What's going on? Love Quest Nation?
-
Thank you for tuning into the Love Quest podcast, Get your
-
Bibles ready, get your notebook, get your coffee, get some water,
-
whatever you need to do and get ready to receive.
-
The time is right now. Let's go.
-
So you got to meditate on his, on His word and what the Word
-
says about him. You can't, like, think God into
-
existence. You can't just you have to
-
engage with His presence. You got to engage with His
-
truth. You have to respond to His word
-
with what you have to offer. You can't think God forward
-
right. And I think the way the world
-
meditates and somehow sometime how we worship we want to get in
-
this presence and get in worship and and just like think the
-
Bible say where the spirit of the Lord is.
-
There is freedom. There's a part of it that
-
there's there's more engaging than there is thinking.
-
Right. When I used to go out to the
-
club I used to dance but I was very aware of who was around me.
-
That took some thinking and somehow we think we have to do
-
one or the other. I can't engage with God.
-
I get like, we make God out of this big old deep thing, like
-
very deep. And it's like he's in US.
-
So what are we trying to think forward?
-
What are we trying to think about?
-
Right. The last thing you want to do is
-
be in his presence worrying, right?
-
Because when you're in the presence of the answer, still
-
worrying, that means you have a problem with trusting him and
-
he's here. And what we come together for,
-
what we come together for, is to smear our faith off on each
-
other. Because there's some people in
-
here that got more faith than you, there's some more people
-
that got more faith than you, and there's more people who have
-
more freedom than you. But when we come together and we
-
put the little bit of praise we got with the person who got a
-
whole lot of praise and we put the little bit of revelation
-
with the person that got a lot of revelation.
-
And we put our little bit of experience with somebody who got
-
a lot of experience. The way this fragrance goes up
-
into heaven, God's nostrils. It's a collective offering,
-
right? Some of y'all been pitched in on
-
some stuff in your life, haven't you?
-
Where where do I got fives on it?
-
Or that's old school, right? It's still here, right?
-
Where is the Let's go half on, same thing with our faith.
-
Let's pitch in on a collective offering to God and then watch
-
what comes down. It's not going to represent your
-
little bit. It's going to represent our a
-
lot. So let's lift our hands and and
-
and you can participate or you can watch people that's on you.
-
You go right ahead. Well, I'm going to get mines
-
because I don't know what I'm facing this week.
-
So I'm going to send some worship into tomorrow.
-
I'm not going to worry about tomorrow.
-
I'm. I'm going to put some worship on
-
tomorrow. Come on, let's lift our hands.
-
Because he's in. I'm going to do it one more time
-
and then the worship thing going to catch me up.
-
He's a Come on, lift your voice. Come on one more time.
-
The impossible on time. God, You God, you'll be
-
miracles. You'll never to make.
-
You'll never give up. Nothing's till 5 for your on
-
time, God, your heart is shown. Yes.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Come on. Sing that over yourself.
-
Come on, lift it up. Lift it up.
-
Come. On.
-
The. The.
-
The. He's faithful.
-
Absolutely. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Lord, we thank you that you're an on time God never failing.
-
Thank you that our waiting is not in vain.
-
Our waiting is not in vain. Come on say My waiting is not in
-
vain. My waiting is my vain.
-
Hallelujah. To be seated in the presence of
-
the Lord while I'm waiting. Hey, I want you to go down in
-
history. I want you to be known as a
-
worshipper more than anything else.
-
I want people to know me as a as a worshipper more than even a
-
pastor. I want to.
-
I want to out worship every last one of y'all yeah, I'm I'm
-
talking about like you know how crumpers be like I just want I
-
just want I just want to out worship.
-
You just want to bang that worship on you throw them doves
-
up all the worshippers in the building and God is faithful.
-
As we found out this morning, we finally, after two years, got
-
our building permit super excited.
-
There it is. There it is.
-
Wow. Hey Deborah.
-
Deborah was right though they accidentally put Lord Quest on
-
the paperwork. Not Love Quest.
-
Hey man. Lord, like, I'm going to put my
-
name on this thing, however you slice it, is love.
-
God is love. And so this is his house we
-
building and I'm excited to be building something for the Lord
-
that nations and generations will come to know him through
-
this House of worship. And I remember talking to a
-
pastor, they just got their building And it's it's true.
-
If you look around, there's not many pastors that build churches
-
or churches building churches from the ground up.
-
Nothing. You're either buying a church or
-
they're taking over another church because their time has
-
come and they're or they're merging churches, or they're
-
just renting out theaters or schools.
-
It's insane to go do a fixer over or build something from the
-
ground up. Folks ain't doing that.
-
But when God has a plan, it's less about the building.
-
And he's really trying to like if God go like tell you to marry
-
Gomer for those that don't know the prostitute in the Bible.
-
When if God going to ask you to marry a prostitute, he must have
-
a real good reason, right? So when God asks you to do
-
something out of the norm, it may be crazy, but I I read a
-
Bible that God God does some crazy stuff and that's what
-
that's why not everyone's made to walk with God in crazy way,
-
like too many people worried about people.
-
And when you do crazy stuff, there's a lot of other people's
-
whys that you can't answer. My why is not your why.
-
And I'm sorry that my why is not good enough for your
-
participation. But I'm the one that got to hear
-
the voice of the Lord at the end of the night.
-
And I got to get to an end of assignment.
-
And what I don't want to do is do well at the wrong assignment
-
and then spend years on calling or assignment and find out.
-
All right, you ready? You done with what you wanted to
-
do? That was good job.
-
I'll use it. But I still got this thing over
-
here for you. I don't got time to waste.
-
And so for some this building permit is just like, oh, you
-
filled out an application. And let me tell you something
-
now with this, this, this, this paperwork is just solidifies a
-
faith victory. It's you get what I'm saying?
-
This, this paper solidifies a enemy that tried to distill kill
-
and destroy. And this paper solidifies he's
-
defeated, right? You know, when somebody gets
-
diagnosed, they have cancer. And then years or months later,
-
it shows that it's in remission, right?
-
There's that paperwork that's worth getting in your hands to
-
prove to the natural eye. This is this is this ain't, man,
-
this just ain't permit. Let me tell you something.
-
The day God told us to get the building we have permission.
-
This don't gives up. This don't give us permission to
-
do the building right. This building permit is a sign
-
that the build that the city finally align they self with
-
God's work. We've been we've been standing.
-
We've had to stand long enough for the city to say, yes, Lord,
-
you see what they did? They wrote.
-
Lord Quest. Yes, Lord Quest.
-
Place of worship. Hallelujah.
-
All right, moving right along. Let's give it up for our first
-
time attendees, one more time. Thank you so much.
-
Hallelujah. And then can we get that that
-
that heat heater on right there that's just up in here like,
-
hey, can we can we. It do got a vision and a mission
-
and they the one that's off. There you go, buddy.
-
Hallelujah. Thank you so much.
-
NTNT. You're a faithful man.
-
Thank you, Sir. Thank you.
-
Thank you. And you got to be nice to to the
-
man with the fire because he'll fool around and burn his garage
-
up. You know what's so crazy is let
-
me let me this something just came to my mind right.
-
I'm, I'm looking at. I'm looking at our little our
-
little patio heaters just laying in like a like a church hat.
-
Like a mother's church hat. Oh, man.
-
And the temptation sometime is to point out the the raggedy
-
parts of the journey. And do you know how much you
-
belittle and undermine the goodness of God when you point
-
to the glory down the road, as if where you are is not
-
glorious? Because what what Jesus coming
-
off of his throne to die for me tells me is God saw glory in my
-
ratchet to me. When we get over there, God's
-
going to be like I don't. I don't want to cut a ribbon.
-
I don't want to enter next door without hearing the Lord saying
-
Well done for next door, well done for the tough season, Well
-
done for the for the cold, well done for when it was raining,
-
well done for when the tents fell down, y'all put them back
-
up. Well done for making beauty out
-
of ashes, well done. So then when we get to next
-
door, see what God's about to bless us with in the years to
-
come. There's going to be folks that's
-
like who y'all think y'all are, but they don't even understand
-
what we've been through. See, that's what I'm saying.
-
God is, God is. God is trying to give some
-
people some new testimony, some new story, some people that
-
really got it gritty and dirty because there's a generation
-
that just want it easy, right? But but there needs to be the
-
believers that got some grit, some gritty believers.
-
So we're going to tap into this conversation, this message, this
-
sermon, this word cry holy, the return to the fear of God.
-
And I feel like this is man all that God is about to do.
-
As he was blessing his children, and as they were, he was moving
-
them from one place to another, covering them cloud by day, fire
-
by night, going before them, getting behind them, splitting
-
the sea, providing, providing manner for them and.
-
Taking care of the soles at a feet.
-
He always was crying this one thing out.
-
I want y'all to hear me see on. I want y'all to hear me as God
-
is providing for you every day. There's one thing that he keeps
-
crying out. Don't forget me.
-
I've taken care of you. I'm going to take care of you.
-
I've protected you. When you didn't know how to
-
protect yourself. I healed your body.
-
All I'm asking you to do is don't forget me.
-
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. I'm going to make a way out of.
-
No way. I'm going to make your crooked
-
path straight. I'm going to bring water in the
-
desert. Did you get what I'm saying?
-
All I want from you is your worship.
-
Tithe. And offering is not about your
-
money. It's about your worship.
-
Forgiving someone is not about letting something go.
-
It's about giving him your heart and not letting bitterness have
-
it. All he wants is you.
-
Don't forget me. I'm.
-
I'm going to be. I'm going to bring the building
-
permit. But can you worship me without
-
it? So when it comes, you don't
-
worship it. Somebody was like how you feel.
-
And I'm like, this morning I almost forgot.
-
I had to tell y'all we got a building permit and it wasn't
-
like, I'm not excited, but but I wasn't waiting for it in the
-
same way. Like like my life didn't pause
-
because the building permit didn't show up.
-
I wasn't depressed, I didn't lack nothing.
-
I didn't have a crappy attitude, right?
-
I didn't lose my joy over waiting for somebody to call me
-
back. So when it showed up, it was
-
like, hey, how you doing? Been waiting for you.
-
Come on, join me. I'm not waiting for you.
-
I'm not waiting for a man. I'm not waiting for a wife.
-
I'm not waiting for a promotion. Promotion is going to join me.
-
I'm the value, not the promotion.
-
I'm the value, not the wife. I'm the value, not the kids.
-
I'm the value, not the government.
-
So when it shows up, it's like, hey, about time I told you you
-
was coming, right? No, because along the way it's
-
hard to try to remember God when you in trouble if you haven't
-
remembered him when you wasn't. Here's here's what remember
-
means. I remember a moment.
-
I remember a time I remember your faithfulness.
-
Right You I practice, and some of you practice remembering His
-
faithfulness. If you don't remember it when
-
there's no pressure, then under pressure you for sure don't
-
forget and you're going to try to remember something you have
-
no connection with. You're going to try to be
-
intimate with a God that you wasn't intimate with before.
-
Tragedy and pressure cannot drive your intimacy.
-
Intimacy has to be something you long with.
-
God, he's real. He's a person.
-
He's a spirit. He's his personality.
-
He he created us. He's a creator.
-
He wakes us up every morning. He protects us.
-
He covers us. He has a sense of humor.
-
Let me Some of y'all probably didn't know that God has a sense
-
of humor. You should smile if especially
-
if you say He's your God, right? If your God's alive, you should
-
look it right. Let the world know that you
-
serve a God that's alive and real, and he has control and he
-
has. He's in the driver's seat of
-
your life. People with their minds set on
-
you, you keep completely whole. I love this because he tells me
-
here it is my responsibility. Is is keep fixed on him.
-
Keep my mind set on him. His responsibility.
-
Keep me whole. He is invested in my wholeness.
-
When I am invested in him being my Lord, it is my mind set on
-
him. So when trouble comes, what
-
comes out of me is what I'm set on.
-
No, they didn't make you mad. They didn't.
-
They they they didn't. They made him make you mad, but
-
they didn't make you respond that way.
-
That whole little response is you, not them.
-
That was in that them cuss words came out of your heart.
-
That bitterness came out of your heart, you bitter.
-
They just made you mad. They just pushed the button.
-
Right. You you a vending machine.
-
Don't be a vending machine. Right.
-
You're you're a vending machine and and and people come every
-
now and then and sent to press buttons.
-
Yeah. You ever, you ever, you ever
-
press a button and get something that you didn't press.
-
I want Doritos today. I didn't want Cheetos.
-
I want Doritos. And there's things and
-
situations that's meant to come in your life in and it's not to
-
show God that you still bitter or mad or angry or don't have
-
self-control or you know, promiscuous or any of that.
-
It's it's got to show you. It's for you to find out that
-
you ain't all that far. Along as you think you.
-
Are you come to church? Woo.
-
Proud of you? High.
-
But how's church doing for you? You bring people to church.
-
You invite people to church. Awesome.
-
You receive Jesus as your Lord and savior, so you're not going
-
to hell. Woo.
-
That's it. Really.
-
You're worth more than that? I don't.
-
I don't have to wait to experience heaven.
-
I have to wait to experience the fullness of it.
-
But man, my life has changed. Real time, real time.
-
And I've had to kick toxicity out and toxic people out of my
-
life. And sometimes getting toxins
-
out. Your life is lonely, but you're
-
getting clean. You're getting your peace back.
-
I'd much rather be lonely with God's peace than to have a
-
friend with me that's always bringing around some old dead,
-
heavy, dark, you know what I'm saying?
-
That's for somebody in here. Hallelujah.
-
Don't feel bad for being free. All right?
-
Let me just read the text. OK?
-
All right. Let me read the text.
-
He says that he keeps you steady on your feet because this person
-
stays with it and they don't quit.
-
They depend on God and they keep at it.
-
Because in the Lord, Here you go, God, You have a sure thing.
-
Let me tell you something. You can have your Boo.
-
You can have your boyfriend. Let me.
-
I promise. Let me tell you something right
-
now. There's a high chance y'all
-
going to break up. I'm not hating.
-
I'm stating facts. Especially if y'all don't.
-
If y'all not pursuing God the same way.
-
So have your little rendezvous right now.
-
Go. Go ahead, do the Doo.
-
Do the humpty hump all you want to.
-
But let me tell you something, while you exchanging your soul,
-
just remember there's a high risk that they going to run off
-
with it and the next person you with ain't going to just have
-
you. They going to have them deal
-
with your pain, deal with your bruises and stop looking for
-
band aids and patches, gauzes. You know what I'm saying?
-
You ever seen a gauze that was bled through?
-
You need stitches, not a new gauze, right?
-
You need healing, not a Band-Aid.
-
I know folks be mad at me. They be mad at me.
-
But I'm not hating. I'm just you just ran into a
-
spot where we telling you the truth.
-
Hallelujah. That's the father's hard talking
-
to you, right, pastor? Why did it say Pastor Doug,
-
Pastor Doug. Amen.
-
Whatever. Amen.
-
Right. You get what I'm saying?
-
People come in. They just want you to read the
-
Bible to him. I'm reading the Bible and I'm
-
interpreting it for you right now.
-
He says he gives perfect peace to those whose mind stays on
-
him, not who could find somebody.
-
Your your peace is not in someone who looks like they got
-
peace. Your peace is in peace.
-
It's in. It's in the Prince of Peace.
-
Trust me, I've tried it. Searched all over.
-
Couldn't find nobody. Searched high and low.
-
Still couldn't find nobody. Nobody.
-
Great. All right.
-
That's good. That's good.
-
That's good. That's good.
-
That's good. That's good, Right?
-
This is Bible, right? We're we're faithful.
-
We are faithful to the king. And when we are faithful to the
-
king, you get what I mean. A life of fear in the Lord, or
-
the fear of God is a life focused and fixed and nurtured
-
by God, right? Jesus says I get my nutrition.
-
I get nurtured. I get my satisfaction from doing
-
the Father's will. My nourishment.
-
My vitamin C, My daily greens? Right my my, my, my, My
-
probiotics right the vitamin. D Come on.
-
Come on, come on. What else?
-
What else? Huh.
-
Magnesium. All of that.
-
I get that. Why you taking all them pills?
-
A life in the fear of God is when we draw near to Him.
-
It's a life of awe. It's an IA life of hallow
-
respect greatly adore, venerate, take on which one we take on his
-
heart. We love what he loves.
-
We hate what he hates. It's to hate sin.
-
It's to hate injustice. It's to give him your full
-
attention. Fear of God should lead to a
-
life of obedience, not compromise.
-
Understand he is a consuming fire and when he shows up, it's
-
not to tickle us and make us feel well when the Lord shows up
-
like real revival exposes. Don't don't come telling me.
-
Oh, my God. The fire of God was in the house
-
tonight. OK?
-
What did he expose? What did he reveal to you about
-
you? Because when he shows up, he
-
show you you. And you like that's still there.
-
I thought I dealt with that how many times?
-
I mean, during the fast, how many people had that?
-
I thought I dealt with that moment, Way too many people.
-
Hallelujah. I thought I dealt with that.
-
Here's what I want you to know is he's dealt with it.
-
Just because you haven't dealt with it don't mean he has not
-
dealt with it. Right?
-
So the consuming fire of the Lord, it prunes, it purifies, it
-
protects, it points, it gives direction, right?
-
The fire of God gives direction. The passion of God gives
-
purpose. It gives direction, right.
-
There's some things that that you don't respond with joy to
-
right now because something else has the affection of your heart.
-
But boy, when God gets a hold of your heart and his effect, your
-
affections is his affections. There's some stuff you thought
-
you'd never be excited about. You, You over here, you over
-
here. Excited.
-
Like I never like to go on walks.
-
Now. This isn't something The Lord,
-
you know. I found the Lord and all of a
-
sudden like walks now this and I'm not but my wife like walks
-
and in the beginning. She used to be like, hey, what
-
do you want to do? Let's.
-
Go for a walk, like, Nah, I'm cool.
-
I'm cool. I don't.
-
I don't want to walk right now. But man, all of a sudden as as
-
God got a. Hold of my.
-
Heart for my wife and our marriage.
-
I'm like babe, let's go for a walk.
-
She'd be like, Nah, I'm cool. So the Lord left her and and
-
joined my life. Amen.
-
To be on fire for God, we must carry the fear of God.
-
We find the flames of God in the fear of God.
-
The fear of God is not this scary thing.
-
It doesn't mean be afraid of God and I find many more.
-
Many people are more afraid of God than Revere God.
-
The fear of God is the firm foundation of a healthy Kingdom
-
diet. The fear of God is the firm
-
foundation of everything good in the Kingdom of heaven.
-
Exodus 3 we went over this morning, said the Angel of God
-
appeared to him. Moses in flames of fire, blazing
-
out of the middle of the Bush. He looked.
-
The Bush was blazing away, but it did not burn up.
-
Moses said. What's going on here?
-
I can't believe this. Amazing.
-
Why doesn't this Bush burn? Moses is awestruck.
-
God has his attention. It's not that God can't get your
-
attention, but but but do will you give him your attention?
-
It's one thing for him to get our attention.
-
It's another thing for you to give it to him.
-
This burning Bush represents God's miraculous energy and
-
sacred light and illumination in the burning heart of purity and
-
love and clarity. These moments, these burning
-
Bush moments, occur when we sense that God is seeking our
-
attention, speaking to us, and calling us to participate.
-
In what? He is doing in our midst.
-
Burning Bush Moments change our lives and the lives of those
-
around us. No, it's not just a coincidence.
-
You keep hearing the same word over and over because that's
-
your burning Bush moment. You keep circling back to that
-
thing he's trying to change in your life because it's a burning
-
Bush moment. Remember, it is burning and it
-
does not consume the thing. God has not changed His mind
-
about what He's requiring of you.
-
The Bush is burning in your life.
-
The requirement is still on the table.
-
The deal is still on the table. God still has need of you.
-
And so we need to recognize these burning Bush moments in
-
our lives, because accepting them and moving forward in them
-
or running from them always starts a new season in our life.
-
And sometimes the burning Bush is to reflect your wretchedness.
-
I know we wish every season was about you, right you right, you
-
right, Lord, he says. Even him correcting you is a
-
blessing. Him correcting you is his glory.
-
The only reason you are aware of your sin is because his glory is
-
on you. Bible says that.
-
God saw that Moses stopped to look.
-
Can you just stop for a moment in your life?
-
I know it's hard to look at wounds.
-
I know it's hard to look at the plan again because we think God
-
might tweak the plan. But but a good God tweaking it
-
is always beneficial. Come on, come on, come on.
-
Tonight. Give God permission to tweak it,
-
Lord. Go on ahead.
-
Get under the hood. Tweak what you got to tweak.
-
Come on, tweak my plans. Tweak my dreams.
-
Come on, tweak. Tweak them.
-
Tweak them, Lord. Tweak them, Lord, I'm telling
-
you some of y'all thinking of crackheads when I say tweak.
-
Huh. You guys are hilarious.
-
Moses, Moses, Moses, Moses, he said, Yes, I'm right here.
-
God said don't come any closer. And I said this morning, isn't
-
isn't it crazy how God told Moses?
-
Stay right there. Don't come closer and then tell
-
us New Testament believers. God says come draw close to me,
-
right? Because there's this transaction
-
in Christ that he tore the veil. We get to be close and intimate
-
with God like some of our heroes never experience.
-
Who? Am I forget why?
-
Was I born in 1970 something or 80 something or 90 something?
-
Why was I born a New Testament believer?
-
I don't know if I would have trusted no priests going to
-
sacrifice for me. Like, brother, what was you
-
doing last night? But we got one final high priest
-
once and for all that we can now go before the Lord ourselves.
-
Who am I that I get to experience this side of the
-
covenant? I'm a New Testament participant,
-
God said. That's why you got to get here.
-
On Wednesday, we started a new series, Faith that works.
-
You got to get here. You you got to get here on
-
Wednesday nights to talk about this faith thing.
-
God said don't come any closer. Remove your sandals.
-
Take them shoes off. You're standing on holy ground.
-
As I said this morning, man, we got to come to God, correct?
-
Like we got we got to just stop treating this house.
-
It was a day that some of it could be religion or but it's a
-
day as kids we didn't just walk in God's house any kind of way.
-
I see my kids running around. Hey, hey, stop.
-
Sit your butt down, right. I got.
-
I didn't got my ear pulled. I didn't got my mouth.
-
My lips backed. I demanded me to sit sit you and
-
they come up they cussing in the church they sit your Lord now.
-
But there was this trying to get me to respect God's house with
-
you cussing at me. Mom what's wrong with you?
-
But but there's this reference that's just not there no more.
-
We don't walk in church and. All no more.
-
We the call, We the We the We the Espresso Church.
-
We walk up to the cafe. And then we get the cafe,
-
because it's. 2024 God said go and give them a little latte.
-
Give them a little latte for they for they for they not let
-
them carry their little water bottles because they got it.
-
There's a healthy Vancouver. So leave them.
-
They got to have a water and they will find the church with
-
coffee breaks. They will find the church that
-
let them carry their water around the church, right.
-
And so you got to let them in. Then they leave their cups just
-
dripping on the ground. But we come in.
-
We just like. What?
-
What are you doing? This ain't the club we worship
-
in the King of Kings. This.
-
Turn it up. All kind of you always show what
-
are we doing. Oh, my God.
-
And why happens? I'm talking about this.
-
Everybody's starting to take a drink.
-
Nicole P Deal. Linda back there.
-
I'm like now everybody I get, I get it.
-
It's marketing. It's marketing.
-
It's marketing. But I'm like, what are we doing?
-
Like you rarely find people that come in here.
-
Oswald, he'd come here and walk straight to the altar and he, I
-
don't know how he do it. He's just back, back, straight
-
up. On his knees till the service
-
started, 92 years old. Him and his wife he come down
-
here and maybe. That's why he was right.
-
I ain't seen him down here in a minute.
-
Let me. He got your wife.
-
He got your wife. He.
-
Got you. In all this land, you get what
-
I'm saying? Listen, y'all, but what I'm
-
saying there's a time where the people we get here early for
-
prayer. Man.
-
Sunday, Sunday morning, man. Folks be seeing man.
-
Folks, I'm going to start greeting people next time with
-
this one time. They be coming in hecka laid
-
like, what are you doing? Like there's no kind of
-
anticipation. There's just and then Bernadette
-
to talk to him before they enter the Holy Holies for 10 minutes.
-
Now that's why I'm just playing. I'm just playing.
-
You used to. You used to.
-
But hey, but you got to have a Bernadette experience.
-
That's the whole ministry right there.
-
Hallelujah. That's the love Quest
-
experience. You get what I'm saying?
-
Now now now the reason we take a little longer is because we
-
trying to get y'all to a place like what if y'all, what if
-
y'all came here on time? We say on time, God.
-
Oh man. But what if we did shift our
-
posture and say, no, I got to get in the House of God.
-
He's going to do something today, and I'm coming and I need
-
to hear and I need to contribute.
-
That's the part too, to understand.
-
You contribute to the atmosphere, so you show up a
-
little earlier to get in the attitude and posture of prayer.
-
Don't come late and go order coffee man.
-
I love what I do, man. I love it.
-
Hallelujah. God saw that.
-
He stopped and looked and he said this is holy ground.
-
Then he said I'm the God of your father.
-
I am. And when God remind you he's
-
generational, I thank God that my harvest is not just pending
-
on my seed. This is why even the little bit
-
you give, you don't understand it.
-
It activates and it shakes up the seed Grandmama and Mama Nim
-
gave. There's so much backed up
-
harvest to be released in our lives.
-
Moses is faithfulness. He's sent back to contribute to
-
setting his people free. And the Lord says, I've heard
-
their cries, I've seen the bondage.
-
And as I said this morning, the Lord man, y'all got to go listen
-
to it because I can't put it together for you like that.
-
Like the Lord has heard your cries, he's heard your cries,
-
he's he's seen the afflictions. And he is showing up to lose the
-
enemy of his generational plot, to kill, steal and destroy.
-
And he's not just setting us free from, but he's setting us
-
free too. Wide open spaces, I don't know.
-
I don't know about you. But wide open spaces, I don't
-
know about you, but I don't. I don't like like I need room.
-
See, I'm I I I got wide open space.
-
Faith I, I, I, I live over there in Langley somewhere fooling
-
with y'all tell y'all where I live I live I live over in
-
Langley somewhere and. These warehouses is huge and
-
ain't. Nobody renting them yet.
-
They just building them because they know they gon.
-
They, they, they gon get rented. They gonna get least the
-
anticipation of a developer, the eyes to see that this area, that
-
thousands and thousands and thousands of people are coming.
-
So you better get a piece of that right there.
-
I know for a fact God LED us on this corner.
-
Even if we only here for five years.
-
We bought the boy. You don't even understand God
-
sending people from all over this world.
-
And you know who moving in. You know who bought those
-
apartments? You know who buying up these
-
condos? People that don't live here.
-
Yeah, you feel me? Wide open spaces.
-
God's holiness isn't about fear. It's not about being afraid of
-
him. It's about our freedom.
-
God's holiness is about worship, not about our worry.
-
God desires our wonder, our awe, and sometimes it's not about
-
goosebumps and and worship pads. Sometimes it takes intentionally
-
remembering what He's brought you out of.
-
And you say he's good for doing that.
-
Do you even see how good it is that he woke you up?
-
Do you even see the blessing of. Yeah, you went through that and
-
it sucked, but it didn't kill you, right?
-
Honoring God comes with proper perspective as well.
-
I was talking to our marriages this morning, our married
-
couples this morning, and talking to them about one of the
-
biggest things that the enemy uses to divide households is
-
accusations. The accuser of the brethren he
-
gets, He plants seeds. That's how he got Eve.
-
Yeah. God, God.
-
Trying to keep something from you, huh?
-
And he plants them in question form to make you curious.
-
And one question can have you questioning for a long time.
-
God wants our wonder. Our all Second Corinthians 3
-
says it this way. So until now, whenever the Old
-
Testament is being remember we just left Old Testament Moses
-
Law, he says. Until now, whenever the Old
-
Testament is being read. Until now.
-
Whenever the Old Testament was being read, the same blinding
-
comes over their hearts. But the moment one turns to the
-
Lord, within what open heart, the veil is lifted, and they
-
what see. So might I bid to you?
-
When we're not living in the fear of God, we're more than
-
likely living a law based faith because I have to turn to Him
-
with a open heart, revering Him. And what happens when I Revere
-
him with my open heart? The veil is lifted.
-
Now I can see oh, I can't hear from the Lord.
-
I ain't heard from him in a long time.
-
Why, it's so hard to hear from Got veil.
-
You've been dating Lavelle. You've been dating Lavelle.
-
The veil is over your eyes. Praying with a veil over your
-
face. Just hoping and wishing.
-
Just throwing, Just throwing prayers up just right.
-
You just throwing, Blessing going up doesn't calm down.
-
And you see people that's walking in it and you like how
-
they why they like some man ain't going to that church no
-
more, something ain't right. And then you start getting
-
curious because the Word ain't working for you, but you're not
-
taking the Word and working it right.
-
So you get. So you start getting picky and
-
thinking of a change in church is going to bring blessing to
-
you. First of all, you don't go to
-
church to get stuff. You go to church to encounter
-
Jesus. The veil is lifted and they see.
-
Watch this. Now the Lord I'm referring to is
-
the Holy Spirit. And wherever He is, Lord,
-
wherever not, where not, not, not wherever He is.
-
This is Keith, Not wherever He is, but wherever He is.
-
What Lord there is, what freedom we can all draw close to Him
-
with the veil removed from our faces, and with no veil.
-
We all become like mirrors with no veil.
-
We're now in his face, he's in our face and we become like
-
mirrors who brightly reflect the glory.
-
So when people come around, you see all the new age and all this
-
other stuff, they they talk about the light.
-
The light. No, it's only one light.
-
It's only one light. Stop playing with so many
-
lighters. It's only one light.
-
The sun sets you free. You're free indeed.
-
Stop sticking your face in any kind of light.
-
You were made out of and from the glory of God.
-
And you were created to reflect His glory.
-
When the veil is removed, you become like mirrors who brightly
-
reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus.
-
We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from
-
one brighter level of glory to another.
-
My life in Christ, I should always be going from level to
-
level, glory to glory leveling up.
-
And this glorious transfiguration comes from the
-
Lord, who is the Spirit. The fear of the Lord takes us
-
from glory to glory, glory to glory to glory to glory to.
-
I promise y'all that's not a part of it, but it's not a part
-
of it. All right, all right, all right.
-
And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse.
-
Nice little chimes, buddy. That was awesome.
-
Shoot out the stock of Jesse. David's father should come and
-
shoot. I don't know about you, but I'm
-
so. I'm so glad to see my life go
-
from glory to glory. I don't know about you, but I
-
would be a frustrated Christian if my life wasn't Now I'm not
-
talking externally. What y'all see?
-
Oh, it seems like you're doing good.
-
No, I'm talking about authentically within my soul.
-
I am maturing and growing. No, no, no, no.
-
I'm not increasing just in knowledge.
-
Right, because you got more knowledge don't mean you growing
-
puffed up with knowledge. It don't mean you're growing.
-
It doesn't mean you're transforming.
-
But it feels good to see yourself grow up, evolve and go
-
from glory to glory, says in a branch out of his roots shall
-
grow and bear fruit. All righty.
-
So I'm going to read this one more time, and there shall come
-
forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, David's father, and a
-
branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit.
-
This is pointing to Jesus, and the Spirit of the Lord shall
-
rest up on him. Watch this.
-
The Spirit of the Lord shall rest up on him.
-
Watch this one more time, the Spirit of the Lord.
-
Shall rest up on him, and this is how it will manifest the
-
Spirit of wisdom and understanding.
-
He will have the spirit of counsel and might.
-
He will have the spirit of knowledge and of the reverential
-
and obedient fear of the Lord. He shall have now where his body
-
look, look, look, look, and shall make him of quick
-
understanding. Here is key His delights, what
-
he delights in, what excites and what brings him joy,
-
satisfaction, contentment, confidence, courage, boldness.
-
Do you know where Jesus boldness came from?
-
Is His worship. His delight shall be in the
-
reverential and obedient fear of the Lord.
-
His His delight is in the worship of the Lord.
-
Worship is not something that you should feel like you got to
-
do to be cool with God. Oh, let let me lift my hands
-
like this is what Christians do. Let me get my worship playlist.
-
I should be listening to music, no?
-
The privilege to walk in the garden with God once again.
-
But I want to go back to something because I caught
-
something that I hadn't really caught on to.
-
The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, meaning the Holy
-
Spirit will be upon him, right? Is that what that says?
-
OK, The Spirit of wisdom, The Holy Spirit's wisdom and
-
understanding rest upon him. Is it?
-
Is this follow me? I mean, you could say no, you're
-
lying. You're you can't read whatever
-
you want to say, right? Is that what that says?
-
Then it goes on and says the spirit of counsel and Mike so
-
so. The These are manifestations of
-
the Holy Ghost upon him or upon us.
-
He then says that the Spirit of Knowledge and of the reverential
-
fear and obedient fear of the Lord, a part of the Holy
-
Spirit's sickness, is to help us walk in the fear of God.
-
That that that you cannot have the fear of God without a
-
relationship with the Holy Ghost.
-
You you can't have the fear of God and not have the leading of
-
the Holy Ghost. In other words, the fear of God
-
is a fruit of sonship. So when you talking about the
-
fruit of the Holy Ghost, it's hard to walk in love, meekness
-
and kindness and without the fear of the Lord.
-
I'm kind to you because I fear the Lord.
-
I forgive you because I fear the Lord.
-
I love you because I fear the Lord.
-
I don't mean I like you. I don't got to like you.
-
Walk with you. Because I fear the Lord.
-
I worship him, and he's been so good to me.
-
It's not like I'm old. If I don't do this, God's going
-
to be mad. No, God's like I understand why
-
you don't want to fool with them.
-
But can you do this for me real quick?
-
If you don't want to, you don't have to.
-
But can you just do it for me? And if you like?
-
Nah, I can't do it. God, He's like.
-
I get it. But when he finds someone that's
-
like God for you, I got you because Jesus did Father for
-
you. I'll go.
-
I'll go Stand in the gap for Terrance.
-
Right. The fear isn't like, Oh no.
-
The fear is like you, you, my homie.
-
Like I don't want to see you disappointed.
-
I don't want to see you disappointed in this situation,
-
God. So I'm going to stick in there.
-
I'm going to hang in there, Lord.
-
I'm going to forgive them because I don't want to see you.
-
It says where there's no faith. Like it's like he Hebrews 11/6.
-
Without faith it's impossible to please God.
-
What what my fear of the Lord is my gasoline to mobilize my
-
faith. So, so, so when I Revere God, it
-
takes the option out. It's like no, I got to do this
-
because the Lord requires this of me.
-
He has need of me. It removes the negotiating
-
always points back, Lord, you stepped in the gap for me.
-
So what you're asking for me is always stepping in the gap for
-
someone else. If God needs you to get wealthy,
-
that wealth isn't act of intercession.
-
OK, OK, you never looked at wealth as a means to
-
intercession. That that wealth ain't all for
-
you, but it's to get it to somebody else because he has
-
plans for them. It's to get somebody else out of
-
their struggle so they can focus on their purpose.
-
If you ever needed something and somebody that had it helped you,
-
they interceded. Lord, I fear you.
-
I worship you. You've been too good to me.
-
You. You.
-
Oh, you need me to get in the game?
-
It's going to be hard, he said. But I'm with you.
-
Look at that. Moses says Lord, if you don't go
-
with me, I'm not going. He didn't fear the Lord in an
-
unhealthy way, he said. God, I can't do this without
-
you. You ready?
-
I fear doing it alone. I don't want to do this without
-
you, Lord. That's reverence, that I'm going
-
to take my independent spirit off and think I'm.
-
I can do it alone and say God, No, no, no, no.
-
No matter how much doing it my way pleases my flesh, no matter
-
how much instant gratification I get doing it my way, if going
-
the long route through the wilderness means honoring you,
-
I'm going. To go through the wilderness
-
bringing you glory, not complaining.
-
Hallelujah the. Fear of the Lord.
-
Is a posture that leads to a lifetime of access to the
-
wonders of the Father's heart. Say it again.
-
The fear of the Lord is a posture that leads to a lifetime
-
of access to the wonders of the Father's heart, he said.
-
I give you the keys. He didn't say.
-
He didn't say you go shut government down.
-
He like man. I'm giving you the keys to my
-
heart and my mind. Revelation, strategy to advance
-
my Kingdom, which hell cannot stop.
-
The fear of the Lord is the prerequisite to a fulfilling
-
life. The fear of the Lord is the
-
prerequisite to a fulfilling life.
-
I'm not talking about fun life. I'm not talking about every now
-
and then. I'm not talking about no, I'm
-
talking about a fulfilling life, a life of wholeness.
-
Here it is. Here are Kingdom, Revelations,
-
words to live by, and words of wisdom given to empower you to
-
reign in life, written as proverbs by Israel's King
-
Solomon, David's son. Within these sayings will be
-
found the revelation of wisdom and the impartation of spiritual
-
understanding. I want you to see this, that
-
there are some things that can only be caught imparted.
-
It's a spiritual thing. You can read the proverbs all
-
you want to. It don't mean that you get the
-
proverb. It don't mean you're getting the
-
fruit from the proverb, he says. Use these proverbs as keys to
-
unlock. The treasures of true knowledge,
-
those who cling to these words, will receive discipline to
-
demonstrate wisdom in every relationship and to.
-
Choose what is right and just and fair.
-
The wisdom of God is connected to the fear.
-
Oh God, look at what he says. These proverbs will give you
-
great skill to teach the immature and make them wise, to
-
give you the understanding of their design and destiny.
-
For the wise, these proverbs will make you even wiser.
-
And for those with discernment, you will be able to acquire
-
brilliant strategies for leadership.
-
This is tough. This is tough.
-
This is so tough. Strategies.
-
You know this world is built on strategies.
-
You know the enemy. He developed strategies to
-
destroy you. You can't fight strategies with
-
thinking. You can't fight strategies with
-
complaining. You better have a game plan too.
-
And guess who got the game plan? The Lord strategies for
-
leadership. These Kingdom revelations will
-
break open your understanding to unveil the deeper meaning of
-
parables, poetic riddles and epigrams, and to unravel the
-
words of enigmas of the wise. Look at we cross the threshold
-
of true knowledge when we live in obedient devotion to God.
-
The fear of the Lord puts you in a class all by yourself.
-
The fear of the Lord puts you in a dimension of understanding
-
that even someone who has the PHHHD.
-
Right Joseph slave still called on to interpret things.
-
Let let me. This is a realm that smart
-
people are locked out of. I don't care how much book
-
smarts you have. This right here is AVIP section
-
in heaven. This is access to Hear me, hear
-
me, the James 15 says. Just ask for it.
-
As for wisdom, he'll give it to you.
-
There's a difference between just everyday wisdom to handle
-
daily affairs, then wisdom for strategies.
-
That only God can give you no back.
-
We cross the threshold of true knowledge when we live in
-
obedient devotion to God. Really stubborn know it alls
-
will never stop to do this for they scorn true wisdom and
-
knowledge. So got to do crazy stuff and
-
send men and women I don't know like myself to a super
-
intelligent, smart country like this smart province who has
-
amazing administration and all these these things.
-
And like to think and you know, send someone like myself or a
-
sin like the apostles to do some work in front of all the
-
scholars. And here's what the scholars
-
say. Who are these men that are
-
turning our city upside down? He says.
-
They didn't go to the same schools, but what we can tell
-
their work is evidence that they've been with the Lord.
-
That's where we heading, because our smart's not going to get us
-
out of this mess. You want to lead your family to
-
freedom? You better be the one that fear
-
the Lord. Please.
-
I know a lot of people come from other countries, get education
-
and more opportunity, and that's great.
-
But let me tell you do your family, your continent, your
-
country, your homeland, your bloodline, and your children
-
that haven't even came into this earth yet, do them a favor and
-
walk in the fear of the Lord. Because the fear of the Lord is
-
some keys gives you access to a dimension that is only for those
-
that fear the Lord. I am telling you that the fear
-
of the Lord unleashes the divine purpose and purposes of your
-
being and reality on earth. Fear of God moves heaven and
-
attracts the depths of our Father's heart, His presence and
-
His power, The fear of God. It is the beginning of wisdom.
-
It is the foundational for elite character and fundamental for
-
the fruit of the Spirit to take root in our lives.
-
The fear of God is the guarantee for godly success.
-
It is the core virtue of true worship.
-
It is the heart posture that produces health, long life,
-
riches, soul wealth, and the pink slip for Kingdom legacy.
-
It's guaranteed close at Psalm. Psalm 25.
-
For your name's sake, oh, Lord, pardon my iniquity and my guilt,
-
for they are great. Who is the man who reverently
-
fears and worships the Lord? Him.
-
Him. Say him him?
-
Shall he teach in the way that he should choose what he said is
-
the man or woman that fears the Lord?
-
He is the man and woman that God shall teach in the way that he
-
should choose. He himself shall dwell at ease.
-
Who is he? Himself, the man or the woman
-
that fears the Lord and worships the Lord shall dwell.
-
At ease. And ready his offspring shall
-
inherit the land. Your worship to the Lord impacts
-
your offspring. The secret of the sweet,
-
satisfying companionship of the Lord have they the sweet, the
-
sweet, satisfying companionship. But.
-
Intimacy, The relationship that we desire and long for it
-
belongs to those who fear, Revere and worship Him, and He
-
will show them who is them, those that fear Him and worship
-
Him. He will show them His covenant
-
and reveal to them it's deep inner meaning.
-
You see this access? My eyes are ever toward the
-
Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net.
-
You got to hear what I'm telling you.
-
For the worshipper, for the one that fears the Lord.
-
He is committed to get you out the snare.
-
I want you to relook at certain scriptures and I want you to see
-
when you hear all these blessings pronounced you see all
-
this God stuff we want it always will link back to a people that
-
worships him. It's not for the saved heathen
-
that want to live and do them Christian don't qualify for
-
promise. Son, daughter, reverence,
-
worship, getting saved. You good receive Jesus.
-
You going to heaven. Hallelujah Heaven on earth
-
Revere God. Victory on earth Revere God.
-
Water in your desert. Revere God.
-
Healing in the midst of disease. Revere God. 1000 Fold harvest in
-
the midst of famine, Revere God. A split See when you have no
-
other way to go but forward. Revere God.
-
Locking the mouths of a lion in the lion's den Revere God,
-
right? The fiery furnace just wasn't
-
another in the fire. If you look at their prop, their
-
posture before they got in the fire, they said I will not
-
worship you, I will worship him. The fire couldn't touch him
-
because they worship God even in the fire.
-
What if I told you? That God didn't hop in there.
-
Why do you go back and read that?
-
It didn't say that when they got in, God got in.
-
It said when the man looked in there, he saw another one, which
-
lets me know that their worship brought him in with them.
-
He didn't say, oh, he saw somebody else get in there.
-
No, it said. The man with natural eyes looked
-
in and saw there was a fourth one.
-
So what he didn't know is when you lock up true worshippers,
-
there's another one with them that you can't lock up.
-
Am I talking to anybody? Your worship goes not just
-
before you, but it goes with you.
-
So let them persecute you. There's one that they can't see,
-
that they're persecuting. Let them throw you in the lion's
-
den. You look at Daniel.
-
You didn't just put me in the lion's den.
-
You didn't just mess with my family.
-
You didn't just mess with me. You, I mean, you don't see who I
-
got with me. Lord, open them.
-
Open his eyes that he sees. There's more for us.
-
All I can say, man, whoever's watching, I don't know who
-
watching all I can say. I just felt this so strongly in
-
the back, like, you know, you you.
-
I believe there was a day where there was men and women that
-
walked the earth. And this could sound a little
-
crazy to some people, but it was so on my tongue to tell
-
somebody. You messed with the wrong
-
family. It was on my tongue to tell
-
somebody. I'm not mad at you, I'm turning
-
it. Over to the Lord.
-
And what you've done is you've messed with God's plan.
-
And we're doing everything the way we supposed to do it for the
-
Lord. So when you box with me, when
-
you mess with my family, you actually are going to have to
-
pay a like, like, it's worse than the Mafia, 'cause he going
-
correct you and then he going to keep you alive and he going to
-
love you and he going, he going, he going to turn your heart
-
around like you didn't messed around and got marked 'cause you
-
messed with a marked man. And I feel like there's there's
-
a time we're walking in that that that God is looking for
-
people to walk with him in such a way, like Elijah, where he's
-
like going here, call on your God.
-
I'm a stand right here. Call on your God.
-
Go right ahead. Go right ahead.
-
Worship your God. We going worship together and
-
let's see who God show up. Right.
-
So I'm saying you got to, you got to be still and know who you
-
belong to. You messing with the wrong
-
person in the wrong dispensation of time, right it it works in
-
the on the on the back end as well.
-
If I'm walking in a time, God got to get something to me and
-
my family and God got to get me somewhere and you mess with me
-
in the time God's trying to move me.
-
You don't come chasing after me in the Red Sea.
-
That Red Sea wasn't open for you.
-
That Red Sea wasn't meant for you to walk across with me.
-
You better hear what I'm telling you.
-
That Red Sea was to set me and my family free.
-
Not for you to mess with me. You want to mess with me while
-
I'm crossing my Red Sea? That's a dangerous place to mess
-
with my family. Come on.
-
Right there. There's some worship right there
-
that's a holy boldness right there.
-
You didn't mess with the wrong one.
-
That I look at Jesus. That's how he walked.
-
I look at the apostles. That's how they walked.
-
Oh, you going to throw me in prison?
-
Go ahead. We going to put a praise on this
-
thing that's going to bust open the gates of hell and we going
-
to set some families free. You put me in, you put me in
-
prison. The person that locked me up
-
going to be baptized tomorrow. There, there's there's got to be
-
a whole. I just feel.
-
I just feel the Lord saying there needs to be a holy
-
boldness in his children, not an ignorant arrogance.
-
Now that you live in any old kind of way and you are.
-
I'm God's child, No, no, no, no, no.
-
You you got the private resume to stand bold.
-
This is a boldness that God backs up where you can look at
-
the enemy straight in his face and say, man, you didn't mess
-
with me. You didn't mess with the wrong
-
address. You didn't mess with the wrong
-
household, right? There's an army back in me
-
because when you read these scriptures, this is what I'm
-
saying. The man or woman that reveres
-
the Lord is not just this cute little moment where we going to
-
have worship moments and like, oh, he's with me.
-
No, like like the Lord is like the God of Abraham, Isaac, and
-
Jacob he. Showed up to Moses.
-
He's saying I'm here to fight for the bloodline.
-
That's what I'm saying. There's you met.
-
You messing with me, man. I'm, I'm living it.
-
It's like the one, the widow woman who was in debt.
-
They was about to come take her kids and look at what she told
-
God. She said I need you to help me
-
because my husband served you a person that lives in the
-
reverence and the worship of the Lord.
-
There is a blood bought right to place a demand on your
-
inheritance. I get to call.
-
The Bible says that Jesus could have easily called on legions of
-
help. And I'm telling you, man, there
-
is a price to pay to see our city burn for Jesus.
-
And that's some men and women that will don't mind walking
-
holy. Simple as that.
-
Some men and women that's that's willing to set they self aside.
-
I can only imagine the the boldness that some of the
-
generals have walked in. Some of the ones we hear about
-
these books we celebrate the Billy Grahams.
-
We celebrate these men and women, these legends, but the
-
price they paid for the results we celebrate.
-
Where's the people that's willing to pay the price for the
-
fruit? Is it tough sometimes?
-
Yeah, it is it. But is it rewarding?
-
Absolutely. I don't know about you, but I
-
want my children to carry something that's worth more than
-
money. I want to leave my kids
-
something that money can't buy. Right where you are.
-
Just lift your hands. I I'm putting that in the
-
atmosphere. I'm just telling.
-
I'm putting hell on the you to mess with the wrong family.
-
You to mess with the wrong children.
-
You to mess you, man. Hey.
-
And I got the courage and boldness right now to say that
-
the enemy will will his his plans will be disrupted.
-
Quick can I can can somebody stand with me on that like the
-
enemy's plans will be disrupted. Quick.
-
I'm talking about wearing a season where we're not about to
-
This is a suddenly this is a suddenly.
-
Yeah they was bound in slavery. But man that that red seat
-
opened up real quick. I'm just saying that the the
-
Lord is about to intervene real quick.
-
Come on, come on. Believe.
-
I feel it right now, that there's some stuff that the
-
enemy got to let go right now. There's some daughters He got to
-
let go. There's some husbands He got to
-
let go. There's some mothers.
-
He got to let go. Come on.
-
He got to let it go now. You didn't mess with the wrong
-
family. You didn't mess with the wrong
-
plans. You didn't mess with the wrong
-
son. You didn't mess with the wrong
-
daughter. Come on right here.
-
Intercede. Intercede.
-
Intercede. You didn't mess with the wrong
-
marriage. Come on.
-
The word says he's prying the hands of the enemy off right
-
now. Take your hands off right now.
-
Interrupt the plans. I'm sorry.
-
I'm sorry. Look.
-
Like, like like. Look, look, you you you messed
-
with minds. I I don't.
-
I don't. I really don't care.
-
Let you you with me. Here's my prayer.
-
Lord, do whatever you got to do. Just keep them safe.
-
Look, I don't care if your car got to go on flat to let my
-
people go. I don't care if you got to lose
-
your job to let my people. I don't care if you got to kick
-
got kicked out your apartment. I don't care what got to happen.
-
But whatever is mine. I have a right to come get it.
-
Just keep them safe. I don't care.
-
I don't care how getting my family back.
-
Inconvenience is your life. You shouldn't have never messed
-
with God's child. He's disrupting it.
-
He's disrupting it. Make room for the one you
-
thought would never get free. Yeah.
-
Make room. Make room for the one you
-
thought would never get broken out of those shackles.
-
Make room for the one you thought would never sober up.
-
Make room the one you just finished giving up on.
-
Make room. Make room.
-
Just one more push. One more push.
-
You didn't mess with the wrong family.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Sons and daughters coming home
-
there. There's some people that that
-
their lives about to be inconvenienced and interrupted
-
for the greatest transformation of their lives gone forth.
-
We send forth the God of the Angel armies right now.
-
You will not bully my family again.
-
You will not bully my family again.
-
Set my people free right now. Come on, set my Mama free.
-
Set my I don't know who you got to pray for right now, but
-
somebody needs your intercession in this moment.
-
The Lord of Host is here right now.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need, I need to pull up Elder
-
John with that or Brett somebody this is just this just be.
-
I don't know why this is so strong in my spirit.
-
It's it's I'm reminded of the of the the few times like, but just
-
think of the fiery furnace. How many times God showed up in
-
a radical way for his people And then the people that held him
-
captive said let him go, like the fear of the Lord came upon
-
them because how God broke through.
-
And I just believe, Elder John, that we're in a time where God's
-
going to have to really inconvenience some people to
-
prove. It's not just to prove to us.
-
But it's to prove the people. Prove to the people that have
-
inflicted pain on your life or or that have been used by the
-
enemy to mess with your family. Like, let me tell you something,
-
I'm trying to get this in your spirit.
-
You actually have a blood bought right to take a personal
-
ownership for whatever has messed with your household.
-
Like the passive, like oh God, there does come a time like
-
right now. Like I haven't felt like this in
-
a minute. Like there comes like like like
-
when you run home and you just got beat up and you go home and
-
run in the. House and your Mama say.
-
Come here. Baby who?
-
What happened? Who hit you?
-
And he's like, oh uh uh and your Mama go put her shoes.
-
On and say we we bout to. That's this moment that there's
-
there's an enemy that has been trying to bully.
-
Now here's the trick. I want you to see the good news
-
in it. The reason the attack isn't on
-
you is because he's. Figured out he can't have you.
-
So he's messing with people close to your heart.
-
But God has set you free. So you could be like the Mama.
-
God is giving you strength. God has put the words, the
-
weapons in your mouth so that you can put your shoes on.
-
And right now you can say, OK, 'cause right now they might be
-
having fun. They might think that's the best
-
thing for them. But God's saying your prayers
-
are about to send a word to disrupt their comfort.
-
You send some words to their prison.
-
Right now I'm talking about this.
-
This is this. This ain't no little soft stuff
-
though. This is that.
-
This is that it. Them taking my earrings out.
-
I'm putting Vaseline on my face and we bout to go do the thing.
-
No, no, no. I I what I'm praying is right
-
now, in this moment of intercession, that God's heart
-
for them comes up on you and I need you to feel the urgency of
-
them needing to be snatched out. Snatched out.
-
I'm talking about disrupted. I'm talking about interrupted.
-
I don't care if it's not a family member or somebody you
-
know, but who is God putting on your heart right now that needs
-
this moment of intercession? I feel the Lord a host up on us
-
right now and he is like the the centurion man he's he's like Oh
-
yeah or just send your word. He said send your word.
-
We're going to talk about that on Wednesday he said.
-
I know, I know, I know I, he said.
-
He said, I know I have slaves. I told them when to go and they
-
go. He's talking about the word he's
-
saying. Lord Jesus, I know if you send
-
your word, your word going to go because I've sent people and
-
they went, I'm telling you that same powers in this.
-
Room. Send a word.
-
Send it to an address. Send it to a name.
-
Send it to a city. Send it to a continent.
-
Send his word right now. Lord, disrupt.
-
Go right ahead. Disrupt.
-
Disrupt I don't care if they in bed together.
-
I don't care what I don't care. I don't care in the name of
-
Jesus disrupted. Interrupt the plan of the enemy
-
to steal, kill and destroy. Lord, we break the cycle of
-
destruction now in the name of Jesus.
-
We break the spirit of rebellion now in the name of Jesus.
-
And we say let our daughter go. We say let our son go.
-
We say let our mother go. We say let our uncle go, let our
-
coworker go. Let our brother go in the name
-
of Jesus. Come on.
-
Sickness. We bind you in the name of
-
Jesus. Alcoholism, We bind you in the
-
name of Jesus. Drug addiction, We bind you in
-
the name of Jesus. Come on, open your mouth.
-
Saints, musicians, open your mouth.
-
I want you to grab your cell phone.
-
And whoever was on your heart want you to send them a text
-
right now. And it says these words be free
-
in Jesus name. The Lord loves you and He's
-
after you. May our hearts weep for who
-
God's heart weeps for. May our heart become a place
-
where God can share his heart. When you send that text message,
-
I want you to receive it. It's done.
-
Your text message is an act of sending the word.
-
Glory of the Lord is not just upon us for no reason.
-
It's the fight for those who don't know how to fight for
-
themselves and send just those words.
-
Don't send more. Don't don't send the Amplified
-
Classic version. Just send those words.
-
Be free. The Lord is after you.
-
He loves you. I'm praying for you.
-
And after you send that text, I want you to lift your hands, and
-
may the may the Spirit of God move upon your heart and fill it
-
with Compassion for that person. The word says The love of God is
-
spread abroad in our hearts. My Holy Spirit, may Compassion
-
flood your soul right now, even for those that have mistreated
-
you. And may these not be tears of
-
defeat. May they be tears of faith.
-
May they be tears of filling God's heart for your loved ones.
-
Because let me tell you, if you love them, you can only imagine
-
how much God loves them. May you be strengthened by God's
-
love, not weakened by your worry.
-
This is a season I am telling you right now, this is a season
-
where a part of God's visitation is him fighting for you.
-
This is why we said all you got to do in this season, your
-
biggest test this year, is to stand because he's fighting for
-
you. He's fighting for you.
-
He's fighting for us. He's fighting for us.
-
We will be ushered in to promises.
-
Let me let me tell you, there's some stuff.
-
You've experienced Resistance long enough.
-
When you stand, you're not resist.
-
You're not in a Resistance season.
-
You're in a believing, a Faith season.
-
I'm telling you, we're about to walk into some spaces where the
-
enemy can't resist us if he tried.
-
The Lord is fighting for us in this season.
-
Untangle yourself from that fight.
-
Release it to the Lord and just stand.
-
Make the decision to stand sooner than later.
-
That's my posture. I'm not fighting with you.
-
I'm not arguing with you. I'm going to guard my heart and
-
I'm going to believe God. It could hurt you.
-
It could crush you, but don't let it move you off your post.
-
Their breakthrough will come because of your stand, not your
-
worry. Keep standing.
-
I just want to speak to your spirit right now.
-
Keep standing. Just lift your hands.
-
Son. Daughter, keep standing.
-
Be strengthened in this moment. The Lord has heard your cries.
-
He's heard your prayers. He's here now to fight for you.
-
He's here now that you let let me help you for some while.
-
There's been unseen progress. You're about to see progress.
-
You're about to see progress. There has been unseen progress.
-
The Lord's been already dealing with them, but just in their own
-
way. Pride.
-
They don't want to show you, they don't want to tell you.
-
But you're about to start seeing progress.
-
But I want to tell you your prayers.
-
Been been it. It's been being answered.
-
But their progress is for God to see, not you.
-
But He's about to share you with you, the progress he's been
-
seeing. He's about to let you in on
-
something that's been bringing joy to his heart.
-
Why? Because you fear him.
-
And when God shows you what He's about to show you, don't forget
-
them. Don't forget them.
-
He's near. He's near.
-
He's near. People are about to be
-
introduced to the gods. You've been talking about
-
the fear of the Lord. However he has to do, it is
-
about to be restored in the land.
-
You don't have to follow Jesus. But that old school reverence is
-
coming back. Thank you Jesus.
-
Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.
-
I don't. I don't.
-
I don't care. Lord disrupt they sleep keep
-
them up at night. Trouble they spirit you didn't
-
mess you didn't you didn't mess with the wrong one.
-
You didn't mess with the wrong one.
-
That's when you grow. That's when you know you grow up
-
You stop trying to fight. Y'all no no, man gone.
-
Gone do your thing. But I'm over here about I'm
-
sending that word disrupted all I I look back, my grandma, all
-
kind of stuff I was trying to do and I look back, I'm like, oh,
-
that's why that didn't work because Grandma late in the
-
midnight out sending that word you at the club.
-
She just sent in the word send that word watch.
-
And the Bible said that the centurion, his soldier, his
-
slave, Jesus sent the word in that very hour that that that
-
very hour he was healed. For some, it's going to be this
-
very hour, for some it's going to be this very month.
-
For some it's going to be this very year.
-
But you will have of this very Lord, we thank you.
-
You are worthy of it all. Lord, you are worthy of the
-
praise. We will not forget you.
-
It's done. It's done.
-
We lay our worry at the altar. Come on, we lay.
-
We lay our worry at the altar. We lay our anxiety at the altar.
-
We lay our striving at the altar.
-
And our declaration is we believe God.
-
Come on, just softly. It's just I believe God.
-
May the fear of the Lord through the work of the Holy Spirit
-
begin to permeate your soul. May there be a restored
-
reverence for the Lord. May there be a restored all in
-
your soul. May there be a a, a respect, a
-
tenderness towards the Lord, towards his work, towards his
-
people. We often think when the Bible
-
says restore the years of the cankerworm and the locusts said,
-
yeah there's some crops, but some of the crops that were
-
stolen was the worship you used to have.
-
The locusts stole your worship. I'm not talking about stole your
-
song. You still singing, but your
-
heart. May you give your heart back to
-
the Lord tonight. And may it burn like that
-
burning Bush. May it burn.
-
And this time around that fire will only grow.
-
It will not be put out. Thank you, Jesus.
-
Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
You believe it, You receive it. Give God him.
-
Oh man, I thank God for the bulldog Saints, the intercessors
-
that like that. Just that.
-
Just a lot like a pit bull. Just lock their teeth on your
-
circumstances. You know how many of us are here
-
Because somebody just got a hold of your purpose and took it in a
-
closet and would not let go to you till you got here.
-
I pray that there's a generation of Bulldogs, generation of
-
prayer warriors that actually go after it and lock in and not
-
just this passive Lord. Just whatever.
-
You will know that that child is mines.
-
That spouse is yours, right? That land is yours.
-
Your father being sober is yours.
-
Your parents marriage working is yours.
-
Lock in on that thing. Your land, your continent being
-
free, it's yours. Lock in on that thing.
-
Come on. Say I'm locked in.
-
In Jesus name. Amen.
-
Can we give our neighbors victory a round of applause?
-
Hallelujah. All right, this is how we're
-
going to close. Yeah.
-
I have that card we're going to give, man.

-
process and the the warfare and the back and forth and the
-
negotiating and the not negotiating and some of the
-
snares the enemy tried to throw in at the last minute.
-
And man I've learned so much about this process and I've
-
learned so much about hearing from the Lord as well but it's
-
on now. So this week we'll be having a
-
planning meeting with the construction workers and we'll
-
we'll start seeing some progress here in the next a couple of
-
weeks. They already started on the roof
-

-
permit to do the roof just needed some tools that's all
-
could at least did that for us, but but we're there a couple
-
things really quickly. How many people was at the round
-

-
witness though. And what you guys have to
-
understand is when I look over there at the sideline and see

you guys like cheering and coming together, it really does
-
something. And to the teams that we're
-
playing, you should see the other teams waiting after their
-
games and when they come and wait for their game, they're
-
watching. They cannot wait to play us
-
because after our games are over the the gym is dead and so they
-
want to play against this because they know the energy we
-
bring. So it's a witness and it's joy
-
and it's therapy and we bring the best out of every team

some time. So we play at 9:00 PM on Friday
-
and then we play at four and six or five and seven.
-
One of those and the reason why I picked those two times is
-
because we don't want to be waiting a long time for you guys
-
to stick around. So we have an hour wait in
-
between games and it's going to be in Abbotsford and we don't
-
show up. We want to witness in
-
Abbotsford. Maybe that's how the church
-
going to go to Abbotsford is go win, win, right.
-
We come in and so and then depending on if we how we win or
-
where we place, it's depending on how what time we play on
-
Sunday and Sunday is playoff time but if you lose you go
-
home. Now what I'm down to do is if we
-
get in the championship game, I'm down that we we going.
-
If it's during the service, church service time, I'm down to
-
just I'm almost down to just no evening service for that Sunday.
-
I'm probably going to do it anyway.
-
And if we lose, we just ain't got nowhere to go.
-
Just go, just go home. But I feel like it's as
-
important for us to get out there than it is for us to come
-
in here, right? We come in here a lot, but we
-
come in here to go out there and really impact the community.
-
So I'll have some information for you next Sunday.
-
And who knows, we may just take the whole we may just be doing
-
church there on Sunday. You get what I'm saying?
-
Check this video out real quick. None.
-
Two of those starts nice. But anyways, man, we out there
-
witnessing, you know what I mean?
-
And I'm not. I'm not.
-
Hey, man. All right.
-
So this Friday night, you see we we really do get down and so if
-
we had about 40 more people if we we take over the whole gym.
-
It's a small gym the gym and average for for the tournament
-
to be a big gym. So that's why we may need to
-
just that's where we going to be for the weekend.
-
All right. But this Friday, let's start
-
this Friday and come out and enjoy your team.
-
Like I promise you, you will be entertained.
-
You will have fun. All right.
-
The way we going to close tonight is tonight is our as you
-
heard Brett so powerfully communicate to you.
-
It's our remnant project. All I can say is we're a good
-
ground and all of your giving up to this point that building
-
permit wasn't like this little application we filled out.
-
It was $20. No, this was no business
-
license, OK? It took over $200,000 to get to
-
this point. So your generosity over the last
-
couple of years from helping us get into this space to the
-
engineering, the blueprints, the architectural drawings, the the,
-
the, the, the comments, like what happens?
-
You could draw up some plans, You got to submit them to the
-
city, and then the city could say we need five more feet on
-
this side of the building between the curb and the door on
-
the left. And guess what the architect has
-
to do? He has to go back and he has to
-
redraw it. And every time he redraws it,
-
listen. And every time I e-mail him and
-
he emailed me back to say he got to redraw it.
-
And then every e-mail we go back and forth, you see an
-
architect's invoice, you paying for emails, the text messages.
-
You can go on here like, hey, you free right now.
-
Absolutely. Go on here and tell me what you
-
got to say, Terrence. Every e-mail, every, every
-
transaction you pay for. God has been amazing to connect
-
us with people who have not been money hungry in that way.
-
So they're but they serious about their money.
-
But what I'm saying is, if it had not been for your continual
-
giving, we would not be able to continuously move forward at
-
every moment the city threw us a curveball because at the at the
-
end of the day it's sometimes just boils down the money.
-
And what that enemy would have liked is if we didn't have
-
enough money to go to the next step.
-
But your finances saw this building permit to the finish
-
line. Now we have another phase and
-
let us not be generous to get the building permit.
-
And then the little thing just sit over there.
-
We got to get the birds out, the rats out.
-
We we got to get people. People been sleeping over the
-
week. It's time to go.
-
It's time to go. We're taking our land.
-
I understand. And then again, I did it in the
-
morning. I would not have been able, I'm
-
telling you, two years of walking in the area, I've never
-
walked in my life. If I could tell you my testimony
-
to how God is trusting me and building me and my family, like
-
unbelievable. I'm reading emails that are so
-
overwhelming with language I don't understand and having to
-
humble myself and ask somebody, What does this mean?
-
Do you know how it feels to ask the city?
-
The city is sending you something thinking they talking
-
to a professional and then you e-mail them back.
-
What's that mean? Lol hit them with the lol hit
-
them with emojis. They're like who?
-
Is. This.
-
And I'm like, oh, wait a minute, I'm this professional right now.
-
I'm talking to the city. But the humility it takes and
-
the humor of God and the the love of God, that would say,
-
son, I know what you've come from, but that's not where I
-
made you to stay. I'm building you for something
-
great. No?
-
But this man right here, Elder John was such a pillar for me.
-
So thank you again, Sir. Thank you.
-
Thank you. Your children have you have a
-
wonderful dad. You have a wonderful dad.
-
And I know sometimes you can be familiar with the man that's
-
always by your side. For someone who did not have a
-
dad in his life, never take your dad for granted.
-
He's a wonderful, wonderful man. Sometime because you're so close
-
up on him, like you hear him pass.
-
You know what I'm saying? You hear him, you hear all you,
-
you, you, you. You've seen.
-
You've seen his anger, You've seen his goofiness.
-
You've seen is not so goofy. You've seen Mom and Dad argue.
-
You've seen, you've seen the sides of him that we don't see.
-
But some stuff is only for his family to see.
-
But the true test of your love is, will you not hold it against
-
him? All right.
-
And so just be grateful. You have a wonderful dad and you
-
have a wonderful mom. And so thank you guys so much.
-
There's times where he's had to get paperwork back to me.
-
And y'all was having lunch. And I'm like, praise God for
-
Elder Roseanne. So thank you for holding your
-
husband up and sharing with us. Absolutely.
-
Thank you. Thank you.
-
All right. So this is what we're going to
-
do. We're not going to do like this
-
morning, we're done. OK.
-
But before you go, you guys make sure you lock the the tents
-
until everybody give, OK All right.
-
Now just now, just playing, man. You don't rip cut through the
-
tents just lock the tents up. But anyway we're we're done just
-
as you come. But we we on upbeat music y'all
-
want to come up, you come up. All right, can you calm down?
-
Don't rush it. OK.
-
And then so you guys going to come up and give me our leaders,
-
PJ family, you guys give generously and we going to do
-
this thing. Hey, you guys see on what see
-
on? Can we also take a moment to
-
recognize and give a huge thanks to our pastor?
-
They have shown, they have prayed, they have remained.
-
They have shown they have continued the call.
-
They haven't stopped. So PTPJ, we love you and God, we
-
will show you and we won't cry. Keep going.
