Oct. 30 - Tis' the Season Part 1

What's going on? Love quest Nation.

Thank you for tuning into the Love quest podcast.

Get your Bibles ready. Get you know people get your

coffee and get some water whatever you need to do and get

ready to receive the time. Is right now, let's go.

They walked away as you left them and said man didn't our

hearts burn within as he opened the scriptures.

To us. Lord speak that our hearts may

burn. Today we are heading into a

season where many people experience depression and

anxiety. It's a very dark time and so

father we ask that you just illuminate some of us I would

say all of us would not everybody Want To Shine for you.

And that's the truth of the matter.

And so, father, those that are wanting to shine and ready to

shine, those that are ready to be an answer to people's

dilemma, those that are ready, ready to bring presence as some

are focused on presence and these Christmas holidays, Lord,

anoint us that we may walk boldly and courageous and not

faint in well-doing. We thank you, Father, for

building your church. Thank you for filling your

church in Jesus name. Amen.

Amen. You guys.

Good good. I'm good too.

I think I'm doing better than you Paul.

Some of y'all just took that way to his see some of y'all like.

Well that's good for you, okay? I want to start this new series

and probably take us. Don't put it up.

Probably take us. I don't even know if he did.

You guys download it. You guys should know it's going

to be word in any way. We are probably going to do this

for the rest of the year. Now they may be like a day or

two or whatever where there's a variance or something like that.

But for the most part, any anybody that has ever touched

this platform to speak, I would encourage you to take notes,

just in case you Called on for any reason at any point.

I think this is the most vital series or met.

Let me tell you any, every scripture in the Bible is vital.

But here's the thing, you can't really say every scripture is

vital because every scripture is not principles is not the word

of God. Not every scripture that's on

that page is the word of God. Some of it is the No Peter.

Some of it is how somebody felt some of it is jobs fear.

I say that because there's there's he highlights people's

lives and then he gives us the picture of their life.

To show us how he moved in their lives, as a means of Hope a

resource of Faith. But at this point, what are we

going to do? I would assume every believer in

here. Got some form of a Bible for

what? Write the Bible is the most

vital book you have in your phone and on your shelf.

All right, there is life in those 66 books.

But this message is the most important thing because it's the

only reason Jesus came. You only know what I'm going to

talk about, so you time. Alright man.

You know what? You know what?

I'm going to talk about, right, how that's good.

Pastor that's good. I ain't even said nothing.

It is the most important, it is the most vital.

It is what you're anointed for, but for me, I feel is it's, it's

a, it is a right on time right now what God is doing in our

lives, but in your regular day-to-day, man, if you want

success, No, I'm a change that if you want fulfillment, this

message is what is All About? You Want To Be A Millionaire?

This message is why you want to be a millionaire.

You want to spouse. This message is why you want a

spouse in a family. You want to travel the world.

This message is why, this is the why?

This is the why you guys say, this is the why he died for you.

This is this, is it and it's not talked about us as much in the

church. We don't charge the church no

more. We just teach you about Jesus

and we just leave it there and let you know how smart we are.

But if we was really smart, we would not just have Apostolic

nature, but we would have AB systolic function and there's a

lot of churches. As with Apostolic nature, but

not function. Okay?

And so, I was like, God, why am I?

Why am I so stuck on a title? So I had like all kinds of

titles but I don't know why I fell on this one.

It is what it is. It is what it is today.

We're just saying tis the season.

Okay. Tis the season, the arising and

arrival of sons and daughters. This is important because the

arising is speaking to The churches.

Awakening, Revival and responsibilities.

The arising. Is somebody saying here?

I am. Send Me.

I'll Go. The arising is selfishness, is

not taken a backseat is getting kicked out the car.

And you're saying, God, not my will, but your will be done.

There's an arising taking place but the arrival Because the

arising the risers are sons and daughters.

As well as the arrivals. Our sons and daughters and those

are the loss. Those are the unrighteous, those

are the ungodly, but let me help you.

There are ungodly righteous. Folks let me help you.

It's some folks in church that still need to get saved.

I'm not talking about you going to heaven.

I'm talking about you. Renewing Your Mind.

I'm talking about, you getting free from bondage.

I'm talking about, you getting rid of some of them, not some

all of those strongholds, I'm talking about.

You actually getting free. So tis the season.

For some of us tis the season to start focusing on what our

Christmas dinner is going to be and who we gotta shout for tis,

the season for all that. But this is a season where

people begin to miss family, they begin to a lot of stuff

comes up in this season. What I thought about this

season, it's funny because Summer feels good.

Follow me Summer feels good, but this season don't feel good, but

it is most beautiful kind of sounds like our lives.

And if we stop just focusing on what feels good and learn how to

enjoy life and its beauty when it's raining and not pull the

shades of our eyes and hide in this season and then just get

surrounded by Halves and like this season is the most the

greatest smells come out in this season, the food that's being

cooked, the trees, like, like, there's some sense that only

come out during this season and even if you do a cinnamon,

something in April, it don't smell the same.

You can cook a turkey in May but it just ain't the same in this

season. Is it something about this

season? Say this is season.

But this is the season for Love quest.

This is we are lining ourselves with the word that prophetic

word has been given us. Let me, let me dive in, and we

going to unravel this all day, our push for promise and

pleasure cannot steal our passion for people.

People always gonna be there. So, even when prep pleasure and

promise is not there, I still got something to be motivated

about because this is my why this what I got to say for What

you want to look fly for if you're not trying to reach

people for yourself, you're weird.

But you just want to look good to you.

You don't want to impact, no buddy.

You're not thinking about man. If I wear this right here, then

it going influence. Just kind of people.

Yes, some do. Because when you wear that low

low low that low shirt that ain't just for you or you really

weird. Right?

When you wear that tight, you know you don't saying when you

wear them certain you you hoping somebody look for you, look at

you, this is very important to understand because you're a soul

winner. It's just what you using for

bait. And your bait will determine

life or death, so you will be you will be held accountable for

what you put on the hook. Okay.

Our push for promise and pleasure cannot steal our

passion for people, the call, the commission, the command and

the charge its Kingdom, first and thy kingdom.

Come, please don't ask that Kingdom to come if you not going

to have that Kingdom first, There's no Kingdom coming.

No, will be dummy. What alcohol commission command

in charge? Like the kingdom has a purpose.

The Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness has a

purpose. It's only two, you can't make up

your own little kingdom. There's no lukewarm Kingdom.

There's no in-between Kingdom. There's no one foot in one foot

out Kingdom, there's a group of people one foot in one foot out.

There's a group of people that are, but there's only lighter is

life or death is blessing or curse is in or out is hot or

cold. It's I don't care how much you

try to do the middleweight. God, it never produces and it

only leads the Believers. Super frustrated.

And so was some people rather do instead of committing all the

way with God? They'll start questioning.

I don't even know if I stay if I really believe Now I much rather

kind of believe and keep pressing toward the mark, then

the totally walk away because I'm too lazy to believe.

Malachi for behold. I will send you Elijah the

prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.

He wasn't talking about raising Elijah from the dead.

He don't need to do that. Come out.

The spirit of Elijah. The anointing of Elijah.

The voice of Elijah. The of Elijah. and he shall turn

and reconcile the hearts of the estranged father's to the

ungodly children and the hearts of the rebellious children to

the piety of their fathers, a Reconciliation produced by

repentance of the ungodly, lest I come and smite the land with a

curse and ban of utter destruction Stop praying for

your city. If you are not going to be a

witness, The church. Contributes to the hell going

on. In our city, a lack of activity

is activation. All right, so turn and

reconcile. First of all, I want to do.

I want you to see the placement in the word is the last

scripture, is the last scripture of what.

Malachi some say the Old Testament I would say it's not

the last scripture of Old Testament because the Old

Testament is not over until Jesus dies, right?

Know has broken up that way and his Covenant.

But what was he finished from? What did he come to fulfill the

words of the prophets? Like like it's very important to

see it that way. Because this after this

scripture, there was just nothing.

Nothing. How, how would you like to live

where there's no church, no God moving?

How would you like that? As hard as it is for you to

serve. God, how would you like it?

If it was none, you don't have nobody praying for you.

How would you like that? So so here's one of the lab,

this is the most, this is so important that God speaks and

tells the Earth and tells his people, this and then silence.

And then we here John the Baptist and when God speaks what

is he say? Repent.

Man. Oh yeah.

Reconciliation produced by repentance, we can go on.

How can they hear without a preacher?

That's why we need some good old uncompromising conviction

passionate preaching. Like, Revival Preacher Man, we

we so stuck. We did this Movement.

We, we have to be careful to see when God is restoring offices.

We don't park there so and and we don't grow ego.

So when God is restoring the office of teacher, So as people

not walking around here ignorant then Pride grows.

So you have this movement of teachers So we hire teachers, we

hire pastors, and then we stopped there, but like you

leaving the church hanging, if that's what you going to grow

churches with teachers. Don't plant churches, they can,

but Apostles plant, churches, Pastors Pastor churches, not

saying a pastor doesn't have an Apostolic.

Give not saying any of that. But what I'm saying is the

church is being called back to its fullness.

And God don't care. Nothing about how smart you are,

and what it? What the other theological

School you went to. Because here's the thing, I

asked a very smart man, probably one of the most popular Pastors

in Canada and we met and I remember asking him a simple

question, is it, anybody that looked like me on your

bookshelf? So a lot of your theology is

built around teachers that look like you came from where you

have didn't have the same economic issues and there's a

and and was on the other side of racism.

On the other side of prejudice. So then it's easy to look across

to another country, another man, another preacher and say.

They shouldn't be preaching that but you didn't have the same

issues. You your kids stomach and

growling of hunger. So how God prescribes the gospel

to your community, might be different than my community, and

that's what makes him God. Because he's fathered at every

situation, he's father to everybody.

So then ego Rises up and we just crowd ourselves in circles and

denominations and networks. And we ostracised groups of

people and we're say were called to be the Church of this nation

but hey, baby. This nation is 99% Globe but you

got 99. So if you to church for the

nation, it should be a whole lot more diverse than what it looks

like. It's so when God is trying to

restore something we can't be so egotistical prideful that we

only are attracted or gather to people that look like a sound

like us have our same context and then we condemn in her

question and ears go up and tell start waggling when it don't

sound like what we was raised on, you go look at my bookshelf

I got all kinds of people. No, I ain't just got a TD Jakes,

how Smith Wigglesworth or Robert?

We can go Kenneth Hagin. We can keep going.

It's right. You keep going but I do know

that the people that look like me or are the most and some of

the most forgiving people because you can't come out of

slavery without being forgiving. Right.

And not just people look like me with people of color minorities

immigrants Refuge, we have to forgive because we gotta put

down our ego if we go make it so they ain't too many people.

God can trust with a All Nations, Revival.

Because it takes a type of people in person to understand

the Immigrant understand, the refugee, understand the real

struggle. And if that's not true, why did

Jesus come the way he did? Why did he chose that round?

Because he had the other option, he had the White Rock option.

He took the East Hastings option.

Okay, amen. It reconciliation produced by

repentance and I'm not just talking about repentance from.

Oh God I left the church. I'm talking about repentance

from unforgiveness, repentance from racism, repentance from

Prejudice, repentance from from murmuring repent.

Turn the ungodly and they're say folks righteous folks with

ungodly ways and we're all being called to repent.

And guess what you ready? You're also being called to

repent for how you think. You think I'll do you think

that's no no. What why did he say?

Renew your mind. What is renew mean?

Turn? It doesn't matter if you think

the way you think and nobody knows how you think.

God knows, how you think repentance is between you and

God. So you can say, well I'm going

to say that to pasture. T aren't going to say that to

that person. Cool don't say it but you better

figure out between you and God you better turn from that way of

thinking. And so is happening Church, Luke

1, let's go further into the to follow this passage for.

He will be, he will be great and distinguished in the sight of

the Lord, right? Speak in the John's father.

As he is, this Angel is requesting.

His father, to name him, John. And he's telling them how great

he going to be and he said, and he must drink, no, wine or

strong. Drink Paul's just for a second.

I tell people you're gonna go to heaven.

If you drinks, I'm getting a fan.

If you want to drink, go ahead, you're gonna get to heaven, but

there some people, these are the scriptures.

I look for, I didn't look for the skirt.

Some, some people in here, look for the scriptures that support

you drinking. So you like, Jesus turned water

into wine, stop using out of context.

And well, it's not wrong with drink, you right?

Nothing wrong with drinking, right?

Well, he said don't get drunk. Okay, well, drunk to you or

drunk, according to the police or drunk.

According Stop. Okay.

And and, and so what I tell people all the time.

Look, look, you gonna go to heaven?

I'll see you there. We going to turn up.

But here's the thing, I look for these scriptures because they

look like wherever he told people to abstain from something

or sustained from something. He had a great call.

So I want the call more than I want the drink.

And there's some people that that's that are called to stay

away from because of calling. And so what I had to understand

is that my calling in my conviction cannot turn into

Doctrine. But I do share it as a testimony

because how can I lead someone right?

I said it last week that you can't deliver.

You can't have anointing for something that you're

entertained by. So, I'm gonna have to pass you

down the line to the Deacon that don't drink and hopefully he the

Deacon that Bray. All right, I'm not here to talk

about that, but kind of am cuz it's also with him, he will be

filled with in control by the Holy Spirit, even in and from

the mother's womb, and he will turn back and calls to return

many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God, and he will

himself go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to

turn back the hearts of the father.

So in Malachi 4 6. Yes, I Want to get before I go

forward, I want to make sure this is clear.

Yes, the prophetic word was speaking about the spirit of

Elijah coming up on John, working through him as well as

we can also Trace how this Same Spirit Works in Jesus and his

church, okay? To turn back, the hearts of the

father's to the children and the disobedient and incredulous and

unpersuadable. This is this, this is this takes

anointing. The anointing to turn the hearts

of the unpersuadable. That's what I want.

That's it. I don't, I don't want to be

deterred from nobody. I don't care how tough you think

it is. I don't care if you sit in these

pews with your little stank, muggy face, who cares.

But you can only resist the anointing for so long.

Right? And not everybody is Anointed

for everybody, right? You you called to certain

people, you called to certain lakes, ponds oceans.

We gonna get into this throughout this year.

We don't get into this, you know, everybody called the same

type of fish. There's different kinds of kind

of fishing, right? There's different types of fish,

right? Some ain't called to

deep-seated, you ain't Deadliest Catch, that's not you.

Right. Wicked Tuna.

That's that's not you right? You might some people need more

controls. So you go to the creek and you

put your big tall boots on and you just go out there and some

people lazy, you just go out on you like a little boat sit out

there where it wears, no, no rocking water and you can chill

all day. Right, sip your wine, you get

you can do, you know I'm saying? But you see when you called out

there being intoxicated can cause somebody's life.

I understand I'm called to deep sea fishing.

I'm called two big fish. It wasn't always that way.

But I was Faithful over the little ones, right?

John, the Baptist was called to Big Fish.

How do I know that? Because Jesus said, you got to

baptize me. Wow.

Yeah, if you going to baptize Jesus you're going to have to be

scraped, all right? To the wisdom, the upright which

is the knowledge and holy love of the will of God in order to

make ready. This is why it's all happening

to get the bride. Ready to get the bride ready.

This is, oh my God. How many we got some married

folks in here? Kind of married on the way in on

the way out? I don't, whatever.

Whatever you is. Listen, listen, listen, do you

know the Ability that we have. Now, if you ever prepared to get

married on your wedding day, as a wife, let the makeup artist.

Let the hair stylist. Let any part of getting you

ready. Not show up.

I want you guys to understand the weight and responsibility.

You have a Spam it, you have your life to do your part and

getting the bride, ready? And you will be held responsible

when you see King Jesus, what was your part?

Did you do your part? Did you bury your gifts?

And talents? Did you pray?

Did you come to Claire? Did you visit the sick?

Did you what did Did you fight? Did you fight for righteousness?

Did what did you do? What God asked you to do in your

lifetime? Or were you consumed by money

and career and work and, and lust?

What did you do with your breath?

You have a responsibility in your realm of influence to get

the bride ready. The only reason you're anointed

is to get the bride ready. If you're not going to get the

bride ready, have fun in your own effort.

Because the spirit of the Lord does not need to come upon you

to go to work to look cute to get cars to get houses.

You don't need God, you just need work.

You just need a job. You don't need God, you need

job. That's easy to do, apply for a

job. Go to school.

Do what you got to do but do not cry for anointing.

If you are not going to get the bride ready, I got my I got my

hair stylist certificate. What's up, what's up, what's up?

What's a top-notch, hair, school?

Huh. Sassoon got my hair stylist

certificate for us assume. I'm like, well why you stopped

doing here? So soon.

He's being he's been two years, two years, three years.

You stop so soon. Why you gonna say, why are you

why are you stopping? You did all that work, you did

all that school and you just got discouraged or whatever happened

and you just like I think I want to change up my career, that's

fine. But then you asking God to help

you with a new career and you never even moved a knob on the

whole career. T when you understand that their

souls connected to your platform, then you won't give up

on your job, so easy because souls are connected to it.

It ain't about your pocketbook, if you are a sole winner, God

provides in the most radical ways for soul winners.

He's committed to a soul winner in a whole different way.

All right for the Lord a people perfectly prepared perfectly

prepared. All these Christians talking

about, I can't wait till Jesus come back.

No you can't wait till Jesus come back because he ain't

coming back until the bride is prepared.

So if you want Jesus to hurry up and come back, you better enter

into ministry right now. Crazy world.

He's like, I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you.

You were just gonna tell people, we doing the illustration for

the king tide. That's why the water came in.

So part of the illustration is like an exhibit at the fair some

week. Hey, we had them black tense

right now will be done. Amen.

In spirit adjusted disposed and placed in the right moral state.

We are to help people find their way back home.

This is more important. To a prepared place.

I need you to understand this, love quest because I'm saying

this because we have prepared a place by the strength of God.

You endured a pandemic. I don't think we celebrate that

too much but we came on the other side of a pandemic.

With three buildings. We came on the other side of the

pandemic with our dang, folks. We come on other side of the

building with double. The number of people, we we came

out our pandemic was our greatest giving time in our

history that we came out of a pandemic, driving thriving,

riving driving. And so, you just can't, you

can't just, you can't just come through a pandemic, you can't

just come through. That was meant to kill you and

then come out on the other side and be the same.

Now, John 14, I gotta hurry up, don't worry your surrender to

your fear for you believed. I didn't exist for a prepared

place. This is why we do we do.

This is why we went and got the tent yesterday, that's why you

giving so we can make moves like that.

Why is that important? Because we need something that

can weather the storm because we for sure will lose Harvest if

they come and water splash on a wee.

Right. Here's the other part Elder.

John. The Bible says to expand your

tent pegs. He said, you prepare for what

you believe in for. So we didn't just get a tent for

toughness. We gave a got a tent for

expansion. Well why you get a tent and you

about to get your building? What we at least four to five

months away from getting in there?

We're not going to be ghetto. We didn't come this far to be

ghetto like we not going in that building to the city sign off on

everything. Every detail is complete.

It's so weird. Yeah.

We're that close to a building permit but then we're close to

the holidays and project and looking forward as a leader.

Now, we got to prepare to be in this space for the next four to

five months. I think.

Minimum can we rush him? Can we push him?

Yeah, we can. But that's not how you prepare.

We prepare to go next door but the way he worked out the tent

it was so much favor. It went on man, I don't got time

to testify. I'm on the 10th board.

I'm telling you, is your church is preparing for expansion.

We're not waiting for building to expand.

If we got to get another 20 by 20 and we got to get another 20

by 20, we gonna get a 20 by 20 20 by 20.

If they cover up this block, we gonna be the new tent city.

Got too many fragile leaders. We was what you gonna post

today. Well, it's raining and we got to

know. We going to be open for those

that's hungry and thirsty. Just like the liquor store is me

my hood. It won't be nobody at the liquor

store all night, but they open for that one.

Alcoholic that come in the middle of the night.

They open for that one person come in for that Swisher Sweets

and pop it open and put some weed in it.

That's called a blind. How are you all sophisticated

Canadians only do pipes in apples.

I smoked out a Honeycrisp. He says my father's house.

Look what he says. He says, now trust him believe

in me. Also my father's house has many

Dwelling Places. I was taught this scripture and

I'm like, I'm not going to have time to really unfold it.

But this always preached at funerals.

You going home to see the Lord. He got many places for you to

be. Now, I haven't got many, haven't

got many places, it's like, many plays, they haven't got many,

many places. It's not just one spot where God

is, it's not just eternity is like many eternity'.

Just like one place these many play, many Dwelling Places.

If it were, otherwise, I would tell you plainly because I go to

prepare a place for you. I go to prepare a place for you,

so it does sound like he going up in the sky to prepare a place

for me. I'm the hang out up in the sky.

I would love to see how that room look.

He says, then when everything is ready, when everything is ready.

So he says, I'm going to prepare a place and then there's going

to come a time when everything's ready.

Then when everything's ready. I'm coming back.

So it don't sound like he's saying the room when the room.

You can take it that way, but here's my Rebel, a mom.

What, what? What?

He's sharing with me, right? He can go prepare a place to me

like, okay, like, like, like Airbnb is a time you can.

Check in. So I guess when the Airbnb ready

in heaven we could check in or when everything is ready,

meaning when his church, What did he say when his church is

ready, more than the rooms in the sky and know it's going to

be goals dreams and all that stuff but but I'm not what I'm

saying. A mummy my vision of my God is

just it's just big. It's like we put borders, you

take the borders up in the world.

Override of the world is just one big old world.

What would be going on Earth? I'm trying to break some

religious mindsets to think that this a funeral scripture.

He said I'll come back and take you to myself so that you will

be where I am. So the goal is to be where he is

and you already know the way to the place where I'm going.

Let's keep reading. Look.

Look look It's what he's here. He says son, many Dwelling

Places. I like him.

Those two local churches. Because I remember him saying to

the disciples. Hey, I got to go then I'm about

to come be back with you. I remember him saying things

like, hold on, let me read this and I'll get to you.

We are to help people find their way back home.

Okay? And then he says everything is

good in Genesis, he said everything is good, it is

finished, it's done. So okay, he going to come back

in John, 14 and say o hoola. We still got some stuff to fix.

We still we still got to build some stuff in Genesee says.

Everything is good. And then he says, I'll build my

church. Then I find in John 14, he said

I'm going to prepare a place but he can start building his church

until he died and Rose and then his holy spirit dwelt in us

because he said stay right here and when the Holy Ghost come up

and come come upon you, you will receive power to be my Witnesses

and go do what build the church. And from there, we see churches

being planted. Now, thousands of years,

churches are being planted, many dwelling, In places, my father's

everywhere, all over the Earth. Why is my father everywhere?

Why am I building my church? Why do I have Dwelling Places?

Because the goal is, before I return, I need the entire world.

The entire Earth to hear the gospel, but they can't hear the

gospel until the church actually go.

And do you know, no matter how much you think a person is a

sinner if you've been sent to them, to share the gospel that

you are a part of To help you will be held accountable for not

sharing the gospel with them. You can look at them.

Oh my God. What a life looks Soto up

because you ain't hear the gospel.

It can't start cracking and turning into a seed is planet.

How dare ask is saved in somebody plant a seed of the

Gospel in us and we shut our mouths.

Once we get saved, Lord forgive us for being so busy.

That we walk by people on their way to hell every day and do not

care. One, bit.

All we want to do is finish our work and run home and get in the

house and shut the blinds. What Forgive us for complaining.

when you saved us before, while we were yet, sinners you died

for us. And we complaining about sharing

the good news, it's like somebody's snatching you out

from being homeless. And then somebody one day coming

to ask you for a piece of bread, you like, go get your own, you

found food. Now, you don't want to share

food. You found life and now you don't

want to share life or you pick and choose when you want to do

it. All of our Lives should be laid

down for Jesus Christ, because he laid down his life for all of

ours. We must captivate, we must

compel and we must construct. That's what this entire series

is about captivating. Compelling and constructing

preparing captivating, lives compelling lives and

constructing spaces. Constructing study in the show

ourselves approved constructing, something that can deliver, you

know, you know, one thing I'm a sucker for when it comes to

consumerism, I'm a sucker for Packaging.

I'll try something just because it's a cool package.

It don't got anybody. Anybody anybody right?

And then I'm like, if I'm going to pay all that money, you

better put it in a nice package, then I'm going to open, and then

it's another package. And then it's like some little

treats, some stickers, like I won't stickers, I want

everything right, all of that. Like there's a nice little Nike

Nike Air Force, and it comes with a nice little brush.

That's culture do, that's culture, you do, you know some

people don't. They just get the Air Force's

dirty and don't want to wipe nog.

They baby wipes and all that right there.

There's, I appreciate that toothbrush.

I don't even use it, but I appreciate that brush.

Right is details. What does that matter?

How do you prepare? You, I know you prepare yourself

to look cute for a date, but how do you prepare yourself to win a

soul? I know you try to look sexy to

turn somebody on and get looks. But how are you, how might that

impact that's old. Are you bait or you a snare?

Right. You called to be a net.

Not a snare. You can know a net is a type of

snare but there's a difference. Right.

Which for which woman are you in the, in the Bible?

In the, in the, in the, in the Book of Proverbs?

You do virtual is one, are you the one that?

Lead that person. With the slick tongue, slick

libsyn, lead that person and vice versa.

Right. What do you think you got a

healthy body for? Hey, I hate to break it down the

simplest form, but you are blessed and healthy and highly

favored. So, The he can draw all men unto

you through through. He will live in you.

He looks you. Look good.

Just shining. Why are you saying rise and

shine? The glory?

The Lord's up on you? Right?

You healthy, you look good. You vibrant you you got nice

things you you got a nice family you man, you intelligent.

You got all of that for what? To use to get more.

What really that's all you worth is more stuff.

That's all you wake up every day for stuff really stop.

Stuff that has no life without you.

Using it self that when you die it ain't going with, you know?

Where it ain't got when Jesus come back.

He ain't going to be like man get your closet.

Come on to bring your closet to none of that stuff.

We're going on here. Proverbs 11, the fruit of the

uncompromisingly. Righteous is a tree of life, the

fruit of the uncompromisingly righteous.

Why is it the fruit of the uncompromisingly righteous

because the compromising has fruit as well, but the

uncompromisingly righteous fruit does not confuse people.

It is not a snare to people because the if I was fruitful

But I had a little little side little situation, I didn't give

permission to someone. That really don't want to fool

with God, but they like, but man, if I could do that, if I

can fool around with side chicks, if I could smoke and do

that, if I could still do that right there and man, that's a

cool God right there. Yeah, the fruits of the

uncompromisingly. Righteous is a tree.

It's not a piece of fruit, it's a tree of life and he who is

wise, Captures human lives for God as a fisher of men, he

gathers and receives them for eternity.

Now this ain't going to be like the like the like the super fun

message for some people because this this means responsibility.

Right. I want you to see he's wise.

I have somebody text me another day was like man, I got some

Revelation on this. I was like man, that's really

good because one side of it is that it takes wisdom to win

souls because it takes strategy, it takes timing, it takes some

emotional intelligence, but by the time that fish stop flapping

in your life. If you stick with it, you going

to grow wisdom and you're not just called to win the fish.

Immediately jump in your boat. You also call to wrestle with

some fish. It's worth the rest.

So you get a Wicked Tuna in your boat.

It's worth the wrestle it right. For some people, clearly is

worth the storm to go get some king crab, some storm.

Some flapping is worth it. And some flapping is meant to

throw it back in the sea. What you got in your boat, you

should have been through back in the sea.

All right, he says captures though.

Here we go. How do you capture a life?

It's like you capture a picture. What is a photographer looking

for when they capture in a picture?

What are you looking for? You looking for in motion, you

looking for moments? And in so you create moments,

right? If I'm stirred up or I'm doing

something, you'll see, maybe him stand up because you like, oh I

might need to catch something right now and I need to see this

is your life. Something that causes people to

be like I need to zoom in on them right now.

Hey where you get that, where you see, this is what you

understand? You think everything's fair, you

think everybody, but the Bible, even tell you not every day, not

they don't understand the carnal, don't understand the

spiritual. I was just talking to worship

team about that. The carnal don't understand the

spiritual. So this is why we practice.

Practice for skill not just singing the song because there's

certain things that they do that.

Make a carnal person. Say oh oh I got see.

God will use Goosebumps Goosebumps can be indicators for

a season, but to the carnal person, they need to hear that

little run. They need to be wild and nude,

but religion told us to shut up. You don't, you're ministering,

you're not performing. Oh, so we get performance to the

world, where, where the world getting from Lucifer, where

Lucifer get it from. Don't forget where he started.

So we just give everything to the devil.

Partying. Don't party.

No more. What are you talking about part?

Who if anybody should party, is should be us.

Anybody should celebrate. It should be us how we given

hell. All the cool stuff.

No, wonder the world, I want to fool with us because he'll got

all the toys they got all the fun.

They got all the restaurants they got all They got

everything, they got the best sound, they got the best shows,

and we up in here just being dry and and and and you know what

I'm saying? And then anybody that's coming

with some flavor, get persecuted.

So we didn't train generations of just dryness and we wondering

why we got a world that is so lost and going down the hill so

fast and I'm not talking about a world.

Let me shrink this down. I'm tomorrow young people that

don't get on your heart. If that only, if that'll make

you want to give in to a church that is going to care about the

young people. If that if that if that if that

does not get to you to walk by and see somebody son and

daughter, Shooting up heroin. If that don't get to you, He

said, captures lives some be intentional with high dress.

Maybe somebody come in here, they don't know home.

Like the suit Jack. I'm not a suit jacket cat.

When you like, oh, but I like the socks, do I like the socks?

Do you like I'm not a soccer or shagging?

Were all kind of like the Jack. I like, I like the, I like the

glasses. I like the glasses, I like the

glasses and then some people religious folks your mind and be

like, oh my God, he just entered a sell for they just carnal

really. Okay.

If that's what you call it. So just tell ya like so we just

gave fashion to hell too, huh? Right.

But then when I look at David, look at it, look at Joseph

jacket. Like right love, like we talking

people were royalty, we like royalty.

Don't look. They got Jordans on 88 years of

carnal Church. Statehood.

They just know, but that's a young Church.

Nope, so the moment you experience, Joy, you give that

to young people, but if you really get look back, we got we

got people that's over 50 over 60, we got a 92.

You we over 70? So now Joy has become Young.

Not heaven. We going.

That's why we got three services.

We got a lot of work. We got a lot of work.

Here you go. Let me stop right now.

Let me stop right now. Just if your hands right where

you are. Say Lord.

God used me to capture lives. I want to be used by you, so

give me wisdom. May I be moved by your spirit.

May I be led by your spirit, fill my heart with love.

That I may represent the love of the father Lord.

However you want to change me. However you want to use me

whenever you want to use me. However you want to use me here.

I am. You've delivered me from

Darkness. Here, I am.

You've healed me from sickness here.

I am. You've restored my dancing here.

I am you've restored my joy. Here I am.

You snatched me out of the pit of Hell.

Here I am, I was blind. Now I see Here.

I Am Lord, I'm all yours, Lord, I am yours.

I am yours, use me to be lighted.

My city to be a lion, my family to be collected using a job, use

me at the grocery store, use me at the gate.

Station Lord, you can use to me. Come on, say Here, I Am bless

you. We honor you and we thank you.

That tis, the season to be so winners.

Tis the season that the Harvest is here, it's not coming.

It is here. It's only coming because it's a

long line but it's here. Lord feel your temple.

Lord God lord, may we not be a spoiled people.

There's people traveling through mud and storms to go to

Crusades. There's people sitting in

tumultuous weather just to hear the gospel because there's a

thirst or hunger. Lord May there be a thirst and

hunger that arises in this place.

Lord God and may we prepare a place by yourself?

Spirit, not by might, nor by power, but by your spirit,

prepare a place for those that are hungry and thirsty for

righteousness to be filled. In Jesus name, thank you Father.

That we are a church that seek your kingdom first and we

believe and we know like son's that you will add all these

things to us or send to us. Men and women who are skillful

with their left hand and their right hand who are skilled for

and ready to go. Lord God.

Not thank you for planting us in a specific part of a city.

That people have an old perspective of but Lord, I Thank

you that we as Love quest is a part of something new that

you're doing in this city. What used to be the old wildly

and drug-infested in crime. And one of the most dangerous

places, Lord, I Thank you that you are changing names.

You are changing Bloodlines. You are changing perspectives.

You are doing a new thing. Bless your name.

Lord, God! We bless your name!

We bless your name. We bless your name.

We bless your name. Say, hallelujah.

Thank you Jesus. Amen.

Amen, you can be seated just for one second.

Actually stand to your feet Stand TV.

So nice little Squad. Nice little squat.

Nice little squat. What you doing?

He's like use me, use me, bastardy was you know come on up

here man, I was so good. October is Pastor appreciation

month? And I don't know about you but I

believe that we have some phenomenal Pastors in this

house. Not our words, appreciating be

give a big round of applause to pass his parents and pastors

Julia. Their faithfulness and leading

Us in the Bible. We read about a conversation

that Jesus has with Peter. Jesus asked Peter, Peter, do you

love me three times and every time, Peter said, yes, Lord, I

love you. He responded by saying, then

feed my sheep, take care of my sheep.

Jesus often referred to his followers as sheep.

And the thing about sheep is that they are notorious

creatures of habit. Left to themselves.

They will stay on the same Trail until it becomes a rut.

They will stay grazing the same pastures and tell their desert

wastelands polluted with disease and they will stay there, which

is unhealthy for the Sheep, right.

But God loves us so much that he sent us Shepherds to guide us

and lead us on to greener pastures to feed us that we can

grow and mature. In the things of God, right?

Proverbs 29 says this in the TPT, if we can pull it up on the

screen real quick. It says when there is no clear

prophetic Vision, say Vision, people quickly wander astray,

but when you follow the Revelation, say, revelation of

the word, Heavens Bliss, fills your soul.

And so we've been blessed with pastors that are full of God.

Pastors that not only share us the word fetus the word, but

share revelation of the word. They enable us to see ourselves

in God's word so that we can walk with great faith, further

into the things of God. So that Heavens Bliss can fill

our soul. And so we just want to honor

God. And our pastors who Faithfully

serve us, who Faithfully serve God, who Faithfully put Vision

before us, we are standing in Vision that God first came to

our Pastors. You not only blessed us with one

to three buildings, but he also blesses us with tents so that we

can gather together and sit under the revelation of God's

word. So, if we just give a big round

of applause to our pastors, as a, thank you, You guys, if you

have been blessed by the leading of our pastors is an opportunity

for you to sow into them, to be a blessing to them financially,

this will be a gift separate from your tithes and offerings.

If you feel so moved to do that, you can do.

So by E, transferring love quest.

Am I at gmail.com? If you all could just extend

your hand to Pastor tea and Pastor Julia who's joining by

stream Pastor Danielle is just going to pray a blessing over

them. Yes.

But before we do that, I just have your attention turn to the

screen, please. Amen.

Go ahead, pray. Yes.

So you get the gist we love you. That's rotarians.

Amen. Hallelujah.

We thank you for grace and mercy Lord.

Father we thank you for a family that is in full surrender to

you. We thank you Lord.

That as Pastor said in the beginning that you highlight

certain people in the Bible that that you've brought to us to

model Our Lives after that that is exactly who Pastor Terrence

Pastor Julie and the Richmond family is for us.

We thank you Father that there is an anointing.

On their life specific for the move that you are needing to do

in this city in this dispensation of time.

And we thank you Father, that you brought them that you carry

them from California to us for this moment.

We thank you Father, that every time that they pour out, you

increase and refreshing on them, we thank you, Lord.

That the entire Richmond household will be blessed beyond

measure. Yes, blessed in.

They're coming blessed in. They're Going for a thousand

generations to come. We thank you, God, that, as they

continue to fix their eyes on you, that all the things that

their heart desires, even the secret petitions that they have.

Not yet made know Lord, that you just continue to add it to them.

Continue to add it to the. We thank you.

Lord, specifically from Malia from Malachi and Micah that they

have allowed us to be blessed with pastors that are fully for

us, not just on, Sundays and not just on Wednesdays but all days

of the week that they constantly allow us to take time away from

their family so that we could be edified so that we could be that

our Salvation can continue to be walked out and that we can

continue to be more christ-like. And so we thank you, Lord for

the anointing on their life that that it increases for the

unpersuadable for the unpersuadable, Lord.

Use them in a mighty way. Thank you for this in Jesus.

Precious name. Thank you more big round of

applause. Awesome, I appreciate it.

I appreciated that one of the keys and I'm jumping way ahead

but one of the one of the blessings of Soul winning is the

Gratitude. You get back from people whose

lives you impacted. There's crowns in heaven for

soul, winning biblical, we talking Bible and there's great

benefits for pouring your life out to others and I'm forever

grateful for those that may be asking man every single service

they've been people have been asking to so well for one in

there talking to people who have already saw but there is not

about you. There's other people who here

for the The first time there's other people who didn't have a

chance to. So right for those that have

sewn into our lives, whatever it may have been, whatever form.

We my wife and I say thank you for the encouragement, it

encourages us when people so into us and appreciate us,

right? Because believe it or not,

there's people who don't appreciate you laying your life

down here. It's just critics, right?

And so, those that do take the time to say, thank you, and

appreciate us. Man.

We are so So grateful because you helped us keep standing and

keep going and you're the reason why we do it and so thank you so

much. Can we make some noise for them?

Yeah. Also, really quickly.

I would encourage you to come to Wednesday nights.

If this is your church, come to Wednesday nights, at least a

couple times a month. It's worth it.

You can bring it down. It's worth it, right?

If if a doctor prescribes you medication, you don't just take

one one a day. You take it every day.

Multiple times a day. You go to the gym.

You not getting fit going once a week.

All right. Learn how to invest in your soul

and if If you say this is your church on my be careful with

people saying it's your church home because when something is

your home, you adjust to the rhythm of home and so you can

make it, you can make it and I'm not begging you.

I'm just extending you an opportunity because what I'm

telling you is you can save yourself, counseling sessions,

when God's called you to a house, I'll leave you with this

when he's called you to a house, he's considered all your

troubles and his goal was not that you burn out the leaders So

that's why any, when you find a house where they seek the Lord,

on your behalf on Sunday and Wednesday, trust me, you get all

the medicine that you need for that week, but it's your job to

prescribe, right? The, the pharmacy gives you the

medication. They don't give you the water to

drink with the medication. So, you steal and they don't

give you the meal to eat with the medication.

You still got a drink and you still got to eat, is our job to

give you the medication. It's the gospel you need to be

here because it is word and what is happening on Sunday on

Wednesday, they support each other and so we don't talk about

the same thing on Wednesday, okay?

But do not miss what God is doing in your church, okay?

And then we have baby dedication.

Nation today at 12:30, amen. And then we got a real good win

the other night on Friday night at round ball.

I would encourage you, man. Come out to again.

We got three more games than this playoff season, and then we

trying to get to the championship, so we need your

support. And I cannot tell you testimony

after testimony people saying, man?

Wow, if this is your church, I would love to go to church

again, like people's lives are being so impacted by you guys

coming and dressed in all black and cheering.

It showing love, they love playing.

Of quest. All right?

And so make that happen in the next Sunday's gospel, Sunday

will have our full choir out and we're excited about it.

Father we thank you for all that you're doing.

We thank you for every Giver Lord God, rather their sewing in

for pastors appreciation where there's sowing into the vision

of Love quests or we just thank you for every Giver today.

Lord. We thank you that we have

generous givers people that are generous, you don't have to beg

them. You have to pump them and Prime

and Lord. We thank you for generosity in

this house. And we thank you.

There is not anything that we need for the vision that will

not be provided for. So Lord, we trust in you with

all our heart, all our mind, all our soul, and we thank you for

the rest of this day. Lord, we thank you that you feel

your house in Jesus name go. Remove any obstacles out of

people's lives. Lord God, I thank you.

Now Lord, you are opening up the highways and the byways so that

people can get to your house, be healed, set free, and delivered.

In Jesus name, strengthen our team for the long run and we I

bless you all the Days of Our Lives.
