INCREASE: The Acceleration and Expansion of the Kingdom (1130) - 12.22.2024 (Pastor Terrance Richmond)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

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

church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

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

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

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

some tea and get ready to receive.

It's go time. Let's get into it.

Amen. Hallelujah.

Somebody say love. Hey, if I'm going to waste my

time to call you out, that mean I really love you.

I miss you, girl. You're all the way in Toronto.

You ain't about to. Oh, you're going to.

Hey, man, Hey, man, anybody. We got a couple more seats.

Some folks looking at me, so I ain't going to even mess with

you. So I'm not going to mess with

some of y'all. Some of y'all scary, so I'm not

going to even mess with y'all. All right, there's so many

people in the world that's dying from a lack of attention.

So I'm not I could have preached on on this just whole moment,

but I'm not going to even preach.

Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you.

We have eyes to see and ears to hear this morning and I thank

you for your word. Who are we?

You want to talk to us? The Creator of the heavens and

earth wants to talk to us. May we realize the privilege

that the Father wants to talk to his children.

May we realize the privilege and the blessing that the veil is

torn so we can come to his to your feet, Father, and come

boldly and and place a demand on revelation.

We don't have to be stuck at mysteries.

Yeah, just praying that that Lord unlock some mysteries today

in Jesus name, Amen. Really quick.

So we've been dealing with increase and God truly does have

increase on his mind. So I was sitting over there and

I was thinking about it. I'm going to just probably take

like 60 seconds for myself, for myself.

I'm going to be super selfish right now.

OK, super selfish. I, I give a lot to other people

and I just want to be super selfish.

And why I want to be super selfish is because I'm somebody

in this room that actually feel like this coming year,

everything's going to change for the better.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I told you this moment for me,

like, you know, once I finished, then you, if you, if you agree,

then have your moment, right? Have your moment.

But, but let me finish telling you what the moment is about.

Way too often some of you are afraid to praise God for the

revelation he gave you because somebody next to you don't don't

see it the way you see it. So you keep your praise to

yourself, right? Because it's almost like if you

get a new car, like a brand new car, you probably at least me

like it depend on the car. You don't even want to ride it

to church because you like somebody going to say something,

right? Sometimes you hinder your praise

because I don't know if you ever felt guilty for being happy,

guilty for being blessed. All right.

And so the reason I'm taking 60 seconds for myself is first of

all, so Michael can leave and and get off stage and clean up

his. I'm just messing with you.

Amen. I love you.

I love you, Michael, but I'm just like, I really do got a

revelation of like God really wants to be a blessing to me.

I'm saying me right now. That's the selfish part because

I'm always telling you who who you are in Christ and how much

he wants to turn it around for you and how much he wants to

heal you and how much he desires this, this, this.

And sometimes I get tired of telling people because you stare

at me like, Hey, man, Hallelujah.

And so I'm actually going to take a moment for myself and

praise him for what I really believe he's about to do #1

before the year is out. So what I'm praising him for is

not because of what I think he's about to do next year, I'm

praising him for what he's done and what he's about to do in

these last 8-9 days, OK #1. And then number.

Two, I am going to praise Him for what I truly believe He is

about to do in 2025. See, this is what you got to

understand. I don't need to know exactly

what He's going to do. I just know whatever God do is

good, right? So I'm just going to take me 60

seconds. For.

Me, I'm like, I'm not praising for do I'm not getting this

praise on for my wife. I'm not getting this praise on

for my kids. Like I am about to be selfish.

And I'm letting you know if I, I don't know what my praise don't

look like. I don't know what the musician

is going to do. I don't know if I'm getting up

on my knees. I don't know if I'm in the

clapping. I don't know if I'm a dance.

But I'm telling you my praise is not for you.

OK, If you want, if you want to praise and if you don't have to

do your own praise. Now, a lot of times I'm up here

and I'm praising for you. I'm dancing for you.

I'm interceding for you. My praise is intercession.

I am telling you right now, my praise is not about you at all

right now, OK? I'm not interceding for you

right now. I am not praying for you right

now. I'm not seeing it.

I'm not lifting up a shout of praise for it.

Nobody in this room but me. I'm about to be selfish right

now. OK.

The Bible said David encouraged himself, right?

So let me give you a little bit of scripture, OK?

He said, I will bless the Lord at all times and his praises

shall continually be in my mouth.

Now here's the other part. If there's anybody that wants to

join me and be selfish with me and praise for yourself, this

praise ain't even for your Mama. This is you're not praising for

the bucket list. You get what I'm?

Saying, I'm really trying to really want to emphasize one

word right now. Selfish.

This is a. Selfish praise, OK, and I'm I'm

just personally taking 60 seconds, OK, And I just believe

God's going to he's been really good.

I don't, I don't, I don't want my seed to praise for me, 'cause

some of y'all sew and think that's that's good enough.

Some of y'all come to church and think that's good enough.

Man, if you don't open your little stale mouth and get them

little hands, you know? He might heal your arthritis.

You know what I'm saying? Like so you do your own thing.

But I'm gonna, I'm gonna have a moment for myself.

Hallelujah. Thank you.

Jesus. The.

Hallelujah. We bless your name, Lord.

God, We thank you for saving us. We thank you for healing us.

We thank you, Lord. God, you brought us from a

mighty long way, Lord, and we thank you.

Thank you for bringing us through this year.

Thank you for bringing our family members home this year.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you for breaking

depression this year. Thank you for breaking anxiety

this year. Thank you for breaking cycles in

our bloodline this year. Thank you for breaking poverty

this year. You're worthy God.

You're worthy God. You're worthy, God.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Hallelujah. You be seated, stand whatever

you be seated, however you want to do it.

But somebody shout out increase. Yeah, that wasn't a shout.

Somebody shout out increase. Hallelujah.

This morning we went through, we started, and I'm going to run

through some things for just a basic review.

If you're really interested in connecting the two messages,

meaning between this, this morning, 9:00 AM and now, then

it'll be on Spotify or yeah, it'd be on our channels

tomorrow. You can go back and really get

caught up. But in Luke 17, the religious

folks are, you know, when's the Kingdom coming?

Where's it coming from? You know, the Kingdom of God,

like, like somehow they're trying to bottle the Kingdom of

God into this material thing that can be seen, touched,

controlled, dictated. And he says that the Kingdom of

God is not coming with signs to be observed or with visible

display, nor will people say, look, here it is, right?

I love God because he's like, if you could say, look, here it is.

It's too small, right? If you could be like, look at

God because I got a car that's too small.

What? How do you explain that to an

atheist who got a car? You see, it's like we think so

small and we want to go. We, what we want to do is tell

testimonies of things. When's the last time you heard

somebody so passionate about men?

Like, like, I really have overcome depression or I really

got my joy back. I'm, I'm laughing again.

I'm dancing again like oh man, peace.

Is in my home, right? We're, we're, we're just

bombarding heaven so we can come out, impress somebody and say,

look at what God did right. That, that, that, that that's

like. So then in these last days when

it's so dark, then what is going to be the difference between the

world and the church if all we got to show is material?

Things. Because if we, if we going to

play, if we going to play that game, then it looks like, you

know, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Drake, you go on and on.

Ben Affleck, you want to, you know what I'm saying?

I'm trying to diversify, right? You, you then it looks like

thank God is winning. I'm just saying, let's be real,

because a lot of you in here are here and you, I don't what is

yours? What is your motivation for

sitting in church to listen to the word today?

Why are you here? Some folks are here because it's

just they've been going to church for a long time and they

just want to hear a good word. Some folks will sit in here just

to make sure that it's and evaluate the whole time.

Is this really solid doctrine? Like what are you here for?

And here's the thing, what are you going to do with what God's

about to release to you? If you're not going to do

nothing with the word, you're wasting your time here.

What you doing like God is speaking through his his

vessels. And once you've heard it, here's

the part. Let me give you a chance to go.

Once you hear the word, you're responsible for it.

So what's about to be released? If you don't want to be

responsible, you should probably go.

OK, so you just said God, whatever you tell me.

Today I'll be responsible for it.

Remember, you took that stand, right?

He's not God's not here to give you a word of just think the

word should encourage. But that's kind of all we that's

all we want from the word. You know, sometime the word

should not encourage you. It actually should make you a

little mad, like ask some people who's been around lately and

being on our Wednesday night and our leadership like the the true

gospel should, there should be a temptation to be offended if

you're only moved by what is like encouraging to you.

And like, sometimes you're not walking out of here like a

little frustrated. I couldn't sit in the church

where I'm not challenged. Absolutely not.

If you're not challenged, you're dying.

There's no growth without challenge.

That's why I don't understand how people are settling and

being in. Look, look, what church I go to

is worth moving to. Y'all ready?

Y'all ready? I'll move to Canada for church.

That that's not my that's not my work for men.

Some of y'all will sit in a church that that is is as dead.

You might as well be cemetery Baptist Church.

It's dead no life and you can play you come love.

All the worship at love quest is so lively.

No love quest worship is not lively.

Heaven is lively and just. Heaven hangs out at Love Quest

like it's life or death. I don't care if I'm 70 years

old, if I don't care if I'm in a wheelchair.

My church shouldn't match my wheelchair.

Now I got to go somewhere where I Dang near feel like getting

out my wheelchair. Like I fall on the floor and be

like, man, somebody get me up. I swore I was.

I could walk. Y'all not even hear me right now

that there should be something in the atmosphere that make you

feel like what I couldn't do before I walked in here.

Maybe I could do it. Maybe I can do it now, right?

You should walk into church. I walked in with a messed up

marriage, but boy, some made me feel like we can get our bounce

back. You hear what I'm saying?

You walk in hopeless. Some menu should be like oh oh I

can do it. Some of y'all just like but why?

Why people like dead churches see on us Because dead churches

don't challenge you. They just happy you there.

Nah, I don't care if there's two people here.

Wherever we go, we're going to have some church.

We're going to have some church. I don't care.

Where is that? So all right, enough of the dead

people. All right.

It says you're not going to be able to just put your finger on,

on, on the Kingdom. And it says for the Kingdom of

God is among you because of my presence.

Oh, so tempted to elaborate on that.

OK. The Kingdom of God is is is

among us because of presence like heaven.

I don't know if this makes sense to some of you, but heaven

literally abides with you. That's why when we think heaven

is just like up there, TBT says the Kingdom is not discovered in

one place or another. For God's Kingdom realm is

already expanding. Where's that?

Within what? Within some of you?

Here's the question. What if I told you the Kingdom

of God is within you? But here's the question, is it

expanding? It is it is it?

Is the Kingdom of God influencing your life to to

where you can't keep it in like whatever the Kingdom is doing,

it's controlling your life just like the Kingdom of darkness was

expanding in my life. One at one point, you know the

ones you go to clubs, you drink, smoke, you do it, you do all

these sleep around, watch porn, all that.

Guess what Kingdom of darkness is expanding, right?

It leads to controlling your life.

So the people that struggle with God controlling their lives or

leading their lives. It's his Kingdom is not taking

over your life. The Kingdom of God points to the

ruling activity of God over God's people.

The ruling activity. The ruling activity.

Over the world. God has made another word for

the Kingdom of God is the reign of God.

Is God reigning in your life? Isn't it funny how we'll say God

is the he's Jesus is the Lord of our lives?

How many people have you got? A landlord?

What does that mean? Huh?

He reigns over your house, right?

So is Jesus Lord. Here it is question, is Jesus

Lord or Savior? Right?

We want a Savior, huh? Save me from hell.

But but here it is. The way you get heaven on earth

is when he's Lord over your life.

Hallelujah. I think it is grace.

I really think it's good. I hope everybody's getting a

slice. Amen.

The Kingdom of God is where God is a present reality and is

intended to grow. OK, so the Kingdom of God comes

to expand. It comes to increase that.

You can't stop the Kingdom of God from exploding.

Ain't it funny how this entire holiday is about Jesus but it's

not? Worry seems to be expanding

more, but this entire like folks, is off work because of

Jesus, out of school because of Jesus.

But how much of your break is getting Jesus?

Amen. The Kingdom of God is a volcanic

activity meant to mature, influence and expand, creating

Kingdom movement, movement somebody shout out movement

increase this word increase increase is to grow, it's to

increase, it's to enlarge. It is it?

It refers to the growth of that which is alive.

Somebody shout out alive. Naturally or spiritually say

alive, when we're talking about increase, we're not just talking

about monetary stuff, right? What we're talking about is

every area of our lives increasing.

I'm, I'm sorry, but I am not preaching this so you can get

more money. I'm preaching.

This. I'd much rather you be broke

with joy and broke with peace than to be wealthy, he says.

What is the profit? A man to gain the whole world

but lose his soul. You, you're a billionaire.

But no peace, no real peace. The only reason you got peace is

because you got money. Take your money.

You don't want to live. And it should not be the case

that so many Christians don't have peace.

Increase, increase, somebody say increase.

It means greatness. It's something you unusually

large. I don't know about y'all, but my

praise is for the unusual. Why would God present himself as

the God of the impossible if he didn't want us to believe for

impossible? Right?

Because if it's possible, all you got to do is go work for it.

That's not fun. Somebody say abundance.

It says large in size and dimension, so you can speak

dimension in measurements, but when we're talking about

increase love question if you've been around lately, God is also

taking us to another level, another dimension.

So we can't stay the same. Wednesday to the leaders, it was

yesterday's price ain't today's price.

And what that means is you got to stop thinking that God is

demanding as little as he used to demand, like, like what God

asked me to do in 2007 versus 2010.

Versus 2015, the sacrifices, the prices continue to go up.

Some of y'all won't increase in blessing but stay at the same

level as sacrifice. Am I talking to anybody in here?

Cafe. What are y'all serving back

there? You we, we want we want more

from that. You have not taken the gas off

the pedal when it comes to asking God for stuff.

But you still want little baby sacrifice, right?

You you want to work, you want to live it, you want to have a

career, but you still want the same breaks your students get.

Why they out of school? They in school?

That's right, they in school. You work now, right is when the

when the young college when you're young college student,

your kids get a job and they realize, oh, I should have this

working thing ain't all or what so they want to work, but then

they want to take off because they still want to have vacation

like when they was in high school.

They want snow days. Your job don't got no snow day

can't get to work. I'm sorry to tell some of y'all,

but the prices went up. So God says thank you for how

you have sacrificed. But this next level of dimension

is going to take a a mature level of laying down your life.

Somebody say increase. Come on.

Somebody said it with an attitude.

Somebody said, somebody said it with some joy and faith.

They increase, right? We went over in John 7, There's

this living water that lives within us, this Kingdom, the

Holy Spirit lives within us, this springs, these springs and

rivers of living water springs and rivers of living water.

Now if you just more now gave the example, I'll take a drink,

right? And just never seen so many

water bottles. So I'll move to British

Columbia, right. And there's this natural thing

that's taking place. The more water that I drink,

what's what's happening within me?

Huh? I'm getting hydrated.

What else is happening? I'm eating my my belly is

expanding. Now if you get that real good

alkalinized water where the molecules real tiny, real tiny,

real tiny, you don't get bloated like tap water and all some of

that other water. So it flushes through you real

quick. Y'all don't know nothing about

that. That's the expense of water.

That's expensive water and when you buy in alkalinized water at

the store, it's not as alkalinized as they say it is

because the alkalinization stays around only for a few a little

couple days. Still good water take.

I got one in the machine so I know what I'm talking about.

That 9.5 is where it's at. Like I get real 9.5 like I'm

drinking 9.5 out the faucet. You buying those bottles at the

store and of 9.5 been gone. OK, but but what's happening is

number one, the benefit is I'm getting hydrated.

Somebody says hydrated but what else is happening?

I'm flushing toxins out. OK, I'm flushing it out.

Now if all I did was drink a few enough to get hydrated and then

just flush but didn't rehydrate, what would happen?

I would get back to dehydrating, so I have to keep on what

drinking. That's what the Bible says.

It says be ye drunk or drinking, not drunk with wine, but

drinking of the Holy Spirit. Constantly drinking because my

life. Why do I need to constantly

drink? Because there's a demand on me

to constantly pour, right? So some of you are at work 50

hours a week. What are you doing?

Porn, porn, porn, porn, porn. And you only got 90 minutes for

God a Sunday or a week. You dehydrated.

That's why you angry, frustrated, quick tempered,

offended because you dehydrated. Your spiritual lips are chapped.

Right. You are dehydrated spiritually,

and that's why your walk with God waivers like a dehydrated

person. Your vision is blurt.

You're losing sight because you're dehydrated, right?

What's meant is that you come get filled.

You're around people that will pour into you.

You're connected to the irrigation system of the body of

Christ and you're constantly around fountains and living.

I hang out with people with rivers.

How many of your friends and family members got rivers of

living water? I know we got friends with

rivers of messiness and gossip and toxicity and drama and

complaining. But if you are going to live

amongst the drainers, you have to hang out with poorers.

Am I talking to somebody? Some of you live a life only

around people that take from you, so you got to keep

drinking. But what happens if you're not

flushing right when you're in the hospital and they got to

help you release right? When they got to put the what's

the thing? They got to put it.

What is a catheter? Somebody talk to me.

Catheter is for what, doc? Huh.

All kinds of stuff. OK, We're not going to ask the

doctor. That's OK.

OK, you say. Can somebody give me a Catheters

for Dummies answer, please? It's for it's to help you

release. OK.

Now now, here we go. This is how discipleship works

because some of you are so backed up.

You need. So you need a.

You need a a catheter. You need a just, you need a

mentor. You need to come to church.

But you got to get to a place where Sunday is not your

catheter, no more where you come to get released, right?

It's not even about filling you on Sundays for some of you, it's

about releasing all the crap. When are you going to mature and

you're going to you're going to come actually being a poorer to

the atmosphere and not leeching off of other people's praise,

right? What the fact that you don't

open your mouth or you don't clap or you don't dance.

Here's the sign you're not releasing.

So what's happening? There's this backup you bloated

if you cannot use the washroom, if you came number one or two

for days, you need assistance. So when people come in here and

they just oh, you can't get you cannot here it is.

You cannot get filled with living water and not release it.

Impossible. Yeah, hey, look, you can't hold

this good stuff in and. Look, when I drink this

alkalinized water, this 9.5, let let me let me let me just be

vulnerable right now. I got to pee right now.

I got I got to use it right now. OK, When you drinking good

water, you don't tell it when the flood like it it runs

through you. How can you hold it back when

God when the God stuff is meant to go through you?

How can you? How?

What kind of strength you got and what kind of energy are you

spending to hold God back in your life?

Am I talking to somebody? What's this song?

This is the good news. Review Reading this for you.

That's wrong. That's.

You. You get what I'm saying?

Like that was that wasn't even matching them, you know what I'm

saying? So then the good news, this is

the good news, right? What is the good news meant to

do? OK, OK, OK.

Have you ever ate at a good restaurant?

Did you keep it to yourself? No, I've never kept a good

restaurant to to to myself ever. Why'd you tell people no, no,

no, Hold on, hold on. Why?

When the burger came, you was like

anybody follow Andrew? Any what's?

Up good people, right? You get what I'm saying?

What? Why'd you tell people, huh?

So good, dude. So, so, so, so has has Jesus.

Been better than you know, some of you right so so when you walk

in here, how do you how can you hold that back right?

We instantly when we encounter a good burger, we instantly BA

fries BA racket lamb BA right? Are we that quick?

Are we that quick with when we get some revel?

Are we that quick with the goodness of God?

The point is here guys is don't expect increase if God can't get

increase through you because God's increase is never about

you or supposed to stop at you. Hallelujah.

Proverbs 9 says when the righteous are in authority and

become great, the people rejoice, but when the wicked man

rules, the people groan and sigh.

I am bent on Love Quest being an essential church that will at

least when trouble hits the earth, people will have an

option. Do you know the lack of the

church vibrancy? We leave the world no other

choice than to turn to the world for fun and joy and excitement.

It's why I can't. I would never even sow into a

dead church. If you let me ask you this.

If you sow a seed into a dead church, what does that mean

about your seed dead? That's why we call our coffee

shop Good Grounds, right? It's a good ground.

I could never sow into a dead church.

Your money ain't going to bring it alive.

If the Spirit can't bring it alive.

Your money show ain't going to bring it alive.

You just going to have more dead stuff.

You know why we invest in these instruments?

Because them fingers is alive. The spirit on the musicians is

alive, right? You.

You get what I'm saying? You get what I'm saying?

The the Spirit is alive, right? You know why we invest in in,

in, in, in. Where the microphone where your

microphone that this one see smart see, we kept the receiver.

But you know why we invested in this this new mic capsule?

It's a little nice little price, because the voice that's going

through it is alive. You know what I'm saying?

This is why we invest in what we invest in because the spirit is

alive and it it takes working equipment to communicate alive.

Amen. You you think I'm joking?

Take our worship team to some some places.

You when I say literally the sound can't handle the alive.

All right, all right, all right. So what's in you should be a

blessing, but also what's in you when it comes around dead stuff.

It should struggle staying dead. Am I talking to somebody?

Come on. Come on, Come on.

Look at your neighbors. Say, if you was dead before you

sat next to me, something should be changing.

Come on. If you was dead.

Hey, so so so. Plan beforehand.

He had a good work plan beforehand.

Man I wish I can go into what I talked about this morning but

some of y'all working too hard. And the reason you're working as

hard as you working is because you're working on your plan.

He had a plan pre arranged and prepared beforehand right?

So let me help you. His plan will never lead you to

worry right Malachi? His plan will never lead you to

anxiety. No in in his plan that he

prepared it has everything for all three parts of you.

So it not only has money and provision and resources.

It what God has planned for you is is is is is is so wealth.

So I don't care how much we left behind in Cali.

I don't care that God's called us to build this garage out.

There is nothing about this assignment that has taken my

peace. Why?

Because this assignment was pre arranged.

What you working on? Hallelujah.

All right, God is able to make all grace and everything.

No you know what y'all go listen to this.

This morning we broke this thing down and it is so good.

But if I I'm going to get stuck here, and I don't want to get

stuck here, is that OK? So if you really care about what

was said about this passage this morning, you should go and watch

it. Even if it's just why?

Why is this so much? I'm sorry, y'all.

Why is there so much movement going on?

No. No.

Hero. Good.

That's a good one. That's our intercessory team.

Tell them about rain. We know how many mobs we need.

Amen. Hallelujah.

She just grabbed a mob like she was.

She wasn't even doing nothing at first.

Amen, Hallelujah. All right, and God is able to

make all grace in every favor and earthly blessing come to

you. This This is why we have the

boldness and courage and faith to say, Lord, bring the budget.

Somebody, some, somebody, somebody, somebody would hear

that and be like go. Go get it yourself.

Go out there and work and. Get it?

Sewing his work. Ask the farmer what kind of work

sowing is. Yeah, come to you.

So bring the bring us the budget, Lord, how can we sow

courageously? Because we're a generous church.

We're we're a sowing church, not only in money, but we spend time

on souls. Do we ever.

And we believe. But he says, I just believe his

word. He says that he can make it come

to us in abundance. I love on service skimpy God

some of us today skimpy but but my God is not skimpy Hallelujah

Amen Amen. We're not going to park there

say say so we have enough under all circumstances and whatever

somebody say whatever. Now if somebody came in.

Have you ever went out to eat with somebody that was treating

and they gave you that whatever you want on the now if you ever

hung out with the people who say whatever and you start ordering

whatever and they like hold on. But have you?

Ever hung out with some whatever people?

Have you ever experienced? The freedom of whatever is there

anybody that just want to be whatever?

Well, you don't want to be whatever if you're only thinking

about increase for you, OK, you enter into whatever when you are

a person that God can get it through.

OK. All right.

And it says that you have enough to require no aid or support and

furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable

donation. Say the Lord's talking about me.

All right, let's move on. 2nd Corinthians 9 He gives seed to

the sower so if I'm a sower, I always have what see you got to

get that so you can't walk up in church during offering time be

like I ain't got nothing to give if if we checked your heavenly

record guarantee you struggling sewing because a sower always

have what see just like an alcoholic.

I don't care how broke they are. Guess what they go always have

alcohol. I don't care how crackhead.

And cracked out you are. How does the crackhead always

have crack? Look, come on, look at look at

the look at the energy and the life of a crackhead.

They going to get they going to steal some furniture.

They going like when's the last time you went in between your

car seats to get an offering? Come on, that's why you're going

to be blessed in abundance. You get what I'm saying?

Like like like like like. Take it how, how, how does the

crackhead, oh, how does the dealt let's, let's do this.

How does the devil always make sure the addict has what they

need? How does the devil assure his

children have all their needs? The devil only supplies the

needs that will bring worship to him.

So I'm going to get you crack because that brings me glory.

I'm going to make sure you have heroin because that brings you

me glory. I'm going to make sure you find

the porn site because that brings me glory.

And and, and so, so if the devil, then what about your God?

Then come on, come on. If if the devil know how to take

care of his children, you know my God.

No, look, I ain't when I was smoking weed.

I mean, I don't care how man. I had money for weed, but not

snacks. Ain't nothing worse than being

high with no snacks, you hear me?

But but there's always that like, but there's always

provision for destruction. So how are you stuck in worrying

about provision that's going to bring God glory.

This is why he wants to bless you, because it brings.

This is all he asked the children of Israel.

When I bless you, just don't forget me.

Somebody say increase. All right, I got to, I got to.

I got to move on. I got to move on, OK, got to

move on. He said he will fully supply.

Here it is verse 12. We didn't touch this last

service. He said he's going to bring us

increase for the service that the ministering of this fund

renders does not only fully supply what is lacking to the

Saints, but it also overflows in many cries of Thanksgiving to

God. Here's what it's saying, Troy.

The the the. Overflow is not just about

supplying for a need. The overflow leads to praise

when you don't need nothing. That's a witness.

He's like, I want to increase you so you can see, so people

can see what it's like to depend on me.

Because the problem or reason why people are stuck to the

world because they depend on what the world is offering to

fulfill a need. I'm at the club because I have a

need for joy and fun. Here it is.

And underneath that, to escape the realities of the world, I

have a need to get high or a need to get drunk to escape

something. I'm not smoking because I think

it's healthy. I'm not getting drunk and

destroying my kidneys because I just love myself.

And this is the God thing. No, I'm running from something.

So God says, can there be a healthy enough church that when

we do praise and worship, some folks will say, man, it's like

being at a concert. So to some people that's evil.

To some people they like, I can go to this church, right?

The same way with, with, with finances, same way with

resources, same way with us owning our own warehouse full of

basketball courts and volleyball courts.

So people can come to us to run leagues and tournaments and we

can, right? You ever go to a gym where

they're just playing degrading, disgusting music the whole time

and you're trying to work out, but you can't help but to hear

this, this, this stuff that's violating, right?

So all you got to do, all you have is a choice to zone out and

become accustomed to the world's way.

But you don't know how many people are waiting, standing on

tiptoe for the world to rise to sunship.

And a part of sunship is increase, right?

You can't say we return into the garden without the increase that

was in it. That's how he made us to be

fruitful, to multiply. That multiplication was in the

beginning. It was a part of how he told us

to live, subdue, have dominion, this old false humility that the

belief Lord just help me get enough.

That ain't even Bible. You can be broken content,

right? My content don't have nothing to

do with me expecting more of what God promised.

So because I have contentment in myself and I'm not running

around trying to raise millions of dollars, No, he told me how

to get it. He just told me he's going to

make it happen. So I got to pray for the doors

to knock on, not just knock on some of y'all knock on any door

and any door open, you're like, whoa, look at God.

Any door closed, you're disappointed.

Instead of praying that God leads you to the door to knock.

On. And sometimes he will lead you

to a door that will close in your face.

But it's not a wasted closed door.

It's a development closed door. Some of y'all stack in

disappointment because you keep knocking on doors you want to

knock. On Hallelujah, Hallelujah, this

is a good Sunday. Good day.

Proverbs 3 Lean on, trust in and be confident in the Lord.

Lean on trust in, be confident in the Lord.

Lean on, trust in and be confident in the Lord.

Lean on, trust in and be confident in the Lord with all

your heart. What does all mean and mine?

What does all mean? And do not rely on your own

insight and your own understanding.

Do not rely on your own insight and your own understanding.

This can't be like, well, my gut feeling.

Yeah. Bubble guts.

Oh, this what feel good to me. This what don't feel good to me?

No. Goosebumps is not an indication

of God. You goosebump LED people in all

your ways. Here it is.

And what does all mean? What does all mean?

In all your ways, know, recognize and acknowledge Him

and He will direct and make straight and playing your play.

In all your ways, know him in it.

No, no, no, you just don't start dating.

Know him in it. Does God have room to be like

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not this one.

Not even for coffee. All right, let me just move on

since folks don't be folks be squirming when you come for

their relationships. They want their little their

little comfort. Amen, Hallelujah.

Be not wise in your own eyes. Be not wise in your own eyes.

Reverently, fear and. Worship the Lord and turn.

What does it entirely mean? Entirely away, evil.

Turn entirely away. So does that mean entirely?

Does that mean that you can't double Dutch with evil?

Did anybody double to anybody? Anybody, Right, That means turn,

not a 360. Like look at me, God, I've

changed back to where I was. Right.

There's not, it's, it's no. Why are you?

Why are you still walking like this with God?

Why are we walking? It's too many Christians with a

limp. Why are you limping?

Why you got 1 foot in over? Here what does entirely mean?

Don't blame God, don't blame the devil.

It's you. So if increase coming your.

Posture is this. You you don't even have room

for. You're not even positioned for

increase. You're not braced for increase,

you don't have a foundation for increase.

You can't handle it like this. You can't reach for God's

abundance but also have a hand over here because you're afraid

to leave this life that's called lukewarm.

Says when you do this, here it is, here it is.

And I and I get, I, I really believe, I don't believe in, but

I believe mental health, mental sick illness is a real thing.

I got to be. Careful because people are

worshipping mental illness so I don't want to mess with some of

y'all mental health right now because you believe your

therapist more than the word and you believe.

Google more than the word. So I'm going to let you hold on

to your diagnosis so you don't got to believe God for

wholeness. But here's the real truth of

what the words say. While you waiting for the meds

to kick in Before I go there, do you know that some kids struggle

in school? The school will tell you that

there's a mental disorder going on, but some of their focus is

it it is hindered by diet. Diet in what?

Sleep see maybe you're we get mental health if you just close

IG off for next year. Oh, you don't want health, you

don't want health. You want you want, you want to

have you want to have elite focus, but still be on

Instagram. Like some of the stuff that we

are taking meds for could be we could be off meds for a

lifestyle change, but we want to take meds to keep lifestyle.

So I'm going to take what's some things called, what's the I'm

going to take birth control for what the greatest birth control

is to do it the Lord's way. And if it don't happen that way.

Amen. So what you're still loved, but

the point is is it costs to try and hold on the lifestyle and

follow Jesus. So so here's you got to read the

word he says When you turn completely to me, when you trust

in my way and not your understanding.

Here's the benefits and here's the increase that lifestyle, it

shall be health to your nerves. So peace, as we have learned,

the peace of God regulates our nervous system literally.

So now Peter, instead of running and being a coward because his

nerves take over and he can't handle pressure, now Peter is

willing to be beheaded and stand in the middle of the town and

say I'm preaching this gospel and if you want me dead, kill

me. What kind of peace is that?

The peace of God that transcends understanding.

It transcends all understanding, which means it's almost like

your nervous system. It's not dead to it, but the

peace of God is a, it's a, it's a higher than than every two

weeks you got peace because you got paid or as long as that

boyfriend don't break up with you, you got peace.

He says. I give you peace, not as the

world gives you. In other words, I can give you a

piece meds can't give you. Oh, I can give you a piece that

that strand of marijuana can't give you.

Some of Y'all smoke weed still? Yeah.

You smoke weed. How do I know that?

I don't need to be there. God knows.

That's why he's saying it right now.

You're a pothead. I'm saying it that way because I

was one. You're a drug, and when you

can't break it, it ain't crack, but it's a drug, so you're a

drug addict. Why am I being so blunt with

you? It's not me being blunt with you

as much as it's your father saying I'm trying to regulate

your life in a way that's going to bring wholeness to your life.

I'm trying to take the pain of trauma from your life but you

keep replacing me for substances.

Weed ain't going to never bring you to sanity.

That's not what weed does. Weed is a regulator.

It's going to help you chill out.

It's going to help you forget some stuff.

But that's why you got to keep smoking it because it don't do

the job. Sorry what the world told you

and. Now we didn't gave it to the

church is legal, is medicine is healthy for you, right?

See, see, see, see. Marijuana is a coping tool.

God, God didn't didn't die for you to cope.

Now, let me ask you something, some of you smokers, even if

it's cigarettes, do you want to cope the rest of your life or do

you want to overcome? Make that choice right now.

Because boy, I'm telling you, living as a copper, you're not

living. You want to deal with the pain

properly once and for all, or you want to come into this year

with goals but not changing. It says there's health to my

nerves, man. Semi sinews because when my

nerves are regulated then my body actually aligns with the

health of my nerves. This is why the enemy will

attack your nervous system. And then it says that that leads

to strength and health in my marrow, my bones, and moistening

to your bones, bringing life. This is not a parable.

This is literally what the word does to someone that is consumed

by the word of God. It brings wholeness to your life

and you can say the word don't work because you ain't work the

word. The Word for some of you is just

this beautiful story about a man who gave his life.

But the word ain't working. And if I can cry out aloud, when

are you going to let the word work for your life?

Or are you about to raise children and grandchildren being

some stale dead Christian who hear about Jesus, But the life

of Jesus does not consume you? And I believe that's what God

wants. He wants a lively bride, a woke

bride. Not just people who know him

with knowledge or serve him with their lips, but their heart is

far from them. Like if I if you were sitting at

a bus stop or if you were shopping in the mall by

yourself, can I look at you from a distance and see a light?

Are you more turnt after you drink something or smoke

something or or are you more turned like where's the life of

Christ at? And for some people they hear

this man just yelling. There's no no, I'm not yelling

this past and this fire where's the life of Christ?

It should irritate any follower that folks is playing what they

walk. It should irritate you.

You you know how you can't stand a a backbiter or you can't stand

2 faced folk? Some of y'all got people in

types y'all can't stand. Oh keep them away from me.

I can't stand somebody that well listen, God can't stand somebody

who lukewarm the Bible say that you're fake Christian.

You're not the real deal. Oh, where did that good?

Because a part of the world is lost because you 2 faced it when

it come to God. And thank God you got pastors

that ain't afraid to keep it real.

Who not going to sit up here and just read the book of John to

you because if we going to read the gospel, we going to see that

this same tone is in the words. He's like, how long do I got to

be with you? How long do I got to keep

preaching to say, how long do I got to send pastor after pastor

after worship leader after how long?

Like, what do you want? I've sent my son, I've sent

pastors, I've sent churches, I've sent kids.

How long when I read the walk of Jesus Christ man, he was calling

John the Baptist. The way he's marked in the Bible

is this man just crying out repent.

That does not mean say. Sorry, it means turn.

Do you see what I'm saying about a live church?

Right. We used to sitting in churches

like, oh, that. Wow.

Gee, that Jesus. No, this is what the Christmas

holiday is about. The Bible says that a king came

in the world, right? Are you ready?

When the king came, Christmas is celebrating a new government,

right? He gave us a Kingdom on

Christmas. He gave us a a, a, a new

government, a new way of doing. He gave us a different route to

peace. This is this is the holiday

where the Prince of Peace came and we in this holiday just did

what he says honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency

from righteous laborers and with the first fruits of all your

income. He said you that was the part

around around health right after health, he says honor the Lord.

How with your capital can't get no clearer than that and your

sufficiency from righteous laborers.

So shall you ready. Your first fruits are all your

income, so shall your storage places.

Back then it was storage places. Today is the savings account.

Or a shoe box. Your storage places be filled

with plenty, plenty and your vats shall be over with new wine

with new wine. Not all want new wine, new

money. New resources, new

relationships. You ready for this new favor?

You know, next year for me, for me just to be yourself in new,

I'm walking in new favor. I'm not going to need from the

same people. God's going to bring me new

revenues, new relationships, new streams.

Come on. Overflow is on his mind.

Increase is on his mind. Expansion is on his mind.

Levelling up is on his mind. Acceleration is on its mind.

Influence is on his mind. Impact is on his mind.

Strategy is on his mind. Abundance is on his mind.

Come on, it's on his mind. It's on his mind.

Opulence is on his mind. It's on his mind.

It's on his mind. It is on his mind.

We'll close here. Joe 2.

Somebody shout out. It's on his mind.

Joe 2. Joe 2.

Joe 2. Fear not.

Earth, be glad in what celebrate.

God has done great things. Fear not wild animals.

The fields and meadows are greening up.

The trees are bearing fruit. Somebody shout out again.

See, he's talking. He's he's God is announcing

himself because there was this a season of drought, a season of

lack. There was a season where you

ready for this? There was a season where the

enemy was permitted to steal. You're like, God, get the enemy

out. He's like, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah

Nah, Nah, right. I don't like cats.

Some folks got cats purely to keep mice away.

How much of what you don't like is needed to keep what really

would take from you away? I want you to see this.

It's going it. It should bless you.

It should bless you. It says it says the fields and

the metals are greening up. That's why he said fear not

earth. Be glad.

Celebrate. Fear not wild animals.

This, this ain't just a provision for you, man.

Your your dogs need you to increase yo-yo, your pets need

you to increase. The trees are bearing fruit

again. Here it is a bumper crop, a

bumper crop of fig trees and vines.

Children of Zion, children of Love Quest International Church

celebrate. Look, look, this here you notice

he's given a word. He says it's coming and and it's

but it's here. A time is coming, but a time is

now. So he say don't celebrate when

it come celebrate. Now, OK, hold up.

You say be glad in your God He's giving you a teacher to train

you how to live right. Teaching like rain out of

heaven, showers of words to refresh and nourish your what

soul just as he used to do and and plenty of food for your

body. Silos full of grain, cask of

wine and barrels of olive oil. Somebody say increase, Look what

he uh oh, here, here, here he is again.

Here he here he is. I'll make up.

I'm making in this season. You coming to I'm about to make.

I know you experienced loss. I know your daddy wasn't with.

I know your Mama wasn't. I know your grandma.

I know your neighborhood. I know the country you grew up

in wasn't. I know all this stuff.

This this your childhood was taking from you.

You have to grow up too fast. Your household wasn't the

healthiest environment. I know, I know, but I'm about to

make. I'm about.

I'm about. I'm God says I'm taking

responsibility for the lack. You ready?

Since I gave the enemy permission to mess with you, I'm

going to give me permission to bless you, He say, he say look,

he says. He says I'll make up for the

years of the locust. That's why we don't need to be

in rush. That's why we don't need to be

frantic. The great locust, devastation,

locust, savage locust, deadly fear, locusts.

All the locusts. Locusts of doom.

You ready? And you got to get this part.

That great locust invasion I sent that wasn't the devil.

I gave you that family. I put you in that city.

I'll let you be in that family that didn't accept you.

I put you in that family that was going to betray you.

I put you in that family that was going to betray me.

I knew what your daddy was capable to do.

And I knew what your Mama was capable of doing.

I did that. But God is like, I'm not just

releasing Job. I'm not releasing you to the

hounds. I'm I'm the one that allowed

that abuse to happen. Could I had to stop it?

Yeah. But I'm working everything

together for my good, right? I'm not the one that abused you.

No one in heaven abused that was that was the devil.

But there's some things that I allow and some things I can't

control. Some things I won't control.

Could I? If I wanted to?

Absolutely. But I'm not a God who I'm not

God because I control everything.

A part of what make me God is because I don't have to control

everything. The part of what makes me God is

I'm going to let everything do what it do, but then I'm going

to make it work for me in the end, he says.

The locust. That I sent your way, he said.

You'll eat your fill of good food.

You'll be full of praises to your God, the God who has set

you back on your heels in wonder.

Like the season we bought to head into y'all, you ain't going

to be on. Tiptoe See tiptoe mean like you

going to be in a. Season where you got you going

to be taken back and you going to be like God.

Chill, this is too good. Right.

That's what wonder should do. Wonder shouldn't send you

wanting for more. Wonder should send you to a

place where you like God. No, like when he blessed Peter,

Peter fell on his face and said, God, I'm not, I'm not worthy.

We're about to step into a time where the goodness of God is

going to set you back on your heels.

Here it is. And he says, you're going to be

full of praise. There's going to be such

goodness. You cannot keep your praise back

here. It is this word.

Never again. This is what I need.

I just need a few people here to believe this, that where you

were. Never again will you be.

Come on, somebody say never again.

Like that stuff you used to struggle with.

I'm talking about where we're coming out of that and never

again this. Time when you this.

Time when the change come are released.

Never again. This time when depression or

anxiety is broken, Never again. Never again.

Come on. Never again.

This time when your family reconcile, never again.

This time when you put the bottle down, never again when

This time when you put the weed down, never again.

This time when you turn that porn site off, never again.

I'm not returning ever ever ever again to my old ways.

Never again will my people be despised.

You ready? Oh, this is my favorite part

right here. You'll know without a question.

Hey. Hey, PJ.

God is about to bring us in a season that erases all

questioning. Oh, you're not going to question

if he's for you. You're not going to question if

he's with you. You're not going to question if

he will do it. You're about to be God's, about

to do something that is going to erase your doubts without

question, he said. Without question, you'll know

without question that I'm in the thick of life with Israel, that

I'm your God. Yes.

Your God, the one and only real God.

Never again will my people be despised, or never again will my

people be put to shame. I'm can I?

Can I help? Man, I've said this.

Before. But God is taking the shame out

of your bloodline. Some let me this is OK.

Don't feel guilty for this. But some of you have had to say

sorry for your parents actions too many times.

Oh, I'm, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

My mom, my mom got him off. My, my, my dad's sorry when he

gets drunk he acts like this or sorry, my dad's a little racist.

My mom's a little. Some of you kids have had to

apologize and protect parents and protect family members and

friends. Man, feel that.

But release that because God is bringing a pride back to your

bloodline. And when I say pride, I'm not

talking about the one that opposes God.

I'm talking about a something to be proud about, not just because

I this is my family and I love my family.

No, no, no, no. God is going to bring blessing

in your family in a way that is going to bring God is restoring

dignity to your bloodline. Come on.

God, God is restoring dignity to your bloodline.

I, I just released what the word that he spoke over Abraham, God

is going to make your bloodline name great.

He said I will make your name great.

Abraham, God is restoring the greatness in your bloodline.

Come on, lift your hands right there.

Lift your hands right there. He's eradicating the shame.

That's why we sew in today because we have we're, we're

sewing for this year's victory, but we also sewing for next

year's victory. Now I can't, I can't, I can't

end today without going back to a word for you.

And that was bumper crop. Somebody say bumper crop.

Follow me. What is a bumper crop?

Remember, the bumper crop was a promise, he said.

That's the season we're born. A bumper crop is a crop that has

yielded an unusually productive harvest.

Here we here we, here we go. It is a bumper crop is something

unusually large like like like your bloodline haven't seen this

type of harvest. Am am I talking to anybody right

there There's there's a type of piece that your bloodline has

never seen. There's a type of healthy that

your bloodline has never seen. Come on, come on.

You're, you're, you're, you're going to also, the Lord wants me

to tell somebody in here that it is not just your biological

bloodline that will he's restoring dignity, but he's also

restoring dignity to your ethnic bloodline, right?

There's some blood there. There's some ethnicities that

there's shame that goes along with it.

There's some nationalities, there's some of you that are

ashamed of where you from. But, but let me tell you what

God's going to do for your part of Africa and for your part of

Asia. And like if you, if you're

Middle Eastern, if you are a Aboriginal person of descent,

listen, God is going to through your life, bring some something

to make a group of people proud about.

A bumper crop is an unusually productive harvest.

Something unusually, I don't know, but I'm telling you all

right now, Pastor T is going to lead next year.

Lead next year like he. Believing for something unusual.

So don't come around me with no normal stuff.

I I am really believing unusual shifts.

I'm not like I'm not just believing for you to be healed.

I'm believing for you to be made whole, right?

I'm not just, I'm just not believing that anxiety is broken

over your life. I'm believing you got danger.

A new mind. Like like a fresh mind.

I'm not just believing for you to overcome something, I'm

believing for you to walk in something that's new for your

life. New strength, new boldness, new

purpose. Right.

I'm not just believing for your business for you to start a

business. Yeah, you don't need that much

to business like faith to start. I'm believing for.

You to multiply your business, like franchise your business,

unusual stuff. OK, now ready.

Don't go there. Now.

I need everybody to hear this. I need everybody to hear this.

Somebody say bumper Croft. Bumper Croft.

A bumper crop can also be a source of problems because look,

such as when there is insufficient storage space, such

as God's going to do his part like he promised, but you did

not make room for it. That blessing is going to hit

you while you still holding on to that relationship, while you

still holding on to those habits, while you still holding

on to those thoughts, those insecurities and those fears.

A bumper crop is unusually large, but not just large.

EJA bumper crop is unusually productive.

So in a bumper crop. There is a seed within it that

can produce even larger or greater of its kind.

The problem with the bumper crop is it presents a danger for when

it shows up and it's not enough space to.

Live. We've been talking all year.

Laura's been trying to take stuff, not not take stuff.

Have you lay it down? Only reason is because he just

needs space for what's coming. And you've been bound because

you like, oh, this is too hard to let go.

You've been bound because you, you really think somehow you've

been sacrificing so much for the Lord.

Just because it's hard don't mean it's a sacrifice.

Just because it's a, it's a lot of work, don't mean it's a

sacrifice. This is how we want to end this

morning because we got to pray into this because you get this.

This is the side, elders. This is the side.

This is why people have a problem with the prosperity

message. It's nothing wrong with it.

It's incomplete. We only tell you believe for it,

so for it, and it's coming. But the fullness of prosperity

is what God has planned. He's like, no, I desire

prospering you, but just be aware to not let this take over

you because I've never prospered you to take my place.

But boy, the worst thing that could happen is that blessing

come your way and it shows up in there to not an insufficient

room. I mean, there's there's

insufficient space. What is it?

These last eight years, these last eight days, what is it that

you have to lay down? For some it's obvious.

You know, I got to put these cigarettes down.

I got to stop going out to the club.

I got like some stuff is obvious.

But then if you understand that all of your walk with Jesus,

there are going to be things you have to lay down, he says pick

up your cross daily. So don't think that in this

moment you're going to lay down stuff this year.

Let me tell you, five years from now, you're going to have to lay

something down. How do I?

Know that because he keeps giving you stuff to lay down.

Lord bless me with millions of dollars, OK?

And then there's going to be a time where he brings it.

And guess what? You're going to have to lay down

Remnant project. You're going to have to bless

somebody. You're going to put it on your

heart. That's what I'm saying.

So we got to get to a. Place where we're sacrificing

Isaac's, not Ishmael's. What does that mean?

It's one thing to sacrifice what the enemy and your flesh brought

in your life. It's another thing to lay down

what God bless you with, and that's where the believer who

has laid down a lot can get get caught up because you think

you've given up everything. But examine what he has blessed

you with. What is he saying?

Lay down out of that stash. Hallelujah.

You want to hear this, Elder John?

I could be crazy, but the Bible, because it's not mentioned,

gives me room to think this way. We look at David.

As the one who wasn't called to the party because his family

didn't like him or his family was abandoning him.

What what if Jesse knew the value of David?

So I'm willing to give away one of these seven, but David is a

Good Shepherd. So no, I don't got, I don't got

another one because because he got it, he had to understand his

value because God put the value in him.

See, we think whenever we're not discovered, we're being

abandoned or overlooked, not knowing that our lack of our

lack of being discovered speaks to our value.

That's why I can't be in a rush to be discovered because God has

put something in me that the wrong person or situation could

discover me. God said no, it's time to anoint

a king. If I was just coming for a

leader, I'd take one of these. But I'm coming for a king.

So don't take it personal or a shot when you're being

overlooked. God is allowing people to be

blind when they see you. You, you ready.

God asked for David because God the only one that was able to

see David for who he was. So don't, don't trip if others

ain't asking for you. When God called for you, can't

nobody stop you. Come on, lift your hands, lift

your hands. All that's about to come full

circle. God's been hiding you for such a

time. God's been allowing you to be

overlooked for such a time. All I need is 1 I I I just need

the right person to discover me. I I just need the right person

to hear Love Quest album. I I just need the right person

to walk in this garage and see the production.

All they take is 111 right person that like the woman that

all Jesus needed to do is encounter the woman at the well.

Come on Lord, don't just bring me the budget, bring me the

person. Come on, lift your hands and

press into that. Don't trip you actors and

actresses. You haven't been getting those

roles. Don't take it personal.

You've been practicing. You've been practicing.

Come on. There's Davidic on you.

God ain't just going to let anybody pay you.

God just not going to let anybody see you.

Yeah. Come on.

Pray. Press into that.

Press into that. Yeah.

This is my year. This is my this is my year.

This is my year. The right person coming.

The right budget is coming. The right resources is coming.

Yes, God's God is about to free some of y'all from working in

the secular market. Come on, come on.

It's coming. The time is here.

The time is now. Come on.

For the next two to three minutes, just press in.

What are you laying down? What are you laying down?

Laying it down, I'm laying it down.

This. Is for some someone know the

difference? How to put it this way, some

people only discover you because someone else saw you first.

Now David's anointed and discovered.

So all of a sudden now his brothers is like whoa, right?

God discovers or calls out Joseph.

Now his brothers is like whoa. Here's the trick for the

increase that's coming for some of you is that you're going to

get an abundance of attention, but it's only because someone

else saw you for who God sees you as.

You're going to have to discern who saw you because God opened

their eyes versus who saw you because someone else saw you.

That makes sense. It's like getting, you know,

signing that million, the millions of dollar contract as

an athlete or whatever. Now all of a sudden everybody

want a piece of you because they only saw you because the money,

but they didn't want to fool with you when you was in the

garage. Oh, when God does what he does

here, you, you're going to get a lot of that.

I want you to know Love Quest. I know about being hidden.

There's a lot of people who have come through Pastor Julie and

I's youth ministry right now that's out there doing some like

like they were like kids in our youth ministry and they're out

there doing like, I'm talking about beyond miles, like like

there's and sometimes I'm like God like, and none of them reach

back like you asked my wife, like here's how hidden I am.

God said go to Canada. Abraham get up and go.

David go. Jesus go.

When God is trying to hide you, he will move you for multiple

reasons, but one of them is what he's put on your life.

The people will never let it grow.

Oh, I know about hidden, but I will tell you God's never said,

son, your whole life's going to be hidden.

No, he said. It's just like almost God has

put I I could imagine I couldn't.

Well, his slingshot wasn't this way.

It was kind of but, but I can imagine we couldn't see the rock

until it was released and I just feel like in my life personally,

God's just hid me in this cloth and just kept me in attention

for years. You ready?

God has had me and my wife at attention.

You know what that attention is. We we've been like this for you

know how long to hold this posture foot.

And you start like like for me, prophetically speaking, EJI just

feel God's hand. If I'm the stone in his hand, I

feel his hand loosening up like I just.

Feel God getting ready to and sometimes it's right before the

release. It's that one like right, you've

been, you've been like this and it's that one last this.

I some of y'all know for the last year, 2-3 years, it's been

God like right? Come on, somebody, somebody,

somebody got God is getting ready to release God.

God's grip is loosening on that stone and he is about to release

you into some areas in the marketplace, in your family.

He's about to release sound. He's about to release music.

He's about to release finances. He's about to release favor.

He's about to release vision. He's about to release clarity.

Come on, shout out. Release it God.

One more time. Release it, God.

One more time. Release it God.

Yep, Yep, Yep. Praise him for it.

Yep. Praise him for it.

Yep. Praise him for it.

King tide. It's rising.

Come on, you don't have a grip on my life no more.

But the grip of God that has been keeping me.

The grip of God that has never forsaken me, The grip of God

that has comforted me, the grip of God that has been protecting

me. The grip of God that seemed like

he's been holding me back. Release.
