The Year of the Fear of God (9AM) - 1.19.2024 (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.

Thank you for everybody that, that has continued to keep the

fire lit, Elder John said. Man, can't wait to see you get

home. I know you're going to bring the

fire. And we hung up.

I said peace and then really quick and the Holy Spirit was

like, no, you're not, you're not bringing the fire.

You're not bringing the fire. They, they're, they're keeping

the fire lit. I'm bringing gasoline and wind.

That's what I'm bringing, right? So I thank God that I get to

walk with him and he can correct me even over something that

seems simple because his mindset at the end of the day, wait a

minute. I'm no, I'm not bringing no

fire. I mean, I am, you know, I'm

saying, but I'm not bringing no fire.

The house is already on fire. We just, we got, we got mature

people now that know how to keep the, the altar lit.

And so thank you. Thank you.

So I pray that I will I will add some gasoline on the fire and

and contribute to us going a little bit higher.

Let me just dive in 2025, the year of the fear of God, the

year of the fog. I think it's very important to

understand is the Spirit of the fear of God.

Very important to understand that as much as we may shorten,

it is important to understand that the fear of God, It's the

spirit of the fear of God. It is a manifestation of the

Holy Ghost. Understand that, like that's

very important to understand because you could be trying to

walk in something that you think you have to earn versus walking

in the spirit of it and then cultivating your spirit, your

heart, your ways to align with the Spirit of God.

And as the Holy Spirit has his way in your life, here it is, it

is his duty to help you come to a place in your, in your life

where you walk in reverence of God.

So this is not a, a stand alone effort.

You're not having to strive to, to get in this fear of God.

But there's practical principles and steps that you take to walk

in this. But it starts with a hunger and

thirst for righteousness, right? So so so to walk in the spirit

of the fear of God a lot of times, yes, it's worship, but

it's hard to to to I will tell you this.

He said he's coming and he's looking for the worshipper that

worships him in what spirit and what truth.

Kay, you got to understand this. There is no.

True worship. If you don't fear God, you're

just singing. You ready and your love for God

and your worship for God stops at Eros.

You are romantically in love with God because romantically

means because he is not physical.

So there's no physical connection like you would be

when you are in a romantic relationship, but the physical

relationship you have with God is what He can do for you.

That's how you get physical with God, because you make it about

what He can tangibly do for you. So your worship stops at Eros.

It's erotic in a spiritual sense.

It's up and down, hot and cold, lukewarm.

By the time you're 30, how many boyfriends or girlfriends you

will be able to say you had? Because Eros is something that

comes and goes. And unless you get your

relationship with God out of a physical relationship with God,

this is here it is. Here's some fresh revelation for

you. This is why He doesn't just want

you to be a virgin till you get married for virgin's sake and

physical sake, but that that pureness represents the kind of

relationship he wants to have with you first before you start

getting things from him. So if you can't hold off on the

nookie, then guarantee you you flow with God in the same way

and when you don't get your way you throw a tantrum.

Some of our relationship with God is purely physical.

It's romantic. You date God, you don't want to

marry him. See the fear of God causes you

to walk in covenant with God. It's a marriage.

Can I talk to you? I'm my Holy Ghost.

Some of y'all dating God and some of y'all engaged.

You say yes. Afraid to say I do.

Yeah. How about that poor picture?

Jesus is your your boyfriend, your girlfriend, Somebody you

hit up some of y'all? God's a booty call.

That's crazy, huh? Booty.

How do young people say booty call crazy?

We don't like looking at it like that.

But then God can call us adulteress, so the so the So if

God's calling us something that we can really only relate to as

a physical thing. Oh, you cheated on yours?

No, but you cheat all the time. I did too.

Whenever you don't obey God, it's adultery.

Talk to me, PT Little gasoline. I wish I'd have brought a

gasoline can. Hey.

Huh. So, so this is what you got to

understand. So if you can understand that

these these these things, these marriage is a great mystery.

The Bible says you can only understand marriage truly

through relationship with God If you don't understand his

relationship with His church and you married.

There's the problem. Marriage physically is meant to

look like a relationship between Jesus and his church.

It is not meant to look like a solution for lonely.

It is not something to help you stop masturbating.

Hallelujah, gasoline, right? Marriage has become Marriage has

become for everything else but to be a reflection on earth of

God's relationship with His children.

And then we got kids. Hallelujah, it didn't.

I don't know who it is for birth control.

Is let me. Just think of it in the name you

control and birth. And fellas, if you got a girl

and you like take birth control. No, no, no.

You birth control. No.

Every. I'm sorry. 99 o'clock is all

virgins. All, all virgins.

They just all Yeah. This is this is the Mormon

service right here. Amen.

Hallelujah. Sorry.

Whoa. This is about to be good today.

Oh, it's about to be good. All right.

Somebody say the fear of God. It is the.

Essential key to a year of awe and wonder It is the essential

key to a year of awe and wonder. The essential key to a year of

what awe and wonder. Ecclesiastes 12 says it this

way. All has.

Been heard the end of the matter is fear God.

Hey, we OK, we didn't preach all kind of sermon series.

At the end of the day, we can simplify this walk.

At the end of the day, you got a bookshelf full of purpose driven

books and how to start your own business and the DIY this and

the book for dummies this and all this stuff.

And at the end of the day, he says keep it simple.

Fear God. Somebody shout out, fear God,

Revere and worship him knowing that he is man you know, but you

you know that boy bad if you could just his He just he is or

his name is I am. You got to know that he is point

period, period, point blank. You got to know he is blank.

I need healing, He is, I need provision, He is.

I need love, He is, I need hope, He is.

I need to understand the church He is, He is everything.

And then he says and keep His commandments.

Why did I underline and highlight such a simple word?

Keep. Because we think keep is all

about obedience. No, no, no, no, no.

Keep His word. You want to know how to fear

God. You know how you show you love

God? How you fear Him is you keep His

word. You don't let nothing or nobody

take it from you or move you or change your mind.

Some convert. Some doctrinal conversations are

pointless and worthless because at some point you are trying to

defend something God revealed to you.

They're trying to convince you about something they read you.

You can't convince someone that don't have eyes that you

standing in front of something they can't see.

And so you have these long debates and long conversation

and you exhausted trying to explain and express something to

a person who don't have the same set of eyes and then some of

you. Love arguing.

Some of you love debating scripture.

If you're debating for proving right sake or intellectual sake,

you are idolizing education. Stop it.

Because a lot of you that want to argue the words struggle

obeying the word. So if the word that you're

willing to argue is so powerful, then obey it.

Hallelujah his commandments. So keep somebody shout out, keep

for this is the whole of man. Oh, you mean I could have

preached this seven years ago? Eight years ago, if I could get

this right here? My whole life would be different

if I could have understood this when I was a teenager, right?

Drinking has an age limit but not obedience, so I don't know

what you young people waiting for to obey God.

You still got to give an account for your disobedience, for this

is the whole of man, the fool here It is original purpose of

yo Crete. Set it down.

Go home. Break down all these orange

chairs. Let's go home.

This is it. Turn off Oprah.

Turn off your favorite YouTube turn.

Burn your whole book. Give all your books.

To the remnant. Pop up shop, close your books,

do this. I can't find my purpose.

Let me go spend $50,000 on education.

I don't know if that's what I'm going to do, but let me just go

spend some money, figure out what I want to do.

Remy Project Rimney project if you don't know what major to

take Rimney project Hallelujah said you got it.

Rimney project for this is the whole of man.

This is the full so this is what go to school students, but you

don't got to get a diploma to figure out what you created to

do. How can I help somebody,

somebody here like, I wish you would have told me that.

Few years back. Yeah, for this is the whole of

man, the full original and the people that's trying to push you

to the purpose they think or would like you to see in they

don't even fear God. So where is that revelation of

who you supposed to be coming from?

But this is This is why I can have peace, Andrew.

This is why I can. This is why if one can have

peace, when you walk into fear the Lord, there's a calm about

your life that everything else is going to work out.

You ready? Can I help some of y'all?

Some of you don't have peace because you don't have

reverence. It's no way to fear God and

don't have peace. Or if you fear God, it's because

you're afraid of God. That's why you don't have peace.

You're afraid of punishment. Look what he say.

The whole of man, it goes on to say, the object of God's

Providence, the root of character, the foundation of all

happiness, the adjustment to all in harmonious circumstances and

conditions under the sun, and the whole duty for every man.

Oh wait a minute, if stuff is not in harmony, fear of God, how

am I going to adjust things in my life?

Obey God, worship God, The foundation of my happiness, fear

of God. So if my foundation of happiness

is a paycheck, promise you you're not going to be happy one

day 'cause you know, you get that little job, you're like,

man, I'm getting paid 1725 an hour.

Woo, it is 1725. Ain't nothing after a while

because you got 1725 and you upgraded your apartment.

So now you now you unhappy because you're happy was on

17/25 you're happy was getting accepted into that college,

you're happy was you got a boyfriend, girlfriend.

Now you're happy. Well, you got a call back for a

gig. Gig over where you're happy.

That's why you keep trying to get another gig because you're

trying to chase. You're not trying to chase

another gig. You're trying to chase the

feeling they're happy. And that's why you can't stay

single too long, because you're trying to chase the feeling.

What it felt like to be in love. Bunnies for for.

For every, for every man, here it is, he says.

Here's here's the duty. It's the whole duty, nothing but

the duty for everyone. What you chasing what?

What business meet you can't wait to have?

Who you can't wait to replace what?

Raise what? What bone is what?

What? Business you can't, just can't

wait to start. Who you waiting to walk back in

your life? So you going to put joy on hold

until you're going to hold your breath until you can't hold your

breath and have peace. Peace comes through healthy

breathing patterns. The fear of God is the

prerequisite to fulfilling the abundant life.

Now talk to you. Hello nearly we quote John 1010.

We exceeding abundantly above all we could ask, think, or

imagine or Daydream about, right devil under our feet.

All these things we quote and and some of y'all like that's

why I don't quote it. You should.

That's how you keep them valves pumping.

So don't cop out on declaration because you don't want to step

up on action. All right, all right, all right,

all right. The prerequisite to fulfilling

the abundant life, right? It's it's, it's, I'm going to

say one more thing about that. It's, it's not, it's not, I

don't want to be a hypocrite. So I won't say it.

No, it's do it so you won't be a hypocrite.

Believe it. So you won't be a hypocrite.

Follow through with it so you won't be a hypocrite.

It's not. Shut your mouth.

That's what the enemy wants you to do.

You shut your mouth. You shut vials down.

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

The fear of God is the lifeline tethering us, tethering me to

the good life. This is what connects me to

promise. We trying to do so.

We trying to tie we. Trying to victory seed our way

to promise. Do you know how silly it is to

sow and disobey here? Here's what I found out.

A pattern of disobedience. God can still get it to you

because He's a good Father, but your pattern of disobedience

will distribute the blessing into places that won't continue

to bring fruit. OK, OK.

All of God's blessing is meant to continue to be a blessing.

Just like a fruit has seed. So you can keep bearing what

fruit? Take 1 plum and 1 plum seed.

Plant it. You get a tree and you get more

plums. And guess what?

Those plums have seeds. And guess what you do with those

seeds? You plant them.

But when you live a life of disobedience, God will still do

what He said He'll do. But but, but, but you will

distribute it into places that will cause you to run dry.

The lifeline tethering me to good life.

The fear of God is the essential key to experiencing the

predestined life. The predestined life.

I don't know about you, but I want to do what He created me to

do. I don't I don't want to do a

form of it. I don't want to do kind of

purpose. I want to do exactly what he

created me to do. And I do believe I serve a God

of specificity. God is not kind of around like

God doesn't do ballpark purpose. God just going to lead me to

kind of around purpose. No, no no, God is very specific

for a man that knows the numbers of hair I got.

He see hair y'all don't see and he knows you can't get enough

haircuts. He knows how many hair follicles

you he knows. So he's a God of detail.

Holy fear keeps us connected to the wisdom and the plans and

life of God. Holy fear keeps us connected to

the wisdom, plans and life of God.

Now I'm just giving you some some little foundation.

Hopefully I can get a little bit into it.

This service, if not for sure, next service.

I got a little curveball. I'm a throw in here today.

I got a subtitle today and but I'm a I'm a hopefully get to it

in a little bit. OK.

If not, then you can listen to it this week.

But Isaiah 33 and there shall be stability.

How many people, if you was honest, you just really want

well, you, you go to work, how many of y'all going to school?

How many of y'all doing everything you doing?

Because you really just want this one thing.

Stability. I got 15 people, right?

Amen. Stability somebody say

stability. And then if you if you sit next

to somebody who did not say stability, look at them and say

you are unstable. Here we go, here we go, here we

go. Bring it back.

Bring it back, flip it and reverse it.

Let's go. And there shall be stability.

Shout out stability in your time.

Say that's my time. What should we experience?

Some of y'all scared to say the word.

Right, right. Look, look, do you think God

wrote this thinking there wouldn't be darkness?

OK, OK, OK. He's like all things considering

the times, the days you shall have stability.

This is like a every generation, no matter when you were born,

where you live, stability is your inheritance.

Here it is, here it is. It says there shall be stability

in your times, there shall be an abundance of salvation in your

times. There shall be an abundance.

An abundance of salvation is not just leading people to the Lord,

that's soul winning. Abundance of salvation is, you

shall see the salvation of the Lord.

What's salvation? Peace.

Yeah. Joy, hope.

That's salvation. Abundance of joy.

Overflowing joy. Wisdom and abundance of wisdom

in your times. I don't know about you, but in

these days I for sure need wisdom or I'm not going to make

it. Well, the beginning of the the

the the fear of God is the beginning of So if you need

wisdom. God, Chaka Khan, come on, what

should you be doing? This is not a time to not obey.

This is not a time to live unlead.

This is not a time to stay in places.

God is trying to lead you out of another day.

This ain't no one more night with the frogs thing.

OK? 90% of y'all is like where frogs

come from in the Bible. OK read it.

Google One night with the frogs. And you'll see either a play or

something that somebody tried to do, or it's in the Bible, OK,

the reverent here it is fear and worship of the Lord is your

treasure. Here it is.

And his the, the fear of God is a treasure.

It is the greatest treasure we can walk in.

And here it is. I love you, Lord, but do you

treasure what he treasures? Because if you treasure what he

treasures, he treasures, Lord, Break my heart for what?

Break yours? Really.

When's the last time your disobedience broke God's heart?

Broke your heart when the last time not giving God the praise

He deserves? Broke your heart when the last

time your lost cousin actually broke your heart?

See here. Here's what I understand.

When you really understand how good God is, it breaks your

heart when others can't experience that kind of love.

He he will be your constant source here it is.

He will be your constant. He will be your constant source

of stability in changing times. He is your constant source of

stability. So no matter what is why it's

dangerous. I ain't focusing on politics and

also what the politics supposed to be unstable.

And if you follow unstable stuff, guess what that make you

unstable. Call it back.

Hallelujah. Look, He will be your constant

source of stability in changing times.

And out of his abundant, out of his abundant, not yours.

Out of his abundant love, He gives you the riches of

salvation, the riches of wisdom, the riches of knowledge.

Yes, the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.

I mean, I don't got to put up a like another nugget, like it's

right there. That's a whole nugget.

The fear of the Lord is the key to this.

What's the treasure? Rich of salvation the riches of

wisdom now do we not talk when you talk about it when you get

in the riches of God's wisdom this ain't do you can't find

this wisdom in a bestseller right You want any people who

think they super smart because they they they they download you

you bought up you buy a lot of books and you.

Right. How many?

Books you actually apply what you read.

So you're just someone who? Accumulates information.

Big old head. Just big old head, right?

Big old head. Salvation, riches of wisdom and

knowledge. See, when you have God's wisdom

and his knowledge, then books that you read, he, he puts his

word on it. So you can read something or

watch a movie and get revelation.

Yeah, some of you get perverted by movies.

Some of you get revelation out of movies.

Hallelujah. All right, we good, we good.

It's kind of heavy. It's kind of heavy, but not

really because it's like he's he's giving me keys on how to

probably everybody this week was trying to find a key to some

type of better experience in life.

Right here. This why I don't care if we need

60 days in a row, we about to do 24 hours of prayer.

Now we do it different. We're not sitting here over

here, but we're going to sit at the altar for 24 hours.

We ain't doing. I'm not doing that.

OK, But there's a flow of reverence.

That's what it is. You come in, you want to go out,

grab a little snack. You want to go in your car and

take a little nap, come back in. We get it.

We're human, we're in this body. But to show up and say I am, I

am going to posture myself in the in the gathering because

it's more about what the gathering says to God more than

what you're doing at the gathering.

Some of y'all won't show up because you like, I can't pray

for 24 hours. Nobody in here can you think

praying is about. Talking for 24 hours.

That's the. Problem.

God don't want to hear from you for 24 hours.

Got to go to sleep it. Hallelujah.

Here it is. The true nature of the fear of

God is US honoring the access to intimacy we have in Jesus.

All right, I'm gonna read that again.

I'm gonna read that again. The true nature of the fear of

God, the nature, the essence, the fabric, the fiber of the

fear of God is my actions and my lifestyle.

Looks like I honor God because of the revelation of the access

that He has given me. The intimacy I have with Jesus.

I understand that was cut off from me.

Why do I obey? Because, God, you didn't have

to, but you did. Why will I seek your face?

Not only because that was supposed to be our natural

habitat if we were supposed to dwell together, but man, God,

even after the first Adam fell, God, you.

Sent a rescue and you saved me from the pit of hell.

And then you. Tell me to come to your throne

room boldly as a child, not a slave.

See, that's why when you some of us come to. 24 hour prayer, like

prayer, is slave work for people.

This is why we don't see prayer, because we see prayer as labor,

not prayer as relationship. Because you know when you see it

as relationship, you can sit at a coffee shop with somebody for

three hours, right? And what are y'all doing?

Talking back and forth, right? You listening, you sitting

still. You ever go out to coffee

sometime and you had a little moment where you stare at each

other? No, we don't stare.

At each other. When we kind of don't know what

to do. We check our phone, right?

You don't get why we come in 24 hours and, you know, last. 24

hour prayer. I went in the studio and

recorded a song. What you what?

What? Guess what?

I guess what I was doing. Guess.

Guess what I was writing? Guess what I was doing?

I was writing down lyrics and communicating and worshiping.

See, you thought that prayer was just.

As soon as you walk. Out the tent.

You, you disobeying God, you are sin because you're not in the

tent. No, I was in the studio, at

church, at the gathering, and guess what I did?

Stepped out and recorded a song, came back in, I prayed.

Went back to my office, guess what I was praying.

Went to the bathroom, guess what I was doing?

I was praying. Prayer is the posture, it's not

always talking. Hallelujah.

Sometimes you need to just come to the prayer just to fall

asleep. Some of y'all gots the sleepy

spirit on you. You just for sure.

But sleeping in his presence is way better than sleeping in some

of the places y'all sleep. Hallelujah.

Amen. So I I will be happy if you come

to to 24 hour prayer and just go to sleep bring a sleeping

sleeping bags are allowed all of that.

OK, some of y'all thinking about it too.

That's totally fine. That's totally fine.

That's totally fine That's totally fine.

That's a step. That's a step that that's what

you get what I'm saying they got they think God don't count the

steps. You think God just after you'll

leap? No, if he's after your step,

Hallelujah. I'm talking to somebody here

today. You think I'm playing?

Come in here, come in here with your sleeping bag.

We're going to find you a little spot, a little spot and go, man,

go to sleep. Go to sleep.

That's what we're going to tell Caleb.

No, I'm just playing. I'm just playing.

It's true. We, we, we are going to do

something a little different. 24 hour prayer, nobody knows this,

but I got I picked 15 people to preach a 15 minute sermon.

I don't know. It's going to probably start at

like 7:00 or 8:00 PM and we're going to have this kind of like

we're going to have the just, we just going to just.

Bow. Just bow.

Just. People going to come up and

we're going to have prayer, we're going to worship, we'll

have different people preaching and you know what I mean?

All right all right, I want to try and get to OK, OK OK y'all

good all right so look at this. This is a very familiar

scripture just put it up I'm not I'm not about to dive into it.

I highlighted some stuff for you A lot of times when I do stuff

like really small, I don't really care if you can see it or

not that's kind of why I put it like that is really for me.

This is for me but the slides in there.

So if you could read it, that's amazing, but this is kind of

just meant to like this says to me just just ski skirt past this

PT just I want you to see this. Maybe you can take a picture and

zoom in on it. It's Proverbs 3 five through 10

TPT. But I want you to understand

this is scripture. We read all the time.

And if you have eyes to see you would see most scripture has the

fear of God in it. That's what he's trying to get

us to all the time. I'm.

Going to bless you on the full moment that you know it all for

wisdom. Uh oh, uh oh, wait.

Wisdom, which you can't have. He is without the what fear of

God comes when you adore? It is say wisdom comes when you

need him. So.

So now you need God to give you some answers, but it's not

coming from a relationship with Him.

It's coming. But although you're asking for a

good thing from God, the wisdom you need is to bail you out of

something He never put you in. So you're not asking wisdom as a

son and daughter who is submitted to His leading.

So when you are led by Him and surrendered to Him as a

lifestyle, the wisdom sounds like when Mary asks how's this

going to happen, the wisdom is OK, I was thrown in this pit.

Now I'm in prison. Lord, he's interpreting dreams

in prison. He's getting the wisdom of God

in a bound place because for a season he was called to bound.

A lot of you want wisdom and strategies in God's plans

because it's like God give me a a strategy for my business

because this business is what's going to bring me happy versus I

can live, live without this business.

But because you've called me to it, you've blessed me and it has

it has entered my life. I brought the value to the

business. The business didn't bring the

value to me. I'm not trying to conjure up

wealth. I'm not trying to get rich.

I'm not trying to. God, I understand if I seek you

all these things, I understand all my needs are met.

I understand that all my supply comes from your supply.

I understand that. But God, I need wisdom because

you've instructed me to do something.

I need wisdom so I can do what you asked me to do.

I don't need wisdom so I can do what I want to do.

For wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion,

Undivided devotion, undivided devotion.

And avoid everything that's wrong from how you talk.

Yeah, I love this. I highlighted in in burnt

orange. Burnt orange for you.

What's that word in burnt orange then?

What does then mean? After you will find the healing

refreshment your body and your spirits long for.

You can't be a nasty attitude person and walk in this this

health God's talking about nasty is in you.

How you going to ask God to? Put health on top of nasty.

That would not be a good father. You want God to put blessing on

top of us all? Kind of stinky.

Stuff and he loves you way more than that.

He's like, I don't care nothing about the the stuff you trying

to cover the mess with. I died for the mess, not the not

the fig fig leaves. I didn't die for the fig leaves.

I died for what's under the fig leaves.

Hallelujah. Salvation and glory.

All right, Stop playing. Glorify God.

Glorify God. Glorify God with all your

wealth, honoring him with your first fruits.

With every increase that comes to you, honor him with it.

How many of y'all been struggling?

How many found yourself struggling when it came to that?

That coat or that pair of shoes and pants you was about to give

for the remnant? Pop up shop.

See, I've got two people. Three people.

Honest, anybody have something that they was that they was just

like, oh, well, if you didn't struggle with it, we don't want

it. Hallelujah.

That's like that's it's like on that's like coming with the

victory seeds. It's like how many people

struggle giving that victory seed?

I ain't struggle at all. None.

What what we talking about something we talking about at

least two or three pieces in the garbage bag.

Got to be something you like. I'm about to buy it.

Back. I'm about to buy this back.

I'm first in line at the pop up shop.

I'm going straight to my section.

Absolutely. I'm going to buy it back.

Hey, you didn't think about that, huh?

You going to buy that thing, man?

Buy it back. Absolutely.

I'm telling you, I got man. I'm Yeah.

Come on. Today.

Not the last day. I'm sorry.

Today. Not the last day.

You're going to bring stuff throughout this week because we

we need it just for the remnant project.

We need it. OK, so it ain't the last day

because some of y'all be like good.

I missed the deadline. Nope.

The the deadline is alive again. OK.

All right. Yeah.

Nope, Nope, Nope. You just made it corny.

You just made it corny. Caleb, You just made it corny.

All right, You guys remember the Scripture?

Help me out. What's Oh, you own it.

I came back to a growing church. Amen.

Hallelujah. Thank you, brother.

Thank you, brother. Thank you.

Thank you. Listen.

So here, here we go. I I I want to.

I want to skim through this. I've read this to you guys, but

I want, I want to read this again.

This is kind of at the core of our foundation of Scripture.

For the fear of God, he said, and the Spirit of the Lord shall

rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the

spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit.

These are all manifestations of the Holy Spirit, the seven

Spirit 7 manifestations of the Holy Spirit, OK of, of knowledge

and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord.

Here's the key. Now, now, now, now, hold on,

hold on. This is things we walk in.

This is what we walk in. OK, OK, we walk in this this

fear of God. It's not a it's not a when

catastrophe happen. It's not a when fires break out.

It's not when when we lose things.

It's it's this is a lifestyle. OK, look and shall make him of

quick understanding, right? Take the duh out of your

understanding right though no quick to understand it right,

How to OK, just keep it in the church house.

We sometime we're just saying practical things from the pulpit

and some of us in here are like right.

We're in a day and age where we can read some of the most

popular scriptures and folks are like.

Because we're not in a generation who pursues God.

We are the generation who. Want to be religious affiliated

because we're in a day where you don't need nothing like great

great great grandmama did, right?

Walking with God kept people. Sick.

Can you imagine getting being in slavery?

Can you imagine in at any level, any race, any ethnicity, any

culture that has experienced oppression under a master's hand

or people who are coming across overseas hiding on boats or

getting to? Can you imagine that level of

mental health? The only thing that's keeping me

sane is worship hymns. But in this generation, we don't

we don't need, we don't really got nothing to need God for

until we're in trouble when all of our success and freedom today

came off to the back of people who didn't have the liberties

you have living here. It is.

It says that that that that that his delight she'll be in he's

delight man. It it can't be a struggle like

God doesn't want your tantrum. You got to obey.

OK, If you say so Kate, take the if you say so out of your

obedience like you ever you ever use those that got kids?

You ever tell your kids to do something they didn't want to do

it. They finally did it.

But now they slamming doors and dumping dishes and making all

kind of clink and clack and clack and.

What do you say? You better calm down, reopen the

door and reclose it. Try that again.

Right? I'm not.

This ain't about just cleaning your room.

I pay for this room. Pay for the clothes in the room,

the furniture in the room, the lights on in the room, the Wi-Fi

in the room, the charger that's in the room, the shoes,

everything I pay for. You got the nerd to slam the

dope because I'm asking you to clean up your mess.

I pay for. It lost your mind.

Sucking your teeth and smacking your lips to God, that got to be

over. You do it in the spirit realm.

I got to go to prayer this week. Dang, hey, man, All right, all

right. Y'all distracted me, all right.

Living with a delight to have and maintain a proper and holy

respect for the power. This is the fear of God.

It is living with a delight to have and maintain a proper and

holy respect, right? You know that respect.

If I smacked my teeth, I got hit in my teeth.

I noticed some of y'all didn't y'all?

I mean y'all know some of y'all is the ones that cussed your

parents out in the grocery store.

I'm just saying I remember 1 little boy I almost smacked him

for his Mama but that I would have went to jail for sure

because I didn't look like his uncle or nothing.

I didn't look like nobody that had a right to.

This boy what did they would not forget what store I was in.

This little boy walked in his mom looked wore out and he was

like I hate you. You get on my having nerves.

I felt like elite, like I tried to trip him like Oh my God,

throw him in the clothes like come on man.

But that's how it is sometimes even in in here.

It's like, man, God's been so good to you and we got to beg

you to worship, beg you to show up on time, beg you to come to

prayer, beg you like man, like I just feel like tripping you.

Like come on, like why we got to beg you and then the world get

all of your allegiance 'cause you get paid for it.

You slave like God, God like, look look, he died for you and

you didn't do nothing for him. He paid your debt.

The fog must be the immovable foundation of our motives and

our actions. The fear of God must be at the

core of our Y. You ready?

First Corinthians 9 says this, but like a boxer, I buff in my

body what I discipline my body. I handle it roughly.

I discipline it by hardships and subdue it for fear.

That's after proclaiming to others the gospel and things

pertaining to it. After coming to church every

week, after fasting, after remnanting, after after victory

seating. I myself should become unfit,

not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a

counterfeit. It's coming, it's coming, it's

coming, it's coming. Boom.

He was doing good. He was doing really good day.

There you go. Rejected as a counterfeit.

You doing all it is. He's like, no, no, no, no, no.

You can't just go through the formalities of Christianity

because one day you will be exposed and you will be shown as

a counterfeit. If you're not doing, if you're

not doing the discipline of covenant, then you will be

exposed one day. And then the witness of a

counterfeit is is bad. And This is why a lot of a lot

of people do believe that there was a Jesus and that area is a

God. But they're trying to

understand, well, what if he is who he say is why you ain't who

you say you are. I believe he is who he say he

is. But if you his ambassador or

something ain't counting up. He got integrity.

You don't. You, you he.

He got faith. You don't.

He the Prince of Peace. You, the Prince of Anxiety.

Come on, write it down. Take a picture.

Your authenticity is a witness. Here we go.

I might be able to get it. I might be.

Yeah. I think I'm going to get more of

my I'm. I'm going to be able to

introduce it to you. And then you're going to have to

get it in the next service or another day.

I know, I I know. I know you love God because you

serve his church. I'm talking to some of y'all.

I know you love God. I'll give that to you.

I know you love God because you serve his church.

OK. I also know you love God.

Because you pursue him in measures, degrees, and at times

you ready for this. But I also know you don't fear

God because under pressure you serve your flesh.

So cool if if if you serving the church is a sign you love God, I

believe you. Because you pursue them

sometimes I believe you, you got a Bible.

I believe you. There's some menu that that

that's like I love God, right. There's a lot of men and women

who love their spouse, but they beat them.

So to a measure you love. I know my kids love me.

But when they don't listen, that that shows that there's only a

degree. And their lack of where the

distance the distance is, is their revelation of who I am in

their lives. I believe you love me, son.

I believe you love me, daughter. But that's why you.

It's not until your kids get older they say man, thank you.

Because now they have revelation through having to be a parent.

And that's why many people don't want to make disciples because

they're going to have to feel a little bit of what it feels like

to walk in Jesus shoes or sandals.

Hallelujah. All right, for the sake of, of,

of at least getting this, this, this Class A little ahead of

time. You should take a picture.

Next screen, Dave. Boom, there you go.

Take a picture. This just tells you a little bit

further. A person with the fog or living

the fog. OK, 10 seconds.

And then we going go to the next one.

And then I'm just going to jump in with my subtitle.

And then next service we going to jump all into this thing.

OK, now I just want to come back.

I've been away. I just want to come back and lay

down a little little fog foundation.

OK, I know EJB isn't doing an amazing job.

I want to come in and try and continue to build next one day,

boom day. That's that's it.

Boom day. Right day.

OK, that's your new name. Boom day.

Amen, I'm just happy to be home. Amen.

Thank you, Sir. All right, so today's subtitle

title is should have, could have Woulda OK, it should have, could

have Woulda and and I'm about to I think I'm a hit a back door.

I just want to come come. I wanted I wanted to.

I'm only going to be able to get a little bit because I got to

let you guys go. I kind of wanted to take another

angle to just look at the fear of God, some some pretty

familiar scriptures, but should have could have Woulda right.

I want to give you a different perspective.

There's a lot of things I should have done, I could have done,

and I would have done. OK, let's jump into this really

quickly and then we go, OK, Beware of the side effects of

glory. You may have remembered that

when I've said that previously, but beware of the side effects

of glory, right? Glory sounds good until you got

to carry it, OK? What comes with glory is

pressures, temptations, and here it is exposed bondage.

When glory shows up, when revival shows up, you actually,

you actually sometimes get a glimpse of some stuff you

thought you was over. You know why you thought you was

over it? Because you hadn't had to carry

something for a season. Now you got to carry something

that you feel that little Ouch in your ankle.

You like, Oh my God, I haven't had to put that much weight on

my ankle. But now all of a sudden I'm

trying to jump off of it. I feel a little crack.

Right weight exposes it here. Here it is.

And correct me if I'm wrong, when you apply weight to

something, your body gives you feedback.

It's a lot of times when we're crying out for revival and glory

and breakthrough, God gives it to us because He knows not

you're going to be blessed. You're going to be more blessed

by being exposed because I'm about to bring something in your

life that actually is about to apply some weight to your life

and expose some areas of your life.

So beware of the side effects. Here we go.

Somebody say shoulda, coulda woulda.

A little louder say shoulda coulda woulda.

Here we go. Genesis 39 But the Lord was with

Joseph and and he though a slave, who is he?

Though a Joseph, he though a what?

Slave. Somebody, say slave was a

successful and prosperous man, though in a season of bondage he

was successful and prosperous. The favor of God was on him

while in bondage. Divine slavery.

When I'm somewhere that I don't want to be, but God thinks I

need to be. It's not bondage to God though,

it's bondage to you, and he understands.

For some of you, this bondage is a holding pattern where it's

just like how long I got to wait God.

And you didn't even know that you could be successful and

prosperous while waiting. And he was in the house.

Here it is. And and he was in the House of

his master, the Egyptian. And his master what?

Saul? Somebody shout out Saul.

Saul, we should see the glory of the Lord.

Here it is. I want you to see this.

People that don't follow the Lord should see it that the Lord

was with him, and that the Lord, they saw, he saw that the Lord

was with him. He was a different slave.

Are you going to handle pressure like everybody?

Are you going to go through waiting like everybody or you

going to be a different waiter? The Lord made all that he did to

flourish. The Lord made all that he did to

flourish. We we'll shout about this part,

we'll shout about this part, but we're about to get to the key of

what caused him to flourish though in bondage.

Or was he really in bondage? Or was he in a circumstance of

bondage? Paul and Silas, though in

prison, was still free. Don't.

Don't allow the prison around you to become the prison within

you. The Lord made all that he did to

flourish. God needed him in the pit.

God needed him in the palace. God, you can't just think.

God wants you in the palace but not the prison.

The Lord made all that He did to flourish and succeed in His

hands. From the moment Potiphar

appointed Joseph over his household, Yahweh blessed the

Egyptians. See, here's what I'm saying.

You, hey, hey, hey, hey, you befriend me.

I don't care if you know the Lord or not, because you have

befriended me and because you see what's on my life and you

honor what's on my life, you get some benefits.

He blessed the Egyptians affairs for Joseph's sake.

See, this is how important obedience is.

Because those prayers you pray in for your brother, your

sister, your Mama, your daddy, your children.

This is why it's important for you to walk into things God's

asked you to walk in. Because sometimes they won't

come out of their situation because they're obedient.

Sometimes they will come out of their situation because you're

obedient. Because you're obedient.

I'm gonna Can I bless somebody? The blessing of Yahweh was upon

everything. Everything.

Pot of her own. Joseph didn't have the burden of

ownership, but he enjoyed the pleasure of favor.

And we're such a culture that I got to own, own, own, own, own.

What have you walked in the wisdom of God?

Because some stuff you don't want the responsibility of

ownership, but I just need the keys to it.

Just put me in charge. You can own it.

You can handle the paperwork. Just put me in charge of it.

That that is that is a higher level.

I'm gay. That's a higher level.

His crops flourished and his flocks and herds multiplied.

So we see increase because of Joseph flourished because of

Joseph multiplied, because of we're not talking about Joseph

increase, we're not talking about Joseph flourish, we're not

talking about Joseph multiplied. Joseph is a slave, but because

this slave is in his house, he's prospering from a favorite

slave. So Potiphar plays all that he

owned under Joseph oversight. He like, let me just give you

some more and with Joseph in charge, see, I want I want to I

just want he said subdue. He said have dominion.

He said steward manage like his ownership.

You'll only go, what if God wants to bring you in some

places where you brought wisdom and you got just as much wealth

from advice? I don't know.

I don't need no paperwork for advice sometime from signing

contract or something, but you get what I'm saying.

Potiphar had nothing to worry about except deciding on what to

eat. Here we go.

Now, Joseph was strikingly handsome, very good looking and

well built. How many people would just say

you say he talking about me? That's me in the Bible.

Come on he come on, come on, He talking about me.

He's strikingly handsome, very good looking and well built.

See, we can't ignore why God will put this.

This is not God being carnal. This is not God.

God is pointing out all He's blessed with and how what He's

blessed with is not driving him. He's favored, he's strong, he

looks good, he has wisdom. What he follows the Lord.

It wasn't long before his master's wife noticed Joseph.

OK, I've seen many gladiators, but not this kind.

Here it is. Y'all distracted me.

Come on. It wasn't long before the Master

noticed the Masters. Right?

Here it is. Beware of the side effects of

glory. See, you want to be wealthy, but

you have not. You want that job, but you have

not dealt with your lust issue. And so you like God rush me into

prosperity and God's like, no rush you into purity, right?

You struggle with porn, you get a lot of money.

You're just going to get a bigger screen.

Hallelujah. Some of y'all put your head

down. Amen.

Praying for you. It wasn't long before his

master's wife noticed Joseph. She demanded.

She demanded. She demanded.

Come Make Love to me. No, no, no, the the boom day go

back like. He like, let's get off this page

real quick. Let's get off this page.

He like boom boom. He like boom, Yeah.

Look, come Make Love to me. That this woman is now I I find

it hard to believe that all of a sudden Joseph activated the

harlot in her. She she she she probably she

came across this. This ain't her first time, OK?

This ain't her first time. Like, how's she just walk in the

crib? Just like, come Make Love to me.

Now. I want you to look at the

language though. Because she married.

Be a lot of y'all putting love on stuff that ain't love.

You horny like and you like PT why you keep why you always talk

to me because. I I I don't because of the

function of the Lord. I know what's in the room.

You like PT Everybody holy in here?

Yeah, in Jesus name. He demanded.

Make Love to me. Look at Joseph's response.

Never. He didn't say how.

What if we get caught? Where if we go right and it

doesn't look like Joseph was like no, no, no, see, and this

is this is where Eve got injured to Adam you you, you, you having

conversation. You haven't you you some stuff

don't deserve investigation. Starve your investigation.

Never. He probably closed his eye.

Never. This is this is a bark bark egg

day. This is he was he was a soldier.

He was. He was big and strong and never.

You got to sometimes yell at your flesh like that.

He wasn't talking to her. He was talking to his flesh.

Never. Joseph, see as I'm saying you,

you, you, you. You don't even engage with the

devil. You tell.

You got yo. You got to tell yourself never,

Joseph replied. Don't you realize that my master

has nothing to worry about with me in charge, for he has put

everything he has under my care. There is no one greater in his

household to me. I need y'all to hear the slaves

conversation. This slave says there's no one

better than me in this house. No one great, no one has.

I'm a slave, but I know no one has is greater than me in this

house. I'm not the only slave on this

property, but I'm the greatest slave on this property.

Nor has he kept anything back from me.

Except you sound like that. That garden, just this one tree.

Don't. Just don't touch that bro.

You can. You can be in charge of all

this. Just don't touch.

Just don't. For some of y'all, it's just one

thing that keeps on grabbing your attention, One thing that

really anchors your worry. One thing.

Why would I want to do such an immoral thing and sin against

God? Here it is.

He did not say sin against Potiphar.

Everything he touched prospered and everything he did was

successful. Why Coulda kept you in the wrong

time, Woulda? Some of you guys don't

understand that some of you are in here.

God told me to tell you that some of you are where you are

simply because you should have. He know you should have.

He know you could have. He know you would have.

But you didn't. Some of you are here.

Because there was a day. You said never and some of you

are so focused on the days you said.

Come on, let's do it. And not understanding that the

one never was all God was looking for.

You could have had 1000. Let's do it.

That one never has generational impact.

Come on, somebody shout out. Never.

Well, we we going to pick up right there where we left off

next service because there's more to read.

Did she set him up? There's backlash for obedience.

So you can't just be like, I obey you better.

You better duck. Carrying the glory of God is no

joke, but there's no other place I'd rather be, and there's

nothing else I'd rather carry. If you walk in the favor of the

Lord, you walk in the fear of the Lord.

I don't care what may come in your life, you will always be

prosperous. And we're going to get into that

in the next. We're going to look at a couple

situations in the Bible. We're going to look.

We're going to look at Jesus. Peter slice a man ear off.

Jesus said. Bro it's crazy his response was.

I have to drink this. Cup and Jesus like I feel you I

I I should have cut it off. I understand why you did certain

things. Here's what I want to tell you.

God understands why you gave in when you gave in, but he's

saying the way I made you and for what I made you for.

I can only take you as what I made you for to stop being

caught up on what you should have did could have did what it

did. Stop being bound by because you

think certain things in certain ways.

But man if you have a never if you, if you, if you just if you

was at the strength to deny anything this this past week

man, celebrate the one never. Because one never leads to more

nevers and before you know it your walk in a life of

discipline and you will see the blessing of the Lord on your

life manifest. But you can't have 3 nevers

until you have one. So celebrate your never some.

One day this week some of y'all was going to eat that cupcake

and you was like never. And it's because you didn't

celebrate the one never. A week later, you ate it because

you didn't celebrate the one. You didn't allow your never to

empower you. Father, we thank you.

We thank you that the spirit of the fear of God will live in

this house. So we say fog rest in this place

and we'll forever give you the glory in Jesus name, Amen.

Give God a hand. If you received anything, thank

you, appreciate it. Somebody just shout out never

one more time. We're going to have fun next

experience. We're going to have fun.

Next experience. All right, Really quick.

Really quick. Somebody say pop up shop, please

continue to bring clothes throughout the week.

Don't drop off clothes and not stay for prayer.

But if you go drop off clothes and leave for prayer, you can do

that too. Amen.

Whatever. But I'm encouraging you to drop

off clothes and drop yourself off right in here.

OK. The pop up shop will be a fun

experience On where? Where?

Where do we go? Where do we go?

Where do we go? Yeah, February 1st and 2nd, a

Saturday and a Sunday, it will be next door.

OK, We already got a bunch of clothes and purses and jewelry

and all that stuff coming and we're asking you guys to to

come. You're looking for ways to give

to the Remnant project. Well, 100% of all proceeds from

the pop up shop will go immediately into the Remnant

project. Cool.

It will be from 11:00 to 3:00 on February 2nd, 1:00 to 6:00

February 1st OK, then week of revival starts on Tuesday, not

tomorrow. We're asking everybody to come

out. What's going to be different

about the last 14 days and the next 7?

Is we going to be intentional? Tuesday night, opening night, we

got Pastor Oscar from Good News Chapel and he's a fire.

He he got revival in him and so he's coming out.

Then I'll be sharing and EJ be sharing.

Then Saturday we'll have 15 people sharing.

But Friday night, listen, it's going to be prayer and we are

going to go pack out the gym for love quest semi final basketball

game. OK, now look, we we play, you

know, we play the Blue Devils. So I asked him if we can bring

drums. No, well, he said no because

it's still an issue in the neighborhood.

But he said we can bring the clappers, you know, the

clappers, you know, they're titting in in those days.

So if y'all can go, can somebody find some, some clappers, some

that you know, y'all know what I'm talking about?

It's a little hand in it. OK Anyways, man, Hallelujah.

So next Friday we going to all come here, get charged up in

prayer and worship and then we going to stop immediately at

8:00. O'clock.

The latest OK, and then we're going to head over to the game.

If we all show up on time, what I can promise you on Friday, we

will get we we will start at 6:30 and be done at 7:30 so you

can have time to go eat and then show up full of energy.

And I really we need to act a fool.

We need to act a fool, OK? We need to act a holy, a holy

mess. Say, man, all right, I did that

right after our 1130 experience, we'll be meeting with those that

have said I want to help with our youth ministry and our SSK

ministry and we'll just check in for 30 minutes.

It could be 15 unless you have questions and that'll be after

next experience and then OK, this is very important.

Anybody in here consider themselves a creative?

Raise your hand. Raise your hand.

Now there's more creatives. NT doesn't have his hand up and

he he has cameras and he dances. He does all kinds of stuff.

Somebody held NT here. Please, how many people in here?

Consider themselves a creative If you are a barista, you are a

creative if you pay. I didn't say do you make money

off your art. I said are you a creative?

OK. Put your hands down.

Stop the music. The.

Creative is a prophetic instrument for the last days.

So maybe you don't make money for your creativity, but you are

called to use your creativity. And we are going to launch our

collaborate experience as well as our kings and priests.

But I want to pour into you creatives and I want to share

some vision with you guys. And that will be the after

party. That will be our Renaissance

experience, the revival of Kingdom art and its artists.

That will be. On February 2nd at 6:00 PM,

right in this room, we're going to have some improv stuff, we'll

have some some live music, we'll have some food, and then I will

share some vision for 2025 with all creators.

If you know creatives, get in the room.

I don't care if you use a little Polaroid camera.

I don't care what you use. Stop cancelling yourself out.

OK, so I need all creatives on this day.

Stand to your feet. There is no in person gathering

tomorrow, but there is prayer on the phone.

OK, It's still a part of prayer. OK, so men, 8:00 PM ladies, 8:30

PM. All right, it's too much.

I don't like announcements. Y'all need to follow social

media and all that stuff because I don't like this.

I went to let me be quiet. I can't say it because we

streaming. Amen.

Hallelujah. That's the spirit of the Lord

right there. Hallelujah.

All right, put your hand on your neighbor's shoulder.

Say we streaming so don't touch me father in the name of Jesus,

we just thank you for this is the day that you've made we

rejoice and be glad in it. Hallelujah.

Although that's true. I just felt like I said that

because I didn't have nothing else to say.

You know, we just feel we say filler stuff sometime.

This is the day, but Hallelujah still is true.

Hallelujah Father, we just bless you in the name of Jesus.

We thank you Father, that people are Your children are getting
