The Year of the Fear of God - 4.27.2025 (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.

Hey man, you can be seated in the presence of the Lord.

The Lord is here. Hey, man, really quickly before

we go any further, I just want to pause and, you know, give

some attention to that terrorist attack that happened right here

in Canada, not in America, not in another part of the world

right here. And at the I want to, I want to

pray for the Filipino community families that lost.

I mean, that's what 20 families and 60 people injured and

countless people now traumatized.

And what we do understand is that all these all attacks,

every work of the enemy is to produce fear.

And and I think the reason it's important for Canada to focus on

itself is because the worst kind is when you ignore what's

happening in your own backyard and act like your backyard don't

got no poop in the grass. Because then there instead of

stewarding that is not as bad or stewarding what God has blessed

this country with. We want to remove the arrogance

out of the culture That was a racist act.

There is racism in this country. There is racism here in

Vancouver, racism in BC, violence, Whether you fly a

plane into a building or drive cars through a gathering, you

can't. There's no difference.

What that speaks to is there are people that are sick and there's

people that are hungry and thirsty or healing, and then

there's a God who desires to touch a city, but he can't do

that aside from his church. To me, when I see stuff like

that, I'm like, that's a call to the church that that that's

important to understand how important discipleship is.

That's why Wednesday night is important.

That's why prayer meeting is important.

All of our gatherings is as a collective unit.

We are bombarding when the word goes forth, we're bombarding

have hell. When when, when worship goes

forth, we're bombarded. When we fast, we're bombarding.

Wednesday night, Sunday night, Saturday prayer doesn't matter.

Rehearsals doesn't matter. It's all penetrating darkness

because we wrestle not against flesh and blood.

So there's no amount of money you make that is going to

penetrate darkness. What your money can contribute

to is equipping more people to penetrate darkness, right?

And so we want to pause for a moment, remember the families,

and pray. And then one last thing I want

you to pray for is laborers that you will go from a lukewarm

Christian to get on the front lines.

All we need is 2 more today to make their mind up that they're

going to take the gospel serious.

Just two, just two. And if we get 20, that's

awesome. Just two, two people in this

room that's going to say, you know what?

I'm I'm actually going to do this thing and I am going to get

rooted in my church. Thank God we go to an equipping

church. Hey, man, Patty cake, Patty cake

bakers man. All right.

Now we don't equip people to stand in front of cars.

That's come like that's not what we equipment for, but we are

equipping people how to pray. We are equipping people to learn

that when they're in the marketplace, they could they

they can get a word from the Lord.

They can be used by God. You never know, somebody might

be you might be in the elevator with a terrorist and just your

awareness of that and you can speak a word to that person and

they can repent to the Lord before that be right before you.

That's that's the kind of stuff God wants to do.

Big interventions not like get you a bonus and a raise.

You see, what we spend our prayer time on is Lord bless me

to get in that college. Well, how about bombarded in

heaven and hell to to, to, to, to, to, to, to stop the enemy's

plans to kill, steal and destroy.

Now one person has been used to to, I don't want to say destroy,

but for sure disrupt. Thousands of people's lives.

And so let's take 60 seconds and let's, as we take this moment of

silence, we're praying for the families, for our city.

Thank you, Jesus, heal those families.

Lord, you're working everything together.

We're good. 20 more seconds. Thank you Jesus. 5 Jesus name.

Well, let's take a second and sing Worthy.

Worthy is the Lamb. And if there's anyone in here

that is Filipino community, I I want you to know that you are a

beautiful human being just as you are.

There's nothing wrong with your features.

There's nothing wrong with your heritage.

There's nothing wrong with your country.

And when I say there's nothing wrong, I mean you have nothing

to be ashamed of or wish yourself out of being who God

made you to be. You are fearfully and

wonderfully made. And I will encourage you by

saying that God will use what the enemy meant for evil, and I

promise you He will turn it for good.

Amen. We wrestle not against flesh and

blood. We must understand that there's

an invisible battle that requires engagement.

You don't get to forfeit this battle.

You will either be a victim of the battle or you will be a

participant in the already won victory of this battle.

There's principles and rules of this engagement.

You're not just engaging in a battle, you are engaging in A1

battle. OK, but in order to experience

the victory, you have to engage in the battle.

You don't even get to put off your part on someone else.

Now I can experience your victory, but you will experience

your loss. You can let someone else set up

chairs for 40 years. Same person.

They are going to experience the blessing you going to miss out

on it. Every person in here.

Here's an opportunity for you to not only make a decision to walk

and walk with and follow the Lord and change your life and

take these principles and rules of engagement so that you can

not only be victorious yourself, but the testimony of your

victory will lead others into victory.

OK, you have an opportunity today as you gather once again

to take notes, to lean in and. Be.

Equipped for the battles you will be confronted with this

week, 100% of the people in this room will engage in warfare, but

will 100% take this equipping, face the enemy, withstand him

and experience the one victory. I try my best to follow the

Lord, be LED, walk with. And so there's moments I try to

pay attention to and I paid attention to.

We were talking about so rude. That was the topic, so rude for

about, oh, maybe a month, something like that.

And then the last time we talked about so rude.

I don't know if you were here at that experience, but something

happened in the room. That was when service the

experience ended when it was just steel.

It was quiet. People were floored.

They were on their knees. Anybody remembered?

I just need two people, OK. And then the following week was

Easter and as I began to think about man, what are we going to

talk about next? I have plenty to talk about new

stuff, old stuff, because what I saw two weeks ago and when when

it was just like it was nothing else to talk about, God broke

through in the so rude message. So so that would that that kind

of was like, it's over. And I went back yesterday and

was like, OK, and I kind of had something like a week ago or

what else you do. And I'm like, OK, never in

history have I repeated a series in the same year.

But then God said, you're not just repeating something.

We actually don't retain as much as we're required to, right?

One reason we, we, we, we, we talk.

You get a lot of word. Wait.

But what I've noticed about the culture is just like we, we come

to church and we go. But the word is meant to lead to

glory, to glory, right? Here's glory to glory.

If you're here really absorbing what's happening in the room.

If I see you here every week for three months, your facial

expressions to go to another level of glory.

Right, some of y'all come in here and look the same, like

how's that possible right? Because Revelation is a light

like like to get revelation to encounter.

God, it's let me let me do it this way.

Everybody let me I just this is the culture we in everybody in

here has been turned on immediately.

You just thought sex buy something ice cream, steak,

vacation. Anybody been turned on before?

Turn. Raise your hand.

OK, and then some of y'all in church before the Lord lying

because you think it's just sex that you turn on.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Some of some of you that you get

turned on by getting out of church early, like all kind of

stuff. You, you know, clothes turn you

on. It's a good perfume or Cologne.

Come on, expand your brain, right?

Something has excited you. OK, here we go.

I love the I love, I love this screen.

It's just prophetically speaking, like God is going to

do something very, very colorful in your life this year.

Hallelujah. It is 2025 and we got I'm sorry,

but I'm just saying. This is the Equipping church.

Sorry guys, this is the Equipping church.

OK, Hallelujah. All right, so laugh now because

where we going? You might not be laughing, OK,

so just laugh. Get the laughs in while you can.

OK, so. Look, it's, it's been this way

for a while, but the Lord was like I told you what this year

is supposed to be. And I think the, the, the theme

of the year is so vital. It has to stay before the

people. Although almost everything we've

talked about should have led you to it or relate, relate but but

man you, you got to really like this has to be a manifestation

in your life, OK? The fear of God is the key to a

endless vault of victories. And I'm saying like the fear of

God looks a certain way. I'm I'm here to tell you the

answer to every issue in your life.

This is the key to every issue. It what does every mean?

All every what's left after every nothing.

That means if you can get this embedded in your life, there is

nothing left but victory. If this is in your life,

rejection hit different, loss hit different, promotion hit

different, identity hit different, worship hit

different, your walk hit different, what you think of

yourself hit different. How you love hits different.

This is the master key. Like we we're in a world with

with so many options. So you come to God wanting

options. Here's here's how.

Here's our God. So, so so what's the

commandment? Here's what Jesus says love they

like, can you give me more? Moses gave us 10.

Now mind you, there was a few 100 commandments, not just 10.

That was just the the pillars of the of the commandments.

There was lots and lots and lots of commandments.

Jesus says who needs all those options?

If you love God and they love your neighbor as you love

yourself, you fulfill all of them.

So who in their right mind would be like, Nah, I want to follow

300? Right, If you find the guy or

the gal with the master key on a huge campus, like the teacher

got a key to the to the main door, the lunch room, and they

roam, man, the janitor. That's how you hear the janitor

coming. And Laura says the people got to

get this. The fear of God is not.

Let's just start here. The fear of God is the essential

key to a endless vault of victory.

God desires to build. Now, some of you will remember

to be like, oh, yeah, I remember that New Year's Eve.

God desires to build an unshakeable house.

Come on, let's say that together God desires.

That is an unwavering immovable Davidic people and place that

stands the test of the times. It doesn't matter what changes,

everything will change. This community is changing.

Y'all pulled up. Guess what's out there?

Paid parking now I count that as a blessing.

Things is getting developed around here.

They are upgrading this community.

Hey, hey, yesterday's price ain't today's price, right?

Guess what, they can't just park on the street like that no more.

So they get to God is cleaning up the community.

Some of y'all got to stop screaming because the people

that don't like making no noise looking at you like you crazy.

Like what they excited about Revelation?

Somebody say revelation two we might start charging the parking

the in the in our parking lot. Amen.

All proceeds go to the remnant project.

Amen. You going to give Amen.

Hallelujah. Hey man just on that note real

quick I need y'all to give 100% today the the plumbing is

inspection pass right? There, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Somebody say we close, Hallelujah, we're going to do

this thing. We're going to do this thing.

All right, let's get to this word.

Keep that same energy, Hallelujah.

Keep that same energy. That was that strategic drop

right there. Amen.

Hallelujah. Keep that same energy,

Hallelujah. God desires to build an

unshakeable house. That's why it's taking us so

long. Not just because such folks, not

you know what I'm saying, but God desires to build an

unshakeable house. That means unwavering people,

immovable Davidic people and place that stands the test of

the times. You know how people say if you,

if you made it through New York, being raised in New York, you

can make it anywhere, right? Let me tell you something.

We are a garage people. If you can make it through the

garage, you can make it anywhere.

Come on, you can make it. You can make it through the

winters, the cold. The like, like show me a church.

That you see when you when you stream and you see, you see, you

see, you see heat lamps and all that.

Come on, talk to me. And the, the the little tops

look like church Mama hats. Here we go.

Let's go. All right, All right.

I think we I think the the the epidural, the what's the thing?

When you get your teeth, when you're getting ready to get

surgery in your mouth, Huh. Huh.

Huh. Epidural.

We'll just go with epidural. We'll go with epidural.

I know we about to OK it. I think it has the when they put

the numbing stuff on your mouth and right.

I think it has settled now we can now we can start poking

around. OK, you ready?

Let's poke. OK, here we go.

OK, OK, OK. It's over.

It's over. You cannot hide from God.

But you can be lost in yourself. This is very important for where

we're going. God is everywhere.

I'm telling you that we're in a time where your secrets.

Will be exposed. Your private life will be

exposed. Here it is.

Most importantly, your allegiance will be tested.

Some of y'all is lukewarm Christians.

And that is going to be called. To the carpet you cannot hide

from God, but you can be lost in yourself.

There is an actual image. There is a perceived image.

Think that's the next slide. If you don't tell me, I think I

think our, our pro presenter team be smoking weed sometime.

I swear. I think some of the oh, I'm just

saying I'm gonna come come on. Actual projected and perceived.

See, I've built the bridge. I could joke around with them.

They know I love them. They know I love them.

Don't try this at home, OK? Don't try this.

There is an actual image. There is a projected image and

there's a perceived image. I'm looking and talking to

everybody in here, OK, in this world that we were in, most of

us probably especially on Instagram live in a project and

in church projected image. You project what you want people

to think you are. You project that you, you got

everything put together. You project that you know what

you're talking about. You project that your marriage

is great. You project right?

There's an actual it it, This is who you really is.

And then there's this projected, this facade.

This is who you want people to think you are, right?

Adam and Eve in the garden, put them fig leaves on.

They tried to act like they wasn't naked.

Even if you put the fig leaves on, you're still naked.

OK. And then there's perceived.

It's how people perceive you. It's how you perceive yourself.

Now, in all, it is. We have probably lost ourselves

and on a day-to-day basis when you go to work, when you're on

Instagram, there's a lot of projecting who you are.

And as long as you live in a projected image, you don't know

who you actually are. God has given every one of us an

actual image and likeness and purpose and identity, and you

will never find yourself outside the fear of God.

Most of us have found our identity on the road of the fear

of man. That's cultural fear not being

accepted. So I sound like I look like what

I. Feel and I project what I feel

will be accepted and in that we have gotten so far from who God

has created us to be, right? The enemy is going to always

sell you a bootleg version of yourself.

And the bootleg version will sound and seem better than the

authentic you because it's quicker to get to.

It's easier to be bootleg, it's cheaper, so a lot of people love

you for your projected image, and then you get locked into

being afraid of being who you really are.

Right. Here's the days we're in.

They may pretend to have a respectful God.

But in reality, they want nothing to do with God's power.

Stay away from people like these.

See when God tells you stay away from something, what you think

you should do Now how many things that we got closer to, he

said stay away from because we was like God.

You don't know what you talk about.

Just watch. Just watch.

God, watch me change them. God I know this marriage.

Just God I know. Watch.

Just watch. That is very clear.

Stay away from people like these.

They may pretend to have a respect for God.

I love our discipleship meeting yesterday because one of the

things I shared, if you really pay attention to Jesus, Jesus

did not waste his energy on people.

He was not called to Hallelujah. Understand this wasted energy is

wasted life. He did not waste his time with

people. He even said in his last

conversation with the Lord, he said I've been faithful over the

ones you gave me. He said I'm not praying for

them, I'm praying for the ones you gave me.

He even shortened his prayer list.

No, no, no, no, here, here it is.

I'm not praying for you. If you are an obvious rebellion,

well, I'm praying for you. I know how prayer works.

Why would I pray for an? Action that works against the

word that's a waste of that's a waste of energy.

It's like praying for the devil. Lord, please send the laborer to

the devil so you can save Satan. That's the evil prayer.

So somebody that blatantly chooses to ignore the wisdom of

God, you have to surrender them to God.

Preserve your energy and sow it somewhere else.

OK, let me, let me help you. If if a seed deserves

nourishment, then you do too. You actually deserve to see

fruit from your seeds. So understand the value and

you'll see. So they may Who are you in here?

You may pretend to have respect for God.

I'm going to go to church. Here it is.

I'm not going to cuss that church.

I'm I'm I'm going to be rude at home.

I'm going to be a nasty attitude person at work and when I get to

church and I serve, Hey, how you doing?

Welcome to love quest. God bless you, pretend to

respect God, but don't want to have nothing to do with the

power of God that transforms your life, changes your

conversation, change the way you think, change the way you walk,

change the way you look. You don't want to have nothing

to do with the power of God. You want to respect them by

doing the religious acts, but not let the power of God change

your life, he says. Stay away from those people.

Here it is holding a form of outward godliness, although they

have denied its power, for their conduct nullifies their claim of

faith. And if you.

Read the the the verses before that.

It talks about perilous times. So what I just read you is a

sign that Jesus is very close to returning.

This is a sign that we are in what you would call the last

days. Here it is.

Please pay attention. By now a crowd of many thousands

had gathered around Jesus. So many people pushed to be near

him, they began to trample one another.

Jesus turned to his disciples. And what?

What is that in the yellow? Come on, shout.

It out when Jesus warns somebody, what is he doing?

Warning somebody. Hallelujah.

That's the very easy answer. Hallelujah.

OK, he warned them. It's what no April Fool's joke

warned them. Here's the warning.

Beware of hypocrisy of the Pharisees, the religious, the

church. It permeates everything they do

and teach. Like leaven, a little bit of

leaven. Here it is, a little bit of

dishonor, a little bit of rebellion, a little bit of

pride, a little bit of arrogance.

It contaminates everything in your life.

Who's doing this Warning Jesus. He knows you better than you

know yourself. Make a choice now to believe

them. If you're lukewarm, it impacts

every area of your life. If you're double minded, the

Bible says you're double minded in all your ways.

Even your commitments are lukewarm.

And what he's saying is it may be fine for a moment, but as

long as that leaven is in there, as long as that doubt, long as

that double mindedness, long as that bitterness, as long as that

unforgiveness, as long as that hate, anger, rage, as long as

that rebellion is in there, the enemy has a foothold.

And at any given time, the strategies, the strategies of

the enemy has legal right to destruct your life.

This isn't about you thinking you got it all together.

That's the grace of God. Your life has not imploded.

It is not you. It is the grace of God that is

giving you time, that is giving you moments, that is giving you

word, that is giving you relationships.

He's giving you time to turn and you keep taking His grace in

vain. Leave the person, leave the

relationship, put the drugs down, put the alcohol, get the

help you need, Put the pride down.

Let the insecurity go. It's 11 that that insecurity

will destroy godly, God divine relationships.

And you're wondering how did I end back up here again?

Because you never got the Levin. Now you keep modifying behavior.

It's awesome that you go to therapy.

Are they using the word? Therapy can help you cope and

modify the word delivers sets free.

If some of you super heady, smart, educated people really

think you're smarter than God, that's why you're stuck with the

same fruits of your trauma because you think that it's just

going to go away. It don't just go away.

When the enemy has a foothold, it don't just go away.

If you don't deal with the strong man, they don't just go

away. If you avoid accountability, it

don't just go away. If you choose who you want to

hold you accountable versus who God ordained to hold you

accountable, it don't just go away.

God gives pastors after His own heart.

Everything hidden and covered up will soon be exposed.

Now see this This is a prophetic word that has to come to pass.

This is also a word pointing to a time in history, a in

humanity. We're in the time.

So what I'm telling you right now is I'm laying the background

of the time we're in and then I'm giving you the answer to

thrive in this time. It will be exposed, for the

facade is falling down, the enemies being exposed, the

powers that be are being exposed, the religious

gatekeepers are being exposed, the strong man is being exposed.

It's all being exposed. Why not for pure mere judgment?

God has a plan to get his bride and his children home.

There's no transformation without exposure.

There's no clear photos without exposure.

You got to get in the dark room, you got to get exposed and

you're going. To come out clear and nothing

will be kept secret for long. See, God is so gracious, He

gives us all time. How long you going to have that

excuse? How long you going to point the

finger? How long here it is?

Whatever you have spoken in private will be public knowledge

and what you have here it is, here it is, here it is.

Have a little revelation knowledge real quick.

It doesn't mean that God's going to tell somebody that going to

tell everybody over the microphone.

It means that your private dysfunction.

Is going to become your public reality.

So we going to see the fruit of how Christian you really is.

We going to see the fruit of how much you really follow Jesus.

Huh. Yeah, and I just so y'all know

that was a laugh like that. Yeah, we about to see.

And what you have whispered secretly behind closed doors

will be broadcast far. And wide for all to hear.

Listen, my beloved friends, Don't fear those who may want to

take your life but can do nothing more.

Don't fear culture. Don't fear man, don't fear the

government. It's.

True. That they may kill your body,

but they have no power over your soul.

The fear of God is not scared of God.

It's not timid of God, it's not hesitant toward God, it's not

worried before God, and it's not falsely humble with God.

It's none of these because God said come to my throne boldly.

Come to my throne boldly. Come to me.

There's another passage in Isaiah, I believe it says put me

in remembrance of your marriage. In other words, talk to me with

my words, OK? God says, talk to me with what I

say about you. Talk to me like you believe me.

Talk to me scared of God, timid of God, hesitant toward God,

worry before God, na na falsely humble with God.

That's not the fear of God. The fear of God actually imparts

a supernatural courage in boldness that cannot be achieved

through. Accomplishments.

Accolades. You have some of the most

confident athletes, actors, actresses, businessmen and women

in the world. But behind closed doors, they

don't want to live no more. This is a.

Confidence. Money can't buy you.

This is a confidence that aceo role in a company cannot buy

you. This is a confidence that no

promotion can buy you. Here we go, Ecclesiastes.

All has been heard. The end of the matter is you can

say all that you want to say. You can read the 66 books you

can do. You can go all the church you

want to. You can go to all the Bible

college. You want to Fear God.

Wonder why pastors fall by the wayside and cheat on their wives

and cheat on their husbands. Fear God.

You know why? People are falling away from the

faith. Fear God.

People respected God like they respect the Pope, like they

respect Muhammad, like they respect Buddha.

You've made God a man, and you have respect for him.

He's become merely who you don't curse around, which speaks to

your ignorance because he's always around.

You're afraid of man because the only person you're trying to

keep secrets from is the people you respect, their opinion if

you get busted. So as long as PT don't know,

then that's all that matter. Long as my Mama don't know,

that's all that matter. But God know, which says that

you care more about man than you do God's opinion fear God,

Revere and worship Him, knowing that He is, and keep His

commandments. For this is the whole of man

before original purpose of his. You.

Want to find purpose? Don't.

Don't spend $5000 on another seminar yet.

You want to know your purpose? Original purpose.

You're God. Too simple, huh?

You're God. Boom.

How much money did I just save you?

Right? If you want to spend some money,

spend money on the book that can teach you more.

About the fear of God, you're God Revere.

Consider. In all your ways, acknowledge

Fear God. Somebody say fear God.

This is the whole of man. This, this is what this is what

makes us watch this. This is the.

Object of God's Providence. This is the root of character,

the foundation of all happiness, all happiness not happy from.

A paycheck not happy from having a boyfriend, not happy from

having a girlfriend, not happy from vacation, not happy from

this is the foundation of all happiness.

So in other words, if I have the foundation of the fear of God,

my happiness cannot be taken the adjustment to all.

This is this is good right here, this is good.

This is the fear of God is the adjustment to all in harmonious

circumstances and conditions under the sun.

What is He saying here? From what I gather here, it is

the adjustment. Anything that is out of place

that God meant to be in place, the fear of God will always

realign it. I am talking to some of y'all.

Tell your neighbors, stop talking to me right now, Todd,

stop talking to me right now. Anything that is out of order in

my life, the fear of God will realign it.

If there's chaos in your life, check the fear of God radar in

your heart, the adjustment to all inharmonious, Everything

that is inharmonious, everything that is in chaos in this world,

it's because the world don't fear God.

And the whole day, let me tell you where my life got crazy.

Lack the fear of God. I was wild.

Went to church though on Sunday. Let me tell you first hand, I

went to church. I grew up in church.

All I knew was church. But I saw choir members sleeping

with each other. I saw choir members a part of

domestic violence. I saw deacons cheating around

drinking. Respect God though knew the word

shouted on Sunday. Hallelujah, salvation in glory.

Look good on. Sunday I saw it so you could

actually come to church. My question is, Anne, and you

can be so prideful in the work you do in the name of Jesus, but

you. Can't write your own Bible?

The Lord says be rooted in the church.

The Lord says to be submitted in the House of God, submitted to

those who God has put in your life.

Lord says honor, forgive all these things and the whole duty

for every man, the whole duty. This is the central.

Key to a year of. Awe and wonder it is.

It is everything. It's simple, somebody say to

yourself, I need not to your neighbor, to yourself.

I need to simplify my life. I need to get it down to one key

right now if you. Had 30 keys and somebody said

hey, you can throw those away. Take one.

How many people in here would take that offer?

Right? Whoever hand is a race,

understand you like chaos. Amen.

That's OK. Hallelujah.

There's just one key you guys, I don't think we serve a father

who wants his children living in chaos.

And I think that's why they were frustrated, because the

Pharisees, they, they, they want to come with all these.

Rules and Jesus was like y'all tripping just.

Love, LOVE. That's it.

Just love. And you wonder why the enemy is

working overtime to water down love.

Because we think what love is. Just this little love is the

most powerful force on earth because it is here.

Here's how. Here's how powerful love is.

God says that's who he is. God didn't say I'm chef.

God is chef. He didn't say God is miracle

worker. He says God is love.

Here we go, Proverbs One says this, the reverent fear of the

Lord that is worshipping him that that's not.

Hallelujah, salvation. That's not what that's talking

about. Now this is great.

It's even greater when you actually fear Him.

That's how sometimes you see people crying.

You see people on their knees. Not everybody on their knees

worship Him, though. Some people on their knees feel

sorry for their circumstance or feel bad or shame that that I'm

talking about moving past shame and moving past all of that and

being so floored by the revelation of the love of God,

worshipping him and regarding him as truly awesome.

Like God is awesome, right? We think restaurants are

awesome. Anybody know any awesome

restaurants? Anybody know any awesome

vacation destinations? Anybody know any awesome people?

Right now the question is what makes you?

Deem them as awesome. Talk to me.

Awesome restaurant. Why is the restaurant so

awesome, huh? Their service, their their food,

huh? Yeah, the experience, right?

See how detailed you this right? Now here's here's the crazy

part. Now, if I say what makes you

think God is awesome, you would probably relate his awesomeness

to something he's done for you, right?

His awesomeness doesn't come from you knowing him, right?

I know he's awesome because he healed you.

I don't need Him to heal me for me to worship Him in His

awesomeness. Now if I can take your testimony

and make it the basis in which while I know Him and worship

Him, if what you went through happens to me, I go in with a

working knowledge that He is the same yesterday, today and

forevermore versus trying to get to know Him in the valley in the

situation. Here's what the whole Bible is

for. It's the point to his who He is.

This is why He says He is. I am.

Who should I tell Him? Tell them I am all that then

some. It's starting point.

It's a starting. It says.

It says Reverend and Worshipful fear regarding him as truly

awesome is the beginning. Somebody say the beginning.

Come on, tell me what the beginning is.

It's the start. It's the beginning, huh?

Is it? The Bible starts with what?

In the what beginning? And it's the preeminent part.

What's the preeminent part? The highest, most important.

So what we're reading is very important because it's the

beginning. If I want to start, I better get

this. If I want to place my values on

the highest most important thing, I want to get this.

It says the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge.

Now This is why you all. Read so much.

This is why you go to seminars. This is why you ask questions,

because, because wisdom and knowledge is very important.

This is why people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars

to go to school to get some knowledge they hope to get paid

for. OK, so we're not talking about

book knowledge right here, we're talking about heaven.

It's the starting point and it's essence, the knowledge of God

and the wisdom of God begins. So if you don't have a fear of

God, do you know how much you're being cut off from knowing about

God? How can you know him You like I

can't hear from him because you just want something.

You don't want him? No, this is very important,

people. This is very important.

This is very important. This is very important.

You don't have to go to a conference on how to hear from

God. If that conference don't open up

with if you don't get nothing else, if you don't get the fear

of God and all these principles and practices to hear from God

is not going to work. And if it don't if, if it, if it

works, it's only temporary. It's like hit or miss.

Right. Do you know what a hit?

Or miss hear from God mean it's it's like you going to be off.

Track somewhere and you going to frustrate your faith because

you're going to be like, well, God did that back there.

Why he didn't do it here. Here it is now, I'm not saying

this is you. You choose which one you

currently are, OK, The Bible says the arrogant food they're

they're going to they're going to.

Stupid Carpenter again, but arrogant fools despise skillful

and godly wisdom and instruction and self.

See, godly wisdom ain't always comforting, especially when you

want your way. Godly wisdom could just simply

be like, yeah, that, that's that.

That's not a good relationship to be in because of ABCDEFG.

HIJKLMNOPQRS, you get what I'm saying?

Like all the reasons is there. Like like.

Full. Stop all the stuff that you guys

are waking up every day looking to find out, figure out, know,

understand, want. Here's the key.

Can you at least give God like 3?

Key. Can you leave 3 keys at the

altar today? Like this is one key.

Like this is your focus. This is the whole of man and

then and then and then you wonder why certain people walk

around like a with a treasure of revelation from God.

It begins. I'm I'm pretty sure if you

follow them home and see how they conduct their lives you

will see this. Watch it, watch it, watch it,

watch it. Here it is.

Here it is. Great question right here.

Great question. I got a question for you guys,

OK? Straight from straight from

straight from here, straight from home.

OK. Do you want a pleased father or

just a loving God? That's a big question.

Most. People just want this right

here. Forgive me, Lord, you're so

good. You didn't.

You didn't curse me. You didn't.

You didn't judge me. Oh oh Lord, after all I did last

night, you still. Good, loving God, that's all you

want. You know you can go to church

and God's still not pleased with you.

Do you know you can give to the Remnant Project and God still

not be pleased with you? You know you can sing and

worship and God still not be pleased with you.

You know that, right? This is why I don't care how

many people I appreciate it when you say PT.

That was a good word. But only I know if I was

obedient to say what he told me to say.

And if I'm, if I'm disobedient, guess what?

Father's not pleased. And why?

Why is it important to make sure that God's pleased first?

Because the joy of the Lord is my strength.

Strength. Comes from knowing he's pleased

with me. And how do I know he's pleased

with me? Because I do what he say do.

Do you want a pleased father? That's a real question for you

to ask. Or you just want a loving God.

You just want somebody that's just going to forgive.

Well, you forgave. You don't got to do nothing.

You can go out here and just sin, sin, sin.

And guess what? You forgave, gave, gave.

You forgave my assignment today. And for those that are double

dipping, you will be highly blessed as we go further into

this message. But it's to get their attention.

The Lord gave me these instructions get their attention

on me. Keep their attention on me so

they can fix their affections in me.

You don't know what God's after your affections.

Who has your affections right now?

What has your affections right now?

What has that energy, that life giving force affection?

What? What is it you delight in?

Who is it you delight to be pleased with?

You, right? What are you doing to get

somebody's approval? So you make the Lord, please.

He'll even make your enemies be at peace with you so they can

fix their affections in me. Here it is.

Your affections will become your compass.

Whatever you are affectionate about, it will steer you and you

will spend a lot of time on what you're affectionate about and

not time on what God is affectionate about.

It's a time, the time we're in, of divine design.

The power of God will rest on and in houses and people that

pattern their lives after the Davidic design of the Kingdom of

God. The time we're in, the only

thing that will work and sustain under the pressures of darkness

is what God designed for your life.

Here's why He says, and these guys say He's going to judge

everything with fire and the only thing that will be

remaining is what was built that He has called you to design

right now. If your whole life was brought

to the Lord and He examined it, how much stuff will be left in

your hands? It's a time of divine design.

It is not a time of divine decor.

What do I mean by this? It's not about looking or

playing the part. It is about being the part

threaded into the fabric of the Davidic nature and DNA of God's

Kingdom. It's not about sounding Kingdom.

It's not about just doing Kingdom things.

God wants your heart. He wants your affections.

Isaiah 33 And there shall be stability.

How many people want stability? I think everybody does and there

shall be stability in your times.

Thank you Lord, and abundance of salvation.

Thank you Lord, and wisdom, thank you Lord, and knowledge.

Thank you, Lord, here it is. The Reverend, fear and worship

of the Lord is your treasure and His.

It is his treasure. If it's God's, if it's if it's

Christ's treasure, then it should be our treasure.

Here it is. He will be your constant source.

What is the fear of the Lord? He's my constant source.

I can't make it through this. They getting on my nerves.

He's my constant source. Here it is.

So if God has energy for you, then I got energy for you.

Because God, I want to give up. They, they, they, they, they get

on my nerves. They don't want to listen.

But guess what? You keep showing up.

Why? Because God got energy.

For him. So because I have the fear of

God, then God shares his strength.

Because I have the fear of God, God shares his patience.

Because I have the fear of God, God shares his long-suffering.

It's called the fruit of the Spirit.

Even the fruit of the Spirit can only be cultivated in a heart

that fears the Lord. So you want patience, kindness,

long-suffering, supernatural peace, then you have to be

rooted. That's the key constant source

of stability in changing times. It's going to keep changing.

But guess what? You should be a rock.

You see how it's all coming together.

The foundation on Wednesday night we talking about what?

Solid, solid. Being solid in times that are

promised to change, winds that are promised to blow, waves that

are promised to crash, people that are promised to let you

down. There will be a people that

still stands. You're the greatest witness in a

storm is when you can sleep through it.

And guess what? You're going to have some folks

mad at you. You don't care about me.

Yeah, you know how you know I don't care about you?

Because I'm not panicking with you.

Constant source. Here it is.

And out of his abundant love, He gives you the riches of

salvation. Out of His abundant love, He

gives you the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge.

Here it is. Yes, the fear of the Lord is the

key to this treasure. Like at the end of the day, the

body of Christ across the world should just be talking about the

fear of the Lord right now, right now, right now, because

it's the key we can give you the key to a successful

relationship, how to be marriage forever.

All these conferences we can give you, but what what about

just the fear of God? Here it is, and if it ain't

talked about, it cannot be imparted.

OK, OK, here it is. The fear of God is the essential

key that opens the heavens within us, releasing the glory

of God around us. The fear of God is the essential

key that opens the heavens within us, releasing the glory

of God around us. The fear of God is the essential

key that opens the heavens within us, releasing the glory

of God around us. I think one more time, that kind

of sounds real good. The fear of God is the essential

key that opens the heavens within us, releasing the glory

of God around us. People need to see heaven in

your life. You're a heaven carrier in the

grocery. Store.

God wants to release glory on our nine.

Hallelujah, right? You, you, you, you go into your

favorite burger joint. God wants to release glory

around your life. Right?

You, your family, lose a loved one.

God wants to release glory around your life.

Watch. This, the reward of humility and

the reverent and Worshipful fear of the Lord, is riches and honor

and life. This is all the stuff everybody

looking for. Somebody say the key, the reward

of humility and reverent and Worshipful fear of the Lord is

the reward. Somebody say the reward.

It didn't. How many people like rewards?

And whoever did raise their hand, you're boring.

You get what I'm saying? The rewards is what?

Riches. How many people want some

riches? Amen.

Now, riches ain't just money. Like like like like like like.

True riches is when you can help some other folks get rich.

I'm not Anybody want to stand with me in agreement that we get

those kind of riches? Not just money, but resources.

I want keys. I need keys, I need access.

Riches. Here it is honor.

I don't care. You can say you don't care about

folks, but the greatest thing you can do for your bloodline is

bring honor to it. There's enough bloodlines that

got a bad rap. You, you, you.

Some folks are so ashamed of the last name.

But God is trying to restore honor to your last name.

Can I help somebody in here? God is trying to restore.

God is trying to restore honor. To your last name, Here it is,

and the reward is life. I really believe, elders, that

God really desires for us to live long.

If he didn't then he wouldn't have started it off that way.

We were never supposed to die, we supposed to just be.

You know, looking. Like this forever.

And I'm like the enemy's trying to pervert the amounts and kind

of information. That is coming.

So you can be paralyzed and don't believe none of the

information, but I believe that God is releasing wisdom in the

earth about health because He's trying to restore.

Long life. So I'm going to cold plunge

because it helps. Let me tell you, it's nothing

bad that's going to come from it, right?

So you go try to find out what's wrong or you just going to dip

for a minute, right? I'm I'm going to fast once a

week minimum. I'm going to implement things in

my life because prayer makes power available but ignorance

makes death available too. So not only am I to pray, I am

to have corresponding action with what I'm believing for

sometime. My answer to prayer is 2500

milligram Advils. See how deep you are.

You think Advil is evil, huh? Right.

So is soda pop. Hallelujah.

I felt that. Don't come from my soda.

Don't come from my soda. The fear of God is the essential

key to long life in my bloodline.

I'm going to say my bloodline. That's it.

My bloodline spirit of the fear of God comes with the greatest

health benefits ever. It it, it, it'll be up there in

a second. It'll be up there in a second.

Be up there in a second. Hallelujah.

The secret of the Lord. Somebody say secret.

How, how many? I don't know.

I'm, I'm like a little kid here. Here it is like like little kids

like even to today. Malia, Malia.

Malia knocked on the door last night.

Now the kids knock and then they just come in, right?

Let me lay a knock on the door. Be like what y'all doing and the

kids always want to get on the other side.

Of their parents door. Some of y'all didn't even get

that. The the the kids want to know.

Like like I can go on my kids room.

I'm not really curious about what's in their room.

It's it's, it's the kids room. The kids want to know what's

going on in Mama and daddy room to go in Mama.

Like if you was a guest in my house and you can't like you

might go in my kids room, but you ain't coming in my room.

It's a secret place. No, can't share that story.

Hey, Dad. Hallelujah.

I don't know about you, but sons and daughters want to know the

secrets of their Father's heart. Christians kind of just want to

know the secrets to bonuses and raises and how to get blessed.

The secret of the Lord. Here it is.

He presents. You got to get this and we close

you. Have to understand that there's

some stuff. Kept aside for a certain group

of people, you know how we do first time attendees and we say,

but there we welcome everybody. But there's a group of people

here that are here for the, you get what I'm saying.

There's a there's an elite group of people here today that are

very specific that we want to share something with you that

everybody else got to pay for. Everybody else got to go to

seminars trying to find these secrets.

Everybody else got to do religious works to find these

secrets. Everybody else got to read books

and still don't get these secrets.

The secret of the Lord is for those who fear him and he will

make them know his. Some of y'all just hear about

his covenant. And you look crazy at the ones

that know his covenant. I'm kind of nosy.

I want to know what's in my father's room.

And he tells me the only way to get those Secret Service is to

worship me with awe. Consider me in everything you

do, make decisions that will honor me.

You look at the end of Jesus's life, he says in his prayer.

I've given to those that you've given me.

What you gave me to give them I have done.

I have emptied myself. I have fulfilled my assignment.

Jesus's whole focus was to please his Father.

You're here on Wednesday. If you read your word, you'll

see that's what he redeemed us for is to be back in intimate

relationship with the Father. The next experience we're going

to see all the benefits of a life that fears God, fear God so

much. No, I'm moving to Canada.

Absolutely. I ain't going to stay where I'm

not supposed to stay. No, but no, I fear God so much.

No, I don't care if my wife was wrong.

I am going to repent and apologize and I'm going to find

something I did wrong right. There's been a couple times

where me and her, you know, we went, we went to bed, not mad at

each other, just just didn't. Do good night and you know, she

was mad at me or whatever. And then she she sleep and I

come to church and you can ask her she right there.

I I will call her and say, babe, I apologize.

I'm not stepping on this platform to give you all kind of

wisdom and love and all that. And then I got a wife who I'm

I'm I haven't reconciled with. I fear the Lord.

I'm not about to come up here and carry his word, but have

aught with somebody that I supposedly love, his daughter

like I fear the Lord. I don't feel like coming all the

time, but because it's my assignment, I'm going to show up

because I fear the Lord. I want to please Him.

It wasn't about I didn't wait. It wasn't about smoking wasn't

fun. I had good time smoking weed.

It didn't mean it was the right good time, but some of y'all

think we got to. We got to just Oh, I deny that

it was fun. No, partying was fun.

And then partying sometime made my body suffer.

Why did I stop? Not because I wanted to be

healthy. I stopped because I wanted my

relationship with God to be healthy.

Yeah, Yeah. Come on, the fear of the Lord

will absolutely change your life.

It's everything. So then now when I have this

relationship with God and I read His word, I can hear clear, I

can see clear and He can unfold the King James.

It's his word, He reveals it to me.

Jesus already told you I'm hiding my word for those that

will seek me. Bible's not hard to read at all.

It's a love story. You understand love more than

you think. Fear of God must be everything

in our lives. Those that desire to allow the

fear of the Lord to take seat and root in their lives.

Stand to your feet and don't just stand because understand

this is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

Totally fine. You can think about it.

If you don't understand, it's totally fine.

But but, but like fear of God is everything.

No, I'm going to forgive you. I'm not even going to have

nothing to forgive you. But I'm not even mad at you.

I don't got time for all that. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not going to talk about you

behind your back. Not because I don't want to.

It's because what we'll see later is like David, he could

have killed that boy, but he saw the one that wanted to kill him.

Still as God's anointed, when you can see your enemies as

God's anointed, I'm not going to put my mouth on you.

I'm not going to put my hands on you.

I'm going to pray for you. Because I fear the Lord now, I'm

not going to sleep with you. Not because I don't want to.

It's because I fear the Lord. I make covenant with my eyes.

Just lift your hands right where you are, and you with your own

tongue and with your own mouth and your own voice.

Invite the Lord in and Lord forgive me for.

For taking our relationship so lightly, forgive me.

For being passive in our relationship, forgive me Lord

God. But today, Holy Spirit, impart

the fear of the Lord, the spirit of the fear of the Lord within

my heart. The word says to work out your

salvation with fear and trembling.

I'm not timid. I'm not I'm, I'm not scared of

God. But as a son and a daughter, I

come to your throne boldly. I Revere you.

Come on. I am in all of you.

You are awesome to me. You are mighty to me.

You are my source of life. You are everything to me.

You are my joy Lord. Without you, life has no

meaning. Come on, open your mouths.

Lord God, I just pray now in the name of Jesus that we can walk

again in the garden, we can talk again, we can, we can, we can,

we can love again, we can worship again.

Lord, my heart is ripped open for you.

Lord God, may I come to the end of myself in this moment.

May my eyes be big for you. May my heart stay open for you,

God, May my eyes be fixed upon you that I might have perfect

peace. May my hope be anchored in You.

May my confidence be in You. May my strength be from you.

May obedience be my nature. Today I lay down every stone.

I lay down the stones I wanted to throw, and I lay down the

stones that was in my heart. Hallelujah in Jesus name, Amen.

If you receive, give God a hand. Come on somebody, somebody say

this is real. Come on, say one key is all I

need. In Jesus name really quickly we

we give announcements in the beginning via video.

We have Instagram, we have website, we have Facebook, all

that stuff you want to know what's going on, which is some

we're always having something go on.

Please, please, please, please go follow or get here on time or

ask our kiosk in the back. I am super proud that or excited

that the plumbing inspection is done.

Now listen. So some drywall should be going

up in a minute and lights and we're close.

We, we have one 55155 somebody saying 155.

I want us to take 60 seconds. And I don't want you to just

pray. I want you to be the answer to

your prayer. 100% of the people can give today.

We don't got to beg you. It's happening.

God's cleaning up this community, and he had us in mind

to be a part of it, the history and the story of this community.

And So what you're praying for is you're praying for the

resources to be able to give yourself.

But also we're praying that God sends generous people to our

community that we do not have to be a begging church.

We just be a reminding church, not a begging church.

We're reminding you of an opportunity to give.

We this house is going to build our first house.

We going to do it. Amen.

And so let's take 60 seconds, absolutely 30 seconds.

Just get straight to the point as we pray for the harvest,

financial harvest to come in. Come on now, take the next 30

seconds and pray for your neighbor.

The. 5 seconds Come on, look to your neighbors, say you already

look better. I will see you next time.

Come on. Until next time, you know what

it is. Get your love fixed man.

Have a wonderful, wonderful afternoon.
