Hey, man, where you guys can go 

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,200

My name is Pastor Dylan, and I'm

00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,100
one of the ordained pastors

9
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,600
Love quest. 
And I have been entrusted with 

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,300

And I want to be sure to take a 

12
00:00:38,908 --> 00:00:42,300
moment to give honor, where 
honor is due. 

13
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:47,100
I want to thank my pastors my 
spiritual parents, my spiritual 

14
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:52,100
covering passed through Terrence
and Sister Julia for trusting me

15
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:56,600
with this microphone for 
extending an opportunity, for me

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,500
to discover my voice to step 
into my gift, to release my 

17
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:08,200
anointing, an opportunity for me
to release the champion that's 

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,500
inside of me. 
And so I just want to say Pastor

19
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,200

25
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:42,100
to you can't just live your life
any old way and expect to hear 

26
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:46,500

given me a greater appreciation 

27
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:51,300
for the lives that are pastors 
have Laid down on a day-to-day 

28
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,500
basis to hear from heaven for 
you guys. 

29
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:57,600
So we just give a round of 
applause for our pastors. 

30
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000
We love you. 
We thank you. 

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,199
We honor you amen. 
Man who's been blessed by this 

32
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:11,900
series. 
The champ is here, I know I have

33
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:19,400
the Lord is up to something 
great, and it is a privilege to 

34
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,800
be Be a part of it. 
If you've ever been on a winning

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,900
team, it takes a movement of 
people all Gathering under One 

36
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:33,600
Vision. 
All operating in unity in order 

37
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:40,300
to accomplish the goal and the 
Lord is doing a new thing within

38
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:44,200
the Church of Canada. 
He is re-establishing. 

39
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,100
Covenant, Jesus is, is re or the
bride, I should say. 

40
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,300
Jesus is always held up. 
Is end but the bride is 

41
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,500
re-establishing. 
Their Covenant, their commitment

42
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:59,200
to their groom and here is a 
people who have made. 

43
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,600
Being a member of the body of 
Christ a priority in their life.

44
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:11,400
And so man, we are on the 
championship team and so I'm 

45
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,900
here to continue. 
A word on The champ is here. 

46
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:23,400
And so as as I share with you, 
I'm just going to share my 

47
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,100
thoughts. 
If that's okay with you guys. 

48
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,100
Holy spirit, guide your servant,
I Surrender myself to be used by

49
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:33,800
you father, anoint my tongue and
holy spirit, guide my thoughts 

50
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,400
Lord. 
I just, I just ask that the 

51
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,800
people are fed through your word
and they are encouraged father. 

52
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,500
Maybe they know that they can do
all things through you, the And 

53
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,100
who is in them in Jesus name, we
pray. 

54
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:53,300
Champions, the thing about 
Champions is they are uncommon 

55
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:56,400
Achievers. 
Can you say uncommon Achievers? 

56
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,500
That is why we celebrate them, 
they have committed their life, 

57
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:10,100
to get to the top, right? 
They we often look at what they 

58
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,700
have done to get there. 
But today, I want to highlight 

59
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,000
and look at what they have not 
done. 

60
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,700
Which has position them to be 
where they are now, right? 

61
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:35,300
Jesus himself said not my will 
but your will be done in order 

62
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:41,600
to walk in resurrection power. 
If first means me surrendering 

63
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,300
self, I must share in the 
crucifixion of Christ. 

64
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:49,100
If I am to also partake in the 
resurrection of Christ. 

65
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:54,900
And so Champions have a sense of
crucifying self for the greater 

66
00:04:54,900 --> 00:05:01,900
cause Kobe Bryant often said, 
man. 

67
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:06,300
I don't go out with my teammates
to party after the games. 

68
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,300
You find me back in the gym. 
I don't go on holidays and 

69
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:14,900
vacations with my friends 
because I'm busy becoming a 

70
00:05:14,907 --> 00:05:20,600
master of my craft. 
I say no to the common things 

71
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,300
because I'm in pursuit of great 
things, right? 

72
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,400
And so, Those who achieve 
greatness. 

73
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:37,300
Have the most influence and 
impact. 

74
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,400
And so Christ has greatness in 
mind for his church because he 

75
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,600
wants to impact the world with 
the message of Jesus Christ with

76
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,800
the gospel of Salvation. 
And so he wants people to see 

77
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,200
his church as a winning church. 
But in order for the church to 

78
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,400
get there, it requires 
consecration being set apart, we

79
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,500
cannot move the same way that 
the world moves. 

80
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,300
Right. 
And so, Those who achieve 

81
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:22,100
greatness have most influence. 
And so, Luke, says, Luke chapter

82
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:28,200
12 for everyone to whom much is 
given of him, shall much be 

83
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,700
required and of him to whom men 
and trusts much, they will 

84
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:37,200
require, and demand all the 
more. 

85
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:42,900
And so the higher you go, the 
further, you separate. 

86
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:48,600
And the greater the 
responsibility, right? 

87
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,200
I grew up in a Christian home 
and I was a lukewarm Christian 

88
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:15,100
and eyelid love Jesus. 
But I also was pulled in to the 

89
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:18,700
Temptations of this world, 
right? 

90
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,400
And I was in a vicious cycle of 
man, I would pursue Jesus for a 

91
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,300
week, but then I would stumble 
and fall back in and I was 

92
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:34,500
Desiring change in my life. 
But I was also Desiring the 

93
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:36,900
things that the world had to 
offer. 

94
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,400
I hadn't come to a place where I
was willing to separate because 

95
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:50,400
it's uncomfortable separating, 
but it wasn't till the moment 

96
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,000
that I decided to separate 
myself and join myself to other 

97
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,600
like-minded believers. 
That wanted more, that wanted to

98
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,000
excel, that wanted greatness. 
That is able was able to break 

99
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,100
free of that lukewarmness and 
step into what the Lord have for

100
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:11,600
me. 
And so the higher you go, the 

101
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,300
further, you separate, and the 
greater the responsibility. 

102
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,500
And as a responsibility 
increases, Proverbs says, that 

103
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:27,900
we are to keep and guard your 
heart with all vigilance and 

104
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:31,900
above all that you guard for out
of it flow. 

105
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:37,299
Whoa, the Springs of Life. 
And so this idea is we talk 

106
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:43,700
about a championship life in 
order to live a champion life, 

107
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,200
you must guard your heart, Like 
A Champion. 

108
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:53,900
And we need to understand. 
We are trying beings Body, Soul 

109
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:59,500
and Spirit and the Soul speaks 
to the heart or the mind, the 

110
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:05,200
will, the emotions the choosers.
And so for me, saying keeping 

111
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,400
guard your heart, it's the same 
as saying, keeping guard, your 

112
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,800
mind and pastors been talking a 
lot about the mindset of a 

113
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,500
champion. 
A champion mindset requires 

114
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:25,900
constant examination of the 
heart to handle the pressure of 

115
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:30,200
going higher or as EJ. 
So eloquently was preaching 

116
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,800
earlier, you need to scout 
yourself. 

117
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:38,700
You constantly need to examine 
your heart, examine your mind 

118
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:42,300
and guard your heart and guard 
your mind. 

119
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:48,600
Right. 
Until I prioritize this, I'm 

120
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,400
going to remain lukewarm and 
stuck pressure will expose weak 

121
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,900
points. 
Will it which will expose you if

122
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:05,100
not addressed, as you go higher.
You look at these foundations 

123
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,000
that are being built for these 
high-rise buildings all around 

124
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
us. 
They dig deep deep holes into 

125
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,400
the ground and You're out of 
work for months and it doesn't 

126
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,200
look like they're doing much, 
but they are securing a firm 

127
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,800
foundation because there is 
about to be a great weight, 

128
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,300
built and added onto those 
foundations. 

129
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:37,900
And if they bypass the necessary
process of solidifying, that 

130
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:43,000
Foundation, as that building 
goes higher, it's only going to 

131
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,200
Expose any cracks that may have 
been there from an early stage. 

132
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:56,900
David was known as a man after 
God's Own Heart. 

133
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,200
And David invited the Lord to 
search his heart. 

134
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,400
He says search me. 
Thoroughly o God and know. 

135
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:12,100
My heart. 
Try me and know, my thoughts and

136
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:18,000
see if there is any wicked or 
hurtful way in me and Lead Me in

137
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,600
the way Everlasting Everlasting.
And so, if I were to have a 

138
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,600
title of my sermon, a subtitle 
under of my sermon, it would be 

139
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:36,800
that Champions have mastered, 
the art of elimination that 

140
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,900
after asking the Lord, search my
heart reveal. 

141
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:46,900
If there is anything any cracks 
in my Foundation, a champion 

142
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:51,900
would respond by eliminating 
anything. 

143
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:57,400
Thing that gets in the way that 
hinders them from rising to the 

144
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,600
top them. 
From separating them from going 

145
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,300
higher, they would have zero 
tolerance for anything that gets

146
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:12,800
in the way of greatness. 
Proverbs 4 says above all and 

147
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:18,500
you say above all guard, the 
affections of your heart. 

148
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:26,000
For they affect all that, you 
are pay attention to the welfare

149
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,900
of your innermost being for from
their flows, the Wellspring of 

150
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:40,700
life. 
So, to tie it all together. 

151
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,000
Guard your heart or guide your 
mind. 

152
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:47,600
Because out of it flows, your 
life. 

153
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:54,300
So, in order to walk in the 
championship life, you need to 

154
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:59,400
guard this Championship, bind 
set, this Championship heart. 

155
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:06,100
The condition of your heart 
determines the reality or realm 

156
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,700
that you live in. 
The Bible says that as a man 

157
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:20,800
thinketh in his heart, so is he?
The heart is a product of the 

158
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,200
environment. 
It exists in, right? 

159
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:32,800
We have Windows into our soul or
enter our heart, our eyes, our 

160
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,400
ears, their receptacles, and 
they relay information, which 

161
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:45,200
then in Parts a truth, I didn't 
say the truth, but truth into 

162
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,400
our heart Art and determined 
depending on the environment. 

163
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,600
We place ourselves in will 
determine the information that's

164
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:01,700
being relayed to our heart. 
And a champion understands that 

165
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:08,300
the heart, or the mindset, is a 
product of the environment that 

166
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:15,900
it exists in. 
And we are born with a sin 

167
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,700
nature. 
We inherited a heart that is 

168
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:25,700
deceitful Above All Else. 
The Bible says it wants to do 

169
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:28,300
what the flesh desires by 
nature. 

170
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:34,000
And so we have to be diligent to
renew our mind, or renew her 

171
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,800
heart, right? 
And so who you hang around, or 

172
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,500
the environment. 
That you place yourself in. 

173
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,700
Has a great impact on the 
condition of your heart. 

174
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,700
Champions, take dominion over 
their environment. 

175
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:58,200
They are not victims of the 
circumstances that they find 

176
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,300
themselves in, but they choose 
to place themselves in 

177
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:06,000
environments where they will be 
victorious. 

178
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,400
They're not willy-nilly with 
their plans. 

179
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,100
They are very calculated in 
their day-to-day plants, they do

180
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:22,800
not position themselves. 
Amongst loose living people, as 

181
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,900
they are trying to become Elite 
athletes in human beings. 

182
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:36,100
They don't go to McDonald's with
the boys to grab a Big Mac when 

183
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:39,400
they are. 
Building a body. 

184
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:46,000
That will perform in game seven 
when it comes time to make that 

185
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,400
Championship shot Champions, 
take dominion over their 

186
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,100
environment. 
They take control over where 

187
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:59,600
they Place themselves where they
choose to exist and you have 

188
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,000
that same control. 
You choose the friends that you 

189
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,900
hang around. 
You choose the conversations 

190
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:10,200
that you partake in. 
You choose the church that you 

191
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,700
To join yourself to you choose, 
whether you relay gossip, or 

192
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:19,000
whether you choose to Speak Life
in return. 

193
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,400
About that person, Champions, 
take dominion over their 

194
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,800
environment champions live in 
the realm of winners. 

195
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:47,300
Proverbs 11 says, we're, no wise
guidance, is the people fall, 

196
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,600
but in the multitude of 
counselors there is safety, and 

197
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,400
this is why we cannot neglect 
the Gathering of the Saints. 

198
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,300
Because there is great safety. 
When you're surrounded by other 

199
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:10,099
winners by Champions by those 
who have gone before you in the 

200
00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:15,400
Faith, by those who walk with 
the conviction that Jesus Christ

201
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,800
is the way, the truth and the 
life. 

202
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:30,600
And yeah. 
Champions live in the realm of 

203
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:37,900
winners First Corinthians. 15 
says, do not be misled Bad 

204
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:41,300
Company. 
Corrupts good character, 

205
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,400
Champions, eliminates a 
eliminate hazards. 

206
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:56,000
They don't merely mitigate 
hazards in order to stay on top.

207
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,700
For those of you who don't know,
I work with, I work for BC, 

208
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:04,700
Hydro Monday to Friday. 
I work on high voltage power 

209
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:07,400
lines. 
Most commonly in the city, here 

210
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:14,500
we work on 25,000 V, primary 
electricity, and the main task 

211
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:19,800
of alignment is to safely, keep 
the power on for this city, 

212
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,200
right? 
And so when we're up there 

213
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,200
working on the power lines, we 
actually we're big rubber gloves

214
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,200
and we go Hands-On. 
On it's called rubber gloving 

215
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,600
right there. 
Like big dishwashing gloves that

216
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,500
are very thick and the idea is 
that when you're working on a 

217
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:43,100
power line, you're like a bird 
on the wire as long as you're 

218
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:46,900
only touching one wire at a 
time, you are safe. 

219
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:54,800
But before we go up and do that,
a good Lyman has the ability to 

220
00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:02,500
effectively spot. 
And label all potential hazards 

221
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:08,000
as well, as how we can eliminate
the hazards, and a hazard in 

222
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,600
this situation would be as 
second point of contact. 

223
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,600
So, if I can touch two wires at 
the same time, that would result

224
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,000
in catastrophe. 
If I can touch a ground plane 

225
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,500
like the pole and the wire at 
the same time that would result 

226
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:30,200
in death or loss of limb. 
And so it's important that we 

227
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,800
eliminate the hazard completely,
it is non tolerable to just 

228
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,500
mitigate or minimize it. 
We will shut it down unless we 

229
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:46,200
can completely eliminate the 
hazards, right? 

230
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:53,800
And so if we cannot completely 
eliminate the hazard, we will 

231
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,500
not work on the power, and there
are many Christians. 

232
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:02,700
Students, who desire to handle 
the power of God, but have not 

233
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:07,300
yet learned the art of 
eliminating, the hazard. 

234
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,400
Is too dangerous man. 
Priests back in the day if they 

235
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000
weren't living, right? 
They fell dead in the presence 

236
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:23,400
of God. 
And champions understand man 

237
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:30,200
where I'm going, there's zero 
tolerance for any nonsense. 

238
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,200
I can't be living my life any 
old way and expect to walk 

239
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:44,000
Empower, Romans 14. 
Tells us about the kingdom of 

240
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,900
God or the power of God. 
The kingdom of God is not a 

241
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:55,400
matter of getting the food and 
drink one likes or fulfilling, 

242
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,100
the desires of the flesh, but 
instead it is righteousness. 

243
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:04,700
Can you say righteousness, that 
state, which makes a person 

244
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:08,800
acceptable to God and heart 
piece? 

245
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,900
A heart piece? 
Joy in the Holy Spirit. 

246
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:20,800
To summarize the kingdom of God 
is not food and drink but 

247
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:27,800
righteousness peace and joy. 
The power of the kingdom is in 

248
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:35,500
the heart that protects 
righteousness, peace and joy and

249
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:42,000
so guarding, your heart is the 
same thing as guarding the 

250
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,200
kingdom. 
Walking in righteousness is the 

251
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,700
same thing as expanding the 
kingdom. 

252
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:56,700
Psalm 23 says, the Lord is my 
shepherd. 

253
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:02,700
He leads me down Paths of 
righteousness for his namesake, 

254
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:06,000
right? 
I am benefiting his name when 

255
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,600
I'm walking on the path of 
righteousness. 

256
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:13,900
I'm advancing his kingdom, as I 
choose to walk in righteousness.

257
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,500
Enos. 
Making and maintaining. 

258
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:24,600
Peace is maturing in sonship for
Matthew 5 says blessed enjoying 

259
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:30,300
enviable happiness, spiritual 
prosperous with life, joy and 

260
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:34,400
satisfaction in God's favor and 
salvation. 

261
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,500
Regardless of their outward 
conditions are the makers and 

262
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:45,100
maintainers of Peace for they 
shall be called the Sons. 

263
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,000
Son of God. 
And so Champions eliminate 

264
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,300
stress and distractions to 
function at high level. 

265
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,900
The kingdom is righteousness. 
Peace and joy. 

266
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:19,300
Keeping the joy. 
Brings this strength to succeed.

267
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,900
Nehemiah 8 says, that the joy of
the Lord is my strength or your 

268
00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:32,300
strength and so true Champions 
know how to keep their love for 

269
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:36,800
the game. 
A priority and eliminate factors

270
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,700
that take the joy out of it. 
Many of the great players will 

271
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,500
say, man, I'm when they're 
asked. 

272
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:48,100
When are you going to retire? 
And a lot of them, it's a man, 

273
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:50,600
as soon as I love, I lose my 
love for the game. 

274
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:58,000
But true Champions know how to 
keep the fire burning, they know

275
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,800
how to keep their love alive for
the game. 

276
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,800
The same game that used to get 
them excited when they were 

277
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:10,600
young kids, they still managed 
to walk in that childlike Joy, 

278
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:16,600
right? 
And so as a follower of Christ, 

279
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,200
man, this is essential to know 
that you are Walking in the 

280
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,100
power of the Kingdom, there has 
to be a joy that comes with 

281
00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:30,400
serving the true champion, Jesus
Christ, because, if not, it 

282
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,800
becomes an obligation. 
And that's what the difference 

283
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,700
between religion and 
relationship is relationship, is

284
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:43,400
between a son and their father, 
their father, and their son or 

285
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:53,700
daughter, Champions aren't born.
They are developed through a 

286
00:24:53,700 --> 00:25:00,200
process. 
And this is this process of 

287
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,000
sowing and reaping pruning and 
growing. 

288
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,200
It's this idea of man. 
I'm willing to prune things from

289
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,600
my life for the sake of growing 
or developing myself. 

290
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:20,600
I'm willing to go without an 
order to go in order to hone. 

291
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,800
I don't need to experience 
everything because I got my eyes

292
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,300
set on one thing and I One 
accomplish that to the greatest 

293
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:33,700
of my ability. 
I don't want to be part way in 

294
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:41,100
and so that requires pruning in 
order to grow and sewing towards

295
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:44,200
where you want to go in order to
reap. 

296
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,400
That championship. 
The prize must outweigh. 

297
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:56,600
The purge to not abandon the 
process. 

298
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:11,300
The prize must outweigh. 
The purge to not abandon the 

299
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:27,100
process. 
and I'm still just getting this 

300
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:34,900
right now, but for me, It took a
true encounter with the Living 

301
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:36,800
God, in order to lay my life 
down. 

302
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:42,200
There is a religious leader 
Nicodemus. 

303
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,000
That Couldn't deny Jesus was who
he said he was and he asked, 

304
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,300
man, what do I what do I have to
do in order to enter into this 

305
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:58,700
Kingdom, that you come preaching
about what must I do in order to

306
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,300
walk in this power that I see 
you walk in it? 

307
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,200
What do I do to enter into this 
Championship Ron? 

308
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:11,100
I see that you are running on 
and Jesus replied to him in 

309
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:15,900
order to enter into my kingdom. 
You must be Born Again of water 

310
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:21,500
and the spirit. 
And now being born again, of 

311
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:29,100
water talks about repentance, 
you have to be willing to turn 

312
00:27:29,100 --> 00:27:35,000
from your ways, totally 
eliminate your previous plans, 

313
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,100
totally and turn wholeheartedly 
towards Jesus. 

314
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,200
And trust that he is the way the
truth and the life. 

315
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:52,000
And then secondly, after you've 
After this baptism of 

316
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,300
repentance. 
This receiving Jesus Christ as 

317
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:59,600
your lord and savior, allowing 
the blood of Jesus to wash you 

318
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,600
clean of any sin. 
There is a second baptism and 

319
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,400
that is the baptism of the Holy 
Ghost and Fire. 

320
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:14,900
And it wasn't until I received 
the baptism of the Holy Ghost 

321
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:18,900
and Fire that. 
I didn't understand what the 

322
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:23,400
prize was or I fully understood.
I better understood. 

323
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,200
What the prize. 
Was when I received the baptism 

324
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,500
and I was filled with the holy 
spirit because it no longer 

325
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:39,200
became Theory. 
It became reality. 

326
00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:45,900
I knew that this word was true 
because I experienced it in my 

327
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:53,400
inner most being and it was that
experience that I still walk in.

328
00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:00,600
The power of the holy spirit. 
That is my prize which outweighs

329
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,800
any pain of Letting Go. 
What comes in the way of that 

330
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:12,100
prize. 
And it's, it's that prize Which 

331
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:20,000
keeps me engaged in the fight. 
It keeps me locked in and it 

332
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,900
prevents me from abandoning the 
process because I'm going all 

333
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:29,600
the way up. 
I got no plan B. 

334
00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:38,300
This Is The Life For Me. 
Luke 17. 

335
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:53,700
Asked by the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God would come Jesus 

336
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:57,400
replied to them. 
By saying the kingdom of God 

337
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,400
does not come with signs to be 
observed or with visible. 

338
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Display nor will people say, 
look here it is, or see it. 

339
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:16,500
Is there for behold the kingdom 
of God is within you in your 

340
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:20,700
heart. 
And among you surrounding you. 

341
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:30,600
And I really feel like the heart
of my message here today is to 

342
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,800
let you know that the champ is 
here. 

343
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:44,000
The kingdom is here. the power 
of God is here, it's all around 

344
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,800
you and its surrounding you And 
the main one and one translation

345
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,300
says and some it's within you. 
This translation says it's 

346
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:58,900
within you but it takes 
Awakening. 

347
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,700
To the kingdom of God. 
And it takes a protecting of 

348
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:11,000
your hearts in order to fully 
enter into the reality of the 

349
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,400
kingdom of God. 
And so declare with me, that the

350
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:23,900
kingdom of God is within me. 
The champ is within me. 

351
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:38,500
I will Elevate as I eliminate 
all That tries to separate me 

352
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:44,600
from being the great Champion 
that I am. 

353
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,200
There's a great prophetic word 
that is gone forth of a king 

354
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,600
tide that is rising amongst us 
of a fresh wind. 

355
00:31:55,700 --> 00:32:00,500
That is blowing through US of a 
great demonstration of the 

356
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:03,200
kingdom of God, Heaven here on 
Earth.

00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:11,300
And you are chosen to be the 
move, you are chosen to be the 

358
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:15,100
water. 
You are chosen to be the vessel 

359
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,700
that streams, like living water 
shall burst forth from. 

360
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,500
Revival is here and you are 
Revival. 

361

Amen, less the word that the
