  21. So I say thank you. For creating a vessel to give me

  22. from to and fro safely. But I do understand and that we

  23. did not go up and come down because they fly.

  24. Well, it's your grace and mercy that kept us because I know I'm

  25. somebody and I Know The Enemy would love me to be gone.

  26. So every time I wake up I understand why hell is mad.

  27. So Lord From This Day Forward. May I may we never walk up here

  28. again. Casually may we understand the

  29. power of the Gospel rather people receive it or not.

  30. It is the gospel that has transformed lives of thousands

  31. of years. It is the only word that has

  32. never faded. It is the only word we can can

  33. can count on and that's governments change their minds

  34. as friends changed, their minds as people, waiver as the culture

  35. changes, as economies go up and down, lord, you stay the same.

  36. May we never ever get too familiar with them.

  37. So God me tonight. There's something may flicker in

  38. our soul. In Jesus name, amen cha do, my

  39. best articulate this and I think we're getting ready to head into

  40. a new series on Sundays, possibly starting, not this

  41. week. But next week Elder, John and

  42. Pastor Dylan did a phenomenal job at setting up a Leo.

  43. Thank you. All you guys that get you 5

  44. minutes or 10 minutes. Phenomenal job we raised in

  45. soldiers. Like the vision said we would we

  46. were we will equip. I find what I'm sharing tonight

  47. is very, very crucial, very important.

  48. Let me just jump into it. Tonight, I want to talk from the

  49. idea same same, same area. We've been dealing with as far

  50. as realm, but tonight I'm going to talk about, Let It Burn not,

  51. cuz it's been fires. Okay?

  52. It's just so you won't. So you won't think I'm trying to

  53. piggyback off of fire. Like I'm a little more creative

  54. than that. Now, did y'all download?

  55. No, it's all good. It'll be up in a second.

  56. My bad. I forgot.

  57. I had to tell y'all the message was already.

  58. Y'all should have knew that. Amen.

  59. Well, I got a couple of things out of my hip I could I could

  60. share with my phone that While they get that, I don't want you

  61. to miss it. Our relationship.

  62. This is just, this is no. Order is just things that Lord

  63. shared with me while I was going.

  64. I'm just going to hit you out the notebook.

  65. Our relationship with God is not about obedience.

  66. It's about devotion. If your relationship is about

  67. obedience your slave, not a son. Your relationship is not God,

  68. tell me what to do and I'll do it.

  69. That's legalistic. Your relationship is about

  70. devotion. Not about your do's and don'ts

  71. your, your, your you missed the marks.

  72. It's not about, none of that. It's about your devotion.

  73. It's about no matter how I messed up last week, I'm still

  74. devoted. And it's in my devotion that I'm

  75. going to be transformed David. David couldn't possibly, hold

  76. his sins above his head, and have a relationship like he did

  77. with the Lord, but it was in his awareness of God's grace and

  78. mercy that he had a deeper Revelation than most about the

  79. love of God. Learn how to do things hard

  80. easy. Learn how to do the hard things

  81. easily. Don't put it up.

  82. Just let me know when you do got it in, then then then I'll get

  83. back there. I got way too much.

  84. Sorry people. Make aggressive mistakes.

  85. Not passive mistakes fail. Trying intentionally.

  86. Don't passively make a mistake and then you because you were

  87. passive that's your excuse for why it didn't happen.

  88. Well, if I would have tried harder.

  89. Well, I didn't even put my all into that because we end up not

  90. trying at all being afraid of failure.

  91. Champs are afraid to fail. I'll get it yet.

  92. Huh. Three seconds.

  93. Three minutes. I was ready to go.

  94. Okay, that's okay. Not yet.

  95. Okay, it's all good. Are the Lord tell me, he said,

  96. reach as many people as you possibly can.

  97. You don't need a strategy to win.

  98. Souls, let me. Let me rewind it.

  99. You don't need a strategy to witness.

  100. So start waiting for perfect circumstances to do what you

  101. were created to do. The cool thing about winning

  102. Souls is you can be unemployed and still win souls.

  103. So you don't need a job to win souls.

  104. You don't even need a job for purpose.

  105. Your purpose is not employment. Your purpose is to worship.

  106. Number one, number two, is the ministry of reconciliation.

  107. Do not forget that, God is co laboring with us in the Harvest,

  108. which mean he has a part to do. We shouldn't be trying to win

  109. souls. That aren't ready to be one.

  110. Okay. I'm going to talk to you so you

  111. can stop being disappointed because you did that person you

  112. know is hard headed. God, get some ripe.

  113. And then he leads you or he leads them to you when they're

  114. ready to be one. Where co-laborers he's the lord

  115. of the Harvest. The point is is are you ready

  116. when he sends them? Alright, alright.

  117. Alright. The world does not have to

  118. attack the church. We're attacking ourselves.

  119. And here's the cold part about the Bible.

  120. It says A House. Divided cannot stand.

  121. No wonder the church is toe up. We do it in music.

  122. We can't just rap about Jesus and how good he is and tell our

  123. story. We got to tear down all the

  124. rappers. We got to tear down other

  125. artists, we got to tear down other pastors.

  126. We got to tear down we fighting against ourselves devil, don't

  127. got to do nothing. Now they love quest.

  128. I love when a given like this because this for whoever,

  129. whoever this is for I heard this when I was out there you will

  130. never have authority over dings. You are entertained by Yeah.

  131. Okay. That's that's the one Lord.

  132. Okay, we'll park there for a second.

  133. Amen, you can never have authority over things.

  134. You are entertained by. You trying to pray the Lord,

  135. help you overcome lusts but you entertained by Luss.

  136. I raised, hallelujah, amen. Raise one right there.

  137. That's when you raise one. We Ready.

  138. Pray for us, y'all. Iron sharpens iron.

  139. Not aluminum. Okay, okay.

  140. What do you mean by that pasture?

  141. We especially in this season, we got to hang out.

  142. If just assumed your iron, you got to hang out with iron.

  143. You've been wasting time with aluminum.

  144. And that's why you're not sharp iron sharpens iron, not alone

  145. with him. You've been, you've been, you've

  146. been, you've been sharing all kinds of Revelation with

  147. aluminum Amen, we're gonna park right there.

  148. Right there. Right there.

  149. There we go. Let it burn, living in the realm

  150. of passion, living in the realm of passion.

  151. Living in the realm of passion, Let It Burn.

  152. I think of scriptures like let your light shine.

  153. Well, I think of a rise and shine, there's no glory.

  154. There's no Shine without passion.

  155. And what I do understand is a lot of us around.

  156. Here has come from passionate passionless, churches,

  157. passionless families. And we have this thing in our

  158. mind that Charisma you can't be passionate and not charismatic.

  159. Let me help you. Charisma and passion goes

  160. together and I don't know what kind of passion you got that,

  161. you don't express, if I got a wonder if you passionate you

  162. ain't passionate. Don't trip.

  163. I'm just getting warm. I'm just getting my feet wet.

  164. Getting back, trying to figure out what Elder John and all

  165. y'all preachers, then sprayed in the soil, I'm working it out.

  166. I should not have to guess if you're passionate.

  167. I should not have to guess if you're saved.

  168. I should not have to wonder. If you were excited about being

  169. alive, you should be an expression of what life is of

  170. what Joy is. Okay, living in the realm of

  171. passion. The realm of passion.

  172. All right. Let's dive in.

  173. You got all the slides or just title page.

  174. Amen. You got it.

  175. Okay, because I'm ready to go. All right, passion says I cannot

  176. settle. I cannot sit and watch.

  177. I will wrestle till it changes. Nah, this ain't it.

  178. I will live and die for this passion.

  179. Passion, don't mean loud. Passion is an action word just

  180. like love is it's a verb to me? It is because passion drives you

  181. to action. I should see your passion.

  182. Here's the thing is everybody is passionate about something and

  183. that's why you are successful at failure.

  184. You're successful at lusts, don't nobody, got out preach on

  185. lusts. Don't mind.

  186. Gotta teach you how to lie don't.

  187. Nobody got to teach you how to hide.

  188. Don't, nobody gotta teach you how to send, what are you

  189. passionate about? And this is something.

  190. The Lord is, is challenging me and challenging us on Oh man.

  191. Stay stay. I can't settle for how my city

  192. is. I can't settle for the dad that

  193. I am today. I can't settle for the husband.

  194. I am today, I'm going to be passionate about being a better

  195. husband. I'm going to be passionate about

  196. being a better preacher. A better a better Pastor.

  197. I'm going to be passionate about it.

  198. Passion is fuel. If you ain't got no passion.

  199. You won't eat. You won't be pretty little car.

  200. That's something I can't understand.

  201. Sometimes you see a real nice fancy car on the side of the

  202. freeway, how your car break down this some cars just don't

  203. supposed to break down, they don't look right on the side of

  204. the freeway. I can't sit and watch this.

  205. I can't sit and watch people. Go to hell.

  206. I can't sit and watch a family go without Maybe I can't help

  207. the family today. You don't wait till you get

  208. money to respond to Poverty, Jesus solution, to Poverty, was

  209. preaching the gospel. He preached the gospel to the

  210. poor. Let me help you poverty.

  211. Is not a lack of money to buy product of you, but you could be

  212. wealthy and have a poverty spirit.

  213. I will wrestle till it changes. Jacob, I'm not letting go.

  214. You're going to change my name. You're going to change my

  215. circumstances. I will not let go until it

  216. changes. Something gotta shift.

  217. Ain't no ain't no ain't no victim.

  218. Ain't no pity party. I know, I still got the same

  219. symptoms and signs, but I'm not letting go of the promise to the

  220. promise grabs. A hold of me.

  221. Nah, this ain't it. The same God's best.

  222. Passion. If you cannot live and die for

  223. it, it ain't worth your passion. I'm a deal with this a little

  224. bit because we got to stop giving away passion.

  225. You giving people passion your you ever, you ever get excited

  226. about something and you passionate about something.

  227. And then you like, Did you hear what I said?

  228. And they got excited. When somebody gotta tell you,

  229. they excited. When they tell you, that was

  230. funny. It wasn't funny.

  231. That was funny. If you can't live and die for

  232. it, it ain't worth your passion. I'm getting ready to talk about

  233. one piece is Stewart in your passion.

  234. Everybody got passion for something.

  235. Some people got passion to sleep.

  236. You passionate about food, you passionate about fashion, you

  237. passionate about all kinds of stuff but the question is is

  238. your passion invested somewhere that's going to get you a Godly

  239. return. Where are you sewing?

  240. Your passion. Wait, are you ready?

  241. Where are you caring too much? I think care has carried the

  242. church. To paralysis.

  243. Because Witten, Jesus, do that Woody.

  244. Let's look at Jesus. Jesus.

  245. Kept it. Push in and he wasn't sitting

  246. and nobody's pity party man with the Mac.

  247. Get up, bro. You want to walk and get up?

  248. I can see him like, get up. If you get up, I'm sorry.

  249. I ain't got time for no funerals.

  250. I know that's your daddy, but let the dead bury the dead.

  251. Let's go. You want to follow me?

  252. Oh, Rich ruler. I don't care.

  253. You, sell your stuff. Come with me.

  254. Oh, you don't want to buy? What what Jesus are we talking

  255. about? He's like, man, Delta.

  256. Then there's always going to be poor people.

  257. Listen. Like that.

  258. Let me, let me help you out. We're gonna partner with people

  259. who hand out food, we're going to hand out food, sometimes, but

  260. we knocked the, we not the pantry Ministry.

  261. So anybody come here is like, oh my God, we and Wiley.

  262. Let me tell you something, who we going to hand sandwiches out

  263. two, and five years in this neighborhood.

  264. Y'all see, all of the vet, they not gonna need sandwiches in the

  265. condos. So I got putting us in the

  266. middle of influence and resources.

  267. Right. Let me tell you something, the

  268. government handles food, and read many people on the streets,

  269. got enough resources, and they qualify for him.

  270. So, I'm not saying we're not going to men with a perfect spot

  271. on his little hot cocoa in the alley.

  272. Alleyway, cold cold, you know me.

  273. Are we gonna do? So we don't partner with people,

  274. we don't hand out, we going, we're going to partner with

  275. people at, with families at the school and giveaway, backpacks,

  276. and, and Christmas baskets. And we gonna do things like

  277. that. But what I'm saying that's not

  278. our major here, here's the thing.

  279. That shouldn't be the church's major.

  280. That might be a pair of churches, major that might be on

  281. somebody's heart. That comes to a church to say.

  282. Man, I really have a heart for the homeless, okay, awesome.

  283. But just because you have a heart for the homeless Don't

  284. expect the whole church to have a hard for homeless.

  285. You should expect a church to support your burden. if it's of

  286. the Lord, right and help you get strategy and give you resources

  287. and have your back with some things.

  288. But man the church has been a soup kitchen in a way that has

  289. kept people on the streets. Just as much as the government

  290. has like we settle in for a sandwiches and he's the Healer.

  291. Right. Like what like why we won't just

  292. like why we won't just fast and pray.

  293. Let's get some power in this church, and let's see.

  294. People get, let's see some more Kyle's walk-in, right?

  295. You like can we get them off sandwiches?

  296. Like, the sandwiches is even better.

  297. Hey, it ain't like we make it like whole grain days bread.

  298. Right? Organic cheese turkey breast

  299. with no nothing in it. But turkey like man, we feed

  300. them stuff. Spaghetti, Wonder white bread.

  301. Amen. You got to ask what your passion

  302. is invested in. Why why?

  303. Why, why why? I remember, my Michael was

  304. little, I don't know what got into him. but I forget what we

  305. talked about in the all he kept saying was why For five minutes.

  306. Why why? And every answer to, why has a

  307. why And you got to go as far as you can down that white rain.

  308. like like if like if I'm about to get in this argument with

  309. you, Why? No, sometime before you give

  310. that person your business. Why is it important for you to

  311. tell them off? That's passion you given them.

  312. That's passion now that passion can be redirected.

  313. When you go on a coffee meetings, all the why is it?

  314. Cuz you just need company, you codependent, or you really

  315. trying to win this person. Soul, or what's your, why look

  316. for a job? Why if his money just great

  317. money, go, I just need some extra money this time getting

  318. this job, right? What's the why you don't have

  319. that kind of time? There's many things that God

  320. showed me on this trip. When I got a chance to shake the

  321. hands of greatness sit in the room of greatness. one thing

  322. that I walked away with, Is that I was in a room with people with

  323. Elite passion. And it would make a lot of us in

  324. here. Look, so passionless Elite

  325. purpose, that makes a person only go to wake up and go.

  326. Get a go, go to work and pay bills.

  327. That's it. And you see these people, no

  328. matter, the religion, put their lives on the line.

  329. And give their passion to changing cultural, agendas to

  330. get in strip clubs, off a corners and building housing for

  331. elders, time out. They look around Plant

  332. themselves in a community. Educate themselves lead rally

  333. cast Vision to the point where the city wants to give them

  334. buildings because they got vision.

  335. And when you understand this, when you got Vision to change

  336. and make a better place better, you won't have to buy no

  337. buildings. Passion there's a fight for our

  338. passion is what he is, what he's sharing with me.

  339. There's a fight for your passion, there's a fight for

  340. your passion, mark 14 talks about, he comes for and forth

  341. 14. Plus he talks about the enemy

  342. comes immediately for the sake of the word.

  343. Didn't want on down. You can see where it talks about

  344. the word is stolen because of the cares.

  345. Of this world. You got passion for the things

  346. of this world. You care too much about the

  347. things of the world. Affirmation.

  348. When you've already been certified.

  349. You gonna settle for affirmation instead of certification.

  350. The lower life, the lower the lower, the Lord you're going to

  351. take that. There's a there's a fight for

  352. passion. Here's what the scripture says,

  353. hope deferred makes the heart. What sick, there's a fight for

  354. your passion, for Samuel. 30 says this and David inquired of

  355. the Lord saying, shall I pursue, we've heard this story many a

  356. times David comes back. He's distressed Bible says he

  357. encouraged his self. The men's families and have been

  358. kidnapped Village. Burned, people are turning on

  359. David and David encouraged himself, and he goes to the

  360. Lord. Shall I pursue this troop?

  361. Shall overtake them? The Lord answered him.

  362. Pursue it for you shall surely overtake them and without fail

  363. recover all look at the words he's chosen, shall I pursue

  364. whatever you have passion about you pursuing, whatever you

  365. pursue, you have passion about Then he says, shall I overdoing

  366. overtaking nothing without passion approaching a war?

  367. Passively is not victory. Some of you wondering why you in

  368. a season so long because you're going through it without passion

  369. and without fight. The Lord answered man.

  370. You got the right attitude. I'm not about to put that

  371. absolutely clearly with the with the words you have chosen with

  372. the question you have asked me clearly, You Got What It Takes

  373. and then you read as he was going, 200 men fell off, because

  374. they was tired. Oh they ran out of passion so

  375. they couldn't fight no more and this what I'm saying over the

  376. years, think of some of the people who you met Miss but they

  377. just couldn't keep up with your passion for whatever you was

  378. going after. Some of you had a different kind

  379. of passion. One of the first people to have

  380. a certain type of passion for the things of God in your

  381. family. And you see the people, when you

  382. slipping away, because passion is drawing You, One Direction

  383. you find people with passion for.

  384. Something else trying to pull you back.

  385. And I do understand that through the anointing there is passion

  386. imparted and when you walk away from what God gave you passion

  387. for into some males, you going to wonder why you burnt out in

  388. the thing you like, but didn't have anointing for it, having

  389. talent for something and have an anointing for some is two

  390. different things. No, I'm up here, man.

  391. I'm I'm up here. I flew in this morning.

  392. I ain't getting no sleep last night, but I'm up here full of

  393. passion because I'm called to do this.

  394. Not going to wear sleepy out here.

  395. Some folks want you to know that I worked all day long.

  396. They come in tired, you offer him some water, not as, okay, I

  397. can't even pick the cup of tonight.

  398. Feeling sorry for you because you worked all day.

  399. First of all, you chose to work How about the blessing you got

  400. to work all day? Now you got 10 hours of seed to

  401. sow somewhere. The blessing to have a job all

  402. day. If is that bad?

  403. Quit. Oh Jesus.

  404. John 3 says this for here is the way God loved here.

  405. Is the way God loved. You got saved our passion.

  406. Greater, is he? That's in my boring self and he

  407. that's in the world. I went to look up the word

  408. passion in the second definition said Christ.

  409. The Passion of Christ. You don't get no more passionate

  410. than that to die for somebody else.

  411. Wrongfully accused and don't say a word.

  412. Oh, we all snitching. You tell you not taking me from

  413. Courthouse, the courthouse at all.

  494. ain't Rebellion keeping a lot of people from church.

  495. I'm preaching right now we want to look at the heathens um

  496. excuse me that's just saying that rebellion and Heathen is

  497. stronger than the blood. No no no no.

  498. How many of you? Did he keep while you was in the

  499. club? It was grace and mercy kept me,

  500. high not need grace, and mercy and keep me high.

  501. But it kept me while I was hot. He's smoking, you got that car,

  502. honking people have some close calls, some close calls with out

  503. in the world. Trying has trying to one foot in

  504. one foot out right now, let me help you out.

  505. God kept you, what? Wait a minute.

  506. If you agree, he kept you then. Why would he keep you?

  507. When you Running from him. if then, by the time he snatched

  508. you up, You either came straight to love quest, or it wasn't that

  509. much after you found some church.

  510. That was kind of just to get you.

  511. You don't see this like you know that you know, on the road when

  512. you traveling they got the truck stops.

  513. Maybe you don't really want to do all the bathroom at a truck

  514. stop. That's just some little quick

  515. little something to hold you over anybody ever been to a hold

  516. it hold you over Baptist Church. Right?

  517. You may not know it at first, but then when you found the

  518. place, you were supposed to be at you as like, oh, okay.

  519. That was the Lord against you in a hold your over.

  520. So you don't, so you don't die. You don't saying.

  521. So don't be mad at the bathroom on the side of the road because

  522. you would have peed on yourself. If you didn't had a washroom on

  523. the side. Say a thank God for truckstop.

  524. Say, thank God for truck stops right.

  525. We need truck stops in our life, but Truck stops and a place to

  526. grow. There's some stuff you just

  527. don't do that truck stops? Nah, I might have to hold that

  528. one one, way we know all number one at truck stops, and that's

  529. it. Right there.

  530. You know, how do we translate this?

  531. So when you was at your truck stop Church, you got involved a

  532. little bit. And then for some of y'all, you

  533. was wondering why they didn't promote you.

  534. It wasn't them. You wasn't supposed to get

  535. rooted. This God's work here.

  536. And this is why it's dangerous to look at the church.

  537. Because normally, when God trying to transition you start

  538. looking at what's wrong with the church.

  539. No, no, I'm not leaving because what's wrong, because what's

  540. wrong for me is right, for somebody else.

  541. Right now, I bless you. Thank you for the little truck.

  542. Stop. I needed that truck, stop,

  543. because I would have been doing the number one outside somewhere

  544. on the freeway. No.

  545. Thank God for the truck stop. Come on.

  546. Say thank God for the truck. Stop.

  547. Says we that's why we don't look back.

  548. The Lord was keeping you at the truck stop.

  549. Because if you went one more year where you was you would

  550. have been absolutely dead by. Now, you would have made one

  551. decision that would have took your life a whole nother

  552. Direction. Lord didn't save you once he

  553. keeps on saving you. But Christ, prove God's

  554. passionate love for us by dying in our place right at the truck

  555. stop he was even like God don't get them just chilled killed

  556. till Dad, I'm Bobby, stop Bobby, stop.

  557. Starbuck, man, I should be jail dead for sure, stupid decisions,

  558. stupid decisions divorce. Nah, Why we were sinning Christ

  559. died? Now, you got to get this

  560. passion. Wasn't waiting for the right

  561. circumstances. Passion said, I have to do what

  562. I can now. His life, then matter for your

  563. life now. That's how powerful the blood is

  564. but this is more powerful. It would his love wouldn't be

  565. that great if he died when you got it, right?

  566. He said no no no I actually got to show him my love while they

  567. messing up. The first person to lose with

  568. you, Jesus, he lost with you before you even lost.

  569. This is passion. He couldn't wait for us to

  570. change. He couldn't wait not like man, I

  571. can't wait for y'all to change. No, like I can't I can't wait

  572. for you guys to get it, right? I got to do this now.

  573. He was too anxious to save you that he had to save you before

  574. that some passion. I don't even know how they gonna

  575. turn out. But gonna let me get, let me go

  576. ahead die for him. I don't know what decisions they

  577. going to make but just in case they go that way let me just put

  578. the blood on it. You ever think about you ever

  579. think about you? Some people as foolish.

  580. They like all he knew I was going to make that decision.

  581. Um he might have new but he didn't choose that decision.

  582. That's why he died just in case you made the foolish choice, you

  583. still had a road back. He was desperate for us and

  584. that's why we can't just sing in vain, I'm desperate, Lord.

  585. And you got to open yourself up to, he's desperate for you too.

  586. Are you gotta get Covenant? You gotta get some Covenant

  587. Revelation. It's not a one-way worship

  588. service. You're singing unto him, he's

  589. singing over. You, you're sending Praises up,

  590. he sent him. He's sending blessings down.

  591. Right? You're pouring out.

  592. He's sitting down strike. Passion is as why you got to get

  593. this passion is as vital as character.

  594. See, even when David's character.

  595. Was out of whack. He still had passion for the

  596. Lord. Is he sometimes this is where we

  597. get messed up C on. We end up sending when we

  598. haven't had no passion. For Jesus, see what keeps a

  599. person on the right. Track is their passion for the

  600. Lord, you're not just worshiping and praising for something bad

  601. to happen to you. That day, you can have strength.

  602. But what about having strength to bounce back or not quit.

  603. When you do mess up, when you do, make a dumb decision, you

  604. somehow think that your praise don't count.

  605. Now you messed up No, matter of fact, that moment God, created a

  606. space for you to worship him because he knew down the road,

  607. you was impossibly going to make that dumb decision.

  608. But you got some in the bank to keep you passion is as vital as

  609. character. Quite frankly, what helps me

  610. work on my character. It's my passion for the Lord.

  611. I really do want to please the father.

  612. All right, so I'm some people you just try.

  613. That's why it's works. That's why I was like aha.

  614. Again another 30 minutes. Huh?

  615. Another service? Huh.

  616. Where's your passion? You got more passion to go to

  617. work. But my passion, your passion and

  618. all of this is going to make sense.

  619. This passion thing is setting up something.

  620. We don't dive into over the next few weeks.

  621. Psalm 37, find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh and he

  622. will give you what you desire the most time.

  623. Find your delight and true Pleasures.

  624. Your true. Pleasure in your, find your

  625. Delight. Find your affection.

  626. What has your affection? They don't want you stop giving

  627. them your affection. They keep lying to you, stop

  628. giving them your faction stop caring.

  629. You can love them and not care for that drama.

  630. You don't you don't get your love intertwined. like like,

  631. like, like, um, I've got to say I have to like you Oh no man.

  632. Nothing except a level. You can't really like someone,

  633. you don't know, but you can love someone you don't know.

  634. And you getting caught up in your fields and somebody got

  635. your passion, somebody got you affection and this is what makes

  636. it hard for us to move on from old Seasons.

  637. This is why soul ties are dangerous.

  638. It's who I sex without it at the context of marriage someone who

  639. I was called To Die For it's so dangerous.

  640. Passion is a very precious gift. And I think we take it for

  641. granted and we put our passion into everything.

  642. Ice cream chicken come on tell me something.

  643. You're passionate about Nike and come on.

  644. Come on bone broth man. Get out of here.

  645. Sports your business, Sports education. everyone has

  646. different passions give God the right to direct your life and as

  647. you trust him along the way, you'll find Heap, he pulled it

  648. off perfectly It takes passion to trust God.

  649. It takes passion to not give up. Hope I make it a little further.

  650. Psalm 84 to says deep within me, are these lovesick longings.

  651. Desires and Daydreams of living in Union with you, man is

  652. brother nor to talk to the Lord when I'm near you, my heart and

  653. my soul will sing and worship with my joyful.

  654. Songs of you, my true source, and spring of life.

  655. You my source, look at this man's patch, don't forget

  656. adulteress murderer, Lovesick longings desires and Daydreams

  657. who you meditating on. Who gets your mental passion,

  658. you know, the phone with him all the time, then when you off the

  659. phone in your mind, you still on the phone.

  660. You looking on the phone to see, if they called how many time you

  661. go swipe it. Punch in the code.

  662. That's all passion. That's all energy.

  663. That's all misdirect. And so then the enemy come

  664. through the back door, you know, when you look the other way, you

  665. like it, the enemy knock on the window over here, you go over

  666. here, you got his homie knocking on the window over here and he

  667. just go through the back door. You distracted, you got your

  668. face. You better start making people

  669. work for your affection. Hey you better you better put a

  670. very rich price on your affection.

  671. You ever catch yourself yelling at somebody and just be, why

  672. might you be? Why am I even talking to you?

  673. Like, let me, let me tell you something that that is not rude.

  674. If you say it, right? Here's what I understand

  675. sometime, if you like, I'm a passionate person.

  676. So sometime if I get in a heated conversation, a heated

  677. conversation? Does not mean an argument a

  678. heated. Come, I'm a passionate person

  679. and passionate people, their voices.

  680. Get I'm not disrespecting you. I'm just a little low volume on

  681. my just right. Did you serious?

  682. Got serious now? But then you'll find people that

  683. try to ship. Why are you yelling?

  684. Why are you being disrespectful? I'm not just passionate.

  685. I didn't cuss at you. I didn't talk down to you.

  686. I didn't belittle you. I just I just said you didn't

  687. have to do that a little louder. Hold on.

  688. How can I do this? Yeah, I got to be very careful

  689. when I say this because some people will take certain things

  690. and be like, that's right. Pastor know some of you are,

  691. some of you are Reckless with your passion.

  692. Some of you are distractions with your pet passion, still has

  693. to be skillful. All right, but what I will say

  694. with that in mind, stop letting people dim your light and make

  695. you less passionate person and there's some of you in here, I

  696. feel like as I Was preparing, the Lord is has some of you have

  697. lost your passion, will give a few scriptures.

  698. I'm a pray for some of you but some of you have lost your

  699. passion. Sometime mom's we you raising

  700. your little babies. If Right?

  701. You put your dreams. You put your goals on the side,

  702. you lose passion. Lord wants you to get that

  703. passion back. Psalm 63 says, oh god of my

  704. life. I'm lovesick for you in this

  705. weary Wilderness. I thirst with the deepest

  706. longings to love you more with Cravings in my heart.

  707. That can't be described such yearning grips, my soul for you,

  708. my God, Your passion should be directed towards your purpose.

  709. Not your mood. Your passion should be directed

  710. toward your purpose. Not your mood.

  711. What has your passion or energy? That doesn't have God's purpose.

  712. I'm challenging Us in here for the next little bit to watch

  713. where our passion is directed. And I'm challenging you to pull

  714. your passion and energy back in places that are not good ground.

  715. We just think Elder John just money we saw.

  716. But you so time you so energy. Stop thinking that the only way

  717. to the top is grind. But part of grinding is resting.

  718. I know there's a lot of stuff out there in the world, but the

  719. Bible says, what we should be grinding to.

  720. And what we should be laboring for is to enter his rest.

  721. No one's saying not work hard, but you have to understand that

  722. there's other things, that make light that brings wholeness

  723. right. You, you gotta know, I need to

  724. spend time with my family. No, I could go make that little

  725. extra extra. With him, we going to read all

  726. about it when you get divorced. No, don't use your job.

  727. Don't use your career as a place to hide and then the energy you

  728. got at work because for some of us that's our well that's the

  729. place we hide. Keep that same energy when you

  730. walk in the house at home. Here's what the Lord said.

  731. Here's what he's very, if you ain't heard nothing else all

  732. night, here's what the Lord saying, Terrence son.

  733. I need their undivided attention for just one season.

  734. I played a keys myself on that one.

  735. Now you wasn't doing it. Wasn't that?

  736. I've just felt like playing the keys.

  737. Listen, you got to write this down.

  738. This is I need you to get the details of the word.

  739. This is very specific. He said, I need their attention,

  740. not their request. Let me help you.

  741. He heard you already. He got about 10 pages of the

  742. same request, he heard you real clear, all the Angels Gabe Real.

  743. Moses, everybody know what you want, everybody.

  744. They got a picture of your car, you believe in for in heaven

  745. right now. Everybody.

  746. Everybody know what you want. Okay, he's saying for one, I

  747. ain't never heard this before because God always wants your

  748. attention. But he's saying that there's

  749. something he is trying to do where he needs your undivided

  750. attention for just one season. This is less about your request.

  751. This is more about your attention.

  752. This does not mean, don't go to work.

  753. It's not make this don't mean drop out of school, then say

  754. none of that. It's really where you're putting

  755. your energy and where you put in your time and it's prioritizing.

  756. It's not letting people get on your last nerve.

  757. Stop being so easy to find a nerve, how you on your last

  758. nerve your last nerve. For two and a half years was at

  759. home. You didn't spend on nerves if

  760. you just use at home. I need their undivided attention

  761. for just one season. I need them not to worry about

  762. breakthrough, but you're worried for breakthrough is stopping.

  763. Your breakthrough, breakthrough is not something you worry

  764. about. he said they're good with their lips, but their heart He

  765. said, I hear them, I hear a whole lot of talking request and

  766. songs in the land and but their heart.

  767. He even warned. This is going to be people.

  768. Lord, I did Miracles, I get all this stuff for you.

  769. He said, I don't know. Who, who are you, huh?

  770. Yeah, false prophets. will perform Miracles like What's

  771. gonna make you different? Is you have a devotion, you have

  772. a relationship with the Lord. He knows you, you know, him, he

  773. said, in his season, is very important.

  774. I am not doing rescue missions. I'm doing heart transplants.

  775. What does he say? You're not about to go live in a

  776. ditch and asked me to get you out.

  777. He's only look, we're going to see the greatest fruit produced

  778. in people who want to live for the Lord period And it moves

  779. from a desire to a lifestyle. It's not getting this season, is

  780. not good enough to be like, oh my God, I love you, Lord.

  781. Whatever you tell me to do, I think about it.

  782. It's about who wants change, who is ready to come out of hiding

  783. and leaving the old behind? It's enough acting like you got

  784. it all together. This is the season where at the

  785. altar, this is the season while our attention is on him, he's

  786. fighting some battles for us and your stuff is going to tap you

  787. on the shoulder. And say, hey, I'm here.

  788. This is what we this, what you've been talking about, it's

  789. not the season to worry about stuff.

  790. All right, John to Isaiah 9. Matthew 3.

  791. Okay, cool. I could do this in 10 minutes.

  792. I could do this 10 minutes. Watch me though.

  793. He told the merchants get these things out of here.

  794. Don't you dare commercialize my father's house?

  795. I want y'all to see this. This is so delicious.

  796. This is so good. Watch this.

  797. That's when his disciples said, oh my God, I remember the

  798. scripture said. I am consumed with a fire.

  799. Passion to keep your house. Pure Okay, okay, the it

  800. Amplified, classic says it this way.

  801. Then to those who sold the doves.

  802. He said, take these things away out of here.

  803. Make not my father's house, a house of merchandise, a

  804. Marketplace, a sales shop or a place where you just come and

  805. request, a bunch of stuff, the god of things, and his disciples

  806. remembered that it is written. Zeal.

  807. Another word for passion, the fervor of love.

  808. For your house will eat me up. Oh he said my passion for your

  809. house is going to consume my life and that's what he's saying

  810. me. How many people actually don't

  811. come to church and actually care about the mission?

  812. I mean, people are going to allow themselves to be consumed

  813. about lost souls and about what's on the Father's.

  814. Heart, go to work, but you gotta see your clients and your

  815. employees and your co-workers as Souls that the Lord wants not,

  855. dealing and right, living beginning.

  856. Now, And Lasting always. Here's how it's going to happen.

  857. The Zeal of God of the Angel armies will do all of this.

  858. The Passion of God is going to accomplish all of this right

  859. now, his bride needs passion. His pride, his bride needs

  860. urgency everything, we do basketball games, there's a

  861. bigger reason why we I need y'all at the games, we're notice

  862. that. Yeah, we want to win, but we

  863. only want to win so that we can have a position in the culture.

  864. That we will, then be able to have influence.

  865. Yeah, we want to win, but we want a chair.

  866. We want to, we are, I love seeing the video when day and

  867. them was over there. Trying to keep the beat you was

  868. doing all. I'm like, that's church folks.

  869. Get him out of here. This folks look like, oh, you're

  870. actually, like, really enjoy life.

  871. Oh and it is like that if you don't think it's not like the

  872. book of Acts when they was like man these folks drunk Elder John

  873. drunk for sure. I got to read this.

  874. I got to read this. I'm baptizing you here in the

  875. river. Turning your old life into a

  876. kingdom for Life Kingdom Life. The real action comes next.

  877. The main character in this drama compared to him.

  878. I'm a mere State stagehand. He will ignite the Kingdom Life

  879. within you. What did Jesus?

  880. What did John the Baptist say? Jesus is about to come to ignite

  881. the Kingdom, Life within you a fire within you, the Holy Spirit

  882. within you, changing you from the inside out, he's going to

  883. clean house. So be enthusiastic, keeping your

  884. passion toward him, ball and hot.

  885. Romans 12, Siz radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit, and let

  886. him fill you with excitement as you serve him, let this hope

  887. burst forth within you, releasing a continual Joy, don't

  888. give up in a time of trouble. But commune with him at all

  889. times. Passion is required for winning.

  890. Jesus died for your life, not your death.

  891. So get up and live, man. He died.

  892. So you could live live, he didn't die.

  893. So you can be alive. he died, so you can live He died.

  894. So you could live not be alive. he died, so you can live He

  895. died. So you can like why did I miss

  896. the fide? May we be just like a child

  897. staring at the beauty. May we never lose our what

  898. wonder? And I'll say this passion is

  899. also a choice where I can go from like this.

  900. David encouraged himself. In other words, David stirred

  901. himself up. You gotta hear that, man.

  902. So, I could, I could be in a bad mood, but I can actually do some

  903. things to actually shift and use that bad mood energy into.

  904. Get you ever be in a bad mood? You hop on a bike or you go

  905. exercising and afterwards. You like that's all I needed to

  906. do. So all I needed to do, right?

  907. I want this church to be a place.

  908. So on-farm time off from this day forward, man.

  909. And if it like, if you really in in the core, I'm going to look

  910. at You funny these days because because your passion has nothing

  911. to do with how you feel. Your passion is something that

  912. people that reading, even if I'm tired, when I'm passionate, I

  913. still release a energy. And because I'm filled with the

  914. spirit that energy that I'm releasing is life.

  915. You ever see somebody coming room that really stank, attitude

  916. anger, hey, you ever seen death in people's eyes?

  917. Have you ever seen a bad attitude and people's eyes?

  918. Have you ever seen somebody that's always just like, man

  919. when they walk in the room wild man, they just make me feel or

  920. you hear somebody's voice. And every time, you hear that

  921. person's voice because, you know, of them a certain way, it

  922. makes you feel a certain way, it makes you feel.

  923. I think there's certain voices in your life that make you feel

  924. safe. What, what what what do you

  925. bring to this life to this world?

  926. What energy like what's your energy brand?

  927. Like I want to kick orphan out of here.

  928. I want I want to kick pity party out of here.

  929. I want to pick someone. I'll leave those sad song.

  930. I don't want to walk up here. If your side on this sad, we've

  931. not I'm not going to walk up here.

  932. Because we are a house of life. I want you to think about this.

  933. So where we're going where we going?

  934. Not this Sunday but we're about to get into What our trophy is

  935. what our reward is the Earthly reward of Earthly Champs is this

  936. Trophy? This prize.

  937. But I don't believe that people have effectively really heard.

  938. About Soul winning. So, we're about to get into

  939. this. This series, we're talking about

  940. our reward Kingdom, Champs are only Kingdom Champs because we

  941. win souls. And winning Souls is one of the

  942. easiest things you will ever do, because a huge part of winning

  943. Souls is just witnessing. And when you see how close and

  944. intimate, you are working in the Harvest field with the Lord.

  945. He actually does the hard part. What's the hard part?

  946. He changes people's hearts. You can't change.

  947. Nobody heart. You might be able to change

  948. somebody mind, but you can't change the heart.

  949. But he needs a church, that's what he's telling me.

  950. He lacks churches that he can send the world too.

  951. And they actually not just be brought in, but they be

  952. equipped. May be loved.

  953. Believe it or not. Not every church is ready for

  954. this Latter-Day Harvest. This Latter-Day Harvest is a

  955. different breed, they coming in smelling like marijuana, they

  956. coming in being prostitutes. They coming in with sexual

  957. confusion, they're coming in with all kinds of stuff.

  958. And the last thing you need to be thinking that you got to have

  959. his all the answers. The first thing, Need to have

  960. his love. Second thing we need to have is

  961. our testimony. And there are some practical

  962. things of knowing how to lead people to Jesus.

  963. But folks ain't just coming here to get Jesus.

  964. They come in here to get filled with the Holy Ghost to what the

  965. Lord says. I already told you to harvest is

  966. coming. So I'm this Soul winning series

  967. is actually not about believing for the Harvest to come.

  968. It's actually equipping us for the king tide of harvest that's

  969. coming because the God said is Terrence son I need a church.

  970. That can handle this Great Harvest.

  971. What good is Revival? if folks come in for a high, But

  972. they can't be equipped and discipled for going back out

  973. there. So, as a Church of God has

  974. promised us to harvest, then we need to be spending these next

  975. days, preparing ourselves and you already see it.

  976. Kyle came in Can't wait to share a story and there's more people

  977. coming in. And we're going to see before,

  978. you know it well have to few more tents back there.

  979. We're going to extend the 10th house.

  980. This gonna take about 3-4 months.

  981. For construction and all that stuff.

  982. And thank you guys for filling out the forms.

  983. That's the party getting our building permit.

  984. Okay? We're that close.

  985. They just got to do this study and turn it in.

  986. Okay. But before we go next door.

  987. You'll see. And it can't stop at the table

  988. back there. Fellowship ain't just what God's

  989. saying he want us to do with the Harvest, his fellowship and have

  990. coffee and tea, we will not fumble.

  991. This revival. So he needs committed people.

  992. He needs people that loved him and he needs you to get your

  993. mind off of what you need. And he says, seek me.

  994. He said he that winneth Souls is wise.

  995. Why? Because when you care for what

  996. he cares about, he'll care for what you care about.

  997. I have story after story after Story.

  998. I can complain with the best of you.

  999. But you would never know the stuff that I have went through.

  1000. Because my number one concern is just always been Souls.

  1001. And God provides every single time.

  1002. If your hands were you, our worship, team you come, Come on,

  1003. right, where you are. I want you to pray a specific

  1004. prayer. Is I want you to ask the Lord

  1005. the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart for the Harvest.

  1006. I want you to ask the Lord. To give you what it takes.

  1007. To help you. Lord, give us eyes to see when

  1008. we're out. Getting can you interrupt our

  1009. jog Can-Can, you interrupt Us in the elevator?

  1010. Can you interrupt Us in line at the coffee shop?

  1011. So we could tell somebody Jesus loves you.

  1012. For some of us we need to learn how to pray.

  1013. Because sometimes it's simple and I set it at Strathcona but

  1014. the Lord said no I was just preparing y'all but it was gonna

  1015. be traffic. Cone is going to be y.

  1016. Remember that day? I said, one day I'm gonna be mid

  1017. service and I'm going to say we're going to walk out and we

  1018. gonna go on the streets and we're going to split up and we

  1019. don't go and we going to meet back up in our.

  1020. And we going to tell testimonies Sometime.

  1021. All people don't know if anybody seen the story with me and Julia

  1022. had just checked in the hotel in a Chicago.

  1028. y'all to really hear this. He says, what are you guys

  1029. pastors? Well, since you asked, We were

  1030. like, yeah, he's like, can you guys please pray for me?

  1031. Did you see that? We didn't we didn't have, we

  1032. just have to be available the Lord's already moving on his

  1033. heart. He just said, can you pray for

  1034. me? All right.

  1035. That's that's what's going to happen in.

  1036. Are you prepared? Will you make yourself

  1037. available? Can you pray in the hotel lobby?

  1038. Can you pray in the grocery store?

  1039. You worried about people seeing you pray, it's not illegal to

  1040. pray in public. Not in this country, take

  1041. advantage of the freedom. And the Lord has put me around

  1042. nothing but Soul winners and so I know that's a mandate on my

  1043. life to be to be a soul. Winning Church, never lacks

  1044. anything. So doctor could do back home.

  1045. That's the first time I've ever seen.

  1046. A man on fire will be, will be in the me being here, being the

  1047. movies movie is over. Excuse me before everyone goes.

  1058. What's your name? You said not about you.

  1059. Maybe they don't want you to pray, but you get their name,

  1060. and then you give it to the team.

  1061. And then you pray, we pray for them.

  1062. So, the Lord's about the equip our house.

  1066. sitting right across from Jesse Jackson?

  1067. I didn't plan to go there. Let's be at his 81st, birthday

  1068. party. And the sit there and look at

  1069. him and see all that he's done. I was just a room.

  1071. sacrificed a life to see communities to see, races to see

  1072. people have a better life. And that man at 81 was still

  1073. saying meet me at Operation Push in the morning so we can sign

  1093. Fighting through being accused of certain things, fighting

  1094. through media, trying to take them down and all he's focused

  1095. on his Souls, we got to ask ourselves.

  1096. What are we doing? What are we doing?

  1097. Is for what do we worship this long for?

  1098. What do we pray like this? For the fervor fervor and

  1099. effectual, the passionate prayers of the righteous make

  1100. Power available. So if we going to be this

  1101. passionate Church, how much power do we have to release?

  1109. passion. What I'm telling you tonight

  1132. Hey, you all know it's Pastor appreciation month.

  1133. We've been saying it every week we've been sowing and we will

  1134. continue to. So Galatians 6:6 in the TPT says

    Galatians 6:6

  1135. now listen, listen to this promise.

  1136. Listen to this. Word, get rooted in this.

  1137. We're not just saying, throw money.

  1138. Listen and those who are taught the word must share all good.

  1139. Things with their teacher, a sharing of wealth, takes place

  1140. between them. We receive the word from this

  1141. mighty man of God and this Mighty woman of God, they are

  1142. our teachers and we share wealth with them.

  1143. He said tonight the Lord told us tonight we need a revelation of

  1144. Covenant. We have Covenant with them.

  1145. If you have problems forgiving let me tell you something.

  1146. I have been in meetings with these people with our hers who

  1147. have asked for forgiveness when they didn't really do anything

  1148. wrong but they did it for the sake of unity and because they

  1149. love the Lord and because they have passion for them.

  1150. So if you have challenges forgiving that's what you're

  1151. sowing into exchange. Receive the have from them.

  1152. If you have a hard time loving if you want to love with the

  1153. capacity that they have. So into them, expect that

  1154. receive that. If you're grumpy all the time,

  1155. they are not so into that receive that.

  1156. We're not begging you. This is an opportunity you have

  1157. good soil to so into, don't take that for granted.

  1158. They work hard at keeping their soil rich and guess what?

  1159. The soil of this church is Rich, too.

  1160. So I encourage you to sow into the church.

  1161. I'm telling you You as I stand Here sowing and reaping and

  1162. worshiping and trusting God works.

  1163. So his word with your money, don't just throw it and remember

  1188. things, and amazing Ministries, and all those things.

  1189. And when people would find out that we were Church Planters,

  1190. this one couple said, oh, How are you really?

  1198. We have an unbelievable community of people.

  1199. We are so Rare when we have traveled to other churches and

  1200. Ministries and in all different cities and it just fills our

  1201. heart to be able to brag on our community.

  1202. To talk about our leadership to talk about the hearts of the

  1203. people that serve with us. And people are like, oh, what do

  1204. you like best about your drizzle?

  1205. What are you so excited about? Like what makes you different?

  1206. We were just like, oh, well, let me tell you all the things that

  1211. that, the, I ain't say nothing. Okay?

  1212. When we were walking, and I remember feeling like this, when

  1213. you're going through Seasons, where you don't know where God's

  1214. taking you sometimes when you're going places, you're like, well

  1215. is this what God has for me? Is this where I'm supposed to

  1216. be? Is this what I'm supposed to be

  1217. doing? Or I'm going to get a word and

  1218. God's going to tell me you're supposed to move here?

  1219. Who's there? But we were so happy.

  1220. So blessed and thankful that as we're walking through all of

  1221. these amazing places, we know where work that we are exactly

  1222. where were supposed to be. We were just looking for mantels

  1223. to pick up. We were looking for inspiration.

  1225. community, you know, just to bring here to share it with all

  1226. of you or what God's doing in the body of Christ across the

  1227. world, right? So we're just receiving, but
