  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. Come on, shout out. It's broken, it's pops, it is

  10. done. Come on.

  11. Chill, chill. Amen.

  12. Stop. It's the early group.

  13. They came early so they can leave early.

  14. Amen. Hey, it's done, man.

  15. I believe that it's finished. It's done.

  16. Now. Take now.

  17. Take now. Take it serious.

  18. Don't walk out of here. Keep on being foolish and blame

  19. God for the harvest of your stupidity.

  20. Don't do it. He did it.

  21. Now you just got to do your part.

  22. Walk in it, all right? When, when?

  23. When When the when the change is that I want you to imagine

  24. yourself with, with you know that you know when you was

  25. little, when you didn't know how to tie your shoes, you had shoes

  26. with no shoe strings, right? I just want you to see your life

  27. there now, like, so don't go, don't leave out of here getting

  28. entangled again thinking you got to untie stuff.

  29. It's done. You just got to walk in it.

  30. Walk in your freedom. OK?

  31. Last week we started a conversation crept up on us and

  32. it was called Cry out. The Father is listening, right?

  33. And and and, and, and a few things is in North America, we

  34. normally only cry out to God when we're in trouble, period.

  35. And what I've come to understand is the believer, the believer,

  36. the believer, the believer understand the world when they

  37. cry out that that happens. So they can cry out to God.

  38. That's the right. But but there's a different cry

  39. for us. The cry out is a weapon for us

  40. and it should be done skillfully.

  41. And brace yourself oftenly. I can do that.

  42. I can say what I want to say. OK.

  43. So don't look at me crazy. You knew what I meant, right?

  44. Often. OK.

  45. I just wanted to add the Lee on there, OK.

  46. OK, Lee is. Often's last name.

  47. How about that? OK, OK, so I want to ask all of

  48. you what? Why?

  49. Why are you saving your cry out for when you're in trouble?

  50. What if What if you went into a storm with the strength of your

  51. cry? I I I guarantee you if we

  52. practice crying out, we would experience less falling and less

  53. trouble. What if we?

  54. Cried out as much as we scrolled.

  55. We probably deal with less fear, less double mindedness, less

  56. comparison, right? Because when I hear the voice of

  57. a father that responds to my cry, I have less time to pay

  58. attention to other people's blessings.

  59. And the cry out I'm talking about is not coming from

  60. complaining. It's actually a choice.

  61. Like when I come to church, I'm going to do some crying out.

  62. See, see, you think tears, No, cry out can come from joy.

  63. Cry out can come like, like realistically, crying out should

  64. come purely from revelation, not trauma, not catastrophe, and not

  65. grief. Crying out can stir up emotions.

  66. It doesn't have to be from being emotional.

  67. Am I helping anybody? And I'm trying to help you see,

  68. we don't mind complaining. We don't mind being dramatic.

  69. Do I got any dramatic people in here?

  70. Keep your hands down. Hey, that's a blessing though,

  71. when you can admit that you dramatic.

  72. Some folks dramatic and they don't think they dramatic if.

  73. You sitting next to a dramatic person, just say aloud, Lord

  74. help. Amen.

  75. Wow, wow. And you know, I was walking

  76. downtown last week or the other just the other day.

  77. People are protesting and you and I get it and.

  78. Just this is is is is terrible. There's.

  79. So much we get worked up about. I think this past week 100% of

  80. us got worked up about something.

  81. Keyword worked up. It it wasn't it It something can

  82. catch your attention, but it don't got to work you up.

  83. You know the situation don't work you up, you work you up.

  84. Somebody shout out, cry out, tell your neighbor at a soft

  85. voice, say the Father's listening, crying, blessed.

  86. Listen, crying, blessed, celebrated with praise is the

  87. King who comes in the name of the Lord.

  88. Peace in heaven, freedom there from all the distresses that are

  89. experienced as the result of sin and glory, majesty.

  90. And splendor in the highest. And some of the Pharisees,

  91. right? So there are people crying out

  92. to the Lord. They are here, it is praising

  93. Him, they are honoring Him, they are adoring him, they're crying.

  94. Out and some of the Pharisees from the throne said to Jesus,

  95. right, there's going to always be critics and complainers where

  96. there's cry outers even in church.

  97. Unbelievable that there could be people complaining about the

  98. noise of those that are crying out.

  99. Whenever you tell me that we are too loud, you are saying our cry

  100. is too much. But I'm here to tell anybody in

  101. here. If you ever experience

  102. irritation from someone else's praise, you got a little demon

  103. you need to deal with, right? You'll see it all the time

  104. during praise. Folks want to walk around all

  105. now all of a sudden you want some tea?

  106. Now all of a sudden you thirsty, you get uncomfortable.

  107. Now all of a sudden you got a TT Get uncomfortable.

  108. I asked you to pay attention to what's going on in the

  109. atmosphere of praise. Doesn't mean you're a bad

  110. person, doesn't mean you're evil.

  111. It just means God is present. Sometimes to identify God is

  112. present is not by fluffy and goosebumps.

  113. Sometimes you know God's presence because you are

  114. irritated. In a place where you should be

  115. joyful, right? You, you cannot step into the

  116. river that is flowing. You're just watching and you're,

  117. you know, and I get it for newer people and I get it for people.

  118. Who've never been to a church experience where people are free

  119. enough to make some noise for the Lord.

  120. I get it. But I wouldn't serve a God that

  121. couldn't move me, right, because we always trying to move him.

  122. So what that look like you, you and I able to push him around,

  123. right? I can move.

  124. Him, but he can't move you. Here's how I move him.

  125. He woke me up this morning. He like he.

  126. Saw me and said yeah, I got something else for him to do

  127. today. He woke me up this morning when

  128. you thought you was going to die and lose your mind.

  129. Guess what He did. You, your lostness, your

  130. darkness moved his hand. You see how he moves for you,

  131. but then you can't move for him. Hey, man, Hallelujah.

  132. Wake her. Wake her up.

  133. Wake her up. Hey, man.

  134. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  135. First time I don't care. Oh goodness.

  136. First time I don't care. Wake up in the name of Jesus.

  137. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  138. Why y'all be doing that? Y'all us should be sitting

  139. people all up in the front. You need to.

  140. You need people coming to church for the first time.

  141. You need a flashlight. Check their pupils.

  142. You, you going to be OK? OK.

  143. You going to fall asleep? We got the sleepy section over

  144. here. Hey, man.

  145. Hallelujah. Amen.

  146. Hallelujah. Amen.

  147. All right, all right, all right. Let's focus.

  148. Let's focus. Let's focus.

  149. Thank you so much. OK, see here, here's the love of

  150. the father. So like he might be like just

  151. preach the word PT No, the love of the father says he don't want

  152. nobody to miss the word, right. When you if you ever go to a

  153. house where where they're hosting people and they it's

  154. dinner time and we all at the table and we say, is everybody

  155. here because we want everybody to eat.

  156. Amen. Hallelujah.

  157. OK, and then the people that's taking too long, you like OK, I

  158. can't wait no more. The food is getting what call?

  159. Hallelujah. So if I only got a little window

  160. to wake people up and after a while the food is getting what

  161. call and there's people that's ready to eat.

  162. Hey man, who ready to eat today? Hallelujah.

  163. All right, let's go. So some of the Pharisees said to

  164. Jesus, teacher, reprove your disciples.

  165. He replied, I love Jesus, I love Jesus.

  166. They praise in him. They like reprove them, shut

  167. them up. They doing too much.

  168. I tell you that if they keep silent, the very stones will cry

  169. out. He's like, I'm going to get my

  170. worship. So if they shut up, then the

  171. rocks going to cry out, the stones going to cry out.

  172. And I don't know, I'm kind of competitive, but I'm not going

  173. to let a rock steal my praise. No, no, no, no, no.

  174. And you wonder why the ocean still stay vibrant and it

  175. attracts people. From all over the.

  176. World because the the ocean is still doing what?

  177. Worshipping God. You wonder why the mountains

  178. stay so strong and high and they're never moved in a storm?

  179. Because they still praise God, right?

  180. How is everything else that God created doing what it do?

  181. Because it's still praising God, The cry revival is locked within

  182. the depths of our soul. Everything you need is locked

  183. within you. The Kingdom of heaven is within

  184. you. As it's expanding, say,

  185. expanding, there's a cry that produces what money cannot buy.

  186. That sounds so simple, doesn't it?

  187. But you can't buy the joy that I have.

  188. You can't be like PT Where you get that from?

  189. They were, they ran out. They don't have them no more,

  190. right? Simon came up to them and said,

  191. hey, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got some money, man,

  192. Can I get that? Can I get that Holy Ghost?

  193. And do you know how disgusted the apostles was that he was?

  194. He really thought he could buy it?

  195. You really? Think you could buy the

  196. anointing? You can't buy Breakthrough, You

  197. can't buy joy. Not this, not as the world.

  198. No, no, no, he said. I got a joy and and a piece that

  199. that that not as the world gives.

  200. You can't purchase this. There's a cry that produces what

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

  202. A. Strength that counsel came by.

  203. Boy, you sitting there for for an hour paying somebody $125.00

  204. to listen to you? What if you spent the hour?

  205. It's going to cost you something.

  206. It's just going to cost you humility.

  207. What if you spent the hour crying out before the Lord?

  208. Do you know, you know you do you know the strength that you would

  209. get up with? I'm just trying to help you save

  210. some money too, and some some some some heartache.

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

  212. Cry, call, praise. You won't regret it at all.

  213. Now write it out. Why did I write these top three

  214. words? Because they're all

  215. interchangeable. Just want you to know that Cry,

  216. call, praise. You will not regret it at all, I

  217. promise. Come on, say it, Whitby.

  218. Cry. Call praise.

  219. You won't regret it at all. Promise now say it to your

  220. neighbor. Go.

  221. Some of y'all couldn't even. Promise.

  222. Amen. That's OK.

  223. As as each night watch begins. As each night watch begins.

  224. As each night watch begins. Get up and cry out in prayer.

  225. Pour your heart, it says, as each night watch begins.

  226. It is say as each breakup begins, as each heartache

  227. begins. No, no, no, no, as each night

  228. watch begins. Get up and cry out in prayer.

  229. Pour your heart, your heart out, face to face.

  230. With the Master lift high your hands beg for the lives of your

  231. children who are starving to death out on the streets.

  232. Oh, so so crying out don't necessarily have anything to do

  233. with my pain. Like God actually needs my cry

  234. for others. The cry of intercession keep

  235. going, releasing the cry out. The cry out releases

  236. breakthrough. The cry can release spiritual

  237. breakthrough and createspace for God's presence.

  238. There's benefits beyond deliverance.

  239. While seeking deliverance is a common reason for crying out

  240. other. Benefits include guidance, so I

  241. just need some guidance. Lord, let me cry out right?

  242. You get them. I just need, I just need to know

  243. which way to go. Not, not, not, not find 20

  244. YouTube videos and I Google what I need an answer for.

  245. And then I, I, I listen to other people's revelation and I listen

  246. to what God did for them. I, I not once will go in my

  247. closet or drive in my car and cry out.

  248. Lord, I need you. I need your guidance.

  249. I need your light. Here it is Lord.

  250. I know that my steps are ordered by you, so I don't want to order

  251. my own steps. So I will not step until you

  252. show me where to step. And Lord, if I step in

  253. mishearing you, I will be quick to correct my steps.

  254. Other benefits guidance. Understanding.

  255. See, some of us are willing to live with double mindedness,

  256. willing to live live with decision fatigue.

  257. Anybody ever have decision fatigue?

  258. I do. I mean, I did.

  259. Right, You willing? You just like.

  260. I just need some. Sleep, let me tell you, crying

  261. out will bring deliver some stuff in your life that sleep

  262. can never bring you. Some of y'all will get your 10

  263. hours of sleep in your cold plunge.

  264. You eat your you're vegan, you didn't tried everything but your

  265. soul is still tormented with anxiety.

  266. How you vegan and in shape and you still worrying you didn't?

  267. Get to the remnant. You vegan, you plant based, you

  268. go to the gym five days a week. Look look, look, you got all

  269. your needs met and you still worried.

  270. Why? Pray for man got a man still

  271. worry? There's some stuff that only

  272. crying out you bring your life. He says also that crying out

  273. will lead you into knowing God better.

  274. How many people in here want to know God better so you can do

  275. your little cool prayer, Lord? Reveal yourself right and some

  276. of y'all be praying what other people be praying?

  277. Right, you heard all these worship leaders, Maverick City,

  278. Gretzinger, red carpet, red Room, red red ceiling, all these

  279. people you would hurt all these people and you just like you

  280. just repeating what people say, but there's no.

  281. Authentic cry from your heart. Here it is, and you merely are

  282. praying for what their heart desires.

  283. You don't even you, don't even you.

  284. You Lord, send us revival. Do you really want revival?

  285. You know, a revival is no, you're just echoing someone

  286. else's prayer. Strengthen my soul.

  287. Crying out is an act of dependence.

  288. I love this one. It's an act of dependence,

  289. trust, and a recognition of God's power, leading to

  290. significant spiritual growth and a deeper connection with God.

  291. A deeper connection with God. Lord, I need thee.

  292. I can't do this on my own. I got money, but I can't do this

  293. on my own. I got family, but I can't do

  294. this on my own. I'm healthy, but I can't do this

  295. on my own. I can't do this on my own, so

  296. I'm 118. In my distress I cried out the

  297. delivering God. And from your temple throne you

  298. heard. From your temple throne, you

  299. heard my trouble. Cry.

  300. Oh, you heard my cry. Here it is.

  301. You ready? I love this part.

  302. My sobs went right into your heart.

  303. What? You ready?

  304. I like this. It just.

  305. It just dropped down. OK.

  306. OK. Heaven always hears your

  307. prayers. You ready?

  308. But heaven don't always feel your prayers.

  309. You, you ever been to a movie that don't you ever watched a

  310. movie that don't move you? Why, why, why are we going to

  311. continue to spend time praying unfelt prayers?

  312. You ready? You don't have to feel it

  313. emotionally. Your most passionate prayers do

  314. not. See the the reason?

  315. Why our most passionate prayers is when we're in trouble is

  316. because we're in trouble and we're praying prayers from our

  317. feelings. But when it's.

  318. Just all good. It's like, Lord, it's all good.

  319. I know you got it, Lord, I thank you.

  320. But the heartfelt prayer penetrates right to the heart of

  321. the Father. And anything that moves his

  322. heart moves his hand moves heaven.

  323. Therefore, it will lead to a deeper understanding of who he

  324. is based on how he reveals himself.

  325. And as he reveals himself, you will understand deeper of who he

  326. is. Here's what I understand.

  327. There was a long time, a long time.

  328. I think there's so much pride in the body of Christ.

  329. Oh, I read the Bible from front to back 300 times.

  330. I, I do believe like that's awesome.

  331. And you, you should do that, OK. But the emphasis should not be

  332. on reading the Bible from front to back.

  333. There's atheists that have done that, but there was millions of

  334. people for hundreds and thousands of years who never

  335. had. A Bible?

  336. How did they walk with God? And my point is, you can

  337. remember all the scripture you want.

  338. You can quote all the scripture you want, but if it doesn't lead

  339. to an experience, then what? And that's what we try to do is

  340. we try to impress the world with the knowledge of God.

  341. Just don't knock down the curtain today, OK, Please.

  342. Thank you. Don't allow.

  343. Here it is. Don't allow.

  344. Your monetary comfort to keep your soul in solitary

  345. confinement because you are too prideful or timid to cry out oh

  346. that's deep, that's heavy, that's good that's deep that's

  347. heavy that's good some of you here it is what keeps you from a

  348. cry out is because you don't have no.

  349. Need really. And most of your needs you like

  350. all I got to do is work for it. Or if I got a lonely need need

  351. to be met. I just need a boyfriend,

  352. girlfriend or friends. Or find a church with community

  353. groups right? Most of it is.

  354. It's not a cry out. Most of us in here are pretty

  355. good. So your monetary comforts keep

  356. you from passionate engagement. But when you get that phone call

  357. now you want to cry out. We don't have to wait till there

  358. do not be fooled into thinking you don't need God because you

  359. don't need stuff how you put God and stuff on the same but I

  360. don't yeah, I love you Lord, we good today like I'm blessed and

  361. and when our actions is is really saying God.

  362. I really don't have no need. For you because.

  363. I got all my needs met. And then there's things that,

  364. you know, I've learned to be OK without Paul.

  365. When he said I've had much, I've had little, but I'm still, I'm

  366. content. He wasn't like he was still

  367. crying out to the Lord, right? The baby agrees.

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

  369. solitary confinement. Because you are too prideful or

  370. timid to cry out right. Normally our volume is based on

  371. who's around and and and who's because some of y'all can look.

  372. I know you sing out in the car when you by yourself listening

  373. to your favorite song. I know you cry out in the

  374. shower. See you think crying, I'll be

  375. crying in the shower. No, no, no, you sing.

  376. I know when you washing dishes. I know when you cooking, you

  377. lifting your voice. Right.

  378. What helps a lot of us is when loud music is playing.

  379. Didn't you notice when the music comes down, your volume comes

  380. down. You notice that because

  381. somewhere you've gotten. You see that baby's not

  382. conscious of volume, don't even care who, but you didn't got to

  383. the age where you like. You see how the enemy has stolen

  384. your innocence? That that's right and I've never

  385. seen a baby that make noise and did not get a response from a a

  386. parent right. But there's times where where

  387. babies you appear now you know, baby can make noise.

  388. I've I've heard baby babies are kind of always right.

  389. The apparent is cool long as but soon as the baby starts thinking

  390. like Oh, and then they walk around right because the baby is

  391. getting stirred up and here it is and the baby will keep making

  392. noise. Here it is because the baby,

  393. although they can't see your faces, they hear your response

  394. to their. Cry.

  395. So when they was like ah and you went and then what they do after

  396. that ah and then what you doing? Right.

  397. There's communication happening, right?

  398. The baby don't need words or articulation.

  399. They just know. Yeah, right.

  400. The joy of the crowd is the baby's strength.

  401. Your your laugh to their cry gave them strength to keep on

  402. doing it. And you wonder why some of your

  403. prayer life is 5 minutes. Aye, aye.

  404. Come. On because you get you getting

  405. back the energy you sow in. Jesus cried out relentlessly in

  406. the garden and then the angels came and gave them strength.

  407. Here it is. Don't block your life of a rich

  408. soul treasure that can only be retrieved and experienced

  409. through the cry out. There's some stuff that you are

  410. missing out, man, Jeremiah. Call to me and I will answer.

  411. Member call also means cry out to me and I will answer you and

  412. show you. Great and mighty things fenced

  413. in a hidden and hidden, which you do not know, do not

  414. distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of.

  415. And he said. There's things that you cannot

  416. distinguish, things you can't discern, things you can't

  417. recognize, and things you have knowledge and don't have no

  418. knowledge of. And there's things you don't

  419. understand that can only be accessed by your crying out.

  420. You want to step into the new. You want to step into new levels

  421. of revelation, new levels of mantels, new levels of strength,

  422. new levels of peace and joy, new levels.

  423. It's only one way you can get it.

  424. See, this is the work right here.

  425. You, you. You thought you thought your new

  426. level was a raise at work. What?

  427. Look what God. Did not sure maybe.

  428. Or you just a really good, really good employee, right?

  429. People that don't follow Jesus getting promotions.

  430. Psalm 34 yet when holy lovers yet when holy lovers yet.

  431. When holy lovers of God cry out to him with all their hearts.

  432. With all their hearts, not their tears.

  433. Now it might move you crying out with all your heart might move

  434. you to tears. But they don't have to start

  435. with tears. The Lord will hear them and come

  436. to rescue them from all their troubles.

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

  438. gratitude, Oh my God. If my people who are called by

  439. my name here, it is right before they say if I shut up heaven,

  440. what he's telling them is when you see in the earth, there is

  441. this closed heaven. I'm telling my people what to do

  442. to get it open. When you see famine in the

  443. earth, I'm telling my people what to do.

  444. I'm not just closing heaven without putting people in the

  445. earth that can open it. I'm trying to help somebody.

  446. The heaven is closed to the non believer.

  447. It is not closed to the believer, but to intercede on

  448. behalf of our family and our friends and our city, he said.

  449. If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble

  450. themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My

  451. faith just. That when the last time you.

  452. Prayed a prayer that that had the fervor of requirement, not

  453. just oh Lord, if you just Lord if you here it is here's your

  454. bailout. But if it's not your will, well

  455. you can know what his will is. It's right there.

  456. That's what the New Testament is the new will require of

  457. necessity my face. I love it.

  458. It is say humble and require necessity my hand we.

  459. Cry out, we boy. Let us get a two week notice for

  460. something hey can y'all fast with me?

  461. Oh, you want to fast because you got a two week notice and then

  462. you fast and then you still lose the job or you still get?

  463. Kicked out the apartment and you like, I guess God didn't, huh?

  464. Versus if you was crying out before, you might see this two

  465. week notice as an answer to prayer.

  466. So you wouldn't be trying to bombard heaven to keep a door

  467. open that he's trying to close. Can you handle the closed doors

  468. from your cry? Say my face and turn their from

  469. their wicked ways. Now.

  470. Now this is what they got to get on.

  471. Elder Roseanne, this is not the cry from condemnation.

  472. So you just feel bad and you want God to wipe you off.

  473. You want God to heaven to just baby wipe you down and just get

  474. the dirt off you. No, this is not that.

  475. This is a cry from those that God is just undoing.

  476. I am not just crying out, but I am making choices that reflect

  477. my requirement of Him. Hey, you ready?

  478. You don't require the Lord and still choose to live in sin.

  479. So stop it. Every time you wake up, every

  480. time you come to church, the Lord is you are going.

  481. If you are pursuing God, you are also going to be pursuing.

  482. Having to make choices. Hallelujah.

  483. That's what I come to church for.

  484. Correct me Holy Ghost supposed to be like Lord, I need a word

  485. today. Do.

  486. You do you want the word he got for you though?

  487. Like most of your words you want is like direction with my next

  488. job. Lord, show me where I should

  489. move. It's always yo-yo.

  490. It's always about you. It's not about the word of

  491. alignment. It's the word.

  492. You just want a word of consumerism.

  493. You don't want a word that's that's like, Lord, yes, it's

  494. going to hurt to cut this off. Surgery hurts.

  495. That's why you need worship. It's your spiritual epidural.

  496. Don't hurt as bad when God's doing incisions and he's cutting

  497. stuff off. He doing life.

  498. Oh, he. Ain't you don't.

  499. No, no, no, no, no. That's why I praise him.

  500. A lot of times you might see us praising it's because he cutting

  501. instead of out. Just thank you, Jesus.

  502. It says if they cry out and turn from their wicked way, do we

  503. want to hear that part right? It's like they overcome by the

  504. word that they testimony and then we stop and start

  505. testifying, but we don't keep reading where it says they

  506. denied themselves right. We want the scripture add, you

  507. know, add unto me versus seek me first, right, we want we want

  508. God is able to do exceeding abundantly all above versus the

  509. scriptures up there be rooted in love.

  510. Hallelujah, here it is. Then will I hear from heaven.

  511. First thing, forgive their sin, then heal their land.

  512. It is hard to walk in the miracle when you live in

  513. condemnation. So I want you to know why God is

  514. saying turn. It's not really for him because

  515. for him He's already done his part to handle the sin.

  516. You ready while you're sinning He can look at you.

  517. You just having trouble looking at Him.

  518. It is hard to have a relationship with somebody you

  519. can't look at. Here it is.

  520. And heal their land. Whose land?

  521. Come on. Whose land?

  522. No, don't say it loud. Don't be scared.

  523. Come on, take ownership. Whose land?

  524. Look at your neighbor and say apparently this is our land.

  525. Look at, look at your other neighbors.

  526. Say apparently a part of the trouble in the land is is is on

  527. our. Clock.

  528. So so in other words, if if I want to see something done, then

  529. the change I want to see has to start within me.

  530. So that that's why I had to put alcohol down, because I wanted

  531. to see you free from it. You see how that worked?

  532. Right, you praying for you praying for your uncle to get

  533. off alcohol. So your your only sacrifice is I

  534. won't drink around him. But you still carry the spirit

  535. of alcoholism around you, right? And because you deal you full of

  536. condemnation, there's certain things you can't say with

  537. conviction. And oil is released from

  538. conviction. So you have no anointing to set

  539. the captives free in that area. Right you deal with porn, but

  540. you want your kids to get off of it ain't going to work.

  541. It's in the family. Hallelujah He preached and he

  542. preached and he preaching this morning.

  543. He preaching almost done with you, almost done with you if my.

  544. People. I love it.

  545. He calls me his people. And then he says heal their

  546. land. Are you going to get all

  547. political? Do something about it.

  548. Some changes come by discipline. Here it is.

  549. You ready? Some changes come by discipline

  550. and determination. Others come by dependency and

  551. desperation. Some changes come by discipline

  552. and determination. I'm so excited for all you

  553. discipline people who wake up at 4:30 in the morning.

  554. You're part of 4:30 AM club. Awesome.

  555. Woo. You're so determined.

  556. Right, you run across the country, that's for you.

  557. But when I need healing, I can't look at your muscles and and

  558. just all of a sudden be delivered.

  559. No muscles don't cast out demons, OK?

  560. You ain't got no no no spiritual muscle.

  561. Look, some stuff only comes out. And gets advanced through

  562. dependency and desperation. I hear you.

  563. I hear your prayer requests. But how desperate are you?

  564. I want my family. I want my.

  565. Friends, I want my city OK. What desperate measures are you

  566. willing to make? Stop making these deals with God

  567. because they bad deals. That's like.

  568. OK, I'm just going to pray louder, I'm going to go to

  569. church more and I'm going to give, but I'm not going to let

  570. go of the thing He wants me to let go.

  571. I'm not going to lie. Align my life the way He wants

  572. them to be aligned. The word does not change.

  573. The word changes you. The word will not change.

  574. I cried aloud to him with all my heart.

  575. Why do we keep seeing this, Elder John?

  576. We just read psalms like they're just beautiful poems, not paying

  577. attention to the depths of a Davidic people.

  578. And why God says that David, murderer, adulterous, is a man

  579. after God's own heart. I cried aloud to him with all my

  580. heart, and he answered me. Now my mouth overflows with the

  581. highest praise. So if there's the highest

  582. praise, there's the lower praise, if there's the highest

  583. praise, there's a, there's a regular praise there, there's a

  584. suffice, there's a praise that will do.

  585. There's a praise of if that's what you're going.

  586. To give me, I'll take it. Yet if I had closed my eyes to

  587. my sin, he said. It don't matter if I cried, if I

  588. close my eyes to my sin. The Lord God would have closed

  589. his ears to my prayer. But praise his rise to God, for

  590. he paid attention to my prayer and answered my He answered my

  591. cry. He answered my cry.

  592. I will forever praise this God who didn't close his heart when

  593. I prayed and never said no when I asked Him for help.

  594. He never once refused to show me his tender love.

  595. He's worthy of crying out to people.

  596. My cry is a weapon of warfare, not a whine of worry and care.

  597. My cry is a weapon of warfare. Every time I cry aloud, I don't

  598. need to see it or feel it. I know something's moving.

  599. I know something's shaking. I know something's turning

  600. around. I know something's transforming.

  601. I know that I know that I know that I know.

  602. Why do we have to see something or feel something to?

  603. Cry out to God. Lord God, unlock my heart.

  604. Lord God. Please unlock some of these

  605. people's lips and I will overcome.

  606. Wait a minute. Unlock my heart and unlock my

  607. lips. Wait a minute.

  608. Why both? Because some of y'all, some of

  609. y'all lips don't align with your heart and some of y'all heart

  610. don't align with your lips. They actually go together.

  611. The power is in the the unity of the lips and the heart.

  612. Which? With their lips they serve.

  613. Me. But their hearts far.

  614. From me unlock my heart, unlock my lips, unlock my heart, unlock

  615. my lips and I will overcome with my joyous praise.

  616. How he going to overcome with his joyous praise, passionate

  617. praise, his praise, the fervor for the source here it is for

  618. the source of your pleasure is not in my performance of the

  619. sacrifices I might offer to you like come to church.

  620. You like think you're doing something because you show up at

  621. church. You like, look, we're here today

  622. PT don't say nothing to me. I'm here.

  623. I'm a I'm fall asleep in church. Why you busting me out?

  624. I'm here. Right, why you keep asking us to

  625. serve more when I gave right? You see how you see how arrogant

  626. we are? We like I do this, so God should

  627. do that or I do this and he's just shut up.

  628. He said he understands that that that these things that we do is

  629. our reasonable service, but the source of God's pleasure.

  630. What does the source mean? Talk to me.

  631. The starting point, huh? Where it comes from, Call the

  632. roots one more from this side. I know this side.

  633. The power I like it. The power.

  634. The power of my pleasure is not in my performance.

  635. The source of your pleasure is not in my performance.

  636. Got to get it. So you can just calm down and

  637. stop thinking you like look you ready the non believer souls and

  638. reaps. Sowing and reaping is a

  639. principle. As long as the earth remains

  640. their seed, time and harvest, non believer can work that

  641. principle and they reap. Are you after a loving father,

  642. or a loving God, or a please Father?

  643. Which one? The source of your pleasure, O

  644. Lord, is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer

  645. to you. Let's see, the fountain of your

  646. pleasure, where something pours out from you, is found in the

  647. sacrifice of my shattered heart. Here, you ready?

  648. Some of y'all cannot walk in the freedom that God has for you,

  649. because you won't let you be broken.

  650. You're trying to keep it all together.

  651. With your. Hard heart, you ready?

  652. You ready for this? Some of you are OK today but you

  653. got bitter years ago about something not understanding when

  654. you open the door through bitterness.

  655. Bitterness planted something in your heart and said I can go

  656. now. It's like the bee leaves the

  657. sting. It's like the snake you, you

  658. didn't cut it up but when he bit you, he left venom in you.

  659. And there's some of y'all right now that God is trying to get to

  660. and you think you OK because you forgot when you let that thing

  661. in the door and when it came in, it did not need to stay because

  662. it left what it. Came to drop off the devil's not

  663. at work. It's what he planted when he was

  664. at work. And whatever happened in your

  665. life that that frustration, that bitterness, that anger, that

  666. unforgiveness in one season that you that you got over, you

  667. ready. Overcoming is different than

  668. getting over. Can y'all write that down,

  669. please? You, you know some of y'all.

  670. I could tell y'all. I could tell some of y'all on

  671. here. You, you, I'm over it now.

  672. That's not overcoming. You ever been over him until you

  673. saw him, right? Overcoming is like, I don't care

  674. if I see 10 of him. I'm I'm not just over.

  675. It I've overcome the baggage that him left, you write it

  676. down. Some of y'all haven't.

  677. I'm here to tell you. I'm here to tell you right now.

  678. You you thought you overcame. No, you just got over it.

  679. The healing is the the, the, the, the the fruit of being

  680. healed is you've overcome. You know, overcome is like I

  681. don't need to talk about it no more.

  682. I don't cringe when they walk in the room.

  683. I don't cringe when they phone number pop up on my phone.

  684. First of all, why do you have somebody in your phone still

  685. that you cringing at shattered heart?

  686. Some of you too prideful to let God to, to come in here and be

  687. like I'm broken. I actually need help.

  688. I'm a man and I didn't have a dad and and and and I thought I

  689. could do it by myself, but but it's hard.

  690. It's heavy. I'm trying to be a husband.

  691. I'm trying to be a boyfriend. I'm trying to be a son, but I I

  692. didn't have the example when the truth of the matter is I'm

  693. really scared. I don't know how to be a

  694. daughter. I don't know how to be a wife.

  695. I'm really scared. Instead, time has allowed us to

  696. get over it. And when you in order to get

  697. over something, you have to put something on that gives you a

  698. form of strength. Now the question is, is what did

  699. you put on? Was it pride?

  700. What did you put walls up you like?

  701. I'm never going to let nobody in, and if I do, I'm going to

  702. make sure they don't do that again.

  703. You ready? A healthy heart is one that can

  704. be broken and from the brokenness be strengthened.

  705. I don't have to put any walls up.

  706. I learned lessons and I make better decisions.

  707. A healthy heart when broken leads to greater communication.

  708. It doesn't. A broken heart should not steal

  709. your voice, he says. You will not despise my

  710. tenderness. As I bow.

  711. Down humbly at your feet. Pose with this statement in this

  712. passage. It is the cry on the lips of

  713. sons and daughters that release the heart of the Father on earth

  714. as it is in heaven. It is the cry on the lips of

  715. sons and daughters that released the heart of the Father on earth

  716. as it is in heaven. Isaiah 6 says this and one cried

  717. to another and said, oh so angels cry, you are on earth as

  718. it is in heaven. Angels cry.

  719. We sing the song right? And the angels cry right we.

  720. Sing that stuff. If angels are humble enough.

  721. Who? I just want to ask you who you

  722. think you are. The ones that help you crying

  723. out. The ones who get dispatched on

  724. your behalf. The ones that carry you from

  725. country to country on an airplane.

  726. The ones that keep cars away from you from crashing and

  727. getting injured. The angels cry.

  728. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.

  729. The whole earth is full of his glory.

  730. And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of

  731. him who cried. The foundations shook at the

  732. voice of him who cried. Here it is.

  733. And the house. I don't know about you all, but

  734. I'm I just get tired of regular. I want some folks that going to

  735. come to church and stir the thing up, light some matches and

  736. get the thing popping like turn it up like, but there's there's

  737. a level of glory we will never reach with three people crying

  738. out like I, I'm here to tell some of y'all, you are robbing

  739. me from a measure of God I want to experience because you come

  740. in here constipated, stuck up, prideful, fearful, and you

  741. holding on to stuff. And if you release your cry, I

  742. release my cry, and a few more people release their cry, then

  743. the room will be filled with His glory.

  744. And the house was filled with smoke or Shekinah glory.

  745. What? No kind of glory?

  746. It was shekinah glory. A lot of churches are settled

  747. with kind of glory, a form of godliness.

  748. But man, God wants to break out the real thing in this house.

  749. Then said I then said I then said I then said, Isaiah, for I

  750. am undone. When is it going to come to a

  751. point where you just like here I am?

  752. Aren't you tired? I'm talking to some of y'all.

  753. Aren't you tired? Do something.

  754. Respond that same here it is that same energy.

  755. You are begging your kids to change.

  756. I I I I I I I dare you to hand them over to the Lord full time

  757. and you let them experience the fruit of their actions and you

  758. turn that energy towards God and intercede.

  759. I don't I'm telling you, I don't care if it's five months, I

  760. don't care if it's a year. I don't care if it's ten years.

  761. I'm telling you why your kids is acting a fool.

  762. You going to have joy and strength and peace and they

  763. shall return. But I believe we're in a day and

  764. time that God is saying with expeditious answers, with, with,

  765. with, with expedient answers, with, with accelerated response

  766. time from heaven, that you will not have to wait long for your

  767. kids to return. Home.

  768. Just turn. That energy, see.

  769. Because here it is. You have made your children

  770. idols. Because what you're saying that

  771. the trouble they're in deserves your cry, but the one that's

  772. going to pull them out don't deserve that same energy.

  773. No, no, no, I'm not saying Anne. No, take them tears to the Lord.

  774. Take that passion to the Lord and just love on your kids.

  775. It says the kindness of God. What did anywhere in the Bible

  776. did it say the prodigal son's father was chasing him around

  777. was no, no, no. You want to live in sin.

  778. I'm going to let you want to make bad choices.

  779. Go ahead. And you still got a bed to come

  780. home too. The kindness of God.

  781. And I promise you they're going to eat the fruit that they send.

  782. They might come home with three teeth left, but they coming

  783. home. When they get.

  784. To heaven. Guess what, they're going to

  785. have full mouth, full grill restored in Jesus name.

  786. But if you. Want to walk around with STD's?

  787. You want to walk around with with with the fruit of your sin,

  788. You go right ahead, buddy, and see what kind of witness that

  789. is. But what I'm determined to do,

  790. my kids, I don't care what they do.

  791. I care what they you give what I'm saying, but they're not

  792. going to feel my peace. My kids ain't going to come

  793. between me and her. Me and her going to be spending

  794. time. You don't want to.

  795. You don't want to. Listen to us.

  796. That's OK. We going to cry out for you to

  797. the Lord but man Lord they're yours.

  798. You actually love them more than I do and Lord you know exactly

  799. what to pray right now I'm just being emotional.

  800. Some of you in Jesus name think your parenting or think your

  801. husbanding or think you're no hand them over to God.

  802. That's the best thing you could do and love them story parental

  803. love love them. But my mother and my brother is

  804. those who do my father's will. So right now you put me in a in

  805. in in in an awkward position because I can't parent you to

  806. weigh my heart desires. Now I have to.

  807. Intercede for you to weigh the Father's heart desires.

  808. The priority right now is not to become your friend to hopefully

  809. save you. The priority is actually draw a

  810. line so you can know God's way and not the way to please me.

  811. The Bible says I've come to cut. Between these domestic

  812. arrangements so I can have you for myself.

  813. One of the most frustrating things to the Lord is when he's

  814. coming to cut and you keep on trying to hold on to whoever

  815. it's for. He's coming.

  816. He's only come to cut so you and him can be closer pick up here

  817. Isaiah 6 in the next experience. I I whoever this is for is man.

  818. Can you let go let God trust him.

  819. Keep that same energy towards him.

  820. I know it's things you love and I know it's things that you

  821. brought into your life, but man, if it ain't God's way, it ain't

  822. no way. And when I got this cry out a

  823. week and a half ago, I just came to a point, man.

  824. I don't need to go into details of things that that I'm walking

  825. through. My wife is walking through.

  826. And but I was just sitting on the couch and I was like, I

  827. can't do this and I'm not. I'm not going to let this thing

  828. steal my joy and paralyze me from being up here.

  829. It is being available, Deborah, for those that actually will

  830. receive what I have to offer. Them being available for those

  831. that's going to take my love and do something with it.

  832. And this is family, this is friends.

  833. It don't matter if I'm trying to love on you and you constantly

  834. allowing the enemy to misconstrue my love and you

  835. taking me for granted. Nah, Nah, Nah, because there are

  836. people, blood and not blood, that are ready to receive what

  837. God's put in me to give in the earth.

  838. I only got so much time. I'm not going to let no little

  839. Rascal, I'm not going to let you the moment you prove that you

  840. don't want it on to the next I'm.

  841. Going to love you. I'm going to be here for you.

  842. I'm going to hug you. I'm not going to keep repeating

  843. myself. Whoever you are, you ready Lay

  844. down the idols of your blood. Do you think idols, some of you

  845. have laid money down, You've laid material things down.

  846. But there's some idols in your family, and that's what the

  847. Abraham test was. I bless you with a son.

  848. Are you willing to give them back?

  849. And because Abraham was willing to give up his son, God provided

  850. his own to the world. What are generations missing out

  851. on? Because you cling into something

  852. you think is yours? And really is God giving you a

  853. blessing? And what if God brought that

  854. person, that child into your life just so you can give them

  855. back? Here you is because you pray for

  856. them. Don't mean you give them to God.

  857. Abraham didn't, didn't, didn't pray Lord, here's your son.

  858. No, no, no, he he was ready to lay him down.

  859. And the Lord says, now I know kids, children, obey and honor

  860. your parents so that your days may be long.

  861. And if you don't have honor for your parents, there is the flip

  862. side of the promise that you are inviting hell into your life.

  863. And a lot of times you don't experience that hell until you

  864. get away from those that still took care of you while you

  865. dishonored them because they're still covering you.

  866. But I promise you, the devil got something lined up for you the

  867. moment you leave that house. Sometime I notice guys like

  868. hurry up and get them out the house so they can get this work,

  869. so they can hurry up and come back home.

  870. Prodigal son. No, no, go on ahead, give him

  871. the inheritance. Don't hit so he can hurry up,

  872. squander it and hurry up and come home.

  873. I will tell you either the world is going to humble you or you

  874. going to humble yourself. Whoever this is for today, God

  875. is crying out to you to put down whatever it is that you supposed

  876. to put down. And if it's hard to do it, then

  877. it means it's, it's, it's just what a sacrifice.

  878. God ain't asking for something you like.

  879. Absolutely. God want what you're withholding

  880. from him. It means something to you.

  881. I promise you you'd be one of the best decisions of your life.

  882. Lay it on the altar and respond so that your lips and your heart

  883. in a line. Lord, we thank you that the

  884. gates of hell shall not prevail. We thank you that you're an on

  885. time God. You're a faithful God.

  886. You're an awesome. Come on, you're an awesome God.

  887. You are a God that we could put our whole trust in.

  888. Lord we we become undone in this moment right now and Lord,

  889. without having to have something bad happen, Lord, we cry out.

  890. We need you, Lord God. Come on, you cry out aloud in

  891. Jesus name. Lord, we need you.

  902. you. I can't go forward without you.

  903. I can't walk out vision without you.

  904. I can't be strong without you. I can't love without you.

  905. I can't have the peace I need without you.

  920. and laborers to minister to our children, sin laborers into the

  921. harvest. Lord God, we call our children

  922. home now in the name of Jesus. May our children not be

  923. comfortable in sin, Lord God. Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

  924. Hallelujah. Yeah, House of Miracles is a

  925. house that cries. You want to see revival, humble

  926. yourself and make of necessity and cry out and crave the Lord.

  946. Our souls cry out. Lord God, Lord Jesus, as your

  947. heart cried out for us, we cry back to you.

  948. Deep cries out to deep, and we say thank you.

  970. I said I just want to I just want to add, add, add fuel to

  971. the fire. You know, Tony, you you know,

  972. the enemy's mad. He tried to take you out.

  973. It doesn't matter your age. You steal power in you right.

  974. A lot of people don't know he had a if I'm if I'm not, he had

  975. a stroke and it should not be 1. He bounced back from he had a

  976. stroke. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

  977. no, no. Claps will not take the place of

  978. revelation. This is last Sunday now, might

  979. you ask last Saturday? Saturday.

  980. I'd assume you get to a point where at your age you don't mind

  981. telling your age. I'm still struggling with

  982. telling my age 81. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

  983. Bring it down. Bring it down, Brady.

  984. On 81 8081, but Claude stroke he don't don't think the enemy

  985. wanted him here. That was his opportunity to

  986. interrupt legacy. Now mind you, if he would have

  987. been gone with the Lord, guess what he would have been gone

  988. with the Lord and and he would have got a well done but but

  989. some people don't know that his his daughter and and and

  990. son-in-law. They'll be ordained as our next

  991. set of elders. June 8th that's Brett and Stacy

  992. now now, now see y'all that that's y'all wanted to clap at

  993. something else. So so you know elder John and

  994. elder Roseanne right there so so Brett and Stacy raise your hand.

  995. God is. They they will be.

  996. Ordained as elders, June 8th. OK Yeah, yeah.

  997. And so, so since I'm on this kind of announced June 8th,

  998. there will be a 630 evening experience just for the

  999. ordination. If you've never been a part of

  1000. ordination anointing experience, you need to be here.

  1001. It's powerful, OK. Because when they get set, our

  1002. church gets stronger. OK, but but the correlation here

  1003. is that what what the enemy doesn't want to see is see them

  1004. see y'all before right? Because for parents like what,

  1005. what what like my my Mama, grandma saw me step in to pass.

  1006. Grandma didn't see me. You know, been beautiful.

  1007. Have grandma and auntie come to this church and see what God is

  1008. doing right. But enemy wanted that to then

  1009. discourage y'all. And then you discourage.

  1010. No, no, no, I, I, I'm just going to declare over you that you

  1011. will see them. You will see that baton passed,

  1012. right? And that's I just want the

  1013. younger people and everybody that's younger than I want you

  1014. to know that even when your body gives out on you, it can't stop

  1015. the presence of God that's been placed in you.

  1016. That it can't stop now. You know, they hear every week.

  1017. They hear on Wednesdays young people, so when they get in

  1018. trouble and they can't confess the word when they're out, the

  1019. word that they have put in them is still speaking.

  1020. And some of y'all think you can do your little minutes on

  1021. Sunday, but when you when you need God but can't call out to

  1022. them, the word still cries out. That's testimony, and you wonder

  1023. why they're here, Because they know the goodness of God.

  1024. Now what I understand is you don't have to have a stroke.

  1025. You don't have to go to the hospital to cry out.

  1026. You can cry out because what God did in their life and that will

  1027. give you. Strength.

  1028. So I want to just thank God. Thank you, Lord for keeping

  1029. them. Thank you Lord for keeping the

  1030. family. Lord, as we cry out, we say

  1031. thank you. We thank you for a double

  1032. portion in their family. Lord God, we thank you that the

  1033. devil is defeated. In the name of Jesus, we thank

  1034. you. What the enemy has meant for

  1035. evil, you're about to use it for good.

  1036. In the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord God, that

  1037. strokes are taken out of their bloodline.

  1038. Disease is taken out of their bloodline, unclogged, the blood

  1039. clogs in their bloodline. In the name of Jesus.

  1040. We thank you that their labor of love is not in vain.

  1041. We thank you that they shall live and not die in Jesus name.

  1042. Then the last one we needed. We needed fifty.

  1043. We we were breaking this money down.

  1044. Because sometimes people get overwhelmed.

  1045. We needed fifty grand last week and we're trying to get 50 grand

  1046. this week. Or the work stops and last week

  1047. the work did stop and I had to deal with that.

  1048. Y'all didn't have to deal with that right?

  1049. The work did stop. Church didn't stop.

  1050. The word didn't stop. Disciples should have didn't

  1051. stop. But you can't expect people to

  1052. keep on going and working and we ain't and that's totally fine.

  1053. The church is not going to close down we.

  1054. Going to be right here, right here, OK?

  1055. There's a lot of work over there.

  1056. You can go see your money at work over there right now, OK?

  1057. And then last week, this past week, we we needed 50 grand and

  1058. 60 grand came in. Now, now it wasn't 60, it was 70

  1059. grand, OK, But not everything that come in, I'm going to be

  1060. like, oh, that's for the remnant.

  1061. No, it is that that's the building.

  1062. And then we still got a lot of other stuff to take care of.

  1063. OK, now that was last week. And I will say the majority of

  1064. that, I would say 98% of that came from just a few people.

  1065. Praise God, right? There's just a few people who

  1066. got the revelation who made a sacrifice and and was generous.

  1067. Now there's way more people than three people in here and I

  1068. believe God wants to move on some other people's hearts,

  1069. right? And, and those three people or a

  1070. few people that gave, guess what, they can use that for

  1071. something else. And they got goals, and they got

  1072. families and they got dreams and they got businesses and they got

  1073. all that. OK, so don't come saying what

  1074. you don't got. Say, Lord, how do you want to

  1075. use me? Here it is crying out.

  1076. When you get that sacrifice, guess what I said Cry out.

  1077. OK. And so this week we need to do

  1078. it again. Amen.

  1079. And I'm believing that several more people is going to make

  1080. that happen. And I love the words of the

  1081. people that gave. They came to me and he was like

  1082. here and they said we standing with you, we believe in with you

  1083. and we will not allow the work to stop.

  1084. I know, I know, I know. But for me?

  1085. To carry that and have somebody say, no, I believe in the vision

  1086. and I'm standing with you, not just with my mouth, but I am

  1087. going to use my influence and my resources because I can

  1088. understand the burden and I'm going to carry it with you.

  1089. And so we going to do it again this week.

  1090. I just, I was just testifying that it came in and the work

  1091. will continue. Why?

  1092. Because it came in. So what you doing, Pat?

  1093. What you doing, Pastor T? I'm just making hell mad.

  1094. That's it. I'm just, and I'm just letting

  1095. you know that with or without whoever, God's going to touch

  1096. somebody and God's going. To do it, this house is going to

  1097. be built, OK. And so I want to testify and I

  1098. want to encourage you to give. And if you have to choose

  1099. between giving to us from giving to me for my birthday or the

  1100. remnant. So into the remnant, OK, Not me.

  1101. OK, Thank you. I love you and we will continue.

  1102. I'm not going to close. I'm not going to even say get

  1103. your love fix. You know what it is?

  1104. We have announcements. Pay attention on social media.
