Welcome to the family to get 6 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,080 your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe 7 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,280 some tea, and get ready to receive. 8 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,280 It's go time. Let's get into it. 9 00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:47,730 I got some news for some of you in 2026. 10 00:00:47,730 --> 00:00:50,170 My praise is going to be more radical. 11 00:00:57,170 --> 00:01:03,880 Before Jesus was born, he was written. 12 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:10,040 We called this day for us themed. 13 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,840 He is written a kind of play on words of it is finished and it 14 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,320 is written. But I just thought, no, it isn't 15 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,840 written. He is written. 16 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,120 He was written. The Bible says in the beginning 17 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:38,200 was the word. Christmas is not the beginning 18 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,560 of the story. It's seal. 19 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,720 It's the seal of the story. I'll say it again, Christmas is 20 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,240 not the beginning of the story. They'll put it up. 21 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,320 It is the seal of the story. A lot of people think, oh, a 22 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,600 baby was born, This began something. 23 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,760 No, no, no, no. When Jesus was born, right there 24 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,680 in the Manger was the seal to the story. 25 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,120 Christmas is not a God improv or impromptu. 26 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,520 It's promise executed from the books of Genesis to Malachi. 27 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,000 Scripture is not guessing if a king will come. 28 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,240 From the book of Genesis to Malachi. 29 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,800 Scripture is declaring and decreeing how, when, and why he 30 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,880 must come. The Bible does not present Jesus 31 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,760 as an idea or possibility. It presents him as 32 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,760 inevitability. He is announced as fulfilment. 33 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:59,680 I like to say it like this. He is the full seal meant for 34 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,680 yours and I salvation on earth as it is in heaven. 35 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,240 He is the full seal meant. Yeah, I like that. 36 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,680 I like playing with words. I got the freedom to play with 37 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,520 words. The word was in the beginning 38 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,960 with me. Yeah, I was there. 39 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,680 You was there in the beginning. Go read Genesis, David says in 40 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:36,040 Psalm 40, verse 7. Then said I behold, I come in 41 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,960 the volume of the book. It is written of me. 42 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,840 Watch this. This is not Jesus writing this, 43 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,720 this is David. It's very important you 44 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,840 understand that this is David, a king writing this, because at 45 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,600 this point, Israel in its history, watch this. 46 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,680 The Torah, the law of Moses already has been written. 47 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,840 Understand this and back then Deuteronomy tells us that kings 48 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:19,200 were required somebody shout out required to write for themselves 49 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,800 a copy of the law. Deuteronomy tells us this in 50 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,480 verse 17. It says, and when he sits on his 51 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:35,720 royal throne, he shall write himself a copy of this law in a 52 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:45,600 book out of what is before the Levitical priest Scripture. 53 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:51,160 Watch this Scripture then and now governs identity. 54 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,800 It governs calling, and it governs kingship. 55 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,160 Scripture was not just something, you know how today we 56 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,800 just read it for inspiration. We kind of in some ways put 57 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,960 scripture alongside fortune cookies, right, Right. 58 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,640 Scripture is just another prophet, another rabbi, another 59 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,240 guru, whatever you want to call him. 60 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,200 Another man who was good wrote some stuff and left it behind 61 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,120 for us to guide our lives. There's some of you in here that 62 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,360 take a little bit of here, a little bit from here, a little 63 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,840 bit from there. You'll mix horoscopes, you'll 64 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,560 mix fortune cookies, you'll mix whatever, the comics that you'll 65 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,960 mix whatever. But the word is pure. 66 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Nothing compares to the word. You can't idolize wisdom over 67 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,800 the word. The Word is the Word, and so 68 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,720 Scripture governs identity calling and kingship. 69 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:02,240 So in this day, every king had to write this down. 70 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,600 In God's Kingdom, authority flows from our submission to 71 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,240 what is written. I'm going to say it again. 72 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,520 In God's Kingdom, authority flows to our submission to 73 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,000 what's written. You have no authority beyond 74 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,040 what you're submitted to. So some of you want to cast out 75 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,640 demons and pray for the sick, but you have not submitted to 76 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,120 the Word. And you can't just submit to to 77 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,240 Scripture that benefits you, but you don't submit to the full 78 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,400 counsel of the Word of God. This is why I will go back 79 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,280 again. He says this, he says in the 80 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:51,240 fullness of the book, the full volume of the book, it is 81 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,200 written of me. The king back then did not rule 82 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,800 above the word. Watch this. 83 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,520 The king ruled under the word. You get this. 84 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,480 It's very important for where we're going. 85 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,480 The king did not rule above the word. 86 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,200 The king ruled under the word. So when David says in the volume 87 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:19,640 of the book it is written of me, he is acknowledging that his 88 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,160 life and kingship are submitted to what God watch this has 89 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,000 already written. His life is submitted. 90 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Some people just going to put the title slide back up there 91 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,920 because some people keep waiting for the thing to come up. 92 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,040 You guys are spoiled. Just look for the thing to come 93 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:44,480 up in the volume of the book. David is saying as King I my 94 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:50,200 life and everything about it is submitted to what's written. 95 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,560 Somebody say written, it's already down, it's already said, 96 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,760 it's already established, it's already committed. 97 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,280 It, it, it, it's done. It is written and my life is 98 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,400 submitted to what is written, what is proven Jesus. 99 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,600 Watch this. David submitted his life to what 100 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,520 was written. Jesus fulfilled what was 101 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,520 written. David lived under the scroll. 102 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:29,480 Jesus was the scroll that that phrase volume of the book in 103 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360 Hebrew means. Watch this full scroll. 104 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,559 Complete record, finished manuscript. 105 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,960 Are you following me? This is very important for us to 106 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:47,680 get because this relates to our lives, because we partial 107 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,200 Christian. Well, ain't no such thing here 108 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,800 to tell you. You're fully saved. 109 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,320 Whether you fully obey the word or not, you're fully saved. 110 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,360 Jesus didn't do a partial job. The blood fully saved you. 111 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:11,080 But this word volume of the book means full scroll, complete 112 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:18,120 record the finished manuscript. Hebrews 10/5 through 7. 113 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,960 Watch this. Remember David said it in Psalm. 114 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,080 Watch this we see in Hebrews who says it? 115 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:33,880 Then I said, behold, here I am coming to do your will, oh God, 116 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:40,880 to fulfill what is written of me in the volume of the book. 117 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,960 This whole context, Jesus is actually recorded to repeat what 118 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,520 David wrote. And if Jesus is still finding 119 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,760 himself in the book, submitting himself to what is written, who 120 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:07,200 are we to keep revising based on the times we're in and how we 121 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,960 feel? This is very important. 122 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:23,280 Then I said, behold, here I am, coming to do your will. 123 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,200 In other words, what I've come to do has already been 124 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:36,440 established, what I've come to do has already been done, what 125 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:43,480 I've come to do has already been approved, and my ability to do 126 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:50,920 it has already been proven. But what if I told you what God 127 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,360 has called you to do and created you to do has been approved and 128 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,600 proven already? So why are you spending your 129 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:06,360 time on all these conferences trying to find purpose, but you 130 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:13,160 celebrating Christmas? Bible says before I formed you 131 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,320 in your mama's womb, I knew you. You was approved. 132 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,080 Shouldn't you be trying to figure out what you was approved 133 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,240 for, Right. You can't just go to the to the 134 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,440 to the car lot and say I was approved. 135 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,640 You can't go to buy a house and say I was approved. 136 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,480 They need to know what you was approved. 137 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:41,440 What for? I don't, I don't need to just 138 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,040 know what I was made for. I need to know what I was 139 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,240 approved for. Am I talking to a few people on 140 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,160 this Sunday before Christmas? Watch this. 141 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,680 This means that David spoke it partially, Jesus fulfilled it 142 00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:07,640 completely. David spoke it partially, Jesus 143 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:14,720 fulfilled it completely. David aligned, but Jesus 144 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:21,880 embodied. Jesus was the scroll David was 145 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:28,760 submitted under. Jesus wasn't sent to see what 146 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:35,920 would happen, but Jesus was sent to fulfill what was already 147 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,200 written. This is very important. 148 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:48,800 His birth was fulfillment. Now figuring that out, No, no, 149 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:57,200 no, somebody say fulfillment. Your life is meant to fulfill a 150 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,920 written word. So I need to discover the word 151 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:09,280 written for me. And your, your, your, your 152 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,400 favorite influencer might not have the word written for you. 153 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,880 Jesus was the binding of the book. 154 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,440 You, you got a book in it and the pages start falling out and 155 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,880 you try your best to, to, to to keep them on. 156 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,880 What I gave somebody one of my old Bibles like, like I toe that 157 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,600 Bible up. That's good news when you tear 158 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,680 the Bible up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 159 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960 And they were going to get a rebound for me, but it was 160 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,160 missing some scriptures in there. 161 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,440 Somebody say it was missing some scriptures. 162 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,880 Now the good thing is the scriptures that was missing 163 00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:00,560 wasn't missing out of me because the Holy Spirit bound them to my 164 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:04,560 soul right? The word got bound to my mind. 165 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:12,520 OK, but but but it but but Jesus was the binding of the book in 166 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,760 scripture to write is to establish covenant. 167 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,960 I don't know what you write for, but whenever God wrote 168 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,160 something, it was to establish covenant, which mean whatever he 169 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:35,000 wrote is mines. If I can find it in the book, 170 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,400 it's mines. If I can find that I've been 171 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:44,080 healed, it's mines. If I can find poverty has been 172 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,360 broken, it's mines. If I can find that the devil do 173 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,840 not have a legal right to continue to bring hell in my 174 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,160 life, guess what? Victory is mine. 175 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,760 Somebody say it's mine. Somebody say it's mines. 176 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,560 To write is to guarantee fulfillment. 177 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,400 To to write is to guarantee fulfillment. 178 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,440 What was recorded in ink was sealed in flesh. 179 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:29,400 What was recorded in ink was fulfilled in flesh. 180 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,560 Watch this. God does not write 181 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:37,440 possibilities. God writes promises, right? 182 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680 A lot of people out here, they want to marry, they want to 183 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,440 date, they want to work, they want to start potential. 184 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,600 Yeah, yeah. Find promise before you start 185 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:56,160 serving somebody else's potential, right? 186 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,800 Two people with potential, if they haven't found promise, 187 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,720 guess what? You're going to have potential, 188 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,840 potential plus potential mean potential. 189 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,960 God does not write possibilities. 190 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,760 God writes promises. Watch this. 191 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,520 God does not write intentions.

God does not write intentions. 201 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:54,080 Intention is not covenant, right? 202 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,760 Intention is engagement, not marriage. 203 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,160 Why don't you start? Just because you put a ring on 204 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,440 my finger, do not start acting a fool. 205 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:06,359 Come on, put this in your rule book, ladies. 206 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,920 Just because you put a ring on my finger does not mean you got 207 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,960 to stop dating me or opening the door for me and being kind to 208 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,359 me.

Somebody say praise God. 240 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:39,040 He didn't revise the promise. He does not delay it, nor does 241 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600 he forget it.

No, God writes it. 246 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,840 Once it's finished, it's over. He wrote, you're healed by his 247 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,280 stripes. It's over. 248 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,040 You are, you are blessed coming in, blessed coming out. 249 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,800 Guess what, it's over.

Because it's written. 252 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,640 Watch what Isaiah says. The grass Withers, the flower 253 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:21,040 fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. 254 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,760 Somebody say forever. Ever. 255 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,960 Yeah, forever. Ever, forever. 256 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,600 Ever. Come on. 257 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,560 Somebody say forever. The grass Withers, the flower 258 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,560 fades, but the word of God will stand forever. 259 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,000 Watch this. It didn't just say last forever. 260 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,640 It's it'll stand forever, right? I don't care what storm comes 261 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,800 through the city. The word's still going to be 262 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,680 standing. That's why I put that oak tree 263 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,800 up right? It it don't matter how the wind 264 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,800 blow.

The word will never be uprooted. 267 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:03,880 He can't change his mind about your healing. 268 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,560 So so watch this. The good news. 269 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,160 If your life does not look like what he said, it means it ain't 270 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:16,400 over. Somebody say it's not over. 271 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:25,960 So the birth of Jesus was not heaven's emotional reaction to 272 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,560 humanity's sin and chaos. Like, like man didn't just start 273 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:36,440 acting a fool and God was like, oh right, didn't go how it 274 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,040 intended. Hear what I'm telling you? 275 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,440 God wasn't saying it didn't go how it intended. 276 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:54,800 So, so, so, so, so, so when sin broke out, when Adam and Eve 277 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:01,440 fell, when humanity fell, and then when Jesus came, God was 278 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,880 not responding to sin like it caught him off guard. 279 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,840 I'm here to tell somebody, I'm not trying to give you a sin 280 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,120 free pass. I'm trying to give you a grace 281 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:18,080 free pass that that that your sin has not caught God off guard 282 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,640 where you are has not caught God off guard. 283 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,160 Watch this So the birth of Jesus was not heaven having an 284 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,720 emotional reaction to humanity's sin and chaos. 285 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,120 It was God reminding us that everything I said, I'm still 286 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:45,240 standing on it. Watch this. 287 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,720 Jesus's birth was God saying everything I've said. 288 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:56,880 I'm standing on it. He was not responding to man's 289 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:05,440 sin when Jesus was born, he said. 290 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,000 I'm reminding you that everything, everything that I 291 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,080 said, all the books of the prophets, whole Old Testament 292 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,680 was pointing to this day.

It ain't changing. 372 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,360 You notice how many times you question God, the word you, when 373 00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,240 you open your Bible back up, it was still there. 374 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,280 Did somebody say it's still there? 375 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:01,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Manger is not some cute 376 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,720 nursery moment or illustration. Watch this. 377 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:12,240 The Manger is a legal moment. Christmas, you can picture it as 378 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,600 a courtroom. The Manger scene. 379 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:23,880 It's a legal moment. It's a stamped moment. 380 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,520 It's a moment of certification. It is God stepping into humanity 381 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,640 or human history and saying I am not sending another prophet. 382 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,960 I am not extending another warning. 383 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,280 I am not delaying my promise. I am not postponing my promise. 384 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,120 I am not revising my word. Watch this. 385 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,480 I am putting my word into flesh. I am stepping in myself. 386 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,480 I am stepping in myself. So when the Word stepped into 387 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:05,960 flesh and pitched his tent among us, 4 promises moved from 388 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,480 prophecy to possession. How many promises? 389 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:19,000 44 Promises went from prophecy to possession. 390 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,680 Number one was the promise of presence sealed. 391 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:33,360 It went from God with us to God within us, God with us to God 392 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,120 within us #2 the promise of redemption. 393 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,680 Salvation became inevitable sealed. 394 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,720 Redemption sealed. When Jesus was born, redemption 395 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:55,160 was sealed. And thirdly, the promise of 396 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,280 authority. Watch this. 397 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:06,360 Adam and Eve lost the keys. Jesus came to give us keys back. 398 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,440 That's a whole nother topic we've preached on it. 399 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:18,480 The Kingdom, the promise of authority, the Kingdom entered 400 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,040 the earth. We know, we know, we know, John, 401 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,360 repent. For the Kingdom of heaven is at 402 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,240 hand. And then #4 the promise of 403 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:40,240 you'll get it at the end #1 the promise of presence. 404 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,360 Isaiah 714 says it this way. Therefore the Lord Himself shall 405 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:51,360 give you a sign. Behold, the young woman who is 406 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:58,640 unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and 407 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,320 shall call his name Emmanuel. I think we were singing that 408 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,720 name earlier, Emmanuel. It went like that. 409 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,400 God with us. That's our song too, Amen. 410 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,480 That's our song too. We make good songs here at Love 411 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,000 Quest. His name, Emmanuel. 412 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,760 Somebody say God with us. Somebody say God with us, 413 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:28,920 Somebody say God within us. John 114 says And the Word 414 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:37,080 became flesh, human, Incarnate, and tabernacled, fixed his tent 415 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,320 of flesh, lived a while among us. 416 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,800 Somebody say among us, the first promise is the promise of 417 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,080 presence. When Jesus was born, not when he 418 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:56,960 died, not when he rose, when he was born, the promise of 419 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:04,000 presence was sealed. Before Jesus, God visited with 420 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,720 Jesus, God moved in. God moved in. 421 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:14,400 God moved in before Jesus. God visited all the way up to 422 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:20,560 Malachi. Jesus comes on the scene no 423 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,720 longer. God visited. 424 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:33,280 God moved in. God did not send help, He came 425 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,520 himself. That's that's deep right there. 426 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,720 He didn't send help, He came himself. 427 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,840 Watch this. Watch this for all the 428 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:47,200 insecurity in the room. Who are you that God would come 429 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,320 himself for you? Make make sure this is the last 430 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:59,600 year you sell yourself cheap. Watch this some of y'all, y'all 431 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,840 date and Mary down Hallelujah. Speak the truth pastor. 432 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,040 Speak the truth pastor. You date and Mary down because 433 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,120 that's where you always looking at yourself. 434 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:17,400 Hallelujah. I didn't come for all that on 435 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,600 Christmas. It's not Christmas, it's the 436 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:26,160 Sunday before Christmas. God did not send help, He came 437 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,760 himself. Emmanuel is not potential, He is 438 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:36,720 proximity. He's not a potential Savior. 439 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:45,680 He is Savior with us. Presence was sealed at the birth 440 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,400 of Jesus. Here's how crazy presence is. 441 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,640 Mary walks in the room and her little barren womb, little baby 442 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,000 John leaves because presence returned to earth. 443 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,280 Watch this. John did not leap because an 444 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,400 Angel walked in the room. He leaped because the Savior 445 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:09,400 walked in the room. That's how powerful presence is. 446 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,600 Hebrews 13 Watch this. For he God himself has said, I 447 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,000 will not in any way fail you, nor give you up, nor leave you 448 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,920 without support. I like this part. 449 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,199 I will not, I will not, I will not. 450 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,000 I didn't even add those. I will not. 451 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,800 It is written, I will not, I will not, I will not in any 452 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,520 degree leave you helpless. Have you ever felt helpless? 453 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,920 Feeling helpless and being helpless is two different 454 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,800 things. It's OK to feel helpless 455 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,080 sometime, but I want to hear, I want to tell you today, you are 456 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,480 not helpless. There's no situation you will 457 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,719 ever face that help is not present. 458 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,320 Watch this. Help is not coming. 459 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:05,640 Help is present in any degree. Leave you helpless, nor forsake, 460 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,920 nor let you down. Relax my hold on you. 461 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:21,680 Assuredly not. Hallelujah #2 the promise of 462 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,920 redemption. Salvation became inevitable. 463 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,680 Matthew once said she will bear a son, and you shall call his 464 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,080 name Jesus. The Greek form of the Hebrew 465 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:42,640 Joshua, which means Savior for he will save his people from 466 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:48,800 their sins, that is prevent them from failing and missing the 467 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,960 true end and scope of life, which is God. 468 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,280 Sounds like a simple purpose right there. 469 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,840 What's my purpose? Worship God. 470 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,440 Why? Why do I worship him? 471 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,760 Because his presence, He inhabits the praise of his 472 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,920 people. Watch this. 473 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,440 The cross enforced what heaven had already decided. 474 00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:28,200 The cross enforced what heaven already decided before the found 475 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,560 date. This is very important. 476 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:36,160 The cross enforced What we're about to see is some of you guys 477 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,960 first times ever seeing this. The cross enforced what heaven 478 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:47,520 already decided. I love God in his word. 479 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:54,360 Revelations 13. All inhabitants of the earth 480 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,160 will worship the beast, all whose names have not been 481 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,200 written in the Lamb's book of life. 482 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:08,000 The Lamb who was slain from the creation or the foundation of 483 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,640 the world. Oh, so you mean that good day on 484 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:16,080 Calvary was fulfillment of the word? 485 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,600 Wait a minute, before the foundations of the earth a lamb 486 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,640 was slain. Not on Easter. 487 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,760 Yeah, that quiet you thought. Let's go back to the saving. 488 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,360 You thought your Adam and Eve falling. 489 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,240 You thought that God was responding because he didn't 490 00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:54,120 plan for that. God didn't plan for saving us 491 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,720 because he knew what he put in US. 492 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,720 So you didn't know. Before you even stepped into 493 00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:06,200 your sin, a lamb was slain. Before you was even born, a lamb 494 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,760 was slain. Before the foundations of the 495 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,440 world, a lamb was slain. Oh so you mean God went to the 496 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,240 end and then said, let's come back to the beginning. 497 00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:20,480 I'm going to let y'all walk through my finished work. 498 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,040 This is why trying to live outside of what God has already 499 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,720 written is is absolutely really sad insanity. 500 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,080 Because God has finished your life. 501 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,000 You're trying to find your life outside of the finished work. 502 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:45,880 Why would any fool start over? Right? 503 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,360 Your sin makes you think you got to start from scratch. 504 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:56,840 No, you just got to get back in alignment right there. 505 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,920 That's in the Bible. You can go home, look at it in 506 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,720 all translations. You can look at it in your 507 00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:02,880 phone. You can go, you go wherever you 508 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,080 want in the world. Find a Bible hotels wherever you 509 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,560 want to go and look at Revelations 13 and it's going to 510 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,080 tell you the Lamb who was slain from the creation, the 511 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:22,760 foundation of the world. So when Jesus comes, he's the 512 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:29,280 Lamb that was slain. He's just fulfilling the written 513 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,000 word. So This is why you are free from 514 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,480 condemnation. Before you could even ever feel 515 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,520 guilt, Price was paid. What? 516 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,560 What your sin was considered before you sinned. 517 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,680 It's like a good parent, a kid about to go on a trip and it's 518 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,880 like I'm a, I'm a hide some little, some extra little 519 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,520 goodies in the bag because I know they're going to call and 520 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,400 ask for some, some goodies because they're going to eat 521 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,160 their goodies too fast. They go, mom, can you send me 522 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,320 some money? You're going to say, baby, I 523 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,080 packed you some extra goodies at the bottom of the bag over in 524 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,800 the corner because I knew you was going to need it. 525 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,920 I knew you was going to eat your food too fast. 526 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,720 I gave you 3 days worth of food. You ate it all in one day. 527 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,160 That's why I packed some extra goodies. 528 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,400 That's, that's a, that's a good father, that's a good mother. 529 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,760 They know their kids and the Lord knew from the foundation. 530 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,400 So, so watch this when Jesus says it's finished, watch this. 531 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:37,680 And when God rest on the 7th day, why was everything good? 532 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,040 Watch this. Why was everything very good? 533 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,480 Because nothing could be messed up. 534 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,400 Not just because it looked good. Then it got ugly. 535 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,160 Then he like, oh, crap, I got to cover. 536 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,080 I got to put some makeup on. Oh, they got a black eye. 537 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,560 I got to put some shades on. No, no, no, no. 538 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,760 It was very good. Because it couldn't be messed 539 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,840 up. Somebody in here got to get 540 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,640 this. You can't mess it up. 541 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,240 Watch this. You cannot experience it, but 542 00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:13,880 you can't mess it up. You ain't that powerful nor is 543 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,840 your sin. Watch this. 544 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,640 So Christmas ain't about a beginning. 545 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,880 Christmas is a day of fulfillment. 546 00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:33,350 Then the world say we're going to celebrate Christmas 1st and 547 00:41:33,350 --> 00:41:35,550 we're going to put everything on sale. 548 00:41:35,550 --> 00:41:38,870 Kind of not. It's just going to be lower than 549 00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:42,030 what we told you what we sold it to you at first, but we still 550 00:41:42,030 --> 00:41:47,120 making profit off of the sale And then and then we going to do 551 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,280 Easter and that's the order. You remember Jesus. 552 00:41:57,530 --> 00:41:59,850 So then we got to do all this extra stuff for people for 553 00:41:59,850 --> 00:42:04,490 Christmas, but we still walk out of here not knowing that 554 00:42:04,490 --> 00:42:07,290 Christmas really ain't about a baby. 555 00:42:08,450 --> 00:42:10,850 It's about a savior. Watch this. 556 00:42:10,930 --> 00:42:16,010 He was savior in Mary's womb. He wasn't savior on the cross. 557 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,760 That's why he said it's finished. 558 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:29,520 I came to fulfill before Mary held the promise. 559 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,920 Heaven had already weighed the cost. 560 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,160 Before Mary had a crib, Jesus had a cross. 561 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,760 What you talking about, PT?

Before Mary had a crib, Jesus 566 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:07,000 had a cross. Watch it. 567 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,320 The blood of Jesus wasn't God reacting to sin, it was God's 568 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,560 original intent to seal his love. 569 00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:20,440 Premeditated sacrifice is coming. 570 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:26,720 Premeditated sacrifice. Premeditated sacrifice. 571 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,720 Pre planned predestined sacrifice. 572 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,520 So this doesn't give you a license to go up. 573 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,960 Well, since he already knew, let me go on here and act a fool. 574 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,560 No, no, no, no, no. This, this. 575 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,440 This is to cause you to fall in love with him, not to act a 576 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,640 fool. This is not. 577 00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:47,080 This is where you don't take grace in vain. 578 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,600 Redemption made its first move before the foundations of the 579 00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:01,320 world took its first breath in Bethlehem and it's last breath 580 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,000 on Calgary Calvary. Watch this, Watch this. 581 00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:10,160 Redemption made its first move before the foundations of the 582 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,720 world. Redemption took its first breath 583 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:20,640 in Bethlehem and Redemption took his last breath on Calvary. 584 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,360 Mary carried the beginning and the end. 585 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,200 I love the Bible.

Although a lamb was kicking in 590 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:55,480 her belly, he was only coming out of the womb to fulfill what 591 00:44:55,480 --> 00:45:01,040 was written so naturally.

He came with authority and 735 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,520 conferred it. His reign commissions us, and 736 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:09,040 yet we didn't earn it. The crown that he wears 737 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:14,200 establishes we heirs, and the ground that we walk on is a 738 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,400 grace that we share. How do I know? 739 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,800 Colossians 2 says, and God disarmed. 740 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,600 That's where some people would shout. 741 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,560 God disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged 742 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,360 against us. Some of y'all walking around 743 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,960 gonna walk out of here with your hands behind your back to the 744 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,760 lies of the enemy and the scripture right here. 745 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,320 I could take this to the bank. God disarmed. 746 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,160 So. So you mean that if God disarmed 747 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,400 whatever's been holding me, I can unlock my arms and walk in 748 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:53,480 freedom? God disarmed the principalities 749 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,240 and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold 750 00:55:57,240 --> 00:56:01,600 display and public example of them in triumphing over them. 751 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:07,480 In him and in it the cross, right, Right. 752 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:12,080 Say, in him, his life, in him, and in it the cross. 753 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,200 In him, and in it the cross. So we're not even talking about 754 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,480 the triumph didn't just come at the cross, it came in Him. 755 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:32,120 The authority was sealed. I pray in Jesus name that in 756 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,080 2026 you walk in greater authorities first starting over 757 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:39,040 your life, that you stop being so feeble minded and weak minded 758 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,640 and believing lives and wave lies and wavering, being tossed 759 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,560 to and fro and any little thing easily offended, easy to quit. 760 00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:48,520 No, no, no. Take authority over your life. 761 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,720 Why? Because authority has been 762 00:56:49,720 --> 00:56:51,400 sealed. Authority is not coming. 763 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:56,040 It has been sealed. So now presence is sealed. 764 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,440 Yeah. Redemption is sealed. 765 00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:03,160 Yep. And now authority is sealed. 766 00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:07,520 Yeah, and because presence is sealed, redemption is sealed, 767 00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:11,160 and authority is sealed. Now you can settle down. 768 00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:16,040 Because when the king establishes his rule, peace is 769 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,960 not optional, it's inevitable. Come on. 770 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,880 Can somebody say that with me? Peace is not optional, it's 771 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,000 inevitable. Come on, tell your neighbor. 772 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,800 Peace is not optional, it's inevitable. 773 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,600 Watch this. The angels didn't wait until the 774 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,600 cross to announce peace. They declared it at the crib. 775 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,720 They declared it at the crib, right? 776 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,520 Wait, wait, wait. We put so praise God for the 777 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:54,720 cross, but we don't realize the cross was the doorway to the 778 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,600 Holy Ghost. Watch this the angels didn't 779 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,560 wait until the cross to announce peace. 780 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:08,200 They declared it at the crib. And that's why. 781 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:14,200 What's this number four? It's the promise Peace. 782 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,080 We're back to what we started 3 weeks ago. 783 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:23,360 Peace is the crowning stone of the Kingdom. 784 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,880 Peace is merely, it's not merely our inheritance, but also it's 785 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,760 our legal reality. Peace, our peace is a legal 786 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,000 reality. We actually have a right to this 787 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:42,240 piece now, close with it, with this. 788 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:49,920 We're going to pick up on Peace Christmas Eve #4 watch this. 789 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:57,960 Then suddenly there appeared with the Angel and army of the 790 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:06,640 troops of heaven a heavenly knighthood, praising God and 791 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:13,480 saying glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among 792 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,680 men. Watch, watch this, this is this 793 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:19,240 is at the crib. This is an announcement at the 794 00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:23,040 crib. This is not an announcement at 795 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,520 the cross. And because God announces it, 796 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,000 the availability and the inevitability is right there at 797 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:36,320 the crib. And that's why these fools that 798 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,320 crucified Jesus didn't even understand. 799 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:52,440 They crucified their peace, for He himself is our peace in our 800 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,760 bond of unity. We'll leave you with this one. 801 00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:00,560 The angels do not say. Peace will come after 802 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:05,760 transformation, after systems improve. 803 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:11,160 Peace will come after the Roman Empire collapses. 804 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:17,600 No, in the presence of my enemies, peace is there. 805 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:23,560 In the presence of my most anxious moments, peace is there. 806 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:29,520 The angels announce peace is here, not peace is coming. 807 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,920 We got on the airplane the other day, my wife and I, I think it 808 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:41,880 was for the first time ever, pilot came on the speaker. 809 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,800 I always assume it's going to be turbulence. 810 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,600 I'm just going to assume that. But this time he told me. 811 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,320 He said, yeah, we're going to go up. 812 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,000 There's just some rough winds and we're going to go up. 813 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,720 It's going to be some rough turbulence tonight. 814 01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:01,480 And I said in the name of Jesus, what's this? 815 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,440 I pray every time, my wife, only you, you pray. 816 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,440 And I pray a very specific prayer. 817 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,360 Lord, I thank you in the name of Jesus that you have dispatched 818 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,760 your ministering angels. Watch this specific to the left 819 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,840 wing, the right wing, the nose of the plane, the tail of the 820 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,400 plane, the belly of the plane, the spine of the plane, in the 821 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,400 cockpit, and in every row in every aisle. 822 01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:28,360 I declare this plane will not go off the ground until you have 823 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:33,200 deemed it safe to go in the air. If it goes in the air, I trust 824 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,520 that you've already approved its safety. 825 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,640 I declare in the name of Jesus that you split the red seas of 826 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,840 the sky, and I declare we are safe. 827 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,720 Your servants will go from this city to that city. 828 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:51,680 So we declare safe ascension, safe dissension in the name of 829 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:56,600 Jesus, and we get off the plane over here. 830 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,960 This guy. That was smoother than last 831 01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:03,440 night, huh? I looked at my wife. 832 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,320 We said, yeah, because we was on the plane. 833 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,920 Watch this. Wherever we go, we bring angels. 834 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,280 That's, that's the authority that we have. 835 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:20,520 Yeah, not tonight. And and and then and then we, 836 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,520 we, we come back and he don't warn us. 837 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,280 And then it's turbulence like crazy. 838 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,920 The other guy warned us. We came against it. 839 01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:42,280 This guy didn't warn us. It was cover Lance, but my, my, 840 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:43,520 it didn't shift. Right. 841 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:48,280 Because this revelation of peace is made for the turbulence, 842 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,360 right? Some folks can't fly without 843 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:57,400 having a drink. Man, you better sip that Shalom. 844 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,840 And for all you drinkers, if there's a drink out there called 845 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,080 Shalom, I'm not giving you a permission to drink Shalom, OK? 846 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,120 I'm talking about the peace of God that transcends all 847 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:13,920 understanding. I declare, lift your hands. 848 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,000 Christmas is not God giving us one promise. 849 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,680 It is God keeping many at once. And so, Father, in the name of 850 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:29,320 Jesus, come on today we do not come asking if you'll keep your 851 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,040 word. We come standing on the fact 852 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,680 that you already have kept your word. 853 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:38,320 Come on, open your mouth. You are not a God who's cleaning 854 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,240 up mistakes. You are not improvising. 855 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:45,400 You are not a God who retracts. You are not a God who forgets. 856 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:50,240 You are the God who writes and then steps into time to fulfill 857 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,720 what you wrote. And today we stand before you 858 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:58,840 under an open heaven and an open declaration and we declare, come 859 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,760 on, it is written. He is written. 860 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,680 Jesus, we acknowledge you as the word made flesh, the promise 861 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,800 embodied, the yes of heaven walking on earth. 862 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:14,680 We thank you, Jesus, that when you were born, distance ended, 863 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:20,600 rescue began, authority shifted, and peace was established. 864 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:25,680 We thank you that Christmas is not nostalgia, it is covenant in 865 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:30,440 the name of Jesus, so we now decree, because you were born, 866 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:35,360 We are not abandoned, we are not unseen, we are not walking 867 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:39,400 alone. We declare Emmanuel over every 868 01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:45,160 home, over every mind, over every season of isolation and 869 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,200 silence. Let every lie of distance be 870 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,760 broken. Let every orphan spirit be 871 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,760 displaced. Father, you are with us, and you 872 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,120 will never believe us nor forsake us. 873 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,520 And we decree in the mighty name of Jesus because the Savior was 874 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,760 born. Bondage has an expiration date. 875 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:13,080 We declare freedom over cycles that outlive their authority, we 876 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:18,400 declare forgiveness over shame that overstayed its welcome, and 877 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:22,400 we declare deliverance over patterns That said, this is just 878 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,600 how it is. No, no, no, no, no, no. 879 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,760 We come against it. What sin started Grace is 880 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:33,360 finishing. What hell planned redemption is. 881 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,560 Reversing salvation is not pending. 882 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,360 Salvation is active. Come on, Saints. 883 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:44,120 Come on, Saints. And now we decree because the 884 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,920 government rests on your shoulders, Jesus, Every 885 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:53,000 illegitimate authority must move now in the name of Jesus. 886 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,280 We speak to fear. You no longer rule. 887 01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,880 We speak to darkness. Your lease is up. 888 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:04,320 We speak to confusion. Your voice is revoked. 889 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:11,200 We declare that the Kingdom of God has jurisdiction in our 890 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:17,680 lives, in our families, in our city, and in this house called 891 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:21,920 Love Quest. Another king is on the throne, 892 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,720 and his name is Jesus. So Father, seal this word. 893 01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,960 Let what what was written in heaven be enforced on earth. 894 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:35,120 Let every promise connected to Christ find agreement in US, and 895 01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:39,800 as we leave this place, we do not leave wondering, we leave 896 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:43,360 knowing. If you kept these promises, you 897 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,280 will keep every other one. So we declare. 898 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:53,240 It is written, it is sealed, it is settled when we declare. 899 01:06:53,600 --> 01:07:00,120 Presence is mind, Redemption is mind, authority is minds, peace 900 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,360 is minds. If you truly believe that, give 901 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:14,360 God a big old shout about it. Hallelujah. 902 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:18,640 Lift your hands right where you are and take 60 seconds and pray 903 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:23,480 your own prayer. Pray the word of God with the 904 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:28,520 authority of Jesus. We break the bondage of anxiety. 905 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:33,000 If that's you, put those words of authority over in your mouth. 906 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,240 Speak what the Word says. If you're dealing with sickness, 907 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,120 the Word says by his stripes, I am the healed and not the sick. 908 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,760 I am not just healed, I am the healed. 909 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:57,360 Come on, 30 more seconds. Take authority over your family. 910 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,760 Take authority over your finances. 911 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,800 Come on. End this year with authority. 912 01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,120 End this year knowing your rights. 913 01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:28,399 Come on, 10 more seconds.
