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 get your love fixed, man.
-
You know, I don't know about you, but Sunday after Sunday,
-
how do you keep the same Flames going, right?
-
Well, all I got, I get triggered when I think of how good God is.
-
Like everybody in here got triggers.
-
Now here's the part. If you really love yourself,
-
you'll stop getting triggered over trash and get triggered
-
over Triumph. Come on, look at your neighbor
-
and say stop getting triggered over trash and get triggered
-
over Triumph. Come on, we praise you, Jesus.
-
I'm triggered right now. I woke up this morning, I'm
-
triggered. Hallelujah.
-
That's what it sounds like when you trigger a grateful man.
-
You know what it sounds like when you trigger a complainer, A
-
defeated person? You trigger them and they just
-
face just right. Your, your, your trigger face.
-
Got your your your trigger's got a face.
-
And I think gratitude got a face, Your trigger's got a
-
sound. I think triumphant people got a
-
sound right. Now here's my thing.
-
Everybody in here chooses what they going to give their voice
-
to. You want to see a better world?
-
Stop giving. Stop giving your voice to trash.
-
You want to see a better world? Give your voice to triumph.
-
I'm coming out. I mean, I can go down the list
-
right now of what every person in here could be grateful for
-
starting at the fact you made it here right?
-
And and every last one of y'all standing up and look like most
-
of y'all got two legs. You standing on.
-
Come on, put. One hand up.
-
Now put the other hand up. Look like you got both hands, so
-
you should use them, right? All right.
-
How many? How many?
-
How many people. If you got one leg, go walk.
-
OK, we. So we got that many people just
-
with with one leg. OK.
-
All right. Let me let me say if you at
-
least got one leg. If you got at least two legs.
-
So that sounds like we should have more people.
-
You know what I'm saying? Jam and all.
-
You know what I'm saying? You got hands, you got legs.
-
That don't mean if you dance like this it's OK, But the Lord
-
receiveth the same. Come on, look at your neighbor.
-
Say you safe in here. You ready?
-
Tell your neighbor you might be offbeat down here, but in heaven
-
they take all forms of payment. Hey man, come on, put your hands
-
up one time, I declare over you. What the enemy has planned for
-
this coming week What the enemy has planned for you this coming
-
week, it will fail. Oh yeah, you hear what I'm
-
saying? If the enemy's coming to steal
-
your joy this week, it will fail.
-
If he's coming to steal your hope this week, it will fail.
-
If he's coming to steal your strength this week, it will
-
fail. Tell your neighbor it will fail.
-
Now this is the wrong church to come to if you sat next to
-
somebody you don't like. Because you're going to have to
-
talk to him at some point today. All right.
-
Last thing you last thing. I want you to look at somebody
-
and I want you to say, man, go ahead.
-
Listen, you are the second person this week that I had to
-
remind that they are so lucky to be standing next to me.
-
Now enjoy it while you have me. Come on.
-
Come on. Go ahead.
-
Have a seat in the presence of the Lord.
-
Go and have a seat. Y'all ready today, Huh.
-
Y'all ready today? Can we give it up for our first
-
time at T DS? One time.
-
I love, I love love Quest. I love you guys.
-
We we started our own little parking.
-
Our little parking lot right there.
-
Don't give us a dead end. We don't use it for a parking
-
lot. Amen.
-
It's all good now. Now I was in the back, Elder
-
John. I was in the back and I was
-
thinking, now have they. I know they posted that the the
-
the the crane broke. Right.
-
The crane. Broke.
-
Did they say why? They don't know why yet.
-
Investigation. Now, now.
-
I'm just going to be a little selfish right now.
-
I'm just going to be a little selfish right now.
-
I really think us meeting here every single night began to
-
shake some stuff up. Hey, now, look.
-
When I grew up, when I grew up in church, this how we knew if
-
you fell out in the Holy Ghost. And it was the Holy Ghost.
-
You didn't get hurt. Not let me tell you something
-
all you ought to be falling out and you get hurt.
-
No, But Deacon Rona never get hurt.
-
Holy Ghost all the time got hurt.
-
With some of the folks that just it's almost like the scripture
-
where the where the devil told Jesus to jump off the Cliff and
-
he said no, no, no, no no. We should not test God like
-
that. It's like people be coming in
-
here sometime, really testing God.
-
Like, like, let me tell you something, if it ain't the Holy
-
Ghost, a catcher may not catch you if you just throw on
-
yourself. All over the place, OK, but
-
nobody gets hurt. Nobody gets hurt and nobody got
-
hurt. Nobody got hurt over there.
-
Do you know, do you know how long they work?
-
That thing failed at a time. Nobody got hurt.
-
Now, see, this is crazy talk. For some people, it's also
-
biblical talk. For others, God does begin.
-
There is a sound that does. Have you ever stood next to a
-
stadium that was erupting and they've measured shaking from
-
just the unified sound? OK, this neighborhood ain't
-
heard a sound like this, so I wouldn't be surprised if the
-
gravel is shocked. It's a whole lot of stuff going
-
to get shaking around here, So I'm just saying I'm just going
-
to take some credit for it and they investigate all they want.
-
I hope they come to the church and do an interview.
-
I hope the news come around here.
-
You say what do you think caused this?
-
Well, let me tell you. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
-
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
-
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
-
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
-
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
-
Sunday, Monday Tuesday Wednesday Sunday Monday
-
Wednesday Thursday Friday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Friday
-
Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
-
Come on, give. God, some praise one time.
-
I just. I've been up.
-
I've been up. I've been up.
-
We've been up since 3:30 in the morning.
-
OK, OK And we got on an airplane from Calgary and came here and
-
we dropped off the plane, jumped off the plane and then we came
-
straight here. OK Now the way some of y'all
-
looking at me is like you got up this morning at one no, we not
-
going to do it again. We're not going to do it again.
-
And some of y'all like good and can I get a chair?
-
I just got to do y'all one time because I swear I'll be looking
-
like I'll be feeling like I am really at a zoo right now.
-
They looking like, wow, Lee, what is that down to the six
-
four giraffe from? Oakland, CA you Of course they
-
they lit now. Now the students over here, they
-
they they they they they lit. I can tell y'all really into it.
-
What y'all get. We are tired, we are tired.
-
What are we doing? And then you got the people.
-
I could tell you used to party. You look, look, look, Partying
-
leaves residue. So I can.
-
I mean, you you still look good. But I could tell you used to
-
party and some of you I could tell you still do.
-
OK, now listen, you got to sit down.
-
You got to sit down because I got to see them back there, OK?
-
And I'm like, I'll be wondering what's going on in your mind
-
because I know I'm like, this is different church where what
-
church you going to pull up on on the Sunday morning And we
-
just acting like this. We ain't even got to the word.
-
But I'm having a good time right now.
-
This is not a part of the program.
-
But that's OK Jesus is a part of the.
-
Program. And he's here.
-
And I'm free. I'm just free.
-
I'm just free, right? Nope.
-
No. Where you Where you going?
-
Where you Where you going? Where you going?
-
Where you going? I love you.
-
I love you. I love you.
-
Now look. Now, look.
-
Look, Look. Look.
-
So, so he was he was about to get upset at me.
-
I got to. Stop.
-
Stop, stop. I'm sorry, Lyle.
-
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
-
I'm so sorry. All right.
-
But then people, I'm like, at what?
-
Point I don't know. Maybe I'm different.
-
I'm like, at what point am I like like?
-
Like at what point? At what point do I join the
-
party right here? Here's I'm, I'm teaching right
-
now. OK, one thing I do know, there's
-
a percentage of people who lack revelation of praise.
-
So you so some people don't understand that God not only
-
requests praise but but commands praise.
-
When we understand that the wisest man to walk this.
-
Earth. Wrote songs and he got it from
-
his daddy. So we look at the longest book
-
in the Bible when we look at how we're taught to come into his
-
presence. You could not even get close to
-
the Holy of Holies without first Thanksgiving, then enter into
-
his courts with praise. What you got to understand about
-
that model? It was a it was it was pointing
-
to a New Testament model of worship.
-
That's why he says we remove the walls.
-
We're no longer, we're not a building.
-
But this is how my people are to come one Thanksgiving 2 praise.
-
Now when you look at different sorts of praise, I don't even
-
care what your nationality is. I don't care your ethnicity.
-
I don't care your culture. There's not one form of praise
-
that does not require expression, OK?
-
And so when you understand that this is how we enter his
-
presence, then he goes to John Four and tells the woman he says
-
that God is looking for some folks.
-
In the new. Testament.
-
There ain't too many people he's searching for, it says in
-
Matthew 633. Search me out, seek me.
-
Then he says in John 4, this is who I'm seeking.
-
I'm looking for the one that's going to worship me, and in
-
spirit and in truth. The truth is, is that I don't
-
care if we don't give one message today.
-
You are the message you. Are.
-
This living word you are this expression of God's goodness.
-
And if we as a people cannot learn how to collectively
-
express it, don't got to look the same.
-
OK, standing is unity. Now how we all bop that could go
-
all kinds of ways. But as far as learning how to
-
praise even when it's not my genre here, he says, he says to
-
I want you to be a witness to all nations.
-
You know how beautiful it is when all different types of
-
people come together and say on a daily basis.
-
Like this is not the genre of music I would choose, but boy I
-
want to join in on what God is doing.
-
Here, there's a lot of things we all pray for.
-
But how many people understand the power of your praise
-
accelerates this harvest that you're looking for, right?
-
We are a House of praise. And trust me, the day God says
-
lead a people alone. I will guess what?
-
Lead a people alone. But we don't build the culture
-
we have without spending time helping people understand the
-
importance of praise. But also there's a few people
-
who don't even know they got permission.
-
To praise God. Like this because we've been
-
taught when you come to church you better keep it together.
-
And you, there's a certain way you act well if you not backed
-
and free. And and and you gonna get
-
persecuted when you hear men. You know how many times I've got
-
persecuted or questioned about the name of our church.
-
They thought we were some cult because we had love.
-
As our name. You see how we gave away love.
-
I'm talking about. Boards of Religious
-
organizations. When we looked up your church,
-
we were wondering. We weren't quite sure, but I'm
-
glad you explained the vision of your church and no love quest.
-
Every single person in here, what we have in common, if we
-
was to put it in a nutshell, your career, your frustrations,
-
your highs, your lows, every person in here, you are looking
-
for love. You're not looking for a
-
diploma, You're hoping that diploma leads you to a certain
-
life. And at the end of that, what
-
you're looking for is love. What every person on a last, on
-
a deathbed is going to be looking for is love.
-
So since we're on our love quest, love, the fruit that
-
comes out of love, is joy. So a part of me encountering
-
God's love is giving him my expression of my gratitude, and
-
it says that the joy of the Lord becomes my strength.
-
Bible says he inhabits the praise.
-
Of his people. So if I want to commune with the
-
Lord, right, let me make break it down natural I know the.
-
World has has beat up this thing called sex and all of that and
-
even when I say that I know there's like oh what are you
-
about to say What are you about to say.
-
Well you go do your homework on abide in me and I'll abide in
-
you. When you look at he inhabits the
-
praise when he look at dwell in me.
-
And I would when you look at when you understand.
-
So I'm not just going. I'm married, man.
-
I love my wife. It's not fair of me to expect
-
her to abide with me as I abide with her without any praise,
-
without any Thanksgiving. We don't just go to work all
-
day, don't never talk to each other and come home and say
-
there's there's. Nothing in that.
-
You're just nasty. You're just you're just you're
-
you're. You know what I'm saying?
-
But, but, but when all day that little text message miss you,
-
sweetie, Love you. Little quick little FaceTime.
-
And you better take some notes. Quick little FaceTime.
-
Right, Right. Hair appointments.
-
They be watching. They be watching.
-
Hair appointments. Hey, fellas, take some notes
-
from me, OK? My wife.
-
My wife. Her hair right now.
-
Like her hair appointments. Hey, her hair appointments.
-
Hair, hair appointments. I'll be I'll be I'll.
-
Be making I'm like babe make a hair appointment and then I
-
dropped her off instead of meeting around the hair
-
appointment and I just had to take some little photo and I
-
made a little video of her little process right.
-
So cute right. And and and and and but but but
-
but it wasn't about later on that night No no no no.
-
This is an accumulation of praise right.
-
This is this isn't about tonight.
-
This isn't about getting my blessing.
-
Today, this is about she has something in me.
-
And when I give her my praise, there is something she gives
-
back to me that goes beyond that intimacy.
-
But she gives me back the affirmation that I need, but I'm
-
sowing it. So when I sow praise, the
-
strength that I'm praying for comes out of my praise.
-
It doesn't come out of me observing someone else's
-
strength. You can be around strength and
-
not get strong. Get what I'm telling you.
-
And So what I'm saying this isn't about knowing the words we
-
got TV's. This isn't about loving the
-
genre. This is about fighting.
-
This is about gratitude. This is about showing somebody
-
that may be in this room, that don't know Jesus Christ that I
-
made the best decision of my life.
-
You are not going to see me five days a week, give more energy to
-
the world than I do in a couple of hours for the Lord that woke
-
me up, that gave me the job, that fed me, that took care of
-
my children. No, no, no.
-
Do you understand how many people here got babies?
-
Let me tell you something. There's some stuff that can
-
happen to your children that you can't help.
-
Your God deserves a praise for your baby being alive today.
-
There's plenty parents who did not.
-
They have to put their babies to to rest.
-
I got two legs. There's many people in hospitals
-
amputated. Look, I'm fasting, but I have
-
something to eat. There's plenty people that are
-
dying of starvation. So all I'm saying is a person of
-
gratitude. It is hard to defeat.
-
While I'm waiting. I'm getting stronger.
-
Not because I'm waiting, but how I'm waiting.
-
When I'm waiting on marital breakthrough, I'm still giving
-
God praise. My praise cannot be conditional.
-
My praise has to be from a place of knowing that God is good.
-
Period. Point blank, you cannot think a
-
person of grad. I mean, you cannot stop a person
-
of gratitude. It's all I want to do.
-
You know how people have the the convictions and the ministries,
-
and you can go to a conference and somebody specializes in
-
business. You know what you need?
-
Just as important as business, if not more a lifestyle, a
-
savings account filled with praise.
-
I'm telling you what you're dreaming for will find your
-
heart of gratitude. My prayer for you.
-
Today all of us become set on fire for the Lord.
-
When I say fire, that don't mean screaming, that don't mean it
-
looks like me. Doesn't mean it looks like
-
Annabeth. When I'm talking about praise.
-
I'm not talking about being on fire for the Lord because you
-
can praise God without being on fire.
-
You can praise God depressed. But if I want to fighting chance
-
of coming out of depression I better give them praise with a
-
little bit of strength I do have.
-
So when you come back Sunday. When you come back Monday.
-
When you come back Tuesday. When you come back Wednesday.
-
When you come back Thursday. When you come back Friday.
-
When you come back Saturday. Guess what we going to be doing
-
praise. And you going to have an.
-
Opportunity to what? Praise.
-
You can't call your restaurant the House of Pancakes if you
-
only do pancakes once a week, right?
-
This is this is a House of praise.
-
Which means we do praise what? Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
-
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
-
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
-
You don't. Got to stand Sunday, Monday.
-
Tuesday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday.
-
Monday. All right, all right.
-
All. Right.
-
All right. Y'all.
-
Hello. Hello.
-
Let's do it All right. Hallelujah.
-
We started a new series last week called Cry Holy, Cry Holy.
-
All day was people's hearts getting mushy For the Lord
-
again, Sunday night was astronomical.
-
Sunday night, it was foundational, it was pivotal, It
-
was something that I know God is on the move for whoever is ready
-
to move. But he's also not going to move
-
people that don't want to be moved.
-
But I will tell you that this year it's go time.
-
But we can't be so go that we abandoned being who we're called
-
to be. We were called holy before we
-
were called rich. Understand.
-
Before you was formed in your mother's womb, you were created
-
to live a consecrated life. Meaning it doesn't mean you
-
don't have friends. It just means you are set apart
-
for the Lord. It means he gets first dibs in
-
your life, right? And so we cry holy.
-
The return to the fear of God. I believe people into the best
-
of their knowledge. You would say I love God, but
-
I'm here to tell you can love God and not fear God.
-
The decisions we make is the fruits of our reverence.
-
I can't say I love God but abandoned everything he put in
-
place for a firm foundation. I can't say I love God and
-
mistreat his creation. I can't say I love God and be
-
mean to people. I can't say I love God and keep
-
making making decisions that will hurt people.
-
I can't say it and we hear it all the time.
-
I love God. Well, maybe you love him in one
-
of the other ways, but not agape.
-
OK, but not agape. You can love God in one, say
-
Eros, and not love him in agape, but in order to love him in
-
agape you. Love in all ways.
-
See, for US, religion has caused us to have a conditional
-
relationship with God instead of instead of a covenantial
-
relationship, right? We are covenant beings, not
-
conditional beings. So God didn't choose this
-
morning to look at our record and our resume and and give us a
-
day based on our past. My my day is not based on my
-
mistakes or my good merits, but for some reason we approach God
-
most of the time about things we want and things we need.
-
We rarely find a people faithful over pursuing God just to get to
-
know Him. You ready?
-
It takes a whole lot more to pursue God, to know Him than to
-
pursue him to get something from him.
-
And a lot of times your hard work got you the blessing, not
-
your relationship. And so you around here thanking.
-
God and he like, but I still miss you.
-
It's like only giving your kids things, but you're always gone.
-
It's like only giving your wife stuff.
-
She got a date night. But she don't got presents.
-
And we pride ourselves in, oh, I'm a tithe or oh, I go to
-
church or oh, I serve. But we look in the Bible and the
-
Bible says there's some people that's going to come to him in
-
the latter day in those days and say, God, look at what I've done
-
for you. I did it in your name, he going
-
to say, But I I I really never knew you, which in one for one
-
person you can be like man, how you going to do that?
-
Or for the other person they can look and say, whoa, that
-
simplifies life. I'm doing all this work thinking
-
that's going to please God and all he wants is to know me.
-
And again, here's the crazy part.
-
He already knows me, which leaves nothing, but he just
-
wants to be in the presence of who he knows.
-
I spent all my life trying to do all these things.
-
And at the end of my life, I find out all God wanted was me.
-
Not my ties, right? Not not.
-
I serve all the time. I can't.
-
I can't go to God and be like, look at how many hours I put in
-
preaching. Look at how many counseling
-
hours I put in. Look at what I'm doing for my
-
kids. Look at how how what kind of
-
husband I am. Look, look, look, look, God,
-
I've been faithful. Everywhere you sent me.
-
Everywhere you sent me. I presented it back in
-
excellence. If you came right now, every
-
piece of fruit that you've given me, I've been faithful.
-
And it has multiplied. God, I've been a good son, I've
-
been a good husband, I've been a good father, I've been a good
-
friend, I've been a good Co worker.
-
And he going to say, but what about me and you?
-
It's like it it's crazy because if you forfeit knowing him, then
-
how do you keep doing something for someone you don't know?
-
So what is your point of giving someone you don't know all this
-
work you wouldn't even do that on earth is is this person that
-
sit behind a box or sit behind a curtain and you just keep
-
dropping stuff off every day. Hey Sir.
-
Hey, ma'am. Hey, I got.
-
I got a tie there, or. Hey, I got some good looks for
-
you. Hey, I got a good job for you.
-
Hey, I got some Tonka trucks for you.
-
Hey, I got a condo for you. Hey, I got a house.
-
You keep doing all this stuff and the Bible says not PT.
-
Bible says you're going to get to the end and he's going to
-
blow on everything. And the only thing that's going
-
to mean anything to him is what was done for him.
-
Let me tell you, I don't have time.
-
You don't have time to continue to live life, to show up at the
-
end with stuff that's not going to matter to God.
-
When I look out here, I'm going to show up to God.
-
I'm testifying and I could look around and I could see who came
-
and how you was when you first came, how you are now.
-
EJ Hero. We going to be able to show up
-
to the Lord and. He's going to say, well done.
-
I don't know about you. I don't want that smoke when I
-
show up to the king. And he like, what's that?
-
Oh, that means something to your friends.
-
But that don't mean nothing to me.
-
Oh, that means something. To your to your city, but.
-
That didn't mean that. That didn't mean nothing to me.
-
And it's not even about hey, look at all these souls I showed
-
up with. But was your heart.
-
About winning souls. Pure.
-
He's calling us back the holy because that's the purest form
-
of how he created us, right? Why wouldn't we want to be the
-
best version of us? According to the Lord?
-
I showed a video last week. Now what are we doing?
-
Some of us look at this and say, oh the world, if I read my Bible
-
correctly, the Lord, starting with the Father, gave a solution
-
to this. For God so loved the world, that
-
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him
-
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
-
Jesus came that he might destroy the work of the enemy, and then
-
he says go. He died for us, He rose for us
-
and he said I got to go. So the same power that you see
-
me living in, I'm going to sin. The same spirit that raised
-
Jesus from the dead lives in. Oh, no wonder it's a persecution
-
against the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
-
No wonder it's a humongous drop off on deliverance ministry.
-
We got to get you out of here in 90 minutes not knowing that a
-
part of some of the humor and a part of some of the spontaneous
-
music is because there's people in here that through the the
-
humor and through the spontaneous little, You think,
-
no, it's strategic because what's happening before God goes
-
in, He has to at least get people to pull their walls down
-
and get comfortable. So then what we about to give
-
them, There's a place in their heart to receive it.
-
There's a process, there's an order and there's a strategy to
-
bring people to freedom. This is why people pay $750 in
-
our city in the same week that we're doing our revival week,
-
inviting people for free to encounter the Holy Ghost.
-
Because through the sunset, free is free indeed.
-
Hold up. They not leaving free.
-
Indeed, they leaving more bound and free indeed.
-
Now, as us believers, we believe a word or we don't, right?
-
Right. We've been meeting 28 days in a
-
row, gearing ourselves up for this one week of revival where
-
we're believing. And if you came last year, you
-
seen I'm looking at people. I'm looking at people that was
-
delivered. You saw.
-
You saw. You saw.
-
So when I look at them, I'm like, whoa, buddy, there's
-
people looking for freedom, but the church isn't open for it.
-
So let me go pay $750 for this seminar for a group that is
-
taking these different types of methods to take people through
-
an emotional exercise, and then they're going to receive some
-
level of freedom and peace. I receive some level of freedom
-
and peace when I used to smoke weed when I used to sip
-
Hennessy. And drink beers.
-
And I used to experience something, but I didn't realize
-
the enemy was like, oh, let me back up.
-
You already on the cycle. But that wasn't free.
-
Indeed. So right in our city there's
-
people signing up because they heard some people give
-
testimonies of the freedom they're experiencing through
-
this class. Who was the last person you
-
expressed how much freedom you received?
-
And if you ain't received none or experienced any, then today
-
is your day. How many people come in on the
-
night of prayer? I guarantee you if they did that
-
for 40 days, they'd have people signing up and probably get
-
$10,000 for it. But when the church is calling,
-
hey, we're meeting every night for 40 days to start our year.
-
Come out, pray. Can we get 2?
-
So then there's people that saying where you going on a
-
Tuesday night? I'm going to church.
-
Church on a Tuesday. Oh y'all serious.
-
I watch next door for a few weeks straight when they have
-
their seasons, where they come together and pray parking lot
-
full every single night and they come.
-
After we're done. I I really believe that the
-
Christian Church we plan and I think it's some people in here
-
God saying you really love me or what?
-
He said stop playing church. Christianity isn't a trend.
-
Jesus really died, right? If if you had a friend that died
-
for A cause, like we'll protect, let's not talk about somebody
-
who died serving the country. Let's not talk.
-
About that we get protective over that, but what about
-
protection over the one that died for the whole world?
-
How dare us coming to church week after week and accept not
-
living in power. How dare us know that stuff is
-
like this? People are registering for
-
freedom but they not going to church.
-
May we never complain to the government when they shut us
-
down and say you guys are not essential.
-
We're not. People are dying, so the
-
government doesn't need churches that have 90 minute services.
-
They're trying to stop the world to find a cure.
-
Now, what would happen if there was some churches in the city
-
that they knew of that when people come here, for some
-
reason they get better? You would take all that?
-
Well, don't ask that question and then Leech off of Jesus's
-
death. It took all that, and you
-
accepted it, right? Might God send messengers who
-
are courageous to tell the church time is out playing
-
church? And may there be people that's
-
willing to listen and say, where can I get my life together
-
right? You are not coming to most of us
-
who come to church because we're going through it, right?
-
Now in our. Lives.
-
What if I told you this very topic is the cure to your life's
-
frustrations? It is the cure to you leaving
-
behind legacy. The fear of God is the very
-
foundation for a good life. The fear of God because fear is
-
not bad unless it's destructive fear.
-
But when fear is properly directed, it's fruitful.
-
I fear God. I'm not scared of God.
-
I reverence God. He gets the last say, and I
-
don't want to make any decisions that interrupt or get in the
-
way. His plan for my life or nobody
-
else's? So when I make choices in my
-
life, I consider his plan for me.
-
I set myself aside and say, you know what?
-
I can't go there. Because if I go there, the place
-
I'm in in my life, it's not going to bring God glory because
-
I know how tempted I'm going to be.
-
I know I might slip. I'm like, so for a season of my
-
life, I'm setting myself aside right?
-
I'm not going to sleep around, not because I'm so holy, but I'm
-
keeping myself for God's plan. And whoever I'm sharing this
-
with, it's who God has appointed me for.
-
So the lack of reverence in the land, and we see the mockery of
-
God, right? We bopped to.
-
We bopped to what was his little Nas ex sweet man.
-
We turn up, we turn up and we'll turn up to that song and then
-
we'll see the visual and like, oh wait a minute, he called.
-
Himself the Second coming. Oh, he mocking God.
-
He he really mocking God. Like, what's going This is a
-
part of prophecy. Though it's in the book that
-
we're heading to those days. What we see in the other video,
-
there's a prophecy that says, hey, there's going to be the
-
Antichrist. They're going to be false
-
prophets and they will have signs and wonders.
-
That's what we just saw. There's disciples for the other
-
side working. What are we doing?
-
And every last one of us? If your hope is to see King
-
Jesus, a part of your encounter with the Father is going to be
-
what did you do? Fruit that remains.
-
And yes, it costs something, but it doesn't cost you joy.
-
But I remember partying. It costed my joy.
-
I remember getting drunk. It cost him my joy.
-
It cost him my joy. The question is, is what are you
-
willing to continue to pay for but you are holy?
-
Psalm 22 says. Oh, you who dwell in the holy
-
place where the praises of Israel are offered.
-
Look what he says. He inhabits the praise of his
-
people, he says. But you are holy.
-
Oh, you who dwell in the holy place where the praises of
-
Israel, or Lovequest, or Vancouver, or Wiley, or Surrey
-
are offered, or the Richmond's household.
-
He inhabits, He dwells, he makes his abode, He makes home, where
-
praises go up, and he calls it a holy place.
-
To dwell is to be fully present in a place, or with a person to
-
settle in or engage with. I'll say it again, he inhabits
-
or he dwells in the place of the praises of his people, which
-
means he's fully present in a place or with a person.
-
Look, when we're when we're praising, he settles in and he
-
engages with us. So I cannot ever show up
-
anywhere where I'm praising God and not understand that he's
-
showing up and he's ready to engage Exodus 15.
-
The enemy spoke. I'll pursue.
-
I'll hunt them down. I'll divide up the plunder.
-
I'll glut myself on them. I'll put out my sword.
-
My fists will send them. Really.
-
That was the end of these plans, and it's still his plans.
-
And it says, But you blew with all your might.
-
Thank you, Lord, for interceding.
-
Thank you, Lord, for fighting for me.
-
And the sea covered them. They sank like a lead weight in
-
the majestic waters. Who compares with you among
-
gods, oh God, another psalmist says.
-
Who is like the Lord? No, no, no, no, nobody.
-
If our God is for us, who can be?
-
Who can keep his promise? Come on, there's no I like it.
-
What can step berate? This.
-
From the from the love of Jesus. He will keep his promise.
-
Come on, He will keep his promise.
-
There's nobody like him. Nobody like him who is like the
-
Lord, shout it out. Nobody.
-
When we're talking about living a holy life, we're living a life
-
that says nobody is like him who is like the Lord.
-
Say nobody. Then I asked him, what is like
-
the Lord? No thing.
-
And then where is like the Lord? No where I can't wait to go to
-
the Baha. I can't wait to go to Italy.
-
I can't wait to go to Belize. I can't wait to go to Thailand.
-
I can't wait to go to wait to go to, wait to go to wait to go to
-
Curry. That's what we going to do wait
-
to go to. No, we we we can't.
-
We can't wait to go to. We're more excited, we're more
-
expectant. We're more planning.
-
We're more putting money aside. We're more telling people about
-
a vacation we got coming up. Then the peace, the vacation
-
that entered my soul when Jesus came in.
-
Do you want to do you want to know how do you want to You want
-
to know why we we we got, we do what we do because, man there's
-
a party going on up in here. There's a party going on right
-
here. All right.
-
Yes. That's not right.
-
That's that's not right. All right.
-
And. Then, well, who?
-
Is like the Lord nobody. What is like the Lord?
-
No thing. And where is like the Lord?
-
Nowhere and there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock
-
of Jesse, David's father. Come on, come on.
-
Happy fingers, happy fingers, happy fingers.
-
All right. And a branch out of his roots
-
shall grow and bear fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord shall
-
rest upon him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the
-
Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge, and of the
-
reverential and obedient fear of the Lord, and shall make him of
-
quick understanding and his. Delight church, Can we get to
-
this? Can Can our delight be in
-
Reverend the Lord? Like like like those that have
-
come every night or even several times a night, several times a
-
week? You would be lying if you didn't
-
say there wasn't some natural fatigue, but I don't know if I'm
-
the only one. But once I get here with the
-
body of Christ, there's something that kicks in that
-
there's a supernatural strength. And if I could just get in the
-
room, I walk out with more encouragement, more courage,
-
more faith, more strength. Just getting in the body,
-
getting in the room for where God is their freedom.
-
So when we come, everybody tired, Everybody got kids,
-
everybody got jobs. Everybody.
-
Maybe not everybody, everybody got stuff to do, but man, we'll
-
get off work early to get to that soccer game.
-
We'll get off work, work early for that, for that hot date,
-
right. If we bout to go out of town,
-
we'll we'll take off a whole day so we can pack and go on our
-
vacation. But that's just prayer.
-
But then you pray, Lord help me. And God's like, that sounds like
-
a voice of somebody that don't like prayer.
-
Because when you understand, prayer is not a moment, It's a
-
lifestyle. It's it's a delight.
-
It's something that I practice. If I'm in the NFL, you can't.
-
I don't. I don't play football in moments
-
of my life. If I am a professional football
-
player or professional anything, it's what I do, right?
-
It's what I do. So if prayer is giving to me,
-
man, let me let me put this to a stop.
-
Hey, hey, Christians, we have the freest form of communication
-
with our master. Everyone else's prayer life
-
comes with bondage. But why do is everybody else
-
more disciplined when it comes to prayer?
-
As a religion? They won't stop.
-
Some will stop in the middle of the day, 5:00 PM.
-
No matter where I've. I've been in cafes and folks run
-
in with their mat and say, can I just take a moment and pray in
-
the hallway anywhere. What is up with us there?
-
There's religions. They're knocking on doors and we
-
can sit here and judge and say well that that's not the way the
-
truth and the life. But when the last door you
-
knocked them see God says I honor them.
-
That's why. That's why they that's why they
-
own in the in N outs. That's why they own in
-
universities, big universities as a religion because they're
-
unified around the foundation. For us it's like no.
-
And I I know we going to have a fire prayer House of prayer.
-
Like if if y'all made it, If you can see how many people who
-
would have never thought they'd be on a microphone, Come up here
-
and pray. Give me that microphone.
-
Give me that microphone. Give me that microphone.
-
Give me that microphone. Give me that microphone.
-
Give me that. Andrew, come up here and pray
-
real quick. You got 66.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
You go hit. Hallelujah.
-
Father God, we just give you all the honor, all the glory and all
-
the praise. Father God, we thank you for
-
this, the day that the Lord has made.
-
We thank you for breathing our lives.
-
We thank you that this day you woke us up.
-
You gave us a strength to get up.
-
Then we got the opening to put our face in the sun.
-
And then you call us Beloved Son and beloved daughter.
-
We declare this over to every cent with everybody, like the
-
sound of my voice, that you are son and daughter of God in the
-
name of Jesus. Amen.
-
Father God, I thank you that freedom is in this real.
-
Father God, I thank you that we no longer are blind, but Father
-
God. We see Father God and we hear
-
your voice. Father God, because we are Son
-
and we are daughters, and we hear our Father's voice.
-
Father God, we hear you clearly in the morning and in the
-
evening. Father God, you speak to us,
-
Father God. And because we are your sons and
-
daughters, we say, Father, I am listening to you, I am listening
-
to you, and where you send me, I will go, Father God, because I
-
want to please you and I love you.
-
Amen. Hallelujah, Father.
-
We come before you boldly. We have the authority that we
-
need, Father you has given us. The power to.
-
Tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the works
-
of the enemy. Father, we can slay giants in
-
the name of Jesus. We are more than conquerors.
-
We are overcomers in the name of Jehovah.
-
Lord, we honor you. We magnify you and we glorify
-
your beautiful name. Come on, church, you can pray.
-
Thank you, Father God for the awakening in our spirit today,
-
Lord God, we ask Lord God for the spirit that's revived the
-
Lord God to come through. Lord God.
-
We ask Lord God that Lord we trample Lord God over the
-
circumstances, Lord God over the things that drag us down, over
-
the things that want to keep us bound.
-
Lord, God, but. Lord, we say no.
-
More, Father, We ask that you would take hold, Lord God.
-
We take hold, Lord God of who you are, Lord God.
-
We take hold of the victory, Lord God, the victory that you
-
have placed in our hands. Lord Godfather, we ask for the
-
spirit of holiness, Lord God that Father we come, that we
-
would consecrate ourselves. God, We ask that our hearts,
-
Lord God, would bow before you, Lord God more than our words,
-
Lord God more than our song. Lord.
-
God more than our. Actions, Lord God, but that our
-
hearts Lord God they would bow before you.
-
Lord God let us walk out with the revelation that today Lord
-
God, the revelation Lord God of what our heart posture should
-
look like. God let the holiness flow
-
through this God in US, Lord God.
-
Thank you, Father. We come as covenant people with
-
a covenant God, a God who had done all, who has completed all
-
these things. Father, I thank you who we come
-
before the throne of grace with boldness, because you have
-
completed all things. Lord, I thank you, though today
-
in this house I come before you boldly.
-
I come with more for you with expectation because of your
-
goodness for the great power that you have completed.
-
Father, I praise you for what you're doing in this house.
-
I thank you, Lord, that you are with us.
-
You're about us. Your Grace is on us.
-
Your spirit is dwelling with us. You are working in US, in power.
-
See great and mighty things. Boo.
-
Father, I praise you today. Your spirit is working.
-
Your spirit is empowering. Your spirit is guiding.
-
Your spirit is leading. And we're walking.
-
We're stepping in the covenant of Your grace.
-
We're stepping in the covenant of your love.
-
We're stepping in covenant today in Jesus name.
-
Thank you, Lord, that our trust is in you.
-
Lord, our foundation is in you. Lord Jesus, Thank you, Lord God,
-
that you made this House of Davidic House of worship, a
-
Davidic House of praise, a Davidic House of fight.
-
Lord God, I thank you, Lord God, you bless, love, questions, the
-
anointing. To.
-
Shut down the entire block. Shut down the entire city,
-
cutting off every principality, every evil spirit that tries to
-
run rampant in this city. It is cut off.
-
It is removed. Come.
-
On. Lord God, I thank you.
-
Lord, you're doing a new thing in Canada through Love quest.
-
A new thing in Canada through Vancouver, a new thing in Canada
-
through BC. Lord Jesus, I thank you, Lord
-
God, you're giving us a new fight, a new power, a new grace,
-
a new praise. Lord Jesus, I thank you, Lord
-
God, that we that we abide in You.
-
Lord, we abide in your heart. We abide in your praise.
-
In Jesus name. Thank you, Father.
-
We cry Holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, Almighty God, You
-
are good. And we thank you.
-
We thank you for this house. We thank you that we can praise
-
thank you for the breath in our lives.
-
Thank you that you have given us words.
-
You've given us your word. We thank you that you are the
-
word. Father God, you are here.
-
You never leave because you abide.
-
And, God, I just thank you. I thank you for what you're
-
doing in this place. I thank you for homecoming.
-
I thank you for the sons and daughters that are coming home.
-
I thank you for the revelation that they have arrived home.
-
I thank you for what you're doing.
-
I thank you. That revival has landed.
-
I thank you. That Lord.
-
Let it begin in me. Let it begin in me, Father.
-
God, I thank you. I thank you for what you're
-
doing in this place. May we never take it for
-
granted. May we never take it for granted
-
that we get to be in the House of the Lord.
-
We cry holy, holy, holy. Are you, Lord God.
-
Oh. My just for a few moments, just
-
in this posture of worship. Just have a seat but stay in
-
this. Posture of worship.
-
You got to be like, oh, you just called up people that's on the
-
prayer team. No, I didn't.
-
That wasn't a plan of the program.
-
See, God's equipping his people for battle and for building.
-
What's happening here every night is people are getting
-
activated. This is like the book of Acts.
-
People are getting activated. It's what we call right the same
-
way. Boom.
-
That's how life will hit you. And you ain't got time to then
-
run to church and be like, oh, can somebody help me?
-
Can you can somebody pray for me?
-
It's like life gonna hit you just like that.
-
Deborah, come up here. Yes, I'm ready.
-
I'm talking to somebody in here, Young man, right here, young man
-
right here, young man right here.
-
Just like college age, young man, boom.
-
I'm ready when life hits you. Just like that.
-
You got to. I'm ready.
-
Your response when life hits you is Hallelujah.
-
In the name of Jesus, I rebuke the enemy.
-
In the name of Jesus, the enemy is a lie.
-
The spirit of fear does not live in me.
-
I am a son. I am victorious.
-
I am rising to the top. I am not.
-
I am free from defeat. My chains are under my feet.
-
I am a child of God. No, no, no.
-
It's no reason for a believer. Response to trouble to be
-
defeat. No, no, no, no.
-
Life is going to come to poke out of you what you've been
-
putting in you. And it's in that moment that
-
when when when pressure hits you but praise comes out of you,
-
somebody's watching like, whoa, I never seen somebody respond
-
like that. You you know how you watch these
-
airplane movies that that, that that the airplanes are supposed
-
to crash? But then there's this skillful
-
pilot that lands the plane. But you know what that pilot
-
does have? Poise the pilot.
-
Could. Not wait until the plane crashed
-
to read the manual. His response was preparation.
-
It wasn't fear. It wasn't a phone call.
-
What do I do? What do I do?
-
What do I do? No, no, no, no.
-
He might have had some people to say, Hey, you need to go over
-
here. We're going to find a place for
-
you to land. I just need you to stay, Stay in
-
the air, Drive around a little bit.
-
But we're finding a place. We're preparing for a landing.
-
And all heaven all angels need sometimes is for you to just
-
hang in there. We just need you to fight.
-
And how do we fight? We praise him.
-
We live. We we pray.
-
It's through our faith. It's through our faith.
-
His rescue of you should compel reverence from you.
-
His rescue of you should compel reverence from you.
-
And the four living creatures individually having six wings
-
were full of eyes all over and within.
-
Prophetically speaking, these wings with eyes is Speaking of
-
intellectual or intelligent praise.
-
Like, I'm not just up here. It can feel for some people who
-
need, you know, the joke at the top and you need this and you
-
need boom, and you need boom, and you need boom and you need
-
boom and you need boom and you're like, whoa.
-
I followed along with that very well.
-
You know what I'm saying? Like, Nah, there there, there's
-
intellectual print. There's all kinds of stories in
-
this room. And if we used to break down
-
each person's story, we would probably have to take a
-
different path to reach each person.
-
Somebody's here and they're looking, They got gifts inside
-
of them. And somebody here is like, man,
-
I I, I, I'm, I'm pregnant with some.
-
I've always had gifts inside of me.
-
But man, I just never been to a place where I've been activated
-
or seen or I've been a place where I could be equipped.
-
You know what I'm saying? Like, like who is that in here
-
that when you see other people activated, something begins to
-
stir up inside of you. Stand to your feet.
-
Stand to your feet. Stand to your feet.
-
Even if you're not a a part of the family here.
-
But but when you see others activated, there's something
-
inside of you. Whether it's conviction, rather
-
it's passion, rather it's like men.
-
I've been waiting to be activated.
-
I know there's gifts inside of me.
-
Lift your hands right where you are, Lord God.
-
In the name of Jesus, I declare that the same Holy Spirit that
-
raised Jesus from the dead is in this room.
-
I pray that you go to each and every person right now, Lord,
-
and stir up their gifts. Even if they can't articulate
-
those gifts, Lord, Stir up the gift.
-
Set a fire in their belly. Lord God, I declare there's a
-
deep conviction inside of them that they are on their way back
-
to the altar. Lord God, they will not turn
-
away again. Where they've been discouraged,
-
Lord, I declare. They pick it up today and they
-
walk in courage. I declare they begin to see
-
themselves. How you say they are not based
-
on being qualified by man, but they know that you've called
-
them. So I declare today.
-
They pick up their sword. Pick up your sword.
-
Lift your right hand up as a as as as a as a symbol of I'm
-
picking up my sword today and say I'm never putting it down.
-
Holy Spirit, sharpen my sword. Holy Spirit anoints me right
-
now. Teach me how to be skillful with
-
my gift set. Help me put my eyes on you and
-
my leg, not somebody else's lame I am a one of one.
-
I am fearfully and wonderfully made in Jesus name.
-
You can be seated, says they never stopped.
-
What did they never stop doing and saying?
-
Crying. Holy, holy, Holy is the Lord God
-
Almighty. Who was and who he is, Which
-
mean he is who he was and who is to come.
-
Which mean he is who he was and who is to come.
-
Split the Red Sea. He is.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your Red Sea?
-
It's the same thing he did for Moses.
-
Guess what he'll do for you. What's your lion's den?
-
Where's the scene when you walk in the rooms?
-
People just got something to say about you.
-
It feels like them Lions is ready to just chew you up.
-
He'll lock them. Jaws, Where are you going into
-
some pressure situations? Shadrach.
-
Where you at? Meshach, where you at?
-
Abednego. Where you at?
-
He'll protect you in the fire? Walk through it.
-
Same God and whenever. The living creatures offer glory
-
and honor Thanksgiving to him who sits on the throne.
-
Why did I highlight who sits on the throne?
-
This is also a spitting image. The living creatures offer
-
glory. Our lives bring God glory, the
-
living creatures. Offer honor, how we speak, how
-
we carry ourselves, how we love people and how we honor those
-
that God put in place of authority brings God honor and
-
Thanksgiving. Look to him who sits on the
-
throne. Here is a heavenly picture,
-
prophetically speaking on earth as it is in heaven, he says.
-
And. Whenever Terrance offers glory
-
and honor and Thanksgiving to the God that sits on the throne
-
of his heart, what happens when God takes the throne of your
-
heart? Not Mammon.
-
Not Fear of Man. Not Pharmakeia Drugs.
-
Not. Alcohol.
-
Not entertainment, not politics. What's sitting on the throne of
-
your heart? It says, when you bring glory
-
and honor. You ready?
-
Whatever is sitting on the throne of your heart, if you
-
bring it glory, honor, and Thanksgiving.
-
If you thank your boss more than you, thank God.
-
If you thank your kids more, you thank your spouse more than you.
-
You bring more honor to your friends then you do God, he
-
says, who lives forever and ever through the eternities of the
-
eternities, the 24 elders fall prostate.
-
You know what this picture is, Elder John is when US bring God
-
glory and honor and Thanksgiving.
-
When we're down here on earth worshipping and praising and
-
living lives of honor. You ready for this heaven?
-
This isn't just like my grandma who's passed away and went to
-
heaven. This is 24 Elders 2024, double
-
honor, double order. We doubling down on government.
-
When I talk government, I'm talking about spiritually
-
speaking. This number 24 is a number of
-
perfection. So what happens when his
-
children begin to praise and he's truly the king that's
-
sitting on their throne. These beings fall prostate,
-
right? So, so, so.
-
My praise go up. It sends a signal.
-
These beings that are sitting around his throne begins to bow,
-
signifying that his children are sending an offering.
-
Up. No, no, no.
-
When we're worshipping and when we're bringing glory and when
-
we're bringing honor. And that's why he says the fear
-
of God is the beginning of wisdom.
-
In other words, the reverend wrench of fear of God moves God
-
to unlock his mind and his heart.
-
So when I understand the key to get into his presence, what's
-
actually happening? There's elders and there's
-
angels and there's living creatures around the throne.
-
They not just crying holy, holy, holy, because they're just in
-
his presence because he don't necessarily need that.
-
They're on a nonstop holy, holy, holy because around the world
-
there's nonstop people bringing him glory, bringing him honor,
-
and they're saying holy, you're moving.
-
In Terence's life, holy, the elders are moving.
-
You're moving, you're moving. And when we bow down and he has
-
the throne of our hearts and we come together and we send this
-
sound up when we forgive people Bringing him glory.
-
When we witness bringing him glory, when we serve him in
-
excellence, bringing him honor. When that happens, heaven.
-
Why you think Jesus says pray this way on earth?
-
As it is in heaven, we underestimate what kind of
-
relationship we have with heaven.
-
The Governor of Heaven, Holy Ghost, was sent down to live
-
within us. So when we praise its
-
authorities being sent up to heaven, these are signals.
-
And so when we signal what you think they doing on one weekend,
-
they signaling somewhere. What do you think people do when
-
they channel spirits? There's people in here that used
-
to walk in that life. What are you doing when you're
-
channeling the spirits? When people are chanting,
-
they're calling on ancestors. Seem like the world kind of get
-
this. They're calling on ancestors.
-
You see great actors calling on the role.
-
They're playing the person to take over their body.
-
So when I'm worshipping the Lord, I'm calling on help.
-
I'm calling on strength. I'm calling on angels.
-
I'm calling on my. I'm calling on my joy.
-
I'm not sitting back waiting for joy.
-
I am signifying what joy looks like.
-
And then joy finds its signal. I I I am, I am.
-
I don't have no strength, but I'm standing.
-
So then strength finds its signal.
-
But how? You think the remote control and
-
all these TV's working? Something is sending them a
-
signal. Therefore, then we get back a
-
picture. We get back a video.
-
When we press play, it sends a signal.
-
I don't know about technology like that, but I'm I know they
-
work like that somehow. I don't know all the names.
-
So if God wired the TV's that way, if, if he wired like, like,
-
have you ever thought about if I call right now, I got Adam's
-
phone number and my phone and I'm going to find his phone
-
number. There's tons of names in here,
-
tons of phone numbers, but I got to find who I'm talking to.
-
There's plenty of people on my phone, just like you got plenty
-
of stuff in your heart. So I'll find Adam and I'll press
-
call and that call. When I call Adam, he don't
-
activate nobody else's line but his and it sends a signal from
-
my phone, not to his phone to a tower and then that tower sends
-
a signal to his phone and then that tower connects us.
-
If I don't ever send a signal then I can't expect to hear
-
back. And have you ever called
-
somebody and then you was like I called you and on day end they
-
said I don't have a missed call so you can send a signal and it
-
may not reach. So this is what what do you do
-
you notice? Have you ever reached somebody
-
who you tried to call but it didn't go through?
-
What'd you do? You called again until you got
-
through trying to teach you how to worship and how to pray,
-
right? Because he tells Daniel he says,
-
hey, the first day you called, I heard you, but there was some
-
things that was contending for the response, he said.
-
I'm glad you kept praying. What reference does it keeps you
-
from getting fatigued, calling back?
-
Because what reference says I know you're there.
-
Something must not be. Maybe the maybe the satellite's
-
down. I know you're there.
-
God, I'm not getting offended because I know you got a phone.
-
I know you got to pay this bill. You do know the blood when he
-
tore the veil. That just made sure we could get
-
reception. So when we talk in reverence,
-
you can't talk reverence without talking worship.
-
You can't talk worship without fear in God.
-
You know number one reason why people worship money?
-
Because they're afraid to not have it.
-
When's the last time you was afraid to not have God in your
-
life? This is the air I breathe.
-
And when we talking. Aw, it doesn't amaze you that
-
you woke up this morning. I I I kid you not.
-
I'm looking for reasons. I'm in.
-
I'm in the airplane today. You make that quick little turn,
-
we all leaning over near the cloud.
-
I mean, you better go back to the other way.
-
There's nothing you could do, you know.
-
I didn't see nobody get on the plane and go in the cockpit and
-
and check credentials, smell their breath to see if they got
-
on the plane high or drunk. Every single person got on the
-
plane, sat out and started watching TV, started reading,
-
got the audacity to go to sleep comfortably.
-
And I'm sitting here and I'm like.
-
God if I make. It on the ground one more time.
-
I'm going. See, this is how me and God
-
talk. One of my promises to God for
-
getting me out of darkness. Well, I will let the world know
-
that you are good. So excuse me if I'm stepping on
-
any toes, but this was my promise to him because he saved
-
me and maybe nobody in here went through anything.
-
And don't have a revelation of, even if you're not.
-
All the way where you want to be where you was.
-
So I told God, if I stepped on the I'm like a competitive
-
athlete. I'm like that.
-
Well, if you're going to kill me, there's a good chance right
-
now, buddy, while I'm up in the air, you better kill me now.
-
But if you let me get down on this ground and step.
-
Back up in that church, I'm going, I'm going to give God
-
some praise, man. We was up at 3:00 in the
-
morning. I was in the car.
-
Praising God because you know what?
-
I don't deserve. To be alive, and neither do you.
-
You're not alive because you have breath.
-
You have alive because somebody you're alive because somebody
-
gave you breath. So then use it for that.
-
I don't know why this is a burden.
-
For me, but I don't mind. I've played in front of 10s of
-
thousands of people at a time. I've had people Boo me and a
-
unified Boo make you. Feel some type of way.
-
I've had from cameras in ESPN and I will shoot a three.
-
And you hear the crowd. 30 I've heard that many people cheer
-
too, and that make you feel some kind of way.
-
I've had demonic voices in my ear that make you feel some kind
-
of way, but I've also heard God say I love you and that make you
-
feel some kind of way. And that's the.
-
Affirmation. I choose to hold on to that's.
-
What I wake up? There's many athletes depressed
-
because they miss the crowd noise.
-
They miss the approval of men. What if I told you today you
-
only woke up because he's approved?
-
You promise you the best of my ability tonight?
-
We're going to dive deep in here.
-
But there's Yeah, God is after a few of you this morning there's
-
a few of you in here that have been in a very and I'm and I
-
don't I don't want you to be dramatic.
-
I don't want you to attention seek.
-
This is a very real. Call right here.
-
There's a few people in here that have been in a very, very
-
dark place even this year. And you, you use like, this year
-
I'm coming out. I'm not to do it.
-
And it seemed like whatever you ended the year with, you still
-
can't shake it this year. I want to pray for you.
-
Now. You don't have to raise your
-
hand at all. That's on you.
-
But there's some prayer warriors in here.
-
And I just hear the Lord just saying, Son, daughter, whoever
-
you are. Let today be the last day you
-
struggle in secret. Let me take your hand.
-
It's an invitation for freedom. I know we'll have Revival week,
-
but I feel like God wants to set some people free today.
-
Is there anybody in here that feels even a little lighter from
-
when they walked in here? Is there anybody?
-
Yeah. One thing I promised my family
-
is I will never play church. And to some people, sometimes it
-
can seem like, man too serious. No, I'm just urgent, only got so
-
much life to live. I don't know when that end
-
coming but one thing I do know is when I'm on my bed which I
-
hope I'm not on the bed. I hope I just like man peace and
-
I just the body just dropped and I'm just like I don't want to go
-
through all that But I won't have.
-
No I won't I won't I won't have. I don't want to have nothing
-
left like I don't want to have words I could have spoke.
-
I don't want to have AI love you left that I should have said.
-
I don't want to have to try to fight to stay alive.
-
To have a conversation with somebody I should have squashed
-
beef with already. Life it's like that to the best
-
of my ability. I owe it to my my savior to give
-
you and the world in him everything.
-
He gave me the best of my ability, and that's God's plan
-
for some of you in here tonight. All of you.
-
But there's specifically some people who the Lord wants to
-
lift the blinds in your life today.
-
It's prayer. I don't care if you're serving
-
now. Don't be one in people who
-
overthinking. And you think yourself into a
-
dark place real quick. But you experience this
-
depression, this dark place, this anxiety, this heaviness in
-
your life. And when you come here, nobody
-
could tell. Nobody could tell.
-
And if you stood up today, somebody would be shocked
-
because you make somebody laugh. But is there anybody in here
-
who's ever laughed for somebody who couldn't laugh for their
-
self? Yeah.
-
But I want today to be a marker for you, whoever you are,
-
because what the enemy's plan to do with the little remnant of
-
the darkness that's left is to get you back to where God has
-
already brought you from. I'm here as an intercession to
-
step into your world today for a moment on behalf of my Heavenly
-
Father, and to stand in front of you until Satan.
-
You can't have him or her no more.
-
I'm here to look in the devil's eyes with you today and tell him
-
to back up by the authority of Jesus Christ, the name above
-
every name. Take your hands off of my
-
brother and my sister. This is the end of the road and
-
we have fasted and prayed, so I can come boldly expecting these
-
lingering things to fall off right now.
-
Will there be progress? Yes, there there is progress and
-
there is process. And you might walk out of here
-
and still have certain thoughts and but that doesn't mean that
-
God's not moving. It just means you now have to
-
move in the direction of the promise.
-
You can't walk out of here and go back into the same darkness
-
and and then be like see, God didn't heal me.
-
No, no, no, no, no. It's not only who the Sunset
-
Free is free indeed, but if the. Truth still set you free.
-
So after you receive this today, guess what?
-
You got to get to some Bible believing, spirit filled, faith
-
filled church and you got to learn of him.
-
I know a good church. You're at 1:00, but wherever you
-
want to go, you go. But we're always here for you.
-
But on the count of three, I'm going to ask you to slip your
-
hand into the air and I just want to pray for you really
-
quickly. You've been struggling with
-
darkness. I'm not going to ask you what
-
darkness. I'm not going to give you a
-
microphone and tell us to tell. I want to just pray for you.
-
That's it. But you've been struggling with
-
darkness and I want to say kudos to you because you keep
-
fighting, you keep getting up. But what I'm telling you is you
-
don't have to live that way because Jesus died for it.
-
Why live coping when he died? For you to completely overcome
-
the thing? So if that's you on the count of
-
three, you going to take ownership of your victory?
-
Not your darkness. So when you raise your hand,
-
you're not. Yeah, I'm an alcoholic.
-
No, no, no, no. You're raising your hand saying
-
no. I'm the Victorious 1.
