  31. I'm just putting it in atmosphere.

  32. This man took we got about four, four people that kind of, and if

  34. that will let people carried away.

  35. Of serving and we'll just be the takers of a church.

  36. I'm not going to be that Pastor and see.

  37. It is what it is. But we're in Apostolic Church,

  38. which caused people to get in alignment with the kingdom of

  39. God. And it's so passive, lazy

  40. attended church and just take take.

  41. Take, it's like I feel you. But for him to have to run the

  42. house sound, the monitor sound and the broadcast.

  43. And we got people in here that just wanted to do church

  44. tonight. But are part of leadership.

  45. Totally fine. So what I'm doing right now, I'm

  46. speaking to the atmosphere of complacency We're trying to

  47. build a championship team here. We're trying to build Legacy and

  48. you don't celebrate an 80 year anniversary without

  49. faithfulness. I'm not dissing.

  50. I know pop up church. This is going to be a church

  51. that sacrifices for the next generation and God we're going

  52. to give God Excellence but for him to have to do stream and

  53. then he can't really pay attention to the house sound.

  54. He's doing his best and the brother can play maggot are.

  55. And I know, see, I wouldn't be doing this.

  56. If I didn't know that he wasn't trying to lead, but there's

  57. flaking people in church Right? We got all kind of excuses but

  58. we'll go. We'll go to work sick for the

  59. made our so we can pay them bills.

  60. Right. and all I'm saying is he should not have to and even if

  61. you watching And you're a part of that Ministry.

  62. He should knock there's a season where if you some stuff you

  63. can't save for, you have to so forth and some of you want

  64. healing and you want breakthrough in your family and

  65. you think you're going to therapy your way through it, or

  66. you going to save your way to your new house.

  67. Some stuff just comes by her sewing sewing great.

  68. You are, you give our friend but but as well as you can sit in

  69. here for two hours on a Sunday, you can sit over there and push

  70. some knobs. Right?

  71. You that Ministry, you get everything right in your ears.

  72. So I know I ain't never. Did you ask anybody?

  73. I've never done this since we've ever started this church, but I

  74. feel God is like, man, if we're really like like the world

  75. record labels, don't have to look for people.

  76. Oh, to volunteer. And and I'm sorry but I'm here

  77. that what I will tell you is when you serve here you are a

  78. part of good ground. So you're not serving in vain

  79. right? You're helping mobilize the

  80. movement of God. It's so cool.

  81. You don't got time. Ain't talking to you.

  82. Well, I would do it if I knew how to do it, I'm talking to you

  83. because will train you, there's nothing you do right now that

  84. you didn't train to do. You went to school for four

  85. years and got in debt training to do something, you're probably

  86. not doing right now. I'm telling you to serve

  87. somebody that paid the debt. I'm not telling you to serve me.

  88. I'm telling you it's your reasonable service to build the

  89. house of God so people can receive from the Lord without

  90. having to labor. Man this brother here last night

  91. doing sound for rehearsal he's here in the morning and so I got

  92. the back of faithful people and God does too.

  93. And so what I'm gonna do right now is I'm just going to ask

  94. right now publicly and if you if you watch it and if you somebody

  95. here that's like look I want to Involved.

  96. I will help like sound this dope.

  97. Like, let me let me help you we need prophetic, people doing

  98. sound. Because when you're moving those

  99. knobs here here's it if a church like this there's some church

  100. you go to you set it at soundcheck, you don't gotta

  101. change. Nothing ever again.

  102. But you see all in people's leading you gotta you gotta work

  103. them knobs. You going to be busy.

  104. Helping that happen, helping Freedom happen, helping

  105. breakthrough happen, helping that happen.

  106. No, we don't have to worry about her, start the song, and it

  107. ain't on because he dealing with broadcast sound.

  108. Nah, not after this day, not after this day, we and listen.

  109. We're not even begging. We're extending you an

  110. opportunity because you've been praying praying and crying to

  111. God, to do something for you, and break through your life, and

  112. you like, but I give him. You're not give over in Africa.

  113. But you ain't serving in yo, LAN.

  114. Some time giving dollars is lazy.

  115. And you give, because you can, but what really matters is, you

  116. serve, where you can, where you, where you, where it's a

  117. sacrifice, where it hurts a little bit, where you got to

  118. tell some friends, I know pastor called again tonight, we can't

  119. do it because we went a little long.

  120. It's Gotta, it's a sacrifice. You think Jesus wanted to get on

  121. the cross for your little stanky self I know some folks get mad

  122. right now. Oh well if your boss tell you to

  123. come in early guarantee you ain't gonna complain.

  124. Are you a slave or son? We work for a giving, not for a

  125. living. So if you go help build somebody

  126. else's Kingdom, you should at least put that same effort to

  127. God's kingdom. I'm not asking you to be here

  128. all the time if it's once a month we're just asking for

  129. people to step up that's it. So if that's you And you like I

  130. got a little bit of scale and let me tell, you know, well, he

  131. might be like, Pastor don't do this because I don't really want

  132. nobody coming over here. That's like But I feel like I'm

  133. going to do it. And if you don't work, it don't

  134. work. But if you are someone in here

  135. that's like man I want to help in a church like this and you've

  136. went through foundations with start there and you like out.

  137. Learn I'm talking about, even if it's once a month, But this

  138. department specifically with sound and lights oh I didn't say

  139. that part. He's also doing lights This is

  140. not for you to feel sorry for him.

  149. You've been saying, God, show me what to do.

  150. What do you need me to do? Where is there?

  151. A place for me in the church? And let me tell you, if he could

  152. talk to a donkey, When you asked him, where do you need me?

  153. He might have you do something that you ain't never.

  154. I asked me that question. Way in America and he said, I

  155. need you in Canada. Send me, I'll go.

  156. That's what Sons do for the family, if that's you in here

  157. and you like, sign me up. I will learn, or I got a little

  193. Like Love quest and don't think that every church is

  194. experiencing worship. Like this it.

  195. I don't care how big the church is, there's some big churches

  196. that's just cold. They just getting information

  197. every week, almost no information.

  198. I want revelation and I want activation, I want to be

  199. mobilized. Look at your neighbor.

  200. Say you anointed I wanted to start a start a short little

  201. series coming back and I wanted to talk to you guys, I don't

  202. have time to give you all the fluff around this so we going to

  203. jump straight in straight into it.

  204. This new series is called, The champ is here.

  205. That is not me like my coming home message, right.

  206. I'm not telling you all the Champions here.

  207. I miss y'all too. Jeff is here, that's not what it

  208. is. But we've been talking about the

  209. lord, gave our church a word that we are going on a

  210. championship, run, right? And it's only been, At our time

  211. before we start a series on being a champ and having a

  212. championship organization. Here's the tea 110% of us in

  213. here. Know how to know how to lose.

  214. Everybody in here, know how to lose.

  215. Some of you experienced lost this morning.

  216. You made a dumb decision or you didn't do you didn't accomplish

  217. a goal or or whatever. You got an argument or you cuss

  218. somebody out, you promise you self, you wouldn't do that no

  219. more, right? You did that one thing once

  220. again, right? Everybody know how to lose by

  221. Nature. Winning is not an accidental

  222. thing. You have to train the wind.

  223. You have to be intentional to win.

  224. You gotta be around the right people to win.

  225. And what we want to do is build a church with a championship

  226. mindset and what I understand, even being in British Columbia,

  227. we don't necessarily raise Champs, we raise participators.

  228. look, if your coach, if my son was trashing who cutting, Don't

  229. go around that. I don't need my son to be the

  230. 19th man and then you put them in at the end just because I

  231. paid for AAA you and you want to just get oh, we just got your

  232. son in the game and you make me pay for it, uniform and do

  233. Arnaldo and basketball shoes. That ain't the sport. and

  234. anybody that walk around confident, somebody try to put

  235. you in your place. Oh, that's Tucker.

  236. Is mad at her? Do they to joyful?

  237. Oh, he think he all know. I'm here to tell you, you better

  238. not put your confidence down, you better not put, what God is

  239. putting you on your shelf. You better not turn down.

  240. One bit for nobody let your light shine.

  241. Bu if you got Charisma growing that Charisma, you got swag

  242. grow. That swag, swag, that swag ain't

  243. nothing wrong with swag. Jesus, walked on water now tell

  244. me Swag is, Joseph had a coat of many colors.

  245. Tell me what SWAG is, like, like a king come in on a donkey.

  246. Just man. That swag, you gotta have swag

  247. to ride a donkey. Look at your neighbor, say swag

  248. it out. So K, if you got fashion IQ, if

  249. you like fashion, god just wants to Fashion.

  250. God just wants your dancing. Bility.

  251. Don't let nobody say you can't do that.

  252. That's of the devil. Let me tell you, hip hop in

  253. itself. Ain't of the devil K.

  254. Competitive Sports is not of the devil.

  255. I was talking to some Hooper's yesterday and they were just

  256. asking me man, what do you think about, you know, because I ran

  257. into some church folks who feel like competition is not of God,

  258. like like like that like we idolize sport.

  259. But Paul you sport. He said, he trained like a

  260. boxer. What are you talk to Kingdom?

  261. Suffered violent and nonviolent. What take him by force?

  262. What are you talking? I'm more than a conqueror.

  263. Greater is he in meaning he that's in the world.

  264. What are you talking about? Enemy comes in like a flood.

  265. What we do back down. No, raise up a standard.

  266. We eat on Mohegan. Lord said he that boy know how

  267. to do the bow and arrow with the left hand.

  268. The right hand. It will be fighting what you

  269. need of Beaufort. If you're restoring the

  270. Tabernacle of David and you chose David, who was a soldier

  271. of fighter, a competitor. He said, Lord shall I pursue?

  272. And he said, yes, perfect. It was the Lord told him to go

  273. after his family where this coward stuff get into, where did

  274. the spirit of fear is not from God, but it's of power, love.

  275. And a sound mind. Where does timidity come from

  276. this? This and we can we work pastors

  277. out, We can passers in. We three, three, and four ahead.

  278. It snakes What do you mean by that out of our insecurities and

  279. fear? We have found Solutions and we

  280. just don't get a bunch of families to be senior leaders.

  281. That's a model. But then you also get people

  282. choosing, who they Pastor is and I'm not saying it's not a bad

  283. model that horse not a good model, but it definitely

  284. shouldn't be birthed out of control.

  285. It should not be burst out of. We're just going to make sure

  286. that it's not just one man. It should never be one, man.

  287. We was gone for two weeks and like, 10 people got activated.

  288. Sharing the platform and all that can look in so many

  289. different ways. But we gotta, we gotta get back

  290. to trust in who God sends and who God ordains and trust God

  291. and not people's resume all the time.

  292. Stop disqualifying yourself. If you tired of losing, wake up

  293. to winning, wake up to win and there's victory in your bosom,

  294. there's victory in your mind. You got the mind of Christ.

  295. If you're tired of losing, wake up to women, develop a winning

  296. attitude We can't be celebrating often and losing what kind of

  297. church we look like. I know I was talking in the back

  298. or earlier and I was like, I know people think we crazy.

  299. They see all our footage and we just super happy.

  300. I was, I told somebody in the back, I was like, we I feel I

  301. feel like how people feel about us.

  302. I probably sometime feel about like, when I see videos Upper

  303. Room, Yours day they so happy. They're just like, they're just

  304. like, you know? I'm saying like like Reggae on

  305. the River or something. It's like and it's so beautiful

  306. with the flags and the dancing. And but why can't we have joy

  307. consistently? Where did that come from?

  308. That. We need to balance our joy.

  309. Oh, y'all can't really be that happy.

  310. Well, first of all you only see us once a week that happy.

  311. So if we not you know I'm saying we could just be happy once a

  312. week. Can we just have one day to have

  313. joy? Say give me one day we see in

  314. Matthew 16, he calls us his legislative assembly, his

  315. governing body, Said, in the power of death will not be able

  316. to overpower. You you gotta get this because

  317. here's the thought I'm saying winning but I want you to

  318. understand, you can win go back to the slide.

  319. The top I want you to see something.

  320. There's levels to winning, Jesus didn't die for the podium, on

  321. the left, and the right. He died for you to be standing

  322. here everyday and you could stand here injured.

  323. You get what I'm saying? Everybody on these podiums one

  324. but it was only one champ. See the last place team still

  325. win some games. So, I'm not talking about merely

  326. winning. I'm talking about being a champ

  327. for your family, developing cultivating planning to leave

  328. behind a championship Legacy. You might leave your kids money

  329. but they don't know how to win. So what did you leave them?

  330. If they don't know how to war and pray and walk by faith and

  331. know how to turn the worship and turn to God?

  332. That you you teach your kids, how to win, get a good job and

  333. and, and things of that nature. But are you teaching your kids?

  334. How to be a champ in the kingdom of God?

  335. Be a King to be a queen? To be a son.

  336. He didn't die for us to be second.

  337. And third ain't no moral victories here, that team, that

  338. loses all them games. And they finally win, I'll kneel

  339. and then they celebrating because they won that one game

  340. they celebrating because they broke.

  341. A losing streak. You celebrating.

  342. Okay, I'll give it to you. You went from a pack of

  343. cigarettes to three cigarettes but but but what he told me this

  344. morning what was there is 20 cigarettes in a pack.

  345. Right, he answered that question real quick.

  346. How many cigarettes in a pack 20?

  347. Check under the seat. Devon, here's the thing.

  348. Here's the thing, though. Here's the thing.

  349. Why are you leaving three cigarettes on the table?

  350. Why aren't you taking them all off and just because you vaping.

  351. Don't mean, you got rid of the addiction, you just switched,

  352. but the addiction is the root. It's not about cigarettes or if

  353. it's weed, or if it's cigarillos or if it's a vape use you gotta

  354. deal with something in your soul that need a puff.

  355. I don't care if you go to cigarette gum.

  356. Oh, y'all didn't get that out here.

  357. No I'm not see. No, y'all didn't get it so don't

  358. try to relate right now. You're not doing it wrong.

  359. Oh, it's the path yesterday. Correct.

  360. I'm talking about. You go to the ice cream truck

  361. and you get these comes that are wrapped like a cigarette and

  362. they got a couple puffs in them for kids.

  363. It's not like it's gummy but it's powder.

  364. Cigarette gum, please. You know I'm saying?

  365. She like I don't want to say nothing to tell my age.

  366. Right, right? No, no.

  367. What I'm saying is God want to deal with the root the fruit.

  368. It's the cigarettes. But why you need the puff, why

  369. you need to cigarette break box, say you own die.

  370. So you go to a vapor, as you like IMA just die a little

  371. slower. We just gonna do this a slow

  372. down. Now, throw the vapor way.

  373. We have people come in. They'll motions at do they Vape

  374. on the Altar and then the next week they just go get a new one.

  375. Amen. What I'm telling you is that was

  376. a victory. You went from 20 to 30 but

  377. that's he didn't die for you to stay on three.

  378. He died for you to go from 20 to vegan.

  379. You know, I'm saying, likes juicing, like do something

  380. healthy. We were set up to win.

  381. He set us up to win. So, I would say the cross was a

  382. win, but the resurrection was a championship.

  383. What good had it been? If he stayed down.

  384. So you went from 20 to 30 Yuan from two hours of porn, which is

  385. a long time. Can we talk about it?

  386. Okay? 2, 1 Hour 2 hours 1 hour, don't

  387. matter. I'm going to move on to the next

  388. street. But why are you leaving Freedom

  389. on the table? Where are you?

  390. Just accepting Joy two days a week.

  391. Where are you just waiting every two weeks to feel relieved.

  392. Oh, I get paid. I can't wait till payday for

  393. what for what? What is every two weeks for you?

  394. I can't wait to get married for what.

  395. For what? I can't wait to move for what?

  396. What are you waiting for? God, doesn't need any of those

  397. things for you to walk in holiness.

  398. Oh I can't wait to get signed oh I can't wait till they call me

  415. make him an armpit make man, in our image, in our likeness and

  416. let them have. Let them have, let them have.

  417. Let us delegate them having complete authority over the fish

  418. of the sea. Not over man.

  419. So if you are controlling, man, that's not where you use your

  420. Authority controlling woman, that's not where you lose your

  421. Authority, you do not have Jesus authority to control humans.

  422. You have that authority to control your flesh, get it under

  423. control, and make Kingdom decisions.

  424. Okay, well will ain't no tree. You got authority over trees

  425. with that stupid. I don't need authority over

  426. trees. Yeah you do.

  427. That's why you smoking weed. He just, you know, I'm saying?

  428. He just broke down the tree and put it in a zigzag.

  429. Oh, ain't no plant gonna control me.

  430. Oh, and that liquor bottle. It is what you think that liquor

  431. made out of that cocaine made out of oh God created it.

  432. Okay, he created a whole lot of stuff.

  433. Moving right along winning is our inheritance.

  434. We must stop reaching for acceptance and affirmations of

  435. men and Ascend to the realm of the kingdom, and the lifestyle

  436. of man's salvation is a lifestyle, you wear that stuff,

  437. Annabeth you wear that shall be put on righteousness.

  438. Righteousness is Right standing with God.

  439. Let me ask you this, your posture look like you know you

  440. good with God or do you have a condemned posture?

  441. Are you timid are you? Unsure about yourself your

  442. choices insecure. Second-guessing yourself.

  443. I'm here to tell you. You have Championship DNA

  444. inside. This ain't no, you got to wait

  445. for it. It's stuff that you listen to

  446. this word tonight be activated. Everyone is a champ because the

  447. champ lives with in That's why I said The champ is, what here

  448. we've been saved from losing. JT you hear what I just said?

  449. We make that's what the cross did.

  450. John we've been saved from losing snatched us out of

  451. Darkness. I once was blind Now, I see.

  452. Once was lost, but now I'm found.

  453. I was a filthy rag. Now, I'm whiter than snow.

  454. I mean, you know, I'm cacao what I'm saying.

  455. Champs play her. I'm trying to help somebody

  456. tonight. Champs play Hurt.

  457. What moment in your life, have you made bigger?

  458. Than it really is. You got to learn how to limp

  459. through some seasons. Here's the issue.

  460. You stay hurt too long and this is why we are fasting and this

  461. is why we have to have a healthy diet of the word because like

  462. all athletes that are planned at the top of their game.

  463. They have a diet that is conducive to them playing at the

  464. level that they're playing at it.

  465. So the reason that a Steph Curry or or or all these athletes, the

  466. LeBron can have 21 years is because that man spends over a

  467. In dollars for his body. And he's doing it for one

  468. reason, it's for Recovery. What if you recovered faster

  469. from the hurts you've experienced in life?

  470. Champs forget the last play. Well, you cannot be a champ.

  471. Pouting about the drop ball or the missed shot Champions, man.

  472. You see clay Thomas? They'll say it every time he

  473. going to shoot his way out of a slump.

  474. I tell my son, I tell young people man, that play is over.

  475. You turn the ball over. Hustle back.

  476. Oh, we gonna get in this series and we going to be coaching, we

  477. don't have whistles, we going to bring our cones.

  478. You're gonna be, you're going to be having an Eric mind said,

  479. right? I don't know.

  480. I might try to preach the whole serving on the on the on the

  481. table on. What's it called?

  482. A pellet on the Peloton. The Pentagon, I will be on the

  483. Pentagon. Okay, stay with me.

  486. half weeks of getting out an hour and a half.

  489. You will you want 89 minutes 10 a.m. next Sunday?

  490. We serve you and then 12:30 to 2:30 ish somewhere around there

  491. and then 5:30. Oh no.

  492. Okay, we gonna get out of here in a second.

  493. What did I just say? Huh.

  494. The Peloton. We going to turn this place into

  495. you going to help me? We we don't figure it out.

  496. JT you, go ahead with milk. We're gonna pull.

  497. We're gonna pull some coach. We're going to do some stuff and

  498. we going to train and we don't make this thing real live up in

  499. here because you what you have to do is you have to learn how

  500. to play hurt because hurt will never stop.

  501. As long as you alive, so as long as you live you will inflict

  502. some injuries. So you have to start training

  503. for overtime, not 4/4 training for when you get The answer you

  504. have to have a diet that will allow your body to heal faster.

  505. So you got to hang around people.

  506. You got to praise. You got to have a good diet with

  507. the word, so when infliction and persecution come, it'll be.

  508. Oh okay. Okay.

  509. You're the hit will stand you up instead of Knock You Down.

  510. Right? You get a strong running back.

  511. He hit some eyeball mall and you get the whole t.i. seen a

  512. highlight the other day. It took the whole team to get

  513. this one little short, Dude down.

  514. Compact. He was just pushing back here.

  515. Pushing back, pushing back, man. You gonna have to, probably it's

  516. gone. I'm prophesying this over you.

  517. It's gonna take way more demons to take you out this time.

  518. It's going to take way more demons.

  519. Way more strategy to take you out this time.

  520. Say I'm not, no pushover, no more.

  521. Matthew tells me, man. Flavorless salt is good for

  522. nothing. I mean I ain't gonna get into

  523. that steak. I had last night man.

  524. Don't don't are somebody with an accent that come over there

  525. telling you how that the steak was that age dry-aged for 40

  526. days, don't fall for it. It tasted like it was dried up

  527. for 40 days. That it tasted like happens.

  528. Firt know nothing about after. I'm just, that's where a lot of

  529. cattle and stuff it just tasted like Earth.

  530. It was earthy, not earthy earthy.

  531. It was earthy that Tomahawk Steak was good, but that little

  532. 40-day thing, he sold us on. That was not the business that

  533. was not it with me and he sold it.

  534. He had the right accent and I'm and right now, you better get

  535. the Revelation and some of y'all in some stuff because somebody

  536. had the right accent Panther right tone.

  537. Huh. Your lives, light up, the world,

  538. your lives, light up the world. For, how can you hide a city

  539. that stands on Hilltop? Not Hillside.

  540. Not, he'll not that back in the day, I'm climbing up, home on

  541. the Rough Side of the Mountain. Now, listen, you don't saying

  542. that's how good it is. How good does it for the fella?

  543. For the fellas, I did them for y'all.

  544. Amen. I shocked myself at The Falls

  545. working. Hey, baby.

  546. Amen. That was for you, girl.

  547. That would be your girl. Yes, I saw it to you over there,

  548. doing her hair and stuff do doing her hair to your like,

  549. okay. Hey, fellas, you better learn

  550. how to flirt with your wife. You know, I'm saying, flirt with

  551. your wife was for with your wife, or with your wife, for her

  552. with your wife, okay? All right.

  553. Look, It didn't say that. I'm just saying my grandma them

  554. in, Ed chemic coming out of slavery, time.

  555. They, they didn't necessarily because of the lack of

  556. Education, didn't necessarily get the Revelation.

  557. So, this was the they were evangelize, well, so they knew

  558. about the cross. So, when you're climbing up, the

  559. Rough Side of the Mountain or singing songs, like, do not pass

  560. me by, well, if you saved, That's not even something we

  561. have to worry about, right? I'm not climbing up the Rough

  562. Side of the Mountain, if he told me to speak to it.

  563. Right? So for me, some stuff you need

  564. to talk to because you've been given the keys to the kingdom,

  565. and the authority to bind and loose, there's life, and death,

  566. and the power your tongue. That's why we worship how we

  567. worship, that's why we repeat words and lyrics, because we're

  568. prophesied, it has to go from off the screen, into your heart,

  569. and from out of your heart into that atmosphere, and if it gets

  570. into your atmosphere, everything changes.

  571. So I need you to see where he says for how Can you hide a city

  572. that stands on a Hilltop? Do you see yourself on top?

  584. fashion designer in this room. We need Christians in that

  585. industry young saying. I love people see because

  594. Like, if I go let my light shine bright, then I admit I gotta

  595. care about hygiene Some of y'all saying something you know I'm

  596. saying he'd make sure you're not anything, you don't say it

  597. because everybody is saying hey man ain't no I'm not talking

  599. You're saying JT somebody be like a man doing my nose.

  600. Okay no name in say, keep it real, pastor know what I'm

  601. saying? We gotta we gotta understand so

  602. if I hang out with this young man right here right, he Amen.

  604. coffee meeting with him or were off Neil, or I might be very

  605. intentional and I might put on some j1's.

  606. When I see him, what he going to do, okay?

  607. Okay, conversation. Fishers of Men, if I hang out

  608. with Daniel I might put on a little three-piece suit or

  609. something. Because then you'll be quietly

  610. clean. He don't say nothing to nobody.

  611. He just walk in. How you doing pop stuff.

  612. Then he'll just show up at the altar like this.

  613. Right, right? I'm paying attention to details.

  614. I'm paying attention to who I'm having coffee with because I

  615. don't have time in my life anymore to waste meetings and

  616. I'm called to impact people's lives.

  617. And so every meeting I have to walk away, knowing I left my

  618. print on somebody's life, right? I love seeing my son and his

  619. kids. I remember me and my son with

  620. his on her trip. It's all good.

  621. Son, I ain't gonna, you know, saying we was I was in Nike and

  622. we both walk past these Jordans at the same time.

  627. We both walked away from we both walked away.

  628. We both walked away. It wasn't worth it.

  629. Where we going to land this thing?

  630. If you want to win, you must spend most of your time with

  631. Winters. This is where I got this.

  632. Nice little cushion right here. You got to spend time with

  633. winners. Let's keep it.

  634. Real. Some of y'all hanging out with

  635. losers too much. Some of y'all hanging out with

  636. time, thieves some of y'all looking at that phone.

  637. And the first thing you do is and because you codependent, you

  638. answer the phone. Hello.

  639. How are you doing? And then don't let you be with

  640. somebody you like, Right? If you got any of them, people

  641. in your life that on the other end, they don't see your real

  642. reaction. It's time to move on because now

  643. you're being held accountable for being fake and not walking

  644. in love. Because you codependent and they

  645. listen, they offer you something and that's what you need to pay

  646. attention to, they compliment you.

  647. They give you them a little fake prophetic words.

  648. They keep you on the hook by giving you something.

  649. It's a familiar spirit and that Spirit knows what you need.

  650. So they give you just enough to compromise your energy and time.

  651. So you answer the phone because you know some way somehow they

  652. going to stroke your ego. Here you go.

  653. They need your help and you just need to help somebody. but when

  654. you get off the phone every time, Your train.

  655. You telling other people. Oh my God.

  656. Girl, how many times they going to tell me that story?

  657. They don't never you telling other people about them, but if

  658. you really love them, you should had a real conversation with

  659. them. But in this season in

  660. particular, you got to start hanging out with Winters more.

  661. Okay, here it is. Championship teams.

  662. Know how to lose together. This is very important wisdom

  663. for us. There's people who have may have

  664. walked away from this church and you have people that walked out

  665. of your life when things got tough.

  666. They didn't close right, they didn't give you a warning, they

  667. just bailed and this is you got to understand that was a

  668. blessing, although it hurt because they will never willing

  669. to go to the top with you, a real championship team.

  670. They are into developing talent and you have to spend time with

  671. people that are willing to develop with you, because where

  672. you are, is not where you going to be.

  673. And if People only are with you for where you are.

  674. That might be trouble. You have to discern who's with

  675. you for the long haul. This why you can't hide your

  676. ugly side maybe on the first day, just just give them the

  677. worst you. See if they going to stick

  678. around because I'm out on the first day, right?

  679. Eat how you really eat them. Chicken wings, He him chicken

  680. wings girl. Like you like, wow, I don't eat

  681. them. Chicken wings.

  682. Dre. AC on just drool one time.

  683. Give up. See if they stick around.

  684. Let me tell you something, me and my wife are experience,

  685. experience in a Victorious marriage, because we lost

  686. together. And when I say lose together, I

  687. don't mean go to separate rooms, I'm saying, we going to talk

  688. until we figure this thing out. I love you, but I hate this

  689. moment. I hate when you act like that,

  690. but I know that there's something inside of you.

  691. I got married to you for something greater than this.

  692. We gon fight. I love you on your good day.

  693. I love you and your bad day. Love you.

  694. I'm man when you fail, I'm not going to condemn you.

  695. I'm gonna check it. Disappointed me.

  696. You need people around you that can let you lose.

  697. Sometimes you never established championship and you also can't

  698. establish Championship if you're insecure and afraid to pour into

  699. the necks. Kobe train.

  700. The very people he competed against so you can't be so

  701. competitive that you can't train somebody to take your spot and

  702. as we build a championship organization, we are developing

  703. people. We are working ourselves out of

  704. a job because they're so much more.

  705. There's planting churches, elsewhere.

  706. There is going To help other churches, some Churches, don't

  707. have worship teams. We want to develop in send

  708. people. And if you don't have a

  709. championship organization, you can't be intimidated because I

  710. am praying that God sends beasts worship team.

  711. Every last one of y'all you can't have insecurities up here.

  712. Don't none of y'all sound the same.

  713. We complement each other. Can we lose together?

  714. Can I can I have a bad week moment with you?

  715. And then you dare to forgive me and we and you're not holding it

  716. over my head, you're not changing how you love me.

  717. Now in with this scripture, John 6, The Holy Spirit is the one

  718. who gives life that which is of the natural realm is of no.

  719. Help the words. I speak to you are spirit and

  720. life, but there are still some of you who won't believe.

  721. In fact, Jesus already knew from the beginning who the Skeptics

  722. were and who is traitor. Would be, this is so good.

  723. Remember what I said to have a really good championship team.

  724. You have to be willing to lose with your teammates.

  725. Oh, we gonna win. Love quest.

  726. We went and right now. We not nowhere near but we are

  727. not satisfied with that cuz he's building a championship

  728. organization. These are Championship vocals up

  729. here. But these has halftime Super

  730. Bowl. This is BC lion.

  731. Have Tony when you own land but BC Lions, We Day weekend.

  732. We take what we get. They don't good this year,

  733. though. Let me, let me tell you.

  734. When God start moving in a city, everything begins to win.

  735. Hey, he has a way to start making things when people win

  736. and then winners find each other.

  737. LeBron and and Tom Brady, great friends.

  738. Why? Because they share Championship

  739. Kobe, like, grates relates. So we as a kingdom church, have

  740. to get at the top of what we do and bet we be in rooms with

  741. other organizations, not just churches.

  742. But government officials Where we can make real change from the

  743. top. You will be surprised how much

  744. winning organizations. Change cities economically.

  745. When you and the playoffs you bring.

  746. And when you in that last seven games of the Season, all the

  747. media from all over the world, everybody's watching, yo series

  748. Hotel, sell out. Everybody can bump.

  749. They prices up because you win you give people jobs longer that

  750. work concession. How much is impacted it costs to

  751. play longer than everybody? But it benefits everybody.

  752. Everybody get a ring. The janitor, get a ring.

  753. He says, he went on to say. This is why I told you that no

  754. one Embraces me, unless the father has given you.

  755. This is, I need you to be see on.

  756. I need you guys to get this. There is all kinds of people

  757. that will come into your life, just by Nature.

  758. You're attractive, you have great personality, but there's

  759. only few people God sends to you.

  760. It's time that you identify who God sent to you and stop wasting

  761. time with people. You just relate to just because

  762. we can have good conversation in a drink.

  763. We I don't got I need to find the few people that got sent to

  764. me. My family, there may be cold but

  765. whoever it is and they don't always mean we relate.

  766. But remember we're developing. So from that time, on many of

  767. this disciples turn their backs on Jesus and refused to be

  768. associated with him. Here's a key question.

  769. So Jesus said to the twelve and you do you also want to leave

  770. You're not going to rock with me.

  771. You're going to turn your back on me because everybody else

  772. did, you can walk out the door look, people going to walk out

  773. of your life. Now, Jesus is asking his

  774. disciples and he asking you when times get hard, you going to

  775. lead to you gonna give up to. But in Championship terms, what

  776. he's saying is we have a mission to fulfill And he's going to get

  777. people going to turn their back on me.

  778. People not going like your leader, is it mean, you can't

  779. expect us to grow and then everything on people on like us

  780. more persecution, more hate and you're going to start seeing

  781. people. When pressure comes, you're

  782. going to see who really rocking this is a very key moment that

  783. you have to understand the mindset of a champion, are you

  784. willing to lose with me? Oh, love quest.

  785. My church home until we lose. Until you get offended until you

  786. get challenged. Until you got to be held

  787. accountable. Oh, that's what that's my

  788. pastor. Oh, Pastor heater either.

  789. He did I can call countless people out in here that we

  790. didn't went to We did have some real conversations, we didn't

  791. help save some families in here that that should have been torn

  792. apart sitting in this room right now.

  793. And the one thing I feel why you stuck around is because me and

  794. my wife, although we expressed frustration or disappointment or

  795. correction, our love has not changed for you.

  796. And we've only grown stronger together because we had a moment

  797. that really wasn't a moment of loss.

  798. It was an opportunity of learning.

  799. And what is a culture? That's every time pressure.

  800. Come we followed. Divorce 50%.

  801. You marry seven ties. It ain't the mother seven people

  802. problem. Real Champs.

  803. We lose together, but if you lose together, you're going to
