Welcome to the family to get 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,480 your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,680 some tea, and get ready to receive. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:42,320 Let's get into it. Last few weeks we've been 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:49,000 talking about the family that God intends, right? 10 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,960 We've been talking about family matters. 11 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,600 Somebody say family matters. We also understand that marriage 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,680 matters. Somebody say marriage matters. 13 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,360 We talked about the blessing. We talked about alignment. 14 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,640 We talked about the ripple that our lives create. 15 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,120 Good or bad, life or death. Somebody say the ripple, and I 16 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,440 don't know about you, but I have been checked by the spirit is 17 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:30,280 well liberated at the same time, because not that I blame my 18 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,880 environment, my family, my trauma, but to be able to 19 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:43,680 identify the root of or the origin of a behavior, especially 20 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:50,760 a pattern, it liberates me because now I have identified 21 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,640 the root issue of why this fruit is remaining in my life. 22 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,440 Because what happens in a home does not stop in the home. 23 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,160 It ripples. Somebody say it ripples, faith 24 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:14,640 ripples, honor ripples, brokenness ripples, blessing 25 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,240 ripples. What we build today becomes the 26 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:24,720 story our children inherit tomorrow, and Scripture shows us 27 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:31,160 this over and over again. When a father walks with God, it 28 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,520 shapes generations. When a home forgets God, the 29 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,520 ripple moves the other direction. 30 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,600 We look at David, one of the clearest examples of this 31 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,120 ripple. If you've been here for the last 32 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,200 few weeks, we have looked at David's life, not only what his 33 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,600 sons and daughters inherited, but also what he may have went 34 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,680 through that could have caused some of the ripple in his life, 35 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,440 like being overlooked, being misunderstood, being left out of 36 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,640 the equation. When the anointing came to his 37 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,080 house, when it was time to anoint one of the sons, he was 38 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,320 not invited to the party. So we see how throughout time, 39 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,640 patterns are generated for generations. 40 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,320 And I'm here to tell everybody in here, your family is not 41 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,520 doing anything new unless you do it. 42 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Meaning the devil been tracing your tracks. 43 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,080 The enemy knows some of the patterns in your bloodline way 44 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,000 better than you do. And So what he loves and he's 45 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,360 banking on is that you remain ignorant to why you are the way 46 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,360 you are. That you say this ignorant 47 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,960 statement is just who I am, and it may not be your fault that 48 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,280 you inherited it, but it is your fault that you won't change it. 49 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,720 David, watch this scripture tells us that David was not 50 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,000 perfect. Amen. 51 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,120 David had failures. Amen. 52 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,440 David had messes. David had moments that damaged 53 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:26,320 his household, but Scripture still says something remarkable 54 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,600 about David and it says this clean statement. 55 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,560 David is a man after God's own heart. 56 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,960 How you murder somebody? How do you commit adultery? 57 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:47,720 OK, you commit adultery with one of your soldiers wives, then you 58 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:55,400 kill him, then you marry her, then your daughter gets raped by 59 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,560 your first son. You do nothing about it. 60 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,640 He is one of the worst sinners by you know, if we was the judge 61 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,960 sin because you know, we put sin on different levels. 62 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:15,040 He murdered, he committed adultery, and he goes down in 63 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,760 the Bible as a man after God's own heart. 64 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,800 How do you murder? How do you commit adultery? 65 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,880 How do you covet and go down in history as a man after God's own 66 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:40,400 heart and then put your name as Jesus Godfather or step up like 67 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:49,680 like like Jesus son of David. That would be like Jesus son of 68 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:57,440 Adam, Jesus son of Terence, Jesus son of Jasmine. 69 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,040 That was just David guys wasn't an Angel. 70 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:09,560 It wasn't Jesus, it was David shepherd boy commit adultery 71 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,560 murders, he goes down and his name is in history Jesus, son of 72 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:22,120 David in the same sentence as not just Jesus, but in the same 73 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:29,600 sentence as have mercy on me. So we would be foolish to just 74 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,560 look at the ripple in David's bloodline, but not really hone 75 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:40,920 in on although David had this craziness in his family, how is 76 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,160 he a man after? How is God like? 77 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,400 If there's anybody I want y'all to be like, I want you to be 78 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,280 like David. So are you saying God, you want 79 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,120 me to go kill somebody? So you want me to commit 80 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:58,680 adultery? What about David has that watch 81 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:06,560 this. That is David's obituary, that 82 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,080 that's how we remember David when we look at David's sin. 83 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,960 That's the way in the Old Testament David's life is pulled 84 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,520 into Jesus walk. David's life is pulled in. 85 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,080 They approached him that way. They didn't say Jesus, son of 86 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,960 God. They didn't say Jesus lion of 87 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,640 Judah. They said, Jesus, son of David 88 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,480 and son of David, please have mercy on me. 89 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,080 Why? Because David had a reflex that 90 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:53,080 a lot of us don't have. When David sinned, he returned. 91 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,840 When David was overwhelmed, he worshipped. 92 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,200 And when David faced battles, he remembered the faithfulness of 93 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,120 God. See it all through the Psalms. 94 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,520 Watch this. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and 95 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,760 forget, not forget, not forget, not forget. 96 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,720 Not all of his benefits. Unfortunately, there are some 97 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280 people in here. You are dead tired today. 98 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,960 When I say tired, not just physically, but mentally, 99 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,200 because you have forgotten. It's not the devil, it's your 100 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,280 memory. David constantly remembered and 101 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,120 the remembrance turned into a praise. 102 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,400 Remembrance. Family protects the ripple 103 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:43,400 because when a house remembers what God has done, gratitude 104 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,800 fills the home. Praise fills the home, faith 105 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,280 fills the home. But when remembrance disappears, 106 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,920 gratitude fades, praise grows quiet, and slowly but surely the 107 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,080 story of God disappears from your house. 108 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,080 Luke 17 says this. Then Jesus asked. 109 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,760 We're not ten of you cleansed. Where's the other 9? 110 00:09:18,380 --> 00:09:26,340 Why did only one return? Why is only one got a praise? 111 00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:33,000 Did not bless all y'all. Why only one of y'all passionate 112 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:40,360 about my grace. Did not bless all y'all family 113 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:51,720 watch this. 10 experienced 10 experienced mercy. 10 received a 114 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:58,840 miracle, but only one, somebody, say 11, return to honor the one 115 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,760 who did it. Families. 116 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,000 Here we go. Families tend to drift into 117 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,040 forgetfulness. Over the last few weeks, we have 118 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,640 been building something intentional in this house. 119 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640 We have been talking about family blessing, generational 120 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,400 alignment, and the kind of culture Heaven intends to live 121 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,440 inside a home. Because watch this. 122 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,560 Families do not drift into health. 123 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,920 You do not drift. No one drifts into help. 124 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,800 No one drifts into better. No one drifts into deliverance. 125 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,360 You don't drift into freedom. Families tend to drift into 126 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:47,520 forgetfulness. We remember disappointments. 127 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,720 Yeah, we do. We remember the let downs. 128 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,920 Yeah, we do. We remember the failures. 129 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,920 Yeah, we do. We remember the persecution. 130 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,520 Yeah, we do. We remember the abandonment. 131 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,560 Yeah, we do. But we forget the faithfulness. 132 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,760 If you had some type of AI tracking how much you remember 133 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,080 his goodness versus how much you complaining or worried about 134 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,360 what's next, what would that feedback be? 135 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,600 Forgetfulness is dangerous. God never asked us to erase the 136 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,320 past. He invites us forward with our 137 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,480 eyes on Him. But along the way, the Father 138 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:44,960 keeps whispering. Remember my hand, remember my 139 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:51,480 heart, remember my love, remember my character, remember 140 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,440 my promises. Watch this because when you 141 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:02,280 remember who God has been, you regain confidence in who God 142 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,720 will be. Yeah. 143 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,240 Forgetfulness makes you think you survived because you were 144 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,400 strong. Forgetfulness makes you think 145 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,320 the breakthrough came because you were smart. 146 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,800 Forgetfulness makes you interpret mercy as normal. 147 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,800 So today, before we ask God for the next thing, people, before 148 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,960 we pray for the next door, before we talk about the next 149 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,160 miracle, today we are going to do something very holy and 150 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,160 royal. We are going to count them up. 151 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,920 Somebody say count them up. Somebody say count them up, 152 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,480 count them up, count them up, count them up. 153 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,520 All you got to do is turn around. 154 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,840 All you got to do is turn around. 155 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,480 What if I told you all you got to do is turn around? 156 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,560 Where family matters, praise matters. 157 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,760 I want you to pause for a second and I want you to think for like 158 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,280 maybe 30 seconds. If you can pull your mind to 159 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,800 that 30 seconds of all the Lord has done. 160 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,920 Now you couldn't take do that in 30 seconds. 161 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,920 Can you at least think of one thing God has done? 162 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,640 And if you can't think of nothing, think you got here 163 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,400 safe? You're worshipping with a roof 164 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,160 over your head. Anybody, I think everybody, 165 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,400 everybody ate at least last night or at least this week. 166 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,880 You got food on your table, everybody looking good, you got 167 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,320 clothes. Nobody in here naked like you. 168 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,960 You good. Take 30 seconds and just pause 169 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,800 and everything the Holy Spirit brings up, just say thank you. 170 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,400 Just say thank you. You should be thank you, thank 171 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,040 you, thank you, thank you. But just say thank you. 172 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,400 And I want you to think of all the Lord has done. 173 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:10,960 Hallelujah. Deep praise, deep praise, deep 174 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:33,640 praise be praise be praise be praise forever. 175 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:42,920 All he brought us out of pause, all he kept you from all the 176 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,920 prayers he answered, all the doors he opened. 177 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:53,600 Watch this and all the doors he closed that would have destroyed 178 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,800 you. Yeah, it's it's it's pretty 179 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:03,280 crazy that that that we only praise him or not for the things 180 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,080 we're aware of. We don't realize that the devil 181 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,840 had a plan too. While you was driving here 182 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,040 today, the devil had a plan too. While you were asleep last 183 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,000 night, the devil had a plan too. And for the things that God did 184 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,680 not allow to destroy us there, that deserves a praise. 185 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,320 I, I know I got some. So I I know I got some survivors 186 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,760 in here that should be dead, that should be in jail. 187 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,760 It should have took you out.

No, no, no, he, he, I was, he 373 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,240 was talking to me when I was getting high and he was still 374 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,840 loving me when I woke up the next morning and hungover 375 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,280 saying, I'm still here, son. Whenever you're ready to come 376 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,400 home. I'm still here, son. 377 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,000 So all we did was March into the club and tell God's children 378 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,480 whenever you're ready, He's still here for you. 379 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,920 He still loves you, right? We are a testimony. 380 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:54,240 We are a testimony. We are a testimony and I 381 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,680 remember the moment like the cool thing about those places is 382 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,920 most of the people don't know your music. 383 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,240 So you spend some of the time building relational equity. 384 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,160 If you skillful in how you set up your set. 385 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,880 So you're building relational equity. 386 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,000 And then there comes a time if you do your job well, you got 387 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,320 the room, man. It was. 388 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,880 It was a time the whole room was screaming Yahweh. 389 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,640 You, you just said the wrong name. 390 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,720 Watch this, watch this, watch this. 391 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,640 So, so I do read a scripture that that, that, that those that 392 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,000 confess his name. Now, I'm not saying right there 393 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,720 because your heart and your mouth got to be in alignment. 394 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:53,360 But what I do understand is you can't say his name without 395 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,240 heaven turning towards you, without something. 396 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,840 We, we, we understand life and death is in the power of the 397 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,040 tongue. The moment they cried out or 398 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:13,880 screamed out Yahweh, what they drink Yahweh, right, Right. 399 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,800 And So what you got to understand is you don't say his 400 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,000 name. He's a covenant God. 401 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,480 His name is covenant, you say a name that represents that is 402 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,680 covenant. Every last one of those people 403 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,160 received that seed, whether they know it or not. 404 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,920 You have folks on the dance floor. 405 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:47,160 Look, no, bring it down, bring it down. 406 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,760 Bring it down. Bring it down, bring it down. 407 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,040 You have to see what God is doing. 408 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,720 Somebody you don't know, watch this. 409 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,000 I was in the club, but my grandmama was praying me out. 410 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,040 I wish somebody would have showed up at one of the clubs I 411 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,240 was at and did dope music and was just like, I swagged out and 412 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,600 it was just like, whoa, that's an encounter you don't 413 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,960 understand. And then for those people to be 414 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,240 like, we want more of that. What we're about to see is 415 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,440 sometime the people out there get God more than the people in 416 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:30,080 here. My, my, I got the privilege of 417 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,640 having a wife who was an adult conversion versus growing up in 418 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,880 church. She don't like playing the 419 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,000 church people games. She because she didn't grow up 420 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,320 in all of that. So she got a little different 421 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:48,480 tolerance for church, but her conversion sometime I envy how 422 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,840 she encountered God. I was born in it. 423 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,600 So I don't know. It's like you born wealthy you 424 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,200 that's all you know is wealth. I I was born in it. 425 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,160 So I just been saved ever since I I came came out the womb. 426 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,320 But man, for somebody to encounter Jesus and they broken 427 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:13,000 this and I don't know about you, but you have a place that you 428 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,400 have a reference point of his goodness. 429 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,520 We are not turning back. We are building memorial. 430 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,280 Let's look at this Scripture. While Jesus was on the way to 431 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,560 Jerusalem, he was passing along the border between Samaria and 432 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,280 Galilee. As he entered a village, he was 433 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,640 met by 10. How many 10 lepers who stood at 434 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,720 a distance? Why were they standing at a 435 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,680 distance? Because it was Jewish customs or 436 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,040 law that if you were a leper you could not be close. 437 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:56,240 So they lepers were isolated people socially, spiritually and 438 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,440 physically. Somebody say at a distance it 439 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,800 may feel distant, but God still hears. 440 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,600 And they raised their voices and called out Jesus, Master, have 441 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,040 mercy on us. When he saw them, he said to 442 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,280 them, go and show yourself to the priest. 443 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,800 And as they went, they were miraculously healed and made 444 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,480 clean. How many of them was it? 445 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:30,120 10, One of them, one of them when he saw that he was healed, 446 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,880 turn back. All you got to do is turn 447 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:43,719 around. 1 out of 10 turned around once he noticed God 448 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,560 brought him out. Now I could challenge every 449 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:53,159 person in here that God has brought you out of at least one 450 00:34:53,159 --> 00:35:01,680 thing in your life. This guy saw fit that it was 451 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,720 worth turning back, and if you turn back, you're turning away 452 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:12,120 from something. It was on his heart to turn 453 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,120 back, glorifying and praising and honoring God with a what? 454 00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:18,000 Come on say. Loud voice with a loud voice. 455 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,880 Loud voice. Yeah, loud voice. 456 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:27,560 Shout out one time and he lay face downward on at Jesus feet 457 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,160 thanking him, not only thanking him because he was healed, but 458 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,720 watch this guy's. This is something that we may 459 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:41,560 not really do when God touches us, heaven touches us, he bows 460 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,880 representing noticing authority. Watch this. 461 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:52,360 He was thanking him over and over again, not just one Sunday, 462 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,040 not just when he feel like it, but over and over again. 463 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,240 He was a Samaritan. Why is that important? 464 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,640 Sometimes outsiders recognize grace faster than those that's 465 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:07,880 on the inside. Jesus asked. 466 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,760 We're not ten of you cleansed. Where are the other 9? 467 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,800 Was there no one found to return and to give thanks and praise to 468 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,160 God except this foreigner? Jesus said to him, get up and go 469 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,720 on your way. Your faith, your personal trust 470 00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:31,760 in me and your confidence in God's power has restored you to 471 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,520 health. Anything that you don't get in 472 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,400 this, you can go listen to the stream this week from this 473 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,880 morning. I'm going over that. 474 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,080 But there's always things to continue to extract. 475 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,040 But I want to keep moving through it so we can try and get 476 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,680 a couple new things before we close. 477 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,040 The miracle happened as they went. 478 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,920 Somebody say as they went one more time, say as they went. 479 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,480 It wasn't as they stuck around and was like God, like why you 480 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,160 not doing nothing. It was as they went, as they 481 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,760 kept being faithful, as they kept serving, as they kept 482 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,320 sowing, as they kept loving, as they kept forgiving over and 483 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,400 over again. Every time you forgive somebody 484 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,520 that's saying thank you God over and over again. 485 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,400 Every time you sow is saying thank you over and over again. 486 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,760 Every time you get back up is saying is saying thank you over 487 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,480 and over again. Every time you love your 488 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,600 enemies, they're saying thank you over and over again. 489 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,440 Somebody shout out over and over again. 490 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,560 The miracle happened as they went. 491 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,240 They obeyed. Before they saw the 492 00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:33,640 manifestation. They obeyed. 493 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,720 Before change came, they obeyed. Before they saw the 494 00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:43,680 manifestation, they obeyed. Healing met them in motion. 495 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:51,320 Healing met them in faith. Healing met them in motion. 496 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,240 Somebody say motion. I'll say it again. 10 497 00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:59,440 experienced the same miracle, but only one came back. 498 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,360 Why only 1? Here it is. 499 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:11,880 The war is against remembrance. You, you see stuff on social 500 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,480 media and now like, like they're, they're, they're, you 501 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,360 know, selling some AI stuff, selling apps, selling things to 502 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,480 help you strengthen your memory, your muscle memory and things of 503 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,720 that nature. And I get it. 504 00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:24,280 There's science behind it. We're in the backwards talking 505 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:30,080 about Alzheimer's and dementia. That to me, to me, to me, that's 506 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,200 demonic. That's demonic. 507 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,960 But when's the last time you came against it? 508 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:51,720 Memory loss As you get older or as you are younger, the war is 509 00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:57,840 against your and I memory. 10 men were healed, 10 men 510 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,960 experienced mercy, 10 men received a miracle, but only one 511 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,440 returned. Only one returned. 512 00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:12,040 Only one honored or practice Thanksgiving. 513 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:18,480 Only one honored Jesus. What happened to their memory? 514 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,360 Luke 17 Jesus says where are the other 9? 515 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:30,440 Didn't I heal all of you? Why only one of you saw fit to 516 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,640 turn back? We could also look at this, 517 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,440 watch this talk into the room. Why only some of y'all in this 518 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:43,560 room find it fit to repent? Why don't some of y'all in here 519 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,240 as good as God's been, don't find God's goodness enough to 520 00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:51,000 change? God's goodness enough to put 521 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000 that thing down? God's goodness enough to stop 522 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,160 having potty mouth? God's goodness enough to stop 523 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,000 having a nasty attitude? God, whatever it may be, why 524 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,680 have you not saw fit to turn back? 525 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,680 Him coming back. It's like God healed me in spite 526 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,920 of my nastiness. We can look at leprosy as your 527 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,800 sin and God still tells you why you thought that you and God 528 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,640 wasn't close because of your filth. 529 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,520 God still healed you. Is it when? 530 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,840 When is it going to be the perfect time for you to turn 531 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:35,880 back? The enemy does not just fight 532 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,960 your future, he fights your memory of God's faithfulness, 533 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:48,120 because memory fuels faith. Faith, faith don't just come by 534 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,120 hearing. Watch this. 535 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,480 Faith comes by hearing what I remember. 536 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:56,840 There you go, John, right there, right there. 537 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:02,120 That's a nugget for you. Rather, I rehearse negativity or 538 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,440 rehearse the goodness of God. I will have faith for whatever I 539 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,840 remember. But I even deeper, I will have 540 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:16,600 faith for whatever I rehearse. I remember Jesus. 541 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:24,440 If the enemy can get you to forget what God did, he can get 542 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,400 you to question what God can and will do. 543 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,600 How'd that cinnamon roll? See ya. 544 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,720 It's good. They back there sharing having a 545 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:38,760 cinnamon roll. Girl, where? 546 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,840 Where's she at?

They are distracted by your 551 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,280 sugar. Amen. 552 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,520 You girl, that's a compliment for you. 553 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,240 That's a blessing.

But soon as increase come, 612 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:08,520 here's how I know that I forgot is because now I have to manage 613 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,400 what he blessed and that's not the stewards. 614 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,760 Adam never was afraid to go without sin made him afraid. 615 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,320 And a lot of times some of you are overworking because you 616 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,640 don't think you are able to keep up. 617 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,720 So you overwork because you don't trust you. 618 00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:36,040 Watch this because there's something in us that knows that 619 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:47,860 we are not able to provide in the way that God impregnates us 620 00:46:47,860 --> 00:46:51,380 with.

Because the Bible tells me I'm 658 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,560 not worthy of being a pastor or a Bishop if I can't take care of 659 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:12,240 my own home. Why? 660 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,480 So no wonder we have less disciple makers, because you 661 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:30,110 don't want nobody to follow you.

You got it twisted. 740 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,360 And that's what the devil is banking on is that you give your 741 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,240 mind to more hours of darkness than you do liked. 742 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:55,040 And so as we are praising God, as we are jogging each other, 743 00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:01,720 the Bible says to stir up, to spur, it is our job to get each 744 00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:08,080 other excited about God. Watch this, watch this, watch 745 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,440 this, watch this, watch this, watch this. 746 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,440 It's in the Bible. Angels cried out to one another, 747 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:20,120 holy, holy, holy. And what, what would church look 748 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:24,000 like if when we walked in those doors, it was a known thing. 749 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,760 We put down whatever was outside. 750 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,760 And the only thing we're going to talk about in here is the 751 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,800 goodness of God. Like we walk in here, we get our 752 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:32,960 coffee. God is good. 753 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,280 Ain't he good? Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 754 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:35,760 yeah. How was your week, man? 755 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,160 It was tough, but God. No. 756 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,760 But nobody's telling you to deny your rough week. 757 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,680 But can you end it with a but God? 758 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:49,560 Can you end it with a but God? I got fired this week. 759 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,440 But God, me and my wife ain't doing that good this week. 760 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,880 But God, But God, somebody shout out. 761 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:03,920 But God, Yeah, What, what, what can I ask you another question? 762 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:09,320 What What did God deliver you from that you used to call 763 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:13,280 normal? You used to call it normal, 764 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,120 right? There's some stuff that I've, I 765 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:17,440 mean, count them up. Count them up. 766 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,440 There's some stuff that I was just watch this. 767 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,120 Watch this, watch this. It's not normal. 768 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,240 I don't care what you say. I don't care what you say. 769 00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:30,520 It is not normal to fly anywhere, let alone from here to 770 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:37,480 Australia and land. Eat 3 meals in the air. 771 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:47,520 No, the air for birds. I've always asked, I've become 772 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,080 aware that I have this thing where even when I'm driving, I 773 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,200 try not to let it transfer into anxiety, but but there's this 774 00:55:55,240 --> 00:56:00,840 awareness of my fragility. There's this awareness of how 775 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,760 fragile my life is that it's not fear. 776 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,280 It's this awareness that God, I got another day with my kids. 777 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:13,600 See, the awareness allows you to be present with the blessing. 778 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,920 When I'm with EJ, I can't just be so familiar that I'm not 779 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,000 aware that, man, this is a gift in my life that he's spending 780 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,400 his time with me and he's giving me. 781 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:29,240 He's listening to me. This brother got more degrees 782 00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:33,520 than everybody in my family and he's listening to me. 783 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,800 I'm his pastor. I don't want to become familiar 784 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,200 with that. And that's how people, you get 785 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,040 familiar with me, you get familiar with PJ. 786 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,640 Oh, that's just PJ. That's just our pastor. 787 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,520 You know how many people don't got a pastor? 788 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,360 You know how many people don't got people praying for them? 789 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,480 You know how many people don't have a church home to read the 790 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,200 Bible where it's safe? There's people getting killed 791 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,040 for reading the Bible publicly. How many things have you been 792 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,560 blessed with or delivered from that you just call normal? 793 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,760 No, it's thank you, Jesus. Every time I get out the 794 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:15,360 airplane, Hallelujah. Every time my kids come home and 795 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,480 make it from a flight or a drive, they every time my kids 796 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,800 walk back in the you know how many parents are waiting at home 797 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,120 for their kid to walk in the door, but they never will again. 798 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,440 And then how quick families get attitude with each other when 799 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,040 it's noisy in the house. Let them make noise. 800 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,320 That noise ain't going. What you going to do when it's 801 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,360 quiet in the house because they're not there? 802 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,480 The blessing of having noisy children. 803 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,840 The blessing of cleaning up spilled milk 30 times a day. 804 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,360 One day you not going to have the chance to clean up milk. 805 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,080 And then some parents, the stuff they stress over their kids and 806 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,720 then one day all of a sudden a kid not here car accident and 807 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,520 now they sleeping in their kids beds because they like if I had 808 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,640 one more day with my kid, I would let them yell at me. 809 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,600 I wish they had my kid in this house out man. 810 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,240 They can put all their underwear all over the house and I'll pick 811 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,080 them up If I could just have right. 812 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:22,120 It's crazy how when you don't have it, you're willing to do 813 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,200 anything to get it back. Let me tell you something. 814 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,640 Every time we come here on Sunday, this is not normal, that 815 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,960 you get to sit down and get a word right. 816 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,360 And what the enemy wants you to do is judge and critique and 817 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,440 who's preaching the word? He wants you to look at my 818 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,200 frailties and my mistakes. So you can't hear the word. 819 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,440 But watch this, no matter my mistakes, God's word still is 820 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:51,400 true. And that's the problem. 821 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,520 You're looking at me and you're not looking at God. 822 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,400 If God can talk to a donkey, he can talk to Terrence. 823 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,680 And I think I'm a little bit more annoying than a donkey. 824 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:09,160 But how donkey ish is it of you to take gathering on Sunday for 825 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:20,050 granted? We all should repent for just 826 00:59:20,050 --> 00:59:23,170 taking God for granted, taking blessing for granted. 827 00:59:24,930 --> 00:59:30,090 Oh I need AI, need a better car. What nice car? 828 00:59:30,290 --> 00:59:33,530 And you can have desires, but to the point where you just can't 829 00:59:33,530 --> 00:59:37,280 be grateful for just having what you got to every time you get in 830 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:43,760 the car you like mad you driving in OK, So if if you mad at the 831 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:48,920 car you got do me a favor today or tomorrow, give it away, sew 832 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:53,600 it. Nah, Nah, PTI can't do that. 833 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:59,840 I can't do that. So shut up or praise up however 834 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:05,880 you want to do it. How, how, how can I do this do 835 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,640 y'all? Can y'all give me a few, just a 836 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,920 few minutes. I'm going to skip like 30 slides 837 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,280 and I'm going to go give y'all something real quick that I need 838 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,880 to give y'all. If if you want to hear this 839 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:20,400 morning, I I need you to go listen this week. 840 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:31,120 If if you want the word this week, no, I'm not going to do 841 01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:32,240 that. That's going to distract me. 842 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,600 The Bible commands us to remember, create memorials. 843 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,720 Psalm one O 3 says forget not right. 844 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,720 Forgetfulness is not just emotional state, it's a posture. 845 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,560 Forgetfulness is a posture, you hear me? 846 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,880 In Scripture, God often instructs his people to mark his 847 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,000 faithfulness. I want you families to see this. 848 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,040 He tells them to take 12 Stones as they cross the Jordan. 849 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,640 We only think promised land. We don't see process to promised 850 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:14,360 land. We only see he parted the Red 851 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:15,720 Sea. We don't see that they created a 852 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,000 more. We only see Noah getting out, 853 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:21,520 but we don't remember Noah made an altar and he said put the 854 01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,160 take these stones because your children one day go ask you what 855 01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,480 these stones are. In other words, I need you to do 856 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:33,000 something that's going that's going to provoke a question and 857 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,560 you going to tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut 858 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,280 off. God got us across in high 859 01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,840 season, high tide. There was no way that we were 860 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,280 supposed to make it in that season, but God performed a 861 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:49,920 miracle to assure our arrival at what He promised. 862 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,600 Memorials marked the ground of God's faithfulness. 863 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,880 Watch this question. If your children asked you 864 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,040 today, what has God done in your family? 865 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,760 What stories would you tell? Would they know about the 866 01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,600 miracles? Would they know about the 867 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,280 prayers? Would they know about the nights 868 01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:20,640 God came through? See, when you're when you come 869 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:27,960 out of a bloodline of slaves, then, then, then gratitude marks 870 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,920 the bloodline. No matter, no matter what you 871 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:36,920 say about a people, It's something about people who have 872 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,920 been in slavery or have been treated in justly. 873 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,320 Because the only way I made it through was a praise. 874 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:51,680 But but then I knew the only way I made it out was his goodness. 875 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:58,040 So even in some of the areas family may have been ignorant or 876 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,920 less intelligent, One thing they had was a praise. 877 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,280 And what I do understand, and I'm going to read this in the 878 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,920 end, we we're in a region where you pride yourself on 879 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:14,440 intelligence and you are more cognitive, you are more cerebral 880 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:21,680 than you are a celebratory. And So what you have is a lot of 881 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:25,040 celebration comes from people who come from different parts of 882 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:29,840 the world because celebration is a part of their roots. 883 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,960 This country's more Christian because people came here 884 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:44,200 Christian because if we if we do not tell the story, the next 885 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,360 generation will never know the faithfulness of God. 886 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,560 Some of y'all afraid to close the chapter. 887 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:53,280 That's why you can't start the praise because if you forget 888 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,440 deliverance, guys, you drift back towards slavery. 889 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,080 Romans 8 tells us we're no longer slaves. 890 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,080 But when you forget, just know every time you forget, every 891 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,440 time you get yourself in a complaining cycle, you're 892 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:15,960 heading towards bondage. And here's the warning. 893 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,160 Judges too says there was a generation grew up that didn't 894 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,200 know anything of God. Watch this. 895 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,920 We have a generation, some of us in here. 896 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,400 We are raising families and your kids going to know how to work 897 01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,400 hard. But if money ain't there, they 898 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:32,440 ain't going to know how to faith. 899 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,520 They ain't going now to persevere under pressure. 900 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,640 When people walk out on them, they're not going to know how to 901 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,520 stand right. What are you teaching your kids 902 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,760 confidences from? Where do your kids, where does 903 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:52,400 your family get confidence from? What miracle have you slowly 904 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:58,600 turned into an expectation? What miracle have you slowly 905 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:02,440 turned into an expectation? What blessing became normal? 906 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:06,520 What mercy became routine? Because familiarity with 907 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,680 blessing slowly silence his gratitude. 908 01:05:15,990 --> 01:05:20,190 Can I give you 5 things that happen when you forget? 909 01:05:20,190 --> 01:05:21,150 She. She. 910 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:36,200 Five things that happen when you forget #1 Entitlement replaces 911 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,080 gratitude. You turn that off. 912 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:46,400 Entitlement replaces gratitude. The Lord says my power and the 913 01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,840 might of my hand produce this wealth. 914 01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,520 This is called prosperity amnesia. 915 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:58,400 You, you forget God did it. You forget God prospered, You, 916 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,320 you forget. Man, let me tell you something 917 01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,600 right now I look, ain't it funny when somebody else realized how 918 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,720 blessed you are and you try to deny it, right? 919 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,360 It's this simple. Somebody tell you, you look good 920 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:15,600 and you like stop. No, I don't, because you feel 921 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,480 not beautiful, or you feel unhealthy or you feel whatever, 922 01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,240 you deny it. The same thing with God. 923 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,480 You, you're a man. Ain't nobody in here not 924 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:25,520 blessed. I don't care. 925 01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:29,760 Put everything you going through on the altar, run your list 926 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,840 down, and then I'm gonna run God's down. yo-yo, what God has 927 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,080 done for you in one day can't. You can't even match what you're 928 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:40,080 going through. Not to deny what you're going 929 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:46,400 through, but come on, magnify the Lord with me #2 What happens 930 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,400 when we forget? Fear increases. 931 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,880 Psalm 7711. That's why he says I will 932 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,560 remember the deeds of the Lord. Why is this? 933 01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:02,600 In the Bible, fear grows when memory shrinks. 934 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:09,960 He says they that you want to a man after God's own heart, no 935 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:19,640 matter his sin, he never forgot. It's crazy because his son built 936 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,160 God's a temple, right? This so. 937 01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,480 So no matter the sin that was inherited, no matter the 938 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:33,400 negative ripple, faithfulness rippled as well #3 the third 939 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,680 thing that happens when we forget. 940 01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:46,520 Idols multiply, idols multiply. Watch this substitutes for God 941 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:50,160 up here. So substitutes for peace appear. 942 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,360 Oh, I could just go do this and just calm down. 943 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,840 Well, even when you calm down, they don't mean you got peace. 944 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,240 Substitutes for financial provision instead of gyra. 945 01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:00,880 No, no, no, I'm going to go make this happen. 946 01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:11,280 Idols multiply #4 The fourth thing that happens when we 947 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,680 forget Honor erodes. You see it in church all the 948 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:16,920 time. People get familiar. 949 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,279 And the church that she was excited about, now you're so 950 01:08:19,279 --> 01:08:22,560 familiar with in your murmur and complain and guess what You're 951 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:27,399 doing Dishonor. Honor erodes. 952 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,880 When gratitude disappears, honor disappears. 953 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,880 You know that person in your life that that's such a blessing 954 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,680 to your life, but you're focused on what they're not doing for 955 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:45,920 you. What you're, you're you're 956 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:49,200 you're complaining about how they're not showing up, but 957 01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,800 you're ignoring all of this. It's it's that Adam and Eve 958 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,319 center. He just just don't eat from this 959 01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:55,840 one tree. Oh, you want to focus on this 960 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,560 one thing that person's not doing for you. 961 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,240 And now honor erodes. And now, before you know it, the 962 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,439 enemy got your mind and now he can whisper to you. 963 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:09,640 And when honor disappears, watch this relationships fracture. 964 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,439 Yeah, you might like me, but you don't honor me. 965 01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:16,439 This might be your church home, but it don't mean you honor your 966 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:21,479 church. If you honor your church, you 967 01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:23,560 had certain conversations you just wouldn't even allow to 968 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,160 enter your life. If you honor your pastors, your 969 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,680 elders, your friends, there's certain things you just wouldn't 970 01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:36,040 entertain, you wouldn't do. But there was a time you'd throw 971 01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:41,399 these things, but because you forgot, you forgot what this 972 01:09:41,399 --> 01:09:43,479 place meant to you. You forgot watch this. 973 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,800 You forgot what God said this place meant to you. 974 01:09:51,420 --> 01:09:56,020 And #5 the fifth thing, when we forget, watch this very 975 01:09:56,020 --> 01:09:58,780 important testimony, culture dies. 976 01:10:02,940 --> 01:10:05,540 We should have AI see why grandma on every Saturday had 977 01:10:05,540 --> 01:10:07,560 prayer. Prayer wasn't just like sit 978 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,880 there Father God. No, it was just like go around 979 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,280 and say, can you tell me what God is doing? 980 01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:14,080 Well, he bought me my Tonka truck. 981 01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:15,720 Amen. He brought to your Tonka truck. 982 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:22,640 OK, but but if no one tells the story, guys, this is what I know 983 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:27,520 about next door. God's building a testimony and 984 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,880 then guess what? You know how you go to museums, 985 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,040 we're going to walk around and we're going to we're going to 986 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,520 show you all them little places because why it takes so long? 987 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:36,640 It must not going to be happening. 988 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,320 It must know. No, it must be failing. 989 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:39,760 It must be man, get get out of here. 990 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,240 Do you know who's building the building God is? 991 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:45,640 You know who's providing for the building? 992 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,880 Even if you don't give, guess who is going to provide? 993 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,520 God. Did you get what I'm saying? 994 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,640 It's all God. You see how we said we think, 995 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,360 well, if I don't give, then they ain't going to get it. 996 01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,240 Or if I do give, they get out of here. 997 01:10:56,240 --> 01:11:01,480 You missing out, but we're going to walk over there four years, 998 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:08,680 four years, Troy, the people that were look, here's what I 999 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,440 look across the street when you leave, go look across the 1000 01:11:10,440 --> 01:11:12,040 street. Ain't no way. 1001 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:16,400 I am declaring at minimum 50% new believers going to be living 1002 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,560 in there looking for a church. And because we're in BCA, lot of 1003 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,680 people like churches that's close to where they live. 1004 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,320 So even if people got a church over here and they drive an 1005 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:27,000 hour, they go, they might be like, oh, that's the nice church 1006 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,520 down there. I ain't got to drive over there. 1007 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,120 I go to this church. But do you know the people, the 1008 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:35,040 lost people? Do you know how many people 1009 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:40,920 moving over there? More than enough to fit our 1010 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:48,880 building. Yeah, If no one tells the story, 1011 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,600 faith becomes theory instead of memory. 1012 01:12:00,300 --> 01:12:04,180 And then five things that happened when we do remember #1 1013 01:12:04,180 --> 01:12:09,140 faith rises. Testimony is oxygen to faith. 1014 01:12:10,620 --> 01:12:15,940 Testimony is oxygen to faith. My lungs expand when I begin to 1015 01:12:15,940 --> 01:12:17,780 testify. That's in the Bible. 1016 01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:23,400 My lungs expand when I put the praise of God on my lips. 1017 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,360 Testifying helps me breathe better. 1018 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:35,440 Testimony is oxygen for faith #2 Second thing that happens is joy 1019 01:12:35,440 --> 01:12:44,080 stabilizes when we remember the joy of the Lord is your strength 1020 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:47,880 and your stronghold. Number three thing. 1021 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:51,320 The third thing that happens when we remember is worship 1022 01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:56,400 becomes strong, praise becomes right. 1023 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,280 It's totally different when you worship from revelation. 1024 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,280 That's why some folks can't lift their hands because they don't 1025 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,800 got no revelation. Oh, these his hands, yes Sir, 1026 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:08,440 God's been good. Yes, I'm going to give him 1027 01:13:08,440 --> 01:13:10,320 everything. If I can lift whatever I'm going 1028 01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,560 to give it everything word should become strong. 1029 01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,920 Praise becomes real, not hype, not music, but memory. 1030 01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:19,640 How can I sit down when I remember his goodness? 1031 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,880 What the goodness of God should just cause like like what gets 1032 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,640 you excited? You get excited about going out 1033 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,600 to a nice dinner and you see you get that film excitement or that 1034 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,120 that good song man, come on the memory of the goodness of God. 1035 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,240 He's been faithful from generation to generation. 1036 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:38,640 Number four thing when we remember generations gain 1037 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,240 identity. Come on, come on. 1038 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:42,840 Can I give you a fist pump on this one, EJ? 1039 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:47,800 People don't understand that testimony forms character, 1040 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:50,920 right. My kids, my kids know the 1041 01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:52,760 goodness of God. They're not just observing. 1042 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:53,840 Oh, OK. What? 1043 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,360 No couch there now It's the couch there. 1044 01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,320 OK, Well, I guess God did bless us. 1045 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,280 No, no, no, no, no. This is why I tell our stories 1046 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,360 in the house. And and sometimes our kids hear 1047 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,680 stories sitting there, but they hear it over and over. 1048 01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,200 So you know when they get married, do you know the kind of 1049 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,360 hope they going to have when trouble hit their marriage? 1050 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,440 They didn't just see Mama be married. 1051 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,720 They heard of how we could have gave up. 1052 01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:25,520 They heard of how it was hard. They heard about the first five 1053 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,400 years. There's things you all know 1054 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:33,440 about my life. They heard how God brought us 1055 01:14:33,440 --> 01:14:39,800 out of them tents. You see how God blessed us and 1056 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,960 we didn't have to watch the tents this winter. 1057 01:14:45,440 --> 01:14:46,760 Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Sir. 1058 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,160 Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Sir. 1059 01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:51,480 Thank you, Sir. Right, right. 1060 01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:52,760 People don't know why we shook their hand. 1061 01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:54,520 Because there's a few young men in here. 1062 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,960 Overnight on a Saturday, they would sleep in the office and 1063 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,680 scrape snow off the tent because we lost some tents before. 1064 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,440 So it's a few young men. Young men, young men, young men. 1065 01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:07,160 Pastor. And I didn't even have to ask 1066 01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:11,400 them. They saw, oh, no, that's the 1067 01:15:11,440 --> 01:15:13,280 House of God. But watch this, watch this. 1068 01:15:13,480 --> 01:15:16,960 And then I got to go back because faithfulness ripples. 1069 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:24,840 No, no, it wasn't they, Mama and Daddy watching the tents, but 1070 01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:29,040 they saw Mama and Daddy. You, you see the elders 1071 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,840 constantly here. Oh, oh, yes, Sir. 1072 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,800 Yes. We and their kids, they got 1073 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,600 faithfulness in their bones, right? 1074 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:37,160 Right. You see? 1075 01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:40,160 You see Judah? You see, you see Judah. 1076 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,320 He's faithful. You don't think this young man 1077 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,440 tired? You don't think this young man 1078 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,680 he tests all? You don't think this young man 1079 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:48,560 got temptation? You don't think when the wind 1080 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:50,000 blew, this young man wasn't tempted? 1081 01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,480 You don't think he got friends? But where's his mom and his 1082 01:15:52,480 --> 01:15:54,680 daddy? Elder faithfulness. 1083 01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:56,760 What's this? What's this? 1084 01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,560 What's this? I, I I've only met Noel's 1085 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:06,080 parents one time. Met his mom one time, but boy, I 1086 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:12,200 don't got to meet them to know his parents was faithful, right? 1087 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,720 Faithful faithfulness. But watch when, when, when, 1088 01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:19,080 when, when, when, when there ain't no quit in the bloodline. 1089 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,800 When your kids don't see quit and wavering and hopping all 1090 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:27,120 over the place and they don't see no, we need faithfulness in 1091 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:31,240 a generation. These I know their kids been 1092 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,600 seeing their parents get hurt. I've heard the stories. 1093 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,840 So how did mommy and daddy handle people hurting them? 1094 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,320 And then how how they handled it determine how they handled it 1095 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,360 and how they handled it taught them how to handle it when it 1096 01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:52,800 happened to them when they gone. So is it worth fixing your 1097 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,200 marriage? Absolutely. 1098 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,760 So you can get divorced out of your bloodline, So you and you 1099 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,680 and your wife might tolerate each other, but the next 1100 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,760 generation, they ain't going to have no intimacy. 1101 01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,520 They ain't going to never know what public affection looks 1102 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:08,640 like. They ain't going to never hear 1103 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,960 that daddy called a Mama. Sweetie, honey, you OK? 1104 01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,680 They ain't going to never see yo-yo Mama or your dad. 1105 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:22,080 No, you are modeling generation to generation. 1106 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,280 So it's worth fixing that marriage. 1107 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,160 It's worth fighting for your health. 1108 01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,200 It's worth fighting for your mental health. 1109 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:34,240 It's worth your kids saying, I don't got to, I don't got to ask 1110 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:38,120 my kid to go out there and work out and and chase his NBA dreams 1111 01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,360 when he was young. You can go back on Instagram. 1112 01:17:40,480 --> 01:17:43,920 He saw his daddy on his treadmill, he saw his Mama, he 1113 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,720 saw his Mama and his daddy running. 1114 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,080 Was it matter if we wanted to or not? 1115 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,040 So now when he got to grind for what's his, when he got to fight 1116 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,240 for his health, he's not just like, how do I do that? 1117 01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:02,720 Watch this, watch this. And the person that teaches your 1118 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:07,360 kids the basics might have the door to give them the poison. 1119 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:18,240 So sometimes daddy ain't never took daughter nowhere and some 1120 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:22,640 guy come along and take him. But they were that person 1121 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,240 because they never experienced that. 1122 01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:27,400 That son never experienced affection. 1123 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,480 So the first person that show him affection now has his heart. 1124 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:37,120 And now once he has his heart, now I can testifying his 1125 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:45,880 protection as well. Generations gain identity lastly 1126 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:58,480 #5 identity becomes firm. What a shame it would be if we 1127 01:18:58,480 --> 01:19:00,480 drag our kids to church, raise our kids in church. 1128 01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:06,120 They get older and they walk away from church because it was 1129 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,920 just church. See, church don't keep people 1130 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,560 like that. But when people understand the 1131 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:17,200 God that they serve, like think about what the Bible is, it's 1132 01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,520 listen, people want to argue about the Bible and really it's 1133 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:26,800 God just left us a testimony. OK, Old Testament, New 1134 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,240 Testament. It's showing God's faithfulness 1135 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,480 throughout generations throughout history. 1136 01:19:32,480 --> 01:19:35,680 And we sitting here arguing and can't just focus on what God's 1137 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,600 good in in judges got the oh that's wrong. 1138 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:44,680 You can't speak God's good. He's good in Genesis. 1139 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,920 He's good in Leviticus, He's good in Exodus, he's good in 1140 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:49,320 Deuteronomy. He's good. 1141 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,960 He's good in January, he's good in April. 1142 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,640 May, he's good. Ain't that the good news? 1143 01:20:04,270 --> 01:20:13,830 British Columbia. That was a I'm sorry, I 1144 01:20:13,830 --> 01:20:14,750 shouldn't have left that in there. 1145 01:20:14,750 --> 01:20:18,670 That was that was options graphic. 1146 01:20:18,670 --> 01:20:20,030 I didn't want to. Yeah. 1147 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,840 Thank you. That that wasn't a part of it. 1148 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:24,400 Amen. They like, what's that? 1149 01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:29,480 OK, OK. But I kept it in there so I can 1150 01:20:29,480 --> 01:20:36,640 save the colors. It's that Campbell game right 1151 01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:37,680 there. It's that Campbell game right 1152 01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:42,200 there. What's this? 1153 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:48,600 British Columbia? We have a quiet form of 1154 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:54,920 unbelief. It's not loud rebellion, it's 1155 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:59,960 just quiet independence. Life becomes comfortable for us 1156 01:21:00,480 --> 01:21:05,280 and faith becomes private. Gratitude becomes silent. 1157 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,560 But in this house, I believe we just a little bit different. 1158 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:15,520 We will be a house that remembers, a house that praises, 1159 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,560 a house that marks the ground of God's faithfulness. 1160 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:29,640 I want to ask you a question. Where has gratitude gone silent 1161 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:35,320 in your life? Where has gratitude gone silent 1162 01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:39,240 in your life? Where have you under 1163 01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,640 appreciated? Where you should even over 1164 01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:46,800 appreciate where have you gotten so familiar is I don't even 1165 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,800 bring flowers. I don't even bring a balloon no 1166 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:49,960 more. It's just happy birthday. 1167 01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:51,560 It's where have you in your marriage? 1168 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,080 Where are you just so familiar? That's just my husband. 1169 01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:57,560 He he well, let me help some of your wives. 1170 01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:01,240 Your husband like surprises too. And some husbands like flowers. 1171 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,960 It don't got to be a birthday. Let me help culture. 1172 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,400 Females ain't the only ones that like spontaneous gifts, 1173 01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:13,080 spontaneous attention. Don't. 1174 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:19,320 Don't celebrate me casually when you caught me with excitement. 1175 01:22:24,550 --> 01:22:28,270 Culture wants you to think that one gender likes this more than 1176 01:22:28,310 --> 01:22:31,350 the others. Where? 1177 01:22:31,350 --> 01:22:33,350 Where have you stopped celebrating your spouse? 1178 01:22:35,510 --> 01:22:37,990 Watch this. Where are you tired of 1179 01:22:37,990 --> 01:22:41,600 celebrating them? Be careful, even when they 1180 01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,360 birthday come around, you kind of celebrate it, but you 1181 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:48,920 celebrate everybody's with like don't celebrate your kids more 1182 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:56,440 than you celebrate your spouse. Where has gratitude drifted? 1183 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:07,000 I just declare we're a House of praise and a house that marks 1184 01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:08,720 the ground of God's faithfulness. 1185 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:21,040 We cannot stop remembering. We cannot stop remembering 1186 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:30,200 because I personally feel like a part of Love Quest's journey for 1187 01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,400 these last eight years or however long it's been. 1188 01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:36,680 It's been a long time for my wife and I, but it's like the 1189 01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:41,000 children in the wilderness. I am just coming in the point, 1190 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,760 I'll be honest, where I haven't stopped fighting, but I've let 1191 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:50,040 my faith rest. No, no, no, that that sounds. 1192 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:55,760 I haven't stopped faith thing. Elder Brett, I've just turned 1193 01:23:55,760 --> 01:24:00,720 the deadline over to God. I'm not getting through the 1194 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:02,320 ribbon. He's going to bring me through 1195 01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:07,640 the ribbon. And if it's five more years, if 1196 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:12,280 it's two more years, if it's two months, if it's two weeks, I am 1197 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,280 not waiting for anything but God. 1198 01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:23,000 The pressures of meeting other people's expectations, can we 1199 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:29,080 put those down? Can you think as we close can 1200 01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:40,400 you think of one thing one thing that God has brought you through 1201 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:46,040 or out of and if you're flooded with 10 every everyone thank you 1202 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,920 Lord, thank you Lord. But what I challenge you is as 1203 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:54,040 the Holy Spirit brings that memory back to the faithfulness 1204 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:58,520 of God. If you're if you're not ashamed, 1205 01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,200 just give God some sort of praise. 1206 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:05,080 Rather it's quiet, rather it's a shout, rather it's a dance, 1207 01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,480 rather the music fits the pace, rather it's you lift your hands 1208 01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:12,440 rather it's you on your knees. But today what I want to end is 1209 01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:15,480 I want to memorialize this place. 1210 01:25:15,480 --> 01:25:20,680 When we give our offering today, let it be a memorial offering. 1211 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:25,680 Let it be something that's saying God you did it before you 1212 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,280 going to do it again not you can do it again you going to do it 1213 01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:33,360 again. I want to end this day with 1214 01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:35,160 grad. I don't care what you're going 1215 01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:38,440 through. Watch this couples if you 1216 01:25:38,440 --> 01:25:42,960 beefing with your spouse, maybe this is a time where you grab 1217 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,200 their hand and y'all be thankful together. 1218 01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,880 I promise you, a house divided cannot stand. 1219 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,680 That's the Bible and God does not go back on His word. 1220 01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:53,760 So So what? You showed up at church? 1221 01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:58,160 If you don't leave unified, then you are giving the enemy. 1222 01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,600 God healed me and God healed you. 1223 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:16,840 So are you OK taking the next couple of minutes to remember 1224 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,760 and those that are unashamed, let a let, let a let a worship 1225 01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:31,360 rise from within your belly as the Holy Spirit brings to 1226 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,520 remembrance. Ain't it funny? 1227 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:39,200 He says as often as you do this, do this in remembrance. 1228 01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,480 There's something about the memory. 1229 01:26:46,890 --> 01:27:16,060 Go for it. You at home, even if you want to 1230 01:27:16,060 --> 01:27:20,620 write it down, however your brain works, you want to write 1231 01:27:20,620 --> 01:27:24,100 it down, whatever it is.

Today we are switching our 1234 01:27:31,740 --> 01:27:37,080 posture. Negativity will not be the 1235 01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:47,080 landlord of my mind. This is why the Bible hates and 1236 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:50,000 shuns gossip. Because gossip. 1237 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:55,680 It causes you to forget the goodness of God that is in 1238 01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:59,520 people, the goodness of God that God is doing in the land. 1239 01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:08,840 With our phones, all we can do is look at negativity all day. 1240 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,040 So there's a fight for our memory. 1241 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,960 But right now I come against if it's in your bloodline. 1242 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,320 I come against dementia in the name of Jesus. 1243 01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:23,920 Your grandmama, your daddy, your, your Mama may have had it, 1244 01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,480 but I break it now in the name of Jesus. 1245 01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,160 I break the spirit of Alzheimer's in the name of 1246 01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,840 Jesus.
