-
Everybody say execute.
-
Okay, if you're writing this down in your notes, God does not
-
reward the fast or the flashy.
-
He rewards the faithful.
-
God does not reward the fast and the flashy.
-
He rewards the faithful.
-
He rewards the faithful.
-
He does not reward the fast or the flashy.
-
What are you talking about, Pastor Mike?
-
Listen to the young ones.
-
Stay in the game.
-
Once you get 20 years into this thing, you're gonna realize
-
there's a lot of people who went really fast but didn't go far.
-
And, you know, there's a lot of people who are flashy and they
-
were able to garner these massive audiences.
-
And then you ask, like, where are they?
-
They're nowhere to be found.
-
Your goal should not be to go fast.
-
I know that Instagram has programmed you to thinking that you're
-
supposed to be somewhere, that you're supposed to have achieved
-
certain things by this age that you're at.
-
But can I tell you the thing that Instagram can't show you is
-
faithfulness.
-
Instagram can show you their house that's really not their house.
-
It's an Airbnb they're pretending is their house.
-
Instagram can show you their car that's not really their car.
-
It's a rental that they took the stickers off.
-
What Instagram can't show you is faithfulness.
-
And I'm afraid that we're living in a generation where flash
-
and fame is working on people.
-
And I'm here to tell you, don't make it your endeavor to be
-
famous or flashy.
-
Make it your endeavor to be faithful.
-
I wanna be faithful.
-
God.
-
Is there anybody else who wants to be faithful?
-
Okay, so write this down.
-
This is the next major point.
-
Then we're gonna look at the scriptures together.
-
Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.
-
Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.
-
Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.
-
If you want to see God move.
-
Stay consistent in the small things.
-
Faithfulness is the factory of miracles.
-
If you want to see God move, just stay faithful in the small things.
-
Be consistent in the small things.
-
That literally becomes the factory for the miraculous.
-
If you need a miracle, think about it as a physical place.
-
If you came to me and you said, pastor Mike, I need a miracle,
-
where can I get it?
-
Think about this physically, right?
-
Some of you know how to go get Sheen, you need.
-
Is that it, babe?
-
Sheen, am I cool?
-
The Gen Z's understand that.
-
Was it Temu?
-
Is that another one?
-
Is Temu.
-
Why are you shaking your head back there?
-
You know, Amazon, we know where to get stuff if you were like,
-
I need to get a miracle, you know where I would tell you?
-
There's a factory called Faithfulness.
-
And if you'll go to that factory, that factory produces the
-
miraculous.
-
Pastor Mike, what do you mean?
-
Well, Jesus told this parable of this persistent woman, and she
-
basically was involved in a legal matter, and she would not shut
-
up.
-
She was one of those annoying people that never stopped.
-
She was relentless.
-
In the midst of her relentlessness, the judge got so
-
fed up with her that he said, you know what?
-
Fine.
-
I'll change the ruling in your favor because you won't shut up.
-
What Jesus was trying to teach is that there is a power in faithfulness.
-
There's a power in persistence.
-
Let me give you an Old Testament reference.
-
There was a woman named Hannah.
-
Do you know who she is?
-
And Hannah was barren.
-
She was watching all her friends post Instagram pictures of
-
their baby bump, and she was like, why not me, God?
-
Post.
-
But she understood the attribute and the nature of God is
-
that God is a father.
-
How many fathers do we have in the house?
-
Wave at me.
-
Okay.
-
We got a lot of dads.
-
Good job.
-
Good.
-
Proud of you.
-
So here's the thing.
-
Sometimes you don't want to give certain things to your kids,
-
but if they get persistent enough.
-
I'm only saying this because they're in children's ministry and
-
they can't hear the secret.
-
But sometimes you get so annoyed that you say, fine, you can
-
have it.
-
Leave me alone.
-
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
-
There are some times, because he's a father, that you can become
-
so persistent that you can change a ruling on your behalf.
-
And let me just tell you, Hannah, she would show up to her
-
temple, which was this is Old Covenant.
-
Eli was presiding over the temple, and she would come into that
-
place and she would cry out to God in such desperation, she would
-
pray with such desperation.
-
And Eli, the priest, would say, I think this woman is drunk.
-
So imagine how you, actor, you would think somebody would act when
-
they're drunk out of their mind and then put that into a posture
-
of prayer.
-
That's wild.
-
Am I right?
-
That's wild.
-
And as she was in the front doing that, it wasn't the first time,
-
it wasn't the second time.
-
But eventually, because of her persistence and faithfulness, God
-
granted her prayer.
-
And she birthed, literally, the greatest prophet of the nation
-
of Israel, apart from Jesus, which was Samuel.
-
I don't know why God didn't answer your prayer the first time.
-
I don't know, but I Will tell you that the factory of faithfulness
-
produces the miraculous.
-
And let me give you another example.
-
There is a man.
-
His name was Jacob.
-
Jacob was a liar.
-
Jacob's name means heel grabber.
-
You know the story.
-
He wasn't supposed to receive the birthright, but he came before
-
God and said, I didn't want the destiny you intended for me.
-
I want an upgrade.
-
Oh, come on, somebody and that angel came to him in the middle of
-
the night and he wrestled all night.
-
And said, I will not let you go until you change my name.
-
And see, not all of you have that Jacob thing inside of you, but
-
there's a couple of you that will say, God, I don't know what
-
I was supposed to be, but I don't even want to be what I was
-
supposed to be.
-
I want an upgrade in my identity.
-
I want an upgrade in my destiny.
-
I'm not letting you go until you change my name.
-
Until.
-
Hannah.
-
Jacob.
-
What about the story of the woman who has the issue of blood?
-
How did she get her healing from.
-
Just staying home and saying, I hope Jesus thinks of me.
-
I hope one of Jesus disciples.
-
Matter of fact, I'm mad at James.
-
Because he didn't pray for me.
-
That's how most modern church people would act.
-
Pastor Jocelyn didn't pray for me.
-
I guess I have to leave the church because we always want somebody
-
else to be faithful for us.
-
That was the Holy Ghost knocking on your conscience.
-
When you want an upgrade, you say, I'm not mad cause the pastor
-
didn't give me bedside baptist manner.
-
I'm not mad because matter of fact, some of you need to switch
-
and stop asking people to pray for you, which is thinly veiled gossip.
-
And start getting ahold of God and crawling through a crowd and
-
saying, God, I'm desperate for a miracle.
-
I don't need anybody to lay hands on me in the other season.
-
It was great when it happened.
-
But I'm gonna lay hands on you, Jesus.
-
I'm gonna grab the hem of your garment.
-
And I believe there's a template in the Bible for the faithful
-
that say, maybe I was supposed to die of this disease, but I'll
-
crawl through a crowd to touch the hem of his garment.
-
I'll grab ahold of him till he changes my name.
-
And maybe this is not for everybo.
-
This message is for the faithful.
-
Do we have any faithful?
-
I'm different.
-
Tell your neighbor, I'm different.
-
Say it with some hillbilly, I'm different.
-
Your God hasn't healed you yet.
-
Yet your God has not blessed you financially yet.
-
Somebody knows.
-
Oh, you haven't written the book yet.
-
Oh, yeah, you haven't succeeded in business yet.
-
Yeah, see, God will put a yet and the devil will be taunting you.
-
But you say the only part that mattered of what you said is yet.
-
Because what God started is irrevocable.
-
What God?
-
Oh, come on.
-
I might be Joseph in prison, but one day I'll be Joseph in the
-
pal.
-
I might be watching the sheep now, but I will be taking care of
-
the sheep of Israel later.
-
Even a pond, if a pond can make its way across the.
-
Oh, come on, somebody.
-
If a pawn will endure to the other side of the board.
-
Even a pawn can turn into a king.
-
You're about to get an upgrade if you remain faithful.
-
Everybody who doesn't know chess is like, I don't get it, but
-
it sounded good.
-
When you're playing chess, if you can get that pawn to the other
-
side of the board, you can turn it into a king.
-
Some of you are about to give up too soon.
-
God's about to upgrade you.
-
You might have been born a pawn, but if you.
-
If you die a king, it's because.
-
You didn't give up.
-
Come on.
-
I'm speaking to some men.
-
You got to get a fight inside of you.
-
I'm not giving up.
-
I'm not giving up on my marriage.
-
I'm not giving up on my family.
-
I'm not giving up on my destiny.
-
I might have been born a pawn, but I'm gonna die a king.
-
Devil.
-
I'm pawn.
-
I'm not your pawn.
-
For pornography.
-
I'm not your pawn.
-
Come on, somebody.
-
I'm not your pawn.
-
For alcohol.
-
Faithful.
-
Somebody say, don't give up.
-
Okay, so now let's look at the text the last five minutes.
-
Galatians is a book that's written by the apostle Paul.
-
And the modern day Galatia is in Turkey.
-
So this is a real place and a real group of people.
-
I just want to put it on the map for you.
-
And when he was in Turkey, this is 48 to 55 AD.
-
So this is about 25 years after the ascension of Christ.
-
So just think about it in that context.
-
And the issue with these people is that many of them were
-
Jews who basically became Christians, first century Christians.
-
And as a result of that, there was a lot of mixed emotions because
-
when you leave one religious ideology, one structure, and then
-
you go to the next, sometimes you have to make an exchange of your
-
memories for legacy.
-
Your memories for legacy.
-
My dad's side of the Family was Sicilian Catholic.
-
And I read the Bible for myself through elementary school.
-
And by sixth grade, I remember confronting my grandmother and saying,
-
I don't see the veneration of the saints.
-
I don't see the worship of Mary.
-
I get it, but I don't see it.
-
I remember at sixth grade, I started to articulate the struggles
-
that I was having with Catholicism when I actually read
-
the Bible.
-
Yeah, come on, somebody's realizing you're in the spirit realm
-
right now.
-
In sixth grade, I wasn't challenging, I was questioning.
-
But instead of my grandmother responding in such a way that she
-
went on a journey with me, she disowned me.
-
So I want you to understand that I was disowned by my grandmother
-
for even questioning Catholicism.
-
Because sometimes people want memories more than legacy.
-
And sometimes you struggle with, this is the way we've always
-
done it.
-
There's many of you that go to V1 church, but come out of Catholicism
-
and you have this low grade guilt.
-
And you come out of this and you're like, man, the preaching is
-
helping me so much.
-
The worship is so powerful, but it's not what we used to do.
-
But sometimes when God's breaking legalism and control off
-
of you, you have to say, I'm willing to let go of the memory so
-
that I can make the true legacy.
-
I've got to go to the Word.
-
What is the Word?
-
And this is what Paul was contending with.
-
Paul was contending with a group of people that were called
-
Judaizers.
-
In other words, they were like, well, can we mix?
-
Oh, I'm about to preach on that.
-
Can we mix a little bit of the old with a little bit of the new?
-
Maybe I can still drink and not get drunk.
-
Maybe I can still cuss a little.
-
Maybe it's not gossip, it's concerning.
-
Maybe.
-
See, some of us, we never fully go into the new.
-
We try to make a mix.
-
Maybe when I go to work, I can downplay the fact that I'm a Christian,
-
maybe because I don't want to be that weird guy.
-
And you rationalize and you justify how you've excused the fact
-
that people that you know don't know that you know him.
-
And we mix.
-
And I want to call you to purity today, purity in the faith.
-
And this is what Paul was doing.
-
He was exhorting them.
-
And the last thing I want to say, just to give you the full context,
-
is that Paul wrote this letter really to address a theological crisis
-
that was caused by false teachers.
-
Now, let me just tell you there's many false teachers today
-
who are creating these theological crises.
-
And I want to speak to that for a second because.
-
And I gotta be very careful.
-
Cause I want you guys to really know I'm saying this in love.
-
A false teacher is somebody who says something that sounds good
-
but isn't good for you in the long term.
-
And what'll happen is sometimes you'll be so wrapped up
-
in the container that you miss the fact it was poison.
-
You're like, no, no, this dude, the way he sounds, the delivery,
-
the way he looks.
-
I love this preacher.
-
And you're so obsessed with the container that you didn't realize
-
that there was, that he was dispensing poison.
-
And let me just tell you this.
-
The way that deception happens to Christians is the scriptures not
-
being rightly divided.
-
Because many of you are not going to be tempted by worldly things.
-
You're going to be tempted with godly things that are perverted.
-
So this is why I want to.
-
Push you into maturity because a false teacher sounds right.
-
When Jesus was being tempted by the devil, it was scripture versus
-
scripture, not rightly divided.
-
So what happens in these local churches is false teachers.
-
They come in, they invade through the Internet, there's many
-
of them and they say things that sound good, but so did Satan
-
when he was talking to Jesus.
-
So it's about the scriptures rightly divided.
-
And I just want to help many of you understand that because as
-
somebody who's been pastoring and shepherding for many years now,
-
I've seen people come and go and the effects of what they say
-
are not felt for years later.
-
And you're like, whatever happened to so and so's disciples?
-
Whatever happened to so and so's church?
-
And then you find out that they were embroiled in conflict.
-
I hesitate to say this, but I feel the Holy Spirit prompting me.
-
There was, because I'm in Brooklyn right now.
-
There was a very prominent multi site church in Brooklyn years
-
ago, very prominent, that was rising in significance in this city,
-
leading many people to Christ, that none of those church locations
-
exist anymore.
-
And I spoke with the former lead pastor of that group of churches
-
and said what happened?
-
He said, my leadership started engaging in orgies.
-
Now I hesitate to say that and some of you might be like, I cannot
-
believe he just said that from stage.
-
But when I tell you, think about what happened, think about
-
what happened.
-
This is when you read the scriptures, the enemy, these demonic
-
forces and these carnal forces are so strong that they are doing
-
whatever they can to stop the move of God.
-
And I believe that every single one of you under the sound
-
of my voice have to begin to prepare yourself to be vigilant,
-
to say, shut up, flesh.
-
Shut up, devil.
-
I'm going to obey the voice of the Lord.
-
I'm not going to be given to false ideologies and false theologies
-
and doctrines of demons.
-
I am going to stay focused.
-
How many churches in New York City have gone under for sexual perversion?
-
From the head all the way down.
-
Because if the devil can cut off.
-
The head, the whole body dies.
-
And that's why you need to start praying for pastors instead
-
of praying on pastors that come on speaking to somebody.
-
That's why we need to have each.
-
Other'S back instead of stab each other's back.
-
Because there's a war happening and we gotta be vigilant.
-
We need to pray because I believe that we're here on a mission.
-
But it's only gonna happen if we're faithful.
-
We've watched New York City eat the famous pastors alive.
-
We need faithful pastors.
-
We've watched New York City eat the flashy pastors alive.
-
We need faithful shepherds.
-
Oh, I feel this in my chest.
-
Y'all feel this with me because I'm.
-
Trying to put roots down.
-
But you are an oak of righteousness, and we gotta get over
-
the me and we gotta start praying we.
-
Because this is what Paul said in Galatians, chapter 6, verse 9.
-
Now, he gets done dealing with the false teachers.
-
He gets done dealing with all their bad theology and how they keep
-
wanting to go back to Judaism.
-
And then once he gets done with that, he ends with an encouragement,
-
and he encourages the Christians that are going to remain.
-
So I want to end with an encouragement today.
-
This is what he said.
-
And let us not grow weary of doing good.
-
For in due season we will reap if we don't give up.
-
Somebody say don't give up.
-
Somebody just tap your neighbor and say, don't give up.
-
It's not about never feeling weary.
-
It's about never giving up.
-
It's not about never feeling weary.
-
It's about never giving up.
-
There's times where I feel weary.
-
Oh, God, I can't come in on Sunday.
-
Oh, God, I can't do this again.
-
All the lies, all the slander, the accusation, the babiness, the
-
immaturity.
-
Oh, God, I feel weary.
-
Oh, God.
-
Another issue.
-
Oh, God, this.
-
It's not about feeling weary.
-
It's about never giving up.
-
So if you're a parent, sometimes you're.
-
Like, I don't know if I can.
-
Even parent you right now.
-
And you want to give up.
-
Some of you got kids who left the faith and you, you just, oh.
-
Lord, I feel like I want to give up.
-
Let me encourage you.
-
Don't grow weary in well doing, for in due season you will
-
reap those seeds of righteousness that you planted in
-
your babies.
-
The Bible says if you raise them up in the faith when they're
-
older, they will not depart from it.
-
And I don't know why I'm saying this, but somebody's kid is
-
getting ready to come home.
-
Somebody's prodigal is on the back.
-
And the Bible says when the father saw them far off, he prepared
-
the ring and the robe.
-
And I'm prophesying over somebody.
-
I'm talking to an older person right now.
-
I hear the Lord saying, get the ring and get the robe.
-
Your son is coming home.
-
Get the ring and get the robe.
-
Your son is coming home.
-
I feel it.
-
Last but not least, Genesis, chapter 6, verse 22.
-
Go Old Testament.
-
Noah did did this.
-
This is what the scripture says.
-
He did all that God commanded.
-
Everybody say all Noah.
-
Okay, talk about scandal.
-
I don't know if you have ever.
-
Read this story, but Noah actually got drunk on the ark.
-
Did you know that?
-
Literally, Noah got drunk.
-
He got so drunk, he got naked.
-
That's real drunk.
-
That's like fraternity drunk.
-
That's like first week of college drunk.
-
I'm talking naked.
-
Like, he got so drunk, he was naked.
-
What did his family do when he got drunk so drunk that he was naked?
-
They covered him.
-
When did we stop covering Noah?
-
In the local church, right now, everybody has a ministry of
-
uncovering who has the ministry of covering.
-
What do I mean by covering?
-
I don't mean by excusing.
-
I mean by reconciling, bringing people through healing processes,
-
restoring them.
-
And Noah got covered by his family.
-
But the thing I wanted to point to in the Old covenant reference,
-
Genesis chapter 6, verse 22, is when you actually read the book,
-
it says he did all of God's commands.
-
See, here's the thing.
-
Yes, he sinned.
-
Yes, he messed up, but he also obeyed.
-
Yes, he sinned.
-
Yes, he failed, but he also obeyed.
-
You're never gonna have a perfect pastor.
-
You're never gonna be a perfect parent.
-
You're never gonna be a perfect spouse.
-
But you can be perfect hearted and.
-
You can say, God, but my heart is after you.
-
David sinned with Bathsheba, but he had a heart after God.
-
God is looking at your corazon he's looking at your heart.
-
He sees.
-
And let me just tell you might have some sin in your life, but you
-
got a heart after God.
-
And I can rock.
-
Go to the next level together.
-
Let's be faithful together.
-
You didn't become sinless, but you will sin less.
-
Let's go on a journey of sanctification.
-
And then my last scripture reference is 2nd Timothy, chapter
-
4, verse 7.
-
Paul says this because we started with Paul to the church in
-
Galatia, which is modern day Turkey.
-
Now we're going to end with Paul again.
-
Second Timothy, chapter four, verse seven.
-
Second Timothy, chapter four, verse seven.
-
This is what he says.
-
And I encourage you to read second Timothy this week if you get
-
time.
-
I have fought the good fight.
-
I have finished the race.
-
I have kept the faith.
-
Everybody say good fight.
-
The fact that he called it the good fight means that.
-
What's the opposite of a good fight?
-
It's a bad fight.
-
It's the wrong fight.
-
So what he was saying is very specific because Scripture is very
-
intentional.
-
He said, I have fought the good fight.
-
I want to encourage you.
-
Many Christians die the death of a thousand cuts from the wrong
-
fight.
-
I want us to shift from the wrong fight to the good fight.
-
Are y'all with me?
-
I want us to shift.
-
What's the bad fight?
-
The bad fight is us fighting each other.
-
The good fight is us fighting the devil.
-
Oh, come on.
-
I'm speaking to somebody.
-
The bad fight is over opinions.
-
The good fight is over souls.
-
We need to switch from the bad fight to the good fight.
-
And by the way, stop fighting your.
-
Spouse and start serving your spouse.
-
Let's fight the good fight.
-
Let's come together and do what God.
-
Has called us to do.
-
And I believe that, like Paul, we need to shift from the wrong fight
-
to the good fight.
-
Somebody say the good fight.
-
Somebody say, don't give up.
-
We got a war.
-
It's so funny how Christians will fight each other while Islam
-
advances.
-
Christian will fight each other while the new age and the occult
-
advances.
-
Christians will fight each other.
-
Well, it's.
-
It's like every other movement, they're advancing while
-
we're here.
-
No, no, we're not going to fight the wrong fight.
-
We're going to fight the good fight.
-
We're going to come together.
-
I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm going to say it.
-
Should I say it anyways?
-
Tim, I'm going to give you the vision for this year's Breakers Conference.
-
The Lord told me to wage war on the New Age because You guys have
-
seen that the sales of New Age have been increasing.
-
There's hospital systems right now where you can't necessarily go
-
in there and anoint them with oil and prayed in the name of Jesus,
-
but there's a Reiki session happening down the hallway.
-
Did you know this?
-
Did you know that?
-
Oh, Lord, help me.
-
We gotta wrap up.
-
All I'm saying is this.
-
I told our team, I said, what I want to do is I want to track the
-
sales of New Age and occult items in America.
-
And in a certain part of this year, we're going to set up the initiative,
-
and all across this nation, we're going to wage war on false
-
spiritual practices.
-
And we're gonna see the sales of those items plummet.
-
And then I'm gonna open up a fund for everybody with a New Age
-
store that wants to repent and accept Jesus so that we give them
-
finances to close their store or to change it into a bookstore
-
for the Bible.
-
And we are gonna begin to bring down the New Age in our generation.
-
And then on the breaker stage, we're gonna bring out witches and
-
warlocks who accepted Jesus Christ and became prophets.
-
And we are gonna.
-
Come on this year, we are gonna fight the good fight.
-
Somebody shout the good fight.
-
We're gonna mobilize against the real enemy.
-
And it's not people, it's principalities and powers.
-
So stand to your feet with me as we close.
-
People say Reiki heals.
-
Yeah.
-
The devil has magician powers, too.
-
When.
-
When Moses was in the court of Pharaoh and he threw down his staff,
-
the.
-
The other magicians threw their staff down too.
-
The devil's a counterfeiter.
-
We're gonna show them who's the real.
-
Power source this year.
-
But we gotta fight the good fight.
-
I want you to do this across this entire place.
-
Cause sometimes people be like, well, look how big V1's getting,
-
Tim.
-
Look at all these people.
-
We're good, right?
-
No.
-
Think about the millions of people who don't know Jesus.
-
And the fastest route for you getting free from all the discouragement,
-
all the depression, all the anxiety is you need a mission.
-
You need a mission.
-
We need you to join together in this church like never before.
-
You need to become a leader.
-
You need to be the kind of person who says, you know what?
-
I'm jumping in head first.
-
No more fear, no more anxiety.
-
I'm jumping in whatever the Lord calls me of me.
-
But it's going to happen through daily faithful things.
-
Let me just.
-
This is what the Holy Spirit gave me.
-
And then we're going to pray.
-
I want to read this to you because the Lord gave me this because
-
I want to show you how it all started.
-
Just one step at a time.
-
Stay and execute.
-
Stay and execute.
-
It's not one powerful prayer.
-
It's the power.
-
Many small prayers building a relationship with.
-
The one you pray to.
-
It's not, oh, one day I'm gonna.
-
Make one large donation to V1.
-
It's 10% every time you get paid that builds this legacy of generosity.
-
It's not I wrote a book.
-
It's I wrote 200 individual pages, a few pages a day.
-
It's not, oh, I did one big workout and transform my body.
-
It's I showed up consistently day after day and I built a lifelong
-
health.
-
It's not, oh, I had one deep conversation and now I have a relationship
-
with somebody.
-
No, it's the daily check ins that build a strong relationship.
-
It's not I just had a major career breakthrough.
-
It's years of dedication in your field as a Christian, learning
-
how to show the world success.
-
It's not one social media post, now I'm an influencer.
-
It's showing up every single day and stop building audiences and
-
start building an army for the Lord.
-
It's not one extravagant date and now.
-
My marriage is better.
-
It's the little moments of love and attention that build a lasting
-
marriage.
-
It's not mastering the Bible overnight.
-
It's reading and meditating on God's word through the daily growth
-
journal every single single day.
-
And for me it's not one powerful sermon because sometimes
-
I'm going to get up here and it's going to be totally mediocre.
-
But I don't feel a burden for one powerful sermon.
-
I feel a burden to show up and faithfully teach the truth of God.
-
Whether I get claps or shouts or not.
-
And I listen.
-
This is the impartation you're going to get from me.
-
Oh yeah, Apollos, he's amazing.
-
He's a great preacher.
-
Paul said I'm not so good.
-
But what I give you is a.
-
Demonstration of the power of, of the Holy Ghost.
-
And some of you need to get.
-
An appetite for faithfulness.
-
How many of you want that appetite?
-
Come on.
-
So last illustration we're gonna, I'm gonna pray for you is
-
in.
-
In the year 1812, there was a war that was happening here in this
-
region of the northeast.
-
And there was a man named Captain James, Captain James Lawrence.
-
And basically as this war was raging, it was a naval fleet that
-
was cannonballs and they're fighting each other was this big,
-
epic battle.
-
And the captain of the ship basically got to the point where
-
he was mortally wounded.
-
So bleeding and on the verge of death.
-
His men come to him and they're like, the war is still raging.
-
What do we do?
-
We're surrounded on every side.
-
You know, what do we do?
-
And his famous last words were, don't give up the ship.
-
Everybody say that with me.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
Say it again.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
I want to get this in your spirit.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
See, right now you might feel like you're mortally wounded and
-
you might want to give up on your marriage.
-
I want to say to the husbands and wives, don't give up the ship.
-
Some of you want to give up on your children.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
Some of you want to give up on your career.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
Some of you want to give up on what God has for you.
-
And this is.
-
This is the vision I want to show you.
-
I want you to get.
-
Come on.
-
Come on.
-
This is.
-
I want this to get in your spirit.
-
Somebody shout, don't give up the ship.
-
Come on.
-
Let the devil hear you.
-
Come on.
-
I'm not giving up the ship.
-
I'm not giving up the ship.
-
Come on.
-
They can't have our building on Long Island.
-
We are turning a soccer stadium into a church.
-
We're not giving up the ship.
-
Here in the Monarch, we don't care what happens.
-
We are not going to give up this brooking location.
-
Come on.
-
Somebody shout, don't give up the ship.
-
Come on.
-
The devil wants you to give up on what God told you is going to
-
happen.
-
But how many of you say, I still believe and I'm not giving
-
up the ship.
-
Come on.
-
We're gonna pray.
-
This is a holy resistance.
-
Gen Z, Everybody might be vaping thc.
-
But instead you're gonna be releasing the fragrance and the aroma
-
of intercession and prayer.
-
Gen Z, don't give up the ship.
-
Gen Z, don't give up the ship.
-
That high school was only built to be a place of revival in
-
your generation.
-
Teenagers preach the gospel and don't give up the ship.
-
That school is a sanctuary for the kingdom of heaven.
-
Don't give it up.
-
Come on.
-
Is Richard here?
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
He's in the back.
-
Richard, God has anointed you to literally bring freedom to the
-
nations.
-
Don't give up the Ship, Richard.
-
Don't give up the ship, Richard.
-
They keep talking about you because they can't silence you.
-
They keep talking about you because they can't stop you.
-
Don't give up the ship, Richard.
-
You're the first, but you won't be the last.
-
I see thousands and thousands gathering to you, Richard.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
Come on.
-
They can't manipulate you.
-
That's why they don't like you.
-
Don't give up the ship, Richard.
-
Tim, that song.
-
That song that you wrote, I believe is going to be translated
-
in Spanish.
-
And the Lord actually allowed me to hear.
-
What's the name of it?
-
The exact title?
-
Yeah.
-
Literally come down.
-
The Lord spoke to me last night.
-
I was in prayer, and he said, tell Tim that when your song gets
-
translated into Spanish, it's actually gonna just start ripping
-
through Latin America.
-
It's coming.
-
And the Lord says, I'm gonna begin to fulfill the dreams that
-
I showed you, but I'm gonna do it through Latin hearts.
-
And the Lord says, you didn't even plan on it.
-
But the Lord says, it's actually gonna be greater than what
-
you're even imagining.
-
But the Lord says, it.
-
It's going to come through you.
-
But there's going to be a handoff.
-
And I see a Latin American male worship leader singing your
-
song.
-
And it just goes out to the.
-
Nations and it begins.
-
So there's something for you, and it's going to be different, but
-
bigger than what God said.
-
So I say to you, don't give up the ship.
-
Your time is not passed.
-
You're just getting started.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
Come on, church.
-
I want to do something because we got a close service in a second,
-
man.
-
We got people who got baptized today.
-
Wasn't that amazing?
-
Would you guys give me three more minutes?
-
If you're on the verge of giving up on your relationship, I
-
want you to come up front right now.
-
I'm putting you on the spot.
-
But if you're like, my marriage needs help, be bold about
-
it.
-
I'm talking about married couples.
-
Come up to the front right now because the Lord's telling me, yeah,
-
come on up.
-
We're gonna pray for you.
-
Yeah, come on.
-
Don't be ashamed.
-
Yeah, God, yeah.
-
Spread out here.
-
Because the Lord told me that he's healing relationships.
-
He's about to heal relationships.
-
Yeah.
-
Come on.
-
Yeah, Come on.
-
Yeah.
-
Who else?
-
Who else?
-
I'm gonna give you a few.
-
I'm talking about marriages are about to be restored.
-
You're believing for Your marriage restoration.
-
Come on.
-
You're believing for a restoration.
-
Come on.
-
Who else?
-
Who else?
-
I'll wait 20 more seconds to.
-
If somebody needs courage to come.
-
Yeah.
-
Praise God.
-
Praise God.
-
Come on.
-
Thank you for your obedience.
-
Come on, church say, don't give up the ship.
-
Yeah.
-
Don't give up the ship.
-
Right now.
-
I prophesy over each and every one of your marriages.
-
Let's get some prayer team members just to stand behind them
-
because you might be feeling like, did I make a mistake?
-
Is there another way?
-
There's all these thoughts in your mind.
-
They don't love the Lord.
-
They hate church.
-
You know all this in your mind, but I hear the Lord saying,
-
don't tell me what I can do, because the Lord's giving you a measure
-
of faith right now to say, I can do the impossible.
-
I can do the impossible.
-
I can do the impossible.
-
And so there are some of you.
-
I see a weariness.
-
And that's why that scripture says, don't grow weary, but in due
-
season you'll reap.
-
And I feel weariness over many of you that you said.
-
I used to believe.
-
I used to pray.
-
But we're gonna join you now to begin to pray with you and for
-
you.
-
So right now, prayer team, can you just come around the front and
-
just lay your hand on them and just begin to pray for them for a
-
few moments and just minister to them?
-
Yeah.
-
Come on.
-
How many of you know that we're going to be a church where
-
we see marriage restorations like we've never seen it before?
-
Come on, somebody say it.
-
Come on.
-
Let me ask you one more question.
-
Raise your hand if just like Hannah, you need a miracle in your
-
body, and you haven't seen it yet, but you're believing for it.
-
Is there anybody here?
-
Come on, man.
-
As soon as you raised your hand, I felt faith withdraw.
-
And I believe that the Lord is going to touch and heal your body.
-
Can you just place your hand on her back real quick?
-
Yeah.
-
Just right next to her.
-
Somebody.
-
Yeah.
-
A.K.
-
place your.
-
I want to pray for your body.
-
Wow.
-
As soon as you lifted your hand, I felt the faith.
-
What'd she say?
-
You just got baptized.
-
Wow.
-
Well, you're getting a double portion today.
-
You're getting a double portion today.
-
AK Lay your hand on her head.
-
From the top of your head to the soles of your feet.
-
Come on, church.
-
Help me pray for her body.
-
We release supernatural healing.
-
Supernatural healing right now.
-
From the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
-
That every condition of her body is completely and totally healed.
-
Jesus, mighty name, I thank you for.
-
Healing in her body right now.
-
Restore her body right now, God.
-
And we thank you that even as she's baptized.
-
You're not done yet.
-
More, God, more.
-
Thank you, Father.
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
-
Come on, come on.
-
We're almost done.
-
Where's Pastor Eddie?
-
Come here, Pastor Eddie, just come have him come right here real
-
quick.
-
Just stand right here and face outward.
-
This is such a prophetic symbol.
-
As the father and the campus pastor of this house, I want to do
-
something right now.
-
If you're here in this crowd from the front all the way to the
-
back, and you're saying, you know what?
-
I want to come out of hiding, and I want to accept and embrace
-
the call that God has for me, and I want to do what God's called
-
me to do.
-
I want you to just come forward right now and come over here
-
where Pastor Eddie is.
-
I'm talking to the men.
-
If I'm specifically talking to the men.
-
Maybe you've never even had a conversation with him.
-
Maybe you've never even talked to him.
-
But I want men and women.
-
But if you're like, I'm coming out of hiding.
-
I don't even know you.
-
I don't know people of this church, but I'm willing to accept
-
the call.
-
Just press in.
-
Press in.
-
Press in.
-
Press in.
-
Press in.
-
Press in.
-
Press in.
-
Press in.
-
Get closer.
-
Get closer to him.
-
Yeah.
-
Come on.
-
Press in.
-
Press in.
-
Wow.
-
Where's Jocelyn?
-
Is she available?
-
Yeah.
-
Jocelyn, come stand next to him.
-
Wow.
-
Wow.
-
And you guys are all saying, wave at me if you're responding to
-
this.
-
Okay.
-
You just can't fit.
-
Okay.
-
Praise God.
-
I see you guys.
-
Here's what I want to do prophetically right now.
-
Pastor Eddie and Pastor Jocelyn, I want you to look around.
-
The Lord says, there's more for you than against you.
-
And the Lord says, I'm bringing those who will lift up the
-
burden off of your shoulders and begin to carry the weight of
-
ministry in this house.
-
And the Lord says, I'm gonna begin to access their strength, access
-
their wisdom, and they're gonna begin to lift the weight off
-
your shoulders.
-
And the sons and daughters of this house are gonna begin to move
-
in power in this next season.
-
And I heard the Lord say, my burden is.
-
Whoo.
-
My burden is light.
-
My yoke is easy.
-
So every single one of you right now, I want you.
-
If you're up close, we're gonna do something symbolically.
-
I want you to put your hands on them, just on their shoulders,
-
and then everybody on back.
-
I want you to connect to the people that are next to you.
-
Because what God showed me.
-
For this campus is completely separate than every other campus.
-
The Lord told me.
-
Whoo.
-
Come on, worship team.
-
Come closer.
-
The Lord told me.
-
Can I prophesy?
-
I want to make sure we're all on the same page, because I feel
-
it very strongly.
-
I hear the Lord saying, I have mantled Brooklyn for evangelism.
-
For I have destined this house to carry the mantle of evangelism.
-
And you will plunder.
-
Plunder, says the Lord.
-
And you will lead thousands to me.
-
And you will go on many exploits together.
-
And I hear the Lord saying, for the last Latin Kings will know
-
your name.
-
And I hear the Lord saying, for the gangs of New York City will
-
know your name.
-
And I will strike fear in the hearts of those who oppose me when
-
they see you.
-
And even as Jehu came walking up and fear came into the hearts
-
of the eunuchs to throw Jezebel, I hear the Lord saying,
-
I have mantled this campus with the mantle of Jehu.
-
To strike fear into the hearts of the eunuchs.
-
And you will dethrone religion and the traditions of men.
-
And you will call my kingdom down and many will be saved.
-
And I hear the Lord say, for I will call forth the mantle of evangelism
-
on Edwin Perez.
-
And he will step in, and he will be known as one of the greatest
-
revivalists of New York City.
-
And the nations will know his name for the mantle that he carries.
-
Being fully mature in the word and spirit.
-
And I believe that today marks a turning point in the history of
-
the Brooklyn campus.
-
Today marks a turning point, and we will not give up the ship.
-
This thing is going to ride into the next level the next season.
-
Now, church, I want you to just begin to pray and prophesy right
-
now.
-
Come on.
-
The Lord is knitting your hearts together.
-
Come on.
-
All over this place there's a unity.
-
The Lord is knitting your hearts together.
-
Come on.
-
Every single project.
-
The barrios, the hood, the places, the highways and the byways.
-
We call them forth.
-
We call them forth.
-
Ten thousand souls.
-
We call them forth.
-
Ten thousand souls.
-
God.
-
We ask for the mantle of multiplication to begin to pour down
-
upon this house.
-
God.
-
Oh, Even as Lou Engel was on this stage, God.
-
That there was an impartation.
-
Oh, God.
-
That there would not even be room to contain them, Lord.
-
The mantle of multiplication.
-
The mantle of evangelism.
-
The mantle, God.
-
I hear the Lord Saying the phrase divine disrupt, divine disruption,
-
Divine disruption.
-
I believe the potential for what's happening in this Brooklyn
-
campus could be disruptive.
-
Disruptive?
-
What do I mean by that?
-
We're gonna have to figure out where we meet.
-
We're gonna figure out how we meet.
-
This thing is gonna start disrupting the works of darkness.
-
It's gonna spill out into the streets.
-
The Lord is saying, I want to.
-
Give you the mantle of multiplication, but.
-
It'S gonna take a unity like we've never had before.
-
Church, are you with me?
-
Brooklyn, are you with me?
-
I believe that there's a mantle.
-
I hear the Lord saying that even.
-
As the weather turns, so shall I begin to turn the hinges of the
-
door.
-
And even as the heat increases, so shall I turn up the
-
heat in Brooklyn.
-
And I hear the Lord saying that it will happen and you will
-
have a harvest out of season, says the Lord.
-
For even the summer months, I will begin to do something in this
-
place.
-
Even in the summer months, I will give you a harvest out of season,
-
of season.
-
And as it heats up in Brooklyn, the Lord says, I will turn
-
the heat up in Brooklyn.
-
And even as it increases, so shall you increase, says the Lord.
-
So look to the summer months.
-
Prepare for the summer months.
-
Because I hear the Lord saying, the harvest is here.
-
The harvest is here.
-
The harvest is here, I hear the Lord say.
-
For even during the pandemic, I.
-
I separated them.
-
For even during the pandemic, I sent them out of the city.
-
Even during the pandemic, I sent them to various places.
-
But those who remain are the harvest, says the Lord.
-
Those who are here, those who came, who were not here, are the
-
harvest.
-
And this summer, it's time.
-
Praise God.
-
Praise God.
-
Praise God.
-
Praise God.
-
Praise God.
-
Well, let me just say, like, a little closing prayer on this, because
-
they.
-
They have to do the next segment.
-
I don't even know how to do it, so I gotta pass the baton route
-
in a few moments.
-
Let me just tell you, for those of you who are like, I came
-
to watch my family get baptized.
-
What in the world was that?
-
This is what the church is supposed to be.
-
This is what the church is supposed to be.
-
No more games.
-
No more playing.
-
No more fake friends.
-
No more fake smiles.
-
No more, hey, how you doing?
-
God bless you.
-
No.
-
Hug me, pray for me, prophesy over me.
-
Don't be smiling at me like that.
-
Come over and give me a holy handshake with a $20bill so I can
-
get a chopped cheese after service.
-
Come over and love me.
-
Love me no more fake church up in here.
-
Come on.
-
White, black, Asian, Native American, Indian.
-
Come on.
-
We are a united church.
-
Can I get an amen?
-
That's what makes this house special.
-
Who said it looks like heaven?
-
Amen, man.
-
Girl, you've been.
-
You've been helping me today.
-
Now it needs to sound like heaven.
-
Now it needs to feel like heaven.
-
Amen.
-
Because we're united.
-
Now.
-
Give me my flag back.
-
Come on.
-
Thank you for that.
-
Father, we thank you for what you did in the service.
-
And I know that we got one last little thing to go, but I pray
-
for all the visitors who watch this that they would not feel like
-
outsiders, but that they would feel like insiders.
-
And for everybody who's like, man, I don't know if I fit in all
-
this.
-
Lord, that you would divinely show them.
-
Yeah.
-
You're here for a reason.
-
You came on this Sunday for a reason.
-
And seal it in their hearts, Father, Jesus name, Amen.
