1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,440 What's going on everybody? You are now listening to the 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,320 Lovequest International Church Sermon Podcast. 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,200 It's a brand new season. Matter of fact, it's homecoming 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,480 season. Sons and daughters are coming 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,480 home. So you know what to do. 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,040 Get your Bible, get your water, get some coffee, get some tea 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,480 and get yourself ready to receive. 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,880 The time is now and if you don't know the drill, then you better 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,360 learn the motto. Did you love things, man? 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,200 Nehemiah 4 I want to give you this little context about 11 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,880 Nehemiah. Nehemiah was not a priest. 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,600 Nehemiah was not a prophet. He was not particularly 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,000 religious. Of the religious order, Nehemiah 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,120 worked for a king, which means what? 15 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,040 He was either government or the marketplace. 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,800 Nehemiah is more like you than pastor. 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,840 So the charge, the battle and the charge the bill is even that 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,440 much more on you, us who sit on that side than on this side. 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,760 So this message tonight is for you. 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,200 No one's disqualified from it, no one's exempt from it. 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,680 It's for everyone, and maybe even more so those that spend 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,840 more time outside the church walls than inside the church 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,560 walls. Secondly, battle and billing is 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,960 about the false choice that people make between one or the 25 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:32,240 other. I don't have time to come to 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,400 church and to serve because I'm doing this in my life. 27 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,120 I don't have time to battle and build. 28 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,280 I ain't got time for it though. I got to give this up. 29 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,120 God is saying in this time you got to learn how to battle and 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,920 build because that's where your protection is, that's where your 31 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,200 blessing is. That's where the power of God 32 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,080 is. That's where your restoration 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,120 is. You can't flip back and forth 34 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,040 each time. Y'all seen the movies when the 35 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,760 when the enemy guy runs out of bullets and then he goes to get 36 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,800 another magazine, another set of bullets. 37 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,480 It's when he runs out of what it takes to battle that he gets 38 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,360 taken out. You can't pause between battle 39 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240 and building in this time because in the midst of your 40 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,480 transition from one to another, that's opportunity for you to be 41 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,280 taken out of your destiny, doubt of God's will for your life, and 42 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,480 if not taken out, definitely to be delayed. 43 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,480 So this message is for you who want to do one or the other. 44 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,600 Who don't want to come to church and get rooted and serve, but 45 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,560 want to spend your time making money and building up where you 46 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,520 need to be over there. Or who want to come to church 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,480 and serve all the time but don't want to take the gospel to where 48 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,160 you live. Don't want to open up your 49 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,920 mouth, don't want to encourage anybody. 50 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,920 Don't want to win souls for for the Lord any place that you go. 51 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,840 OK, in this day we got to do both battle and build. 52 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280 Amen. Next one. 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,800 So we go to the scripture here. It's taken from Nehemiah chapter 54 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,960 4, and from that time forth, half of my service worked at the 55 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280 task and the other half held the Spears, Shields and bowls and 56 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,080 coats of mail. The city is down, Jerusalem is 57 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,040 down. Nehemiah has it on his heart to 58 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000 go rebuild the city because it's the home of his father's. 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,560 His family's buried there and he and he got put it on his heart 60 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560 and he went to his king and said that he worked for. 61 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,120 He said I want to go back and build my city and the king says 62 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,840 I got your back. Whatever you need from me, you 63 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,520 got it. So he's in the process of doing 64 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,040 this now. OK, but this is important where 65 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,320 we pick up at the point we pick up this scripture specifically. 66 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,200 They've built half the wall. You got to learn how to battle 67 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,200 and build, particularly when you've already had some success 68 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,720 doing one or the other. The halfway point is out of time 69 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,520 for you to coast. I'm feeling good. 70 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,840 My my joy is up. I got time to miss church every 71 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,000 two weeks and come only every other week. 72 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,760 I'm just saying. So you have half that worked and 73 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,240 half that killed Spears. That's the battle. 74 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,200 And the bill since gone down the other piece of yellow. 75 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,959 There everyone who worked with one hand. 76 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,120 Everyone worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other 77 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,080 hand. Everyone, Everyone. 78 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,560 It's not the job of the worship team to do your battle and 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,400 building for you. It's not the job of the pastor 80 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,320 of the clergy. Your mama's prayers, your 81 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,920 daddy's prayers, your uncle prayers, your Uncle Ray Ray 82 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,080 prayers, cousin, whoever prayers you two minister, pray. 83 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,960 It's not their job to battle and build for you. 84 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,080 It's everyone's job, everyone's job to battle and build. 85 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,400 Every builder had his sword girded by his side, every and so 86 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,040 worked. That's all of our 87 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,040 responsibilities. It's on all of us, particularly 88 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,040 those of us that are out there in the marketplace, that see the 89 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,600 destruction, that see the broken lives, that see the desperation, 90 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,480 that sees the despair, that sees the fakery, the charades of 91 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,720 happiness on your face, knowing you're crumbling inside and 92 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,600 asking yourself, is there something more? 93 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,200 There's a lot of folks sitting in offices right now. 94 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,880 When you walk past, you see the light on the computer change. 95 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,800 What does that mean? I just closed the window and the 96 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,680 window they just closed is the window that says best way to 97 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,840 kill yourself. And you walk past and they close 98 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,560 because they don't want you to see what's on the inside. 99 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,960 And you say, how's it going, Profits up, margins good. 100 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,680 We're getting all our goals. Engagement is great. 101 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,200 We get a lot of clicks and likes. 102 00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:58,720 You don't know what they're dealing with on the inside. 103 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,560 That's why you got to take it to the marketplace and to the 104 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,880 school place. With students in particular, the 105 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,640 pressure to excel and perform in school is extraordinary. 106 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,120 The verse 19 and I said to the nobles and officials and the 107 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,920 rest of the people, the work is great and scattered go down to 108 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,440 the yellow part or whatever place you hear the sound of the 109 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,920 trumpet rally to us there. So while you're building and 110 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,880 battling or by your battling and building you got to be listening 111 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,320 for what God is saying Now you got to be listening. 112 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,760 So let me give you an idea of what the 40 days is about and 113 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,920 gathering in person. We go through our regular time 114 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,280 battling building, go to church on Sunday at 1 experience and 115 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:40,920 then maybe we double dip to two experiences. 116 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,520 Maybe we go to. Work during the week. 117 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,400 Maybe if we have a Wednesday or midweek experience, we go to 118 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:53,480 that and we're doing that. Back and forth, rally around. 119 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,840 We need to gather up every day for 40 days. 120 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,080 There's a breach in the wall. The enemy's trying to plant 121 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440 something coming this way. When you hear the sound of the 122 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,240 horn rally together, come run to the sound of the horn that we 123 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,600 may stand together in the breach and overcome the enemy that's 124 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,640 trying to attack us. That's what the 40 days of 125 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,360 prayer and fasting is about. The in person gathering is 126 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,160 about. It's the sound of the horn. 127 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,440 So you can't just even get comfortable with doing your 128 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Sunday and then doing your Wednesday and doing your work 129 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920 the rest of the week. You got to be listening for the 130 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,080 sound of the horn. So the title that I want to 131 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,600 speak to you is Building Battle. Now the word is battle and 132 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,400 build. Is there a difference? 133 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,080 Just I want to start here and get there. 134 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,040 OK? Build and battle. 135 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,840 You have to understand that it's a family affair. 136 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,880 The purpose of it is to build by 4 and through your bloodline. 137 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,680 Building and battling is a family affair. 138 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,800 It's by 4 and through your bloodline everyone say bye. 139 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,320 Y'all got to speak faster because I'm on the clock. 140 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,840 You gotta have give me energy. I can't talk. 141 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,680 Stop and energy you for the second one. 142 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,000 OK. Ready. 143 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,280 It's by for and through your bloodline. 144 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400 My bloodline. Thank you very much. 145 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Newton Nehemiah 328 says this and above the horse gates. 146 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,840 This is Nehemiah as he's in the city building the the walls and 147 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,480 the gates above the horse keep. The priests repaired, everyone 148 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,679 opposite his own house. The work you have to do in and 149 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,160 around your house is what's going to be most important for 150 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,720 this phase. It's great you want to battle 151 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,120 and build overseas on a mission. It's great you want to battle 152 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,720 and build. I'm going to come help you with 153 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,280 your with your stuff. What about what's in front of 154 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,680 your house? It's your ability to battle and 155 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,080 build what's in front of your house that's gonna make a 156 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,240 difference in getting this wall up, he says. 157 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,600 In verse 13, he says So I set armed men behind the wall in 158 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,360 places where it was least protected. 159 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,280 I even thus use the people as families with their swords and 160 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,280 Spears and bowls. It's a family affair. 161 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,040 You can't quit on your bloodline 'cause it's a family affair. 162 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,480 The battling and building is first and foremost to bring your 163 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,400 bloodline through, but I also recognize this, he says. 164 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:34,800 I use the people as families. When you come to this local 165 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,800 church community, whether you have nobody or bunch of bodies, 166 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:47,000 God can use you and us as a family if you let on, because 167 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,080 the power in battling and building comes through the 168 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,160 family. Remember the Lord, it says, and 169 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,400 imprint him. Get him on your mind in a way. 170 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,760 We can't be removed, right? How many y'all like tattoos, 171 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,480 body art? OK, cool, cool, cool, cool, 172 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:04,880 cool. Right. 173 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,800 Right, Right. You ought to be as desiring to 174 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,920 tattoo the imprint of God on your soul as you are to get your 175 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 art. Be as picky about that as your 176 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,840 art. Be as willing to show that as 177 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,680 you do your art, discuss that as much as you do your art. 178 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,000 Imprint him for and then he says this. 179 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,400 Why fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your 180 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,800 wives, your homes. It's about the family. 181 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,480 Fight for each other. Build for each other. 182 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,360 Battle for each other. Battle for my bloodline. 183 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,320 I'll battle for your bloodline. I'm a battle for the uncle that 184 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,080 left me. I'm a battle for the Mama that 185 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,960 quit on me. I'm a battle for the daddy 186 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,240 that's never around 'cause it's something bigger than just them. 187 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,040 It's about my bloodline that's in the family. 188 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,520 We'll see the restoration fully. Come. 189 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,640 You have to be able to build as strong as you battle, and you 190 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,040 got to battle as strong as you build. 191 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,520 You got to build as strong as you battle and battle as strong 192 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,400 as you build. You got to build as strong as 193 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,560 your battle, and you got to battle as strong as you build 194 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,560 first. Chronicles says this about 195 00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,520 Bowman's another country. We already told you there was 196 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,160 half that was work and half with the weapons, right? 197 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,880 Half suggests equality, parity. No difference in weight, 198 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400 influence or authority. First Chronicles 12 says this. 199 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,120 They were bold men that could use the right hand and the left 200 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,880 to sling the stones. You can't be able to build with 201 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,200 your right and battle with your right. 202 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,720 Build with your left, battle with your left. 203 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,880 It don't matter which way it is. You got to be able to do it and 204 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,680 everywhere. You have to be able to build and 205 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,560 battle with the same strength and intensity. 206 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,760 If you don't, you're giving the enemy and access to you. 207 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,800 You're tired, you're battling, or you're weak on your building. 208 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,360 You'll wear out your building knowing you're weak on your 209 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,920 battling. You can't give them an edge, any 210 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:14,360 way, shape, form or fashion. You have to build before you 211 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,880 battle. Everyone say before you battle 212 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,400 why you got to build before you battle? 213 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,560 Because what's the point of the fight? 214 00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,040 There's nothing to build for. The build is why you're 215 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,200 battling. What did he say? 216 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,000 Fight for your families. Fight for your sons and for your 217 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,360 daughters. Now, I didn't tell you this 218 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,600 part, but part of what he said when he went to the king was 219 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,960 this. The Sepulchres of my father's 220 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,920 are in ruins. Fight for your bloodline. 221 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,040 Fight for the people on whose shoulders that you stand. 222 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,880 You're not here because of your own comfort. 223 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,120 You're not here because of your own grace. 224 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,080 You're not here on your own merit alone. 225 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,520 You are here because you stand on the shoulders of others that 226 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,600 have prayed for you, fought for you, declared for you. 227 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,240 We are in this place because years ago, people who owned 228 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,120 these businesses walked the streets and said, God, bring a 229 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,160 church. God, create a witness. 230 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,200 We stand on other people's shoulders. 231 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,080 So fight for the legacy. I ain't going to let you down, 232 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,360 Mom. I'm going to take it as best I 233 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,680 can. Hey man, you have to build 234 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:20,520 before you battle because that gives you a reason to battle. 235 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,280 It also teaches you how to battle because of my battles 236 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,920 that help protect what I'm building. 237 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,920 If I'm building tall, then I know I got to have to what 238 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,480 battle tall. So I'm not interested in things 239 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,000 that distract me to try to battle wide. 240 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,720 If I know my family broken with addiction, it's great that the 241 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,640 end times are coming and Jesus and this and that and all that 242 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,000 kind of thing. Cool. 243 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,840 That's not why I need to battle right now. 244 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,840 I need to battle in the area of addiction. 245 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,440 So I'm going to get off YouTube, stop searching end times trying 246 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,920 to get it all figured out in my pride and say God, I'm going to 247 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,880 battle why I need to battle. I'm a battle, what you're trying 248 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:10,160 to build, which is my family more than my religious thought 249 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,720 base. Hey man. 250 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120 See, when you're part of the family, no matter what Home 251 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,400 Alone, says the movie, your parents will remember you. 252 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,240 Your protection and not getting left behind is to be a part of 253 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:33,960 the family. Say LA, you use a shovel to 254 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:41,400 build and use a sword to battle. OK, use a shovel to build and 255 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,960 sword to battle, but don't get it twisted. 256 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,080 I'm going to get through examples in just a bit of how we 257 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,040 really apply this in our life. Someone asked me, So what does 258 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,440 that mean? That you only use one thing to 259 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,960 build and you can't use that to battle. 260 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,480 Next slide. Now you can use a sword to apply 261 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,440 mortar. You can use the tool you 262 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,040 normally use the battle with to put. 263 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,200 What's more, that's the cement that holds bricks together. 264 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,240 Anyone ever turned a screw with a butter knife? 265 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,360 That's an example. OK, you can use your sword to 266 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,280 help you build, but you can also use shovel in a fight. 267 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,720 You can hurt a man with a shovel. 268 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,040 And I mean male and female and all other things in between. 269 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,480 OK? I mean people, animals, 270 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,480 everything, right? You can hurt somebody with a 271 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,400 shovel, right? So we're not saying these are 272 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,120 mutually exclusive, but we are saying understand that you can 273 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640 use one to do one thing, and there's something else that 274 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,160 helps to compliment it in a certain way in a season. 275 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,200 OK, you got it. So here's some examples. 276 00:15:54,040 --> 00:16:00,320 Worship builds prayer battles. Worship helps you focus on who 277 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,320 God is, and you become stronger and builds the revelation of who 278 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,720 he is in your relationship with Him on the inside of you. 279 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,520 So when you go to prayer, you're praying with confidence, knowing 280 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,000 what God has done. Worship helps to build you. 281 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,440 Prayer helps you battle. Now can you battle with worship? 282 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,640 Sure. But battling worship sounds much 283 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,720 different than building worship. I also won't tell you that I'm 284 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,120 making sense, right? But yeah, you can use you. 285 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,480 You can use those things. But worship really helps to 286 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,960 build, and prayer can really help you to battle in the way 287 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,080 you need to. The purpose of prayer and 288 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,480 battling is not Even so much all those people around you. 289 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,360 It's your own insecurities. It's your own weaknesses. 290 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,920 It's your own flesh. It's you doubting you. 291 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,680 A lot of the purpose of prayer is to get rid of the tapes in 292 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,320 your own head that you played, that you put that your family 293 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,120 place and people who you let esteem who you esteem let place 294 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,120 in you to say you can't, you won't. 295 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,839 You ain't good enough. Or only if I'm with you when you 296 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,119 make it that codependence. That's a lot of what the 297 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:19,119 battling is for Thanksgiving bills and your testimony 298 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:24,000 battles. Thanksgiving bills, your 299 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,200 testimony battles. When you're thanking God. 300 00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:29,760 I'll skip the slide there. When you're faking God, you're 301 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,840 saying this. God, I thank you for what you've 302 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,560 done. You're remembering God's 303 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,800 goodness. You're remembering His Amazing 304 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,400 Grace towards you. It's building your confidence in 305 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,680 that he did it, and it's confidence that he'll do it 306 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,760 again. You're building your you're 307 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,280 you're building who he is on the inside of you. 308 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,720 And the fact that he has you, It's your building big. 309 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,680 You're building him in you and building him through you. 310 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,200 Now you battle with your testimony. 311 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,680 How do you battle with your testimony? 312 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,320 I'm sure how it works. God, I thank you that you've 313 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,640 delivered me. He delivered me. 314 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,880 He can deliver you. You see, I'm battling with my 315 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,280 testimony now. You ain't too hard. 316 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,880 You ain't too lost. You should have seen where I 317 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,320 was. And by His grace, he picked me 318 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,400 up and carried me right here. See, your testimony helps you 319 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,200 battle. Which means if your testimony 320 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,280 helps you battle, you always got a prayer on your lips. 321 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,960 God, what you did for me, do for them. 322 00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:31,800 Why you did it in me. Do it for them now, if you 323 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,440 really want to get agape with your battle, this is how you do 324 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,600 it, God, How you did it for me. Do it better for them, God, how 325 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,440 you did it for me. Do it shorter for them. 326 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,360 God, how you did it for me. Bring more of their family with 327 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,800 them than you did with me. Your testimony helps you to 328 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,280 battle. Thanksgiving helps you to build. 329 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,760 And I want to tell you something. 330 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,120 How can you use? Again, I want to make sure it's 331 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:02,920 clear we're not talking about these things as being wholly 332 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:09,120 separate. You can use your Thanksgiving to 333 00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:13,840 battle. How do you battle using your 334 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,560 Thanksgiving? Who? 335 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,400 Who wants to play? Troy, come up here for me, 336 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:25,910 please. I thank you that I'm free from 337 00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:27,150 everything you brought in my life. 338 00:19:27,870 --> 00:19:29,750 I thank you that I'm say I'm trying to get free from 339 00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:32,110 something. I thank you that I'm free. 340 00:19:33,030 --> 00:19:34,030 I thank you. I'm free. 341 00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:37,350 I thank you that I'm free. I thank you that I'm free. 342 00:19:37,710 --> 00:19:40,270 I thank you that I'm free. I thank you that I'm free. 343 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:43,390 I try to walk away. I thank you that I'm free. 344 00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:47,000 I thank you that I'm free. I thank you that I'm free. 345 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,920 I thank you that I'm free. I thank you That I'm free. 346 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,240 That I'm free. That I'm free. 347 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,360 I thank you Lord that I'm free from this. 348 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,880 I'm free from this. Your Thanksgiving will be 349 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,600 getting to wear out your enemies. 350 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,480 It's alright enough. It's like when your kid is 3 and 351 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,720 they're like Mama again, Mama again. 352 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,840 Play the song again. Play the song again. 353 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,200 Your testimony will battle for you. 354 00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:14,520 Your Thanksgiving will battle for you. 355 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,240 Shout out to my boy. That's if you have a little 356 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,800 That's what that's called. Everyone says we're about to be 357 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,520 educated. That's called importunity. 358 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,320 When you willing to keep thanking, thanking God for your 359 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,200 freedom in the face of what's battling you to the point where 360 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,280 it says, man, you gonna wear me out? 361 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,840 I got to leave town now I'm gonna leave you alone with your 362 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,560 healing 'cause. You're wearing me out with all 363 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,080 that Thanksgiving. It's called importunity. 364 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,760 I won't give up. I won't quit until I see the 365 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,520 goodness of God in the land of the living. 366 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,880 Tithing builds, offering battles. 367 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,720 Tithing helps you remember how good God has blessed you. 368 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,280 Tithing was Abraham's idea. He came from a big battle. 369 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,080 He saw Melchizedek coming down. Melchizedek, the high priest of 370 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,560 God, the God Most High. A symbol and type of Jesus said, 371 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,400 I'll bless you, and out of the gratitude of the blessing and 372 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,600 recognizing what that meant, he said, I'll give you a tithe. 373 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,440 I want to give you a 10th. 10th partly means complete. 374 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,720 I know that you may have blessed me in one area, but your 375 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,720 blessing extends to every area of my life. 376 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,360 Your blessing is more complete than any battle, than any 377 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:34,640 victory, any paycheck, any freedom, any deliverance. 378 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:41,160 The blessing of God on my life. Tithing helps you build, your 379 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,520 offering helps you, helps you battle. 380 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,440 How do you know? When Abraham came to 381 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,800 Melchizedek, he gave him a tithe out of Thanksgiving for the 382 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,880 blessing. You got it. 383 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,240 But when it came time in the war for his legacy, he offered up 384 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,960 his son as a seed. See, the seed helps you fight 385 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,200 the secrets. War creates a space. 386 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,520 It goes all day back to Genesis that when man had failed and 387 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,120 lost a blessing. The enemy say battle is on with 388 00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:15,200 the sea baby 'cause it's gonna be one that's gonna come gonna 389 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,200 destroy you, my brother. Or if he was a brother, I don't 390 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,120 know who how you characterize Satan anyway, but he didn't pay 391 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:22,520 anyway. God is saying, Listen man, I'm 392 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,960 gonna notice that happened. I'm gonna send a seed. 393 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,280 A seed can be a person, but a seed can also be a gift. 394 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,760 It can be whatever you want to give unto the Lord. 395 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,680 It's money, It's time. It's it's Thanksgiving. 396 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,720 It's praise. It's everything in our life can 397 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,800 become a seed that can battle for us. 398 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,720 So understand, when we have time to give, like we have in the 399 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,480 remedy campaign, that's God saying to us, put your seat to 400 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,480 work, Nehemiah said this. Let us do our part, and God will 401 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,760 fight for us. Put your seed to support the 402 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,920 work of God in rebuilding the wall and what that can mean to 403 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,840 the community. And watch God fight for you on 404 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,160 behalf of that seed that you sow. 405 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:08,520 Amen. We'll go through a few examples. 406 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,400 Number one, here's an example with God. 407 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,040 God made the earth. That's called building after you 408 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,040 make the earth. Genesis 11 He said in Genesis 409 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,960 1-2 now the earth was in chaos. So God said what? 410 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,360 Let there be light. First he built. 411 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,600 God created the heavens and the earth and then when disruption 412 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,080 entered He said, I'm a battle with light, with revelation, 413 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,880 with understanding my presence. Adam did the same thing. 414 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,040 He did the same thing with Adam. He said this what Adam be 415 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,680 fruitful build but also so do it. 416 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,600 That's the battle part. What what am I trying to do with 417 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,840 this. I'm trying to give you examples 418 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,040 that build your momentum of a successful pattern of 419 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,920 effectiveness. OK, I'm trying to do something 420 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,640 better for you than what GPS does. 421 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,440 When you on your way somebody what you do, you plug in GPS 422 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,840 coordinates and say what? And GPS says, says, says this to 423 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,440 you based on the pattern of those people that have gone 424 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,080 before you. I am telling you it's safe to 425 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,920 travel through here and you'll arrive in X amount of minutes. 426 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,880 And you so believe that that you will say to people, I'll be 427 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,880 there at 2:37. I'm trying to let you know this 428 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,960 is better than GPS coordinates. God has been using this 429 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,000 combination of building and battling, building 1st and 430 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,160 battling all throughout time, all throughout the covenant, all 431 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,320 throughout history. If God did it, then it's 432 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,480 available for me and I'll get God results. 433 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,440 If Adam did, it's available for me. 434 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,480 I get Adam results. If Moses did it, it's available 435 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,080 for me. I get Moses results. 436 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,280 If Jesus did it, it's available for me. 437 00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,840 I get Jesus results. God's trying to give you the 438 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,440 cheat code of how to stand in this time and how to rebuild 439 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,800 that which has been torn down in your life. 440 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:14,640 It's a pattern and it's proven completely, totally man. 441 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:18,240 One more I want to go to you is this Jesus. 442 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,080 Jesus as the lamb came to build, he came to build who we were, 443 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,000 came to restore, restore our relationship with God. 444 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,120 But guess it says what? He's coming back as a lion. 445 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,160 He ain't coming back to build. He coming back to battle. 446 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,400 Build my people first. Now I'm going to come back to 447 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,600 battle and make sure we get everything that belongs to them. 448 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,720 And they have everything that I promised for them. 449 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,120 Man, building is the why you battle. 450 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,920 We talked about that, right? But building also draws the 451 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,240 battle. Say draws the battle. 452 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,640 If you don't want to battle, don't build. 453 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,680 I guarantee you you won't have any battles. 454 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,600 But you won't have nothing either. 455 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,680 You won't have nothing for now, nothing for later, Nothing to 456 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,840 pass on, nothing to give. OK, But you won't have any 457 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,760 battles, though. Building draws battles. 458 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,560 Pastor said this, that we're ready for the blessing. 459 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:28,440 We're also ready for the battle. Nehemiah says this. 460 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,240 Nehemiah, I think 46 says this. So we built the wall. 461 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,600 All of it was joined together at half its height. 462 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,680 Man, this half part was pretty easy. 463 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,800 I don't feel any obstruction. I don't feel anything. 464 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,440 I don't have to learn how to battle. 465 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,880 I just focus on building. I'm going to leave my sword at 466 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,880 home because we've had some success. 467 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,440 But watch out. He goes on to say this though. 468 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,720 Those fellas I listened to, they heard that the walls of 469 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,080 Jerusalem were going up, that the breaches were closed, and 470 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,560 they became very angry. Their bat, their building, 471 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,240 attracted a battle and the success of their building 472 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,320 attracted a battle. And notice one of the responses 473 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,520 to them was to do what? To try to cause confusion and 474 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,120 failure in it. What's failure? 475 00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:15,240 Fatigue. I'm going to get you confused 476 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,480 and get you to quit. That's one of the tactics that 477 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,440 undermine your building. So you got to learn how to 478 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,880 battle those things. Battle confusion, battle 479 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,480 fatigue, Worship helps you battle confusion and prayer 480 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,200 helps you battle fatigue, all the things we're talking about. 481 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,200 So building will draw a battle. Building is the reason for the 482 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,520 battle. So not only is building the why 483 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,880 you battle, what's the reason for the battle. 484 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,320 I want to go to the next slide that talks and touches on but is 485 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,080 there a difference between building and battling and 486 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,480 building, battling and building? Is there a difference? 487 00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:59,320 Yes, there is a difference between building and battling. 488 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,080 And when I saw the Lord say Lord, is there a difference 489 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,400 between the two? I thought God was saying, yeah, 490 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,600 there's difference, OK, And here's and here's what I got. 491 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,160 What's the difference to share with you? 492 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,160 Building before battling is when you're trying to do something in 493 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:21,120 your generation. We got to build something, 494 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:29,240 right, in our context, and that gives us not only equipment to 495 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,600 battle, preparedness to battle, but it's going to draw a fight 496 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,320 to battle because we're building something for our generation, 497 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,720 and that's great. So we got to build first before 498 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,120 you battle. But if all the time you're 499 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,200 always building first before you battle, understand, you're 500 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,520 really just focusing on your generation, OK? 501 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,640 Right. But battling before building is 502 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680 when you focus on the next generation. 503 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:05,480 OK, here's how it works. When I'm worshipping God, you're 504 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,480 God, Great God almighty, You're doing amazing things. 505 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,320 God and I pray that we receive everything we need to receive in 506 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,040 the midst. I pray the enemy's bounds so we 507 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,360 can continue our work. That's building and battling for 508 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,200 now, not only before. Billy looks like this. 509 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,440 Father, I want to pray for the next generation coming. 510 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,840 Father, I thank you even before they hear, hear. 511 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,600 Equip them, Protect them. Watch out for them, Care for 512 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,960 them. Save them, deliver them. 513 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,160 Give them places to encourage their life. 514 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,400 Your prayers can go ahead to battle for the next generation. 515 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,160 And if we did more battling for the next generation, the next 516 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,600 generation would have an easier time to start to build for their 517 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,480 generation. There is a difference. 518 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,160 So in this love, love, quest, context, you want to see us do 519 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,360 both. We want to do some building 520 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,440 before battling. We're also going to do some 521 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,480 battling before building because we believe what God's trying to 522 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,280 establish here in our context and what God's calling us to, is 523 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,600 something that's going to go beyond our lives, but for 524 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,360 generations to come. There's specific things we're 525 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,640 going to battle for through prayer, battle for through our 526 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,800 giving, battle for through our service, battle for through our 527 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,960 fasting, for those generations that are coming so they can walk 528 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,280 into a better footing, a better blessing, walk into greater 529 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,880 clarity and greater efficiency for what God's calling them, 530 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,000 calling them to do. Here's an example from the 531 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:44,600 scripture I want to share with you, John 17 This is Jesus 532 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:51,480 battling before building. OK, When? 533 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,200 When Jesus has spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to 534 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,880 heaven and said, Father, thou has come, glorify and exalt in 535 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:04,080 honor and magnify your Son so that your Son may glorify and 536 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,320 stole and honor and magnify you, just as you granted him power 537 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,720 and authority over all flesh, so that he may give eternal life to 538 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,840 all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, to 539 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,400 know you the one only true in real God, And likewise said, no 540 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,400 him, Jesus the Christ, the not the one who you sent. 541 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,000 I've glorified you down here on earth by completing the work you 542 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,480 gave me to do. I built. 543 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,680 Now, Father, glorify me along with yourself, and restore me to 544 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,800 the majesty and honor Your presence which I had before the 545 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,160 beginning of the world. I've manifested your name to 546 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,040 them, to your people. They were yours. 547 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,120 You gave them to me, and they have obeyed and kept your word. 548 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,040 Now they know an understanding they've given them. 549 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,320 No one understand the words you gave me. 550 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,000 I've given them, and they've received and accepted and have 551 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,400 come, continue to know positively to positively and in 552 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,040 reality that I came forth from your presence. 553 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,880 And they have believed and are convinced that you did send me. 554 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,680 I am praying for them. You hear the battle. 555 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,000 I am praying for them. I'm not praying for the world, 556 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,080 but for those you've given me. All of mine are yours and yours 557 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,520 are mine, and we're going to stop there. 558 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,400 But Jesus goes on to pray is this. 559 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,520 I'm praying for them. When the enemy comes, keep them. 560 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,720 I'm praying for them. When the work gets hard. 561 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,160 Let them know you love them as much as you love me. 562 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,400 Be with them as much as you going to be with me. 563 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,960 I'm praying. I'm battling first because it's 564 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,800 not about me here. It's about them carrying on the 565 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,200 work. And if you get a little farther 566 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,360 down, it says this. And I pray not only for these 567 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,400 that are in my presence, but for all of those that will believe 568 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,560 on me through the work that they do. 569 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,840 That means you, you, you, you and me. 570 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,560 Jesus was battling for you in that moment. 571 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,960 Amen. Then he went to acts. 572 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:09,000 He prayed to battle, and in acts two he began to build. 573 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,640 So when suddenly they came aside from heaven like the Russian of 574 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,480 a violent Tempest blast, it filled the whole house in which 575 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,240 they were sitting. And there appeared to them 576 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,560 tongues resembling fire, which was separated and distributed, 577 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,960 which set on each one of them. And they were filled with the 578 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,800 Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit 579 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,040 gave them utterance. Keep going Now they were 580 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,760 residing then in Jerusalem, Jews devouting God, free men from 581 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,120 every country under heaven. And when this sound was heard, 582 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,240 the multitude came together, and they were astonished and 583 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,720 bewildered, because each one heard the apostle speaking in 584 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,640 his own language, particular dialect, and they were beside 585 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,600 themselves with amazement, saying, Are not all these who 586 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,520 are talking Galileans? Then how is it that we hear each 587 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,480 of us in our own tongue through which we were born? 588 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,320 You keep posting up to list a lot of people there, right? 589 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,760 Then. Then how is it that we hear each 590 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,200 of us in our own tongues? Keep going. 591 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:14,239 Next one. All over the globe. 592 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,719 It's important. All over the globe. 593 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,480 All over the globe. OK, tell me, if the mighty works 594 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,840 of God, then what are they telling us? 595 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:28,120 The mighty works of God. The mighty work that's called 596 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,600 building. They're telling us the mighty 597 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,760 works of God, who God is, right? And they were beside themselves 598 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,679 with amazement. And we're puzzling and beworded, 599 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:40,360 saying one to another, what can this mean? 600 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,040 Keep going Down, brothers. Others made a joke of it. 601 00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,719 One of the ways that enemy caused you to stop building is 602 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,199 to ridicule. You make a joke of what you're 603 00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:51,960 doing, who you think you are. I know where you come from. 604 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,239 We used to get high together. Come on. 605 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,280 What? You think you're all that? 606 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,520 Now? We're going to stop there. 607 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,480 But I will tell you this. You know what it goes on to say 608 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:10,760 that Peter get up to preach and when he preached the power of 609 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:20,400 God came and because God of the prayer of Jesus in John 17 the 610 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,720 outpouring the bill came in Acts 2. 611 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,280 With all the language required to start it. 612 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,040 And in that moment people heard the gospel preached in all 613 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,880 language, they gathered there from all over the world, and 614 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,880 this was the cry in different languages. 615 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,560 What must I do to be saved? Imagine one man preaches in a 616 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,120 moment and people from Italy says in Italian, what must I do 617 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,520 to be saved? And Croatians say what must I do 618 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,760 to be saved? And languages all throughout the 619 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,360 earth being a cry, what must I do to be saved? 620 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,280 And in a moment it says I think a few thousand were added to the 621 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,680 church because the battle had already been won in the prayer 622 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,200 before the building came and asked. 623 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,080 Because it wasn't about Jesus being here. 624 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,000 It was about what happens when I go. 625 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,960 I prayed before I left in order to build the next generation 626 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:23,120 after I'm gone. We're called to build and to 627 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,920 battle, but that also leads us to battle and build for the next 628 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,360 generation. And that's a place where prayer 629 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,160 in particular has a unique space and place and ability to 630 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,360 accomplish that task. So I want to just say this, 631 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,800 here's our charge, say my charge, say my part. 632 00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:50,920 Understand this, before coming home, somebody got to build a 633 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,280 home. That's why we're battling and 634 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,240 building. That's why we're building and 635 00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:00,800 battling. The Lord want me to share this, 636 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,560 he said. This build the house because 637 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,280 they coming. Build the walls because they 638 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,280 coming. Build the gates because they 639 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,800 coming, they coming. So you want to build ready. 640 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,920 You want to battle ready because they coming, they coming, they 641 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,920 coming, they coming, they coming. 642 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:31,400 So feel like they coming battle like they coming feel like they 643 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,760 coming in a short time and battle like they coming in a 644 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,920 short time because the urgency with which you build in battle 645 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,360 can often quicken and hasten their pace of getting here. 646 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,880 So you always want to remember you going to build ready, you 647 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,000 going to battle ready, as well as every other kind of ready, 648 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,240 'cause that's the kind of people we are. 649 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,160 Amen. Amen. 650 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,320 Come on up. Not right. 651 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,400 Not right here. What you see right here is this 652 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,960 build or is this battle what you think? 653 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,520 It's both. But I'm going to tell you, I can 654 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,480 battle some stuff with this that I can't build with it. 655 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:24,960 Father, we thank you. We thank you for what you're 656 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:30,040 doing, God. Hopefully you've received 657 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,520 something tonight that have transformed your life, changed 658 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,840 your life. Because that was the intent. 659 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,920 We can come and just listen. We can come and be changed. 660 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,080 The one part I didn't tell you about Nehemiah is that there was 661 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,560 some who watched the people build with swords on their hips 662 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,800 and sat back and didn't do anything. 663 00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:10,600 And when the wall was built and the gates were set, they were 664 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,480 protected. But you know what they didn't 665 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,680 get is what happens in the other chapters of Nehemiah, where the 666 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:25,400 Spirit of God lists the Richmond family helped build the wall. 667 00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,600 Swain family helped build the wall. 668 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,400 It's listed there, the families you stood up, the ones that 669 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,160 didn't receive the blessing, but they never received the full 670 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,720 testimony, to never receive that acknowledgement by God, that 671 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,480 eternal gratitude that comes with him. 672 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,000 Having said, I want you to know how grateful I am for what you 673 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:55,920 did as a family, so you can sit and not partake of the building 674 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,760 or the battling and you'll still be. 675 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,040 Protected long as you stay close. 676 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,920 But how much better it is for your children to go up and say 677 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,120 that's MyHeritage, that's whose shoulders I stand on. 678 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,200 It's in me, it's in me, it's in me. 679 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,360 I won't let you down. I'll pick up the mantle. 680 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:23,000 I'll carry it for you. And sometimes, as it happens, 681 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,320 when generations get missed, a grandparent passes before a 682 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:35,360 grandchild can really know them. The grandparent passes. 683 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,760 The parent can take their child and say he didn't know you Your 684 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:46,520 granddaddy, what a fought. Let me tell you, you should be 685 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,760 who he is. This wall was built. 686 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,440 See that name right there? That's your granddaddy. 687 00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,520 That tells you everything you need to know about him. 688 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,360 He did it with his hands. He did it building. 689 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,200 He didn't fight. He wouldn't give up. 690 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,160 Because he was thinking about you. 691 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,840 That's where you come from. Be a legacy. 692 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,800 Be a testimony. Just don't sit and receive the 693 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,160 benefit. Get your name in there. 694 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,200 For those don't know about talking about something, put 695 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,720 your name on a gold plaque. I'm talking about in heaven what 696 00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:34,640 God says Thank you. That's what I'm talking about. 697 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,160 You'll have an opportunity. Just a moment, Think they're 698 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,840 going to bring the tables up? We're going to have some 699 00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:46,680 opportunity for our remnant giving. 700 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:55,440 It's for finishing the work next door so we can do more, so we 701 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,200 can grow more and serve more and love more, so we can have shifts 702 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,280 and be open all night if we need to. 703 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,120 We encourage you to listen to what God is asking you, how to 704 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,200 participate and understand. It's not about what you have, 705 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,400 it's about what you're willing to let God get through you. 706 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,560 Because God can speak something to your heart, and in the midst 707 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,160 of speaking that to you, He's showing you what he's going to 708 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,440 do in your life in a way that you never expected. 709 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,960 It's just for you to open up your hearts for God to fulfill 710 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,480 His promise to you. So we're going to encourage you 711 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,440 to be generous during that time. If you want to proceed and give 712 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,240 with your regular ties and offerings, you can do so in the 713 00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:35,120 back. We ask you to bring the Remnant 714 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,320 giving up here at this time so we have an opportunity to put 715 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,000 into practice what we're just talking about. 716 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,520 Building and battling, worshipping and praying, putting 717 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,560 it together. I love it when we can give 718 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,520 action to the Word, because the Bible says that God comes to 719 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,280 watch over His word to perform it. 720 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,320 Hey man, and I will tell you this, you need both. 721 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,880 You got to be equally strong at both. 722 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,440 Now we're battling through our giving, but you can battle 723 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,840 through praying. God bless that Givi. 724 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,520 God increase, send more givers. God let me be able to 725 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,360 participate in a greater way next time. 726 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,840 God you can build by opening your mouth to worship the Lord 727 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,640 in this moment as our worship team sings and leads us in. 728 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:26,160 This time you don't have to be left out if you don't want to be 729 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,280 left out, but you are going to have to open up your mouth. 730 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,280 And engage with the work. Amen. 731 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,120 So, as we worship would have this opportunity of giving. 732 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:44,880 Amen. Amen. 733 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,720 One of the ways you can. How do you stand on God's 734 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:52,720 faithfulness? It's not bricks and it's not 735 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,760 mortar. How do you stand on God's 736 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,240 faithfulness? You thought about that? 737 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:03,080 See, sometimes I like to take a pause to challenge myself, like 738 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,360 I sing words. I get caught up in the melody. 739 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,480 But what was it really mean to me, right. 740 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,560 And This is why it's part important to be part of a body 741 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,280 and to gather together. Because the way I'll stand on 742 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:27,320 God's faithfulness, remember how he brought you out and remember 743 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,000 how He did in your life. And I said, then I go down the 744 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,280 line. I say faithful, faithful, 745 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,840 faithful. Without evidence of his 746 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:42,920 faithfulness, it's harder to understand how to stand on it. 747 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,640 But when I see what God's done in your life and your life, and 748 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,240 your life and your life and your life and your life and your life 749 00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:52,480 and your life, surely I can count and stand on that very 750 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,720 same thing. That's how you stand on the 751 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,160 faithfulness of God. One of the ways is to remember 752 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,840 not just what He did in your life from day-to-day and week to 753 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,720 week, but what he's done in the lives of all of those around 754 00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:05,280 you. So when you say you're standing 755 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,200 on God's. Faithfulness. 756 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:12,360 You're remembering all of the testimonies, all the victories, 757 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,240 all of what it took for you to get here, all of what your. 758 00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:19,320 Family's been through all of what you've been through. 759 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,240 God, I'm not going to be moved. And you know the great thing 760 00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:28,400 about standing on faithfulness when it's based on testimonies? 761 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,160 If, if, if. Mark, can you come here very 762 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,280 quickly? If I was to stand on the 763 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,080 faithfulness of God, but on his testimony, turn around and you 764 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,000 act like I was standing on his shoulders. 765 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,600 If these were my feet, what would you do with your hands? 766 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:53,200 If I stand on your shoulders? I'm not just standing on what 767 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,240 God's done in his life because of what God done in his life. 768 00:45:57,240 --> 00:45:59,600 He's holding me to make sure I don't fall. 769 00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:04,920 It's not only am I standing on this faithfulness, but my 770 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,480 brothers and my sisters and the people around me saying we don't 771 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,760 keep you standing, we're going to hold you together. 772 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,640 We going to keep you. We're going to watch. 773 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,760 You're not. Going to trip, you're not going 774 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,840 to. Fall, lift your hands up. 775 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,360 We got you in every air in every way, just encouraging you with 776 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,280 that illustration of why we're gathering on Mondays to pray 777 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,200 online and women's prayer calls encourage you to participate in 778 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,920 those. Men starts at 8:00 and women 779 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,320 starts at 8:30. But also we're gathering during 780 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,960 the week from Tuesday to Saturday, because when you 781 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:49,400 gather together, you build together, you battle together, 782 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,120 you send prayers and things to the next generations together, 783 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,520 and you stand on each other's shoulders together. 784 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,760 It's something amazing when you know, if I just get there, 785 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,240 somebody got me. All I got to do is get there. 786 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,960 And that's what we're doing, is we encourage you to challenge 787 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,480 yourself.

We appreciate your generosity 795 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,160 and your giving and this time and these moments are 796 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:44,320 significant. I can remember when my kids were 797 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,520 learning to play my daughter, particularly playing piano and 798 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,480 she would play something. I can just listen to her all day 799 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,480 play that one, that one little scale she was doing because she 800 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,160 wasn't playing a scale. She had a hold of my heart. 801 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,640 So these moments in these times are we basking in. 802 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,160 Sometimes it's the father's like it may not seem like much to you 803 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,200 but you got my heart. I can just hear you do twinkle, 804 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,920 twinkle little star all day. It's like this like we say 805 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,040 again, daddy. Daddy says get child again, 806 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:25,560 child in Jesus name. So Father, we thank you for this 807 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,760 time and our gathering. Now what I'm going to do is this 808 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,440 and I'm going to say a prayer and the prayers of prayer 809 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:35,640 release a master worship team if they can lead us in one more 810 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,160 song at least, and we'll just see what God leads and what God 811 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,160 goes. It's not about trying to stay, 812 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,520 it's just about saying God. We're grateful for what you're 813 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,640 doing and what you started. You know what it says about in 814 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,880 Nehemiah? That's the challenge. 815 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,040 It says that they would take shifts so they could be there 816 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,560 all through the night. Keep and watch. 817 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,920 They build and battle all through the night. 818 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,320 I'm not saying we won't be all through the night. 819 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,520 Father, we thank you for this time. 820 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,600 We thank you for what you've done. 821 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,480 We thank you that every heart is received And every heart has 822 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,320 been transformed.
