The Great Deception (9AM) - 11.24.2024 (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.

The Lord is fighting for you. The Lord is orchestrating a

comeback, a turn around breakthrough, break out.

Lord is favoring you in areas you cannot see.

The blood. Is working all things together

for you. The Lord is calling us to His

bosom in this hour. Your mistakes have not, cannot,

will not stop God's mission. Your steps are still ordered.

The Father is beckoning. He is wooing.

He is pulling. In this hour, you might only

hear one word from God while you're looking for an answer to

your prayer. There is one word that I hear

God saying in this hour, and for some it may frustrate you.

But in this hour, in this dispensation of time, I hear the

Lord simplifying his response to his children.

And all I hear the Lord saying in this hour is come.

Many do not want to hear that response.

We want to hear from God. Where?

How? How much?

Are you sure? Promise me, Guarantee me all God

told Peter was come. And if you've been on the sea,

you would know that that hour was very dark and in a pitch

Black Sea. The only thing in Peters

uncertainty he heard from God was come.

So take all of your prayers and I'm telling you his answer

today, right now. I'm telling you some of y'all

been praying some real long prayers.

Some of y'all been praying some very elementary prayers.

What's an elementary prayer? Praying about stuff the Lord

says. If you want to hear from me,

respond to this word. Let the desperation for the

things you want from God be shown through your desperation

for Him. God in this hour is not going to

bless you with a bunch of stuff when He knows that your desire

is for the stuff more than it is for Him.

You're not experiencing lack because there's a shortage.

The shortage that you're experiencing is within you.

It's not within the economy, it's not within your business,

it's not within other people. The short, the shortage you feel

rather emotionally, psychologically, physically,

spiritually, it lies within the well of your soul.

What would happen if you focused on one word for the rest of this

year? What would happen if you

simplified your life and said outside of drawing near to God,

nothing else is going to steal my affections.

My peace belongs to drawing to the Lord.

I'm going to be distracted. By drawing near to him, I'm

gonna go to work. I'm gonna put up my goals.

I'm gonna have my agendas. But none of these earthly.

Things will steal from my emotional and spiritual real

estate no more. They didn't call me today.

So what? I'm not going to draw near to

anxiety, because guess what else calling you?

Anxiety, Worry, fear, acceptance, affirmation.

No, no, no if. The job don't call you.

Back what you waiting for you shouldn't apply for one anyway

that that should be the soundtrack.

Simple. You have my attention super

simple. But does he really can he

interrupt your day like he just interrupted that moment and he

snatched your attention from your worry.

See here's what worry and anxiety and enemy comes to do

snatch your attention and your affections.

So no wonder we can't pray because we don't actually have

no time or energy to give to the Lord this hour.

This is how we have, if you just think over all the messages

that's been preached over the last, I don't know, six months,

but all year, starting with New Year's Eve, the Lord has

actually been guiding us through this year.

EJ When are people going to realize that the Word of God is

meant to guide them through life?

So I must trust and keep my eyes on what God is saying more than

what Instagram's saying because Instagram got news too.

Facebook got news, TikTok has news, and all of them are trying

to point you to a direction. Friends, family, everybody got

news. The word is a what Lamp unto my

feet, and a light unto you don't have no.

Reason to be. Lost if you've been found, how

you found still lost. The only way I can be found is

still lost is I'm not focused on the guide.

Only reason I get lost. In the Safari is.

I want to wander off over here and smell this interesting

looking flower over here and I've been so distracted by the

thing that. Pulled my attention.

That I'm not. Staying the course of the Safari

like I know the safari like I know the wilderness, but.

Why would God call you? Somewhere you know the way I'm

not gonna call you. Somewhere you're not gonna need

me. So no surprise, God has.

You in places. That are obscure.

It's meant to hear him. It's where it all started.

The garden. Remember, if you're a believer,

you should have at least. Read Genesis one at least to

like from verse 1 to 20. Six, you should at least heard

of Adam and Eve. You should at least at least got

the first 3 chapters of the book of Genesis.

And if you understand that we were never meant to be drifting

and wandering and lost and confused, Confusion was not in

the garden. Confusion was a temptation, not

a reality. The great deception.

We're here. How do I know we're here?

Because the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.

And it. Started off with darkness, it

started off with gloom and doom it.

Started off with obscurity. It started off with darkness.

Guess how it's going in and for us to walk around and think

somehow we don't need strategy. We can do it without the Lord.

I promise you, you will come running asking for help.

I took a note out of EJ's book from his message last week and

I'm gonna start there. It's a note where he says

deception is a mindset. Isn't it funny how many?

People choose to be deceived. You could be like.

Bro like look. Look at what the cigarette packs

say at the bottom. It can't they honest with you?

So that's not even deception. You're deceived.

But the but Satan ain't trying to deceive you.

He like you so deceived. I can tell you, you gonna die.

And somewhere within you, you gonna be like, no, I ain't.

Or let me put it this harsh to you.

If you actually intake something, you know it's gonna

kill. You, you are suicidal.

Oh, you don't need a gun, You don't need a knife, you don't

need to overdose on pills? How about that nicotine you keep

smoking and then they package? It up real nice and we're going

to give you or what's that new thing?

Oh, so you know, right? Hey, like like somehow I'm in.

Hell in fire still, but this is less harmful.

Because the vape don't give you the fireworks show so so as long

as you hide the harm. I don't mind inhaling it.

Right, because it's good, man. Something I ain't supposed to

be. Smoking something?

That's smoking, right? Something is on fire and.

It's going inside my mouth. So after a while you're going to

be like. Clearly this is dangerous, but

that vape with the flavors. Put those some flavor on it to

appease your senses. We're going to take away that

smell little bit and we're going to take away the stain.

Wednesday we talked about stuff that we guard in our heart.

We'll guard pride, we'll guard ignorance.

We'll guard our attitude. We'll guard it and we'll make

excuses. And it's funny how the.

Same thing you're making excuses for to stay.

You're asking God to help you make a leave.

Well, hello. Open up the cage.

Deception is a mindset and practice allegiance, which to me

says that there is a loyalty. To my deception.

I am faithful to my ignorance. I don't want accountability in

that area. Everybody wants.

Accountability. But they want to.

Select it hey can look anybody that has books.

Don't mind accountability. Anybody that got a job?

You. Don't mind accountability, but

once somebody start talking about that stuff that you think

you was born with or that's how God made.

You. God can make you away and the

enemy can turn that way away. I have no doubt God made you

loud. But if you're not.

Skillfully loud You're loud is perverted.

So why would you sit here and be like they?

Trying to change me. I'm going to go to this church

because they don't accept me over here, No.

You just can't be. Screaming at people while the

preacher preaching. Right.

You just can't be having outbursts.

But I know you're passionate, but you can't just be screaming

at your spouse because you got passion.

It says allegiance to a lie and and the partial truth is based

on it's it is based on and it refuses accountability, full

truth or revelation. And I wrote down here in tiny

little letters, like they do on cigarette cartoons, Whatever you

guard, you own. Let me help you anything.

That's not of God that you choose to guard.

Stop praying about it because it's not a stronghold.

It's something you're holding. You ready?

You ready? You're the.

Strongman So God now OK, OK, OK, you're right.

The devil did start the cycle through great grandmama and then

Mama and then you like that's how I was raised.

See you own it. You you pledge allegiance to

that foul bloodline spirit. So then you accept it and you

make it the you accept the lineages language for what?

You are struggling with. Oh my, everybody got mental

illness in my family. Let.

Me. Put that on let.

Me tell you, almost not almost everybody got.

Signs and symptoms of mental illness Right what?

That's why we need peace. That's why we need Jesus.

Because we ain't straight up here.

Every last one of y'all could be diagnosed with something.

If you search it long enough, boy, do not let the enemy plant

a possibility of what's wrong with you.

Boy, you this day we, we, we diagnose ourselves and put it on

and wear it proud. Deliverance begins that

disownership. I'm making of a word

disownership deliverance. Do you know how many people come

up here, know well and want to be delivered not understanding

that I can't help you if you going to walk out of here and

still hold on to the thing you got enough sense to walk up to

me and be like I got. Demons.

How many people you see in the Bible walk up to Jesus, say I

got demons, get these out. Or how much do you see Jesus?

Walk up on the scene and then demons manifest and because of

what he carry and they can't say.

You you, you get. Hey PTI, got a demon on the left

side of my hip right here. And then after 8:30 they move

over here. You see, y'all be y'all think

I'm joking? I've had some folks tell me

exactly where the demons stay. You got.

All that information, then you. Going to try to tell.

Me how to? Get you delivered.

Yell at me because they aggressive.

Well, won't you just go? Home and yell at you get you

some oil, lay your hands on yourself and deliver yourself

because you got more information about the stronghold did not do

at the end of the day, I don't I'm not the deliverer what you

holding on to what you keep coming Sunday after Sunday after

Sunday for and you won't take what God is prescribing.

You know what? A prescription.

Is. Can I help some of y'all?

Can I help some of y'all? Some of y'all gonna be

uncomfortable about this? You you know what a prescription

is at a church home, right? Anybody got a a family doctor,

Right. And then everybody else just got

doctors. Whoever it takes you, that's

fine. Drop in.

That's what. I'm on that package too.

OK. Now listen.

OK, listen. Why do you need a family doctor?

Talk to me. They know you, they fought, they

follow, they follow, they follow your DNA, they know they know

you. They can go way back and be

like, man, your Mama had this. So you, you you have this

percentage to of a chance to get this.

So let's treat it this way due to what's in your blood, right

family doctor, How many people got a hospital or a clinic that

they will go to regularly, like just on some right kill you

guys? OK, so this is the same.

Way we call a place our. Church Home, and at that church

home, God prescribes things like Wonder Wednesday, like fasting

and praying. Right.

Saturday, Saturday prayer. OK, I can't come in person.

Monday night prayer. Those are all pills.

How many you taking this your church home Right?

Right. It's not really home.

Some people visit every week because when somewhere is your

home, you eat the meal served, you're like OK and.

This is why man wait. I'm not afraid to like.

Challenge people because you need to go.

Where you will take the prescription next.

Time you go to your. Doctor and he give you a

prescription? Tell him no.

You take it he gonna say. I don't really need the amount

of doses you need. I've worked myself to health,

that's why you coming to see me. Hallelujah.

Maybe I'm talking to the wrong audience this morning.

Amen. But deliverance begins at this

ownership. I have to disown it.

I can't own it. I can't.

I can't have allegiance. To it.

But. Followed by actions that oppose

the origin of the once believed truth.

Christmas Eve, guys, that's coming up low plug.

This is supposed to be a walk in the garden.

Remember that I'm gonna repeat some stuff.

Why? Because we forgive some stuff we

remember. In Genesis 3, the man said he

blamed. Remember this ownership?

So. He's not.

He's not owning. His his lack of communicating.

The word of God. And standing, No, God's not

dealing. With you about her

responsibility. He's dealing with you, about you

not. Listening to the word.

You, you ate 2 so it's not Mama fault, it's not the government

fault. You eaten what they serving.

She gave me the woman you gave me, she gave me.

What if God was just showing up? I don't know how this would

work, but I'm just curious. What if God was just showing up

to see if Adam and Eve would take responsibility?

So because I can't see, it's easier if you take.

Responsibility to place you back where I brought you from.

But if you're deceived, we can't go forward in truth.

So I got to let you work your truth out.

I got to let you work this out because I can only walk with

truth. God.

So he says, hey, what's going on?

I know, but I'm getting it's like Mama walk in the room.

Who ate this candy? I don't know.

And then they get real. Scared and they go where's easy

at? Why you doing that?

Chocolate all on his mouth, same thing.

We mad at government. We mad at everybody else except

taking the ownership. For our part, because we don't

got to eat the crap, we don't got to put on the stress the

world giving. Sis, what is this you've?

Done. Goes on said to the woman, and

we know she was like, well the serpent beguiled me, cheated,

outwitted and deceived me, so I. Ate I didn't eat out of.

Faith I ate out of deception. 2nd Corinthians, but now.

I'm fearful y'all love quest. I'm fearful.

More holy fear than I am. Afraid for you?

Let lest that even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his

stunning, so your minds may be corrupted and seduced from

wholehearted and sincere and pure devotion to Jesus.

I'm as a leader in this day. I am fearful for you because I

looked under the bed of your soul and I see pills you didn't

take. I see you shoot showed up and

got the prescription you ready but you wouldn't take them.

But your friend came and you gave them one.

You know how you help other people sometimes, but you don't

take the same medicine you serve?

I'm glad I I have a trainer. Like, like, like somebody

that'll be committed to me. Like like.

Andrew 'cause when I show up right and he's working me out,

there's no contradiction in his instructions.

I'm not looking at his body, looking at his instructions.

I'll be like bro please you do 10 more reps.

Understand why our witness is so important.

You're trying to serve your friends at school.

Stuff you ain't even taking. That's why they tell you, man,

I'll come when I'll come another time.

I'll come some other time. All right, Maybe they can't come

Sunday, but they can come Wednesday.

You my own. Do Wednesday.

Take responsibility for your choosing and your guarding of

your mindset. Only way I've become a better

husband and I'm still working on me is because I've taken

responsibility for my stuff. You know it takes a lot less

time to look at you than others because you can't control when

others change. I think so babe.

Thank you, sweetheart. Thank you.

Hallelujah. Take responsibility for choosing

and guarding your mindset. Take your sight back.

Oh, here's here's even the hard part.

There's a whole lot of smart people think they can see

because they smart. Just because you can think.

Don't mean you can see. Your neighbor.

This side over here we got a lot of stares.

Over here. Tap your neighbor over there,

say. Stop staring and respond.

Let the pastor know you alive. Come on, come on, come on.

Talk to your neighbor real quick.

Come on, let the pastor know you alive, OK?

Right, folks. Think because they could think.

That site no the the. Enemy.

Has manipulated a lot of thinkers.

And guess what he thought? What?

Guess what? He used you thinking you ever

did. Anybody know a overthinker?

If it's you, raise your hand. Don't.

Don't raise your hand for the one you know right?

They take your sight back. Come on, just pull.

Up and take your sight back real quick.

Come on. And then put.

Put your eyes. Back on OK, faith doesn't mean

you don't think. But faith does mean that you

think through the lens of truth. I don't, I don't land.

I don't. My, my, my faith does not stop

at facts. Actually, my faith is

strengthened by facts, but not if I don't know the truth that

Trump's that fact. Hallelujah.

Take your sight back, Luke. 15 Here's an example.

Then when he came to himself right, he ready for this.

Ownership. Can I use that word?

Today when he came to himself, somebody clapped like this and

say when he came to himself, when he came to himself, he said

how many hired servants of my here here's a sign that he's

coming to himself because he sees the father as a father, not

an enemy. What caused him to be deceived

and leave because he thought his father was trying to keep?

Something from me? Hey pops, I need what I should

only get after you die. Can you just slide a brother

something early? Can you give me that early

inheritance? Huh, 'cause you gonna die, so

you might as well just go and give me a down payment.

And guess what the father did? Because he's so good.

He's so good, he's so good. He gave you what you asked for.

Have God ever blessed you? And then it ran out.

It's way too many people in here that don't know nothing.

Right? Because I'll be.

Yeah, I didn't ask a lot of questions this morning.

I'm looking for a response for real.

This is the I thought. Our I thought our bus was black.

Amen. Hallelujah.

I forgot we in Canada and they don't know how to joke.

Y'all don't know how to joke no more.

All right. Then when he came to himself, he

said, how many hired servants of my father have enough food and

eating, though you can't. Explain the joke to nobody.

Come on. Stay focused y'all so messed.

You mean like no, no color of the bus?

You know you and. Be quiet, stay focused and even

food to spare, he said. I left provision and I left

spare. I left overflow.

I left abundance, I left extra, but I am perishing, dying here.

Of what? Hunger, He says.

Wait a minute. What?

What? How did I get here?

I took some now, and now, later I realized what?

I walked away. From I allowed the pressure.

The anxiety, the feeling like I'm missing out, the the fear to

rush me into something that God was actually not trying to keep

from me. But.

Preserving for me and he's such a good.

Father that he's like. You want it now.

OK, cool. Here you go.

Said he came to himself. Say he came to himself.

Look, he took responsibility. I will get up and go to my.

Father and I will say to him. Father, I have sinned against.

Heaven and in your sight. I want y'all to follow me on

this. Just as he was.

Preparing his speech to return home.

The. Father was preparing his hug to

receive him home. Question should I write hug?

Because hug. Wouldn't quite get the punch.

I knew I knew that wouldn't be like a strong word that made

people be like woo, but sometimes we make God so that we

don't understand how intimate He is and how much He really is

yearning for your. Presence this.

Brother betrayed his family and he said I betrayed.

Heaven. He's sitting here preparing his

repentance speech. The Father is just looking for

him to return, ready to pick up where he left off.

What if I told you God don't need you to make up lost time?

Am I talking to this side? God?

God don't need you to be sorry about your past.

He just needs you to be faithful about your future.

Pick up. Come on, pick up where you left

off. He has not changed his mind.

You're sitting here allowing your anxiety of the return to

prolong the return. You you so worried about getting

back to your post and serving God that you are overthinking

the return. But but here it is, man who told

you you're returning to the same situation.

I would like to think that the prodigal son's father was very

prosperous. So the time he was gone, he was

still prospering. So when he get back home, the

same finances gonna be increased now, right?

It's gonna be new workers at home.

It's gonna be a new atmosphere at home.

There's the look I but God would not have given me my portion if

my portion that was it. Can I tell somebody you have not

lost your portion, your sin has not counted to I'll discredit

you. It has not forfeited your

inheritance. God is God is wooing us.

He's saying come in this hour. And some people I need you to

straighten. Your mind real quick 'cause you

think I'm. Talking about your lost sister.

You think I'm talking about your lost cousin?

You think I'm talking about your lost Mama?

No, no, no. 100% of the people in here.

The Lord is calling sons and daughters home because I need

to. Look at this look.

At this because home. It's where the heart.

Is follow me home is where the heart.

Is ready. Home is where truth, no matter

if it's error or not. But home is where my truth

abides, a lot of you. Guys are resting in lies.

You've been believing that thing about you for way too long home.

Is where truth abides. Look, look, look.

Home starting in the garden Home is where we left Follow me

Follow me because this next. Slide is about to be.

Very powerful and I hope it lands on a few people's.

Spirit Man. Home is where we left you see.

You know this responsibility being taken, you're like.

No, they got no God didn't kick them out the.

Garden. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Old Testament wording. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But now that I personally know the father's love, he he didn't

kick his kids out of home. Deception drew them away.

So home is where we left. That's the posture.

Responsibility is the. Posture of repentance.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Home is where we left.

So if we left home through deception, then we can return

home. Through truth, OK.

I'm trying to help a few people who think we're not getting home

till we die. Can can we help the Saints,

Brett, Right. We we you thinking you got to

die? Well, Jesus, you did you.

Pray wrong then we talking about your Kingdom come your will be

done on earth as it is in home did.

Jesus just pray wrong prayer or he's telling us yet maybe in

part, but we we can return. Have you ever lived in a home?

In part Let let me let me help you real quick.

Have you ever? Lived in a home that wasn't your

dream home? But you had to stay there, and

you learned how to rest in that, and that became your home now.

Now your dream home ain't never going to come unless you know

how to steward the little bit of home.

Oh, we got 4-5 kids, but we got a little old house.

OK. But you when I was a little kid,

I never knew it wasn't enough bedrooms.

I never knew Spam or Vienna sausages and.

Cheese Whiz. Cheese whiz and Ritz crackers

was what you eat. Or government cheese.

I never, I just thought it was cheese.

I didn't know there was government cheese, PO people

cheese and then bougie people cheese.

I didn't know it was sharp and old fart and then all of that.

You know what I'm saying? Like, like as as a child in the

Kingdom, this garage has to be treated like the dream, right?

So, so the same way you take your sight back, take your dream

back. Your dream is not a destination.

The dream is not when I arrive somewhere the dream.

Faith is the substance of things, hope for the evidence of

things, not see. If I don't steward the dream

within, I'll never see the dream without.

So you want? To know you want to understand

Elder John, you want to. Understand.

The worst part of deception is when God's children think they

have to. Die to be home.

Forget all these other deceptions, because when you

know you at home, ain't nobody going to come up in your house

and have the food. Did you hear what?

I When, when, when you see you ever have a kid, they just have

to fool in the house. And then as a parent you like

wait one day. You, you gonna clean up after

yourself when you have your own family, when you have your own

stuff. See, they don't understand home.

They benefit from. Home you benefit from presents

you benefit from community, but the moment you.

Realize that home is here. What can the the enemy can't

come up in here because because some you you ever walk through

your home? Be like some don't feel some

don't y'all? Smell that?

Just don't. Smell like home, right?

Just. Don't feel.

Like home? What's that?

Sound. Y'all hear that?

That sound will. Never pop off at home.

Hey, hey, DJ, go, go, go check the back door.

Mike, go outside and see who that is creeping around the

backyard. See we don't even we so lost.

We don't even know where home is, what home is.

We wait until we get somewhere. Look, look, look, I'm telling

you when we see the, when we see the sanctuary and then when we.

See whatever sanctuary we. Not gonna act no different.

That's why no matter where Love Quest will go, there's no

difference in the spirit it. No, no, there's no difference in

our gratitude. There's no man.

We've been in some tiny little places, right?

So rain come, wind blow, tents fall down.

We still gonna give him praise Because a storm can't take home.

My house is built on you. Am I talking to somebody?

My house is built on you. My peace is built on you.

My faith is built on you. My hope is built on you.

Come on. So so.

So This is why Jesus will say, if the truth sets you free,

you're free indeed. Not if a deliverance service,

see, because the enemy will come back seven times stronger if he

comes to your, what he call it home and sees that truth is not

in there, then it's an invitation.

Where there's a lack of truth, it's an invitation for life, he

says. Oh, they went to church this

Sunday, but on Monday they didn't put that.

They didn't clean their furniture up.

It's vacant. They didn't they didn't take

notes and meditate on the word. It ain't no oh, they still got

attitude, Are they still? Super sensitive, easily

offended. They didn't.

They didn't change the room around.

See the enemy. Knows this is home.

You don't you think the enemy up in heaven looking for your like

trying to no, no, no, he down here and he's trying to see how

you are furnished if you've been taking.

What the House been prescribing to you.

If we left home through deception and here on earth, we

can return home through truth. I don't return home through

death. I return home truth.

The only death that I should experience to get me home is

dying to the truth that saved me to get back home.

I think one of the greatest deception to sons and daughters.

Is you don't even know. That you got keys.

To the what? Like you on the porch.

With the key in your. Pocket knocking and you like

God, why you won't? Why you won't open the door?

I gave you a key. You ever have a kid yelling from

downstairs or upstairs or mom dad you like boy, you know how

to make toast? You ready?

That's your toaster too. Some of y'all in here don't even

know the access you have so. Whatever, whoever, whenever

throws whatever. At you, you.

Like that's just life. Put it on as your truth, your.

Reality. Not knowing that.

If it's not God's truth, it has no.

Legal right to dig. Roots.

It's. Probably have songs like Firm.

Foundation Why does he. Give us these pictures, he says.

If you build your house on. Saying what?

What house? If you build your house on the

rock, what? What house?

It ain't nothing like, and I've been there, walking in this

world, feel it not at home. It ain't nothing like walking

around in this world, trapped in this body with the spirit of an

orphan. We go back to the one word God

is saying in His hour, and you wonder why He don't care.

Nothing about your stuff cares about you.

You ready? He could give you a few more

practical things. You can't get a job without a

home address. You can't register in school

without a home address. You have no.

Access without an address. Do you know how limited a

homeless person is? No different in the Spirit.

Guys, you better find home and. Get there and get rooted.

Take your. Shoes off, let God be at home,

He said. Abide me abide.

Why is he using these words if? We left home through deception.

Then today you can return home. From.

Truth. That's a bargain.

I left home. And you telling me the the way

back? In is to pick up a key to the

Kingdom. Seek me. 1st.

All these things, my Kingdom and all these.

Things here it is will be added. So why am I focused on the

multiplication in addition when he?

Told me the key to get it. I'm spending more time praying

about what he promised to give me versus obeying what he told

me to do. And I said this Wednesday, and

I'm close here. Some of y'all answer.

Or problems, shall I say. It is not a prayer problem, it's

an obedience. Problem.

You pray, and here's. What's frustrating children?

Is you're mad your prayers? Aren't getting answered, but

what if I told? You they've.

Been answered, but because Mama. Said We going to the mall don't

mean we going right now because what Mama said was after we do,

then we gonna go to the and you, that little kid, that's like

when we going to the mall. And you like OK, let me walk

downstairs and see if the room clean.

I said if it was my mom, I said boy.

I said when the room is clean. Why heaven ain't moving in my

house? 'Cause you ain't moving with

that room he asked you to clean. Heaven is moving you notice what

you said in your. House.

What if I told you what you're? Asking to be moved is in you.

So when when I'm saying you have my attention, it's not like

he's. Coming from somewhere.

No, no, when I'm pausing, giving him my affection, I am.

I'm stirring him up. You ready?

The atmosphere is not in here and I'm trying to get it in

here. No, no, no.

I bring atmosphere and through my worship I release the

atmosphere. This is why we're trying to get

some of y'all to participate because you are a constipated

atmosphere and you're robbing us from what's in you.

If you could just open your mouth and say thank you, Lord,

you've been so good, you've been so kind.

I bless your name. You are holy, You are awesome.

You are Rafa. You are a weight maker.

You are a you are a peacemaker. You are my counselor.

You are my refuge. You are my stronghold.

You are my strength. You are my courage.

You are my power. You are my God.

You are my savior. You are my weight maker.

You are my deliverer. You are my power.

You are my strength. You are my Rafa.

You are my Alpha. You are my maker.

You are the beginning. You are the end.

It is you God. You.

You are. You are my reality.

You are my truth. You are.

I'm not waiting on my neighbor. I got something to offer.

I came here packing. Hey, I'm done.

I'm worshipping. Don't look at me.

God is moving. Open your eyes guys, this is

your moment with God. Come home because when you.

Come home, you can't help but to praise God, Jesus says come.

I already know what's going to happen in this house, this

house, this house, this house, I'm telling.

You within this next year, you're not.

Going to have to beg. People at all to.

Open their mouth. You're.

Not going to have to beg people to show up early.

You're not going to have beg people to stay.

You're not going to have to beg people to lift their hands.

You're not going to Hey, I'll be glad when the days of praise and

worship it does not consist of having to tell you to.

Lift your hands, but we're encouraged by.

But see what would happen if y'all start worshipping before

we came in here. They don't even need have a job.

Who said we need a worship team? Right.

The the way they. See it is this your home?

So you tell me what to do when you guys come out this your.

Home so you the only. Ones that need to be here early.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This is my house. This is my daddy's house.

He's been good to me all week. And I've been anticipating

gathering with my brothers and sisters.

So through my praise, I'm, I am telling them that my God is

good, any good. Holy, holy, holy.

He's the Lord God Almighty. You wonder how we can do this

three times on a Sunday. Because we home.

You sit at home all day how you sit on your couch and watch

Netflix because you home. Ain't nobody telling you to

leave except the person that don't want to see you at home.

I don't know. About you But I'm so happy my

house is full of life. I love men folks.

Was like you excited to come home from Italy.

Absolutely. My home is better than Italy.

See, some of y'all don't like where y'all at?

That's why you would stay somewhere for too long.

Italy ain't got nothing for me. It was amazing.

It was. Powerful, but not more.

Man, I couldn't wait to come here.

Like my purpose is way greater than that vacation.

Y'all way more important like like like did you see what I'm

saying? I was ready to come home, but if

you don't got a home, that's why you could.

Stay out for so long. Right said.

Nobody have to beg you to serve at home, just your house.

But see, we haven't made homes, we've made church members.

So we looking. Where we could be a member?

No, that's why we say welcome home, lift your hands right

where you are. Sons and daughters, sons and

daughters. We have we have a little lunch

at we next next experience. Now I thought about it and it

could easily happen. I don't know, but I was like.

Man, we gonna make these services run into each other

because people from 9:00 AM and 11:30 need to meet their

brothers and sisters. This all I'm coming to my

service time then I'm gonna. Leave and you don't even know

your other brothers and sisters. Your next job can be in the 11.

30 Service. Your husband or your wife can be

in the. So man, feel free, stick around,

hang out, hang out at home. And next experience is only

going to be one hour because we're going to celebrate home.

We're going to fellowship. It's going to be some sandwiches

in the back and, and some juices and berries and whatever else.

And, and we're going to celebrate each other because

that's what brothers and sisters do.

I'm so glad I didn't spend a lot of time visiting churches.

I'm I'm glad God always gave me a home.

So we're going to dismiss, give you a couple of announcements

and we're going to get ready to do it again.

And then at 5:00, we're going to do it again in Vancouver.
