-
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.
-
Thank. You, Lord, for the blood of
-
Jesus and the great sacrifice that he is and he's made for us.
-
You know, we when you recognize, and this is part of it, when you
-
recognize that you had absolutely no way to make it.
-
None, no way. And God, Jesus shed his blood
-
and that was the only way for you to make it.
-
You had no way to make it except for that.
-
Part of the reason it's hard to connect with this song sometimes
-
is because of God's grace and His mercy.
-
We think we have a way to make you without the blood because of
-
His grace and mercy that allows us to get up because of His
-
grace and His mercy that allows those to cuss His name and to
-
deny Him. But He still breathed the breath
-
that they gave to them because of His grace and His mercy.
-
There's a sense that there's another way you can make it, but
-
when you come to understand, I don't stand here except for the
-
blood. I don't jump out of a window of
-
A7 story building that I lived in at one time.
-
Except for the blood. I'm not here with hope.
-
Except for the blood. There's no other way. 0 Thank
-
you, Lord, for that blood. Thank you team.
-
That's it. Oh yes, yes, there's certain
-
songs that hit you a certain kind of way.
-
What she playing this yes, I mentioned this song first
-
message and this is the kind of this is the kind of love you
-
have for people in this house. You can have a seat.
-
They care enough to listen to you and to really hear you and
-
see you. We're a house that sees each
-
other. Now you ask her to play that.
-
There's a song that says there is a fountain filled with blood
-
that flows from Emmanuel's veins.
-
And when sinners plunge beneath the flow, they lose all of their
-
guilty stains. That's what she's playing right
-
there. And the great thing about that
-
song that that that hits me is it's not just forgiving, but you
-
lose every stain of guilt. You can't find it nowhere.
-
It's like a shoe with no crease. You can't find it nowhere.
-
It's like a fitted with no sweat stain.
-
Can't find it nowhere. You can't find it nowhere.
-
And I thank God for the blood of Jesus.
-
It's the blood that's kept me married.
-
First time I heard that song, my wife and I was in a marriage
-
conference and a woman stand up and she began to talk about what
-
the blood of Jesus has done and and they sang this song and it's
-
been in my heart ever since. Amen.
-
Pastors, I thank you for an opportunity to to share the word
-
of God with the people of God and with your people.
-
You know, you're not just God's people.
-
You're also pastors Terence, Pastor Julia's people.
-
Can you change that timer to five?
-
O please for me 5O50 But you're also past the Terence's people.
-
Not in a possessive sense that he puts you on a shelf and look,
-
says everyone look at what I own.
-
But you're his people. You pass the genius people.
-
That means when you hurt, they hurt.
-
When you celebrate, they celebrate with you.
-
When you see us out front, they're still in the back crying
-
out to God, even though you may never see them.
-
They're taking bullets and taking blows, figurative bullets
-
and blows, so we never have to see them.
-
You're not just God's people, you're Pastor Terence, Pastor
-
Julia's people too, because that's how much they love and
-
they care, and they intercede for you like you're their
-
people. They defend you like you're
-
their people with stuff going down with you.
-
It says no, not with Troy, with me.
-
So I thank you for the privilege, pastor, of not only
-
sharing the Word of God, but sharing the Word of God with
-
God's people and with your people.
-
And every time I share the Word, my desire is not that I preach
-
as good as you. I can't not that my slide game
-
be as good as yours. I'm getting there.
-
It's competition. But my hope is that I meet the
-
level to which you love people. And I hope I rise close to the
-
level to which you desire to impact people and see people
-
transformed in the way that God gives me to present through the
-
gifts and the way he made me. And thank you for allowing me to
-
have that freedom to be me as God's made me.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
So we going to go straight today, cry out.
-
I'm continuing part of the message, adding a little aspect
-
to it that I have to talk with pastor.
-
I said, how can I contribute to the message?
-
How can I contribute to where with the momentum what we're
-
doing? And he talked about the message
-
cry out and we talked about maybe talk about it from a
-
context of prayer And I, you know, I'm all over that.
-
I'm like, you know, you know what I'm saying?
-
Stop, Adam. OK.
-
That was a cupcake I was eating. OK, in the context of prayer.
-
OK. And so I thought I could add
-
something to that to help us along the way.
-
Then the great thing about our pastors is that they don't just
-
make you hold water. They allow you to advance the
-
Kingdom. There's a trust there to say,
-
hey, just don't say something that's just like, it don't
-
matter. Say something's going to
-
advance. So when we come back, all of us
-
have moved forward together. So I thank you for that trust.
-
Cry out in prayer. The Father's listening, and I
-
want to talk about it, what it means to cry out.
-
When you cry out, there's a cry of the soul that all of heaven
-
and earth responds to. That's the way it's structured,
-
that when your soul really cries out, you have to get an answer.
-
When your soul cries out, the Kingdom puts on a stop and
-
responds. And the key about crying out in
-
prayer is, is, is to have a cry that comes from your soul, to
-
have a cry that comes from the depth of you and the essence of
-
you. There's different kinds of
-
prayer. It's my belief in understanding
-
from the Scripture, from life experience, the most consistent
-
prayer that a believer will pray is the prayer of Thanksgiving
-
because God, Jesus has already done it all, saved it all,
-
bought it all, fixed it all, kept it all, graced it all, gave
-
it all, filled it all, do it all, repaired it all.
-
He's done it all. So our greatest prayers, thank
-
you for doing it. That's the prayer we pray most
-
consistently. And then I think our next
-
greatest prayer is probably a prayer of declaration, Move, go,
-
do, be healed, stand up, be encouraged.
-
You're pointing to something and you're declaring something into
-
it. That's probably the next second
-
prayer. Bible says this.
-
Jesus talked about speak to the mountain.
-
Even say climb the mountain. That's a great song.
-
Even say climb the mountain, unless you want exercise and a
-
different view. But if the mountain in your way
-
speak to the mountain, it'd be removed, right?
-
So that the declaration is important.
-
So there's all kinds of prayer, but there is a prayer that comes
-
from the cry of your soul. And it's not based on a volume.
-
It's based on a depth of where it comes from on the deep inside
-
of you. Philippians 4 says this, Be
-
careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
-
supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known
-
unto God. Be anxious for nothing, he said.
-
What the scripture is saying is that there's a place where an
-
anxiety can hit you, seemingly feel makes you feel like it's
-
crippling you. There's a response to that
-
anxiety, and that is prayer and supplication.
-
Not just prayer, but prayer and supplication.
-
That when anxiety is shaking your life and vibrating your
-
life, make screaming so loud at you that you'll never make it.
-
There's no way you're going to go.
-
There's no way it's going to happen.
-
Prayer is great, but when you add supplication to it, it
-
becomes a cry that's louder than the anxiety that's talking to
-
you. OK, Prayer and supplication with
-
Thanksgiving is important because the Thanksgiving is the
-
confidence that you have that the God to whom you're crying
-
out to and the thing you're crying out in really is already
-
done. So I'm never crying out with a
-
sense of uncertainty. I don't know.
-
You like that. I practice that.
-
No, I didn't. No, I didn't.
-
Adam, my son is actor. I was like, I don't know.
-
I don't know. I don't know which one I don't
-
know. OK, first one.
-
OK, cool. No, no, but it's never like, I
-
don't know. It's like I know I see what I'm
-
seeing, but I know, right? The cries out with Thanksgiving.
-
Let your requests be made known unto God, it says, and the peace
-
of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your
-
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
-
Through this prayer and supplication in the face of
-
anxiety, you'll have the peace of God guarding your heart and
-
mind. It may not change your
-
circumstances, but it will change your soul and your
-
perspective to a place where you know you can't be defeated.
-
You have to understand when you stand up with I can't lose, that
-
means the game got to bow to you.
-
If I stand up with AI can't lose, that means someone will
-
have to change the rules of the game, the competition, because I
-
can't lose. Supplication is the prayer of
-
crying out. OK, now we saw there it said
-
prayer and supplication. Supplication is a quality or
-
character of prayer. OK, got it.
-
So something is added to the prayer, the tone, the heart.
-
That makes it a prayer of crying out supplication.
-
Definition. Is this a noun?
-
The action of asking, the action, the action.
-
So you can't supplicate passively.
-
You can't supplicate with no action.
-
You can't supplicate with no involvement.
-
The action of asking or praying or imploring for something
-
earnestly or humbly. He fell to his knees and
-
supplication is an example of that.
-
So supplication is this earnest humble cry.
-
Humble does not mean I'm ugly, I'm unworthy.
-
Humble means God. I know you can.
-
I know you've promised. I've seen it before, and I'm
-
just going to stand until I see it again.
-
Right now, that's really being humble.
-
I know who you are, and I'm not going to expect of you less than
-
what I know I'm not going to believe below the potential of
-
what you show me you can be. That's disrespecting you.
-
I'm going to honor you by standing boldly and believing
-
you're going to be everything you said you can be and do
-
everything you said you can do. That's a humble posture, OK
-
Supplication. Is that praying and pouring for
-
something earnestly or humbly? It's something that comes from
-
your core. Now it's important to understand
-
this, and I said this before, supplication, it can't involve
-
the cry out. Can have volume or not.
-
OK, what does volume do? Volume focuses you, right?
-
So here's an example. Was it a good example last time?
-
OK, do this example. So I want you to just begin the
-
prayer prayer Thanksgiving. Just begin to thank God for you
-
few things. And as you're thanking God, I
-
want you just to kind of let your mind see if you can go to
-
think about sports or something else.
-
Are you thanking God? OK, just practice.
-
So just verbally begin to thank God.
-
God, I thank you for what you're doing in my life.
-
I thank you for how you're working.
-
I thank you. Now you see how we just thanking
-
God in that tone, OK, how your mind can drift different places,
-
right? You're thanking God, but there's
-
a there's a space where you can move to distract it right now.
-
I want you to thank God with a cry.
-
God, I thank you for what you're doing in my life and try to
-
think about something different. Try God, I thank you for what
-
you're doing in my life. I thank you that you're here.
-
I. Thank you for your power.
-
You see, when you when you elevate your voice like that,
-
it's almost impossible to think about anything else.
-
See the, the, the power of volume is that brings focus
-
because you can't elevate volume like that unless your whole body
-
constricts. For all you athletic people in
-
the house, Bianca on the front row, you engage your core,
-
right? It's a core thing, right?
-
And so from that standpoint, volume in a cry out can help
-
focus you to the point where your soul is focused on this
-
thing and not distracted by 100 different other things.
-
Jesus said this to the blind man.
-
What do you want? Tell me what you want, right?
-
What's the come on man, What's the one thing you want?
-
Don't come in asking me. I know I did.
-
I didn't do it. Don't come from me.
-
You know, asking a bunch of different things.
-
Tell me what you what do you want?
-
Right? It has that focus to it now.
-
A cry out can be a softer tone too as well.
-
I'm going to give you a cry out shout out to Pastor Terrence
-
when his grandmother had given Uncle Willie.
-
He was on crack at the time. Lord, to give me over to you.
-
She's at the sink. God, I know that you are with my
-
son. This addiction is not unto
-
death. Because I know your faith, I
-
know what you can do. You brought me out then you
-
brought my family out. You brought my, my, my, my
-
people out. You brought my church out.
-
I know what you can do. And I'm telling you God, I'm
-
standing until I see it because I know you're the God that can
-
do it and you will do it for me. So much so it's already done in
-
my sight. Now, my volume wasn't raised,
-
but you see the cry that's there.
-
OK. And sometimes you don't even
-
need words to cry. We were singing that song
-
earlier. I wasn't singing it.
-
Y'all singing it. Oh, remember the song?
-
That part? Remember the song?
-
We sing a whole bunch of songs. Oh, right, that's all right.
-
That's a cry. That's a cry.
-
Oh, let's see, now you this way. Now you can sing it like it's
-
cute. Oh, oh, oh, oh, right.
-
You can sing it like it's cute, OK?
-
Or you can cry it out. I'm saying I'm doing an example.
-
I'm going on the edge here, OK? I want y'all to come up here.
-
Laura and Anna Beth. OK.
-
OK. Now, Anna Beth, I want you to
-
get your microphone. We're going to the fight.
-
Coach, I left my gun at home. Bring your microphone.
-
Your microphone. OK.
-
So good. What?
-
It's all right. Come over here.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Come over here. I want Anna here.
-
Laura. I want you over here and over
-
here. Laura over here.
-
OK. Right.
-
Good, good, good, good. Go, go.
-
Right now. I want you to sing.
-
Oh, it can be soft. It can be just sweet.
-
Just. Oh, go ahead.
-
OK. So.
-
So. No.
-
Sorry. I'm gonna let you rest.
-
I may need you later. So who going?
-
Who going to step up? I'm glad somebody hungry.
-
I'm glad somebody hungry. Want to come up?
-
Come on, CC. That's alright.
-
You a good job. OK.
-
She can help you. I can do it together.
-
OK, They gonna sing a pretty nice sing a pretty nice.
-
Ready. Oh, make it sound like
-
beautiful. That's beautiful, isn't it?
-
That's that a cry. OK, I'm telling you.
-
That's not a cry. OK?
-
I'm just telling you. Right.
-
Because she's singing. It won't make any sense.
-
She's singing it. OK, now, now, now, Laura, I want
-
you to cry. Oh, can you do that?
-
Don't matter. See, that's that's a good
-
question, though. This is important.
-
Cry don't care about key because the crying about harmony.
-
It's about my God and me. I knew I pick right?
-
You see what I'm? Saying OK, and I'm going to tell
-
you this the truth and this is facts when she begin to cry.
-
She sets the key. They will find her wherever she
-
is. When you begin to ground to God
-
and whatever key of desperation, whatever key of hopelessness,
-
whatever key of who he is, heaven will find you and they
-
will back you up. They will calm you, they will
-
get in rhythm with you. They'll put the face in with
-
you. They'll find you and make it
-
look like the key with your idea.
-
OK, I just want you to cry out. Get this crowd.
-
Old come on deeper. Your husband's in trouble and
-
your cry is getting improved. Yeah.
-
Oh. Thank you.
-
What's that signal? Like this?
-
OK, good. Don't mind.
-
You see the difference? An old can.
-
Be a cry. Let me tell you a cry.
-
Here's a cry of a mother's old when she's in a bed when she's
-
in A room. Trying to deliver.
-
A child and she's got news that one of them has passed away in
-
utero and the other one is fighting for their life and it's
-
time now to give birth and deliver.
-
Cry that. Mom and pushing oh oh that's a
-
cry. See O can be a.
-
Cry. It's not about necessarily how
-
literate. The more of the Word of God you
-
have in you, the more of your cry will line up with the Word.
-
So you need the word in you, OK. That's why when people are
-
pregnant, see who's having these babies.
-
She was, she was really having them, but I was there.
-
She was having these babies. There were some women within
-
labor. Their cry was a cuss because a
-
cuss. Was in them you mother, but why
-
did you ever I'm a dinner, but that was their cry.
-
Her cry. Was oh God, because that's what
-
was in it. OK.
-
When you put the. Word in you.
-
You're preparing you for your cry.
-
OK, but even if the. But but it's more important that
-
you do cry. Don't wait to cry when you need
-
to cry. Because God's.
-
Grace has a way of bringing it all together.
-
Amen. So the cry y'all did a great job
-
on that music team. Supplication is a cry, a prayer
-
that cries out. Supplication cries out
-
reverence. Whenever you're.
-
Crying out of supplication, you have a reverence for God, an
-
honor for who he is. OK.
-
Fog is fear. Of God, and there's a fear of
-
God as you're crying out. The informality of your cry is
-
not a disrespect to the reality of God's presence, because
-
there's a reverence. That's there.
-
Even as you become undone in His presence, supplication cries out
-
history. God, I know what?
-
You've done. I know how you've delivered us
-
in the past. You're the God of Abraham, the
-
God of ancient Isaac, the God of Jacob, God of Josh, the God of
-
grace, the God of Caleb. I'm crying out to the God I
-
know, the God of Mary and the God of Joseph and the God of
-
Moses. Supplication.
-
Cries out history, reminding you, reflecting you, that God, I
-
know what you've done. I've been tracking you through
-
the years. You ready and from generation to
-
generation, you got a history of being God.
-
Cries out history, cries out supplication, cries out big.
-
A crab. Supplication is something more.
-
Than just I need ketchup for my French fries.
-
You cry for. Ketchup for your French fries
-
and Monzo. 'S they call the police on you?
-
Oh, I. Need ketchup for my fry.
-
Oh. Sir, are you OK?
-
Right. You got to cry for something.
-
Big generational stuff, big stuff, bigger than you stuff.
-
That's when the supplication comes in, because why would you
-
have a big guy show up to take care of a small task?
-
He come in with. Everything.
-
So when you cry. And when you cry, it's an
-
emergency response. So when he comes with urgency,
-
your cry, he comes with his bigness.
-
So give him something to employ his bigness with.
-
Have a cry that's bigger than you.
-
Supplication. Cries out big supplication,
-
cries out generations. That's an example of something
-
bigger than you cry out for the generations around you and the
-
generations to come. Supplication cries out undone.
-
A supplication is a place where you get to the point of just
-
being just undone. What's undone?
-
My perceptions, I'm throwing them to the ground.
-
How I look, don't care. It doesn't matter, right?
-
And some of your undone. This is not God doing, not
-
undone you. Some of your undone.
-
This has to come from you undone yourself.
-
I'm tired of. Folk keep being concerned about
-
folks. Think about when I'm crying out
-
to God. You don't understand.
-
I need him in this moment. I don't care what you how you
-
look to me. You know one of the.
-
Greatest ministries we have in this church is the Cover the
-
Earth ministry. You know what cover the Earth
-
ministry is? That's the blanket, people.
-
OK. Right.
-
There's a lot of reasons for that, but here's one thing.
-
I think it's powerful what it says to people.
-
You go get undone. We'll cover you if anything gets
-
out of order. You don't have to be concerned
-
even about protecting yourself. We got you.
-
You just go and you get undone before God.
-
You cry out to God and don't even let how you look or fact,
-
you didn't think about how you was dressed today.
-
You didn't dress for a cry out. You dress for a cute out, not a
-
cry out. So when you get down on the
-
altar, you'd be like all. This.
-
Don't worry, we got you. Cry out anyway.
-
Cry. Supplication cries out undone.
-
Supplication cries out strength. God, I know you're strong, and
-
because you're strong, I know I can be stronger than I seen.
-
Supplication. Cries out strength even when you
-
weep, you can cry out strength. The Bible says, let the weak say
-
I'm what? When you weak cry, strong
-
supplication cries out peace, even though you're.
-
Crying out there's a peace that's anchoring you.
-
You ever seen a singer cry or something and they standing here
-
like this? And they just like.
-
Releasing something, man, and they move what?
-
That's that's a piece. I am.
-
Coming from my core, but I'm anchored in a piece that allows
-
me to have any stress on my body and I can perform the cry.
-
Crying out supplication cries out peace.
-
Supplication cries out sacrifice.
-
What are you willing to? Sacrifice.
-
What are you willing to give up? You want to get to a little bit
-
later? Not right now in Kings First,
-
Kings 8. Solomon was.
-
Crying out for God's blessing on the temple.
-
And it says he was at the altar of sacrifice when he when he
-
began to cry and after he finished his supplication and
-
his prayer, he offered a thousands of animals of
-
sacrifice in support of the cry that he made.
-
God, I'm putting worth into this thing, not just lip service.
-
Cry for us. That's part of what our offering
-
compel is about our Remnant project.
-
It's not just a. Cry.
-
But it's a supplication. It's a sacrifice to match your
-
cry. If you cry for your city, you
-
have an opportunity to sow into a sacrifice that causes God to
-
match up your cry with your sacrifice and move forward in
-
greater way in your city. Supplication cries out clearly.
-
Everyone say clearly. Now.
-
If someone is crying on supplication, what does that
-
mean? It's clearly they're crying out.
-
You don't ever see somebody like, are they crying out?
-
I don't know what they're crying out.
-
Don't look. I'm not sure where they're
-
crying out. When someone's really crying
-
out, you're like, man, they're crying out.
-
No, they're. Crying out what?
-
You doing? They laughing all bro?
-
They crying out, They're crying out.
-
It's clear man. Don't get now I ain't confused.
-
It's nothing else but crying out.
-
Crying out is supplication, cries out clearly, right?
-
So this ought to be a clear distinction, a clear
-
demarcation. And again, it's not always about
-
volume. But it's about.
-
This singularness coming from your soul.
-
From your, from the core of who you are.
-
First Kings. 8 says this Solomon, supplication for God's
-
house. First Kings. 8 Verse 28 This is
-
Solomon. Yeah.
-
Graciously consider the prayer and supplication of your
-
servant, O Lord my God, to hearken to the loud, crying
-
prayer which he praised before you today.
-
So how many of us really read it that way?
-
O Lord my God, graciously consider the prayer and
-
supplication of your servant, O Lord my God, to hearken to the
-
loud, crying prayer which he praised before you.
-
That's how we read it. But what does he say?
-
He says he's offering supplication like it's not
-
always about volume, but sometimes they help you picture
-
the fullness of it. There's the earnestness of it,
-
right? Yet graciously consider the
-
prayer and supplication of your servant.
-
O Lord my God, hearken to the loud cry.
-
Hearken to the prayer. You see the investment that's
-
being made in the midst of that OK, which he prays before you
-
today that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day.
-
He's not crying out. For him, he's crying out for the
-
house. Whatever goes on here, God,
-
watch over it. Whatever's happening, whatever's
-
coming from here, God. Toward the.
-
Place of which you have said my name and the token of my
-
presence shall be there so that you may hearken to the prayer
-
which your servant shall make in or facing toward this place.
-
And that's the key to facing toward what Solomon is praying
-
here. He is praying God.
-
I am crying out that this place will be a place.
-
That's such a. Touch point for your presence
-
and for your glory that whenever people look to the place, you
-
hear why is it important? Use the worship center, for
-
example. They're going to be people on
-
these balconies. Whose lives are?
-
In turmoil or who? People who forget about turmoil.
-
Not just turmoil, but people like man, I want to do what was
-
right for my life. It's not like something.
-
Bad, they consider, but it's weighty.
-
But there'll be people out there considering heavy things and.
-
They're not thinking. About Jesus, God of Christ,
-
think about this building right here.
-
OK, I think about all the balconies that face the
-
building. What?
-
Solomon. Is saying when they come out on
-
their balcony they may not even know they're facing the church
-
but because they're facing toward it hear their cries of
-
desperation, forgive their sin, lift their heaviness, get
-
involved in their lives even if they're not calling on your
-
name, but solely because they're faced towards the place that you
-
call home. That's what this.
-
That's what Solomon's praying, that that would be a touch point
-
for the Kingdom, and that's our prayer.
-
So that's and and Solomon goes on to pray these kinds of things
-
and supplication. God, I'm crying out.
-
That this place would be such that when sinners see it and
-
come by, their sins are forgiven.
-
Then when the heavens are shut up and there's no rain, that
-
rain will come. Then when we sin and come
-
against you, you will forgive us and get our hearts turned
-
towards you. He's.
-
Crying. Out not just for him.
-
And he says this in one other verse.
-
He says this, you don't have to go there.
-
He says this. And God, I'm crying out that
-
according to my father's David's prayer, that you.
-
Would have someone to sit on my throne or David's throne
-
forever. You.
-
See How generational. That is, now you know who the
-
answer is to that prayer. Jesus is the.
-
Answer to that prayer. Jesus is the one who sits on the
-
seat of David, the throne of David, and reigns as king
-
forever. That cry from that day has been
-
reverberating all the way to Jesus's time and even to this
-
day. So that was that was Solomon's
-
cry for his house at the end of our time today.
-
Why don't we take a couple minutes?
-
I was. Going to do it at the end we're.
-
Going to do it right now. We're going to spend a couple
-
minutes crying out to God for our house.
-
I've already given you examples of what it means to cry out for
-
what a God can do in the church. That is seeing it and hearing it
-
and standing with it. Whatever it is, God, let people
-
be blessed. I've already given you examples
-
for that. I've already given you a witness
-
to cry. Out for what?
-
God. Needs to be doing and fulfilling
-
everything that he needs to do in in the in the worship center
-
got about 7085 thousand left with this next phase when this
-
faith is complete, then we have the wire and the lights complete
-
and we're that much closer to moving in the space.
-
The work is. Continuing because of the
-
faithfulness of people's response to the cry and heaven's
-
response to people's cry, the work is continuing.
-
Our crime must be God equip us to make sure that the work
-
continues and never stops. So.
-
I want to take a. Couple minutes right now right
-
here and I want you to begin to cry to God for your church for
-
it to be like what Solomon cried out for a place where people can
-
even just turn towards and find God crying for your church that
-
all the resources. Required flows freely and
-
completely so that the work never stops.
-
Speaking a crowd to. God.
-
And isn't that to be? Difficult.
-
Got him crying out that the work never stops, whatever is.
-
Required got him crying out that the work never stops.
-
God, money is required. Let the money flow till the work
-
never stops. If people are required, let
-
people come that the work never stops.
-
If favors required, that favor come, that the work never stops
-
God. If a noise is required, an
-
annoyed ye come, that the work never stops.
-
If revelation is required, that revelation come, that revelation
-
that that the work never stops. If soul is required, If
-
sacrifice is required, If all night prayers require God, let
-
it come so that the work never stops, that the glory never
-
stops, that the Kingdom never stops, that salvation never
-
stops, that deliverance never stops, that people's lives
-
transformation never stops. God, we're crying out to your
-
God. We're crying out.
-
To you, O Lord, with all that we have, with all that we are.
-
With our heart. And soul God, we're crying out
-
to you, O God. God, we're crying out to you, O
-
Lord, we're crying out to you, O God, let your presence rest upon
-
this place. Let our people be a people that
-
can allow your presence to rest in a way that people can see in
-
him and and be encouraged by it. God, let our your presence be on
-
this place. Then you can send addicts to
-
walk by and get delivered. You can send those who are
-
seeking to walk by and get home. God, we're crying out that your
-
anointing would be on this place.
-
Your presence and your power would be on the place.
-
Thank. You Lord, we thank you, Lord
-
God. The work never.
-
Stops the work never stops The work never stops The work never
-
stops. The work never stops the work
-
never stops. The gates of hell never prevail.
-
God, we're crying out for the power and the anointing, knowing
-
that who you are that the gates won't prevail and the work will
-
never stop. The work of reconciliation never
-
stops. The work God of discipleship
-
never stops. The work on the.
-
Buildings never stop. The work of renovation never
-
stops. God.
-
We're crying out to you, God, because you're a God that knows
-
how to continue the work from generation to generation.
-
God. We cry out to you, O Lord, Amen.
-
Amen, Amen. Amen.
-
Amen. Cry out, cry out, cry out, cry
-
out to the Lord we cry. Out.
-
We cry out, We cry out to you, love, faithful you've been from
-
generation to generation. We offer up our prayer, God and
-
our supplication. We pour our spirit and our souls
-
out. Unto you, oh God.
-
We cry, we cry and you answer with power, with fire, with
-
glory. God form on heart, you answer.
-
God, you cure our cry. You hearken to the.
-
Cry of your people, the cry of your sons and your daughters you
-
hear I cry with Thanksgiving I cry God, I sacrifice we thank
-
you God. Whatever sacrifice is required,
-
you equip us to sacrifice, so the work never stops.
-
The. Work never stops.
-
The work never stops. That forgiveness will forgive
-
sin, so the work never stops. The deliverance was set to
-
Captains free. So the work never stops.
-
That it never stops. That it never stops.
-
That it never stops God, that it never stops That it never stops
-
that the work never stops. That the work never stops.
-
Increase to increase glory to glory, faith to faith.
-
God. We're crying out that the work
-
in the family never stops. The work in the.
-
City never stops. Amen.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
Hey, man, you can have a seat. We'd have a chance to activate a
-
little bit more later, but you know, you can sing your cry if
-
you want to. There's some places that are the
-
sun cry can go that a the vibration of a sun cry can reach
-
levels. OK.
-
That that a. Vocal cry can't.
-
It's just something about the IT can climb different places.
-
You can sing you're. Crying man.
-
So that's Old Testament. Same God, though God ain't Old
-
Testament. The Testament's old not God.
-
Same God when we go to John 11 and we see Jesus supplication
-
for resurrection. So this is a new.
-
Testament version of a crowd. And the great thing is too, is
-
he gives us a great example of it.
-
John 1130. Those are the verses that I want
-
you to pull up. See him on the screen 113235 S
-
Here's the here's the story. Lazarus has died.
-
Jesus has stayed where he was in Bethany and, and now he's dead
-
and they say he stinks and all that kind of stuff.
-
He goes to the place. OK, He goes to the place in
-
response as led by the Spirit when Mary reached the place
-
where Jesus wasn't Jesus, not in the city.
-
He's outside where the tomb is. When Mary.
-
Reached the place where Jesus was in Psalm.
-
She fell at his feet and said, Lord, if you had been here, my
-
brother would not have died. When Jesus saw her weeping and
-
the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply
-
moved in spirit and troubled. What does a cry come from deep
-
within? He's already beginning to cry
-
out, His spirits already beginning to cry out, and God
-
can hear the cry of your soul. Even when you don't have.
-
Words to say He made it that way.
-
Where have you laid him? He asked.
-
Come and see, Lord, they replied.
-
Jesus wept. You think his soul's in this?
-
This is the. Supplication.
-
He's, he's offering up right now because right before that he
-
talks about being the resurrection and the life.
-
So he's doing more than crying out for Lazarus to be raised.
-
He's feeling this stirring of resurrection that he knows is
-
certain to come. So this cry for Lazarus
-
connected to a cry for another age to see the resurrection,
-
realizing you and me and everybody else, because when he
-
comes, he only comes to do big things.
-
Jesus wept, set in on that. Jesus wept.
-
He's crying out. And then verse 43 to 44 and when
-
he had said this, some other things happened.
-
We said this. Jesus called in a loud voice.
-
Remember what a cry is. And a loud.
-
Voice Lazarus. Come out.
-
He's now vocalizing the cry of his soul, the volume and the
-
certainty and the determination is being released in this in
-
this declaration to Lazarus his. Soul has erupted like a volcano.
-
It's a Lazarus come out. That's the cry of.
-
That's the supplication. We're talking about prayer and
-
supplication. The dead man came out.
-
His hands and. Feet wrapped with strips of
-
linen and a cloth around his face.
-
And Jesus said to them, take off the grave clothes and let them
-
go. How many of y'all read it that
-
way? So you think he's?
-
Going from being troubled in spirit.
-
To saying. Lie, the rest come out.
-
I'll take the growth clothes off now, OK?
-
You really think that's what he's doing?
-
He's crying out beyond. The resurrection to the freedom.
-
His cry wasn't for me to be born again.
-
His cry was for him to be free. It wasn't to get out of the
-
grave. His freedom.
-
Lazarus come. Forth.
-
Take off the. Grave clothes and let him go.
-
Who's he talking to? Who's he saying?
-
Let him go, Come on now. Get your prophetic imaginations
-
going. I'm not going to step over the
-
line here. Who's who's he talking to?
-
The people. Who's he talking to?
-
Death. Let him.
-
Go, I told you. Don't you come?
-
Back and try to visit his house. He's crying.
-
Out. And why was that cry important
-
for him? Because later on you'll see
-
people try to kill Lazarus again.
-
Stupid. I get it, he did raise him.
-
I don't. But he's saying something to his
-
life. Cry out.
-
Supplication is the crowd for prayer.
-
Now I want to go to our last example.
-
We're going to close with this in John 17 after Jesus said
-
this. If you.
-
Look toward heaven and prayed Father, the hour has come.
-
Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
-
Now, now, now, I would, I would say to you that this is a
-
supplication. You may read it like a prayer or
-
bedtime story, but I would say it's a supplication when you
-
understand what he's praying about.
-
OK. See, he's know he's going to the
-
cross. He know his time is finishing.
-
He knows this may be the last prayer that I will pray in any
-
significance in this context because I have to be quiet after
-
this. OK, you got it.
-
He understands what's happening here and he understands God's
-
answer to this prayer is the central linchpin for us and the
-
world getting saved. When you would see the context
-
of the prayer without God answering this prayer, you're
-
not going to heaven when you really understand the context of
-
it. OK.
-
And how you why you think it's a cry out too?
-
Because he moves from this to the garden.
-
And in the garden it says he was praying with such intensity to
-
the point he was sweating blood. That's more to.
-
Me like a cry out than a like a thank you Lord.
-
Got it. So he's already.
-
His spirit's already ready. You saw how his.
-
Spirit moved in Lazarus, resurrection and freedom.
-
What you think is kicking in here, but that same thing.
-
You're like, I finished. Talking to y'all now it's time
-
for me to get ready. In the same way his spirit was
-
troubled with Lazarus time. His spirit is.
-
Being troubled, Trouble not in Vadnais.
-
Being stirred up. Right.
-
Same thing because he's moving towards the resurrection of you
-
and I. He's not just crying out to make
-
it through the death, he's crying out through the
-
resurrection and for us to be in same species that he is.
-
Far after. Jesus said this he looked toward
-
heaven and prayed, I'll say cried out Father, the time has
-
come, glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you now.
-
I don't know he was doing it this way.
-
Father the. Time has come.
-
I don't know that he. Was doing that but when a man is
-
facing his death in the separation from the only father
-
that you knew you knew he's focused.
-
So it's coming from here and you've got Lazarus example to
-
show you he's coming from here. Father, the hour has come.
-
Glorify your son that your son may glorify you for you have
-
granted him authority over all people that he might give
-
eternal life to all those you have given him.
-
Now this is eternal life, that they may know you.
-
The only true God that Jesus in Jesus Christ, when you have
-
sinned, I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work
-
you gave me to do and now, father, glorify me in your
-
presence with the glory I had with you before the.
-
World began. I have revealed you to those you
-
gave me out of the world. They were yours.
-
And you gave them to me, and they've obeyed your word.
-
He's crying out his faithfulness to God.
-
He's crying out. I understood the assignment.
-
He's crying out to God. God, I have.
-
Nothing left. Sometimes.
-
Supplication is accompanied with people being on their knees.
-
Knees is an act of humility, right?
-
But but on your knees is also a kind of an act of God.
-
I have no more strength. I am pouring.
-
Out my heart and my soul and my spirit to the point where I have
-
no tears, I have no strength, and I don't even have an ability
-
to hold my own weight. For all of my strength, it's
-
been released into my prayer unto you.
-
Oh God, I'm crying out, not just for your answer to my prayer,
-
but for the very strength I need to continue, get up and go
-
another day. Cry out is.
-
Point out that way and you see Jesus do it.
-
Saying this, I want to go down to verse 20.
-
Yeah, I'm going to. Verse 20 Now before this, Jesus
-
is praying for protection for them.
-
They're faithfulness to the call because he understands if they
-
falter, the mission is undone. I'm not saying God wouldn't find
-
a way because God's omnipotent. What I'm saying is the plan he
-
had is dependent on these 12 and he's crying out God in this
-
moment where I have to leave, I need you to be there with him to
-
finish the work and carry it on because I'm not going to be
-
there with him. And their work is not just about
-
them and the nations around. It's about all those are going
-
to believe on Him because of believe on me because of their
-
word. Verse 20.
-
My prayer is not for them alone. I also pray for all those who
-
believe in me through their message that all of them may be
-
one. Father, just as you are in me
-
and I am in you, may they also be in us that the world may
-
believe that you sent me. Listen to this cry Father.
-
I'm praying for those that are going to believe on me because
-
of their message. God, I want all of them.
-
To be 1, he ain't praying. About building big churches.
-
He ain't praying about enemies, he praying about those he's been
-
called to and. He's praying one thing.
-
He's not praying. That they read the Bible?
-
Easy. He's praying.
-
God that they be. 1. A.
-
Supplication A crime prayer of supplication is focused.
-
They be. 1 that they would know. You love them the way you love
-
me. That we would be one God.
-
I'm crying out, God, God, they're going to face
-
difficulty. Make them remember this.
-
They're going to face persecution.
-
Remind them that you love them as much as you love me in the
-
midst of it. That's Jesus.
-
That's what Jesus is praying here.
-
I've given them the glory, verse 22.
-
I've given them the glory you gave me, that they may be one as
-
we are one. His earnest cry is for us to be
-
1 together, as the Father in Jesus is 1.
-
I. In them and you in me.
-
So he's not even. Saying that we may be 1 as the
-
Father in Jesus as one, but since he's in us, that means all
-
of us together as one being in one.
-
That's his earnest cry. That's his.
-
Supplication in this moment. That's his.
-
Thing. You know.
-
I've never said this. I never saw this.
-
I. Don't Jesus.
-
Was talking about not my will but your will be done in the
-
garden. I wouldn't be surprised if he
-
had some of this on his mind to the point of shedding blood.
-
He's he's still in that space of his spirit and soul, being more
-
concerned about the unity of the people he's ministered to and us
-
being the one with him than anything else.
-
Amen. So Jesus cried out for the
-
Father, for us. I want to take a.
-
Moment to activate this let's enter into some prayer and
-
supplication for what Jesus prayed for unity among our
-
family that we in this house will be 1 the way your father in
-
Jesus is one that we wouldn't know in this house that God
-
loves us. As much as.
-
God the Father loves Jesus. You don't have to wait for a
-
cue. You can begin to cry.
-
No one in the movie tells you when to cry.
-
Do that. You just cry when it hits you.
-
Father, we're crying. Out to you, O Godfather.
-
We're crying out. We're crying out to you, Lord.
-
Crying out. See Unity Matters.
-
Jesus is. Saying this is the most
-
important thing to me, this is the most.
-
If it don't matter to you, it matters to your Jesus that much.
-
Love your Jesus enough to cry out for what matters to him.
-
Father, we thank. You and I'm encourage you to
-
change your posture. If you've been sitting, I'm
-
encourage you to stand up. If you've been standing, I'm
-
encourage you to lift your hands or encourage you to get on your
-
knees. Change your posture to position
-
yourself more deeply and centrally on crying out to God
-
in this moment. Father, we're crying out to be
-
the answer to the prayer that Jesus prayed God.
-
We're crying out to see that answer in our church and our
-
life in this generation that we in this church will be one.
-
We in this church will be one that we in this body would be 1.
-
That we that. Believed on your word through
-
through those 12 will be one God.
-
We need unity more than the air we breathe.
-
We need this oneness God more than our necessary food God.
-
We're crying out for that unity through sin.
-
Through. Death through doctrino
-
difficulties and and separations.
-
God, we're crying out for unity. We're crying out for oneness.
-
Oh God, God, we're crying out to know the love of God, for us to
-
know the love of God, to know that you love us as much as you
-
love Jesus. One US.
-
And you, you and us, your Word, and us, the Lord and us, we're
-
crying out, God to live that out.
-
We're crying out to live it out of the way that the world can
-
see. Knowing this.
-
They'll see that knowing that we're in unity.
-
They'll see your power knowing that we're in love.
-
They'll see. Of Jesus as Savior and Lord and
-
Christ. God, we're crying out.
-
We're crying out, we're crying out, we're crying out, we're
-
crying out, we're crying out, we're crying out God, we're
-
crying out God, God, we're crying out to you if.
-
You're being. Quiet next 30 seconds.
-
Elevate your voice. Come on.
-
Man, we need the voice of man. Man, we need your voice.
-
Louder than when you're cussing, Louder than when you're cheering
-
for a football team. We need your voice.
-
Come on, man. We need your voice to cry out.
-
Cry out. Men like life depends on it.
-
Cry out, men. Make your pride down.
-
Make your pride down to cry out. Father, we thank.
-
You for breakthrough in the. Cries of men and we thank you
-
Father, You make us a house that cries out.
-
To the Lord. A house that cries out to you,
-
we thank you Lord, in Jesus name we cry out.
-
We. Cry out.
-
We. Cry.
-
Out knowing that you've done it, confident that it's sure.
-
We are the answer to that prayer.
-
We are the answer to that prayer.
-
Our church is is an example of the answer to that prayer.
-
And we're not the only example. We're crying out for all of the
-
churches in our city, all of the churches in our province, that
-
we together would be the answer to that prayer.
-
That sin would derail us. Doctrine would derail us.
-
Difficulty wouldn't derail us. Bitterness wouldn't derail us.
-
Distraction wouldn't derail us. Comforts of this life won't
-
derail us. Oh God, do you hear our cry?
-
Now we're crying out, Father, you said.
-
Supplication cries big and bold. We're crying out.
-
God Solomon prayed a prayer for his church house.
-
We pray that. Prayer, first of all, on the new
-
temple, which is us, because you live in US.
-
Let it. Be that your presence will rest
-
on us, that when people turn toward us, sins get forgiven.
-
People turn toward us. They find hope.
-
People turn toward us. People walk past us.
-
Addiction breaks God. Let us be physically.
-
Let us be, as your people, an answer to the prayer of Solomon.
-
And father, let us be as a church with our space and our
-
worship center, be an answer to that prayer.
-
You did it for Solomon. Grace us to do it here.
-
God again, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, Thank you,
-
Lord. Amen.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
Inspect the. Reverence of of that moment.
-
Give me the. Amen.
-
I could have a seat. You have a seat.
-
So you can cry out anytime you want to.
-
And the great thing about this crying out, you don't have to be
-
emotional, but you just have to be moved.
-
So whenever the word moves you, you can cry out.
-
Are you ready? Or whenever you move the word to
-
move you, you can cry out. Whenever you go to the word,
-
there's always movement in the word, both the written word and
-
Jesus the living Word. Whenever you go to them, they
-
can move you to cry out. I'm going to do pray for me PDL.
-
I just get a sense it's the people here that are confused.
-
And they're just in the. Midst of confused like a fog and
-
their confusion is paralyzing them.
-
OK, I don't know who who that is per SE.
-
Why? Don't we per SE them?
-
I don't know, but if that's you, I'm going to ask you if you
-
could just raise your hand. You're feeling confused.
-
OK, raise your hand high, right? Paul says.
-
I will boast in my weakness because then God's grace is my
-
strength. OK.
-
Confused. Confused.
-
Anybody else? OK.
-
Here's here's what I want you to do.
-
I want you, first of all, to stand up.
-
Why stand up? Because part of what keeps
-
people confused confuses trying to bind you to stay in the same
-
place. So once you begin to move, you
-
automatically, now confusion is confused.
-
Uh oh, we weren't doing this. What are we doing?
-
What are we doing? What are we doing?
-
Right? So the first step is I just want
-
you to stand up. Stand up.
-
If that's you, OK? And ain't no shame of being
-
confused. That's what families.
-
With the house is for. Amen.
-
OK, now why is standing up important?
-
Because in standing up you get a better views.
-
It's sometimes confusing because you're looking in the looking in
-
low places. So standing up is like, God, I'm
-
going to get your perspective on this now.
-
It's just like a. Prophetic activation.
-
Right. I'm rising above the clouds, I'm
-
rising above the confusion. I'm just going to stand up to be
-
in clarity. You, man.
-
Now confusion can lead to depression, despair.
-
It can lead you to be a zombie or Walking Dead, just walking
-
through life. It can lead you to kind of
-
duplicate just nothingness and the people around you, they get
-
complacent and do nothing. Confusion can even lead to
-
people wanting to kill themselves.
-
Right. Confusion's a big deal.
-
That's what I'm saying, right? So we're going to pray for
-
y'all, OK? And that's what you to receive
-
this prayer. We're going to pray for y'all.
-
So everyone who didn't have their hand raised, that's not
-
standing up. This is my sister here.
-
This is my sister. That's my brother that's showing
-
off my brother over there. This is my family.
-
Could you do me a favor? And help.
-
Me cry out for my family now they can be yours too.
-
They can be yours. Too, and I hope they are, but
-
even if that's. Not enough to move you to cry
-
out. I'm going.
-
To ask that you can you hear me crying for my, for our family
-
you're speaking to cry over half of them.
-
Father, we're canceling confusion.
-
God, we're crying out that confusion will be cancelled.
-
But crying. Out that confusion will be
-
cancelled in Jesus name. Father, we're crying out now.
-
Confusion you've got to break. Confusion of mind, confusion of
-
purpose, confusion of soul, confusion in every way you've
-
got to break. In Jesus name, God, Your word is
-
a light, Your word is a lamp. Spirit, You bring clarity, You
-
bring truth, You bring direction.
-
Holy Spirit, you come. Father, we're crying out of
-
supplication. God, we're crying out for them.
-
We're crying out for them, God, Confusion, pray, clarity come.
-
Confusion break. Clarity come.
-
Confusion, pray, clarity. Come.
-
Clarity and. Relationship clarity and you
-
play with with you, God and the Father.
-
Yeah. Father, thank you.
-
Your word, send in your word to bring clarity.
-
You send in your spirit to bring clarity.
-
Your grace is going to bring clarity.
-
Your, your patience is going to be clarity.
-
Yes, God, clarity's coming. You're sending clarity to their
-
house. Clarity, clarity, clarity,
-
clarity, clarity. Clarity.
-
Freedom from confusion and clarity's coming.
-
Amen and Father we're. Praying for all of those they're
-
going to. Believe on you because of the
-
testimony of their word, of how confusion is broken and clarity
-
has come. We pray.
-
For all of those that they will walk in the benefit of what
-
they've seen, they were walking the Jesus that they know.
-
They were walking the fullness, fullness of knowing you.
-
Based. On their.
-
Testimony of their clarity. Amen.
-
Amen. You can never see.
-
I was with a few announcements for you.

two people. Y'all look kind of wild up here
-
to me. We wildly need you.
-
What's going on, Nicole? Oh.
-
The the MIC is wallet. The MIC is wallet.
-
We got it. We got to just there we go.
-
There I am. There I am, church.
-
Are you all ready to be the Church in the Wild?
-
Are you all ready? To be the church in the wild.
-
Oh. That y'all sound real good.
-
Even in worship earlier I felt the fervency, the expectancy, I
-
felt the hunger, the conviction that you know the God that you
-
serve and we want to take that out into the wild.
-
So do y'all want to be the church in the wild?
-
OK, I'm. Going to give you I'm going to
-
sell. I was just setting the stage.
-
Let me tell you how we're going to do that.
-
So starting next week, June 1st to July 6th, we have an
-
opportunity to be the church in the wild.
-
And So what that looks like is our experiences from June 1st to
-
July 6th, we're only going to have the 9:00 AM experience.
-
Keep in mind there's two days, two Sundays, it's June 8th and
-
June 29th that have our little bit.
-
They have a a variable to them. So June 8th is Pentecost Sunday.
-
Say Pentecost Sunday. But it is.
-
Also Ordination Sunday How many events to an ordination
-
experience? It is like.
-
Nothing I have ever experienced before, so please be there.
-
So on that day, June 8th, there will be 3 experiences.
-
There will be the nine, the 12 and a 630 and the 6:30 will be
-
the ordination experience. OK.
-
And then June 29th, the second day that I said to keep in mind
-
that will be all of us going to Vancouver, to our Vancouver hub
-
for a 10 AM experience. OK, so which two dates do we
-
need to keep in mind? June 8th and June 29th, OK, but
-
aside from that, the Sundays from next week to July 6th, we
-
will be only having the 9:00 AM experience.
-
OK, so days about to tell you how we are about to be the
-
church in the wild. We didn't.
-
We didn't. We didn't pick these days by
-
accident. There's stuff coming up because
-
our church is going out to impact the city because what's
-
happening in here needs to spread out across the nation,
-
across the province, across the city.
-
So we going to take what Love Quest is doing and doing it
-
outside. OK, I'm going to get y'all to
-
help me out. So why not say a date?
-
I'm going to say, let's say for example, June 1st.
-
I'm going to say we while in and y'all going to say we while in
-
back and I'm going to tell you how we go while out.
-
OK, so I'm going to say June 1st we what?
-

-
celebrate our pastor releasing an album.
-
That's what I'm talking about. That's going to talk about.

-
We going to make sure that the city knows that there is a cry
-
of joy and there's a cry of love that can be received by
-
everybody. OK, when we go out to these
-
round ball games, we're ministering to the folks who are
-
playing, but also the folks that are watching because they get to
-
see that this can happen while you serve Jesus.
-
They don't have to happen because you're while and now you
-
can happen because you were rooted in the love of Christ and
-
you know that you're happening. OK, so on June 22nd we what?

-
time off, do it now. You've been warned, you've been
-

-
who's like Dang, I missed out. Be there.
-
And this ain't no regular. Show OK, the crew going to be
-

Do y'all see the look at that? Do y'all see the crew right

Terrence Richmond and Lovequest crew show up, show out.
-
Let's support our pastor, let's support the crew and let's bring
-
Lovequest to the city out there. OK?
-
Can we do that? Can we do that for y'all?
-
All right. And then on June 15th, we what?
-
We what? June, July 5th, my apology.
-
My apology. I said a completely different
-
day. July 5th we wallet, we're going
-
to go to Kitsilano Beach and we're going to do baptisms at 10
-
AM. OK, so we get to go show a
-
public declaration of what Jesus is doing in the middle of the
-
city. And I don't know about y'all
-
that gets me excited. I love when baptisms happen
-
here, but doing baptisms outside, I can't imagine what
-
the Lord's going to do. I'm expecting revival,
-
personally. I'm expecting revival.
-
Can y'all expect revival with me?
-
Can y'all expect revival with me?
-
All. Right.
-
And then the. Last thing on July 6th we are
-
what we What if you miss every other date that I just gave you
-
and I know it's a lot but if you miss every other day do not miss
-
July 6th at the Hollywood Theater for the official
-
Mocktails album release concert. Do not miss it.
-
Let me let me tell you why this is so important OK.
-
There is a lot of creativity in this house.
-
There is a lot of art that has to go forth into the culture so
-
that we can help change the culture for Jesus OK and our
-
pastor is taking the first bold step to do so.
-
We're going to a secular space. There's a bar there there's
-
there's people who have sold out that place and they've done it
-
on their own accord and we're going out there trying to do it
-
for Jesus. If we sell this thing out it
-
lets the city know OK, when I see Love Quest name on something
-
I know people will come out and at the end of the day they want
-
their money but we want to see people come to Jesus.
-
So we going to use that money as a bait and we going bring them
-
Jesus afterwards. OK, There's artists coming
-
ahead, there's graphic designers coming ahead, the singers coming
-
again. Our worship team is coming
-
ahead. Our Christmas reduction is
-
coming up. Y'all been to a Christmas
-
reduction before? If we want to make that thing
-
bigger, we got to show the city that it's worth being bigger.
-
And I don't know about y'all. Every time we do something in
-
here, we're like, man, it should see more people should see it.
-
This is our opportunity to do so.
-
So don't slack. Get your tickets, get out there.
-
We'll have the crew, we'll have Terrence Richmond.
-
Scribe Music will be performing. There will be so much happening
-
and there will be more special guests to come.
-
OK, So what are we going to go do?
-
Church. We going to be.
-
What we going to be? What?
-
All right, other John, you got some fuss.
-
We got some first. I just did one.
-
Thing and and I just say this real quick and, and just kind of
-
pray out that's this. One I want.
-
You to put the dates back up. Of the.
-
Right there, OK, It's really important that you connect with
-
these dates, right? Because this is where you get
-
your power in the wild from. You got it.
-
OK, don't go. Don't go June 1st with 9 and 12
-
here. June 8th, 9/12, 6:30 you see the
-
times. Don't try to go out there wild
-
with no juice. The whole purpose is to build a
-
momentum and a unity here that carries with explosiveness out
-
where we're going. Amen.
-
The other part was want to emphasize too is.
-
Cry. Out to the Lord on people you
-
can invite to these, to these opportunities.
-
It's a basketball game. It's a burger joint.
-
Right. It's it it, it's a concert.
-
There are places and people that will come in those spaces that
-
maybe not come in other spaces. And when they encounter the
-
fullness of the love that we have and share, then it becomes
-
that much more powerful. OK, so this is opportunity to
-
reach people, not just have fun, right?
-
So just remember that. And we'd be thinking about
-
people to, to, to bring in for those moments.
-
OK, good. All right, So I'm going to go
-
and pray out, man, man, you know, I thank God that God has a
-
church that we have a sentence about us, right?
-
Then we'll go to where people are in order to try to reach
-
some that may not come to where we are.
-
Father, we thank you for this time.
-
We thank you for what you're doing.
-
We thank you that you're birthing.
-
You've birthed the Spirit, the crowd in our community.
-
It's all manner of prayer. But we are a church that learns
-
and knows how to cry out and supplication unto God.
-
We thank you, Father, that for those that we pray for today,
-
that confusion is destroyed and clarity is calm.
-
And the clarity when the Word and call and ministry and life
-
and decisions has come, Father, and the courage to walk in that
-
clarity has come as well. We thank you, Father, for all
-
that you're doing through them and the people who are here,
-
their testimonies. We're so excited about the
-
opportunity to walk with you in this time.
-
We give you praise and glory for it.
-
Father, the word we received today shall bear hunter for
-
return. None shall be lost in Jesus
-
name, Amen, Amen. Amen, Amen.
-
So you know what time it is until later in Vancouver.
