Am I talking to a few people in 78 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:19,600 here today? Is there anybody here that 79 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:26,600 actually came to have church? Not just do community right? 80 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,560 I know some of y'all didn't know what to expect coming into this 81 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,520 garage, but let me tell you something. 82 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Any people that do church in a garage, they do church. 83 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,919 OK, you understand what I'm saying because being in this 84 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:44,520 garage speaks to to the tenacity. 85 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,560 It speaks to the kind of person. It don't matter what it looks 86 00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,960 like. I know my God is faithful. 87 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,560 It doesn't matter what it looks like on the outside. 88 00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:00,280 I am rich on the inside, clean on the inside, clean on the 89 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,000 outside. Come on, say I'm a finisher. 90 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:17,640 Failure in your ability is not the end, it's the beginning when 91 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:26,840 I am weak. He is what you're coming to the 92 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,240 end of yourself because you need more than yourself. 93 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,160 Finishing strong is what we do, but finishing strong is not what 94 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:42,000 we see often. We're not just getting to the 95 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,080 finish line. We're called to bust through the 96 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:58,160 finishing line like finishing is a call the the the enemy. 97 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,880 Look, do you know how many people find a job, find a 98 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000 purpose, find a career stack, enjoy whatever benefits the 99 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,320 career brings, get to they sick bed and wish they had more time 100 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:21,800 for purpose? Hebrews 12 tells us to let go of 101 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,240 every encumbrance, not just every weight. 102 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:34,160 And an encumbrance is the good thing that binds you, the good 103 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,200 thing that binds you. We talked about sweet cheeks in 104 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,680 the first service, and sweet cheeks have bound a lot of 105 00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:45,720 people. And if you know what sweet 106 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,640 cheeks are, you've probably been bound by sweet cheeks. 107 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,680 It's that thing that it is benefiting your flesh, but it is 108 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:08,240 binding your new man. I was talking to my son the 109 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,120 other day, man, my son handsome. My son is an athlete. 110 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,600 My son is smart. My son is, is going to do some 111 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,400 great things. My daughter is only. 112 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:19,440 And I said, boy, if I had it like you got it. 113 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,800 We just having a little, little little little little banana 114 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:31,840 leaf, a little roti, little little ginger beef. 115 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,000 Right. And you ever order something 116 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,480 that you like? Oh that sounds good. 117 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:44,360 And when they come you're like, Nah, have some noodles. 118 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,040 Y'all don't know what noodles are? 119 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,840 They got noodles in almost every cuisine. 120 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,720 Noodles say noodles. OK, those are noodles. 121 00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,560 OK, for those that didn't know, those are noodles. 122 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:09,640 I said son. Who said God can't bring you 123 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,080 your good thing early? See, here's the mess up. 124 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:23,160 Sometimes God reveals early and then ask us to tie it later and 125 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,800 we mad when the good thing went bad because we tied the good 126 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,240 thing up too early. God is saying, hey here, your 127 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,280 deposit, I got you. I said, son, looks, man, there's 128 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,080 thousands of women out there, right? 129 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,600 There's thousands of men out there. 130 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,720 Yeah. I'm like, all right. 131 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,800 There's a lot of people like I got my soul mate. 132 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,000 Well, I know that may hurt some of y'all feelings that you don't 133 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000 got a soulmate yet and you'd God didn't just plant one person in 134 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,600 the earth and you just got to spend your life looking for the 135 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480 one and then one day you like I can't find it. 136 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,040 So I guess I'm a settle. I said Son, Prince King. 137 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:20,200 Juice hey, what what we ain't telling our kids is the real 138 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,480 power is in the ability to choose, not the ability to find 139 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:30,400 the one because what I see in the scripture after I when I do 140 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,760 weddings, the Bible says that the two become one. 141 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:43,800 So I'm not a soul mate until we become and this is the problem 142 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,560 when you have sex outside of marriage you become you become 143 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,720 one with something you got to let go. 144 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,920 So you soul tied instead of waiting for soul mate. 145 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:08,240 And now after you didn't got a few neck ties on you, now you 146 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:14,480 finally choose the one. And then now you and no one got 147 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,280 to deal with other souls that you didn't got tied to. 148 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:33,280 And then you over there with sweet cheeks and you making out 149 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,280 with them, and that other name almost came out your mouth. 150 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,680 Because that other name was in your spirit. 151 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,000 I said son, brother, you know what's so dope you end up at 152 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000 that altar? Ain't touch the thing with the 153 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,560 one you. Can test drive the rest of your 154 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,240 life. Why we got to test drive me like 155 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,000 that's a lemon or that's a bad car. 156 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,560 The world tell you to test drive live together first, let's 157 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,400 figure out if they let's find out what's below the waist for 158 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,840 what? What's below the waist today. 159 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,640 Trust me, it ain't gonna work always. 160 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:47,800 Can I help you? OK, OK, so I say, son, boy, you 161 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,960 could just trust your dad. Brother, you qualified. 162 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160 You affirm. You could just choose right the 163 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,560 first time. The recipe is somebody that 164 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:05,440 fears God, Yeah, they got to be a little intelligent. 165 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,680 It's a little bit just a little bit like just make sure they 166 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:19,240 brain working. Like make sure they got some RAM 167 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,080 in their computer where we can at least upload some stuff 168 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,760 today. Like if they brain ain't 169 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000 working, then we that I don't care how fine they is. 170 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,320 You got to keep it pushing. OK? 171 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,200 Like anybody ever bought a computer for $150 from the store 172 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,680 from the store where it's at. Since you want to be the only 173 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,960 one to raise your hand where you where that computer at? 174 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:57,080 It's gone. He, like I did, it's gone. 175 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,599 I said, buddy, when you when you get to that altar without that 176 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:17,839 girl, forget a ring boy, if you can offer her all of you and 177 00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:24,880 look at that woman in her eyes and say, dear, I've saved myself 178 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,120 for you. And I said, any woman you just 179 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,320 kind of even be friends with, it would be a shame to find a 180 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,160 really cool person and then mess up the friendship because you 181 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:43,960 prioritize romance. I said buddy, you have the 182 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,960 responsibility because if she ain't your wife, she's somebody 183 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,720 else's. So if you treat her as a sister 184 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:01,800 in Christ, you can set her man up and not send her to somebody 185 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,280 else with scars. You don't want to wait. 186 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:09,200 No one gets in the relationship to hurt. 187 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:19,900 Somebody, I said, son, you got it, brother, you got it. 188 00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:24,220 Good. A handsome brother like you to 189 00:18:24,220 --> 00:18:39,400 show up to a woman and be like I have saved all of me, none of 190 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,120 me, all for you. I'm like, brother, that's a high 191 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:50,280 commodity these days, but the world is telling you the total. 192 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:58,040 Opposite the good fighter finishing faith. 193 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,160 In this room we have someone who's the best player. 194 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,200 A couple of the guys raised a hand, two women raised their 195 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,000 hands. Almost a coach, almost one in 196 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,160 the back, right? I was hoping everybody raised 197 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,400 their hand right because guess what? 198 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,040 There is no wrong. You're not wrong to think that 199 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,120 you're the best. Now, are you putting in the 200 00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,600 work, the time and are you confident to fail? 201 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,360 That's what we want to see. I was watching you guys this 202 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:09,000 week. I want to see if it's going to 203 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,920 fail and it was going to come back. 204 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:19,360 That's the one I'm arrived with. The big worry was that the heat 205 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:26,160 and humidity, we just tried to to put it aside and just 206 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:31,920 concentrated on the race. My head and everything was still 207 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,440 functioning. I I knew where I had to go and. 208 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,800 To. Dehydration your body cramps up. 209 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,480 I kind of, I told myself, tried to keep running, tried to stay 210 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,720 upright. My muscles just didn't respond. 211 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,640 I knew if I would stop or sit down, that would be the end of 212 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,960 it. I just wasn't a permit to wake 213 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:33,640 you through that finish line. I'm here to tell somebody 214 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,680 there's more inside of you than you think. 215 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,960 I also need you to hear this very closely. 216 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,840 Finishing strong is a generational weapon. 217 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:56,560 Can I tell this side Finishing strong is a generational weapon? 218 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,560 Stephen Curry sucked for the first few games of the Olympics. 219 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:11,400 Last few games of the Olympics went absolutely off What you 220 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:17,640 think they remembered how he finished But then the joke is 221 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:25,280 now next time can you start how you finished because the way 222 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,400 you. Started scared us. 223 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,200 We need your finishing effort sooner. 224 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,080 And a lot of people wait until the ends of their lives to start 225 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:48,680 giving maximum effort. Start living a life of 226 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,680 simplicity. When I say simplicity, I'm not 227 00:22:52,680 --> 00:23:00,200 talking minimalist. I'm not talking, look, if you 228 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,480 want 10 couches in your house, just keep it clean. 229 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:11,080 I'm talking keep your life simple to God's purpose for you. 230 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,480 And then we wait and our kids get out of the house and we 231 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:23,120 empty nesters and we like, whoa, all right, purpose, although 232 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:27,160 kids is a part of the purpose. But kids aren't a pause in 233 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:38,400 purpose. Never an excuse, right? 234 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,000 Money is a sensitive topic with people. 235 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,640 Kids is a sensitive topic with people. 236 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,920 And we have used both to avoid God. 237 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:04,920 Both have stolen God time when God was the one in the beginning 238 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,200 blessed you with both to serve him. 239 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,000 He gave Isaiah, He gave. He gave Abraham what he what he 240 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,840 prayed, what he asked for, and then what he asked Abraham give 241 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:26,360 it back. You see? 242 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,320 The blind lady she was, she was, she couldn't see when she was 243 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,240 running and she had a partner next to her, right. 244 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,680 If I watch that, if we watch that again, you'll actually see 245 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,880 that the runner that was leading her was not at his maximum 246 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:48,080 speed, but she was at hers. I don't. 247 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,920 I don't need to run with people that can run at my Max. 248 00:24:55,360 --> 00:25:00,720 I need to run with people that stretch me to my Max, but they 249 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,120 still have more to stretch me beyond my potential. 250 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,440 But what it takes to run full speed, trusting someone else's 251 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,600 site.

Those of us who want everything 263 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,840 God has for us. If any of you have something 264 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,960 else in mind, something less than total commitment, gotta 265 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,600 clear it. Clear your vision. 266 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,520 You'll see it yet.

I used to. 271 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,360 I used to do a little bit. Some of y'all don't know what 272 00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:17,720 that is. Y'all think I'm running track, 273 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,040 But no, that's double Dutch, right? 274 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,000 You got it.

Keep track of those you see 277 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,920 running this same race. Man, you got to get to a point 278 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,480 where you OK with people who need you to fulfill their 279 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,920 expectations, but your call is pulling you a different way than 280 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:58,200 their expectations for them. You have to find the people that 281 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,160 are running the race you're called to and keep your eyes on 282 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,080 them and keep them close and keep them insight. 283 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,160 Like I got to talk to EJ, I got to, I got to even sometimes the 284 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,680 people that we're discipling, although I'm called to go out 285 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,960 front, even when I look back, I or to the side, I need to see us 286 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,160 moving together. I don't know about you. 287 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,680 I don't I don't take this gift of life cheap. 288 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,040 Sorry. I realize that you don't know 289 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:37,480 about some of y'all, but I buried too many people in high 290 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,960 school. I buried a best friend who was 291 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:45,400 shot with a 12 gauge in his back. 15 years old. 292 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,720 You don't want to be a teenager and a pallbearer. 293 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:02,520 God says who's forgiven much? You, you hear you required, but 294 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,760 no, no, no. Who's giving much? 295 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,760 Much are required, but who's forgiven? 296 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,440 Much? The what? 297 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,000 Love my soul. When you see this shouting, this 298 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,120 praise and this passion, it's because I have a revelation of 299 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:16,520 how much I've been forgiven. Some of you got the stare 300 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,320 effect. The stare. 301 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,440 You stare because you haven't not yet grasp that your little 302 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,200 stanky self would not be here, nor would you have what you got 303 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,920 if it had not been for the blood of Jesus Christ. 304 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,800 And then we stare at the blessing of somebody yelling at 305 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:44,080 us saying come on. And then we don't realize the 306 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,920 blessing of the people that got the capacity to come week after 307 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:53,320 week and say come on. And then God gives them more 308 00:28:53,320 --> 00:29:00,200 capacity to come back another week and say please come on the 309 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:09,520 blessing to have messengers in your life to beg you people that 310 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,600 represent God's faithfulness to reach you. 311 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,040 He says wisdom, it cries out in the street here. 312 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,040 There's a season for wisdom to cry out on the street. 313 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,640 And he says, but one day you're not going to hear that cry no 314 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,640 more. And then you going to be crying 315 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,040 out for wisdom and wisdom won't respond like you didn't. 316 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,080 I want you to understand that's not God. 317 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,120 You ready? That is not God not responding. 318 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:48,080 That's your silent harvest. That's a harvest. 319 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,800 The non response is a harvest. It's not God. 320 00:29:53,560 --> 00:30:00,080 You sold silence. You sold stubbornness, you sowed 321 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,760 pride and then you get a harvest of pride and you like God where 322 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,800 you at? He was like I Remember Remember 323 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,600 that Sunday. I was like PT was sweating 324 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,480 bullets and and they prayed and they was all that pet. 325 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,160 That was my passion. I gave them. 326 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,520 I thank God God put urgent people, people that carried 327 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,920 urgency in my life. You know why you yelling or you 328 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,280 some of you don't move when people talking quiet. 329 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,440 But ain't it funny what kind of person that paved the way for 330 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:48,280 Jesus, John the Baptist, Why Jesus didn't get like some 331 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,240 little quiet person just hey guys, the king is coming. 332 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,720 Prepare either way, please. Please prepare the way. 333 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:06,320 No, he was sending warning shots, he says. 334 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,080 There are many out there taking their other paths. 335 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,720 Choosing other goals and trying to get you to go along with 336 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,360 them. But I press on toward the goal 337 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:26,360 to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ 338 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:34,080 Jesus is calling us forward. When your last breath comes, 339 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:42,080 will you you will you leave footsteps of victory for your 340 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,440 children? If if your children could not 341 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:53,000 listen to a voice message, playback, a tape, read a letter, 342 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:59,680 and all bibles and Bible apps was taken off the planet, could 343 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,480 your could your children find Jesus? 344 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,600 Could your Co workers find Jesus? 345 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:16,840 Could your spouse find Jesus off of how you have lived, not off 346 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:24,080 of what you've said? If you took your voice away from 347 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,560 your life, would your life point to Jesus? 348 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,440 If you took the bumper stickers off and threw out all the 349 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:42,480 Christian T-shirts, would your life be a bumper sticker? 350 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:50,800 Finishing leaves trails and traces of evidence to victory. 351 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,120 You know what that Bible is? Trails. 352 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,520 We saw how Abraham did it. Hebrews 12 says look at how 353 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,640 Jesus did it. It will shoot. 354 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:10,120 This, this, this, this heavenly energy through your veins, this 355 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,000 adrenaline through your veins. When you see how he kept 356 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,960 bouncing back, how he loved his enemies to finish. 357 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,880 We have to apply all the principles from sowing to 358 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:30,960 forgiving, loving, getting back up, endurance to finish. 359 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,760 You need all the fruit of the Spirit. 360 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440 And the fruit of the Spirit has nothing to do with 361 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,800 circumstances, nothing.

So when we can own property and 721 01:00:54,120 --> 01:01:01,480 be the operators of it, then we can provide programming and love 722 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,520 at a rate that's different than the world. 723 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,160 Because the church's bottom line is different. 724 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,920 We're not under the pressure of having the overhead the world is 725 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,960 because they're for profit all through, through and through, 726 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,440 But because we tithe and we offering and we get a lot of 727 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:29,760 volunteer support. The level in which we can 728 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:39,760 provide what we're anointed to give puts us in a position to be 729 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:45,000 essential at a level that's absolutely mind boggling. 730 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,920 That will require the government to look at us and say, hey, 731 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,720 we're going to own this building over here, but we want to give 732 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,000 it to you so you could do your work in it. 733 01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:04,160 Do you know how much, how many properties and empty buildings 734 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:09,040 that the government owns? And they will sit on it until 735 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:15,440 they have need for it? We will enter another COVID, 736 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:25,080 mark my word. Will we be essential? 737 01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:31,640 What the COVID that just happened was light compared to 738 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,880 what's coming down the road. And we go look back and say, oh 739 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,840 man, we should have learned that protesting back then ain't the 740 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:45,200 mission. Fighting each other ain't the 741 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,800 mission. God gave us the seven years to 742 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:53,360 get in position for the seven years of famine and darkness. 743 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,320 And there's going to be some churches that just absolutely go 744 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,520 out. Because they didn't take the 745 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,360 first one to understand what God was really saying. 746 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:10,120 The church's responsibility to dark times is you want to 747 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,320 understand why it's important that we finish this building. 748 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:18,120 Finishing this building going to put us in some rooms, and 749 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,880 there's some other little stuff happened on the side that's 750 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,240 going to put us in some rooms. And God is setting us up to be 751 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:29,800 essential. Finishing validates my scars and 752 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:34,960 brings value to my wounds. My scars on the other side of 753 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:41,600 the finish line are my receipts. My scars don't mean nothing if 754 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:46,760 all my scars did was scar me. A failure is when a person who 755 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:51,400 has failed, fumble, and fallen but haven't been able to cash in 756 01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:56,440 on the experience of that failure get compensated for your 757 01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:57,600 suffering. Why? 758 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:03,960 Jesus did I'll end with this Hebrews 12 looking away from all 759 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:08,320 that would distract to Jesus, who is the leader are you with 760 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:14,600 me and the source of our faith looking away from all that would 761 01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:21,640 distract to who Jesus who is the what leader and the what source 762 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:26,960 of our faith giving the first incentive for our belief and is 763 01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:32,000 also. It's finisher bringing it to 764 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:37,640 maturity and perfection. You ready, He, for the joy? 765 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:47,400 Joy of obtaining the prize? Let me pause and ask you and see 766 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:54,040 if you see this. Who was the prize for the joy of 767 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,640 obtaining you? He went through the suffering. 768 01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,920 He went through the shame that was set before him. 769 01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:07,280 Look, he endured the cross, despising and ignoring the 770 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:11,480 shame. You ready Like Nehemiah said. 771 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,320 He said I can't come down. I'm not talking to shame. 772 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:26,920 And he's now seated. This brother one place he was in 773 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,960 pain and then he they didn't kill him. 774 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,040 Y'all know that he gave up his spirit. 775 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,400 And the next thing after he gave up his spirit, what did it say? 776 01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:43,280 He rested after he finished, he entered rest. 777 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:47,320 Here's another part. After he finished, he's now 778 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:55,020 seated. What if I told you rest is on 779 01:05:55,020 --> 01:06:01,760 the other side of your finish? This next season is only for the 780 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:06,160 remnant. Might I prophecy to you This 781 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:10,520 next season is only for the remainders. 782 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:16,040 This next season is only for the non fainters. 783 01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:22,240 I hope y'all can catch this. The devil can never finish you 784 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,040 because Jesus has finished your story. 785 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,920 I'm going to read it again. The devil can never finish you 786 01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:41,360 because it is Jesus that has finished your story. 787 01:06:46,780 --> 01:06:54,580 Revelations told us this latter day blessing and empowerment is 788 01:06:54,580 --> 01:06:58,180 for the remnant. Revelations says this. 789 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:10,320 Are your ears awake? Listen to the wind words, the 790 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,880 Spirit blowing through the churches. 791 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:18,160 I'm about to. Call each conqueror. 792 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,680 To dinner. I'm about to come. 793 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,320 I'm about to call each overcomer to dinner. 794 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:34,600 I am about to call each person that is endured to dinner. 795 01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:45,080 I'm spreading a banquet of Tree of Life fruit, a supper plucked 796 01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:59,140 from God's orchard. This church will not be the 797 01:07:59,140 --> 01:08:08,320 Church of Loa, the Sia, the Bible warns that church. 798 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:15,720 And I will say, unfortunately, that we live in Loa to see a we 799 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:24,600 live in the nation where overall the church believers are 800 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:28,560 lukewarm. And when he says he will spew 801 01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:32,399 you out, it simply means he can't use you. 802 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:43,160 Lloyd Low Odyssea is a church he warns us about. 803 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,240 It is a type of church that will be in the last days. 804 01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:53,960 It is a people that depends on themselves and believe getting 805 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:59,240 ahead monetarily is going to be what they need to get everything 806 01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:03,439 he's provided. I'm here to tell a few of you 807 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,479 that we cannot afford to be lukewarm. 808 01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:12,359 You can take this. We cannot afford to be lukewarm. 809 01:09:14,279 --> 01:09:21,120 We do not have time when I hand my baton off I. 810 01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,120 Want. The next generation to be like, 811 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:33,200 because my baton is so hot, I want to hand off a baton that 812 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:48,080 says I can't drop this one. We do not have time to be fake, 813 01:09:49,399 --> 01:09:53,720 lukewarm, excuse making believers. 814 01:09:54,279 --> 01:09:58,000 Malachi 4 warns us and tells us that there will be a great 815 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,200 separation in the last days. And I'm here to tell you that 816 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,320 great separation is not the world from the the world from 817 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,320 the church, because the world is already separated. 818 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:19,000 It is the church separation, real from fake and I love a God 819 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,840 that just draws the line and make it clear if you want to be 820 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,960 lukewarm, here's what you can expect. 821 01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,840 You're unusable. You're only savable. 822 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,960 And when you want to stop being saved and believe you already 823 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,520 are. And when you going to go from 824 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:51,800 saved to used? But I do know we serve the guy 825 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,600 that only need 300. He really only needs one. 826 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,320 So what I am telling you is what God's going to do in this 827 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:08,280 country is not if you join him, what I'm telling you what God is 828 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,760 about to do. He's offering you an opportunity 829 01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,120 to join him. And if not cool, stay on the 830 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,240 sidelines and be a spiritual Leech. 831 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,240 Many are called, few were chosen. 832 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,080 That is not an in just statement. 833 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:36,120 He calls everybody. Only few respond the the the 834 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:37,840 next. Step is not to look at the 835 01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:41,280 obstacles. The next step is to say, God, 836 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,960 whatever I got to do, you going to have to give me strength 837 01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:46,640 because I got this in the way. I got this in the way. 838 01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,120 I'm carrying this and carrying this. 839 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:49,960 Oh, you need me to put this down, cool. 840 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:54,080 You need me to get help, cool. But whatever I got to do, I will 841 01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:58,360 not miss out on this opportunity I want. 842 01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,560 To be in that number, I will be in that number. 843 01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:07,000 And I'm sorry if we're not preaching relationship goals for 844 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:11,640 you. And boy, if you could just fall 845 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:18,720 in love with Jesus. Every relationship, finances, 846 01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,600 yes, we need to be taught in those those things. 847 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:26,680 But man, in this hour the Lord is calling his sons and 848 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:40,220 daughters home with your hands. This is not an apology, but just 849 01:12:40,700 --> 01:12:43,740 what burns in my soul. Guys, I just can't help. 850 01:12:45,580 --> 01:12:51,800 And trust me, it's a burden to be on the front lines saying, 851 01:12:51,800 --> 01:13:00,040 hey, come, I see this in you. God is calling this out of you. 852 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,200 It's your time, it's your family's time. 853 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,600 It's never going to be the right time. 854 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:14,960 The right time is now, and if all God is asking now is one 855 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,040 step, then take one step. That's it. 856 01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:18,960 Just take one. You don't need 10. 857 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:31,920 He's not calling you to leap. He's calling you to step the 858 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:44,880 city, this country, this region needs clear, clear definition of 859 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,440 what it looks to be like. Here we go. 860 01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:50,040 Forget being a Christian, a follower of Jesus. 861 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,680 And there's some of you in here that need to graduate from being 862 01:13:53,680 --> 01:14:02,930 a Christian to a follower. Obedience is the highest form of 863 01:14:02,930 --> 01:14:07,130 love. It's yes, Lord. 864 01:14:07,130 --> 01:14:11,490 He says if you obey me, you love me. 865 01:14:11,490 --> 01:14:16,200 You, you prove your love. You prove your reverence through 866 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:23,480 allowing me to lead you. After all, I've purchased you as 867 01:14:23,480 --> 01:14:28,280 my temple in the earth. So just write where you are. 868 01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:34,280 Allow the Holy Spirit to remind you of what's finished. 869 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,920 I'm here to tell you, son. I'm here to tell you, daughter, 870 01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:44,560 it's finished. I'm even here to tell somebody 871 01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,080 that needs to hear this. You don't need to be afraid of 872 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,880 those old habits. They are under your feet. 873 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:56,320 You ready?

I don't have to worry about 878 01:15:06,480 --> 01:15:09,720 backsliding. I'm actually free from that 879 01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,640 anxiety. I don't have to worry about 880 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:17,920 being overwhelmed by days and days of, of, of anxiety 881 01:15:21,480 --> 01:15:28,800 oppression. He has need of you today. 882 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:41,040 He's saying be united. Come, come, drink from the 883 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:48,080 fountain. Come on all over this room. 884 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:58,060 Just lift your hands.

He's changing the way they used 890 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:23,080 to respond to pressure. Man, there are people rising. 891 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,920 There are people swelling up. There are people that are 892 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:27,200 expanding. Come on. 893 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,720 The Kingdom of God is expanding within you, here and now, here 894 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,640 and now, here and now, here and now. 895 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:47,480 He's here. Come on. 896 01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:52,240 I know there's a world waiting for us to come out there and go 897 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,200 out and eat and do all these things, but man, just take a 898 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:59,480 moment for yourself.
