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. Father, in the name of Jesus, we

thank you for another opportunity to draw close to you

to advance the kingdom. To receive Clarity to receive

strength. Thank you for Faith being in the

room. I thank you no matter what

Measure of Faith. I walked in with it will leave

increased. I will not leave with the same

measure of Hope with the same measure of faith.

I will leave upgraded in Jesus name.

Amen. You know, so of some upgrades

cannot take place. Unless is connected to a

charger. All right, what y'all waiting

for? You all waiting for I'm

preaching right now. Right now.

Can we go to the farm first time?

Attendees one time? All right I have so much to talk

about but welcome back. Welcome back some of y'all that

threw you off cause you like out and go nowhere but I tell that

to everybody. Welcome back.

We missed you guys and right? Thank you.

I heard you say I miss you too. I received that.

Amen. We miss you guys.

I want to say thank you to every single person that helped keep

this church going while we were gone.

That's where Kim to like one person clap.

For all those people think, I think sometime, we're spoiled

because there's so many churches, thousands of churches,

falling apart, because of lack of leadership.

Because Wrong Foundation or what can happen is, the people that

have been entrusted with the Spiritual Authority to keep a

place. They have not imparted it to

others. So when they gone, it's like

when Mom and Daddy gone, the house is a little crazier what

the true test for me of my leadership pass.

After Julia's leadership and the anointing on our lives is that

when we're not around, how are things?

All right? And so for me, I'm very proud.

I remember the days where we was able to like we going to go out

of town and we do not do church for the next two weeks.

I remember in those days where the church wasn't quite stable.

And we could take a couple weeks off.

This is right before we really kind of locked into like, oh, we

for real for real church house while back now, we're getting to

the to the place where we don't even know everybody.

That's where you like a man because that means growth right

like growth right. But we're going to do things to

do our best to make sure there's not one person that called

themselves. Called love quest District their

Church home. A tweeted me and my wife don't

know you We may not go out to eat with you mean that that

that's not the point but if this is your church home and we've

been giving the the empowerment to to lead, we never want to get

so big. We don't know people.

That will not happen. We have stretched strategy that

God has given us to make sure that doesn't happen.

And when the time is, right, we'll, you'll see it.

I have so much to talk about because over the last two and a

half weeks as my wife, and I were gone.

So many historical things, Monumental moments happen in our

lives. Spiritually specifically.

And I don't really have time to talk about it, but I do have

time to impart it. And so as I told this morning

service I am begging you without begging.

You To come back at 5:30, if you got to leave now to make it for

5:30 leave. Now, there is something going to

happen tonight. There will be an anointing

portion and for those that never have been a part of a church

that actually like follow the Bible in ways like the anointing

or anointing services with oil, nothing, goofy, nothing crazy,

but biblical, there is a great harvest that is being Least in

the land. And there's no way to Stewart

what God is about to do, without being activated equipped and

anointed for it empowered for it.

No way to do it. And so, tonight is for those

that, that are like God used me wherever I go, so they'll be

some teaching and then they'll be some worship in a time where

we impart. But if you're streaming, I'm

asking you get here tonight because tonight is Is going to

make very clear, what God is saying, what God is doing, and

what he's requiring of us tonight, is more about a charge

to go, and be a said, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with

power. And with the Holy Ghost and he

went and did good. So if Jesus had to be anointed

to do what he had to do then, who were you Jesus have to be

baptized by oh man. Jesus pray, Jesus fasted.

And so I am going to do my best to articulate.

Something that I feel like like God is really just kind of

poking at he really is trying to get us ready for this Harvest.

Really, really trying to get us ready and get his church ready.

I was telling somebody in the back, just now if the church

does not learn how to be to get a for-profit muscle.

Then these last days, we will crumble.

Business is a part of the church, although the church is

not a business as of the world, but we better learn how to

become more entrepreneurial as a church body.

Okay. Do you see downtown at the other

words? The Anglican Church Catholic

Church. I'm not sure which one it is but

you see it's right next to the hospital off of barraged by over

our Bridge Baptist Church right there.

Been there forever. But they were there doing a

whole lot of remodeling. What they're doing is they're

remodeling the church and on top of it.

Condos what developers are doing is they're trying to create one

stop shops. So in a condo they'll have a

church, a school, the gym grocery store low All right,

this is where we're going. We have to get into the king

side of the Bible, and a lot of you think, just helping your

church is all about ushering or greeting and just doing

something in church singing, but no, you actually have a purpose

in the marketplace, right? You have a purpose on the movie

Set, you have a purpose doing commercial.

You have a purpose in God is trying to just make sure Heart

Is Right. That that if you get something

new, it doesn't identify you. You don't feel more swag because

you got a new car, right? You, you stronger now because

your buddy showed up. Right?

We got to get out of things. Making us feel important or

good? No, you woke up cute.

You don't need all of that. Right?

We spend too much time invested in this and abandoning what's

inside and before you know it you don't know you and you can't

find you until the end of the night after you wipe all that

stuff off your face. I don't want to see and we going

on and I want to see all the acne.

I want to see all of that. No, no, no surprise.

Hit me later. First date.

No makeup. Let's see if they like you

because right now I'm telling you my like met when he was

dressed up somewhere like look at her right?

But the first day they got your phone number with the makeup but

that date let them pick you up like hey how you doing?

Hey, don't be afraid of the loss.

Truth caused met. Y'all better write this down.

I think we got all kind of super geeky, smart Vancouver, type

people. You think you can hold all this

up in your little smart head. That's okay.

Do not be afraid of the loss. Truth caused.

Don't be afraid to tell someone the truth.

Afraid. They might leave you.

Don't be afraid to tell somebody I can't do this today afraid

that y'all might never get to do it again.

There's too many things that we sabotage because we don't want

to tell the truth. And then out of the fear of

telling truth with say, it sideways with an attitude, some

people get an attitude because you making them have to tell the

truth. Learn how to tell the truth in

peace and I help somebody learn how to tell the truth with

peace. Alright, today we're going to

talk about details. The message is called details

the necessary specifics or specs needed for Championship living.

We're coming to an end of this championship series starting

next week, we'll start a new series kind of starting tonight.

We are going to give the intro of that God is ready to give out

to equip his church where and equipping church.

So we vote to acquit. We want to compel we bought the

charge about Challenge, but this is so weird.

He was like details. The first thing started off as

desires, this is the first word, it was already stirring up in

me, and then we have that conversation outside of the gym

the other night. But it started up a few weeks

ago and said, my people have a tough time receiving They sold.

but a lot of times, you talk yourself out of being blessed,

And there's a false humility. There's a pride.

And here it is. It's a poverty mentality.

I'll use myself as an example. If I get something new,

especially as a pastor, it's a car, or whatever it may be,

because of so many leaders being persecuted, whether it's nice

shoes or whatever it is, you find yourself saying I won't

wear this or drive this around them because they're going to

think this And the Lord said, do, you know how silly that is?

Because because they misunderstand, why I bless you.

You hide it when I blessed you, so it can be a witness.

Here's the crazy part because you're not going to go and I'm

not going. If you wasn't fit, bro, I

wouldn't ask you to train me. So you want to hear somebody

that preach Faith, don't get no fruit.

Right, right? You want to talk somebody?

You want to follow somebody that preach the good news, but they

life is full of what bad news to you.

It's crazy because we persecute the people for being a product

of what they preach. Like why is this important?

Because we got a prophetic word. Remember here, here's that.

Here's that here. Elder John, here's that part.

The sowing and reaping find me a farmer that will so, and not

look for the Harvest dumb farmer.

So why do you give offering, why do you give tithe?

Why do you bless other people? Why do you forgive, why do you

work on yourself? Why do you fast and why do you

pray if you're not going to stand for a, Orvis.

But there's no farmer that does that.

They so in they expect because they song but somehow you so and

don't expect it. Some of you so big and believe,

small. That's an insole.

See you in Seoul if I try to feed my kids and they like, nah,

I'm cool dad. Y'all can he You are robbing

your father of showing his love. We are in a practical world and

let me tell you the world won't get god with you being spiritual

all the time. How do I know that?

The Bible says? They don't understand spiritual

things. Here's why he needs your heart

first. Because when you get the new car

that will attract the person that's into cars.

They get in the car and then they find the fruits to be real.

It's called fruit inspection day.

And that's why the Lord says seek me first.

Get your heart right because when I draw all men to you I

can't let them find you as a counterfeit.

So forget the stuff I'm going to bless you but just focus on me

first. So when they get in the car,

when they come to your house, when they look at your marriage,

when they inspect the fruit, they won't find hypocrite.

So, I have a right to receive and believe because I've been a

giver and not only have I been a giver, I've inherited givers

that. Let me, let me put this right.

I inherited giving giving has always been a part of my

bloodline. So there's a harvest that I am

receiving because a given my grandma gave this what y'all

understand when you when you bow out of blessing, you You you

what did your grandma work for what did show grandpa?

So for, what did your mom and daddy?

Let them people sleep in the house or you don't think my kids

should deserve or, or expect a great harvest when they gave up

a bedroom for other people, when they had the shared, a mom and

shared a daddy all day life until they got on their own and

they don't get The house and not expect God to do big things not

just for them before they children.

Oh, you gotta raise your kids with with a faith mindset.

He'll give you the desert. Nothing wrong with nice shoes.

Nothing wrong with Judah. Nice suit, nothing wrong with

getting your hair done. Nothing wrong.

With none of that, none of that should make you.

You should mom. And I told I told him in the

back, I see it, man. God is trying to get his

children to learn how to live as kings.

Will Jesus? No, he let me tell you.

He, the people that are called to take a vow of poverty, that

is far in between and I'll know if Jesus said take a vow of

poverty. There's people that do it and

it's honorable, but the world we live in.

Need people that can help them with practical needs before we

give them a scripture. Jesus fed.

He didn't say he fed more than 5,000.

Once they said, they believe, he said, who was ever there?

Hungry. Oh, can I help you show me in

the Bible where all the Miracles was save people. what kind of

father is that that he only blesses his children That obey

him. So we have the ministry of

reconciliation and if we're called to be fishermen, get

this, then we're about to get into this teaching over the next

to the rest of the year. But there's all types of

fishing. Everybody told us where

fishermen, but there's all types of ways to catch fish.

Right, there's big fish out there and some of y'all ain't

call to win big fish. Some of y'all is called to go

to, some people are called to go out there.

What was that tuna was the tuna? Wicked Tuna, right?

Some of y'all can handle put your life on the line with those

waves and you gonna catch fish and crab and make it back home.

Some of y'all die out there to try to catch a Wicked Tuna.

So the Lord's in that little creek over there down the

street, you gonna catch some tadpoles.

That's what we gonna get. You get some tadpoles, right.

You got faith for tadpoles. Hey, hey.

But that but that all help. That all help.

Maybe you on the team and you get worms for us.

You gonna get worms for it, they don't matter.

We all go eat, we all go eat, right?

You can throw a bomb in the ocean or in the lake and you

can't fish by shock, right? So sometime God, I just come in

and he just gonna Boom the community but guess what?

The fish float. And but we still gotta go.

Now, go get him, right? He's God's jobs are.

Boom. And shocked.

The community is our job to steal.

Go get them right? You can see it in your little

cute boat all day for 20 hours and throw your little thing and

eat your little crackers and stuff and turn your music on and

you can wait all day. Does different kind of fish

there are. Salmon that go against the

grain. They going back.

There's all kinds of fish and there's all kind of ways to

fish, and there's all kinds of bait.

So, godmother, put that person in a certain Financial chaos

bracket, or in a certain type of vehicle.

Got them in the movie industry, got them into the sports arena,

got them in the medical industry.

Those are all fish and you have to learn and be equipped based

on the pool lake or ocean. You are called to And not pull

down the people who, who have been called in the ocean and you

call them Prosperity, people know, to God, we all the same,

maybe you've maybe you just catching the fish in your fish

tank at home. Hey, be faithful over the fish

tank. You don't get to the aquarium

without being faithful over. The what fish tank?

Details. Hit the desire.

And then he said the other thing about their desire desires are

all over the place. It changes all the time.

Whatever is popping, whoever accepts him, he said I need my

people in this season to be very specific.

And what I have for them, they get into it.

Let me give me a difference. Give me a scripture.

I didn't do this morning is Proverbs 16 started verse 3, you

mind if I go off track a little, I'm not going to be off track,

but I'ma go off this, whatever. What what what kind of feather

is this right here details? Now let me ask you this.

How do you got a detailed God in you but you not detailed and

when I say detailed, you got to talk vision and you got to talk

specifics. But hey, that peacock, go back

to that picture. That hey that peacock those

feathers ain't double-minded. That ain't no confusion right

there. Right, God detailed you so much,

okay, has come out with something on, something on your

feeling, my kids got. No, that's detailed nose is

detail. You can you can identify

cultures and ethnicities based on certain features.

All right, you grow up, you think all black men is is is is

is tall. So you see a Yao Ming Right?

You see a tall. Asian you like what the heck is

this? Is tall Asians out there, right?

I mean look here we get, can we go in the world a little bit?

Only black people think. Only black people got big lips.

So then you got folks out here, unhappy.

So what they go get Right, it is, but they do it because

they've been influenced by a people.

So they want that detail and abandon the details.

God gave you It is just like when you looking for a computer,

you buy what you need based on the what specs?

If don't nobody, like your specs, don't alter them because

God designed you for somebody to love your specs, take care of

your Spence. I'm not changing my specs there.

Their software upgrades, I'm going to renew my mind, but

these specs is these specs. I can't.

I'm a My specs but these my specs fool around watching all

these little sick girl walking around the airport and I'm like

that's way is falling it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

No, I'm not sorry, I'm not sorry if you've been thinking about it

that's for you've been thinking about, been making your lips

bigger, keep your little lips and don't do the lipstick.

All the way up here. Carolyn, can you help me?

Could you draw a bigger School lipstick line?

Don't make you lift. You look stupid.

Now, you just gonna put that one little lipstick thing on one

time. Just won't wine.

Say specs. All right, look at this real

quick. I need you guys see this.

I need you guys see this real quick.

I need you guys see this real quick.

See little God is tired of people.

Not valuing what he gave them. You can't be beautiful to

everybody. Like this, the some people you

ugly. Everybody say praise God.

That's what I'm saying. Like chalk it up it.

Don't mean because somebody think you ugly, you ugly.

That's to them. You ever eat something you ever

eat something that's super, good to you and somebody spit it out

like there's some stuff in you. Meet that new be eating at me

like no. I try to share that, to me with

me, right? But it is really good to him.

Well, that's deep with some hot sauce on a no.

Say specs. When you don't pay attention to

your specs, you lose identity. You have to value and it and and

there's another thing he shared, he said, man people have to

pause and see how much they have already grown.

Even if they haven't transformed transformation, is It's a, it's

a summation of many moments of growth. and what you're looking

for is new, And so until you hit new, you can't celebrate growth.

And while you're growing, you still got some of the same skin.

Put your shedding. There's part of you that is new.

So don't get discouraged in the shedding process.

Proverbs 16 Min something in there that any amount of you

that have been in the presence of God, you are changing your

changing. You forget, you have to see the

results. Know that there's being, there's

results that are taking place. Before you do anything.

You put your trust. Totally in God before.

You do anything? Put your trust.

Totally in God and not in your what self you with me, then

every plan you make will succeed.

Okay, go back. We'll go slow.

Okay, this is about everything that we're talking about today.

I'm really trying to get through this because we not gonna deal

with this tonight. So, whole new thing before you

do. Anything, before you, do

anything before you, do anything before you do anything?

Put your trust, totally in God, and not in any in yourself, then

then then then every plan you make will succeed.

Every plan what's left after every nothing.

Every plan you make will succeed.

Wow. The Lord Works everything

together to accomplish his purpose.

Even the wicked are included in his plans.

He sets them aside for the day of disaster, exalting yourself

is disgusting to the Lord for Pride attracts his punishment

and you can count on that. You can avoid evil through

surrendered worship and the fear of God for the power of His

faithful love removes sins, guilt and grip, over your life.

When the Lord is pleased with the decision, you've made, he

activates Grace to turn in Emmy's into friends.

Is where favor is. This is this is what I'm dealing

with today is where you get in to peace that transcends all

Understanding God's freedom is in a whole different realm than

what you can think. There's Freedom beyond your

imagination in trusting God. When you do your part and know

that he is committed to his part it's like I'm just gonna do my

part and the rest is up to God that were told about the

details. I said this morning within the

next two years I'm believing for a thousand people plus to be a

part of this church to some people crazy.

What were they going to fit Pastor?

That's not my responsibility. That's God's but what I know he

told me. Is go after as many Souls as you

want. Looking for Laborers.

Influences, many people as you can go after souls and I'm

sitting here. Rev, Jesse.

Jesse Jackson's. Birthday, 81st birthday!

Ain't never seen this man in my life in person, but I know what

he's done in the world for the world for justice.

And I'm sitting here locking eyes with this man.

And I'm sitting in the room with all these mantels and that was

not a part of our trip. The boy I recognize when God has

put me in a place. What did I say?

Spiritual transactions do not need an announcement.

It needs eyes. Don't nobody?

In the room have to know about the transaction that was made in

the room. They'll see the fruit later.

So part of tonight is a part of the hands.

I shook the rooms we were in the mantles re received and the

words that we receive from leaders and legends.

I'm like 81 years is 62 years. He was in service to the world.

And when I'm sitting here watching and you get the NBA,

commissioner NFL commissioner, you get all these people calling

in giving their gratitudes Mayors and Bill Clinton

presidents. All of these people who have had

their hands in the movement of the world and Injustice and in

history. And I'm like, why am I sitting

here? Let me tell you is this Chicago,

it was all like 150 people there.

See, this is where you might miss it.

Because when you're in certain spaces, you never say why?

Why me, why do I get the shake this man's hand?

See that starts with honor. And not being too familiar with

greatness that you find yourself.

In comparison of Burt, you find yourself comparing and find

yourself trying to pull a man down to normal that, you can't

receive the mantles of greatness that God is trying to get to you

and your life, but I'm sitting here me and my wife, gee, maybe,

maybe the third Caucasian all the, maybe three Caucasian

people in the room. I'll sit here with my wife.

We crying together. But that's what that man fought

for, this is the man who was ordained by Martin Luther King.

This is a man who was with Martin Luther King when he got

shot? It's one of the last man who

walked by his side, still alive. And Martin Luther King for me,

was everything. And I'm sitting right here with

this man. so, when Martin Luther King passed on, who you think is

mantles went to They don't need mantles in heaven.

And he told the prophets he said, hey, if you see me when

I'm gone, you know how many people that so familiar and when

greatness leave, it has to be more day was awesome.

Nah man, there was something great So I'm like, why why are

you in Vancouver? Why are you living in this time?

Every person born in any time you was born, you were born with

a solution for your time. Every person in here has a

perfect purpose and its specific.

You are not a wandering generality.

You are a meaningful specific and you can go and look at all

these options. You can compare, you can find

the closest person who look like you and like that's what I'm

called to do. You can go get books, you can go

to seminars, do all that you want to do.

But the first thing you need to do is surrender your life to the

Lord. And when the Lord is pleased

with you, Ah, he causes your enemies to be friends, you do?

You know, how do you know? Do you know how much more

impactful you can be when now your enemies become resources?

If all you got is homies, But then he turns your enemies to be

on your side. he says when the Lord is pleased next next, verse

please, It is better to have little with a heart that loves

Justice, then to be rich and not have God on your side.

Within your heart, you can make plans this part.

I want to get to within your heart.

You can make plans for your future, but the Lord, chooses

specifics details, the steps you take to get there.

So desire all you want but be willing for the Lord to order

the steps to get their children of Israel.

I Want to Be Free. He said cool, I want you free

but we go take the long route. They like what we could have

stayed there and died and how often do we?

Wish we just we entered in a process and we was meant it was

easier back, then Noah wasn't You really want to go back

there. You really want to stay there?

All right. The Lord is going to have his

way in the end so you might as well get early in the game.

Let him have his way. He the words the worst thing

that can happen. You get later on in age and you

get that detour message. You do not have to hit detours.

Okay, here we go. Let me rush through this

conflicting desires kill details, conflicting.

Desires, God has desires. You got desires.

We fail to spend season. So lineart desires with his

desires and then details get blurry.

What am I supposed to do? Who is my friend, who the real

one, you don't have to get burned. if you stick, To the

vision, the will and the plan of God, you don't have to go

through that painful relationship.

Our desires need to be detailed. my Endeavors and I'm, like, I

love peanut butter interior. Right.

So, the little Durango we had. What asking for what looking

forward. But it was a desire.

What we was doing is seeking him first, feeding the sheet caring

about people's lives, caring about people's souls and then it

presented opportunity. All you need is eyes, the God

knows what you desire. You just need eyes when he

unveils it Boaz. She faked.

See she was faithful to serve the woman of God and then she

just bought her father's busy. She like in the Lord just one

day. Peels it back.

And you know, I was haters. I'm heading somewhere.

Our prayer life would be more efficient if we took God

details. We could get people to agree

with us better. If we gave them details.

Specifics, what are you praying for specifically, right, I gave

you this this morning. You got photos.

You go, pray God. I want more toes.

So you know the next day, you wake up.

You get one toe. Now, you got five now you mad at

God because you got five toes instead of 10.

But what did you pray for? Did you get more toes?

He answered your prayer. Right?

Right? You you bombarded God.

Oh God. I need my rent.

Paid this month. Right, but are you really just

one rent paid or you want to be a loner?

But you settle for this month. Then he comes through.

Then the next month. Oh God, I need He's keep praying

for this month. But the same faith, it takes for

this one. Is the same Faith to get you out

of this situation to where you can be renting out of situation,

but because it is false humility, and because it is

Orphan spirit because it is pride in this poverty mentality,

we just throw it out there and, like, beasts, we super General

and we're like, whatever comes back.

We'll take it, but we're too afraid to believe for the best.

We're too afraid of disappointment.

So, will preserve a measure of our faith Because we don't want

to be disappointed and we think God is up there giving out nose.

Yes. And amen.

There's timing there's things he needs to maneuver.

There's waiting, and there's things that he cares about way

more than your perks. He liked, but I actually want to

get you piece before you get it. Get the piece.

Right? And how's this is easy for me to

get but I actually want to make this household before you get

that house. So above all constantly seek

God's kingdom and his righteousness.

You've heard this scripture is the scripture about priorities.

First, he didn't say, throw, all your desires away and all the

things away. And then come out.

No he said above all that you do and all that.

You chase put me first seek me first, don't seek approval

first. See me, first, you can be

unemployed looking for a job, guess what?

You can still be doing, seeking God.

Write me and my wife was talking, let the other night and

I'm like man we are the growth is going to happen as

development is happening. And we're understanding at some

point we need he is like it's amazing that we have volunteers

every church has volunteers would make with our volunteers.

But at some point, you also need staff rather.

Part-time whatever it is. What one mind was say is what we

can't hire, Nobody Until these buildings, get done, because

that's the right thing to do. We're stewarding the, but the

money. No.

Here's the problem. It never has to be either or So

God is too small or not big enough to provide for the

building and for staff, who's growing the church in the first

place, not us him so he knows the demand for what we need.

So it's like, okay, nice little conversation.

It's not either/or, we put it on altar, we need the money for the

building and we need to hire staff.

Guess whose job it is to bring it here.

You know how much piece that is? But you see the responsibility,

I hold by saying I'm a hold out this specific and I mean just

give you that one. God, he said, cast all your

cares. And this is where desires turned

into cares. Is when you don't release

desires to him, then now you're caring about bills and now you

caring about a spouse instead of like know I desire spouse.

But Booboo, look, are you going to find me?

You can find me in the church, right?

The blessing is going to interrupt me.

I'm not going to be going out, trying to find a blessing.

The perks of Life are less important than the purposes of

the Kingdom. Today.

Can you please put an end to worrying about perks?

Let me let me tell you, probably 95% of the things you're working

for, you will not take with you. This is why tonight is so

important because what we're talking about tonight is

everything heaven and hell cares about.

I'm coming here and way too many services.

People are preaching about your breakthrough and your next

level, and your purpose, and your love relationships and all

that, all that is good. But how about?

Let's just let's just teach the route.

If we seek Him First and if we love it, we have a love of God,

all this other stuff. Let me help you.

A husband is a thing, all these things espouse falls into things

because you're not gonna need Booboo later on.

Y'all. That y'all really need to hear

me right now, though. Big house thing.

Computer thing of gray cell phone thing, Outfit thing car

insurance thing. All these are things but how

much every day you're consumed by things?

How much of the things you're comparing, how many people

you're attracted to because the things they have, and we find

ourselves not living in fulfillment.

The goal is not to live for satisfaction.

We're living for fulfillment. And that's why I wealthy man can

kill himself because he achieved a lot, but don't have no

fulfillment. In this is what we are charged

to go after is Souls so no matter what mountain there are

seven mountains of cultural influence and we're all called

to one of them whether it's entertainment which is the

biggest government education, family.

Why do you think all this sexual stuff is going into our schools?

That's a mountain government is a mountain.

Education is a mountain. Drives the world.

It's a mountain, we're called to the mountains, and the Bible

tells us that in the end, all mountains will flow to his

Mountain. So God is calling you.

If you and the entertainment industry, you gotta know that

you're there. That's your Pulpit, that's your

platform if you're into sports. If your doctor whatever it is,

you have to know why you are where you are, and then God will

increase you right before the people you around.

God is after your employees, your co-workers, he's after your

employees, if your boss, he's after your family members, he's

after the store clerk that you see every day.

That that local grocery store, people know your name that

coffee shop, they know your name, but do they know you'll

substance? Do they know who's in you?

You don't have white man man that ever lived for eight.

He's 81 years old and where he he was in a wheelchair darling,

he almost out of here. But do you know how much he

accomplished in 62 years? That's why the word I came back

with his passion. Every day we're chipping away at

Legacy. So for you to sit there in your

house, having a pity party for you to wake up and say I'm

bored. How are you called into the

kingdom of God and ever bored? God is calling us to focus, he's

calling us the specifics. He's calling us to details and

he's called. He said there's too many options

in the world. It's too much distracting us.

I'm the deodorant you like, and roll with it.

There's too many options and options, create chaos.

If there's no vision for it. He said my people need to get

focused. They need specifics, they need

Vision, they need to understand why in there.

Why has to connect to my why? They need specific details and

they need priorities. They need to prioritize y'all

let me help you guys out. Let me say something.

The pandemic. Y'all do know.

That this world is going to head back into another something

crazy. I hope you do know this.

Read the Bible. It tells us.

Then, when we see these types of things Wars, rumors of wars,

airplanes falling. And I'm the the false prophets.

When we see these things. Here's what it says.

It's the beginning of the end. So if you think yo we out the

pandemic, man. Oh my God, take this mask off.

He took the physical mask off. But do I know you have you found

your real self? when the next thing comes, are

you going to be better? Are you gonna be stronger?

Because let me tell you what he said in his church to do to win

in storms. Uh, hey, we wouldn't we wouldn't

get king crabs where without fishermen that can taste and the

storm. This world is not going to eat

on the goodness of God. If he don't got fisherman, that

can stand the storm. Am I talking to anybody?

Somebody took me somewhere the other day and at all, I'm gonna

share this detail with you cuz it's the desire of my heart.

I wouldn't go get it because I'm not there yet, but somebody

treated me to a real big ol lobster tail.

If that was the size of the tail.

Good God. Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Do you understand when you eat that fine?

That that sablefish. We eat that sockeye salmon.

You don't, you don't need just not know average.

Person going to kill no bison. Yeah.

You just, and let me get a bison burger with bacon and cheese on

it. You just think it's a little

cute little Burger. But man, if you go get that

bison, There is there. Hello, there is no true beauty

without going through a road of risk.

Paris views in this world you will never get to unless you

willing to go off-road. There are some fish, you will

never see unless you willing to scuba dive.

I ain't scuba diving. I wish I was just born in the

water, and I will hear some stuff that I'm just envious that

people see in this lifetime because they're not afraid to

cross their fears. And this is what I'm telling

you, man. It's our job to bring people the

goodness of God but that's risky.

And that Lobster. The tail was good.

I'm telling you all my God, the little butter and the limit.

They did, why am I talking about this?

Why am I talking about this? This is very, this is very

important. I'm joking but I am just now I

realize Elder John I realized that.

God put the desire of nice things in me.

Some of y'all think is worldly to desire.

Nice things. Right.

So we'll just leave the young kids at least where I'm from

Willie the young kids in the hood to think you gotta be a

drug dealer to get nice things or you got to be a rapper or NBA

like right, right pastors. Y'all gotta be broke and dirty.

All right, so the people that's living like me, God gives people

the desires, nice design. No, no God created the Bahamas.

Why can't everybody the Bahamas is there for everybody?

Is what I said in the back Emerson.

Is that to actually live in the Overflow, takes a willingness

and an ability to handle persecution.

Some people don't have a backbone to be wealthy.

And saved. Okay, where are you looking at?

I look at a church like Coast or west side, right?

Are those our churches in the like they sell an air space?

Maybe these are churches, what a lot of money and Prime real

estate, and I'm rooting for them, man.

That is beautiful. But then there's a certain type

of person that will then. Look at me.

Rather I have a nice suit or if I get a nice car or we start

getting in somehow we Prosperity, but them that seam

and look humble, these are cultural biases.

In ignorance has Right? I got some Air Force Ones on but

there's somebody got some Clark's on but the Clarks memory

Air Force. One, going 120 by 120.

You don't know, I got a buddy somewhere favor.

Give me 45 percent off but them Clark's right them.

Clark's was 350, then bloodstones the $500 so because

your $500 got mud on them. And mine is why not?

I want to put no creases in them.

There somehow You see how the world you see how systems will

Baggers off of, right? Even when you look at Africa,

they want to sell Africa as a place of poverty.

You know, wealthy Africa is so they only show us the the

poverty part. So do you keep people from out

of there? Nah, you know, how wealthy

Africa is And let me help some folk out Africa.

Just ain't people. That look like me.

We serve a king. We're Royal nation and happened.

All we live in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

How we going to reach this city? How we going to reach people

that? Don't think they need God.

Yeah, you gonna be busted and disgusted pull up in your little

pant. Oh, that's popping in the back.

Your little 77, Toyota Corolla and you owe me trying to pull up

to somebody. Some rich man that needs Jesus

and you can't even start a conversation.

You start walking to him. He going on, got no change on,

got no change, no change. Look how look how important this

is. He don't even know me, but

because of a profile that he's been trained to think, he think

I'm asking him for something. So you can't tell me that that

certain appearances don't matter, but if I'm hopping out

of some, or if I'm dressed a certain way, you don't know, I

don't have to have a lot of money to dress a nice, but but,

but I think there's a certain way I want to.

Carry myself to get in a certain room or a conversation with

somebody. That is excellent.

This is I know who I'm going to meet.

I just went and saw Adam out there and we just talked about

tennis shoes. Guess what else we did?

We pray together. So is one thing I do.

I put on some Air Forces for Adam, the young man.

But it I'm about to go meet somebody else.

It might call for a suit. All right, all right.

So after your wedding in your gym clothes No flip-flops would

be like, come on. Yeah, get it.

Get invited to the Kings inauguration of the president to

knock. It's so funny.

How will will will dress the part for certain things.

It's like, why are you wearing a suit on Sunday, but why are you

wearing a suit to go out to dinner?

What do you want to shoot the work?

Because they told me I had to oh, you slave, right?

But then I just got a mind because I'm here to, to

understand that I'm never going to be too familiar with you

that. I'm not gonna be my best when I

encounter you because I'm always trying to win your soul.

We don't winning your soul. We don't stop because you came

to church, we are called to be influencers.

So you should care for yourself. You should put your best foot

forward because Jesus did When you married, you don't just get

it made me even need at home, it should be a place where you can

relax and look your worst. Okay, if you married, you never

stop trying to please your spouse and I'm not.

Listen, Phil, I'm not talking sexually, you never stop

speaking life over your spouse. You never stop caring, you never

do some time. Try to look cute like that

she'll like you me are you gonna catch me cute?

You can walk in front of me like that to get me.

And now, you just limping all over the house.

I'm trying to help some people here today.

Marked an the question, the young man.

Jesus said, what do you want me to do for you?

Specifics? Specifics here, specifics.

Right? I remember I remember our time

when we live some life with Carolyn right?

And the certain thing, she always desired a family.

But she didn't walk around like, oh, I want a family.

But guess what? She, what she used to.

She used to take care of other people's kids.

She's to carry yourself like a wife and then one day Boaz

showed up. Now you got to read about mo ass

brother. That's not another dude at the

church that's not another due to Adam like humo ask heirloom

mowers. And no boy has around.

Now listen. So then you wonder the tears at

the wedding. You wonder the tears when it's

baby dedication. This is a desire of my heart.

I want a family but I'm not. I'm not just living to pursue

family that young lady. If you know, on the backside

serve the church, she seeking the Lord transforming her

mindset getting herself, ready for the day.

The Lord reveals what he already had planned for her and you got

to stop being so busy about the prize.

Did you neglect the person? He made you to be?

So what do you want life? Don't have to be complicated.

I won't want to be in one of them.

One of them, one of them. Every one of them wanted in

wanted in one of them, one of them, one of them.

Here's what scripture says my, he says the my God should do

exceeding abundantly above all that.

I could think imagine or dream. So there are some things that I

can't ask for because I can't even imagine.

So, what you imagine it, there's some stuff you came. so, if what

you imagined is, partially lavish, What does God have on

his mind for you? Why not believe for your kids to

go to the best school? Get the best education?

Desire is the lifeline to favor. The you got to stop being afraid

to put yourself in a position where you need favor.

Okay? Okay.

It's not my job to focus on how I'm gonna get it.

It's my job to have vision is my job to know what I'm called to

have. It's my job to understand the

why. But too many people he said,

what do you want? He didn't say.

How you going to get what you want?

He's what do you want and too many times the Lord is at your

door asking you what you want and you like now I'm not going

to think about that. Let's not think about that right

now because we can't afford it. Lord didn't ask you, did you

have the money? He didn't ask you, if you knew

the people he didn't ask you. If you had the talent ability or

the resume, he just said, what do you want?

You have to be not. He got to stop.

You're afraid to be specific and get rid of, but what would I

call it? Elder?

John, the knock the cushions, but the what's those?

What's those Clauses? Is it a clause?

Is it a like like here's what it is but then there's this fine

print that said just in case, what's this word?

The just in case Clause, right? There's these things that you

want, I want. Healing.

Right. The contingency plan, right?

And I want this. But you prepare for not getting

it, you didn't prepare to get it.

You prepare for just in case, that's not faith.

Faith is, I am going to act like, let me, let me tell you,

it was a car. I was looking for.

It was a car that I said, I'm gonna believe I'm believing two

years. I'm gonna have this car is

smart. It's what what my family need

all that. It was in two years, we don't

get this car. And so somebody went out of town

and they left a car, would guess what?

Kind of car it was car. I want.

I was like, can I text can I face driving Cool.

So I think drived like, okay, I'll see me in it.

I'm trying to teach you how to increase desire and Faith.

He said, meditate on the word and I mean, I'm giving know he's

driving like man. That's a nice car.

Now start doing research on it because I have to establish my,

why not my desire? But my why too many times you're

establishing your desire and not your why?

And then what happens is you are presented with a counterfeit

desire. And you manipulate your, why?

and any time you take one specific out of your why you've

now stepped into your will So what I've learned is sometimes,

it might just be one little speck.

That identifies the sorrow in the blessing.

The blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow.

So sometimes you got to be able to discern if this is the devil

contending, if this is persecution, but I'm supposed to

keep pushing or do I want this thing so bad that I'm willing to

manipulate to make myself, think it's God's blessing.

So, so that happens and then somebody take me out to lunch.

And I'll be darn. The details of this thing, was

it? So now I'm sitting in the back

seat. I'm not driving.

I'm sitting back here and I get to see the thing.

Like, wow, this show is nice. Here's specifics.

I can't take out a loan. I'm not taking out a loan, I

don't have a down payment. I can't pay that much for that

car. And I'm not paying that much per

month. Well, you don't want no car.

And I don't have the extra money to pay for it.

Those are my specifics. Those are those boundaries

because these are things that I can do, and I'm not a dime.

Now, I'm okay with these truths. These truths and specs.

Keep me safe. They protect me from stepping

into my will. So if it's God, you are going to

work within these things. You're going to work within my

truths and anything outside of it is.

Got to be favored. The timing is on him, not me.

Man, I'm not gonna I'm not I'm not going to even get into it

but let me tell you all that and and Beyond.

The Lord bless our family with all of that and Beyond, right?

But then we like all know. We don't want to dry the church

because then people going to think and then you got to answer

the people know you don't. The people think what they want.

They don't know what has happened in the background.

I've learned that it's an insult.

To deny the desires of your heart.

I learned it's an insult to not. Let God bless you, especially

when it's because you're afraid of people.

Because the people that's going to persecute, you aren't the

people God bless you for. So you got to understand if

your, why is rooted in the mission and in the cause and God

is setting you up so that you can be a witness to somebody

else. They persecuted.

Jesus. He didn't even have much.

He just loved people. So for sure.

Is you getting blessed? I'm telling you right now.

Don't be arrogant, don't be prideful, but for what God is

about to do in your life, don't you dare apologize for it.

What I'm telling you is what you pray for, you begin to have a

corresponding action and confession You believe in for

wholeness? No, I don't believe her healing.

No. More belief of wholeness be

specific. I want to be home every area of

my life. I want to prosper every area of

my life. I don't just want finances for

me and my house. I need finances for me my house

and a whole lot of other people's house.

I am not just believing God for me and my house that is too

small. Go to work for you and your

house. God is invested in plans that

involve others. Father, help our mind.

Help our hearts. Help ourselves.

Read you. This last scripture from Exodus

25. I'm asking you to go listen to

the service earlier Genesis 6. Because we serve a god of

specifics, do not be afraid. To purge the fat.

And get specific. Here's the scripture.

Here's another one. Let them construct a sanctuary

for me so that I can live among them.

You are to construct it following the plans.

I've given you and the design. Oh, Hallelujah, Elder John or

whoever. I'm gonna call another name.

Elder Jose. Keep it in the family.

Wednesday was the last night guys, that they had the last bit

of the parking survey they were handed out papers.

Do you know how much details the city requires before?

They give you an a permit for assembly?

Do you know the details required for us to have a church?

Do you know the details required for reconstruction?

From the plumbing to every inch to how far door is apart, what

kind of doors need to be on the building?

How high, the ceiling is clearances?

Fire interest is in exits. Do you know how many?

How big the bathroom stalls have to be?

How many bathrooms you have to? How many toilets?

You have to have perfect per person or per hundred people?

Go try to be General with the city.

And see if you get permission for vision. so if God's called

you to something specific, The race set before you best believe

your life has details. And that's why he wants you to

seek Him. First, why?

So he can reveal details. He says this designed for the

dwelling and the design for all its furnishings.

God's details were always burst from his desires for his

specific plans, worldly desires, have us praying wavering prayers

because God's not moved by carnal affairs.

We are anxious because God is not moving fast enough and all

he's waiting for you to do is adjust your desires.

He's not trying to stop you from having fun.

He's not trying to stop you from being wealthy.

He's that he just saying, prioritize, put me first because

what you're pursuing is not going to hold you when the world

stops again. Some of you wondering why

certain things seem to be delayed, the Lord is trying to

get you together. The desire for things cannot be

stronger than the desire for purpose.

The Lord. He takes care of the lilies, he

takes care of the birds. He made you with fine details,

man. If you just think about the

details, you think about our bodies.

You think about how detailed our bodies is and how intricate?

And how well they work together when one thing.

Shut down. Another thing starts to fight

for it. God is a detailed God.

Do not let this world make you live a general life.

A very just vas. Just whatever is happening.

It will happen. No.

What have you been designed to do?

Do that first, you've been designed to seek Him.

You've been designed to worship him, I promise you.

When you get rooted in his love, Ephesians, 3:16 or 317 to 320,

Everything begins to flow from the Chief Cornerstone.

And I'm telling you my family. Love quest family, we are about

to see God. Do some extravagant things and I

am super happy that things do not get me more excited than God

does. This blessing came into my

family's life and I was telling my wife.

I said I'm super grateful and we act excited but it's like a part

of us. That's like you don't even feel

like that thing just came in our lives.

And there's Sometimes some of you get blessed and it just

radically changes. You, you're happier now.

Oh, somebody told you you cute today and you like I am, huh?

Frank, you woke up after a compliment.

And what I'm saying for God's children.

It should not surprise you when the father blesses.

You For sure, get you pumped. You like what did it?

I know it would, but it should be like, no way.

Wow, not for me. God.

Because there's somebody lining up because God has to bless his

children. Because we're called to be the

light of the world. You see Pastor Dillon there with

his, with his his assault rifle, he is about to come up.

Get you out of business but here's the thing he was going to

come up like a couple people have done over the last several

weeks and give you spill on its pastors appreciation month and

that's awesome. First of all, we my wife and I

thank every single person that have sewn into us were pastors

appreciation month. Rather it was a comment online

rather. It was DM rather it was fine.

Answers, rather. It was text message.

Thank you for thinking about us. What what what I We have a

responsibility to teach people. First of all, if you sow into

us, he's so into anybody. It's an opportunity period.

Love quest is good ground. I know I'm good ground all know

what you think about yourself, but I've given too much to not

be okay with receiving is well and so if you don't want to give

that is amazing, keep whatever. It's an opportunity for you.

But what I want do is shy away from creating a culture of

Honor. I understand that every person

in here standing on the back of someone that's sacrificed for

you to be here. I get it.

So we have a responsibility to teach, he has a responsibility

or the desire to come up because he's grateful for what leaders

have done in his life. You don't know where Dylan was.

When he encountered love quest, you don't know the prayers.

That was out there. By his mom and dad, you don't

know how much this church has impacted his life.

You don't understand the car rides.

Many of car rides, this young man and I have had our time

together. Ain't just like, what's up bro?

I got a responsibility when I'm in the car with him in between

service after pouring out to you guys this guy and this guy is in

the back. And what am I doing?

Poor, I don't know when the last time I'll get a chance to speak

life. Love and principles into these

men. Somebody did it for me.

And it's your responsibility to do that for somebody else.

That's how the gospel has come. So far, thousands of years

because each generation has soldiers in it, that was

committed to share the gospel. And when you got men and women

that's like man pour into me. I will not waste your time.

I will not get too familiar with you.

That's what useful to pour into, all right?

So if you want to so praise God for you, we appreciate it.

As they've told you for the last three and a half weeks, you can

go right back into their. It's an email, you can sew

directly in some people, sewed and gave it into the church.

Specifically which is totally fine, but it's going to stay

there. All right.

Not going to have the church. Sign me a check for something

you gave especially when instructions was Even so if you

accidentally give it to the church, it's going to stay here

at the church. If you're given specifically to

my wife and I then there's the email address if not is totally

awesome. If you want to know any

announcements specifics, when baby dedication is coming, which

we have one coming up really soon, huh?

Next Sunday. Next Sunday, baby.

Dedication. 12:30. Only bring your baby.

Okay, don't tell people need not borrow.

Nobody's Baby not doing nothing angle me.

No babies and Faith, or none of that stuff.

No, now dedicate don't do that to that child.

All right. And so, we have that and then we

have a foundations coming up at some point.

Huh, November 26. And I'm so blessed, man.

People are rolling in through those things and our churches

expanding normal. When you come to something all

the time, it's just like, if you have children other people

notice how tall they getting before you do good, you always

see in your kids and this church is growing at a very steady

pace, and we are going to need people to Root it and help

serve. If you have a heart to do, so,

and then Friday, we have a game. And we miss um, we missed you on

Friday, man. It was such a good game on

Friday, man. Such a good game.

I was, I would say that was a great loss.

It was a really good loss and nothing.

I know that sounds weird but that's us.

We've been also teaching about learning how to lose.

Well, why is it a great loss? Because it was something that

helped us measure where we are because the goal is not last.

Friday. Neither, is it this Friday?

The goal is to get that Trophy and so it was a great thing,

always appreciate you guys and you guys bless them when we set

up that food around ball, Founders came up and said thank

you so much for handing out food.

I was like it wasn't for y'all. It was for us that was our

tailgate party but we but but I you guys don't understand.

And how much you are impacting people around.

There's people that never really talked to us or me, and they

coming up. And people are asking me, where

is this church at? And like, it's things that are

happening because of the joy. And the hope that you guys are

bringing players, are loving to play against because it takes an

athlete back to those times, were playing was like, super

fun. All right?

And so, come out this Friday. We got a game at 50 again and

every game is competitive. Every game is good and help will

us to the championship and and yes, it's great man.

So I love this church if you know anybody that is looking to

come to church, man. Tell them to get here tonight.

Tonight is going to be fire. I can't promise you how I was

going to go, but it's going to go.

All right, I'm getting into some comfortable clothes because it

is going to be and it's going to be a powerful night, okay?

And so, 5:30 we started on time be here.

And his brother can't smooth late to church and kiss this

girl right outside the tent. No, displaying what's up?

I feel some baby boy, come on up here, and bring us out.

Thanks a first-time attendees home was that?

Someone says we anyways was a fail anyways.

Anyways, I'm actually gonna let him close out in prayer.

Hey listen. Hey, listen to what this is?

Listen. What is this?

All discipleship is. All discipleship.

I love this young man is all discipleship and there's enough

crazy crate, kingly call, but also Priestly call on his life.

It's a call on these men's lives and so for me, that's how I was,

that's how it was. Jesus walking down the beach is

like, hey, Come with me. They didn't know what they were

signing up for a while. He taking the jacket off.

Don't show the drift, man. Going to show the drift.

Don't go to drift, took his cloak off its glow.

He took his ephod off, amen. All right, so, anyway, my how

you close on the SEC but we love you guys.

Pastor Julie love you guys. But I need you guys to come

tonight. If you can, I need you to come

tonight. If you can, if you don't come to

no other 5:30 service this year, come out.

Not. If you can't go put, you comfy

clothes on and come in and ready to be charged and rocked, and

have fun and leave out of here, ready to take your City.

All right, go ahead and pray for his brother.

just thank you for today. We thank you, Lord, that we can
