What's going on?
-
Love quest Nation. Thank you for tuning into the
-
Love quest podcast. Get your Bibles ready?
-
Get your notebook, get your coffee, get some water, whatever
-
you need to do and get ready to receive the time.
-
Is right now. Let's go.
-
Right now. God's not necessarily getting
-
the glory out of it. Ma'am, it is.
-
Let me tell you something, let me tell you something.
-
Seek me. What?
-
First and all these things shall be what Atom.
-
So the Devil is a Lie. That if you if you get sleep or
-
if you say no to a couple of appointments, now you ain't
-
going to be able to make it. It is not God's.
-
Will you take everything moving and everything knocking?
-
There comes a point where you gotta, this is why I love being
-
a source, A sower. I have the confidence of A sower
-
because the Bible says, if I so he would forgive, he will give
-
it back pressed down shaken together, running over, he will
-
call somebody, I don't know who I don't care, who, but he will
-
call somebody to give back to me.
-
Right, he says for the sower. If you faint not, you shall
-
reap. The Bible says, as long as the
-
Earth remains seed, what time? What Harvest you notice what it
-
says seed time and harvest. It is a seed, worry Harvest.
-
But I'm not just talking about money.
-
I'm talking about gifts. Talents abilities, anointing
-
assignments, purpose, right? Like I said yesterday, Kayla
-
plays the drums, there's many drummers he has the talent to
-
drum What? He might have the assignment to
-
prophesy. Therefore God puts a gift on his
-
talent and places him in the army of the Lord to prophesy.
-
So what makes him different is when he drum because of the
-
anointing and assignment when he drum demons, get the flame when
-
he drums the prophets get more clarity to Prophesy, when he
-
drums, Darkness gets pushed back.
-
When he drums, you feel like running through a brick wall.
-
There's a whole lot of people that can cook but not everybody
-
have the gift of hospitality you ever been around a grumpy chef?
-
well, I guess if there's if there's a meal but then have you
-
ever had a good meal? But didn't have good service.
-
Talking to somebody, see because you got everybody in here, got
-
gifts. But if you don't know, the
-
assignment, then you prostitute your gift.
-
And what you got to understand this, God is obligated to fund
-
the assignment. Not the gift.
-
I can communicate anywhere. I can teach anywhere I can
-
preach anywhere, but my assignment is not anywhere.
-
I can counsel anybody but my assignment is not the council
-
anybody. So you wonder how when you when
-
you're pouring into some people it really just flows you feel a
-
Grace upon you and then you get with some folks and it feel like
-
you can't think of nothing you can't remember no you don't have
-
nothing to offer. You can't Council everybody you
-
can't help everybody. You can't give money to
-
everybody. Right.
-
You can let me help you. You can't just give out
-
affirmation that. Everybody.
-
Some people don't need affirmation.
-
They need accountability and some of y'all be lying.
-
The people when you say that sound good, when you say, you
-
can sing You be lying. When you eat that meal that
-
somebody swear, they they bought all that food and they took
-
hours to cook. I couldn't wait to have you over
-
to my house and you sitting there eating at Food, Lion,
-
telling them that this is so good.
-
How are you people ever lied and just go ahead and stomach that
-
meal we going to stomach that meal.
-
Stomach that meal and then you tell somebody else, I ain't
-
never eaten at that house again. But there's a person that cooks.
-
Within that person that cooks, there's the chef with the gift
-
of hospitality. There's that person that got The
-
Gift of Gab, you know how to talk.
-
But then there's the person that know how to talk, that has the
-
gift of encouragement. It's just something about, you
-
know, how to encourage people. If encouragement was a gift and
-
everybody would have it. But there's some people that
-
don't even want to try to encourage you.
-
And then there's some people they always see the best in you.
-
Right. They're not lying.
-
They just calling those things. That be not as though they were
-
Right? This is the difference.
-
It's like I might not tell you. Oh, this is so good.
-
I might be like, you got some seasoning.
-
Like, let me help you out. I see what you was trying to do.
-
Right encouragement. Is this man.
-
This got some potential. Right?
-
You just add a little you just add this worship.
-
Team doesn't get any have so far to go, but it doesn't get there
-
because because because you just so they can sing, It's like, but
-
is your spirit right? Is your integrity, right?
-
If you love walk, right? Hey, you could have tried this
-
over here. Nah, that bravado.
-
Don't sound good right there, right?
-
But for some of us will just whatever people give us.
-
We like wow. But God has placed you in some
-
people's life, not to just be merely, they friend.
-
But who's in your life that God's called you to be a cat
-
accountability partner too. Right?
-
We are just loose with our gifts wherever the money is, that's
-
who God is our gifts. And we underestimate sewing time
-
into valuable relationships, right?
-
There's many forms of sewing. And I can get more in my future
-
from an hour with a Divine coffee meeting.
-
Then going to get this quick. 150, 250 350, even 1,000 bucks.
-
Because only reason I'm hustling to go get it.
-
It's because I want this over here so I need to go get this
-
money so I can get this over here and then sometime, I really
-
don't guys like no, I don't need you to get this over here.
-
We gonna get this over here but it's going to be down there.
-
What I need you to get over here is going to be over here today,
-
and I need you to go meet this person over here because with
-
the thing you've been praying for, right?
-
There's some things you've been praying for and there's some
-
things you won't right now and there's some things that ain't
-
going to come till later. And God is all about the long
-
game. God's not about the right now
-
game. He died.
-
So we might be saved. He knows going to take you
-
thirty five years to come to Jesus and then, when you come to
-
Jesus, you just going back side. He knows gonna be another 10
-
years for you to come back, but he died 2,000 years ago.
-
So that two thousand plus years later, guess what?
-
You might have an option to be safe?
-
He playing the long game. When you're in God's hand, when
-
your gifts in God's hands, there is no rush.
-
We won't write that one down. When your gift is in God's
-
hands, there is no rush. Right.
-
And there's decisions. We've all made and we have
-
fruits from rushing. I hate Russian fruit.
-
Not Russian. Okay, don't do not rushing
-
rushing fruits. Hallelujah, rushing fruit is not
-
good. Rushing fruit is Ishmael.
-
That's that baby that God didn't have for you so that you had for
-
you. Right.
-
That that that that and that baby is not just a human that
-
can be an opportunity. I could be a job that can be a
-
boyfriend, I could be a girlfriend and you just was like
-
I'm not waiting on the Lord. That stupid you read the wrong
-
book. You went to the wrong
-
conference. you shut the preacher out that God sent you
-
to tell you to wait and then you went to the preacher who told,
-
you know you got a test drive it, You like see that Pastor?
-
They over there that's a cult. They controlling over there.
-
Well, where's the fruit? Now that same Pastor, I don't
-
see you finding no videos to help you with your situation now
-
right, don't manipulate the word for your benefit.
-
Our gifts. It's go time.
-
It's go time. First Corinthians.
-
A few scriptures. First Corinthians 6:19 it.
-
You got those mics for. So for those who were here, if
-
you got some nuggets that that really stuck out to you, I want
-
you to grab the mic or the mic will come to you and then you
-
will share. So we can catch some of the
-
people. We have one right here and make
-
sure because this is love quest, just say your name because not
-
everyone knows you You guys hear her name?
-
What's her name? Say, hi Lydia.
-
Go right ahead. Now let me let me help you with
-
that shit. What was she just said?
-
She said when God anoints you why you're small?
-
While you seemingly are irrelevant.
-
When God anoints you while you're hidden.
-
You better quickly, renew your mind because he didn't anoint
-
you, because you were small. He anointed you because you were
-
big. And if you quickly, if you do
-
not quickly, re you knew your mind to see who God sees.
-
You will fumble the assignment. Okay, there's some scripture, we
-
read to Matt to go with that yesterday.
-
Who else? Adaline.
-
The scripture is a bee hives. Three verse 17 and says me
-
Christ through your faith actually, dwell settle down
-
abide and make his permanent home in your hearts.
-
And that's the part that stood out to me.
-
That says that he will make his permanent home in your hearts,
-
which means that he always abides there.
-
And I feel like, sometimes we feel like we have to beg God to
-
function was, or we feel like we have to beg his presence to
-
come, but his presence is always abiding in them.
-
Is so good, right? Like he had distant relative,
-
right? Go put that one, scripture
-
backup that I had. Look at you.
-
Flown with me? This is going to flow right into
-
the scripture I had. Say, I'm gifted.
-
Do you not know that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit
-
who lives within you whom you have received, as a gift from
-
God? You are not your own.
-
You were bought with a price purchase with a preciousness and
-
pay full made his own. So then Honor God and bring
-
glory to him in your body. Don't nobody want to hear that
-
right now. You are not your own.
-
That scripture doesn't mean do I got to ask the Lord?
-
Can I get a tattoo? but what this does mean is
-
somebody's home, when you think nobody sees you This is the,
-
this is the beautiful thing about the blood.
-
It doesn't matter what you're saying, is your sin cannot evict
-
the Holy Spirit. So while you were yet sinning
-
guess who's home? The Holy Ghost?
-
But this is the part he gave you the Holy Spirit.
-
As a gift. So forget if you could drum,
-
forget, if you can sing forget, if you got money, forget if you
-
gotta be a beautiful home you own, have you ever thought about
-
the greatest gift that any human can have?
-
And that's the gift of the Holy Spirit.
-
Anybody just say this with me, somebody's home, ain't fooling
-
nobody but myself, the worst manipulation is to manipulate
-
myself. No one in here is getting away
-
with anything. Especially here's the part.
-
Let's go back. You've received him Jesus.
-
Here's the crazy part. Jesus didn't ask to be with you.
-
You pursue him? He found you but he didn't make
-
you receive him. That wouldn't be love.
-
Some of y'all. Like, wait a minute, I got
-
tricked. It, I got tricked.
-
How did I get here? Most of us receive Jesus in a
-
broken place in our life. He put us back together, then we
-
thought we could do it on our own.
-
So how many people in here have ever received Jesus as their
-
lord and savior? Raise your hand very high, look
-
around, look around, look around.
-
As everybody Jerusalem, you, yo, Kevin say you just be playing
-
the games of your shouting, all that you on, will ya.
-
Hallelujah, everybody. Now put your hands down.
-
So let me ask you a question. Why would you receive someone
-
that you do will not interact with?
-
So, here's a reality for you. If you do not follow Jesus, but
-
you receive Jesus, you are religious Can we talk about that
-
today? You are just religious got the
-
nurse that hate religious folks. Why did you answer that to me
-
right now? Why did you receive Jesus?
-
Tell me anybody. Anybody want to?
-
We got, we got 80% in room, trying to figure that out, so
-
that's fine. You fell in love with Jesus.
-
Absolutely. Yeah.
-
Some folks thinking about it right now I'm gonna did we just
-
Revival week so Ima call people out.
-
And I'm going shy. People first introverts first
-
because going introverts first two words.
-
First Okay. He accepted her just as she was.
-
That's why she said, hey my life is not my own.
-
All right, come on. Yes, sir.
-
Nice, nice. So for him, he's like, okay,
-
well, Pharmacy. Uncle again, I'm about to get
-
I'm about to do. I'm about to hang out with his
-
buddy, all right. She received, what's your name?
-
Tosun, did I say that right? Hey man, I'm going to work on
-
that tonight. Because she knew that she would
-
be lost without him. This is the crazy part.
-
How did you know that you would be lost without someone you
-
didn't see. I'm sorry.
-
I ain't trying to mess you up right now.
-
She like okay, come back to me in a minute now.
-
Wait, what is that? Like, you really believe when
-
you die, you go to heaven and be with Jesus and you got any
-
turning you either. We are crazy.
-
Anybody else? Come on, come on, come on.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
Yes, he said she felt like a dead woman walking and then she
-
received Jesus and she experienced life for the first
-
time. Come on, come on.
-
He's a love, like, no other. That's why you received him.
-
But you know what? You know what's crazy, though,
-
is the day, you received them. You didn't really know that.
-
I like that. You ride.
-
Okay. That's not denying your
-
testimony, it's speaking to the reality of his presence.
-
Yes, sir. He said his was like a life
-
insurance policy. Hey, thanks you for keeping it
-
real. That was a lot of people here.
-
now, what So somewhere in your life, it went from life
-
insurance policy to, really being able to pinpoint.
-
Wow, God is really moving in my life.
-
He's yeah. All right.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
Nice nice. So everybody in here that said,
-
Urus you receive Jesus. You so, if you go to a
-
restaurant, And receive a burger.
-
What you going to do? If you go to movie theater and
-
you sit down and watch a movie. What are you doing?
-
You're receiving the content. There's so many things we
-
receive. You receive a new car.
-
What you going to do? You receive a new home.
-
What you going to do? And because you have received
-
eternal life, guess what you should do live it.
-
And if you're not living it, you haven't really received it.
-
So for me tonight, some of you need to turn over to lease.
-
Because you being your own landlord.
-
And the only reason you are, where you are in any type of
-
trouble or whatever, is because you've been trying to drive your
-
own life. Take it from a man who tried to
-
do it. Take it from a man who tried to
-
be married without letting Jesus do his thing in my life.
-
Right. You said if I put a burger in
-
front of you you receive it and you eat it.
-
Guess what? If you receive Jesus he told you
-
already, you should eat his flesh.
-
For those that don't read their Bible but you saved, he really
-
did say that. And in folks wanted to persecute
-
and he's like who you think he is telling me to eat his flesh?
-
Read the word. Chew on the word taste and see
-
that the Lord is good. Ingest digest, meditate on the
-
word become one with him. My word abide in you.
-
Right? If my Burgers abiding, you guess
-
what? We gon see.
-
The result of them Burgers abiding.
-
Write them chips, abiding them, ice cream, sandwich has been
-
abiding. You Can't Hide, right?
-
It's like if you're in a long-distance relationship, but
-
you like, man, I've been working out baby.
-
I can't wait to see you. You go pick her up at the
-
airport. Oh, you've been working out?
-
All right. Now here's the thing.
-
It's no different than when he abides, it's no different than
-
when he has say in your life, you can see it on someone's face
-
who they been abiding with. With someone abides in darkness
-
you can see it. You can only smile so long, you
-
don't fake it so long. You weren't created to Bear
-
Darkness, you're created to bear bear lights.
-
So he says my glory is upon. You guess what?
-
You should be carrying Glory, not depression.
-
Now, stress, not worry. Not fear, not hate.
-
That's not what we call to carry.
-
So if his body is, if the spirit is within you, guess what?
-
He's also bringing you bring brought you to Gift of Life.
-
He's also brought you the gift of living because some of you
-
have the gift of life in you, but you're not living.
-
And he also brought you the gift of longevity.
-
I want to go to Luke 9 16 and then no, let me go exit US. 14x
-
hit us. The people oh yeah.
-
Luke 9 16 16. No I'm sorry.
-
Exodus 14 15. That's what I said.
-
How many people that we have in here tonight?
-
Now do not know. It's no, shame is no, shame is
-
no shame, it's no shame. How many people really don't
-
want to live a lukewarm? Christianity, raise your hand.
-
Like please do not lie in the presence of the Lord.
-
You do not want to live a lukewarm Christianity.
-
Alright, most of us how many people in here?
-
If you were honest? You're like, but I live, a
-
lukewarm Christianity, raise your hand.
-
There's no shame. There is no shame.
-
He went like this. I'm kind of lukewarm.
-
What you lukewarm, buddy. You look warm.
-
That's that's that's what lukewarm is.
-
That's what? Come on.
-
Everybody say that's lukewarm buddy.
-
This is that church. Amen.
-
Now, raise your hand up. Again, you you feel that your
-
walk is lukewarm? Raise your hand?
-
Come on. It's nothing to be ashamed about
-
right now. First, you gotta identify what
-
being on fire is for the Lord, right?
-
Being on fire. For the Lord, doesn't mean you
-
stand on the corner. Preaching the gospel doesn't
-
mean it looks like, PT, it doesn't look mean.
-
It looks like you shout all the time.
-
It doesn't mean you're always in a good mood.
-
What I understand is first of all, Luke being on fire for the
-
Lord starts with obedience. It means I live in obedient
-
life, no matter what. I feel as I crucify the flesh
-
then my spirit becomes a flame. But I can't live my own will and
-
be on fire. Right, you can't get fire
-
without the wood. So, if you don't want to be a
-
sacrifice, then you can't really complain about being lukewarm.
-
Right now, the question for some of you do you hang around on
-
fire people, right? I'm talking to the people raise
-
their hand and says me, I'm pretty lukewarm.
-
Praise God, you go to a church that's on fire.
-
All right, with start with obedience now.
-
I feel like there's some people in here.
-
There's some of you in here. I don't want to let me, listen,
-
let me, let me help you out. It's me, feel a little
-
uncomfortable. but, The Lord gives his leaders eyes to see.
-
So, at bare minimum, the people that come here all the time I
-
see you. The most amazing thing about a
-
church home. And having a Shepherd or having
-
a leader in your life that God sent to you, is that God
-
literally doesn't, it doesn't say he gave to them, he made
-
them to oversee. Does anybody know what?
-
Oversee me, right to oversee? There's things that God allows
-
his leaders to see about the people.
-
He have given them charge over. It is not fair for God to give
-
me and p.j. and L. Errors in other leaders in
-
charge over you without letting us see things about you that you
-
think you walk in here? And don't nobody know nothing
-
you doing here. Can I can I can I just give you
-
a little shepherding? It in sight God makes me care
-
and see if things that I don't care or want to care about.
-
But he shows it to me because I have a responsibility to over C.
-
So, what you don't understand, I'm giving you a little, you
-
know, when I'm walking in the room and hugging and talking,
-
and week after week, you think I'm up here just preaching.
-
I got is giving me first of all, a heart for you because if I
-
don't have a heart for you, I can't have eyes for you.
-
But what you don't understand is you have behavioral patterns And
-
any good shepherd watches, the behavior of the posture, the
-
attitudes. So you see somebody come all the
-
time and then all of a sudden you like you don't think I see
-
you. But I'm like, we're such and
-
such There's times I even know a person's name but I knew your
-
presence. I'm like, what's that one?
-
Girl, she worked. She got the she always word.
-
She be sitting over but on the left side of the aisle that's
-
per Rica. And I'm like somebody, pray for
-
her. Listen.
-
What I'm saying, man? I'm not even me, even while I'm
-
up here, right now, you might think Petey you, okay?
-
Get to the point PT? No, I'm listening, and I'm
-
watching, and I'm observing, because the father has something
-
for us tonight and so is my job. To lend his eyes to me, Lynn hit
-
lint and it's my job to give my eyes to him.
-
This is no joke. When you say God my mouth is
-
your mouth. My ears are your ears.
-
My eyes. You want to be on fire if this
-
is his Temple, he wants to use it.
-
All he wants to show you things. So, here's the truth of the
-
matter. There are some of you in here.
-
Here, go. Holy Ghost.
-
I told you back there. There are some of you in here.
-
That you are playing. With your life.
-
And you are playing with people who are depending on you.
-
Alright, this is it don't do the love of God.
-
Corrects the love of God, rebukes the love of God calls,
-
things out, how he sees it, don't think everything. it just
-
giggles and cookies and cream, and You stick around, you're
-
going to see God. Do some things.
-
There's wives depending on you. Right here.
-
Here's what happens. The Lord will cry out in the
-
wilderness. Like John the Baptist for a
-
while and if you have the audacity to keep coming around
-
and not changing, Do not be surprised.
-
If one day he says, son, love you so much.
-
Come here. Work stand up.
-
You playing with fire, all right?
-
Your wife needs you to leave the family.
-
I feel like there's some people in here.
-
And you know who you are. That the altar needs to become
-
your best friend. Because, for some of you, I'm
-
not talking about the ones who raise their hand whose bold
-
enough to. But there's some of you, you are
-
so lukewarm that if the enemy attacks your house right now, it
-
would absolutely crumble because you have been given charge over
-
your wife and your children. And you are leaving your house
-
uncovered distracted. by provision thinking you're loving
-
because you're providing But I don't care how much pressure you
-
have on you to provide? Sometimes you have to see what
-
your family needs more than what they're asking for.
-
That's overseer. That's like, okay, we going to
-
have extended worship. I don't care if you like it or
-
not, you need it. You know how Mama used to do
-
you? I don't care boy, if you don't
-
like these lima beans you about to eat these lima beans.
-
Because they good for you, say good for you.
-
What if a parent every time you was like, nah, I don't like
-
this. Okay, baby here going, snicker.
-
Now, you going to eat this bread while I want some ice cream?
-
Well you ain't getting up mama. I don't know about your parents,
-
but I wouldn't get enough from the table and then let me take
-
too long. My mama.
-
I'm I'm, I'm one my mama, get putting a table spoon in my
-
mouth. He did how big a tablespoon is
-
he like boy you eating in this year attitude?
-
She just like my head. Just going back, just mashed
-
potatoes. All of them.
-
What I'm sensing is in a little bit, we're going to we're going
-
to pray for some people, but I think over this next little bit,
-
God is going to give some people an opportunity to here.
-
And repent. Why?
-
Because it's go time. Anytime God faces when he puts
-
you when he puts your problem in front of you and say, you going
-
to listen. You've been waiting too long.
-
It's time now. It's a like like you think it's
-
a game until you on your hospital bed?
-
You think it's a game until your kid, your child get burned, or
-
hit my car or or your wife is dead.
-
He got cancer. You think it's a game until
-
something hits your household. And it's and it's listen.
-
Listen, listen, let me help some people do not think I'm talking
-
about you unless I'm talking about you.
-
Because some folks would think because I know certain things
-
I'm up here, none of that is think that don't let Church
-
hurt. Do know, it is so many people
-
that's dealing with your same stuff so don't let the enemy rob
-
you right now and if you don't only one God talking to right
-
now, then guess what? Congratulations.
-
That God still talking to you. So that's one area. our
-
lukewarmness is leaving our homes unguarded Mothers and
-
fathers, if you're in this room, husbands and wives.
-
This is a night where you re New Covenant with the Lord, back in
-
the Baptist Church and I grew up.
-
It was salvation. It was rededication.
-
We going to take it back to the old school and do some
-
rededication tonight? Right here.
-
Hey, no pressure, no pressure. But the Lord is calling his sons
-
and daughters home, he's calling us to repent.
-
And put it in two wives, having to beg their husbands to lead
-
the family the way Christ called us to did.
-
Pastor T, just say that absolutely enough is enough.
-
That women have to be the spiritual leaders of the
-
household. and if you don't like it, I'm going to pray for you.
-
It's cuz I love you. That almost tell you what to do.
-
I won't let you die on my clock. You ain't dying on my clock.
-
You can get an attitude. Oh, you won't.
-
But you ain't die. Oh my God.
-
Clark. Time for your fried to do know
-
he's legal, kill the devil. He gots to go cause tonight is
-
your night open three. You to Chrome for little boys.
-
I can't thanks. Don't do your kids like your
-
daddy. Did you?
-
You too, bro? Don't you do your kids like your
-
dad? If you tonight is the end of,
-
yo, excuses. Tonight is the end of your
-
excuses. I don't know what God that can
-
save your life. No God that can love you, right?
-
No, it's God. I know it.
-
God. No.
-
Oh God. No.
-
Oh God. No.
-
Oh God. That can love your whole life.
-
No, it's God. That can love you know, it God.
-
That can save your life. I know it.
-
God that can love you, right? Guess what.
-
Oh, God, that can love you. I know it.
-
God knows God. He will not leave you to it.
-
He will not leave you there. No matter what you've done, no
-
matter what you've done, he will not leave you today.
-
No matter what you've done, you are the interruption in your
-
bloodline. You are the interruption in your
-
bloodline, you are the interruption in your blood,
-
Jesus, you are the interrupting me, go bloodline.
-
You are the interruption in your blood, Jesus. come, as he
-
promised me, the Hallelujah, thank you.
-
Jesus Hallelujah,
-
we love you. Enough to tell you that the lord
-
loves you. worst thing to do is hide, From the Lord.
-
And I remember the day that the Lord called me 2007 and says
-
son, I cannot go any further and I remember that day, I heard him
-
so clearly and I was like enough said, In June 2007.
-
From that day, forward deciding to cling to The Altar and start
-
running from our call, my purpose, my assignment, my
-
destiny. Today, we're here because of
-
that. One day, making that decision.
-
When you put the Chief Cornerstone in the Chief space
-
of your life, then everything else Falls in place, ladies, you
-
don't got to be thirsty. you don't got a, you don't got you,
-
do not even have to let a man know you single You don't even
-
want to put yourself out there like that.
-
Trust me a man of God will see you.
-
And quite frankly, you don't even want the man that bit the
-
bait of your flirtatiousness. and fellas, if seriously, stop
-
being so easy, Oh, he married. Now he's preaching.
-
Amen. There's a lot of deception going
-
around because the enemy is trying to interrupt purpose.
-
And I know Sakura said Hips, Don't Lie.
-
They do. I'll give you, I'll give you
-
take these three scriptures and in the end we scum pray, Luke 9
-
16 if you had Exodus, 14 15 up, keep that up.
-
But we're going to go to Luke 9 16, Luke 17:21, Second Kings 29.
-
And and first Samuel 10-6 no acts 10:38 was do that.
-
The Lord is in a season where he is enlarging territories.
-
He's extending lives, he's expanding capacities, he's
-
enhancing value and he's empowering all of you.
-
Exodus. 14:15 the Lord said to Moses, why do you cry to me?
-
You see Pharaoh coming? You see life is getting crazy,
-
you see persecution, you see pressure, you see, finances is
-
getting tight. You see the world is going
-
crazy, rather in the United States or Canada.
-
You see schools getting shot up then.
-
They just have a stabbing in Vancouver the other day in a
-
Starbucks. Yeah, it's crazy here to you.
-
See you see life is closing in on you.
-
Tell your family, tell the people of Israel to go.
-
Now, it may have seen them, exciting exciting word that the
-
prophets came in the house and said, it's go time, but here's
-
another way of looking at it. It's go time because the enemy
-
is making ground on you. And if you stay where you are,
-
it's only a matter of time that the Headstart God gave you, and
-
the distance got created between you and your past and your old
-
man. It is about to creep up on you
-
go time isn't just about everything's about to be good.
-
He's telling you, you got to go because the enemy is getting on
-
your heels. And you're about to reap.
-
The fruit of laziness. You're about to reap.
-
The fruit of procrastination about to reap.
-
The fruit of Loess, you're about to reap the fruits of addiction.
-
You're about to reap the fruit. So go time is not just about
-
walking and blessing. Go time means it's time to get
-
out of double mindedness. Make a decision, you enter.
-
Her go time is not about. Just this woohoo is about to get
-
cracking. Nobody ain't gonna get cracking
-
if you don't get going. and once that enemy put that net on top
-
of your head, I don't care how much you cry out to God man.
-
There is either way you slice it.
-
Like Paul and Silas. Their praise broke him out of
-
prison. So either way you slice it, you
-
could think you're willing to pay the cost of your sin, but
-
either way, you're going to have to, you're only going to get out
-
of it the way he was trying to keep you out of it.
-
So he was like, praise me now. You like, man, I ain't got time
-
for all that and then you get put in prison and guess what?
-
He said, praise me now. Now, you want to praise him?
-
This is what I feel. We do not have to suffer from
-
sin. I will tell you this, there's
-
even a grace period to not have to suffer after you have sinned,
-
but the power of sin. It has the power to keep you.
-
It has the power to snare you. So it's something that the food
-
say go forward. Next scripture.
-
No, I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry.
-
Sorry. This is the most important part.
-
Lift up your rod and stretch out your hand.
-
Lift up what? I put in your hand.
-
Not you ready, lift up? What?
-
I put in your hand, not what you got hired for.
-
And some people will put their careers over their gifts, their
-
put their assignment over to gifts.
-
And, what did he say? You gonna get out of this
-
trouble by stretching out what I put in your hand next Passage.
-
Hallelujah. And taking the Five Loaves and
-
two fish. These are is about 15,000 people
-
here. How many people are said, he's
-
our families that are hungry. This brother got to fish, he
-
found two fish and Five Loaves in a young boy could have said
-
no, my Mama gave me this lunch. I am not sharing this.
-
Get away from me, but what happened?
-
and when the little boy, put his gift in the hands of Jesus, Your
-
gift has multiplication power. It if you put it in Jesus hands
-
taking the Five Loaves and the two fish.
-
He looked up to heaven and praising.
-
I, what was he doing? Praising God with his gift.
-
Gave thanks and asked him to bless them.
-
And we know they had they had way more.
-
They left with baskets. The people left full and the
-
disciples left with abundance and it started with putting what
-
they had in the hands of Jesus. Can I help you?
-
Please go to work. But when your job when you don't
-
have time to exercise your gifts because of your job, you're
-
working too much. You need to learn how to do
-
both. Well, God's put in you is not
-
meant to be put on the Shelf so you can make money.
-
Next passage, this is a hard topic.
-
Elder junk is people. You don't talk about people
-
money man. But that lets you know how much
-
it got us. I don't know about you but when
-
the Lord tell me brother you ain't got to work that hard
-
Toto. How do you ain't got to say that
-
again. Jesus, the say less say laissez
-
Les. Hallelujah.
-
How many hours you need me to take off?
-
Lord Jesus. Well, I'm finding all the
-
scripture seek you first. Hallelujah.
-
Yes, Pastor Julia. You see this connection, right?
-
God didn't just give you your gifts.
-
Or platform. He also gave you your gifts to
-
get through morning. He also gave you see the best
-
thing you could do when you're hurting this to Seoul.
-
But naturally what we want to do is we want to hide.
-
Complain Grumble. No, no.
-
We, this is where the enemy gets you is, you're going through
-
hard times and if he can get you to stop sewing, you then he got
-
you. If he can get you to stop sewing
-
you. He got you.
-
You don't know how much our family has had to endure, but
-
the thing that got us here is we kept sewing us.
-
Because I'm a help you. There's things that will come up
-
in your life, your job can't help you with.
-
And the people you hang out with, can't help you.
-
Hallelujah. All right you you some people
-
might not want to come to church because they out having fun, but
-
when you when you when you grieve and then you want to come
-
to church and say, pray for you because you hanging out with
-
people that don't pray, but when you need prayer, you come where
-
prayer is, why not? Just be where prayer is all the
-
time? Hallelujah.
-
This is Revival. Where's this, okay?
-
Normal. People go back to verse 20.
-
Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God will come.
-
He replied to them by saying what?
-
We'll talk about gifts the kingdom is in you.
-
The kingdom is in you. So we can't let the kingdom of
-
this world. Stop us because there's a
-
greater Kingdom. Oh, oh we can reach out that
-
skirt. Greater is he hit me?
-
This week the Lord is trying to get things in you.
-
Threw you out of you, the kingdom is in you, the holy
-
spirit is in you. What what?
-
What defeat you will? Why you defeated?
-
You're not defeated because Jesus is not in you and you're
-
not defeated because the kingdom is not right?
-
Demon know this, okay? Right?
-
You're not. You get what I'm saying?
-
When you reject Jesus, you reject victory.
-
Then the church is one, and let me, let me help.
-
You cannot go here, can it? Will you can go to the next
-
scripture? I grew up in a church, right?
-
I grew up in a church. I grew up in a litter superlift.
-
Super Dynamic what you know, what's in the church.
-
There's so much there's so much and I'm not talking about non
-
safe people. There are so many stories in the
-
church. There's pornography in here.
-
There's abuse in here. There's cheating in here.
-
There's a diction in here and then we come in here and got the
-
nerves to stare at the altar. Instead of being broken at it.
-
And you know what? You wonder, why the world call
-
us hypocrites? Every person in here, got
-
something to be at the altar for, but we hold it all
-
together. There's foul mobs in here.
-
Somebody in here, you cuss somebody out this week.
-
Somebody here, you spoke down on your spouse but you come here
-
hugging on other people. How dare you talk down to your
-
spouse and then come in here and say, hey faster tea, Phony.
-
Are you going to honor me more than you?
-
Honor your spouse? How you going to be more patient
-
with another person? Then you are with your spouse,
-
how you open a door for another woman and not open it for your
-
spouse. This is Revival. the church
-
would be so far if we had conversations like this, I'm
-
almost done. I promise.
-
I'm almost done. Elijah said to Elisha asks, what
-
I shall do for you before. I am taken away.
-
Let me read this right here. This a taken away.
-
He said, taken from you. Elijah was a gift to Elijah and
-
whenever someone is a gift to you, they have things in them
-
for you. You see why the enemy tries to
-
pull you away from people and divide you and all that, right?
-
You see why he tries to get you to sit in the Pew and be
-
judgmental and critical and you see that, right?
-
But when he calls you to someone, they have something in
-
you for you. This is a principle that's not
-
talk. Well, talk to Todd often.
-
So there's some people coming to church, especially men you stay
-
so far away from PT, we hug? We def, would you say so far But
-
then you might hang out with the man that you just like y'all
-
your homies because y'all do things together.
-
Y'all can have certain combos together but God didn't send
-
them to you. Bearing gifts, maybe bearing
-
drinks. Maybe bear another women, but he
-
didn't bring them to you with breakthrough when they belly.
-
right in the on when you fail to invest in those relationships in
-
time of trouble, You can only pull help from the place you
-
song. And that's the part.
-
We don't think about, we only think about who could serve us
-
today, but when life goes bad, some of the people you are
-
hanging with can't help you. But especially us men, I hear my
-
wife crying out to women and she like we ain't gonna be messy
-
women in this church, but men can we stop being so prideful?
-
That's Revival when men's foot there he goes down.
-
Right? This is that week.
-
This is that week. Why?
-
Because it's go time. It can't be go time if we can't
-
work time together, right? I want to know, I got I want to
-
know. I got dogs with me.
-
I don't want to, I don't want to go to war with people who if, if
-
we get pressured. I don't want no Peters.
-
We got some Peter's in here. No, I'm not talking about you,
-
I'm calling you up. Not out because I love you.
-
I remember the day doctor could do told me, he said, Son, you
-
ain't all that, you know? I kind of got low like, okay.
-
Okay. But man, I thinking All right.
-
I made that that that So man. We need to repent because our
-
egos and our pride. Pass on a legacy of humility to
-
be able to tell another man, I need you.
-
Oh, I need Elder. John.
-
All right, I there's me. And I, they're just people I
-
need unashamed this year. He said let a double portion of
-
your spirit be upon me. He said Elijah, I need what's on
-
your life. But he said, none of them.
-
I'm not trying to do it. What you did.
-
I'm trying to do double He said, I get Elijah.
-
You did not come in my life, so I can watch what God does in
-
your life and just do the same. I want double portion of your
-
spirit to be upon me. You notice he didn't say, I want
-
to be like you He said, I just want that anointing on your
-
life. He said, you have asked a hard
-
thing. Why is it so hard for
-
impartation to take place? He said, however, men women, if
-
you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you, but
-
if not, it shall not. Be so as they still went on and
-
talked, Behold a chariot of fire and Horses of fire.
-
Parted the two men, two of them, and Elijah went up by a
-
whirlwind into heaven and Elijah, what?
-
He took up also the mantle of Elijah.
-
I remember a long time ago, the lord gave me Revelation about
-
mantles, so when my grandma passed away and I shared at her
-
funeral, I told the family we can cry but which mounts are you
-
picking up? Because man toes aren't are
-
needed in heaven. And this is the week.
-
I don't know about you. I'm good.
-
I'm picking me up some answers. I'm picking up that next
-
dimension of anointing on my life.
-
I will be the best. I am picking it up.
-
I am going to walk forward in the name of Jesus.
-
I will not miss it. What he said is, he said if you
-
see me when I go, right, if you have eyes to see the church,
-
you've been put in, if you had eyes to see the worship, you've
-
been given, if you have eyes to see the word that you've been
-
blessed, so, Sieve. If you have eyes to see, then
-
you will be. You will receive double.
-
But why is it hard? Because not all men, not all
-
women, we see, we're not paying attention, and the enemy comes
-
in our lives to block our vision.
-
So we stay distant, we stay away.
-
We do our own thing. but I believe this week that God is
-
going to work in some men's hearts that are humble enough.
-
To be apart walk something way bigger than you.
-
This is, man. This is women.
-
May we be like, what is the lyrics say may I be like David.
-
Right. Why is David a man?
-
After God's Own Heart? David was humble.
-
But he was strong. He was insecure, but he was
-
humble, he cried out. God, I need thee.
-
He said, Lord, take not your spirit from me.
-
He had a heart of repentance. There's people in here tonight,
-
men and women. Your pride in your ego.
-
I've never heard it this way but I'm a release it this way.
-
Fear is a form of Pride because if you notice, when you follow
-
fear, what you're saying is fear as right?
-
Fear knows best. And have you ever been a person
-
to protect? Your fears.
-
Not Another Day. Not Another Day.
-
The toxicity of Pride toxicity of ego, the toxicity of
-
lukewarmness, I come against our families being attacked.
-
We're little children have to suffer the spirit of Pride and
-
ego in their homes. There's some of you that are
-
stretched between the world and the church and the Lord.
-
I promise you, you're not strong enough.
-
You're not strong enough, you're not strong enough.
-
You're not strong enough. You're not strong enough.
-
Put on Matthew 6. 20 while serving, God and serving Mammon.
-
Who in this place has the humility?
-
To say Jesus. I Need You.
-
I'm sorry. First for I apologize to anybody
-
Lord. I Repent my heart for whatever
-
it is. The Lord says work hard grind.
-
But not to the point where you don't have time for me.
-
Not to the point that what I put in you is dying.
-
There's teachers in here, there's Pastors in here.
-
I see it as people, with pastoral calls in this room and
-
you keep running and you keep denying it.
-
Let's go to verse 19. Do not gather and Heap up and
-
store up for yourselves. Treasures on Earth, that didn't
-
say don't have a savings account where moth and rust and worm
-
consume and Destroy and where thieves break through and still
-
do not pride yourself into storing up.
-
Monetary gain. And somehow that's your
-
security, next scripture. But Gathering Heap up in store
-
for yourselves. Treasures in what?
-
Where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume, and Destroy, and
-
where thieves do not break through and steal for where your
-
treasure is, that is financial. That is your Gifts.
-
That God gave you, that is your time.
-
There will your heart be also. Keep that up there.
-
For where your treasure is. There's your heart and whatever.
-
Got your heart is what you worship.
-
The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your
-
entire body will be full of light.
-
Go to the next next. No one can serve.
-
Two masters. You track him.
-
For either. He will hate the one.
-
And love the other or he will stand by and be devoted to the
-
one and despise and be against the other.
-
Here we go. You cannot serve, God, and
-
Mammon, deceitful riches money, possessions, or whatever. / is
-
trusted in. Therefore I tell you stop being
-
perpetually, uneasy about your life, what you shall eat or what
-
you show drink or about your body?
-
What you shall put on is not life, greater in quality than
-
food and the body far above and more.
-
Excellent than clothing. Look at the birds of the air.
-
They neither sow. Nor reap.
-
Nor gather into barns yet your heavenly father keeps feeding
-
them. Are you not worth much more?
-
And who of You by worrying and being anxious can add one unit
-
of measure to your stature or to the span of your life.
-
And why should you be anxious about clothes, consider the
-
lilies of the field, learn thoroughly how they grow, they
-
neither toil nor spin yet. I tell you, even Solomon in all
-
his facts, And if assistance was not arrayed like one of these.
-
But if God, so clothes the grass of the field which today is
-
alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace?
-
Will he not take care of? You owe us of little faith so do
-
not worry and be anxious saying, what will I eat?
-
What will I wear? How will this happen?
-
How will that happen? I won't have enough.
-
Will I make it? Oh my God.
-
What if we don't have this? What if we don't have that, why
-
we don't have this, why we don't have that.
-
That's what the world does. for the Gentiles wish for crave
-
diligently seek, all these things last first Here we go,
-
verse 33. But seek first, all of his
-
kingdom. And his righteousness.
-
And then, all these things that were worried about will be given
-
you. Besides, this has been my
-
lifelong scripture, And there's something.
-
There's a confidence. They're Rises up in someone that
-
puts God first. For you that are worried.
-
It says, so do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow.
-
For tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own
-
sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
-
This scripture is not saying don't work the war.
-
There's also in the Bible said you don't work, you don't eat
-
You got to work. Make money, but don't let money
-
make you. what we're saying is, It is not God's plan for you to
-
be consumed with the things of this world.
-
Some of you are too worried about status too worried about
-
money too, worried about stuff. And my question to you, aren't
-
you worth more than stuff? Then act like it.
-
God has great things for us. All But not at the expense.
-
Of ignoring him. And seeking him first does not
-
mean, you just come to church. There's a lot of people come to
-
church but don't seek him. Idol worship team, unless you
-
are receiving right now, you can stay right there.
-
You do not have to get up. Just to say, actually you guys
-
all good, just stay right where you at.
-
This revival week has been a little strange for me.
-
But so, so good. Because all over the world,
-
we're talking about Revival is where there's nothing but
-
non-stop music going on. And we're just all spinning
-
around jump in and and we're laid out on carpets and that's
-
what we think Revival is. what I do know is God is wanting to
-
change some hearts and some minds and sometimes Sometimes.
-
You got to get off the playground, you got to sit down
-
and actually have a conversation with the father and that's what
-
this week feels like, is that God is trying to talk to us,
-
because he's trying to get some things in our hearts and out of
-
our hearts. So, for you to think that this
-
week is different, you think it's strange like I do or you
-
think Revival is us just kind of coming in singing forever or You
-
going to watch people spin around on the floor.
-
The Bible says, if the truth sets you free, Your free,
-
indeed. Here's the question who in here
-
is allowing the truth to push out the lies.
-
Are you receiving? Will you respond?
-
Elders. You have anything.
-
Julia. You have.
-
Anything? Is there.
-
Anyone in here that have a question?
-
Yep. How would you spend your entire
-
life in the church? Scary question.
-
I don't think you have to forsake it.
-
I don't think I grew up in church. when I'm so living in
-
right now and what God is, teaching me now, I think.
-
Part of you is conflicted and feeling guilty.
-
For part of you may feel like you're abandoning It's less
-
about the church. I think you feel like Troy.
-
I feel like you're experiencing. It's weird.
-
I don't even think the question. I think the question is Poked on
-
heaven to give you something in a place you're in right now.
-
I feel like, I feel like you're in a place.
-
You already were born into a family.
-
He like wait a minute I don't we y'all ain't my family or y'all
-
don't look like me so throughout your life and history you
-
shared. These things are trying to
-
figure out who is Troy, right? I feel like as you are maturing,
-
there's a part of you that feels like you're being.
-
I don't know if this is reoccurrence of maybe loneliness
-
or orphan or filling not connected, but it's almost like
-
you're growing out of where you've come from and because
-
you're growing out of it, then there's almost this separation
-
anxiety. There's this.
-
Well, if I'm not that then, who am I right?
-
It's almost like man. I am tired of trying to figure
-
out who I am. Right?
-
And I feel like yours you're stepping into a season of life,
-
where you are about to your Walking with God, and your
-
identity is going to be purely who he says you are.
-
Rights not going to be related to being adopted as not going to
-
be related to that history anymore and the sooner you can
-
let go to who you used to be in the sense of God.
-
Protect got. It was like, God protected
-
Moses. I told you it's a while ago and
-
God wrapped you in his basket, he had to preserve you and send
-
you down string. With Danielle came a point where
-
Moses start walking with the Lord.
-
And this identity that God he's trying to shake for whatever the
-
call is on your life. You could only relate to God how
-
he sees you. And so there's this season of
-
Separation, sanctification consecration, that it is painful
-
right now. But in the end boy is going to
-
be so worth it. Right?
-
It's going to be so worth it and so Moses had to be trained in a
-
foreign land. But how God is going to use you,
-
man? You're going to have to endure
-
this, I don't know. The best way I can see if this
-
Awkward season, but who you are becoming is who you truly are.
-
It's who you truly are and you don't have to reject the pass
-
because God is using them. But bro, I tell you what God has
-
for you. You have to only be able to see
-
how he sees you. It can't be, he's gonna use that
-
story but that story doesn't make you who you are.
-
It's something that God used to preserve you.
-
So God is Street. He is re-shaping.
-
You re doing you, renewing? You refreshing you.
-
There's going to be some things that God asks you to do
-
physically. That that you don't think is
-
wild. But there are some things that
-
you physically, if his physical with his fashion.
-
If it's cosmetically, there's things about you that you've
-
allowed, you've grown. You've you've done in the
-
process of trying to find find your identity and the Lord is
-
going to ask you to burn it, cut it get rid of it because there's
-
a what there's a new style that's even about to come.
-
Right. Is going to be a new style about
-
you. I'm talking literally a new
-
style from your hair to your clothes.
-
You about you you're about to. You are about to step into Troy,
-
all right? About to step into Troy.
-
This Troy is confident, this Troy is secure, this truck, this
-
is, this Troy is confident destroys secure.
-
This Troy is intelligent destroy his patient.
-
Yeah, this Troy knows his voice. Yeah, that God is about to put
-
your about to stop searching for Troy, and you're about to start
-
searching for God. And when you find God, you're
-
going to find you. This Troy is a son and not an
-
orphan. About to experience two feet on
-
the ground for the first time. Two feet, ten toes for the first
-
time. Your wife's going to see the
-
change, your children are going to see the change.
-
Bible says man most the Moses came down and his whole
-
countenance you're about to encounter the Lord in a way
-
where your entire continents is going to be changed.
-
And he's not God as making you change certain things style and
-
admit I'm is it ain't trying to mess with your hair bro.
-
But I feel like the Lord he like honestly I'm not even saying
-
thus saith the Lord because I'm not going to put that on you
-
all. I'm telling you, is there some
-
things that God is coming for? Because there are certain things
-
about you that you did for identity purposes.
-
You're about to find your sound. You about to find your style you
-
about to find your man. I'm telling you.
-
There's a confidence. There's a confidence.
-
You've been trying to figure that out.
-
How do I deal with this past? And how do you can't deal with
-
the past? The past has been used by God
-
All you need to do Troy's. Keep going forward, keep
-
pursuing the Lord. There's going to be love that
-
comes your way that you've been hungering for when you receive
-
it this way. The Lord was not allowing
-
certain love or certain people or certain affirmations to come
-
your way because he didn't want that to identify you.
-
He didn't want your confidence in someone else's love.
-
He wants your confidence in his love.
-
Yeah. He's taking the pain out of the
-
memory. You do not need closure.
-
Troy. God is closed it.
-
So we command every remnant. That the spirit of Abandonment
-
has left. And we commend you to take your
-
hands off of Troy's mine. Confusion go.
-
You probably never thought of it this way, man.
-
You probably never thought of it this way and there's some people
-
in this room too, but when you are trying to figure out who you
-
are, there's a form. Of what it.
-
What is it? What is it called?
-
Pam, multiple, not multiple personality, I'm not want to
-
call it. Bipolar is a not so much.
-
It's a something personality it isn't.
-
We're not talking about a disorder right now though.
-
Yeah. Borderline pertinent borderline
-
person is is that when there's multiple personalities that a
-
person should Huh. Yep.
-
So is there a such thing as a multiple personality disorder,
-
something like that? Yeah, right.
-
I'm very careful with the words that I use because Troy far from
-
crazy. But what I am saying is in, this
-
is some of you. You, you put your some of your
-
good at putting on certain performances depending on who
-
you're around, it's called cold switching.
-
That's a spirit specially when you do a good.
-
And you think it's a gift? But you can fit in anywhere.
-
Not because it's the spirit of God is because you're trying to
-
fit in is because you're not confident in who you are.
-
And in the process of searching for yourself, you pick up
-
personalities that are connected to Spirits.
-
In the name of Jesus are breaking off of you.
-
I'll break it off for you. Every Idol.
-
You grew up idolizing. Like, oh man, I could relate to
-
him, he's from where I'm from. Do they need me to sound like
-
this? I'll sound like that.
-
They didn't. They want me to sing?
-
They want me to dance. They won't know.
-
We break that. Now, I will say this.
-
Remember the one time I saw you singing and I was like, buddy.
-
They don't they don't love you. They just did you remember what
-
I told you? Because her brother was on a pie
-
commercial They start one troy to sing about chicken.
-
I want to say this, you're no longer a Slave.
-
To fear, you are a child of God, you do not have to perform for
-
anybody anymore. You do not have to approve that
-
you are or you are not. You do not have to thrive strive
-
for acceptance here at Love quest for sure.
-
We love you Just As You Are We bury every costume that God did
-
not put on you. We bury every mass that God we
-
call forth pure Troy godson we call forth unadulterated Troy
-
right now in the name of Jesus. We push back every lie that has
-
been spoken over your mind, even lies.
-
You've spoken over yourself. Holy Spirit, we ask now that you
-
allow Troy, and you assist joy in seeing who he is clearly.
-
The struggle is over confidence in, who he is strengthened, who
-
he is patients with who he is patients to develop.
-
He is who you says he is. You had some master Julia.
-
Thank you for. And if there is anybody in here,
-
maybe Troy asked that question for some people when they were
-
struggle with their identity on any level, I would ask you to
-
come forward. Because it's go time.
-
You don't have to hide. We're in a time in this world,
-
where the world tells you you could just be, whatever you
-
feel, whatever you think you are, you could just be.
-
That's what Julie are needed up here.
-
Trying to figure out God's talking about gifts and So, who
-
am I with the lights? We're God's taken as we can't
-
afford to not know who we are. Who you are is more important
-
than what you're gifted to do. Can I say that again to you?
-
So you're not up here because you don't know what you're
-
called to do. You're up here because you
-
struggle with understanding Who You Are.
-
This is why it's important to seek the Lord first because he
-
says, if you seek yourself, if you look for yourself first,
-
you'll never find yourself, but if you look for him, you will
-
find both you and he right there.
-
This might seem again an awkward moment when I feel the Father's
-
Heart in this place. There's a sweetness as the Lord
-
rest on his children. It's okay, Jesus cry.
-
It's okay for us to cry. It's okay for us to say God, I
-
want to know who I am. instead of trying to make our fathers
-
pay or instead of still wondering why did that happen to
-
me when I was young I believe our Healing Begins, when we
-
accept who he says, we are I think at this altar, there's
-
some people who need to just forgive for those who maybe
-
didn't love you, how you felt they should have, but God's here
-
to love you. And I promise you, if you just
-
let him in your heart tonight, in a fresh way, in a fresh way,
-
not in your head, but in your heart,
-
There's a question. Lord is asking you right now.
-
Will you walk with me from this place forward?
-
Will you let me love you? I hear the father saying I did
-
not mean. For you to experience that pain
-
as a child. I did not mean for you not to be
-
loved or handled, right? I did not mean for that spouse
-
to hurt you. This is the wrong part of your
-
life to allow the enemy to harden your heart.
-
You are so close. God is about to break you
-
through. This is the wrong time for
-
unforgiveness. This is the wrong time to harden
-
your heart. Hard Hearts will experience
-
delay. If you got to walk all by
-
yourself, you got to make that choice, but I'm going to serve
-
the Lord. And just right where you are.
-
Just begin to open your mouth, it doesn't have to be loud, but
-
just talked to the father and vitamin.
-
In a fresh way, all you men. Man to man, I love you.
-
Can this be the year? Some of you put the anger?
-
Away speed the year, you change your family's narrative in how
-
you relate to your family. Jesus,
-
thank you. Jesus.
-
Thank you. Jesus,
-
choosing Jesus looks like I've been out the boat.
-
This can't be a Mountaintop moment where you just thinking
-
thinking thinking this has to be man.
-
I'm all in on care. What it look like, I'm all in.
-
Let's go. I'm Not Looking Back.
-
So what kind of decisions are you making here at the altar
-
tonight? I'm Not Looking Back.
-
I'm gonna make whatever decisions that I need to make
-
whatever is in me and God's way, I gotta get it out the way.
-
I'm stopped depending on man more than I do God.
-
Make my life in altar. Thank you, Jesus.
-
You stake a few more moments. Elder John when you're ready.
-
It's going to have Elder John to clear some things over you guys.
-
Why you still praying and You.
-

-
remembered on the earth either. You are whole.

-
of God. You carry the glory of God on
-

And how much you are his Joy. You are his Joy.
-
Give more dime to still a cute when he gets hard for your
-
father. He thinks of you and he gets
-
strength. when he sees the condition of the Earth, And the
-
suffering of, man. He remembers your praise.
-
And it strengthens him. He remembers your sacrifice and
-
it reminds them of joy. That was present when he did all
-
of these things you are help to him and an encouragement to him.
-
And he sees your pictures and he sees your faces.
-
Give it about that when his wrath Rises to a point of
-
producing destruction. He sees your faces and turns
-
from wrath and sends Mercy because you are a testimony of
-
his love and his forgiveness. You are you are your children?
-
And yours heart. Since forever.
-
Since you've been in the eyes of them, both were
-
opened, sorry. And when the woman saw that, the
-
no, no, no, no, no. There we go.
-
Then the eyes of them. Both were opened and they knew
-
Knew that they were naked. I feel like it's kind of this
-
week especially tonight like I think right now I feel like
-
bring it down. I feel like This passage was the
-
weaker Revival. I want you to follow me on this.
-
Then the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they
-
were naked. And they sewed fig leaves
-
together and made themselves aprons like girdles.
-
Right. It's kind of like we live our
-
lives. Then we come in church with our
-
fig leaves on we put our fig leaves on and we come in here
-
and put our best behaviors together and we come in here and
-
act like long as nobody else sees us.
-
But we forget that God sees us. We got the audacity to come to
-
his house and hide. If you don't hide from God, the
-
best chance is to stay away from his house. and that would be
-
hard to do because his house is you But the Lord God Called to
-
Adam and said, to him, where are you?
-
This is this this is Revival when the Lord comes to Earth and
-
he looks for his children and they begin a conversation.
-
That is Revival. Because whenever you engage with
-
the Lord change is here, I love it.
-
No matter who. Why'd you let that little thing
-
cause you to hide for me? Here's Adam response.
-
He said I heard the sound of You Walking In The Garden.
-
I was afraid because I was naked.
-
I was afraid, I hit myself because I knew I wasn't right.
-
And so I hid myself. How do we hide ourselves Pride
-
ego work? We find excuses.
-
Not to be around. Those are fig leaves.
-
We're hiding. and he goes and he says, who told you that you must
-
have ate off of one of them Jeep.
-
When I say one of those trees, whatever you'll tree is the Lord
-
saying, can you stop nibbling tonight?
-
I'm almost say it again. Can you stop nibbling tonight?
-
man said, the woman that you gave me, She'll fall God and the
-
Lord God said to the woman. Okay, I ain't fooling with Adam.
-
Let me go to the next. Let me go to the woman.
-
I love how God didn't respond to his excuse.
-
I'll say it again. The Lord's not responding to
-
your excuse. He's responding to your truth.
-
God will respond not to you pointing fingers but he will
-
respond when you say I hid because I did what you told me
-
not to do. But the moment you start making
-
excuses. He like, Lord God said he said
-
no woman said, well the serpent did it he made me do it. and the
-
Lord God said to the serpent because of you What would have
-
happened if Adam and Eve would have repented, I don't know.
-
I'm just, can I use my imagination?
-
They ate from the Tree of knowledge.
-
The ate from the Tree of the knowledge.
-
They didn't eat the from the Tree of sin.
-
They ate from the Tree of the knowledge, what the challenge is
-
knowledge of sin and running from God produces sin.
-
What if they would have repented?
-
What they would have had with what they have produce.
-
Sinners. Oh no.
-
I was just a mad my imagination because they only ate they only
-
became aware. You know, too much all Jesus.
-
You know too much not to follow Jesus.
-
I did say, you know, too much Jesus.
-
You have too much information to not walk with Jesus.
-
What, you know, will kill you. I need Jesus to balance the
-
books. Because I am too aware of how
-
this and how that feels and how that can alleviate alleviate me
-
from pain, or not, it's too much.
-
I know, I need Jesus. And the challenge is when you
-
try to carry this life without him.
-
You fall. Adam and Eve fail, And you will
-
continue to fall. Try to carry your burdens by
-
yourself. Sons, let they daddy carry them.
-
I am so free. Because I've taken his yoke.
-
And that's what this week is about.
-
You are loved. You are saying you've been a
-
firm. You've been approved.
-
You're so powerful. There's stuff inside of you that
-
will blow your mind. You don't need nothing else.
-
To be great. Use what's in you?
-
You have a gift. The word says, God has given us
-
everything to obtain wealth, you have everything you need.
-
I'll give it to Jesus. You are a son of God, you are
-
daughter of the most high. You are loved.
-
You are desired. You don't you don't just Delight
-
in him. He Delights in you.
-
You want attention seek him. You want Comfort walk with him?
-
I really feel like by the time we get to Good Friday, it's
-
going to be a good Friday. See what you got to understand
-
what this week is really all about.
-
Okay? There you smart.
-
God. Normally the way you would spin
-
this week is reflecting this is Palm Sunday.
-
Right this week got very dark very quick, think about what
-
this week represents. Yes, we're on the way since
-
we're on the way to Resurrection Sunday, but to get to
-
Resurrection, we gotta pass the cross.
-
And no wonder. It makes sense.
-
The Lord is saying, come on. Lay it down.
-
You can't get up Sunday if you don't go through the tool.
-
And there's going to be some people show up Sunday.
-
Whoa, we got up in but you didn't get down.
-
I don't want to celebrate Sunday, a phony.
-
I want to celebrate Sunday because I really die to myself,
-
and I can truly say when he got up, I got up because when he
-
died, I died. So what are you willing to put
-
down this week? What are you willing to cut off?
-
What are you really cut down? What are you willing to shift?
-
Are you really celebrating Easter?
-
Dedicate some sins to Jesus, lay some sins down lay some
-
behaviors down. If you really celebrating
-
Easter, Got anything good? You good, our sister, our hands,
-
right? Where we are.
-
I know some folks wondering ready to go home.
-
We don't let you go home for those that are here doing the
-
work man. Thank you, thank you for
-
Searching your heart. Come on say, holy spirit, just
-
for a moment. Just Holy Spirit, search my
-
heart. and while his take a moment and just begin to thank
-
him, there's things he's doing within you that you don't
-
realize he's doing simply because of your obedience Lord,
-
we thank you already love you don't have the saying I'm saying
-
I'm already a chose More than I can.
-
How? John.
-
Thank you that you are eating enough.
-
Thank you g. Give us an opportunity to lay it
-
down. Lay our burdens down, we lay
-
aside that sin that so easily besets us so that we can run
-
this race. That you have already ordained
-
for us, and it's not just a race father.
-
What we got to find out waiting to find out the outcome?
-
But it is a race that guarantees Victory.
-
So we say, thank you and we thank you Father over these next
-
couple of days as we approach. Good Friday that we truly have
-
time to reflect. On the goodness of your love,
-
that we have an opportunity to reflect and not take for granted
-
the sacrifice that it took for us to to walk and true Freedom.
-
The blood that was shed, Jesus this week.
-
We remember you. We remember your love, will
-
remember your sacrifice. Remember your patients with
-
mankind? Remember your obedience Lord?
-
So Lord, we thank you that our debt was paid.
-
My dad was paid and I'm grateful.
-
Thank you that you made a way out of no way.
-
You brought water and rivers into my desert.
-
You straighten my crooked paths. And I say thank you.
-
We say thank you. May we not approach Sunday,
-
Lord. Just celebrating the benefits of
-
the Resurrection. My way, we truly show up Lord
-
with a willingness to carry our cross.
-
