1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,480 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,560 Church podcast, where we seek to love all nations, equip the 3 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,480 church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all. 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,040 We're super glad you're joining us from whenever and wherever 5 00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,720 you're at in the world. Welcome to the family to get 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,440 your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,640 some tea, and get ready to receive. 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,680 It's cold time, let's get into it. 9 00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:31,680 My greatest prayer is that every person in this room did not just 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:40,240 show up for the sake of going to church, but that you actually 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:52,040 grab a hold of something that God is trying to implant into 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:58,480 your heart, into your life. I am going to do a quick little 13 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,239 review of this morning and then we'll hopefully get into some 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,960 newer material. But I feel like this year is a 15 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,640 year that God is really, really, really, really ready to do some 16 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,160 significant things in His children's life. 17 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,800 And I know the enemy knows that and I know he's going to fight 18 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,880 like hell to get you to at bare minimum, just stay the same 19 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,560 person, right? He's going to, he's going to 20 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,000 fight like hell to get you to manage your bondage, not break 21 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,600 free from it, right? He's going to, he's going to try 22 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,200 and get you into coping instead of overcoming. 23 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,080 Am I, am I talking to a, to at least three people in here, 24 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,640 right? And and a lot of times we 25 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,840 celebrate. We now know how to cope here. 26 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,960 Here it is. He didn't ask you to just become 27 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:07,120 mature in your bondage, right? He didn't say OK, I was 28 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,759 alcoholic. Now I only drink twice a week. 29 00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:21,620 Like if if free indeed is yours, then why not take it? 30 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,600 Right, I'll share it this morning that that that your 31 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,640 heart is not made to be closed. Now I got to be careful. 32 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,040 I'm not going to do anything, say anything medical. 33 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,640 I got doctor in here. OK, so I'm not going to say 34 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:42,080 anything. So I got accountability in here. 35 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,080 But I do know that the heart has valves. 36 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,960 OK, And if those valves close, what happens? 37 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,080 Talk to me, OK, if you understand that you were created 38 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:05,760 before your body was created. So get up off of physical and 39 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,560 understand that the spiritual and the physical, they work 40 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,360 together like Old Testament and New Testament. 41 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,520 Old Testament shadows and types. OK, New Testament, right. 42 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,680 Old Testament we build temples that man can build with their 43 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,600 hands. New Testament those those 44 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680 buildings aren't made. You are the temple. 45 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,000 Understand that. OK, so the same way physically a 46 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,120 heart attack happens in a physical body, it happens to a 47 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,200 believer who keeps their heart, soul, mind, same thing closed. 48 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,640 And So what the enemy loves to try and us get us to do is close 49 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,040 the close the valves of our heart, our soul. 50 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,360 How do you keep the how does a believer keep the valves of 51 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,640 their heart open? Right. 52 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,160 You can look around the church and tell who has closed valves 53 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,720 in church because closed a closed mouth represents closed 54 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,280 valves. Out of the abundance of the 55 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:27,760 heart. The mouth speaks as a man 56 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,200 thinks. When you're talking about 57 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,080 biblically speaking, thinketh. Anytime you see mind, heart, 58 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,960 soul, it's Speaking of the same thing. 59 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,720 He, God didn't say I knock on the door of your heart like your 60 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,880 physical heart. I knock on the door of your 61 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,000 soul, your mind, your suitcase, your thinker, your filler, your 62 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,760 chooser. If you can open that up and let 63 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,440 me in. Out of the abundance of the 64 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,160 heart, the mouth, what speaks? And some of you think worship is 65 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,560 a religious duty versus a privileged lifeline. 66 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,360 You are actually killing yourself when you don't open 67 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,760 your mouth in worship. This is what you were created to 68 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,280 do. If a dog stop barking, it's a 69 00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:34,800 problem. If a bird stop flying, it's a 70 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,960 problem. If a fish is taken out of water, 71 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,360 it's a problem. And if you don't worship, you're 72 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,520 a problem. Worship has nothing to do with 73 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,960 how you were raised. It doesn't have nothing to do 74 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,760 with the color of your skin. All of God's children supposed 75 00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:00,360 to be loud sometimes. It ain't black people, it ain't 76 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,320 the charismatic church. It's sons and daughters make a 77 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,520 joyful noise. Let everything that has breath 78 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:15,640 praise the Lord, right, right, right, right, right. 79 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,160 I was like, Lord, do I do I share this? 80 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,400 Well, how many songs did we do this morning? 81 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,520 1 1/2 and it wasn't because we started later, but what we will 82 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,960 not be is a church who uses praise and worship as a filler 83 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,680 when nobody, when there's people in here don't want to be filled. 84 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,200 What you not going to do is waste the anointing of God. 85 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,120 We sit here and entertain you and make some noise for 45 86 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,760 minutes and the valves of your heart stay closed. 87 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,000 So when the word come be like we're going to come out here and 88 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,840 do one song and depending on the level of our reception then we 89 00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,320 going to worship on the back end. 90 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,520 But worship is not to entertain you. 91 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,800 Worship is not to what we do to start church. 92 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Worship is not what we got to do. 93 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,560 When you are privileged with such skill musicians and singers 94 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,600 that God sends to you clearly he trying to get your vows wide 95 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:22,600 open and some of y'all just sit here and watch don't say 96 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,360 nothing. I can understand someone who 97 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:31,040 does not go to who is not a believer, I understand but for 98 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960 some of y'all who you know that you ain't here by nothing but 99 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,440 the grace of God. Now what does a house? 100 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,400 Look like when everybody the worship leader. 101 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,160 When, when everybody, I'm so full of the spirit, I Can't Sing 102 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,920 the words of the song because I'm singing the new song. 103 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,240 So worship is a defibrillator. It is a something that brings 104 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,120 it's meant to bring life. So if you can sit in a 45 minute 105 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,280 set and don't have no expression, that's what you call 106 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,680 dead. Right. 107 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,640 How? How long we going? 108 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,480 How long we going? How long do you do CPR on 109 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,280 somebody before you pronounce them dead? 110 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:30,080 Long enough, huh? What's that long enough? 111 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,280 Do you afford? I know there's variations. 112 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,120 I mean, school me a little bit to be. 113 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,000 Honest, I wait for God to resurrect the. 114 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,360 Dead right. So you got a spirit filled 115 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,240 doctor. OK. 116 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,280 All right. Do do we got any people who just 117 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:54,240 got their CPR certificate, huh? No. 118 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,960 Huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 'cause 119 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,120 I'm, I'm believing for them to raise the dead too, but I'm 120 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,760 just, I'm like to huh. Yeah, yeah. 121 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:13,720 No, not doctor, not doctor stuff, just the class, yeah. 122 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,080 Right, so then they take over and then they drive. 123 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,840 I'll be watching first 48 sometime and and they they yeah, 124 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,280 right. You always know it his his he he 125 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,520 just like they on their way to the John blah blah blah medical. 126 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,840 Center where he dies. Like not one part. 127 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,880 There is very few people that make it then we always know it 128 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,280 and they like 30 episode 3030. You get what I'm saying, 129 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,880 Seasons. And like every time you hear 130 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,240 they went to the hospital and they died, right? 131 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,360 Some people died because we're not going to even get into that. 132 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,040 OK, Anyway, you get you get on set. 133 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,280 There's a there's a point in time where you got to move on. 134 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,560 There's there's a point in time you got to move on. 135 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,160 This, this is on the basic level. 136 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,320 You, you got to stop begging that friend to be your friend. 137 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,440 You got to stop begging that family member to come to church. 138 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,480 You got to, you got to you, you got to, you got to. 139 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,880 Because if, if, if you spend all your time to revive the dead, 140 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,840 you end up dead. As he said, only Jesus can 141 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,200 really resurrect the dead, especially when we're talking in 142 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,920 our spirit, right? But one conviction I have and 143 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,280 one thing I do understand is that, man, we're in a worship 144 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:38,280 war, right? Who has the allegiance of your 145 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,120 heart? You hear what I'm saying? 146 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,880 And if you trying to get a people to a generation to 147 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,880 understand I, I guess, I guess Spotify and Apple Music and all 148 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,320 of that is a problem too, because back in the day you used 149 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,120 to have to go, you only had as much music as you bought. 150 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,440 So if you had no money you might have two CDs or I don't know how 151 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:10,520 far you go back tapes 8 tracks for some of y'all vinyl right 152 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,200 today. You. 153 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:18,080 Have too much to listen to and too much to watch and depending 154 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,840 on your TV? You, you, you. 155 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,000 You maybe had one. Clear. 156 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,200 Channel you spent most of the time hitting the side of the TV 157 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,000 yeah I got any any people that had those old TV's right and so. 158 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:47,840 So worship is a lifeline and in our worship there is levels and 159 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,520 measures to go. Again, look at a swimming pool. 160 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:54,040 Like I hate when a swimming pool stop at 5 feet. 161 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,280 Because I'm tall for some of you, I get it. 162 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,000 You 5 feet is like like the like. 163 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Red Sea that's like deep for you. 164 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:12,680 OK, I get right. Some of y'all die diving 10 feet 165 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,360 into 5 feet. So I'm not I can't do that if I 166 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,160 if I dive into 5 feet is is real dangerous. 167 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:25,440 OK, but I'm talking about like Ezekiel tells us, ankle deep, 168 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,040 knee deep, waist deep. Like last year, if you started 169 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,200 at ankle deep, you should at bare minimum be calf deep, 170 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,400 right? The reason I trust me, I'm not 171 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,320 somebody who grew up like man, just I can't wait to grow up to 172 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,080 every Sunday tell people they need to worship. 173 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,160 That wasn't a dream. This is a raw conviction when I 174 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:56,000 walk out of those doors and see. That man, you're missing it like 175 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,360 you, there's a level and a measure of God you're not 176 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,960 experiencing because there's a certain level. 177 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,720 They're say ankle deep is I walk in a place that I can tell God 178 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,840 is so so man, it's been prayer and worship going on in this 179 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,560 house.

You said not again, you said 682 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,600 never again. There was a point where you drew 683 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,480 a line in the sand, a point where you put your foot down and 684 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,960 maybe you did that once and and didn't do it 20 other times, but 685 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:46,360 just to encourage you is is God is saying that where you are. 686 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,040 It has been him honoring even the one. 687 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:58,520 Never again, right? Like like if you don't learn how 688 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:06,800 to celebrate the small victories that you have accomplished, it 689 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,360 will be hard to create a momentum of victory in your 690 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,280 life. OK. 691 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:18,280 And we're in a world where it's just next, next, next, next, 692 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,360 next and some. And I have been in a place in my 693 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:26,240 life where I've had to celebrate the same victory for several 694 00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:30,880 years. Let me tell you something. 695 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,760 Getting in this building what I'm getting in this unfinished 696 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,200 building. Was a victory. 697 00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:46,560 It is nothing like leading homeless sheep. 698 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,880 Oh, I forgot y'all not shepherds. 699 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,360 So you don't understand what I'm saying. 700 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,600 OK, They're disgruntled. They they go everywhere. 701 00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:58,080 They don't have home. It's an orphan spirit. 702 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,840 And and and then we're also not treated like his home. 703 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,760 We got to get in, unpack pack. We got to get people serving, 704 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,840 setting up, breaking down longer than they get poured into. 705 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,120 Now this, this building ever got to get finished? 706 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,400 Please Lord do.

And what you don't understand is 709 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:31,200 that the celebration of where we are is what opens the door to 710 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,320 eyes to see where we're going, which in turn gives me the 711 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,520 stability I need to stand while I'm waiting. 712 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:46,200 So God's like, how are you about to ask me to open another door? 713 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,480 And you still have overlooked what we just walked through. 714 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,360 It's just like breakthrough, boom, God, breakthrough God, 715 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,040 give, give me a job six months later, give me a raise. 716 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,520 You got a raise. I need now promotion to another 717 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,200 position. And you're not just happy and 718 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,280 celebrating what you have overcome. 719 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,880 It's just this grind in the world to kind of get ahead. 720 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,640 Not knowing for the believer you're ahead is in the head. 721 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,200 See, it's not in you sucking and jiving and striving and 722 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,360 finagling and manipulating and and, and I can't say I can't do 723 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,080 this because I got to get here. And if I don't take this 724 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,320 opportunity, I'll never accomplish my goals. 725 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,760 You care more about your goals than your God. 726 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,560 Should have, could have, would have said beware the side 727 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,120 effects of glory because I'm 100% of you in here will 728 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,160 experience God's glory. If you haven't already. 729 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,120 God will do what he said He'll do. 730 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,480 He is going to bless you. He's already blessed you. 731 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,120 He will prosper you, 100% of you. 732 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,840 He. This is not a matter of God will 733 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,800 prosper you. It's a matter of will you have 734 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,800 the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the capacity to 735 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,280 maintain and contain the blessing that God is going to 736 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,240 bring in your life. This isn't. 737 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,320 This this, this, this isn't about God. 738 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,520 Is he going to do it? If you don't got eyes to see, 739 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:26,640 you won't even see how he's blessing you sometimes God, it's 740 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:33,600 God blessing you that they walked out and you praying God, 741 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,120 what should I do? And he say. 742 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,480 Let him walk, he like no what should I really do? 743 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,600 And he ain't going to answer you again. 744 00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:51,120 It's God's doing. Genesis 39 Somebody say should 745 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,960 have could have, would have we read this story. 746 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,320 I don't want to stick here too long, but the Lord was with 747 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:02,920 Joseph and and and he he though a slave he though a what talk to 748 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:03,800 me. He though a what? 749 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,080 I need you to shout that shout that out. 750 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,080 He though a what? He, though a slave, was a what 751 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,440 successful and what prosperous man. 752 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:19,320 Who we oh, we there there is divine, what you would call 753 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:25,120 captivity divine that, that that season in your life where it 754 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,760 seemed like you can't get ahead and you right, You got to be 755 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,640 careful putting language to seasons that God didn't give you 756 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,920 language for, right? It's very dangerous because if 757 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,520 you, if you add your emotional language to a season, you'll 758 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,880 have an emotional season and you'll walk out of that season 759 00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:48,960 not benefiting from the divine waiting pattern that God had you 760 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,400 in. See, God will give you language, 761 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,560 right? Here's language. 762 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:59,880 Oh, this building is all about God showing his people what he's 763 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:04,840 doing in them. OK, you see, that language can 764 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,440 allow me to wait because I can make a correlation between how 765 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,400 long it's taken to get that beautified and how long it seems 766 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,880 to get my life right when God got me on the surgery table, 767 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,160 right? You can't move on to certain 768 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:28,240 seasons until you have certain permits, OK OK. 769 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:33,280 And so when I have language to it, this building is no longer 770 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,520 hey project. It's an illustration. 771 00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:45,240 I'm not talking to anybody. And how how many people have saw 772 00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:47,320 what you're going through? It's trauma instead of an 773 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,600 illustration of something God has been trying to do. 774 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,960 Oh, man, I'm trying to help a few people in here. 775 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,000 I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying, right? 776 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,360 Because in Old Testament, before Jesus even hit the scene, he was 777 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,480 on the scene and he was trying to get illustrations that like 778 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,560 you can look at Joseph's life, you can look at Noah and you can 779 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,800 look at the ark and be like that was an illustration of Christ. 780 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,000 You can look at Abraham's sacrifice and say that was an 781 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,720 illustration of Christ. You can look at Ruth, you can 782 00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:19,720 look at Naomi, you can look at Elijah. 783 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,240 You can see all these illustrations of Christ. 784 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,000 And after the illustrations come the manifestation. 785 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,240 There was no Jesus manifested till they start talking about 786 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:44,160 Jesus. Isaiah talked about Jesus there, 787 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,760 right? There's a season where you got 788 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,840 to prophecy the promise before you see it. 789 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,240 If you can't put language to what he promised, if you can't 790 00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:59,280 put godly language to a tumultuous season, you will not 791 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,440 benefit from that season. Why? 792 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,640 Why did I go through this loss? OK, be emotional about it, 793 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,320 grief, cool. But I guarantee you God has a 794 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,760 language for that grief or for that loss or for that season. 795 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,120 And the moment you can get the language to that season. 796 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,760 Let me tell you the with the language. 797 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:28,400 Comes strength to endure Jesus in this moment. 798 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,840 He says let this cup pass, but nevertheless and then and then 799 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,960 understand. He understood the language for 800 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:41,920 that season was not about his pain, it was about your demise. 801 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,560 That, that, that. Whole season of darkness with 802 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,360 Jesus. He had language, and the 803 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:57,880 language was them. And because them was the 804 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,840 language and not him, He was able to endure. 805 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,160 Hebrews 12 tells us that he despised the shame. 806 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:12,440 And he looked forward and He saw our freedom. 807 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,240 He saw you one day sitting in the church, having an 808 00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:19,520 opportunity to worship between you and the Father once again. 809 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,000 Did this what you got to understand? 810 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,240 We just had that break. That wasn't just like, let's 811 00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:27,160 sing. I wish you got this revelation. 812 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:32,840 All you parents who love playing with your kids and you love it 813 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,360 when your kids is like Mama Dada and when they play in front of 814 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,160 you and they just doing this and you're just sitting there. 815 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:43,120 You like, wow, here's one of the things you see in your kids when 816 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,640 they're playing. Here's one of the things that 817 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,640 you see in your kids when they're playing. 818 00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:53,400 It's not one time your kids is not playing and you don't see 819 00:54:53,400 --> 00:55:01,360 you. So while you think that was just 820 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:06,040 a moment to sing overflow, what God saw is his kids. 821 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,040 And guess what he did in Genesis? 822 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,480 He put himself in you. And when you praise Him and when 823 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,800 you breathe in the rhythms of grace, guess what He sees? 824 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:23,040 He sees himself. Stop. 825 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,160 Stop robbing God from playing with his kids. 826 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,800 Because have you ever played with a kid with attitude? 827 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,560 You you ever had a kid? In front of you like this. 828 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,440 And then here's it. You ever have a kid sit in front 829 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,640 of you like this? You'd be like, what's wrong? 830 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:47,440 They'd be like nothing. This is this is, this is the 831 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,960 posture, right? This is, this is the posture. 832 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,880 This, this is this is our posture. 833 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,880 This is how we live, even if we're not physically like this, 834 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,880 our hearts is like this. Our valves are open. 835 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,440 Jesus was on the cross, valve was open, right? 836 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,800 His heart was fully available for God his whole walk. 837 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:19,240 Can you imagine Jesus on the cross with the cross, Right, 838 00:56:19,240 --> 00:56:22,560 Just on the cross, Gangsta. No, there's no strength in a 839 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:29,000 closed heart, right? When somebody have a heart 840 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000 attack, one of the first things they do, they collapse. 841 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,760 You can't even. Walk with your heart closed. 842 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,000 You wondering why you can't hear from God? 843 00:56:38,720 --> 00:56:42,240 Your heart closed. And that's why it's very silly 844 00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:45,040 to close your heart off because the church hurt. 845 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,440 Because if you close your heart off to His church, you close 846 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,200 your heart off to the head of the church. 847 00:56:55,320 --> 00:57:02,000 So I says guard your heart, guard it, Garrison, protect it. 848 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:11,480 For out of it flows your issues, your issues, not his issues, not 849 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,520 your spouse issues, not your kids issues. 850 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,200 Want to change your surroundings? 851 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:25,400 Open your heart to the Lord. We see Joseph, Joseph prosper 852 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:30,080 man, prosperous man as a slave. Bible says he that that that 853 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:37,160 Potiphar saw the favor on Joseph's life. 854 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,480 The master saw that the Lord was with him. 855 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,120 When you're walking in the street, can people tell the Lord 856 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,280 is with you? When you open your mouth, can 857 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:50,560 they tell the Lord is with you? Right. 858 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,160 I would say 95%. I don't know when my wife pray. 859 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,640 I know my wife pray. I'm not with her when she prays. 860 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,600 Sometimes we'll pray together or sometimes I walk past and I hear 861 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,720 her praying or we're driving somewhere and I hear her 862 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,680 praying. But she got her prayer life. 863 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:10,880 But I can tell she prays. I can tell she prays to how she 864 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,160 responds because I met her when she wasn't praying. 865 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,240 What are you talking about? Don't tell me you got a 866 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,680 relationship with God but you struggle trying to have one with 867 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,760 me. You know I give me no grace. 868 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,600 No, you can't be a grace taker and not a grace giver. 869 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:41,000 You should be able to see your walk with God says everything 870 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,040 that brother touched, everything that brother had, it flourished. 871 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,800 And so the moral of that story right there is Joseph said here, 872 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,360 you going, I'm going to have to put everything in your hands and 873 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,880 I want you to see the progression of stewardship. 874 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:02,240 He was like, OK, I'm put them. OK, I need to put everything. 875 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,320 You can't have my wife with. I'm putting everything in in 876 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,000 your hands. Say smart move. 877 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,240 Right, a lot of people in here looking for ownership. 878 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,280 You know, you know, it's really silly is we think in this world 879 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:24,200 ownership is the highest form of authority or dominion ownership 880 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,080 and how many people have owned something and you got more 881 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,400 headaches. I mean, Amen. 882 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,760 OK. Have you ever, have you ever, 883 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,120 have you ever looked in the Bible of how much God has he 884 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:42,400 When Adam was in the garden and it was almost like the Father 885 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,040 said, what's mine is yours, even if your name ain't on it. 886 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:56,240 I give you authority as though it's yours without the weight 887 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,480 that I have as the creator of it. 888 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,000 And all we look for is we going to rent or we going to own. 889 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,200 We skip this other Kingdom thing. 890 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,600 Right. We're ambassadors. 891 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:17,960 The power of ambassador is I'm, I'm, I'm merely a representation 892 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,280 of Christ. He created the message. 893 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,640 He owns the message. He just put the message in my 894 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:29,280 mouth to speak it. I don't want to own, I don't 895 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,840 want to be the word. I don't want to own the word. 896 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,840 Too much responsibility for that. 897 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,040 But I will partner with the word and I will speak on the words 898 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,680 behalf. And I will manage the word and I 899 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,080 will guard the word, and I will steward the word and I will 900 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,960 release the word and I will pour in the people that are good 901 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,160 ground for the Word. And I understand that ownership 902 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,640 is not the highest form of authority. 903 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,760 Even a cop is given delegated authority. 904 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:04,000 That's why if they violate a law within their jurisdiction or 905 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,400 within their, their, their, their, their, their little 906 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,040 sphere, they get that badge taken. 907 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,640 And that badge, guess what? When that's taken and their gun 908 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,400 is taken, guess what? They lost authority. 909 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,880 What if God just wants to put something on you and walk you 910 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:27,720 into some places and you become a manager, you become a source 911 01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:33,360 of wisdom. You become someone who billions 912 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:38,440 and billions and billions of dollars in resources find you. 913 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,960 And someone sees something on your life. 914 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:45,520 They see your faithfulness. They they see your change. 915 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,360 They see your integrity. And one day. 916 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,120 And you don't know they've been watching you and they like, boy, 917 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,960 you've been in that garage, you ain't budged. 918 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,000 You can't that garage have caused you to be able to be a 919 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,920 better vision caster. I got all these people with 920 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,040 money around me. They don't know how to cast 921 01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,360 vision at all. They think the money is the 922 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:10,840 vision. I want to start you out of. 923 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,160 I want to bring you in on my team and I want you to begin to 924 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,760 whatever, whatever on you. I want to bring you in so some 925 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:22,480 of that can rub off on my team and I'm going to break you off 926 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,800 this. I just need you a few hours a 927 01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,240 week because you're all so efficient. 928 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,400 I don't, I don't do me, you know, billion I don't do I don't 929 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,120 do nothing past 30 minute meetings. 930 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:38,720 I don't got that kind of time. I'm doing 1010 minute meetings 931 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,640 because it's efficient. Cut the fat off right? 932 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,040 You don't. Understand that that that you 933 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:50,520 know the Boaz sees you walking in purpose and walking in the 934 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,720 fear of God, and all of a sudden you in the field and the 935 01:02:54,720 --> 01:03:04,680 blessing finds you. I believe Matthew 633 seek me 936 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:09,320 first, seek my Kingdom, do things my way, develop habits my 937 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:13,000 way, all these things that you losing sleep over. 938 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,520 Let me tell you something, 2025, you can't afford to make God 939 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:21,760 2nd, 3rd or 4th. No, it ain't no question going 940 01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:23,120 to church and gathering with the Saints. 941 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,720 If God has blessed me with a church home and a pastor and 942 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,080 leaders, I'm going to church. God's blessed me the opportunity 943 01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,000 to serve. I'm going. 944 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,680 I'm going. Not just serve. 945 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:36,120 But I am going to pull on the discipleship. 946 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,080 I can't do this every week without having people that pour 947 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:46,480 into me. You ready? 948 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,440 And it's not their obligation to find me, to pour into me. 949 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,880 I'm the one need pouring. So guess what? 950 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,920 You got to learn to do the principle of pulling. 951 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,880 Yeah, pulling is work. Why? 952 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:08,400 Because the oil costs. Elijah says I ain't going 953 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,920 nowhere. He didn't say, hey, Elijah, when 954 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,200 you get ready to die, holla at me. 955 01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,920 Just I come beat me down the street so I can get that double 956 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,320 Porsche. He said. 957 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,120 No, no, no, I understand To get the double portion, I got to 958 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,560 follow you, but I also got to see you when you go. 959 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,280 Meaning there is an intentionality and an intensity 960 01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:37,360 of how I watch. All right, move right along. 961 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,320 So Potiphar plays Joseph Potiphar had nothing to worry 962 01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,960 about except deciding on what to eat. 963 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:53,320 Ain't that brother was wow that brother was Joseph kept handled 964 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,840 a lot. Now Joseph was strikingly 965 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,560 handsome, very good looking and well built. 966 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,240 Now how many people here can be like that? 967 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:05,840 That sound like me right That sound like me now Now here 968 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,720 here's the crazy part. Some of y'all is like oh this is 969 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,440 not church. Wait a minute, this is in the 970 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,720 scripture. That's in the Bible, right, the 971 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,160 Bible right and that's just what I'm saying. 972 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,640 So if the Bible if if and there's a few people in the 973 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:22,760 Bible talk about David was handsome red hair, strong like 974 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,760 Joseph, like these guys was built back then. 975 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,600 No fried chicken, no air fried. What none of that. 976 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:33,120 These guys was like lean, right healthy. 977 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,800 They didn't they didn't have Nikes and air and zoom. 978 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:42,800 They straight sand, ain't no zoom about them sandals, so they 979 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,800 was grounded. They were one with the earth. 980 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,320 Oh, their toes were like their fingers. 981 01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:01,440 OK, Hallelujah. Come on. 982 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,640 He was there there. There's a reason why when God is 983 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,880 pointing out someone's looks and their physical attributes, let 984 01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:16,280 me tell you something. Yeah, you're beautiful man who 985 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:21,040 much is given, much is required. Your beauty. 986 01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:30,360 Your beauty is is to be a door for God to use. 987 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:35,720 Because there's nothing like beauty that's tamed by 988 01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:41,080 reverence. Right when you could just be 989 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,640 bad, you could just be fine. You could just be like Bob boom, 990 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:49,880 boom, boom. But all of that doesn't get in 991 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,760 the way. Like like like we need that in 992 01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:58,240 the world where where my fine ain't your permission. 993 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,200 And because I smile. Nice. 994 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,520 That ain't a door for you to come talk to me. 995 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,200 Or because I wear a crop top. Fellas, tan yourself. 996 01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:22,880 It's a tank top and it's hot. But dear ladies, yeah, let me 997 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:24,120 keep reading. Let me keep reading. 998 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:32,960 Let me keep reading. I got to pray for me while I be 999 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:34,720 preaching because I can go all kind of ways. 1000 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,280 Amen, right, because I ain't I'm I'm not just built on Bible 1001 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:42,600 school, right? My my eyes, God have brought me 1002 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:49,360 from a mighty long way. These eyes have seen some things 1003 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,520 right. So what you got to understand he 1004 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,960 didn't he didn't be like, now you're going to become holy. 1005 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,240 And what is what is that kind of holy like? 1006 01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,360 Do you know how many priests you ain't never heard testify? 1007 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,040 You just got a collar on me? You about to read me? 1008 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:12,840 Now I can read on my own, right? This real life stuff. 1009 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:14,960 This is real life. And This is why I picked these 1010 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:16,680 scriptures, because it's real life. 1011 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,640 You look good, you handy strong.

You drink your smoothies, body 1015 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:57,029 energy club, you go to the gym. All of that is good unless God 1016 01:08:57,029 --> 01:09:06,279 can't use it because beware of the temptations and and and and 1017 01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:10,399 the side effects of glory.

See Joseph right here ain't just 1173 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:52,400 saying never. Joseph is also breaking 1174 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:59,760 something. Joseph is breaking something. 1175 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:04,400 I, I will not, I will not see there was 3/3 that I don't have 1176 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,720 time to get in this, but Joseph had three robes. 1177 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,160 He had three, 3, three sets of garments. 1178 01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:14,760 The first one was one his dad gave him, and then and then he 1179 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,200 had and then he was given a garment of slave clothes. 1180 01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,960 And then when he got in the palace, then he was when, when, 1181 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,600 when, when, when that season of the, the, the promise and the 1182 01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:31,960 dream become to come to pass.

We're at a place where he has a 1185 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:47,680 robe as a slave and his integrity is being tested. 1186 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,680 Here it is.

And if I had time, we would 1247 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,560 continue to talk about Joseph. And we will see. 1248 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:20,920 No matter if it was the the, the, the pit, the house, prison, 1249 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:26,600 palace, he understood what was on the line. 1250 01:24:28,480 --> 01:24:32,600 And there, every season he went through, he prospered. 1251 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:42,640 People in prison, what's in you is meant to change what's around 1252 01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,400 you. It's not meant to drown you. 1253 01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,880 It's not meant to take you out, though it may. 1254 01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:54,120 Can you imagine how Joseph felt in the pit left by his family, 1255 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:58,760 No one coming to get him to lie? Lie to his dad and say he's 1256 01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,520 dead. Do you know what he felt like 1257 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:05,360 being lied on again? He can't escape being abandoned. 1258 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:09,720 He goes in prison and then someone forgets about him. 1259 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,800 And you got to be OK with people forgetting about you and stay 1260 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:22,560 ready for God calling on you.

So you got to understand this. 1326 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,800 So Saul, David, David is here with his boys. 1327 01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:24,960 He said, Can you believe it? David's men whistle. 1328 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,840 Hey, Can you believe it? You got to watch a circle. 1329 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,160 Can you believe it? This is the day God was talking 1330 01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:33,200 about. You got to watch some friends 1331 01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:37,040 that twist the word for you. This is the day God was talking 1332 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,720 about when he said, I'll put your enemy in your hands, you 1333 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,120 can do whatever you want with him. 1334 01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:45,840 Quiet as a cat, David crept up and cut off a piece of Saul's 1335 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,560 royal robe. Immediately he felt guilty. 1336 01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:53,200 He said to his men, God forbid that I should have done this to 1337 01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,360 my master. God's anointed, God's anointed, 1338 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:58,800 God's anointed, God's anointed. Although he is someone who is 1339 01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:03,160 hating on me, he is still God's anointed that I should so much 1340 01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:06,040 as raise a finger against him. He's God's anointed. 1341 01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:09,120 David held his men in check. With these words and wouldn't 1342 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:10,760 let them. Pounce on salt. 1343 01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:15,280 Yeah, you. You've grown when you tell when 1344 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:18,600 you tell your friends to stop talking about your haters. 1345 01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:24,160 Should have, could have, would have. 1346 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:26,120 But when I. Revere God. 1347 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,760 You can't talk about nobody around me like that, right? 1348 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,160 There's conversations about what's going on and people and 1349 01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:35,080 people that frustrate you. But just to be a trash can, to 1350 01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:40,840 let people dog people to you, You don't Revere God because the 1351 01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,880 same person you are indulging in gossip with, that's God's child, 1352 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:49,800 that you're being entertained by someone talking down about them. 1353 01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:55,520 Saul got up, he left The Cave, went on down the road. 1354 01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,440 Then David stood at the mouth of The Cave and called Saul, my 1355 01:30:58,440 --> 01:31:02,480 master, my king Saul, look back. David fell to his knees and 1356 01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:05,160 David fell to his knees and bowed in reverence. 1357 01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:08,240 He called out. Why do you listen to those who 1358 01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:11,880 say David is out to get you? Why, why, why do you listen to 1359 01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:15,440 those people, Saul, this very day with your very own eyes? 1360 01:31:15,440 --> 01:31:18,120 You have seen that just now in The Cave God put you. 1361 01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:24,720 Put you in my hands, right? Jesus, same thing. 1362 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,080 I knew Judas was about to do this, but I'm going to let him 1363 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:33,160 kiss me, right? I should have let y'all pay for 1364 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,000 your sin. I could have let y'all pay for 1365 01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,080 your sin. I would have. 1366 01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:42,000 But my relationship with God and obeying God was too important. 1367 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,480 My men wanted me to kill you, but I wouldn't do it. 1368 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:49,960 Told them that I won't lift a finger against my master. 1369 01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,680 He's God's anointed. He didn't say I told you I 1370 01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:57,280 wouldn't lift a hand. Although I don't like him, he 1371 01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:58,320 said. I won't lift a hand. 1372 01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:02,320 Because that's God's. I'm not going to touch God's 1373 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:04,520 anointed. Oh, my father, look at this. 1374 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:07,560 Look at this piece that I cut from your robe. 1375 01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,280 I could have cut you and killed you, but I didn't. 1376 01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:16,280 I could have cut you. I maybe should have cut you 1377 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,840 because you are a threat to my promise. 1378 01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:24,080 But I didn't look at the evidence. 1379 01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:28,720 I was this close to you. I'm not against you. 1380 01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,600 I'm no rebel. I haven't sinned against you and 1381 01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:34,560 yet you're hunting me down to kill me. 1382 01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:40,440 He is sitting here face to face with someone who wants to kill 1383 01:32:40,440 --> 01:32:44,200 him. Someone wants to. 1384 01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:49,280 Not just somebody, but someone who needed him and someone who 1385 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,520 has used him. And he is so jealous of him. 1386 01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:56,000 He wants to. Kill him and David catches him 1387 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,760 asleep. He cuts a piece of his garment. 1388 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:03,440 Could have killed him. Without a reverence of God, he 1389 01:33:03,440 --> 01:33:07,760 said vengeance is the Lord's. What does it have to do when you 1390 01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:09,960 have the fear of God? You let God handle your 1391 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,920 vengeance. You don't. 1392 01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:15,200 You don't get caught up in paying people back or having to 1393 01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:17,280 let people know how much they ticked you off. 1394 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,480 I Revere God and the words that are coming out of my mouth, do 1395 01:33:21,480 --> 01:33:25,800 they bring glory to God? It's OK to say you frustrated in 1396 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:33,400 a wholesome, firm way. Davis said Man, I could have 1397 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:34,800 killed. You see the repentance in his 1398 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,840 heart, you see the reverence in his heart. 1399 01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:41,400 He said I didn't kill you because you belong to God. 1400 01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:47,960 See, when you Revere God, you see even the people that hate on 1401 01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:54,680 you as God's children. You see your alcoholic parent as 1402 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:59,080 God's son or daughter, so you still honor them although they 1403 01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:05,080 disgraced you. The the parent that abandoned 1404 01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:07,920 you, you still bring honor to them because you understand 1405 01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:19,930 that's God's child. Peter cuts off a man's ear, 1406 01:34:19,930 --> 01:34:21,170 rightfully so. They fighting. 1407 01:34:22,010 --> 01:34:26,490 We fighting. I mean we fighting, but he was 1408 01:34:26,490 --> 01:34:28,010 talking about this is what we do back then. 1409 01:34:28,410 --> 01:34:30,370 If it was the day he would have shot him in the ear, but he 1410 01:34:30,610 --> 01:34:34,090 sliced him up. What did Jesus do? 1411 01:34:35,050 --> 01:34:38,120 Jesus says to him. He says, you really think I'm 1412 01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:41,400 not going to drink this cup? Here it is. 1413 01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:45,280 I want you guys to see this Jesus. 1414 01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:50,360 So put your sword away, Peter. You so hasty, Peter. 1415 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:55,840 You emotional Peter. Tell you really think I will 1416 01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:59,200 avoid the suffering? You notice this, right? 1417 01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:02,600 He said. Man, we got to get his man his 1418 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:07,560 ear back. Because if, if, if I, if I pay 1419 01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:17,120 him for betraying me, then that's not counted as suffering. 1420 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:22,080 What's counted as suffering is loving those who are hard to 1421 01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:24,880 love. What's counted as suffering? 1422 01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:30,920 Can you wait for recompense? And the recompense is not God 1423 01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:34,040 paying people back. It's him restoring what you 1424 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:39,720 lost. Some of y'all are still waiting 1425 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:44,000 for those who hurt you to understand how much they hurt 1426 01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:52,410 you. Fear the Lord will. 1427 01:35:52,410 --> 01:35:56,610 Free you up at a level of freedom that you've probably 1428 01:35:56,610 --> 01:36:04,050 never experienced in your life. We'll pick back up this week. 1429 01:36:05,570 --> 01:36:08,330 Tuesday we have Pastor Oscar coming from Good News Chapel. 1430 01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:12,480 Wednesday I'll pick up. EJ will pick up. 1431 01:36:12,480 --> 01:36:16,840 Saturday we got 15 people that's going to share 15 minutes, 24 1432 01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:18,720 hours. It's not it's 24 hours. 1433 01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:22,880 It's not normal time. OK, Just let people know this 1434 01:36:22,880 --> 01:37:49,200 week we going in. You don't want to float to you. 1435 01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:53,640 Like I only got 2 hours and that's a lot, or 2 1/2 hours and 1436 01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,320 that's a lot on a Sunday. Awesome. 1437 01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,960 But when the church calls for prayer, church calls for 1438 01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:00,600 fasting, church calls for giving, and you don't 1439 01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:06,320 participate this. Ain't your church because we 1440 01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:13,680 don't do memberships. Let's get free now. 1441 01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:16,880 We don't do memberships, we do family. 1442 01:38:17,480 --> 01:38:19,920 This is a family ship. This is a Kingdom ship. 1443 01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:26,160 People come and go, and those that want to be here, your 1444 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:28,320 spirit will tell you and you will obey. 1445 01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:29,880 This is where I'm supposed to be. 1446 01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,160 It's hard to hear stuff sometimes. 1447 01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:32,320 This is where I'm supposed to be. 1448 01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,600 But he says your treasure where your heart is, your treasure, 1449 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,240 your heart will be. Where your treasure is, your 1450 01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:44,880 treasure will be, your heart is and your treasure is not just 1451 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:50,680 your money, it's your time, it's your talent, it's your 1452 01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:55,560 resources. You got a lot of people who come 1453 01:38:55,560 --> 01:39:01,040 to church for community and you got friends and you, you, you 1454 01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:06,280 like the coffee, you like snacks and muffins and, and you out the 1455 01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:09,440 back door. And then there you go to 1456 01:39:09,440 --> 01:39:11,680 physical relationship. Hey can I set up a wisdom 1457 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:15,560 session because I need help. But if this was your house then 1458 01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:19,320 you would sit under the word and understand every Sunday while 1459 01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:23,200 you think an old service long man the wisdom session shorter. 1460 01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:31,960 If you learn how to listen in here, the wisdom session could 1461 01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:35,360 at least be about something not different. 1462 01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:39,360 But it could be about victory, not about giving up. 1463 01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:46,800 But I do believe there's people in here who honor this house, 1464 01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:51,640 honor the leaders in this house, and want to break the orphan 1465 01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:55,920 spirit, want to stop church hopping, want to stop being all 1466 01:39:55,920 --> 01:40:00,680 over the place, want to stop having a wandering spirit, and 1467 01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:04,120 want to get rooted. I don't know how I got here, but 1468 01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:07,000 you need to make that decision before you get out of January. 1469 01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:11,040 And if Love Quest is not where you want to be rooted, please go 1470 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:13,920 somewhere. It's OK to come and visit, but 1471 01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:19,240 this ain't your church home. That pastor who you call your 1472 01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,960 pastor, he needs you there. If that's where you're called, 1473 01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,920 that church needs you. You got to stop going from place 1474 01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:30,480 to place trying to find messages and experiences that tickle you. 1475 01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,960 You got to get rooted somewhere because there's a voice. 1476 01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,800 There's sonics. There is a word specifically for 1477 01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:40,600 where God is taking you and what God is trying to uproot out of 1478 01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:42,960 you. So although every church should 1479 01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:47,360 be and is preaching the gospel, not every method or form or 1480 01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:51,360 talent OR personality or means of communication is what you 1481 01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:57,000 need based on what God has locked inside of you. 2025 1482 01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:01,600 cannot be the year of wandering. It can't be the year of the 1483 01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,680 orphan spirit. It can't be the year of the pity 1484 01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:08,120 party. This has to be the year of your 1485 01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:12,360 greatest victory, and that's what God has for you. 1486 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:16,640 This is a home, this is a family. 1487 01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:19,800 And if you want to sit on the porch and look through the 1488 01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:24,200 window instead of getting in the house, that's your choice. 1489 01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:33,760 But their strength at the inner courts and what some people call 1490 01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,160 clicky, you're just looking at people that are rooted in a 1491 01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:41,600 different way than you. And there's clickiness in the 1492 01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:42,960 church. You can't never stop that. 1493 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:48,800 We'll do our best, right? At the end of the day, God's put 1494 01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,680 people in your life for you to pull on. 1495 01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:54,640 Same way you go to your sink and put your cup under the water, 1496 01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:59,600 you pull on that faucet. Well, if God has put some water 1497 01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:01,480 in somebody's belly for you, then guess what? 1498 01:42:01,480 --> 01:42:09,400 Pull up and let God use whoever so that one day you could be 1499 01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:13,320 somebody's faucet and they will pull up. 1500 01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:18,800 Father, I want to be like Joseph. 1501 01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:21,680 Never. I want to have the strength, the 1502 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,480 integrity. I want to hold on to the Word, 1503 01:42:24,480 --> 01:42:26,360 and I want to hold on to your friend, no matter how long. 1504 01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:30,920 If it's the pit, if it's up and down, if it's the palace, if 1505 01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:33,800 it's the prison. And then one day my brothers 1506 01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:39,160 come to me after they left me for dead, and now I get to feed 1507 01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:43,840 them. I get to see my nephews. 1508 01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:49,880 I miss my entire family's life because I was abandoned. 1509 01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:54,240 But I was abandoned for purpose. I was abandoned so I could be 1510 01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:55,560 adopted. Hallelujah. 1511 01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:02,240 So God, I even thank you for the moments of abandonment in my 1512 01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:06,280 life because you work everything together for my good. 1513 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:12,960 I thank you, Father, for using my broken moments as moments to 1514 01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:15,360 just be closer to you and to get to know you. 1515 01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:20,760 I really pray, Lord God, that this is a house that truly 1516 01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:26,160 pursues you, that the fire begins to spread and people 1517 01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:30,320 begin to give their worship. May this be a house that doesn't 1518 01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:34,280 have to be instructed to worship, but the moment they 1519 01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,680 come indoors, Lord, God, it's just just a, there's a, there's 1520 01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:41,760 a, there's a, there's a, there's a, a spirit of worship in this 1521 01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:46,800 place on the people. So I look forward, Lord, to more 1522 01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:51,600 hands going up and, and more hands clapping and more knees 1523 01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:57,240 dancing and more feet shuffling. Lord, I look forward to the fire 1524 01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,880 spreading in this place. And Lord, as we approach this 1525 01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:05,280 revival week, may you just deal with people and those that have 1526 01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:08,400 never sacrificed past Sunday. Maybe this week for some people, 1527 01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,520 it's a sacrifice. And then for this week, some 1528 01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:15,840 people it's a it's a lifestyle. When you call out answer, Lord. 1529 01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,560 But I pray, Father, that you confirm Your word this week with 1530 01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:22,760 signs, miracles, and wonders. Yeah. 1531 01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:28,200 Lord, manifest your presence, your may your Shekinah glory be 1532 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:32,480 in this place Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 1533 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:36,360 Saturday and end it Sunday. Lord, may it be the most 1534 01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:38,720 miraculous time we have in your presence. 1535 01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:42,280 May it be a fire that never goes out. 1536 01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:46,760 May something happen this week, Lord God, that will go into the 1537 01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:57,250 next 10 generations in the name of Jesus and we thank you for 1538 01:44:57,250 --> 01:45:00,370 it. We thank you for the skillful 1539 01:45:00,370 --> 01:45:07,200 musicians and worship leaders and singers and all the talent 1540 01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:09,160 you've brought in this house. Thank you. 1541 01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:15,800 And if I can help it, Lord God, we will lay all of that at your 1542 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:21,480 feet and worship you with it. And by your strength and by your 1543 01:45:21,480 --> 01:45:24,600 power. May we run and not get weary. 1544 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:33,480 May we walk and not faint. May we put our wings on and soar 1545 01:45:33,480 --> 01:45:39,760 in this season. I speak prosperity in every area 1546 01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:44,320 over every person in this room. Those that believe it, those 1547 01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,280 that's hungry, those that believe the word, you can lift 1548 01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:49,480 your hands right there as our release in the name of Jesus. 1549 01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:53,240 May God prosper you in every area. 1550 01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:56,320 I'm not believing for healing for you. 1551 01:45:56,320 --> 01:46:00,200 I'm believing for wholeness. That in every area of your life 1552 01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:09,680 you experience wholeness. Get ready, get ready, get ready 1553 01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:18,040 for a year of acceleration, for a year of leveling up, for a 1554 01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:22,480 year that God will prosper you beyond exceeding abundantly 1555 01:46:22,480 --> 01:46:24,240 above all we could ask, think or imagine. 1556 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:31,760 For whoever this is, for a blessing that has just come in 1557 01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:38,320 your life over the last year, I'm telling someone in here, it 1558 01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:42,120 may be a couple people, there's been a significant blessing that 1559 01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,560 can change the trajectory of what you're called to do in the 1560 01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:48,200 marketplace. I am here to let you know. 1561 01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:51,880 And then maybe within the church, I'm here to tell you as 1562 01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:56,680 I stand under the sound or the authority of Jesus Christ, in 1563 01:46:56,680 --> 01:47:01,920 the name of Jesus Christ, what you have been entrusted with is 1564 01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:08,960 only a proving thing. It is only a small opportunity 1565 01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:14,560 so that you can be proved. On the other side of what God 1566 01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:18,680 just has put in your possession is something so much greater. 1567 01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:24,160 Do not settle for where you are, but be content in Him. 1568 01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:29,960 I think it's very important for you to understand this, what 1569 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:35,160 God, the opportunity that God has released in your hands over 1570 01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:42,800 the last year. It is a trial of stewardship 1571 01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:52,680 past this season. You are going to see what God 1572 01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:58,320 has blessed you with over the last year 1 hundredfold in your 1573 01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:04,400 life right now. This is big enough for you and 1574 01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,240 maybe one or two people to manage. 1575 01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:15,040 But what's coming next is going to take full staff and it is 1576 01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:21,960 going to multiply multiple locations, multiple cities. 1577 01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:29,040 As you go, revisit the vision. Write it for the nation, not 1578 01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:33,080 merely for the neighborhood. Think bigger. 1579 01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:39,200 Do not be afraid. God has already put expansion in 1580 01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,480 His predestined plan for your life. 1581 01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,920 You are going to do things that eyes have not seen, ears have 1582 01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:52,400 not heard within your family. No one saw it in your family. 1583 01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:56,280 You don't even have an education to manage what's coming. 1584 01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:03,040 Whoever I'm talking to, you're almost overwhelmed with the 1585 01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:04,880 little that has been entrusted with you. 1586 01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:10,560 But I am telling you, in this season, open your eyes because 1587 01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:12,880 your education will come through relationships. 1588 01:49:14,440 --> 01:49:17,560 Your education will come through some failure. 1589 01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:21,640 But God says there is no punishment for failure. 1590 01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:25,840 There is only education. If you can learn one thing, 1591 01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:31,440 adjust immediately. I will prosper you beyond your 1592 01:49:31,440 --> 01:49:34,080 dreams. I will prosper you beyond your 1593 01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:37,200 years. I will prosper you beyond your 1594 01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:40,400 imagination. I will prosper you because what 1595 01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:45,240 I need to get through you is for generations to come. 1596 01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:49,680 I am releasing a generational plan. 1597 01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:57,560 And for whoever this is, for a part of what hinders your vision 1598 01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:03,520 is you're afraid of death. So you can't see past living 1599 01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:11,120 because the vision that is required of you, Hallelujah, is 1600 01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:13,600 required to see you out the picture. 1601 01:50:24,030 --> 01:50:26,790 The vision is requiring you seeing your grandchildren 1602 01:50:26,790 --> 01:50:33,070 running it. The vision is requiring you 1603 01:50:33,070 --> 01:50:36,680 seeing people. In other lands that speak other 1604 01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:46,480 languages that you do not speak, operating your business, the 1605 01:50:46,480 --> 01:50:49,960 vision that God is giving you, He is taking it to other 1606 01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:53,720 nations. He is taking it to other 1607 01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:56,960 continents. He is taking it to. 1608 01:50:56,960 --> 01:51:05,680 Other provinces the Lord says to whoever you are and you'll know 1609 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:07,440 who you are because it's going to hit your spirit. 1610 01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:15,560 You thought this was something and it easy it easy. 1611 01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,080 It has even come out of some of your mouths. 1612 01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:24,000 Lord, if you don't do nothing else, this is enough. 1613 01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:30,040 God says thank you, but I've called you to more than enough 1614 01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:34,200 because I know this is enough for you. 1615 01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,040 I can entrust you with more than enough. 1616 01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:48,120 Yeah. Over the next five years, there 1617 01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:52,640 will be frustrations. There will be slow financial 1618 01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:57,880 progress, but there will be accelerated infrastructure 1619 01:51:58,480 --> 01:52:03,000 released to you. You're like God, why it's taking 1620 01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:04,680 so long? Because it's not about the 1621 01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:06,680 money, it's the infrastructure for the money. 1622 01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:15,720 God is going to release to use systems that you don't even have 1623 01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:20,800 to apply yet. God is going to give you job 1624 01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:24,360 titles and job descriptions for roles that don't even need to be 1625 01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:25,560 filled yet. Hallelujah. 1626 01:52:29,480 --> 01:52:33,960 Can you spend this next season? And I'm hearing for some of you 1627 01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:38,440 the next season is 6 months. For some of you the next season 1628 01:52:38,440 --> 01:52:41,560 is 15 months. For some of you the next season 1629 01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:45,160 is three years. Can you spend this next season 1630 01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:50,520 allowing me God to pace your progress? 1631 01:52:52,440 --> 01:52:57,400 It will be mundane at times, but I will need you to say no to 1632 01:52:57,400 --> 01:53:02,160 some things and I will also need you to say yes to some things 1633 01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:06,520 that don't make sense. And I will also need you to 1634 01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:14,480 stand still for stretches. I'll say it again for stretches 1635 01:53:14,480 --> 01:53:19,920 and it could be someone watching online for stretches. 1636 01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:26,440 You ready? Because I am growing roots for 1637 01:53:26,440 --> 01:53:39,800 your strategy. Throughout time, lastly, I think 1638 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:49,200 you've been grieving over your poverty and God says. 1639 01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:54,560 Get over it, be free from what you have lacked. 1640 01:53:56,640 --> 01:54:00,800 I will take your lack. And prosper every generation 1641 01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:03,000 after. You in your bloodline. 1642 01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:11,120 There's lessons in your lack that will be fruit for. 1643 01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:22,640 Those to come. If you can hear it, God says 1644 01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:24,800 your lack had. Purpose. 1645 01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:35,320 Now will you let me prosper it? For those that have ears to hear 1646 01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:49,480 before you leave this earth. You will experience the full 1647 01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:56,560 renovation of your. Bloodline you. 1648 01:54:56,560 --> 01:55:04,000 Will see your father sober. You will see your mom saved. 1649 01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:08,760 You will see your brother healed. 1650 01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:13,440 You will see your uncle free from prison. 1651 01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:19,240 Before you leave this earth. You will. 1652 01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:22,320 See the. Full renovation. 1653 01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:30,080 Of your bloodline. You will see your family 1654 01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:40,520 reconciled. You and your mom will have that 1655 01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:45,880 conversation. Your. 1656 01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:49,680 Father will repent to you, daughter, whoever you are. 1657 01:55:53,840 --> 01:55:55,400 Someone. In here you are believing for 1658 01:55:55,400 --> 01:56:00,760 your mother defying. Jesus, I am telling you, in this 1659 01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:08,840 year you will know out of the sound of your mother's mouth she 1660 01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:12,240 is accepted Jesus as. Her Lord and Savior. 1661 01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:20,200 Better get ready because that's lost as she was. 1662 01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:27,000 She will live the rest of her days in a fire that may annoy 1663 01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:32,920 you. She will know Jesus before she 1664 01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:41,680 takes her last breath. That Co worker that you have 1665 01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:44,680 been believing for is coming to Jesus. 1666 01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:50,400 They have some questions. Whoever you are. 1667 01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:52,320 You need to be more patient with them. 1668 01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:57,360 There's something in the way you respond, or they've seen you 1669 01:56:57,360 --> 01:57:02,880 respond, or there's something in how intelligent or knowledgeable 1670 01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:07,600 of Jesus that you have presumed to have that has made them 1671 01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:17,440 afraid to open up. Within the next two months that 1672 01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:19,520 Co worker. Will open up. 1673 01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:26,080 I pray that you have ears to hear and eyes to see and you 1674 01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:28,720 will bring that Co worker right in this building and you will 1675 01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:33,680 say Pastor T Elder John this is the one. 1676 01:57:41,570 --> 01:57:45,970 This week's revival bones are coming back together. 1677 01:57:53,590 --> 01:57:55,510 Lift your hands right where you are, if you don't mind. 1678 01:58:05,750 --> 01:58:07,190 Won't you say, Lord, I'm available? 1679 01:58:13,350 --> 01:58:22,520 Hey Lord, I take the limits off.

In person Monday only prayer 1699 02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:15,720 call. I want to make that clear. 1700 02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:19,800 We will meet in person starting Tuesday. 1701 02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:25,040 Through Sunday. Saturday we enter 24 hour prayer 1702 02:00:26,320 --> 02:00:34,760 and that will start at 122. And as I try and encourage 1703 02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:37,840 people, man, come in the 24 hour prayer. 1704 02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:41,200 I don't know how you did it growing up, but it's not you 1705 02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:45,440 sitting at the altars on the floor talking for 24 hours. 1706 02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:50,080 If you see how we scheduled it, a part of the 24 hours is 2 1707 02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:58,320 services, so. I told you, if you're a person 1708 02:00:58,320 --> 02:00:59,680 that's like. To sleep in the. 1709 02:00:59,680 --> 02:01:03,520 Presence of the Lord. Man, bring your sleeping bag, we 1710 02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:05,280 will make room for sleeping. Bags. 1711 02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:08,880 Like I said, you, you might get here at three, you might stay in 1712 02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:11,760 here till six, you might need an hour to go run some errands. 1713 02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:13,920 You might want to take a nap in your car. 1714 02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:15,240 You might need to go get something to eat. 1715 02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:17,000 You might need to go to a meeting. 1716 02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:21,800 But but that kind of like effort to stay engaged. 1717 02:01:23,240 --> 02:01:25,080 That's the posture God's looking. 1718 02:01:25,080 --> 02:01:26,760 For he's not looking for you to sit. 1719 02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:29,680 Down here. And know how to pray for 24 1720 02:01:29,680 --> 02:01:32,280 hours. He don't want to hear you for 24 1721 02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:37,280 hours. OK, God wants to hold. 1722 02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:40,120 You, he wants to touch you he wants to whisper in your. 1723 02:01:40,120 --> 02:01:41,760 Ears. He wants you to just sit. 1724 02:01:41,760 --> 02:01:47,760 He don't want to say nothing, but I expect every person. 1725 02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:52,600 To come in at some point. But it would be nice to come in 1726 02:01:52,600 --> 02:01:56,120 and just hang out. Let's do it together. 1727 02:01:56,600 --> 02:01:59,040 And maybe you're a super. Clean hygiene. 1728 02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:03,560 Person I am, I'm going. I'm going to leave first of all, 1729 02:02:03,560 --> 02:02:06,120 because I got to prepare a message and I'm going to take a 1730 02:02:06,120 --> 02:02:08,200 shower. So maybe you like I'm going to 1731 02:02:08,200 --> 02:02:11,440 stay all the way to 6:00 AM, but I'm going to run home and shower 1732 02:02:11,440 --> 02:02:13,360 and come back. That is fine. 1733 02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,160 Understand. And if you don't care how you 1734 02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:21,720 smell, then rock out. Just rock out in the back. 1735 02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:23,840 Just don't rock. Rock out on the on this area 1736 02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:29,480 over here. God's doing something. 1737 02:02:29,480 --> 02:02:30,920 Look at your neighbors. Say God's doing something. 1738 02:02:32,520 --> 02:02:34,520 I can see it on you. Come on, tell him I can see it 1739 02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:39,520 on you. I miss you. 1740 02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:43,320 Guys, when I was away so so so much I want to tell you that 1741 02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:47,080 your. Church is special and it is a 1742 02:02:47,080 --> 02:02:49,560 print. There are churches wishing, I've 1743 02:02:49,560 --> 02:02:53,360 heard this out of their mouths, that they had more time to 1744 02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:57,480 encounter Jesus on Sundays. We take it for granted. 1745 02:02:58,520 --> 02:03:00,680 There's a lot of people in. Schools and in. 1746 02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:03,160 Rented places that got to get out. 1747 02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:09,880 Don't take it for. Granted the ability when God 1748 02:03:09,880 --> 02:03:15,080 says I want a. House I'm not called to a 1749 02:03:15,080 --> 02:03:18,680 theater. Don't take it for granted. 1750 02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:24,000 To have a house, you're a special group of people and 1751 02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:27,240 you're called to do super special things and the glory. 1752 02:03:27,240 --> 02:03:28,320 Of the Lord is upon.
