Fight the Good Fight of Finishing Faith - Part 8 (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. Come on, Father, we thank you

for another opportunity to be in your presence.

We thank you for the birth, we thank you for the life, and we

thank you for the death. We thank you for the

resurrection, and we thank you that He is at the right seat on

the right side. All power, all dominion, all

authority in the heavens, above the heavens, in the earth, below

the earth interceding for us. Thank you, and we will not take

it granted the freedom that we have to publicly receive Your

word. We will not take it for granted.

For all those who fought for us to have a local church.

We will not dare sit in your presence in vain through all

that people went through to get us the Word of God.

So we posture ourselves, expecting and knowing that You

would have not brought us here for no other reason but to build

us up, to expose parts of us only to build us up, to expose

pain, to only heal us, to expose depression, to only bring us

joy. And so we sit up.

We lean forward like children before their father, all struck

at your strength, expecting for nothing but edification,

exhortation, and comfort. We rebuke the Devourer now.

He will not steal one word that is sown in our hearts today.

Declare over myself, and I invite anyone who believes this

about themselves, but I declare over myself that I am the

ground. Yes, my heart is ready.

My heart is fixed, it has been tilled, and it is good soil to

sow good seed into. My ears are perked, my eyes are

wide open, and my heart is prepared to hear from you, Lord.

And lastly, we rebuke spirit of error.

Holy Spirit, I yield to you. Any error may come.

I stand corrected and quickened. We will not be misled.

We will not be misguided. In Jesus name, Amen.

Come on, shout out. I'm ready.

Look at your neighbor's cell. I hope so because you was kind

of loud in my ears. So hope it's worth it.

And we want to welcome our online audience.

We want to welcome our online audience.

Many men and. Many women do not finish well

because they don't survive the storms of life.

They manage. What they don't mature, they

elevate. What they don't evolve.

Life is not merely about survival.

Of the fittest, but it's about maturing in your witness.

Realize they're not follower of Jesus or not God.

Has been good to you. Failure is not failing God, but

failure is robbing yourself from experiencing the unconditional,

immovable, unbreakable love of. God.

In order to. Fulfill a self gratifying life

many forfeit experiencing unfailing love.

A selfish life is a failure's life.

You can look good. All the way to the end of your

life. You can be rich the end.

You can impress people until the end.

You can be. Popular until the end.

You could be all things to man and for yourself.

And your family and your. Friends, but at the end in the.

Solitude of your last moments in this life.

It will be you and God conversations reflecting on the

opportunities of your lifetime. What did I do?

What should I've done? Did I live out life to my

fullness? Did I give or take?

Did I love or hate? Did I live free or did I live

bound? Did I get a get rid of a few

links in my chains or did I get rid of them all?

Did I cope or did I get healed? You nor I want sprinkled in the

dialogue of our last. Days conversations of warnings.

To others saying what not to do. You do not want people on the

side of your bed, you holding their hands.

They're holding your hands, you're saying in your weak

voice, warning people if I could have did it over.

Again. You want your last days and your

last breaths to be one of joy and one of peace because you

know that the reason you are on that bad is because your task is

calm. Please.

Am I talking to anybody? If I could have done things

differently, I would have. I could have.

I should have the joys. Of your last moments are laced

with the fruits of our father's. Lips saying well done, not good

and faithful son, you fought the good fight.

You fought the good fight. You persevered.

You preserved lives. You didn't merely survive.

You finish. You didn't.

Just go with the wind. Of life you passed on a heavenly

baton. What's left in your children's

hands is an advanced work of the Father's purpose and plans in

your bloodline. What you passed on to your

children, the work is further along from when you got it from

your Mama. The bloodline has advanced past

the past hurts and pains. You passed on heavenly batons.

You left trails to. Victory inspiration to pursue

me. And evidence that I'm alive.

We need finishers, not mere fighters.

We need more than conquerors, not mortal cowards.

We need sons and daughters, not orphans and slaves.

We need the redeemed of the Lord, not the religious with

swords. We need the vibrant, vigorous,

vivacious, valiant and victorious.

And if that's you? Please rise up.

I speak life over you. I declare every race you are

called to one you will win. Why?

Because it is one. I declare you everything, and

every person behind you will follow the trails of your

victory. They will follow the blueprints

of your master. I declare that any addictions

you were born into, those behind you will not see a trace of it.

I declare victory over your life.

I don't care if it's addiction to to social media, to porn.

I don't care. Addiction in your bloodline be

gone. Slothfulness be.

Gone. God is using you.

To erase traces of failure in your bloodline.

God is using you to erase traces of.

Poverty in your bloodline. Traces of adultery in your

bloodline. God through you will do a new

thing. In your bloodline Jesus name you

may be. Seated, We need fighters

fighting to finish, not fighting to avoid.

Fumbling. Not talking to anybody.

Am I talking to anybody? But don't, don't.

Don't worry about it. Being on the screen.

When it's on the screen. You'll know it's on the screen.

We need fighters fighting to finish, not fighting to avoid

fumbling. You can.

Tell when a team. Or a player is playing not to

lose versus playing to dominate. When I play not to.

Lose, I play. Timid, I second guess myself.

I need to hear God long. I need to wait on the Lord Lord

longer than necessary when I when I'm playing not to lose, I

need all kinds of signs. Sometimes your sign is he did it

before. Can I talk to this side?

Can you turn me up a? Tiny bit piece please please.

I, I, I sometimes the sign is he did it before and then the

testimonies. If he did it before, he doing

again. You are again.

Come on, you are again, I'm not merely looking for a sign that

will conveniently work with my trauma.

A lot of times you need a sign because you're broken.

Not listening. You're not really looking for a

sign or you would listen to testimonies.

Why? How do I know?

This is because to go forward I don't need a sign, I need faith.

And faith comes by what hearing, not a sign the devil gives.

More signs than God do. How do I notice because when?

We're talking about a. Sign we're often.

Looking for something physical or.

Something. That will speak to our

carnality, not our spirit man. What you look at your neighbor?

What you just ask your neighbor what you looking for?

What? What are you looking for?

Hallelujah. So, so be alert to all these

things and overcome every form of evil.

Be alert, alert, alert aware. That's why we fasting, because

fasting helps us be what alert. Eating good helps you be what

alert getting in your word help you what be alert prayer helps

you be what alert right purging distracted company helps you

stay what alert so be alert to all these things Here we go

shout out overcome a little bit better overcome every what's

left after every see we went over this Wednesday night every

after every there is nothing every means what every this is

very important. This is very important to a

church that is constantly looking to tread the line

between the world and the Kingdom.

God makes it very clear, if we're not from this world, then

our spiritual, our mental and our physical diet is not of this

world. So what the world needs to cope,

we don't need to cope. What the world needs for joy, we

don't need for joy. What the world needs for

contentment, we don't need for contentment.

But we're constantly like God. Can I do this and stay safe?

And then we argue with believers.

And call them religious, because they're not.

Worldly. I'm just saying, wait, if you

want to be smart, like always, put that word back up there

because the next word is very clear.

It's not I am good ground. It's the scripture.

Boom, OK, I'm going to read. Come on.

I don't know why it didn't transfer over my highlights.

I don't know. Y'all got, I don't know.

We got to figure that out. But I got a lot of stuff

highlighted and then they didn't just they didn't get it.

I don't know, Maybe y'all downloaded it too early.

I think they downloaded it before we told them to download

it. They were excited to read my

message before it was preached. OK, OK, OK.

All right, All right, they like I got to work today,

so I'm just going to get PT message and do my studies

myself. Amen.

Look, so be alert to all. Look, we got to make sure only

people that have Android serve in pro presenter because they

can't be air dropping the message.

OK, they supposed to be air dropping.

Yeah. Andrew, we need you over there

to pro presenter. Amen.

I'm just playing that Andrew too.

Too strong to use that mouse. He'll break that mouse.

So so so be alert somebody shout out be alert to all these things

and overcome what every form of evil you didn't just say

overcome or overcome evil. Give it got a form of it if it

could be mistaken identity. God is calling us to our he is

warning Timothy. Paul is warning Timothy.

If anybody and I love why God used Paul because he was extreme

dark. If anybody know dark is Paul

anybody was deceived. It's Paul, he said.

Hey, stay away from the farm already.

The small foxes. Why are you even playing with

it? That's the hook.

All right? Stop, stop.

Don't. Start, don't start.

Keep playing. Worship music.

OK what? Why?

Would you even play like trusted.

That's what I loved and I'm I'm a pastor that just I'm not

talking to you from theological seminary.

I'm preaching out my life. I haven't been there and man the

form of godliness, but denying the true power.

Here's the true power. I don't need that to have joy.

Come on. True power is in my rights over

mind. I could have way more fun than

you. It says overcome what every form

of evil or every form of ungodliness carry in your heart,

not place. In your heart.

Not just come Sunday and. Put the word in there.

But on Monday, carry it, Carry it into your meetings and y'all

couples carry it into your little stinky arguments.

Put me in my wife's house. Think he wants to carry the

word? Into it all.

Don't place it in there. And then put it down and not

utilize it, he says I hide. The word in my heart so that I

might not sin. Carry in your heart the passion

of your calling. You got so many.

People complaining about their calling.

What? Cool.

Put the veil back over you between.

You and the Lord and stay on the other side.

He didn't tear the veil, so you could just keep.

Doing you. He didn't tear the veil.

You should repent complaining about your call.

Have you ever thought who are you to be called?

You know, some people don't get no.

Phone calls in a day. Don't nobody call them no.

Nobody text messaged them. That some people ain't heard

their name called in years. You got the nerves to.

Sit here and be like. God you sure what if God just be

like you know what I changed my mind.

Nah, I thought I was sure, but since you unsure, what if God

was like us though? But still, but still God, What

if he came down to our level and we questioned?

He like, you know what, don't. Question me since you don't

believe in me. Forget you.

I know who I am. I got other.

Friends, I ain't got time. For you?

No. You a Sinner.

I don't want to use you. You filthy, You nasty.

You slept around last night. You was watching porn.

You drink too much. You still smoke.

You be cussing people out. I don't hang out with people

like you, let alone use people. Like you, we got the audacity to

delay, to continue to reason in the name of seeking.

Now you're not seeking, you're delayed.

It's like somebody asked you a question you wasn't ready for.

You like, huh? What you say?

Hey, hey, get out. Come on.

Get off of there. Get off of there.

Get off of there. Nah.

What you say, what you say, what you say, he says.

Your heart. The passion of your calling as a

church planter or whatever he called you to be some of y'all

the way you read the script you like this spiritual ain't for me

because I ain't no church planter.

I ain't no evangelist. I ain't no church planter.

So Second Timothy ain't for me, no.

Of your calling as. A blank as a husband, as a wife,

as a Co worker, as a son, as a daughter and fulfill your

ministry. Calling full feel it.

Fulfill it. Fulfill it.

You know, fulfilling ministry. Brings healing to your life.

Because all my. Provision is in God's vision for

my life, all right. And now the time.

Is fast approaching for my release from this.

Life and I am ready to be offered as a.

Listen to his conversation at the end.

He's. Equipping at the end and.

He's at the end saying I'm finished, come on, what to get

to the? End and.

Say it makes sense that it's y'all didn't.

Hear me. Come on.

To get to the end and say it makes sense, it's the end, I

have nothing else to do. How many people leave with that

confidence? Jesus, 33, it's finished.

I have nothing else to say. He showed that when it wasn't

time, he had a grace to escape. So when it was time, he

surrendered to the end come. On and I think a lot of times in

this society, Lord help me, I think the greatest trauma or the

greatest wound death can give is when someone dies before they

finish. It doesn't matter if they're too

young like what if they were too young but they finished and for

us in the world, when someone goes, we just miss presents.

It's about us and there's some traumatic experiences and

there's things we'll never understand right there's young

kids who never got got life started.

We'll never understand until we see the Lord and if he answers

those questions. But what I do understand is

every funeral. I've done a lot of weddings, but

I've also done a handful of funerals.

And what I see funerals as I remember Preet does, speaking at

my grandmother's funeral, and I was like, the message wasn't

about. Her, she was finished.

I didn't have to talk about her because people.

Knew her work. The message at a.

Funeral is to the people. Living.

That's why Jesus said let the dead bury the dead.

What you doing? What does this person here mean

to you? Because when a seed goes into

the ground, spiritually speaking, but also physically,

it actually produces a harvest. When Grandma went to be with the

Lord, she handed off a baton. My question to the audience at

that funeral was, did you? See her?

When she. Left instead of trying to snatch

pick people. Back in to the temporary.

Are you? Catching what wasn't needed in

their next life. He said.

I fought an excellent fight, I finished my full course with all

my might and I've kept my heart full of.

Faith, it's nothing like. When you see your child.

Finish their plate for one. If you cook the meal you like.

That must have been good. And then there's some meals your

kids look at and taste and they're like.

Full course, excellent fight, never quit.

I failed but didn't quit. I finished my full course with

all my mics and I've kept my heart full of faith.

I would like you guys. To say this with me, but I'm

gonna say it first. I am a fighter, fixed, focused.

And fortified, full of faith, fanning the flames of my

furnace, facing my mountains, flourishing through adversity,

always finishing, fiercely fulfilling the call, not

flailing in fear, but fashioned to His will.

I am fascinated with the with my Father.

With the mind. Pro presenter.

Put that extra word in there, Father.

All right, so you could choose my father or the father.

I'll put that there for the bilingual people out for people

that want that speak different languages.

You could say the OR mine, OK, this is Italian and this is OK,

You get what I'm saying? All right?

I'm diverse, OK? I'm diverse.

All nations. OK.

All right. Don't let it trip you up.

This is just This is English. OK, All right.

Ready. Let's read.

I am a fighter. Fix focus.

And fortify full of faith fanning.

The flames of my furnace facing my mountains, flourishing.

Through adversity, always finishing fiercely.

Fulfilling the call, not flailing in fear, but fashion to

his will. I am fascinated with my father.

Man, man, y'all hear what? Y'all hear this?

You spoke this over your life. I am a fighter.

I am fixed. I am focused and fortified.

In other words, I cannot be moved.

I am full of faith, fanning the flames of my furnace, my heart

facing my mountains, flourishing through adversity, always

finishing fiercely fulfilling the call, not flailing in fear,

but fashion to His will. I am fascinated with my father.

Hallelujah. So let's keep focus.

Stick with me. We read these slides last week

in Philippians 3, he says in 1516.

So let's keep focus on that goal.

I don't know if a lot of believers understand the goal.

I think our goal for so long has been when we all see King Jesus,

not heaven on earth. It's been life after death.

Let's stay on it, he says. He says.

Stick with me, friends, keep. Track of those you see running

the same. Course headed for this same.

We ain't got time for distracted.

Look, look, look, look, look. There's some folks you got to

talk to I mean you got to talk to if you got a distracted wife,

guess what? Unfortunately, you got to keep

talking to her. You know what I'm saying?

You got the distracted husband, you got to keep talking to him.

You got distracted kids, you got to keep talking to him.

But there is a contextualizing your communication.

I will not let my children steal my joy or my purpose.

I got to love you. I got to feed you, I got to, I

got to steal disciple you. But even then, if you don't want

to be discipled, I will shut my mouth to you and pray for you,

right? Some of you in this room let

people steal your joy, your focus too easy.

Love is not a permission or a command to surrender to the

enemy's plans working through your loved ones.

So if you got that uptight grumpy spouse that just want to

stay grumpy, guess what you have a right to do.

Let them stay grumpy. Stank face.

You know what in this? Season.

We're not going to even. Ask right, there's a difference.

Between I can pick up on my spouse if they're going through

something versus I wish you would say something to me where

they where you say good morning and good morning or they little

snap. You're a little biting, right?

Once you detect they bite. It.

Like babe, I'm about to go to the store.

And why are you leaving? Nehemiah says I can't come down

remember that. Anybody remember that?

Last week he said I can't come down, shout out, I can't come

down. Should the work come to a

standstill. I love this.

I love I love the tone of this because he's like, it's not

gonna stop, right? I'm committed to finish.

So if anything gonna pop off, it's just gonna come to a what,

standstill? He said.

Why should the work come to a standstill?

Just so I can come. To talk to you, to complain, to

pity party, to be mean to Auger, right?

Why should I come down? Is there anything right now you

can? Think of that.

You came down from the work and you was mad you came down.

Here it is. It's the good stuff though.

You got a. Friends like can we please?

I'm just going through it. Can we just go get something to

eat tomorrow? Well.

Where are we going to go because we fasting?

Dear y'all, go again fasting? And you should.

Be a real friend and you should say you.

Should try fast and that's why you in the mess you win.

Say that's love. Say that's love.

Say that's love. Say love you right, Love you

right, just so. Can come.

Down to see you. Four times they sent and four

times I sent. Back he didn't just get.

Shot at, he shot. Back say shoot back.

Come on, tell your neighbor, tell your neighbor.

Shoot back. I know some of you.

Why would you say shoot in a day and age like this?

No shoot back. Shoot back.

Why? Because I'm taking a stance, I

won't be intimidated, I won't be moved, I won't be distracted, I

won't be destroyed. I won't be pumped.

I won't be a quitter. I won't be.

I won't be intimidated. I won't be moved.

I won't be distracted. I won't be destroyed.

I won't be pumped. I won't be a quitter.

I won't be. I won't be intimidated.

I won't be moved. I won't be distracted.

I won't be destroyed. I won't be pumped.

I won't be a quitter. I won't be.

I won't be intimidated. I won't be moved.

I won't be distracted. I won't.

Be destroyed. I won't be.

Bumped. I won't be a quitter.

I won't be. Just somebody got to get this in

a spirit. Whatever you walking through, I

don't care what the devil is going through bringing you

through. I don't care if you fighting

sickness. I don't care if you got a

doctor's report. I don't care if you don't know

what's going on. I don't care if you low on

funds. I won't be intimidated.

I won't be moved. I won't be distracted.

I won't be destroyed. I won't be pumped.

I won't be a quitter. I won't be shout out.

I won't be. Why?

Because I'm casting the whole of your my care.

We'll end right here, casting the whole of your care.

Oh, what's left after all your anxieties.

Oh, what's left after all your worries?

What's left after all your concerns?

Shout out once. I love this word right here

because why you keep doing it over?

Why are we here again? Can we just in this in this

season once and for all it for he can't share it with me for he

cares for you. Say it again for he cares for

you. Shout it at your neighbor.

Affectionately. And he cares about you

watchfully. I don't know about you, but I'm

like, God's watching me. God's looking at me and I'm

looking back. Y'all ever hear rain before?

Because some of y'all look shook right now.

It's just it's just water. We're doing baptism today.

We sang about the rain. It's coming.

Like come on, what you expect? OK, come on, guys.

Come on Canada, we're easily distracted and then when the sun

come out, we're going to be like, oh, let's go to the one

beach with sand in Vancouver. Oh Jesus, all right, we need to

finish y'all Help me land this. Be well balanced.

Temperate sober of mine. Be vigilant and cautious at all

times. They're that we're going in all

times, all times, all times. I'm on all times.

I'm a witness all times. Oh, the way I read this is I

just. Kind of put pieces together, he

says. Pray without ceasing that means.

All times, he says. Be thankful at all times.

All times. So when he says be sober of mine

at all times, then I can say that being sober at all times.

Of mind is a form of gratitude and.

Prayer, when I make sure that I'm in a position that I'm

always, not just in here, but always ready to respond, I am

saying God, thank you. Like how I'm going to pray while

I'm driving because I can't close my eyes.

You ready for that enemy of yours?

That enemy of yours, the devil roams around.

Like a lion roaring, say, roaring in fierce hunger,

seeking someone. Why someone and not you all?

Someone. Every.

Individual needs to hear this. You are connected to a line full

of people that are depending on your yes and your I do and your

finish. You will hand.

The baton off to somebody. Somehow.

But what you hand them will matter.

And it will matter how you fight.

It will matter how you stay focused.

It will matter what you stay fixed on.

It will miss. It will matter who's your who

you pledge allegiance to. Everyone will pass something on.

My question to you is what you? Passing on, he's looking for.

Someone in the bunch? You notice they don't go for the

whole crowd. Ain't never seen no lion.

Going after all the wildebeests? No, you just chill.

He just chill. He has a.

Specific appetite and he loves he he.

Has a palette for Wanderers. He has a.

Palette for church hoppers. He has a palette.

For doubters, he like I ain't fooling with that wildebeest

because it might kick me. They know that wildebeest

confident. Look at the way they're running.

I'm not fooling with that wildebeest, but he always looks

for that one that just. Kind of you can.

Kind of see when that animal decides to sabotage the journey.

They just all run. Everybody is running this way

and then it's just one that's just like me, I'm going this

way. It's not like the lion got up in

there and just like it was like, no, over here, boy, over here.

It's just one, just everybody. And you, you ever watch the show

you like here, get a body here, get a body here.

And you're like, no, is that you?

And then somewhere you pick back up down the road because the

enemy couldn't kill you, but you.

Come back to the pack. Wounded.

What's wrong with you? Oh no.

And then it's always a. Hating reeler beast.

That's what you get for running. What you doing back here?

And then the. Wilderbeest be gossiping.

They saw you limping back and they're like, Oh no, here we go.

This is for you. The Bible says withstand him

withstanding is not running, it's standing.

And I kind of like it's like stand winning toe to toe,

withstand the enemy, withstand your mountain withstand.

Be. Firm in faith, be clear, be

specific, be immovable, be unwavering against his onset.

I love this. Because he only.

Has an onset. He only has an attempt to knock.

You off because he has. No finishing.

Power I'm gonna get to. This in the next.

Service the enemy has no. Finishing.

Power. He only has pass codes.

He only has past codes. And I'm gonna get colds past

codes. He, he, he knew you.

He knows your bloodline. He only has codes to the

bloodline. And that's why when you decide

to rid yourself of bloodline things, he has to start all over

again because you're producing a new strand.

Is there any everybody in here that is the beginning of a new

strand? Come on.

God's doing a new thing in your life.

God is doing a fresh thing in your life.

There is new wine in your life. Come on, come on, shout out.

I'm the fresh strand. The enemy has to come fresh with

me. No more old tricks.

Come on, lift your hands. Come on, man.

Come on. There's some of you.

This is kind of passive. There, there.

There's there's stuff you got to pick up and walk in.

There's things you need to do before you have babies, before

you have babies. Get some victories.

Before you start a life with somebody, overcome some wounds

and some trauma so that you don't pass that stuff off, come

to the altar, heels set free and delivered because God is doing a

new thing. Old things have passed away.

Come on, old things have passed away come on, lift your hands.

Some of you in here, some of your fear comes because you know

all too well what your. Parents and family have been

through. Some of your greatest.

Fears is, is this going to happen to me?

Will I fail? Will I fall?

I'm here to tell you, Nope, you will stand.

You will. Stand.

Firm you will have the courage to vote as you ready God is also

going to. Surround you with fighting with

sparring partners. God is about to switch out those

failure conversations and bring some friends that know how to

walk by faith and not by sight. I don't know who I'm talking to,

but there's someone in here. You ready for a new friend?

You ready for a new group of friends?

You ready for new conversations? Come on, open your mouth.

I'm feeding you the word. You take the word, you feed it

and speak it yourself. Over your life, I'm just trying

to live. Passively and just whatever

happens in life and ohh I'm. Going to do this little.

Small little humble thing over here No, no, no, no, no.

I'm going to do whatever God can I help you believers in here

There's. Nothing God does that's small.

OK, OK, look, it may even be small in comparison to and most

of your small is in comparison to what you think big is.

But somebody's big. To somebody, somebody else's big

is too small. How dare us when God says take

small things. How dare you when God actually

took one might from a man? He said, I'm gonna give it to

the one who did much with it. How dare you when God says if

you be faithful over the little things, I'm going to bless you

with much. So here how if you don't want

big, don't be faithful over little.

Big ain't got nothing to do with you.

It's all about him. Dare us pick and choose what?

We say yes to and be bold in no God has great things for you.

Why? Why is it big?

I don't think it's big Elder Roseanne, in the way we measure.

I think that your bloodline has taken too many losses and what

God's trying to do is he is trying to make up the

difference. He's trying to get your.

Bloodline to where? So it's.

Big because some this is on your.

Shoulders right now. So it's big for you, but if

every person in their bloodline does their portion.

I serve a big God. Don't tell me he's small when

he's with the sea, when he shut lions mouths.

Don't stop singing about a big God, but then try to live small.

Get out of here. False humility under my feet.

Don't don't mistake big with flashy.

I rebuke the haters on mega churches.

If you don't like mega churches, you don't like Paul or Jesus or

none of them. Oh, you mean a big.

Building, yes. There's some people who misuse

power and influence, but what the heck, Give me 5000 people

with vision, give me 5000 disciples and tell show me what

we could do with a city. Yeah.

Give me give me 5000 givers, give me 5000 worshippers, give

me 5000 healthy. Whole people get Give me some

show, give me some soldiers. I'll take 5000, I'll take four,

I'll take 10. And anybody that know me, I'm

not. I'm the same with five as I am

over 5000. But I am not about to shut the

door or ask God to move through my little old mind.

God, here I am. I'm faithful over Upper Room.

We're faithful in the garage. We've been here three years.

And if God decides to move, it does exceeding abundantly.

Above all, we. Who are we to be like?

Oh, you. Shouldn't have what?

But then in that he. Feels broken people see we made

big about US versus that. Many people getting gospel.

So then us here, because I'm Canadian, we look at other

countries and throw stones and we don't understand cultural

context or nothing. We see certain cultures we're

jewelry and things of that nature.

Well, you have everything taken from you and then when you

finally get something, for some people that jewelry is just like

I made it. And two generations back with

slavery, we don't even understand cultural context and

we think it's just flashy. Not victory because I wear

bloodstones. No, those 3. $100 boots.

My Jordan's only 210. We start getting to other.

People's lives and see. How you needed to know God in

your context is different than how some people needed gyro.

Some. People need gospel on what to do

with money. They need to understand giving.

Principles. There are some who manipulate

that, but man, you coming from White Rock, you don't understand

a pastor's call. Who has to preach to a room full

of single moms? Whose lost sons?

That's a different passion. That's a different zeal, that's

a different. And you like why they jumping

and why they loud and why they shouting?

Well, have you heard the screams of a mother holding her?

Child with wounds in his chest. In the middle of the street.

So if you can understand the pain I've experienced, when God

finally heals me, my shout can't be quieter than the shout of my

pain. This has nothing to do.

We culture why we shout, why we dance, and why we know.

It's a revelation. Of what God has, really.

Done. And when?

When the revelation get in your sinews.

When the. Revelation, get in your.

Bones, that's called dancing. You ready?

I don't want to contain myself. He's been too good.

Because I didn't. I didn't contain myself in the

club. I didn't contain myself when I

was getting drunk and smoking. Now all of a sudden I'm holy.

And holy means tone it down. Show me in the Bible where holy

means tone it down. And then go and tear up.

Every Tabernacle God built. Go look at what he asked to be

carried in gold. Stop it.

Well, that's God. OK Joseph Rogue but what?

Why y'all got so much talk to Abraham he had to give stuff

away. What are you talking about?

God looks at the heart, not the chain, not the Air Jordans, not

the hairstyle. Be quiet.

If you want to be basic, you be basic.

Just make sure you're basic and keeping God out of what he wants

to do fully in your life. Make sure it's not false

humility and make sure you're not clothed in what you was

raised in, but you're clothed in what you were created for.

We have to do that at a church for all nations because there's

going to be people coming from countries and all they know is

Kingdom and they're going to walk in here and we are not

going to shame nobody out their three piece suit.

We're not going to shame nobody out of their gold chain.

We're not going to shame nobody out of nothing.

We're not going to shame nobody that roll up in the Lambo.

Please roll up in the Lambo. Absolutely.

Lord, we call in Lambos. Absolutely they need to be.

Saved. They need the.

Gospel. They need the.

Gospel. And I'm glad that God could.

Trust this church with lambos that we not gonna be like, wow,

man, I don't need your Lambo, You need the Lamb of God.

Come on. I don't need a Lambo.

You need the lamb. No.

Come on, come on, I look go. Look at your neighbor, say.

I kind of love my church. I kind of love my.

Church. All right.

Stop. Stop.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for your love and your

mercy. In Jesus name, thank you for the

word. I thank you that did.

The devourer is rebuked and we will be fruitful over the words

you sown today. I thank you for an anointing to

stand and fight, not just merely fight because there's some stuff

But may we fight to let some stuff go and let us fight the

good fight and run the ordained race that you make it the glory

in Jesus name. Hey man, if you received
