Come on, I'm talking to the 48 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,960 remainers. I'm talking to the stayers. 49 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,320 It it don't matter.

Am I talking to a few people in 58 00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:53,840 here today? Is there anybody here that 59 00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:00,840 actually came to have church? Not just do community right? 60 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,800 I know some of y'all didn't know what to expect coming into this 61 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,800 garage, but let me tell you something. 62 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,360 Any people that do church in a garage, they do church. 63 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,120 OK, you understand what I'm saying because being in this 64 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,760 garage speaks to to the tenacity. 65 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,760 It speaks to the kind of person. It don't matter what it looks 66 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,200 like. I know my God is faithful. 67 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,800 It doesn't matter what it looks like on the outside. 68 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:34,520 I am rich on the inside, clean on the inside, clean on the 69 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,240 outside. Come on, say I'm a finisher. 70 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Failure in your ability is not the end, it's the beginning when 71 00:05:51,880 --> 00:06:01,080 I am weak. He is what you're coming to the 72 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,360 end of yourself because you need more than yourself. 73 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,400 Finishing strong is what we do, but finishing strong is not what 74 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,240 we see often. We're not just getting to the 75 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,320 finish line. We're called to bust through the 76 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:32,400 finishing line like finishing is a call the the the enemy. 77 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,120 Look, do you know how many people find a job, find a 78 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,240 purpose, find a career stack, enjoy whatever benefits the 79 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,560 career brings, get to the sick bed and wish they had more time 80 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:56,040 for purpose? Hebrews 12 tells us to let go of 81 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,480 every encumbrance, not just every weight. 82 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:08,400 And an encumbrance is the good thing that binds you, the good 83 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,440 thing that binds you. We talked about sweet cheeks in 84 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,920 the first service, and sweet cheeks have bound a lot of 85 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,960 people. And if you know what sweet 86 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,880 cheeks are, you've probably been bound by sweet cheeks. 87 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,920 It's that thing that it is benefiting your flesh, but it is 88 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:42,520 binding your new man. I was talking to my son the 89 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,360 other day, man, my son handsome. My son is an athlete. 90 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,840 My son is smart. My son is, is going to do some 91 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,640 great things. My daughter is only. 92 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680 And I said, boy, if I had it like you got it. 93 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,600 We're just having a little, little, little little little 94 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:06,080 banana leaf, a little roti, little little ginger beef, 95 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,240 right? And you ever order something 96 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,720 that you like? Oh, that sound good? 97 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,640 And when they come, you're like, Nah, have some noodles. 98 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,280 Y'all don't know what noodles are? 99 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,080 They got noodles in almost every cuisine. 100 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,960 Noodles say noodles. OK, those are noodles. 101 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,799 OK for those that didn't know, those are noodles. 102 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:46,320 I said son, who said God can't bring you your good thing early? 103 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,600 See here's the mess up. Sometimes God reveals early and 104 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:59,400 then ask us to tie it later and we mad when the good thing went 105 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,280 bad because we tied the good thing up too early. 106 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,160 God is saying, hey here, your deposit, I got you. 107 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,240 I said, son, looks, man, there's thousands of women out there. 108 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,800 There's thousands of men out there. 109 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,960 Yeah, I'm like, all right. There's a lot of people like I 110 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,040 got my soul mate. Well. 111 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,240 I know that may hurt some of y'all feelings that you don't 112 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,240 got a soulmate yet and you'd God didn't just plant one person in 113 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,840 the earth and you just got to spend your life looking for the 114 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,720 one and then one day you're like, I can't find it. 115 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:44,200 So I guess I'm a settle. I said son, Prince, king, juice 116 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,320 and what what we ain't telling our kids is the real power is in 117 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,280 the ability to choose, not the ability to find the one. 118 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,600 Because what I see in the scripture after I when I do 119 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,960 weddings, the Bible says that the two become one. 120 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:18,040 So I'm not a soul mate until we become and this is the problem 121 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,800 when you have sex outside of marriage you become you become 122 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,960 one with something you got to let go. 123 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,160 So you soul tied instead of waiting for soul mate. 124 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,480 And now after you didn't got a few neck ties on you, now you 125 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:48,720 finally choose the One. And then now you and the one got 126 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,520 to deal with other souls that you didn't got tied to. 127 00:10:53,520 --> 00:11:07,000 And then you over there with Sweet Cheeks and you and you 128 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,960 making out with them. And that other name almost came 129 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,880 out your mouth because that other name was in your spirit. 130 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,200 I said, son, brother, you know what's so dope? 131 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:32,720 You end up at that altar ain't touch the thing with the one you 132 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,960 can test drive the rest of your life. 133 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,120 Why we got to test drive me like that's a lemon. 134 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,520 Well, that's a bad car. The world tell you to test drive 135 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,800 live together. First, let's figure out if they 136 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,360 Let's find out what's below the waist. 137 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,080 For what? What's below the waist today? 138 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:07,000 Trust me, it ain't gonna work always. 139 00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:22,040 Can I help you? OK, OK, so I say, son, boy, you 140 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,200 could just trust your dad. Brother, you qualified. 141 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,400 You affirm.

Yeah, they got to be a little 144 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,480 intelligent.

The good fighter. 172 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,600 Finishing Faith Turn your attention towards the video 173 00:15:36,600 --> 00:16:00,080 screen. It looks like it's going to be. 174 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:10,640 She's going to do the double and she's going to 2451. 175 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,440 In this room we have someone who's the best player. 176 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,960 There are a couple of the guys raising him. 177 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,920 Two women raised their hands. One was the coach, one was the 178 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,400 one in the back, right? I was hoping everybody raised 179 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,600 their hand right because guess what? 180 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,280 There's no wrong. You're not wrong to think that 181 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,360 you're the best. Now, are you putting in the 182 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,840 work, the time and are you confident to fail? 183 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,600 That's what we want to see.

If I watch that, if we watch 226 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,920 that again, you'll actually see that the runner that was leading 227 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:20,480 her was not at his maximum speed, but she was at hers. 228 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,960 I don't.

You have to find the people that 261 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,360 are running the race you're called to and keep your eyes on 262 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:40,280 them and keep them close and keep them insight. 263 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,320 Like I got to talk to EJ, I got to, I got to even sometimes the 264 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:49,880 people that we're discipling, although I'm called to go out 265 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:55,160 front, even when I look back, I or to the side, I need to see us 266 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,360 moving together.

I buried a best friend who was 271 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:20,000 shot with a 12 gauge in his back. 15 years old. 272 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,960 You don't want to be a teenager and a pallbearer. 273 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,720 God says who's forgiven much? You you hear you require, but 274 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,960 no, no, no. Who's giving much? 275 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:39,960 Much required, but who's forgiven? 276 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,680 Much? The what? 277 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,240 Love my soul. When you see this shouting, His 278 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,360 praise and His passion, it's because I have a revelation of 279 00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:50,760 how much I've been forgiven. Some of you got the stare 280 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,560 effect. The stare. 281 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,680 You stare because you haven't not yet grasp that your little 282 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,440 stanky self would not be here, nor would you have what you got 283 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,160 if it had not been for the blood of Jesus Christ. 284 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,000 And then we stare at the blessing of somebody yelling at 285 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,280 us saying come on. And then we don't realize the 286 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,120 blessing of the people that got the capacity to come week after 287 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:27,520 week and say come on. And then God gives them more 288 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:34,440 capacity to come back another week and say please come on the 289 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:43,760 blessing to have messengers in your life to beg you people that 290 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,800 represent God's faithfulness to reach you. 291 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,240 He says wisdom, it cries out in the street here. 292 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,280 There's a season for wisdom to cry out on the street. 293 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,840 And he says, but one day you're not going to hear that cry no 294 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,880 more. And then you going to be crying 295 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,240 out for wisdom and wisdom won't respond like you didn't. 296 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,320 I want you to understand that's not God. 297 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,360 You ready? That is not God not responding. 298 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:22,320 That's your silent harvest. That's a harvest. 299 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,000 The non response is a harvest. It's not God. 300 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:34,320 You sold silence. You sold stubbornness, you sowed 301 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,000 pride and then you get a harvest of pride and you like God where 302 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,080 you at? He was like I remember, remember 303 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,840 that Sunday. I was like PT was sweating 304 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,720 bullets and and they prayed and they was all that pet. 305 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,360 That was my passion. I gave them. 306 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,760 I thank God God put urgent people, people that carried 307 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,120 urgency in my life. You know why you yelling? 308 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,520 Well, you some of you don't move when people talking quiet. 309 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,640 But ain't it funny what kind of person that paved the way for 310 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:19,040 Jesus? John the Baptist? 311 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,560 Why Jesus didn't get like some little quiet person? 312 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,480 Just hey guys, the king is coming. 313 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,960 Prepare either way, please. Please prepare the way. 314 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:40,560 No, he was sending warning shots, he says. 315 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,320 There are many out there taking their other paths. 316 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,960 Choosing other goals and trying to get you to go along with 317 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,640 them. But I press on toward the goal 318 00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:00,560 to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ 319 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:08,280 Jesus is calling us forward. When your last breath comes, 320 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:16,280 will you you will you leave footsteps of victory for your 321 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,640 children?

If you took your voice away from 328 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,840 your life, would your life point to Jesus? 329 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,680 If you took the bumper stickers off and threw out all the 330 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:16,720 Christian T-shirts, would your life be a bumper sticker? 331 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:25,040 Finishing leaves trails and traces of evidence to victory. 332 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,320 You know what that Bible is? Trails. 333 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,680 We saw how Abraham did it. Hebrews 12 says look at how 334 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,840 Jesus did it. It will shoot. 335 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,320 This, this, this, this heavenly energy through your veins, this 336 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,160 adrenaline through your veins. When you see how he kept 337 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,160 bouncing back, how he loved his enemies to finish. 338 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:59,120 We have to apply all the principles from sowing to 339 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:05,200 forgiving, loving, getting back up, endurance to finish. 340 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,000 You need all the fruit of the Spirit. 341 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,680 And the fruit of the Spirit has nothing to do with 342 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,040 circumstances, nothing. It's the fruit of the Spirit. 343 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,320 I I, I wish I had some time. I plead with all you guys to go 344 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,520 back this week and listen to this morning's message and if 345 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,120 you have to Fast forward to any part. 346 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,160 Start at the beginning and listen all the way to the end. 347 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,880 But we broke down this thing with Nehemiah and these 348 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,960 attempts. Hey Elder John, this is the part 349 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,760 I don't think people people quite get. 350 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,640 Nehemiah didn't get a prophetic word. 351 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,520 He didn't walk in the gifts of the Spirit. 352 00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:05,080 Nehemiah was actually a man. In politics, oh, Shikaba, let's, 353 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,320 let's, let's go talk a little bit. 354 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,440 Let's can I just chat for just one second? 355 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,520 Let me, let me read, for I lose, lose, lose it. 356 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:21,680 He was a Jew high official at the Persian court. 357 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,960 Nehemiah, this guy we talking about rebuilding the walls. 358 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,760 I looked at this EJ and I said we may look at Nehemiah's work 359 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:46,880 and think it's a priestly duty, but it looks like God got a hold 360 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:53,040 of a King's heart to rebuild the wall. 361 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:09,640 He was a man in high places in the marketplace who had a 362 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:17,000 conviction to rebuild the wall.

That's why a lot of people, 597 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,160 they'll leave something and they'll start off like, whoa, 598 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,560 PT, can we meet So I can just tell you about where I'm where I 599 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,760 come from and where I'm ready to go. 600 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,960 And then we had that meeting. And then you like, Oh my God, 601 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,080 this is what I've been looking for. 602 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,520 I've been praying all my life for a place like this. 603 00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:04,600 Oh my God the music is glorious. Some months go by and it really 604 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,440 start popping when you start serving. 605 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,400 Sometimes some of y'all don't really understand what's serving 606 00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:12,680 you think this like like the YMCA or something you like. 607 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,040 Well, I'm just want to volunteer my time because I just want to 608 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,400 give back to the community. No, this is not the YMCA. 609 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,600 This is not giving back to the community. 610 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,040 This is taking back territory that's been stolen by hell. 611 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,000 Yeah, it it's charitable, but it ain't that kind of charity. 612 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,080 And you start serving, you get a oh, my God, why we be serving so 613 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,440 much?

All of a sudden your dream has 618 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:13,360 become a nightmare and a lot of times the temptation to go back. 619 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:18,880 It's simply because you never realized you was finished. 620 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:28,800 You just left right when I was young and immature. 621 00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:31,760 Yeah, I know. Nobody here has ever done this 622 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:32,560 stuff. That's why I love. 623 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,960 That's why God using me, because I'm the only one who's been 624 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,520 through what I was about, what I'm about to share with you, you 625 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,360 know, maybe. A couple jobs in my life where 626 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:46,280 I'll just like, I'm done. I'm not going in today. 627 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,880 I'm not giving a notice. I noticed myself and I'm telling 628 00:51:50,880 --> 00:52:01,080 my friends, right? I ain't no call, no nothing. 629 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,400 And then you know what I mean? And you call your friends. 630 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,560 Hey, let's go out today. They like, I thought you had to 631 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:11,480 work, girl, I'm done with that. I'm done. 632 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:17,200 They wasn't paying enough work. Nah, but what I didn't realize 633 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:22,040 is because I didn't finish right, I took the same habits 634 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,960 right? Finishing right holds you 635 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:32,080 accountable to start right. What doors? 636 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,320 This is the last message of today and we start our fast 637 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,680 tomorrow. What? 638 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,960 What? What is it that you, if you was 639 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,600 honest with yourself, even if it's painful, you would say 640 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,080 right now, no, God brought me out of that. 641 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,640 I'm still there. But God brought that, see, we 642 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,240 got to pay attention to that moment when you, you know, the 643 00:52:57,240 --> 00:52:59,040 moment when you like, it's over, I'm leaving. 644 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:06,000 And so God gives you the inspiration to transition, but 645 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:11,080 you need the faith to stay. But God saying, hey, let me take 646 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,360 you back to that inspiration. What? 647 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,800 Is it? And when he gave you his 648 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:20,320 confidence to walk away from it. And then weariness. 649 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,920 It happens in marriage. You like what? 650 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,040 We get mad. Let's get married. 651 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,440 No, it's not a slow song, Caleb.

Because I love this fast. 659 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,000 We ain't never did a fast like this. 660 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:09,440 We ain't never did no until no, no, no, no, no, we did until 661 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,600 COVID is over. And once we saw COVID wasn't 662 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:26,230 ending, we stopped the fast. We thought the fat. 663 00:54:26,230 --> 00:54:28,470 We thought Kobe was going to be like, oh, this ain't no we going 664 00:54:28,470 --> 00:54:31,950 fast for the next 35 days. And then we saw COVID was like, 665 00:54:31,950 --> 00:54:33,910 all right, guys, we're done. Order some chicken. 666 00:54:33,910 --> 00:54:35,830 We about to turn this turn up right now. 667 00:54:36,630 --> 00:54:37,950 OK, come on. Listen, listen. 668 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,880 But but at the end, it was just about something. 669 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,880 This is what it was. The focus was about something 670 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:52,360 being over versus US walking into a promise. 671 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:05,320 I'm so excited about this fast because the fast holds us 672 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,600 accountable to see something through. 673 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,200 All right, I gotta bop bop bop bop bop bop. 674 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:30,200 Yep, cool.

Come on, look at your neighbors 678 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:48,440 say we about to get compensated. Listen, listen, listen, listen, 679 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,120 This is this is this is look, look, this is scripture. 680 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:56,720 He said don't fling away your confidence because great 681 00:55:56,720 --> 00:56:00,320 recompense is be not wearing well. 682 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:04,600 You know what I'm saying because in due season, right get 683 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:10,600 compensated for your suffering. That's God's plan is on the 684 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:16,240 other side of your suffering. You reap internally and 685 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:19,240 externally. Come on, somebody say David did. 686 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,720 Look what David said, who was talking to the men standing 687 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:25,280 around him as. What is? 688 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,840 What's? In it for the man. 689 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,200 Come on, somebody say what's in it for me? 690 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,760 Who kills that Philistine and gets rid of this ugly blot of 691 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,760 ends? Israel. 692 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,360 Israel's honor. Listen to what I'm telling you. 693 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:45,240 The Philistine physically in the Old Testament represents the 694 00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:54,080 giants of the land today. The housing market issue is a 695 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,360 giant issue. It's a philistine issue, and 696 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:03,800 This is why the church revival is going to be involved with 697 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,240 affordable housing. How do I know that? 698 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:18,040 Because shelter is a promise and everybody got to come home. 699 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:26,080 So what does that mean? Housing is a net, so when we can 700 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:32,000 own property and be the operators of it, then we can 701 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:38,320 provide programming and love at a rate that's different than the 702 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,400 world, because the church's bottom line is different. 703 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:49,160 We're not under the pressure of having the overhead the world is 704 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,160 because therefore profit all through, through and through, 705 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,640 but because we tithe and we offering and we get a lot of 706 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:03,960 volunteer support. The level in which we can 707 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:13,960 provide what we're anointed to give puts us in a position to be 708 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:19,200 essential at a level that's absolutely mind boggling. 709 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:24,160 That will require the government to look at us and say, hey, 710 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,920 we're going to own this building over here, but we want to give 711 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,200 it to you so you could do your work in it. 712 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:38,360 Do you know how much, how many properties and empty buildings 713 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:43,240 that the government owns? And they will sit on it until 714 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:49,640 they have need for it? We will enter another COVID, 715 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:59,280 mark my word. Will we be essential? 716 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:05,840 What the COVID that just happened was light compared to 717 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:10,120 what's coming down the road. And we go look back and say, oh 718 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:15,040 man, we should have learned that protesting back then ain't the 719 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,400 mission. Fighting each other ain't the 720 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:23,000 mission. God gave us the seven years to 721 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,560 get in position for the seven years of famine and darkness. 722 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:33,520 And there's going to be some churches that just absolutely go 723 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:38,840 out because they didn't take the first one to understand what God 724 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,200 was really saying. The church's responsibility to 725 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:45,480 dark times is you want to understand why it's important 726 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,840 that we finish this building. Finishing this building going to 727 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,960 put us in some rooms. And there's some other little 728 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,960 stuff happened on the side that's going to put us in some 729 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,440 rooms. And God is setting us up to be 730 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:04,000 essential. Finishing validates my scars and 731 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:09,200 brings value to my wounds. My scars on the other side of 732 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:15,840 the finish line are my receipts. My scars don't mean nothing if 733 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:20,960 all my scars did was scar me. A failure is when a person who 734 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:25,600 has failed, fumble, and fallen but haven't been able to cash in 735 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:30,680 on the experience of that failure get compensated for your 736 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:31,840 suffering. Why? 737 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:38,400 Jesus did end with this Hebrews 12 looking away from all that 738 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:43,720 would distract to Jesus, who is the leader are you with me and 739 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:48,840 the source of our faith looking away from all that would 740 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:55,160 distract to who Jesus, who is the what leader and the what 741 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:59,760 source of our faith giving the first incentive for our belief 742 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:06,200 and is also. It's finisher bringing it to 743 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:11,840 maturity and perfection. You ready, He, for the joy? 744 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:21,600 Joy of obtaining the prize? Let me pause and ask you and see 745 01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:28,880 if you see this. Who was the prize for the joy of 746 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,920 obtaining you? He went through the suffering. 747 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,200 He went through the shame that was set before him. 748 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:41,520 Look, he endured the cross, despising and ignoring the 749 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,720 shame. You ready Like Nehemiah said. 750 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,560 He said I can't come down. I'm not talking to shame. 751 01:01:53,280 --> 01:02:01,920 And he's now seated This brother one place he was in pain and 752 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,840 then he they didn't kill him. Y'all know that he gave up his 753 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,120 spirit and the next thing after he gave up his spirit, what did 754 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:16,400 it say he rested after he finished? 755 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,640 He entered rest. Here's another part after he 756 01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,080 finished. He's now seated. 757 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,800 What if I told you rest? Is on the other side of your 758 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:35,960 finish. This next season is only for the 759 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,080 remnant. Might I prophesied to you. 760 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:44,680 This next season is only for the remainders. 761 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,240 This next season is only for the non fainters. 762 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,440 I hope y'all can catch this. The devil can never finish you 763 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,240 because Jesus has finished your story. 764 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,120 I'm going to read it again. The devil can never finish you 765 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:15,600 because it is Jesus that has finished your story. 766 01:03:20,990 --> 01:03:28,790 Revelations told us this latter day blessing and empowerment is 767 01:03:28,790 --> 01:03:32,390 for the remnant. Revelations says this. 768 01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:44,560 Are your ears awake? Listen to the wind words, the 769 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,120 Spirit blowing through the churches. 770 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:54,480 I'm about to call each conqueror to dinner. 771 01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,960 I'm about to. I'm about to call each overcomer 772 01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,800 to dinner. I am about to call each person 773 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:14,320 that is endured to dinner. I'm spreading a banquet of tree 774 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:20,680 of life fruit, a supper plucked from God's. 775 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:36,450 Orchard, this church. Will not be the Church of Loa to 776 01:04:36,450 --> 01:04:42,560 Sia. The Bible warns that church. 777 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:49,800 And I will say, unfortunately, that we live in Loa to see it. 778 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:58,800 We live in the nation where overall the church believers are 779 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,760 lukewarm. And when he says he will spew 780 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,600 you out, it simply means he can't use you. 781 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,400 Loyd Lo Odyssea is a church he warns us about. 782 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,480 It is a type of church that will be in the last days. 783 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:28,200 It is a people that depends on themselves and believe getting 784 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:33,480 ahead monetarily is going to be what they need to get everything 785 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,680 he's provided. I'm here to tell a few of you 786 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,720 that we cannot afford to be lukewarm. 787 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:46,600 You can take this. We cannot afford to be lukewarm. 788 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:55,320 We do not have time when I hand my baton off I. 789 01:05:55,320 --> 01:06:02,880 Want the next generation to be like because my baton is so hot 790 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:09,600 I want to hand off a baton that says I can't drop this one. 791 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:26,760 We do not have time to be fake, lukewarm, excuse making 792 01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,760 believers. Malachi 4 warns us and tells us 793 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,120 that there will be a great separation in the last days. 794 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,920 And I'm here to tell you that great separation is not the 795 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,640 world from the the world from the church, because the world is 796 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:44,120 already separated. It is the church separation, 797 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:54,480 real from fake and I love a God that just draws the line and 798 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,560 make it clear if you want to be lukewarm, here's what you can 799 01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,440 expect. You're unusable. 800 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:06,640 You're only savable. And when you want to stop being 801 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,560 saved and believe you already are. 802 01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,720 And when you going to go from saved to used? 803 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,200 But I do know we serve the guy that only need 300. 804 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,680 He really only needs one. So what I am telling you is what 805 01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:41,400 God's going to do in this country is not if you what I'm 806 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,120 telling you what God is about to do. 807 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,720 He's offering you an opportunity to join him. 808 01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:50,120 And if not? Cool, stay on the sidelines and 809 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:58,480 be a spiritual Leech. Many are called, few are chosen. 810 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,280 That is not an in just statement. 811 01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:05,840 He calls everybody. Only few respond. 812 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,960 The the the next step is not to look at the obstacles. 813 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,000 The next step is to say, God, whatever I got to do, you going 814 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,960 to have to give me strength because I got this in the way. 815 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:22,120 I got this in the way. I'm carrying this and carrying 816 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:23,479 this. Oh, you need me to put this 817 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,880 down, cool. You need me to get help, cool. 818 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:30,120 But whatever I got to do, I will not miss out on this opportunity 819 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,080 I want. To be in that number, I will be 820 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:38,920 in that number. And I'm sorry if we're not 821 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,479 preaching relationship goals for you. 822 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:46,920 And boy, if you could just fall in love with Jesus. 823 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:56,200 Every relationship, finances, yes, we need to be taught in 824 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,800 those things. But man, in this hour the Lord 825 01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:04,920 is calling his sons and daughters home with your hands. 826 01:09:12,510 --> 01:09:16,390 This is not an apology, but just what burns in my soul. 827 01:09:16,390 --> 01:09:21,189 Guys, I just can't help and trust me, it's a burden. 828 01:09:22,279 --> 01:09:32,720 To be on the front lines saying, hey, come, I see this in you, 829 01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,840 God is calling this out of you. It's your time. 830 01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,840 It's your family's time. It's never going to be the right 831 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:45,279 time. The right time is now. 832 01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:50,680 And if all God is asking now is one step, then take one step. 833 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:52,120 That's it. Just take one. 834 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:56,360 You don't need 10. He's not calling you to leap. 835 01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:08,130 He's calling you to step the city, this country, this region 836 01:10:09,770 --> 01:10:20,200 needs clear, clear definition of what it looks to be like. 837 01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:22,800 Here we go. Forget being a Christian, a 838 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,640 follower of Jesus. And there's some of you in here 839 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,240 that need to graduate from being a Christian to a follower. 840 01:10:34,580 --> 01:10:37,620 Obedience is the highest form of love. 841 01:10:39,620 --> 01:10:45,500 It's yes, Lord. He says if you obey me, you love 842 01:10:45,500 --> 01:10:47,780 me. You, you prove your love. 843 01:10:47,780 --> 01:10:51,840 You prove your reverence through allowing me to lead you. 844 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:58,920 After all, I've purchased you as my temple in the earth. 845 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:06,520 So just write where you are. Allow the Holy Spirit to remind 846 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:11,560 you of what's finished. I'm here to tell you, son. 847 01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,400 I'm here to tell you, daughter, it's finished. 848 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,880 I'm even here to tell somebody that needs to hear this. 849 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:23,520 You don't need to be afraid of those old habits. 850 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,560 They are under your feet.
