By Faith: The Faith to Change A Nation Part 13

What's going on? Love quest Nation.

Thank you so much for tuning in to the Love quest.

Podcast. Where Pastor chance Richmond is

taking us through our series by faith?

The faith to change a nation, you know what it is tune in

enjoy. Thank you for listening.

I want you to look at the person on the right side of you. and I

want you to say, The only reason God allowed you to sit next to

me. It's because you and I are

causing each other. To give birth.

To a great blessing. That's due this month.

In Jesus name. I received that I received at,

amen, Let's Just Jump, Right In. We've been on a series.

Anybody remember what the series been called by Faith by faith

Saved By Faith? We've been on a series called by

faith and Faith to change a nation.

I don't know about you, but God did not bring me to Canada.

Just a to work. He brought me to Canada to win.

And if you're working for money, you're missing it.

You should be working to win. You should be working to win the

loss. You should be working to advance

the kingdom. Your paycheck is seed.

It's not for just a lifestyle, but it is for sewing, Not only

into the church, but in every good work that God places you in

front of that, he's calling you to sow into.

And I just, I just pray that the fire and the grace, that's on my

life. Calls anyone that comes around

me. To start competing for the

kingdom. Not just happy you on the team,

but you actually trying to take your team.

To the ship. The championship for those that

don't know sports championship. Right?

I don't know if you wanted him players, that just you excited

to be on the team? You don't care if y'all win or

lose. You just want a uniform.

Look at your neighbor, don't say nothing, but look at them,

right? Is that you possibly is that

that might be I might be sitting next to a loser.

Right, here we go. Here we go.

You know, I'm just happy. I'm saved.

I'm not trying to walk in the victory.

I'm just trying to get to Jesus when I die.

Right. Religion has an Escape Plan.

And the kingdom has an invasion plan.

I don't know about you, maybe you're Christian.

I'm not, I am a kingdom citizen. Christianity is a religion.

Sonship citizenship is of the kingdom and Jesus never called

me a Christian. You just chose which religion

you thought was best for you and you call yourself a Christian

great. That's cool.

That's cool to be politically. Correct were Christians, but

what is that mean? If you don't follow Jesus,

there's a lot of Christians that don't follow Jesus and just

because you go to church, don't mean you, what follow Jesus?

You just follow somebody to church. and I just pray that

when it's all said and done for me, And when I get to heaven, I

pray, I don't just show up and be like, whoa, I'm here.

I pray that every life that I have impacted, we celebrate

Every Soul that I've witnessed two.

They say, remember me. You didn't know how that was to

encourage me, but I Found Jesus, I made it right.

I hope that when I get to heaven that there is stars in my crown

read about it. There's there's crowns for soul

winners, it's in the Bible, right?

So I hope that when I get there I hope.

Legacy that I leave behind is one of faith that I didn't spend

life consumed with my issues. I don't, I want to I want I

don't want one day on my calendar to go by that.

I can't look back and say I didn't impact somebody's life

for God. Right.

One day. That's how you got to be

competitive tonight. I want to talk about it.

I don't know if we did, we had, we dealt with it a little bit,

but I want to talk about faith, but I want to talk about waiting

because you can't wait well, without faith.

And I think in the days and times that were in, people got

to know how to wait, according to the word of God.

And so, I said wait up, not like, wait up, like, hold up or

like, wait up waiting for somebody to call you.

Not like that. I'm Tom.

I like upgrade. Wait up.

Waitwait in faith. Wait, enjoy wait in, peace.

Wait, you know, you know, they got some drugs, their uppers.

Right? Right.

I'm talking about wait up expecting, right?

Not looking Looking and expecting is different.

Some of you have been discouraged because you just

been looking instead of expecting.

When you expect you can rest because God type of expectation

is already got it. What you're talking about?

He ain't coming. I know it's coming.

It's on the way. You can't tell me they late.

I'd maybe it's late, but it's going to come.

Right? I don't.

I'm expecting the sun to shine one day here in Vancouver.

Amen. I'm not gonna not go to church

or not, go do stuff or not, be happy.

Because the sun ain't here, I just know it's coming one day.

Say wait up. Let Faith arise in you, I think

sometime our lifestyles, our actions are complaining our

natural effect or our natural that some of us carry weight.

And it works against faith. Even the Little Bit of Faith you

have, depending on your your your mindset, it could work

against the faith, right? There's faith in this room.

You going to leave here buzzing charged up, that's called Faith

because you heard a word you was around Faith but then I want you

to pay attention over the next several hours how Gloom begins

to creep back in like an overcast day.

You know, when it's sunny and you can see the clouds and you

like no go back. Back.

No and you got to understand like right now, the sun is

shining. We have hope but key is a z is a

z z. there's some people who know there's not a z, but

there's some people who like, okay, man, Pastor Isaiah, they

men so, What what what is it, well, how can I ask this?

What are you going to make up your mind tonight to do

differently? So that what the atmosphere has

done for you tonight, within 24 hours, we can't see a cloud over

your head. What are you going to do to push

back the cloud because you have to be tired of having overcast

days in your soul? Gloomy days.

You ready? You allow it.

I allow it. I'm telling you.

It ain't the devil. I'm telling you stop giving the

devil so much credit. It ain't the devil.

It's your choice. Say wait up let Faith arise God

that no devil in hell. Can stop what God has for me.

Shout about it. God is good.

God is good all the time. Should I expect man?

I expect that your faith should make people jealous.

Your faith should get on peoples, nerves.

Your face should make people say calm down.

Well alright enough. Alright enough know it ain't all

right enough I'm doing what I was created to do.

I'm not boasting in my ability, I'm boasting in his I have the

mantle of joyous Praise on my life.

It's a mantle. It's not a feeling.

There's a mantle of Praise on my life which means if you have a

mantle of Praise on your life, then you have the ability to

pull, praise out of nowhere. I'm talking about out of

nowhere. Somebody break up with you.

Somebody gave you some bad news. You don't mean you're not

hurting but the mantle of joyous praise.

Put some Praise on bad news. It puts a preys on Rejection.

It puts a preys on denial, you don't get the job.

Put a praise on it. Stop taking it personal because

he or she don't want to be with you.

Put a praise on it. We will always be waiting on

something. So why wait?

Crazy question, crazy. If you're always waiting, On

something. So, you know you looking for a

breakthrough to break the gun, come guess what?

You waiting on something else? You got news.

You got the house. Now, you waiting on the keys.

You got the keys, you waiting on the expected, the inspection,

you, you got the house. Now you waiting on the new

furniture, you got the new furniture.

Now you waiting on people to come over and party and sit on

the new furniture. And you're going waiting

waiting, waiting waiting, for some you wait for your spouse to

your friends. You waiting to get up tomorrow.

So you go make some more money, you wait until Friday so you

could party you wait until your vacation time so you can A

break. You always waiting?

So why wait in other words, why wait to experience Joy?

Now, why are you waiting for something to happen to shout

about his goodness? I'ma praise him because he got

our forefathers, across the Red Sea.

I'm a praising because somebody else having a baby.

I'm a praising. See this video?

Your marriage may not be great. But I'ma praise him because I

know somebody who marriage work. So if he allowed me to see a

work in marriage, he must know that my can't work. right on

time, I may be sick but I'ma praise him because you will If

you understood, what praise is praise is like the money you put

into a slot machine. Praises a see Praises a deposit

into what you believe in for. If you really believe in for it.

You put a praise on it. Oh man.

Therefore humble yourself demote lower yourselves in your own

estimation under the mighty hand of God that in due time.

He may exalt you the way I wreath is, is stop being

entitled when it comes to God. Let me help you God, don't owe

you. Nothing.

He gave his life. He gave his only begotten son.

What he? Oh, he don't owe you a

promotion. Go get the extra training.

He don't owe you your dream home go work.

He don't owe you nothing, he gave you everything.

But we are entitled with God. We got the nurse to get mad at

God about stuff that we got into.

We get mad at God about natural stuff happening.

Right? Like just stuff that's supposed

to happen. She 99.

She 99. You mad at God, like it.

If anybody was folded dying, today was 99.

He had 99 Problems. But living wasn't one today.

Hey, there? Amen.

You stink think of the stuff? Think of the stuff.

Think it is stuff. You allow your feelings to get

caught on. Right.

But then here it is. Don't just sometime.

Why? Why God sometimes things get

caught because it was divine. and instead of trying to keep it

on your head, you should have just let it fall off.

I don't know why that I don't know why that picture just came

up in my head. Amen.

Amen. Did you do?

I'm not going to go further and there's some of y'all like what

they laugh now, but I can't tell you.

Amen. I can't tell you.

But you just got to keep it moving.

That piece was supposed to come off.

I'm glad we're on wire. That's y'all, don't even know.

I'm going to stop looking over there.

Uncle over here. I'm over here.

Hey, she handled that like a champ do.

That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.

Jingle get caught Slippin. No more do she like, Anyways.

Yeah. Some stuff God is snagging off

of your life. Because it's over.

It doesn't need to be there but we emotionally get attached to

things. We even get emotionally attached

to memories and don't want to let those go in the Lord is even

trying to get rid of memories. That's killing you and stifling

your progress. He says he says, humble

yourself. That in due time he made this is

the good news. This is what my piece is in.

Is that it's on him. My job is to, to humble myself,

under his work. His doing what he's promised and

surrender to the work that he wants to do within me.

My, my job really is, not everyday, waking up, trying to,

trying to survive and work, and pay the bills.

That's what worldly people do. But what Sons do is wake up

every day trying to be renewed or by trying to be transformed

by the renewing of their mind. I'm trying to get back to

sonship. I'm trying to Bear the image and

likeness of my father not of culture.

And I promise you when you seek and pursue him, first, he

promised to add these things to your life.

He's committed and he says, cast in the whole of your care, all

your anxieties, what else all your worries?

What else all your concerns once and for all?

Now, this would not be fair from God to ask us to cast all on him

if it wasn't possible. So don't just Breeze over all

your anxieties, all your cares, all your worries, all your

concerns, he says, once, and what for all now, you ready?

I told this to this morning, you might be wondering how do you

cast cares on the Lord? The same way you cast

responsibility on other people, you ever blame somebody for

something, for why you are where you are, you shifted

responsibility. What he's saying is, put the

responsibility for carrying your cares.

Put them on me, Adam cast it. His responsibility onto Eve, Eve

cast it. Our responsibility onto the

serpent serpent. So how are you able to Shift

blame, but you can't shift cares.

Because when you tell, when you deny responsibility for an

action, you took what you're saying?

As I want them to carry the burden.

I don't want to feel bad, they should feel bad.

Hey, same way. The same energy you put into

believing they should be responsible for how you feel.

Is the same thing that you do is say Lord you died for me to be

well you see how shift responsibility you you took on

poverty so I can be rich. You shed blood so I can live.

You see? I'm shifting that

responsibility. He's asking to catch the for

you. That wasn't made to carry for

you, but Jesus could carry it for you and he don't want to

carry a little bit. He said, give it to me all Give

it to me all for he. What cares for you

affectionately and cares about you?

What does this have to do with waiting?

If you don't know how to cast carries, you won't wait.

Well, you can't wait. Well and worry, well, because

some of y'all worry, well, You met you major in worry?

You can't care, you can't, you can't his sons, I got a little

joke. Sometime, people be like take

care of Pastor tea and I'll be like, nope.

I don't receive that. But you can't be people around

people like that. Need to be like, no, I see you

later. No, I don't want to take care.

I don't want to care. Can you tell me to care about?

You told me to love you. He didn't tell me to worry about

you and what he's telling you for, he cares for you cast all

your worries. Some of y'all worried about

people, that ain't worried about you.

Hey. Some of y'all worried about

people changing that don't want to change.

I do believe it's okay for you, not to care about them changing.

If they've shown you, they don't want to, there's people you keep

on trying to invest time in that ain't taking your time serious.

That's your fault. They wasting your time.

You gave it to him. I'm trying to tell you.

Here's one of the strategies of the enemy.

Is for you. Codependent people.

You spend a lot of time doing good, deeds. that's killing

your, your energy and your time because you're caring about

people that don't really value what you're offering, Your

wisdom, your time. Your Love.

It comes a point where you have to draw the line and Jesus did

it. So don't trip with me.

Jesus said, let the dead bury the dead.

Jesus was serious with people. We make Jesus be this soft

little Valentines. No, he was a soldier.

He was on the cross, like on. He went from Courthouse to

courthouse. Thorns would tell me.

Who would it be? Somebody pull out of me.

Anybody ever got with a belt? How was you running?

What no cat of nine tails. When no wood, no whip, you

untied to know and your mom just pulled out the belt you Jesus.

Jesus has thorns put on his head, not for him for you and

you can't carry. Lockdown.

You can't carry working on your marriage.

You can't carry working on your family relationships.

You can't carry Whatever you being called to carry, somebody

carried something that they should have never carried, not

for them for you. So you pick it up and you take

it carry your cross. And your cross, maybe working on

your relationship. You'll cross may be.

Renewing, your mind, your cross may be repenting.

For allowing distance for too long.

Take some responsibility for your part, right?

Because I went so long even with like eating I was raised like

this. I'm just going to keep meeting

like this. I grew up on snacks.

Slurpees and Lay's potato chips and Snickers.

At what point do I take responsibility for my diet?

At what point do you stop blaming people that you probably

not even in relationship with no more?

Or, you know I'm saying like at some point.

You are where you are because you keep choosing to be where

you are. You can't wait on what's to

come. If you haven't broken free, what

has passed? Man, waiting is excruciating.

If you stuck in the past. For, he cares for you.

Be well, balanced temperate sober of mine.

And as I said this morning, you ain't got to be drinking to be

drunk. You could be drunk off

messiness, he me. Drunk off Netflix, you can be

drunk off of stress. Something, gets you high all the

time, you know the people that that love mess.

You can be high off your body. I dealt with the fitness people

this morning. You could be at the gym.

It is what it is. Andrew your trainer.

Amen. But they just be in the mirror

at all just like And I guess we looking gross.

Do you not get you not bad like you, you nice.

You know I'm saying? I trust you but some folks look

like um, like you are too bloated, like YouTube veins.

That's not sexy. I'm so glad you free from from

all that all of that. Just try and squeeze your cheeks

as hard as possible. Just laying Oh my God.

Trying to get a ribbon, amen. He cares for you.

Be vigilant and cautious at all. Times vigil, it is a militant

word. Or are you just kind of just

skipping through life? Just whatever happens.

You just like la la da da dada and you're waiting for an

announcement. To govern your life.

I said this this morning, here's how crazy is this for all

Kingdom Minded people. Do you realize how silly it is?

Praying for a government to change.

That was meant to be proven. Not enough.

That is it? That is supposed the Bible tells

you it's supposed to fail. And we're putting more energy

into trying to turn the world's system around that we're not

putting that energy into building the kingdom government.

So the world can look at a government that is stable in

truly, just there is no government that can provide

Justice at the level Jesus can the world system, the God of

this world. Not the god of the Earth.

The God of this world is Satan world is system.

You as a Believer when you were here, it is saved.

The Bible says, you were translated out of the kingdom of

darkness, the world into the Kingdom of Light, but now you

saved you trying to save the world.

You were snatched out of no you say Souls not systems.

And we need to put that energy into looking at Apostolic

strategy and models and the kingdom of God on Earth.

Did he tell you to pray like that?

The prayer and the desire is that heaven be on earth.

So why aren't we facilitating that?

so that having can invade the earth and the world looks and

says, oh oh, I'm gonna go get my Justice from over here.

I'm gonna go get my piece from over here.

Here's the Bible, I overcame the world.

So how are we trying to change something?

He's overcome, he promised me that the system has no power to

kill me or hurt me. Because Psalm 91, I'm found in

him under his wing. His system, his government, his

authority, So shame on us. Depending on a world that was

never created for his children. Can we put some of that energy?

Into saving Souls now. I'm trying to help you because

the Lord called his church to make disciples the Lord called

his church to win. Souls.

When's the last time you knocked on doors?

When's the last time you went to the mall with that same energy

you marched with? He's called us to snatch people

out of the system. and that's when we do strategic, when we do

our music and when we do what we do, we do it to create an

alternative for those that are seeking a better way.

So he says be vigilant because Jesus for that enemy of yours,

whatever your enemy is. What has you distracted?

The Devil roams around. As I told you this morning he

roams looking for a signal. Where's he get a signal from

your doubt and unbelief? when you start complaining up

single signal, you flash on somebody.

Oh, they haven't changed with the church.

Haven't changed. Do they still got buttons at

least change it buttons? How do you help people?

Keep pushing the same buttons. You got to stop picking friends.

That won't push your buttons. Be like, who won't push my

buttons? You don't jump from relation to

relationship because you challenged anyway.

Seeking someone to seize your born and devour, he Roars Roars,

and I said this morning, how many of you are changing plans

and running because of a roar Is really not what you think it is.

He's just roaring. He's not biting you, he's

roaring her. Right, same way.

You would go through a zoo. Here's Psalm 91 is like walking

through a zoo. Wow. when last time you ran in

the zoo, quite frankly, you stop.

And enjoyed the wild. He's like he can roar all he

want to I'm up over here soon as he come by that fence, you start

bagging up, huh? What's the San Francisco?

The lion, whatever hopped over the he's roaring.

So what are you going through? And it's a roar Depend emic was

just a big long Roar. And he says, withstand him be

firm in faith against the onset, rooted established, strong

immovable, and determine say, stand, you got to be able to

stand. You got to be able to have the

capacity to go to distance, to go all 12 rounds with the Enemy.

You can't be fainting over little stuff.

So what they parked in your parking spot.

So what you got to park around the corner get here on time?

So what they made you a latte wrong.

It's going to be okay, you're going to let a lot, a mess up

your day. I feel, you know.

You did that? But here's the Comfort, the same

identical sufferings are appointed to all of us.

Everybody going to go through something.

You know, I hate it when people act.

Like they don't only one going through something.

And I did that as it tears. You was talking to me tonight.

Amen. But you were the only one All

right, when you say some over the pulpit, you ain't the only

one going through stuff. You're not by yourself.

That's why I wear a body. We come to be encouraged.

We come together, put our faith together.

And though, we, we part ways on Sunday night, I'm confident that

we're all making it together, not only suffering together, we

all went in together. We all thrive in together.

If he's a 6 has put on God's whole armor, say the whole

thing. Come on the whole thing.

All right? If somebody say thing next to

you move move, you'll see they the whole thing.

Put on the whole armor, the armor of a heavy armed Soldier

which God supplies that you may be able successor successfully

to stand up against all the strategies and the deceits of

the devil strategies. Do you know strategies ya'll

watching the law for you? It will show that was and even

in its kind of stage but it is trying to catch this little

monkey for for Low Low Project or whatever.

So they put, you know, these kind of monkeys like figs.

So we got some figs put on the ground how the monkeys gonna

come right here with my singing as he put the figs right here,

then he put a noose right there then he hid behind.

See that, you see that, you see the figs of the Noose over

there. And that's hot.

Some of the nooses them figs been in your bloodline.

All your aunties fell for the same trap.

And then the Fig Tree, the monkey just sold focused on the,

on the, on the fix. And he just, I'm not.

And then he put his hand and then before, you know it.

But here's the thing, this is the crazy part.

While he called him in the news, he calmed them down by Feed me

more fix. I'm preaching right now.

Some of y'all don't mind being called that nuisance, long as

you get in your treats. You go to work every day with

that news because you getting that paycheck, huh?

Right. You stay in that relationship

because you getting some. Yeah, you fell for the cheek

trap, the cheek trap. Amen.

Yeah. You don't mind I'm in the enemy

had me for a long time. Up in the club with a noose on

me. Right, if you can see yourself

in the spirit realm, hey up in the club, right?

You know, me out in Yaletown thinking, you cute eating that

taste in the end Beach trout. With a noose on you.

Got that plastic surgery but you got a new song.

You where's where's the awareness?

And when you going to take it, take the responsibility to untie

yourself from the strategies of the enemy.

You got to be bigger than figs. When I'm saying this upgrade

your traps. If you're going to get caught

up, make the enemy work. Like making work, right?

Make make me and here we go. Some people fight.

Why is so you got so much order and why you do it this way and

why you do it that way? How is how, how is the kingdom

of darkness going to have structure strategy and order?

And we just got the spirit and we just going to be loose.

We got people praying here that you don't see praying.

We got intercessors across the globe, praying for the

intercessors here. There's there's there's

invisible system setup. There's so many strategies their

strategy, you have to be strategic if you going to make

it all the way to the Finish Line.

Well, And we can't just be all we fighting demons.

No, no, no. Do you understand?

There's levels to this thing. Some of the stuff you call in

demons ain't nothing but a strategy.

That's working against your flesh.

I'm here to tell you that is not a demon.

It's a strategy and it's your flesh that has failed for it.

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood.

But we are contending only with physical opponents, not kidding.

Not only what? Physical opponents, but against

the despotism, 's against the powers, Against the master

spirits who are there that were go, the world rulers.

DET. We do.

You see how crazy this is? Where we actually protest.

A lot of times without strategy, when we're talking government,

true, do we talking? Their disciples.

For a spiritual dimension. Their ponds.

That's why you can take a really good person and make him a cop.

Put them in a corrupt system. And they find themselves doing

something, they never dreamed. They would do because they had

to And then, they were trained to.

So, even people, what we need to learn how to do is pray for our

government officials because I don't want them to change the

system as much as I want them to change their life and become a

part of God's life, and become a become a Believer, and know

Jesus. See, we want them to change

things that benefit us and we're putting a system over a soul.

And that's what we have to be strategic and that's why we have

to do things in excellence. And that's why we have to raise

up as an army and put our finances together, and do our

music, and do our arts, and our dramas in our theaters, and all

of these things. So we can be an asset to

community and get in conversation with people.

Not so they can, so we can use them, but they can need us.

We do things so, well, they need us.

So then they funnel resources to us and we have more impact.

That's how you take things back. That's how you change systems.

against the spirit forces of wickedness in the Heavenly

Supernatural sphere therefore put on God's complete armor, The

whole thing. That you may be able to resist

and stand your ground on the evil day and having done all the

crisis demands to stand firmly, into place stand.

Say, stand there for, hold your ground.

Hey you got to be able to fight back.

You gotta be able to hold your ground, even if you flinch.

But you're still here. Stop running.

Stop running from your stronghold.

Stop running from your fear. Stop running from your

insecurities face. It it meant it.

You'll jacked up. You got some issues.

Stop hiding them. Stop trying to put makeup on

your stuff. Stop calling it something else.

You even call it red flag, yellow flag.

Now got a told me to stop. He did tell me to slow down.

No red flag, call it? What it is.

Don't change the color of it. Stop making excuses for the

people who are harming your call.

Stop putting potential before purpose.

Trying to help somebody tonight. Think it's too warm in here

right now. Folks is fading you with me

Having tighten the belt of Truth around your loins truth has to

be tight. You can't wait.

Well, when you reason well, you can't wait well, when you

debate, well, You can't wait. Well, unless you have resolved

about truth, I can count it all joy because I know Right.

I know he's working everything together for my good.

I know I'm convinced. He's working it out.

So I'm expecting victory. Hold your ground.

Titan truth around you Lawrence. Put on the breastplate of

integrity and moral rectitude, and right standing with God and

having shod your feet so you can stand in preparation.

He said, you gotta prepare for battle.

It's no way around it. The bad either in one or one is

coming. In preparation to face the enemy

with the firm footage stability. The promptness and the Readiness

produced by the good news of the gospel of peace, lift up over

all the covering Shield saving faith.

You can add a full armor on but you need to hold up saving

faith. Upon which you can quench all

that ever go again the Flaming missiles.

There is no battle, you were not created to win.

What you see this in Luke 22, Peter.

My dear friend. Love quest.

My dear friends. Listen to what I'm about to tell

you. Satan has obtained permission.

To come and see if you all like, wheat and test your, what?

Come on test your word faith, but I have prayed for you.

That's not what we want to hear. We want him to get us up out of

him. We want him to get us up out of

it got, don't you see, I've been in this thing.

Won't you change my circumstance here?

Entitled entitled, right? Satan is obtained permission.

How can somebody tell me how howdy?

It doesn't say that God is putting you through a storm

because he getting you ready for your ministry?

Look what they say. The enemy has obtained legal

permission. To come and sift you?

Not kill you. But sift you try, you prove you

how to get a pass. How did he get a work permit to

work on your life? How do you get a building

permit? Can somebody tell me?

He got permission. I need you to understand this

spiritual principle. God has already placed an order.

Everything he's going to place an order for your life, for this

world for this Earth. His plan is already in motion.

It's already in motion and he gives us principles.

That gets us tapped in to what he's already released and what

he's already doing. He has predestinated.

So there's no peace in trying to change God's mind or plan for

me. Say not obtain permission.

From you. Unfaithfulness.

Your insecurities, your unforgiveness, all these things

God tells us to stray away from. It's a reason.

He's not telling you to love so you can get the heaven.

But he's saying, if you walk in love, there's no law against

these fruit. Galatians 5, we learn in on

Wednesdays, right? What he's telling you, is the

enemy can't accuse you. Have access to you when you do

things, God's way. If you're walking and allowing

yourself to be angry and mean, or depressed or eight, these are

legal things that the kingdom of darkness can legally grasp on.

It's hard for God to protect you when you're Moody.

Anger attracts Darkness. Hopelessness attracts Darkness,

bitterness attracts Darkness unforgiveness Attract.

It gives the enemy permission, that's why he tells us, don't

give the devil a foothold. In other words, where is the

enemy getting access in your life?

And so, he said, all I can do is go through the storm with you.

But I can't get you out of it. Because the enemy has legal.

Right. And of course, there's things

that happen in life that I can count all joy.

When I fall into divers, Temptations.

There's natural things that happen in my life.

There's things that happen in my life.

That it wasn't a cause because of sin, Was it cuz I'm being

disobedient. It's not because it's, like I'm

doing great. And this thing happened, then I

can stand because I'm still walking in my father's will but

when your rebellious you open doors, When you're a runner.

When you run from responsibility, run from church,

you run from calling. He has permission, try tells us

to get rooted in love. so remember this, he says, but I

have prayed for you Peter that you would stay faithful even

while going through Remember this, after you have turned back

to me and I've been restored, make it your life mission to

strengthen the faith of your brothers.

So how dare me and my wife turned down the call to come and

strengthen your faith. Why?

Because he brought me through, so I'm trying to help you get

through, but I want you to see something here.

Let's not read it to fast. He said after you turn U-turn.

Then I'll restore you u-turn. God turn this around.

No u-turn. You return, you repent, you go

back. Amen.

Peter replied. I am ready to stand with you.

Lord and I said this morning, you know how when you you know

you know you know when you get real bad, you ready to do

everything for God. Sign me up.

I'm here. But that's not God's plan.

That you have to go to the pig pen, then come home.

See when you watch the people, who have I watched Carolyn, I

watched any, I've watched people, I watched in yellow, I

watch people, I watch CL. I watch people push through the

tough times, remain faithful. And then see the fruit.

And then you watch people who when they encounter adversity,

they stray a little bit and then you see when they return God

never changed his mind. And we're starting where we left

off and then the enemy is done a number, on your mind.

And so we got to get over that. But when you hold on and fight

through it, you start seeing family coming to Jesus.

You start seeing you start seeing things turned around.

You start seeing your mind ship. You start seeing what God

promised come to pass. There's no Promise Land without

Giants in it. Stop looking for the shortcut to

the promise. I did.

Peter said, even if it means prison and we know the story as

I believe Peter, mint, mint, Lord, I got your back but as

soon as the roosters do whatever they do, Guess what he did deny

Jesus, three times, but here's Jesus.

After he denies him. Jesus goes to the Cross.

Jesus is resurrected in Jesus, revisits him back on the shore,

and plessis. Mmm.

And then Jesus asked them three more times.

You see how Jesus gave him another shot at the same.

Do you love me? Yes, Jesus.

Do you love me? Yes, Jesus and then Peter got

offended. Why you keep asking me if I love

you, bro, you deny me three times.

Are you wondering why you got to go through the process pain?

We been here. And then Jesus blessed him in

and then we see Peter filled with the Holy Ghost whole

different person. In the waiting, there's pruning

and in the pruning, there's Glory.

See if you could just go through the pruning.

The purging there's glory on the other side of prune, you don't

get them, nice Vineyards. And Orchards that you'd without

pruning, you don't get a beautiful garden without

pruning. You don't get them roses and and

tulips on Valentine's without somebody Headland business in

the garden. Don't resist the crushing.

Don't resist the crushing. The only way you can wait, well,

is if you can withstand the crushing.

The crushing is not bad. Glory comes out the crushing.

They did it. I see what he D Jake's, while

ago was like, man folks come up to you when you've achieved all

of this and they like, oh my God, I want that anointing.

And you think you can get the anointing oil and anointing

service? You know what he's done.

You know what, it takes, see some of you don't know the

leadership that takes place on a Monday Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday, Saturday. You don't know the text

messages. You don't know the encouragement

on the phone. You don't know the zoom calls.

All you see is Sunday. You think it just stops there?

You don't know, the late-night phone calls.

You don't know the meetings and garages.

You don't know, the emergency calls to families and Marriages

you don't see all of that stuff but you see anointing, you see

blessing, you see favor. And then you like why they ain't

working for me like that but you're not surrendering the same

way. You're not sacrificing the same

way. You got to be willing to be

purged and be pruned. Don't resist the crushing The

question is not God. Get me out.

The question is Father, what are you needing to crush?

This is what the waiting is for. The waiting is not for the

stuff. The waiting is for the crushing.

It's for the purging, it's for development.

It is for sonship, it's the vehicle back to the garden.

Folks don't want to wait. We want it now.

On demand. Blessing now.

Bitch Arch. Now Ministry now calling now.

She kabbah men. So, I'll take it this way when

he come or three times, I pleaded with the Lord, you see

this? Take it Lord, take it from me,

man. Praying would be a lot easier if

you took Thanksgiving to your prayer closet.

You know why you be so tired, praying and can't pray for an

hour because you begging the whole hour.

Begging for hours, that's tiring.

Saying, please for an hour. Give me, give me, give me for an

hour, there's no anointing in that.

So of course, you can't break with the Lord, be with the Lord,

for an hour, because it's all about you.

But when you take Thanksgiving, that's why he tells you, here's

how to pray. Our Father, which art in heaven?

Hallowed be thy name. Bam.

He gave you a secret right there.

You don't have to ask him for anything because everything you

want is in every name. You think?

So, you don't ask for healing. You just think Jehovah Rapha for

healing. You Amen.

Three times. I pleaded with the Lord.

To relieve me of this. Had a thorn in his side.

Anybody, if you are miss you got some thorns in your side

tonight. Amy at some of y'all lying are

they might even be honest a man, anybody got thorns in your side,

amen. Amen.

You got thorns in your side. And he said three times I

pleaded with the get it out. But here's what the Lord said,

my grace is always more than enough for you.

Anybody deal with Peter. He said I'm praying for you,

buddy. You gonna go through this, but

I'm praying for you. What he's trying to do is he's

trying to get you to Rejoice on who which you in the storm.

You know, the little brother that get caught up in, in, in,

in the, in the hood around a bunch of people and he like, oh

my God, but then he come around with his big brother and he

like, what? What?

He got confidence. Based on who he with and the

Lord says you focused on what you're up against instead of

focusing on, who's going against it with you, David said oh he

the Goliath a mess with me. Goliath mess with a whole host.

My grace is always more. That enough for you give me

something deep. He started playing our Kelly and

stuff. Amen.

My grace is always more than enough for you.

And my power Finds Its full expression through your

weakness. You guys have to get this.

This is an important mindset to understand when waiting, he

says, when you are weak, that's when it's my perfect

opportunity. When you don't know what to do,

you got to depend on me. The one thing that you hate

about parenting is when your kids get to the age where they

act like they don't need you. Yeah, you not there yet buddy

but sometime I can show. I'm sure I could tell they Be

Actin. Like they don't need you

sometime that, right? Until they need you.

And the Lord says, Stop trying to be your own God.

And let me carry you and walk with you through this.

When you are weak, then my power Finds Its full expression.

So Paul says, so I will celebrate my weakness.

For when I'm weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of

Christ Living in me. when we take on crazy projects like

this, and when it's way bigger than us, I feel God's power

moving on my behalf because I'm putting my trust fully in him.

That's why I'm not afraid to go into situations on paper.

I don't qualify for because if he's called me to it, then he

will be in it with me. So I'm not defeated by my

weakness. You got to have this mentality

to wait. Well, So I'm not defeated by my

weakness, but I'm delighted. I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna get you out of here. You got to get this this mindset

for this week. I'm delighted.

I'm delighted in faith projects. It is weird, but it excites me.

Excuse me. Mmm, excuse me.

Didn't tell you better stop feature.

Uh amen. TJ ain't up here.

Working it. Amen.

Amen. Anybody else called in here?

Okay. Goodbye.

How many people? Not coal.

Raise your hand. Amen.

Amen, amen. Hey man, we almost out of here.

We almost out of here. Trying to hear from the Lord.

Not the heater. Come on.

Sorry to our streaming audience. We just keep it real here.

Amen. Amen.

Camerawork am aware. Come on out there.

See you on So I'm not defeated by my

weakness. But delighted.

For when I feel my weakness and indoor mistreatment when I'm

surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution

because of my love for Christ, this is what gives me

confidence. Choi is I'm immersed in God's

purpose for my life. So any persecution conflict that

arises. I'm very confident.

It's due to the path. I'm on.

See some stuff you bring on yourself because your attitude

or because your choices you can't have this kind of

confidence without living a life surrender to God.

It's very hard to have this mentality when you don't walk

with God and trust, God and believe God can and will and has

this is where peace is is when you totally lay your life down.

At the feet of Jesus. So he's like, you can do it on

your own or half me half you. But don't expect to go through

storms with Supernatural peace. For my weakness becomes a

portal. To God's power.

Oh my God. My Pete, my weakness becomes a

portal. It my weakness becomes a highway

for God's power. To transition through my

humility to say, God, I can't do this.

But I've been sewing, I love you.

I praise you. When I Surrender my marriage to

God my children to God the ministry, to God, the building

project to God. When it's not in my hands and I

fall into trouble times, I can have 100% confidence.

That he's coming through. But when I depend on myself and

when I depend on the world system, You notice they're never

there for you. People.

You have to learn how to master Waiting by celebrating the

master. McMaster Waiting by celebrating

the master while waiting focus on Jesus.

Not what Jesus can bring you. Focus on him.

Focus on his face, not his hands. the Keating to wake the

key to waiting well, is knowing well, Brethren.

I count it all joy when I fall into various trials knowing that

the testing of my faith. Produces patience, but let

patience have. It's perfect work that you may

be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

And can you count it all joy? Going through mess me.

I'm not talking about. Somebody broke up with you.

That ain't real mess heaven. Like car.

Get out of here. You knew he was bad in the first

place. Make make your prayers full of

what heaven is interested in. When you're going through

waiting, sonship is being verified.

Waiting. Well takes being led, well.

See, I can, I can wait now because I have leaders that can

help me through waiting. So, I cling to the bishop are

cling to my mentors are cling to our spiritual parents back home,

when we go through things and I trust in them, making it out.

I keep stories around me. Real-time not Abraham.

Not Moses stories. I'm accountable to people,

who've been in Ministry, for 40-something years, that have

went through it. Hey, hey, hey dr.

G man, I'm going through this situation at work.

What do you do with a family? Or what are you doing a couple,

or what do you do when, you know, when it came about the

building? Calling them who have been

through purchasing buildings and like, hey, this is how much it

cause I need some wisdom. This is what's in the contract,

this and this and they shoot back wisdom.

You can't wait well. Bye.

Self and you can't wait. Well if all you are surrounded

is around people that don't know how to wait and you can't wait.

Well if you don't have nobody around you that will tell you

the weight. All you got is anxious friends.

All y'all speed. Y'all just want to hurry up and

do something. Oh, your relationship and

working. Find another one job, and

working find another one school ain't working.

Find another one. Maybe your tutor is the answer.

Discipleship worship team, come up, discipleship, and sonship

must be rooted in love, not signs and wonders.

Come on, Focus. Y'all might crawl up here, like

an army because they just looking at you all.

Amen. Discipleship and sonship must be

rooted in love, not signs and wonders.

What I mean by this, You don't get routed.

Because you see a sign. You don't get routed because you

see demons cast it out. if your faith is built on signs and

wonders and not Covenant, Well, what happens when you don't see

stuff? Chasing signs thinking we are

chasing Jesus. No, because here's what the word

says. First he says you should love

one another. Just as I have loved you by,

this shall all, men know that you are.

My disciples people will know where the church because of our

love not because assigns the greatest sign.

In Wonder, we can have is that we walk in a gossip.

A, we walk in forgiveness Yeah, that's the gospel truth.

He said there's a day Jesus. We cast out demons in your name.

He did miracles in your name. He gonna be like, I never knew

you. I never knew you.

Who are you? Right.

Who are you? I never knew you because you

were so busy. Chasing.

And we ain't gonna get to it tonight with him at thing is

Matt, no Luke 17. He says they like looking for

size and he said, no, the kingdom of God is within you.

What you looking around for? What happened, Wednesday night,

those Miracles, those healings that took place that's icing on

the cake but you notice we were celebrating before the Miracles.

I'll do it this way. Removing the disease doesn't

guarantee removing disease. Removing the thorn doesn't

guarantee, you'll have peace. but if you find peace, in the

midst of the issue, No matter what, you go through, you will

lack nothing and the nothing is not talking about, you'll have

enough money. What he's saying is you will get

to a place where you are content in him.

Where you're not waking up everyday on the grind.

You're not carrying these bags. Prioritize him.

Not what he can do. Church.

So above all constantly seek God's Kingdom.

Above all constantly seek God's kingdom and his righteousness.

Then all these less important things.

Will be given to you abundantly. As I said last week, there's a

lot of stuff that I'm believing for.

There's a lot of stuff that I, my family is believing for.

There's a lot of stuff, my wife and I are believing for for our

children for, for our own Financial stuff, our church for

you men. There's so much we could be

bogged down with But man, we find so much joy.

And being a blessing to souls. We find so much joy and making

disciples. I challenge you to find joy in

winning Souls, find joy, and being a light in this world and

stop walking around. Just begging for more and more

more and more and more while you're waiting for healing.

Just thank God. You alive.

Thank God. That you have family.

Thank God. You have friends.

Thank God. Like be grateful, don't be all.

He's complaining so much and get the overcast out of your life.

You don't have to walk around gloomy.

Lift your hands Right Where You Are.

And just right where you are. You know, if you If you are

always carrying a weight around complain or are you a

complainer? Are you a worrier?

I believe that tonight. Choose to walk out of here and

care less. God's been good, man.

God has been so so good. Come on, guys, open your mouth

and just thank God right now. We got any Grateful people in

here. Any Grateful people in here?

Cast your cares. He said he give you the Garment

of Praise for the spirit of heaviness.

So if you have any heaviness, begin to praise Him, begin to

exalt. Him.

Begin to thank him. Open your mouth. the same way

you use your mouth to complain or to gossip or To express

anger. Open your mouth and thank him.

Come on, just a couple more moments.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Lay it down. Come on, lay it down.

Your grace is sufficient. Your grace is sufficient.

Come on Saints. Your grace is sufficient.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

I think I'll take a moment to do this.

I want you to exercise gratitude some people when you give them

the space to thank God, let me help you out.

There's a time to meditate and be deep in think.

Let me tell you something, you can't fight Thoughts with

thoughts. You got to open your mouth.

You got one? And it's almost like if we not

asking God for something we don't know how to talk to him.

What mean you can spend the next hour, 30 minutes, 15 minutes,

just thanking him and push him back.

Darkness and declare and decree in what he spoke over your life.

This is why we need the word of God.

So our mouth is not full of our emotions.

So I just want to take a couple minutes.

We're not going to wait for the worship team to lead us in a

song. I want you to thank God.

I want you to open your mouth and think God.

I want you to praise him. I want you to sing a new song

and you don't got to hide by putting your head down.

Like open your mouth like you boldly do open your mouth and

tell him. Thank you.

You've been so good. Lord.

You've been so good. Jesus, we praise you.

We thank you. We honor you.

We adore, you Lord kaan, You're The Lord Of My Life.

You're my strength. Your favor surrounds me like a

shield. I am the Hilton.

Not the sick. Thank you.

My steps are ordered. Thank you.

Thank you, Jesus. God is fighting for us, pushing

back, the darkness lighting up. The kingdom.

That cannot be shaken. In the name of Jesus, the

enemies defeated Yes, thank you Jesus.

Thank you. Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you. That on Monday.

I'm blessed on Tuesday. I'm blessed on Wednesday.

Who closed it in the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus. I want you to sing yourself.

Happy! But it's in the name of Jesus.

It all happens. Every knee shall bow.

Every tongue shall confess the name of Jesus.

The name of Jesus. It's so we don't go out

declaring the name of who Jesus, not our circumstance, not our

sickness, Not our problems, not our insecurities.

But the name of Jesus say, Jesus say Jesus, say, Jesus.

Now it's the last song I want you guys to lift your voice.

You don't have to be on notes in key.

Just lift your voice and let God do what he do.

Let's roll. Thank you so much for tuning in
