Christmas Eve < Christmas Seed (Christmas Eve Exprnc) - Elder John Swain Jr. and Pastor Terrance Richmond

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

some tea and get ready to receive.

It's go time. Let's get into it, hey?

Man, hey, man. First of all, I want to say

this, next year is here, next year's here.

Catch that, if you will. One thing I want to say, first

of all, pastors, thank you for the opportunity.

But even more importantly, thank you for preparing me for the

opportunity. So opportunity isn't squandered

and I don't go to glory with regret and disappointment rather

than with the joy of the Lord, knowing I've done all He's asked

me to do. So thank you for the preparation

as well as the opportunity. Amen.

So I'm going to get right into it.

It's going we're going like a House of fire and pastor, I

thank you for the word and setting up because part of what

I'm going to share today is things that I've never heard

things I've never heard anyone else preach.

But I think therefore this time now, because next year is

already here. Y'all got it.

So coming out the gate, coming in hot.

So the night the the the, the the message title is this.

Now we're going to have fun today because I don't have to

have fun if I'm doing this. I ain't just doing this for

y'all, right? So we're gonna have fun, but we

going. But how many?

How many Y'all know winning is fun?

How many y'all know glory is fun?

How y'all know freedom is fun? Yeah, we gonna have fun today.

So the title, the message is today is this Put the title up.

Christmas Adam. Christmas seed.

Christmas Adam. Christmas seed.

Now if I had a subtitle, it would be this Christmas Adam,

not Christmas Eve. OK, that's the subtitle,

Christmas Adam, not Christmas Eve.

So the first thing you need to know is this.

On this Christmas time, what we are understanding is that God

gave an Adam, not an Eve. It's important to understand

that yes, it's a baby, but God gave an Adam, not an Eve.

When the king is born to the royal family, they don't see a

baby, they see a king. God gave an Adam, not an Eve.

In First Corinthians 1545 it says this.

Thus it is written. The first man, Adam, became a

living being, an individual personality.

The last Adam, Christ became a life giving spirit, restoring

the dead to life. God gave a Christmas Adam, not a

Christmas Eve. And that's significant because

the Christmas Adam has a relationship to the first Adam.

It has a relationship to the garden Adam.

OK, so God gave a Christmas Adam, not a Christmas Eve.

Bro, why you repeat so much? Because I'm trying to get it

into you someplace, right? We're trying to penetrate some

things. So you have to understand this,

that Jesus was an Adam, everyone Jesus was an Adam.

And probably that's really not grammatically correct.

The reason I say it was is because of the birth I'm

referencing in the past. To be really correct, it would

have to say this Jesus is an Adam, because though he was, he

still is. Amen.

But I'm speaking about the birth and referencing that time period

when I say God gave the baby. God gave us an Adam.

Jesus was an Adam. 1st Corinthians 15 says this.

Why? Why are you?

Why are you so loud, man? Because see this demons like

this going like, I don't want to hear this, but now they're going

to have to hear it. I'm just saying, First

Corinthians 1522 says this. For just as because of their

union of nature in Adam, Garden Adam, all people die, so also by

virtue of their union of nature shall in Christ be made alive.

Garden Adam all died. Got it?

Jesus, Adam, Christmas, Adam, all are made alive.

Garden Adam all died. Christmas, Adam all are made

alive. You see the relationship that's

there, but don't get it twisted. It's more than a relationship.

You have to understand the nature of it.

Too often when we see relationship, we think one of

one and one to one, OK, got to be focused.

But it's not a one to one relationship.

And it's not an inverse relationship for all you math

people, OK? It's not a reciprocal

relationship for all you geometry people.

It's a grace relationship. Say grace relationship.

Romans 515 says this, but God's free gift.

This is the Christmas Adam. It's not at all to be compared

to the trespass, the garden Adam.

God's gift shouldn't even be compared to the garden.

Adam, God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the

trespass. His grace is out of all

proportion to the fall of man. How many of us really

understand? His grace is out of all

proportion to the fall. His forgiveness is out of all

proportion to your sin. Your freedom He gives you is out

of all proportion to your bondage.

God, I've been bound for years. Don't you understand that don't

really matter because your freedom as it arrives is out of

all proportion to the number of years you've been bound.

That's why God can say don't worry about it.

You're not even going to remember it.

You have to remember what you went through, but you won't have

a remembrance of the trauma. Pastor says Amen.

Romans 5 continues on to say this. 15 continues on to say

this for if in many for if many die through one man's falling

away, Garden Adam much more profusely say much more

profusely did God's grace and the free gift that comes through

the undeserved favor of the one man, Jesus Christ, say Christmas

Adam abound and overflow. There's no comparison between

what Garden Adam did and what Christmas Adam did.

It's not a one for one. Garden Adam gave you a cold.

Christmas Adam Healed your whole province from cancer.

Garden Adam gave you a meal to eat.

Christmas Adam gave you bread to feed a nation.

You got to understand it's out of all proportion.

So you got to get out of your mind and get into

multiplication. You got to get out of your own

mind and how you count and get your eyes up to the grace of

God. You can't fathom it because it's

out of all proportion. So here's what we got to do.

When we think about garden Adam versus Christmas Adam, we got to

say this. Not even close.

The grace of Christmas Adam compared to garden that not even

close. Now, once you show something

here, right? It's for everybody, everybody,

everyone says to everybody, see, that's my mouth.

This my mouth. How you know, see them kind of

brown lips. That's the best color I could

get right there. Them kind of brown lips.

That's my mouth. So I'm saying it's not even

close, but it's supposed to trigger you to open yours.

It's not even close. It's not even close.

It's not even close. When I compare my bondage to my

freedom, it's not even close. When I compare my poverty to my

riches, it's not even close. When I compare the days my

family's to being busted compared to the wholeness of my

family for generations, that ain't even close.

When I compare the life I've been giving personally to the

life of a nation that knows revival, it ain't even close.

It's not even close. It's not even close.

It ain't even close. It's not even close.

It's not Even so whenever you get ready to pray, someone says

help me brother, I'm bound inside your spirit.

Before you open your mouth, you ought to say I'm going to pray.

God going to release his power. And I'm telling you, bro, it

ain't even close. What's going to happen?

The enemy ain't even close to being able to hold hold you

under bondage. It's not even close.

You got to live like it's not even close.

You got to give like it's not even close.

You got to pray like it's not even close.

You got to have joy like it's not even close.

It's time for Christmas to be cut out with the sad because of

the grace of the Christmas Adam. The joy you get ain't even close

to the sadness you bear. I'm away from my family, but the

joy of being united with a family of God is not even close.

It's not even close. God's trying to pirate an

attitude of a champion to you. It's not even close.

When you walk out the gate and the enemy sees you, he's going

to say to himself, dude, it's not even close.

It's not even close. It ain't even close.

It ain't close. You know, you know, you know, in

New Zealand they got this rugby team shout out to my rugby

players in the house, rugby team.

And they and they come out and do the haka.

You know what the haka is? It's a ceremonial declaration of

their power and authority. I believe it's New Zealand.

It's New Zealand, right, Right. And when they come out and they

do the haka and they come out and they shout and they declare,

you know what the other enemies say?

Oh, God, it's not even close. It's not even close.

That ought to be a testimony going back to hell of your life.

Satan ought to go to the demons. What's the report, man?

It's not even close. What have we seen?

Like a whole nother legion of demons brother.

Still not even close. What have we seen?

Oh half of hell. It's not even close.

This is not even close man. It's not even close.

So let me ask you this when God had the last Adam in the

Christmas Adam and changed things around OK, do you think

God said flip it and reverse it? You think God said flip and see

God as a hip hop God? I'm going to give you evidence

for that today. Do you think you said flipping

and reversing? How many y'all think you said

flipping and reversing? So y'all learning?

Y'all learning right? Because hello, for those that

are thinking it but didn't raise your hand, hello.

We just said it's not even close.

So God ain't going to flip it and reverse it.

So God said flip it and far exceed it.

He just ain't flipping and reversing.

He's flipping and far exceeding. He's flipping and far exceeding.

Why? Because it's not even close,

man. The music will come out of your

fingers, man, in your heart. Compared to what's been in the

earth, it ain't even close, bro. So I want to give you a picture

here. Here's a picture of if this is

flipping and reverse it. Put that picture up.

See, So what we got here, we got mountains.

The lion is the earth. That's like when Garden Adam was

here. And the mountains, you see how

big they are compared to the people, because that's how we

think we are compared to the mountains.

We really believe mountains are a bigger creation than we are.

We really believe the mountains are grander than we are.

You know, when you walk through a Linn Valley Canyon and you

want to look up the mountains, you want to go pray for me,

Adam, And you want to go, man, when you walk through then big

old mounds, look down and you don't go and say, man, it ain't

even close the glory on you. It ain't close to the glory

that's on me. But anyway, that's how we see

it, right? So right here, here is man in

the garden, hands up. And then we sin, particularly

Adam, treasonous, seeing it fell.

Now why is the fallen man bigger than the garden Adam?

Because we believe the fall is bigger than that's how we see

it. See, we believe the fall is

bigger. Sin is bigger.

Sin is more powerful. Sin is more, more, more, more,

more controlling. Sin is not even close to what

God has done versus the other way around what God has done,

not even close to sin. See, that's how we see it.

See the dead man on the ground like that chalk line.

I was looking for a chalk line for you first 48 watchers I

hear, but I couldn't find one. And then what we think the

Christmas Adam did was this restored his back.

That's what we see. But I want to tell you now, I

just told you God didn't flip it and reverse it.

He flipped it and far exceeded it.

So if this is flip it and reverse it.

Let me show you what flip it and far exceeded it is.

That's flipping and far exceeding.

Gordon, Adam. Christmas, Adam.

Gordon Adam. Christmas, Adam.

It's not even close. It's important to understand

what you got when this gift. You got to know the horsepower

you got. If you don't know the horsepower

on the Lamborghini, you hit the gas, you'll spin it out and

crash in a pole. You got to know the horsepower

under your hood because it's not even close.

The first Adam God gave us ours. Everyone say ours.

The last Adam God gave us his y'all got it?

That's why he said my peace I give to you.

The first Adam, God gave us ours.

He said, y'all mess that up, Forget that, I'm going to get

you mine. Now where's that in the Bible

where the prodigal son came running home and the father who

represents God in Christ said this.

Give him my robe. He done spoiled his robe.

Give him my robe. Give him my ring, give him my

shoes. You feel me?

So though we go back to the garden, we don't go back with

ours, we go back with his. We go back with more authority.

We go back with more power, more grace.

See in the garden Adam had the earth.

As we go back now, we got heavens as well as the earth.

Adam garden. Adam didn't have the throne.

Christmas Adam gave us the throne in him.

So how many verses do you need? We're Co seated.

We're Co heirs, we sit in heavenly places far above all

principalities and powers and everything he talks about a

hundredfold return how bump a crop, how many verses you need

to really understand the fullness of the grace as far

exceeding the sin of your life and the destruction of your

life. But I also want to say that God

also said this, you know, he said flip it and far exceed it.

He said this flip it and far exceeded.

Flip it and far exceeded. You see the S there?

See I'm my pastor son. I got that word thing on me too.

Say flip it and far exceeded, right.

This is what he say by seed. Genesis 315 And I will put

enmity between thee and the woman.

So man has fallen and God's coming on the scene to let you

know what he going to do about it.

He said, I, I will put enmity between thee and the woman and

between thy seed and her seed, and it shall bruise thy head.

Her seed. Who's her seed?

Who's her seed? Who's her seed?

Christmas Adam is her seed. He said they're going to come a

seed from you. He's going to bruise the head of

the enemy. Christmas Adam.

God gave us a Christmas Adam, but he also gave us a Christmas

seed as well. So can you say with me one time

victory seed. Oh, yeah, there's faith in the

room now. He says this Genesis, Galatians

3, not to Adam and his seed, where the promises made everyone

say Christmas seed. He said not.

He saith King James, reverence to the King James on Christmas

Eve. Yeah, that ain't gonna remember.

He saith not. And to seeds as of many, but as

of 1 and to thy seed, which is Christ, he says, saying this is

the seed, Adam. This is Christmas, Adam.

It's also a Christmas seed. You need to know what you're

dealing with. It's not just the baby you got.

You got a Christmas seed. Can you say victory seed for me?

Two times? Yeah, that's what I'm talking

about. What God is telling you is this

from Genesis to Revelation, He said, listen, I'm gonna send a

victory seed on Christmas Day. I'm gonna send you a Christmas

Adam and a victory seed. There should never be a day you

think about Christmas celebration, brother.

This ain't the time of year of this that don't nobody know.

What time of nothing is not about the time.

It's about the remembrance, you see, it'll never be a day you

remember Christmas Eve and don't remember my Christmas seed.

Think more of a Christmas Adam and a Christmas seed than a

Christmas baby. You know why?

How long was Jesus a baby? Any doctors in the house?

Baby, I think is categorized as the first 12 months.

Jesus is Christmas Adam for eternity, and he's our Christmas

seed for eternity. Why are you going to focus on

how he came for 12 months rather than how he is for eternity on

Christmas? You got a Christmas Adam and you

got a Christmas seed. Jesus was a seed, not a sample.

John 1224 says this. I assure you, most solemnly, I

tell you, listen up, listen up. Unless a grain of wheat, a seed,

falls into the earth and dies, it remains just one grain.

It never becomes more, but lives by itself alone.

See, a sample lives by itself alone.

A seed falls to the earth and dies.

A sample, that's all you got is a sample.

It never becomes nothing. Anything more but a seed has the

potential in it to do more than just be a sample.

Seeds live by dying. Seeds live by dying.

Now I want to get into this and I don't want to get into too

much history with this, but I want y'all to get schooled up to

let y'all know what y'all faith is built on.

God is not anti intellect or anti knowledge, but he's more

God than he is knowledge. You feel me?

OK Seeds live by dying. Now here's the picture of the

Manger. We always think about that.

Ain't the Manger. OK, here's the picture of the

Manger. That's the picture of the

Manger. See, back in those days, mangers

were stone pieces like that. Now, to me, that looked more

like a tomb than it does a A hay loft looks like more like a tomb

than a hay loft, a burial chamber than a hay loft.

And if you know anything about swabbing clothes, you shall find

a babe wrapped in swabbing clothes instead on Charlie Brown

lightness. OK, Swabbing clothes are linens

that wrap the baby's arms around tight.

Today, if you didn't look closely, you could confuse

swaddling clothes with burial clothes if you didn't look

closely. So God gives us Christmas seed,

wraps it in burial cloth and puts it in a tomb, in a grave to

let you know that this seed going to fall into the ground

and die. I'm telling you now, it's a

seed. It ain't meant to buy the loan.

It's meant to bring a harvest. And I'm going to tell you, see,

see here's this House of God's, a hip hop goddess levels of this

thing. See hip hop takes one picture

and flips 5 understandings off of it.

Because while that's a grave, it's also stone.

And then Bible says water shall come out the rock in the Old

Testament. So living water will come out

the stone as well. And and while it's a stone

grave, if you know my daddy was a pharmacist, I get my bad

handwriting from him. If you don't think about

pharmacy, what you say is this, you got a mortise and a pestle.

You put the things in a little stone ground thing, contain them

and you kind of ground it up like that.

That's called healing. Healing come out this thing too,

OK. And if you ever have some good,

some good salsa or some good guacamole made, they'll put a

little stone little bowl there and take a pestle like that and

make the food up, the bread of life come out this too.

I'm telling you, God is a hip hop God.

He did it all in this that's flipping and far exceeded when

you understand it, you got to understand this here.

Next picture, see see what a Manger was typically it was

under a house on the lower parts.

OK, it was underneath the upper deck.

The Manger was underneath the upper deck.

Sound a lot like nowhere to me. When you have an ark, you have

all the animals underneath the upper deck, see, because he was

also the Lamb of God, see? And this is where they keep all

the animals at right here too. So he was also the Lamb of

God-given for the salvation of the world.

Flipping and far exceeded seeds live not by just by dying, but

they also live by multiplying. If a seed they multiplying, it

was a dead seed. But Jesus is an incorruptible

seed. That means it's always going to

multiply. You take incorruptible seed, put

it on the ground, and you do this on it and plant it.

What you get harvest. Why?

Because the incorruptible seed can't be crushed, can't be

killed, can't be manipulated, can't be deceived.

Incorruptible seed will always multiply.

Seeds live by multiplying, I assure you.

Most solemnly, I tell you, Unless a grain of weed falls to

the earth and dies and remains alone, we read this.

Look at the bottom for emphasis. But if it dies, it produces many

others discipleship and years. A rich harvest, That's

generations to come. That's bumper crop.

That's more than enough. See a rich harvest and a rich

harvest. If you don't have enough to take

from your harvest and seed the next growing cycle.

A rich harvest will never leave you with just enough.

It'll always leave you more for the next generation and the next

iteration. That's a rich harvest.

Seeds live by multiplying. Now seeds lives by transforming.

Everyone say transforming that is one what y'all got to pull.

1st Corinthians 15 says this. You foolish man.

Every time you plant seeds, they seed.

You sow something that does not come to life unless it dies

first. Y'all got that concept right?

Nor is the seeds you sow then the body which is going which it

is going to have later. Nor is the seeds you sow the

body it is going to have later. But it is a naked kernel.

Came into the world naked anyway, perhaps of wheat or some

of the rest of the grains. So the what you sow, it's not

going to have the same body as later verse 42 says.

So it is with resurrection. God is telling us I gave you

seed and sowing to remind you of resurrection.

That's why there's so much fight against sowing and reaping,

because if I can get you off of sowing, I can get you off of

resurrection. The seed is supposed the way we

do our bread and our juice to remember Jesus.

Every time we give, we're supposed to remember

resurrection. So it is with resurrection of

the dead. The body that is sown is

perishable and decays, but the body that is resurrected is

imperishable. Verse 44, it says this.

It is sown a natural body. It is raised a supernatural

body. There's a transformation that

happens and it's with a seed. You saw one thing it comes up

something else. But how do you know it's really

apprised to Christ? The next verse everyone say next

verse say hold on real quick before I go there say man y'all

take stuff out of context. Y'all don't give enough from the

Bible man y'all just making it up.

Y'all picking what you want. Everyone say next verse that's

context. Verse 45.

Thus it is written, the first man, Adam, became a living

being. The last Adam became a life

giving spirit. Context says what you sow ain't

what you reap. Remember that every time you

give, because I'm reminding you of resurrection, you sow a

dollar and reap peace. You sow beyond your time and

reap joy and restoration. Remember that because you will

sow a dead life and you will reap a resurrected body and a

resurrected life. That's why I brought the second

Adam, because the second Adam, his mission in coming was to be

that resurrection Adam, to remind you always, and this is

how important it is and how essential it is to the gospel.

Our seed and our sowing should activate resurrection power.

Acts 4 says this now the company of believers, it was of one

heart and soul. Not one of them claimed anything

which he possessed exclusively. He has his own, but everything

they had was in common for use of all that's called sewing.

So they sewed next verse says, and with great strength and

ability and power. The apostles, the apostles

delivered their testimony to the resurrection and it interesting,

he says right here, they're sewing in power going to talk

about the resurrection. Every time they sowed it

reminded them of the resurrection.

Every time they gave it reminded them of the resurrection.

But but say, but wait, there's more.

Verse 34 says there was no destitute or needy person among

them for as many as owners of lands or houses proceeded to

sell them. They gave generously and in

doing so they were reminded of resurrection.

That my life, this I'm giving this seed is going to be

something different. My life was something and it's

going to be something different. There's a resurrection for my

body coming. There's a resurrection for my

life coming. Resurrection is here for me now

and here for it's still on the way.

They they remember resurrection and remembering resurrection

through giving cause them to to sacrifice.

It says they took lands and sold them right now this is really

key. And laid it at the feet of the

apostles. The response to the sacrifice

you're giving based on resurrection was it take the

sacrifices giving laid at the feet of the apostles.

Is it any wonder why folks say they don't want no more apostles

these days? You missing a link in the chain

of how you activate what God is doing.

If I can tell you ain't no apostles for today, then you

cancel out this scripture automatic that was for then that

was for that time. But if I only if you understand

there's a pattern that God has here.

Why sacrifice and lay that the apostles feed because the

apostles got his grace to give order to the building and

construction of the body and the Kingdom and the government.

Every government needs resources to run on say Christmas Eve and

it says this now Joseph of Levite say Levite.

Levite was the old religious order for all you think that

preacher shouldn't have no had nothing.

It says Joseph of Levite sold his field.

Why you angry? Because preachers got fields,

maybe God gave them to him to sacrificially so remembering

resurrection so the body can be advanced.

It says now Joseph of Levite sold the fields belong to him

and he brought the sum of money later to the apostles feed.

What you see is covenants coming together, old covenant and new

covenant, old priests and the new order of how God's going to

administrate his government. He's saying this cycle will bind

all the glory of the old covenant that with all the power

and the revelation of the new covenant and together they'll

walk forward to accomplish more than either one of them can do

by itself. So this Christmas, Adam, this

Christmas seed is exactly why we cede our victory now.

Y'all gonna read y'all? Y'all gonna play.

It's not even close. It's not even close.

We cede our victory. It's not even close.

Death can't stop him. We saw our victory.

It's not even close. Death can't stop him.

We sing our victory. It's not even close.

Death can't stop him, we declare our victory.

It's not even close. I'm telling you, death and hell

can't stop him. So This is why we can declare

like First Corinthians 15 says, oh death, resurrection, where's

your victory? Oh death, where's your sting?

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, making us

through our Lord Jesus Christ, our Christmas seed.

Christmas is victory seed. Tom, can you say with me victory

seed for me 10 times. Victory seed, victory seed,

victory seed, victory seed, victory seed, victory seed,

victory seed, victory seed, victory seed, victory seed.

Hey man, you said bro, why you said that 10 times?

Why you said that 10 times? Because the year starts now.

Why you said that 10 times? We shot at God.

Give us the budget. Why you said that 10 times?

God revivals coming to the land. Why you say that 10 times?

See in the Old Testament, the the prophet that got the king

shot an arrow and only struck the ground six times.

And the prophet said, ah, why you do that?

Because you only did it from me, did it three times.

Because you only did it three times.

You have a measure of victory, but you won't have far exceeding

victory. I wish you had done it 5 or 6 or

7 or maybe even 10 times. Because in the 10 times you'll

find perfection. In the 10 times you'll find

completion, In the 10 times you'll find far exceeding what

God's trying to do. So on this Christmas Eve,

remember there's really more about a Christmas Adam and a

Christmas seed than it is about a Christmas Eve.

And remember that your seeds should remind you of

resurrection. Every time you give, you ought

to have resurrection on your mind.

Resurrection power, resurrection life, resurrection freedom,

resurrection, deliverance, resurrection that.

And I'm going to tell you this. And if you don't have

resurrection on your mind when you give, then all you doing it

for is about the money, not the people you giving to.

Let's pray. Father, we thank you.

Now I preach better than that. Thank you.

I don't pop better than that. Thank you.

And it's not about me. I'm trying to get you to receive

in the moment. Now is the germinating moment.

Now when you get in your car 15 minutes from now.

Father, we thank you for this moment.

We thank you for this word. We thank you for your life.

We thank you that it's penetrated.

We thank you that it's transformed us.

We thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Lord God.

If you got something to thank God for, if you got anything to

think of, I'm going to ask you to get up on your feet very

quickly. Everyone rise to your feet if

you got something to thank God for it.

You nothing else you got up, not something to thank God for.

God we thank you. And everyone begin to thank the

Lord for this Christmas Eve. Thank the Lord for this

Christmas. Adam, thank the Lord for this

Christmas Eve. Ever.

Let raise your voice. God, we thank you, we thank you,

we thank you, we thank you, we thank you, we thank you.

We thank you God for this Christmas.

New Year's Eve, we will be here. We believe.

We believe it for 500 people, absolutely.

And I'm telling y'all right now, it's going to cost ain't no

donation. We, we tried that and folks,

folks love free stuff even from God.

Amen, Hallelujah. So last year we charged, this

year we will charge again. Why?

Because we going to feed y'all real good.

You're going to get a word now. This ain't the time for you to

try and see where you can volunteer and serve on New

Year's Eve. No, no, no, don't.

Don't try and find no loopholes, OK?

Anybody y'all need any help? No.

And we're going to finish this year strong.

So New Year's Eve will begin at 8:00 PM.

We will have food, we will have fun, we will have music, we'll

worship. And then I get to release this

word for 2025 finally that people been bugging me like what

is it? What is it?

So I'm so ready to release the word for 2025.

I think it's going to bless you guys.

So be praying for me that I make sure I get everything that God

has and it's going to be a powerful year, but it's also

going to be a powerful closing of 2024.

So don't forget we still got a few more days to believe God for

what He promised for 2024. Also, I don't have the exact

number yet, but the other day, I think Sunday for our victory

seed, it's money still coming in, but up to this point we will

end up saying that we brought in between 60 and $65,000.

Amen. Hallelujah.

Now the goal was how much. So before the year is out, we

believe in for how much 35 grand left.

OK, 35 to 40 grand. Can we turn that down?

Can we turn it down please? I don't want to compete with

with with y'all amazing anointed resurrected musicians.

Hallelujah. Just just take note a couple

things as we close. First of all, thank you, Elder

John. I really pray that you guys got

the prophetic parts of the. Thank you, Thank you.

Thank you, Elder John. Yeah, there's so many parts.

I see. Yes.

Elder John. Elder Roseanne, your husband has

crossed into the victorious man you always knew he was supposed

to be and be. And I got everything that you

laid down. Stuff that wasn't said is the

most important stuff. But you was talking right there.

And I'm glad I moved out the way because I wouldn't have found

that word. I would have had one, but it

wouldn't have been that. But just want to leave you with

a couple thoughts. Adam wasn't chosen, he was

created. This is powerful.

You were chosen. Like when?

When Elder John is giving those graphics to how we see

ourselves. We can walk on the mountain.

The mountain can't walk on us. We can.

We can. We can ski skirt across the

ocean. The fish can't ski skirt across

the earth. We could fly in the airplanes,

right? It's not one reason any of you

in here should question who you are and be mad somebody don't

want to be with you or mad because a job rejects you.

Adam was created. You were chosen.

Think about all the gifts that you are buying.

You have to make up your mind to choose who to give gifts to, and

everybody who's in your life ain't getting a gift.

You chose who to give a gift to. You chose what kind of gift you

thought they were worthy of, and you thought about them, right?

Jesus was our gift from the Father.

God did not have to do it. Adam was the security deposit.

I don't believe God was caught off guard when Adam disobeyed or

he would have went to him like he did Peter.

He told Peter you was going to fail.

He said, Adam, you have a choice to fall, and because you have a

choice, I have a son. Think about a security deposit.

What is it put up for in case there's damages?

So Jesus didn't come as the seed of death per SE.

He had to die because Adam died. Jesus was born resurrected King,

Come on. Jesus was born incorruptible.

If he wasn't incorruptible, he wouldn't have made it through

the cross and the sacrifice wouldn't count it.

Mary human being carried incorruptible in our boom.

I'm telling you this next year, what we're about to step into is

what God is about to do. It is what he's about to bring.

Your life will be incorruptible every blessing the what God's

about to do in your bloodline. It will not be taken out your

bloodline until Jesus return. Am I talking to anybody right

this you need Bible. You should have been here the

other day but he says your shame will be no more.

You understand this you're pregnant with incorruptible

gifts and blessings. OK, so This is why this next

year is going to be very careful, a very a very good one.

And we got to be very careful. And then you said, Elder John

about the way to see goes down. It's going to come back far

exceeding. And I just wrote down this

simple little thing. It won't come up the way it went

down. Now, you know, if you urban, you

heard people say, man, that's how it went down.

You were molested, that's how it went down.

Divorce, rejected, abandoned, that's how it went down.

Fire, that's how it went down. You failed a few times, that's

how it went down. Your parents abandoned you,

that's how it went down. You was addicted to drugs one

day, but that's how it went down, right?

I'm preaching right now, that's why I get you.

So right now, if you listen to what I said before, you'd be

shouting already because I said the way it went down ain't the

way it's about to come up. Right.

I was born in a single parent household, that's how it went

down. But my kids is born with two

parents in this house. The way it go down ain't the way

it's coming up. Come on.

Say that the way it went down ain't the way it's about to come

up. Stand to your feet.

I don't care how it went down in 2024-2025, it ain't coming up

that way. Give your neighbor a high five,

say the way it went down ain't the way it's coming up.

Your marriage suffered for a little while.

That's how it went down. But moving forward, your

marriage is on the come up. The way it went down ain't the

way it's about to come up. And then as you sow today on

your way out, as you sow today on your way out, we give to keep

getting a greater seed. We don't sow for a harvest, we

sow for a seed, it said. It says when you sow a seed it

goes in the ground and die. And what comes up?

More seed. So you've been looking at your

harvest as something that you keep.

No, God's giving you a greater seed to sow.

So this year you was only able to sow 20 in the ground, but the

harvest is going to allow you next year to sow 1000.

And in order to have a greater seed, you got to have a greater

harvest. So I'm going to leave for.

Greater seed that says. My mind is on being a greater

sower versus. A greater receiver.

Say the way it went down ain't the way it's about to come up.

You have a wonderful, wonderful Merry Christmas.

I will see you New Year's Eve now when you come here.

New Year's Eve. Come here expecting.

Come here with your running shoes on.

Come here with a new attitude. Come here ready to tear off the

roof because the King's in the house.

Just lead me to Jesus. I don't care how.

Amen. Have a wonderful time with your

family. Don't let your crazy uncle take

your peace. Or crazy Mama.

Whoever it is. Don't let nobody take your

peace. You are free from guilt, you are

free from condemnation, and you are free from people

misunderstanding you. Huh.

Oh yeah, we going to see you next Sunday.

We will have experience at 9:00 AM and at 11:30, no evening

experience. So we got two times to be

together and then Saturday prayer.

So if you'd like to pray, you got another opportunity. 10:00

in Vancouver. Amen.

Hallelujah. I love y'all so much.

Tell somebody you love. Tell three people you love them.

Tell three people the way it went down ain't the way it's

about to come up. And until next time you know

what it is, get show. Love kicks, man.
