Cry Holy: The Return to the Fear of God pt 1 | PM 1.28.24

What's going on, everybody? You are now listening to the

Love Quest 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.

I prophesied as I was commanded, and as I prophesied there was a

thundering noise, and behold, a shaking and trembling and a

rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone, for

those that don't get it right now the body of Christ is coming

together. We're heading into the season of

everything working for our good. And I looked, and behold, there

were sinews upon the bones, and flesh came upon them, and skin

covered them over, but there was no breath or spirit in them.

And God gave him instructions. And then he said, So I

prophesied as he commanded. Say, say I prophesied as he

commanded it. It is that simple.

The Lord has given us stuff to say in this hour and he's

looking for people that will prophecy as he commands.

And what we're going to see is if we prophecy as He commands,

we are going to see what he said we are going to see.

A shut mouth won't get nothing done in this season.

A scared heart ain't going to get nothing done this season.

An excuse making lips ain't going to get nothing done this

season. So I prophesied as he commanded

me, and the breath and spirit came into the bones, and they

lived and stood up upon their feet.

And exceedingly great. So we're not just coming

together, and God's not just working everything together for

our good. But the church is about to get a

backbone. Nah, We're about to stand.

We're about to be courageous. We're about to be bold.

We about to get our fight back, yeah, but I don't know if you

notice, we were disjointed. We were divided, We were broken

down. We had no life in US.

We had no hope in US. And then all of a sudden, God

put a prophet in the land to do one simple thing, speak.

And then God started putting everything back together.

And then he said, well, we got everything back together, but

they have no life in them. Why didn't God just put life in

them? Why did he need a vessel to

speak it in the earth? We're about to see the prophetic

release. And I'm not talking about

independent spirit prophetic. I'm not talking roaming

prophets. I'm talking about rooted,

anointed, certified, stamped. God has they back.

I'm talking about we not just going to give you a picture, we

see we going to get back to, thus says the Lord and we going

to see what the Lord does. But then he gave them the

breath. I just see this picture of God.

He is anything that's needed for us to live and stand.

He is going to provide. Come on, lift your hands for

those that actually came here for something.

I prophecy over you right now and I declare that everything is

beginning to work together for your good.

I declare that God is clicking them bones back where brokenness

was. God is bringing wholeness in

your life. Where there was hopelessness.

God is breathing hope in your life.

Come on, Come on. I speak over your life that this

is a new season. This is a dude.

New day, fresh anointing coming your way.

It's a season of power and prosperity.

Come on, keep them hands up. Nope.

Not feeling bad or sorry for myself.

Why? Because I'm coming out, Not

feeling sorry for myself. Because I'm down.

Why? Because I'm bouncing back.

I'm not feeling sorry because you don't like me or you talking

about me. Why?

Because there's a whole host that's in love with me.

There's a God that sees me. He's affirmed me, He's empowered

me and he loves me. Come on.

My down and out seasons are over.

They're over. They're over.

We have just entered into a holy moment.

It is this generations time for real revival.

Yes. Come on, lift your hands.

Your way. Your way we lift you high.

Your way. Your way, we lift you high.

Yahweh, the I'm I'm so excited that I feel

like God's been uprooting the understandable parts of the

church. Like we've over the last 30-40

fifty years maybe. But for sure, the last 30 not

all the church, but we have made church into this packaged thing.

And I believe over the last few years God has been exposing,

He's been uprooting all that we thought was church.

And I believe that God is restoring the rich fiber, the

rich oil, the firmness, the steadfastness of the church.

Nah, talk about the real church that take God off of their clock

and tell God and pastors what to do and commercialize now.

Now I'm talking about where there's a real hunger and thirst

and desperation for the things of God, a dependency, a leaning

on of God like God. If you don't do it, it won't get

done. God, if you don't give us a

word, we ain't going to open our mouth.

God, if you don't go on this assignment with us, we're not

going talking about reference, the fear of God.

I feel it. I see it.

It's being restored. Is it going to be everybody now?

But I'm telling you, there is a revival for reverence.

We're in a time where God is drawing a line in the sand.

I will say it again, this is not the time to play with God.

We're about to see the world crash.

But the good news? We're about to see the church

bones come back together. Yeah.

The Holy Spirit's job is to convict the world.

No, he's not going to convict through condemnation.

He's going to convict through his believers and his sons and

daughters living such holy, blessed, favored lives when we

shouldn't. And people are going to look at

us and say, Oh my God, what am I missing out on?

See, God doesn't have to be mean to you.

He doesn't have to strike you down.

He doesn't have to beat you over the head with your sin.

All he got to do is show you his love and then the weight of his

love when you look at his love. And you see, Oh my God, I am

tore up, I am filthy, and he's still pursuing me.

When you get the revelation that God is still near and he's still

in you, that's wrath, that that, that's wrath.

When I am so distant from God, when I am the prodigal son,

sleeping in and eating in slop. And I get a revelation.

Wait a minute. In my father's house, they live

in good. What am I out here doing?

This is the part we don't think about.

His walk back home by hisself. There's a moment before he was

able to even hug his father and find out he was forgiven.

Can you imagine that walk? Can you imagine him rehearsing?

Oh my God, Have you ever seen someone you grew up with?

They was healthy, and then you went back home and you saw them

on drugs and you ever had a chance to actually go talk to

them? Can you see in their face when

they see how healthy and blessed you are?

Do you think God needs to strike somebody down and condemn

somebody that already knows the greatest payback is love?

You know what payback is? Is you let me for 40 years sell

crack to people. You let me for 20 years,

prostitutes. You let me drink myself almost

to death. And the day I came to myself, I

found you not mad at me. I didn't find you like this.

I found you like this. If that does not crush you, that

no matter what I've been through, and no matter how many

times I've turned my back on God, and no matter how much I've

delayed and no matter how much I've mistreated people, he's

still like this. His arms never get tired.

This is his posture. This is his posture.

He don't matter how long you take to return his arms, never

come down. You'll never find God like this.

Anytime you can walk away from God for. 30 years and when you

turn around, his posture never changes.

He's on the porch and he see God will never call you to

return for you to turn and see this.

I don't need him to condemn me. I don't need him to strike me

down. All this foolish stuff we tell

the world, Oh, he's about to come judge you because you're

filthy. People going to be surprised.

You know, there's a group of Christians that want people to

get paid back. God's like, I'll never move

through that. I'm trying to find a church

that's going to tell the world, see, we're putting God on the

spot right now. He like, oh, they get it.

I have to move because they're sharing the good news.

They're not misrepresenting me. They're not saying I'm mad.

These are some people with revelation of my love.

So I got to get them to this house because whenever broken

people walk through that tent, they going to see Bernadette.

Welcome. Welcome to Love Quest.

They going to come here full of shame.

They going to come here full of shame.

They going to come here full of shame.

What we going to say We didn't just pray for you, We didn't

just fast for you. But we got a song chess for you.

And they go stand to their feet and get the biggest hug.

We welcome you. And that's all God is saying.

We welcome you. No matter your addiction, we

welcome you. No matter your nasty attitude,

we welcome you. No matter how in prison you've

been, we welcome you. Thank the Lord.

Thank the. Lord, I'm not arrogant.

I just know what we've done to present God an opportunity to

move in the land. He said my people, who are

called by my name, would humble themselves.

It's a culture of fasting and praying.

I was talking to some pastors the other day.

They're like, man, we have a hard time getting people to fast

and pray. I said fasting and praying

should be like a ministry, not an event.

When it's an event, you get to choose it.

When you want to go, I'll go to the next one.

But when it's a ministry, there's a settling in your

spirit. This is what I do.

So there's a looking forward to fasting and praying.

And that's why we're teaching and we're leading and we're

doing videos and we're we're we're we're here every night.

So, God, we've built a house for you and we desperately want you

to live here, not visit. Ain't no need for an invitation.

When it's his house, he's inviting us in.

And when we walk out those doors and Laura see her.

All right, I'll see you guys. He goes with us.

Just lift our hands one more time.

Only way I can describe this moment is holy.

I will not miss God. He's not after your religious

repetition. He's not after your tithe and

offering for mere religious sake.

Every time you put finances in the bucket, it should represent

more of you giving your heart away to him.

The transactional relationships got to end.

We're entering into a season of covenant, and the world will see

the father and his sons and daughters walk closer than ever

before. You can be seated in the

presence of the Lord. OK, Sir.

Come on, just say I'm ready. It's time for us to take

responsibility for some of the activity that's happening in the

world. We've been given a

responsibility to go make disciples.

Show you a video in a second. And different people can see it

different ways. But the way I see it is a a

World of Darkness that can't quite find the light.

Because I will tell you as a church this see if we're a body

like when your leg hurts, you don't just be like my leg hurt,

but I'm good like my leg hurt I did.

So we can't just look at old love quest is or my walk with

Christ is. If that was the case, Jesus had

no reason to come and save us 'cause he could have been like,

I'm good. But there's a reason why he says

to let your light shine and our light shining has more to do

than coming to church, where everybody's shining.

Don't need no light around here. Like trying to come to church

and shine is like using your phone light outside at 1:00 PM.

But what we've done is we've prided ourselves, we've done the

gathering of the Saints, but we have not done the world part

well. We've invited to church, but we

have not extended the church outside of the building.

And what I find, I see. This is what I feel a mature

love does. Jesus took responsibility for us

being lost and I talked to a few people.

Jesus took responsibility for us being lost.

He did not say that's their problem.

He saw us lost and said that's my problem.

Because they're incapable of solving it.

And if I don't go and show them the way, they'll never find

their way. So if you're looking at the

trouble the world is in, you have to take part of the

responsibility. It's no different than me going

to a Safari and for whatever reason there's guides around.

But they are. There are not guides showing me

around. It's like going to a store.

Have you ever went in a store and saw tons of people working

but ain't nobody came and say how you doing?

Can I help you today? I don't even want to buy nothing

now, especially when I go in like this.

Probably don't happen to everybody, but even if I can't

afford it, I like going in bougie stores.

I like to smell bougie. I like to get up in there and

like, see how much money these foolish people is paying on this

stuff. What's so special about this

$500 T-shirt? But often either the person in

the store is sizing me up and saying I can't afford that, they

ain't ready for this, or they assume I don't need help.

But what stops one from walking amongst the loss, being saved

from being lost and be? Totally fine.

With people staying lost when you know how it was to be lost,

it's one answer to that you don't quite get the revelation

of your salvation. We read Paul, but I wonder how

much do we read the letters? Paul sounds like a guy who

couldn't hold. When we look at the apostles,

they couldn't. Hold back their revelation.

So for me, I'm like God's about to move in our lives.

But it's not merely to break us through as much as it is to

break them out. See, when we're thinking of

breakthrough, we're just thinking about things.

We're thinking about dreams. We're thinking about our

business blowing up. We're thinking about

opportunities for us. But have you ever thought that

every breakthrough that God has on his mind, it is to benefit

those you're being sent to? I I'll wake you up a little bit.

I'll wake you. Can can we show on the video?

Can we get out of this? Like, really sombre, deep, holy

moment It's showing the video. No, no, no, no, #1, #1.

Just give you a disclaimer. Wow, That's a great way to

pause. Go all the way back, go back to

the top. Good job, Noel.

Good job, buddy. All right, now, now, first of

all, this video is going to challenge anybody in here that's

sitting in here with a religious mindset.

Now, you might hear a little bit of language, but the language

should not be unfamiliar for you because, like, it's in your

Netflix movies that you watch, right?

It's some of the words you say to people when you're not here,

right? But here's our mindset.

Here's our mindset. Our mindset is you don't talk

like that in a building, but it's OK for it to come out of

the building. You think God's not oh oh oh, we

can't play it, but we can say it.

I mean it's it's not it's not really bad.

This is Elder Roseanne, one of Elder Roseanne's favorite

videos. She she works out to this song.

Amen. The mockery.

The world we live in. Yeah, you feel the Holy Ghost.

He like playing. There you go.

That's him. That's him.

That's the Holy Ghost. That's the Holy Ghost.

This pandemic is way worse than the one we just got out of.

But I love how the enemy tried to magnify that pandemic,

because on both sides of that pandemic, it's been pandemic.

But why this one? We wanted to stop the world.

The real pandemic is is this dishonour, Lack of reverence for

God, the disrespect the disease or the disease or dysfunction

and disconnection from God, the lack of reverence in the land,

the mockery of God in the land. And it may sound like I'm

talking about the world partially, but let's check out

the church, the cheating on God, which Jesus calls an adulterous

nation. Double mindedness, the lack of

power in the Church, the commercializing of the Church,

the division in the Church, the idolization of the world in the

Church, and the lukewarmness of the Church.

The taking call lightly the lack of urgency.

The rebellion, the the the the arrogance with God, the self

entitlement with God, the the disobedience, the delayed

disobedience or the delayed obedience.

The excuses, the need for control, the pride, the ego, the

sexual sins, the addiction, the divorce, the dishonor among

spouses, the fear of man, the fear of lack, the idolizing and

envy of the secular. We've lost our way so the world

cannot find their way. We raise our kids to participate

in the world, depend on the world, but just don't go too

far. We raise them to just know God's

there for you when you stumble. He loves you.

Instead of helping them understand the life response and

responsibility owed to the man who died for us, bled for us,

cried for us, pursued us desperately and relentlessly

Laid his life down for us, shut his mouth for us, and was beat

black and blue for us. Laid his life down for us,

mocked for us, spit on for us, pierced in his side for us,

persecuted for us, lied on for us.

This man was born and had a hit out on him as a baby.

They tried to kill him, carried our burdens.

Do you see from Adam to Jesus and from Jesus to Paul, and from

Paul to PT. And PJ, what God has had to do

to get you back to Him, I want you to understand that there's a

history of moving mountains to get you here today.

Hey, if Jesus did anything differently than what he did,

you and I would not be here. If he if he drank the Cup, if he

said something while he was going from court to court, if

his parents didn't hear from the father and and and and wrapped

him in swaddling clothes and ran and hid him.

Do you understand that Mary and Joseph had to hide him so he

could get to the cross? They tried to kill Jesus

multiple times, but God covered Jesus so he can get to.

You see, we just think about Jesus, but we don't think about

the events that have had to happen for centuries and decades

for you to sit here and get this word in you only to give it to

somebody. Else you think you were just

born and the words just been waiting for you.

Nah. People have died, people have

drowned in seas, people have been martyred, people have been.

Hung on the. Cross just so you have a chance

to get back home. You don't think somebody else

deserved that? Well, if we don't got no more

Mary's and Joseph's. If we don't got no more Paul's

and Peters and John's, who's going to hand the scrolls off to

the next generation? We that busy?

You think you can tithe and pay your way out of sharing the

gospel? No, 80 years from now, if they

take every Bible out of the world, shut down all technology?

Oh, that's not impossible. Have we taught the word enough?

Have we gathered enough? Have we discipled enough?

That those we leave behind can advance the Church because in in

the Book of Acts days and in the in in in in in that time, guess

what? They were scattered due to

persecution and the church multiplied.

What happens if today's church scattered what we saw during

COVID? The church was shut down.

We didn't multiply the church. We actually shut down churches.

A lot of churches didn't make it out of the pandemic.

That's not the book of Acts. That's not in them days.

You persecuted the church. You put their leaders in prison.

The church grew at every moment. You tried to shut us down.

I'm talking about we're called to those prison moments where

OK, and those fiery furnace moments and like, no, no, no,

I'm not going to compromise. And God says, oh, let me get in

that fiery furnace with you. Oh, let me get oh, you going to

go in the lion's den for me. Oh, you going to open the

windows wide open, Daniel, so they can see you praying when

they told you not to. But where's that church?

We so we so secretive and we trying to put our message in a

fortune cookie. We just trying to tuck it and

make well, if you open the cookie then you'll get the

message. We get everything tatted on us

except the word. Right.

If you want to grow old with something on your body, the word

never fails. Bugs Bunny going to fail.

I'm telling you, Hallelujah. If I'm going to pay for some

ink, it's going to be something that, hey, if they get rid of

all the Bibles, they going to go into my grave and be like, we

got to get PT. He got all kind of word on his

body. I know where to find the Bible.

What was that cemetery in all truthfulness.

He laid his life down for us, shut his mouth for us, spit on

being pierced, persecuted, mocked, diseased, lied on.

He carried our burdens. He carried our sins.

He stood in your place, and he said you can stand in my place,

and died for you. And then he got up for you.

A king, the Son, the word God in the flesh, caregiver the

intercessor, the lamb, the lion, the warrior, Carpenter, rabbi,

student, servant, friend, master, Lord, son, Jesus.

The blatant truth is, as much as it's not talked about round

these parts, that the rejection of Jesus Christ will cause a

life of eternal separation from God.

If you don't need them now, accept the fact that you don't

ever need them. Stop straddling in the fence.

You either need them or you don't.

The truth of the matter is is there's many people on their way

to hell. Not because Jesus don't love

them, but the church is not out there trying to keep up with the

world, Be like the world. I don't know about you, but I

want my kids to have more in their lives left than a bank

account and a property and all these things we're about to pass

off to our kids and say, look at what God has done.

But the greatest thing that they see that God has done was change

your life. Your kids should inherit

victory. Yeah, their kid.

Your kids should see. Parents that overcome that

triumph. Parents that know how to pray,

parents that know how to believe.

Your kids should see. You fast and pray.

They should inherit the word of God.

They should inherit a lifestyle of faithfulness.

They shouldn't see Mama and Daddy in and out.

I don't feel like it. No.

We are sacrificing for the next. Generation I will not be a part

of a generation that God has to get rid of.

So the next. Generation can enter the

promised land. I'm going in the promised land.

I'm. I'm, I'm going.

I'm going in the promised land. Hey, give somebody a high five.

Say I'm going. You not going in without me.

You not going in the promised land Without me.

I'm going in the promised land. So, quick review.

I I urge you this week to listen to this morning's message.

You say yes, please. Right.

You have to. Come on.

I need my hand held up here. Please.

No. Yeah, I need not.

I'm not going to use it right now, but I just feel like

something. I'm going to get fired up and I

just need to listen. Listen.

Exodus 15 was just this beautiful exhortation of how God

brought the children to Israel through the Red Sea.

But it was all that to say, man, have God brought anybody out of

anything? Has God brought anybody?

Through anything. Come on.

Can we just take 30 seconds and just give God some praise for

what he's done? Lord, we bless you.

Lord, we thank you. You brought me from a mighty

long way. We bless your name, Lord God.

Hallelujah. I'm singing my heart out to God.

What a victory, he pitched horse and rider into the sea.

God is my strength. God is my song.

And yes, God is my salvation. This is the kind of God I have

and I'm telling the world. And we went through Exodus and

he was the strong declarations. And it talked about how the

enemy set out to destroy you. The enemy set out to destroy.

They were pursuing the children of Israel.

And they're like, we are not going to let them get away.

What were we thinking? No, no, no, no.

What? What they don't understand is

they had to let them go. What your enemies and your

bondage don't know is they have to let you go.

And when it's time for you to be let go, it's time to let you go.

Right. But there's there's a moment.

Where God will use. If God didn't release Pharaoh to

chase them, I don't know if they would have made it across.

So God will let your past haunt you so you can keep running.

I'm running from depression. I'm running from my old

boyfriend. I'm running from my addiction.

No more change, no more shame, no more property.

I'm running Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

And he said, he pursued, And he said, But, God, you blew with

all your might, and the sea covered them.

They sank like a lead wage into the majestic waters.

I. Want you to understand.

I want you to understand. I want you to understand.

That's your bondage. There's been when it comes to

your bondage, this is what your bondage.

It has to look like. You've covered it.

God's covered you while you stayed bound.

I want you to understand what this scripture says.

There is a once and for all moments where you, your, your,

your, your bondage, your chains. Right.

There was a level of freedom where although you have been

unshackled, you still can hear chains on your ankles.

Right, right. See, this is the difference.

There's levels to bondage. You know now you're free, but

while you're running. You still got memories of your

bondage. You're still hearing your past.

You're still being persecuted. And taunted by the sounds of

your handcuffs, you ain't even bound no more.

But there's a residue of bondage God's coming for the residue of

your bondage. God's coming for the God.

God is coming for the eggs that your bondage left behind.

If I'm going to be bound in the future, it's going to be some

new bondage. Yeah, that devil ain't going to

get me with the same tricks no more tricks are for kids.

And there's this question. Who is like the Lord?

Come on, have a seat. Have a seat.

Have a seat. His rescue of you should compel

reverence from you. I just want to read a few of

these little Nookies. His rescue of you should compel

reverence from you. His rescue of you.

If you really know you've been rescued, right?

Right. I can't imagine being in a in a

house that's burning with fire. And I'm like, I guess this is my

day. I find a little corner.

I'm not even trying to get out. I'm just trying not to get

burned. I'm not trying to get out.

I just try not to get burned. And then you close your eyes and

you just say, man, if I wake up out of here, Amen.

And all of a sudden you surrender to your bondage and in

the in the surrender you all of a sudden find yourself getting

carried out and you wake up alive.

I can't imagine being that person and wake up and be like,

that's dope. Thank you, man.

I got it. Well, I still got time to get to

work. Let me call my cousin.

I got to get to work. But that's hecka dope.

You guys keep on being firefighters.

Everything is shut down. I'm, I'm, I'm celebrating the

fire. I might jump on them.

I am thankful. I'm like the one leopard that

came back. There, there's there's nine of

them that didn't get a revelation.

See, Revelation causes you to go back.

See, I'm not going to be like the other lepers because when I

think of the goodness of God. This rescue of you should compel

reference from you. Please listen to this morning

and I want you to hear what I'm saying.

You can love God but not fear God, and I will tell every

person in here. If you're going through

something right now, don't look at where you are.

I want you to glimpse at how you got there.

I guarantee you I can point to a lack of fear of God.

You've done it your way, and now you're here and you want help.

But before you can receive help, you have to acknowledge the door

you opened, because in order to get help, you got to shut the

door. So we love God the best we know

how, but we can only love God as deep as our revelation of his

love for us is, He says. I pray that you be rooted and.

Grounded and founded in love so that you may know the depths, he

says. In order to know the depths, the

width, the height and the length of His love, you must be rooted

in love. Which means you cannot waver.

I'm sitting on how long? It's 2008.

How long is that from now? 2007.

I'm sitting on. I'm sitting on 7. 2007, huh?

How many years is that? I'm sitting on 17 years of

revelation. I don't get here until I made a

decision in 2007 to get rooted in love.

I grew up in church. Being in church don't get you

rooted in love. Listen, And being rooted in

church don't get you rooted in His love.

You can be. Rooted in service and not rooted

in love. It's a whole lot of mean,

faithful people. Whole lot of grouchy parking lot

attendees. Not you, Deacon Rodger.

Not you though. You one of the best best parking

lot attendants. But rooted in love.

And as I get rooted and not offended, offense always comes

for roots. So, so many people get root.

You go from rooted in love to rooted in offense.

And whenever you rooted in offense, you are prime real

estate for perception. I mean misperception and and and

understand I'm still learning about God's love.

My marriage is an opportunity to understand God's love serving

this church. We really living a life on the

love quest. And then as I get deeper in His

love, he's able to share more of his heart and his mysteries with

me because I get him. That's why I can hear the word

wrath and see he's pointing to His love, not his condemnation.

That comes from knowing his love and understanding that ain't my

God. He's not out to be mean.

He's not out to condemn you and shame you.

You're free from condemnation. You're free from shame.

So. So when you when you're rooted

in love, you even read the word different.

You you understand God's servants different, you have

patience and kindness. So I don't get offended because

I understand God is working out things and others as he had to

work them out in me. See, being rooted in love solves

a lot of issues in our lives. So.

So instead of trying to, you know Jasmine getting rooted in

her love for Troy, I guarantee you until she got rooted in

Jesus, they had some struggles. Because you can't get rooted in

family and not rooted in the one that gave you family, right?

But the day that I said, God, I'm putting you first, not my

money, not my wife, not my children, then.

Everything cuz Chief cornerstone, if he's my my my

wife can't be my chief cornerstone.

My job can't be my chief cornerstone.

So the day we acknowledge the reason why things have went

wrong is because I've had the wrong chief cornerstone.

That you can't get your house back in order till you put

Christ back in order. Come on.

I can. Here's a here's a Wisdom session

in three In three seconds, get Christ back where he belongs in

your life. Everything else will.

Alive can love God, but now fear God and he talks about it.

He talks about it. He says, Man, y'all gonna come

to me talking about what y'all did and how y'all serve me and

how we casted out demons. I'll be like for who I never

knew you. I love that.

I I love how he said. The the what?

What I just corrected you on was us knowing each other.

That's great. You did everything in my name,

but you didn't know my name. He's like, great.

You got all the accolades and you gave me credit.

But giving God credit, it doesn't mean you give him glory.

It doesn't mean he has your heart.

It doesn't mean he has your decisions.

It doesn't mean he has your love.

It doesn't mean he has your ego. It doesn't mean that.

It doesn't mean he has your fear.

So, So he's like you gonna get to the end and then try to.

Give me glory. No.

When you get to heaven, that ain't time to get to know me.

Hey, here, here, here it is. Here's the blessing of being in

the land of the living. We get to get to know him.

Like we ain't gonna have to get to know him the privilege of

being on this side. And getting to know him on earth

as it is in heaven. But we will never know him in

the fullness. There's things we we're not.

Going to read the Bible when we get there, we're not going.

There's stuff we get to do. We get to do heavenly things on

earth instead of read the word. We hanging out with the word

instead of having a worship set. We got to worship life.

We have no worship non-stop. If worship get on your nerves

now. Ain't nowhere to go, Ain't no

you can't turn it down. Ain't no volume control in

heaven. Go, go, go, go, go, he says.

He says so. Can't you see?

Now is the time to respond. Now is the time to respond.

Now is the time to respond. Now is the time to respond.

Now is the time to respond to His favor.

Let me, let me, let me. Let me get you some new Let the

fruit of our surrendered lives be the evidence he's alive and

the motivation needed to respond.

Let the let the the fruit of our surrendered lives.

Let's see us. Let's see.

Let people see we're surrendered.

See Romans 2 talks about the kindness of God.

Should bring you to repentance. So if you aren't living in a

posture of repentance, it speaks to not your bad person.

You just don't got revelation of his kindness, he said with their

lips. They serve me, but their hearts

are far from me. Second, Timothy tells us about a

a time coming, and I'm here to tell you the time is where

people will be addicted to lust, allergic to God.

They'll make a show of religion but deny the true power.

I'm glad this is a church that walk in true power.

We're not just being religious, but there is power, power,

wonder, working power in the blood of the lamb.

I won't get into this Faith versus versus trust.

I had a little portion there, but I'm not going to get into

that. But I will say this.

Faith without works is dead, but works without love is deader.

I'll say it again for you. So you're dumb and Dumber.

We got dead and deader. Faith without works is dead, but

works without. Love.

He is dead. Or First Corinthians 13.

It don't matter. You move mountains.

It don't matter if you if you're the greatest missionary in the

world. It don't matter if you have

faith to move mountains. Guess what?

If you have not love, he says you're nothing.

I want you to see this. This blew my mind.

Sowing money. We pride ourselves.

We sow. And not just money.

We saw our talents. Oh, I'm on the worship team.

Oh, I do this at my church and we have a parade on how much we

serve. But here you.

Here you go. You ready?

You can sow. But what is sowing?

But only obedience. What?

What? What?

What? What is it?

That I sow my time, my treasure, and my talent, but not where God

tells me to, right? Right.

We're good for you, you know? You know when you tell your kids

to do something and they do their version of it, and then

what they do is they say, but I took the trash out.

No, no, no, no. I said take the trash out to the

trash bin. Not out the house remix.

No, no, no, no. God said go all the way, not

some of the way God told him Kill everything, he said.

But God, I I did. I just kept a few little things.

I just, I just kept. I just kept my stuffed teddy

bear, right? God said get rid of that

relationship. But I just kept their phone

number, just in case, you know what I mean?

God said put the cigarettes down.

And you, you, you, you told yourself, man, I smoked a pack a

day. Now, God, I'm down to one If he

if he told you to get rid of the pack, he's He's empowered you to

be free from it. But you Are you ready?

This is how God is. God did not empower you to put

down part of the pack. So there's no pat on the back

for half of the pack. The anointing to walk away from

the pack is to put the whole pack.

Down. Not put half of the pack down

with the pack, but keep 6 cigarettes in the back.

You know what I'm saying? Like God can't count.

He says if you want to be perfect, if you want to be safe,

go, go. Go, go.

Sell your possessions, give them to the poor and you will have

treasure in heaven. Then come follow me.

We never heard a buddy after that.

That boy picked this pack of cigarettes up and was like, you

know, I'm not doing all that, but but here we go.

Here's our here. Here's the orphan spirit he

heard. Follow me and I'll be poor.

You ready? He heard the word poor.

And for him he imagined himself being poor versus understanding.

God says sow your riches into the poor.

Here it is and you are going to get treasure in heaven, meaning

stock. You.

You ready? Are Are you ready?

When I get to heaven, I don't need treasures in heaven.

Ephesians 1/3 says that God's giving me everything I need in

heavenly places. God said here sow your seed and

we going to put it up in spiritual form in heavenly bank

accounts. This is all a trust test and

because he idolized his wealth he heard poverty.

He heard I can't be like them, so I can't take that chance.

Not knowing that God was trying to flip it and reverse it.

God was saying, let me hold something, let me hold

something, sell it and sew it and watch what I do.

Following Christ does not ever mean.

Give it all up and don't get nothing in return.

God knows we got things to do down here.

Increase is always on his mind. John 1010 tells us that and many

give and it shall be given. Press down.

Here's the crazy part. You ready?

You ready? Are you ready?

Are you ready? Are you ready?

The rich ruler didn't have give, and it shall be given, pressed

down, shaken together, running over.

He didn't have written yet. My God shall supply all of my

needs according to his riches in glory.

He didn't have yet seek me first, and my Kingdom, and all

these things shall be added unto you.

He was just. Caught on the spot?

Sell it and sew it. We got his story, We got Paul's

story, We got Abraham's story. What's our excuse?

We got too much evidence he going to provide.

So what you holding back for? What you afraid to put down on

the altar, right. Hey, man, we can we can pull

that. We can Google Now God's

increase. We can Google.

What happens if I sow into the Kingdom of God?

What's that scripture? What's that scripture?

Sow. You just type in sow sow.

Though they didn't have, I'm sorry, excuse.

So who much is given? So if God asks you to do

something right now, he don't mind you saying hold up real

quick. Hold up, hold up, hold up.

What was that message the other day?

Hey, what was that word? CC from the other day?

CC. Girl.

Oh my God. DT.

What did he say? God, girl.

Come on, hurry up. Hurry up CC.

Where you at CC? Then you get a text back with a

screenshot of a note, and you get to go to IG, see something

posted to remind you they didn't have no reminder this brother

disappeared. He's out, right?

If we don't see Troy, somebody don't Troy.

I know PT because that stood you up the other day and said sell

everything where you go. PT didn't mean it like that.

Brother, meet me for coffee and we going to break it down.

Or maybe you should talk to PT and see what he meant.

We got way too much right. If he by the time this brother

got somewhere and by the time Jesus got to the other side of

the sea to get back to Homie, that's too much.

If Troy go to Saskatchewan offended man, we hop on the

airplane. We FaceTime man.

I'm sorry Troy, understand there was so much that got.

In the way. Of people being able to hear

from God again, Who am I? That you would give me this for

my time to walk with you? Who am I that you would give me

an air conditioned or a heater conditioned place in my time of

serving? You and I don't got to walk

around and kick dust around and sit on a Hard Rock while I'm

sitting in this linen hot suit with a beard.

Who who am I? And I get to sit in a car and

just pop on a message while I'm driving.

Not a donkey. And this hearing all kind of

stupid stuff. You know what I'm saying?

If somebody say crucify him, man, I'll put on them earphones.

Noise cancellation ain't got. I'm not walking through all the

persecution like this. Who am I that you would look in

eternity and say I'm going to put Annabeth in this

dispensation of time? Pretty sure if God saw it fit

for me to be fooling with Pharaoh back in the day, he

would have anointed me to fool with Pharaoh.

I'm glad I ain't had the fool with Pharaoh.

I got to deal with some hard hearts.

But man, come on. God, I got a stuttering issue

and you asking. My assignment is to talk a few

new things and we'll close out of here.

Where's the disconnect between the worship on our lips and the

worship in our lives? I'll ask y'all again.

I'll ask y'all again. Where's the disconnect between

the worship on our lips and the worship in our lives?

But the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, This is the

Lord in this hour right now, where are you?

I doubt if God didn't know where he was, but God's for some

reason needed him to know where he was.

God needed him to awaken to the fact that he was separated from

him. Sometimes we don't even realize

how separated we are because we showed up to church Sunday.

I don't know about you, but I've come to church many a times.

Separated. I've said.

I've sat in church and it ain't all about feeling nothing, but I

for sure felt separated, he says.

Where are you? And I want you to understand, he

said. Where are you, Adam?

Where is the atom I made? So when Adam responds.

He responds out of guilt. And shame.

And God needed him to articulate.

That's not who I made. What have you let in your soul

that got you separated? Or let me say, running from me?

What has got it in your soul that has gotten you hiding from

me? He didn't say Adam, where's the

Adam? You, You know, everybody has

versions of themselves. Here's a question for you.

Are you the version God made you?

Are you the version your pain made you?

Or. Are you the version that your

fear made you? Or are you the version that your

culture made you? Are you the version that your

doubt made you? Or are you the version that your

comparison made you? God in this hour is saying,

Where are you? We got to get out of the posture

of I wrote it this way. Don't cry, you owe me.

Cry holy. Stop looking to God for him to

give you something. Cry holy.

So, obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way

of life that's shaped by God's life, a life energetic,

emblazing with holiness. God said I am holy, you be holy.

And we'll get to this over the next couple weeks about holiness

and righteousness. No, it's not a collar.

It's not a long dress. It's not a lack of make up.

It's not not listening to secular music.

It's it's no, no, no, no. Holy is our nature, not our

performance. You call out to God for help,

and He what helps, He's a. Good father that way.

But don't forget, do not forget, he's also a responsible father

and won't let you get by with sloppy living.

This is what 2024 is. He's getting you out of sloppy

living. He's calling you to stand up and

walk straight, have some dignity, have some integrity,

have some God confidence about yourself.

I'll let you in that sloppy. Living your life is a journey

you must travel with a deep consciousness of God.

It cost God plenty, get you out of that dead end, empty headed

life you grew up in. He paid Christ's sacred blood.

Can I give you Luke one in Revelations 48?

Those two slides where he who is mighty has done great things for

me. He has done great things for me.

Don't you don't just stay right where you are.

For he who is mighty has done great things for me.

One thing I see from people who walk with God and who I see who

has been touched by God in the Bible, is there reference from

God like we play with God too much and holy?

Is His name to be worshipped in His purity, His Majesty and

glory and His mercy is upon generation, generation after

generation, toward those who stand in great awe of God and

fear Him. Wait a minute.

So, so, Elder John, the mercy my grandchildren will experience

will be God's response to my lifestyle of awe.

I know I watched a grandmama and a Mama reference the Lord.

I know. That's why I'm standing here

today, able to talk to you about revering Lord.

His mercy goes toward generation after generation for those who

stand in great awe of God. I I got to show my kids what

fearing God looks like. He has done mighty deeds.

With his powerful arm. He has scattered those who were

proud in the thoughts of their heart.

A lack of reverence for God will have you with a lack of destiny

to find direction. Our entire destiny.

You ready? I didn't say our entire legacy.

The world leaves legacy behind, but destiny has to do with God

design. A lack of reverence for God will

have. You and I.

With a lack of destiny defined direction, which means we will

live a life wandering, never living a lifestyle of efficiency

to where every part of my life is sharp.

That that the that the story that you hear is PT keeps

nailing it. No, no, no, no.

We're not answering a season where oh PT he hot right now.

He's fitting fire with the messages.

Is that supposed to stop? You think that's seasonal?

No. I should be getting.

I should be getting more sharper in hearing God.

I should be more. On fire I should be, I should be

going from glory to glory and how I preach in my

effectiveness. My anointing should get more

potent. My gifts should multiply and

expand. Destiny define direction,

meaning when I reverence God, I stay on the straight and narrow.

Ain't no wavering, no season ready for this.

I will live no season for the rest of my life in lukewarm that

knob turned all the way to hot. Oh, you can't say that everyone

has a lukewarm season. No, I've had lukewarm seasons.

See when you understand that being on fire for God don't

always look like come on, that's not the fire of God.

Fire. God, looks like no matter comes

my way. I ain't giving up.

It is like I've been crushed. But I haven't been.

You know what I'm saying? I've been broken, but I haven't

given up. You get what I'm saying.

I'm in my cave. But I still got to praise.

Put me in prison. I'm still going to praise him.

Put me in the fiery furnace. I'm still going to praise him.

Put me in the lion's den. I'm still going to praise him.

You can't steal my praise, and I'll end with this in the four

living creatures individually having six wings.

We're full of eyes all over and within, underneath their wings

and day and night, night and day.

They never stopped saying come on, be serious, be serious.

Holy you. You see the progression of going

to this reverence we must have because we can't talk about you

being holy before we talking about you fear and God.

Like when you start talking about holy, that's that's like

another, that's a that's a that's another dimension of

conversation. We got to approach holy

conversation with reverence, he says.

They never stopped. Day and night.

They were mindful of God's greatness.

These are. These these, these are beings

that never needed breakthrough. These these are beings that

never needed healing and in their perfection they're still

crying holy. So when all God is saying when I

bring you out, just reference me.

When I show you that I fought for you, that I've covered you,

just don't forget me. That's all I'm asking.

When you when there was no way I made away.

All I'm asking is just don't forget me.

Is that hard to worship? The one that has brought you

out? That have when you was going to

lose your mind you and you see it all the way from the

beginning. Elder John, he breaks my heart

to to hear my father. Over.

And over have to plead with his children like why does a perfect

God need your praise? Why, from generation to

generation is he constantly asking for a?

Heart. That's all.

He doesn't want your stuff. It's just your stuff is the

route to your heart because you put stuff in front of it and God

said OK just so, just sell everything you have because I

just want to get to your heart. You put too much furniture in

front of the door. Why does my father have to beg?

For his children's worship, that is because we don't get what

he's done for us. We should be begging him for his

presence. He's begging us for our

presence. If that don't crush you with

your sinful, nasty self and he's still saying I just want to be

with you, can you just get up early so I can spend a few

moments with you? Can I just be first on your

heart from generation to generation?

He's been begging and he's like, look, I'm about to bring y'all

out of this. Just don't forgive me.

I'm, I'm. I'm about to.

Look, look, look. When you were in that

wilderness, the souls of your sandals.

Never wore out. Look, I I Look, look, let me

tell you something. I was raised by a single Mama.

I don't know how she did it. I don't know how some people

survive off of mere rice and how people survive.

With leaks in their roofs. How people survive sleeping in

their car and they got a job but every day God keeps on waking

them up. How Marriages are still hanging

on by the thread but you still hanging on by thread.

What would happen if you gave him your worship?

Worship has reversal power. Oh, holy, holy, holy.

Mr. Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and is to come and

whenever the living creatures offer glory and honor and

Thanksgiving to him. But look, these are beings that

don't need groceries or bills paid and they're still saying

thank you. The the these, these are beings

who've never been in a hospital and they're still praising him.

Honey, y'all need to y'all need to forget everybody else, man.

I don't. I don't care.

This is a this, this when holy moments happen, he's calling for

your attention, not your service.

These are angels that are back and forth Holy Holy, Holy is the

Lamb. Holy holy because He, He, He

keeps what I what I see is what I see is their worshipping him

not only because of who he is, but they see what He's doing for

us. So.

So he keeps there's enough holies for eternity because he

keeps on doing. Right now he just broke somebody

through. Oh, right now he just healed

somebody. Oh, right now he just got

somebody out of prison. Oh, oh, right now somebody

somewhere in the world just got they hope back oh oh, right now.

So there's enough holies. Because every second of every

moment in the life that we live in, God keeps revealing itself.

Holy Holy in China, Holy in Africa.

Holy in Zimbabwe. Holy in the Philippines.

Holy in Honolulu. Holy in Guatemala.

Holy in yeah, some of y'all don't get it.

Yeah, Some of y'all don't get it.

Holy in my house. Holy in this garage.

Holy in Vancouver. Holy in hope.

Holy in Dawson Creek. Holy in California.

Holy in the United States. Holy in Russia.

Holy, Holy in Japan, man. Holy, holy.

Somebody's in prison and they still have hope with life on

parole. Holy.

Somebody's in the country, little kid is.

Taking care of their little siblings because their parents

have HIV, but somehow they're going to live.

To tell the story of how God brought him through holy, all we

got to do is look around at what he's done for us and it will

cause you to say holy, holy, I'm not worthy God as he blessed

Peter with a boatload of fish. The Bible says Peter dropped on

his face and said I'm undeserving, holy holy.

Holy says who lives forever and ever 24 elders.

They fall prostate before him who is sitting on the throne and

they worship him. What's happening in the presence

of God is worship. The cloud of witnesses are

worshipping, the angels are worshipping.

Worshipping angels don't get dispatched?

I mean worshipping. UN worshipping angels don't get

dispatched, but all angels are worshipping.

So when an Angel is dispatched on my behalf, they show up with

power. They show up fresh.

You got to understand angels are in His presence in heaven and in

our presence on earth. They worship him who lives

forever. You ready?

And they You ready? You ready for this holy part?

They throw down their crowns. They they They cast down their

talent. They cast down their resources.

See, the world puts their crown on.

Look at me. I'm the king.

I'm the goat. Sons and daughters, when they

get revelation, they say, oh Lord, if you don't breathe on

that, I don't want that crown. If, if you don't give me that

gift, if you don't anoint my talent, I don't want to use it.

I don't want to step on this platform another day, Lord,

without you anointing me. I don't want to preach another

word without you anointing me. I don't want to open my mouth

before your children speaking such precious treasure without

you empowering me. They cast their crowns crying

out worthy. Are you our Lord and God to

receive the glory and the honor and dominion where you created

all things? See, this is big talk.

You see how they talk with God. Elder John, it wasn't no God.

Can you just bless me with this new house, the God of all

creation? You created all things, and by

your will they were brought into being and they were created.

You see it in the New Testament, You see it in the old One cry to

another. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of

hosts. The whole earth.

Watch it. I don't need them.

The whole earth. The whole earth.

This is the time, love quest. The whole earth.

The whole earth. Because I don't know about you,

God, but I can't help this world.

I can't help these people without your glory.

I don't want your evidence so I can boast in how cool my

ministry is. But I need your evidence so

people know that you are alive. And I promise, Lord, we'll give

you the glory, the whole earth, your whole temple, your whole

mind, your whole body, your whole soul, your spirit, full of

his glory. And the foundations of the

thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried.

What did it say? 1 cried to another.

The earth shook at the voice of those who cried.

As God moves up on your heart. This isn't a sadness.

This is a reverence that He's restoring in our hearts, that

all the days of the rest of our lives we walk in all reverence

and deep consciousness of His Holiness.

That we're not hiding our bad behaviors from man knowing God

sees what we're doing. There's no secrets with God.

He sees everything. And he says, as they cried, your

shape shook and the house was filled with smoke or his glory.

But I also prophetically can utter that when God's glory

shows up, that smoke also comes with the provisions for the

times when God shows up, he ain't coming to just say, hey,

I'm your father, he comes to say, now let's go, it's time to

go. It's time to go impact the

world. When God comes up on a man, it's

for an assignment. Then he says, whoa, it's me, for

I am undone. Ruin.

We got to get ready Love Quest, because it's this posture that

Second Chronicles tells us. This temple I've chosen.

And I will bless you. It's in my slides, it's in my

slides. I will bless this place almost

leap for joy. Last night when see I was

reading that story. We're reading that passage

because I was like girl you all in my message.

But it also was confirmation. God is trying to tell you love

quest. I have chosen this temple and I

will bless it. I've chosen this place as a

temple for sacrifice, not to flex in the city and sit at

conferences and say, man, we got about sitting at about 5000

members No, no, no, no, no. The testimony would be we cry

holy. The.

Testimony will be we're a city of praise.

The testimony will be though they slay me, yet will I.

This is a House of worship. The reason I chose this house

and I chose this people is this is a House of worship, true

worship, not time to worship Spirit and truth worship.

Jesus take the will worship if I ever shut off the supply of rain

from the skies or order the locusts to eat the crops.

Send a plague on my people and my people.

My God defined people respond by I I need y'all to we we normally

stick on the He says no. I'm blessing this place, so if

my people ever see that there's drought in the land and at that

moment of devastation in the world, my people respond by

humbling themselves, he says. I am so on you that when the

when it's wrong and when it's dark in the world.

I have a people now that are standing in the gap between the

world and me. I'm not just showing up so on

Sundays we can have encounters. I am trying to find a people

that when they see calamity in the world, their response is

faster than praying. Their response is casting their

crowns and they're going to pray and they're going to seek my

presence. They're going to turn their back

on wickedness. I'll be ready for you, I

declare. We are your people.

You are God. Just in this moment, just you

and God. Lord, I am undone.

I untie my pride and I lay it at the altar.

I untie ego and I'll lay it at the altar.

I untie selfishness and I'll lay it at the altar.

I'm done. You can take the table.

Tonight I lay it down. Tonight I lay it down.

When God built temples, they were meant to be model homes.

They were meant to be. Can I help you?

Patterns. The Tabernacle was a pattern.

We enter into His gates with praise.

That's why we start off praising with Thanksgiving and into his

courts with praise just right where you are.

Just lift your hands, and if you're bowed down, you don't

have to just stay bowed down. This is a House of freedom.

This is a House of worship. This is a house where the waters

never run dry. This is why He builds this kind

of worship. This is why He has sent us with

vocalists and musicians that are willing to increase their

stamina. Because when one is getting

weary and their vocal cords hurt, we got another one.

We're relentless at the gates of hell.

The sound never stops. This is why he's raising people

up to preach the gospel in this house.

So when you're faithful over those 10 minutes, you don't

understand you're advancing the Kingdom.

Those 10 minutes is it just might be the last shake to get

the last link off the gates of hell.

You take your 10 minutes serious.

You take your 5 minutes serious. You take doing first time

attendees Siri serious. We hitting hail from the front

to back the north to South, the east and the West.

Heaven SWAT team we coming for you.

We We getting all the captives. We getting our sons.

We getting our daughters back. Yeah, we getting our cousins

back. Lord, our response right now is

humility. If my people who are called by

my name, that's us, shall humble themselves.

That's what we're doing. Pray.

That's what we've been doing. Seeking His presence, that's

what we've been doing. And turning their backs on their

wicked ways. That's what we've been doing.

What does He say? I'll be there.

Ready for you. So.

So. God's not coming.

He's here. Look, this is his posture.

I'll listen from heaven. He yo, he's listening.

He he's listening. He says forget what they're

saying. Guess what we can expect.

Guess what? We can expect that he's about to

restore our land back to health. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not praying and seeking your face for transactional work

purposes. But because you told me I

didn't. I didn't tell me that you was

going to heal my land if I did number 12 and 3:00.

But since you told me that a part of doing 1-2 and Three is

the land being healed, I don't believe he minds us reminding

him that he said that. His response to our response is

that we can expect him to restore 2024.

Second Chronicles 7. Restored our land.

I'll leave you with this. He's listening.

His ears are inclined. Hey, what'd he say?

How long you been waiting for you to hear this?

God says you have my attention. He's like he he he he says it is

in this place you don't have to ask for things because he says

hey, hey, remember what I told you?

If you seek me first and my Kingdom and my ways of doing

things, all the things will be added.

So since you've been pursuing me.

Get ready for addition. Get ready for multiplication.

Get ready, Get ready, Get ready. Oh yeah.

There he is. So you have one more witness in

your pocket. Remember I told you that.

I said if you delight in me, I'll give you the desires of

your heart. Y'all love quest.

Been delighted in me. So guess what?

You can expect Those desires are coming.

Holy are you, Lord? This is a house.

Do it in Anna Bevsky, not mine. Thank you Jesus.

So you're in a unique time guys. We today is Sunday, but it's a

part of the 40 day fasting and praying.

It is a prayer day. So today we've been having a

little longer services for those that don't come to prayer.

Hallelujah, we just going to get it in right now for you.

This week we are having one hour of power Tuesday to Saturday.

Why am I mentioning this? We are getting ready for one of

the most explosive weeks of our lives for our Revival week.

What I'm telling you is your posture right now.

It's moving heaven. Now, if you could take a photo

and understand, this is the posture he's asking you to live.

You ready? Living at his feet is different

than staying at the feet of the cross.

You sit at the feet of resurrected feet.

He's not on the cross. He's on the throne.

OK, you're ready. You're ready.

Now, now, now. When I tell y'all this, when I

tell y'all this, you can't get, like, crazy excited.

You got to stay in this posture, OK?

Because I want you. I want you to.

I want you to. I want you to feel it.

Because our excitement sometime can crush us, which is this is

what this moment is for. It is for worship, not praise.

So the other day, remember the other day we were shouting, I

shouted out Juan Carlos name. Come on, come on, come on, come

on. So Juan Carlos was diagnosed

with four stage cancer in his lung.

And so we were on our way to Toronto and I was like man, we

got to got to stop by the hospital.

And what I'm about to tell you is is like there's a process

taking place but what I understand is the enemy's

relentless. So you got to you got to put

your foot on the enemy's neck for every victory.

And so we go, my wife and I and the elders go with us and we

walk in and this brother is getting news about, you know,

he's dying. There's a couple young ladies

there, praise God. And they they, they pull it on

him for counseling. But God put us there to tag team

with him. And so we were able to be a

witness with him. And then our wives came in

because you can only have four people because they was like, he

had too many visitors, too much love and and and and they're

trying to restore his lungs so he can get chemo.

So he's already have radiation. He needs to get chemo, so he

needs to get oxygen in. But if he keeps on talking and

he just witnessing and I'm like Lord, they bringing the brother

horchado and they bringing the brother soda, I'm like come on

this brother fighting for his life.

Y'all bringing up strawberry soda.

No, no, no. OK, so we're in there and we sit

down and you know we brought some oil.

So we talking to him and we we just casually talking and his

brother's trying to give away studio equipment and stuff and

we have been looking for a nice studio table and no way we was

going to buy this one. But he gave a studio table and

all kind of stuff. It's fire.

He had his son get it and he blessed us, his brother trying

to give in his last days. So I look at him in his eyes

because now it's time I've been casually talking like Jesus with

the woman at the well. Then you get the unction and

it's like, OK, let's go time. So I look at him, I say, Juan

Carlos, what are you believing for?

He said I'm believing to live. I said let's go, He said, Yeah,

whatever, He said. If it's my time to go, I'm at

peace because I know the moment I close my eyes here, I'm going

to open my eyes there. So I'm at peace.

He's in great spirits. So I get some understanding of

what the process is. And he's like, oh, they're

trying to strengthen my lungs so that because if they gave me

chemo right now, I'd be I'd die. So they're giving me six weeks

to restore, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Six weeks to restore

and get get treatment. Six weeks, say six weeks.

From what we heard, I don't know.

Some folks can be, but what? When I got the news, I got the

news. He had a week to live.

Amen. When I showed up, you if you got

a week to live, you ain't eating, drinking.

Torchado and and Tortillas and and and.

What you call it, pupusa you, not you.

If you got a yes, if you got a week to live, you ain't eating,

you know what I'm saying? I'm expecting to walk in and a

brother going to be all on this. Brother's sitting up,

witnessing, giving away studio equipment and planning to get up

out of here. He got six weeks to restore his

lung, he said, his lungs done. So he said.

But I'm believing. I said, well, look, I know God.

You shouted your name out the other night, and I really

believe that God is ready to give his church new testimonies.

I believe that we need your testimony.

Moses is good, like the woman with this.

Your blood is good, But there's a generation that needs to see

that God is saving people. He's healing people.

Your children need their father back.

Your wife needs her husband back.

Yes, you may be at peace, but God is not done.

I said we going to stand in agreement, Sir, and you going to

get out of here. You're not just going to get out

of here, but you going to walk out of here with a testimony.

So we grab that oil. It's beautiful.

You got a ball head just like hey Bry, so we just, I get my

soldiers with me. Full of faith.

No doubt is in the room. No doubt is in the room, I

guess, Quinn said. Finally was in the room because

no doubt was in the room. Hey, man, going out there.

My bad, My bad. My bad.

My bad, my bad. You're not supposed to joke

around with a testimony. Amen.

So I began to pray and everybody began to pray.

The prayer of faith. And we just been we were just

praying over him. What God been saying to us for

months. You see, God gives you words

ahead of time to take wherever you go.

You don't need a new word when you're going somewhere because

God's been giving you everything you need to say.

He sends his word. He goes before us.

So there's been a word waiting for that cancer.

So then he so, so we go to Toronto and we get back and we

leave. See you later, buddy.

Love you. We come back.

I think it was 3 days ago. He had, he had called me and he

said, hey pastor, I said, how are you Juan?

He said Pastor, I'm good. He said how are you?

I said well if you're good, I'm good.

Now, he said Pastor, they're they're sending me home.

No, no, no, no, y'all got to listen to the testimony.

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

They're they're sending me home. I said wow, He says, yeah, he

said. I'm doing so good.

They don't know how, They don't know what's going on.

But I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm getting stronger.

Like ever since you guys left. Ever since love quest.

Ever since Love quest. Left I I've been getting

stronger and everything. He he's like, he's like, I don't

know the numbers but he's like I've been on like 10% oxygen

going through bigger masks. He's down to 3%.

He's down to a smaller mask. Understand with.

All the talking, see, because I know he's been worshipping.

And when you worship the Lord, expand your lungs.

Brother, you just attacked the very thing that's been giving

God worship. Cancer can't stay in these

lungs. I need these lungs for worship.

There's praise in my lungs. Cancer can't stay in here.

I got a Stage 4 praise. And he says.

He says, He says they're telling me there's no, there's no point

for me to stay here. So at this point he's taking up

room because he doesn't need the treatment the same way.

He's like there's going to send a nurse once or twice a week or

something and I'm going to need to do my oxygen at home.

He was like, but but we're not done.

We need to go through the process so we get the papers.

So remember he's he's the point is to get strong enough to fight

the chemo. Hey don't.

Don't let us make it to chemo. Don't.

Don't let us make. Don't let him get strong enough

to go to chemo. I will.

You know I'm supposed to die before chemo and you give me the

chemo. I'm going into chemo with

momentum. So he says yeah.

Pastor, I'll be calling you and I got some more equipment when I

get a chance to go down to the church and find out I got a

base. I got some other stuff, but but

but I'm going home. I'm.

I'm going home. I checked in with a death

threat. Now my survival is threatening

death. Let let me tell you something.

I Let me tell you something. I don't care.

Every day is longer than what was announced.

He was supposed to die. See, you can't be afraid to

praise God in advance and be like, well, what if, Oh my God,

what if? No, no, no, no.

Every day he wakes up. It's a victory.

So #1 Lord, we thank you. Thank you for touching Juan

Carlos's body. We thank you as he is full of

faith and as he is witnessing in the hospital with a mask on his

face. Lord, we thank you that you will

heal him completely. We send the word to Juan

Carlos's house. And Lord, we promise to tell the

world about what you have done in his life.

New testimonies. Long life promised.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not long.

Hanging on to life. Long healthy life.

So, Lord, we thank you for His healing.

And then, Lord, we also call on that same healing power to touch

someone in this room. New testimonies.

We thank you for hearing our prayers.

We thank you for hearing our petitions.

We thank you for receiving our worship.

We thank you for putting a sound in us that is pleasing at your

sight, to send up his wife Gloria's name,

and we thank you for her faithfulness and steadfastness

and her strength. Lord, I even thank you for for

you going into Juan Carlos's house right now.

In touching his body, Lord, I'm just radical enough to When it's

time for chemo, there will be no need for chemo.

Well Lord, we just thank you for the first victory that he

doesn't have to live the rest of his days in the hospital and I

think you continue to restore his lungs.

The Lord we looking for today for him to walk in this place

and stand and worship you without getting tired.

We remember Juan Carlos love is candy.

The Lord give him the self-discipline to fight in the

natural while you do the supernatural.

So we speak to cancer and we put the name of Jesus on you and we

say be gone now, be gone now. Stage 4 Go to stage 3.

Stage 3 go to stage two. Stage 2GO to stage 1.

Stay stage 1. Be gone.

Be gone. Clear.

I shout out clear. Come on, shout out clear.

Thank you, Jesus, Jesus. Name

way we'll close is that the Roseanne gave us the

opportunity, presented us opportunity to give our remnant.

I would like to give our remnant no table.

I want this seed to be given in a posture of undoneness.

Lord, I'm sowing the seed to build a House of worship.

I'm sowing this seed so that one day someone will be healed from

stepping in this house. One day someone will be saved

from stepping in this house. Lord, the seed will build a

House of worship. This seed will build a House of

miracles. So you're going to get your

envelopes. You're going to, you're going

to, you're going to put your seed in it.

You're going to write it down. But on the back, you're going to

write down. I want you to write down on the

back, Fill in the blank. This is a House of blank.

This is a House of miracles. This is a House of and you can

be specific. This is a House of blind eyes

opening. This is a House of the lane

walking. I'm believing that we will have

a wall with canes and hallways with wheelchairs and trophies of

oxygen. Mask and Annabeth will lead us

in this song as we get our offering.

And as you do it's no GOMI leaders can come at the same

time. This is the last thing we're

we're just. We're we're we're.

Ending with giving and the backup worship team is everybody

and Annabeth. If you can't get through the

song then everybody leads. The lyrics will be up on the

screen and then pro presenter faint in the spirit.

Then safe travels back to the island.

May the Lord be with y'all Love quest family, we love you.

Hey, God's bringing them from the north to South, east, and

the West. Hey, I love it.

Love Quest. God through love Quest is

putting folks in dilemmas. Hey, like what?

OK, well, I'm trying to figure out how to get there.

Hearts, Lord, and the posture of repentance.

We resurrender our lives, we resurrender our walks, we

resurrender our covenant, and we declare before we ever expect

someone to come from the world or someone who has backslidden.

Lord, we say right now to you, that's your sons and your

daughters. We are home tonight.

We make a choice to stay home, not just come home.

Tonight. We make a decision to be rooted

in you first, and to be faithful in the call and to be faithful

in the design that you have made for us.

We are a one of one. We are unique.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

We do not need to compare ourselves to anyone.

So tonight we take a stand and we say, Lord, use me however you

please. I am thankful for my portion.

I don't need nobody else's portion.

All I need is the one you have blessed for me.

Yes, I'm satisfied in you. I'm content in you.

I'm abased in you, I am strong in you, I am courageous In you,

you are my strong tower. You are my stronghold.

You are my confidence. My faith is in you.

And as Annabeth said the other night, you are Jesus is my

clarity. Jesus, you are perfect theology.

In all of our days, we will preach the Kingdom and we

declare we are Kingdom citizens and Lord.

As you asked, we say yes, you asked us.

Hey, abide in me so I can abide in you.

Hey, I want you to hear. Don't just hear him saying abide

in him, he said. Abide in me and I abide in you.

Let's do this thing together. I want to be in you, and I want

you to be in me. And I want to walk as one with

you on the earth as me and the Father walked.

So tonight we say, let's do it. You say, Lord, my mouth is your

mouth, my head. It's your head.

My hands or your hands, my feet or your feet.

My heart. It's your heart, my will.

It's your will, Yeah. You and I are intertwined.

We are Co laborers. We walk together.

We are knit together. We are engrafted.

My temple is yours. Holy Spirit, have your way.

Get ready for new levels of glory in your life.

Get ready for new levels of visitation.

Get ready for greater measures of anointing and grace.

We thank you for every giver tonight.

And we thank you, Father. This seed, this seed did this

one tonight on the 21st day of our fasting and praying.

Lord, this seed right here, this is that seed.

We going to call this seed? That seed?

This is that seed. I don't know, but you going to

fill in the blank. But I want you to remember one

day you going to see something soon.

God's going to break something through and you going to

remember, oh, this was that seed.

This was that seed that took the last knuckle off of my promise

of the enemy. This was that seed that dropped

the charges. This was that seed that broke my

addiction. This is that seed.

The Lord. We thank you for putting a seed

in our hand, to call it that seed.

And we'll forever bless you. We'll forever praise you and

bless our fellowship. May our fellowship and our time
