-
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.
-
That's your testimony. Give God a big old shout of
-
prayer. Thank you, thank you.
-
You could be seated in the presence of a good, good God.
-
Can I just start off by saying thank you for those that were
-
here yesterday and he chose to be here again this morning?
-
Thank you. I really appreciate it and I'm
-
really encouraged. See, for me, let me let I'm be
-
clear, like I do have a choice of when I'm coming to church and
-
like I, I can come if I want to. I cannot come if I want to.
-
It's like I don't have to be here, right?
-
But I do, right. And a lot of times people, you
-
know, wonder why pastors and leaders or CEOs or bosses, the
-
anointing rests on them in a certain way.
-
God favors them in a certain way and why people honor them a
-
certain way because the price, the difference in what you pay
-
and others pay, it's a little different, right?
-
So I choose to not choose when I'm a come and I understand that
-
no one can replace me. No one can replace you.
-
Anybody can come preach, anybody can come sit in that chair,
-
anybody could sing songs. But no one is sonically wired
-
like you. No one is anointed like you.
-
No one carries your presence. You are a one of one.
-
And I think one of the biggest tricks the enemy plays on people
-
in church is that you are replaceable.
-
You think when you're not here, they got enough help, but what
-
people, what you have, what you have minimized yourself to is
-
help, not a presence that is specific and meaningful, right?
-
That when you walk in the room, when Eris walks in the room,
-
stand up Eris right there, there's there's a presence.
-
So here's the thing. You may not necessarily notice
-
when that person is gone because some people have more presence
-
than others due to repetition, but you know when they're there.
-
Some of you don't know people are here because you're too
-
familiar with them, and you just automatically assume they're
-
here. See.
-
Thank you, Sir. See, there's people in here that
-
when you not here, I miss when you're not here.
-
And so whenever you're not here, it doesn't matter what your
-
reason is, what your presence means to me, it may be even
-
different than what it means to you.
-
See, I understand what's on my life, so I understand why God
-
put me somewhere. See, you think you put you here,
-
so then you can take you away from here and not think that
-
your absence does not matter. But when you understand God hand
-
picked you and hand placed you, then it removes your ability to
-
be able. I can show up when I want to
-
know God needs you here. So then if God needs me
-
somewhere, it don't matter how much it costs, he will replenish
-
it. So I can't be with my kids right
-
now, But guess what he will do? He will replenish that.
-
I can't be there to counsel them, get them.
-
But guess I'm counseling somebody else's kids.
-
And guess what he going to do? He's going to send a laborer to
-
my kids. See.
-
You don't understand that You're more than help.
-
You're a seed. Yeah, OK.
-
You are a seed. Not just what comes out your
-
pocket every time you show up. You're sewing.
-
So I never just show up to church.
-
Like, Nah, man, I, man, when I leave this place, I haven't
-
expected harvest for showing up. Hallelujah.
-
Don't play with me because I'm really trying to close this
-
year. Strong.
-
Like happy, happy. Amen.
-
Baker's man. Hey, man, This place was packed
-
last night, right? Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm not at all
-
surprised because God told us it would be.
-
That's why I tell the team I'm like, we're scrambling around.
-
He's like, what? But he told us to prepare.
-
And when people show up, we were just like, whoa.
-
And you find out who really was expecting God to do something.
-
But then there's people who aren't here.
-
God bless their soul that are like I'm going to come tonight.
-
Well tonight got a different grace on it.
-
If anybody if you're going to be greedy, be greedy about his
-
presence and his people and his word.
-
Lord, may you restore in birth of hunger in your children for
-
your word. I look forward to seeing you
-
guys and I don't ever know who you guys going to be, but I do
-
look forward to it. You guys presents more than your
-
faces mean so much to me and I speak on behalf of the Lord your
-
presence. Deborah Wayne, you guys have
-
kids right now. Sometimes we see our kids kind
-
of like argue or act crazy and it breaks our heart when they
-
fight, but it warms our heart to see our children enjoy each
-
other's company. Any parent that has multiple
-
kids, see what you got to understand.
-
It warms God's heart when He sees his children come together.
-
Wish you could feel that. We've made coming to church
-
about us sorry. It's really not about you.
-
Look at your neighbors, say I'm sorry, but it's not about you.
-
The glory days, the glory days, the glory days.
-
Overgrown with fruit. Wait, let me get the rest out.
-
Effie, I did miss you last Sunday.
-
I missed that part of you overgrown with Just make it
-
easy. Just just make it easy.
-
Just sit right, right there. You trying to squeeze her all up
-
in the hey, man, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
-
Overgrown with fruit. Overshadowed by glory through
-
the darkest nights, overcome by Shalom.
-
Overboard is your sorrow. Overboard is your depression.
-
Overboard is your worry. Stepping into what will seem to
-
be overboard. Now I'm going to start over
-
because I have a sense that some people are trying to figure out
-
if this scripture or poem or this is a word from the Lord
-
that was written on the way here in the car.
-
OK, The glory days overgrown with fruit, overshadowed by
-
glory, and through the darkest nights you will be overcome by
-
Shalom. Overboard is your sorrow.
-
Overboard is your depression overboard is your worry stepping
-
into what will seem to be years of overboard?
-
Switch of word Switch of meaning 1 overboard is we're throwing or
-
your sorrow depression is being thrown overboard in the coming
-
days, stepping into what will seem to be a new season that
-
will to some it will seem overboard.
-
Now we're talking about that. Seem like too much.
-
Overflow with joy, Overflow with strength.
-
Overflow with character. Overflow with courage.
-
Overflow with fight. Long life is your portion.
-
Overflow is your right. The enemy will be overwhelmed by
-
the anointing, overwhelmed by the storming, overwhelmed by the
-
force My bride will rise with. Overwhelmed He will be.
-
You are ready, my children. You are ready for the favor.
-
You are ready for the rain. You are ready for the increase.
-
But don't forget, from where it came, through your pain, I made
-
you ready. Through your scars, I made you
-
ready. Through the droughts, I kept you
-
steady. It was me.
-
In the heavy burdens I removed yokes I destroyed.
-
It is you that I am after. It's my hope I've deployed.
-
I believe in you. You are ready, the father says.
-
I am fascinated with you. I'm not disgusted by you.
-
I'm not ashamed of you. Will you walk with me?
-
You won't regret it. Will you talk with me?
-
You won't regret it. Will you run with me?
-
You won't regret it. Will you take my hand?
-
You won't regret it. Look to the hills.
-
Stay fixed on me. There's no need to get ready.
-
You are ready. Just stay ready.
-
Here comes the king tide. The days of overwhelming glory
-
is upon us. Overwhelm us.
-
Lord, Slip your hands and pray into that for a second.
-
Overwhelm us, Lord, May we be distracted by Your agenda for
-
our lives. May we be distracted by your
-
presence. May we thirst and hunger for
-
You, free from shame, free from
-
guilt, and may your Bride rise and great authority.
-
May your Bride realize the great glory that is upon her calling
-
forth the Remnant, those that are hungry and thirsty for
-
righteousness. The Remnant, those that are
-
willing to seek Him first. The remnant, those that delight
-
in Him. The remnant that are distracted
-
by Him and not worldly business. The remnant, the ones that are
-
overwhelmed by Him and not circumstances.
-
The remnant that is ready to put a shovel in one hand, yeah, and
-
a knife in the other. The remnant that is after the
-
King and his Kingdom. The remnant that is after the
-
approval of their Creator, not the approval of man.
-
The remnant that is willing to work overtime for the Kingdom,
-
but not overtime for the world. The remnant that is willing to
-
invest time, energy, health so they can run the race for the
-
king who ran the race for them. The season of sweatless victory.
-
The season of yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Some of you're like, no, I'm always have to work hard and
-
sweat. No, you.
-
When are you ever going to sit back and receive what you sweat
-
it for? I don't know about you, but I've
-
sweat it a lot. Your labor is not in vain.
-
Tis the season to be joyful La La La La La La La La.
-
Somebody say increase. I'm ready for mine.
-
Yeah, I I wouldn't end this year worried.
-
I would end this year grateful you got 300 something days out
-
of this year. You best believe the enemy tried
-
to take you out. And for God to bring you 300
-
something, 300 something days, you got way too much to be
-
grateful for. Come on, you don't need no
-
worship team. You can sing your own song
-
if you if you are blessed to make it to the end of 365 days,
-
God would have kept you 8760 hours.
-
You think out of 8760 hours, something could have happened.
-
That's a lot of time. Here's you can't think
-
gratitude. You can't meditate Thanksgiving,
-
thanks. If you when, when you are truly
-
full of gratitude, you, you, your mouth just opens.
-
Like when you walk in a store in today's world and the door just
-
opened. Every step I take, my mouth says
-
thank you. Every step my mouth says you're
-
worthy. You, you, you, anybody, anybody
-
got that Apple Watch or some sort of watch that keeps your
-
steps? Some folks 20,000 steps today.
-
The fact that I walked 20,000 steps today and some folks can't
-
get out of bed. Hallelujah.
-
Let's bring it down. What I imagine Adam was created
-
for. And Adam and Eve, they were born
-
into perfection. All they had to do is live a
-
life of thank you. You want to return to the
-
garden? Quick, live a life of gratitude.
-
Hallelujah. Somebody say increase the
-
acceleration and expansion of the Kingdom.
-
Last week we started, I guess a series, whatever you want to
-
call it, to end the year. God said, OK, I didn't bop, bop,
-
bop, bop, bop. People didn't in their mind and
-
got beat up for a couple months and they didn't realize.
-
They've been deceived in a lot of areas and there's been a lot
-
of repentance. I don't know about you, but
-
there's been some repentance in my life and I can hear people's
-
minds right now. When you think of repenting, you
-
like, oh, what is Pastor T did bad?
-
Sometimes you need to repent from making so many excuses.
-
Sometimes you need to repent from procrastinating.
-
Sometimes you need to repent from doubting God.
-
You see, none of that was like evil.
-
You see, what's evil to us is is is is see God can create his own
-
first 48 and and with just people's thoughts.
-
He can create his own murder shows with just thoughts.
-
Some of you murder stuff and gifts and talents just in your
-
own thoughts. You kill your own dreams.
-
See, we think evil is just like like we make demonic stuff like
-
what? See, the devil is smart in that
-
way. He he presents to us what evil
-
is. So our definition of evil is
-
what the devil tells us evil is our evil is not what God says is
-
evil because Jesus says it's evil.
-
If you even look up on that woman that way, Oh no, you don't
-
need no penetration. You don't need no laying down,
-
you don't need no rubbing. How you looking at her?
-
How's your thoughts evil. But you think evil is like you
-
think evil is somebody walking down the street talking to their
-
self. The fact that you haven't obeyed
-
God yet is evil. The fact that God's been calling
-
you to to a higher level rather that's in service rather that's
-
in sewing, that's evil and you haven't disobedient.
-
Understand that we are here not because Adam and Eve killed
-
somebody. We're here because they didn't
-
obey one word. We're here because they ate off
-
one tree that God said don't eat off of.
-
That was this whole thing was flipped upside down because of
-
one couple's disobedience. No one was murdered.
-
You want to talk evil? You wallow in your insecurities.
-
You let your anxiousness consume you.
-
No, that's not the devil. The devil said, hey, try this
-
anxiety on. He was like, OK, that kind of
-
that kind of looked like my size.
-
That that kind of looked like my size.
-
OK, I look good at anxiety. Got that, Armani, that AX.
-
No, you wearing anxiety? You ever try a sample?
-
That's nasty how you going to be mad at the person that gave it
-
to you? You tried it when it get on my
-
nerves sometime but my wife oh I don't care what it is, she
-
smells everything before she eats it.
-
You you think you think the Bible, the Bible says to try the
-
spirit, right? Have you ever checked your
-
anxiety at the door? Have you ever seen that ain't
-
mine? That you better take that to to
-
my neighbor or something that's not mine.
-
Oh, that was my mama's jacket. The enemy.
-
Just who is it? Anxiety.
-
No. I was expecting you to come over
-
last night. They prayed for anxiety.
-
I knew it wasn't gone. Come in.
-
Take your seat. The fact that it was gone last
-
night. The fact that you had it last
-
night and it showed up knocking, Wait a minute, you have some of
-
y'all, some of y'all too smart. The fact that it showed up
-
knocking means it's on the other side of the door.
-
All right, let me get back to my message.
-
Somebody say increase Luke 17. Nor will people say look here,
-
here it is or because they're they're asking where's the
-
Kingdom of God? It's coming.
-
Is it Lord? Is it coming from north?
-
Is it coming from the South? Is it coming from the east?
-
Is it coming from the West is is the is the Kingdom of God at the
-
deliverance service is the Kingdom of God when I get
-
promotions is the Kingdom of God after I get my diploma is the
-
Kingdom of God after I get married.
-
He says man, it ain't coming in signs and wonders.
-
That's not, he says the Kingdom of God is.
-
It's already within you. That is a major statement.
-
So if the Kingdom of God is in me, then that means peace, that
-
means joy, that means everything I need, it's within me.
-
Everything he says, it's within you, in your hearts.
-
So here's the key. If you, if you're not
-
experiencing the Kingdom in your heart, then you have to cut back
-
the weeds because it's there. It's just overgrown.
-
There's something in your heart blocking you from experiencing
-
the Kingdom. Or just call God a liar because
-
some of you don't experience the Kingdom.
-
What is the Kingdom? It's not clouds and angels.
-
The Kingdom is peace being alive in you activated I I I didn't
-
get to this last night, but he says the thief came to steal,
-
kill and destroy. But I've come that you might
-
have what life life to the full in abundance till it overflows.
-
Whenever we see that scripture guarantee, most of us when we
-
hear abundance, we think an accumulation of things.
-
But, but let me tell you something really quickly.
-
Life is not the world or the things in the world, that is not
-
life. Life is within you, not without
-
you. You carry life.
-
So when he's saying life in abundance, I mean joy and
-
abundance, peace and abundance, faith and abundance, hope and
-
abundance, that's life. How do I know that?
-
In the beginning, the Bible says that God came down to our
-
nostrils and he was breathed in US and what happened?
-
Then we came a living he breathed life into us after he
-
surrounded look, he breathed life into them first, then
-
surrounded them with things. And we think life is just like,
-
oh, got that blessing on blessing, blessing.
-
God bless me with iPad. God bless me and not once have I
-
seen you excited about having peace with all your trophies and
-
you've made you've made your iPad your idol, you've made even
-
even that. And we've given so much away.
-
We've made abundance all about stuff.
-
So then whatever we have exalted has the ability to discourage us
-
and bring the be the source of our anxiety and depression.
-
Here it is. If you have made things your
-
blessing, watch me grace, watch me grace.
-
If you've made things your blessing, it it don't matter if
-
you you like No, I know God. No, no.
-
What's coming out of your mouth and what gets your affection?
-
When you wake up in the morning, do you get turned like you do
-
when you get a promotion? See.
-
So whatever you can get turned about consistently is what has
-
your affection. The Spirit of the Lord is here.
-
We just gave someone a car. Wow, look at God.
-
Oh look at God, I tell you, the Lord is here.
-
You like where he at? But then you say look at God.
-
Oh boy, you got that brand new beans out there.
-
Look at God, walk in here. The Spirit of God is here.
-
Y'all where's where's he at? See our our awareness is
-
heightened about things. Therefore things can always
-
bring us down. But when God is magnified
-
things, something like this becomes like this.
-
But you've made this problem this.
-
Like even you students like So what, you got a bad grade and
-
just study a little harder, adjust like like the way the
-
school system is and not everybody that that grade
-
doesn't reflect your intelligence.
-
Now you know if you put in the work or not and you make your
-
adjustment right. You know if you're too busy, you
-
know if you need to decrease activity, but too many students
-
have their identity in their grades.
-
No, I'm not I'm I'm I'm always a a right.
-
You go Canada. You, you, you're a student.
-
If you get 80%, you go to America.
-
You you got to get a 90 plus. So you can't take the man puts
-
these y'all walking around here afraid because you got to tell
-
somebody. You got to see see, I got to
-
see. I passed.
-
I can see color again. Amen.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Come on, somebody, somebody
-
touch. They touch their belly and say
-
the Kingdom of God is within me. It's among me and it's
-
surrounding me. And there's one translation that
-
says, and it's expanding. This expanding means that the
-
Kingdom is meant to to influence.
-
The Kingdom is increasing in us, to come out of us so that
-
everything around us is impacted by the very government that is
-
within us. And it is to the measure that
-
you are submitted to the government within that it will
-
have the ability to impact without.
-
So you can't sell a Kingdom you ain't submitted to.
-
You can't impart the authority of God if he can't even get you
-
submitted to it. Kingdom of God is the realm
-
where Jesus's authority is established, acknowledge, and
-
obeyed. It's the realm where Jesus
-
governs between heaven and earth.
-
It's his ways, his truth and his life.
-
His ways, his truth and his life.
-
All right, I'm going to go to my phone real quick.
-
I have a note in here that I wrote and I'm going to just
-
share it with you. It is what it is.
-
I'm free to do. So it just dawned on me like
-
every religion can only follow ways because none of them have
-
life and they're based on truth, but not pure truth.
-
Have you ever heard of a movie that is based on a true story?
-
See, This is why it makes Jesus. He's not.
-
He didn't just say he's the way. Because every religion follows
-
ways of a man or God. So if it's Buddha, if it's if
-
it's whatever it may be, that man or that God or that guru has
-
ways that were worthy to follow, but they're not the truth.
-
The ways may be truth, but they're not the truth.
-
Jesus is the way. Jesus is the truth, and here it
-
is. No religion has the life.
-
They only have a way, right? And so when you're following,
-
This is why there's this tension because, yeah, this religion
-
over here, they're great people. They have great principles, and
-
their lives are, their ways are more disciplined than ours.
-
They believe in their ways more than we believe in our truth.
-
But Jesus is the way, He is the truth, and he's the only source
-
that can provide the life. And that's why the enemy doesn't
-
mind us following ways. And that's why we'll find
-
different religions in different churches, because they do
-
different things different ways. But we need to find churches
-
based on the truth and a church with the life in it, that you
-
might find a church that got the way.
-
You might find a church that got the truth.
-
But do the church got the life? Yes.
-
Give me the life and past the hope.
-
Somebody say increase, if we going to get on the roll here,
-
we going to get on the roll here.
-
Increase is to grow, it is to increase, it is to enlarge.
-
And it refers to the growth of that which is alive.
-
Not You can't grow dead. You can't grow around a group of
-
friends that's dead. You can't grow under a Mama
-
that's dead. You can't grow under a husband
-
that's dead. You can't get healthy.
-
You get what I'm saying? You can't get healthy toenails
-
if your toenails are dead. How many people understand dead,
-
dead? You get what I'm saying?
-
Come on. Say you got to be alive to grow.
-
This is why it's important to be in a church that's alive or the
-
truth stops at the table. Truth to table church.
-
They give you the they give you the truth, and it stops right in
-
your medulla. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
I got it right this time. I got it right this time.
-
I got it right this time. You're right.
-
Properly placed. Hallelujah, right?
-
It, it, it, it gets stops here because there's no life behind
-
it. Ain't it crazy how you can
-
preach about the truth and the life, but if that life ain't in
-
you, that word does not get released with it?
-
It's why I love a good preach. We need to get back to good old
-
preaching, right? It ain't about the intellect all
-
the time. It's like, man, I just need to
-
hear somebody that's just convicted by the word, like a
-
good old just convicted word that's declaring and decreeing
-
and proclaiming. It is what it is, whether you
-
think so or believe it or like it or not.
-
Come on, somebody shout out. It is what it is.
-
Increase. Somebody say increase.
-
Great. Increase is greatness.
-
It's something unusually large in size and dimension.
-
Increase. It is abundance.
-
It's more than you are prepared for.
-
It's it's bigness, it's vastness, it's hugeness, it's
-
gargantuan. It's it's when, it's when God
-
says He will make you great, expect something enormous.
-
This increase is on His mind for His bride, right.
-
I was talking to Annabeth, anybody was here last night and
-
somebody came up to me and said, we want I want to bless, bless
-
Annabeth with a whip. And so Annabeth began to talk a
-
little later. And she was like, yeah, when I
-
was up here, I was, I wasn't really grasping and I was
-
thinking about it, but for a second I was like, not me.
-
And then immediately her growth the the Kingdom increase within
-
said no, no, no, no. Why not you?
-
Why, why not you right? Why, why not me right, right.
-
There needs to be a remnant of people.
-
The remnant will not be people full of false humility.
-
God needs some bold, courageous, prosperous.
-
I'm just like people, people be whining about Vancouver so
-
expensive. I'm like, well, God wouldn't
-
have brought me here if I wasn't expensive.
-
What? So what that what that say about
-
me, right? Rent keep going up.
-
Well, I must be getting some increase.
-
Somebody say mindset. Isaiah 9 says there shall be no
-
end to the increase of His government and of peace.
-
There's no increase in peace. So my peace should go from glory
-
to glory to glory, glory to glory to glory to glory to glory
-
to glory to God. Hey.
-
Glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to God.
-
Come on. Glory to glory to glory to glory
-
to glory to glory to God. Say glory to glory to glory.
-
To glory, to glory to God. To the only, to the only God,
-
the majesty. Let the people face him, rejoice
-
in all his justice, and be thankful for all he has done
-
till the generation from the mountains.
-
All by his spirit of victory is one for the Lord.
-
He's worthy to be praised. To
-
the only God. Somebody shout out, increase,
-
sit down. There shall be no end to the
-
increase. We're done.
-
There should be no end to the increase.
-
Somebody say that there should be no end to the increase.
-
His government. This is why I'm trying to tell
-
y'all, miss, get rid of that political spirit, right?
-
Get rid of it like get rid of it like like like like you were
-
going to be disappointed because his government is being
-
established like all other governments supposed to fall and
-
crumble. No government is made to to
-
satisfy you because the world's government is not built on the
-
way, the truth and the life. It uses Kingdom principles in
-
certain ways, but it's not the truth.
-
It cannot stand. A Kingdom divided cannot stand.
-
So if the world's government is divided, guess what's coming?
-
A fall. And what's going to be the
-
pillar of his Kingdom in today's world?
-
His peace. It's going to be so much chaos
-
and so much darkness in this world, and there's going to be
-
you standing right there. How you doing 1000 may fall by
-
our side, but he said, man, it shouldn't even you're going to
-
be a in the in the dark day. You're going to be a spectator
-
right folks going to be like you heard about tonight.
-
What you talking about? You heard that house got blew up
-
next door. I didn't even know I was asleep.
-
Somebody shout out peace, He says.
-
He says in order to establish it and uphold it, to establish his
-
Kingdom, his government, and uphold it with justice and
-
righteousness. The only place people are going
-
to be able to find justice is not through the lack of police
-
brutality. You're trying to get peace in
-
spaces that the ingredients will never equate to peace.
-
Poverty and peace don't mix. Injustice and peace don't mix.
-
Inequality never births peace. This is why you think you see
-
everything that people are is banging on on on on government's
-
doors to change. It's already in the Kingdom of
-
God. This is why God needs you to
-
trust His ways so that people when they come to you, you may
-
like, how is this working for you?
-
Well, I tithe, I I I worship, I, I, I serve my local church.
-
I, you mean you don't work? You don't we don't work 60 hours
-
a week. Well, how you got you mean you
-
mean your your business closed on Sunday and you make more than
-
mines. How how is that?
-
Well, like if you really want to know, I could tell you why it's
-
popping for me. But but if you fell in due to
-
the same, if you're failing because you're believing in the
-
same thing that they believe in, in how you going to help your
-
coworkers when you living off the same system?
-
You don't got nothing different to offer them except Sunday
-
service and some of you that's all you can offer.
-
Your family is come to my church.
-
Your witness is not worth following.
-
People need more than church, they need life.
-
And if your life don't look too much different than theirs,
-
guess what? It ain't worth going to the
-
place you say give you life. Hallelujah, hollow back and it
-
says the zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
-
The passion of God. You wonder why I'm like, man,
-
have some Dang passion. It's the zeal of God of the Lord
-
of hosts. So our wet, he's going to do way
-
more damage to darkness through our joy than your anxious
-
thoughts. Your overthinking is killing
-
you. That ain't the devil.
-
That's overthinking. Says great and vast.
-
Somebody say great and vast. Somebody say increase.
-
Look, great and vast is his dominion.
-
What dominion? That same dominion he shared in
-
Genesis 1. Oops.
-
Where's it at? In me.
-
In me, he will bring immeasurable peace and
-
prosperity. Where is that in me?
-
He didn't did it? Look, when, when the Bible says
-
he's going to bring immeasurable peace and immeasurable
-
prosperity, it's not like he got a it's not like, you know, it's
-
on street like Canada Post is on strike.
-
Like he can't bring it now. No, no, no.
-
What he's saying is he's going to manifest it.
-
It's it what he's going to bring.
-
He's going to bring it out of you.
-
Some of y'all pray like God got to like like, like God got to
-
like Amazon prime storage somewhere in Langley and you
-
think his angels is just like, like, like overworked and and
-
they're behind schedule and everything that you will ever
-
need to get out of any situation is within you.
-
God can't work outside of what he's put in you.
-
And if you don't know what's in you, that's why you don't have
-
an answer because you didn't know the answer is within you.
-
And that's why he says be still, because I need to, I need to, I
-
need to small skill voice. And this is the power of
-
revelation. That's why you can't just be an
-
intellectual. You need revelation.
-
You need God to unwrap some mysteries.
-
You sitting here. This is why it's dangerous just
-
being a church that just reads the Bible to you.
-
I don't need nobody to read the Bible to me.
-
I can do that myself. Sorry.
-
Hey man, no, I'm not sorry. Hallelujah.
-
Next scripture, this marvelous passion of the Lord.
-
Let's let's move Genesis 1 and God.
-
This is about to get so good. If you if you open, if you open
-
and God bless them and God blessed them.
-
If this is Genesis, is this Genesis?
-
Where's Genesis in the Bible? All right, all right.
-
You know that much? OK.
-
And where's Genesis 1? No, it's in the beginning of
-
Genesis. There we go.
-
There we go. Genesis 1.
-
And God bless them, granting them certain authority.
-
What did he do this in the beginning?
-
Come on, choir, y'all be chatting, Captain too much.
-
And God bless them, granting them certain what authority?
-
There's a specific authority that's up on your life.
-
Now I want you to understand if you read your Bible, this was
-
already, this was an authority and a blessing that was not in
-
the physical. Ephesians one says every
-
spiritual blessing have been given to you in the heavenly
-
realm. So God bless you before you was
-
formed in your mama's womb. So you arrived, blessed you, you
-
slid out the womb blessed. And it's your Mama job, your
-
community's job to make you aware of the blessing more than
-
the sin. Nature came out the womb
-
blessed. It's why we got to be careful
-
how we raise our kids and what we're sending them into the
-
world to look for. You know, what we should raise
-
our kids is to be aware of what's in them.
-
Look what he said. And God blessed them.
-
It wasn't until Genesis 323 He formed this body.
-
So you wonder why we walk by faith and not by sight?
-
Because that's how He was made. We wasn't made by the scene.
-
The unseen was put in the scene and then he put us on the scene
-
and look what he said. Be fruitful.
-
He didn't say look for fruit. Walking like a dog, walking like
-
a Alright, alright, stop playing, stop playing.
-
Stop playing. Stop playing.
-
Stop playing. Stop playing.
-
Amen. That was the old man doing that.
-
Walking like a well, I I know, I I know how to get out.
-
Stop playing. Don't play with me.
-
OK, that's it. That's it, That's it.
-
Be fruitful. And what?
-
Multiply and you see how the enemy then worked own us in the
-
church to attack those who are taught that fruitfulness and
-
multiplication and increase is for the bride.
-
We're we're look, we're make the world is the only folks that's
-
supposed to be rich. Let the world let the church get
-
wealth like for real wealth. Let me put it this way.
-
Can I just be real? Let some culturally relevant
-
folks get rich because the folks that's rich a lot of times in
-
the church ain't fooling with the culture.
-
You, you way up here with your rich, right?
-
And that's why you need to give in to a church like this,
-
because a church like this about to go get, you know what I'm
-
saying? The one the ones that walk like
-
this. You know what I'm saying, right?
-
It's going to be the girls. That's this out on the corner
-
this see that that's it. That's who needs to get wealthy.
-
You 2, you 2 up here with your wealth.
-
So then when you have pastors that are anointed to preach
-
prosperity in the hood, we persecute them.
-
But why we can't have money like you?
-
I know you're not thinking this way because you never had to,
-
because you, some of you have never been oppressed.
-
But the people who have been oppressed need to know that in
-
their salvation package, poverty is not a part of it.
-
But see, This is why Jesus slid in on a donkey and slid into the
-
Manger because he wanted a group of people to know that you was
-
wealthy coming in your your house ain't your wealth.
-
Your car ain't your wealth. This garage understands.
-
We upgraded the price on this garage through our That's why
-
God needs you to be places because what's on you adds value
-
everywhere you go. Be fruitful.
-
Multiply and feel the earth. What is what is well, This is
-
why I'm glad God did it back. What what what would be to the
-
world backwards. But I think it's is that I've
-
learned I've learned to live and make him my source before I got
-
resources. You know what I'm saying?
-
Because like, like I would have hate to be now that I went
-
through it, it would have been nice, but I'm I'm glad I wasn't
-
born in the wealth. I'm glad God gave me this firm
-
foundation so that all increase from this point forward.
-
It's not going to make us. So if God needs it, needs it to
-
go somewhere, it's what? No problem.
-
Some of you identity is in your career.
-
It's in your intelligent. Before you found God, you got a
-
diploma. So your identity is in your
-
head. It's in your smarts, it's in
-
your ability. And so when God asks you to put
-
stuff down, you're like, no, can't do that.
-
And you haven't found identity in Christ yet.
-
But God needs some wealthy folks who does not make wealth an
-
idol. So, so, so, so so actually, like
-
Lecrae says, being broke made me rich.
-
There was something about lack. But in the midst of the lack, I
-
found wealth in God. My soul got prosperous.
-
So now these resources is like this.
-
God is like this. So then when resources come.
-
It's never like this resource God Nas is God resource.
-
Can we be wealthy without compromise?
-
That's what the world needs. Or you'll get a Drake.
-
Or you'll get a lot of Christians that you know, a lot
-
of pop stars say they're Christians, but their lives does
-
not represent the way, the truth and the life.
-
Be fruitful, Multiply and fill the earth subjugated, putting it
-
under your power. Put it under your power.
-
Why are you under the world's power?
-
Why are you under your resources?
-
Powers, huh? Huh.
-
I got to go home, get some sleep so I can go work for some more
-
resources. But.
-
But that's not how that that's under the curse.
-
How do I say that? Adam got his strength for daily
-
work from presents. He never had to lay down for the
-
next day. Did he sleep?
-
Yeah. But was he abiding in presents?
-
Yeah. Was he meant to not be alone?
-
Yeah, They were both supposed to be in presence.
-
He was blessed and all he was told.
-
I'm going to multiply it. I'm going.
-
God's going to multiply it by me stewarding.
-
Multiplication comes through stewarding what's given.
-
It doesn't come through me laboring for more.
-
It comes for me laboring to rest.
-
Stewart, what he gave, he says rule over dominate.
-
Dominate, dominate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Dominate, dominate, right. Dominate.
-
Somebody say dominate is what I'm telling you, Annabeth, like
-
dominate, you don't come with me.
-
This is why God damn God sent you to this church.
-
You had you had all of this, all of this authority and anointing
-
in there. You just wanted to, you just
-
take your shoes off and just, yeah, I'm talking about you
-
right now because that's the old you.
-
It's still in there, right? It's still in there.
-
Look at her. She kind of put her cheerleader
-
style. All right, now you like.
-
Come on, BT, move on. BT move on.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.
-
Because people are blessed by you dominating atmosphere and
-
walking in your authority. The the birds of the air and
-
every living thing that moves upon the earth, Luke 1 says, and
-
listen, you will become pregnant.
-
This is how it's happening for you.
-
God's impregnating you. It's within and you'll give
-
birth to what God has put into you, right?
-
And what God has put into you is meant to bring redemption to
-
people. Your finances should bring
-
redemption to communities. Your resources should bring
-
redemption. That car brought some redemption
-
and here it is. It wasn't about oh, I don't got
-
to drive no more. It's oh, I saw the hand of God.
-
Oh God really just will, will will bless if I just keep him
-
first. When I wasn't keeping him first
-
to get blessed. I I was putting him first
-
because he is my first and I just so happened found a word
-
where he told me that I can expect to be blessed because I
-
work the first part of the word and and he will reign over the
-
House of Jacob throughout the ages, throughout the age,
-
somebody say throughout the ages, throughout the ages.
-
And Mary said the Angel, how can this be?
-
Some of you are like how are we about to walk in this year
-
increase. How are we about to walk in the
-
year of the impossible? Since I have no intimacy since I
-
haven't earned it, since I have not it on my resume since our
-
don't no no millionaires since I'm too old to go back to
-
school. How are these things that you're
-
telling me going to give birth? Some of you are pregnant with
-
stuff you don't you're not qualified for.
-
So that's why you you paralyzed because you like, I don't know
-
how this going to happen. That's God.
-
Some of y'all pregnant with stuff that you could do without
-
God, that ain't him. Some of y'all need God.
-
See, I'm not talking about the the bear the bear vision.
-
I'm talking about the vastness of the vision, Deborah.
-
You. I I know, I I can tell by the
-
way, you what you produce. You not thinking about no
-
little, little bakery cart. Deborah ain't trying to go up
-
and down the street with a cart of cookies.
-
No, Deborah, did she? I ain't heard.
-
I ain't heard all of it. Deborah's thinking factory.
-
She thinking of blessing people with jobs as much as she loves
-
bacon, she ain't thinking of being the main Baker, right?
-
So big it it's making you say how, how when you have to ask
-
how God's trying to enter you into a conversation that will
-
lead to him being the source. And he says the the Holy Spirit,
-
Hey, what you pregnant with? The reason you ain't been able
-
to give birth to it is because you got to make the Holy Spirit
-
the driver. I don't know how it's going to
-
happen. He said, I know you don't.
-
That's why you need the Holy Ghost.
-
He'll come up on you, anoint you, empower you to live with
-
you, not just to show up when you need answers.
-
Then you're like, OK, Holy Ghost, I got it from here.
-
Oh, flat tire. Holy Ghost.
-
Help. No, no, no, no.
-
He stays in the driver's seat. And then sometime he'll be like,
-
come on, put your hand on the wheel like you do kids.
-
You're like, go ahead. And a kid think they drive it or
-
they sit in the leg. You ever let a kid do get in
-
while the car parked? The power of the most high will
-
over shadow you right he says the spirit of the Lord comes
-
upon you. You shall receive what power,
-
ability, efficiency and might see see Deborah the Deborah's
-
and the elders and some of you that's about to give birth to
-
businesses. Andrew God God has been he's
-
trying. He is trying to get the he has
-
been waiting to get the labor out of your effort like you're
-
like like the way you've been imagining yourself running a
-
business has been too laborious for him to help you.
-
God is never going to present you something that is going to
-
take you out. It may cause you to lean on him.
-
It should, but this this labor like you've been seeing
-
yourself, labor like others that have businesses that you look up
-
to. It's good to get information
-
from those that have went before you, but be careful taking on
-
the spirit of their grind because you got to get in the
-
industry as a representative of peace.
-
You're going to get in the business and show people that,
-
no, I can keep my family intact. No, I got time for my kids.
-
No, I could not have to open on Sundays and steal ball out.
-
No, my business can run without me there.
-
You're going in as a model Kingdom citizen, but you've seen
-
yourself laboring like your friends.
-
Here it is. And some of you are afraid to
-
start because your example of people that's in the business
-
makes it scary. It's like getting married.
-
You talked to the wrong people about marriage.
-
Oh, my God, be better to think twice.
-
Marriage is work. You can say the same thing by
-
saying, man, marriage is beautiful.
-
It it. Yeah, you're going to work for
-
glory, right? You're going to have to submit
-
to one another. You're going to have to listen
-
to one another. But what it produces for
-
longevity and for life, marriage is, is got to be one of the most
-
beautiful covenants the world has ever been given an
-
opportunity to be in, right? That you be hanging out with
-
friends that give terror, terror testimonies.
-
A terror testimony is a terrorist to your testimony.
-
Ain't no slide for that. That just came out the oven, OK.
-
And look, he said, listen, your relative Elizabeth, who was
-
called Baron, right? So what's in you is it's so
-
powerful. You going to go around your
-
barren friends and family and look, here it is, here it is,
-
here it is, here it is. This is what I'm telling your
-
presence. Mary didn't walk in like
-
Elizabeth. I have good news.
-
No, no, no, no, no, no. She walked in.
-
Boom, life. What she's carrying is the king
-
dumb is expanding within. And when you go to work and when
-
you're in the marketplace, This is why God needs you separated
-
because what's within you, where you go, you do the impacting,
-
you do the influence. So it's going to take you a
-
little longer. Why?
-
Because you're on display of what patients look like, because
-
you know people who got it like that and now you envy how fast
-
they got it. But then where you going to be
-
as you go up and they go down, you going to be like, thank you,
-
God. No, no, no, you got to be
-
careful. You got to understand your route
-
supposed to take a little longer.
-
You'll route because you see you can't.
-
You can't. You can't.
-
You can't witness something too. That's too fast.
-
I need you to slow. Have you ever watched something
-
that was good? How many times you rewind it?
-
OK, you ready for this? This is why they make songs
-
shorter for us. It was a day where rap verse rap
-
songs had three verses. Now they give you just a bye
-
bye, bye bye before you know it is over.
-
Why? So you can rewind it.
-
It's that playback. But see, God needs you to walk
-
through so they can look at you struggling.
-
Take a look. Yep, I'm struggling.
-
See struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle.
-
You see struggle, struggle. Come on, you got it.
-
Struggle, right? Take a look.
-
Take a look. Look.
-
Garage. Look.
-
Take a look. Garage.
-
Yup. One year.
-
Yup. 2 years. I know.
-
Three years. Yeah, Yup.
-
Garage lease is almost up. We haven't went in yet, but
-
that's OK. Garage.
-
Look, God's like, look around. Take a real good look.
-
Take a real good look. And then people come in to
-
church and they walk away. They got to be like, Dang, how
-
they do it. You, you want to know why people
-
are going to give in to this project?
-
Because they, they see in the process, they like these people
-
got that joy and they we've been, we've been next door to
-
the, to the, let's just say the promise.
-
You know how many people could be frustrated that way?
-
This ain't what we signed up for.
-
That's what he showed us He's like, now go next door and wait.
-
You want to know why this Christmas experience have to be
-
here? God is witnessing to people get
-
like come and look at them in the garage.
-
This is about what He's doing. The same about us.
-
He packed this place out for him and for you individually.
-
That's why the wait is important.
-
How you wait is important. Listen for with God nothing is
-
ever impossible. We got that, we got that and
-
then Mary said let it. This is where you got to be
-
going in the next year. Let it be done.
-
Let it be done according to what you said.
-
Say is what he said. The ever increasing stirring
-
desire for the greater within us is about to come out of us.
-
Acts 16 I'm just about to. So the church.
-
The churches were strengthened and made firm in the what faith
-
and they what shouted out increase in number day after
-
day. They increase in number day
-
after day. They increase in number day
-
after day. Increase in number day after
-
day. Because the Holy Ghost was on
-
it. Somebody shout out increase.
-
Psalm 72 says in the days of his reign the righteous will spring
-
forth with the abundance of peace and prosperity
-
forevermore. How long is your peace supposed
-
to last? How long is your prosperity
-
supposed to last? May He subdue and take dominion
-
from what sea to sea? How far is your impact supposed
-
to go? Sea to sea.
-
May he rule from river. From the river to the rim.
-
Almost nine. Yes, indeed.
-
It won't be long now. God's decree.
-
Who said it? God did.
-
Things are going to happen. What, so fast your head will
-
swim? We've been reading this for a
-
few years now and some folks it's like Oh my God, can stuff
-
slow down? That's like saying God, can we
-
slow God's word down? Be quiet, be quiet When God
-
tells us something years ago you mad it didn't happen that year.
-
Oh where the increase when God don't work like us, he is
-
staying get prepared. And the increase came and blew
-
your little tent down because you didn't listen when he said
-
enlarge your tent picks. He said things are going to
-
happen so fast your, your head will swim one thing fast on the
-
heels of the other. See, you're trying to have,
-
you're trying to handle one thing on top of the other in
-
your own strength. Still, when God's decree says
-
things going to happen so fast, there's an anointing for so
-
fast. Well, here it is your witness
-
again, Bianca, your witness again.
-
People are going to wonder how are you so efficient doing all
-
that you're doing because there's an anointing.
-
How are you back at church again and only got 3 hours of sleep?
-
How you coming back again and going to kill the program?
-
How you going to be here Wednesday?
-
How y'all going to do a Christmas Eve?
-
How you going to do it? Family watching?
-
But there's an anointing man. I keep getting calls and seeing
-
stuff. Folks starting midweek services
-
again for for once all through the lower mainland on the
-
island. Oh, we about to launch a
-
Wednesday night. I'm not saying that's that's,
-
that's that's from us. What I am saying.
-
What I am saying is there are people warring so that God's
-
agenda can go forth. So what I do understand, there's
-
a remnant of people that are contending for the bride and
-
there's an awakening. There's an opening happened and
-
those that have ears to hear, they will hear.
-
We're not going to make it in these last days on 90 minutes a
-
week in the presence of our brothers and sisters.
-
You won't be able to keep up. This is what he's telling you.
-
You ain't supposed to be able to keep up because you supposed to
-
be with me. That's not a threat.
-
That's not a bet. I'm involved in something that I
-
need. Y'all God told me to start
-
singing a song. He didn't say the right key.
-
Now I'm going to work on that for next year.
-
But I sent you help. This moment is bigger than you.
-
Some of y'all won't sing because you think you can't.
-
But what if you're starting to sing?
-
Started the community to sing. That's why you hear Elder John.
-
Elder John, don't be on key. A lot of times he be prophet,
-
spontaneous worship, starting songs and everything.
-
But it's in his spirit and then you hear him say something and
-
it triggers something else. You've made worship all about
-
you. You've made the life of Christ
-
that's in you bout you. You won't be able to keep up.
-
Everything will be happening at once.
-
That is amazing. I'm going to be around.
-
I'm going to be a part of vastness, greatness.
-
I'm going to be a part of it, but I don't have the
-
responsibility to make it all happen.
-
That's so much freedom. And some of you eliminate
-
yourself from big because you think you're supposed to carry
-
big. Some of you stay away from big
-
because it will require you to depend on people and you
-
introvert you, you just, you do you.
-
So you won't ever do nothing big because you don't want to have
-
to depend on people or even talk to people for that sake.
-
And that's why All at Once is crushing you because you don't
-
know how to depend on people. And you take it to the next
-
level. You're depending on people and
-
the people you're depending on you're called to lead.
-
So how do you lead who you need to depend on?
-
But right, if I, if I, if, if you're a dependent, if I'm
-
dependent on you, then don't it look like you lead me?
-
No, no, no, no. Because you can't respond to my
-
need without me giving you what I'm calling to call to lead you
-
through. So I'm actually discipling you
-
for my need. OK, God's called me to plant a
-
church. I, I, I need to disciple you so
-
you can help plant this church. You, if you're a leader, you
-
need to spend time and pour into your team because you need their
-
help. But he didn't call them to lead
-
you. He called them to help you.
-
But if you can't lead them, they can't help you.
-
You're getting back what you're leading them into.
-
You're not getting See, you got to understand it takes time, it
-
takes effort, it takes sacrifice.
-
The church would not be here if Jesus didn't need 12.
-
And that's why your leadership got to go beyond instructions.
-
Jesus was frustrated not because they wouldn't listen to what he
-
said. He's like, how long do I got to
-
keep showing you how this work? See, you think you're going to
-
grow leaders by telling them how it work?
-
Increases on the rise. Blessings, blessings like wine
-
pouring off the mountains and hills.
-
Blessings. I'll make everything right
-
again. I'll receive it, he said to your
-
bloodline. Somewhere it went wrong, but I'm
-
making it right again. Addiction got in your bloodline,
-
but that wasn't my purpose, but I'm making it right again.
-
Alcoholism got in your bloodline.
-
Disease got in your bloodline. Cancer got in your bloodline,
-
but I'm making it right again. Dying young got in your
-
bloodline, but I'm restoring long life in your bloodline
-
again. I'm making everything right
-
again. I'm not just making money right
-
again. I'm making health right again.
-
I'm making sanity right again. Come on, I'm making marriage
-
right again. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm making
-
legacy right again. They they going to be anointed
-
to rebuild the ruins. I'm glad I'm I'm, I'm glad.
-
I'm anointed to rebuild, ruin stuff.
-
They're going to work their gardens.
-
They're going to eat fresh veggies and I'll plant them and
-
plant. I'm going to plant them, plant
-
them on their own land. We're heading to ownership,
-
guys. You better receive that word.
-
We're we're heading to lendership and we're getting off
-
the borrower ship. They'll never again be uprooted
-
from the land I've given them. God, your God say so increase.
-
Isaiah 54 say increase is coming, so increase is coming,
-
so increase is coming so extensions to your dwelling.
-
So he's like expand them 10 pegs as far as you could believe.
-
I don't know about y'all, but I ain't, I haven't put my stakes
-
in the ground yet for seven years.
-
I ain't put my stakes in the ground yet.
-
Look, look, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm expanding this thing.
-
Not just for me, I'm, I'm really believing God that that there
-
will not be one generation in my bloodline if Jesus don't come
-
back for 1000 years. There will not be one generation
-
from my bloodline that will experience the lack, the
-
poverty, the the depression, the anxiety that I ever did.
-
Yeah, I'm sorry for some of y'all.
-
Y'all had to go through what you've been through.
-
But if you didn't go through it, how you went through it, you
-
wouldn't be able to break it. So, so, so, so don't, don't
-
spend time complaining you went through it.
-
Celebrate. You've been anointed to break
-
it. Come on, I got 10 more minutes.
-
Y'all sat down. Sat down.
-
Sat down. But y'all stay there.
-
You know what I'm saying? Sat down, but stay there.
-
Come on. Don't sit down with them.
-
Sit down without, OK, because we going to stand up again.
-
Promise you, you will increase. You will increase.
-
These are promises. Your promise still stands.
-
Great is your faithfulness. Faithfulness.
-
I'm still in your hands. This is my confidence never
-
fail. You will increase and spread out
-
in oh man my, my increase is not one-dimensional and this is
-
here. It is T Roy here.
-
It is one of my greatest struggles with the being
-
multifaceted is I thought I could only do one thing at a
-
time. God, is this the season I can
-
put out a record or is this the season I got?
-
And sometimes it's just obvious what the season is.
-
But some of you have bound yourself down to only being able
-
to do one thing. And you have so many things you
-
can do now, you got to be wise to the distribution of your
-
gifts. But man, you wealthy people
-
ain't wealthy because they got one stream of revenue.
-
You'll, you'll increase and spread out in every direct,
-
every direction. Your son.
-
This stuff is generational. Y'all your sons and your
-
daughters will conquer nations and revitalize desolate cities.
-
So when I read this, even when I read this, I can read it as my
-
sons and daughters or I could also read it that I am one of
-
the sons and daughters that my grandma was meant and my Mama
-
was sewing for. So yes, sons and daughters, but
-
don't think that you're you're you're you're just the one
-
giving birth to you are one of the sons and daughters that is
-
anointed to conquer nations and revitalize desolate cities.
-
God didn't put us right here, city center, right here just to
-
be normal. What we right here?
-
Somebody gave us a word from the island the other day, a little
-
bit of it. They had a vision that we were,
-
we were in a Davidic house. We we know of that.
-
But but these, these, these, these, these, these towers going
-
up around us is Goliaths, right? And they see us as a David in
-
this community and, and, and, and our worship and the word
-
that's coming out of this house are stones.
-
And when you understand these families, man, I was driving
-
around, it's it's pretty mind boggling to have this space
-
right here. But without the sound, this
-
placement wouldn't make sense. He said came out.
-
It's it's coming up in a second. Like the like your shame is no
-
more. That means if there's no shame,
-
there's no insecurity, there's no orphan spirit.
-
Come on next slide for your shame is no more for your, your
-
shame is no more like like God is removing us from what has
-
shamed our family. Can I talk to somebody right?
-
It's not about you, it's your it's your family name that has
-
shame connected to it. Single parent, household,
-
poverty, abuse, addiction. No, God is removing the shame
-
out of your bloodline. Hey, hey.
-
It's a it's unfortunate. Oh, it's unfortunate what your
-
family has had to go through. Up to you.
-
I'm going to say it again. I can.
-
I'm going to say it again. It's a shame what your family
-
has to go through. Up to you.
-
You are the point that shame ends.
-
No more, somebody shout out. No more Do do not be embarrassed
-
for. For you will not be disgraced.
-
You will. For you will forget the
-
inadequacy. You will forget you, you they
-
have a car in your face. You will forget that you have to
-
settle for poking beans. You will forget that you have to
-
take care of yo Mama or you have to take care of yo daddy.
-
You will forget the lack you experience.
-
You will forget that you have to go in debt to even increase your
-
chances. You will forget like, like
-
there's a forgetfulness, a supernatural, a divine
-
forgetfulness that is going to come up on you 'cause God is
-
removing you so far. You, you, right?
-
Yeah, you, you are going to forget about the emotional abuse
-
you have to endure because there will be no remnant of your
-
emotional abuse, because all you're going to be able to give
-
your kids is love. When God says you will forget,
-
he's telling you He's even taking the traces away.
-
Devil can't find them. You can't find them.
-
There will be no DNA of poverty in your bloodline.
-
The Lord is literally through his blood changing the DNA of
-
your bloodline that demons will not be able to get the same.
-
Read on your family, some of you.
-
The enemy has been able to get generation after generation
-
after generation through anger and depression in your
-
bloodline. And then that anger and
-
depression led to alcoholism, it LED to addiction, it LED to
-
depression, it LED to severe chronic anxiety.
-
It led to, to, to all kinds of things.
-
But see if you can remove the roots out the bloodline.
-
This is why your struggle has been so intense 'cause God is
-
doing an absolute like, like, like he's obliterating every
-
sign. God is really doing an entire
-
new thing in your bloodline and you've just been wanting a
-
little breakthrough here, a little breakthrough there.
-
Look, God's like this breakthrough is generate like,
-
like, forget the money. Forget that we going to get to
-
the money. But I needed what's coming out
-
of you to the next generation to be purified.
-
You will not pass on depression. You will not pass on anxiety.
-
You will not pass on poverty mindset like like you got to
-
stop passing it on. I'm removing the traces like
-
your root system got to be strong for increase or your
-
increase is minimal. And these trees in our backyard,
-
they so big strong winds come and it and everything on the
-
tree is falling off, but the tree ain't.
-
Take my money, take my house, take my car, take this, He said.
-
Go ahead. Take it from job.
-
But job job's still standing. Take it, take it, take it, take
-
it, take it. But I'm still standing.
-
Take it, take it, take it. But I still got my piece intact.
-
God wants every believer to walk in the fullness of their
-
prosperity, not just taste and see prosperity walk in it and
-
supernaturally close the wealth gap.
-
So when they like this, did anime get a car given to her?
-
Absolutely. Because he's changing things.
-
How you have to get a car and how I'm going to have to get a
-
car and I'm not going to feel bad for it.
-
I'm not apologizing for my favor, right?
-
When they're looking at how blessed you are, look at them
-
and say you wanted our family to be healed, right?
-
This is what wholeness looks like.
-
He says when the righteous are in authority and become great.
-
EJ, you see this when the righteous are in authority.
-
Let me help you. Poverty is never in authority,
-
not in here. Here's how I know.
-
He's talking about the, the, the out here.
-
He says when the righteous are in authority and become great,
-
the people rejoice. It is say the Christians
-
rejoice, the city rejoice because when wealth is in our
-
hands and influence and impact and movie, movie and music
-
studios and gyms went with cafes.
-
When we are running the block, when we are essential, the city
-
rejoices. But but when the wicked man
-
rules, how does the wicked man rule?
-
Wealth, resources. The people grown inside.
-
You won't know why the world has grown in inside, because the
-
wicked are in in authority. No, they're not.
-
Jesus is. Yeah, Jesus is in authority.
-
But are you? Are you walking in authority?
-
Are you walking in dominion or you settle?
-
No. When the righteous are in
-
authority and become great, Are you great right now?
-
No. I know you're blessed.
-
I know you're highly favored. Are you great?
-
Are you whole? And in the midst of your
-
transformation, your family got to adjust to you.
-
So they're not going to rejoice over your greatness right away.
-
So you can't look to your family to rejoice first.
-
So you can't let their lack of excitement cause you to conform
-
to the level of their revelation.
-
No, your revelation going. One day God going to remove the
-
scales from your eyes, and you're going to see who I am.
-
But I don't got time to wait for you to see who I am.
-
Everyone rejoices when lovers of God flourish, but the people
-
groan when the wicked rise to power.
-
I'm going to ramble off a few more.
-
God himself will fill you with more blessings upon blessing
-
will heaped will be heaped, heaped.
-
Like, like you make a mess with something.
-
When you got a heaping spoon, something is going to fall off
-
on the heap. It's supposed to spill over your
-
joy. You're supposed to have so much
-
joy. It spills over so much hope.
-
It spills over heaped upon you and upon your children.
-
Are your children inheriting joy or worry from the Maker of
-
heaven and earth, the very God who made you?
-
Look at Job, Look at joby Job. Look at Job.
-
And though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would
-
greatly increase. Can I talk to somebody He had?
-
No, no, where you started will not be where you finish.
-
Somebody say greatly increase, Zechariah says.
-
But now in this period, since you begin to build, since you
-
begin to build, since you begin to build, God asked us to begin
-
to build. God asked us that we don't have
-
to worry about how it's going to finish.
-
Ain't my responsibility, He said, just start building.
-
I am not to the remnant of this people as in the former days,
-
says the Lord of hosts. Look for this remnant.
-
There shall the seed produce peace and prosperity, the vine
-
shall yield her fruit, and the ground shall give its increase,
-
and the heavens shall give their due.
-
And I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit and
-
possess all the You hear what God said, I'm going to cause it
-
to come. It's why the greatest thing you
-
can do and the greatest challenges you're going to have
-
is to stand, because what God is doing is His doing for out of
-
His fullness. Can I just read the Bible?
-
For out of His fullness, out of His abundance, we have all
-
received, all had a share, and we were all supplied Genesis one
-
with one grace after another and spiritual blessing of both
-
spiritual blessing and even favour upon favour and gift.
-
Heed upon gift. He will do it.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen it with my own eyes.
-
He will do it. I've seen it with my own eyes.
-
He is doing it and I've seen it with my own eyes.
-
He has already done it. Look, look, look, look, look,
-
look, look, look for the haters own.
-
So you're not moved by people hating on prosperity?
-
He takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
-
I've seen it with my own eyes. My God loves to increase me.
-
Prosperity, flourishing, proliferation, boom. well-being,
-
growth, love, quest. We will never back down.
-
We're supposed to be a boom. There's not enough boom in the
-
surf in the church. Come on, we the boom.
-
Somebody say boom. Prosperity, Success.
-
Successfulness. Luck.
-
Prosperity triumph, it claps continued success to thrive,
-
grow, flourish and continues and to have the wealth and good
-
fortune. Look, look, look at look at what
-
Psalm I'm just booming right now.
-
Psalm one, look at what he says. Now you ready for this?
-
He says because you thrill, love, question God's word.
-
Your tree replanted and eaten, burying fresh fruit every month.
-
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never drop
-
it. As long as I got leaves on the
-
trees, I got fruit to bear. So if I'm never losing leaves,
-
I'm never without fruit. So so my wife said, hey mate,
-
the other day she said I got some revelation.
-
She said like being fruitful in every season.
-
Do you notice there's a fruit for every season?
-
So orange, oranges may be out of season, but in this season.
-
So see what you want is Kiwis every season.
-
No, he said fruits every season. I'm glad I ain't just bound the
-
Kiwi because when Kiwi out of season, I don't have no fruit.
-
Oh, expand your mind. Are you ready for God's fruit?
-
If you are, there is never a season you'll go without it
-
every season of life, because you're deeply rooted, never dry,
-
never fainting, ever bless. You know it's you know it's long
-
when you take the foe off. Ever, ever prosperous, Never try
-
never fainting. I want y'all to see the people
-
that's like, oh, you're going to get burned out.
-
Never fainting. But why?
-
Because I'm I'm, I'm rooted in the bliss.
-
Before you declare burnout over me, look at my roots.
-
Never try never fainting. Ever blessed, ever prosperous.
-
How do I know this? I'll close with this because the
-
Lord is my shepherd. The Lord will feed me so I'm
-
never dry, always nourished like my kids.
-
My kids like if they starving today, it's because they can
-
make their own decisions when they eat, they can make their
-
own food and sometimes they can go starving because Mama ain't
-
making no food, but they ain't starving because we don't got no
-
food. But when they babies like we
-
supposed to be childlike, it is own daddy to feed us.
-
So, so I'm I'm responsible to do what he fed me for how God
-
anointed Jesus and how he went about doing.
-
I'm not responsible to anoint me.
-
I'm responsible to do what the anointing was given to me for.
-
So the Lord is my shepherd. So I can go in the valley of the
-
shadow of death, but guess what? He'll shield me.
-
How are you so confident? Because the Lord is my shepherd,
-
I shall not lack he makes me lie down.
-
It's not like boy, lay down like like like my Mama did me that
-
way. Sometime you better sit lay
-
down, right. I've done that a couple times.
-
Like like you ever have you ever have a baby?
-
Like when they when they when they screaming and screaming and
-
screaming and they won't stop screaming and you, you haven't
-
got no sleep. You know that that have you ever
-
crossed over to that place and you kind of like like baby, just
-
like chill. You like squeeze them just a
-
little harder. You'll you'll have kids one day.
-
You'll you'll know that squeeze when I'm talking about it where
-
can't nobody tell you did nothing but you squeeze them a
-
little harder. They're like and people looking
-
at you like not what you thought.
-
I ain't did nothing. All right.
-
I shall not lack. Here it is.
-
He makes me meaning you ready. Some of the things you've called
-
interruptions have been God trying to lead you to peace and
-
you mad that you mad that boy don't want to be with you no
-
more because God saw that it was going to steal your peace.
-
He makes you So what they unfollowed you.
-
He's making you So what they won't call you.
-
He's protecting your peace. He makes me lie down fresh,
-
tender green pastures. He leads me beside the steal the
-
restful waters. Peace for me is on His mind.
-
He refreshes and restores my life.
-
He leads me in the paths of righteousness.
-
You see this? Why does He do it?
-
For His namesake. For His glory.
-
It ain't about you. This is why I'm confident,
-
because His glory is more more important than my than people
-
liking me. You see how bigger that is?
-
You want to be blessed so people can like you.
-
But boy, when your motive to be blessed is so He can get glory,
-
that's the business he's in. Not for my earning it.
-
Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
-
will fear or dread no evil, for you are with me, your rod to
-
protect, your staff to guide. They comfort me and those that
-
are trying to escape their family and their enemies.
-
You know why he hasn't broken you free from them, that wild
-
place. Because he you prepare a table
-
before me in the presence you ready.
-
He did not prepare a table before the enemy.
-
He prepared the table before you in the presence of your enemy.
-
So your eyes are not to be on the enemy is supposed to be on
-
the table. Your eyes is not supposed to be
-
on the lack. It's supposed to be on the
-
abundance on the table. You anoint my head with oil and
-
my cup. Here it is again.
-
It runs over increase. Surely only goodness, mercy and
-
unfailing love shall follow me. Not for a month, not just in
-
2023. All the days of my life and
-
through the length of my days, the House of the Lord and His
-
presence shall be. The House of the Lord shall be.
-
The House of the Lord. You, some of you, every now and
-
then, church attendees, the House of the Lord for all my
-
days shall be. I shall make a habit.
-
It shall be in my routine to get in the House of the Lord.
-
It will be my dwelling place. Restoration is on his mind.
-
Recompense is on his mind. Healing is on his mind.
-
Wholeness is on his mind. I'm going to say it again.
-
Wholeness is on his mind. Healing is on his mind.
-
Recompense is on his mind and restoration is on his mind.
-
Increase is on his mind. Come on, lift your hands in the
-
name of Jesus household. Salvation is on his mind.
-
Come on you call it out what you believe in.
-
Your spirit is on his mind. Your wholeness is on his mind.
-
Your business thriving is on His mind.
-
Come on, healthy relationships for you is on His mind.
-
Come on, peace is on His mind for you.
-
Come on it's on his mind and whatever's on his mind should be
-
on your mind. I want it.
-
I want it to end this service with a bit like like 15, but it
-
was it was roughly about 12 minutes ago with a bang when
-
y'all was like whoa, come on PT like like why?
-
Why is this important? Because we, we, we got to grab a
-
hold of this. We can't just before it gets
-
rooted in our souls. And moments like this help you
-
get it rooted. Like get it on your tongue.
-
He's strong enough and big enough to take what was on your
-
mind and take it and put what was on his mind.
-
He can bequeath. Lift your hands right now, Lord,
-
what's on your mind for me? The first thing He's going to
-
say is you. So do not wait to hear Him say
-
your business prospering. No, first thing He going to say
-
is you, your soul health, your soul wealth.
-
And that should bring joy to you, that the first thing on the
-
Creator's mind is you. I'm glad when I asked that
-
question God didn't say a new car.
-
I'm on his mind, my family prospering on his mind, My
-
children is on his mind. My Mama is on his mind.
-
Everything that pertains to life and godliness is on his mind for
-
me. Healthy births, healthy
-
marriage, healthy children, healthy mindset.
-
Hope is on his mind, faith is on his mind, joy is on his mind,
-
long-suffering is on his mind, patience is on his mind.
-
And right now just submit whatever you was worried about
-
and then don't put it back on. Because during this word some
-
things was removed, some burdens was removed.
-
Lay your daddy on the altar, lay your Mama on the altar, lay your
-
sister on the altar and leave them there.
-
God's shoulders is bigger than yours.
-
And now you don't just lay something down, pick something
-
up. Pick up your joy, pick up your
-
peace. We lay our burdens down right
-
now in Jesus name. Come on, come on, come on
-
intercession. We lay our burdens down right
-
now in Jesus name. We lay our fears down.
-
We lay it down. I say ashes to ashes, dust to
-
dust to my old man in Jesus name.
-
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust to fear.
-
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust to depression.
-
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust to anxiety.
-
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust to sabotage.
-
It's done, It's finished, it's well with my soul.
-
Come on, if you receive it and believe it, give God a big old
-
round of applause. Come on, come on, come on.
-
If you want my heart, you got it.
-
You got it. You got it, you got it.
-
You got it in your own heart. You got, you got it.
-
You got it in your own heart. You got it.
-
You got it. You got it.
-
You got it. You got it.
-
You got it. You got it.
-
You got it. You got it, You got it.
-
You got you got everything. We is in in your present for
-
everything we eat is in in your present everything we eat.
-
You stand to your feet. The.
-
Meet every need. Meet every need, a stone.
-
Meet every broken heart and every bird.
-
Eat your plans. Eat.
-
Restore what has been started. Speak is to every soul.
-
Let there be free. No plans keep everything broken
-
heart is every time in your present tea life.
-
Restore what has been sawed. We be so every song, everywhere
-
we breathe in your present tea life.
-
Come on, say thank you Lord. Hallelujah, beautiful parties.
-
We get to come back and be together again for the finale.
-
And if you have not come to the production somewhere in your
-
life, you're deceived. I don't, I don't know what's
-
going on, but I am. I am telling everyone here, if
-
you're coming tonight and you're not a part of the team, the
-
serving team, get here early, OK?
-
And what we're asking is we're asking, I'm saying this out loud
-
because we didn't do a good job at this last night, is if your
-
kids are in the program, do not sit in here because when your
-
kids go up, you leave vacant seats that we could have let
-
other people. We want to host our guests, so
-
don't you come in here, that's here all the time and take up
-
these seats and our guests got to sit in the back, OK?
-
It won't always be like this, but let's let's love on our
-
guests, but get here early. And also, if this is your house,
-
be the example of what it looks like to sit down on time.
-
OK, God's doing an amazing thing in this production.
-
And so we're believing for souls.
-
I know it's people coming tonight that aren't believers
-
that don't go to church. I've had multiple people come up
-
to me excited that their family coming to church for the first
-
time. Like, this ain't a game.
-
Last night I texted a couple people that there was warfare
-
going on through the production. I discerned it and I was like,
-
we got to pray. We have to go to the back,
-
straighten out the team and there's just a level of push
-
through. We have to.
-
It's these spiritual things you got to discern.
-
But I also think some of that is the part of who shows up, right?
-
People bring spirits. Devil will walk up in the church
-
to try to disrupt some stuff. And we have eyes to see in this
-
climate. The devil can't hide.
-
OK, so let the demons come in tonight.
-
They going to go running again, but it's going to happen because
-
you're going to come in here prayed up and you're going to
-
come in here interceding during the production.
-
I need you in your seat, not just entertained, but
-
interceding because the devil is mad as hell.
-
Amen. All right, you got something to
-
say, Julia. All right, Pastor Julia, I wish
-
I could be like you. I wish I could be like you.
-
Amen. Put your hand on your neighbors
-
shoulders. Say we always pray.
-
Is this something I'm supposed to announce?
-
Oh. So.
-
So next, next Sunday. Next.
-
Tell your neighbor. Get your hands off me.
-
All right, Now, look, next, next, next Sunday is the 22nd.
-
I I do have to. What is next Sunday?
-
Thank you. Thank you.
-
Next week is the victory seed. Yeah.
-
So next week we're all bringing a massive offering.
-
The listen, the goal is $100,000.
-
We need 340. OK.
-
Now if somebody want to go over above and beyond, like bring it
-
on for this part, we need 340. So next year after we raised the
-
340 or this year after we raised the 340, before this year is
-
out, I'm believing for 340. Before this year, I'm believing
-
to walk up here New Year's Eve and be like we got the 340.
-
So at the top of the year we're going to be raising one more
-
$500,000. And what is that for?
-
It's not to get in the building. It is to finish this building.
-
It is to finish the multimedia center and it is to furnish all
-
three spaces. Got that but we need 340 to
-
close this thing out. I am believing next Sunday 100
-
minimum but I am my faith is at 3:40 next Sunday.
-
I'm believing for 100 of the 340 by New Year's Eve.
-
What am I believing for 500? Y'all like come on man.
-
So next week I don't care don't if you all I got is $5.
-
I didn't ask you what you have, I asked what you're believing
-
for. So all y'all students that think
-
you're going to get well off by just getting a diploma and
-
you're going to be a sower and you're not, you're going to
-
break that student poverty mentality and you're going to
-
one day pay for people's tuition.
-
All right. And then Christmas Eve 1030, see
-
he coming. And then New Year's Eve
-
experience. Bring your family and friends
-
out. It's going to be turned up.
-
OK, Black and Gray is the base. Skittles colors is what we going
-
for. Come having fun.
-
OK, and the focus is going to be the shoes.
-
They could be dress shoes or tennis shoes.
-
OK, y'all got that? All right, come having fun.
-
We're going to have a red carpet or some color carpet and we're
-
going to take photos and all that.
-
OK we got one more game for round ball before the break.
-
We had a brutal match the other night.
-
Your pastor was just, you get what I'm saying, a dog, right?
-
And we had 12 people from Love Quest that came that cheered for
-
y'all. We used to have about 60 to 75
-
come. So can we get at least 15 more
-
people to come? It's fun.
-
You get to see the elders act a fool.
-
So I want to see you Friday night.
-
We pay, we play one of our rivals.
-
We actually really love them. And it's Pizza Factory, right?
-
And y'all should have been there Friday because we played the
-
Blue Devils and it was warfare. Now put your hand on your
-
neighbor's shoulder. I got here.
-
I'm good. I'm good.
-
All right. Tell your neighbor we pray.
-
The pastor preached, We declared, we prophesied.
-
Ain't nothing else to pray about.
-
If you haven't received nothing by now, that is your problem,
-
not mines. So I'll see you later.
-
Until next time, you know what it is.
-
