INCREASE: The Acceleration and Expansion of the Kingdom (9AM) - 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.

Good morning. Just so you guys know, victory

seed is not what we're starting to call our offering time.

Just for those that don't know, we this is a day that we have

marked to give a special sacrificial seed.

Why is it called victory seed? Because I don't know about you,

but God has brought a lot of victory in my life and we've

come to the end of this year. We've come to the end of this

year and he's brought us through a lot of stuff that we probably

didn't think we was going to make it, but but instead of

always making it about, he brought us through.

He brought us through. He's increased a lot of you.

He's increased some of y'all with babies.

How many people know children is increase, Right, man?

Yeah. See, they cost a lot in the

beginning, but they're going to be the ones that carry on the

family legacy. Amen.

So children are increased. He has filled your pantries, you

have friends, you have a church home.

How many people have more revelation about the Lord than

they had at the beginning of the year?

So God has done his part in increasing us and so today is

going to be a time of sacrificial giving man.

We have people giving starting last night at like midnight.

Like what I what I pray and hope is that we.

Can we? Can we?

Create a culture here that's excited about giving.

Exactly about 50% of people said, hey, man, and that's,

that's totally fine. That's but I want you guys to

know that that giving is a Kingdom thing.

All right, all right, let me let me just get into this word and

I'm going to share with you how you going to increase.

Amen. Father, we just thank you today

for the word. And can we turn the keys up a

little bit? Can't hear them.

Maybe it's the heater, but Lord, we just thank you for today's

word. We thank you for your love.

We thank you for the opportunity, opportunity to

give. Thank you, Father, that you have

given us. Although the world takes our

money and squander it every day, we invest in things that does

not have one return. But you have given us soil that

every time we partner with you, there is generational increase

involved. I'll say that again, I'll say

that again, I'll say that again, I'll say that again, I'll say

that again, I'll say that again. You have given us an economy in

the Kingdom, that every time we sow into your economy there is a

guarantee for a generational harvest.

But every day we sow into a world that do not have a harvest

for us. Our coffees, that's all we get.

Our groceries, our everything in the world.

A lot of it does not have a return.

So I thank you that you have given us good ground to sow

into. Thank you that you have given us

a remnant project to partner with.

And as we partner with you, we just say increase we receive it.

I thank you for the spirit of revelation in this room.

Thank you that your Spirit quickens us, that we close the

year strong. Lord, I just pray that there's a

willingness to leave some bags in 2024 and not take them into

2025. Some mindsets, some perception,

some insecurities, some fears. And so we thank you Father, as

you unload heaven within us today, may we be willing to off

ramp and offload some unnecessary weights.

And lastly, Father, I pray through your Holy Spirit that

you keep me from error. Holy Spirit, I yield to you that

if any error come up in me and you quicken me and I will be

humbled enough to correct myself.

But we thank you from 100% truth revelation, uncompromising word

of God in Jesus name, Amen. Somebody shout out increase.

So at the end, we're going to have an opportunity.

That's why you see these baskets here.

We are a given church. We'll always be a giving church.

We are a generous church and we'll always be a generous

church. Those that think that that that

that desire to be generous, just say I'm I'm a generous giver.

Now generate being a generous giver.

I want you to understand generosity is a ministry.

It's a biblical ministry. It's a anointing, OK.

And generosity goes beyond giving when you feel like it,

right? Generous people see a need and

they fulfill it. Am I talking, am I talking All

right, Increase. We started this increase message

a couple weeks ago, I believe it was.

As we close the year and the acceleration and expansion of

the Kingdom, I'll start by saying that God has increased on

his mind. Amen, Amen, Amen.

Hey, good ground. Is the is the coffee strong this

morning or everybody order a decaf?

Amen, Amen. All right, all right, increase

Now having been asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of

God will come, he replied the Kingdom of God is not coming

with signs to be observed or with a visible display.

OK, just give me some pads. It's kind of busy here.

Here are these men and women asking for the Kingdom of God to

come and when how it's going to come and it's going to be this

big show, this big display. And the same way they miss Jesus

because they thought he was going to come in riding in a

Cadillac with truths and vogues on it with gold chain, he a

king. And they thought he was going to

come in real fancy. So they couldn't believe this,

this, this, this savior's in a Manger.

They can't believe he riding in on this donkey.

They can't believe it because the king was packaged in

something that wasn't necessarily attractive.

He came in in an unattractive way and he left unattractive.

Right, so you're not going to always get from God like your

your blessing is not going to always come attractive.

Sometime you're going to have to go through some ugly seasons,

but within that ugliness is the blessing you've been praying

for, right? And so he's like, look man,

you're looking for the Kingdom of God, the government, the

dominion, the authority, the influence, the impact.

You're looking for it in this pretty package.

But let me tell you, it's not coming with signs to be observed

or with a visible display, nor will people be able to say, look

how blessed I am because you got a car, because you got a house,

because you got a diploma, because you got whatever you

think God blessing you is. That don't mean the Kingdom is

alive in your life. Do you want stuff or you want

the Kingdom? Do you want to influence people

because you got a lot of money or you want to influence people

because you got a Kingdom pouring out of you that is

irresistible. There's all kind of men.

The, the, the devil is influencing people right?

In this desperate world, it's not hard to influence people,

but he says, look, here it is or there it is for the Kingdom of

God. I need y'all to read this last

part with me. For the Kingdom of God is among

you because of my what presence. The Kingdom of God is among you

because of my what presence? Not PRESENT it.

I don't care how lavish your life is.

I don't care what you drive. It does not say God's with you.

It does not say well done, thy good and faithful servant.

You got to go into this next year and stop being satisfied

with being religious when you don't even like religious

people. How are you religious?

You're a Christian, you come to church, but you don't follow

Jesus. Do you know you can be a

Christian without following Jesus?

See, when people follow Jesus, you don't have to beg them to

follow vision. You don't have to call and ask

where they at. Because when you follow Jesus,

you follow his word. You don't have to beg for

offering. When you follow Jesus, you ask

Jesus, where do you need me to give?

Some of you like I ain't heard from God about where to give.

Yeah, you have. Hello.

Elder John just spoke. Is he God?

No, he God's vessel. Because I guarantee you,

somebody walk up to you and hand you $1,000,000.

You ain't going to be like I ain't this, this ain't from God.

You going to say look at God? He says his Kingdom, guys, His

Kingdom, His Kingdom is here because of his presence.

The TPT says the Kingdom is not discovered in one place or

another where God's Kingdom realm is already expanding

within. Here it is some of you.

Where is it? Expanding.

You see how we didn't put the Kingdom into material thing, He

said. The Kingdom of God, the the

government of God, the presence of God is within you and it's

expanding, OK. This, this, this word expanding

speaks to impact and influence. So increase is on God's mind

because impact is on his mind. He wants his church to be

relevant. Without that word, relevant is a

tension point in the church because religious minds here,

when you say relevant, they hear compromise.

He don't mind like it now it's not just about material stuff,

but he don't mind if you wear Air Force ones.

Like I grew up with three piece suitsmens with Stacy Adams on,

but the toes was hurting by the end of the day.

Like man, wear some tennis shoes.

Listen, you even see basketball coaches now where the whole team

wears Nikes and they'll wear a suit.

You think they any less of a coach and it's any less of an

NBA. So with our religious selves,

you, you're not anymore Christian, you're not anymore

Muslim, you're not anymore Hindu.

You're not anymore saved because you wear a dress.

You're not anymore saved because you don't wear makeup.

You're not anymore saved because yo dress cover your ankles.

Who cares? That long dress, there's a demon

under there. So we want to stay inside our

little walls and do our little services and some of us need to

be in longer services because it take that long for Jesus to get

on you. Jesus can't go and get on some

of y'all in 90 minutes because for 90 minutes you critique and

the worship said you're trying to figure out who PT is, What

are you wearing? You trying to so it take three

hours for some of y'all to even get touched by Jesus a little

bit. Why is it important to be in his

presence? Because when he gets on you, you

take His Kingdom out there wherever you go.

So when you at Christmas dinner, you're not overwhelmed by your

crazy auntie. You ready for this?

Your crazy auntie is overwhelmed by the Kingdom that's coming out

of your mouth. Some of y'all about to have some

tough Christmas dinners and every year you do and you walk

into that house with so much tension because of that drunk

uncle or that drunk father or that but you.

But it's just like the Lord's like no, but like you're

pregnant with me like Mary was. And so when you walk in the

drunk house, something changes. But if you don't know who you

are, you going to walk and be in there and be overcome and

overshadowed by whatever dominating spirit is in that

room. Here's the power of your

presents. Somebody talking to you crazy.

On Christmas dinner. You like, don't talk to me or I

got to go. Don't talk to me like that or I

got to go. Now, if they really want you

around, they're going to say OK, OK, OK, My bad.

See, you don't even know the power of your presents.

They're like, no, no, no, no. I'll change how I talk when you

come around. Yeah.

Patty cake. Amen.

Slap, slap. Slappy, slappy, slappy.

Amen. Amen.

Look, I grew up in a very noisy church, and I come to Canada.

I'm like, I can hear everything I like.

I'm like, Amen. You can hear the bathroom flush

outside. I'm like, yeah, all right, Lord,

Amen. But I counted the cost.

Amen. Not this one, but Amen.

Amen. The Kingdom of God, just so we

understand the Kingdom of God is a thing.

The Kingdom of God points to the ruling activity of God over

God's people and over the world. God has made another way of

saying the Kingdom of God is saying the reign of God, the the

rule of God. So you see the Kingdom of God,

he says. Jesus tells him.

He says if you see a demon come out, if you see deliverance.

Then you know the Kingdom. If the Holy Spirit cast out a

devil, then you know that the Kingdom of God has come.

In other words, if you see a demon flee, it's only because of

God's presence, not you. So if you see a demon flee, it

is a sign and wonder that the Kingdom has landed.

How do I know the Kingdom has landed in this house?

Because some of y'all crazy folks have gotten a little less

crazy. How many people can say I'm,

I'm, I'm a little better since I've been here?

I'm a little better. That is a sign the Kingdom of

God is here. That is a sign the Kingdom of

God is here. Look at your neighbors, say you

have gotten a little bit better, but keep going.

Increase somebody say increase, increase.

The Kingdom of God is kingship, sovereignty, authority.

It's rule, especially the rule of God.

Both in the world, both in the world.

The the the impact the influence of God.

The way God has influence in the earth is through His church.

So stop saying God changed my city if you don't want to be a

partner. Stop saying God changed my

family if you don't want to be the model home.

See, here's how people. Understand the value of what you

believe in. You ready the value of what you

believe in. Somebody say that with me.

The value of what you believe in.

Here's how I know the value of what you believe in by the price

you're willing to pay. You can't tell me that following

Jesus is important when you got to be begged to come to church.

So when your families see that you treat Jesus the same way you

treat vacation time, then they see that church is really

important, that important to you.

Because of what you're willing to give up to be with them, or

what you're willing to give up to have fun or what you're

willing. You get what I'm saying?

So you can't expect family to to and friends to follow Jesus.

That's why witnessing to people sometime is hard because your

life and walk with God ain't convincing.

They're not going to come because you, because you keep

asking. Hallelujah.

Both. Both both in the world and in

the hearts of men. In the hearts of men is his

government ruling your heart? Is his ways ruling your heart?

If he's ruling your heart within it's government, that same

authority then comes out right? It says Kingdom in the concrete

sense. The Kingdom of God is where God

is present, a present reality and is intended to grow.

You see this the Kingdom can't be present and not expand where

it is. So this is the hard part about.

This is why you can have a church with 10,000 people.

But but nine but but 9000 don't know how to witness, 9000 don't

win souls, and 9000 ain't making no disciples because the Kingdom

is not there expanding. Guess what's there?

The Bible's there because the Bible's there.

And because you're talking about the king doesn't mean his

Kingdom is reigning. Am I?

This is why you can't put a finger and be like be like 90

minutes? No, because the Kingdom rules

this house. So at any time the kingdom's

like, let's go this way. Guess where we going to go this

way? I'm not fighting against the

Kingdom. So when you're wondering and

understanding why certain cultures are in certain

churches, look, the Kingdom ain't ruling when you can

guarantee. That church going to start this

time, you're going to stay. Now some of you are going to be

like, but no, that's like excellence.

It's like order. OK, let's go higher.

Perfect order is following the perfect one.

Totally get excellence. I totally get order and all

that. OK, But if you're so you have so

much order that God cannot interrupt.

Have you ever been to that church where worship was really

good, like you were ready and then it was like go meet your

neighbor and have some coffee. We will continue in 15 minutes

or worship is so good like you're getting there, you're

finally getting warmed up and all of that and then you go and

then every time song over and if somebody comes in that don't

match what God's doing. Hi, how are you?

No, like no, no announcements can steal the word.

This is why sometimes you see announcements, sometimes you

don't, sometimes you see compel. We make that decision back.

There I'm like, yeah, no compelled, yeah, no

announcements. Don't like announcements, but

you got to give today's church announcements because they not

going to pay attention and even when you give them

announcements, they don't pay attention.

This is the Kingdom of God is where God is present.

You ready? And his reality is present.

He's not there just for goosebumps.

He's not there just for, Oh no. His reality is present and he's

speaking and it's intended. To grow us.

Kingdom of God is the realm where Jesus governs between

heaven and earth, his ways, his truths, his life.

The Kingdom of God is a volcanic not just you know, made-up this

definition just off of accumulation of understanding

other definitions. And then I just write if Paul

can write a letter, I can too. Is that correct?

Like Mark was the Mark Elijah. All these people can write,

write and. I can't tell.

Same Holy Spirit. Now, I'm not writing the Bible,

but I am. You get what I'm?

Saying so 2nd Terrance verse Kingdom of God, a volcanic

activity meant to mature. Like when I think of a volcanic

activity, there's this bubbling you cannot see, but you do feel

the heat you and it's ready to go off at any time.

Influence. It is meant to mature.

It is meant to influence and it's meant to expand, creating

Kingdom movement, right? The church.

The sent Ness of the church has to be restored and the church

was the church. Should be.

And is a movement. It is the greatest movement on

planet Earth. But our movement has stopped,

right? There's fashion movements and

they just take off, right? Like, why am I wearing these

wide leg pants? Why, why I'm wearing these

flares, Emerson? Why?

Why are why am I wearing these Air Force ones?

Huh. My wife the other day she was

like, I hope I hope flare pants don't go out of style like we it

was skinny jeans at first, but I'm like skinny jeans is always

in. But all these styles is nothing

new like this generation think they doing something new.

No bell bottoms flare pants always been in OK always.

It's just recycling itself. OK, but it's a movement and

whatever the fashion world tells you is in, you take it as in.

But when God is saying I'm doing something, it's like give me 3

signs with the stripe in the middle, right, pink light green

in the middle right? Like it's like Lord give me.

It's that Gideon moment in the production.

And then God is so gracious he'll do it.

You like just give me one more so I can make sure that's you.

We crazy man, we make this a little more difficult than it

should be, and we are the most powerful agent on planet Earth.

Increase means to grow. It means to increase to enlarge.

It refers to the growth of that which is alive.

You can't grow if you did, so you ready?

You got to get in the game to grow.

You got to practice. OK naturally or spiritually

increase means greatness. It's something unusually large

in size and dimension. Somebody say unusually unusually

large it increase it is abundance it's.

More than you are prepared for. It's bigness, vastness,

hugeness. When God says He will make you

great, expect something enormous.

Enormous, like the Savior of the world, started off in a Manger

in a motel. 6 The Savior of the world.

They don't have those out here, but that's OK, John. 7 He who

believes in me, who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on me,

as Scripture has said, as the what has said, Scripture has

said, from his innermost being shall flow continuously.

What does continuously mean? It means all the time,

continuously, non-stop, there shall be a what flow.

Now I understand that if I just drink water and it don't flow

nowhere, what's going to happen can talk, right?

Right. So so when I drink some of this

water. If I keep drinking it, at some

point, guess what's going to happen?

I'm going to have to what? Go to the washroom.

OK, I'm going to have to go to the washroom because it has to

exit, understand? But I have a demand on my body.

I need to keep drinking water, which means I am I am made to

consume for the sole purpose of releasing.

Can I talk to this side? Right.

So, so the, the, the, the fact that if you stop peeing, that

means something's wrong. So if you always come to church

and don't release it nowhere, you're not healthy.

Something ain't working in there, you understand?

So therefore something that's meant to nourish me, it becomes

harmful. How can the word not worked be

harmful? Because I begin to not believe

the word if I never see the word that was given to me to get

through me to produce fruit. So not taking that leap of faith

hinders your faith from growing. Peter had more faith after he

sank. His faith didn't grow because he

his faith didn't decrease because he sank.

His faith grew because he gave God an opportunity to show up.

I'm talking to a room full of safety, safety guards, right

that are you just living in safety zone all the time?

Increase don't come unless you drink and you release and you

continue to drink over and over and over and over and over.

It says springs and rivers of living water.

Now you got to understand for 333 chapters prior to this, you

this the woman at the well and that was he said this well

represents eternal life. You ready?

All right, can y'all y'all ready?

The well represented eternal life where she will never be

thirsty again. It represented her getting life.

It represented her getting like the whale was for her.

This is for people around you. That's a spring.

It is rivers of living water. This is what's supposed to come

out of you due to who's in you. But we got a lot of whale

Saints. You just sit at the well every

day and get your bucket. The world's not going to get

changed off a bucket That well was for her.

He was talking about salvation 3 chapters later.

This is why he then goes and says if you can go to verse, can

you put up verse 3939 real quick?

I don't have that one down, but I want to show you guys verse

39. When we understand increases,

now you can talk about money as well.

God blesses you. He brings income.

Now when the world asks for that outcome, you pay up.

He brings income not merely to stay at your house, but if it's

going to be a household where income keeps coming, then you

have to be faithful by releasing it back to who the income came

from. So.

So which script? Which one is?

This being shall flow continuously.

Springs and rivers of living water.

Yes, go there. But he was speaking here because

him saying he was speaking here meant somewhere else.

He was speaking there. So there he was talking out in

John Four. He was talking about a well, he

was talking about salvation. He's speaking here of the of the

Holy Spirit who is a gift to the believer, not the world.

Jesus is a gift to the world. Now once I come out of world, I

need the gift of the Holy Ghost. It's another topic whom those

who believe. There it is.

In him were afterwards. The Holy Spirit was to come

afterwards. To receive for the holy.

Spirit had not yet been given because.

Jesus. Was not yet glorified.

Oh, there's a lot of responsibility on the New

Testament church because you got something they didn't.

When the righteous are in authority and become great.

I told you last week, you can't impact the world.

Broke the church can't beat. See, See, see, you'd be like,

well, missionaries broke. Listen, no, no, no, no, no,

listen, listen what I'm saying, somebody that's supporting

missionaries ain't broke. See, missionary got all they

needs met and they have a grace to live off of just what they

need. OK, that that's a grace that's

on their lives. But to fall into this trap, to

think that God is OK with you not being able to be a giver is

not the gospel. So so so so.

When you understand this, you should desire to have more than

enough so you can be generous. You should not be thriving and

working overtime, so you only have enough for you and your

dreams. Here it is.

This is what the Bible says the Bible says the Bible says the

Bible. When the righteous are in

authority and become great, what does become great mean very

influential. You ready?

Here's the word essential. This is why we the world told us

we wasn't essential during COVID.

That should have bothered some folks.

So you know my. Response to that was not to go

on strike or not to bombard the government.

My response was to make disciples.

OK, you ready? You ready?

What was Jesus response to the government of the world at the

time? Talk to me.

He was what? Huh.

So his Kingdom can what come? Because his Kingdom is a what

government? So why am I trying to help a

government that ain't going that that's a that's prophesied to

fail? I'm in the world, I'm not of it,

so close my doors. You can't stop the Kingdom, he

says. See, this is what I'm saying.

We make disciples and we build our businesses and things of

that nature. So we become essential or become

great, it says, because the righteous are in authority and

become great. The people rejoice.

How did people, how did Jesus bring some people to Jesus?

He fed them. Now this is crazy part.

That's one of the only ministries we pride ourselves in

in, in like, like I remember being in Strathcona and they

were like almost dumbfounded that I was like, our church

isn't called to feed the homeless that way.

Like that's, that's like our main thing.

No, we're we're going to go partner with people.

But but there, you know, it's more than homeless people and

mentally ill people that need resources, right?

If you want to take over a city, you can't just help homeless

people, right? Some people that's like sounds

so harsh. No, it doesn't.

They need food. But guess what?

There's do you know how much money is pumped in?

There's enough soup kitchens in East, say in, in over in East

Hastings in that area, they pump in $1,000,000 a day in

resources. You think the city is the way it

is because it's a lack of sandwiches now what happens if

the church got a bunch of money? With the vision of the Kingdom,

we're not just giving people sandwiches and needles no more.

We're now we actually have resources that will compel them

to be cleaned up. And then we give the world back

better citizens. Are y'all hearing what I'm

saying? So This is why, This is why God

wants you to to to increase and your businesses to thrive.

He wants you to be good employees and be faithful over

that minimum wage because your your increase doesn't come from

your diploma or your boss. It comes from God.

So going there with a Kingdom attitude, all right.

All right, all right, it says. But when the wicked man rules,

or woman, or people, the people groan inside.

And you can't tell me the world ain't grumpy.

Why is the world grumpy? Because the wicked are in

charge. You, you here.

Here's here's what it says, Noel.

Here's what it says he says. Instead of you trying to make a

wicked government righteous, get the righteous in authority and

and and and my church become great.

So when the world, when the government lets the world down,

my government lifts the world up all.

Right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all

right, all right. For for we are God's own

handiwork, his workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus born a

new that we may do those good works, say good works.

Those good works? Which God?

What predestined? God predestined what good works?

It says he planned beforehand. So you mean God had a plan for

you before you had a? Planner, a book planner, you

mean God had a plan for you before you bought that that book

on trying to find purpose You, you mean God had a plan for you

before you tried to find a Boo to bring you to bring a plan to

you. So who had a plan before anybody

knew you? Says taking paths which he

prepared ahead of time. So they mean the plan that he

prepared ahead of time. I don't think he just like

shovelled a pave way. I think he paved the path.

He created a plan. He designed us for that plan.

And he also laid that paid that plan with provision.

So I need to find the path of God for my life and trust that

everything that I need is on that.

Why? Because he said he prepared it

right? When when Mama say dinner ready

it mean Mama and daddy prepared dinner.

So when you when when it's dinner time, you're not

searching for napkins or silverware or like when it says

dinner time, that means everything's been prepared.

Food's been taken from the pot and put in those beautiful

dishes and it's ready to be what served.

See. And we can't serve because we

too busy Prepare like preparing our own path.

I want you to see this he says that we should walk in them.

What's them? What's them?

The prepared plans, living the what good life.

So following Jesus should be a What good life?

Like like a what good life? A good a good life.

Whenever I read the word, I'm like, God has this good life

plan for us. And when he planned his good

life, he knew the world was going to be crazy.

He didn't plan good life for a good world.

He planned good life so so we can be in front of the this this

fallen world and they look at our what good life and be like.

I want that. That's what I've been.

Looking for here it is he prearranged and made ready for

us to live like like Whole Foods has some really good prearranged

food, right? So prearranged food is meant for

you to do what? Of course eat y'all just some

eating folks. No, not just eat how different

right is, is it all all you need to do is heat it up right?

It's prearranged. Have you ever bought some like

like prearranged chicken and then went marinated it?

No, no, no, it's cooked. It's it's prepared.

Look at they, they, they. They they check in.

It's like do we do we do we marinate prearranged food.

OK, No, no, no for 10 Bob. No, no, you don't know.

It's it's meant to this is look, this is when you don't have

time. It's when you don't feel like

laboring. It's when you want to have an

easy night, kick your feet up and.

So you get the prearranged food and some of depending on if you

get it from the hot like the the already made hot and you just

get it and put it in a box or you get prearranged that's cold

and you got to go heat it up. Point is though is the

prearranged minimizes labor. Right.

It's almost like we're addicted to labor.

And then you now you don't have time to do nothing for God

because you're laboring when he's like what I design is so

you don't have to put me off because I made you to worship

me. So my plan is not going to cause

you to walk away from me and be away from my church and be away

from my ways. All right, let me give it to you

this way. And God is able to make all

somebody say all, all grace, every favor and earthly what?

Oh, he got earthly. Blessings on his mind.

Come to what you I love this word, I love these 3 words.

I love this word. I love this, I love this I love

this. That's why I highlighted it. 2-3

words. Come to you, but it is say and

God is able to bless you and anoint you to chase the

blessing, lose sleep over the blessing.

No, it says he, he said it can come to me in abundance.

Hey, this side clap louder than this side this side.

No, it's good. It's too late.

Till next time, I'm going to give you something else.

To clap about, OK. Go ahead.

That clap off in church. Amen.

OK, look, look, look, look. God is shouted out.

Abel. This is freedom.

It's on him. Our part is to do the principle

because he's already given increase to you.

But we need the keys to the Kingdom.

Work them so you don't lose family over working the pre

arranged plan. So don't.

Don't you get that pre cooked food so you can have some

quality time, right? Most of the time you get the pre

arranged food to buy you what time and what rest.

Come on. Come on.

God is able to make. I love it to make and when God

say he can make it happen, it's different than our make.

You have somebody like I'm going to make it happen for you and

then you call them and they like, yeah, I couldn't even get

the tickets for you. My bad, my bad.

No, when God say he going to make it happen, guess what he

going to do make it happen. Somebody say God make it happen

then and he said, well, you do your part.

Amen. You see how quick we.

Make God make it happen. He like do your part.

He like. Give me a sign, give me a sign

and he's like you give me a sign that you want it.

You know you know the sign to knowing what you know you know

the sign to God that you want it bad is obedience.

Can can you give God 2 pink stripes with a green one in the

middle? Huh.

Get in. We're giddy in that there he is

on the camera. Amen.

And God is able to make all grace and every here it is every

favor and earthly blessing. Come on, come on.

Stop talking about Gideon. Come to you.

Come to you in what? See, God got abundance on his

mind so that so that. Here's here's why God wants to

enormous size your life so that that's is that is that something

Is that something you get out there your boy's smart under the

goalie ghost Amen in Jesus name so that so that you may always

oh man. This is so good to me.

Always under all circumstance. What does always mean?

What does all circumstance mean? And whatever, what does whatever

mean? Whatever they need, they hey, we

need, we need, we need to raise 340 grand.

Right, it it it's like it's like so when it's victory seed, it's

like let's go. When it's a remnant project,

it's let's go. When it's the church buying a

piece of property, let's go. It's whatever, because I'm

living in this abundant life that God made happen and he's

bringing. If you're in here and you have

abundance, like some of y'all think y'all savings is just for

your little piece of property you trying to buy.

And God's like, yes, the savings is for the property, but some of

it is seed for the property. Listen, listen, listen.

I'm trying to help you with some stuff you you can only sow for

because it's divine blessing. You got to hear me So so so so.

On this he says I'm able to do this.

I'm able to bring abundance so that whatever the if you are

financially blessed right now and you say God has blessed me.

Then that mean he's not just blessed you, you ready, he's

also entrusting you that ready when you are God's bank account

so. When he needs to make a

withdraw, can he? What would you do when you go to

the bank and your bank was like, yeah, I know that's your money,

but not today. Right, You got $20 million in

the bank. You just show up to get, you

know, and I know to get a lot, it takes a longer time to get

all that, but you need, you know, 300 grand and they like

today we can only give you 50. You like, wait a minute, this is

my. Money.

And This is why some folks shoebox, they money and they

don't trust no banks, right? Where I'm from folks don't trust

the banks. So you might use shoebox and all

kind of stuff. So I can withdraw whenever I

want to withdraw. Right.

That's why people keep that safe at home because when they need

money right now, they need money when right now, right.

So, so you're, you're God's bank.

He deposits blessings in your life, but can he withdraw?

Here it is. He was he, he, he deposits time,

he deposits strength, he deposits peace.

Can he withdraw? That's his peace.

He told you that my peace not as the world gives, my money not as

the world gives, my time not as the world gives, my courage not

as the world gives. He's blessing us and will

increase us so He can do whatever through us.

The need be here. It is self-sufficient.

Here it is possessing enough to require no aid.

Oh, this, I don't know about you, but I want to get here.

I want to get here within the next three years.

I want to get here in the next three years.

And I know it's some changes. I got to make some changes.

I got to make to do my part because when I say that guy's

like you, right? I did.

I'm going, I'm going to make it happen and I'm already making it

happen. So there's there's areas where I

must decrease so he can what, increase enough to require no

aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work.

What does every good work mean? Every good work.

So there's nothing that he is going to ask you to do that

you're going to need help for now.

Now here's how I here's how I understand wealth as well.

People aren't just wealthy because all of what they got.

People are also wealthy because of who they with.

So I might not have it, but I got a friend that got it right,

right. So if you broke, you probably

should not hang around other what broke vote.

Just like the blind can't lead the blind, the broke can't lead

the broke, right? You can't be so insecure you

gather friends where you are. You got to be willing to get

uncomfortable to be around people that's.

A little further ahead of you. Right abundance for every what

good work and charitable donation that's what you're

going to have an opportunity opportunity to do in a little

bit charitable donation here it is and and we think we like.

Really give it. But when we give, we like, hey,

whatever we see that what what's going to happen?

Let me ask you this, will you be a giver if the government takes

away our charitable rights? I know some of y'all will.

Here here's here's why it's important right now.

Like the seven years that he said that increase was coming

because seven years of famine was coming.

Let me tell you, it's already in discussion.

We could very because if they come and ask us to do certain

things in order to keep it that go against the word, we're going

to say no. So then the church has to

become, the church has to prepare to be a for profit

entity. This is why we need to start our

businesses. This is why they're going

prosper. This is why we need strategy.

This is why we need people that have financial intelligence so

we know how to move money. Hey guess what I don't know how

to move money. Like some people know how to

move money but I got friends that know how to move money.

Are you really a giver if you can't write it off?

The God's economy doesn't need receipts.

His increase is not based on a charitable receipt.

You get what I'm saying? OK.

And God who provides seed, this is so good.

And God who provides seed for the sower.

So when people like I don't got no seed, OK, flip it and reverse

it. You must not be a sower.

OK, let me, let me just read the scripture again.

This is what the Lord said. Don't get mad at me, OK.

And God who provides seed to the sower, here it is, here it is.

If all this stopped working, it don't matter how much water I

drink. It's backed up.

If God can't get it through you then then then you can forget

about him. Keep on supplying.

You just going to have to labor. So you might have money, but

it's nowhere near. You might have resources, but

it's nowhere near. What if God can get things

through you and you learn how to sew?

It's nowhere near the reef. And here's what you got to

understand how God gives. It's not just money you need,

you need resources, you need relationships, you need people.

So when you go to work, they're not responsible to give you

relationships and resources. They're responsible to give you

money for your labor. But when you sow into the

Kingdom of God, it's stuff like somebody, hey, you need a you

need a vacation home. You know what?

No one's at my vacation home. You and your family go up there

for two weeks. No cost.

Just wash the sheets and the dinner.

Right? Relationships.

Relationships. That's that's harvest.

God brings you stuff you don't have money to pay for.

Look me leave me and my wife, me and my wife Malachi.

We we didn't man, we didn't, we didn't we Sometimes folks be

like man, they so blessed they must go.

This is why sometimes we don't we came not, we may not wear

certain things or say. Because the people going to be

like where PT get all that money from, but you don't even know.

I remember if somebody was getting on me about our car and

stuff, but you don't know that somebody blessed us with that.

You don't know who bought that jacket for my wife you like we

in the garage and they got. All it you don't know, but what

you do see is we sew. Oh, they in.

It's a lie how they go. They hear the land, we in the

Remnant. I know how some people think

it's sometimes we didn't even want to take video because we

like they're going to be thinking we balling because we

on this boat, we can't even share with you the blessing

because you think you know. No, you didn't know first of all

how cheap the boat was. And you don't know who God has

put in our lives to to to bless us and who value us and who

appreciate who we've been in their lives.

You don't know how we got there. I can tell you this.

We we all couldn't have got there.

I'm just cannot be transparent right, like right, the story

match the the garage right now. OK, you understand what I'm

saying right? It won't always be that way

because we going to be able to. Flip it and reverse it.

But what I'm saying is I'm being transparent with you.

Is that the the the good life? That seems like sometime I don't

even want to take pictures. And when I'm when I'm cold

plunging because folks be like, oh, they how are we in the

garage and they house all that big and they got a pool.

Pastors can't have pools, first of all, but you don't know how

that's working. What am I pointing to?

I'm like, we sow so all the stuff that we desire, the space

we need, the provision we need. When you can sow that $10.00,

but then that trip or that, that, that, that thing that that

you like. I can't go to church because I

got to go work for this. No you got to sow for that and

then the thing about a seed you got to be willing to wait for

the harvest though some of y'all going to go labor because you

can get an extra thigh wow next week.

But when you sow, your seed will preserve your peace, and God who

provides seed for the sower and bread for eating, will also

provide and multiply your resources for what sowing.

So some of y'all want to be blessed.

So all of us for you and some of y'all really got a key to the

Kingdom. He's like, I want to bring

abundance that not only brings through your needs and desires,

but can I trust you to be a blessing to others?

He says for sowing and increase the fruits of your

righteousness. Which manifests itself in active

goodness, kindness and charity. I, I, I don't want to over

overthrow that because it's not just resources, but he said I'm

also increasing the fruits of your righteousness.

I'm, I'm increasing your anointing and capacity to keep

giving service for me. So this isn't just about

increasing so you can give money.

It's also increasing so you can give your life.

So that's that's an increase in his strength and his courage.

That's an increase in his wisdom.

Am I talking that's that's that's not just increase in

money. So you go to work, your job may

not give you no wisdom. Your job stole peace from you.

But when you give in to. God I can rest because in when I

trust in his seed, guess what he says He will make it happen.

He says seek me first and all these things in my Kingdom and

all these things will be added to you.

We're can I help you Christians some of y'all working too hard

that sound crazy in this world because you can't you can't not

find a video that get up get up 5:00 AM club get up If you don't

wake up you you going to lose out.

You ain't ain't no sleep. I don't sleep over here.

Up all night in the hand. What?

You don't make a song about up all night.

That's unhealthy. Who's sleeping right now?

I got up before everybody. And how did you spend those

hours? Is what matters.

How's your family? How's your?

Sanity. And when I say some of you are

working too hard, you're working in a way that does not witness

to God's grace on your life. You're, you're, you're over.

It doesn't. We all got to work hard.

But but I don't need to kill myself.

I don't need to stress out for a dollar.

I need his presence. I need to take that.

Why aren't you laboring that? Hard to start prayer in your

family. Why aren't you laboring that

hard to get in his presence? Why aren't you laboring that

hard to make your marriage successful?

Right. What what we're laboring thing

and and and we're wondering why you're not burnt out because the

church had a long service. You're not burnt out because we

had a production that you're not.

That's not what all this other stuff you can't.

Serve God and labor for Mammon. You can't think you about to

give the world 60 hours a week and then you roll up in church

and can't even help the church because you just sitting in here

can't receive. You just tied and then you

making us work to try and get you ready.

We're not understanding that the electricity comes from you.

Too, But by the time we roll up in church that crazy week, well,

I had a pretty long week too. But within that there's woven

presence time. There's there's talking to the

Lord. So as we give today, man, what a

privilege. He gives seed to the sower,

which means you always, as a sower will have something to

what? So I'm not an alcoholic because

I had a drink. I'm an alcoholic because I can't

stop drinking. Therefore I'm not a giver

because I gave once. I'm a giver because I can't stop

giving. Come on, give God some praise

one time. Hallelujah.

You came up here with your bag, huh?

Boy, man. Hallelujah.

Got that velvet on with the Kang shoes.

I see you crying. Smelling good.

Amen. Are you Amen.

All right, All right. He like, OK, PT, like, chill

out, brother. You're making me feel

uncomfortable right now. Can I have that envelope,

please? Can I get an envelope?

Thank you. Thank you.

Can you put up the remnant project please?

We have one more Sunday in 2024 and we have one more evening

experience in 2024 that will be tonight in Vancouver.

Come and celebrate with us. And there is a harvest in

Vancouver. So Vancouver will continue in

the new year because there is a demand for it.

Amen man. There's people come in.

There was there was a lot of influence in these productions

last week. And for those that don't know

the last night we have 440 that was.

So every night it increase by at least 40% and by the last show

we had, I think it's 430. Where my phone, I want to be

accurate. I don't want to fluff no

numbers, man. We have someone of very, very

high. You ready?

We have someone in here of very, very high influence in the

marketplace and in government came to 2R shows back-to-back

because they brought somebody. First time they came with a

family, then the second time they came with the worship

pastor from 10th I think it was. I think it was yeah.

Yeah. And that next day I was

forwarded e-mail that that person, male or female, some of

y'all be. They sent this long e-mail to

some other influential people and was like, I don't know, but

I think we need to this. Love quest is this and love

quest is that, and love quest is this and love quest is that and

love quest is this and love quest is that.

And I think we need to somehow figure out a way to partner and

do something in the city because they have vision to to take the

production in the city. Hey, man, go somebody, somebody

say bring us the budget and, and what's crazy about it, man?

God's given us the coolest story around like that production can.

Y'all I did is almost comical. We in here in like formal attire

for real in a garage. Come on y'all look at our sound

panels. Come on y'all don't really

people come on, look at our sound panels.

Come on, look at our dividers right there.

Look behind Noel. Look at the garage y'all.

Like like you understand what I'm saying where the presence of

God is it like you don't like folks were circling folks were

circling a place that folk, this is a place that you are told you

don't come to folks trying to fight folks is parked around the

corner. I'm talking about like people

that wouldn't normally. Come to the hood.

It's just like. Oh my God.

Hey, hey, you go anywhere where the Lord is.

Hallelujah. Folks risk their life to come to

that production. Oh my God.

Oh my God. All right, so the first night we

had 194 that registered. I think the night it was, we

were always off by like 10 or so people from registration 9:50 to

20 or something like that. But we also was up that number

because some people didn't register.

Mind you, none of these numbers reflect people that served.

OK, so 194 and you had the next one, December 8th, 240.

And then December 14th we had 372.

Yeah. And then December 15th we had

440. So over, over, over, over, over

4 evenings, we had 12146 people that registered.

OK. Like those are numbers we need

when we go to investors and we're talking about going into

the Orpheum or to Queen Elizabeth's where it's like, you

know, 2500 people, right? We're, we're half, we're a

little over halfway there. And where our church is going to

be next year with growth and all that, like we for sure can, can

do that. So we're going to have a problem

next year. Next year I got to slow myself

down. I heard you, Deb.

I heard you. Next year we got to do our we

got to do our production, our first like next door.

Like we got to have our production next.

So next year is going to be next door.

So thank God that Queen Elizabeth was booked for next

year because he because yeah, but it's going to be next door.

But that's that's a problem, y'all?

That's a problem. And so understand.

That God is building a. Story And he's building a

conviction in our church that he must have plans for longevity

because he's building a faith that can't be moved when you got

a story like ours that's going to be by the time it's done like

you can't tell us nothing. I mean, not in a prideful way,

just in what God's ability is. And so in this little garage, in

this community that people was is is encouraged to stay away.

12146 people found our little. Hello, Saying it, me and my

wife, me and some people talking about, well, what we going to do

about overflow. Do you know how many people in

Vancouver stand in long lines waiting to get in restaurants?

Get out of here. Get out of here.

So as we give today, you're going to see these baskets right

here. I'm believing 100% of the people

here are going to give. Now it would have been beautiful

if 12146 people gave when they came in.

So I'm here to tell you all your family and friends they got a

year. But next year we we charge it

ain't ain't no donation, ain't no I'm not doing no.

Donation. No, no, yeah, people, you give

people an option, they ain't going to pay for it.

So we charge it next year. And when we do a production, the

goal is the investor. What's going to be added in the

investor is going to be an ability to pay everyone that

puts the production. On I don't care if it's. $50 a

person like we're not doing it for the money, but we got to

start somewhere. But it's a lot of Labor that go

into that. So when the investor comes, it's

going to be they paying for food.

So they going to make sure that Deborah and hospitality

everybody can get, get, get get the food we want.

And we going to be able to pay our actors and actresses and

musicians and and all of that and and all of that stuff.

So believe but we going to start off by giving to our church

ourselves. OK, this is the.

Year for some of you where? Everything changes.

I'm going to say it again. This is the year for some of you

where everything changes. Come on, every, every.

This is the year. For you, everything is changing.

It's changing. Now, kids, don't be filling out

an envelope. And then go ask your parents to

fulfill it later. Like be I'm saying that for my

children too. Like some of y'all, the kids got

a lot of faith when it ain't they money.

Amen. So consult with your parents.

Hallelujah, Lord, we ask. You this morning that you will

bless the. Every giver right now, in Jesus

name, Lord, you've already paved the path.

The harvest is already. On its.

Way Hallelujah so we just thank you father that we.
