Wonder: Day 16 - "The Turning Point" (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. See, I, I Here's what I need

people to understand. When we set something aside and

say Revival Week, then you can't come expect Sunday gathering.

When you set aside revival week, God hears you and he's meeting

you at your expectation. So I just need to know how many

people came here to receive something beyond what they

normally receive. Amen, Amen.

Look around, accountability. Look around, look around, look

around, look around and tell your neighbors say well, you

going to get what you came for. Last night was powerful.

It felt good to receive last night.

No, no, no, I don't know what y'all let y'all always receive.

I'm talking about for me right now.

It it felt really good to receive last night and you know,

just thank Pastor Oscar today and he reiterate yes.

Right, you like, you like. Here's what I Here's what I

understand. Like God didn't.

Just send another preacher he sent the holy man as a gift God

sent us a gift and what he deposited in us was a gift

that's going to keep on what give him sent us a holy man.

I don't know about you man but the moment I understood to

identify anointing it changed my life.

It changed my life. So I'm I keep closing this

because my header is up there and grace right there and I know

she's going to be looking at and he he'd be peekabooing too.

It's too small. You got glasses on though.

Hey man, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. All right, all right, so I need

y'all to bear with me because I mentioned I released something

last night that I'm going to bring I think makes some more

sense. But Love Quest is about to have

a little shift in it. Like real quick, real quick

shift because Love Quest, how can I say this?

The Bride is a movement in the earth and humans in North

America especially have made church an idol.

And we know. Church as Sunday and we know

church where we can find community and we know church to

find clients that would see what you what you can't.

Play with me about is I am not going to stay at the same level.

So the longer you're around, you'll see evolution and you'll

see, you'll see like I'm really pursuing God.

I really I don't know about you, but I actually one of my

greatest desires is to walk with God, not 90.

I would say about 70%. I'm just saying by by if you

just you was honest with yourself.

A lot of people don't want to walk with God.

What? Why was Enoch mentioned out of

when God's listing all these generations?

He paused and said Enoch, walk with God.

I'm looking at you bold in your face and telling some of y'all

you don't want to walk with God as much as you want to be saved

by God. Because walking with God comes

with a greater price then being saved by God.

I'm preaching already. Jesus paid the price for you to

be saved. You got to pay the price to

walk. No, that comes with a price.

Because you can't walk with God and stay the same.

You can't walk with God with a bunch of baggage and you can't

walk with God and walk with the same people for the rest of your

life. You can't walk with God and

talk. Imagine.

Have you ever? This is why some of us don't

like hanging out with our parents, because there are

certain things we can get away with when we don't hang out with

mom and daddy. Those are you.

Some of you cuss, but not around.

See, walking with God will be this constant.

Like you really about to say that right now?

And if you really love God and have the spirit of the fear of

God, then guess what you're going to have to do?

Galatians 5 says you're going to have to be controlled by the

Holy Spirit and some of y'all got trust issues and control

issues and issues with authoritative, authoritative

figures and you have abandonment issues.

So not only do you not have a not not not only do you have

trouble walking with God, you got trouble walking with your

leaders. And don't say you want to walk

with God, but you don't want to walk with the leaders he gave

you to connect you to him. Now Jesus connects.

You to him. But he gives you.

Pastors after not your own heart.

That's not what the. Scriptures say He gives you

pastors after his heart. Why?

Because he know you better than you.

You think you know what you need?

If you knew what you needed, you wouldn't be on your fifth time

trying to do what you think you need.

Hallelujah. Let me just go into my notes.

It's safe here. Oh I'm I'm going a EJ I'm

telling you and I told y'all last year guys I got to.

Sleep at night and that here's what I really want like I do not

want to be the one with the one talent and then be facing to the

master and he's like you just you just wasted all of that.

I really a lot of people say that well done, thy good and

faithful Sir. You think you want that?

You think you want double portion.

It all sounds good, but who's going to pay the price to walk

with God? You know one thing I love about

about my son? It was a precious moment we had.

Yes, Lord, I won't share it with you, but I'll just tell you it

was one that we just had backstage is my son actually is

allowing him and his mom and I to actually lead him and there's

stuff that decisions in his life where we're sitting with coaches

and things and he's like, guys, you've been in this earth long

enough. You know me better than I know

me. I trust you.

What you think I should do you talking about walking with God.

Some kids don't know how to walk with their parents.

Do you know what it does to the? Father's heart.

When a child lays his life down and say lead me.

Tonight's topic is, is, is is turning point, turning point,

turning point, cultivating soil to handle the move of God.

Everybody want to move and wonder why he ain't moved.

He has moved. He don't stop moving.

God is a movement. We not moving

turning point. And if I preach this to anybody,

I won't preach it to myself. But I do know I got a few people

in here that's tapped in cultivating soil to handle the

move of God. See, when you walk with God,

every sermon and every word He gives you, he graces you to

actually string them together. So you'll remember stuff like,

you know, the side effects of glory, right?

It's not just a nugget to post on social media.

These are things that He is actually speaking.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that

proceeds out his mouth. And sometimes you can't hear God

because you lost track of what he said.

I'm trying to help somebody right now.

You, you lost track of what he said and what he said today.

You can't cling it or click it to what he said, not knowing He

gave you a piece over here and then he gave you a piece the

next week and then he going to give you another piece in three

months because he's not giving it all to you at once.

How are you stewarding the word from last year?

And hey, you ready if you didn't?

Steward the word from last year or even last week.

You are not posturing yourself to say God what you got for me

tonight. He just knows you are storing up

information and you don't value His word as heavenly bread here

and here and here. So you guys don't think PT just

talking the scripture says? The man that uses what I give

him, I will multiply it. The one who does not use what I

give them, I will take it away. Now you ready?

God doesn't take. How does God take?

He lets. The one that does take take.

The enemy comes to take. So now you have sabotaged the

protection of the Word simply because you won't use the Word.

So God has no choice but to allow the word to be taken

because eventually enough words taken will lead to hunger

because you don't know how to stay hungry.

When you keep getting fed, you're spoiled.

You're too blessed. So he's like, let these souls

starve, they'll be back. He's.

Such a God, he's so genius you will end up at his feet one day.

Which way will you go? Gurney car accident Trump.

Like which way you going to try to show up?

And that's why that's why James says count it all joy when you

fall into that, what he's saying is all of us going to experience

some stuff, but when stuff shows up, that will determine how you

deal with that. Season but for those who always

are pursuing God, always eating that meal, always on the Kingdom

meal plan when stuff shows up you can do what count it all joy

the. Person who, who, who tragedy

interrupted your rebellion. You can't count it all joy.

You can't count it something you don't know.

So turning point. Turning point Somebody say this

is a turning point. Let's go.

Heart posture is vital for habitation and promise.

Heart posture is vital for habitation and promise.

Does the presence of God have anywhere to land in your life or

only in the form of stuff? I'm not talking to anybody, only

in the form of stuff. How does the condition of your

heart say, God, you can live here, you ready?

It is not. God's heart.

I mean, it is not God's job to till the soil of your heart.

That's your job. You're, you're creating capacity

to house glory to glory. God, God wants to take you from

one level of glory to another and heap grace on top of grace.

But have you been faithful over that level of grace and glory?

So you can go to the he's not going to stack glory.

God don't stack glory. He evolves glory.

Hallelujah, Mark 4. Consider this.

Consider this. Say I'm considering Lord.

A sower went out to sow as as he sowed, some fell along the

beaten path, and soon the birds came and ate it.

Some fell onto gravel with no topsoil and quickly sprouted

since the soil had no depth. I'm going to say this one more

time. A sower went out to sow.

That's why you hear certain things like come on, declare

over yourself that I, I am good ground because why?

Because God through his farmer is sowing a word.

Tonight God gave me seeds and and the word is falling on

different types of soil. Every every condition is not the

same in here. This is why some people in

church right now I'm preaching. It's been some real good stuff

and you've already forgotten because it fell on Stony ground.

It there's no room for the word to go.

So This is why we'll worship in between messages.

Why to let the word just kind of germinate a little, let it go

down. This is why we holler back

because it is my response to the word that I'm opening up my

heart. Write that valve.

I'm opening up the valve. So when the farmers sow, I'm

like, Hallelujah, when the farmers say say this, I'm not

sitting there all stubborn and prideful and not repeating what

he said because I don't feel like talking.

A sower went out to sow as he. Sold.

Some fell along the beaten path, and soon the birds came and ate

it. Soon the birds came and ate it

because it didn't have no depth in it.

Some fell on the gravel with no topsoil and quickly sprouted

since the soil had no depth but. But when the days grew hot, the

sprouts were scorched and withered because they had

insufficient roots. Some fell among thorns and the.

Thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit, but

some fell onto good rich soil that kept producing, kept

producing, kept producing a good harvest.

Some yielded 30 because 30 don't look at 30-60 hundred as 30 is

less or 30 is nothing. 30 is a part of the soil that kept

producing good harvest right? I guarantee you at one point

those who saw who produced 30 ended up producing 60, because

as you keep producing, you keep producing more because your soil

gets richer, he says. If you understand this, ha, if

you understand this, then then you you you need.

To respond, are you guys hot? I see some people saying no not

all right I am but that's OK. I told y'all that's why I didn't

wear just no T-shirt because nip nips would have been out and

you know I'm good. Hallelujah and some 100.

JT help your boy if you understand this.

Oh, whatever. It is what it is, guys.

I'm good. This is a serious message, guys.

Just preach like this. Thank you.

You almost did the whole little cheesy drum thing.

All right, all right. You have my attention.

Come on. Come on man.

I'm trying to get get his lock back in brother.

If you understand this, then if if you understand, then respond

people. This is what I understand.

Like pastoring is very unique because I watch people who get

every week and then pastor take got to say, all right, this

time, you know, they too familiar with you and that could

be a part of why they're not receiving EJ going to preach.

And then we're going to do nights where you going to get it

from Pastor Daniela? You going to get it from Brett?

You going to get it. How many farmers God got to put

in front of you? The issue ain't the farmer or

the seed. The issue is the what soil.

This is why you got to understand the people you have

around you and the environment you live in impact the soil and

if you care about guarding your soil then it's going to cost

you. Then you need to respond.

I could tell if you got it by the way your life is responding.

If after a while that corn ain't coming up or if that that that

Cantaloupe Inc up like at some point, guys, it ain't victim.

It ain't it ain't this is happening.

It ain't no it's you are not guarding the soul of your heart.

Therefore, what you're saying whenever you're stuck, you're

saying I can't produce, you're barren.

I can't produce consistent joy. What?

What does that say? It's your heart.

We walk around thinking we love ourselves.

You don't love yourself. No more than the person who just

got diagnosed with a heart issue and the doctor said, don't eat

that food and you can get a healthy heart and you leave

there because you carnal and you just start eating ice cream and

fried food and all of that. That's the same way you come

here and get this good diagnosis.

You get offended over diagnosis versus thanking God.

We discover what the issue is and then you get prescribed the

pills and the the medicine you need to take from this day

forward. And then you walk out and you're

like, well, I don't want to do that.

It's hard. Well, you don't want to live.

Like just call it what it is because if you really want to

change and you want to see the fruit, then you're going to

what, respond and not let the enemy steal the seed Afterwards

Jesus disciples and those close to him follow me.

Remain behind to ask Jesus about this parable.

He said to them, y'all, y'all listening?

He said to them the privilege of intimately knowing the mystery

of gods. I'm trying to help you guys.

There is levels to this. You're going to heaven when you

know the mysteries of God. Heaven now lives in you.

Now you're walking with. There's so much more than after

death you some of y'all live in the Old Testament way.

You are dependent on a priest to talk to God for you and you

don't realize there's mystery for you to go to the Father.

The the inner court is open. So you come every Sunday because

you know EJ went to the Lord and sat at his feet and you won't

you waiting for him to come out the intercourse to come and

deliver you what God said. Here's what you got to

understand. If you don't spend time where EJ

spent time, you won't understand what EJ bring back from where he

was. You got to spend time in the

inner courts to even have proper hearing.

The inner courts ain't just to talk to God, it's to learn how

to hear from God. God's Kingdom realm.

It says mysteries of God's Kingdom realm, like what's going

on? I I can't figure out what's

going on. I can't figure out why certain

people are still stuck. I can't figure out why there's

this confusion in our leadership.

I can't figure out how we can't be fishing consistent.

I can't figure out how stuff keeps getting dropped.

I can't. It's not practical.

There's good people that work hard.

God's not saying cut nobody. He did man, what's going on?

That kind of stuff when you walk with God.

He says this. The privilege of intimately

knowing the mystery of God's Kingdom realm, when God gives

you insight where man does not have sight, where God can trust

you with his burdens and you're not so immature and make his

burden an emotional thing about you.

It's actually he can. Actually when he says this is my

temple, Vanessa, he is saying your heart is my heart.

So can I allow you to? Can I share my feelings with you

without you in your feelings? This is why he's often trying to

heal you from all this immature insecure, because he's trying to

house his presence in you. He wants to trust you with his

brokenness and you don't let it. He, he allows, he allows you to

feel his brokenness. Now you go for a month not

wondering why. Why am I depressed?

Some of the stuff that you've broken about is God's heart and

you've made it about you. Can God trust you with his

heart? And it's when he could trust you

with his heart and you're not this, this emotional just up and

down and just all over the place that he comes And this is Bible.

He says I gave you pastors and, and, and teachers and

evangelists. And I'll give you these 5

minutes so you can stop. Wavering to and fro.

He said so I can mature you. He said perfect, but that

perfect means mature you. So I put pastors in your life to

mature you, prophets in your life to mature you, apostles in

your life to mature you so you're not tossed to and fro.

There's so much more in you guys.

Why did why did? Why did he call the disciples

out on the sea when he knew it was going to be a storm to

perfect them? You take all your storms in your

valley times personal instead of knowing that God trusted you in

the storm, you didn't trust you or.

Him here. Here it is.

Jesus didn't make going to the cross personal.

He knew it was about you. And now we swap places.

It's not about you, it's about him.

He made his life about you. You should make your life about

him. All right, all right, all right.

The the the privilege. Of entry I read that but not to

the others. He said y'all got this access

but others don't where everything is revealed in

parables. Y'all want God to be Lord?

Give me a sign. Nope.

We'll give you a parable. You're going to have eyes.

You got to have eyes to see what I'm saying in this season.

Why? Why is everything so difficult?

Have you ever thought that God's allowing it to unravel because

there's your unraveled story is a parable.

And if you pause for a minute and ask the Holy Ghost to

interpret the the the mess you in, then you would get

revelation and not respond out of need.

You would respond out of purpose from revelation.

For, for even when they are or even when they see what I do,

they will not understand. They, they seen Troy, they see

how good God is. They woke him up last night.

Like he'll deliver folks, he'll free folks, he'll bless you.

He'll, he'll, he'll make amends with your enemies.

Even when they see it, they don't understand God saying some

of you, even if I came and gave you a sign, if I came, if I, if

I really manifested as an Angel with big old wings in your house

and I picked your car up and turned it around and talked to

you, you'll steal. You don't want a sign.

You want convenience. You want him to alter your life

to where you can tolerate or you can be comfortable.

You don't want a sign. I'm here to tell you God is not

interested in making your life easy based on what easy is to

you. When we understand this, we pray

different, we wait different. And then and when they.

Hear what I say, when they even hear what I.

This is crazy, EJ. He allows you to hear him.

Why you saying you can't hear him is the issue.

He ain't talking and you didn't hear him.

You just don't know which voice is his.

When I when I when they hear what I say, they will learn

nothing. Otherwise, see the object of

hearing his voice is not to just hear his voice.

It's to learn his voice. I got to talk to this side it

it's not about hearing. See some of y'all just like like

you like a baby when you you you say when then you say then you

hear the parents voice and you're like it's not some of us

in the street. You calmed down because you

heard his voice. You fell asleep and when you

woke up, you still need to hear his voice because you didn't

learn from his voice. You didn't hear in His voice

that He'll never leave you nor forsake you.

You didn't hear in His voice that He is always near.

You didn't hear in His. So you May God have to keep on

responding to your cry. They they will learn nothing

otherwise they would repent and be forgiven.

They would turn. Then he said to them, he said to

them, if you don't understand this parable, here it is.

He's about to unlock something for you.

But remember, he said, even if I tell you, you still not going to

understand. So, but but say right now I'm

about to understand tonight I want to tell you even in this

word tonight, this word is meant to till the soil of your heart.

And already for some of you, your soil has gotten richer,

right? Sometime in messages God's

wedding, he's, he's sifting through the soil.

If you don't understand this parable, how will you understand

any parable if you don't understand this one?

Because all parables, all parables come with this

principle. All parables have to be sown,

and all parables could only be understood to the measure of the

richness of your soil. So he like if you don't take

care of the soul of your heart, you won't ever understand me.

And this is so crazy. EJ we understand him when he do

something for us. So most testimonies is about

what he did. You rarely hear people testify

about what they know he about to do.

So a lot of a lot of when we under, we only understand him at

the bless us level. We don't understand when we're

in the middle. So we spent a whole middle

season begging for understanding when the whole point of the

middle was to walk with him and learn how to walk with him, not

wait on breakthrough. Let me tell you if you get

breakthrough at the beginning. The beginning of the valley.

You got all the breakthrough you need for the rest of the valley.

Hallelujah. Here we go, Here we go, here we

go, here we go. Let me explain.

Let me explain. The farmer shows the message of

the Kingdom. I love him because he's now

explaining to his disciples. And this is blessing because

there was some people. Y'all get this?

There was a group of people he didn't explain to, but he put it

in the word. So we got the explanation.

Let me talk to this side. So, so right now, right right

here, Jake right here that he's talking to his his people, he's

saying there's some people over there they're not going to

understand, but because y'all walking with me, let me explain

to you, I need to I'm trying to pull y'all into it right now.

Bless him, there is thousands of people.

He just said a parable to don't understand.

He gathers the ones he's called to and he breaks it down.

We get the breakdown. So God is saying there is a

people who I am trying to make sure you don't have to go

through what the ignorant Pharisees have to go through, he

says. I'm trying to help you, the

farmer souls. The message of the Kingdom.

What falls on the beaten path represents those who hear the

message, but immediately Satan appears and snatches it from

their hearts immediately when immediately, and what is sewn on

gravel represents those who hear the message and receive it

joyfully. They receive it, how come on

they receive it? How?

Right PT PT PT. Joyfully, joyfully, you receive

it. Joyfully.

Oh, you got to get this. You receive.

Why would you go through all the work to receive it, but not do

the work to give it a place to live?

God, God is going to honor you. He's here.

He's like, I see your notebook. I see you ready.

But but because their hearts fail to sink a deep root, they

don't endure for long. So it's the people that's

excited and they witch you and they bless you and they're

witching them. Pretty soon they just do the

fade away, not the Rockaway the fade away.

They don't. They see the Rockaway you rock

back. Some folks be right and and it's

why why they receive it joyfully.

See, this can be something that you understand about

relationships as well. People receive you joyfully, but

because they don't have no deep roots, they don't endure for

long. For when trouble or persecution

comes on account of the message. See, folks that walked out your

life didn't know it was an attack of the word, not an

attack of see, that's why you don't take take it personal.

I understand when people come in my life and then they walk out

for whatever reason or people get offended.

I understand the enemy is trying to discourage the word on my

life. It's not personal.

I keep my eyes fixed on him. They immediately wilt and fall

away. And what is shown among thorns

represents those who hear the message.

But they allow the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth

and the desires for other things to crowd out and choke the

message. What, you mean that I could be

worried? I can receive the word on

Sunday, but Monday through Friday I am worried about

everything else. But the word I received and

everything I was engaged in during the week chokes the word

I. I love it because some of you

might be like the seduction. Of wealth, well, I don't care

about wealth. I I like this part because then

it cleans up for every the desires for other things.

I love it because it can be career, it can be property, it

can, it can be it can be food. Some of you the word, you get

the word stolen because you worried about eating after the

fast and you wonder why you ain't got no revelation on

fasting yet because every fast you worried about other things.

And it says that the other things.

I love this word. It crowds out it crowds the the

the the seed has no room to be cultivated like like you're here

tonight. Every word being spoken,

whatever God is planting in your heart, you have an obligation to

actually go and nurture it it. Says chokes the message so that

it produces nothing and you're afraid.

Do you know how many people we see that are here all in?

They're frustrated because they can't produce.

Why can't you produce? Because there's things.

You're worried about things. You're worried about in your

life things things, and the worry of the other stuff forces

you to grab everything. People, relationships, food,

jam, and whatever it may be, you're trying to you're not

letting the word push out your toxins.

It's almost like like you're satisfied with using gausses for

your wounds. You just want to soak up the

bleeding. You don't want to heal, so you

just. Gather friends and you gather

relations. You gather this and you gather

busy, busy and you gather and it's like, oh, I wish I'm going

to jump ahead. No, I'm not going to jump ahead.

I got something to tell you that is a game changer.

Let's keep reading. But.

What is sewn on? Good soil, you'll say?

Good soil. That's me.

Come on, Say this is my part. This is my part.

Represents those who open their hearts.

The valve. The valve opens their hearts to

receive the message, and their lives bear good fruit.

Some yield a harvest of 3060 even. 100 fold.

Keep the soil good and the weeds trimmed until the promise is

harvest. What do you mean PT keep?

Keep the soil good and the weeds trimmed until the promise is

harvested. What do you mean PT?

What do you mean PT? So there's a part, if you keep

reading, where it says that after a while you see the ear

and there's the blade. Some of us stop treating the

soil and the seed because we see progress.

That's why I love J TS. He's the it's all about

progression. The enemy's job is to stop what

progression? So so I can't just work on my

left hand. My left hand need my right hand

to be good and then my left and right hand need me to have good

footwork. Like that's why Tom Brady, till

he retired, was working on the 1%.

And then because the way he programmed, I guarantee you he's

still working on his quarterbacking.

I'm trying to help somebody. And then you're, you ready?

I, I was supposed to say this earlier, but some of you don't

realize it, but you're mad at God.

You're mad at God because the word don't seem to be working.

And some of you are in a season where you're like, why keep?

Going. Be careful because you might be

one of the elect who get drawn away and it doesn't mean you're

going to stop coming to church. It's a lot of people go to

church and they heart not there. Hallelujah.

That's just a warning for somebody.

Listen, listen, listen. So it's because.

You didn't realize God was walking through with you through

the harvest. This is why you got to know when

it's a blessing that's caused to keep momentum.

OK, here we go. Let me back up.

You got to know when God blesses you with a little bit to

encourage you to keep going. Some of y'all took you a little

bit and thought this was the harvest.

This is the promise. No, that's an encouragement.

Yeah, that God. But what I have sown don't match

up to this. This, this.

This is not the harvest. It's a harvest, but it ain't the

harvest. Right?

You over here quitting while because you got manna F there.

There you go. I ain't heard you for a while.

FF you with me F look like Look it says you get the you get the

ear, then you get the blade, then you get the full.

Corn. Then it's time to.

Harvest every phase of the harvest like do you?

Ain't it funny? God will allow you to see a

little bit and say don't touch it and some of y'all put the

sickle to it just like you. Like this didn't last you but a

month? And you haven't mastered the

skill of nurturing the seed and the soil until you harvest it.

And then after harvest season, guess what we got to do again?

We got to till the soil and get ready for another season.

OK, Hallelujah PT keep the soil good.

You read that part. Then turn the soil and prepare

it for another season of harvesting.

Somebody said don't stop, look. Look at what turning the soil

is. Turning the soil helps to break

up the dry crust on the surface of the soil, allowing air,

nutrients and water to get deeper into the ground where the

plant roots. Can access them.

Makes it easier for new seeds to sprout through the surface of

the soil. Here it is.

It interrupts germination of weeds.

Come on tilling turning the soil, you have to till, let.

Me put it this way. Tilling too often.

I'm I'm I'm the Holy Spirit. Help me help them.

Tilling too often or tilling too deep can do more damage than

good soil than good to your soil tilling too often.

This is why there are seasons. Where we're just and then like

the last few months, you noticed what God been doing like, oh,

that one hurt and I'm OK, I'm going to process that one.

What have you been doing till Whenever you find yourself in a

tilling season with God, what do you think He's getting ready to

do? What?

Do you think you get ready to do look?

Look, look, look. He said he said he said tilling

too often or deep can can do more damage than good to your

soil. So that's why you got to learn

how to trust and rest because it's necessary.

This is what I also read in here EJ that if tilling too much

that's. Why?

I said as the farmer. Plant it and what do you do?

Go to sleep, go to sleep. OK, look, look, it tells me that

harvest is inevitable, he said. There's a time for you to just

trust me and rest. You keep on trying to turn the

soil 'cause you ain't liking what you're getting.

Just. You just I'm gonna go on this

friendship and I'm. I'm going to go in this

relationship, I'm going to go to this church and I'm going to do

my own schedule and I'm going to serve when I want to and I'm

going to you just keep telling me you trying to work up a

formula to get you in the promised land and it's only 1

formula that's going to get you in the promise.

Trust God. Turning the soil.

Some gardeners disagree on how often you should till your

garden. You know I talk to them, all my

garden buddies, all my gardener buddies, some till once, some

till twice or even 4 * a year. But most believe spring tilling

is non negotiable. The season's dry soil and warm

weather reduces the likelihood of soil compaction and poor root

penetration. There are some seasons, Remember

this, Remember the word over a year ago that you're stepping

into a year. Your hardest thing to do is

going to be to stand and then love quest.

We've seen ourselves. There's been seasons where we

just got to till. We got to till.

We wouldn't be where we are if we didn't till.

And I feel like right now that we're in one of those seasons

again, Emma, where God is saying, look, there's a harvest,

but man, you got to till right now.

You got to till then, then Jesus.

Matthew 13, Matthew 13. Bear with me.

Then Jesus taught them another parable.

Now we about to read another parable.

Heaven's Kingdom can be compared to a farmer who planted a good

seed in his field. But when everyone was asleep, an

enemy came and planted weeds among the wheats and ran away.

About to see something right here, right about to see

something right here. Heaven's Kingdom can be compared

to a farmer who plants a good seed in his field.

But when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and planted weeds.

And This is why I tell you and warn you to when the storm pass,

don't think it's Breakthrough all the time.

No, the storm you was experiencing was the enemy

getting into your garden and he was planting some of you like

whoa, breakthrough and you breakthrough, breakthrough,

breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough.

But you didn't. Realize that the enemy planted a

tear in your heart. And what is that tear?

Force for later. And here you go.

Here's go some of y'all. How did I get back here again?

How did I get here again? Yeah.

You didn't realize when you asleep, when you didn't take

that advice, it was like. I don't.

I don't. The enemy now doesn't need to

bother you because he put some menu that has the power.

It's a birth for cycle. This is why we we often have to

check our hearts. OK, OK, OK.

But but when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and

planted weeds among the weed and ran away.

When the weeds sprouted and bore grain, the weeds also appeared.

When weeds sprouted and bore grain, the weeds also appeared.

So the farmers, hired hens came to him and said, Sir, Sir, Sir,

wasn't that good seed? Wasn't that good seed that was

planted? But not one of them people was

like PJEJ come Oh my God that was so good.

Didn't the farmer plant good seed?

Where did all the weeds come from?

How did weeds get in my heart? How have I been around this

environment for so long? And I'm weedy.

Here, here, here's, here's, here's Wheatie, here's Wheatie.

Look at where you was. Look at where your joy was.

Look at where your relationships was, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And then where, how did offense get in your heart?

How all of a sudden now you thinking about repositioning

your relationship and how, how we get here?

How one minute, you know, how one minute PJ was like, that's

my past, and then another day. How do weeds get in there?

Right, It didn't. What?

Wasn't it good? Wasn't we good?

Oh, it's weeds. It's some weeds.

I need you to see this. It's some weeds.

Yes, Sir, it was good. Where?

Where? Where did all the weeds go?

He answered. This has to be the work of the

enemy because all I do is plant good seeds, they replied.

Here it is. Do you want us to go and gather

up all the weeds? So then there's seasons where

leaders have instructions. By God to not fool with weedy

people. The I see weeds, you don't, so

it's my fault if I fool with you in your weedy season.

Time with God don't just help you interpret the word, it also

help you interpret people's heart.

Do you want us to go and gather up the weeds?

Here it is. Here's what God said.

No, You ready? Leave it alone.

Pull out the weeds. You might uproot the wheat at

the same time. So what he's saying is trust the

good seed is going to do what it do if you fool with weedy people

too soon. What, They're just going through

a moment. You're just going through a

moment. So let them both grow at the

same time. Hear what?

Yeah. Hear what he say.

Hear what he say. Hear what he say.

Hear what he say. Hear what he say.

Hear what he say he said. At the same time, let them both

grow together until the harvest. Here it is, T Roy.

I can talk to you now. You on the other side.

You on the other side. Now you on the other side.

You on the other side, you on the other side.

Look, if you ain't, just confess it over yourself real quick.

You on the other side, Hey, hey, T Roy came in and we planned all

kind of good seat. T Roy Guy had a Wheatie season,

and if you want to know what a Wheatie season is, talk to him.

Afterwards. Right, and then there was time,

Troy, some of Troy's frustrations would be PT is not

paying attention to some of my tantrum or some of my

frustrations, some of my pride or some of my ego.

He's not he's not he's not falling for that because God

told me don't fool with T Roy right now.

So I have to keep TI, have to love T Roy, but I also have to

keep T Roy at a distance because he may not have known it, but

his heart was full of weeds, but it was also full of good seed.

So then, now me and T Roy, I can say you helped executive produce

the worship album while I'm on a vacation you go and work on with

Josh and get the album together. We could not do that some years

ago. You see how many people were

like, no. Right, me and me and Adam, I

think me and Adam was in the studio the other day and we was

looking at Troy doing some work. Now I'm asking Troy, hey, hey,

hey. I want you to be a part of this

project. I want you to be a part of some

writing. Like I couldn't do that in his

Wheatie season. God said leave him alone.

And when it's harvest time, the good seed overpower the Wheatie

season. And now what you see, because

you have allowed people to throw they they Wheatie season

tantrums if they stick around. You see how rich the fruit is

and you see how the good seed now is able to talk back to you

and give you revelation. And now you appreciate the

farmer for not plucking up the weeds.

And some of y'all want me to give up on you.

But guess what? I'm just going to let you go

through your Wheatie season. I'll tell, I'll tell, I'll tell,

I'll tell my harvesters gather the weeds first and tie them all

in bundles to be burned. Then they will harvest the weed

and put it in. I could tell, I could tell.

T Roy has has absolutely burned his Wheaties, right?

You ready? God is a Good Shepherd and he's

a good farmer. He will use the weeds to cause

his seed what the enemy meant for evil.

If you just go, if you, if you just not get offended and

realize you're around a Good Shepherd like like no

abandonment. You can actually go through your

weedy season and when you say hey, hey, hey, hey, ask Troy

every now and then I'll come in there and give him a little

assurance month. I'm here for you, Sir.

That's a good farmer. And then now we're able to walk

together in purpose. But if I was just trying to that

like, because Troy came here with a bag of gifts and if I saw

a gift over soul, I would have manipulated soil, OK?

And then one day he would have went to another church because

God couldn't trust me with him. And then we would have handed

off to somebody else, somebody that think he can get his way.

And this is what you got to understand about this house.

It's safe to be broken. You're not going to be

abandoned. It's revival week, not a regular

Sunday, not a regular Sunday. OK, This is a word.

This is a word. This is a word that I sat at a

table and I got for you, for somebody.

It's a soil issue. It's not a Mama.

It's not a how you was raised. It's not about you, was it?

It's not. It's a soil issue.

Matthew 21 Now Now as they were approaching Jerusalem, they

arrived at the place of the stables near the Mount of

Olives. Jesus sent two of his disciples

ahead, saying As soon as you enter the village.

You. Will find a donkey.

You're going to find a donkey tethered with her young colt.

Untie them both. And bring them to me.

And and if anyone stops you ask what?

And ask what are what are you doing?

Just tell them the Lord of all needs them, the Lord of all

needs them, the Lord of all needs them, and he will let you

take them. All of this happen to fulfill a

prophecy that that that this is that season where the Lord is

asking anything. There is a.

Grace, that anything that has you tied up, it has to untie

you. He's sending a word to untie you

because you have entered a season, like it or not, where he

has need of you. Tell Zion's daughter.

Look, your king arrives. He's coming to you humbly

sitting on a donkey, riding on a donkey.

Look, you the donkey. He the King, and it's time to

enter the village. God has need of you because he

wants to ride you into some places, because it's time for

him to show up some places. So the two disciples went on

ahead and did as Jesus had instructed them.

What did he do? They did as Jesus instructed

them to do. They did as Jesus instructed

them to do, Untie the donkey because I have need of them.

This is that season. I want to go further down

because there's context. Somebody say contacts, somebody

say turning point. Somebody say context, somebody

say turning point, right? Jesus said, I need this donkey

because it's time for me to fulfill a prophecy.

I'm about to ride in here and and and and, and, and, and this

is this is this palm week. This is it's approaching the end

of my life and I I have need of this donkey, he answers.

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people went wild with

excitement. The entire city was thrown into

an uproar. Somebody say uproar.

Some asked who is this man and the crowd shouted back.

This is Jesus. He's the prophet from Nazareth

of Galilee. Upon entering Jerusalem, Jesus

went directly into the temple. Wait a minute, So all these

people is. Like Jesus, Hosanna, Hosanna and

it. Just is how I see Jesus, they

caring for him, they laying down palms and he goes.

Straight He's about his father's business.

He's not caught up about who likes him.

He's not trying to make friends right now.

He's on a mission. He's here fulfilling prophecy,

and that's all God wants to do. There's a word out about you.

I'll say those. I'll say that again for people

who actually get it. There's a word out about you.

And God is going to do anything and allow anything to help him

get get His Word fulfilled. Come on, somebody say there's a

word out about me and God will see it come to pass.

He say he say he'd go in the temple.

He went in the temple area and drove away all the merchants who

was buying and selling their goods.

Remember what I said at the beginning?

Here we go. Now we're about to get into some

some turn for love quest. He who were buying and selling

their goods. This is what?

This is business that he is handling before the cross.

The cross cannot happen until this moment happens.

The the point that they're telling us He has to stop by

this temple to fulfill a word. It's important because that word

fulfilled is vital to the crossword fulfilled and the

crossword is fulfilled to fulfill the resurrection word.

He overturned what he do. What he do Overturn is a turning

point. He overturned the tables of the

money changers. Somebody say money changers real

loud and the stands of those selling doves.

He went in the temple, overturned the tables of the

money changers and the stands of those selling doves and he said

to them, My dwelling place, are y'all with me?

Are y'all with me? This is very important.

This is very important. My dwelling place.

I went through all the heart stuff so you can have a heart

posture to receive this conceived.

My dwelling place will be known. So I got a word.

Remember, Remember JTJT you bring?

I got a word all the way from the islands from my Bohemian

brother. I said brother, if you didn't

understand what I just said, Bohemian brother and sister, and

they sent the word and said that the next.

Move. Of revival in love quest is

going to be a revival of prayer. So then all these words, I'm

like, OK, I put that. I put that word in my heart and

I'm I'm watching over it, but I'm like keeping it moving.

My dwelling place will be known as a House of prayer.

But you have made it into a hangout for thieves talk to.

Then the blind and the cripple came into the temple courts and

Jesus healed them. Wait a minute.

So God had to repurpose the temple so that purpose can be

fulfilled. OK OK so tables had to be turned

so miracles can show. Up.

All right, all right. You mean there's a cost for

glory? This is a House of freedom,

right? You know the song we sang, it

costs? Or is this a song and it's going

to take more than a few people to walk this walk.

And that's what I'm saying. Some of y'all don't really want

to walk with God. You just want a church home, you

just want community, you just want friends, but but carrying

glory it it it costs for you to forget about being accepted.

Let's keep reading. And Jesus healed him, and the

children circled around him, shouting out blessings and

praises to the Son of David. You ready?

You ready? Follow me now.

Here we go. Here we go here we go, here we

go. When business stops as usual,

the. Kingdom of Heaven.

Can be the usual, OK, we'll let you let me see.

Let you say law on that for a second.

OK OK let me turn my mic off so I can chew this man.

I need y'all to. Take a real good look at this

because I'm about to go. Somewhere.

Right the the the. Price of walking with God can

cost you to live unpopular when business stops as usual.

The Kingdom of heaven can be the usual.

Y'all got to follow me. Beware of turning the movement

of the Kingdom into a business model for revival.

OK, OK. OK, OK, OK.

Beware of turning the movement of the king.

Not every brides, not every church is a movement in the

earth. Although God is called the bride

to be a. Movement.

But when you know what you're called to be and caring, you got

to be careful that you don't fall in line with the normal.

Because as I said last night, as Pastor Oscar said, there's a lot

of dead churches. And that's not evil to say

There's a lot of dead brides and then there's some alive brides.

And the alive brides have a responsibility to show the dead

bride what living looks like. So we can.

Pastor Oscar, text me today. All I said was thank you, he

said, he said, he said I'm going to tell you what he said

accurately. I'm about to give you something

and and this I don't know if my wife didn't hurt me when I was

in there, but I was I, I was on something that I was like what

God. Why aren't you sharing this with

me? I'm like a little kid when they

come to talking to, to, to, to God.

Now I'm like. Why you share?

Why? You want me to say that Where

you go, Oscar, Where you go Oscar, there you go.

I said thank you. He said it was such a blessing

and an honor to be with you guys.

I don't get tired of saying it. Your church is alive.

And I believe his church is alive because he's alive.

But when another church can come in and see an alive church if

they dare, if they're going to come back to life and.

This is why we're not going to be fooled with sometimes,

because there's a lot of brides that don't want to live.

All right, man, follow me. If you got to go, you can go.

You got to go, you can go. We'll be back here tomorrow

night. Same vibe.

You ready some gifts? Oh, some gifts.

Oh, some gifts aren't meant to be packaged.

I'm. Gonna break it down for you I I

can't tell you I've been resting a lot I've been resting a lot

I've been resting a lot I've been having conversations with

people like Lisa I've been having conversations with my

wife and I've just been like like like what's going on like

there's there's there's administrative things there's

there's things happening within the church people getting burned

out people falling away people people quitting people like the

body and then you go to another church and you see it though and

I said. It last night the church.

The Sunday church is sick. The the Sunday some of you are

Sunday Christians, the Sunday the North American Sunday church

is sick. We have idolized Sunday.

Look, if you don't go to church on Sunday, here it is.

Most of y'all give the world 8 hours minimum a day.

Five days. Sunday you get antsy for a few

hours. Sunday church is what we do

Sunday. Monday through Friday is world.

What did he say? The cares of the world chokes

the word. Why is not the church powerful?

Because we have the cares of the world and it chokes out purpose.

It chokes out anointing and we lose our way.

And I don't know, some gifts aren't meant to be packaged.

Some gifts aren't meant to be packed.

You got some churches aren't meant to be packaged.

I just need you to get this before I move forward.

Some gifts aren't meant to be packaged.

I'm talking to 100% of y'all your entrepreneurs, your

business owners, you soon to be business owners.

Like, like, like, like God is revealing to me who I am, who

the church is. You got to hear me.

And he told me this today. Son, keep doing what you're

doing. Some gifts aren't meant to be

packaged. We've packaged the church, so we

got to get out at the time we told you we got to create an

experience that keeps you coming back.

We've packaged the church. You look on social media, we're

packaged. Jesus was never a package.

He didn't. They didn't even know who he

was, some of them. And we think through branding

us, the world's going to respect us and know us more.

So branding has taken the place of anointing.

I'm going to talk to you. I'm going to talk to you and

tell you what the what the God, the good God said Some gifts

aren't meant to be packaged. You ready?

Packaging. What did I write here?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Packaging, while great for

branding, also can be restricting for purpose.

This is why it's foreign to walk with people who God has anointed

to be shifty. JT, you know what that word is,

huh? JTJT trains some shifty ball

players. What's the sheet you can't keep

a shifty ball player in front of you are?

You ready? Here it is.

Here it is. Some people are too set to be

moved. OK, OK, OK, Can I say this on

this side? Some people are too set to be

moved. And you're wondering why God

ain't moving. He is, but you can't be moved,

and you only know movement when you move.

Some people are too set. Your branding is too strong.

He can't change nothing. So God in this hour is looking

for people who this is in the Bible.

People, I'm sorry if I believe it.

And we're in a time where, where, where, where man has

found the formula to be successful.

You want a successful church, Here's the formula.

And the world is telling you if you're not doing this, if you're

not waking up at that time, if you don't do this, if you don't

do that, let me tell you something.

There's order, there's formulas and all that, but every now and

then God raise a people. God will raise a people.

Who he creates to interrupt the formula so there's a learning

process because if you're called to do something that didn't come

with a blueprint you have to birth systems All right all

right OK OK OK A lack of mobility can impact the modeling

of fragility where can you find. Where where can you find an

agile church? That's that's what I meant there

I got I play on some words later on Fragilius.

Those are agility. That Where's the bride that

models agility? Apostles modeled agility.

The church was separated and they multiplied because no

matter where you sent them, they still plant it.

You ready? Some churches and people are too

set to be moved. Some of y'all are not ready for

God to reveal to you who you are because it'll require you to

move. You ready?

The bride has mastered packaging but lost the masters sentness.

We, we've mastered packaging, you know, in the efforts to

contend with the world in how to do business.

But what we have lost is our sentness.

And as God prepares for another generation to bring him home, to

bring him here, he actually has to do, he has to undo some of

the work. OK, let's not forget what I just

read. Let's go back to he came in the

he came in the temple and he turned over the tables.

And he says my house should not be a business center.

It should be a House of prayer. And in this house, prayer will

always supersede. Business.

No, no. No, no, no, don't hear me.

Some of you heard that we should not be good in business, but

business will not drive this movement.

Prayer will. OK, OK, OK, here we go.

Matthew 8. When Jesus saw the curious crowd

was growing by the minute, he told his disciples to get him

out of there. Get get him out of there to the

other side of the lake. As they left, a a religion

scholar asked if he could go along with him.

Here it is. You ready?

Say agile, say movement. Say Jesus.

He says he's this religious. Scholar say, can I go with you?

Can I go like everybody in here? Jesus, I want to go with you

here. You want you following?

Here's the word. I'll go with you wherever.

Use me. Lord, look what Jesus say.

Jesus was curt. Are you ready to rough it?

I want you to see this because a lot of people see this Scripture

as Jesus was saying he was homeless and he was poor.

Are you ready to rough it? We're not staying in the best

ends, you know, another follower said no, hold on, hold on, hold

on. You ready?

What he is saying is I am not create.

I don't I don't have a home because I'm called to move.

He said. Aren't you ready to rough it?

Because I, my bags stay packed. Whenever God needs me, he's

going to have me and that is foreign in today.

This is why he tells them don't take no purse, don't take no

money. You'll be no, you're going to

need some money because you it's going to cost this much to do

this. It's going to cost that much to

do that, sure. But he says the principle here

is wherever I send you, I've provided everything you need,

and we have put more trust in our systems than in our

packaging. And that's not what God meant

for his bride. Here we go.

You ready? You ready?

He said. Another follower said, Master,

excuse me for a couple of days, please.

Please. I have my father's funeral to

take care of. Look, let's look at what Jesus

said. Jesus refused.

First things first. Your business is life, not

death. Follow me.

Pursue life. No, no, no, no don't look at

first of all this is Jesus you say saved you and you love Jesus

so much. If some of y'all like well if

that was me I wouldn't follow Jesus.

You're right. Jesus trying to prove a point

here. He is saying time is running

out, he's dead. You want to follow me or tend to

dead things. This is not Jesus heartless.

This is Jesus full of purpose and he understands there's going

to be a people who read this one day and he's hoping you

understand he's a movement. Look, look, look, the the man

asked what in particular Jesus said this is the rich ruler.

I'm going to give you another one, right?

Because in court you got to have a, you got to have evidence.

The the man asked what, what, what in particular?

Jesus said, right, don't murder because he's like, how could I

get this life? How could I get this life?

Jesus? How could I get this life?

He said, don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal,

don't lie, honor your father and mother and love your neighbor as

you do yourself. Now hold on.

Jesus is still in the Old Testament at this time, so he's

given him the law because Jesus is not in the New Testament yet,

because he hasn't died. He came to fulfill the old.

But I also know because Jesus is the old and the new.

What you don't see here don't turn, don't turn.

What you don't see here is Jesus knows he's.

Fulfilled all these watch this, the young man said.

I've done all that. What's left?

That he, Chaka Khan. OK, OK, the young man said.

I've done all that. What's left?

If you want to give it all you've got, Jesus replied.

Go sell your possessions. Here it is.

You ready? Jesus came back to him.

Because I know my Jesus, he said.

This is what you need to do. I know you've done all these

things, but what I'm trying to point to you is that after

you've done all the religious things, you're still not

satisfied. I need you to know that you

really are unsatisfied in life. After you go to work, after you

got all the friends, after you got married, you got all these

things. Bye, bye, bye bye bye.

You got integrity, You did the remnant project, you did the

victory. See blah blah blah blah blah.

And you're wondering why am I still unsatisfied?

So go sell your. Possessions give everything to

the poor. All your wealth will then be in

heaven. Then come follow me because I'm,

I'm on the move. Follow me.

We hear that all the time. Follow.

You can't follow nobody. That ain't moving.

That was the last thing the young man expected.

You ready? That was the last thing to hear.

Did 2025. That's the last thing you ready

to hear? Fear of God, Last thing you.

I got to give something else up. The last thing I got to I got to

move. I got to change my life.

I got to, I got to get adjusted to new things and new, new ways

of walking, he said. And so, crestfallen, he walked

away. He was holding on tight to a lot

of stuff. Remember March 4?

A lot of things and he couldn't bear.

To let go. Jesus is coming for his bride,

and as Jesus watched him go, he's told his disciples.

You have any idea how difficult it is for the rich to enter

God's Kingdom? I want to help you because you

like I'm not rich so he ain't talking to me.

No, you rich off of whatever you depend on.

Let me tell you, it's easier to gallop a camel through a

needle's eye and for the rich to enter his Kingdom.

Disciples were staggered. Then who has any chance at all?

Jesus looked hard at them and said no chance at all.

If you think you can pull it off yourself every chance in the

world, if you trust God to do it, God, oh, don't turn it,

don't turn it. This is a game changer.

This is a game changer. I'm about to help some people

right now. God provides in multiple ways.

Be careful. You ready?

God provides as a father and God provides as a king.

Here's the Father. And this is where provision

stops for us when all our needs are met.

The King provides Kingdom stuff. The Father provides your daily

needs. So you think I got to go do this

over here and God has signed off on this over here because I see

provision not knowing you still have this Kingdom call.

Do you know how many people who have had all their needs met and

left this world, not living in purpose, but merely working a

career that provided and we have minimized God's role as gyra?

He provides us a father, He's a good father and I'm telling you

are missing out if all you depend on him to do is provide

your needs. When you start living off king

provision, It's the way he says not everybody going to enter the

Kingdom. It means what a whole lot of

people going to be satisfied because your bills paid, your

lifestyle is provided for. And you think?

Because lifestyle is provided for then purpose is accomplished

you. Want me to help you out?

Provision can be deceptive, and his wife says a rich man cannot.

It's hard for him to enter the Kingdom because his focus is on

his needs being met. I need this house, this car, my

family, my food. I want to travel.

I want to do all these things. And God said absolutely work,

I'll bless your work. I hear you got to hear me.

I'll bless your work. He reigns on the just and the

unjust. Work is a principle.

Work is a principle. You work, you eat.

You keep working, you might eat more, but living off the

kingdom's system is an absolutely different experience.

You don't work as much as you sow.

I know y'all want to go. Me too.

The bride must stay ready to move.

The bride must stay ready to move.

You ever find somebody that's moving so much you like?

Can you please stay still? Why are you moving so much?

I don't have to read this to you, but I just want to show it

to you. Jesus is walking along the

beach. He sees some men faithful in

their career. And what did he say?

Drop your pose. Follow me.

What did they do? They dropped them and was ready

to move. Like you are.

Who's like ready for that? Like This is why you some of

y'all like God won't man, that's blessing for you.

Sometimes you haven't experienced God coming for

something because he already know he got to fight for it.

So God ain't going to ask you to leave your job.

You wouldn't he got to beg you. You need signs he like just work

your career. God's not some of you won't ever

walk in that kind of walk with God because he already knows

you're not. You haven't created the soil for

him to say, hey, I know you're out there providing for your

family. Follow me.

I'll still provide for your family.

Just follow me. It's going to look different.

That's a good. Good father.

See, I'm not going to put something in between me and my

kids, so I'm not going to even start an argument.

God loves you too much to argue with you, so he'll.

Save you from rebellion. You ever, if you're a parent,

you ever get to that point where you're like, I'm not going to

even ask them. Yeah, I'm just going.

I'm just, I'm just going to go clean it up myself because I

don't feel like arguing with them.

Now y'all got to hear my heart. As a parent, there's some stuff

you know your kids and you like that's a waste of time.

So to save an argument, let me just do it myself.

I don't want that relationship with my father.

I want a father who has been a good father to say I found a son

that I know at any time it's going to be like, Mary, how?

What do you want out of your relationship with God?

Big question. What do you want out of your

relationship? Not what do you want?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you want?

And be honest. What do you want?

What do you honestly want? And then honestly.

What if your actions showed you want?

What do you want out of this relationship with God?

You've read this before. 1st Corinthians 2 said eyes have not

seen, ears have not heard, neither has it entered the heart

of man. There's some stuff that you

won't even experience in your heart that he's bringing.

It's just go. He just got to.

He just going to put it on you and it says this.

There's this level of blessing coming, all that God has

prepared for those who love him. Here it is.

It's not the love you, it's The Who hold him in affectionate

reference. Here it is and obey him.

Love, obey, love, obey. Now look at what I do for you,

God. I go to church, I set the seats

up. I do obey.

And gratefully recognize Isaiah 43.

What does he say right? I'm I'm the one what I what you

desire. What I desire is I desire what

eyes have not seen but ears have not heard, He says.

I'm doing a new thing, Isaiah 43.

Splitting the sea was a new thing.

Splitting the Red Sea was what eyes have not seen nor ears that

this man somebody who is with me.

This is what what we're walking in for some of us.

Can you imagine being a people who saw the the sea split and

here's God, he's like, I don't want it to just be a wonder.

I want you to walk through it. I I actually want you to walk

through the fears and the uncertainty.

Is this this going close? Is this am I going to die?

I want you to walk through it and you going to get to the

other side. I'm talking about we're about to

enter that time where God's going to do some stuff in your

life that you have not seen or heard.

Do you think that that Moses thought that the when Moses was

sitting there with his people, they only saw the the sea and

they saw the enemy coming? They could have never imagined

that God was about to actually split the sea and they was going

to walk right through it. I don't know about you, but

that's the stuff I came to Canada for.

I didn't come here for no regular church.

I didn't come here for Sunday. You kidding me?

I didn't come here for normal said.

I'm doing something brand new. I'm doing something brand new.

Say don't remember the former things, they too small, they

passed. And I'm talking about God's

moving so, so fast that the former could be what he did

yesterday. Even now it's sprouts.

Even now it's sprouts and grows and matures.

Here it is. Don't you perceive it a

perception issue? I'm blessing you.

You don't even see it. I will make a way in the

wilderness and open first, Peter says.

But you are God's chosen treasure priests who are.

Kings. Spiritual nation set apart as

God's devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to

experience His marvelous light, and now He claims you as His

very own. He did this so that you would

broadcast His glorious wonders throughout the world.

For at one time, this is the part that blessed.

This is why God can have me. However, for at one time you

were not God's people, but now you are.

At one time you knew nothing of God's mercy because you hadn't

received it yet, but now you're drenched in mercy.

Here it is, Here it is, here it is.

Procure Your people do peculiar things.

I'm just different. So what?

Peculiar people? No, no, God called me peculiar,

see. And what I love about.

This church, we could be peculiar and not weird.

He didn't. He didn't call us weird.

And some people are afraid of being peculiar because peculiar

has been perverted to be weird. You can't package me, man.

You can't. You can't procure your people do

procure your things. John 13 Here it is.

Jesus said to him, You do. You do not understand.

Now, the reason I'm finishing this tonight is because I'm

about to tell you something peculiar.

Jesus said to him, You do not. Understand now what I am doing.

You, you stop trying to understand everything, he said.

You don't understand what I'm doing, but you will understand

it later. But guess what?

Some people never get to later because they're stuck at trying

to understood. I trust in God my Savior, the

one. How many?

Who will never How many people sing that?

Stop. Do you really?

Oh, it's easy to trust them when you understand.

It's easy to trust them when you got everything going your way

when it's comfy. It's easy to trust them when you

can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Can you trust them in the fall? With John tried to prevent him

vigorously. I'm just trying to show you all

a few things so you could blame it on Jesus, not me.

It is it is it is I who need to be baptized.

John's over here like Jesus. No, I'm not baptizing you.

You crazy that don't even sound right.

You to save your other world and you asking me to baptize you.

You. You see this.

You see this? See this, You.

You. Can't walk in the peculiar and

understand everything. But Jesus replied, permit it

just now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill.

All right, So So what if God says in this season, it's

peculiar, it may be weird, but it's it, it's it it, it's the

fitting way. It may not be your preferred

way, but it's God's fitting way. Kingdom movement must be managed

by man walking with man led by and man knowing the Holy Spirit.

Kingdom movement. Kingdom movement.

Not man movement. Kingdom movement.

OK. I still here it is.

Let me give you one more. I still have many things to tell

you, but you're not able. You don't have the capacity.

To take them up on you, you mean?

There's things that God wants to share with you, but you don't

have the shoulders yet to handle it.

He don't want to argue with you. We can't afford to do any part

of this on our own. Five things we must fight for.

We must fight to keep the sentness of the bride.

That's what I'm going to do. And I believe God sent his

giving, giving me, giving a few. There's going to be a time where

we can just kind of not chill out, but there's going to be,

there's going to be a season for some of you.

I'm just, I'm going to be a little human for you because

then it's going to be a time where we can just kind of level

out and just do human things that fit your, your time.

You schedule all all those things, right?

But there's a time when God, there's a season where he's

trying to untie things. So he needs to find a people

that is that that can easily pivot.

All right, keep the sentence, keep the movement.

We must fight to keep the movement of the bride.

So #1 keep the sentence of the bride #2 keep the movement of

the bride #3 keep the vulnerability of the bride.

I had an impossible on the phone.

Another day I met for the first time.

He absolutely blessed me. Hopefully one day you will meet

him. He asked me a question I've

never been asked. He says.

How does your church practice vulnerability?

He he, he broke something off to me that I didn't.

Understand about myself. I I I didn't understand this

about myself. Why?

Why? Why my life?

Is on this platform. Why?

Why sometime my wife is like, no don't share that part of our

life. Why I bring my kids into it.

All, I'm going to put it this way, when you see in any

apostles in the Bible, when you see Paul's letters, you can't

lead. There's a certain gift that you

can't lead without your life. This is what Paul says, follow

me. There's no part of my life.

That can be hidden. So I share my my my my

frustrations. I It might seem So what I got to

learn how to do under the poverty anointing is I need to

know how to manage my emotions because I'm willing to spill it

out in front of you. But based on the gift of my

life, my. Life I I and This is why some of

you, if I, if I mess up something, I'm OK to say I

apologize. I'm working on myself.

I'm OK to live in front of you. Paul says, man, I'm in prison.

I'm broken, I've been crushed, I've been bruised, I've been

burdened. But I'm encouraging you.

I'm sharing my humanity, but I'm encouraging you from divinity.

So God will put people in the earth who he's anointed to live

as a model citizen of the Kingdom and dares people to

follow their life. And not everybody want to be

followed. They want to be a hidden

Christian, play it safe and ride on King Jesus.

The real church says I'll be persecuted publicly, so you can

see how I handle the stones. That's the real church.

Keep the urgency of the bride #4 and lastly or two more, keep the

agility of the bride. Is that 5 keep the agility of

the bride. So keep the urgency of the

bride. We have to fight in this church

to keep the urgency of the bride.

Keep the agility of the bride. That's six, that's five.

That's all. There's no.

The church has to be less fragile and more agile.

Tomorrow we'll pick up at Luke 14, where it talks about when

Jesus calls people to his house because he says dinner is ready

to be served and all the excuses start coming.

Why you ready? Because dinner wasn't on Sunday.

Move this out of my way, please. I'm about to tell you a few

things. Now I will be be be transparent

to tell you that I'm working out some of the details but.

As I was in conversation with one of our leaders yesterday and

I'm just like, how do we, you know, she's frustrated, I'm

frustrated and I'm, I'm living in attention.

I'm like 100%. I agree with you, where I push

back is not in what is irritating you because God puts.

You in you. In my life to to have irritation

and that irritation is going to point out some purpose.

So learning how to embrace irritation that will point out

identity and call. So I'm like, I've been

frustrated with you and there's some areas I could take some

responsibility, but this is way deeper than an administrative.

Issue. This is a church issue.

And so then to to hear God, for what love?

Quest needs to do. I got to go a little deeper.

And I think I asked you, I said to to start off extreme, I was

like, there's just too much. You ask people to serve and it's

like, I can't people running people.

It is so much and for the the the the sheep at the sheep

level, all you see, all you feel is tired.

You don't know is 20. Other people got different

struggles, but there's one attack.

I'm like, God, what is going on? I'm like, I'm like, I'm like

leader, leader number one. I don't want to tell you who I

was talking to, male or female. It's just like, look what I feel

in my spirit. And I was fighting tears back.

I knew the Lord was talking. I'm like, I just want to shut

everything down. Because what came up is we've

made church about task and a lot of the commotion, this

administrative stuff, this, we're worried about producing a

product, not a House of prayer. When when's the last time we

called each other fighting over when next time we're going to

have prayer? How are we going to figure out

how we let's fast and pray to, to see how many more people we

can get the fast and pray. It's man, It's how many people

we got to serve. Can we beg people to serve in

children's church? Can we beg people to do this?

How many people like it's like that's not what God's church is

supposed to be worried about. So then we're marketing and

we're church planting and we're not really church planting.

We're trying to have church growth and we're just trying to,

it's just this thing and how can we get people in on Sunday?

Should we do night service one service 2 service 3 service 4

service Wednesday service 5 services?

We trying to do all these different things streaming.

Let's turn our stream up. Let's do this.

And he just is like, and what y'all don't know is that you got

a couple shepherds that are called to manage the people and

through some of y'all who think it's just surface stuff, the

enemy trying to use your concerns to kill us.

And I'm telling you, I know it's not you.

Guess what? The enemy is stupid because he

didn't mess with a man and a woman and some leaders that

actually walk with God. And there's some amazing church.

A lot of churches are big because they do business well.

And Lovequest will do business well, no doubt.

But but our success will not be something packaged.

We'll have some packaged stuff, but it won't.

Here we go. You ready?

So I said, how do we do this? And he was just in my heart.

And I'm like, well, you got to take away the thing that has

caused the commotion. You got to starve the idol.

Oh, I know how to fight here. Well, we got so many services.

Oh, nothing. Even not knowing that we're

called to be a movement. You're not complaining about

Apple coming about coming out with 17 phones, different iPad,

all these new apps and upgrades. You are just in the world.

You know that Starbucks being like Dang, I can't even drink no

coffee here. Y'all got all these drinks?

I'm confused. The world throws so much at you.

You're not down the deodorant. I'm like I don't even want no

deodorant. There's way too many deodorants

to choose from. You're not overwhelmed, but all

the perfumes and colognes and wigs and all this stuff.

The world throws so much at you. You go to a restaurant, all this

stuff on the menu and you'll sit there.

Don't even you having fun looking through the menu.

Now all of a sudden God got you on the move and you confused and

overwhelmed. Get out of here.

If God's called you to it, He's giving you an anointing to

handle it all. It's just Lee ready.

God will. Put it on you, not to overwhelm

you, but to call you to survey everything in your hand and make

a decision of what needs to get out so you can make room for it.

All It's, it should be at some point in your life where you are

holding everything he's put in your hand and God will add stuff

to your hand only to expose what needs to get out.

So, so I'm working out some details, but I'm going to tell

you this love quest. I'm working out some details.

So can I'm a bit, I'm ask y'all ask y'all to give me some grace.

I need a few days 'cause I'm working out some things.

Kate, in February we have our pop up shop and we have our

creative night Renaissance, which I hope you all pack out

the place. We got Tommy Zuko coming from

California to headline and all that.

We, we, we and that's a Sunday evening.

But in February, somebody say February, we're not doing church

on Sundays. We're going to starve the idol.

You want to know when we're doing church Monday through

Friday? You know, you know how you go to

work every day, right? We got to.

Flip it and reverse it, right? There's there's, there's

Ramadan, there's there's some religions who will gather 2930

days in a row and pray. What did Jesus say?

He said my house should be a House of prayer.

How does a prayer revival happen?

You keep gathering for prayer and then what we're going to be

faced with is you're going to be sitting there on Sunday feeling

you got to do something. You're going to be feeling I got

well, now I can go to my friend's church.

Oh, now I can stream. You're going to be trying to

find something to do church after you then came five days to

church. You're going to realize how

you've made Sunday and idol. Some of us going to sit there

and be like, what am I going to do with myself?

I'm not serving. Oh, you may serve in why you

come and then some folks going to be like, this is a perfect

opportunity for me to visit that other church I was thinking

about going to and guess what? Good.

Find your church home. But what this month is doing,

it's going to let the soil of religion rest.

Like. Like like, like like watch how

many people got a problem with doing church 5 days instead of

1. Now what that mean?

We're not we're not streaming so the production can can chill.

We might strip down worship in that month.

We ain't doing no social media. So Grace and the team, Emma, I'm

telling you, I'm recruiting you now.

You're going to. Help her out.

We going we going to calendar everything.

So all month this stuff just going to.

Go up. So it's going to take a lot of

pre thinking. But we not on social media in

February, right? We're going to stop all it is,

all it is To Do List stuff. Ain't no cafe on Sunday.

Ain't no cafe Monday through Friday.

You got a break. You don't got to come here at

6:30 in the morning, 5:30 in the morning, you got a break.

You don't have to do church. You can do Sunday however you

want to do it. You won't show up.

You don't have to serve. You don't got to pull out, no

heaters. You don't got to come in here

and it's cold. You can come here at night time

and pray if you want, If you don't want to pray, if you've

got work to do. Cool, do you?

But what we going to do Monday through Friday?

Is we going to gather to pray if you want to go to another church

on Sunday? Do do you know how how peculiar

that is? Do you know some churches will

never stop on Sunday? Why?

Because that's the biggest given day.

Oh, that's when first time attending.

That's that's how you going to cut off the source of growth.

But but Sunday never started the church.

So, so, so for me, the kind of leader you got, like God, God

knows God, I don't want to be comfortable with you.

I I don't want I don't, I don't, I don't want to be familiar with

you. I don't want to get complacent.

I don't want to get in the routine.

I just want to stay on the move with you.

I want to walk with you and whatever adjustments I got to

make in my life, I will make them because I want to keep my

hearing sharp. You look at Jesus life.

He was just bam bam, bam. He was just bam.

It was it's not all this stuff we made church.

Oh, what about children's churches where the kids in the

man man week. It was never about that.

The kids just came to Jesus. They sat around the word.

I don't know if you get it yet, but man, my life, I want Jesus.

I don't know what you want, I don't know what you want, but I

want Jesus. I want my son to know Jesus.

I want my daughter to know Jesus.

I'm contending for my family. And if you're going to contend

for your family, you want the city to know Jesus, Do something

different. God, you can move me however you

want. What are you talking about?

You. God plucked me out of

California. My ministry in Canada started on

the move. You think I'm going to stop

moving? What do you want?

What do you? What do we want?

His ministry is not about you. It's not about what God we don't

give so God can do. We give because he's done.

We don't come and serve because we fighting for breakthrough

like breakthrough is in here. Breakthrough is not a not a

breakthrough is not God's response to obedience.

It's not a response to your doing.

Where's the bride that just loves her husband, that just

wants Jesus? Where's the bride that carries a

cross? This fragile excuse making,

timid coward church. And if you taking it personal

that is not me. That is the Holy Ghost trying to

get you past the church. Forget the world dying.

The church is dying. Judgment starts in the temple.

Before Jesus could die for the world, he had to go turntables

over in the temple. This can't be no house.

A miracle with weak believers. We're not willing.

When you want to see somebody heal, but you're not willing to

pay the price for them to be healed, they don't have faith.

You do. They don't got the word, you do.

They don't have understanding, you do.

This is not their church home, it's yours.

Jesus took his strength. He gave us his strength and took

our weakness. I don't know about you guys.

I just want more. I'm not.

It's not like isn't, it's just not just this religious routine

thing for me. I can understand that there's an

end to my life one day. I can't play.

I've spent too much time playing.

I spent too much time making excuses like I have the

privilege to serve God's church. Let me help some of y'all.

It's a privilege. You got a spot in God's house.

So during this time. I will be praying the church

will be. Praying and we going to come out

with systems and personnel and that can support the gift on

this house. It's not any church.

It's not any leaders. Look at, look at how we're

starting. We're peculiar.

Some mistake, my passion for and now you can't even see somebody

who will spend 3 hours with you, talking to you as love.

Let me tell you this, This is not my dream.

It's God's dream. My family is visiting.

This is a good time. I could be sitting at the home

cuddling with my wife, watching a movie.

I'm hungry. My son asked me a couple times a

day. You sure?

You ain't want nothing to eat. I was like son I do but I want

results more. I'm hungry, but I find my Jesus

said, yeah, y'all eat, but my nourishment comes from doing my

father's. They saw a Bible, so we're

working on some of the details. I said, Lord, any idols in our

church, you can have them. Sunday's an idol.

We look forward to Sunday. We dress our best on Sunday, we

we get prepared on Sunday. We give our best for Easter, we

give our best for Christmas and we've made holidays, we've made

Sundays and we've turned the church into an event packaged

it. Sundays is beautiful.

Then we look down on 7th day event is and people that have

church on Saturday be like that ain't the day you supposed to

have church and we'll look at people on the corner.

It's 5:00 PM. They'll go there on the corner

praying and we'll look at them and be like, I'm so glad that I

don't got to stop on the corner at 5:00 PM to pray.

But that's a movement. Wherever I'm at at 5 PMI believe

God got me at that time and we the church that we people that

think we found the way, the truth and the life.

Lastly, at the end of February, we're celebrating our

anniversary. Seven years now listen, listen,

listen, listen, listen. Seven years, seven years 7 is

completion. The prophet went through seven

brothers and he was finished with and he said God said ain't

none of those seven, my king. It was the eighth son David and

we call ourselves the Davidic house, 8th year, it's own.

We're not walking in over there in the eighth year just because

the building's ready. We're walking over there because

that's when God want to walk. That's that's when God is done

preparing us for there. We got to actually be prepared

to walk in that temple. So God's like I'm about to take

this last month of the 7th year and I am about to do my best to

turn the soil because what I'm going to do over there, we now

going to walk. We going to walk in there as a

movement, not we going to walk in there as a House of prayer.

You should see the. Construction The the, the

general contractors, the the, the, the no.

I'm the general contractor, the construction workers, he said.

I got out the car. He he got out the car the other

day. I was walking.

He was like, hey, handsome. I said hey and we walk in there

and how their heart in. Watching us and I talked to him

today, I heard. It in his heart and I'm pressing

him in just a little bit, he said.

I really want to get this done for you as soon as possible.

Like there's something in his heart that says.

There's something about this place in these people that we

got to hurry up and get this done.

He's experiencing revival. He he don't got the language for

it, but I hear how he talking, the reverence he has.

For this church, so all this spontaneous extended services

for the last seven years, I see God, you have been purging and

preparing gay people to get the right people for a movement that

this city has never seen before. You're raising up a model ride.

And we say, Lord, do what only you can do.

Father, I apologize publicly to you for apologizing to the

people for how you use me. May myself, my wife, the elders,

and any other leader that is willing to carry their cross be

free from the fear of man. May our number one motive be to

please You. May we not bury our gifts, our

talents, and our call out of fear.

But Lord, as we come to the end of this month and as we enter to

the next month, Lord, give me strategy.

Give me wisdom on what that looks like so that we can truly

benefit as we close the 7th year of Love Quest's existence.

Lord, we don't want to leave 7 and we don't want to leave this

garage. The garage, like a garage,

represent what cars pull out of. Love Quest is about to pull out

and God is about to present us to a world, a move God, not just

Love Quest, but there's other churches like Good News Chapel.

There's many churches in the world that God has identified as

a remnant in the last days. I'm just happy we're one of

them. I'm happy.

I'm joyful. That you found a place that you

can call home. May your children, like Solomon

and like many others, keep this place as a dwelling place for

you, Lord. And I say to the church anywhere

in your heart where you just you just been comfortable, lukewarm,

you've been comfortable, complacent, you've been

comfortable. Some of you, man, I already know

it. I could see it.

Let me, let me put, let me, let me put this and you can keep

praying. I'm going to call it out.

And I'm not going to call your name out, but you know who you

are when I say this. You have been thinking about is

this your time to be done at Love Quest And I am here to

bless you. If you think it's your time, get

to where you think it's your time to be.

But one thing I warn you of is to make sure it's God moving you

and not you, because there's a lot of movements in the world

and not all of them are from God.

The church has never been about. Where I can find a place for me

to to for me to get my talents off, for me to go where I can be

best used be where in this hour might.

You be the elect. That's drawn away.

Your posture has changed because your heart is changing, your

relationships are changing, your perspective is changing.

But we say let God be God. 2025, The year of the fog.

The year of the fear of God. The year where his people draw

closer and draw nearer and go deeper.

The year where we walk with reverence.

The year where we stand in awe. The year where we stopped

playing church. The year we stopped making

church about us. The year we stopped being easily

offended. The year where the oath or the

orphan spirit has to go. So, Lord, we thank you for

loving us enough to send a word. We thank you that we have a

place we can have service for as long as we want, as many days as

we want. Thank you.

Thank you churches started upstairs at somebody else

building now has three. Thank you.

Thank you that you are mindful of us.

Clearly, as you assigned Solomon and David, you're assigning a

people to build you a house because our houses are nice.

We save money for our houses and we do a lot for our houses.

But God said, who is going to care to build me a house for all

my children to come home? So may we keep a heart with the

fruit of repentance, never forgetting where our help comes

from. And Lord, all you ask your

people in back in the day and still to today, I'm taking you

out of Egypt. I'm going to set you free so you

can worship me. But this one thing I ask as a

father is please don't forget me.

Lord, may we be a people that don't forget you for your good.

You're faithful, you're mighty Jesus name.

Amen. Amen.

Amen. I will be sure to keep seeking

God for instruction, but before this week is over, we'll have

clear, but just know we've got to do something that's not

popular. Not worried about less giving,

not worried about People are called to this church.

They'll be here. My prayer is that Monday through

Friday we see church growth because we're going to see a

hunger for for prayer. We're going to see a hunger for

presents, our elders and our gap ministry labor to help cultivate

a House of prayer. Now I will say, elders, that the

Lord is about to prosper your efforts, and He is about to send

you a harvest of prayer warriors that will help keep the fire of

prayer lit from generation to generation.

Your labor to build a House of prayer will live beyond your

great grandkids. Your team will see the favor of

the Lord in ways they never imagined.

This will be a House of prayer. This will be a people that know

how to contend. Thank you so much for tuning

into this week's sermon. We pray you were challenged,

equipped and encouraged. Make sure to follow us on all

platforms. That's love quest Intl church.

We out here for real. We're really doing it.

That's Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

You can find us anywhere you need to find us.

But until next time, you know the drill.

You know the motto, get your love fixed man and we'll see

y'all real soon. Light slowing down from the

world. Can you see earth?

There is a sound off the shore, far from heaven.
