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

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

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

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

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

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

  7. some tea, and get ready to receive.

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

  9. I, I, I really want some of you. I can see some of you can't

  10. connect to the happy anniversary because you feel newer or

  11. something, But when you understand it's your father's

  12. house, you've always belonged here.

  13. Yeah. So you're not really a new

  14. member. You just found home.

  15. Amen. You so Father today.

  16. I thank you that no one will miss your word today.

  17. No one will miss your voice today.

  18. And yeah, everything that has breath will praise.

  19. You Lord God. I thank you, Father, that you,

  20. your spirit of prophecy, rest strong in here today, that we

  21. will hear the word of the Lord and walk out of here empowered,

  22. walk out of here complete, walk out of here satisfied, and walk

  23. out of here with a confidence, a knowing.

  24. That this is the time. I am the person my family will

  25. make it and why not me? All I can say is Lord you

  26. brought us from a mighty long way.

  27. Super grateful. We just bless you Lord.

  28. May this word just move us and advance us.

  29. We come against the spirit of error and we thank you Father,

  30. where revelation is blocked that you just bus open a gateway that

  31. that even a little bit of revelation will seep in the soul

  32. of man in this room that will inevitably bring transformation.

  33. We come against the spirit of the Antichrist, the anti

  34. anointing. I pray we move from just

  35. observers of the Word and we become living, living in the

  36. Word, living by the Word, that our lives truly reflect your joy

  37. and your peace. I pray that guards be removed

  38. right now. And as you knock at man's heart

  39. right now, they say, Lord, come on in, have a seat.

  40. And I'll just be selfish in this moment.

  41. I'll just say, Lord, come on into my heart.

  42. Lord, I don't want to stand here.

  43. I don't want to be in this place and walk out of here to sing.

  44. But I also declare that I am good ground and every word that

  45. these ears here today will produce fruit.

  46. All right, you don't got to listen to me for I'm just

  47. telling you, I'm praying for myself right now.

  48. I'm not even praying for you. So if you hear something that

  49. that you want to agree with prayed over yourself Father, I'm

  50. good ground and I I I believe that you have sent a word today

  51. that's going to prosper me and my family and all that my hands

  52. touch Lord I think of your glory is upon upon my family today and

  53. upon this church and we receive it in advance in Jesus name

  54. Amen. Before I get going, for those

  55. that for those you know, that, that know a little bit of my

  56. family's life right now, we aren't together all the time

  57. because now we're always together.

  58. We're not divorced. We actually have an exceptional

  59. marriage. And it didn't start off that way

  60. for five years, but in year 20, it is ever happy, ever blessed,

  61. ever joy. And listen, I'm not, I'm not

  62. just up here putting it on like if, if we didn't have a good

  63. one, the distance that we have right now would not, we would

  64. not make it. But we laugh every day.

  65. We talk to each other probably 20 times a day sometimes,

  66. sometimes. But we we have vibe and she in

  67. the house today and I'm just going to.

  68. Celebrate her while she's here. Happy anniversary, right?

  69. When we met in the club with them Long Islands and that

  70. Hennessy, and you dropped it low on me on the floor and I tried,

  71. right? You know, when you're drunk, you

  72. think you're strong. So I tried to pick her up and we

  73. both fell on the ground and I'm like, OK, we can't do that.

  74. And so all the point is, is at that time, we never thought we'd

  75. be pastoring a church in Canada. But I do believe that God

  76. brought us to Canada because one of his greatest latter day moves

  77. is going to be in Canada. You Canadians bother me

  78. sometimes. No, I am so serious.

  79. Because when God is speaking about your country, you, you

  80. just sit here and don't even receive what God's saying about

  81. your country. And you got your eyes steadily

  82. on America and God's trying to move here so you can show

  83. America how to do it. You can.

  84. You can show the world you don't need a president, you need a

  85. king. Right, if you got to understand

  86. who what country is really Kingdom, you got to get the

  87. orphan spirit out of Canada starting with you.

  88. All this land that God has preserved in this country is

  89. because the globe is moving here.

  90. You better wake up the globe is moving here and you better get

  91. ready church because the globe is moving here.

  92. There's wait there. There's enough land in this

  93. country to develop till Jesus return.

  94. So get yourself ready and stop being a lame people in the sense

  95. of fearful passive sorry in looking at other people and to

  96. looking at Trump and Trudeau and all these people.

  97. What are you doing with your authority?

  98. Are you using your authority better than Trump?

  99. Are you using your your Dominion better than Trudeau?

  100. Are you making good decisions on behalf of your family and the

  101. city while you looking at how other people are leading their

  102. country? How are you priests doing?

  103. How are you doing with your crown yo mantle?

  104. And your crown and mantle is greater than any office in the

  105. world system. So how are you doing?

  106. You're complaining about how they're governing.

  107. How are you governing? Or do you let demons just like

  108. the government do run stuff? So get out of here talking and

  109. get your eyes on what are you doing with what God gave you.

  110. I just told you what Thus says the Lord revival, the next

  111. great. I'm talking about the next

  112. greatest recognize move of God is going to happen.

  113. You, you mark my word. Don't believe me?

  114. I really don't care. Move.

  115. Move. Wherever you want to move, but

  116. you going to turn your head back north and you going to say,

  117. Dang, now you got to spend all the money on them flights to

  118. come and visit where God moving? I'm not just where I belong, I'm

  119. where God is. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

  120. And so, so, so, so we're celebrating 7 years.

  121. So people understand when you're celebrating 7, that means 7 is

  122. over. So you can't talk about 7

  123. without looking at 8:00. Hope you brought your prophetic

  124. ears today. OK, not going to rub on your

  125. back, but I'm going to push your back today.

  126. Come on. OK, you're going to get a nudge,

  127. not a rug. OK, So we got to look at at 8 as

  128. well, although we're talking about celebrating 7, OK.

  129. And so as we look at at this #7 symbolizes completeness, OK?

  130. It symbolizes completeness. 7 symbolizes inner wisdom,

  131. spiritual awakening, spiritual growth, spiritual perfection, or

  132. in other words, maturity. So if we're going to celebrate

  133. seven years, you got to celebrate.

  134. It's time to grow up. Hallelujah.

  135. Some scholars believe that the #7 represent divine intervention

  136. or spiritual completeness, new beginnings, resurrection, and a

  137. new order or creation when we're looking at the number 8.

  138. So in other words, the word the #7 represents complete, done,

  139. finished, sealed, closed. When you step, when you step

  140. into you, you step into. 88 don't happen to you for some of

  141. y'all 7 happened to you, but eight you step into all right,

  142. all right, all right, 8:00 you got to step into somebody say

  143. step in. Even if you sit down, step in,

  144. come on, step in somebody step in.

  145. Eight represents new beginnings, fresh start, fresh life, fresh

  146. held, fresh mindset, fresh power, fresh endurance, fresh

  147. capacity. Somebody shout out fresh right.

  148. That's why you can't be looking at the all.

  149. You can't be looking looking back at who left you and and

  150. look for seven years or even the last year in the seven or the

  151. last two years, whatever you can see that happened in the last 7.

  152. Lord says let it go, leave it behind.

  153. It's over. And if it comes back in your

  154. life, do not say I bless you with it.

  155. I'm giving somebody some, some very good wisdom because because

  156. God don't mind what you begging for to reenter your life.

  157. Hallelujah, Chaka Khan. So don't think everything that

  158. returns is a blessing. No, everything.

  159. Sometimes stuff that returns is God moving His hand because he

  160. tired of wrestling with you and the past.

  161. Everything that returned, although it brings you joy, it

  162. does not it mean it brings God joy.

  163. So I'm telling you, there's some stuff that God's grace and mercy

  164. has kept out of your life because it is a sign it's time

  165. to move on. You ready not wait some of y'all

  166. think because stuff ain't showing up it's God saying.

  167. Wait. The flip side of that is stuff

  168. ain't showing up because God's saying move on.

  169. He's not saying wait, he's saying go forward.

  170. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

  171. Hallelujah. Although Jesus, although Jesus

  172. rose on the third day in the in the in the, in the and it was

  173. third day from the day he died. OK, but in the span of the week,

  174. he rose on the day on the eighth day, if you don't count it like

  175. us, right? You got to understand that that

  176. next day was an eighth day, right?

  177. The tomb was, was it was a day of completeness.

  178. Here's what he said. It's finished.

  179. And then what happened? So in other words, fresh you,

  180. you ought to understand #8 has resurrection power acquainted to

  181. it? I don't know if my mic is loud

  182. enough. OK, Can y'all hear me?

  183. Is it, is it enough punch on it for you?

  184. Can y'all like, y'all really feel it?

  185. Can y'all feel me? Look, it can go a little higher,

  186. all right? Can we turn it up a little

  187. higher? Just a little bit?

  188. Just a little punch, OK? Low punch, low punch.

  189. So 8 has a resurrection acquainted to it, right?

  190. So. So I don't care if you've laid

  191. down for seven years, in this 8th year, you got to step into

  192. your getting up, man. Am I talking to somebody, man?

  193. Y'all go, Danny? Y'all gonna make me?

  194. Y'all gonna make me preach too hard today?

  195. I don't mind. I don't mind.

  196. It's all good. We was partying last night

  197. listening to some new music, Hallelujah.

  198. And it was good. Now understand this, you cannot

  199. go into this year asking God to pick you up if you're stepping

  200. into the new. He's already giving you the

  201. power to get up. You got to get up.

  202. I asked somebody, I don't know if here, if not, if you is here,

  203. it's all good. You can hear what I think about

  204. you. Hey, man.

  205. So this is like, it's just like, you know, when people come to me

  206. after, you know, you come in, you come out, you come in, you

  207. come out, you come in, you come out, you come in and come out.

  208. And your confession is based on the emotions of the season

  209. you're in. So what that means is you're in

  210. a season and then you, you start, man, ah, man, God being

  211. good. I'm going to serve.

  212. I'm going to be here all the time.

  213. I love God. Oh my God, right.

  214. You just your kid fashions and your conversation is based on

  215. the emotion of a new life, not the revelation of it.

  216. So then you leave and you, we don't see you for months and you

  217. come back. And then you got to feel like

  218. you got to explain and you like, Nah, I ain't going to say

  219. nothing but. You're going to see me around

  220. more. And I'm like you, you, you don't

  221. have to do that. This is home.

  222. This is your, this is your home. But what I am telling some of

  223. y'all is the sonics of your praise has to change.

  224. You got to get out of that that that that barely making it vibe

  225. like like your smiles should increase.

  226. You should look brighter. This is Bible.

  227. I'm talking there. If you're if you're saturated in

  228. the glory of God, in the goodness of God, if if God is on

  229. your mind, if you are growing and maturing and prospering not

  230. in money but soul wealth, there should be a lighterness about

  231. you As years go on, we should be able to see a growing in you.

  232. We shall be we it should go from a time where we met you at flat

  233. tire. Now all of a sudden you you got

  234. you got springs in your walk right, right.

  235. All these we got to keep on pushing.

  236. You ever just say hello to people and they hello is a flat

  237. tire. It's just like, hey, how you

  238. doing? I'm I'm good.

  239. No come on man, come on. You got Jesus in your life, you

  240. got resurrection in your life. Come on.

  241. You got hope in your life. Come on, come on.

  242. Why we always got to pump you up like like no get?

  243. Up. Somebody say 7.

  244. Somebody say hey. You see seven in the Bible

  245. several 100 times. You also see 8.

  246. There's seven days in a week. Right.

  247. Seven planets, seven deadly sins, 7 manifestations of the

  248. Spirit. 7th day God entered rest. 7th day God.

  249. I could. I could rest.

  250. Now, and it's funny, last year the word was the hardest.

  251. Thing you going to do? This year is rest, and then we

  252. come to this. Why?

  253. Why does God ordain seasons of rest?

  254. Like seasons of mundaneness is ordained by God where it seems

  255. like it's a lack of activity. Ask the farmer what happens

  256. after he sows. Like why are we so antsy when

  257. nothing seems to be popping off instead of waiting for what's

  258. about to pop up, right? And a lot of burnout happens

  259. because you, you forfeited your season of rest.

  260. And then when the season of acceleration comes, you like, Oh

  261. my God, I can't handle this. But right, you just because you

  262. was trying to do everything on your own and be busy for a whole

  263. season. And God was just like, man, come

  264. to church, go home. I got a couple friends that are

  265. going to bring rest. Do you know seasons?

  266. Of rest require certain friends to not be in that season, OK.

  267. Today's message is called Everything Changed. 7 was tough,

  268. but 8 is enough. Everything changed.

  269. Somebody say everything change. I want you to guys to see this

  270. prophetic movement. I just got this, you know, as I

  271. was preparing in the back. When you think of completeness,

  272. you think of a circle. No, Canada is is that this?

  273. I mean fine, if a circle is something else here, I'm I'm

  274. willing to learn right, It's complete right.

  275. OK love question you some of y'all don't realize that we hit

  276. a circle. We started in New West, went to

  277. Vancouver, took Highway 1 to Langley, and then he brought us

  278. right back in our journey. God took us.

  279. Around the Lower Mainland even took us to Abbotsford.

  280. So he took us new West here, went all the way to Abbotsford

  281. Langley. Surrey.

  282. You can't tell me the implications of whatever God was

  283. doing in those seven years in Love Quest and anybody that was

  284. a part of it. It's complete.

  285. Everything has changed this year.

  286. Samuel did what God told him. Say that's me.

  287. Samuel did what God told him when he arrived at Bethlehem,

  288. right? God said, hey, I need you to go

  289. take some oil. I got somebody you need to

  290. anoint as king. This other joke over here didn't

  291. quite do what I said. And so I'm going to lift my

  292. mantle up off of him and I need to shift what I'm doing.

  293. Samuel did what God told him when he arrived at Bethlehem.

  294. The town fathers greeted him, but apprehensively.

  295. Is there something wrong? This is what we got to get to

  296. generation. When the prophet showed up,

  297. everybody knew something was about to pop off.

  298. And that's why when God brings prophets, when He reveals and

  299. unveils prophets and apostles in the land, you better take notice

  300. because He's getting ready to do something.

  301. I'm trying to tell you. That's why he will plant

  302. churches like this that will set the gifts of the five fold

  303. ministry in the house. It's going to be known.

  304. There will be prophets in this house.

  305. There will be apostles, pastors, teachers and evangelists.

  306. And as they're unveiled, came nobody.

  307. You can ignore it. You can you can argue that it

  308. ain't for today. You can act dumb.

  309. You cannot read your Bible. But when God is setting these

  310. things not just in the building, but in the region, He is getting

  311. ready to. Do something large and and

  312. Kingdom shifting and culture shifting.

  313. He was like, is there, is there something wrong?

  314. Nothing wrong. I've just come to sacrifice this

  315. heifer and LED you in the worship of God.

  316. Lead you in the worship of God. We're going to sacrifice heifers

  317. and lead you in the worship of God.

  318. Prepare yourselves. Somebody say prepare, prepare,

  319. Be consecrated. Somebody say consecrate and join

  320. me in worship. Somebody say worship, love,

  321. quest. For sure you have done all three

  322. of those. You have prepared, you have

  323. consecrated yourself, and you have worshiped God.

  324. He made sure Jesse and his sons were also consecrated and called

  325. to worship. When they arrived, Samuel took

  326. one look at Eliab and thought, Here he is.

  327. This is the one that I've come to anoint for sure.

  328. God's anointed but God told Samuel looks aren't everything.

  329. Don't be impressed with his looks and stature.

  330. Here it is. It is very important for

  331. prophets and the prophetical and everybody that think they got a

  332. prophetic ministry to understand.

  333. Sometimes you off. It doesn't mean here it is those

  334. that are scared to walk in the prophet or be it or or a

  335. ministry of prophecy. It does not mean that you don't

  336. walk in it. It means you got to constantly

  337. listen to God. So you got to see.

  338. You can't be afraid to call it out.

  339. But you. Also can't be afraid to realign

  340. so don't be discouraged. But here's what the enemy wants

  341. you to do is be stubborn and unsubmitted.

  342. His brother was like, oh, for sure.

  343. That's the one that says, no, calm down, right?

  344. And he goes forward. He says, don't be impressed with

  345. his looks, his stature. This is why people in the

  346. prophetic ministry, you can't be worldly.

  347. You can't be moved by flattery. You can't be easily impressed by

  348. people, OK? And this house has to be trusted

  349. with people of high stature. I don't care how famous you are,

  350. I don't care how much money you got.

  351. You come to this church, you're going to get aligned with the

  352. will and the word of God. No one's moved by all that.

  353. We have mantels to guard because we have cities to take.

  354. Can you write that down there? I've seen your head go down

  355. there to Roseanne right away. Get that to your prayer team.

  356. We have mantels to guard because we have cities to take.

  357. I've already eliminated him. God said I just boy, move on to

  358. the next one. I've already he ain't it.

  359. That's why. That's why folks come to you

  360. talking about man God. Hey fellas or ladies.

  361. Any guy, any, any girl come to you talking about God said that

  362. you, my spouse, don't listen you you can't, you can't just say,

  363. but God didn't tell me that you got to say I rebuke you demon in

  364. the name of Jesus. Just tell him God's already

  365. eliminated you. Here it is God judges persons

  366. differently. I'm not going to get through all

  367. this. This message is going to be 1

  368. big message 22 experiences. Just stick around this channel

  369. version stick around all day. OK, I've I've already eliminated

  370. you and God judges persons differently than humans do men

  371. and women look at the what face? That's why man, you know what I

  372. mean? Yeah like like, come on fellas

  373. and let let me help you man out. Your pastor is not this old

  374. dude. I'm on Instagram, OK?

  375. And it says a lot about you at the stuff you like, you know,

  376. because if we follow each other it it's going to show up and

  377. some of y'all I'm like come on you like it's OK if you going to

  378. look, but just don't like it. Don't don't tell on yourself.

  379. Especially if you married. Come on man.

  380. You go both ways. Go both ways.

  381. And if you single trying to guard your singleness, stop

  382. flirting through lights, Hallelujah, God looks into the

  383. heart. Now look, God looks into the

  384. heart. This is very important.

  385. This is very important because. Too many of you look at the

  386. face. Look at the pocketbook.

  387. And you ignore the fruit of the heart.

  388. And you say they got a good heart.

  389. You get what I'm saying, Dave Dick, You know what I'm saying?

  390. You'll ignore. No, no, no.

  391. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

  392. OK, so stop talking about. But he, he got a good heart,

  393. though. Just give him some time.

  394. No, you give him time to his life, his heart aligned up with

  395. the will of God for him or her, the heart.

  396. God looks at the heart. Why?

  397. Don't you he just give him time. He got a good heart when he with

  398. me. He don't act like that.

  399. Come on man, come somebody say new beginnings man you got to

  400. think different, be different, make make different choices.

  401. Stop setting it. Give time for they heart to

  402. change and then after that seat and get ready, give time for God

  403. to get a hold of their hearts. Here it is.

  404. And then when God get a hold of their heart, give God time to

  405. unfold their new man. Let me help you.

  406. You want to marry the new man I really AM.

  407. God looks into the heart. Jesse then called up Abinadab.

  408. Abenadab is a name, man. I ain't been a man.

  409. I've been. I would have been a man.

  410. For sure. I would have.

  411. Been a madman. Amen.

  412. Hallelujah. Jesse then called up Abenadab

  413. and presented him to Samuel. Samuel said this man isn't God's

  414. choice either. Look at Samuel corrected it

  415. quick. He went like.

  416. Ah, this the one he said Nope, this ain't it either.

  417. I'm not fooling with God right now.

  418. Nope, this the one this ain't. I'm saying all of y'all cancel.

  419. No, here it is. Because sometimes y'all don't

  420. start with Nope, this ain't the one.

  421. Sometimes y'all start with is this you ask?

  422. Is this the one? The moment you ask that

  423. question, it's over, because you're looking for signs and

  424. wonders. Listen, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm a

  425. pastor. So I get tired of counseling

  426. some of these old broke down relationships that you could

  427. have. So I'm trying to be proactive.

  428. To save my lifespan, OK. Samuel said this man isn't God's

  429. choice either. Now he talking like God.

  430. Next Jesse presented Shamar. Samuel said Nope, this man ain't

  431. it either. You see, You see what I'm

  432. saying? Because it's not he just saying

  433. no, he corrected his judgement. Now God going to have to show me

  434. he's the one you can't let. Yes.

  435. Or is it lead you? Sometimes you have to let your

  436. no leads you OK, No leads to revelation more than your quick

  437. little yes. You can't be led by, is it?

  438. That's how Eve got you get what I'm saying?

  439. You got Nope, Nope. You might be Nope for seven

  440. years, but but hey, but that flesh been tested.

  441. I'm trying to help some of y'all.

  442. This man isn't God's choice either.

  443. Jesse presented his seven sons. Jesse presented Seven sons Love

  444. Quest. We we have song, we have work.

  445. And we have presented 7 years to God.

  446. And I want you to know God chose you, but not the seven years.

  447. I know this is going to wreck you right now.

  448. God chose you, not the seven years.

  449. I mean, you've got to hear it. And you're wondering why stuff

  450. didn't pop off for you, these glasses.

  451. Because those seven years weren't chosen.

  452. You were chosen to get out of those seven years what God

  453. needed for the aid. You ready?

  454. God still uses what He's not choosing.

  455. I am under. I understand that that when I

  456. don't produce or when something don't show up or when I feel

  457. overlooked it. It's not about people or haters.

  458. That God didn't choose that time for me.

  459. You ready? He chose.

  460. He chose me for that time. I'm trying to, I'm trying to

  461. help some of y'all people. God didn't choose that time for

  462. me. He chose me for that time.

  463. When you understand that you have more to offer the time than

  464. the time has to offer you, you ready the last seven years.

  465. You were the blessing to the seven years, right?

  466. The earth. The earth needed you in these

  467. last seven years. Your Mama, your your daddy, your

  468. your coworkers, your neighborhood.

  469. You were the blessing. But you're about to step into a

  470. time where the where, where, where the earth that is.

  471. Full is about to move on your behalf and God is saying this

  472. time is for you. What do you say in due season?

  473. If you faint nods, you shall read.

  474. You. You were what the season needed.

  475. You were a blessing to the time. Let's go back to the garden.

  476. God created everything. And then he said what?

  477. Is it missing you? Everything that was created was

  478. not the blessing. If there was no you in creation,

  479. then it had no purpose. But I'm here to tell you where

  480. it seemed like people rejected you, You brought favor and

  481. blessing in their lives. Look, they they weren't supposed

  482. to release a harvest to you. They weren't supposed to be your

  483. client. They weren't supposed to see

  484. you. They weren't supposed to respect

  485. you. You brought something in their

  486. lives that they will see and respect and honor and reap from

  487. down the line. But you.

  488. But God is about to bring your provider in this season.

  489. God is about to bring your Boaz in this season.

  490. God is about to turn until and he's about to release in this

  491. season. These last seven years have not

  492. been in vain. Your suffering has not been in

  493. vain. Your confusion has not been in

  494. vain. Your rejection has not been in

  495. vain. Your pain has not been in vain.

  496. Your grief has not been in vain. Your loss has not been in vain.

  497. Your sickness has not been in vain.

  498. Your money, your financial loss has not been in vain.

  499. Yet nothing has been in vain. The relationships that you fell

  500. out of has not been in vain. The challenge is the trouble

  501. that you have faced has not been in vain.

  502. You were for the last seven years more than the last seven

  503. years was for you. But in the next 7 years you are

  504. going to see the favor of God on your life.

  505. The last seven years was the favor of God to to so that the

  506. last seven years wouldn't take you out.

  507. The last seven years the favor of God showed up as protection.

  508. And I'm telling you, if you made it out of the last seven years,

  509. you have prospered. You're crossing into the 8th

  510. year with your mind. You're crossing into the 8th

  511. year with your health. Some of y'all wondering how all

  512. of a sudden your body's starting to line up.

  513. It's because it's Yeah, all of a sudden you are starting to be.

  514. Released from assignments that you thought you'd never get out

  515. of. But there are new mantels

  516. falling. There are melodies falling.

  517. There is new strength falling. There is financial freedom

  518. falling. Listen to me there.

  519. There are fresh opportunities falling.

  520. There are divine partnerships finally coming in alignment.

  521. I'm telling you, you like two years ago, even a year ago, you

  522. wasn't ready for the partnerships that's about to

  523. come. You wasn't ready to handle the

  524. amount of money that is about to accelerate over these next 9/9.

  525. Months you wasn't ready. You wasn't ready for the

  526. relationship. And even in our ignorance, His

  527. grace and His mercy has carried us through a tumultuous 7 years.

  528. Now, I want you guys to know as your pastor, don't think that it

  529. was not hard these seven years. We was two years old going into

  530. COVID people's mindsets. The government where people

  531. people minds was all over. People in our church lost family

  532. members to COVID. Man, if you see the grace of

  533. God, it didn't stop the main thing, man, and I'm telling you

  534. that was the grace and the mercy of God that these last seven

  535. years, the stuff that has happened did not take us out.

  536. And you think God's going to let us get through these last seven

  537. years and we going to keep going at the same pace with the same

  538. level of faith? No, no, no.

  539. We have gone to a new dimension of favor and glory in the Lord.

  540. Come on, shout out, step into it.

  541. You didn't just find this church in the last two weeks, the last

  542. year, just by happenstance. I'm telling you, you have walked

  543. into a divine house for what God has inside of you.

  544. And now that you have gotten yourself in this house, there is

  545. stuff He is trying to release out of you.

  546. There is stuff He is trying to bring up out of you.

  547. I'm telling you now, you have stepped in a house where you are

  548. safe to heal. You, you are safe to be

  549. delivered now, now, now God can show you the truth about

  550. yourself. Now God can bring reconciliation

  551. in your family. Now God can bring financial

  552. freedom. Now you're going to see chains

  553. falling off. Now you can be vulnerable again.

  554. Now come on, now is the time. Come on, shout out now.

  555. Forget I made it this far to stop now I made it to this far

  556. to not. I didn't make it this far to not

  557. receive. No, no, no, no.

  558. My pain got to pay now. Pain is spelled PAYN.

  559. Today my pain got to pay. I didn't shed these tears.

  560. I didn't curl up and like a baby in the middle of the night

  561. crying out to God, wondering, is this it?

  562. Is this all? God, are you done with me?

  563. Did I fail? Lord, I'm sorry if I missed it.

  564. God, did you call me in this country?

  565. Why are me and my kids going through this?

  566. Why is me and my children? Why is me and my wife God?

  567. God, did I miss it? Did I make it?

  568. Did I make the right decision? Lord, you got us in the garage.

  569. It's been. Three years.

  570. God man, y'all Look man, we did not make it this far to settle.

  571. God's about to use it all. When you when.

  572. You talk about completeness. It's not just about you

  573. complete. You're about to.

  574. You're about to step into the glory.

  575. Of the complete like you're about to step into a season

  576. where God's about to reveal to you some stuff that you going to

  577. be like, oh Lord, I, I, I, I wanted to die.

  578. But This is why you help me get through it.

  579. Like I'm talking about this circle of completeness.

  580. You about to see all the years of that family pain, the

  581. generational curses. The the the.

  582. Grief like yeah, I'm. And some of you are experiencing

  583. it. You, you, you, you are seeing.

  584. I can see color again. You.

  585. Some of you have stepped into it.

  586. I'm giving you language for this new season.

  587. You've been walking in where you like.

  588. Oh, I feel a I feel a lightness. I feel a boldness I haven't felt

  589. in a while. I feel the courage I haven't

  590. felt in a while. I found family.

  591. I found the tribe. Some of you feel a little guilty

  592. that you have that you, you have so much love here that you don't

  593. even have with biological family.

  594. But God, I'm telling you, it's not just love you're getting

  595. here. It's healing.

  596. God is God. I want you to hear this.

  597. God is healing you from the abandonment.

  598. So you got to receive it. Don't try to receive blessing

  599. and and monetary before you receive the healing, a new

  600. heart, a new mind. Come on, I'm I'm I'm, I'm

  601. talking to a few of you. God is saying yes, you've been

  602. strong you yes, you've made it through.

  603. You are a warrior. But a lot of that was your own

  604. strength in your own strength, you shut off things that I gave

  605. you. You shut you ready in that, in

  606. that in your in your way of making it.

  607. You shut off vulnerability. And I can't use my gifts are

  608. rooted in vulnerability. I can't, I can't use you like I

  609. want to without you being vulnerable and, and being

  610. willing to pay the cost of being hurt.

  611. So now in this new season, I am trying to really give you a

  612. heart of flesh and, and, and, and help you.

  613. Here it is help you trust again. Here's trust.

  614. There's a difference between faith and trust slightly and

  615. some of you have great faith, but weak trust.

  616. Faith is the substance of things hoped for an evidence.

  617. In order to have faith you need substance of things and you need

  618. evidence. Trust you might not have no

  619. evidence. You might I.

  620. Don't know how it's going to happen but God I trust you.

  621. I don't see healing nowhere insight.

  622. I don't see financial freedom nowhere insight.

  623. I don't see my child coming home.

  624. I don't see my marriage working. Here it is faces such things

  625. hoped for. You ready?

  626. You cannot have faith without hope.

  627. You can trust without hope. How can I trust what I hope?

  628. Because it's like God, you take the will.

  629. I don't know how this going to happen.

  630. I'm trusting. You know, I don't have no

  631. evidence. Ain't no evidence nowhere

  632. around. I have lost my hope.

  633. It has deferred. Everybody have let me down.

  634. Everybody has. Every time I try, I get hurt and

  635. maybe a part of it is me. I take ownership.

  636. But God, in this next season, here it is.

  637. Here it is. I, I, I trust you.

  638. When there's no sign of rain, no evidence of rain.

  639. God, I'm just going. I'm, I'm going to hammer away

  640. because I trust you. You said it.

  641. Sure, I trust. No, no.

  642. Ain't no way I'm going to get pregnant without having sex,

  643. Mary. But I trust you.

  644. I just take you at your word. I, I, I don't know.

  645. I have no evidence. I'm too tired to hope for those

  646. who, who, who have thought you had no faith.

  647. What if I told you? Maybe you didn't.

  648. But here, here's the power. When you have no faith, you can

  649. always choose to trust and the enemy can't really stop your

  650. faith because all you got to do is hear.

  651. All you need is evidence. Sometimes the evidence is like

  652. oh Elder John made it. What he's trying to take is your

  653. trust. It's why God says trust me with

  654. all your lean not to your own understanding.

  655. Here it is. He's telling you to trust me.

  656. You can't even look at your understanding of evidence.

  657. And I'm telling you, some of y'all want to know how you made

  658. it. You don't give yourself enough

  659. credit. You thought because you didn't

  660. have faith, you didn't trust God.

  661. I'm, I'm here to tell some of y'all, if you didn't trust God,

  662. you wouldn't have made it. We idolize faith because it's

  663. the substance of things. Whole ministries are built off

  664. of the Word of Faith. But we have not taught people of

  665. simple trust. And This is why the end of you

  666. experienced abandonment. It didn't deal with your faith.

  667. It dealt with your trust. People of authority have hurt

  668. you. It didn't deal with your faith.

  669. It's why you hear people who have been hurt say, I, I, I love

  670. God, but I got issues with authority and people.

  671. It's trust. I don't trust my spouse.

  672. I don't trust people. I'm paranoid, can't fully let

  673. go. I'm telling you, the season

  674. requires vulnerability. It requires a heart of flesh.

  675. I can't. I can't.

  676. I can't go any further. Save this.

  677. I want you to understand faith it all, everything.

  678. Faith, substance of things, hopeful evidence of things not

  679. seen. But let this hit you.

  680. The Father is asking, will you trust me in this season?

  681. See if you got evidence, Deborah, if you got evidence,

  682. you can kind of make sense out of the waiting.

  683. But man trust you. Take a blow.

  684. I trust you, God, somebody else walk out of your life, Lord, I

  685. trust you. People keep not understanding

  686. you Lord, but I trust you. Lord I keep.

  687. Falling in my same patterns, but I trust you.

  688. I don't. I don't see how I'm going to be

  689. this thing you're calling me to be, but.

  690. God, I trust you. I don't.

  691. I don't see God how you would accept.

  692. Me after I've done all of this. Trust you.

  693. Let me tell you something. The Keely heals up a marriage's

  694. trust. Take the trust off of a

  695. marriage, you know it ain't going to work.

  696. It doesn't always make sense. And not it Does it have to?

  697. But the miracle. Work and power of trust.

  698. We've been faith, faith, faith, faith, faith, faith, faith,

  699. faith, faith, faith, faith, faith, faith, faith, faith,

  700. faith, faith, faith, faith. We need faith.

  701. I am not discrediting faith. I'm not saying trust and don't

  702. faith. But man trusts.

  703. Faith takes evidence in the substance of things.

  704. Trust takes vulnerability. Because I may not get.

  705. There's nothing insight of return.

  706. I had to make some choices in my marriage to get things right.

  707. Here it is and restore my wife's trust.

  708. And her lack of trust didn't start with me, but as a man.

  709. I came in her life and I didn't contribute to the to the to the

  710. healing of her trust issues. She had been.

  711. Hurt as a little girl. She had been abused.

  712. She had been abandoned. So here I am hurt myself and

  713. then I have behavior that triggers her pain.

  714. So then now I'm a compound fracture.

  715. I'm I'm compounding on it. I give my life to Jesus and then

  716. over time. She's a baby.

  717. She's at the time she's a baby in Christ.

  718. So she has to have faith in God. While she didn't trust me, but

  719. in order for our marriage to work, she had to trust.

  720. But I also. Had to do some things to rebuild

  721. trust, and I'm telling you that God is going to restore.

  722. Those broken pieces in your life and he's going to restore them

  723. with new pieces. This is not the year of caulking

  724. and. And glue God's not gluing the

  725. pieces. Back together, you're going to

  726. be. Whole understand that this is

  727. not going to be a time where God is just.

  728. No, no, no, no. God is interested in a whole new

  729. heart, heart transplant, trust transplant.

  730. I just hear the Father saying will you trust me first?

  731. Him, not me, him, see. Because until you could trust

  732. him, you can't even. Like there's some people.

  733. That in order to disciple them, you ready for this?

  734. You're going to have to trust them with your heart.

  735. True discipleship requires you trusting who you're discipling

  736. with your heart. Because you're saying follow me

  737. and I'm going to let you into some intimate places in my life.

  738. And some of you stay away from discipleship and you gather

  739. around other broken pieces, familiarity.

  740. And this season, God needs you to trust because he needs you to

  741. start helping some people who don't trust.

  742. He needs you to start helping some people who are broken.

  743. It's not turning around. It's turned around your faith

  744. and trust. I'm going to lead you into the

  745. the revelation of what has turned around for you.

  746. I am, I am, I am saying this to you.

  747. It has shifted. I am telling you that God is

  748. dealing with those people's hard places.

  749. This is a season. For the last seven years, you've

  750. been trying to. Disciple and minister to family

  751. and friends and God is saying move on.

  752. You have sown. Trust the sea, trust the sea.

  753. Move on to new soil. This.

  754. You're going to be really hurt if you keep pressing the matter.

  755. God is about to bring you into relationships where you are

  756. going to see an accelerated harvest from your discipleship

  757. and from your witness. You're going to witness the

  758. people, you're going to share word with people.

  759. You're going to open your heart to people and you are going to

  760. see the, the, the you're going to reap joy from the the

  761. quickness of their response. You're about to experience the

  762. reward of the soul winner. It has turned around.

  763. Lift your hands as a prophetic posture of receiving.

  764. It says seek me first and my Kingdom, my righteousness, the

  765. way I do things and all these things will be added until you

  766. you know you notice he put things what faith is needed for

  767. things. Seeking him takes trust.

  768. Receiving things take faith, but let me help you.

  769. Your faith should always start with trust.

  770. Say it again, your faith. Should always be motivated.

  771. By trust not motivated by the things.

  772. Because when the things. Don't.

  773. Show up, or they get squandered, or the things shift, or the

  774. things delay. You can keep what seeking.

  775. But I'm here. To tell you guys, for those that

  776. truly make a decision to not waver this year you will

  777. experience what your soul has been waiting for and I feel it

  778. in the room. Some of you have been yearning

  779. to the point of pain to see family members, to see revival

  780. in your bloodline, to see revival in your Co workers, to

  781. see revival in yourself. I am telling you it is lifting,

  782. it is shifting. I'm telling you your stance has

  783. not been in vain. You ready?

  784. Just because you were in the fetal position does not mean in

  785. God's eyes you weren't standing. Just because you were hunched

  786. over in pain and ready to give up, it does not mean I want you

  787. to see the woman with the issue of blood.

  788. Look at her position and her posture when she reached Jesus.

  789. She didn't yell at Jesus, she just touched Him.

  790. And the fact that you are here today, I need you to see it.

  791. You have pulled on the hem. I know some of y'all story.

  792. I know what it took you not to get here this morning, but for

  793. you to get here today. Now I'm not talking about this

  794. building. I'm talking about to wake up

  795. today to get to 2025. Just quickly think back over the

  796. years, some of you marriage you didn't think was going to have

  797. the joy that it has right now. Some of you that I know some of

  798. y'all he was going to use his Verity to ride till Jesus

  799. returned. But God has revived your

  800. marriage. You thought you was going to

  801. have to. Bury that shame and bury that

  802. incident that happened. God is somehow because here,

  803. here it is. The reason He is impressing it

  804. on your heart to deal with it is because not only did the memory

  805. show up or the conviction show up, but He is also giving you

  806. the courage to deal with it. So let me tell you, you are

  807. anointed to walk in your freedom.

  808. The healing bomb and I want you to know I want you to know some

  809. of. You.

  810. Are freaking out over having to deal with certain things here.
