Anointed, Disruptive and Prospering (9AM) - 3.2.2025 (Pastor Terrance Richmond)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

some tea, and get ready to receive.

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

Something for sure has shifted in this place.

Love Quest will never be the same.

You will never be the same. Elder John is.

I've heard countless times people seeing angels in this

building. And here's the crazy part.

There has not been one place that Love Quest has went from

New West to Vancouver to Langley to here.

Well, countless people have not come to us and says I see, I see

angels, which means it's not the building, it's the people that

God is favoring and protecting and, and all, all I can say is I

just I don't, I don't to me what I'm about to say to me itself is

a really holy statement. And I think only few may get

this, but I pray when I say it, there's a quickening in your

spirit that you can get what I'm about to tell you.

As I began to approach up here, I just saw the Father, I saw God

take a seat. Now to not leave you with a

picture, what that means when God walks in a room and takes a

seat, it's a place that he says I can rest here, not just visit.

Many people want visitation. But why take visitation when God

says habitation, why he wants to live here?

And many people don't know this. We spent we cut Sundays for a

month. No one who's doing that right?

Giving went down because people equate Sunday to when we give

versus my life is an offering. And if I call a place a church,

it don't matter, right? If you go somewhere, if you

leave your house for a vacation for three months, you still got

to, you still got to maintenance the house, right?

The house didn't take off Sundays.

We actually was here every day, Monday through Friday.

And there was people. Here sacrificing on your behalf

every day and I don't want to get into that because I don't

want to take away because God has a very important message

today. But for the first two months of

this year, what has Love Quest been doing except weekends and

we've been gathering pretty much everyday, praying and worshiping

and for you to think we going to stay the same after saying God,

here we are. We will be a people.

You can snatch us out of any normal rhythm, tradition,

religion doesn't matter what's going on around us.

No matter what people think about us, we too loud.

We too this we too that man calm down.

We are we must be humble. We're in a garage and some tents

that we got to hold up and mop concrete like please, please.

We we're people that's after God.

And I don't know what you go to church for, but if the

intelligence and the intellect and the information you get does

not lead to encounter and transformation, then you in the

wrong place and you after the wrong thing.

And the days of being puffed up with knowledge is not going to

help the world. Who is looking for a bright

light that's very. Clear.

It's looking for people who are willing to lift their voices

because that's what we do at hockey games, at hockey matches,

and that's what we do in arenas. We lift our voice and cheer for

our team. So don't tell me that yelling

and cheering is not a thing that we do.

We cheer and yell for what we want to.

It's really about what has the affections of your heart.

And maybe nobody in here went through anything, but what God

has brought me from it deserves a louder voice than when my

favorite team wins A championship.

Right, Christianity, the Kingdom of God is not golf.

It ain't no, no, no, no. When God's moving, his children

get stirred up, riled up, because he is doing.

Something. And I'm glad to be in the house.

That's a lie. And so for those that don't

know, 7 is completion and our anniversary was the second

weekend of February. Who?

Who shuts down the church? Instead, because anniversary

celebrations bring money and bring people it's a it's an

opportunity to reach families who shuts church down?

Hungry, thirsty, normal ain't doing it for me, right, LeBron?

LeBron James, for those that don't know, just go Google it.

He he doesn't be playing at 41 years old because he kept doing

the same thing. We are creatures made to evolve,

not find comfort. We're created for peace, not

comfort. And you can have peace and be

uncomfortable. I will tell you no.

You guys can go. You guys can all have a seat.

I am. I am telling every single person

in here a holy God is in this place.

The. Jesus, you deserve the praise

worthy. One more time.

Worthy. I wish I can recap everything

that God's been speaking over the last bit, especially over

these last 21 days. I encourage you to go and listen

on YouTube. Catch up in that way.

Come on. Father.

Thank you. Give us ears to hear and eyes to

see. Sometimes you got to just

respect and honor how holy he is and not try to do because when

the holy God is present, nothing else is necessary.

So excuse me if I'm trying to figure out how to navigate my

words and thinking around a God who don't need me to say

nothing. I don't want to call it a series

because he could change it. Next service we're going to have

a conversation possibly for a few weeks around this topic.

Anointed, disruptive and prospering.

It's go time all the people that want to play church this

messaging for you moving forward.

No message for people that want to play church.

There's no message coming for you except repent.

Anointed, disruptive, prospering.

I'll say it this way, I'm anointed, I'm disruptive and I'm

prospering. I was created anointed, I was

created disruptive and I'm created to prosper.

But I think that the, the, the line that is very important that

you need to see is it's, it's an announcement that the holy fire

of God has arrived. This is very important because

it's something to shout about, but it's also something to take

heed because this is not the hour to play with God and this

is what you got to understand. This is not the hour to.

Prostitute your anointing. Don't get it twisted.

It is the anointing that's disruptive.

The anointing on you causes you to be disruptive for the Kingdom

of God. And as you go, as God says, go,

you prosper. And I'm here to tell all God's

children that prospering is not merely monetary.

Quite frankly, monetary prosperity is the cheapest form

of prosperity. Can I help somebody?

Yeah, Yeah. If you really want to be

prosperous, he says, I pray that you prosper even as your soul.

In other words, there is only so much prospering you can do and

experience without a prospering soul.

And this is what the Holy Fire of God comes to do.

Prosper us, starting with our say it.

So I'm making an announcement and I'm going to move on.

The Holy Fire of God has arrived.

Let me tell you, it ain't coming.

Anybody ever get really close to fire?

Did you just like, did you just like ignore it?

You you you you you. What did you do when you got

close to fire? You, you changed your posture.

So when the arrival, when the Bible says the holy fire of God

has arrived, you cannot live the same.

I'm sorry. That's good news for some people

and that's some of y'all could say I'm tired of my old me

anyway, so I'm ready for a upgrade.

Some of y'all like wait a minute, I'm comfortable being

like this. The holy fire of God has

arrived. Anointed, disrupted.

In this hour you are called to walk in your anointing, be

disruptive and prosper. Somebody say I'm anointed, I'm

disruptive, and I'm prospering. The holy fire of God has

arrived. Look to your neighbor.

Don't say nothing else but what I'm going to tell you to say.

Look at your neighbor. Say, did you get it?

There goes some folks with extra words, extra words, right?

Didn't even hear extra words, extra words.

What do we say? Just we're going to try it

again. Look at your neighbor and all

you're going to say is did you get it?

Somebody extra words again. Come on class, back on the line,

back on the line, back on the line.

Look at your neighbors say all you gonna say is did you get it?

Go Hallelujah. That's that's what God say.

Leave them, leave them, leave them.

Hallelujah. Leave them God's like I can be

talking, but they want me to come out with, with smoke and

smoke and all this stuff. And you come to church to hear

from God and he, he, he gives you some simple instructions and

you think it's PT giving instructions, but it's not.

The man couldn't hear the donkey.

The donkey had a word for him. And in this hour, God's not

coming in smoke. He's not coming when you say

give me a sign. He's going to come and he going

to come and he's going to come and he going to say, man of God,

woman of God, tell them, get, get them.

Simply tell them turn left and walk with me.

God's coming and saying, hey, no Sundays.

Invite my children Monday through Friday, See if they

come. But you want God to show up in

your finances. And we belittle God and made it

look like when we get increased, that's God 'cause I got a new

job, that's God 'cause I got a new car, that's God 'cause I got

pregnant, that's God, 'cause I got a husband, that's God.

And we have we have brought God down to a God that's only good,

present and alive when something good happens in our life.

He didn't talk to a donkey and he split the seat.

What can he do? So show me in the Bible where

God did something normal. You talk much, you want to hear

God. You will not hear God if you

belittle him to normal. You want God to talk to you like

your spouse, like your teacher, like like like like like a

Starbucks cashier. No, God is God.

Show me in the Bible where he did something normal.

So I'm anointed, I'm disruptive and I'm prospering, but but

there's something missing that I'm here to take to say today.

I think I got a master key. Please, please, please, please,

please put your hearing on today.

Sometimes you go deep with God and then you like, we can't get

no deeper than this and. Then when you're ready and

mature, he takes you even deeper.

You know, it's levels to hearing it's levels to see there's

anointed, there's prospering, but a plucked out disruptive

because I'm like, we've all been disruptive in ungodly ways.

So don't act like being a disruptor is foreign to you.

Everybody in here to mess some stuff up.

Any anybody on this side ever mess some stuff up?

Like last night, right? Somebody over here last night

messed some stuff up. Somebody today messed some stuff

up, right? Anybody messed some stuff up or

something like OK, disruptive, we're going to take that out,

but knowing it prospering, that looks good, that looks that

looks real good and then I'm like, I'm like, he's like.

Now, Mike, I wish I could take you through how I got this

message. This message did not start off

at all. Nowhere where it's about to go.

I was coming and ready to tell y'all it is time we anointed.

We are disruptive and we prosper and I'm ready.

God didn't beat us up for a few months.

And I'm like, he ready to patch us up.

And he like, yeah, OK, OK. And then and then.

Now mind you, the title started off this way.

So you see me, He's starting to deconstruct my message.

That's how we got here and the word that we about to see next.

That's what this whole thing is about.

He's like, yeah, you anointed, OK, you disrupted, OK, you

prospering OK. But this what y'all don't know

and this is how do y'all don't how y'all know don't know this

because it ain't how y'all act. Watch this.

Follow me. He says holy you are.

See how you hear that word? You're like, yeah, holy, holy

smokes, right? Holy don't even have no power no

more. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Can y'all get wrecked with me today?

Look, holy you are and y'all probably thought that you are

was talking about God. I want you to see something.

We have forgot that we're holy and we've put holy on him.

I want you to understand the fact that you don't see yourself

holy. It is the fruit of sin.

Sin separated us from the Holy One, but He made us holy.

Let me, let me stick. With my script right here.

OK, OK. You don't know who you are.

You ain't a coach, you ain't a husband, you ain't a son, you

ain't a daughter. You're not all these things.

You ain't rich, you ain't fine, You ain't black, you ain't

white, you ain't all of it. All of these things are who you

think you are. But you probably never described

yourself as this. And and and the enemy has done a

great job through this is what religion tears down because

people say you think you holier than thou.

So when we see this word, we don't want nothing to do with

it. Well, let me tell you how would

that work? If you don't want to do nothing,

don't want nothing to do with human.

All right, let me let me stick with my slides.

Could you? We are a people moving from

potential to power. Everybody in here got power in

them, but most of you are only look living with potential

right? Some people got married all

potential. I don't know who it is for.

You can't fix him or her awesome because if God couldn't fix

them. What you think Hallelujah.

OK, but that's not what today is about Somebody say holy we are

people moving from potential to power.

OK, Isaiah 10, in that day the Lord will remove the heavy

burden from your shoulders and break off the yoke of bondage

from your necks. Here it is because of the heavy

anointing upon you, Not because you smart, not because you went

to seminary, not because you go to a church that teach you about

Jesus, not because you got this or that, not because you smart

not be. It's because of the anointing

upon your life. We are going to see change in

the earth. Seminary don't mean anointing.

Theologically sound doesn't mean anointing.

Big church don't mean anointing. Read your Bible 30 times.

Front to back don't mean anointing.

Three piece suit don't mean anointing, Vocal range don't

mean anointing. And God says I'm narrowing it

down to this. If you want to see any change

around you in the last days, anointing.

In that day, I'm here to tell you that day is this day that's

today, the heavy, and I'm not expecting normal anointing.

What I mean by that just old, old anointing like like what I

was. I'm not expecting 2020 fo

anointing on me. OK, I'm not expecting 2020 fo

bars lyrics, thinking, speaking perspective.

No, no, no, 2024 is over. Stepping in new things, new

anointing, new measures of grace, new measures of favor,

new measures of strength and hope, endurance, capacity.

No, no, no. Heavy anointing.

Here it is. We can't keep living in

ignorance. There are a lot of super smart

people that are super ignorant. You know, wait a minute.

I thought smart just it it, it, it disqualified ignorance.

No, you just smart in what you know, you smart in what you went

to school for, and you smart in what you interested in.

Here it is. Are you as smart in what God's

doing and what God's wanting from you?

Are you intelligent? Spiritually intelligent?

We can't keep living in ignorance, OK?

Sin is a separator, and separation births ignorance.

If I stay out of school, there's a level of ignorance that's that

school can get rid of in my life.

But if I stay away from school, there's some things I'm going to

be ignorant about. If I isolate and don't have

friends and don't like hanging out with people, don't like

talking to people, guess what? There's some things I'm going to

be ignorant about. The more I the more I'm

separated, not just from God, but even God's people, the more

ignorant I am. And the more I'm separated from

God, the more ignorant I am of Him.

You ready? And the more ignorant I am of

Him, the more ignorant I am of me.

You want to know why there's an identity crisis in the world?

Because God's children don't know Him, therefore they don't

know them. I just told them back, there is

your life, living a life out of it is finished or it will fix

it. What I mean, if you lived out of

a finished work instead of and in addition to life, think about

everything you're after right now.

Think about it. You think that everything and be

honest with me and don't play me.

You think everything you're after right now is going to

bring something that you're really made for more money,

peace, a husband or a wife, no more lonely comfort, everything

on your list, you and you, you're like, when I get this,

it's going to do this. So what you're really after is

what's on the other side of your list.

And what you're saying is this is going to bring this, but this

was made to be brought by God, not by this, not by friend,

career, money, sex, porn, spouses, vacations.

This is why we love vacation, because when we go on vacation,

it brings this. We This is why we get married.

This is why people marry 45678910 times because this

started off with this. And then you're like, oh, you

don't provide this no more. So I need to go get this again.

And you see how you working backwards, You're really not

even after a job, you're after what a job can bring.

And that's why you'll get a job. And then you're tired of the job

because it no longer provides this you, you're not really

after an education. Your Mama and your daddy told

you that education going to bring you this.

You, you see what I'm saying? And so This is why if you go for

this thinking it's going to get you this, then when this get

tired, you're going to keep on or this wears out, you're going

to keep chasing this. And guess what?

If you got to get this to do this, this is your God and God's

over here. Like, go ahead, sure you're not

living and it is finished. And that's why Adam and Eve got

us here, because what God provided wasn't enough.

You living off that one tree thinking that if you take a

bite, it's going to bring you what God promised you off the

other trees. And that works with church

homes. That's why we church hop all the

time, because there's a feeling here.

We don't know how to go through the tough times when the feeling

is gone. That's why people start serving

and then all of a sudden when serving don't provide what they

thought it was going to provide, then they don't want to serve no

more, right. It's all we're we're, we're

we're trying. We're not living in it is

finished. We're living it.

It will fix it. And 99% of you in here, God's

not enough promise. I know that for sure.

Here, here's here's a secret. If God was enough, who you are

would be enough. Sin is a separator.

Separation births ignorance. Holy you are.

I'm. I'm speaking it over you,

whether you know it or not. Holy you are, holy we are,

because holy he is. Follow me, please.

Great revival proceeds, great cleansing.

This is how I can walk in here very confidently and say the

holy fire of God has arrived. Love quest started off cleansing

itself and has been cleansing itself up till today and will

live a life of cleansing itself. But intentional cleansing like

start off the year fast and then praying no pride there no idol

there. And then let's let's go into

February as God just so abruptly disrupted our life and say you

know what I know you're coming out the fast but next month

you're not going to even do Sunday service.

Y'all going to gather Monday through Friday and then just

praise God. You got a few people that

actually believe that we're their pastors and don't mind

following the instructions of the Lord and say let's do it a

people that's actually moving with God.

That's not programmed by people who have needs, right?

As long as I can get in 90 minutes, boom, guess what you

like, I can get a church 90 minutes because it's going to

get me this. And so that's my church home

because he got me this. It made me comfortable.

Boom. God forbid God's calling you

somewhere where you going to be uncomfortable because he knows

the PC has for you. It will sustain, it will stay,

it will maintain. I don't.

So that's why it doesn't matter when things change in my life.

But what? What?

What's changing never made me still.

So the world can change, my job can let me go, people can walk

out of my life. But you were never the source of

my strength or my peace. So when you change, it doesn't

mean I got to be broken. Sure, my heart aches, but

nothing's changing. I'm not taking off work because

you broke up with me. Great great revival proceeds

great cleansing Acts 10 so so repent.

What is repenting cleansing? Change your mind, change your

inner self or change your own way of thinking?

Is God talking regret past sins and bad sins?

Isn't like how Hollywood makes evil like some sin?

Is you not going where God told you to go disobedient.

You're not giving when God told you to give.

You're not praying. We got right that separator here

it is. And return to God.

Return to God is your source. Return to God is your only way,

only truth, only life. Return to God, not return to

church because some of y'all the church got you more than God got

you. Hallelujah, seek his purpose for

your life. See this, when God is enough, he

can arrange, he can rearrange your schedule and you're more

concerned about what God is going to say versus your boss

because there are some religions in this world they jobs don't

mess with they sanctified days. So I don't want to disrupt my

job because they they, you know, my boss, get funny and finicky,

and I need that money. So I just can't show up.

Yeah. Your boss ain't going to take

your faith seriously if you don't.

Hallelujah. Let me.

Let me, let me just read. Let me just read.

OK. See.

Seek his purpose for your life so that your sins may be wiped

away. This this to me when I read

this. Cool.

Yes. The blood has already cleansed

us, but even more so here. Repentance is required for you

to be free from a sin conscience.

Repent so you can stop thinking sinful.

Repent so you can stop thinking lower than God sees you.

Repent so you can stop being a slave to your flesh.

Says blot it out, blot it out, blot it out.

Is not like getting some bleach or some and just blotting out

the blood. This spiritual talk here, blot

it out. I'm talking about somebody got

to remind you, you messed up. I'll be real.

It's some stuff I didn't did. I don't know what I did and it

ain't because I was just high. I retain a pretty good memory

after being high, but then but God says I wipe away as far as

the east is running. There's a place you get so far

in God that it's not that you are ignoring sinful nature or

ignoring what you've done in the past, but you can't relate to it

no more. Like I don't even know that guy

completely erased. So that so that so revival.

We made revival cleansing. Yeah.

I don't know how many churches is crying out for revival, but

in service at the same time every week when revivals show

up, actually, God really runs the place.

Times are refreshing. I've never, I've never seen

revival show up to a people and make them cleanse.

I've seen a people set themselves aside and measures of

his glory continue to rise. You hear about revivals.

It was a people praying and fasting and setting their lives.

They were cleansing. They made their mind up and

said, I, I, I'm, I, I'm a people in this generation.

That is going to be the sacrifice for this generation,

this community, this family, my friends, whatever.

And I'm going to set myself aside so I could be the

sacrifice and the flames of God will torch my life.

I want you to see this. I want you to see this.

Repent. Change, change, change, change,

change. Then it says repent, change your

way of thinking, not say sorry in your prayer time.

That's that's not repenting. OK, Seek his purpose for your

life, His purpose, not try to get him to bless your plans,

seek his purpose. Here it is.

You can have plans, but in your plans is his purpose.

So play ball, go to school. But is the why his purpose?

He wants the purpose, not necessarily the plan.

Because believe it or not, it's going to end his way.

That's why you don't want to spend your whole life doing you.

And in the end, he just like, well, come home.

It's going to end his way. Times are refreshing may come

from the times are just why we can't just let y'all run the

church. We need people who care about

presents and whoever want to be. It's just like you go out to

your favorite restaurant. They've created an ambiance.

I don't go to a restaurant just because the steak good.

I go because of the ambiance. I like to be Sir.

I like six forks in front of me and and three glasses.

And I like when people walk up to me and with with some

etiquette and some class. And I like when the waiter or

waitress come and check on they. I don't got to look around and

say I need water. They just right there bomb.

You need some water. I like going these old ghetto

restaurants where the waiters and waitresses on their phones

texted and they looking from the back.

Do they need someone that cool they talking?

No no no no no. I deserve the best stop.

Stop letting people off the hook and how they relate to you.

You ready? How many people you see Jesus

ignored? He's like, you better come at me

with passion, so that repent, change, seek, so that there's

times of refreshing. The Holy Fire has arrived, which

means great refreshing is here for those who want it.

He says times of refreshing may come from the presence of the

Lord, not from raising bonuses, increasing spouses.

Great refreshing, great healing, great restoration is going to

come from His presence. You, you, you, you.

You better realize when God's calling you to a season of you

and Him, no, no, no, see, and you'll stop saying you single.

You realize you're actually in God's perfect will and you ain't

single. You're accompanied by his

presence. You're accompanied by a cloud of

witnesses who have been, who have been dispatched to send you

into a season of restoration and transformation and healing and

brand newness. And you will not.

If you understand that you're in a holy season, you won't let

nobody enter that bubble. You he said, he said restore you

like a like a cool wind on a hot day.

You you ever be in the hot? Just you can't find no cool, no

cool nowhere. And then you just finally rest

and all of a sudden you, that wind hits you and you're like,

whoa, whoa. And you like, and it just come

and go and then you back out again.

Let's go. The holy fire God has arrived.

Have I said that yet? That's good.

But so I need you to get it. We can't keep living how we want

to. I'm I'm here that you can listen

and you can be like, that's PT, you know, OK, I'm just telling

you what. Thus saith the Lord.

We can't keep living the same. And and and there's a difference

between we can't keep living the same and we can't keep living

how we want to. Living the same is no change how

we want to. You can upgrade and change, but

it's how you want to. And that's a lot of y'all think

your life is different and it's changed, but to God, you still

the same. You've just changed and you've

upgraded and you've got more money and and you you got more

information, but you ain't changed according to what God's

change is. Oh, I go to church more.

That's change. But you still do it and how you

want to do it. I'm telling you, you can't stay

the same and you can't keep doing what you want to.

Are you ready? We can't keep carrying.

I'm trying to get a little further along for y'all.

That's that's that's just here for 9:00 AM because this going

this going to help your week. We can't carry the oil if we

don't know the vessel is holy. I need y'all to see this the new

wine skin we've been talking about.

I'm here to tell you what God said.

This new wine skin is holy. The new wine skin that God has

brought in this season is to carry the oil is not to do what

you want to do. The new wine skin is holy.

We can't carry the oil if we don't know the vessel is holy.

Who's the vessel? He made that very clear.

Who's the vessel? Who's the house?

And he says you minds, what does you minds mean?

Right? If you rent at any given time,

the landlord can come through and take a little peeky peek.

You can Hello. You didn't call me.

He gave me like your name ain't on the This is my house,

respectfully. Hey, straight up illustration.

That's the Lord, help me out, Lord.

That's how the dog be. That's how the dog be y'all,

y'all think we playing watch when we get we're going to have

a dog ministry. We've been talking about that

for a long time. The dog's going to come in and

worship and then at 10:00 AM and you can take you got a dog from

2:00 to 9:00. The 9 probably dead though, huh?

That 9 is still good. OK, All right.

I'm not bad. OK, Let me stop playing because

this is a holy moment. You hear what you hear.

You hear what I just said. See, See.

See. You thought holy was covering

your head. You thought holy was wearing a

dress all the way down there. Hey, listen to me.

It's hot. It's hot.

You don't got to wear that all that.

You don't got to wear all that. It's hot.

OK, We all humans so we all hot. No, no, no.

Holy ain't I don't listen to this kind of music When you live

holy, it will change you. It changed it taste buds, right?

It's it's not that I don't like that song ain't dope.

It's just it don't sit right with me.

Hey, hey, be careful with what sit right with you.

We we can't we can't carry the oil if we don't know the vessel

is what holy the new wineskin It's holy, so can't none but

holy go in it. Look, the issue is, the issue is

we don't know us because we don't know him.

Can I help some people this morning, please?

We don't know us because we don't know him.

Please follow me. The issue is we don't know us

because we don't know him. Just go back to the garden.

Even first Corinthians say we like unveil faces.

We're we're we're looking in his glory and we're looking at his

word and he reflects back to us who we are, we we don't know.

And this is the trick of Instagram and social media is to

keep us in this because whatever we behold it, behold in US.

OK, OK, This is why I don't care who you are.

If you look at it long enough, you going to get feelings for

it, right? James, tell us that no, you

didn't just pull your pants down and have sex.

You've been looking at it. You've been thinking about it.

This just manifestation of what's in here ain't no oops

that started in your meditation. This is why you got to be

careful of what you let yourself keep beholding because whatever

you behold can burst feelings and now all of a sudden you own

those feelings and think they really real.

They as real as you behold it. Here's what the Bible says.

The heart is more deceitful than any other thing.

Now let me help you Jeremiah. Go on ahead and look at it in

your own time. The other issue is we don't know

Him because we don't know us. It ain't just we don't know us

because we don't know him. But when you really know you,

you really know him because you got the version of you from him.

So if you think God has abandoned you, automatically you

see yourself as an orphan. See, if you see God as a father,

although you've been abandoned by earthly parents, you cannot

see yourself as an orphan. You see yourself as adopted.

Knowing you has power. I'm sorry.

Knowing you. Oops.

Yeah. Yeah.

There we go. Knowing you have power isn't.

Knowing you have power is different than accessing that

power. A lot of people know you are

every son. Oh, I got the power of the Lord.

Greater is he and me that he is in the world.

The same spirit that raised these from the dead lives in me.

But when you get out there throughout the week, you'll

where the Saint spirit raised these from the dead.

Why are you so weak? Why are you so double minded?

Why are you so fearful? Why are you so insecurity?

Why are you so shook? Why are you so lonely?

Why do you need XY and Z so much?

You're the Saint spirit, right? D from D when they don't accept

your application. Why are you shook?

Thanks. Fear.

Greater is he, Greater is he? Greater is he?

Greater is he? But when that person walk away,

you saying greater is he, greater is she?

Come back, please. Because greater.

Greater is this job. Please.

I need another job. Hurry.

I need another job. I need another job Because

greater is it. Oh, I need that girl.

I need those compliments. I need those likes.

So because greater is it, Greater is he, greater is she?

You know, you got power, but knowing you got it is different

than accessing it. And I'm here to tell you how you

can't access it aside from holy. His power was made for holy

vessels. Here you go.

Here we go. Here we go.

Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go.

This statement as God gave it to me this morning, I don't know

what happened, but it absolutely broke me in my office.

I don't care if it doesn't matter to you.

It broke me. I said, oh crap, he said.

He said. Son, you've been trying to find

yourself outside of holy. I've been trying to find myself

in you liking me. I've been trying to find myself

at this college. I've been trying to find myself

through sports. I've been trying to find myself

through women. I've been trying to find myself

through fashion. I've been trying to find myself

through music. I've been trying to find myself

through likes and shares. I've been trying to find myself

through my kids. I've been trying to find myself

outside of Holy. Think of who's inviting us into

His presence. Holy.

What'd you say? And everything outside of holy

will let you down. You want to know why the bride

is sick? Because she's been trying to do

holy things without living holy. And I repent it right there.

God, I'm sorry that you really haven't been enough.

Good as God has been to me, I'm speaking for myself.

You do you. My actions show.

He hasn't been enough. Where's the restlessness coming

from? He ain't enough.

Where's the fear coming from? He ain't enough.

Where's the 50% divorce rate coming from?

He ain't enough and God will not let everything else but him

bring complete satisfaction. Parents will fail you, pastors

will fail you. Why?

How you going to walk away from the faith because the pastor

failed because holy wasn't enough And you put all your

faith in the pastor. And instead of having believers

hold the pastor up and his family, they've made it about

them, not realizing that the children of the pastor are

broken. We throw away the sacrifices

before the fall that those pastors made for me to have a

home. Their fall does not discredit

the words. You see how the Word still

stands. Their fall does not discredit

the book they wrote, but because we put our trust in them and

instead of the Holy One, we continue to live a life of

disappointment. So we're in a time full of

restlessness because people don't know who they are.

And the only way you can know who you are is to know who he

is. No other way around.

If he, if you can find here, it is.

If you can find yourself outside of him, He is not the way, the

truth and the life. If you can find your identity

outside of him, then you're saying that him being the only

way, the only truth and the only life is a lie.

I got a few more minutes in them.

Statement says we've been trying to find ourselves outside of

holy and This is why the enemy has helped religion do a great

job at tainting holy. Now.

The mind of the flesh is death. The mind of the flesh is death

the the way and the life of the flesh is death.

I need you to hear it both now and forever.

In other words, you don't got to be dead to be dead.

The mind of the flesh is death both now and forever, because

the mind of the flesh pursues sin ready, whether you act on

the sin or not. The flesh is craving for sin.

The mind of the flesh is doing everything to push you towards

sin. The life of the flesh is never

bringing you closer to God. It's bringing you to separation.

And we learned earlier, separation births ignorance.

Because as long as I can keep you away from God, you won't

know God. And if you don't know God,

you'll never find yourself. This is why we have churches.

Let's get in, let's get out. And what we don't understand, as

convenient it is for the customer, we don't teach them

how to pursue God. And the church is an equipping

institute. If you want to learn about sex,

the church should be talking about sex.

If you want to know how to pursue God, the church should be

practicing pursue God. Nowhere in the world are they in

and go to a concert. Yes man, that headliner,

depending on who it is, don't come out till 4 hours after you

there. They got a bunch of openers.

They back there getting high, sipping on their wine, taking

pictures, being on phone and you suggest what you you right

there. You've been there for 7-8 hours

trying to get a good seat and you rush to the front and then

they don't come out for three hours and then they give you a 2

hour show. Then you come to church on

Sunday late on time to the concert, though.

All right, Let me say, let me say focus.

Let me say, because if I go to that concert, that night out is

going to like bring me this like euphoric like this, this, I'm

going to get a buzz. I'm going to get, I'm going to

get away from my pain. I'm going to have a break,

right, right. God's no longer that break,

God's no longer that breakthrough, God's no longer

the source of our peace. It's all these things.

So we need to make money so we can go out to there and we need

to save money, not realize, hey, this building over here is going

to be a place where people find real peace.

So while you're investing in Starbucks and investing in all

these places out there, you're not investing in the

reconciliation of God's children.

This isn't just a building for us to do Sunday.

And a lot of people think they're giving to a church is

the way they control the church. So.

So wait a minute. You, no, you're not going to do

that with my money. You're going to cut out Sundays.

No, I, I pay my tithes so I can come to church Sunday.

Keep your money. No, I thought you gave tithes to

build God's house. Ain't that what he say?

Bring all the tithe and offering into what the storehouse that

there may be meat in what my house?

What a better investment. What great investment you going

to find on the earth than to build God a house for for him to

do what he's done for you and generations to come.

You want to talk about an investment?

Spiritual well-being that comes here, it is now and forever

because it pursues sin. But the mind of the Spirit here,

it is the mind of the Spirit is what life and what peace.

Oh, you mean I ain't got to spend $10,000 to go there to get

peace. I could just, I could just walk

with the Lord and get peace. Then when I go on vacation, I

got a peace that I ain't going to leave there.

Like blue water is cool, but they don't bring peace.

Not for me. I started in the little fishies

going around this cute stuff, but I'm I'm I'm trying to swim

by myself on me say life and peace that's here.

It is what is life and peace, the spiritual well-being that

comes here. It is the spiritual well-being

that comes from the spiritual well-being that comes from the

spiritual well-being. The prospering of my soul comes

from walking with God, not reading about him only not like,

oh, I go to a conference to find out how to hear from God.

You can't manufacture away. That's what poem readers do.

You want to hear from God, Walk with him.

What? What can we got here?

It is both now and forever. Oh, this life is for me now.

Now is God. Now here it is.

The mind of the flesh with its sinful pursuits is actively

hostile to God. Now let me ask you what you do

when somebody come around you hostile?

Some of y'all people that just talk louder than you get on your

nerves. You ever smell something

hostile? Hallelujah right?

Deodorant calms hostility down. That's a word.

That's a word. He that has ears, let him hear

Hallelujah, word from the Lord. Hallelujah is listen actively

hostile to God. In another translation.

It separates us from God. Our flesh, the thing that's in

you uncontrolled, separate you from God.

Here it is. It does not submit itself to

God's word. It's in it's incapable.

God doesn't want to have anything to do with your

carnality. So you can't come to God with

just you and think He just going to get involved.

Laying you down is your job, not His job.

He laid Him down and Him got back up.

That's why He says if we're going to walk in His

resurrection power, then we got to lay us down like He did for

us. Here He is, and those who are in

the flesh, those who live by the flesh feelings, don't want to

convenience my way, my will, my time.

And those who are in the flesh living a life that caters to

sinful appetites, here it is and impulses here it is, can not

please God. Who in here really living to

please God? Like do we do that anymore?

We thought we going to come all the way to church to be carnal.

You come to a holy place that's prepared for your transformation

and you come in carnal. You come in like when we leaving

carnal when it's going to be over carnal.

Oh, the music too loud, Carnal And you want encounter Carnality

does not please God. So he might have a service just

a little bit longer than you like to deal with your what

flesh. All God exercises is to kill our

flesh. I need y'all to cut out Sundays

for one month and come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

Friday. What for?

Kill your flesh to stop living a life dictated by what you want.

Yeah, that place that's not going to cater to what you want

because God is after you and when you get you and him in the

same room, you find you. Not in a self help book, not in

a conference, not in a seminar. You find you when you find God.

We need the fear of the Lord.
