  20. wonderful day. It's already a good day.

  21. When I hop back in the insufficient funds, I don't know

  22. about you, man. But God has even day one of the

  23. three months has already been bringing rest in my life.

  24. It's funny when you decide to clean stuff, you've been

  25. clinging to how Freedom comes. You think you need more and the

  26. Lord says you just need less, you need that less stress.

  27. Some of you need less friends. All them people, ain't your

  28. friends. Right.

  29. You need left. Less coffee meetings.

  30. Hey man, you need less apps. You need less, less social

  31. media. You need to stay out of you need

  32. to stay out of more people's business.

  33. So, less nosy. Right.

  34. Look at your neighbor and say, put your nose back on your face,

  35. amen. Put your nose back on your face,

  36. amen. But the idea is not enough.

  37. Is what? Come on, not enough is what one

  38. more time, not enough is what more than enough in a world

  39. where we are driven by more driven by big driven by next.

  40. And we are driven in a world where it's, like, grind if you

  41. don't grind you xuu not successful in, like I said, big

  42. doesn't mean strong small doesn't mean week.

  43. But if you are a child of God, you can't live and be nourished

  44. by the things of the world. Period Point Blank.

  45. You can't live 100% in Trust of the world's economy.

  46. Point Blank. It just won't work.

  47. Write your trust, can't be 100% in government officials spouses

  48. children jobs. It just does not work that way.

  49. And what I find is there is more Believers that are as stressed

  50. out as anxious as double minded as angry as divorced as addicted

  51. to drugs as depressed as anxious as the world.

  52. So what you get saved from We got just as many people in the

  53. church that watch porn. Where would you get saved from?

  54. Just, as many people that smoke medicinal marijuana.

  55. Right? You don't make it more Godly cuz

  56. it's medicinal or you got to bet you have back issues before you

  57. had a card. Amen.

  58. I just smell it in the room. Somebody somebody you still, you

  59. didn't wash his jeans. Good enough.

  60. I don't know who you are, but, amen.

  61. No, but the point is, is the world's ways.

  62. I'm telling you, they're fading. So anyone in here, that depends

  63. on the world, let me tell you straight up, you will be

  64. disappointed soon. Don't let another pandemic

  65. happen. Well, here's the good news, it's

  66. many happening already. Just the world is not calling

  67. you to alert. What if we just stopped

  68. everything because of racism? What if we stop everything

  69. because of Injustice on an Aboriginal people?

  70. What have we just shut down and told everybody don't go back to

  71. work until you learn how to love.

  72. Right. That's not the world's priority,

  73. that's the Kingdom's priority. So the Lord saying Paul's until

  74. we so we can advance the kingdom because the world is going to

  75. hell in a handbasket and the Christians going to walk him up

  76. to the door. What I mean by like we eternally

  77. safe. But if we're not doing anything,

  78. we're escorting, the lost people to hell.

  79. Are you an escort? Amen.

  80. You called to be an escort to one place or another heaven or

  81. hell. And if you believe hell is a

  82. real place, you got to believe Heaven is.

  83. If you believe hell's on Earth, you got to believe the kingdom

  84. can be on earth as well. The kingdom of God, choose you

  85. this day life or death. I'm a dive right into this

  86. because I could just talk to you all day because you family,

  87. second Corinthians 12, but he answered me.

  88. My grace is always, I hope I don't get stuck on always.

  89. But what is always mean? Every time, every circumstance,

  90. every situation, every relationship, all day, Erry day,

  91. say always, he's always more than enough.

  92. What is more mean? What is more than Greater than

  93. Can't Touch This. Peon. huh exceedingly, overflow

  94. more than Iggy. So let's take out enough and

  95. let's put your problems there. Come on.

  96. You all wish we use the church that handed you a little little

  97. piece of paper where you can fill in the blanks know.

  98. Some of y'all have filled in the blank on the paper and not in

  99. your heart. Amen.

  100. Talk to him. Pastor, talk to him Pastor more

  101. than no, no no, you wasn't listening.

  102. More than yo problems. More than sick.

  103. Come on. Talk to me.

  104. Huh, won't you tell your neighbor one at the blank?

  105. Because y'all just all talking to me is overwhelming me right

  106. now. Tell tell your neighbor more

  107. than Anybody sitting next to somebody.

  108. That didn't give them an answer. Alright?

  109. Talk to isn't gonna give him a chance against a the Lord needs

  110. you to interact. Come on, more than what More

  111. Than Pride. More Than Pride, your husband

  112. said More Than Pride. So the Lord's working on his

  113. heart, Take more than what. Fries.

  114. Yeah. Hey, who got French fry issues?

  115. Who got French fry issues. That's what weak spot on me.

  116. Amen. All right.

  117. He's always, that's a mouthful, he's always more than enough.

  118. He's not always enough. The Lord didn't come in your

  119. life to be enough. Right?

  120. You go to a job and they can pay you enough, but the Lord doesn't

  121. come in your life to be enough, he comes in your life to be what

  122. more than enough, come on scream out.

  123. More than enough, look for you, not me.

  124. I bet most of you believe that he's good and more than enough

  125. for someone else but he's more than enough for you Lily.

  126. And my power Finds Its full expression, always more than

  127. enough full expression. So he also does not come in your

  128. life to do part of a job. Full expression through your

  129. weakness, not your education. Through your weakness, not your

  130. pride. Look, he says I can fully

  131. Express who I am through your weakness.

  132. So why do we keep our weakness from him?

  133. He don't work. I'll tell you man, covered up

  134. stuff it down. Keep it pushing, especially

  135. where I grew up. We ain't had time to be weekly

  136. at time to cry. We didn't have time to get no

  137. therapy. Couldn't afford.

  138. No therapy. So, we have to keep it pushing.

  139. We have to do the best, we knew how we didn't have resources, we

  140. didn't have the money daddy gone.

  141. That's just where I'm from. Prostitution, drug addiction.

  142. That's that deaths. So and you live in and there's

  143. places in this world. They don't have no other choice,

  144. but God, that's why they see God with a lot of you.

  145. And here got options, God's one of them.

  146. And what's God saying, as I don't want to be an option.

  147. I'm first foremost, I'm everything, right.

  148. Some of you putting your joy and happiness on hold till you get

  149. married. You putting your joy and

  150. happiness on hold till you start your career, putting your joy

  151. and happiness on hold till you get accepted in that college

  152. like Joy is not given to you to be put on hold.

  153. It looks a, I will not put my joy on hold another hour.

  154. What did your neighbor say you shouldn't too?

  155. He said, full expression, his full expression, I don't know

  156. about you but I don't want God's part expression but full

  157. expression through your weakness.

  158. So here's what he says in response to what God Said, I

  159. will then celebrate my weaknesses.

  160. He did not say I'm going to walk around and say I'm a heck of a

  161. week on week. I'm defeated.

  162. Feed it. Hay.

  163. Defeat it a she got over on me. She got over on me.

  164. Devil is defeated. I see that some of these.

  165. All right. He said I was celebrating my

  166. weakness. So instead of instead of

  167. magnifying my defeat or my weakness, I magnify his victory

  168. over my weakness. So he said I celebrate my

  169. weaknesses. He's not merely celebrating.

  170. Oh, I'm in a pit. Oh, I'm sick.

  171. Oh, I've been left. I've been isolated.

  172. I've been I've been left behind. Oh, I got fired.

  173. Oh, I'm ignorant in certain areas of my life.

  174. Oh, I don't have the degree or the resume to do.

  175. Oh no, he's saying that my God can, my God will he celebrating

  176. is weaknesses in God's strength and the problem is in your

  177. weakness. Can you put the attention on God

  178. and not? Circumstance.

  179. He said o magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name

  180. together. Your solution is in one of his

  181. name's. So, you can talk about the

  182. solution or you could talk about the problem.

  183. Dealing with sickness, don't magnify sickness, magnify Rafa?

  184. Magnifying Rafa is not ignoring sickness.

  185. You ever, I don't know if he uses language here but back

  186. home. Maybe like, I'm gonna sic my dog

  187. on you. Right here, Canada sick.

  188. You see? Yeah, cuz I ain't never seen no

  189. dogs here. That's like, that's like yeah.

  190. Dogs here apologetic. Hey dogs back home.

  191. Take your Slurpee. They just be like, give me give

  192. me this email slurry. All right so this is what I'm

  193. saying. Y'all got to get some strength

  194. about yourself. And sick the word on your

  195. circumstance. When we start the series on The

  196. champ is here, when we talking about Championship, what is it

  197. too? Because a lot of people

  198. everybody in here know how to lose and not everybody in here,

  199. know how to win winning is not passive or accidental, winning

  200. you go for it, it's intentional right?

  201. It starts as a kid because if you played Sports, you probably

  202. played on a basketball team with 30 people and everybody got a

  203. shot. You probably never got cut here.

  204. I've been cut before every kid. If they're trash, should get cut

  205. and if your kid get cut, stop lying to your kid and don't be

  206. the parent asking the coach. Why my kid ain't playing?

  207. Know, if you want your kids to get some playing time, start

  208. working on their skills. Because that bleeds into life

  209. and it bleeds into your Christianity.

  210. Victory came from the Lord's. Not the devil.

  211. The devil is the loser. Death is the loser.

  212. So when you, when you, when you are raised in a certain culture,

  213. you take it into the kingdom and it doesn't work for you.

  214. So you settle for a passive religious experiences and you

  215. come to a place like this, where we like, yeah, like a winning

  216. team fans do. I'm from California.

  217. So and I'm from Oakland California, so I've experienced

  218. championships, Golden State, Warriors Oakland, A's 49ers

  219. Raider, we won a few, we won a few so understand that

  220. championships impact the region The economy increases when

  221. winning teams are in it. Let me sit down for a second

  222. because y'all slow this morning. Okay.

  223. So when our team is winning we play longer than any City and

  224. then when we're in playoffs and Championship all the media comes

  225. to where the last two teams are playing.

  226. I'm coming all the media. All over the world comes to

  227. where the championship game is and you get all those people

  228. coming in, hotels are hotel, and they don't just sell out, but

  229. they get a right to increase, the prices Champions, bring

  230. value wherever they go. Come on, man.

  231. And that's why when we start this series, I am going to have

  232. a section where we call it trash.

  233. Talk, we need more Christians. Know how to trash talk.

  234. You too quiet, you too quiet. You just let the player go you

  235. let the devil dribble pass. You you'll let the devil and his

  236. demons run all over you and you just like only go right ahead

  237. know you better learn how to trash talk.

  238. You better learn how to remind yourself and the devil who you

  239. are, who got your back. That's what Elijah said.

  240. You please open the eyes of my servant, show him there's more

  241. for us than there are against us trash talk.

  242. We just give that to the world, it's just like, no Jesus with

  243. Jesus, always Trash Talk think of some of the things he said,

  244. prove vipers. What?

  245. That's the whitewashed old. Oh, that's what's up, doesn't

  246. like Michael. Jordan was saying that's what

  247. Ochocinco was saying. That's what trash-talking

  248. athletes would say. And you know what?

  249. When he was talking trash, he wasn't always talking to the

  250. opposing team. He was talking to his teammates

  251. because they was too soft. That was accountability on the

  252. team, stop running from accountability, stop running

  253. from people that challenge you and call you hire.

  254. You cannot be on a championship team.

  255. If there's no Aura in the locker room that we all call each

  256. other. Higher.

  257. You can't be a championship team If You Don't Know Your Role.

  258. Stop going after other people's roles.

  259. That's not how Championship on a championship team.

  260. Somebody giving up shots, Somebody taking a pay cut.

  261. Somebody sacrificing something. I'm celebrating my weaknesses

  262. and the celebrating your weekend when you celebrate praise is a

  263. form of trash talk. It's a weapon, it's trash talk.

  264. When you praise God, that's, that's kind of what he says.

  265. He says, enter into his gates with praise.

  266. Why? Because there's Gates, right.

  267. There's there's, there's an opposer.

  268. There's there, there's things in the way of getting to the throne

  269. room and you can't just want intimacy.

  270. Without praise to enter in. Let me know who he is, but I'm

  271. not just letting God know who he is.

  272. He know who he is. I'm reminding myself.

  273. But I'm also putting a hell on notice that I know who he is.

  274. And no thought, no doubt, no lie that you planted in my head in

  275. my bloodline, will I pay attention to?

  276. When I praise is a form of ignoring the enemy and that's

  277. why some of you shouldn't sit here with your mouth closed.

  278. Because you can't ignore by thinking sometime, you gotta

  279. tell you. Body what's happening?

  280. And when you use your voice and you you you exalt and you push

  281. forth, energy, things shift Forget the kingdom of God, go to

  282. a ball game, the energy in a winning house.

  283. Why do people go to ball games, their entertainment?

  284. You want to get away from the things of the world.

  285. So you go to a game and you go to a good game, let me help you.

  286. Why do losing teams stadiums? Stay in pee.

  287. Right? And some of us act like we ain't

  288. got nothing to cheer for But wherever there is a championship

  289. team. Right, let me help you your city

  290. doesn't need the Canucks. To win a championship.

  291. They don't need BC Lions to win a championship.

  292. We don't need an NBA team here. What we need is a church that is

  293. full of Life. Full of Celebration that don't

  294. mind a little Trash Talk that don't mind going in the

  295. marketplace and owning your little bit of Swag and, and your

  296. Until It Go in Whole Foods, go go, wherever you go to Versace,

  297. you go, wherever you, go take the trophy with you.

  298. And walking with our head down and all that man.

  299. Stop making excuses. Championship teams, do what they

  300. got to do to get in shape to win.

  301. It's all not to feed it. I'm not defeated by my weakness,

  302. but I'm delighted. Because it's an opportunity for

  303. me to know, God for God to take care of his son.

  304. Let me let me let me help you out.

  305. Let me alone me. Oh yeah I'm not gonna lie.

  306. I really don't like being sick. But the part I like about being

  307. sick is like it taken care of It's like, almost it's like you,

  308. you praying to get well. But this soon as you get, well,

  309. you like dang, like I gotta go get my own food now, Ain't

  310. nobody calling like Pastor. You okay, I'm praying for you.

  311. I'm declaring over your life that you were healed from the

  312. crown of your head, to the sole GOP.

  313. Why you weren't calling me before?

  314. Right. This is what he's saying when

  315. I'm sick. It gives God an opportunity to

  316. take care of me. in a way that doesn't pull on him because I

  317. don't need him the same way when I'm well, it's like we celebrate

  318. when God and trust us with blessing.

  319. But the highest form of blessing.

  320. Is he trust you with trouble? And so, what he's saying, is, I

  321. learned not to despise trouble because if he's allowed trouble,

  322. it must mean that he's honoring me with his strength.

  323. And never in life, will I ever have an opportunity to need this

  324. verse? Once I die.

  325. So the blessing is that this the celebration went on week counts

  326. more than when I'm not. And we'll all give a thank

  327. offering when it's all good when you get promotion.

  328. But boy, let me it would help. Love quest, get through the

  329. pandemic is we are appraising house and when your house a

  330. celebration, you don't need the doors open.

  331. You just need a place to celebrate.

  332. Like, I could not could imagine being a church shutting down.

  333. We followed the rules. To the teeth, but for the

  334. newcomers middle, lord gave us. That Revelation is the church

  335. needs to learn how, you know, in football, when the quarterback

  337. so he'll throw it out of bounds. But in reach, So we read the

  338. laws. To understand our boundaries.

  339. But anywhere what God Said is, no, I need you to read and I

  340. need you to stretch and so when we did certain things you can

  411. He didn't steal my wake up. He mad.

  412. He couldn't. Stop my get up.

  413. So I'm going to rub it in his face and let him hear my speak

  414. up. You better start speaking up.

  415. Trash talk that joker. He know. see, I got a feeling

  416. this, some people in here, if you play, you know, Sports you

  417. would you feel bad beating someone

  418. But I also know the thief is furious, you and death broke up.

  419. He should look at the fact you're now aware of your back up

  420. and he's confused about your decision to put lack up.

  421. We are stepping into the land of more than e-enough.

  422. For some people some people may not understand maybe you still

  423. want to date death and sickness. That's on you go.

  424. Right ahead. Go right ahead but but he mad

  425. that I broke up like 2007 I broke up with death and defeat

  426. and sickness. I broke up.

  427. You gotta break up. You can't wait for our use of

  428. anybody in here that be waiting for the person to break up with

  429. them. Let me help you.

  430. Death is never going to leave. You alone sickness will never

  431. leave your body alone until You learn how to break up with it.

  432. And the way you break up with it, is you do not associate

  433. yourself with it and just because I don't associate myself

  434. with something that is a Earthly reality does.

  435. Not mean, I'm ignoring what I'm going through what I'm saying is

  436. is just like whoever created the airplane.

  437. They didn't allow the law of gravity to stop them from doing

  438. something that will absolutely transform the world.

  439. The law of gratitude gravity was defied.

  440. So What I'm telling you the same way the law of gravity was

  441. defied. Then also the law of sickness

  442. and death can be defied. But you gotta what?

  443. Push back. You gotta break up with what

  444. other people think. I can't imagine what it took

  445. for. Noah.

  446. Can't imagine what it took to create airplanes.

  447. It took some failure. It took some frustration.

  448. It took people not wanting to invest in this crazy idea.

  449. But look at us now. Flying all over the world in the

  450. air for 15 hours. What kind of if it wasn't for

  451. snacks and TV and a comfortable chair, I freaked out Really

  452. thinking about I'm in the air and there's nothing we can do

  453. about it if this plane goes down, except pray. so, if you're

  454. willing to put your life in an airplane, How are you not

  455. willing to talk trash and oppose whatever you're going through?

  456. You ignore the law of gravity. When you get in the airplane and

  457. you got the nerve to spend $2000, to go to some other

  458. country and then spend money on hotels, B, new shades, get

  459. sandals. You see how you prepare to do

  460. crazy? What are you prepared?

  461. You not thinking that you might not make it back.

  462. You told your job, you'll be back.

  463. You took vacation time, which means you plan, when your

  464. vacation over to come back to what work, see what faith is?

  465. You planned it, you spend money, you save for it, you know what

  466. we do? And when we praise, we're saving

  467. for a rainy day. T.i., put praise up.

  468. So when sickness come, I got reason to pull praise down.

  469. I got reason to pull Heaven down because I invest.

  470. I'm not just a worshipper, when it's all good.

  471. I'm going to worship her all the time.

  472. God is good. What?

  473. All the time all the time. God is good.

  474. So is anybody ready to break up? Some of y'all came in, sitting

  475. you sitting with sickness. Oh, the ushers didn't

  476. seasickness with you but you got them.

  477. It is see anger with you but you gotta didn't see insecurities

  478. with you. You might be an empty seat next

  479. to you but you got you you got somebody sitting with you break

  480. up with him right now. Let's pray into that.

  481. Whoever you are, whatever it is, right?

  482. Where you are just for a second. It don't take long just declare

  483. over yourself. I will not associate with you

  484. sickness. I will not associate with you

  485. rage. I will not associate with you

  486. insecurity. I will not associate with you

  487. poverty. I will not associate with you

  488. suicide. I will not have.

  489. So today is the day of break up eviction.

  490. Notice right now, in Jesus name you got to go Spirit of defeat.

  491. You gotta go you gotta go right now.

  502. All the way up. Yeah.

  503. Stop top. It's going up from here.

  504. The thief has only one thing in mind.

  505. He wants to steal, Slaughter and Destroy.

  506. We know his motive. A lot of us will focus on the

  507. first part, but I'm like, let's just chop that part out and

  508. focus on the second part. But my savior, my God, my Lord,

  509. my master. My Redeemer has come to give me

  510. and you everything, I say everything, everything,

  511. everything. Now, let me make it clear.

  522. You can't enjoy it. If you ain't have it.

  523. Say I got joy. And here's the thing.

  524. In Jesus Christ, you do have joy.

  525. When are you enjoying it? You can have a nice house and

  526. not enjoy it just because you're not enjoying Joy.

  527. Don't mean you don't have joy just because you don't feel

  528. joyful. Don't mean Joy is not there.

  529. He said I came that they may have Right?

  530. He came. He died and he rose.

  532. not a paycheck Joy. It's not a spouse Joy.

  734. every Church in every generation through Jesus Christ and all

  735. that will yet be manifest through time.

  737. So then he says we offer up to God all glorious praise.

  738. That rises from what, every Church in every generation,

  739. there should be the trait of praise.

  780. pattern of life is its old man. Is it?

  781. So coming to church and just happy with the service being

  782. inspired taking notes and don't live the word of God?

  792. rest of history in this community.

  793. Matthew 6, don't keep hoarding for yourselves Earthly,

  794. Treasures that can be stolen by thieves material wealth

  795. eventually. Rust decays and loses, its value

  796. instead stockpile. Heavenly Treasures.

  811. through being a part of this community, the devil can't steal

  812. that from us. Right?

  813. I can give you a jacket but guess what?

  817. yourselves, that cannot be stolen and will never rust Decay

  892. have to live off of and even in college you may have to live off

  893. of that but you don't go to bed start.

  894. That's what God's promises. This is what we got to.

  895. I don't even know if we're gonna get to it this morning but but

  896. most of what stresses us out is not needs its once and all God

  897. is saying, is do not let once stress you out.

  898. Because you're going to be mad at him because he's not

  899. promising. You once the where he promises,

  900. you once is where you desire him and he'll give you the desires

  901. of your heart. But what he will provide for any

  902. person, believer or non-believer is needs.

  903. No, no, you bought that house, you overreached?

  920. So you better fall in love with that half a cheeseburger before

  932. No, it's about Jesus said it's about hygiene.

  933. Okay? Right, double down.

  934. Look at your neighbors. Hey man, don't look.

  935. Don't look at your neighbor. So then forsake your worries.

  936. Why would you say what will I eat?

  937. What will we drink? Or what will we wear?

  938. But that is what the unbelievers chase.

  939. Doesn't your heavenly father already know the things your

  940. body requires. See, I could come to church

  941. every Sunday without needing a breakthrough because I know he

  942. knows my needs, you ready? He even knows what you need

  943. that. You don't know you need.

  944. So above all constantly seek God's kingdom and his

  945. righteousness. Say then all these less

  946. important things. Wait a minute.

  947. Your God says, the stuff you tripping on is, the least

  948. important thing. He's tripping on Wow.

  949. So you bombarding heaven with stuff, God is like, what you

  950. say? What you did what?

  951. You worried about that. These least important things

  952. will be given to you abundantly. So it sounds like he has things

  953. on his mind for you. Because he knows you're in a

  954. world where things Witness Ah, oh, did I just give you a motive

  955. for wanting things? I want abundance, so that I can

  956. help people and it's not the abundance that so witness.

  957. It's, the being able to help people, that's a witness.

  958. It's being able to be a lender and not a borrower.

  959. ER, it's being able to bless of mom blessed.

  960. Dad bless a family is being able to hire people that the world

  961. won't hire and give people a chance.

  962. There's a reason for abundance, God wants to bless you but all

  963. he said, Asking you to do is switch your motives up.

  964. You don't work for a living, you work for a given.

  965. So refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each

  966. challenge, that comes your way, one day at a time tomorrow,

  967. we'll take care of himself. And if you wake up tomorrow and

  968. there's nothing to worry about, don't pull tomorrow's worries

  969. into today. Let tomorrow's worries.

  970. Wait for you tomorrow till tomorrow I see it in.

  971. You said I'm saying, sometime you get you off work, your bills

  972. are paid. Maybe one of them, not you got

  973. food in the fridge. And you just sitting there

  974. making yourself, worried about something.

  975. Now you're stressed out because you off work.

  976. Oh, I feel lazy. I got to be doing something

  977. right. What we just worry so much and

  978. then we get on Instagram like, wow, they look like they having

  979. fun today. Let me get one of them.

  980. You see another people dating you like?

  981. Oh my God, like God come through for me.

  982. Just like that, come through for me, Jesus.

  983. Right, declare. Same guy right now is ain't got

  984. back. Then if you did it for them, you

  985. can do it for me. I read these couple slides and

  986. we go home. True poverty is not having your

  987. basic needs met. You ain't poor cuz you can't eat

  988. out at a certain place. Stop it.

  989. McDonald's is food. Some of it on the menu and not

  990. but some of it is get the salad, right?

  991. A salad is good like Last Resort, you know I'm saying?

  992. And don't be the person like, oh my kids.

  993. Just wanted McDonald's know, you digging in a on that as that bag

  994. past you in the drive, through you.

  995. You ready, not having your needs met is evil.

  996. Restlessness due to not having what I want is recklessness and

  997. negligence. Being Restless over, a lack of

  998. wants is reckless. It's not stewarding your piece

  999. being Restless over. What?

  1000. I not having what I want. And here's the question.

  1001. Are you losing sleep over needs or wants?

  1002. It's coming up there in a second?

  1003. Be honest. Are you losing sleep?

  1004. Are you anxious? some folks anxious because they

  1005. anxious You don't have nothing to be anxious about, you just

  1006. anxious because you anxious, you anxious because stuffing

  1007. hurrying up. Start offloading today stuff.

  1008. You can't control. You can't control your mama.

  1009. Mom's going to act a fool Pop's. Going to do what he do.

  1010. Friends go, but you can't control that Here's a couple

  1011. questions. Who said you need that?

  1012. This week, here's your homework write a list of needs and wants.

  1013. And the stuff on the one side, don't let yourself stress over

  1014. it another day. She kabob.

  1015. Okay. Yep.

  1016. We'll stop there. We'll stop right here.

  1017. Let me give you this. It's great place to stop Man's

  1018. first sin. You'll love this elder.

  1019. John did you lure slap me in the head this morning when I was I

  1020. think you ought to pay attention to this?

  1021. I'm sure all you guys know this, but I didn't really pay

  1022. attention. It is, but Man's first sin was

  1023. not trusting in God's resources and provision.

  1024. He said don't eat from that tree.

  1025. Everything was good. And we just had to have that one

  1026. surgery. We just had to eat off that one

  1027. tree. He's like you can have all of

  1028. these trees in the garden. Just don't eat off of that one.

  1029. We fail because we didn't trust God.

  1030. We fail because of greed, we were not satisfied with all them

  1031. trees. We just had to eat off the one.

  1032. He said don't touch and then our eyes was open to the knowledge

  1033. of Good and Evil. I exposed myself to a world of

  1034. Temptation. This is what I'm after.

  1035. True enrichment comes from the blessing of the Lord with rest

  1036. and contentment in knowing that, it all comes from him.

  1037. The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with

  1038. it. Neither the strolling increase

  1039. it. I want the blessing more than I

  1040. want blessings and it is a difference.

  1041. This is the blessing of the Lord is an empowerment.

  1042. It is favor on your life. It's what Joseph had in a pit as

  1043. a slave with only the Garment on his back.

  1044. The blessing of the Lord was on him and trust me, when the

  1045. blessing is on, you, people will see it.

  1046. There's some stuff that you and I will never have to work for

  1047. I'll speak for myself. There's some stuff that I desire

  1048. that I will never have to work for because I am not ashamed to

  1049. wear the blessing. Everything that you desire,

  1050. doesn't mean you have to work for it.

  1051. So we must repent from the striving life and enlist

  1052. ourselves into the thriving life of Jesus Christ.

  1053. Which he says that we should walk in.

  1054. And Livin the good life, that was pre-arranged and made ready

  1055. for us to live. The good life was already

  1056. prepared for you. What you stressing, I didn't say

  1057. stress won't be at the door. I didn't say stress won't be

  1058. around you. I wish I didn't say you will not

  1059. feel stress. What I'm telling you is you do

  1060. not let stress dictate your actions.

  1061. So as Jesus says repent change your inner self change your old

  1062. way of thinking regret past sins.

  1063. Leave your life in a way. That proves repentance y'all

  1064. think that doing drugs and having sex and lust in is sin,

  1065. not trusting God is sin. So you can look at the sex

  1066. trafficking you can look at all the things in your eyes that you

  1067. think saying is but not trusting God is as big as Sin.

  1068. So see God's purpose for your life.

  1069. For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and simply what he's

  1070. telling you is that John 10:10 life is at hand so turn and this

    John 10:10

  1071. is what I will say entering God's.

  1072. Rest is a fruit of repentance. One of my top guns is rest and

  1073. lastly the devil can't stand a person with rhythm toys and Pace

  1074. in the grace of God. God flows in a rhythm and

  1075. worries. Throws us off rhythm.

  1076. I don't know about you, but it's hard dancing with somebody

  1077. that's all beat. Especially a slow dance.

  1078. And God walking with the Lord, as a rhythm.

  1079. It's a rhythm. Fighting this good fight of

  1080. Faith. It's a rhythm.

  1081. And you need poet is what does that mean?

  1082. When pressure comes you still, you don't lose it.

  1083. You can still think straight, you're consistent Under

  1084. Pressure. Your character don't change

  1085. Under Pressure Love, Don't Change.

  1086. Under Pressure piece, may be shaken but it's not taken under

  1087. pressure. Lift your hands Right Where You

  1088. Are. Worship team.

  1089. Just lift your hands, Right Where You Are. and just take the

  1090. next couple minutes, you're just going to Man, the Lord wants you

  1091. to push some things down today. What are you worried about that?

  1092. You cannot control turn it in release it What's wants versus

  1093. needs be honest. And there's some stuff that I

  1094. want, I'll get myself worked up and I'm like, man, it is ain't

  1095. time. It's not time to have that or by

  1096. that it don't mean. You got to take it off your wish

  1097. list, it just means you got a wave put it on your waitlist.

  1098. Right. You'll get on the waiting list

  1099. for your favorite restaurant. Thank you, Jesus.

  1100. What you gonna do is you're gonna trade your Sorrows, you're

  1101. going to trade your stress. You gonna trade that negativity

  1102. today for joy? Going to trade that morning for

  1103. dancing. Those data part of Love quest.

  1104. You've been here. These next three months is theme

  1105. more than enough. We are going to trust God.

  1106. We're going to purge. We're going to make quick

  1107. decisive decisions and not allow ourselves to just go days.

  1108. Just being indecisive. We're going to put

  1109. indecisiveness down. We're going to put

  1110. indecisiveness down for the next 3 months.

  1111. We're going to allow God to bring in supernaturally.

  1112. Our once, I'm going to focus on our knees.

  1113. Going to focus on love. You need your soul.

  1114. Needs Agape, your soul needs peace, your soul.

  1115. Needs healthy relationships, go to work.

  1116. Do what you do, but this next three months is not the three

  1117. months of extra. Rest from overdoing it, rest

  1118. from overthinking some stuff you're thinking about.

  1119. Do you need to, is it adding value to your life?

  1120. As our team is walking around handing out communion today, as

  1121. we come to a close. We're going to take communion

  1122. and remember our Lord and savior.

  1123. We going to get out of here. Hey, some of you are in

  1124. relationships. That you cannot get out of.

  1125. Can I help you? Have a conversation with your

  1126. spouse. Have a conversation with your

  1127. family members and just say hey Kim.

  1128. And if everyone can listen as they're getting their communion,

  1129. this is very important. Maybe you have a conversation

  1130. this week with someone Because there's some things you're not

  1131. stressing over. But by way of relationship,

  1132. they're bringing stress in it. So maybe this week, you going to

  1133. have a conversation and say babe mom dad sister brother look.

  1134. And they may not be able to see the long-term picture, just say,

  1135. man for the next few couple months.

  1136. We not going to stress over that.

  1137. For the next few months, we not going to make those decisions.

  1138. You have a right? You have a right to stand for

  1139. your peace. Amen.

  1140. Can I free you horse second. You have a right to not

  1141. tolerate, folks bringing stress in your life.

  1142. That's specially unnecessary. You have a right to shut down

  1143. the conversation. If it's turning you away from

  1144. the goodness of God, if it's turning you away from the word

  1145. of God, you have a right to say, you know what, I don't want to

  1146. talk about that. I'll talk about it.

  1147. If we could kind of switch the narrative, I did say switch the

  1148. facts. Just switch the narrative.

  1149. Learn how to take your facts and put them in a different

  1150. narrative. If it's not The Narrative of the

  1151. word of God. We don't ignore facts.

  1152. We just exalt the truth. All right, where you are, just

  1153. Worship the Lord for being your Redeemer.

  1154. Lord, we remember, you come on, right?

  1155. Where you are? We remember you.

  1156. Lord. You are the Redeemer of our

  1157. soul. You are the Redeemer of our

  1158. soul. You are the Redeemer of our

  1159. soul. Thank you, Jesus.

  1160. Has anybody even missed? Is everybody, if you've been

  1161. missed? Can you just lift your hands?

  1162. Want to make? Sure everyone has what they need

  1163. for those that are new. Maybe you don't know you like,

  1164. man, why y'all got goldfish? First of all, you, you know, you

  1165. grateful for goldfish and not having to eat one of those

  1166. wafers. Amen.

  1167. But if we also want to remind people that we are called to be

  1168. Fishers of Men. I remember the day, I told my

  1169. wife that she thought it was corny and if you watch him babe,

  1170. I know you love me. You just looking out for me but

  1171. it's all good but and then it just kind of dawned.

  1172. I was just like yeah, we want to be intentional and then that's a

  1173. God thing that there's multicolored fish.

  1174. Because we are reminding ourselves that we are called to

  1175. All Nations, All Nations. And so today we're remembering

  1176. the work of Jesus Christ. If there was no shed blood,

  1177. there would be no remission of sin.

  1178. But one drops, a one drop one, drop saved all of man.

  1179. Right? It's so today.

  1180. What we're doing is we're not coming to God's like, oh, please

  1181. forgive me know, we're acknowledging that.

  1182. He's our savior, he's Our Redeemer and we need a redeemer.

  1183. We're confessing that we have sinned and we have fallen short,

  1184. but in him, we have risen, we are in him.

  1185. We have Victory. It's nothing poor poverty.

  1186. False, humility about this. He did not stop at the cross.

  1187. He got up and praise God. We do not have Have some somber

  1188. dark Christianity or relationship with Jesus, but the

  1189. good news is not that he just went to the Cross, but the real

  1190. good news is what he got up. So I don't have to it says it

  1191. have to be a down moment. We don't have to sing a song At

  1192. The Cross at the cross where I first found a lot of course and

  1193. the burden of my heart rolled away.

  1194. That's a great him. But there's also we got up And

  1195. you need to know whatever you're going through.

  1196. He got up and the blood gave you access.

  1197. He said, I am the door. What is he a door to the

  1198. kingdom? So, I am victorious.

  1199. You are victorious because of the blood of Jesus.

  1200. And when his body was broken, the cat of nine tails leather

  1201. straps with glass, on the ends, it in just whip him.

  1202. But those cats to nine tails dug into his skin and they have to

  1203. pull it off chunks of skin, chunks of Flesh coming.

  1204. For your savior real thorns in his head.

  1205. And then what happens, he still has to go to the cross.

  1206. It wasn't just physical humiliation, but it was

  1207. emotional abuse. They teased them, they spit on

  1208. him. That's that's what we believe

  1209. and that's what we know. And so when we're remembering

  1210. him today, we remember a man. He took a beating, he took a

  1211. sacrifice to not even animals. For you.

  1212. So we're free from condemnation and when you fall in love with

  1213. him and you understand what he's done for you, then you don't

  1214. want to send, you don't wake up every day.
