-
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.
-
The Lord is here. Come on, tell somebody I got too
-
much proof. Hallelujah.
-
Can we get the blank bubble gum cotton candy screen off please?
-
Can we get some words up there? The the title, The title of the
-
There we go. Hallelujah, There we go.
-
I'm sorry guys, I get nervous when I see floating cotton balls
-
and stuff. My bad.
-
Hallelujah. Come on.
-
Say I'm anointed. Say I'm disruptive and say I'm
-
prospering in every season. Say I'm anointed, say I'm
-
disruptive, they say I'm prospering.
-
OK, before we move forward, I want you to know all those
-
churches supposed to start at 11:30.
-
We did not start at 11:30. So when you leave, don't be
-
telling people who was at church for three hours you was not
-
church started at what time? 12:00 So we've been in here for
-
how long? In one hour.
-
OK, Hallelujah. And for the late people, you
-
made it on time. Thank you Jesus.
-
Come on, say I'm anointed, I'm disruptive, I'm prospering and
-
I'm on time. The holy fire of God has
-
arrived. This is very important to know.
-
This is not a this is not something we're asking to come.
-
It is here, OK? Revival has not just merely
-
landed, that been happened at Love Quest.
-
That's why we could take off every Sunday and just come every
-
day because revivals landed. That's why we could spend the
-
first two months gathering almost every day, because
-
revival has landed. No one's just cutting every
-
Sunday off to do nothing. That's when the most attendees
-
come. That's when the most money come,
-
right? That's when you let people know
-
you. Here to serve them.
-
But revivals landed and God spent.
-
February given us an opportunity to turn the tables of our
-
Christian walk. When we see Jesus turntables,
-
it's because he was grieved at the spiritual health or lack
-
thereof of the believer and the church as a whole ain't well.
-
There is revival happening in pockets, but the state of the
-
average believer is absolutely weak.
-
If you look at any other religion that we call doing it
-
wrong, they are doing a lot of stuff that God would love his
-
children to do, like witness, like commit they whole life to
-
the faith, like be willing to sacrifice.
-
And this is what Paul tells the believer, do not take your
-
freedom in vain. If you are walking in true
-
freedom and you have a revelation of that freedom, it
-
leads you away from sin. It does not give you license to
-
sin. So you could tell a Christian
-
who saw God who walks with God versus a Christian who does the
-
things that think get God loving them right.
-
God God doesn't have to beg a child of God to give to attend
-
church, to serve, to be here midweek, to love, to share the
-
gospel, to live holy. That's not something the father
-
has to beg for. But in North American church, he
-
do you give us any reason to skip church to not give to to to
-
we we we we have absolutely become.
-
A We, we are weak. We, we pick and choose.
-
I want to go to this church not because it's it's best for my
-
accountability, not because it's going to challenge me.
-
We find church for convenience. We find church for community and
-
although community. Should be a part of the life of
-
the body. There's something greater, and
-
that is citizens, children of God, walking in the Kingdom,
-
walking in boldness. We should not be as anxious as
-
someone without Jesus. We should not be as depressed as
-
someone without Jesus. And then we got we got a buffet
-
of options. So even if we don't like
-
something about our church, we'll find another church we can
-
get our fix from. And then we compare and it's
-
like this ministry and that church doing it this way, why
-
our church ain't doing it that way?
-
Well, there's a lot of different expressions.
-
And if that church is doing it how you believe they should do
-
it and then ministers feel so you should be there.
-
See a preacher like myself? I need you to be where you're
-
supposed to be rather than filling seats for us to be able
-
to brag and say our church is. This and our church is that.
-
We need healthy people in seats, not just seats filled.
-
OK, but in this time you got to understand you are going to be
-
the worst Sinner. If you're a believer, you're
-
going to be the worst. God is going to trouble you like
-
nobody's business, OK? You're going to be double
-
minded. You're going to say sorry for
-
doing certain things. I got to do those times.
-
I would smoke and be like, oh man, Lord coming for us y'all
-
someday. That's how I got the name Rev
-
Rich. From people I used to get drunk
-
and high with, the church didn't give me reverence.
-
The Christians didn't give me reverence.
-
My homies I partied with. They called me the Reverend of
-
the sinners. I don't know if that's good or
-
bad, but they like this. Our Bishop out here, come on,
-
holy you are. Look at somebody and say, holy
-
you are. This is very, this is very
-
important, Kay, follow me. Have the people, have the people
-
of Israel build me a holy sanctuary.
-
Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary.
-
Have the people of Lovequest build me a holy sanctuary so I
-
can live here. It is among them.
-
You don't even know how good you got it because he was trying to
-
build something that he can live among the people.
-
He saved you so he can live in you there.
-
These are the people who God lived among.
-
You are the people who God lives in all.
-
Right. All right, all right.
-
Too much truth, Too much truth. Too much truth, too much proof.
-
OK, OK. And this is crazy because
-
Annabeth, we will walk in a building, walk in a building
-
like this and we'll we'll refrain from cussing.
-
We'll refrain from certain things.
-
We go out there and we act the fool.
-
And you've made this the value and not this you, you so cheap.
-
You, you don't even love or value yourself because you've
-
made this garage the holy place and not you, you come here, you
-
like, don't talk like that. You go out there and you be like
-
mother snag it literally. And then black smack it back and
-
back. And all of that is coming out
-
this temple. So what's the file?
-
What's the file? You, you, we forgot who we we
-
were. He says, have the people of
-
Israel build me a holy sanctuary.
-
You got to understand after the fall, you see God at work about
-
to redeem his people. So this is a shadow of what's to
-
come. This is a prophetic image of
-
what's to come, but he has to start with what man can see for
-
them to one day understand and receive what they can't see.
-
Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary so I can
-
live among them. You must build this Tabernacle
-
and its furnishings exactly according to the pattern I will
-
show you. And in other words, we are in
-
this temple to build it and live in it exactly how He has given
-
us the pattern to live. Worship is a part of the
-
pattern. It is not an option for you
-
because you like or don't like the music.
-
This right here and it's going to be a big, big thing.
-
But but but I I am because I was on the way here elder time and
-
I've helped the Lord say you're going to have to teach the
-
people about this holy Tabernacle and the three courts
-
and what they were for and bring revelate like we taught on the
-
blood. I think that's next for us.
-
OK, because there's three. There's the outer courts.
-
Where men gathered to really fellowship and socialize and
-
hang out. Then there was the inner courts,
-
where all the sacrifice and worship happened.
-
So if you didn't want to sacrifice or worship, you stayed
-
in the parking lot. If you were ready to worship and
-
sacrifice, you walked into the tent.
-
Inner courts. And if you wanted to get in the
-
holy holies, after you've laid your sacrifice down, you've
-
entered in and set at the feet of God.
-
At that time, the priest was only allowed to go into the
-
presence of God or the Holy of Holies, and that only once a
-
year. Once a year a priest represented
-
your sin, brought sacrifice. He had to have a bell on his, on
-
his, on his tassels, because if you, if he, if you didn't hear
-
them bells moving no more, you know, he dropped dead because
-
the person carrying your sin committed sin.
-
So, so so, so once a year you got to sin and you sin and you
-
live with guilt. Like like it's best you sin like
-
3 days before the sacrifice. So you only got to deal with
-
guilt and shame for three days. But if you wanted them New
-
Year's Eve sinners and you just sin at the top of the year, you
-
got to live the whole 12 months with guilt and shame and hope.
-
The man you give to sacrifice for you and and represent for
-
you. Before the Lord he wasn't
-
creeping. Now there was a high priest.
-
I'm ahead of myself. We've been trying.
-
Can I talk to you, Saints? We've been trying.
-
To find ourselves outside of holy.
-
We've been trying to find ourselves in Tony, Rob,
-
Robinson, whatever. We've been trying to find
-
ourselves in Oprah. We've been trying to find
-
ourselves through conferences and seminars.
-
We've been trying to find ourselves through plant based
-
diets. We've been trying to find
-
ourselves. Through becoming vegan.
-
We've been trying to find ourselves becoming.
-
Keto we've been trying to find ourselves in in in in in in in
-
in in going to we we we've been trying to find ourselves all
-
outside of holy. So after you've got your perfect
-
body, your beautiful lashes, your long hair, your wonderful
-
tan, after you visited California several times, after
-
you've went to Bali, Hawaii, after you've went to Italy,
-
after you've done everything that you've tried to do, after
-
you got your husband, a spouse, a man, a girl, after you've done
-
all of that, how is your soul? How's your soul?
-
After you got your nice car, If you got the millions, the goal
-
is reach. You're a millionaire now.
-
Hey, you bought you a house. Hey, you have amazing credit.
-
Hey, money solves all issues, tons of issues, but it can't
-
deal with your soul. And that's the time we're in.
-
He's coming back for a bribe without spot and blemish.
-
And that's not speaking to a body that is speaking to your
-
soul. He's coming back for a bribe
-
that's confident in who she is, that's free from pleasing man,
-
that is free from tradition and religion, that's free from it.
-
So after you've done. All that you needed to do to
-
fulfill your life? Where?
-
Where are you Christian? How's your worry meter?
-
Have you just found new language, got a therapist and
-
they taught you how to cope better?
-
But what you, what you got deal with your loneliness.
-
You deal with your urges. What what you got, you found.
-
The diet that worked for you and your body look good.
-
Bang bow, bow, bow. You found your the perfect lip
-
gloss that don't rub off when you you know what I'm saying?
-
You found the makeup, you found the perfect wig, you found you
-
got your plastic surgery, your lips bigger now your your
-
backside is. You know what I'm saying?
-
Like all these things. We're in that world, right?
-
How you feel after you close your computer from that website?
-
Did you fix the problem or you feel more guilty?
-
I'm talking male and females because females be on that thing
-
too. All right?
-
Just look down and act like you're writing or something.
-
Like just do. We've been trying to find
-
ourselves JT. Outside of holy.
-
So when I say holy you are, it probably doesn't hit a lot of
-
people because you don't relate to holy because the devil have
-
made you think that holy is this like nose in the air thing when
-
holy is actually who you are. You're you were holy before you
-
were dope. You were holy before you was
-
fine. You was holy before you were six
-
pack. Right.
-
That's what you were. You were holy.
-
No wonder we have power potential and not power living.
-
There's so much power in this room, potentially, but the
-
greatest level of power is access in holy living.
-
Folks, Elder John, folks, we want to be used by God, but holy
-
is not something we are. Willing to sacrifice to be.
-
But that's pretty, pretty arrogant pastor to call yourself
-
holy. All right, let's see how
-
arrogant Peter was. So then prepare your hearts and
-
minds for what action? Stay alert.
-
It's the scripture on the next slide over there.
-
PP Thank you. Prepare your hearts and minds
-
for what? Actually stay alert.
-
So what's the enemy's greatest plan right now?
-
To get you distracted. The great deception is at hand.
-
The great deception is at hand. The problem is not God's not
-
moving. God is moving, but we are too.
-
We won't stop moving. Stay alert and fix your hope
-
currently on marvelous grace that is coming to you for when
-
Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be
-
released for you as God's obedient children.
-
Never again. Here it is as God's obedient,
-
obedient children. Never again obedient children,
-
never again. Shape your lives by the desires
-
that you followed when you didn't know better.
-
Somebody shout out when you didn't know better.
-
No, no, shout it out when you didn't know better.
-
Look, look at your neighbors. Say, if you don't know, now you
-
know. Here it is.
-
Instead shape your lives. Somebody say.
-
Instead shape your lives to become like the what?
-
Holy. So he didn't just say hide in
-
His Holiness, He said you're holy.
-
If you're not living in holiness, you ain't really
-
living. Elder John didn't sound crazy to
-
some people, but there was times in the Bible he'd say go and sin
-
no more. Does that sound impossible?
-
You would tell some Christians that they no, no sin is just
-
what we no sin nature you can't get rid of All right, all right.
-
Sin nature you can't get rid of. But can you be disciplined to
-
not live in sin? Absolutely you can.
-
So we want we human, except for when pastors do something.
-
Wrong. So if you think the pastor
-
should stay away from sin, then what should you do?
-
Oh you're a Old Testament St. meaning you live by the law.
-
You didn't realize the New Testament you are the priest of
-
your temple. Oh Jesus Christ did weigh with
-
all of it. Now you don't need some pastor.
-
If pastor do sin, that sin on the pastor ain't going to mess
-
up your walk. No, the pastor's got a higher
-
standard, Sure, but what about you, Christian?
-
To become like the Holy One who called you for Scripture says
-
here it is because it is written you shall be holy.
-
Be holy, not do holy not be holy.
-
So I'm here to free you up. OK, ladies, if you still kind of
-
in your life, you want to walk in church and you got you want
-
your little short whop whop and you want your little, you know
-
what I'm saying? Then come on in here because
-
holy ain't long dresses. Holy ain't covering your face
-
up. Holy ain't nothing but playlist
-
that got pads on it. Holy is not Yeah, yeah, holy.
-
That that's not what holy is. What we've made it holy is not
-
turning down your secular music when you pass a church.
-
You. You know what I found out, Elder
-
Roseanne, is when I was high, I was holy.
-
I wasn't being holy, but in Christ I was holy.
-
That what I mean is, Gee, God saw me holy because once and for
-
all he had a holy sacrifice. So he wasn't looking at high
-
Terrance. He was looking at holy Jesus.
-
And in Jesus there I am in my father's eyes.
-
This is why. This is why the prodigal son's
-
father doesn't need prodigal son to come home and say I'm sorry.
-
The prodigal son's father can just say let's party and let's
-
clothe him in who he is. See, we God is not like man, but
-
it doesn't mean that we can't have God ways you want people to
-
pay for mistreating you. God doesn't need for you to do
-
anything but return. He's not like you.
-
God doesn't need his daughter to wear a long dress to see her
-
holy. All this work we doing is
-
undoing the power of the work Jesus has already done.
-
It's just you don't get the revelation, some of us, that he
-
did it all. And when you fall in love with
-
him, that's the power you need to stay away from sin.
-
You sin easy because you don't know who you are.
-
You settle early because you don't know who you are.
-
No, the first thing a man needs to know ladies, when you go out
-
on a date is you are anointed, you are holy and you are taken.
-
No, some of y'all don't like that.
-
Y'all desperate, desperate house Christians?
-
Amen. How you doing?
-
Hallelujah. See here.
-
Here's the power of that one tree.
-
The knowledge of good and evil has some of you paralysed.
-
Forget the act of sin, the knowledge of how good sin feels.
-
The knowledge of the sin that's available of not the knowledge
-
of the party that's available. The knowledge has you paralyzed.
-
So when I try to feed you revelation you are holy.
-
You can't even digest it. So we got to preach a sermon on
-
holiness for you to even scratch the surface to understand that's
-
who you are. Because for me to change my
-
identity and call and see myself holy versus pastor, rapper,
-
husband, father, all those things, that's too much work to
-
undo who I've made myself up to be.
-
And some of y'all don't want to do the work to change your
-
identity to the real you because that mean you got to show up
-
different tomorrow at work. But here it is.
-
I don't got to explain holy. It said be holy.
-
Yeah, Amen. You shall explain holy because
-
I'm holy. No, I don't say that.
-
It say you shall be show up holy.
-
Show up saying no. Oh, generation here's holy.
-
It's the part we're scared of, but that's OK, it's doable.
-
Absolute purity. He is.
-
The holy person is unstained by sin and evil.
-
He is perfect in every way and perfectly.
-
Good all the time. That sounds too perfect.
-
Exactly. He's all those things.
-
Hallelujah, here it is, here it is.
-
You're like this holy means belonging to or coming from God.
-
Now I don't know about nobody else, but I know who I came
-
from. I came from God.
-
This body was developed in my Mama from my daddy and how the
-
science work and all that. This body, this temple was
-
formed ashes, the ashes dust, the dust leaving the body bag,
-
but never in because you get what I'm saying.
-
But the other part of it, who I am, the part that never dies,
-
that part, that part, that part, you know, you know, this thing
-
that you sitting in right now, you want to trip out one time,
-
that little thing, you sit there right now about to be dead.
-
You know the thing you put makeup on, you know when you're
-
dead, they're going to put makeup on you and your lips
-
going to be, you know, if you got the plastic lip, they damn
-
damn thing can't hold up under pressure.
-
I'm sorry, I don't know nobody that got them lips, but I'm just
-
saying if you're in here, I'm sorry.
-
I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the plastic.
-
OK, here we go. Here we go, here we go.
-
That thing, that's that you walking around the world and you
-
look in the mirror and you, you. And that night time when we all
-
when you know what the thing you exfoliate because I'll be doing
-
my scan. I'll get on here trying to wipe
-
them wrinkles out. Anybody exfoliate?
-
Oh, every exfoliating is just in right now, right?
-
This right here gone. So without this, can I can you?
-
Who are you? You can't understand what I'm
-
talking about by thinking what I'm talking about.
-
He's talking about this. Who are?
-
Who are you when you look in the mirror and look past?
-
What you can see? Hey, hey, hey, Terence.
-
I was in the mirror yesterday. I said I don't know, it just
-
something took over my mouth and I said you're going to live a
-
long life. No, no, no.
-
Listen, listen, say hey, man, at the end, you're going to live a
-
long life. And in your old age you still
-
going to be vibrant and God's going to use you in your old
-
age. You're going to have all your
-
faculties working, you're going to have energy, you're going to
-
live a long life and you're going to die in peace.
-
I walked away like, OK, I don't know where that came.
-
From but Hallelujah, I received it right.
-
I'm talking to that one that could be tempted to be afraid as
-
he gets older, but I'm not talking this.
-
You can't stop this from aging, but what's inside of you can get
-
vibrant and vibrant and vibrant and vibrant.
-
This right here can be 50. This in here can be 10.
-
It says belonging to or coming from God.
-
I look at Genesis and this body that was formed had no life in
-
it. And then God blew me out of him.
-
Look at your neighbors, say where you came from, right?
-
That's why he looked at Nicodemus and was like,
-
Nicodemus was like, do I got to go back in?
-
That's what Nicodemus said. Y'all looking at me like I just
-
did something perverted, am I right?
-
Right. Nicodemus came to Jesus like to
-
be born again. Do I got to go back up in?
-
Do I got to go back in? Do I go ahead first?
-
Which way do I go again? Can you imagine Jesus looking at
-
Nicodemus? So so so so So what what what
-
was he talking about? He said you can't be born again
-
from this bro. You out, you out once popped out
-
just over pop up party. That's it, it's over.
-
But that living water and by the Spirit you can come alive again,
-
and I could take you back into the garden and live this holy
-
life that I had planned for you. I I really think I am.
-
Till you get real lit when we talk about relationship goals,
-
but you should never show up at an altar not knowing who you
-
are. That is wrong to that is wrong
-
to the person who hand you taken and it's wrong to your family.
-
You bring whole people to your family, people who know Jesus
-
Christ and desire you bring that you got you.
-
You don't. There is no better half.
-
God didn't make halves, He made what holes W did not hold with
-
hell in it. Here it is.
-
He says. Holy is untainted by evil or
-
sin. This is the power of the blood.
-
I can confidently say I stand here right now, unstained by
-
sin, sinless, saintly, regarded with or deserving deep respect,
-
awe, reverence and adoration. It's Exodus 19.
-
Look at him. God's been trying to do this for
-
ages. Obey my word, then you shall be
-
my own peculiar possession. And treasure, here it is.
-
This is why Jesus had to come, because this was impossible to
-
do. So he's like, boy, go and get
-
down there. Go and get down there and.
-
You're going to be coming to sacrifice so we can have to stop
-
having to do this over and over again.
-
So while they out there, while they yet sinners Christ died and
-
while you out there doing your foolery, guess what?
-
It's it's OK because it doesn't change what Christ did.
-
It's not OK because you're missing out.
-
He said you are a Kingdom of priests, holy nation,
-
consecrated, set apart to the worship of God.
-
All God wants from you is worship.
-
That's way more than a song. You can worship him in your
-
decisions. You can worship him in your
-
discipline. You can worship him in your
-
praise. You can worship him through
-
forgiveness. You can worship Him, that's all
-
he wants and here it is. That's all he deserves.
-
I can't worship my wife or my kids more than I worship Him.
-
We are his people, we are his children, and here it is.
-
Life will always everybody listening.
-
Life will always be frustrated and unsettling when merely
-
trying to change and make moves in order to have, feel and
-
arrive versus live, repent, seek, and be.
-
Everyone here has goals and aspirations because you think
-
that goal met will bring you a desired soul experience.
-
You want financial freedom because you think it's going to
-
bring you peace. But this kind of peace, God says
-
this peace did not come from the world.
-
You can't buy this peace. We've been trying to find us
-
outside of Holy Well. When I get married this, the
-
marriage is going to check all these boxes.
-
What boxes is marriage going to check that God didn't already
-
check you? You ready?
-
Marriage is not a hospital. We we can't keep living in
-
ignorance. You guys, sin is a separator and
-
separation versus ignorance. And So what the enemy's goal is
-
to separate you from God and here's one of his major ways how
-
he does it. He separates you from the body.
-
There is so much independent spirit in the body of.
-
Christ, I told people this. Yes, I told the team this
-
yesterday. We have a lot of people rooted
-
in church with wandering spirits.
-
You thought you thought that being rooted, serving, giving
-
was where it stopped. But here it is JT You have
-
people rooted in church, but in their mind they are thinking all
-
the time, when is God going to release me from here?
-
What's next for me? This was a great place for me to
-
get trained up for XY and Z. You're not really rooted.
-
You are by works, but your soul is not dug in the soil of the
-
house. So you can't benefit from the
-
soil of the house. If you only.
-
Uh oh. Hallelujah.
-
Nobody got shot. That was like, no, he good.
-
Caleb just lost his balance. I don't know if he had it, but
-
he lost it. Hallelu, watch your head.
-
Jesus. Somebody help Kayla.
-
Hallelujah. Come on.
-
Yeah. And he wasn't rooted.
-
That's. So he was a part of the
-
illustration, right? All right, there's another
-
revelation, guys. We're in a garage.
-
There's a door. And you OK, Caleb?
-
Oh, Lord. Can we just stay looking this
-
way, guys? Hallelujah.
-
One day that will never happen again, right?
-
He will find a different way to trip.
-
Amen. Holy.
-
You are holy. We are holy.
-
You're holy because he is. I want to give you.
-
I want to get I want to get to Genesis and I want to get to
-
Hebrews. It'd be a good place to land.
-
Give us somewhere really good to pick up Wednesday night.
-
We got to get more people understanding.
-
They holy. We we be denying holy never
-
compromise holy to win a soul. You ain't doing God no favors by
-
compromising holy God don't need you to smoke weed with somebody
-
to relate. Smoking weed ain't soul winning.
-
Sorry y'all don't put that on the other end of the hook OK?
-
Because then they going to come here and think we all be
-
smoking. No, no, no, no, no, no.
-
Win people towards their holiness.
-
Then God said let us. I'm glad we ain't keeping dead
-
people. Back there I'm like.
-
I just feel real exposed right now.
-
Dang, I'm sorry guys. My mind.
-
I'm just Amen Hallelujah. I'm going to stay focused.
-
Just Heckle body just stacked up.
-
You're like, oh crap. This is a cold tongue.
-
It's like Amen, Jesus. All right, listen up then God
-
said, let us. I need to land this plane.
-
You knowing? Something shifting in you to
-
wrestle with the idea that I'm like, I'm holy and once I grasp
-
that I will look at temptation different.
-
Here's here's the Bible says right here, Y'all want
-
something? Y'all want something?
-
God cannot be tempted because He is.
-
Some of us really are tempted about stuff that our holy nature
-
would be like. Please, you're not getting me
-
that easy because I'm like holy is not tempted by some of the
-
stuff we tempted by holy can hold standards.
-
Holy ready can be single and let God bring.
-
Let us make man in our image. Here it is what is according to
-
me. Talk to me.
-
EJ because they need their class.
-
Need help. Based on According to our Life,
-
Who's talking right now, Father? Son and holy.
-
Spirit. And where are they talking?
-
They're talking in eternity. They not they not at Prado, they
-
not at Milano, they not at Earl's, they not at Cactus Club.
-
They are in eternity because God is Spirit and those that worship
-
Him in these latter days must worship Him in spirit and in
-
truth. You've been trying to worship
-
Him in cute. Our likeness, here it is.
-
You ready? Here it is.
-
He tells you, let's make man according to our likeness, not
-
physical. So.
-
So if I'm going to walk in God's image, it ain't got nothing to
-
do with this. I can represent the excellent
-
Spirit of God by coordinating my gear and making sure my socks
-
match if my pants go up, not down.
-
Making sure, you know what I'm saying, make making sure I can
-
represent clean Jeff. I can represent the spirit of
-
excellence, but how I'm put together don't make me holy, OK?
-
Not physical. But a spiritual personality,
-
holy personality and moral likeness, this is where justice
-
grows up in us, because we know something is in just by nature,
-
because God is what? Just Where do you have it in you
-
where others don't to say that's wrong you can't treat them like
-
that. That's why racism in the church
-
and in the world is demonic. Then God said let us make man
-
here's TBT and woman in our image to be like us to now you
-
know better. He made you to be like him,
-
remember? Not physically.
-
So when you try to act holy it ever it don't work because holy
-
ain't physical, it's nature. So God created man and woman and
-
shaped them with his image inside them.
-
You ready? God made you.
-
Here's where God made you. Here's here's where God made
-
you. I don't know where your daddy
-
and Mama made you, but here's where God made you.
-
And then it took two physical beings to produce a body so that
-
who God made can fit in That we are a spirit, we possess a soul,
-
we live in a body. We are spirit, we possess a
-
soul, we live in a body. Say that with me.
-
We are a spirit, we possess a soul, and we live in a body.
-
OK, we are tripart beings. We won't get to it, but that's
-
what the holy. This is the holy of holies.
-
This is the inner court. This is the outer court
-
representing man's humanity. All of that outer court, inner
-
court, holy of holies is all who you are made-up to be.
-
And This is why God says holy of holies, they shall worship me in
-
spirit and in truth because his spirit was in the what made the
-
holy of holies, holies of holies of holies is his spirit was
-
there. Outer court is where we
-
fellowship, we hung out, we had community, but then there's
-
lesser people going in on the inner courts.
-
Didn't that soul work? That's where sacrifice happens.
-
And then to get you in here to worship him in spirit and in
-
truth, not spectator and criticism, That's hard.
-
So you're a person that's stuck on the outer courts.
-
Here it is in his own beautiful image.
-
He created his masterpiece. I didn't even know I was a
-
masterpiece. I didn't need nothing else to
-
make me. You saw he made a masterpiece,
-
not a half a piece. Am I with?
-
Anybody here today? OK, so when you go out on your
-
first date, sit down knowing you a masterpiece already fulfilled.
-
That person across the table don't owe you nothing.
-
Don't need to give you nothing. I'm already complete.
-
Here it is. Go down to verse 31 ero God saw
-
everything that He had. Made he looked at it.
-
And behold, here's what God said after he made you.
-
It was very good. All of creation was very good.
-
Not because the splendor of the mountains, not because the
-
beautiful rivers of, of, of Vancouver, not because of the
-
bears, and not because of the beautiful valleys in the BC.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no. Some of y'all admire mountains
-
more than you admire yourself. You admire whales more than you
-
admire souls. Oh, BC is beautiful.
-
Oh my God, it's nothing like it. It's a wonder.
-
What about God? What about the one who made BC?
-
You're a wonder. That's what he said.
-
Holy was something to Revere. It's why you settle.
-
Instead of being something that you know should be revered,
-
you'll settle for some potential.
-
Hallelujah. He validated it completely.
-
I want you to see that he validated it completely.
-
So when he blew into our temples, Adam, he blew chapter.
-
One into him, Adam was born with authority, born with dominion,
-
born with proof, with everything Adam needed to even name all the
-
animals in the earth was in them.
-
That's why God said name them animals he wasn't like.
-
Who? Me?
-
I can't do that. I just showed up.
-
God no. No, no, no, no, no.
-
He. Didn't just show up.
-
You know what? You know where Adam was.
-
Adam was in God while God was. Creating the earth.
-
Yeah. Yeah, Adam was born holy.
-
But in chapter 3, Adam and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh
-
God passing through the garden in the breeze of the day, so
-
they hid from God's presence among the trees, concealing
-
themselves from the face of Yahweh God.
-
So for us to announce God is present is for you to remove the
-
veil from your soul so you can enter in and stop hiding.
-
That's all we're trying to do, Annabeth.
-
That's all we're. Trying to do, Laura, that's all
-
we're trying to do is help you live in an unveiled state.
-
So when you come to church, it's it should be to see God.
-
And Yahweh, God here it is very crucial.
-
He called Adam's name, He called Mark's name, he called Danny's
-
name, He called, he called, he called, he called Andrew's name,
-
he called Day's name. He called you this name and he's
-
calling all of your. Names in this hour, he says.
-
Where are you? Where are you?
-
Like where are you? That's the real, where are you?
-
God is spirit, so he's not talking about where your body
-
is. Where are you?
-
Where are you? And if he can you, you can't.
-
You can't. It'll take a real honest person
-
to say, you know what? I don't know where I'm at.
-
If you can't start there, you won't find you.
-
That's the big question right here.
-
Where are you? It's OK to say God I.
-
Don't even know, Adam answered. I heard your powerful presence
-
moving in the garden. I was afraid because I was
-
naked, so I hid. And here's God's question.
-
Who told you that? I want you to see this?
-
Who told you that I want you to see this?
-
Who told you that? Here's God's question.
-
Did you eat the fruit of the tree?
-
In other words, you hid and you think you're naked because of
-
the knowledge of sin. The tree.
-
Wasn't bad, it housed knowledge that was bad and this is what
-
the enemy wants you to do is taste and see that the whatever
-
is good. So you think but it started with
-
you thinking God was trying to keep something from you, not
-
realizing God actually made you for him.
-
And when you find contentment in him then.
-
He will release you to who he has prepared for you.
-
Where do you think some of these Kingdom cultures get arranged
-
merits? From, from the Father.
-
Here it is. Adam.
-
I got somebody for you. So what you do is you go do
-
God's work and you pick based on where you at in life.
-
You don't pick based on comfort and satisfaction in Jesus.
-
And then he got, he got it. He got it for you.
-
And that works with anything in life.
-
You don't do the work. Some of us to let our souls
-
heal. The question is.
-
Where are you? Do you know where you are?
-
Do you know who you are? Whose you is?
-
And here it is. If you don't want to answer
-
that, does your choices reflect you know who you are?
-
Does your insecurities look like you know you guys?
-
Are you content in the Creator's arms?
-
Are you OK with His plan for you?
-
Or are you even seeking His plan for you?
-
Or are there other things that bring you more joy and peace
-
than His presence? Let me tell you, if there's
-
other things that bring more joy and peace than His presence,
-
those things are what you worship.
-
So let me tell you, you have hidden yourself from God's
-
presence because you think these other things other than what
-
He's blessed you with, other than the structure He has
-
created for you and the design He has created for you to live
-
by it will not work. So how many of you are here
-
living with a sin conscious, a Adam and a Eve conscious versus
-
the mind of Christ? You would not blatantly say I'm
-
hiding from God. I can tell you how you're hiding
-
from God because the way he created it for you does not
-
suffice for you. You want to climb and eat from
-
this one tree when he says don't touch it.
-
Remember in the beginning what I told you?
-
He said build me a sanctuary exactly how I tell you to build
-
it. You are his, the Bible says.
-
Are you satisfied with living the way He's called you to live?
-
How's he called you to live holy?
-
Some of you think holy is boring.
-
Let me tell you, I do not have a bored life at all.
-
Walking with God is not boring. Abstaining from keeping from
-
having a clean conscience, that is not boring.
-
Having my wife trust me, having, having, having a great
-
relationship, my kid, that that's, that's that.
-
That's not boring. Getting up here and seeing the
-
fruit of the word of God in your lives, that's not boring.
-
Waiting on a church over here to be.
-
That's not what man it is. God got.
-
God got enough by faith leaving Oakland, CA.
-
That's not boring at all, but the devil has lied to some of
-
you. And you have pursued what you
-
think God is trying to keep from you.
-
And I'm here to tell you that what God has for you is way
-
better than what you chose for yourself.
-
I'll close here at Hebrews 10. For He has dedicated a new life
-
giving way. I just, I just want to bless
-
like like 6 people. I just want.
-
To bless like 6 people I hope. You can keep in your mind where
-
we started in Exodus, this, this temple that he wanted for
-
himself so he can live among them.
-
Here it is. He dedicated a new way.
-
So we started with the old way. Now we out with the old and with
-
the new. Here it is a new life giving
-
way. So the way that He is about to
-
present to us gives life, life giving way for us.
-
Here it is to approach. Him.
-
For. Just as the veil was torn in
-
two, Jesus body was torn open to give us free and fresh access to
-
him. Thank you Jesus, remember the
-
perfect, the holy. So while God is waiting for you,
-
he's provided a way to have his child back.
-
But what he wants to right? God has his children back.
-
I want y'all to see this. God has his children back, but
-
his children don't experience their father back.
-
So God has his children back through Jesus Christ.
-
So God knows even if you got to come into heaven limping, he
-
going to get you back way by way of the blood.
-
But while you live in, you don't even experience your Father.
-
Just as the veil was torn, and since we now have a magnificent
-
high priest to welcome us into his God's house, man, we come
-
closer to God. We don't run like Adam.
-
You see, this sin caused Adam to hide from God.
-
The blood. Could.
-
Cause us to draw. Closer to God, come closer and
-
approach him with an open heart, fully convinced that nothing
-
will keep us at a distance from it.
-
You see that the work Jesus did? For our hearts have been
-
sprinkled. You got to get this with blood
-
to remove impurity and we have been freed from an accusing
-
conscience. There's another translation says
-
we are free from a sin conscience.
-
So this impacts your prayer life.
-
Some of you don't have an effective prayer life.
-
It is hard to pray an hour when you feel unworthy to pray with a
-
sin conscience. You don't even believe God is or
-
will. This is the power of the blood.
-
He has seared our conscience. So I've been freed from an
-
accusing conscience. I'm free from condemnation.
-
I'm free from shame. Here it is.
-
This is not a license to sin. It is an empowerment to not.
-
When you get the freedom you have in Jesus, it will empower
-
you. When you're in a relationship
-
with Jesus, it will empower you. There there's some things I
-
don't do no more because I don't want it to come between me and
-
Jesus. I love Jesus and I don't want to
-
cuss my wife out because I love Jesus.
-
I don't want to cheat on my wife because I love Jesus and I love
-
her. We're living every day JT trying
-
not to sin instead of trying to fall in love with a God who has
-
cleansed us from sin. So now we are clean, not later.
-
You see, I want you to. I want you to experience this.
-
Even when I say it, it stops here.
-
For so many. That's not good news.
-
For some of you. That's cool information.
-
This is how far we are from holy.
-
That a word that tells me in the current condition I am in, in
-
God's eyes, I'm clean. The fact that I can't grasp
-
that. Is a huge part of what blocks me
-
from getting closer to God. So instead of fighting for the
-
revelation and rest of my redemption, I do things like go
-
to church. I do things like joining the
-
leadership team. I do things like works because I
-
can't grasp the reality of my redemption.
-
So I'm constantly living on this roller coaster where I draw
-
close to God and then anything can come in and create a
-
distance and the devil can tell me that my sin calls me and God
-
to go like this when the Bible says nothing can separate us
-
from the love of God. He says now we are clean, now we
-
are unstained. And now we are presentable to
-
God, Laura, I wish, I wish, I wish we all can get this.
-
Therefore, believers, since we have confidence and full freedom
-
to enter the holy place. He made you holy, the place
-
where God dwells by. Means.
-
Of the blood of Jesus. Here it is by this new and
-
living way which He initiated and opened for us through the
-
veil, as in the holy of holies, that is, through his flesh.
-
And since we have a great and wonderful.
-
Priest over the House of God, Let us approach God with a true
-
and sincere heart in unqualified.
-
Assurance of faith, he says. Be crazy enough to believe you
-
qualified. You're right, You you, you don't
-
qualify. But the work of Jesus and some
-
of y'all walking around looking for somebody to save you, having
-
had your heart sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our
-
bodies washed. With pure water.
-
You know what I enjoy? I enjoy a clean conscience it.
-
Started off by faith. Clean.
-
Conscience. But as I renewed my mind,
-
renewing your mind also washes your mind.
-
Renewing your mind isn't just something where you think
-
different. Renewing your mind actually
-
sears your old thinking. Like, like, I don't have access
-
to how I used to think. Like I'm a brand new man, right?
-
So renewing my mind is not just to collect more new information.
-
Now I have a broader range of coping, and if you got a broader
-
range of coping, you also have a broader range of manipulation.
-
He actually has seared my old ways to even if thoughts of the
-
old man come back, I don't have the power, the access to act
-
like that. For me to actually pick up a
-
bottle right now and drink some alcohol knowing I'm going to
-
throw up first of all, like what I have to shut off to turn up?
-
What you got to shut off to have sex outside of America?
-
What you got to shut off to continuously do it outside of
-
God's way. Do you know what you got to shut
-
off for a moment? You got to be careful what you
-
shut off because it can be very hard turning it back on.
-
I call every child of God to the high life.
-
The highest level of thinking is in the mind of a sin conscience.
-
Son of God, you don't got to keep saying sorry, just change.
-
It's right where you are. I want you to ask yourself and
-
let the Holy Spirit guide you simple question, where are you?
-
Where are you go within and where are you?
-
So it's OK to say within, man, I'm wandering, I'm, I'm kind of
-
lost actually. Like I get it, but I'm here it
-
is. I'm having fun doing what I'm
-
doing. But if those things were taken
-
away from me right now, I'd be Tora.
-
If my boyfriend was taken away, if my girlfriend was taken away,
-
if my cell phone was taken away, if I had to move away from
-
Vancouver, if I didn't have his here it is if I didn't have his
-
church home, right? Even when you leave his church
-
home, if COVID happened again, you still should be able to keep
-
yourself together. But you've made the church
-
building in idle and made community and idle, not knowing
-
that that veil has been torn so you can have worship at the
-
house. Real good worship.
-
You got to know God outside of your community.
-
You got to know God outside your spouse.
-
You got to know God outside your children.
-
You got to know God in the valley, not just on the mountain
-
side. You got to know God when it's
-
raining. You got to know God when it's
-
dark. You got to know God outside of
-
the person next to you. Who are you without their
-
comfort, Man? I'm I'm I, I tell y'all, some of
-
y'all don't know and I'm going to keep telling because there's
-
new people in here. Man, I miss my family.
-
Deborah walks in some of this Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean
-
anything, but whatever. Deborah walks in some of this
-
right, like my wife is weird, JT not having my family at home and
-
being in bed by myself. It's weird, but but because God
-
has me, the joy of the Lord is my strength because I know my
-
Father is happy. He has more time with me now.
-
So, So in this marriage, our marriage is becoming stronger
-
because we know even without each other by our sides, we
-
actually have a very good marriage.
-
Some of y'all been riding with me when I'm Facetiming with my
-
wife and we just be cracking jokes.
-
Sometimes we just stare at each other.
-
It don't matter if she got makeup on, it don't matter.
-
It don't matter who are you without all of the stuff, Pull
-
your kids away. Who are you when you don't got
-
to take your kids to school? What's what's your purpose?
-
If your man or your woman passed away right now?
-
What? Who are you?
-
If your house burned down, who are you?
-
And way too many believers lost their mind during COVID, as you
-
found out. You didn't know.
-
Presents you only knew building take 2 minutes.
-
Just whisper not only ask yourself where are you, ask God,
-
where am I? How did I get here?
-
I want to return and today every last one of you can within
-
immediately return within your heart.
-
Your body belongs to him. He wants your mind.
-
He wants all of you. Oh, Vancouver will know Jesus.
-
They going to hear about Jesus not by coming to church merely,
-
but they going to look at some living letters out there.
-
They're going to see some overcomers.
-
You're going to walk back into some places that they knew you
-
one way and they're about to see you in a different way.
-
The world is ready to see the healed you, Danny the your
-
family is ready to see the strong you.
-
All right, I'm talking to you, uncle.
-
You're like like God's about God is ready to represent you in a
-
fresh way. Won't you ever put a car in the
-
shop and then get it out like for paint job or like like God's
-
ready for you to come out this garage and represent you in a
-
fresh, powerful way? Come on, lift your hands right
-
where you are, like want better for yourself.
-
You. It's nothing you can really do
-
about certain situations you're in, but you can change your
-
posture, you can change your heart.
-
You can make different decisions, or you can stop
-
making do doing certain things. You can starve certain habits.
-
It's not too late. You are holy, man.
-
You are holy. He made you holy.
-
You came from. Holy God didn't make something
-
out of nothing, He made something out of holy.
-
Man, you are holy. Take 60 seconds and just repeat
-
that in your spirit. I'm holy.
-
I'm I'm holy. I've been created to be set
-
apart. My life should be something to
-
Revere. When people see your discipline,
-
it's it brings all. People see your joy, some storms
-
that you bring all, and that all points to God.
-
Because He is the One, the Holy One in you, holding you up.
-
Come on, you going into the summer different?
-
No, we're not waiting till the end of the year.
-
I'm talking about by the time spring is over, you will be
-
represented. Fresh and new, some of you in
-
here. You're going to get your joy
-
back, your dance back, your charisma back, your your smile
-
back, your strength back, your vision back, your dreams back.
-
Just 30 more seconds. Come on, say I am holy because
-
he is holy. Come on, I am holy because he
-
called me holy. Look at your neighbors.
-
Say you are holy. That's it, That's all.
-
Come on, if you know you can do better, if you know you can be
-
better, and if you know you will be better, just give God a good
-
old round of applause and a shout of praise.
-
Wow, real quick. Just have a seat.
-
Elder John, come on up here. Elder John, just want to share
-
something with you real quick. Last week we brought in our goal
-
was 250 grand to finish next door so we can move in by June,
-
latest July. And it's been a journey.
-
For those that don't know, we've been at this for 3 1/2 years and
-
it's time for us to go in. But we need some people with
-
finishing faith. Last week, we brought in
-
$13,000, right?
-
I, I guess, I guess if, if you opened your bank account, you
-
saw $13,000, you'd probably react a little bit different.
-
But, but, but for God's house. God, God's house to build God's
-
house. Elder John, come on up.
-
Because I was about to do your job.
-
My bad. Amen.
-
I just want to share a little bit and put some understanding
-
of what we're talking about. First of all, I want to talk
-
about the need. I'm here to encourage us and
-
they compel us and our remnant project.
-
Now understand what compel is doesn't mean compel to give.
-
Course it does, but it means more so to compel to stay in
-
faith about what you've already given compel to stay in faith
-
that God is still moving OK, as well as compel in giving.
-
So I want to break this down in three areas.
-
One's called the need. Everyone say the need go to Acts
-
19 nine very quickly they're going to put that up.
-
A lot of times people say, well, what you need that what you need
-
a place like that for why you why you even need a spot.
-
Paul had been preaching in the synagogue about the holy, about
-
what God had done and redeemed and the people there said we
-
tired to hear that message and they ran them out.
-
So he took him and his folks to this place here.
-
Acts 99. But when some became more and
-
more stubborn and hard and unbelieving, discrediting and
-
reviling and Speaking of the evil way of the Lord before the
-
congregation, he separated himself from them, taking the
-
disciples with him, and went on holding daily discussions.
-
Say daily discussions. Sounds like February, doesn't
-
it? Daily discussions in the lecture
-
room of Tyranus from about 10:00 till 3, when folk don't want to
-
hear your message of holy. You need a place where you can
-
go, and if need be, daily to continue to declare the message
-
that's going to change people's lives.
-
He had to go to the Hall of Tyrannus.
-
God has said, I'm trying to build a house here where you can
-
be in that space and declare this message and don't have to
-
worry about people saying what you should say, what you
-
shouldn't say. And you can do it daily.
-
You can do it as fully and completely as you want to.
-
Everyone says the need. There's a need #2 the
-
opportunity. The Bible says this, that if God
-
can't trust you with unrighteous mammon, how is he going to trust
-
you with your riches? Money is a money is anointing
-
test. Do you think more of the money
-
or more of what God says? Passage preached today holy and
-
trying to add something to it, something outside of holy Mammon
-
is that thing that says, hey, this is going to make me more so
-
I'll need to hold on to this more than God.
-
Opportunities to give and so are opportunities to tell God and
-
tell mammon the stuff in your life, God, you're 1st and stuff
-
you won't have to get behind that because there's nothing you
-
can do for me. Stuff that God really hasn't
-
already done. OK, so understand it's an
-
opportunity for God to release greater anointing in your life
-
by you demonstrating greater trust and what He's done in our
-
lives. I believe at the end of the
-
conclusion of us going to that house, one of the reasons you're
-
going to see a great outpouring of God's glory in the ways and
-
likes we've never seen before is because God's going to be
-
answering that, that that Scripture that says this.
-
You've been faithful in the unrighteous things.
-
Now I can trust you with the true riches, which is people's
-
lives, the glory of God, the power of God, the anointing of
-
God, the healing of God. I can trust you with the true
-
stuff that you saw yourself to be strong.
-
That's the opportunity God has given us.
-
OK, That's just about getting the opportunity.
-
And lastly, I want to say this, I'm not lastly, yeah, I'll say
-
this. You have a unique opportunity to
-
get a unique harvest, unique harvest.
-
Everyone's a unique harvest. You'll never have this
-
opportunity again. What's the opportunity to sow
-
into the foundation building of this worship center?
-
What is the unique harvest of sowing?
-
One, it shows God I know what resources are for therefore
-
building Kingdom above all else. Number 2.
-
When you build into the foundation, everything built on
-
top stands on what you did. The Bible says in the Book of
-
Revelation that heaven is built on the foundation in which the
-
names of the apostles of the Lamb are written.
-
This is an opportunity to sow into a place and a time that's a
-
foundational period. And I'm telling you, you'll get
-
unique harvest. How can I explain it in a way
-
that makes sense to you financially?
-
Everyone say I want to know if I put $1000 in Apple stock in 1980
-
and just left it because it's part of the foundation, that'll
-
be worth about $7 billion today. You know why?
-
Because that's the harvest of sewing in the foundation.
-
To get that same harvest now, you'd have to sow 7 billion.
-
Now God has given you an opportunity to sow into the
-
foundation to build a harvest, not just for you, but for the
-
five generations and 10 generations of your bloodline,
-
for the 5-10 generations of the people coming to this space.
-
And. And I don't, and I don't know
-
about you, but I've heard of stories like this where some
-
kids parents died and they go into an office and they say your
-
daddy left you something. What does he leave?
-
He just lived modestly. I don't understand.
-
He left you about $7,000,000. I ain't never seen none of that
-
money. How do you do that?
-
Oh, about 40 years ago, he sold into the foundation of a
-
profitable company, and today you reap the harvest of him
-
sowing into that foundation. Even if you didn't even know he
-
did it. You're sowing into this
-
opportunity. I'm telling you, we'll reap a
-
harvest for generations of people, families, believers.
-
They're going to walk into it not even knowing what you did,
-
but it's going to be because of what you did that they're going
-
to be able to receive the abundance of what they have.
-
Amen. So that's the need, the
-
opportunity and the unique harvest you have an opportunity
-
to participate in. God is saying to us he wants to
-
partner with our lives, our hearts, our souls, but also
-
wants to partner with our pockets.
-
So I encourage you to give generously.
-
There'll be some ways you can give there.
-
We've been standing for 250,000 in two weeks, we got 13 in the
-
bank, which means God's going to be doing much more in this week
-
to come, Amen. Not just 10 toes in, I said 10
-
toes over, right? Amen.
-
I just believe God's going to do that.
-
It's a testimony of holy and what God is doing in Jesus name,
-
Amen. Talk to the ladies real quick.
-
In theory, 10 toes over sounds really good in the offering
-
compel. But in the summer, don't don't
-
do 10 toes over on the sandals. If if they too small, just just
-
don't buy them. OK, because you come around me
-
with your toes over the sandals. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm a pray for
-
you. Hallelujah.
-
I'm going to say something, one toe hanging over the hey, man,
-
hey, man, really quickly next, tell somebody it's nothing like
-
the first. Hey, we, we really do have an
-
opportunity because this building so much is going to
-
happen from this building being open.
-
So many opportunities are going to happen from this building
-
being open. And I believe 250 bucks is in
-
this church. I really believe, Elder John,
-
that God is challenging the house, the residents of this
-
house, to handle. It and then.
-
After we handle it, that's going to draw kings from all over the
-
world to partner with us. It's our first work to prove
-
that we really about it. We know in house we bought it
-
because of souls, because of the fruit.
-
But when it comes to the kings in the marketplace, what do we
-
have to show that we really about it?
-
When you walk out these doors, I want you to go out and look up
-
and I want you to see on the other side, there's one more
-
being built that's going as high.
-
I want you to get in your mind how many people are about to
-
move right across the street. I want you to visualize how cool
-
is going to be when we do block parties or concerts, how many
-
people who will just sit on their balcony.
-
We got that kind of sound. Just think about the Christmas
-
production people can't get in the house.
-
Just think about the sign that we're going to put on top of the
-
building that people that are that high up are going to be
-
able to still see every morning when they sitting on a balcony.
-
Love lives here. Just think of when we're
-
worshipping those that sound like we're on the corner and
-
we're in the middle of one of the greatest developments
-
between here and over in Surrey Central.
-
You see what they're doing over there, like this whole little
-
area and our church is like right here, like it's on the
-
corner. So when you're giving, I want
-
you to go out and I want you to go look and see where your
-
finances are going to go. And because it's Surrey and it's
-
Vancouver, people from all over the world are moving there.
-
And then that's going to take us to when our, when the house
-
flood is going to take us to another level of finances and
-
staff and another level. It's not just so we can deliver
-
a message. It's going to pay for that.
-
Once we get over there. This is going to be our youth
-
center. It's going to go over there.
-
And that's going to be our multimedia center.
-
We're already over there. You'll be surprised at what kind
-
of music that's coming out over there.
-
But that entire thing will be our multimedia center.
-
God has his saw that we will be a part of cleaning up.
-
One of the. Worst reputations in British
-
Columbia this community will not be as healthy a community
-
without a church like ours in the middle of it.
-
So as you're giving, I want you to know that they're they've ran
-
pretty much all the plumbing. They are running most, most of
-
the electrical has been ran. They still are waiting for the
-
lighting company to come up and they're almost finished with the
-
design. And then they're going to place
-
lights and then they can run electrical to their bathrooms
-
are framed like everything is framed.
-
We got a about a month left for them to finish the electrical,
-
finish lighting, finish an inspection.
-
And then once inspection happened, it's like that walls
-
are going up, doors are going in and before you know it, we're
-
having church in there. But guess what?
-
They not doing that for free. You ready?
-
And guess what it ain't on my family to do it all.
-
This ain't a pastor mission. This those that say this is your
-
church home and if you have received anything from this
-
church that has here it is forget this.
-
Oh man I need that car. I need that has this have you
-
benefited? Is your soul wealthier from
-
being here, right? It's worth it.
-
We're good ground. And if you look at these kiddos,
-
Carolyn, JT right, all all, all these Natalia, all these kids,
-
that's our future. So let them not become
-
teenagers. And we still in the garage.
-
All right, next Saturday is the beginning of our weekend
-
celebration for our anniversary and we are going to start off
-
Hallelujah. Next Saturday we are going to
-
have one of the dopest listening parties that you've ever been a
-
part of and it's for my album. We pushed out the worship.
-
We pushed out two or three albums for the worship team last
-
year. 22 now we are going to push out Pastor TS out.

-

-

-

-

-
dopest MCS and songwriters in Canada. 4th Yeah.

-
DJ opportunity. At first he thought I wanted him

a really good time and you're going to be proud of the work.
-
That's your pastor and some of the people behind the scenes

Put your hand on your neighbor's shoulder and just say, we family

Hallelujah. Take 30 seconds and pray for
-
your neighbor. Come on, look at your neighbor.
-
Say pray for me. 10 seconds. 10 seconds.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Listen up.
-
When we do these prayer moments, it's not a time to flirt.
-
I just, I just saw somebody. I just saw a girl.
-
We got to do prayer. She was like, you can pray for
-
me for the rest of my days. Y'all have a wonderful day God
-
bless you. Till next time get your love
-
fixed man. God is coming for his.
-
Children, those that want to be home welcome home.
-
I will tell you that home and we're going to get into this
-
next experience but home is not this building.
-
This is home. This is why you're going to be
-
set free. This is why Pharmakeia will not
-
be able to hold you as you get rooted in the word is because.
-
He paid for this. Body, his body does not belong
-
to drugs. It does not belong to anything
-
toxic or perverted. He's coming for his home.
-
He's coming for his children. He's coming for his bride.
-
So father, I thank you for the finished work of the blood of
-
Jesus. We thank you for confirming your
-
work with miracles, signs, and wonders.
-
Lord, we walk away in full confidence that before we even
-
came to this moment, You knew exactly what we needed.
-
So Lord, I thank you that we have approached our prayer
-
closet with a yes and Amen. Your promise still stands.
-
Great is your faithfulness. Hallelujah.
-
Amen. Well, you got to get rooted.
-
Stay rooted. You got to come to a house that
-
is going to continue to feed you the word.
-
We start our Wednesday nights, back up this Wednesday.
-
Make a make a decision. Come on, make a decision.
-
Make a decision to not be a Sunday Christian.
-
What are we coming here Wednesday for?
-
To make disciples. You want to be equipped, you
-
want to be trained and you want to do it alongside other people
-
who are fighting for their lives and their freedom.
-
Come Wednesday night, this Wednesday night, for those that
-
never been, it's going to be a different format.
-
We will have worship, but we will have some little breakout
-
sections because we want what we're teaching to be ingrained.
-
It's going to be fun. It's going to be good.
-
And hopefully through your faithfulness and continual
-
attendance, you will get connected to a group and and be
-
disciple to become a part of this dynasty family, right?
-
I know the Lakers have a dynasty.
-
They working on getting it back. I know Boston, you know what I
-
mean. But what I do know is the
-
Kingdom of God is is and was the 1st and will be the last dynasty
-
standing. Yeah.
-
And so one thing I want you to mark in your calendar is next
-
Saturday, I need you to help us pack this place out from the
-
front to the back is going to be fun.
-
We're going to have some food. We're going to have some fun and
-
you're going to get it. We don't, man.
-
It's going to be so cool how we going to set up this stage.
-
But we are going to have a listening party and you're going
-
to get a chance to listen to like 30 all of my new songs and
-
you're going to help me select what my album's going to look
-
like. We're going to have some live
-
performances by a few of our own in the house and we'll have a
-
DJ. It's going to be super fun.
-
Saturday night at 7:00 PM. Don't come at 7, come earlier
-
because we don't you, you might end up out there in the tent if
-
you don't come in here. It's going to be some couches
-
and it's going to be fun. So come out and support.
-
Can y'all do that? All right, some of y'all didn't
-
say nothing, but that's OK. I'm a guard.
-
My heart from you. Amen.
-
And then May 9th, there's not a flyer, but I want to get it in
-
your in your soul. A few months back we went to
-
Victoria. Anybody know people in Victoria?
-
Anybody ever heard of Victoria? Amen.
-
OK, do you how many people know Victoria need Jesus?
-
Amen. And so we're going to go back
-
May 9th and we're going to have a worship night out there and
-
encounter night. We have the church, we have
-
everything set up and it's a Friday night.
-
And so mark it on your calendar because if you can come out
-
there and make it and be a part of it, it'd be nice to have Love
-
Quest show up on the island and run some demons off that island.
-
Is that cool? All right, all right, Put your
-
hand on your neighbor's shoulder and then look at them.
-
Say don't touch me. No, I'm just playing, I'm just
-
playing. I'm just playing, I'm just
-
playing, I'm just playing, I'm just playing.
-
Come on, pray for your neighbor. Just 30 seconds.
-
Something simple and straight. What's that weekend called?
-
King Me 10 seconds is that? 5 seconds all right, listen up
-
really quickly. Next weekend is our our
-
anniversary was in February, but we're celebrating it next
-
Sunday. All right, so the entire weekend
-
is is it's it's it's I'll be preaching on King me for our
-
anniversary and I'll bring some revelation to what that is as we
-
leave 7 and go to 8 and David, what is his was the 8th, the 8th
-
brother, right, 8th brother. Something special about this
-
eighth year. And so next weekend apart, the
-
the the album release concert is a part of the anniversary
-
celebration and so or listening party.
-
So we need y'all out for Saturday and Sunday.
-
OK, Amen. I think that's it.
-
No, no, please. 15th. Was it 13 grand?
-
Brett came in last week. We have $237,000 to get in a
-
week. It's in the house.
-
Is it sacrificial? Absolutely.
-
OK. But anything that's going to
-
last is going to cost. We want to be in our building by
-
June, but we cannot do that for free.
-
Hey man, everybody, 100% of the people in this room can give
-
something. So I am looking forward to
-
telling you the testimony next weekend that what we are asking
-
for and what God is needing for this house, we going to bring it
-
in. Amen.
-
Have a wonderful day and tell somebody on the way out you look
-
real good today. Amen.
