00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,480
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
the Love Quest International 

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

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

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

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

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

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

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,200
Let's get into it. 
Mighty warrior, great in Bible. 

9
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,840
I'm glad to be in the House of 
God just one more time. 

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Yeah, it was a powerful week of 
tent meeting and gathering. 

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,640
And so if you yeah, go ahead, 
all the Patty cakes, come on. 

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,840
And so I know it's early, I know
it's cold, but you guys are 

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,440
champs. 
You guys are champs. 

14
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Y'all came and get to get fed 
early. 

15
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,560
I wish I could explain what 
happened this week but I will 

16
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,760
say that this house is not the 
same and I pray those that 

17
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,920
didn't make it somehow you will 
benefit from what God did this 

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,960
week through His people, what 
he's established through his 

19
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:32,320
people and how He is resting in 
this house. 5 days of alignment 

20
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:39,400
and reorienting and refreshing. 
And I would say true revival 

21
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:45,440
happened because great 
revelation was entrusted to us. 

22
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,720
And yeah, next time we have some
gatherings outside of Sunday, 

23
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,080
make a decision that you just 
won't be a Sunday St. because 

24
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,360
that's the day the world said 
you go to church. 

25
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Let's go beyond what the world 
tells us we should do, right? 

26
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,360
We get dressed up in nights on 
Easter or Christmas, we get real

27
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,840
happy and we give on Christmas. 
Let's be the church. 

28
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880
If you a Christian, yeah, I'm 
calling you out. 

29
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Be one. 
Your presence matters. 

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Not one person in this room can 
be replaced If God's presence 

31
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,960
matters, for sure. 
If you're his child, your 

32
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,000
presence matters. 
And so understand if this is a 

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,880
house that you belong to and you
have rubbed shoulders with 

34
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,440
people, people miss you like I 
when I see faces, you might 

35
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,640
think I don't know you like 
that, but I'm glad to see you. 

36
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,240
And so you got to start knowing 
what you contribute to people by

37
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,400
just merely you showing up 
again, you're an encouragement. 

38
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,120
Your presence is an 
encouragement. 

39
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,120
But if you like to sit in church
looking frowny face and 

40
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,920
attitude, then we don't miss 
that at all. 

41
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,480
And we, we glad you, we praying 
for you. 

42
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,200
But if you but you got to 
understand Constipation is not 

43
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,680
the will of God. 
Amen. 

44
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:23,560
All right, so Amen. 
So. 

45
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,600
Amen. 
Let's pray. 

46
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,520
Father, we thank you today for 
your word. 

47
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Lord, we thank you that the veil
is torn and we have access and 

48
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
we've come to your throne 
boldly. 

49
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,560
Thank you for having a seat for 
us in your house as your sons 

50
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,080
and daughters. 
Father, someone's here today and

51
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,800
they're on their last leg. 
They're on their last hope. 

52
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,800
There's they're, they're, 
they're swimming and stress. 

53
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,920
They're swimming and anxiety. 
They're looking for clarity. 

54
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,800
They're looking for a burden to 
lift. 

55
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Lord, and I ask that you touch 
right now. 

56
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,400
You said you sent your word to 
heal our disease. 

57
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Disease is not just cancers, 
it's not ulcers, it's not just 

58
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,560
it's father. 
Disease is is double mindedness 

59
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:30,600
and busyness and anxiety and 
control issues and trust issues.

60
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Lord, there's a word to free 
every single person. 

61
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:45,160
So we thank you today, we trade 
our sorrows for joy, and I thank

62
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,400
you that your word will shatter 
every hard place and lift every 

63
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640
burden. 
And as your word says, Lord, 

64
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,960
those that are sitting here 
hungry and thirsty, you promise 

65
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,200
to fill them. 
So if that's you today, expect 

66
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,960
to be filled. 
Expect to be filled. 

67
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,360
I'll say it one more time. 
Expect to be filled. 

68
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Now I know it's cold. 
One way to get warm is to move 

69
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,440
your hands. 
Cold. 

70
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,520
You can clap your face. 
Cold. 

71
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,120
You can say Hallelujah. 
Yeah, Amen. 

72
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,520
That many cold faces. 
Amen. 

73
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,960
But the Spirit of the Lord is 
here. 

74
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,200
Before I move, let's lift our 
hands and just. 

75
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,360
The Lord is here. 
The Liberator is here. 

76
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:51,540
The Healer is here. 
The the Lord of the Breakthrough

77
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:55,660
is here. 
The Father is here, The Creator 

78
00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:58,780
is here. 
I declare over you that you are 

79
00:05:58,780 --> 00:06:03,800
good ground, that the spirit of 
revelation and wisdom rest up on

80
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,080
you, and you are free from 
hearing in error. 

81
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,480
I am free from speaking in 
error. 

82
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,160
Lord, let your prophetic 
presence and gifting flow 

83
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,040
through this place. 
Apostolic authority flow through

84
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,200
this place. 
Lord, I thank you every mantle 

85
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,160
that has been laid down or put 
aside, that it is resurrected 

86
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,040
today. 
Gifts come alive, hope come 

87
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:36,600
alive, revelation come alive in 
Jesus name. 

88
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:46,070
Last week we established 
something foundational. 

89
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:55,030
We learned that stillness is not
calm and rest is not inactivity.

90
00:06:56,710 --> 00:07:00,430
Stillness is the moment we all 
step out. 

91
00:07:00,430 --> 00:07:05,360
Of unauthorized authority and 
motion. 

92
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Stillness in Scripture begins 
when self governance ends. 

93
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:22,440
Stillness in Scripture begins 
when self governance ends. 

94
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,960
We saw it in the storm. 
Jesus did not negotiate with the

95
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,840
sea. 
He commanded it to peace, be 

96
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,960
still. 
Peace followed authority. 

97
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,240
Stillness came before the 
atmosphere changed. 

98
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,200
Stillness. 
Came before the atmosphere 

99
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,160
changed. 
We saw it in the Prodigal Son. 

100
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,320
The famine, if you remember, was
not punishment. 

101
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:03,640
The famine was mercy. 
When authority was resisted, God

102
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,720
removed the very things that 
made running possible. 

103
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:18,960
When authority was resisted, God
removed the very things that 

104
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:25,960
made running possible. 
Not to punish him, but to make 

105
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,120
stillness unavoidable. 
I believe there's some people 

106
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,880
who've been here before, been 
there before, where you just had

107
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,919
no choice but to be still 
because drought happened. 

108
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:42,480
Folks walked away. 
Watch this job stop calling. 

109
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:52,760
Opportunities withered. 
We learned this that rest is the

110
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,800
evidence. 
That you trust God to govern 

111
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:04,160
what you choose not to control. 
Rest is the evidence. 

112
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,080
Rest is fruit. 
That you finally trust God to 

113
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,680
govern what you choose not to 
control. 

114
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:21,160
Somebody say let it go. 
What we understand with the 

115
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,800
prodigal son, and like many of 
us have experienced, that was 

116
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,200
forced stillness. 
He was forced to be still, 

117
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,240
otherwise death would have 
happened. 

118
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,160
By distraction. 
God was stopping motion. 

119
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,320
We refuse to stop. 
He stopped movement that we 

120
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,520
refuse to stop. 
And today we move into another 

121
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,240
dimension. 
Another dimension. 

122
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,040
It's not crises, It's not 
famine, and it's not storms. 

123
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,040
Are you with me? 
It's not dramatic. 

124
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,200
It's not crises. 
It's not it's not famine. 

125
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,560
It's not storms. 
It's not waves and seas. 

126
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,200
It's it's not enemies, it's 
everyday discipleship, it's 

127
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,840
everyday devotion. 
And we're dealing with everyday 

128
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,960
distractions, just normal life 
stuff that's real normal with 

129
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,760
everybody. 
Because many of us follow me, do

130
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:25,320
not resist God with rebellion, 
we resist God with busyness. 

131
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,040
You've been thinking it's all 
rebellion. 

132
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,760
You've been thinking it's all 
oh, I don't smoke, I don't 

133
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,680
drink, I don't. 
I don't commit adultery, I don't

134
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:42,200
sleep around, I don't. 
But you have made busyness and 

135
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,440
idol Bible calls you a spiritual
adulteress. 

136
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,840
Because you have divided 
attention, also divided 

137
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:02,480
affection. 
Last week at Love Quest, God 

138
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:09,360
enforced stillness. 
This week he invites you. 

139
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,480
To release your grip and let the
Holy Ghost ride the whip. 

140
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,560
Yeah, those that don't know what
a. 

141
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:25,520
Whip is it's a vehicle. 
Somebody say whip, it's a 

142
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,160
vehicle. 
Look at your neighbors, say if 

143
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:38,640
you don't know, now you know. 
Release your grip. 

144
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,800
There are moments when God does 
not stop the storm. 

145
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:52,200
There are moments when God sends
the famine or allows the famine.

146
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,760
There's moments where he will 
not command the sea to be still 

147
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:05,200
or the winds to be still. 
There are moments when God is 

148
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:11,280
not confronting rebellion or 
he's not correcting 

149
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,720
disobedience. 
He is addressing control. 

150
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,680
I'm going to read that again. 
There are moments when God does 

151
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:26,320
not stop the storm, send the 
famine, or command the wind. 

152
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,480
There are moments when God just 
lets you do you and what He's 

153
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,800
addressing is your control 
issues. 

154
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Lord help. 
Some of us in here who don't 

155
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,640
think we got control issues 
watch this. 

156
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,240
A part of gotta grind is 
control. 

157
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,960
I got to make sure I'm not 
broke. 

158
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,520
Well, wait a minute. 
Didn't you sow seed? 

159
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,600
If you sow seed, do you trust 
that when you sow you shall 

160
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,960
reap? 
When you sow that God is 

161
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:03,360
responsible to press it down, 
shake it together, make sure it 

162
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,800
runs over, and cause men to give
in your bosom. 

163
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,360
So do you trust your seed? 
Do you trust God with your seed?

164
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Because you should not be 
living, sowing, but not 

165
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,280
expecting the harvest of a 
sower. 

166
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,040
Control. 
He is addressing control. 

167
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:36,160
And that brings us to this 
mountain in the Bible First 

168
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,880
Kings 19 a hurricane wind ripped
through the mountains and 

169
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:47,840
shattered the rocks before God. 
But God wasn't to be found in 

170
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,080
the wind after the wind and 
earthquake. 

171
00:13:53,360 --> 00:14:00,400
But God wasn't in the earthquake
and after the earthquake fire, 

172
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:08,680
but God wasn't in the. 
Fire and after the fire a gentle

173
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:18,520
and quiet whispered when Elijah.
Heard the quiet voice, he 

174
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,360
muffled his face with his great 
cloak. 

175
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,000
In other words, the fear of God.
This was an act of reverence as 

176
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,480
he realized he was in an 
encounter. 

177
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,440
Watch this. 
He went to the mouth of The Cave

178
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,800
and he stood there. 
A quiet voice asked. 

179
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:48,640
So Elijah, now tell me, what are
you doing here? 

180
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:58,440
How did you get in this cave? 
How did your life end up here? 

181
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,480
How did your mental state end up
here? 

182
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Elijah said it again, meaning 
this is his second time stating 

183
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,760
this statement. 
I've been working my heart out 

184
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,920
for God, the God of the Angel 
armies. 

185
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,320
What did he say? 
I've been working my heart out 

186
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,800
for God because the people of 
Israel have abandoned your 

187
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:37,360
covenant, destroyed your places 
of worship, and murdered your 

188
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,280
prophets. 
Here it is. 

189
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,960
I'm the only one left and now 
they're trying to kill me before

190
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480
we move forward. 
And it's funny how you think you

191
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:54,440
the only one that could change 
it, but also all your busyness 

192
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,960
is because others if you don't 
do it, this won't change. 

193
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:05,760
If I'm not there, then it won't 
happen, he says. 

194
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:12,240
I'm the only one left and now 
they're trying kill me. 

195
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,920
Before we move forward, I want 
to say this that no man is 

196
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:25,320
greater than his prayer life. 
No man or woman in this place is

197
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,800
no greater than your prayer 
life. 

198
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:39,760
What we see here is God is like 
you did not arrive at this cave 

199
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,040
by obedience. 
It's coming. 

200
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:51,800
They just trying to it's coming.
You arrived at this cave by 

201
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:59,440
overload. 
God asked him a question like he

202
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,480
asked Adam where are you? 
God will often ask questions to 

203
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:10,440
bring exposure, so he says, how 
did you get here? 

204
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,160
In other words, you didn't 
arrive because I told you to get

205
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:21,240
here. 
Elijah fought for God publicly 

206
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,839
without resting in God 
privately. 

207
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,160
I remember asking our men a 
while ago, are you a covenant 

208
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,560
man or a caveman? 
We got a lot of Cavemen. 

209
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:49,280
Christians watch this. 
Guilt and shame never will heal 

210
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,680
or correct. 
Just so we understand God's 

211
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,480
heart right here. 
So God slowed him down to save 

212
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,000
him. 
Got God allowed a moment where 

213
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,680
movement paused, seemingly 
drought. 

214
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,080
Life was over. 
Just so God can get to this 

215
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:14,280
moment to expose something. 
He's not exposing rebellion. 

216
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,480
He's not exposing any of that. 
Watch this. 

217
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,600
He wasn't in the fire. 
He wasn't in the earthquake. 

218
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:35,280
He wasn't in the wind. 
Elijah did not collapse during 

219
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,200
the battle, folks. 
He collapsed after breakthrough.

220
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:51,280
This is shortly after victory. 
He gets a letter from Jezebel 

221
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:57,160
threatening his life, A letter 
threatening his life because she

222
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,200
is overthrown, because this man 
has killed all these prophets of

223
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:08,320
it. 
He defeats all these men, and 

224
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:14,680
then right after victory, fear 
comes, exhaustion comes. 

225
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,160
God says, hey, buddy, how'd you 
get here? 

226
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,600
Elijah did not fail morally. 
He overextended himself 

227
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,240
spiritually. 
He is not merely fearing death. 

228
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,640
He is experiencing the crushing 
realization that a public 

229
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,400
victory did not produce systemic
change. 

230
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,000
Are you with me? 
Some, some of y'all just looking

231
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,160
on the screen and you can't 
listen till you see it on the 

232
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,840
screen? 
Hear me? 

233
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,200
Just listen. 
Hallelujah. 

234
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,080
He is this is he. 
He's he's not merely fearing 

235
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,200
death. 
He didn't do anything immoral, 

236
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:04,160
but he's come to the realization
that a public victory and all 

237
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,480
his success didn't produce 
systemic change. 

238
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,880
It didn't change his 
insecurities. 

239
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Some of y'all have so much 
success, but you still live in 

240
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,720
fear. 
You still live with your hand on

241
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,960
the steering wheel. 
Watch this. 

242
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,000
God does not rebuke him. 
God feeds him. 

243
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,600
We we, we didn't read this, but 
in context. 

244
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,400
The brother's tired and an Angel
feeds him. 

245
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,600
We'll get there in a moment. 
God feeds him. 

246
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,680
He doesn't rebuke him. 
Ain't it funny how when you 

247
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,720
going through it and you weep, 
God still provides. 

248
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Watch this guys here. 
Here's what you might miss. 

249
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,360
God is providing while he's 
running the wrong way. 

250
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,720
Do not think provision is 
approval. 

251
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,760
What you got to realize is 
you're being provided for 

252
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,600
because he's a good, good 
father. 

253
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,440
That's who you are. 
I don't care how crazy my kids 

254
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,360
act, I am going to provide for 
them. 

255
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:27,480
The bare necessities bear. 
He is not merely fearing death, 

256
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,480
guys, but the Angel feeds him 
twice. 

257
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,600
This tells us something very 
crucial. 

258
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:41,040
Lock in, lock in. 
God honors the body as part of 

259
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,960
spiritual obedience. 
God's feeding him even while 

260
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,800
he's panicking, while he's 
running, and while he's 

261
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,200
exhausted. 
Because I'm not going to let you

262
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,040
die of starvation when I am 
trying to get you to a place 

263
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,960
where I can whisper to you. 
So I am providing you to a place

264
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:08,440
where I can sit you down, He 
said. 

265
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,680
Oh, you want your inheritance 
here? 

266
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,000
Take it. 
It's going to lead you to the 

267
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,280
pigpen. 
God will provide so you can end 

268
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:24,000
up where he could talk to you. 
God, I would call him slick, but

269
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,320
he ain't slick. 
He just all wise. 

270
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,880
And how often we think provision
is approval is God's stamp. 

271
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,280
And then we end up in the pig 
pen. 

272
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,120
We just like, wait a minute, I 
thought it was a blessing. 

273
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:41,520
You don't know it was provision 
so that it can run out. 

274
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,040
Elijah is not weak, guys. 
Elijah is spent. 

275
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,480
He's not weak. 
He's spent. 

276
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,800
Anybody in here, have you ever 
hit spent before? 

277
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,040
Have you ever been spent? 
Wow. 

278
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,920
After service, can I talk to 
some of you guys who are looking

279
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,000
around like you'll lie, like you
ain't never been exhausted? 

280
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,560
So I want to know what you own, 
OK? 

281
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,200
Elijah is spent. 
He is exhausted. 

282
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,440
Watch this. 
And exhaustion will always 

283
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:27,600
distort perception. 
It's why I don't like making 

284
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,640
plans at the end of the Sunday. 
I'm spent. 

285
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,400
I have learned in the past, I'll
say yes to people. 

286
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,360
I'll say yeah, let's get coffee 
this week. 

287
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:40,080
And then they reach back out to 
get coffee. 

288
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,560
I'm like, why did I say I wanted
to get coffee with you? 

289
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,360
I did not want Elder John. 
Can you go have coffee with 

290
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:50,280
them, please? 
I, I committed. 

291
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,880
Watch this. 
I committed in an exhausted 

292
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,040
season. 
Some of y'all got into 

293
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,920
relationships because you was 
exhausted and instead of getting

294
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,920
help from a prayer partner, you 
thought you needed a man. 

295
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,640
Some of us moved in an exhausted
season. 

296
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,200
It's quiet, right? 
Some of us exhausting will 

297
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,040
always distort perception. 
You thought you heard God 

298
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,200
exhausted. 
Now that was a demon. 

299
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,240
But that's that's that's 
Hallelujah. 

300
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,840
Thank you Jesus. 
So, so, so, so why The Cave? 

301
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,720
Let's look at this. 
Why The Cave, guys? 

302
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,440
Why The Cave? 
Why The Cave? 

303
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,160
Elijah travels 40 days and 40 
nights to Mount Horab Sinai. 

304
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,560
Watch this. 
That is not accidental and this 

305
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,200
is something we need to learn. 
Horeb is where where Moses 

306
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,480
encountered God, where the 
covenant was given, and where 

307
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,800
Law, fire and trembling once 
happened. 

308
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Watch this. 
Elijah is subconsciously running

309
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,440
back to a familiar model and 
pattern of God. 

310
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,040
He is running to a place where 
he saw God's hand move before. 

311
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,520
He is hoping that God will meet 
him the way he met Moses, 

312
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,440
through power signs and wonders.
He's hoping that God meets him 

313
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,800
in this powerful way. 
So he goes and he says that's 

314
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,960
must be where God shows out. 
Let me let me go here. 

315
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,600
Because this is where exhausted 
men go. 

316
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,760
Watch this. 
God is saying you didn't arrive 

317
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,120
here by rest buddy. 
You arrived here by running. 

318
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,120
You in this situation by running
you got money. 

319
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:55,120
But you unhappy you got in this 
situation by running, not rest. 

320
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,320
You do know REST can transport 
you? 

321
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:05,480
Hallelujah. 
The Cave represents isolation, 

322
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,920
narrow perspective, and internal
echo chambers. 

323
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,520
Elijah is not hiding from 
Jezebel anymore. 

324
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,640
You ready for this? 
You ready for this drop? 

325
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,200
Elijah is not running from 
Jezebel. 

326
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:27,080
He is hiding from complexity. 
He is living in a complex season

327
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,040
in his life and he is wondering,
whoa buddy, how did we get here?

328
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,760
I'm about to help a few of y'all
real good today. 

329
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:41,360
God was not absent from the 
storm, He just refused to be 

330
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:48,400
known through the storm. 
Watch this God refusing to be 

331
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:54,560
reduced to spectacle. 
There's a move in in a church. 

332
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,080
We only think God move when a 
leg grow. 

333
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,480
So you have hyper spiritual 
people who only chase revival 

334
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,040
but ain't rooted in a local 
church. 

335
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,680
You on YouTube following the 
supernatural when you don't even

336
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,200
know the fundamentals of the 
faith, you do not know how to 

337
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,920
witness. 
All you want is to know God 

338
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,760
through spectacle and God says I
am not introducing myself to you

339
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,480
through a miracle sign and 
wonder. 

340
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,520
So God said I'm not showing up 
in the fire, I'm not showing up 

341
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,080
in the wind because I have 
something higher for you. 

342
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,320
What would it look like if you 
didn't need a miracle? 

343
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,240
Since when needing a miracle was
the sign God would. 

344
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,240
So we lay our miracle. 
God, do this, God, burn this 

345
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,520
Bush. 
God blow. 

346
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:57,280
He said no, no, no, no. 
I refuse to be known through a 

347
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,560
show. 
That's not intimacy. 

348
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:12,120
That's signs and wonders. 
Watch this God was correcting 

349
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:15,440
expectation rather than 
withholding power. 

350
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,200
Power does not always announce 
itself with noise. 

351
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,000
How many people, let me help 
myself today, think that God is 

352
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,760
moving because you got, you got 
to be careful being led by signs

353
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,720
and wonders because that mean 
you got to sense it, you got to 

354
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,120
feel it, you got to taste it. 
And that's not how God's 

355
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,000
children roll. 
Those that are led by the 

356
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,600
Spirit, not led by signs and 
wonders. 

357
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,760
Like if your request is God, I 
need you to do this three times.

358
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,120
Guess what? 
I don't think he works like that

359
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,480
most of the time. 
Guess who does, though? 

360
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,200
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

361
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,440
God was correcting expectation. 
Here it is. 

362
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,480
Silence wasn't the lesson. 
Better yet, discernment was the 

363
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,000
lesson. 
I'm trying to teach you how to 

364
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,720
hear me. 
I'm tired of throwing shows for 

365
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,560
you. 
I'm tired of having to pay the 

366
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,840
bill or show up in a monetary 
way for you. 

367
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:31,040
You can't serve God and Mammon, 
therefore you always asking for 

368
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,560
signs that show up in mammon 
form. 

369
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,080
So why would a good good father 
train you through mammon? 

370
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,880
Am I talking to anybody? 
That's why Manna wasn't the 

371
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,040
destination. 
My provision is not this bread. 

372
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,240
My provision is the Holy Ghost. 
My provision is joy. 

373
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,960
It is peace. 
My provision is more than than 

374
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:58,440
just providing your daily needs.
God is bigger than your needs. 

375
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,480
Watch out, watch this guys. 
I need y'all to hear this. 

376
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:11,760
Elijah had to learn how to 
discern God without drama. 

377
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,400
Man, we such Christians love 
drama, especially in the church.

378
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,640
That's why we get made fun of. 
Always have been. 

379
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,680
So when people are teasing us, 
that's that's on us. 

380
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,240
We'll let God deal with him, but
that's on us because we actually

381
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,760
a lot of churches, they going to
give you what they think gets 

382
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:41,600
you moving and excited, hyper 
spiritual. 

383
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:51,240
But not hyper intimate. 
What do you do when God lowers 

384
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,560
his voice to grab your 
attention? 

385
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,320
What you do when God get quiet 
on you, What are you doing? 

386
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,080
God ain't speaking loud enough 
for you to hear him. 

387
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:13,870
So you got to keep you got to 
get this some some of us don't 

388
00:31:13,870 --> 00:31:16,030
see us. 
This Elijah had to learn how to 

389
00:31:16,030 --> 00:31:20,990
discern God without drama. 
This is why we we just do 

390
00:31:21,390 --> 00:31:25,110
worship short now because 
because especially not like 

391
00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:28,150
folks, you got to do too much to
get people engaged. 

392
00:31:28,150 --> 00:31:31,960
We got to ask you to raise your 
hands more than you are willing 

393
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,000
to raise your hands. 
We got to ask you to come on 

394
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,800
time. 
We got to ask you, we got to do 

395
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,800
all this dramatic. 
We got to do first time 

396
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,920
attendees and videos and we got 
to, we got to and you might be 

397
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,040
like, no, we don't. 
But watch even the TV's some 

398
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,720
can't listen because everything 
I say you look into there. 

399
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,680
So it's good we got this here 
and I do this for a reason and I

400
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,440
spell things out like I like. 
I'm not just giving a point. 

401
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,960
I'm spelling it out as I go 
because I understand in an all 

402
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,440
nations place that people. 
Read at different or or learn at

403
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,680
different speeds through 
different through different 

404
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,080
like. 
You need to see both. 

405
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,040
Like for me I need to hear and 
see but I also know how to hear 

406
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,440
if I don't see. 
But man, when I grew up, we 

407
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,280
didn't had ease in church. 
We just knew how to listen. 

408
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,520
If this ain't on first thing you
like is what's wrong? 

409
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:35,240
Like you need this drama. 
God did not move Elijah. 

410
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,480
He met him at The Cave. 
God did not stop him from going 

411
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,760
to The Cave. 
He actually fed him on the way 

412
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,120
to The Cave and said wherever 
you're running, you're going to 

413
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,840
need some strength. 
I need to make sure you get to 

414
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:56,400
wherever you think is safe. 
God did not move Elijah. 

415
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,720
He moved his perception. 
Sometime God doesn't change our 

416
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,040
circumstances. 
He changes who we're listening 

417
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:11,240
for. 
Are we here to decide? 

418
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,640
That you're with me. 
Don't care. 

419
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,480
OK. 
All right, All right. 

420
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,120
He changes who we're listening 
for. 

421
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,720
How many of you want wisdom from
somebody right when you're going

422
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,920
through, you got to, you got the
people you follow, you got the 

423
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Youtubes, you got the podcast 
you listen to, you're listening 

424
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,880
for. 
You're also listening for 

425
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:39,080
something and God says no, no, 
no. 

426
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,000
We got to change that to where 
you're listening for me. 

427
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,120
God does not correct him 
immediately. 

428
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,120
He recalibrates his perception 
first. 

429
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,120
I love this guys. 
God is not correcting him. 

430
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,040
You're not like what you doing 
here? 

431
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,080
What? 
Why you come here? 

432
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,760
Why you running from me? 
You rebellious? 

433
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,560
No, no, no, no. 
He is recalibrating him. 

434
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:09,400
God is so strategic, man, when 
your assessment of reality is 

435
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,199
being filtered through 
exhaustion. 

436
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,600
This is when your assessment of 
reality is being filtered 

437
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:30,949
through exhaustion. 
Before God corrects his 

438
00:34:30,989 --> 00:34:36,710
theology, he corrects his 
awareness. 

439
00:34:41,590 --> 00:34:45,510
The Whisper was not a new God. 
It was a new season. 

440
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,840
I challenge some of y'all, y'all
need to read your Bible. 

441
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,679
I could tell by this way. 
Some of y'all look y'all don't 

442
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:56,760
read your Bible. 
Y'all just trying to figure out 

443
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,720
who is who is Elijah y'all, you 
ain't never heard of this story.

444
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:03,400
Come on, come on, come on 
Saints, like for real, because I

445
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,360
could be telling you anything. 
I could be telling you anything.

446
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,680
And you wonder how some 
Christians ends up in cults 

447
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,880
because you don't know your 
word. 

448
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,160
You just come and you just want 
no, no, no, read your word, not 

449
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,400
not read your app, read your 
word for real. 

450
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,840
So when you come in here you can
you can be God can give you 

451
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:29,560
revelation, right, because you 
you in order to get revelation, 

452
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,240
you need foundation. 
Some of y'all have no 

453
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:36,520
foundation. 
You just up in here Elijah, huh?

454
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,960
Oh yeah, Elijah is in first 
James chapter 20 verse 3 in the 

455
00:35:43,960 --> 00:36:03,000
New Testament. 
Help us Jesus, before God 

456
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,600
corrects his theology. 
What? 

457
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,040
What went wrong with his 
theology? 

458
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,720
He thought he was the only one. 
He didn't really realize God was

459
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:14,600
witty and he didn't realize God 
was for him. 

460
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,960
And God didn't correct his 
theology first. 

461
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,400
He made him aware. 
What brought you here, buddy? 

462
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,040
How did we get here? 
It's like when a kid pulls 

463
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,680
something down and make a mess. 
If they're young enough, if 

464
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,480
you're a parent that ain't just 
going to whoop, you going to 

465
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,080
teach? 
You're going to bring them back 

466
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,760
to their mess and say, well, 
how? 

467
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,680
How did Lil JoJo get here? 
How did this fall from up there 

468
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,280
to down here? 
No, no, no, no. 

469
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,400
Pay attention. 
How did it get from up there to 

470
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,400
here? 
I'm not. 

471
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,760
I'm not telling you. 
You didn't messed up. 

472
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,600
You so messy. 
You clumsy. 

473
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,880
Yeah, you clumsy. 
You won. 

474
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,360
How did they get from up here 
where they walk in with a bunch 

475
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,960
of paint on their face and you 
like, OK, I'm going to take you 

476
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,760
up to the mirror. 
Now how you look? 

477
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,040
How did you get all of that 
paint on you? 

478
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,480
Huh? 
OK, you carry. 

479
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,440
OK, the bucket was over here. 
OK, The bucket supposed to be 

480
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,960
over here. 
OK, You see that? 

481
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,680
Why they dripping? 
Paint all over the house. 

482
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,280
Now go back. 
What's over here that's supposed

483
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,160
to go on the walls? 
OK, How did the paint get on 

484
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:32,760
your face? 
And God is like, no, no, no, no,

485
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,000
we not. 
I'm not about to just bail you 

486
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:40,480
out without you tracing your 
steps because if you can't trace

487
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,560
your steps, you are going to 
misstep again. 

488
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,760
Am I talking to anybody? 
He's a good father. 

489
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,240
He wants you, He's holding you. 
He got you. 

490
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:55,000
He's not judging you. 
You can trust him, but he needs 

491
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
you to understand. 
How did you get to this 

492
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,400
depression? 
How did you get so codependent? 

493
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,680
How did you get from on fire for
me serving me to this place 

494
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,480
where you barely want to come to
church? 

495
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,720
How did you get here if you 
cannot identify if the enemy can

496
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:17,040
use it instead of blaming 
everybody? 

497
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,800
How did you? 
How is this your 4th spouse? 

498
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,520
No, no, no, no, no, no, I get 
it. 

499
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000
You got hurt. 
How are you sleeping with a new 

500
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,560
person and they not married to 
you? 

501
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,600
How did we get here? 
How is this your fifth church? 

502
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:44,800
So God will bring us in a season
where where he's going to allow 

503
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,280
whatever to happen and he has 
one question. 

504
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,880
How did we get here? 
Watch this. 

505
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,760
If you can't answer for 
yourself, Adam, where are you? 

506
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,600
Like God didn't know. 
If you can't answer for 

507
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,600
yourself, then you going to be 
in class for a while. 

508
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,440
It's not only as soon as you can
answer that question. 

509
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:12,920
It's also as soon as you can 
take ownership because God asked

510
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:13,840
him. 
Then Adam started. 

511
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,520
It was her. 
It was. 

512
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,120
It was her that that one. 
That woman you made for me. 

513
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,280
I didn't ask you. 
He got arrogant with God. 

514
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,200
I didn't ask you to give her, 
make her for me. 

515
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,680
You made her for you and gave 
her to me. 

516
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:39,000
You know why the arrogance. 
He is transitioning Elijah out 

517
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:44,280
of spectacle based ministry. 
This is so good guys. 

518
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:52,920
For those that understand he is 
moving him out of spectacle 

519
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,680
based ministry. 
He is no longer just a prophet 

520
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,440
calling down fire. 
He is a prophet participating in

521
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,240
governance. 
Watch this stillness proceeds 

522
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:08,400
structural clarity. 
Right after this, Elijah goes 

523
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:17,240
and starts anointing people. 
Ordaining people stuff really 

524
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:20,720
started popping off and it 
wasn't about fire coming down, 

525
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,200
but it was like establishing 
authority in the earth through 

526
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:29,080
men and through women. 
And watch this, we have gotten 

527
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,520
so busy looking for signs, 
miracles and wonders that we 

528
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,280
have forfeited the revelation 
and the function of the five 

529
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,760
fold ministry gift in the church
because we've been wanting fire 

530
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,400
and wind and earthquakes. 
We won't got to shake the earth.

531
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,600
You know what God gave to bring 
order? 

532
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,320
The fivefold ministry gifts. 
You want to know why the church 

533
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,280
is all over the place? 
Because we got one gift here and

534
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,400
one gift there, but we don't got
a fist here. 

535
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,000
Go and go to a fight and try to 
fight somebody with your pinky 

536
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,240
or you're pointing finger going 
some people again don't know 

537
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:06,840
what I'm talking about Go and 
try to fight, but the fivefold 

538
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,600
ministry gives it's a it's a 
punch to darkness that the 

539
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:17,840
darkness can't handle. 
So we need is in this church we 

540
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,280
activate and if. 
It's on you and it's fruit. 

541
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,360
We activate, and this is what 
Elijah does. 

542
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,800
And so I see in the season that 
God has been having us go 

543
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,240
through, yeah, there's been 
deliverance, man. 

544
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,160
We do. 
We do deliverance ministry. 

545
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,200
Ain't scared of no demons. 
Come, come on, try us. 

546
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,200
But God has authority over 
demons more than we do. 

547
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,920
So it's something when demons 
manifest and God is saying it's 

548
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,920
time, then we do it. 
We not here trying to have 

549
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,080
deliverance. 
I mean, we've had people come to

550
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,520
me and come to us and say we 
need to do deliverance more. 

551
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,720
Oh, you after spectacle, you're 
after hell. 

552
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:56,920
You not really doing the 
ministry of Jesus. 

553
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,000
Well, he was a teacher, He was a
rabbi. 

554
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,240
He gave us gifts to equip. 
And in an Apostolic house, not 

555
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:08,560
only do all 5 gifts function 
under one roof, those 5 gifts 

556
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,480
also can represent seasons in 
which God is equipping the 

557
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,880
church. 
Sometime it can be very 

558
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,840
prophetic because God is trying 
to accelerate our understanding 

559
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,160
and get us to a place because 
what good is teaching where God 

560
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:30,280
ain't? 
So get me where God is. 

561
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,240
And we need revelation and 
teaching for what God is doing 

562
00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:39,840
in this dispensation of time. 
I don't know. 

563
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,480
I don't need to know how big the
Manger was and what the weather 

564
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,520
report was when Jesus was born 
and how many camels was down the

565
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:52,280
street from Peter when. 
No, what is God doing today? 

566
00:42:58,290 --> 00:43:01,250
The issue was not location guys.
It was not about The Cave. 

567
00:43:01,250 --> 00:43:06,850
It was about orientation. 
The brothers mind was not in the

568
00:43:06,850 --> 00:43:10,410
right place. 
God. 

569
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:16,400
Was not absent from the storm. 
He just refused to be known 

570
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,280
through it. 
I think we we got to reiterate 

571
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,080
that he was not absent in the 
fire. 

572
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,040
He was not absent in the wind. 
God's everywhere. 

573
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,360
He just refused to reveal 
himself through the earthquake. 

574
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:35,040
God refused to watch this. 
God refused to reveal himself. 

575
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:40,080
When you become desperate to get
out of somewhere, more than 

576
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:45,200
desperate to know him, and you 
want God to show up to get you 

577
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,080
out of or relieve the pain. 
And God said no, no, no, no, 

578
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,640
because that, that if I get you 
out of it, you stop pursuing me.

579
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,600
So I'm going to let you feel it 
because I got your attention 

580
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,560
now, right? 
It's hurting you, but it's 

581
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:08,080
blessing God. 
Yeah, it's disappointing you, 

582
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:14,160
but it's exciting God. 
God said no, I'm not about to 

583
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:19,240
reveal myself through bailing 
you out of something I told you 

584
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:22,440
not to get. 
In in the first place, you bout 

585
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,880
to trace your steps. 
I'm going to ask you the right 

586
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,280
questions. 
I'm going to bring the right 

587
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,440
people around you, and we going 
to turn this trash into a 

588
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,200
testimony. 
Yeah, thank God for pushing 

589
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,560
pause on my life and bringing 
people around me and turning my 

590
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,600
terribleness to a testimony. 
Absolutely. 

591
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,000
Thank God he didn't bail you out
of that situation when you 

592
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,720
wanted to be bailed out. 
Now you're stronger, Now you got

593
00:44:47,720 --> 00:44:50,280
more wisdom. 
Now you can actually help 

594
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,680
somebody watch this. 
Write it down. 

595
00:44:54,920 --> 00:45:02,120
Oil is not produced in bailouts.
Oil is produced in the pressure.

596
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,920
Gonna get that baby oil instead 
of that olive oil that no, no, 

597
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,560
we can't do that. 
No, no, no, we don't do. 

598
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,960
No, no, no, no, no. 
Ain't no John ain't no Bishop 

599
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,840
Johnson and Johnson in here. 
Ain't no Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah. 

600
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,600
Maybe what I understand it's OK.
Not everybody understand what 

601
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,240
I'm talking about. 
So it's OK for those. 

602
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,240
Hey. 
And then some people know more 

603
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:29,800
about baby oil than they do 
James. 

604
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,600
I Listen, listen, listen. 
I'm not going to let a man 

605
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,000
pervert something that that 
raised me. 

606
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,600
Absolutely. 
BB did. 

607
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,720
He did not raise me. 
But baby oil was on me for a 

608
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:45,560
long time. 
Hey, anybody else? 

609
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,520
Anybody else? 
That's why some of y'all was 

610
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:48,640
disappointed. 
Amen. 

611
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,520
Because that smell used to be 
like that. 

612
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,720
That's nostalgia right there. 
Not no more. 

613
00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:00,560
See, we can't talk about baby 
oil unless you're just like, 

614
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,080
don't talk about baby. 
Yeah, stop. 

615
00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:04,480
There's no baby. 
And no Johnson and Johnson ain't

616
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,120
did nothing, Will John? 
Yeah. 

617
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,440
James and Tina Johnson ain't 
never did nothing to us. 

618
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:20,240
God realigns and he recenters. 
His. 

619
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:25,280
Perception I thank God that he 
has been getting my mind right 

620
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:30,560
on who he is and how he really 
works patterns and keys of how 

621
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,360
God works. 
And so now I'm not pressing 

622
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,960
because I actually know I'm not 
wondering what he's saying 

623
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,040
because I actually am tapped in 
with him. 

624
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,720
I walk with him but but, but not
because I'm a pastor is because 

625
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:46,840
I'm a son. 
Stillness is not stopping, guys,

626
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,760
it's trusting. 
Can we turn that heater off for 

627
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,440
a second? 
Whoever's cold, you can be cold 

628
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,040
for a minute like I've been hot 
for a minute. 

629
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,440
They man. 
Stillness is not stopping, it's 

630
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:01,960
trusting. 
Stillness is not stopping, it's 

631
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,920
trusting. 
Stillness is not stopping, it's 

632
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,960
trusting. 
Stillness is not stopping, it's 

633
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,200
trusting. 
Stillness in Scripture begins 

634
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:22,120
when self governance ends. 
Psalm 46 says let be and be 

635
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:27,240
still, let be and be still, let 
be and be still and no somebody 

636
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:31,880
say no, recognize and understand
that I am God. 

637
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,320
Watch this, I will be exalted. 
We what we understand through 

638
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,720
Scripture is is is the Lord says
what happens to those that 

639
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:43,320
humble themselves. 
Yeah, read your Bible. 

640
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,640
He exalts them the prideful. 
He. 

641
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,480
Turned from it's prideful for 
you to want to stay in control 

642
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,400
of everything. 
That's pride. 

643
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,400
Guess what? 
God ain't blessing that you go 

644
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:02,320
ahead, be in control. 
Be your own God, be your own 

645
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,280
God. 
He like go ahead. 

646
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,720
I'll be here when you wear out 
because you actually wasn't 

647
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:09,560
made. 
You were made to walk with me in

648
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,840
the garden daily. 
You were made to be yoked with 

649
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,960
me. 
You were made to be strengthened

650
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,560
by me. 
You were not made. 

651
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,640
To get it, grind. 
And and no, no you wouldn't. 

652
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:26,000
No Work hard, work hard. 
But sons and daughters have 

653
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:32,920
inherited more than afterlife. 
Life, your career, your dream 

654
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,000
should never exhaust you come 
between family. 

655
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,240
It should never. 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 

656
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,880
There is a rhythm, not balance. 
A rhythm. 

657
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,680
I've been trying to find balance
all my life and ain't found it 

658
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,080
yet. 
But I found rhythm. 

659
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,480
Hallelujah. 
Step out of traffic, it says. 

660
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,920
Step out of traffic. 
Take a. 

661
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:58,120
Long loving, look at me. 
You're high God above politics, 

662
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,320
above everything. 
Step out of traffic. 

663
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,680
Look to me above everything. 
Look to me above everything. 

664
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:09,440
Proverbs 3 says trust in me. 
Lean not to your own 

665
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:16,200
understanding in all your ways, 
acknowledge me and I will direct

666
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,040
your path. 
What? 

667
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,400
What a deal and how many people 
in here directing their own path

668
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,080
and then say God is it? 
Is it? 

669
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,680
Is it good? 
Is this cool God he like? 

670
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,400
I can't even communicate to you 
because you're hearing is in the

671
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,920
lane of rebellion and pride. 
So then I got to correct again. 

672
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,480
Let's, let's retract the steps. 
Watch this. 

673
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,040
He wouldn't be my God if I can 
guide him. 

674
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,280
If I could. 
If, if, if I could control him 

675
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,720
and manipulate him, he wouldn't 
be a God I want to serve. 

676
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:57,800
So is he God or you are? 
Yeah, be still. 

677
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,200
Somebody shout out. 
Be still. 

678
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,200
Be still is. 
Cease striving. 

679
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,680
Cease striving commanding us. 
He is commanding us to release 

680
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,760
control. 
Release our grip on governing 

681
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,640
ourselves. 
Release our grip on governing 

682
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,480
ourselves. 
Be still. 

683
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,680
It's not emotional quiet, but 
it's hands off surrender, God, I

684
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,600
trust you. 
Be still. 

685
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,880
Cease striving. 
It's release your grip and stop 

686
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:29,720
insisting on control. 
It is ending resistance to God's

687
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:32,960
rule. 
Stop resisting God's rule. 

688
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:38,640
Stop resisting God's words. 
Stop resisting God's rule. 

689
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,840
He says to no and no be still 
and no. 

690
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:49,120
No here means experiential 
recognition, not mental 

691
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,920
agreement. 
How many people are are are are 

692
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:57,840
are still in control or try to 
be and you read your Bible so it

693
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,280
ain't knowledge. 
This is experiential 

694
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,720
recognition. 
Stillness is the posture that 

695
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:08,880
allows recognition of. 
Who is actually governing? 

696
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:14,400
Be still, stand down. 
Stillness is not the absence of 

697
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,560
motion. 
It is the absence of internal 

698
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,720
contradiction. 
Am I helping like a few people? 

699
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:23,400
That's it. 
Helping a few people. 

700
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:29,520
Stillness is not the absence of 
motion, it's the absence of 

701
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,760
internal contradiction. 
James, watch this. 

702
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:37,200
Note you moving on too fast. 
James 18 says a double minded 

703
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:46,480
man is unstable in all his ways.
Watch this, you double minded 

704
00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:50,960
and in the areas you have 
control and there's results of 

705
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,040
your control underneath it, 
you're unstable. 

706
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:07,120
The opposite of stillness is not
busyness, it is divided 

707
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,920
allegiance. 
No, Jesus, Can I help somebody? 

708
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:16,160
Can I help somebody? 
The opposite of stillness, it's 

709
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,760
not busyness, it's divided 
allegiance and and and we second

710
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,760
experience. 
We're going to get deeper into 

711
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,080
this. 
But today where we're heading is

712
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,960
it could sound like Elder John 
that to be still, I need to do 

713
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,360
less. 
But in the. 

714
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,520
Bible. 
There's a lot of busy people who

715
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,640
are still. 
Oh yeah, there's some folks 

716
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:42,840
that's way busier than y'all. 
You don't got nobody trying to 

717
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:48,920
behead you, you ain't walking 
everywhere and you stressed out.

718
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,920
Hallelujah. 
God knew when to put you in the 

719
00:52:50,920 --> 00:53:06,680
earth. 
Peace rules in umpires and it 

720
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,520
decides what stays and what 
goes. 

721
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,160
Peace. 
Man, I've been ever since I've 

722
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,560
been, the more revelation I've 
been getting, the more I'm like,

723
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,920
oh, peace is like, Nah, Nah, we 
don't need that. 

724
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,280
And then I obey peace because 
peace is umpire. 

725
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,520
And guess what? 
I'm like, Nah, I can't do that 

726
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:21,520
today. 
And guess what? 

727
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:26,240
I keep somebody, you could tell 
somebody getting started. 

728
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:28,440
You, you ever, you know, 
somebody argumentative beside 

729
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,840
you, you know, somebody 
argumentative, right? 

730
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,920
You can tell or they have a bad 
day and they get argumentative 

731
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,840
and you sit there and you, you, 
you, you, you, you give into it.

732
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,560
And peace is like, don't, don't 
do it, walk away. 

733
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,440
Like don't do it. 
And you stay there. 

734
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,880
And you didn't let Peace was in 
there trying to say this ain't 

735
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,960
going to work. 
Like, I like, I can't hang out, 

736
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:53,720
I can't live in this 
environment. 

737
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,280
So once you step into that, I'm 
going to have to step back. 

738
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,800
Peace is trying to umpire. 
Don't go there. 

739
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:06,560
Ah, but I need some extra money.
OK, go get your extra money. 

740
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,360
But no peace. 
You thought after you got extra 

741
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:10,400
money you was going to have 
peace. 

742
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,120
But guess where that money went?
That extra money went right out 

743
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,640
the dough and paid somebody 
else, right? 

744
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,240
You, you use a lot of us don't 
value peace. 

745
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,280
And then unfortunately, a lot of
us don't even know the peace of 

746
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:28,040
God. 
But it's for you. 

747
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:33,640
Stillness is governance and 
unity of heart, not emotional 

748
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:38,000
calm. 
Oh Lord, you can have my heart. 

749
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,760
You are not just my savior, you 
are my Lord. 

750
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,280
It's a difference. 
Some of y'all needed a savior. 

751
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,840
But is he Lord anybody rent in 
here? 

752
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,760
A lot of us. 
You have a what landlord. 

753
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,760
He he should be your Lord, 
right? 

754
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,960
Do what you want. 
But but but I I come knock on 

755
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,080
that door. 
Be like, hey, I need to check. 

756
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,600
I need to check something out. 
Yeah, he's the landlord. 

757
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,080
If stillness were merely 
stopping, then motion would be 

758
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:26,700
disobedience. 
God ain't asking you to stop 

759
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:29,780
doing what you're doing. 
He just want to know if he can 

760
00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:34,080
be in what you're doing, not 
just be like, all right, God, 

761
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,920
come here, sit on the couch 
though, like don't don't say 

762
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,840
nothing. 
You got God is not a family on 

763
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,120
the wall, OK? 
He is not that God. 

764
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,480
God is trying to bring wisdom. 
God is trying to tell you when 

765
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,120
it's time to leave, if it's time
to leave. 

766
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,320
God is trying to help you with 
business deals. 

767
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,480
God is trying to tell you what 
business deal to take. 

768
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,680
Don't take who to partner with, 
who not to partner with because 

769
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,720
he has the full picture. 
He was in that. 

770
00:55:57,720 --> 00:55:59,840
Room. 
With that person that was 

771
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:04,480
planning to turn on you, he 
heard they conversations. 

772
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,360
Scripture is full. 
Of people who are divinely busy 

773
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:16,440
and deeply still I want I 
received that for myself 

774
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,440
divinely busy and. 
And and this. 

775
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:24,320
Is has to be the clarity today. 
God is not asking you to be 

776
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:28,440
less, be less busy is not. 
Stillness is not less busy, but 

777
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:37,080
can He govern your activity? 
Stillness is produced by the 

778
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,160
Spirit. 
This is where we're going today.

779
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,200
Stillness is produced by the 
Spirit, not by self-discipline. 

780
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,120
Because stillness can sound like
Nope, I got Nope, I'm not doing 

781
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,880
that today. 
And God's like, no, no, no, no, 

782
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,400
no, no, I need you to go. 
Do that today. 

783
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:53,920
Wait a minute, God, you told me 
to be. 

784
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,600
Still no, no, no, no, no, no, 
no, no. 

785
00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:58,520
I need you to go there, but I 
need you to let me be involved. 

786
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,320
Is is not or No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no. 

787
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,200
White God. 
Stillness is not yoga. 

788
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:11,080
Stillness is not breath work. 
Stillness is not swimming in the

789
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,400
ocean. 
Stillness is not bodily. 

790
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,680
Stillness is not Hawaii. 
Stillness is not on the 

791
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:23,600
mountaintop. 
You go up with anxiety and you 

792
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:37,480
come down with anxiety. 
For all who are allowing 

793
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,200
themselves to be led by the 
Spirit, watch this. 

794
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,840
And I want to be very clear, all
these, all these, all these 

795
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,480
exercises and, and opportunities
to, to, to calm our nervous 

796
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,480
systems. 
And all of those are gifts from 

797
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,000
God, but they're not the source.
They're supplements to the 

798
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,120
source. 
That's what you have to 

799
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,720
understand, right? 
You can watch it. 

800
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,600
Here you go. 
You can just because you take 

801
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,800
vitamins, but all you eat is 
fried food. 

802
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,800
No, no, no, no, no, no. 
Right, right. 

803
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:16,280
You, you can't, you can't. 
You can't meditate and turn the 

804
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,280
music off or turn on calm music,
but then get up and get on the 

805
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,840
phone and interact with somebody
that you know is going to stress

806
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,880
you out. 
You can't take. 

807
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:34,160
Vitamins and smoke cigarettes. 
Whoever that whoever that word 

808
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,000
was for. 
Amen. 

809
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:42,360
Today is your day to be free. 
Those that are led by the Spirit

810
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,240
are sons of God. 
Those that are led by the Spirit

811
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:51,520
are sons of God. 
Those that are led by the Spirit

812
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:58,200
are sons of God. 
Let the ghost ride the whip. 

813
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,880
Stillness is not something you 
achieve by doing less and 

814
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,480
minimizing motion. 
Stillness is something you 

815
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,040
receive through surrender to the
Spirit's leadership. 

816
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,080
Hallelujah. 
I think this is AI think this is

817
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,040
very good right here. 
This is helping me now. 

818
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,280
Now let me some of this stuff I 
have given you like like 6 

819
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:25,880
sessions of therapy that you pay
$125.00 for. 

820
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,360
Now look, I don't mind taking my
notes and setting up a wisdom 

821
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,560
session with you if you if if 
you just if you just want to sit

822
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,560
down and. 
And pay for some counseling, 

823
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,680
right? 
But again, that therapist needs 

824
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:42,200
to be supplemental and you can't
come to church and then mix your

825
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,200
therapy with a new age 
therapist. 

826
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,840
The Bible talks about mixing. 
It's in the Bible. 

827
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:58,480
You can mix Kingdom stuff with 
worldly practices. 

828
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:10,660
It's very dangerous. 
You want the Holy Spirit to 

829
01:00:10,660 --> 01:00:15,180
comfort and calm the storm, but 
he was sent to confront and 

830
01:00:15,180 --> 01:00:28,710
cause reform. 
He orients, yeah. 

831
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:34,680
The greatest calm you can have 
is from a transformed life, a 

832
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,200
renewed mind, faith that 
transcends all under peace, that

833
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,800
transcends all understanding. 
Watch this. 

834
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,320
Let the ghosts ride the whip. 
Stillness begins when you 

835
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,640
release the reins to the spirit.
Here, watch this. 

836
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,280
What do you mean? 
PT Zachariah says this. 

837
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,920
You can't force these things, 
Zerubbabel. 

838
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:05,920
I love that name. 
They only come about through my 

839
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:10,360
spirit, says the God of Angel 
armies. 

840
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:15,240
So big mountain who? 
Do you think you are? 

841
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,360
I love it so, so, so those that 
don't know, this is in the Old 

842
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,200
Testament. 
So when you go searching, it's 

843
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,640
in the Old Testament. 
You can turn that off. 

844
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:25,800
I'm aware. 
You, you, you. 

845
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,080
You can't force these. 
Things. 

846
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:36,720
Not by might nor by power, 
Amplify says. 

847
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,200
Not by might, not by power, but 
by your spirit. 

848
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,920
Here we go guys. 
God is confronting the 

849
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,200
temptation to force a God 
ordained outcome. 

850
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:54,040
Through human capacity, 
pressure, or control, the work 

851
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,480
is God commissioned, but 
progress has stalled with 

852
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,720
Zerubbabel. 
I love this because I see us all

853
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,680
in here. 
Zerubbabel is building 

854
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:08,120
something, but progress has 
stalled and God said what? 

855
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,000
I have commissioned you to 
build. 

856
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,880
I will not let it be built. 
I will not provide. 

857
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:18,280
I will not press play. 
I will not sign off on moving 

858
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,800
forward until you understand 
it's not by might. 

859
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,360
It's not by power, but it's by 
your spirit. 

860
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:29,920
There are some people that God 
will allow to not bless you and 

861
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,320
they got the check to write 
because He knows that when they 

862
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,280
write the check they going to 
take credit for it being built. 

863
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,920
So I've had to learn how to say 
God, I know it's here, I know 

864
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,360
it's there, but God says no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, not by 

865
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,600
might nor by power, but by his 
Spirit. 

866
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,440
I am raising a son. 
I am raising a people that can 

867
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,600
trust me more than they could 
trust man. 

868
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,520
Because the same person that 
wrote the check can be all over 

869
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,840
the place, persecute you, walk 
away from you and try to take 

870
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,240
credit. 
God says this is the remnant 

871
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,640
that will know God and the 
people that will not take credit

872
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:19,920
and the people will worship God.
God has ordained people to give 

873
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,680
with no strings attached. 
Oh, I know some generous people 

874
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,080
who give relentlessly and I 
don't even got to worry at one 

875
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:33,320
minute without them walking away
wanting something in exchange 

876
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,000
because they totally give 
because watch this, They know 

877
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,920
their mission. 
What's the partner with the 

878
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,640
vision of God? 
And then there's some people 

879
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,040
that will give big or, or, or 
every now and then, but when 

880
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,520
they walk away, they like that 
should equal more time. 

881
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,640
That should equal, Oh, you 
didn't you? 

882
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:55,400
You didn't know that giving is a
ministry, right? 

883
01:04:03,750 --> 01:04:07,310
This is God. 
And I had to learn this very 

884
01:04:07,310 --> 01:04:09,920
quickly. 
And you got to learn it very 

885
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,880
quickly. 
Just because you are friends 

886
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,800
with somebody that got it don't 
mean God has permitted them to 

887
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,680
give it. 
Just because you work with 

888
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:23,080
people that got it, don't meet. 
So don't go around being mad at 

889
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,720
people because if God, if God 
allowed. 

890
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,240
Them to give, you got to deal 
with some strings. 

891
01:04:34,540 --> 01:04:37,100
So you see it in the Bible 
sometimes people, they want 

892
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:40,740
information before they give. 
And I get it. 

893
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:49,960
Sometimes God is developing you 
to trust Him in your sewing 

894
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:56,200
because He's trying to train 
you. 

895
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,160
It's crazy. 
We'll go to Starbucks and give 

896
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,080
Starbucks all our money. 
You don't know what they doing 

897
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,440
with it, but but they're 
supporting a whole lot of stuff 

898
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:13,640
that's anti Jesus that your 
triple latte with goose milk and

899
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:21,280
and and and and this stuff be 
just coming out my mouth, man. 

900
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:22,880
I'm just like whatever goose 
milk. 

901
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:34,630
I don't even goose has got milk.
Geese has got milk a couple more

902
01:05:34,630 --> 01:05:36,110
slides. 
So we get out here because I'm 

903
01:05:36,110 --> 01:05:37,510
gonna say something crazy. 
I'm I feel. 

904
01:05:37,510 --> 01:05:42,000
Good right now. 
He is telling, he is telling 

905
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,800
Zerubbel, stop trying to 
generate what only my, my spirit

906
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,280
can accomplish. 
So the temptation is not 

907
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:57,840
rebellion here, The temptation 
is self-reliance in a holy 

908
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:02,880
assignment. 
What he's telling him and he's 

909
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,520
telling us today, guys, you 
cannot force these things. 

910
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,800
Even when the motives are pure 
and the assignment is correct 

911
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,800
and it's morally sound, you 
can't just look at, am I doing 

912
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,080
the right thing? 
Am I doing a good thing? 

913
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,360
Yes, cool, do it. 
But is it? 

914
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:26,480
You got to understand what God 
has to do with it. 

915
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:32,600
This Hebrew here, right here 
really means you cannot force 

916
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,360
momentum. 
You cannot force completion, you

917
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:40,800
cannot force favor, you cannot 
force breakthrough, you cannot 

918
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:42,680
force spiritual authority. 
Let me help some of y'all. 

919
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,840
When you start trying to force 
God things, it's witchcraft 

920
01:06:52,180 --> 01:06:54,660
because you find yourself in 
manipulation. 

921
01:06:54,660 --> 01:07:01,900
It is witchcraft. 
So this word might means 

922
01:07:01,900 --> 01:07:06,700
accumulated human strength, not 
by mind, it means resources and 

923
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:09,540
numbers. 
Some of y'all in here you need 

924
01:07:09,540 --> 01:07:15,760
to stop. 
Do not let this world consume 

925
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:20,680
you. 
I'll tell somebody in here right

926
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,480
now. 
God's plan for what he blessed 

927
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,920
you with is way bigger than your
efforts can produce. 

928
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,840
There's more than your business.
There's your more than your 

929
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,560
career. 
There are people to love. 

930
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,160
There are people that need your 
attention. 

931
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,000
There are other things that need
your hands and your wisdom. 

932
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,200
There's other places that need 
your presence. 

933
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:46,080
Then this word power means 
personal capacity, leadership 

934
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,200
ability, charisma, strategy, all
these good things. 

935
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,280
And God said, Nope, what I'm 
planning for you won't be done 

936
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,640
through that. 
Not by might nor by power, but 

937
01:07:55,640 --> 01:08:01,040
by His Spirit Stillness is 
spirit dependence. 

938
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:06,960
Stillness is spirit dependence. 
I got time for 2-3 more slides 

939
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,080
for you and we'll pick up in 
second experience. 

940
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,200
The mountain moves. 
He's talking to this mountain. 

941
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,240
The mountain moves when the 
spirit is given room to work. 

942
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,479
He said, oh, you great mountain 
be moved human obstacles. 

943
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:26,200
It is removed because he aligned
himself with the Spirit. 

944
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,760
God was not telling Zerubbabel 
stop building. 

945
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,880
Please hear me. 
God was not telling Zerubbabel 

946
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:37,040
stop building because this 
building wasn't open. 

947
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,319
It's not a sign we stopped 
building. 

948
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:43,279
We've been building. 
God was not telling Zerubbabel 

949
01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:45,600
to stop building. 
He was telling him to stop 

950
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:50,160
forcing it stop. 
Fortunate I found myself in this

951
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,399
four years, EJ some of y'all 
know man, I'd be out of town 

952
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:56,479
with my family doing certain 
things and I'll be like, wait a 

953
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,520
minute, I'm supposed to be be at
down at the city trying to hurry

954
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,160
them up. 
And I'm like, you can rush 

955
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,399
people, but you can't rush God's
provision. 

956
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:14,439
So now you rush people and now 
they give you an invoice and you

957
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,120
like, hey, God, come on 
breakthrough. 

958
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,880
He's like, no, look, my 
provision, I was working on the 

959
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,240
people, I was working on the 
invoice. 

960
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,720
I had the invoice in mind. 
That's why I allowed delay. 

961
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:28,319
That's why I press pause because
my provision wasn't coming when 

962
01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:32,000
you demanded the invoice. 
And when you demand people, you 

963
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:36,560
demand the invoice. 
So he said stop forcing it. 

964
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,359
Yes, Sir. 
Four years. 

965
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:42,800
Why alignment. 
And this past week was all about

966
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,920
some final alignment. 
You can be obedient. 

967
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:51,200
You can be obedient, Danny. 
You can be obedient and still be

968
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:55,360
controlling. 
Lord, I am doing what you told 

969
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,240
me to do, but I'll. 
Still got my hand on the 

970
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,440
steering wheel. 
You can be obedient but still 

971
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:04,960
controlling. 
I put Adam to sleep, boy, go to 

972
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,160
sleep. 
You ain't about to tell me. 

973
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,880
Put this on her right here, man.
Put that over there. 

974
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,120
Adam would have messed the whole
female body up. 

975
01:10:17,370 --> 01:10:19,890
You. 
You cannot close with this. 

976
01:10:20,170 --> 01:10:23,370
You cannot produce stillness 
while governing yourself. 

977
01:10:26,370 --> 01:10:29,930
The Spirit does three things. 
The Spirit does three things in 

978
01:10:29,930 --> 01:10:33,850
the body consistently. 3 things 
in the scripture. 

979
01:10:34,490 --> 01:10:41,440
He leads, He makes, He reminds, 
He leads, he makes, He reminds, 

980
01:10:41,440 --> 01:10:44,720
he leads, he makes, and he 
reminds. 

981
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:49,920
He, he leads, He makes, He 
makes, He reminds, he leads, he 

982
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:53,120
makes, He reminds. 
Stillness is where the Spirit 

983
01:10:53,440 --> 01:11:01,200
fixes our focus. 
Pick up here Luke 10. 

984
01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:06,840
Next experience with two ladies,
one by the name of Mary and the 

985
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,240
other one by the name of Martha.
We going to have fun looking at 

986
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,760
Mary and Martha. 
We going to have fun looking at 

987
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:21,560
Mary and Martha because the busy
one thought the other one was 

988
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,440
being lazy. 
She was being still. 

989
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,400
We going to look at Mary and we 
going to look at Martha. 

990
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:37,800
I love alignment, but the 
excited guy in me like, like, 

991
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,600
like when we have moments in 
church where it's like, but then

992
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,120
you just like you get a bunch of
ignorant people shouting. 

993
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,840
And I grew up around that. 
But we knew how to have a good 

994
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,560
time in church Oregon. 
And then we walk out of there 

995
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,320
and live in defeat Monday 
through Saturday, sleeping 

996
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,760
around and choir, sleeping with 
each other, the pastors. 

997
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:03,880
And so there, there, there got 
to be not balance. 

998
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:09,000
It's got to be rhythm. 
And so we we we love quest, 

999
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,560
going to celebrate often, but 
there's moments where we got to 

1000
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,840
get a line. 
So now we celebrating in faith. 

1001
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,160
We celebrating with revelation. 
Not not sitting here ignorant 

1002
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,120
like this feel good. 
I don't know why we doing it, 

1003
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,040
but this feel good. 
Something got a hold of me. 

1004
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,160
Is this what we do at church? 
No, it's not what we do at 

1005
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:31,680
church. 
It's a season, man, because I'm 

1006
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:38,000
telling you, and you can mark my
word, mark my word in the next 

1007
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,760
two years. 
Come here late if you want to. 

1008
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:44,880
You going to be in that overflow
room If we got 1, I don't even 

1009
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:45,800
know if there's room for 
overflow. 

1010
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,600
We'll find overflow. 
It might be over here. 

1011
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,880
I don't know. 
Drive home. 

1012
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:50,920
I don't know what you're going 
to do. 

1013
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:57,120
But I will tell you what God's 
about to do on this corner, in 

1014
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:58,680
this community, through this 
church. 

1015
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,440
Here's here's what I know guys, 
here's what I know. 

1016
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,520
Just practically and 
logistically speaking, we are 

1017
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:22,080
not equipped or prepared for 
major harvest in this space. 

1018
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:29,480
God is so good to not overwhelm 
us. 

1019
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:40,200
We don't have the facilities to 
do church or host, right? 

1020
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:47,320
Host in a way that will reflect 
the fullness of God's heart. 

1021
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,000
Because in this culture, the 
presence of God is not enough 

1022
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:57,960
for people to come to church. 
So the presence of God won't 

1023
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:05,040
hold a lot of people. 
People will go somewhere where 

1024
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,440
aesthetically it's nice and 
pleasing and and so for y'all 

1025
01:14:10,440 --> 01:14:16,600
that keep showing up, that says 
a lot about who you are, but 

1026
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,680
more about what God has put in 
you. 

1027
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:25,240
You see something that the 
average believer does not see 

1028
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:29,400
and there's a reward for your 
pioneering eyes. 

1029
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,720
You don't realize that you have 
come in a season. 

1030
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,200
You may not serve, but you 
coming in those seats have been 

1031
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:44,720
extreme encouragement that God 
is moving, that God is doing 

1032
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,680
something. 
You, you may come and you may 

1033
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:53,240
go, but your consistency is is 
is is is a is a it's an offering

1034
01:14:53,440 --> 01:14:59,840
to those that labor that man, 
we, we come here and labor for 

1035
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,360
something. 
And there's people that keep 

1036
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:07,200
coming in the team as we're 
doing finances. 

1037
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,000
They're always just blessed 
about the people that just keep 

1038
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,400
giving. 
There's people that continuously

1039
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:20,760
give. $3 two dollars, $5.00 but 
continuously the the miracle of 

1040
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,920
people trusting God. 
And then there's people who 

1041
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:27,640
give. 
There's people who give that if 

1042
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,200
they didn't give, we we'd be in 
that tent, not in here, just in 

1043
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:37,040
the tent only during the 
daytime, no lights needed. 

1044
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:45,840
But there's people who give for 
those that don't give, rather 

1045
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,840
you don't give because you don't
have a revelation. 

1046
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:49,960
Rather, you don't give because 
you stingy. 

1047
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,920
Rather, you don't give because 
you're you're. 

1048
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,600
Fearful. 
Rather you don't give because 

1049
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,320
you don't trust God. 
Rather, you don't give because 

1050
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,320
you don't trust our church. 
That's fine. 

1051
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:11,200
But I will tell you that this, 
this corner, this community, 

1052
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:17,840
this block is going to see 
something that at least this 

1053
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:22,200
city has never seen before. 
I'm not saying, and this is not 

1054
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,800
all about numbers, it's about 
presence. 

1055
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:31,680
It's about what God's about to 
do and whoever shows up, there's

1056
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,000
a maturity growing in this 
church. 

1057
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,800
There is a richness growing in 
this church. 

1058
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,360
It hasn't just been four years, 
but it's been 7-8 years of going

1059
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,560
down and we got eight years 
down. 

1060
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:51,080
Faithfulness and resilience and 
people don't know the cost. 

1061
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:55,960
And I'm telling you, I wish I 
could we not there. 

1062
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:57,600
You just got to see it when we 
get there. 

1063
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,480
I don't even know. 
I just, it's in here and, and 

1064
01:17:01,480 --> 01:17:03,560
I've and that's all I've held on
to. 

1065
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:07,560
And it's not just faith. 
It's like, it's such a reality. 

1066
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,120
So if God's calling you to serve
every now and then, if God's 

1067
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,640
just calling you to be here and 
get fed, whatever it may be like

1068
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:20,040
get rooted and, and, and be a 
part of the family and grow 

1069
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:26,040
because Vancouver needs serious 
believers who know God, not just

1070
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,240
read about them, but know God 
And so be encouraged. 

1071
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:34,320
Love quest that your labor is 
not in vain and God is up to 

1072
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,840
something that is exceedingly 
abundantly above all that we can

1073
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:42,080
ask, think or imagine. 
Come on, give God some praise. 

1074
01:17:44,480 --> 01:17:45,920
Come on. 
You can do better than that, 

1075
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:50,320
especially if you are Sower. 
Especially if you are Sower. 

1076
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:52,640
Lord, we praise you. 
Come on. 

1077
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:54,640
Lift your voices right where you
are. 

1078
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:58,000
Lord, we praise you. 
Lord, we honor you. 

1079
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:02,600
Lord, we adore you. 
Lord, we give you praise. 

1080
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,680
Come on. 
Come on, worshippers. 

1081
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,240
Come on, intercessors. 
Lift your voice. 

1082
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:12,040
Lift your voice. 
Lift your voice. 

1083
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,680
Lord, we thank you. 
This is your house. 

1084
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:25,280
We are your people. 
God, you're awesome.
