-
I'm gonna invite you to stand if you can if you can
-
And open your Bibles with me to the book of Hebrews chapter 10 and we're gonna read verse 35 to 39
Hebrews 10 chapter mention
-
You with me
-
Hebrews chapter 10 verse 35 to 39 if your neighbor doesn't have a Bible, please share it with him
-
Let them see it
-
If you got it on your iPad on your phone if you got anything like that
-
Go ahead and share it so they can go ahead and and read it now if you don't have a Bible if you don't have
-
A phone if your neighbor's being stingy. It's okay. Just go ahead and listen, you know, I
-
I think we could we can get through this. Are you ready? The Bible says
-
Cast not away there for your confidence
-
Which has great recompense of reward
-
For ye have need of patience
-
That after ye have done the will of God you might receive
-
the promise
-
for yet a little while everyone say a little while and
-
He that shall come will come and will not tarry
-
Now the just shall live by faith
-
But if any man draw back
-
My soul shall have no pleasure in him
-
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition
-
But of them that believe to the saving of the soul
-
Let us pray father
-
Once again, we come before you at this moment. We have praised you. We have sang we have danced
-
We have honored you Lord. Hallelujah. And right now we ask you Lord that as your mouthpiece you
-
Anoint my lips of clay and allow me to speak your word with power with liberty my God that this word can flow in
-
this house
-
every hearer and every heart Lord can be touched and
-
Transform the mindsets and that hell and the gates of hell can be terrified in Jesus mighty name
-
Amen, and amen you may be seated magnifying and glorifying the good name of Jesus
-
Hallelujah, I'd like to preach to you today for a quick moment on the subject a relentless
-
church a
-
relentless
-
Church, can you tell your neighbor a relentless church?
-
The readers were found here to be tempted to pull away from Christ as
-
Will some attribute this this letter be written by Paul others by Apollo's but anyway
-
Whoever the author was as he was writing this he found himself in this need
-
they also needed to
-
Consider how to stimulate one another to good works by even meeting together
-
It almost seems like the writer of Hebrews was looking at our church and writing to us today
-
Verse 35 and I'd like to just again break it down for a quick moment cast not away there for your confidence
-
which has great recompense of reward the church is
-
Under pressure to fold and fall in line with the agenda of the world
-
Everywhere you look the pressure is on
-
But we must be relentless and pursuing the will of God and not give in to this demonic pressure
-
This pressure will come through anyway, and it's always always always
-
Stronger every time you turn
-
Every time you look and you look back and you look again and it looks like it's getting worse and it looks like it's getting stronger
-
But you see in verse 35. He says cast not away thou
-
confidence
-
And how many times have we walked into the house of God without any confidence?
-
You see he was trying to encourage them to see that their confidence wasn't in what they were looking around them
-
But their eyes had to be set on the actual reward that was promised to them
-
Time and time again we come in and and and when we have an issue and when we don't praise and and when we struggle
-
To give God our everything it's because of something that you're going through right now
-
Not not it has nothing to do with the promise has nothing to do with rapture had none of no no no it's just well
-
It's because right now and that's the word
-
And that's the word
-
But you see verse 36. He tells him for ye have need of patience
-
my god
-
That after ye have done the will of God ye might receive
-
The promise the mistakes of the past that were holding us back from a constant pursuit is the enemy's victory
-
You see we think that just because we come to church and we jump a little that we are good and that we're saved
-
And that we're right and that we're okay
-
But the reality is that the enemy will still win even though you come to church and you jump and you shout
-
It don't matter if you give your tithe and your offering it
-
Don't matter if you come and you set up and tear down it don't matter if you sing in church
-
It don't matter what you do. The enemy can still win
-
Because we'll come and we'll get stuck here
-
And part of what god was showing me was the church you got the right place you got the right people you got the right thing
-
You got the wrong attitude and there is no substitute for the right attitude
-
Because you have it all praise god here. Yeah, you need that throughout the week
-
You shouldn't have to come to church to get hyped up and to get ready and to get motivated
-
You should come to celebrate the power that god has been doing in your life throughout the week
-
in your life throughout the week
-
But if you've been walking with the enemy if you've been walking too close to the world
-
If you've been doing your own thing and you forgot about god because you didn't have a prayer meeting because pastor didn't call you
-
Because somebody didn't do something because of whatever the case may have been then the enemy is winning. Let me clarify
-
Oh, but I come to church well, no, no that just means there's hope
-
Because while there's life, there's hope it doesn't mean we're in victory
-
You see god touching you
-
Doesn't mean you're right
-
That's just his grace and his love over your life. Don't mistake a miracle for salvation
-
I've prayed for many people instantly healed tumors gone cancer gone
-
All these crazy people have gotten up out of a wheelchair. They're handing me canes and they leave it. You never see them again
-
I prayed for a man. They told him you got three days to live. That's what they told his mama
-
And she called me and he said they told him that yesterday tomorrow. He's dead. Can you come to the hospital?
-
I said, sir, I show up. I had never seen a man that way never seen tubes in places like that
-
Never seen a man faced like that. I just said a simple prayer. I left about a week two weeks later
-
He called me, you know who this is. No, I don't know who this is. This is rayman. I said well rayman
-
What do you want? He said you prayed for me and i'm out of the house
-
Well, you better get to the house of god as soon as you can
-
Guess what?
-
The devil still won
-
Because three years later he died but he never stepped into church not even to thank god
-
Let's continue because you're getting me upset here
-
For yet a little while a little while a little while and and and he that shall come and will not tarry verse 37
-
And will not tarry verse 37 but today I declare that this relentless church rises up to take back its place in the race
-
Of eternal life my gosh. I'm a higher you see time and time again the church
-
Hallelujah forgets that we're in a race and we want to sit it out and we want to get we want to start straight
-
It's not your time to stretch. It's not your time to train. It's your time to run
-
It's your time to get into the race. The whole point is about not stopping
-
It's not about starting. It's about finishing
-
Oh, well, I want a soul, you know pastor like four years ago
-
Well, that's just one soul, you know that the rest of the world is going to hell in a basket
-
You need to get out there and get more souls fast quick and in a hurry
-
We're in a battle we're in a race and it is constant it's not every once in a while it's constant
-
We're in a race and it's constant
-
But where's our mind we're focused on on what we see only we're focused on this and we're focused on that
-
What about the stuff that you can't see? What about the promises that were made to you?
-
Did you know that that's what you need faith for?
-
Because he said i'll come back for you. Oh, okay. You just got to believe
-
I said you just got to believe
-
again
-
for yet a little while longer
-
No longer
-
When we we are we grow so impatient so quickly
-
You know
-
We we will start working on prayer and and all of a sudden two three minutes into it
-
We're like, well, i'm not feeling it. Who said prayer had anything to do with feeling?
-
Who said praising god had anything to do with feeling?
-
Who said tearing for revival had anything to do with feeling?
-
You see when you open your mouth and you pray which is the biggest
-
Battle the enemy will have against the church you can dance you can shout you can sing
-
You can give you can do and all that is good
-
But it is prayer that he will fight because when you open your mouth
-
The heavens open up and listen and when we begin to speak angels begin to get dispatched
-
Demons begin to flee and sick people begin to get healed the dead begin to rise because you have power
-
in your mouth
-
That's why that's why we like the the i'll have pastor pray for you. No you pray
-
We want pastor to do no pastor will pray and first lady will pray and how about you pray?
-
How about you give the bible study? How about you evangelize?
-
How how about you?
-
It's because you think you think prayer is about you prayer has nothing to do with you prayer has to do with who he is
-
For yet a little while and he that shall come will come we forgot about that
-
We hardly preach on rapture
-
We hardly preach on the coming of god and I believe that the reason why the church is the way it is today
-
Is because the preachers we no longer preach it. We hardly even believe it
-
I'm old school man. I still talk about the heaven splitter because that's still my desire
-
I'm still believing god at any moment
-
I know I can hear the last trumpet and that sky is gonna split and wait
-
In a blink of an eye, we're gonna be transformed to get in red christ shall rise first
-
And then you and I that are still here will be transformed and then we're going up baby
-
We're not staying here
-
I really am not of this world, but we get too comfortable here
-
We get too comfortable here when I was younger
-
Man, if my mom and then my dad would not at home when I'd show up. I started getting worried after about 10 minutes
-
I was like, um
-
Let me call let me call my sister. Hey, is mom dad there?
-
You know because my sister was yeah, I was like, she'd probably stay I call my brother. Hey, you know
-
Uh, I ended up calling the pastor. I was like, hey is my mom and I was even down in the past
-
Maybe the pastor might even stay but my mom and dad I know they're right. Where are they?
-
And nowadays
-
You come home nobody home you forget about it and then people don't come home for two three days
-
You're like, huh?
-
I didn't even notice you're too busy on your iphone on your android
-
You're too busy on skype and you're too busy on all these social media platforms. All that is virtual reality
-
And the enemy's picking up distractions here and there and that's why you don't pray and that's why you don't fast
-
That's why you don't read that's what
-
You didn't want me to preach to you today
-
You want him to give you a patty cake message and pray for the sick and say god is good
-
No, no, no god is always good, but he wants you to get into heaven
-
He wants you to get active. He wants you to get right
-
Right my god a rental a relentless church taking back their purpose
-
Is what we need to be a relentless church
-
Taking back their power their apostolic roots and their rightful place in the world as a holy nation a royal priest to the peculiar people
-
We have to fight till the end
-
Till the end
-
Not just not just till you feel good
-
Not just till they give you a title
-
Let me get out of there
-
Verse 38 and 39 listen listen another just shall live by faith
-
But if any man draw back
-
My soul shall have no pleasure in him, but we are not of them who draw back unto perdition
-
But unto them that believe into the saving of the soul
-
We shall live by faith
-
Not easing not slacking not maintaining speed. No, no, no. We're talking about full speed ahead
-
Full speed ahead
-
How can we do this?
-
What do you mean? How how is this possible? Look what he's saying?
-
How are we gonna live by faith if we don't see it? How are we gonna believe it?
-
We don't see it. How are we gonna believe it?
-
We're really good we like illusions
-
We we become the greatest illusion is this not it wasn't david copperfield
-
I don't even know that guy's still alive or not, but it's us. It's the church
-
We have the best pretenders out there
-
Pay me a selfie and then get out of here
-
You're gonna
-
Holy ghost
-
What happened there?
-
Checking in the city light
-
But then you ain't living like that all week
-
Holy ghost
-
Praise the lord everybody
-
You see you see my point here is this
-
You need to get so uncomfortable
-
To the point to where it brings you to do something different
-
You see because I just saw everybody having great church, but you like having church here
-
You don't have church anywhere else
-
You see this is where you come you this i'm prophetically speaking i'm not asking you i'm telling you what I see
-
You come to have church here, but you don't have that all week
-
You prepare this is this is the moment
-
That altar that altar is kind of covered with other stuff
-
The one at home
-
the one you carry
-
You know that that that you're supposed to be a porter of the glory where you're carrying a whole bunch of other stuff
-
You know, you're like one of those tote bags and oh we're gonna go this then you empty it out and put just what you need
-
Then you take off and then you come back and you empty it out same thing
-
It's the same thing. That's what we come and do here
-
It's not that you don't have a good church you have the right church you are the right church
-
I'm I this there's no question about it. There's no doubt about it. You got the right people
-
You got the right leader. The problem is the attitude. It's the mindset
-
It's all going to make sense when I give you that that prophetic word that god gave me
-
But i'm prophetically already speaking to you. I need you to understand that because of what god wants to do here
-
You with me
-
You mad?
-
It's all right if you would
-
I would have been good with it. Anyway
-
If you'll notice i'm not looking that way because if he's probably like, oh stop and i'm just like I didn't see anything pastor
-
You see but this is the problem
-
We're willing to live without the holy ghost. We're willing to live without that one thing that has kept us that one thing that will
-
Has promised us to make it
-
That's that's what I don't understand as how could we say that we're a church we should
-
We struggle to speak in tongues
-
We if we struggle to speak in tongues, how are you living in the spirit?
-
The problem is that we're not living in the spirit. We're we're being we're being led by our emotions
-
That's why you get mad and you're like i'm not giving anymore than i'm not going don't go leave get out of here
-
You think god needs you? It is your privilege to be in the house of god
-
It is your privilege to show in the kingdom
-
You think you're going to stand here and threaten the man of god the one that he died for and called?
-
And sealed and said i'm going to send you there and i'm going to surround you with people and i'm going to give those people
-
The opportunity to be a part of the blessing
-
And if you don't want it he'll bring them from somewhere else
-
I tell my church all the time pastor. I'm sorry i'm going there but the real I tell my church you don't sustain me
-
God is using you right now to pay me
-
I said, but if you want to shut your hand and shut your wallet do it because till now god has opened doors and
-
Somebody from another state came by and said hey remember I asked you to pray for this blessing
-
Yeah, he's like here's the check seven thousand dollars. That's for you brother. I said for the church. No, no, no, that's for you
-
I promised god that when I got that blessing I was gonna give you I said praise god
-
I told my wife here go pay all the bills. We paid bills. We paid credit. We got out of there
-
I said, I don't need you. I need him
-
But now that the church has understood now they're like no no no here I want to bless you because somebody this is what happened
-
I had a brother a brother when I was like, oh, let me he always wanted to give me some
-
And I was like brother, you don't have to be giving me. He's like, no, no, no
-
He's like it's because every time I give you something they give me
-
And he said he goes one day after a sunday service
-
He said pastor I want to buy your lunch here and I was like, thank you brother lord bless you gave me fifty dollars
-
I was like I can eat with less right, you know, but then I looked at my family
-
I was like, I'm gonna need more right. So anyway
-
Don't go there. Anyway, so we're leaving we get to the restaurant. He calls me. He's like pastor
-
I told you and I said what he goes my sister from Arizona. Just call me
-
She said I'm gonna need more
-
That's the god that we serve I said, that's the god that we serve not I we
-
All right, all right, that's not even part of the sermon just just listen
-
So the problem is that we get so used to living with all the but but we we're okay with living without the holy ghost
-
And that's not good church
-
And that's not good church
-
Because when we get used to living without the holy ghost we get used to living without miracles without prophecy without the gifts of the spirit
-
We get we get used to living and just with emotions and when how I feel with them
-
It has nothing to do with I don't feel like coming to church every day
-
I don't feel like getting up at three in the morning and praying. I don't feel like traveling all the time
-
I don't feel like doing this or doing that. I don't feel like praying for people sometimes. I'm tired
-
Sometimes I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it
-
Sometimes I'm tired. Sometimes I'm sick. Sometimes I got pain in my body
-
But god says I called you and I'm like, okay, and there you go to do it
-
Why because it has nothing to do with how you feel but about being spirit led
-
And I say that I say that because the holy ghost will make you do the craziest of things
-
The holy I promise you if you had an experience with the holy it'll make you do the crazy
-
I would never do that. No, and you'll do it. I've never loved that and you'll love it
-
I'll never pray that much and you'll pray it
-
I'll never give that bible and you give it and all of a sudden you start falling in love with the things that the holy ghost
-
loves like souls
-
Like submission
-
Yeah, I figured you know, but that's the problem because all the way you you want me
-
We're about the same age brother
-
So you're going to do it
-
Why do you gotta do it why do I gotta
-
But when the holy ghost begins to take over
-
All of a sudden it's not about how you look it's not about you
-
No, no, no, it has everything to do with him what he's doing what he's trying to get to and all of a sudden
-
You start finding out. Oh, I get it
-
Really? It's not me. I'm just a piece of the puzzle
-
Essential piece, but i'm not the whole puzzle. You see i'm just a part and I can take part or I cannot take part
-
But i'm not hurting anybody but myself first and then all those others and when I do that that is going to fall on
-
Me
-
And we're okay with that no brother i'm not yes you are when you're okay living without the holy ghost that's the way you are
-
You're okay with that
-
Because we the holy ghost you got to remember this the holy ghost is god living and dwelling in
-
inside of you
-
you're trying to hide from the pastor and the holy ghost is there like
-
You don't want nobody else to hear and he's like, you know, i'm still here, right?
-
You know that one two three o'clock in the morning that
-
Yeah, yeah because because half of you are doing things online that you shouldn't be doing posting pictures that you shouldn't be posting
-
Some of you want me to go there some of you I heard you you said do it say it
-
But it's because it's true
-
I i'm trying to get you uncomfortable to see that there's nothing you can hide from the lord
-
I don't want to call people out because that's not the holy ghost isn't here to embarrass people
-
That's not what the holy ghost does the holy ghost is here to correct you and realign you so that you can enter into his will
-
And you can continue going forward. It's not about the drawback. It's not about the fall. It's not about the mistake
-
No, no, no, the holy ghost says if you just allow me
-
I can dust you off and get you back on the road
-
But you need to get going you need to stop wallowing in the mud
-
You need to stop holding back
-
It's because they did this to me. It's all right. I still love you. I still killed you. I still cleansed you
-
I called you I raised you now go forward
-
No, no, no, no, you see
-
We got to be like david david was not an emotional man. He was a spirit-led man
-
When david fell best best with basheba and I believe it was psalm 51
-
He said lord you can have it all he goes just don't take your holy spirit for me
-
That is when you understand that the person knows what they're talking about
-
Because some some of us don't even think about that lord. Just don't take the job. Don't take the house
-
Don't take this and don't take that man. Take it all just don't take your spirit because without your spirit. I won't make it
-
You can lose the house god will give you another one. You can lose the car god will give you another one
-
You guys have a car
-
You can lose the car god will give you another one you guys have a kinder. Yeah, you can lose things that god will give
-
But don't take your spirit
-
Some of us are dying and making way because I need the crown who cares about the crown if you don't got the spirit
-
You need the spirit don't lose the spirit
-
Spirit perverted man cry out, please. Oh, please. Oh god. Don't take the money. Don't take the credential
-
Don't take the title take the job. Don't take the car. We don't even think about the holy ghost
-
We don't even talk about it
-
We don't even ask about it
-
But I hear a group of apostolic people raising their voices shouting that you can have anything lord
-
You can have anything just don't take your holy spirit from me
-
Because you see as a relentless church, uh, we can do without a lot of things
-
We can do without the money we can do without the friends. We can do without the title, but I can't do it without the holy ghost
-
We got to be willing we got to be determined we got to be relentless
-
I will not slow down. I will not back down. I will not vote to the president. I will be relentless
-
What kind of church are we going to be are we going to be a relentless church?
-
Are we going to be the kind that go hide and the kind that well it depends and and who's around and what are they doing?
-
How are you looking at me?
-
Well, what do you mean pastor? I think I think we got a good church, you know
-
I didn't say you have you don't have a good church again
-
You're not hearing things that i'm saying you're hearing things that i'm not saying
-
I'm asking you to be relentless in your praise in your purpose in your passion in your preaching in your service in your worship
-
And you're giving in your faith. I need you to be a relentless church
-
You a relentless person says i'm not giving up and i'm not letting you give up either
-
That's somebody relentless
-
Somebody relentless doesn't just think of themselves and look out for themselves and my ministry and my calling. No, no, no, i'm not giving up and no
-
No, no, brother david. No, no, you're coming with me and don't you dare stay back and you're gonna come and don't start putting up
-
A fight i'll get you too
-
So you better start coming up here and we gotta praise together and we're gonna give together and we're gonna pray together and we're gonna
-
But you're not staying in that rut and you're not staying back
-
And I don't care how many mistakes you make and i'm gonna pull you up because when i'm down
-
You need to pull me up because we gotta be relentless
-
Somebody who's not relentless what happened to so-and-so? Uh, they just stopped coming. What do you mean?
-
They stopped. Did you go look for him? Did you go find him? Did you go fast for him?
-
Did you pray for him? Did you deliver them? Did you do something?
-
Uh, uh city light
-
You need to be relentless church
-
From today forward our churches will be known as known as empowered churches those with apostolic roots and not afraid to say it
-
What are you christian it's okay to say apostolic ain't nothing wrong with it ain't gonna bite you
-
Well, maybe a little but not all the time
-
What's an empowered church acts one eight? We know that
-
And you shall receive power when the holy ghost has come upon you, right? But it's a church without limits
-
I said it's a church without limits
-
The primitive church used the persecution to grow you use the the persecution as an excuse not to do anything
-
Not to pray not to go not to do not to not to say no. No, we need to use it
-
the way they used it
-
An empowered church is a prospered church a prospered church. I said a prospered church
-
It's okay to be prospered y'all. It's okay to have a little bit of money. It's okay to do your thing. It's okay
-
I want you to that's a good thing. That's a blessing. It's not a bad thing
-
He said money. That's okay
-
It's the love of money. That's the root of all the pain
-
It's the love of money. That's the root of all evil not money
-
And if you don't like it, give it to me. I'll help you with it
-
We'll help you out, but that's the reality an empowered church is a prospered church
-
Tell your neighbor. It's okay
-
Throughout the bible you'll see it the hebrews when they left egypt. They didn't just leave
-
No, no, they gave him riches when jacob left his son, uh with his uncle
-
Uh laban laban tried tried to do him wrong and what happened at the end he ended up blessing him
-
The primitive church had everything in common and they were very blessed. They sold everything and they they were just blessed
-
An empowered church is a church in action a church that produces fruit and fruit that last
-
Not just smoke that only lasts for two hours on sunday
-
Uh an empowered church careful son, man, you can turn it off. I got myself
-
It's a church with a burden I says it's a church with a burden
-
The bible says that this same feeling being you like it was in christ
-
And we think oh, it's the feeling to love the souls. No, it's a feeling to die for them
-
The feeling to die for them. Are you willing to die for somebody?
-
Maybe that's the problem because you're you're willing to love them, but are you willing to die for them?
-
You're willing to tell them about jesus, but are you willing to die in other words to kill your saturday with all your friends?
-
In your outing. I don't know anything better. I don't even know the area, but I heard milpeda's the milpeda
-
Are you willing to kill that saturday to go to milpeda's mall to go fast for that person to go give them a bible study?
-
To go win them over to go stand in the corner and say this is where city light gets together
-
And this is where you can get your house in order and this is where you can get saved
-
And this is where you can get a miracle and this is where god will speak to you and this is the answer
-
Oh pastor, you mean you want me to come on the weekend too you want no no
-
No, I need you to kill your sleep. I need you to be willing to wake up when everybody else is asleep and intercede
-
I need you to be willing to do what not everybody's willing to do so that you can get what not everybody gets
-
Everybody sees the gifts everybody sees oh, I want that. Are you sure you want that?
-
Once they find out the processes they're like, oh well, well, maybe I don't want it all or maybe I don't want it like that
-
But we are an empowered church
-
Or we want to be
-
Well, that's who we're supposed to be church
-
It's a church in
-
revival
-
A church in revival is not one that says they're in revival. It's a church that has results
-
It's a church that's under the power of the holy spirit
-
Holy spirit and experiences miracle signs and wonders
-
Constantly and i'm not talking about that just the sick get healed but they get saved and i'm not talking about that
-
The captive get delivered, but they get converted
-
I'm getting ready to close don't get mad
-
A church an empowered church
-
Is a church that uses its keys uses its tools
-
Yes, you got the worship and yes, you got the praise
-
It's also generosity and knowing how to use the altar and knowing how to use prayer knowing how to use fasting
-
And knowing how to evangelize and knowing how to preach and knowing how to be under submission and knowing how to how to serve
-
Without a title you see I got a concept that house of hope and it's real simple
-
If you can't do it without the title, then you don't deserve the title
-
So are you after the title or are you after pleasing god
-
Because then I also know those people that with the title they want everybody to do it
-
But as soon as they don't have it they sit down they want everybody else to do it. I already did my part
-
That's not what god wants
-
Oh brother, this is weird. Yeah, it's a training session because of where you're going
-
I need I need to get it all out because because
-
In a bid you're gonna be like oh
-
That's why because the problem is this that a lot of the times we get the blessing because look you're gonna get the blessing
-
You're gonna get it
-
But if you're not ready, you're it's gonna go like water through your hands
-
Mostly you have a little bottle water
-
Next to you if god says i'm gonna give you a gallon of blessings. He's gonna give it to you
-
But if you can only capture eight ounces 12 ounces 16, that's all you're gonna say. Oh look
-
It's all here and it's all gonna go away
-
And then you're gonna get bitter and upset. Well, how come this and how come that it's because you didn't prepare
-
That's why god is here. That's what god is doing. He's molding you. He's preparing you. He's breaking you. He's expanding you
-
He's stretching you he's doing things
-
That you didn't expect
-
You know why
-
Because a lot of the times we just think we think that the church thing is oh it's because I thought I mean
-
How many of you know your pastor preach is good?
-
Let's not act
-
You thought he was gonna get the mic and man we were gonna get this place filled and we're gonna tell them
-
Hey, we need your spot too. And we're gonna that's what we thought because that's the way we think but the reality is god says
-
Yeah, i'll give it to you
-
But I need you to tear you and it's gonna cost you some I can't just every blessing you got to work at it
-
Every blessing even if he give you a million dollars. Guess what? You got to work at it and now you're gonna lose it
-
He's gonna give you a marriage, but you got to work at it
-
You're gonna lose it he's gonna give you kids and they're a blessing some of you well all of them
-
They're kids. They're blessed and you got to work at it
-
You with me
-
You with me
-
All right
-
That's enough of that now, let me give you what god has given me are you okay?
-
Mind you
-
I don't talk to your pastor about your church
-
Never have
-
The only thing is praying for you and I told them here and there god's gonna do this in your church
-
God's gonna bless y'all god's gonna do this brother do that whatever, you know minor things because
-
I I don't I don't believe like that if it's gonna be the holy ghost. It can be the holy ghost
-
But this is what god gave me
-
You ready pastor? This is this is for you in your congregation
-
David therefore departed thens and escaped to the cave of adulam
-
And when his brethren and his father's house heard it they went down thither to him
-
And everyone that was in distress and everyone that was in debt and everyone that was discontented
-
Gathered themselves unto him
-
And he became a captain over them and there were with him about 400 men
-
and
-
David went
-
Thence to misp of moab and said unto the king of moab let my father my mother I prayed he come forth and
-
Be with you till I know what god will do for me
-
And he brought them before the king of moab and they dwelt with him all the while that david was in the hole
-
And the prophet god said unto david abide not in the hole
-
Depart and get thee into the land of juda then david departed and came into the forest of hareth
-
Verse 6 when saw heard that david was discovered and the men that were with him
-
Now saw the boat and gave me a under a tree in rama
-
Having his spear in his hand and all his servants were standing about him
-
Then saw said unto his servants that stood about him here now ye benjamites
-
Will the son of jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards and make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?
-
That all of you have conspired against me and there is none that showeth me that my son has made a league
-
With the son of jesse and there is none of you that is sorry for me
-
Or showeth unto me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in wait
-
as it this day
-
Last night I went into prayer and I saw your church
-
And the lord says I want you to go and I want you to put order in the house. That's what he told me
-
And as I kept praying I was trying to ask god for clarity what it is that he wanted and what it is that he needed
-
And what I told you earlier that it's the right church and you're the right leader is from the lord
-
The prophetic word came from here and I began to realize and I began to understand
-
A few things number one
-
Is the people that came to david?
-
We're not always the perfect people is what we think but the problem with the church is that you still think you're that same person
-
I don't care where you come from. I don't care who you are and your past doesn't matter to me
-
What i'm trying to tell you is you need to let it go and let your leader lead you
-
Brother as a leader you need to rise and stop being hidden in that moment
-
People are going to rise against you and they're going to rise against your church and the saints are going to be true
-
Oh, oh, they're going to start to come and they're going to start to say he can't give you this and he can't give you that
-
And don't worry about what you can't give them because you can't give it to him
-
But that doesn't mean that god can't give it to them and as long as you preach
-
And you believe as long as you lead and you follow
-
I'm telling you hallelujah city light will be the church that everybody's going to be
-
Not just talking about but thinking about and saying man, I don't know what happened and I don't know what they did
-
But I believe my soprande rebekaya. I see the hand of god on you
-
I see the hand of god on silly like mountain view doesn't even know what happened to it
-
But when you came into this place, it was god ordered and he
-
Rebekaya I see the angels of the lord making way and chopping them down and saying my kids
-
Are about to take over the city city light. It is time to rise
-
And relentlessly take it over
-
Receive it in the name of jesus receive it in the name of jesus
-
As I was as I was looking at the hearts
-
I was looking at hearts doubting and how the heart's still holding back to the past. You can sing, but you're still holding on to the past
-
You can jump but you're still holding on to the past
-
You can take pictures, but you're still holding on to the past
-
You can drive up here
-
But you're still holding on to you need to let it go and you need to start hearing what they're preaching to you
-
You need to start hearing where they're leading you
-
and
-
You need to start following
-
they're leading you and he's saying get up and get out of there you're too
-
comfortable you're too comfortable where you're at you're comfortable having
-
church on Sunday my man God didn't bring you here and you see because let me tell
-
you this God doesn't make mistakes because the whisper has been and maybe I
-
shouldn't have done it maybe it was a bad move because things haven't turned
-
out the way you want it to but when you follow God halfway you're gonna get the
-
answer you're getting you see but when you say all right I'm done because
-
you're still holding on to up but it's cuz what no no no don't let God do it
-
the way he wants the way he wants because the way he wants is not the nice
-
way the way he wants is gonna make you come up with some egg on your face but
-
guess what he's gonna make you come out
