  1. Everybody say execute.

  2. Okay, if you're writing this down in your notes, God does not

  3. reward the fast or the flashy.

  4. He rewards the faithful.

  5. God does not reward the fast and the flashy.

  6. He rewards the faithful.

  7. He rewards the faithful.

  8. He does not reward the fast or the flashy.

  9. What are you talking about, Pastor Mike?

  10. Listen to the young ones.

  11. Stay in the game.

  12. Once you get 20 years into this thing, you're gonna realize

  13. there's a lot of people who went really fast but didn't go far.

  14. And, you know, there's a lot of people who are flashy and they

  15. were able to garner these massive audiences.

  16. And then you ask, like, where are they?

  17. They're nowhere to be found.

  18. Your goal should not be to go fast.

  19. I know that Instagram has programmed you to thinking that you're

  20. supposed to be somewhere, that you're supposed to have achieved

  21. certain things by this age that you're at.

  22. But can I tell you the thing that Instagram can't show you is

  23. faithfulness.

  24. Instagram can show you their house that's really not their house.

  25. It's an Airbnb they're pretending is their house.

  26. Instagram can show you their car that's not really their car.

  27. It's a rental that they took the stickers off.

  28. What Instagram can't show you is faithfulness.

  29. And I'm afraid that we're living in a generation where flash

  30. and fame is working on people.

  31. And I'm here to tell you, don't make it your endeavor to be

  32. famous or flashy.

  33. Make it your endeavor to be faithful.

  34. I wanna be faithful.

  35. God.

  36. Is there anybody else who wants to be faithful?

  37. Okay, so write this down.

  38. This is the next major point.

  39. Then we're gonna look at the scriptures together.

  40. Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.

  41. Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.

  42. Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.

  43. If you want to see God move.

  44. Stay consistent in the small things.

  45. Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.

  46. If you want to see God move, just stay faithful in the small things.

  47. Be consistent in the small things.

  48. That literally becomes the factory for the miraculous.

  49. If you need a miracle, think about it as a physical place.

  50. If you came to me and you said, pastor Mike, I need a miracle,

  51. where can I get it?

  52. Think about this physically, right?

  53. Some of you know how to go get Sheen, you need.

  54. Is that it, babe?

  55. Sheen, am I cool?

  56. The Gen Z's understand that.

  57. Was it Temu?

  58. Is that another one?

  59. Is Temu.

  60. Why are you shaking your head back there?

  61. You know, Amazon, we know where to get stuff if you were like,

  62. I need to get a miracle, you know where I would tell you?

  63. There's a factory called Faithfulness.

  64. And if you'll go to that factory, that factory produces the

  65. miraculous.

  66. Pastor Mike, what do you mean?

  67. Well, Jesus told this parable of this persistent woman, and she

  68. basically was involved in a legal matter, and she would not shut

  69. up.

  70. She was one of those annoying people that never stopped.

  71. She was relentless.

  72. In the midst of her relentlessness, the judge got so

  73. fed up with her that he said, you know what?

  74. Fine.

  75. I'll change the ruling in your favor because you won't shut up.

  76. What Jesus was trying to teach is that there is a power in faithfulness.

  77. There's a power in persistence.

  78. Let me give you an Old Testament reference.

  79. There was a woman named Hannah.

  80. Do you know who she is?

  81. And Hannah was barren.

  82. She was watching all her friends post Instagram pictures of

  83. their baby bump, and she was like, why not me, God?

  84. Post.

  85. But she understood the attribute and the nature of God is

  86. that God is a father.

  87. How many fathers do we have in the house?

  88. Wave at me.

  89. Okay.

  90. We got a lot of dads.

  91. Good job.

  92. Good.

  93. Proud of you.

  94. So here's the thing.

  95. Sometimes you don't want to give certain things to your kids,

  96. but if they get persistent enough.

  97. I'm only saying this because they're in children's ministry and

  98. they can't hear the secret.

  99. But sometimes you get so annoyed that you say, fine, you can

  100. have it.

  101. Leave me alone.

  102. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

  103. There are some times, because he's a father, that you can become

  104. so persistent that you can change a ruling on your behalf.

  105. And let me just tell you, Hannah, she would show up to her

  106. temple, which was this is Old Covenant.

  107. Eli was presiding over the temple, and she would come into that

  108. place and she would cry out to God in such desperation, she would

  109. pray with such desperation.

  110. And Eli, the priest, would say, I think this woman is drunk.

  111. So imagine how you, actor, you would think somebody would act when

  112. they're drunk out of their mind and then put that into a posture

  113. of prayer.

  114. That's wild.

  115. Am I right?

  116. That's wild.

  117. And as she was in the front doing that, it wasn't the first time,

  118. it wasn't the second time.

  119. But eventually, because of her persistence and faithfulness, God

  120. granted her prayer.

  121. And she birthed, literally, the greatest prophet of the nation

  122. of Israel, apart from Jesus, which was Samuel.

  123. I don't know why God didn't answer your prayer the first time.

  124. I don't know, but I Will tell you that the factory of faithfulness

  125. produces the miraculous.

  126. And let me give you another example.

  127. There is a man.

  128. His name was Jacob.

  129. Jacob was a liar.

  130. Jacob's name means heel grabber.

  131. You know the story.

  132. He wasn't supposed to receive the birthright, but he came before

  133. God and said, I didn't want the destiny you intended for me.

  134. I want an upgrade.

  135. Oh, come on, somebody and that angel came to him in the middle of

  136. the night and he wrestled all night.

  137. And said, I will not let you go until you change my name.

  138. And see, not all of you have that Jacob thing inside of you, but

  139. there's a couple of you that will say, God, I don't know what

  140. I was supposed to be, but I don't even want to be what I was

  141. supposed to be.

  142. I want an upgrade in my identity.

  143. I want an upgrade in my destiny.

  144. I'm not letting you go until you change my name.

  145. Until.

  146. Hannah.

  147. Jacob.

  148. What about the story of the woman who has the issue of blood?

  149. How did she get her healing from.

  150. Just staying home and saying, I hope Jesus thinks of me.

  151. I hope one of Jesus disciples.

  152. Matter of fact, I'm mad at James.

  153. Because he didn't pray for me.

  154. That's how most modern church people would act.

  155. Pastor Jocelyn didn't pray for me.

  156. I guess I have to leave the church because we always want somebody

  157. else to be faithful for us.

  158. That was the Holy Ghost knocking on your conscience.

  159. When you want an upgrade, you say, I'm not mad cause the pastor

  160. didn't give me bedside baptist manner.

  161. I'm not mad because matter of fact, some of you need to switch

  162. and stop asking people to pray for you, which is thinly veiled gossip.

  163. And start getting ahold of God and crawling through a crowd and

  164. saying, God, I'm desperate for a miracle.

  165. I don't need anybody to lay hands on me in the other season.

  166. It was great when it happened.

  167. But I'm gonna lay hands on you, Jesus.

  168. I'm gonna grab the hem of your garment.

  169. And I believe there's a template in the Bible for the faithful

  170. that say, maybe I was supposed to die of this disease, but I'll

  171. crawl through a crowd to touch the hem of his garment.

  172. I'll grab ahold of him till he changes my name.

  173. And maybe this is not for everybo.

  174. This message is for the faithful.

  175. Do we have any faithful?

  176. I'm different.

  177. Tell your neighbor, I'm different.

  178. Say it with some hillbilly, I'm different.

  179. Your God hasn't healed you yet.

  180. Yet your God has not blessed you financially yet.

  181. Somebody knows.

  182. Oh, you haven't written the book yet.

  183. Oh, yeah, you haven't succeeded in business yet.

  184. Yeah, see, God will put a yet and the devil will be taunting you.

  185. But you say the only part that mattered of what you said is yet.

  186. Because what God started is irrevocable.

  187. What God?

  188. Oh, come on.

  189. I might be Joseph in prison, but one day I'll be Joseph in the

  190. pal.

  191. I might be watching the sheep now, but I will be taking care of

  192. the sheep of Israel later.

  193. Even a pond, if a pond can make its way across the.

  194. Oh, come on, somebody.

  195. If a pawn will endure to the other side of the board.

  196. Even a pawn can turn into a king.

  197. You're about to get an upgrade if you remain faithful.

  198. Everybody who doesn't know chess is like, I don't get it, but

  199. it sounded good.

  200. When you're playing chess, if you can get that pawn to the other

  201. side of the board, you can turn it into a king.

  202. Some of you are about to give up too soon.

  203. God's about to upgrade you.

  204. You might have been born a pawn, but if you.

  205. If you die a king, it's because.

  206. You didn't give up.

  207. Come on.

  208. I'm speaking to some men.

  209. You got to get a fight inside of you.

  210. I'm not giving up.

  211. I'm not giving up on my marriage.

  212. I'm not giving up on my family.

  213. I'm not giving up on my destiny.

  214. I might have been born a pawn, but I'm gonna die a king.

  215. Devil.

  216. I'm pawn.

  217. I'm not your pawn.

  218. For pornography.

  219. I'm not your pawn.

  220. Come on, somebody.

  221. I'm not your pawn.

  222. For alcohol.

  223. Faithful.

  224. Somebody say, don't give up.

  225. Okay, so now let's look at the text the last five minutes.

  226. Galatians is a book that's written by the apostle Paul.

  227. And the modern day Galatia is in Turkey.

  228. So this is a real place and a real group of people.

  229. I just want to put it on the map for you.

  230. And when he was in Turkey, this is 48 to 55 AD.

  231. So this is about 25 years after the ascension of Christ.

  232. So just think about it in that context.

  233. And the issue with these people is that many of them were

  234. Jews who basically became Christians, first century Christians.

  235. And as a result of that, there was a lot of mixed emotions because

  236. when you leave one religious ideology, one structure, and then

  237. you go to the next, sometimes you have to make an exchange of your

  238. memories for legacy.

  239. Your memories for legacy.

  240. My dad's side of the Family was Sicilian Catholic.

  241. And I read the Bible for myself through elementary school.

  242. And by sixth grade, I remember confronting my grandmother and saying,

  243. I don't see the veneration of the saints.

  244. I don't see the worship of Mary.

  245. I get it, but I don't see it.

  246. I remember at sixth grade, I started to articulate the struggles

  247. that I was having with Catholicism when I actually read

  248. the Bible.

  249. Yeah, come on, somebody's realizing you're in the spirit realm

  250. right now.

  251. In sixth grade, I wasn't challenging, I was questioning.

  252. But instead of my grandmother responding in such a way that she

  253. went on a journey with me, she disowned me.

  254. So I want you to understand that I was disowned by my grandmother

  255. for even questioning Catholicism.

  256. Because sometimes people want memories more than legacy.

  257. And sometimes you struggle with, this is the way we've always

  258. done it.

  259. There's many of you that go to V1 church, but come out of Catholicism

  260. and you have this low grade guilt.

  261. And you come out of this and you're like, man, the preaching is

  262. helping me so much.

  263. The worship is so powerful, but it's not what we used to do.

  264. But sometimes when God's breaking legalism and control off

  265. of you, you have to say, I'm willing to let go of the memory so

  266. that I can make the true legacy.

  267. I've got to go to the Word.

  268. What is the Word?

  269. And this is what Paul was contending with.

  270. Paul was contending with a group of people that were called

  271. Judaizers.

  272. In other words, they were like, well, can we mix?

  273. Oh, I'm about to preach on that.

  274. Can we mix a little bit of the old with a little bit of the new?

  275. Maybe I can still drink and not get drunk.

  276. Maybe I can still cuss a little.

  277. Maybe it's not gossip, it's concerning.

  278. Maybe.

  279. See, some of us, we never fully go into the new.

  280. We try to make a mix.

  281. Maybe when I go to work, I can downplay the fact that I'm a Christian,

  282. maybe because I don't want to be that weird guy.

  283. And you rationalize and you justify how you've excused the fact

  284. that people that you know don't know that you know him.

  285. And we mix.

  286. And I want to call you to purity today, purity in the faith.

  287. And this is what Paul was doing.

  288. He was exhorting them.

  289. And the last thing I want to say, just to give you the full context,

  290. is that Paul wrote this letter really to address a theological crisis

  291. that was caused by false teachers.

  292. Now, let me just tell you there's many false teachers today

  293. who are creating these theological crises.

  294. And I want to speak to that for a second because.

  295. And I gotta be very careful.

  296. Cause I want you guys to really know I'm saying this in love.

  297. A false teacher is somebody who says something that sounds good

  298. but isn't good for you in the long term.

  299. And what'll happen is sometimes you'll be so wrapped up

  300. in the container that you miss the fact it was poison.

  301. You're like, no, no, this dude, the way he sounds, the delivery,

  302. the way he looks.

  303. I love this preacher.

  304. And you're so obsessed with the container that you didn't realize

  305. that there was, that he was dispensing poison.

  306. And let me just tell you this.

  307. The way that deception happens to Christians is the scriptures not

  308. being rightly divided.

  309. Because many of you are not going to be tempted by worldly things.

  310. You're going to be tempted with godly things that are perverted.

  311. So this is why I want to.

  312. Push you into maturity because a false teacher sounds right.

  313. When Jesus was being tempted by the devil, it was scripture versus

  314. scripture, not rightly divided.

  315. So what happens in these local churches is false teachers.

  316. They come in, they invade through the Internet, there's many

  317. of them and they say things that sound good, but so did Satan

  318. when he was talking to Jesus.

  319. So it's about the scriptures rightly divided.

  320. And I just want to help many of you understand that because as

  321. somebody who's been pastoring and shepherding for many years now,

  322. I've seen people come and go and the effects of what they say

  323. are not felt for years later.

  324. And you're like, whatever happened to so and so's disciples?

  325. Whatever happened to so and so's church?

  326. And then you find out that they were embroiled in conflict.

  327. I hesitate to say this, but I feel the Holy Spirit prompting me.

  328. There was, because I'm in Brooklyn right now.

  329. There was a very prominent multi site church in Brooklyn years

  330. ago, very prominent, that was rising in significance in this city,

  331. leading many people to Christ, that none of those church locations

  332. exist anymore.

  333. And I spoke with the former lead pastor of that group of churches

  334. and said what happened?

  335. He said, my leadership started engaging in orgies.

  336. Now I hesitate to say that and some of you might be like, I cannot

  337. believe he just said that from stage.

  338. But when I tell you, think about what happened, think about

  339. what happened.

  340. This is when you read the scriptures, the enemy, these demonic

  341. forces and these carnal forces are so strong that they are doing

  342. whatever they can to stop the move of God.

  343. And I believe that every single one of you under the sound

  344. of my voice have to begin to prepare yourself to be vigilant,

  345. to say, shut up, flesh.

  346. Shut up, devil.

  347. I'm going to obey the voice of the Lord.

  348. I'm not going to be given to false ideologies and false theologies

  349. and doctrines of demons.

  350. I am going to stay focused.

  351. How many churches in New York City have gone under for sexual perversion?

  352. From the head all the way down.

  353. Because if the devil can cut off.

  354. The head, the whole body dies.

  355. And that's why you need to start praying for pastors instead

  356. of praying on pastors that come on speaking to somebody.

  357. That's why we need to have each.

  358. Other'S back instead of stab each other's back.

  359. Because there's a war happening and we gotta be vigilant.

  360. We need to pray because I believe that we're here on a mission.

  361. But it's only gonna happen if we're faithful.

  362. We've watched New York City eat the famous pastors alive.

  363. We need faithful pastors.

  364. We've watched New York City eat the flashy pastors alive.

  365. We need faithful shepherds.

  366. Oh, I feel this in my chest.

  367. Y'all feel this with me because I'm.

  368. Trying to put roots down.

  369. But you are an oak of righteousness, and we gotta get over

  370. the me and we gotta start praying we.

  371. Because this is what Paul said in Galatians, chapter 6, verse 9.

    Galatians 6:9

  372. Now, he gets done dealing with the false teachers.

  373. He gets done dealing with all their bad theology and how they keep

  374. wanting to go back to Judaism.

  375. And then once he gets done with that, he ends with an encouragement,

  376. and he encourages the Christians that are going to remain.

  377. So I want to end with an encouragement today.

  378. This is what he said.

  379. And let us not grow weary of doing good.

  380. For in due season we will reap if we don't give up.

  381. Somebody say don't give up.

  382. Somebody just tap your neighbor and say, don't give up.

  383. It's not about never feeling weary.

  384. It's about never giving up.

  385. It's not about never feeling weary.

  386. It's about never giving up.

  387. There's times where I feel weary.

  388. Oh, God, I can't come in on Sunday.

  389. Oh, God, I can't do this again.

  390. All the lies, all the slander, the accusation, the babiness, the

  391. immaturity.

  392. Oh, God, I feel weary.

  393. Oh, God.

  394. Another issue.

  395. Oh, God, this.

  396. It's not about feeling weary.

  397. It's about never giving up.

  398. So if you're a parent, sometimes you're.

  399. Like, I don't know if I can.

  400. Even parent you right now.

  401. And you want to give up.

  402. Some of you got kids who left the faith and you, you just, oh.

  403. Lord, I feel like I want to give up.

  404. Let me encourage you.

  405. Don't grow weary in well doing, for in due season you will

  406. reap those seeds of righteousness that you planted in

  407. your babies.

  408. The Bible says if you raise them up in the faith when they're

  409. older, they will not depart from it.

  410. And I don't know why I'm saying this, but somebody's kid is

  411. getting ready to come home.

  412. Somebody's prodigal is on the back.

  413. And the Bible says when the father saw them far off, he prepared

  414. the ring and the robe.

  415. And I'm prophesying over somebody.

  416. I'm talking to an older person right now.

  417. I hear the Lord saying, get the ring and get the robe.

  418. Your son is coming home.

  419. Get the ring and get the robe.

  420. Your son is coming home.

  421. I feel it.

  422. Last but not least, Genesis, chapter 6, verse 22.

    Genesis 6:22

  423. Go Old Testament.

  424. Noah did did this.

  425. This is what the scripture says.

  426. He did all that God commanded.

  427. Everybody say all Noah.

  428. Okay, talk about scandal.

  429. I don't know if you have ever.

  430. Read this story, but Noah actually got drunk on the ark.

  431. Did you know that?

  432. Literally, Noah got drunk.

  433. He got so drunk, he got naked.

  434. That's real drunk.

  435. That's like fraternity drunk.

  436. That's like first week of college drunk.

  437. I'm talking naked.

  438. Like, he got so drunk, he was naked.

  439. What did his family do when he got drunk so drunk that he was naked?

  440. They covered him.

  441. When did we stop covering Noah?

  442. In the local church, right now, everybody has a ministry of

  443. uncovering who has the ministry of covering.

  444. What do I mean by covering?

  445. I don't mean by excusing.

  446. I mean by reconciling, bringing people through healing processes,

  447. restoring them.

  448. And Noah got covered by his family.

  449. But the thing I wanted to point to in the Old covenant reference,

  450. Genesis chapter 6, verse 22, is when you actually read the book,

    Genesis 6:22

  451. it says he did all of God's commands.

  452. See, here's the thing.

  453. Yes, he sinned.

  454. Yes, he messed up, but he also obeyed.

  455. Yes, he sinned.

  456. Yes, he failed, but he also obeyed.

  457. You're never gonna have a perfect pastor.

  458. You're never gonna be a perfect parent.

  459. You're never gonna be a perfect spouse.

  460. But you can be perfect hearted and.

  461. You can say, God, but my heart is after you.

  462. David sinned with Bathsheba, but he had a heart after God.

  463. God is looking at your corazon he's looking at your heart.

  464. He sees.

  465. And let me just tell you might have some sin in your life, but you

  466. got a heart after God.

  467. And I can rock.

  468. Go to the next level together.

  469. Let's be faithful together.

  470. You didn't become sinless, but you will sin less.

  471. Let's go on a journey of sanctification.

  472. And then my last scripture reference is 2nd Timothy, chapter

  473. 4, verse 7.

  474. Paul says this because we started with Paul to the church in

  475. Galatia, which is modern day Turkey.

  476. Now we're going to end with Paul again.

  477. Second Timothy, chapter four, verse seven.

  478. Second Timothy, chapter four, verse seven.

  479. This is what he says.

  480. And I encourage you to read second Timothy this week if you get

  481. time.

  482. I have fought the good fight.

  483. I have finished the race.

  484. I have kept the faith.

  485. Everybody say good fight.

  486. The fact that he called it the good fight means that.

  487. What's the opposite of a good fight?

  488. It's a bad fight.

  489. It's the wrong fight.

  490. So what he was saying is very specific because Scripture is very

  491. intentional.

  492. He said, I have fought the good fight.

  493. I want to encourage you.

  494. Many Christians die the death of a thousand cuts from the wrong

  495. fight.

  496. I want us to shift from the wrong fight to the good fight.

  497. Are y'all with me?

  498. I want us to shift.

  499. What's the bad fight?

  500. The bad fight is us fighting each other.

  501. The good fight is us fighting the devil.

  502. Oh, come on.

  503. I'm speaking to somebody.

  504. The bad fight is over opinions.

  505. The good fight is over souls.

  506. We need to switch from the bad fight to the good fight.

  507. And by the way, stop fighting your.

  508. Spouse and start serving your spouse.

  509. Let's fight the good fight.

  510. Let's come together and do what God.

  511. Has called us to do.

  512. And I believe that, like Paul, we need to shift from the wrong fight

  513. to the good fight.

  514. Somebody say the good fight.

  515. Somebody say, don't give up.

  516. We got a war.

  517. It's so funny how Christians will fight each other while Islam

  518. advances.

  519. Christian will fight each other while the new age and the occult

  520. advances.

  521. Christians will fight each other.

  522. Well, it's.

  523. It's like every other movement, they're advancing while

  524. we're here.

  525. No, no, we're not going to fight the wrong fight.

  526. We're going to fight the good fight.

  527. We're going to come together.

  528. I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm going to say it.

  529. Should I say it anyways?

  530. Tim, I'm going to give you the vision for this year's Breakers Conference.

  531. The Lord told me to wage war on the New Age because You guys have

  532. seen that the sales of New Age have been increasing.

  533. There's hospital systems right now where you can't necessarily go

  534. in there and anoint them with oil and prayed in the name of Jesus,

  535. but there's a Reiki session happening down the hallway.

  536. Did you know this?

  537. Did you know that?

  538. Oh, Lord, help me.

  539. We gotta wrap up.

  540. All I'm saying is this.

  541. I told our team, I said, what I want to do is I want to track the

  542. sales of New Age and occult items in America.

  543. And in a certain part of this year, we're going to set up the initiative,

  544. and all across this nation, we're going to wage war on false

  545. spiritual practices.

  546. And we're gonna see the sales of those items plummet.

  547. And then I'm gonna open up a fund for everybody with a New Age

  548. store that wants to repent and accept Jesus so that we give them

  549. finances to close their store or to change it into a bookstore

  550. for the Bible.

  551. And we are gonna begin to bring down the New Age in our generation.

  552. And then on the breaker stage, we're gonna bring out witches and

  553. warlocks who accepted Jesus Christ and became prophets.

  554. And we are gonna.

  555. Come on this year, we are gonna fight the good fight.

  556. Somebody shout the good fight.

  557. We're gonna mobilize against the real enemy.

  558. And it's not people, it's principalities and powers.

  559. So stand to your feet with me as we close.

  560. People say Reiki heals.

  561. Yeah.

  562. The devil has magician powers, too.

  563. When.

  564. When Moses was in the court of Pharaoh and he threw down his staff,

  565. the.

  566. The other magicians threw their staff down too.

  567. The devil's a counterfeiter.

  568. We're gonna show them who's the real.

  569. Power source this year.

  570. But we gotta fight the good fight.

  571. I want you to do this across this entire place.

  572. Cause sometimes people be like, well, look how big V1's getting,

  573. Tim.

  574. Look at all these people.

  575. We're good, right?

  576. No.

  577. Think about the millions of people who don't know Jesus.

  578. And the fastest route for you getting free from all the discouragement,

  579. all the depression, all the anxiety is you need a mission.

  580. You need a mission.

  581. We need you to join together in this church like never before.

  582. You need to become a leader.

  583. You need to be the kind of person who says, you know what?

  584. I'm jumping in head first.

  585. No more fear, no more anxiety.

  586. I'm jumping in whatever the Lord calls me of me.

  587. But it's going to happen through daily faithful things.

  588. Let me just.

  589. This is what the Holy Spirit gave me.

  590. And then we're going to pray.

  591. I want to read this to you because the Lord gave me this because

  592. I want to show you how it all started.

  593. Just one step at a time.

  594. Stay and execute.

  595. Stay and execute.

  596. It's not one powerful prayer.

  597. It's the power.

  598. Many small prayers building a relationship with.

  599. The one you pray to.

  600. It's not, oh, one day I'm gonna.

  601. Make one large donation to V1.

  602. It's 10% every time you get paid that builds this legacy of generosity.

  603. It's not I wrote a book.

  604. It's I wrote 200 individual pages, a few pages a day.

  605. It's not, oh, I did one big workout and transform my body.

  606. It's I showed up consistently day after day and I built a lifelong

  607. health.

  608. It's not, oh, I had one deep conversation and now I have a relationship

  609. with somebody.

  610. No, it's the daily check ins that build a strong relationship.

  611. It's not I just had a major career breakthrough.

  612. It's years of dedication in your field as a Christian, learning

  613. how to show the world success.

  614. It's not one social media post, now I'm an influencer.

  615. It's showing up every single day and stop building audiences and

  616. start building an army for the Lord.

  617. It's not one extravagant date and now.

  618. My marriage is better.

  619. It's the little moments of love and attention that build a lasting

  620. marriage.

  621. It's not mastering the Bible overnight.

  622. It's reading and meditating on God's word through the daily growth

  623. journal every single single day.

  624. And for me it's not one powerful sermon because sometimes

  625. I'm going to get up here and it's going to be totally mediocre.

  626. But I don't feel a burden for one powerful sermon.

  627. I feel a burden to show up and faithfully teach the truth of God.

  628. Whether I get claps or shouts or not.

  629. And I listen.

  630. This is the impartation you're going to get from me.

  631. Oh yeah, Apollos, he's amazing.

  632. He's a great preacher.

  633. Paul said I'm not so good.

  634. But what I give you is a.

  635. Demonstration of the power of, of the Holy Ghost.

  636. And some of you need to get.

  637. An appetite for faithfulness.

  638. How many of you want that appetite?

  639. Come on.

  640. So last illustration we're gonna, I'm gonna pray for you is

  641. in.

  642. In the year 1812, there was a war that was happening here in this

  643. region of the northeast.

  644. And there was a man named Captain James, Captain James Lawrence.

  645. And basically as this war was raging, it was a naval fleet that

  646. was cannonballs and they're fighting each other was this big,

  647. epic battle.

  648. And the captain of the ship basically got to the point where

  649. he was mortally wounded.

  650. So bleeding and on the verge of death.

  651. His men come to him and they're like, the war is still raging.

  652. What do we do?

  653. We're surrounded on every side.

  654. You know, what do we do?

  655. And his famous last words were, don't give up the ship.

  656. Everybody say that with me.

  657. Don't give up the ship.

  658. Say it again.

  659. Don't give up the ship.

  660. I want to get this in your spirit.

  661. Don't give up the ship.

  662. See, right now you might feel like you're mortally wounded and

  663. you might want to give up on your marriage.

  664. I want to say to the husbands and wives, don't give up the ship.

  665. Some of you want to give up on your children.

  666. Don't give up the ship.

  667. Some of you want to give up on your career.

  668. Don't give up the ship.

  669. Some of you want to give up on what God has for you.

  670. And this is.

  671. This is the vision I want to show you.

  672. I want you to get.

  673. Come on.

  674. Come on.

  675. This is.

  676. I want this to get in your spirit.

  677. Somebody shout, don't give up the ship.

  678. Come on.

  679. Let the devil hear you.

  680. Come on.

  681. I'm not giving up the ship.

  682. I'm not giving up the ship.

  683. Come on.

  684. They can't have our building on Long Island.

  685. We are turning a soccer stadium into a church.

  686. We're not giving up the ship.

  687. Here in the Monarch, we don't care what happens.

  688. We are not going to give up this brooking location.

  689. Come on.

  690. Somebody shout, don't give up the ship.

  691. Come on.

  692. The devil wants you to give up on what God told you is going to

  693. happen.

  694. But how many of you say, I still believe and I'm not giving

  695. up the ship.

  696. Come on.

  697. We're gonna pray.

  698. This is a holy resistance.

  699. Gen Z, Everybody might be vaping thc.

  700. But instead you're gonna be releasing the fragrance and the aroma

  701. of intercession and prayer.

  702. Gen Z, don't give up the ship.

  703. Gen Z, don't give up the ship.

  704. That high school was only built to be a place of revival in

  705. your generation.

  706. Teenagers preach the gospel and don't give up the ship.

  707. That school is a sanctuary for the kingdom of heaven.

  708. Don't give it up.

  709. Come on.

  710. Is Richard here?

  711. Don't give up the ship.

  712. Don't give up the ship.

  713. He's in the back.

  714. Richard, God has anointed you to literally bring freedom to the

  715. nations.

  716. Don't give up the Ship, Richard.

  717. Don't give up the ship, Richard.

  718. They keep talking about you because they can't silence you.

  719. They keep talking about you because they can't stop you.

  720. Don't give up the ship, Richard.

  721. You're the first, but you won't be the last.

  722. I see thousands and thousands gathering to you, Richard.

  723. Don't give up the ship.

  724. Come on.

  725. They can't manipulate you.

  726. That's why they don't like you.

  727. Don't give up the ship, Richard.

  728. Tim, that song.

  729. That song that you wrote, I believe is going to be translated

  730. in Spanish.

  731. And the Lord actually allowed me to hear.

  732. What's the name of it?

  733. The exact title?

  734. Yeah.

  735. Literally come down.

  736. The Lord spoke to me last night.

  737. I was in prayer, and he said, tell Tim that when your song gets

  738. translated into Spanish, it's actually gonna just start ripping

  739. through Latin America.

  740. It's coming.

  741. And the Lord says, I'm gonna begin to fulfill the dreams that

  742. I showed you, but I'm gonna do it through Latin hearts.

  743. And the Lord says, you didn't even plan on it.

  744. But the Lord says, it's actually gonna be greater than what

  745. you're even imagining.

  746. But the Lord says, it.

  747. It's going to come through you.

  748. But there's going to be a handoff.

  749. And I see a Latin American male worship leader singing your

  750. song.

  751. And it just goes out to the.

  752. Nations and it begins.

  753. So there's something for you, and it's going to be different, but

  754. bigger than what God said.

  755. So I say to you, don't give up the ship.

  756. Your time is not passed.

  757. You're just getting started.

  758. Don't give up the ship.

  759. Come on, church.

  805. I prophesy over each and every one of your marriages.

  806. Let's get some prayer team members just to stand behind them

  807. because you might be feeling like, did I make a mistake?

  808. Is there another way?

  809. There's all these thoughts in your mind.

  810. They don't love the Lord.

  811. They hate church.

  812. You know all this in your mind, but I hear the Lord saying,

  813. don't tell me what I can do, because the Lord's giving you a measure

  814. of faith right now to say, I can do the impossible.

  815. I can do the impossible.

  816. I can do the impossible.

  817. And so there are some of you.

  818. I see a weariness.

  819. And that's why that scripture says, don't grow weary, but in due

  820. season you'll reap.

  821. And I feel weariness over many of you that you said.

  822. I used to believe.

  823. I used to pray.

  824. But we're gonna join you now to begin to pray with you and for

  825. you.

  826. So right now, prayer team, can you just come around the front and

  827. just lay your hand on them and just begin to pray for them for a

  828. few moments and just minister to them?

  829. Yeah.

  830. Come on.

  831. How many of you know that we're going to be a church where

  832. we see marriage restorations like we've never seen it before?

  833. Come on, somebody say it.

  834. Come on.

  835. Let me ask you one more question.

  836. Raise your hand if just like Hannah, you need a miracle in your

  837. body, and you haven't seen it yet, but you're believing for it.

  838. Is there anybody here?

  839. Come on, man.

  840. As soon as you raised your hand, I felt faith withdraw.

  841. And I believe that the Lord is going to touch and heal your body.

  842. Can you just place your hand on her back real quick?

  843. Yeah.

  844. Just right next to her.

  882. something right now.

  883. If you're here in this crowd from the front all the way to the

  884. back, and you're saying, you know what?

  885. I want to come out of hiding, and I want to accept and embrace

  895. But if you're like, I'm coming out of hiding.

  926. I see you guys.

  927. Here's what I want to do prophetically right now.

  928. Pastor Eddie and Pastor Jocelyn, I want you to look around.

  929. The Lord says, there's more for you than against you.

  930. And the Lord says, I'm bringing those who will lift up the

  931. burden off of your shoulders and begin to carry the weight of

  932. ministry in this house.

  933. And the Lord says, I'm gonna begin to access their strength, access

  934. their wisdom, and they're gonna begin to lift the weight off

  935. your shoulders.

  936. And the sons and daughters of this house are gonna begin to move

  937. in power in this next season.

  938. And I heard the Lord say, my burden is.

  939. Whoo.

  940. My burden is light.

  941. My yoke is easy.

  942. So every single one of you right now, I want you.

  943. If you're up close, we're gonna do something symbolically.

  944. I want you to put your hands on them, just on their shoulders,

  945. and then everybody on back.

  946. I want you to connect to the people that are next to you.

  947. Because what God showed me.

  948. For this campus is completely separate than every other campus.

  949. The Lord told me.

  950. Whoo.

  951. Come on, worship team.

  952. Come closer.

  953. The Lord told me.

  954. Can I prophesy?

  955. I want to make sure we're all on the same page, because I feel

  956. it very strongly.

  957. I hear the Lord saying, I have mantled Brooklyn for evangelism.

  958. For I have destined this house to carry the mantle of evangelism.

  959. And you will plunder.

  960. Plunder, says the Lord.

  961. And you will lead thousands to me.

  962. And you will go on many exploits together.

  963. And I hear the Lord saying, for the last Latin Kings will know

  964. your name.

  965. And I hear the Lord saying, for the gangs of New York City will

  966. know your name.

  967. And I will strike fear in the hearts of those who oppose me when

  968. they see you.

  969. And even as Jehu came walking up and fear came into the hearts

  970. of the eunuchs to throw Jezebel, I hear the Lord saying,

  971. I have mantled this campus with the mantle of Jehu.

  972. To strike fear into the hearts of the eunuchs.

  973. And you will dethrone religion and the traditions of men.

  974. And you will call my kingdom down and many will be saved.

  975. And I hear the Lord say, for I will call forth the mantle of evangelism

  976. on Edwin Perez.

  977. And he will step in, and he will be known as one of the greatest

  978. revivalists of New York City.

  979. And the nations will know his name for the mantle that he carries.

  980. Being fully mature in the word and spirit.

  981. And I believe that today marks a turning point in the history of

  982. the Brooklyn campus.

  983. Today marks a turning point, and we will not give up the ship.

  984. This thing is going to ride into the next level the next season.

  985. Now, church, I want you to just begin to pray and prophesy right

  986. now.

  987. Come on.

  988. The Lord is knitting your hearts together.

  989. Come on.

  990. All over this place there's a unity.

  991. The Lord is knitting your hearts together.

  992. Come on.

  993. Every single project.

  994. The barrios, the hood, the places, the highways and the byways.

  995. We call them forth.

  996. We call them forth.

  997. Ten thousand souls.

  998. We call them forth.

  999. Ten thousand souls.

  1000. God.

  1001. We ask for the mantle of multiplication to begin to pour down

  1002. upon this house.

  1003. God.

  1004. Oh, Even as Lou Engel was on this stage, God.

  1005. That there was an impartation.

  1006. Oh, God.

  1007. That there would not even be room to contain them, Lord.

  1008. The mantle of multiplication.

  1009. The mantle of evangelism.

  1010. The mantle, God.

  1011. I hear the Lord Saying the phrase divine disrupt, divine disruption,

  1012. Divine disruption.

  1013. I believe the potential for what's happening in this Brooklyn

  1014. campus could be disruptive.

  1015. Disruptive?

  1016. What do I mean by that?

  1017. We're gonna have to figure out where we meet.

  1018. We're gonna figure out how we meet.

  1019. This thing is gonna start disrupting the works of darkness.

  1020. It's gonna spill out into the streets.

  1021. The Lord is saying, I want to.

  1022. Give you the mantle of multiplication, but.

  1023. It'S gonna take a unity like we've never had before.

  1024. Church, are you with me?

  1025. Brooklyn, are you with me?

  1026. I believe that there's a mantle.

  1027. I hear the Lord saying that even.

  1028. As the weather turns, so shall I begin to turn the hinges of the

  1029. door.

  1030. And even as the heat increases, so shall I turn up the

  1031. heat in Brooklyn.

  1032. And I hear the Lord saying that it will happen and you will

  1033. have a harvest out of season, says the Lord.

  1034. For even the summer months, I will begin to do something in this

  1035. place.

  1036. Even in the summer months, I will give you a harvest out of season,

  1037. of season.

  1038. And as it heats up in Brooklyn, the Lord says, I will turn

  1039. the heat up in Brooklyn.

  1040. And even as it increases, so shall you increase, says the Lord.

  1041. So look to the summer months.

  1042. Prepare for the summer months.

  1043. Because I hear the Lord saying, the harvest is here.

  1044. The harvest is here.

  1045. The harvest is here, I hear the Lord say.

  1046. For even during the pandemic, I.

  1047. I separated them.

  1048. For even during the pandemic, I sent them out of the city.

  1049. Even during the pandemic, I sent them to various places.

  1050. But those who remain are the harvest, says the Lord.

  1051. Those who are here, those who came, who were not here, are the

  1052. harvest.

  1053. And this summer, it's time.

  1054. Praise God.

  1055. Praise God.

  1056. Praise God.

  1057. Praise God.

  1058. Praise God.

  1059. Well, let me just say, like, a little closing prayer on this, because

  1060. they.

  1061. They have to do the next segment.

  1062. I don't even know how to do it, so I gotta pass the baton route

  1063. in a few moments.

  1064. Let me just tell you, for those of you who are like, I came

  1065. to watch my family get baptized.

  1066. What in the world was that?

  1067. This is what the church is supposed to be.

  1068. This is what the church is supposed to be.

  1069. No more games.

  1100. Father, we thank you for what you did in the service.

  1101. And I know that we got one last little thing to go, but I pray

  1102. for all the visitors who watch this that they would not feel like

  1103. outsiders, but that they would feel like insiders.

  1104. And for everybody who's like, man, I don't know if I fit in all

  1105. this.

  1106. Lord, that you would divinely show them.

  1107. Yeah.
