Dec. 25 - Everything Changed: Revealed for Glory

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. For the team that came out

yesterday. Come on.

Amen. And I was so touched yesterday.

I was gonna stay home, get today's message ready and then

immediately I get a text message from Troy.

He's like, look sir. I was like, dang. and I drove

over here and I walked up to it and it's really cool to feel the

team ready. Y'all know what not feel?

The team. Give me back faith.

Yo man, that y'all got to wear Elder John that were you.

Okay? See, every mostly, every person

that was here didn't come to love quest.

Like Faith people. And this is why you got a so

Faith because there's going to be a day where your faith gets

weak, and then they're people that when you was there, when

they was weak, they going to be strong for you, and it's like

this ongoing cycle of strength that happens.

Right. And so it was really cool to

walk up and they give me back what we give them when they're

going through. What nobody can plane in, they

was like, pastor, we gotta you just gonna do your thing and

what's my thing I got to go. Figure it out, I gotta go call

buildings, I got to figure out God.

What are you saying? Are we coming back in the

building? Tomorrow is Christmas, man.

I don't want to cut the capacity because that's souls and I want

to be ready for you to feel your house and what do I do?

And oh man New Year's Eve is coming.

And what about the issue? We can't think about the

insurance right now because the insurance people is having

Christmas right now. You're going to drive yourself,

crazy trying to contact people to come and Russian your

emergency and always somebody else's emergency.

So, instead of focusing on what I can't control a focus on what

I can control, and the team that came in here and cleaned up and

they, the men, they were out there grabbing the polls and

shoveling. And, you know, and make men like

like like ask Day where he was this time last year asked Adam

like ask these men with they ever imagine building God's

house shoveling snow. Just so, somebody might have a

seat at the table, right? Lives are being changed in this

garage. And sometimes I don't know who

I'm talking to but sometimes you don't got time to allow your sad

to paralyze. You It's not about, get the

tent, the tent, what happened? Did it frustrate me?

Am I upset, could I talk to people why we didn't do this,

and what? But, but, but but there's people

preparing to come and be impacted tomorrow and a lot of

time what we call tragedy or or a speed bumps are just

distractions. And if you just push through a

moment of frustration, real legit frustration, you'll find

out that's where Joy is. If you stop trying to control

and change the outcome, it is what it is.

It happened, they left you. They don't want to talk to you

the roof cave in the insurance company.

Got over on you. It is what it is but God is

still on the throne. Let's talk about the churches

and we had the other option. I'm like nah, we're going to

focus. If we going to spend some money

we're going to spend it on New Year's Eve celebration.

That's going to be a lot more. It's going to be elegant and so

we'll have some news for you about New Year's Eve that right

now is here. But we're looking at some other

locations that will better suit our suits and dresses and our

citizens Ball. But I think I got a word to

share on this last Sunday. Of the Year for me, I'm

competitive. So it's like finishing the

season, the last game of the season, I want to finish the

season strong. I want to finish the last

Sunday, strong. Because this isn't just another

day. This is a day that God gave me

life. I don't know about you.

Maybe you just like I can't wait to get this year over.

You may not make it out the year.

There's people right now top that this hooked up to a

life-support in a hospital. There's people who couldn't

celebrate Christmas with their loved ones, but in this moment,

are you understanding that this is the last Sunday of a year?

You will never see. Again, nor will you get back and

what you have to understand? It doesn't matter how you

started. It doesn't matter how you ended

up last week, but what matters is how you end this year.

Right. God is still faithful.

And so let me, let me open up this, this message and let's see

where we go k. Pray for me as I pray for you.

Let's see if it see, if it changed some lives tonight.

Well, I thought I'd go from this this idea and it's titled.

I wish I had yesterday because it was a message going to be

preached yesterday that was going to set up today.

But then we go, and we got, we just gonna blend it together.

Is that cool? They anybody excited to hear the

word? Come on, say I am good ground.

You can sew. The seed of life in my heart and

I promise it will not be a waste of time.

I will produce in Jesus name. I come from the title,

everything changed. Everything changed revealed for

Glory revealed. I don't know about.

I don't know about What kind of plans you have for the day, you

show up? The day you finally step into

who God created you to be, I don't know how your life has

ended up since Jesus came into your life, but this is what I do

understand, no matter what it looks like today.

The moment Jesus came into your life, everything changed, and

how many people know that, not all change is noticeable?

Let me tell you something, if you stop eating fried food

tomorrow by Wednesday, you will you would have lost some

calories and some weight little bit.

You just X Out, eggs out fried food and I know all you.

Are you healthy people is saying, no, that's not true.

Let me finish what I'm saying. You take out the fried food.

For me, if I take out fried food, I'm eliminating chips.

There's a whole lot of snacks, I would not eat and all you

snackers. Fried food is a lot of what you

snack on and you take away some snacks.

Now, listen, I'm no healthy folks will say, but if you eat

this, then you just can't replace that.

And you just gonna get bigger, you don't get more unhealthy.

Alright, you Exile fried food. You Exile sugar.

There are some changes that are going to take place like when we

fast. And we do that first day where

we do, not know food, just all liquids, right?

It's frustrating, but you can't go without food, and change is

not occurring. There's, there's it is much.

Let me, let me tell you. When you go without the food,

you may be frustrating. But there's also benefits taking

place in the frustration. Right.

And what I do understand the day, I got saved the first day.

I got saved. And the day I got baptized, I

did not get out the water with noticeable change.

I still cuss when I after I got baptized, I mean, people still

was just a wet demon when they got out the baptism pool.

Okay, amen, right, right. Some of you been in church, most

deal life. Some of you have pastors as

parents and some of you, but you still Still struggling and still

got some nasty attitude, you still think the same in some

ways, but what I'm trying to, here's the good news, there is

no way that Jesus is in your life and change hasn't happened.

Rather you some change. Don't happen until you actually

renew your mind. There's change.

You got to renew your mind to so you can understand the true

changes that has happened and that's why he say, renew your

mind. So I'm here to tell you, even

those that are hard on, they self even those that have all

these goals and you not satisfied until you complete,

all of them. I'm here to tell you that change

has happened in you. Let me tell you this, the moment

you walked into this church, into the presence of God.

Everything changed, okay? Right now, if I go jump in some

water just like I am. Right.

Wouldn't be smart. But everything would change.

The moment. I jump in the water from what

I'm wearing to what I'm thinking to how my body is responding to

life. If I hop out the water.

I eventually. Will dry off.

And then things will change the day that I jumped into and Jesus

jumped in to me, the day. I received Jesus rather, I

realize they're not everything changed, okay?

And if I continue to stay on this journey with Jesus, it's

only a matter of time that my awareness of my change, catch up

with my change. I'm trying to encourage somebody

in here because you're too hard on yourself and you're looking

for. You're looking for so many.

If you got five goals and you won't celebrate until you finish

the fifth one, instead of learning how to celebrate and be

happy for even the tiniest change.

Some of you should be celebrating, you finally coming

back to church, you finally found a good church.

Do you know how huge it is for over half of y'all to be at

church on a Christmas evening? You can't tell me change and

occurred that, how many people in here was not in church?

Last Christmas, raise your hand. Some of y'all lying last

Christmas. We didn't even have a Christmas

service. So everybody should be raining

in here. All right, here's a here's a

point here. Here here.

I want to before I move on. Is, there's no way you can come

in his presence. And things don't change.

Here's the thing, if I got out of the water, I will eventually

dry off. Although changes occur.

So you can leave this place. You can get out the water.

You can get out of your word. You can stop praying.

You can stop going to church. And eventually.

Guess what happened? You'll dry off.

It doesn't mean that change did not enter your life.

The issue is is you don't know how to stay wet.

You don't know how to keep joy in your life.

Keep peace in your life. Keep you.

You know, mean you you continue to end up in places that dry you

out. And I'm determined that you end

the year with so much momentum that no matter what comes your

way 20:23. Nothing will stop you You are

the purpose of his birth. We make this day all about Jesus

and it is but you cannot talk about Christmas without talking

about. You.

Oh, man. I'm trying to get rid of the

religious spirit where you like? No, it's not about me.

Well, what the heck did he come for?

Why do you keep eliminating yourself out of the Salvation

story? Now didn't come here to play

with y'all? No I don't I don't end games or

years dry K we going to shout before we leave this place.

Okay? Why we gonna shout because it's

Christmas. You know, you you didn't even

hit my point to be here tonight. It's not to talk.

Merely about a boy and a son. I can't talk about Jesus and his

purpose without talking about you because you was his purpose.

You do know. The only reason he even came

into this world was because of you You are the purpose of his

birth. You are the purpose of his life.

You are the purpose of his death and you are the purpose of his

resurrection. You are the purpose of his

existence, he exists because of you and you exist because of

him. This is a beautiful story and

this is what I hope you get for the rest of your life.

The only reason he came is because you needed him and I

needed him. And every aspect of his life.

Was simply for you. In the midst of judgment, there

is the promise and the certainty of the Lord's Deliverance in the

midst of judgment. In the midst of judgment.

There is promise. And the certainty of the Lord's

Deliverance, let me judgment a lot of people when things happen

in the world. He like, oh that's God.

Judging the Earth, okay? Let me tell you.

God, don't have to judge the Earth because sin already has

consequences. you know, when you set your alarm at 2 a.m. for 10

a.m. you don't have to wake up and say go off It's already set.

That's what principles do principles produce a harvest

rather you work it or don't work it.

It produces give and it shall be given.

God don't have to give you nothing else.

He's already said a principal in motion.

So what I'm telling you is when we see the world acting a fool,

it's almost judging itself or its almost reaping, the

consequences of what's already. Eddie been deemed of it for his

actions. For the wages of sin is what

death? Principal God don't got to do

nothing else, your active food, guess what?

You're going to get food Harvest.

But here's the important part in the midst of full Harvest.

There's Glory Harvest. Okay, in the midst of judgment,

there is the promise and the certainty of the Lord's

Deliverance. So no matter how dark it gets in

consequence of sin, there is a promise and a certainty of

Deliverance. I actually really think this

heater can go off because we have torches going on.

Absolutely. There is the promise, and the

certainty of the Lord's deliverance, and there shall be

no Gloom for her who was in anguish, Isaiah prophesied, some

good stuff. He was pointing to a day of

salvation. You better hear you like, well,

wait a minute, won't you talk about the little boy in the

manger? Is Christmas?

if we've been talking about the little boy in the manger and the

story of the manger and save, nobody Because we didn't made

him more about a little boy than a deliverer, right, right.

Let me make sure you hear what I'm telling you.

Jesus saves. Not the story of Jesus.

Come on, come on, come on. Let's get this.

Where you get it, just how many people in heard about the story

of Jesus and it ain't changed. Nobody but it is Jesus.

The person the rich, we got to stop presenting him as a fairy

tale. He is a person.

He is Grace. He is wisdom.

He is truth. He is life.

He is the bread of life. There's the promise of

Deliverance in the midst of all that we're going through.

There is promise and certainty of Deliverance is very important

for where we're about to go. He says they shall there.

Will be shall be no Gloom for her who was in anguish.

And if you are male, you can't be like, oh, that's not my

scripture because he talking about a her.

I'm not her. No, no you if you saved you a

part of her, the bride of Christ. in the former time, the

Lord brought into contempt, the land of zebulun, and the land of

naphtali, but in the latter time, he will make it what

glorious Why is this important because no matter what comes

there is a guarantee of Glory. And I'm not just talking about

when you die and when Jesus returned, no, in your lifetime,

no matter what ke rang can't win.

Blue. There's a promise of Glory.

By the way of the Sea of Galilee, we keep going, the

people who talked and who walked in darkness.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great

light. Those who dwelt in the land of

intense darkness and the shadow of death.

And the shadow of death upon them.

Has the light shine. You O Lord have multiplied.

The nation and increase their Joy.

That's that's where that is where you say, hallelujah.

It is not like hey, here's Joy. No.

Joy from Jesus increases. Never maxes out.

The only way. Joy, I met Joy came X out

because to live is Christ and to die is gain.

So, when you leave this Dimension, you go into even a

greater dimension of joy. This is good news.

This is why that no matter how sad and frustrated I was

yesterday, I had something to look forward to what the body

coming together. This is Glory, they Rejoice

before you like the joy in Harvest.

We've been talking about Harvest is here, right?

Guess what is in Harvest? It Joy, if it aint Joy, it ain't

Harvest. If it ain't no joy in the

Harvest in ain't God's Harvest. I think I think is one of those

things as you get older. Joy means more to you, things

mean less to you. I get it now, get it in

parenting for a lot of you. Young people.

Things are very important. They make you feel important,

but as you get older and you see life leaving you, what really

matters start to really matter. But if you can listen to older,

people who are at that door and Apply it to yourself.

Now, you would have more long, you will have more valuable days

in your life. You always thinking older people

hating on you and they old know you might be dumb for not

listening to the older people because not listening to people

who didn't, where you going and where you at, is not wise.

But you'll listen to some friends that a compliment you,

like you and make you feel good because you're insecure but

young people. Let me help you out.

People have been somewhere and you don't have to experience the

pain if you just tap in today pain I paid some people pay pain

prices, If we could just listen, you don't get if I could just

tell you getting drunk and high ain't the business.

Well, that was for you. Our body is different.

Okay, go ahead. Then Right.

Go to school and take four years to finish.

Maybe try three, don't be like, oh and I'm gonna go try

everything. I get my parents kept me from

let me. Let me help you out.

If you got parents, that's trying to keep you from

something, count it as a blessing.

You know how ignorant you sound that somebody is willing to get

a life up for you and you know how many parents have given

their kids up? Well, you know what?

You're telling your parents when you say leave me alone, what you

saying is, give me up. The fact that you live in a home

where people care about you and you got somebody that's texting

you saying where you at. I'm trying to help you, because

this is why this message is this part is important because

people, your age is dying before they parents, is it just isn't

this a generation where young people dying before their

parents? Hallelujah, for to us.

A child is born unto us a son is given, and the government shall

be upon his shoulder. And his name Shall be Called

wonderful, counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting.

I read that because that's like the Christmas scripture.

That's what we got in here on Christmas.

Of the increase of his government.

Just go read that on your own. I don't want to read that right

now. But I just put it there just so

you know, I'm tapped into Christmas, but we're going to

move onto some. We're not just talking about a

son, we're not just talking about a child, but we are

talking about a King deliver, a provider and a Healer.

Now we're not we're not this time I oh Baby G.

No no we talking about a king. We talk about to deliver.

We talk about a provider we talk about a heat, you get what I'm

saying? We this is not just some cute

story, this is a baby, a king, a deliver, a provider, who had to

come as a Be, why did he have to come as a baby?

Because him on that cross wasn't accounted for us.

So we have to come how we came be tempted, are we can't?

He have to be born, how we was born.

He had to die. How we was, how we going to die.

But don't get it twisted. You know, I mean people in the

Old Testament couldn't come near God.

And then he came in to a point where a human was able to

swaddling, where don't get it. Don't get it, don't get it

twisted. I messed up the picture.

I'll do it again. Listen, listen, you got it, you

got it, you got it. All right.

Listen, He's he was too. He is too, holy Jesus.

Comes fully God fully man. Once in a form, we couldn't come

close to then he presents himself in a form week.

He needs us to carry him. You going to talk about a

relationship? He you got to understand the

last time, he was intimate with us.

That way is when he breathed in our nostrils.

Now he needs us to feed him. This is a God, who is wanting to

be close to us with us intimate. We're not just talking about a

little boy. Victory is revealed through the

hands and work of Jesus Christ in our lives.

Victory is revealed through the head.

Let me, let me make sure you understand what today's topic is

everything changed but don't forget revealed for Glory where

we're going to go is yes. We're going to talk about Jesus

but we got to make it practical. God is about to reveal you come

on fiscal air pump it. There we go.

God is about Out to reveal. He told Abraham.

I will make your name famous. Now, understand God is not going

to reveal you without revealing himself through you just for the

people that need to hear. That part, I understand what I'm

saying, but what I'm trying to say to you is, is you can't hide

that much longer. You can't keep saying they're

better than me. You can't let me tell you, this

is the year where disqualifying yourself will not work.

Okay. Can I preach to somebody that

has a history of disqualifying? They sell this is the year that

I don't care. How long you've put off your

ministry, your ministry, can't be put off no more.

It is about your ministry about to present itself to you.

You know how that you know how to look at the mama bird.

Push the bird out the nest and say you're going to learn today.

Look at your neighbor, say you were going to learn today.

God is about to push you out the nest today.

Say reveals. Come on with us a little

stronger, say revealed. A reveal is powerful.

Right? You can you just think you can?

Look at, you can look at me and be, like, man, past eat clean.

And then one day, you come to the basketball game.

And you be like, dang, passivity got Taps all over his arms, you

didn't know that. But the fact that I reveal my

arms to you, at least makes you think, you know me, a little

better. You you?

Because because more of me was revealed here.

Here's what you got to understand.

You're about to be revealed, because he's about to reveal

himself to you. Now, I ain't never had God

revealed himself to me, and I have not increased in who I am,

because the Bible says in Matthew 10.

When you find me, you'll find you and me right there in the

same place. So when God show up, guess who

else show up me, show up. Hey, I'm about to show up cuz he

about to show up. What it is.

So cute. At the production.

We seen little baby. Jesus.

Mary was Q. Joseph was killed.

You was killed Joseph. Don't act like you.

You was killed Joseph. But wouldn't it be a shame if

all we did? What's go the rest of our lives?

Only knowing that picture? See, they've packaged that

picture for Christmas. They don't want you to know

grown Jesus. They if they really celebrating

Christmas. We would not stop here at the

manger. We going to pause at the manger

today for a second because you're going to find yourself

there. The reason Son of God was made

manifest, or made visible was to do one thing to undo, destroy

loosen and dissolve The Works of the devil.

Now, I want you to every time God shows up, he's come to do

this. I'm trying to tell you, as soon

as Jesus walks in the room. Everything Changes.

Why? Because he destroys and loosens

and dissolves. It ain't no time.

That Jesus walks in a room. Demons.

Don't start running. There's things in 2023 that has

to evacuate your life. Look, it ain't because you

changed is because he walked into your life.

I'm trying to tell you. I don't, I don't know about you,

but you, you didn't. You ever talk to yourself you

ever? Try to encourage yourself.

You ever talk down to yourself? You ever think bad thoughts?

Wow. When I look at you all I think

is wild thoughts. You look in the mirror and you

like how many people ever look at themselves in those thoughts

in your mind? You like, oh, I don't like that.

That's why you put on makeup today because you like, ooh.

That's why you put on a suit today, because you'd like we

could do better than that, right?

So whether it's thoughts, rather, you, but the right,

right? What I'm saying, in 2023, you

gonna have to start encouraging yourself, a little, you going to

talk to yourself, you're gonna have to talk.

It ain't nothing wrong with you. Looking in the mirror saying.

Whoa. Okay okay, how many times you

look at somebody else and be like, okay, now, do you think

you think it's not humility because you compliment yourself.

No arrogance, and Cockiness and conceitedness is an issue of the

heart, not the mouth. So just because I tell myself,

okay, write what you bought a mirror for if you ain't going to

compliment yourself. If you ain't got no mirrors in

your house, something wrong with you.

And if you're going to spend the time to look in the mirror, talk

to you. Act like you look in the mirror

right now. Hello yourself.

See, you got to give yourself the first compliment today so

when you go out there, you ain't thirsty.

You don't wait for nobody to compliment you.

So when somebody else compliment you you get this be like I do

thank you for joining the team. And I'm trying to make hey

Michael, what I realized man is the church has done away with

people's confidence. You got if you're going to

compete, if you're going to be a champion you gotta know you

good. Right.

I just I just feel like 2023. There's going to be a whole lot

of Victory revealed there's going.

I'm going to hear a lot of stories of people triumphant and

they finances they relationships.

You know I'm saying, like I'm I really feel in your body.

I feel Victory is about to be the theme of 2023.

I'm talking Pure, I'm talking about the victory in 2023 going

to be pure. What do I?

What do I what do man? You got to understand what I'm

saying. Right now there's things that

you have needed. To feel Victorious or feel good

about yourself or feel Comfort. But I'm saying in this next

year, there's going to be things that you used to need to feel

what God has already given you. And so what I'm saying the

pacifiers are about to fall out your pocket Yeah, there's gonna

be things, you don't need to feel important things, you not

gonna need to feel loved. There's some I love.

Yous. You not gonna need no more.

There's some looks, you ain't gonna need no more.

Today, we celebrate the end of Hell's Reign and rule over our

lives. This is the day when Jesus was

born, Joy, can now join the party and peace has pierced

Darkness. That's not just some little baby

in the manger. That's Joi joining.

The party and peace. Piercing Darkness, You ye this

is why they were threatened when baby to go kill.

Baby. Jesus go kill all the babies.

Why are you killing all the babies?

Jesus was a threat as a baby. Let me, can I help somebody in

here, please? Can I help somebody?

This might be the first time you've ever heard this in your

life. There is no one that God has

allowed to make it on this side of Earth.

That was not a threat to hell. When you were born, you were

threat. I just don't think nobody told

you. That's why you experience that

molestation. That's why you experience that,

right? That's why you experience a

childhood where people talk down to you.

Why would you be talked down, why would you have to experience

a Dad or Mom not being in your life?

Why? Let me help you.

The only reason that you are going through this on this side

of Earth is because you're a threat and you're a threat to

Future Generations being Victorious.

Arias. And I want you to know if the

enemy could discourage you, he can discourage Generations.

If he could get you to quit, there's some generations that

will not make it. Everyone is here because someone

kept going and while they were there, the time came for her to

deliver her delivery and her deliver, right?

You better tell somebody She gave birth to her.

Deliverance me y'all better shut up.

She delivered her Deliverance. That's what I'm saying.

What are you got? What is bringing pain in your

life that is in the future going to deliver your butt?

What business plan that is seem like it is held to get your

business off the ground. But like Joseph one day, because

you kept going and rewriting the plan and rewriting, the vision

and you save the money and you abandoned some fun.

So you can get ahead. But one day that business is

going to deliver somebody, come on somebody.

You got to deliver something that's going to deliver you one

day. Somebody somebody how I work.

My mama, my mama, who's over here?

She used to. She used to pray over me now and

him and she sold prayer in the me.

She sold faith into me. Now, I can pray over her and so

you see how I work, she gave birth to something that was

gonna bring perfect, man. You better stop playing with

somebody. It's the cycle of Life.

What is inside of you? That hell is threatened of

coming out? And I'm telling you 2023 the

time came for her delivery 2023. The time has come for your

whatever it is her coming out. And she gave birth to her son.

The firstborn. She wrapped him in swaddling

clothes. Laid him in a Manger. because

there was see, this is just a scripture, right?

You think he just reading the Bible?

but if you could just really let me help you some things to be

revealed make impractical for you but when I read this over

and over and over, I saw some stuff now if I uh Oh, because

there was no room or place with them.

You wonder why for some of you all your life?

You ain't found room. You wonder why over the last few

years, the Lord you think they've left.

You just like, you think leaves fall off a tree.

No trees. Let leaves go and so God because

there are some things and some people in some places you

haven't been let didn't been strong enough to let go.

God has allowed them to let you go.

God has allowed friction in those places.

Has allowed certain places in your life to dry up.

You don't even get happy. No more you're trying too hard

now what used to be easy now it's harder.

God is left that place. Look at this.

There was no room or place for them in the end crowd.

I hate to say it to you but you don't fit everywhere.

Stop trying to make people and places fit in your life.

You just ain't that Stop, stop trying to fit.

There's no room. There's no vacancies.

All the rooms are taken. Let them be that.

But as long as you try to be that you go struggle and thank

God for the rest in Mary because she said, I'll take what I can

get. There was no room in the end.

So Jesus was put in a place. In a rack for fodder.

Or a structure or feeder used to hold food for Animals?

Our Savior was hidden. Follow me majors are mostly used

in livestock raising and generally found at stables and

farmhouses. Our savior is in a container

used to feed animals our savior That Jesus was hidden to be

revealed. And here we are frustrated,

won't nobody? We say we overlooked.

What? If I say you wasn't overlooked,

you've just been hit it. Okay, they are also used to feed

while animals follow me. How do you say this?

How do you say the Latin word? I would say but I got some Latin

he go in here and I'll deal. I don't want to disrespect

nobody if you don't know that we all in the same family then we

good month. I want to say Monger care but

then I don't know what kind of accent I just put on it.

It just huh? It's good.

All right, all right, all right. We in good another letting

people know what's up? Okay man, but look what it

means. To eat.

Now, we can get spiritual, we can get spiritual and understand

that God is always beating us to come to the bread of life.

But this was a place for animals to eat a Manger or I love this

word because it allowed me to play with some words but crib.

Here's how Jesus was hidden. He was hitting in a crib wasn't

made for humans. He was a savior but he was

hidden as a carpenter. And he was a deliver but he was

hitting as a criminal. There's glory in your just and

what I mean by this is your, it wasn't just a crib.

He wasn't just a carpenter, you're not just anything.

God will use your just stop minimizing What you have, where

you are, who you are, who you've been surrounded by?

No, this ain't just no garage. This is the Temple of the Holy

Spirit. They hey this is why God gonna

bless us because we ain't just in no tense.

Love quest with nothing. We've been in, have we treated

as Jess. Everywhere.

We've been we swore we was in something.

You put it to me, this a cathedral, most people will be

in the garage though. Some pain, only just know every

time I'm in here, I'm walking around.

I'm like, okay. We're going to fix that and put

that card over there. What do you mean?

We just in the garage? No no, no.

God's best being unveiled in your life is dependent on how

you deal with your just seasons. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We in three garages but they ain't just no garages.

These will, these will be garages of Deliverance.

These are garages of Salvation. These are garages of healing.

These are garages of Hope. Come on, come on.

He's our garages of life. You know, what's so crazy?

I have had several people. First of all, the owner that

owned the place next door, he used to walk around the garages

and pray that there was a church here.

And then, you know what, I just found out, Anna's mom has shared

with us, she went to college down, the street Bible College

down the street, and they used to walk around this

neighborhood. Praying that a church come No,

this ain't you. What do you mean?

Seek receive. Some Believers saw a community

that the city thought was ran down and toe up.

Oh, that's just Wally. What?

If God said that's just Malachi. That's just to Vaughn.

Hey man. Can I get somebody?

That's gracious. I mean grateful that God didn't

say that's that's just, that's just Troy.

Come on. Can I get anybody?

That's that's just Andrew. That's just Fe, right?

That's just that's just John. That's no no no.

That ain't just, that's just God's child.

There's glory in your just in the hands of Emmanuel.

Everything change, what? He's your man God With Us.

Not God visiting us God With Us in the hands of Emanuel, there's

always tomorrow's. And in three days.

I love, I love this, I love this.

I know it's a little slaying whatever you want to thank NG

and tomorrow keeps on getting better but you got to step into

it in the hands of Emmanuel, there's always tomorrow's and in

3 days, Oh, Jesus died. But he said, but in three days

right here, you see, Joshua them on one side, but the word of God

said, tomorrow, let me let me help you.

And Joshua said to the people sanctify, yourself, set

yourself, apart, preserve yourself.

In other words. Deem yourself as special.

Don't just let anything in your life.

Don't just put anything in your mouth.

Don't just set your eyes on anything.

Separate yourself for a special. Holy purpose?

Why can somebody say that for me?

For what? Come on for, what the Lord will

do wonders among you? See.

Why am I excited? Because I really believe this

stuff. I grab the word.

I grab the word. He says he says the weapons.

Our Warfare are not carnal but they are Mighty through this

bullet struck the strongest like you grab the word and you take

anything that opposes the word of God and you you grab it and

you hold the word over it. So no matter what tomorrow is

said to be on the news no matter what the doctor says tomorrow.

Looks like the word of God says tomorrow the Lord's going to

Ooh, wonders, I just got to what set myself apart.

So I'm 30 says for his anger is but for a moment, he knew what

he told my pastor revealed. Well, you might be going through

some Darkness, but you only going through some Darkness.

So some light can be revealed, man, shut up.

I would I wish people can understand this principle and

this truth God is allowing you to go through the valley of the

shadow of death. He encourages you to fear no

evil only so you can know that he is with you.

You don't appreciate lights. If I pull my phone out right now

and turn my light on, you wouldn't appreciate that but if

we turn off all the lights and we say put your lighters up,

it's beautiful. I'm here to tell you, if you

want to see Glory, you got to be willing to go through gauri You

got to be willing to go through dark.

You got to be willing to if you want to see God.

You gotta be willing to go through some tough patches in

your life. He says, but we've been may

endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

What he said is, it may be dark tonight, but what's about to be

revealed is something that's going to cause you to have what

Joy Let me pause for a second Kate.

Let me pause for a second. The problem about being a part

of a faith community is, you don't really feel the fullness

of when you go through tough times.

That's a problem. But it's a blessing because when

it's time to really like, put a praise on it, it's like, but men

have we really went through something.

If we just really pause for a minute and thought about covid,

Like what you was a part of a church that covid didn't stop.

So you don't really you're not a part of a community, where covid

really did you in and families were broken apart and depression

settled in like, we just came out of some dark times.

Let's go back to when we couldn't go nowhere and there

was no toilet paper on the shelves.

Think of the craziness that was going on.

Think of the restrictions, if you go here, if you go there.

Wash your hands stink of them, the tension in the streets,

folks getting mad cause you didn't have no mask on.

Getting attitudes and you up in the milk, referred you in the

refrigerator, get milk for five minutes and you mad because I

reached over you to pick my milk because I know what milk I want.

And you want me to stand over there till you pick your milk

out. Then the church was almost

divided over shots. Families.

Torn apart over shots. And if you don't think that what

we just came out of does not have long-term.

But the good news is it doesn't for those that stayed in him.

All right, here we go. All right, now I'm gonna go

pretty quick. Okay, soyou part is you going to

go with me? You going to push you going to

push, you know, you're driving as a manual.

Stick shift. I didn't say Emmanuel.

I said manual, right? Is that a manual, right?

You know when you need help you you pushing it and then people

write this, then I'm giving y'all permit push me push and

pull. We bout to go somewhere.

Is that cool? All right.

For nothing is hidden. Made me and my me and my wife.

I think we've been I think we've been hidden And if you hidden

too long, you start second-guessing your Global

call. Or whatever God has called you

you start second-guessing that big business you dreamed about?

You you start second-guessing that career and you get in the

midst and start changing things because it wasn't cracking, you

didn't get the attention. I don't know how many times

somebody said, hey let's do a photo shoot and I'm going to

help you hey let's let's do this album, gonna help you.

Do you know how many people came in?

My life said there's going to help me.

Help me, help me, help me and then we do something and they

should they disappear? This is the weirdest thing you

ever have people and things come in your life where you pick up

your hope you invested in it and then it just all the same.

Just don't happen. Right?

School recruits are you come and they promise you all this a

church recruits? Are you come and they promise

and it just you get a new job and you like exciting you tell

your parents, you get a whole new wardrobe because you got

this new job and once you get in there you find out that ain't

what they sold you on. You like God, what the heck's

going on? I don't know who I'm talking to.

God said don't change your career.

Don't hear you. God says don't worry about that

promotion. You got to become a student

because he needs you to learn some things as he going to give

you your own. Yeah.

Yeah. I need some people to understand

and hear me before we leave this year.

It ain't always the devil. It's God.

He's hiding you and he has been hiding you.

But the scripture says, he's only hitting you to reveal you.

I don't know about you, man, but I've been, I've been hidden for

a long time. 2007, my wife and I we say yes and I said yes.

And but man, we just been plowing and this is what you

all. Wait, this is what I realize.

God had to remind me, he says stop having false humility in

the area of your Rewards. Boldly receive declare and

accept that the faithfulness that you have shown the Harvest

that supersedes. That is coming because it's

promised that they hey, don't you, dare be faithful, but then

try to dumb down the Harvest of faithfulness.

He said, he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

Prosperity is on God's mind about you.

Nor has anything, been kept secret but that it would come to

life. That is the.

That is things are hidden only temporarily.

I don't care how much of a drought.

It seem like you've been and I don't care how long you been

frustrated about, whatever. You've been frustrated about.

The I'm trying to tell you, whoever I'm talking to is

temporary. If it's something that needs to

be turned around, God's about to turn it around.

If it's something that needs to be lifted up, God's about to

lift it up. If it's something that's got to

die, then it's about to die but it's only been temporary.

Why has it been temporary? Because there is an appropriate

time. This is what I've had to learn

to understand as much as I wanted to rush the building

permit. We super close.

We just we just we just submitted rdvp Harvey.

You don't even know what a DDP is.

I barely know the DDP is but it's a huge stack of papers.

It's very important. Okay.

We're right there were super close, we're right there listen

but I realized the process of getting the building.

Permit is less about the building.

It's more about the Building. And you keep making what you're

going through about the thing. But God is using the thing

because the important thing has to be constructed and built and

developed and character has to be the best.

You are the important thing. Not the job, not the broken

relationship. God is allowing you to go

through this Brokenness because there's something in you that

has to be molded and developed and built up. stop eliminating

yourself just because you've been hidden doesn't mean you

haven't been seen God is opening the right eyes to see you and

blinding the wrong eyes to discovering you.

I'm out of help. Somebody today, I want to help

somebody today. I am.

So I am so happy you didn't see me.

You don't want the wrong attention.

How many people thought that, you know, that little Joker that

dance move talk to you. You know, that little jogging is

smooth-talking and he got you and then you found out, it

wasn't all what it, but some of y'all know what I'm talking

about. She was fine, but you found out.

She was a demon, right? He saw, you know what I'm

talking about? I dare you to pray this more

Lord. Don't let them see me if they

ain't supposed to Lord. Only revealed me to those that

will love me the way you. See, this is what you got to do,

more of be, okay, with being hidden.

Because when you are constantly putting yourself out there, you

are revealing yourself to people who wasn't meant to see you.

All right, how are we going to rush this happening on?

This isn't the hell, struck down throughout all the land of

Egypt. Everything that was in the

field, but men and beasts. And the hell beat down all the

vegetation in the field and shattered every tree of the

field. Okay, follow me, only in the

land of Goshen where the Israelites were was there?

No hell. If you stay in the Lord in 2023,

no matter, what hell is broken out around you?

All hell could break out, but as long as I am hitting in Jesus,

pardon me, but no weapon. Formed will prosper?

No gate in the hell will prevail?

No mountain standing will deter me and no giant taunting will

stop me. 2nd Corinthians 4:4, says this.

Before I go to the birth of Emmanuel returned us to the face

and heart of God. For our light momentary

Affliction, this slight distress of the passing hour is ever more

and more abundantly preparing you see you see what these

afflictions do. They are preparing you.

This building permit is preparing us one day.

We're gonna look back at these days.

Oh my God. Remember the tent is going to be

a day where we by intense for people.

It's going to be days where you're not saying.

If you stop at a at a tour down 10th, you never get the

building. That's going to give people they

tense. Preparing and producing and

achieving for us in Everlasting weight of Glory beyond all

measure excessively surpassing all comparisons in all

calculations, a vast and Transcendent Glory.

But what's being produced in you is something so much more

weightier. This is one of my most favorite

scriptures I've ever seen in my life, coming up.

You ready to hear this? Are you ready to see this?

This is gonna blow your socks off.

Let me see. Let me see.

I got a few more slides and we got.

This is my last Sunday on Know about Jersey, my last Sunday of

the year. Listen listen, are you ready for

this scripture? I hope it's good to you because

I'm putting dubs on it, but but that's okay.

And the city has no need of the sun nor of the Moon to give

light to it for the Splendor and Radiance of God illuminated and

the lamb is its lamp now all y'all got it, y'all go.

All y'all gotta see this God needs.

No help Illuminating. You He says he says man's

lights. The stage lights, the cameras

Instagram, whatever, man puts out there for you to shine is

nowhere near the illumination that the glory of God puts on

your life. Big Nick.

This is what Isaiah, 60 says, the glory of the Lord is upon

you. This is why there's some things

in 2022 that I am out of. It's about cutting out because I

want to make sure nothing. But pure light is coming out in

2023 there. This is what I'm telling you.

You will not need assistance next year to shine.

There's a difference between obeying instructions and needing

assistance. If you obey instructions, it

will bring the assistants. But if all you look for is

assistance and you abandon instructions, you will not give

birth to what God is calling you to give birth to and 2023.

The city has no need of the God. He does the city, the church?

We don't need the light. The world needs.

All right, I'll give you two stories of David first, when

they came looking for him. And lastly, when he showed

himself today to Goliath, okay. Real quick Jesse made, look,

Jesse made Seven of his sons passed before.

What is the number? Seven mean, Completion.

This is why waiting is important.

This is why you can't be jealous.

Because seven people went before you.

Here's why, you can't trip if other people's churches, took

off before yours, or somebody else got the contract or the

husband or the wife. Before you stop looking in other

people's windows, being jealous of a dinner table, Jessie Mae

seven of his sons pass before Samuel and Samuel said to Jesse

um skills me they cool but the Lord has not chosen.

None of these and I would much rather be who God has chosen

then who you chose? Don't choose me.

You don't got to be my favorite. You don't got to be my friend.

You don't got to like my style. You don't got to.

Like, might it my my height. You don't gotta like nothing

about me, but guess what? I am.

Chosen, not forsaken. I am.

Who he says I am. Man, if you can get the people

pleasing and the worrying about what people think about you out

of your system for 2023 watch what God does.

I need one approval. Only need one approval. he says,

then he said to Jesse or all your son's here, Jessie said

there is yet the youngest this is 2023.

There's folks going to be coming looking for you because you

didn't qualify before they didn't like you before.

Some people God didn't allow them to hire you or partner with

you, or give you the money. God was hiding, you don't trip,

you didn't get the loan, don't trip that they didn't believe in

your vision three years ago. I'm not shutting my business

down because you don't like it or you don't approve it.

So what if you don't like buttermilk cookies.

So, and I'm gonna keep making these buttermilk cookies because

God told me to All I need is one person to taste these cookies in

my business. Going to go off.

That's all good. He is tending.

The Sheep CR. Elder, John, Elder Roseanne.

Who I'm talking to? Who am I talking to Carol?

And I know who am I talking to? This is why you can expect God

to call you forward next year. Because when he came looking for

you, you was doing the last thing that he told you.

I'm talking to some people who didn't act who Whitney, hey,

this is why next year is your year because when he showed up

you was do you didn't let the anointing or the call or people

patting you on the back push you out of position.

You didn't let the family. That was saying that church is

this and that you know you stayed the course and God Is

about to reward your Dill. Whoever this is for, God is

about to reward. Your diligence, know, it's

coming to me, is coming to you. You kept loving your husband,

you kept loving your wife, you kept loving your children.

You stay faithful at your job. You kept Integrity, God is

coming for you. Send for him.

For we will not sit until he is here.

I'm sorry, but there's just some stuff in this world that can't

pop off until I show up. Hey, here's what the hatin

spirit will say, bring it down because we've had haters, right?

You got to haters, when you say something like that.

Why wouldn't you go ask dr. Dre is he the best producer in

the world? He probably took you go ask him.

You go ask. Jay-Z you go, ask LeBron, you

go, ask any and they going to tell you, yeah, I'm the best.

Why we got 100 rapper saying I'm the best rapper alive.

How has dumbing yourself down. Gotten your salvation bag.

There, there could be no love quest to the Richmond, showed up

to Canada. Okay.

This this would have stayed vacant, maybe it wouldn't have,

but I don't know if a church would have came in here because

let me tell you, there was some people trying to get these three

buildings and they don't and they was like, huh.

And they would have made a lot more money.

But what's for you is for you. Here's the other thing Emmanuel,

there is a grace period of time for what God had the blessing to

stay on the table. So just because you didn't show

up last year and say yes, your Disobedience did not remove the

blessing off the table. He it ain't too late, Chaka,

Khan help me Chaka Khan and then he introduced.

So he's anointed, then he's called forth and then he goes

back after he's anointed to 10-sheet, David was anointed

three times. Will land it here.

The Philistines came on and Drew near to David.

The Man Who Bore The Shield going before him mind you David

was tending sheep. His dad said hey hey buddy, go

take your brother some sandwiches He said yes, sir.

And when the Philistines looked around and saw David, he said

you you see the Philistines was looking around.

Him her. Who am I fighting today?

You say he's looking around and he saw David, the small guy. the

uneducated guy, the the kid with the felony, the drug addict, the

pimp the prostitute The the one, with the mental illness,

whatever you qualify, you'll see the depressed 10, you think God

don't want you, because you're depressed.

Do you prime? Oh, he won't you.

He needs your story. He's looking for, but God

stories. The one who couldn't get out of

bed and opened a blinds. The one who was afflicted and

oppressed, he's looking for you, he looked around and that bully,

you look a little. Look at the standoff, he scorned

and despised him for he was but an adolescent, and this is what

the devil hates is for you in your condition to stand up and

still feel qualified. As some of you don't think you

qualify to face the enemy to face your depression and you

think you've done something so wrong in your life that you

supposed to be, where you add na, na, na na the blood of

that's why that baby was born and what a healthy reddish

color. And a fair face, they call David

fine. I need y'all to get this, he

wasn't just known as a warrior. He was a fine Warrior.

What is the Bible constantly compliment like say say how

people looked? Let me tell you something.

Yo-yo looks and your stature matter.

Stop comparing yourself. God needs you to?

Look how you look when Goliath show up and look at you and the

Philistine said that David a my dog.

Oh yeah, that you should come to me with sticks.

Remember to just you bout to come up with me with just

sticks. I wish y'all can see this is

revelation is why I'm excited. You looking at me like I'm crazy

because I got some Revelation on this.

Here's a 9-foot giant looking at this five foot kid and he's

saying you really about to fight me with sticks.

You really bought the fight me with that Brokenness.

You really about to try to fight me with depression.

You really about to fight me with one leg.

You got to fight me with that handicap.

You about to fight me with that horrible resume.

You've got to fight me with no experience.

You have to fight me with that broken relationship.

I want you to really look at this man's response.

Philistine said, please. The Philistines said to David,

come to me, come on. You want to dare to fight me?

Come on. And I will get this at.

This was David's coming out party.

It's Davis being revealed and don't think I want you to know.

The Lord wants you to show up to the enemy's lines with your

baggage. I will give your flesh to the

birds, he talking smack. Then said, David to him.

You come to me with a sword, David said that the alive said,

you come to me with sticks. David said, you come to me with

a sword and a spear and a javelin you showed up here with

all of this. All in a resume, all the money

you come up, name-dropping, you come up with your crew.

You coming up with your looks and yo and all your fine then

you just pulled up in your Lamborghini and I caught the bus

here. But this is where your mentality

got to be 420. 23, where you put more value on your two sticks

with God. This is what the manger did for

us. It wasn't just a Manger.

It was a savior in a manger and you got to know whatever you got

in your hands. It's more than enough whatever

you got in your life right now. You don't got to accumulate

nothing else. You are more than enough cuz he

is more than enough he says but I come to you in the neck he

said you come with all of this armor you come with this

reputation. Station.

But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the god of

the ranks of Israel. Whom you have defied, you ain't

defied me. You mess with me.

You messing with God. That's nice.

Why I tell people they're all these people to mess with me.

When they just think Malachi is a basketball player, they don't

know, Malachi is Anointed. And when you mess with the

anointed ones, you know how many people say thank you for

speaking up? Thank you for saying something.

It ain't that I'm just this is what I just go around fighting

for my rights. You know, it's God has said

you're going to step up to the enemy's line two.

Today and I am about to prove myself Malachi different and

only man, he's anointed and it's less about being ineligible and

it's more about in this moment, God's about to reveal who he is

in him. Hey, hey this.

Yeah my job is not to say let's give them Malachi.

My job is to say, man, look at how many people are responding

and maybe they don't know it, but God is fighting for us

pushing back. The darkness lighting up.

The kingdom that cannot be shaken.

I say I say somebody will say this.

He okay. I said he's only okay because of

who he surrounded by. He got people fighting for him.

He got people praying from. Not every kid when something

goes wrong. Do they got intercessors?

How many high school kids got people interceding?

For And that's our job to let these young people know they are

anointed and that's what we came to tell the devil, did they

touch not my anointed, you have messed with my, I don't care if

your father is, uh, no alcohol. Forget calling him an alcoholic.

He's anointed my mama, anointed my sister.

Anointed my brother or not, I don't know, but right now, put

somebody who you been thinking, bad about, who you been having

bad vibes towards and just put your name there naming, your

mouth is say they are anointed. There are anointed.

Worship team. Come on up.

As they're coming up. Joseph couldn't hold itself.

No longer. It's a place.

I came into my life. I couldn't I couldn't.

I couldn't. You guys don't know.

As I evolve as a as a speaker, a preacher or teacher my inner

battles. I have so much growing the do as

a preacher for those that be like pass it to you.

Be bringing that thank you. But I am nowhere near where I

know. God has called me to be.

Thank you for saying, opacity your anointed.

Oh, you ain't seen anointed right.

You supposed to tell you we're not where it's every day.

We're going from Glory. Glory.

There's a lot of work to do. I'm forever being challenged

forever being changed. I'm forever having to face

certain weaknesses in my life. I got to be a better husband, a

better. Father, there's things that I

can correct to become better. But it came a point where Joseph

was hidden. And he said he couldn't hold his

self. No more.

Keeping up a front. He said, he told everybody to

get out the room because it was time for him to be revealed to

his family. And some of you the call pools,

you to creates a gap between you and even family.

And this is a year coming where you you are free from explaining

yourself. You can't explain being hidden.

You just got to be hidden. Somebody walked by cave and see

you in a cave and go me. Like I don't want you in a cave.

I'm just in the cave, bro. Pray for me.

But he was crying, Joseph spoke to his brothers.

I am Joseph. Is my father, really still alive

but his brothers, couldn't say a word because they were shocked

because they left him for dead. God is about to reveal you.

To some people that have given up on you, there's people that

you don't necessarily need to know.

They've been talking about you behind your back, but just know,

there's some people talking about you, there's some people

that ain't really rooting for your success, right?

There's some people until Matt, there's some people happy, he

has been deemed and there's some people.

Happy you didn't get that job. There are some people happy you

didn't get that building. Let him get happy God's about to

reveal you. He said come closer, Joseph said

to his brothers, they came closer.

I am Joseph your brother whom you sold into Egypt But don't

feel, can I help somebody in this in this?

This this Joseph said, But don't feel bad when you arrived, don't

you dare. Look at your family and say I

told you don't. You dare show up to the day of

your success and repay somebody for abandoning you.

Here's what you going to do. When the blessings show up, you

going to bless your enemies. You might hire one of your

enemies, you know what I'm saying?

That's what Jesus did. He hire Judas?

Mmm. But don't feel badly.

Why don't blame yourself? For selling me, God was behind.

You selling me. I need you in 2023 to stop

blaming other people, they don't know better.

What if I told you somebody that's against you.

God ordained it. Next time, you don't get that

job, don't say the Devil is a Lie.

Now, you did not get that job because it was the devil.

The Lord, the Lord needs you to keep searching.

God sent me here ahead of you to save lives.

For some of y'all. I know people personally, for

some of y'all time at love quest is being so good.

But the hard part is coming. The tension is come with loved

ones. But I need you to know

something. That what God is doing in your

life is not for you to look back.

God sent you here and he sent you a head to save lives.

And what your family doesn't know.

God is in the business of keeping blood lines going, And

if everybody stopped on the same dunghill, the generation, the

bloodline dies. So what you have to go through

is to keep the bloodline alive. And sometimes you got to

separate from your blood to preserve blood.

For God. So loved the world.

This would you gotta the baby in the manger was a father,

separating himself from his son. Father.

Thank you. I think is one more slide there

but father. I come against paralysis.

Those paralyzing thoughts. You see this, I want you guys to

see this, God has sent you a head to pave.

A New Path, all Chaka Khan. I'm looking at every person up

here and I know for 100% fact, every last one of you You're

Paving A New Path for your bloodline.

Oh man, Fe you're Paving A New Path Natalia.

You're Paving a new pet. I know your stories and your you

Paving A New Path. And make sure there was a

Remnant in the land. He needed a Remnant.

This is what we're getting the building permit for because we

wouldn't left a building. We was left a remnant of a

building. But what the Lord's about to do

with a remnant? Father.

Thank you. Jesus, thank you.

Father, thank you for sending your only begotten son.

That we have the promise. That Joy comes in the morning.

Come on, say Joy comes in the morning.

Say, as long as I have Jesus, I have everything.

As long as I have. Jesus, it's far from Over the

glory of the Lord will be revealed in my life, Jesus,

Because of You. Everything has changed in Jesus

name, just lift your hands, Right?

to be one of the strongest Most powerful.

Most stable. I don't know about you, but,

I'm talking about measures of peace.

That you never thought existed within you.

The ability to let things go. The ability to let things come

into your life. This is the year that sabotage

has no power in your life. I'm telling you you're about to

walk into a confidence. This Little Light of Mine, I'm

Take a couple moments. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you.

Jesus. May we never get tired of

thanking him and giving him praise.

him. Praise.

You thought my praise got on your nerves in 2022?

Amen. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. We got a few grateful people in

here, for sure. Thank you, Jesus.

Let me help a few people in the last two weeks.

Just saying this week, how many people been shopping in the last

week? It everybody even if it's been

online. I mean, people who write been

shopping. How many times you think you

said thank you. Think of how many stories you've

been in and how many times you said thank you.

Who helps you get to them? Store safely, get home safe.

Who blessed you with the job to even get the money to buy that

part. That's the part right here that

we want to take the time because if you get start getting lost in

the consumerism of Christmas, you miss it.

How many tell you walk? Hey, thank you so much.

Where's the dressing room? Thank you so much.

You thinking everybody, and we just taking a moment for you to

say, thank you for the one who made it possible for you to even

have a reason to say thank you. Don't forget the source, don't

praise the resources and forget the source, because in covid.

And then in places in the world didn't need, all that shit.

That you don't get to go shopping shopping for.

Well, we can't go nowhere. If you own your sickbed, guess

why? You don't need no clothes, you

don't need no car because you stuck on a gurney.

I don't know how many people who have went through anything but

man do not get tired saying thank you because it's your

thank you. That's going to get you through

your next tough season. And that's what we did.

When we seen those tore down tents, we said Thank You, Lord.

Why? Because you, the one that gave

us the money to purchase them and if you did it before, you

could do it again. Thank you, Lord.

I will never be a two-faced it worshiper.

I will never be some time he with my praise.

I'm not telling you to reach out to shout.

I'm not telling you to do it like me, but what I telling you,

you can't just think of thank you. and I guarantee you when

you got your bags from the store, you didn't just Try to

transfer a thank, you know, you open your mouth is saying, what

thank you. God is a person.

Jesus is a person to whom a son was born.

Lord. I declare that I will not have

to get to nothing to know you're everything.

I will not have to get to nothing to know, you're

everything. I will not have to get to a

sickbed to know you're a Healer. So you know I'm saying, we don't

have to get too broke to know he's provider.

So let's say let's just take, we going to take 60 seconds for the

whole room. Now I don't want you to open

your mouth. If God ain't gate, did nothing

for you please. You good just afterwards.

I want to know, you know, I'm saying what you living on cuz

but I just want, but if God's done anything for you, Final

test. Hold your breath.

For as long as you can't. Just hold it as long as you can.

You know I'm saying? A lot of people in here.

Probably think they're in charge any life, just hold your breath.

Just hold it ready. Everybody going to do it at the

same time. 12. No, you're not going to say

thank you and hold your breath. You can hold your breath first.

So you could discover, you ain't in charge.

So, you can understand that the breath in your lungs is the

literal life of God in you. So just go ahead and do it on

the count of three. We're going to all hold our

breath as long as possible we want.

We're going to hold our breath for as long as possible, K long

as possible. Okay, we're gonna hold our

breath as long as possible, okay?

I'm gonna count to three. We're gonna hold our breath as

long as possible. And I just want you to get the

Revelation that at any moment. That breast can be taken. and if

any moment that breath can be taken, then it would be wise of

you to use it for the one that can preserve you.

One. To, and now you can breathe deep

through your nose and into your belly.

So you have a better chance because some of y'all don't know

how to breathe. So you breathe, you see?

You see that this is not my real belly, you know I'm saying?

I'm just putting air in it. They like pasta.

Please don't look like that one. Okay.

And then you go hold it. All right.

One, two, three. now, if we actually think about

this holding your breath like that is stupid Right.

It's kind of silly. All right.

How many people understand that? We need our breath?

The longer you hold your breath and out and stop your breath

from circulating you start getting lightheaded.

Your brain begins to be affected, right?

The same thing that you see. Physically can apply

spiritually. Why would I hold my breath back

from the one that gave it to me? And a part of Praise is because

I'm admitting I need life so I worship life.

Because I need life back. And so, when I Praise Him, guess

what happens? I receive life.

And I also push out toxicity. So, what we gonna do is we don't

have 60 seconds where we all get the praising him and tell you a

couple of announcements and then we go in with a really cool song

that everybody's going to sing. Okay.

But I want a room full of people that praise God on their own

because he's good to you. The spirit of Life.

Tapped you on the shoulder this morning and said you got another

day, get up. You ready?

We're going to take 60 seconds to just.

Thank him. Go right ahead.

Thank you, Jesus. We love you, Lord.

We love you Lord. We love you Lord.

We love you, Lord. You're so good.

God. You're so worthy God.

You're my everything God. You're my source.

You're my strength. Lord God.

Without you lord, I am nothing. You are my provider Lord Jesus.

You are my protector Lord, Jesus.

You're My Healer Lord God. You Are My Strength.

You are my sword. Come on, 30, more seconds. 30

more seconds. Come on, lift your voice.

If you're unashamed Thank you for another year alive.

Thank you for another year with a sound mind.

Thank you for another year with strength.

Lord God. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you Lord. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you Jesus.
