LUSH - 8.24.2025 - 12pm (Pastor Terrance Richmond)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

Church Podcast where we seek to love all nations, equip the

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

We're super glad you're joining us from whenever and wherever

you're at in the world. Welcome to the family to get

your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe

some tea, and get ready to receive.

It's go time. Let's get into it.

The wind blows where it will, and though you hear it sound,

yet you neither know where it comes from, nor where it goes

where it is going. So it is with everyone who is

born of the Spirit. Somebody say born of the Spirit

one more time. The wind blows where it wills,

and though you hear it sound, yet you neither know where it

comes from nor where it is going.

So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

When the Spirit hits your life when the wind blows, everything

changes and it's why you got to be ready, not just praying

because a lot of times if you just praying and you distracted

you going to miss when the wind blows and.

Sometimes we miss the seed that God brought to answer our

prayer. We say it again.

Sometime we miss the seed God brought to answer our prayer.

What if I told you? What if I said or you said, Man,

I got a taste for some fruit and I brought you a apple seed?

Are you wondering people might be like, this ain't what I asked

for? You asked for fruit, right?

Well, what if I gave you something that can get you a

tree? It's going to take a little

longer. Now, if I told you that I'd

rather give you a seed that's going to produce a tree versus

just give you a piece of fruit off the tree, which one would

you want? You saying that?

But a lot of time God answers our prayers through seeds, not

trees, right? We want trees.

That's what we want. We want the big thing.

We want what everybody can see. The problem with the seed is you

get the fruits in the form of a seed, then you got to hide it.

And that's the part that we don't like sometimes is when we

have to be unseen for a season, when we have to seemingly be

overlooked, when it has to seem like everybody else around me is

being fruitful and I'm still in this seed form.

But what if I told you that everybody that is fruitful isn't

necessarily rooted? And if they're not root, if

their fruit is not connected to fruit, it's only a matter of if

their fruit is not connected to a root, it is only a matter of

time before that fruit rots, spoils and they cannot

reproduce, right? Because the thing about fruit is

you got to steward the seed. And a lot of times we just want

to eat the fruit, but God's called us to be fruitful and

that fruit remains. Watch this.

Therefore, is he pointing to us, sorry, is it, is it, is it

stewardship? Is the stewardship of fruit

really about how you deal with the seed in the fruit?

So with what God gives you, what are you doing with the seed in

the fruit? There is no fruit without a seed

that God gives you. So the wind blows.

OK, somebody say Numa. It's breath or wind.

It is spirit or life force. It's the vital force or breath

of life that gives rise to consciousness.

Rise to consciousness. Can we also put the slides like

this morning back up on like here, please?

Thank you. Rise to consciousness, sensation

and thought. Rise to consciousness, sensation

and thought. And so when we see the wind blow

into our lives, we have to understand it is bringing us

something that is meant to cause us to what?

Rise to elevate, to have better views?

When the enemy brings a wind, it is meant for us to be destroyed.

God wins are meant to build us. OK, you ever are at home, Say

you're at home and you enjoying yourself.

You've been cleaning up all day, been listening to good music,

you're in a good mood. And then somebody come home in a

bad mood. You ever been there?

Can I get a couple of amens? Unless you sit next to the

person. Amen.

Right. Just look straight ahead Now.

They didn't just bring. You can't have a bad, you can't

be in a bad mood without carrying a bad spirit.

I want you to see what this is. When a person walks in the room,

they bring a wind, a spirit, right?

You ever have been in a bad mood and somebody walk in in a good

mood and you ain't got time for all that.

You want the good mood to leave because they just brought a wind

of life into the room. And when the day of Pentecost

had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place,

when suddenly, suddenly there came a sound from heaven, like

the rushing of a violent tip is blast, and it filled the whole

house in which they were sitting.

Suddenly, suddenly everything changed in the church.

And for the church, when this great wind came, the Spirit of

life, the Holy Spirit that was promised by Jesus Christ came on

the scene in the form of a violent wind, and it filled the

house in which they were sitting.

Ezekiel 37 says this. Then said He to me prophesied to

the breath, and the Spirit, Son of man and sake to the breath

and Spirit. Thus says the Lord God come from

the four winds come from the north SE and the West O breath

and spirit and breathe upon these slain that they may what

live that they may what live few more people join us, they may

what live Now here's the challenge.

Ki want to teach you something real quick.

A lot of our frustrations lead to US pointing fingers.

It leads to us blaming people, it leads to us leaving

countries, it leads to us changing jobs.

You see, You see the theme here? We are caught up trying to ask

God to move things and we're not dealing with the source of what

brought the rubbish into our lives.

When Jesus was on the sea and it was a violent storm, his

disciples were focused on the storm.

Jesus got up and spoke to the what?

When the wind gave the light, the the wind gave life to the

water to become violent. So what you need to discover if

you're dealing with dysfunction in the home, if you're dealing

with an attack on your finances, you're dealing with whatever

you're dealing with. What is the Spirit behind what

you're going through? I want you to see this.

He says prophecy to the breath and prophecy to the Spirit and

tell the breath and Spirit where to go.

Somebody say key, here's a warfare key.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood.

So I can point the finger at you all day.

And if you change and if you do this and you do that and you the

problem and y'all the problem. And I live in this whole stupid

country. It's always raining and the

government is crazy. You see, you just blame me.

You're not dealing with the wind behind the government.

You just get you just giving that negative political energy.

You not if you want things to change, you got to change the

wind. So you got to talk to the wind.

You got to talk to the wind because the spirit or the breath

in the spirit is what carries the life.

And guess what's coming out of your mouth when you complain a a

life, it's a wind. What kind of wind are you

blowing? So are you feeding the negative

wind you want to get rid of? Because what's coming out of

your mouth? Just why?

The Bible says watch it, watch it.

Life and death. What?

What's life? There is no life if there's no

what? Breath.

So life and what death is in the power of the tongue.

So the worst thing you can do is speak negative, breath life

spirit into a negative situation because all you're going to do

is make the tornado bigger. You're going to make the storm

bigger. You're going to feed it.

Bible says this. He says you do not repay evil.

And here's what the devil love is.

When we complain about what's wrong, we don't begin to blow

life into it. See, it's coming down to Do you

believe the word? Do you believe that light is

stronger than darkness? Yes.

You if you believe it's strong. Do you believe that life is

greater than death? OK, so if you do, then you would

understand that what's inside of the believer has the power to

push out darkness. So why would you speak darkness?

Trying to get rid of darkness. It don't add up, do it.

No it don't. 0 + 0 don't equal 1.

No it doesn't. So all you're going to do is

feed the you're. That's why I say guard your

heart, for out of it flows the issues of life.

I promise you what you're complaining about right now.

You have blown wind into that monster.

You are actually seeing back fruit from your mouth, right?

Are you are you speaking about that person, what God says or

how you feel right? You need to say something to

your kids. You're going to be just like

your daddy and then they grow up to be just like they daddy and

you like well why Mama? Why you didn't say something

different? A lot of times we're speaking

our fear into a situation. We're too afraid to believe it

could be different. So he says so I prophesied as he

commanded. So he what?

Talk to me? So he what?

So he didn't just get a word from the Lord, He put what God

gave him on his mouth. So here's a little key in the

house like this. A lot of times we will, the wind

will blow or I'm a blow the wind and give you things to say.

What am I going to give you to say things of life?

And so that is your opportunity to take it off my lips because

it's life to me. It's working for me.

Then put it on your lips. You can't just be so watchy

watchy that you don't get lifey lifey right?

The the my job. If I'm truly to inspire you,

spirit life, if I'm true, I can't inspire you without a

breath of life in my in me. So if I am truly to inspire you,

you actually have to partake in your own inspiration, right?

The concert was not good because they were a great artist alone.

The concert was good because you participated.

You participated so much that the artist put the mic out and

the whole everybody that paid $100 a ticket sang the song.

And that was one of the best times of your life because you

participated, not because they're really that good.

So when you come into God's house, there should be, it

should be so lively that there's words to snatch out the

atmosphere to put on your mouth because God is sinning.

Here it is. Here's another word.

He sent his word to heal our diseases, to push out toxicity.

And so this should be kind of like a lit church because it's a

Bible church and the Bible tells us life and death is in the

power of the tongue. And I know some of y'all came in

here with some stank. I know some of y'all came in

here with some stuff you want to get rid of or you're not proud

of. You not going sit, you not going

to get rid of it. Just being a mere listener.

Yeah, it's like even hip hop or even sing it.

You don't go to a good, it is not a good concert if you don't

participate. Put your hands up, right.

And then you're like, right. It's it's crowd participation.

It's crowd control everywhere, right?

You walk into a store, they say, how may I help you, right?

How are you doing today? I'm doing great.

How are you doing today? Now I'm getting something more

than a coffee. I'm actually getting life from

someone. Do you understand?

You got to drop the bucket in people's souls so you can pull

out their life. So I prophesied as he commanded

me, and the breath and spirit came into the bones, and they

lived and stood. Why did the bones live?

Talk to me. First of all, because God said

gave instructions. Bones live because God said they

could live. And then God gave us something

to do to raise up what we wanted to see live.

The question is what Ezekiel was asked by God.

Do you think these bones can live?

Do you believe this thing can turn around?

Do you believe this thing can change?

Do you believe it could be different?

Guess what you got to do? Participate.

Here it is. He is perfecting in this season

because the wind is about to blow.

He is perfecting in this season because the wind, there is a

wind about to blow and change everything.

There is a wind about to blow. Therefore this is a season to

grow, mature. This is what the last several

years have been all about, God perfecting us.

You've been around, we've been talking about this and he says

the reason I've been perfecting is because I'm about to blow

Genesis 2 Watch this. Then the Lord God formed man

from the dust of the ground and what breathed into his nostrils

the breath or spirit of life? Did that word pneuma go again

and man became a what? Living being without the breath

of life, man was nothing but earth.

Man was what you call dead, but I want you to see something then

the Lord God for man for a few of you in here.

All that you've been going through is God's been forming

you. He's been forming the right you

so you can handle the right breath.

I like this sequence right here. He has been in.

We have been in a season of perfecting or forming.

And then he says the way I work is I normally form or I allow a

mess that is going and I use a mess that is going to form you.

Right after that you can expect a wind to blow.

Look, look. Pentecost could not come without

the right formula. They were all united in one

space. Jesus died.

Jesus rose. He said don't leave Jerusalem

until the Holy Ghost comes. They did not leave.

There's these steps that have to take place.

There was grieving before the Holy Spirit came.

And what happened? He breathes.

I'm, I'm excited. I'm just going to take a moment

to prophecy what he just put in my mouth.

Lord, I thank you that you've been equipping me.

You've been forming me, you've been forming my family, you've

been forming my children, you've been forming my wife, you've

been, you've been forming love quest.

You have been equipping us. You have been perfecting us,

Lord. And we expect now in the name of

Jesus, the breath and spirit of life to be blown our way.

Lord, clean up these streets, clean up these alleyways, bring

in the finances, bring in the workers, bring in the laborers,

in the name of Jesus. It is in your word, Lord, that

you use, and what the enemy has meant for evil, you use for our

good, Lord. So we thank you that there is

not one situation in our lives that you are not using for the

molding. We thank you for it, Lord, and

we command the breath and spirit of life to come now into every

dry situation. To every situation Father, that

God wants to use, we thank you that you, you send the breath

and spirit of life now in Jesus name.

Formed. Somebody say formed implies A

deliberate shaping, a deliberate shaping and molding process like

a Potter rather than creation from nothing.

So in other words, you actually have little value if you ain't

been through nothing. Like we can't be like children

who think we've been through something.

You know, kids think they've been through a lot.

They they put up, they put a lot on it.

Like you ain't really used that 15 you, you actually blessed.

You ain't been through nothing. Mature you.

You've been abandoned. Yeah.

You was traumatized when you was young.

Rape, molestation, abuse, addiction, bad car accident,

attempted suicide, cancer. You've overcome it.

You've lost loved ones. You've lost friends, you've lost

jobs. I, I would assume that everybody

in here has been through something.

For some of us, we try to forget it.

We try to, we try to, we try to push it away, not knowing that

God actually needs that. There's nobody in here that

would sit through a movie without the tension of mess and

redemption. Have you ever just watched a

movie that was just good from the beginning?

Like positive, the whole thing? There was no tension.

There was, there was no, no, no nobody trying to hate on the

good. There was none of that.

It was just, I love just charming movies.

No, no, no, no, no. You need the tension in your

life. You need the mess in your life.

No, no, I'm going to just pause for a minute and thank God not

only I've been places and I have failed and I have been through

storms and I've come from nothing to something.

Even Drake started from the bottom, he thinks, and now we're

here, right? It's just like, no, why is that

song Connect? Why is that song Connect, right?

It's like I've been, I, I, I can relate to these people.

These people can relate to being nothing, to being overlooked, to

being caught up in a mess, to to like being abandoned, to being

rejected, to have a mental illness, whatever it may be.

You have something in your story that someone needs to overcome,

a deliberate shaping. I will say these last five

years, whoever you are, it has been very deliberate by God.

And there's things in your life he could have stopped, but he

didn't. He kept you.

He was allowing the enemy to sit for you like we He was hiding

you. He was not delaying you.

He was equipping you like a Potter rather than creation from

nothing. In other words, he cannot form

nothing like he can't form nothing.

He needs something single parent household.

He's like give me that. Throw that in the bowl molested,

you've been molested, you've been sexually violated.

Throw that in the bowl. No, don't throw it in the trash.

Throw that in the bowl. Some of the best meals I have

for my grandma. She just took a little bit of

everything and made something right.

When somebody trying to cook something for you, like when

kids be like ain't no food here. This that spoiled generation get

that same pantry to a Mama or a grand Mama, and they going to

find some little pieces here and there and they going to make

something and it's going to be good.

And you going to ask them what was that they're going to say?

I don't know what it was, baby, right.

Yeah. Lord.

Use it all. Use it all.

Lord. That's what Joseph told his

brothers. He said no, no, no, no, no, no,

no. Don't apologize.

Don't apologize. What you meant for evil.

God is going to use the same exact thing for my good.

Don't apologize, Don't apologize.

You hurt me. Don't apologize.

Like, like, like, that's like, that's maturity right there.

When you don't need an apology, see, when you don't need an

apology, you'll stop trying to make people pay, right?

You see that negative wind you keep blowing?

What? And look, it's never going to

work because you are a part of the storm.

After you've done all you can do, Well, what every believer

can do is stand shut they mouth full of negativity and begin to

speak life over it and don't change it because the wind of

life is either going to blow it away or it's going to form it

into something new. So you're going to have to leave

me because I'm loving the hell out of you.

You're not going to leave me because I'm breathing hell into

your life. Yeah.

So repent, change, turn around, return to God that your sins may

be erased, blotted out, wiped clean.

That times of what? Refreshing.

Watch this repenting is not only dealing with turning from sin.

What does repent mean? Change your mind.

Have you ever, do you know that you, there's levels to this

thing, right? If, if you're a high school

athlete, you're going to have to mature your mind to becoming a

college athlete. If you, if you're, if you're a,

a trainer of elementary students, do you know that

you're going to have to mature to become a college trainer?

Because every level has different needs from you, you

know, you know, you got to change your mind when you start

a business from being employee to be an employer, right?

You know, you know, when you become free, you got to change

your mind from a slave mentality to that's why he made sure to

let us know we are not slaves. We are his friends.

Do you know when you'd become when you get free from being an

orphan? You got to put on the mind a

sonship. You understand that, right?

So repentance ain't all about you sinning.

It's not all about when God when you hear God say repent, you

start investigating if you're in sin.

Sometime when God is saying repent, he is saying upgrade

time. He's saying I'm about to do

something new in your life and you going to need to get get a

different capacity. Isaiah 58 If you get rid of

unfair practices, quit blaming victims, quit gossiping about

other people sins, if you are generous with the hungry and

start giving yourself to the down and out, your lives will

begin to glow in the darkness. Your shadow lives will be bathed

in sunlight. I will always show you where to

go. I'll give you a full life in the

emptiest of places, firm muscles, strong bones.

I love the word of God, 'cause He just gave me a boat.

He just gave me a conversation. He just gave me vocabulary and

He just gave me words to replace the negative wind.

Watch this. When he give me this word, I'm

like, Father, thank you in the name of Jesus.

Because now I have repented. I have turned Lord, God, I have

shifted my mind. I am done with old things.

I want to walk in the new Lord. I thank you in the name of Jesus

that my life is now glowing because I have turned from my

wicked ways, from my, from my old ways, my elementary ways, my

insecure ways. And now, Lord, you have placed

the light in me, that it may shine in darkness.

Thank you that I will always show you.

You will always show me where to go.

Thank you that that you'll give me a full life.

So when my life is being threatened, I have words to

confess Lord, that I have full life to the full till it

overflows. You will give me full life in

the emptiest of places. So if you call me to walk in

famine, famine is not my identity.

Lord, You have called me to be a resource in famine.

You call me to Wally. I don't care how many tombstones

is in Wally. You have called us to speak to

dry bones in Jesus name, firm muscles.

Lord, I thank You because Your spirit is within me that I can

walk amongst the weak. Strong.

My bones are strong. Lord, I am no longer feeble.

I shall live a long life and not just existing but I will have a

vibrant life in my older age. Again, if we want to look at

this prophetically, we can look at the strong bones and firm

muscles as God-given us a strategy that can stand the test

of times. So, so for all my entrepreneurs

in here, God is ready to breathe a breath of strategy into your

business. Watch this because God is not

asking you to build for today. He is asking you to build

something that will stand the test of times that are to come

right now that that before Tesla became popular, folks is like,

but then you got one and then it became popular and then you're

like, oh, that's not that bad. There's always resistance where

there's not understanding. So are you willing as an

entrepreneur to build when people I have not even

understood why? Why did you build that way?

Well, people now going to come to you 5 years from now because

what they was building for is done.

It cannot stand the test of time.

Do you know how many buildings could not stand and live through

COVID? They're done like it wasn't they

just closed. There was business and closed.

There was businesses that have been destroyed because they were

not COVID proof. There are ministries that were

destroyed because they were not COVID proof.

I don't think that was God. God may have used COVID to allow

some stuff he was done with to go, but I believe way before

COVID God was speaking to his church.

Right, Closed doors won't close our church because closed doors

or open doors was never the definition of my church.

When your church is mobilized, it don't matter if the church

doors are open or closed. So I don't care what may come.

Our church is ready to go. We ready to go to art gallery.

We ready to go to Jackpool Plaza.

We could pop up a concert anywhere, any day, anytime.

We are agile. That way we can move.

God can truly move us any way, anytime, any part of the world.

You provide the resources, we are ready.

We are unafraid to move. As you move your pace, You give

us the anointing. You give us the grace.

It does not matter. So if dark times are promised,

are we building and equipping people that can stand the test

of time when COVID returns? When everything gets shut down

again? Are you equipped when social

distance is law or are we going to be fighting then it don't

matter. You can't stop me.

Show me a Jesus that was worried about the times.

All Jesus came to do is equip us for the times.

A foundation that cannot be moved.

Why are you worried about this foundation?

That foundation that you're trying to stabilize was promised

to be shaken. Hey, hey, guess what?

I do know the government is government.

The world is worlding. You get what I'm saying?

The world is worlding. Why are we trying to stop the

world from worlding? The church should be what

churching. The Kingdom should be Kingdom

men. Sons and daughters should be

sons and daughter men, right? Spirit filled people should be

doing spirit filled things. See you, you'll be he said Look,

look, look, he'll look. God my father, keep talking to

me. You get you didn't give me some

more words. God, you'll be like a well

watered garden. What's a well watered garden,

right. It's pretty.

Lord, I'm going to be pretty. Lord, you are going to flourish

me right? I'm going to have this water is

going to allow me to to, to plant good seed and have good

discernment. So even when you look at my

kids, you're going to look at my friends, you're going to look at

everything I touch will prosper and be beautiful and and bounce

it for because it's it's my my garden is what's your garden

right here. My heart is good.

Bible says, Bible says, Bible says that a good heart can't

produce bad fruit. I know you like, oops, I didn't

mean to say that, but where it come from.

Maybe you didn't mean to, but you also wouldn't guard your

heart in which what came out your mouth came.

What you said came out your heart.

Now if you don't mean it, then change your heart.

Don't say you didn't mean it because it hurt my feelings,

because what came out your mouth that hurt my feelings is

actually hurting you more. That's the unfortunate part.

For disgusting stuff to come out of your mouth.

You got to have a disgusting heart, OK?

That's what the words say. That's what the words say.

Somebody say That's what the words say.

That's what I mean. It's right there.

It's right there. Watch this.

It says a gurgling spring that never runs, man.

God, you tell. Like, even if it feels dry, the

word tells me I'm not, of course.

So if I'm dry, it ain't because you ain't supplying water.

So, Lord, please, please. PJ prayed something on

Wednesday. I think it was.

But Lord, please expose the leaks in my life.

Where is life leaking from me? Listen, you notice what I what

we prayed. We didn't pray.

Bandage it up, because all it takes is enough pressure, the

right amount of pressure for them band aids to pop off.

Lord, expose the leaks and close the leaks.

Come on, Lord, close the leaks in my life.

Where am I bleeding? Where am I bleeding out?

Lord God, where is life leaving me?

What am I entertaining that I shouldn't be entertaining?

Where am I spending my breath where I shouldn't be spending my

breath? Where am I spending my attention

where I shouldn't be spending my attention?

Where am I allowing anxiety to steal?

Lord, heal me there. Don't just patch me up.

Heal me because it's in Your word that I should be

flourishing, that I should be flooding with living water, that

I should be a life source for others.

You'll use the the old rubble of past lives to build a new

rebuild the foundations from my man, man like like God.

This is this is the building next door.

This is our lives that God is redoing.

He is making Newsome things, man.

I saw the things my Mama struggled with.

I saw the things my my uncle struggle with.

I saw the things my father struggle with and still struggle

with. And I look at what God is doing

in my life, in my family's life, and you can see him restoring.

You can see God writing a new narrative in the bloodline.

Come on man. Come on man, man, it's worth the

fight. It's worth the fight because you

are allowing God to clean the bloodline where the enemy can

steal no more. You stole from my great

granddaddy. You stole from my granddaddy.

You stole from my daddy. You stole from my grandma.

You stole from my Mama. But it stops right here.

Like, like, like where's the people?

That's like, It stops with me. Come on.

It stops with me. Not another generation.

Come on Lord, it stops with me. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not letting another one of

the devil's snares work lift through me.

The moment I stopped blaming my daddy is the moment I dried up

the enemy's plans for my bloodline moving forward 'cause

when I realized that my daddy didn't know no better.

Yeah, morally, sure. But my daddy didn't have

spiritual language. He wasn't a prayer warrior.

Some of y'all sitting here punishing people because they

hurt you carnally. But nobody taught him the word.

They didn't know that their wrestle was not against flesh

and blood. They didn't have the the tools

to fight against principalities. They didn't know generational

demons assigned to their bloodline.

They didn't have that language. My grandma didn't have that

language, but I do now, right, Right.

This is saying come here, come here, come here, sweetie, come

here, come here. Watch this, watch this real

quick, real quick see when you got language, it's no longer the

fight is no longer. We ain't even doing this.

It's just. But when you understand that

it's not against flesh and blood, there's this partnership.

There's this partnership, and you begin to go at it.

Because the truth is, is the enemy been attacking her

bloodline? And if all I'm doing is yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm speaking death into her

storm. And the enemy got some of y'all

bickering more than he got y'all interceding and praying.

See, this is the kind of work God says I have a miracle if

you're OK without closure. Thank you, Thank you.

I have a miracle if you are OK. Like like if I serve a suddenly

God, what would I? What would happen if I take my

eyes off the storm? How long did it take the

disciples to complain about the storm?

How long when Jesus spoke did it take for the storm to cease?

You, some of you are giving the life to the very storm you want

God to take away. Let me tell you, if that person

could explain to you why they jacked up, it still would make

you happy. You don't want watch this.

You don't want an explanation. It's the little girl or the

little boy crying out for healing and the person you mad

at. Maybe they've inflicted some

wounds, but I'm probably here to tell some of you.

They, they, they, they, they rubbed up at worse.

That person snatched a Band-Aid off your cut.

They ain't the person who cut you in the first place.

You entered into this thing cut. That's what I'm telling you.

Stop the bleeding before you get into a cup and then start

bleeding on somebody else. There's some stuff that happened

in our they're like, it's funny now.

It's like the stuff we used to spend hours mad.

Is it like worth still in my peace?

God is ready to do something, but it's coming like a wind.

Like, like, like here, you know, you know, you know, when you've

been at something for so long and it ain't showed up and you

like, I don't even want it no more.

If you ever had a restaurant, you ordered your food and it's

taking really long and then you like, I'm about to go, that's

OK. We don't want our food.

No, you got to be that way with the attack on your house.

You got to go to whoever you at alt with right now in your life

and just say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We're not going to talk about that.

We've talked about it. And where did that lead us?

Clearly I'm not ready for your explanation because I don't

trust you in the 1st place. How you going to ask somebody?

How you going to ask foreclosure from somebody you don't trust

you setting them up and yourself up?

Won't you just by faith the relationship from this point

forward and speak life. No, it says somebody shout out.

It's a choice here. It is.

What we want is I want Julia to heal me through promises and

through repetitive behavior that proves to me she's changed.

I'm not asking God to heal me. And that's why you not healed

yet because you are dependent on somebody else to bring healing

to you That can't heal you. They can't get rid of your

anxiety even if they start having peace.

Your anxiety is in you. The only reason they make you

anxious or the conversation make you anxious or the future you

think about what them make you anxious is because you have a

seed of anxiety in you. You can't make me that way if I

already don't have a root for you to cling on to.

I wasn't here's the Bible. Don't give the enemy a foot.

He got to have like I can't. I can't.

I can't climb no rocks if I ain't got nothing to.

What's that called? What's that called?

Foothold. What's that called?

You ain't never climbed no rock, but you not foothold, Foothold,

foothold. But I'm.

I'm looking for the a boulder. No, what's the thing?

What do I clip my clips into Anchor?

OK, that feels a little now. I feel like I'm a Little Rock

climber right now when I normally anchor to that boulder,

right? I need a place to what anchor?

See, here's what healing does. It doesn't just make you feel

good, it completely eliminates places the enemy can anchor.

And some of y'all got way too many anchor points.

Enemy holding on to you like this?

No, no, no, no, Like you got to get the enemy just like bear,

like I just prophesied over your life that in the next four

months that the enemy is he, he going to be barely hanging on.

The enemy right now is losing his grips on you in the name of

Jesus. Come on, we we cast down every

anchor point. We close up those points, The

enemy is defeated in the name of Jesus.

That's what redeeming the bloodline does.

It removes sees. He hits what you got to

understand yo Mama could have left anchor points.

That's when you neglect transforming.

You leave anchor points in your bloodline.

Wait a minute, how I was born loving alcohol, man Cuz man, how

did this spirit of this come up on me, man?

There was people that didn't have the tools to get rid of the

anchor points, but that got to stop with you.

There's more on the line than you.

When it is bigger than you, you do not need to be satisfied in

order to participate in change. When it is bigger than you, you

do not need to be satisfied in order to participate in change.

People are fighting for freedom, for humanity, equality for

humanity, so they'll take being beat or locked up unjustly or

hosed down by fire hose for the sake of other people freedom if

they were trying to hold on to their own satisfaction.

We will not have people fighting for the next generation.

Jesus understood that carrying that cross was going to be a

heavy load. So what are the choices?

Where do you need to be rooted? What are the decisions you need

to make? What are the battles?

Here it is that you need to fight but also let go.

You say you're going to restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate,

make the community livable again.

And that's what we're doing here at Love Quest with this church,

this building right over here. We are making this community

livable again. Listen, a community is not

livable because it has affordable housing.

A community is not livable because you throw up some nice

buildings around. That's like having a nice body,

but you got hell going on in your soul.

A community is livable because there's a vibrant church in that

community. There's a vibrant group of

people. There is a church where Jesus is

alive that they So it's good if this church was not here, praise

God, if it was not here, I would hope he had another plan, right?

But the fact that this church has gone up while a new

community is being built speaks to God's plan for a community

that was thrown away. Just to let y'all know, if

anybody asks you what church you go to, you going to say Love

Quest International Church Wally?

You not going to say Surrey Central?

You going to say Wally? We want people that have prayed

over Wally to see Wally got a facelift and hey, hey.

I thank God when he gave me my new man, he didn't change my

name. My name is still Terrence.

So when I go back home, they say Terrence, that's you.

Yeah, that's me. Yeah, that's me.

Somebody say, yeah, that's me. So to restore it is to bring

something back to its original state, to heal or repair, or to

make things better than they were, to make things better than

they were. So when God says He has a plan

to restore, it is not to just merely bring the same thing back

in the same condition it was. It is to bring things back to

better than they were before. Do you know how many people know

about this street over the years?

And the best Mama and your dad went to Bible college right down

the street. They used to walk around here

and pray now years ago, right? What's what's her name again?

The revivalist. She want she I moved here.

She moved to Oakland. Violet Kiteley Go go look her

up. We had anointing for revival

here. She moved to Oakland, CA planted

a church full of color folk, Caucasian woman.

It is that one of the most diverse churches in Oakland.

Smack in the middle of the hood. I love it.

So you mean somebody that saw that that used to go around

Wall-e and pray push back. She was a woman.

So there was there was men ministers who would who would

would not let her voice be heard over the pulpit in churches.

God moved that gift to Oakland, CA.

That's right where I'm from. That's what it is like a block

down from the school I went to Violet kindly it's called

Shiloh. That church still exists and

it's popping. It's fire.

I think she's passed on. It is.

It got the same fire she built it with.

So we traded locations. She couldn't be the revivalist

here, just like I couldn't be the revivalist there, you know,

because they just knew me. That's just little T, That's

little Jesus the Carpenter. That's no, no, no, no, no, no.

So God will do these things and she prayed for love quest.

She didn't know what the name was.

She prayed all all of her team prayed that college Annabeth

parents went to they prayed the man that owned the building next

door that we are renovating was a believer and he prayed that a

church would move into the building so we can't.

He prayed a church would move into the building, not on the

property. I don't know if he meant to pray

it that way, but that was a prayer of renovation, not

demolishing and building something new that's

unnoticeable. No, we want some of the they

walking through there. Hey, we need to tear this piece

of metal down. No, no, no, That's cute, right?

That's not you. Ain't anybody got like a little

cute birthmark. Like keep the birthmark there,

keep the little mold there. That's cute.

Keep that, keep that busted head scar right there.

I got 1 scar. I had chicken pox bad and I was

picking them and then God just blessed me with one cute one

right here. It is cute.

I'm dark skinned and the and the little chicken pox scar is

darker, but it just kind of blended in.

But if you get up close on me, you see a little cute little

right there. Just keep it.

It's a scar that I so next door, you're going to see some

personality in there. Somebody going to walk in there

and be like why they keep that up there?

It's a remnant of what was so when people walk in there, they

used to shoot crack and sit in that corner or when, when, when,

when the man, what is the man's name of the auto Body Shop that

that on harms when harms family come back over here one day

because they going to hear about how God transformed that

building. They going to walk in and

they're going to be like, Oh my God, my dad's office was right

here. Whoa.

All right. It's a story we need.

We need. When you walk around the

building, you need to see your life.

Oh, God kept that. You just blessed my heart,

Michael. Look at you, boy.

Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Sir.

Amen. Amen.

Amen. Hallelujah.

This is what he just spoke. This is what he spoke, Right?

Better renovate involves making a complete and beneficial

change. Beneficial change like

demolishing old patterns and replacing them with what is new

and aligned with God's will. It encompasses the concept of

regeneration or making things new to restore spiritual life,

purity and wholeness, moving from corrupt state to a pure

one. How many people remember this

scripture? But also on the judgement Day, I

will restore David's house that has fallen to pieces.

I'll repair the holes in the roof.

Did that replace the broken windows?

Did that fix it up like new? Doing that, David's people.

That's us. We'll be strong again and seize

what's left of the enemy. You see how the enemy left that?

We seized it, plus everyone else under my sovereign judge, and

watch this God's decree, He will do this.

Yes, indeed. It won't be long now, God's

decree. Things are going to happen so

fast, your head will swim. 2025 that scripture describes my head

swimming one thing fast on the heels of the other.

You won't be The thing about when God tells you it's about to

pop off. There's a pop off anointing.

So when you're trying to stop it from moving so fast, you are

getting in the way of what the anointing was supposed to do.

So for some of you, it won't slow down.

It's going to get busier, but I promise you, this busy from God

was never meant to make you slow down in what He's called you to

do, right? There's call.

Watch it. There's a difference between

call and purpose. There's a difference between

talent and gift, right? I have one purpose in this

earth. It's to bring glory to God.

That's that's just too simple. That's just too simple.

Call can shift with the wind talents and gifts support call.

Do not allow what you're gifted and talented to do or even

desire to do to move you out of what you're called to do.

There is a grace to do it. Oh, watch this.

I got a lot of entrepreneurs in this in this room.

Want to read a scripture I read on Sunday on Wednesday just

because running out of time and we have our first installment of

giving this morning. I want you to see this to my all

my entrepreneurs watch this scripture really quick.

Watch this scripture really quick since Paul and Aquila were

both tent makers by trade. What all right, so all you

entrepreneurs can put they find in it over there.

You can put it in here. What I underlined is coming is

is down the thing. Just come on, you got glasses

on. They were tent makers by what

trade? Paul moved in with them and they

became business partners. Every Sabbath day Paul spoke

openly in the synagogue he taught to both Jews and non

Jews, attempting to persuade them to believe the message of

Jesus. Amen.

I don't mind. I'll share with you guys.

It's down there. You see that?

Y'all see that huh? No, if it sure could have found

it by now. It's only a few slides down.

You see that He was a what? Tent maker.

But we know Paul as a what talk, talk to me.

We know Paul as a what talk to me.

We know Paul as a apostle. Wednesday we talked about the

lost years of Jesus. We know him from birth.

He popped on the scene at 13 and then all of a sudden he's 30 and

then he lives for three more years.

And that's what we mostly see recorded.

What was he doing in those years?

Being perfected, being molded for call?

He was a Carpenter, but he also was training to be a rabbi.

But why they wanted to kill him is because he wasn't like the

traditional rabbi. He spoke with interpretation or

revelation. Most rabbis as Jewish custom,

they only learn from the scrolls and from what the rabbi taught

before them. And it was just supposed to be

passed down. Jesus come on the scene with

some crazy stuff, but he was being perfected.

And so we see here, we see Paul Tent making to support call and

then after a while guys, the church began to support call.

He used his gift and talent and interests to support Call.

Watch it. His business didn't support his

lifestyle. So for those that don't think

that they cannot do both and do all, Paul was called to be an

apostle and he used his gifts and talents to support call.

So when we use this new language of marketplace ministry, it does

not mean we get consumed in the marketplace.

I hear people saying, yeah, but I still share Jesus.

Yes, Paul did too. But guess what else he did?

He equipped the church. The part we forget as

marketplace leaders is your first responsibility is the

body. It's the Bible.

It's the body and now we have new language marketplace Mark

Noah list marketplace Biblically, God never allowed

treasure or meant for treasure to steal call.

So as we build our businesses, just understand God's purpose

for those. As we give today, we serve a

generous God. Second Corinthians 9, you guys

can take this. Second Corinthians 9.

God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you're

ready for anything in everything.

More than just ready to do what needs to be done.

Y'all see this? God's plan for generosity and

for your prosperity in every area is that you are equipped to

do more than what needs to be done.

Generosity says here, I know you're asking for this, to get

this done, but take a little extra for whatever else needs to

get done or whatever else might get, might pop up.

As one psalmist puts it, he throws caution to the winds,

giving to the needy in reckless, abandoned his right living,

right giving ways. Never run out, never wear out

this most generous God who gives seed to the farmer or to the

sower. What does this say?

God who gives seed to the sower? God who gives seed to the God

who gives seed to the sower. God who gives seed to the sower.

So if God has blessed you with crazy abundance, then guess

what? He's also expecting that you are

generous because he has given seed to the farmer.

Watch this. One might say, I don't have seed

to sow. Then I'll ask you this question.

Do you sow right? A farmer is really a farmer, he

be farming, she be farming. An alcoholic is not someone who

drinks once. So I didn't ask have you sown.

I asked, do you sow? Because the reason why you

always have seed to sow is because you always sow.

So this most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that

becomes bread for your meals. The way he provides to you is to

get seed through you. He gives you something you can

then give away, which then grows into full formed lives, robust

in God, wealthy in every way. This is the Kingdom's economy,

so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us

great praise to God. Watch this.

You do not you. You are not going without

because you make little. Some of you are going without

because you are not generous with what you have now.

Watch it and when you give, do you give with poverty mindset?

Do you give out of fear? Do you give out of tight

fistedness? Or do you give fully trusting

into God? Watch how a former souls The

Bible says the farmer in the Kingdom scatters.

The farmer in the Kingdom isn't. Oh Jesus, no, the farmer in the

Kingdom is. It's like maybe I just actually

can't do this because I'm a farmer.

My way to increase in the Kingdom is to be a sower.

It is not to hoard. It is not merely saved.

That's a part of good stewardship.

Watch it. Saving is a part of good

stewardship. It's a part of it.

It's not the end all be all. Sowing along with saving is

dynamite so that when God presents an opportunity, the

scripture says I can give whenever He calls.

How many have seen sewing as a ministry?

That's a king. So those that God is breathing

on your businesses, there's a kingly anointing on you, whether

you know it or not. God can trust you with a lot,

but as he promotes you, as he increases you, the last thing

you should do. No, I come against the fear to

scatter in scattering. It is say that the farmer goes

all over the city and scatters. He scatters to the ordained

soil. One of the most beautiful things

about the local church. I don't know if you've seen it

this way. One of the most beautiful things

about the local church, assume this is a really good church, is

that God has put you in good soil to sow that the days of

your lack come to an end when you get rooted in the soil

you're called to. Have you seen your church as

soil to be rooted in or a place to be inspired from?

Everything changed in my marriage the moment I got rooted

in my church. I'm talking about rooted.

That was my pastor. Therefore his marriage opened up

to me and I, I was able to glean and he I was able to see certain

things and how he led because I was rooted.

Here's what he says that he plants us by what Psalm.

The Lord is mine, right? He plants us so that the water

that runs so, you know, when you don't allow your roots to get

into place, you miss out on the water that's flowing in that

place. So Father, we thank you.

We thank you. We thank you for such a lush

season, not just monetary. Lord, we thank you for a lush

harvest of peace and a lush harvest of hope and love and

healing and joy and patience. A lush harvest of the fruit of

the Spirit. Lord, our prayer today is not

used us. It is abide in US.

Abide in US. Using US is a byproduct.

It is a fruit of you abiding in US.

So Lord, abide in US. Make yourself at home in US.

Live through US, pour through US, flow through US.

Thank you for restoring families today.

Thank you for restoring minds today.

Hey Lord, I thank you. We are a generous, a generous

church, a generous community, a generous people.

And I pray, Lord, you do prosper the kings in this church.

But Lord, those that you have called with a king and priestly

anointing, Lord, we pray in the name of Jesus that you give them

the wisdom, the skill, your spirit, your anointing to find

the rhythm between the two. Lord, I thank you for divine

relationships forming in this place, Power families, power

covenants. So we just say to the wind,

blow. We say to the breath and spirit

of life, blow, come on, blow in this place, blow in our lives,

blow in our families, blow on our jobs.

Lord, may we be a wind when we walk into the store, there's a

wind of joy when we walk into our homes, there's a wind of

love when we walk into the Cafe. Lord, there's a wind of hope.

Lord, may we be the wind someone needs, Lord God, so we ask that

you breathe on us. So wherever we go, Lord God,

that there is a wind that transforms somebody's life, let

your light shine through US. Let your river flow overflow our

banks. Bless God, bless God, bless God,

bless God, bless God, bless God in Jesus name God Amen.

few claps. We
