  1. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

  3. church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

  7. some tea, and get ready to receive.

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

  9. Thank. You, Lord, for the blood of

  10. Jesus and the great sacrifice that he is and he's made for us.

  11. You know, we when you recognize, and this is part of it, when you

  12. recognize that you had absolutely no way to make it.

  13. None, no way. And God, Jesus shed his blood

  14. and that was the only way for you to make it.

  15. You had no way to make it except for that.

  16. Part of the reason it's hard to connect with this song sometimes

  17. is because of God's grace and His mercy.

  18. We think we have a way to make you without the blood because of

  19. His grace and mercy that allows us to get up because of His

  20. grace and His mercy that allows those to cuss His name and to

  21. deny Him. But He still breathed the breath

  22. that they gave to them because of His grace and His mercy.

  23. There's a sense that there's another way you can make it, but

  24. when you come to understand, I don't stand here except for the

  25. blood. I don't jump out of a window of

  26. A7 story building that I lived in at one time.

  27. Except for the blood. I'm not here with hope.

  28. Except for the blood. There's no other way. 0 Thank

  29. you, Lord, for that blood. Thank you team.

  30. That's it. Oh yes, yes, there's certain

  31. songs that hit you a certain kind of way.

  32. What she playing this yes, I mentioned this song first

  33. message and this is the kind of this is the kind of love you

  34. have for people in this house. You can have a seat.

  35. They care enough to listen to you and to really hear you and

  36. see you. We're a house that sees each

  37. other. Now you ask her to play that.

  38. There's a song that says there is a fountain filled with blood

  39. that flows from Emmanuel's veins.

  40. And when sinners plunge beneath the flow, they lose all of their

  41. guilty stains. That's what she's playing right

  42. there. And the great thing about that

  43. song that that that hits me is it's not just forgiving, but you

  44. lose every stain of guilt. You can't find it nowhere.

  45. It's like a shoe with no crease. You can't find it nowhere.

  46. It's like a fitted with no sweat stain.

  47. Can't find it nowhere. You can't find it nowhere.

  48. And I thank God for the blood of Jesus.

  49. It's the blood that's kept me married.

  50. First time I heard that song, my wife and I was in a marriage

  51. conference and a woman stand up and she began to talk about what

  52. the blood of Jesus has done and and they sang this song and it's

  53. been in my heart ever since. Amen.

  54. Pastors, I thank you for an opportunity to to share the word

  55. of God with the people of God and with your people.

  56. You know, you're not just God's people.

  57. You're also pastors Terence, Pastor Julia's people.

  58. Can you change that timer to five?

  59. O please for me 5O50 But you're also past the Terence's people.

  60. Not in a possessive sense that he puts you on a shelf and look,

  61. says everyone look at what I own.

  62. But you're his people. You pass the genius people.

  63. That means when you hurt, they hurt.

  64. When you celebrate, they celebrate with you.

  65. When you see us out front, they're still in the back crying

  66. out to God, even though you may never see them.

  67. They're taking bullets and taking blows, figurative bullets

  68. and blows, so we never have to see them.

  69. You're not just God's people, you're Pastor Terence, Pastor

  70. Julia's people too, because that's how much they love and

  71. they care, and they intercede for you like you're their

  72. people. They defend you like you're

  73. their people with stuff going down with you.

  74. It says no, not with Troy, with me.

  75. So I thank you for the privilege, pastor, of not only

  76. sharing the Word of God, but sharing the Word of God with

  77. God's people and with your people.

  78. And every time I share the Word, my desire is not that I preach

  79. as good as you. I can't not that my slide game

  80. be as good as yours. I'm getting there.

  81. It's competition. But my hope is that I meet the

  82. level to which you love people. And I hope I rise close to the

  83. level to which you desire to impact people and see people

  84. transformed in the way that God gives me to present through the

  85. gifts and the way he made me. And thank you for allowing me to

  86. have that freedom to be me as God's made me.

  87. Amen. Amen.

  88. So we going to go straight today, cry out.

  89. I'm continuing part of the message, adding a little aspect

  90. to it that I have to talk with pastor.

  91. I said, how can I contribute to the message?

  92. How can I contribute to where with the momentum what we're

  93. doing? And he talked about the message

  94. cry out and we talked about maybe talk about it from a

  95. context of prayer And I, you know, I'm all over that.

  96. I'm like, you know, you know what I'm saying?

  97. Stop, Adam. OK.

  98. That was a cupcake I was eating. OK, in the context of prayer.

  99. OK. And so I thought I could add

  100. something to that to help us along the way.

  101. Then the great thing about our pastors is that they don't just

  102. make you hold water. They allow you to advance the

  103. Kingdom. There's a trust there to say,

  104. hey, just don't say something that's just like, it don't

  105. matter. Say something's going to

  106. advance. So when we come back, all of us

  107. have moved forward together. So I thank you for that trust.

  108. Cry out in prayer. The Father's listening, and I

  109. want to talk about it, what it means to cry out.

  110. When you cry out, there's a cry of the soul that all of heaven

  111. and earth responds to. That's the way it's structured,

  112. that when your soul really cries out, you have to get an answer.

  113. When your soul cries out, the Kingdom puts on a stop and

  114. responds. And the key about crying out in

  115. prayer is, is, is to have a cry that comes from your soul, to

  116. have a cry that comes from the depth of you and the essence of

  117. you. There's different kinds of

  118. prayer. It's my belief in understanding

  119. from the Scripture, from life experience, the most consistent

  120. prayer that a believer will pray is the prayer of Thanksgiving

  121. because God, Jesus has already done it all, saved it all,

  122. bought it all, fixed it all, kept it all, graced it all, gave

  123. it all, filled it all, do it all, repaired it all.

  124. He's done it all. So our greatest prayers, thank

  125. you for doing it. That's the prayer we pray most

  126. consistently. And then I think our next

  127. greatest prayer is probably a prayer of declaration, Move, go,

  128. do, be healed, stand up, be encouraged.

  129. You're pointing to something and you're declaring something into

  130. it. That's probably the next second

  131. prayer. Bible says this.

  132. Jesus talked about speak to the mountain.

  133. Even say climb the mountain. That's a great song.

  134. Even say climb the mountain, unless you want exercise and a

  135. different view. But if the mountain in your way

  136. speak to the mountain, it'd be removed, right?

  137. So that the declaration is important.

  138. So there's all kinds of prayer, but there is a prayer that comes

  139. from the cry of your soul. And it's not based on a volume.

  140. It's based on a depth of where it comes from on the deep inside

  141. of you. Philippians 4 says this, Be

  142. careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and

  143. supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known

  144. unto God. Be anxious for nothing, he said.

  145. What the scripture is saying is that there's a place where an

  146. anxiety can hit you, seemingly feel makes you feel like it's

  147. crippling you. There's a response to that

  148. anxiety, and that is prayer and supplication.

  149. Not just prayer, but prayer and supplication.

  150. That when anxiety is shaking your life and vibrating your

  151. life, make screaming so loud at you that you'll never make it.

  152. There's no way you're going to go.

  153. There's no way it's going to happen.

  154. Prayer is great, but when you add supplication to it, it

  155. becomes a cry that's louder than the anxiety that's talking to

  156. you. OK, Prayer and supplication with

  157. Thanksgiving is important because the Thanksgiving is the

  158. confidence that you have that the God to whom you're crying

  159. out to and the thing you're crying out in really is already

  160. done. So I'm never crying out with a

  161. sense of uncertainty. I don't know.

  162. You like that. I practice that.

  163. No, I didn't. No, I didn't.

  164. Adam, my son is actor. I was like, I don't know.

  165. I don't know. I don't know which one I don't

  166. know. OK, first one.

  167. OK, cool. No, no, but it's never like, I

  168. don't know. It's like I know I see what I'm

  169. seeing, but I know, right? The cries out with Thanksgiving.

  170. Let your requests be made known unto God, it says, and the peace

  171. of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your

  172. hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

  173. Through this prayer and supplication in the face of

  174. anxiety, you'll have the peace of God guarding your heart and

  175. mind. It may not change your

  176. circumstances, but it will change your soul and your

  177. perspective to a place where you know you can't be defeated.

  178. You have to understand when you stand up with I can't lose, that

  179. means the game got to bow to you.

  180. If I stand up with AI can't lose, that means someone will

  181. have to change the rules of the game, the competition, because I

  182. can't lose. Supplication is the prayer of

  183. crying out. OK, now we saw there it said

  184. prayer and supplication. Supplication is a quality or

  185. character of prayer. OK, got it.

  186. So something is added to the prayer, the tone, the heart.

  187. That makes it a prayer of crying out supplication.

  188. Definition. Is this a noun?

  189. The action of asking, the action, the action.

  190. So you can't supplicate passively.

  191. You can't supplicate with no action.

  192. You can't supplicate with no involvement.

  193. The action of asking or praying or imploring for something

  194. earnestly or humbly. He fell to his knees and

  195. supplication is an example of that.

  196. So supplication is this earnest humble cry.

  197. Humble does not mean I'm ugly, I'm unworthy.

  198. Humble means God. I know you can.

  199. I know you've promised. I've seen it before, and I'm

  200. just going to stand until I see it again.

  201. Right now, that's really being humble.

  202. I know who you are, and I'm not going to expect of you less than

  203. what I know I'm not going to believe below the potential of

  204. what you show me you can be. That's disrespecting you.

  205. I'm going to honor you by standing boldly and believing

  206. you're going to be everything you said you can be and do

  207. everything you said you can do. That's a humble posture, OK

  208. Supplication. Is that praying and pouring for

  209. something earnestly or humbly? It's something that comes from

  210. your core. Now it's important to understand

  211. this, and I said this before, supplication, it can't involve

  212. the cry out. Can have volume or not.

  213. OK, what does volume do? Volume focuses you, right?

  214. So here's an example. Was it a good example last time?

  215. OK, do this example. So I want you to just begin the

  216. prayer prayer Thanksgiving. Just begin to thank God for you

  217. few things. And as you're thanking God, I

  218. want you just to kind of let your mind see if you can go to

  219. think about sports or something else.

  220. Are you thanking God? OK, just practice.

  221. So just verbally begin to thank God.

  222. God, I thank you for what you're doing in my life.

  223. I thank you for how you're working.

  224. I thank you. Now you see how we just thanking

  225. God in that tone, OK, how your mind can drift different places,

  226. right? You're thanking God, but there's

  227. a there's a space where you can move to distract it right now.

  228. I want you to thank God with a cry.

  229. God, I thank you for what you're doing in my life and try to

  230. think about something different. Try God, I thank you for what

  231. you're doing in my life. I thank you that you're here.

  232. I. Thank you for your power.

  233. You see, when you when you elevate your voice like that,

  234. it's almost impossible to think about anything else.

  235. See the, the, the power of volume is that brings focus

  236. because you can't elevate volume like that unless your whole body

  237. constricts. For all you athletic people in

  238. the house, Bianca on the front row, you engage your core,

  239. right? It's a core thing, right?

  240. And so from that standpoint, volume in a cry out can help

  241. focus you to the point where your soul is focused on this

  242. thing and not distracted by 100 different other things.

  243. Jesus said this to the blind man.

  244. What do you want? Tell me what you want, right?

  245. What's the come on man, What's the one thing you want?

  246. Don't come in asking me. I know I did.

  247. I didn't do it. Don't come from me.

  248. You know, asking a bunch of different things.

  249. Tell me what you what do you want?

  250. Right? It has that focus to it now.

  251. A cry out can be a softer tone too as well.

  252. I'm going to give you a cry out shout out to Pastor Terrence

  253. when his grandmother had given Uncle Willie.

  254. He was on crack at the time. Lord, to give me over to you.

  255. She's at the sink. God, I know that you are with my

  256. son. This addiction is not unto

  257. death. Because I know your faith, I

  258. know what you can do. You brought me out then you

  259. brought my family out. You brought my, my, my, my

  260. people out. You brought my church out.

  261. I know what you can do. And I'm telling you God, I'm

  262. standing until I see it because I know you're the God that can

  263. do it and you will do it for me. So much so it's already done in

  264. my sight. Now, my volume wasn't raised,

  265. but you see the cry that's there.

  266. OK. And sometimes you don't even

  267. need words to cry. We were singing that song

  268. earlier. I wasn't singing it.

  269. Y'all singing it. Oh, remember the song?

  270. That part? Remember the song?

  271. We sing a whole bunch of songs. Oh, right, that's all right.

  272. That's a cry. That's a cry.

  273. Oh, let's see, now you this way. Now you can sing it like it's

  274. cute. Oh, oh, oh, oh, right.

  275. You can sing it like it's cute, OK?

  276. Or you can cry it out. I'm saying I'm doing an example.

  277. I'm going on the edge here, OK? I want y'all to come up here.

  278. Laura and Anna Beth. OK.

  279. OK. Now, Anna Beth, I want you to

  280. get your microphone. We're going to the fight.

  281. Coach, I left my gun at home. Bring your microphone.

  282. Your microphone. OK.

  283. So good. What?

  284. It's all right. Come over here.

  285. Come on. Come on.

  286. Come on. Come on.

  287. Come over here. I want Anna here.

  288. Laura. I want you over here and over

  289. here. Laura over here.

  290. OK. Right.

  291. Good, good, good, good. Go, go.

  292. Right now. I want you to sing.

  293. Oh, it can be soft. It can be just sweet.

  294. Just. Oh, go ahead.

  295. OK. So.

  296. So. No.

  297. Sorry. I'm gonna let you rest.

  298. I may need you later. So who going?

  299. Who going to step up? I'm glad somebody hungry.

  300. I'm glad somebody hungry. Want to come up?

  301. Come on, CC. That's alright.

  302. You a good job. OK.

  303. She can help you. I can do it together.

  304. OK, They gonna sing a pretty nice sing a pretty nice.

  305. Ready. Oh, make it sound like

  306. beautiful. That's beautiful, isn't it?

  307. That's that a cry. OK, I'm telling you.

  308. That's not a cry. OK?

  309. I'm just telling you. Right.

  310. Because she's singing. It won't make any sense.

  311. She's singing it. OK, now, now, now, Laura, I want

  312. you to cry. Oh, can you do that?

  313. Don't matter. See, that's that's a good

  314. question, though. This is important.

  315. Cry don't care about key because the crying about harmony.

  316. It's about my God and me. I knew I pick right?

  317. You see what I'm? Saying OK, and I'm going to tell

  318. you this the truth and this is facts when she begin to cry.

  319. She sets the key. They will find her wherever she

  320. is. When you begin to ground to God

  321. and whatever key of desperation, whatever key of hopelessness,

  322. whatever key of who he is, heaven will find you and they

  323. will back you up. They will calm you, they will

  324. get in rhythm with you. They'll put the face in with

  325. you. They'll find you and make it

  326. look like the key with your idea.

  327. OK, I just want you to cry out. Get this crowd.

  328. Old come on deeper. Your husband's in trouble and

  329. your cry is getting improved. Yeah.

  330. Oh. Thank you.

  331. What's that signal? Like this?

  332. OK, good. Don't mind.

  333. You see the difference? An old can.

  334. Be a cry. Let me tell you a cry.

  335. Here's a cry of a mother's old when she's in a bed when she's

  336. in A room. Trying to deliver.

  337. A child and she's got news that one of them has passed away in

  338. utero and the other one is fighting for their life and it's

  339. time now to give birth and deliver.

  340. Cry that. Mom and pushing oh oh that's a

  341. cry. See O can be a.

  342. Cry. It's not about necessarily how

  343. literate. The more of the Word of God you

  344. have in you, the more of your cry will line up with the Word.

  345. So you need the word in you, OK. That's why when people are

  346. pregnant, see who's having these babies.

  347. She was, she was really having them, but I was there.

  348. She was having these babies. There were some women within

  349. labor. Their cry was a cuss because a

  350. cuss. Was in them you mother, but why

  351. did you ever I'm a dinner, but that was their cry.

  352. Her cry. Was oh God, because that's what

  353. was in it. OK.

  354. When you put the. Word in you.

  355. You're preparing you for your cry.

  356. OK, but even if the. But but it's more important that

  357. you do cry. Don't wait to cry when you need

  358. to cry. Because God's.

  359. Grace has a way of bringing it all together.

  360. Amen. So the cry y'all did a great job

  361. on that music team. Supplication is a cry, a prayer

  362. that cries out. Supplication cries out

  363. reverence. Whenever you're.

  364. Crying out of supplication, you have a reverence for God, an

  365. honor for who he is. OK.

  366. Fog is fear. Of God, and there's a fear of

  367. God as you're crying out. The informality of your cry is

  368. not a disrespect to the reality of God's presence, because

  369. there's a reverence. That's there.

  370. Even as you become undone in His presence, supplication cries out

  371. history. God, I know what?

  372. You've done. I know how you've delivered us

  373. in the past. You're the God of Abraham, the

  374. God of ancient Isaac, the God of Jacob, God of Josh, the God of

  375. grace, the God of Caleb. I'm crying out to the God I

  376. know, the God of Mary and the God of Joseph and the God of

  377. Moses. Supplication.

  378. Cries out history, reminding you, reflecting you, that God, I

  379. know what you've done. I've been tracking you through

  380. the years. You ready and from generation to

  381. generation, you got a history of being God.

  382. Cries out history, cries out supplication, cries out big.

  383. A crab. Supplication is something more.

  384. Than just I need ketchup for my French fries.

  385. You cry for. Ketchup for your French fries

  386. and Monzo. 'S they call the police on you?

  387. Oh, I. Need ketchup for my fry.

  388. Oh. Sir, are you OK?

  389. Right. You got to cry for something.

  390. Big generational stuff, big stuff, bigger than you stuff.

  391. That's when the supplication comes in, because why would you

  392. have a big guy show up to take care of a small task?

  393. He come in with. Everything.

  394. So when you cry. And when you cry, it's an

  395. emergency response. So when he comes with urgency,

  396. your cry, he comes with his bigness.

  397. So give him something to employ his bigness with.

  398. Have a cry that's bigger than you.

  399. Supplication. Cries out big supplication,

  400. cries out generations. That's an example of something

  401. bigger than you cry out for the generations around you and the

  402. generations to come. Supplication cries out undone.

  403. A supplication is a place where you get to the point of just

  404. being just undone. What's undone?

  405. My perceptions, I'm throwing them to the ground.

  406. How I look, don't care. It doesn't matter, right?

  407. And some of your undone. This is not God doing, not

  408. undone you. Some of your undone.

  409. This has to come from you undone yourself.

  410. I'm tired of. Folk keep being concerned about

  411. folks. Think about when I'm crying out

  412. to God. You don't understand.

  413. I need him in this moment. I don't care what you how you

  414. look to me. You know one of the.

  415. Greatest ministries we have in this church is the Cover the

  416. Earth ministry. You know what cover the Earth

  417. ministry is? That's the blanket, people.

  418. OK. Right.

  419. There's a lot of reasons for that, but here's one thing.

  420. I think it's powerful what it says to people.

  421. You go get undone. We'll cover you if anything gets

  422. out of order. You don't have to be concerned

  423. even about protecting yourself. We got you.

  424. You just go and you get undone before God.

  425. You cry out to God and don't even let how you look or fact,

  426. you didn't think about how you was dressed today.

  427. You didn't dress for a cry out. You dress for a cute out, not a

  428. cry out. So when you get down on the

  429. altar, you'd be like all. This.

  430. Don't worry, we got you. Cry out anyway.

  431. Cry. Supplication cries out undone.

  432. Supplication cries out strength. God, I know you're strong, and

  433. because you're strong, I know I can be stronger than I seen.

  434. Supplication. Cries out strength even when you

  435. weep, you can cry out strength. The Bible says, let the weak say

  436. I'm what? When you weak cry, strong

  437. supplication cries out peace, even though you're.

  438. Crying out there's a peace that's anchoring you.

  439. You ever seen a singer cry or something and they standing here

  440. like this? And they just like.

  441. Releasing something, man, and they move what?

  442. That's that's a piece. I am.

  443. Coming from my core, but I'm anchored in a piece that allows

  444. me to have any stress on my body and I can perform the cry.

  445. Crying out supplication cries out peace.

  446. Supplication cries out sacrifice.

  447. What are you willing to? Sacrifice.

  448. What are you willing to give up? You want to get to a little bit

  449. later? Not right now in Kings First,

  450. Kings 8. Solomon was.

  451. Crying out for God's blessing on the temple.

  452. And it says he was at the altar of sacrifice when he when he

  453. began to cry and after he finished his supplication and

  454. his prayer, he offered a thousands of animals of

  455. sacrifice in support of the cry that he made.

  456. God, I'm putting worth into this thing, not just lip service.

  457. Cry for us. That's part of what our offering

  458. compel is about our Remnant project.

  459. It's not just a. Cry.

  460. But it's a supplication. It's a sacrifice to match your

  461. cry. If you cry for your city, you

  462. have an opportunity to sow into a sacrifice that causes God to

  463. match up your cry with your sacrifice and move forward in

  464. greater way in your city. Supplication cries out clearly.

  465. Everyone say clearly. Now.

  466. If someone is crying on supplication, what does that

  467. mean? It's clearly they're crying out.

  468. You don't ever see somebody like, are they crying out?

  469. I don't know what they're crying out.

  470. Don't look. I'm not sure where they're

  471. crying out. When someone's really crying

  472. out, you're like, man, they're crying out.

  473. No, they're. Crying out what?

  474. You doing? They laughing all bro?

  475. They crying out, They're crying out.

  476. It's clear man. Don't get now I ain't confused.

  477. It's nothing else but crying out.

  478. Crying out is supplication, cries out clearly, right?

  479. So this ought to be a clear distinction, a clear

  480. demarcation. And again, it's not always about

  481. volume. But it's about.

  482. This singularness coming from your soul.

  483. From your, from the core of who you are.

  484. First Kings. 8 says this Solomon, supplication for God's

  485. house. First Kings. 8 Verse 28 This is

    1 Kings 8:28

  486. Solomon. Yeah.

  487. Graciously consider the prayer and supplication of your

  488. servant, O Lord my God, to hearken to the loud, crying

  489. prayer which he praised before you today.

  490. So how many of us really read it that way?

  491. O Lord my God, graciously consider the prayer and

  492. supplication of your servant, O Lord my God, to hearken to the

  493. loud, crying prayer which he praised before you.

  494. That's how we read it. But what does he say?

  495. He says he's offering supplication like it's not

  496. always about volume, but sometimes they help you picture

  497. the fullness of it. There's the earnestness of it,

  498. right? Yet graciously consider the

  499. prayer and supplication of your servant.

  500. O Lord my God, hearken to the loud cry.

  501. Hearken to the prayer. You see the investment that's

  502. being made in the midst of that OK, which he prays before you

  503. today that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day.

  504. He's not crying out. For him, he's crying out for the

  505. house. Whatever goes on here, God,

  506. watch over it. Whatever's happening, whatever's

  507. coming from here, God. Toward the.

  508. Place of which you have said my name and the token of my

  509. presence shall be there so that you may hearken to the prayer

  510. which your servant shall make in or facing toward this place.

  511. And that's the key to facing toward what Solomon is praying

  512. here. He is praying God.

  513. I am crying out that this place will be a place.

  514. That's such a. Touch point for your presence

  515. and for your glory that whenever people look to the place, you

  516. hear why is it important? Use the worship center, for

  517. example. They're going to be people on

  518. these balconies. Whose lives are?

  519. In turmoil or who? People who forget about turmoil.

  520. Not just turmoil, but people like man, I want to do what was

  521. right for my life. It's not like something.

  522. Bad, they consider, but it's weighty.

  523. But there'll be people out there considering heavy things and.

  524. They're not thinking. About Jesus, God of Christ,

  525. think about this building right here.

  526. OK, I think about all the balconies that face the

  527. building. What?

  528. Solomon. Is saying when they come out on

  529. their balcony they may not even know they're facing the church

  530. but because they're facing toward it hear their cries of

  531. desperation, forgive their sin, lift their heaviness, get

  532. involved in their lives even if they're not calling on your

  533. name, but solely because they're faced towards the place that you

  534. call home. That's what this.

  535. That's what Solomon's praying, that that would be a touch point

  536. for the Kingdom, and that's our prayer.

  537. So that's and and Solomon goes on to pray these kinds of things

  538. and supplication. God, I'm crying out.

  539. That this place would be such that when sinners see it and

  540. come by, their sins are forgiven.

  541. Then when the heavens are shut up and there's no rain, that

  542. rain will come. Then when we sin and come

  543. against you, you will forgive us and get our hearts turned

  544. towards you. He's.

  545. Crying. Out not just for him.

  546. And he says this in one other verse.

  547. He says this, you don't have to go there.

  548. He says this. And God, I'm crying out that

  549. according to my father's David's prayer, that you.

  550. Would have someone to sit on my throne or David's throne

  551. forever. You.

  552. See How generational. That is, now you know who the

  553. answer is to that prayer. Jesus is the.

  554. Answer to that prayer. Jesus is the one who sits on the

  555. seat of David, the throne of David, and reigns as king

  556. forever. That cry from that day has been

  557. reverberating all the way to Jesus's time and even to this

  558. day. So that was that was Solomon's

  559. cry for his house at the end of our time today.

  560. Why don't we take a couple minutes?

  561. I was. Going to do it at the end we're.

  562. Going to do it right now. We're going to spend a couple

  563. minutes crying out to God for our house.

  564. I've already given you examples of what it means to cry out for

  565. what a God can do in the church. That is seeing it and hearing it

  566. and standing with it. Whatever it is, God, let people

  567. be blessed. I've already given you examples

  568. for that. I've already given you a witness

  569. to cry. Out for what?

  570. God. Needs to be doing and fulfilling

  571. everything that he needs to do in in the in the worship center

  572. got about 7085 thousand left with this next phase when this

  573. faith is complete, then we have the wire and the lights complete

  574. and we're that much closer to moving in the space.

  575. The work is. Continuing because of the

  576. faithfulness of people's response to the cry and heaven's

  577. response to people's cry, the work is continuing.

  578. Our crime must be God equip us to make sure that the work

  579. continues and never stops. So.

  580. I want to take a. Couple minutes right now right

  581. here and I want you to begin to cry to God for your church for

  582. it to be like what Solomon cried out for a place where people can

  583. even just turn towards and find God crying for your church that

  584. all the resources. Required flows freely and

  585. completely so that the work never stops.

  586. Speaking a crowd to. God.

  587. And isn't that to be? Difficult.

  588. Got him crying out that the work never stops, whatever is.

  589. Required got him crying out that the work never stops.

  590. God, money is required. Let the money flow till the work

  591. never stops. If people are required, let

  592. people come that the work never stops.

  593. If favors required, that favor come, that the work never stops

  594. God. If a noise is required, an

  595. annoyed ye come, that the work never stops.

  596. If revelation is required, that revelation come, that revelation

  597. that that the work never stops. If soul is required, If

  598. sacrifice is required, If all night prayers require God, let

  599. it come so that the work never stops, that the glory never

  600. stops, that the Kingdom never stops, that salvation never

  601. stops, that deliverance never stops, that people's lives

  602. transformation never stops. God, we're crying out to your

  603. God. We're crying out.

  604. To you, O Lord, with all that we have, with all that we are.

  605. With our heart. And soul God, we're crying out

  606. to you, O God. God, we're crying out to you, O

  607. Lord, we're crying out to you, O God, let your presence rest upon

  608. this place. Let our people be a people that

  609. can allow your presence to rest in a way that people can see in

  610. him and and be encouraged by it. God, let our your presence be on

  611. this place. Then you can send addicts to

  612. walk by and get delivered. You can send those who are

  613. seeking to walk by and get home. God, we're crying out that your

  614. anointing would be on this place.

  615. Your presence and your power would be on the place.

  616. Thank. You Lord, we thank you, Lord

  617. God. The work never.

  618. Stops the work never stops The work never stops The work never

  619. stops. The work never stops the work

  620. never stops. The gates of hell never prevail.

  621. God, we're crying out for the power and the anointing, knowing

  622. that who you are that the gates won't prevail and the work will

  623. never stop. The work of reconciliation never

  624. stops. The work God of discipleship

  625. never stops. The work on the.

  626. Buildings never stop. The work of renovation never

  627. stops. God.

  628. We're crying out to you, God, because you're a God that knows

  629. how to continue the work from generation to generation.

  630. God. We cry out to you, O Lord, Amen.

  631. Amen, Amen. Amen.

  632. Amen. Cry out, cry out, cry out, cry

  633. out to the Lord we cry. Out.

  634. We cry out, We cry out to you, love, faithful you've been from

  635. generation to generation. We offer up our prayer, God and

  636. our supplication. We pour our spirit and our souls

  637. out. Unto you, oh God.

  638. We cry, we cry and you answer with power, with fire, with

  639. glory. God form on heart, you answer.

  640. God, you cure our cry. You hearken to the.

  641. Cry of your people, the cry of your sons and your daughters you

  642. hear I cry with Thanksgiving I cry God, I sacrifice we thank

  643. you God. Whatever sacrifice is required,

  644. you equip us to sacrifice, so the work never stops.

  645. The. Work never stops.

  646. The work never stops. That forgiveness will forgive

  647. sin, so the work never stops. The deliverance was set to

  648. Captains free. So the work never stops.

  649. That it never stops. That it never stops.

  650. That it never stops God, that it never stops That it never stops

  651. that the work never stops. That the work never stops.

  652. Increase to increase glory to glory, faith to faith.

  653. God. We're crying out that the work

  654. in the family never stops. The work in the.

  655. City never stops. Amen.

  656. Amen. Amen.

  657. Hey, man, you can have a seat. We'd have a chance to activate a

  658. little bit more later, but you know, you can sing your cry if

  659. you want to. There's some places that are the

  660. sun cry can go that a the vibration of a sun cry can reach

  661. levels. OK.

  662. That that a. Vocal cry can't.

  663. It's just something about the IT can climb different places.

  664. You can sing you're. Crying man.

  665. So that's Old Testament. Same God, though God ain't Old

  666. Testament. The Testament's old not God.

  667. Same God when we go to John 11 and we see Jesus supplication

  668. for resurrection. So this is a new.

  669. Testament version of a crowd. And the great thing is too, is

  670. he gives us a great example of it.

  671. John 1130. Those are the verses that I want

  672. you to pull up. See him on the screen 113235 S

  673. Here's the here's the story. Lazarus has died.

  674. Jesus has stayed where he was in Bethany and, and now he's dead

  675. and they say he stinks and all that kind of stuff.

  676. He goes to the place. OK, He goes to the place in

  677. response as led by the Spirit when Mary reached the place

  678. where Jesus wasn't Jesus, not in the city.

  679. He's outside where the tomb is. When Mary.

  680. Reached the place where Jesus was in Psalm.

  681. She fell at his feet and said, Lord, if you had been here, my

  682. brother would not have died. When Jesus saw her weeping and

  683. the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply

  684. moved in spirit and troubled. What does a cry come from deep

  685. within? He's already beginning to cry

  686. out, His spirits already beginning to cry out, and God

  687. can hear the cry of your soul. Even when you don't have.

  688. Words to say He made it that way.

  689. Where have you laid him? He asked.

  690. Come and see, Lord, they replied.

  691. Jesus wept. You think his soul's in this?

  692. This is the. Supplication.

  693. He's, he's offering up right now because right before that he

  694. talks about being the resurrection and the life.

  695. So he's doing more than crying out for Lazarus to be raised.

  696. He's feeling this stirring of resurrection that he knows is

  697. certain to come. So this cry for Lazarus

  698. connected to a cry for another age to see the resurrection,

  699. realizing you and me and everybody else, because when he

  700. comes, he only comes to do big things.

  701. Jesus wept, set in on that. Jesus wept.

  702. He's crying out. And then verse 43 to 44 and when

  703. he had said this, some other things happened.

  704. We said this. Jesus called in a loud voice.

  705. Remember what a cry is. And a loud.

  706. Voice Lazarus. Come out.

  707. He's now vocalizing the cry of his soul, the volume and the

  708. certainty and the determination is being released in this in

  709. this declaration to Lazarus his. Soul has erupted like a volcano.

  710. It's a Lazarus come out. That's the cry of.

  711. That's the supplication. We're talking about prayer and

  712. supplication. The dead man came out.

  713. His hands and. Feet wrapped with strips of

  714. linen and a cloth around his face.

  715. And Jesus said to them, take off the grave clothes and let them

  716. go. How many of y'all read it that

  717. way? So you think he's?

  718. Going from being troubled in spirit.

  719. To saying. Lie, the rest come out.

  720. I'll take the growth clothes off now, OK?

  721. You really think that's what he's doing?

  722. He's crying out beyond. The resurrection to the freedom.

  723. His cry wasn't for me to be born again.

  724. His cry was for him to be free. It wasn't to get out of the

  725. grave. His freedom.

  726. Lazarus come. Forth.

  727. Take off the. Grave clothes and let him go.

  728. Who's he talking to? Who's he saying?

  729. Let him go, Come on now. Get your prophetic imaginations

  730. going. I'm not going to step over the

  731. line here. Who's who's he talking to?

  732. The people. Who's he talking to?

  733. Death. Let him.

  734. Go, I told you. Don't you come?

  735. Back and try to visit his house. He's crying.

  736. Out. And why was that cry important

  737. for him? Because later on you'll see

  738. people try to kill Lazarus again.

  739. Stupid. I get it, he did raise him.

  740. I don't. But he's saying something to his

  741. life. Cry out.

  742. Supplication is the crowd for prayer.

  743. Now I want to go to our last example.

  744. We're going to close with this in John 17 after Jesus said

  745. this. If you.

  746. Look toward heaven and prayed Father, the hour has come.

  747. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.

  748. Now, now, now, I would, I would say to you that this is a

  749. supplication. You may read it like a prayer or

  750. bedtime story, but I would say it's a supplication when you

  751. understand what he's praying about.

  752. OK. See, he's know he's going to the

  753. cross. He know his time is finishing.

  754. He knows this may be the last prayer that I will pray in any

  755. significance in this context because I have to be quiet after

  756. this. OK, you got it.

  757. He understands what's happening here and he understands God's

  758. answer to this prayer is the central linchpin for us and the

  759. world getting saved. When you would see the context

  760. of the prayer without God answering this prayer, you're

  761. not going to heaven when you really understand the context of

  762. it. OK.

  763. And how you why you think it's a cry out too?

  764. Because he moves from this to the garden.

  765. And in the garden it says he was praying with such intensity to

  766. the point he was sweating blood. That's more to.

  767. Me like a cry out than a like a thank you Lord.

  768. Got it. So he's already.

  769. His spirit's already ready. You saw how his.

  770. Spirit moved in Lazarus, resurrection and freedom.

  771. What you think is kicking in here, but that same thing.

  772. You're like, I finished. Talking to y'all now it's time

  773. for me to get ready. In the same way his spirit was

  774. troubled with Lazarus time. His spirit is.

  775. Being troubled, Trouble not in Vadnais.

  776. Being stirred up. Right.

  777. Same thing because he's moving towards the resurrection of you

  778. and I. He's not just crying out to make

  779. it through the death, he's crying out through the

  780. resurrection and for us to be in same species that he is.

  781. Far after. Jesus said this he looked toward

  782. heaven and prayed, I'll say cried out Father, the time has

  783. come, glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you now.

  784. I don't know he was doing it this way.

  785. Father the. Time has come.

  786. I don't know that he. Was doing that but when a man is

  787. facing his death in the separation from the only father

  788. that you knew you knew he's focused.

  789. So it's coming from here and you've got Lazarus example to

  790. show you he's coming from here. Father, the hour has come.

  791. Glorify your son that your son may glorify you for you have

  792. granted him authority over all people that he might give

  793. eternal life to all those you have given him.

  794. Now this is eternal life, that they may know you.

  795. The only true God that Jesus in Jesus Christ, when you have

  796. sinned, I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work

  797. you gave me to do and now, father, glorify me in your

  798. presence with the glory I had with you before the.

  799. World began. I have revealed you to those you

  800. gave me out of the world. They were yours.

  801. And you gave them to me, and they've obeyed your word.

  802. He's crying out his faithfulness to God.

  803. He's crying out. I understood the assignment.

  804. He's crying out to God. God, I have.

  805. Nothing left. Sometimes.

  806. Supplication is accompanied with people being on their knees.

  807. Knees is an act of humility, right?

  808. But but on your knees is also a kind of an act of God.

  809. I have no more strength. I am pouring.

  810. Out my heart and my soul and my spirit to the point where I have

  811. no tears, I have no strength, and I don't even have an ability

  812. to hold my own weight. For all of my strength, it's

  813. been released into my prayer unto you.

  814. Oh God, I'm crying out, not just for your answer to my prayer,

  815. but for the very strength I need to continue, get up and go

  816. another day. Cry out is.

  817. Point out that way and you see Jesus do it.

  818. Saying this, I want to go down to verse 20.

  819. Yeah, I'm going to. Verse 20 Now before this, Jesus

  820. is praying for protection for them.

  821. They're faithfulness to the call because he understands if they

  822. falter, the mission is undone. I'm not saying God wouldn't find

  823. a way because God's omnipotent. What I'm saying is the plan he

  824. had is dependent on these 12 and he's crying out God in this

  825. moment where I have to leave, I need you to be there with him to

  826. finish the work and carry it on because I'm not going to be

  827. there with him. And their work is not just about

  828. them and the nations around. It's about all those are going

  829. to believe on Him because of believe on me because of their

  830. word. Verse 20.

  831. My prayer is not for them alone. I also pray for all those who

  832. believe in me through their message that all of them may be

  833. one. Father, just as you are in me

  834. and I am in you, may they also be in us that the world may

  835. believe that you sent me. Listen to this cry Father.

  836. I'm praying for those that are going to believe on me because

  837. of their message. God, I want all of them.

  838. To be 1, he ain't praying. About building big churches.

  839. He ain't praying about enemies, he praying about those he's been

  840. called to and. He's praying one thing.

  841. He's not praying. That they read the Bible?

  842. Easy. He's praying.

  843. God that they be. 1. A.

  844. Supplication A crime prayer of supplication is focused.

  845. They be. 1 that they would know. You love them the way you love

  846. me. That we would be one God.

  847. I'm crying out, God, God, they're going to face

  848. difficulty. Make them remember this.

  849. They're going to face persecution.

  850. Remind them that you love them as much as you love me in the

  851. midst of it. That's Jesus.

  852. That's what Jesus is praying here.

  853. I've given them the glory, verse 22.

  854. I've given them the glory you gave me, that they may be one as

  855. we are one. His earnest cry is for us to be

  856. 1 together, as the Father in Jesus is 1.

  857. I. In them and you in me.

  858. So he's not even. Saying that we may be 1 as the

  859. Father in Jesus as one, but since he's in us, that means all

  860. of us together as one being in one.

  861. That's his earnest cry. That's his.

  862. Supplication in this moment. That's his.

  863. Thing. You know.

  864. I've never said this. I never saw this.

  865. I. Don't Jesus.

  866. Was talking about not my will but your will be done in the

  867. garden. I wouldn't be surprised if he

  868. had some of this on his mind to the point of shedding blood.

  869. He's he's still in that space of his spirit and soul, being more

  870. concerned about the unity of the people he's ministered to and us

  871. being the one with him than anything else.

  872. Amen. So Jesus cried out for the

  873. Father, for us. I want to take a.

  874. Moment to activate this let's enter into some prayer and

  875. supplication for what Jesus prayed for unity among our

  876. family that we in this house will be 1 the way your father in

  877. Jesus is one that we wouldn't know in this house that God

  878. loves us. As much as.

  879. God the Father loves Jesus. You don't have to wait for a

  880. cue. You can begin to cry.

  881. No one in the movie tells you when to cry.

  882. Do that. You just cry when it hits you.

  883. Father, we're crying. Out to you, O Godfather.

  884. We're crying out. We're crying out to you, Lord.

  885. Crying out. See Unity Matters.

  886. Jesus is. Saying this is the most

  887. important thing to me, this is the most.

  888. If it don't matter to you, it matters to your Jesus that much.

  889. Love your Jesus enough to cry out for what matters to him.

  890. Father, we thank. You and I'm encourage you to

  891. change your posture. If you've been sitting, I'm

  892. encourage you to stand up. If you've been standing, I'm

  893. encourage you to lift your hands or encourage you to get on your

  894. knees. Change your posture to position

  895. yourself more deeply and centrally on crying out to God

  896. in this moment. Father, we're crying out to be

  897. the answer to the prayer that Jesus prayed God.

  898. We're crying out to see that answer in our church and our

  899. life in this generation that we in this church will be one.

  900. We in this church will be one that we in this body would be 1.

  901. That we that. Believed on your word through

  902. through those 12 will be one God.

  903. We need unity more than the air we breathe.

  904. We need this oneness God more than our necessary food God.

  905. We're crying out for that unity through sin.

  906. Through. Death through doctrino

  907. difficulties and and separations.

  908. God, we're crying out for unity. We're crying out for oneness.

  909. Oh God, God, we're crying out to know the love of God, for us to

  910. know the love of God, to know that you love us as much as you

  913. crying out, God to live that out.

  914. We're crying out to live it out of the way that the world can

  915. see. Knowing this.

  916. They'll see that knowing that we're in unity.

  917. They'll see your power knowing that we're in love.

  918. They'll see. Of Jesus as Savior and Lord and

  919. Christ. God, we're crying out.

  920. We're crying out, we're crying out, we're crying out, we're

  921. crying out, we're crying out, we're crying out God, we're

  922. crying out God, God, we're crying out to you if.

  925. Man, we need the voice of man. Man, we need your voice.

  926. Louder than when you're cussing, Louder than when you're cheering

  927. for a football team. We need your voice.

  928. Come on, man. We need your voice to cry out.

  929. Cry out. Men like life depends on it.

  930. Cry out, men. Make your pride down.

  931. Make your pride down to cry out. Father, we thank.

  932. You for breakthrough in the. Cries of men and we thank you

  933. Father, You make us a house that cries out.

  936. We. Cry out.

  937. We. Cry.

  938. Out knowing that you've done it, confident that it's sure.

  939. We are the answer to that prayer.

  940. We are the answer to that prayer.

  941. Our church is is an example of the answer to that prayer.

  942. And we're not the only example. We're crying out for all of the

  943. churches in our city, all of the churches in our province, that

  944. we together would be the answer to that prayer.

  945. That sin would derail us. Doctrine would derail us.

  946. Difficulty wouldn't derail us. Bitterness wouldn't derail us.

  947. Distraction wouldn't derail us. Comforts of this life won't

  948. derail us. Oh God, do you hear our cry?

  949. Now we're crying out, Father, you said.

  950. Supplication cries big and bold. We're crying out.

  951. God Solomon prayed a prayer for his church house.

  952. We pray that. Prayer, first of all, on the new

  953. temple, which is us, because you live in US.

  954. Let it. Be that your presence will rest

  955. on us, that when people turn toward us, sins get forgiven.

  956. People turn toward us. They find hope.

  957. People turn toward us. People walk past us.

  958. Addiction breaks God. Let us be physically.

  959. Let us be, as your people, an answer to the prayer of Solomon.

  960. And father, let us be as a church with our space and our

  961. worship center, be an answer to that prayer.

  962. You did it for Solomon. Grace us to do it here.

  963. God again, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, Thank you,

  964. Lord. Amen.

  965. Amen. Amen.

  966. Inspect the. Reverence of of that moment.

  967. Give me the. Amen.

  968. I could have a seat. You have a seat.

  969. So you can cry out anytime you want to.

  970. And the great thing about this crying out, you don't have to be

  971. emotional, but you just have to be moved.

  972. So whenever the word moves you, you can cry out.

  973. Are you ready? Or whenever you move the word to

  974. move you, you can cry out. Whenever you go to the word,

  975. there's always movement in the word, both the written word and

  976. Jesus the living Word. Whenever you go to them, they

  977. can move you to cry out. I'm going to do pray for me PDL.

  978. I just get a sense it's the people here that are confused.

  979. And they're just in the. Midst of confused like a fog and

  980. their confusion is paralyzing them.

  981. OK, I don't know who who that is per SE.

  982. Why? Don't we per SE them?

  983. I don't know, but if that's you, I'm going to ask you if you

  984. could just raise your hand. You're feeling confused.

  985. OK, raise your hand high, right? Paul says.

  986. I will boast in my weakness because then God's grace is my

  987. strength. OK.

  988. Confused. Confused.

  989. Anybody else? OK.

  990. Here's here's what I want you to do.

  991. I want you, first of all, to stand up.

  992. Why stand up? Because part of what keeps

  993. people confused confuses trying to bind you to stay in the same

  994. place. So once you begin to move, you

  995. automatically, now confusion is confused.

  996. Uh oh, we weren't doing this. What are we doing?

  997. What are we doing? What are we doing?

  998. Right? So the first step is I just want

  999. you to stand up. Stand up.

  1000. If that's you, OK? And ain't no shame of being

  1001. confused. That's what families.

  1002. With the house is for. Amen.

  1003. OK, now why is standing up important?

  1004. Because in standing up you get a better views.

  1005. It's sometimes confusing because you're looking in the looking in

  1006. low places. So standing up is like, God, I'm

  1007. going to get your perspective on this now.

  1008. It's just like a. Prophetic activation.

  1009. Right. I'm rising above the clouds, I'm

  1010. rising above the confusion. I'm just going to stand up to be

  1011. in clarity. You, man.

  1012. Now confusion can lead to depression, despair.

  1013. It can lead you to be a zombie or Walking Dead, just walking

  1014. through life. It can lead you to kind of

  1015. duplicate just nothingness and the people around you, they get

  1016. complacent and do nothing. Confusion can even lead to

  1017. people wanting to kill themselves.

  1018. Right. Confusion's a big deal.

  1019. That's what I'm saying, right? So we're going to pray for

  1020. y'all, OK? And that's what you to receive

  1021. this prayer. We're going to pray for y'all.

  1022. So everyone who didn't have their hand raised, that's not

  1023. standing up. This is my sister here.

  1024. This is my sister. That's my brother that's showing

  1025. off my brother over there. This is my family.

  1026. Could you do me a favor? And help.

  1027. Me cry out for my family now they can be yours too.

  1028. They can be yours. Too, and I hope they are, but

  1029. even if that's. Not enough to move you to cry

  1030. out. I'm going.

  1031. To ask that you can you hear me crying for my, for our family

  1032. you're speaking to cry over half of them.

  1033. Father, we're canceling confusion.

  1034. God, we're crying out that confusion will be cancelled.

  1035. But crying. Out that confusion will be

  1036. cancelled in Jesus name. Father, we're crying out now.

  1037. Confusion you've got to break. Confusion of mind, confusion of

  1038. purpose, confusion of soul, confusion in every way you've

  1039. got to break. In Jesus name, God, Your word is

  1040. a light, Your word is a lamp. Spirit, You bring clarity, You

  1041. bring truth, You bring direction.

  1042. Holy Spirit, you come. Father, we're crying out of

  1043. supplication. God, we're crying out for them.

  1044. We're crying out for them, God, Confusion, pray, clarity come.

  1244. to go to Kitsilano Beach and we're going to do baptisms at 10

  1245. AM. OK, so we get to go show a

  1246. public declaration of what Jesus is doing in the middle of the

  1247. city. And I don't know about y'all

  1248. that gets me excited. I love when baptisms happen

  1249. here, but doing baptisms outside, I can't imagine what

  1250. the Lord's going to do. I'm expecting revival,

  1251. personally. I'm expecting revival.

  1258. July 6th at the Hollywood Theater for the official

  1259. Mocktails album release concert. Do not miss it.

  1260. Let me let me tell you why this is so important OK.

  1261. There is a lot of creativity in this house.

  1262. There is a lot of art that has to go forth into the culture so

  1263. that we can help change the culture for Jesus OK and our

  1264. pastor is taking the first bold step to do so.

  1265. We're going to a secular space. There's a bar there there's

  1266. there's people who have sold out that place and they've done it

  1267. on their own accord and we're going out there trying to do it

  1268. for Jesus. If we sell this thing out it

  1269. lets the city know OK, when I see Love Quest name on something

  1270. I know people will come out and at the end of the day they want

  1271. their money but we want to see people come to Jesus.

  1272. So we going to use that money as a bait and we going bring them

  1273. Jesus afterwards. OK, There's artists coming

  1274. ahead, there's graphic designers coming ahead, the singers coming

  1275. again. Our worship team is coming

  1276. ahead. Our Christmas reduction is

  1277. coming up. Y'all been to a Christmas

  1278. reduction before? If we want to make that thing

  1279. bigger, we got to show the city that it's worth being bigger.

  1280. And I don't know about y'all. Every time we do something in

  1281. here, we're like, man, it should see more people should see it.

  1282. This is our opportunity to do so.

  1283. So don't slack. Get your tickets, get out there.

  1284. We'll have the crew, we'll have Terrence Richmond.

  1285. Scribe Music will be performing. There will be so much happening

  1286. and there will be more special guests to come.

  1287. OK, So what are we going to go do?

  1288. Church. We going to be.

  1289. What we going to be? What?

  1290. All right, other John, you got some fuss.

  1291. We got some first. I just did one.

  1292. Thing and and I just say this real quick and, and just kind of

  1293. pray out that's this. One I want.

  1294. You to put the dates back up. Of the.

  1295. Right there, OK, It's really important that you connect with

  1296. these dates, right? Because this is where you get

  1297. your power in the wild from. You got it.

  1298. OK, don't go. Don't go June 1st with 9 and 12

  1299. here. June 8th, 9/12, 6:30 you see the

  1300. times. Don't try to go out there wild

  1301. with no juice. The whole purpose is to build a

  1302. momentum and a unity here that carries with explosiveness out

  1303. where we're going. Amen.

  1304. The other part was want to emphasize too is.

  1305. Cry. Out to the Lord on people you

  1306. can invite to these, to these opportunities.

  1307. It's a basketball game. It's a burger joint.

  1308. Right. It's it it, it's a concert.

  1309. There are places and people that will come in those spaces that

  1310. maybe not come in other spaces. And when they encounter the

  1311. fullness of the love that we have and share, then it becomes

  1312. that much more powerful. OK, so this is opportunity to

  1313. reach people, not just have fun, right?

  1314. So just remember that. And we'd be thinking about

  1315. people to, to, to bring in for those moments.

  1316. OK, good. All right, So I'm going to go

  1317. and pray out, man, man, you know, I thank God that God has a

  1318. church that we have a sentence about us, right?

  1319. Then we'll go to where people are in order to try to reach

  1320. some that may not come to where we are.

  1321. Father, we thank you for this time.

  1322. We thank you for what you're doing.

  1323. We thank you that you're birthing.

  1324. You've birthed the Spirit, the crowd in our community.

  1325. It's all manner of prayer. But we are a church that learns

  1326. and knows how to cry out and supplication unto God.

  1327. We thank you, Father, that for those that we pray for today,

  1328. that confusion is destroyed and clarity is calm.

  1329. And the clarity when the Word and call and ministry and life

  1330. and decisions has come, Father, and the courage to walk in that

  1331. clarity has come as well. We thank you, Father, for all

  1332. that you're doing through them and the people who are here,

  1333. their testimonies. We're so excited about the

  1334. opportunity to walk with you in this time.

  1335. We give you praise and glory for it.

  1336. Father, the word we received today shall bear hunter for

  1337. return. None shall be lost in Jesus

  1338. name, Amen, Amen. Amen, Amen.
