Spotless: From "Yes" to "I Do" a Bride That's Ready for You (9AM) - 2.2.2025 (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. Cold time.

Let's get into it. Come on, y'all.

Y'all plowed through the snow. Y'all didn't show up to be you

get what I'm saying? What it took for you to get here

this morning. Come on.

Give your neighbor a round of applause.

Say thank you for showing up. You could be seated.

You have my attention. Come on, say you have my

attention. The year of the fog, the year of

the fog. Somebody say the year of the

fog, the year of the fog. What is the year of the fog?

The year of the fear of God. And I don't know how that's been

working out for you, but that's been working out really well for

me. We're done, We're done.

My attention, we're done. Rain K Wind blue.

You have my intention. You have my intention as we

prepare our hearts for the Word. Rain came rain came when blue,

but I stay distracted by you. You have my intention.

You. Have my intention?

Well, last time. You have my attention.

You have my attention. You have my affection.

You have my affection. You have my attention.

You have my attention. You have my affection, Father,

in this moment we just say thank you for tearing the veil that we

may have access and come to you boldly today.

We come as hungry, thirsty, starving children who are hungry

and thirsty for righteousness. Lord, we just ask that you

release the Spirit of revelation in this place.

Illuminate the eyes and the mind of our hearts.

Now, Lord, I come humbly by the help of your Holy Spirit, we are

free from error, not only speaking it, but also hearing in

error. Holy Spirit, do what only You

can do in this room. Shift lives, transform minds,

convict like only you can do. I come against the spirit of

shame and condemnation that we will not receive the Word from

an orphan spirit's hearing, but we will receive it as sons and

daughters in Jesus name. Lord, prepare our hearts for

what we're about to step into this month.

Am I talking to anybody that don't want to miss?

God, prepare our hearts for what we're about to step into this

year. Prepare our hearts, Lord God,

that we will not miss it. We will not miss it.

I'll be self. I'm not going to miss it.

I'm not going to miss it at all. My family, my address, the

Richmonds will get everything that you have promised.

And we will we, we thank you and will forever give you the glory.

Lord, build your house. Build your church in the name of

Jesus, clean your temple, turn over tables.

Do what you got to do to beautify your bride.

Lord, give this community a backbone that in the unpopular

we can stand. In the face of persecution, we

can stand. In the face of people walking

away, quitting, fainting, Lord we can stand and Lord, we drink

this cup and we do not pass it to the next generation.

We will drink our portion. But Lord, we need your spirit to

walk with us and we thank you for it in Jesus name, Amen.

So, man, the Lord has been dealing with us about a lot of

stuff over the last lot of years and a lot of months.

And we're stepping into our anniversary.

And for those that don't know, I think words gotten out pretty

good. There will be churches closed on

Sundays after today. And the response has been

amazing, not just within our community, but outside our

community. People are like, oh.

That's hecka dope, right? That this is this is like, like

like you can't keep saying no, no, no, no, no, no.

God's doing a new no, no, no, no, no, no, but you ain't doing

that new No, no, no, no, no, no. You gonna do the same thing but

which you want God to bombard your old?

Wineskins, then that's not gonna happen.

Right. And So what we're about to step

into is sons and daughters making a choice to say God, hey,

look over here. We're willing to do something

different. If it means going to kill our

only begotten son. If it means going into the fiery

furnace. If it means crossing the Red Sea

on dry land. If it means going into the

lion's den. If it means that you can use my

womb to bring the Savior of the world without me having sex.

If it means you want me to call down rain.

If it means you want me to sew seed in famine, whatever you

need me to do, I'm ready to do it.

Shout out, I'm ready. Only if you ready though that

sounds like a lot of people closed on Sundays.

We not just doing this For some that's not trending.

This is not the trend. We like salmon this month.

We're swimming against the grain.

We we about to go give birth and we going to lay our lives down

for the next generation in Jesus name.

We want God not attention so closed on Sundays and God is

ready to like boom. You see Tommy Zuko over there

came all the way from California.

A group of us was on our way to California Monday, paid for

tickets for five people driving. Heard something because I'm

listening all the time. He says incline not just Oh my

God, let me put my let me put my, my Bluetooth phone and call

God. No, it's always on.

It's it's your your soul and spirit is postured in such a way

that God can tap on you in your sleep.

And you don't think that's a juice call or merely a bathroom

call because you ever go to the bathroom and can't fall back to

sleep? Tommy's over there and I called.

I said, you know what, You know what?

We're about to cancel our tickets.

You're going to come out here and man, how the anointing and

the blessing has just been on the trip and and things of that

nature. But but who's willing to cancel

a plane ticket just because God's like no that ain't the

move. Y'all not hear what I'm talking

about man. See what you would have heard is

don't go to Cali. No I heard bring Zuko.

So God's plan is still the same, just in a different location.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

See some of y'all think God's trying to take the plan in the

dream he just saying not over there.

Am I talking to anybody here? Not.

Not over there, or not with him or not with her.

All right, see, look, we I'm, I'm it's a few of us in here

only on on on three hours of sleep.

Probably most of these people that's sitting up here leading

you in the worship only three hours of sleep.

What was we doing last night? We was creating some content

because we about to minister to the world.

So I can't be more excited than y'all.

I got more energy. Than y'all come.

On All right, so we close on Sundays, but we meet Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, except for tomorrow

because today is a full day, but we will be meeting Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and we're going to turn

over that idol of Sunday because we got a lot of only Sunday

church people. That's when you give God time.

Sunday. Yeah, we're going to break that.

Well, God's going to break that. Or you don't hold on to your

Sunday and you just go hold on to your Sundays.

And on Sundays, instead of unifying with your church from

9:00 to 10:00 in your own private space and having

devotion, you might go visit. This is the opportunity for you

to go to another church. And in this process, I hope you

either find your church home or you discover this is your church

home. And you in March, you come back

with a different attitude. Don't, don't, don't, don't,

don't make a move like this and come back in March with the same

waver and spirit and wandering, right?

So God's doing something. So I was somebody text me

earlier this week and somebody say always listening, right?

So I have probably 100 slides left from the Fear of God series

that we started in New Year's Eve.

And then last week we talked about what was that we talked

about last week. I know most of y'all don't know.

Y'all don't take notes. You see how quick the enemy

steal the word like that? See what you got to understand

is when you in, when you, when you under pressure and when you

in trouble, you don't got time to grab your notes.

Your notes got to be written on your heart, huh?

Yeah, but it was the turning. Point, right?

It was this turning point, right?

And so again, that's why you can't, can't, can't, can't miss

miss church so much. Not in a church like this

because the Lord is preaching the same word, just different

approaches. So for seven years God has been

weaving a word for this house together seven years.

And we can send you notes with every prophetic word that has

been spoken in this house from day one, right?

So a part of. Hearing from God is you can't

come in, you can't start listening on Season 3.

Don't don't act like y'all don't have no favorite TV shows,

right? And have you ever had a TV show

that's so good and a friend you recommended to watch?

And you got to like you like you got to start from the beginning.

You not going to get this if you don't start from the what

beginning? It's new characters involved,

and the new characters shape the new season.

So, so we got a prophetic word about God sending pacesetters.

Those are new characters. You hear what I'm saying and

they they shift the season. So when I hear that word, I

hear, you know, you approach in the corner and you got to go

right and then we go right and then we get pacesetters.

And so the word, if you want to hear God accurately, you got to

actually tune into the show every season, every series,

every episode and and and and coming out of February.

Attending church can't be an option.

It has to be as important as you drink in water and then maybe

the month after you'll mature and, and and then you can't just

show up to church. You got to engage with the

atmosphere and the people. OK, say there's layers to it.

And so today I feel like there's something Lord want to share and

if I miss it, then I missed it, but I won't miss it.

I'm pretty sure this is what something He wants to say to you

guys and prepare us to go into this next week or this month,

shall I say, and we'll talk a little bit about this throughout

the weeks as well as the fear of God.

And as you hear from other speakers, we'll we'll be hitting

the same thing. But today Lord said present to

you from the topic spotless, spotless from yes to I do a

bride that is ready for you. Spotless.

Somebody shout out spotless right now, Now, now, somebody

shout out spotless again. A little bit better look that

sounds a lot a lot more female voices.

All you cool dudes, if you sit next to a man, say speak up

because you normally yelling at me.

Absolutely. And you see.

Some of the men they like don't even say nothing to me.

So we got pride in the room. Elder Roseanne, we got pride in

the room. That's OK.

That's OK. Holy Ghost.

Amen. Let me.

Amen. You know, in order to not

engage, you have to harden your heart and in order and and if

you are in your heart, you can't sit there and confess.

I have good ground. Lord speak and so into my heart.

You have Stony soil. And so just expect to not

produce fruit from the word if you're sitting here with Stony.

Heart OK I'm talking to the people who are ready to receive

and you going to do something with what you about to receive

Hey man all right let's talk about it spotless the bride I

said this statement last week the bride is sick anybody

remember that the the bride is sick.

I'm going to jump 40 slides ahead because I'm not going to

get there. But the Bible says that if one

is hurting, all of us are hurting.

If one is winning, all of us are winning.

So if one is sick, then guess what that mean all of us and we

got too much Christianity where you're just like I'm saved, I'm

good, I'm whole, I know Jesus, but your left toe needs to be

amputated. How about that?

You got cancer in your bicep, and if you don't stop to deal

with the elbow or the knee or the calf, that is going to

spread. You ever heard of cancer

spreading in the body? And So what North America has

made church, it is a lukewarm model of the body of Christ.

We're not healthy. Is there good, healthy

expressions of the Kingdom of God in the world?

Absolutely. There are churches and regions

and cities in revival for sure. But the Apostolic call on this

House is not concerned with this House.

Alone. This house is to equip the body

to go and bring life to the world.

So our concerns and burdens that God placed on us is different.

This move is Apostolic, not pastoral.

Pastoral will worry about the sheep that are coming on

Sundays. Understand Apostolic said.

I don't care because the Bible started.

The church started with apostles and apostles equipped.

Pastors understand what I'm saying here.

It is in its Apostolic nature. The church was scattered.

If a pastoral church gets scattered, you probably will

lose a bunch of sheep. When an Apostolic gets church

gets scattered, the church multiplies.

It gets built because you're activated to keep the church

moving. And the how do you know the

church is sick? Because we've lost our sent

nests. We've lost our movement.

And as long as there are people in the body that says apostles

is for back then, then the church loses its sentness.

You can't have sentness without those that are sent leading.

So God is raising the remnants of sent ones more than hired

ones. You can't fire me because you

didn't hire me. And so God is looking for

churches here it is, and businesses that he can do what

he wants to do. Do you want to start a cafe?

He, he needs that, but he needs his hands and his mission on it.

You want to open the gym? He just needs that.

He need he, he's not just in the building.

He needs a house where he can do what he want, but he also need

businesses where he could. He need he need businessmen and

women that aren't trying to keep up with the trends of the

world's business. Where do you think real

innovation came from? Hold on my camera.

That would look good. My camera came on.

He just started looking at me like, whoa, Hallelujah.

The bride is sick. Here you go.

You ready? He's coming back for a bride

that has no need for makeup. All right, let me let me help.

A makeup, a makeup generation, right?

There's so much insecurity in this room under your makeup.

He's coming back for a bride. No need for makeup.

No need for plastic surgery. How does that relate?

Stop coming to church acting like you got it all together

right, because under that plastic is a nose you don't

like. All right, get the help you need

naturally and organically so you can stop walking around with

what plastic. He's coming back for a bride

that is not disgruntled. He's coming back for a bride

that is not in secure. He's coming back for a bride

that is not what fearful. He's coming back for a bride

that does not house or host or protect an orphan spirit.

He's coming back for a bride that is not double minded.

How do I know that? He said.

When I return, will I find you? In what faith?

All right, 10 people knew that. Now all of y'all know the

answer. So holla back.

I'm coming back for a bride that I can find.

In what faith? But he's coming back for a bride

full of confidence, full of zeal, full of fervor, full of

courage, full of peace, full of kindness, full of faith.

Shout out, full of faith. And he's coming back for a bride

who's on her tippy toes. He, he, he and her spiritual

stiletto. She just on her tippy toes

looking for him. And there's this eagerness like

a kid who is looking for their father or their mother come

home. They always look at you ever see

a kid running to the window? Is that that is that is that.

And as soon as they see their parent, they're like, and they

just wrap their legs around them and they're like, oh, finally,

you can't have that expression without previous expectation,

right? Right.

You ever come to a home where the kids mad you home?

Oh, Mom. I thought you got off later.

Second Timothy. Too Let's let's dive in, but in

a great house, somebody say a great house.

Say, that's this house. There are not only vessels of

gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and

earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use, and

some for menial and ignoble use. Here we go, Here we go, here we

go. So whoever cleanses himself,

whoever cleanses himself, going into February is not a break

from church. Clearly is.

Not It is a sanctification period.

It is a cleansing period. It is a setting apart why

whoever cleanses himself Here's good news from what is ignoble

and unclean? Who separates him or herself

from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences?

Will then, after separating yourself, be a vessel set apart

and useful for honorable and noble purposes?

Consecrated, profitable to the master.

Here it is, fit and ready for any good work.

What are we doing? We're getting ourselves ready

and fit for any good work. I want to be ready and fit for

any good work. I want God to look at me and

say, oh, they've set themselves apart and they're ready for.

They're fit and they're ready for any good work.

Any good work here? It is not my ministry, not oh, I

got a healing ministry, oh, I'm a prophet, oh, I know any good

work? The Master, I'm setting myself

aside for him. So here it is.

If I'm asked to serve in children's church, I know it's

only a season. And if God said, oh, can I use

you for SSK, Lord, if that's the work you need me in, you've

considered it a good work. You've sanctified it to be a

good work. You've anointed me to do it.

So whatever work you need me to do, I'm going to be there

because it's any good work. It is not the work I feel like

doing. It is any good work.

He needs me. I know that's not popular right

there. So when I come out of February,

I want to make sure my heart is ready for any good work without

complaining. And here's.

The church, how do you know it's sick?

Because if it's not a place that you are talented in, skillful

in, have the platform in, or think you ready for, you say I'm

not ready. But but we had a word a year ago

that said you're not ready because you think you ready.

You are ready because he made you ready.

And here it is. He trusts the work he's been

doing in you. Here it is.

Whenever God calls you to something, it is to reveal to

you, not Him. Reveal to you what He's been

doing. Yeah.

So Sean youthful us and flee from them.

Sean youthful us and flee from them.

Shun youthful lust and flee from them.

He's not talking to young people here, he's talking to immature

Saints as well. He.

Said. I'm gonna put it there.

Shun immaturity, shun youthful immature lust and flee from them

and aim at and pursue righteousness.

All that is virtuous, good, right living, conformity to the

will of God in thought. Conformity.

That doesn't sound like what I want to do.

It sounds like being molded in the Potters hands for what he

needs me for. And how do I know the church is

sick? Because you think church is for

you. You think church?

Is all about you. You think the time is supposed

to be over is for your schedule. You think the ministries they

should have you picking church based on if they got

relationship ministries or if they got business ministries.

But maybe that's not what you need right now.

Maybe you just need a good old sitting on your Father's lap,

leaning on His bosom and get to know His heartbeat.

Conformity to him. He's the Potter, but we come to

church like we the Potter and he the clay.

Oh, they. Singing that song again today.

Oh, you the Potter. We not you.

You. Thought we were singing for you.

Right, we're not a. Radio station, this is not we,

we not, this is not special request.

We do that sometime, but no, no, no, no, no.

We're we're singing unto him. Come on, look at your neighbors.

Say join the choir. How do?

You know we sick because we selfish.

We're entitled a healthy church you.

Don't got to beg people to serve.

Here, here it is here. It is here's a here's a biblical

picture. The person with the one talent,

he takes it from them, and he gives it to the one with the

five who? Was faithful with it.

Here it is. So you wonder why you see some

of the same people wearing so many hats.

It's because he took the one from the one talent and he gave

the one that was faithful the capacity to handle multiple

hats. It's it's not that they supposed

to, it's because you're not doing what you're supposed to

do. So God takes your talent and

he'll put that grace on somebody else.

And for a season they may fumble a few things, but it's better

than having a half hearted person.

So so. If you don't want people to wear

multiple hats, put yours on. Am I?

Am I talking right now? Am I talking?

Come on, come on. I'm anointed to wear multiple

hats. I know I am.

I'm anointed and I don't mind because why?

I want him to use me. I am fit and I am ready for any

good work. And here's what it is.

I don't look at like, oh, you giving me something else to do?

I feel. Like.

If God is. Asking me to take on something.

There's an anointing for it now. Now that.

Other people got different thoughts.

That's fine. That's on you.

Awesome. But your capacity is stopped at

the level of what you feel you have capacity for.

So I'd much rather take the lid off and figure it out versus

saying I can't do that now. There's things that you, you,

you. There's boundaries that you

create. See, you got to hear.

You got to hold the tension. No one's saying don't have

boundaries. But in this body of Christ, the

body overall. There's folks that.

Won't serve. Not because they serve in

somewhere else or not because they're it's.

You just don't want to. But hey, hey.

Malachi Micah, clean your room. For what you don't got to go.

In there. What I I want to clean for?

Just in case I want to go in there and lay down and sleep in

your bed tonight. Say capacity.

Look, look what he says, He says He said will of God in thought,

word and deed, and. Look, here's what he says and

aim at him. Pursue faith.

So so stop. Pursuing all these childish

things and pursue faith, pursue love, love, quest and peace,

harmony and conquered concord with others in fellowship with

all Christians who call upon the the the Lord out of AI like how

he specified which Christians. Right you some of.

Y'all picking boyfriends and girlfriends?

Do you like they they Christian? Parents don't.

Ever fall for that? Then sometimes it's your fault,

Parents. Because you asked us, are they a

Christian? What does that mean?

There there's a. There's a lot of people better

for them that ain't Christian that got great morals that that

that if they they come around your family you might be able to

win they souls for Jesus not. Telling you.

To tell them be but but we think unequally yoked is saved and

unsaved. You could be Christian and one

of y'all don't believe in tithing unequally yoked.

Right wherever. Y'all don't agree on the word I

equally helped what? Are you talking?

About. We got a whole.

Lot of Christians in some janky relationships because they were

like he Christian she. Christian, or they was.

They Mama Catholic. Somebody say clean hands, pure

heart. We're going into February.

To wash our hands. I want to wash my hands.

Wash my hands, Lord, any little, any little, any little dirt in

my fingernails anywhere, any little fungus in your toes.

You're like, Lord, we come in to clean, clean hands.

Pure heart. Come on.

We need tea tree oil on them toes.

Thank Lord, We come on, we, we, we somebody just do like this

with me. Just wash them hands

prophetically. God's about to clean our hands.

Some of y'all asked me. I could hear it.

Amen. We're about to start.

A fire stop we in the garage. Hey there.

Sandpaper up in here. Come on y'all, I need y'all to.

Get this? This is major right here.

Lord says we are creating capacity for His return, not for

His promises. Oh.

Michael, you. Got to you, got to hear this.

We often think we're we're creating capacity for for the

promises he's bringing. Lord, make room.

No, no, no. Listen, if you make room for

his. Return.

You have more than enough room for his promises.

If you only. Make room for his promises.

You may not have enough room for him all.

Right I'm. Talking.

I'm talking. I'm talking to somebody.

I'm talking to somebody. Capacity, Yes, we need to

increase our capacity, but remember what it's for.

It's for his. Return.

Because it's. Upon his return and as he's

coming back, that we need capacity to handle the chaos.

Remember it was capacity for chaos, not capacity for

promises. Remember that word right?

All right, but it's easy to hear it's, it's capacity for

promises. I need to make room because God

bout to bless me. No, no, no.

I need to make room so I don't forfeit what he has promised.

That is to help usher in his return.

You got to get it right. All of his promises is is is has

to do with his purpose. His promises.

His overflow should help you facilitate without worry,

without burden, his purpose for your life.

Ephesians 5 Get this, get this, get this, get this, get this,

get this husbands husbands husbands husbands husbands

husbands husbands go all. Out in your love for your wives.

All out, all out, all out. Follow me.

Follow me because it's it's what you think it is.

But it ain't what you think it is.

So you got to you. You got to have your ears to

hear. Go all out in your love for your

wives, exactly as Christ did for the church.

A. Love marked by giving.

And not getting I want you to see this.

What's most important is exactly as Christ.

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

Don't interpret a love marked by giving meaning.

You buy your wife everything and that's what you're working so

hard for. So you can give her her dream

house. And that's what that means.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no love her exact. That means if anybody in the in

the house got to lay their life down, got to be the husband.

Here it is. Crisis love makes the Church

whole. My my wife, my wife, my wife, my

wife, Amen. My wife.

She, she, she, you know, she in Calgary and she and and I, we

had a moment this week where I had to really speak some life

into her. I had to really prophecy.

I have to call her. I have to FaceTime, look in her

face. I have to make her laugh.

I had to have to shift some things and just understand that

you giving your wife ugly is only going to produce fruit of

ugly out of her. Right, some of the stuff.

Your spouse give you back is from seeds you sown all.

Right, all right, all right, you have an.

Exceptional wife If if if if if this if the ugly seeds you sow

go dormant and she. Don't let that rise up.

Right. Here it is here.

What are you saying? His words evoke her beauty.

Hey, hey, if you. Want to know how to really be a

a man like in this world? It's what it is.

Don't know YouTube, no date now, Nothing, man.

Right here, right here fellas, right here.

Christ's love makes the church whole.

His words evoke her beauty. His word who?

His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is

does everything, everything mean.

He is very skillful and intentional.

Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out

of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with

holiness. And that is how husbands ought

to love their wives. Follow me.

They're really doing themselves a favor since they're already

one in marriage. In other words, you became 1.

And so when you dog your spouse, you dog in you, right?

Watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this.

No, I tell my wife all the time, girl, I am your best investment.

I am. She's my greatest.

Investment. Right.

So if you. Understand, I don't care how

much money you invest in housing and landing automobiles.

I don't care. But if you're not investing in

the very thing that brings life to your home, you are a bad

investor. Yeah, yeah.

No one, no one abuses his own body.

I love how. He says no one abuses his his

own wife, right, because what you have to see and you're going

to see and I'm going to do my best to break this down.

But but marriage is supposed to be the image of Jesus and his

church. That's the only reason marriage

is in the earth, is it? It's not for I'm lonely.

It's not I don't want to die by myself.

It's not for any. Oh, I was drunk, turned up in

the club or it's. Not a we have sex, so I guess we

got to or. I'm tired of being a virgin so I

need to marry you. It's not because somebody's

saying the right things. It is for God's purpose.

You're fit and ready to be a husband.

You're fit and ready because guess what?

Marriage falls into any good work.

So if you're if. You got to marry a purpose

partner because here it is. God's purpose and call for your

life doesn't change because you're married to someone who

doesn't align with it. Hallelujah, no one abuses his

own body, does he? No, he feeds and he pampers it

that that's how Christ treats us the.

Church. Since we.

Are part of his body. Here it is.

And This is why man leaves father and mother and cherishes

his wife. No longer 2, they become what, 1

flesh? This.

This is a huge mystery. Here it is, and I don't pretend

to understand it all. I got you, Paul.

I got you. I got you what?

Is. Clearest to me is the way Christ

treats the church, he said. If I'm going to understand

marriage, that I must understand Christ's relationship to his

Church. OK.

Understand so so as a bride. Jesus came and left Father.

He also you can see in scripture left mother.

Remember his? Parents came and was like, where

you what you boy? I don't know if they said.

Boy to the Savior, but hey boy. He showed this a woman to his

Mama but. Boy.

He's like. What, you mean what I was doing?

I'm I'm, I'm here building the bride.

Up. As a teenager.

I'm building the bride up. Although I'm a child, I'm the

husband, so he said. I'm building the bride up.

The way. Christ treats the Why is it a

mystery? And This is why the.

Enemy wants to pervert marriage in the Earth.

Because if he can. Pervert marriage.

He can pervert your revelation of the relationship between

Jesus and His bride. Why is the bride sick?

She don't know who she is. Why is the bride sick?

Because the church is as divorced.

As the. World is the world should be

divorced because marriage is not for the world.

It is not a worldly institution. It is a Kingdom institution and

it only will thrive in the Word because the Word is the

principles and the pillars that that because the word Christ the

husband. So.

How you going to have a a godly marriage without God in it?

Without the. Word.

Who is the husband? OK.

The way. Christ treats the church.

How does he treat us? It's pretty clear how.

He treats us for one. It says it.

He speaks. Life into us even when you was

in your pit. I was in my grave, I was in my

furnace, right? And in heaven came and rescued,

right? That's what he did.

No matter how toe up you was and no matter how toe up you will

be, He continues to speak. Like that's what we do.

And that's how he shows up in me when we're coming in here.

Pray I I, I watched Annabelle, she said.

I prophecy over you and some of y'all like.

You look like an. Unhappy bride.

Who don't want to? Receive from a good man.

You're you're, you're. Dead to life being spoken over.

You don't. We going to get to.

This in the next in next experience.

Right living. Water.

No living water. So when living.

Water is being poured out to you and there's no place for it to

live and go. What is that saying?

Because living water respond to living water.

Hallelujah. I'm still in their grave and

this provides. Here it is and this provides.

This provides a good picture. Of how?

Each husband is to treat his wife.

Here it is loving himself in loving her.

So Jesus can't turn on us. Jesus can't abandoned us.

Because he's abandoning and neglecting his wife, he's

invested 100%. The only one.

That needs to respond is the wife and the husband is at the

altar waiting for you to respond to his gum.

Like I said, a. Week ago.

Two weeks ago. I've never seen a bride stay at

the back of the church. And say her.

Vows. There there's been.

Some brides that don't show up, I can respect one not showing

up. You've never.

Seen cold feet? Maybe you have?

In the. Ceremony.

No, no bride. Just show up and stand at the

back and then and then all rise. So then when the.

Husband is worshipping over you and singing over you.

That's what worship is. We're singing to our.

Husband, he's singing back over us.

How can you like like I wish? My wife would if I'm like, girl,

you are so beautiful and she like.

Girl, I adore you, I love you, I bless you, girl.

Girl long life is up. Girl, you better.

Come here. Right, So what that would?

Tell me about her she's not receiving.

And then when she. Want to talk all of a sudden

she. Want to hear me talk?

Yeah. And they don't work like that.

Here it is, loving himself and loving her.

Here it is. And how each wife.

Here it is now the wifey. The wifey.

And how each wife is to honor her husband.

How each wife? Is to honor her.

Don't think this is a marriage seminar.

He's he's. Correlating the relationship

between. So now we we heard about the

husband. Here's the wife's response.

The wife is to honor her husband.

And then he gave the. Example of body How does the

wife honor the husband? Here it is to honor the body.

Who's the body? The church, in other words, you,

when you understand this, you don't got a problem serving

because you understand serving is a part of taking care of His

body. Hey, hey, hey, don't say you

honor your husband, but you don't want to take care of his

body. You got a.

Attitude. I wish my wife, if my wife, my

wife sometime, sometime. I can't, I can't.

I can't let me be let. Me.

How do I share this? All right, he's watching.

He's like no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no hero.

Tell him to be quiet. That will be quiet.

Right. Right.

Would you go get AI know? I don't know how many fellas in

here get pedicures or whatever, but I do OK if somebody was

sitting there just. Slapping your.

Toes together and just like. Handling your.

Feet all rough. Like don't serve.

Me grudgingly. Here it is.

Serve me grudgingly. I'm going to take that grace.

Give it to somebody. Else you're going to be like,

they serve in multiple ministries, but you serve in one

with an attitude. Right, it won't.

Be that way always. But those that are concerned

with building the body, they don't mind like God bless me,

and they understand when God lays something else.

It's not for you to leave church or bag up off of taking care of

the body. It's for you to examine your

life and This is why we're doing Monday to Friday.

It's because it's going to put some pressure on your day-to-day

life and he's going to expose idols.

Well, normally. After work, I go to the coffee

shop normally, that's when I'll that's me time.

No. So you got five day me time and

God only got 190 minute me time. He didn't save you for you.

He saved you from you for him. Yesterday's.

Price cannot beat today's price. I said this a few weeks ago.

Have you been saved? You've been coming to church,

You've been here last year, You was here the year before.

You think that you're going to see the new without increasing

the cost? Keep it pushing, he's too good.

And when you find. Something too good if you find

we we have some shoes over there the other we got some shoes over

there. I don't know if they're still

there. We're going to see how long it

is and we're going to see who's going to pick them shoes up and

be like can you can you take it down by $100?

No, no, no, them shoes resell is almost $1500.

So we selling them for 600 period, but but yesterday's

price right, right. You, you wearing your.

Little Nike Airs and you want to go up to some Yeezys?

Well, you got to pay Yeezy price.

Like Apple for. A long time you can find no

computer on sale. You you you go in that you need.

This is why you only find you. You walk by Louis Vuitton and

all these like like them stores you only normally.

See like two to three people in there?

Boy. But that one bag, the price

different. God's not coming.

Down on the cost. The kingdom's not.

For sale. Man.

This is this is the good news. E2, MO.

Man, and we going to let you go back out in the snow.

Let us rejoice and shout for joy.

Exalting. And triumph and triumphant let

us celebrate and ascribe to him glory, ascribe to him glory.

Do well deserved for the marriage of the Lamb.

At last has come. Here it is.

We read this the other day. Jesus gave and given this

description. His bride has been prepared, has

prepared herself. Here it is.

Why is that? Highlighted because he says what

his bride has done. His bride.

Has what prepared herself his bride?

Has what prepared herself his bride?

Has what prepared yourself? Going into these.

Next few weeks. Doing what?

Preparing ourselves for what? Whatever he want.

She has been. Permitted to dress in here, it

is fine linen, dazzling and white, for the fine linen is

signifies represents the righteousness, the upright, just

and godly living deeds and conduct and right standing with

God and the Saints. God's what?

What do you call you? Come on.

What do you call you? He call you holy people.

He call you this Saints, holy God's holy people.

And we're not just holy because he's holy.

We're also to live holy. Then the Angel, then The Who,

wait a minute, who's talking? You got to get this.

Who's talking? Then the Angel said to me, the

Angel who said it to me, Angel, write this down.

Write this down. Blessed, happy to be envied are

those who are what summoned, invited, called to the marriage

supper of the Lamb. You see the privilege?

You have to be invited to the supper.

You see the privilege that you how many people you see come to

church. Feeling like they are, they are

blessed to be here. Like the Revelation?

Of like I am privileged to walk in my father's house.

And he said to. Me, Father, further, sorry,

further. These are the true words, the

genuine and exact declarations of God.

Here it is then I fell prostate at His feet to worship.

To pay divine. Honors Why?

Because he has the revelation of being privileged to be in the

Father's presence. Here it is, and that you worth

something returning for. Just think.

About it, just think about it, Jesus is returning for you.

Come on Canada, come in Canada, come on, come on.

Come on Canada, come on, Jesus is.

Returning for you right here's here's what the world does well

is we have we love superhero stories, right that really

dramatic movie and then finally the hero comes in and saves them

and we're like yeah but what about for.

You you need to be rescued and he's returning for you.

Here it is. But he restrained, he said.

I bowed posture. I was on my way to be flat on my

face. Who?

Who? Who?

He restrained me and said, who is he?

Who is he? The Who?

The Angel, he said refrain. The Angel said, refrain.

Another servant. You must not do that.

I am only another servant with you.

Wait here. Here's an Angel.

Saying I'm just like you don't do you don't worship me.

Don't worship me because I worship the same 1 you worship

some of y'all. This is why I pray for the

spirit of revelation. I understand who you are right

now. He says no no no, no, no we

worship the same. Don't worship me, I'm just here

to deliver a message to you. I've been waiting.

To see who you was, all right. Another servant, let's just read

you, read you the Bible with you and your brethren who have

accepted and hold the testimony born in Jesus.

And here's what the Angel says to them.

Worship God. For the next.

Few weeks. What are we going to be

intentional about? Doing what?

Worshiping God? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday, and then Saturday, Sunday?

Up to you how you want to do that. 9:00 to 10:00.

We're calling all of us together in our separate places as the

Holy Spirit knits us together. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

Friday, 5 opportunities 1:00 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday. We're going to come and pray

because it's the House of Prayer.

It's not about. Programs.

I'll close with. This Hebrews 10 So friends, we

can now without hesitation, no hesi.

No hesi walk right up to God. In other words, stop.

Pump thanking God. I'm coming Lord.

Not this week though. I'm coming Lord.

Let me, let me. Just sleeping in one more last

time. I'm coming Lord.

One more poor insight. Just one more.

I'm coming, Lord. One more hit.

I'm coming, Lord, he said. Man, you got the right to come.

The privilege. Here's another.

Here's the privilege. What's the?

Privilege. That I can walk.

Right up to God. What's up, Sir?

The the veil was torn. What?

This is the amazing thing. The only time the veil is

removed is when. There's intimacy.

OK, me, I know. A lot of y'all haven't been

married but when I removed my brides what I didn't remove.

Her veil until I was ready to kiss her.

OK, let me take you back to in Genesis, when he, when he made

us, it says he breathed into our nostrils.

Then we were. Separated from that intimacy,

then in Jesus, the veil that once blocked us, he brought us

back nostril to nostril. Only.

A few people will probably understand that one right there.

That's that's fine, that's fine. That's fine.

This is like. Like, like, like being in love

with God. You got to get this kind of

stuff in your heart because when the veil is removed, like again,

here's here's why Paul is saying, man, you got to

understand it. So when my beautiful bride came

down that aisle and we sat there and we was just doing this at

the aisle, couldn't wait till we said I do not yes, we said yes a

year before that. When is engagement going to be

over? It's from yes to.

I do, I do. As.

Marriage. A lot of people want to be

engaged to Jesus. Affiliated, not full committed.

One foot in, Amen, 7 toes in. You still got 2 toes hanging

over the hill. Bring bring the toes in in the

shoe. OK Hallelujah.

Understand there when I when I do weddings.

There there's. This kind of like you feel this

anticipation between bride and groom, but as the facilitator, I

tell them you're not married yet.

You cannot cross the veil. Jesus.

Tore the veil to marry you. I.

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm really trying.

OK, so, so, so, he says without hesitation.

It's like when he removed the veil.

He you. Might see anger because it says

he tore the veil. He ripped it.

No, no, this is what he did. He took the veil.

Oh, I mean anybody. Ever been in a wedding in here?

OK, stop staring at me like you haven't been like right that

what? You ever see this action before

right? And then you.

You may now piss the ride right? Like like even as a facilitator

I have been delegated authority in a region to bring 2 together

as one. So I always ended with declaring

the authority I have. To.

Facilitate entering you guys into this holy union.

So, so when Jesus is on the cross, and when that veil tore,

all the heaven says you may now kiss the bride.

All right, This, this, this. Like I know this is like some

rib eye. This is like prime rib right

now. OK, prime rib walk right up to

God to the holy place. Jesus has cleared the he.

He's cleared the way no longer. And This is why if you're

Catholic in here, if if, if your parents is Catholic in here,

understand that in, in that Catholicism in, in that there's

a veil still there. Right, right.

Muslim other religion. There's a veil there because at

5:00 then I. We're at this time.

Then I no, he says. When like a kid, my kids barge

in my room, I'll be like, OK one day.

Hallelujah. Don't you see y'all strange in

here? Y'all strange and you need to

open. The door, because they have

access back there. They'll everybody else knock.

Everybody. Micah boom y'all got to get this

though with no hesitation. So I'm talking.

To the people who tired of the religious knocking, No, no, no,

no. It ain't no knocking.

I got keys. I got access.

He has given me the keys. I can go right up to him boldly.

I can walk right up to God into the holy place.

I don't got to tell you. I don't got to get permission.

That's my father. What is done that the blood

acting as our priest, the curtain into God's presence, His

body? So let us all come forward and

draw near with true, honest and sincere hearts like children.

I like this. Part.

In unqualified assurance. Here it is.

Unqualified assurance, but absolute conviction engendered.

By what faith? By that leaning that is ultimate

faith. When Mike could just.

He don't know if. I'm in a meeting.

Nor does he care. He.

Don't know if we. Sleep.

Nor does he care. He just knows that that room is

his. If you saw him at the video

shoot last night. You couldn't tell.

Him. That wasn't his music video.

Because whatever. Whatever is my father's is mine.

There was this oneness, right? He saw that the video was his

because it was his father's, right?

Do you see you? That's a son who looks at father

and sees himself to the look to the point that what his father

is doing, he is at he's he's doing it in his heart.

It's not, oh, this is dad. Let me just move out the way.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm looking at my dad doing it

and in my heart, every part of me all the way.

We was getting ready. So we got dressed there, right?

And I'm like, you know, he's like kid, he's like he put his

little old jacket in the suit bag.

He had his own suit bag and his own necklace.

He laid it out just like his dad.

He laid it out. He got his socks, put them in

his brand new shoes and he did it.

And he got he had his little outfit up on the hanger and he

got there. He's like we getting dressed

now. He's like we getting dressed

now. And he went in the bathroom, he

put on his shirt, he put on his blazer, he put on his swaggy

Adidas pants and his spanking white and gold Converse.

He put his gold necklace on, did his.

Hair. He stepped out.

Whole. Night he he he he dancing he's

in the video and then at the end of the night what did he go do

He he had jazz mean video and he did his own video shoot and he

grabbed a mic and he just like. We, we.

We. Laughing man, but when his sons

and daughters going to see see their Father and you are going

to own the spirit of the Father, the same spirit that raised

Jesus from the dead. Listen, you see his victory,

you're going to walk in victory. You see his hope.

You're going to walk in hope. You see his power.

You're going to walk in power. Let us make them in our image

and in our likeness, in Jesus name.

Come on, give God a shout of praise.

Father in the name. Of Jesus.

You said let. Us make them in our image and in

our likeness. Lord.

Lord, may we put on the new man. May we walk in the mind of

Christ. You said, hey, walk in dominion.

As I walk in dominion, kids subdue.

As I subdue, kids be fruitful. As I'm fruitful kids create As I

create kids. The father is trying to get sons

and daughters to be sons and daughters, not merely male and

female, not merely fathers and mothers, not merely husbands and

wives, no sons and daughters. And some of you don't know how

to be a husband because you don't know how to be a son.

You are a. Son, before you was anything

else. And God says.

Look to me, I'm the image bearer.

I am, he says. We are beholding Him looking in

a mirror and that's how we go from glory to glory to glory,

not focused on the things of the world.

As we go. Into this month.

It's to take our minds off, oh, I got to do this Sunday.

No, it's a life, my kids. And this is not joint custody.

My kids. Live with me.

And the more my. Kids live with me.

The more they bear. My image.

And that's the. Hurtful part of not having both

parents in the house because it's in seeing male and female

that you become whole. Men need to see male and female.

Daughters need. To see male and female but but

here it is. This is why the devil works

overtime this. Is why the government.

Works overtime. To destroy the image of what

family is. We can't afford.

To have any more jacked up marriages and relationships.

God's image. Is on the line in this world and

in our lifetime. We got a responsibility to bear

His image, to bear his likeness and to let it shine and to be

His bride who is ready. Who is in?

Anticipation, who is hopeful, who is full of faith?

And I don't know about you, but you open your mouth.

If that's you, you just like God.

No, I'm not. I'm not going into this month

regular. Something's got to shift.

Lord, if you need more of me, you can have more of me.

You want to use me, use me. However you want to use me, use

me and I'm here to tell y'all it's the time is now.

You didn't need it too. Many signs, too many wonders.

God has done playing with you. The time ain't.

Never going to be right for some of y'all.

If you fumble. Fumble, but fumble now.

But the Lord is. Coming for his bride.

And here at Love. Quest we will not be some old

jacked up bride with lashes on halfway.

We weave all the No, we ain't gonna have no weave.

We don't know why he ain't coming for weaves.

He coming for it all natural. No, stop playing.

Not going to be a disgruntled community.

We're not going to be divisive. We're not going to let.

Jezebel do what she do. We're not going to let Ahab do

what he do. No, no, no.

No, no, we're not going to be a murmuring and complaining

community. No.

You can do that on the fringes, but you're not going to do that.

If you're a carrier, now the vision and the mission.

This month is for you, this month is for me, this month is

for God. Clean hands, pure heart.

Lift your hands right where you are.

I don't want to be the same. I pray that that.

Desire is stirred up in some of your hearts.

That you're just like. Me, I don't want to be the same.

I don't just want to be Christian.

I want to be a. Follower of Jesus Christ, I

don't want to be lukewarm. I want to be hot.

I want to be on. I want to be always attentive.

Ever. Blessed, ever present.

Ever. Fruitful.

I want to live in. His hands.

I want to live in his arms. I want to live on his chest.

Come into his. Kingdom as a child.

And the enemy is working overtime to tarnish the image of

the. Body I declare over.

Your marriage that you're not just existing, but it's vibrant,

it's. Vibrant husbands and.

Wives know how to honor spouses, and before they're your spouse,

that was God's daughter. And that was.

God's Son. Respect them, honor them, Lord,

here in. This House, you have our

attention. You have our.

Affections. And I declare.

Church that in this month, your roots, your roots go ever deep.

You will not. Be uprooted ever again.

That the Lord is. Establishing you in this hour.

He's establishing your bloodline in this hour.

And the Holy? Spirit is increasing your

capacity for His return. I'm here to tell some of you you

can do it. If some of you are.

Ma'am, start this business, will it?

Look, you don't got to do everything at once.

One day I want to have my own cafe.

Go start. Maybe you don't have the money

to buy a cafe right now, but you you got eyes to look.

You got the ability to go price things.

It's nothing but. Forward This is not a steal

season. It is forward you can hear under

pressure. You can move.

Under pressure. Hallelujah.

Yeah, you can be. Multifaceted in this season.

Had a friend tell me one word. He said this is the year to

unload. One word.

Unload, unload, unload. I know that was a word for me.

This is the year to unload. I've been I've been filling my

vault up. God has been filling my vault

up. But this year we going to

unload. We going to unload.

You got you going to see it, it's going to you.

We going to get on your nerves. We about to unload.

Week after week, month after month we are going to unload.

And the enemy is terrified because he had you convinced for

a season that you were not who God says you are.

But I am watching you. You are bold.

You are courageous. Come on.

You are anointed. You are skillful.

You are a great leader. You do have a large capacity.

Anxiety is not yours. Depression is not yours.

Worry is not yours. Come on.

It is not yours. Come on.

In the name of Jesus. Burnout is not yours.

In the name of Jesus. Quitting is not yours.

In the name of Jesus. Poverty is not yours.

Disease is not yours. Mental illness is not yours.

In the name of Jesus, fear is not yours.

Double mindedness is not yours. Doubt and unbelief is not yours.

Wavering is not yours. Wandering is not yours.

Rage is not yours. Death is not yours.

It is not yours. But long.

Life is yours, Courage is yours. Faith is yours.

Faithfulness is yours. Hope is yours in the name of

Jesus, generosity is yours. Wealth is yours, Wholeness is

yours. Peace is yours, Joy is yours,

long-suffering is yours. Come on, shout.

All right, we're going to shift. OK so so next door we have our

pop up shop and it. All right, let me say this man,

same people saying woo man. We got a pop up.

Shop next door. I know some people will be like,

living water in you, my, my job is to pull it out of you.

That's my. Job, right, Right.

That's my job. And so I'm not trying to make

We want to give some people an opportunity to go next door and

get you some gear. And I'm telling you, you want to

trying to give away and my wife said no.

And it wasn't for her. She just liked to see me in

this. So I'm.

So. So maybe next pop up shop, it'll

be in there, but it's some really dope stuff in there.

And so go next door and support the Remnant project.

Also, we're going to have another fundraiser, a meat

fundraiser, MEAT fundraiser, and the proceeds will go towards the

But so we have a family. In the church, we got a cow.

I think we should get 2 cows if that's possible, because I got,

we got people that don't go to this church that's been that

heard about it, family and friends that actually want some.

And I think we're going to sell out very quick.

And so we're selling these, these, these bundles and we'll

have more information. But again, all the money the,

the, the profit is going to go towards and we have the

potential to make what about $5000?

That's after we purchased the cow and the cow money go back.

OK, we got to get the money back for the cow and then after the

cow there's. We we got.

We we got about 5 grand. And that's a lot of money.

That's a lot of money that can handle some some floors.

OK, Tonight I'm asking everybody to come back because I believe

if you were created then you are a creative.

And so don't cancel yourself out tonight.

and we have Tommy Zuko here that will perform at the end of the

night. That's going to be.
