What's going on everybody? You are now listening to the
-
Lovequest International Church Sermon Podcast.
-
It's a brand new season. Matter of fact, it's homecoming
-
season. Sons and daughters are coming
-
home. So you know what to do.
-
Get your Bible, get your water, get some coffee, get some tea
-
and get yourself ready to receive.
-
The time is now, and if you don't know the drill then you
-
better learn the motto Did you love things, man?
-
Why we keep praising him? Because he never fails.
-
When my friends have changed, when my family has changed, when
-
the economy changes, guess what? He stays the.
-
Same the reason I keep praising him, because he is the only one
-
I can truly depend on. I trust my wife.
-
I love my wife, but I can't depend on her to wake up
-
tomorrow to give me what I need. But who I can depend on is God
-
every time. So I'm not going to praise my
-
job more than I praise the one that gave me the job.
-
I'm not going to praise my wife more than the one that gave me
-
my wife. I'm not going to praise the
-
building. I'm not going to praise the
-
governor. I'm not going to praise nothing
-
but God all the time because He wakes me up.
-
He comes through when I've been sick.
-
He healed me when I was depressed.
-
He gave me joy. He always shows up and then
-
there's this other part where you like, but how you always
-
excited, That's a good question. Just because I'm always excited,
-
don't mean I always feel excited.
-
I've gotten over being feeling based.
-
You know how some of you are plant based, Some of you are
-
feeling based. I'm faith-based.
-
I walk by faith and not by sight.
-
I could have came in here with a bellyache.
-
But boy, I've exalted his healing power.
-
And guess what? I didn't forgot.
-
My stomach hurt. Amen.
-
I forgot I. Wasn't feeling good?
-
Amen. You can go in and be seated.
-
Thank you, worship team, for pouring your heart out.
-
You can be seated in the presence of the Almighty.
-
Hallelujah. Look at your neighbors, say.
-
Believe it or not, he always shows up.
-
All right, So let me step down here for a minute.
-
How you guys doing? Good.
-
You. Good.
-
My, my, my desire for every person in here is that you fall
-
in love with Jesus. My desire is that you actually
-
take him serious too. My desire is that he becomes
-
your number one, like He's your everything.
-
My desire is that you be consistently, consistently, in
-
faith, in love, in joy. There is a place you can get
-
where your walk with God is uninterrupted.
-
That doesn't mean you never get upset.
-
That doesn't mean you never make mistakes.
-
It just means upset. And mistakes don't steal your
-
joy, upset mistakes don't steal your hope.
-
Upset and mistake. Don't steal your faithfulness.
-
You get what I'm saying? In the same way I got to show up
-
for you every single week with there's people you got to show
-
up with every single week. That's looking for your joy, not
-
just your presence, because some people could do without some of
-
the presents you bring. You get what I'm saying and what
-
I'm trying to tell you is, is is we're in a brand new year and
-
the devil is a lie, that what you've been going through has to
-
live with you today. And what I hope for you is that
-
you not only fall in love for yourself with the Lord, but you
-
fall in love with the Lord so much that other people can feed
-
off your life. Get what I'm saying?
-
So when you let things get in the way of your walk with the
-
Lord, you let people. You let things get in the way of
-
people being impacted by the Lord through you.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
I'm going to just say this in your face.
-
I got way more joy than you got some of y'all like you probably
-
do. Pastor, you're not competitive.
-
What's wrong with you? Dang, like I need to see we
-
compete in the wrong ways though, right?
-
We'll compete like my my woman better than yours.
-
My house bigger than yours. My car.
-
Man, when you going to be like my love stronger than yours.
-
Like when we going to compete over stuff that lasts.
-
That's real manly right there. When you like bro, My love game
-
stronger than yours. Ask my wife.
-
Let's ask your wife. Yeah, just like that.
-
Confident that we running this race well, I dropped my mint.
-
And for sure I love the praise team.
-
But not your feet. Hallelujah, I'm not going to eat
-
that mint right there. Cry holy the return.
-
I'm sorry. I'm gonna just be hood right
-
now. Somebody somebody y'all might be
-
the. Return of the mech?
-
Oh yeah, the return of the man. Stop, Stop.
-
Stop. Stop.
-
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
-
It's OK. Stop, stop.
-
I just. I heard it and I just had to say
-
it. I heard it.
-
I had to say it. I heard it.
-
I had to say it. The return of the mech.
-
You don't play that song. Don't play that song.
-
You are pure. You are pure.
-
You are pure Hallelujah. Hey, I will tell you this.
-
I will promise you this. I will promise you this.
-
Can I promise you this, I promise you this.
-
That this, this experience is going to be very, very.
-
Good. It's going to be very powerful.
-
It is going to be very life changing for those that step
-
into the river, not observe the river step into it.
-
OK, I just need you to follow me as I follow the Lord and we
-
going to end up somewhere really exciting.
-
OK, The return to the fear of God.
-
OK, we understood over the last couple weeks that you could
-
possibly love God but not fear God.
-
Right. You think about love, right?
-
And you know I'm not going to keep hitting my wife.
-
Be like I love you. But but you gonna have to take
-
some of these punches, OK? Couple black eyes.
-
I love you. No, I'm not going to keep doing
-
the same thing. If I love you, I might have a
-
measure of love. But not agape.
-
See, what the world gives you is love, wrote no romantic song is
-
talking about agape because the song is based on conditions.
-
I've never heard a hard beat song like girl, if your leg
-
messed up, I'm here, right? I've never heard an R&B song
-
that listed the flaws of a person.
-
You get what I'm saying? It's all conditional and
-
marriage in the world is not based on agape.
-
And let me tell y'all some of y'all got married.
-
Not on agape. You got married on E roast and
-
now you mad at E roast fruit. Now your husband married you
-
because you was. You know what I'm saying?
-
You knew how to dance. You look good.
-
There was some. You know what I'm saying?
-
My wife knew how to dance. She dropped it on me.
-
The. 1st. Night Not, Not like that.
-
Like on the dance floor, On the dance floor.
-
Double fisted, PJ I remember. I remember.
-
I remember. I remember.
-
Now she holy, she said. Now she holy, though.
-
Don't get food. Don't get food and and so look,
-
look, look, we got to we got to stop laughing.
-
We got to stop laughing. We holy.
-
We can't. Laugh.
-
OK, So what? What was I talking about?
-
Not my wife. Heroes, right.
-
Heroes. And what we don't understand is
-
I'm, I'm, I'm going to end up writing this book.
-
But I'm like, when we talk about love we always think it's
-
romance related. So there's a lot of if I started
-
a A relationship series this would be a packed place because
-
everybody think that Love Is All about dating.
-
So we getting this culture hooked on dating and hooked on
-
relationship, understanding that you got to be a better single so
-
you can be the greatest partner. You don't find your other half,
-
you know, God, I'm a one of one. You see how confused the culture
-
is? I'm a one-on-one, but I can't
-
wait to find my other half. Which one are you?
-
Are you one or two? And so you get married, you
-
sleep around, and then you get the fruit of emotions.
-
Agape never changes. So when I get married based on
-
agape, I'm never thinking about divorce.
-
It's not even an option. And and and and communicating to
-
your spouse that you want to get a divorce, some of y'all in
-
here, you've thought about it. So don't think that God don't
-
want to deal with you because you ain't communicated it.
-
It's in your heart. And I will tell every married
-
couple in here you are the problem more than your spouse
-
is. Oh, it's quiet in here, This
-
guy. I don't even know how we got the
-
Holy Ghost has taken over me. I don't know how we got here.
-
But the point is, is the moment you you, you are so fixated on
-
somebody elses mistakes, you have lost sight of grace.
-
Who do you think your little stinking your prideful, arrogant
-
self? Thank you, or I feel this thing
-
because the Lord ain't telling me to shut up.
-
OK, Who do you think you are that you have the audacity to
-
spend all that energy, hold people's faults over their head,
-
and your stinking self still got issues?
-
Put your life under God's limbs and not yours, and you can see
-
how filthy and nasty you really are.
-
You might be able to hold your tongue, but the point is, is
-
your tongue nasty? You just holding it.
-
So all you're saying is I hold venom in my tongue.
-
I just ain't spewed it out. It's only a matter of time.
-
Get the plank out of your eye and put it on yourself.
-
Focus on yourself and focus on God and be who God wants you to
-
be. And until you become God, stop
-
judging. I don't know who that's for, but
-
you have. You have.
-
You are cutting days off of your life stressed out over somebody
-
else's change. My kids need they daddy hole.
-
Not they daddy Stressed out trying to change they Mama.
-
That's because you thought that you got the power to change
-
somebody and you don't. And that's why you're
-
frustrated. Because you can't do God part.
-
Hey, because he's an all time God.
-
Some of y'all don't even want to laugh.
-
That's your problem. That's your problem.
-
You thought you was going to come take notes for your spouse
-
today. Pull that paper back out.
-
Come on. The return to the fear of God.
-
And that's what this is all about.
-
When I fear God, it is me and His presence, not me, bringing
-
my spouse's issues. But to be holy, I have to be.
-
I have to be fixated on Jesus. I have to be.
-
The right prayer is Lord, captivates my spouse.
-
Captivate my children's heart for you not.
-
For me, you know what I'm saying?
-
Somebody made a great point last night.
-
A lot of times people are interceding for themselves. 1st
-
is interceding for them and when I'm interceding for them, I want
-
them to know God out of their change, not know that I'm happy.
-
I'm, I'm preaching so good right now.
-
I'm preaching really, really well right now.
-
Hallelujah. I'm an A man myself.
-
I'm an A man myself. This is going to be really good.
-
I'll tell you. I'll tell you.
-
I'll tell you, I'll tell you. So this is a call back to.
-
To Holy We've gotten way too far off.
-
JT we've gotten way too far off. We've gotten focused on how to
-
do Church well and not be church well.
-
We've made Holy out of like, collars, turtlenecks and turbans
-
and covering up all our skin and no secular music.
-
And we made Holy out of out of out of free range, right.
-
It's just like so it's something in us that's trying to be the
-
cleanest that's why we want to go to plant based.
-
We're trying to search for what's the cleanest way to eat
-
and what's the cleanest way to detox.
-
So steam rooms and and and what do you call it?
-
Saunas and spas are making billions of dollars because
-
everybody know we supposed to be clean.
-
But why? We keep on trying to figure out
-
how we could stay dirty and get clean.
-
Why do you? Why do we want to keep on
-
getting dirty? Why?
-
Are we still trying to find out what can we get away with?
-
And God's not mad at us? Let me help you out.
-
You can go outside right after this, smoke some, crack some
-
heroin and drink 1/5 of Hennessy.
-
And God's not going to be mad at you.
-
You're. Going to be mad at you.
-
God don't need to beat you up. You beat yourself up and half of
-
you might be where you are because you are so hard on
-
yourself and your expectations is beyond God's expectations for
-
yourself. And God simply just wants you,
-
not you made-up. He doesn't want the Hollywood
-
version of you. He does not want the IG version
-
of you. He does not want the the zoom
-
half of you. No, I think God won't waste
-
down. God won't What ain't on the
-
camera. Don't give me spirit and truth.
-
Come on, he's crying. Holy man.
-
He's calling us back. The holy and holy is fun.
-
Holy is a clear conscience. Holy is fruitful.
-
Holy is sustaining. Holy is generational wealth.
-
It is make man when you walk in holiness it is so good.
-
It is so strengthening. I don't got to go to bandwidth
-
wait on my mind. I just know that I've given my
-
day to God. And giving your day to God does
-
not mean don't go nowhere. It just mean everywhere you go,
-
you're mindful of Him. You set your meeting aside for
-
him and say, Lord, you have say in this boardroom.
-
If you want me to say something in this boardroom, I'll say it.
-
If you need me at this gas station to pray for somebody,
-
I'm here. It's just constant communion
-
I've set myself. It's simple.
-
I've set myself aside for him. I'm no longer my own tool, so
-
I'm gonna stop using me for profit.
-
Let me figure out what diploma they get so I can put myself in
-
the world and make myself marketable.
-
Let me tell you what's born marketable can.
-
I can I talk to anybody that that got really strong faith in
-
they self and in the Lord. You were born marketable.
-
My Malachi came out the womb. I wish out Mama shot.
-
I wish I was going. I'm going to show a picture.
-
Next time and that boy came out smiling.
-
He, just like he came out smiling.
-
I'm born marketable. I'm born affirmed.
-
I'm born approved. Nothing God put in this earth
-
was not already approved before you was formed in your mama's
-
womb. You was approved by talking to
-
anybody. This morning.
-
All I need to talk is five people.
-
I just need 5 witnesses this morning.
-
Anything after that, I'm happy. One last shaking from the top to
-
the bottom. It ain't in there, but I just
-
got to say it. From the bottom to the top, stem
-
to stern. The phrase one last shaking
-
means a thorough house cleaning, getting rid of all the
-
historical and religious junk. Every generation has this moment
-
of shaking. It's our turn.
-
And the shaking is because he loved you so much.
-
He like, can I get this junk food out of your life?
-
Can I get that anger out of your life?
-
Can I get that double mindedness out of your life?
-
Can I get that unfaithfulness out of your life?
-
Can I get that promiscuous, that promiscuity out of your life,
-
out of your life? Can I get it out of your life,
-
That lack of self-control, the lack of depression, the low
-
thing, the the the anxiety. Can I get the excuse making the
-
pointing, the finger, The daddy issues, the Mama issues, the
-
addiction. Cannot get it out of your life.
-
Thank God for a God who won't just shake me once.
-
He won't just shake me twice. He won't just shake me three
-
times. But he'll shake me, shake me,
-
shake me, shake me, Come on, shout out.
-
Shake me, Lord, Hallelujah. Come on, we're going to take
-
this clip off. Oh no, you say this.
-
This junk. So that the unshakable
-
essentials, the the UN shake. We got the nerd to be spending
-
hundreds of dollars on the essentials T-shirt.
-
We wear the fear of God, but we don't have the fear of God.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. If you go wear it, you got to
-
bear it. Come on.
-
Y'all got it. Y'all got it.
-
Y'all got to stop playing. I got 59 slides to go.
-
I got 59 slides to go. Come on.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
I'm really. I'm really.
-
I'm really trying to. You see, the devil get it
-
though. The devil get it before we get
-
it, and then we get it and put it on.
-
Didn't know we was born with it. The devil understands that the
-
fear of God is the greatest treasure of God's children.
-
The fear of God is where everything begins.
-
The fear of God is where wisdom begins, is where love begins, is
-
where everything good in God's Kingdom begins.
-
The fear of God. That's why he don't mind you
-
going to church. He don't mind you loving
-
religion. He don't mind you praying.
-
What he don't want, what he's afraid of, is you having the
-
fear of God, a healthy fear and reverence, and all of God.
-
He's always trying to interrupt your devotion to God, and if he
-
can get your devotion, he can get you wavering.
-
He can get you unstable. He can get you fearful of
-
government, focused on politics, focused on what your spouse
-
doing, what your kids doing. And before you know it, you
-
didn't forgot sight of God. Not knowing that the fear of God
-
is your anchor. The fear of God, not the fear of
-
being single, not the fear of being too old to have a baby.
-
All this stuff we afraid of except God.
-
The fear of God consumes. Every fear swallows up every
-
fear. We sit here afraid of going
-
without, afraid of looking for, afraid of not being accepted,
-
afraid of somebody not commenting the Instagram the
-
whole time. God's sitting there like man, I
-
bring, I've been pressed, like I've been enrolled in the
-
comments. I've been shared your page.
-
Am I talking to anybody? He's an on time God, after all
-
these years. All right, all right, all right,
-
all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
-
Come on. What did I say?

You got to step in the river. You got to step in the river.
-
You don't got time to think about it.
-

-
That's why we fasting and praying 35 days straight.
-

-
Yeah. Are we tired?
-
Yeah. Yes.
-
But are we full? Yeah.
-
Overflowing. Yeah.
-
Are we strong? Yeah, my whole year is set.
-
I got strength. The last 35 days have given me
-
365 days of strength. Bring it on, devil.
-
Yes Sir. I tried to told you at New
-
Year's Eve. That you got to strip it all
-
down and you got to step in the things of the Lord.
-
And I guarantee you over half of y'all in this room have been so
-
busy trying to keep up in the first couple months of the year.
-
And you got a word that the Lord said I got that.
-
Just fix your eyes on me. Unshakable essentials stand
-
clear and uncluttered. Just shake me one more time,
-
Lord, just shake me one more time, he said.
-
Do you see what we've got? An unshakable Kingdom.
-
And do you see how thankful we must be other part of?
-
No, just stick to the script. Not only thankful, but brimming.
-
Brimming with worship. You ever go to them restaurants
-
and they pour you, they they pour you, they they don't even
-
fill your cup up. I don't know about you, but I
-
like my cup field. Don't Don't have me pay $9 for a
-
drink. And you going.
-
You going to leave me room? I don't want no room.
-
No room. I want my knuckles wet.
-
Nothing. No room.
-
No room. No brimming.
-
Brimming with worship. Bubbling with worship.
-
It's on the air. It meant the moment I hear a
-
pad. I'm just, I'm telling you, when
-
I step in my office in the morning, I'm tired but my spirit
-
man just get hit by the sound of glory.
-
I'm just like woo woo. I come here Tide.
-
Tide went to bed last night at what time 1 something like that.
-
She was scratching my head. I fell asleep.
-
That's every that's all the time.
-
I like my head. I just pull up like a lot.
-
I know what dogs feel like. That's the only time you can
-
call me a dog is when I get my head rubbed.
-
Hallelujah. 1:00, an alarm go off 5.
-
And always every time I wake up at 5:00, I'm like, thank you,
-
Jesus, you're so good. No, I don't.
-
No, no, no. I'm like, oh, should I get A and
-
I'm trying to come to and I get up and I'm like, no, I got to
-
get this word. I got, I got to get this word.
-
I got to get this word. You come and you just step in.
-
It's not like you got to stop letting things pull you.
-
It's like, cut it like, yeah, I'm tired, but I'm going forward
-
tired. Not being in the in the in the
-
middle tire I can't waver. Tired I can.
-
I'm gonna just March forward and then the strength of the Lord is
-
going to kick in, right? And so for me, he says this,
-
this unshakable Kingdom. And do you see, we must be
-
thankful. We we must be thankful more than
-
complaining, the son and daughter of God who has a true
-
revelation. Of his goodness.
-
We don't complain. And here it is.
-
Some of us can't fathom a life without complaining.
-
You're like, what? What?
-
What do I do If I don't like something, what do I do?
-
Well, it depends on what it is. If if somebody bring you to the
-
restaurant a burnt steak, right, that that's not right.
-
No, I'm not complaining. I'm requesting an adjustment.
-
I'm requesting an adjustment. I asked for medium rare and you
-
gave me burnt. That is that is like 4 stages
-
away from what I asked. Please adjust this.
-
Thank you so much man. You're doing a great job besides
-
and you can tell the way the what some of y'all be mad at the
-
waiter like they cook the steak before I before I complain, I
-
mean I'm making adjustment. I let them know.
-
I know you didn't cook this ma'am.
-
I'm pretty sure you cook amazing steaks, but your friend?
-
Can you guys adjust this? Deeply Reverent before God.
-
Deeply reverent before God. Deeply reverend before God.
-
Deeply reverend, deeply acknowledging, deeply grateful,
-
deeply in awe. You're amazing, God.
-
No, no, no, no. Part of it is not about him
-
revealing himself. There's a part of it that you
-
have to make him big. Oh man, I can't wait.
-
We got a touch screen and I got to get it because you never look
-
at your phone and if you want to see the details of something,
-
see, Revelation is details that you can't see.
-
Can I? Can I?
-
Can I talk to you? Revelation is details you cannot
-
see. So when you see something right,
-
let's talk to the shoe people. You see a pair of shoes online?
-
Don't tell me you ain't zoomed in to see them stitches on the
-
rubber To see the what details. So you mean to tell me you
-
didn't get revelation until you what?
-
Magnified can I can I talk to somebody?
-
That's why he say, oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us
-
what exalt his name together? It is when I praise him that he
-
begins to open himself up and show me the details.
-
Come on, shout out. I need details.
-
I need details. I like details.
-
Some of y'all like these tails, but I like details.
-
I'm I'm in. I'm in your bag today.
-
I'm in your bag, you little nasty bag.
-
Today I'm in your bag. Today, it's going to be a good
-
day. Today was a good day for God.
-
It's not an indifferent bystander.
-
He's actively cleaning house, active.
-
He's active, torching all that needs to burn.
-
And he won't quit until it's all cleansed, until he gets you to
-
who he created you to be. How you going to be mad at God?
-
You don't. While I'm waiting.
-
While I'm waiting, While I'm waiting.
-
You're only getting stronger because he is burning stuff up.
-
That's why I don't got time to just focus on other people's
-
faults because I got too much that needs to be burned myself.
-
And then when God presents me to the person I would like to
-
change, then they have an example.
-
Maybe stop asking your spouse, family for the fruit and you
-
show them the process. See, see that's why I'm on this
-
Instagram. It's a whole lot of people like
-
don't show nobody what you do. Just one day you going to show
-
up and you just going to be they going to be like wow and how
-
stupid is that. So I'm like, some people like,
-
why you? Why you, why you posting
-
everything? First of all, I don't post
-
everything, trust me. But how much better is it that a
-
person sees that I slept in? I got the goal of five AMI let
-
you in on that. But then I slept in till 7:30.
-
But then I'm going to the gym and I'm like, look, I had to
-
sleep in cuz I started to get a headache you can't see and that
-
was me depriving myself asleep. Cuz we've been meeting every
-
single night. So there's late nights,
-
everybody that oh, the 4:00 AM club, the five eight.
-
They go to sleep, date at 8:00 PM club too.
-
So, so, so, so, so I got to give myself a break with some of
-
y'all because what happens is if I can't do it at 5, I ain't
-
going to do it until 5:00 the next day.
-
First is understanding that I do have some things to do and rest
-
is a requirement for nourishment, for strength, for
-
clarity and detox in my mind. So I understand.
-
I've had some late nights, so I give myself some grace and I'm
-
going to let you in on it. Hey, it's a process.
-
Slept in. But I'm back in the gym and
-
normally I got to get 45 to an hour in a cardio, but it was a
-
couple days. I didn't have time for 45.
-
Do I not do it? No.
-
Do 20, but do 20 hard 20 count. What you didn't do count as
-
well, right? So 20 got me going down and yo,
-
nothing got you going up. 20 got me going down and nothing got me
-
going up. Now I'm just like, come on.
-
I don't got no time. I don't got no time.
-
I don't got no time. Some of y'all like man PTO one.
-
This morning it's the Holy Ghost stop.
-
And he won't quit until it's all cleansed.
-
Look, God himself is fire. Fuck you See why I'm You'd be
-
like BT don't want no God is in me.
-
And He is what? Fire.
-
Man, I go. God is love.
-
You ready? God is love.
-
God is love. God, God is love.
-
This is very important. God is love and God is fire.
-
So when you understand that you embrace his love, you embrace
-
his fire, and you step in the Hebrews where he says he's
-
always burning, the burn is not so.
-
I could just do ministry. The fire in me is so I can be
-
ministered to not always have a word for you.
-
But the fire burns me in such a way that I can hear from the
-
Holy Spirit or someone else and get a word that's going to
-
challenge something that God is trying to get me to put on the
-
altar. Praise you ready?
-
You ready. Praise is for me.
-
Now before that y'all going to give me logo.
-
That's blasphemy. Praise is for the Lord, Worship
-
is for him. Let me explain.
-
This is very important for where we gonna go later.
-
OK, so you know how a movie introduced something and don't
-
get back to it till later. I'm kind of showing you the end
-
of the movie right now. OK?
-
Praise is for me. So, so, so it's very important
-
that you understand why we do what we do here and why God has
-
put this conviction and burden on me to come into this country.
-
And just be be that because there is no reverence without a
-
life of praise. You can praise God but not
-
worship Him. Praise is for me, worship is for
-
Him. Let me explain just briefly.
-
Although praise is for me, it is not about me.
-
That's the difference. Follow me.
-
Psalm 100 say I'm going to keep it 104 Enter with the password.
-
Who needs the password? Who needs the password?
-
God ain't locked out. I need the password.
-
But what is the password? Praise the password.
-
Praise is for me, he said. Make yourself at home.
-
Talk and praise. Thank him, worship him.
-
TPT says you can pass through his open gates with password of
-
praise again. Who the password for?
-
So I saw him and say praise is what I do,
-
I vow, I vow. To praise you.
-
Hallelujah. All right, stop.
-
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Praise break.
-
OK, so he says come right into his presence with Thanksgiving.
-
Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bring
-
my praise. Is my offering, My praise is my
-
offering. And bless his beautiful name.
-
Praise comes from reverence. Worship comes from dependency.
-
Do you depend on God? My praise should lead to
-
reverence. I don't have to know Him to
-
praise him, because he said my praise is simply my thank you.
-
You ever been blessed by somebody you didn't know, but
-
you said thank you. But to worship somebody, you got
-
to know them. You got to depend on them,
-
right? You can praise a car.
-
I mean, that's fly. He didn't say don't praise
-
something else. He actually said give credit to
-
where credit is due, give honor. So I can say that's dope why I
-
want them. I love that.
-
But the moment I begin to worship it, it's idolatry.
-
And now I Revere it, not him. So what I have to understand is
-
that my praise, it's for me, it's a gift to me.
-
Here's the part we missed. Here's the part we missed, he
-
says. Come.
-
Where? Where?
-
Where did it go? Where did it go?
-
Where did it go? Through his open gates, do you
-
notice you have a praise offering?
-
He left the door open. So I'm telling you.
-
So when we we we when it comes to revelation you like what they
-
jumping for. Why they do that and why this
-
person is so far along to me we was have you walk through the
-
door? Because everything you need it's
-
not on the outer courts. It's at its feet.
-
But how do we get there Praise. We give him our.
-
What our? Praise.
-
We give him our great What has softened my heart more than
-
anything to be able to have authentic worship is my praise
-
life, not my worship life. My willingness to give him a
-
dance so freely, my willingness to say thank you, Hallelujah, my
-
willingness for everything that has breath.
-
Not just everything that breathes.
-
Everything that carries his breath, give it back.
-
And my willingness to give him back his life.
-
He then gives me his. And we have this exchange for
-
eternity. So when I'm at his feet, there's
-
no condemnation. It's nothing but freedom.
-
And he begins to reveal himself, reveal the details in his heart.
-
It's the Abraham. Go, I'll show you.
-
What did Abraham have to do? He had to go, or he had to
-
praise. He had to take a step forward.
-
He had to enter into the gates of the word.
-
And as he went out of obedience and reverence, what happened?
-
God. Began to reveal the details you
-
like. God, how much this going to
-
cost? Those are details.
-
You going to send me help? That's details.
-
What it's going to look like if I go and leave all this.
-
That's details. You want the details?
-
Start praising them right where your feet are.
-
Praise carries you to details. Oh, where we going?
-
I got to. My praise ignites.
-
What does it have to do with the fire?
-
My praise ignites a fire within that exposes and consumes.
-
You see it like, I guarantee if you turn on Super Bowl pregame
-
right now and they're showing players in locker rooms and fit
-
in on the field, you're going to see players stirring themselves
-
up. There's people that are nervous
-
and scared to play in the Super Bowl, but the way they handle
-
their jitters is they praise. They don't know if they going to
-
get a concussion. They don't know if they going to
-
be the next person that died on the field.
-
They got all, they got grown millions when they are planning
-
to have car accidents. But I'm not going to go into it
-
without whoa, let's go boy. He's stirring himself up and
-
probably 99% of them are injured.
-
Do you see what praise gets you over so that you can see the
-
other side? See, see, Not everybody is
-
playing in this game today. Everybody that played the game
-
is at home watching. Now some of y'all don't mind
-
being at home today instead of being on the floor but This is
-
why the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs got 4 Super
-
Bowls. He didn't been to and in in the
-
last what five years injured. Had a bad season Kelsey lowest
-
reception yards in this year but where they at?
-
They kept going, you know, the extra money that's waiting for
-
you in the Super Bowl. You know the deals that come
-
after the Super Bowl. You know if you go to another
-
team what you can command because you got Super Bowl on
-
your resume and you didn't even play but you hung around champs.
-
You won a Super Bowl party. You talking about Tostitos and
-
and and queso and and they they over there fasting and trimming
-
themselves down and purging and go and cutting off social media
-
so they can be in the game the whole world watching.
-
How are they getting through this You think they all happy.
-
You think they wives all happy. You think everything is perfect.
-
You think they not injured. You don't think people
-
hamstrings and like no, no, no, I'm not missing this.
-
How they getting through it. They taking that shot, that
-
praise, that epidural, they stretch and they getting
-
treatment so they can do give themselves the best shot.
-
At playing in the game. See, you know what Praise Dues
-
does? It gets you the best shot to
-
survive what's coming at you. Everybody in here will get hit
-
one day. But the ones that praise God,
-
you going to be oh, and then you going to get back up.
-
Oh, you going to get back. Oh, you going oh, you going to
-
get. You will not knock me down
-
because praise is what I do now. When I'm in trouble.
-
Praise is who I am. I'm going to give it to him all
-
day. Secret recipe to a championship
-
life is the fear of God. I'm about to skip heck of stuff,
-
cuz for those that don't know what heck of stuff is, it's a
-
lot of stuff. Because I really want to get to
-
this one part. We we we see in Isaiah 11.
-
We went through that where he talks about that that that that
-
Jesus's delight in his body, his delight.
-
Jesus's delight is in the reverential and obedient fear of
-
the Lord, The reverential and obedient fear of the Lord.
-
The fear of God always keeps me available to obey God.
-
Some of us can't obey because we too tied down and it'll cost you
-
too much. But that's your fault, not
-
God's. You put a good thing in front of
-
a God thing, and now God got to contend for the spot.
-
He wanted to preserve for himself.
-
The love, the power, and the character.
-
And salvation of Jesus begins with the fog, the fear of God.
-
Sorry, sorry. Teach me your way.
-
Oh Lord, I will walk and live in your truth.
-
Direct my heart to fear what? You see how a man after God's
-
own heart is talking to God, he said.
-
Direct my heart to fear. He didn't say direct me.
-
To a, to a, to a. You know, I'm saying a baddie
-
direct me to my dreams. He understood that his dreams
-
and all his successes was connected to the fear of God.
-
I could take down giants because I fear God.
-
Look at look at what David did before he faced while Goliath
-
was right there taunting them. He said you you're not messing
-
with me. He saw himself in God.
-
So he said when you mess with me, you messing with the creator
-
of the heavens and the earth. He feared God so he didn't have
-
to doubt when he was facing something bigger than him,
-
because he feared the one that was bigger than everybody.
-
Hallelujah. I direct my heart to fear Your
-
name with all inspired, all inspired, all inspired reverence
-
and submissive wonder. Continue to work, Philippians 2
-
says to us. Continue to work out your
-
salvation. Continue to work out your
-
salvation. Continue to work out your
-
salvation that is cultivated. Bring it to full effect.
-
Actively pursue spiritual maturity with all inspired fear
-
and trembling. The way I grow in my salvation
-
and as being a believer is, I am in all inspired fear and
-
trembling using serious caution. Not just living loose and
-
living, however. Not not considering my decisions
-
and trembling using serious caution and critical self
-
evaluation. Not them evaluation to avoid
-
anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ.
-
Work out your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling
-
self distrust. He didn't mean don't trust
-
yourself, but he meant don't trust yourself.
-
Stop thinking. No, no, no, no.
-
The Bible says our hearts are the most deceitful of all who
-
knows the heart. Only God, stop thinking, oh, I
-
can get in love. We really love each other.
-
Yeah, You feel it. I'd have been there.
-
Done that. Yeah.
-
You you. You can't make.
-
You can't make destiny decisions on feelings.
-
Truth of the matter is, will you still have the same commitment
-
when the feelings are gone? No.
-
We didn't had chances to walk away, go back home where it was
-
comfortable and convenient but without a shadow of a doubt.
-
I'm where I know I'm supposed to be.
-
Nobody can shake. Nobody can move me.
-
Nobody can make me doubt. Nobody.
-
Nobody. I'm not looking around like God
-
you. Really got us in a.
-
Garage. Man, I love this garage.
-
I'm going to miss this garage. He said timidly, timidly,
-
shrinking from whatever might offend God.
-
Right, And we move on. Fear of God, just real quick.
-
Fear of God versus being afraid of God, right?
-
He said he got we're talking about the fear of God.
-
But then he says don't be afraid, right?
-
He said don't be afraid, right? But the fear of God will draw
-
you near to God. Being afraid of God will always
-
draw you away from God, the Spirit of fear.
-
Draws you away. It causes you and I to rebell
-
from God. The fear of God leads to
-
intimacy. The fear of God carries the
-
fruits of repentance. The spirit of fear is terror,
-
timidity, cowardice. It's always thinking of
-
punishment. God's mad at me.
-
It's got condemnation in it. But the fear of God has glory in
-
it. The spirit of fear will always
-
cause me to shrink back and feel threatened.
-
Fear of God. The fear of God is the birth of
-
all things good. It's what we see.
-
Genesis 3, where God goes and look for Adam.
-
He say where you at. He said I heard you in the
-
garden and he says I was afraid versus Jesus.
-
He in the garden, getting persecuted, sweating blood, and
-
he says, not my will, yours. He's about to get murdered, and
-
he draws to God. He.
-
Said no, no, no, no. I'm not playing with your will.
-
I am not trying to change your plans for my life.
-
So before I do it, I better draw close to you.
-
That's what he means. Don't trust yourself.
-
No, no, no, no. You better trust God more than
-
you trust yourself. I will give thanks and praise, O
-
Lord my God with all my heart, and and and will glorify your
-
name forevermore. For great is your loving
-
kindness and graciousness toward me.
-
Great is thy faithfulness right? Morning.
-
And you have rescued my life. You have rescued my life.
-
You've rescued my life. Well, I thank him every day,
-
'cause I'm not where I used to be.
-
Every day he has rescued me. You not worse.
-
Still in that revelation. I might be mad at you for a
-
second, but wait a minute. I'm saved from you from the
-
depths of Sheol, from death. His rescue of you should compel
-
reverence from you. Saying 26 says at that time this
-
song will be sung in the country of Judah, Country of praise.
-
We have a strong city, Salvation city.
-
Built and fortified with salvation.
-
Throw wide, swing wide the gates so good and true people can
-
enter. People with their minds set on
-
you, people with their minds set on you.
-
To Revere God is to have my mind set on him, he said.
-
Those whose minds are set on you, you are committed to keep
-
them completely whole. My wholeness in night is not in
-
works. My wholeness is dependency on
-
the worker, those whose minds they set on him.
-
You make them whole. Not not PJPJ.
-
No, my mind's set on her girl, but I don't depend on her to
-
make me whole. My mind is set.
-
On Serving Love Quest. But Love quest don't got
-
wholeness for me. When my mind is set on him, he's
-
committed to bringing wholeness into my life.
-
He's the only one that can do that.
-
Plant based can't do it The gym six days a week can't do it.
-
YouTube videos on self help can't do it.
-
You got to submit plant based to the Lord, you got to submit the
-
gym to the Lord, and you got to submit you two to the Lord, and
-
then you got to let him discern what diet you on.
-
Depend on God. Keep at it, because in the Lord
-
God you have a sure thing, oh God, a life focused and fixed
-
and nurtured. This is reference, this is fear.
-
Got a life focused and fixed and I can add set aside and nurtured
-
by God. We see in John 4 where they go
-
they get some food in the city and I can see the disciples
-
already they was they was like hey girl I can see the disciple
-
just in a demeanor and they attitude.
-
They was in the city doing doing stuff.
-
And then it was like somebody was like, we got to get back to
-
Jesus. He ain't got nothing yet.
-
You know what's crazy? They showed up from getting
-
something to eat. I just got this, this, this
-
revelation. They showed up from getting
-
something to eat and asked him where your food at, Deborah?
-
How they didn't have hospitality.
-
You just went to the city. I'm out here witnessing the
-
people and you like Jesus. You what you got?
-
What you got to eat? What you mean you ain't ate?
-
What you mean you ain't got no name?
-
Jesus, you better turn that you you want me to bring you a lunch
-
pail or something? You want me to bring you
-
something you can turn anything into And, he said.
-
They was puzzled, right? This fish and chips fire looks
-
what Jesus said. The food that keeps me going is
-
that I do the will of the fuck. That's what keeps me going.
-
That's what keeps me from having to complain to you about how
-
tough life is because I'm nourished, I'm nourished, my my
-
food, my nourishment. Right.
-
This is how the fast look some folks will mean we're going,
-
we're going to. Eat this chicken.
-
Chicken is still a part of the fast, just not this week.
-
No, no, no. You're you're on it, but.
-
What I'm saying is what people are saying is like I'm going to
-
eat chicken 40 days. I'm.
-
I'm eating chicken. I can't do this week.
-
This week did The Veggie Tales. This can't do The Veggie Tales
-
or the one who sent me look finishing the work.
-
Which means I am committed to obedience, and out of my life of
-
obedience, and the surrendered of my surrender of my heart I.
-
And fulfilled. Do you know what?
-
How much that takes care of. So if I have a bad day, but I've
-
done the will of God, I count it all joy.
-
If somebody walk out of my life and I'm doing the will of God, I
-
count it all joy. If my body experience sickness,
-
I might be sad. If I lose a loved one, I might
-
be, but I think I can. Still I have a right to joy.
-
Because I know this. I know that I've done what God
-
has asked me to do. So I'd much rather have trouble
-
in his will than trouble out his will.
-
Write it down. I'd rather have trouble in the
-
wheel than out the wheel. Some of y'all in the spirit
-
realm. Wheels just wobbling just all
-
out of line and just and you just like we just gonna hold the
-
wheel. You your arms and you they over
-
here. JT trying to go straight.
-
Holding the wheel this way. Let it go earlier.
-
Nah. Come back, come back, come back.
-
Biceps hurting? Come.
-
On when you going to get your when you going to get your
-
alignment who who, who ready to get the alignment today.
-
Right. Right.
-
Like like come on you like you ever see you ever drive behind
-
somebody with their wheels going like this man, I'm like slow
-
down, slow down. We going slow.
-
Let them go ahead of us. Let them go ahead of us.
-
Because you for show about the crash somewhere.
-
The fear of God is the firm foundation of a Kingdom diet,
-
right? There's some things in your diet
-
you just got to have. You get what I'm saying.
-
You got to have them greens up in there.
-
You got to have them greens. You got to have them greens,
-
right. You got to have them greens,
-
Some greens you don't need. You got to have them greens.
-
All the weed smokers just keep looking straight.
-
It's OK. OK.
-
You can't. Can't.
-
You've been having back problems.
-
Come out this week. OK, We can get you off weed this
-
week. We can get you off weed this
-
week. Some of y'all are like, Nah, you
-
see what I'm saying? I want my back healed, but I
-
want now I want the weed too. We can we can we can deal with
-
the taste buds too. The Lord Gon heal it this week.
-
You know what I'm saying? Some of y'all rather keep a
-
backache to keep the to keep the membership, You know what I
-
mean? I'm just mad.
-
I'm just mad. I lost my dad for some years
-
because he was put in prison for just not selling weed and all of
-
a sudden they delivering weed now.
-
Y'all blessed. I mean, I don't know what, I
-
don't know what to call it, but y'all lucky blessed or
-
something. But hot men, they need to let
-
everybody out of prison. Who in prison for marijuana?
-
But what I'm. I'm preaching right now, man.
-
I'm from a place families have been broken up because somebody
-
got caught with a ace of marijuana, and that was a third
-
strike. You going to let all these
-
crooks keep on making these decisions?
-
All right. I got to make some headway.
-
I got to make some headway. OK, come on.
-
So he said we're going to shake it up.
-
He said we're going to shake it up, shake it up, shake it up.
-
OK, Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up, shake it up, shake
-
it up. No, no, no, no, no.
-
I'm not ready. I'm not ready.
-
Stop. Thank you.
-
That's my fault. That's my fault.
-
That's my fault. That's my fault.
-
That's just like the devil. He'll get you to do something.
-
Be like, my bad, my bad. OK, all right.
-
The Psalm of Psalm 8. OK, he say.
-
Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of of of fire forevermore
-
this living right. We saw my love and fire.
-
We back there, right? We at the end of the movie.
-
Now. Consuming Flame will seal you as
-
my prisoner of love. Consuming Flame will seal you as
-
my prisoner of love. My passion is stronger than than
-
the chains of death and the grave I'm taking this scripture
-
into this week. My passion is stronger than the
-
chains of death. They're going to be so much
-
passion in this room Monday through Friday that chains are
-
going to have to fall off in Jesus name and the grave, right?
-
All consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning
-
heart of God. You see how it's love and fire
-
is safe when you when you agape. That's why when we fall in love,
-
it's just like fire. Shut up in my phone.
-
You can't do nothing you just like.
-
I can't stop thinking about you right place, This fierce,
-
unrelenting fire over your entire being.
-
He's jealous of me. He is jealous of me.
-
Don't do it. Don't do it.
-
Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this.
-
Flame. I'm not talking to somebody.
-
Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this
-
flame. Endless floods will be unable to
-
quench this raging fire that burns within you.
-
Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you
-
yield everything to this furious fire until it won't even seem to
-
you like a sacrifice anymore. Can God ever get to a place
-
where sacrificing is a rhythm? It's not a burden.
-
It's not something that you like.
-
Again, God, It's like I'm always laying my life down.
-
It's a part of the rhythm of the Kingdom, right?
-
When somebody lay something down, somebody is able to pick
-
something up. Jesus laid his life down so we
-
can get back up again. Can't stop, won't stop.
-
I tried, right. I tried this fire to be on fire
-
for God. We must carry the fear of God.
-
We must find the flames of God in the fear of God.
-
So here it is for you. People like why they so on fire
-
for God? Because we fear God.
-
You find the fear of God or you find the fear of God In the
-
flames of God, in the flames of God, in the fear of God.
-
It is no way to be on fire for something that you not afraid of
-
or that you don't have reference for.
-
I don't know, no great NBA player that don't love
-
basketball. You got to love it to the point
-
where you know the history and any great always has reverence
-
for the ones that went before him.
-
Let me tell you, God has went before us.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
OK. And he says, woe is me.
-
I'm undone and ruined. Say I'm undone.
-
Jeremiah, 26 Now I'm a rush. Now I'm a rush.
-
Don't. No music.
-
No music. Because I only got much time.
-
And you're going to get me stirred up.
-
And there's about to become a time where we going to stir it
-
up. OK, Not now, Caleb.
-
Thank you. You push me into this.
-
You you pushed me into this, God.
-
You pushed me into this love question.
-
You got me all the way out here to Canada and then told me it's
-
going to be one thing and God, it bend up being another thing
-
and I'll let you do it. You was too much for me.
-
God, I couldn't hang on. I couldn't do it.
-
So I surrender. And now I'm public joke.
-
They they all poke fun at me every time I open my mouth.
-
I'm shouting murder, rape. He's calling out justice or
-
injustice. He's calling it out.
-
He's coming into a town and he's saying this ain't the way it's
-
supposed to be. And then he get people like some
-
of Y'all looking at it. He like, Lord, I'm.
-
I'm. I'm out here.
-
I'm in a foreign land with a fire in my bones.
-
You got me out here looking stupid.
-
These people looking at me. You American.
-
You. Wait, what you doing all that
-
for? It don't take all that, but why
-
y'all? Why y'all extending service?
-
Why you so loud turn it down? Why y'all?
-
Why y'all matching each other? What are all the colors for?
-
What are y'all doing orange chairs where you guys are so
-
much? I don't know why I keep coming
-
back, but you guys are so much. And all I get for my God
-
warnings are insults and contempt.
-
And I just wrote this little thing.
-
All bets on God. All bets on Jehovah.
-
All bets on the one that made me the one that saved me.
-
The one that snatched. Me out of the grave.
-
All bets on God, but if I say forget it.
-
If I say forget it, no more God messages for me, but I ain't
-
about. To come up here talking about
-
praising God no more. Not about to come up here and
-
give these people all my passion every week.
-
Not about that, man. I could be at home.
-
I go to my son's game this week. He got 3 basketball games this
-
week, playoff games, Revival week.
-
I don't got to waste my time. I'm out here.
-
I'm out here praising. Give them glory well, lift your
-
hands, he says. The words are fire in my belly,
-
and they're burning in my bones. I'm worn out, though, trying to
-
hold it in. I'm more worn out trying to hold
-
it in. They're worn out by your face is
-
not taking it in. I ain't talking about nobody
-
here, he said. I can't do it no longer.
-
Then I hear whispering them behind my back.
-
There goes old danger everywhere.
-
Shut him up. Report him.
-
I can't quit. No, I can't stop.
-
No, I'd have made it this far. I'm getting closer to the top,
-

One misstep. There's people betting on you
-

We'll get rid of him for good. But God, a most fierce warrior,
-

-

-
You got it. No.
-
You know, you know what I'm saying?
-
Just so you got it in your head. All right, cool.
-
Sit down. Now let me read this.
-
OK, now you got the bead in your head.
-
All right, now you can finish. And God prospered.
-
Here we go. We about to praise God.
-
OK? And God prospered obed Edom.
-
And his entire household Obed Edom was carrying the ark in his
-
house. He had it in his house.
-
Because the Ark had been mishandled.
-
And somebody tried to create a new ark.
-
They tried to carry it a different way.
-
Other than what how God said it should be carried.
-
Let me tell you, it ain't no new, new, new way.
-
Ain't no new age, Ain't no new way.
-
Hear what I'm saying? We we, we.
-
It's the same foundation. You can't change how God laid
-
the foundation. Hear what I'm saying and and we.
-
What we got to do is look at David as the example of how
-
praise and worship should really look.
-
And what we've done is we've we've minored in the praise and
-
and and and and because praise is uncomfortable.
-
You go to the club. Everybody ain't dancing because
-
dancing is awkward for some people and clapping and some
-
people like the introverts we like to worship.
-
Is easy because you can sit there and just.
-
Think, oh his presence. And then so soon as some of
-
y'all hear pray, soon you get paralyzed like, whoa, maybe we
-
can turn it up that that color a little too close to mines.
-
OK, we need to turn that up. OK, now, now let me, let me help
-
some of y'all who talk about yourselves because you don't
-
like yourself. That is not.
-
I love my melanin. OK.
-
Can't wait till the summer come back so I can get JT chocolate.
-
I'm trying to get that Emmanuel tent up in here.
-
Amen. Hallelujah.
-
All right, Cacao. Cacao.
-
Hey, man. All right, let me read this and
-
stop goofing around, OK? And God prospered everybody to
-
eat them Habadoodles. OK, come on.
-
God going work it out. It was reported to King David.
-
So David out of he dropped the the ark off and he said let's go
-
keep it here until I get revelation of what God wants to
-
do next with it. So he gets word that the
-
presence of God in Obedidum's house is blessing.
-
Like like the blessing is on his house because the presence of
-
God that's in his house, there's there's nonstop worship.
-
Now this is crazy that we are the people that don't have to go
-
nowhere to experience his presence.
-
But here David had to go to Obed Edom's house in order to get in
-
God's presence, he says. It was reported Obed Edom's
-
entire household. See, wherever the presence of
-
God is blessing entire household because of the presence of God
-
or the chest of God. So David thought, I will, I will
-
get that blessing for myself. It's OK to get in when we praise
-
him. Praise is really in this moment
-
about you and God. So it's OK to be selfish in in
-
in about 10 minutes, about 5-7 minutes, you have a moment to be
-
selfish, he said. I'm going to get that blessing
-
for myself and and went and brought up the Chess of God from
-
the House of Obed Edom to the City of David, celebrating
-
extravagantly all the way. Celebrating how?
-
How? You ever been to anything
-
extravagant? What does it look like?
-
Extravagant. But, he said his praise.
-
Elder John was extravagant all. The way, Not one Sunday, Not
-
when I got paid, not when I got that new job.
-
All the way through the thick and the thin, through the storm
-
and the rain, through the good and the bad, through depression,
-
through joy all the way, my praise remain the same.
-
With frequent sacrifices of choice, bulls.
-
So my praise was extravagant and my offering was frequent.
-
David ceremonially. Dressed Oh, I forgot it I.
-
Was going to bring my. Colorful lol lol.
-
This is when I was going to put it on.
-
And I got, I got Russian. Amen.
-
Oh, well, now I'm Canadian. All right, come on.
-
Ceremony. Dressed in priestess linen dance
-
with great Abandoned before God. So, so, so some of y'all you
-
guys be looking and I'm not. I get it.
-
I get it. I get it in your mind you you
-
can't see yourself being free like that.
-
I'm kidding for all kinds of reasons, but man, some of y'all
-
have parties so hard. Like stop coming up in God's
-
house acting like you ain't never some of y'all You for sure
-
have moved. More than you move in here.
-
All right, we're going. How many people here really like
-
I'm going to take some how many people when you party?
-
You you go. In Raise your Hand I'm one of
-
them people, OK? Come.
-
On Keep them high. Keep hot.
-
Like when you dance you like, really.
-
Or if you. For you, if you had a ball game
-
or something, like, whatever it is, OK, All right, now put your
-
hands down. I'll put it this way.
-
If you went to the club, would you be the person on the dance
-
floor? Or would you be the person at
-
the dance floor but on the outer courts?
-
I'm saying but you. But you at least give them this
-
one though holding up the wall. Just you're doing your own
-
little thing. By yourself.
-
By yourself. Hey girl, you know you got hot
-
by yourself though, so you just kind of by yourself, right?
-
And your friends are like, come on girl, you're like, Nah, I'm
-
good. I got it all over you.
-
Or are you the person that your friends is like?
-
We shouldn't have never brought you out, should have left you at
-
home like everybody got a call in a night because you tired.
-
He danced with great abandoned The whole country was with him
-
as he. Accompanied the presence of God,
-
What the presence of God will attract.
-
With shouts and trumpet blasts. And that's what I'm saying.
-
The Bible was crunk. You get what I'm saying.
-
Drill as it came from the bottom, I'm telling you.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Caleb but as the presence of God came into the city of David, or
-
into the city of of of Wally, or into the City of Love Quest.
-
Michelle, or however you want to say it, Mikel Saul's daughter
-
happened to be looking out the window.
-
This is David's little little little piece.
-
You ready? When she saw King David leaping
-
and dancing, what was he doing? Giving God extravagant praise.
-
Before God, her heart was filled with scorn.
-
They they they brought presence of God and set it in the middle
-
of the tent pavilion that David had pitched.
-
David, set a place aside for God.
-
Then and there, David worshiped. Oh, do you see?
-
He praised. Then he entered worship
-
offering. Burnt offerings and peace
-
offerings. Hey, this is about to get good.
-
Every anybody ever watch soap operas?
-
So can you Can you see this? His, his, his, his girl is
-
looking out the window and she's watching her men.
-
He just out there just now. You don't want to play music.
-
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
-
When David. Come on, come on.
-
When David had completed the sacrifices of burnt and peace
-
offerings, he blessed the people in the name of God.
-
So after he blessed God, he blessed the people.
-
After he had his moment, then he was able to bless.
-
Others you about to leave out of here this week and you need to
-
get your praise on. So wherever you go, guess what
-
you can't got. You ain't going to complain.
-
You going what? Bless others.
-
He said everyone went home. David returned home to bless his
-
family. Sweetie Michel Michel, Saul
-
starter, came out to greet him. How wonderfully the King has
-
distinguished himself today, huh.
-
He's a little passive aggressive self.
-
How wonderful Distinguishing yourself, huh?
-
Exposing yourself or can't even say, exposing yourself.
-
Exposing himself to the eyes of the servants maids like some.
-
Burlesque St. Dancer I can see her right now.
-
Just he all kind of demons. Just.
-
Look, look, look. Like I just.
-
I can, I can. I can see David, I can see the.
-
Fire God, stirring up in her, hitting him.
-
Because I'm praising God and you about to condemn me, thinking
-
I'm out here trying to look cute in front of some chicks that's
-
all covered up in this heat. I can't.
-
I can't even see nothing like girl.
-
Come on. Like, I know I messed up in the
-
past, but this is different. I'm a new man.
-
Step off my back. Michael.
-
Michelle, come on.
-
Do you see his face right now? Have you ever had that face?
-
Like, no. You're hard.
-
I'm glad we've been fasting. My cheeks ain't.
-
My cheeks ain't like you ever saying look.
-
David replied to my kid Michelle, and look what he said
-
in God's presence. I'll dance all I want.
-
I'm going to dance all I want. You can look at me crazy, but
-
I'm going to dance all I want. I got to fit it.
-
I got to fit it. I.
-
Got to fit it I. Got to fit it.
-
Look, look, look, look. But he he, not he, he got a why.
-
He says I'm a dance all I want. He chose me.
-
God chose me over your father and the rest of our family.
-
I've interrupted the bloodline and he made me a Prince over
-
God's people, over Israel. Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
-
I'm going to dance to God's glory.
-
And since you got something to say more recklessly even than
-
this, I'm going to turn up even more.
-
And you got to, you got to see this, you got to, you got to see
-
this, he says. And as far as I'm concerned,
-
I'll gladly look like a fool. But among these maids you're so
-
worried about, I'll be honored to no end.
-
Michelle Miguel, Saul's daughter, was bearing the rest
-
of her life. You.
-
Hey, don't, don't. Mess with my praise.
-
Anybody blessed by today? Wow.
-
I'll get to tonight what we skipped over.
-
But I just had a couple things to tell you really quickly.
-
The tent revival is this week. And what that simply means is if
-
you didn't come any other night, I'm asking you to make it this
-
week. And if you can make every night,
-
that would be worth your sacrifice.
-
Listen, we rarely will meet every single day, but at the top
-
of the year, we want to make a sacrifice To take the Lord with
-
Lord. We want to fix our mind on you.
-
We got 365 days. Here's the 1st 40.
-
OK. Whatever it is this week, so you
-
know what this means. There's a lot of people crying
-
out for revival. What does that look like where
-
the fear of the Lord is? There's freedom.
-
Right. What I can say if I wasn't the
-
pastor, this church, this is a very hungry and thirsty house
-
and there's been people here every single night for you.
-
Not just for them, but for you. Now, if you're not expecting
-
nothing, man, keep going on with your life.
-
Or if you feel like you got your own power community, whatever,
-
that's totally fine. What I'm saying is stop crying
-
out for revival and when you find it.
-
Then you want to say if it. Is or it ain't?
-
What is revival? It's not just merely the
-
presence of God. Like it's not just that the
-
other side of it is, is we're hungry and thirsty people are
-
pursuing God with reckless, abandoned.
-
So for five days straight we will be here.
-
OK, we meet at 6:30, and this is the week.
-
So we gave our, our community, our, especially our leaders 35
-
days to get their self free. We've been under the hood for 35
-
days. So this this week coming they
-
can serve the people and we going to get under some other
-
hoods. OK, but they don't mean you
-
should have been here last year. They'll be down here at some
-
point too. Maybe, I don't know.
-
But what are we believing for this week?
-
Bring some demons up in here. They getting castle.
-
Where's the church at? Where's the church?
-
People are looking for freedom Vancouver.
-
And so we know. The one that can set you free.
-
Indeed. So what?
-
We're believing. Have you ever experienced
-
demonic oppression? You've been dealing with with
-
crazy nightmares. You've been dealing with mental
-
illness. You've been dealing with some
-
level of sickness. Are you done?
-
Are you tired? You know, friends.
-
Who? You the ones you've been calling
-
crazy for a long time. Jesus deal with crazy way better
-
than you can. You can't drive Jesus crazy.
-
So this week we are believing for freedom.
-
We're believing and. And let me tell you, revival is
-
not merely about legs growing and blind eyes opening.
-
If you encounter the love and the peace of God, and you walk
-
away from here with a radically changed heart, that's as good a
-
revival as you need. Revival is about God visiting
-
his people, and they take him up, he take them up, and he
-
lives with you forever and he changes your heart.
-
Revival is about him giving you a heart of flesh.
-
It's more about a heart transplant than a new leg
-
because there's a whole lot of healthy people with really bad
-
hearts. So what I'm telling you is this
-
week, are you hungry and thirsty?
-
Lay something down and get here. This place is going to be full.
-
It's going to be packed. We got extra heaters for the
-
tent and all that stuff, so we will make you warm.
-
We ain't got no food for you. OK, We got tea and water.
-
That's it. OK, so we'll be here this week
-
and then prayer Saturdays. We're opening our hub in
-
Vancouver. So I know the.
-
Only reason that people have not come to prayer in from Vancouver
-
is because it's not in Vancouver.
-
I know all my Vancouver people will come to prayer if it was
-
closer. So we went out and got a whole
-
like building just for Vancouver people to come to prayer.
-
Now I'm just playing, but we will have a super dope space
-
that we are opening up and we'll have more vision for that on a
-
week to week basis. But Tuesday nights we are going
-
to to start what we call Triumph Tuesdays.
-
It will be a midweek experience for creatives and entrepreneurs.
-
Anybody can come, but if you want to be poured into as a
-
businessman and woman or creative, this will be catered
-
towards you. Starting on February 20th, we
-
have our Kings and Priests vision.
-
And then? Prayer will be in the Hub every
-
Saturday at 10:00 AM. OK, so we know the Vancouver
-
people with the hustle and bustle city life.
-
You like to sleep in a little bit on your Saturdays after you
-
get your latte or your, you know, your Magnum Culotti or
-
whatever it is. And then and then Wednesday
-
nights start back up here went wonder Wednesdays.
-
And then we want to make sure that you come to our multi
-
conference. I want to introduce to you our
-
guest speaker all the way from North Carolina.
-
Her name. She's not here today but her
-
name is Natalie Runyon. Amen.
-
Some of you, some of you do not know her, but she is doing
-
really big global things right now.
-
So go follow. Her.
-
Go go comment on anything that she does and say.
-
Can't wait to see you at Lovequest.
-
She is coming and she will wreck you.
-
But when you go check out what she does, I am telling you, she
-
is a straight shooter. She does not play.
-
She keeps it real. She's on fire for the Lord and
-
she is going to challenge the body of Christ and that's it,
-
man. I don't got nothing.
-
I got a lot of stuff to say, but put your hand on your your
-
neighbor's shoulder. If they let you, if they still
-
got an attitude, you probably should not be friends with them.
-
They're a Hallelujah. OK, now here's a test for you.
-
When does the week, when does the week of revival start?
-
Tonight. Right, Right now.
-
Right now. That was a test.
-
That was a test. OK, no.
-
All our first time attendees go get your cafe.
-
Sorry for the the fast friendly food, but not sorry.
-
It's very good. It's an alternative for health
-
and so we love you guys. Now I want you to pray for your
-
neighbor and the challenge is I want you to pray for them for 10
-
seconds. Now for those that that say how
-
can you pray in 10 seconds, That's because you like to pray
-
long prayers. OK, you can pray for 10 seconds
-
because you are going to have a word as I'm talking, there's
-
something. You're going to declare.
-
Over their lives. It's something you're going to
-
declare. Over their lives.
-
That was spoken today. It could be simple.
-
Lord, I thank you for strength, courage and boldness in their
-
life. That's a three seconds.
-
So you got 7 more seconds or you say, Lord set a fire down in
-
their soul that they can't contain.
-
You can sing a song to them that they can't control.
-
OK, we got 10 seconds. And after 10 seconds, that's it.
-
OK. I'm going to say my Get your
-
love fixed, man. And now, OK 54.
