Garrison (Wonder Wednesday) - 11.27.2024 (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.

Ever since that hit us on Sunday, I stayed distracted by

you. You have my attention all week.

I've just been. You have my attention.

It's powerful. What those few words do.

I don't take for granted when God just soups on down and and

put some words in my mouth. Have somebody ever put words in

your mouth? And have you ever taken somebody

else's words? When God shows up and he gives

the house some words, it's for you to put in your mouth and

repeat. So all week I've just been you

have my attention. I lay down that night super

simple. How, you know, say something

like you get on my nerves or you have my attention a whole lot

more fruitful now I'm in this pretty in a place.

I'm just in a place of I feel growing and growth and maturity

and understanding and revelation and I'm I'm.

Where you go? Where y'all go?

Oh OK, OK, I'm transforming, right?

That's some people like it's not deep.

I'm I'm heading back to the garden, like I'm transforming

and I'm becoming more and more of who he made me to be.

That's humbling, that's exciting.

That causes some trembling in your life because as you get

closer and closer, it's no different than the bride getting

closer and closer to the groom and the groom bride is getting

closer and closer. There's some trembling in a

wedding as you as you get closer and closer to home.

There's a tenderness of heart. There's a when you can live a

life where you're not insulated by walls.

When you when you can live a life where you can be tender and

still be OK with feeling, and then when you can get to a place

where I think what he made us to.

And this is my, this is my heart's desire before I leave

this earth. I was driving here and I felt

this spirit of the Father say one of the greatest, if not the

greatest shame in humanity is to live your entire life and never

experienced the love of God. And no one on this earth could

ever say there wasn't a day where God did not try to touch

them. So I just, I'm at a place where

I, I don't want to have to be on my deathbed or sick or dealing

with tragedy to have no choice but to cry out to the Lord, have

no choice. But I just want to live a life

of pursuing him. And like Enoch, like I really

desire to walk with the Lord. I've heard about Smith

Wigglesworth. I've heard about great men and

women of God who walk with the Lord.

And I'm like, that can't just be a past thing.

Like where's the men and women that actually are like man,

nothing else. I just I want to walk with God,

not just know God. And in that thought on the way

here, he says, Son, you're you, you.

I I anointed you to lead people to my presence, not merely lead

people to a knowledge of me right.

Discipleship is not merely about teaching about.

Jesus. It's about living a life that

leads people to Jesus. Right because there there is

people with the knowledge of him with their lips.

They serve him hearts far from him.

I feel like love quest. We're heading into this place

and I think there's other bodies and remnants across the world

that are just like God's going to be.

I, I, I was supposed to do this. EJ, you can come up here real

quick. I got this picture here in the

car and I'll just start weeping on the way here.

I just got this picture. It's not a prophetic word for

you, but if it's something in it for you, then Amen.

But I just saw this picture and he says, you know, a lot of my

children have been close to me. You know, you could be close to

God like this. He's God.

He's God. You could be close to God like

this. You could be close to God like

this, you know, he could talk to you like this and you can hear

him. He said where I'm calling my

children, any child that chooses to turn their lives towards me,

I'm going to be right here. God said he's yearning for

people that want to be face to face with him, no longer

satisfied with just walking with him.

And a lot of people have been walking around him.

But for those who choose to do whatever it takes in their life

to strip away anything that's in the way from this, there's no

way to truly walk in the fear of God without living face to face.

Thank you, Sir. And that's it just kind of broke

me in the car because I'm like, he's still speaking to me.

That's how it started. Troy, out of all creation, the

Bible says that God came down and he blew in man's nostrils.

See, we're not we're not redeemed to just get back around

God. He's calling us face to face.

There's a level of intimacy that he is drawing us to.

Somebody gave me a word, sent me a word all the way from the

Bahamas a couple weeks ago, I think it was, and it said

revival. All that God said is coming.

It's coming. But revival in this house is

about to go to another level. But the revival you're going to

see is a revival of prayer. Now, what that sees, what that

says is there's going to be a supernatural yearning for

prayer. I'm talking about some of you

who don't like praying, some of you who want to pray and you

don't mind praying, but you want the feelings to go with it,

right? You want to kind of be empowered

to pray there. There's about to be a revival of

prayer. It's going to show up in our

prayer calls. It's going to show up in our

prayer meetings. It's not, you're not going to

come and be like I've been praying more.

If you've been praying more, it's going to cause you to want

to be about around other people that pray.

Hallelujah, you have my phone. I wrote something down that I

no, I think I remember it. And the last thing, whoever this

is for before I dive into the word, the Lord just desires from

you what he gave you. What did he give you?

Talk to me, huh? Love Now, now, now.

He. He gave his only for God.

So love the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

But that was an expression of how much He loves us.

All He wants back from you is love.

He just desires this relationship and it's not about

you getting something from him and it's not about him getting

something to you. Just like a pure desire to just

want to be back in the garden. Father, I ask that you speak to

your children tonight. Anoint me to speak how you need

me to speak cadences. You need me to speak in the the

tones. You need me to speak in the

humor. You need me to speak in

seriousness. You need me to speak in.

I declare for sure I'm anointed to deliver your word now.

I pray that we are also anointed to hear your word.

I pray we do not take this moment to sit at your feet and

hear from you for granted, but we posture our hearts and our

spirits in a way that we are clinging to your Him, asking for

the Word to touch us. Deep in our inner man, reaching

past our ears, leaping straight into our hearts where we need

transformation, we cling to your hymn.

Word. Cling to the hymn of the Word.

Cling to the hymn of the Word the same way that the Word

touched the woman with the issue of blood.

I pray we pull something, we extract something from the Word

that will make us whole. Jesus name come against the

spirit of error. If there's any error spoken,

Holy Spirit have full permission to quicken to interrupt stop.

But we say Holy Spirit flow in this place.

I won't lift your hands right where you are.

Your cold happen when you move. None.

Heaven is here now. Garrison.

Garrison, the protector of my soul.

So we've been talking about on Sundays, we've been talking

about come back now deception and a few things that's been

said around deception is, is an anxious soul is prime real

estate for deception. A distracted soul is prime real

estate for deception. A nervous soul is prime real

estate, a depressed soul prime real estate.

And it should not be so that the body of Christ is as anxious, as

angry, as divorced, as stressed out as the world.

Especially when we tell them we have the answer.

It can't look like the only thing God has answered is our

financial issues. And this is like a key to the

Kingdom that we talk about once a year.

Christmas Prince of Peace don't have no revelation of this

peace. Or we would walk in it, Garrison

the protector of my soul, and we talk about deception, how dark

the times are getting right. If, if there's going to be false

prophets on the rise, as a church, it would benefit us to

identify the called prophets by God.

Because if all we know is the false one that is performing

signs and wonders, no wonder we're going to or the elect is

going to drift when the Bible's warning us like the elect is

going to walk away from the faith.

If you consider yourself an elect, do not be like Peter and

say, no, that ain't me. I'm exempt.

Peter didn't believe he would deny Jesus.

But what under pressure, his untamed flesh caused him to deny

Jesus Untamed flesh? His anxiety, his fear, He was

shook. So then I come on Wednesday and

we're going to talk about how we're living a deception free

life. How many people?

I don't know about you, but I've been deceived enough.

I don't really need it anymore, right?

Like I'm, I'm kind of like over being deceived.

I've been deceived and a lot of my deception have been by my.

Hand. So I, I don't want to go into

the next years of my life and still live at the same emotional

level. I need my eyes open.

I need my eyes focused. And you know, if you listen

close enough to the world, the devil has the world always in

imitation. So when you listen to new slang

words, it's a key that God's calling us to something.

Devil's going to say it audibly. Church got to get in a secret

place. Words like I woke.

Just think of some of the trendy statements the world has come up

with, say, over the last 10 years and I'm woke has been like

last five years or so. Why is he?

Why is that in the music? Why is that a part of culture?

Now I'm woke because I know there's a point where God is

calling his church to wake up Isaiah 60.

So if I can push forward an imitation woke.

So now you woke based off of knowledge you woke off of Oh,

you ain't going to get me. Now you not going to get oh you

woke because you ain't going to let let another man get over on

you. We're woke for all these worldly

things, not understanding that in the background the enemy is

setting some stuff up that's going to cause a lot of woke

people to go to sleep. Night, night.

So we're here tonight in person at home.

And I left off last week with this statement.

It really is all in if you really want all did.

I like playing words, don't care if that's proper English or not.

I wrote it. And it goes a little something

like this. It really is all in if you

really want. All did.

All in is our part. All did was Jesus part.

And we have been walking this walk thinking we can get the

benefits, we can get the salvation bag without being all

in when the only way we got salvation all in was sold,

SOWED. You and I are only here because

someone gave their all and his expectation no different than

when you give a seed. You're expecting what you gave

at minimum back. But we are walking around.

First of all, we have made salvation all about the

afterlife. Can I talk to you?

Christians in here. Or or considering being

Christians in here. We've made salvation all about a

hope for after. Rarely have we put our hope in

is all our hope is to come. And he's like.

Y'all tripping. It really is all in if you

really want all did and we can look throughout the Bible and

see God's like hey, I'm about to do all this.

I'm about to go all in for you. I'm about to.

I'm about to split the sea for you.

And I'm about to close the sea for you.

I'm about to swallow up your enemies.

All I'm asking you to do is don't forget me.

Hallelujah. Let's look at some dead John 14

now. I really need y'all all in

tonight. I need your posture.

I need you in a receiving posture because I want to try

and find a rhythm to get to some later stuff and I got a lot of

slides and we'll see. Peace I'll leave with you.

I had to pause on this today because you know, we can be like

peace. I left you and somehow this

picture is like like like he like left it over there

somewhere. Sorry, he left it over there

somewhere right? He left peace over there called

us over here, though. It's it's almost like he Easter

egg hunt in peace and we how much time you praying like Lord

give me peace. He's like man my hand strapped.

I left it with you. Where'd you put it?

Can I can I talk to somebody You can find peace wherever you left

it. Can I talk to somebody here

online? Can you type some a man's Can

you talk some where did it go and can you type where did it go

in the comments? Where did it go?

And he's like, go back and get it peace.

I leave what? With you.

But here's the crazy part is I understand as a, as a, as a, as

a New Testament believer. That's why I wrote in a little

tiny words, partially so I can remember.

But peace I left in you. I I almost rather him have left

it somewhere other than in me because at least I got a reason

to wait on the Lord peace I left where in you say send me come on

out with super trash say send me peace I leave with you.

That's all did. So if I take this this kind of

like proverb that I wrote, then it means if I want all did, then

I got to figure out what the all in part is.

If I want all did peace. I can't expect this piece he

left in me if I keep putting stuff on top of it.

Have you ever not now listen, maybe this is a me problem, but

have you ever bought something after a while, not that you

forgot it. You, you, you forgot it because

it was tucked away somewhere? You ever come back across it and

you like what? Or somebody saw it and was like,

hey, you like give me that. You can't have that.

But you haven't wore it. You haven't.

You haven't thought about it. You haven't even thought about

it, but here it is. It was tucked away.

You had other stuff in front of it.

You had other stuff on it. You had other stuff around it.

And then you got mad because somebody.

Else discovered it. Am I talking to people here or I

got to talk to this camera over here?

You got you mad that somebody else.

It's like my wife on the on the on the front of the boat.

I can't, I can't be mad at you because you found peace on the

front of the boat in the middle of the ocean, but you can't be

mad at me that I found peace right here on this step.

Hey, wherever your peace is, you got to get there.

I mean, I'm, I'm so preaching and we haven't even gotten past

this. He said peace I leave with you

or peace I left in you by way of the Holy Ghost.

You see why there's such a fight of the Holy Ghost?

My own is is is it my own peace I now give and bequeath none of

your money. Maybe 2 of y'all know what

bequeath mean. You waiting on me.

You waiting on me here, here it is some of y'all.

I didn't read this scripture for many times and with bequeath in

it. Bequeath ain't just presented

itself. You forgot this bequeath is.

Let me take your sorrow and I'm going to give you my joy.

What he says is what's on me. I'm going to put it on you and

what's on you? I'm going to put it on me.

Can can I get a few people to say Amen and stop looking at me

like we in a lecture hall or something?

This is not class OK. This is in.

Part A moment this is an impartation lab.

OK, this is for you. You can't talk about peace and

peace not be activated and imparted.

So your expectation can't be teach me by peace up here.

No, your expectation is Lord I need some peace.

And if you got peace, guess what you need MO peace.

I I now I I now give. I bequeath to you not as the

world that your peace ain't every two weeks.

Your peace is not Saturday and Sunday when you off work.

Your peace is not when it's only sunny.

Your peace is not when people affirm you.

Your peace is not when you got money.

Your peace is not when all the bills paid or all the bills not

paid. Your peace is not when you can

eat at, eat in luxury and and dress in like.

Your peace is not when you can get all your needs or desires

met. There's my peace and there's the

world's peace. Not as the world gives do I give

to you. It's not only the type of peace,

it's also how I give it to you. I don't give it to you how the

world give it to you. In other words, you don't got to

earn this. I gave it to you before you even

knew this scripture was here. I gave it to you before you had

a church home. I gave it to you before you stop

watching porn. I gave it to you.

You want to put porn on top of this piece, That's on you.

But you ain't going to never get to heaven and say where the

peace go. He going to be like, well, let

me show you real quick. Did you want to come at me like

that? I think Jesus going to do

something that what do you want to come at me like that?

Let me just show you all the stuff I saved you from.

Let me show you what could have happened.

Let me show you what you really deserved.

Let let me show you that that secured that heavenly security

video of that person that was at your house while you and your

family were asleep, ready to blow your head off and I caused

an interruption. You just woke up that next day.

I was like, Hallelujah, you have my attention.

Yeah, but you was about to have a grave too.

There's so much stuff that you don't see or know that's at you

trying to kill you and take you out.

Not as this world gives do I give to you.

So he says, do not let your fault if it's happening.

God's like you. You've made it out to be.

I gave you peace and I'm stressing you out.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

Somebody shout out responsibility for myself.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

You can't ask. Your wife to be.

Babe, help me chill out. No, no, no, no.

Hey, babe, can you stop doing that?

Because every time you do that, it's stirred my nerves up.

No, right now, when you just told him or her that it's

stirring you up. You're stirring you up.

Your mouth stirring you up. Your imagination stirring you

up. Your insecurity stirring you up.

Your your your fear is stirring you up.

Your short temper. You ready?

Your bondage is stirring you up. You just married somebody that

God is going to allow to push the button so we can expose it.

Do not let your hearts be troubled neither let them be

afraid. See this is all I'm saying.

The folks that's call it Christians that's bored

Christians that act like they ain't got nothing to do.

You know how hard you you guard your peace.

Let's see how let's see you guys know you keep the Christian

that's keep filling a schedule. How many things go on your

calendar that's steal your peace?

Why you keep booking it? How many how many people in your

phone book call you? And when you see their number,

you like Oh my. God.

You do that first and then you answer and say, hey, how you

doing? None.

And then they asked you got a minute to talk.

You're like, absolutely. Instead of saying what?

Nah, not right now, man. I've learned there's some people

you got to answer the phone for. So this is how I hit them.

Hey, how you doing? Hold up, hold up, hold up.

I only got a few minutes. I got something to do, so just

go ahead and and then yeah. So then in a few minutes and

then you got set the alarm so it go off in the background.

I got to go. OK Or the other option is you

sit on the phone doing work. Uh huh.

Yep. And if you had that friend, how

I've done some people, sometimes I would say, what did I just

say? And then that part that dishonor

you sow because you don't want upfront to offend somebody.

So now your fear has caused you to do something ungodly.

Not understanding, being honest and saying I don't got time

right now is more godly. And some of you if you told them

you didn't have time right now, then their frustrations or

insecurities or issues with abandonment and neglect, guess

what that would do? Give God an opportunity to heal

them. Peace I leave in you next.

Hallelujah. I was doing these slides.

I'm like, ain't no way. I'm about to get the slide 48.

Ain't no way. Stop allowing yourselves to be

agitated. Oh my God then get on my nerves.

Hey this is so crazy though. But every time you get around

them they get on your nerves. Who is the problem?

You. You didn't.

You didn't. Like on the way in the car, just

be like I'm about to get my mind right and ain't no way I'm about

to walk in the room and another day they about to get on my

nerves. It's like your spouse want to

watch that TV. Show why are you still tripping

that they like that TV show? That's your fault, right?

That's what that they hey, they just they they they just pick

their toes or they just crunch when they eat, they smack when

they eat. They like three years later, if

they still smacking and you still agitated, that ain't they

fault because guess what? They was smacking for 30 years

before you got with them and you think you about to stop a 30

year smacker in 30 days somebody look at their neighbors say why

you so agitated what but but here's the part I like do do not

permit how long how long you going to give yourself

permission to be agitated. Talk to me somebody.

This is the part. As long as somebody give you a

reason, then that's your argument.

I am agitated because you didn't put that away.

I am agitated because XY and Z like why are you agitated?

You gave yourself permission. So if I can give myself

permission to be agitated, I can't give myself permission to

have peace. Am I?

Can I? Can I?

Is this. Why don't you give yourself the

same permission to be agitated? Is the same permission to what?

Have peace? Stop giving yourself permission

to be fearful. Permission.

How do you give yourself permission to be intimidated?

Oh, they bigger than me. Oh, they resume.

They got more experience than me.

Oh, they sing better than me. Oh, they they've been in

ministry longer than me. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The only permission I need is the anointing.

I don't care if you've been in Ministry 40.

Years. If God's called me here, then I

belong. But you look at your resume.

Yeah, I don't belong. Yeah, no one in my family ever.

Did that. So whatever the reason you give

yourself. You allow yourself to be.

Agitated while I was raised like this.

What? Here, Here it is.

Well, somebody mistreated me, so I actually and God understands.

So what we want is God to heal us instead of us changing our

permission slip. What if your healing was?

In changing your permission slip because what you want is peace.

But then he said I left it. Where did he leave it in?

You. Guess what else is in you?

Agitation. You see which one you picked up?

You ready? Never forget this.

If you don't get nothing else tonight, both options are there.

Both options. Are in you?

Do you not yourself? To be fearful and intimidated

and cowardly and unsettled. So.

So what this tells me, Elder John, is there are some.

Things in my life. Where give me a smart way to say

this Holy Spirit? Like a really cool way to say

this. There are some things.

I want to read this and do not permit yourself to be fearful,

intimidated, cowardly and unsettled.

So what? My default was before Christ or

before a church like this. Nine times out of. 10 That's

going to be what is more natural, my natural response.

You follow me. So to choose peace, I'm not

going to necessarily feel peace, to choose peace.

I am going to have to. Discipline myself to choose

peace when the option for irritation is more available.

You following me? So.

I. Am not going to necessarily have

peace as my default. Until I make.

The choice of peace. A lifestyle.

So if you was here. Sunday we eating our sandwiches.

I saw that brother the whole morning.

I knew a problem was here, but the way I came up understood If

I didn't like, if peace was not my default, that spirit would

have messed up my witness to you.

But because I've. Harnessed peace, then I have the

authority to send a demon fleeing.

I said it's Sunday. He wasn't the demon.

He is welcome. To love quest anytime put that

spirit in and if he wants to host that spirit he going to get

dealt with every time. Right a good.

Shepherd protects his sheep. That's why no other sheep.

Really noticed it. And that's why you need a good.

Shepherd, not just a teacher. But Can you imagine if I?

Gave myself permission to be disturbed.

See here it is if my disturbance.

Is stronger than the. Holy Spirit's grief.

Then I have just. Eliminated the authority of the

Holy Ghost to deal with demonic stuff.

What do I mean if my emotions are always so strong that

because the Bible says that the Holy Spirit can be grieved?

But some of us don't care. About his grief we just care, we

mad and what I. Do.

Understand when he's grieved. How?

He leads me to. Respond comes with wisdom.

It comes with love. It comes with discipline.

It comes with a sound mind. When I let my emotions talk, it

comes with anxiety, anger and the moment I start releasing

from my emotions that response now we like.

So you notice it didn't matter what he said, I kept with the

script. He just, I ain't hear nothing,

he said. Because nothing he's.

Saying. Is from the Lord just like Jesus

dealt with. The storm.

He didn't pay attention to the waves.

He spoke to them, but here it is.

Ready, Spirit. Somebody say spirit.

He spoke to the spirit of the storm, which is the wind.

Go look up what spirit means. In the.

Bible. To you can't talk to the.

Source of the storm when you're overwhelmed by the storm.

This is so good for me so. We must silence the lies,

silence the slander, silence the mental.

Assault. These are all things the enemy.

Does I know I'm not the only one that has been?

This is what the enemy does. Is he as relentless with just

planting lies? I don't know how many times I've

gotten an airplane and it's like this plane might go down.

I didn't say. It because I won't give.

My mouth to it. I don't know how many times I

have heard in my You're going to die young.

I, I, I don't, I can't tell. You.

How many times in my mind I have heard you're not good enough.

They're better than you. You may not ever see.

This you may not ever see that. Where do those things come from

when they go against the word of God?

But what we do is we don't come. Against it we entertain it.

That's the other garden life when when Eve just instead of

no, this is what God said. You entertain the lies, so I got

to learn. How to what?

Silence the lies, silence the slander, and silence the mental

assault. Peace.

Is. Mine now, if you be thank you.

If you've been here long enough, you know, whenever I put the big

mouth on the on the slides, that mean you got to open your big

mouth and say something. So silence the lies, silence the

slander, silence the mental assault.

Thank you. Look at you never say you got a.

Big mouth. Amen.

Here it is now, now, now. Now, now, may the Lord of peace.

Now may the Lord of peace. Now may the Lord of peace.

Now may the Lord of peace. What's the next word?

Himself. May the Lord of peace himself.

May the Lord of peace himself. He's invested in my peace.

He takes ownership for my peace. He will war for me for my peace.

He went to the cross for my peace.

He died. He rose for my peace.

Now may the Lord of. Peace himself grant you his

peace. What I love about his peace is

it is without spot and without blemish.

And the devil didn't have the power to take it, nor does he.

The problem? With.

The world's peace is it's temporary and conditional.

So This is why you can. Become you can have all Here it

is. What does it take for a man to

gain the whole world but lose his what?

His soul or his peace, we're going.

To connect those two. But look, you gained the whole

world and you lost your soul because your peace was in the

game and. You wondering why God?

His answer isn't no his. Answer is.

Peace. Let's get you still.

Let's get you not irritated so not easily offended, not so

agitated because the enemy when I when you walk in what I've

called you to walk into, guess who's showing up?

The devourer, the wolves. And if you're so easily shaken?

You might as well go without. Than to have.

And lose you ever in that relationship and.

It's over and you like that, I said.

I never even did this. But you was invested.

This was your forever ever. This is your forever thing, see,

Because your peace was in that forever.

Your peace was in this potential.

Your peace was in the idea of something Hollywood, right?

And you got married and found out.

Oh no, it's not really the movies.

And so you. Lost your peace once you found

out your husband. Wasn't your savior peace?

The peace of his Kingdom. Wow, we there's no Kingdom life

without peace. You ready now?

May the Lord of peace Himself grant you his peace.

Here it is at all times. What is when the Lord says all

times? What does it mean all time and

in all ways? What does always mean all way

under all circumstances? What does all circumstances

mean? In all conditions, What does all

conditions mean? And then whatever, What does

whatever mean? Whatever, Whatever somebody say,

whatever. Oh my.

No, don't go to the next slide. I ain't finished reading you

messing up my flow, man. Come on.

I'm excited too. But calm down.

Peace. Whatever.

Comes. The Lord.

Be with you all. Oh man, why is this happening to

me? So peace can manifest.

Why they fire me so peace can. Manifest and you was late, but

why you? Why they fire me?

He said. Peace at all times, not late at

all times. Hallelujah, peace at all times

and in all ways under all. Circumstances.

So, so so This is why God is not moved by your circumstance or

your emotions, because he said I left you peace for that.

Here, here, here. You want to be LED out your

storm. You want to be LED out of your

pit. Here you go, the key which.

Is hard to find. In a storm.

In a pit, in an obscure place. But here's your key, if you can

find peace. In the.

Valley peace in the obscure place, peace in the lion's den,

peace in the storm, peace when the Egyptians are on your back,

peace in the midst of black. If you can find the key of

peace. Then I promise you.

You will torment the enemy, and you will.

Not have to. Rush out of a place where God is

trying to groom you. The first thing you.

Need to find in a storm is peace, not a way out.

And this is what the enemy wants us to do is he wants us to stay

focused and spend all of our energy trying to get out, trying

to get a breakthrough. And God says, no, I put you, I

allowed you to go on the fiery furnace because that's where I

put my peace. I allowed you to go on the lions

then because that's where I put my peace.

I allowed you to go through that storm.

I told you to go on the other side.

I told you to go on the storm because my peace was I'm

allowing you to go in these places so my peace can be

manifested to you. In these dark days.

What is the world going to be looking for more than anything?

You think the loss, you think somebody who overdose, you think

somebody who, who, who having a hangover, when they wake up

looking for peace, they going to know, oh God, got it.

No, there's going to be someone in their life who was that

steady source of peace that they rejected.

And then in the day of. Their doom guess.

What it's going to pop? Up.

And you're going to lead them to.

The source of your peace. See, your witness is not.

About just today. It's about when that person

turns 5 years from now. Now you're having people going

here. And y'all still love Quest,

still doing something. And we ain't just doing

something we. Doing the thing what you talking

about we. What did you think?

This this This is why it. Says it's whatever.

It's, it's whatever. Now you don't want to do it and

I'm reading a slide. There you go.

It's whatever. Too much.

Peace on you just couldn't. Even push the button you just.

It's whatever. Now.

Somebody shout out, it's whatever you you got.

To hold on to. This so, so in sickness.

No, it's not that, it's not that, but the healing bomb, it's

in the peace. It's like.

I'm trying to like I'm on my. Treadmill and I'm doing this,

I'm doing these intervals today and.

They're like the intervals. Is like fast and not walking,

but fast and in slower jog. Your recovery is a jog and and.

Weeks ago. I would I would.

I would be very aware of my calves burning and my legs

hurting. But then the longer, instead of

looking for the instructor to give me a recovery time or rest,

I've taken my mind off the burn. And now my.

Calves is screaming for my attention.

But I have conquered the. Burn so.

It's whatever. And what?

I hit you ready? I have conquered the Burn.

And put my attention. On keeping my posture.

Because. As you get fatigued and your

breathing is compromised, here's why Stephen Curry, they do this

thing on Steph Curry in AI, forget the numbers, so forgive

me in a timeout. The reason he can run around,

how he runs around, and he's in the best shape in the NBA is

because in timeouts, he knows how to regulate his breathing.

He's mastered his. Breathing because you ready as

your breath goes your posture. Is.

Compromised. It impacts your limbs so that's

why you could be tired running and your legs are you starting

to run all on the side of the road and you doing it because

you tired. You have no control on your

breath and your posture is breaking down.

So This is why we need worship. This is why we need Wednesday

night, because I'm fighting for my posture to stay intact and

the longer I can keep my posture, the longer I can stay

in it. It's whatever.

Do not fret. Or.

Have any anxiety about anything so we.

Just saw all times, anywhere, everywhere, all the time, it's

whatever. And then we see this scripture.

Paul pins this. Any anxiety about anything?

That is not fair, God. There has to be something.

I can be anxious about. Begging for anxious.

Past giving your spell permission when the word says he

didn't say today. Every area you anxious.

Gone. No.

But when anxiety comes up, he says, choose peace.

Give yourself permission to have peace and be driven by peace,

not by anxiety. Any anxiety about anything.

What but in? Every.

Circumstance. There go every every means, all

all means, every circumstance, and in everything by prayer and

petition. Definite requests with

Thanksgiving with Thanksgiving continue to make your wants

known. To God no, no, I, I just.

This is my own revelation. You could take it or leave it

and cling to yours, whatever you want to do, But when I I I just

always have read this and I'm like God, continue to make your

wants known that don't that don't seem like I'm not going to

tell Malachi to keep making your know your your wants known.

That get on my nerves you. Always talk about what you want.

And I'm just but then it's. This Thanksgiving and I'm just

kind of like the tone of this is I just feel there's this posture

of God saying no matter what comes your way, don't stop

pursuing me because I'm your source, right?

I'm your source. But I do believe God's hope.

Is that your wants for him is stronger than your wants for

things. Your peace there, your peace

sorry. I'm just getting excited.

I don't. Know why that came out of me,

but it is in Jesus name that was my I was in karate class and it

was not my plan. I don't do karate.

I don't do karate. Hey I.

Don't know if that's. My inner, inner Bruce Lee.

Bruce Leroy, right there. Yeah.

All right. Ask your password now.

Your piece is. In the boat that's in the storm.

Hallelujah Hollow. Do you know when we were out in

Italy, I had to. We did not have to go on the

water. We could have just.

Just walked on the shore and stayed on the beach and being

cool, I got peace. Boy, but we got on that boat.

And then peace had to manifest. I have to now.

Live with peace. I have to practice peace.

Your peace the. One, the peace I left you is in

the boat that's in the storm. You tracking your peace is in

the furnace that's on fire. Your your your piece is in.

The boat that's in the storm and your piece is in the furnace

that is on fire and your piece is in the grass with the snakes

in it. One thing I know in ministry.

Snakes. Going to show up.

Amen. Hallelujah.

There. There's going to be fires.

We're called in. There's going to be storms.

We have to. Go through and what you have to

know is that there's peace, your peace, the peace he leaves you

or left you. That peace is in the storm.

There's not one boat you're going to go in and one storm

you're going to go in that you don't take peace.

You brought peace on the on on the ocean.

You, but you. That's that was the, that was

the cold part about the disciples.

He's like, wait a minute, you had peace in the boat?

Do you still not believe in? Me.

And the God of peace shall God's peace shall be yours.

That's the soul assured. Of his salvation.

Peace. Peace is a.

Part of my salvation, you. You you got.

The most anxious people talking about I'm saying from what

though? You are just so satisfied with

after you die, so why did you get saved?

Condemnation. You get saved so that you.

Can have that peace. Oh, here we go through Christ.

And so, fearing nothing, there it goes again.

Where you going? Somebody go Go tell Dave to stop

looking ahead on the message and stealing the notes.

Yeah, that boy have some peace. And so fearing nothing from God

and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort

that is, it is whatever that peace which transcends all

understanding this what you have to understand, this piece you're

not supposed to understand. And sometimes when you're trying

to understand it, it caused anxiety.

Why have you ever been like? Why am I not tripping right now?

You're you're what? You're mad.

You're not tripping, but what? But you want the person or the

situation to go. God's peace.

Was the response the the storm activated his peace and you?

Like, wait a minute, I'm supposed.

To be tripping right now. Can you let the Holy Ghost do?

His work. He tried to help you.

Remember, we read the scripture. He himself will give you the

peace. Garrison Mount guard We.

Saw this week where that where this piece is is Garrison and

mounts guard. It's it's it's it's surrounds

you. It says over your heart, your

minds, in Christ Jesus. You ready his?

Peace is not regulated by my understanding his.

Peace. Is regulated by my faith.

Somebody say regulators mount. Up it was a clear and I'm just

playing. I'm not going.

I'm not going to go there. So, Garrison, we.

Saw this last week for the sake. Of time I'm going to read really

fast, OK? Garrison.

A station A. Place where one stands a

military or four to five posts a a a prefect Superintendent,

hence a military post a body of troops.

Stationed. In a Fort or fortified town, to

defend it against an enemy, or to keep the inhabitants in

subjection a place. Manned.

Provisioned and fortified so when you find.

Yourself in those. Situations where you should be

going off, but there's this peace.

Don't try to understand it, just receive.

Give yourself permission to receive it.

Give the person a pass. Shut your mouth.

If all of a sudden discipline comes to shut your mouth, take

it. Because maybe that's the moment.

Where God is. Saying.

You about to blow it, so I got to intervene because you for.

Sure about to get ticked off. So.

I got to you ever had? That God got to step in now.

Like let me, I'm about to put my hand over you ever move God hand

off your mouth? You didn't.

Even know it was God's. Hand on your mouth.

You ever hold it in? For so long like hours and then

later that thing popped up God like.

I tried to told. You, I tried to, I tried to hold

you and told you, but you just didn't.

You didn't want to listen. And it's not love for God to

keep his hand on your mouth. God was.

Trying to give you an. Opportunity to, to, to, to

receive the peace. The peace you had was him

putting it on you. But there comes a point.

When what he put on you, you got to keep it on you.

Yeah, Jesus Christ. Mount Garrison.

Organized people to watch man He, he, he.

He dispatches angels. He brings people in your life

like that's. That's when he's taking it upon

himself to give you the peace he left you.

He is contending for your. Peace for you.

So for you to. Be a child of.

God and not walk in peace. If if I was some of y'all I.

Wouldn't be worried about nothing else in this season but

harness in peace. This is a world that's stricken

with mental illness. I'm telling you the most

valuable thing in the lab, man, write it down.

The most valuable thing in the last days will be peace.

There will be people running. Running to be.

Friends with you? To pay you to to just so they

could be around you. There will be people giving you

job opportunities that ain't nothing on your resume but

peace. Hey, hey, look, they got so

much. Peace.

I know I could train them to do anything.

Oh, OK, Joseph. OK.

Joseph. Up in the pit, stripped naked.

Friends family abandoned him, rejected him, left him for dead,

lied to his daddy. You think if he was in the pit

just. Like oh these MFS Oh my God I

can't wait to the IT was. Like, oh, we chill, hey.

Come with us. He's like, OK.

Where are we going? Ain't got no clothes on.

He's. Like I don't know my.

Brothers are crazy. Oh my God, Oh my.

God, so much peace. And then he's probably like you.

Want us to go get your brothers? He's like, no, that's OK, They

were. Just mad that my God.

Said no, man, I. Don't know why I'm thinking he

walking like this. Forgive me, I got to stop.

Joking around that takes up. Too much time.

Amen my. Salvation on Earth is.

Anchored to my peace by my peace.

My salvation on earth is anchored by my peace.

My salvation on earth is anchored by my peace.

My salvation on earth is anchored by my peace.

Somebody just say that say that my salvation on earth is

anchored by my peace. So.

So, so when? You let somebody get under your

skin, you giving your lot away all.

Right, you just giving your bowl of soup.

Away like this. This.

My bowl of soup doesn't. OK, just go Google bowl of soup

in the Bible if you don't know what I'm talking.

Got no. Time to talk about a bowl of

soup. But it's in there, I promise.

And go look at what I'm talking about.

But I ain't sharing this bowl of soup.

Huh. Soup, Soup.

Either one, it's gonna come up one of the translation.

It's gonna come up. Guarantee you want the message.

Or the TPT got soup. TPT might got Campbell's in

there he gave away. All right, all right, all right,

all right. Salvation.

Salvation. So I told you I was gonna get to

save my salvation. Sit.

Come on. Save my.

Salvation. Right, some of y'all thought

salvation was after death. That's all you need if you got a

T-shirt and probably salvation on the back and in the front

after death. No no no no no no.

Let's look at salvation. To save.

To heal freedom from both physical danger and the effects

of sin. Here we go.

Here we go. The effects of sin.

Anxiety, that's an effect of sin.

Fear, an effect of sin. Depression, an effect of sin.

Mental illness, An effect of sin.

Worry, An effect of sin. Why is Jesus, the Prince of

Peace, the Savior of the world, the Healer, the Redeemer, the

Deliverer always warns us, fret not.

What? What good is it if you worry?

He's like worrying is what got us here in the first place.

Salvation is. Restoration to a state of

safety. Oh, are you putting?

It all together Why? Jesus himself, the Lord of our

salvation, is committed to. Our.

Peace because it's our salvation soundness put a look for God did

not give me the spirit of fear, but a power of love and what a

sound mind health, salvation, well-being as well as

preservation from danger of destruction.

Here we are shout it out guarantee, come on, guarantee.

Guarantee of safety or a security against danger of God.

If my Mama or if I told my kids, don't go outside today.

Right, I got, I got a burn on. My chest.

I got a burn on my chest from one years old.

I grew up where fried food. Was cooked.

And after you put after after you.

Cook whatever you pour, chops you, fried chicken, whatever

you. Put at least in my house, you

poured a grease in a bucket in in in some and my Mama poured

the grease. From this from my if you watch

it Mama, if I get something wrong, I'm sorry.

I know you love me. She loved me OK but but she

poured the grease in my favorite fruit.

Fruit bucket. Right, so all kids.

Know is signs and. Wonders.

That's all we know. We don't we don't know what's in

the bucket. We just know that's the sign.

That's my fruit bucket. Might be some fruit in there.

So it was still still hot, I guess I pulled up a chair.

She was on the phone and I pulled it down Bow.

All over my chest. Now you know this is flesh.

So this is this chicken too. Got it.

So. The same thing that's.

Sitting on that plate, that's what.

That grease. The grease only know how to fry

the. Grease on my life.

Now put me in the bucket. This is a human right here.

No, no, no, no fry. Y'all got to help me remember

why I'm. Even telling this story.

I don't think that's why I was. Telling this story.

Nope, that's not why I was telling this.

Story. I don't remember.

It's a good. One though.

Anyway, I'm going to use that. OK?

OK. But I can't share that story

because he didn't protect me from the grease.

That's not why I was about to share this story.

I don't know, I forget. It'll come back to me.

Holy Ghost help, huh? OK, it's so it was so good what

I was. About to share with you.

Anyway, got to burn. On my chest.

Now it's like y'all didn't even need to.

Know that. Y'all don't even need to know

that you were saying. In your kids, you.

Told him not to go into the street.

Stop. Thank you.

Thank you. Mama, so it's like, it's like,

but my Mama, I'm sure at times, says son, son, stop.

Don't go near the stove. Right, I'm getting to this.

Point of a guarantee of safety. And then we got a world and the

church asking these questions. Well, if God is God, then why

this happened? Not if you love.

God, why'd you do that? Now this is what I'm saying.

Some stuff happens. The only way to get back to

where we're promised to go, we got to die.

Death is merely an exit, no different than the womb was was

merely an entrance. Death is a door, just like life

was a door. So there's no other way to get.

Back. So we got to go.

OK. So the the the.

Point here is, is like God's guaranteeing you safety but.

You got to. Do your part to stay within

these parameters and then the scripture works.

Count it all joy when you fall into so if you're in under his

wings, you're hiding in his love and life happens.

There's a there's a there's there's just something like

TDJTDJ. We see what just happened to

him, right? The brother almost died right on

the stage. That would have been a huge

general that left the earth. OK, enemy try to take him out

the moment they notice what was going on.

You see the response? You see why it's important to

have a praying church? Not praying elders or a few

praying people, but a praying church.

Because the damage that Potter's house is doing, the souls that

Potter's house is snatching out of, out of hell, away from hell.

The enemy don't like that, so if he can end a legacy in tragedy.

And guess what kind of questions would?

Why God? Why this guarantee of safety?

Is not a guarantee from death. It's not a guarantee from

storms. Just know you're going to go.

In the storm, and the storm ain't going to kill you.

I don't need to guarantee of safety.

If I ain't going nowhere, that is unsafe.

We got to get our thinking straight.

So we see. This since the.

Condition resulting from a cessation of war.

Just talking about like peace, like, like like.

Peace from war. Blessings.

Prosperity. The absence of war or chaos.

The absence of chaos. The absence from of Shalom.

Understand the absence of war. How many people ever had a war

going on up here? Yep, Yep, Yep.

The. Absence of war or chaos.

It means Shalom, wholeness, calmness, completeness with

Jesus the Prince of Peace, this. This is you saw.

Words like safety. Now you see this Garrison?

You see this? Protection.

It's wholeness in all of life, Completeness, welfare, safety,

right? You saw these same words where

salvation was described. Peace Interstate of well.

Being and calm and outer project of promoting non violence

conflict right this peace. And then?

You know a brother like a three piece.

OK, I wasn't talking about chicken.

I was talking. About a soup.

Amen. Hallelujah.

Spiritual peace. There's three.

Types of peace or three areas of peace that belongs to a

spiritual peace. That's peace with God,

relational peace. That's peace with others, An

emotional. Peace.

Peace within ourselves. He said peacemaker, not people.

Pleaser. There's more anxiety and people.

Pleasing. Be OK with the Lord.

Or you or what circumstances disrupting relationships that

you that are over and make peace not try to please people whoever

that's. For.

Shalom is our authority is in our Shalom.

You ready? Only got a few.

Minutes and you're going to be blessed by something.

The peace of God is designed to regulate and govern our nervous

system and protect our soul. Y'all didn't hear me y'all?

Didn't hear me. Now you ready?

You struggle with anxiety. Guess what you need?

You need to make peace your Lord.

Here here's how you make peace your.

Lord, some a lot of our anxiety is triggered by our perspective.

I'm. Going to say it again.

A lot of our anxiety. Is triggered by our perspective.

A lot of your anxiety. Is triggered by your ideologies,

your philosophies, your point of view, how you see things.

And for many of you in. Here, culture is more your Lord

than peace is. What?

What parent? What people?

Think is more your Lord than what peace says about you.

Because by the time we finish this, you'll.

Find out if you haven't already. Peace as a person.

Here it is. Peace.

Is a person or he? Wouldn't have the ability to

leave it with us. Peace of God you have.

To get it and you got to. Wrap your head around this, this

revelation. The peace of God is designed to

regulate, govern our nervous system.

And protect our. Soul, I think this is one of the

words that need to be preached and brought to light, and

revelation needs to be had because a lack of peace is a

cause of a lot of disease. We preach even for forget.

If you had peace. You don't need a sermon on

relationship goals. Peace should be your goal.

And out of peace, get married. And if you find another anxious

person, don't think you can save them.

Hallelujah. So, so so so so.

You ready? All the fire is going to.

Do is activate my salvation so. So what did the fiery furnace do

when the fiery furnace, when the fiery when they were put in the

fiery furnace, what showed up? Peace.

Peace was the 4th man in the fire.

But. So, so so so when?

You get this attitude? OK devil, You going to attack me

then you got. To deal with.

What's about to show up? You messing with my family.

You're going to have to deal. No, I'm not about to flip out on

you. I'm about to serve.

I'm about to worship. I am about to.

I am about to give peace permission.

Athletes that you, you're in these.

Big games give peace permission. My boldness comes from peace.

My courage comes from peace. I can't hit a game winner

without peace. People we know as.

As as being able to be the greatest game finishers, they

don't have that brand because they hit shots by accident.

They have the. Greatest.

Focus under the greatest amount of pressure.

It is under. Pressure.

You became a Hall of Famer. It is how people know you in the

dark. All the fire.

Going to do is activate my salvation.

All the snakes going to do is reveal my strength and all the

storm going to do is activate my serenity.

All the fire going to do. Is activate my salvation.

All the snakes going to do is reveal my strength and all the

storm. Going to.

Do is activate my serenity? I I got to read that again.

All the fire going to do is activate my salvation, all the

snakes going to do is reveal my strength, and all the storm

going to do is activate my serenity.

I'm going to read it again because I feel.

Like the Holy Ghost need me to because it's some of y'all

really getting this. All the fire going to is

activate my salvation, all the snakes going to do is reveal my

strength, and all the storm going to do is activate my

serenity. Our authority is governed.

By his peace and our. Peace is governed by.

His authority? Yeah.

We going to go through some stuff.

It's going to be hard, It's going to be tough.

But but but but I can't. Focus on the storm so long.

That I no. Longer have the.

Ability to put on peace, like peace has to be my first

response. Right, there's no different

think. About this, you guys, when

you're in an airplane and there's crazy turbulence, I

don't know about you, but I'm looking for the flight

attendant. If if I had a flight attendant,

I was. Like, Oh my God, God, God, sit

down. Hurry up.

Sit down. No, no.

But that flight attendant? Is what what brings me to most

pieces when it's turbulence and they still serve as snacks.

Right, because here it is. There's.

There's lies going on that that, that that plane was built.

There's no, there's no, there's no pilot.

There's no plane that doesn't. Fly because there's turbulence.

They they a lot of times, correct me if I'm wrong,

Deborah, a lot of times they don't fly when there's a storm

under them that's too bad to land the.

Let when the. Landing is threatened, not the

flight. So you you mad at God because?

He got you circling the promise. And he's like, come on, I didn't

bring. You up here so we can turn

around? We circling because there's.

Danger in the land, OK. OK, we.

Didn't take the promise like we. We went and spied the promise.

Then we came back with a report. Right.

They didn't look, look. They needed to know it was OK to

land. That's why there's 2 reports.

One gave. Themselves permission to be.

Fearful one gave themselves permission.

David couldn't. David.

Couldn't David couldn't take out Goliath.

Without harness, in peace. That's why what came.

Out of his mouth was you ain't fighting me.

So if the fight ain't mine, why am I scared?

I don't. Got to fight you.

You got to fight them, Lord. 'S like Nah, the promise will

be. Compromised if we land with the

state of your. Mindset.

Some of y'all just you you. Can't see it because you don't

got no peace. You flying around the promise,

you just Lord like. Boy, if you find.

Peace we can land, but here, here, here's the here, here,

here's Shah Ravi Shang a minute ago, here's what they P said.

Even if he don't show up, be good.

See, this is what peace will do. It will cause you to be willing

if I get it or not. See the struggle with you and

God. Is you got to have it.

Try you got to have him. I got to have him so I could

wait for three years. I don't got to have this

building. And at the end of the day, like

many people in the Bible, if I got to stand up here and say,

guys, all the money we gave, yeah, we, we, we got to go.

It's not going to work out. And folks leave folks be mad.

And I don't trust you, you crazy.

And I whatever. OK, I know and I will take it.

And I would be like, Dang, God, why you?

But I won't be like. Moses and Strike.

The rock and you stand in the storm and be OK that God's in it

with. You.

Or do you got to have what you? Want so bad that you're willing

to abandon your peace? Father, we thank you for your

peace. Come on, open your mouth right

where you are and just begin to pray.

And again, give yourself permission.

To have peace. Put, put that peace on.

Put that peace on. Put that peace on.

We're about to head into one. Of the most chaotic.

Times of the year and it's about the Prince of.

Peace, but it's full of chaos. You're.

Going to go out here. Shopping in traffic.

Do not give up your peace. Hey, guess what?

Don't go shopping if you're going to lose your peace.

Hallelujah Shop. Online and if you show up too

late, Oh well, you still got peace on Christmas.

With a bow on it, just take one minute and just.

If it's something that. Stood out for.

You just declare that over you I give.

Myself permission to have peace. Peace is my Lord peace.

Shalom is my savior. Peace.

Is my portion. I will manage my.

Posture so I can have your peace.

Hallelujah. Come on, tonight I choose peace.

Pieces on the table. Pick it up.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Come on, if you received a few

things tonight, give God a a good old round of applause.

Come on, you can do better than that.

Come on. Come on, say Peace is mine

really quickly. You know about the Christmas

production? That's.

What I'm talking about, you know, about the Christmas

production. It be it kicks off next weekend.

Come on, got it right God. With us, right?

Peace with us, OK? Can you?

Can you chill? Chill.

So I really need you. Guys to.

Tell tell. The world to come.

Out to our Christmas production, it will not disappoint.

This weekend we get in a stage brought in.

You say you won't see this praise.

God and. Then we get in a tent.

Extended out, praise God, we'll have room.

And so we're going to end this year in our home for our

Christmas production and our New Year's Eve celebration.

OK, now our New Year's Eve celebration is, if I can

remember it, is themed stepping, stepping in the new.

No stepping into the, stepping into the new.

And stepping into the K. NEWU OK, we'll have a flyer on

Sunday. The reason why I'm playing with

the word stepping. OK, here's the thing.

The theme is going to be like what?

Was it urban? Elevated urban.

OK. So last year it was last year it

was like kind of ball like real fancy.

This year we're going to dress really nice, but it's going to

be more urban like. But the focus will be the kicks,

OK? So.

So what we're saying is like, maybe.

Blazer and some nice pants or whatever.

But the focus. Is going to be the kicks we're

going to take a lot of pictures of shoes and.

People are going to be like, why?

Are y'all showing so many shoes because we're stepping in to the

new and stepping into the new you right, OK, and so.

And it's going to. Be I think we said black and

Gray with skittle pops the red. Bag of Skittles.

OK, so you can pop royal blue, purple, yellow, whatever you

have to do, it is going to be a blast.

And if you've never been to a New Year's Eve celebration here

at Love Quest, trust me, you don't want to miss it.

It's going to be some entertainment.

It's going to be live music. And I am so excited to release

the word for 2025. Yep.

So there's a. Special word God.

Has for this house and for your. Household and it's going to be

powerful and pray for me as I continue to go in and try and

get understanding because I don't take that word or none of

the word lightly. And So what I will say is.

We will. Be here next Wednesday.

Next Wednesday will be the last Wednesday of 2024.

So let's end. Our.

Wednesdays with how we want to start our year, let's show up

let's show out let's have a great time and I will finish the

other 30 slides or 40 slides next Wednesday but I promise you

you need to get it and bring somebody because I'm sure you

even know some non believers that need to hear about peace.

And then this Friday, if you can come out, I know it's a later

game, it's at 9:00 PM, but I'll be there.

Our team will be there and we will be playing in round ball,

the competitive game of basketball in our mission field.

And then we have December 26th, our victory seed.

Has God brought victory into your life this year?

And so December 22nd. It will be our last opportunity.

No, it won't be, but it will be a a focused opportunity in 2024

to give our last biggest seed a sacrificial seed.

Our goal is what anybody remember $100,000 that day and

it will go towards the Remnant project.

And so that day, we. Will have a worship.

Experience around our sacrificial seed that will be

given at the altar for the morning experiences and then

December 22nd will be our last Vancouver experience.

OK. This Sunday is our last

Vancouver experience before the Christmas productions and then

there's one more on December 22nd.

I think that's Am I missing something?

What am I missing? Huh.

Please get your tickets. For the production, the tickets

are free as far as the registration, but when you come

here, you will have an opportunity to give a donation.

I will tell you that this production is worth $100 ticket,

OK. Easy.

And so don't, don't, don't, don't be cheap with your church.

One day we're going to get it out there to the city and then

to the nation. 10 to your feet really quickly.

I'm not forgetting anything. DJ anybody?

Huh. The puppet pop up.

We got time. We got time.

Am I forgetting anything? Huh, Christmas?

Eve, yes, we will be having a that wasn't on that Christmas

Eve experience. It will be a power packed

experience and and for those that don't know, every Christmas

Eve, every special. Even.

For the most. Part.

Like holidays I have preached since the conception of this

church, This year I just felt it in my heart.

For Christmas Eve, I will have Elder John bring the Christmas

Eve word. And so.

I just really have an outfit. I.

Want to wear on Christmas Eve and I don't want to get it

sweat. Amen.

So. No, I'm just playing.

I, I I just. Want to chill?

My wife would have been away. My family would have been away.

This is a very interesting time for our family's life.

One thing that I do sense from the Lord is.

This separation in our. Family is for the family.

For me as the priest of the home, there are some things that

God is desiring to, to get me to focus on in this time and with

my family away and walking around the house by myself is

tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It'll be the first Thanksgiving

I've never been without my, my family.

No, none of my kids are here and my wife's not here.

So it'll be the first Thanksgiving I've ever

celebrated without family period of any kind.

But this time is so precious because there's some things he's

trying to get to me and through. Me.

For y'all, so I need you. Praying for me.

Not not like God comfort him. I'm good, I just need.

You to pray that in this. Time where I'm able to walk with

him in a more amplified way that I really execute and hear

because our time right now is like that picture earlier.

It's like face to face, man. And I'm just like from the time

I go to sleep, when I wake up, he is just talking and there's

things he wants me to finish this year.

And I hope you finish the things he's asking you to finish.

But pray for our family in this. Time, because as much as we have

faith and we're excited about what God is doing, I don't

necessarily think it's God design for families to be

separated. I'm wrestling with those

thoughts in the sense of the North American family, I kind of

think. That's why the North.

American church is the way it is.

When I see God, I see a God of Isaac, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

and this. Question popped up in my.

Time alone the other day was how?

How can a plan for a bloodline be carried out when the goal is

to push our kids out at 18? Then we look at these other.

Families and the the things that they do.

When it comes to long. Term wealth and impact in

countries and in North. America, man our.

Goal is to raise our kids to get out.

Not raise our kids. To carry the baton.

So there's things and thoughts. Like that as.

God, I think takes me to another level of leadership where I am

going to as I get older and there's some real mature

conversations that I'm having with the Lord that's really

cool. But drawing near to Him is can

be scary, but there's no place I'd rather be.

I heard someone. Other day says.

Man, we can't carry God's glory. We could barely carry attention.

They're very popular communicator and I get what they

were trying to say, but I also look at the.

Fruit. Of that communicator and as

though they are pastor and preacher and all of that and a

lot of big platforms. They're also super carnal and

you right, You can't carry God's glory being carnal.

So I think. People carry.

God's glory in different measures and I leave you with

this thought of how much do you want to walk?

With the Lord. Are you satisfied with just a

regular old I serve at church or I'm a Christian or is there

something inside of you that's like, no, I want to take this

thing further than I've? Ever seen?

In my family, I want to walk with God.

Or do you want God to be like somebody you just get stuff

from? I will tell you if you leave

this earth. And all you became was a.

Beneficiary of. The Gospel.

And not someone who laid their lives down for it.

You missed out, Father. I thank you that you are raising

up glory carriers. I thank you that you are

raising. Up faithful men and women who

yearn for you, who've earned for you, who desire you, and

anything that is in the way, Father, they are willing to cut

it off. Anything you've asked them to go

through, they're willing to go through, even with tears in

their eyes. Lord God.

But I thank you. That you're raising up a

remnant. You're anointing a remnant

people. Who are serious about

relationship? With you who are serious about

holiness, thank you. Thank you God, for saying yes to

us, for saying I do to. US.

As we get. Out here, Lord.

I pray that you just protect us and keep us as we go out in this

Dark World. Shine through us and Lord.

We give ourselves. Permission to have peace.

And we decline. Anxiety we decline worry and we

permit peace in Jesus name, Amen.

Have a wonderful evening. I will see you guys on Sunday at

either 9/11 30 or. 5:00 PM. Until next time, get your love
