  1. What's going on? Love quest Nation.

  2. Thank you for tuning into the Love quest podcast.

  3. Get your Bibles ready? Get your notebook, get your

  4. coffee, get some water, whatever you need to do and get ready to

  5. receive the time. Is right now.

  6. Let's go. First and foremost, I want to

  7. thank Pastor Julia and Pastor Terrence for activating me for

  8. entrusting me to share this for me.

  9. The first thing that came to Mind was okay.

  10. They feel that I'm ready and I'm ready, and I'm super excited to

  11. share my testimony because honestly, praise has been my

  12. weapon since I became a Christian, since I became a

  13. daughter, better said, and when I was dealing with fear, when I

  14. was dealing with anxiety, when I was dealing with depression and

  15. heavy spiritual warfare, when I first became a Believer and I

  16. saw all of those giants in the land.

  17. When I lifted up my praise it, Did my entire perspective?

  18. And it made me realize that those giants were just little

  19. ants and that it was my God. That was the giant.

  20. It was my God, that was big. That it wasn't my circumstances.

  21. It wasn't the demons that were coming for me because I was

  22. sharing the gospel. Now, it was God.

  23. Who is The Great? I Am and it shifted everything.

  24. And it lifted all of that anxiety, all of that.

  25. Fear, all of that uncertainty, praise was and always will be my

  26. weapon. My praise kept me believing when

  27. the spirit of Doubt would creep in and my praise cut through and

  28. destroyed the depression that I used to battle with in the times

  29. of most despair when I literally had no answer of how things were

  30. going to work out. When I lifted a praise from the

  31. depth of my soul, I fought back with praise and praise went

  32. before me. So I didn't have to have an

  33. answer. I didn't have to know how when,

  34. where or who but praise was, what kept me anchored?

  35. That my God is good. He is Full and he is the answer.

  36. And the only answer that I ever needed, It anchors me in my

  37. faith, as a proclamation and declaration that if I trust in

  38. him, if I trust in The Great, I Am, I don't have to worry about

  39. a thing. And as the Bible says, for the

  40. spirit of heaviness, put on the Garment of Praise and in my life

  41. that has been the only effective weapon that has worked against

  42. the heaviness that I battled, with time and time again,

  43. there's no point in having a weapon though.

  44. If you don't know how to use it, when a soldier goes to war, they

  45. cannot show up to use, you know, to use their weapons.

  46. And they're all armed but they don't know how to pull out that

  47. sword. They don't know how to use that

  48. gun. They have to know how to use it.

  49. And in the same way Praises like that, it's a weapon that God has

  50. given us a power that we can yield against evil, a weapon

  51. that sharpens our mind, but we have to use it.

  52. And praise is like that when you think about those moments, when

  53. you are in such despair, the Bible says, we put on the full

  54. armor of God, we put on our helmet of salvation.

  55. We put on the breastplate of righteousness.

  56. Righteousness. But if you have that whole armor

  57. and you show up to battle but you don't know what you're

  58. doing. What's the point?

  59. So when you praise and you lift up a praise even if you don't

  60. hit the right notes and you don't know all the right words

  61. you are sharpening your weapon and it confuses the enemy

  62. because when you are in despair, when you are feeling lost and

  63. you still lift up, a praise that confuses, the enemy.

  64. He doesn't know what to do. When you're like Lord.

  65. I love you Lord. I Trust You.

  66. Lord. You Are The Great.

  67. I Am. That is a weapon that is when

  68. you are not only in the armor of God but you are now yielding the

  69. armor of God. You take that sword out of its

  70. sheath and you're actually striking down the enemy.

  71. It confuses the enemy. I know what it feels like to

  72. know that you have confused, the enemy and just like the

  73. Israelites praised and they worshipped as the weapon to take

  74. down the walls of Jericho. We also have that power We have

  75. that authority to praise because when we do that, we slay those

  76. giants. We you don't understand how much

  77. demonic entities cannot stand when you praise, but especially

  78. when you praise, when you don't feel like it, praise is not

  79. supposed to be something that you do.

  80. When you feel like, it praise is something that you do because

  81. God is good and he is get up to you and he will always keep you.

  82. He will never forsake you and he will never leave you.

  83. So I encourage you to pick up your weapon because you open up

  84. portals. You are you also call in the

  85. Angelic realm which is like calling in soldiers.

  86. It's calling in the armed forces of heaven.

  87. So you don't have to fight that battle by yourself with one

  88. weapon, but when we come together as brothers and sisters

  89. and we praise and we worship we all come together and we all use

  90. our weapons. We all use the weapon that God

  91. has. Given us, some will have guns.

  92. Some will have knives. Some will have machine guns.

  93. Some will have, you know, different kinds of weapons but

  94. it's together when we come and unity that those weapons.

  95. Weapons are here for your goodness.

  96. They're not there to stay stagnant there here for you.

  97. Your generations and this entire community.

  98. So I encourage you to lift up your praise because it's a

  99. weapon. I just want to give honor, where

  100. honor is due. Thank you, Pastor Terrence and

  101. Pastor Julie of trusted me with this moment.

  102. I got five minutes to get you this powerful word.

  103. And so I'm so grateful for this opportunity, I do not take it

  104. lightly, but let's get into what the word says in Proverbs 29:18,

    Proverbs 29:18

  105. where there is no vision, the people perish.

  106. In other words, you hear and you stay, they'll say my people

  107. perish for a lack of what knowledge which is attributed to

  108. Vision at Direction clarity. Now, anyone who's had glasses in

  109. their life, you know that Difference between being able to

  110. see and having Vision, I see, when I wake up in the morning,

  111. the first thing I do is I got to put my glasses on because I got

  112. kids, and I'm not about to be stepping on toys and wailing,

  113. like a walrus at 8:00 a.m. it's not happening for me and see the

  114. challenge with, with that is sometimes, it's like, when we're

  115. going through certain situations, where God, like God,

  116. I can't see where I'm going. God, I can't see what I'm

  117. supposed to do, and we freeze up, but I want to let you know,

  118. and I came here for one reason this evening, and that was to

  119. tell you that my Please is my prescription for vision the

  120. whole life, having to go to the optometrist over and over and

  121. over again. In the first thing they do is

  122. they run you through all these sorts of tests, they sit you

  123. down and they're just like, all right, we go check to see how,

  124. essentially, how blind I am, right?

  125. Like it. And it can be really challenging

  126. situation. I found myself because of my

  127. pride being afraid to be honest about the diagnosis because he,

  128. I've gone there a few times and Anytime I have to get a

  129. different prescription but see here's what happens when you lie

  130. about the diagnosis, you lie about how well your for you're

  131. actually seeing in the moment, they can't give you an accurate

  132. prescription. So this is so when you think

  133. about your praise being your prescription for vision.

  134. If I'm not willing to admit that, I need God in every area

  135. of my life. How on Earth can I have an

  136. accurate? Praise.

  137. See an accurate praises and honest.

  138. Praise it says God in the midst of all of my circumstances in

  139. the midst of me. Not knowing where I'm Going God,

  140. I will trust you. Here's the thing going got, it

  141. is difficult for you are good and your mercy is endure forever

  142. because my praise is my prescription to Vision.

  143. See, there's a very special instrument, a very special

  144. instrument out of temperatures off office and it's called a

  145. parameter. And what if a raptor essentially

  146. is it's a mechanism, you sit in front of and they has a whole

  147. bunch of different slides and you have to tell the optometrist

  148. when the vision is starting to get clearer when you're

  149. starting. Ting to see.

  150. This is what this is, your praise.

  151. This is your moment of stepping, in to what God is asking, you,

  152. it's a partnership as you step in and you sit there and they're

  153. like, how's that looking? How's it looking?

  154. Can you see you seen a little better?

  155. Like yeah, God, I can see a little bit better.

  156. Yeah, that's a little more clear.

  157. That's a little more clear. Sometimes gotta be like, let's

  158. go back one. How's this one?

  159. Okay, now how's this? You gotta know how to Heaven

  160. flow in the spirit because when God is trying to get a vision to

  161. you, You gotta be willing to dance a little bit.

  162. It may be frustrating because I can't see it.

  163. I can't see it. Got these like, how's that?

  164. How's that? And then my praise starts to

  165. rise up in this moment. What I see it.

  166. A whole lot more clear than I saw before.

  167. Oh, God doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you were

  168. giving classes, he is equipped you for vision.

  169. I don't care. So, every morning you gotta

  170. choose to stand up, wake up and put your glasses on in the

  171. morning and say God. God, you can't get caught up in

  172. the Saucy. See, I can take my glasses off

  173. right now and I would know that I'm in a building.

  174. I know there's a bunch of people in here, but I have no idea what

  175. you look like. I couldn't see the details, see

  176. when see when you're lacking Vision, you can't get caught up

  177. in the details, you can't get cupcake.

  178. It lost in the sauce being like, Oh, but I thought it was this, I

  179. thought it was that. Nah, sometimes there's a sound.

  180. Sometimes there's a sound that helps direct my vision if l.

  181. John was standing back there and I took my glasses off.

  182. I'll be like, I'll let you know. Where am I going?

  183. We're going a son, you gotta go left, son, you gotta go left,

  184. son, you gotta go right daughter.

  185. You gotta go, right? Gotta you gotta go left and as

  186. you continue to step forward, the closer, you get to something

  187. that Vision becomes clear to see, will equip you in the

  188. moment. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

  189. You can say, first of all, honor where honor is due.

  190. Thank you, Pastor Terrance, and Pastor Julia for the humble

  191. privilege of allowing me to take the stage and share all with

  192. you. What God has put on my heart.

  193. Is it is a humbling privilege. So, thank you in a recent

  194. sermon. Pastor has asked a really

  195. poignant question. He said, would you rather?

  196. I have a bunch of keys that can open a bunch of doors, or would

  197. you rather have one key that can open many doors, right?

  198. And it was like this, resounding, one key master key,

  199. like it was a no-brainer and this is how God works in my

  200. life. So the very next day, I'm at

  201. work and I had a contractor that needed access to a certain room.

  202. So I called a houseman, the three of us were there.

  203. He opened the door letter and, and then he turns to me and he

  204. goes, you, do you have the key to this room, right?

  205. And I was like, no, I don't have this key and he said that's the

  206. key to this door and we went back and forth.

  207. He actually had to show me that all of this time without my

  208. knowledge. I had the master key.

  209. So all of the doors at my job, look at my naivete.

  210. But isn't that how sometimes we walk through life, we have such

  211. access to the Lord and we don't even know it.

  212. So my purse. My Praises my access, and that

  213. took me to Genesis right. Genesis one where the Lord he

  214. gave us dominion and Rule, and authority, and power over

  215. everything. Not just some of the things, but

  216. over everything and then of course, sin came in and

  217. thankfully, thankfully, he mercifully gave us Jesus and

  218. with the blood of the lab we return, we were reconciled back

  219. to the Lord and regained access. but how many of us forget that,

  220. that we have direct access that when Jesus died and he cried and

  221. gave up his spirit that the veil was torn from top to bottom, not

  222. just in half, not just a third of the way, it was fully torn

  223. that we could have communion with him and so it's important

  224. that we pick that up Amen, Ephesians says this, you lived

  225. in this world without God and without hope.

  226. But now you have been indicted with Christ Jesus.

  227. Once you were far from God, but now you have been brought near

  228. to him through the blood of Christ and then a little bit

  229. lower. It says now all of us can come

  230. to the father through the same holy spirit because of what

  231. Christ has done. For us, we have been reconciled

  232. back and we have access. If we use that key, that is

  233. already given. Given to us.

  234. So my praise is the place where I'm uninhibited to allow the

  235. Lord to perform Soul surgery without my head, and my flushed

  236. getting in the way. And I see this in Genesis,

  237. again, we're God put Adam to sleep to grab the rib to make

  238. women, right? He didn't have to but what

  239. Mayhem would have occurred if Adam was awake, right?

  240. And God tried to, you know, reach for his rep.

  241. He probably would have contested that pretty violently, right?

  242. So there is a reason why we use praise to access that space with

  243. the Lord. Thank you.

  244. Paul talks about this is, well, in second Corinthians, he talks

  245. about he goes, I don't know if I was in my body, if I was outside

  246. my body, I have no idea. I don't know.

  247. But all I know is that I was caught up to paradise, and there

  248. are things that I saw and heard that I can't even articulate.

  249. And that's how it feels. When I praise when I praise and

  250. worship the Lord. It is that that beautiful place

  251. where space and time meet and there.

  252. Suspension there. And I don't know how how else to

  253. articulated except for. It is where I am.

  254. I most authentic. Need my most uninhibited, me and

  255. it is a beautiful place. So I encourage you today.

  256. I'm going to make a few declarations about myself and

  257. what praise means to me and my access, but I want you to say it

  258. over yourself. You can in going to go through

  259. this really quickly. Okay, so I want you to pick up

  260. your key into clear this, my Praises, my access.

  261. It is my breathing place where time I'm in space is suspended

  262. and the I'm fits at the feet of I am, it keeps me, fixed on him,

  263. spirit and free and not on me, flesh and controlling my

  264. Praises, my access to the holy spirit's power ability

  265. efficiency and might that allows me to walk out my salvation by

  266. faith and not by sight, it is my reminder that he saved me from

  267. the depths that she'll and continues to lift me higher as I

  268. continue to kneel. It is where I relinquish my And

  269. he covers me holy with his opinion.

  270. It's my shame is undone and my soul can fully fathom the

  271. selfish side. It's the cross section, where I

  272. receive abnormal wisdom, because of divine illumination, the

  273. scales of my soul are removed and by praising him daily, you

  274. can access this experience to as Elder, John said on Sunday,

  275. praise is just what I do. Is there anybody else who's

  276. grateful for his presence? Is there.

  277. Anyone whose please welcome Brianna to the platform?

  278. For those of you don't know, you are in a house of lavish,

  279. praise, you know, with lack of understanding or the lack of

  280. knowledge. We don't have the understanding.

  281. And for those of you who are new here, I want you to understand

  282. that people. Have come from all walks of life

  283. to be here. And you do not know Not know

  284. what people have to go through to get here, then the Holy

  285. Spirit but for those of you don't know before I Found Love

  286. quest I was ready to walk away from the church I'd give it up

  287. on the house of God and you know what God Said?

  288. I haven't forgotten you. And I was looking for, you know,

  289. a house, but God brought me a home.

  290. I want you to know for those that God wants to remind you

  291. that he's not done with you and then he has a home for you that

  292. you're not alone. He sees you and man, he's got a

  293. new song for you and I want you to remember that because it's

  294. going to come to pass when you start singing our new song.

  295. Remember these words So, I have a word for you.

  296. My praise is my victory and it is your Victory.

  297. You know, I used to be someone who didn't know the power of

  298. praise. I really didn't.

  299. And you know what? I grew up overthinking theology

  300. history. I knew the context of the Bible

  301. and you name it. I was walking a life with Christ

  302. without the fruit of the spirit and I met my husband.

  303. Shout out to GT over there and man.

  304. Him because he is a man of ridiculous, praise and joy and I

  305. thought he was crazy, but God didn't work on my heart and when

  306. I found my priests and my victory, that agitation in my

  307. spirit was gone, God has for you too.

  308. And if you don't feel that Joy yet or that piece or that

  309. Victory, it's not done, your story isn't over.

  310. I'm pressing to God. Shout out to West press on.

  311. So what happened was? My husband JD would always say

  312. to me in a bug. The crap out of me and he'd say

  313. Brianna life and death is in the power of your tongue.

  314. And I'd like murmuring, like, come on.

  315. I want a pity party here, understand me.

  316. But he was like, no Brandy would call me higher, and you need

  317. people like that. They call you hire that don't

  318. like you sit in your mess. And so I want to talk about

  319. Power of Words that we release because of life and death.

  320. Truly are in the power of our tongue.

  321. Then God has given us a huge responsibility to Steward.

  322. What we release in this atmosphere.

  323. So words, create sound singing creates on everything you do

  324. makes a sound, I want you to put your fingers on your throat and

  325. hum. Mmm, we also feel sound, so just

  326. like your worship, the praise. Released in this house, it is

  327. not only a random sound, everything you do.

  328. It creates a feeling around you, whether it's Wally, the East,

  329. the atmosphere shift. And so, I want you to be really

  330. aware the power of sound. And words really is life and

  331. death. And so people can feel it all

  332. around. You.

  333. Imagine the healing that can take place through a feeling if

  334. you want healing release, the sound of restoration.

  335. If you want, Victory release your Battle Cry.

  336. If you are believing for joint release a shout of joyous Brave,

  337. Take this even further did you know the research scientists

  338. have made huge breakthroughs in stem cell research by using

  339. sound? Did you know that they have done

  340. ways to heal people, through sound waves, scientists are

  341. discovering ways to heal types of cancer sound waves of

  342. frequencies. They are discovering how to use,

  343. sound regeneration for bones through sound waves in the

  344. cells. And now check this out.

  345. Hebrews 4 verse 12 says, for we have the Living Word of God

    Hebrews 4:12

  346. which is full of energy, like a mouse or even penetrate to the

  347. very core of our being forced to the stage, mr.

  348. JT. All right, all right, all right,

  349. all right. Okay, don't know.

  350. I can talk my wife. What?

  351. Imma Try It. Job, baby.

  352. All right, so I like to thank pastors first and foremost.

  353. Give me the privilege and the opportunity to speak to.

  354. You guys. Don't take this for granted at

  355. all. All right?

  356. When I was looking through praying, trying to figure out

  357. what I say, what would be a good?

  358. What is my praise though? Is that look like?

  359. And it was really hard to narrow down, right?

  360. But it came to me and my praise is my very being now.

  361. Your very being Being being is broken up into two parts.

  362. I'm a coach. So, I like to explain stuff,

  363. right? So I'm going to do, so I being,

  364. I broke it up into Parts in this nature and existence.

  365. All right, nature, and existence.

  366. All right, I'm talking about Mother Nature, I'm talking about

  367. nature, when he said, nature, when you say the word nature, is

  368. defined as a basic inherent feature of something or someone.

  369. All right, who you are? How you look, how you made, how

  370. you made right now, that's the nature.

  371. That's you made in God's image and likeness.

  372. I need your right? There's a stick statement that I

  373. came up with and it says praise is our nature.

  374. That nature is to give praise. I'll say it again.

  375. I hope it hits. Praise is our nature and our

  376. Nature's to give praise. Let me say it one more time, let

  377. me help it praise is our nature and our nature is to give praise

  378. sounds 147 once. 47 star one says, praise the Lord for it is

  379. good to sing praises to our God for it is pleasing.

  380. It is a pleasant and a song of Praise is fitting.

  381. It is pleasant and a song of Praise Is fitted.

  382. That means it's is right. God, God accepts Brakes.

  383. All right, Isaiah 5037 157, 10 says speaks to how God creates

  384. the Praises on our lips. So when we don't have the words

  385. to say, he gives us the words to say you only get in his head

  386. when we don't have the words to say.

  387. He gives us the words to say our nature, our tone, our hands, our

  388. feet, he gives us the word, he gives us the move, he gives it

  389. all they Auntie, he just has it, right?

  390. Right? So, we are made to give him

  391. praise, we've made and every facet of our being, we are made

  392. to give him praise. Someone says, Sing With A Joyful

  393. Noise or he people, clap your hands, right?

  394. Clap, your hands and sing for Joy.

  395. He's given us the things. The tools to give him praise

  396. existence, speaks to a state of living, a way of living, a way

  397. of life. I'm on of life.

  398. So when I say, when I was looking at existing, I was like,

  399. man, existence. And it says, our existence

  400. should exist in should reflect, oh, shit, directly reflect the

  401. place from maidan. So it's not just what you do,

  402. it's who you are. Right?

  403. It's not just what you do is who you are.

  404. So when we come here on Sundays, it's not just no clap your

  405. hands. It's how we demonstrate our

  406. life, how we live our life. When we go up there, right?

  407. When I breathed, it doesn't make the right coffee, you know I'm

  408. saying? You can still going to praise

  409. God. Like, are you going to praise

  410. God and turned on that laptop and, you know, you should be

  411. looking at that site. All right, that Praises God, I

  412. speak in the true Praises. God standing And praying

  413. standing in the gap for someone else.

  414. Praises God, doing the hard things, Praises, god making the

  415. hard decisions, know what I'm gonna go to sleep tonight

  416. because I got this, my life, those those little details

  417. Praises. God, not just clapping.

  418. Our hands singing, These joyful songs.

  419. That didn't that didn't it. That is not just it.

  420. All right. So sounds 150, 150 says, praise

  421. the Lord, right? Please, the Lord.

  422. All you people, please. In the sanctuary prison for his

  423. great. Deeds creates a is good for his

  424. goodness floor. Praise him.

  425. And it also says what, let everything that has breath.

  426. Praise the Lord. When I looked at everything that

  427. wanted to look at the broad breadth, it says, the spirit of

  428. God, the raw God's spirit life-giving be like he when God

  429. created my, I'm a man and I don't eat bread, he breathes

  430. life. He breathed himself into into

  431. into us. He gave he gave us life.

  432. So praise is our life for raises our stronghold.

  433. Princes are very big so when we don't have nothing else, we just

  434. praise, praise, praise, praise him to make up in your mind

  435. every day. Everything that you do choose to

  436. Worship the Lord. Amen.

  437. We got one more powerful word for you so please could be

  438. welcome up to the platform. Missy van Romero.

  439. I just want to say, well first, I Echo the Gratitude that's been

  440. expressed on this platform towards our pastors, Pastor

  441. turns past Julia for this moment.

  442. For your coaching, your encouragement, your love.

  443. Thank you. And Elder John for praying in

  444. that Spirit of unity. We are unified just like

  445. disclaimer. We all sought the Lord on our

  446. own and the Holy Spirit has. We've this message and you'll

  447. find out why? Because a lot is a lot.

  448. Common, so my prey. Is Mikey and the master key for

  449. my bloodline. Now, if I were to give alas

  450. light subtitle to that, it would say learning to praise in the

  451. midst. I think everybody in here could

  452. probably think of at least one thing that you're thankful for

  453. one thing that God has done, even if it's just a very breath

  454. in your lungs. Correct, amen.

  455. So we can all say bless the Lord.

  456. But can we bless the Lord at all times?

  457. Now really at all times, can we bless the Lord in the midst of

  458. the fire in the midst of the prison?

  459. In the midst of the pain? In the midst of the sickness, in

  460. the midst of the death before? Our feelings, catch up to us

  461. before there's resolution and healing.

  462. And when I was asked to speak on this topic, I started thinking

  463. what praise has done for me and what praise means to me now

  464. because I feel That there's a deeper Revelation that I have

  465. now and that's because I've experienced what praise can do.

  466. I've experienced what happens when you choose to praise and

  467. not wait till you feel like it? And I'm talking about this kind

  468. of praise. That's an unconditional praise.

  469. Such a sweet. Aroma goes up to the god of

  470. heaven and he can't help. But to inhabit it.

  471. So I was thinking of the story of Paul and Silas Acts chapter,

  472. 16 verses 16 to 40. I encourage you to go read.

  473. Read it on your own time. And when you read it, please

  474. take your time. Don't just skim over it.

  475. Really grasp? What is happening?

  476. These two Apostles of Christ are unjustly treated.

  477. They are, they were Catalyst for someone's deliverance.

  478. And here, they are sitting in this prison.

  479. They've been beaten. So they're in pain now.

  480. I don't know about you. I've never been to prison bless

  481. the Lord, and I don't know what prison was like back then.

  482. But I imagine it to be like, you know, from a scene from

  483. Gladiator, anyone seen Gladiator.

  484. All right. And you know, it's like

  485. Dungeons. Right like Rats, the stench of

  486. just going to keep it real, the stench of sweat blood urine, God

  487. only knows what cell what else is among them.

  488. And I don't know if I was in their shoes if I would kind of

  489. if praise would be my first response quite honestly, I'd

  490. probably go to the, you know, the natural thing.

  491. God? Why?

  492. Why don't you stop this? Where were you?

  493. You know we can all relate to this, right?

  494. And so this is the If I surprised that I'm talking

  495. about, so, the offering that they gave at that time in the

  496. moment was so potent in the spirit that it actually

  497. physically affected the natural realm that they were in and I

  498. feel like God allowed that story to be in the Bible.

  499. Not just because it's a really cool story but so that we can

  500. have a picture and 2022 of what happens when we praise in the

  501. midst. We have that visual Yeah.

  502. So and I'm not talking about the they've been, I've been hearing

  503. a lot about the sound of praise but I want to stress that the

  504. sound that we're talking about comes from it's not how you sing

  505. and how good you think you can still sing good and look good

  506. and still be in bondage and I will test to that.

  507. I mean, my husband and I used to lead worship And, and I would

  508. say that there were times when it was really good harmonies

  509. were on point, everything was awesome.

  510. Right? People are touch, people are

  511. blessed. And you walk off that stage and

  512. you're still in bondage and even coming to Louisville quest in

  513. the beginning. I've never been in a physical

  514. prison, but I'll tell you right now.

  515. I know what it's like to sit in a prison of unforgiveness.

  516. I know what it's like to sit in the prison of bitterness a

  517. self-hate. And I'm insecurities and I

  518. stayed in that prison for far too long because I didn't

  519. understand the power that was in my praise.

  520. So I'm going to say and I'm going to redefine this and say

  521. praise is a heart posture and it's the part of you that

  522. chooses to bless the Lord to exalt him and magnify him over

  523. your situation while you're in it.

  524. Not after they didn't bless the Lord, when they got released

  525. from the prison, they pray. Tim in the midst, they praised

  526. him in the midst and it was not power.

  527. Oh, you guys listen. They didn't praise when they

  528. felt like it. It was unconditional.

  529. Praise to choose to love the Lord with a fraction of the

  530. agape. Love that he has for us.

  531. And so when I say that Praises Mikey, it's because it's led me

  532. into rounds of freedom. I didn't think possible and

  533. really quickly all my time is up.

  534. Praise is my bloodline. It's the master key in the

  535. bloodline because in that story you see how it wasn't just them

  536. that got free, but it was everyone around them.

  537. So I just want to tell you that unconditional, praise is the

  538. most potent weapon that we can throw back at the enemy.

  539. Stop blaming God for your circumstances because quite

  540. honestly, sometimes our own decisions may get us into these

  541. situations, but sometimes you also trust us with hard time

  542. because he's got a plan that he's working out.

  543. So if We just trust him. I encourage you and I dare you

  544. to bless him now, to praise Him. Now, Praise is your key and the

  545. master key for your bloodline. Hey man, how's everybody feeling

  546. in the house tonight? Wow everybody say wow man who's

  547. encouraged tonight just to see all of the anointed Mighty Men

  548. of God, mighty men and women of God Sharon from their heart all

  549. right on time War. Word.

  550. I want to take this opportunity as well, to thank my pastors,

  551. not only for this opportunity but for showing us as a church,

  552. what it looks like to walk in the anointing, right?

  553. The Bible says the anointing flows from their head down and

  554. it's clear to see that some of that oil is getting off on some

  555. of us in this place. Would you agree with that?

  556. Amen. And so here, I wonder Wednesday

  557. last couple days we've been talking about the anointing And

  558. what the Lord, the definition the Lord recently gave me for

  559. the anointing was the supernatural help of God, which

  560. is made available to those who want to help God do the

  561. supernatural. Okay.

  562. And so a bit about me, My name is Pastor Dylan.

  563. If I haven't met you before, I would consider myself to be a

  564. courageous guy. There's not many things on earth

  565. that I'm scared of. I'm an adrenaline junkie, I like

  566. Adventure. If it is dangerous, I desire to

  567. do it. Okay, for work, I work on a high

  568. voltage. I've climbed Hunter foot, 200

  569. foot steel Towers to work on five hundred thousand volt power

  570. lines. Okay, I've gone back country

  571. solo backpack. Camping in Grizzly, infested

  572. mountains and I have fun doing that.

  573. I bring my gun with me but I still go, right?

  574. But if there's two things, I'm scared of is public speaking and

  575. snakes and ain't it funny that the Lord has called me to both

  576. preach the gospel, the my generation, and tread on a hand

  577. surfing, praise God. And it wasn't until I got around

  578. the Eating God's hell that I was able to fully step into my call

  579. and do just that it wasn't until I came around a mighty man and

  580. woman of God are pastors until the anointing was activated in

  581. my life to do just that. And so the Lord sent me here on

  582. assignment to tell you to remind you or maybe tell you for the

  583. first time that you are anointed for such a time as this.

  584. Amen. And a guy on my crew just got

  585. married in Chilliwack so I got corn on my mind which is what

  586. you see in the background there. I love corn, it's delicious.

  587. The kingdom of God is based on increased, okay?

  588. From the beginning of time, God established Kingdom of Heaven

  589. here on Earth, he set mankind over it and the First Command he

  590. gave them was be fruitful and multiply or increased, right?

  591. And then man screwed it up. So Jesus came back to

  592. re-establish the kingdom. And the last command he gave was

  593. Go Make Disciples right increase.

  594. Okay God. Dated fruits with seed of Their

  595. Own Kind inside, so that it can what increase couple smartypants

  596. in the crowd. Mark for says, this Jesus said,

  597. the kingdom of God, is like a man who scatters seed upon the

  598. ground and then continue sleeping and Rising day and

  599. night. Well, the seed sprouts and grows

  600. and increases. He knows not how the Earth

  601. produces by itself. First the blade, then the ear

  602. Here. And then the full grain in the

  603. ear. And I've read this many times

  604. past has been preaching on it recently, but the lord gave me a

  605. new revelation by the Holy Ghost recently.

  606. Would it be? All right, if I shared it with

  607. you tonight, all right, here it comes.

  608. So it says that the kingdom is like a man who scatters this

  609. theme right? First the blade, then the ear,

  610. then the full grain or the final product in the ear and Amazon

  611. meditating on this. The Lord show me, man.

  612. The blade is a lot like a sore, right?

  613. And the Bible tells me about a sword called The Sword of the

  614. spirit, which is the word of God, which was made flesh to

  615. dwell Among Us, right? Jesus Christ is the one I'm

  616. talking about here as the blade he came to cut the veil which

  617. Separated us between. God, he pierced through a hard

  618. spot, he pierced through the ground, which was sin, which

  619. once kept a separated, right? And then he said that those who

  620. hear my message and receive it would be the church, right?

  621. And so we see the kingdom is like the word of God, which was

  622. released and those received it. And one day the church is

  623. working towards the day of Glory, where it will be

  624. glorified. The Bible says, Christ is

  625. returning for his spotless bride, okay?

  626. And so, there is a work in progress happening right here.

  627. The church has a role to play to bring God's glory, to completion

  628. to gather as many Souls as they can.

  629. Until that day, which is Dawning where Christ returns, John. 15

  630. says, I am. Sprouting Vine.

  631. And you are my branches. This is Jesus, talking here, as

  632. you live in Union with me, say, living Union.

  633. As your Source fruitfulness will stream from within you but when

  634. you live separated from from me, you're powerless, your power

  635. comes when you live in and life Union with Jesus, right?

  636. Your life Union with the anointed one, determines the

  637. life anointing. You walk in.

  638. Amen. Amen.

  639. Acts 10:38. Jesus how God anointed and

    Acts 10:38

  640. consecrated Jesus, who Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit

  641. and with strength and ability and power how he went about

  642. doing good, say doing good. And in particular curing all who

  643. were harassed and oppressed by the power of the devil for God

  644. was with them, this good work that Jesus did was he free

  645. people from the kingdom of darkness and he translated them

  646. into the Kingdom of Light. That's what the anointing is

  647. given to do, right? And so what the Lord showed me,

  648. okay? How God?

  649. Sorry? Go back.

  650. How God? Anointed Jesus.

  651. The anointing is on Jesus. The anointing is On the word of

  652. God, which is Jesus, Jesus message, and the word, the Bible

  653. says, the anointing flows from the head down down the beard,

  654. and into the rest of the body. The church is known as the body

  655. of Christ. So the church has a job to do

  656. this, good work. And the anointing is the power

  657. to get her done as we like to say on the island.

  658. All right. And so what the Lord revealed to

  659. me, is now the window of opportunity to do good is

  660. closing as we draw near to the last days or Christ comes to

  661. reclaim his bride right, where the, this is where Pentecost

  662. happened, where the spirit of God fell on his church, right?

  663. And we are to walk in life Union.

  664. Walk in the anointing in order to win people and expand or

  665. increase the kingdom of God. And that window of time is

  666. drawing the window of opportunity to do good is

  667. closing, right? And so the Lord sent me here

  668. tonight to tell me to tell you that there is an acceleration on

  669. harvest in these last days because God needs to get his

  670. power on earth, right? Yeah, in these last days, the

  671. Bible tells us it will grow dark, right?

  672. The Bible tells us that the world will love what is evil and

  673. will hate what is good right? You don't all you got to do is

  674. turn on the news to see that this is the sad reality or state

  675. that our world is coming to, right?

  676. But make no mistake. The darkness has never overcome

  677. the light. The prophet Isaiah says that

  678. gross Darkness shall cover the Earth, but my glory shall fall.

  679. Upon my church. Church and it will be the light

  680. that draws. All men unto salvation.

  681. The church is not going out weaker, but the church is going

  682. out stronger. We're not going out with less

  683. anointing. We're going out with more

  684. anointing. And the true church is not

  685. discouraged by the darkness around us.

  686. We in fact, are in Courage because we know that where sin

  687. abounds Grace abounds, all the more there is He's for us in

  688. these final days church and so as I invite the worship team on

  689. stage as they get ready to close.

  690. With this final song, I'm going to reread some scripture that

  691. are manic. God, declared over this house,

  692. just a couple weeks ago. Okay, Amos 9 says this, that the

  693. days are coming, declares the Lord.

  694. When the reaper will be overtaken by the plow man and

  695. the planter by the one, treading grapes knew why.

  696. Why shallow new wine will Drift from the mountains and flow from

  697. all the hills and what this is telling you is that you will

  698. still be collecting the Harvest from the past harvest season.

  699. When it comes time to start sewing again that the Harvest is

  700. going to be. So lavish, that the reaper will

  701. be overtaken by the plow man. And so this next three months is

  702. about getting into position, for the poor that God is searching

  703. for. All people to fill with his new

  704. wine, his abundance, the bill with his fresh anointing which

  705. is the power. And I came here to tell you

  706. tonight that you brother you sister are anointed for such a

  707. time as this give a big clap of Praise.

  708. If you have received that message here tonight.
