I just want you guys to know me and Pastor Julia missed you guys
-
dearly And yeah I'm just gonna hop in this word.
-
What I will say, all you guys that are streaming in.
-
Welcome, can we give it up for our streaming audience?
-
Please feels good to be able to go out of town and see a church
-
still growing see people take ownership to build the church.
-
I will say this coming back I will say this to you that we are
-
going to do some massive things in this city.
-
That's all. I'ma say I'm a happy and father,
-
thank you for this opportunity again.
-
Thank you for taking us up in the air back down and they are
-
back down multiple times. I do not take that for granted.
-
If it wasn't for your wisdom that you've given men and women
-
throughout history, we wouldn't be flying.
-
So I say thank you. For creating a vessel to give me
-
from to and fro safely. But I do understand and that we
-
did not go up and come down because they fly.
-
Well, it's your grace and mercy that kept us because I know I'm
-
somebody and I Know The Enemy would love me to be gone.
-
So every time I wake up I understand why hell is mad.
-
So Lord From This Day Forward. May I may we never walk up here
-
again. Casually may we understand the
-
power of the Gospel rather people receive it or not.
-
It is the gospel that has transformed lives of thousands
-
of years. It is the only word that has
-
never faded. It is the only word we can can
-
can count on and that's governments change their minds
-
as friends changed, their minds as people, waiver as the culture
-
changes, as economies go up and down, lord, you stay the same.
-
May we never ever get too familiar with them.
-
So God me tonight. There's something may flicker in
-
our soul. In Jesus name, amen cha do, my
-
best articulate this and I think we're getting ready to head into
-
a new series on Sundays, possibly starting, not this
-
week. But next week Elder, John and
-
Pastor Dylan did a phenomenal job at setting up a Leo.
-
Thank you. All you guys that get you 5
-
minutes or 10 minutes. Phenomenal job we raised in
-
soldiers. Like the vision said we would we
-
were we will equip. I find what I'm sharing tonight
-
is very, very crucial, very important.
-
Let me just jump into it. Tonight, I want to talk from the
-
idea same same, same area. We've been dealing with as far
-
as realm, but tonight I'm going to talk about, Let It Burn not,
-
cuz it's been fires. Okay?
-
It's just so you won't. So you won't think I'm trying to
-
piggyback off of fire. Like I'm a little more creative
-
than that. Now, did y'all download?
-
No, it's all good. It'll be up in a second.
-
My bad. I forgot.
-
I had to tell y'all the message was already.
-
Y'all should have knew that. Amen.
-
Well, I got a couple of things out of my hip I could I could
-
share with my phone that While they get that, I don't want you
-
to miss it. Our relationship.
-
This is just, this is no. Order is just things that Lord
-
shared with me while I was going.
-
I'm just going to hit you out the notebook.
-
Our relationship with God is not about obedience.
-
It's about devotion. If your relationship is about
-
obedience your slave, not a son. Your relationship is not God,
-
tell me what to do and I'll do it.
-
That's legalistic. Your relationship is about
-
devotion. Not about your do's and don'ts
-
your, your, your you missed the marks.
-
It's not about, none of that. It's about your devotion.
-
It's about no matter how I messed up last week, I'm still
-
devoted. And it's in my devotion that I'm
-
going to be transformed David. David couldn't possibly, hold
-
his sins above his head, and have a relationship like he did
-
with the Lord, but it was in his awareness of God's grace and
-
mercy that he had a deeper Revelation than most about the
-
love of God. Learn how to do things hard
-
easy. Learn how to do the hard things
-
easily. Don't put it up.
-
Just let me know when you do got it in, then then then I'll get
-
back there. I got way too much.
-
Sorry people. Make aggressive mistakes.
-
Not passive mistakes fail. Trying intentionally.
-
Don't passively make a mistake and then you because you were
-
passive that's your excuse for why it didn't happen.
-
Well, if I would have tried harder.
-
Well, I didn't even put my all into that because we end up not
-
trying at all being afraid of failure.
-
Champs are afraid to fail. I'll get it yet.
-
Huh. Three seconds.
-
Three minutes. I was ready to go.
-
Okay, that's okay. Not yet.
-
Okay, it's all good. Are the Lord tell me, he said,
-
reach as many people as you possibly can.
-
You don't need a strategy to win.
-
Souls, let me. Let me rewind it.
-
You don't need a strategy to witness.
-
So start waiting for perfect circumstances to do what you
-
were created to do. The cool thing about winning
-
Souls is you can be unemployed and still win souls.
-
So you don't need a job to win souls.
-
You don't even need a job for purpose.
-
Your purpose is not employment. Your purpose is to worship.
-
Number one, number two, is the ministry of reconciliation.
-
Do not forget that, God is co laboring with us in the Harvest,
-
which mean he has a part to do. We shouldn't be trying to win
-
souls. That aren't ready to be one.
-
Okay. I'm going to talk to you so you
-
can stop being disappointed because you did that person you
-
know is hard headed. God, get some ripe.
-
And then he leads you or he leads them to you when they're
-
ready to be one. Where co-laborers he's the lord
-
of the Harvest. The point is is are you ready
-
when he sends them? Alright, alright.
-
Alright. The world does not have to
-
attack the church. We're attacking ourselves.
-
And here's the cold part about the Bible.
-
It says A House. Divided cannot stand.
-
No wonder the church is toe up. We do it in music.
-
We can't just rap about Jesus and how good he is and tell our
-
story. We got to tear down all the
-
rappers. We got to tear down other
-
artists, we got to tear down other pastors.
-
We got to tear down we fighting against ourselves devil, don't
-
got to do nothing. Now they love quest.
-
I love when a given like this because this for whoever,
-
whoever this is for I heard this when I was out there you will
-
never have authority over dings. You are entertained by Yeah.
-
Okay. That's that's the one Lord.
-
Okay, we'll park there for a second.
-
Amen, you can never have authority over things.
-
You are entertained by. You trying to pray the Lord,
-
help you overcome lusts but you entertained by Luss.
-
I raised, hallelujah, amen. Raise one right there.
-
That's when you raise one. We Ready.
-
Pray for us, y'all. Iron sharpens iron.
-
Not aluminum. Okay, okay.
-
What do you mean by that pasture?
-
We especially in this season, we got to hang out.
-
If just assumed your iron, you got to hang out with iron.
-
You've been wasting time with aluminum.
-
And that's why you're not sharp iron sharpens iron, not alone
-
with him. You've been, you've been, you've
-
been, you've been sharing all kinds of Revelation with
-
aluminum Amen, we're gonna park right there.
-
Right there. Right there.
-
There we go. Let it burn, living in the realm
-
of passion, living in the realm of passion.
-
Living in the realm of passion, Let It Burn.
-
I think of scriptures like let your light shine.
-
Well, I think of a rise and shine, there's no glory.
-
There's no Shine without passion.
-
And what I do understand is a lot of us around.
-
Here has come from passionate passionless, churches,
-
passionless families. And we have this thing in our
-
mind that Charisma you can't be passionate and not charismatic.
-
Let me help you. Charisma and passion goes
-
together and I don't know what kind of passion you got that,
-
you don't express, if I got a wonder if you passionate you
-
ain't passionate. Don't trip.
-
I'm just getting warm. I'm just getting my feet wet.
-
Getting back, trying to figure out what Elder John and all
-
y'all preachers, then sprayed in the soil, I'm working it out.
-
I should not have to guess if you're passionate.
-
I should not have to guess if you're saved.
-
I should not have to wonder. If you were excited about being
-
alive, you should be an expression of what life is of
-
what Joy is. Okay, living in the realm of
-
passion. The realm of passion.
-
All right. Let's dive in.
-
You got all the slides or just title page.
-
Amen. You got it.
-
Okay, because I'm ready to go. All right, passion says I cannot
-
settle. I cannot sit and watch.
-
I will wrestle till it changes. Nah, this ain't it.
-
I will live and die for this passion.
-
Passion, don't mean loud. Passion is an action word just
-
like love is it's a verb to me? It is because passion drives you
-
to action. I should see your passion.
-
Here's the thing is everybody is passionate about something and
-
that's why you are successful at failure.
-
You're successful at lusts, don't nobody, got out preach on
-
lusts. Don't mind.
-
Gotta teach you how to lie don't.
-
Nobody got to teach you how to hide.
-
Don't, nobody gotta teach you how to send, what are you
-
passionate about? And this is something.
-
The Lord is, is challenging me and challenging us on Oh man.
-
Stay stay. I can't settle for how my city
-
is. I can't settle for the dad that
-
I am today. I can't settle for the husband.
-
I am today, I'm going to be passionate about being a better
-
husband. I'm going to be passionate about
-
being a better preacher. A better a better Pastor.
-
I'm going to be passionate about it.
-
Passion is fuel. If you ain't got no passion.
-
You won't eat. You won't be pretty little car.
-
That's something I can't understand.
-
Sometimes you see a real nice fancy car on the side of the
-
freeway, how your car break down this some cars just don't
-
supposed to break down, they don't look right on the side of
-
the freeway. I can't sit and watch this.
-
I can't sit and watch people. Go to hell.
-
I can't sit and watch a family go without Maybe I can't help
-
the family today. You don't wait till you get
-
money to respond to Poverty, Jesus solution, to Poverty, was
-
preaching the gospel. He preached the gospel to the
-
poor. Let me help you poverty.
-
Is not a lack of money to buy product of you, but you could be
-
wealthy and have a poverty spirit.
-
I will wrestle till it changes. Jacob, I'm not letting go.
-
You're going to change my name. You're going to change my
-
circumstances. I will not let go until it
-
changes. Something gotta shift.
-
Ain't no ain't no ain't no victim.
-
Ain't no pity party. I know, I still got the same
-
symptoms and signs, but I'm not letting go of the promise to the
-
promise grabs. A hold of me.
-
Nah, this ain't it. The same God's best.
-
Passion. If you cannot live and die for
-
it, it ain't worth your passion. I'm a deal with this a little
-
bit because we got to stop giving away passion.
-
You giving people passion your you ever, you ever get excited
-
about something and you passionate about something.
-
And then you like, Did you hear what I said?
-
And they got excited. When somebody gotta tell you,
-
they excited. When they tell you, that was
-
funny. It wasn't funny.
-
That was funny. If you can't live and die for
-
it, it ain't worth your passion. I'm getting ready to talk about
-
one piece is Stewart in your passion.
-
Everybody got passion for something.
-
Some people got passion to sleep.
-
You passionate about food, you passionate about fashion, you
-
passionate about all kinds of stuff but the question is is
-
your passion invested somewhere that's going to get you a Godly
-
return. Where are you sewing?
-
Your passion. Wait, are you ready?
-
Where are you caring too much? I think care has carried the
-
church. To paralysis.
-
Because Witten, Jesus, do that Woody.
-
Let's look at Jesus. Jesus.
-
Kept it. Push in and he wasn't sitting
-
and nobody's pity party man with the Mac.
-
Get up, bro. You want to walk and get up?
-
I can see him like, get up. If you get up, I'm sorry.
-
I ain't got time for no funerals.
-
I know that's your daddy, but let the dead bury the dead.
-
Let's go. You want to follow me?
-
Oh, Rich ruler. I don't care.
-
You, sell your stuff. Come with me.
-
Oh, you don't want to buy? What what Jesus are we talking
-
about? He's like, man, Delta.
-
Then there's always going to be poor people.
-
Listen. Like that.
-
Let me, let me help you out. We're gonna partner with people
-
who hand out food, we're going to hand out food, sometimes, but
-
we knocked the, we not the pantry Ministry.
-
So anybody come here is like, oh my God, we and Wiley.
-
Let me tell you something, who we going to hand sandwiches out
-
two, and five years in this neighborhood.
-
Y'all see, all of the vet, they not gonna need sandwiches in the
-
condos. So I got putting us in the
-
middle of influence and resources.
-
Right. Let me tell you something, the
-
government handles food, and read many people on the streets,
-
got enough resources, and they qualify for him.
-
So, I'm not saying we're not going to men with a perfect spot
-
on his little hot cocoa in the alley.
-
Alleyway, cold cold, you know me.
-
Are we gonna do? So we don't partner with people,
-
we don't hand out, we going, we're going to partner with
-
people at, with families at the school and giveaway, backpacks,
-
and, and Christmas baskets. And we gonna do things like
-
that. But what I'm saying that's not
-
our major here, here's the thing.
-
That shouldn't be the church's major.
-
That might be a pair of churches, major that might be on
-
somebody's heart. That comes to a church to say.
-
Man, I really have a heart for the homeless, okay, awesome.
-
But just because you have a heart for the homeless Don't
-
expect the whole church to have a hard for homeless.
-
You should expect a church to support your burden. if it's of
-
the Lord, right and help you get strategy and give you resources
-
and have your back with some things.
-
But man the church has been a soup kitchen in a way that has
-
kept people on the streets. Just as much as the government
-
has like we settle in for a sandwiches and he's the Healer.
-
Right. Like what like why we won't just
-
like why we won't just fast and pray.
-
Let's get some power in this church, and let's see.
-
People get, let's see some more Kyle's walk-in, right?
-
You like can we get them off sandwiches?
-
Like, the sandwiches is even better.
-
Hey, it ain't like we make it like whole grain days bread.
-
Right? Organic cheese turkey breast
-
with no nothing in it. But turkey like man, we feed
-
them stuff. Spaghetti, Wonder white bread.
-
Amen. You got to ask what your passion
-
is invested in. Why why?
-
Why, why why? I remember, my Michael was
-
little, I don't know what got into him. but I forget what we
-
talked about in the all he kept saying was why For five minutes.
-
Why why? And every answer to, why has a
-
why And you got to go as far as you can down that white rain.
-
like like if like if I'm about to get in this argument with
-
you, Why? No, sometime before you give
-
that person your business. Why is it important for you to
-
tell them off? That's passion you given them.
-
That's passion now that passion can be redirected.
-
When you go on a coffee meetings, all the why is it?
-
Cuz you just need company, you codependent, or you really
-
trying to win this person. Soul, or what's your, why look
-
for a job? Why if his money just great
-
money, go, I just need some extra money this time getting
-
this job, right? What's the why you don't have
-
that kind of time? There's many things that God
-
showed me on this trip. When I got a chance to shake the
-
hands of greatness sit in the room of greatness. one thing
-
that I walked away with, Is that I was in a room with people with
-
Elite passion. And it would make a lot of us in
-
here. Look, so passionless Elite
-
purpose, that makes a person only go to wake up and go.
-
Get a go, go to work and pay bills.
-
That's it. And you see these people, no
-
matter, the religion, put their lives on the line.
-
And give their passion to changing cultural, agendas to
-
get in strip clubs, off a corners and building housing for
-
elders, time out. They look around Plant
-
themselves in a community. Educate themselves lead rally
-
cast Vision to the point where the city wants to give them
-
buildings because they got vision.
-
And when you understand this, when you got Vision to change
-
and make a better place better, you won't have to buy no
-
buildings. Passion there's a fight for our
-
passion is what he is, what he's sharing with me.
-
There's a fight for your passion, there's a fight for
-
your passion, mark 14 talks about, he comes for and forth
-
14. Plus he talks about the enemy
-
comes immediately for the sake of the word.
-
Didn't want on down. You can see where it talks about
-
the word is stolen because of the cares.
-
Of this world. You got passion for the things
-
of this world. You care too much about the
-
things of the world. Affirmation.
-
When you've already been certified.
-
You gonna settle for affirmation instead of certification.
-
The lower life, the lower the lower, the Lord you're going to
-
take that. There's a there's a fight for
-
passion. Here's what the scripture says,
-
hope deferred makes the heart. What sick, there's a fight for
-
your passion, for Samuel. 30 says this and David inquired of
-
the Lord saying, shall I pursue, we've heard this story many a
-
times David comes back. He's distressed Bible says he
-
encouraged his self. The men's families and have been
-
kidnapped Village. Burned, people are turning on
-
David and David encouraged himself, and he goes to the
-
Lord. Shall I pursue this troop?
-
Shall overtake them? The Lord answered him.
-
Pursue it for you shall surely overtake them and without fail
-
recover all look at the words he's chosen, shall I pursue
-
whatever you have passion about you pursuing, whatever you
-
pursue, you have passion about Then he says, shall I overdoing
-
overtaking nothing without passion approaching a war?
-
Passively is not victory. Some of you wondering why you in
-
a season so long because you're going through it without passion
-
and without fight. The Lord answered man.
-
You got the right attitude. I'm not about to put that
-
absolutely clearly with the with the words you have chosen with
-
the question you have asked me clearly, You Got What It Takes
-
and then you read as he was going, 200 men fell off, because
-
they was tired. Oh they ran out of passion so
-
they couldn't fight no more and this what I'm saying over the
-
years, think of some of the people who you met Miss but they
-
just couldn't keep up with your passion for whatever you was
-
going after. Some of you had a different kind
-
of passion. One of the first people to have
-
a certain type of passion for the things of God in your
-
family. And you see the people, when you
-
slipping away, because passion is drawing You, One Direction
-
you find people with passion for.
-
Something else trying to pull you back.
-
And I do understand that through the anointing there is passion
-
imparted and when you walk away from what God gave you passion
-
for into some males, you going to wonder why you burnt out in
-
the thing you like, but didn't have anointing for it, having
-
talent for something and have an anointing for some is two
-
different things. No, I'm up here, man.
-
I'm I'm up here. I flew in this morning.
-
I ain't getting no sleep last night, but I'm up here full of
-
passion because I'm called to do this.
-
Not going to wear sleepy out here.
-
Some folks want you to know that I worked all day long.
-
They come in tired, you offer him some water, not as, okay, I
-
can't even pick the cup of tonight.
-
Feeling sorry for you because you worked all day.
-
First of all, you chose to work How about the blessing you got
-
to work all day? Now you got 10 hours of seed to
-
sow somewhere. The blessing to have a job all
-
day. If is that bad?
-
Quit. Oh Jesus.
-
John 3 says this for here is the way God loved here.
-
Is the way God loved. You got saved our passion.
-
Greater, is he? That's in my boring self and he
-
that's in the world. I went to look up the word
-
passion in the second definition said Christ.
-
The Passion of Christ. You don't get no more passionate
-
than that to die for somebody else.
-
Wrongfully accused and don't say a word.
-
Oh, we all snitching. You tell you not taking me from
-
Courthouse, the courthouse at all.
-
I'm telling I ain't do nothing they centers.
-
He gave his only he gave his best see this is what a lack of
-
passion will have you have you? Let me get this right?
-
A lack of passion. Will always have you given Kane
-
offerings? passion makes you give your best
-
but when you lack passion you always will give God partial Oh
-
man. How y'all keep doing all that
-
passion. I'm not spending my passion all
-
day out there and then I come to church I ain't got nothing
-
against I give passion of Google ain't got no passion for God.
-
Yelling, because I'm passionate right now.
-
So now everyone who believes in him.
-
So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but
-
experience everlasting life, why?
-
Because God has so much passion about you, That he acted on it.
-
I love you. Jesus.
-
Oh my God. Okay.
-
But do you have passion for Jesus?
-
If you have passion for Jesus, does your relationship reflect
-
passion for Jesus? There's your mouth.
-
Reflect passion, for Jesus. Right, right.
-
Right. Right.
-
Joseph ran out the house left his robe because he had a
-
covenant with the Lord. My nowhere in the Bible.
-
Did it say he didn't want no tail.
-
That brother. Is in the house every day.
-
She's seducing the brother every day.
-
No. Where did he say he didn't?
-
Like the brother said, man. And Joe says I'm a covenant with
-
my eyes. See, when you really love the
-
Lord it makes you do some stuff. Just like when you really love
-
that tail, it make you do some stuff, right?
-
You're right. So you like you love cigarettes
-
more than you love health. Right.
-
Do not listen. Don't listen, let me don't ask
-
me to pray for you to get off cigarettes so you can go smoke
-
another cigarette after church. I don't even know who smoke
-
cigarettes in here, but somebody new Now, I'm not going to be no
-
church where we have a cigarette section.
-
I know some big churches out here.
-
Got a cigarette section, we ain't gotta win that.
-
That's how we win. Souls no big sign, no
-
cigarettes. Cigarettes stink. they stink up
-
your clothes, if anybody in here, smoke cigarettes, The lord
-
loves you, he's passionate about your freedom, they stink, the
-
Box, tells you, you're gonna die.
-
We are Co laboring with a very passionate God.

-
out on. What you got that 40 minutes of
-
therefore take that off a man. Hey man.
-
I'm not saying with that but I'm just saying.
-
We are Co laboring with a very passionate God.
-
JD we put we colabor with a very passionate God, how don't you
-
have passion? Greater, is he that liveth?
-
Do you know what you saying? God be for us.
-
Do you know what you're saying? Are you just with your lips?
-
You serve me with your heart. Is far from me.
-
Which of lips. We should sing songs like that
-
in church. Sometimes like what God's saying
-
back right? Sometimes I'm this hand on him.
-
We are cold laboring with a very passionate God.
-
How can we be a boring church? When he's a consuming fire?
-
The god that lit up a bush. Hey, what's up?
-
Mole over here over here? The bush.
-
How can't you live your hands and then how can you be around
-
other people on fire and not getting its lift the toe or
-
something? Say where it would Romans 5 says
-
but Christ proved God's passionate love Christ, prove
-
God's passionate love Christ, proved God's passionate love.

Who prove God's passionate love his son proved on Earth.
-
He is passionate love God's passionate the sun, prove the
-
Father's, Love the sun, prove the Father's.
-
Love scuse me for this bit right.
-
There is annoying. The son, prove the Father's
-
Love. There's this Invisalign, man.
-
The sun, proved The Father's. Love the sun.
-
It's our job to prove the Father's Love.
-
It's your job to go into the world and prove that he's alive
-
that he could change your life. We make it hard for something.
-
Let me let me let Elder John. This is what I really think it
-
ain't Rebellion keeping a lot of people from church.
-
I'm preaching right now we want to look at the heathens um
-
excuse me that's just saying that rebellion and Heathen is
-
stronger than the blood. No no no no.
-
How many of you? Did he keep while you was in the
-
club? It was grace and mercy kept me,
-
high not need grace, and mercy and keep me high.
-
But it kept me while I was hot. He's smoking, you got that car,
-
honking people have some close calls, some close calls with out
-
in the world. Trying has trying to one foot in
-
one foot out right now, let me help you out.
-
God kept you, what? Wait a minute.
-
If you agree, he kept you then. Why would he keep you?
-
When you Running from him. if then, by the time he snatched
-
you up, You either came straight to love quest, or it wasn't that
-
much after you found some church.
-
That was kind of just to get you.
-
You don't see this like you know that you know, on the road when
-
you traveling they got the truck stops.
-
Maybe you don't really want to do all the bathroom at a truck
-
stop. That's just some little quick
-
little something to hold you over anybody ever been to a hold
-
it hold you over Baptist Church. Right?
-
You may not know it at first, but then when you found the
-
place, you were supposed to be at you as like, oh, okay.
-
That was the Lord against you in a hold your over.
-
So you don't, so you don't die. You don't saying.
-
So don't be mad at the bathroom on the side of the road because
-
you would have peed on yourself. If you didn't had a washroom on
-
the side. Say a thank God for truckstop.
-
Say, thank God for truck stops right.
-
We need truck stops in our life, but Truck stops and a place to
-
grow. There's some stuff you just
-
don't do that truck stops? Nah, I might have to hold that
-
one one, way we know all number one at truck stops, and that's
-
it. Right there.
-
You know, how do we translate this?
-
So when you was at your truck stop Church, you got involved a
-
little bit. And then for some of y'all, you
-
was wondering why they didn't promote you.
-
It wasn't them. You wasn't supposed to get
-
rooted. This God's work here.
-
And this is why it's dangerous to look at the church.
-
Because normally, when God trying to transition you start
-
looking at what's wrong with the church.
-
No, no, I'm not leaving because what's wrong, because what's
-
wrong for me is right, for somebody else.
-
Right now, I bless you. Thank you for the little truck.
-
Stop. I needed that truck, stop,
-
because I would have been doing the number one outside somewhere
-
on the freeway. No.
-
Thank God for the truck stop. Come on.
-
Say thank God for the truck. Stop.
-
Says we that's why we don't look back.
-
The Lord was keeping you at the truck stop.
-
Because if you went one more year where you was you would
-
have been absolutely dead by. Now, you would have made one
-
decision that would have took your life a whole nother
-
Direction. Lord didn't save you once he
-
keeps on saving you. But Christ, prove God's
-
passionate love for us by dying in our place right at the truck
-
stop he was even like God don't get them just chilled killed
-
till Dad, I'm Bobby, stop Bobby, stop.
-
Starbuck, man, I should be jail dead for sure, stupid decisions,
-
stupid decisions divorce. Nah, Why we were sinning Christ
-
died? Now, you got to get this
-
passion. Wasn't waiting for the right
-
circumstances. Passion said, I have to do what
-
I can now. His life, then matter for your
-
life now. That's how powerful the blood is
-
but this is more powerful. It would his love wouldn't be
-
that great if he died when you got it, right?
-
He said no no no I actually got to show him my love while they
-
messing up. The first person to lose with
-
you, Jesus, he lost with you before you even lost.
-
This is passion. He couldn't wait for us to
-
change. He couldn't wait not like man, I
-
can't wait for y'all to change. No, like I can't I can't wait
-
for you guys to get it, right? I got to do this now.
-
He was too anxious to save you that he had to save you before
-
that some passion. I don't even know how they gonna
-
turn out. But gonna let me get, let me go
-
ahead die for him. I don't know what decisions they
-
going to make but just in case they go that way let me just put
-
the blood on it. You ever think about you ever
-
think about you? Some people as foolish.
-
They like all he knew I was going to make that decision.
-
Um he might have new but he didn't choose that decision.
-
That's why he died just in case you made the foolish choice, you
-
still had a road back. He was desperate for us and
-
that's why we can't just sing in vain, I'm desperate, Lord.
-
And you got to open yourself up to, he's desperate for you too.
-
Are you gotta get Covenant? You gotta get some Covenant
-
Revelation. It's not a one-way worship
-
service. You're singing unto him, he's
-
singing over. You, you're sending Praises up,
-
he sent him. He's sending blessings down.
-
Right? You're pouring out.
-
He's sitting down strike. Passion is as why you got to get
-
this passion is as vital as character.
-
See, even when David's character.
-
Was out of whack. He still had passion for the
-
Lord. Is he sometimes this is where we
-
get messed up C on. We end up sending when we
-
haven't had no passion. For Jesus, see what keeps a
-
person on the right. Track is their passion for the
-
Lord, you're not just worshiping and praising for something bad
-
to happen to you. That day, you can have strength.
-
But what about having strength to bounce back or not quit.
-
When you do mess up, when you do, make a dumb decision, you
-
somehow think that your praise don't count.
-
Now you messed up No, matter of fact, that moment God, created a
-
space for you to worship him because he knew down the road,
-
you was impossibly going to make that dumb decision.
-
But you got some in the bank to keep you passion is as vital as
-
character. Quite frankly, what helps me
-
work on my character. It's my passion for the Lord.
-
I really do want to please the father.
-
All right, so I'm some people you just try.
-
That's why it's works. That's why I was like aha.
-
Again another 30 minutes. Huh?
-
Another service? Huh.
-
Where's your passion? You got more passion to go to
-
work. But my passion, your passion and
-
all of this is going to make sense.
-
This passion thing is setting up something.
-
We don't dive into over the next few weeks.
-
Psalm 37, find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh and he
-
will give you what you desire the most time.
-
Find your delight and true Pleasures.
-
Your true. Pleasure in your, find your
-
Delight. Find your affection.
-
What has your affection? They don't want you stop giving
-
them your affection. They keep lying to you, stop
-
giving them your faction stop caring.
-
You can love them and not care for that drama.
-
You don't you don't get your love intertwined. like like,
-
like, like, um, I've got to say I have to like you Oh no man.
-
Nothing except a level. You can't really like someone,
-
you don't know, but you can love someone you don't know.
-
And you getting caught up in your fields and somebody got
-
your passion, somebody got you affection and this is what makes
-
it hard for us to move on from old Seasons.
-
This is why soul ties are dangerous.
-
It's who I sex without it at the context of marriage someone who
-
I was called To Die For it's so dangerous.
-
Passion is a very precious gift. And I think we take it for
-
granted and we put our passion into everything.
-
Ice cream chicken come on tell me something.
-
You're passionate about Nike and come on.
-
Come on bone broth man. Get out of here.
-
Sports your business, Sports education. everyone has
-
different passions give God the right to direct your life and as
-
you trust him along the way, you'll find Heap, he pulled it
-
off perfectly It takes passion to trust God.
-
It takes passion to not give up. Hope I make it a little further.
-
Psalm 84 to says deep within me, are these lovesick longings.
-
Desires and Daydreams of living in Union with you, man is
-
brother nor to talk to the Lord when I'm near you, my heart and
-
my soul will sing and worship with my joyful.
-
Songs of you, my true source, and spring of life.
-
You my source, look at this man's patch, don't forget
-
adulteress murderer, Lovesick longings desires and Daydreams
-
who you meditating on. Who gets your mental passion,
-
you know, the phone with him all the time, then when you off the
-
phone in your mind, you still on the phone.
-
You looking on the phone to see, if they called how many time you
-
go swipe it. Punch in the code.
-
That's all passion. That's all energy.
-
That's all misdirect. And so then the enemy come
-
through the back door, you know, when you look the other way, you
-
like it, the enemy knock on the window over here, you go over
-
here, you got his homie knocking on the window over here and he
-
just go through the back door. You distracted, you got your
-
face. You better start making people
-
work for your affection. Hey you better you better put a
-
very rich price on your affection.
-
You ever catch yourself yelling at somebody and just be, why
-
might you be? Why am I even talking to you?
-
Like, let me, let me tell you something that that is not rude.
-
If you say it, right? Here's what I understand
-
sometime, if you like, I'm a passionate person.
-
So sometime if I get in a heated conversation, a heated
-
conversation? Does not mean an argument a
-
heated. Come, I'm a passionate person
-
and passionate people, their voices.
-
Get I'm not disrespecting you. I'm just a little low volume on
-
my just right. Did you serious?
-
Got serious now? But then you'll find people that
-
try to ship. Why are you yelling?
-
Why are you being disrespectful? I'm not just passionate.
-
I didn't cuss at you. I didn't talk down to you.
-
I didn't belittle you. I just I just said you didn't
-
have to do that a little louder. Hold on.
-
How can I do this? Yeah, I got to be very careful
-
when I say this because some people will take certain things
-
and be like, that's right. Pastor know some of you are,
-
some of you are Reckless with your passion.
-
Some of you are distractions with your pet passion, still has
-
to be skillful. All right, but what I will say
-
with that in mind, stop letting people dim your light and make
-
you less passionate person and there's some of you in here, I
-
feel like as I Was preparing, the Lord is has some of you have
-
lost your passion, will give a few scriptures.
-
I'm a pray for some of you but some of you have lost your
-
passion. Sometime mom's we you raising
-
your little babies. If Right?
-
You put your dreams. You put your goals on the side,
-
you lose passion. Lord wants you to get that
-
passion back. Psalm 63 says, oh god of my
-
life. I'm lovesick for you in this
-
weary Wilderness. I thirst with the deepest
-
longings to love you more with Cravings in my heart.
-
That can't be described such yearning grips, my soul for you,
-
my God, Your passion should be directed towards your purpose.
-
Not your mood. Your passion should be directed
-
toward your purpose. Not your mood.
-
What has your passion or energy? That doesn't have God's purpose.
-
I'm challenging Us in here for the next little bit to watch
-
where our passion is directed. And I'm challenging you to pull
-
your passion and energy back in places that are not good ground.
-
We just think Elder John just money we saw.
-
But you so time you so energy. Stop thinking that the only way
-
to the top is grind. But part of grinding is resting.
-
I know there's a lot of stuff out there in the world, but the
-
Bible says, what we should be grinding to.
-
And what we should be laboring for is to enter his rest.
-
No one's saying not work hard, but you have to understand that
-
there's other things, that make light that brings wholeness
-
right. You, you gotta know, I need to
-
spend time with my family. No, I could go make that little
-
extra extra. With him, we going to read all
-
about it when you get divorced. No, don't use your job.
-
Don't use your career as a place to hide and then the energy you
-
got at work because for some of us that's our well that's the
-
place we hide. Keep that same energy when you
-
walk in the house at home. Here's what the Lord said.
-
Here's what he's very, if you ain't heard nothing else all
-
night, here's what the Lord saying, Terrence son.
-
I need their undivided attention for just one season.
-
I played a keys myself on that one.
-
Now you wasn't doing it. Wasn't that?
-
I've just felt like playing the keys.
-
Listen, you got to write this down.
-
This is I need you to get the details of the word.
-
This is very specific. He said, I need their attention,
-
not their request. Let me help you.
-
He heard you already. He got about 10 pages of the
-
same request, he heard you real clear, all the Angels Gabe Real.
-
Moses, everybody know what you want, everybody.
-
They got a picture of your car, you believe in for in heaven
-
right now. Everybody.
-
Everybody know what you want. Okay, he's saying for one, I
-
ain't never heard this before because God always wants your
-
attention. But he's saying that there's
-
something he is trying to do where he needs your undivided
-
attention for just one season. This is less about your request.
-
This is more about your attention.
-
This does not mean, don't go to work.
-
It's not make this don't mean drop out of school, then say
-
none of that. It's really where you're putting
-
your energy and where you put in your time and it's prioritizing.
-
It's not letting people get on your last nerve.
-
Stop being so easy to find a nerve, how you on your last
-
nerve your last nerve. For two and a half years was at
-
home. You didn't spend on nerves if
-
you just use at home. I need their undivided attention
-
for just one season. I need them not to worry about
-
breakthrough, but you're worried for breakthrough is stopping.
-
Your breakthrough, breakthrough is not something you worry
-
about. he said they're good with their lips, but their heart He
-
said, I hear them, I hear a whole lot of talking request and
-
songs in the land and but their heart.
-
He even warned. This is going to be people.
-
Lord, I did Miracles, I get all this stuff for you.
-
He said, I don't know. Who, who are you, huh?
-
Yeah, false prophets. will perform Miracles like What's
-
gonna make you different? Is you have a devotion, you have
-
a relationship with the Lord. He knows you, you know, him, he
-
said, in his season, is very important.
-
I am not doing rescue missions. I'm doing heart transplants.
-
What does he say? You're not about to go live in a
-
ditch and asked me to get you out.
-
He's only look, we're going to see the greatest fruit produced
-
in people who want to live for the Lord period And it moves
-
from a desire to a lifestyle. It's not getting this season, is
-
not good enough to be like, oh my God, I love you, Lord.
-
Whatever you tell me to do, I think about it.
-
It's about who wants change, who is ready to come out of hiding
-
and leaving the old behind? It's enough acting like you got
-
it all together. This is the season where at the
-
altar, this is the season while our attention is on him, he's
-
fighting some battles for us and your stuff is going to tap you
-
on the shoulder. And say, hey, I'm here.
-
This is what we this, what you've been talking about, it's
-
not the season to worry about stuff.
-
All right, John to Isaiah 9. Matthew 3.
-
Okay, cool. I could do this in 10 minutes.
-
I could do this 10 minutes. Watch me though.
-
He told the merchants get these things out of here.
-
Don't you dare commercialize my father's house?
-
I want y'all to see this. This is so delicious.
-
This is so good. Watch this.
-
That's when his disciples said, oh my God, I remember the
-
scripture said. I am consumed with a fire.
-
Passion to keep your house. Pure Okay, okay, the it
-
Amplified, classic says it this way.
-
Then to those who sold the doves.
-
He said, take these things away out of here.
-
Make not my father's house, a house of merchandise, a
-
Marketplace, a sales shop or a place where you just come and
-
request, a bunch of stuff, the god of things, and his disciples
-
remembered that it is written. Zeal.
-
Another word for passion, the fervor of love.
-
For your house will eat me up. Oh he said my passion for your
-
house is going to consume my life and that's what he's saying
-
me. How many people actually don't
-
come to church and actually care about the mission?
-
I mean, people are going to allow themselves to be consumed
-
about lost souls and about what's on the Father's.
-
Heart, go to work, but you gotta see your clients and your
-
employees and your co-workers as Souls that the Lord wants not,
-
as people are gonna have wine with, not as people to go have
-
coffee with not as people to use for business opportunities.
-
But people need God and he's working on their heart in his
-
for you to position yourself. Day that you're going to bring
-
them into the kingdom of God. He said, man my man your Zeal is
-
going to eat me alive. He said, I'll be consumed with
-
jealousy for the honour of your house.
-
And I got this thing in me, man. I just can't, I can't stand it
-
when their Strife in a place. I can't stand it.
-
When there's, I just can't stand it with little demons or
-
Spirits. Try to come in and act a fool.
-
It don't mean, I don't love you, but there's a Zeal within me to
-
make sure that God's house what he wants for his house.
-
It happens, rather is rehearsal for however, long rather is not
-
run that bag o or when you hear me saying this just to give you
-
a little insight. If you hear me say hey what you
-
doing back there, in the middle of service?
-
Like some people be like why you didn't care about that because
-
there's a Zeal for me for people to honor God's house.
-
This is a holy place and the today's church we don't we don't
-
win it. It ain't we have church in bars.
-
We have and we come by we taking it back by force.
-
It's one thing to go do it event at a place, but it's a whole
-
nother thing to share with the world man, that you let me beat
-
half Church in a bar for a year. Best believe, I'm believing
-
either the owner gonna get saved the business gonna get shut
-
down, or we going to go find another place.
-
Like there's something inside of you that got us that Gotta Fight
-
to see God's will be done. And you don't stop wrestling
-
until you see it. He says for child has been born
-
for us, the gift of a son for us.
-
He'll take over the running of the world.
-
His name's will be amazing Council.
-
Strong, God, Eternal Father Prince a wholeness His ruling
-
Authority here. This will grow.
-
And there'll be no limits to his ruling to the wholeness.
-
He brings listen, he'll roll from the historic, David thrown
-
over that promised Kingdom. He'll put that Kingdom on a firm
-
footing. And keep it going with Fair,
-
dealing and right, living beginning.
-
Now, And Lasting always. Here's how it's going to happen.
-
The Zeal of God of the Angel armies will do all of this.
-
The Passion of God is going to accomplish all of this right
-
now, his bride needs passion. His pride, his bride needs
-
urgency everything, we do basketball games, there's a
-
bigger reason why we I need y'all at the games, we're notice
-
that. Yeah, we want to win, but we
-
only want to win so that we can have a position in the culture.
-
That we will, then be able to have influence.
-
Yeah, we want to win, but we want a chair.
-
We want to, we are, I love seeing the video when day and
-
them was over there. Trying to keep the beat you was
-
doing all. I'm like, that's church folks.
-
Get him out of here. This folks look like, oh, you're
-
actually, like, really enjoy life.
-
Oh and it is like that if you don't think it's not like the
-
book of Acts when they was like man these folks drunk Elder John
-
drunk for sure. I got to read this.
-
I got to read this. I'm baptizing you here in the
-
river. Turning your old life into a
-
kingdom for Life Kingdom Life. The real action comes next.
-
The main character in this drama compared to him.
-
I'm a mere State stagehand. He will ignite the Kingdom Life
-
within you. What did Jesus?
-
What did John the Baptist say? Jesus is about to come to ignite
-
the Kingdom, Life within you a fire within you, the Holy Spirit
-
within you, changing you from the inside out, he's going to
-
clean house. So be enthusiastic, keeping your
-
passion toward him, ball and hot.
-
Romans 12, Siz radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit, and let
-
him fill you with excitement as you serve him, let this hope
-
burst forth within you, releasing a continual Joy, don't
-
give up in a time of trouble. But commune with him at all
-
times. Passion is required for winning.
-
Jesus died for your life, not your death.
-
So get up and live, man. He died.
-
So you could live live, he didn't die.
-
So you can be alive. he died, so you can live He died.
-
So you could live not be alive. he died, so you can live He
-
died. So you can like why did I miss
-
the fide? May we be just like a child
-
staring at the beauty. May we never lose our what
-
wonder? And I'll say this passion is
-
also a choice where I can go from like this.
-
David encouraged himself. In other words, David stirred
-
himself up. You gotta hear that, man.
-
So, I could, I could be in a bad mood, but I can actually do some
-
things to actually shift and use that bad mood energy into.
-
Get you ever be in a bad mood? You hop on a bike or you go
-
exercising and afterwards. You like that's all I needed to
-
do. So all I needed to do, right?
-
I want this church to be a place.
-
So on-farm time off from this day forward, man.
-
And if it like, if you really in in the core, I'm going to look
-
at You funny these days because because your passion has nothing
-
to do with how you feel. Your passion is something that
-
people that reading, even if I'm tired, when I'm passionate, I
-
still release a energy. And because I'm filled with the
-
spirit that energy that I'm releasing is life.
-
You ever see somebody coming room that really stank, attitude
-
anger, hey, you ever seen death in people's eyes?
-
Have you ever seen a bad attitude and people's eyes?
-
Have you ever seen somebody that's always just like, man
-
when they walk in the room wild man, they just make me feel or
-
you hear somebody's voice. And every time, you hear that
-
person's voice because, you know, of them a certain way, it
-
makes you feel a certain way, it makes you feel.
-
I think there's certain voices in your life that make you feel
-
safe. What, what what what do you
-
bring to this life to this world?
-
What energy like what's your energy brand?
-
Like I want to kick orphan out of here.
-
I want I want to kick pity party out of here.
-
I want to pick someone. I'll leave those sad song.
-
I don't want to walk up here. If your side on this sad, we've
-
not I'm not going to walk up here.
-
Because we are a house of life. I want you to think about this.
-
So where we're going where we going?
-
Not this Sunday but we're about to get into What our trophy is
-
what our reward is the Earthly reward of Earthly Champs is this
-
Trophy? This prize.
-
But I don't believe that people have effectively really heard.
-
About Soul winning. So, we're about to get into
-
this. This series, we're talking about
-
our reward Kingdom, Champs are only Kingdom Champs because we
-
win souls. And winning Souls is one of the
-
easiest things you will ever do, because a huge part of winning
-
Souls is just witnessing. And when you see how close and
-
intimate, you are working in the Harvest field with the Lord.
-
He actually does the hard part. What's the hard part?
-
He changes people's hearts. You can't change.
-
Nobody heart. You might be able to change
-
somebody mind, but you can't change the heart.
-
But he needs a church, that's what he's telling me.
-
He lacks churches that he can send the world too.
-
And they actually not just be brought in, but they be
-
equipped. May be loved.
-
Believe it or not. Not every church is ready for
-
this Latter-Day Harvest. This Latter-Day Harvest is a
-
different breed, they coming in smelling like marijuana, they
-
coming in being prostitutes. They coming in with sexual
-
confusion, they're coming in with all kinds of stuff.
-
And the last thing you need to be thinking that you got to have
-
his all the answers. The first thing, Need to have
-
his love. Second thing we need to have is
-
our testimony. And there are some practical
-
things of knowing how to lead people to Jesus.
-
But folks ain't just coming here to get Jesus.
-
They come in here to get filled with the Holy Ghost to what the
-
Lord says. I already told you to harvest is
-
coming. So I'm this Soul winning series
-
is actually not about believing for the Harvest to come.
-
It's actually equipping us for the king tide of harvest that's
-
coming because the God said is Terrence son I need a church.
-
That can handle this Great Harvest.
-
What good is Revival? if folks come in for a high, But
-
they can't be equipped and discipled for going back out
-
there. So, as a Church of God has
-
promised us to harvest, then we need to be spending these next
-
days, preparing ourselves and you already see it.
-
Kyle came in Can't wait to share a story and there's more people
-
coming in. And we're going to see before,
-
you know it well have to few more tents back there.
-
We're going to extend the 10th house.
-
This gonna take about 3-4 months.
-
For construction and all that stuff.
-
And thank you guys for filling out the forms.
-
That's the party getting our building permit.
-
Okay? We're that close.
-
They just got to do this study and turn it in.
-
Okay. But before we go next door.
-
You'll see. And it can't stop at the table
-
back there. Fellowship ain't just what God's
-
saying he want us to do with the Harvest, his fellowship and have
-
coffee and tea, we will not fumble.
-
This revival. So he needs committed people.
-
He needs people that loved him and he needs you to get your
-
mind off of what you need. And he says, seek me.
-
He said he that winneth Souls is wise.
-
Why? Because when you care for what
-
he cares about, he'll care for what you care about.
-
I have story after story after Story.
-
I can complain with the best of you.
-
But you would never know the stuff that I have went through.
-
Because my number one concern is just always been Souls.
-
And God provides every single time.
-
If your hands were you, our worship, team you come, Come on,
-
right, where you are. I want you to pray a specific
-
prayer. Is I want you to ask the Lord
-
the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart for the Harvest.
-
I want you to ask the Lord. To give you what it takes.
-
To help you. Lord, give us eyes to see when
-
we're out. Getting can you interrupt our
-
jog Can-Can, you interrupt Us in the elevator?
-
Can you interrupt Us in line at the coffee shop?
-
So we could tell somebody Jesus loves you.
-
For some of us we need to learn how to pray.
-
Because sometimes it's simple and I set it at Strathcona but
-
the Lord said no I was just preparing y'all but it was gonna
-
be traffic. Cone is going to be y.
-
Remember that day? I said, one day I'm gonna be mid
-
service and I'm going to say we're going to walk out and we
-
gonna go on the streets and we're going to split up and we
-
don't go and we going to meet back up in our.
-
And we going to tell testimonies Sometime.
-
All people don't know if anybody seen the story with me and Julia
-
had just checked in the hotel in a Chicago.
-
And we were praying front ego and our Bells.
-
Got a. I'm using all the services.
-
Yeah, you need help with your bags.
-
Absolutely sir. Take them right upstairs.
-
Thank you. and he brings our bags in and he says, I need
-
y'all to really hear this. He says, what are you guys
-
pastors? Well, since you asked, We were
-
like, yeah, he's like, can you guys please pray for me?
-
Did you see that? We didn't we didn't have, we
-
just have to be available the Lord's already moving on his
-
heart. He just said, can you pray for
-
me? All right.
-
That's that's what's going to happen in.
-
Are you prepared? Will you make yourself
-
available? Can you pray in the hotel lobby?
-
Can you pray in the grocery store?
-
You worried about people seeing you pray, it's not illegal to
-
pray in public. Not in this country, take
-
advantage of the freedom. And the Lord has put me around
-
nothing but Soul winners and so I know that's a mandate on my
-
life to be to be a soul. Winning Church, never lacks
-
anything. So doctor could do back home.
-
That's the first time I've ever seen.
-
A man on fire will be, will be in the me being here, being the
-
movies movie is over. Excuse me before everyone goes.
-
I know you saw this Powerful movie, but I got one question to
-
ask you, if you die tonight. Where are you going?
-
If you want prayer, come see me. I would love to pray with you.
-
Gas station. It's simple.
-
He walking down the street. Hey, you got a light?
-
Absolutely. Hey, you got any extra change?
-
Absolutely. Simple, if you jog it, you see
-
somebody over there, sad. Are you trying to break that
-
record? Are you going to go and just,
-
hey, can I help you real quick, and I'll pray with you.
-
What's your name? You said not about you.
-
Maybe they don't want you to pray, but you get their name,
-
and then you give it to the team.
-
And then you pray, we pray for them.
-
So, the Lord's about the equip our house.
-
We about to win this city. Absolutely, absolutely.
-
Yeah. I'm processing a lot.
-
This trip that we were on. God did some marvelous things
-
sitting right across from Jesse Jackson?
-
I didn't plan to go there. Let's be at his 81st, birthday
-
party. And the sit there and look at
-
him and see all that he's done. I was just a room.
-
One thing I was around on this trip is men and women that
-
sacrificed a life to see communities to see, races to see
-
people have a better life. And that man at 81 was still
-
saying meet me at Operation Push in the morning so we can sign
-
people up to vote. I'm walking into office with
-
elder Roseanne and Elders, John in the Swain's family, Pastor
-
back home. He take me in his office, he's
-
shaking hands with Coretta. Scott King and Minister
-
Farrakhan and comment in and Oprah and Obama and he only got
-
one hand. The same hand.
-
He Cicely Tyson and the names go on and on and on and on.
-
And this man is walking us around the community where they
-
ain't, got the city to get rid of strip clubs.
-
Get rid of gas stations where they were selling drugs and
-
build up a home for elders. People literally driving by
-
honking pulling over hey, thank you, Pastor pfleger?
-
We walk outside videos over 150 young people.
-
Few older people got rich murdered.
-
He's like we got 150 more pictures.
-
Just can't fit on there. It's a caucasian brother in the
-
black community occur is Matic priests Think he 80 years old
-
somewhere out here? 70 something.
-
Yeah. Still out there.
-
Fighting through being accused of certain things, fighting
-
through media, trying to take them down and all he's focused
-
on his Souls, we got to ask ourselves.
-
What are we doing? What are we doing?
-
Is for what do we worship this long for?
-
What do we pray like this? For the fervor fervor and
-
effectual, the passionate prayers of the righteous make
-
Power available. So if we going to be this
-
passionate Church, how much power do we have to release?
-
We not just any you're singing songs.
-
So for sure. Me and my wife, we didn't, we
-
didn't we. These last two and a half weeks,
-
we wouldn't just We sitting under some Giants, Lisa bevere,
-
we said no under some Giants. It's like why so you think I
-
came back to Patty Cake and beat us a life goes by fast.
-
But there is so much you can accomplish if you focus your
-
passion. What I'm telling you tonight
-
there's some stuff you need to care less about stop spreading
-
your passion thin because it's not as potent.
-
If your hands right where you are father, father father, thank
-
you. Thank you for bringing us back
-
together, reunited, and it feels so good, and Lord, we love you.
-
Lord, say this is a church, this is a house where you can send
-
all of your children. One thing we ask is you equip
-
us, and prepare us, and pour your love.
-
In our hearts give us the capacity for the greatness that
-
you've charged us with, give us the relationships.
-
The resources, the finances in Jesus name to do the work.
-
We will go. We will build, we will equip.
-
Here we are, anoint us to go to do and to be in Jesus name.
-
Amen. If I got five, people with me in
-
this and you give God, a big old hand, be going to shout of
-
Praise. Hey man.
-
Hey man. Amen.
-
Well, I love you guys so much. You got a mic.
-
All right, you got a microphone Elder Roseanne.
-
Want to want to hold you. Keep you just for a second and I
-
love you. I love you.
-
Absolutely, absolutely, I'm gonna make you cry.
-
Hey, you all know it's Pastor appreciation month.
-
We've been saying it every week we've been sowing and we will
-
continue to. So Galatians 6:6 in the TPT says
-
now listen, listen to this promise.
-
Listen to this. Word, get rooted in this.
-
We're not just saying, throw money.
-
Listen and those who are taught the word must share all good.
-
Things with their teacher, a sharing of wealth, takes place
-
between them. We receive the word from this
-
mighty man of God and this Mighty woman of God, they are
-
our teachers and we share wealth with them.
-
He said tonight the Lord told us tonight we need a revelation of
-
Covenant. We have Covenant with them.
-
If you have problems forgiving let me tell you something.
-
I have been in meetings with these people with our hers who
-
have asked for forgiveness when they didn't really do anything
-
wrong but they did it for the sake of unity and because they
-
love the Lord and because they have passion for them.
-
So if you have challenges forgiving that's what you're
-
sowing into exchange. Receive the have from them.
-
If you have a hard time loving if you want to love with the
-
capacity that they have. So into them, expect that
-
receive that. If you're grumpy all the time,
-
they are not so into that receive that.
-
We're not begging you. This is an opportunity you have
-
good soil to so into, don't take that for granted.
-
They work hard at keeping their soil rich and guess what?
-
The soil of this church is Rich, too.
-
So I encourage you to sow into the church.
-
I'm telling you You as I stand Here sowing and reaping and
-
worshiping and trusting God works.
-
So his word with your money, don't just throw it and remember
-
the word that you've sown and thank God for it.
-
Amen. Thank you, in advance.
-
We really appreciate it. We do know people love us.
-
We do understand people love us. We understand some people
-
struggle with with loving us and we still love you don't matter
-
and but we going to make it hard as hell for you to not love us,
-
right? And so, We play Friday night.
-
It's a big game to all right. And so come out all black.
-
We play at 750 750. Yeah. 750.
-
So come out we play a 750 and then on and then we actually
-
going to get there a little early because it's going to be a
-
little tailgate somebody called me and wanted to bring some hot
-
dogs and chips and Beverages. And so they want to tailgate
-
starting at 6:30 in the parking lot.
-
And so let's come out, have some fun and and then Sunday I'm
-
trying to tell you the Lord's cooking something and so make
-
sure you here. I'm asking every single person
-
in here to invite five people don't beg compel Okay.
-
In Jesus name, father. I think you got anything to say
-
you good? Yes you do or are you good?
-
I have to go to pick up our kid in the middle of service so I
-
miss everything that he talked about all of that processing.
-
So he may have already said this but when we were in Denver, we
-
were at a conference with a lot of pastors who are doing amazing
-
things, and amazing Ministries, and all those things.
-
And when people would find out that we were Church Planters,
-
this one couple said, oh, How are you really?
-
And we were like no, we're amazing.
-
The other another couple was like, oh, it's been so hard at
-
covid is just like half of our church is gone and half of our
-
giving is gone and it was just a person after person that would
-
have liked. Oh, but are you sure you're
-
okay, or you really struggling, are you?
-
And I tell you guys, I, our heart is so full.
-
We have an unbelievable community of people.
-
We are so Rare when we have traveled to other churches and
-
Ministries and in all different cities and it just fills our
-
heart to be able to brag on our community.
-
To talk about our leadership to talk about the hearts of the
-
people that serve with us. And people are like, oh, what do
-
you like best about your drizzle?
-
What are you so excited about? Like what makes you different?
-
We were just like, oh, well, let me tell you all the things that
-
make and I'm sure lots of pastors are like your church is,
-
Amazing whatever, but our church is amazing, and we're so
-
thankful and so proud and so blessed.
-
And it when we get to, he was like, you may have already said
-
that, the, I ain't say nothing. Okay?
-
When we were walking, and I remember feeling like this, when
-
you're going through Seasons, where you don't know where God's
-
taking you sometimes when you're going places, you're like, well
-
is this what God has for me? Is this where I'm supposed to
-
be? Is this what I'm supposed to be
-
doing? Or I'm going to get a word and
-
God's going to tell me you're supposed to move here?
-
Who's there? But we were so happy.
-
So blessed and thankful that as we're walking through all of
-
these amazing places, we know where work that we are exactly
-
where were supposed to be. We were just looking for mantels
-
to pick up. We were looking for inspiration.
-
We were looking for a word of encouragement just because our
-
community, you know, just to bring here to share it with all
-
of you or what God's doing in the body of Christ across the
-
world, right? So we're just receiving, but
-
can't wait. Wait to come home to be in
-
Purpose with all of you and just to share what God is doing in
-
the world, in the body of Christ.
-
So that's all I have to say, I love you all.
-
So if I had to, if I had to name our trip, it would be mantels
-
and chicken for sure. Amen.
-
Mantels and chicken picked up a lot of chicken.
-
And a lot of mantles will share some stories with you guys, but
-
we have a lot to process. I will reiterate, what PJ said.
-
Now try not to be dramatic. Like we're super grateful.
-
We have something super special and you don't really get to
-
under. What's here is so special.
-
It's worth moving to be here. It's special But it wouldn't be
-
special without you guys. And we missed you guys like
-
authentically, missed you guys and we're very, very grateful.
-
I say this not as a cop out but I'm really glad that we did not
-
build from a lot of money because when it's time to hire
-
people, we going to hire family. Now, if you family and and trash
-
in a certain area, we're not going to hire you.
-
Not just hiring you because you've been here for a long time
-
now, huh? but I really do want to do life
-
with love quests and I'm very excited and I'm grateful for how
-
you guys love our children, how some of you protect us and how
-

-
to sit here and tell you all about it, but we'll wait.

-
proud of every last one of you. We got so far to go, but that's
-
only because the standard that's on our house as only because the
-
anointing on our house we've been given much.

So much is required but super proud of every single person
-
that touches Is this platform? We do not take it for granted.
-
We're not take you for granted and we are committed to God to

That's very important to know because there are some pastors
-
who will preach to you on one day and homie.
