  1. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

  2. Church podcast, where we seek to love all nations, equip the

  3. church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

  7. some tea, and get ready to receive.

  8. It's cold time. Let's get into it.

  9. Hallelujah. Sound like we got some hungry

  10. people in here. Come on, can the hungry and

  11. thirsty people make some noise for?

  12. Jesus, Amen, if you can be seated.

  13. In the presence of a mighty king.

  14. Happy New Year. All right, I'm going to say it

  15. one more time and give give a few other people a chance to say

  16. it back. Happy New Year.

  17. Amen. Look to the person next to you

  18. and say this year don't play with me because I am a changed

  19. person. Come on, look at somebody else

  20. say God is really doing some things in my life and I can't

  21. afford for you to mess them up. So if.

  22. You going to? Sit next to me this year.

  23. Come on, you're going to have to act, right?

  24. Amen. Come on, give your neighbor a

  25. hand for showing up. Amen.

  26. I know, I know there's some folks like why we clap so much,

  27. why we shout so much, why y'all so excited?

  28. And then I'm going to ask you why you don't clap so much, why

  29. you not excited, why you so grumpy face and why you come

  30. Hallelujah. I just like to tell people man,

  31. I I shout because I actually worship a a God that's alive.

  32. I'm sorry if yours is dead, but Mines is alive.

  33. I also secondly serve a God who defeated the grave.

  34. So if yours is still dead, Mines is not.

  35. So I I can't, I can't have a resurrected king in me and, and

  36. and and be stuck at the cross, right?

  37. The cross was the door that led me into this freedom and into

  38. this life. And more than that, it isn't

  39. just the resurrected king lives in me, though same spirit that

  40. raised Jesus from the dead lives in me.

  41. So let me tell my question to you is how do you contain the

  42. spirit that resurrected Jesus? How, how, how are you that maybe

  43. I need to maybe you should be my Lord.

  44. Maybe how are you that strong to keep the resurrected king down

  45. right, 100% of you holler back at me and say you're not talking

  46. about me today. All right, all right, all right,

  47. all right back down. Look so this morning, so I want

  48. to first of all apologize. It's not like a real apology.

  49. It's just kind of like just like just saying apologize for if you

  50. had to circle the block a few times.

  51. I understand it's a dangerous community and some of you might

  52. have just was about to pass on church because it was a little

  53. late. This first service was a little

  54. late. I'm, I'm going to let you know

  55. there, there might be a few more of those this year that are

  56. going to happen. And what I encourage you to do

  57. is park somewhere and just run into church because something's

  58. happening. I will tell you that this

  59. church, you're not going to put on a stopwatch.

  60. You're not going to be able to predict at what time your

  61. favorite part is happening. Holy Spirit really runs our

  62. service and we try to be careful, telling him to chill

  63. out, back up, be quiet, leave us alone.

  64. We try to chill on that. But what I can say is.

  65. The the the. Word says like the The point of

  66. the word is that. Then the Lord confirms it with

  67. signs and wonders. Those signs and wonders are

  68. happening through people experiencing, in experiencing

  69. the touch of God on the inside. So once we've preached the word,

  70. the whole point of preaching the Word is to introduce people to

  71. Jesus. And so when Jesus is sitting on

  72. somebody's lap and and massaging their brokenness and speaking

  73. life into them, you tell me, where do I have the place to

  74. interrupt a moment when the Father has finally got a moment

  75. with his child? OK, not this church.

  76. So anytime you can circle and go home, you can get up and leave

  77. if you don't want to partake in other people's breakthrough.

  78. OK, so I want to apologize and say if it inconvenience you in

  79. any way that you have to circle walk or wait or we started

  80. later. The reason we started later is

  81. because our team had to turn around some things.

  82. So there will be those moments sometime.

  83. Unfortunately, it's just the way it is.

  84. Not even just because the Lord is moving, just practically, we

  85. don't necessarily have this humongous parking lot where, you

  86. know, overflow can come in while overflow is happening, right?

  87. And so I'm going to read a couple things.

  88. I'm going to read some powerful words that was read this

  89. morning. I didn't even get to the

  90. message. I was stuck in my in these

  91. notes, but it was some stuff that God had gave me for you

  92. guys that was kind of unfinished on New Year's Eve.

  93. And so I'm glad he didn't have me read them because we finished

  94. them and then it was just kind of a release for 2025.

  95. Please go listen to them because the way I'm about to read it to

  96. you is probably going to be cold.

  97. But it was it's some sauce on it.

  98. And that's why you have to circle the block on a couple of

  99. times because the word is actually has penetrated people's

  100. souls and spirits. And, but I do want to just throw

  101. them out there. If you could write quick or

  102. whatever, If not, totally fine. But just know there's more to

  103. what I am about to give to you. But I do want to read them.

  104. And then we'll get into this year's word.

  105. Judgment starts in the House of God.

  106. I know a lot of times we are hurt.

  107. We want God to judge the world like get him God and he's like

  108. no like when you look at Jesus's walk, the people he was most

  109. ticked at and most correcting and rebuking.

  110. It was us, the folks that that are called know better.

  111. We sitting up in church. Playing church?

  112. He's turning tables over in the temple, right?

  113. Judgment starts in the house. So if you want the world to look

  114. better, you start looking better.

  115. You want people to know Jesus, start start being a witness for

  116. Jesus. You want people to be clear

  117. about who the Savior is, then you act like he has impacted

  118. your life beyond your words. OK, so just starts in the house.

  119. And then I began to talk about these seven areas of of when we

  120. walk in God's house, I can guarantee over 90% of the people

  121. do not understand what I am about to tell you.

  122. That's not because something's wrong with you.

  123. It's because you maybe never heard it or was aware of it.

  124. But when we gather here together, we worship in an

  125. unseen place. We are joining a group of people

  126. who are already in worship with God.

  127. There is a heavenly host, there is a cloud of witnesses, and

  128. there are people surrounding the throne of God, angels, Saints.

  129. There's a cloud of witness. And when we come in our little

  130. space, we are joining a parade that has been going on for

  131. eternity. So when you walk in here with

  132. your nose up, understand you are entering in somebody else's

  133. party and you got a privilege to be a part of it.

  134. See, you got to understand it because the party you joining,

  135. that's where your help comes from.

  136. So you also receive unseen assistance in your worship as we

  137. are worshipping in this room and you see screams, man, there's so

  138. there's so much more word that's in this room that's not on this

  139. screen. There's so much more help beyond

  140. my voice. There's so much more strength

  141. beyond the worship team playing in this room.

  142. There is unseen assistance ready there in the Bible puts it this

  143. way, the angels hearken to the word of God.

  144. In other words, when God's Word is spoken, it dispatches his

  145. angels. OK.

  146. OK. You assemble as part of an

  147. unseen congregation, like we're on earth as it is in heaven.

  148. I just want to get caught up in how many people look.

  149. Let me tell you something. You can look at 30 or 40 or 50

  150. unfilled seats, or you can look into the unseen realm.

  151. If you got eyes to see and there's hundreds of thousands if

  152. not millions of Saints in the room, God shut your mouth.

  153. So I'm not worshipping for you. I'm just trying to invite you to

  154. something that's happening in eternity.

  155. Look at your neighbors, say you can miss out if you want to.

  156. First of all, hold on some of y'all look at your neighbor and

  157. say you know I'm not scared of you, OK?

  158. I say I'm going to talk to you. I'm going to talk to you.

  159. Shouldn't have never sat next to me because I'm going to talk to

  160. you. Hallelujah.

  161. Some of y'all apologizing like I'm just saying what he's

  162. saying. I'm just saying what he told me

  163. to say. Look, you stand here before

  164. before God, the unseen judge. Just real quickly.

  165. Some of us who think we hiding from people.

  166. You can hide from us, but you can't hide from God.

  167. He's everywhere. You're not you're not hot.

  168. You're you're never you're never not seen.

  169. So what you did last night, God saw it.

  170. Are you more concerned about us seeing it or God saying see?

  171. But if I don't see me being seen, then to me I ain't seen.

  172. You see how you manipulated yourself and you say.

  173. You love yourself, but you're going to manipulate yourself.

  174. You're going to deceive yourself into thinking you ain't seen.

  175. Oh my God, stupid. Just kidding, just kidding, all

  176. right, but you, you have unseen contact with a cloud of

  177. witnesses, man, when I'm in here, just man, man, do you know

  178. who else is up? You know who else is dancing?

  179. You see y'all? Y'all may not notice though but

  180. man my. My grandma, my my, my pastor,

  181. that race man, there's so many people if you've lost loved

  182. ones, you didn't lose them. You the only way someone's lost

  183. if you don't know where they. Are.

  184. I know it's somebody, somebody can witness it.

  185. I know where my grandma at. I I know where my family.

  186. I know where my friends. I don't know where some some of

  187. my friends I don't know. I don't know if they they made

  188. it. And that's the.

  189. Reality you got to understand you can't hope nobody in the

  190. heaven. Truth of the matter is you got

  191. family and friends who never received Jesus.

  192. Sorry, now what I do know is in the last moment there are some

  193. conversations people have with God on their deathbed that we

  194. don't know about. So we can hope that they had

  195. that moment and God can do whatever he want to do with some

  196. of y'all watching your friends and coworkers go to hell.

  197. Lord save my friend. He's like that's why I put you

  198. to put you. That's why I brought you to that

  199. job. Not for a paycheck, but I got a

  200. son or daughter on your job that I need to hear the gospel.

  201. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. We're moving right along, moving

  202. right along and then and then and then you have been

  203. consecrated for unseen service in heavenly Jerusalem.

  204. You will in this year there is this is a year of great release.

  205. You will be spit out of the spin cycles of despair.

  206. What do I mean? There was a time where the

  207. whale. Had.

  208. To spit Jonah out I am telling you whatever you have been in in

  209. your life, you are God's child and it has to let you go.

  210. Is is there four people in here that receive that for

  211. themselves? OK, OK, I just need 4 on my

  212. squad and if that if that number can increase holla back at me

  213. because I'm scared right now because some folks looking at me

  214. like OK you don't know you are about to be spit out of this.

  215. The worst thing is you get spit out the well and don't want to

  216. swim. You're just like what we doing.

  217. God put me back in the well. No, no, no, no, no, Hallelujah.

  218. OK. Your freedom is not ignoring

  219. your issue. You don't find freedom in

  220. ignoring the facts. And it's not merely leaving it

  221. at the altar. A part of leaving it on the

  222. altar. Is facing it with God because

  223. Jesus is the altar. Some of y'all think because you

  224. came and got prayer at the altar and you're wondering why you go

  225. home and it's still with you. What happened at the altar with

  226. the touch and the prayer is faith is the substance things

  227. hoped for and evidence are not seen.

  228. What happened was is the power and the reality by faith was

  229. released into your life. Now you got to walk out these

  230. tents and you have to then go act like you healed, and acting

  231. like I'm healed is not. It's not ignoring I'm sick, but

  232. I'm going to push the boundaries and the limitations of what is

  233. holding me until what God promised shows up.

  234. OK, this is the year. Of a great prison break.

  235. There's a lot of people that are going to break free in the

  236. church and outside the church, but his church needs to get

  237. ready to receive the harvest of the free.

  238. You have to come out. Jesus and his army is here and

  239. now. Every chain is being broken,

  240. every lock is being popped, every noose is being snapped.

  241. Tell hell it's a wrap. I'm not taking it no more.

  242. I can't stand here and watch me go down the way it went down in

  243. 2024. It's not the way it's about to

  244. go up in 2025. Coming to church is not my New

  245. Year's resolution. It is my New Year's solution.

  246. I'm not playing around with my life or with you.

  247. This is my time. This is my year.

  248. I've overcome too much. I've wiped too wiped too many

  249. tears. I've endured too much pain.

  250. I fought off the spirit of death for too long.

  251. I've been waiting for this year to come.

  252. And this is the year and I'm stepping in it.

  253. This year is my year and time of manifested transformation.

  254. This is not the year I declare my change.

  255. This is the year I see my change.

  256. I'm talking to a few more people.

  257. This is the year I will see. Favor in my home, in my family,

  258. this is the. Year for favor in the

  259. marketplace for all you entrepreneurs and and pioneers

  260. this is the year of favor over my finances and over my jobs and

  261. my career this is the. Year God will anoint talents

  262. that have been on your shelf. Yeah, you got to go see what I

  263. talked about, about this word right here.

  264. I've elaborated on everything I'm saying, and I can't do it

  265. right now. This is the year of great

  266. wonder. This is the.

  267. Year of monumental moments and generational momentum What God

  268. is going to do this year is a momentum to carry you into the

  269. next 5 to 10 generations. This is your wholeness is

  270. restored. This is the year for some of you

  271. of exceptional productivity. You're going to do more this

  272. year with greater efficiency and you're going to get more done

  273. here, here, Here's the here's the icing on the cake, and

  274. you're going to be less stressed getting more.

  275. Done. Now, now I want you to say some

  276. may say, well, well, can you read me some scripture?

  277. This is all scripture. You need to read scripture,

  278. right? Because then you would know I'm

  279. reading scripture. You would know these are

  280. promises in the Bible. That's here.

  281. Here it maybe it's not yours, but it's mines.

  282. OK, so you read the words. So when I'm not putting up a

  283. point up there, you don't think I'm not reading the Bible?

  284. OK, I am reading the Bible prophetically.

  285. So you got to catch it. You cannot intellectualize this

  286. word because it's a prophetic release.

  287. So you have to have your prophetic hearing aid on.

  288. Hallelujah. OK, that was the teacher.

  289. Now I'm about to get back in the prophetic zone right now.

  290. OK, OK. People will run with vision for

  291. for all my leaders who have employees who have help around

  292. them, who have friends who's looking to start businesses and,

  293. and, and believers that are leaders and things of that

  294. nature. People will run with the vision

  295. without a need to compel them. I don't know, but maybe I'm the

  296. only leader in here who have had to beg people to help or beg

  297. people to come to church or beg people to give.

  298. It's always a compel. Let everything that has breath

  299. praise the Lord woo like there there's going to be a wave where

  300. I'm where I'm I'm going to be able to walk out here and I

  301. don't have to you. You guys are compelling each

  302. other through your praise. The worship team don't got to

  303. tell you what to do. There's going to be.

  304. We're stepping into a time where people are going to run with the

  305. vision that you have been sharing without you having to

  306. kill yourself to get people forward.

  307. This is the year of the Shekinah glory.

  308. For those that don't know what that is, that is the manifested

  309. presence of God. OK, but also this is the year

  310. God's turning some tables. This is the year of greater

  311. anointing, greater exploits. And I didn't say this in the

  312. earlier experience, but we will see the the the gift of faith

  313. increased in the body of Christ. If you want to know what the

  314. gift of faith is, go, go purchase the book after service

  315. that your boy put together and take the crown class and you

  316. understand what the gift of faith is.

  317. But that's in the Bible too. Visitations of the glory of God

  318. that is going to send people running with questions and his

  319. church better have answers. They're coming to interrupt you

  320. and your schedules because it's not just your time.

  321. What is their time? OK, God is restoring order in

  322. every area. You want wholeness this year,

  323. it's yours. But.

  324. Every word that I just. Released to you and there's

  325. more, but you don't have to go listen or watch.

  326. Every word that I release to you requires positioning.

  327. I'm sorry, but you can't stay the same but get the new you.

  328. You can't think the same. You can't have the same nasty

  329. attitude. You can't be easily offended.

  330. You can't have spotty church attendance.

  331. You can't not want to give. You can't.

  332. Keep some of the same. Friends and think you're going

  333. to walk in this greater. I'm here to tell you this, this

  334. this afternoon it's yours. But some change is required, and

  335. there's more change for some than it is.

  336. Others. But everything that God is

  337. saying to you, it's yours. Got to hear it.

  338. It's done. It's awaiting you, but you have

  339. to be willing to live a life of obedience.

  340. If you were not here for the New Year's Eve message when we

  341. released the word for the year, here it is. 2025 is the year of

  342. the fear of God. Every single year and all over

  343. the place, we get a word for the year that's about us.

  344. It's the year increase this the year overflow this the year of

  345. abundance this the year of elevation this the year and we

  346. shout about it. But then here's the key to

  347. everything God has for you every if every, every, every, every.

  348. Can you go back to the other slide because we didn't go there

  349. yet. You did not hear fall.

  350. Come out my mouth yet not. Amen.

  351. Press, press down, shaken together.

  352. Wherever that came out. My spirit.

  353. Amen. Did you listen?

  354. What was I saying? They they didn't got me

  355. distracted. What was I saying?

  356. Forget it all. From from Genesis to Revelation

  357. you see the spirit of the fear of God.

  358. Even if in the. Scripture.

  359. It ain't the spirit of fear of God.

  360. Abraham went to sacrifice his son.

  361. Only way he's going to sacrifice his son is because he has the

  362. reverence of God. Noah would not have abandoned

  363. friends or Co workers or community and built the ark

  364. unless he Revere God. The fear of God is everything.

  365. When you see Jesus, everything he did, he said it's to bring my

  366. father. What glory.

  367. And I'm telling you the key to your success in this life is the

  368. fear of God. You can't do it these last days.

  369. You will not make it without the fear of God.

  370. And it's crazy how we got the the clothing line is blowing up

  371. in it, but the church ain't. You go buy, you go spend $150.00

  372. for a T-shirt, they'll say the fear of God on it.

  373. How many people got the fear of God gear and don't fear God?

  374. You phony for real. You fake you wearing the fear of

  375. God for cultural relevance, but it ain't in your heart.

  376. So you didn't hopped on this counterfeit train.

  377. As a believer, I didn't see the fear of God in your life till I

  378. saw your sweater. I'm I'm so serious right now,

  379. you guys, because some of the struggles the world is having is

  380. because it's some of the struggles the church has

  381. happened. Some of the family members you

  382. got that struggling is because you don't fear God.

  383. They see you go to church because you love God and you

  384. need God, but you don't fear God.

  385. They don't see you walking holy if they push you, but they see

  386. they they hear your mouth at family functions.

  387. They see how much you gossip, they see how much you complain.

  388. You don't fear God. When you fear God.

  389. No one has to beg you to obey God.

  390. No one has to ask you to serve. No one has to ask you to give.

  391. No one has to ask you to lift your hands up.

  392. I'm not asking you to lift your hands up because it's my thing.

  393. We did in America and God asked me to transport lifting hands to

  394. Canada. Lifting your hands is in the

  395. Bible. The Bible is noisy.

  396. Symbols are in the Bible, horns, trumpets in the Bible, walls

  397. came down because someone shouted.

  398. And it is almost like anybody asks you to do anything

  399. biblical. You turn it to that ain't me, I

  400. know it ain't you. It's Bible.

  401. God didn't have obedience is not you doing you, the obedience is

  402. you doing Bible. Nobody really up in here because

  403. of us. We all up in here because God

  404. said come, right. But we're at a time in life

  405. where, where, where the world our light is at jeopardy.

  406. It's time to take the lampshade off.

  407. And when we understand the fear of God, it's the key to the

  408. beginning of wisdom. The beginning.

  409. What does the beginning mean? The start, it means it's at the

  410. beginning of wisdom is what the fear meaning.

  411. If I don't fear God, there's some wisdom that I ain't even

  412. tapped into. So what have I been making

  413. decisions off of? How did people be so successful

  414. when there wasn't YouTube, when there wasn't social media, when

  415. there wasn't cameras, when there wasn't phones, when they just

  416. had a donkey and a camel and they had some other stuff?

  417. How did they hear God? How did they walk with God?

  418. How did they? How did it get to here?

  419. How did it get BC to AC? And we are in a generation where

  420. the movement of walking with God is stopping.

  421. You want to hear from God, but you don't want to walk with

  422. them. And if you walk with him, you

  423. can hear him, 'cause you, He says, my sheep, my children,

  424. they know my voice, which lets me know you.

  425. If you're truly following him, you never not know when he

  426. starts. He says, my true children know

  427. my voice. I don't care.

  428. You a parent, your kid get a little, little ways from you.

  429. Look, look, even as the shepherd of this house, I could be in my

  430. office and there are certain people in here, man, if they

  431. laugh, if they talk and they out here, I know exactly.

  432. Who it is that's special to me to be able to not see your face.

  433. But because we do life together, and because God has knitted us

  434. together, I know you by your voice.

  435. You could be out here talking to 30 people.

  436. I know who laughing, I know who talking, I know even if you'd

  437. acquired her one in the group, because there's I know your.

  438. Voice. The Father knows that I know.

  439. I don't know how many hairs you got on your head, but God does.

  440. But here's the thing, why are you struggling to hear it?

  441. Tell me the last time you know you heard from God.

  442. Tell me and you know it was God. Tell me the last time I'm not

  443. talking about it was kind of God or assume it was God.

  444. Tell me the last time you know you heard from God.

  445. How are we going to be a church? That don't hear God.

  446. And how have we come so satisfied with someone just

  447. reading some scripture to us? And we have community groups and

  448. all that. And there's churches that do not

  449. hear from God. They hear Scripture, but but

  450. it's not translated to what God is saying today.

  451. Read scripture, please. But you should do that on your

  452. own man. Shall not live by logos alone,

  453. but by every word that proceeds out of Rhema.

  454. Like there's this call to constantly stay tuned in the

  455. God's voice. Abraham God said go kill your

  456. son. Abraham went to kill his son and

  457. God said don't kill your son. And some of us are killing stuff

  458. because we stop listening that go.

  459. And some of us or keeping stuff alive because we stop listening

  460. that go. Yeah, God said go to that city.

  461. God said, hey, go to that coffee meeting.

  462. He didn't say marry the person. You stop listening.

  463. I'm I'm sorry, but when you walk with God, it's an open

  464. conversation that never ends. And if we're in a time where

  465. there's false prophets, you tell me, if all you need is signs and

  466. wonders to know is God, then how are you going to differentiate

  467. with the false prophets who have signs and wonders?

  468. Yeah, you can't hear from God having forty favorite YouTube

  469. influencers and different churches you listening to and

  470. all that, man, God knows what you need.

  471. And if Love Quest ain't where you supposed to be, and if we

  472. ain't supposed to be your pastors, please do me a favor

  473. and yourself a favor, and your kids and your family find the

  474. place you're supposed to be because God is going to speak to

  475. you there and He's going to grow you there.

  476. This is the. Year of the fear of God.

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

  478. The fog for those that didn't know, Because I was surprised

  479. how many people didn't know what the fog was after I said this is

  480. the year of the fear of God. Fear F of Oh God Gee, this is

  481. the year of the fear of God. This is not a cloudy season

  482. where we can't see. We're not entering into a fog of

  483. a season of obscurity. This is just an acronym for the

  484. Fear of. God, it's the essential key,

  485. essential key, our seeking stops.

  486. When our fear and our reverence stops.

  487. So we we started seeking Him first, but now we seeking him

  488. third. It's easy to see God first when

  489. you need them, like need them, need them.

  490. But when are you just going to turn that other switch off and

  491. understand you always need them? What if this was the year?

  492. Everything changed for you. I received that for me.

  493. You like man things? Have been changing.

  494. I'm talking about they going to keep changing.

  495. But again, this is the year you going to see the change and the

  496. people around you are going to see the change.

  497. Here it is the glory of God that has been promised to be upon us

  498. is coming to inject and inspect. OK, he's going to inject

  499. everything he promised blessing overflow abundance is coming in

  500. so fast you're going to barely be able to handle it.

  501. But he's also see This is why people I don't know if really

  502. ready for revival because revival ain't about legs growing

  503. in the blind sin. No, sometimes revival looks like

  504. he's coming to inspect true revival.

  505. True revival. Somebody say true revival, it

  506. leads to repentance. True revival is not a flood of

  507. promises showing up. The promises don't aren't

  508. flooding in. They've already been given.

  509. Repentance happens and then you are LED into what God?

  510. It can't, it just happens. Promise the promises know who

  511. it's been promised to. The promises has your address.

  512. That's why when you ain't in your authentic home, it can't

  513. find you. OK, everything that God promised

  514. began to happen in my life. Like, yeah, see, see, here it

  515. is. You ready?

  516. There's some blessings you have strictly off of grace, and then

  517. there's stuff you get off a. Sonship, that's not the message

  518. today, but it was good for somebody.

  519. OK, here it is. So you got to be aware of the

  520. side effects of glory, the side effects of glory.

  521. Often when we hear glory in a year like this, Oh my,

  522. everything going to change around my healing coming in.

  523. No, but when it shows up the glory has a heads and a tails.

  524. Everything got two sides of it and most of the time we focus on

  525. the one side of it. We focus on the blessing.

  526. We focus on the spouse, not the drama that come with the spouse.

  527. We want kids and they cute, but then when them kids, we not

  528. focus on the problems kids bring.

  529. We want that new career, but we're not ready for the

  530. responsibility. We want that Bentley or that

  531. that Lambo, but we don't understand what it takes to to

  532. take care of a Lambo. The oil prices go up, right?

  533. We just so we working for the money to get one, but we aren't

  534. prepared to have one. So you walking around with this

  535. big old chandelier in your little 500 square foot apartment

  536. because you just want to be blessed.

  537. Hebrews 12 Here we is unlike your ancestors.

  538. Listen closely. You didn't come to Mount Sinai,

  539. all that volcanic blaze and earth shaking rumble to hear God

  540. speak. You didn't.

  541. You didn't have to hear God speak in the dramatic fashion.

  542. They had to bless you. Hallelujah.

  543. Ear splitting words and soul shaking message terrified them

  544. and they begged him. To stop when they heard the

  545. words. Man, when's the last time God's

  546. word shook? You see reverences this thing,

  547. man, when you got it, this is what protects you.

  548. This is what brings peace in your life.

  549. This is what gets you to unshakable and immovable.

  550. See, we got a lot of churches that are built off of the fear

  551. of man, not the fear of God. That's why we if we're not

  552. careful, we try to find churches that will will will fit our

  553. needs and prerequisites and things of that nature.

  554. And it says when they heard the words look.

  555. Here's the words. If an animal touches the

  556. mountain, it's as good as dead. These are holy moments these

  557. folks couldn't play with. Stop playing with God.

  558. Now here we are because we think it's Old Testament that was this

  559. the crazy St. Time.

  560. No, no, no, no, no, no. Here you go.

  561. This is what you got. I, I I need y'all to hear this.

  562. And we about to see this because we're under grace and God don't

  563. got to deal with us how he dealt with them.

  564. We're actually held more accountable as a New Testament

  565. believer. They didn't have 66 books.

  566. They weren't infilled with the Holy Ghost.

  567. They weren't walking with the word with Jesus.

  568. We not only got the word on pages, we got the word in US.

  569. He says it's as good as dead. They they were afraid to move,

  570. afraid to move, say somebody say afraid to move.

  571. Even Moses was terrified. This is not the terrification of

  572. God. You understand what I'm saying?

  573. This is not. The terror of God?

  574. No, that's not your experience at all, is it?

  575. When's the last time you heard the earth open and swallowed up

  576. folks? That was the move of God.

  577. It's in the Bible. It's in the Bible.

  578. OK. Red Sea.

  579. Parton. When's the last time you saw

  580. y'all saw all the Vancouverites running into the cold water?

  581. How many people was out there on set?

  582. That's OK. That that that He was like, hey,

  583. it's all good. Only one.

  584. Amen. Hallelujah.

  585. Hallelujah. 2. I knew you was out there.

  586. You didn't have to raise your hand.

  587. There you go. Right, You got all them, all

  588. those souls out there gathered, right?

  589. It's a cold plunge. No, that's that's.

  590. Not your experience. At all is it?

  591. You've come to Mount Sinai, the city where the living God

  592. resides. This is talking about this

  593. unseen city, the unseen church that the New Testament gets, the

  594. experience, Hebrews says. I'm not building temple houses

  595. that man can build. I'm living in my people now, OK?

  596. The invisible Jerusalem is populated by throngs of festive

  597. angels and Christian citizens. It is the city where God is.

  598. Judged. Here it is.

  599. This is this invisible. See, I remember I gave you those

  600. seven points earlier. This is what this is from.

  601. That's what this was describing, this unseen realm, because it's

  602. no longer the New Testament. The Old Testament was all

  603. shadows and types. So the Old Testament was

  604. pointing to a king and his Kingdom coming.

  605. The prophet foretold about it is all shadows and types.

  606. OK, so the Promised land in the Old Testament was really talking

  607. about the coming of the Holy Ghost.

  608. So there was a physical promised land that the people entered in,

  609. and then there was a promised land that entered the people in

  610. the New Testament. With judgments that make us

  611. just, you've come to Jesus, who presents us with a new covenant.

  612. The Bible says it's a better covenant.

  613. A fresh charter from God. He is the mediator of this

  614. covenant. The murder of Jesus, unlike

  615. Abel's, a homicide that cried out for vengeance, became a

  616. proclamation of grace. So this, the blood that spilled

  617. on the streets, it's pointing to a savior coming.

  618. OK, one was vengeance, the other is grace.

  619. OK, Abraham makes this transaction with God and he goes

  620. to sacrifice his only begotten son.

  621. He gets there to do it. God says no, no, no, no, no, no,

  622. no. Now I know I found a man in the

  623. earth that is willing to give his best.

  624. Now I'll provide my son how many things God's asking you to do

  625. that other generations need you to bow to.

  626. So, so, so, so, so. Don't turn a deaf ear to these

  627. gracious words. If those who ignored earthly

  628. warnings hear it didn't get away with it, what will happen to?

  629. Us if we turn our backs on heavenly warnings.

  630. Listen, people, if you hear New Year's Eve, we read Earth, We

  631. read earthly warnings. What are those?

  632. Earthquakes in diverse places? Wars and rumors of wars.

  633. We see the church turning on itself.

  634. We see kingdoms fighting. Kingdoms all the site.

  635. This is why it's dangerous to sit in a church that ain't got

  636. no sons and Issachar in there and all you're doing is just

  637. getting fat with education and you know where Bethlehem was and

  638. you got your little prayers Shaw and some oil on your desk, but

  639. Jesus don't know you and you don't know Jesus.

  640. You got oil that represents the Holy Ghost, but you ain't got

  641. the Holy Ghost. He says man, y'all this New

  642. Testament church, we better stop playing.

  643. He says his voice that time shook the earth to its

  644. foundations. Somebody say this time?

  645. Oh, and say, this time our time. He's told us this quite plainly.

  646. He'll also rock the heavens. We're we're a part.

  647. Of this one last shaking, guys, we're part of this one last

  648. shaking. What if I told you that you and

  649. the body of Christ is God's response to the darkness of our

  650. time? Some of you don't want to have

  651. nothing to do with it. Did you get saved just for you?

  652. You're going to keep playing church, keep playing with God.

  653. You're going to keep drinking the drink, smoking the smoke,

  654. watching the porn. You're going to keep cussing

  655. folks out. You're going to keep making

  656. excuses. You're going to keep depending

  657. on other people. You're going to keep listening

  658. to your family instead of God. What, like what, what is the

  659. excuse going to be because you are going to be held accountable

  660. and God doesn't cash in excuses. It's in the Bible guys.

  661. It says the the phrase one it says one last shaking from top

  662. to bottom. That's everything.

  663. That's the house, that's the church.

  664. That's why we're seeing churches crumble.

  665. Pastors fault. You're going to see more and

  666. more churches that aren't equipped for the last days.

  667. These are smart pastors and boards.

  668. They're folding into other churches, meaning they're taking

  669. everything in their bank account.

  670. They've. Prayed diligently about who to

  671. take over the church and they're folding their church into

  672. another church still serving God, but no longer the lead

  673. pastors and no longer standing as that church alone.

  674. They're they're joining other churches and you're going to see

  675. more churches have like 5 lead pastors.

  676. That's a model. But why 5?

  677. Why 6? Why 3?

  678. It's OK to have a lead pastor and other fivefold ministry

  679. gifts. But here you understand this, a

  680. pastor doesn't mean you pastor a church.

  681. So you can have a pastoral gift and not start a church or be a

  682. leader of a church. You can be a pastor over

  683. children. You can be a pastor over music.

  684. You can it is pastor is an administrative gift.

  685. It is a gift that helps lead and guide, comfort, counsel, keep

  686. tabs on the body that is called together.

  687. So as God is shaking, there are smart men and women who are

  688. acknowledging my time is up. But some people are tapping out

  689. because what they built or where they got hired, the foundation

  690. cannot stand the test of time. So This is why we can't build

  691. this church according to what you want.

  692. Neither would I want because this church cannot be built on

  693. the fear of man. It has to be built on the fear

  694. of God because there are children will never see that

  695. will Make Love quest their church home.

  696. And then one day we're going to be the cloud of witnesses.

  697. One day we're going to be the wind in their sails.

  698. So what work are you a part of that's thinking about when

  699. you're not here? Because God is not.

  700. He is not stuck at your little time frame of wants and needs.

  701. He's the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.

  702. He's a generational God and you are only a part of the plan He

  703. had for your bloodline. You are only carrying a baton.

  704. You won't finish the race, Jesus will.

  705. Jesus finishes the race for everybody.

  706. You will finish your leg of the race, but Jesus is running

  707. through the eternal ribbon. Says man, I'm shaking this thing

  708. from top to bottom, stem the stern.

  709. You ever be at the airport and you get called to secondary

  710. security and they go through I'm like, can you at least put

  711. myself back? Like how I had like fold my

  712. clothes, man. I don't say that because I'm,

  713. you know, they kicked me. I don't want to mess nothing up.

  714. Or you ever be a parent, you shake your kids room up or they

  715. shook it up. You ever see a kid shake a room

  716. up? You ever see maybe no one in

  717. here has ever been in trouble with the law, but you ever watch

  718. a movie or a show where FBI law enforcement comes into, they

  719. raid a home and they just tear everything up?

  720. Stem the stern. You could flush you.

  721. You could you could you could try to hide and flush your

  722. bondage down the drain if you want to going to pop back up in

  723. the toilet. It's going to come back up.

  724. Hello, I'm still here. No, no, no, no, no, no.

  725. You got to deal with this stuff, man.

  726. God is not coming. It's not about your sin, your

  727. your, your struggles disappearing.

  728. It's not like you're hoping one day it disappears.

  729. No, you get to know Jesus through the wrestling.

  730. Of oh man, y'all got to go listen to this Morning about the

  731. Lord revealing how he's called some of us to trace the tracks

  732. of our ancestors, only to break it out of our bloodline.

  733. The phrase one last shaking means a thorough house cleaning.

  734. Somebody say thorough getting rid of all the historical and

  735. religious junk so that the unshakable here it is essentials

  736. stand clear and uncluttered. What this world needs to see is

  737. follower of Jesus clear. Not wondering who you follow

  738. because every time you open your mouth it's confusing.

  739. Follow church. COVID comes, I can run there and

  740. get healed. Oh, I know who to call if I'm

  741. troubled with a demon. I know some skilled musicians.

  742. I know people who are focused on the gift God has given them, and

  743. they're giving it to God with all their might.

  744. They're not so spread out that none of their tools are sharp.

  745. This is happening now because if it was happening then when they

  746. wrote this, it's happening now. Here it is.

  747. Do you see what we've got? An unshakeable Kingdom.

  748. Hallelujah. So the Kingdom of God is

  749. unshakeable. The question is, are you on it?

  750. Are you in it? It's the only Kingdom that's

  751. unshakeable. That's why I'm not trying to

  752. change the shakeable Kingdom of the world.

  753. I'm not trying to OK politics, whatever.

  754. Do do your thing. Truth, right, Do your thing,

  755. Donald, whatever. Like, I get it, certain things

  756. aren't preferred. Whatever, pick who you want,

  757. whatever. But man, get that same energy to

  758. the King of King and the Lord of Lords.

  759. Man, you were not saved to carry a political spirit.

  760. You are a citizen of the Kingdom of God.

  761. You have an answer, you have a way, you have a truth, you have.

  762. Justice and do. You see how thankful we must be.

  763. Not only thankful, but brimming with worship deeply reverent

  764. before God. And so folks come in here and

  765. like, wow. This isn't just about songs and

  766. worship time on Sunday. This is a lifestyle, but if the

  767. lifestyle is there, then my it impacts my posture.

  768. You know what I'm saying? You don't have to be all jumpy

  769. like me, but man, you can you man, I can something like I

  770. could like I'm not mad at the person who who not just like

  771. hey, but you, you can't stay still.

  772. You got your little your little leg moving like show me

  773. something like shut tap your foot, do something.

  774. But some of y'all really do you hurt like it, look it look like

  775. it. Hurt, I don't see how you can't

  776. stand in the presence of God. I don't see how you can't like

  777. for God is not indifferent bystander.

  778. He's actively cleaning house torching here it is all that

  779. needs to burn. He's coming, he going to burn it

  780. up and he won't quit until it's all cleansed.

  781. God himself is fire. So like I said on New Year's

  782. Eve, let's just clean up before Dad gets home.

  783. Anybody ever have siblings? I didn't, but I thought it.

  784. I thought this way. My Mama coming home and what she

  785. told me, man, listen, I didn't have my homies.

  786. Come to the house. My Mama answered the door.

  787. No, I answered the door. Hey, what's up?

  788. You bet not. Open that door.

  789. I'm looking through the peephole, talking to my friend.

  790. Hey, what's up? Kid, open the door.

  791. T He ain't coming out. He's still got to clean this

  792. room. She didn't even open the door to

  793. tell him. Then I look back and I'm like,

  794. really? Because I thought because my

  795. friend came over, then we can excuse my chores.

  796. Like I'll get back to it, right? The blessing, the new job, the

  797. new friend can come. But God, you hear me?

  798. The new blessing is not a sign. God moved on from what he asked

  799. you. God bless you because he's a

  800. good friend. He's a good.

  801. Father, he's a covenant man, and you thought because the blessing

  802. came, you've been praying for what He asked you.

  803. He's. Changed his mind.

  804. Maybe God's saying let I'm going to make the first move that I

  805. love you since you may since I got to bless you to try to get

  806. something from you. Let me just bless you because it

  807. don't cost me nothing to get to, to open the door for you or so

  808. go on here and get the new job and any dad's just sitting there

  809. and he don't want anything but his son or daughter.

  810. We can make it all about stuff. But what if God just misses

  811. children? What, what if, what if, what if

  812. you showed up one day and came home and none of your children

  813. was home? OK, let me, let me, let me break

  814. it down to you. Adam showed up in the garden.

  815. Lord showed up in the garden where he put Adam and his son

  816. was gone. And although he knew Adam had

  817. failed, he still went to look for him.

  818. And although he knew that Adam and Eve had to suffer the

  819. consequences of their fruit, he still wanted to talk to him and

  820. say, where'd you go? And then he said, wow, who told

  821. you? Like, wow, like my words wasn't

  822. enough. You still needed a second

  823. opinion. You still needed more

  824. confirmation. You still needed more voices.

  825. That's why you got to be careful saying God give me another sign.

  826. The serpent shows up real quick when you need another sign.

  827. We don't need signs, we need words.

  828. Learn to trust God's word. Not always need a sign right?

  829. That's what psychics need with your new age self.

  830. That that's not of God. God don't need your crystals.

  831. He don't need your dream Nets. He don't need your Ouija boards.

  832. He don't need nothing. He just wants you.

  833. He gave us his word. That's what he stands on.

  834. Signs can change like a back catcher, like a third base

  835. coach. You know, in signs, they give

  836. you a lot of signs, but it's only one that means anything

  837. because I'm trying to just, you got to understand when you walk

  838. with God, like you got to hold to his word because the enemy's

  839. doing this all day, signing, right?

  840. Here's what God does. Go.

  841. Left stop, right rest. And then you married the rhythm

  842. of the voice. And when he paused his voice,

  843. you start getting antsy because even the rhythm has become a

  844. sign. And because God doesn't want you

  845. depending on science, he changes the rhythm.

  846. He just wants his children and kids always.

  847. Like if my kids be like when we eat, Mama when we eat and daddy

  848. wouldn't be quiet, you know it ever been the day you ain't 8 in

  849. 2025. God desires to build an

  850. unshakeable house and unwavering people, immovable Davidic people

  851. and place that stands the test of times.

  852. I'll give you 2 scriptures and we will we will go Matthew 7.

  853. Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter into my to

  854. heaven's Kingdom. OK, once you understand the

  855. Kingdom of heaven, this is God's Kingdom within his people on

  856. earth as it is in heaven, and it's hard to enter his Kingdom

  857. or enter into the life of the Kingdom on earth as it is in

  858. heaven without building your life on the rock.

  859. So if all you wanted to do is get to heaven one day after you

  860. die, you're in there if you receive Jesus.

  861. But if you want to experience all that God has for you on this

  862. life, in this life, and here's what it takes, it is only those

  863. who persist in doing the will of my heavenly Father.

  864. You want to know what the fear of God is?

  865. It's a people that persist in doing the will of my heavenly

  866. Father on the day of judgment. Many will say to me, Lord, Lord,

  867. don't you remember us? Didn't we prophecy in your name?

  868. Didn't we cast out demons? Like didn't we do ministry?

  869. Didn't we do all the religious things that you asked us?

  870. He's like, wow, you thought I came and saved you to get you to

  871. do stuff for me. Here, here's what you got.

  872. As he says, I will have to say to them, Go away from me, you

  873. lawless rebels, meaning disobedient, defiant, not

  874. obeying the word of God, rebels. I've never been joined to you.

  875. Another translation says I never knew you, which lets me know he

  876. wants to know you and you to know him.

  877. He can't he, he can't he. He's saying that how you walk

  878. with him on earth will who? How you walk with him on Earth

  879. will determine how you see Him in eternity.

  880. You ever get in somewhere? You ever get in a club or

  881. something? You're not on the club no more,

  882. but some of y'all still do you ever get into a club or a party

  883. or something off of somebody else's name like VIP or my

  884. cousin hate my my cousin Brownie.

  885. You told us that. He told me to just talk to the

  886. security guard and then you get in there.

  887. But because you ain't Brownie, you don't know nobody.

  888. So you got in off a Brownie name?

  889. But you can't enjoy brownies access, right?

  890. You get in off of Jesus, but you can't experience it the same way

  891. because you don't know. Jesus, all right, all right, all

  892. right. See, and this, this whole trick

  893. of just being satisfied when I die, at least I know where I'm

  894. going. So Jesus has been coming become

  895. insurance. He's not even a savior.

  896. He's insurance because if you. Have the revelation of being

  897. saved. Everyone who hears my teaching

  898. and applies this say apply. Here's what you have to see.

  899. This word applies, says wisdom. Wisdom is the application of

  900. what knowledge. So to apply takes wisdom, but

  901. wisdom, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

  902. So the fear of God impacts my wisdom, and wisdom impacts my

  903. applying of knowledge. Wake.

  904. Day up, wake day up. His eyes may be up, but he did

  905. not a few minutes ago. And in a few minutes he's going

  906. to say PT wake him up. Wake him up.

  907. Hallelujah. Or are you going to bang on

  908. something? But I saw you sleep day.

  909. Come on, wake up. Why?

  910. Come on. It's discipleship.

  911. Discipleship and applies it to his life can be compared to a

  912. wise man who built his house on an unshakeable foundation.

  913. Follow. Come on, somebody say I'm a wise

  914. man. Why are you wise?

  915. Because you applied, all you people who just come to church

  916. and listen to a good word. If I caught you on Tuesday and

  917. asked you about the word on Sunday, could you tell me

  918. anything? All you just people who are

  919. taking in all this revelation in your head.

  920. Thank you. Jesus for the.

  921. Scribes, thank you, Jesus, for the people who actually took

  922. notes when they hang around Jesus.

  923. Yeah. Oh, you.

  924. Smart people, but you. But you can't.

  925. You can't. You can't treat note taking for

  926. revelation like you do an iPad, right?

  927. What if God's asking you to take notes?

  928. Man, look, look, I got to look good. 6060 or so years left,

  929. maybe 50, whatever. But look, when I go, do you know

  930. how many, how much revelation? Forget writing books, how much

  931. revelation my grandchildren, my children, my great

  932. grandchildren, great great grandchildren will have.

  933. If, if, if. 50 years from now they take every Bible, shut down

  934. every Bible app. Do you know how many notes, how

  935. much word my family will have in its bloodline?

  936. What are you doing for your bloodline?

  937. Watching a never save the family.

  938. I just love y'all so much. Here it is.

  939. When the rain fell and the flood came with fierce winds beating

  940. up on it. Look, he just says, you foolish

  941. Ki got to tell you this Lord just said this.

  942. The Lord just said this. Look, I got to tell you this.

  943. It's hard to have wisdom for something you won't write, and

  944. it's hard to apply something you can't find where it's at.

  945. Here it is. The Lord says write the vision

  946. down, make it plain so those that see what you wrote, they

  947. can run with what you wrote, not with what they heard God say.

  948. Do you know that you're not just taking notes for you, but you

  949. are taking notes for God, for people who will seal?

  950. You think I'm playing? How many people read books?

  951. It ain't one book you have not read that wasn't written or you

  952. wouldn't be reading it. Consumers, whoever this is for

  953. you better learn here's here's reverence.

  954. I Revere God's word so much. I will not think that I have the

  955. capacity to hold what heaven is telling me right now.

  956. OK, Bible says, Bible says here, I'm done.

  957. I'm done. Bible says, Bible says that the

  958. enemy comes immediately to steal the word.

  959. OK, I'm a tripart being. I have multiple senses.

  960. OK, ask anybody that that understands what I'm about to

  961. say. If I'm saying it right, my

  962. retention rate from writing or typing is higher than me just

  963. hearing. Why are we going here?

  964. Because we talk about revering God, you better treat His word

  965. like it's worth writing. Hey, you, you, you ever Nicole,

  966. somebody ever came up to you and be like, Hey girl, how you

  967. doing? Can I get your phone number?

  968. And you look back at them like it's 455-6789.

  969. You got that? No.

  970. Guess what happened? Let me get your number.

  971. Or nowadays you even connect your phone, right?

  972. It's documented. So then here it is when I write

  973. my notes, I I can just be like that was Sunday but.

  974. When I go. Back to Monday.

  975. I got it recorded. I'm trying to tell you, I, I

  976. meant, look, I know some very, very smart people in this room.

  977. I applaud you for your intelligence.

  978. I applaud you for your ability to retain information.

  979. I know people are wired different, but I, I promise you,

  980. 100% of you, if you, you, you do not have the capacity to retain

  981. 100% of what you're hearing in this room.

  982. Not when there is a devil working overtime.

  983. See, because some of you, I got to write what was said.

  984. So while I'm digesting and my little smart mind manipulated

  985. and I take it from what was said, I can always go back to

  986. what was said. Some of you want to hear and

  987. process it. Your processor ain't always

  988. lined up with what God is saying.

  989. And some stuff God is saying ain't for you to process.

  990. It's for you to just receive it for what it is because His word

  991. is Spirit. There's some some rooms I've

  992. been in and God has said some things that I have to catch.

  993. I'm not talking about the stuff that says so fast you can't

  994. document it, boy. I'm talking about the stuff.

  995. You just like is it? One thing worth writing, what

  996. does that do when someone comes off the street that's a

  997. professor somewhere, someone that's been an atheist, someone

  998. that's whatever business mogul, whatever, come in here and they

  999. see a room full of students? They see a room full of people

  1000. taking what God is saying serious.

  1001. That's a witness. How many people go to school

  1002. here? Please tell me this are are you

  1003. tested right? Every student in here that's

  1004. tested raise your hand and everybody that said they go to

  1005. school should raise their hand. Or are you not in school if you

  1006. don't get tested? OK, here it is.

  1007. Every student in here that goes to school that gets tested and

  1008. take notes, raise your hand, OK? And if you're a student that

  1009. goes to school and gets tested and you take notes or if you

  1010. don't take notes, you're not a good student.

  1011. OK, let me let me help you right now.

  1012. Just give me a couple students. Just answer this question.

  1013. Why do you take notes? For what?

  1014. For the test, right and and and to what?

  1015. Remember, there's notes you take and when you're preparing for

  1016. the test, you take it off your notes or out of your and you

  1017. write it on. Cards.

  1018. So you're, you are not only writing notes, you are actually

  1019. extracting what you know is important and doubling down on

  1020. the notes. And let me ask you this, do you

  1021. feel that the education that you take, so take so serious and

  1022. prepare for the test in that school to get a piece of paper.

  1023. Can that bachelor's degree guarantee safety, healing,

  1024. household salvage, whatever it is, can it guide you through

  1025. these last days? And if anybody feels like it

  1026. can, please raise your hand. I want to know.

  1027. I could be dumb about some things.

  1028. OK my question to you is why do you feel because my a teacher

  1029. may say take notes but it's also an assumed thing.

  1030. Same way you don't want to waste money, you shouldn't want to

  1031. waste your life. OK.

  1032. Do you think that what you are taking down notes for in class

  1033. has more value than the word of God?

  1034. Serious question. Serious question.

  1035. I don't want a religious answer if you think so if you, you

  1036. could be like no, I need to take notes because man, my job, my

  1037. career, depending on it, I got to answer for that.

  1038. But that's honest. So what makes you think and when

  1039. you come in this room and God has hand picked teachers that

  1040. have went before you and spent time understand this, you have

  1041. professors that are teaching you from their education, but

  1042. they're also within a curriculum that they have to give you based

  1043. on a world system. And there's some teachers

  1044. teaching y'all stuff that they don't want to teach y'all, but

  1045. they have to. God has hand picked people in

  1046. your life for your life that go before Him and pull down things

  1047. from heaven. And he shows up as teacher,

  1048. pastor, prophet, apostle, evangelist, whatever it may be,

  1049. he shows up. Within that man or woman, really

  1050. Jesus in the form of those gifts.

  1051. And he is talking to you through.

  1052. Can you please understand how it empowers a professor to watch

  1053. her students taking notes while he or she is talking?

  1054. Understand what happens when you show interest and place value on

  1055. what God is saying to you. How it opens the door for more.

  1056. Your life is dependent on the word of God.

  1057. You should act like it. May this be a generation that

  1058. really value what God has to say as as much if not more, but at

  1059. least as much as this culture and world has made you value

  1060. education because some of y'all think you don't have a chance to

  1061. make it if you don't go to. School, let me tell you this,

  1062. you don't got a chance to make it if you don't got the word.

  1063. And if you can retain as much as you retain without notes, then

  1064. #1 take notes in an act of saying thank you for my brain #2

  1065. man, how much more would you know if you took notes?

  1066. Every song Love Quest has has written.

  1067. Came from the word that has been preached.

  1068. Stewardship. We want, we go before God.

  1069. Lord, please give us songs. He's like I did.

  1070. Did you take notes in the message Every.

  1071. You will see them over here writing, taking voice memos

  1072. during spontaneous moments. All every song came from a

  1073. moment in a service. You think God's night.

  1074. There will never be writer's block in our church because if

  1075. there's writer's block, that mean there's sermon block.

  1076. As long as the word is alive, we'll never be out of creative

  1077. power. There's songs in here.

  1078. You watch the production, did you?

  1079. If you took notes or if you retained it?

  1080. So much of our songs and so much of the word made-up the scripts.

  1081. To hear Saul go to Paul and they hear Paul say pursue, overtake.

  1082. Man, I felt it like it was really Paul.

  1083. I was like. Oh yeah, it brought a whole new

  1084. life to our mission. But some of you didn't know that

  1085. was our mission. But Paul, Saul went to Paul and

  1086. got on Love Quest mission. I'm telling you for your

  1087. businesses, I'm telling you for songs, I'm telling you for

  1088. books. I'm telling you for your

  1089. marriage. If you keep your pen, if you

  1090. keep your pen ready Bible says like the pen of a ready writer.

  1091. He writes on our heart. You don't understand this action

  1092. is like the Old Testament. New Testament is while you're

  1093. doing this, he's writing it on your heart with an invisible

  1094. pen. So what would happen if you and

  1095. then you begin to echo, repeat the moments that we're like tell

  1096. your neighbor or confess this or when the word comes up, you're

  1097. like. Confessing it I do.

  1098. Stand on a firm foundation. I'm going to say it.

  1099. I'm going to write it. And I'm going to hear me say it.

  1100. I'm going to take the words off of P TS lips and I'm going to

  1101. put them in my mouth and they're going to be my words.

  1102. I'm going to write it. I'm going to see it.

  1103. I'm going to hear it out of my mouth and it's going to become

  1104. my faith. And then guess what?

  1105. I get to do? It transformed me.

  1106. And then I get to me and my son. My son text me the word all the

  1107. time. I remember being in a marital

  1108. counseling moment and we let him sit at the table and then at the

  1109. end of the marital counseling moment, I looked at him.

  1110. I said, do you have anything to offer them?

  1111. Why is that important? Because he can offer that

  1112. husband and wife a point of view from the child that we can't

  1113. offer. How he saw his parents work

  1114. stuff out. So how important is it for your

  1115. kids to see? Y'all work things out in front

  1116. of them. And then we got to a point and

  1117. I, he texts me a word I said. I said you tell them 17 year

  1118. old. Do you know what the word he's

  1119. typing is doing for him? You ready?

  1120. It's maturing him. You know why he takes notes

  1121. though? He sees his mom and his daddy

  1122. doing it. You can pass the money down.

  1123. Are you showing your kids how to follow Jesus?

  1124. So I'm taking notes for him and then when I need encouragement,

  1125. how many times have he texted me the word?

  1126. I have a feeling we won't have to have this conversation with

  1127. some people again. Let this be a house not just of

  1128. miracles you want to experience, but maybe a House of reverence,

  1129. that where God has found a group of people that know how to lean

  1130. into His glory, not just ask for it.

  1131. Lift your hands right where you are.

  1132. We do it because we love you. We say it because we love you.

  1133. I pray you got something out of today.

  1134. You can come take this video. This is the year, the fear of

  1135. God, the spirit of the fear of God.

  1136. And we're going to, we're about to, we're about to dive into

  1137. this thing big time and watch what happens at an accelerated

  1138. rate in this house. We're going to see that the fear

  1139. of God brings health to our lives.

  1140. The fear of God. Brings wisdom to our lives.

  1141. The fear of God brings long life to our lives.

  1142. Here it is and we see it over and over.

  1143. The fear of God impacts the next generation.

  1144. How you walk with God impacts your children.

  1145. It's time that we begin to live for the generations after us,

  1146. not just now. I'll say it's done.

  1147. It is finished. Can this just be a year where

  1148. you really just trust God, even if it's the signs and wonders

  1149. ain't there. Trust God.

  1150. Act like he telling the truth as we start our fast on Tuesday.

  1151. If you've never fasted, it's 21 days.

  1152. Join us. You want more information?

  1153. Follow us on social media, go to our kiosk in the back and ask

  1154. questions. But we're fasting church, and

  1155. we've seen much growth from our church, fasting and praying.

  1156. We will be gathering in person every day, Tuesday through

  1157. Saturday at 6:30 PM, right here for 90 minutes.

  1158. And it will be a time of prophetic intercession, little

  1159. worship, some prayer. We'll be right here Tuesday to

  1160. Saturday, 21 days, Tuesday to Saturday, then the last week

  1161. will be a week of revival where we are just bombarding the gates

  1162. of hell and we are believing for freedom and deliverance and

  1163. breakthrough and it's going to be a good time.

  1164. If you want to know what we're fasting go to the kiosk and or

  1165. follow our social media. It starts Tuesday so get all

  1166. your crazy eating out on today and tomorrow and stick with it.

  1167. Here it is. Don't do your own thing and call

  1168. it the Love Quest fast. Get the rebellion out of your

  1169. fasting and praying. Get the independent spirit out

  1170. of your fasting and praying, OK? You don't need chicken or steak

  1171. to have protein. OK, I need protein.

  1172. All kinds of stuff can get you proteins.

  1173. OK, 21 days, great breakthrough is going to occur.

  1174. We have a lot of announcements to make, so go look at our

  1175. social media tomorrow and you'll see those announcements.

  1176. I don't feel like giving announcements right this second.

  1177. The last one I will give is our prayer structure is going to

  1178. change. We've been inviting people out

  1179. every Saturday for prayer. Folks do not come to prayer.

  1180. And for me, the sign of of the strength of your church is in

  1181. your prayer meetings, not Sunday.

  1182. And so we're not going to keep pouring out oil to people that

  1183. don't value the gathering of prayer with their church.

  1184. So what we're going to do is every first Saturdays, every

  1185. first Saturday, all we're asking you to do is once a month, show

  1186. up to corporate prayer right here.

  1187. There will be communion and there will be prayer and there

  1188. will be some worship. We're not doing communion on

  1189. Sundays anymore. For a while.

  1190. We're doing it on every first Saturday, not every first

  1191. Sunday. Join us, I believe.

  1192. Do we have a time yet? Huh.

  1193. You start in February, but the time will release the time this

  1196. your prayer life, that's who we're inviting to Saturdays.

  1198. If you don't care about growing your prayer life, you don't have

  1199. to come. But on Saturdays you will sign

  1200. up with the elders and they will be doing equipping in prayer and

  1201. praying. You will learn how to pray the

  1202. Word of God. You will learn how to pray in

  1203. faith, and you will learn how to contend for your family, for

  1204. your region, and for yourself. So we'll have more information

  1205. about that. And then January 19th, this is

  1206. important. Is it January 19th?

  1209. and the the the. The ministry where it's just

  1210. like I'm I'm out there and I'm going to miss service.
