00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,440

We're super glad you're joining

water, get some coffee, maybe 

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,640
some tea, and get ready to 
receive. 

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,680
It's go time. 
Let's get into it. 

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,400
So I think it was Friday or 
Saturday. 

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,680
I went to do a wedding and over 
over. 

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,480
On the island. 
And my wife and I was having 

12
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:37,680
lunch right before the wedding. 
She went upstairs and as I was 

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,320
sitting there, it was like 
husband and wife and a little 

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,160
boy. 
He had to be maybe like 5, 

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,480
something like that. 
And he was playing like little 

16
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:49,800
kids do. 
Parents are talking. 

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,760
A little kid just kind of 
entertaining itself. 

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:00,880
It was a moment he said holy, 
but he said it in the cadence of

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,360
the song, the melody of the 
song. 

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:11,760
I was like Nah and. 
He was like, holy there is. 

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160
And he was just joking around 
and he was just kicking around 

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:21,400
and rolling around in the chair 
and I didn't look back. 5 

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,040
minutes went by. 
Holy and he's just. 

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,400
Beginning to grip my heart 
because I'm like, then I look 

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,360
back and I saw him. 
He was just singing it while he 

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:35,720
was playing holy, like really 
loud in public. 

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,560
If it was an adult, you would 
have told your friend to be 

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,360
quiet. 
But you can't enter the Kingdom.

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640
And I look at us sometime in 
service and we're just like, 

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,160
holy, here's a little kid. 
That's why he says don't, don't,

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,480
don't mess with my kids holy. 
And that's all he said. 

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,520
And so I was just like, and he 
sang a little bit more dear and 

33
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,560
like he, he could barely speak 
straight, but he was that 

34
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,160
melody. 
And then I couldn't find the 

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,560
lyrics because Sunday I was 
going to come up here and sing 

36
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,760
it because it hit my spirit so 
strong. 

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,440
And so I went to look up the 
lyrics and I thought it was 

38
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,160
build, build, build your church.
But I knew it was build 

39
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640
something, but it's built my 
life. 

40
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,480
And then today it it hit my 
spirit again. 

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,080
I'm like, and it's Sunday. 
I just completely forgot the 

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,360
melody. 
And when he was singing it, I 

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,600
was sitting in my chair and I 
was I was Lord just said, listen

44
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,400
to those lyrics like sing, get 
those lyrics in your spirit. 

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,080
And once you put those lyrics 
back up, these two series that 

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,000
we are on and one we're about to
start tonight is absolutely for 

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,160
me personally, I don't know 
about you, but life changing. 

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,240
It says holy, there is no one 
like you. 

49
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,320
There is none beside you. 
This is the key part. 

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,360
And you're going to hear this 
thing tonight. 

51
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,080
Open up my eyes. 
Not just any kind of way. 

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Don't just open my eyes for what
I want to see. 

53
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,400
Open up my eyes and wonder and 
show me who you are and feel me.

54
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,520
No wonder you didn't let me get 
them worse tonight. 

55
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,560
Yeah, yeah. 
Yeah, I see you, vibes. 

56
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280
I see you. 
And show me who you are and feel

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,280
me in your love. 
Feel me in your love to those 

58
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,000
around me. 
And then it goes to this 

59
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,960
beautiful bridge I will build my
life upon. 

60
00:03:50,440 --> 00:04:12,240
It is, 
you know, I was thinking about 

61
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,720
something. 
When I was thinking, I was 

62
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,920
thinking about, I was like, 
there is absolutely no sound 

63
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,320
like worship music. 
None like like, like the 

64
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:29,640
melodies that God has preserved 
for his intimacy. 

65
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640
There is no sound. 
Like like you can't give me a 

66
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,000
R&B song. 
You can't give me no sound. 

67
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,840
That sounds like a worship song.
Now you can give me sound songs 

68
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,040
in other genres that come close 
to like gospel or some of the 

69
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,160
more pop. 
Sound of Christian music but 

70
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,920
when it comes to worship songs 
like like give me I will build 

71
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:59,760
my life and. 
Come on. 

72
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:28,240
So lyrics aside, God has giving 
you melodies that only move him.

73
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,680
Go, go sing. 
Go sing this song in the store. 

74
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:38,640
Just hum it. 
What should what what should 

75
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
every worship song do? 
At least I don't know at least 

76
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,480
some of the ones we sing like 
they should move you closer. 

77
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Let's let's, let's, let's get in
this word tonight. 

78
00:05:52,200 --> 00:06:01,160
Father, open the eyes of our 
hearts. 

79
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,320
I can't speak for nobody else, 
but I want to see you. 

80
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,280
But then there's a part of me 
that feels kind of elementary 

81
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,440
saying I want to see you because
the song we just said is there's

82
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,320
evidence all around. 
And I was going to read a minute

83
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,120
ago, Genesis, he says now it is 
finished. 

84
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:30,600
And he rested. 
The evidence of heaven is all 

85
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,680
around. 
That's you. 

86
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,080
And it's crazy. 
We look at the mountains and the

87
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,560
seas and we're like, wow. 
But when's the last time you 

88
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,920
looked in the mirror and was 
like, wow, before you put makeup

89
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:53,200
on, before you lose that weight,
you like, wow because it wasn't 

90
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,280
finished. 
The oceans, the seas, the the, 

91
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:02,360
the mountains, the trees. 
It wasn't finished until you was

92
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,560
created. 
Amen. 

93
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,240
Let's that go over people's 
heads. 

94
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,320
Hallelujah. 
Lord give us eyes to see and 

95
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,040
ears to hear tonight in Jesus 
name, Amen. 

96
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Hallelujah. 
Y'all can sit down. 

97
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,960
I am not fooling with y'all 
tonight, Hallelujah. 

98
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:30,880
I would, I would advise you to 
take off, not take off, but to 

99
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,360
take out notebook, recorder 
something. 

100
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,000
More than anything, I pray that 
you open your heart, open your, 

101
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,440
your, your eyes to see. 
Father, we thank you tonight for

102
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,040
eyes to see and ears to hear. 
We come against the spirit of 

103
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,280
error. 
And we just declare, Lord, that 

104
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,400
if error tries to creep in, it 
will be exposed. 

105
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,520
I thank you, Father, for your 
anointing upon Your servant. 

106
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,840
And I thank you, Father, that 
this message will be preached 

107
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:23,080
with simplicity, power, clarity,
and anointing. 

108
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:30,600
Holy Spirit, I need you to 
deliver your word, so I 

109
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,640
surrender to you now in Jesus 
name, Amen. 

110
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:58,140
Amen. 
Before I left, I said I remember

111
00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:01,300
it was a Wednesday night and I 
believe the Lord just kind of 

112
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,840
touched me and was just like, 
son, my people. 

113
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,720
I miss the days where people 
knew how to walk with me. 

114
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:24,560
I miss the days where people 
really passionately pursued me 

115
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,920
and we got to understand that 
times have only gotten busier. 

116
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,560
Are y'all with me today? 
Do we need to have some warfare?

117
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:41,800
Prayer and we good. 
All right, times are. 

118
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,680
Busier. 
Nothing we can do about that. 

119
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Distractions. 
Are. 

120
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,640
Easy to come by. 
You wake up. 

121
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,000
We are tempted by distraction. 
What's that distraction? 

122
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:04,560
Phone, emails, computers, food 
for us, when the sun come out, 

123
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:09,160
we're distracted by the sun. 
The sun is a distraction here in

124
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:17,080
British Columbia, right? 
And then social media has opened

125
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,440
a door to so many. 
I was telling my son the other 

126
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,760
day, you do understand that our 
brain is a processor, right? 

127
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,680
So it's a processor like if you 
see that little beach ball on 

128
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:30,520
the computer when you when it's 
kind of overwhelmed, overloaded,

129
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,600
it's trying to process. 
And whether you process it or 

130
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,480
not intentionally, everything 
you see your brain is 

131
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,560
processing. 
So every time you scrolling, it 

132
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,000
doesn't matter if you stop, it's
processing. 

133
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,680
And there's things that your 
mind is processing that you're 

134
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,720
not aware that you're processing
and you wonder why you respond 

135
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,720
to pressure the way you do. 
You wonder why someday you just 

136
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,320
wake up and why do I feel 
depressed? 

137
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,920
We're not great at watching over
our soul. 

138
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000
We're not great at guarding our 
hearts. 

139
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,320
We just kind of live. 
And when we pray, it's like 

140
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,600
we're sending mail. 
Prayer is less about communion 

141
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,120
and more about sending requests.
Am I talking to anybody tonight?

142
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,800
I ain't got deep yet, OK? 
So talk to me because it's going

143
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,720
to be a time where you really 
need to be quiet, OK? 

144
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,080
And, and, and it's like the 
world is getting darker and 

145
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,120
darker and it's not going to get
lighter. 

146
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:42,080
It's prophesied the world is 
going to get grossly dark. 

147
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:49,280
But the word says that the glory
of the Lord will be up on his 

148
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:57,800
children. 
So the darkness is is in a sick 

149
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:04,640
way good news because Malachi 
talks about, and I may deal with

150
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,480
it Sunday at the end in chapter 
four or something like that, 

151
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,600
Malachi talks about this 
separation happening. 

152
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,120
And we often think, Natalia, the
separation is the church in the 

153
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,080
world. 
The world is already separated. 

154
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,440
The separation is the real 
Saints from the fake ones. 

155
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,360
It's from the sons and 
daughters. 

156
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,960
So the slaves you are about to 
get exposed. 

157
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,480
If you got a bumper sticker 
Christian and you ain't walking 

158
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,760
the walk. 
How will you get exposed? 

159
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Fire pressure is coming to test 
your house and let me that's why

160
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,560
he said if you put the blood on 
your doorpost, the death Angel 

161
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:49,880
will what pass by. 
You can't fool pressure. 

162
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,840
You can't fool the enemy. 
The separation is between the 

163
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:02,600
Saints and the ants. 
The world is already separated. 

164
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,400
He's calling. 
The reason why the separation 

165
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,120
needs to happen is before he 
comes, he has to remove the he 

166
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,960
has to remove the he has to 
remove the confusion from our 

167
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,880
witness. 
So y'all Luke warm ones going to

168
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,920
be completely looking like God 
ain't with you. 

169
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,720
Oh, that sounds mean. 
No, you got your ticket to 

170
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,080
heaven. 
That's all you want, right? 

171
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,400
And then you want to find out 
what you can recreationally get 

172
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,280
away with. 
So He's going to give us away to

173
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,920
our carnality. 
But those that are really 

174
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,280
obedient and following the Lord 
and walking, walking with Him 

175
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,760
and have eyes to see him, we're 
going to see glory. 

176
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,000
Psalm 91 ain't for every 
believer. 

177
00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,760
It's for ones who abide under 
the shadow. 

178
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,680
It ain't for the ones who out 
there just tricking away and 

179
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:07,080
doing what they want to do, go 
on and party and club and 

180
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,640
fornicate and do what you want 
to do. 

181
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,400
Kristen, you got your pass to 
heaven. 

182
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:20,400
But when it goes down, when it 
goes down, there's a separation 

183
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,960
happening between the tares and 
the weed. 

184
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,880
So when we it was very 
important. 

185
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,320
I feel he was like I, I need 
just like the generational know 

186
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,200
about the power of the blood. 
That's why the blood series in 

187
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,440
this church long time ago was 
such a powerful series 'cause we

188
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,360
we talk about the blood, plead 
the blood. 

189
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,960
How you plead the blood. 
Well, go listen to the series 

190
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,600
and you can find out right, 
right. 

191
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,880
How do you plead the blood? 
What's the open heaven? 

192
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,480
We say it, what's walking with 
God? 

193
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:05,640
We hear these things, we hear 
these things, but how many of us

194
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,480
really asked what does that 
mean? 

195
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Because I really want to walk 
with God. 

196
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,160
I'm sorry, but our God, Jehovah,
he not some trick, he not some 

197
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,880
play of play out here. 
We about to just just manipulate

198
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,960
and get our way. 
He like cool you receive Jesus 

199
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,960
awesome the blood got you a pass
you gone you you good you you 

200
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,320
will you will see king Jesus and
you will live an eternal life. 

201
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:41,600
But heaven on earth you will not
inherit the Kingdom like like 

202
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:47,680
like I think it's super dope. 
We can walk in dominion when we 

203
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,720
need it versus when we don't. 
Oh oh y'all didn't hear what I 

204
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,600
just said when Jesus returned 
and we all exist in eternity. 

205
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,880
Ain't no need for dominion. 
Ain't no devil to defeat. 

206
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Ain't no victory to walk in. 
Ain't no walk by faith. 

207
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,400
You don't need faith. 
When we crossover, it's over. 

208
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,880
We're just in like like like 
like like. 

209
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:17,720
Adam didn't need faith. 
He didn't need to defeat nothing

210
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:25,240
until he let defeat in 
Hallelujah. 

211
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,680
Let me stick to the script. 
Say stick to the script. 

212
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:34,920
PT when when when we hear open 
heaven, when we hear words like 

213
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,960
I'm a poor when we hear open 
heaven, Elder John, we think of 

214
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,640
I'm a pour you out a what? 
Oh so me I know more of y'all 

215
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,640
know that. 
Scripture. 

216
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,640
I'm gonna pour you out of what? 
That you will not have what 

217
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,920
room? 
Enough to what? 

218
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,520
Receive. 
When we hear open heavens, we 

219
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,360
think he's going to pour us out 
of what blessing. 

220
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,120
When we hear open heaven, we 
think of Jacob's ladder. 

221
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,680
Oh, this transaction, Look it 
up. 

222
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,400
We just thought the department 
store haven't opened up. 

223
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,520
Blessing. 
Oh, blessing. 

224
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:09,720
Oh, blessing. 
Oh, blessing. 

225
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,240
When we hear open heaven, we 
think of blessings. 

226
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,720
Well, I guess Kevin Hart and 
everybody living under all 

227
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,119
Beyoncé living under open 
heaven, all if if open heaven is

228
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:29,440
based on things. 
So what we doing because some of

229
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,440
it look like like you don't look
like just having. 

230
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,320
Clothes it look like over some 
art Lies it look like it's shut 

231
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:42,520
like like abandoned building to 
live under an open heaven. 

232
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,400
It's less about favor and it's 
more about fervor. 

233
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,080
It's less about blessings and 
it's more about the blessing. 

234
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,280
It's less about inviting and 
more about involving. 

235
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,800
Let me let me. 
Inviting God versus involving 

236
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,800
God is different. 
If I involve Him in all my ways,

237
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,840
acknowledge Him in all my ways, 
I don't invite him, I abide with

238
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,920
Him. 
I don't invite my wife home. 

239
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,040
We abide together. 
I don't invite my wife to bed. 

240
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:27,080
We are involved, understand? 
Amen. 

241
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,280
Somebody say Amen. 
Less about soaking, let's soak 

242
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,080
in the presence of God. 
And it's more about surrender. 

243
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,000
It's these acts that we do that 
we think make us closer to God. 

244
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Give me some pads. 
The Spirit of the Lord is here 

245
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:52,040
knowing not them pads, those 
pads anointed or those paths 

246
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,840
play with your emotions. 
The music tells you what to 

247
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,480
feel. 
It's less about abounding church

248
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,600
and it's more about abiding. 
It's less about you. 

249
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Ready. 
This is going to mess with you a

250
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,520
little bit. 
You ready? 

251
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:10,840
OK, I'll. 
I'll wait. 

252
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,360
OK, there we go. 
Amen. 

253
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Amen. 
It's less about God seeing you, 

254
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,960
and you'll see this later. 
An open heaven is less about God

255
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,480
seeing you, and it's more about 
you seeing God. 

256
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,440
Somehow the evidence of an open 
heaven has become how blessed I 

257
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,320
am, how much God is moving, and 
how much I can feel His 

258
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,560
presence. 
Somehow open heaven has become 

259
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:49,440
about encounters. 
Well, according to Moses, we 

260
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,440
can't handle encounters non-stop
like that. 

261
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:00,600
So how do we exist with God 
without being slain all the 

262
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,840
time, without having to cast 
demons out all the time? 

263
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760
You get what I'm saying? 
Like there's these things that 

264
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,120
have become God is here. 
I'm going to talk to anybody 

265
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:14,160
today. 
I'm not talking to anybody 

266
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,040
today. 
Amen. 

267
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:20,160
OK, Walking with God now looks 
like a land life, an obedient 

268
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,320
life, and an abundantly fruitful
life, a loaf. 

269
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:35,000
It's a life that is LED, It's a 
life that is obedient, and it is

270
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:44,880
an abundantly fruitful Life. 
OK, an open heaven doesn't look 

271
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:51,720
like a pinata, but it resembles 
rivers and streams of living 

272
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,000
water ready flowing from you, 
not merely to you. 

273
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,040
Oh, what we going to discover is
an open heaven is less about 

274
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,120
what's coming to me and what's 
coming out of me. 

275
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:09,320
Come on, it was in my hellish 
days. 

276
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,880
It looked like heaven was open. 
I mean hell was open and not 

277
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,000
heaven. 
You want to know what an open 

278
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800
heaven is? 
Practically open your mouth 

279
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,960
according to the Bible. 
Life and death is in the power 

280
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,600
of my tongue. 
Here he says open your mouth 

281
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:37,080
wide and I will feel it. 
Heaven. 

282
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:40,880
All right, let me back it up. 
Let me back it up. 

283
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Do we want to live under an open
heaven or live for open doors? 

284
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,400
All right, all right. 
Are you with me, Caleb? 

285
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,760
Are you with me? 
Are you with? 

286
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,600
Me, you don't got to put no, I'm
saying, you know what I'm 

287
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,520
saying. 
I got to just find a few people 

288
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,840
who's pulling on the anointing 
and then I'm just going to 

289
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,400
preach to you so the flow don't 
stop. 

290
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:14,520
OK, do we want to live under an 
open heaven or live for open 

291
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:24,080
doors? 
My God, do we want to live under

292
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:30,160
an open heaven or live for open 
doors? 

293
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,320
Now what I feel in the room is 
some people are like what's 

294
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,400
wrong with both here very 
closely. 

295
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,400
We more so live looking for open
doors, opportunities, 

296
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:49,960
breakthrough versus living like 
a citizen. 

297
00:22:54,280 --> 00:23:01,360
What side is the open door? 
Am I answering the knocks or am 

298
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:08,000
I always knocking? 
Am I in the house or am I out 

299
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,960
the house? 
We got to move from bombarding 

300
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,560
heaven and worshiping about an 
open door and come to a place 

301
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:25,360
where my eyes are open, that I'm
saved, I'm delivered, I'm 

302
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:29,160
healed, I'm the redeemed, I'm in
the house. 

303
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:36,800
The prodigal son was like he 
came to himself and realized now

304
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,960
I got to go back home knocking 
when I was the one opening the 

305
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680
door. 
Now I'm the one having to asked 

306
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:52,160
for an open door because I 
didn't understand whose I was. 

307
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,640
K walking Dominion. 
Dominion don't sound like this. 

308
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,400
Where where where you Somebody, 
somebody got some keys. 

309
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:17,680
Somebody got some keys? 
Dominion don't sound like this. 

310
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,240
Dominion sound like this. 
Am I talking to anybody? 

311
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,200
Which side of the door do you 
live on? 

312
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Heaven came to earth because men
saw heaven on earth despite 

313
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,240
their circumstances. 
We'll say it again. 

314
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:00,960
Heaven came to earth because men
saw heaven on earth despite 

315
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,960
their circumstances. 
Like even if God don't get in 

316
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,960
the furnace with me, I'm a still
praising and then because of 

317
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,320
that level of faith and knowing 
God, guess who showed up in the 

318
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,640
fire? 
Heaven. 

319
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:23,800
But heaven was on the other side
of their face. 

320
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:31,560
Stuff like though they slay me 
yet will I or 1000 may fall by 

321
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,160
my side 10,000 at my right hand,
but not but understand he 

322
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:43,360
understands I am in the house so
nothing can penetrate the the 

323
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,640
the the the the the bound of the
Almighty because I'm in the 

324
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,240
house. 
So heaven, OK heaven is a part 

325
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:58,160
of my perception. 
It's a part of my sight God got 

326
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:05,720
there ain't no more heaven 
coming because God shut God's 

327
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,760
here. 
You can look every Sunday, every

328
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,400
Wednesday, different people 
having different experiences and

329
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,000
different people are responding 
to the presence of God. 

330
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:20,240
And some people like what they 
doing, the Christians, what they

331
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,520
doing, they come to this church.
And we met somebody at a wedding

332
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,560
the other day that met us 
already. 

333
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,720
And they came to our church a 
few times and it was like, yeah,

334
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,600
we go to a conservative church. 
We go to it. 

335
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,400
And if you're watching, Amen. 
That was a great testimony here.

336
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,280
We go to a conservative church. 
But when I come to your church, 

337
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,560
I came alive. 
I'm like, well, why you don't 

338
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:47,600
keep coming? 
Why are you not going to come? 

339
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,360
Where are you going to come 
alive and your, your eyes are 

340
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:57,960
open, she said. 
So when we're worshiping and 

341
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,280
when we're leading you, we're 
saying put our hands and put our

342
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,600
hands up. 
We're trying to help your eyes 

343
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,160
open. 
I'm sorry if we get on your 

344
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,880
nerves, but we're trying to help
your eyes open. 

345
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,120
Because if your eyes can't get 
open, then when this word come, 

346
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,680
it's got to go through too much 
to get to the soul of your 

347
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,200
heart, right? 
Praise and worship is about 

348
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,840
tilling the soul of your heart. 
So when this seed get planted, 

349
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,840
it goes in deep. 
So when you leave, the devourer 

350
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,520
won't take the seed. 
You ready? 

351
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,640
Look, look, look, look at, look 
at this mindset. 

352
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,960
Heaven comes to earth because 
men saw heaven on earth despite 

353
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,440
their circumstances. 
Jesus mindset like this, 

354
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,560
although it's only two fish and 
five loaves. 

355
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,080
Bring it here. 
I'm gonna pray over it. 

356
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,080
I see everyone fed. 
Can I talk to this side? 

357
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,200
Over here? 
I see everyone fed. 

358
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,480
So then the God responds to your
sight. 

359
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,920
I know you can heal me if I 
could just touch the him and his

360
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:12,280
garments. 
See, that's why when somebody's 

361
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,920
like man, I'm going to fail and 
then then say you're right, you 

362
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,840
are going to fail. 
Why? 

363
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,440
Because you see yourself as a 
failure. 

364
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,640
Call, call those, he say, call 
those things that be not as 

365
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:28,520
though they what were right. 
What's impossible with man is 

366
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,120
possible with God. 
This man got a thorn in his side

367
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:36,160
and he says this, he says, oh, 
when I'm weak, he's strong. 

368
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,920
It was, it was God resisting 
putting a pacifier in his mouth 

369
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,200
for him to come into the 
revelation that God's not going 

370
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,600
to pacify you because he wants 
to be your stronghold. 

371
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,680
So it wasn't until God, after 
three times of saying, can you 

372
00:28:54,680 --> 00:29:00,640
take this storm, that he says, 
oh, your grace is sufficient. 

373
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,400
So it's when I'm weak, you want 
to show out. 

374
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,080
I just got to be OK with being 
weak. 

375
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:18,880
Ready. 
Wrong with being weak? 

376
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:25,040
Something's wrong Without having
faith, Can I be weak knowing 

377
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,560
he's able? 
Am I talking to you? 

378
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:41,880
Look at this here the art. 
Of walking with God. 

379
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,200
It's the arch We we all, we all.
Heard about the the footsteps 

380
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,240
right when God's carrying us and
then we just see his footsteps, 

381
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,520
right Some people got that in 
their house somewhere or on a 

382
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,240
bookmark or something and we. 
We see God carrying us. 

383
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,480
The art of walking with God. 
I'm going to say this for 

384
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,040
myself. 
Oh, Lord, I want to walk with 

385
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,040
you on a higher level. 
I want to know how to walk with 

386
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,520
my father. 
And that's why sermons like the 

387
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,880
orphan spirit and things of that
nature. 

388
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,560
And, and it's so important 
because if you've never learned 

389
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:29,440
how to be a son or daughter, 
it's going to be hard to be any 

390
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:35,800
other godly role because all the
roles come out of sonship. 

391
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,000
The Art of. 
Walking with God, I want you to 

392
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,840
see here, living under an open 
heaven. 

393
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,760
Come on, say that with me living
under an open heaven. 

394
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,400
Open heaven doesn't look like a 
pinata, but it resembles rivers 

395
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:09,240
and streams of living water 
flowing from you, not merely to 

396
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:14,800
you. 
Luke 3 says this now when all 

397
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,120
the people were baptized, you're
with me. 

398
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:25,760
And when Jesus also had been 
baptized, and while he was 

399
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,360
still, what? 
Praying somebody say the 

400
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,360
visible, Shout it out. 
The visible one more time. 

401
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,960
The visible. 
The visible heaven was what? 

402
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,680
Open? 
The what? 

403
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:48,880
Visible somebody say visible, 
visible 2nd heaven. 

404
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:56,440
The clouds were cracked open, 
and the Holy Spirit descended 

405
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,440
upon him in bodily form like a 
dove. 

406
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:07,960
And a voice came from heaven 
saying You are my son, my 

407
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:20,800
beloved in you I am well pleased
and find what delight pause a a 

408
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:26,760
visible heaven was what open you
ever you ever outside you like 

409
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,560
man Look at that cloud that look
like an Angel. 

410
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,400
Thank you, thank you. 
Or that cloud look like you ever

411
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,960
looked in the cloud and it and 
it's somehow 4 minutes shaped 

412
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,400
like something, right? 
And you saw in the visible 

413
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,560
heavens some type of shape, 
right. 

414
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,000
So there is some activity that's
happening in the physical realm 

415
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,800
to let people know that 
something abnormal is happening.

416
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:07,720
OK, the heavens open and a voice
that is invisible comes out the 

417
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,600
sky, speaking to not John the 
Baptist. 

418
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaking to who? 
Jesus. 

419
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,040
This message is very important 
because right after it he goes 

420
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:25,160
into a season of temptation and 
trial. 

421
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:34,320
Prior to the Holy Spirit leading
him into the wilderness, the 

422
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:49,850
Father affirms him. 
Prior to whether he heard the 

423
00:33:49,850 --> 00:33:56,490
message or not, he was on his 
way into a season of temptation.

424
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:11,679
I don't know about you, but this
blessing to be able to hear is 

425
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:20,040
priceless. 
I guarantee you that he'd much 

426
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:25,480
rather have heard this starved 
and be in some busted up shoes 

427
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,199
and outfit and had no food than 
to be fitted, pleased and 

428
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:35,480
everything everybody not hearing
his affirmation because we're in

429
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,679
our seasons of temptation that 
are inevitable looking good. 

430
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:46,040
We got friends, we got likes, we
got followers, but we don't got 

431
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:53,639
affirmation and there is no 
season of temptation or trial or

432
00:34:53,639 --> 00:34:56,280
struggle that prior to going 
into it. 

433
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:02,160
God wasn't trying to beef your 
confidence of he he wasn't 

434
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,120
trying to invite the church. 
Hey, for three months we teach 

435
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,880
it on faith and then guess what?
Phone going ring. 

436
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,760
Hey can we get a wisdom session 
PT You know what I'm going to do

437
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:19,760
forward to Spotify? 
Because you are never going to 

438
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:27,880
go into a season of trying trial
in temptation without God prior 

439
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:42,960
to arming you. 
What you see, we see an open 

440
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,760
heaven there. 
In that open heaven I didn't see

441
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,920
blessings on blessings on 
blessings. 

442
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:55,360
I saw something very vital and 
simple, the heavens open and God

443
00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:04,320
said I love you. 
Ain't no heaven open to you if 

444
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,880
you came here. 
You are loved. 

445
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:15,800
If you haven't, if you haven't a
hard time hearing God loves you,

446
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,480
believing it, receiving it, and 
being free from man's opinion, 

447
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,840
you came here. 
Everything else will be twisted.

448
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,960
This man went into the 
wilderness for 40 days, 40 

449
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:43,240
nights, hallucinating and all 
his response? 

450
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:53,400
Was for it is written before it 
is written that boy hit the 

451
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,080
devil one more time with the for
it is written. 

452
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,040
And then this time he added 
something else. 

453
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,480
Get behind me, right? 
You understand this. 

454
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,000
This is the get behind me in the
spirit because this was what 

455
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,600
happened. 
This is what happened. 

456
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,400
The enemy. 
The Bible says the enemy left 

457
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,560
him alone. 
You got to see this and he 

458
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,920
waited on the side for another 
opportune time. 

459
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,760
So in the meantime, what if 
Jesus got out the wilderness and

460
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,360
just start goofing around? 
Woo got out that season, Boy, 

461
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,360
I'm a overcomer. 
I'm a overcomer. 

462
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,760
I ain't got to go to church that
much. 

463
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,760
What do you you need me when I'm
booking stuff on Sunday? 

464
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,120
What you need? 
I'm a overcomer. 

465
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,840
The Lord is with me. 
Devil come back. 

466
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,920
He's like, oh, the devil's not 
going to stop me. 

467
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,800
Just waiting for another 
opportune time, right? 

468
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,760
You supposed to go from glory to
glory in the strength, You 

469
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,120
supposed to get stronger and 
stronger faith to fake glory to 

470
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,320
glory. 
Strength, strength after 

471
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,480
strength, strength after 
strength. 

472
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,480
Not just blessing on blessing on
blessing on blessing. 

473
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,160
What about strength on strength 
on strength on strength new on 

474
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:07,280
new on new on new. 
The voice came from heaven. 

475
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,320
Somebody shout out open heaven. 
Look at this. 

476
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,520
Now upon hearing I will go back,
let me go back, let me go back. 

477
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:26,520
So the same Holy Spirit that led
Jesus into the wilderness is the

478
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,720
same Holy Spirit that walked 
with Jesus through the 

479
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:32,560
wilderness. 
It's very important to write 

480
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,080
down and understand how do I 
know the Holy Spirit walked with

481
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:41,960
Jesus through the wilderness? 
Because when he was out of it, 

482
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:48,320
he brought to remembrance the 
word Jesus told us. 

483
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,040
He says Holy Spirit is coming 
and he will bring to your 

484
00:38:53,040 --> 00:39:01,960
remembrance everything I told 
you when you, when you speak the

485
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:11,320
word, you release the Spirit at 
seven say open heaven. 

486
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:19,360
Now, upon hearing these things, 
they, they, the Jews, were cut 

487
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:25,680
to the heart and infuriated, and
they ground their teeth against 

488
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,160
Stephen. 
This was this Deacon. 

489
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,280
Deacon Rona, keep on preaching. 
Deacon Roger, keep on parking 

490
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:41,000
cars. 
They hot at the Gospel. 

491
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:47,760
They hot that in the midst of 
darkness deception in bondage 

492
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:53,840
people are getting set free. 
Look, look, look, look, look, 

493
00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:00,400
look they hot and and and and 
they ready to stone him look but

494
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:07,600
he say but he full of the Holy 
Spirit and what? 

495
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,400
Come on, talk to me and what? 
This is very important. 

496
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,480
This is very important. 
Full of the Holy Spirit and 

497
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:18,480
what? 
Controlled by Him, gazed, Gazed 

498
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,720
he what? 
Gazed one more time. 

499
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:27,280
He what gazed? 
He set his eyes, He gazed into 

500
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:34,960
what heaven and he what saw. 
Remember, that statement 

501
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:41,600
statement in Open Heaven is not 
about Jesus seeing you, it's 

502
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:46,800
about you seeing Jesus. 
We'll get to it in a minute. 

503
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:58,560
Saw the glory, the splendor, 
majesty of God, and he saw Jesus

504
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:05,080
standing at God's right hand 
where he said he would be 

505
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:12,240
interceding. 
Look at this, this word gazed. 

506
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:19,040
He wasn't just peeping at Jesus.
He wasn't just like Jesus, like 

507
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:25,360
carnality, Jesus flesh. 
No, he was like fixed and 

508
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:34,800
because of his fixation on 
Jesus, he saw see, see. 

509
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,280
This is what the enemy wants to 
do is interrupt your gaze. 

510
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,960
He like Lauren. 
I've been looking long enough. 

511
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,840
Then the enemy comes in and 
interrupts your gaze. 

512
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,640
And if he can interrupt your 
gaze, he can interrupt your 

513
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,360
hope. 
And if he can interrupt your 

514
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:03,080
hope, faith is unemployed, 
because faith is the substance 

515
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,480
of things hoped for. 
If I ain't hoping for nothing, I

516
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,280
ain't got nothing to lapse my 
faith to. 

517
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,680
And because of my gaze, OK, 
Isaiah 26 says this. 

518
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:20,280
If you keep your eyes fixed on 
me, I'll give you perfect peace.

519
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,160
It says Garrison around your 
heart. 

520
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,880
This peace will guard your 
heart. 

521
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,000
A peace that guards your heart, 
a peace that frustrates the 

522
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,280
enemy because he can't get to 
you. 

523
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,920
He can't get you frustrated. 
He can't get you off balance. 

524
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:37,960
He can't shake you up. 
Look. 

525
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,360
And he said, look, shout out, 
look, Stephen, Stephen, Stephen 

526
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,000
Stairs. 
Look, shout out, look, I see 

527
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,320
shout out. 
I see, come on, shout out. 

528
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,320
I see one more time, say I see 
the what? 

529
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:59,800
Heavens open. 
Here's here's what I like to 

530
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:07,560
say, Noel. 
Like they wasn't like like they 

531
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,800
like it wasn't. 
We'll get to it in we'll get to 

532
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,520
it in just a few seconds. 
We'll get to it in just a few 

533
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:21,520
seconds, like they wasn't. 
But his gaze led to assault and 

534
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:30,640
then he's like, look, I see the 
heavens opened and the Son of 

535
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,280
Man is standing there at God's 
rights. 

536
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:47,960
What hand the side of authority,
the side of intercession, open 

537
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:55,080
Heaven is when you see. 
Jesus not when Jesus sees you or

538
00:43:55,080 --> 00:44:04,360
does something for you. 
So many of us, Elder John, think

539
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,280
because like a blessing come 
through, that's like the fruit 

540
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:13,840
of I'm I'm in the right place. 
Sometimes you sometimes, 

541
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,320
sometimes you just know 
somebody. 

542
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,160
Sometimes some people bless you 
because they feel sorry for you.

543
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:27,120
Sometime a blessing comes. 
To get you distracted, I think 

544
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,840
it was, Brett told us last week.
The encumbrances are good things

545
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,360
that distract us. 
I don't know if he was here last

546
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,000
Wednesday. 
This is why I just said church. 

547
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,400
Somebody was asking, man, do 
you? 

548
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,120
So when you plan out your year, 
your sermons for the year, I was

549
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,960
like, I can't do that. 
That's fine. 

550
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,160
I get some people, that's just 
how they're wired. 

551
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:53,920
But I can't do that because I 
will probably always be 

552
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,840
switching up something. 
But I'm trying to. 

553
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:01,480
I'm trying my best in this human
experience to to walk with God 

554
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,240
and speak what He needs us to 
hear for the season we're in. 

555
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,960
Look, look, look, look, look, 
look, look, look, look. 

556
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,520
And Jesus said to them, oh 
foolish ones, oh foolish ones. 

557
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,960
Sluggish in what? 
Sluggish in what? 

558
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:28,560
Dull of what? 
And slow of heart to what? 

559
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,680
I'm slow of heart to believe 
because I'm sluggish in mine and

560
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:40,880
my perception is dull. 
Slow of heart to believe, adhere

561
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,080
to, and trust in and rely on. 
Look, everything that the 

562
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,080
prophets have spoken. 
Was it not necessary and 

563
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,040
essentially fitting that the 
Christ, the Messiah should 

564
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:56,360
suffer all these things before 
entering into His glory, His 

565
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:01,440
Majesty and His splendor. 
Then beginning with Moses and 

566
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,240
throughout all the prophets, he 
went on explaining, ready and 

567
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:12,680
interpreting to them. 
He's he's he's doing eye 

568
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:17,160
surgery. 
He this is what good preaching 

569
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,960
does. 
It helps take something that's 

570
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,440
kind that could be kind of hard 
and preaching to you in a way 

571
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,000
where you like. 
Oh, when people come here like 

572
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,840
you didn't preach the Bible, No,
I read the Scripture then I 

573
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,960
interpreted it for the times. 
Or else you can't see God today.

574
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:41,160
You only could see God back then
he say and interpreting to them 

575
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:46,440
in all the scriptures the things
concerning and referring to 

576
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,520
himself. 
This this brother in front of 

577
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,960
him and they still don't 
understand. 

578
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,680
Who do they say I am? 
Who do they say the son of God 

579
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,240
is gave him the answer in the 
question. 

580
00:47:07,290 --> 00:47:11,250
He's like you're going to deny 
me three times, thrice, thrice 

581
00:47:13,450 --> 00:47:15,650
Peter like no, I'm not the day 
come. 

582
00:47:15,650 --> 00:47:17,530
What do you do deny him three 
times? 

583
00:47:21,010 --> 00:47:23,370
I'm about to tell you what you 
about to do. 

584
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,720
Then they drew near the village 
to which they were going, and he

585
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:36,200
acted as if he would go further.
But they urged him, and instead 

586
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,720
saying to him, Remain with us. 
Come on, say, remain with us, 

587
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,640
for it is toward evening, and 
the day is now far spent. 

588
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,280
And Jesus like you, right? 
So he went in and stayed with 

589
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:53,840
them and it occurred that as he 
reclined at the table with them,

590
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:59,120
Jesus reclined like, what's up? 
I'm just trying to give you this

591
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,280
picture because we'd be thinking
Jesus is just like this, like 

592
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,640
statue. 
He chilling. 

593
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,120
That's what he said. 
He chilling. 

594
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,840
He took a loaf of bread and 
praised God. 

595
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,000
He blessed it. 
He said grace and gave thanks 

596
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,680
and asked a blessing and then 
broke it and was giving it to 

597
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:22,920
them. 
You ready when their eyes opened

598
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:30,600
or when their eyes were 
instantly open and they clearly 

599
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,880
recognized him? 
So. 

600
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,920
So in other words, he was 
walking with them. 

601
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,520
He was opening the scriptures to
them, and they didn't still 

602
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:47,000
quite believe it was him. 
He's interpreting the scriptures

603
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,800
to them. 
He was walking. 

604
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:55,360
With them and they still had 
trouble knowing that was him 

605
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,640
because they didn't believe what
he said. 

606
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,640
When their eyes were instantly 
open and they clearly recognized

607
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:17,920
him and he vanished, departed 
invisibly and they said to one 

608
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:22,760
another, we're not. 
Our hearts greatly moved and 

609
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:29,200
burning within us while He was 
ready, talking with us on the 

610
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,480
road. 
And as he opened and explained 

611
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,800
to us the sense of the 
scriptures, Open heaven, huh? 

612
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:46,640
Didn't our hearts burn when He 
opened heaven? 

613
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,600
You wonder why some people when 
they're getting something, they 

614
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,520
shout or they clap or they move.
And then you wonder why when you

615
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,240
get a paycheck or a raise or a 
bonus, you shout and you move. 

616
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:05,000
But you didn't. 
But you didn't shout over 

617
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,520
Revelation. 
You thought. 

618
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,600
You thought the promotion was an
open heaven. 

619
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,880
You didn't know. 
When you got understanding of 

620
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,680
the Scripture, it was, it was 
God open in your mind. 

621
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:25,560
See, we shouting over things 
like like the shout is good, but

622
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,720
it's it's misplaced. 
It's it's like they didn't start

623
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:32,120
shouting until they got to the 
other side of the Red Sea. 

624
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,400
They complained on this side, 
shouting on the other side. 

625
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:44,320
That's good, but it's the wrong 
side. 

626
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:52,680
Why you wasn't shouting when you
couldn't see, Why you wasn't 

627
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,160
shouting when it wasn't going 
your way. 

628
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,840
So I'm a shout when I get stuff.
But when God gives me 

629
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,640
understanding, he sends a 
messenger to break down the 

630
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,640
scriptures in such a way that 
I'm closer to God through my 

631
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,560
understanding than I was when I 
showed up to church. 

632
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,720
I'm going to just. 
Say this to these two open 

633
00:51:13,720 --> 00:51:18,160
heaven. 
Heaven reveals his open Heaven 

634
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,240
is when Heaven reveals itself to
you. 

635
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,600
When, when, when he opens a 
mystery to you that was you once

636
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,800
was locked out of. 
You want to talk miracles? 

637
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,200
Understanding God's heart is a 
miracle. 

638
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,040
See, see, see Elder John, if we 
can get this stuff, he says now,

639
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,040
now at that place, all these 
things will be added unto you. 

640
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,880
Oh, some of y'all going to be 
working 9:00 to 5:00 around the 

641
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,640
clock and you're going to be 
like, Dang, I got to do all of 

642
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,680
this to just get this and then 
PT and elders and then them 

643
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,680
people. 
What what did they do to get 

644
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:01,280
that? 
They just preach, OK, OK, no, he

645
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:10,600
can trust me because I see him 
and they and they said they said

646
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:15,720
to one another, we're not a 
hearts greatly moved. 

647
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:20,960
He opened and explained to us, 
look, then I'm going to go down 

648
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:27,360
from 32 to 45, say 45. 
Then he thoroughly opened up 

649
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:31,320
their minds. 
He so he he he he he left and 

650
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,040
then he he went. 
But then he he showed back up. 

651
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:40,960
He showed back up when they went
to Jerusalem and then he says he

652
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,760
talking to him and he says he 
thoroughly opened up their minds

653
00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:48,640
to understand the Scriptures. 
Now I want you to understand 

654
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,880
this. 
If you keep reading this, same 

655
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,240
Luke that's writing, it's the 
same Luke that started writing 

656
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:58,000
Acts. 
So where this leaves off, Acts 

657
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,760
picks up. 
They go to Jerusalem, He says, 

658
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,200
stay here. 
Well, you got to see this. 

659
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,240
Why? 
Because in Acts 2 we see 

660
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:22,520
Pentecost. 
Pentecost showed up once their 

661
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:27,960
minds were thoroughly opened. 
The open, the open heaven starts

662
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:36,520
within before it happens without
you see here he's ready to go to

663
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,760
you say stay right here and 
there in Jerusalem. 

664
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,320
You start Acts 1. 
They're having a conversation 

665
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,840
with Jesus. 
Is this when the Kingdom 

666
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,600
returns? 
He said don't worry about it. 

667
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,000
The Holy Ghost don't come up on 
you and you shall make you shall

668
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,080
go and be my witnesses. 
And then Acts one goes on and on

669
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:57,480
and then two, it says suddenly 
they're gathered together and 

670
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:04,680
then what happens? 
Holy Spirit falls, you ready? 

671
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,320
And then the scriptures go down,
EJ. 

672
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:12,800
And when persecution came and 
said, they drunk y'all ready for

673
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:18,160
y'all ready for this, They were 
able to stand without 66 books. 

674
00:54:19,720 --> 00:54:23,800
They were able to say, haven't 
you read that? 

675
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:31,920
This is the time, this is the 
promise, because their eyes had 

676
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:39,640
now been open. 
And now once internally you are 

677
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:46,000
open. 
Open the flood, right? 

678
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,520
Let it rain, right? 
You get what I'm saying? 

679
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,200
It's here. 
But we're so Lord, bless me, 

680
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,280
we're so Lord, give me a job. 
We're so external and then we're

681
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:04,120
mad and most of us get weary 
over the lack of external stuff 

682
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:09,720
showing up instead of letting 
the transformation be the fuel 

683
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:15,280
to keep going. 
You ready? 

684
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,840
There is no open heaven without 
an opened mind. 

685
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,400
I'm going to take a sip real 
quick. 

686
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,160
It's warm. 
I take some ice. 

687
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:30,760
Next time. 
I take some ice next time. 

688
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,600
Almost burn my throat. 
Might as well throw a tea bag in

689
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:34,200
there. 
Hey, man. 

690
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:40,000
Hallelujah. 
Hallelujah. 

691
00:55:49,590 --> 00:55:56,030
There is no open heaven without 
an open mind. 

692
00:55:57,030 --> 00:55:59,470
This is why he says seek. 
Here's some here's some very 

693
00:55:59,470 --> 00:56:02,440
foundational scriptures. 
Seek me first and then Romans 12

694
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:07,080
says be transformed and then 
we're going to get to it later. 

695
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:13,080
Ephesians 3 says be rooted and 
grounded so that then this whole

696
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,440
God thing happens and fills you 
up. 

697
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,600
Let's keep going. 
Luke 17 here it is, here it is, 

698
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,520
say inside. 
Nor will people say, look here 

699
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:29,360
it is, or see there's open 
heaven, for behold the Kingdom 

700
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,360
of God. 
Is where? 

701
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,920
Within your what hurts? 
And when we understand that's 

702
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,480
not the boom, boom, boom, boom, 
that's the suitcase, that's the 

703
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,840
soul, that's the mind of the 
inner man. 

704
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:50,600
The Kingdom is within. 
And we keep on trying to, we 

705
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,320
keep on trying to rush God to 
break us through. 

706
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,560
Give me that job, give me that 
smiles. 

707
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,760
Give me all these things that 
when I'm up out of here, they 

708
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:05,840
can't go with me. 
He's a good, good father. 

709
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:15,720
For behold, Kingdom of God is 
within you, in your hearts and 

710
00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:17,840
what's among you surrounding 
you. 

711
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,760
Look, Matthew 6 says, for where 
your treasure, Hallelujah is 

712
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,480
Hallelujah, there will your 
heart be what also Hallelujah, 

713
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,080
That's that. 
That's what you have to 

714
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,680
understand here. 
Let's go deeper in this, where 

715
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:37,400
your investments is, where your,
where your passions are, where 

716
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:45,280
your main thing is, where your, 
your your fervor is, where your 

717
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:51,400
desires are, where your what is 
the one word I'm looking for 

718
00:57:52,080 --> 00:58:06,290
your, your affections. 
There will your heart be also. 

719
00:58:09,490 --> 00:58:13,610
We just, we just finished 
reading that the Kingdom is 

720
00:58:13,610 --> 00:58:16,690
within where. 
It's in our hearts. 

721
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:21,080
Just for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also. 

722
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,720
And if your treasure is in 
worldly things and carnal 

723
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:31,440
things, that's a Kingdom too. 
The Kingdom is within. 

724
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,520
The worldly Kingdom is not out 
here, and the godly Kingdom is 

725
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,200
in here. 
No, your heart belongs to 

726
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,920
whatever Kingdom you pledge 
allegiance to. 

727
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:53,720
Where your treasure is, there 
will be the heart equivalent to 

728
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:59,560
your investment. 
You ready? 

729
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,480
Let's, let's, let's go a little 
deeper with it. 

730
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:07,200
The I No, no, no, no, no, no. 
Go back verse 22. 

731
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:12,360
The I somebody say the I is the 
lamp of the body. 

732
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:20,840
Look, I see Jesus, the eye is 
the lamp. 

733
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:29,840
So whatever I choose to see is 
what lights my life up. 

734
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:37,280
Whoever I choose to idolize, it 
lights my life up. 

735
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:44,360
Whatever I choose to lean on for
strength and encouragement, he 

736
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,720
he ready look. 
So if I lean on a little bit of 

737
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:54,200
booze to take the edge off, then
I only can get the amount of 

738
00:59:54,240 --> 01:00:02,280
edge that booze can take off. 
I'm going to talk to you. 

739
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:06,320
If I smoke a little weed to deal
with my stress, I. 

740
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:11,600
Only can deal with the amount of
stress that my weed is able to, 

741
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,600
and I am subject to how weed 
deals with my stress. 

742
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:23,800
Weed does not have the ability 
to liberate me from. 

743
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:31,400
It has the ability to manipulate
me from but it does not have the

744
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:40,000
ability to free me from but my 
treasure was in the weed. 

745
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:47,960
So God said go ahead and I 
that's why I kept needing it 

746
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,160
chasing the first hit. 
And This is why the enemy got to

747
01:00:51,160 --> 01:01:00,280
come out with more strands 
because it's at a certain point 

748
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,400
that that little Boo Boo weed. 
Now I need some White Widow, I 

749
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,840
need some Peep Firm, I need all 
these different things that they

750
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:13,440
marketed to me based on my need 
and my ready tolerance. 

751
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,680
So I put my treasure in it and 
God leaves me to it. 

752
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,760
And we think, Elder Roseanne, 
because he leaves me to it, he's

753
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:35,200
OK with it. 
Because he doesn't snatch it out

754
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:41,600
my hand, he leaves me to it. 
God is not going to fight for 

755
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,440
your heart when he's already 
died for it. 

756
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,840
Fighting for your heart is low, 
living for him. 

757
01:01:56,710 --> 01:01:58,630
Why am I going to fight for 
something I die for? 

758
01:02:05,950 --> 01:02:08,520
The eye, it's the lamp or the 
body. 

759
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:14,560
So if your eye is sound, if you 
are, if your vision, if your eye

760
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,400
is looking on something stable 
and sound. 

761
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:26,240
So if your eye is sound, your 
entire body will be full of 

762
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,520
light. 
This is why the enemy 

763
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,480
distraction. 
Let me get you over here And oh,

764
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,360
you stressed out. 
Oh, why that UBS package, why 

765
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:36,920
that Amazon package didn't show 
up. 

766
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,600
Oh my God, now you calling 
everybody everybody trying to 

767
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,600
figure out only to sit on the 
phone for an hour and then you 

768
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,560
mad because when they answer the
phone, they didn't help you or 

769
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,800
you waited for an hour, then 
they automatically hung up. 

770
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,600
Hey right, your your treasure, 
your piece is in the package 

771
01:02:55,600 --> 01:03:00,200
showing up. 
You you keep we keep checking to

772
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,240
see if they like the post 
because the piece is in and he 

773
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:08,280
like well what's wrong with the?
Well, OK, seven people liked it.

774
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,160
Who was it? 
Let me go see who liked it then.

775
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,800
When you see people at church 
and you like they wasn't one of 

776
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,880
the people who liked your post, 
you're looking at them like they

777
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,880
ain't even popping. 
They ain't my friends. 

778
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:25,440
You ain't really about this life
where your treasure is. 

779
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:30,280
So if your eye is so is sound, 
your entire body will be full of

780
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,040
light. 
So the enemy's trying to get our

781
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:46,000
eyes off center. 
So then he got us cross eyed. 

782
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,680
Not cross life cross eyed. 
He got us. 

783
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,600
Jesus. 
You can't gaze with one eyeball 

784
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,440
over here and one eyeball over 
there. 

785
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:02,880
That ain't no gaze. 
You're going to bust a vessel in

786
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:07,040
your brain trying to. 
I'm sorry. 

787
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:08,440
You ever try? 
You know what I'm saying? 

788
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,320
You ever that don't work, I'm 
like you ever looking the way 

789
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,640
I'm looking the other way. 
I don't know who you looking at 

790
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,840
you going to make me cross eyed?
You know get it. 

791
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:34,330
Listen, praise the Lord. 
That's how we are in the spirit 

792
01:04:34,330 --> 01:04:37,690
and the enemy knows the enemy 
know in the spirit all that 

793
01:04:37,730 --> 01:04:40,370
cross eyed. 
Let me be right in the middle of

794
01:04:40,370 --> 01:04:41,490
the eye. 
I'm about to eat you right in 

795
01:04:41,490 --> 01:04:42,730
the middle. 
You over here like what's up? 

796
01:04:42,730 --> 01:04:44,170
What that what happened over 
there? 

797
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,280
Wait a minute. 
I was walking straight with the 

798
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:49,560
Lord. 
Now what happened? 

799
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:56,400
How did storm High end up in 
this boat cross eyed, right? 

800
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:02,560
If you walk this way long 
enough, right. 

801
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,160
You saw you got you walking 
these way, pretty soon you're 

802
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:09,560
going to hurt yourself. 
A split decision is never a 

803
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,480
whole decision. 
Split decisions never leave the 

804
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:16,080
wholeness. 
So if your eye is sound, your 

805
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:17,960
entire body will be full of 
light ready. 

806
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,880
But if your eye is unsound, your
whole body will be full of 

807
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,800
darkness. 
If then the very light in you, 

808
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:33,240
your conscience is darkened, how
dense is that darkness? 

809
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:40,240
If darkness gets in your soul to
where your inner man can't see? 

810
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,720
I can't make sound decisions. 
I can't. 

811
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,400
This is why sometimes you end up
in seasons where you get mentors

812
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,080
and leaders in your life. 
You need people in your life 

813
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,920
when you cross eyed somebody 
that could see clear for you and

814
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,000
say stop, we going to sat down 
for a minute. 

815
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,080
OK, You don't need to serve. 
You've been serving cross eyed. 

816
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,240
You've been married cross eyed. 
You've been working cross eyed. 

817
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,560
You've been starting businesses 
cross eyed. 

818
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:10,200
You got all this cross eyed life
going on and you wonder why 

819
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:19,080
you're having cross eyed babies.
Forgive me if you anybody got 

820
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:23,000
cross eyed babies. 
I'm sorry. 

821
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,480
We got a lot of babies going and
coming into the to the love 

822
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:35,360
question. 
I don't want to look how dense 

823
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,840
is that darkness? 
I don't want to park there. 

824
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,120
I'll leave that for somebody 
else that's going to preach at 

825
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,040
some point to to to expound on 
that like, but then I want you 

826
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,320
to see Psalm one. 
He will be standing firm or 

827
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,680
sound. 
Who is this person that is 

828
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:55,760
sound? 
It's the person Psalm 11. 

829
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,360
They're they're they're they're 
they're they're not giving to 

830
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:02,040
the way of the world. 
They're focused on the Word of 

831
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:08,520
God day and night. 
He will be standing firm like a 

832
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,680
flourishing what tree? 
What planted by God's design. 

833
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,920
So I need to be planted. 
I need to be planted if I'm 

834
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:24,160
going to get rooted. 
This is why church hopping 

835
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,520
dangerous, marriage hopping 
dangerous, relationship hopping 

836
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,960
dangerous, because I'm never 
allowing the roots to settle in,

837
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:39,920
deeply rooted, ready by the 
brooks of bliss, bearing fruits 

838
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,920
in every season of life. 
So I want you to see this. 

839
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,880
Why did I bring this in? 
Because what we do is we think 

840
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,320
this, the bearing fruit in every
season is the open heaven. 

841
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:57,160
The open heaven comes from my 
discipline in Jesus. 

842
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:02,040
The open heaven didn't start 
when the fruit came. 

843
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,240
The open heaven started with my 
gaze. 

844
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:14,120
He says the person that's fixed 
in Jesus is like a flourishing 

845
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:18,760
tree planted. 
Look before the flourishing is 

846
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,840
manifested. 
I'm like flourishing. 

847
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,479
Am I with anybody, Bernadette? 
Am I with anybody? 

848
01:08:26,279 --> 01:08:30,560
You used to? 
I was firm like he will be 

849
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:34,040
standing firm like a flourishing
tree planted. 

850
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,640
So when by the time you see my 
fruits, you're only seeing 

851
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:50,680
evidence of who I've been, I've 
been fruitful before. 

852
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:55,439
You see a house, a car, any of 
that, you go see souls that you 

853
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,399
can trace my external 
fruitfulness to. 

854
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,760
You want to see fruit? 
Look at the lives of certain 

855
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:06,279
people that surrender to the 
teaching and to the leading of 

856
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:10,160
our leadership. 
Ask them what's happening on the

857
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:11,840
inside. 
Ask Seon. 

858
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,000
Ask Annabeth. 
Ask Effie. 

859
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,040
Ask Troy. 
Ask Bianca. 

860
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:20,960
Ask, ask, ask. 
See, we're not acknowledging 

861
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:24,920
that fruit. 
I've been fruitful. 

862
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:33,920
I'm I am life flourishing the 
the car that that came out of me

863
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:42,160
and whatever comes out of me, I 
don't need to idolize it because

864
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:49,920
if it get taken, it can get 
produced again, 'cause this came

865
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:58,960
out of by way of rootedness, not
buying and selling my my 

866
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:03,040
blessing came out of 
faithfulness, obedience being 

867
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:10,920
LED. 
I was LED into what you see bear

868
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:15,920
bearing fruit in every season. 
He's never dry, never fainting, 

869
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:22,000
ever blessed, ever prosperous. 
The one that's fixed. 

870
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:30,680
Never dry, never faint. 
I'm just believe this scripture.

871
01:10:31,480 --> 01:10:34,400
Oh, some season's going to come 
where you want to give up, 

872
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,600
wanting to give up and giving 
up. 

873
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,960
It's different, He said I'll 
never faint. 

874
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:43,880
He didn't say I'll never feel 
like faint. 

875
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,920
So even if I feel like fainting,
I know that never fainting is in

876
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:57,280
me. 
I'm a product of never fainting.

877
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,800
I'm a product of ever bless and 
I'm a product of ever 

878
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:08,400
prosperous, never dry, never a 
dull moment in my life. 

879
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,600
If I walk into dry things is 
about to get cracking when I 

880
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:20,400
walk in the building. 
And you got to understand these 

881
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:33,200
are seasons. 
If in every season of life, I'm 

882
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,280
never. 
Dry, never fainting, ever 

883
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:39,560
blessed, ever prosperous. 
It doesn't mean the season is 

884
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:44,480
not dry. 
It just means because I carry a 

885
01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:50,840
season in me, so I don't care 
what kind of seasons around me 

886
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,960
based on what the world's doing,
the season that's happening 

887
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,480
within me, understand the season
is happening. 

888
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:02,800
It says guard your heart for out
of it flows the issues of life 

889
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,160
and guard your heart for out of 
you flow seasons. 

890
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,400
There's a have you ever made a 
decision that sent you into a 

891
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:17,160
season? 
You ever got around somebody and

892
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,280
then your life totally begin to 
change? 

893
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:25,240
Better or worse decisions can 
activate seasons, but because 

894
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,720
I'm rooted, it don't matter what
season's going on around me 

895
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:32,520
because there is a never dry 
season, a never fainting season,

896
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:34,600
an ever blessed season and ever 
prospered. 

897
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:36,800
That's why some of y'all, this 
ain't about me. 

898
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,600
This is abyss about the Lord 
that's with me. 

899
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:44,720
But some of y'all, when you came
to Love Quest, you actually 

900
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,160
persevered longer in certain 
situations than you ever have 

901
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:55,000
because you came around some 
people who had a season of never

902
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,360
fainting. 
That's why you ain't gave up, 

903
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:58,800
Annabeth. 
That's why you ain't gave up, 

904
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,600
Seon, because you came into a 
space where it was never dry, 

905
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,200
never fainting, ever blessed, 
ever prosperous. 

906
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:10,600
Come on, say that with me. 
I'll never dry, never fainting, 

907
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:14,680
ever, bless, ever. 
Come on, I'll never dry, never 

908
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,280
fainting, ever bless, ever 
prosper. 

909
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,720
This is why Ezekiel says along 
both banks of the river, every 

910
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,320
kind of fruit tree will flourish
and their leaves will never 

911
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:38,120
wither and abundant fruit will 
always be on their branches. 

912
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:47,440
Each month they will bear a 
fresh crop because this life 

913
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:55,040
giving water that's in you, this
water that comes from the 

914
01:13:55,040 --> 01:14:07,160
sanctuary, you are the sanctuary
that is rooted in Jesus gazing. 

915
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:13,120
So I'm never dry because my 
perspective is always Jesus. 

916
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,880
I'm never dry because my eyes is
on the one who's never dry. 

917
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:22,480
He. 
Says he says. 

918
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:28,960
This this life giving comes from
the inside the sanctuary. 

919
01:14:29,440 --> 01:14:40,960
John 7 for this rivers of living
water will flow from out of 

920
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,040
God's sanctuary. 
He says, OK. 

921
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:47,800
He says, you are my temple 
sanctuary. 

922
01:14:48,480 --> 01:14:51,960
So what he's talking on in John 
seven First Corinthians about 

923
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,720
you being this temple, Ezekiel 
47 is Speaking of a prophetic 

924
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:59,160
people. 
He's prophesying about you that 

925
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,280
there will be a season where 
you're never dry, you're never 

926
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,200
fainting, you're always 
prospering because the heavens 

927
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:11,720
are in you. 
Don't forget where he said if I 

928
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:20,680
close up heaven, that's OT. 
If we had time, I could get to 

929
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:22,560
maybe we were, maybe I got to 
come. 

930
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,320
And in Jesus the heavens are 
always open. 

931
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:33,120
This is what I came to tell you 
in Jesus the heavens are always 

932
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:34,240
open. 
Why? 

933
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:37,720
Because God, he never sleeps nor
slumbers, right? 

934
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,320
Did you always so so so then we 
look, look, look, look. 

935
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,160
What do we think? 
This was when you said it almost

936
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,560
jumped at in the back. 
And at once the curtain of the 

937
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:53,720
sanctuary of the temple was 
torn, and two from top to bottom

938
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,480
the earth shook and the rocks 
were split. 

939
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,640
If the veil's torn, then when 
we're talking about open heaven,

940
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:04,920
then what else are we talking 
about? 

941
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:07,680
What are we bombarding on 
heaven? 

942
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:10,120
About what? 
What are we banging on heaven? 

943
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:16,360
Who are we invited if the the 
bell is torn, if there's no 

944
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:20,320
separation, who we inviting? 
Sounds like you need to get 

945
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:21,560
invited because you ain't here 
yet. 

946
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,680
Because if you was working, if 
you was here, then you know 

947
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:28,520
God's here. 
Because he told me where I find 

948
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:32,120
him, I find me. 
So if I'm inviting him, I need 

949
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:36,320
to invite me. 
Because if he ain't here, I 

950
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:39,320
ain't here. 
Not the person he want to 

951
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:45,720
commune with. 
You ready. 

952
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,720
You ready? 
The torn veil symbolizes direct 

953
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,200
access. 
What does direct access mean? 

954
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,080
No. 
Can you please show me your ID? 

955
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,000
No, I don't. 
I don't need no ID. 

956
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:58,680
Jesus. 
The blood is my ID. 

957
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,600
Am I talking to anybody? 
The blood of Jesus is my ID. 

958
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,920
He's not looking at my sins. 
So I don't need to put him away 

959
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,280
and then clean myself up before 
I go into the Lord and be like, 

960
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:10,800
I'm good. 
Hi, Jesus. 

961
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,080
No, no, no. 
I I have access is granted 

962
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:20,520
direct access to God for all 
believers through Christ's 

963
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:22,960
atoning work. 
Secondly, this is so important. 

964
01:17:26,440 --> 01:17:31,040
The torn veil marks the old 
covenant's end or it is 

965
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,400
finished. 
So This is why on Sundays we're 

966
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:39,360
in the good fight of finishing 
faith and it says I love this. 

967
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,400
And the torn veil represents a 
new. 

968
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,760
Era. 
A new era's inauguration. 

969
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:51,440
The veil is torn. 
It's nothing left to open but 

970
01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:57,520
your eyes. 
You hear me? 

971
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,200
Good grace. 
Good God. 

972
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:06,680
The veil is torn. 
It's nothing else to open but 

973
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,360
your eyes. 
How do I know this, EJ? 

974
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:09,360
Look at this. 
Look at this. 

975
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,080
Then Elijah prayed. 
Oh God. 

976
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,360
Wait a minute. 
Open his eyes. 

977
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:21,240
So you got one man who sees 
heaven surrounding the 

978
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,880
mountains. 
You got another man stressed 

979
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:28,720
out. 
And Elijah did not pray or 

980
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,680
panic. 
He prayed. 

981
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:38,440
He said, Lord, please open his 
eyes and let him see the heavens

982
01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:44,520
that are already open. 
What have we been looking for? 

983
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,160
The eyes of the young man were 
open. 

984
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:54,200
What? 
And he saw, he saw wonder. 

985
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:58,600
The whole mountainside full of 
horses and Chariots of fire 

986
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:23,600
surrounded Elijah. 
Elijah, this is the same man. 

987
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:32,240
If I kept reading down, Elijah 
earlier was with Elijah. 

988
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:39,040
And Elijah says this to Elijah. 
If you see me when I go, you 

989
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,840
want a double portion. 
You need eyes to see. 

990
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:44,760
I'm not just handing you 
mantels. 

991
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:51,080
I'm not just handing you what if
I you're anointed, but I see 

992
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:52,880
you're anointed more than you 
see you're anointed. 

993
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,000
You're powerful. 
I see you're powerful more than 

994
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,560
you're a leader. 
But I see leader more than you 

995
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:05,480
see you leader so God will put 
you around Elisha's so they can 

996
01:20:05,480 --> 01:20:11,160
show you and intercede for you. 
Lord, open his eyes, Elijah 

997
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:13,360
said. 
Man, that's a hard thing you 

998
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:19,560
asked for. 
It's a hard thing you asked for,

999
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,480
but you can have it if you see 
me. 

1000
01:20:32,100 --> 01:20:33,740
If you want what's on me, you 
have to see me. 

1001
01:20:33,740 --> 01:20:37,780
This is why I tell my son, One 
of the hidden secrets I noticed 

1002
01:20:37,780 --> 01:20:44,580
it's a pattern with greatness is
I have not seen one person that 

1003
01:20:44,580 --> 01:20:49,220
is great who didn't know the 
history of those that went 

1004
01:20:49,220 --> 01:20:55,720
before them. 
LeBron studied the old greats. 

1005
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,000
I'm talking about they he 
studied folks that was just in 

1006
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:05,160
black and white. 
Comedians pay homage to those 

1007
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:10,520
that went before them. 
I have never seen tip top 

1008
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,520
greatness. 
You go to actors and they'll pay

1009
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,720
homage to actors that paved the 
way for for them. 

1010
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:26,120
Elijah says If you want what's 
on me, then you got to see me. 

1011
01:21:34,370 --> 01:21:37,250
Why would you sit here with 
leaders, pastors, elders, 

1012
01:21:37,690 --> 01:21:42,450
singers, whatever, and get so 
familiar you can't see? 

1013
01:21:44,730 --> 01:21:48,410
It's less about who God has put 
in front of you and more about 

1014
01:21:48,410 --> 01:21:53,520
what He's put on who is in front
of you, because it's what's on 

1015
01:21:53,520 --> 01:22:03,040
and in who that He has for you. 
There's this exchange between us

1016
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:06,400
that can only happen through you
seeing me or seeing Him or 

1017
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:11,840
seeing her properly. 
And it is only when you see 

1018
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:18,160
heaven, when you see God 
properly, that heaven is open to

1019
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:24,320
you. 
And we're going to keep on 

1020
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,480
getting into it. 
And This is why the enemy's 

1021
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:31,040
efforts is to blind the eyes of 
sons and daughters. 2nd 

1022
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,480
Corinthians 4 says he blinds the
minds. 

1023
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,680
If I can keep you distracted, if
I can get you arguing about 

1024
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:42,520
doctrine, if I could get you 
being critical, if I can get you

1025
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:43,880
being judgmental, if I can get 
you. 

1026
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:50,560
That's why Jesus said take the 
plank, just put that same energy

1027
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,880
on yourself. 
The power of your 

1028
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,480
transformation. 
It happens in and it goes out. 

1029
01:22:58,440 --> 01:23:00,000
You want to be loved. 
Guess what? 

1030
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:12,170
Love our prayers, Lord, that you
and we'll pick up here next week

1031
01:23:12,970 --> 01:23:15,850
when we look at Ephesians, when 
he says, I pray that you be 

1032
01:23:15,850 --> 01:23:17,690
rooted. 
And what happens when you're 

1033
01:23:17,690 --> 01:23:20,210
rooted and what opens up when 
you're rooted? 

1034
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:26,280
My prayers that you open the 
eyes of our heart, Lord, 

1035
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:38,840
heaven's open. 
God's ready, angel's been 

1036
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:47,320
dispatched, the Bell's torn. 
Only thing left to open is your 

1037
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,760
eyes. 
And then we got to do the work 

1038
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,920
to remove. 
Whatever is distracting us from 

1039
01:23:53,920 --> 01:24:08,120
seeing God. 
I don't know about you, but I 

1040
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:13,400
just don't want to miss it. 
So as we enter this fast next 

1041
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:19,920
Monday until now, we're going to
use the other flyer. 

1042
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,000
You can throw that one away, 
right? 

1043
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:24,520
She tell you a different. 
I know you did, Grace. 

1044
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:26,240
You did your part. 
You know what I'm saying? 

1045
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:38,720
Come on, lift your hands. 
He said, Man, I preach to these 

1046
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,320
folks, EJ, He said, I preach to 
these folks and they, they still

1047
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:42,280
can't hear me. 
They don't got to hear. 

1048
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,000
They got they ain't got the ears
to hear. 

1049
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,960
They ain't got the eyes to see. 
They got ears, but they can't 

1050
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:50,960
hear. 
They got eyes, but they can't 

1051
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,560
see. 
What are we doing, Church? 

1052
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:02,120
I pray that you see that there's
more for you than there are 

1053
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:09,320
against you. 
I pray that you see that God has

1054
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,400
already raised up a standard 
because the enemy has come in 

1055
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:16,040
like a flood. 
And in the old. 

1056
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,720
Days what that meant when he 
raised up a standard, he raised 

1057
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:23,040
up a flag, right? 
A soldier dies, flag goes down. 

1058
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,560
You know what I mean? 
So when God raises up a 

1059
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,000
standard, what he's saying I'm 
fighting with you, I'm in this 

1060
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:36,200
war with you, but what good is 
it if you don't know who's in 

1061
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,760
the fight with you? 
You don't know the weapons 

1062
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:47,320
available to you. 
That's why December 31st, the 

1063
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,440
Lord told me to tell you, you 
are ready. 

1064
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,280
And how many people walked away 
from December 31st? 

1065
01:25:55,280 --> 01:26:00,920
Still doubt me themselves, let 
alone God. 

1066
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,080
Just take a few minutes, Lord. 
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord.

1067
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:25,640
All right, the inner man. 
Next week I'm also going to give

1068
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:30,920
you 5 keys to living under an 
open heaven. 

1069
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:36,200
Folks might say keeping it open.
We could say that, but it's 

1070
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,960
right there before us. 
How to live under an open heaven

1071
01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:42,240
and remained under it. 
We close ourselves out. 

1072
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:46,480
God doesn't ever shut it. 
We close ourselves out through 

1073
01:26:46,480 --> 01:26:50,360
ignorance, through 
unforgiveness, bitterness, 

1074
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:56,760
through distraction, through 
sin, compromise, carnality. 

1075
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,800
We'll see it. 
The. 

1076
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,680
Fruits of the open heaven. 
Is the fruit of the Spirit. 

1077
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,800
If you want to see the fruit of 
someone living under an open 

1078
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:12,920
heaven, their lies will look 
like the character of Jesus. 

1079
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,840
It will look like love and joy, 
peace, right? 

1080
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:20,840
Because you got to understand 
that those fruits, that fruit is

1081
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:25,000
not based on conditions. 
It's something that's cultivated

1082
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,480
through the work of the Holy 
Spirit within us. 

1083
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,000
And so can the Lord come in, the
Holy Spirit come in and open 

1084
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:41,800
your mind to the endless 
possibilities of His grace. 

1085
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:51,680
I just pray in this series that 
we've removed some roadblocks in

1086
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,520
our mind. 
We remove, we allow the Holy 

1087
01:27:54,520 --> 01:28:02,240
Spirit to redefine some things. 
I believe the Lord want to clear

1088
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:05,280
the pathways for heaven to just 
come on in your life. 

1089
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:13,680
Come on, take a few seconds. 
Come on Lord, open it Holy 

1090
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:37,560
Spirit, 
Revelation is the byproduct of 

1091
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:45,080
gazing. 
You like Lord, reveal yourself 

1092
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:47,960
to me. 
Well, the revealing, the 

1093
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,360
unveiling is a fruit of your 
gazing. 

1094
01:28:54,480 --> 01:29:02,520
Hallelujah in Jesus name. 
In Jesus name. 

1095
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,720
Come on, lift your hands one 
more time and let's sing that. 

1096
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:10,600
Open the eyes of my heart. 
Open the eyes of my heart. 

1097
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:57,280
Come. 
On listen to our feet. 

1098
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:00,240
If you received anything 
tonight, give God a hand. 

1099
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:05,120
Come on, give God a hand worthy.
Did he open your eyes tonight to

1100
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:07,680
anything? 
Come on, give Him praise for it.

1101
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:35,280
My prayer is that you open your 
eyes. 

1102
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:42,000
You do your part by removing 
distractions. 

1103
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:51,040
Simplify your gaze, simplify 
your affections and make sure 

1104
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:55,160
you're not cross eyed in your 
gaze. 

1105
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:02,200
What I do know is God really 
wants His children blessed. 

1106
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:14,240
He understands the value to the 
loss of monetary success. 

1107
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:18,480
There is value aside from paying
your bills and things of that 

1108
01:31:18,480 --> 01:31:21,280
nature. 
There is value to an extent. 

1109
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,320
It is a witness. 
It opens up conversations and 

1110
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:29,840
puts you in certain rooms. 
And to some people, the monetary

1111
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:39,000
blessing is a sign of blessing. 
But you got to know where your 

1112
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,200
help comes from. 
You. 

1113
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:43,720
Can't be blinded by shiny 
objects. 

1114
01:31:46,440 --> 01:31:48,680
And God says that we seek him 
first. 

1115
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:52,520
His Kingdom, His way of doing 
things. 

1116
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:54,440
He'll add those things to our 
life. 

1117
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:03,440
He loves us, He loves you, and I
pray your eyes are open to how 

1118
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:08,400
special you are to him. 
You're super dope to your 

1119
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:15,920
father. 
Hope to see you guys on Sunday 

1120
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,360
if you are a leader in this 
church. 

1121
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,480
We have not had lovers in a long
time. 

1122
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:27,640
I really need everybody here, so
get that word out. 

1123
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:32,040
And then Sunday baptism is not 
until what date? 

1124
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:35,640
18th. 
Cool. 

1125
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:46,520
No, 18th this Sunday is just 
Sunday. 

1126
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:50,360
Correct. 
All right, all right. 

1127
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:02,760
I speak victory over your life. 
I speak victory over your mind. 

1128
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:08,560
I speak victory over the daily 
affairs of your life. 

1129
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:11,480
I speak victory over your 
relationships. 

1130
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:18,280
I just send strength to you. 
Those that have been battling 

1131
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:25,040
and wrestling, I want you to 
know I may share about this a 

1132
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:31,120
little bit on Sunday, But what 
God is saying is that you have 

1133
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:35,920
to look at inspections. 
I mean, wrestling almost like an

1134
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:43,320
inspection season and going 
through this stuff with these 

1135
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,760
buildings. 
A part of the frustration is 

1136
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:50,560
waiting for permits. 
But before there's a permit, 

1137
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:55,040
there has to be inspection. 
And before you can be permitted 

1138
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:59,640
to go forward, you have to be 
inspected, you have to be tried,

1139
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,480
you have to be proven, you have 
to be tested. 

1140
01:34:02,480 --> 01:34:07,400
And sometimes, like with our our
plumbing, we did everything. 

1141
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:10,800
But then the inspector came in 
and said we just need you to dig

1142
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:14,000
a little bit deeper. 
And we dug a little bit deeper. 

1143
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,600
He came back and He permitted 
it. 

1144
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:20,840
And sometimes the enemy wants to
get you frustrated because all 

1145
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:22,520
God is saying is just this one 
little thing. 

1146
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:23,640
I need you to make an 
adjustment. 

1147
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,560
This is 1 little thing. 
I just believe we're in 

1148
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:33,520
inspection season. 
You're being proven not being 

1149
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:36,520
held back. 
You're actually ready to be 

1150
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:39,440
inspected. 
I want you to think about what 

1151
01:34:39,440 --> 01:34:42,320
that means when you get to a 
point where you're ready for the

1152
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:47,880
inspector to inspect. 
You've done all that you know 

1153
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:51,920
you should do. 
You need the inspector to point 

1154
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,200
out things so you can get closer
to perfection. 

1155
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:59,320
And he says he gave some 
pastors, apostles and so on and 

1156
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:03,400
so on to what mature the Saints.
So, Father, I thank you for the 

1157
01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:06,520
maturing of your children. 
I thank you for your. 

1158
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:13,680
Word, Lord, that it will not be 
stolen or devoured or perverted,

1159
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:21,600
but it will produce. 
We thank you that your children 

1160
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:25,520
are advancing. 
They're going forward and we 

1161
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:30,800
call these properties blessed. 
We thank you Father, above and 

1162
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,160
beyond. 
What we are needing and 

1163
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:38,280
believing for will come in. 
Lord God, we call in partners 

1164
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:43,560
from the north, the South, the 
east and the West in Jesus name.

1165
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:47,240
I thank you. 
We will not be weary in well 

1166
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:55,400
doing because we will not faint.
We shall reap and we declare we 

1167
01:35:55,400 --> 01:36:00,880
are in due season and we pull it
down and we pull it down and we 

1168
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,440
pull it down in Jesus name. 
Amen. 

1169
01:36:04,480 --> 01:36:05,680
Amen. 
Amen. 

1170
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:11,560
All right, we out of time, but 
we are not out of sight. 

1171
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,440
Until next time. 
You know what it is. 

1172
01:36:14,440 --> 01:36:19,500
Get your love fixed man. 
Thank you so much. 

1173

week's sermon.
