  2. Thank you for tuning into the Love quest podcast.

  3. Get your Bibles ready? Get your notebook, get your

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

  5. receive the time. Is right now.

  6. Let's go. But when he told Christ, I am

  7. pleased with you, the day that I received Jesus that were

  8. transferred to me. In the difference between you

  9. walking in Victory or not is you putting on Christ and you

  10. putting on his sonship and then your feelings will catch up

  11. later depending on how much mummy wrap you got on you.

  12. But I know, and this is why it's important for us to confess and

  13. sing and react and give our limbs to the words, right?

  14. You go to a concert. You give you limbs to the words.

  15. You give your body to the words, you no matter what kind of

  16. concert it is, you start, you tell your body.

  17. What's fun? You like you going to this

  18. concert tonight? I bought tickets.

  19. You going to jump because this beat banging.

  20. When you come to church you have to do the same thing.

  21. So much to where we actually think we thugs, because we

  22. listen to thug music and give our our bodies that Doug music

  23. so much. That if we listen to a sexual

  24. song, We Begin our bodies. Begin to be turned on by the

  25. words and the vibe, and the sonics and the voice.

  26. That's being saying to us because we're giving our being

  27. to it. So with these words and with

  28. this music and it's coming out of a heart, that's anointed and

  29. gifts. I have to give my body to it and

  30. then it would become a reality to my soul but I can't give my

  31. body to the world and think I am going to experience the kingdom

  32. of God. Right?

  33. It's so I just want to let you know again whether you know it

  34. or not God is pleased with you if you just came out the crack

  35. house last night, guess what? God is pleased with you?

  36. Not because you was in the crack house or you avoided the crack

  37. house but it's because someone died for you to cover you while

  38. you was yet in the crack house. Somebody died for you while you

  39. was yet snorting coke. Why you as yet sleeping around,

  40. while you was yet getting drunk, guess what?

  41. Somebody died for you? and the the the hard part is

  42. when I live a life contrary when I live a carnal life, I don't

  43. Rob God but I rob me from experience in the god in me

  44. because you act of who don't mean, God ain't in you you can't

  45. kick God out, he purchase you You can't kick him out but you

  46. rob yourself of experience and love and peace.

  47. And when we allow the world to come in, that's just why.

  48. He says that carnality and a life of flesh is enmity, it

  49. works against why. Because the flesh that's in, you

  50. is right. Where the god that's in you.

  51. So their, warring on the inside, it ain't the devil.

  52. You're the gatekeeper of your soul guard.

  53. Your heart for out of it flows. The issues of life.

  54. It ain't the devil. The devil.

  55. Listen, that anxiety is not the devil.

  56. The devil takes advantage of yo, anxiety.

  57. Right? He takes advantage of our

  58. mindset. So if I can anxiety is King in

  59. your life, guess what? Then the devil has a throne.

  60. Your agreement gives him a throne to sit in.

  61. So you have an opportunity every single Sunday Wednesday and

  62. hopefully you grow to take whatever you get here.

  63. Take it home with you what man. God is pleased with every last

  64. one of us. That's the power of salvation.

  65. I was I'll leave it here. If you walking down the street

  66. or just say today you walked in and we had a conversation

  67. afterwards, not saying, we will. Just throwing that out there.

  68. But you walk up and you're in a dark place and I don't, I don't,

  69. I don't know you in a dark place with something's on my heart to

  70. just be like man. You are a very powerful person

  71. or God has great plans for you or whatever.

  72. The case may be hearing that out of my mouth from me, human, you

  73. were probably your spirits may be lifted, you may believe that

  74. if I tell you, that, you know, your jeans are super dope.

  75. I could really not like your jeans, but because I'm a soul

  76. winner. I might but think of how many

  77. people you believe and think how hard it is for you to believe.

  78. God you go to restaurants, you watch commercials you try

  79. deodorant. See, try perfumes.

  80. You spend so much money because you believe people.

  81. And how many products have failed you?

  82. How many times have you changed products?

  83. So how is it so easy for you to believe people who have sinned

  84. in their hearts and they will fail you, but here's a perfect

  85. God. Who loves you, he's proved his

  86. love and he's saying I'm pleased with you.

  87. You have two graphs that because there's many people, you will

  88. disappoint and you can't live off of other people's

  89. disappointment or approval of you.

  90. Amen. Say I'm chosen, not forsaken.

  91. I am. Who he says, I am tell your

  92. neighbor. You are who he says you are.

  93. So please believe it. Now, sit down.

  126. half to get to next year. Next year, won't be better

  127. unless you finish this year the way you supposed to finish it.

  128. I'll say it again. Next year is not going to be no

  129. better than this year. If you end the year with the

  130. same faith that you started the year with, right?

  131. We got to go in the next year with momentum, with growing

  132. Faith, exceeding Faith with confidence.

  133. We got to leave some some some some bondage in 2022.

  134. We gotta leave it here right? We got to leave some mindsets in

  135. 2022. We got a 2022.

  136. Has to be a place that we've walked out of Victorious.

  137. Okay. So the arising in the Rival Sons

  138. and Daughters, let me tell you why you are here.

  139. Let me tell you why you are here, you're here to be salt,

  140. seasoning. You're here to be saw seasoning

  141. life-preserving. You're here to bring flavor to

  142. the world. You're here to bring flavor to

  143. the world, not lemons, to the world, but good flavor to the

  144. world. You're here to bring the god

  145. flavors of this. Earth.

  146. You're here to bring good flavors out of people's lives,

  147. right? You ever you ever you ever?

  148. This is why I love certain foods restaurants.

  149. I really love food. It's like it's actually a thing,

  150. right? It's a thing and certain

  151. pairings. When you, when I was, when I

  152. used to drink wine, long time ago, and things of that nature,

  153. you know, there's certain wines that are paired with certain

  154. meats and sir. Certain things and they pair

  155. together. And the reason a pair together

  156. is because it's meant to bring out certain flavors.

  157. Right there, certain notes in coffee.

  158. Right? That's no wine.

  159. That's new wine. It's certain notes in coffee.

  160. There's almond notes. There's apricot knows.

  161. I hate acidic coffee it. Tears my stomach up.

  162. So I need lighter roses. Lease lease acidic, but it

  163. brings certain flavors of coffee.

  164. Go well, with certain kinds of milk.

  165. Now, those that don't care about coffee, you'll just drink

  166. whatever coffee and just drowning with a bunch of milk

  167. and sugar. But if you like coffee and you

  168. appreciate coffee, there are notes in there that some like

  169. really really, really, really good coffee.

  170. Needs nothing. Added you go to some bougie,

  171. cafes, they will get insulted. You ask for a latte?

  172. No you don't drink this straight.

  173. Right because there's notes. This is why pour overs are

  174. popular and good because it's meant to drink without cream

  175. because there are certain flavors in it right, but it's

  176. not until certain things get mixed in that.

  177. It brings out and highlights certain notes and that's the

  178. thing. About people's lives.

  179. I have become a person who love bringing out the notes in your

  180. life. Som have chocolate notes, some

  181. have caramel know, some have toffee-nosed.

  182. Some have apricot or Citrus, like there's different type of

  183. notes in people's lives and then there's bad combinations that

  184. bring our bad notes. There's certain people that come

  185. in your life, that bring out some bad stuff like if you a

  186. gossiper and gossiper come around you, that's not bringing

  187. out the god flavors. That's bringing out.

  188. He'll flavors complainers, getting around complainers,

  189. bring out, not God flavors. You know what I'm saying?

  190. Fearful conversations, fearful people getting around, fearful

  191. people, you bring out, you bring out hell, this starts hell is

  192. conversate, those aren't God flavors.

  193. And what God is saying here is, we are created called and he has

  194. joined us to bring out the flavors that he has pre put in P

  195. prepackaged and is my job, your job.

  196. You are anointed to bring out the notes and the flavors and

  197. people's lives and caused them to be.

  198. Be a very tasteful people so they can go in the world and

  199. bring out flavors in people's lives, but you got to get rid of

  200. the bitterness out of your life. You got to get rid of

  201. unforgiveness out of your life. You got to get rid of nasty

  202. perspectives because nasty perspectives, Purdue's nasty

  203. flavors and I don't want prune juice.

  204. I don't necessarily care for certain shots like, like Cayenne

  205. with this and that, but sometimes it's good for you, but

  206. don't think your bitterness is good for anybody, that's not

  207. what I'm saying. But here's the question, are you

  208. bringing the god flavors out of your children?

  209. Are you bringing the god flavors out of your spouse?

  210. Are you bringing the god flavors out of your co-workers?

  211. Or do you take what God has done in your heart?

  212. You go to work and you become gossip Central.

  213. You go on your campus and you become a complainer.

  214. Now the testifier a complainer, are you bringing out the

  215. goodness in people's life because every human being on

  216. this planet, every human being has good in them.

  217. Every human being, you know? What's so crazy will write him

  218. off to the devil, but you helped the Devil by not discipling

  219. testifying plant seeds and they life passivity and complaining

  220. and point out the bad in people is not what were called to Stiff

  221. arm and people their evil. Okay.

  222. Well where's your power to get them delivered?

  223. because which one is more of a shame, the world being the world

  224. or Christian with no power, They when you come around, things

  225. should change, right? Or at bare, minimum, a spirit

  226. that has been tormenting, a area, has to go.

  227. And if the people don't want to get free, they going to go with

  228. it, but you not going to stay around me and be comfortable.

  229. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?

  230. If you lose your arm, your flavor, you you're preserving

  231. power, your specialty write this y, Milano and Prado in these

  232. different coffee. Companies can be who they are

  233. because they're consistent Through the Ages.

  234. Right. You go to Starbucks.

  235. Are you want? You can go to some little but

  236. man, you back coffee is bad coffee.

  237. I see a bad coffee, too. Close to Starbucks.

  238. So anybody that loves Starbucks. I'm sorry.

  239. I'm not saying, Starbucks is Bad Coffee.

  240. They have some cool stuff, but what I'm saying is there's

  241. nothing like that homegrown, local coffee company, who really

  242. takes their time, they're not over quantity, they're not over

  243. saturated, but they really take their time with what they do.

  244. The bird. The quality at Santana.

  245. Milano is a little different than out of Starbucks.

  246. Just a little different that latte that oat milk is a little

  247. bit more real, right? When you see the milk come out,

  248. the fridge at Starbucks and it just got a name like this.

  249. I don't know, it just green. No, I need to see bougie oat

  250. milk and bougie. Almond milk and bullshit.

  251. You know I'm saying? I need I need to see the sign

  252. that says house. Made almond milk.

  253. Right, that's rich and that's just it just different.

  254. That's what people appreciate. Is authenticity.

  255. Let me, let me help. Some people here that like to

  256. keep it real authenticity. Doesn't necessarily mean, I'm

  257. going to keep it real and people appreciate me because they at

  258. least know what? I feel, get that, get that hell

  259. out of here. Imma keep it 100 know you will

  260. fool because because if you think cussing people out, or if

  261. you think talking about people are telling somebody I really

  262. don't like you like you think that's authentic.

  263. No that's hurt. That's pain.

  264. That's bitterness, that's ego, that's Pride which is it?

  265. You It's a version of you that was birthed out of pain.

  266. So it's not all that it's the authentic pain version of you,

  267. but it's not the authentic God version of you, right?

  268. God has called us to be the most authentic version of ourselves.

  269. So why stop at a false sense of boldness?

  270. That God's not respecting you because you can tell somebody

  271. How you feel? No God says.

  272. Shut your mouth to preserve people's life.

  273. I'm keeping it 100. No, you're not.

  274. Go. Tell your boss, how you really

  275. feel? Keep it 100 and see if you keep

  276. your job. You're not keeping it 100, cause

  277. you to lose some friends. That have caused you to get

  278. divorced. He was keeping it. 100 wisdom

  279. says you have to sift through some things.

  280. Here's another way to put it. You're here to be lights.

  281. You're here to be lying to your here to be like to be loved.

  282. Beltran. Mikono America, you have to see

  283. Coming to America. The first one, but that's okay.

  284. You're here to be like bringing out the colors.

  285. So we bring out flavors and we bring out colors.

  286. We bring out flavors and we bring out colors, right?

  287. You go into a dark room and you see pictures being developed,

  288. what happens that picture was still there within it.

  289. Became known. It came to the The surface, my

  290. job, your job is to bring people's goodness to the surface

  291. bury. The bad bury the evil bury the

  292. bitter and bring the goodness to the surface.

  293. God is not a secret to be kept. Going public with this as public

  294. as a city on a hill. We read this last week, Lord

  295. says, I'm putting you on a light stand.

  296. You notice he said whether you like it or not, I'm putting you

  297. on a light stand. Put you on light stand.

  298. I'm giving you gold teeth smile or not.

  299. When I'm putting them in your mouth.

  300. That's what I'm saying. I'm putting you on a light

  301. stand, you can shine if you want to or not, and I think that's an

  302. insult to God. When he says I'm gonna exalt

  303. you, I'm gonna promote you, I'm gonna put you before, man.

  304. I'm going to put you in special places.

  305. I am going to call you to, Wally.

  306. I'm gonna call you to where there's Darkness where people

  307. need you. I'm gonna call you to Darkness.

  308. I'm gonna call you to a problem, but put the solution in you,

  309. I'll say it again. I'm gonna call you to a problem.

  310. Look at being called to problems as privileges, right?

  311. You're not your, it's not, it's not a privilege to be a

  312. firefighter. If you don't never get called to

  313. a fire, you might as well just be an EMT.

  314. Right. But when God calls you to a

  315. problem, stop complaining. I think so.

  316. I think so sir, I think so. I really think so, he says, now

  317. that I put you up there shine, that's all we need is a shot,

  318. right? It's like it's like you put the

  319. light bulb, you change the light bulb bop, bop, bop, bop, bop,

  320. bop, bop, boom, it's on. Have you ever put a light bulb

  321. in the light? and turned it on and said, now

  322. shine, have you ever had to go back to it and be like why you

  323. not When can God just turn you on and you just stay lit?

  324. Why you keep flickering? Right?

  325. Why you keep flickering, huh? Why you keep, and sometimes you

  326. unplugged. Sometimes you you that that like

  327. that just needed a little, a little touch.

  328. But you determine which one you are some of y'all unplug.

  329. But just shine. It's in you you don't you don't

  330. necessarily have to try you be its nature.

  331. Said be opening. I love this by opening up to

  332. others. You you keep open house.

  337. Certain time tender for open house.

  338. What does that mean 10 for open house?

  339. The doors open? You just walk in, right?

  340. And you can you can come and go to tour the house, right?

  341. This is why Paul says follow me. Right?

  342. Is there any place in your life that you like?

  343. Now you can't come over there because that ain't God but he's

  344. trying to get you to a place where you can just say come on

  345. in open house and there's no, that's authentic right there

  346. were throwing through what you see.

  347. Here's what you see there. What just see.

  348. Is what you get. Amen.

  349. Amen. Amen.

  350. Keep open house. Look, be generous with your

  351. lives. Some people are generous with

  352. complaining. Right.

  353. He said be generous in July's look by opening up to others.

  354. You'll prompt people to open up with God by opening your life

  355. up. Two others.

  356. Your prompt people to open up with God.

  357. This generous Father in Heaven, you can't stay open and be

  358. generous if you don't stay full and overflowing, I'll say it

  359. again. You cannot stay open and be

  360. generous you think of money. If you just got enough money,

  361. you can't help other people. So if you just gotta just just

  362. enough, Joy, you can't share it with other people.

  363. Right. You can't share when you own

  364. your last nerve. How did you get to your last

  365. nerve? Right.

  366. How do you get to your last nerve?

  367. You cannot stay open and be generous if you don't stay full

  368. and overflowing. So this is what I got to say

  369. tapped in this is where I got to meet with you guys every Sunday

  370. and every Wednesday because I need this space.

  371. As much as you need this space, I get encouragement when I see

  372. you guys and we walked by, hey, how you doing pasty?

  373. Hey, how you doing? Andre hey, how you doing?

  374. Andrew. Hey, how you doing Andy?

  375. Hey, how you doing, Anthony? Hey, how you doing?

  376. God is good. The Lord is with you, don't

  377. worry about it, be strong in the Lord.

  378. When you walk around Faith like that, this is why I stay all day

  379. because all day for holding, you know, you stay at work all day

  380. and you, you leave tired. I leave here tired.

  381. But physically, but my soul is so full.

  382. I'm so full. I'm so full.

  383. I know you're in there. Some people you got to be

  384. careful what you do after church.

  385. I know 10:30 is 10:00 is convenient but what you doing

  386. after this you might as well just not come at 10 because what

  387. you doing after this? Just kind of cancels out because

  388. you'll spend out 90-minute your Rush, got 90 minutes.

  389. Boom gotta go and then the rest of your time is around

  390. complainers fear. You know all those things right.

  391. Some people got playing you smoke a little weed today but I

  392. wanted to church, do you know I'm saying?

  393. I'm with the tired. You feel me?

  394. Let my light shine, huh? Okay.

  395. Stay open and be generous if you don't stay full and overflowing

  396. didn't say you feel like coming all day, but ask your soul

  397. doesn't need it. You ask your flesh.

  398. What he needs is going to take you away.

  399. From what your spirit needs. You don't ever give your spirit

  400. or your flesh, the option. Now I'm telling you where to go.

  401. You took me in the club for years.

  402. Now, I'm taking you to the Altar for the rest of my life.

  403. It's a choice. Whenever you are or whatever you

  404. are overflowing with, you will be generous with Good or bad

  405. life or death, good or bad life or death, whatever you are

  406. overflowing with is why you got to be careful, what you watch,

  407. what you, what you, you know what I mean?

  408. Like some people, you just you stay in one place you made your

  410. right? Are you you do hobbies that puff

  411. you up, like whatever you are overflowing with, you will be

  412. generous with good or bad life or death.

  414. gates to your ears, your eyes, your mouth, whatever, you give

  415. your gates to your ears, your eyes, and your mouth, it will

  416. enter into your heart and out of the abundance of the heart.

  418. mouth will be generous and it will speak it and life and death

  419. is in the power to tongue so it enters the gates gets in your

  420. heart is stirs it. Up it pours it out and it

  421. creates your life. That's why you gotta Guard your

  422. heart for out of it, blows the issues of Life.

  423. Your life does not happen by accident.

  424. It comes out of your heart, but it starts by what you pay

  425. attention to, it's what you feeding yourself.

  426. John Force has to clarify. Jesus speaks, he spoke.

  427. And he said my food is to do. The will of him who sent me and

  428. bring it to completion. My will my wil that wasn't my

  429. well, before that wasn't my will before, then my will became

  430. Jesus Will And now we turn in together.

  431. Look, my food is to do the will of him who sent me and bring it

  432. to completion. Everybody in here has a work to

  433. complete. I don't know if you doing the

  434. right work, that's on you to determine but everybody was born

  435. with a work. You should not waste your time,

  436. not doing the work and not everybody's work is up here or

  437. back there, but wherever you are, you got to work.

  438. And your job is to bring it to completion as the crowds emerged

  439. from the village. Jesus said to his disciples, why

  440. would you say bro? The Harvest is another four

  441. months away. Guys, I hate the way y'all be

  442. thinking. Jesus speaking look.

  443. The people are coming. Now is the Harvest.

  444. What else do you need? The people are coming.

  445. Great, you got a sandwich. You brought me some food back

  446. but that does not fulfill me. I'm looking for fulfillment.

  447. You looking for satisfaction? What y'all getting high off of

  448. don't fulfill you and it will never fulfill me.

  449. I'm over here at the, with the woman at the well, and because I

  450. passed on a sandwich, she went into the village, and she just

  451. preach the gospel. And now, do you see the Harvest

  452. is coming? People are telling of people,

  453. people are telling other people about this Wellness River.

  459. in this service and every last one of them is like, man, I got

  460. a lot of questions, but I just feel something here.

  461. So you live with your little Christian self.

  462. You can go and be religious all you want.

  463. You can go to any church, you But God is bringing folks from

  464. other related. And when he changed the hearts

  465. of folks, from other religion, when people walk away from their

  466. cultural religion. When they walk man, they gonna

  467. be the on fire people. Let's little stale.

  468. Christians, God don't need you. No more.

  469. If you are, you want to do is coach Coast but he bout to bring

  470. some Muslims change their heart and who they wanted to be Muslim

  471. for. They gonna be for Jesus Christ.

  472. He is gonna get the boot. Is he gonna get the new Ager?

  473. He go get some people who are ready to preach the gospel.

  474. And we got our low religious Saints.

  475. We didn't let Church where our butts out, man.

  476. I don't need no church transfers.

  477. Give me some religion transfers, bring me some Muslims in here.

  478. Bring me some people who was almost ready to die for their

  479. religion. Bring me some people who grew up

  480. respecting God, bring me some people who was in the wrong

  481. Kingdom, but understood Kingdom get rid of all the religious

  482. stuff and bring me some people who are willing to really Left

  483. day life down, bring me some people from the Middle East that

  485. throw their hands up that know how to dance.

  486. Bring me some. People bring me some people and

  487. this what he's saying I don't got time for the Pharisee.

  488. I don't got time for this ad. You see I need some people who

  489. are grateful for being alive today.

  490. Some folks just hire On Church, man.

  491. I told him last week, man, bring me all the Hindus bring there's

  492. a plate. Me and you think God and this

  493. what we gonna get into later on tonight and I hope next service

  494. or tonight, man. We gonna get into this all, he's

  495. bringing them. The real guy, the Agape, there's

  496. room for every religion Under One Roof.

  497. They he going to show himself strong and then people got to

  498. make a real Choice. He can't hold them accountable

  499. sitting in the mosque, in the church and witnessing, they grew

  500. up in the mosque. What'd you expect some of y'all

  501. grew up Christian and you just Christian and you just said,

  502. hello? I'm Christian.

  503. I grew up that way. But no there was a time in 2007

  504. although I was a baby growing up in church, I have to learn to

  505. follow Jesus for myself not on my Grandmama's Faith.

  506. So there's people in the mosque next door, that's how they grew

  507. up. So you can't blame them for

  508. being obedient and honoring their honoring, their family and

  509. until we could show them proof. Why transfer, why give their

  510. hearts to Jesus? We are unhappy and they got

  511. piece. They can pray for three hours.

  512. We can't even have a prayer meeting where the whole church

  513. comes. They can pray for a month

  514. together and we complaining about one morning service.

  515. Are you kidding me? We don't got no power to no,

  516. other religion, they witness their unified, they're willing

  517. to die for their faith. We can plane in about fasting.

  518. They fast for lifestyle. What are you talking about?

  519. We are a pathetic faith. If we don't look like Jesus, If

  520. you really quick Christianity, as a religion next to other

  521. religion, we don't have no power.

  522. We are so weak and small. We're confuse.

  523. People other religions. Look at them.

  524. Oh, they willing to put down alcohol, they willing to where

  525. they turbines in public, and let you know, they willing to stop

  526. and put they match down in public at 5 p.m. and pray.

  527. We can't even bless our food. They walk his family, they

  528. willing to dance in the street and put up tents and do all

  529. kinds of stuff who are we? We supposed to have the savior

  530. of the world and we ashamed We complain about a son give God a

  531. Sunday, these fakes give God every single day.

  532. They gather they live are gathering.

  533. There are strong people. You can't expect Just go pluck

  534. people out of Buddhism and plug people out of seeking and pluck

  535. people. No, you can't do that.

  536. God ain't even trying to do that.

  537. You don't just go arrest people, know you be a display.

  538. Are you as discipline? Because religion for religion.

  539. There's religions killing us because they, there's religions

  540. that on the whole lot of colleges in and out.

  541. Restaurants, they do business real.

  542. Well, we fighting against money, we holding on the money.

  543. But you wonder how the Muslim can in the Mormon can Because we

  544. too may Jesus out of this person full of poverty.

  545. And we just would just stand these tents in this auto body

  546. shop forever because the Lord is here.

  547. But you look at these other religions.

  548. They're wealthy, but we made it look like Jesus.

  549. Don't like wealth. You kidding where the wealth

  550. come from? Yeah, religion.

  551. For religion. Feels about religion as people

  552. in prison. Hello, some brothers stand with

  553. the Muslims in prison least, where I'm from.

  554. Now, I'm in the Lord's, calling us higher and what I'm so happy

  555. for is, I'm not looking for more Christians.

  556. I believe this house it's gonna be a place for all nations

  557. literally, and it's going to be a place where the Father, the

  558. god of the universe. Ministers to the heart of his

  559. children, then they can make a religious decision, so we don't

  560. have to be equipped. We don't have to others

  561. understand other people's faith and why they believe and not

  562. bash them because they believe that, that's all they knew.

  563. Because without following Jesus, your as a religious without

  564. being a sacrifice without loving without forgiving.

  565. Guess what you are. Just as religious we live in by

  566. just head knowledge. Your gesture is religious but at

  567. least some people are willing to die for their faith.

  568. Least, some people are willing to knock on the door.

  569. At least some people willing to stand on the corner, with a

  570. brochure. Least, some people willing to

  571. ride on a bike through the neighborhood and ask people, do

  572. they know Jesus. We can criticize them.

  573. When's the last time you knocked on the door?

  574. Well, last time you have thrown a Peloton and practice

  575. witnessing. Are we just cool and we have

  576. taken God's grace for granted? We just on this treadmill called

  577. Christianity. We ain't going nowhere until he

  578. pick us up. Lord, forgive us.

  579. Forgive us. We are just as responsible

  580. people, going to hell. As a people as refused to come

  581. to you you saved us. So we can go You're just being

  582. blind. Can't be mad at a blind, man for

  583. being blind. He's blind.

  584. Here's the thing. We were all born blind.

  585. But then somebody came and preached the gospel and shine a

  586. light into our life. Don't you think you owe that to

  587. somebody? Don't you think you owe that to

  588. your family members this Christmas when you sitting

  589. around judging and being critical and passing up another

  590. opportunity, when the family all comes together to say, hey, I'm

  591. like, I don't, I don't care what you believe, but just kind of

  592. pray for you. Cannot deposit a seed.

  593. I just Harvest Time and the Lord is movie says, their hearts are

  594. like vast fields of ripened grain.

  595. He did say, a great vast Fields, there's thousands and I don't

  596. think he talking about the church, although a lot of loss

  597. loss, folks is in the church. But he's talking about man,

  598. folks, he's talking about Satanist he wants to save

  599. Satanist. He don't want to save Satan.

  600. That's just another religion. Let me tell you, who is a

  601. Satanist? Anybody kill a Christian saw was

  602. a Satanist, okay, anytime you murdering Christians, I don't

  603. know who work that is. This all can be.

  604. Transformed the ball. O Lord Bring Em In.

  605. Bring Em In. Bring Em here.

  606. No we don't want to bring those segments and we don't want to

  607. bring no witches in here. Well it will be if they want to

  608. come in here. I know what's in here.

  609. I don't know about you but I got some loaded people around me.

  610. We got some prayer where knowing that we've purified Our Lives, I

  611. have nothing in my conscious to be like, I don't I have no

  612. reason why power shouldn't flow through me because I don't, I

  613. have put Picked up my cross. I have put down my recreational,

  614. crutches, and I have become fully available for God to use

  615. me at any time. So, I don't know why, you don't

  616. think you can stand against bail, but I'm not bailing.

  617. As the crowds emerged. he says their hearts are ready, we're

  618. not held back by what we don't have, but by what we don't use,

  619. We see in Acts 1, he said I'm going to anoint.

  620. You my power is going to come up on you for one reason.

  621. You be my Witnesses. Let me help you, you don't need

  622. the Holy Ghost. If you don't need to witness,

  623. only reason the Holy Ghost is in upon us and in us, when the Holy

  624. Ghost get stirred up, is when you start opening your mouth to

  625. witness, when you start praying for somebody, when you start

  626. loving somebody, when you start believing for, Bodies Freedom,

  627. when you go and be an interruption in the enemy's

  628. Camp, that's what the whole anointing Rises up on you for

  629. when you start contending for the faith and challenging and

  630. pushing back Darkness, that's what the anointing comes up on

  631. you. For the Holy Spirit.

  632. Has one mission to empower us to lead the captives to freedom and

  633. to do minion. I want you to see this Jesus

  634. set, the captives free, but we are called to lead the captives

  635. free. Jesus set the captives free,

  636. that ain't my job but we're called to lead them to the

  637. freedom that the that was set before them.

  638. Okay here here's a prime example.

  639. Maxwell says the night before Herod plan to bring him to trial

  640. talking about Peter, he made sure that Peter was securely

  641. bound with two chains to Jane's. Right, right.

  642. He said the Night Before Peter was on his way to be killed

  643. beheaded, and it says, let me go back, let me, let me go.

  644. Let me go back. Jesus set the captives free, it

  645. is our job to lead them the freedom.

  646. Remember last week, we read a scripture that said that the

  647. government's will be put upon the church as the body

  648. shoulders. Not the Angels, but I want you

  649. to see here. Peter was sound asleep.

  650. What was he asleep? Between Two Soldiers with

  651. additional guards, stationed outside his cell door, so he

  652. will sleep and chained like, lost folks are, and some of us

  653. are asleep, all sleeping sleep. It's all sleeper, we were sleep

  654. and we were changed when that when all at once and the angel

  655. of the Lord appeared, a Believer appeared, Filling his prison

  656. cell with a brilliant light. We brought presents to the same.

  657. Let your what light shine. So, here's an angel on the

  658. scene. Now, he brings the presence of

  659. God, the angel struck. Peter said, hey, hey, hey hey,

  660. hurry up. Let's go.

  661. Jesus set the captives free, we need the captives free.

  662. It is my job to go in my family's life strategically,

  663. friends life, but my co-workers. Hey, hey, but first step is I

  664. bring Presents. First step is, I bring love, I

  665. bring joy. I'll be a display of Salvation

  666. then after a while when I see it's the right time.

  667. Hey, hey let's go come. Come talk with me.

  668. Follow me, he said, instantly the chains fell off of his.

  669. What wrist? The angel told him, get dressed.

  670. Well, I don't think Peter was in prison naked.

  671. He just had his jail clothes on. You know what I'm saying?

  672. You walk you walk, he had his jail clothes on and the gel that

  673. then the angel came with the light and he said, now get

  674. dressed. Put your clothes on, but your

  675. freedom suit on. Come on, put on your sandals,

  676. bring your cloak and what follow me.

  677. Paul said, Follow Me. Jesus said, follow me and the

  678. church to say, follow me Peter quickly left the cell and follow

  679. the angel. Even though he thought it was

  680. only a dream or a vision is freedom, that we should be

  681. leading people into, should be a moment in their life where they

  682. like, oh my God, I can't believe this freedom.

  683. I can't believe it. For it seemed unreal.

  684. He couldn't believe it was really happening.

  685. So, winning loosens, the grips of hell off of City fast as the

  686. grips of Grace on a soul. So winners loosens the grips.

  687. We just act against we not running from hell.

  688. We have two gates your tank. I ain't had time to change.

  689. Her time to change. We come in.

  690. If you ever come to the basketball game, that's how we

  691. play defense. We on the ground.

  692. We after the ball. And you see them frustrated

  693. complaining to the rafts. And that's how I see demons in

  694. the spirit realm running back to Lucifer saying man.

  695. Why you keep sending me to Troy they keep let every time I come

  696. they keep lifting the praise every time we tried that they

  697. not responded. I'm going to preach like this

  698. all day. Till you come out of your grave

  699. clothes, he said, oh Hallelujah. So, winners cover not condemned.

  700. First Peter above all constantly Echo God's intense.

  701. Love for one another for love will be a canopy over a

  702. multitude of sins. You ain't really forgave your

  703. enemy until you could pray for your enemy.

  704. Cover your enemy with prayer. Cover those who hurt you with

  705. prayer. Be compassionate to foreigners

  706. without complaining. What's the Foreigner?

  707. They come in here Little Ghetto Boy.

  708. Come in here. One day smell like a bunch of

  709. reefer Foreigner you young, man. You don't come into God's house

  710. smelling like that. I mean, there's some perfume

  711. I'll be feeling like singing young lady that where that's

  712. sent in God's house like that. Be compassionate.

  713. Every believer has received Grace gifts, every believer,

  714. Grace gifts. So use them to serve people.

  715. As faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God's

  716. grace. Wow.

  717. So if so, if I'm not witnessing, I'm actually taking God's grace

  718. in vain. I want you to get this when you

  719. do not witness when you do not win, souls, when you do not

  720. testify, when you do not lead people, when you do not display

  721. the grace of God, through using the grace gifts of God, guess

  722. what? You are taking God's grace, in

  723. vain, you can say, all you want. God, I thank you.

  724. If you really grateful, then you go share what he did for you.

  725. Nobody telling you to knock on the doors.

  726. Go talk to some people who made it out of the Twin Towers when

  727. they came down and let me tell you something, making it from

  728. help, making it out of hell. So much greater than making it

  729. out of the Twin Towers. T.

  730. It really boils down to how much you really believe.

  731. Like not just believe like you can't stay at Mustard Seed

  732. Faith. but do you really believe you saved and if so, from what

  733. Like the thought of being said, the thought of life after death

  734. is such a miracle that I can't keep it to myself.

  735. Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you

  736. take him for granted and despise him.

  737. Haven't you experienced? How kind and understanding he

  738. has been to you? No mistake.

  739. His tolerance for acceptance. Hey, have you awakened to how

  740. gracious? And merciful, he's been to you

  741. how many times we've walked away.

  742. How many times we've lied. How many times we've struck The

  743. Rock. How many times we've and he's

  744. never changed. Do you realize that all the

  745. wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your

  746. heart and lead you into repentance.

  747. The kindness of God is meant to lead.

  748. Man to repentance. That doesn't mean lead man to

  749. say sorry that means lead man to a turn.

  750. And they walk away. So winners draw lines in the

  751. sand so winners draw lines into the sand.

  752. So winners draw lines into the sand, John 8 tells us We'll pick

  753. their up in the will pick that up in the next service.

  754. Give got a hand. Just for the people who receive

  755. something. Father, in the name of Jesus, we

  769. power. So thank you for men and women

  770. who are willing to lay their lives down, so that power May

  771. flow through them. Lord, forgive us for where we've

  812. something. Writes like you hear someone has

  813. a cold but then you you didn't catch it.

  814. This is a church where I'm telling you from my style of

  815. teaching or preaching it is good.

  816. It's just an encouragement to you.

  817. To take some sort of notes, I promise you, if you posture

  818. yourself to take notes, you will listen differently as well as

  819. God will speak to you in a certain way.

  820. So I challenge everyone in here, it's not old school, it's not

  821. religion, it's stewardship, it's showing God.

  822. I really care about what you're about to say.

  823. And I know I don't have the capacity to retain all of these

  824. Supernatural words that you're about to speak.

  825. Right? And then here it is.

  826. Everyone in here is went to school in.

  827. Some of you are educational freaks which is great but how

  828. dare you going a classroom with a notebook?

  829. But in church you casual you ain't that.

  830. Smart Don't get offended. There's a, there's a, there's a,

  831. there's a posture that says Lord.

  832. I'm ready for what you have to say customized.

  833. Taylor me a word today. The Bible says, write it down,

  834. make it plain, All right, don't be someone that bombards heaven

  835. with requests but not standing at the post for the answer.

  836. Don't be so digital. Right, take some notes.

  837. I encourage you to do that if you don't want to that's totally

  838. fine but I encourage you to do that foundational track.

  839. Foundational track is coming up the last one of the year if you

  840. want to make love quest officially your church family

  841. and you desire to get a little bit more rooted.

  842. You desire to get to know some of the team.

  843. Some of the family you desire to serve at some point.

  844. This is this is your next step. And so that is November 26th at

  845. 10. A.m. we have some snacks for

  846. you? You, we have some Smiles for

  847. you. Some love for you will have some

  848. good time for you. Information will have some

  849. history for you. I'm asking you to come, but you

  850. need to sign up, please. Please please sign up.

  851. So we know how much food to get and we know how to prepare for

  852. you. So, so November 26.

  853. Go to the back and see our integration team and they will

  854. get you hooked up as well. December 20, December 11, say

  855. December 11th. Come on one more time, this

  856. Ember 11th. So we're right.

  857. We're right on the cusp of getting ready to get this

  858. building permit. We are submitting the full

  859. package anytime soon. Waiting.

  860. For the architect, we've given them everything they need.

  861. Once that gets going, we have building time to do, okay?

  862. And there's a lot of people who was not here for when we did the

  863. remnant project, okay? We always have two times of the

  864. year. We give big, that's the victory

  865. seed and that is the ground breaker seed which isn't

  866. February, but the end of the year is an opportunity to.

  867. So, a very generous seed because God has brought you through, he

  868. has blessed you, we are ending the year with a seed saying God

  869. thank you. And then in February that seed

  870. is saying God I'm believing for this year and God has been

  871. generous to a whole lot of people in here.

  872. Absolutely. And so what we're doing is

  873. taking those to see the opportunities to give really

  874. generously Towards a goal. I will have final numbers for

  875. you guys in the next week or so. Probably next Sunday.

  876. But it's for these numbers that's coming in is not just to

  877. get the thing built, its to furnish it.

  878. It's to create this youth center and it's the finish off our

  879. media center and the studio is looking.

  880. So phenomenal over there. It's pretty dope.

  881. And so plan and pray. A plan and pray God, what do you

  882. want me to give on December 11th?

  883. February is a specific. See that we asked for?

  884. We'll deal with that when it's time but this seed were asking

  885. we're going to put a number before you and then we're asking

  886. you to use your power. Use your resources, use your

  887. influence. Because let me tell you, it's

  888. more blessed to give than it is to receive.

  889. And we'll have scriptures will teach a little bit about giving

  890. next weekend. Hopefully Still come next

  891. weekend, but let me tell you some.

  892. Jesus talked about giving more than he talks about heaven.

  893. Go read your word, okay? Given is a part of the kingdom

  894. system, okay? Sowing and reaping, and so
