What's going on? Love quest Nation.
-
Thank you for tuning into the Love quest podcast.
-
Get your Bibles ready? Get your notebook, get your
-
coffee, get some water, whatever you need to do and get ready to
-
receive the time. Is right now.
-
Let's go. But when he told Christ, I am
-
pleased with you, the day that I received Jesus that were
-
transferred to me. In the difference between you
-
walking in Victory or not is you putting on Christ and you
-
putting on his sonship and then your feelings will catch up
-
later depending on how much mummy wrap you got on you.
-
But I know, and this is why it's important for us to confess and
-
sing and react and give our limbs to the words, right?
-
You go to a concert. You give you limbs to the words.
-
You give your body to the words, you no matter what kind of
-
concert it is, you start, you tell your body.
-
What's fun? You like you going to this
-
concert tonight? I bought tickets.
-
You going to jump because this beat banging.
-
When you come to church you have to do the same thing.
-
So much to where we actually think we thugs, because we
-
listen to thug music and give our our bodies that Doug music
-
so much. That if we listen to a sexual
-
song, We Begin our bodies. Begin to be turned on by the
-
words and the vibe, and the sonics and the voice.
-
That's being saying to us because we're giving our being
-
to it. So with these words and with
-
this music and it's coming out of a heart, that's anointed and
-
gifts. I have to give my body to it and
-
then it would become a reality to my soul but I can't give my
-
body to the world and think I am going to experience the kingdom
-
of God. Right?
-
It's so I just want to let you know again whether you know it
-
or not God is pleased with you if you just came out the crack
-
house last night, guess what? God is pleased with you?
-
Not because you was in the crack house or you avoided the crack
-
house but it's because someone died for you to cover you while
-
you was yet in the crack house. Somebody died for you while you
-
was yet snorting coke. Why you as yet sleeping around,
-
while you was yet getting drunk, guess what?
-
Somebody died for you? and the the the hard part is
-
when I live a life contrary when I live a carnal life, I don't
-
Rob God but I rob me from experience in the god in me
-
because you act of who don't mean, God ain't in you you can't
-
kick God out, he purchase you You can't kick him out but you
-
rob yourself of experience and love and peace.
-
And when we allow the world to come in, that's just why.
-
He says that carnality and a life of flesh is enmity, it
-
works against why. Because the flesh that's in, you
-
is right. Where the god that's in you.
-
So their, warring on the inside, it ain't the devil.
-
You're the gatekeeper of your soul guard.
-
Your heart for out of it flows. The issues of life.
-
It ain't the devil. The devil.
-
Listen, that anxiety is not the devil.
-
The devil takes advantage of yo, anxiety.
-
Right? He takes advantage of our
-
mindset. So if I can anxiety is King in
-
your life, guess what? Then the devil has a throne.
-
Your agreement gives him a throne to sit in.
-
So you have an opportunity every single Sunday Wednesday and
-
hopefully you grow to take whatever you get here.
-
Take it home with you what man. God is pleased with every last
-
one of us. That's the power of salvation.
-
I was I'll leave it here. If you walking down the street
-
or just say today you walked in and we had a conversation
-
afterwards, not saying, we will. Just throwing that out there.
-
But you walk up and you're in a dark place and I don't, I don't,
-
I don't know you in a dark place with something's on my heart to
-
just be like man. You are a very powerful person
-
or God has great plans for you or whatever.
-
The case may be hearing that out of my mouth from me, human, you
-
were probably your spirits may be lifted, you may believe that
-
if I tell you, that, you know, your jeans are super dope.
-
I could really not like your jeans, but because I'm a soul
-
winner. I might but think of how many
-
people you believe and think how hard it is for you to believe.
-
God you go to restaurants, you watch commercials you try
-
deodorant. See, try perfumes.
-
You spend so much money because you believe people.
-
And how many products have failed you?
-
How many times have you changed products?
-
So how is it so easy for you to believe people who have sinned
-
in their hearts and they will fail you, but here's a perfect
-
God. Who loves you, he's proved his
-
love and he's saying I'm pleased with you.
-
You have two graphs that because there's many people, you will
-
disappoint and you can't live off of other people's
-
disappointment or approval of you.
-
Amen. Say I'm chosen, not forsaken.
-
I am. Who he says, I am tell your
-
neighbor. You are who he says you are.
-
So please believe it. Now, sit down.
-
Can we make some noise for our first time?
-
Attendees one time. Amen.
-
Amen amen. Amen.
-
Sorry we I'm not sorry we got we leveling with me and we really
-
trying to get this place ready for you know the Harvest.
-
So you see the concrete over there is settling and we we got
-
to get a few things done. We trying to make sure The water
-
don't come inside the tent and we doing what he says, expanding
-
our tent pigs. We believe in for the Harvest we
-
doing watch, God feels it. He said expand the tent paid and
-
if we have more room, we get some more tents.
-
But we don't have no room, we need parking spaces.
-
Amen. And Welcome to our streaming
-
audience. Good morning Tintin.
-
That's horrible, like five people.
-
Okay, yes, people Street them right now and they did.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
I always look forward to 10 a.m. because it's the start of a
-
really wonderful day. Sunday is my Sunday.
-
And Wednesdays are my most favorite days of the week.
-
Besides the ones I get to hang out with my wife and my
-
children, but they always gone. So, To school to school, are let
-
me have right in here. Tis, the season tis the season,
-
this is the season. Let me just hop right in here.
-
I do encourage people to please go and catch up for context the
-
messages that have been preached in this series up to this point.
-
But overall, it's just saying this is the season.
-
This is the time the Harvest is here.
-
Not next month? Not next year.
-
This is the season. The Harvest is here.
-
This is the season and breakthrough is here.
-
It's not next year, I'm not writing off the last month and a
-
half to get to next year. Next year, won't be better
-
unless you finish this year the way you supposed to finish it.
-
I'll say it again. Next year is not going to be no
-
better than this year. If you end the year with the
-
same faith that you started the year with, right?
-
We got to go in the next year with momentum, with growing
-
Faith, exceeding Faith with confidence.
-
We got to leave some some some some bondage in 2022.
-
We gotta leave it here right? We got to leave some mindsets in
-
2022. We got a 2022.
-
Has to be a place that we've walked out of Victorious.
-
Okay. So the arising in the Rival Sons
-
and Daughters, let me tell you why you are here.
-
Let me tell you why you are here, you're here to be salt,
-
seasoning. You're here to be saw seasoning
-
life-preserving. You're here to bring flavor to
-
the world. You're here to bring flavor to
-
the world, not lemons, to the world, but good flavor to the
-
world. You're here to bring the god
-
flavors of this. Earth.
-
You're here to bring good flavors out of people's lives,
-
right? You ever you ever you ever?
-
This is why I love certain foods restaurants.
-
I really love food. It's like it's actually a thing,
-
right? It's a thing and certain
-
pairings. When you, when I was, when I
-
used to drink wine, long time ago, and things of that nature,
-
you know, there's certain wines that are paired with certain
-
meats and sir. Certain things and they pair
-
together. And the reason a pair together
-
is because it's meant to bring out certain flavors.
-
Right there, certain notes in coffee.
-
Right? That's no wine.
-
That's new wine. It's certain notes in coffee.
-
There's almond notes. There's apricot knows.
-
I hate acidic coffee it. Tears my stomach up.
-
So I need lighter roses. Lease lease acidic, but it
-
brings certain flavors of coffee.
-
Go well, with certain kinds of milk.
-
Now, those that don't care about coffee, you'll just drink
-
whatever coffee and just drowning with a bunch of milk
-
and sugar. But if you like coffee and you
-
appreciate coffee, there are notes in there that some like
-
really really, really, really good coffee.
-
Needs nothing. Added you go to some bougie,
-
cafes, they will get insulted. You ask for a latte?
-
No you don't drink this straight.
-
Right because there's notes. This is why pour overs are
-
popular and good because it's meant to drink without cream
-
because there are certain flavors in it right, but it's
-
not until certain things get mixed in that.
-
It brings out and highlights certain notes and that's the
-
thing. About people's lives.
-
I have become a person who love bringing out the notes in your
-
life. Som have chocolate notes, some
-
have caramel know, some have toffee-nosed.
-
Some have apricot or Citrus, like there's different type of
-
notes in people's lives and then there's bad combinations that
-
bring our bad notes. There's certain people that come
-
in your life, that bring out some bad stuff like if you a
-
gossiper and gossiper come around you, that's not bringing
-
out the god flavors. That's bringing out.
-
He'll flavors complainers, getting around complainers,
-
bring out, not God flavors. You know what I'm saying?
-
Fearful conversations, fearful people getting around, fearful
-
people, you bring out, you bring out hell, this starts hell is
-
conversate, those aren't God flavors.
-
And what God is saying here is, we are created called and he has
-
joined us to bring out the flavors that he has pre put in P
-
prepackaged and is my job, your job.
-
You are anointed to bring out the notes and the flavors and
-
people's lives and caused them to be.
-
Be a very tasteful people so they can go in the world and
-
bring out flavors in people's lives, but you got to get rid of
-
the bitterness out of your life. You got to get rid of
-
unforgiveness out of your life. You got to get rid of nasty
-
perspectives because nasty perspectives, Purdue's nasty
-
flavors and I don't want prune juice.
-
I don't necessarily care for certain shots like, like Cayenne
-
with this and that, but sometimes it's good for you, but
-
don't think your bitterness is good for anybody, that's not
-
what I'm saying. But here's the question, are you
-
bringing the god flavors out of your children?
-
Are you bringing the god flavors out of your spouse?
-
Are you bringing the god flavors out of your co-workers?
-
Or do you take what God has done in your heart?
-
You go to work and you become gossip Central.
-
You go on your campus and you become a complainer.
-
Now the testifier a complainer, are you bringing out the
-
goodness in people's life because every human being on
-
this planet, every human being has good in them.
-
Every human being, you know? What's so crazy will write him
-
off to the devil, but you helped the Devil by not discipling
-
testifying plant seeds and they life passivity and complaining
-
and point out the bad in people is not what were called to Stiff
-
arm and people their evil. Okay.
-
Well where's your power to get them delivered?
-
because which one is more of a shame, the world being the world
-
or Christian with no power, They when you come around, things
-
should change, right? Or at bare, minimum, a spirit
-
that has been tormenting, a area, has to go.
-
And if the people don't want to get free, they going to go with
-
it, but you not going to stay around me and be comfortable.
-
If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?
-
If you lose your arm, your flavor, you you're preserving
-
power, your specialty write this y, Milano and Prado in these
-
different coffee. Companies can be who they are
-
because they're consistent Through the Ages.
-
Right. You go to Starbucks.
-
Are you want? You can go to some little but
-
man, you back coffee is bad coffee.
-
I see a bad coffee, too. Close to Starbucks.
-
So anybody that loves Starbucks. I'm sorry.
-
I'm not saying, Starbucks is Bad Coffee.
-
They have some cool stuff, but what I'm saying is there's
-
nothing like that homegrown, local coffee company, who really
-
takes their time, they're not over quantity, they're not over
-
saturated, but they really take their time with what they do.
-
The bird. The quality at Santana.
-
Milano is a little different than out of Starbucks.
-
Just a little different that latte that oat milk is a little
-
bit more real, right? When you see the milk come out,
-
the fridge at Starbucks and it just got a name like this.
-
I don't know, it just green. No, I need to see bougie oat
-
milk and bougie. Almond milk and bullshit.
-
You know I'm saying? I need I need to see the sign
-
that says house. Made almond milk.
-
Right, that's rich and that's just it just different.
-
That's what people appreciate. Is authenticity.
-
Let me, let me help. Some people here that like to
-
keep it real authenticity. Doesn't necessarily mean, I'm
-
going to keep it real and people appreciate me because they at
-
least know what? I feel, get that, get that hell
-
out of here. Imma keep it 100 know you will
-
fool because because if you think cussing people out, or if
-
you think talking about people are telling somebody I really
-
don't like you like you think that's authentic.
-
No that's hurt. That's pain.
-
That's bitterness, that's ego, that's Pride which is it?
-
You It's a version of you that was birthed out of pain.
-
So it's not all that it's the authentic pain version of you,
-
but it's not the authentic God version of you, right?
-
God has called us to be the most authentic version of ourselves.
-
So why stop at a false sense of boldness?
-
That God's not respecting you because you can tell somebody
-
How you feel? No God says.
-
Shut your mouth to preserve people's life.
-
I'm keeping it 100. No, you're not.
-
Go. Tell your boss, how you really
-
feel? Keep it 100 and see if you keep
-
your job. You're not keeping it 100, cause
-
you to lose some friends. That have caused you to get
-
divorced. He was keeping it. 100 wisdom
-
says you have to sift through some things.
-
Here's another way to put it. You're here to be lights.
-
You're here to be lying to your here to be like to be loved.
-
Beltran. Mikono America, you have to see
-
Coming to America. The first one, but that's okay.
-
You're here to be like bringing out the colors.
-
So we bring out flavors and we bring out colors.
-
We bring out flavors and we bring out colors, right?
-
You go into a dark room and you see pictures being developed,
-
what happens that picture was still there within it.
-
Became known. It came to the The surface, my
-
job, your job is to bring people's goodness to the surface
-
bury. The bad bury the evil bury the
-
bitter and bring the goodness to the surface.
-
God is not a secret to be kept. Going public with this as public
-
as a city on a hill. We read this last week, Lord
-
says, I'm putting you on a light stand.
-
You notice he said whether you like it or not, I'm putting you
-
on a light stand. Put you on light stand.
-
I'm giving you gold teeth smile or not.
-
When I'm putting them in your mouth.
-
That's what I'm saying. I'm putting you on a light
-
stand, you can shine if you want to or not, and I think that's an
-
insult to God. When he says I'm gonna exalt
-
you, I'm gonna promote you, I'm gonna put you before, man.
-
I'm going to put you in special places.
-
I am going to call you to, Wally.
-
I'm gonna call you to where there's Darkness where people
-
need you. I'm gonna call you to Darkness.
-
I'm gonna call you to a problem, but put the solution in you,
-
I'll say it again. I'm gonna call you to a problem.
-
Look at being called to problems as privileges, right?
-
You're not your, it's not, it's not a privilege to be a
-
firefighter. If you don't never get called to
-
a fire, you might as well just be an EMT.
-
Right. But when God calls you to a
-
problem, stop complaining. I think so.
-
I think so sir, I think so. I really think so, he says, now
-
that I put you up there shine, that's all we need is a shot,
-
right? It's like it's like you put the
-
light bulb, you change the light bulb bop, bop, bop, bop, bop,
-
bop, bop, boom, it's on. Have you ever put a light bulb
-
in the light? and turned it on and said, now
-
shine, have you ever had to go back to it and be like why you
-
not When can God just turn you on and you just stay lit?
-
Why you keep flickering? Right?
-
Why you keep flickering, huh? Why you keep, and sometimes you
-
unplugged. Sometimes you you that that like
-
that just needed a little, a little touch.
-
But you determine which one you are some of y'all unplug.
-
But just shine. It's in you you don't you don't
-
necessarily have to try you be its nature.
-
Said be opening. I love this by opening up to
-
others. You you keep open house.
-
Right. What does he ever?
-
You ever? You ever went looking looking
-
where everyone to open house? Like, it's open, right?
-
It's a model home. You can walk in there.
-
Certain time tender for open house.
-
What does that mean 10 for open house?
-
The doors open? You just walk in, right?
-
And you can you can come and go to tour the house, right?
-
This is why Paul says follow me. Right?
-
Is there any place in your life that you like?
-
Now you can't come over there because that ain't God but he's
-
trying to get you to a place where you can just say come on
-
in open house and there's no, that's authentic right there
-
were throwing through what you see.
-
Here's what you see there. What just see.
-
Is what you get. Amen.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
Keep open house. Look, be generous with your
-
lives. Some people are generous with
-
complaining. Right.
-
He said be generous in July's look by opening up to others.
-
You'll prompt people to open up with God by opening your life
-
up. Two others.
-
Your prompt people to open up with God.
-
This generous Father in Heaven, you can't stay open and be
-
generous if you don't stay full and overflowing, I'll say it
-
again. You cannot stay open and be
-
generous you think of money. If you just got enough money,
-
you can't help other people. So if you just gotta just just
-
enough, Joy, you can't share it with other people.
-
Right. You can't share when you own
-
your last nerve. How did you get to your last
-
nerve? Right.
-
How do you get to your last nerve?
-
You cannot stay open and be generous if you don't stay full
-
and overflowing. So this is what I got to say
-
tapped in this is where I got to meet with you guys every Sunday
-
and every Wednesday because I need this space.
-
As much as you need this space, I get encouragement when I see
-
you guys and we walked by, hey, how you doing pasty?
-
Hey, how you doing? Andre hey, how you doing?
-
Andrew. Hey, how you doing Andy?
-
Hey, how you doing, Anthony? Hey, how you doing?
-
God is good. The Lord is with you, don't
-
worry about it, be strong in the Lord.
-
When you walk around Faith like that, this is why I stay all day
-
because all day for holding, you know, you stay at work all day
-
and you, you leave tired. I leave here tired.
-
But physically, but my soul is so full.
-
I'm so full. I'm so full.
-
I know you're in there. Some people you got to be
-
careful what you do after church.
-
I know 10:30 is 10:00 is convenient but what you doing
-
after this you might as well just not come at 10 because what
-
you doing after this? Just kind of cancels out because
-
you'll spend out 90-minute your Rush, got 90 minutes.
-
Boom gotta go and then the rest of your time is around
-
complainers fear. You know all those things right.
-
Some people got playing you smoke a little weed today but I
-
wanted to church, do you know I'm saying?
-
I'm with the tired. You feel me?
-
Let my light shine, huh? Okay.
-
Stay open and be generous if you don't stay full and overflowing
-
didn't say you feel like coming all day, but ask your soul
-
doesn't need it. You ask your flesh.
-
What he needs is going to take you away.
-
From what your spirit needs. You don't ever give your spirit
-
or your flesh, the option. Now I'm telling you where to go.
-
You took me in the club for years.
-
Now, I'm taking you to the Altar for the rest of my life.
-
It's a choice. Whenever you are or whatever you
-
are overflowing with, you will be generous with Good or bad
-
life or death, good or bad life or death, whatever you are
-
overflowing with is why you got to be careful, what you watch,
-
what you, what you, you know what I mean?
-
Like some people, you just you stay in one place you made your
-
in this space, you got to be careful with your hobbies is,
-
right? Are you you do hobbies that puff
-
you up, like whatever you are overflowing with, you will be
-
generous with good or bad life or death.
-
Right. So, whatever, you give your
-
gates to your ears, your eyes, your mouth, whatever, you give
-
your gates to your ears, your eyes, and your mouth, it will
-
enter into your heart and out of the abundance of the heart.
-
The what mouse out of the abundance of the heart, the
-
mouth will be generous and it will speak it and life and death
-
is in the power to tongue so it enters the gates gets in your
-
heart is stirs it. Up it pours it out and it
-
creates your life. That's why you gotta Guard your
-
heart for out of it, blows the issues of Life.
-
Your life does not happen by accident.
-
It comes out of your heart, but it starts by what you pay
-
attention to, it's what you feeding yourself.
-
John Force has to clarify. Jesus speaks, he spoke.
-
And he said my food is to do. The will of him who sent me and
-
bring it to completion. My will my wil that wasn't my
-
well, before that wasn't my will before, then my will became
-
Jesus Will And now we turn in together.
-
Look, my food is to do the will of him who sent me and bring it
-
to completion. Everybody in here has a work to
-
complete. I don't know if you doing the
-
right work, that's on you to determine but everybody was born
-
with a work. You should not waste your time,
-
not doing the work and not everybody's work is up here or
-
back there, but wherever you are, you got to work.
-
And your job is to bring it to completion as the crowds emerged
-
from the village. Jesus said to his disciples, why
-
would you say bro? The Harvest is another four
-
months away. Guys, I hate the way y'all be
-
thinking. Jesus speaking look.
-
The people are coming. Now is the Harvest.
-
What else do you need? The people are coming.
-
Great, you got a sandwich. You brought me some food back
-
but that does not fulfill me. I'm looking for fulfillment.
-
You looking for satisfaction? What y'all getting high off of
-
don't fulfill you and it will never fulfill me.
-
I'm over here at the, with the woman at the well, and because I
-
passed on a sandwich, she went into the village, and she just
-
preach the gospel. And now, do you see the Harvest
-
is coming? People are telling of people,
-
people are telling other people about this Wellness River.
-
This ocean, this Oasis, man, I'm around where Joy is, I found
-
where life is And like I said, last week, man, we got is
-
holding this church responsible. He's about to bring all
-
religions in here. Last week we had him do, we had
-
Muslim, we have what, we have Buddhist, we have new age, all
-
in this service and every last one of them is like, man, I got
-
a lot of questions, but I just feel something here.
-
So you live with your little Christian self.
-
You can go and be religious all you want.
-
You can go to any church, you But God is bringing folks from
-
other related. And when he changed the hearts
-
of folks, from other religion, when people walk away from their
-
cultural religion. When they walk man, they gonna
-
be the on fire people. Let's little stale.
-
Christians, God don't need you. No more.
-
If you are, you want to do is coach Coast but he bout to bring
-
some Muslims change their heart and who they wanted to be Muslim
-
for. They gonna be for Jesus Christ.
-
He is gonna get the boot. Is he gonna get the new Ager?
-
He go get some people who are ready to preach the gospel.
-
And we got our low religious Saints.
-
We didn't let Church where our butts out, man.
-
I don't need no church transfers.
-
Give me some religion transfers, bring me some Muslims in here.
-
Bring me some people who was almost ready to die for their
-
religion. Bring me some people who grew up
-
respecting God, bring me some people who was in the wrong
-
Kingdom, but understood Kingdom get rid of all the religious
-
stuff and bring me some people who are willing to really Left
-
day life down, bring me some people from the Middle East that
-
know how to party that know how to celebrate that know how to
-
throw their hands up that know how to dance.
-
Bring me some. People bring me some people and
-
this what he's saying I don't got time for the Pharisee.
-
I don't got time for this ad. You see I need some people who
-
are grateful for being alive today.
-
Some folks just hire On Church, man.
-
I told him last week, man, bring me all the Hindus bring there's
-
a plate. Me and you think God and this
-
what we gonna get into later on tonight and I hope next service
-
or tonight, man. We gonna get into this all, he's
-
bringing them. The real guy, the Agape, there's
-
room for every religion Under One Roof.
-
They he going to show himself strong and then people got to
-
make a real Choice. He can't hold them accountable
-
sitting in the mosque, in the church and witnessing, they grew
-
up in the mosque. What'd you expect some of y'all
-
grew up Christian and you just Christian and you just said,
-
hello? I'm Christian.
-
I grew up that way. But no there was a time in 2007
-
although I was a baby growing up in church, I have to learn to
-
follow Jesus for myself not on my Grandmama's Faith.
-
So there's people in the mosque next door, that's how they grew
-
up. So you can't blame them for
-
being obedient and honoring their honoring, their family and
-
until we could show them proof. Why transfer, why give their
-
hearts to Jesus? We are unhappy and they got
-
piece. They can pray for three hours.
-
We can't even have a prayer meeting where the whole church
-
comes. They can pray for a month
-
together and we complaining about one morning service.
-
Are you kidding me? We don't got no power to no,
-
other religion, they witness their unified, they're willing
-
to die for their faith. We can plane in about fasting.
-
They fast for lifestyle. What are you talking about?
-
We are a pathetic faith. If we don't look like Jesus, If
-
you really quick Christianity, as a religion next to other
-
religion, we don't have no power.
-
We are so weak and small. We're confuse.
-
People other religions. Look at them.
-
Oh, they willing to put down alcohol, they willing to where
-
they turbines in public, and let you know, they willing to stop
-
and put they match down in public at 5 p.m. and pray.
-
We can't even bless our food. They walk his family, they
-
willing to dance in the street and put up tents and do all
-
kinds of stuff who are we? We supposed to have the savior
-
of the world and we ashamed We complain about a son give God a
-
Sunday, these fakes give God every single day.
-
They gather they live are gathering.
-
There are strong people. You can't expect Just go pluck
-
people out of Buddhism and plug people out of seeking and pluck
-
people. No, you can't do that.
-
God ain't even trying to do that.
-
You don't just go arrest people, know you be a display.
-
Are you as discipline? Because religion for religion.
-
There's religions killing us because they, there's religions
-
that on the whole lot of colleges in and out.
-
Restaurants, they do business real.
-
Well, we fighting against money, we holding on the money.
-
But you wonder how the Muslim can in the Mormon can Because we
-
too may Jesus out of this person full of poverty.
-
And we just would just stand these tents in this auto body
-
shop forever because the Lord is here.
-
But you look at these other religions.
-
They're wealthy, but we made it look like Jesus.
-
Don't like wealth. You kidding where the wealth
-
come from? Yeah, religion.
-
For religion. Feels about religion as people
-
in prison. Hello, some brothers stand with
-
the Muslims in prison least, where I'm from.
-
Now, I'm in the Lord's, calling us higher and what I'm so happy
-
for is, I'm not looking for more Christians.
-
I believe this house it's gonna be a place for all nations
-
literally, and it's going to be a place where the Father, the
-
god of the universe. Ministers to the heart of his
-
children, then they can make a religious decision, so we don't
-
have to be equipped. We don't have to others
-
understand other people's faith and why they believe and not
-
bash them because they believe that, that's all they knew.
-
Because without following Jesus, your as a religious without
-
being a sacrifice without loving without forgiving.
-
Guess what you are. Just as religious we live in by
-
just head knowledge. Your gesture is religious but at
-
least some people are willing to die for their faith.
-
Least, some people are willing to knock on the door.
-
At least some people willing to stand on the corner, with a
-
brochure. Least, some people willing to
-
ride on a bike through the neighborhood and ask people, do
-
they know Jesus. We can criticize them.
-
When's the last time you knocked on the door?
-
Well, last time you have thrown a Peloton and practice
-
witnessing. Are we just cool and we have
-
taken God's grace for granted? We just on this treadmill called
-
Christianity. We ain't going nowhere until he
-
pick us up. Lord, forgive us.
-
Forgive us. We are just as responsible
-
people, going to hell. As a people as refused to come
-
to you you saved us. So we can go You're just being
-
blind. Can't be mad at a blind, man for
-
being blind. He's blind.
-
Here's the thing. We were all born blind.
-
But then somebody came and preached the gospel and shine a
-
light into our life. Don't you think you owe that to
-
somebody? Don't you think you owe that to
-
your family members this Christmas when you sitting
-
around judging and being critical and passing up another
-
opportunity, when the family all comes together to say, hey, I'm
-
like, I don't, I don't care what you believe, but just kind of
-
pray for you. Cannot deposit a seed.
-
I just Harvest Time and the Lord is movie says, their hearts are
-
like vast fields of ripened grain.
-
He did say, a great vast Fields, there's thousands and I don't
-
think he talking about the church, although a lot of loss
-
loss, folks is in the church. But he's talking about man,
-
folks, he's talking about Satanist he wants to save
-
Satanist. He don't want to save Satan.
-
That's just another religion. Let me tell you, who is a
-
Satanist? Anybody kill a Christian saw was
-
a Satanist, okay, anytime you murdering Christians, I don't
-
know who work that is. This all can be.
-
Transformed the ball. O Lord Bring Em In.
-
Bring Em In. Bring Em here.
-
No we don't want to bring those segments and we don't want to
-
bring no witches in here. Well it will be if they want to
-
come in here. I know what's in here.
-
I don't know about you but I got some loaded people around me.
-
We got some prayer where knowing that we've purified Our Lives, I
-
have nothing in my conscious to be like, I don't I have no
-
reason why power shouldn't flow through me because I don't, I
-
have put Picked up my cross. I have put down my recreational,
-
crutches, and I have become fully available for God to use
-
me at any time. So, I don't know why, you don't
-
think you can stand against bail, but I'm not bailing.
-
As the crowds emerged. he says their hearts are ready, we're
-
not held back by what we don't have, but by what we don't use,
-
We see in Acts 1, he said I'm going to anoint.
-
You my power is going to come up on you for one reason.
-
You be my Witnesses. Let me help you, you don't need
-
the Holy Ghost. If you don't need to witness,
-
only reason the Holy Ghost is in upon us and in us, when the Holy
-
Ghost get stirred up, is when you start opening your mouth to
-
witness, when you start praying for somebody, when you start
-
loving somebody, when you start believing for, Bodies Freedom,
-
when you go and be an interruption in the enemy's
-
Camp, that's what the whole anointing Rises up on you for
-
when you start contending for the faith and challenging and
-
pushing back Darkness, that's what the anointing comes up on
-
you. For the Holy Spirit.
-
Has one mission to empower us to lead the captives to freedom and
-
to do minion. I want you to see this Jesus
-
set, the captives free, but we are called to lead the captives
-
free. Jesus set the captives free,
-
that ain't my job but we're called to lead them to the
-
freedom that the that was set before them.
-
Okay here here's a prime example.
-
Maxwell says the night before Herod plan to bring him to trial
-
talking about Peter, he made sure that Peter was securely
-
bound with two chains to Jane's. Right, right.
-
He said the Night Before Peter was on his way to be killed
-
beheaded, and it says, let me go back, let me, let me go.
-
Let me go back. Jesus set the captives free, it
-
is our job to lead them the freedom.
-
Remember last week, we read a scripture that said that the
-
government's will be put upon the church as the body
-
shoulders. Not the Angels, but I want you
-
to see here. Peter was sound asleep.
-
What was he asleep? Between Two Soldiers with
-
additional guards, stationed outside his cell door, so he
-
will sleep and chained like, lost folks are, and some of us
-
are asleep, all sleeping sleep. It's all sleeper, we were sleep
-
and we were changed when that when all at once and the angel
-
of the Lord appeared, a Believer appeared, Filling his prison
-
cell with a brilliant light. We brought presents to the same.
-
Let your what light shine. So, here's an angel on the
-
scene. Now, he brings the presence of
-
God, the angel struck. Peter said, hey, hey, hey hey,
-
hurry up. Let's go.
-
Jesus set the captives free, we need the captives free.
-
It is my job to go in my family's life strategically,
-
friends life, but my co-workers. Hey, hey, but first step is I
-
bring Presents. First step is, I bring love, I
-
bring joy. I'll be a display of Salvation
-
then after a while when I see it's the right time.
-
Hey, hey let's go come. Come talk with me.
-
Follow me, he said, instantly the chains fell off of his.
-
What wrist? The angel told him, get dressed.
-
Well, I don't think Peter was in prison naked.
-
He just had his jail clothes on. You know what I'm saying?
-
You walk you walk, he had his jail clothes on and the gel that
-
then the angel came with the light and he said, now get
-
dressed. Put your clothes on, but your
-
freedom suit on. Come on, put on your sandals,
-
bring your cloak and what follow me.
-
Paul said, Follow Me. Jesus said, follow me and the
-
church to say, follow me Peter quickly left the cell and follow
-
the angel. Even though he thought it was
-
only a dream or a vision is freedom, that we should be
-
leading people into, should be a moment in their life where they
-
like, oh my God, I can't believe this freedom.
-
I can't believe it. For it seemed unreal.
-
He couldn't believe it was really happening.
-
So, winning loosens, the grips of hell off of City fast as the
-
grips of Grace on a soul. So winners loosens the grips.
-
We just act against we not running from hell.
-
We have two gates your tank. I ain't had time to change.
-
Her time to change. We come in.
-
If you ever come to the basketball game, that's how we
-
play defense. We on the ground.
-
We after the ball. And you see them frustrated
-
complaining to the rafts. And that's how I see demons in
-
the spirit realm running back to Lucifer saying man.
-
Why you keep sending me to Troy they keep let every time I come
-
they keep lifting the praise every time we tried that they
-
not responded. I'm going to preach like this
-
all day. Till you come out of your grave
-
clothes, he said, oh Hallelujah. So, winners cover not condemned.
-
First Peter above all constantly Echo God's intense.
-
Love for one another for love will be a canopy over a
-
multitude of sins. You ain't really forgave your
-
enemy until you could pray for your enemy.
-
Cover your enemy with prayer. Cover those who hurt you with
-
prayer. Be compassionate to foreigners
-
without complaining. What's the Foreigner?
-
They come in here Little Ghetto Boy.
-
Come in here. One day smell like a bunch of
-
reefer Foreigner you young, man. You don't come into God's house
-
smelling like that. I mean, there's some perfume
-
I'll be feeling like singing young lady that where that's
-
sent in God's house like that. Be compassionate.
-
Every believer has received Grace gifts, every believer,
-
Grace gifts. So use them to serve people.
-
As faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God's
-
grace. Wow.
-
So if so, if I'm not witnessing, I'm actually taking God's grace
-
in vain. I want you to get this when you
-
do not witness when you do not win, souls, when you do not
-
testify, when you do not lead people, when you do not display
-
the grace of God, through using the grace gifts of God, guess
-
what? You are taking God's grace, in
-
vain, you can say, all you want. God, I thank you.
-
If you really grateful, then you go share what he did for you.
-
Nobody telling you to knock on the doors.
-
Go talk to some people who made it out of the Twin Towers when
-
they came down and let me tell you something, making it from
-
help, making it out of hell. So much greater than making it
-
out of the Twin Towers. T.
-
It really boils down to how much you really believe.
-
Like not just believe like you can't stay at Mustard Seed
-
Faith. but do you really believe you saved and if so, from what
-
Like the thought of being said, the thought of life after death
-
is such a miracle that I can't keep it to myself.
-
Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you
-
take him for granted and despise him.
-
Haven't you experienced? How kind and understanding he
-
has been to you? No mistake.
-
His tolerance for acceptance. Hey, have you awakened to how
-
gracious? And merciful, he's been to you
-
how many times we've walked away.
-
How many times we've lied. How many times we've struck The
-
Rock. How many times we've and he's
-
never changed. Do you realize that all the
-
wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your
-
heart and lead you into repentance.
-
The kindness of God is meant to lead.
-
Man to repentance. That doesn't mean lead man to
-
say sorry that means lead man to a turn.
-
And they walk away. So winners draw lines in the
-
sand so winners draw lines into the sand.
-
So winners draw lines into the sand, John 8 tells us We'll pick
-
their up in the will pick that up in the next service.
-
Give got a hand. Just for the people who receive
-
something. Father, in the name of Jesus, we
-
thank you, we praise you. We honor you, and we glorify
-
you, we thank you for your goodness.
-
We thank you for your mercy. We thank you for other
-
personally. I thank you for saving my life.
-
I thank you for sending people to me, to preach the gospel, to
-
reiterate the gospel to be examples of the Gospel.
-
I thank you for sending living Epistles into my life that Made
-
the road to you, clear, thank you, Father, that you have given
-
us the discernment. Well, I thank you that you are
-
raising up authenticity. You raising up men and women who
-
really really want to bring you glory.
-
You're raising up men and women who aren't just talking because
-
we know the kingdom of God is Not Mere talk, whether it is of
-
power. So thank you for men and women
-
who are willing to lay their lives down, so that power May
-
flow through them. Lord, forgive us for where we've
-
compromised and become a roadblock.
-
Lord, in the name of Jesus, I ask you, Holy Spirit.
-
Set the captives free. And Lord, I pray that you send
-
Love quest, Freedom workers. That's willing to lead people to
-
this Freedom that we are experiencing.
-
Lord. I Thank you for those who are
-
willing to be contagious that you make them contagious.
-
May we spread your love, may, we spread the virus of your grace,
-
may we spread your Agape? Lord, I pray that this is a
-
house that you could trust with all nations but holy spirit, we
-
ask one thing that you teach us and you equip us.
-
Chess and equip us so that we may wisely and strategically
-
lead the diversity of people. So Lord, we call in from the
-
north south east and the West, your sons and daughters all
-
shapes and types. All nationalities, all cultures,
-
all ethnicities. Lord, God we call in immigrants,
-
we call in refugees Lord, we call in the brown, the black,
-
the yellow, the white, Lord, whatever we call them in.
-
Now, in Jesus name, we call in the drug addict, The Prostitute
-
father, we call it in. Now, in the name of Jesus, we
-
call in the billionaire, we call in the millionaire, we call in
-
the dowels in there, we call in the hundred are Lord, we call in
-
the dollar are Lord, we just call them all in, send them
-
Lord. But what I do promise Lord by
-
your might and your power. the way people come in, they will
-
not walk out this May your power rest in this place.
-
We thank you for confirming your word today, with signs Miracles
-
and wonders. Lord.
-
Feel this Temple today. May your train filled this
-
Temple today and as we go on from service to service, may we
-
go from glory to glory and Lord, we surrender this entire day to
-
you and we say thank you for giving it to us for this is the
-
day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice.
-
Joyce and be glad in it in Jesus name.
-
Amen. If you believe that, just shout
-
a man one time. Thank you.
-
I just got a couple of announcements for you really
-
quickly. I hope my hope and prayer, I'll
-
just put this out there for you. I will tell you this.
-
There's a difference between hearing something and catching
-
something. Writes like you hear someone has
-
a cold but then you you didn't catch it.
-
This is a church where I'm telling you from my style of
-
teaching or preaching it is good.
-
It's just an encouragement to you.
-
To take some sort of notes, I promise you, if you posture
-
yourself to take notes, you will listen differently as well as
-
God will speak to you in a certain way.
-
So I challenge everyone in here, it's not old school, it's not
-
religion, it's stewardship, it's showing God.
-
I really care about what you're about to say.
-
And I know I don't have the capacity to retain all of these
-
Supernatural words that you're about to speak.
-
Right? And then here it is.
-
Everyone in here is went to school in.
-
Some of you are educational freaks which is great but how
-
dare you going a classroom with a notebook?
-
But in church you casual you ain't that.
-
Smart Don't get offended. There's a, there's a, there's a,
-
there's a posture that says Lord.
-
I'm ready for what you have to say customized.
-
Taylor me a word today. The Bible says, write it down,
-
make it plain, All right, don't be someone that bombards heaven
-
with requests but not standing at the post for the answer.
-
Don't be so digital. Right, take some notes.
-
I encourage you to do that if you don't want to that's totally
-
fine but I encourage you to do that foundational track.
-
Foundational track is coming up the last one of the year if you
-
want to make love quest officially your church family
-
and you desire to get a little bit more rooted.
-
You desire to get to know some of the team.
-
Some of the family you desire to serve at some point.
-
This is this is your next step. And so that is November 26th at
-
10. A.m. we have some snacks for
-
you? You, we have some Smiles for
-
you. Some love for you will have some
-
good time for you. Information will have some
-
history for you. I'm asking you to come, but you
-
need to sign up, please. Please please sign up.
-
So we know how much food to get and we know how to prepare for
-
you. So, so November 26.
-
Go to the back and see our integration team and they will
-
get you hooked up as well. December 20, December 11, say
-
December 11th. Come on one more time, this
-
Ember 11th. So we're right.
-
We're right on the cusp of getting ready to get this
-
building permit. We are submitting the full
-
package anytime soon. Waiting.
-
For the architect, we've given them everything they need.
-
Once that gets going, we have building time to do, okay?
-
And there's a lot of people who was not here for when we did the
-
remnant project, okay? We always have two times of the
-
year. We give big, that's the victory
-
seed and that is the ground breaker seed which isn't
-
February, but the end of the year is an opportunity to.
-
So, a very generous seed because God has brought you through, he
-
has blessed you, we are ending the year with a seed saying God
-
thank you. And then in February that seed
-
is saying God I'm believing for this year and God has been
-
generous to a whole lot of people in here.
-
Absolutely. And so what we're doing is
-
taking those to see the opportunities to give really
-
generously Towards a goal. I will have final numbers for
-
you guys in the next week or so. Probably next Sunday.
-
But it's for these numbers that's coming in is not just to
-
get the thing built, its to furnish it.
-
It's to create this youth center and it's the finish off our
-
media center and the studio is looking.
-
So phenomenal over there. It's pretty dope.
-
And so plan and pray. A plan and pray God, what do you
-
want me to give on December 11th?
-
February is a specific. See that we asked for?
-
We'll deal with that when it's time but this seed were asking
-
we're going to put a number before you and then we're asking
-
you to use your power. Use your resources, use your
-
influence. Because let me tell you, it's
-
more blessed to give than it is to receive.
-
And we'll have scriptures will teach a little bit about giving
-
next weekend. Hopefully Still come next
-
weekend, but let me tell you some.
-
Jesus talked about giving more than he talks about heaven.
-
Go read your word, okay? Given is a part of the kingdom
-
system, okay? Sowing and reaping, and so
-
December 11th, and then their Christmas production.
-

-
then Sunday Christmas. Okay, we are having service and
-
we will do a mini version of the production, but the full
-

-
Christmas weekend and we're only going to have two experiences.
-
I want to finalize This. But I believe it's 12 p.m. for
-
those that do dinner with people in the evening.
-
And then it's going to be 6 p.m. who do more of their things in
-
the beginning. Let me tell you something.

-
so like this, something like that.
