Everything Changed (1130AM) - 3.16.2025 (Pastor Terrance Richmond)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

some tea and get ready to receive.

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

I was thinking about it in the back and there was medicine

before there was hospitals. Understand, follow me.

There was medicine before there was hospitals.

But what a hospital does is number one it it it provides a

period, the best controlled environment for not just

medicine to be administered but also managed and if.

If quickly need. Be a switch.

You can be observed, you could. There's rooms in hospitals,

there's levels of treatment. So medicine you can go find

medicine right now outside of a hospital.

That's how some of y'all get hot.

Hey man don't act like you you you didn't went to the hospital

for for stuff. You you, you got your homie

demon come out of you in Jesus. Name, now I'm.

Just listen. Loosen up, you constipated.

Loosen up. Come.

On it's that church, I'm saying this is that 1 So it's like what

you have to understand is a hospital provides the best

controlled environment to get you stabilized, not just get you

treated. The local church God is moving

outside of Sunday and outside of the four walls.

Hands down He is. But you will not come to

stabilization without the local church.

So this dipping in and dipping out and church hopping and

figuring out what time service is best for you and which church

is closest and which pastor going to be nicest and what

community going to see you the most.

That's not what church is for. Understand you don't go to the

hospital to make friends. If you do, you sick, right?

You get what I'm saying? Like you go to the hospital, get

treated and get up out that thing.

We come here to get stabilized so we can then get sent back

into unstable places without being without our stability

being compromised. So I can go back into the

Hollywood Theatre in July with a with a full bar.

Nothing in there is tempting me. Why listen?

Why I'm stable. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because I've gotten rooted in the House of God.

I've gotten around some doctors, some nurses, some practitioners,

some some nutritionists, and I have got my life.

My vital signs are stable. I am vibrant.

I am healthy. I have a sound mind.

So now look, look. Yeah.

Now, now God can take me back into these places without

compromising my witness. Now then we we going to do a

concert here because we need all ages to experience it as well.

But that's 19 plus take 600 people to sell this place out.

When the church go rally together and realize that the

river of life flows from the altar and what we come together

and do, This is why we go to these basketball games.

We are out there to take a river of living water, OK, And we go

into the marketplace and impact it.

There's something, I don't know if anybody's ever come in there,

just something about I just don't know what to call it, but

there's just something about it. We going to these places, man.

We've been to gilt and Cove and and and packed it out Calabash.

We've been fortune, right? And and and they have some of

the best times, but the bar has some of the worst times because

they don't sell too much alcohol.

But that's what I'm telling you man, tell your friends the ones

that want to go partying, don't you don't promote this and be

like a my church doing a concert.

No, Hey, come to me, come with me to this hip hop show and and

the sounds is influenced by R and BS soul and gospel and hip

hop. It's an artist from Oakland, CA

lives here now. His name is Terrence Richmond.

You don't got to say Pastor T the anointed man of God is doing

some hip hop. No, my artist name is not

Pastor. Terrence trying to help you all

out right now. No, it's it's Terrence Richmond,

Love Quest Crew and Love Quest Crew is don't consist of some of

these super dope musicians you see up here, some of these fire

vocalists. You see it.

What does this have to do with the Kingdom and Scripture?

Everything I'm talking about us obeying the word go ye.

Therefore that's Scripture. So we're giving you ample

opportunities to serve God. But also witness the people.

Some of y'all ain't brought nobody to church ever.

Can you get them to the club? You can't get them to the church

or the club. I don't know what what was going

on. But it's an on club, it's the

live music venue. It's the oldest movie theater in

Vancouver and it's historic. And I love how God brings us in

these old places, the sound men that are there, they do Rogers

Arena, they do all that stuff. What are we going to do?

We going to go and they're going to be like, wait a minute, who

are these people? Who are these people?

And they a lot of them sober to. Who are these people?

Who are these artists? Who are these professionals?

Sound checking. I always tell the worship team

we're not rehearsing for Sunday. A lot of y'all don't know.

We haven't had one rehearsal until last weekend.

So if you've been here at all in the last two months, you're

listening to a worship team and a house that haven't had no

rehearsals. And when we rehearsal, we

rehearse. Ain't no run through the songs

and it's an hour and we out. No, we we do rehearsal like

Sundays. OK, but what's the what what

what's the point where a house that equips and they mobilize.

So when we go to these places like next Sunday, I guess I'm in

announcements right now. Like like next Sunday we are

playing. We are playing in a basketball

tournament called the Devil's Cup.

Yeah, that looks some of y'all judging.

It's the Devil's Cup. What is the church doing in the

Devil's Cup? Get out of that cup.

You better get out of that cup. That's why you ready?

You ready for this? That's why when COVID came they

said the church wasn't essential because we don't do nothing but

Sunday. So why are we going to risk

getting sick for one day? We aren't essential.

What services do we provide outside of Sunday?

What services do we provide when we're not trying to convert

people? So latter day building, it's got

to be beyond Sunday. We got to be equipped for the

wild. We got to go shine our lights.

We got to go be the church. We got to go be the salt of the

earth. So why are we going to show up

100 deep at the basketball game? Because you know how many

players are playing ball for therapy?

And when they play against us, they love it because they get

some good competition that last time they played in front of a

crowd. You bring therapy.

You, you, you're nostalgia to them.

And then after we root against them and talk crazy to them, we

go over there and hug them and say good guy, man, Get your love

fixed man. Going to be the church I

encourage you guys to go check out this morning's experience

won't be long in this part but this morning we got we we was

only able to get to 1 scripture. What my fault?

It was God that the Lord just grabbed a hold of a hold of

people's heart and. And he's doing it right now.

He's doing it right now. Today we're celebrating.

It happened in February, but we were we weren't doing church and

all that in in your traditional way, but we're celebrating 7

years. Thank you.

Yeah, let let me bring that in perspective.

I figured we were doing that. Most, most new pastors don't

church plans do not make it past the 1st.

It was it's like a few months. Let's just give them two years.

They don't make it past two years like.

Over. Like an alarming number over 60%

don't make it past two years, especially when at two years we

entered COVID. So to celebrate seven years is

it says a lot. For one, we're here to stay.

We ain't going nowhere. We ain't going nowhere.

OK? We will evolve.

There'll be purging seasons, but there's a foundation built that

will never be moved. But when you celebrate 7 is

because 7 is over, not 7 is beginning.

So you can't celebrate 7 without really paying attention to 8.

Amen. And it just in a nutshell, 7

symbolizes completeness and inner wisdom and spiritual

awakening and spiritual growth and perfection or maturity.

The number 8 represents new beginnings.

It has the the number 8 has is acquainted to resurrection.

New life, somebody say new life, come on, somebody say fresh

life, come on, say bounce back. And as I was expressing in this

morning is some of you have to crossover into #8 understanding

that 7 was not for you to get all that you wanted to get.

When you start understanding who you are, you will understand

that there's something in you that you offer more than a place

or time is there to offer you something.

So what we have to understand is 7 years wasn't for you.

It wasn't God's ordained time for you, JT.

It wasn't God's ordained time for you.

He chose you for the time. He did not choose the time for

you. That's why it seemed

unfavorable. That's why it seemed like doors

would not open. That's why it seemed like

rejection, you being overlooked. It seemed like here it is for

somebody. Seemed like everybody but you

was getting ahead. That was because the time wasn't

for you. You were for the time.

And what you have to understand is in the last seven years there

is harvest that people will experience.

From your here it is. From your life, from you being

present, here it is. Hold on.

There are people who have been blessed by your struggles.

Those seven years wasn't for your breakthrough.

It was for God's dis. It was for God to display his

keeping of you through your struggles.

Hey, hey, the last seven years wasn't about your milk and honey

that that. It was about your Red Sea,

right? And when you understand there's

two sides to the coin, you will stop getting frustrated in what

seems to be barren seasons. Just because something's not

sprouting doesn't mean it's a barren seed underground.

Understand what you you about to experience is 7 years of your

roots going down. I'm, I'm trying to tell you

something's coming up. And body of Christ, it is time

for you to stop seeing yourself through worldly eyes.

Your struggles had a purpose. You ready.

Your delay had a purpose. You notice I didn't say God's

delay. Yo delay had a purpose because

keep it real in some places. God waiting for you to show up

to God's not your sugar daddy. He's not your bail bondsman.

That's not what he's in your life for.

He's called, he is here to bring worship out of you.

So for me when I see seven years completion, a circle represents

what completion and I looked at love question.

We started in New West. We went to.

Vancouver, over to Abbotsford, to Langley, we right back here.

God took us in the Lower Mainland.

In some places we didn't have to go.

Trust me, we didn't need to go. But God took us on an Apostolic

route so that we have completion.

How do I know it's completion? The way he had us in the seven

years was abnormal. God was sealing the deal.

He was tying the knot. And I'm trying to tell some

people in here, man, God has kept you these last seven years,

these next eight years. The next seven years should look

like nothing but worship to him. I'm I'm here to tell some of

y'all you you. You should be dead right now.

I'm here to tell some of y'all. You should have lost your mind.

You should be on some medication to help your mental health.

Do not play with God's grace and mercy this year on the other

side of prophecy. I'm here to tell you there's

also warning. But let me tell you what warning

is. It's glory when God actually

warns you. You know how many people don't

get a warning or have gotten a warning and can't hear warnings

no more? Thank God.

Hey, I'd rather get a warning shot than get shot.

I know some people want that testimony.

Man, I got shot and I look. At that, you know what I'm

saying. Ignorant.

Amen. Hallelujah.

Come on. So warning shot.

Somebody say boom, that was terrible.

I like that, I like that, I like that.

So we got to understand these last seven years was not about

you, it was about preparing you. Let me tell you if.

What God has brought you into these this these last few months

or what he's about to bring you into?

If he did it anytime sooner, you would have squandered it.

See, see, here's what let me tell you, God would have brought

it to you, but you weren't ready for the warfare that's going to

come with the promise. So he he wasn't trying to just

secure the bag. He was trying to secure you.

Now what you want to go through, you are going to contend for

that building, contend for that business, contend for that

relationship you. Have legacy what I want to call

legacy capacity. See some of y'all think too

small. How do I know you think too

small? Because all you're thinking

about is you. Let me tell you too you too

small for God's promises. When you start thinking about

generations decisions for generations, then you're

contending gets stronger. We're not contending for this

building because I'm like, I want a building to be in.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You see them big old Goliath

buildings right there. Every time we walk out, we going

to have to look up, but every time they walk out on their

balcony, they going to have to look down and see love lives

here. Every time they walk on their

balcony, they going to have to they going to wake up on Sunday

mornings to worship music. They going to have to walk by

this House of joy. They going to have to come and

see what's going on over there. God plopped us right in the

middle of one of the most happening spaces that you will

see in the next three years for Vancouver.

OK, but this area right here is about to be exploding.

The the biggest developers have bought property.

They're building up. Universities are building.

I'm talking about right here in walking distance.

And guess what? They're going to have to walk by

Love Quest International Church. See, I'm thinking we write songs

for generations. I can, I can hear people that's

moving from China, that's moving from Africa, that's moving from

your, that's moving from places all over the world.

Don't move here. And one day they're going to be

singing This house belong to my father.

This house belong to my freedom. Now, I will say this church, if

you like, if you go to this church, because it's mostly,

that's what it's small, that's what it's.

Small to have an. Experience like this and we're

able to walk across the street. We don't have members if you get

quite, quite this now I'm talking about the joy of the

Lord is going to is permeate this this vicinity.

And there's going to be some people who do not believe in

God, who actually hate God, who actually are bitter at God.

And they're going to begin to hear a sound and you're going to

be skeptic and walk around. They coffee and act like they

going somewhere else. They're going to walk around and

then they're going to meet somebody out there and they're

going to say what's going on here and it might take them a

year, but they're going to end up in this house.

In year 8, everything and in the last seven years, I will tell

you, for me personally, everything changed.

We'll give you a few scriptures and we go, go.

Everything changed. 7 was tough. There's a lot happening. 7 It's

because you see joy up here, you see dancing up here.

Don't think this is how I contend.

This is how I fight my battles. There's family stuff.

There, there, there, there is church stuff, there is betrayal.

There is all types of stuff. Don't, don't, don't get get it

twisted. Because we show up faithfully

and we smile and we love and we walk around and we hug and we

that we don't have some pain, right?

But when you've been called to be the light and be the salt of

the earth, sometimes you don't get to just be in pain in front

of people. That's your call to get out of

pain. But do not think for one second

these last seven years have not been in some ways nightmare, in

some ways extremely tough. Say God, wait a minute, we

contended for other people, family.

What about? Mines right Do not.

Think that, but what I do know is that God is doing a

generational what? Whenever God is trying to heal

you, he's not just trying to heal you for now, because

everything that come out of your mouth after you are healed

matters for the next generation. Every decision.

He's trying to heal your decision making, not just your

body. He's trying to heal your, your,

your insecurities. He's trying to heal your, your,

your doubt and unbelief. He's trying to heal your anger.

He's trying to heal you from the crown of your head to the soles

of your feet because God's healing plan is for generations.

It's not just about about you. But what I do know church is

everything has changed. Nothing is the same.

I was telling people this morning, man, you might not look

at your giving up at times or your wanting to give up, or your

fetal positions or your, your, your tears or your domestic

arguments in the home that no one knows about.

Or you may not see the tears at night.

You might, you might mistake that for not having faith.

But I want to, I want to, I want to speak to something that is

similar to faith, but is is probably more attacked than

faith. See The difference between faith

and trust is faith requires evidence.

Somebody say evidence. It's faith is the substance of

things hoped for. It's the evidence of things not

seen. See what I understand about

this? One thing is you cannot.

This is why non believers walk in faith and and get the outcome

of faith. A non believer doesn't trust

God, but a non believer can walk in faith.

And This is why sometimes we'll see people who don't follow

Jesus prospering you like why they faith.

But man, this secret sauce that brings us to child likeness is,

do you trust God? This is why they when the enemy.

Caused that rape to happen, that molestation that happened, that

domestic violence that happened. It wasn't about faith at that

point. It was trying to get you out of

trusting authority figures. Because if you don't trust

authority figures, then you don't have accountability in

your life. And now you're running your own

life and you think somebody's trying to hate on you or stop

you from if you don't trust your daddy, your Mama, if you don't

trust the pastor that God called to you, you don't, you don't

trust. Some of you don't give in church

because you don't trust. Forget faith that you don't

trust. Some of you have accountability

issues because you don't trust. And in this next season, it is

going to require not just faith because we're not just trying to

get things. It's going to require trust

because we got to follow God. Here it is trust.

There is JT trust. There may be no evidence around,

no sign of it working out, no sign that there's a chance I'm

gonna get this or that. There is no evidence to cling to

there. There's there's no blueprint,

but got it. I, I, I, I, they don't make no

sense, but I trust you. It's going to take some of that,

some of you want to run your own life because you don't trust.

And the moment you feel challenged, it's like, oh, I

trust me. Let me tell you something.

You don't even trust you because.

When I want to do good, evil's always present.

So why do I keep choosing the thing I don't really want to do

or that I know is not good for me?

You don't trust you. You've broken trust with

yourself a long time ago. So if you can't trust yourself,

it's hard to trust God because you don't trust you making the

right decision. I'm here to tell you the

greatest decision you can ever make is do it God's way.

Everything has changed for me, all know about for you, but

everything has changed but the sake of time, go and listen to

this morning's message. I'm, I'm not going to read some

of the passages that I'm about to read now because I'm get

stuck on them again. But we pick up at a story where

Samuel was ordained to go anoint David, but he didn't know he was

anointing David. He just knew he was going to

anoint 1 of Jesse's sons to be king.

He showed up and he said, and I dealt with this this morning.

He, he, he looked at, he looked at this fine, handsome brother

and, and, and he was like for show.

That's the king. And God said look, looks ain't

everything, buddy. Lady, you looking at them

muscles you looking at Hey felt felt the fellas you looking at

them curves love question. You know we like to say curve

swerve. They ain't going to always be

tight tires flattened. Look at what he says Looks

aren't everything. God looks on the heart of man.

And then I shared this stop, stop getting with people because

they they got potential. It's how you get in trouble,

right? Let God if God here it is.

If God hasn't gotten a hold of their heart yet, do not get in

that place. Don't be the substitute

comforter. I'm here to tell some of y'all,

you can't heal your partner, but be careful when they make you

their crutch. No, if they ain't found peace in

God, you're in a dangerous situation.

But what would life look like for them without you in it,

right? And So what you got to

understand is the heart reveals their life, their choices, their

mouth, their decisions reveal the condition of their heart.

Trust the fruit. Someone can be.

Nice without a healthy heart. Let me keep moving.

See, I told you I was going to get stuck there.

OK? I'm just trying to help some

people. So we see he went through seven

sons. It was Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope,

Nope. Say 7.

God hasn't chosen any of these. Then he asked Jesse, is this it?

He was like, we went through 7. And none of them.

If God still hasn't chosen one of the seven, you see what I'm

saying, then there's got to be something 1 missing.

So for me, if it ain't popped off for you in seven, I'm here.

To tell you just like here, you thought it was going to happen

in the last seven God was like. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I needed you to observe all seven years because every all

seven years had something in you, right?

But that year it seemed like something was missing in your

life. I'm telling you, whatever it was

that you've been. Thinking that has been missing

in your life. I'm telling you that look, he

says, he says, are there no more sons?

Well, yes, there's the runt. I'm no longer concerned with how

you see me because when it's my time, God going to find me

faithful tending to what he called me too.

Patty cake. Patty cake.

You better hear what I'm telling you.

You got to stop caring about what people call you.

Because when God calls for you, it don't matter what people

look. God's about to show his family

what he thinks about him. Hey, I'm, I'm, I'm not to tell

you you're about to walk. God's about to prove who you are

to them. You don't have to say nothing

else. This is why God was trying to

get you free from trying to please them or show them.

God's about to show. Just stay at your post, be

faithful and God is about to unveil you to your family.

God's about to unveil you to your friend.

He's about to unveil you to your Co workers.

Hey, hey you are. Listen, you are the black sheep

of your family for a reason. Sometimes God will allow the

abandonment because He's preserving you for Him.

You ready for this? They didn't know how to take

care of you. What if I told you that their

abandonment would have been bet is better than their attempt to

care for you? Come on.

Man. Come on.

No, we can't. No, no, no.

Who I'm talking to. And here the.

I'm telling you, I'm talking personal.

When I came to Canada, you and my wife.

Yeah, Babe, we ain't got to prove nothing.

Now I'm going to go to lunch one more time.

Babe. Babe, I'm going to give them.

No, they're done. No, babe, but I'm going to just

give them one more. I hate when people misunderstand

me, but babe, come on. Just.

Give me a. Or I'll send a text and trying

to prove myself. Man, I send long texts trying to

explain myself. My texts have gotten shorter,

but I'm just like, man, you, you, you just you're wanting to

prove yourself. And I have to look even with my

wife and there's certain things I thought I needed from her.

There's things I desire from her.

But if she she's not my Jesus. So I got to be able to walk in

and say hey and she say hey. And I what is that thing that I

need her to respond how I was led to respond?

She tired. She don't need to rub my head or

my back. She don't if she don't like what

I'm wearing or she don't give me the attention or if she gone for

too long. Why do I need that?

Why do you need the part? That's why God needs you single

till you got the need of other people dried out, until you got

the need of another man to approve you or another woman to

approve you. Or you can deal with your

loneliness through finding comfort with God versus finding

comfort. You are too needy and you don't

need God the same way, which is dangerous.

And so for seven years, I don't care if this ain't for nobody in

here, but God needed to get out of me, the orphan in seven

years. I'm a I'm a brand new man.

Some of y'all who I don't do drugs, but you do boyfriend.

You do girlfriend, just like it's a drug.

I don't have an addiction issue. Yeah, you do.

How long can you be alone? You're addicted to whatever you

need to fill that void. And I'm glad for the last seven

years I have stayed rooted so God can fill the voids and, and,

and, and I could just depend on him.

It's for some of y'all in here, man.

The stuff is coming, the business going to thrive, The

spouse is coming, all of that. But man, that ain't you.

You, you can't show up to the altar needing that.

No, this is purpose, partnership.

And if you have made someone your God, I'm telling you, if

they walk away, you will lose your mind because you put them

in the place of God. I ain't gonna lie.

I, I, I this is the first time I ever said this.

She ain't even said this to my wife.

I've idolized her attention. Ain't no way I'm going to not

have a dad in my life and that don't impact me.

See some of y'all will never pause and realize just

organically abandonment impacts you.

It doesn't matter if you've learned how to cope or deal with

it, but the lack of acknowledging it, it will come

out in other ways. Sometimes God is not trying to

get you to deal with something to get healing.

Sometimes He needs you to deal with it, to recognize it.

Everything ain't about pain. Some stuff is just about being

blind. Some stuff ain't about a

heartache. Some stuff is you just can't see

clear, so your judgement is off. You don't make healthy

decisions. You think the right people are

against you and the wrong people are for you, and you think

because pain ain't there, it ain't an issue.

No, I've been healed. But acknowledging that I

actually needed my father. Acknowledging I wish I had my

dad hug me. Acknowledging that I wish I had

my dad kiss me on the cheek. Acknowledging I wish I could

have played catch with my pops. And then you, you want to talk

about and you like, ain't tears supposed to come down?

Not all the time. It ain't always about emotions.

Sometimes it's like, oh, that's why I act like that.

That's why I made that decision. Sometimes acknowledgement helps

connect the dots so that you can become whole.

Some of you, Deborah, some, some folks didn't.

Some folks didn't even realize that they have been already

healed without closure. Some of you think you need

closure. Some of you think you need to

have a conversation. No, no, no.

What if God is trying to get you whole so when you had a

conversation, you are not emotionally struck?

What if you show up to that closure meeting strong when they

come and expecting you to beat them up?

Maybe God needs you to show up to the meeting healed so you can

bring healing to them. But if he left you all oozy and

wounded, you're going to show up to that meeting and you're going

to just, you're just going to rub against the bruise.

Some of you. I'm telling you right now, you

have been healed. You just don't recognize it

because you're trying to attach emotions to the healing.

It doesn't have to be emotional. You actually.

Could just have. Strength.

Tears can fall on the other side of standing.

Some of you got it healed you from your grief.

You ready. The memory and the emotional

feeling doesn't mean you're still grieving.

You just simply mean you miss that person.

So you're not trying to treat grief.

You can realize I am. I miss them, but I'm healthy,

I'm whole, I'm good. See, I don't, I don't know

what's in this house today, but God is trying to prepare your

heart. And I just, I keep hearing this

in my spirit. It's done, it's coming, you're

healed. Like like like like the striving

has to end. I want you to see this.

He says we're not moving from this spot until he's here.

All that FOMO. Do you know what God has planned

for? You could not start without you

showing up. You've been having FOMO about a

party you wasn't invited to. Ain't nothing like when God.

Throw your party. Ain't nothing like showing up at

the God ordained time. I want you to see, he said.

Go get him, Go get him and we going to stay right here in

other. Words.

There's some stuff. Is waiting for you to.

Arrive. You've been looking for it, and

the enemy knows. If you would have just kept

walking, you would have. Rumped into it because it's

waiting for you. Everything that God has for you.

You'll like this EJ. Everything that God has for you

is waiting for you. How do I notice?

He says all of creation is awaiting.

For you. To show up.

And then the Bible says everything you see that's

created was created out of something invisible that you

can't see. You see why?

The world's way is to chase it. Dog's way is to chase him.

And I'm trying to tell you it's some stuff that was I'm, I'm,

I'm, I'm, I'm, this is a prophetic vein right here.

There's some stuff that could not pop off in this city until

Love Quest showed up. Let let me tell you, this ain't

no complete development unless Love Quest is here.

That's just how I think, right, Right.

While churches ran from this area, developers ran to it.

But I I served the master architect.

I serve, I got God got plans too, and praise God, we are a

part of the plans. I want you to see this.

Jesse sent for him. But go, go, get, go get my boy.

Go get, go get my boy. Seven years you've been watching

people seemingly past you. You've been you've been watching

people seemingly their business take off.

You've been watching people get married.

You've been watching people and I'm telling you, man, learn to

live without the anxiousness of what you're waiting for.

That's when you know you're ready.

I'm talking about when God when what God promised you got to

hello Amazon here special delivery and you'd like wait a

minute. I'm sure I didn't I didn't

really need this no more, but because God sees fit, I'm going

to take I receive it like everything in your life can't be

everything you strive for some stuff got to be God saw fit that

it was in your life because he trusts you and he equipped you

to manage it. Let me tell you, I did.

I did not. I'm like, absolutely God, I'll

take it. Let's do it.

And it's a gift from God that keeps on giving.

He said he was brought in the very picture.

Wow. No, you got to hear me.

He showed up the very picture of health.

You want to know why God hasn't unveiled you?

You wouldn't have showed up as the picture of health, the stuff

that still comes out of your mouth, the triggers, the

attitude, the judgmental spirit, the insecurity, the fear, the

offense. You're not ready when God puts

you in these places. You got to know how to talk to

people. You got to know how to handle

being mistreated. You got to know how to deal with

rejection. Not everybody going to like you

and whoever don't like you. You don't got to be mean.

David showed up the very image of health.

Want to know why seven years Because you haven't been

healthy. God is way more concerned about

the health of your soul than the answer of your things.

Prayer. You trying to rush God?

God's like, I get it, man, but if I give it to you now,

prodigal son, you're going to go out there and squander it

because what you think you're ready for, I know you ain't

ready for. City is bright eyed good

looking. I love how good looking was last

up on your feet. When is your time?

God causes men and women to be up on their feet and they going

to see you. I love him.

When David showed up, God pointed him out.

Do you look at back in the? Scriptures it was, you hear

Samuel? Nope, that ain't the one.

Boy, when God, when David showed up, God said, hey, Samuel,

that's him right there. This is the one.

He looked like faithfulness. He smelled like honor.

He walked like a warrior. He was postured in contentment.

He looked like faithfulness, he smelled like honor, He walked

like a warrior, and he was postured in contentment.

Want to know when you're ready for God's big?

When you look like faithfulness, when you smell like honor, and

when you walk like a warrior, not a thug.

Because you act hard, sound hard, look hard don't mean you

hard. I feel like the hardest people,

the gang, most gangster, is those that know how to love.

I'm not talking acts of kindness.

Jesus was the hardest hour. How you not going to get

offended with the one you know about to betray you?

And it wasn't like he knew that Judas was going to put him in

jail. No, you're the one that's about

to get me murdered gangster, right?

I've been there. I've been in the hood, I've been

in the street and and the facade is because of brokenness,

insecurity, fear. Men, God wants to heal you so

you look like faithfulness, so you smell like honor, so you

walk like a warrior. You're postured in contentment.

You're not moved by a female's looks.

You're not moved by money, you're not moved by opportunity.

He's moved by trust, faith in God.

And that's not God's broke plan. That's not God's poverty plan.

That's God's wealth plan. Samuel took his flask and he

anointed David with his brother standing around watching.

This is wild. This happened last week and I

was driving. I was doing something.

I need all the Single Ladies to listen to what about to say I'm

like like like you know sometimes folks be really

thinking I'll be caring about your relationships like that.

No, have you ever thought about God does and I just faithful

vessel right and I'm not going to back down from being who

God's called me to be to the people, but I heard the Lord

whoever this is for. A part of God redeeming your

bloodline is going to be through who you marry.

You understand who you marry can mess up your bloodline, but also

who you marry can redeem it. I believe there is a grace for

singleness in this hour because God cannot afford.

Of course he can but the divorce rate in the church, right?

It's not just the goal is not to not get divorced.

That's. Not the goal.

The goal is to actually have a marriage that represents the

love of Jesus for his church. OK.

This is for for some. Some people, specifically the

ladies, some some ladies that God is trying to restore your

bloodline. Through the man he's bring, he's

prepared for you, but he's also trying to protect it through

that. Union.

Here it is on the other side of. You and his union.

There are some Billy Graham's. You understand there are some

children awaiting in the balance that God's going to bring into.

Your bloodline to do some great things in the last days.

Who you choose is way bigger than what you need.

Who you choose is who God needs, and through your union, God can

fulfill some purpose in these last it's a crucial hour.

Who you choose can bring delay to God's purpose in your life,

or who you choose can bring acceleration.

Here it is. God could anointed any of these

men, but God had a specific man he needed to anoint.

He anointed a man. OK, that would ultimately show

us a blueprint for worship. OK, submit.

His brothers was watching. His brothers was watching.

You have to learn how to be chosen in front of family

members that may not understand or deal with God calling you

out. Spirit of God, enter David like

a rush of wind. And this is for some of you.

It's really for all of you. But those that have ears to

hear. God vitally empowered him for

the rest of his life. I want you to understand this,

the favor that rests up on you is for the rest of your life.

It's let me tell you, you got to hold on.

It is, it's for the rest of your life.

So when that doubt comes up in yourself, you got to remember I

have been anointed for the rest of my life.

When rejection come, I've been anointed.

When delay comes, I've been anointed for the rest of my

life. God is with me for the rest of

my life and not just Speaking of my salvation and my eternity.

No, no, God is with me for the rest of my life.

He is in every part of my life. The glory of God, take a picture

of it. It's the word for you.

The glory of God will rest upon you from this day forward in

measures that will accelerate, promise, scatter demons, and

shatter the schemes of your enemies.

And when I'm talking enemies, I'm not.

I'm not talking about home girl down the hall from you.

That's way too carnal. I'm I'm talking about enemies

you can't see, plots that you can't see, tricks that you can't

see, schemes that you can't see. I'm not talking about people.

Sometimes it ain't people hating on you.

At all. The glory of God will rest upon

you from the this day forward for those that have ears to hear

in measures that will accelerate, promise, scatter

demons, and shatter the schemes of your enemies.

You ready? There are some victories that

you will never know about. Till you get to heaven I need

you to know because God is with you.

There are demons that you can't see that are.

Scattering when you walk in the regions.

OK, I want you to understand, no matter the man's outcome, there

is victory everywhere you go. So go forward in power.

I want you to understand in this next season, hear me, the delay

is powerless. Delay is powerless.

Use delay for your good, but delay can never take anything

from you. The Lord shall cause your

enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face.

They shall come out against you one way and flee before you

seven ways. 7 Understand what that means.

The Lord says that the enemy's plans this going to bless

somebody, the enemy's plans and schemes that he had over you or

for you for the last seven years.

You need to hear this. He has walked away frustrated

because it didn't work. You got, you got to, you got to

notice so. Even when things that look like

it's the same, it it's temptation, but it I'm telling

you, the enemy is disappointed right now because you were not

supposed to make it is what you got to see the moves God's been

making. He's been getting you closer to

things. He's been getting you in

partnership. God is doing a new thing.

The enemy's plans are over. How do I know it?

Because God said he's going to cause them to go seven ways.

What does that mean? That means his plans and schemes

have been completed. Yeah.

OK, let me. Let me.

He has. You have survived his best

shots. Lift your hands, the Lord shall

command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that

you undertake. Come on, lift your hands.

If you are business person, if you, if you, if you have kids,

if you have anything that you are over or you called to rule a

steward, the Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your

storehouse, in your finances, in your health, and in all that you

undertake. And he will bless you in the

land which the Lord God gives you, not that man gives you.

He didn't say God's going to bless what man gave you, but

regardless of man's participation, God is turning

spoils over to you. Will you be found faithful?

Will you be found humble enough to trust Him in this season?

Doesn't matter what it looks like, whatever bit of progress

you've seen in these last three months, I'm telling you it is

1/10 of what God's about to do in the next nine months.

I'm telling, listen, this is a year where God's only interest

is to establish you in His Kingdom purpose.

He's not just blessing you with things.

God is bringing establishment blessing.

God is bringing finances. That is going to establish.

Your. Financial security, not just let

you touch a little bit of money. He is bringing some stuff that

is going to allow your the next 5 generations to be established

here. It is for some families.

He is going to bring influence and financial gain and monetary

gain and monetary influence where even for the next 5

generations, it will be set up in such a way in your bloodline,

they will not have to work to make money.

They will work to just manage. No, no, hear me receive it.

This ain't a woo woo. God's trying to establish the

bloodline. He's not trying to establish

your pocket so you can go on vacation whenever you want so

you can buy the clothes. He God's not trying to establish

lifestyle. And, and I'm telling you, for

some of you, it's not going to start with money.

It's going to start with an idea and the courage to plant the

idea. He's going to start with an idea

and the next step is write it down.

And then the next step is to elaborate on it.

The next step is to pray over. The next step is to write it on

the mirror. The next step is to to, to seek

out the partners God has brought to you to help you.

I'm telling you in this season, because it's already happened

for me, He is bringing people who will see what you've been

laboring in, and they have gifts that you don't have, but their

gifts is the key to unlock the wealth.

No, you got the talent, but you don't got the system.

You got the story, but you don't know how to write the book.

God's bringing the storyteller, a story writer.

OK, OK, OK. Some of you actors and actresses

that's been waiting for callbacks.

God, God has really been trying to get you to start your movie

company, your production company.

He's been trying to get you because he's put movies in you.

And although you're going to take the wilderness route, but

but your production company is not for you alone, but for the

next 5 generations, your great grandkids is going to be getting

the one. They're going to be getting

auditions sent to them. I want to tell you there is some

stuff inside of you that's not going to be in your grandkids.

You're a builder, whoever I'm talking to, you're actually a

builder. And that's why you've been

experiencing some of the frustrations because you've been

trying to be hired and God said no, you are called to be lender,

not borrower. You you're you're called your

your architect, not construction worker.

And you've been wanting to you've been asking God to you

hold here this you've been asking God to do the you've been

praying for minor and God's been trying to use the resistance of

the minor showing up to compel you or propel you into major.

And you haven't been your insecurity here it is.

That's why you got to deal with nothing, Elder John.

This is why they got to deal with brokenness, because the

brokenness has not allowed you to see the magnitude of what's

on your life. Here it is.

My wife is always told me. I, I, I just made some amends

with some people that I've mentored and things of that

nature. And I'm always wondering why the

people that I've mentored ain't opening doors for me.

You seem simple, right? Share my stuff, hop on this,

help out with this and God said no.

And my wife hit me up. She was like, babe, I was

listening to this podcast about that you did with such and such

and blah blah blah. Your relationship never started

with you needing them for things.

The mentor never needs the mentee, but my insecurities and

brokenness and need for affirmation and approval that

I'm good at this or I'm good at that was causing me to need

people I was called to lead, to need people I was called to

hire, to need people who I was called to open doors for, to

open doors for me. And how was I about to put my

mantle down? And before you know it, if

you're not careful, you will revulge.

You will, you will Esau your blessing, and you will give over

this birthright because of your insecurity.

And the orphan spirit will cause you to lay down the authority

that God has given you because you haven't dealt with this

thing. And slowly but surely, you're

dying to the orphan instead of awakening to the sun.

Do not I'm I'm pleading with do not submit to the orphan spirit.

Do not keep running. God is trying to bring.

Healing to you. He's trying to bring wholeness

to you, and your days of settling must be over.

Can you let God use the pain, the abandonment, the rejection?

Can you let them use it? It's good.

You're good. God's not going to bless you to

get back at somebody. God's not going to bless you to

show up and say, look at me, I did it without you.

For some of you, I see mantels right now that are switching.

God is taking that cloak you put on yourself and he says that was

the wrong size. You are extra.

Large you put on a medium because you looked in the mirror

and you saw yourself too small. I am sending people to you in

this season. That are even going to bless.

You, because you are in a season where you are developing the

thing, The thing, Hey, hey, the money will show up before The

thing is complete. God is going to send you

development partners. God is going to send you

finances, financial partners to get things off the ground.

But you got to have the vision and he will send people and they

will run with it. I promise you.

This is the time, I promise you. As I hear so.

Clear from the throne of God. For those that think you showed

up too late, I'm telling you showed up just on time.

There is there has been a you ready.

God has put margin in his purpose.

Understand this, Adam Beth. God has put margin.

What do I mean by margin? God knew you will stumble.

And you thought your stumbling has caused you to show up late.

Prodigal son, prodigal daughter. And you wonder how the God has

capacity to just throw a party for you when you show back up.

Because he created margin. He knew you'd be back.

It's not too late. You're actually on time.

You ready? The enemy has not stolen what

you think he's stolen. God put it in a trust account.

There are some things that are going to unfold, some desires

that are going to reoccur that you can handle.

Now, whoever this is for, I don't

need to know who you are. I don't, I don't, I don't really

care in that way. But God is going to send you one

partner that has immense capacity.

And I'm talking about their capacity.

You are going to be telling them to slow down, but you, you

ready. They are a pacesetter.

Their capacity is going to challenge you.

But their capacity seems to be greater only because God is

trying to accelerate what He has.

And it's not till you try to keep up with someone that's

faster than you that you start running faster than you thought

you could. And that's why you keep asking

them to slow down. No, no, no, no, you don't need.

They don't need to slow down. You actually just need to get

your bearings and stop panicking thinking you're going to stumble

because you're running at a pace you didn't think.

But God's bringing someone in your life that is going to

stretch you and be humble enough to submit to you.

God himself has secured your future.

I can't even get I'm not going to even attempt to read these

scriptures. God we we so done that was going

to be so good 1234 these four points I do have to give you

great anointing. You're stepping into this season

great anointing. The anointing is not to look

good. The anointing is to get God's

will done. The anointing is not for you to

continue to squander in your pigpen.

The anointing is not for you to continue to live outside of

God's will. I'm I'm here to tell some of

y'all that even know better. Play with God if you want to and

see exactly what happens. Hey, guess what?

It's going to be room for you in this house.

But This is why he allows certain things that happen to

you, because he is committed. He won't let it kill you.

He ain't going to let it kill you.

But I'm, I'm telling you in advance, why would you even have

to go through that? The secrecy, the shame,

unnecessary. You're anointed.

Great anointing from this day forward, here it is.

If I would have read all the scriptures that I have, you

would have gotten these points. Great safety.

Why are you being? Why is great safety here grace?

Because God has an assignment for you.

So the protection, I would tell you the protection is in the

assignment, but I don't want you to be focused on the.

Assignment. The protection is in him because

he's watching over his assignment for you that he's in

with. You God's not keeping you safe

in your crap. He's keeping you safe in your

obedience. I will tell you straight up,

there is no safety in your no here, let me, let me, I got to

say it's smooth. There is no safety in your

defiance. I.

Was going to read you, blessed coming in, blessed coming out,

and then right there at the end you keep reading, he says.

But if you do not listen to my voice, the curse.

Will overwhelm you. It does not mean that God is

going to curse you, but curse is in the world.

And if you choose to live world, you will reap the fruit of world

living. And whenever bad is happening to

you, it's not God, it's the fruit of worldly living.

And if you're not experiencing the fruit of worldly living.

Please humble yourself to worship His mercy.

There comes a time where the only way back to Him is to learn

the hard way. Great safety.

Thirdly, this next season is great victory.

Right right here here we go here we go listen to me.

Why y'all didn't clap on great safety?

The the great victory is only because of the safety.

See, we see victory as something for us and I need you to hear

this in this next season. Do not miss it.

But there is threefold prosperity, but it's threefold

prosperity free. John says to put it up.

It's, it's on one of those slides and I, I even for myself,

I, I, man, I feel, I feel this thing.

You ready the anointing to get healthy like I've never been

before. Hey, my why is so much bigger

than looking good. My why is bigger than losing

weight. See, a lot of people are fast

because really you want to lose weight.

A lot of people change their diet because you, you just want

to look good. When's the last time you said I

want to eat better because I need to hear God clearer?

When that becomes a hunger, I need to eat better because I'm

walking with God and I need to keep up.

You ever, you ever walk you ever out of you, you out of shape?

You ever walk with somebody in shape and you, you start

wheezing and you like, hold up, Why are you walking so fast?

And that's how it feels walking with God.

Why? Part of it is your health,

beloved, I pray that you are prospering in what every way a

lot of us in here think because our bank account is full and we

got a savings account. That's the goal.

How's your soul? Because God his promises

threefold to continually enjoy health and that's your soul is

prosper threefold. There's a grace that you will

walk in health like you never have before.

But I want you to understand this here.

Here it is and tell you it's not threefold if you don't live

obedient. This, this, this is for those

who are walking with the Lord. Because you don't need God.

To just get physically healthy, you just need to go to the gym

consistently needs a a a decent diet.

And when you start talking about your soul, the joy of the Lord

is my strength, his joy. How do I know he has joy?

Because I did what he said. Jesus says my nourishment comes

through doing the will, completing it.

Father. I don't know who this is for

today man, but. This is you in God's year.

There's no church next Sunday. Well, it is.
