  48. Amen. I just want to testify briefly,

  49. I don't want no details but man last Sunday night I'm just

  50. telling you. If you belong to this church you

  51. got to come to a 5:30 service. At least I would I would I would

  52. I would do it at least once a month.

  53. Let me tell you. If you really love yourself, You

  54. would get to 5:30 at least once a month and you would come to

  55. Wednesday nights at least once a month, at least.

  56. Once. I'm trying to tell you yourself,

  57. would appreciate yourself. If you did that last Sunday, the

  58. place was absolutely packed. The altar was packed.

  59. We had little over 30 people, get a life to Jesus, and man,

  60. That's that's what we do at four.

  61. We had, we had some, we have we have, God is sending us and I'm

  62. telling you. There has to be a church in the

  63. world where the Father, the creator of the universe.

  64. There has to be a church, that's courageous enough, bold enough,

  65. confident enough, and loving enough, that can house all

  66. religions without compromising Jesus Christ.

  67. And I think it was two weeks ago.

  68. No, it was last week, God was giving me on the way home and

  69. I've been home slowly but surely getting revelation of why he he

  70. named this church. Love quest.

  71. Que wasn't some little name. I want it or read it in a book.

  72. I twist it words, I don't like using stuff other people use and

  73. all of that. And I remember going through

  74. like, 60 names, this is 2008. I didn't know what it's for, but

  75. then Lord, drop Love quest 2016. When I was deciding us Stay here

  76. or go home because what we came here for didn't work out he

  77. said, No Love quest. Remember that 2008, remember

  78. that name? I told you to write down that's

  79. a church here. Canada, awesome, Levin people

  80. then you know, few years later, here we are.

  81. And but this idea is every religion is on a love quest.

  82. Every human being is on a love quest.

  83. Every last one I would like to believe that the name of our

  84. church is every humans motivation.

  85. You give me money. You can say all that.

  86. But Ultra through money, you looking for through

  87. relationships, you looking for through careers, you looking

  88. forward through social media through deep down on the inside,

  89. we were made by love created by love, created for love period.

  90. Point Blank, that's what it all boils down.

  91. When we die, we go enter back to love either.

  92. Going to The to eternal love or Eternal fear one of the other

  93. life or death. And so for me, when I say love

  94. quest, the Lord is going to challenge.

  95. Here, we are going to be a, I don't even want to say a sample,

  96. but we are going to be a living example.

  97. Here's what the scripture says. I'm anointing you to go to All

  98. Nations. Right.

  99. But there's also he's anointing us to house all nations, right?

  100. The church looked at different back then, they didn't have

  101. buildings like this but God is bringing all nations.

  102. How do I know that? Because he's bringing all

  103. nations just to this country period.

  104. So if he's bringing all nations to this country, let's boil it

  105. down to Vancouver. Did you know?

  106. Did you know? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong

  107. Kay-Kay, we got our notes, we got our facts.

  108. But do you know? Canada.

  109. Give me my notes. Give my notes, give my notes.

  110. Okay. Canada has the largest Sikh

  111. population in the world outside of India.

  112. See. See y'all you know I'm saying?

  113. Y'all just looking for Christians.

  114. We have some Sikhs in here last week.

  115. But seeks guess what? They read.

  116. Bible Quran. Break the Lord told us to seek

  117. him first. Right, right.

  118. We got seek seeking more than Christian seeking God.

  119. And what we've done, we demonize religions and know.

  120. They're, they're not there, that's what they grew up in.

  121. But as I told 10 a.m. services like shame on us, because if you

  122. make Christianity, a religion, we're not as powerful as other

  123. religions, as a religion, because other religions,

  124. actually, be living this thing Christians, we be playing

  125. around. You asked us to fast.

  126. We can plane. Then you ask us to knock on

  127. doors and witness we can play them.

  128. Like but there's a religions that's owning colleges and in

  129. and out. Look on the bottom of your cup

  130. and french fries. Next time, if you ever, go eat

  131. in and out, Right. What like there's religious but

  132. in Christianity, we persecute too much money.

  133. You know how stupid we sound like, we need all the money.

  134. We can have, we just need Integrity.

  135. We need two things, integrity and vision but a poet Church

  136. ain't, helping ain't changing no City.

  137. Cake is so majority of sick, people reside in four cities

  138. Brampton Ontario Suri. Calgary Alberta and Abbotsford

  139. British Columbia. And I'm trying to, I'm trying to

  140. help the church, right? So we can stop looking for

  141. church transfers. A place like love quest is going

  142. to be filled with religion can religious conversions because

  143. what God is looking for is soldiers.

  144. So like he you look at what he did with Saul, he he converted a

  145. Christian murderer. Because he wanted to do away

  146. with the murder kinda, but he wanted saw the slay, the devil,

  147. he wanted us all to have that same fire.

  148. He don't lose the fire, don't lose the passion, just switch

  149. the context. So God will take some people who

  150. are on fire for another God. Haven't encountered a?

  151. I well, that's that. Okay, that's your God.

  152. Okay. Read your Bible.

  153. You'll see a lot of that. We're going to preach on that

  154. tonight. And then he gonna say no, keep

  155. the fire. You, wow.

  156. You wild out there in the world. Why you think he saved me?

  157. So I was on fire for the devil, man.

  158. I was turned up in the clubs, he's like, oh, I like the way

  159. you praise because I was the cat that going to Club while all the

  160. fellas. Don't look go with the drink and

  161. the pinkie up and the dance floor, empty.

  162. I didn't need no woman. I didn't even nobody to start

  163. the party. You give me some music.

  164. I'm on the floor by myself Lourdes, like I need that kind

  165. of guy. Right?

  166. I can tell, what kind of people some people y'all was at the

  167. club, right? He's like, no.

  168. Keep the passion. Keep the unashamed.

  169. Itness. Right?

  170. He going to he go, he going to strip club and he want the

  171. person who unashamed to be in the strip club.

  172. He's like they didn't come on, come on.

  173. I'm about to take because he did.

  174. I'm a mess with your mind. Jesus, like, I'm a stripper too.

  175. Read read the scripture in Ephesians 4:23, he says strip.

    Ephesians 4:23

  176. Yourself. I know some of y'all religious

  177. Minds. Can't you like?

  178. Oh my God. He just blasphemy is.

  179. No, it's not you. We just give the devil too much

  180. stuff, right? We party.

  181. We celebrate Hey, we joke around.

  182. We got a good sense of humor. Right, we're strong.

  183. Right? We got swag we got Charisma like

  184. this is all the stuff we give the world and we call anybody

  185. that's in the Pullman Pulpit with Charisma false prophet.

  186. Amen. But I just need you to know if

  187. we could turn the heater off now.

  188. Thank you. We didn't have that thing

  189. rolling all day. Please thank you.

  190. Watch your head. Come on, okay.

  191. Hey man, he hey, man. Hey man, we got one way, man.

  192. That's fine. Remember 15-15-15 515 all five

  193. minutes on. Lee.

  194. All right um so with Lord showed is that love quest has to get

  195. prepared for all nations and what that means he says, so we

  196. have to get ready. We have to also get ready for

  197. religious folks to persecute us. So if you worried about what

  198. your friends and your family, think you're not going to be

  199. that great a witness because they going to be just like, they

  200. were City, why y'all talking to that prostitute?

  201. Don't you remember? He was selling drugs and Wally.

  202. Well what a great witness week snatch somebody out of Wally

  203. that was selling drugs and wildly to like this guy right

  204. here, this buff clean guy that just did first time attendees on

  205. the same grounds. He sold drugs in I might get to

  206. it later on today but I will for sure get into it tonight.

  207. The power of a testimony though and how traumatizing Our

  208. Testimony. A true testimony is to the devil

  209. and this is partially why? It's traumatizing because

  210. actually, what you're traumatized, what your, what

  211. your testimony represents you, by the time, I get to tell my

  212. testimony, I show no signs of what I'm talking about.

  213. So I'm actually presenting you a story that you can't even

  214. imagine. Like if I told you I was on

  215. heroin or crack cocaine or some you be like no way I would have

  216. never guessed right and so is traumatizing and I'm gonna get

  217. to it later because if you are Yang, okay?

  218. You know, we like I'm a x. I'ma X right now, this is for

  219. people who ready to house Revelation, how can you be a x

  220. when you're brand new? This is mindset because second

  221. Corinthians will get to later. He says he makes all things new.

  222. So, how can you be a x if you're really new?

  223. And we'll get to that later. Kay kay, Hallelujah, I prayed

  224. already did I pray already? Okay, you didn't.

  225. But I did. Okay.

  226. Awesome. Let's do this.

  227. Let's do some reviews. Say tis the season.

  228. He says and all I'm saying is tis the season yes to be jolly

  229. all of that but tis the season this is Harvest Time and I need

  230. you to wake up this is not worry about career time this is not

  231. worry about spouse time this is not worry about this is the

  232. season to not be distracted tis, tis the season to position

  233. yourself because it sometime this is this is this is a

  234. mixture of people. I'm talking about on one hand

  235. I'm talking to the believer who is Called to be in the Harvest

  236. field. And when Souls on the other

  237. hand, you will also be able to relate to this as a gospel

  238. message. Because as we're talking about

  239. sharing the gospel, you also hear the gospel shared if you've

  240. never heard the gospel, right? So, there's the Harvest is in

  241. here, but also, laborers are in here.

  242. You identify, which one you are. Matthew 5 says, we are to be the

  243. salt seasoning of the earth sauce.

  244. Seasoning that brings out the what God flavors like we said.

  245. For those that drink wine. Like if you go to a restaurant,

  246. they have pairings certain wind brings out certain flavors.

  247. And what you're eating, I left that 2007, whole nother story

  248. point because I had to say that because y'all don't understand

  249. the stuff because it just because I'm talking about wine.

  250. People think I drink wine and then, I don't want to affiliate

  251. myself with Bibles and beers and that's in the church to and

  252. smoking. And you know I'm saying, now

  253. weed is legal. That's the part of Bible study

  254. to that's in the church big time.

  255. Okay. But we're called to bring people

  256. to a fullness of Deliverance so I can't delete help deliver you

  257. from something. I'm still partaking in even if

  258. it's just a shot, right? So I need that testimony to help

  259. you come out. Okay, let me tell you why you

  260. are here, you're here to be salt, seasoning.

  261. That brings out the god. Flavors of the Earth, right?

  262. I love coffee back. There we have pour overs.

  263. You, if you really go to a bougie coffee company, they will

  264. they or Cafe? They will tell you do not.

  265. You don't need cream which you'll pour over, right?

  266. Yuri rookie putting in cream white because the pore over is

  267. meant to bring all the tones out the flavors out really good

  268. coffee. You don't need nothing.

  269. You just enjoy right? I hate a City Coffee.

  270. Some people don't even know what kind of coffee, they don't.

  271. Like, I like light roast. A lot of times some places the

  272. lighter the roast, the more caffeinated it is you think dark

  273. roast is more caffeinated. Know it's stronger in flavor.

  274. But a lighter roast is, okay. But anyway, the point is, is

  275. these things have notes and they have flavors in.

  276. They have taste in certain things, seasoning brings out

  277. flavor, right? Here's here's the point.

  278. All of our Lives should bring out the flavor in people's

  279. lives, right? You're if you're not salt in

  280. your pepper. And we know pepper.

  281. Don't really contribute too much.

  282. Right? In first thing you ask for is

  283. what? When you need some flavor.

  284. Some people don't. But I hate bland food.

  285. Some of y'all clearly like it but I don't know.

  286. Right now, I hate doing potlucks at church and people bring they

  287. Bland experience. To the church.

  288. I'm like not here and then you everybody whispering and

  289. texting. Like did you taste that mac and

  290. cheese with the broccoli in it? Like folks.

  291. I'm like, no if you don't do mac and cheese, don't do mac and

  292. cheese, don't disrespect mac and cheese like that.

  293. Right. We're called to bring the

  294. flavors out of people's lives. And here's what Jesus says, if

  295. you lose your saltiness, or if you lose your Effectiveness, if

  296. you lose your it Factor, How will people taste godliness?

  297. You've Lost Your usefulness and we'll end up in the garbage.

  298. He did say you won't, he did say, you'll end up in hell.

  299. He said you end up in garbage, like you won't live a fulfilled

  300. life if you're not bringing fulfillment to people, Matthew 5

  301. goes on. He said, let me put it to you

  302. this way. You're here to be light.

  303. Bring out me at one of me and wanted me and my wife's favorite

  304. songs when we first met, just bring me that live, stop it

  305. there just give me the light. Amen.

  306. Bringing out the god colors. That's what I be trying to do.

  307. I come here everybody loved his wearing all black blond Stones,

  308. right? And is, it is almost like it is

  309. not wrong place and I want a pair, but if I'm a spend to 3:00

  310. on some shoes, I'm gonna get me some some Jordans or my go get

  311. me. Some, some John Fluevog to

  312. something. Give me something different, but

  313. it's almost like what I've met here is like this, this is like

  314. dressing down and dimming your light is a sign of humility.

  315. Which is the opposite in the Kingdom.

  316. So then you'll find in this church where I've had people I

  317. have people at the basketball it again.

  318. He's on the side like man y'all Church you I'll be all shoe game

  319. be and I'm like that's fire like on the under people was just

  320. like where you get them Noel was like look at these fascinating.

  321. I just got these. I've been here about some tea.

  322. If he got the little socks you don't say it, okay?

  323. I'll see you cry with the white woman.

  324. Whoops. Okay.

  325. If I don't say nothing about your shoes that don't mean they

  326. not fresh, okay? I ain't got time to give

  327. everybody a shot out how she even started.

  328. That folks are putting their feet out like this like nah, I'm

  329. not that First-time attendee. Okay.

  330. Listen. But what the point is, is then

  331. someone comes in your life. What I found Elder Roseanne is

  332. that when Pastor Julie, and I and elders, and love quest was

  333. established. We gave permission to people to

  334. shine as a believer. Hey, hey, where are your suit?

  335. Dress up, put your makeup on. It ain't all about that but man,

  336. there's something inside of you express yourself.

  337. Right. It's like don't be coming up

  338. here. Trying to be all humble.

  339. Hallelujah. Thank you.

  340. Jesus. We're nothing but filthy rags

  341. today. Is that how you going to

  342. restaurant? Is that how you apply for a job?

  343. How you can go to an interview, more confident than you do to

  344. Before the Throne of God? Hallelujah.

  345. It's not me, brother is. That's all God.

  346. No, that's you guys are co-laborers.

  347. Give God glory but it's okay to take some credit.

  348. Like somehow God doesn't want you to feel good about your

  349. obedience. God doesn't want you to feel

  350. good about you accepting your image in him.

  351. Like, you know, how how dishonoring it is, too like

  352. this. Just like it's almost that when

  353. you do that, you like that's all him and it's like no, that's

  354. when you find him, you find me. And when you find me, Me Jesus

  355. says when you see the father you see the sun when you see the sun

  356. you see the father. So there's this like false

  357. humility that people have been raised up so then we'll look to

  358. the states and be like all those Pentecostal charismatic, why

  359. they weren't three-piece suits and why they do this and why

  360. they do that preachers with sneakers and we just attack

  361. people and is so stupid but you're blind Stones cost more

  362. than my Jordan Ones. So who's Who's the?

  363. Who's really bawling and I got mines from The Barbershop, from

  364. my homie. Right?

  365. But it's so easy to look from a distance and I'm here to tell

  366. whoever, don't you dare dim, your light, you come from under

  367. that bed and stop hiding your personality.

  368. No one's saying you got to be flashy know it.

  369. But find you and do it. Well, don't you dare dumb

  370. yourself down. Do not dumb yourself down where

  371. your fashion be weird in the goddess way.

  372. You can it be weird in? Jesus name like where your style

  373. of your mustache grow. A lot of a lot of kengo vibe

  374. like I love different laughs. I love.

  375. He said, bring the flavors out. See that's the beauty of

  376. Vancouver. We don't necessarily have an

  377. identity, so we just like we Global.

  378. But we are there's room for everybody to make it home, where

  379. a mosaic, not a Melting Pot, the challenge with a mosaic though

  380. is there There's there's there's this segregation.

  381. There's you over here, I'm blue, your red, I'm green.

  382. And we're just going to come together, but in a mosaic,

  383. there's lines and borders that keep us separated in a Melting

  384. Pot, you go to America, everybody's American.

  385. So we take what you bring to us, but you going to have to speak

  386. of the English, you going to have to have a little Swang up

  387. in here, right? You become American.

  388. So there's benefits to being a Melting Pot, but there's also

  389. Also down balls and there's benefits of being a mosaic, but

  390. there's also downfalls and that's why it's hard to have a

  391. church of all Nations because we only way to make it work is

  392. agape. The only way to make it work is

  393. is humility and so we're you both but in a place where love

  394. is the main thing. Then you bring out the god

  395. flavors and you like, let's sing that song in your language.

  396. Let's pray in your language. Don't interpret it because

  397. there's one Spirit, whatever you pray.

  398. Say in your language we go receive it.

  399. Like it was my language. Be you in Jesus name.

  400. Come on. Let's your neighbor say be you

  401. see we going to shine look at your neighbor and say We Gonna

  402. Shine today We don't shine a day and then he says, shine, keep

  403. open house, be generous with your lies, be generous with your

  404. lives. He says, by opening up the other

  405. two others. You'll prompt people to open up

  406. with God. You can't stay open and be

  407. generous if you don't stay full and overflowing.

  408. This is why we come together. This is why we come together.

  409. So I coming together is a part. And let me tell you, I know how

  410. to pray. Me and my wife know how to pray

  411. me and my kids and my wife know how to pray my Household know

  412. how to pray, we keep worship music on.

  413. We keep joy in the house, but there's something, when those

  414. eight people come into a house with 150 or 200, or 75, or 20,

  415. the faith increases, the courage, increases the

  416. familiarity cease, it's one thing for my wife to say, I'm

  417. praying for you. I receive it is one thing for Fe

  418. to say Pastor T. That was a good word, I receive

  419. it but there's a level of familiarity.

  420. And familiarity it kinds of It, kind of, It, kind of, It kind of

  421. Tanks the ability to receive the fullness of a word released.

  422. So it takes great maturity to not be too familiar with the

  423. voices, God place in your life but when you come around here,

  424. there's a joy. There's a there's there's an

  425. ecstatic - there's a undeniable presence of the father.

  426. There's love and you just get charged up and then you spill it

  427. out and you go plump or in the people darker when you come

  428. Wednesday and you get plugged back up, righty.

  429. You know it's crazy how much we just keep our phones charged.

  430. What about you do you do how you do?

  431. How your phone? Look compared to your soul.

  432. You'll do is you'll get is your battery how this battery doing,

  433. right? Do you keep do you make sure

  434. that state? Let me tell you, he didn't say

  435. Do not neglect the devotions of the day.

  436. Do not neglect the apps. All right.

  437. God didn't call us to apps. Those are supplements but apps

  438. can't sustain us streaming. Cannot sustain us.

  439. We actually Were Meant to need each other.

  440. We actually need each other. You know, I got ten toes.

  441. I need all 10 is great. You making it with eight.

  442. I need my 10. Right?

  443. I need everything that God gave me and like you need everything.

  444. I gave you on your body. You need everything I gave you

  445. for your body. Just like you need water.

  446. You need the word just like you need food.

  447. You need the word, you need the spirit of God.

  448. You need your brothers and sisters to be an encouragement.

  449. I don't care if you're depressed, just get in the

  450. house, I don't care. If you anxious just get in the

  451. house, I don't care if you pour just get in the house, I don't

  452. care what you're going through, just get here and then there's

  453. so way that God just, you know, I mean it's just like when the

  454. left foot hurt is just the Right foot finds his way under the

  455. covers to the left foot. Just massage it any.

  456. We got any feet to feed rubbers here?

  457. My man. I'll be like man, my wife and,

  458. you know, say why she is getting her feet.

  459. I'm just like, man, I just didn't grow up like that.

  460. My feet just be divided. It just be like segregation over

  461. here, a little covers. I'm like, but anybody, like, if

  462. an injury happen, if if somebody hits you or if your toothache,

  463. you you go and eat it and that's why he That's why he uses our

  464. body as an example of the body of Christ.

  465. So you come here hurting, you allow the hand to come and put a

  466. hand on you, back on your back. They don't need to know what

  467. you're going through with. That touch just did something

  468. for you. To let to know that you're not

  469. alone. You might hear a song.

  470. Might be a teenager coming here. And you're here.

  471. Teenager worship. And he like, oh my God, that's

  472. what I want to do. Do so it kills confusion about

  473. your future. There's just something when we

  474. come together, you will never be able to duplicate and to bring

  475. it on down. There is something about having

  476. a church home God's called you to that you came never duplicate

  477. at another church. So, you can be like, I don't

  478. feel like driving. I'm gonna go to this church over

  479. here. My cousin was inviting me to his

  480. closer. Okay.

  481. Go to closer, but it will never be able to produce because in

  482. this house, there is something for you.

  483. Amen, whatever you are overflowing with, you will be

  484. generous with good or bad life or death.

  485. I want to help some people out out of the abundance of the

  486. heart. The mouth does what speak and

  487. life and death is in the power of the what tongue, so we create

  488. realities with our words. But how does it get here?

  489. Here it gets here through Gates. Where's the gates ears?

  490. Eyes mouth. You guys got to remember this

  491. ears, eyes mouth? Our gates whatever comes

  492. through. These Gates.

  493. Go to our, what heart, and out of the abundance of my heart.

  494. My mouth. What speaks and out of the

  495. multitude of my words, my reality is created.

  496. It's a power worship because when we open our mouths, we

  497. shift our atmosphere, okay? So what I came in worried about

  498. all of a sudden, it doesn't mean that look worship, doesn't make

  499. the problem go away, worship brings me to a higher

  500. perspective of my problem. So now my purse, my problem is

  501. under my feet versus in my face. I stopped praying and

  502. worshipping for things to go away.

  503. Pray for strength and perspective, change.

  504. So we have to guard our heart and only way to guard our heart

  505. is to guard our gates. Because life or death, good or

  506. bad. Whatever we are overflowing

  507. with, if it's messiness, if it's anxiety of his anger.

  508. If his complaining you know what, you're, what.

  509. You're, you know, look, you know, I'm not gonna go there,

  510. you know what you're overflowing with, okay.

  511. You know, somebody say something about you.

  512. They say something crazy to you and be like, man, I didn't mean

  513. that. No, no you you kind of did.

  514. You've been wanting to say that it's just today was the day that

  515. it just had to come out. John Ford says that my food is

  516. to do, the will of him who sent me and to complete it.

  517. So Jesus says to his disciples. Listen, you might be satisfied

  518. off of your sandwich. You just got in the village but

  519. I'm fulfilled off of the Harvest that's coming this way.

  520. What fulfills me and was satisfies you as two different

  521. things. So it's kind of unfair for you

  522. to come to me and say Pastor T, I need help.

  523. It's like, won't you but you but but what you have to understand

  524. is we might not be called to do the same thing but what fulfills

  525. us we're called to the same thing.

  526. So we might not be called to work in the same careers preach

  527. on the same platforms, but for all of us, the will of God has

  528. to be our nourishment. And the will of God will always

  529. bring all of us fulfillment. Once we surrender to To it.

  530. Okay. Why would you say the Harvest is

  531. another four months away? Why would you say I'll get to it

  532. later. You talk to people a lot of

  533. times. Any like man one day I'm gonna

  534. I'm gonna really get my life together, why are you waiting

  535. till one day? One day I'm going to change

  536. that. Why are you waiting till one

  537. day? The Lord is saying the Harvest

  538. not just talking for about souls.

  539. But in this Harvest on the truck is your piece.

  540. When he says it's harvest time, it's everything that's needed

  541. for the Harvest is. Well, if God is calling me to be

  542. a laborer in the marketplace, then I have to have my peace, my

  543. wholeness, my healing. God, if you going to use me, I

  544. need strength. I need courage on me boldness.

  545. Hallelujah. He said look at all the people

  546. coming. Love quest.

  547. We know it, rather. It's 10:00 rather, it's 12:30

  548. and for sure you can see it at 5:30, there's always new people

  549. in every service. There's always people that have

  550. not came yet that you talk to that's like one day.

  551. I'm going to come. It's always people who come and

  552. say, man, I've been watching. It was Ali lady came this

  553. morning said, I've been watching for over a year and I finally

  554. came. All right, there's people out

  555. there. That God is moving on their

  556. hearts. Here's guy.

  557. In Winnipeg is like, man, I got a two-year plan.

  558. Love quest is my church home stream all the time.

  559. I gotta get some things together, some paperwork

  560. together with, for my family but I'm bringing me in my family to

  561. love quest in the next two years.

  562. Right. There was a there was a young

  563. lady. I forget who friended was she's

  564. in Calgary or something. I forget who friended was.

  565. She visited a couple weeks ago and she said, I don't, uh, I

  566. miss this. I'm bringing everybody, right?

  567. The Harvest is coming. The Harvest is here like it's

  568. time, we're in the prophetic, not everybody.

  569. Here has heard the prophetic word spoken over our house, but

  570. all the so-called bad stuff has happened.

  571. Now, we're in the good part of the prophecy, but listen, it's

  572. all good. Right?

  573. You don't have no cake without flour, but you ain't going to

  574. eat no flour by itself, right? It's so, it's all good.

  575. It was all necessary to shape us for this moment, but what are we

  576. going to make our Wilderness season count?

  577. Are you going to make the enemy pay?

  578. Are you going to come out of all that work out all that time in

  579. the word and come out to say man I ain't so I ain't made obey.

  580. God ain't moved from New West to Vancouver to bed still in

  581. Langley to come here. I didn't I didn't we didn't

  582. double the cost by faith just for us to get here and be

  583. afraid. Like, we not putting up these

  584. tents, we not doing what we doing.

  585. We're not being still and knowing he is God, we're not

  586. working on our marriage. We not working on our family,

  587. just so we can be the same. We work to be here, we fought to

  588. be here. We didn't just go through a

  589. pandemic and Thrive so we can come out of pandemic and sink.

  590. Who are you? Some of y'all got the same

  591. excitement you had before the pandemic and you two made it.

  592. Through a pandemic may God has made a loud you and preserved

  593. you to make it through a pandemic.

  594. You better turn up one time for somebody that like we had a

  595. rodeo. God is good.

  596. Now, I want to find a prey raise that cost you something, you

  597. know I'm saying? I'm a mess with you forever.

  598. Say their hearts are ready. Their hearts are ready.

  599. They're ready for the picking we're not held back by what we

  600. don't have, but we are all held back by what we don't use.

  601. No, this is not a half problem. This is a huge problem.

  602. You keep on God bless me with and he like well, use that

  603. first. Use that first floor.

  604. Give me more. This he said, use that little

  605. bit of bone issue. God.

  606. Boldness grows because she's so it.

  607. Acts 1:8 says, I'm the Holy Ghost come up on you and and

    Acts 1:8

  608. it's only for one reason, be my Witnesses.

  609. Be my Witnesses. Well, if you're not going to be

  610. a witness, you don't need power. If you're not going to be a

  611. witness, you don't need miracles signs and wonders following you,

  612. okay? If you want to be a pepper

  613. Christian, just wait till you die or when Jesus.

  614. Come back. Whichever one comes first and

  615. then just gone. But if you want the power of God

  616. on your life, then you won't have to go pee.

  617. Holy Spirit has one mission for us and that's to empower us to

  618. lead the captives to the freedom, and to Dominion.

  619. Jesus set the cap. You got to remember this.

  620. Jesus has set the captives free, but we have been ordained to

  621. lead. The captives to Freedom.

  622. We shall somebody showed me the way Jesus Took the shackles off.

  623. But somebody have to disciple me to Freedom.

  624. Acts 12. What we see here is Peter and is

  625. imprisoned, the brother is sound asleep.

  626. He got two chains on and he has two soldiers on either side of

  627. him to make sure. So in other words, he is in Max

  628. security. It says, when all at once an

  629. angel of the Lord appeared, okay?

  630. An angel of the Lord appeared we read last week in the scriptures

  631. that God did not put the angels in charge to govern on Earth.

  632. He put us in charge to govern on Earth, you the Ecclesia, the

  633. ekklesia, you you govern, you bind and you loose.

  634. But what we see here is we see an angel Kassim demonstration of

  635. our job. He goes in brother sleep.

  636. He be to he got he in some bondage and it says that the

  637. angel comes and brings the light, just give me the light.

  638. Right. Wherever you go, you should

  639. bring the light, let me help people from different religions

  640. but light is a person not in essence.

  641. It's not just a little Beam on the inside.

  642. It's a person in the beginning was the word and the Word was

  643. with God. The Word was God, and that word,

  644. that light went in the darkness and darkness could not stop it.

  645. That person lives in you. And I and when he says, let your

  646. light shine, he said, take the shackles off of Jesus.

  647. Within yourself Jesus is in you, he purchased you so that he can

  648. live through you not just in you let him out.

  649. So, the angel said, hey, Peter wake up, buddy.

  650. Hurry up. Let's go instantly.

  651. The chains fell off his wrist, white, how instantly, because

  652. the Harvest is ready, the Harvest is ready.

  653. And the angel told him, get dressed.

  654. I'm not him. I'm gonna move forward.

  655. You got to go listen to Spotify this week and get the Revelation

  656. from the rest of this. I'm going to get in some new

  657. stuff, okay? So when it loosens the grips of

  658. hell off of City, So winning so winners.

  659. We so winning. Loosens the grid, every person

  660. you set free That's less power. Hell has on a city.

  661. You want Jesus to hurry up and come back and start Soul.

  662. Winning. So winners cover, not condemned,

  663. man. If you, you know, I can't wait

  664. to tell my friends. So I was doing this right?

  665. I was doing this. I was, I was wondering like, you

  666. know, we're flooded with content, right?

  667. So you'll get preachers, who preach?

  668. They got so much word in them. How can I say this?

  669. Everybody has their own unique call, and, and and called to

  670. their own. Context and culture and all

  671. that, right? So I look at people back in the

  672. States manage some powerful speakers, right?

  673. But when you watch them live, they'll it's a perfect 30

  674. minutes, 35, maybe Max, boom. So when they upload, they sermon

  675. on YouTube is from start to finish message. 35 minutes,

  676. boom. Because that's people attention

  677. span within. There's something in me.

  678. I don't want to make, I don't want to preach content sermons.

  679. I don't want to preach in a way so I can make sure I have

  680. content. So you know anybody watch.

  681. Like there's there's a style go there could be over here could

  682. be over here. I could be like hey and I'll

  683. give you a lot of scripture in the Lord's just like, we have

  684. the unique opportunity to preach to a context and demographic.

  685. Many preachers that look like me don't have How do you preach?

  686. So if I preach 30 minutes by Caprice 30, I could preach five.

  687. I could preach 15. I do it.

  688. I've done it but I'll pop that message.

  689. Kind of will only stick to mature listeners, but when you

  690. take the time, you gotta crack a joke here because I see grumpy

  691. face over here. So I need to work on them

  692. because I want to make sure they get it to right.

  693. I'm talking to the like last Sunday we identified.

  694. This is Single section. Like a lot of younger people

  695. there in here. High school kids, right?

  696. We had a parent came today because they said, their kid

  697. came home crying from the chapel, we did, they have to

  698. come check it out, right? So you got people from, you

  699. know, Pakistan. You got people from different

  700. parts of America, you got Russians, and you got people

  701. from all different walks of life.

  702. You got Christians who never been really got the word just it

  703. Church. You got always demographics, go.

  704. Going on, right? You got the Muslim in here, you

  705. got the Buddhist in here. You got the prostitute in here,

  706. you got the pimp in here. You got the drug dealer in here,

  707. you got the and then we just have worship how we have

  708. worship. How do you rush that?

  709. Right. So winners that we cover people,

  710. we see people, we feel people, we hear people, and God is also

  711. looking for a church because if he's going to send all religions

  712. and if he goes say he's going to send.

  713. If he goes in all religions and All Nations to a place, then it

  714. takes time to reach all but when you look at people on the stakes

  715. were talk menu, talking back going to place back home and I'm

  716. talking everybody look like me and you We do the same.

  717. You say you say, Steph Curry, everybody know.

  718. Steph Curry you say? They'll tenth man on the bench.

  719. Everybody know who it is, right? You say, R&B singer.

  720. Everybody know where you say a joke.

  721. Everybody laughing because we came from the same cloth, but

  722. here I got all kind of stuff going through my mind.

  723. Like I'll be going crazy up here because I'm like, what you like

  724. who's in here. And then if I say something I'm

  725. like oh that didn't stick. So let me get cuz I'm fishing.

  726. Amen. Well, God is about to do on this

  727. block. This city has never seen before.

  728. You see first Peter he tells us that love covers a multitude of

  729. sins love covers a multitude of sins.

  730. Romans 2 says that we should not take the grace of God and the

  731. love of God and the kindness of God for granted because his

  732. kindness should lead us to repentance his kindness should

  733. lead us to repentance, not taking advantage.

  734. He says he says do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make

  735. you take him for granted and despise him.

  736. Look, this is very key. Haven't you experienced?

  737. How kind and understanding he has been to you.

  738. Don't mistake God's tolerance for his acceptance.

  739. Don't think because you're not experiencing the fruit of your

  740. wildness, it means god, accepts it, I don't ever want my wife,

  741. my kids, my friends, the church leaders being tolerated.

  742. Don't feel good. I don't just want God's grace on

  743. my life and he's just like tolerating.

  744. But there's somewhere, he's trying to get me to but I'm just

  745. stubborn, right? So when his draw the lines in

  746. the sand, so winners, draw the lines in the sand.

  747. Here's what love quest did. Literally once we get that

  748. building next door, I'm just talking crazy right now.

  749. But whatever once we get that building next door, we would

  750. have a line. In this, we will We every end we

  751. got we gonna get four big condo plexus right here with a little

  752. mall and grocery store right there.

  753. That bank is going to be moved and be another condo on the

  754. other side. You got a little Plaza right

  755. there with low bar and a little everybody just acting you don't

  756. saying they just doing everything over here.

  757. You got BC Lions over there but that whole property back there.

  758. It's on the table right now. It's gonna if it's approved.

  759. But more than likely It will be, it's going to be an arena over

  760. there because there's either like BC place or what's the

  761. other one, um, Rogers Arena. But there's nothing like in the

  762. middle. Something a little smaller,

  763. 10,000 12,000 people, everything else is Big.

  764. It's gonna be a concert place and all that.

  765. And then you're gonna have condos all over there.

  766. And I'm sure these little places don't get bought out, and we

  767. going to be right here in the middle.

  768. And right around us, we will have over 20,000 residents.

  769. So we got to be loud. Because don't come to church

  770. people come in from the condos and it's overflowing no season

  771. because, hey, justjust sit on your balcony, we don't roll up.

  772. The bay doors, you'll hear us You gotta understand where God

  773. is strategically placed us. He's put us in a place where

  774. people have been overlooked written off and we've come to

  775. draw a line in the sand and say Satan enough is enough, right?

  776. Enough is enough. So, John 8, we see that.

  777. Then in the middle of his teaching, the religious scholars

  778. in the middle of this brother teaching in the religious folks

  779. come and broke through the crowd and brought a woman who had been

  780. caught. In the act of committing

  781. adultery and made her stand in the middle of everyone.

  782. That wants, you understand? This wasn't she was called

  783. afterwards. Now this what the Bible say, she

  784. wouldn't call after she wasn't caught before, she was called

  785. during they snatched her during like what?

  786. Like, I don't like watching First 48.

  787. I'll tell y'all that all the time and sometimes when they

  788. roll up on you, whatever you got on, you going, To the police

  789. station in that pose, we like brother.

  790. Can I get my shoes and get in the car?

  791. so I'm sure they was ready to persecute this woman, but more

  792. than persecute her exposed, Jesus, Snatched her up.

  793. How humiliating bring her in the middle of the audience that

  794. Jesus has and puts her smack in the middle?

  795. And it says, teacher, we caught this woman in the very Act of

  796. adultery. Does it Moses law command us to

  797. Stone to death of a woman like this?

  798. These are like, people. That's like my Theology and

  799. where you get your Doctrine from his, his like, wait, what does

  800. the word say that? And what, how do you get that

  801. brought in the Bible? And, you know, these religious

  802. cult. Why are you guys Guys doing that

  803. in your church. Isn't that this and isn't that

  804. that they're coming to question, Jesus to poke holes in who he

  805. says he is? He says.

  806. They doesn't Moses in anything to tell us.

  807. Tell us what do you say we should do with her?

  808. You're like huh. Let's see what Jesus said.

  809. Do I want you to see this because God is going to do

  810. something that many people have not been willing, or maybe not

  811. have to regulate them. Let's put it this way, maybe not

  812. call to do. No one's wrong.

  813. Everybody's called, We're called to do a.

  814. We're call to do. Okay.

  815. So this put it on us. But people will question.

  816. What do you have all those? Right?

  817. You gay people coming in huh? How y'all just You just don't

  818. how can a gay person. Uh, sure.

  819. Can they can are kanae and I did a teaching on, was the title Can

  820. you be gay and saved? It's on YouTube.

  821. I'm gonna teach on animal. I'ma bring it back again.

  822. All right, because the church has done a poor job at

  823. representing God's heart. There's no compromise.

  824. You can love without compromise, right?

  825. That's religion. But there's a place for all

  826. nations. There's a there's a way to do

  827. things without hurting people and compromising the gospel.

  828. And when you really have the love of God perfect love, casts

  829. out all fear when you really have the love of God and

  830. understand God's heart, The Father's Heart man, a lot of

  831. stuff we've been putting on God, he's like how dare you tell

  832. people? I represent me like like that.

  833. All right, there only test in Jesus because they hoped to trap

  834. him with his own words and accuse him of being Breaking the

  835. laws of Moses but Jesus didn't answer them.

  836. I love Jesus right here. Here's something for you guys.

  837. Moving forward. It's harvest time.

  838. You don't have to answer people, okay?

  839. I don't know who I'm talking to but some people you have to stop

  840. giving that they did. They don't really want an

  841. answer. They're trying to prove a case

  842. in the more you're trying to explain The people you're

  843. burning yourself out. Okay, look, but Jesus didn't

  844. answer them. Instead, he simply bent down and

  845. wrote in the dust with his finger.

  846. Look at this. Look at this angry.

  847. Of course, they was angry. They kept it.

  848. You got to understand how silence is a weapon, not

  849. ignoring people. There's a difference between me

  850. ignoring you and me not answering stupidity.

  851. So, don't let people manipulate you.

  852. Why are you ignoring me? I'm not ignoring you, I just

  853. don't have an answer for you. They kept insisting that he

  854. answer their question so Jesus stood up and looked.

  855. So here's another reason to be quiet to get the right response.

  856. Not the emotional response. So he's getting a word.

  857. That will cause results not his religious answer, but he's

  858. getting some Remo right now. I love these Jesus answers

  859. because it's like, dang, how you going?

  860. I try to give a few of them sometime and it works the same

  861. way. It leaves people puzzled because

  862. they like wait a minute. I don't like your answer but you

  863. not wrong. Let's have the man who has never

  864. had a sinful desire, throw the first stone at her.

  865. So they try to get the perfect man.

  866. The Savior, the sand, Then he bent over again and wrote some

  867. more words. I love it in the what?

  868. Come on in the what in the what what do you think those stones

  869. were made? Moses law was made on what was

  870. it written on tablets and what do you think those tablets were

  871. created out of? I Think Jesus right here was

  872. presenting a new law. Yeah, it is.

  873. They came bringing tablets to Jesus.

  874. Right. Hello.

  875. On the tablet of your heart. Okay.

  876. All right. It's good.

  877. It's good. So so he bends down in the sand.

  878. And he's illustrating a new law and you find that new law in

  879. Matthew 22. Because they asked him again

  880. later. Love the Lord, your God with all

  881. your heart, all your soul, all your mind.

  882. And the second is like it. Love your neighbor as you love,

  883. right? He bends down because I love how

  884. he left it open. Many scholars, many people, his

  885. my own little Revelation. Okay, he's writing a new law and

  886. he's standing in the Gap. He's drawing a line, he's not

  887. condemning with them. Upon hearing that that her

  888. accusers. Slowly left the crowd one at a

  889. time beginning with the oldest to the youngest with the

  890. convicted conscience. I want you to see this love can

  891. VIXX it doesn't condemn because conviction draws, you closer to

  892. Jesus condemnation, pushes you away from Jesus.

  893. You want to know the difference when you are if you want to know

  894. how if you're a conqueror being condemned or convicted, or if

  895. you're being offended is because it's drawn you away from the

  896. body conviction always draws you to Jesus.

  897. How do I I know that because the word told me.

  898. So it look at he says, until finally, Jesus was left alone

  899. with the woman still standing there in front of him.

  900. Let me help. All you at the end of the day,

  901. when all else fails, you'll be standing right there with Jesus.

  902. So he stood back up and said to her, dear woman, where are your

  903. accusers? So do it.

  904. Now, I want you guys when you're taking authority, over your

  905. anxiousness and all of that, I want you to see Jesus.

  906. This is a picture Jesus, didn't worry.

  907. One bit, he had all these religious people who wanted him

  908. to prove himself, and he just bent down.

  909. Hey guys. if any of you have never sinned, please throw the

  910. stone And one by one, they dropped their Stones walk away

  911. and he stands up and he's looking at the woman-101, I look

  912. started with me. It's going to end with me.

  913. Want you to see what he told her looking around.

  914. She replied I see no one Lord. Jesus said then I certainly

  915. don't condemn you either. What he's telling you is

  916. religion, always condemns. He said I will never condemn you

  917. as the song says Malia was saying earlier.

  918. Now we vote to end, turn it off. We about to end.

  919. Okay, what do you we can do unlimited heat, we can even get

  920. the ladder and people can sit up there if they want to, we can

  921. get that after that, okay? Look so Hey, listen to me.

  922. What was I saying? Yeah, the song, the song.

  923. Never lost. No, but she was.

  924. She referred to the song you were singing?

  925. Who you say? I am, like, no, there was some,

  926. but whatever. Is it was, it was good.

  927. It was his about Jesus, it was about Jesus.

  928. No, no. It's okay.

  929. But but the point here is he saying?

  930. The religion will always condemn, you religious

  931. Christians, religious churches will always condemn you.

  932. And here's the thing with some religions that I get, your

  933. religion is good, but anytime your religion begins to box

  934. people out and say you can't be friends with them.

  935. You can't marry that kind of person like with Jesus, even if

  936. you marry someone outside of your culture or your religion,

  937. if you bring him into it, he could still work with it.

  938. Me and my wife met in a club man.

  939. Yes. She gave her life to Christ.

  940. But just because she gave her life to Christ.

  941. Don't mean she was living a christ-like life.

  942. We were still in ways. Unequally yoked God can turn

  943. anything around. I love this.

  944. He says go and be free from a life of sin.

  945. It is possible for us to be free.

  946. He didn't say go in there. Verse in one translation does

  947. but this is more interpretive of it.

  948. He didn't say go and don't ever don't ever mess up.

  949. He said be free from the wages of sin.

  950. So if you mess up, I'm here just get back up.

  951. Sin. No longer has the power to keep

  952. you away from God unless you let it The grace of God has blazed a

  953. path of Deliverance, leading to a life of Salvation that

  954. establishes in a life of power. Hold this and Justice, the grace

  955. of God has blazed a path of Deliverance leading to a life of

  956. Salvation that establishes us in a life of power, Holiness and

  957. justice. Close here.

  958. Because what I saw Jesus do with the woman, I also see it done on

  959. a grander. I can't even say a grander

  960. scale, but I want you to see this picture of drawn A Line in

  961. the Sand. That illustrates the massiveness

  962. of what Jesus did for that woman.

  963. When the king of Egypt was told that the people were gone he and

  964. his servants changed their minds.

  965. They said, what have we done? Letting Israel are slave.

  966. Labor, go free. See, this is when you wrapped up

  967. in this and this is how the devil looks at us.

  968. We his say, we laboring for him, so he had his chariots,

  969. harnessed up and got his army together.

  970. He took 600 of his best chariots with the rest of the Egyptian

  971. chariots and their drivers coming along.

  972. God made pharaoh who made Pharaoh king of Egypt, stubborn

  973. You get this. I need y'all to get this.

  974. I need y'all to get this and some time to stuff.

  975. Your blame it on the devil, guys.

  976. Why are you so stubborn? I truly believe to this day,

  977. there was things that I was praying and wishing.

  978. My wife would do and be and I swear the Holy Ghost told me one

  979. day, he was just like, no, you do your job.

  980. I've allowed the stubborn to mold the love. and it's when you

  981. start meeting people to change, so you can be you When you

  982. really Break Free. But stop blaming the devil.

  983. There's some things that God allows to Stubborn up on you

  984. because he's trying to get something through David.

  985. Need it Saul because there was some Saul and David So you got

  986. people that make it, oh my God. I wow.

  987. Oh my God, then people in your life some of those people are

  988. divinely placed in your life. Because there's that, I'll use

  989. it this way. Do you think everybody that we

  990. lead is our homies? My everybody came here package

  991. to just be people. We just need it to be.

  992. No. But there's challenges and then

  993. let alone you got all nations sitting at the leadership table.

  994. You got folks saying yes faster, we heard it.

  995. And Sunday, come and All Nations.

  996. Heard something all different. So you get them extra phone

  997. calls, and it takes year after year communicating same vision

  998. over and over again. Not replacing people, but

  999. building people. Now, if you refusing to be

  1000. built, then you have accepted to be replaced.

  1001. But you replace yourself. Close here.

  1002. He said, he gave the Egyptians gave.

  1003. Chase and caught up my have to deal with this tonight but gave

  1004. Chase and caught up. As Pharaoh approached the

  1005. Israelites I want. You see, they were free.

  1006. This is why Soul winning and discipleship is so important

  1007. because we can't leave people at accepting Jesus because there is

  1008. a time where the enemy is going to make a run back for him and

  1009. catch up to him. How many times have your past

  1010. caught up to you? How many times that old Shelf

  1011. caught up to you? Yeah, you got, you got a head

  1012. when you got free, you got a head start.

  1013. But that thing's coming right back to you, Bible says, seven

  1014. times stronger. This is why we got to disciple

  1015. people. So when it show up They find the

  1016. house not vacant but they find it filled and they find it

  1017. equipped and people can stand the seven times stronger, you

  1018. just saw because you got saved know life is just great now.

  1019. Yeah it's great because you know how to fight.

  1020. Now not because you go to church now.

  1021. So he says there was coming at me says Now these people are

  1022. weren't the cemeteries large enough, I'm gonna pick up here

  1023. tonight but now they start and I want to go back to the past

  1024. because they're saying going backwards, where we were was

  1025. better being slaves, then they have to go forward.

  1026. Now, the Drawing the Line in the Sand Moses.

  1027. Stuck is Rod out and guess what happened?

  1028. Another Drawing, the Line in the Sand, the Red Sea.

  1029. And the same thing that Jesus did for that woman is the same

  1030. thing. Moses did.

  1031. The same thing, God did for the children of Israel.

  1032. God's always been drawing a Line in the Sand.

  1033. God's always been making a way to the promise, and this is what

  1034. we do as New Testament, believers.

  1035. We stand in the gap for people and we draw lines in the sand

  1036. and we defend the faith and we defend the feeble and we defend

  1037. our own mindsets. We have to draw the line in the

  1038. sand in our thought life. So when thoughts come up today

  1039. not tomorrow today guess what? Draw a line in the sand in the

  1040. sand and say enough is enough. I'm not that I am strong.

  1041. I'm not gonna give up. I'm not gonna relapse.

  1042. Laughs whatever it is. My family won't divide.

  1043. I won't be poor. I won't be poverty-stricken.

  1044. I'm not dumb. I am more than enough because

  1045. he's more than enough. I can make it.

  1046. I am strong anxiety, get under my feet.

  1047. Just keep Drawing the Line in the Sand.

  1048. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you that we do not get

  1049. weary from Drawing the Line in the Sand that we become bold and

  1050. we take back what has been stolen?

  1051. Lord, we thank you that our courage Rises up our bonus Rises

  1052. up. That we do know who we are

  1053. worship team. You can come up that we do know

  1054. who we are. We do know who we are.

  1055. Come on. Say I'm chosen.

  1056. I know who I am. I'm a Child of God.

  1057. Go. There's a place for me.

  1058. I am strong. The enemy is under my clone

  1059. enemies under my feet. I am not intimidated.

  1060. I am not a coward. Okay, we're gonna say this

  1061. again, Troy. Troy was talking real long and

  1062. I'm not a coward. Malia was talking about to come

  1063. on. Y'all don't need no microphones.

  1064. Come on, chose it. But you gotta say it with all.

  1065. You gotta say that thing. So, we also pretty, I'll just

  1066. pretty with this thing, right? Have you anybody ever yelled at

  1067. somebody? Okay, some of y'all lying in

  1068. church. I just we just come on when you,

  1069. when you, when that thing start rising up in you and you release

  1070. that Yale you ever yell at somebody and say, something

  1071. crazy and you just kind of startled.

  1072. You like All right. Some people start shaking like,

  1073. but how did you start shaking by raising your voice, right?

  1074. You release something. There was, there was some.

  1075. So sometimes when you say, when you say things, you need some

  1076. fervor, you need some, you need some on, you need to reposition

  1077. yourself so that you can send that signal to, to the depths of

  1078. your soul, right? It's like setting, something is

  1079. like these concrete slab stairs, holding these tents down.

  1080. If you go look, there's these nails about Big around, but

  1081. they're about that long. And every last one on this

  1082. little, man was just bow. There's those nails that long

  1083. that's in the concrete. Right?

  1084. And you gotta, you gotta, you gotta Hammer this word in these

  1085. affirmations, you got a hammer in your soul, and it's not for

  1086. you to just walk around and every day and be like, man, I'm

  1087. bold, I'm courageous. But when you've buried it, deep

  1088. enough, when you need that affirmation, you don't need it

  1089. from others. But what you've buried in your

  1090. soul, will rise up right here. Here's the word about it.

  1091. He says that the word of God is the sword of the Holy Spirit,

  1092. which simply means that I need to put the word inside of me.

  1093. So when things come the enemy takes that same word and brings

  1094. it to remembrance, and he Wars for me.

  1095. And he Wars with me. So calm.

  1096. I'm strong, I'm Mighty, I am somebody.

  1097. I'm fast. I'm quick, I'm courageous.

  1098. I am long-lasting. I am long-suffering.

  1099. I am patient. I am kind.

  1100. I am an overcomer. I'm not a worrier.

  1101. I'm a celebrator. I got mixed faith.

  1102. Strong faith! I have an imagination!

  1103. I have creativity and perseverance.

  1104. In Jesus name, I'm a son of God. I'm a daughter of the most high.

  1105. I am wealthy in my soul. I am prosperous in my mind.

  1106. I will make it, make it make, it made it more than a conqueror.

  1107. God is pleased with me. In Jesus name in Jesus name now,

  1108. Shadow Valley one time, That's where y'all want to come in.

  1109. Bring it down, bring it out too late.

  1110. Amen. Hallelujah.

  1111. They missed it. Giving neighbor high five and

  1112. say, they missed it. Missed it, missed it, missed it.

  1113. That's what I was yellow. That's what I was doing.

  1114. All that yelling ball now, then, LOL.

  1115. In the name of Jesus, we thank you at the worship team, won't

  1116. miss it, no more, or we thank you.

  1117. That we are courageous and we are strong and we are bald.

  1118. We do have patience. We're not a hot mess, we're not.

  1119. How come? I feel like somebody has to tell

  1120. they self that today, because you think you'll have Miss.

  1121. Come on, tell you. I'm not a hot mess.

  1122. Oh dang, that many people. Amen.

  1123. I just want to remind you guys that there's a foundational

  1124. track and building blocks coming up.

  1125. November 26, for those that want to mean, I get it.

  1126. You can make love question church family, but if you ever

  1127. plan to serve one day, and you want to know a little bit more

  1128. about love quest, you want to Just kind of be rooted in that

  1129. way by understanding, what your part of November 26, is our last

  1130. one in of the year. And so that's a 10 a.m. as well

  1131. as December 11th. This is a big day for us

  1132. especially at the stage where in there's a lot of people, man, if

  1133. you think about where we were even at best, there is so many

  1134. more people at our church than even in that switch.

  1135. So it's a lot of people who did not partake In the rim that

  1136. project. But um I will I will be very

  1137. transparent with you guys. You know, I had no we don't have

  1138. any, like example, we reached out to our pastor friends, we

  1139. got wisdom, we talk to our Architects, all that stuff, and

  1140. we came up with the best and guesstimated above what we were

  1141. raising for next door. Anybody know the We next door

  1142. was all we was after and then the Lord said my eyes on these

  1143. two spaces just for parking and then come to find out the people

  1144. wanted us to have this. And I'm like, also all

  1145. faithfully. And I will tell you that we are,

  1146. we went from being in Strathcona and back to Vancouver, roughly

  1147. around 10, thousand dollars a month.

  1148. Mind you, we started with 11 people. people, you know, mind

  1149. you I'm a grant and we didn't Come here not one Church of

  1150. until I don't know eight months ago, partner with us, we don't

  1151. have relationships like that. Yet.

  1152. We have to prove ourselves but Mom I would say 99% of our

  1153. giving came from people that go to this church, that believe the

  1154. word of God, which is how we want to build, but then we went

  1155. from 10 to you. Can imagine here in Surrey how

  1156. much 3 buildings would cause Yes.

  1157. And I'm telling you do to the victory seed and due to the

  1158. first fruits eat in February. And then consistent giving, we

  1159. have not have to Flinch one bit to continue to work here as well

  1160. as meet that 20 plus thousand dollars a month.

  1161. We're here long term. Only thing that's gonna move us

  1162. out of here is growth and even then, we don't know what God is

  1163. going to do. We'll cross that road but the

  1164. victory seed, all I have to say is a lot of the money that came

  1165. in at first that we took in four.

  1166. Next door has been what has allowed us to renovate both of

  1167. these buildings. Right?

  1168. So now that we're approaching this building, we still have in

  1169. mind you what we were going after before we were still 200

  1170. Grand under, but But that wasn't a sign of a lack of generosity.

  1171. Like we gave, right? But again, the amount of people

  1172. we had, in our church versus how many we have now relationships

  1173. in the city and I get it, God is going to build this thing.

  1174. So as we approach building this and then we're going to have to

  1175. come in here, make this our youth center, and what it's

  1176. going to take to make that it finished at our studio looks

  1177. absolutely phenomenal. Next door is really, really dope

  1178. and we're nowhere near This. That anyways, so December 11th.

  1179. We will have our in the year giving, which we always do.

  1180. That is no specific. See, we're asking for, which is

  1181. asking for generosity. We've had people come and bring

  1182. 10,000 25,000, $510, that's up to you, and what God wants to

  1183. get through you, here's what I do.

  1184. Want to remind, you don't look at what you have asked, God what

  1185. he wants. You to give, okay, there's

  1186. people who can testify, they didn't have nothing to give but

  1187. they wanted to give and the Lord came through and they were able

  1188. to give really big. It's in February where we have a

  1189. specific scene that we ask for from everyone.

  1190. So December 11th will be a phenomenal day because we will

  1191. be doing something that Jesus talked about, in the Bible, more

  1192. than he talked about heaven and or Hell, giving is a part of

  1193. This Kingdom and Kingdom, economics.

  1194. The world. We buy and sell the kingdom of

  1195. God we sow and reap. Okay?

  1196. And so promotion in the kingdom, comes by sowing and reaping.

  1197. Not by buying and selling, there's things that God can and

  1198. will bring every last one of us. And if I was to unleash some

  1199. stories and hear what God has done in this year, through some

  1200. faithful soldiers, I'm talking about stuff that will absolutely

  1201. blow your mind and I'm going to talk to them and see if they're

  1202. willing to tell those testimonies with, Some

  1203. testimonies you don't want to tell because they're people be

  1204. all in your business and be thinking they can ask you for

  1205. stuff, right? We don't want to make, we don't

  1206. want to expose people so they can be bombarded by manipulation

  1207. and so we'll see. But December 11th, please bring

  1208. and prepare your seat. It would be a great time of

  1209. worship, okay? And we have our Christmas

  1210. Productions, December, 17th, and December 18th marketing, your

  1211. calendar. Working hard, make sure you

  1212. bring your family and then we are having service on Christmas.

  1213. Why? Because Christmas falls on a

  1214. Sunday and nothing changes. We will not have all three

  1215. services. We will have a stripped-down

  1216. timeframe but there are people will come.

  1217. And and I mean I thought that's what Christmas is all about what

  1218. they meant and then Saturday we will have a Christmas Eve

  1219. service for people. That would like man I'm gonna go

  1220. on Christmas Eve and instead instead of Sunday so we'll have

  1221. a Saturday Six pm option and then we'll have a Sunday 12:00

  1222. p.m. option I believe and a six pm option because some people do

  1223. they morning things. Some people do they eat

  1224. anything. We want to give people an

  1225. opportunity. And then lastly, we will have a

  1226. New Year's Eve celebration. We dress up.

  1227. We have live performance, we have fresh Word, Worship,

  1228. mocktails, food, all that cool stuff.

  1229. New Year's Eve will be here with bring in the New Year together

  1230. in our own building. Absolutely.

  1231. And then we will be here the following day.

  1232. Only at 5:30 though because we know we're not going to leave

  1233. here at 1:00 a.m. and then come right back.

  1234. So with 5:30, but on the first day of the year, we will be

  1235. doing baptisms. So if you know, somebody I want

  1236. to be baptized what a day to be baptized, you know, about Wonder

  1237. Wednesdays, what a great victory that are hoop team have Friday

  1238. night. And I just want to remind you

  1239. listen. It's playoff time okay?

  1240. For those that don't know what the playoffs is if we lose we go

  1241. home and that ain't happening. If a knows that was there

  1242. Friday, we played a team that we played again so it's a rematch

  1243. and we play at 750 so we need everybody, especially that has

  1244. never been to a game to come out if we lose, we go home.

  1245. But we need three games to win a championship.

  1246. Shh, we need to to get there, but if you lose Friday, guess

  1247. what we going to be watching somebody else play.

  1248. If we win Friday, we will get a opportunity because I'm assuming

  1249. that Emerson and they team is going to win.

  1250. No, cuz they playing Friday. And and the crazy part about it

  1251. is like I wanted to wait because that's a championship game but

  1252. come to find out because of the way they say.

  1253. It up G to win on Friday and if we went on Friday we get to have

  1254. some good brotherly love war. All right, it's gonna be good.

  1255. It's gonna be good. And so just how come and help us

  1256. win? And I'm not sure when they play,

  1257. but if they play before us, let's get there.

  1258. A little early and cheer for em a Emerson.

  1259. And the team, he's on, he's a part of this church is part of

  1260. family, and if they play after us, will stick around a little

  1261. bit and support them as well, but it's Fun is really fun.

  1262. All right, so way we reach the community as well.

  1263. I think that's it. Is that it?

  1264. That it that it closes up, huh? No.

  1265. We already said that our clothes our already.

  1266. But Lord. We just thank you.

  1267. We thank you that you're here. We thank you that your presence

  1268. is with us. We thank you that you love us.

  1269. And that, yeah, God, that everything that we need is here.
