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. A little bit about this idea.
-
I was thinking back to when this idea of interruption came and I
-
was just yeah I forget. It was a lot of word going
-
through our house over our house and I think we're talking about
-
the blood but we were talking about being the interruption in
-
your bloodline. I don't know about you.
-
My dad wasn't in my house right. There was drugs in my house,
-
there was drugs in my community was no Pastors in my family.
-
There was a lot of things like my friends.
-
There's a few. I buried a friend in the 11th
-
grade from being shot with a 12-gauge, shotgun in his back
-
like homicide was high prostitution was hot sex
-
trafficking was hot, drugs was hot like so for me to make it to
-
where I am, that is nothing short.
-
Of an interruption like Interruption to statistics, I
-
don't know. Some people in your culture.
-
Ethnicity maybe you you've seen old age, you've been promised a
-
lot you but for me I'm not. Post to be standing here.
-
Let alone being leading and partaking and leading a healthy
-
thriving, growing Church. In British Columbia.
-
Right. But God, right and so, I
-
understand Interruption, I understand not graduating from
-
high school rather, it was by one class or not, but not
-
graduating high school and God still using me in a mighty way
-
Interruption, right? Interrupting people, the
-
statistics interrupting what people think about me
-
interrupting, the persecution interrupting and I'm looking at
-
a lot of interruptions in here. I'm looking at a lot of Options
-
up here. And this is why I oh God my
-
life. Because if I had to pay for what
-
I've done, how arrogant we live this life.
-
Like we don't need a savior and we know we trashed some time and
-
we know we have a sinful nature and we know the filthiness of
-
our thoughts, but God has put family members and spouses and
-
friends in our lives, to have a peace of peace and hope and and
-
Triumph and Victory. So maybe your life is, he has
-
some struggles. But man, look around you look
-
around you right now. You are here because I'm an
-
interruption, you might be going home to a jacked-up situation,
-
you might be struggling in your marriage.
-
But for two hours, your life is being interrupted with some good
-
news. And sometimes you have to allow
-
yourself to be consumed by the interruption opposed to the
-
disruptions in your life and allow God to take you on this
-
Quest. Because one thing, everybody in
-
this room have in common, we're all on our love quest.
-
At least tonight, we are. Welcome to love quest.
-
But I was interrupted sitting there in my seat.
-
That's why I went from that iPad to this little phone because I
-
took a look few notes and I just want to read something and with
-
my time we'll see. We'll see.
-
We'll see where we go with it. Pray for me, okay?
-
Because I still want you to get this wet, as I was sitting
-
there, I was thinking of a very popular story.
-
When the king of Egypt was told that people were gone, the
-
people were gone, he and his servants changed their minds.
-
They said, what have we done? Letting Israel, our slave labor,
-
Go free. I take this personal because I
-
can read it and put my name, right?
-
Where Israel's name is? There was an enemy that was
-
Haunting my life taunting my life.
-
Life had a grip on my life. And then, there was a day that
-
Jesus interrupted his strategies.
-
His plans to kill steal, and destroy my life.
-
And there was a day because of Jesus, not because of you, but
-
because of Jesus, he had to let me go.
-
But when I was let go, he came to his senses and said what have
-
we done? Let him, let me.
-
First of all, tell you no demon in hell.
-
Can stop the day of emancipation for someone.
-
One. If it's my day to be broken
-
free, it is my day to be broken free.
-
But, of course, he's Relentless. He's trying to kill steal, and
-
destroy. And he said, what have we done
-
in here? Anyone that serves the world?
-
I want you to know it's slave labor.
-
You're being a slave to bring destruction and confusion to
-
other people's lives. Fig we let him go free.
-
So he had his chariots, harnessed up and got his army
-
together. I don't know about you.
-
But but, but, but I don't know. But the enemy has sent an army
-
out to stop me. He sent the Army to stop you.
-
You know how ticked off the enemy?
-
Let me put it this way. You know, how ticked off the
-
enemy? Even he is so mad at you.
-
Even thinking about changing, She always tell people this, the
-
enemy, the way he fights you the weapons, he he, he puts against
-
you. It's not based on who you are
-
today, and who you think you are.
-
It's based on who God says, you are.
-
Right. And the one of his biggest
-
weapons is to get you to question who you are, to
-
question whose you are and spend a whole lot of time thinking you
-
are doing something in life, when you're really not doing
-
much. But advancing, in worldly
-
things, So, he had his Cherry, his harness tough.
-
He said he took 600 of his best cherries all know about you.
-
But I've been talking about me. I think Dylan that the enemy to
-
stop you has had to and still has to send his best.
-
Right? No, he got to send this best
-
principalities rulers in high places.
-
Have to try to manipulate and trick some of you, some of us I
-
know it was a day where that he any little thing give me tripped
-
up that the devil didn't even have to send his best.
-
He just sent this little You don't mean to lie, you know, you
-
got the guys on the corner, those who wants not really
-
making no money. He had to send the little ones
-
to me, but man is hard as heck. To stop a child of God that
-
knows who they are, who they are.
-
And when your mind is me, I'm just talking to a few people
-
today to just make your mind up, stop thinking you have so much
-
life. You can keep living in the gray
-
area. There is no peace like piece
-
from a made-up mind when you live.
-
I live there when you live in confusion when you live in
-
double-minded when you live in two-faced and when you living on
-
what the Bible says today is Just make your mind up choose
-
you this day life or what Dad says, God made Pharaoh king of
-
Egypt. Stubborn determined to chase the
-
Israelites. As they walked out on him
-
without even looking back. The Egyptians gave Chase and
-
caught up with them, where they had made Camp by the Sea.
-
All pharaohs, horse-drawn Chariot and their Riders, all
-
his foot soldiers, there at pie her eye off.
-
Hahaha Riya. Ha.
-
Hi Ross. That's right, that's right.
-
That's right opposite bail. Is that phone?
-
Let me just say it. Is it phone?
-
Everything sounds good like that.
-
As Pharaoh approached the Israelites.
-
Looked up and saw them. Egyptians coming at them.
-
They were totally afraid. They cried out in Terror.
-
To God, they told Moses weren't the cemeteries large enough in
-
Egypt so that you had to take us out here in the wilderness to
-
die. Here's one of the worst things
-
is when God interrupts and intervenes on your life and you
-
still considering going back to bondage.
-
Sometimes you don't even realize when God has interrupted your
-
life when God has intervened and he is ready to take you on to
-
bigger and better and better things.
-
Right? Because you got to understand
-
what Grace really has done for us.
-
Rather, I work for it or not, there's a time in my life where
-
God will enter up. I remember, I remember where I
-
was in June 2017. I grew up in church.
-
Okay. It was about by the time.
-
I was 30 years old so I gave you 2017.
-
No. 2007. I gave you 2007 and I I gave you
-
how old I was in 2007 so you guess my age, you do the math
-
but I'm not giving that away but there was a time where the Lord
-
said he says son. I can't go any further with you.
-
This did not mean he was leaving me this meant at some point, the
-
fruit of my choices had to come. Because some of us weren't
-
taught that way we were raised that way I wasn't talk to the to
-
be in the I wasn't taught to sell dry.
-
Wouldn't talk to smoke? I wasn't talk to drink.
-
I wasn't taught those things. I was taught the way.
-
I was taught for a reason regardless of what life brought
-
you It's so there was a day he said that and I said, Okay, God,
-
I made a bargain. I said, well, let me finish my
-
last few live shows. And then, I'll come to you and
-
I'm telling you, he said, okay, but them last few live shows
-
every single show. Something crazy happened from
-
car breaking down to being stuck in the snow to lock in my keys,
-
in my car, for hours, away from home.
-
All kind of crazy stuff, mind you, my wife is very unhappy at
-
that time. But everything changed in my
-
family's life when me as the leader of my household said yes
-
to the Lord. You can run all you want to, you
-
could do it how you want to, you can complain on how he's
-
ordained you to do it, but everything changed.
-
When God snatched me out of my darkness, I want you to
-
understand, I wasn't at an altar praying for an encounter with
-
God. He came to me while I was high
-
It wouldn't be an interruption if I went to him it's an
-
interruption because I'm out doing me and there was a day, he
-
drew the Line in the Sand, gave me a choice and I thank God that
-
I had a little bit of sense to not fool with God's timing
-
because God will grace us to go and do whatever we're doing.
-
But there's a time where he says, son now is the time I've
-
ordained for you. We got to go So, back in Egypt.
-
Says, didn't we tell you? Leave us alone here in Egypt.
-
It sounds like sometimes people when you're trying to bring
-
accountability and show them the way they're like won't you just
-
leave me alone in Egypt? We better off as slaves in Egypt
-
than as corpses in the wilderness.
-
Moses folks are the people. Don't be afraid.
-
Stand firm and watch. God do his work of salvation for
-
you today. Take good take a good look at
-
the Egyptians today for your for your never going to see them
-
again. This is good news is good news
-
right here. He said take a good.
-
Look at your enemy. Take a Look at your stronghold.
-
Take a good. Look at the plot of the enemy.
-
Take a good look at your bondage today.
-
You're never going to see them again.
-
And as we approach the end of a year, crossing over into a brand
-
new year, I'm telling a few folks.
-
That's ready for something new that, take a good.
-
Look at your trials and your troubles for in 2023, you will
-
not see them again. God will fight the battle.
-
Sorry sound man. Sorry sound man.
-
Sorry that was my fault. Almost put the mic in my ear
-
that's in. Then I brought it back.
-
God will fight the battle for you.
-
God will God will fight the battle for you.
-
For me to be high and still here when God calls me out.
-
So I don't care how deep you are in sin, whenever it's time to
-
come out, it's time to come out. I don't care how dead Lazarus
-
was when it was time for Lazarus to come out.
-
It was time for Lazarus to come out.
-
So whoever I'm talking to you can run, but you can't hide
-
because when it's your time to come out, guess what time it is.
-
It's time to come, ouch. He said, God says to Moses, why
-
you crying man? That sounds good to the people,
-
but you got to order the people. It's time to get moving.
-
Hold your staff high, and stretch your hand out over the
-
sea. Split the sea.
-
It won't. I want you to know.
-
He didn't say, I want he didn't say hold your staff out and I'll
-
split the sea. He said, hold your staff out.
-
And split the sea. I'll make that make sense to the
-
second for you. The Israelites will walk through
-
the sea on dry ground. But at when God told them this,
-
guess what? Pharaoh.
-
And his army was coming and the ocean was still doing what the
-
ocean we is doing. God said that that big old ocean
-
right there that big old problem you're facing that that dark
-
cloud. Those Suicidal Thoughts.
-
That abandonment that rejection whatever you are facing right
-
now. Stick out your rod and split the
-
see what it, what it? What does that sound like
-
splitting the sea sounds like an interruption.
-
I I wrote a couple things down over there for you.
-
I would like to liken the rod to the word of God.
-
This is a tool that we all have. We all have a rod that can split
-
the sea. We all have a rod that can
-
interrupt, whatever is going on. That is opposing.
-
The will of God in our lives and it's called the word of God.
-
I like to call it the word of God, the rod.
-
And when he said, Moses, stick the rod out when I speak the
-
word is as if I'm sticking my ride out.
-
I'm trying to help somebody right now because as we go
-
across, we are going to have to line our tongue and our lives.
-
With the word of God. He said, life and death is in
-
the power of the what tongue Interruption is in your mouth,
-
you speak death, it can interrupt life, you speak life.
-
You can enter up there. When we speak the word, we
-
interrupt disruptions when we speak the word, we disrupt
-
destruction. When we speak the word, we
-
trouble our troubles. When we speak the word, we push
-
back barriers, when we speak the word, we break bronze doors.
-
When we speak the word, we stress out our anxiety, when we
-
speak the word, we hunt demons, sending them trembly.
-
And when we speak the word, we curse curses.
-
Then I was taken back to a prophetic word, that was spoken
-
and written that was so hard. I think it was October 2nd
-
October 2nd. And I was reminded.
-
To speak it over this house, for whatever reason.
-
And I looked at it and it had a few words that was out of a
-
scripture Memory. We say God's gonna blow a fresh
-
wind on our lives in 2023. Without read it.
-
October 2nd, there's a fresh wind that's building momentum.
-
You'll remember this. See on, there's a fresh wind
-
that's building momentum. Blowing us into the perfect
-
purposes plans and will of God to fire that keeps spreading.
-
It's a burn that keeps purging There's a strength that keeps me
-
standing. There's a stand that induces
-
Authority, there's a calm that agitates.
-
Hell you got to hear what I just said there is a peace that
-
agitates hell There's a fervor that breaks chains.
-
There's a love, that sends fear running.
-
There's a piece that confuses my confusion.
-
There's a joy that disrupts my sorrows.
-
There's a desperation that pierces through my depression.
-
There's a comfort that makes my discomfort uncomfortable.
-
There's a Clarity that disrupts my distractions.
-
There's a faithfulness that It paralyzes my unfaithfulness.
-
There's a fight that won't let me quit.
-
There's a certainty that reminds the devil.
-
It's too late. There's a confidence that
-
shakes, my insecurities. There's a diligence that
-
discourages my anxiety. There's a hope that keeps me
-
smiling in my furnace. There's a know that access is my
-
God. My gosh.
-
Yes, it takes one seed. To shatter the spirit of
-
generational poverty. There's a spirit that affirms my
-
citizenship and there's a father that establishes my sonship and
-
there's a sun that establishes. My Championship.
-
Something's breaking. Something's bursts thing.
-
Something shifting something is stirring.

church still have a purpose, your finances, still have a
-
purpose. Why are you yelling?
-
Because I believe what I'm saying, why he yelling because
-
I'm alive. I'm not just celebrating
-
Christmas, because the world says, we should not just
-
celebrating Christmas because I got two weeks off of work.
-
I'm celebrating Christmas because the devil is under my
-
feet because that is a lie. He saved me and my wife.
-
He saying, my children, I was blind.
-
But now I see, I was lost but now I'm found.
-
I'm not yelling cuz I'm Charisma attic.
-
I'm not yelling because I'm a brother.
-
I'm not yelling because I'm from the United States, I'm yelling
-
because I'm excited about the same God that she got.
-
That's in you. I'm yelling come, the Bible
-
said, let everything that has breath.
-
Praise the Lord, he said, wherever those symbols are
-
change them out. The Bible tells me to rejoice
-
and he says, again Rejoice, he tells us the clap, he tells us
-
the dance. He tells us to play tambourines,
-
he tells us to shout, I'm not shouting because I'm
-

Yeah, we can don't let nobody else quietness paralyze your
-
voice. Anybody that got a voice,
-

-
box. Anybody that woke up with a
-
limbs working? Anybody who God has brought you
-
some tough time? God deserves to hear your voice.
-
God deserves, a praise God. Deserves to hear his children.
-
I will not let the rocks cry out.
-
I know I'm going to pray out in a second but I feel God.
-
I feel God wants us to remind the world.

Why we really celebrating? What separating?
-
Our celebration from the world celebration.
