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. Can you put a mark to real
-
quick? Mark to real quick.
-
Thank you, Jesus. That I can feel cold.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Feel a little colder than they
-
do on a Sunday. I know that we got the heater on
-
the Anna heater in here. I don't know how that's
-
happening. It's just super cold.
-
I guess what? Amen.
-
That's why I'm praising my get warm crazy.
-
There we go. There we go.
-
And Jesus. Having returned.
-
See. See what happens.
-
Amen. And Jesus, having returned to
-
Capernaum after some days, it was rumored about that.
-
He was in the house. Period.
-
How many people? No, there was rumors that Jesus
-
is in the house. How many times we?
-
Oh, I heard Jesus was passing by, or I heard Jesus, is, at
-
Peter's house, you know how it is.
-
When LeBron James could just be having coffee somewhere in
-
Vancouver and then it goes viral, he in town.
-
What did you tell somebody Jesus is that love quest?
-
That ain't viral. I asked you.
-
If Jesus am here, where is he? And then if you think he ain't
-
here, then then how you know, he is where you think he is.
-
After some days, it was rumored about that.
-
He was in the house. I just had a meeting with his
-
young Pastor. He's part of very prominent
-
church here locally. And then by God's grace, they
-
just stumbled on planting a church.
-
A church was Pastor was looking to retire.
-
And they wanted to hand the church over.
-
It was about 30 older people in the church.
-
So the church was kind of on its ended.
-
He just happened to be. Available and within a month's
-
time. He's now took over a church and
-
brought the people that he was kind of leading what.
-
He's part of very, very, very, very, very very, very, very,
-
very, very, very prominent church here in British Columbia,
-
we're just meeting a few minutes ago, Hand.
-
From the outside looking in. He says, man, don't you guys
-
stop doing what you doing, there's nothing like it.
-
He said I'm extremely encouraged by what you guys doing.
-
Because not many people are willing to take the risk.
-
To be them. He wants to come, he's learning
-
from us. And it is a part of him that
-
have to rip away from where he was, because his Charisma was
-
not allowed to be released. He wanted to be a part.
-
He had five fold Ministry Revelation at him and where he
-
was, it was just teacher. He also said, his wife had a
-
disease and one day they were praying and reading the Bible
-
and they read about a woman that God healed and she got angry and
-
said, why not me? It's one thing to teach about
-
someone being healed. It's another thing to activate,
-
The now move of God. It's a reason I mention that is
-
because as people from Love quest, the worst thing you could
-
do is get too familiar with the gift.
-
You are part of Because there's people I will never admit man.
-
I will never ever ever let anybody get the blessing that
-
I'm supposed to have especially if they don't live here.
-
I tell my kids all the time and I tell God while I'm living I'm
-
getting every blessing. I'm not handing nothing to my
-
kids. When I say I'm not handing
-
nothing to my kids. I'm setting them up but I'm not
-
passing on nothing to them that I was supposed to get.
-
No, even when I'm on the ball court malachite not gonna
-
out-hustle and play me. I know it BB it would be
-
accepted because he the young one.
-
No, I'm not handing over the hoop pill to my son and I'm I'm
-
almost 20 years older than this brother.
-
You're not about to outplay me as long as I'm lacing them up.
-
I'm not giving out freebies, I'm aware of the ability.
-
I still have listened. I pull my little hamstring.
-
What you doing? JT plane, taking some good
-
notes. I pulled my hamstring.
-
I pulled my right knee pulling. Right.
-
And it is funny because my my thing swollen you're swollen.
-
Whoa and this is I'm getting better but it's still got his
-
core spot. All right, I'm gonna get
-
straight tonight. After service, I got the dr-ho's
-
thing that I'm doing some sessions, I'm icing and I'm
-
heating. I'm stretching, I just went and
-
bought some core shorts, anybody know, core shorts are, right.
-
They pulling everything together, like a like a girdle.
-
This is like a man who girdle. Right?
-
A pulling everything together. It works.
-
Good for the Lord. Amen.
-
Right pulling all that together. I got me some some, some some
-
Mount pulling it. All together.
-
There is not even a thought. In my mind, I'm not playing It's
-
not even a thought. In my mind either, I'm not.
-
I'm just one trick that I gots to be healed.
-
I gots to be better. When I'm down here on my knees.
-
This is how I fight. I'm not thinking about my
-
hamstring. Oh, it hurt.
-
Yes, but where I'm going to get it healed in this posture.
-
Right? And I think we contemplate way
-
too much for we throw ourselves at the altar, what does that
-
have to do with anything? Women.
-
There's nothing, you will try to achieve that.
-
You can't that you're not supposed to throw your entire
-
self at. Here's another thing.
-
He said, he said I was looking at you guys page and I saw you
-
guys post something about Soul winning.
-
He said, please keep that up. Nobody talking about that.
-
He said you guys are onto something.
-
Oh man. See what I don't want is people
-
to be like the Pharisees who killed the savior.
-
They were to actually waiting for because they couldn't see.
-
He was present. And I'm just trying to always
-
tell y'all if you was really in Jesus presence.
-
How would you act like be honest, if Jesus walked through
-
those doors. Like, let's take our mind there.
-
Let's act like he ain't here. If Jesus walked through those
-
doors. However, you see him long hair,
-
blonde, whatever you. He is if he walked through them
-
doors. What would you do?
-
Honestly, what would you do if Jesus walked in the room?
-
Anybody talk to anybody? Huh.
-
Huh? You would run to him if he
-
walked in the room. Okay, that's how it is, huh?
-
You would be wide-eyed and mystified You'll be too stuck to
-
speak. You would be too stunned to
-
speak saying you would be speechless.
-
What about you Vanessa? Tickle tickle.
-
Excited. You be crying.
-
What about ujt? You'll give him the biggest hug.
-
Huh, you be on your knees. Would you like tell him?
-
Thank you or Huh. You skip everything.
-
You would ask everything if you would ask everything.
-
All right, good luck. Hey man.
-
Anybody else you jumping over everybody?
-
That's what I'm talking about. That's how it was.
-
That's how it was when the guy laying at the pool.
-
Shit, everybody kept jumping over them when the pool startup,
-
right? All right, another question.
-
What stops you from that reaction today?
-
Because what you're just telling me is that who Jesus Is In This
-
Moment. He's not that he's somewhere
-
else. Right.
-
So you're saying, you need that physical.
-
You need a, you need a man. You like he needs something
-
physical to walk in here, right? So, here's the, here's the
-
thing. If you don't notice him, now,
-
you wouldn't even notice him if he walked in a body.
-
Right? If you understand who killed
-
him, it was people who read he was coming, but they didn't
-
notice him because they thought he was coming in, Royal clothes,
-
and he came in on a donkey. He came in and swaddling
-
clothes. He came in in a Manger.
-
So might I challenge you that you don't even know who you
-
looking for. Because he's actually here.
-
And he ain't no more here now than he would be if he walked
-
in, you ready for this? He ain't no more here now than
-
when he shows up to get his church.
-
It's just the day, he show up to get his church.
-
He's putting a finality to it and we going to go back with him
-
but he is here right now like he's here right now.
-
He can't get no mo here. So it's what you're saying?
-
What we're saying when we say he's, he you're saying so who's
-
the Jesus in you then? How do we say, wow, how we be
-
wide-eyed? How do we be speech speechless?
-
How do you keep running to the altar?
-
Talk to me. I think I'm part of the church's
-
job is we heighten the awareness that he's alive. so, if we still
-
looking for him, If we ain't found it, then how can we invite
-
them? Because he told them this in the
-
Bible, in Matthew 12. I think he says, what are you
-
looking for the kingdom for it's within you.
-
So, when I'm telling you, you're great, it's not about feeling
-
great. It's about knowing greatness is
-
in you. Now you partnering with the
-
greatness in you but he's here. Guess this cool thing about him.
-
He's here when it's cold. He's here when it's hot.
-
He's here. Chaka Khan.
-
And this is where our faith needs to increase.
-
The woman with the issue of blood did not experience his
-
presence until she Drew to his presence.
-
He said, come unto me all you that are heavy laden and eat you
-
noticing. If you resist the enemy and draw
-
near to me, it's all invitations for you to come but our posture
-
is we're waiting for him to walk in the room.
-
So my my question to you is if you saved Then, who did you
-
bring with you if he ain't here yet?
-
This is what meditators tried. This is what meditation and
-
meditators try to get us to do is be in the moment.
-
He is present. He is here, right?
-
Let me tell you something. I came out here, I came from the
-
car into the room changed really quick.
-
I came straight out here while straight on the platform.
-
And then how do we get to Arnie's?
-
How does pastor ticket to his knees?
-
Is it? Because the father saw Jesus, Is
-
it cuz he was sitting here on a big kingly chair with his long
-
hair. How did I get there?
-
How did we get here? How do we get so stirred up?
-
How we get that? I want to touch him and I want
-
him to touch me and that's what the woman with the issue of
-
blood. Says, if I could just touch him,
-
what's in him? Will touch me.
-
She did say, somebody please send Jesus to my house.
-
She said, if I could just Touch the Hem of His Garment, I will
-
be made healed and made whole because there's something on him
-
that I have to get to. And so was simply has to happen.
-
Is we have to go towards him. Father, we bless you.
-
That that's not me. Anointed.
-
That's not me. Being compelled by the Holy
-
Ghost. That's me being hungry.
-
Lord, I love you. It's no different than a
-
football. Team in the locker room.
-
Getting ready to pump, they self up to come out, they work
-
themselves up to do some absolutely crazy and run into
-
each other. And then before, you know it,
-
when you're stirring yourself up and you take your mind off of
-
stuff, you take your mind, off a cold, you take your mind off of
-
back hurt before, you know it, I'm on my knees are like, oh, I
-
forgot my hamstring is injured. So, do I go back to But I'm down
-
here. So who has Authority my
-
hamstring or what I'm after? See you think you want you
-
healing and transformation takes?
-
Intentionality, not the Holy Ghost.
-
Holy Ghost, helps you. But he says after you've done
-
all you can do, then you can sit there and stand and be and be
-
expect a and saying God where you at?
-
Cause I've done everything, the one with the issue of blood says
-
man on his spent everything but but it's one more thing.
-
I really didn't get desperate after and that's Jesus.
-
I'm about to risk my life. You thought last Wednesday was
-
last Wednesday, but God's calling.
-
This To that posture. I'm feeling so strong and
-
something shifted in me last week.
-
I want Jesus so bad without him. I'm a mess.
-
And that's the reality. That drives me is that I can't
-
be the husband on call to be. Without him driving.
-
I can't be the pastor. I can't be the father without
-
him driving. There is a desperation that is
-
required in this season. But that scripture back up,
-
please, thank you. And so many people gather
-
together, so many people gathered together, so many
-
people gather together there that they there was no longer
-
room for them, not even around the door.
-
So if you get a picture, Jesus is in the house and there's no
-
room to get in the house where Jesus Jesus is not even around
-
the door and He was discussing the word.
-
Wherever Jesus was was the word and wherever the word was, there
-
was Jesus. If you understand that, that's
-
why when we go in and we speak in the word all who I'm
-
releasing it the atmosphere, I don't need Jesus.
-
A physical man to walk through the door.
-
Jesus himself is in my mouth. You won't Jesus start speaking
-
the word you want? Jesus, start confessing the
-
worst are singing the word start seeing the word work.
-
Start believing the word start confessing the word.
-
Start listening to the word. You want more Jesus, speak more
-
word. Then they came bringing a
-
paralytic to him. Who had been picked up?
-
And was being carried by four men.
-
Remember, we talked about fighting a passion to fight.
-
There was a paralyzed, man. Carried by remember, one of at
-
least my prayer was Lord, I need some Fighters around me. carried
-
by, Here here. Here's a truth right here.
-
Don't worry about how it's going to happen, but there is a high
-
chance that your team Love quest.
-
Friday. We'll have to play with four
-
men. Do the circumstances.
-
Possibly. Maybe start off with for maybe
-
one running late, we won't know till Thursday night.
-
I've been back and forth talking to JT, do you know, it's not one
-
bone in me and I'm not just talking Faith right now.
-
It's not one bone at me. I'm actually excited at the
-
opportunity. To win with four people.
-
How can you do that easy? You can play a 22 zone.
-
It's only one ball is only one basket guard.
-
The basket, put pressure on the ball, make a make them a jump
-
shooting team. If they're jump shooting team
-
we're gonna get rebounds long rebounds and then we get a
-
chance to score. You only can double team.
-
One person took in that. Still makes it somebody else.
-
I'll go to war with Shaq I'll go to the board with off.
-
They all go to war with JT their strategy.
-
So, the less me Men that I have, the more strategy I need.
-
Right. But there's also something in
-
me. Understand fighting is a sport.
-
So what David did collected Goliath was a sport.
-
It was a skill. And y'all think I'm playing?
-
This whole basketball thing is writing a story.
-
At least for me. I'm told some leaders, the other
-
day. If we play four on five, and
-
when betting on one leader, come to me, complain about nothing.
-
Don't come complaining, about nothing.
-
But then some people out there, they'll be like, man, we can we
-
get somebody, can we cancel the game?
-
Can we know if the if the game gets snowed in and they cancel
-
the game, even at the amen. Praise God.
-
But you think I'm going? Do you think I got time to go
-
into Friday? Thinking about a handicap?
-
Guess who the fifth man is Y'all.
-
So then y'all gotta cheer more Now, 305 might be a different
-
story, but I still would have the same confidence, but 405 is
-
a whole nother ball game. For man.
-
Next. And when they could not get him
-
to a place. In front of Jesus, because of
-
the crowd, they dug through the roof above him.
-
And when they have scooped out and opening, they let down the
-
thickly padded, quilt, or mat upon which the paralyzed man
-
lay. Do you know how heavy that guy
-
was? Do you know what it took?
-
I don't care how short the roof was. if you're going to learn
-
how to fight, you have to get rid of excuses, This man is
-
paralyzed. But he is surrounded with people
-
that got legs. Is why it's not safe to hang out
-
with people as paralyzed as you. and when Jesus saw their, what
-
faith, Their confidence in God through him.
-
He said to the paralyzed, man. Son, your sins are forgiven and
-
put away. That is the penalty is remitted,
-
the sense of guilt removed and you are made of right.
-
So he didn't say you was healed. He said what's going on inside
-
of you? Is a part of your disease.
-
Do you feel condemned as you're saying, weighing you down?
-
What does he say? Your guilt has been removed?
-
Praise God for myself. If you want to be a winner, you
-
have to forget the last play. Okay.
-
Okay. Okay.
-
If you want to be a winner, you have to forget your age.
-
Young or older. As long as you're living your
-
call to Win It. All right.
-
A point of showing you this is, I just I just I feel like you
-
need to get the right people around you in this season.
-
You need to get the right people around you in this season and do
-
not feel bad. For investing.
-
In carriers. Do not be feel bad for giving
-
your ear more to people, that will speak, highly the highest
-
form of Who You Are. Yeah, the true fight is to let
-
the Lord fight your battles. Pick up there.
-
And will land somewhere. The true fight is to let the
-
Lord fight your battles. Second chronicles 20 says, the
-
battle is not what yours? What we learned Sunday is that,
-
although, the battle is the Lord's, we're still required to
-
show up. Is anybody with me or you
-
frozen? Amen.
-
The battle is not yours, but it is your job to do.
-
What? I'll say.
-
It one more time. The battle is not yours, but it
-
is your job to do. What?
-
Man, that's half the battle that that time.
-
You don't want to get the church at you struggling to get out the
-
bed or the gym, you're struggling to go to the gym and
-
every as the longer you stay laying on your mat, the more
-
excuses, we fine. So, I gotta show up, I gotta
-
show up. He says, you shall not need to
-
fight but you need to what show up.
-
Man, I'm trying to help somebody here.
-
You shall not need to fight, but you shall what show up?
-
This is all he said. I'm going to fight for you but
-
you still need to show up. You don't need to fight but I
-
but I need you to what show up. So what's the theme Here?
-
No, the thing here is the battle is within you get ain't the
-
enemy. That's your call to defeat.
-
Because the victory is in showing up and so at the end of
-
me that the enemy wants to stop me from doing, he's not trying
-
to do. If he cannot defeat me when I
-
show up because where I'm called the show of, that's where the
-
person who is going to fight. My battles, is if I show up
-
where I'm called to go, then the provision is there, some of
-
y'all trying to get money. Money for a place.
-
God told you to leave. The money is where he told you
-
to what show up. he is not funding a relationship, you
-
showed up to and he told you to show out at He said, it's over,
-
he said walk away. He said enough is enough.
-
No, he didn't say, I'll follow you.
-
He said, follow me. He's not changing that he said
-
follow me. So so the battle is he is I
-
gotta show up. He said, I don't need to fight
-
but I need to fight to show up. And that's what the enemy wants
-
you to do. It's not show up.
-
And I love this, he said, take your position, you are called to
-
the battle line. There's no victory in hiding.
-
There's no victory in the cave. The only victory in the cave is
-
that you left it? You shall not need to fight.
-
Take your positions, stand still.
-
That's it, that's, that's hard to do when somebody flinching at
-
you all the time. You're the devil, go flinching
-
at you, right? He flinching at you.
-
He like, uh, and he get you to Blink, you know, they'll staring
-
contest where you shirt, who can who can keep the Open Eyes, the
-
longest. This is the hardest thing to do
-
is stand still. What I'm saying is when you stay
-
faithful and what God is doing, that's the posture of staying
-
still Staying still, don't mean be lazy.
-
Don't do nothing. Staying still me and keep on
-
praying. Keep showing up.
-
That's staying. Still keeps showing up.
-
Keep so and keep giving, keep declaring, keep loving, keep
-
forgiving, keep walking. Keep standing, keep running.
-
Keep going to the gym. Keep doing squats.
-
Keep throwing blows. And see the delivered.
-
See, see, It is not your job to bring forth Victory, it's your
-
job to observe victory. A thousand may fall by my side
-
10,000 at my right hand, what'd he say?
-
But you bout to be nothing but a spectator.
-
Oh, oh, here's a little little thing at the bottom.
-
This, why mindset need to shift? Maybe it's hard for some of us
-
to fight because we don't know this last line.
-
The Lord is with me. Everywhere that I go.
-
The Lord is with me. There's nothing, I can't face.
-
The storm made the disciples forget.
-
Oh they have the savior in the boat.
-
So, whatever you going through, don't forget.
-
The Lord is with me. Even if I mess up the Lord is
-
with me, even when they don't like me, the Lord is with me.
-
Even when I turn in my resume and 150, people got way more
-
qualifications to me, guess what?
-
But what's on that resume? The Lord is with me, right?
-
I'll take my one year experience and the Lord.
-
And I might get the position over your 15 years of
-
experience. For the Lord is with me.
-
Matter if I'm in a pandemic it don't matter if a disease
-
breakout guess what? The Lord is with me.
-
You don't matter. If you don't believe in me, it
-
don't matter if you misunderstand me, guess what the
-
Lord is with me? And it's only a matter of time
-
where he goes to show you that he is with me.
-
Eyes have not seen ears. Have not heard.
-
Neither has it entered the heart of man what God has in store for
-
them that love him according to his purpose.
-
Has say the Lord is with me. Lord is with me.
-
That's your make. You put your shoulders back,
-
poke your chest out and put your head up.
-
Pull them covers from over your head and realize the Lord is
-
with me. The king is with me.
-
Same God, that was in the pit. The pit didn't make Jesus not be
-
with Joseph. He was in the Lion's Den.
-
He was in the fiery furnace. He was in the pitch, he was in
-
the Shipwreck. He was with you in it all.
-
Lord is with me. And he's talked him.
-
Another Parable Heavens Kingdom can be compared to a farmer who
-
planted good seed in his field. When everyone was asleep and
-
enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat and ran away
-
when the wheat sprouted and bore grain.
-
Then the weeds also appeared. So the farmers Hired Hands came
-
to him and said, sir, wasn't that good seed that you sold in
-
the field? I just want to remind a few
-
people here today. When God planted you in this
-
earth, it was good. Now you see some of you guys
-
mind went to the Earth was good? No, no.
-
When he planted you in the earth, you was good.
-
Okay. We don't make sure you don't
-
miss this. They said, man, the enemy came
-
in and sold something in there and that don't look like
-
something we put in there. and I know for a fact, Then what we
-
sold. In the field, it was good.
-
I don't know how my life has turned out up to this point, but
-
I know before I was formed in my mama's womb, I was declared good
-
A bit, maybe you don't see yourself, On the sixth day.
-
When he saw everything and he decreed, it was good.
-
Maybe you think you was born in 1980, something, or 70, summer,
-
60, some are 50. Some, maybe you don't realize.
-
In in Genesis, he was talking about you.
-
Yeah. Genesis 1:26 328, maybe you
-
didn't realize when he blessed the Earth and he called it good
-
and he said now go Mavs don't have dominion to do it.
-
Maybe you don't see that was you you thought he was talking about
-
Adam and Eve, huh? But not even Adam and Eve was
-
born all you. You should go back to Genesis
-
1:26 through 28, you are a spirit and you possess a soul
-
and you live in a body. So who he was talking to in
-
Genesis 1:26 through 28, was anybody?
-
That is Spirit I don't know what you thought.
-
Maybe you thought you was this right here.
-
So when you die is over for you, nah, maybe that's you.
-
But for me I see in Genesis 1:26, he made everything then he
-
said but man on got nobody to rule it.
-
Oh, let me make man in my image. And he said, and they shall have
-
dominion over the fifth, right? And he says, and he blessed the
-
Earth and then the Earth that he blessed, guess what?
-
He formed man out of he didn't form until it was blessed.
-
I'm trying to help somebody. I'm trying to help somebody I'm
-
trying to. You can look at that, all kind
-
of ways but your career may have not been formed yet because
-
here's a blessing that you about to walk into before you get to
-
the top or before you get your wife or even you get your
-
husband, you wondering why you going?
-
You're going through a cultivation season because
-
wherever he called you to show up, you showing up blessed.
-
You're not going to next to get blessed you going into next
-
blast. He say, he say he's he blessed
-
it then he made me, I don't know what you think you made out of,
-
but guess what? That's why the funeral you not
-
going to hear him say this, when you die, but this, what they're
-
going to say, ashes to ashes dust to dust leaving a body bag,
-
never, because that's just a little ride, that's a historic.
-
That's a, that's a poem. It's in Revelations.
-
Chapter 33. Now, let me stop lying to y'all.
-
So you go back to any grave. And you can see.
-
It go right back. Two.
-
So you can't be like what the first people was made out of the
-
dirt. I think about that.
-
You ever see someone cremated? You're going.
-
No, you don't pick up caskets and all that say, you don't do
-
that stuff. But I'm just saying like it
-
goes, right? They just made this statue of
-
the first first. Nipsey Hussle, clay figure, I
-
forget what it's called, huh? Huh.
-
Wax figure if you see that thing, you can't tell me.
-
Nikki hustling a lot. I'm talking about from his skin
-
to the tattoos jewelry. The hair.
-
They put in the hair, one by one.
-
They put his braids in and he is standing there.
-
Like, when you die? This body is going right back.
-
You who you really are the one he breathed into the clay.
-
That's you. He breathed himself into this
-
clay. He has no need for this.
-
You ever been born? Okay.
-
Okay, I don't know. I know and I could be ignorant
-
right now, whatever. But like how how we how we alive
-
and breathing in water and how we doing that?
-
How we doing that? And then when we come out the
-
shock of oxygen on this side of the Earth, And I even, I don't
-
know, maybe my, this was my experience watching my kids come
-
into the Earth. But I saw God breathing to
-
Malachi Malia's and Mike has no nostrils when they came out the
-
womb. And they start crying.
-
How you think? What you think inside of you?
-
This is why I praise him. This is why he's, you're
-
praising. Everyday, you wake up?
-
You breathing, he's sharing his life with you.
-
And so when we give it back he gives it back and it's just
-
beautiful cycle of life that's happening.
-
But I want you to know that you were created out of blessed
-
period. You was Born Blessed.
-
You woke up blessed. You don't need nothing at it to
-
you to be blessed. Hurry.
-
Oh, where did all these weeds come from?
-
He answered. This has to be the work of an
-
enemy. You were born pure.
-
Where did all these weeds come in your mind?
-
Where did all this doubt come from?
-
But all these insecurities come from.
-
Where's all this? Second-guessing yourself?
-
Come from. They asked him.
-
Do you want us to go and gather up all the weeds?
-
Listen to this answer? No, he said, if you pull out the
-
weeds, you might uproot the wheat at the same time.
-
So what he's saying is, is some of you were here, some of you
-
weren't, but there was a Sunday, we really drew the line between
-
this church and the spirit of Jezebel Okay, I don't care how
-
people see it. I've no the battle we fought for
-
a couple years, but there came a point where he said leave.
-
The leave the weeds in. Here's one thing, you have to
-
know you need the persecution. You need the opposition.
-
And so you can't run from any opposition, you're dealing with
-
right now. You can't.
-
You have to let things grow around you.
-
And then there's a time to pull them.
-
What I will tell you, this is the season.
-
We're let's, let's read this real quick.
-
No, he said, if you pull the weeds, you might uproot the
-
wheat to the same time. Let them both grow together
-
until the Harvest. So what did we what are we
-
telling you? It's harvest time, right?
-
We're saying is Is Harvest Time. This is why we have to learn how
-
to fight because there are some things that are entangled in
-
what's supposed to be our the blessing is being choked out and
-
if we don't hurry, it's like the umbilical cord.
-
If it stays around the baby's day, like there's a time.
-
Once it's time to give birth to baby.
-
Can't stay in there that long. It's birth, is another word for
-
Harvest time. It's birthing time.
-
If you he says let them both grow together until the Harvest
-
at that time. Say at that time.
-
Come on one time. Say at that time.
-
I'll tell my Harvesters to gather the weeds first.
-
So we said it's harvest time and we think our family members just
-
got we think that bucket list just gonna come and you think
-
because the person in the bucket list came to church the battles
-
over. Hey look at what he say, let
-
them both grow together. He said I'll tell the Harvesters
-
and then first and tie them all in bundles to be burned.
-
This is a fight it's time to take before structures off.
-
It's time to take. What?
-
He, what are you doing? What do you call him?
-
The the scaffolding off. So you can see how strong you
-
really are. It's time to uproot.
-
Just perverted thoughts. It's time to purge around you.
-
It's all we got is saying there was a season where there was a
-
Grace to have the weeds around you but now it's time to take
-
them time up. Then they will harvest the wheat
-
and put it into I looked him over and roast need my I think
-
we'll stop here. Look them over and Rose up
-
Nehemiah for it said to the Nobles and officials the other
-
people do not be afraid of the enemy earnestly.
-
Remember, do not be afraid of the enemy, do not be a receipt.
-
David, who is this uncircumcised philistine?
-
We see the lame man and he had four people around him.
-
And he said no we're not going to allow the crowded doors, the
-
crowded, porches. And the crowded room.
-
Stop us from getting our victory.
-
I looked him over and Rose up and said to the Nobles, and
-
officials other people do. Not be afraid of them eternally.
-
Remember the Lord, and imprint him on your minds.
-
It's amazing. This theme of when going in the
-
battle, remember the Lord. Great.
-
And terrible. And take from his courage, fight
-
for your brethren, your son's, your daughters, your wives, and
-
your homes. And when you are when our
-
enemies heard that, their plot was known to us and that God
-
have frustrated their purpose. Don't Preach to myself for five
-
minutes. Is that okay?
-
Came a time where I realized it. The my father is so good.
-
One way, he fights for me is to whisper in my ear and exposed to
-
enemy tactics. The hardest part of fighting the
-
enemy is because you didn't know where the blows was coming from.
-
You didn't know what was going on.
-
You was confuse you as in the dark, it was cloudy.
-
But then there came a time where it says and when our enemies
-
heard that their plot was known to us and that God have
-
frustrated their purpose. God frustrated, my enemy's
-
purpose. We all return to the wall, we
-
all return to the work. We was called to everyone to his
-
work. Everyone played their part, it's
-
Harvest Time. So what he's saying is there has
-
to come a point where you understand, but I want you to
-
see how the Lord fought the Battle, the end the Lord
-
frustrated their purpose. so, I have to go back to the wall,
-
knowing, my enemy is defeated, So I can do the work, I don't
-
have time to keep looking over my shoulders worrying about
-
persecution and from that time forth, half of my servants work
-
at the tasks and the other half held the spears.
-
So I need people on my squad that can build in fight.
-
So I need a little Hood around me.
-
It's why I love my mama. If she watching, I love you, my
-
mama. My Mama love.
-
Everybody hugging all over my mom.
-
Be watching and I'll hop in this car.
-
My mom said baby watch out for her.
-
Oh, who is that? That had on the keep, your eye
-
on them. Make sure somebody always around
-
you when you talking to that person, I love it.
-
You gotta have some folks that discern through Hood lenses
-
sometimes Right, that that's just smell, right?
-
It's like I've been in the streets, you know the homie
-
that's like a something about to happen.
-
Let's go in the house that wasn't a holy ghost.
-
That was just some Hood sense. It was just like something don't
-
feel right. They moving different tonight.
-
We gonna go in the house, right? He said he had some people that
-
was building, but he also had some people that was fight know
-
who you called to build with and who you called to fight with.
-
Not time for half of my servants worked and the other half held
-
the spears Shields bows and coats of mail and the leader,
-
stood behind all the house of Judah, those who built the wall
-
and those Who Bore burdens loaded themselves.
-
So that everyone worked with one hand.
-
I love this, those who build the wall and those Who Bore burdens
-
those who built and bore Burton's.
-
Those who built and was willing to carry the burden with you.
-
So that everyone worked with one hand.
-
And they held a weapon with the other hand.
-
This is Harvest Time. Here's a picture of harvest
-
time. You going to have to work and
-
build. As much as we want to say God,
-
which one do you call in a stew in this season?
-
You call to build, and you called the fight.
-
And every Builder had his sword. Her.
-
I don't know who this is for but some of you have been tempted to
-
stop building. Because the fight has been too
-
hard, the Lord says you're called and anointed for both.
-
And he who sounded the trumpet was at my side.
-
I need to keep worshippers around me.
-
That's it. That's all.
-
Lord warm us up tonight. Hallelujah.
-
Father, thank you. Thank you, Jesus.
-
Elder John, where's the scripture?
-
Watch it. Watch him, pray, want you.
-
Can you put up Matthew 26:39? Thank you or eat this summer?
-
Pray out. Is time.
-
Jesus is on his way to the Cross about to be betrayed.
-
He asked his he asked his his voice.
-
Can you just pray for me? He came back.
-
And he found them sleep. On the battlefield.
-
Going a little farther. He threw himself upon the ground
-
on his face and prayed saying where did he throw his self?
-
Wait a minute. I want to skip over that.
-
How what is the posture Jesus was praying?
-
She's probably a worse ground in this rub.
-
Probably dirty. Huh?
-
He was in the desert. Praise saying my father, if it
-
is possible. Let this cup pass away from me.
-
Nevertheless, not what I want. But what you want?
-
Next verse. And then after he came to the
-
disciples and found them sleep, so many times you see, Jesus
-
fighting And his disciples sleeping or distracted.
-
And he said to Peter, what are you?
-
So utterly unable to stay awake. And keep watch with me for one
-
hour. All of you must keep awake.
-
Give strict attention, be cautious.
-
You ready for this last word active?
-
And watch and pray that you may not come into temptation, you
-
ready for this? The spirit indeed is willing but
-
the flesh is weak. Again, a second time he went
-
away and prayed my father. Do you see how many times Jesus
-
tried to pass up yoga, and he said, but I'll take it for them.
-
For their eyes were way down with sleep.
-
So then you can go back to when they said Jesus where you get
-
food from. He says sir don't y'all see as
-
harvest time? so, if I come off a little, go
-
back to 42 if I come off a little like, pushy urgent
-
challenging In this next season. If I haven't been already.
-
You just gonna have to forgive me in advance because I don't
-
know about you, but I can never have a call on my life and
-
sleep. Never, I can never have an
-
anointing and not release it. I don't know about you but you
-
are either fulfilling the plan of Jesus on your life, or you or
-
sleep. There's no in between.
-
So I'm challenging everybody and sometimes challenging is it's
-
very unpopular. But you also find out people
-
that want to grow are grateful for being challenged.
-
I'm challenging every. Last one of you To ask yourself.
-
What do you come to the house of God for?
-
What are you looking for? What do you need?
-
And learn how to place a demand on your time.
-
I don't know about you, but it's a very serious serious serious
-
time that we're living in And there's a lot of people, we got
-
a text, I'll leave it at this, we got a text or somebody in
-
this church right now. They got a text and they shared
-
it with me and said, pastor how do I respond?
-
It was a young lady who was here.
-
Who got pulled away and know, this might offend some people
-
but got pulled away by some people who was here wolves and
-
sheep clothing. And now those people that pulled
-
her away, no longer even live here and this person is called
-
to ask a question. Will God be mad if I killed
-
myself? there's people that you see
-
every single week, that there's a high risk, that's the some
-
wolf, some deception, some will pull them away.
-
Convincing them that something's better or something's wrong with
-
here. And only to leave them stranded
-
out there to only then question. Should I even still live?
-
When that person came here and experienced Deliverance that
-
they didn't have before, not understanding the enemy is
-
coming seven times stronger. This is why I challenged us
-
because maybe you don't see it or you don't see it from my
-
seat. Maybe you just looking this way
-
and you just see one person or eight people or whatever but the
-
people you sitting with This is why David brought it up, man.
-
When I saw my sheep in the mouths of a bear and of a line,
-
I ran and got them. And if I didn't go run and get
-
the sheep that I was supposed to tend to how can I ever face a
-
Goliath out there. and if you say you called to this church,
-
I'm sorry to tell you but it comes a point where you move
-
from a guess to a host And if you're a host, you don't get to
-
choose when he when you own. because there are some waiters
-
and waitresses that don't feel good, but guess what they got to
-
do, host you And it don't matter if I'm cold and don't matter if
-
it's hot it don't matter what it is.
-
I gotta be on because there's someone sitting next to me
-
that's trying to decide. Shall I live or shall I die.
-
And I'm telling you just cuz you at church it does not mean the
-
devil ain't here and he ate at people's minds So I'm telling
-
you before I tell you I need you PJ need you to Elders.
-
Need you God need you. It's harvest time, Big Time.
-
God is sending people to this church and to churches around
-
the city. And it's not about who's up
-
here. because I'm going to do my job, but the true question is,
-
You can't stay awake and I'm not talking literally.
-
Because I see your eyes open. But you can't stay attentive.
-
Master. Get off our back.
-
I'm not on it. What I'm doing is trying to help
-
you arrive to God is calling you.
-
You're not called to just come and listen and get a word.
-
I'm the pastor that's going to tell you.
-
I'm tired of looking at anointed people do nothing.
-
I'm tired of looking at prophetic gifts and Apostolic
-
gifts. And Evangelistic gifts, I'm
-
tired of seeing you just week after week after week, just be
-
the same and be a slave to the world.
-
While people need what's in you and is greater than your money,
-
is greater than your intelligence.
-
There's an anointing that I want to see all of you step into and
-
get out of the pit and get out of victim and get out of pity
-
parties and get out of just being a spectator of the gospel
-
and be a carrier. You are not called to merely
-
come to church and listen and say that's good it comes a point
-
where you gotta take, what's up, what's given to you?
-
And you are held responsible to apply it.
-
Jesus said, can you stay attentive?
-
For one hour. Can you please?
-
And I want to be here at 8:40 telling you or asking you.
-
I want to be like this on be chilling.
-
But I feel it, very heavy. All these last few weeks.
-
Every person in that bucket is ready.
-
But are you ready to host the presence of God and then, are
-
you ready to walk with those people in the bucket?
-
From the time they do come his Lords.
-
Like I could get them here but I'm not bringing yo bucket list.
-
So you can introduce them to Elders or pastors to walk with
-
them. If your auntie calm, if your
-
brother come, if your cousin come, are you ready to lay your
-
life down to walk with them? The course, Because God's about
-
to send them. And my burden is I do not want
-
to miss this. This move of God, I will not and
-
I'm just looking for some people.
-
That are willing to stand with me and willing to go all the way
-
with me, and that's willing to change the trajectory of Our
-
Generation and willing to repent and be a church.
-
That is not hurting people wear. That is not just letting people
-
down and feed them milk every week but willing to raise a
-
standard and raise people to walk on their own two feet with
-
Jesus. So father, thank you.
-
As long as the Earth remains. long as their summer, as long as
-
there is winter long, as his hot long as this cold is cold,
-
reminds me, That as long as the Earth remains seedtime and
-
harvest. So Lord I stand here tonight
-
With Arms Wide Open. Saying, I Surrender.
-
I thank you for the opportunity to embrace your children, your
-
sons and your daughters. I thank you for an urgency.
-
Four souls. And I thank you, Father that our
-
urgency for Souls. Who bring conviction to the
-
church. Because you have called us to be
-
Soul winners. And you've called us to make
-
disciples and you've called us to love.
-
So, we maybe fix our eyes on you.
-
It may we stand ready for the Harvest.
-
And may, we find nourishment. In doing the will of the father.
-
Thank you. Jesus.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
-
Thank you Jesus! Amen.
