1 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,480 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International 2 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,600 Church Podcast, where we seek to love all nations, equip the 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,560 church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all. 4 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,040 We're super glad you're joining us from whenever and wherever 5 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,760 you're at in the world. Welcome to the family to get 6 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,440 your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,680 some tea, and get ready to receive. 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:40,080 Let's get into it. Today, last week, we started 9 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,520 this this message, but it will be a series over the next like 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,280 month or so. And I, I said this earlier to, 11 00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:53,040 so people can have some context, but my family and I, we're going 12 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,200 to, we're going to be leaving for a month. 13 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,120 We're going to go on a sabbatical. 14 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,040 I used to always think sabbaticals was like for 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,320 depression and you're, you're, you're about to quit and you 16 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,240 need to hear from God and see if you still call to ministry and 17 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,640 all those things. But I also found out, as I was 18 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,800 thinking yesterday, that you could also take a break while 19 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,800 you went in. I think we need more people 20 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,920 taking more breaks while you're winning versus when you're 21 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,880 losing. And so I would just like to say 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,760 that our family's taking a break because Love Quest is winning. 23 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,000 Love Quest is winning. How is love? 24 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,240 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Love Quest is winning. 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,880 And how, how do I know it's winning? 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,840 Fruit souls are being won. Saints are being matured. 27 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,080 Families are being reconciled. The mission is being 28 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,920 accomplished. A lot of times our metrics are 29 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,040 not biblical metrics. We gauge fruit by other things. 30 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,720 But from what I see, people are getting stronger. 31 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,560 I've seen people walk through these doors that are absolutely 32 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,199 different people for the better. Disciples are being made. 33 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880 People's prayer lives are getting stronger. 34 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160 Watch this. The fact that we can leave for a 35 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,200 month says we went in. Yeah. 36 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,760 And I say that last week we started a message. 37 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,240 It was called. Yeah, I know. 38 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,000 I was going to ask you again. Huh. 39 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,920 Huh. Crushed for glory and pressed 40 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,000 for time. OK. 41 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,640 And so I remember, anybody remember last week when we said 42 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:50,120 that God was doing this double thing, right? 43 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,760 We understand there's always pressing and there's always 44 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,440 crushing. There's wine, there's olives, 45 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,080 there is marking and there is stretching. 46 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000 There's a season where God is marking you and then there's a 47 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,920 season where God is stretching you. 48 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,560 The marking is, is, is is developing and presenting you 49 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,360 new identity, right? Stretching. 50 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,360 God is increasing capacity for what he's about to birth in your 51 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,280 life. OK. 52 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,080 And this is very important because we're going to step into 53 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,480 this double, this double season because as we're about to talk 54 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,520 about this today and we talked about last week, there has been 55 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,800 an unusual amount of like normally in the past I have went 56 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,520 through a season. And came out of that thing and I 57 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,840 was like, Yep, I'm out of it, it's over, right? 58 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,040 And you create. Some distance before the next 59 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,120 thing happens, but it seems like. 60 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,240 I don't know if I'm by myself, but it seems like it just 61 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,440 haven't let up. Right, dude, I got like. 6 1/2 62 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,680 people, it seemed like it's been a longer time, right? 63 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640 It's like you might have a low break, but the break is like, 64 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,600 it's like you swimming. You just, that's all you got 65 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,400 time for, right? You celebrate, then it's another 66 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,080 thing you need to brace yourself for. 67 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,400 And I just simply believe that God, the the devil has thrown 68 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,320 his greatest punch. For this season, This season is 69 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:25,680 coming to an end, OK. And there there will be clear 70 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,840 signs that it's to an end. It there will be clear signs 71 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,640 that it's to an end, OK. And so that was that message. 72 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,080 And we are going to, for the first time, I think we're going 73 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:43,720 to have two series going on at the same time, 2 series going on 74 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,680 the same time. I will not be here. 75 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,240 But the people that will preach the word are anointed. 76 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,160 Whoever come up here, I promise you they are anointed. 77 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,920 And you will hear them preach from one of those messages, the 78 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,040 one from last week. And today's message is the labor 79 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,200 room groaning for glory, the labor room of destiny. 80 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,720 Right, It's the labour room. Now. 81 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,520 Now understand, we are not in the waiting room. 82 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,120 We are not driving to the hospital. 83 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,920 This is not a false call. We are in the labour room. 84 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,440 Scapulas, not spatulas, but scapulas are out. 85 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,960 Scalpels, I used to call them scapulas. 86 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Amen. Hallelujah, scalpels are out. 87 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,400 The, the, the instruments, that's what we going to call 88 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,040 them. The medical instruments have 89 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,280 been sanitized. They are out the the the the 90 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:51,600 nurses. Are in and the doctor has his 91 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,480 hands out. I don't know if you know what 92 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,240 that mean, but normally or does he do this? 93 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,640 Does he do this? Not this? 94 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,200 He doesn't do this. OK, my doctor did this, so I 95 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,600 don't know. Maybe he didn't have his 96 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:09,000 license. Right. 97 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,880 He, he is ready for delivery. Heaven is ready to assist you. 98 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,560 Everything is in place. Maturity has taken place. 99 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,680 OK. The only thing left for you to 100 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,920 do is what Push. Last week we talked about 101 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,560 crushing. We talked about the pressing. 102 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,640 We talked about how oil does not come without pressure and wine 103 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,160 does not come without crushing, and purpose does not come 104 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,880 without process. We establish in this truth that 105 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,320 God will allow pressure when He's intending on producing 106 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,280 something precious, right? I, I, I, I don't know about you, 107 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,200 but I think a part of maturing is you stop settling for mana, 108 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,400 you stop settling for treats, you stop settling for sugar. 109 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,120 A part of maturity is you learn how to wait for the God thing, 110 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,200 right? So when God will allow pressure, 111 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,640 it is him intending on birthing something precious. 112 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,120 Somebody say precious right when the baby come out, it is 113 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,480 precious I'm talking about. Listen, this baby is cross eyed, 114 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,240 fresh out the hospital in the cloth, the little wrapped in the 115 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,160 cloth like a burrito ready to be eaten. 116 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,120 Sleep and people walk in the house. 117 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,040 How something that can't talk got me quiet. 118 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,320 The presence of something precious, the presence that was 119 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,360 a the presence of something that was a mystery for nine months 120 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,000 has finally come out and people cannot wait to see this baby. 121 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,480 It finally gets here and the fragility of that the. 122 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:15,120 Fragileness of that child has people on pins and needles. 123 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,000 Watch this Watch this Love quest parents Love quest parents Love 124 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,760 quest parents, Love quest parents. 125 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,560 All the parents real quick, all the parents. 126 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,000 What's her?

Vanelli. 128 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:37,159 Watch this, Watch this, watch this. 129 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:38,480 Where JT at? Where JT at? 130 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,360 Where JT at? He was watching the playoffs. 131 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,919 Hey, man. All right, all right, Watch 132 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:42,840 this. Watch this Watch this. 133 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,440 Watch this at church. Watch this guy's ladies stop. 134 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,040 Letting everybody hold your baby. 135 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040 Watch this. Every leader is not sanitized. 136 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,720 Hallelujah. OK, stop watch this. 137 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,960 You got the parents. My Mama watched who held me 138 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,200 right. My Mama was in the. 139 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,720 Choir. But when I was a little baby, 140 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,840 she wasn't in the choir. You have to guard this thing. 141 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,680 Watch this. You can't let anybody speak into 142 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:21,200 your life when you about to give birth, OK. 143 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,080 And the and the closer you get to birth, the less voices have 144 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,680 access. And so when you don't know you 145 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:32,400 about to give birth, it's a very dangerous thing because you let 146 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,960 anybody speak into your life. When God needs, he has put 147 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,600 midwives around, he put doctors, he's put professional prophetic 148 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,920 folks in your life. I need if I got to give birth to 149 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,760 life, I need only people around me that speak in life. 150 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,960 So God will allow pressure when he's intending. 151 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,560 On producing something precious. Watch this The pressure is meant 152 00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:01,480 to cause you to push. This week you move from the 153 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,280 crushing floor to the labor room because some of you thought the 154 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,880 pressure meant something was ending. 155 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,280 But I believe there had to be a dying for there to be a 156 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,040 birthing. Have you ever noticed that 157 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,400 nobody celebrates con contractions in the moment? 158 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,160 No one enjoys labor pains. Nobody claps during the 159 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,920 pressure. But unlike everybody else, every 160 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,760 mother understands something very powerful about labor pains. 161 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,360 You don't push when something is dying. 162 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,120 You push when something is ready to live. 163 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,480 OK, now I do understand this. I do understand. 164 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,480 This that there are parents or or or families that have pushed 165 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,400 out something that did not live. But prophetically speaking, 166 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,480 heaven is not having you push so something can die. 167 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,800 There is no still. Births in this season, the Lord 168 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,240 is about to push something through you that will radically 169 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,480 change your entire bloodline. So for those that are afraid of 170 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,880 birth and afraid because you have been traumatized by 171 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,120 miscarriage, you've been trauma. I'm talking spiritual as well. 172 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,840 Do not be afraid to push this time your push will not be. 173 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,720 In vain. I'm going to say it again. 174 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,960 Do not be afraid to push. Your push in this season will 175 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,920 not be in vain. I know for some of you in this 176 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,720 room, you have experienced moments in your life where 177 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,760 you've pushed, you've worked hard, you've pushed, you pushed, 178 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720 you pushed, you pushed, you pushed, you pushed you all that 179 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,920 come to a place where, man, what else do I need to do? 180 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,560 What else do I need to show them that I'm ready? 181 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,400 You may have been in that season, but guess what? 182 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,160 God is not trying to push you to show them. 183 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,320 He is trying to push you to reveal Him in. 184 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,680 You to you, this push is not about other people. 185 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,840 This push is about you. And the Lord and what he 186 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,400 promised you before you was formed in your mother's womb. 187 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,360 What God placed in you still has purpose. 188 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,640 Paul says something very interesting. 189 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,840 He looks at suffering very differently. 190 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,120 He. Calls the suffering in the 191 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:53,400 world. He says all creation is in great 192 00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:02,800 expectation, anticipation and waiting for the manifestation of 193 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,320 the sons and daughters of the Most High. 194 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,040 He looks at suffering and he tells us that the suffering that 195 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,320 you're experiences experiencing is only a great anticipation 196 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:22,280 that you cannot articulate. I don't know who I'm talking to, 197 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,360 but there has been unusual pressure, there's been unusual 198 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,160 tension, there's been unusual stretching, unusual warfare, 199 00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,480 unusual emotional weight. And because you did not 200 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,680 understand the. Process. 201 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,880 You thought it was over, but it ain't. 202 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,200 Heaven sent a different message today. 203 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,720 And right when you thought it was over, right when you thought 204 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,160 it was falling apart, I'm here to tell you it is falling 205 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,040 together. Look at your. 206 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,520 Neighbors say it's falling together. 207 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,560 It's falling together. It's. 208 00:13:53,560 --> 00:14:00,640 Falling together. It is falling together, tell 209 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,640 yourself. I am not falling apart, I am 210 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,840 just in labor. Come on, say that to yourself 211 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,400 with some confidence. You are in labor and the devil 212 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,240 has lied to you and made you think that you couldn't handle 213 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,640 it, made you think that you're overwhelmed, made you think that 214 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,120 you're depressed, made you think all these things and maybe 215 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,560 you're just in labor. See, a parent that is carrying a 216 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,520 baby has to watch their mental health because watch this. 217 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,560 The stress you carry is imparted to the baby you carry. 218 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,800 The stress you carry is imparted to the baby that you're 219 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,720 carrying. Watch this. 220 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,520 The drinks you sipping on is going into the baby's 221 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,800 bloodstream. So the words and the people that 222 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,160 speak into your life, it's going into the baby's bloodstream. 223 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,040 Who's. Speaking into your life in this 224 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:04,240 season that you are called to give birth, your prayer life is 225 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,840 shifting, your health is shifting, your family is 226 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,400 shifting, your ministry is shifting, and your future is 227 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,000 shifting. I received that. 228 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,480 For myself for sure, because God is preparing. 229 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,000 To reveal sons and daughters once and for all. 230 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,880 Romans 823. If you could turn there with me. 231 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,000 If you don't have it, we'll put it on the screen for you. 232 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,360 We know that the whole creation has been groaning, as in the 233 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,240 pains of childbirth, right up to this present moment. 234 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:49,040 Boom. Not only so, but we ourselves, 235 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:56,240 who have the first fruits of the spirit, groan inwardly as we 236 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,040 wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our 237 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,200 bodies. Why do you keep fighting? 238 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,280 Why do you keep pressing? Might it be inside of you? 239 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,680 There's something inside of you that says there's more. 240 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,400 Have you ever looked at yourself and be like, this is not me, 241 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,480 this is not it, It is OK. I don't know who you've been 242 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,120 talking to, but it is OK to not be satisfied with where you are. 243 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,600 You can be content in him, but not be satisfied with where you 244 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,720 are based on what he has said you are. 245 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,640 I don't know about you, but I believe, as I said last week, 246 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,040 there are some places and some things that I know should have 247 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,680 been showed up for some people, they're like, oh. 248 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,040 You're you're, you're just you're you're just being selfish 249 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,080 or no. It's in God's timing. 250 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,920 Sometime that's a lame prayer when you put it off on God 251 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,720 because you don't have enough faith to know and believe that 252 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,800 that thing is supposed. Faith is a substance of things 253 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,480 hoped for, and the evidence of things not saying faith is 254 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,800 saying I got it now. So my posture is saying that I'm 255 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,119 supposed to have it now. I got it now. 256 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,240 So I'm going to act like I have it now. 257 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,400 If I'm believing for my healing, if I got faith in my healing, 258 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,359 guess what? I act like I act like I am what 259 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,839 healed. So I might be weak, but I'm 260 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:23,880 going to try to get on the bike for even 2 minutes because I am 261 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,240 telling my faith that I am the healed and not the sick. 262 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,760 I am telling my body what the word of God said. 263 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,600 You have to have a corresponding action to. 264 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:44,040 Your vocabulary, father, help our unbelief. 265 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,320 Creation is groaning for glory. Groaning in this scripture means 266 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:56,880 internal tension. Internal tension. 267 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,480 I know I'm not by myself. There's a restlessness going on, 268 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,800 and you see it throughout humanity. 269 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,680 Whenever we're restless, we get in trouble. 270 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:12,520 We make decisions out of season. We let zeal lead our lives, we 271 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,040 let emotions lead our lives, and we end up in situations that 272 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,480 will get us in trouble or 'cause somebody say it's going to cost 273 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,760 you when you move out of God's timing. 274 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,880 So groaning is also deep yearning. 275 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,920 Groaning is spiritual travail. Groaning is pressure that cannot 276 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,640 be fully articulated. Have you ever just cannot 277 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,080 articulate this moment? Watch this. 278 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,160 I know you didn't bitch your lip when you're mad. 279 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,160 Have you ever bitch your lip when you was believing? 280 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,360 Have. You ever bitch your lip because 281 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:55,800 the enemy has gained some access into your family, into 282 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,200 situations, and to to your finances and to work and you've 283 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,080 been frustrated? Think of the things you get 284 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,080 frustrated about. And think of the things you're 285 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,520 not frustrated about. Maybe some of the things you're 286 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,920 not frustrated about, God is frustrated about. 287 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,800 It's not. God does not care about that. 288 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,520 But the thing you care about is the lesser thing that God cares 289 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,400 about. Creation eagerly awaits here 290 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,000 means this. Strained expectation. 291 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:37,120 Strained expectation. It means neck stretched forward 292 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:41,520 like nosy people, right? But but it's this idea of 293 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,880 something is wooing me forward, something is calling me deeper. 294 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,160 Something has me moving forward to the point where I am nosy 295 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,200 about what God is up to it. What what what Jacob is saying. 296 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,800 I will not let you go until you bless me God. 297 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,720 I will not let you go until I arrive where I'm supposed to 298 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,160 arrive in you next. Stretch forward. 299 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,440 Laborers with birth pains have direction. 300 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,400 You're not just in pain for no reason. 301 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,760 Laborers with birth pains have purpose. 302 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,640 There is a purpose behind these contractions. 303 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,360 Laborers with birth. Pangs have outcome. 304 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,600 Laborers with birth pangs have attached promise to them. 305 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,880 The fact that I am having birth pangs is a sign that a blessing, 306 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:44,760 a promise, is on its way out. Laborers with birth pangs or 307 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:50,640 something's coming to an end. This is a pain that is coming to 308 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,680 an end. This is a pain that has an 309 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,560 expiration date. This is a pain that has a shelf 310 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:03,600 life. It is over very soon after 311 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,240 you've suffered for a what, little while. 312 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,800 Well, this is the old saying, hold on just a little while 313 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:18,240 longer, right? These labor pains means that 314 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:26,760 something is being evicted. These laborers with birth pains 315 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,840 mean there's some pains of separation. 316 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:40,950 Think about when a child, there is a a split moment where that 317 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:47,470 parent is separated from their child because that parent has to 318 00:21:47,470 --> 00:21:51,120 recover. That that parent might have to 319 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:57,240 get stitched back up, but also that child has to be taken to a 320 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,440 space. To be monitored, protected, 321 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,280 vital signs taken. And so you have to understand 322 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,880 that what you're about to birth will cause some separation. 323 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:17,240 What you're about to birth is going to cause some isolation at 324 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,240 times. I want to give you 3 pressure 325 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:27,080 points, 3 pain points, 3 pressure points #1 Pressure is 326 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:33,200 not always an attack. Please write that down because. 327 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,640 You under pressure don't mean it's the devil. 328 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,600 Pressure is not always an attack. 329 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:44,400 Here it is. Some pressure is warfare, but 330 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,560 some pressure is simply transition. 331 00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:55,640 Some pressure is transition. Don't mistake contractions for 332 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,480 contradiction, because contractions don't mean the 333 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,440 promise died. Delivery has begun. 334 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,280 Contractions mean delivery has begun. 335 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,640 I'll say it again, I'll say it again for this Pentecostal 336 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,920 church. I'll say it again for this 337 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,080 Pentecostal church. Delivery has begun. 338 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,080 Delivery has begun. What I'm looking for in here, 339 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,960 watch this. I'm looking for a few people 340 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,880 that will take ownership for the season that God has you in 341 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,880 right. What if you took ownership 342 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,080 instead of being a spectator and a Amen Hallelujah. 343 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,600 I agree good word pastor versus really understand the prophetic 344 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,720 implications of that that when God actually do you know how 345 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,800 many people in this world don't know what season they're in when 346 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,000 God gives you a word, don't don't act like if God told you 347 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,600 what was next, you would act different because right now he. 348 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,840 How you want him to tell you what's next and you, some of you 349 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,960 are struggling with him telling you where you are. 350 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,840 God is clarifying the season you're in. 351 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:15,080 So, so, so, so, so for that Mama who is in labor, there is pain 352 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,080 and there's what excitement. Look, you get. 353 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,440 Vacation, you get. You get. 354 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,680 Time off of work the daddy don't got. 355 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,360 Well, it's different in Canada. Y'all get it? 356 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,880 Y'all get like a year? A year huh? 357 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,080 Sometimes, OK, well, we don't get it. 358 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:43,800 No time in America. No, no time but but if God came 359 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:55,190 and said delivery has begun, son, the pain you've experienced 360 00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:58,910 is not delay. The pain you experience is not 361 00:24:58,910 --> 00:25:01,030 about to take you into a worse season. 362 00:25:02,190 --> 00:25:04,350 The pain you're experiencing is not because you're doing 363 00:25:04,350 --> 00:25:07,430 something wrong. Somebody needs to hear that. 364 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,480 What's up? Your mistake is not while while 365 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,680 you're in pain, Your mistake is your mistake. 366 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,360 That's why we got the blood of Jesus. 367 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:25,240 The pain is ordained, delivery is in session, and what feels 368 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,560 like destruction may actually be divine disruption. 369 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,440 Divine disruption because contract showns. 370 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:40,840 Are the fruit of construction.

You here on earth now. 394 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,440 And sometimes you need pastors and you need a word to say, Hey, 395 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,200 hey, we're in the new dimension now. 396 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,640 You got a ship. You can't do that no more. 397 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,400 You can't pray like that no more. 398 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,320 So we're constantly calling you higher because we're there, 399 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,200 right? You got to mature now. 400 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,760 You, you can't talk like that. You can't sew like that. 401 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,920 You have to rise up. Hello. 402 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,520 We're in a new dimension. You can't hear like that, no? 403 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:48,920 More God is disturbing. What can no longer contain the 404 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,520 next dimension? What feels like pressure or 405 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,600 crushing may actually be progress. 406 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:07,000 What if you are making progress? If I'm playing in the playoffs, 407 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,840 guess what guys? It gets harder. 408 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,640 Watch this if I keep. Winning games and go to the next 409 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,760 round. Guess what guys, it gets harder 410 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,440 and my body is more tired. I don't care how much treatment 411 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,080 you get, it gets harder. Watch this. 412 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,080 The further I go, the harder it gets, the lesser people 413 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,800 standing. So if you still in the fight, 414 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,440 Troy, it might be harder, but when you look back, it's less 415 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,360 people standing. Are we in the conference finals? 416 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,240 Ain't that many. It's not that many teams. 417 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,640 Alive no more. So what if you had the mindset 418 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,560 to understand it is a privilege to carry these birth pangs? 419 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,880 Because I'm a lot further than a lot more people watch this. 420 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,520 And then the pros. You get you, you you. 421 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,560 You get money each round you go to. 422 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,000 On top of your check. So there's bonuses to keep going 423 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,440 round after round. Now I'm trying to talk to some 424 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,320 people who are too hard on themselves. 425 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:24,080 You're here, watch this. What you just experienced has 426 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,440 caused some people to kill themselves. 427 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,920 You lasted another round. Your marriage lasted another 428 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,560 round. What feels like pressure? 429 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,600 Or crushing may actually be progress. 430 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,080 God's making arrangements for arrival. 431 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,800 You've been distanced for disruption. 432 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:57,880 Come on, somebody you You've been distanced for disruption. 433 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:09,440 Watch this this pressure #2 you don't push at the start, you six 434 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,800 weeks.

Been there, done that. 558 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,040 I'm not even talking about mourning like death. 559 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:13,240 Some of you have mourned places you. 560 00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:14,960 You've mourned where you used to live. 561 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,400 You've mourned friends that you used to have. 562 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,120 You've you've mourned things and you've allowed that mourning to. 563 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,400 But watch this.

Because you cannot idolize 568 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,400 mourning. You cannot idolize grief. 569 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,920 What I mean by that, it becomes your excuse. 570 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,800 You cannot idolize your trauma. What do I mean? 571 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,760 It becomes your excuse. Why? 572 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:01,560 God says I'm going to restore and replace for you. 573 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,120 I love that part because he's committed to do it for me, so 574 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,560 that takes the pressure off of me. 575 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,920 All I got to do is what push.

No, I'm not going to throw it 601 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,320 all out. No, I'm not going to do that 602 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,200 right.

Cling on to the Word, open your 628 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,920 mouth, pray. I won't feel offended if you 629 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,000 start praying. I wouldn't feel offended if you 630 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,400 start standing up. I wouldn't feel offended if you 631 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,320 came to the altar and kneeled. This is one of these moments 632 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,200 where the Word is happening. God is doing something. 633 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:16,240 This is not a teaching, this is a releasing and it's for you to 634 00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:20,400 catch it and I encourage you to respond when it hit. 635 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,480 You in your womb. You need to respond. 636 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,280 It's like when I'm when, when, when, when, when our children 637 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,720 kicked and I was around. He did grab my hand. 638 00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:37,720 Keep moving, he kicked. You right, if he was at work all 639 00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:40,280 day, Daddy came home. You go straight to that belly. 640 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,440 Something moving. Watch this when the word hits 641 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,960 your spirit. That's not goosebumps, that's 642 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,000 God. That's heaven kicking inside of 643 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,480 you and watch this. It ain't a time that I seen the 644 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,720 child kick in the womb that the mother ain't walking around like 645 00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:03,120 this. That's kind of. 646 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,320 You get what I'm saying, right? You got, you got to no, no, no. 647 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,920 You got to respond right. You got too many people still 648 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,040 bursting the word. The word hit you in the womb and 649 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,400 you just don't. React you just and then it just. 650 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,600 You look right. You got it. 651 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,440 You have to respond to get the revelation right. 652 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,640 You don't just bring oranges home, you peel them. 653 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,400 So when the word hits your womb, you got to peel it. 654 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,360 You got to bring the layers. Back and you got to sit on it. 655 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:42,520 Miss point #3 Labor requires. Participation Doctors assist, 656 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:50,520 right Doctors assist As much as I was my wife's husband with the 657 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,160 with with the giving birth to children. 658 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,680 I couldn't help so I drove her to the hospital where she gets 659 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,280 help and then you take her there to professionals and there's 660 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,400 people there to help bring it safe. 661 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,520 And sometimes if you're worried husband like what you doing to 662 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,240 the doctor. There are people that are there 663 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,880 to help and watch this. You are not called to push by 664 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,880 yourself. Who are your push partners? 665 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,880 Doctors assist, midwives guide, but the mother still has to do 666 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:28,480 what push. Heaven will partner with you, 667 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:40,830 but Heaven will not push. For you, so maybe you felt like 668 00:44:40,830 --> 00:44:43,870 God is absent. Maybe he was right there 669 00:44:43,870 --> 00:44:49,950 screaming push. He's not going to push for you, 670 00:44:51,110 --> 00:44:54,030 you have to push. And sometime pushing is not 671 00:44:54,030 --> 00:44:59,880 merely about pushing out is also pushing away from because Romans 672 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:04,120 826 says the Holy Spirit does not replace your participation. 673 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:09,760 He comes alongside your burden. You have a burden and he prays 674 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,920 that burden out for you because you don't know how to articulate 675 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,880 it. I said it earlier, you have to 676 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,920 have something to articulate. In order to not be able to 677 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:25,760 articulate it or you just ain't got nothing to say. 678 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,320 That's not you don't know how to articulate. 679 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,360 It's I have something that's going on on the inside of me and 680 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:37,960 I just quite can't explain it. But then the Holy Spirit comes 681 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,880 along and the Holy Spirit begins to pray. 682 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,240 I used to. Hear my grandma like groan in 683 00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:47,000 her prayer time. I'm like, great, you know, kids 684 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,360 be worried. They'd be like grandma, what, 685 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:56,680 you OK and watch this. But I have to stir up a burden. 686 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:06,320 Can I ask every person in here, what are you burdened about if 687 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,560 you're not praying about your burdens? 688 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,240 And I'm not talking about rent, I'm not talking about a, a, a 689 00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:14,640 vacation. I'm not, I'm talking what are 690 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,240 you actually carrying? I'm not talking about your 691 00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:24,600 burden with your desires. I'm not talking about you burden 692 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:30,680 for a spouse. What heavenly thing that you are 693 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:35,440 burdened with do. Do you care that your city don't 694 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:41,760 know Jesus? Do you care that the enemy is 695 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,760 breaking up your family? We care about all these things 696 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:52,160 and we wonder why God's not intervening because God does not 697 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:59,120 waste help. Are you burdened about the city 698 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,840 knowing you? Are you worried about people 699 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,520 being discipled? Are you worried about your 700 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,560 friends losing their mind? What are you burdened about? 701 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,040 Are you worried about that family member that's on their 702 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,320 way to hell and you say you love them and you ain't paused and 703 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,520 stop and talk to them one minute. 704 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,120 Your Mama, your daddy, your uncle, your cousin on the way to 705 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:26,560 HE double L and you come to church all the time and you see 706 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,600 them going to hell and you will not stop with urgency and say 707 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:36,720 Mama this ain't good. What are you burdened with? 708 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,200 And the longer you ignore something that is not of God, as 709 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,360 long as you ignore the burdens, you become lukewarm. 710 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,600 You are lukewarm because you do not care about the burdens that 711 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,280 God has impressed upon you. You are allowing the enemy to 712 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:03,040 manipulate the burdens that God gave you, and now the burden is 713 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:09,440 being perverted. Watch this, it's only after so 714 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:14,760 long that God gives you a burden and you don't use it for his 715 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,000 glory that it becomes used for darkness glory. 716 00:48:25,890 --> 00:48:28,650 No Gee the Lord wanted Saul's passion. 717 00:48:29,610 --> 00:48:32,290 Like don't change the passion, just let's change who you taking 718 00:48:32,290 --> 00:48:36,650 your passion out on. Some of y'all are where you are 719 00:48:36,650 --> 00:48:41,160 simply because you have been given a burden by heaven and you 720 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,400 have allowed your own desire and selfishness to to lead it versus 721 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,800 being obedient at a young age or older age. 722 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,760 It does not matter but if time is out. 723 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,120 For you bombarding heaven about your desires, that's not what 724 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,520 the word says. The the word says seek me first. 725 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,640 The word says delight in me and then I'll give you the desires 726 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,480 of your heart. There is something, Troy, there 727 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,400 is something that happens in my desires. 728 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:18,520 When I put God's Kingdom first, He actually purges and prunes 729 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,360 and matures my desires. And when I put God first, I find 730 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,400 out the things that I idolize don't have me no more. 731 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,680 I don't even want them no more. And the worst thing that you 732 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,640 could do is get something you think you want and a few years 733 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,000 later you don't want to have nothing to do with it. 734 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:41,800 But now you got kids with it. You wanted it so bad and God 735 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:51,600 said go for it. The Holy Spirit does not replace 736 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:58,200 your participation. It's real prayer. 737 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,520 It's not casual conversation with God, right? 738 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,480 When are we going to grow up and actually pray? 739 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,760 You can see it in the room. You can see, you can see it in 740 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,040 the room. And This is why it's important 741 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,640 for people that do have a prayer life to pray out loud in the 742 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,160 church because there's impartation that take place. 743 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,640 Some people, I grew up hearing prayer every day in my 744 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,000 household. Some people don't have never 745 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,680 heard prayer in their home. So whether they like it or not, 746 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,720 if you come to church, you're going to hear us pray because 747 00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:31,600 that's what we do. So you can't be somebody who has 748 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,480 a relationship with God. You know it's faithfulness, but 749 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,080 you're afraid you're in here mumble. 750 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,560 And no, people need to hear you pray because you don't 751 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,280 understand. There's an impartation of 752 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:47,280 prayer. People need to walk in churches 753 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,480 and see a people that's burdened. 754 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,480 Elder John, here's what scares me. 755 00:50:53,480 --> 00:51:02,360 Elder John, this most Christians not burdened for what Christ is 756 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:14,160 burdened about. You can see the activities in 757 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:20,200 churches were casual, like we've lost that old time religion. 758 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,240 Now, they was tripping on some stuff back then, but there was 759 00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:27,920 just something about their they just was burdened. 760 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,840 So what? They was at church for four 761 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,600 hours in one service. They they actually cared about 762 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,280 something. They was tired of slavery. 763 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,080 They was tired of certain things happening. 764 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,040 They were tired of injustice. And so when you're tired of 765 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,920 certain things, you don't turn to the world, you turn to 766 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:49,480 prayer. So no wonder he says the labor 767 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,800 room. This is actually going to be a 768 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,280 series about prayer. You don't push without prayer. 769 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,280 The crushing is to develop intimacy. 770 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,240 It's so people can see God in you. 771 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:15,560 Here's what I know that God is about to revisit what seemed to 772 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,680 die in your hands. He is about to breathe in what 773 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:24,400 seem to be dead places. But I do believe he's speaking 774 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:32,160 to a people that's fed up with the status quo, that that is 775 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:33,920 hungry and thirsty for righteousness. 776 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,760 Because right now, the fastest growing church in the world is 777 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,400 the church that's leaving the local church. 778 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:55,200 The scripture says the very elect will be duped away. 779 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,680 So who's sitting in this room that think you're exempt from 780 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,760 walking away from the church? Watch this. 781 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,600 It is very easy to walk away from the church when most of 782 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:16,600 your burdens concern your life. You wake up every day, What's on 783 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,840 your agenda, your stuff, what you need God to breakthrough for 784 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,760 your life, for your family, your finances, your business, your 785 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:34,540 ideas, your dreams. There are different dimensions. 786 00:53:34,700 --> 00:53:38,660 There are dimensions that only open to people that are willing 787 00:53:38,660 --> 00:53:46,450 to push. And I think this kind of started 788 00:53:46,450 --> 00:53:50,290 a few weeks ago when I realized, man. 789 00:53:50,450 --> 00:53:52,770 We we can kind of be. Passive in our prayer life. 790 00:53:53,810 --> 00:53:57,720 And I'm like, just for example, the building awesome vision 791 00:53:57,720 --> 00:54:01,960 night last week or two weeks ago, two weeks ago about the 792 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,200 building yesterday. I must say to see people out 793 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:11,520 here taking watch this, having a burden to fix their church up, 794 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:17,240 tear all this rubble and begin to tear this wall down over 795 00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:18,600 here. People in this church. 796 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,760 This wasn't a contractor. This was our people in the 797 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,760 church cleaning up. If you go in that alleyway, the 798 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,200 obstruction that was there is down, is being cleaned up. 799 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,200 That's going to be our little, our little, our little social 800 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:30,360 alleyway. When we're done with that 801 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,000 vision, it's going to be super cool, but that's what it takes. 802 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:35,880 People, how much money? How much? 803 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,800 I only only make $5.00 an hour, but how much money we need? 804 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:43,680 OK, I'm about to put that on my vision wall and I'm going to 805 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,480 carry a burden to see us in this building and I am going to say 806 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,240 God, if I got to work overtime, if I got to sell something, 807 00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:56,400 whatever I got to do, I want to see this church burden that's 808 00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,280 bigger than me. You walking around and you 809 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,240 seeing a mother struggling, her father struggling and you can 810 00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:05,800 help them in any kind of way. I don't care if it's giving them 811 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,800 shoes, if it's giving them clothes, if it's giving their 812 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,800 children something, if it's buying the person's meal right 813 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:15,920 behind you. What are you burdened about that 814 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,440 don't got nothing to do with you, but it has everything to do 815 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:25,320 is to reveal Jesus. Because I'm, I'm, I'm here to 816 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:29,120 tell you, yes, you're about to give birth, but what you're 817 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,640 about to give birth to, it's not about you. 818 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:37,400 There comes a time where you give birth like you looking in 819 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,520 the animal Kingdom, man, some of these animals, they had their 820 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:46,480 kids and they'd be like, bye. It's not about you. 821 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:53,560 Whatever God impregnates you with, it is for His glory. 822 00:55:59,110 --> 00:56:05,910 Here's the problem. People leave the labor room too 823 00:56:05,910 --> 00:56:10,430 early. One thing that I can say that I 824 00:56:10,430 --> 00:56:13,470 have learned to do, my wife and I have learned to do in this 825 00:56:13,470 --> 00:56:16,510 season. Have you have you ever been 826 00:56:16,510 --> 00:56:20,480 proud of yourself? No, no, a lot of people. 827 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,600 Don't pause enough to be proud of themselves. 828 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,800 That's major. I don't know if how much I've 829 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,600 ever been proud of myself. But what I am proud about in 830 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:36,080 this season, over the last however many years, 10 years, 15 831 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,200 years, whatever it may have been, is our family. 832 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:49,120 We've learned to push and endure, and there there is 833 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:53,680 something about getting at least stretching past what you've 834 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,960 normally like. Like like like like like. 835 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,640 Make up in your mind. I'm going to see how far I can 836 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,280 push it. The worst that can happen if you 837 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,080 work out hard, you pass. How do you throw up? 838 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,960 But some people are afraid to throw up, so they'll go up to 839 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:22,320 the line and rest versus like, look, guys, if in the last year 840 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:27,960 for for 10 years you got to the line and just in this last six 841 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,200 months you just took one step. Watch this guys. 842 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,960 You looking at man, I'm still stuck over here. 843 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,760 No, you're not. Your momentum is going this way. 844 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:44,080 You are making progress today. You got a foot forward. 845 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,920 All Look, At first I needed help with two feet over the line. 846 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,600 Now all I need to do is lift this one, right? 847 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,480 Watch. It was harder to get this foot 848 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,120 over. This one is a lift. 849 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,440 What if I told you you're right there? 850 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,520 Just lift your foot and step it over. 851 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,360 Your body's already there. Your mind's already there. 852 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,080 Your hope is already there. Can you just can you just lift 853 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,520 it over? I'm prophetically doing this for 854 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:12,960 myself. Lift it over. 855 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,840 Watch this. Some people are afraid to lift 856 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,320 it over because that mean they got to say bye to there. 857 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,480 You got to commit. You got to commit. 858 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,440 But can I get a few people here that's like, I'm going to commit 859 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:32,320 to go that extra step this year. I'm I'm going, I'm going to take 860 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:37,720 that extra step, right? I'm taking that extra step. 861 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:43,240 I'm I'm going to take the extra Rep, I'm going to take the extra 862 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,520 lap. I'm going to say sorry one more 863 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,800 time. I'm going to forgive one more 864 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,280 time. I am not going to. 865 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,680 If I forgave five times this time, I'm going to do it the 866 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,880 sixth time. I'm not going to keep being 867 00:58:54,880 --> 00:59:00,560 stuck at 5. That's all God asked. 868 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,400 Watch this. It's crazy how he said he 869 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,040 ordered our steps, not our leaps. 870 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:15,000 He ordered or he didn't order this if that happens. 871 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,960 And that's what we do a lot. He's like, I ordered your steps. 872 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,840 Sometime they're quick steps, sometime they're longer steps, 873 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,680 but they're steps. But we like to rush and we just, 874 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,920 ah, leap. And God didn't order that leap. 875 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,080 He ordered your step. And I just believe that there 876 00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,280 are people in this. Room that God wants to reignite 877 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:42,280 some things watch this. He's also in the business of 878 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:46,240 bringing people's dreams forth through you because they're 879 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:51,080 gone. Do you know do you do you know 880 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:56,280 do you know Troy and Jasmine? Do you know the dream that you 881 00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:01,560 are living in that your parents rather admit to or not wish they 882 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,840 were living? Do you know the revelation that 883 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,000 you hold? Do you know, do you know the 884 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,720 strength and the faith that you have that your parents, when 885 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,360 they look at you, they're like, man, I wish when I was their 886 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:17,840 age, I was that. Far be proud of yourselves 887 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,680 Natalia W like like John, like Vanelli like you guys. 888 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:27,640 Can we just all with our jacked up selves, just be proud of 889 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,280 yourself for making it one more day, for deciding to come in the 890 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,440 House of God? Do you know what coming into the 891 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:43,040 House of God really means? You've already surpassed. 892 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,320 You've already broken some chains. 893 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,040 You've already interrupted some things. 894 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,760 You've already broken some generational curses. 895 01:00:55,360 --> 01:01:00,480 Can you just say thank you, Lord, for the anointing, for the 896 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:13,360 power to keep going? Is it the bigger burden, the 897 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,960 bigger burden? Just just the bigger burden? 898 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,960 I'm learning. I'm learning to pause and just 899 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:23,960 be like, OK, watch this there. There has to be a moment in the 900 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,320 labor room. You say thank you, Jesus. 901 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:33,400 You can't cuss the whole time. There has to be a moment and you 902 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,800 start seeing the push turn into a praise when the baby when, 903 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,520 when the when the nurses is like I, I see it and watch this. 904 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,200 Watch this watch this you. You are messed up when you hear 905 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:49,120 that baby cry. But watch this the mother 906 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,800 carried and nurtured and protected and pushed to hear the 907 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,800 voice of the newborn. I'm here, lift your hands where 908 01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:01,440 you are. I'm telling you that what's 909 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,400 going to happen within.
