Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International
Church Podcast where we seek to love all nations, equip the
church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.
We're super glad you're joining us from whenever and wherever
you're at in the world. Welcome to the family to get
your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe
some tea, and get ready to receive.
It's go time. Let's get into it.
You can be seated in the presence of Almighty God today.
I know. I, I know where I'm at in this
walk in this life. I know if if I'm going through
it or if I'm feeling it or if I'm, I know somebody in here
needs a word. I know somebody in here is
battling discouragement. I know somebody in here is
wrestling to hold on to their faith.
I know somebody in here somebody.
If you haven't gotten the news lately, the wind is blowing and
it's blowing strong. Somebody say strong, but still
in yet as the wind is blowing. We learned last week the best
thing you can do when the wind is blowing is do the work.
You're not doing the work as a means of medicine.
You're not doing the work as a means of running.
You're not doing the work making the work an idle.
You're doing the work because the way through the through the
war is doing the work. Although God said the battle's
mine and it's won, He still said you got to show up to the
battlefield. And in a day, I don't have time
to recap the last few weeks. Please go on YouTube if you
will. But in a day of darkness and
calamity that is promised and it's promised it will get
darker. The church should get brighter
or send a bounds where darkness floods light and grace abounds.
The more the Bible warns us of the elect.
US leaders, Saints, the ones who should know better, the ones who
worship God, the ones who know the Bible and read it five times
front to back, the very elect. Someone say elect, it's the
elect. It's the elect that's people
like myself. I'm an elect that's like
somebody like Danny Fuentes. That's you're an elect.
That's that's like Seon. You're an elect that's like you,
you, you get what I'm saying? That's the elect that is people
you look at. It's like, man, they're firm,
they're solid. These are people who because of
them, my faith has become strong.
They encourage me. These are people who prophesied
over you. These are people who met you at
the altar. These are people who got
reverend and Bishop and apostle and pastor and evangelist.
And these are people with major platforms.
These are people with no platforms, but with major
anointing. This is the very elect.
The Bible says the very elect will fall away.
So that means if the elect will fall away, that means if you
ain't elect, you for sure have a higher risk of falling away.
And what makes the difference between the elect and not so
elect? I would just say the frontline
soldiers, the ones. Who?
Vowed to follow Jesus and serve God and do the work of the
ministry it's not just the proper the pastor, teacher, the
evangelist and it it's not just those it's the Saints that come
and set up coffee. It's the ones that set up
children's church. It's the ones that manage the
parking lot, it's the ones who do graphics.
It's the ones who. Play drums.
It's the elect. It's the ones who vow and swear
that God is my source, right? He says the very elect.
There will be a day where there's a great deception.
I don't need to flood the earth anymore.
Deception will kill you, which means that every believer there
is going to be a great pride to make all of us think that we are
exempt from falling away, right? One of I think it's May
Mayweather boxer. It wasn't.
He was just the most powerful hitter, but the brother had
defense. You watch this, he won a lot of
his matches because he frustrated his opponent because
his opponent couldn't land nothing.
See See the enemy. Is going to throw all the
combinations and jabs and he looking for the ones he can be
like BA you took that lie, BA got you doubting yourself, BA
got you sowing discord and you just like and you don't see the
enemy. You you see?
And before you know it, your heart wax cold.
Lord, show me in that scripture, it's not just wax cold towards
Him. We're starting to wax cold
towards each other. So you'll hear stuff like I
don't fool with you, but me and God is cool.
I promise you. There's only so close you can
get to God without being around his body.
So what the enemy? Wants you to think, is you cool
with God? And don't have to be around his
body or you select who you around, select who you trust,
select who you let in versus being around the body parts that
God designed. Here's what I can't do.
I can't take my middle finger. I mean my.
Why did you say middle finger my pinky finger?
Hallelujah, I repent. I can't take my middle finger
and raise it. I can't.
I can't, Hallelujah. I can't.
I can't take my my pinky finger if my toe gets hurt and take my
pinky finger and just put it on my my my my foot and my my pinky
start acting like a baby toe. Although my pinky is the
smallest finger, it will be the biggest.
Toe or at least the longest toe. And the point is, is I don't get
to choose what body parts I want to just move around.
Just like I don't get to choose with sex I am.
I don't get to choose what I don't like about me, get a
plastic version of the version I like and then expect me to love
me. I don't get to move around the
body and tell God, well, I don't like that part there.
Let me take this part and use it here.
God knows if I need a toe versus if I need a palm.
So God will put a elder John in my life because John is elder,
John is toe, but I'm I don't like elder John.
Let me go find this other body part and God's like that body
part in your life is good. But we're in a day and time
where the enemy is. And here's what the Bible.
Jesus doesn't just warn us, but he says in the last day we will
go from teacher after teacher after teacher.
It doesn't mean you will go. Pulpit after pulpit, a teacher
can be your neighbor. The teacher could be somebody
else in the church. In other words, we will try to
find people that will tickle our fannies.
Sorry. Not Fanny, my wife told me.
Not Fanny. Not Fanny.
Sorry.
What is the proper one? Fancy.
There we go. Tickle my fancy.
All right. Nadia.
My Yeah, Fellas, thank God for your wives.
They keep you. Sorry, sorry.
All right, let me just let me just preach this word real
quick. I was preaching, but it's all
good. Yeah.
Thank you for the encouragement. Can you just put up Second
Corinthians 10/3 and then we'll jump into the Word today?
If, if, if I don't preach to nobody today, this Word today is
for me. For though we walk in the flesh,
we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh.
In other words, for those that don't know, we're we don't carry
on our warfare based on how we feel and the natural weapons
that we have. OK, And using mere human
weapons, a human weapon is not just a physical weapon.
A human weapon could also be mere information or knowledge.
That's why you have the spirit of this the the the the gift of
this discerning of spirits, not discerning of information,
right? Because enemy can take
information and build a case. But if I don't have the maturity
to discern the spirit behind the accused or the charge, then I
will find myself building a narrative or something in my
life or in my mind that will then 'cause me to delay, abort
God's plan in my life, but also pull me further away from those
that I'm called to walk with. He does it all the time in
marriage, right? You're married long enough if
you're not careful. You look at your spouse and be
like, what did I? And you start being picky and
you start looking at body parts and you start looking at how
they talk now. And if you're not careful to
always keep what God says about you, the person, the situation,
the city, the the plan, the promise in front of you.
This is why God gives his church prophetic words because
sometimes watch this, the logos or the even the spoken word that
I may have heard the enemy comes to steal that.
But when you steward a prophetic word, it's a it's it.
It has a breath to it, like I'm still going over the word that
was given to us, Estrath Kona, to go back to, to point to where
we are today, to make sure the words that are coming today
aligned with the word he gave the other day.
And from the first time I got a prophetic word that I
understood. I always go back to that when
I'm in today's pressures and problems because I go back to
when the man of God, when I was 12 told me, Terrence, if you
continue to walk with the Lord and do what the Lord has called
you to do, God is going to do big and great things in your
life. Now I want to say, well, what is
big and great? Can you give me a little hint?
But he doesn't know. So then when the enemy is trying
to discourage me and minimize. Then I go back to what God said
when I was 12 to remind me of what he's called me to when I am
it don't it don't matter how old I am.
OK, you don't need to know how old I am.
But when he spoke to me and a lot of people.
Lose track of God's word. But you're satisfied with just
reading Logos, so you're satisfied with reading what he
said about other people, while the whole time not knowing what
he's saying to you today. And if you lose track of what he
says? You will lose the fiber of the
Word. The, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the significance of what He you are meant to grow
into the Word. So every word that God has
spoken to me in 2025 is as important as what He told me in
1980. The words that my Mama told me
or spoke over me, these are words that are important.
The enemy comes to steal the Word.
So keep going. Can you put it back up, please?
2nd Corinthians 10, Watch it. Boom.
OK, we're not carrying on. We're from the flesh using mere
human weapons. Verse 4 Watch it, for the
weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and
blood, but they are mighty. Somebody shout out mighty, they
are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of it
does not say for the managing of strongholds.
It is safe for the behavior modification of a stronghold, it
says, for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds in as
much as we refute arguments in our mind.
What the enemy's trying to tell us, and speak to us, and
discourage us, and pick on us and bully us.
We refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud
and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of
God. Everything that is spoken and
raises itself against what God says about you.
Against what God said is for you.
Against what he says about your family.
Against what he says about your gifts Against what he says about
your church Against what he says about your pastors against It's
a constant against what he says about your wife.
What I told my wife at the altar 20 years later, the enemy is
going to and thoughts are going to get come against what I
agreed. So guess what I got to do?
I have to come against what he's coming what he's saying.
Watch this. But the Bible tells us how
somebody shout out how it says, and we lead every thoughts.
Warfare. You ain't got time.
This is why the Kingdom life ain't boring.
How many thoughts you have a day you can't tell me?
Don't even try to count. Every thought you take it and
you lead it, and every purpose you lead it away captive.
So I got to have authority. Let me back up.
I got to believe in the word because the only weapon I have
against the onslaught of the enemy is the word.
The word, before I put it on what the enemy says or what the
enemy is trying to deny, I have to believe in my heart.
And I got to practice in my life that the word is the last say,
right? Because what he's telling me is
in order watch it, in order to destroy and overthrow A
stronghold, the word has to be the final say in your life, not
just for this situation. Some of us use the word for
certain situations, not for all situations.
So when it comes time to fight these heavenly entities, they
know our name, they know our badge, they know our badge
number, they know if we really walk in authority or not.
Hudson, you say you carry a captive into the obedience of
Christ. The anointing one.
Watch it. If this is a thought, I take it,
I get the word and I put the word on it.
Not my feelings, not my emotions.
The attacks come. Quit comes faithfulness
challenged. Relationships are attacked.
Just do all that by yourself. Watch this.
But when you step on the battlefield after you have cried
and after you, when you step on the battlefield the way you're
going to win this. War is you're going to take.
Every thought and you're going to put the word on it.
So today so I had this word a few weeks ago and I was like, OK
Lord, when when we going to do this one and and so woke up this
morning and he said today and so today we going we going to put
the word and and look, I'm preaching to myself the whole
time. Now if if if if if the word is
for you, please holla back get with it.
But I'm in first first first Samuel 30.
The Bible said David encouraged himself today.
I need to encourage myself. Now we can all benefit.
If everybody encourages themselves, then everybody going
to benefit from you getting encouraged.
But I am telling you as I preach, I'm encouraging myself.
So if I get happy, I might take a praise break because I'm I'm
fighting. OK, this pastor is fighting.
But I know I'm not the only one that needs encouragement.
Watch this we count it all joy when you fall into divers to
watch this. What he's saying is as you are
doing what God has called you to do.
You're doing the best that you could do.
You were on the frontline. The enemy that slapped you
around tried to get you to quit. You didn't you understand, but
you still standing. So most stuff going to come
count it all joy because your faith is on trial.
So let patience have it's perfect work.
What is patience? A fruit of love.
So can I encourage myself today? Today's message is live.
That's it. A word from my deliverer and
king. When this first came to me, it
was in my spirit to just, just just 'cause people like, like
try to encourage people to live and not die.
Like keep going, keep fighting. The Lord is fighting for you.
The the blood of Jesus is for your weaknesses.
The blood of Jesus is for your insufficiencies.
The blood of Jesus is for your mistakes.
The blood of Jesus is for your shortcomings.
If I could do it all and do it perfect and do it well, I would
not need the king. But the blood of Jesus, it's the
blood that goes in pits and caves, right?
It's the blood that that transform A murderer into an
apostle. It's not for the perfect.
The blood is for the misfit, the downtrodden, the castaway, the
blood. And so God said, tell my people
to live. Don't give the spirit of suicide
a second of conversation. Listen to me.
Listen to me with all the commercials about cancer.
What the enemy wants you to do is although they're selling you
medicine, what you really magnify is the sickness, all the
early dying. No, no, no, no, Terence
Richmond, you will live a long life.
So Terrence Richmond and Julia Richmond, I don't care if your
Mama passed from ovarian cancer. It ends now and you will live a
long life. I don't care if your daddy
failed. You will not fail.
You will carry your mantle and you will finish the race and you
will do it strong and you will die in health.
You will not die cause sickness. Sometimes you need to tell your
soul live, right? You got to tell your mind live.
I am telling those thoughts of where I grew up.
We died early or we went to prison.
Where I grew up. I ain't seen a band that looked
like me in my household that if they did live a long time, they
was healthy. People that look like me lose
their memory early. They get cancer and they.
No, no, no, no. Terence Richmond, you shall
live. I don't know who I'm talking to.
You've seen divorce. You've seen failure in ministry.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's what it used to be.
But God is putting a new word in my bloodline and it is live and
not die. I've seen pastors quit because
of the pressure, But Terence Richmond, you will not quit.
You will live and not die. Live.
John 1010 says this. The thief comes only in order to
steal and kill and destroy. I did this.
I fainted out the words there because I wanted to focus.
On the other words, gate. You shall.
The thief comes. Only somebody say only, only,
only. It's just only he.
The enemy can't do nothing. Watch this.
Even if the enemy brings you a blessing, it will add sorrow.
The enemy can't produce life. This is why you got to be
careful of taking his blessings. Watch this.
The devil can bless you. The devil can bless you, but it
will come with sorrow, and it may not come with sorrow right
away. But his setup plan is to kill,
steal and destroy. And he knows if he blows his
cover early, you're too smart for that.
You're too smart for early death.
But if I can get you 10 years down the line, five years down
the line, make an erratic decision now.
Watch this I came, Jesus talk. I came.
No, this is the Savior. This is the gospel.
Yes, there's a thief that comes to kill.
Steal and destroy. But the flip side of that coin
is I came that you may have watch this have.
Somebody need to know this is theirs.
Have and enjoy, not have and barely make it not have and
tolerate. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no. Have and enjoy life and watch
this. Have it secure it look good.
Life is mines. It's it's it's like a little
baby who have their little Binky and their little blank.
No mines. It's mines.
You got to get territorial about your joy.
It's mines. My peace is mines, My love is
mines. You will not take it.
It is mines and have it in abundance.
So it's not barely joy, it's not every now and then joy.
It's joy in every circumstances, peace in every circumstance,
love in every circumstance, strength in every circumstance.
It don't matter. It is stable and true.
You should be like the word. Though people come, though
people go, though people persecute, though people fault.
Fine, I shall not be moved, Joe. He says this though.
You slay me yet will I praise you?
Somebody shout out immovable, right?
I got the immovable in me so why am I so?
Easily moved, the wind blows. Why?
Because it's come to check the foundation.
This is why he gave you Ephesians 4.
He gave you these 5 gifts so you can stop the what?
Wavering. See, see wavering comes.
It's like the enemy could just blow in an idea or a thought and
you, you knocked off your rocker.
You like oh huh. No no no, no.
What did God say that could be true?
But what did God say? Watch this.
True ain't always truth. True.
It ain't always true. Facts trump truth.
Always trump facts. Facts.
You sick? Truth you healed.
Oh, can we hold that tension in our soul?
Here it is here it is here. It is abundance, He said I came
that you can have and enjoy life.
So have life, enjoy life. Have it, secure it, own it, take
possession of it. Watch this ain't ain't no ain't
no little bit ain't no little bit.
Anybody anybody anybody like extra sauce on some some stuff?
Like if I get some extra sauce right?
I don't know. I don't like, I don't like like
dry rub. BBQ is cool, but if I want BBQ,
I want BBQ sauce, right? It ain't BBQ if it ain't if it
ain't saucy. OK, but but sometimes you ask
for extra sauce, right? Look at my boy dope thief.
Y'all y'all watching movies back there?
What y'all doing? All right, Amen.
The thief come to steal, kill and destroy John Lennon the
murder. Without that who who's whose
apple is that? See.
I'll see what y'all be watching. All good.
Hallelujah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're getting excited back there, Hon, That life is rising.
Back up here it is. Abundance.
Watch this to the fool till it overflow.
Stop. Stop being scared of the
overflow. Stop.
Stop being scared of the fool. The abundance, right?
Stop being afraid that you'll you can really have a marriage,
no matter how rocky it's been. Whereas right, right, as as
crazy as your marriage has been, if crazy, if chaos can hit your
marriage, then then abundant joy can hit your marriage, right?
You have to contend for what God says.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I can tell you right now I have AI have I have a lot of
joy. I have a lot of peace.
I'm not overflowing like I'm not overflowing like that, right,
because I don't want to make this scripture about monetary
things. But he's also talking about
monetary things. Watch this.
Have you ever got blessed with enough money to pay all the
bills and hand do a little something something?
Was you upset? No, that that that that that
freedom brought you some joy. And God knows, as long as we're
in this. World there are.
Bible talks about money. Money is not evil.
The love of money is the root of all evil, right?
But the enemy want us to demonize abundance, right?
And and and and then. Therefore we can't help nobody
else, right? I, I, I listen.
No, no, no, no. God didn't call me to mana life.
Mana is in between the blessing. Mana is transitional food.
OK, but it but but but if if most of us are consumers of
people who have generational wealth, so we going to stay
consumers and not be able to be the blessing.
So when dark times come, there's no alternative for the loss but
to go to the world for help. Yeah, if Jesus was it.
Then he didn't need 2 fishing 5 loaves.
He would have said, just look at me.
But Jesus met people's natural needs.
You sick heal you. You hungry feed you.
You, possessed by demons, free you.
Those are natural needs. Jesus met them.
You're depressed. Let.
Me bring you joy you need some water I'm going to go to a woman
with with the well. I'm going to talk about this
natural, this natural what you did.
He he wasn't just hey, no, it was.
Water. You thirsty?
Get something to drink, then I can talk to you.
I can't talk to. You're dehydrated.
You're hallucinating. You need something to drink,
right? I'm not going to be able to
finish the conversation with you.
You're not going to be able to. Hey, hey, hey.
And you like Jesus. If you could just give me some
water, then I could pay attention.
Some of the people in these streets, their way to church is
meeting natural needs and sometimes other religions get a
hold of them first. Why?
Because they're the first to help a natural need to the full
in abundance. Are you Let me read this again.
I feel like some people don't ain't found the joy in this
scripture. The thief comes only to kill,
stealing, destroy. How many people have have been
attacked before? You know that part, right?
You know you know what the thief came to do.
How many people believe for show that's what the thief came to
do. Of course, all you do, but what?
About the next part. Your faith in what the thief
came to do. Why is it for some of you?
Why do you have more faith in part A than you do Part B?
Jesus said I came that you can have and enjoy life and have it
in abundance to the. Full.
Till it overflow. Somebody say overflow?
He did not bring me out of the grave to live average.
Right. Right.
He didn't.
Come on. Come on, Lisa.
He did not bring you out of the grave to live average.
Listen, the day Lazarus came out the grave, he was no longer
average. How you going to be?
Average with such a story as this and can I take, can we just
pause there for a second? Right, right Riveras how y'all
going to be? Don't nobody know the stuff
y'all haven't been through? Y'all walk around here all cute
and nice hair and little, little beautiful little kids.
But don't nobody know the hell you've been through?
Because I'm I'm here to tell you what you've come out of.
The moment you came out of it, you are no longer normal.
You are marked by the supernatural hand of God, right?
So. So no matter how much you try to
deny yo-yo yo-yo supernatural, there is nobody who came from
lost to found, blind to see, poverty to rich.
There ain't nothing average about you.
Come on, look at somebody say I ain't.
Came out the grave to be average.
Yes, Lord, watch this. He didn't start me in the garden
so I can end up in a grave. He didn't start me in the garden
so I can end in the grave. My life, if I'm in the grave
right now, my life ain't over. If I if I'm depressed right now,
my life ain't over. If I'm anxious right now, my
life ain't over. If I am being persecuted and
attacked, my life ain't over. Because it's another side to the
story. The thief came to steal, kill
and destroy. But I've come, we've been made.
Do it for a night, bud. Joy.
There's another side to the story.
And he starred me in the garden so my life can end in the grave.
He he yeah, he did not form me. So my life could never take
shape. When your life going to take
shape? What do I mean?
Take shape into what he promised.
See. See, that's the testimony is
that this thing is finally over. I'm not, I'm not fragmented.
My life has finally come together.
My life has finally taken shape. Everybody with kids, as much as
you want them to stay a kid, you can't wait until they grow out
of stuff, right? You, you, you, you like, I can't
wait till they grow out of that attitude.
I can't wait till they grow out of that, that little sketch of
the dark. And I can't wait till they grow
out of our bed right there. There's he didn't form me, so my
life could never take shape. When, when will you walk in the
fullness and the wholeness that he has carved out for your life?
Come on, speak to your soul, say take shape.
Watch this. He didn't breathe himself and
his Kingdom in me so I can just blend in.
Wait a minute, I got I got AI got a Kingdom inside of me.
Wait a minute, I got a king inside.
I got the resurrected King living in me.
I got the Holy Ghost, the governor of the Kingdom of God,
living in me. I got the Messiah.
Living in me, how could I ever blend in?
How could I ever right? We have watched this.
This was scripture. Say that you have dominion.
Sin conscious wants you to accept average garden conscious
says you have authority. Who's going to choose to walk in
garden realities? When is garden reality is going
to be your reality? Because in the garden he blessed
you. You lack nothing.
You lived in abundance. Your life was full, it was
overflowing. You named the animals.
You had dominion. Come on, come on, say I have
Dominion. Genesis 2 Then the Lord God
formed man. The Lord God formed man.
I just want to point out something real quick.
I want to point out something real quick.
Then the Lord God formed. Somebody say formed.
The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed
into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became
Watch this. He's been forming.
Now he's about to start blowing. OK, watch this, watch this.
We said the wind is blowing. OK, but here's the order of God.
Before he blows, he forms, right?
Watch this. You can build a house all day,
but until breathing beings take residence, it's not a home.
He can form all day and all you would, all Adam would have been
doing is standing there like this or however he made, or
maybe he was laying down. I don't know how he was, but he
was just a vessel. God's been forming.
So when he says the wind is blowing, it's because he's
informing us he's formed. You understand what I'm saying?
Watch this. He's formed a people that he's
now ready to blow in so they can become living being.
He's formed a strategy for you he may have released.
It to you. Or he may have not, but he's
about to breathe life into it, right?
I, I see what you're doing, Andrew.
I see what you're doing, Andrew. I see, I see what I've been,
we've been walking together for a little bit, right?
And you about to do something beautiful in Vancouver, you
understand what I'm saying? But right now?
It's just a thing that's forming in a few weeks.
God's about to breathe life in it.
The the harvest is not what he formed.
The harvest is the life that is blown into what was.
Formed. Right.
And unless there's life in what was formed, there can be nothing
that is reproduced. Watch it.
He put, he put, he put seed in us that can reproduce.
There's seed in the apple, seed in the orange, seed in.
There's seed because in every fruit bearing seed, the seed has
the life in it. If there's no seed, there can be
no more fruit. So God has been forming now
heat. That's why he says seed go on
the ground and it dies. If it holds on to itself, you
don't produce nothing, but if it dies, it produces, right.
Every gift in life and relationship, you have to be
willing to throw it on the ground at God's feet.
If you're still holding on to it, guess what?
You can't multiply, you can't reproduce.
So God is about he's. I don't know what he's been
forming in your life, whether it's been ideas, right?
Watch this. The enemy forms ideas in your
mind. This is why we got to pull down
because we start breathing. That's what Eve did.
She breathed into the thought that Satan planted and then it
took life. If she never gave life to the
seed Satan planted, she wouldn't have never ate from the tree.
He's been forming. It's exciting news.
He's been forming, forming. Now he's about to start blowing.
Watch this, Lord, breathe into my cave.
It's just a short little prayer. Remember I told you I'm
preaching to myself right now. So if you want to say I'm giving
you words for you to put in your mouth, if you don't got a cave
or you don't want them to breathe, that's on you.
But I'm giving you words. But Lord, breathe into my cave.
Lord, breathe, Breathe into my cave.
Lord, breathe into my cave. Watch this, you with me.
You and me ask your neighbor, are you with us?
Watch this. Come on, come on, come on.
Look at your neighbor. Say, say it with me.
Breathe into my cave. Come on, breathe into my cave.
Breathe. Breathe into my cave.
Y'all ready?
Watch this.
Watch this Watch this. I stand in.
I stand silently to listen for the one I love.
Watch this. Waiting as long as it takes for
the Lord to rescue me. I promise.
I want to read this passage really fast, but it's some
really good stuff in here. I stand silently.
Watch this. One of the hardest things to do
when the wind blows is shut up. When the wind is blowing you,
you will be tempted to crash out.
I know I'm talking to a few people right now.
When when the wind blow you, you're going to be tempted.
I'm telling you all what's to come and what probably is when
you, when you, you will be tempted to crash out.
Watch this because patience is is at work.
Faith is on trial. Watch this and love is being
tempted, right? Love ain't love until it's
tested. You know what I'm saying?
Love ain't love until it's tested.
OK, so we homies when it's all good, but but if I go to jail,
you going to come visit me, right?
If I fall, if I fail, are you what are you?
Are you are we here? It is love is tested.
It's it's look, look, look, look, look, look.
I love in our marriage. My wife can be like, you know,
she couldn't used to do this because I used to have to remind
him I'm a grown a man. Don't talk to me like that.
You don't tell me that I need to stop smoking weed.
I'm grown. I could smoke as much as I want
to. What here?
Here's the crazy part. I don't even got to tell her I'm
a grown man now because I'm like really grown now.
Like I really be acting grown. I'm mature now, but I have to
tell her because I wasn't. Showing her.
Yeah, right, right. But but, but there's but, but,
but man, I I love when she just tells me things now and and she
shuts stuff down. I'm like yeah, yes, ma'am.
Like it's good. I love when we like we went
through something the other day and it wasn't even we went
through like we just paused that right.
Sometime it ain't supposed to go through you making you going
through when God said just pause right?
And and and it was just like she was like, look, OK, I'm upset.
So let me tell you how upset I am and then we going to be cool.
So I have to listen to her tell me how upset she was and she was
like telling me and she was getting, you know, every husband
and wife got a face they don't like they spouse make right.
It's that face that make you your walls go up and I'm like,
oh, go no PE don't do it. And you want to say stuff and
you you feel yourself stop listening and getting your
rebuttal ready. And it's just like, no, no, no.
And then, and then. But then she wasn't.
It wasn't even an argument. But because our love has been
battle tested, I'm no longer taking offense.
I've created space for her to share with me.
She's created space for me to share with her.
But watch this. The information does not delay
the growth of our relationship. You're not safe if when you find
out or get irritated or you, it changes your posture towards me,
right? You know how you like some of
you wives want your husband to tell you stuff, yes?
Amen. But then when he tell you stuff,
he already you got faces you like you, you ready?
You're not listening right? It is not.
It is not what you come back with.
It's while I'm talking, you ain't listening.
I'm not mad that you have something to say about what I
said. I'm mad you're not listening.
So I don't care how much you say, hey, it's it's like when
your parents say don't ask. My mom used to be like, don't
ask nobody for nothing, if you need something, come ask me.
I was like, OK, Mama, but then when I ask her, I got to sit
through a lecture and I'm like, Mama, This is why I don't like
asking you nothing right? I'm sorry if you watching mom,
because she'd be watching she'd be watching that.
This is why I don't see see but what a good what my Mama has
done is. She shares what's on her heart,
but she's never switched her posture.
Hart's wax coal attacks posture. But this is what you have to do.
It's what David did. Stand silently to listen for the
one I love, waiting as long. This is the hard part.
Are you standing saying OK God, or are you standing like Lord?
Do what you do. Watch as long as it takes not to
get out, as long as it takes to change.
My name, Oh my God. Some want to, some want to get
out and willing to compromise transformation.
You got to get to a point that as long as it takes for
transformation, I'll stay. If transformation ain't the
exchange of the waiting, I'm not waiting.
But anytime I am waiting on him, transformation is the outcome,
Wisdom is the outcome. Perfecting is the outcome.
God is worth waiting for. Watch this as long as it takes
for the Lord to rescue me, for God alone has become my savior.
Watch this rescue doesn't mean get out of sometime.
He will rescue you by giving you wisdom, and wisdom gives you
patience. For God, some, sometime.
I'm not looking for a way out. I am trying to find for Him a
way in. For God alone has become my
savior. He alone is my safe place.
His wrap around presence always protects me, for He is my
champion defender. There's no risk of failure with
God. So why?
This is a song, Troy. This is a song, Troy.
This is so why would I? That's hook material right
there. So why would I?
I know you want to jump out of this little song, this moment
and start some hip hop. Don't.
Let's stay right here, buddy. I see you little.
I hear you, Little. Right, So why would I let worry
paralyze me even when troubles multiply around me?
Oh, we got to take our time on this, watch this, watch this.
So stand silently as long as it takes.
He alone is my refuge. He alone is my peace.
He alone is my answer. He alone.
Watch this. No risk of failure with God.
He's undefeated champion. So why would I?
Is a question for you today. Why would I let worry paralyze
me even when troubles multiply around me?
Come on, somebody say, let it stack up.
Why would I let worry paralyze me even when it seemed.
Like the I'm still stuck in the battle, but look at these who
want me dead, shouting their This is David, say The Cave.
Somebody say The Cave? Right.
These ain't watch this. The weapons of our warfare are
not carnal. So when I'm about to read this,
we ain't talking about people. David was talking about people,
OK, But I'm talking about these people can be voices.
These people can be your flesh. These people can be people
influenced by other spirits. These people is not merely
people. These people can be thoughts.
These people watch this. These people can be people who
still have a voice in your life but aren't in your life.
But look at these who want me dead, shouting their vicious
threats at me. The moment they discover my
weakness, they all begin plotting to take me down.
Watch this. Look, I don't think Adam would
try to take me down, but if Adam ain't watching his heart and his
soul. The enemy that wants.
Me down because if I go down she go down, my kids go down anybody
right. That's why a Church of pastor
falls. Guess what happens?
It impacts a lot of people. So what you don't realize is the
enemy's after the head, because if he could take off the head,
he could kill the whole body. You understand, right?
So but what we don't have to understand, if our hearts wax
coal, we don't discern spirits. Your, your detector system has
been compromised. You understand what I'm saying?
So the goal is to get you coal. Then when you cold dead, you
can't discern. You don't mean cold towards
Jesus, but cold towards you. The moment we go cold, right, No
moment we cold red. I think it's cold red and
there's something like nothing in cold red.
No moment we what moment we go cold then then what happens in
look, people don't know, but we've been there.
We we've had a few little moments and weeks where we I've
been like you weird bro, and you've been like PT tripping
bro, right. But guess what, we came back
together, man, and every time we closer and we closer and we
closer, right. But what if if someone asks you,
you've allowed perception and all these things that enter your
heart, then it gets cold towards somebody, right?
This is a brother. This is a brother.
Somebody say a brother.
This is a brother not because of skin color, but because of the
Bible tells me so. This is a brother in Christ who
enemy has tried to come between us right the.
Difference is when you see. Me or PJ, closer to certain
people. It's because our relationship
has been battle tested. Some people write this in your
marriages. If you ever want to gain trust,
you have to fight together and get to the other side together.
If you're trying to gain trust, you can't be trying to get right
or be right. You gain trust by overcoming the
enemy together. So an attack on your
relationship? Watch.
This is an assignment. From God I'm.
Going to say it again. I'm going to say it again.
An attack on your relationship is an assignment from God.
What is the assignment? We got to strap call a fast,
let's expose the enemy in the cap and let's come together and
let's come put them under our feet, right?
We got to go from turning this way to walking by each other's
side. Get what I'm saying?
OK. But look at these who want me
dead, shouting these vicious things.
The moment they discover my weaknesses, they all begin
plotting to, to, to, to take me down.
Liars, hypocrites with nothing good to say.
All their energies are spent on moving me from this exalted
place. He says pause in his presence.
I am standing in absolute stillness, silent before the one
I love, waiting as long as it takes.
I'm not reading the first scripture again.
He's just repeating himself. Which means this is very.
This is a. Strategy.
He's giving. I am waiting as long as it takes
for him to rescue me. Only God is my Savior and He
will not fail me, for He alone is my safe place.
His wrap around presence always protects me as my champion
defender. There's no risk of failure with
God. That's verse 5, not verse 1.
So he said he's repeating the whole thing to us.
Watch this. So why would I let worry
paralyze me even when troubles multiply around me?
God's glory is all around me. His wrap around presence is all
I need. For the Lord is my Savior, my
hero, and my life giving strength.
Watch this next word. Trust only in God every moment.
What does every moment mean? Every moment tell him all your
troubles. Watch this and pour out your
heart belongings to him. Believe me when I tell you he
will help you. OK, somebody say that with me,
he will help you. 5 most shy people join me, he will help
you. Pause in his presence, Say LA.
There's comes a season where he say stand still as long as it
take. We waiting on the God
breakthrough this way, this, this way, this way, He says.
He says I'm not letting go until you bless me.
So here's what I understand. The devil know that scripture.
So whenever you're in a wrestle in your life, guess what the
devil start bringing you blessing, right because you said
it. I'm going to wrestle till you
bless. I'm not letting go till you
bless me. So leaving me like, oh, the way
I could get them to stop wrestling is blessing.
How do you determine in these last days when the false prophet
has signs and wonders, great deceit?
How do you determine what's in your hand?
It's not just good, but it's God.
I just thank God, the good news and it's good news for all of us
in here. You can act up as bad as you
want. You can have the devil's goods
in your hands, but God is going to work everything around for
your good. Now what I understand about
that, although God is going to turn it around and this is, this
is to give you good news no matter where you're heading and
no matter what comes in your life and no matter what mistakes
you make it, if you fall and if something happens, God will work
it out. But I will tell you there's a
price that you will and I will pay in that season.
But let me tell you, whatever price you pay, it won't be the
last payment. The Lord will restore you.
This is good news. This is good news, right?
Sometime people just threaten us or or tell us.
The bad side is like, if you don't do this, no, no, no, no.
Do what you really feel God's calling you to do.
Try it out. That's how my faith grew.
I just tried it out. Then I found out I couldn't walk
on water. And then I'm like, OK, get me in
the boat. Get me back in the boat.
Get me back in the boat, right? Don't be a fool and try to try
to try to, you know, don't, don't, don't do it.
Just hop right back in the boat. But this is what the word said.
Thank you God, for the reminder that in this season, He's also
handing us over to our pride. As for you.
Zechariah 9 tells me, As for you also, because of and for the
sake of the covenant of the Lord with His people, which was
sealed with sprinkled covenant blood, I have released and sent
forth. Because of the blood, I have
sent forth your imprisoned people out of the waterless pit.
I have released and sent forth your imprisoned people out of
the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold of
security and prosperity, you prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare that I will restore.
Double watch this your former prosperity.
No, no, no. I'm not double for your.
This ain't double for your trouble.
This is double for your former blessing.
Yeah, it was good. But what?
He said I'm restoring double the progress you made.
And then it was stolen. I'm about to work.
The last progress is about to be.
Doubled. But I want you to see this.
Prisoners of hope. A prisoner of hope never stops
hoping, because hope has them in bondage.
I'm in the shackles of hope. I can't stop hoping.
I can't stop believing. I can't stop seeing the best.
I can't stop fighting for my marriage.
I am a prisoner of hope. All I know how to do is hope
what may come my way. I'm going hope.
I don't care how dark it is. I'm going hope.
I don't care if it's an attack. I'm going hope.
I don't care if I am hopeless. I will hope against my
hopelessness. Come on, sign out.
I choose hope. Tell your neighbor the blessing
of Abraham is upon you. Hallelujah.
We will close on Romans 4 that that famous somebody say famous
that famous promise God gave Abraham that he watch this and
his children. Somebody say he talked about me.
The promise God gave Abraham and his children would possess
Surrey would possess the earth was not given because of
something Abraham did or would do.
This promise wasn't given because of his performance, it
was based on God's decision about him.
Hey, can I tell somebody that God has made a decision about
you? And when God makes a decision
about you, I don't care what decision the devil makes for me.
It cannot overcome the decision that God has made about me.
I have come to declare the verdict is in.
You win. It was.
It was based on God's decision to put everything together.
For God didn't just promise him something, He promised him a
finished plan. God didn't just say, I promise
to set you in Vancouver and then the rest is on you.
No, God says I am sending you to a finished work.
See, here's what it is. The devil only end is
destruction. So whenever I am walking outside
of God's will, there's no finished end of life.
God's end is victory. It's life.
It's to the full in a but this is what John 1010.
It is the finished work of the enemy and the finished work of
Jesus. The finished work of the enemy's
plans is kill still destroy the finished work of Jesus like to
the full and abundance till it overflows based on God's
decision to put everything together for me.
Which Abraham then entered when he believed.
Abraham entered into the finished work when he believed.
Abraham finished into, started or entered.
He entered when he believed. So God has something for you
that you can't enter in until you believe.
The key to the promise is you got to believe and you got to
keep on believing and keep on believing.
Whatever may come your way, you got to keep on believing.
Which Abraham then, if This is why we're encouraging ourselves
today, because our belief is on the line which Abraham then
entered when he believed. If those who get what God gives
them only get it by doing everything they are told to do
and filling out all the right forms properly and signed, that
eliminates personal trust completely and it turns the
promise into a ironclad contract.
That's not a holy promise. That's a business deal, a
contract drawn up by a hard nosed lawyer and with plenty of
fine print. Only make sure that you will
never be able to collect. But if there is no contract in
the 1st place, just simply a promise, can we stop making this
hard and just see it's just a simple promise?
It's a simple promise, and God's promise at that.
You can't break it. This is why I said no matter
what you do, no matter how many times you fall, you can't break
the promise. Watch this, whether you walk in
the promise or not, that's on you.
But you can't break the promise. You can't change the promise.
You can't change God's mind because you never was the reason
he made the promise. He made the promise because he
loves you. He made the promise because he's
committed to you. So whatever you're believing
for, I'm here to give you the verdict.
It is finished. Somebody say you can't break it.
What's this? This is why the fulfillment of
God, God's promise, depends entirely on trusting God and His
way. The fulfillment of God's promise
is entirely bent on me trusting and believing in His way, and
then simply embracing Him and what He does.
Watch this. What God is doing is just as
important as what He's saying. God's promise arrives as a pure
gift, right? And then the world tries to
pervert it. That's the only way.
Everyone can be sure, right? This is how relationships start
off, right? Me and your relationships
started off as they watch this. We don't want to say it this
way, but you was a pure gift to me.
What the enemy tries to do is then pervert the gift of you to
me. So now he shows me you
differently. Now you're no longer pure.
You're no longer God's Son, you're no longer broken person,
you're no longer falling short of the glory.
You no longer just as you and I in desperate need of Jesus.
You're now your mistakes, you're now your insufficiencies.
And the moment I count your sin, I have now tainted you.
Here's how Jesus presents us to God.
As much sin as we have in our lives, the blood has purified us
before the Lord come by somebody say, Lord, give me your eyes.
Watch this. And then simply embracing, watch
this. That's the only way everyone can
be sure. To get in on it, it's to keep
the gift pure. The only way me and my wife can
have a successful relationship that's constantly growing is I
have to keep a pure vision of her.
I have to keep proper perspective of her.
I can't let familiarity sit in. And because then I'll stop being
her husband and I'll start being her coach.
I said those who keep the religious traditions and those
have never heard of them, for Abraham is father of us all.
Somebody say that's my daddy, that's my daddy.
He is not our racial father. That's reading the story
backwards. He is our faith father.
We call Abraham father not because he got God's attention
by living like a St., but because God made something out
of Abraham when he was a nobody. Is it that what we've always
read in scripture? God saying to Abraham, I set you
up as father of many peoples? Abraham was first named father
and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what
only God could do. Watch this raise the dead to
life with a word make something out of nothing.
Another translation. He calls those things that be
not as though they were when you the way you keep it pure is no
matter what call it what God. Called it, see it how God sees
it. God don't see your sin.
He sees the perfection of Jesus when everything was hopeless.
Abraham believed anyway. When everything was hopeless,
Abraham believed anyway, deciding to not watch it,
deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw.
He made somebody say a decision. He made a decision to not live
by what he saw that he couldn't do, but on what God said he
would do, and so he was made father of a multitude of
peoples, God himself said to him.
You're going to have a big family, Abraham.
Abraham didn't focus on his own impotence and say it's hopeless
this 100 year old body could never foul her child.
He didn't naturalize God's supernatural, nor did he survey
Sarah's decades of infertility and give up.
He didn't tiptoe around God's promise, asking cautiously
skeptical questions. You sure?
You. You.
This is very important. He's telling you what real faith
looks like. He lived a life making a
decision to respond. Not just believe, but act like
what God said is for real though.
Act like God's telling the truth, not waiting for proof.
He didn't tiptoe around God's promise, asking cautiously
skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and
came up strong, ready for God. Sure that God, Sure that God,
Sure that God. He plunged into the promise.
Sure that he, he, he didn't, he didn't one leg.
He didn't sit on the edge of the pool.
He plunged into you. You look, You didn't cold plunge
because you put your feet in cold water.
Stop. No, I cold plunged today.
I splashed some cold. No, no, that's not a cold
plunge. You didn't cold plunge because
you bought a cold plunge. That's why I said Abraham was
declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right.
But it's not just Abraham that's.
Good news, he ain't just talking about history, he said.
It's also me, It's also me. Come on, it's also me, come on.
God had made a decision about me.
Abraham was a part of God's plan for me.
The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe
the one who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were
equally hopeless. The sacrifice Jesus made us fit
for God and said. US right with God, somebody
shout out big God do big things. Come on, tell you never big God
do big things. Come on, tell somebody else big
God do big things. Come on, tell somebody else big
God do big things. Come on, say it over yourself.
Big God do big things. Give God a shout about it.
If you believe, come on. Big God do big things.
Big God do big things.
Saving my marriage was a big
thing. Saving my uncle was a big thing.
Saving my children was a big thing.
Big God do big things. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big God do big things.
This will be your confession
this week. Big God do big things.
It don't matter what it looks like.
Big God do big things. My God is big.
So strong, so mighty, my God. Plans for me this Friday night.
We'll be at a place called Gilton Cove.
We'll be doing 3, three sets. Three sets.
That's in Gas Town. Our set starts at 10:00 PM.
I challenge you to get there at 9:30.
It will be aligned and so you can get in or you can stay
outside, but you don't get in until people leave once you
caught that line. So get there on time and it's
going to be a good time. I think it's Thanksgiving
weekend, Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, so it's a holiday.
The streets will be packed and we got a spot in the marketplace
for Friday night. So if you in Vancouver bring
your peoples out, get your babysitters now and come and
have a good time and you know, spend some money too, like like
they, they sell mocktails too and ginger beer.
And for y'all that you do your thing.
It is what it is. Just go and have a good time,
whatever it is. OK?
All things good come from the Lord and we going to have a good
time and we going to shine our light in gas town this week and
Amen. So enough said.
I don't have no announcements. If people want to know what's
going on at the church, they know.
They know we got midweek. And then we'll see you Friday.
But this Wednesday, come out. We had a powerful time
Wednesday, powerful word. And the wind is blowing.
So we need our roots to get deeper.
So Father, we just thank you for your love, your kindness, your
mercy. Lord, we thank you.
No, no, no, no, no thank you. We we thank you, Lord, for
generous givers in this church whose heart is in their giving.
I thank you, Father, for your vision, for love quest, and for
the gifts and that you have sent to this house.
I thank you for your plan, Lord, and as us, as the mere human
vessels, try to hear from a big God, a supernatural God, a God
who owns the heavens. And Lord, just pray that you
help us hear accurately that we learn to be silent and wait on
you. Not be silent in timidity, not
be silent in fear of man, but silent in waiting on You.
More than ever, we need wisdom in this hour.
We need godly wisdom. Lord, I understand that you are
doing things that trump our pride.
You're doing things out of the norm.
You're doing things that don't make sense.
But when I look in, the Bible is full of stuff that don't make
sense. And so, Lord, give us the
patience and the eyes to see and the ears to hear and just trust
you. Lord, may our trust increase in
you and we speak to our soul today.
Don't get weary. Keep fighting the good fight of
faith because due season is here.
Don't faint now you've come to them, speaking to somebody's
soul who got their hands up and is ready to fight the good
fight, the right fight. You've come too far.
Don't stop now. Don't stop loving now.
Don't stop turning the other cheek now.
Don't stop forgiving now. Don't stop prophesying now.
I don't care how long it takes for those dry bones to give.
Get up. Speak to those dry bones.
So we come against weariness. We just thank you, Lord, that
our capacity is in you, in your anointing, it is in your grace.
So we thank you for it now that it's a finished work.
In Jesus name, Amen. You guys have a wonderful
wonderful day. Wonderful wonderful week.
