1 00:00:08,760 --> 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 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,680 some tea, and get ready to receive. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:38,840 Let's get into it. I don't want to waste your time. 9 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:46,320 And so in the first experience, we opened up a message that was 10 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,840 called and you can put up the slide in the first experience, 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,840 open up the gates. I, I think this is a powerful 12 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,800 message because it really just dealt with preparing opening up, 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,720 because this is an announcement that the king is here and he's 14 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,840 ready to come in. We didn't invite him. 15 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,760 He made a decision. He was coming, and you might be 16 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,240 like, well, God's always here. Yeah, yeah. 17 00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:13,720 No, no, no, no. We're not talking about God 18 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,960 being present. We're talking about God 19 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:20,000 manifesting his presence. We're talking about God throwing 20 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,040 his weight around to where it's like, oh, that was like split 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,320 the Red Sea. Oh, that was God. 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,240 Ain't no way a little rod gone. No, no, no, no. 23 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,800 Oh, you went in. You went in a fiery furnace and 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,800 came out. You didn't even smell like 25 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,120 smoke. Oh, that was got God throwing 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,960 his weight around. This is that year where God 27 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:43,240 throws his weight around. But there's a responsibility 28 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:49,160 that we have to not only prepare, we can't, Yeah, we 29 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,160 can't prepare because just because we got a word, we have 30 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,560 to stay prepared. We have to. 31 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,240 Stewart, it's like the word of peace, the word saying that you 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,080 are ready to New Year's Eves ago and you didn't realize for two 33 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,759 years God was getting you ready. So he will send the word and 34 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,400 then he will manifest the word, right? 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,800 It's like when you were a little kid, somebody said one day you 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680 going to grow up and you going to be this Troy. 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,680 Well, you for sure wasn't that at 5, and it probably took you 38 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,480 20 years to even come close to that. 39 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,640 But God does not just have you in it without first sending a 40 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,560 word, right? He sent His word to heal our 41 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,520 diseases, right? And so for every God 42 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,360 manifestation, there is a word that goes forth. 43 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,760 Before Jesus came on the scene, there was a man called John the 44 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,920 Baptist, and it's there. Prepare the way, right? 45 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,120 So there's always a word to prepare the way, but now you 46 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,640 have to maintain the word and you have to continue to steward 47 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:04,120 and grow in that thing. And so then this morning it was 48 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200 that it was like God's here. This is this, this is a 49 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760 triumphant moment. The King of glory is coming. 50 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,480 We're carrying his all of those things. 51 00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,880 And then I go to the back and I'm like, but what about that 52 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:18,600 other message? Because I'm like New Year's, 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,520 everybody come ready to be inspired because everybody going 54 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,760 to change their life, at least in the first week, you going to 55 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,600 live your best life. But then I was like a part of me 56 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:41,040 was like, Nah, I don't want to preach that because I know how 57 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,000 people here. But then I got someone gave a 58 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,320 prophetic word last week. I shared it with the elders. 59 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,720 He was like, sometimes we over explain the word, almost like 60 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,920 the word ain't powerful enough. Moving forward, there's going to 61 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,920 be anointed messages that are preach, but you just got to 62 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,640 preach the word and trust the word because you're trying to 63 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,120 explain stuff to people who already made-up their mind JT 64 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,959 They don't want to hear that. So you got to actually just be 65 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:22,280 the I don't think the farmer sows the seed and and just is 66 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:28,480 like insecure about if the ground won't it watch this. 67 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760 I'm a sow the word that's on you if you love God and love 68 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,200 yourself and so 60 seconds prayer in the spirit. 69 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,560 I made a decision to move on to this other message. 70 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,680 You should go listen to this morning's message, but I truly 71 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,880 feel that you will not have a Goodyear. 72 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,640 None of us if we don't get this one thing under right. 73 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,880 Sometimes you got to preach the root message, not the fruit 74 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,600 message, because there's folks in here right now. 75 00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,880 We can talk about opening up the gates. 76 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,160 Like in the back somebody was just like, what you talking? 77 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,400 Was we talking about opening up like real gates? 78 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:20,580 And I'm like, Dang, no, like your mouth is a gate, your eyes 79 00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:23,580 is a gate, but your heart, the throne of your heart, the 80 00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:29,200 throne, the throne of your soul. And it's like, whoa, talking 81 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,960 about opening up the gates. The only way to understand that 82 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520 is somebody that desires a relationship with God. 83 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,600 And what I'm about to talk about is actually in a way of a lot of 84 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,360 you going deeper with Jesus. So should I talk about the thing 85 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,680 that you're going to arrive at one day or give you something 86 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,880 you need to handle today? See, see. 87 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,720 And then what you find out is people actually thank you for 88 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,600 not preaching, you know, people, people, there's a few people 89 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080 that don't like these types of messages, But this is going to 90 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,120 be good. This is going to be good, I 91 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,120 promise you. But today is watch the throne. 92 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,200 No Co host allowed. This is the year of the host, 93 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,400 not the Co host. God does not share Thrones. 94 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:26,120 They're we're not Co hosting. And so watch the throne we hear 95 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,320 the Bible talks about watching over our hearts is watch and 96 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,440 pray. Guard your heart. 97 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:42,040 The earth is the Lord and the fullness of it. 98 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,040 Yeah, the the world and those who dwell in it, for he has 99 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,200 founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the streams 100 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,680 and rivers. Earth is the Lord's who may 101 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,640 ascend onto the mountain of the Lord, who may ascend, who may go 102 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,120 high, who may be promoted, who may get access, and who may 103 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:20,040 stand in his holy place. He who has clean hands and a 104 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:27,080 pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, 105 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,960 nor has sworn oaths deceitfully, Watch this. 106 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:41,600 David is asking who has access? Watch this. 107 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,240 We're all saved, but we all do not experience the same access. 108 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,800 Can you believe that there are believers in here right now that 109 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,000 are experiencing a dark life? Believers. 110 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,760 Which means you are not accessing the Holy of Holies. 111 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,240 You are not accessing joy. You are not accessing peace. 112 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,360 You are not accessing a sound mind, but watch this. 113 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,680 You're a believer and I want you to hear this today, that 114 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,880 everything that I'm talking about, you are hearing this from 115 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,720 a person who has access to light, to life, to joy, to 116 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,799 peace, to strength, to self-discipline, to 117 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:38,640 long-suffering. David is asking who has access? 118 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,760 Watch this. Salvation is settled, but 119 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:51,520 ascension is stipulated.

Watch this. 124 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,400 It's not accessed by every believer, but it's available to 125 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,240 every believer. Watch this. 126 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,920 And you say you love yourself and you going to leave the peace 127 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120 of God on the table.

All you who claim you love you, 143 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,360 All you who claim you want a better life, All you who are 144 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:42,800 praying for a better life. Whose house, who who, who is? 145 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,120 Let's, let's let this be as real as possible. 146 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,680 Who's governing your life? Who's governing your decisions? 147 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,880 When temptation rises, who's making the decisions? 148 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,520 Which one is stronger? Which one do you have a harder 149 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,680 time doing? Watch this. 150 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,240 Some of us have a hard time praying for 30 minutes, easy 151 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:12,800 time stroll, scrolling 3 hours. Watch this if you can't pray. 152 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,880 Watch this if you're if you are more disciplined to scroll, less 153 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,760 discipline to pray. I'm here to tell you, believe it 154 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,560 or not, God is not on the throne of your heart. 155 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,040 And if God is not on the throne of your heart, who is? 156 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,240 And that is who governs your life. 157 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:42,440 So you are insane to expect God results without God governing. 158 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:53,480 OK OK OK OK OK OK. Every house is hosted, every 159 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,600 heart is governed, and every inner life has a throne. 160 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,800 Every person in here has the inner throne, every person in 161 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,320 here. Genesis 3. 162 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:15,360 And when the woman saw that the tree was good, wait a minute. 163 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:23,120 The tree was good, suitable, pleasant for food, and that it 164 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:33,200 was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to 165 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,600 make one wise. She took of its fruit and ate, 166 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,680 and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate. 167 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,320 Watch this. Watch this. 168 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,840 You pass on disobedience. And that's the bad part. 169 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,400 That's why the enemy grip loves to grip believers, because you 170 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,480 can be a believer and help somebody to hell. 171 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,040 Come on, tell your neighbor. Don't get distracted now. 172 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:14,440 And now you get to say it back to them. 173 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,600 You get to say it because some people had too much fun telling 174 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:30,040 you don't be distracted. Yeah, watch this, watch this. 175 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,160 I want to read this one more time. 176 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,880 And when the woman saw that the tree was good, when the woman 177 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360 saw that the tree was good, what was the tree? 178 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:50,600 The fall began with vision, perception, and imagination. 179 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,880 Watch this. We start falling at vision, We 180 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:06,880 start falling at perception, we start falling at imagination. 181 00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:19,830 So it's safe to say that before eating, there was seeing. 182 00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:27,470 Before disobedience, there was desire. 183 00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:34,040 They're going to put it up in a second and before separation, 184 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,600 watch this.

Lust don't show up red hot. 387 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:12,000 Lust doesn't ask to replace God, it asks to sit beside him. 388 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,360 He lets you know it can't replace God. 389 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,200 So he's just like, can you just give me a seat next to him? 390 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,960 Like can I just share your life with God and watch this? 391 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,960 The enemy knows that God. He is a jealous God and he ain't 392 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,640 sharing nothing. Watch this. 393 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,800 The enemy gonna lie to you and make you think you could share. 394 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,280 Knowing God, he watch this sharing create separation. 395 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,400 So the way the enemy gets you to himself is to convince you that 396 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,160 you can share yourself with him and watch this. 397 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,240 We get to it later, but you cannot serve 2 masters. 398 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:04,240 Yeah, Desire was hosted before authority shifted. 399 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,000 You entertained Desire before you gave that seat up. 400 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,520 You entertained desire before you gave that seat up. 401 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,240 Eve did not deny God. What? 402 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,480 Eve did not deny God. She trusted appetite over 403 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:30,000 authority. Come on, EJ, She didn't deny 404 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,160 God. Watch this. 405 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,040 Watch this. I I just want to think a crazy 406 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,640 thought real quick. I don't think God can be denied. 407 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,040 What is the result of you denying God? 408 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,880 What does God like? It's not like if I denied you, 409 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,640 if I rejected you, that God ain't going to feel how you 410 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,400 feel. She didn't deny God. 411 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,600 First of all, God didn't give her the Word. 412 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:14,440 What she trusted was her eyes, what she trusted was her 413 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:20,600 appetite, and what she didn't trust is the authority of the 414 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,640 word passed to her. By the time she got the word, 415 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,560 she handled it with extra words, right? 416 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,560 God simply said don't eat. And if you go back and read, 417 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,240 you'll see in there the word touch got in there. 418 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,960 God didn't talk about don't eat, don't touch. 419 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,240 He says simply don't eat it. So watch this. 420 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,000 So God don't mind. Watch this because sometimes 421 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,600 you'll get to this place. Well, I'm already here, so I 422 00:31:52,600 --> 00:32:00,800 might as well, Joseph, look, hey, like I've I've tried this 423 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,720 muscle over the last couple years plane now I've just gotten 424 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,080 smarter. I'm going to get insurance on 425 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,480 every plane ticket now, but I've I've got a plane ticket on my 426 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,280 way somewhere. And God was like, no, you ain't 427 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,880 going, you can go. But you I don't, I don't, I 428 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,240 don't need you to go. And I canceled the trip. 429 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,200 Now you want to minimize how much stuff you got to cancel 430 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,880 because you didn't listen to God in the first place. 431 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,120 But sometimes there's divine set up. 432 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,920 Go kill your child, Abraham. Nah, I got a sacrifice for you. 433 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,720 So cool. You got the apple in your hand, 434 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,320 but you have not eaten it. You got your pants down, but you 435 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,200 have not done it. You, you, you. 436 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,200 You rolled up the joint, but you have not inhaled it. 437 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,520 You went to the party, but you don't got to stay. 438 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,960 If you stay, you don't got to engage. 439 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,000 If you engage, you don't get like, there's so many steps 440 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,120 before you fall. Watch this. 441 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:05,280 You don't just wake up out of bed and fall when the last time 442 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:15,620 you just woke up and failed. This is such good news to me 443 00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:18,980 because sometime when you're wrapped up in these moments, it 444 00:33:18,980 --> 00:33:22,280 feels so impossible. But God's saying, no, we just 445 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,120 got to you just got to let me be king. 446 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,080 Watch this. Here it is. 447 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,120 Remember those three areas? And then and then John talks 448 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,840 about them. John points back to Genesis for 449 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,600 all that is in the world. The lust and sensual cravings of 450 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:49,920 the flesh, the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful 451 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:56,080 pride of life, the pretentious confidence in one's resources. 452 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:01,760 Watch the wisdom or in the stability of earthly things. 453 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,800 These do not come from God, but are from the world. 454 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,000 Wisdom is great. He is wisdom. 455 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,520 But living off your own wisdom ain't wise. 456 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,080 That's not wisdom. He's like, that's not from God. 457 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,560 I am not going to bring you something that is going to take 458 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,880 me off the throne. And how many times have you 459 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,679 called something a blessing and a dethrone God? 460 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:41,360 So now your testimony to people is God that did this for you, 461 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,600 but now God is off the throne. What kind of witness is that? 462 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,320 Just say you begged for it, you worked for it, you wanted it, 463 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:55,639 you desired it and it sucks you here, but stop putting stuff on 464 00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:59,320 God. You got what your watch this, 465 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,200 some of you got what you desired watch this, but the verse was 466 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,760 flipped. It was seek my desire 1st and 467 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,120 then all the seeking God later. It was it was desires of my 468 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,240 heart 1st and then I'll delight in you. 469 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,480 And if you don't hurry up and bless me, I'm going to be bitter 470 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,880 with you. I ain't going to delight. 471 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,560 God is saying what you desire. I actually have a better version 472 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:32,280 of it for you if you can just wait. 473 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:40,320 Why are we saying that? Wait on the Lord Genesis, lust 474 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,760 of the flesh, good for food. It's right there. 475 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,680 Watch this, this at the beginning of the Bible and at 476 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,840 the end of the Bible. It's in real action, prophetic 477 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,120 action. Watch this and then it is here 478 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,560 in principle form. Watch this. 479 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,880 Adam and Eve didn't really have this understanding that you have 480 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,280 lust of the eyes, delightful to the eyes. 481 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,360 I know, I know, I know they look good. 482 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,960 I know you awakened your flesh and it feels good. 483 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,680 I know your body is calling, but but we have great examples in 484 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,400 the world where you end up when your body is calling. 485 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,520 Yep, not going to even go there.

God wants nothing to do with 534 00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:39,740 lust guys. Lust is desire that seeks 535 00:39:39,740 --> 00:39:44,860 fulfillment apart from God's will, God's timing, or his rule. 536 00:39:45,140 --> 00:39:50,660 Lust is desire that seeks fulfillment apart from God's 537 00:39:51,760 --> 00:40:03,900 wheel, timing or rule. God wants nothing to do with 538 00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,300 lust. Watch this. 539 00:40:06,460 --> 00:40:11,860 Lust begins inside, not outside. It is internal desire pulling 540 00:40:11,860 --> 00:40:15,300 away from God's authority. Look at what James One says. 541 00:40:15,420 --> 00:40:19,660 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and 542 00:40:19,660 --> 00:40:25,380 baited to commit sin by his own worldly desire. 543 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:33,560 There's desire before sin, you can stop it. 544 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,080 That that length of time where God is sending warning and you 545 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,640 getting distracted, you can stop it. 546 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,400 No no no, it's not about feeling like stopping. 547 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,360 It's about by faith, stopping, trusting God, stopping. 548 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,640 It's about believing My stopping is not for me. 549 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,520 My stopping is for y'all right here. 550 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,680 It is why you can't stop. It's because your why is not big 551 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:06,000 enough. Lust is desire without 552 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,640 restraint. Lust is appetite without 553 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,000 authority. Watch this. 554 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,520 I thank God like like my wife and and her Mama used to get on 555 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,680 my leg. Watch this. 556 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,640 I used to, I used to get high to stay high, not have to come home 557 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:26,480 high and my wife is just wearing disappointment, right? 558 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,520 Like there's nothing. Fellas, you understand what it 559 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,240 feels like when you walk in the house and your wife is looking 560 00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:32,880 at you like you just a disappointment. 561 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,720 Watch this. And then you just get offensive, 562 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,200 not realizing the blessing that God, your wife is a boundary. 563 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,480 Your husband is a boundary. Watch this. 564 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,080 God is convicting her about you because he can't convict you 565 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,280 about you. God convicts Mamas about you 566 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,320 because he can't convict you about you. 567 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,960 So he got to in order to keep The Word Alive in the bloodline. 568 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,560 He got to get it to somebody He can get it through. 569 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,720 So you don't understand your nagging wife or husband is a 570 00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:14,680 boundary sent by God. It is a preservation. 571 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:19,160 It is salt in your house, even if they communicate salty. 572 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,960 Watch this. And then here it is. 573 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,000 We don't want to misrepresent God, people. 574 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,920 So this is where you got to do better this year. 575 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,960 You got to stop being agitated communicating God's will to your 576 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,680 spouse because God's not mad at them. 577 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:40,160 God desires them and the way you trying to get them to stop does 578 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,960 not sound like God is desiring them. 579 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:53,560 Yeah, so when I stopped, it was like, man, I got a daughter. 580 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,960 I'm stopping so my kids don't have to deal with this. 581 00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:05,360 I'm getting this out of my bloodline because anybody that's 582 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,960 doing it can look back to why you started doing it. 583 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,680 Rather it was a person or an event. 584 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,480 You didn't come out the womb with a joint. 585 00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:18,200 Maybe some of y'all did.

Lust is not noticing, it is 633 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,680 intending. Lust is not that I notice 634 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,640 something I desire, it is the intention to possess it. 635 00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,240 You notice the message is not it, it's not kill desire or the 636 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:02,680 words not kill desire. It's watch the throne. 637 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,040 It's not kill desire. Don't kill desire. 638 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:17,490 That's hope deferred. It's it's watch the throne. 639 00:47:20,450 --> 00:47:24,290 To Jesus lust is a throne threat. 640 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,160 To Jesus lust is a throne threat. 641 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,080 Watch this, watch this, watch this is Jesus talking. 642 00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:42,800 However, I say to you, y'all listening, if you look with lust 643 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:53,200 in your eyes at a woman or a man who is not your wife or your 644 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:59,520 husband, you've already committed adultery in your what 645 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,880 heart. Watch this if your right eye 646 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,400 seduces you because some people only got 1. 647 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,560 You know what I'm saying? So your right eye seduce you, 648 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,240 your left eye seduce you, both eyes seduce you. 649 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,120 All you need is one eye for it to come through. 650 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:26,920 Watch this if it seduces you to fall into sin, then go blind in 651 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,800 your right eye. This Jesus talking, you think 652 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,760 he's serious? For you're better off losing 653 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,160 sight in one eye than to have your whole body thrown into 654 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,960 hell, right? Right. 655 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,240 I know we're not in the fear of God culture anymore, but that's 656 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,160 that's Jesus talking. This is not a metaphor. 657 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,360 This is not a parable. This is truth. 658 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:57,680 He says you are better off plucking that eye out then to 659 00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,880 have your whole body. In other words, your sight 660 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:07,600 impacts your temple. The eye watch it governs vision 661 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,080 and vision shapes desire and desire determines direction. 662 00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:17,480 This is not self harm, right? So nobody go home and pluck the 663 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,480 eye out and say Pastor T told you to pluck your eye out. 664 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,720 Just like people be carrying snakes around and all that. 665 00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:24,400 None of that's not what we talk about here. 666 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:33,200 This is self-discipline. Stop it at the seeing because 667 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,360 once desire is enthroned, action is inevitable. 668 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:43,320 You're not going to stop it once it's on the throne because it's 669 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,040 king. The eye is not a passive muscle. 670 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,880 Watch this. The eye is a gate, a governing 671 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:55,160 instrument. It's the lamp to the system. 672 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,000 It's the windows to the soul. This is not behavior management, 673 00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,160 people. This is the throne. 674 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,920 This is throne protection. Stop it at the sea. 675 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,920 We're not asking you to modify behavior. 676 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,240 We're asking you to protect your heart. 677 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,080 God is not after behavior modification. 678 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,320 He's after exclusive rule in your life. 679 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,640 Somebody say exclusive here it is. 680 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:34,440 Hands act eyes, host hands act eyes host hands. 681 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:39,760 Do the work that my eyes gave permission to do. 682 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,600 My eyes are the gates. Sometimes it's best to close 683 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,760 your eyes. But watch this. 684 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,720 You got to get to a point where you don't got to keep closing 685 00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:53,560 your eyes like like like fellas watch it. 686 00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:57,840 Stop putting it on the ladies to not wear certain things so you 687 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:09,600 not tempted and ladies decide what you're going to wear not 688 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:14,520 for attention, not out of insecurity and and not selling 689 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:23,720 yourself a man that finds a wife so he's going to find you God's 690 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,720 God's watch this you want to be revealed, not exposed. 691 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,680 Like everybody got a Tesla now everybody got a Bugatti or 692 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,560 everybody knew you, you right, right. 693 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,920 There's comes a point where you just a dime a dozen and if you 694 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,120 sell yourself cheap, guess what? You're replaceable. 695 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,440 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to just be one of them 696 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:57,450 ones that you can't be found nowhere fellas too. 697 00:51:57,450 --> 00:52:00,530 Same same way both ways. God does not Co host with lust. 698 00:52:01,050 --> 00:52:04,850 God does not Co host with pride, nor does God Co host with the 699 00:52:04,850 --> 00:52:08,320 flesh. And as we approach this fast on 700 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:12,240 Tuesday, we fast not to earn God but to clear the throne. 701 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,960 We're fasting to clear the throne, not earn attention from 702 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,480 God. If you lose weight but flesh is 703 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:32,970 still on the throne, then you lost and you can just see it in 704 00:52:32,970 --> 00:52:36,850 the Bible. Job made a covenant with his 705 00:52:36,850 --> 00:52:40,970 eyes. He said I made a covenant with 706 00:52:40,970 --> 00:52:44,400 my eyes. Job governed vision before 707 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,880 desire ruled. Watch it. 708 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,440 Paul governed flesh. He said I discipline my body. 709 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,040 These are three areas that got to be disciplined. 710 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,560 Authority but not abuse. And then King Nebuchadnezzar 711 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,200 dealt with his pride, lifted himself, lost the throne, 712 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,720 humbled himself and was restored. 713 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,680 This is very important. Thrones are reclaimed through 714 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:20,440 surrender, not merely prayer. Thrones are reclaimed to 715 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,720 surrender. Watch this God's not going to 716 00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:25,520 come take the throne. You are going to give him his 717 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:30,800 seat back. The Lord of Hosts is not a 718 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,160 visiting deity. He is a territorial ruler. 719 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,600 He is territorial. You are his and when God 720 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,840 reestablishes weight, lust loses gravity and flesh loses volume 721 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:49,800 and pride loses his seat. I'll leave you with this 5 keys 722 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:58,360 to overcome King lust. Number one, crucifixion, not 723 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,800 management. Watch what the scripture says. 724 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,680 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh, not 725 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:12,720 managed it. In in the church we try to find 726 00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:17,400 out what we can get away with. No, what you're saying is I want 727 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,440 to do beer and Bible study. Oh you're trying to share the 728 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,560 throne? But I watch this. 729 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,960 Drinking beer and reading the word is not going to send you to 730 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:32,320 hell, but it could sign off on your Co worker being an 731 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,160 alcoholic because you can sip it. 732 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,560 You got self-control. But the person you actually 733 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,360 trying to get delivered from alcohol, you actually have no 734 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,960 power to do so because alcohol has you. 735 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,400 You're like let me let me, let me do a bite. 736 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,160 We going to go out. No, no, no, no, I'm going to 737 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,080 wear some Air Force ones when I go witness to this young man. 738 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,800 I'm not we I'm not because I know he can, he can connect with 739 00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,880 the drip. I'm not, I'm not going to smoke 740 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,160 a joint with him. And then at the end of our 741 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,920 meeting, I'm going to pray, Lord, deliver him from, from, 742 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,320 from, from, from, from, from marijuana, and then try to try 743 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:14,520 to cast out demons. That got me. 744 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:17,560 Yeah. Watch this. 745 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,600 You have no power from a place that you're entertained by. 746 00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:26,760 So another reason why I stopped what I stopped is because I dare 747 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,560 not in my calling have people in here who struggle with certain 748 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,400 things. Kids losing their parents over 749 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,120 drugs and alcohol, marriage is being broken up. 750 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,720 And then I'm going to have ability to pray for you. 751 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:45,440 No, me and my wife said no. We had a good time. 752 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,880 We got some memories from being in the club. 753 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:58,600 She could throw down me anyways, like, but we could not as much 754 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,360 as you. At the end of the day, if I told 755 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,120 you I'd just still drink and I still smoke and I still did, you 756 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:04,320 would look at me funny. But why? 757 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:05,560 You don't look at yourself funny? 758 00:56:12,870 --> 00:56:15,110 I feel, I feel freedom in this place. 759 00:56:17,350 --> 00:56:21,430 The flesh is not rehabilitated. It's executed. 760 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,520 You stop playing with your flesh. 761 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:27,520 For some of you know, all of you. 762 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,400 It is really urgent. Don't be afraid to make a 763 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,880 decision. Cut it off, Right. 764 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,080 You don't play with Jezebel. You push her out the window, 765 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,280 right? And the dogs come eat her right. 766 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,320 That they wouldn't. The horses trample over. 767 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:43,120 It's not. Why? 768 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,320 No, no, no, no. You don't play with your flesh. 769 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,760 I've.

God let me do these last three 774 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:03,280 shows and I'm going to quit drinking and smoking forever on 775 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:09,720 the way to that last drink. Lost cars, the marriage didn't 776 00:57:09,720 --> 00:57:11,000 get better. Nothing. 777 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:18,000 No, it's like a today decision. Watch this. 778 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,680 Look around you. And then you say, man, I love 779 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,160 this person. I love that person. 780 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:27,920 Are they worth a today decision? Watch this. 781 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:33,760 You said I do in one minute for a lifetime. 782 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:41,360 You had a party one day. You don't think you can make a 783 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,560 decision to give your life to somebody for a lifetime? 784 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,520 That's a big decision to give your life to Jesus, who you've 785 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,680 never met. Huge decision. 786 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,560 You don't think you can walk away from that thing today? 787 00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:58,400 Will it be hard? Yeah. 788 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:00,760 Can you do it? Yeah. 789 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,480 Why? Because he is on the throne. 790 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,280 You do not negotiate with what was crucified. 791 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:15,080 You enforce the verdict. So make a decision today. 792 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,840 I'm no longer negotiating with you. 793 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:18,880 Nope. Not one more day. 794 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,840 Nope.

I'm done. 798 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,080 I'm giving this person authority in my life. 799 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,760 You have a right to to check me. You have a right. 800 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,320 The greatest thing I could have did is give my wife start 801 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,680 listening to to my wife. Watch this. 802 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,760 My Mama right there. My my Mama used to. 803 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,280 My Mama used to call me. Be like where you at, son? 804 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:48,840 Grandmama used to call me, my Mama used to call my wife and my 805 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:53,480 wife not really tell on me, but kind of slickly tell on me 806 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,000 because she'd be like where Terence had, I'm assuming that's 807 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,880 how the conversation went. And my wife would be like he out 808 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,760 there again, dah dah, dah. Because she tried to be 809 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,360 respectful. She's not going to disrespect me 810 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,960 to my Mama, right? But then my Mama would call me 811 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:11,160 and be like, son, you can't do this. 812 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,640 You got that good woman at home. You got a child. 813 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,640 That's a boundary in my life. The moment you start ignoring 814 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:31,920 boundaries that God sent, it gets darker and darker. 815 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,760 God wrote your story, so he's invested it to realign you. 816 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,360 Because I used to look at my wife sometimes my mom. 817 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:54,920 Oh my y'all hating on me right reasonable desire, but I'm not 818 00:59:54,920 --> 01:00:00,000 everybody else. Mom mom, God gave me a a a a 819 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,320 woman of God for a Mama. God gave me a woman of God for a 820 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,360 wife. Watch this with her mistakes 821 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:15,400 with how she tell me sometime but I have to put look past how 822 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,040 she's saying it and listen to what she's saying. 823 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:23,120 And is what she's saying bad, or is it for our good? 824 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,240 And I've come to benefit from her trusting me. 825 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,560 I've come to benefit from her feeling safe around me. 826 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,400 I've come to benefit with her being able to honor me because I 827 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,160 am a real man now. Back then, I was a little boy. 828 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,200 So is it hard? Yeah. 829 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:50,800 But is it fruitful? Yeah, my son gets to look at his 830 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,120 dad and understand what worship looks like. 831 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,640 He does not have watch this. My son does not have to look 832 01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,520 outside his address for integrity. 833 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,800 Watch this, watch this. Whether you like it or not, if 834 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,160 you are not the image that God has called you to be there are 835 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,840 areas of your children's life that will they will be parented 836 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,280 by others. Even if it's not directly and 837 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:20,040 I'll be gosh darn, my wife get attention from another man. 838 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:25,600 My wife feel heard from another man and that's not out of fear. 839 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,840 I'll be gosh darn my son can't come home and have somebody to 840 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,720 talk to. He can't look at me and get an 841 01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,040 example of what worship is that will not happen. 842 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,760 Now everybody else. JT is icing on the cake. 843 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,640 Troy is icing on the cake. EJ is icing on the cake. 844 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,760 My son comes up here and he rapping. 845 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,000 You ask him if he really rehearsed. 846 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,640 He didn't really rehearse. He's been in it. 847 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,720 He's watched. He's watched me rehearse. 848 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,920 What if I wasn't that exact? He's called to rap. 849 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,920 What if God allowed me to rap long enough for my son to catch 850 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:13,120 the vision? So I'm gonna have, I'm gonna 851 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,560 pass the baton. But if I wasn't, if that vision 852 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,520 wasn't in the house, it might be a little Uzi. 853 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:22,760 And then God got to realign it, right? 854 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:27,440 What if what God is asking you to correct is because God needs 855 01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,760 your son or your daughter to have the image in the house? 856 01:02:38,270 --> 01:02:40,190 That's the same. We are image bearers. 857 01:02:44,590 --> 01:02:45,630 There's three more. I'm not. 858 01:02:45,670 --> 01:02:48,440 I'm not. I don't want to rush them, but 859 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:55,400 where image bearers, so the same way I look at Jesus to align my 860 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,360 image and likeness with him is the same way we do with each 861 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:03,640 other's. Look at Elder John, it might be 862 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:07,320 you might struggle in finances, but you got somebody to look at 863 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,520 and see how they handle finances and you got to ask them 864 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:14,080 questions, right? That's where a body so we help 865 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,320 each other. So your why has to not just be 866 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,160 because you need to do better. It's because there's other 867 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,320 people that need you to become who God's called you to be. 868 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:37,720 Lord Jesus, we thank you, we honor you, we adore you, we 869 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,720 thank you. You have the throne of our 870 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:48,160 hearts. You have permission to rule and 871 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,200 reign in our lives. So take your seat today. 872 01:03:54,040 --> 01:04:00,800 Take your seat today.

Lord forgive us where we may 875 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,400 have pushed away people you've put in our lives to help us, to 876 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:24,760 guide us. We say thank you for good wives, 877 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:33,920 even if they say it rude sometime thank you that they 878 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,320 would say it because we got friends that won't say nothing. 879 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,800 So may we hear what you're saying through it, not be 880 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:51,280 offended how it was delivered. Lord, may we be family members 881 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:55,680 and friends that honor one another, because when we honor 882 01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:59,320 one another, Lord, God, that's honoring you, that is bringing 883 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,600 worship to you, loving our children, loving our neighbors, 884 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,360 loving our our spouses, it's honoring you, Lord God. 885 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:14,440 So Lord, as we enter this fast on Tuesday, we make room for the 886 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,440 king. Come on, we make room for the 887 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:24,640 king. Lord, this will be the most 888 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:34,920 disciplined year of our lives. This will be a year where we 889 01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:41,000 have more courage than we ever have, Lord. 890 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,560 This will be a year where we throw some things on the altar 891 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,120 and leave them there once and for all. 892 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:49,400 Hallelujah, once and for all. Lord, we thank you that that bad 893 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:54,080 habits will be thrown on the altar once and for all, even 894 01:05:54,080 --> 01:06:00,040 things that were good, but you have no need for them anymore. 895 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:06,640 We lay it on the altar. It was good, guys. 896 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,680 It was good. It was a good desire. 897 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:17,440 But I promise you the King of Glory has a better version than 898 01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:22,120 what you're imagining right now. Just lift your hands up by 899 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,920 faith. And I'm here to encourage you. 900 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,040 You can.
