-
Amen. I just want to testify briefly,
-
I don't want no details but man last Sunday night I'm just
-
telling you. If you belong to this church you
-
got to come to a 5:30 service. At least I would I would I would
-
I would do it at least once a month.
-
Let me tell you. If you really love yourself, You
-
would get to 5:30 at least once a month and you would come to
-
Wednesday nights at least once a month, at least.
-
Once. I'm trying to tell you yourself,
-
would appreciate yourself. If you did that last Sunday, the
-
place was absolutely packed. The altar was packed.
-
We had little over 30 people, get a life to Jesus, and man,
-
That's that's what we do at four.
-
We had, we had some, we have we have, God is sending us and I'm
-
telling you. There has to be a church in the
-
world where the Father, the creator of the universe.
-
There has to be a church, that's courageous enough, bold enough,
-
confident enough, and loving enough, that can house all
-
religions without compromising Jesus Christ.
-
And I think it was two weeks ago.
-
No, it was last week, God was giving me on the way home and
-
I've been home slowly but surely getting revelation of why he he
-
named this church. Love quest.
-
Que wasn't some little name. I want it or read it in a book.
-
I twist it words, I don't like using stuff other people use and
-
all of that. And I remember going through
-
like, 60 names, this is 2008. I didn't know what it's for, but
-
then Lord, drop Love quest 2016. When I was deciding us Stay here
-
or go home because what we came here for didn't work out he
-
said, No Love quest. Remember that 2008, remember
-
that name? I told you to write down that's
-
a church here. Canada, awesome, Levin people
-
then you know, few years later, here we are.
-
And but this idea is every religion is on a love quest.
-
Every human being is on a love quest.
-
Every last one I would like to believe that the name of our
-
church is every humans motivation.
-
You give me money. You can say all that.
-
But Ultra through money, you looking for through
-
relationships, you looking for through careers, you looking
-
forward through social media through deep down on the inside,
-
we were made by love created by love, created for love period.
-
Point Blank, that's what it all boils down.
-
When we die, we go enter back to love either.
-
Going to The to eternal love or Eternal fear one of the other
-
life or death. And so for me, when I say love
-
quest, the Lord is going to challenge.
-
Here, we are going to be a, I don't even want to say a sample,
-
but we are going to be a living example.
-
Here's what the scripture says. I'm anointing you to go to All
-
Nations. Right.
-
But there's also he's anointing us to house all nations, right?
-
The church looked at different back then, they didn't have
-
buildings like this but God is bringing all nations.
-
How do I know that? Because he's bringing all
-
nations just to this country period.
-
So if he's bringing all nations to this country, let's boil it
-
down to Vancouver. Did you know?
-
Did you know? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong
-
Kay-Kay, we got our notes, we got our facts.
-
But do you know? Canada.
-
Give me my notes. Give my notes, give my notes.
-
Okay. Canada has the largest Sikh
-
population in the world outside of India.
-
See. See y'all you know I'm saying?
-
Y'all just looking for Christians.
-
We have some Sikhs in here last week.
-
But seeks guess what? They read.
-
Bible Quran. Break the Lord told us to seek
-
him first. Right, right.
-
We got seek seeking more than Christian seeking God.
-
And what we've done, we demonize religions and know.
-
They're, they're not there, that's what they grew up in.
-
But as I told 10 a.m. services like shame on us, because if you
-
make Christianity, a religion, we're not as powerful as other
-
religions, as a religion, because other religions,
-
actually, be living this thing Christians, we be playing
-
around. You asked us to fast.
-
We can plane. Then you ask us to knock on
-
doors and witness we can play them.
-
Like but there's a religions that's owning colleges and in
-
and out. Look on the bottom of your cup
-
and french fries. Next time, if you ever, go eat
-
in and out, Right. What like there's religious but
-
in Christianity, we persecute too much money.
-
You know how stupid we sound like, we need all the money.
-
We can have, we just need Integrity.
-
We need two things, integrity and vision but a poet Church
-
ain't, helping ain't changing no City.
-
Cake is so majority of sick, people reside in four cities
-
Brampton Ontario Suri. Calgary Alberta and Abbotsford
-
British Columbia. And I'm trying to, I'm trying to
-
help the church, right? So we can stop looking for
-
church transfers. A place like love quest is going
-
to be filled with religion can religious conversions because
-
what God is looking for is soldiers.
-
So like he you look at what he did with Saul, he he converted a
-
Christian murderer. Because he wanted to do away
-
with the murder kinda, but he wanted saw the slay, the devil,
-
he wanted us all to have that same fire.
-
He don't lose the fire, don't lose the passion, just switch
-
the context. So God will take some people who
-
are on fire for another God. Haven't encountered a?
-
I well, that's that. Okay, that's your God.
-
Okay. Read your Bible.
-
You'll see a lot of that. We're going to preach on that
-
tonight. And then he gonna say no, keep
-
the fire. You, wow.
-
You wild out there in the world. Why you think he saved me?
-
So I was on fire for the devil, man.
-
I was turned up in the clubs, he's like, oh, I like the way
-
you praise because I was the cat that going to Club while all the
-
fellas. Don't look go with the drink and
-
the pinkie up and the dance floor, empty.
-
I didn't need no woman. I didn't even nobody to start
-
the party. You give me some music.
-
I'm on the floor by myself Lourdes, like I need that kind
-
of guy. Right?
-
I can tell, what kind of people some people y'all was at the
-
club, right? He's like, no.
-
Keep the passion. Keep the unashamed.
-
Itness. Right?
-
He going to he go, he going to strip club and he want the
-
person who unashamed to be in the strip club.
-
He's like they didn't come on, come on.
-
I'm about to take because he did.
-
I'm a mess with your mind. Jesus, like, I'm a stripper too.
-
Read read the scripture in Ephesians 4:23, he says strip.
-
Yourself. I know some of y'all religious
-
Minds. Can't you like?
-
Oh my God. He just blasphemy is.
-
No, it's not you. We just give the devil too much
-
stuff, right? We party.
-
We celebrate Hey, we joke around.
-
We got a good sense of humor. Right, we're strong.
-
Right? We got swag we got Charisma like
-
this is all the stuff we give the world and we call anybody
-
that's in the Pullman Pulpit with Charisma false prophet.
-
Amen. But I just need you to know if
-
we could turn the heater off now.
-
Thank you. We didn't have that thing
-
rolling all day. Please thank you.
-
Watch your head. Come on, okay.
-
Hey man, he hey, man. Hey man, we got one way, man.
-
That's fine. Remember 15-15-15 515 all five
-
minutes on. Lee.
-
All right um so with Lord showed is that love quest has to get
-
prepared for all nations and what that means he says, so we
-
have to get ready. We have to also get ready for
-
religious folks to persecute us. So if you worried about what
-
your friends and your family, think you're not going to be
-
that great a witness because they going to be just like, they
-
were City, why y'all talking to that prostitute?
-
Don't you remember? He was selling drugs and Wally.
-
Well what a great witness week snatch somebody out of Wally
-
that was selling drugs and wildly to like this guy right
-
here, this buff clean guy that just did first time attendees on
-
the same grounds. He sold drugs in I might get to
-
it later on today but I will for sure get into it tonight.
-
The power of a testimony though and how traumatizing Our
-
Testimony. A true testimony is to the devil
-
and this is partially why? It's traumatizing because
-
actually, what you're traumatized, what your, what
-
your testimony represents you, by the time, I get to tell my
-
testimony, I show no signs of what I'm talking about.
-
So I'm actually presenting you a story that you can't even
-
imagine. Like if I told you I was on
-
heroin or crack cocaine or some you be like no way I would have
-
never guessed right and so is traumatizing and I'm gonna get
-
to it later because if you are Yang, okay?
-
You know, we like I'm a x. I'ma X right now, this is for
-
people who ready to house Revelation, how can you be a x
-
when you're brand new? This is mindset because second
-
Corinthians will get to later. He says he makes all things new.
-
So, how can you be a x if you're really new?
-
And we'll get to that later. Kay kay, Hallelujah, I prayed
-
already did I pray already? Okay, you didn't.
-
But I did. Okay.
-
Awesome. Let's do this.
-
Let's do some reviews. Say tis the season.
-
He says and all I'm saying is tis the season yes to be jolly
-
all of that but tis the season this is Harvest Time and I need
-
you to wake up this is not worry about career time this is not
-
worry about spouse time this is not worry about this is the
-
season to not be distracted tis, tis the season to position
-
yourself because it sometime this is this is this is a
-
mixture of people. I'm talking about on one hand
-
I'm talking to the believer who is Called to be in the Harvest
-
field. And when Souls on the other
-
hand, you will also be able to relate to this as a gospel
-
message. Because as we're talking about
-
sharing the gospel, you also hear the gospel shared if you've
-
never heard the gospel, right? So, there's the Harvest is in
-
here, but also, laborers are in here.
-
You identify, which one you are. Matthew 5 says, we are to be the
-
salt seasoning of the earth sauce.
-
Seasoning that brings out the what God flavors like we said.
-
For those that drink wine. Like if you go to a restaurant,
-
they have pairings certain wind brings out certain flavors.
-
And what you're eating, I left that 2007, whole nother story
-
point because I had to say that because y'all don't understand
-
the stuff because it just because I'm talking about wine.
-
People think I drink wine and then, I don't want to affiliate
-
myself with Bibles and beers and that's in the church to and
-
smoking. And you know I'm saying, now
-
weed is legal. That's the part of Bible study
-
to that's in the church big time.
-
Okay. But we're called to bring people
-
to a fullness of Deliverance so I can't delete help deliver you
-
from something. I'm still partaking in even if
-
it's just a shot, right? So I need that testimony to help
-
you come out. Okay, let me tell you why you
-
are here, you're here to be salt, seasoning.
-
That brings out the god. Flavors of the Earth, right?
-
I love coffee back. There we have pour overs.
-
You, if you really go to a bougie coffee company, they will
-
they or Cafe? They will tell you do not.
-
You don't need cream which you'll pour over, right?
-
Yuri rookie putting in cream white because the pore over is
-
meant to bring all the tones out the flavors out really good
-
coffee. You don't need nothing.
-
You just enjoy right? I hate a City Coffee.
-
Some people don't even know what kind of coffee, they don't.
-
Like, I like light roast. A lot of times some places the
-
lighter the roast, the more caffeinated it is you think dark
-
roast is more caffeinated. Know it's stronger in flavor.
-
But a lighter roast is, okay. But anyway, the point is, is
-
these things have notes and they have flavors in.
-
They have taste in certain things, seasoning brings out
-
flavor, right? Here's here's the point.
-
All of our Lives should bring out the flavor in people's
-
lives, right? You're if you're not salt in
-
your pepper. And we know pepper.
-
Don't really contribute too much.
-
Right? In first thing you ask for is
-
what? When you need some flavor.
-
Some people don't. But I hate bland food.
-
Some of y'all clearly like it but I don't know.
-
Right now, I hate doing potlucks at church and people bring they
-
Bland experience. To the church.
-
I'm like not here and then you everybody whispering and
-
texting. Like did you taste that mac and
-
cheese with the broccoli in it? Like folks.
-
I'm like, no if you don't do mac and cheese, don't do mac and
-
cheese, don't disrespect mac and cheese like that.
-
Right. We're called to bring the
-
flavors out of people's lives. And here's what Jesus says, if
-
you lose your saltiness, or if you lose your Effectiveness, if
-
you lose your it Factor, How will people taste godliness?
-
You've Lost Your usefulness and we'll end up in the garbage.
-
He did say you won't, he did say, you'll end up in hell.
-
He said you end up in garbage, like you won't live a fulfilled
-
life if you're not bringing fulfillment to people, Matthew 5
-
goes on. He said, let me put it to you
-
this way. You're here to be light.
-
Bring out me at one of me and wanted me and my wife's favorite
-
songs when we first met, just bring me that live, stop it
-
there just give me the light. Amen.
-
Bringing out the god colors. That's what I be trying to do.
-
I come here everybody loved his wearing all black blond Stones,
-
right? And is, it is almost like it is
-
not wrong place and I want a pair, but if I'm a spend to 3:00
-
on some shoes, I'm gonna get me some some Jordans or my go get
-
me. Some, some John Fluevog to
-
something. Give me something different, but
-
it's almost like what I've met here is like this, this is like
-
dressing down and dimming your light is a sign of humility.
-
Which is the opposite in the Kingdom.
-
So then you'll find in this church where I've had people I
-
have people at the basketball it again.
-
He's on the side like man y'all Church you I'll be all shoe game
-
be and I'm like that's fire like on the under people was just
-
like where you get them Noel was like look at these fascinating.
-
I just got these. I've been here about some tea.
-
If he got the little socks you don't say it, okay?
-
I'll see you cry with the white woman.
-
Whoops. Okay.
-
If I don't say nothing about your shoes that don't mean they
-
not fresh, okay? I ain't got time to give
-
everybody a shot out how she even started.
-
That folks are putting their feet out like this like nah, I'm
-
not that First-time attendee. Okay.
-
Listen. But what the point is, is then
-
someone comes in your life. What I found Elder Roseanne is
-
that when Pastor Julie, and I and elders, and love quest was
-
established. We gave permission to people to
-
shine as a believer. Hey, hey, where are your suit?
-
Dress up, put your makeup on. It ain't all about that but man,
-
there's something inside of you express yourself.
-
Right. It's like don't be coming up
-
here. Trying to be all humble.
-
Hallelujah. Thank you.
-
Jesus. We're nothing but filthy rags
-
today. Is that how you going to
-
restaurant? Is that how you apply for a job?
-
How you can go to an interview, more confident than you do to
-
Before the Throne of God? Hallelujah.
-
It's not me, brother is. That's all God.
-
No, that's you guys are co-laborers.
-
Give God glory but it's okay to take some credit.
-
Like somehow God doesn't want you to feel good about your
-
obedience. God doesn't want you to feel
-
good about you accepting your image in him.
-
Like, you know, how how dishonoring it is, too like
-
this. Just like it's almost that when
-
you do that, you like that's all him and it's like no, that's
-
when you find him, you find me. And when you find me, Me Jesus
-
says when you see the father you see the sun when you see the sun
-
you see the father. So there's this like false
-
humility that people have been raised up so then we'll look to
-
the states and be like all those Pentecostal charismatic, why
-
they weren't three-piece suits and why they do this and why
-
they do that preachers with sneakers and we just attack
-
people and is so stupid but you're blind Stones cost more
-
than my Jordan Ones. So who's Who's the?
-
Who's really bawling and I got mines from The Barbershop, from
-
my homie. Right?
-
But it's so easy to look from a distance and I'm here to tell
-
whoever, don't you dare dim, your light, you come from under
-
that bed and stop hiding your personality.
-
No one's saying you got to be flashy know it.
-
But find you and do it. Well, don't you dare dumb
-
yourself down. Do not dumb yourself down where
-
your fashion be weird in the goddess way.
-
You can it be weird in? Jesus name like where your style
-
of your mustache grow. A lot of a lot of kengo vibe
-
like I love different laughs. I love.
-
He said, bring the flavors out. See that's the beauty of
-
Vancouver. We don't necessarily have an
-
identity, so we just like we Global.
-
But we are there's room for everybody to make it home, where
-
a mosaic, not a Melting Pot, the challenge with a mosaic though
-
is there There's there's there's this segregation.
-
There's you over here, I'm blue, your red, I'm green.
-
And we're just going to come together, but in a mosaic,
-
there's lines and borders that keep us separated in a Melting
-
Pot, you go to America, everybody's American.
-
So we take what you bring to us, but you going to have to speak
-
of the English, you going to have to have a little Swang up
-
in here, right? You become American.
-
So there's benefits to being a Melting Pot, but there's also
-
Also down balls and there's benefits of being a mosaic, but
-
there's also downfalls and that's why it's hard to have a
-
church of all Nations because we only way to make it work is
-
agape. The only way to make it work is
-
is humility and so we're you both but in a place where love
-
is the main thing. Then you bring out the god
-
flavors and you like, let's sing that song in your language.
-
Let's pray in your language. Don't interpret it because
-
there's one Spirit, whatever you pray.
-
Say in your language we go receive it.
-
Like it was my language. Be you in Jesus name.
-
Come on. Let's your neighbor say be you
-
see we going to shine look at your neighbor and say We Gonna
-
Shine today We don't shine a day and then he says, shine, keep
-
open house, be generous with your lies, be generous with your
-
lives. He says, by opening up the other
-
two others. You'll prompt people to open up
-
with God. You can't stay open and be
-
generous if you don't stay full and overflowing.
-
This is why we come together. This is why we come together.
-
So I coming together is a part. And let me tell you, I know how
-
to pray. Me and my wife know how to pray
-
me and my kids and my wife know how to pray my Household know
-
how to pray, we keep worship music on.
-
We keep joy in the house, but there's something, when those
-
eight people come into a house with 150 or 200, or 75, or 20,
-
the faith increases, the courage, increases the
-
familiarity cease, it's one thing for my wife to say, I'm
-
praying for you. I receive it is one thing for Fe
-
to say Pastor T. That was a good word, I receive
-
it but there's a level of familiarity.
-
And familiarity it kinds of It, kind of, It, kind of, It kind of
-
Tanks the ability to receive the fullness of a word released.
-
So it takes great maturity to not be too familiar with the
-
voices, God place in your life but when you come around here,
-
there's a joy. There's a there's there's an
-
ecstatic - there's a undeniable presence of the father.
-
There's love and you just get charged up and then you spill it
-
out and you go plump or in the people darker when you come
-
Wednesday and you get plugged back up, righty.
-
You know it's crazy how much we just keep our phones charged.
-
What about you do you do how you do?
-
How your phone? Look compared to your soul.
-
You'll do is you'll get is your battery how this battery doing,
-
right? Do you keep do you make sure
-
that state? Let me tell you, he didn't say
-
Do not neglect the devotions of the day.
-
Do not neglect the apps. All right.
-
God didn't call us to apps. Those are supplements but apps
-
can't sustain us streaming. Cannot sustain us.
-
We actually Were Meant to need each other.
-
We actually need each other. You know, I got ten toes.
-
I need all 10 is great. You making it with eight.
-
I need my 10. Right?
-
I need everything that God gave me and like you need everything.
-
I gave you on your body. You need everything I gave you
-
for your body. Just like you need water.
-
You need the word just like you need food.
-
You need the word, you need the spirit of God.
-
You need your brothers and sisters to be an encouragement.
-
I don't care if you're depressed, just get in the
-
house, I don't care. If you anxious just get in the
-
house, I don't care if you pour just get in the house, I don't
-
care what you're going through, just get here and then there's
-
so way that God just, you know, I mean it's just like when the
-
left foot hurt is just the Right foot finds his way under the
-
covers to the left foot. Just massage it any.
-
We got any feet to feed rubbers here?
-
My man. I'll be like man, my wife and,
-
you know, say why she is getting her feet.
-
I'm just like, man, I just didn't grow up like that.
-
My feet just be divided. It just be like segregation over
-
here, a little covers. I'm like, but anybody, like, if
-
an injury happen, if if somebody hits you or if your toothache,
-
you you go and eat it and that's why he That's why he uses our
-
body as an example of the body of Christ.
-
So you come here hurting, you allow the hand to come and put a
-
hand on you, back on your back. They don't need to know what
-
you're going through with. That touch just did something
-
for you. To let to know that you're not
-
alone. You might hear a song.
-
Might be a teenager coming here. And you're here.
-
Teenager worship. And he like, oh my God, that's
-
what I want to do. Do so it kills confusion about
-
your future. There's just something when we
-
come together, you will never be able to duplicate and to bring
-
it on down. There is something about having
-
a church home God's called you to that you came never duplicate
-
at another church. So, you can be like, I don't
-
feel like driving. I'm gonna go to this church over
-
here. My cousin was inviting me to his
-
closer. Okay.
-
Go to closer, but it will never be able to produce because in
-
this house, there is something for you.
-
Amen, whatever you are overflowing with, you will be
-
generous with good or bad life or death.
-
I want to help some people out out of the abundance of the
-
heart. The mouth does what speak and
-
life and death is in the power of the what tongue, so we create
-
realities with our words. But how does it get here?
-
Here it gets here through Gates. Where's the gates ears?
-
Eyes mouth. You guys got to remember this
-
ears, eyes mouth? Our gates whatever comes
-
through. These Gates.
-
Go to our, what heart, and out of the abundance of my heart.
-
My mouth. What speaks and out of the
-
multitude of my words, my reality is created.
-
It's a power worship because when we open our mouths, we
-
shift our atmosphere, okay? So what I came in worried about
-
all of a sudden, it doesn't mean that look worship, doesn't make
-
the problem go away, worship brings me to a higher
-
perspective of my problem. So now my purse, my problem is
-
under my feet versus in my face. I stopped praying and
-
worshipping for things to go away.
-
Pray for strength and perspective, change.
-
So we have to guard our heart and only way to guard our heart
-
is to guard our gates. Because life or death, good or
-
bad. Whatever we are overflowing
-
with, if it's messiness, if it's anxiety of his anger.
-
If his complaining you know what, you're, what.
-
You're, you know, look, you know, I'm not gonna go there,
-
you know what you're overflowing with, okay.
-
You know, somebody say something about you.
-
They say something crazy to you and be like, man, I didn't mean
-
that. No, no you you kind of did.
-
You've been wanting to say that it's just today was the day that
-
it just had to come out. John Ford says that my food is
-
to do, the will of him who sent me and to complete it.
-
So Jesus says to his disciples. Listen, you might be satisfied
-
off of your sandwich. You just got in the village but
-
I'm fulfilled off of the Harvest that's coming this way.
-
What fulfills me and was satisfies you as two different
-
things. So it's kind of unfair for you
-
to come to me and say Pastor T, I need help.
-
It's like, won't you but you but but what you have to understand
-
is we might not be called to do the same thing but what fulfills
-
us we're called to the same thing.
-
So we might not be called to work in the same careers preach
-
on the same platforms, but for all of us, the will of God has
-
to be our nourishment. And the will of God will always
-
bring all of us fulfillment. Once we surrender to To it.
-
Okay. Why would you say the Harvest is
-
another four months away? Why would you say I'll get to it
-
later. You talk to people a lot of
-
times. Any like man one day I'm gonna
-
I'm gonna really get my life together, why are you waiting
-
till one day? One day I'm going to change
-
that. Why are you waiting till one
-
day? The Lord is saying the Harvest
-
not just talking for about souls.
-
But in this Harvest on the truck is your piece.
-
When he says it's harvest time, it's everything that's needed
-
for the Harvest is. Well, if God is calling me to be
-
a laborer in the marketplace, then I have to have my peace, my
-
wholeness, my healing. God, if you going to use me, I
-
need strength. I need courage on me boldness.
-
Hallelujah. He said look at all the people
-
coming. Love quest.
-
We know it, rather. It's 10:00 rather, it's 12:30
-
and for sure you can see it at 5:30, there's always new people
-
in every service. There's always people that have
-
not came yet that you talk to that's like one day.
-
I'm going to come. It's always people who come and
-
say, man, I've been watching. It was Ali lady came this
-
morning said, I've been watching for over a year and I finally
-
came. All right, there's people out
-
there. That God is moving on their
-
hearts. Here's guy.
-
In Winnipeg is like, man, I got a two-year plan.
-
Love quest is my church home stream all the time.
-
I gotta get some things together, some paperwork
-
together with, for my family but I'm bringing me in my family to
-
love quest in the next two years.
-
Right. There was a there was a young
-
lady. I forget who friended was she's
-
in Calgary or something. I forget who friended was.
-
She visited a couple weeks ago and she said, I don't, uh, I
-
miss this. I'm bringing everybody, right?
-
The Harvest is coming. The Harvest is here like it's
-
time, we're in the prophetic, not everybody.
-
Here has heard the prophetic word spoken over our house, but
-
all the so-called bad stuff has happened.
-
Now, we're in the good part of the prophecy, but listen, it's
-
all good. Right?
-
You don't have no cake without flour, but you ain't going to
-
eat no flour by itself, right? It's so, it's all good.
-
It was all necessary to shape us for this moment, but what are we
-
going to make our Wilderness season count?
-
Are you going to make the enemy pay?
-
Are you going to come out of all that work out all that time in
-
the word and come out to say man I ain't so I ain't made obey.
-
God ain't moved from New West to Vancouver to bed still in
-
Langley to come here. I didn't I didn't we didn't
-
double the cost by faith just for us to get here and be
-
afraid. Like, we not putting up these
-
tents, we not doing what we doing.
-
We're not being still and knowing he is God, we're not
-
working on our marriage. We not working on our family,
-
just so we can be the same. We work to be here, we fought to
-
be here. We didn't just go through a
-
pandemic and Thrive so we can come out of pandemic and sink.
-
Who are you? Some of y'all got the same
-
excitement you had before the pandemic and you two made it.
-
Through a pandemic may God has made a loud you and preserved
-
you to make it through a pandemic.
-
You better turn up one time for somebody that like we had a
-
rodeo. God is good.
-
Now, I want to find a prey raise that cost you something, you
-
know I'm saying? I'm a mess with you forever.
-
Say their hearts are ready. Their hearts are ready.
-
They're ready for the picking we're not held back by what we
-
don't have, but we are all held back by what we don't use.
-
No, this is not a half problem. This is a huge problem.
-
You keep on God bless me with and he like well, use that
-
first. Use that first floor.
-
Give me more. This he said, use that little
-
bit of bone issue. God.
-
Boldness grows because she's so it.
-
Acts 1:8 says, I'm the Holy Ghost come up on you and and
-
it's only for one reason, be my Witnesses.
-
Be my Witnesses. Well, if you're not going to be
-
a witness, you don't need power. If you're not going to be a
-
witness, you don't need miracles signs and wonders following you,
-
okay? If you want to be a pepper
-
Christian, just wait till you die or when Jesus.
-
Come back. Whichever one comes first and
-
then just gone. But if you want the power of God
-
on your life, then you won't have to go pee.
-
Holy Spirit has one mission for us and that's to empower us to
-
lead the captives to the freedom, and to Dominion.
-
Jesus set the cap. You got to remember this.
-
Jesus has set the captives free, but we have been ordained to
-
lead. The captives to Freedom.
-
We shall somebody showed me the way Jesus Took the shackles off.
-
But somebody have to disciple me to Freedom.
-
Acts 12. What we see here is Peter and is
-
imprisoned, the brother is sound asleep.
-
He got two chains on and he has two soldiers on either side of
-
him to make sure. So in other words, he is in Max
-
security. It says, when all at once an
-
angel of the Lord appeared, okay?
-
An angel of the Lord appeared we read last week in the scriptures
-
that God did not put the angels in charge to govern on Earth.
-
He put us in charge to govern on Earth, you the Ecclesia, the
-
ekklesia, you you govern, you bind and you loose.
-
But what we see here is we see an angel Kassim demonstration of
-
our job. He goes in brother sleep.
-
He be to he got he in some bondage and it says that the
-
angel comes and brings the light, just give me the light.
-
Right. Wherever you go, you should
-
bring the light, let me help people from different religions
-
but light is a person not in essence.
-
It's not just a little Beam on the inside.
-
It's a person in the beginning was the word and the Word was
-
with God. The Word was God, and that word,
-
that light went in the darkness and darkness could not stop it.
-
That person lives in you. And I and when he says, let your
-
light shine, he said, take the shackles off of Jesus.
-
Within yourself Jesus is in you, he purchased you so that he can
-
live through you not just in you let him out.
-
So, the angel said, hey, Peter wake up, buddy.
-
Hurry up. Let's go instantly.
-
The chains fell off his wrist, white, how instantly, because
-
the Harvest is ready, the Harvest is ready.
-
And the angel told him, get dressed.
-
I'm not him. I'm gonna move forward.
-
You got to go listen to Spotify this week and get the Revelation
-
from the rest of this. I'm going to get in some new
-
stuff, okay? So when it loosens the grips of
-
hell off of City, So winning so winners.
-
We so winning. Loosens the grid, every person
-
you set free That's less power. Hell has on a city.
-
You want Jesus to hurry up and come back and start Soul.
-
Winning. So winners cover, not condemned,
-
man. If you, you know, I can't wait
-
to tell my friends. So I was doing this right?
-
I was doing this. I was, I was wondering like, you
-
know, we're flooded with content, right?
-
So you'll get preachers, who preach?
-
They got so much word in them. How can I say this?
-
Everybody has their own unique call, and, and and called to
-
their own. Context and culture and all
-
that, right? So I look at people back in the
-
States manage some powerful speakers, right?
-
But when you watch them live, they'll it's a perfect 30
-
minutes, 35, maybe Max, boom. So when they upload, they sermon
-
on YouTube is from start to finish message. 35 minutes,
-
boom. Because that's people attention
-
span within. There's something in me.
-
I don't want to make, I don't want to preach content sermons.
-
I don't want to preach in a way so I can make sure I have
-
content. So you know anybody watch.
-
Like there's there's a style go there could be over here could
-
be over here. I could be like hey and I'll
-
give you a lot of scripture in the Lord's just like, we have
-
the unique opportunity to preach to a context and demographic.
-
Many preachers that look like me don't have How do you preach?
-
So if I preach 30 minutes by Caprice 30, I could preach five.
-
I could preach 15. I do it.
-
I've done it but I'll pop that message.
-
Kind of will only stick to mature listeners, but when you
-
take the time, you gotta crack a joke here because I see grumpy
-
face over here. So I need to work on them
-
because I want to make sure they get it to right.
-
I'm talking to the like last Sunday we identified.
-
This is Single section. Like a lot of younger people
-
there in here. High school kids, right?
-
We had a parent came today because they said, their kid
-
came home crying from the chapel, we did, they have to
-
come check it out, right? So you got people from, you
-
know, Pakistan. You got people from different
-
parts of America, you got Russians, and you got people
-
from all different walks of life.
-
You got Christians who never been really got the word just it
-
Church. You got always demographics, go.
-
Going on, right? You got the Muslim in here, you
-
got the Buddhist in here. You got the prostitute in here,
-
you got the pimp in here. You got the drug dealer in here,
-
you got the and then we just have worship how we have
-
worship. How do you rush that?
-
Right. So winners that we cover people,
-
we see people, we feel people, we hear people, and God is also
-
looking for a church because if he's going to send all religions
-
and if he goes say he's going to send.
-
If he goes in all religions and All Nations to a place, then it
-
takes time to reach all but when you look at people on the stakes
-
were talk menu, talking back going to place back home and I'm
-
talking everybody look like me and you We do the same.
-
You say you say, Steph Curry, everybody know.
-
Steph Curry you say? They'll tenth man on the bench.
-
Everybody know who it is, right? You say, R&B singer.
-
Everybody know where you say a joke.
-
Everybody laughing because we came from the same cloth, but
-
here I got all kind of stuff going through my mind.
-
Like I'll be going crazy up here because I'm like, what you like
-
who's in here. And then if I say something I'm
-
like oh that didn't stick. So let me get cuz I'm fishing.
-
Amen. Well, God is about to do on this
-
block. This city has never seen before.
-
You see first Peter he tells us that love covers a multitude of
-
sins love covers a multitude of sins.
-
Romans 2 says that we should not take the grace of God and the
-
love of God and the kindness of God for granted because his
-
kindness should lead us to repentance his kindness should
-
lead us to repentance, not taking advantage.
-
He says he says do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make
-
you take him for granted and despise him.
-
Look, this is very key. Haven't you experienced?
-
How kind and understanding he has been to you.
-
Don't mistake God's tolerance for his acceptance.
-
Don't think because you're not experiencing the fruit of your
-
wildness, it means god, accepts it, I don't ever want my wife,
-
my kids, my friends, the church leaders being tolerated.
-
Don't feel good. I don't just want God's grace on
-
my life and he's just like tolerating.
-
But there's somewhere, he's trying to get me to but I'm just
-
stubborn, right? So when his draw the lines in
-
the sand, so winners, draw the lines in the sand.
-
Here's what love quest did. Literally once we get that
-
building next door, I'm just talking crazy right now.
-
But whatever once we get that building next door, we would
-
have a line. In this, we will We every end we
-
got we gonna get four big condo plexus right here with a little
-
mall and grocery store right there.
-
That bank is going to be moved and be another condo on the
-
other side. You got a little Plaza right
-
there with low bar and a little everybody just acting you don't
-
saying they just doing everything over here.
-
You got BC Lions over there but that whole property back there.
-
It's on the table right now. It's gonna if it's approved.
-
But more than likely It will be, it's going to be an arena over
-
there because there's either like BC place or what's the
-
other one, um, Rogers Arena. But there's nothing like in the
-
middle. Something a little smaller,
-
10,000 12,000 people, everything else is Big.
-
It's gonna be a concert place and all that.
-
And then you're gonna have condos all over there.
-
And I'm sure these little places don't get bought out, and we
-
going to be right here in the middle.
-
And right around us, we will have over 20,000 residents.
-
So we got to be loud. Because don't come to church
-
people come in from the condos and it's overflowing no season
-
because, hey, justjust sit on your balcony, we don't roll up.
-
The bay doors, you'll hear us You gotta understand where God
-
is strategically placed us. He's put us in a place where
-
people have been overlooked written off and we've come to
-
draw a line in the sand and say Satan enough is enough, right?
-
Enough is enough. So, John 8, we see that.
-
Then in the middle of his teaching, the religious scholars
-
in the middle of this brother teaching in the religious folks
-
come and broke through the crowd and brought a woman who had been
-
caught. In the act of committing
-
adultery and made her stand in the middle of everyone.
-
That wants, you understand? This wasn't she was called
-
afterwards. Now this what the Bible say, she
-
wouldn't call after she wasn't caught before, she was called
-
during they snatched her during like what?
-
Like, I don't like watching First 48.
-
I'll tell y'all that all the time and sometimes when they
-
roll up on you, whatever you got on, you going, To the police
-
station in that pose, we like brother.
-
Can I get my shoes and get in the car?
-
so I'm sure they was ready to persecute this woman, but more
-
than persecute her exposed, Jesus, Snatched her up.
-
How humiliating bring her in the middle of the audience that
-
Jesus has and puts her smack in the middle?
-
And it says, teacher, we caught this woman in the very Act of
-
adultery. Does it Moses law command us to
-
Stone to death of a woman like this?
-
These are like, people. That's like my Theology and
-
where you get your Doctrine from his, his like, wait, what does
-
the word say that? And what, how do you get that
-
brought in the Bible? And, you know, these religious
-
cult. Why are you guys Guys doing that
-
in your church. Isn't that this and isn't that
-
that they're coming to question, Jesus to poke holes in who he
-
says he is? He says.
-
They doesn't Moses in anything to tell us.
-
Tell us what do you say we should do with her?
-
You're like huh. Let's see what Jesus said.
-
Do I want you to see this because God is going to do
-
something that many people have not been willing, or maybe not
-
have to regulate them. Let's put it this way, maybe not
-
call to do. No one's wrong.
-
Everybody's called, We're called to do a.
-
We're call to do. Okay.
-
So this put it on us. But people will question.
-
What do you have all those? Right?
-
You gay people coming in huh? How y'all just You just don't
-
how can a gay person. Uh, sure.
-
Can they can are kanae and I did a teaching on, was the title Can
-
you be gay and saved? It's on YouTube.
-
I'm gonna teach on animal. I'ma bring it back again.
-
All right, because the church has done a poor job at
-
representing God's heart. There's no compromise.
-
You can love without compromise, right?
-
That's religion. But there's a place for all
-
nations. There's a there's a way to do
-
things without hurting people and compromising the gospel.
-
And when you really have the love of God perfect love, casts
-
out all fear when you really have the love of God and
-
understand God's heart, The Father's Heart man, a lot of
-
stuff we've been putting on God, he's like how dare you tell
-
people? I represent me like like that.
-
All right, there only test in Jesus because they hoped to trap
-
him with his own words and accuse him of being Breaking the
-
laws of Moses but Jesus didn't answer them.
-
I love Jesus right here. Here's something for you guys.
-
Moving forward. It's harvest time.
-
You don't have to answer people, okay?
-
I don't know who I'm talking to but some people you have to stop
-
giving that they did. They don't really want an
-
answer. They're trying to prove a case
-
in the more you're trying to explain The people you're
-
burning yourself out. Okay, look, but Jesus didn't
-
answer them. Instead, he simply bent down and
-
wrote in the dust with his finger.
-
Look at this. Look at this angry.
-
Of course, they was angry. They kept it.
-
You got to understand how silence is a weapon, not
-
ignoring people. There's a difference between me
-
ignoring you and me not answering stupidity.
-
So, don't let people manipulate you.
-
Why are you ignoring me? I'm not ignoring you, I just
-
don't have an answer for you. They kept insisting that he
-
answer their question so Jesus stood up and looked.
-
So here's another reason to be quiet to get the right response.
-
Not the emotional response. So he's getting a word.
-
That will cause results not his religious answer, but he's
-
getting some Remo right now. I love these Jesus answers
-
because it's like, dang, how you going?
-
I try to give a few of them sometime and it works the same
-
way. It leaves people puzzled because
-
they like wait a minute. I don't like your answer but you
-
not wrong. Let's have the man who has never
-
had a sinful desire, throw the first stone at her.
-
So they try to get the perfect man.
-
The Savior, the sand, Then he bent over again and wrote some
-
more words. I love it in the what?
-
Come on in the what in the what what do you think those stones
-
were made? Moses law was made on what was
-
it written on tablets and what do you think those tablets were
-
created out of? I Think Jesus right here was
-
presenting a new law. Yeah, it is.
-
They came bringing tablets to Jesus.
-
Right. Hello.
-
On the tablet of your heart. Okay.
-
All right. It's good.
-
It's good. So so he bends down in the sand.
-
And he's illustrating a new law and you find that new law in
-
Matthew 22. Because they asked him again
-
later. Love the Lord, your God with all
-
your heart, all your soul, all your mind.
-
And the second is like it. Love your neighbor as you love,
-
right? He bends down because I love how
-
he left it open. Many scholars, many people, his
-
my own little Revelation. Okay, he's writing a new law and
-
he's standing in the Gap. He's drawing a line, he's not
-
condemning with them. Upon hearing that that her
-
accusers. Slowly left the crowd one at a
-
time beginning with the oldest to the youngest with the
-
convicted conscience. I want you to see this love can
-
VIXX it doesn't condemn because conviction draws, you closer to
-
Jesus condemnation, pushes you away from Jesus.
-
You want to know the difference when you are if you want to know
-
how if you're a conqueror being condemned or convicted, or if
-
you're being offended is because it's drawn you away from the
-
body conviction always draws you to Jesus.
-
How do I I know that because the word told me.
-
So it look at he says, until finally, Jesus was left alone
-
with the woman still standing there in front of him.
-
Let me help. All you at the end of the day,
-
when all else fails, you'll be standing right there with Jesus.
-
So he stood back up and said to her, dear woman, where are your
-
accusers? So do it.
-
Now, I want you guys when you're taking authority, over your
-
anxiousness and all of that, I want you to see Jesus.
-
This is a picture Jesus, didn't worry.
-
One bit, he had all these religious people who wanted him
-
to prove himself, and he just bent down.
-
Hey guys. if any of you have never sinned, please throw the
-
stone And one by one, they dropped their Stones walk away
-
and he stands up and he's looking at the woman-101, I look
-
started with me. It's going to end with me.
-
Want you to see what he told her looking around.
-
She replied I see no one Lord. Jesus said then I certainly
-
don't condemn you either. What he's telling you is
-
religion, always condemns. He said I will never condemn you
-
as the song says Malia was saying earlier.
-
Now we vote to end, turn it off. We about to end.
-
Okay, what do you we can do unlimited heat, we can even get
-
the ladder and people can sit up there if they want to, we can
-
get that after that, okay? Look so Hey, listen to me.
-
What was I saying? Yeah, the song, the song.
-
Never lost. No, but she was.
-
She referred to the song you were singing?
-
Who you say? I am, like, no, there was some,
-
but whatever. Is it was, it was good.
-
It was his about Jesus, it was about Jesus.
-
No, no. It's okay.
-
But but the point here is he saying?
-
The religion will always condemn, you religious
-
Christians, religious churches will always condemn you.
-
And here's the thing with some religions that I get, your
-
religion is good, but anytime your religion begins to box
-
people out and say you can't be friends with them.
-
You can't marry that kind of person like with Jesus, even if
-
you marry someone outside of your culture or your religion,
-
if you bring him into it, he could still work with it.
-
Me and my wife met in a club man.
-
Yes. She gave her life to Christ.
-
But just because she gave her life to Christ.
-
Don't mean she was living a christ-like life.
-
We were still in ways. Unequally yoked God can turn
-
anything around. I love this.
-
He says go and be free from a life of sin.
-
It is possible for us to be free.
-
He didn't say go in there. Verse in one translation does
-
but this is more interpretive of it.
-
He didn't say go and don't ever don't ever mess up.
-
He said be free from the wages of sin.
-
So if you mess up, I'm here just get back up.
-
Sin. No longer has the power to keep
-
you away from God unless you let it The grace of God has blazed a
-
path of Deliverance, leading to a life of Salvation that
-
establishes in a life of power. Hold this and Justice, the grace
-
of God has blazed a path of Deliverance leading to a life of
-
Salvation that establishes us in a life of power, Holiness and
-
justice. Close here.
-
Because what I saw Jesus do with the woman, I also see it done on
-
a grander. I can't even say a grander
-
scale, but I want you to see this picture of drawn A Line in
-
the Sand. That illustrates the massiveness
-
of what Jesus did for that woman.
-
When the king of Egypt was told that the people were gone he and
-
his servants changed their minds.
-
They said, what have we done? Letting Israel are slave.
-
Labor, go free. See, this is when you wrapped up
-
in this and this is how the devil looks at us.
-
We his say, we laboring for him, so he had his chariots,
-
harnessed up and got his army together.
-
He took 600 of his best chariots with the rest of the Egyptian
-
chariots and their drivers coming along.
-
God made pharaoh who made Pharaoh king of Egypt, stubborn
-
You get this. I need y'all to get this.
-
I need y'all to get this and some time to stuff.
-
Your blame it on the devil, guys.
-
Why are you so stubborn? I truly believe to this day,
-
there was things that I was praying and wishing.
-
My wife would do and be and I swear the Holy Ghost told me one
-
day, he was just like, no, you do your job.
-
I've allowed the stubborn to mold the love. and it's when you
-
start meeting people to change, so you can be you When you
-
really Break Free. But stop blaming the devil.
-
There's some things that God allows to Stubborn up on you
-
because he's trying to get something through David.
-
Need it Saul because there was some Saul and David So you got
-
people that make it, oh my God. I wow.
-
Oh my God, then people in your life some of those people are
-
divinely placed in your life. Because there's that, I'll use
-
it this way. Do you think everybody that we
-
lead is our homies? My everybody came here package
-
to just be people. We just need it to be.
-
No. But there's challenges and then
-
let alone you got all nations sitting at the leadership table.
-
You got folks saying yes faster, we heard it.
-
And Sunday, come and All Nations.
-
Heard something all different. So you get them extra phone
-
calls, and it takes year after year communicating same vision
-
over and over again. Not replacing people, but
-
building people. Now, if you refusing to be
-
built, then you have accepted to be replaced.
-
But you replace yourself. Close here.
-
He said, he gave the Egyptians gave.
-
Chase and caught up my have to deal with this tonight but gave
-
Chase and caught up. As Pharaoh approached the
-
Israelites I want. You see, they were free.
-
This is why Soul winning and discipleship is so important
-
because we can't leave people at accepting Jesus because there is
-
a time where the enemy is going to make a run back for him and
-
catch up to him. How many times have your past
-
caught up to you? How many times that old Shelf
-
caught up to you? Yeah, you got, you got a head
-
when you got free, you got a head start.
-
But that thing's coming right back to you, Bible says, seven
-
times stronger. This is why we got to disciple
-
people. So when it show up They find the
-
house not vacant but they find it filled and they find it
-
equipped and people can stand the seven times stronger, you
-
just saw because you got saved know life is just great now.
-
Yeah it's great because you know how to fight.
-
Now not because you go to church now.
-
So he says there was coming at me says Now these people are
-
weren't the cemeteries large enough, I'm gonna pick up here
-
tonight but now they start and I want to go back to the past
-
because they're saying going backwards, where we were was
-
better being slaves, then they have to go forward.
-
Now, the Drawing the Line in the Sand Moses.
-
Stuck is Rod out and guess what happened?
-
Another Drawing, the Line in the Sand, the Red Sea.
-
And the same thing that Jesus did for that woman is the same
-
thing. Moses did.
-
The same thing, God did for the children of Israel.
-
God's always been drawing a Line in the Sand.
-
God's always been making a way to the promise, and this is what
-
we do as New Testament, believers.
-
We stand in the gap for people and we draw lines in the sand
-
and we defend the faith and we defend the feeble and we defend
-
our own mindsets. We have to draw the line in the
-
sand in our thought life. So when thoughts come up today
-
not tomorrow today guess what? Draw a line in the sand in the
-
sand and say enough is enough. I'm not that I am strong.
-
I'm not gonna give up. I'm not gonna relapse.
-
Laughs whatever it is. My family won't divide.
-
I won't be poor. I won't be poverty-stricken.
-
I'm not dumb. I am more than enough because
-
he's more than enough. I can make it.
-
I am strong anxiety, get under my feet.
-
Just keep Drawing the Line in the Sand.
-
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you that we do not get
-
weary from Drawing the Line in the Sand that we become bold and
-
we take back what has been stolen?
-
Lord, we thank you that our courage Rises up our bonus Rises
-
up. That we do know who we are
-
worship team. You can come up that we do know
-
who we are. We do know who we are.
-
Come on. Say I'm chosen.
-
I know who I am. I'm a Child of God.
-
Go. There's a place for me.
-
I am strong. The enemy is under my clone
-
enemies under my feet. I am not intimidated.
-
I am not a coward. Okay, we're gonna say this
-
again, Troy. Troy was talking real long and
-
I'm not a coward. Malia was talking about to come
-
on. Y'all don't need no microphones.
-
Come on, chose it. But you gotta say it with all.
-
You gotta say that thing. So, we also pretty, I'll just
-
pretty with this thing, right? Have you anybody ever yelled at
-
somebody? Okay, some of y'all lying in
-
church. I just we just come on when you,
-
when you, when that thing start rising up in you and you release
-
that Yale you ever yell at somebody and say, something
-
crazy and you just kind of startled.
-
You like All right. Some people start shaking like,
-
but how did you start shaking by raising your voice, right?
-
You release something. There was, there was some.
-
So sometimes when you say, when you say things, you need some
-
fervor, you need some, you need some on, you need to reposition
-
yourself so that you can send that signal to, to the depths of
-
your soul, right? It's like setting, something is
-
like these concrete slab stairs, holding these tents down.
-
If you go look, there's these nails about Big around, but
-
they're about that long. And every last one on this
-
little, man was just bow. There's those nails that long
-
that's in the concrete. Right?
-
And you gotta, you gotta, you gotta Hammer this word in these
-
affirmations, you got a hammer in your soul, and it's not for
-
you to just walk around and every day and be like, man, I'm
-
bold, I'm courageous. But when you've buried it, deep
-
enough, when you need that affirmation, you don't need it
-
from others. But what you've buried in your
-
soul, will rise up right here. Here's the word about it.
-
He says that the word of God is the sword of the Holy Spirit,
-
which simply means that I need to put the word inside of me.
-
So when things come the enemy takes that same word and brings
-
it to remembrance, and he Wars for me.
-
And he Wars with me. So calm.
-
I'm strong, I'm Mighty, I am somebody.
-
I'm fast. I'm quick, I'm courageous.
-
I am long-lasting. I am long-suffering.
-
I am patient. I am kind.
-
I am an overcomer. I'm not a worrier.
-
I'm a celebrator. I got mixed faith.
-
Strong faith! I have an imagination!
-
I have creativity and perseverance.
-
In Jesus name, I'm a son of God. I'm a daughter of the most high.
-
I am wealthy in my soul. I am prosperous in my mind.
-
I will make it, make it make, it made it more than a conqueror.
-
God is pleased with me. In Jesus name in Jesus name now,
-
Shadow Valley one time, That's where y'all want to come in.
-
Bring it down, bring it out too late.
-
Amen. Hallelujah.
-
They missed it. Giving neighbor high five and
-
say, they missed it. Missed it, missed it, missed it.
-
That's what I was yellow. That's what I was doing.
-
All that yelling ball now, then, LOL.
-
In the name of Jesus, we thank you at the worship team, won't
-
miss it, no more, or we thank you.
-
That we are courageous and we are strong and we are bald.
-
We do have patience. We're not a hot mess, we're not.
-
How come? I feel like somebody has to tell
-
they self that today, because you think you'll have Miss.
-
Come on, tell you. I'm not a hot mess.
-
Oh dang, that many people. Amen.
-
I just want to remind you guys that there's a foundational
-
track and building blocks coming up.
-
November 26, for those that want to mean, I get it.
-
You can make love question church family, but if you ever
-
plan to serve one day, and you want to know a little bit more
-
about love quest, you want to Just kind of be rooted in that
-
way by understanding, what your part of November 26, is our last
-
one in of the year. And so that's a 10 a.m. as well
-
as December 11th. This is a big day for us
-
especially at the stage where in there's a lot of people, man, if
-
you think about where we were even at best, there is so many
-
more people at our church than even in that switch.
-
So it's a lot of people who did not partake In the rim that
-
project. But um I will I will be very
-
transparent with you guys. You know, I had no we don't have
-
any, like example, we reached out to our pastor friends, we
-
got wisdom, we talk to our Architects, all that stuff, and
-
we came up with the best and guesstimated above what we were
-
raising for next door. Anybody know the We next door
-
was all we was after and then the Lord said my eyes on these
-
two spaces just for parking and then come to find out the people
-
wanted us to have this. And I'm like, also all
-
faithfully. And I will tell you that we are,
-
we went from being in Strathcona and back to Vancouver, roughly
-
around 10, thousand dollars a month.
-
Mind you, we started with 11 people. people, you know, mind
-
you I'm a grant and we didn't Come here not one Church of
-
until I don't know eight months ago, partner with us, we don't
-
have relationships like that. Yet.
-
We have to prove ourselves but Mom I would say 99% of our
-
giving came from people that go to this church, that believe the
-
word of God, which is how we want to build, but then we went
-
from 10 to you. Can imagine here in Surrey how
-
much 3 buildings would cause Yes.
-
And I'm telling you do to the victory seed and due to the
-
first fruits eat in February. And then consistent giving, we
-
have not have to Flinch one bit to continue to work here as well
-
as meet that 20 plus thousand dollars a month.
-
We're here long term. Only thing that's gonna move us
-
out of here is growth and even then, we don't know what God is
-
going to do. We'll cross that road but the
-
victory seed, all I have to say is a lot of the money that came
-
in at first that we took in four.
-
Next door has been what has allowed us to renovate both of
-
these buildings. Right?
-
So now that we're approaching this building, we still have in
-
mind you what we were going after before we were still 200
-
Grand under, but But that wasn't a sign of a lack of generosity.
-
Like we gave, right? But again, the amount of people
-
we had, in our church versus how many we have now relationships
-
in the city and I get it, God is going to build this thing.
-
So as we approach building this and then we're going to have to
-
come in here, make this our youth center, and what it's
-
going to take to make that it finished at our studio looks
-
absolutely phenomenal. Next door is really, really dope
-
and we're nowhere near This. That anyways, so December 11th.
-
We will have our in the year giving, which we always do.
-
That is no specific. See, we're asking for, which is
-
asking for generosity. We've had people come and bring
-
10,000 25,000, $510, that's up to you, and what God wants to
-
get through you, here's what I do.
-
Want to remind, you don't look at what you have asked, God what
-
he wants. You to give, okay, there's
-
people who can testify, they didn't have nothing to give but
-
they wanted to give and the Lord came through and they were able
-
to give really big. It's in February where we have a
-
specific scene that we ask for from everyone.
-
So December 11th will be a phenomenal day because we will
-
be doing something that Jesus talked about, in the Bible, more
-
than he talked about heaven and or Hell, giving is a part of
-
This Kingdom and Kingdom, economics.
-
The world. We buy and sell the kingdom of
-
God we sow and reap. Okay?
-
And so promotion in the kingdom, comes by sowing and reaping.
-
Not by buying and selling, there's things that God can and
-
will bring every last one of us. And if I was to unleash some
-
stories and hear what God has done in this year, through some
-
faithful soldiers, I'm talking about stuff that will absolutely
-
blow your mind and I'm going to talk to them and see if they're
-
willing to tell those testimonies with, Some
-
testimonies you don't want to tell because they're people be
-
all in your business and be thinking they can ask you for
-
stuff, right? We don't want to make, we don't
-
want to expose people so they can be bombarded by manipulation
-
and so we'll see. But December 11th, please bring
-
and prepare your seat. It would be a great time of
-
worship, okay? And we have our Christmas
-
Productions, December, 17th, and December 18th marketing, your
-
calendar. Working hard, make sure you
-
bring your family and then we are having service on Christmas.
-
Why? Because Christmas falls on a
-
Sunday and nothing changes. We will not have all three
-
services. We will have a stripped-down
-
timeframe but there are people will come.
-
And and I mean I thought that's what Christmas is all about what
-
they meant and then Saturday we will have a Christmas Eve
-
service for people. That would like man I'm gonna go
-
on Christmas Eve and instead instead of Sunday so we'll have
-
a Saturday Six pm option and then we'll have a Sunday 12:00
-
p.m. option I believe and a six pm option because some people do
-
they morning things. Some people do they eat
-
anything. We want to give people an
-
opportunity. And then lastly, we will have a
-
New Year's Eve celebration. We dress up.
-
We have live performance, we have fresh Word, Worship,
-
mocktails, food, all that cool stuff.
-
New Year's Eve will be here with bring in the New Year together
-
in our own building. Absolutely.
-
And then we will be here the following day.
-
Only at 5:30 though because we know we're not going to leave
-
here at 1:00 a.m. and then come right back.
-
So with 5:30, but on the first day of the year, we will be
-
doing baptisms. So if you know, somebody I want
-
to be baptized what a day to be baptized, you know, about Wonder
-
Wednesdays, what a great victory that are hoop team have Friday
-
night. And I just want to remind you
-
listen. It's playoff time okay?
-
For those that don't know what the playoffs is if we lose we go
-
home and that ain't happening. If a knows that was there
-
Friday, we played a team that we played again so it's a rematch
-
and we play at 750 so we need everybody, especially that has
-
never been to a game to come out if we lose, we go home.
-
But we need three games to win a championship.
-
Shh, we need to to get there, but if you lose Friday, guess
-
what we going to be watching somebody else play.
-
If we win Friday, we will get a opportunity because I'm assuming
-
that Emerson and they team is going to win.
-
No, cuz they playing Friday. And and the crazy part about it
-
is like I wanted to wait because that's a championship game but
-
come to find out because of the way they say.
-
It up G to win on Friday and if we went on Friday we get to have
-
some good brotherly love war. All right, it's gonna be good.
-
It's gonna be good. And so just how come and help us
-
win? And I'm not sure when they play,
-
but if they play before us, let's get there.
-
A little early and cheer for em a Emerson.
-
And the team, he's on, he's a part of this church is part of
-
family, and if they play after us, will stick around a little
-
bit and support them as well, but it's Fun is really fun.
-
All right, so way we reach the community as well.
-
I think that's it. Is that it?
-
That it that it closes up, huh? No.
-
We already said that our clothes our already.
-
But Lord. We just thank you.
-
We thank you that you're here. We thank you that your presence
-
is with us. We thank you that you love us.
-
And that, yeah, God, that everything that we need is here.
-
Thank you. That you have called us your own
-
that you have called. Your children bless us as we go.
-
And Lord, let us continue to be a blessing to everyone.
-
We meet. Let us pour out.
-
What's been poured into US father so that we can continue
-
to spread the goodness of who you are and be Fishers of Men.
