Thank you, Father, that you will snatch us out of the pit of

Our way to everybody stop running track.
-
While I do this, though is for worship team, Troy way over
-

One time, Noel, Noel, wave, your hand for me one time.
-
Okay, I want to put it into something tonight.
-
I want to put it in the something tonight.
-
I don't know who this is for. I don't really care who is for,
-
I'm just putting it in atmosphere.
-
This man took we got about four, four people that kind of, and if
-
you're watching, this is for you to what kind of people are, we
-
that will let people carried away.
-
Of serving and we'll just be the takers of a church.
-
I'm not going to be that Pastor and see.
-
It is what it is. But we're in Apostolic Church,
-
which caused people to get in alignment with the kingdom of
-
God. And it's so passive, lazy
-
attended church and just take take.
-
Take, it's like I feel you. But for him to have to run the
-
house sound, the monitor sound and the broadcast.
-
And we got people in here that just wanted to do church
-
tonight. But are part of leadership.
-
Totally fine. So what I'm doing right now, I'm
-
speaking to the atmosphere of complacency We're trying to
-
build a championship team here. We're trying to build Legacy and
-
you don't celebrate an 80 year anniversary without
-
faithfulness. I'm not dissing.
-
I know pop up church. This is going to be a church
-
that sacrifices for the next generation and God we're going
-
to give God Excellence but for him to have to do stream and
-
then he can't really pay attention to the house sound.
-
He's doing his best and the brother can play maggot are.
-
And I know, see, I wouldn't be doing this.
-
If I didn't know that he wasn't trying to lead, but there's
-
flaking people in church Right? We got all kind of excuses but
-
we'll go. We'll go to work sick for the
-
made our so we can pay them bills.
-
Right. and all I'm saying is he should not have to and even if
-
you watching And you're a part of that Ministry.
-
He should knock there's a season where if you some stuff you
-
can't save for, you have to so forth and some of you want
-
healing and you want breakthrough in your family and
-
you think you're going to therapy your way through it, or
-
you going to save your way to your new house.
-
Some stuff just comes by her sewing sewing great.
-
You are, you give our friend but but as well as you can sit in
-
here for two hours on a Sunday, you can sit over there and push
-
some knobs. Right?
-
You that Ministry, you get everything right in your ears.
-
So I know I ain't never. Did you ask anybody?
-
I've never done this since we've ever started this church, but I
-
feel God is like, man, if we're really like like the world
-
record labels, don't have to look for people.
-
Oh, to volunteer. And and I'm sorry but I'm here
-
that what I will tell you is when you serve here you are a
-
part of good ground. So you're not serving in vain
-
right? You're helping mobilize the
-
movement of God. It's so cool.
-
You don't got time. Ain't talking to you.
-
Well, I would do it if I knew how to do it, I'm talking to you
-
because will train you, there's nothing you do right now that
-
you didn't train to do. You went to school for four
-
years and got in debt training to do something, you're probably
-
not doing right now. I'm telling you to serve
-
somebody that paid the debt. I'm not telling you to serve me.
-
I'm telling you it's your reasonable service to build the
-
house of God so people can receive from the Lord without
-
having to labor. Man this brother here last night
-
doing sound for rehearsal he's here in the morning and so I got
-
the back of faithful people and God does too.
-
And so what I'm gonna do right now is I'm just going to ask
-
right now publicly and if you if you watch it and if you somebody
-
here that's like look I want to Involved.
-
I will help like sound this dope.
-
Like, let me let me help you we need prophetic, people doing
-
sound. Because when you're moving those
-
knobs here here's it if a church like this there's some church
-
you go to you set it at soundcheck, you don't gotta
-
change. Nothing ever again.
-
But you see all in people's leading you gotta you gotta work
-
them knobs. You going to be busy.
-
Helping that happen, helping Freedom happen, helping
-
breakthrough happen, helping that happen.
-
No, we don't have to worry about her, start the song, and it
-
ain't on because he dealing with broadcast sound.
-
Nah, not after this day, not after this day, we and listen.
-
We're not even begging. We're extending you an
-
opportunity because you've been praying praying and crying to
-
God, to do something for you, and break through your life, and
-
you like, but I give him. You're not give over in Africa.
-
But you ain't serving in yo, LAN.
-
Some time giving dollars is lazy.
-
And you give, because you can, but what really matters is, you
-
serve, where you can, where you, where you, where it's a
-
sacrifice, where it hurts a little bit, where you got to
-
tell some friends, I know pastor called again tonight, we can't
-
do it because we went a little long.
-
It's Gotta, it's a sacrifice. You think Jesus wanted to get on
-
the cross for your little stanky self I know some folks get mad
-
right now. Oh well if your boss tell you to
-
come in early guarantee you ain't gonna complain.
-
Are you a slave or son? We work for a giving, not for a
-
living. So if you go help build somebody
-
else's Kingdom, you should at least put that same effort to
-
God's kingdom. I'm not asking you to be here
-
all the time if it's once a month we're just asking for
-
people to step up that's it. So if that's you And you like I
-
got a little bit of scale and let me tell, you know, well, he
-
might be like, Pastor don't do this because I don't really want
-
nobody coming over here. That's like But I feel like I'm
-
going to do it. And if you don't work, it don't
-
work. But if you are someone in here
-
that's like man I want to help in a church like this and you've
-
went through foundations with start there and you like out.
-
Learn I'm talking about, even if it's once a month, But this
-
department specifically with sound and lights oh I didn't say
-
that part. He's also doing lights This is
-
not for you to feel sorry for him.
-
This is for you to see that there is opportunity for you.
-
There's a vacancy Let me tell you, we just went through all of
-
that worship, with just Him, will be fine.
-
He's going to be blessed. I'm just extending you.
-
This is a different altar call. This opportunity.
-
So if is you be like man, Teach Me.
-
I'm in a season where I want to make some sacrifices anyway and
-
maybe this is an answer to your prayer.
-
You've been saying, God, show me what to do.
-
What do you need me to do? Where is there?
-
A place for me in the church? And let me tell you, if he could
-
talk to a donkey, When you asked him, where do you need me?
-
He might have you do something that you ain't never.
-
I asked me that question. Way in America and he said, I
-
need you in Canada. Send me, I'll go.
-
That's what Sons do for the family, if that's you in here
-
and you like, sign me up. I will learn, or I got a little
-
bit of experience or I love music.
-
I just need you to stand to your feet.
-
So Rachel, you and your team? If you guys see these people
-
right after service, just connect with And again we're not
-
into like rushing, this isn't about you just push your knobs
-
next week. We will give you the time to
-
deal with your soul, but there is some healing that will never
-
happen until you start serving. So, father, I thank you that
-
these men and women is just taken one step whether it works
-
or not lord, they're taking a step right now, so I thank you
-
that they will be rooted in their decision.
-
And I thank you that you are sending skillful men and women
-
laborers from the north, south east, and the West to this
-
church. Lord, you will feel your church.
-
You will build your church and we thank Ford now Lord God.

-

-
their commitment to build your house and we thank you for now
-
in Jesus name. Amen see you after church?
-
Come on. Give God a hand, give God.
-
Tonight only got a little bit of time, but it is what it is.
-
I just wanted to come back from California.
-
I missed you guys so much man and I'm not.
-
And, you know, you know, I'll tell I was telling, This
-
morning. I was like I'm not gonna be like
-
Nas all about God and I'm glad to be missed.
-
You should miss me. I miss you.
-
Right? You should miss me cause I
-
missed you. Right?
-
Right. If you don't miss me, then I'm
-
not impacting your life. All right.
-
I missed you all so much. Let me tell you, ain't no church
-
Like Love quest and don't think that every church is
-
experiencing worship. Like this it.
-
I don't care how big the church is, there's some big churches
-
that's just cold. They just getting information
-
every week, almost no information.
-
I want revelation and I want activation, I want to be
-
mobilized. Look at your neighbor.
-
Say you anointed I wanted to start a start a short little
-
series coming back and I wanted to talk to you guys, I don't
-
have time to give you all the fluff around this so we going to
-
jump straight in straight into it.
-
This new series is called, The champ is here.
-
That is not me like my coming home message, right.
-
I'm not telling you all the Champions here.
-
I miss y'all too. Jeff is here, that's not what it
-
is. But we've been talking about the
-
lord, gave our church a word that we are going on a
-
championship, run, right? And it's only been, At our time
-
before we start a series on being a champ and having a
-
championship organization. Here's the tea 110% of us in
-
here. Know how to know how to lose.
-
Everybody in here, know how to lose.
-
Some of you experienced lost this morning.
-
You made a dumb decision or you didn't do you didn't accomplish
-
a goal or or whatever. You got an argument or you cuss
-
somebody out, you promise you self, you wouldn't do that no
-
more, right? You did that one thing once
-
again, right? Everybody know how to lose by
-
Nature. Winning is not an accidental
-
thing. You have to train the wind.
-
You have to be intentional to win.
-
You gotta be around the right people to win.
-
And what we want to do is build a church with a championship
-
mindset and what I understand, even being in British Columbia,
-
we don't necessarily raise Champs, we raise participators.
-
look, if your coach, if my son was trashing who cutting, Don't
-
go around that. I don't need my son to be the
-
19th man and then you put them in at the end just because I
-
paid for AAA you and you want to just get oh, we just got your
-
son in the game and you make me pay for it, uniform and do
-
Arnaldo and basketball shoes. That ain't the sport. and
-
anybody that walk around confident, somebody try to put
-
you in your place. Oh, that's Tucker.
-
Is mad at her? Do they to joyful?
-
Oh, he think he all know. I'm here to tell you, you better
-
not put your confidence down, you better not put, what God is
-
putting you on your shelf. You better not turn down.
-
One bit for nobody let your light shine.
-
Bu if you got Charisma growing that Charisma, you got swag
-
grow. That swag, swag, that swag ain't
-
nothing wrong with swag. Jesus, walked on water now tell
-
me Swag is, Joseph had a coat of many colors.
-
Tell me what SWAG is, like, like a king come in on a donkey.
-
Just man. That swag, you gotta have swag
-
to ride a donkey. Look at your neighbor, say swag
-
it out. So K, if you got fashion IQ, if
-
you like fashion, god just wants to Fashion.
-
God just wants your dancing. Bility.
-
Don't let nobody say you can't do that.
-
That's of the devil. Let me tell you, hip hop in
-
itself. Ain't of the devil K.
-
Competitive Sports is not of the devil.
-
I was talking to some Hooper's yesterday and they were just
-
asking me man, what do you think about, you know, because I ran
-
into some church folks who feel like competition is not of God,
-
like like like that like we idolize sport.
-
But Paul you sport. He said, he trained like a
-
boxer. What are you talk to Kingdom?
-
Suffered violent and nonviolent. What take him by force?
-
What are you talking? I'm more than a conqueror.
-
Greater is he in meaning he that's in the world.
-
What are you talking about? Enemy comes in like a flood.
-
What we do back down. No, raise up a standard.
-
We eat on Mohegan. Lord said he that boy know how
-
to do the bow and arrow with the left hand.
-
The right hand. It will be fighting what you
-
need of Beaufort. If you're restoring the
-
Tabernacle of David and you chose David, who was a soldier
-
of fighter, a competitor. He said, Lord shall I pursue?
-
And he said, yes, perfect. It was the Lord told him to go
-
after his family where this coward stuff get into, where did
-
the spirit of fear is not from God, but it's of power, love.
-
And a sound mind. Where does timidity come from
-
this? This and we can we work pastors
-
out, We can passers in. We three, three, and four ahead.
-
It snakes What do you mean by that out of our insecurities and
-
fear? We have found Solutions and we
-
just don't get a bunch of families to be senior leaders.
-
That's a model. But then you also get people
-
choosing, who they Pastor is and I'm not saying it's not a bad
-
model that horse not a good model, but it definitely
-
shouldn't be birthed out of control.
-
It should not be burst out of. We're just going to make sure
-
that it's not just one man. It should never be one, man.
-
We was gone for two weeks and like, 10 people got activated.
-
Sharing the platform and all that can look in so many
-
different ways. But we gotta, we gotta get back
-
to trust in who God sends and who God ordains and trust God
-
and not people's resume all the time.
-
Stop disqualifying yourself. If you tired of losing, wake up
-
to winning, wake up to win and there's victory in your bosom,
-
there's victory in your mind. You got the mind of Christ.
-
If you're tired of losing, wake up to women, develop a winning
-
attitude We can't be celebrating often and losing what kind of
-
church we look like. I know I was talking in the back
-
or earlier and I was like, I know people think we crazy.
-
They see all our footage and we just super happy.
-
I was, I told somebody in the back, I was like, we I feel I
-
feel like how people feel about us.
-
I probably sometime feel about like, when I see videos Upper
-
Room, Yours day they so happy. They're just like, they're just
-
like, you know? I'm saying like like Reggae on
-
the River or something. It's like and it's so beautiful
-
with the flags and the dancing. And but why can't we have joy
-
consistently? Where did that come from?
-
That. We need to balance our joy.
-
Oh, y'all can't really be that happy.
-
Well, first of all you only see us once a week that happy.
-
So if we not you know I'm saying we could just be happy once a
-
week. Can we just have one day to have
-
joy? Say give me one day we see in
-
Matthew 16, he calls us his legislative assembly, his
-
governing body, Said, in the power of death will not be able
-
to overpower. You you gotta get this because
-
here's the thought I'm saying winning but I want you to
-
understand, you can win go back to the slide.
-
The top I want you to see something.
-
There's levels to winning, Jesus didn't die for the podium, on
-
the left, and the right. He died for you to be standing
-
here everyday and you could stand here injured.
-
You get what I'm saying? Everybody on these podiums one
-
but it was only one champ. See the last place team still
-
win some games. So, I'm not talking about merely
-
winning. I'm talking about being a champ
-
for your family, developing cultivating planning to leave
-
behind a championship Legacy. You might leave your kids money
-
but they don't know how to win. So what did you leave them?
-
If they don't know how to war and pray and walk by faith and
-
know how to turn the worship and turn to God?
-
That you you teach your kids, how to win, get a good job and
-
and, and things of that nature. But are you teaching your kids?
-
How to be a champ in the kingdom of God?
-
Be a King to be a queen? To be a son.
-
He didn't die for us to be second.
-
And third ain't no moral victories here, that team, that
-
loses all them games. And they finally win, I'll kneel
-
and then they celebrating because they won that one game
-
they celebrating because they broke.
-
A losing streak. You celebrating.
-
Okay, I'll give it to you. You went from a pack of
-
cigarettes to three cigarettes but but but what he told me this
-
morning what was there is 20 cigarettes in a pack.
-
Right, he answered that question real quick.
-
How many cigarettes in a pack 20?
-
Check under the seat. Devon, here's the thing.
-
Here's the thing, though. Here's the thing.
-
Why are you leaving three cigarettes on the table?
-
Why aren't you taking them all off and just because you vaping.
-
Don't mean, you got rid of the addiction, you just switched,
-
but the addiction is the root. It's not about cigarettes or if
-
it's weed, or if it's cigarillos or if it's a vape use you gotta
-
deal with something in your soul that need a puff.
-
I don't care if you go to cigarette gum.
-
Oh, y'all didn't get that out here.
-
No I'm not see. No, y'all didn't get it so don't
-
try to relate right now. You're not doing it wrong.
-
Oh, it's the path yesterday. Correct.
-
I'm talking about. You go to the ice cream truck
-
and you get these comes that are wrapped like a cigarette and
-
they got a couple puffs in them for kids.
-
It's not like it's gummy but it's powder.
-
Cigarette gum, please. You know I'm saying?
-
She like I don't want to say nothing to tell my age.
-
Right, right? No, no.
-
What I'm saying is God want to deal with the root the fruit.
-
It's the cigarettes. But why you need the puff, why
-
you need to cigarette break box, say you own die.
-
So you go to a vapor, as you like IMA just die a little
-
slower. We just gonna do this a slow
-
down. Now, throw the vapor way.
-
We have people come in. They'll motions at do they Vape
-
on the Altar and then the next week they just go get a new one.
-
Amen. What I'm telling you is that was
-
a victory. You went from 20 to 30 but
-
that's he didn't die for you to stay on three.
-
He died for you to go from 20 to vegan.
-
You know, I'm saying, likes juicing, like do something
-
healthy. We were set up to win.
-
He set us up to win. So, I would say the cross was a
-
win, but the resurrection was a championship.
-
What good had it been? If he stayed down.
-
So you went from 20 to 30 Yuan from two hours of porn, which is
-
a long time. Can we talk about it?
-
Okay? 2, 1 Hour 2 hours 1 hour, don't
-
matter. I'm going to move on to the next
-
street. But why are you leaving Freedom
-
on the table? Where are you?
-
Just accepting Joy two days a week.
-
Where are you just waiting every two weeks to feel relieved.
-
Oh, I get paid. I can't wait till payday for
-
what for what? What is every two weeks for you?
-
I can't wait to get married for what.
-
For what? I can't wait to move for what?
-
What are you waiting for? God, doesn't need any of those
-
things for you to walk in holiness.
-
Oh I can't wait to get signed oh I can't wait till they call me
-
back for that role in that commercial is that commercial
-
worse? You being anxious to they call
-
back. What you waiting for?
-
For what? Girl, I can't wait till he asked
-
me to marry him. First of all, how long you been
-
waiting? Let's deal with that tonight.
-
Hey, the Lord, keep bringing this one up for somebody.
-
Girl, you gotta move on. Well, I gotta give my, I gotta
-
get my money. I got to get all my ducks.
-
Any five years, you still whining.
-
Ducks up. That's a lot of ducks.
-
Duck dynasty. Ain't even care.
-
Let me stop playing. Let me stop playing.
-
Let me stop playing. It's a house of the Lord.
-
I got to stop playing. We were set up to Dominique.
-
We were set up to dominate. The Bible says he made, let us
-
make him an armpit make man, in our image, in our likeness and
-
let them have. Let them have, let them have.
-
Let us delegate them having complete authority over the fish
-
of the sea. Not over man.
-
So if you are controlling, man, that's not where you use your
-
Authority controlling woman, that's not where you lose your
-
Authority, you do not have Jesus authority to control humans.
-
You have that authority to control your flesh, get it under
-
control, and make Kingdom decisions.
-
Okay, well will ain't no tree. You got authority over trees
-
with that stupid. I don't need authority over
-
trees. Yeah you do.
-
That's why you smoking weed. He just, you know, I'm saying?
-
He just broke down the tree and put it in a zigzag.
-
Oh, ain't no plant gonna control me.
-
Oh, and that liquor bottle. It is what you think that liquor
-
made out of that cocaine made out of oh God created it.
-
Okay, he created a whole lot of stuff.
-
Moving right along winning is our inheritance.
-
We must stop reaching for acceptance and affirmations of
-
men and Ascend to the realm of the kingdom, and the lifestyle
-
of man's salvation is a lifestyle, you wear that stuff,
-
Annabeth you wear that shall be put on righteousness.
-
Righteousness is Right standing with God.
-
Let me ask you this, your posture look like you know you
-
good with God or do you have a condemned posture?
-
Are you timid are you? Unsure about yourself your
-
choices insecure. Second-guessing yourself.
-
I'm here to tell you. You have Championship DNA
-
inside. This ain't no, you got to wait
-
for it. It's stuff that you listen to
-
this word tonight be activated. Everyone is a champ because the
-
champ lives with in That's why I said The champ is, what here
-
we've been saved from losing. JT you hear what I just said?
-
We make that's what the cross did.
-
John we've been saved from losing snatched us out of
-
Darkness. I once was blind Now, I see.
-
Once was lost, but now I'm found.
-
I was a filthy rag. Now, I'm whiter than snow.
-
I mean, you know, I'm cacao what I'm saying.
-
Champs play her. I'm trying to help somebody
-
tonight. Champs play Hurt.
-
What moment in your life, have you made bigger?
-
Than it really is. You got to learn how to limp
-
through some seasons. Here's the issue.
-
You stay hurt too long and this is why we are fasting and this
-
is why we have to have a healthy diet of the word because like
-
all athletes that are planned at the top of their game.
-
They have a diet that is conducive to them playing at the
-
level that they're playing at it.
-
So the reason that a Steph Curry or or or all these athletes, the
-
LeBron can have 21 years is because that man spends over a
-
In dollars for his body. And he's doing it for one
-
reason, it's for Recovery. What if you recovered faster

-
to play hurt because hurt will never stop.

As long as you alive, so as long as you live you will inflict
-
some injuries. So you have to start training
-
for overtime, not 4/4 training for when you get The answer you
-

So you got to hang around people.

It's gonna take way more demons to take you out this time.
-
It's going to take way more demons.
-
Way more strategy to take you out this time.
-
Say I'm not, no pushover, no more.
-
Matthew tells me, man. Flavorless salt is good for
-
nothing. I mean I ain't gonna get into
-
that steak. I had last night man.
-
Don't don't are somebody with an accent that come over there
-
telling you how that the steak was that age dry-aged for 40
-
days, don't fall for it. It tasted like it was dried up
-
for 40 days. That it tasted like happens.
-
Firt know nothing about after. I'm just, that's where a lot of
-
cattle and stuff it just tasted like Earth.
-
It was earthy, not earthy earthy.
-
It was earthy that Tomahawk Steak was good, but that little
-
40-day thing, he sold us on. That was not the business that
-
was not it with me and he sold it.
-
He had the right accent and I'm and right now, you better get
-
the Revelation and some of y'all in some stuff because somebody
-
had the right accent Panther right tone.
-
Huh. Your lives, light up, the world,
-
your lives, light up the world. For, how can you hide a city
-
that stands on Hilltop? Not Hillside.
-
Not, he'll not that back in the day, I'm climbing up, home on
-
the Rough Side of the Mountain. Now, listen, you don't saying
-
that's how good it is. How good does it for the fella?
-
For the fellas, I did them for y'all.
-
Amen. I shocked myself at The Falls
-
working. Hey, baby.
-
Amen. That was for you, girl.
-
That would be your girl. Yes, I saw it to you over there,
-
doing her hair and stuff do doing her hair to your like,
-
okay. Hey, fellas, you better learn
-
how to flirt with your wife. You know, I'm saying, flirt with
-
your wife was for with your wife, or with your wife, for her
-
with your wife, okay? All right.
-
Look, It didn't say that. I'm just saying my grandma them
-
in, Ed chemic coming out of slavery, time.
-
They, they didn't necessarily because of the lack of
-
Education, didn't necessarily get the Revelation.
-
So, this was the they were evangelize, well, so they knew
-
about the cross. So, when you're climbing up, the
-
Rough Side of the Mountain or singing songs, like, do not pass
-
me by, well, if you saved, That's not even something we
-
have to worry about, right? I'm not climbing up the Rough
-
Side of the Mountain, if he told me to speak to it.
-
Right? So for me, some stuff you need
-
to talk to because you've been given the keys to the kingdom,
-
and the authority to bind and loose, there's life, and death,
-
and the power your tongue. That's why we worship how we
-
worship, that's why we repeat words and lyrics, because we're
-
prophesied, it has to go from off the screen, into your heart,
-
and from out of your heart into that atmosphere, and if it gets
-
into your atmosphere, everything changes.
-
So I need you to see where he says for how Can you hide a city
-
that stands on a Hilltop? Do you see yourself on top?
-
Number two, number three. That's Hillside number one.
-
Okay? You shut up.
-
Okay. That was doubt number leaf.
-
That was a new app. Amen.
-
But he says, let it shine brightly.
-
He didn't just say Let It Shine. It's why I'm gospel.
-
Sunday is one of my favorite days now.
-
Imma, imma get for some of y'all.
-
IMA get a little carnal for some of y'all the way you see it.
-
I love seeing folks. Spend time to put themselves
-
together. He know who he is, but there's a
-
fashion designer in this room. We need Christians in that
-
industry young saying. I love people see because
-
there's very little ways. You can express yourself and one
-
of them is fashion and so I love seeing people, you know, it's a
-
little silent little competition, folks, get a Jordan
-
Ones. You know I'm saying and folks,
-
you, it's just his silent thing. That folks is like, I gotta step
-
myself up. I can't just be like if you did,
-
if raggedy is your style, then Rock.
-
Bagga, t. But I don't see royalty.
-
Like, if I go let my light shine bright, then I admit I gotta
-
care about hygiene Some of y'all saying something you know I'm
-
saying he'd make sure you're not anything, you don't say it
-
because everybody is saying hey man ain't no I'm not talking
-
about you Troy I'm just saying some people.
-
You're saying JT somebody be like a man doing my nose.
-
Okay no name in say, keep it real, pastor know what I'm
-
saying? We gotta we gotta understand so
-
if I hang out with this young man right here right, he Amen.
-
This young, man. So if I'm about to go have a
-
coffee meeting with him or were off Neil, or I might be very
-
intentional and I might put on some j1's.
-
When I see him, what he going to do, okay?
-
Okay, conversation. Fishers of Men, if I hang out
-
with Daniel I might put on a little three-piece suit or
-
something. Because then you'll be quietly
-
clean. He don't say nothing to nobody.
-
He just walk in. How you doing pop stuff.
-
Then he'll just show up at the altar like this.
-
Right, right? I'm paying attention to details.
-
I'm paying attention to who I'm having coffee with because I
-
don't have time in my life anymore to waste meetings and
-
I'm called to impact people's lives.
-
And so every meeting I have to walk away, knowing I left my
-
print on somebody's life, right? I love seeing my son and his
-
kids. I remember me and my son with
-
his on her trip. It's all good.
-
Son, I ain't gonna, you know, saying we was I was in Nike and
-
we both walk past these Jordans at the same time.
-
This brother, we weren't the same size almost now and we both
-
touched it. I was like, bro.
-
No, these mine he like, nah. I'm like, well, who gonna pay
-
for him? Then I'm gonna pay for her man.
-
We both walked away from we both walked away.
-
We both walked away. It wasn't worth it.
-
Where we going to land this thing?
-
If you want to win, you must spend most of your time with
-
Winters. This is where I got this.
-
Nice little cushion right here. You got to spend time with
-
winners. Let's keep it.
-
Real. Some of y'all hanging out with
-
losers too much. Some of y'all hanging out with
-
time, thieves some of y'all looking at that phone.
-
And the first thing you do is and because you codependent, you
-
answer the phone. Hello.
-
How are you doing? And then don't let you be with
-
somebody you like, Right? If you got any of them, people
-
in your life that on the other end, they don't see your real
-
reaction. It's time to move on because now
-
you're being held accountable for being fake and not walking
-
in love. Because you codependent and they
-
listen, they offer you something and that's what you need to pay
-
attention to, they compliment you.
-
They give you them a little fake prophetic words.
-
They keep you on the hook by giving you something.
-
It's a familiar spirit and that Spirit knows what you need.
-
So they give you just enough to compromise your energy and time.
-
So you answer the phone because you know some way somehow they
-
going to stroke your ego. Here you go.
-
They need your help and you just need to help somebody. but when
-
you get off the phone every time, Your train.
-
You telling other people. Oh my God.
-
Girl, how many times they going to tell me that story?
-
They don't never you telling other people about them, but if
-
you really love them, you should had a real conversation with
-
them. But in this season in
-
particular, you got to start hanging out with Winters more.
-
Okay, here it is. Championship teams.
-
Know how to lose together. This is very important wisdom
-
for us. There's people who have may have
-
walked away from this church and you have people that walked out
-
of your life when things got tough.
-
They didn't close right, they didn't give you a warning, they
-
just bailed and this is you got to understand that was a
-
blessing, although it hurt because they will never willing
-
to go to the top with you, a real championship team.
-
They are into developing talent and you have to spend time with
-
people that are willing to develop with you, because where
-
you are, is not where you going to be.
-
And if People only are with you for where you are.
-
That might be trouble. You have to discern who's with
-
you for the long haul. This why you can't hide your
-
ugly side maybe on the first day, just just give them the
-
worst you. See if they going to stick
-
around because I'm out on the first day, right?
-
Eat how you really eat them. Chicken wings, He him chicken
-
wings girl. Like you like, wow, I don't eat
-
them. Chicken wings.
-
Dre. AC on just drool one time.
-
Give up. See if they stick around.
-
Let me tell you something, me and my wife are experience,
-
experience in a Victorious marriage, because we lost
-
together. And when I say lose together, I
-
don't mean go to separate rooms, I'm saying, we going to talk
-
until we figure this thing out. I love you, but I hate this
-
moment. I hate when you act like that,
-
but I know that there's something inside of you.
-
I got married to you for something greater than this.
-
We gon fight. I love you on your good day.
-
I love you and your bad day. Love you.
-
I'm man when you fail, I'm not going to condemn you.
-
I'm gonna check it. Disappointed me.
-
You need people around you that can let you lose.
-
Sometimes you never established championship and you also can't
-
establish Championship if you're insecure and afraid to pour into
-
the necks. Kobe train.
-
The very people he competed against so you can't be so
-
competitive that you can't train somebody to take your spot and
-
as we build a championship organization, we are developing
-
people. We are working ourselves out of
-
a job because they're so much more.
-
There's planting churches, elsewhere.
-
There is going To help other churches, some Churches, don't
-
have worship teams. We want to develop in send
-
people. And if you don't have a
-
championship organization, you can't be intimidated because I
-
am praying that God sends beasts worship team.
-
Every last one of y'all you can't have insecurities up here.
-
Don't none of y'all sound the same.
-
We complement each other. Can we lose together?
-
Can I can I have a bad week moment with you?
-
And then you dare to forgive me and we and you're not holding it
-
over my head, you're not changing how you love me.
-
Now in with this scripture, John 6, The Holy Spirit is the one
-
who gives life that which is of the natural realm is of no.
-
Help the words. I speak to you are spirit and
-
life, but there are still some of you who won't believe.
-
In fact, Jesus already knew from the beginning who the Skeptics
-
were and who is traitor. Would be, this is so good.
-
Remember what I said to have a really good championship team.
-
You have to be willing to lose with your teammates.
-
Oh, we gonna win. Love quest.
-
We went and right now. We not nowhere near but we are
-
not satisfied with that cuz he's building a championship
-
organization. These are Championship vocals up
-
here. But these has halftime Super
-
Bowl. This is BC lion.
-
Have Tony when you own land but BC Lions, We Day weekend.
-
We take what we get. They don't good this year,
-
though. Let me, let me tell you.
-
When God start moving in a city, everything begins to win.
-
Hey, he has a way to start making things when people win
-
and then winners find each other.
-
LeBron and and Tom Brady, great friends.
-
Why? Because they share Championship
-
Kobe, like, grates relates. So we as a kingdom church, have
-
to get at the top of what we do and bet we be in rooms with
-
other organizations, not just churches.
-
But government officials Where we can make real change from the
-
top. You will be surprised how much
-
winning organizations. Change cities economically.
-
When you and the playoffs you bring.
-
And when you in that last seven games of the Season, all the
-
media from all over the world, everybody's watching, yo series
-
Hotel, sell out. Everybody can bump.
-
They prices up because you win you give people jobs longer that
-
work concession. How much is impacted it costs to
-
play longer than everybody? But it benefits everybody.
-
Everybody get a ring. The janitor, get a ring.
-
He says, he went on to say. This is why I told you that no
-
one Embraces me, unless the father has given you.
-
This is, I need you to be see on.
-
I need you guys to get this. There is all kinds of people
-
that will come into your life, just by Nature.
-
You're attractive, you have great personality, but there's
-
only few people God sends to you.
-
It's time that you identify who God sent to you and stop wasting
-
time with people. You just relate to just because
-
we can have good conversation in a drink.
-
We I don't got I need to find the few people that got sent to
-
me. My family, there may be cold but
-
whoever it is and they don't always mean we relate.
-
But remember we're developing. So from that time, on many of
-
this disciples turn their backs on Jesus and refused to be
-
associated with him. Here's a key question.
-
So Jesus said to the twelve and you do you also want to leave
-
You're not going to rock with me.
-
You're going to turn your back on me because everybody else
-
did, you can walk out the door look, people going to walk out
-
of your life. Now, Jesus is asking his
-
disciples and he asking you when times get hard, you going to
-
lead to you gonna give up to. But in Championship terms, what
-
he's saying is we have a mission to fulfill And he's going to get
-
people going to turn their back on me.
-
People not going like your leader, is it mean, you can't
-
expect us to grow and then everything on people on like us
-
more persecution, more hate and you're going to start seeing
-
people. When pressure comes, you're
-
going to see who really rocking this is a very key moment that
-
you have to understand the mindset of a champion, are you
-
willing to lose with me? Oh, love quest.
-
My church home until we lose. Until you get offended until you
-
get challenged. Until you got to be held
-
accountable. Oh, that's what that's my
-
pastor. Oh, Pastor heater either.
-
He did I can call countless people out in here that we
-
didn't went to We did have some real conversations, we didn't
-
help save some families in here that that should have been torn
-
apart sitting in this room right now.
-
And the one thing I feel why you stuck around is because me and
-
my wife, although we expressed frustration or disappointment or
-
correction, our love has not changed for you.
-
And we've only grown stronger together because we had a moment
-
that really wasn't a moment of loss.
-
It was an opportunity of learning.
-
And what is a culture? That's every time pressure.
-
Come we followed. Divorce 50%.
-
You marry seven ties. It ain't the mother seven people
-
problem. Real Champs.
-
We lose together, but if you lose together, you're going to
-
always win. And I'm at a place in my life.
-
I'm trying to build a forever Church.
-
If anybody go are pretty, get sent.
-
But I want to build a church for Generations, but that can't
-
happen. Understand purging is natural.
-
For growth. So, marriages relationships.
-
I can we lose together? Can we just have a little
-
moment? One thing that I learned to
-
practice is if I'm wrong like I'll be intense about what I get
-
on you about and then if I'm wrong I like my bad.
-
That was my bad see on that was you right?
-
That was my bad right? Give me that same energy that
-
you corrected me or Express you was mad.
-
Right? You cussed me out in public.
-
Go ahead. Apologize in public.
-
Don't come and give me no Little Tex.
-
Oh, I'm sorry. But you just embarrass me.
-
Humble yourself. We on our love quest and I'm
-
telling you anointing increase when love tests are passed.
-
It's All About Love. That's what is really about you
-
loving God. You loving your neighbor as you
-
love yourself. Can you humble your?
-
Can we have a community where we're not intimidated because
-
someone else was called like you don't want my job?
-
So if people honor me or honor my wife or honor, the elders are
-
on like, this is a house of Honor period.
-
No matter who get up here. We celebrate a Malia saying, we
-
celebrate see on saying we celebrate Fe and whoever saying
-
Lily anybody saying Caleb 6 saying grace plan, we
-
celebrating We danced together, man.
-
This is family. And I'm telling you, if we
-
cultivate this atmosphere, when people come in here, they will
-
be changed forever. They will be changed forever and
-
whoever is willing to lose with me, go ahead, give God, I read
-
big old Round of Applause, give somebody a high five and say I
-
got your back. We gonna win this thing, we
-
gonna win this thing, we go. Win this thing.
