Wonder Wednesday: Living Under an Open Heaven: Part 2 (Pastor Terrance)

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, lift your hands all over the room.

Some of you in here sound like some finishers.

Yes. Lag.

Last leg of the 1st. Yeah, like we on the last leg.

And I'm not just talking about the building.

I don't. I can't see everything, but I

feel like from Love Quest's birth to now, the Lord is

bringing things to finish and he's closing some chapters and

we're about to step into a new dimension, new mindset, new

wisdom, new level of relationships, new level of

impact, new level of influence. Amen.

Amen. If you're a finisher, you know,

you know what I'm talking about. If you if you got new eyes, you

can see what I'm talking about. Come on, I see some finishes.

I don't maybe you wasn't here Sunday, but I feel overflow from

Sunday. Maybe you, maybe you just a

Sunday, a Sunday worshipper. But I.

See. I feel overflow in this place.

Come on, the river's running wild.

Come on, the river's running wild.

Come on the river's running wild.

The river. It's running.

Wow. Come on, come on, Say Lord.

Thank you for my new sights. I won't mess it up this time.

Come on. I'm not going back.

Yeah, my pass is over. Come on, my stupid days are

over. Look at your neighbors say, did

you really mean that or you just said it because PT said it?

I I really, I really mean my stupid days are over.

Come on, say I'm I'm maturing. My default settings are

changing. Come on.

I'm not responding no more immaturely.

I'm. Come on.

You're not going to get me to respond over that.

Come on, come on. I can't respond over that no

more. You're not getting my energy.

Come on. You're not getting my energy on

that one. You're not getting my energy.

You're not going to turn me up for nothing.

That ain't worth turning up for. Come on, I'm turning up only for

victory. I'm turning up because God has

broken me through. I'm turning up for household

salvation. I'm turning up in the name of

Jesus because the Kingdom is here and now.

I'm not turning up over lies. I'm not turning up over

deception. I am fearfully and wonderfully

made. I am a son of God.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

You know love longer will get my energy Satan, 'cause I can see

color again no longer will you pull the.

Wool over my my eyes. Hey man, go go have a seat.

Go have a seat. Go have a seat.

Like my pastor back home used to say, my excited is excited.

That's real exciting, yeah, because once I was flying and.

Now I can't. See.

When I you know how I know Love Quest

is under open heaven? Because we write songs like

that. Oh man, y'all ready on this good

Wednesday? I didn't even know it was

Wednesday. I thought this was just the day

the Lord has made. Yeah I know it seemed like

Sundays is the day you supposed to act a fool.

But I think when you get revelation and then every time

you think of the goodness of God, he deserves the praise.

Yeah. Father, we thank you tonight for

your power. Nothing less.

Lord, I want to leave here changed.

You ready? Lord, I want to leave here

changed, not just challenged. I don't want to just walk out of

here. Oh, OK, Lord, I hear you.

No, tonight he ain't just going to hear you.

I'm changing for you. I'm drawing near to you.

This is the moment in my life where I come against my thought

life, that every part of my thought life that does not align

with you, Lord, I come against it now.

I stand boldly in the midst of adversity.

For you are worthy of it all. I come against the spirit of

error. Thank you, Lord, that you

quicken us to hear right now. Right now.

I declare I have ears to hear right now.

Holy Spirit, help me pull my focus into the moment right now.

And we declare that faith is rising right now.

We declare my soul is prospering right now.

We declare that my eyes are in. My sight is getting clearer

right now. We declare that you are working

miracles right now. We declare that you are turning

it around in our family right now.

You're bringing that son, that daughter, that friend, that

coworker back to you right now. Lord, You are intervening in the

challenges and walls and speed bumps in our lives and our

children's lives. Lord, right now, Holy Spirit,

have your way in this place tonight.

We will forever give you the praise in Jesus name, Amen.

Amen, if you. Love God, truly love God, then

you obey him, but not just his instructions, but his ways.

Zelda John. I come to believe that people

wait to obey until they get instructions.

So they think they're not obedient because God ain't asked

them nothing, not understanding. If you're not living in his

ways, you are living in disobedience.

So when you have a chance to love.

And you don't. You're living in.

Disobedience. I'm not talking to anybody,

right? We are.

So even in church, how we act, we, we don't start worshiping

until the worship team come out. Then sometimes we don't start

worshiping. Then we wait to them to tell us

to stand up instead of me. Standing is a response to His

presence, not their instructions.

Come on, we have a responsibility to do everything

it takes to become, to stay in a state of awareness of His

presence. Pray without ceasing in all

things. Give things.

Why? Because no matter what happens,

the enemy wants to come. Trials come, temptations come.

You ready? So that it could take your

awareness of His presence. This is why he says, I can give

you peace in all situations, but in all situations, guess what

you're going to have to do? Be thankful.

See, Thanksgiving keeps me aware of His goodness.

And if I'm aware of his goodness, then I'm aware of his

presence because his glory is his goodness.

Moses said, Lord, show me your glory.

What did the Lord show him? His goodness?

Y'all don't want glory? If you want a glory, you'll

shout over His goodness, because His goodness is His glory and

His glory is His goodness. They don't get no gooder than

that, right? They don't get no gooder than

that, right? And what the enemy tries to do

is take our awareness of His presence.

Why? Jesus tells us, guess what?

Fix your eyes. Fix your eyes.

I don't care what my body is feeling, my eyes is fixed.

I don't care who's distracting me over here.

My eyes is fixed, right? I'm focused on the mark.

I'm focused on the higher calling.

And So what I have to understand it is my duty.

So, so now when I understand some of these Kingdom principles

and keys, then you not, I don't It's not a struggle to get to

church because getting to church is a part of me staying aware.

I come to church because I'm aware, and then when I come

because I'm aware, he increases my awareness.

Ain't it cool? The power of being in God's

house is because you hanging out with people that's aware of the

same thing. Just think about the power of a

group of people that's aware. Of the same thing, good or bad.

So if I love God, then I obey him.

Not just His instructions, but His way.

Somebody say His ways. We said this last week to live

under an open heaven. It's less about favor and more

about fervor, less about blessings and more about the

blessing. It's less about inviting Him and

more about involving Him. Because sometimes you notice how

we invite him but don't involve Him.

It's almost like we asked the Lord.

Just sit next to us and if I need you, I'll call on you.

You can come to my house, God, but but when?

If somebody ticked me off, you won't have to let me handle

this. Less about soaking and more

about surrender and how many times we soak for feeling.

Less about abounding. It's more about abiding, see,

because I'm not always abounded technically, but I can't always

be what? Abide.

And it's less about God seeing you, and it's more about you

seeing God. You know how many people God see

everybody? You know how many people see

God. And that's the problem.

You ready? The difference between you and

someone else getting further in the things of God is you keep

your eyes on him and somewhere they don't.

You watch a race. Everybody speak this to you.

God is again. We just so happen to be a part

of a time where God is again sending seasons of open heavens

or outpouring with more and more frequency.

See what I believe here at Love Quest is God has found a group

of people that will keep the fire lit.

And if you keep the fire lit, then we can see more and more of

God moving. It's not that he ain't moving,

He's just looking for a people to move amongst.

The devil don't have no power if he can't influence nobody.

All spiritual entities are illegal on Earth without.

Permission from the ones who have permission to be here.

The heavens are the heavens, but God made vessels so.

When you like the devil just acting up in my life.

OK, well where are you letting them?

Because he actually has no permission.

What door have you left open? Because he actually has no

permission when investigators come to.

Like a crime scene, this is a very important detail.

It makes the difference in the investigation.

Rather it was a break in versus it looks like an inside job.

You got to fight a little bit different.

If there's no broken glass, there's no broken hinges, and it

looks like somebody had access. So now now as an investigator I

need more and more evidence because I can't say you broke in

and rather you broke in or was let in or the door was unlocked

or you gave the garage code to an X and you never changed it

when y'all broke up. Can make all the difference in

the world of how I can charge you.

So when you go to God, they say, look at my mess, God's like.

Well, the devil didn't break in. So we can't bombard hell, we

can't charge the devil on this one.

I mean, I get you that that like I, I do fight your battles, but

it's hard to fight this case when you participated.

So we got to get you to kick out who you let in.

How we going to get rid of the lie you let in?

Because that lie LED down the trail of elder thoughts.

Now you won't. God Lord free my mind.

Pray for me y'all OK, but I don't have I don't I don't

really I can't get rid of the thoughts you gave authority.

It's why when it comes to deliverance it does take

participation. See the lunatic needed all out

Jesus intervention because the lunatic crazy he can't

participate in his deliverance. He don't have a mind, but some

of y'all that be walking up in here and you asking deliverance

from stuff. You put your own handcuffs on

and you want deliverance for that.

OK, cool. I can pray for you.

But are you going? Are you willing to now take the

cuffs off, close the door and the windows, help me kick the

enemy out with you, and then you're going to do the work from

this day forward. When Elijah started his

ministry, First King 17 one, you don't got to go there.

Israel had reached the pinnacle of ungodliness in many ways, and

at that time it was worse, the worst times, not because of

economy, not because of politics, but spiritual

spirituality. We're in that time, we're in

that time where OK, the world is the world, but the church is

also the church is thriving in many ways.

Don't get me wrong, God's up to something.

But but if I if I take the Scripture that says well, when

one is down, then we all down one cry, we all cry, 1 laugh, we

all laugh. If one get blessed, we all

bless. Well, if one lukewarm, that

impacts the temperature of the whole church, and there's more

than one lukewarm. And this is what I do know.

The gospel is going forth, but the amount of people, the

laborers is still few. See, my eyes aren't moved by the

frequency of worship music that's going forth.

There's a lot of worship music going forth and there's a lot of

people coming out of. About their faith in Jesus and

they're using their platforms, but there's also a whole lot of

mixture going on, whole lot of drinking and smoking in the

church. It's a whole lot of stuff we are

permitting and OK with. So how?

How, how how how? How much territory are we really

going to take back when the world is so in the church?

There's great spiritual darkness in Elijah's day, but the Lord

came up on Elijah in great power and supernatural provision.

Great power. And a part of the signs and

wonders that followed Elijah was provision.

Provision. Somebody say provision.

I want you to know, Love quest, that we are seeking something

that God desires to be our reality.

There's got to be places in the Earth where people can guarantee

no matter what day it is. If they show up, God will be

there no matter who preaching, no matter who's singing, no

matter if it's raining, no matter if it's five people

there, 5000 people there. It don't matter if I, if I find

the double river, wherever those people are, I, I can get, you

know, the restaurants, you know them places that you can

guarantee every time you show up, it's gonna have the same

consistent taste. And that's why restaurants, some

of them are so good. No matter where you go, no

matter what chain you go to, you can guarantee steak going to be

the same every time. Flavors going to be the same

every time. Hospitality going to be the same

every time. It's going to be, it's always

going to be a great experience. God's building these places in

the earth where tangible proof of heaven on earth can be seen

in our time, but not just in the building when we gather, but

signs and wonders follow you wherever you go.

In the church building, in the city, in the nation.

Boldness is increasing upon some.

We are the portal through which God not only blesses us and

those who are within our reach, but we are the portal in which

God also makes us a blessing. It's not just us getting

blessed, but I think Jesus greatest blessing was he was a

blessing that's living in the overflow, say living in the

overflow. There is no open heaven without

an open mind. I'll go through a few things

from last week just so we are tracking, but there is no open

heaven without an open mind. We looked at things let Nope,

Nope, don't, don't go ahead of me, please.

We we remember that we thought we was coming here to find out

that an open heaven was all about monetary things pouring

out or like signs and wonders, like miracles.

So when someone is healed, the heavens just boom, opened.

And I guess when those things aren't pouring out, this is

where songs are birthed and this is where prayers are birthed,

where we're just asking God to open up.

You ask people and it. Seem like when I'm praying

nobody hear me. It seem like nobody's home.

Hello. Oh God, Gabriel, somebody.

But here's what. A new one for you is we need to

locate God if we are going to walk with God.

We don't even know where you at. We grew up praying like this

every time we worship and then don't look down because that's

where what is hell then? It's good.

We do hell under my feet, it's under my feet.

OK, it's good. These analogies and these

visuals are good, but why do we still run into not being able to

locate God? Everybody has prayed a prayer

like God don't hear him. Everybody's prayed a prayer like

God's far off. Tons of worship leaders have

come up here and invited God here in theory.

I get it, but I feel like if we're going to do things that

paint pictures for non believers or unchurched people, at least

the people that are ushering and discipling and leading need to

be anchored in the reality that I walked in here with Jesus.

I'm inviting them here for you because you ain't aware that

he's here. I'm not walking out here

inviting you. I walk.

I wouldn't walk out here if he wasn't walking out here with me.

Every time I come from behind that veil, I'm walking out with.

Jesus, you gonna drive all the way to church listening to

worship music, then got the nerves to come in church and

bite him here. Where was he?

In the car, right? And when we understand the

responsibility we have with our mouths.

All right, all right. We need to locate God if we're

going to walk with God. Look at this.

Let's check this out. When you guys look, look at this

with me and see see what you think.

If he's just won three every somebody shout out every now

that wasn't a shout every Now I need to feel like you almost

blew a blew a vocal cord or something.

Come on, every, every spiritual blessing.

Somebody tell me what? Every can you, can you pull it

off? Because people still reading,

they're not really listening. They still reading.

All these smart people, all these Bereans.

All right, What is every meaning, huh?

What's left after every huh? You, you got a different answer.

Somebody over here, oh, she said thing is after every Amen.

So more every. That's good.

That's good. Somebody say thing.

OK, every, this is awkward. Every spiritual blessing,

somebody say blessing. Oh, wait a minute.

This couldn't possibly talk about what I was talking about

because I'm not talking about spiritual blessings.

I'm talking about like that, like a house, like I'm talking

about a car, like when I think I open heaven, I'm talking about

like Lord or the breakthrough like come through for me.

I need a job. Every spiritual blessing in the

what in the what? One more time in the What has

what? What does already mean?

This happened. It's done.

Finished. It's finished.

It's done. Every spiritual blessing in the

heavenly What realm has already what been?

OK, already been. It's very important.

Take it off the screen. Take it off the screen.

Every spiritual blessing have already been OK, let's just go

all the way back to the beginning, the Genesis one start

off with and God made man and formed him out the dust.

What part of you was created first before body was formed the

spirit and the what OK, so God in first first chapter he said

let us make man in our image. He couldn't make you out of

anything else but him. And we know according to

Scripture that God is spirit. So if there ain't nothing to

speak, if it's not a spirit form, then there's nothing to

form. So God is spirit.

Those that worship him must worship him.

We know that. Scripture.

So then everything in Genesis One was the spirit forming, and

we see in Genesis 2 then he boom, made man out of the dust

of the earth. And then after he formed this

body, what did he do next? He what?

One more time He what? One more time, he what?

He breathes away, He breathed himself within us.

And what part of that is US? OK, hold on.

We try part what beings? So in the beginning it was our

spirit. Then we see he clearly formed

us. So what's that part He blew in

US? The personality of God.

It's the part he died for. He blew it in US.

He didn't, he didn't die to like save the spirit form.

Merely we're not just spirit. This thing he died for was our

soul. We're soul winners.

I have the mind of Christ or the soul of Christ.

I I think like him. I cry like him, hurt like him,

grieve like him. I feel like him, funny, like

him, like my soul. We are a spirit that possess a

soul and we were put into a body.

We are eternal beings. So when this goes, we don't go

anywhere but where we began. But we got here and our focus is

mostly on things that entertain and fulfilled.

So this scripture right here, we don't even see this key sitting

here because the way God got you here is the same thing.

The same way you get God here. When I say get God here, I mean

God, things, promises. Let's pick it back up.

Every spiritual blessing in heavenly realm has already been

lavished upon us where Genesis 1 where he says let us make man in

our image and in our likeness and you go down and he says they

shall have dominion and they should be over the fish of the

sea and over the What did he do? He just gave us authority over

all things, and we're trying to have not dunamis.

We're trying to. Yeah, we're trying to have

dunamis, and we fail to exercise exusia.

It's like you want to shoot the gun, but you don't actually have

the legal authority to shoot it. You want the.

Power. You want the.

Protection, but you don't know who you are.

And if you don't know who you are, your authority is not in

the perverted you or the second best you, or in the you

duplicated somebody else. It's not in the phony you.

It's not in the people pleasing you.

The authority lies in who he. Created in Genesis 1, the KNEW.

Look at this, he said. Already been lavished upon us as

a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father.

A love gift, the Father of our Lord Jesus.

Look all because he sees us wrapped into Christ.

So this isn't all because you're good.

It's all because when he looks at you, all he sees is Christ.

So if, if, if, if, if everything he's giving me is wrapped up, or

shall I say Christ is the key to what's been given, then it would

be wise for me to focus on seeking His Kingdom first.

So I could actually be like who He created me to be like.

Here's who He created you to be like.

Let us make men in our image. It's very important to where

we're going. There is no open heaven for you

if you're not walking in image and likeness.

He's going to labor like the rest of the world.

He's just going to live on God's intervention plan, always

bailing you out. Remember living on the other

side of the door instead of being the one who answers you

always knocking. This is why we celebrate him

with all our hearts. You with me, you with me, right?

It's very I get it. Sometimes we talk about Genesis

or Revelations folks is just like, huh, wait a minute.

He didn't just we didn't just come out the womb.

Yeah, you did. Where your spirit come from,

your Mama didn't create it. Your Mama impacted your

character. So where your spirit came from

there there's kids that's come that's on their way to this

earth, sitting in the bleachers of heaven waiting for the Lord

to say, hey, I need to get you in that family.

So then man and woman come together and create a what?

A shell, a form, a vessel that God created as well.

And then that life kicks into that body and comes out and

become a living being. And the world's job is to put

more emphasis on the perishable part.

Got so many people changing their faces and changing a

sexual identity and changing all kind of stuff.

Trying to be God, not realizing the best version of you is who

he created. I wish you do some transplants

to your soul. Now mind you, I don't know

nobody in here that got anything done in here.

You get them saying, but what I'm saying is all this energy

and effort we put in. You see, the enemy is trying to

create counterfeits, right? So you want to physically look

perfect but forfeit understanding you was made

perfect. It's already done.

Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me keep going for for where

your treasure is. Remember this scripture last

week there were your heartbeat. What also where your attention

is, when your affection is, where your money is, where your

time is, there will your heart be also.

That's why you got to, that's why you got to be careful giving

certain people time. And you got to put value on your

time. And you got to name your time

and you got to steward your time because not everybody deserve

prime time. The eye.

Somebody shout out the eye. The eye is the lamp of the body.

So if your eye is, what sound? If your eye is, what sound?

If it's fixed? If it's?

Stable. Then guess what your entire body

will be what full of lights? If you're what eye is sound?

If your focus is sound? If your attention is is sound

what you're letting in? If it's sound.

But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of

darkness. If then the very light in you,

here it is your conscience. Where's your conscience?

It's in your soul. It's darkened.

How dense is that darkness? When information permeates my

soul, When sadness permeates my soul, right at first Get the

news, then it sends the signal to my heart, my soul, my spirit,

right? There's a battle.

And I, I think we have to increase our effective fighting.

In the beginning of a challenge, most of us fight later, most of

us are trying to get it out of us.

That's what you're fighting versus not letting it get

rooted. I'm trying to help you right

now. I'm trying to help you.

It ain't too late once it gets in your soul, but it it's for

sure harder than if you never let it get rooted right, James

one says. You watch it.

You only tempted by and pulled away from the things that you

watched. You gave attention.

It got in your soul, it said, and then you sin and then sin

have babies. So it's not that you're fighting

now against the sin that so easily besets you now you're

fighting the babies that the initial sin gave birth to.

I don't have time you go read that.

Have a Bible study on that scripture.

The enemies efforts is to blind the eyes or the mind of sons and

daughters. Remember we kind of left off

there that last last week. The enemy's efforts is to blind

the minds of sons and daughters. 2nd Corinthians 4 says even if

our gospel message is veiled, it is only veiled to those who are

perishing for their what minds have been what?

Blinded by what? The God of this age leaving them

in what unbelief therefore their.

Blindness keeps them from what? Seeing the dayspring light of

the gospel. In other words, if their minds

are blinded, they cannot see the blessing or the open heaven that

has been purchased for them. Open heaven is less about you

getting breakthrough if you memory starts spiritually.

If you can't see breakthrough, you ain't gonna walk in

breakthrough. This is why faith is such

things. Hope for.

It's not about the tangible. It's not about touching it.

It's not about the senses and smelling it.

It's about faith. Knowing.

Believing so say my mind is not blind here.

Here's here's an analogy We read this last week.

Then Elijah prayed, Oh God, open his eyes, Elijah.

Elijah saw God. Elijah servant saw.

Trouble are y'all woke in here. Elijah saw God.

Mind you, he looked out to where trouble was, but above trouble

he saw God. We sing that song surrounded.

I'm surrounded by you. I would assume that's where that

was birthed from. It may look like I'm.

Yeah, for sure that birth was birthed from this.

Scripture was how many times you sing that.

But then soon as some little itty bitty problem come you like

you magnify it, you zoom in on it and you forgot.

It may look like I'm surrounded when I'm surrounded by you.

So then you need people around you that's interceding for you.

Lord, open his eyes, let him see the eyes of the young man were

what open? There is no open heaven without

open eyes. I believe the key to our worship

and and the key to our energy and the key key to our fervor is

because we actually see and because we see, we go see.

How can you play something different?

Because it's putting people to sleep.

Like I think I don't know what to do something that maybe it's

a sound that they really believe God's here or something.

Maybe like put some caffeine on your keys or something.

I don't know what you got to do but maybe it's like a nursery

rhyme they filling or something. Rock a bye baby on the tree top

when the wind blows the cradle. It's where a song like open the

eyes of my heart, Lord comes from.

Like that's got to be your prayer.

See, see here, here's where it is.

Eji believe we need to we need to pray less about Lord.

Show me where my stuff at. That's like yours.

That's like your lenses like this.

So I only want to see my stuff. I don't want to zoom out and if

I zoom out and say open my eyes, he will show me what's holding

my stuff back. There's so much more deceit in

your stuff. You're not the only one in the

picture. He remember the Scripture, Psalm

1, this rooted guy, this bear and fruit daughter every what

season, never dried, never faint and ever blessed, ever

prosperous. But but can you, can you put up

Psalm 11? I want you to see who this, this

son and daughter is though that's prospering every season.

Do you know every season is good and bad?

Prosper and Storm can go together.

Am I talking to this side over here?

Prosper and Storm can go together.

Prosper and Persecution can go together.

Prosper and Lonely can go together.

Prosper and Sick can go together.

Prosper and not light can go to get.

Prosper and single can go together.

Come and put that song one blessed somebody, say blessed,

happy, fortunate, prosperous. And what enviable is the man or

woman who walks and lives not in the counsel?

Of the Oh God. Following their what it by

following their what advice I hope you watching streaming

family to be envy. They don't follow the world's

advice or ungodly believers because it's almost like we

didn't put a line in the word and it's Saints and sinners.

God's either talking to one or the other, but he's also talking

to lukewarm believers. He's also talking to believers

with ungodly lifestyles, ungodly mindsets, believers ungodly.

Their plans and their purposes. Nor do they stand submissive.

Laura, this is the. Part this Psalm 1/3 is talking

to the people who don't stand submissive and inactive in Boom,

the path where sinners walk, Where you don't just hang around

sin and be cool with it. You ready?

You don't live under an open heaven when sin don't bother.

You. You.

You, you've been around these Centers for three years and you

ain't took a bold stand yet. I'm talking about a bold stand.

I'm talking about turnover tables, bowl.

I'm talking about somebody. See tears in your eyes and you

like enough is enough. Put the weed down.

Mama. I can't stand when you do this.

Daddy, wife, husband, Enough is enough.

He like that's we love him. OK let me help you out children

of God. God corrects who he loves.

Are you so worried about somebody being mad at you or or

or things man you know how much stuff happening on your clock.

God didn't give you the right, give you the power to change

people. That's his job, he does the

inner work but I for sure got to give them something that heaven

can cling to and that leave even if it leave them mad it didn't

leave them the same you Dang they're the only preacher in

their life. And you've been the same

temperature for how long? It said you just relax and rest.

What it is you just comfortable? No, you can't be comfy.

You ready for verse two? He us.

Yeah, we can keep reading verse. But his delight or her delight

and desire is in the law of the Lord and on his law, the

precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God.

He or she habitually meditates by day and by night.

And then you go to verse three. He or she will be standing firm.

You ready for this part? Bearing fruit in every season.

Who? The one that this ain't chilling

lukewarm. These are keys.

L EJ This is when you seek the Kingdom.

He opens your eyes to these things because seeking proves I

want to see, right? You can't seek without see.

That's most of the word. So when you truly pursue him,

he'll show you stuff like this then if you're really the proof.

That you truly seeking his truth is it convicts you when you get

to it, not you argue with it and make excuse Well, well, well,

well, well, well, well, well nothing.

It's just what it says and he opened my eyes to it and I'm not

just taking verse three and gonna have a praise break have a

praise break over verse one and two.

The true praise break. I can only really praise break

on verse three because I'm living in one and two.

You ever give a lukewarm praise? You're like, OK, I'm gonna

praise because they praise them, but I'm just feeling real

condemned right now and shame I'm not living what they.

Yeah, you dance a little different when you walk in one

and two. We got to do one and two.

We got to have a little accountability.

We we got to hold people accountable.

So then that person bearing fruit in every season life, he

is never dry. No, Why am I never dry?

Because I'm always pouring water out.

So then heaven pours its resources out, Lord, like, oh, I

found somebody that's going to pour, so I got to keep them with

something to pour so they never drive.

They never fainting because, because, because they live a

life keeping people from fainting.

So I got to keep them never fainting and they'll ever be

blessed because they live a life of ever blessing.

I'm not ever blessed if I'm not ain't I'm not Ed if I'm not E if

I'm not a blessing, if I'm not ever blessing, I'm not.

I'm like, that's why, that's why I love coming on Wednesday and

Sunday and rehearsal on Saturday because why that's ever

blessing. So don't question why I'm ever

blessed them text messages every day.

Bye bye, bye bye. The Lord is in blessing, ever

prosperous. We read Ezekiel, you can read it

again on your own time. We've read it for months in this

church. Read it again on your own in

Jesus. The heavens are always open.

So when I woke up this morning, Elder John, guess what?

Heaven was open. I'm going to talk to somebody on

this side. When I woke up, when I when I go

to sleep tonight, Guess what? I'm a go.

My eyelid is going to close. But guess what?

Heaven's going to still be open. All right, here's the beautiful

part. You know when I mess up

sometime, Guess what? Heaven's still open.

There is no sin that can close heaven.

Only blind eyes. Sin don't close.

Sin does not close heaven. Blindness does.

People persecute you. Guess what?

Heaven's still open. I know that.

We read about Stefan Wright, Deacon Steve, what happened?

He was getting stoned and what he do looked up and saw what

heaven opened. You can't ask me, Lord, to

always pray, but heaven ain't always open.

What? Come on, Jesus.

We read Matthew 2751, we've seen that the bell was torn from top

to what bottom. Do y'all know how heavy that

bell was? Y'all know how tall that that

bell was. So for it to rip, you know the

part what had to had to touch that curtain.

It was not made to tear. Neither were you.

Yeah, like seven people got that with seven people listen to the

recording you only and re listen to that one.

The earth shook and the rocks were split.

The torn veil symbolizes direct access.

So if the if the heavens are closed, then somebody must have

put the put the bell back up. I don't know who did that one

ain't ain't. I only think they make stitching

like that. The veil is torn.

It's nothing left to open but your eyes.

You remember that last week. You remember that last week.

You remember that last week. The veil is torn.

There's nothing left to open. But you're what eyes you hear

stuff like Martin Luther King, like Minaj have seen the glory,

right? He he saw.

I want you. I want I want y'all to see

something. OK.

I want y'all to see something. Me and my wife is who Martin

Luther King saw that. That was his last speech.

Black boys and black girls, Jews and Gentiles.

He he saw. He saw it in the spirit and when

he preached it, he preached it like it was happening.

You got to be careful what you see and not.

He couldn't just see it though. He had to speak it.

You ready? He laid his life on the line

because he saw it. And I feel a lot of people are

tossed to and fro and confused and never get momentum in their

life because your vision ain't clear.

This man gave his life to something he saw he wouldn't

live to see, so it may have felt like heaven was closed when he

was getting water hosed down and beating folks was getting hung.

But he said enjoying love. I see it.

So it may have felt like the heavens were closed, but he saw

him open and he said the result of heaven being open.

Is black men. Jews And that's, that's revival.

Open heaven is when you see Jesus, not when Jesus sees you

or when Jesus does something for you.

And open heaven is more about the condition of our inner man

more than it is about the keys to God's storehouse three John

says, I pray you prosper in what we can add every way every

season ever blessed. Let's do what he says though.

Keep art, keep art. All of the stuff above you see

that I want you to see that that's all the stuff we think

hope and heaven is. I'm prospering, my body

prospering. I'm well, I'm good, it says.

But the key is, as your soul keeps well, if your souls not

well, your body will follow. As my inner man prospers, my

inner heaven expands. Are you with me?

As my inner man prospers, my inner heaven expense, he says be

transformed by the renewing of your what mine is talking about

your Sukay your your soul, right?

Your soul now it needs to align with the truths of your Newman,

your new spirit. That's what needs to happen in

heavenly realities. Your Newman came from heavenly

realities, but your mind has to align with it so you can.

See it true maturity is I. I am growing in and aligning in

the truths of the Kingdom, and I'm not.

Wavering from it. So as my inner man prospers, my

inner heaven expands. How do I know that?

Well, look at what Luke 17 says. The Kingdom is not discovered in

one place or another. It's not tangible like that.

For God's Kingdom realm. There that word go again.

Realm already. Again.

Ephesians 1/3, what it say already?

We know it already. Already here it is again, the

Kingdom of God or God's Kingdom realm is all you see how it's a

realm and we're trying to get stuff out of heaven.

We pulling it down, but we don't live in the realm.

We almost acting like thieves, right?

We're just trying to take stuff out of a place we actually don't

see we belong. That's what I'm saying.

That's the difference between and keys and This is why some

folks will come to you and ask you to pray for them, EJ,

because it sound like you got keys in them.

They somehow feel they have more faith in your ability to pray

for them than they do have for their ability to pray to the

Father. So you're a better son and you

have more access. So they automatically have put

themselves on the doormat and put you on the other side and

they're happy you answered the door.

You're not. Come and say, hey, EJ, I need

you to help me pull this thing down.

God told me this. God told me that I'm standing on

this word. I just need you walking with me,

brother. It's like, hey EJ, you there?

Hey EJ, I'm inside. You're not saying this inside

you like I know he know God, he over prayer and you like EJ, can

you pray for me? There's nothing wrong with

asking for prayer. The problem is when you're

asking for prayer, on what side of the door you asking?

For it from. If you're a son and daughter,

you should be asking for prayer from in the house, not from the

porch. This is what the Bible says for

God's Kingdom realm. Y'all asking where?

Where heaven come? Lord come.

He's like what from where? Where do you want me to come

from? I'm everywhere.

I'm I'm not present. I'm not N SE W I'm he is.

So where am I coming from? That's why he.

Says it's already expanding in you, so then how we ain't gonna

have that time? But if I understand it's in me,

then there must be mechanics. To get it.

Out of me. There must be principles to get

it out of me, keys to get it out of me.

I'm taking the long route so we can create a case that what

you're looking for is in you. And the moment you believe in

yourself and align with it and begin to speak the language, the

way it works is all of creation is looking for you.

They're not there. The Bible says all the creation

is looking for those sons and daughters.

So sons and daughters talk a certain way.

Their posture is a certain way, they're consistent a certain

way. They hang in certain places.

Their behavior is a certain way. Their joy is a certain way.

It says expanding in some of you.

Now I want I want you to see this.

If he's just three, let's see how this is working right.

I'm just taking on this journey to help some truth be exposed to

you right. We understand that at least in

the you know, the the thinking, I'm happy you may go do your own

study and create your own case. OK, but in the thinking and the

evidence that I have gathered, open heaven, even if it was this

physical thing out there, it starts with them.

That's the gist of it. The open heaven is not about

monetary things. It's not about this breakthrough

thing. The open heaven, it's in US, and

it stays open. Where it closes has everything

to do with our sight, it has everything to do with our

lifestyle, it has everything to do with our mindset.

But heaven itself has no reason to close anymore because the

only reason it shut in the 1st place was because of sin.

Then Jesus came, and he. Tore the veil, He opened the

door, he opened the heavens and he says come in.

Hebrews, he says come to the throne.

Boli, I'm here. Stores open.

Just come on in. You don't gotta not just come on

in. What you knocking for?

That's not bold. You, my child, you don't need

permission. Jesus told Jesus didn't say

nothing about knock when he taught us how to pray.

He said this how you pray our fathers just start talking.

What do you say? Open your mouth.

He's so so now to him, right? This is where I need the organ.

This is where I need now unto him.

There's no organ on that side. But we pay all that money for

You got 22 keyboards? No organ.

Two keyboards don't work. All we can.

We. Is it a way we can put it in

there. I know.

It's smart computer. Yeah, we can.

We can do it. Absolutely.

We pay too much money for it not to have a sound.

Hallelujah. Now to him.

Who by in consequence of now. Do you see this?

Now unto him. Say now so unto him who by in

consequence of the consequence of the result of the action of

his power that is at work. Where's the power, Lord?

Save our city. Well, city got to be saved

within first. The power is working within us

is able to carry out His purpose and do super abundant.

He can't do what He needs to do through us if his power ain't

working in US. And if you ain't let his power

work to save you, how you gonna? Let His power work through you

to deliver others. Far overlook super abundantly,

far over, say far over. And above all that we dare ask

or think infinitely beyond our highest What prayers, desires,

thoughts, hopes, or what dreams you ready.

Nothing's pouring from heaven if heaven isn't open in you.

Now we say now unto him who is able to do exceedingly

abundantly above all we can ask, stink or imagine, according to

Hallelujah exceeding and we shout, and we have praise

breaks. But then we got to go verse 16.

Remember how we did Psalm 1/3, but then we went back to what,

1-2 and you know, we shout and had a praise break over 320.

Now we go go back up to what, 16 because now is a result.

Now I get into exceeding abundantly because of what

happened between 16 and 20. May He grant you out of the rich

treasure of His glory. You ready to be strengthened,

ready and reinforced with mighty power.

You ready in the inner man? By the Holy Ghost himself ready

indwelling where your innermost being and what uh oh,

personality so. So you mean there's blessings

connected to personality? What did I just say?

All of creation is groaning, looking.

How do they find you? There's a sound.

There's a sound to your personality, there's a sound to

your faith. Everything about you got a sound

inner man innermost verse 17 right So innermost inner man

that's his prayer innermost inner man that's what we're

going to start praying about more innermost inner man make

Christ through your what faith actually what Oh dwell another

word dwell not out there settle down where abide where make his

permanent home where. In your heart, permeate your

soul. This is a prayer you ready?

So we went from your inner man be strengthened.

We went from him dwelling, abiding, staying, living, not

leasing in your heart. And then here's another key.

And then may you be rooted deep in love and found it securely on

love. Secure.

Not wondering if he loves you, not wondering who you are.

Secure. Look at him, look at him, look

at him. So all of 16 and 17 that you met

have the power. And be strong to apprehend and

grasp with all the Saints, God's devoted people, the experience

of that love, the experience of that love.

Not living off of John's experience.

Not living off of Hero's experience.

Not living off of Julia's experience.

Not living off of P Dill's experience.

Not living off of Noel's experience.

Not living off of my testimony. But you experience that love.

What is the breath of all spiritual things?

The length, the height and the depth.

I want you to understand we don't got time to get into it.

But His love has dimensions. And you think His love stops at

goosebumps during a worship song?

His love has dimensions and This is why the enemy loves you to

stop at feelings. He loves you stopping that

conditions because there's how you get how you stay married

that long because we went to a new level.

You ever see you ever feel your marriage or your relationships

get into a place where you like we didn't hit a ceiling.

That's not bad. The world says when you hit a

ceiling in your marriage, you fell out of love versus

understanding. That's a godly ceiling because

it's his institute with his principles, his rules, and his

way of doing things. Therefore, I gotta wrestle with

my spouse to breakthrough to the next level of our marriage.

Love has dimensions and feelings is the lowest form of love.

He said then that you may really come to know practically through

experience for yourselves. Oh, so that's an experience so I

can know. And then when I know, I

practically through experience for myself.

The love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge.

Without experience, there's measures.

That you will never experience. Therefore, This is why marriage

should be the number one example of how to get through

covenantial problems. How do we fight through this and

get over the hump? Because it don't matter where my

feelings are at this level. If we breakthrough this level,

what this is telling me, I am about to encounter a deeper

level of love. So maybe it's time for me to to

to to get ready to grieve how we loved each other and get ready

for the next level of love which will be greater than where we

just left. And you frustrated with God and

all he trying to do is show you another side to himself and you

over here pouting and throwing little kid tantrums because he

don't talk to you the same way he used.

To you want him to still give you signs and he says by now you

should know my voice by now you should have my spirit.

You got to go from science to lead.

When you led, you don't need signs.

I can't be led by science because signals can change.

The more I mature in God, the less.

Signs I need because I'm living a life where I am.

He's dwelling in my heart, so everything I pray for is what he

wants. Everywhere I'm going is where he

want to go. And if I end up somewhere he

didn't want me to go quickly, I turn on it.

My steps are ordered. That you may be filled.

That you may be what filled. That you may be what filled Are

you ready This is so powerful through.

All your being, until unto all the fullness of.

God. Not all the fullness of you, all

the fullness of God, may have the richest measure of His

divine presence, and become a body WHO double LY field, and

what flooded with God Himself. So tough Times has just

purchased me an opportunity to experience that great love.

You ready Correction has now purchased me an opportunity to

experience that great love. And when I realized that he

corrected me and he's still there for me.

I've experienced his great love. Now you see all that now to him

now praise break all you want to, but how's 16 through 19

going? Because when I read stuff like

this Troy that my body will will will be filled entirely and

flooded with God himself. Why would God fill me up and not

heaven up? Like what am I filled with?

If I'm filled with God, I'm filled with his realm.

So when I began to think of an open heaven, I don't have time.

We're for sure running out of time.

I look at fill me up so the Kingdom can flood the streets.

He calls us Gates. Oh.

Ye. Gates.

So he's like I'm, I'm I. Want to feel you up?

Not for you alone. I want you.

You are my storehouse. Ephesians 1, three.

I've given you every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm.

You're the storehouse. When you go into places, when

you open the gates, you bring blessing.

That's why you can't go places and adapt to their language.

If they language don't line up with heavenly language, maybe

you around a bunch of folks cussing because what's in you?

You about to really bring blessing because all they got is

cursing. I'll close with Ephesians one

and Isaiah 64. We get to it but next week we're

going to get to it about this thing right here, this gate

right here. Remember we started off with

what you you know the the eyes is the lamp to the body.

What I'm focused on consistently will feel this temple and will

lead me feelings can lead you Ephesians one for I always pray

to to God of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ love quest the

Father of glory that he may grant love quest all of you a

spirit of wisdom and revelation of insight into mysteries.

Oh what did I oh prayed for insight inner man vision into

mysteries which aren't which aren't kept from you, but kept

for you and secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of him

you ready? I pray that this will happen how

verse 18 says by having the eyes of your.

Heart. Flooded so that you can know and

understand the hope to which He has called you, And how rich is

His glorious inheritance in the Saints, His set apart ones.

Verse 19 And so that you can know and understand you ready

What is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing

greatness of His power in and for us?

His immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His

power in US. In US His immeasurable,

unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power is not

open the floodgates of heaven. Who am I that His power, His

immeasurable, unlimited and surpassing greatness of His?

Power is in me and for me, as demonstrated in the working of

His mighty strength. Isaiah 64 says God, if only you

would tear open the heavenly realm and come down, how the

mountains would tremble in your awesome presence.

Wait a minute. So now this picture takes you

looking up again. But if we look in the New

Testament and if we understand revelation, we understand He

inhabits the praises of his people.

So the way he comes down. Is O ye gates open up and swing

wide, make a joyful noise, let everything that has breath.

What? Praise the Lord.

Why just so when he always talks about praising, that means he's

always saying keep the gates open.

He's not just trying to get us to talk y'all, because it all

started in the form of the Spirit.

Every blessing is a spirit. So as we praise him as we

prophecy, First Corinthians 14 tells us to be eager to

prophecy. What are we doing?

We're releasing heaven in the Spirit.

It has to happen in the spirit first.

It don't matter if they see it or not.

Stay faithful to the confession. It don't matter if you see the

healing or not. Keep releasing it.

Everything that God has for you. Starts in Word form how the

mounts would tremble in your awesome presence, and in the

same way that fire sets kindling to blaze and causes water to

boil, let the fire of your presence come down, reveal to

your enemies your mighty name, and cause the nations to tremble

before you. This is not how we talked to

God. This is not how Adam was meant

to talk to God. I need this off while I close.

Adam never had to ask God to come down.

So if Jesus put an end to all that talk, then we don't talk

how Adam had to after the fall. I'm not asking you to come down

because remember after the fall you got to understand when He

purchased us, we became the temple, we became the

Tabernacle, we became the ark of the covenant.

Therefore, the only way He comes down, Scripture tells us He

inhabits the praise. The devil is fighting your

mouth. He is fighting for your mouth.

Every time you speak deaf, I want you to understand you've

just given the enemy an advantage.

I want you to understand this Every time you speak deaf.

You've given the enemy permission.

You've given him the license. The heavens are open, the veil

is torn, and the ladder has been pitched.

Next week, we'll pick up there. What do you mean, pastor?

The ladder has been pitched. It's the visual of Jacob.

Yeah. I want to remind us because we

literally a lot of us think that Jacob's ladder was a literal

thing. Bible says he went to sleep.

And he had a dream. Therefore the latter was a

vision, and he saw it, and out of that vision it changed his.

Posture towards God. And he said, I, in other words,

I've become a portal. I'm a portal that heaven and

earth runs transactions through. If you want to see an open

heaven. Look, with that, open your

mouth. You hear people when praises go

up, Let's just come down. He inhabits the praise of his

people. How does he inhabit the praises

of his people? It's not like this picture of

when he inhabits the praise of his people.

When we praise him, He comes from somewhere.

If he truly, if he truly dwells in us, then when you like man,

the presence is thick. Yeah, 'cause some folks open

their mouth. That's why a house full.

Of prayer when we've walked businessmen through here.

The other day I was stood, stood right there where my wife is.

I stood there and I was like looked at Elder John.

I was like, boy, presence of the Lord is in this place.

You can't praise like we do. We open our mouths a lot in this

church. Have you ever been in a church

where people don't open their mouth?

How's it feel? How's it feel?

Does it feel electric? How do you?

Have you ever been in a big building with quiet people?

Have you ever heard? Worship in a church?

What worship is singing? What the people?

How's it feel? How's it feel?

Right, because there's not this angelic activity that praise is

meant for. He gives us another key.

The angels cry holy, holy, holy back and forth.

So This is why y'all, we don't need y'all staring at us.

There needs to be a holy, holy, holy Hallelujah.

That's good. Hey man, I receive it and thank

God that's our house. Lift your hands right where you

are, man. We're not, we're not going to

sit here because God's not mad of us, but mad at us.

But man, just repent through your actions for acting and like

God is somewhere else other than within you and when you.

This is why we can act however we want to act because we don't

have a revelation that he's within us.

You can't. Hide from him wherever you go,

He's there. You're a glory carrier.

He purchased you. So he could dwell with you, in

you. This is why the Church is

powerful in the earth, because for those that's not carrying

him, they need some people in the earth that's carrying him.

I pray that your senses are heightened, your awareness

increases. I pray that you may know him not

about what he can do for you, but what He's done for you.

He's good, He's mighty, and the favor of the Lord is upon you.

I want to tell you, son and daughter, He is within you.

He never leaves you nor forsakes you.

He's right there late in the midnight hour.

He's right there through persecution.

He's right there through loss. He's right there through gain.

He's right there. He never sleeps, never slumbers

when you're sleep. He's right there, wide awake.

Moving, working things out, protecting you, guiding you.

You are healed from the inside out.

You are. Favored from the inside out.

I declare that you no longer are used to have your tongue work

against you. Come on, I hope somebody heard

that. He also redeems your tongue so

your tongue can stop working against you.

Folks are like. Man, I want to hear the audible

voice of God. So funny.

How does faith come by hearing? Because the word comes out of

us. How do people get saved from

another man or woman preaching the gospel?

Where did that gospel come from? How could they what hear without

a preacher? How can they preach unless they

be sent? You have to hear the word.

From someone. So then that word then goes

where inside? And if the word penetrate your

heart, heaven penetrated your heart.

So how does what comes out of me have the ability to redeem you

when I release the word and when you release the?

Word. You release Jesus himself.

This is why the enemy wants to take your voice, because if he

could take your voice, he can close the heaven in your life,

right? If he can plant a seed of doubt

and get you to open your mouth and speak doubt, it works

against you. Be careful, we'll see you next

week. We're judged by our words.

We just loose mouth. We just say anything.

We talk to people any old kind of way.

We don't look next week at. Power of our words and how

serious God takes our words. Does your tongue represent him

from the inside out? Come on, right where you?

Are I don't even know, I don't even know how we.

Didn't catch that one that that we got to open the gates and our

gates ain't open. What you doing?

Just take a few minutes and open your mouth and release that

which is within you. Release it.

You at home, just release it. Release the word.

Release the word. You ever turn a?

Faucet on just a tiny bit, but if you want more water, you got

to open the valve a little bit more.

Come on, open the valve a little bit more.

Come on, a little bit. Fervor.

That's what fervor mean. When when I pray with fervor, I

open the valve a little bit more.

When I pray with passion, I'm opening the the valve a little

bit more. Come on, open your mouth wide.

Come on. Pray with certainty.

Pray with fervor. Just 60 seconds.

Come on, 20 more seconds. The.

Come on, demons tremble. Come on, demons tremble.

Come on, send the word. Come on, Prophecy.

Come on. It's turning around.

How do I know? Because he said so.

Come on. Sons and daughters are coming

home. Why?

Because he said so. Come on.

These are the days of Elijah. Why?

Because he said so. Come on, Powers surging.

Because he said so. Come on, we shall see What eyes

have not seen. Ears have not heard, nor has it

entered into the heart of man. Why?

Because he said so. Come on, I'm the heeled and not

the sick. How?

Because he said so. I'm the head not to tell.

Why 'cause he said so. I'm above it, not believe Why

'cause he said so. In the midst of my challenges,

when the enemy comes in like a flood, he raises a standard.

Why 'cause he said so? I'm protected 'cause he said so.

I'm blessed and highly favored, 'cause he said so.

Everything is working out, 'cause he said so.

The building is finished, 'cause he said so.

The building will overflow, 'cause he said so.

Love Quest will never be in debt.

Why 'cause he said so? It's 'cause he said so.

That's how I'm opening up the floodgates of heaven.

Because he said so. Courage is rising up.

Boldness is rising up. The enemy is fleeing.

Your mother is delivered. Your father's addiction is

broken. Why?

Because he said so. Come on, do I got?

Any prayer warriors in here, be not weary and well doing, for if

you faint not in due season, you shall reap because he said so.

Come on, I'm never getting dry because he said so.

I'm forever blessed because he said so.

Fruitful in every season because he said so.

He's restoring the years that the cankerworm has stolen, He

said. So.

Where I where I grew up, the liquor store stayed open all the

time and there's there is hours where that liquor store probably

may have just one person in three hours come in, but it's

open just in case somebody need. To get a fix.

And I don't think every time I'm in these positions in these

moments, I'm like, I know some people be wondering like, all

right, I'm ready to go home. Like how y'all still going?

And and I'm sure those same people that kept the store open

for 24 hours was tired. But I believe I don't know about

you. I don't know what you think you

was created for. I believe that God brought me to

Canada not merely to plant a church, but to raise up a people

who would stand in the gap, create highways, right?

Like I'm actually when I'm doing this, I'm actually doing.

What I was created to do this is my high calling.

I don't need to know why we still worshipping at 9, I don't

need to know why we freestyle. I don't need to know, but I know

every word, every moment is doing something for a person, a

space and time. The word is being sent

somewhere. I don't need to know.

The inner workings of every word that I release.

I just know there's never a word release from faith that does not

produce so it's just no way if the enemy don't stop.

As I say man like the church is lame sometime because there's so

many things stay open late to serve people.

I mean we be the first ones because we can't put God on the

clock to complain and get attitude and man I'm like well

stay. This is why I say stay home like

you in a good. Time to not like church, like

coming to church because you can watch.

On stream what I'm saying and we'll continue to say it.

My wife told me the other day. She was like.

You know what? We're never putting end times on

a flyer again. And don't ever tell people like

she like, like like let's have within, let's have a time.

We end in, let's talk about it. But we're just not that church.

Where you can. Just put a cap in like but in

there's. But here's the beautiful part.

There is so many churches that. Will fit your what you desire

for a church but since when was the church for you since when do

we get to order the church and tell them what we like and when

we get tired and when we. But I love God because he cares

about all of our little desires. So he's like, man, you want 90

minutes? Man, there's so many churches.

You drove past 20 of them. You want a.

You want a quiet? Church.

You want a quiet church? You drove past 50.

Keep your eyes. Keep your eyes.

You know what I'm saying? I'm.

I'm good. I'm good.

We good. OK, Maybe that's what we was

praying for. Maybe somebody got shot and we

sent the word so they won't die. That's what I'm saying.

Like you. You don't know why you pressing

in. I know it's been several times

you ever press in and then later you get a phone call.

Somebody got in a car accident. But I made it like, you don't

know, like we got to get past coming to church for us.

And I think your posture would change if you came here as a

portal, not a whale monster rivers, not a well.

I'm glad my well days are over. In the same way you thank being

me and PJ for being pastors and whatever you think we are to

you, Well, guess what? Be that for others.

Amen. God's always cool if His

children sit at His feet and worship.

So there's never really no end time for him.

But He understands we got to go home and get to sleep and get

some food and go to bed so we can get up tomorrow.

So that's what we're going to do to remind people the fastest

started. And I want you to know you never

start a fast and things don't shift spiritually.

And this fast has been different for me and a lot of things are

shifting in me and I am going to and we are going to be, we're

going to a whole another level. This fast is very prophetic.

We've never fasted like this the way we're about to fast.

The cool thing about this fast is you actually have more

liberties to do you than other fast.

So this fast is going to take you to, to let God deal with

you. We're just providing some

framework with this fast. But we've never had a, a

indefinite ending ever. And this building could be done.

The other day somebody was like when the building gonna be done

like 3 weeks or something like that.

They're four. Weeks.

I'm like, have you, have you went next door?

I was like, Nah, I would, I would assume about four months.

It could be five, I'm hoping 4, but they were like, OK, so when

you say next time we walk in the building, can we walk in

tomorrow? Can we walk in?

No, no, no. When we have our first

experience next door this fast will be over.

And it's a beautiful part. You can get out whenever you

want to. It's not a cold.

It's not not forcing you to do nothing, but I do know we're

fasting this way because we're coming to the end of a lot of

things. And so we have to fast this way

because the enemy does not want some of us to get to the end and

he wants some of you to have minimal investment.

But the Lord says you're leeching.

Days are over. You will mature you at home, you

will mature. We will hear like we've never

heard before. There is a strength and maturity

that is rising up in this Church of these leaders.

I have to chew. Through it, but I I was sitting

down last night and got a really long prophetic word from a

couple people, but it was nothing new per SE.

It was all confirmation. But we are coming into a season

where and it aligned with the go see, go, go, go time as well.

But there is a great maturing that is happening but also has

to happen because where God has taken me and PJ and others and

like everyone is about to level up.

Literally, we're a lot of us are going to level up.

And that was in the go time where?

We're not leaving people. We're leveling up.

And I believe why God sits upon us the way he does is God is

going to entrust us as one of the local churches.

I don't know what he's doing in other churches, but he's going

to entrust us with an uncommon glory that only maturity can

handle. And This is why, you know, one

part of the word last night person people were saying the

war that we face a lot of times where we'll find some of our

greatest warfare is the enemy's trying to discredit the name of

this church. And some people think Love Quest

is cute, but it's actually, I don't have time to share with

you why God asked me to say this name and asked me to carry this

name. But if you can discredit love,

you can discredit God. But what we're going to be asked

to carry all this praise and worship and unashamedness and

cultural stuff and garage stuff and long services and prayer and

giving and is all leading up to a glory that God is asking a

people to carry. Like he literally wants to walk

with a people to where it is so tangible that he is with those

people. And I'm talking about the days

of where if you mess with his presence, you don't see bad

stuff happening, but you see stuff happening, like to where

his presence is so tangible, parents feel convicted to stay.

Stop playing in. Church.

Somebody talking to you in church and you like not now

because this glory is meant to bring a reverence that has been

lost. And I'm not talking about

because I grew up in the religious side of it to where

the same person that popped you in the mouth and told you to sit

down as the kid was the same one sleeping around or the same one

going to. The club I'm not talking about.

What he's calling us to holiness and I just need to find a few

people that's serious about the Lord and that will leave

something behind that causes a generation to fear the Lord.

Jesus said when you see me, you see the Father.

I want that to be our testimony. So I'm not sure how the rhythms

of this fast will go, but love quest.

We are on the last leg of something the enemy never wanted

to get off the ground from February 2017 and we're about to

crossover to a realm of influence, heavenly influence

and impact in the city God is going to.

And I. I'm prophesying this only

because I heard it and not just heard it out of my mouth.

I have heard it over the years. God is going to entrust us with

so much goodness and we can't mess it up.

We can't mess it up what God is about to entrust us with.

If we mess it up, it will mess up generations.

And that's why you got to work your little issues out because

what's coming? The glory could also crush you,

right? The same way people get upset

and at a group of people that's worshiping longer than plant

right? It's like how you.

Matter what we worship in the Lord.

Are you mad watching a three hour movie?

Why? Same way the glory can also

'cause people to get tripped up. We can't mess this up.

We will not mess this up. So I'm looking forward.

To some of you guys, maturity I'm looking forward to and when

God comes to you and asks you to sacrifice something, I promise

you hear me for whoever this is for He will provide the call and

the time to respond is getting closer and closer and closer.

The God God has given some of you in here seasons to practice

your call. He's even giving you a grace to

play around with the idea of stepping away from your call.

The Lord is saying where we're going.

He needs 10 toes in. This is not the season to do the

splits. God has been so gracious in

letting you waver in this next season.

Wavering will cost you something and if one of my assignments is

to raise up serious people, then that's just what it is.

I hope my son get a coach that says either want to make it to

the NBA or not. If you're not serious about this

sport, go to another school. But if you're trying to make it.

That's what I'm here for. You want to play church?

Go to another church. We actually want to follow

Jesus. You're in the right place.

And following Jesus can get messy.

Following Jesus don't mean you don't make mistakes.

It just means you get back up and keep going.

You just keep following because you're following Jesus.

We're not turning back. I cannot be a lukewarm leader.

The Lord won't let me. My spirit gets troubled whenever

I seek a release from leading. And I found more peace in the

here I am. Yes, I'll do it then when he has

said, OK, cool, you want a break, take one.

Don't hit rest. And then I can't rest because

I'm thinking about what I should be doing.

So I found peace and rest and yes, till I do.

And I pray that some of you get I do on your lips and actually

meaning and stay there. It's a season of no excuses.

He's graced you with thousands of excuses over the years.

You will see. Young people answering their

call. I've kind of only seen it in my

culture where you see 13 year olds preaching and things of

that nature. And there's a way you should do

that. But we're going to see young

people burning to share the gospel.

You're going to see young people come to you asking you to

disciple them. I pray that you purge the

unnecessary weights. I pray that through this fast

that a great conviction, a great Apostolic conviction conviction

falls upon you. There's a few in you in here

that will wake up in the middle of the night fully sobbing and

you make sure when that happens, you tell me.

Don't try to don't, don't watch no sad movie and then fall

asleep and then wake up crying. Talking about PTI was no, I'm

talking about you're going to know it's God because the

sobbing is going to come with great repentance.

Not because you did something bad, but because there's going

to be a great yearn in your spirit to please the Father,

sons and daughters. Coming home is not merely coming

to a building, it's God's children returning to their

call. Stuff you know, but you've got

discouraged. The Lord will provide within

this fast. God will give you strategy,

whoever you are, transition strategy.

There's some of you. God will ask great sacrifice,

but as great as the sacrifice is, the harvest will be greater.

Lord says to some of you in here, be careful of

opportunities you take from pressure.

When I say pressure, you take the opportunity because you

don't want to let down Mama or daddy or friend.

Be careful of taking opportunity because of need.

This is not the season. To let lifestyle the need of

lifestyle drive your decisions. You need food, You need shelter.

Make sure your decisions are leading to that, not a

lifestyle. You need food, Make sure your

decisions is not so you can go out and eat.

The Lord wants you. You are God's greatest offering.

You are the best offering. You can give God portal.

Do it, Lord. Do it, Lord.

We are going to see. We are going to see.

Without the worship. Team having to do too much

without me having to do too much.

We are going to see, we're going to hear the sound of repentance

in the air. Mark my word.

Random outbursts of crying. The Lord is about to grip

people's heart like you've never heard or seen before.

We are really about to step into a very tangible holy moment.

The Lord's about to restore holy.

We're about to see righteous, not just say we're righteous.

We're about to see the fruit of real Apostolic and prophetic

ministry. The army is advancing.

There's going to be increase in conviction and increase in

desire to pray like you've never prayed before.

It's going to be a burden for prayer.

Some of you don't find yourself praying and you're like, I

don't, I really don't be praying like this.

And for some of y'all, you're going to walk in here Sunday and

your heart is going to be so on fire.

Well, I'm, I'm going to look in some of y'all eyes on Sunday and

you just going to be tearing up for no, no reason.

Lord's about to do a very quick work in our hearts.

You're going to find yourself crying a lot.

Not because you're sad. You are about to encounter the

Father's heart. Come on, just lift your hands

right where you are. He is near.

He is here. He's within us.

His train is filling the temple. In this hour, babies will see

God. We're stepping into a holy

moment. Love quest.

Approach God with respect. Be careful of your attitudes in

this hour. All of us, starting with me.

Be kind. Choose joy, love on purpose.

The Father is about to flood your soul.

Your praise is going to get richer.

Your prayer life is going to get richer.

Your steps are going to get richer.

Your vision is going to get sharper.

Your hearing is going to get sharper.

You're going to get bold in your decisions.

Faith is becoming sight. Lyrics are becoming reality.

The Word is becoming flesh. We will see God.

We will see the salvation of the Lord in the land of the living

in our lifetime. Remember, you carry his

presence. Lord, my mind is yours, my

tongue is yours, my hands are yours, my feet are yours, my

house is yours, my finances are yours, This church is yours.

Lord, you write my story. You tell your story.

New testimonies. Thank you, Lord, this church

will be marked with your signs and with your wonders, with your

healing power, with your excellence, with your Word.

May we be marked by your love for even your miracles.

Even your wonders are to point to your love.

Your power is to point to your love.

Your redeeming is to point to your love.

Your provision is to point to your love.

It's all about your love. And may we be a church, may we

be a people all about your love. May the presence of the Father

rest in this place richly. May we begin to see scales fall

off, people's eyes, blind eyes open, blind minds open, bodies

healed, joy breaking through, hope restored.

Lord, teach your children how to be aware, how to walk with you,

how to talk with you, how to wait on you.

Lord, may your train fill this temple, starting with our

bodies. May our children be overwhelmed

with Your presence. May our children get familiar

with Your presence at a young age.

Holy Spirit, help us walk with reverence.

Help us walk and talk like we are aware that the King of Glory

is in US, with us, around us, for us.

And may we be a people that no matter how far, how wide, how

high you take us, may you always be the main thing.

And we will be a soul winning church.

We will tell your story and testify.

We will love each other. Overflowing this place, please

Lord Jesus,

Well, you are carriers of his glory, so may wherever you go,

you be mindful of that. Amen.

We know Sunday there's baptism and there is yeah, there's

baptisms. So get ready for something to

happen Sunday, Saturday and get ready for something to happen

wherever you go. Look at your neighbor and say

the Lord is upon you in Jesus name.

Still remain mindful of his presence.

And I mean, obviously he's not like leaving or anything, but

there's other people that he's dealing with.

And so just remain aware. Have a good evening, guys.
