00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,480
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
the Love Quest International 

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,600
Church podcast, where we seek to
love all nations, equip the 

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,560
church, mobilize the equipped, 
and serve all. 

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,080
We're super glad you're joining 
us from whenever and wherever 

5
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,760
you're at in the world. 
Welcome to the family to get 

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,440
your Bibles ready, get some 
water, get some coffee, maybe 

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,680
some tea, and get ready to 
receive. 

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:40,160
Let's get into it. 
Amen, Amen. 

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,720
For those that are here and 
those that are are tuned in at 

10
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,520
home, it just hit me like a ton 
of bricks. 

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,320
I was sitting in the back, there
was a few of us in the back. 

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,800
Just literally within the last 
10 minutes hit me like a ton of 

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,960
bricks. 
And I said, I've never seen it 

14
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:11,280
this way, but I said, or spirit 
said that warfare is harder for 

15
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,400
us today than it was for Paul. 
And you'd be like, whoa, how was

16
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,200
that? 
He, they like they, they, they, 

17
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,920
they, they were getting 
persecuted. 

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,440
They was getting heads cut off. 
They was, but all they had was 

19
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:32,760
their community. 
They worked to provide and they 

20
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,080
had ministry. 
You know why it's harder for us?

21
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:43,200
We are so distracted. 
And it kind of hit me as I was 

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,400
studying. 
I was like, whoa, there are men 

23
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,440
and women of God all over this 
world that are called to prepare

24
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,760
a word for people that aren't 
even hungry for it. 

25
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960
It literally almost scared me. 
I can't, I was looking. 

26
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,160
I was just like, no, you know, 
sometimes your emotion, you're 

27
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,400
like, where did that come from? 
No, maybe I'm just being I'm 

28
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,120
tripping. 
And I was like, whoa, those guys

29
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,000
actually was focused on training
and he how do you get the 

30
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
revelation that these get? 
How do you get the revelation 

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,200
that you get? 
How do you get a revelation that

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,280
is like God said no, we going to
take this revelation and give it

33
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,400
until Jesus return. 
How do you get eternal 

34
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,440
revelation? 
How do you get a revelation to 

35
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,160
write a book that is for letters
that apply to every generation 

36
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,640
that will ever walk this earth 
that comes from a deep well man,

37
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,360
I was like we are distracted. 
You think of how much stuff you 

38
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,480
went through today mentally just
to get here to hear a word for a

39
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,400
few minutes. 
Just think of how many times or 

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,880
think of how many people wanted 
to come tonight but let 

41
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:02,440
something get in the way We are.
I got to go home and deal with 

42
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,280
this because I'm like, whoa, 
this is a scary issue because if

43
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,840
the church is a body that's put 
in the earth to intercede for 

44
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,280
the world and we're distracted, 
then when we see King Jesus, 

45
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,240
what will that conversation be? 
Will it be well done? 

46
00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:31,750
I was like, whoa, we need to 
pray for pastors and leaders and

47
00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:34,070
teachers and those that have 
said yes to the call. 

48
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:38,630
Because here's what I understand
is these evangelists and these 

49
00:03:38,790 --> 00:03:42,310
pastors and teachers, when they 
look out into that audience, 

50
00:03:42,310 --> 00:03:47,830
Elder John, they have to, they 
have to fight through so much to

51
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:59,400
hopefully land a word. 
We're we're a body that is eaten

52
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,720
against itself. 
We can't even see when the enemy

53
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,640
pluck us up out of a church we 
call to. 

54
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,720
And what should scare us is what
is the next generation going to 

55
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,600
be left with if we're as 
distracted as we are now? 

56
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,520
There's parts of the world that 
are dialed in in focus, but 

57
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,600
unfortunately some of the places
that are the most hungry for 

58
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:41,660
God, they don't got nothing. 
And Elder Brett back in the day,

59
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:45,860
you didn't need a flyer in 
Instagram to to to try to compel

60
00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:51,740
people to get to church. 
Folks were looking for where was

61
00:04:51,740 --> 00:04:56,100
the church open like Wednesday 
nights or Thursday night or 

62
00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,660
midweek or a a Sunday was full 
every service all day. 

63
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120
We triple dipped, really 
quadrupled dipped because we 

64
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,360
went to Sunday school and then 
some people would say, man, 

65
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,440
that's that. 
But that's that's back then. 

66
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:24,580
Same God, same mission. 
For those that did fight to get 

67
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:28,460
here, kudos to you. 
What I will not do for a 

68
00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:33,660
generation who prefers to stay 
home is to act like staying home

69
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:37,040
is as equal of option than being
here. 

70
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,680
It's not the same. 
It's not the same. 

71
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,680
You go ahead and be married via 
FaceTime for 20 years and see 

72
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,000
how your marriage work. 
Don't, don't come, don't. 

73
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,840
Do not fight, do, do not accept 
like there is a war against 

74
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:59,840
getting in the House of God. 
So when we get in the House of 

75
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,760
God, do you understand the 
miracle? 

76
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Do you know how many people got 
shot down, not literally but 

77
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,280
spiritually and did not make it 
to the House of God? 

78
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:18,200
The Bible tells us to make sure 
we gather together even more so 

79
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,520
in the last days. 
And so may we have ears to hear 

80
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,400
tonight and eyes to see. 
Lord God in this distracted 

81
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,640
time. 
May we stay focused, not be 

82
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,800
weary and well doing, but also 
Father for the leaders. 

83
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,840
May preaching Jesus be enough. 
May we not be a church that get 

84
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:44,880
caught up in the acrobats and 
the trickery and the 

85
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,240
manipulation of marketing to get
people in the house. 

86
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,280
But Lord, if your word don't 
draw the people, Lord, they 

87
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:57,000
ain't meant to get drawn. 
If your anointing does not draw 

88
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,680
the people, they are not meant 
to be drawn. 

89
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,760
And Lord, we repent as leaders 
on behalf of the church. 

90
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Lord, where we've just busy has 
become the enemy's most 

91
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:23,720
effective weapon. 
We repent, Lord, may there be a 

92
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,720
remnant of people that are 
willing to go go deep, that deep

93
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,080
well of hunger and fervor. 
Because Lord, we truly do need 

94
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,040
you. 
Families need you. 

95
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Mental health is breaking out 
like never before. 

96
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,800
And here we are, the people with
the answer distracted. 

97
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,360
Lord, we repent. 
Lord, raise up some anointed men

98
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,080
and women in this last hour that
is serious about your call, that

99
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,960
is not wavering, being tossed to
and fro. 

100
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Lord, give me some of that Old 
time religion in a new 

101
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,680
generation. 
Old time fervor, old time 

102
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,520
intercession, old time 
faithfulness, all time 

103
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,440
surrender, old time generosity, 
old time faith. 

104
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,680
Lord God, raise up a generation 
that is serious about your your 

105
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:34,720
call, serious about your word, 
serious about prayer, serious 

106
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,640
about worship, serious about 
gathering, serious about 

107
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,799
contending, serious about 
interceding. 

108
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:53,890
Lord, raise up a people. 
Raise up a people, Lord, God, 

109
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:57,850
and those that are serious. 
Be not weary and well doing. 

110
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,800
Be not discouraged when you're 
not accepted. 

111
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,760
You are the remnant. 
You stand down, you are 

112
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:12,440
preserved, you are set apart. 
Be encouraged, be encouraged. 

113
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,880
You're different for a reason. 
You're not called to blend in. 

114
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:31,900
It's a narrow gate. 
Press on our hearts, Lord. 

115
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,360
Break our heart for what breaks 
yours. 

116
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,960
We get to worship. 
We get to write songs, Lord. 

117
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,440
You write songs through US. 
You. 

118
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,840
You deliver songs through US. 
That's the river of living water

119
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,320
flowing through US. 
Forgive us for arrogance, Lord 

120
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280
God. 
Forgive us for making gathering 

121
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,800
an option and not a necessity, 
Lord, it's a call together. 

122
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,280
It's a it's a privilege to 
gather. 

123
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,360
It's a privilege to sit at your 
feet and get a word. 

124
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,360
Lord, thank you for sending men 
and women who will go before you

125
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,160
to get a word from heaven that 
will save our family's lives. 

126
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:18,760
Thank you, Lord, thank you, 
Lord, forgive us for taking your

127
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:26,160
servants for granted. 
It's so easy to take your 

128
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,680
servants for granted because all
we got to do is get on YouTube 

129
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,240
and there's thousands of words, 
there's thousands of pastors to 

130
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,240
follow. 
It ain't even a buffet. 

131
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,520
I don't even know what to call 
it. 

132
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,800
But we're so arrogant. 
We get to choose. 

133
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,560
When God chose a man and a woman
for us. 

134
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:49,840
He he sends men and women after 
his own heart. 

135
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,360
And now, Lord, we get to choose.
We are consumers. 

136
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,600
Forgive us. 
We get the scroll for the word 

137
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:05,820
that feels good. 
We break the spirit of 

138
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:08,340
distraction now in the name of 
Jesus. 

139
00:11:09,540 --> 00:11:13,420
Peace be still. 
Forgive us. 

140
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:17,100
Forgive. 
Us forgive this generation. 

141
00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:30,440
Forgive us. 
Churches are busy all week 

142
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360
trying to figure out how to get 
people in the door and keep 

143
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,120
people in the seats instead of 
trying to figure out how to 

144
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,800
mature Saints. 
How do we get Saints anchored? 

145
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:49,960
How do we get Saints get get 
Saints rooted more than getting 

146
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:56,080
them running programs? 
Lord, deliver us a fresh 

147
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,480
discipleship strategy. 
May that be our prayer. 

148
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,000
Deliver to us a fresh 
discipleship strategy. 

149
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,920
No, not just small groups. 
Lord, discipleship strategy, not

150
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,280
just a place to make the church 
feel small, not just a place for

151
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:31,520
people to just feel seen, but 
Lord, a discipleship strategy 

152
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,400
that will mature the Saints for 
the work of the ministry. 

153
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,520
What is the work of the ministry
to mature the Saints? 

154
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:47,950
Deep, deep conviction, deep 
conviction. 

155
00:12:47,950 --> 00:12:54,200
Lord Jesus, overwhelming 
conviction, trembling 

156
00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:18,330
conviction. 
Forgive us, Forgive us. 

157
00:13:19,930 --> 00:13:26,210
Forgive us. 
Forgive us, forgive us. 

158
00:13:47,280 --> 00:14:06,300
In Jesus name 
last week Elder Brett took Week 

159
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:14,700
2 and talked about the whispers 
and and week 3. 

160
00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:25,960
Let me backtrack a little bit. 
Couple weeks ago when I started 

161
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:32,280
this faithful and family, we 
were not born into comfort. 

162
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,200
That's that's we started there. 
It's just a little bit of recap.

163
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,600
We were not born into comfort. 
We were born into covenant 

164
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,400
conflict. 
We were not born into comfort. 

165
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,600
We were born into covenant 
conflict. 

166
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,120
Remember, we said we were born 
into a war from the beginning. 

167
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,680
The Lord himself said I will put
enmity, enmity. 

168
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,360
Watch this. 
This was not accidental tension.

169
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,200
This was declared hostility by 
God. 

170
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:09,440
It was not random friction. 
It was a bloodline war, 

171
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,120
bloodline war. 
And we discovered that from the 

172
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,120
garden. 
There was opposition to 

173
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,160
offspring, opposition to 
promise, and opposition to 

174
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,920
legacy. 
You want to have kids? 

175
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,920
Let me, let me let. 
If you're watching, if you're 

176
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,480
here, if you want to have kids, 
understand you're bringing kids 

177
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,400
into a war. 
So you need to be parents that 

178
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:39,560
know how to fight, not parents 
that fight each other, parents 

179
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,560
that know how to fight with each
other. 

180
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,560
On behalf of the Bloodline, 
Amen. 

181
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,320
We saw that the serpent did not 
attack random activity. 

182
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,680
He attacked Order, He attacked 
alignment, and he attacked the 

183
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,640
seed. 
He attacked Order. 

184
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,800
He doesn't. 
He's done an amazing job in this

185
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,640
generation. 
He has the women of this world 

186
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,040
trying to prove they can do what
the man do and we can do it 

187
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,160
better, and we deserve to make 
the money they make. 

188
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,880
Let's put all that aside and 
understand where that war came 

189
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,320
from. 
If you, if you look, we, we tell

190
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,320
people, but look, if your wife 
make more money than you, 

191
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,480
fellas, that's not a slide on 
your manhood. 

192
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,800
She just make more money than 
you for whatever reason. 

193
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Now, if she make more money than
you because you refuse to work, 

194
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,680
that's a problem. 
But if she make more money to 

195
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,560
you because of the career she 
chose, the the degree she got, 

196
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,400
even if she's just a little 
smarter than you, you've married

197
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,440
a smart woman. 
Good, right? 

198
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,560
You don't want to marry a dummy.
You don't want to marry. 

199
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,520
No. 
No, no, no, no, no. 

200
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,520
No. 
But in this world, it's this 

201
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,960
competition. 
The enemy has done a great job 

202
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,640
at turning men. 
The competition is in the house.

203
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,480
The competition sleeps together.
Now, how would that work in a 

204
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,720
business? 
Watch this if you've ever worked

205
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,880
in a pro team organization. 
The cheerleaders and the players

206
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,960
cannot be together. 
They discourage the people from 

207
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,000
from sleeping together in the 
organization because it creates 

208
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
conflict. 
It works the same way when you 

209
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,240
sleeping with your enemy. 
You have married couples that 

210
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,920
don't like each other. 
Same bed going two different 

211
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,960
directions. 
Same bed. 2 separate calls, one 

212
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,400
agree, one support, one don't. 
Same bed. 

213
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,360
You are sleeping with the enemy.
And here's what you what some 

214
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:45,280
couples don't want to hear, 
because when you say you're 

215
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,240
sleeping with the enemy, you 
think somebody calling you a 

216
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,680
devil. 
No, you're not the devil. 

217
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:58,000
You're a saved foe. 
You you because of trauma. 

218
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,440
You are working against God's 
plan for your bloodline. 

219
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,280
And the crazy part is when you 
marry somebody, you guys 

220
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,920
interrupted the bloodline by 
just coming together from two 

221
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,680
different places. 
You got an absolute great 

222
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,600
opportunity to start a new thing
just by coming from two 

223
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,200
different places there. 
There is nobody in my family 

224
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,320
that I know that look like my 
kids because of the woman I 

225
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,360
married. 
And then if you go to my wife's 

226
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:31,240
family, ain't nobody look like 
me now. 

227
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000
It is because when you come 
together, you have an 

228
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,080
opportunity to do a new thing. 
Somebody say a new thing. 

229
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,320
Yeah. 
Because when the Lord builds a 

230
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:46,440
house, hell can test that house.
And unless the Lord builds the 

231
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,680
house, those who build it labor 
in vain. 

232
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,680
We got that last week. 
Not Christians building it, not 

233
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,200
your anointing building it, not 
effort building it, not by might

234
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,080
know by power, but by his 
spirit. 

235
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,200
The house is being built. 
The Lord must build the house. 

236
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Somebody say that the Lord must 
build the house. 

237
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,840
We also heard Jesus say 
something very sobering. 

238
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,840
He says sometimes a man's 
enemies will be those of his own

239
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,360
household. 
And here's what we try to fight 

240
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,760
against. 
Guys, why, when, when will you 

241
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,560
come and come to the realization
be like, there's something in 

242
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,760
me, watch this. 
There is something in me working

243
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:30,960
against who I live with. 
I, I'm mature enough to know now

244
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:33,840
whatever the things that I 
didn't deal with was working 

245
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,880
against God's plan for my wife. 
My wife and I, as much as we 

246
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,760
liked each other, we were in 
conflict no different than them 

247
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,320
boys being in that womb that 
represented two different 

248
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880
nations. 
And some of you, whether you're 

249
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,440
watching or you here, there is 
the spirit of two nations in 

250
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,520
your house. 
And until both of y'all can take

251
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,920
ownership of your actions, your 
trauma, your bruises, your 

252
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,760
scars, your stubbornness, your 
pride, and realize there is 

253
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,040
something living in me that if I
don't deal with it, it will work

254
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,000
against God's plan for my 
household. 

255
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:17,280
Doesn't mean that you hate your 
spouse or your kids, it just 

256
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,240
mean there is something undealt 
with. 

257
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,480
That can be used against someone
you say you love. 

258
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,280
So when you get in your fields, 
you'll hurt them a little bit. 

259
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,520
You get a little attitude with 
them sometime because that's 

260
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,240
that thing that's waging against
that person you say you love. 

261
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:43,920
That that that scripture is 
saying, if God doesn't build the

262
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,440
house, he builds in vain. 
But also watch this. 

263
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,720
Watch this, he goes on to say. 
I hate technology getting folks.

264
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,720
Folks will call you. 
That was the devil calling. 

265
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,200
Amen. 
I don't know who it was but you 

266
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,160
the devil right now. 
The devil just used you in Jesus

267
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:04,840
name. 
Come on, where is my notepad? 

268
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,440
How you just going to steal that
from me? 

269
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,840
Hallelujah, salvation and glory,
honor and power unto the Lord 

270
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:36,930
our God. 
Thank you grace, Amen. 

271
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:39,890
Nah, While the pastor answered 
the phone, like y'all saying for

272
00:21:39,890 --> 00:21:41,130
a second I got to take that 
call. 

273
00:21:41,890 --> 00:21:45,290
No, Amen. 
No, no, no, it's good. 

274
00:21:47,170 --> 00:21:50,690
Sometimes a man's enemies will 
be in his own household, right? 

275
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,720
This is saying that when 
allegiance shifts, remember this

276
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:02,720
neutrality leaves, right? 
He says I come to cut and a part

277
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,920
of how Jesus cuts is he grab a 
hold of just one person in the 

278
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,400
house and that person gets 
convicted about they call and 

279
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480
they say yes, Lord, and then 
that other person is like, no, 

280
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,080
are you too busy or you doing 
this or you think you this or 

281
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000
the insecurity flare up and all 
of those things right? 

282
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,320
Yeah, the devil mad right now in
Jesus name, Amen. 

283
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,200
Right. 
And so he he comes to cut 

284
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,560
because he's trying to get a 
hold of the household. 

285
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,240
But how he gets a hold of the 
household and get a hold of 

286
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,360
somebody. 
Can I get a hold of somebody in 

287
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:37,560
the house that's willing to say,
babe, I know this is going to be

288
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,400
tough for you, but I can't put 
off call no longer. 

289
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,120
And I'm talking about 
specificity. 

290
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:49,080
I'm talking about the call when 
when Christ becomes Lord in a 

291
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,680
house, every other loyalty is 
exposed. 

292
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:58,360
Yeah, we also established we 
were born into a war. 

293
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,280
Enmity was declared before we 
arrived, guys. 

294
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,440
Legacy was contested before we 
were conscious, guys. 

295
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,320
And we expose something very 
critical. 

296
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,560
That conflict is not proof of 
failure. 

297
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,040
Resistance is not proof of 
rejection. 

298
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,520
Warfare is not proof that God is
absent. 

299
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,920
It may be proof that that 
something eternal is attached to

300
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,440
you. 
It may be proof that a house is 

301
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,000
being built by the Lord. 
Maybe the enemy is attacking 

302
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,360
your home because there is 
something God is building. 

303
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,400
But here is the question. 
You guys listen. 

304
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,400
Here is the question if enmity 
is real. 

305
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:57,600
If enmity it's real, if the 
house is contested, and if 

306
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,360
allegiance divides, how does 
faith survive it? 

307
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,720
How does faith mature in it? 
And how does faith build legacy?

308
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,960
Under pressure? 
We're going to expose. 

309
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:20,080
We're going to equip and we're 
going to what we're going to 

310
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,280
expose, we're going to we're 
going to excite one more time. 

311
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:33,560
We're going to, we're going to 
and we're going to tonight, week

312
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,720
three-week 2 for me, week 3 for 
y'all is we're going to talk 

313
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:45,680
about faith under fire, formed 
in the fight, formed in the 

314
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,480
fight. 
Because if the fight is 

315
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:55,280
inevitable, if pressure is 
destined then and maturity is 

316
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,480
required, how do we grow in the 
fire? 

317
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,200
I think we have a lot of 
believers that want to mature 

318
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,520
but not be pressured, mature but
not be accountable, Mature watch

319
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,840
this but not be stretched, 
mature but not be challenged, 

320
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,080
mature but not have no pressure 
applied. 

321
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,800
And so we're constantly thinking
that breakthrough means release 

322
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:30,520
of pressure and we have gotten 
it backwards for a long time. 

323
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,440
Immature faith collapses under 
pressure. 

324
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,640
Many believers love promise, but
few embrace process. 

325
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,400
I'm talking about Elder John. 
Embrace process, not, not, not 

326
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,960
let process pass by, but active 
in process. 

327
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,440
Immature faith, it collapses 
under pressure and many 

328
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,080
believers love promise, few 
embrace the process. 

329
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,520
War does not destroy faith. 
Immaturity destroys faith. 

330
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:07,600
Hallelujah. 
Can I? 

331
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,120
Am I talking to somebody in here
tonight and am I talking to 

332
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:12,480
anybody that's been had immature
faith before? 

333
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,040
The warfare is not is not the 
thing breaking you. 

334
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,280
Immaturity is breaking you. 
Watch this because maturity 

335
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,120
allows you to stand under 
pressure. 

336
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,160
Immaturity causes you to buckle 
under pressure. 

337
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:38,360
You you can be watch this. 
You can be a mature adult but an

338
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:43,680
immature believer. 
You got so many mature adults 

339
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,720
walking around with their chests
out acting like they watch this.

340
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:53,480
Mature adults that know 
scripture but but don't have 

341
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,880
revelation, don't have intimacy.
You might read your words, you 

342
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,400
might pray, but you can be a 
mature adult. 

343
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,880
I don't care how good you are 
with your money, you cannot be 

344
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,080
stewards of the word. 
You can. 

345
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,600
You can rightfully divide your 
money and pay all your bills on 

346
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,680
time, but not rightfully divide 
the word. 

347
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,160
Am I talking to anybody? 
And there's so much pride in in 

348
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,400
in in humanity. 
You think, 'cause you're a 

349
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,040
mature adult, that translate to 
being a mature believer. 

350
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,320
Watch this. 
Because you are a college 

351
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:30,000
professor, it does not qualify 
you to be mantled as a teacher 

352
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:33,720
in the body of Christ. 
So just 'cause you can teach at 

353
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,640
Harvard don't mean you can teach
in the middle of warfare to a 

354
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,920
room full of people that's 
distracted and get an anointed 

355
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,120
word. 
Watch this. 

356
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,240
Diplomas do not destroy yokes 
and remove burdens. 

357
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,440
It is the anointing of Jesus 
Christ that destroys the yoke 

358
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,520
and removes the burdens. 
So just because you're this in 

359
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,600
the world don't mean you that in
the Kingdom. 

360
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,680
Just because you got weight in 
your house don't mean you got 

361
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,840
weight in the Kingdom. 
Just because You Beautiful in 

362
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,480
the world don't mean You 
Beautiful before God's eyes. 

363
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,640
Yeah, I know you fearfully and 
wonderfully made, but he is not 

364
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:17,600
pleased with you Mature adults. 
You Mama in and you daddy in. 

365
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,880
But pressure comes, the wind 
come, the storm comes. 

366
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:26,760
But you're a immature believer. 
There were no promise attached 

367
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,000
to your life. 
There would be no resistance 

368
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:37,280
around your life. 
The enemy does not fight, but 

369
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,680
has no future. 
Tell Malia she need to come eat 

370
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:49,910
some of this food. 
James One. 

371
00:28:52,670 --> 00:28:59,680
Consider it nothing but joy. 
Somebody say nothing but my 

372
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,480
brothers and my sisters, 
whenever somebody say, whenever 

373
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:12,200
you fall into various trials, 
this word fall here is saying 

374
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,280
you gon, you gon run into 
something. 

375
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,960
This is this word does not mean 
you slip in the sand. 

376
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,200
Can I help you? 
This is not slip in the sand. 

377
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,080
You can't count it all joy when 
you slip in the sand, OK? 

378
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,600
Be assured that the testing of 
your faith, testing of your 

379
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:39,920
faith through experience, 
produces endurance leading to 

380
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,000
spiritual maturity and inner 
peace. 

381
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Watch this. 
Be assured that the testing of 

382
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,120
your faith through experience, 
you can. 

383
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,520
Your faith cannot grow without 
being tested. 

384
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Your faith don't grow because 
you read about people that got 

385
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,200
faith. 
Your faith grows because what 

386
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,840
you read, you apply. 
And while you apply, you fall 

387
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,280
into diverse temptations. 
And then your faith is under 

388
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,600
trial. 
It produces endurance leading to

389
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,160
spiritual maturity and inner 
peace. 

390
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,680
You mean there's a measure of 
peace that I cannot enter into 

391
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,080
without first going through the 
storm? 

392
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,120
And it's not just go through the
storm, it's how I'm postured 

393
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,240
through the storm. 
Wait a minute. 

394
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,520
So you saying watch this the 
peace. 

395
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,800
So, so there's a storm that I 
got to go through without a 

396
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,320
peace that I will have in the 
next storm. 

397
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,720
I'll say that again. 
There is a storm that I have to 

398
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,800
go through without the peace 
that I will have in the next 

399
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,560
storm. 
I don't get the piece for the 

400
00:30:53,560 --> 00:31:03,080
next storm unless I go through 
this storm and let endurance 

401
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,000
have its perfect result. 
Let endurance have its perfect 

402
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,320
result and do a thorough work so
that you may be perfect or 

403
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,640
mature and completely developed 
in your faith. 

404
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,680
Lacking in nothing. 
I think of so many people on my 

405
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:28,720
road and and on our Rd. that 
forfeit the right you. 

406
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,520
What? 
What's this? 

407
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,520
It wouldn't be. 
You wouldn't come to church. 

408
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,160
You wouldn't find a church or a 
job or travel somewhere if the 

409
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,880
initial feelings didn't feel 
good. 

410
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,640
A part of luring you in is to 
appease and please your initial 

411
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,720
desires. 
So when you're looking for a 

412
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,520
church, it got this, it got 
that, my call can do this, my 

413
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,640
and you're there for a year, 
you're there for two years. 

414
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,240
And then oh, all of a sudden 
familiarity kicks in. 

415
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,160
And in order to get you out of 
that state of familiarity, 

416
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,440
you're going to have to get some
wind blown because God is 

417
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,080
uprooting some things so that 
you can continue to grow. 

418
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,600
But so many people when they get
that win, they like, oh, they 

419
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,400
get critical and then they get 
uprooted. 

420
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,200
And watch this, you'll start the
process over. 

421
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,200
You got to go through the hard 
thing. 

422
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,520
You got to had a hard 
conversation and you got to be 

423
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,240
transformed. 
You got to stare the storm in 

424
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,160
the face and you got to go 
through it, not around it. 

425
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,880
How many Saints read the 
wilderness story and like, 

426
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,600
shame, shame, shame Israelites. 
But then we like God. 

427
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,760
Why this taking so long, Lord? 
Why you bring us this route? 

428
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,000
Watch this. 
And they didn't even have the 

429
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,240
Bible. 
Unless the Lord governs the 

430
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:06,000
house, conflict will define your
house, confusion will overwhelm 

431
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,160
your house, and anxiety will 
drive your house. 

432
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,080
Unless the Lord governs the 
house, not just build it, govern

433
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:20,720
it. 
Unless the Lord anchors the 

434
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:39,040
house, legacy will fracture. 
You see scattered believers, 

435
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,880
scattered minds. 
Watch this. 

436
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,680
What am I saying? 
I'm bringing you some context, 

437
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,360
guys. 
James is writing a letter to a 

438
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:57,840
scattered church. 
He is writing to a people who 

439
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:03,200
are under pressure. 
He he he is writing to a people 

440
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,000
was socially pressured and 
economically strained and 

441
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,679
displaced. 
Do not forget that in the book 

442
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,120
of Acts the church was 
scattered. 

443
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,520
This letter is to a scattered 
people who are dealing with 

444
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,400
immense pressure. 
He says count it all joy. 

445
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,840
Watch this. 
The scripture says trials this 

446
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,480
word trials mean testing. 
It means proving and it means 

447
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,400
examination. 
The the a part of going through 

448
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,960
the storm. 
Watch this. 

449
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:41,440
It's to notic. 
Watch this. 

450
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:42,880
Here's what the enemy loves 
doing. 

451
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,159
When pressure hits or wind 
blows, I examine your life. 

452
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,159
When the wind blows, I examine 
the pastor's life. 

453
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,120
When I get uncomfortable, I 
examine the elder's life. 

454
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,160
I examine the worship team's 
life. 

455
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,680
But I don't understand. 
I I need to understand that when

456
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,040
the wind blows, the first thing 
that needs to be examined is me.

457
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,040
This word trials is not this is 
very important. 

458
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:20,120
This word trials could be, if 
not careful, it could be taken 

459
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,600
as temptation. 
Similar words. 

460
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,880
It's why it's up there on the 
board for you periosmos. 

461
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:35,080
And then you have Perioso. 
The one James is Speaking of is 

462
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:40,000
trials. 
The way you could take it is I 

463
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,080
am going through temptation, 
count it all joy when I am being

464
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,440
tempted. 
But he is telling me that I am 

465
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,800
being I am. 
I am on trial circumstances that

466
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:59,920
prove what is already there. 
James One is talking about the 

467
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:04,240
trial you're going through is to
expose what's already in you. 

468
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,720
It's exam time. 
Well, no. 

469
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:10,600
The teacher going to see if you 
studied or not. 

470
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:16,640
You can say I was up all night 
long, Miss Stephanie, but she 

471
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,760
going to check them papers and 
it's going to look like you was 

472
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,800
not. 
You might have been up all night

473
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,200
but not studying. 
You might have been at church 

474
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,680
every Sunday but you wasn't 
locked in. 

475
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,640
You might have been a Christian 
for 15 years but you ain't 

476
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,600
matured over 15 years. 
Do you look 15 years mature? 

477
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,960
If you have a baby and they 15 
years old and can't talk yet, do

478
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:46,760
you know you got a problem? 
If you got a 15 year old and 

479
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,600
they're coming to you crying 
like when they was one, do you 

480
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,960
think you have a literal problem
with your child? 

481
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,240
We have a lot of Christians with
special needs. 

482
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,440
No, no, no, no. 
Listen, they'll tell you they 

483
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,400
need special needs because 
they'll say your church can't 

484
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:12,880
provide them. 
So then you got to understand 

485
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,760
this disconnect. 
You're not even talking. 

486
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,960
If you're maturing, there's 
going to come a point where he 

487
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,960
cuts and you're not even 
talking. 

488
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,360
You're talking to a Christian, 
but you ain't talking about the 

489
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,120
same God. 
We can't be talking about the 

490
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,960
same God because we're talking 
from two different dimensions. 

491
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,640
And if we're talking from two 
different dimensions, we're 

492
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,240
talking from two different 
seasons. 

493
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,920
And you wonder how he comes in 
these relationships and cut you 

494
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,200
trying to save him when God 
saying, no, I have elevated you.

495
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,280
Therefore that's why there's a 
disconnect and you're trying to 

496
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:48,560
connect something that's a 
frequency issue, not a 

497
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,920
friendship issue. 
It look, look, I'm not, I'm not,

498
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,640
I'm not, I'm not going separate 
ways from you in this season 

499
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,600
because I don't like you. 
It's just we ain't on the same 

500
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:05,360
wavelength. 
What is what is already there is

501
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,240
what's already there. 
The wind that just blew. 

502
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,320
If you just stood still versus 
pacifying your own dysfunction, 

503
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:16,720
God would have been able to 
expose what's wrong with you 

504
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,520
instead of what's wrong with 
them. 

505
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,560
That's what the pressure for. 
That's what the wind is for. 

506
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,680
And so all the wind, and when 
you hear the wind is about to 

507
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,280
blow again, if you stay at Loaf 
Castle Quest that long, all you 

508
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,240
have to understand is that's a 
warning that whatever's in you 

509
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:40,680
is about to be exposed. 
And I think when we warned about

510
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,320
the wind we had, we had said 
this is exposure time. 

511
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:51,320
God's about to blow. 
This word here means spiritual 

512
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,960
examination, not moral 
seduction. 

513
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,840
This is not talking about count 
it all joy when you are morally 

514
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:06,160
tried or seduced or tempted. 
This this James one is speaking.

515
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,080
Hey, count it all joy when you 
fall in the divers because 

516
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:13,080
what's it counted all joy on 
test day? 

517
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,720
Look, look, I was the person 
that get nervous on test day. 

518
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,760
For one, I wasn't like that 
great a test taker, but I also 

519
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,840
didn't put in the work 
sometimes. 

520
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,480
And then you come and your 
friends, they there early. 

521
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,360
They not panic you you ever. 
I don't know. 

522
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,960
I think this is a room every you
finished early in your test. 

523
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,760
But I was the per I was one of 
the last people. 

524
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,960
I was the one of the last people
that that that that that walked 

525
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,600
out the room on test day. 
Now look, I've passed a lot of 

526
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:51,240
tests, but the but the point is,
is, is that not everybody is 

527
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:54,280
prepared for the wind to blow 
and the wind is blowing. 

528
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,640
Exams are not to tempt you, 
they're to prove you. 

529
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,520
They're not to draw you away. 
There is to actually actually 

530
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,520
attest even the wrong answers 
make you smarter. 

531
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,840
When you discover you got 
something wrong, it makes you 

532
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,680
more mature. 
Because I had to get it wrong to

533
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:22,480
find out what was what right. 
How can you correct something 

534
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,920
that you keep calling corrected?
How can you correct something 

535
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:36,640
you think is fixed? 
Gold is not destroyed in fire, 

536
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:47,240
the impurities are. 
The gold is not destroyed in 

537
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:55,040
fire, the impurities are. 
The trial does not create 

538
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,200
weakness. 
The trial reveals weakness. 

539
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,840
James does not say here, feel 
joy. 

540
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:12,960
You say count it. 
The immature believer wants to 

541
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,360
what feel joy? 
The mature believer what counts 

542
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:24,710
it. 
And you find more believers 

543
00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:33,630
complaining than counting. 
This word counted all joy. 

544
00:41:34,310 --> 00:41:37,350
It's an accounting word. 
It means to evaluate, reckon and

545
00:41:37,350 --> 00:41:39,470
calculate. 
In other words, in order to 

546
00:41:39,470 --> 00:41:42,830
count it all joy I need to. 
When the enemy is waging war 

547
00:41:42,830 --> 00:41:45,390
against me, that's when I start 
pointing out all the goodness of

548
00:41:45,390 --> 00:41:48,040
God. 
Like God then brought me out of 

549
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,480
this. 
I might be stuck in this, but he

550
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,600
then brought me out of 30,000 
things. 

551
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,600
I might not have much now, but 
God has always provided all of 

552
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,400
my needs in the name of Jesus. 
I might be hungry, but I'm not 

553
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,480
going to go hungry. 
I'm not going to die of 

554
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,360
starvation. 
I may not have the relationships

555
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,280
I desire, but I got family, I 
got friends, I got. 

556
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,920
I may not have the house that I 
desire, but I got a roof over my

557
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,360
head. 
Understand when the enemy comes 

558
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,960
in like a flood, you raise a 
standard and you count it all 

559
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,560
joy. 
God is good, God is faithful. 

560
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:21,640
He brought me out of that car 
accident. 

561
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,760
He healed my body when I was 
sick. 

562
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,960
He made a way when there was no 
way. 

563
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:33,560
Count it all joy. 
Be careful the people that count

564
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,880
all the wrongs. 
The Bible says that love keeps 

565
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,240
no record, so when people come 
to you pointing out what's 

566
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:50,550
wrong, they're not in what 
Assess your trial. 

567
00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:54,550
Count it all joy means to assess
your your trial properly. 

568
00:42:57,830 --> 00:43:01,670
Assess your trial properly. 
Do not interrupt pressure 

569
00:43:01,670 --> 00:43:06,790
emotionally and inter interpret 
it covenantly. 

570
00:43:07,870 --> 00:43:13,880
Assess your trial properly. 
Do not interpret pressure 

571
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,160
emotionally. 
Do you know how many people have

572
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,360
walked out of tough moments 
because it didn't feel good? 

573
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,360
They didn't assess that this is 
an ordained storm. 

574
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,200
Jesus said go across. 
He counted the storm was coming,

575
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,880
but he counted himself in the 
storm. 

576
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:42,400
Interpret it covenantly. 
Watch this. 

577
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,440
Testing produces steadfastness, 
it says genuine proof. 

578
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:55,080
The testing genuine proof. 
Approved character produces 

579
00:43:55,080 --> 00:44:02,680
steadfastness, genuine proof. 
This is why I love the things 

580
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,400
that we preach in here. 
It comes from experience. 

581
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Seminary could teach you so 
much, but the anointing only 

582
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,520
with seminary. 
No, the anointing to be potent 

583
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,280
needs experience coming out of 
the mouth of people who've been 

584
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,560
through dungeons and who've been
through This is why the the, the

585
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,000
no, I'm not going to go ahead of
myself. 

586
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,120
I'm not going to go ahead of 
myself. 

587
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:32,720
Pray for me, say PT, slow down. 
Somebody say endurance. 

588
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,080
I love this. 
I love this endurance. 

589
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:44,400
It's 2 words here hypo meno. 
Now I'm not you know, I'm not 

590
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,360
Hebrew or Greek and you know, so
so if you can save money if you 

591
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:53,560
want to, but hypo mean no watch 
this the word this word 

592
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:59,120
endurance under and to remain to
have endurance means you stay 

593
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:05,640
under to you don't have 
endurance because you tolerate 

594
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,760
you have endurance because you 
stay under. 

595
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:19,160
To remain under endurance means 
or does not mean not escape. 

596
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,320
It does not mean to escape. 
It does not mean to retaliate 

597
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,680
and it does not mean fold. 
It means to remain. 

598
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:36,080
It is not just remain complain, 
it is remain and counted, remain

599
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,040
and continue to do the last 
thing he told you to do before 

600
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,080
you have a self-proclaimed 
transition. 

601
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,920
We got the church is less cost 
less sent than it ever has been.

602
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:55,360
You got more people sending 
themselves to all kinds of 

603
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,480
places in the name of Jesus, not
escape. 

604
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,720
It's not retaliate. 
It is not fold. 

605
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:05,800
It is remain. 
Somebody say remain. 

606
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,600
This is not passive suffering. 
It is active perseverance. 

607
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,640
This is not we just going to 
cover up and wait till the storm

608
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,800
pass. 
You remember a few months ago or

609
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,120
however long it was, I was like 
you got to you got to walk 

610
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,360
through the valley of the shadow
of death. 

611
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,240
He said watch this. 
He says Ezekiel, what do you see

612
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:28,160
in the valley? 
I know you see death, but don't 

613
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,080
cover your eyes. 
Tell me, what do you see now? 

614
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:37,040
Do you think they can live? 
If Ezekiel didn't look he would 

615
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,440
have said what you mean. 
Can what live? 

616
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,080
And some of us won't call in 
purpose but we walking through 

617
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,000
the valley with our all eyes 
closed. 

618
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,080
You can't hear God with your 
eyes closed. 

619
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,680
This is not passive suffering, 
guys. 

620
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,000
Being a person who carries 
weight without shifting 

621
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,800
allegiance is endurance. 
To be a person of endurance is 

622
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:12,560
to be a person who carries 
weight, not offload it, carry it

623
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:20,000
without shifting allegiance. 
Suffering produces endurance and

624
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:25,360
Jesus endured the cross. 
I love this scripture. 

625
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,080
If we are faithful, this do not 
believe and are true and to to 

626
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,200
him he remains true, faithful to
his word and and his righteous 

627
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,640
character. 
Watch this for he cannot he 

628
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,920
cannot deny himself. 
In other words, God is not 

629
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,520
shifty. 
So to be a wavering shifty 

630
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,600
person, you are out of God 
character. 

631
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,880
You are not a son, you are an 
orphan. 

632
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,000
To be shifty, to be wavering. 
God's character is one that even

633
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,320
when others are unfaithful, you 
remain the same. 

634
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,800
Even when others walk away, even
when they walk back, they going 

635
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,120
to find you the same person, 
just matured version of 

636
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,560
yourself. 
It is God character to remain 

637
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:11,360
the same in a time of 
unfaithfulness, shiftiness, 

638
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,440
double mindedness. 
I will remain shout that out, 

639
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:21,160
see who who's the better person,
the person that walked away from

640
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,600
it or the person that remained 
who's the better friend? 

641
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,840
Somebody that's going to 
squabble with me. 

642
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,960
He gave me a black eye. 
Gave me a black eye. 

643
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:31,920
We mad at each other. 
We got up. 

644
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,640
That's how old school fights 
used to be. 

645
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,440
Uncles now get get the gloves 
and you box it out and then you 

646
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,120
hug and make be friends. 
Nowadays we shoot each other. 

647
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,040
Oh, I'm sorry. 
I'm sorry. 

648
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,640
You guys. 
It's happening in Surrey too. 

649
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,680
People get shot. 
OK? 

650
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,200
Canada is coming. 
I promise. 

651
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:56,840
Canada is coming. 
It's not of God to have such a 

652
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,800
shifty people. 
We are so shifty. 

653
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,360
We are so weak. 
We are so we buckle under. 

654
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,040
Not even we we buckle up. 
It ain't even a tornado. 

655
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,640
It's just a blow in your ear, 
Devil blowing your ear and you 

656
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,240
distract it. 
Devil whip. 

657
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,280
Watch this. 
A whisper is a blow. 

658
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,440
The devil whispered something in
your ears and it got your mind 

659
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,080
all over here and you're like, 
whoa, I'm ending. 

660
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,960
You show up at church on a 
Sunday or a Wednesday with that 

661
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:32,480
whisper in your ear instead of 
doing what God say and look at 

662
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,320
the fruit. 
Look at watch this. 

663
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,360
Look at the fruit of the 
whisperer and look at the fruit 

664
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,520
of the people that remain. 
Come on, say I shall remain. 

665
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,120
We serve. 
We serve a reliable God. 

666
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,840
Wavering is not of godly 
character. 

667
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,000
We serve a covenant. 
Keeping God. 

668
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:00,480
Endurance is covenant stamina. 
Endurance is covenant stamina. 

669
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,800
I'm remaining because I'm in 
covenant. 

670
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,520
I'm remaining because I'm in 
love with God. 

671
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:09,320
I'm remaining not because I 
like, because you like me and I 

672
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,760
like you. 
But God has called me here. 

673
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,120
He's faithful, He loves me, I 
love him. 

674
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,680
Therefore I'm remaining because 
I am doing it unto Him. 

675
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,480
I'm not doing it unto 
circumstances or going my way. 

676
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:28,400
I am doing it unto covenant. 
So we got to let go and let God 

677
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,840
do not interrupt. 
Watch this do not interrupt the 

678
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,280
process and do not abort 
development. 

679
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:42,200
When the Bible says let 
endurance finish, it's saying do

680
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:49,760
not interrupt the process and do
not abort development, right? 

681
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:54,600
If you if you in surgery and the
doctors got your stomach on the 

682
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,680
side because they doing surgery 
and they pulled your stomach out

683
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,000
and they got in on the side on 
the little silver platter and 

684
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,760
you just so happened to wake up.
You don't get up and be like I 

685
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:10,160
got to go. 
No, they got to finish the job 

686
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,240
and watch this. 
You don't go home soon as they 

687
00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:16,320
stitch you back up. 
You go to that room where they 

688
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:22,880
call it what development takes a
process. 

689
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,000
You don't even get muscles by 
lifting weights alone. 

690
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:36,040
When you lift, it rips and then 
it rips and then it rebuilds. 

691
00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:43,800
And then we just run at the 
ripping, not realizing we got a 

692
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:52,960
RIP to be built. 
It says perfect work. 

693
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:57,120
This word perfect means mature 
whole watch this fully 

694
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,880
developed, fully developed, 
fully developed, fully 

695
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:06,560
developed, fully developed, 
fully developed, complete. 

696
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:18,390
It means integrated. 
It's, it's crazy how when you're

697
00:52:18,390 --> 00:52:22,350
in school, you can't go to the 
next grade until you complete 

698
00:52:22,350 --> 00:52:25,320
the grade. 
You don't just get to go to the 

699
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,240
next grade because you turned a 
new age. 

700
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,840
Oh, I'm 18 now. 
So you got to put me in that, in

701
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,680
that class, but you didn't pass 
that class. 

702
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,760
So guess what? 
If you, if you don't want to be 

703
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,640
sitting in the little desk with 
your long legs, guess what you 

704
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,920
got to do? 
You got to, you got to pass that

705
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,680
class. 
Hallelujah. 

706
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,200
The fire is not reducing you. 
It is refining you. 

707
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,200
Come on, write it down. 
The fire is not reducing you, it

708
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,720
is refining you. 
It is refining you. 

709
00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:02,040
The fire is not reducing you, 
it's refining you. 

710
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:13,560
Here's what immature faith does.
Immature faith ask why is this 

711
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:19,680
happening to me? 
Mature faith Ask what is this 

712
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:26,320
producing in me? 
The war exposes whether your 

713
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,920
faith is emotional or 
covenantal. 

714
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:38,760
The war exposes whether your 
faith is emotional or 

715
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:45,400
covenantal. 
Immature faith Watch this The 

716
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,200
posture of immature faith is 
shifty. 

717
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:56,320
It's passive, it's works based 
or performance based and confess

718
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:01,520
but don't align. 
You confess but don't align. 

719
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,880
You confess. 
You sound faith, but you're not 

720
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:11,200
postured Faith mature. 
Mature faith postures. 

721
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:17,080
It's submitted, it's diligent, 
it's transforming and it's 

722
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,760
rooted or it's fixed. 
You can't move mature posture. 

723
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,320
You can't you can you? 
You not easily, you not the 

724
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,800
enemy, right? 
Hey hey, eat from this tree. 

725
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,440
No, that's not what God told me.
Sorry. 

726
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,000
Watch this. 
Jesus was tempted 3 times and 

727
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,400
the enemy gave him a word very 
close to the word. 

728
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,640
Mature faith, even when starving
can hear accurately. 

729
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,680
Mature faith cannot perform 
under fatigue. 

730
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,320
I mean immature faith cannot 
perform under fatigue. 

731
00:54:54,920 --> 00:55:00,880
Somebody say equip. 
If endurance means remaining 

732
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,160
under pressure, you guys, what 
does that look like when the 

733
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:09,000
heat is real? 
If endurance means to remain 

734
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:14,280
under pressure, remain under the
fire, remain under the 

735
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:20,520
intensity, what does that really
look like when the heat is on 

736
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:25,440
your butt? 
The furnace is formation, not 

737
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:33,410
punishment. 
Daniel Three says this. 

738
00:55:33,730 --> 00:55:36,130
Your threat means nothing to us.
Watch this. 

739
00:55:36,130 --> 00:55:37,530
Troy, you should appreciate 
this. 

740
00:55:37,730 --> 00:55:39,930
You'll threaten it. 
This is their response to 

741
00:55:39,930 --> 00:55:42,370
pressure. 
Watch what comes out of their 

742
00:55:42,370 --> 00:55:43,570
mouth. 
Watch this. 

743
00:55:43,690 --> 00:55:48,650
They count it. 
Your threat means nothing to us.

744
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:55,920
If you throw us in the fire, the
God we serve, watch how they 

745
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,440
count it can rescue us. 
They counted it. 

746
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:08,600
If you throw us in the fire, the
God we serve can rescue us from 

747
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,560
your roaring furnace and 
anything else you might cook up.

748
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:23,480
I love how they counted God's 
ability, not the Fahrenheit. 

749
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,400
They counted God's ability, not 
how hot the furnace was. 

750
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:38,800
We're in a time where Babylon is
ideological captivity. 

751
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,600
They are not told to renounce 
God. 

752
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,440
Watch, this is very important. 
They're not told to renounce 

753
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,200
Yahweh. 
They are told to blend. 

754
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,720
The temptation is to get you to 
be like the world, respond like 

755
00:56:53,720 --> 00:56:56,680
the world, think like the world,
conversate like the world, 

756
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:01,440
problem solve like the world, 
heal like the world. 

757
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,800
He did not say renounce. 
He said blend in faith is not 

758
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,880
attacked directly. 
It is pressured socially. 

759
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,880
Watch this. 
It was it was social in the 

760
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,560
garden. 
We fail because of a 

761
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:26,960
conversation. 
Be careful who whispering in 

762
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,360
your ear. 
But then watch this. 

763
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,560
You got to then ask how do they 
keep getting to your ear? 

764
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,760
How do they still have access to
your ear? 

765
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,440
How are you still considering 
their voice? 

766
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,240
Once you identify the serpent, 
stop listening. 

767
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,200
Watch this. 
It goes on and says, but even if

768
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,600
he doesn't, somebody say, but 
even if he does it, we we read 

769
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,440
this a lot, but we don't see 
them counting it all joy. 

770
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,040
They say, throw us in the 
furnace. 

771
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,400
He will save us. 
He is able. 

772
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,320
They talk about his ability and 
they say, you know what? 

773
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,360
Even if he don't save us, it 
wouldn't make a bit of 

774
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,720
difference. 
We still wouldn't serve your 

775
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,440
gods or worship the gold statue 
you set up. 

776
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,080
Somebody shout out. 
It won't make a difference. 

777
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,880
Here's their mindset. 
Elder Roseanne, we have no need 

778
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,880
to answer you. 
I have no need to talk to you. 

779
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,840
I see where you are. 
I see how you talking. 

780
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,240
Watch this. 
I see how you moving. 

781
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:42,880
I heard you bark. 
You're a dog. 

782
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,960
Why? 
I see you slivering you a snake.

783
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,880
I'm not trying to make you a 
dove. 

784
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:52,040
You a snake. 
You I see it. 

785
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,400
So stop trying to believe 
something different. 

786
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,600
Because I might see Elder John. 
That's Elder John. 

787
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,640
But how Elder John? 
I'm not called to call Elder 

788
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,840
John out. 
I'm called to call and discern 

789
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,560
the spirit that's used in Elder 
John. 

790
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,880
So I'm not called an Elder, 
John, a snake. 

791
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,520
I'm talking about what's moving 
through EJ. 

792
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:20,160
And because we are so 
relational, we are not allowing 

793
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:25,680
ourselves to be warrior like 
This is why people in the army 

794
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,080
don't be on the phone with their
kids. 

795
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:38,240
They they, they train killers. 
You send the letters home 

796
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:44,760
because if you hear the sound of
your baby say daddy, what that 

797
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:52,200
will do to you if the next sound
is a call for war and the church

798
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:57,400
right now we're so community. 
We're not covenant. 

799
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,800
Community and relationship can 
feel like covenant. 

800
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,120
But if you are so wow, what's 
this if you are so comfortable 

801
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:13,040
in covenant? 
That you can't fight and when 

802
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:18,840
God tell you to stick your sword
out and you retreat, then how 

803
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:27,240
much covenant are you really in 
the theology here guys, we've 

804
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:28,200
got it. 
We've got to give it to you. 

805
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,360
Say we teach the theology. 
Here is God is able. 

806
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,640
Somebody say God is able. 
The sovereignty of God says God 

807
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:40,760
may choose otherwise. 
That's his sovereignty. 

808
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,240
He may choose something 
different. 

809
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:46,280
He has the right to, but if he 
chooses something different, he 

810
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,760
must have another way of 
delivering me. 

811
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,880
Abraham says this guys, he said,
I don't know. 

812
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,440
God told me that the promise was
going to come through this Son. 

813
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:01,520
Hebrews says that he reasoned 
with himself and said God must 

814
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,280
go raising. 
If God told me the slaying, then

815
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,960
God must got a plan to raise 
him. 

816
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:14,880
And then the loyalty says we 
will not bow, we will not bow. 

817
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:24,080
Faith that says even if not must
be tested by fire because 

818
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,280
conviction without consequence 
is unproven. 

819
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,000
Some of y'all think you 
convicted until you get in the 

820
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,160
fire. 
Your conviction has to be 

821
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:40,120
proven. 
Faith that requires deliverance 

822
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,360
to remain loyal is 
transactional. 

823
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:49,160
Faith that requires deliverance 
to remain loyal is 

824
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,080
transactional. 
Faith under fire is covenant. 

825
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,160
Watch this. 
Pressure increases when 

826
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,640
allegiance does not shift. 
You, you, you'll appreciate this

827
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,040
P deal. 
Pressure increases when 

828
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,280
allegiance does not shift. 
So watch this. 

829
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,440
Here's the flip side of it, 
Joyce, is that the longer I 

830
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,280
remain, the higher the heat gets
turned up. 

831
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,600
Watch this. 
But God's with me in the 

832
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,320
furnace. 
He's not with me while I'm 

833
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,080
running. 
So the question is, do you want 

834
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,640
to be where God is or do you 
want to be where cup comfort is?

835
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,280
Pressure increases when the 
legion. 

836
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,080
So when you getting all that 
pressure, you getting that 

837
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,040
persecution, it must be a sign 
of something. 

838
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:41,560
You might you might just be 
standing and wherever you find a

839
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,920
people standing, territory is 
being recovered. 

840
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,280
The fire consumes compromise 
before it consumes Covenant. 

841
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:11,760
The fire was intensified and the
consequences was real, right? 

842
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:19,600
The cost was visible, right? 
Watch what happens when Covenant

843
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:25,720
goes into flames. 
Suddenly King Nebuchadnezzar 

844
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:27,920
jumped up in alarm. 
Watch this. 

845
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:34,000
Covenant goes into flames. 
Covenant is in fire. 

846
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:39,160
Now watch what happens when 
covenant is under fire. 

847
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,880
Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in 
alarm and said, didn't we throw 

848
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:50,840
three men bound hand and foot 
into the fire? 

849
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,360
That's right. 
OK, they said. 

850
01:03:55,600 --> 01:04:00,440
But look, I see four men walking
around freely. 

851
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:05,920
Wait a minute. 4 men in a 
furnace 7 times hotter, meaning 

852
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,160
it can't get no hotter because 7
is complete. 

853
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:12,760
We can't turn the knob no more 
walking around. 

854
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,880
Watch this freely. 
Didn't we bound them completely 

855
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:22,120
unharmed? 
And the 4th man looks like the 

856
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:26,040
son of the gods. 
The fire burned ropes. 

857
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:31,760
The fire revealed presence. 
The fire did not remove them 

858
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,200
from God. 
The fire revealed God was with 

859
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:42,800
them. 
The fire revealed God was with 

860
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:49,670
them. 
Oh, I'm going to read it. 

861
01:04:50,350 --> 01:04:55,640
You with us today. 
What bound them could not 

862
01:04:55,640 --> 01:05:03,040
survive. 
What bound them could not 

863
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,440
survive. 
What tested them. 

864
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,400
What bound them could not 
survive. 

865
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:16,120
What tested them. 
What bound them could not 

866
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:20,520
survive the fire. 
So God says, let them tape you 

867
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:24,680
up, let them bind you, let them 
talk about you, let them count 

868
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:28,080
you out, and then let's go under
the fire. 

869
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,000
Let the wind blow and let's see 
who's standing. 

870
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:35,680
Then let's who's? 
Let's see who's standing after 

871
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:39,480
the wind blows. 
Let's see who has peace after 

872
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,840
the wind blows. 
Let's see who household is 

873
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:48,440
intact after the wind blows. 
Let's see who got real joy after

874
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,320
the wind blows. 
Come on, somebody. 

875
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,720
Sometimes the fire you fear is 
the fire that frees you. 

876
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,440
When God permits fire for 
formation, He limits damage and 

877
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:22,920
multiplies dominion. 
He limits damage and multiplies 

878
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:28,040
dominion. 
Presence was revealed under 

879
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:35,960
fire. 
This is for you to take home. 

880
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:43,200
Distinction invites testing. 
You are under fire because you 

881
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:53,300
are distinguished. 
The distinguished shall not be 

882
01:06:53,620 --> 01:06:56,980
extinguished. 
Endurance is not surviving 

883
01:06:56,980 --> 01:06:59,500
alone. 
It is remaining under with 

884
01:06:59,500 --> 01:07:00,420
presence. 
Watch this. 

885
01:07:00,620 --> 01:07:04,420
Testing develops endurance. 
Endurance matures faith. 

886
01:07:04,940 --> 01:07:07,780
The last thing I'll give you 
with excitement. 

887
01:07:10,900 --> 01:07:18,000
The fire promotes the faithful, 
Nebuchadnezzar said. 

888
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:23,520
Blessed be the God of Shadrach, 
Meshach, and Abednego. 

889
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:30,240
He sent his Angel and rescued 
his servants who trusted in him.

890
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:36,480
They ignored the King's orders 
and laid their bodies on the 

891
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:41,120
line rather than serve or 
worship any God but their own. 

892
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:50,520
Do we have those type of people 
in today's church who under 

893
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:55,240
pressure, you will lay your body
down for the body, You will lay 

894
01:07:55,240 --> 01:08:00,400
your life down for the body. 
You will lay your desires down 

895
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,360
for your family. 
You will lay your preferences 

896
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:14,800
down for Unity. 
Therefore the King says, I issue

897
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:19,800
this decree anyone, anywhere. 
So we talking about global favor

898
01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:25,120
of any race, color or creed. 
Who says anything against the 

899
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:28,800
God of Shadrach, Meshach 
Abednego and Terence Richmond 

900
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:33,240
will be ripped to pieces limb by
limb and their houses torn down.

901
01:08:33,319 --> 01:08:36,160
What? 
Was Shadrach Meshach, Abednego? 

902
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:39,040
An Angel? 
No, there was right. 

903
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,800
OK, Shadrack, Meshach and 
Abednego and Noel Shadrack, 

904
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:46,120
Meshach, Abednego and Troy. 
Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego 

905
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,760
and Elder John Shadrack, Meshach
and Abednego and Malia Shadrack,

906
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,880
Meshach and Abednego and Adam 
Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego 

907
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,720
and the Rivera Shadrack, Meshach
and Abednego and Grace. 

908
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:02,240
Anybody that put their mouth on 
Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego 

909
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:06,080
and you their limbs from limb 
and their How's this torn down? 

910
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:10,760
There has never been a God who 
and pull off a rescue like this 

911
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:14,160
love quest. 
I declare over you what God is 

912
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,760
about to do. 
The people have never seen God 

913
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:22,080
move in families like this, God 
move in finances like this. 

914
01:09:22,279 --> 01:09:24,560
God move in mental health like 
this. 

915
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:28,520
God is about to move in 
unprecedented ways. 

916
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,439
Don't worry about what they say,
don't worry about what they do. 

917
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,279
Don't worry about where they go.
God is fighting your battles. 

918
01:09:40,279 --> 01:09:44,800
Just stand under pressure. 
Stand in the fire. 

919
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:53,399
Even your family. 
Never seen before what he's 

920
01:09:53,399 --> 01:09:59,240
about to do in your life. 
Never been seen before in your 

921
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,800
bloodline. 
That's what somebody what God's 

922
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,440
about to do in your life. 
It's never been done in your 

923
01:10:05,440 --> 01:10:08,640
bloodline. 
Wealth in your bloodline like 

924
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,800
never before. 
Peace in your bloodline like 

925
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:19,480
never before long. 
Life like never before. 

926
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,480
Favor in your bloodline like 
never before. 

927
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:28,240
Sanity like never before. 
Relationships like never before.

928
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:34,960
Promotion like never before 
because you stood in the fire 

929
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:44,440
coming out gold, lift your hands
all over the room, says the king

930
01:10:44,440 --> 01:10:53,580
promoted them. 
The fire was not interruption, 

931
01:10:53,580 --> 01:10:59,540
it was preparation. 
The wind didn't interrupt 

932
01:10:59,540 --> 01:11:03,760
momentum. 
Watch this. 

933
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:10,640
The wind exposed the prepared 
you standing here tonight, you 

934
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:15,320
are the prepared. 
You cannot be moved. 

935
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,480
Some of you know in these last 
few years you have been tested. 

936
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:20,680
You have been tried. 
You've wanted to give up. 

937
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:25,600
But you're still here. 
And what bound you before was 

938
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,560
burned by the fire and blew away
by the wind. 

939
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,320
Come on. 
Tell somebody I'm a new creation

940
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,280
right now. 
I'm unstoppable. 

941
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,400
Come on. 
I'm immovable. 

942
01:11:47,460 --> 01:11:51,780
The fire did not disqualify 
them, It authenticated them. 

943
01:11:53,340 --> 01:11:57,780
The wind did not disqualify you.
It authenticated you. 

944
01:11:58,740 --> 01:11:59,300
Yeah, I'm. 
I'm. 

945
01:11:59,700 --> 01:12:00,300
I'm. 
I'm. 

946
01:12:00,300 --> 01:12:01,780
Watch this. 
This doesn't make some people 

947
01:12:01,780 --> 01:12:03,620
mad. 
I know it'll make hell mad, but 

948
01:12:03,620 --> 01:12:06,480
I'm the real deal. 
Now you can, you can think 

949
01:12:06,480 --> 01:12:08,640
that's cocky or whatever. 
No, no, no, that's just being 

950
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,280
aware the anointing of my life 
is the real deal. 

951
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,360
My, my wife and I have been 
proven as blood bought anointed 

952
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,520
leaders in this country in the 
name of Jesus. 

953
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,520
And if you ain't aware of 
yourself and you too afraid to 

954
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,680
say I'm the real deal, man, you 
tell yourself if you know you're

955
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,160
the real deal, you're the real 
deal. 

956
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,120
And that's what the enemy do not
want sons and daughters to know 

957
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,360
that you are you the real deal. 
You cannot be moved. 

958
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,400
You've been tried by fire. 
You've been. 

959
01:12:50,440 --> 01:12:53,000
You was born in some jacked up 
situations. 

960
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,920
Your dad wasn't there, but you 
made it through the fire. 

961
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,520
Your mom wasn't there, but you 
made it through the fire. 

962
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,200
You was raped, but you made it 
through the fire. 

963
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,280
You was abused, but you made it 
through the fire. 

964
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,440
Come on, If you made it through 
anything, say I'm the real deal.

965
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,760
And we're, we're, we're in a 
place in this world, in this 

966
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,880
region where anybody that's 
aware of them being the real 

967
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,760
deal or I'm anointed or 
anything. 

968
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,160
You are a threat to people 
because they want to, they want 

969
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:31,120
to humble you. 
Watch this. 

970
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,960
You can be humble, you can love 
Jesus. 

971
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,400
You can know Jesus is the real 
light of the world, but you can 

972
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,440
also know you the light of the 
world because the light told me 

973
01:13:39,440 --> 01:13:45,640
I'm the light. 
There's room for both. 

974
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,400
There's room for humility and 
awareness. 

975
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,160
There's room for humility and 
confidence. 

976
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,880
Somebody say I'm the real deal. 
Come on. 

977
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,080
I just think that's agitating 
the enemy that has plagued your 

978
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,440
family because you have family 
members with false humility. 

979
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,320
You have family members that 
didn't go to the next dimension 

980
01:14:03,440 --> 01:14:05,840
because they was too humble in 
the name of Jesus. 

981
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,920
But we are a new breed and we 
understand who we are. 

982
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,880
We understand we are the 
anointing of the Most High. 

983
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:15,400
We are the real deal. 
We are the remnant, we are the 

984
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,760
preserved, We are the light of 
the world. 

985
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,720
We are the salt of the earth. 
We are God's chosen. 

986
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:22,600
We are fearfully and wonderfully
made. 

987
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,040
God sees us. 
He knows the hairs on our head. 

988
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:30,480
He brought us out of a mighty 
long way in the name of Jesus. 

989
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:34,160
Come on. 
That God that brought him out of

990
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:42,480
the fiery furnace lives in you. 
The God that split the sea lives

991
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:46,760
in you. 
The God that kept Daniel in the 

992
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:51,520
in the lion's den lives in you. 
The the the God that went to 

993
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,080
hell and rose on the third day 
lives in you. 

994
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,880
The God that went inside of 
Lazarus tomb and called him out 

995
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,720
lives in you. 
What you mean I'm not the real 

996
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,000
deal? 
Yahweh lives in me. 

997
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:13,280
Elohim lives in me. 
The creator of the heavens and 

998
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,360
the earth lives in me. 
The author and the finisher 

999
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,920
lives in me. 
You're the real deal. 

1000
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,280
Come on, tell somebody you're 
the real deal. 

1001
01:15:32,220 --> 01:15:34,820
How the world walking around 
with more confidence than us, 

1002
01:15:34,820 --> 01:15:37,940
and they the loss. 
How the found don't got more 

1003
01:15:37,940 --> 01:15:41,740
confidence? 
How the found don't got more 

1004
01:15:41,740 --> 01:15:53,520
confidence? 
Your kids need to know they need

1005
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,640
to see a daddy. 
They need to see a Mama that 

1006
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,400
know they the real deal. 
Your kids take on that false 

1007
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,080
humility. 
Your kids take on that 

1008
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:02,600
insecurity. 
They need to. 

1009
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,600
You need. 
Your kids need to see parents 

1010
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,000
that walk around with confidence
and speak with boldness and 

1011
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,760
speak with courage and take it 
by force. 

1012
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:20,600
Raising up a timid generation. 
Woe is he who raised up children

1013
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:24,400
who are timid. 
That's not that's not a 

1014
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:28,360
generation that we are the, the,
the, the, the generation of 

1015
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:31,040
Elijah. 
OK, we read about Elijah. 

1016
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,320
Did he sound timid? 
He might have sound weary 

1017
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,280
sometime, but did he sound 
timid? 

1018
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,680
Where's the people that that 
dares to believe the impossible?

1019
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:50,520
We're the people that fed up 
with mediocracy and this false 

1020
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,800
humility. 
And and and anybody got a little

1021
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,080
bit of confidence? 
Somebody want to shush you down,

1022
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,840
Let them call you what they want
to call you a preacher with 

1023
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:03,720
sneakers. 
Yeah, you can be a preacher and 

1024
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:04,960
love sneakers. 
So what? 

1025
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:13,360
The same people that put their 
mouth on you are the same people

1026
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,280
that got big savings account to 
leave money behind for their 

1027
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,080
kids and leave inheritance 
behind. 

1028
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:23,520
Don't let the enemy fool you. 
Come out of cultural oppression,

1029
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:28,400
come out of slave mentality, 
come out of the House of the 

1030
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,280
orphan and live and be sons and 
daughters once and for all in 

1031
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,400
the name of Jesus. 
I speak courage into your 

1032
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,800
household. 
I speak boldness into your 

1033
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,320
household. 
I speak confidence into your 

1034
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,640
household. 
Come on, we not biting our 

1035
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:45,960
tongues no more because when we 
speak, we speak what the Holy 

1036
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:49,320
Spirit tell us to speak. 
We will not apologize for being 

1037
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,000
courageous. 
We will not apologize for being 

1038
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,120
bold. 
We will not apologize for 

1039
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,280
speaking on behalf of the Lord 
in the name of Jesus. 

1040
01:17:57,480 --> 01:17:59,640
My second guessing days are 
over. 

1041
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,000
We will not apologize for being 
unique. 

1042
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,520
We will not apologize for being 
different. 

1043
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,120
We will not apologize for being 
distinguished. 

1044
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,520
We will not apologize for being 
anointed. 

1045
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,040
We will not apologize for being 
articulate. 

1046
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:19,400
We will not apologize for being 
multifaceted. 

1047
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:24,200
If you a pastor and you sing and
you make clothes, then you are 

1048
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,200
anointed to do everything that 
God has created you to do. 

1049
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:33,000
We are an unapologetic people. 
In the name of Jesus, write 

1050
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:43,880
letters and make tents. 
Start a company and lead worship

1051
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,720
pastor and be a fashion 
designer. 

1052
01:18:59,710 --> 01:19:09,310
Be courageous in your identity. 
Just under understand the enemy 

1053
01:19:09,310 --> 01:19:12,480
wants to shut you down. 
He wants to quiet your voice 

1054
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,280
because he's reaching too many 
people. 

1055
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,280
He wants to cripple your swag 
because it's influencing too 

1056
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,800
many people. 
If we are fishers of men, your 

1057
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,960
fashion might be the thing that 
get them on the hook, but when 

1058
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:29,200
you get them in the boat, preach
the gospel, show them Jesus. 

1059
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,480
If you're a fisherman, you are 
strategic. 

1060
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,880
Your looks, your influence, your
favor. 

1061
01:19:42,440 --> 01:19:45,680
Don't hide no more. 
I'm speaking to myself. 

1062
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,920
I'm speaking to whoever in here.
Wherever your voice has been 

1063
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,960
silenced, I command it in the 
name of Jesus to be unmute. 

1064
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,440
We not finding our voice, we got
our voice back. 

1065
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:03,960
No, no, no. 
Come on. 

1066
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:08,560
We will pray with authority. 
We will sing with authority, we 

1067
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:12,000
will dance with authority, we 
will shout with authority. 

1068
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,520
We will write books in the name 
of Jesus. 

1069
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,880
The next generation will not be 
without revelation. 

1070
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,160
The next generation will not be 
without a blueprint. 

1071
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:25,320
The next generation will not be 
without strategy in the name of 

1072
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,320
Jesus. 
So Lord, release the books, 

1073
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:31,400
release the songs, release the 
businesses. 

1074
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,440
In the name of Jesus, your 
church will be essential. 

1075
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:47,560
You called us fishers, the men, 
and it's very easy for us, Lord,

1076
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:55,000
to see us as fishermen and not 
as fish, but us fishermen. 

1077
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:58,400
I'm only a fisherman because I 
was a fish caught. 

1078
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:06,320
But when I look at fishies, 
there is thousands of species of

1079
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,440
species. 
Yeah. 

1080
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:14,280
And not what if the whole ocean 
was full of one type of fish? 

1081
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:22,160
Lot of fish wouldn't survive. 
And there's some of you in here.

1082
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:26,880
You caught a fish in the ocean, 
you deep sea. 

1083
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:32,800
You swordfish, some of you, you 
in rivers, you, you can walk in 

1084
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:37,080
the water to catch your fish, 
but just look, look, look. 

1085
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,720
The, the, the, the size of the 
body of water does not dictate 

1086
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:47,680
the size of the anointing. 
But we need every person to 

1087
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:51,160
understand their unique 
abilities because there's a 

1088
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:59,000
diversity of fish to be caught. 
Lord, we are skillful, House, 

1089
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:14,040
because of your anointing. 
And I will tell some of you, you

1090
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:19,040
do not want God to undistract 
you because that looks like the 

1091
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:26,920
prodigal son in the pit. 
For God to stop you, to get you 

1092
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:28,760
focused is not something you 
want. 

1093
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,840
Redirection is your 
responsibility. 

1094
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:42,560
UN unbusy in yourself is your 
responsibility or wouldn't be 

1095
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,480
covenant. 
You got to choose God, you got 

1096
01:22:45,480 --> 01:22:48,040
to choose the Great Commission, 
You got to choose soul winning. 

1097
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,600
You got to choose alignment. 
You got to choose. 

1098
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:52,480
You got to choose to be 
discipled. 

1099
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,960
You got to choose to submit. 
You got to choose it. 

1100
01:22:55,360 --> 01:23:01,080
He is not going to force you. 
He died that some might be 

1101
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:02,720
saved. 
Why might? 

1102
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:07,040
Because not everybody will 
choose excuses over immature. 

1103
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,120
Some of you, I will say it 
straight up, some of you have 

1104
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,480
been saved too long to be as 
immature as you are. 

1105
01:23:13,480 --> 01:23:15,400
You've been loved, you've been 
affirmed. 

1106
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,960
Stop it. 
You are too old. 

1107
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:23,120
You are too you. 
You've been saved too long to be

1108
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:30,920
as needy, to be as blind, to be 
as immature. 

1109
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,760
The body of Christ needs you to 
step into your maturity. 

1110
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,200
Some of your immaturity is not 
because you don't know. 

1111
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,880
You have not chosen chosen to 
walk in the authority that God 

1112
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:46,400
has put into your life and the 
excuses are over in 2026. 

1113
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:52,240
The body needs you to grow up. 
The body needs us to grow up. 

1114
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,840
The excuses is over you 
parenting. 

1115
01:23:55,840 --> 01:24:02,560
So what Mary did too. 
She parented the Savior kids, 

1116
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,000
not an excuse, work. 
Not an excuse. 

1117
01:24:07,440 --> 01:24:11,440
Raise them up in the way they 
should go and that's not by 

1118
01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:13,720
sitting at a table. 
Sometimes it's about them 

1119
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,680
marching behind you. 
Where are we going? 

1120
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:18,760
To the House of the Lord. 
Where are we going? 

1121
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:20,680
You going to sit right here and 
color in this book while I 

1122
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,200
disciple because I don't got a 
babysitter, but I got to 

1123
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:28,440
disciple this person. 
Why all these people over here? 

1124
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,280
Because we're building the 
church, we're making disciples. 

1125
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:32,760
We're doing the work of the 
Lord. 

1126
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:35,680
Why that person sleeping in my 
bed, Mama? 

1127
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,920
Because we're being a blessing. 
They won't be here that long. 

1128
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:46,080
Just two weeks. 
Enough is enough. 

1129
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:54,510
And that's starting with me. 
When is the right time? 

1130
01:24:55,510 --> 01:24:56,990
When you don't know your last 
breath? 

1131
01:24:58,110 --> 01:25:01,070
When is the right time? 
Your last day on this earth 

1132
01:25:01,070 --> 01:25:03,990
could be next week. 
So if your last day was on this 

1133
01:25:04,030 --> 01:25:05,870
earth was next week, would you 
get it right? 

1134
01:25:05,910 --> 01:25:10,480
Probably not, because now you 
got to eat your favorite food 

1135
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:12,480
before you die. 
Now you got to say bye to all 

1136
01:25:12,480 --> 01:25:15,280
your friends before you die. 
Now you got all this list to do.

1137
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,640
Verses he says when I return, 
will I find them in faith? 

1138
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:21,440
When I return? 
They don't know when I'm 

1139
01:25:21,440 --> 01:25:23,040
returning. 
They don't know when I'm coming 

1140
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:24,400
to get them. 
They don't know when I'll 

1141
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,800
receive them back home. 
But will I find them in the 

1142
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,080
thing that I created them for? 
That's legacy. 

1143
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,880
It's not being harsh, but that's
how Jesus talked and he said 

1144
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,800
worse things and we cannot 
apologize, but you guys want to 

1145
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,600
see Jesus in the earth. 
Then you're going to see 

1146
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,560
authority. 
You're going to see boldness, 

1147
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:46,880
you're going to see 
faithfulness. 

1148
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,120
You're going to see you're going
to see Jesus said what the 

1149
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:56,200
Father told him to say. 
Enough of being led by soft 

1150
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,440
leadership. 
Watch this. 

1151
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:03,520
Jesus didn't have a problem with
the people that took formation 

1152
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:14,880
said make disciples and show 
them and teach them the ways. 

1153
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:19,400
You don't make disciples because
you share scripture. 

1154
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:24,760
You make disciples because you 
let Jesus make you and then 

1155
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:31,760
people see your formation. 
So for the few that have ears to

1156
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:37,960
hear, let this be the last day 
that you either be prodigal son 

1157
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:42,760
or let's talk about another one 
young man that's sitting at the 

1158
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:47,840
side of the pool making excuses.
Won't nobody pick me up, 

1159
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:52,520
Everybody getting in my way. 
Or you could be like the one 

1160
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,280
with the issue of blood and 
spend 13 years trying everything

1161
01:26:55,280 --> 01:27:04,360
else but Jesus tonight, somebody
I know, somebody hears the Lord.

1162
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,120
Somebody hears the voice of the 
Lord tonight. 

1163
01:27:07,480 --> 01:27:11,840
And we'll make a decision 
tonight to say, God, here I am. 

1164
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:20,290
And this is not a call to move 
with zeal. 

1165
01:27:21,610 --> 01:27:23,490
It is a call to move with 
surrender. 

1166
01:27:29,810 --> 01:27:31,210
Lift your hands all over this 
room. 

1167
01:27:38,440 --> 01:27:40,560
