-
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International
-
Church podcast, where we seek to love all nations, equip the
-
church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.
-
We're super glad you're joining us from whenever and wherever
-
you're at in the world. Welcome to the family to get
-
your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe
-
some tea, and get ready to receive.
-
It's cold time. Let's get into it.
-
Come. On If you believe that, just
-
lift your hands right where you are.
-
I think I'm in the room with a with a few people who know how
-
to end the year. And yeah, there you go.
-
There you go, claim it. Now, I'm not going to lie to you
-
right now. I really feel like, you know,
-
stirring things up and just because God's been great and I
-
just want to celebrate. But there's just a word that
-
I've been holding for a while and I am going to do my best to
-
articulate it. But I do know, and this is no
-
false humility at all, what I am about to release to you is so
-
above me or you or education or seminary or this is something
-
that you have to catch in your spirit.
-
Has somebody walk up to me earlier and was like PT.
-
Now that I understand how to receive a prophetic word, I am
-
so pumped to receive tonight's word.
-
Last year I didn't know how to hear prophetic words and if you
-
can't hear, you can't receive, right?
-
There's some people came because you just looking for something
-
to do, but when people are like, you know, I, I need to get this
-
word for the new year. I don't know about you, but the
-
word has every every single year.
-
The word that God has given this house has steered the way for
-
every year. That's why there's been no panic
-
in my household because we got a what word?
-
And so for those that are just here to celebrate or you just
-
like I'm just going to, instead of going out like I usually do,
-
I'm just going to go to church and you've come so you can feel
-
good or whatever about yourself. Look, man, that's a great step.
-
But what you need to get is you need to get this word.
-
And I don't care where you're driving back to, flying back to,
-
rowing, back to what? However, you getting back to
-
where you're getting back to, I am telling you this word is for
-
you to take back. If you are here.
-
Tonight there is no coincidence. You're not that, that you're not
-
so in charge of your life that you just here because God didn't
-
have no plan for you. This is your plan in your in
-
your old right mind. You wouldn't be at church
-
tonight. So you are here for a reason.
-
And what I need you guys to do is I need you guys to help the
-
room stay focused. I love kids and it's totally
-
fine. And I and we, we pray for
-
parents and all that, but those that don't have kids don't adopt
-
kids tonight. Let parents be parents because
-
some of y'all be hiding over holding other people's kids and
-
guest services. We don't need 30 people.
-
It ain't raining so we don't need no mopping.
-
I am just really asking you because a word can be life or
-
death for somebody. Put it this way, a word saved me
-
and a word saved humanity. And so take notes.
-
But if you had to choose between taking notes and catching it in
-
your Holy Ghost, your spirit, catch it and then go back and
-
listen and take notes. But I need you guys to pray for
-
me that that I hear efficiently and I deliver what I need to
-
deliver. But I also need you to pray for
-
yourself that you hear in your spirit.
-
Man, I will tell you this. And nobody in this room can
-
afford to have another year like you had, good or bad.
-
Champions know how to move forward from last year's
-
victory. God is about to do something
-
very disruptive in all of our lives for the better.
-
But how you position your life, it can.
-
It can bless you or it can destroy you.
-
Not what God does destroy you. How you handle what God does
-
destroy you. And so, in the presence of God,
-
on this New Year's Eve, let's have a seat.
-
Let me pray first. Father, I thank you for your
-
presence. It is the greatest commodity in
-
humanity. Father, I thank You that you are
-
our friend and we are your friend.
-
Thank you that you are our Father and we are no longer
-
orphans. We are no longer slaves to fear.
-
We are children of the Most High God, the Creator of the heavens
-
and the earth. His mind is on you right now.
-
And Lord, I thank you that you have prepared a word for our
-
next year. Therefore, no matter what
-
happens next year, you've given us a focus.
-
You've given us a word that will not only impact this house
-
corporately, but it is a word that will impact all of our
-
families lives. Well, may we take the word of
-
God serious in 2024. May we not be a generation that
-
just take your word. You're speaking to us for
-
granted. I thank you, Father, that the
-
spirit of revelation is in this house.
-
Yeah, come on, receive that for yourself.
-
Say tonight I have ears to hear better than I've ever heard
-
before. Holy Spirit, quicken, our
-
spirits tonight, deposit in our hearts what we need to hear and
-
what we need to receive, and I declare there.
-
Is a high unusual retention rate of the word tonight that we will
-
be fruitful tonight. I thank you for this word.
-
Lord. Lives will radically be changed.
-
Father, I thank you. This word will calm the storms
-
in our minds. It will give direction, it will
-
give clarity. Yes, your spirits here, and give
-
your servant by the anointing the ability to articulate
-
heavenly language. Come against the spirit of
-
error, any errors, Holy Spirit, I lay my mind, my philosophies,
-
my my, my thinking, my ways down.
-
Give you 100% permission to correct me.
-
Stop me full in my tracks. But I thank you Father, that
-
truth will be spoken boldly, uncompromisingly, and your
-
children will be fruitful. Accelerated fruit in Jesus name,
-
Amen. You could be seated and if you
-
don't mind whispering to your neighbors, say please do not
-
disturb me tonight. I am not playing with my life.
-
And the angels cry holy creation.
-
The willings you'll hide Holy, holy forever hear your people
-
say. To the King of Kings, you will
-
always be holy forever. What?
-
What if this was the year? Everything changed for you Now,
-
one thing I can promise you tonight is I am Hallelujah.
-
Are you going to have to come back up?
-
Are you going to have to come back up?
-
All right, all right, all right. One thing I can promise you
-
about tonight. I have a lot of reading to do,
-
OK. And that's hard for me because I
-
love to leave my iPad and, and, and just flow.
-
But I do understand the importance and urgency of
-
tonight's word. And this is for 100% of the
-
hearers and the babies. The word will be imparted.
-
I'll say that again. The babies that can't sit up and
-
take notes and understand like you.
-
This word will be imparted into their spirits.
-
What if this was the year everything changed?
-
Matthew 7 says Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord will
-
enter into heaven's Kingdom. It is only those who persist in
-
doing the will of my heavenly Father.
-
Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord will enter into
-
heaven's Kingdom. Some people abuse this and says
-
not everyone will make it to heaven.
-
Right here we're not talking about eternal life.
-
We're talking about heaven on earth, the Kingdom of heaven,
-
the good life that God promised you while you are living on this
-
side. Not everyone who goes to church,
-
not everyone who is a born again believer.
-
It is those that persist to do the will of God, not just go to
-
church. Lots of Christians, not a lot of
-
followers. I got to stay.
-
I got to stay. 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 and do
-
many miracles in your name? But I will have to say, what did
-
Jesus say? I'll have to say I, I can't
-
change up. I can't switch up, although we
-
will see each other face to face and that will be a good day.
-
I will have to say to you, go away from me, you lawless
-
rebels. I've never been joined to you
-
now. Now, on one end you could think
-
that he's talking about sinners, meaning the lost, the ones that
-
refuse to follow him. But often in the Bible, the Old
-
Testament calls the word the law, and we got a lot of lawless
-
Christians, meaning you don't follow the word.
-
So there's going to be a lot of people show up and say, hey, I
-
went to church in your name. Hey, I prayed in the parking lot
-
in your name. Hey, I even prophesied to people
-
in your name, He going to say, but you never obeyed anything I
-
asked. Obeying His word joins us at the
-
hip with Him. Everyone who hears my teaching,
-
here it is and applies to His life can be compared to a what
-
wise man or woman who built his or her house on an unshakable
-
foundation? Here is the keyword.
-
I underlined it for you. Everyone who hears come to
-
church, get a word and then what apply?
-
What counts apply what? What count applies?
-
Come on. We got to slow it down and
-
really stop playing church. Now he says here's and what
-
apply shout it out, apply, shout it out one more time.
-
Applies to his life, not his spouse life.
-
You know how you like to get a word and share it with somebody?
-
You know how you tell somebody I wish you was at church today the
-
word was good. You know how you text people on
-
the way? Oh my God, you should have been
-
here today. No, get the word.
-
Oh who here and applies it to his life can be compared to a
-
what wise man or woman who built his house on an unshakable
-
somebody say unshakable when the rains fell and the flood came
-
with fierce winds boom boom boom boom beating I I I I italicize
-
this word beating because the rain just didn't pass through
-
the rain came and test your foundation.
-
It's beating it's shaking the sea.
-
If you really the real deal stood firm because of its strong
-
foundation. It stood firm because of its
-
strong foundation. But but everyone who hears my
-
teaching and does not apply to his or her life can be compared
-
to a foolish man or woman who built his house on sand when it
-
rained and rained and the flood came with wind and waves beating
-
up on his house. It what collapsed and was swept
-
away. One translation says great was
-
it's fall because ain't nothing worse than somebody that's
-
always coming to church, always getting prayer, always on the
-
prayer calls, but do not apply the word great is your fault
-
right? The fall is longer when the when
-
you when you got that chance versus the world they already in
-
fall. They don't got too far to fall
-
because they didn't already what fail but you?
-
He says by the time Jesus finished speaking, the crowds
-
were awestruck. Somebody say awestruck 2 times
-
by his teaching because here it is.
-
His words carried such great authority, quite unlike the
-
religious folks. You know, you know, you know,
-
some of us has said in these churches that are great
-
Christian churches, big great teaching and then somebody come
-
along one day and preach with some anointing and authority and
-
that's what he's saying. He reading the same scroll, but
-
there's authority on this thing said the people was awestruck.
-
Somebody say awestruck 2 times. When's the last time you've been
-
awestruck by the word of God? Keep going PT.
-
You see how like I need a chair or a leash or something on here?
-
In 2025 when God comes to inspect?
-
In 2025, when God comes and inspect, what will the meters of
-
your foundation read? Rather, you've been building or
-
not, you've had building time. In 2025, God desires to build an
-
unshakable house church. Too many of His churches or
-
houses are falling. Buildings, communities and
-
houses, leaders, Christians, priests falling.
-
Hey, you might be like I ain't falling away, but you lukewarm
-
your temperature then went down or has it ever been up?
-
Hallelujah, unwavering. God is trying to build and he,
-
he is building unwavering, immovable Davidic people and
-
place places that stands the test of the times.
-
You know what God's interested in, in these, in, in this, in
-
this, in this next season, in the season, actually now, but
-
moving forward is building houses that can last the test of
-
times where we're heading. There's too many fragile
-
believers. There's too many timid
-
believers. There's too many offended
-
believers. We we don't, we church hop.
-
Hop from a church that's dead. Don't hop from a church that's
-
holding you accountable. Right.
-
We'd rather sit in a dead 1 then go somewhere that will challenge
-
us. But God is telling us, man,
-
accountability is what will cause us to stand the test of
-
time. In 2025 it's a you guys got to
-
follow me. Please follow me follow it help
-
it will help me articulate. It will help me articulate very
-
well. It's a time of divine design.
-
The power of God, hear me, will rest on and in houses and a
-
people here it is that pattern their lives after the Davidic
-
design of the Kingdom of God. Just doing religion and just
-
doing church. It will get people to heaven,
-
but it will not get heaven into people's lives.
-
Come on. Did my chapstick roll away?
-
All right, all right. I don't play with my chapstick.
-
Somebody you got that? I'll buy you one if you get that
-
one for me. Thank you, Sir.
-
Appreciate it, Sir. Here it is, here it is, here it
-
is even this language right here like you, you really got
-
churches that fight against or don't accept or not even open to
-
five fold ministry. I'm not, I'm not.
-
I can't go there right now. But but, but please understand
-
what I'm telling you. My God is not surprised by the
-
darkness of today. My God, before it even got dark,
-
gave his church a strategy. He gave us order, He gave us
-
format, He gave us divine design and we're trying to do it all by
-
man's design. I remember we planted this
-
church and I remember the Lord's very clear.
-
I didn't read but I I had read Church plant means that church
-
planting movement sticky. Church and.
-
Purpose driven this and you can go find all kind of books on how
-
to plant a church. Well, that's an American author.
-
How, how how how are you going to tell me how to plant in BC?
-
Right. What where to me like where's
-
the depending on the Holy Ghost to plant when he the one started
-
the church? I'm not saying don't read, but
-
we're reading other we're trying to get other we're we're we're
-
we're trying to get other people's patterns, other
-
people's strategies versus depending on the one who started
-
the thing and supposedly called us.
-
OK, keep going PT in 2025. It is not a time of divine
-
decor. OK, let me explain.
-
It's not about looking or playing the part, it is about
-
being the part threaded into the fabric of the Davidic nature and
-
DNA of God's Kingdom. Divine design, not Decor.
-
We not just about to act church. We not just about to look
-
bright. We not just about to say we
-
saved by faith in Jesus name. No, we are going to be in the
-
very fabric of what God is doing.
-
First Chronicles, follow me. David was thinking somebody say
-
Davidic David was it's right here.
-
David was thinking, my son Solomon is too young to plan
-
ahead for this, but the sanctuary that is to be built
-
for God has to be the greatest. The talk of all the nations.
-
Hear me out before we go forward.
-
David had a burn in his heart to build God a temple.
-
And then the prophet Nathan, he told him and he said, David,
-
whatever's in your heart, go do it.
-
The prophet lays down. God gives him a dream.
-
Here it is. And although David had the
-
passion, the conviction and he had the burn, God told the
-
prophet Nathan, he said, tell him he won't be the one to build
-
it. Do you know how heartbreaking
-
that would be? He he says he will not be the
-
one to build it, but here it is. It had to be built in his
-
lineage, OK. OK.
-
It it just wasn't any bloodline it had because God had a plan to
-
redeem his people. So the temple had to be built in
-
the bloodline of David. Here it is, here it is.
-
But the sanctuary that is to be built for God, it has to be the
-
greatest, It has to be the talk of the nation.
-
This, this house can't just be another building, another church
-
service, another people. It just can't.
-
What God is trying to do, it just can't.
-
Just like you are the sanctuary of God, you can't just settle to
-
be just another this or another that.
-
God didn't move me into BC to be another pastor.
-
I will move back home. And me and God and God know that
-
too. It's the part of our comment
-
y'all don't need. No more pastors, no more
-
teachers, no more church buildings, no more churches, no
-
more theological seminaries. Y'all let this country got
-
enough. You don't need another book.
-
Don't need another prophetic conference.
-
Here's the crazy part, when it's your time, it's your time.
-
Even if somebody else has the vision for it, stay right here.
-
So so I'll get the construction. Here's David talking to his son.
-
He having a one-on-one talk. So I'll get the construction
-
materials together. That that's why David prepared
-
this huge stockpile of building materials before he died.
-
That that was that was David's. That was David's leg of the
-
race. That was his part.
-
Follow me. Then he called in Solomon his
-
son and commanded him to build a sanctuary for the God of Israel.
-
David said to Solomon, I wanted I wanted in the worst way to to
-
to build a sanctuary to honor my God.
-
Y'all think we building this building, Nick?
-
Y'all think we doing all of this because we just need a home?
-
If you, I'm sitting there getting this message ready today
-
and I'm like, God, if I don't do nothing else in my life, I want
-
a home for you. Come on.
-
Amen. I want a place where you can
-
live. I want a place where your lost
-
sons and daughters can come and encounter you tangibly.
-
People just walk in the building and just sit around.
-
And there is no reverence in the North American church.
-
Guess we got to be somewhere where we in poverty and in
-
orphanages and our parents die of age.
-
Maybe we need this. But, but, but, but there's no
-
type of urgency. There's no type of hunger.
-
You can't find it. We just casually just walk in
-
and walk in and just hey, and like, not man, this, this is the
-
King's house and This is why we are in this holding cell.
-
Before we walk over there. I'm trying to tell you when we
-
walk over there, you ain't going to be able to walk in the same.
-
If you do, you're going to encounter something for real.
-
This thing next door, it's not another building.
-
Build a sanctuary to honor my God.
-
But God prevented me saying here it is.
-
You killed too many people, you fought too many wars.
-
You are not the one to honor me by building a sanctuary.
-
Now if we hear this conversation, we'd be like, wait
-
a minute, how is Jesus son of David?
-
Why is he rebuilding? This is not just Old Testament.
-
This is in the book of Acts and Acts 15, right?
-
The there's a, there's a David had the divine design.
-
David had the strategy. He had the, the, the, the, the,
-
the model, but his son had to build the house to put the model
-
in. But but God prevented me.
-
He said you killed too many people.
-
You've been responsible for too much killing, too much
-
bloodshed. But you are going to have a son
-
and he will be a quiet and peaceful man.
-
And I will calm his enemies down on all sides.
-
His very name will speak peace. That is Solomon, which means
-
peace. We know somebody else by that
-
name. Peace, Prince of Peace.
-
Here it is. Here it is.
-
I want you, he said. The person whose house, the
-
person who I'm choosing to build my house has to be their name,
-
has to represent peace. See this this message right
-
here, I guess started in me long time ago when I had thousands,
-
not not thousands, hundreds of just form formats of names,
-
formulas and different. And God landed on love quest and
-
he said at the international churches at the time where you
-
know, I grew up in Saint John Missionary Baptist Church, real
-
long name. Then there's this movement where
-
it's just one name River church, right?
-
Fire Church, right? It's all trendy stuff.
-
Is this we we we got to make it easy to say right now and what
-
God said he said no, you going to name it Love Quest
-
International Church because the place that you are in, I mean,
-
when people just read the name, they already even consider there
-
may be a place for them. OK, OK.
-
And then he said no, you going to call it love?
-
I know, I know it seems cliche, but I am going to restore store
-
the name of love through this ministry.
-
And then he says, and then he and then he goes.
-
He said you can make it long because people going to call it
-
what they want to call it anyway.
-
This is my house. So you're not naming it.
-
For. Trends and likes and easy to say
-
we didn't love Quest Nation luck where with all LQIC we we, we
-
going to call it what we going to call it.
-
And I'll give peace and rest under his roof.
-
I'll give peace and rest under his roof.
-
He will be the one to build a sanctuary in my honor.
-
He'll he'll be my royal adopted son and I'll be his boy.
-
You get listen, you get, you get real when you get God's
-
attention when you want to build him a house.
-
I know he's the one that calls the people to do that.
-
But when you got a heart to say God, I will do whatever it takes
-
to get you a house. The one we not sharing with the
-
club. We not No, no, no.
-
It's nothing wrong with that. To each his own, but when you
-
start telling your father he can come home and I'll I'll make
-
I'll make sure that the authority here it is of his
-
Kingdom. Please pay attention.
-
His authority of his Kingdom over Israel last for what does
-
forever mean? So that means that throughout
-
generations, that means there's a pattern that he, there's
-
something he's building that every generation should pay
-
attention to, right? There's not one generation that
-
is in a time of history that don't have a pattern or a
-
strategy to combat the darkness of that time.
-
So so now, son God be with you David telling now son God be
-
with you. Godspeed as you build the
-
sanctuary for your God. Here it is the job God has
-
called or has given love quest and May God also give you
-
discernment and understanding when he puts you in charge of
-
Israel so that you will rule. And here it is somebody say
-
reverend obedience under God's revelation.
-
You may he give you discernment and understanding when he puts
-
you in charge of Israel so that you will rule in reverent
-
obedience under God's revelation.
-
There's some stuff you can't build by nothing but revelation
-
that that's that that's what will make you successful.
-
What what will make you successful.
-
Let's back it up and May God also give you discernment and
-
understanding when He puts you in charge of Israel so that you
-
will rule in reverent obedience, reverent obedience, reverent
-
obedience under God's revelation.
-
That's what will make you successful.
-
That that here it is following the here it is following the
-
directions and doing the things that God commanded Moses for
-
Israel. Courage.
-
Take courage, son. Don't be timid, man.
-
I'm reading this, this, this is David talking to me.
-
I don't know how you read the word, but when you find your
-
assignment in the Bible, it's as good as David telling Solomon,
-
courage, love quest, take charge.
-
Love quest, don't be timid. Love quest, don't hold back to
-
and I'll add, don't apologize, Love quest.
-
Look at this, look at this, look at this.
-
I've gone, I've gone to a lot of trouble to do the heavy lifting
-
to stockpile materials for the sanctuary of God Love quest.
-
This generation folks have paid for what God has called us to
-
do. That's why I ain't worried about
-
the money it because it's already it's been stockpiled.
-
It's been God has already listen, listen.
-
God has been waiting for the right time and the right people,
-
the obedient people and watch what's all this release,
-
release, release we've been talking about that's off the
-
back of somebody else who was faithful.
-
You ready even if your parents or your family or your past or
-
fail, there was a part in their ministry that stockpiled some
-
things you needed. Even that nobody's work for God
-
is wasted or in vain. The material has been gathered.
-
The material has been gathered. All that we need to build and
-
battle is before you. No excuses in 2025, just
-
obedience. Here it is, Here it is.
-
The program moving forward is presence.
-
Presence Presence presenter. OK, I know Pro is short for
-
program presenter, Pro presenter, the software that
-
runs most churches, but for us it will be the presence
-
presenter. The program is presence.
-
Pro presenter works for presence.
-
The father is building a home for his children to encounter
-
him, not merely know about him. Second Chronicles.
-
I got to go. I got a long way to go, but I
-
got to go. That's why I got to go.
-
Because I got a long way to go. The priest then left the holy
-
place. Here it is moving forward.
-
Presence. Somebody say presence.
-
The priest then left the holy place.
-
All the priests. Somebody say all the priests.
-
Let me. Let me help some of you new
-
folks in the church. I'm not the only priest in here.
-
You're a priest. That's Bible.
-
So you expecting us elders to do the work?
-
No, no, no, no. You're a priest.
-
I am a leader of a priesthood. OK.
-
OK. So I just want you to watch all
-
the priests. There were consecrated.
-
Here It is. All the priests there were
-
consecrated, regardless of rank or assignment.
-
I don't care if you in hospital, I don't care if you work in the
-
door. I don't care if you make him
-
punch. I don't care if you an engineer.
-
I don't care if you doing lights.
-
I don't care if you're a drummer.
-
I don't care if you're in children's church.
-
The call is that all priests, regardless of rank or
-
assignment, is consecrated. You want to take a city all have
-
to consecrate all Levites who were musicians were there,
-
Asaph, Haman and Judithan and and their families dressed in
-
their worship roles. It sounds like they was ready to
-
worship. It sounds like they took
-
worship. Here's a pattern.
-
It sounds like when they approached worship, there was a
-
reverence, not this casual, just I'm going to church.
-
There was. I am approaching the throne of
-
God. Amen.
-
Thank God. Come on.
-
Here it is. Here it is.
-
See at the choir and the orchestra assembled on the east
-
side of the altar. And we're joined by 120 priests
-
blowing trumpets, quiet where the choir and trumpets made.
-
Didn't have to beg nobody to open their mouth.
-
The orchestra in choir, in perfect harmony, all the teams
-
were in perfect harmony singing and playing.
-
Praise to God. Some folks may think when you're
-
not in the sanctuary or you working in the parking lot, you
-
missing something. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-
Everybody if you serving, you worshiping.
-
Serving ain't about you. You're serving running God's
-
house. Everywhere is a room that God is
-
in. God ain't just in this room.
-
Perfect harmony. Say yes, God is good, His loyal
-
love goes on forever. This they song, this that song
-
and then you go forward. It says.
-
Then a billowing cloud filled the temple of God.
-
Then after the order and after the honor and after the unity,
-
then the billowing cloud filled the temple of God.
-
The priest couldn't even carry out their duty.
-
Seek program presence over Rd. program.
-
They, they they couldn't even carry out their duties because
-
of the cloud. Somebody say the cloud, the
-
glory cloud the glory of God that filled the temple of God.
-
Here it is a rhythmic design of unity, consecration and
-
Thanksgiving in 2025, a rhythmic design of unity consecration and
-
think how do you get rid? You can't get rhythm off of one
-
step sometime not even off 2 steps.
-
Rhythm is developed through constant movement.
-
You, you just can't be cool serving or cool worshipping.
-
One Sunday, one year. Three years.
-
No, there's a rhythm in the earth.
-
Do you know how long we fail? Do you know what it takes to get
-
us in alignment with heaven as a lifestyle, not a worship night?
-
A Davidic people and place live in here.
-
It is. This is where a Davidic people
-
love quest and a Davidic place live in a holding pattern of
-
consecration, fighting for unity and celebrating.
-
Often it's a holding pattern. Don't believe me?
-
Love Quest has been in a holding pattern from New West to
-
Vancouver to Langley to the building next door.
-
This ain't what he showed us. This this this is the this this
-
is where he has been developing. Let me keep going.
-
Second Chrono. Second chrono 7 When when
-
Solomon who we talking about? Solomon.
-
All we've been talking about, we've been looking at David and,
-
and the pattern of worship and praise and honor and reverence.
-
And then we're looking at, although he did not build the
-
house, we see the promise of presence passed on to his son
-
and we see him carrying it. You, you look, look young folks,
-
even older do not take for granted the people who have
-
paved the way for you. You are meant to reap a harvest
-
and experience a cloud that they may not have ever experienced.
-
In measure. When Solomon had finished
-
praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt
-
offering and and here it is offering and sacrifices.
-
Here it is, and the shekinah glory and brilliance of the Lord
-
fill the house, the shekinah glory, the glory and brilliance
-
of the Lord. Some of you might be like what
-
Shekinah glory? It is the manifested presence.
-
Here it is wherever God's word is, His presence is So His
-
presence is at every church that proclaim His name.
-
Wait for it. But not many churches experience
-
his manifested presence. See, we just think, oh God, God
-
is everywhere. No, no, he is but but, but but
-
have you ever been in a church and you like man where God at
-
and Shekinah glory is manifested presence it.
-
It's a presence that stops you in your tracks.
-
It's a presence that won't let you be done in 90 minutes if you
-
pay attention. It's a presence that will make
-
you go and apologize even when you have been wronged.
-
It is a presence that will have a group of people lingering
-
after the benediction has been done, hours later, still stirred
-
up. You ready here?
-
Here's where we're going. It says the kind of glory filled
-
the house. Ready.
-
Not just a few people, right, right, like like the days of
-
staring at me, 'cause I'm, I'm, I'm experiencing this presence
-
got to be over. We just need a few more people
-
to realize he's here. And then you respond right here.
-
You ready? Responding to God's presence is
-
contagious. And the more people who interact
-
with God in one place, the the the greater the IT start
-
flooding the place. Yeah.
-
The priest could not enter the House of the Lord because the
-
glory and the brilliance of the Lord have filled the Lord's
-
house. Here's the crazy part.
-
We talk about the time where it filled buildings.
-
We go to Hebrews. He said, I'm not making houses
-
and buildings that can be made with man's hands.
-
Come on people, hear me, hear me.
-
The way that this brilliance is in this temple, it's pointing to
-
you. God wants this brilliance to
-
manifest in your life. Let's take every word from 2024
-
now and bring it to this present moment for where we going.
-
Why? Why are you staring at me?
-
Get my praise on like praise is supposed to be started because I
-
feel it. Do you go to work because you
-
feel like it? Do you brush your teeth because
-
you just feel like it, right? How much stuff you do in a day
-
you don't feel like it. But when it come to worshipping
-
God, you need 1000 scriptures. You need you.
-
You, you need to have been raised in that culture, man.
-
This raising your hand, clapping your hands, stomping your feet.
-
That's all Bible and your portion is needed in here.
-
OK if if I just pour my cup of water let me tell you it's going
-
to get wet right here. But if everybody start pouring
-
water man this place can get flooded.
-
Some of y'all are so selfish with your praise.
-
When all the people of Israel saw how the fire came down, when
-
all the people of Israel saw how the Presence came down and saw
-
the glory and brilliance of the Lord up on the House, they bowed
-
it when it went. When the folks saw the Presence,
-
when, when folks saw the glory of God on you, how it brought
-
joy to you, how it caused you to lift your hand, how you was at
-
the altar, how it brought you to tears, how it brought you to
-
repentance. Then others began to worship
-
God. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold
-
up on stone pavement. So when you think they had rugs
-
back then that they stone pavement, some of y'all didn't
-
got on your knees for most stuff than worship.
-
I'm talking so don't act like your knees can't touch the
-
ground. Hallelujah in this holy temple
-
and they worship and praise the Lord saying for he is good for
-
they worship. It looked like they opened their
-
mouth because if nobody opened their mouth, they wouldn't have
-
the words to tell us what they were saying.
-
His love and kindness endure forever.
-
Listen. Then the king and all the people
-
offered a sacrifice before the Lord.
-
All the people, all the people. King Solomon offered a sacrifice
-
of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep.
-
That brother offered 120,000 sheep.
-
Here's a pattern. A House of sacrifice, not a
-
house that gives because they can.
-
In this way, the king and all the people dedicated God's
-
house. The priest stood at their post
-
the priest stood at their post ready for service.
-
It sounds like they had a just in case posture wasn't about
-
y'all don't need me today. No, no, they stood at their post
-
ready for service. And and the Levites also with
-
the musical instruments of of the Lord, which King David had
-
made to the praise of the Lord, say for his loving kindness and
-
mercy endure forever. Whenever David offered praise
-
through their ministry, the priests were opposite of the
-
Levites blowing the trumpets and all Israel was standing.
-
They were standing. What, what, what, what kind of
-
house is this? With such honor, habitation
-
precedes honor, excellence and order.
-
So Solomon finished the House of the Lord and the palace of the
-
king. He successfully accomplished all
-
that he had planned. We going to finish this house.
-
Look, look, look, look. Then the Lord appeared.
-
After he finished the house, the Lord appeared by night and said
-
to him, Here it is. I heard your prayers and have
-
chosen this place for myself. Like like like like like like I
-
didn't. I didn't lost my mind walking in
-
that old beat up abandoned garage with vision.
-
And not one time from the day I walked in that garage, not one
-
moment have I even thought of this ain't God's house.
-
He put a family together, love, quest to build him a home, a
-
resting place and palace of worship for our king.
-
If you want to know why you've been brought to this house.
-
For those that really call this a house.
-
He brought us together to build him a home that will stand the
-
test of times from generation to generation.
-
He has entrusted us with an essential key to the Kingdom.
-
Here it is a model home for last day living.
-
You want to know why we got to worship how we work?
-
Look, look, look. I'm not a fool to think that he
-
has sent. I don't know how much anointed
-
skillful talent in the garage season.
-
No, no, no, no. You got to hear me.
-
The oil that's in this house is not for any Pay attention.
-
If God has supplied you. If I walked in, if I walked in
-
and gave you a brand new white suit out of nowhere, you would
-
probably say where where are we going?
-
Because what I the the the the lavishness of what I put in your
-
hand causes you to pay attention to something special is going
-
on. So, so, so why I'm mean listen,
-
I'm talking about from new W 1st person he gave us was a global
-
voice in Carolyn and you go on and you you I I then I was in
-
there, I was in there and you guys Danny bro Danny, I'm
-
talking about the the lineage of of of of anointing.
-
And it wasn't no ad put out. We looking for worship leaders
-
and musicians. Every psalmist, every musician
-
is up here because they found home first.
-
Wait, wait, wait, wait. If you found home first, it
-
looked like God placed you here for his use.
-
And when you look around did This is why the the worship team
-
didn't had all kind of issues at times and we then had late night
-
conversations because ain't too many platforms.
-
We're so much oil and so much skill and so much talent, so
-
many ladies. God's saying something about
-
you. Troy's God's saying something
-
about you Troy listen at some point you got to pay attention
-
and ask God what are you equipping this house for and as
-
much as your worship team will pray Lord send us MO this send
-
us MO music and send us. I don't find David.
-
I don't they built when you go look at David had thousands
-
hundreds of musicians and singers so that they can have
-
24/7 prayer his here it is and worship but but but also on the
-
judgement day. I will.
-
Here it is. Here it is.
-
We've been reading this other part, EJ, but watch now we
-
backing it up on New Year's. Watch it is.
-
I will restore David's house that has fallen to pieces.
-
The same passages in Acts 15. I'll repair the holes in the
-
roof. That's where we started.
-
But why is he repairing the holes in the roof?
-
Because he's restoring David's house.
-
Not any. We can't walk over there any
-
kind of way. And I'm not talking about
-
tonight, period. He said I'll repair the holes in
-
the roof, replace the broken windows, fix it up like new.
-
David's people will be strong again.
-
Now here it is. Just so you know the Gee, let me
-
just read what he you told me earlier, Lord.
-
So let me just read what you told me.
-
Jesus is the door to restore the Davidic mantle.
-
So we aren't restoring it aside from the restoration was in
-
Christ and is in Christ. You following me?
-
There's not we not just some special church.
-
What I'm telling you is this is his latter day strategy to
-
combat darkness. We cannot be caught renting from
-
schools and clubs and and governmental places in the last
-
days because we will be homeless.
-
OK, the key to go from visitation to habitation every
-
Sunday, folks. Lord, we inviting God to visit
-
us. Why are we inviting him to visit
-
us? If if you really want, if you
-
really want him here, you got to, you got to open your mouth
-
and you got to come here prepared.
-
He's within you. So where is he coming from?
-
This is not the Old Testament. You're a New Testament believer.
-
You are the sanctuary. Here we go.
-
Keep going. I will place up on his shoulder.
-
Whose shoulder? That sounds like Isaiah 9.
-
I will place up on his shoulder. Uh oh.
-
Isaiah 22. What will he place up on his
-
shoulder? In nine, we see the government
-
shall be on his shoulder. Well, well, the government needs
-
a key Kingdom. Here it is shoulders, the key to
-
the treasures of David's palace. So you mean there's some,
-
there's a strategy, there's something to unlock, there's
-
Davidic mysteries, there's a treasure box waiting for a
-
people to open and yield their lives to God.
-
Look what he says. He will open doors that no one
-
can shut and he will shut doors that no one can open.
-
That sounds like another scripture Jesus quotes and he
-
says the power, whatever you bind on earth, I will give you
-
the keys to heaven and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound
-
at right. So what he meant here in the Old
-
Testament, right here he's pointing to a New Testament
-
people. OK, OK.
-
I will strike a blow to Him as they nail in a secure place, and
-
He will be a glorious throne of honor for His Father's house.
-
Here It is all the glory of His Father's house.
-
They will fasten to Him, including offspring and
-
branches. I am the vine, You are the
-
branches that will trust in Him. Every vessel, every jar and
-
bowl, both small and great, will be fastened to Him.
-
So if we going to walk with Jesus, guess what, we got to
-
walk in divine Davidic design and then that day declares the
-
Lord Yahweh, commander of the angels army, the Nell here it is
-
fastened in a secure place will give way and cut off the fall
-
and all the load hanging. Maybe all the sin that's hanging
-
on the cross will fall off as well.
-
And the Lord Yahweh has spoken. Why will they fall off Because
-
he got up. He dropped it off.
-
We're a resurrected people. Here we go.
-
The key to the House of David will be the key to the House of
-
love Quest International Church from 2025 to Infinity.
-
Here it is the key to the House of David will be the key to the
-
House of love. Quest International Church 2025
-
We will have a greater understanding of what we already
-
been doing by the Spirit. You are going to see that within
-
you He has woven a Davidic pattern within.
-
You want to know why you here Caleb?
-
You want to know why you here? You want to know why you here
-
Michael? You want to know why you here
-
Annabeth? You want to know why you here?
-
You want to know why the enemy coming for you is because you
-
have a strategy and a pattern. You have a model home within you
-
and you actually need other Levites around you.
-
You need other skilled musicians, You need other
-
skilled vocalist. He will not bring greatness
-
together that cannot depend on each other, because to depend on
-
each other we got to depend on him.
-
But there is something he is building in this land through
-
this house, and it is a model home.
-
It is a pattern of worship. Here it is, here it is, here it
-
is. Stay focused because we think
-
because y'all going to be giving me signals.
-
PT we got to go. Well you, you, here's the word
-
for next year. Next year will be the year of
-
the fear of God. Listen to me the essential key
-
to a year of awe and wonder out of all God has promised us for
-
the last seven years it has come to this point the way we will
-
walk in everything he has promised from generations
-
previously is to be a people that walk in the fear of God.
-
Ain't it crazy how one of the most popping clothing lines.
-
How did he beat us to it, man, the the year of the now look,
-
God, every year it's been overflow, it's been king tide,
-
it's been everything you going to receive.
-
Oh, this year is all about your posture and him.
-
Oh my God, I can't hardly sit still as I'm the the and people
-
hear this and I'm going a little bit and we going to go next door
-
and all that and we going to deal with this next Sunday and
-
for the next couple months. But in every series that he has
-
planned for this year, 2025 is the year of the fear of God.
-
It is the essential key to a year of awe and wonder.
-
Now I'm going to go as fast as I can so you won't leave thinking
-
that this is going to be the year God scares us.
-
No, no, no, because when you understand this will be the
-
year, you know, since we love quest, we got to say something
-
cool. This will this will be the year
-
of the fog. This will be the year of the fog
-
that y'all don't know what fog is.
-
The year of the fear of God. Oh man, here it is here it is.
-
Follow me. Y'all got to help me.
-
Y'all got to help me see on nobody.
-
Show me a sign or nothing right now please.
-
I know you didn't see. I'm just you, just the first
-
person you was on my mind. I love you so much.
-
The year of the fog. You know we've heard cloud a few
-
times. See some of you think fog.
-
Oh I ain't going to be able to see this year.
-
No. Oh, buddy, oh buddy, I hope you
-
all ready for this. Follow me.
-
It's the essential key to the year of awe and wonder.
-
Isaiah 11. Now we still in Isaiah, but here
-
it is that that that Davidic bloodline and there shall come
-
forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, David's father, and a
-
branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit, fruit.
-
You know who this is? That's that's David's daddy,
-
that's David, that's Solomon. And there's Jesus, the vine, and
-
there's the branches us. That's why in John 15 He tells
-
us that He saved us to be what fruitful.
-
Here it is. Here it is verse 2.
-
The spirit of Yahweh will rest upon Him.
-
Here's the seven manifestations of the Holy Ghost.
-
It is the spirit of extraordinary wisdom.
-
It is the spirit of perfect understanding.
-
It is the spirit of wise strategy.
-
It is the spirit of mighty power.
-
It is the spirit of revelation. And we've prayed and desired and
-
yearned for all six except the spirit of the fear of God.
-
Lord, give me wisdom. Lord, give me understanding,
-
give me spiritual gifts, give me strategy for my business.
-
I want power. Give me revelation.
-
Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch.
-
He will find his delight in living by the Spirit of out of
-
all 7. He finds delight in living by
-
the spirit of the fear of God. Out of all these gifts, he finds
-
delight in living by the spirit of the fear of God.
-
He didn't just say the fear of God.
-
It's the spirit of the fear of God which lets you know here it
-
is in certain ways. The spirit of the fear of God is
-
a gift. These are 7 here.
-
It is manifestations. The spirit of the fear of God is
-
a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
-
When you find a church, when you find a people that's in full
-
control and the fear of God, some of you think that no, I, I
-
fear, I'm afraid I'm, I'm afraid of God.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-
It is so many ways that you show that you fear God.
-
Obedience is number one. Why he got to beg you to do
-
stuff, why he got to beg you to tithe, why he got to beg you to
-
come to church, why you got to beg you to serve.
-
You might love God. You don't.
-
You don't Revere them, you might love what he might be able to do
-
for you, but old boy how he got to beg to get you out of them.
-
Situations. Here it is the fear of God is a
-
gift to those that relentlessly pursue him.
-
The fear of God rest in places and people he desires to live a
-
manifested life with. Here it is the fear of God is a
-
gift to those that have a life rhythm of obedience.
-
The The fear of God is a weighty gift with a hefty price that's
-
been paid for. OK here it is, the glory of God
-
and the fear of God our running mates.
-
OK, you want glory, He wants the fear of God.
-
Here it is the fear of God is a glory to carry.
-
Not waiting for a lot of time. We are waiting for glory.
-
Lord, visit us now. The fear of God is a glory to
-
carry. Oh, if you understand the fear
-
of God, that's where glory rests.
-
This is not afraid of God. This is not scared of God.
-
This is not the the running. This is not God having to look
-
for you and say, where are you, Adam?
-
This is not the fear of man. This is not being afraid of God.
-
Being afraid of God pulls you away from God.
-
That's why you ain't coming here.
-
Fear of God is one of the ways the Holy Spirit manifests.
-
Keep going. PT Now I'm about to just run off
-
a bunch of scripture to you work out, cultivate, carry out to the
-
goal and fully complete your own salvation with reverence and awe
-
and trembling self distrust, with serious caution, tenderness
-
of kind. Oh, I can go over here and hang
-
out with this with with with this and I can go up in the club
-
and I can smoke and I can drink. I could do this and still be
-
good. I could be saved.
-
And you, like you, believe in yourself too much.
-
You don't believe the Word, and we have paused as a church.
-
I love God, so we live a life trying to do things that show we
-
love, he says. Watchfulness against temptation,
-
timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God.
-
Like, you know what? That, that that kind of appears
-
evil. I don't even want to, I don't
-
even want to come close to offending God.
-
Like I don't, I don't even want, I don't even want to do it.
-
And then even have to wonder if God is cool with it.
-
Not, not not in your own strength.
-
For it is God who is all the wild effectually at work in you.
-
Oh, there's that spirit energizing and creating in you
-
the power and desire. God's not trying to ask you to
-
conjure up your own strength to do everything He's asking you to
-
do. He's saying, let me work in you.
-
You can't do what He asks you to do without Him.
-
He says both to will and to work for His good pleasure and sake.
-
His name is on the line. He wants to will you to I need
-
the spirit. Somebody say I need the spirit
-
of the fear of God. Come on, therefore, since here
-
we go moving on. Therefore, since we have these
-
great and wonderful promises, since we got all these promises,
-
beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from everything.
-
Since we got all these promises, since we got all this word,
-
since we really believe God is exceedingly, abundantly above
-
all that we can ask, think, or imagine according to the power,
-
since we believe that we the head and not the tail, Since we
-
believe my God shall supply all of my needs.
-
Of course, since you. But if you believe that, cleanse
-
yourself from everything that contaminates body and spirit,
-
completing holiness, living a consecrated life, a life set
-
apart for God's purpose. In the fear of God, the fear of
-
the Lord illumines the soul, annihilates evil, weakens the
-
passions, drives from the soul and makes it pure.
-
The fear of the Lord is the summit of wisdom.
-
Where it is not, you will find nothing good.
-
Where the fear of the Lord is not, you will not find anything
-
good. Whoever does not have the fear
-
of God is open to diabolical falls, says Ephraim the Syrian.
-
Somebody say I need the spirit of the fear of God.
-
Here it is. Do you see what we've got?
-
Do you see what we've got? We've got an unshakeable
-
Kingdom. And do you see how thankful we
-
must be since it's so unshakeable?
-
Not only thankful here it is ready, but brimming with worship
-
deeply. Here it is, reverent before God,
-
for God is not an indifferent bystander.
-
Here it is. He's actively cleaning house,
-
torching all that needs to burn, and he won't quit until it's all
-
cleansed. God himself is fire.
-
He's coming for you. I, I just like to put it this
-
way. Let's just clean up before dad
-
gets home. Brothers and sisters, can we
-
siblings, can we just clean up before dad gets home, please?
-
Dad said he'll be home in, in, in in like about 30 minutes,
-
guys. OK, let's just clean up before
-
Dad gets home, OK? Here it is.
-
Follow me. You call out to God for help,
-
huh? And he helps, huh?
-
He's a good father that way. But don't forget, he's also a
-
responsible father. And he won't let you get by with
-
sloppy living. Your increase overflow King
-
tide. Knock me over.
-
God, Hell. Bless me, OK, But you don't say
-
it. Don't even got to be that, that
-
it ain't even got to be that kind of transaction, he said.
-
You should conduct yourself with true reverence.
-
Through how long? Just on Sunday, Monday, when I
-
come, when I pull up in the parking lot, change the music.
-
Right when I come to church, I'm going to stop cussing.
-
Oh, true reverence throughout the time of your temporary
-
residence on the earth, whether long or short, however long it
-
is, what do you say all the days of your life, you should have
-
true reverence. Here it is Jude, we all over the
-
Bible, we just coast to coast in the Bible.
-
Keep being compassionate to those who still doubt.
-
Here it is for some of you. So some of you people who who
-
get caught up in just thinking you going to be everybody's
-
savior. Here it is and snatch others out
-
of the fire to save them. Yes, help them, Here it is.
-
Be merciful over and over to them, here it is.
-
But always couple your mercy with the fear of God.
-
Oh, here it is. Be extremely careful to keep
-
yourself free from the pollutions of the flesh.
-
Here it is. You don't have to come down to
-
bring people up. Listen, trying to help family
-
members that get you out of character.
-
You're dealing with folks that's being stubborn and then being
-
familiar. No, no, no, no, he said look
-
like like call people out. But man, couple that mercy with
-
with the fear of God. Don't you ever compromise in the
-
name of trying to help somebody find Jesus.
-
I need come on, somebody say I need the spirit of fear of God.
-
Now here it is not the fear of man, for God did not give me the
-
spirit of fear. So he ain't talking about the
-
same fear. But if power, love is Salma, he
-
says fear. There's No Fear in love.
-
Matthew 10 Don't be bluffed into silence by the threats of
-
bullies. There's nothing they can do to
-
your soul. Talking about these bully
-
spirits, these Philistine spirits, these demonic
-
oppressive spirits, and even people.
-
Your core being save your fear for God.
-
You sitting here worried about folks leaving you When?
-
When are you worried about being disconnected from God?
-
You worried about people not liking you?
-
Are you worried about being close to the Lord?
-
The spirit of the fear of God, not the spirit of being scared
-
of God. What do you mean scared of God?
-
And they said to Moses, Hey Moses, you speak to us please,
-
and we going to listen to you, but let not God speak to us,
-
lest we die. And Moses said to the people,
-
fear not, for God has come to prove you, inspect you, so that
-
the reverential fear of him may be before you, that you may not
-
sin. Oh, the fear of God is maybe the
-
maybe not getting off we either. Maybe you.
-
You shouldn't be waking up trying not to sin.
-
You should be waking up trying to get closer to God.
-
And your relationship with God is going to keep you from the
-
devil. Love us wrestling with sin,
-
trying to stop it on our own. God delivered them for him, but
-
they let sin keep them from Him. Afraid of God causes us to
-
withdraw. What will he say?
-
What will he know? What will he reject?
-
What will he punish? The fear of God is the essential
-
key that opens the heavens within us, releasing the glory
-
of God around us. I'm going to say this one time,
-
fear of God is the essential key.
-
It's not a essential key. It is the essential key that
-
opens the heavens within us, releasing the glory of God
-
around us. For all of you who are tempted
-
to be afraid of God, let me just ramble on and I'll pick up on
-
Sunday. The blessing.
-
The fear of God only brings blessings.
-
The fear of God only brings glory, OK?
-
The reward of humility and reverent and Worshipful fear of
-
the Lord is riches in honor in life.
-
Somebody say 1. The reverent fear of the Lord
-
worshiping, obeying, serving and trusting Him with all field
-
respect prolongs one's life, say 2.
-
So, so it brings honor to your life.
-
And then the fear of God brings long life.
-
You want to know why we're in a generation where folks is dying
-
too young, no honor, no reverence, not only to God, but
-
when you don't fear God, you for sure don't fear any other
-
authoritative figures. OK, OK, it says, but the years
-
of the wicked will be shortened. Fear of God is the essential key
-
to my long life bloodline. The person with the gift of the
-
fear of the Lord understands who they are and why they are here
-
in relationship to God. In other words, everything they
-
are is due to the wonder, the love, grace and perfection of
-
God. In other words, a person that
-
walks in the fear of God, you will find them constantly.
-
You can't. You can't find them without a
-
praise Hallelujah. A person with the fog is totally
-
dependent on the Lord as a child is to a parent.
-
The gift of the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
-
Once a person understands who God is and desires to please
-
Him, they can begin to understand things from God's
-
point of view or have wisdom. Spirit of the Fall comes with
-
the greatest health benefits ever.
-
Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the reverent and
-
Worshipful fear of the Lord all the day long, for surely there
-
is a latter end, a future and a reward, and your hope and
-
expectations shall not be cut off.
-
Psalm 25 The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him.
-
I'm having trouble hearing God. As I said before, many people
-
want to hear from God but not walk with Him.
-
Here it is. And He will make them know His
-
covenant. Oh Andrew, the intimacy to
-
understand the love of God. See, See, when you understand
-
the love of God and you walk intimately with him, you can't
-
be talked out of your Christianity because stuff goes
-
wrong. You still let you still
-
understand the nature of God. So when people come with all
-
this foolery unite that ain't even in my God's nature.
-
See, a lot of us don't know his nature.
-
We just know some scripture somebody told us.
-
So you can be talked out of your faith because you don't have
-
nature, you don't understand nature and anybody can tell you
-
that all the evil has contributed to God's doing.
-
We with Proverbs 7. Fear of God is the beginning of
-
wisdom. Wow, you mean we can't get God's
-
wisdom without the fear? This is skillful and godly
-
wisdom. Psalm 128.
-
Blessed is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord,
-
who walks in his ways and lives according to his commandments.
-
Here it is, For you shall eat the fruit of the labor of your
-
hands. Happy, blessed, fortunate,
-
enviable shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
-
Here it is your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the
-
innermost parts of your house. Here it is you fear in the Lord.
-
Your children shall be like a olive plants round about your
-
table. It keeps going.
-
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who reverently and
-
worshipfully fears the Lord. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah,
-
blessed fortune and prosperous in favor by God is the man or
-
woman who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His
-
commandments. You need another one, His
-
descendants. Will be mighty on earth.
-
Oh, the man and woman that fears the Lord.
-
It's generational fruit, the generation of the upright.
-
Will be blessed wealth. And riches are in his house and
-
his righteousness endures forever.
-
Oh you mean the way I live in righteousness, the choices I
-
make and the walk that I have with God?
-
Once I'm when I'm dead and gone from it will my walk will endure
-
forever. Look, he'll never be shaken.
-
He will not fear bad. News some of y'all be.
-
Shook. Oh, it's snowing tomorrow.
-
Oh my God. His heart is uphill.
-
He will not fear while he looks. At his enemies some of y'all got
-
to go all the way across the other.
-
Side of the mall When you see somebody, you.
-
Fell out with all right. Some of y'all want to move
-
because. You broke up with.
-
Somebody and they live in the same city.
-
Here it is, confidence and strength flood the hearts.
-
Of the lovers of God. Who live in awe of him their
-
devotion provides their children with a place of shelter and so
-
Malachi Micah Malia if me and his me and their.
-
Mama. Walk in the fear of the Lord.
-
They've inherited a lifetime of protection. 2025 will be a
-
generational transaction. Securing the legacy.
-
Of Kingdom prosperity. In your bloodline.
-
I get 2 more and we'll we're going to run next door.
-
Now I'll bring in the new year on the curb.
-
I don't. I don't really listen.
-
Bring it on the curb. We don't get this word.
-
I'm just playing. Stop playing.
-
Stop playing. Stop playing.
-
The Angel of the Lord we got 1 keyboard.
-
Over there right, all right, that's all we need Hallelujah,
-
the Angel of the Lord in camps around those this I'm I'm I'm
-
talking about like when you. Walk in this stuff.
-
There's a different type of boldness you walk in, right?
-
You can. You can walk.
-
In a garage and be like. Absolutely.
-
This is a cathedral. No, no, I, I, I you.
-
You brought the value to the building.
-
Those. Those who fear him who?
-
Revere and worship Him. With awe and each of them, he
-
delivers each. Hey man, I'm.
-
Every every person in my family. And bloodline moving forward
-
will experience the goodness of God.
-
You ready, men as. Men.
-
You are not protecting your household if you don't walk in
-
the fear of God. Test him if you want to.
-
It's the word of God and nothing.
-
You think no. Philosophy.
-
No education can trump the word of God.
-
It's been here for for thousands of years.
-
This word has been living longer than your new thoughts.
-
Play with your family if you want to.
-
I will. I love my kids and my wife too
-
much. To play and run.
-
From the call of God on my life. My disobedience will always have
-
an effect on even grandchildren that ain't even here yet.
-
You love your family. Give your life completely to the
-
Lord, because I'm telling you there's.
-
Some stuff that will hit your household that you.
-
As a man can't even help your family but God can.
-
Oh, fear the Lord, you his. Saints but.
-
There's no want to those. Who truly, there's no want.
-
And This is why some of you saying if you unemployed, hey,
-
let me tell you something, OK, You need a job.
-
Awesome. Awesome.
-
What are you doing now? Do you?
-
Do you? You got the brilliant cigar on
-
on the inside of you. Whoever ain't called.
-
You back missing out. Right your life don't stop
-
because of worldly needs. Now look, I'm always.
-
Have something to do for the Lord?
-
They won't want for nothing because they fear the Lord.
-
I'll end with great protection. He was the seeker and follower
-
of the God of this Father, his Father.
-
It was obedient to. Him, he wasn't like Israel and.
-
God secured the Kingdom under. His rule gave him a firm grip on
-
it and everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing
-
gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich
-
and much honored. He was single minded in
-
following God and he got rid of the local sects and religion
-
shrines. 2025 you ready? God's coming for.
-
Your idols. Here it is because this man
-
walked this way. There was a strong sense of the
-
fear. Of God in all the kingdoms
-
around. Judah they didn't dare go to war
-
against Jehoshaphat because they saw.
-
His walk. Because they they saw if we mess
-
with him, there's a bigger problem.
-
These next few weeks we're going to dive so into.
-
The fear of God. There will be a.
-
Series. On.
-
Families. The Lord.
-
Says get your house in order. 2020. 5.
-
God's not playing. I don't think he ever has.
-
Been. But some of you are now leeching
-
off of grace and the Bible. Clearly says don't take God's
-
grace in vain. There's a call on your life and
-
you know it. This is the time to take steps.
-
You're a long time believer. You and this lukewarm state.
-
Of mind and life. It's the time to go forward if
-
you don't got a. Church home and you just a
-
church. Hopper, I'm not asking you to
-
stay here. Find you a church.
-
This is. Not the time to play.
-
OK, get rooted in God's house. We are about to step into times
-
where people are going to be running to the altar in houses
-
like this, where they're equipped and ready to handle any
-
type of disruption, because there is going to be.
-
Such a glory. That is going to cause people to
-
rush the altar for freedom. Hallelujah.
-
And I would say love question you're ready for sons and.
-
Daughters to come home, however, whenever, at any moment.
-
Why did Solomon get the? Job to build the house.
-
Because God wanted a man that represented peace to build the
-
house. I can't.
-
Express it enough this building. Is for the Lord.
-
It's not for love quest to just have a place to hang out.
-
I will tell you now when we dedicate that building, it is
-
holy ground. I will tell you.
-
That leadership. Will hold whoever, whenever,
-
whatever accountable to hold the standard of what it looks like
-
to have a holy house. For God.
-
And I know this generation is. Not used you used to it, I would
-
grew up. In a time where I think some in
-
some ways it went too far. But what I do know is there was
-
a reverence and that reverence. Is lost.
-
I I I couldn't. I couldn't walk in church with a
-
hat on. I'm not wear your hat like this
-
is what I'm saying Like those aren't essentials.
-
So we were trip we but but at. The same time we I.
-
Couldn't wear a hat. Then there was choir members
-
sleeping with each other. You know what I'm saying?
-
Essentials. So you might as well just keep.
-
Your hat on. You get what I'm saying?
-
But there. Is a reverence that is.
-
So stop talking revival if you don't want to lay nothing down,
-
and I will tell you now. We're not about filling seats.
-
Here so if you don't want accountability.
-
You don't want presents you don't want to.
-
Go after God with us. You don't want to build the
-
House of God. Look, let me tell you, this is
-
the wrong house to be in. What we're about here is we are
-
really going to go after the Lord.
-
And he will have. Reign.
-
Over our program, over our place, over this.
-
Building discipleship will always trump your talent.
-
Your health is first, yes. You going to serve?
-
Yes, it's challenging. Man you ain't giving up 120,000
-
goats. Bam, get out of here.
-
We were out here acting like we met you, drove you, wouldn't
-
you? Didn't come here on no donkey
-
from from Langley. Like shut up.
-
Like, like seriously like I'm telling.
-
You guys, it is pathetic as a church how we represent Jesus
-
Christ, the Lord of our life, our Savior, the stuff we
-
complain about and the stuff that that we got to address.
-
We just meant sometime I look out my window on Sunday and I'm
-
like, whoa, we not come in here after God, Go to some other
-
continents and countries and see.
-
What time they show up? They sitting there waiting.
-
We just like we going to the mall when we come to church, I.
-
Don't need no friends, I got my wife.
-
I'm not trying to make friends, I'm trying to.
-
Show up to heaven and I'm trying to hear well done thy good and
-
faithful servant. Period.
-
No hesitation. I want to hear well done, thy
-
good and faithful servant. Go on here, brother.
-
I don't want to hear. Well done, thy good and.
-
Faithful servant, but remember. That one day, no, I love the
-
Lord and if. You want to play church, man?
-
This just ain't the spot. Because it's going to all be
-
revealed. Why?
-
Because we are going to make sure that God's house has so
-
much honor and reverence that you can't hide.
-
I remember going to church and I'm like, oh, pastor, just.
-
Might read my mail today. Man man, it's all kind of demons
-
hiding in churches. Easy, no prophetic words.
-
Nobody. Trying to discern nothing God
-
can't interrupt the service. You see, I know we supposed to
-
be next door and we going to count down in a few minutes and
-
folks antsy. I want to get next door.
-
I want them balloons. I want them 54321 and then show
-
up at. On on 2025 the same.
-
It's right next door. You can hear it if you don't
-
make it over there. I'm going to make it fast.
-
I'm. Quick.
-
I just, I just pray I got a few people with me.
-
But it's coming year. If you are a native of Canada, I
-
will tell you this as a Canadian believer, Your country actually
-
really, really. Needs.
-
To see what it looks like to be a follower of Jesus.
-
This is a very lukewarm. Region.
-
Laodicea very lukewarm, very complacent and OK with it
-
comfortable. There's a dying city, a dying
-
region. That's dependent on.
-
A group of people to lay their lives down.
-
And at some. Point or another, every person
-
in here is going to. Die.
-
You don't know if it's next week, you don't know if it's 80
-
years from now, but one thing you don't ever want to do is
-
show. Up on your deathbed and have.
-
Him fulfill what God has called you to fulfill.
-
No one in here has time, but everybody in here has a call.
-
Stop playing. With your life and.
-
Stop playing with other people's lives.
-
God has been too good to 100% of us.
-
You have no excuse. Next year's going to be a
-
fabulous year. Explosive year, fruitful
-
fruitful, fruitful, fruitful year and 2024 Love quest you
-
killed. It.

-
Is a river of light flowing down from the world?
-
Can you see earth? There is a sound of the shore
-
far from heaven.
