Dec. 4 (AFT) The Push: Apply Pressure for Promise: Part 2

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. Not overshadow.

So we keep on singing and we keep on praising and we keep on

serving the lord, all the Days of Our Lives.

My praise will not be conditional.

Come on. Say my praise will not be

conditional. Hey man, have a seat.

Love it, man. This is all exercise.

This is all an exercise, man. Can we say congratulations and

thank you for the war Emerson. Come on.

Love, we're still in the championship.

Thank you. Thank you.

We just need him on our team next year.

That's always all good. But man, this, you know I'm

saying, I love, I love, I love battles.

That's why I said, thank you for battles, only cowards, complain,

about battles battles, give you opportunity.

You can't be like, oh Machamp but you don't want to go through

battles. Mine sets can be developed, but

you gotta be willing to go through the process and develop

it, you know me, I've never in my life had a major injury.

I have one little little little bump on my knee, but I ain't

never had no major injury and so over the last few months I had

to battle through calf, right? Then the hamstring, but What?

What man are you just find out. You're so much stronger than one

part of you. Rice.

Somebody walk out of your life but you got 30 other people in

your life. You know I'm saying it's like we

get so fixated on what we don't have is some of you and hear you

so fixated on what you don't have.

You're so fixated on what you might lose that you are not

celebrating and fix on what you do.

Have my blessings always outweigh.

My losses. And if you have the right

mindset, there is no loss. That is not a game.

All right? I'm not gonna waste my time.

Explaining that one think for yourself.

Amen. Just say Lord, what did he just

mean by that? He may tell you may not tell

you, I don't know. We started a new section of this

whole fighting thing. Last Last couple weeks away.

We know Lord told us we as his church, do not know how to what

fight and in, every anybody ever heard of when Jesus said, oh,

you of little faith, anybody heard it?

A scripture in there? It's in there.

If you haven't, it's in there, it's in there, you can Google

it, but he wasn't meaning, Faith tiny.

He was meeting short spurts. Right.

Streaky Faith, hot and cold Faith.

One day, you own. One day you off.

One day, you believe. I'm one day, you don't one day,

you rude it, one day, you not rude it one day, you gonna, you

know, it's like New Year's resolutions, right?

You ma'am. You got all these goals and then

come must pass or weeks and then We lose it, right?

Shorts /. So now so much that your faith

is small, but your faith is not big long enough.

Short spurts Moody faith. We should talk about Moody

Faith, right? Unpredictable Faith, unreliable

Faith. That's why he says he's the

rewarder of those who diligently seek him, right?

There's their name. When you see the word fight, you

gotta know. Diligence is a part of fighting.

And fighting is not just pouting or expressing.

Yo, yo, yo, way or what you want, right?

It's and fighting, and winning winning winning.

Winning is not always when you get the outcome you want.

Jesus won by dying. His outcome is that we were

saved. Not him.

So if you change your mindset Victory is not always you

getting the outcome. You want it.

Say perspective, but we just can't deal with push.

We don't deal with push. We're going to deal with push.

We don't deal with this thing. This this word.

Push applying pressure for promise while pursuing with

passion. Applying pressure with prompt

for promise while pursuing with passion watching pray say apply

pressure For promise while pursuing with passion, right?

I love these life examples, right?

Real life examples. If he was at the game, right?

I don't care how bad my hamstring was hurting, I know I

was going to use my hamstring, I don't care how if I pulled it or

damage it further by, I wasn't competing against the person I

was guarding I was actually competing against myself.

Because as I told the gentleman, I see it look, um, most people

in this league is not as far as they had desire to be, but then

some people's attitude just like chill, man, take it easy like we

just in this men's league, but then that's really disrespectful

to the culture and sport of basketball.

And what I said is the insecurities, the injuries, the

low self-esteem's The bad attitudes too bad, sportsmanlike

conduct the bad not being a great teammate, whatever the

things were that got in the way from getting.

As far as we wanted, some of us still deal with those things in

college. I was a great player, but when

the coach got on me in a certain way, I would shrink back a

little bit, if I'm take a bad shot and I just so happen to see

him, like, I would allow that to affect me.

You look at Pros, they coach get mad, but it don't bother me one

bit. Right.

And so for me, I tell the team, I said, listen, what's in you

steal, although you've left the level you played at, what are

some of the attitudes and characteristics about yourself?

That didn't allow you to go further that you still with net

dealing with. Now, use the game for that.

See, I don't have to get paid to give my best because the game

still has something to teach me. So when I go out my mind is made

of wood. I had a play through an injury

before or what was my mom's still developing a championship

mindset. So I have an opportunity to play

no Matter What against a very, very, very good player and a

very very good team and so My Mind Is Made Up to give my all

and be an in face wherever I am challenged and where Others May

back down. So I want to guard the best from

the top. And then I love it.

Look on the other side of the court, I'm going to talk about

my match up but the same pressure we applied then you

find a competitor say like Emerson who does him back down

from it, right? But says, I love that and until

you fall in love with being pressed, you will never run away

from Impressive. I must say that again until you

fall in love with being pressed. You will run away from pressing.

I'm gonna take my time on that one until someone until I learn

to, you know, what what, what he said.

Okay, I love the talk. Right.

And you either got to be careful, talking messed up.

Some people or you just gotta be willing to take back what?

You're pressing? Presses out of them.

This is why it's very dangerous to stand against the enemy, but

you have no choice or you do, you can let him stand on you or

you can stand up to him. But you gotta understand the

cost of Standing when you stand and say, I'm taking back

everything. The enemy stole.

I'm standing for my mom instead of for my husband, instead of

our children standing for my city.

When you stand, you gotta know that comes with a price.

And when you go to stand for something, it's gonna cost you

everything. Is there a cost you a string is

going to cost you some toenails? You look at athletes and look at

they toes turned out way they toenails gone but man get ye and

they got paid, they experience something that it costs you

something and this is why most people According to the kingdom,

definition of champion will always live a coward.

Because they don't want to pay the price for standing standing

for their marriage standing for pleasing, they spouse standing

for their children, standing to change the bloodline standing to

face a generational bondage. Even if it means facing your

mama and your daddy, and saying enough is enough, it's just

easier to say, you know what? Whenever we come around you, you

just Bogart the conversation, you always got out of two.

So when I come around you because I have to, I'm just

gonna be quiet and then resentment Bubble Up and instead

of having that really tough conversation and drawing some

lines. Now, you can't be that way

around my kids. No, Mama, drew the line with my

daddy. She said you going to live that

lifestyle you can't see you buddy.

And I think that you don't understand as a child, but

having a single mom protect her child.

If she was gonna fight for me, she have to drive draw lines

where I didn't know how. And there's lines that you're

called to draw for people. Your life ain't all about you.

So some things you got to stop just because it draws a line for

the people you're believing for. So maybe I got to stop drinking

because I'm believing for alcoholic father.

So I'm going to draw the line because he can't draw the line.

So I'm going to be his example. See some of us still want our

pleasures and our promises. But look God saying, hey

Pleasures are always cheaper and lower than promise.

So if you want to enjoy pleasure, go ahead but you will

never be fulfilled. Build-Off Pleasures.

Only promise. Bring fulfillment.

So we apply pressure. We apply pressure.

All right hand and I shared in the first, in the first like,

for me, there was an inner, there was an inner competition

going on. That's just one-on-one

competition with me and that guy over there and then I couldn't

sleep. I wanted to win, I don't know

about you, but I like winning and I don't lie.

Don't lose easy, I get it, I get it.

I get mad right? I don't get rageful, I don't get

mad. I'm like, man, what else could I

had it done and then I'm then I'm asking my wife.

Come on babe, say something to me.

My comfort me tell me something because I'm losing my mind right

now. She's like babe.

Okay, listen, here's a true. If you would have went a little

harder than what you did on the other hand, you probably would

have really injured yourself and couldn't walk.

I get that. I get that.

I get that. Okay, thank you, babe.

That that makes sense. That's why I didn't do that, but

I want to help my team as much as I can, right?

But that other part that I shared this morning is you also

have to fight to give get the enemy off you The enemy cannot

be comfortable. in your house, somebody break in your house

tonight and you up in there, or what you think you might do just

You know I'm saying? Are you?

Are you going squab? Or are you going call the cops?

She going to pull out the what you going?

Are you just going to be like, man, what you need?

I got you. Right?

You gonna make him milk and cookies?

You going, you going to make them.

You gonna make the you gonna make the thief comfortable, huh?

Okay. I want you to follow me on this.

You're gonna make the thief comfortable.

Let me ask you. How's that for your spiritual?

Your soul is the thief comfortable in your life.

He can say the same lies. He can bombard your mind without

you fighting back. He could enter your

relationships without you strong.

The line is he comfortable, right?

And so just like the game, right?

I told you that the person I'll be lying if I didn't tell you

that, it pleased me to have the Own intent.

Say, the pressure. Not not not em, right?

That was my assignment. I had gave the big dog. but

here, before him to say, somebody came up to me and said,

hey, it looked like he was making you uncomfortable or

overwhelm you. He look like, he overwhelmed you

He said, you know, he didn't really overwhelmed me as just no

one guards. Me like that, most people submit

to my advantages. So, I said to this morning, is

this is what the enemy banks on the enemy's, not more powerful

than you day, but he has power when you give him room, right?

So a guy like gay, right? He needs room.

He wants to give me rocking with him.

He wants to give me rocket, and I'm not, I can't afford to rock

with a hamstring, bad hamstring. So I gotta get up in you.

I got to give you no room, right?

The same thing with the Enemy. You can't just let them play.

This is what he hears, Eve. Eve, open the conversation with

god. He said, don't give the enemy a

footstool. But now you I told you what to

do. I said that tree is off-limits.

There's nothing to talk about, right?

So, so, so in Practical, I'm not about to give you the room to

Shake Rattle and Roll me. I'm not about to let dance all

night. I can't, I can't do this now,

I'm about to put me on skates. There's no balance there for me,

so I'm going to control and dictate the space. so, he says,

when you take away the advantage, You leveled the

playing field. And so every time I got the ball

I have to think more than I normally do and this is what I'm

trying to tell you. When is the enemy going to be

forced to have to think of a new way to get at you?

We need to get him have to redesign his game plan against

you. When is he going to have to

think twice, right? You have to take enough pride of

yourself and say you know what? He can't keep getting me.

I can't get an attitude over the same thing.

I can't keep doing this. When are you going to say enough

is enough? I'm not about to get freaked out

over the same thing. No more.

You're gonna have to try something different on my

family. That's how you got my mama.

That's how you got my Grandmama. That's how you got my daddy.

That's how sickness creeping through our bloodline.

Like, you gotta know the thing. You gotta know, you gotta shut

the doors from Generations before.

You can't just look at your doors.

You got to figure out what doors Mama them.

Open. And and you got to close them,

you know, if you are parents some time, the kids leave

cabinets open and so at the end of the night before you go to

bed as a good day, there's times where doors have been unlocked

in my house and as the man of the house, I walk past it and I

want to go tell my kids lock the door.

But as the man who has been given a responsibility to priest

of my household, it is my job to make sure all the locks are

locked. I can go ask somebody else I can

go ask Micah who sleep? Can you close this?

Pantry? Or I can close the pantry myself

because all those someone else left the door open me.

Identifying that it's open or it's a hazard.

It is now my responsibility to shut it because if the enemy

comes to a door that I allowed to stay open.

So if you let it stay open you are as responsible as who left

it open. What door is what?

What? What characteristic you saw mom

and him. Had that codependency that

always getting sick. That, that always complaining.

That trick the enemy played by mental illness like, like

sometimes mental illness, is a suggestion.

And as you trace it, as you follow it, as you research it,

as you let me tell you something, there's times where I

thought I was going crazy. Anybody ever excuse me?

Anybody ever thought they was going crazy.

Didn't say you was crazy, but you thought she was losing your

mind. Well, how you bounce back?

I just cause you ain't no medication.

No me, you ain't crazy. How many people know some crazy

folks on not on medication? That probably should be checked

out. Right, right.

You don't say. So for me, if thats never

checked Then it's built up on. And there's a difference between

somebody acting crazy. And being legally crazy.

All right. Second chronicles 7, I encourage

you to go. Listen to this morning, please

do. And I'm going to speed through a

few of these. And yeah, Solomon finish the

house. and the Lord says, this is going to be my house.

Heard your prayer. This will be a house of

sacrifice and this is the word for Love quest.

At this house is being built for God.

Period Point God first. Before profit before before,

this is God's house and we were building a house of prayer and a

house of worship. He says, if I shut up the

Heavens so that no rain falls. So if I allow famine if I allow

pandemics file, I'll call if I allow inflation, if I allow

starve, a, if I allow these things in the world.

Okay, if I send pestilence and play I want you to see this

among my I people, what's going on around you is as much of your

responsibility as the government all Chaka.

Khan. Let me ask you something.

Everybody that has an opinion about government officials.

How are you governing? Are you governing your

responsibilities or your legislative or your

jurisdiction? Are you governing that as well

as you wish true 20 or Trump or Obama?

Whoever are you governing that as well?

Because whether you know it or not God has said you are his

ekklesia. You are his governing body.

How you governing your life? How are you governing your

health? How are you governing your mind?

How are you? How are you doing?

he said, If my people number one would humble themselves, Number

two, what pray number three what seek crave and require as a

necessity it's got like necessity necessity like is he a

necessity you know you have you know you have to raise your hand

you wake up. One of the first things we check

is our phone email, social media.

We got to respond we gotta be on it.

There's nowhere we don't go that we don't feel like like like

like for some of us people can get in touch with us, very easy.

Which is saying that that thing is of a necessity.

So are you as attentive to God? As you are your phone?

Are you Tethered to God? As you are Tethered to your

phone? Can he get your attention as

much as your social media notifications?

Are you notifications on for heaven?

I'm talking to someone and know. Someone's don't want to listen

right now, what is your notifications on?

Can God interrupt you right now. My face and turn from their

Wicked Ways, then say, then then I'll here.

Forgive their sin and heal their land.

Whose land is it? Now, this is ours is ours.

God heal, heal our land. What you talking about?

Can't heal it without you. Moving right along.

He said, now my eyes will be open in my ears attentive.

To prayer offered in this place. For now, I have chosen and

Sanctified and set apart for my purpose.

This house. I'm not just reading a

scripture. I'm, I am.

I am prophetically releasing to you that this house, is this

house, this house. We are davidic people.

We have a davidic responsibility and it's not just praise and

worship, it's prayer, and it all mean it also is a set apart

place and in that set apart place as long as it stays set

apart then. Here's and he's also attentive

to us to all the prayers that are offered in this place for

now, I have chosen and Sanctified set apart for my

purpose. This house that my name may be

here forever in my eyes and my heart will be here perpetually.

As you see in the small, fine print, at the bottom, everyone

has God's ears. Not everyone has God's

attention. I share one scripture, he is the

rewarder of those who diligently.

So there's a group of people he rewards differently than he

rewards others. He's a rewarder of those who

diligently seek him. Those who are led by the spirit

are Sons and Daughters. The goal is not to be Christian.

The goal is to be a son and a daughter, right?

So he hears us all but there are select group of people.

He's attentive to I don't know about you.

That's me. I want to make sure and then he

goes and he says, he overturned, the tables of the money changers

and the stands of those selling doves.

One of those doves for those doves were for sacrifices.

So, people would purchase these and they were able to go through

and make a sacrifice. Why did Jesus turned over the

tables? Is because they'll set you when

you talk about a dove, you're talking about a, you're talking

about a upper-level sacrifice, there was some people X Out Of

the ability to buy that sacrifice.

And if you came by sacrifice, you can't what make a sacrifice.

So Jesus said, nah, you turn in my house into a den of Thieves,

right? You turning my house into a den

of this and next slide, Wake Up Little Susie wake up, you're

turning my house into a den of Thieves and he says, my Dwelling

Place will be known as a house. It will be known, it ain't where

we going. I pray it's going to have a

reputation of prayer but you have made it into a hangout for

thieves. Bless you prayer.

Is the key ingredient for birthing prayer is the key

ingredient, huh? Push.

I want you guys to see this. Another prophetic visual for

Love quest. Take it in, take it serious, get

expecting because this is what God is about to do.

Remember over the last few weeks, I told you Lords until my

heart about what kind of harvest we about to see Church

transfers. Cool, amen, Christian friends.

Okay, cool. But there's about to be a whole

slew of people that are coming in from other religions, other

backgrounds. And and, and God is saying, this

is my house because this house is able to host all my Children,

does that? That's big.

That's big stuff right there. There's a house that I found

that can host all my children. Not not just.

You want a few people of diversity, to say we have a

multicultural church. That's the trendy language.

Right? But multi-ethnic

multi-generational, right? We want multi at every level.

But here's the one that we haven't been able to handle, Is

multi. Religion.

Without compromising our truth. Do you know what it takes to

handle? All Nations Under One Roof.

Can't be no power tripping. It's got to be order.

It can't be them insecurities at the top of leadership there has

to be nothing but pure love because at the end of the day

that is the that is the only thing that is going to give

Heaven a chance to transform people's hearts.

Not my Doctrine. Not my theology.

Not how many years? I went to school?

None of that is got no one in this room.

Can change a man's heart. No one can change someone from

being one gender preference to another gender preference.

One religion that they grew up in, to be in, to be in there,

putting it, being at risk of their family, disowning them.

No one can can push people to that place, except the Holy

Spirit. So, there has to be a place

where God can dwell his Agape, not religion, but his agape.

And there's enough confidence to say, man, you can bring whatever

you want to bring in here. We won't compromise.

I'm talking about the pimp, The Prostitute, the murderer, I

don't care and you start saying those names.

Religion starts rising up. Well, what are we at church for

what are we at church for if we're not believing for all?

All right. He says, and ask for The

Outsiders. What that say Come on talk to me

but that's a who now follow me working for me.

Loving my name and wanting to be my servants man.

This sounds like this sounds like this sounds like he says,

Outsiders who now follow me there are so many people out.

There is like yep I believe you'll Jesus walk this Earth.

I believe in God, I just got a few questions.

I believe in a little bit of everything.

So, they follow the word but there's a lot of confusion and

doing everything. Okay, that's why you got to be

clear. You are who you say you are.

That's why David he said, lukewarm ain't gon do it for me

because I need clear representation, okay?

He says, working for me, loving my name, how people going to

fall in love with his name because the people that carry

it, make it lovable, And waiting to be my servants, they are

waiting. There's people waiting for the

opportunity to serve God. Oh, this is why we do

basketball. This is why we are going to do

multiple Sports. We don't have a sports ministry,

right? We're gonna get into volleyball,

we gonna get into some hike, we don't get it but you know I'm

saying, we don't get into some sports, not a bunch.

We're not going have a whole Athletic program.

We just gonna do a couple of the sports.

We can really compete in and we write and this who are we going

to have cafes? And this is why we're doing

because we have to create spaces for all nations to be involved.

So are we have a music studio? The oh this is why we have

multimedia space. This is why we're going to have

after school program. This why are we gonna get

involved in certain things like that?

Because we have to make a home. This is where he say, I'm

preparing a place. Said, I'll bring them to my holy

mountain. Look And give them joy in my

house of prayer. Where will people find joy?

Not in church, not in religion, but Decon find it in his house

of prayer. Not in a building that praise

But in a house of prayer, everything is because our

prayer, the walls are sticky with prayer.

When you walk on the property, you like, oh, somebody been

praying in the House of Prayer, God always shows up, it ain't

hit her Miss. It's always a fire word.

It's always a fire worship set. It's always some fire They'll be

welcome to worship the same. What'd he say, what'd he say?

What'd he say, what'd he say? What'd he say, The Outsiders

will be welcome to worship like the Insiders.

Maybe it's only on this screen. Let's see if it's a the same

thing on this screen. Okay.

You know, my holiday, I'll be welcome the words of the same.

You say the same thing over here.

They'll be welcome to worship the same so we can't do bougie

up in here like oh there's my house.

No this my father's house as I say in my father's house has

many rooms. There's many places, there's

there's many chairs for every people.

I am Everyday People. That was that?

What was that? What was that was a They from

the bay, huh? Every day people the other day

from the be stop playing with me.

Everyday people. No, no, no.

We don't need a microphone if he put it down.

Listen, so I know, but I'm just trying to think of the group.

Arrested Development. That's what we that's a word.

I don't think the Lord wanted the tune.

He wanted the name of the group. Right.

He wanted, he wanted to under he wanted you to understand.

That's the season. You been in arrested

development's. You know what I'm saying?

You've been arrested for developments.

You ain't been looked over. You been arrested for

developing, you ain't Miss Showtime.

You've been arrested for development?

Yes, sir. He'll be welcome to worship the

same. These are in to bring burnt

offerings, that's right. Why when we do communion see, I

grew up in the church. Where if you wouldn't save, you

can't take communion like God. It's gonna be mad at you at the

worst. God gonna be like, well, Jehovah

McKay, just couldn't thank the fight, you'll juice.

We just drinking juice up in here at the end of the day so

I'm like it's my job to tell you what you're doing and if you

want to partake in a holy moment then God must be doing something

in your heart. I'm just letting you know this

juice represent the blood of Jesus and this cracker

represents. I shouldn't say it like that.

This wafer, these fish. Can you say that these fish?

These fish represents the body of Jesus.

And the reason we take this juice in this wafer is because

it represents us acknowledging that we need a savior to forgive

our sins. And when we take this juice in

this bread, it represents us admitting the fact that he is

our Lord. He's our savior, he died for us.

He rose for us. And that by his stripes, we are

healed, and not the sick. And because of his blood, we

have been forgiven. Now, if you want to take this

communion under that understanding, then you are free

to join us. How you gonna let somebody come

who is looking for Jesus or stumbled on Jesus, come in the

house. And you gonna say this?

The part you can't do. Come on.

See we got to be confident enough in who we are and who we

are that we don't have to put our insecurities out there and

think God is so small or not big enough to handle other people's

insufficiencies or errors. They'll be welcome to Worship in

the green army. Oh yes, my house of worship will

be known as a House of Prayer, man.

There you go again. A house of prayer for all

people. And that's one thing that we

have across the line is every religion has a form of Prayer.

Is in this a lot of major religions that take prayer, sick

more serious than us, you know, it's going to be a good gauge of

our growth is our participation in prayer next year.

If you can't sacrifice time to pray with the people you call,

too. Prayer is, what's about to give

birth to the greatest hardest Harvest.

This region is never ever seen. And with our Apostolic

responsibilities, were not just called to pray for what happens

in this house, but we're also called to pray and intercede on

behalf of the city. Yes, he has been turning over

tables of segregation in the church preparing a table for all

nations. I have row tables and he said,

erase it because it's going to be one table for all people.

Acts one, he said to them. It is not for you to become

acquainted with and know what time brings the things and

events of time in their definite periods or fix years and Seasons

their critical niche in time. Which the father has appointed

fixed and reserved by his own choice and authority.

And personal power is not our responsibility to be fixated

when he coming back. It's our job to be fixated on

being ready. And it's not just our job for us

to get us ready. But we have a responsibility to

feed his sheep. In other words, get his people

ready, right? There's makeup artist in the

body of Christ, there's hair stylist.

In the value when you thinking of getting a bride, ready?

There's all kinds of stuff cracking to get a bride ready.

The bride ain't just focus on herself.

There's people that are assigned to get the bride ready, that's

the equipping of the church. I put some makeup on your little

chicken pox. But here's what he said, but you

shall receive what power question.

Have you received it? He did his part.

Have you received it? I have you received.

I'm anointed told the worship team direct before they came

out, man. Look love.

What it? What I say, love, love causes

you to bloom. So if you walk on this stage

timet, it speaks to a lack of Revelation that you are loved

and anointed because love causes one to bloom think of when you

show love to a plant, think of what you should when you show

love to your interior and your car.

Do you don't say anything? You truly love on.

It blooms. So if you're truly Allowing God

to love on you, you should be blooming, you should be

blooming, say, blue me. Look at your neighbor and say Ru

blooming, because I'm blooming. But you shall receive power

ability. Efficiency in Mike, what is

ability, efficiency? Might look like it's means your

blooming when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall

be my what Witnesses in Jerusalem in all Judea and

Samaria. And To The Ends, the very

bounds. We can't be a global church.

If we don't have a house that represents the globe The Holy

Spirit helps us. Prepare a place and prey fish.

Antley and pray effectively and pray fervently.

In order to see the Kingdom's Mission come to pass and to

establish on Earth as it is in heaven.

The Holy Spirit helps us prepare a place.

And pray efficiently, effectively and fervently.

In order to see the Kingdom's Mission come to pass and

establish on Earth as it is. In heaven, say as it is in

heaven. James 5 says, are there any

believers in your fellowship suffering?

Great hardship and distress. Oh, what's the answer?

Encourage them to pray. Oh, so you don't need to call

nobody. We need to call you and tell

you, if you discourage what the Bible say, tell them to pray

this what the Bible said, I didn't take nothing out.

I didn't have nothin to it. It said, if anyone is in

hardship or distress, encourage them to pray.

Tell me when I go pray with you, it just says, you don't have to

pray to get out of your hardship.

Are there happy people? Among you encourage them to sing

out. I love how they say encourage

them to sing. It says Sing Out, sing out

there. What Praises are there any sick?

Among you then ask the Elders of the church to come and pray over

the sick and anoint them with oil in the name of our Lord, I

wanted to get to this part of not just encourage them to pray,

but this is the main part. here, I want to get to I want to get

to if there's any sick among you Okay, call the Elders and I

wanted to bring some light on this.

The Elder part speaks to something greater.

This is very important for us to get, share some Revelation for

you. Let me go over and the prayer of

faith will heal the sick and the Lord will raise them up, and if

they have committed sins, they will be forgiven.

Let's go back. It says, if there's any sick

among you Get the Elders of the church.

So the elders in this context speaks more about the the right

of the, the standing fellowship or belonging the sick one has

let me explain. When we say Elders, we say call

the pastors and when you call the pastors, or the Elders of

the church. They have been anointed to

oversee a group of people. If there's any sick among you

call the Elders to pray for the sick among you and here's where

many people fall. Sick, discourage troubled.

We had a text message coming in other day and somebody was like

you think I was mad if I kill myself and this is this was

somebody who came here. This is somebody who was

delivered here. And this is somebody who got

offended or loud. Someone who was offended to pull

them away and now they came back there seven times stronger. her

and what people don't understand is, when you break fellowship

and come from under the ship, You walk away.

It's like walking away from your insurance plan because you like

all really need that right now. Ain't been sick and so long and

then something happened and you go to the hospital and they say

where you got your insurance. Like, no, I don't got it.

He got to pay out of pocket. Is why is varied is why the

enemy is always trying to pull people away from places they're

called and he'll use people that love you.

He'll try to discourage you because some people don't want

to be at church. It's why you can't depend on

nobody to go. You have to go yourself.

Do not ever get pulled from under your covering because

there is power. There is healing.

There is something available for you in this.

This is an insurance plan. This God has has a plan for us.

That's what he says. Do not neglect, the Gathering of

the Saints like some make a habit of doing.

It is not good to pull away from the body because that's where

the enemy has his clearest Target on your life.

And then what happens? You come back and you want

prayer from a people. You are like, oh I know, I know

I've been gone. I'm so sorry.

And it ain't the prayer that won't work, but it's a

disconnection that takes place and in your own mind, there's

condemnation you got to fight against all of this stuff is why

you should never put your mouth on the people that God has

called to cover you. It works against you and then

you got to come and be faking got to ask for prayer and

blessing and then you you, but you Receive it because you don't

have the soil to receive it. You just hit and when you put

your mouth on people, that's called to cover you.

You actually eat away at your safety net.

Well, you can't. God Only God can fool God.

Puts this stuff in order. So, if you really believe God

gonna cover you, you going to have to do things the way he

said, do it. So you can't be covered.

Why are you go? You won't help in an emergency

room or you won't help in the hospital.

Guess what? You laugh.

Don't care how much you don't like waiting.

You don't have to go in there and check in Hallelujah.

And then he says this and I think this is a little bit for

tonight. I don't know what we're going to

deal with tonight, but it says, if there's someone who, who has

committed sin, pray for them in their sin will be forgiven.

There are some sickness Isis, that are a result of sin nature,

not necessarily cuz you said, but the the fruit of the nature

of sin, right? If you've opened doors for

spirits to come in and demonic entities to come in and you've

opened your mind up to certain things in your life and trouble

is now, you know, there's a dis ease in your soul.

What he tells us is that has to become a part of your

deliverance. There has to become confession.

It doesn't say, it says go and confess to others, but not not.

Let me let me be clear, ain't anybody?

Find the Elder, find someone you could trust and say, amen.

I I open this door snitch. On the enemy.

Take responsibility and say I'm open this door because until you

this is the think about it in the real court system when

they're interrogating. Somebody, you know, I watch

First 48. I think I told you all this a

few times. But the man that is it or the

woman that is doing interrogation, they say.

They always say if you, if you just say it, you'll feel better

just in a practical sense. And there's something about when

someone holds in a sin, how it eats away at their soul.

And that thing opens the door to this ease stress, condemnation,

anxiety. And now you're called to how

something. Here you go, the tree of the

knowledge of Good and Evil you're holding onto knowledge.

You were never created to hold. I don't got time for that right

there. I don't got time for that one

right there. We going to pick up on Ephesians

6 tonight. I think I'm gonna end with Chaka

Khan Ephesians 6, + S temp 2 Corinthians 10.

We going to pick up there but I just want to I just want to

we're going to talk about some weapons tonight.

I think we're going to have a great time tonight because we

gonna shoot some stuff down the weapons of our Warfare are tube.

Bring us to completion and wholeness you you ready?

You ready because when you ready for this, you ready for this?

Okay, the weapons of our Warfare are to bring us to completion

and wholeness. I'm a read it one more time.

Okay, every weapon that God has given us is meant to bring us to

completion and wholeness. Coping is not a weapon.

It's a posture of surrender. You do not need a weapon to

cope. You just need to surrender this

how it's going to be and I just need to get through it.

The weapons that God gives us is for completion and to bring us

the wholeness coping is not a weapon.

We have to understand that we are dealing with double trouble.

There's two battlefields, there's a natural Battlefield,

and a spiritual battle field and we deal with these fields

through intercessory prayer and The Binding of strongholds, what

is a stronghold strongholds are lies?

That Satan has built into our minds or the minds of people

cities. And governments like a fort

which he protects. This is how he protects by

convincing you to believe them and protect them.

So when somebody's asking you to change your ways and you

stubborn about it, that is a fourth, the enemy.

When you find yourself resisting the word in church and always

reflecting in it deflecting in and always reasoning in

questioning why he said that it There's a Ford in your mind that

gives the enemy permission to do his work.

This is why he says be transformed by the renewing.

You got to take down some of these forts in your mind.

Convincing you to believe and protect City strongholds.

You find them in leadership business.

Religion, a cult fatherlessness and ungodly families.

This is why we're talking about this word push because this is

where the battle intensifies, right?

When the baby is about to come out.

Hey, y'all gonna follow me? Cause we gonna close on this, on

this one. We will close on this idea.

Okay. Now, any parent that just gave

birth or having you can tell me bad, that ain't High to happen

pastor, but at least give me a little Grace.

Let me, let me play with you know, saying, let me let me mess

around a little bit and if you just let me be all wrong before

you correct me. But I can, you can you can give

me a signal. Just remember, these are

strongholds. We will attack some of these

tonight. thought patterns in ways that the that have been set

up in our minds and we protected and we bring people around us

that affirm these thought patterns and we stay away from

people that think the opposite or try to push us for moms.

Okay. There's the battlefields and we

are in a season where we are on the battlefield where we have to

fight, and we got to push, we got to work, we got a build, so

there's the battlefields and there's the bird thing.

I want to talk about this one space.

I want to end with this one area of birthing called the

transition. This is the most painful but

shortest phase. Follow me, this is the

transition time this is oh it's on it's a it's on and cracking

this is that time this is where I remember I was playing cards

with with PJ. This is our first kid and she's

like ooh Did the water go? It's time to go.

We had our bags packed and we went to the hospital and I said,

oh my God, my life is about to change.

You notice how you can still mess around a little bit as long

as the baby was in the womb, but there does come a time where the

Lord says transition time. Whether you ready, whether you

like it or not, ready or not, I'm about to push something out

into your life and you don't have an interesting.

I still was drinking and smoking and partying.

When we had our first kid and they came upon June 7th, June

June of 2007. I had to make a man decision and

say I can't live the same, and if I'm not going to live the

same, I can't think the same. I cannot pass these thought

patterns on, and these forts on to my children and they are

imparted. Mind you, it's already in your

DNA transfer. Trauma has been transferred

through your blood cells. Alright.

Alright, right. If you are stressful, you

stressful person when you was pregnant, all that anxiety.

And stress has been transferred if I can get children.

So different You diet change on the third baby?

Watch how your kid, come on. All right, let me, let me let me

finish okay. The last phase of the birthing

transition, it's the most painful, but it's the shortest

phase. I had the doctor hose on my leg

last week. And that thing feel funny.

It's just grabbing my muscles. Somebody said now, you know how

it feels when a woman had contractions, okay?

Okay, I can see that you felt weird but the body is also

ready. Ready?

It displace. The body is preparing to push.

It don't matter if you want to push are not just biologically.

Scientific. You are going to push.

This is where its most painful short is face.

The body is preparing to push. This is where the temptation to

give up is at its highest. The signal, the baby has dropped

into the birth. Canal is position to come into

the world. Okay.

This is just track, this is a lot happening in this transition

period short painful but it's a lot baby drops into position

ready to it's in the canal. This is when you come on you use

all the sermons we've been to all the Declarations over the

last few years. We're at that prophetic word and

it said after that shit, that that cloud D season.

Here Comes This king tide. And what I'm telling you is, the

Harvest is, it's in the burp. It's in the birth canal like

that. I'm trying to help you get

ready. Because you do not want to flop

or drop or mess up this blessing in your life.

This blessing that you're about to walk in over the next few

years, it is going to radically change, your generation, your

your, your your, your bloodline, I'm trying to tell you, God is

about to push some stuff in your life that your parents ain't

never seen nor was a able to even imagine to pray for, he is

about to radically. Radically do away with poverty,

he's about to do away with with, with with curses, he's about to

do away with health stuff. That was in your bloodline

middle stuff. I'm trying to tell you, you

gotta get ready cuz you not gonna identify it.

If you don't listen to this word, it ain't it ain't by go is

coming. No, is in the canal.

The water has broken. The body is fully dilated in the

words. I can't do this anymore.

You might hear you might feel. And I know I've talked to some

people and this season is like, what else I'm gonna do?

I can't, I don't know if I'm fit for this time.

I don't know. I think I've come as far I've

had one of those moments in the last year.

I'm like, God did I this week? But that was that cloudy season

in the in the in the in the prophetic word.

God, if I come to the end, there are some people in here where

you like, I don't know if I could do this any longer, but

the Those are often words heard from a mama in transition.

This is when the woman begins to doubt her ability to go on.

I know we got a whole lot of super women are just like you

just come on, pop out baby but some let me just tell you the

average woman. She gonna do some pushing kudos

to all you women. You just popped out the baby or

didn't, he know C-section. And then, my wife had three on

It Ain't Easy. well, here's one of these things you have to

learn this, the good news when you can't, Do it on your own, no

more. That is good news because he

says, after you've done all, you can do stand here, I come right

hand, it frustrating. When you walk around the

hospital and you want the doctor to just, I'm ready to try this

to come out, and the doctor tell you can't.

It's no point for you to come in, until it's this time.

This period mom is the most emotionally needed and energy at

his lowest is where you can't do nothing, right?

They don't want to hear you. Come on baby.

You got it baby. But then they telling you why?

You ain't saying the right thing.

What you want. Don't hug me like that.

Take a picture. Take a picture all over the

place. I know some of you, your

emotions have been all over the place.

You've been feeling strong, you've been feeling mighty,

you've been feeling like a fighter and there's been moments

where you've been feeling so low.

So we so desperate so ready, Sofie?

So fatigued. This is where all the coaching

and all the cheering and all the support.

I know it says useless, but the point is is at this point.

You're only concerned about birthing this thing.

NG so people in your ear, come on, you can't you don't want to

hear it. That's why you only have limited

people in the room with you. People.

You really love is in the Roman this, for a moment, the uncle

called the know, I was the only one in the room.

Even my wife mama was not in the room.

I was the only one in the room and I was just, I was just

holding her, and I was quiet. When she look for me, I'll I'm

right here, babe. I'm right here, right?

Listen, this is Marc. This is so important.

More medication at this point won't work.

It's not enough time for it to kick in.

Okay. At this point, you got what you

got. God has prepared you and you

have to use everything. God is giving you to push.

This is where the supernatural has to kick in while you push

out. This is where.

We hold on the scriptures, like be not weary in well-doing.

And well-being. This is where we believe his

grace is sufficient. This is the part where we stand

and believe, Watch and Pray, praise and worship.

This is a place where scriptures, we recall where it

says. Now, please let the power of the

master expand enlarge itself greatly along the lines.

You have laid out earlier when you said, right?

This is the place where we say, Lord enlarge my territory, This

is the place where we hear scriptures like sing barren

woman who has never had a baby and Lauren's, like, that's

weird, but this is what he said. Some of y'all thought y'all

didn't had some good times in life and thought you'd been

blessed in thought you did man. What God is about to do?

You have never experienced this kind of Joy?

You've never experienced this type of level of blessing.

He says, feel the air with song You who've never experienced.

Child birth to this point. You have Been living off of

Grandmama's and daddies and the things they have birth.

God says, he's about to cause you to burp.

Some stuff for your own in this season.

You got to birth your own faith, your own piece, your own Joy,

you've got to stand on your own two feet.

He says, you're ending up with a far more children than all those

children childbearing women. All the people you've Envy, you

watched, how they've had peace, you watch how they've had

health, you've watched, how they've had a sound mind, you

watch how they've been blessed. You've watched a marriages, you

watch them but he was saying man.

No need to end because you are about to give birth too far

greater looking at other people businesses you looking at it.

He says do not worry. God says, so, so this is what he

says, clear lots of ground for your tents.

What is our job in this harvest season?

Love quest. You've done it.

He said, in large, your tip. He made me.

You think we just got one now. We need another ten know we need

another ten. I come on, walk around, but no,

we need another tent. We need to put as many chances,

we can't, because he says, I will feel as many chances you

put out. He says, make your tents large,

he says spread out. He says think big he says use

plenty of rope and he says Drive the tent pegs deep, why?

Why they gotta go deep? Because there's going to be some

weighty stuff, coming your life. It's where he says you're going

to need lots of Elbow Room for your growing family.

You're going to take over whole Nations, you're going to

resettle abandoned cities, wildly come on.

Now you're going to resettle abandoned cities.

He says don't be afraid, you're not going to be embarrassed,

you're not gonna be embarrassed for declaring and decree and

standing and believing in serving and crying and sewing

your seat. You will not go in Paris for a

start suffering publicly for for being sick publicly for breaking

down publicly. Continuously going, you will not

be embarrassed. Don't hold back.

Keep It Coming. Keep It Coming.

Keep it coming. You're not going to come up,

short. Keep it coming.

You'll forget all about the humiliations of your Youth and

the indignity that indignities of being a widow will fade from

your memory. There's some things that God is

Bout to eradicate from your memory.

There's some pains that you once experienced, you will have the

memory without the pain, I'm declaring it.

Now you will have the memory without the pain.

You will have the fight without the delay.

You have, you will have the finances with the wisdom.

You will not be humiliated. He will show your family.

It will be all worth it. It will be all worth it.

So I says, forget about what's happened.

Don't keep going over all history, be alert, be present,

I'm about to do something brand-new and your life and it's

bursting out. Do you see it?

There it is. I'm making a road through the

desert and rivers in the Badlands.

He says, put on faith, like Jay bass in have a daring prayer

life and say, that's jay-bez was more honorable than his

brothers, but his mother named him jay-bez saying because I

gave birth to him and pain. You have been birthing pain.

For some years, you have been birthing pain.

You were burst out of pain. Who am I talking to your

parents? When they birthed you, they got

together because of some pain. You were burst in pain. when you

were raised through pain and Laura says, I'm about to change

your name and jay-bez in the midst of his pain.

He didn't just go through pain. He was called pain.

Your pain will not Mark you whoever that for your pain will

not Mark you, your messed-up childhood will not Mark, you how

the enemy is destroying and messing with your family?

I'm telling you. Yes it sucks.

But this is a survivor's guilt. You will have to carry but it

will be a survivor's Victory. We come against the guilt as

much as you want to help your family.

God is saying, I has chosen you I have called you from amongst

them and I need you to go forward jay-bez.

Cried out to God of Israel saying oh that you would indeed

bless me and enlarge my Border. And that's your hand would be

with me. You would keep me from Evil so

that it does not hurt me. And it said, God, granted his

request. This passionate prayer.

This is fervent prayer. This is the prayer of faith.

What is the prayer of faith? Is your praying?

What? God has already said, what?

He's already given you. God is calling us to Faith.

He's calling us to believing. He's calling us to a daring

season. And I'll say this and we'll

pray. You gave birth.

To AC some of you've been like God, but you promised healing,

you, you've promised this and you've promised that.

But I feel strongly that he, you gave birth to a seed that is now

about to give birth to a promise.

And to give birth to that seed, you experienced pain and

frustrations and delay. And you've even want to God.

What about me? I know that's you in this room.

You said God, what about my healing?

I see what you did in the word. But what about me?

And Lord says, it was through those questions that developed

desperation and curiosity. Say the thing about a child is

they are curious and he you and when we get older, we lose our

curiosity with God. But the Lord says I need some

people. That's curious.

I need some people. That's hungry and thirsty.

For my move. Some things are birthed in

sorrow. Playing as contractions.

Let me help you out Troy for some of the people in here that

are thinking about all that they've been through.

If it wasn't for the pain, you wouldn't have never pushed I

don't care if it's been a year. Two years, three years, five

years, ten years. But what you have been

experiencing more than pain as contractions But the fact that

you are here shows that, you know, how to push the Lord, says

one more push, just one last push.

This is the push that will push you over.

This is the blessing with no sorrow season.

It's his favor and it's his wisdom and it's a protection,

it's his abundance. It's his ability.

Who were talking about his Blessing.

It's his grace, it's his Joy. It's his freedom.

It's his piece all resting upon you, and whatever you put your

hands to. This is the season.

Were you experience being empowered by heaven?

It's the season, you will be empowered by God, backed by

heaven. Your job is to be still, it's to

allow the purging its obedience its faithfulness.

But as a church family, we are about to see.

The mighty one move. I would get into it right now

but I have several scriptures that will get into tonight.

About the blessing that is up on our lives and these scriptures

are scriptures that we have to keep in our mouths and confess

and pray over this next season. I don't know about you, but I am

so ready and I do I do not want to confuse you.

Me being thirsty. And hungry.

For what's to come is not a sign that God has not already blessed

me. But what I'm saying, though?

is there is there is something he's bringing that's in sign in

Wonder form. It's in.

It's in evidence form. Yeah, you got your car, you got

your house, you got healthy kids.

That's that's cool. But I'm Tom.

I did some stuff that shouldn't have made it in your life.

Right? It's some testimonies that only

God can get the glory. It's some God stuff about to

take place. Now, some you worked hard stuff.

And I'm excited to see all the babies, all the babies, that's

about to be birthed. Just lift your hands, Right

Where You Are. It's just you and the Lord right

now. I don't need to say anything.

I've said enough, just you and the Lord right now.

Just you and the Lord right now. I want you to see yourself

Transitioning. From your dry season.

To your opulence ease. I want you to see yourself

trading, your Sorrows for joy. This is the day of salvation.

And here's the one part that I think the Lord is asking us to

lay down right now, is one specific part, one specific

part. The Lord is saying, for some of

us it seems like we're God is calling us to It's pulling us

away from people, we love. I don't know who that's for.

It's it. If there's a maturity taken

place, there's a different mindset taking place.

And you're like, well how am I going to go forward?

Like I don't want to leave people behind.

I don't wanna Laura saying, I got all of that, he's not

physically asking you to separate from people.

But there is a maturity that is naturally causing you causing

healthy separation. Jesus had to pull away from his

parents so he can draw close to us.

Right. Our kids.

I got a 17 year old daughter about to go to college.

That's healthy separation. And so the Lord says, is we're

using this this analogy of birthing.

For some of you, it is time to cut the umbilical cord.

Your loved ones will be better for it.

It is time to cut the umbilical cord for some of you that means

you can't let them depend on you the same way and you can't be

there the same way. You can be there for them but

it's time to mature your provision.

Because God is saying, as you are pulling away from them,

seemingly you're making more room for me in their lives.

You've planted you've blessed. Now, the Lord Now, that you've

been obedient and he's used you in their lives, there's a little

bit of Separation required for the next level of your

relationship. There's new Gardens to tend to

there's new souls to nurture. There's new relationships.

To pour into. There's also new people, you

need to let in your life to pour into your life.

So just take the next 60 seconds, see that umbilical

cord. And here's the thing, you're

going to experience a little bit of grieving because there was

some dependency on that relationship.

But as much as I'm kind of like, I'm not really freaked out, but

I'm like the thought of my daughter just going away.

I'm just like, I want to keep offering.

Hey baby, you know, home is always available for you but

it's like I want to I want to protect.

I want to make sure she got a church home.

I want to make sure but isn't God big enough?

Oh, I know we going to link back up for purpose.

I see that I know that but sometime God is saying can you

just let them go for me for a little bit?

I gave them to you so you can give them back.

Surrender, Your mom surrender, your dad Surrender, Your

Children, surrender, your co-workers, what whoever it is.

Lastly, the Lord says, thank you.

For being a firm example. For that.

Loved one. For some of you you've been the

new thing in their life that God is doing because religion is

gotten them on that old-time thing.
