-
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.
-
Hallelujah. Sound like we got some hungry
-
people in here. Come on, can the hungry and
-
thirsty people make some noise for?
-
Jesus, Amen, if you can be seated.
-
In the presence of a mighty king.
-
Happy New Year. All right, I'm going to say it
-
one more time and give give a few other people a chance to say
-
it back. Happy New Year.
-
Amen. Look to the person next to you
-
and say this year don't play with me because I am a changed
-
person. Come on, look at somebody else
-
say God is really doing some things in my life and I can't
-
afford for you to mess them up. So if.
-
You going to? Sit next to me this year.
-
Come on, you're going to have to act, right?
-
Amen. Come on, give your neighbor a
-
hand for showing up. Amen.
-
I know, I know there's some folks like why we clap so much,
-
why we shout so much, why y'all so excited?
-
And then I'm going to ask you why you don't clap so much, why
-
you not excited, why you so grumpy face and why you come
-
Hallelujah. I just like to tell people man,
-
I I shout because I actually worship a a God that's alive.
-
I'm sorry if yours is dead, but Mines is alive.
-
I also secondly serve a God who defeated the grave.
-
So if yours is still dead, Mines is not.
-
So I I can't, I can't have a resurrected king in me and, and
-
and and be stuck at the cross, right?
-
The cross was the door that led me into this freedom and into
-
this life. And more than that, it isn't
-
just the resurrected king lives in me, though same spirit that
-
raised Jesus from the dead lives in me.
-
So let me tell my question to you is how do you contain the
-
spirit that resurrected Jesus? How, how, how are you that maybe
-
I need to maybe you should be my Lord.
-
Maybe how are you that strong to keep the resurrected king down
-
right, 100% of you holler back at me and say you're not talking
-
about me today. All right, all right, all right,
-
all right back down. Look so this morning, so I want
-
to first of all apologize. It's not like a real apology.
-
It's just kind of like just like just saying apologize for if you
-
had to circle the block a few times.
-
I understand it's a dangerous community and some of you might
-
have just was about to pass on church because it was a little
-
late. This first service was a little
-
late. I'm, I'm going to let you know
-
there, there might be a few more of those this year that are
-
going to happen. And what I encourage you to do
-
is park somewhere and just run into church because something's
-
happening. I will tell you that this
-
church, you're not going to put on a stopwatch.
-
You're not going to be able to predict at what time your
-
favorite part is happening. Holy Spirit really runs our
-
service and we try to be careful, telling him to chill
-
out, back up, be quiet, leave us alone.
-
We try to chill on that. But what I can say is.
-
The the the. Word says like the The point of
-
the word is that. Then the Lord confirms it with
-
signs and wonders. Those signs and wonders are
-
happening through people experiencing, in experiencing
-
the touch of God on the inside. So once we've preached the word,
-
the whole point of preaching the Word is to introduce people to
-
Jesus. And so when Jesus is sitting on
-
somebody's lap and and massaging their brokenness and speaking
-
life into them, you tell me, where do I have the place to
-
interrupt a moment when the Father has finally got a moment
-
with his child? OK, not this church.
-
So anytime you can circle and go home, you can get up and leave
-
if you don't want to partake in other people's breakthrough.
-
OK, so I want to apologize and say if it inconvenience you in
-
any way that you have to circle walk or wait or we started
-
later. The reason we started later is
-
because our team had to turn around some things.
-
So there will be those moments sometime.
-
Unfortunately, it's just the way it is.
-
Not even just because the Lord is moving, just practically, we
-
don't necessarily have this humongous parking lot where, you
-
know, overflow can come in while overflow is happening, right?
-
And so I'm going to read a couple things.
-
I'm going to read some powerful words that was read this
-
morning. I didn't even get to the
-
message. I was stuck in my in these
-
notes, but it was some stuff that God had gave me for you
-
guys that was kind of unfinished on New Year's Eve.
-
And so I'm glad he didn't have me read them because we finished
-
them and then it was just kind of a release for 2025.
-
Please go listen to them because the way I'm about to read it to
-
you is probably going to be cold.
-
But it was it's some sauce on it.
-
And that's why you have to circle the block on a couple of
-
times because the word is actually has penetrated people's
-
souls and spirits. And, but I do want to just throw
-
them out there. If you could write quick or
-
whatever, If not, totally fine. But just know there's more to
-
what I am about to give to you. But I do want to read them.
-
And then we'll get into this year's word.
-
Judgment starts in the House of God.
-
I know a lot of times we are hurt.
-
We want God to judge the world like get him God and he's like
-
no like when you look at Jesus's walk, the people he was most
-
ticked at and most correcting and rebuking.
-
It was us, the folks that that are called know better.
-
We sitting up in church. Playing church?
-
He's turning tables over in the temple, right?
-
Judgment starts in the house. So if you want the world to look
-
better, you start looking better.
-
You want people to know Jesus, start start being a witness for
-
Jesus. You want people to be clear
-
about who the Savior is, then you act like he has impacted
-
your life beyond your words. OK, so just starts in the house.
-
And then I began to talk about these seven areas of of when we
-
walk in God's house, I can guarantee over 90% of the people
-
do not understand what I am about to tell you.
-
That's not because something's wrong with you.
-
It's because you maybe never heard it or was aware of it.
-
But when we gather here together, we worship in an
-
unseen place. We are joining a group of people
-
who are already in worship with God.
-
There is a heavenly host, there is a cloud of witnesses, and
-
there are people surrounding the throne of God, angels, Saints.
-
There's a cloud of witness. And when we come in our little
-
space, we are joining a parade that has been going on for
-
eternity. So when you walk in here with
-
your nose up, understand you are entering in somebody else's
-
party and you got a privilege to be a part of it.
-
See, you got to understand it because the party you joining,
-
that's where your help comes from.
-
So you also receive unseen assistance in your worship as we
-
are worshipping in this room and you see screams, man, there's so
-
there's so much more word that's in this room that's not on this
-
screen. There's so much more help beyond
-
my voice. There's so much more strength
-
beyond the worship team playing in this room.
-
There is unseen assistance ready there in the Bible puts it this
-
way, the angels hearken to the word of God.
-
In other words, when God's Word is spoken, it dispatches his
-
angels. OK.
-
OK. You assemble as part of an
-
unseen congregation, like we're on earth as it is in heaven.
-
I just want to get caught up in how many people look.
-
Let me tell you something. You can look at 30 or 40 or 50
-
unfilled seats, or you can look into the unseen realm.
-
If you got eyes to see and there's hundreds of thousands if
-
not millions of Saints in the room, God shut your mouth.
-
So I'm not worshipping for you. I'm just trying to invite you to
-
something that's happening in eternity.
-
Look at your neighbors, say you can miss out if you want to.
-
First of all, hold on some of y'all look at your neighbor and
-
say you know I'm not scared of you, OK?
-
I say I'm going to talk to you. I'm going to talk to you.
-
Shouldn't have never sat next to me because I'm going to talk to
-
you. Hallelujah.
-
Some of y'all apologizing like I'm just saying what he's
-
saying. I'm just saying what he told me
-
to say. Look, you stand here before
-
before God, the unseen judge. Just real quickly.
-
Some of us who think we hiding from people.
-
You can hide from us, but you can't hide from God.
-
He's everywhere. You're not you're not hot.
-
You're you're never you're never not seen.
-
So what you did last night, God saw it.
-
Are you more concerned about us seeing it or God saying see?
-
But if I don't see me being seen, then to me I ain't seen.
-
You see how you manipulated yourself and you say.
-
You love yourself, but you're going to manipulate yourself.
-
You're going to deceive yourself into thinking you ain't seen.
-
Oh my God, stupid. Just kidding, just kidding, all
-
right, but you, you have unseen contact with a cloud of
-
witnesses, man, when I'm in here, just man, man, do you know
-
who else is up? You know who else is dancing?
-
You see y'all? Y'all may not notice though but
-
man my. My grandma, my my, my pastor,
-
that race man, there's so many people if you've lost loved
-
ones, you didn't lose them. You the only way someone's lost
-
if you don't know where they. Are.
-
I know it's somebody, somebody can witness it.
-
I know where my grandma at. I I know where my family.
-
I know where my friends. I don't know where some some of
-
my friends I don't know. I don't know if they they made
-
it. And that's the.
-
Reality you got to understand you can't hope nobody in the
-
heaven. Truth of the matter is you got
-
family and friends who never received Jesus.
-
Sorry, now what I do know is in the last moment there are some
-
conversations people have with God on their deathbed that we
-
don't know about. So we can hope that they had
-
that moment and God can do whatever he want to do with some
-
of y'all watching your friends and coworkers go to hell.
-
Lord save my friend. He's like that's why I put you
-
to put you. That's why I brought you to that
-
job. Not for a paycheck, but I got a
-
son or daughter on your job that I need to hear the gospel.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. We're moving right along, moving
-
right along and then and then and then you have been
-
consecrated for unseen service in heavenly Jerusalem.
-
You will in this year there is this is a year of great release.
-
You will be spit out of the spin cycles of despair.
-
What do I mean? There was a time where the
-
whale. Had.
-
To spit Jonah out I am telling you whatever you have been in in
-
your life, you are God's child and it has to let you go.
-
Is is there four people in here that receive that for
-
themselves? OK, OK, I just need 4 on my
-
squad and if that if that number can increase holla back at me
-
because I'm scared right now because some folks looking at me
-
like OK you don't know you are about to be spit out of this.
-
The worst thing is you get spit out the well and don't want to
-
swim. You're just like what we doing.
-
God put me back in the well. No, no, no, no, no, Hallelujah.
-
OK. Your freedom is not ignoring
-
your issue. You don't find freedom in
-
ignoring the facts. And it's not merely leaving it
-
at the altar. A part of leaving it on the
-
altar. Is facing it with God because
-
Jesus is the altar. Some of y'all think because you
-
came and got prayer at the altar and you're wondering why you go
-
home and it's still with you. What happened at the altar with
-
the touch and the prayer is faith is the substance things
-
hoped for and evidence are not seen.
-
What happened was is the power and the reality by faith was
-
released into your life. Now you got to walk out these
-
tents and you have to then go act like you healed, and acting
-
like I'm healed is not. It's not ignoring I'm sick, but
-
I'm going to push the boundaries and the limitations of what is
-
holding me until what God promised shows up.
-
OK, this is the year. Of a great prison break.
-
There's a lot of people that are going to break free in the
-
church and outside the church, but his church needs to get
-
ready to receive the harvest of the free.
-
You have to come out. Jesus and his army is here and
-
now. Every chain is being broken,
-
every lock is being popped, every noose is being snapped.
-
Tell hell it's a wrap. I'm not taking it no more.
-
I can't stand here and watch me go down the way it went down in
-
2024. It's not the way it's about to
-
go up in 2025. Coming to church is not my New
-
Year's resolution. It is my New Year's solution.
-
I'm not playing around with my life or with you.
-
This is my time. This is my year.
-
I've overcome too much. I've wiped too wiped too many
-
tears. I've endured too much pain.
-
I fought off the spirit of death for too long.
-
I've been waiting for this year to come.
-
And this is the year and I'm stepping in it.
-
This year is my year and time of manifested transformation.
-
This is not the year I declare my change.
-
This is the year I see my change.
-
I'm talking to a few more people.
-
This is the year I will see. Favor in my home, in my family,
-
this is the. Year for favor in the
-
marketplace for all you entrepreneurs and and pioneers
-
this is the year of favor over my finances and over my jobs and
-
my career this is the. Year God will anoint talents
-
that have been on your shelf. Yeah, you got to go see what I
-
talked about, about this word right here.
-
I've elaborated on everything I'm saying, and I can't do it
-
right now. This is the year of great
-
wonder. This is the.
-
Year of monumental moments and generational momentum What God
-
is going to do this year is a momentum to carry you into the
-
next 5 to 10 generations. This is your wholeness is
-
restored. This is the year for some of you
-
of exceptional productivity. You're going to do more this
-
year with greater efficiency and you're going to get more done
-
here, here, Here's the here's the icing on the cake, and
-
you're going to be less stressed getting more.
-
Done. Now, now I want you to say some
-
may say, well, well, can you read me some scripture?
-
This is all scripture. You need to read scripture,
-
right? Because then you would know I'm
-
reading scripture. You would know these are
-
promises in the Bible. That's here.
-
Here it maybe it's not yours, but it's mines.
-
OK, so you read the words. So when I'm not putting up a
-
point up there, you don't think I'm not reading the Bible?
-
OK, I am reading the Bible prophetically.
-
So you got to catch it. You cannot intellectualize this
-
word because it's a prophetic release.
-
So you have to have your prophetic hearing aid on.
-
Hallelujah. OK, that was the teacher.
-
Now I'm about to get back in the prophetic zone right now.
-
OK, OK. People will run with vision for
-
for all my leaders who have employees who have help around
-
them, who have friends who's looking to start businesses and,
-
and, and believers that are leaders and things of that
-
nature. People will run with the vision
-
without a need to compel them. I don't know, but maybe I'm the
-
only leader in here who have had to beg people to help or beg
-
people to come to church or beg people to give.
-
It's always a compel. Let everything that has breath
-
praise the Lord woo like there there's going to be a wave where
-
I'm where I'm I'm going to be able to walk out here and I
-
don't have to you. You guys are compelling each
-
other through your praise. The worship team don't got to
-
tell you what to do. There's going to be.
-
We're stepping into a time where people are going to run with the
-
vision that you have been sharing without you having to
-
kill yourself to get people forward.
-
This is the year of the Shekinah glory.
-
For those that don't know what that is, that is the manifested
-
presence of God. OK, but also this is the year
-
God's turning some tables. This is the year of greater
-
anointing, greater exploits. And I didn't say this in the
-
earlier experience, but we will see the the the gift of faith
-
increased in the body of Christ. If you want to know what the
-
gift of faith is, go, go purchase the book after service
-
that your boy put together and take the crown class and you
-
understand what the gift of faith is.
-
But that's in the Bible too. Visitations of the glory of God
-
that is going to send people running with questions and his
-
church better have answers. They're coming to interrupt you
-
and your schedules because it's not just your time.
-
What is their time? OK, God is restoring order in
-
every area. You want wholeness this year,
-
it's yours. But.
-
Every word that I just. Released to you and there's
-
more, but you don't have to go listen or watch.
-
Every word that I release to you requires positioning.
-
I'm sorry, but you can't stay the same but get the new you.
-
You can't think the same. You can't have the same nasty
-
attitude. You can't be easily offended.
-
You can't have spotty church attendance.
-
You can't not want to give. You can't.
-
Keep some of the same. Friends and think you're going
-
to walk in this greater. I'm here to tell you this, this
-
this afternoon it's yours. But some change is required, and
-
there's more change for some than it is.
-
Others. But everything that God is
-
saying to you, it's yours. Got to hear it.
-
It's done. It's awaiting you, but you have
-
to be willing to live a life of obedience.
-
If you were not here for the New Year's Eve message when we
-
released the word for the year, here it is. 2025 is the year of
-
the fear of God. Every single year and all over
-
the place, we get a word for the year that's about us.
-
It's the year increase this the year overflow this the year of
-
abundance this the year of elevation this the year and we
-
shout about it. But then here's the key to
-
everything God has for you every if every, every, every, every.
-
Can you go back to the other slide because we didn't go there
-
yet. You did not hear fall.
-
Come out my mouth yet not. Amen.
-
Press, press down, shaken together.
-
Wherever that came out. My spirit.
-
Amen. Did you listen?
-
What was I saying? They they didn't got me
-
distracted. What was I saying?
-
Forget it all. From from Genesis to Revelation
-
you see the spirit of the fear of God.
-
Even if in the. Scripture.
-
It ain't the spirit of fear of God.
-
Abraham went to sacrifice his son.
-
Only way he's going to sacrifice his son is because he has the
-
reverence of God. Noah would not have abandoned
-
friends or Co workers or community and built the ark
-
unless he Revere God. The fear of God is everything.
-
When you see Jesus, everything he did, he said it's to bring my
-
father. What glory.
-
And I'm telling you the key to your success in this life is the
-
fear of God. You can't do it these last days.
-
You will not make it without the fear of God.
-
And it's crazy how we got the the clothing line is blowing up
-
in it, but the church ain't. You go buy, you go spend $150.00
-
for a T-shirt, they'll say the fear of God on it.
-
How many people got the fear of God gear and don't fear God?
-
You phony for real. You fake you wearing the fear of
-
God for cultural relevance, but it ain't in your heart.
-
So you didn't hopped on this counterfeit train.
-
As a believer, I didn't see the fear of God in your life till I
-
saw your sweater. I'm I'm so serious right now,
-
you guys, because some of the struggles the world is having is
-
because it's some of the struggles the church has
-
happened. Some of the family members you
-
got that struggling is because you don't fear God.
-
They see you go to church because you love God and you
-
need God, but you don't fear God.
-
They don't see you walking holy if they push you, but they see
-
they they hear your mouth at family functions.
-
They see how much you gossip, they see how much you complain.
-
You don't fear God. When you fear God.
-
No one has to beg you to obey God.
-
No one has to ask you to serve. No one has to ask you to give.
-
No one has to ask you to lift your hands up.
-
I'm not asking you to lift your hands up because it's my thing.
-
We did in America and God asked me to transport lifting hands to
-
Canada. Lifting your hands is in the
-
Bible. The Bible is noisy.
-
Symbols are in the Bible, horns, trumpets in the Bible, walls
-
came down because someone shouted.
-
And it is almost like anybody asks you to do anything
-
biblical. You turn it to that ain't me, I
-
know it ain't you. It's Bible.
-
God didn't have obedience is not you doing you, the obedience is
-
you doing Bible. Nobody really up in here because
-
of us. We all up in here because God
-
said come, right. But we're at a time in life
-
where, where, where the world our light is at jeopardy.
-
It's time to take the lampshade off.
-
And when we understand the fear of God, it's the key to the
-
beginning of wisdom. The beginning.
-
What does the beginning mean? The start, it means it's at the
-
beginning of wisdom is what the fear meaning.
-
If I don't fear God, there's some wisdom that I ain't even
-
tapped into. So what have I been making
-
decisions off of? How did people be so successful
-
when there wasn't YouTube, when there wasn't social media, when
-
there wasn't cameras, when there wasn't phones, when they just
-
had a donkey and a camel and they had some other stuff?
-
How did they hear God? How did they walk with God?
-
How did they? How did it get to here?
-
How did it get BC to AC? And we are in a generation where
-
the movement of walking with God is stopping.
-
You want to hear from God, but you don't want to walk with
-
them. And if you walk with him, you
-
can hear him, 'cause you, He says, my sheep, my children,
-
they know my voice, which lets me know you.
-
If you're truly following him, you never not know when he
-
starts. He says, my true children know
-
my voice. I don't care.
-
You a parent, your kid get a little, little ways from you.
-
Look, look, even as the shepherd of this house, I could be in my
-
office and there are certain people in here, man, if they
-
laugh, if they talk and they out here, I know exactly.
-
Who it is that's special to me to be able to not see your face.
-
But because we do life together, and because God has knitted us
-
together, I know you by your voice.
-
You could be out here talking to 30 people.
-
I know who laughing, I know who talking, I know even if you'd
-
acquired her one in the group, because there's I know your.
-
Voice. The Father knows that I know.
-
I don't know how many hairs you got on your head, but God does.
-
But here's the thing, why are you struggling to hear it?
-
Tell me the last time you know you heard from God.
-
Tell me and you know it was God. Tell me the last time I'm not
-
talking about it was kind of God or assume it was God.
-
Tell me the last time you know you heard from God.
-
How are we going to be a church? That don't hear God.
-
And how have we come so satisfied with someone just
-
reading some scripture to us? And we have community groups and
-
all that. And there's churches that do not
-
hear from God. They hear Scripture, but but
-
it's not translated to what God is saying today.
-
Read scripture, please. But you should do that on your
-
own man. Shall not live by logos alone,
-
but by every word that proceeds out of Rhema.
-
Like there's this call to constantly stay tuned in the
-
God's voice. Abraham God said go kill your
-
son. Abraham went to kill his son and
-
God said don't kill your son. And some of us are killing stuff
-
because we stop listening that go.
-
And some of us or keeping stuff alive because we stop listening
-
that go. Yeah, God said go to that city.
-
God said, hey, go to that coffee meeting.
-
He didn't say marry the person. You stop listening.
-
I'm I'm sorry, but when you walk with God, it's an open
-
conversation that never ends. And if we're in a time where
-
there's false prophets, you tell me, if all you need is signs and
-
wonders to know is God, then how are you going to differentiate
-
with the false prophets who have signs and wonders?
-
Yeah, you can't hear from God having forty favorite YouTube
-
influencers and different churches you listening to and
-
all that, man, God knows what you need.
-
And if Love Quest ain't where you supposed to be, and if we
-
ain't supposed to be your pastors, please do me a favor
-
and yourself a favor, and your kids and your family find the
-
place you're supposed to be because God is going to speak to
-
you there and He's going to grow you there.
-
This is the. Year of the fear of God.
-
The essential key to a year of awe and wonder.
-
The fog for those that didn't know, Because I was surprised
-
how many people didn't know what the fog was after I said this is
-
the year of the fear of God. Fear F of Oh God Gee, this is
-
the year of the fear of God. This is not a cloudy season
-
where we can't see. We're not entering into a fog of
-
a season of obscurity. This is just an acronym for the
-
Fear of. God, it's the essential key,
-
essential key, our seeking stops.
-
When our fear and our reverence stops.
-
So we we started seeking Him first, but now we seeking him
-
third. It's easy to see God first when
-
you need them, like need them, need them.
-
But when are you just going to turn that other switch off and
-
understand you always need them? What if this was the year?
-
Everything changed for you. I received that for me.
-
You like man things? Have been changing.
-
I'm talking about they going to keep changing.
-
But again, this is the year you going to see the change and the
-
people around you are going to see the change.
-
Here it is the glory of God that has been promised to be upon us
-
is coming to inject and inspect. OK, he's going to inject
-
everything he promised blessing overflow abundance is coming in
-
so fast you're going to barely be able to handle it.
-
But he's also see This is why people I don't know if really
-
ready for revival because revival ain't about legs growing
-
in the blind sin. No, sometimes revival looks like
-
he's coming to inspect true revival.
-
True revival. Somebody say true revival, it
-
leads to repentance. True revival is not a flood of
-
promises showing up. The promises don't aren't
-
flooding in. They've already been given.
-
Repentance happens and then you are LED into what God?
-
It can't, it just happens. Promise the promises know who
-
it's been promised to. The promises has your address.
-
That's why when you ain't in your authentic home, it can't
-
find you. OK, everything that God promised
-
began to happen in my life. Like, yeah, see, see, here it
-
is. You ready?
-
There's some blessings you have strictly off of grace, and then
-
there's stuff you get off a. Sonship, that's not the message
-
today, but it was good for somebody.
-
OK, here it is. So you got to be aware of the
-
side effects of glory, the side effects of glory.
-
Often when we hear glory in a year like this, Oh my,
-
everything going to change around my healing coming in.
-
No, but when it shows up the glory has a heads and a tails.
-
Everything got two sides of it and most of the time we focus on
-
the one side of it. We focus on the blessing.
-
We focus on the spouse, not the drama that come with the spouse.
-
We want kids and they cute, but then when them kids, we not
-
focus on the problems kids bring.
-
We want that new career, but we're not ready for the
-
responsibility. We want that Bentley or that
-
that Lambo, but we don't understand what it takes to to
-
take care of a Lambo. The oil prices go up, right?
-
We just so we working for the money to get one, but we aren't
-
prepared to have one. So you walking around with this
-
big old chandelier in your little 500 square foot apartment
-
because you just want to be blessed.
-
Hebrews 12 Here we is unlike your ancestors.
-
Listen closely. You didn't come to Mount Sinai,
-
all that volcanic blaze and earth shaking rumble to hear God
-
speak. You didn't.
-
You didn't have to hear God speak in the dramatic fashion.
-
They had to bless you. Hallelujah.
-
Ear splitting words and soul shaking message terrified them
-
and they begged him. To stop when they heard the
-
words. Man, when's the last time God's
-
word shook? You see reverences this thing,
-
man, when you got it, this is what protects you.
-
This is what brings peace in your life.
-
This is what gets you to unshakable and immovable.
-
See, we got a lot of churches that are built off of the fear
-
of man, not the fear of God. That's why we if we're not
-
careful, we try to find churches that will will will fit our
-
needs and prerequisites and things of that nature.
-
And it says when they heard the words look.
-
Here's the words. If an animal touches the
-
mountain, it's as good as dead. These are holy moments these
-
folks couldn't play with. Stop playing with God.
-
Now here we are because we think it's Old Testament that was this
-
the crazy St. Time.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no. Here you go.
-
This is what you got. I, I I need y'all to hear this.
-
And we about to see this because we're under grace and God don't
-
got to deal with us how he dealt with them.
-
We're actually held more accountable as a New Testament
-
believer. They didn't have 66 books.
-
They weren't infilled with the Holy Ghost.
-
They weren't walking with the word with Jesus.
-
We not only got the word on pages, we got the word in US.
-
He says it's as good as dead. They they were afraid to move,
-
afraid to move, say somebody say afraid to move.
-
Even Moses was terrified. This is not the terrification of
-
God. You understand what I'm saying?
-
This is not. The terror of God?
-
No, that's not your experience at all, is it?
-
When's the last time you heard the earth open and swallowed up
-
folks? That was the move of God.
-
It's in the Bible. It's in the Bible.
-
OK. Red Sea.
-
Parton. When's the last time you saw
-
y'all saw all the Vancouverites running into the cold water?
-
How many people was out there on set?
-
That's OK. That that that He was like, hey,
-
it's all good. Only one.
-
Amen. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. 2. I knew you was out there.
-
You didn't have to raise your hand.
-
There you go. Right, You got all them, all
-
those souls out there gathered, right?
-
It's a cold plunge. No, that's that's.
-
Not your experience. At all is it?
-
You've come to Mount Sinai, the city where the living God
-
resides. This is talking about this
-
unseen city, the unseen church that the New Testament gets, the
-
experience, Hebrews says. I'm not building temple houses
-
that man can build. I'm living in my people now, OK?
-
The invisible Jerusalem is populated by throngs of festive
-
angels and Christian citizens. It is the city where God is.
-
Judged. Here it is.
-
This is this invisible. See, I remember I gave you those
-
seven points earlier. This is what this is from.
-
That's what this was describing, this unseen realm, because it's
-
no longer the New Testament. The Old Testament was all
-
shadows and types. So the Old Testament was
-
pointing to a king and his Kingdom coming.
-
The prophet foretold about it is all shadows and types.
-
OK, so the Promised land in the Old Testament was really talking
-
about the coming of the Holy Ghost.
-
So there was a physical promised land that the people entered in,
-
and then there was a promised land that entered the people in
-
the New Testament. With judgments that make us
-
just, you've come to Jesus, who presents us with a new covenant.
-
The Bible says it's a better covenant.
-
A fresh charter from God. He is the mediator of this
-
covenant. The murder of Jesus, unlike
-
Abel's, a homicide that cried out for vengeance, became a
-
proclamation of grace. So this, the blood that spilled
-
on the streets, it's pointing to a savior coming.
-
OK, one was vengeance, the other is grace.
-
OK, Abraham makes this transaction with God and he goes
-
to sacrifice his only begotten son.
-
He gets there to do it. God says no, no, no, no, no, no,
-
no. Now I know I found a man in the
-
earth that is willing to give his best.
-
Now I'll provide my son how many things God's asking you to do
-
that other generations need you to bow to.
-
So, so, so, so, so. Don't turn a deaf ear to these
-
gracious words. If those who ignored earthly
-
warnings hear it didn't get away with it, what will happen to?
-
Us if we turn our backs on heavenly warnings.
-
Listen, people, if you hear New Year's Eve, we read Earth, We
-
read earthly warnings. What are those?
-
Earthquakes in diverse places? Wars and rumors of wars.
-
We see the church turning on itself.
-
We see kingdoms fighting. Kingdoms all the site.
-
This is why it's dangerous to sit in a church that ain't got
-
no sons and Issachar in there and all you're doing is just
-
getting fat with education and you know where Bethlehem was and
-
you got your little prayers Shaw and some oil on your desk, but
-
Jesus don't know you and you don't know Jesus.
-
You got oil that represents the Holy Ghost, but you ain't got
-
the Holy Ghost. He says man, y'all this New
-
Testament church, we better stop playing.
-
He says his voice that time shook the earth to its
-
foundations. Somebody say this time?
-
Oh, and say, this time our time. He's told us this quite plainly.
-
He'll also rock the heavens. We're we're a part.
-
Of this one last shaking, guys, we're part of this one last
-
shaking. What if I told you that you and
-
the body of Christ is God's response to the darkness of our
-
time? Some of you don't want to have
-
nothing to do with it. Did you get saved just for you?
-
You're going to keep playing church, keep playing with God.
-
You're going to keep drinking the drink, smoking the smoke,
-
watching the porn. You're going to keep cussing
-
folks out. You're going to keep making
-
excuses. You're going to keep depending
-
on other people. You're going to keep listening
-
to your family instead of God. What, like what, what is the
-
excuse going to be because you are going to be held accountable
-
and God doesn't cash in excuses. It's in the Bible guys.
-
It says the the phrase one it says one last shaking from top
-
to bottom. That's everything.
-
That's the house, that's the church.
-
That's why we're seeing churches crumble.
-
Pastors fault. You're going to see more and
-
more churches that aren't equipped for the last days.
-
These are smart pastors and boards.
-
They're folding into other churches, meaning they're taking
-
everything in their bank account.
-
They've. Prayed diligently about who to
-
take over the church and they're folding their church into
-
another church still serving God, but no longer the lead
-
pastors and no longer standing as that church alone.
-
They're they're joining other churches and you're going to see
-
more churches have like 5 lead pastors.
-
That's a model. But why 5?
-
Why 6? Why 3?
-
It's OK to have a lead pastor and other fivefold ministry
-
gifts. But here you understand this, a
-
pastor doesn't mean you pastor a church.
-
So you can have a pastoral gift and not start a church or be a
-
leader of a church. You can be a pastor over
-
children. You can be a pastor over music.
-
You can it is pastor is an administrative gift.
-
It is a gift that helps lead and guide, comfort, counsel, keep
-
tabs on the body that is called together.
-
So as God is shaking, there are smart men and women who are
-
acknowledging my time is up. But some people are tapping out
-
because what they built or where they got hired, the foundation
-
cannot stand the test of time. So This is why we can't build
-
this church according to what you want.
-
Neither would I want because this church cannot be built on
-
the fear of man. It has to be built on the fear
-
of God because there are children will never see that
-
will Make Love quest their church home.
-
And then one day we're going to be the cloud of witnesses.
-
One day we're going to be the wind in their sails.
-
So what work are you a part of that's thinking about when
-
you're not here? Because God is not.
-
He is not stuck at your little time frame of wants and needs.
-
He's the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.
-
He's a generational God and you are only a part of the plan He
-
had for your bloodline. You are only carrying a baton.
-
You won't finish the race, Jesus will.
-
Jesus finishes the race for everybody.
-
You will finish your leg of the race, but Jesus is running
-
through the eternal ribbon. Says man, I'm shaking this thing
-
from top to bottom, stem the stern.
-
You ever be at the airport and you get called to secondary
-
security and they go through I'm like, can you at least put
-
myself back? Like how I had like fold my
-
clothes, man. I don't say that because I'm,
-
you know, they kicked me. I don't want to mess nothing up.
-
Or you ever be a parent, you shake your kids room up or they
-
shook it up. You ever see a kid shake a room
-
up? You ever see maybe no one in
-
here has ever been in trouble with the law, but you ever watch
-
a movie or a show where FBI law enforcement comes into, they
-
raid a home and they just tear everything up?
-
Stem the stern. You could flush you.
-
You could you could you could try to hide and flush your
-
bondage down the drain if you want to going to pop back up in
-
the toilet. It's going to come back up.
-
Hello, I'm still here. No, no, no, no, no, no.
-
You got to deal with this stuff, man.
-
God is not coming. It's not about your sin, your
-
your, your struggles disappearing.
-
It's not like you're hoping one day it disappears.
-
No, you get to know Jesus through the wrestling.
-
Of oh man, y'all got to go listen to this Morning about the
-
Lord revealing how he's called some of us to trace the tracks
-
of our ancestors, only to break it out of our bloodline.
-
The phrase one last shaking means a thorough house cleaning.
-
Somebody say thorough getting rid of all the historical and
-
religious junk so that the unshakable here it is essentials
-
stand clear and uncluttered. What this world needs to see is
-
follower of Jesus clear. Not wondering who you follow
-
because every time you open your mouth it's confusing.
-
Follow church. COVID comes, I can run there and
-
get healed. Oh, I know who to call if I'm
-
troubled with a demon. I know some skilled musicians.
-
I know people who are focused on the gift God has given them, and
-
they're giving it to God with all their might.
-
They're not so spread out that none of their tools are sharp.
-
This is happening now because if it was happening then when they
-
wrote this, it's happening now. Here it is.
-
Do you see what we've got? An unshakeable Kingdom.
-
Hallelujah. So the Kingdom of God is
-
unshakeable. The question is, are you on it?
-
Are you in it? It's the only Kingdom that's
-
unshakeable. That's why I'm not trying to
-
change the shakeable Kingdom of the world.
-
I'm not trying to OK politics, whatever.
-
Do do your thing. Truth, right, Do your thing,
-
Donald, whatever. Like, I get it, certain things
-
aren't preferred. Whatever, pick who you want,
-
whatever. But man, get that same energy to
-
the King of King and the Lord of Lords.
-
Man, you were not saved to carry a political spirit.
-
You are a citizen of the Kingdom of God.
-
You have an answer, you have a way, you have a truth, you have.
-
Justice and do. You see how thankful we must be.
-
Not only thankful, but brimming with worship deeply reverent
-
before God. And so folks come in here and
-
like, wow. This isn't just about songs and
-
worship time on Sunday. This is a lifestyle, but if the
-
lifestyle is there, then my it impacts my posture.
-
You know what I'm saying? You don't have to be all jumpy
-
like me, but man, you can you man, I can something like I
-
could like I'm not mad at the person who who not just like
-
hey, but you, you can't stay still.
-
You got your little your little leg moving like show me
-
something like shut tap your foot, do something.
-
But some of y'all really do you hurt like it, look it look like
-
it. Hurt, I don't see how you can't
-
stand in the presence of God. I don't see how you can't like
-
for God is not indifferent bystander.
-
He's actively cleaning house torching here it is all that
-
needs to burn. He's coming, he going to burn it
-
up and he won't quit until it's all cleansed.
-
God himself is fire. So like I said on New Year's
-
Eve, let's just clean up before Dad gets home.
-
Anybody ever have siblings? I didn't, but I thought it.
-
I thought this way. My Mama coming home and what she
-
told me, man, listen, I didn't have my homies.
-
Come to the house. My Mama answered the door.
-
No, I answered the door. Hey, what's up?
-
You bet not. Open that door.
-
I'm looking through the peephole, talking to my friend.
-
Hey, what's up? Kid, open the door.
-
T He ain't coming out. He's still got to clean this
-
room. She didn't even open the door to
-
tell him. Then I look back and I'm like,
-
really? Because I thought because my
-
friend came over, then we can excuse my chores.
-
Like I'll get back to it, right? The blessing, the new job, the
-
new friend can come. But God, you hear me?
-
The new blessing is not a sign. God moved on from what he asked
-
you. God bless you because he's a
-
good friend. He's a good.
-
Father, he's a covenant man, and you thought because the blessing
-
came, you've been praying for what He asked you.
-
He's. Changed his mind.
-
Maybe God's saying let I'm going to make the first move that I
-
love you since you may since I got to bless you to try to get
-
something from you. Let me just bless you because it
-
don't cost me nothing to get to, to open the door for you or so
-
go on here and get the new job and any dad's just sitting there
-
and he don't want anything but his son or daughter.
-
We can make it all about stuff. But what if God just misses
-
children? What, what if, what if, what if
-
you showed up one day and came home and none of your children
-
was home? OK, let me, let me, let me break
-
it down to you. Adam showed up in the garden.
-
Lord showed up in the garden where he put Adam and his son
-
was gone. And although he knew Adam had
-
failed, he still went to look for him.
-
And although he knew that Adam and Eve had to suffer the
-
consequences of their fruit, he still wanted to talk to him and
-
say, where'd you go? And then he said, wow, who told
-
you? Like, wow, like my words wasn't
-
enough. You still needed a second
-
opinion. You still needed more
-
confirmation. You still needed more voices.
-
That's why you got to be careful saying God give me another sign.
-
The serpent shows up real quick when you need another sign.
-
We don't need signs, we need words.
-
Learn to trust God's word. Not always need a sign right?
-
That's what psychics need with your new age self.
-
That that's not of God. God don't need your crystals.
-
He don't need your dream Nets. He don't need your Ouija boards.
-
He don't need nothing. He just wants you.
-
He gave us his word. That's what he stands on.
-
Signs can change like a back catcher, like a third base
-
coach. You know, in signs, they give
-
you a lot of signs, but it's only one that means anything
-
because I'm trying to just, you got to understand when you walk
-
with God, like you got to hold to his word because the enemy's
-
doing this all day, signing, right?
-
Here's what God does. Go.
-
Left stop, right rest. And then you married the rhythm
-
of the voice. And when he paused his voice,
-
you start getting antsy because even the rhythm has become a
-
sign. And because God doesn't want you
-
depending on science, he changes the rhythm.
-
He just wants his children and kids always.
-
Like if my kids be like when we eat, Mama when we eat and daddy
-
wouldn't be quiet, you know it ever been the day you ain't 8 in
-
2025. God desires to build an
-
unshakeable house and unwavering people, immovable Davidic people
-
and place that stands the test of times.
-
I'll give you 2 scriptures and we will we will go Matthew 7.
-
Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter into my to
-
heaven's Kingdom. OK, once you understand the
-
Kingdom of heaven, this is God's Kingdom within his people on
-
earth as it is in heaven, and it's hard to enter his Kingdom
-
or enter into the life of the Kingdom on earth as it is in
-
heaven without building your life on the rock.
-
So if all you wanted to do is get to heaven one day after you
-
die, you're in there if you receive Jesus.
-
But if you want to experience all that God has for you on this
-
life, in this life, and here's what it takes, it is only those
-
who persist in doing the will of my heavenly Father.
-
You want to know what the fear of God is?
-
It's a people that persist in doing the will of my heavenly
-
Father on the day of judgment. Many will say to me, Lord, Lord,
-
don't you remember us? Didn't we prophecy in your name?
-
Didn't we cast out demons? Like didn't we do ministry?
-
Didn't we do all the religious things that you asked us?
-
He's like, wow, you thought I came and saved you to get you to
-
do stuff for me. Here, here's what you got.
-
As he says, I will have to say to them, Go away from me, you
-
lawless rebels, meaning disobedient, defiant, not
-
obeying the word of God, rebels. I've never been joined to you.
-
Another translation says I never knew you, which lets me know he
-
wants to know you and you to know him.
-
He can't he, he can't he. He's saying that how you walk
-
with him on earth will who? How you walk with him on Earth
-
will determine how you see Him in eternity.
-
You ever get in somewhere? You ever get in a club or
-
something? You're not on the club no more,
-
but some of y'all still do you ever get into a club or a party
-
or something off of somebody else's name like VIP or my
-
cousin hate my my cousin Brownie.
-
You told us that. He told me to just talk to the
-
security guard and then you get in there.
-
But because you ain't Brownie, you don't know nobody.
-
So you got in off a Brownie name?
-
But you can't enjoy brownies access, right?
-
You get in off of Jesus, but you can't experience it the same way
-
because you don't know. Jesus, all right, all right, all
-
right. See, and this, this whole trick
-
of just being satisfied when I die, at least I know where I'm
-
going. So Jesus has been coming become
-
insurance. He's not even a savior.
-
He's insurance because if you. Have the revelation of being
-
saved. Everyone who hears my teaching
-
and applies this say apply. Here's what you have to see.
-
This word applies, says wisdom. Wisdom is the application of
-
what knowledge. So to apply takes wisdom, but
-
wisdom, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
-
So the fear of God impacts my wisdom, and wisdom impacts my
-
applying of knowledge. Wake.
-
Day up, wake day up. His eyes may be up, but he did
-
not a few minutes ago. And in a few minutes he's going
-
to say PT wake him up. Wake him up.
-
Hallelujah. Or are you going to bang on
-
something? But I saw you sleep day.
-
Come on, wake up. Why?
-
Come on. It's discipleship.
-
Discipleship and applies it to his life can be compared to a
-
wise man who built his house on an unshakeable foundation.
-
Follow. Come on, somebody say I'm a wise
-
man. Why are you wise?
-
Because you applied, all you people who just come to church
-
and listen to a good word. If I caught you on Tuesday and
-
asked you about the word on Sunday, could you tell me
-
anything? All you just people who are
-
taking in all this revelation in your head.
-
Thank you. Jesus for the.
-
Scribes, thank you, Jesus, for the people who actually took
-
notes when they hang around Jesus.
-
Yeah. Oh, you.
-
Smart people, but you. But you can't.
-
You can't. You can't treat note taking for
-
revelation like you do an iPad, right?
-
What if God's asking you to take notes?
-
Man, look, look, I got to look good. 6060 or so years left,
-
maybe 50, whatever. But look, when I go, do you know
-
how many, how much revelation? Forget writing books, how much
-
revelation my grandchildren, my children, my great
-
grandchildren, great great grandchildren will have.
-
If, if, if. 50 years from now they take every Bible, shut down
-
every Bible app. Do you know how many notes, how
-
much word my family will have in its bloodline?
-
What are you doing for your bloodline?
-
Watching a never save the family.
-
I just love y'all so much. Here it is.
-
When the rain fell and the flood came with fierce winds beating
-
up on it. Look, he just says, you foolish
-
Ki got to tell you this Lord just said this.
-
The Lord just said this. Look, I got to tell you this.
-
It's hard to have wisdom for something you won't write, and
-
it's hard to apply something you can't find where it's at.
-
Here it is. The Lord says write the vision
-
down, make it plain so those that see what you wrote, they
-
can run with what you wrote, not with what they heard God say.
-
Do you know that you're not just taking notes for you, but you
-
are taking notes for God, for people who will seal?
-
You think I'm playing? How many people read books?
-
It ain't one book you have not read that wasn't written or you
-
wouldn't be reading it. Consumers, whoever this is for
-
you better learn here's here's reverence.
-
I Revere God's word so much. I will not think that I have the
-
capacity to hold what heaven is telling me right now.
-
OK, Bible says, Bible says here, I'm done.
-
I'm done. Bible says, Bible says that the
-
enemy comes immediately to steal the word.
-
OK, I'm a tripart being. I have multiple senses.
-
OK, ask anybody that that understands what I'm about to
-
say. If I'm saying it right, my
-
retention rate from writing or typing is higher than me just
-
hearing. Why are we going here?
-
Because we talk about revering God, you better treat His word
-
like it's worth writing. Hey, you, you, you ever Nicole,
-
somebody ever came up to you and be like, Hey girl, how you
-
doing? Can I get your phone number?
-
And you look back at them like it's 455-6789.
-
You got that? No.
-
Guess what happened? Let me get your number.
-
Or nowadays you even connect your phone, right?
-
It's documented. So then here it is when I write
-
my notes, I I can just be like that was Sunday but.
-
When I go. Back to Monday.
-
I got it recorded. I'm trying to tell you, I, I
-
meant, look, I know some very, very smart people in this room.
-
I applaud you for your intelligence.
-
I applaud you for your ability to retain information.
-
I know people are wired different, but I, I promise you,
-
100% of you, if you, you, you do not have the capacity to retain
-
100% of what you're hearing in this room.
-
Not when there is a devil working overtime.
-
See, because some of you, I got to write what was said.
-
So while I'm digesting and my little smart mind manipulated
-
and I take it from what was said, I can always go back to
-
what was said. Some of you want to hear and
-
process it. Your processor ain't always
-
lined up with what God is saying.
-
And some stuff God is saying ain't for you to process.
-
It's for you to just receive it for what it is because His word
-
is Spirit. There's some some rooms I've
-
been in and God has said some things that I have to catch.
-
I'm not talking about the stuff that says so fast you can't
-
document it, boy. I'm talking about the stuff.
-
You just like is it? One thing worth writing, what
-
does that do when someone comes off the street that's a
-
professor somewhere, someone that's been an atheist, someone
-
that's whatever business mogul, whatever, come in here and they
-
see a room full of students? They see a room full of people
-
taking what God is saying serious.
-
That's a witness. How many people go to school
-
here? Please tell me this are are you
-
tested right? Every student in here that's
-
tested raise your hand and everybody that said they go to
-
school should raise their hand. Or are you not in school if you
-
don't get tested? OK, here it is.
-
Every student in here that goes to school that gets tested and
-
take notes, raise your hand, OK? And if you're a student that
-
goes to school and gets tested and you take notes or if you
-
don't take notes, you're not a good student.
-
OK, let me let me help you right now.
-
Just give me a couple students. Just answer this question.
-
Why do you take notes? For what?
-
For the test, right and and and to what?
-
Remember, there's notes you take and when you're preparing for
-
the test, you take it off your notes or out of your and you
-
write it on. Cards.
-
So you're, you are not only writing notes, you are actually
-
extracting what you know is important and doubling down on
-
the notes. And let me ask you this, do you
-
feel that the education that you take, so take so serious and
-
prepare for the test in that school to get a piece of paper.
-
Can that bachelor's degree guarantee safety, healing,
-
household salvage, whatever it is, can it guide you through
-
these last days? And if anybody feels like it
-
can, please raise your hand. I want to know.
-
I could be dumb about some things.
-
OK my question to you is why do you feel because my a teacher
-
may say take notes but it's also an assumed thing.
-
Same way you don't want to waste money, you shouldn't want to
-
waste your life. OK.
-
Do you think that what you are taking down notes for in class
-
has more value than the word of God?
-
Serious question. Serious question.
-
I don't want a religious answer if you think so if you, you
-
could be like no, I need to take notes because man, my job, my
-
career, depending on it, I got to answer for that.
-
But that's honest. So what makes you think and when
-
you come in this room and God has hand picked teachers that
-
have went before you and spent time understand this, you have
-
professors that are teaching you from their education, but
-
they're also within a curriculum that they have to give you based
-
on a world system. And there's some teachers
-
teaching y'all stuff that they don't want to teach y'all, but
-
they have to. God has hand picked people in
-
your life for your life that go before Him and pull down things
-
from heaven. And he shows up as teacher,
-
pastor, prophet, apostle, evangelist, whatever it may be,
-
he shows up. Within that man or woman, really
-
Jesus in the form of those gifts.
-
And he is talking to you through.
-
Can you please understand how it empowers a professor to watch
-
her students taking notes while he or she is talking?
-
Understand what happens when you show interest and place value on
-
what God is saying to you. How it opens the door for more.
-
Your life is dependent on the word of God.
-
You should act like it. May this be a generation that
-
really value what God has to say as as much if not more, but at
-
least as much as this culture and world has made you value
-
education because some of y'all think you don't have a chance to
-
make it if you don't go to. School, let me tell you this,
-
you don't got a chance to make it if you don't got the word.
-
And if you can retain as much as you retain without notes, then
-
#1 take notes in an act of saying thank you for my brain #2
-
man, how much more would you know if you took notes?
-
Every song Love Quest has has written.
-
Came from the word that has been preached.
-
Stewardship. We want, we go before God.
-
Lord, please give us songs. He's like I did.
-
Did you take notes in the message Every.
-
You will see them over here writing, taking voice memos
-
during spontaneous moments. All every song came from a
-
moment in a service. You think God's night.
-
There will never be writer's block in our church because if
-
there's writer's block, that mean there's sermon block.
-
As long as the word is alive, we'll never be out of creative
-
power. There's songs in here.
-
You watch the production, did you?
-
If you took notes or if you retained it?
-
So much of our songs and so much of the word made-up the scripts.
-
To hear Saul go to Paul and they hear Paul say pursue, overtake.
-
Man, I felt it like it was really Paul.
-
I was like. Oh yeah, it brought a whole new
-
life to our mission. But some of you didn't know that
-
was our mission. But Paul, Saul went to Paul and
-
got on Love Quest mission. I'm telling you for your
-
businesses, I'm telling you for songs, I'm telling you for
-
books. I'm telling you for your
-
marriage. If you keep your pen, if you
-
keep your pen ready Bible says like the pen of a ready writer.
-
He writes on our heart. You don't understand this action
-
is like the Old Testament. New Testament is while you're
-
doing this, he's writing it on your heart with an invisible
-
pen. So what would happen if you and
-
then you begin to echo, repeat the moments that we're like tell
-
your neighbor or confess this or when the word comes up, you're
-
like. Confessing it I do.
-
Stand on a firm foundation. I'm going to say it.
-
I'm going to write it. And I'm going to hear me say it.
-
I'm going to take the words off of P TS lips and I'm going to
-
put them in my mouth and they're going to be my words.
-
I'm going to write it. I'm going to see it.
-
I'm going to hear it out of my mouth and it's going to become
-
my faith. And then guess what?
-
I get to do? It transformed me.
-
And then I get to me and my son. My son text me the word all the
-
time. I remember being in a marital
-
counseling moment and we let him sit at the table and then at the
-
end of the marital counseling moment, I looked at him.
-
I said, do you have anything to offer them?
-
Why is that important? Because he can offer that
-
husband and wife a point of view from the child that we can't
-
offer. How he saw his parents work
-
stuff out. So how important is it for your
-
kids to see? Y'all work things out in front
-
of them. And then we got to a point and
-
I, he texts me a word I said. I said you tell them 17 year
-
old. Do you know what the word he's
-
typing is doing for him? You ready?
-
It's maturing him. You know why he takes notes
-
though? He sees his mom and his daddy
-
doing it. You can pass the money down.
-
Are you showing your kids how to follow Jesus?
-
So I'm taking notes for him and then when I need encouragement,
-
how many times have he texted me the word?
-
I have a feeling we won't have to have this conversation with
-
some people again. Let this be a house not just of
-
miracles you want to experience, but maybe a House of reverence,
-
that where God has found a group of people that know how to lean
-
into His glory, not just ask for it.
-
Lift your hands right where you are.
-
We do it because we love you. We say it because we love you.
-
I pray you got something out of today.
-
You can come take this video. This is the year, the fear of
-
God, the spirit of the fear of God.
-
And we're going to, we're about to, we're about to dive into
-
this thing big time and watch what happens at an accelerated
-
rate in this house. We're going to see that the fear
-
of God brings health to our lives.
-
The fear of God. Brings wisdom to our lives.
-
The fear of God brings long life to our lives.
-
Here it is and we see it over and over.
-
The fear of God impacts the next generation.
-
How you walk with God impacts your children.
-
It's time that we begin to live for the generations after us,
-
not just now. I'll say it's done.
-
It is finished. Can this just be a year where
-
you really just trust God, even if it's the signs and wonders
-
ain't there. Trust God.
-
Act like he telling the truth as we start our fast on Tuesday.
-
If you've never fasted, it's 21 days.
-
Join us. You want more information?
-
Follow us on social media, go to our kiosk in the back and ask
-
questions. But we're fasting church, and
-
we've seen much growth from our church, fasting and praying.
-
We will be gathering in person every day, Tuesday through
-
Saturday at 6:30 PM, right here for 90 minutes.
-
And it will be a time of prophetic intercession, little
-
worship, some prayer. We'll be right here Tuesday to
-
Saturday, 21 days, Tuesday to Saturday, then the last week
-
will be a week of revival where we are just bombarding the gates
-
of hell and we are believing for freedom and deliverance and
-
breakthrough and it's going to be a good time.
-
If you want to know what we're fasting go to the kiosk and or
-
follow our social media. It starts Tuesday so get all
-
your crazy eating out on today and tomorrow and stick with it.
-
Here it is. Don't do your own thing and call
-
it the Love Quest fast. Get the rebellion out of your
-
fasting and praying. Get the independent spirit out
-
of your fasting and praying, OK? You don't need chicken or steak
-
to have protein. OK, I need protein.
-
All kinds of stuff can get you proteins.
-
OK, 21 days, great breakthrough is going to occur.
-
We have a lot of announcements to make, so go look at our
-
social media tomorrow and you'll see those announcements.
-
I don't feel like giving announcements right this second.
-
The last one I will give is our prayer structure is going to
-
change. We've been inviting people out
-
every Saturday for prayer. Folks do not come to prayer.
-
And for me, the sign of of the strength of your church is in
-
your prayer meetings, not Sunday.
-
And so we're not going to keep pouring out oil to people that
-
don't value the gathering of prayer with their church.
-
So what we're going to do is every first Saturdays, every
-
first Saturday, all we're asking you to do is once a month, show
-
up to corporate prayer right here.
-
There will be communion and there will be prayer and there
-
will be some worship. We're not doing communion on
-
Sundays anymore. For a while.
-
We're doing it on every first Saturday, not every first
-
Sunday. Join us, I believe.
-
Do we have a time yet? Huh.
-
You start in February, but the time will release the time this
-
coming week, once a month. That it.
-
That's it. If you are interested in growing
-
your prayer life, that's who we're inviting to Saturdays.
-
We only want to pour into serious folk.
-
If you don't care about growing your prayer life, you don't have
-
to come. But on Saturdays you will sign
-
up with the elders and they will be doing equipping in prayer and
-
praying. You will learn how to pray the
-
Word of God. You will learn how to pray in
-
faith, and you will learn how to contend for your family, for
-
your region, and for yourself. So we'll have more information
-
about that. And then January 19th, this is
-
important. Is it January 19th?
-
The SSK thing OK Children's church and youth ministry is not
-
the the the the the the the the and ministry of the church the
-
and the the the. The ministry where it's just
-
like I'm I'm out there and I'm going to miss service.
-
When is serving not going to be about you?
-
And what we will not do is give our children and our youth and
-
our students trash anymore. I am telling you now, we.
-
Need help from those that God has sent here?
-
If you are not called to spell youth ministry or children's
-
church, do not sign up. But even if.
-
It's one person. I want you to come, I want you
-
to see can you can you raise your hand?
-
Fe is Pastor Danielle the sheet down here.
-
Come and see Fe and I want you to just take the youth ministry
-
and and and SSK and I want you to sign up.
-
Our student ministries need help.
-
And this year we will get it off the ground.
-
We will get them healthy and we will impact this community.
-
I understand certain structural things next door, this building,
-
it has the impact of certain things, but we still want to
-
begin to equip and build our teams and our systems.
-
OK, So if we can get some help, you don't have to do every week.
-
You don't have to. You do what you feel called to,
-
but we will hold you accountable to what you commit to.
-
We need some help and I believe there's a few people in here
-
that God is calling you. You're looking at where to get
-
involved and it may not be where you want to start, but you do
-
want to get involved. I want you to go and see Effie
-
right after this and I am looking forward to serving
-
alongside of you. If you sign up, we're going to
-
have a quick 30 minute meeting January 19th right in this room.
-
If you sign up January 19th after 1130 experience.
-
Cool, stand to your feet. Can I help people?
-
The fear of God is not a bad scary thing.
-
I, I didn't get to it, but it's not being afraid of God.
-
It's actually where freedom is. It's actually like I, I have, I,
-
I fear the Lord and my life is, is better than it ever has.
-
I'm a jokester. I have fun.
-
I love fashion. I like kidding around.
-
I play basketball, I go to the gym, I go like life.
-
Don't stop because you fear the Lord.
-
It begins. Amen.
-
But if he's shaking you up, good, put your hand on your
-
neighbor's shoulder and let him know it's going to be all right.
-
Come on, look at somebody else. Say this is the word we needed
-
today. Hallelujah.
-
Take 30 seconds and pray for your neighbor.
-
Come on, 10 more seconds. Come on, grab your neighbor hand
-
and hold it up high. Come on, say we are out of time,
-
but we are not out of love. I'll see you Tuesday and enjoy
-
the fast until next time. Get yo have a good one.
