Cry Out (1130am) - 5.18.2025 (Pastor Terrance Richmond)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

some tea, and get ready to receive.

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

I just got news this morning that the enemy is really

frustrating because he thought he had us.

I, I found out the enemy, he had momentum in our bloodline before

and his moment, momentum has been completely disrupted.

Amen. Amen.

I found out that the devil lives under my feet, not in my mind.

Listen, y'all can keep listening to me.

I'm just talking out loud about my own testimony.

So y'all go ahead and I'm going to keep bragging.

You can brag to somebody if you want to, but I'm bragging.

Amen. I realized a lot of people go to

church and they expect to be talked to.

And you don't realize what you have to tell us, right?

So normally when we preach and you say Amen, that's you telling

me not only you agree with what I'm saying, because sometimes

people say Amen. They don't agree.

They don't even know what I said, but but there comes a

point in your life where you got to holla back at the goodness of

God. It's like the angels cry, holy,

holy, holy, Right. But one Angel is like holy.

In other words, man, God is amazing.

And the other one's like holy. And they just going back and

forth like, ain't he good? Yeah, ain't he good?

Even did that for your family? Yeah, Yeah.

And and then you come here and be like, man, God broke my

family through. And you like, that's awesome.

PT. Well, your little stinky self

got here today and he, he saved you from car accidents.

Amen. Amen.

Amen. Amen.

All right, all right. I'll leave you all alone for a

little while. Every, everybody.

What I do know is 100% of y'all, 100% of y'all, even the ones

that came in here looking good, you and y'all came in here

looking good. The rest of y'all, No, I'm just

playing with you. 100% of y'all say 100% carry in something that

God does not want you to carry. 100% of us are carrying

something that he died and he wants to carry it. 100% What I

do know is only a fraction of 100% want to let it go and is

willing to do something about it.

I think the percentage is higher for the people that want it

gone, and then it gets lower when it comes to the people that

actually are willing to do something about it, right?

And so I got news this morning that the Lord wanted to do

something and I'm just giving a prophetic illustration of what

he wants to do. Now remember, 100% got something

going. You carrying something.

OK, I know you are hundred, 100% how many percent?

OK, let's make it clear, 110% of the people in here is carrying

something that God's like, hey, that's not benefiting you or me

by you carrying it. So how about you just let that

go? Let me take it.

What I love is God's not like, just get rid of it.

He says let me take it because when he takes it, He's working

everything together for good. See, your problem is his

ingredients. OK?

Amen. So, so some of y'all, in no

particular order, some of y'all came in here carrying.

No, I don't want to do this one first.

We can see you gave me that one right there.

What's that one? Nope, not that one.

Yes. Yeah, here we go.

Some of y'all came in here carrying this.

Even when you come here smiling, you got makeup on and all that

and the muscles and all this stuff like you for sure some of

y'all came here will worry now when you're not in church when

you come to church you're a little bit lighter and that's

what that's the effect of church a good church OK is that there

is there should be something in the environment that when you

walk in it. There's a kind of you could

breathe a little bit, a little bit, get that, and if at least

feel better at the first time attendee song, By the end, you

all should feel a little better. But the Lord says that this is

something that a few of you are carrying.

And today he is already gone before you.

And He's saying that your worry is defeated.

Let it go. You are delivered from worry.

Hallelujah. Right here, right here, right

here now. Hey, hey, hey.

Don't belittle it. Some of y'all afraid of the

dark. Fear is fear.

Ain't going to lie. I feel a little comfort when the

when a light is on something, something OK, but I'm not afraid

of the dark. But some of y'all really at

night time it get bad for you. Anybody ever at night time it

just kind of get bad for you a little bit in your mind, it's

OK, it's OK, it's OK. It's not OK, but it's OK because

the Lord is here to take that right.

Here's what I do know in the presence of the Lord, you don't

have to minimize nothing. OK, If you afraid of the dark,

you afraid of the dark, you don't gotta you don't got in the

presence of the Lord, you don't gotta if you don't feel good and

somebody say how you doing and you like, I'm blessed and highly

favored. That's what you are.

But in the presence of God, you can be like, it sucks right now,

right? I'm afraid I don't know how to

be a father. I'm afraid I don't know how to

be I'm. I'm afraid I'm a fail.

It's OK in the presence of the Lord to share that right now.

Guess where we are in the presence of the Lord, OK.

And I am telling you by his stripes, in the name of Jesus,

the enemy is defeated and fear is under your feet.

Come on. Let's go here, let's go here.

Let's go here, let's go here. Somebody say look at your

neighbors. Say I think this one for you.

This might be for you. See, pride don't always look

like that's not pride. You know, all the time.

Sometime pride. Is this here.

Here. Here.

Ready. That's the Lord.

No, this is. Yeah.

You be the Lord today, OK? You.

That's a lot of responsibility. All right?

Hold on to it. Lord's trying to take something.

You taking something, Right. You're the Lord.

And this is pride. No, no, I don't want to let that

go. No, that's pride, right?

You just want to hold on to it, let go and that the Lord will do

that too. Some of y'all be like, Lord just

let it go. And he'd be like, OK, go ahead,

you like Oh no. And then some of you are just

arrogant. Some of you think you got it all

under control, you won't let God in.

Some of the pride is not necessarily towards God, it's

towards your spouse, it's towards your kids, it's toward

it's in the world. You think you're the smartest

thing on the earth. Can't nobody tell you nothing.

You're just super smart. But whatever.

Pride is pride. I think everybody know pride,

but the Bible says pride comes before the fall.

We know. I mean at the end of the day,

right? It's the part of anybody ever

heard of P Diddy? Anybody heard of Puffy?

OK, if you haven't all know where you've been OK, but but

the arrogance to think that I but this is what the devil does

with pride because he is pride. So he ain't going to tell you he

in control, but that brother going to drive you to the top of

the top of your pride and he going to get you up there.

And one day your pride he going and then you just drop and he

laughing at you now and condemning you and beating you

up. Pride will let spouses not

listen to each other. Hey, man, I've been there.

Was it like been there or I was still there?

Babe, No, I'm not OK. Tell the people I'm free.

All right? Thank you.

All right, prior to having you think your your your your spouse

don't know what she talking about.

No, or your pride to have you, your spouse know what they

talking about, but you just can't admit it.

You ever been there like over stupid stuff too?

You're like, no, yesterday it was supposed to rain and then

you find out and then you can't even admit.

But I was wrong, babe, stupid stuff.

Can you at least be prideful over big serious stuff?

No. All pride.

OK? Pride will kill you.

Pride will sicken you. Pride is heavy to carry you.

You. You know that.

I'm. I'm.

I'm because there's a deal. I feel like pride is strong in

here this morning. 11:30, A lot of pride in 11:30.

You ever just be afraid to admit you don't know something?

You ever meet the people that know everything?

It's OK to be ignorant in some areas and that's why I don't

mind. Sometime up here I'm like I

misspelled a word I was rushing or I just over you see how many

slides I make what I look like up here trying to act like it

ain't misspelled and y'all see it on this screen.

So what do you hear me do admit I admit all the time right?

Or sometime I notice it I read it fast and go to the next

slide. You see how much freedom it is

like that was so silly I messed up some of y'all will just like

no but today in the name of Jesus the right pride cannot you

will not let pride pass on to your children.

Come on pride has no more foothold in your family.

In the name of Jesus we bind the spirit of pride.

We bind the stronghold of pride, Pride you have no power in our

family, in our bloodline, in Jesus name.

Somebody say we that food that that sex drugs alcohols

Instagram This is not just like a sex word, like you just

lustful, you just got to have it.

It's what your flesh desires without God, it's what the flesh

desires without God, it's what the flesh desires without God.

So it's no way to be in lust and be with God.

Anybody ever. A lot have had lust just kind of

ruled a life a little bit. I'll be the first one to raise

my hand. And then the people that don't

have their hand raise you lying. I don't want to call your name

out. You just lying, right?

And now that's the last balloon. I thought we pop pride.

OK, but lust is evil. Hey, put up, put up James 113

before I pop this bubble like who want to be free from lust.

Amen. Amen.

Well, you about to be like, come on, don't, don't don't raise

your hand. And then when this balloon pop

you, you, you go back out there and let what does this mean?

Does this mean when we pop come on, we just popping balloons?

OK, let's be real right now, we but when you pop this balloon,

it is a prophetic implication that you are free.

Now are you going to believe the pop or or or are you going to

believe the words released? It does not mean that the

temptation of pride is not going to exist.

But what this pop means is that you have made the decision to

grab a hold of the authority of Jesus Christ and put whatever it

is, pride, fear, lust, whatever it is, under your feet, and

you're going to make that choice to walk in your victory today.

OK? Let no one say when he or her is

tempted. I am tempted from God.

No one, for God is incapable of being tempted by what is evil,

and he himself tempts no one. But every person is tempted when

he is drawn away and enticed and baited by their own evil desire.

How is it your own evil desire? Because it is a work that has

been going on in your life and your bloodline and you feed that

monster is yours. You watch stuff that feeds it,

you talk about stuff that feeds it.

You look at stuff that feeds it, you read stuff that feeds it.

And you do stuff that is going to make that giant get deeper

roots in your life. You're not fighting it.

You desire for it to be gone, but you are not doing what it

takes to release the power of that strong man in your life.

Look, every person is tempted by his own desire.

Watch this then. So it's gradual, say gradual.

OK, you feed it, then the evil desire, it goes from desire and

it has, and then you get pregnant.

You get pregnant with lust's babies, and then lust gives

birth to sin. And you think God is talking in

any of these steps, like when it's just a desire, you think

God's like, no, no, no, no, like right now some of y'all got is

pregnant with some of lust babies.

And God's here to say pop goes the weasel.

Yeah. And it gives birth.

And that's the hard part is when you give birth, the lust is

babies. Now you got to do how many

people got babies? You notice once you had the

babies you got you know once you had the babies, there ain't no

way you can get rid of the babies, right?

They here right? You desire it's all cute to

desire babies one day, right? Let me tell y'all like if you

don't get rid of the desire for babies, guess what you going to

have one day babies. So if you don't want no babies

don't desire babies. Hey, how many people have taken

care of other people kids and lost the desire for babies?

Hallelujah, right? Come on, say thank you Jesus.

And that's what God will sometime do to our stupid

selves. Watch this.

He will give you a testimony as somebody that's doing the same

stupid thing you doing and say this is how it ended up.

And the point of my testimony of my failure is to hopefully turn

you off. And then there you go.

You like, well that was you. You know how kids tell their

parents, well, that was you, OK. And it's about to be you.

And when it's fully matured, so you desire, you conceive, you

give birth, and then you got the nerve to sleep with it.

And it matures. The sin matures.

It now has a life of its own. And then it brings forth death.

By the time that sin takes you out, I promise you it's been

years that thing has been in your life.

I'm standing with you today. Then in the name of Jesus, that

lust loses grips and you grip in your life, but you have the

power by the blood of the Lamb. You have the power to stand

against it, to stand for what's right, to walk in your

righteousness, to walk in holiness, to walk in your new

man. In the name of Jesus, I declare

today you strip off the old man and put on the new man.

You are a new creation in Jesus Christ.

Whoa, come on, shout about it. Whoa, here it is.

Death. You know you can be alive and

not be livid and this is so many of us is we reject.

I thought I was living it up in the club and party and I met my

wife in the bar. Now here it is.

I'm not saying go to the bar and get a spouse.

Not the best idea. Everybody at the club got for

real bags. OK, but the Lord redeems.

He turned it around for our good.

But man, growing up in church, the life of Christ was preached

to me, but I still wanted to live off of my own little carnal

life, lust and what the world had in illusions and chasing

these false realities. And I didn't realize, although I

was alive, I wasn't really living.

The joy I had was based on things that I was trying to

accomplish. And when I accomplished them, I

had joy. When I didn't have it, I was

depressed, I was anxious, I was worried.

And the spirit of death is upon the world and upon carnal

behavior and upon anything that is trying to steal the life.

The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.

But I've come that you might have life in abundance to the

full till it overflows. And anyone that is knowingly

living in sin, the spirit of death is upon you.

Why? Because you're choosing to not

walk in the life of Christ. There's this whole life here for

you, this whole life. In order for you to have life,

somebody died. So in order for you to have

life, you're actually going to probably have to cut off some

real things, right? In order in order to have real

life, you might have to stop cussing whatever is stealing

life if you are unwilling to cut it off.

Spirit of death got a grip in your life because you're

allowing the enemy to steal, heal, and destroy.

The life of Christ is not based on how much money you got in

your bank account. Although having a lot of money

is really cool, but it's not your identity.

Being able to just pay for everything whenever, on time,

all that that, that's really cool.

That brings the level of of financial freedom and lack of

stress that we all in our lives need, but we don't need it to

replace God. There's a joy for the valley.

So it doesn't matter what we're going through.

But if you are choosing to allow sin to reign in your life, I am

telling you the spirit of death is playing in your life.

Now if you want to play with death, go right ahead.

But it's nothing worse than being alive but not living

right. You got people like daddy.

His brother didn't win as far as he didn't win and got to the top

of what he can get to and about to spend the rest of his life in

prison because he allowed this and lust to reign.

And I'm here to tell you, not one person in this room is

stronger than the grips of the enemy.

When you have allowed him to come into your life through the

admission of lust, of pride, you're not stronger.

So it's only a matter of time and the worst is to get to the

end of your life. We're to get 40 or 50 and then

it's all bad. No wish.

Somebody pop balloons when I was young, when I was 20-30.

I'm going to stop there. When I was there around there

with somebody really See, back in the day, Deborah, you can

admit, you can admit this. They just told us don't do it.

You going to hell? OK, for what?

Loving God a make a mistake? Hell, that won't make no sense.

No, you saved, you received Jesus.

You will live with him in eternal life.

Period. But as you live on earth, one of

the greatest parts of walking in your salvation is that while

you're in this Dark World, you can experience some of that

eternal life. Why would you pass up on that?

Why would you pay? Why would you live?

Why would you pay the wages that the world has to pay for being

without Christ? But in the name of Jesus, pray

with me. The spirit of death, get out

your bloodline. The spirit of suicide, get out

your bloodline. The spirit of the spirit of

sabotage, get out your bloodline.

In the name of Jesus we break the power and the sting of

death, and we declare, you shall live and not die, you shall

prosper and not die, you shall have joy and not depression.

In the name of Jesus, say I receive it.

Come on, rejoice, rejoice. Hallelujah.

We going, we going to pray for 60 seconds and I want to take us

into the valley of dry bones. And God spoke, Ezekiel spoke to

the dry bones and they came back together.

And then the Lord says, now I want you to call on the spirit

of life and we're calling the Spirit of life to feel these

bones from the north to South to east and the West.

I don't just want to be alive, but I want to live, I want to

prosper, I want to have joy. I want to walk in my freedom.

Go right ahead. So we call on the Spirit of life

to fill these tribunes in the name of Jesus.

Joy come, peace come, hope come. I can breathe again.

Victory is mines. Victory is mines.

Victory is mines. Victory is mines.

Hallelujah. Come on.

It's mines. It's mines.

Victory is my children's. Victory is mines.

In Jesus name. In Jesus name, victory is mine,

joy is mine, healing is mine, hope is mine, freedom is mine,

prosperity is mine. In the name of Jesus.

Not every now and then it's mines.

Victory is my reality in Jesus name.

Victory is not just some experience, but victory is my

reality, Jesus name. Crying out is not something that

we have to wait for trauma and catastrophe to do.

Crying out should not be the children's, the children of

God's response only when we're in trouble.

Crying out should be a daily practice.

Crying out should be a daily sacrifice.

Crying out when we gather together, crying out should be

the norm. If this is going to be a House

of miracles, it must be a House of crying out.

If this is going to be a House of deliverance, it must be a

House of crying out. If this is going to be a House

of victory, it must be a House of crying out.

Crying out is the sound. It is the frequency of the

children of God. This is not.

Crying out is not our response to trouble.

Crying out is our response to His goodness.

Crying out is our response to His faithfulness.

Crying out is what we do. Crying out is something we do.

It's it's our frequency. It's what we do.

You go to the coast, seals are crying out every day.

Hey, man, it's what they do. Dogs bark every day.

Dogs don't just bark when they're in trouble.

That's true. But the children of God, all we

do is cry out when we need something.

And there just got to be a posture of of just man when you

wake up. Lord, thank you.

Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.

Yeah, I woke up broke, but I still got a Hallelujah, right?

I woke up divorce, but I still got a Hallelujah.

I woke up with people persecuting me, but I still got

to thank you, Jesus. Like, this has to be the, the,

the, the sound. It has to be the posture of our

lives. So then when trouble does hit

us, the frequency is not a new sound.

Come on. What?

What? Hey, What confuses the enemy is

when the sound is like this. All the days of my life in the

storm, there's a sound. On the mountaintop, there's the

sound. In the valley, there's the

sound. And the enemy can't pick up

whether I'm sad or whether I'm joyful.

Like, man, I can't. I can't figure them out because

the sound never changes. This is why the enemy got so

much control in your life. Because when you sad, he know

it, everybody know it. And then when you happy, he know

it and everybody know it. But boy, you'll never know what

a true son or daughter it's going through.

And then here's the thing that I realized is you actually didn't

have to make a choice. Because our natural selves told

my wife this the other day is, man, the thing about crying out

and having this lifestyle of joy and praise is you miss out on

people feeling sorry for you. You miss out on the comfort of

people knowing you going through it because the natural tendency

for someone who is seemingly strong is you don't pour into

them, you don't bless them. Think about normally when we sew

into somebody, we sew into somebody when they got a need.

So we sew down. How often do you sew up because

people up, you think they don't need nothing?

But when I sew up, I'm sewing into what?

Into where I want to go. See, we always want to feel like

we can help somebody. But you got to sow up and you

got to sow down, right? Yeah, sow into the poor, but you

also got to sow in the kings. If all you do is sow into the

poor, you just sowing in the needs being met.

When you sow to the when you sow into wealth, you sow the

overflow. You sow into beyond just your

needs being met, but most of the time when we encourage somebody,

we encourage those that look sad.

We encourage those that communicate.

Oh, I got a bad day I'm having I'm going through you know, you

know, some of you like that. How you doing today?

Well, you know, I'm holding on to God's unchanging hand, right?

You want, you want, you carry that posture.

But see what I understand is when I can be a beacon of

strength for other people, God will send the encouragement I

need versus the attention I long for.

See a lot of you. You get attention, but not true

encouragement and you wonder why you need multiple people to

speak into your life because you just getting attention.

But when that right person with a right now word and an end

season word come and look at you in your eyes and give you a word

from God, not just a poor me or my, but give you a word that's

going to straighten your spine out.

That's going to straighten your reality out, That's going

straighten your perception out. That's going to cause you to put

your shoulders back and face the enemy right now, then you got to

be willing to understand the enemy.

Don't mind you getting attention.

What he's fighting against is you being encouraged.

Come on, somebody say all I need is one word.

Once we got to understand, man. And so the part of maturing is

being willing to live without the attention.

And I admit it man, Attention is great, but it can't be a source

of my joy. The attention got to be icing on

the cake, right? Me walking in here with strength

and praising the Lord is not denying I'm not hurting, right?

Because you probably be like, man, I'm just keeping it real.

I'm sad today, or I'm just keeping it real.

I feel like busting them in their mouth or I'm just keeping

it real, right? I just want to no, no, no, no,

it's OK as the child of God to call those things that be not as

though they were. So it's OK.

You got to, you have to have emotional intelligence and

contextual intelligence and understand who you're spilling

your pain to because your encouragement and your strength

may come through you putting the attention you want aside to give

them encouragement and then God strengthens you.

Would you rather somebody attention strengthen you or God

to whisper to your soul and all of a sudden you strong, right?

Because if I get strong off of your attention, then I'm going

to need it. And the cry out is everything

and we've been in this. I I feel This is why the faith

Word of Faith gets such a bad Rep because it's just like 1

sided right? But me having faith does not

deny that I'm not tempted with doubt.

Me having faith just says I choose to believe God in a way

that I am going to respond to His word and not my doubt.

But we've done a great job in making it look like faith is the

denial of feelings or that did not.

No, no, no, no, no. The true faith is you can be so

in the middle of the storm, and that's what Jesus was saying,

bro, we're in the same storm, but I'm choosing to believe the

word that we going to get across to the other side.

So I'm sleeping on the word not worry.

Somebody say pop. No, you can't say pop that love.

I mean, we just pop the balloons.

And so go ahead, say pop that, pop that, pop that, pop that.

Amen. Hallelujah.

All right, we got a sweetie, sweetie.

The cry of revival is locked within the soul, locked within

the depths of our soul. We need churches to cry out in

this hour more than ever. There's no revival that you hear

of, no Azusa, no Toronto airport, no, there's no move of

God that did not start from a people crying out.

You ready? And not one Sunday, because we,

we got that down. We're coming together for a few

hours on one day a week and cry out.

No, there's such a hunger that we just, we, it's just

relentless and things have to break.

There's a cry that produces what money cannot buy.

I look, I'm just saying to some of y'all, you think you going to

save up enough money that you going to get some joy in a few

years. I'm telling you when you get

that money, you still going to be unhappy, You still going to

have problems because your perspective is off.

You think your credit paid off is going to bring you joy.

You think you and Mary are going to bring you joy.

You think all these things are going to be joy.

So you are putting off your joy and your freedom for something

to show up that once it comes, you still not going to be

satisfied. There's a cry that produces what

money cannot buy. Cry, call, praise.

You won't regret it at all. Those words are interchangeable.

To cry out does not mean tears. To cry out does not mean being

emotional, but crying out just like we did.

Just pray we were crying out. And it stirs up those that don't

resist it right, because there'd be some folks that'd be like

what are they doing? OK, Hallelujah, thank you Jesus

and God knows your heart. You are not in it.

If you've ever been married and you and you just kind of say

stuff to each other like kind things.

You know when it's passionate and you know when it's just like

they just said that because they trying to be nice, right.

That's how we praise God. Sometime we just trying to be

nice. Then it's when them lips and

that heart connects. I promise you won't regret it.

Tell somebody you won't regret it.

Don't allow your monetary comfort to keep your soul in

solitary confinement because you are too prideful or timid to cry

out, right. Solitary confinement, that's a

that's a lonely place. That's a very lonely place.

That's, that's, that's, that's in prison.

That's this place they put you by yourself 24 hours, they feed

you under you just by yourself. No social life, no, no nothing.

And it is a very lonely place. When, when, when, when, when,

when it's monetary Mammon that keeps you comfortable and out of

the, the, the, the, the, the fellowship of praise, right?

What we hope is that today and every time we gather, we stir

something up That, that, that when you go home and you by

yourself, you, you feel the cloud of witnesses with you.

Part of the reason why I can't wait to show up.

I just been thinking about praising God with y'all all

week. Why I can't wait to get to

Wednesday, Because I can't wait to praise God with y'all again.

Because there's there, there's, there's a strength that comes

through corporate praise that does not come from your closet.

Don't, don't, don't block your life of a rich soul treasure

that can only be retrieved and experienced through the cry out.

We see Jeremiah 33 call to me, I'll answer, cry to me, I'll

answer and show you great and mighty things.

It sounds like God loves it when we're desperate for him, right?

This North America kind of like cool relationship with God is

for the birds. But I also realized that there's

a selfishness within the body of North American church that we're

not willing to pay the price for other people to experience

Jesus. Long as I got him, I'm good.

So it's me and God's relationship.

Not I'm not tripping off my neighbor going to hell.

I'm not tripping off of my city full of darkness long as I got

Jesus, I'm good and a lot of our praise is sacrificial for them.

A lot of what God is asking us to humble ourselves for is for

them. John 17 Jesus says for they

sake. I sanctify myself when you going

to have some for their sake praise.

But your little introverted self when it comes to praise.

What do they need? You outroverted?

Ain't no introvert. Ain't no I'm shy.

What then? Shy is fierce, cousin.

Let you let me all you shy people.

That's it. Shy is a kind way to say I'm

timid. Oh, I just messed with some shy

people. But you know about the shy

people? You can't even tell on their

face. They got offended.

They just they just they just feel the same.

Hey man, I'm glad my wife has response muscles in her face

like she at least I know when she mad disgusted sometime I got

to remind her babe what wait a minute, are you mad?

She's like Oh no, I'm on right, but people that just like flat

lined in the face, I'm like I cannot talk to you.

Amen. Don't marry nobody.

Who? The facial muscles don't work.

That's a red flag. Amen.

Hallelujah. Amen.

That the Lord will hear. OK, I'm going.

I'm, I'm, I'm gonna go fast through here.

The heart posture of the cry out is a fruit of repentance and

gratitude. The reason we cry out is because

there's an awareness that God is good and he's faithful.

If it had not been for the Lord, who was on my side, where would

I be? Right.

I understand. Why am I spending time?

Why? Why am I going to sweat for the

Lord? Why I'm going to lose my

eyelashes for the Lord? Why am I wig going to halfway me

off at the end of service for the Lord is because if it had

not been for the Lord, I wouldn't have no wig.

Yeah, we, hey, we got hair coming from everywhere and that

I'm just saying Amen, Hallelujah.

The heart posture of the crowd is a fruit of repentance and

gratitude. Somebody say gratitude.

You see what I'm saying? I cry out because he good, not

because I'm in trouble, right. And when I, when I, when I tune

into that, even when I'm in trouble, the frequency reads,

he's good. I don't cry out because I'm

complaining, right? When I listen to David, when I

listen to men and women of God in the Bible that are crying

out, they're they're expressing how frustrated they are.

And then it's always but God, right?

It's this, this, this, but God, it ain't this threat to God.

Like if you don't do something, I might not have faith in you.

It's just like, God, I'm in this pit.

You've allowed my enemies though they slay me yet will I pray

that there's this cry out that's just like I I I'm in pain, God,

I'm I'm scared God, I'm frustrated, God, but you are yet

still good. It's hard to change that

frequency when your only time you cry out is in trouble,

right? Some changes come by discipline

and determination. Other changes come by dependency

and desperation, Psalm 66 says I cried aloud with all my heart.

I'm talking about, man, when you going to cry out to all your

heart? Anybody a fan of any team?

Got hockey fans in here? Any kind of teams, right?

You you ever anybody ever get excited about anything?

No, no, we got to check, man, because we got to check.

So if if you've ever been excited about anything, I need

you to raise your hand and I need you to look and check down

your Rd. If no one's raising their hand,

If you've ever been excited about anything, raise your hand.

Is it everybody accounted for everybody.

OK, now put your hands down. I want you to think about.

I want you to think about when you were excited.

What what what was your demeanor?

Right, just the turn up, bro, right here.

Amen. Right, right.

OK. Have you ever cheered for a team

that was losing? Yeah, some I feel like some of

y'all like yeah, love quest games, JT.

They you hear that? You hear the frequency in here,

JT No, you know, the devil is a lie.

We got 22 trophies. Don't don't play with me, OK.

And if you were there the other night, you.

That's all we want we want, man. We've been in some battles.

We we in first place and all that good stuff Look, but look,

but but I want you to see so how was you cheering for somebody

losing right, right. You you ever watch you ever

watch anybody ever been a cheerleader in here?

That's hard when your team is losing and you still.

I'm sorry, babe. I'm sorry.

Right. So, so, so right.

There's so you saying you know how to cheer in the Valley.

You know how to cheer when it ain't all you.

You have your have your child ever been disgruntled and you

and while they're sitting there screaming their hair out, their

eyes out, you're like, it's going to be OK, right?

You know how to praise when it's not good.

I want you to observe something. I want to ask you a question.

If you really believe God's been good, why can't he get the same

energy as when you got excited where there's your birthday,

rather you got married your wedding day rather whatever it

was that got you all feeling good and excited, got you to the

point where you couldn't hold it back, right?

You, you get married and on wedding day you, you so excited

because you perceive that marriage is a good thing, but

nobody right? It's hard to keep that same

energy, but you got to work for it.

If you want a healthy marriage, you got to work for that, OK?

It's not automatic. And just like praising God and

feeling good at the same time, it's not automatic.

You got to stir yourself up and that's not manipulation, right?

Because here's manipulation when you know you sent it and you

convince yourself it's OK. So don't start coming talking

about you don't know how to manipulate yourself because

every time I sin I was like God, God going to bring me through,

right? Every time I got super drunk I

just was like yeah I'm gonna wake up tomorrow.

I can drive this car home. You see how you manipulated you?

110% of y'all have manipulated yourself.

So why you can't stir yourself up to give God some praise, See

that you don't think he deserved it or you don't have a

revelation of his goodness. But when you were sinning, you

also didn't have a revelation of death.

But you play with it. Don't come in here talking a

little crazy stuff to me. Amen, Hallelujah.

Please go and watch this morning.

My cry is a weapon of where, where, where, where warfare, not

welfare warfare. Amen.

You cry when you're on welfare. Amen.

Hallelujah. My cry is a weapon of warfare,

not a whine of worry and care. Be like what you mean you

supposed to care? No, you supposed to can't care

less. There's some stuff y'all be

caring about. You should not be caring about,

right? Sometime my wife or some

sometime people come and just be like, hey, did you hear about I

don't want to talk. I don't care like nosy people.

You want in for be careful of wanting information because once

you hear it, it may be something that comes on the wings of the

information that brings worry. It's like watching a bunch of

commercials about cancer. Now all of a sudden you're like,

oh, I think I got colon. No, you constipated.

That's not colon cancer. You just haven't you haven't

pooped in a few days. That's not colon cancer.

OK, right. But because now you got the

information, you worried somebody walk in the room.

Hey, did you hear about I don't care care about what you

supposed to care about, but where can you care less?

Like God didn't snatch me out the club.

He's like, you want to go to club, go to club.

I don't care less. What are you caring about?

Is it is it, I'm not going to ask you is it worth it?

Because you probably say, yeah, maybe a season is over because

it's it's it's stealing life from you.

Your Mama going to be OK. Your mom's been crazy for 25

years. Like, Karen, one more day ain't

going really ain't going to deliver her.

OK, pray for her. But do you know that praying

with passion isn't necessarily praying with care?

We're called to pray by faith, not bombard heaven with worry.

The Bible tells us that, right? EJ tells us.

Hey, don't. Don't approach.

God already knows before you even start praying what you what

your needs are. No.

Tell me you need to care less. All right, I'm going to skip.

Go listen to this morning. When the cries of heaven and the

cries of earth join forces, the gates of hell shatter off the

hinges and sons and daughters break free.

Right. So we left off last experience

with Isaiah 6. He said the whole room was

filled with his glory. Right next verse says then said

I, I wish I'd talked like that. Then said I, it's the slide

before. Then said I, I don't want to

leave you when said I woe is me, for I am undone.

See. See what happens when the when

you let the power of God, the presence of God truly come and

see your life, when you are aware of his presence, for I am

undone, you become undone. Part of coming together on

Sunday or Wednesday or whenever we come together is to become

undone. Now walk in here and act like

you got it all together. Do you know you can be undone

without telling people your business?

For I am undone, and I am ruined because I am a man of unclean

lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.

For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

You see this when you when God reveals himself to you and you

see him, you also see, man, I am unworthy.

But he's not asking you to put unworthy on, but in his

presence, you're aware of your frailty.

Here's what he's saying and here's what I'm telling you to

say. I this is what I said last week

and a half ago. I can't hold me together no

more. Oh, that's maturity.

I can't I can't be the husband God's called me to be to her.

She's she is God's daughter. She is like a lot to not in a

bad way, like in an amazing you a lot like when you understand

that that human being your kids is a lot to to to be the priest

of my household. Cry out.

I need help because there's not just things I need to do.

There's also things I need to move out the way of.

And sometimes God don't need me to be a man.

He needs me to be a son. Help your husbands out.

Amen. Hallelujah.

I can't hold me together no more.

These fig leaves are ruined. These fig leaves look like some

are jeans we'd be wearing these days.

They got holes in them, they got rips in them.

And you still trying to hold yourself together.

And God said when you going to come to the point where you just

undone and just admit you can't hold it all together.

When the cries of heaven and the cries of earth join forces, the

gates of hell shatter off the hinges and sons and daughters

break free. OK, got that?

I bless God every chance I get. He's going to land his flame.

OK. I bless God every chance I get.

Oh, y'all got excited huh? I bless.

I bless God every chance I get. My lungs expand with what?

Praise. Praise gives me greater

capacity. Some of you want to.

You, you. You want to get rid of that

spiritual asthma. You stop wheezing when the devil

show up. He says, I bless God every

chance I get, not when I'm in trouble, not just when it's

good, not just when it's I bless God every chance I get.

My lungs expand with praise. I live and breathe God, if

things aren't going well, hear this and be happy.

Hear this and be happy. He said this is this is kind of

insane because he says if they ain't going well, be happy, How

do I be happy? Because my lungs expand with

praise. And if things are going well,

hear this, be happy, watch this, join me in spreading the the

news together. Let's get the word out.

God met me more than halfway. He freed me from my anxious

fears. Look at him.

Give him your warmest look. He's encouraging us thousands of

years down the line while he in a cave.

So what he's saying is my praise goes beyond the ears in front of

me. My my praise goes into

generations. My praise goes into my great

grandchildren's life. I'm still strengthened by my

grandmama's praise, my mama's praise, my aunties praise.

I still hear the echoes from their voices.

God met me more than halfway. Free me from my anxious fears.

Look at him. Give him your warmest smile.

Never hide your feelings from Him.

Praise should not look painful. Hey, praise should not look

painful. Praise is a weapon that you got

to know how to use skillfully. When I was desperate, when I was

desperate, Psalm 150 books, some of the most desperate writing, I

called out. When I was desperate, I called

out and God got me out of tight spot.

Anybody ever been in a tight spot before?

Amen. Hallelujah.

God's Angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we

now I want you to see this. God's Angel sets up a circle of

protection while we cry out when we was just crying out a minute

ago. Do you understand the activation

in the heavenlies that's in place?

Do you understand what God was doing in the midst of our

praise, of our cry? Do you see the words that are

traveling beyond borders? The word of God don't need a

passport. So I can stand here in another

country, send the word to another country and know that

that word is working on my behalf.

Open your mouth and taste. Open your eyes and see how good

God is. Blessed are you who run to him,

run to him, run to him. Blessed are you who run to Him.

Worship God if you want the best.

Worship opens doors to all His goodness.

Woo. Praise is who I am, not merely

what I do. See here it is song got a hope.

Praise is what I do when out I live my Come on yodelers.

Praises. I will, I vow.

And I owe is, is, is. Stop it.

Stop it, stop it, stop it. It is who I am, not just what I

do. When you understand you are a

praise. This is why the enemy is is is

afraid of when you just wake up like I'm AI don't have to say

nothing. I'm a testimony.

When you walk through that tent, you are a testimony.

When you walk into the mall, you are a testimony.

It's who I am. The reason why you alive is

because you are God's testimony today you walk through the

building, it says God is good. When I look at you, all I need

to know is God is good. Praise this who I am, not merely

what I do. I close here.

Praise the Lord, Praise God in his sanctuary, Praise Him in the

heavens of his power. Praise Him for His mighty acts.

Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness of

creation, as if it were in the contractions of Labor for

childhood. Praise Him with trumpet sound.

Praise Him with Luton harp. Praise Him with tambourine,

single or group dance. Praise Him with string and wind

instruments or flutes. Praise Him with resounding

symbols, Praise Him with loud clashing symbols.

Let everything that has breath in every breath of life praise

the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord.

Here's what I do. Here's what I do.

It's what I do. It's what I do, what I do,

what I do. That's what I do.

That's what I do. That's what I do.

That's what I do. That's what I do.

I. Listen, listen, listen, listen.

I just, I just heard this so clear and this is so good

because I just had a glimpse of, of, of our, you know, my mom, my

grandma, my grandma back in the day.

And I'm just like, man, like we didn't have a problem crying

out, but I saw a lot of people that cried out didn't prosper.

And Lord just quickly quicken my spirit.

Praise keeps you. Obedience prospers you.

Come on. Praise keeps you.

Obedience prospers you. Praise keeps you right.

Praise kept them from losing their mind.

Praise kept them, wasn't homeless, but to live out the

true prosperity, John 1010, man, it takes obedience.

It's no way to the promised land, but obedience.

But if you just want to be kept, you just want a connection with

God, definitely praise keeps you, obedience prospers you.

OK, now I want you to take a picture of these two slides and

we're going to end with the song Praise.

Ain't there a song called Praise?

Whatever you want to do. Listen, if we had more praise

breaks, we'd have less heartaches, you know?

You know, you need to go on a vacation.

You need a break from this. You need a break from him.

You need a break from her. Come on.

Can y'all put this up and work with me, please?

Come on. I don't even know what that

slide is. It's just blue.

Come here. If we had more praise breaks,

we'd have less heartaches. This is real talk.

Mental illness is where it is at because we praised the wrong

thing and the only way the world knows how to deal with it is

medicated. Anxiety medicated, depression,

medicated. But if we had more praise

breaks, we'd have less heartaches.

And then lastly, praise releases me from the toxins of my soul

and terrorizes the enemies of my purpose.

Yeah, you meditate on those two slides this week.

Praise releases me from the toxins of my soul and terrorizes

the enemies of my purpose. Praise is essential to keep in

your sanity, to keep in your peace.

You got to praise on the way to work.

You got to praise when you wake up.

You got to praise before you go to bed.

Thank you, Jesus, Hallelujah, you've been good.

You brought me through traffic today.

You brought me on the highway. You, you.

You kept me when I wanted to lose my mind.

Praise is what I do, and praise is who I am.

I am a walking, living, breathing testimony.

Now it's been too good, it's been way too faithful, and I

won't let the rocks cry out, I won't let you steal my praise,

and I'm not going to watch you praise.

No, he's been good to me. And I'm just believing for five

more people to join the crescendo of the praise of this

house. Just five more people that will

sing hold up a little louder when you walk in here on

Wednesday, when you walk in here on I'm looking for five more

people that see Wednesday night is important to sacrifice to be

here. I'm looking for five more people

that will help us create an atmosphere where the glory of

God can arrest us. I'm looking just for five new

people that you've been passive, you've been timid, you've been

worried about what people think. And starting this week, you are

going to add your praise and add your faith and add your

testimony and add your Joyce and your, your joy.

And you're going to sing a little louder.

You're going to clap a little more.

You're going to sacrifice. You might get on your knees, you

might get here a little early. How many people know getting

here early is praise Hallelujah. And so, so, so I just, I, I just

want this house, I want this house to really be a people of

the word of God. And I want whoever walk in this

house to have an experience. So when we walk into those doors

next door, we carry a cart over there that will not be

mishandled. Somebody was in the city

planning meeting the other day with the mayor and the plans

that they have for this community is absolutely

ridiculous. Is it it?

It is going to be the major hub in the Lower Mainland.

Last week we were believing for just $50,000.

Just as we try to break it down in increments and don't

overwhelm people. And I said if we don't get it,

the work don't stop. And for a couple days, the work

did stop until 70 grand came in. Now, now that 70, that 70 grand

was just a few people, OK? And that whole 70 grand is not

going to go to the building because there's other things in

this building. And for us being here, it needs

to be getting taken care of. Most of it will go OK.

We need to keep giving. That was one week's goal.

This week it's another 50 grand. Hey, we got to bust through the

ribbon. We're not just trying to get to

the finish line. We trying to bust through the

ribbon. OK.

And I'm believing that there's God's going to move on a few, a

few more people that hear the voice of the Lord.

I think the thing that blessed me the most is that when people,

the people handed the money, there was a there was tears in

the eyes because there was a conviction like that sacrifice

when someone as they're handing it over, some of the tears is

like, Oh Jesus, why am I doing this?

But some of the tears is like, God, you've been good.

That check was a cry out. That was like, God, you've been

so good to me. How can I not be generous,

right? We need more people that are

willing to hear from God and be used by God.

I'm telling you, generosity will bless your socks off in ways

that you can't save for. So I'm believing this week that

in a few days we going to count them up, count them up, count

them up and we going to have a 70 grand again when all we

believing for is 50. And I don't know about you, you

just don't pray, but maybe the amens and the clappers, you are

part of that. Maybe it's 10, maybe it's five,

maybe it's one grand, maybe it's 20, maybe it's 50, maybe it's

100. What can God do new through you?

You don't compel generosity. You present generosity with an

opportunity and it says yes. Remember, you want to be kept,

praise him. You want to prosper, obey him.

Who's God going to use? For those that don't know, our,

our worship center is right next door.

It's under construction. We've been in the process.

We've been there 3 1/2 years. Yeah, but the story that God is

writing, this is going to be a people you, you experiential

wealth. So whoever you are today, let

the Lord use you. All of us, 100% of us can give

something. But I love what they said.

He said, Pastor Terence, I believe in the vision that God

is giving you, right? See, some of you think, oh, I'm

here to preach for you. No, no, God sent a family here

for you that can help you believe, help your unbelief.

So a part of the giving is saying thank you God for

connecting me to something great.

This is your building. There's going to be a day none

of us is going to be here, but your family and friends going to

be over there. But when people walk up to you

and say, hey, I want to carry the burden with you, I believe

with you. And when they encourage your

soul and say we going to get in the building and I'm doing

something about it, that's what it's going to take.

We will not be the pastors where our family get killed trying to

build a building. No, this is God's house for us.

So all of God's children need to see the importance of building

our father a house. And if not, guess what we still

going to do? I'll see you man you came.

Thank you. I was out to breakfast.

He was serving. I'll take my little son wanted

to Take Me Out. Micah to wanted to Take Me Out

to breakfast that I paid for. I mean Amen in Jesus name.

And he was like, Dad, I want to take you out to ice cream.

I'm like son, I don't even eat ice cream like that, but

whatever. And and this young man right

here was serving our table and he saw a hat.

I just I'm telling you that hat I was wearing something told me,

put it on. And after you told me what you

told me, I went home and took it off, put another hat on.

And that that hat was just a witness to him and sparked a

quick little conversation. And he's like, man, I haven't

been to church. And he was like, man, here's

here's my church and come and he showed up early and he was here.

And thank you, thank you, thank you.

So while you out there, if you're available, God wants you

to be in somebody's, He wants to put you in somebody's path.

You never know. Let your light shine.

Amen. I think that's it.

We got a lot of announcements, but if you care, go to our

Instagram. Oh yeah.

So next week, I think some of you will appreciate us for this.

It's just just nature of our community, but I really care

about our team. Next week, starting next week,

we are going to go from 11:30 to 12:00 PM instead of 11/30, 12:00

PM to start. Sorry to start not to 9:00 AM

it's going to go to OK, my bad, my bad to start.

Because even if we in the first experience at 11, it still gives

our team an hour to to get get together.

Doesn't mean we're going to get out any later.

It's just simply our team gets here starting at, I don't know,

7:00 AM. And I just I'm tired of fighting

what kind of community we have. We worship, we praise, and the

stuff we're dealing with God's breaking through and you get

people at 9:00 AM start crying out.

We don't want to rush them out because they got to let you in.

And so we just want to give our team some time and for us to

reset. And so start next week, 12:00

PM. Now that does not mean for y'all

who already get here late to get here at 12:30, OK?

We move that time so you can be early, OK, still get here on

time. Put your hand on your neighbor's

shoulder first. Get permission.

Just take 60 seconds and pray for your neighbor.

Come on, pray for your neighbor.

10 more seconds. 10 more seconds.

Hallelujah in Jesus name. All right, somebody say math,

math, MATH, somebody say math. All right.

I just want you people that feel like you've been in service a

long time. For those that came at 11:30,

I'm sorry that we we we were running over, but I want I want

you to be accurate when you tell your friends and family how long

service was OK, We started at 12.

OK, so I got to can I get a witness?

OK, it is what time? OK, so service itself was 2:00

PM OK, now get, get get yourself credit and tell them you just

showed up really early and they hadn't started.

But also let them know because God is moving.

There was some overspill, but I just you hear people be like,

man, I was at church for four hours.

No, it could have felt like that, but it wasn't.

Service today was two hours for you guys.

OK oh, sorry, we got a lot going on in the next month, so please

go and stay connected. We have announcements on our

Instagram and our website and our app and all that.

And then next week we will roll out some brand new

announcements. But we will be in the we will be

out there for like Ford weekends starting June 15th from

basketball tournament Father's Day weekend to the following

weekend. We will have dress rehearsal,

which is something we just want to work out some kinks in our

live show for our album release concert following weekend.

We were we were invited to do some music at a music festival

in Vancouver. Yeah, yeah, and, and, and then

on July 4th will be my album release concert myself, along

with July 6th, along with Love Quest crew and other special

guests. Yeah, so look out.

There's a lot of surprises coming out when it comes to

music. We need your support.

All four of those gigs, from basketball to this album release

concert, they're all out there and they're all on Sundays.

So we got some announcements to come because some of those

Sundays will be no church. We will have church in the wild.

OK, so I need you to pay close attention if you can.

June 15th. June 20, 2nd, June 29th and July

6th put those in your calendar because we are having church in

the wild in Jesus name. I love you guys so much and

until next time till Wednesday night I will see y'all here as
