Let's get into it. 9 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,840 Give. God, some praise one time. 10 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,720 You can be seated in the presence. 11 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:25,290 Of the Lord. OK OK dot dot dot dot well if 12 00:01:25,290 --> 00:01:27,290 you haven't. Already you should go download 13 00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:29,450 the new single. Maybe you should go do that. 14 00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:42,560 That's called My God is able. And yeah, real good. 15 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,120 Music. I would bet that it's for sure 16 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:50,320 better than for sure. 75% of the people that's in your playlist, 17 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,240 even you rockers or whatever genre it is, it doesn't matter. 18 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,560 It's just you. This could be at the top of your 19 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,320 playlist now. Now just a little secret. 20 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,080 Why did I do my God is able? And then dot dot, dot dot 21 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,040 because it's 5 dots. Dot dot dot dot dot stands for 22 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,880 grace and #2 God seems to connect all the dots in your 23 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,240 life. And so he's able so. 24 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 When I look at my life. He's connected the dots. 25 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,800 And so it's just. Dot dot dot dot dot dot and 26 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,400 it's. Catchy, it's fun, and who cares 27 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,600 what you think? Amen, right? 28 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,280 It really doesn't matter. So. 29 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,760 But if you need an explanation, I just gave you one. 30 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,800 But what I do know is this has nothing to do with the message 31 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,520 today. But Canada, you are primed for 32 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:50,960 something big but are afraid of it, so it's. 33 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,480 Kind of like let's. Go to the states because they do 34 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,600 it big already. So let me just join big instead 35 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:05,240 of pioneering it in a country that is waiting for courageous 36 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,040 leadership, courageous leadership and courageous vision 37 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:20,760 and courageous unity. And Canada, you have everything 38 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:27,400 you need to impact and change culture across the world. 39 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:37,720 But if we can get rid of the passivity, the insecurities, I 40 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,480 just feel like this country is preserved for God. 41 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,120 So it's almost like God is not allowing anything to gain 42 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,160 monumental momentum unless it's started by his church. 43 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,200 Like a people that don't need the world to pop. 44 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,720 I just feel like it's not just. Open for anybody. 45 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:18,680 I feel like it's the culture is is open for the church now in 46 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,160 the states you see it it's happening specifically in pop 47 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,120 culture in the church. God's paving some very cool 48 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,440 unique ways. I just feel like, you know, for 49 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,480 example, Lecrae came here a few years ago with Andy Mineo Grammy 50 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,560 Award winners and the church was not a part of it. 51 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,160 Not because of them. It's because the church is just 52 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,520 like, so they get some club promoters and then barely sell 53 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,280 it out because the church can't even pack out a club for a 54 00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:03,840 Christian artist. But heck of Christians went and 55 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,000 saw what's that girl name Taylor Swift? 56 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,920 See. You know what I'm saying? 57 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:18,640 See, Taylor Swift sold out change the whole shape of 58 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:25,120 economy the city streets blocked off have you ever asked yourself 59 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,480 why a lot of. Christian artists or a specific 60 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,920 type of Christian artist only comes to Vancouver. 61 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,960 When, when the when, when this Vancouver looks like the globe, 62 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,200 but the globe is not represented in the sound, then you're in a 63 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,240 church who's trying to get the globe presented in the sound in 64 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,040 the creatives. Do you support it? 65 00:05:56,750 --> 00:05:59,870 Do you really think you here just to be a bystander to 66 00:05:59,870 --> 00:06:03,070 culture or to actually do something about it? 67 00:06:03,070 --> 00:06:05,390 Maybe you're not on this stage, but what's on this stage? 68 00:06:05,390 --> 00:06:08,440 You can partake, you can empower, you can buy, you can 69 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,600 stream, you can download, you can sell, you can partake. 70 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,480 I promise you, the people that are having 500 million streams, 71 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,960 it's not all evil people or worldly people streaming. 72 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,360 A lot of the church is helping the world blow up. 73 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,560 You're in here. We are helping the enemy and the 74 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,840 enemy ain't helping us at all. But we like man. 75 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,960 It just feels good though. It's just like whoa, it's just 76 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,640 what everybody else is doing and I can relate to what they doing. 77 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,240 We help darkness. Darkness never helps light. 78 00:06:55,410 --> 00:06:58,450 So the excuse can't be man. I don't listen to Christian and 79 00:06:58,450 --> 00:07:03,840 hip hop because it's cheesy true, some of it not mine, not 80 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,200 scribe music, not not no it's you don't got no more excuse. 81 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:13,120 The Christian market has is crushing it in every. 82 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Genre. Production is no long is no 83 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,720 longer cheesy. The production, the engineering 84 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,560 top, top notch. Forget me. 85 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,680 I'm talking like like instrumentals, prayer. 86 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,880 Music. Pop Rock. 87 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:39,280 Hip hop worship, like pick any genre, there's no reason why we 88 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,920 should be stuck at a few thousand or and then we helping 89 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,440 all these people get rich. God has given us that we look, 90 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,680 if you support the art that's coming out the church, we 91 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,200 wouldn't even really have to have a remnant campaign. 92 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,880 Here's what the Bible says. Well, I'm in debt, he says. 93 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,680 Well, what do you have in your house? 94 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800 I mean, I don't know what you stream, but you could take some 95 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,760 of these songs and maybe just listen to it maybe 10 times or 96 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,320 at work you can listen to it or at your party. 97 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,360 Listen, you know what I'm saying. 98 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,480 Why does that matter? Because we're created the impact 99 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,560 culture. And I heard something at the 100 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360 sight of my ear when Elder John, he said for God, so love the 101 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,600 world. I didn't say for God, so love 102 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,360 the church. Do you love the world how God 103 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,280 loves the world? Or do you love the world how you 104 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,240 need the world? Oh. 105 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,000 For God so love the world he sacrificed. 106 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,080 If you really love the world, what you willing to give up for 107 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,240 it? Put my glasses on. 108 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:06,120 Put my stunning shades on. Knowing what's happening because 109 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,040 of God's hand versus the devil's hand is crucial to your prayer 110 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,960 life. I'm here to tell 100% of you, 111 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,720 You give the devil too much credit. 112 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,160 He's not the issue. He's not really the one messing 113 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,760 with your life. The devil's not why you're 114 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,520 divorced. The devil's not why you're on 115 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,360 alcohol. The devil's not why you smoke 116 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,800 weed. The devil's not why you're a 117 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,520 freak. The devil's not why you say 118 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,520 addicted to to sex. Did he say freak? 119 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,800 Yes, I did. The devil ain't the reason, 120 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,640 right? You like sex, You like porn, You 121 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,600 like marijuana, You like out. That ain't the devil. 122 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,040 The Devil. Cannot mess with an obedient 123 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,480 child of God. No, you doubt the word devil 124 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,160 cannot mess. Mess with a convinced believer. 125 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,080 As I said earlier, and I'm going to breeze through early. 126 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480 I'm asking please go listen to the beginning because I got to 127 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,480 finish this today. OK? 128 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,320 When you actually obey God, like you really walk with the Lord, 129 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,160 you're not even concerned with the devil. 130 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,320 Like why are we so concerned with the devil? 131 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,440 It's always the devil, it's never us. 132 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,400 And then and then y'all giving credit to God for stuff he 133 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,480 didn't even do. You know that blessing you said 134 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,160 that God gave you? No, you just went to work and 135 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280 you got paid and you saved up enough money. 136 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,880 You know the money you didn't give for the remnant so you can 137 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,600 get that thing. That was your hard work. 138 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,120 It wasn't God, you know that. We, we blame God for people 139 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:52,560 dying. You don't want to hear that, 140 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:56,400 huh? Oh, God needed him, so he took 141 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,160 them. No, God don't take nobody. 142 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,080 He gives life. That's all he does is give. 143 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,760 He didn't take them. He received them. 144 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,880 He didn't take them within our inability to understand his 145 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,280 sovereignty. We got to make make, we got we, 146 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,360 we got to do this perverted thing and we got to say God is a 147 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,680 well, if God is so much God, then why does he let this 148 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:21,160 happen? Well, if you love God so much, 149 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,800 why do you let that happen? You see. 150 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,280 So our prayer life, our perception of who God is, our 151 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,200 perception of what a blessing is, our perception of what 152 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:40,440 church is, what we see is all from trauma, It's all from 153 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,400 flesh. And if we don't correct it, it 154 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,080 bleeds into our prayer life. And then we don't thank God hear 155 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,720 us. So we don't pray right. 156 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,920 We we got all these. Things in the lens. 157 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,760 That you see through your perspective. 158 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640 That's why he says that transformation comes from a 159 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,560 renewed mind, not just a person that reads right. 160 00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:04,680 When is your devotion? I asked this question that 161 00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:08,400 prayer the other day. When is what is the problem 162 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,080 between prayer and power? How do you get from a prayer 163 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:21,400 life to a life of power? Prayer is for power. 164 00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:29,440 God gave us prayer to see answers, not to question if He's 165 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:35,600 there. So where's this big gap between 166 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,240 prayer life and a power life? Just assume everybody got a 167 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,560 prayer life. Why aren't you walking in power? 168 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,360 That you ready to walk in power is for 100% of you. 169 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,520 Now you ready. Walking in power is in Roche. 170 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,960 Get a Baba blind eyes open. No walking in power is when you 171 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,600 want to cuss somebody out and you actually don't. 172 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:05,360 OK, OK, here it is. And then it moves from don't to 173 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,440 not even being tempted to customize, right? 174 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,920 There's there's levels to God's power. 175 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,480 When is it going to be you? You got to fight temptation to 176 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,640 where now you ain't tempted by it no more. 177 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,680 See a life of power is not about about about cancer being healed. 178 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,080 Like you get to a place where you trying to believe God to 179 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,840 take away cancer but you couldn't believe him to even 180 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:40,040 reconcile in a relationship.

He was just going to obey man 363 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,840 God to ask you to come to a night service and you want to 364 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,720 question why some of us don't even get in a. 365 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,400 Conversation with God. We just tell them no. 366 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:21,440 The audacity. So Can you imagine? 367 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,480 And then the Scripture goes on and says that Noah entered the 368 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,440 boat with his family, the animals. 369 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,800 And then it says God shut the door. 370 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,840 He shut him in and he closed the door round about him. 371 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,880 I want you to see something. Noah did not close the door, and 372 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,200 because Noah didn't close the door, it does not mean he didn't 373 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,880 finish the job. You ready? 374 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,480 Noah did not need closure. Some of you can't start healing 375 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,520 because you're waiting foreclosure. 376 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,200 You're trying to end the chapter. 377 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,560 And there's some chapters that don't need ending. 378 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,480 God shut the door. Say God shut the door. 379 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,200 Am I the only one in here that that, that, that God has done 380 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,640 something? You OK? 381 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,960 You may not have think saw it as God. 382 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,000 Have you ever been in a place in your life where something ended 383 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,200 abruptly? Have you ever been in a place in 384 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,400 your life where it ended abruptly? 385 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,320 And you was like, what the heck? Where'd that come from? 386 00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:34,880 Have you ever been? And I ain't see that coming. 387 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,440 Here, you. You ready? 388 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,320 Have you ever saw it coming but you was denying it was coming? 389 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,880 Have you ever tried to turn a red flag green? 390 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,840 Right. Stop changing the color of the 391 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,840 flag. It's red, right? 392 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,040 Yep. No, no, no. 393 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,440 She crazy. But no, no, didn't like like I 394 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,800 know like she would meet, she would a different, but she you 395 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,080 know what I'm saying? We make excuse. 396 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,880 You ready? You can't change nobody. 397 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:03,840 Hey, hey, you ready here to hear this? 398 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,400 You can't change nobody. That's that won't let God change 399 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,240 them. The only way I can contribute to 400 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,480 someone's change is if they're going to allow God to change 401 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,840 them. Because all I can bring them is 402 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,000 God. You. 403 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,880 And you not going to make me your God. 404 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,720 I've learned that lesson. I'm not going to see you disobey 405 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,200 God, but you obey me. I'm not getting in God's way. 406 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,160 Come on, tell somebody. Throw them over. 407 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:44,140 Throw them over. Look, here it is now. 408 00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:46,060 This boat was really. Big and it's he told no. 409 00:28:46,180 --> 00:28:49,180 He said you go, you're going to make a window up top. 410 00:28:50,620 --> 00:28:54,100 Now it was three stories. No, it wasn't three stories 411 00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:56,620 tall. OK, So what you got to 412 00:28:56,620 --> 00:29:02,320 understand is when God closes a door or a season, he makes it so 413 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:07,120 that the only person you can see or you need to focus on is him. 414 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,440 He said you shall make a window. See, This is why you don't want 415 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,120 God, like because it's expensive to disobey God. 416 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:22,960 It's his pride. Say, have anybody ever got the 417 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,520 receipt for disobedience? You. 418 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,160 You. You ever. 419 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,320 Got the receipt. I got the receipt, man. 420 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,680 I got the receipt. You get the receipt. 421 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,080 You ever get the receipt? You ever get the receipt? 422 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometime, sometime the receipt 423 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,760 is kids, Sometime the receipt is is STD's. 424 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,560 Sometime the receipt is is college tuition, Sometime the 425 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:53,440 receipt is is drug addiction. Like somebody say it costs and 426 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:59,280 you think following Jesus costs try. 427 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,760 Following. Not even the devil. 428 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:07,400 Try following yourself, he said. Put the window up top. 429 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,880 I'm only putting a window in there so you can get some 430 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:16,840 sunlight and some ventilation. Stop acting like you dying 431 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,000 because. Something is over. 432 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,880 Perspective. Perspective. 433 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,560 Come on, It's another job out there. 434 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,360 Amen, Amen. There's another city out there, 435 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,800 Amen. There's another man out there, 436 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,400 Amen. There's another woman out there, 437 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:42,050 Amen. And then he said we going to 438 00:30:42,050 --> 00:30:45,130 make one door. Somebody say you are coming out 439 00:30:45,130 --> 00:30:53,780 of this. I love it because when God shuts 440 00:30:53,780 --> 00:30:56,620 the door, Annabeth, he it's only one door. 441 00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:59,620 Ain't no front door and no back door, no side though, because 442 00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:02,100 you didn't know how to choose the right door. 443 00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:05,220 You you don't do you ready? You don't do well with options. 444 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,960 Somebody, somebody say options. Yeah, yeah. 445 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,400 You don't do well with options. So you you hit a season where 446 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,840 God chose for you and and you ready. 447 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:29,320 God will always choose him. Here's God intent. 448 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,200 I'm here to establish you and your family. 449 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,680 Is it really that bad? God's trying to make sure you 450 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,920 ready. Here's the crazy part. 451 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,360 God is trying to make sure of what happened to you. 452 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,840 God is trying to make sure of what you grew up in. 453 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,480 God is trying to make sure your experience is not replicated in 454 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:54,140 the future generation. So, so don't get offended when 455 00:31:54,140 --> 00:31:56,060 God shut the door. Somebody say shut the door. 456 00:31:56,900 --> 00:32:01,640 Somebody say shut the door. Every act of God is a rebuilding 457 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,280 and a revealing of his image and likeness in you. 458 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,920 God is trying to get you back to the garden. 459 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,280 God. God's trying to get you back in 460 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,560 the garden. That's what God's trying to do. 461 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,560 If he was here Wednesday, you would understand that no born 462 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,240 again being is still at the cross. 463 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,720 Every born again being is resurrected. 464 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,360 I'm a resurrected. Being that means I live from 465 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,840 victory, I pray from victory, I talk from victory. 466 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,560 I walk from victory. Somebody say victory. 467 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,920 Matthew 7. We read this in the previous 468 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,800 experience, but just the breeze through it. 469 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,800 These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your 470 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,800 life. You do not just come to church 471 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,520 to get the Bible to say oh that's a nice cute verse or you 472 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,280 use a scripture for a post.

Have you ever asked why you in a 477 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,120 season where God won't share you? 478 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,680 This is all Bible. Too. 479 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,440 He doesn't work in you, but he could share you to the world. 480 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,320 So the only people you stuck really witnessing to is that 481 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,320 stubborn family of yours who too familiar with you to even learn 482 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:56,810 from you posting scripture.

He said these words that I speak 514 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,160 are not incidental additions. Here it is, he says. 515 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,320 They're foundational, they're foundation. 516 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,560 Can I help you? Why does God interrupt? 517 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,040 Why did he? Why did he interrupt the world? 518 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,120 And destroy it because he had to redo the foundation. 519 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,320 So don't take it personal, take it as a blessing. 520 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,920 God is saying I have inspected something in your foundation and 521 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,680 I just need you to pause for a minute so we can redo a 522 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,440 foundation so we can build something that can never be 523 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:59,040 taken down. And some of y'all are too 524 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:09,200 comfortable always rebuilding. Rebuilding is not glory to glory 525 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,480 is glory.

These words I give you are words 530 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,640 to build a life on. People were building their lives 531 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,440 before YouTube. They were building their lives 532 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:51,920 before inspirational seminars. They were building their lives 533 00:36:52,040 --> 00:37:01,800 before the Bible was printed. They walked with God, he said. 534 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,640 If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart 535 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,680 Carpenter who built his or her house on a what? 536 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,240 Solid rock.

He replied someday I will. 738 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,520 That wasn't Jesus reply it was a man. 739 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,960 He said come be my disciple. The man like somebody, some 740 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:03,120 people in here. He says someday I will Lord, but 741 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:08,480 allow me first to fulfill my duty as a good son and wait 742 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:15,040 until my father passes away.

Can you imagine this? 796 00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:17,000 This is a young girl on her deathbed who were professional 797 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,400 hired mourners. You know some of y'all 798 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,080 professional grievers. You'll find anything to grieve 799 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,960 about some of y'all. Hey, my, my, my homie from from 800 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,920 elementary school who I haven't seen in 30 years. 801 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,760 He died. Man could I take off work. 802 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,160 Some of y'all got relationship with people that people don't 803 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,520 know they're in. Relationship with you. 804 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,040 You ain't seen them in 10 years. What kind of relationship you 805 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,080 got? Now all of a sudden you're going 806 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,080 to the funeral. See Jesus? 807 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,320 No, look, look, he said. Who? 808 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:57,880 The mourners? Look, look, look. 809 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:03,840 And and the grieving crowd making an uproar she's dead. 810 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,960 Here it is. He said go away. 811 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,600 Jesus came into the crowd. They're grieving aunties are 812 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,800 grieving their niece and father is grieving his daughter and 813 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,080 grandparents are grieving their grandchild. 814 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:26,400 And Jesus said get out. Then they laughed at him because 815 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:31,000 Jesus is like she not dead and some of y'all rather sit there 816 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,560 and cry. Then to follow someone who going 817 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,960 to lead you in faith so you get offended when somebody not 818 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,320 patting you on the back instead of realizing God sent somebody 819 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,680 to get you out of the pit. Show you what? 820 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,240 A faith life. Look like so you can walk in 821 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:53,200 victory. And they laughed and jeered at 822 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,080 him. But when the crowd had been sent 823 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,480 outside, Jesus went in and took her by the hand and the girl got 824 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,640 up. See, if God does not kick doubt 825 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:07,720 out, then faith can't come in and things can't be resurrected. 826 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,360 So sometimes God is getting you out of some of these 827 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,160 relationships. Those people that need you. 828 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,960 Some of you are in relationships because they really made you 829 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,040 feel like you're doing a good job in their life, but you've 830 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,200 been telling them the same thing for five years. 831 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:32,960 But somehow you serving them makes you feel worth something, 832 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,080 so you can't stop letting them drain you. 833 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,880 But you tell somebody else about how much they drain in you. 834 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:45,120 That cousin. Look, family don't mean you got 835 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:52,920 to get your peace away. No family ain't you. 836 00:57:52,920 --> 00:58:00,200 My son or wife or husband ain't a license to steal my piece. 837 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,960 No, that ain't the devil. That's and that ain't your 838 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,320 husband. That's you. 839 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,560 They've been getting on your nerves the same way for five 840 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,680 years. Who fault is that? 841 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,480 That's you. Ain't the devil, ain't God, 842 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:25,000 That's you. And maybe your transformed 843 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,800 response will bring transformation in their lives 844 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:35,080 because familiar spirits the way you respond and is keeping them 845 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,680 right there. But if you maybe stop caring 846 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,040 about they little funky attitudes sometime they only got 847 00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:45,160 to face God instead of trying to defend themselves from your 848 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,600 response. So y'all just trigger each 849 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:53,960 other? God's like get all the doubt out 850 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,280 and let me do what I came to do. I don't care how much y'all 851 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,800 crying, some of y'all let tears control you. 852 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,640 All it takes is some tears to manipulate you back into a 853 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:14,520 situation. Somebody say rude or was it? 854 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,400 Look, a Gentile woman who lived there came to him pleading. 855 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,520 A Gentile woman came. What pleading? 856 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,640 Come on, say what pleading. Have mercy on me, O Lord son of 857 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,680 David, for my daughter.

My daughter's possessed right. 867 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,640 You would think that Jesus, that you, you think you know. 868 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,640 He's like, oh daughter. Where is she? 869 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,560 What's this? But Jesus gave her no reply. 870 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,520 Oh, I haven't heard from the Lord. 871 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:15,480 Oh, God didn't move fast enough. Look at this. 872 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,640 Not even a word.

Thank you. 907 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,600 Right see some of y'all don't want to look at Jesus this way 908 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,760 and there's story after story after story after story. 909 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,680 You can look at it as rude or you can say what is he doing by 910 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:53,080 ignoring her because if you keep reading the story she doesn't 911 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,360 give up. And he says, man, I ain't seen 912 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,880 no faith like. This her faith, although it 913 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:07,360 wasn't her time, move God out of time and see see see like 914 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,480 there's this principle that God is not ignoring you. 915 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,360 He is trying to burst this hunger for Him. 916 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:20,240 And some of y'all don't want to keep praying because you want 917 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:24,960 God to just move. But God's not interested in what 918 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:29,840 you're interested in if what you're interested in is greater 919 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:34,360 than He. And some of y'all want a job 920 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,040 more than you want a relationship with God. 921 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,880 Some of y'all want your spouse to change more than you want to 922 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,600 change and be who God called you to be. 923 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,440 So you've made an idol out of your spouse's issues? 924 01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,720 Super rude. Watch this. 925 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:04,880 I'm just about to watch this. Jesus ignored blind Bartimaeus. 926 01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:12,240 Blind Bartimaeus here he is. Jesus son of David, have mercy 927 01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,480 on me. And they were like quiet down 928 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,640 bro rude. And it said he cried out the 929 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:21,960 more Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. 930 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,000 Jesus is ignoring him the whole time. 931 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:28,280 But here's another story. Right. 932 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,040 This thing in the green is kind of what's going on in your mind. 933 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,800 If this happened, maybe my healing is not for me today. 934 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:43,000 I don't know why healing is for them but not for me, but blind 935 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,360 Barty May is. He cried out the more loud and 936 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:49,800 what happened? Jesus say whoa there is 937 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,520 desperation in his frequency. He really wants me. 938 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,240 Some of y'all have no desperation in the frequencies 939 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,720 of your prayer. You just want God to get you out 940 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:05,360 of something. But does your life change show 941 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:11,240 how much you really want God. He ignored blind Bartimaeus. 942 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,640 Here it is you ready? Starving the flesh births 943 01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,920 desperation for God and God alone. 944 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:25,640 Maybe The thing is not for me, but maybe God is for me. 945 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,200 Have you ever thought about the thing you're waiting for is not 946 01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:38,840 the most important thing? Mark 8 Look at this blind man, 947 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,760 begged him to touch him. They brought him a blind man and 948 01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:43,920 said, touch me. Watch this. 949 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,320 He caught the blind man by the hand, took him out of the city 950 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,160 again. Getting rid of doubt, getting 951 01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:55,080 rid of all the attention. Do you want to be healed or you 952 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,640 want it how you want it, when you want it? 953 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,120 Man, I've had somebody. You want to believe this? 954 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,520 I had somebody who was possessed by some demons. 955 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:10,040 You going to come to me and tell me and my wife and the elders? 956 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,160 No, I want to do this privately. Or they was like deal with me 957 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:18,800 aggressively. You want deliverance or you want 958 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,680 to dictate if you can tell me how to deliver, you deliver 959 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,800 yourself because I'm not the one that delivers in the 1st place. 960 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,280 But look at what Jesus did. The Bible says what he blind 961 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,960 right? What did the Bible say Jesus 962 01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:34,720 did? Read it. 963 01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,880 He he what? Come on, talk to me. 964 01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,840 Right blonde, you ain't seen since you ain't never seen 965 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:43,280 before.

He spit on your face. 968 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:58,560 You going to be too? Do you want to see? 969 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:04,160 But what if receiving your sight? 970 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,240 Jesus says you got to get a little mess. 971 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:07,760 It got to get a little messy. 1st. 972 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:10,920 What if he had to interrupt your life? 973 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:15,040 You're in a mess right now. He didn't spit in your 974 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:19,480 situation, but you're about to walk in the clarity that you've 975 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,080 been waiting for.

Now you want to tell him how you 981 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:39,480 want to get free, right? It's like asking for a husband. 982 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:42,000 You he bless you with one. And then now you want to change 983 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,440 your mouth. Somebody say rude. 984 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,480 Look at this.

He knows what's best for us. 1224 01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,400 I'm going to have to pick this up next Sunday, but man, we have 1225 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,680 made Jesus to be out to be this just person we can run over. 1226 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,920 It's like we. Can act however we want to act, 1227 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:38,600 then go and make a request and then be mad when it ain't 1228 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:47,210 answered. And what we call a answered 1229 01:24:47,210 --> 01:24:50,050 prayer is merely God's facilitating promise. 1230 01:24:51,970 --> 01:24:54,010 He's not doing anything new per SE. 1231 01:24:54,010 --> 01:25:01,360 He's given us everything that we need and and us N Americans have 1232 01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:07,000 made Christianity a joke.

We know how to do all of that. 1235 01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:15,080 But it's these sobering messages right here that really brings 1236 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:18,320 transformation. It's when we got to sit here and 1237 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:23,000 really be like, man, I like my.

And you know what's at the 1248 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:17,320 expense your witness, some of you in here bring a lot of. 1249 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:21,800 Confusion to your friends.

No, no, no, no, no. 1265 01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,000 Remember, we just read about Rude Jesus. 1266 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,240 So this is the word I'm only. Speaking to you. 1267 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:32,000 Don't forsake the gathering of the Saints, the gathering, the 1268 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:40,760 gathering, the ongoing gathering from giving to serving to being 1269 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,280 that giant out there in the world, in the culture so the 1270 01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:50,840 culture doesn't consume you, to forgiving, walking in love, to 1271 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,880 not living the life of the flesh, to not living double 1272 01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:59,800 minded, lukewarm.

We're going 30 minutes longer, 1275 01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:06,960 an hour longer.

And guess what God's answer is 1285 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,560 to the city. His local church. 1286 01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:14,120 I'm crying out to you, stop playing whoever this is for. 1287 01:29:14,440 --> 01:29:18,200 Lukewarm Christianity is not cute. 1288 01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:26,120 A storm is coming and how you last in the storm will expose 1289 01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:30,480 your foundation and your church attendance won't stand. 1290 01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:39,240 The excuses over and being on fire. 1291 01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:43,240 For Jesus is not because there's a whole lot of people we went 1292 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:47,760 and jumping around and and lukewarm being on fire for 1293 01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:53,040 Jesus, not talking in tongues. There's a whole lot of. 1294 01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:58,280 Cussing tongues. It's about at the end of the 1295 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,920 day, man, put all that religious stuff aside is like, are you the 1296 01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,320 real deal or what? That's the question I got for 1297 01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:09,840 you. What are you willing to pay? 1298 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,600 I don't know about you but the real Jesus saved my life and 1299 01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,560 where I was from and what what what God has brought me from. 1300 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,720 I owe him my life. And when you put it in 1301 01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,360 perspective that one thing you want to cling to ain't worth 1302 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,080 what he let go of to be with you. 1303 01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:32,600 And I'm not here just to fill seeds. 1304 01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,000 Trust me these this church is going to be filled with people 1305 01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:40,920 who hungry for God. But I've never. 1306 01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:42,600 Been raised in a lukewarm church. 1307 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:47,720 Ever always been raised around accountability and I praise God 1308 01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:49,920 for pastors who kept it straight and real with me. 1309 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:58,440 But lukewarm. Thank you, double life, thank 1310 01:30:58,440 --> 01:31:04,760 you. I don't know why we skipped from 1311 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:08,240 holy to go to so rude. We ain't picking this up past 1312 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:12,280 next week at most, but I do believe this message was an 1313 01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:17,000 interruption. Because this, this message is 1314 01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:21,440 pretty practical. Like God, at the end of the day, 1315 01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:24,680 thank God he's interrupted our mess. 1316 01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:32,520 There's some stuff I know I would have kids with, some folks 1317 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:36,240 that I would not be with right now if he didn't interrupt my 1318 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:44,920 life. When are you going to celebrate 1319 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:51,800 that he snatched you out of a pit instead of complaining about 1320 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:53,360 you? What, you missed that thing or 1321 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:57,880 you missed that thing? Do you know the joy if you can 1322 01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:00,800 see five years from now where you would have been if he didn't 1323 01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:05,080 interrupt your life? I don't know who this is for, 1324 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,320 but there's a cry in my soul. Stop. 1325 01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:20,240 Playing his mercy, his grace, it's real. 1326 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,560 And some of you in here are playing with your life and 1327 01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:27,960 you're playing with other people's life. 1328 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,320 You have not been saved from that. 1329 01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:36,920 Car accident from that mental illness, from that drug 1330 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:42,880 addiction, from that alcoholism, from that demon possession, from 1331 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:45,480 that child abuse. You haven't been healed from 1332 01:32:45,480 --> 01:32:51,640 that molestation, so you can stay parked at lukewarm come 1333 01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:54,240 out. It's not worth it. 1334 01:33:02,420 --> 01:33:06,340 And as much as we say in the bus is left and shoulder season is 1335 01:33:06,340 --> 01:33:10,700 over, there's still a cry that I'm picking up from heaven. 1336 01:33:10,860 --> 01:33:14,100 And God does not want to leave you behind. 1337 01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:22,800 He's really trying to break these cycles in your bloodline 1338 01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:29,000 and the Father that you're mad about, you're just becoming. 1339 01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,880 Just like him, but in a different version of him. 1340 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,560 You're still bringing the same abuse. 1341 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:37,720 It's just emotional, not physical. 1342 01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:46,440 And the way the devil stays in generations and in bloodlines, 1343 01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:51,000 he changes his mask. And you think you not like your 1344 01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:52,640 Mama? You think you not like your 1345 01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:55,560 daddy. Oh, you go to church more than 1346 01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,120 them. But are you working the word in 1347 01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,240 your life? Not just working attendance. 1348 01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,480 Why do we have to squeeze attendance in? 1349 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:06,360 Why do we have to? Why is? 1350 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:09,920 This why is God just? Battling for your attention, 1351 01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:13,600 your time. Get it over with. 1352 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,760 Gathering with the Saints is biblical. 1353 01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:24,360 Giving is biblical. You ready? 1354 01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:29,240 If you taste Jesus, you don't need to keep alcohol in your 1355 01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:36,160 life. Stop looking for scriptures that 1356 01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:44,240 tell you specifically. I don't care if you got a weed 1357 01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:47,160 license, I don't care if it's a plant. 1358 01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:54,240 You really taste Jesus. It's no greater joy. 1359 01:34:59,870 --> 01:35:02,950 Whatever you do. This week your church has 1360 01:35:02,950 --> 01:35:07,150 offered you another opportunity in 2-3 days to gather with the 1361 01:35:07,150 --> 01:35:09,230 Saints, worship, get some word in you. 1362 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:13,280 Because if the truth sets you free, you're free indeed. 1363 01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:17,440 Forget a quick deliverance, drive your strongholds out with 1364 01:35:17,440 --> 01:35:20,720 the Word of God, and you'll be free indeed. 1365 01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:26,320 I am not free this way because I had a demon cast out of me and I 1366 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,000 rolled around on the altar and I snotted on a mat. 1367 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:34,040 I am free because the day I made my mind up, I stayed around His 1368 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:38,320 Saints, I stayed in His Word, I stayed worshipping and I let the 1369 01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:40,040 Word do what it's supposed to do. 1370 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:50,640 You ready? If you're not going to follow 1371 01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:54,040 Jesus, don't bring another kid in this world. 1372 01:35:59,500 --> 01:36:02,740 If you're not going to follow Jesus, don't ask to marry 1373 01:36:02,740 --> 01:36:05,180 nobody, and don't ask nobody to marry you. 1374 01:36:09,300 --> 01:36:11,860 These are clear instructions that I'm giving some of y'all. 1375 01:36:12,100 --> 01:36:17,180 Like it or not, rude or not, remember that I told you this. 1376 01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:27,320 This is a season, straight up. God wants you to himself. 1377 01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:33,160 And he tried to let you have what you wanted and work him in, 1378 01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,240 but it won't work. God wants you to himself. 1379 01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:46,440 You cannot undo what you're in, but you can do right as you move 1380 01:36:46,440 --> 01:36:51,120 forward. We're going to take a few 1381 01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:52,480 minutes. You can go home, whatever you 1382 01:36:52,480 --> 01:36:53,600 got to do. We're going to take a few 1383 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:57,800 minutes and have a Say Law moment. 1384 01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:02,640 For those that don't understand what Say Law is, it's when they 1385 01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:08,640 allow the minstrels to play as the word is pondered and 1386 01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:11,080 meditated on. If you want to use this 1387 01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:15,920 opportunity to go home, please, But what I'm not going to do is 1388 01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,920 give you this quick ending and then go home. 1389 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:23,800 And then we've socialized and the severity of this word is 1390 01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:29,040 overlooked. I'm here to tell you God is not 1391 01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,920 rude. Jesus is not rude. 1392 01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:36,000 Someone that makes these abrupt decisions in your life, someone 1393 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:38,440 that is interrupting you, someone that will not leave you 1394 01:37:38,440 --> 01:37:42,520 alone nor forsake you so that you can live the life that He 1395 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:44,320 created you for. That's not rude. 1396 01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,400 What is rude is those friends that let you get away with 1397 01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:51,000 rebellion and won't tell you. What is rude is to be a parent, 1398 01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:54,200 to be a friend, to be a child, to be a student, to be a peer, 1399 01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:58,280 to be a Co worker and allow disobedience to function around 1400 01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,640 you and don't say nothing. That's rude. 1401 01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:08,240 What's rude is you hang around lost friends and you won't 1402 01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,640 preach Jesus to them. That's rude. 1403 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:18,440 What's rude is you won't make the decisions to change for your 1404 01:38:18,440 --> 01:38:23,080 children. That's rude because for God so 1405 01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:25,840 loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. 1406 01:38:28,440 --> 01:38:30,120 God gave a life. You can give up a. 1407 01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:34,680 Cup God gave a life, you can give up a joint. 1408 01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:38,600 I just feel the Lord is saying He is trying to do something 1409 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,000 right now in some people's hearts. 1410 01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:44,840 And you can be too familiar with my voice or you can hear God's 1411 01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:55,320 word and take a few moments and just listen and say, Lord, 1412 01:38:56,200 --> 01:39:00,600 search my heart that I might not sin against you. 1413 01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:06,320 I buried a word in my heart that I might not sin against you and 1414 01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:11,880 truly give the Holy Spirit of space to bring conviction. 1415 01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:17,480 And He's not asking you to do everything at once. 1416 01:39:17,480 --> 01:39:21,440 But man, this week you got to take some steps towards Him. 1417 01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:28,280 Sons and daughters are coming home. 1418 01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:36,600 Take a few moments, Lord, What are you saying to me? 1419 01:39:42,880 --> 01:40:22,020 Glory to glory. Lord, forgive us. 1420 01:41:12,730 --> 01:41:41,000 A few more moments. Some of you stop doubting 1421 01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:45,080 yourself. You can do it. 1422 01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:47,640 You can walk away, you can put it down. 1423 01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:55,040 I pray in this moment that the negotiating in your mind ceases. 1424 01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,280 Being stuck between two decisions? 1425 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:07,000 Cease. Stuck between two lives? 1426 01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:29,920 Cease. Make a decisive dedication 1427 01:42:29,920 --> 01:43:29,850 today. I hear Jesus so clearly. 1428 01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:41,920 Simple, follow me. We've made it about finding a 1429 01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:45,440 church home. We've made it about so many 1430 01:43:45,440 --> 01:43:46,760 other things. And it's simple. 1431 01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:55,920 Follow me. I want to lead. 1432 01:43:55,920 --> 01:44:11,320 You follow me. Follow me. 1433 01:44:44,420 --> 01:44:49,160 Two more minutes. Follow me. 1434 01:44:56,960 --> 01:45:02,080 There's some of you in here that have laid down your call because 1435 01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:05,680 you're just busy with work. It doesn't mean that there's not 1436 01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:12,600 purpose in your work, and this is not for everybody, but there 1437 01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:20,560 is an higher call. And realistically, everybody's 1438 01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:28,480 busy with something, but we must be intentional with our time and 1439 01:45:28,480 --> 01:45:38,240 intentional with our call. I just hear, I just really hear 1440 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,640 the Lord for a few of you, or the Lord's like, pick it back 1441 01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:43,840 up. I'll give you wisdom and how to 1442 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,440 navigate both and how to navigate. 1443 01:45:47,440 --> 01:46:00,800 All of it. Pick the mantle back up, pick 1444 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:04,440 the call back up. You can do it. 1445 01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:10,120 It will take you to prioritize some things. 1446 01:46:13,760 --> 01:46:20,800 And for whoever this is. For forgive yourself, forgive 1447 01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:27,680 yourself. We've all been stupid carpenters 1448 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:33,760 building stupid old houses, and by the mercy and the grace of 1449 01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:40,440 God, He's allowed the house to crumble while He preserved us. 1450 01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:46,800 Why don't you? Celebrate you not being 1451 01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:48,680 destroyed, although the house was. 1452 01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:52,720 I promise you a year from now you're going to look back and 1453 01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:54,600 say I'm glad he didn't let that stand. 1454 01:47:11,020 --> 01:47:19,280 Those that are hungry and thirsty for righteousness shall 1455 01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:35,080 be filled. Whatever you're hungry for, 1456 01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:42,720 whatever you're thirsty for, it will fill you but not fulfill 1457 01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:43,680 you. Like Jesus. 1458 01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:50,600 Some of us are full off the wrong stuff. 1459 01:47:59,620 --> 01:48:02,460 I will say as the word says. The day you hear my voice. 1460 01:48:04,420 --> 01:48:12,660 Harden not your heart, Church. The Lord is calling us back to 1461 01:48:12,660 --> 01:48:19,820 Himself and I don't know how many people in here have ears to 1462 01:48:19,820 --> 01:48:27,840 hear. But I pray you heard through the 1463 01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:33,720 laughter, through the length, through the cries. 1464 01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:36,800 I pray you heard from the Lord somewhere in your heart and your 1465 01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:44,790 spirit. Storms are coming. 1466 01:48:48,350 --> 01:48:54,630 No one is exempt, but what really matters is what ear is 1467 01:48:54,630 --> 01:49:02,920 your foundation made of? I'm glad to say that not because 1468 01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:06,400 I'm so tough, but I know what's in my foundation. 1469 01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:15,280 And I'm glad that my wife and I did the work to rebuild our 1470 01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:17,640 foundation. And I'm glad my grandma and my 1471 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:21,160 mom laid down a firm foundation for us. 1472 01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:26,800 And my prayer today to you is if you know that you've been 1473 01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:37,800 building on saying that you make the decision tonight to stop and 1474 01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:45,360 build right on the rock. Christ the solid rock. 1475 01:49:46,480 --> 01:50:01,080 I stand all other ground sinking sand up on this rock, he says. 1476 01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:05,400 I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail. 1477 01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:15,960 Hell prevails in houses that's built on sand. 1478 01:50:17,480 --> 01:50:21,000 I declare over you today no more. 1479 01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:27,400 Today is the final notice to all of hell. 1480 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:34,240 No more you shall steal. No more you shall bind. 1481 01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:40,360 No more you shall lie, no more. And I will not believe you no 1482 01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:45,920 more. Today I declare over you that 1483 01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:49,600 you will take the word and it will become your fortress. 1484 01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:53,400 It will become your strength. It will become with you. 1485 01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:57,600 Stand on trust in. It will become what you find 1486 01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:03,520 your identity in. I declare that fear will not be 1487 01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:08,280 your medicine, that doubt and unbelief will not be your 1488 01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:12,120 fortress. I declare today that you will 1489 01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:16,560 not find your identity in your trauma, but you will find your 1490 01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:20,880 identity in the King of King and the Lord of Lords. 1491 01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:26,120 Today I declare for some of you that you will take your life 1492 01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:30,960 back. You will take your identity in 1493 01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:35,560 Christ back.
