  4. coffee, get some water, whatever you need to do and get ready to

  5. receive the time. Is right now.

  6. Let's go. A little bit about this idea.

  7. I was thinking back to when this idea of interruption came and I

  8. was just yeah I forget. It was a lot of word going

  9. through our house over our house and I think we're talking about

  10. the blood but we were talking about being the interruption in

  11. your bloodline. I don't know about you.

  12. My dad wasn't in my house right. There was drugs in my house,

  13. there was drugs in my community was no Pastors in my family.

  14. There was a lot of things like my friends.

  15. There's a few. I buried a friend in the 11th

  16. grade from being shot with a 12-gauge, shotgun in his back

  17. like homicide was high prostitution was hot sex

  18. trafficking was hot, drugs was hot like so for me to make it to

  19. where I am, that is nothing short.

  20. Of an interruption like Interruption to statistics, I

  21. don't know. Some people in your culture.

  22. Ethnicity maybe you you've seen old age, you've been promised a

  23. lot you but for me I'm not. Post to be standing here.

  24. Let alone being leading and partaking and leading a healthy

  25. thriving, growing Church. In British Columbia.

  26. Right. But God, right and so, I

  27. understand Interruption, I understand not graduating from

  28. high school rather, it was by one class or not, but not

  29. graduating high school and God still using me in a mighty way

  30. Interruption, right? Interrupting people, the

  31. statistics interrupting what people think about me

  32. interrupting, the persecution interrupting and I'm looking at

  33. a lot of interruptions in here. I'm looking at a lot of Options

  34. up here. And this is why I oh God my

  35. life. Because if I had to pay for what

  36. I've done, how arrogant we live this life.

  37. Like we don't need a savior and we know we trashed some time and

  38. we know we have a sinful nature and we know the filthiness of

  39. our thoughts, but God has put family members and spouses and

  40. friends in our lives, to have a peace of peace and hope and and

  41. Triumph and Victory. So maybe your life is, he has

  42. some struggles. But man, look around you look

  43. around you right now. You are here because I'm an

  44. interruption, you might be going home to a jacked-up situation,

  45. you might be struggling in your marriage.

  46. But for two hours, your life is being interrupted with some good

  47. news. And sometimes you have to allow

  48. yourself to be consumed by the interruption opposed to the

  49. disruptions in your life and allow God to take you on this

  50. Quest. Because one thing, everybody in

  51. this room have in common, we're all on our love quest.

  52. At least tonight, we are. Welcome to love quest.

  53. But I was interrupted sitting there in my seat.

  54. That's why I went from that iPad to this little phone because I

  55. took a look few notes and I just want to read something and with

  56. my time we'll see. We'll see.

  57. We'll see where we go with it. Pray for me, okay?

  58. Because I still want you to get this wet, as I was sitting

  59. there, I was thinking of a very popular story.

  60. When the king of Egypt was told that people were gone, the

  61. people were gone, he and his servants changed their minds.

  62. They said, what have we done? Letting Israel, our slave labor,

  63. Go free. I take this personal because I

  64. can read it and put my name, right?

  65. Where Israel's name is? There was an enemy that was

  66. Haunting my life taunting my life.

  67. Life had a grip on my life. And then, there was a day that

  68. Jesus interrupted his strategies.

  69. His plans to kill steal, and destroy my life.

  70. And there was a day because of Jesus, not because of you, but

  71. because of Jesus, he had to let me go.

  72. But when I was let go, he came to his senses and said what have

  73. we done? Let him, let me.

  74. First of all, tell you no demon in hell.

  75. Can stop the day of emancipation for someone.

  76. One. If it's my day to be broken

  77. free, it is my day to be broken free.

  78. But, of course, he's Relentless. He's trying to kill steal, and

  79. destroy. And he said, what have we done

  80. in here? Anyone that serves the world?

  81. I want you to know it's slave labor.

  82. You're being a slave to bring destruction and confusion to

  83. other people's lives. Fig we let him go free.

  84. So he had his chariots, harnessed up and got his army

  85. together. I don't know about you.

  86. But but, but, but I don't know. But the enemy has sent an army

  87. out to stop me. He sent the Army to stop you.

  88. You know how ticked off the enemy?

  89. Let me put it this way. You know, how ticked off the

  90. enemy? Even he is so mad at you.

  91. Even thinking about changing, She always tell people this, the

  92. enemy, the way he fights you the weapons, he he, he puts against

  93. you. It's not based on who you are

  94. today, and who you think you are.

  95. It's based on who God says, you are.

  96. Right. And the one of his biggest

  97. weapons is to get you to question who you are, to

  98. question whose you are and spend a whole lot of time thinking you

  99. are doing something in life, when you're really not doing

  100. much. But advancing, in worldly

  101. things, So, he had his Cherry, his harness tough.

  102. He said he took 600 of his best cherries all know about you.

  103. But I've been talking about me. I think Dylan that the enemy to

  104. stop you has had to and still has to send his best.

  105. Right? No, he got to send this best

  106. principalities rulers in high places.

  107. Have to try to manipulate and trick some of you, some of us I

  108. know it was a day where that he any little thing give me tripped

  109. up that the devil didn't even have to send his best.

  110. He just sent this little You don't mean to lie, you know, you

  111. got the guys on the corner, those who wants not really

  112. making no money. He had to send the little ones

  113. to me, but man is hard as heck. To stop a child of God that

  114. knows who they are, who they are.

  115. And when your mind is me, I'm just talking to a few people

  116. today to just make your mind up, stop thinking you have so much

  117. life. You can keep living in the gray

  118. area. There is no peace like piece

  119. from a made-up mind when you live.

  120. I live there when you live in confusion when you live in

  121. double-minded when you live in two-faced and when you living on

  122. what the Bible says today is Just make your mind up choose

  123. you this day life or what Dad says, God made Pharaoh king of

  124. Egypt. Stubborn determined to chase the

  125. Israelites. As they walked out on him

  126. without even looking back. The Egyptians gave Chase and

  127. caught up with them, where they had made Camp by the Sea.

  128. All pharaohs, horse-drawn Chariot and their Riders, all

  129. his foot soldiers, there at pie her eye off.

  130. Hahaha Riya. Ha.

  131. Hi Ross. That's right, that's right.

  132. That's right opposite bail. Is that phone?

  133. Let me just say it. Is it phone?

  134. Everything sounds good like that.

  135. As Pharaoh approached the Israelites.

  136. Looked up and saw them. Egyptians coming at them.

  137. They were totally afraid. They cried out in Terror.

  138. To God, they told Moses weren't the cemeteries large enough in

  139. Egypt so that you had to take us out here in the wilderness to

  140. die. Here's one of the worst things

  141. is when God interrupts and intervenes on your life and you

  142. still considering going back to bondage.

  143. Sometimes you don't even realize when God has interrupted your

  144. life when God has intervened and he is ready to take you on to

  145. bigger and better and better things.

  146. Right? Because you got to understand

  147. what Grace really has done for us.

  148. Rather, I work for it or not, there's a time in my life where

  149. God will enter up. I remember, I remember where I

  150. was in June 2017. I grew up in church.

  151. Okay. It was about by the time.

  152. I was 30 years old so I gave you 2017.

  153. No. 2007. I gave you 2007 and I I gave you

  154. how old I was in 2007 so you guess my age, you do the math

  155. but I'm not giving that away but there was a time where the Lord

  156. said he says son. I can't go any further with you.

  157. This did not mean he was leaving me this meant at some point, the

  158. fruit of my choices had to come. Because some of us weren't

  159. taught that way we were raised that way I wasn't talk to the to

  160. be in the I wasn't taught to sell dry.

  161. Wouldn't talk to smoke? I wasn't talk to drink.

  162. I wasn't taught those things. I was taught the way.

  163. I was taught for a reason regardless of what life brought

  164. you It's so there was a day he said that and I said, Okay, God,

  165. I made a bargain. I said, well, let me finish my

  166. last few live shows. And then, I'll come to you and

  167. I'm telling you, he said, okay, but them last few live shows

  168. every single show. Something crazy happened from

  169. car breaking down to being stuck in the snow to lock in my keys,

  170. in my car, for hours, away from home.

  171. All kind of crazy stuff, mind you, my wife is very unhappy at

  172. that time. But everything changed in my

  173. family's life when me as the leader of my household said yes

  174. to the Lord. You can run all you want to, you

  175. could do it how you want to, you can complain on how he's

  176. ordained you to do it, but everything changed.

  177. When God snatched me out of my darkness, I want you to

  178. understand, I wasn't at an altar praying for an encounter with

  179. God. He came to me while I was high

  180. It wouldn't be an interruption if I went to him it's an

  181. interruption because I'm out doing me and there was a day, he

  182. drew the Line in the Sand, gave me a choice and I thank God that

  183. I had a little bit of sense to not fool with God's timing

  184. because God will grace us to go and do whatever we're doing.

  185. But there's a time where he says, son now is the time I've

  186. ordained for you. We got to go So, back in Egypt.

  187. Says, didn't we tell you? Leave us alone here in Egypt.

  188. It sounds like sometimes people when you're trying to bring

  189. accountability and show them the way they're like won't you just

  190. leave me alone in Egypt? We better off as slaves in Egypt

  191. than as corpses in the wilderness.

  192. Moses folks are the people. Don't be afraid.

  193. Stand firm and watch. God do his work of salvation for

  194. you today. Take good take a good look at

  195. the Egyptians today for your for your never going to see them

  196. again. This is good news is good news

  197. right here. He said take a good.

  198. Look at your enemy. Take a Look at your stronghold.

  199. Take a good. Look at the plot of the enemy.

  200. Take a good look at your bondage today.

  201. You're never going to see them again.

  202. And as we approach the end of a year, crossing over into a brand

  203. new year, I'm telling a few folks.

  204. That's ready for something new that, take a good.

  205. Look at your trials and your troubles for in 2023, you will

  206. not see them again. God will fight the battle.

  207. Sorry sound man. Sorry sound man.

  208. Sorry that was my fault. Almost put the mic in my ear

  209. that's in. Then I brought it back.

  210. God will fight the battle for you.

  211. God will God will fight the battle for you.

  212. For me to be high and still here when God calls me out.

  213. So I don't care how deep you are in sin, whenever it's time to

  214. come out, it's time to come out. I don't care how dead Lazarus

  215. was when it was time for Lazarus to come out.

  216. It was time for Lazarus to come out.

  217. So whoever I'm talking to you can run, but you can't hide

  218. because when it's your time to come out, guess what time it is.

  219. It's time to come, ouch. He said, God says to Moses, why

  220. you crying man? That sounds good to the people,

  221. but you got to order the people. It's time to get moving.

  222. Hold your staff high, and stretch your hand out over the

  223. sea. Split the sea.

  224. It won't. I want you to know.

  225. He didn't say, I want he didn't say hold your staff out and I'll

  226. split the sea. He said, hold your staff out.

  227. And split the sea. I'll make that make sense to the

  228. second for you. The Israelites will walk through

  229. the sea on dry ground. But at when God told them this,

  230. guess what? Pharaoh.

  231. And his army was coming and the ocean was still doing what the

  232. ocean we is doing. God said that that big old ocean

  233. right there that big old problem you're facing that that dark

  234. cloud. Those Suicidal Thoughts.

  235. That abandonment that rejection whatever you are facing right

  236. now. Stick out your rod and split the

  237. see what it, what it? What does that sound like

  238. splitting the sea sounds like an interruption.

  239. I I wrote a couple things down over there for you.

  240. I would like to liken the rod to the word of God.

  241. This is a tool that we all have. We all have a rod that can split

  242. the sea. We all have a rod that can

  243. interrupt, whatever is going on. That is opposing.

  244. The will of God in our lives and it's called the word of God.

  245. I like to call it the word of God, the rod.

  246. And when he said, Moses, stick the rod out when I speak the

  247. word is as if I'm sticking my ride out.

  248. I'm trying to help somebody right now because as we go

  249. across, we are going to have to line our tongue and our lives.

  250. With the word of God. He said, life and death is in

  251. the power of the what tongue Interruption is in your mouth,

  252. you speak death, it can interrupt life, you speak life.

  253. You can enter up there. When we speak the word, we

  254. interrupt disruptions when we speak the word, we disrupt

  255. destruction. When we speak the word, we

  256. trouble our troubles. When we speak the word, we push

  257. back barriers, when we speak the word, we break bronze doors.

  258. When we speak the word, we stress out our anxiety, when we

  259. speak the word, we hunt demons, sending them trembly.

  260. And when we speak the word, we curse curses.

  261. Then I was taken back to a prophetic word, that was spoken

  262. and written that was so hard. I think it was October 2nd

  263. October 2nd. And I was reminded.

  264. To speak it over this house, for whatever reason.

  265. And I looked at it and it had a few words that was out of a

  266. scripture Memory. We say God's gonna blow a fresh

  267. wind on our lives in 2023. Without read it.

  268. October 2nd, there's a fresh wind that's building momentum.

  269. You'll remember this. See on, there's a fresh wind

  270. that's building momentum. Blowing us into the perfect

  271. purposes plans and will of God to fire that keeps spreading.

  272. It's a burn that keeps purging There's a strength that keeps me

  273. standing. There's a stand that induces

  274. Authority, there's a calm that agitates.

  275. Hell you got to hear what I just said there is a peace that

  276. agitates hell There's a fervor that breaks chains.

  277. There's a love, that sends fear running.

  278. There's a piece that confuses my confusion.

  279. There's a joy that disrupts my sorrows.

  280. There's a desperation that pierces through my depression.

  281. There's a comfort that makes my discomfort uncomfortable.

  282. There's a Clarity that disrupts my distractions.

  283. There's a faithfulness that It paralyzes my unfaithfulness.

  284. There's a fight that won't let me quit.

  285. There's a certainty that reminds the devil.

  286. It's too late. There's a confidence that

  287. shakes, my insecurities. There's a diligence that

  288. discourages my anxiety. There's a hope that keeps me

  289. smiling in my furnace. There's a know that access is my

  290. God. My gosh.

  291. Yes, it takes one seed. To shatter the spirit of

  292. generational poverty. There's a spirit that affirms my

  293. citizenship and there's a father that establishes my sonship and
