We're super glad you're joining

5
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,760
you're at in the world. 
Welcome to the family to get 

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,440
your Bibles ready, get some 
water, get some coffee, maybe 

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,680
some tea, and get ready to 
receive. 

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:38,720
Let's get into it. 
Some folks might be like, man, 

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,400
why do we can't we area get to 
the word not to know you don't 

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,880
understand. 
Maybe maybe this moment was some

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,040
for was for some people who 
didn't think they'll make it 

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,880
this far. 
Maybe it was for some people who

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:58,160
didn't think they'll have some 
joy again, but for me, one of 

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,480
the reasons I praise is to put 
the devil back in his place. 

15
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:11,880
Yes, I'm praising my God, but 
it's something about a room full

16
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,360
of people who have a revel. 
See, here's the thing, 

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,600
everybody, they've been through 
something, but not everybody got

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,920
a revelation that they've been 
brought out of something. 

19
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,080
So I love getting around people 
who are unashamed, like any like

20
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,360
like like like like, like, I 
don't know, I don't know where 

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,640
you grew up. 
I don't know none of that. 

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,360
OK. 
But man, there are you need some

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,520
friends that whenever you hit 
them up and say it's time to 

24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:49,240
ride, you need you need some 
friends that when you say, when 

25
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,760
you when you hashtag time to 
ride, they know what's up, 

26
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,120
right? 
I don't, I don't got no time to 

27
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,520
explain what I'm going through, 
but you know, it's time to ride.

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:09,240
All right, listen, listen, 
listen. 

29
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:15,760
No, no, no, no, no, no. 
I'm telling you it's good. 

30
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,240
It's good. 
It's good. 

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,840
See, here's here's what I do 
know is that the enemy, the 

32
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,360
enemy does not want a church 
like this. 

33
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,760
I'm going to just say it. 
I know this is a cuss word for 

34
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,600
some people, but does not want a
church like this to to grow. 

35
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,080
Can you imagine that moment? 
This is why I say some of y'all 

36
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,000
be on YouTube watching these 
moments. 

37
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,960
But in the United States though,
Yeah, yeah, right. 

38
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,840
Because they they they're 
they're aware man, man, I'm 

39
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,200
telling you I'm from that soil. 
They they not just aware, they 

40
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040
just they they're they're 
they're aware that if it had not

41
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,760
been for God, I'd be in prison. 
Woo. 

42
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,520
So when you in a room where 
ain't nobody looking at you 

43
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,800
funny because you praising God, 
No, no, no, no. 

44
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,360
When you in a room where you 
look down the road and somebody 

45
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,840
is you just like, Yep, I feel 
you. 

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,800
She getting her praise on. 
I don't even need to know what's

47
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880
going on. 
But when I look in the audience,

48
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,720
I see somebody crying with tears
of joy. 

49
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:23,640
I'm like, yeah, yeah, they they 
get it. 

50
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:27,040
God has brought them through and
they're grateful right now when 

51
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,600
I see people that's dancing and 
they ain't ain't worried about 

52
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,680
what you think. 
And I'm like, man, they've been 

53
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,200
through something, right? 
And that's why the world 

54
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920
gravitate to the world, because 
the world is real about what 

55
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,920
they're going through. 
We supposed to be the people who

56
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,600
say we going through, but we 
also got a way out. 

57
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,520
The world got more people 
following it because people are 

58
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,160
looking for somebody to say, 
man, you understand where I'm 

59
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,600
going? 
Do you understand what I've been

60
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560
through? 
We come in church and we act 

61
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,760
like we made it, but we're going
through what they going through.

62
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,040
We just trying to act like, no, 
that's just not the Bible I read

63
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,320
guys. 
A lot of our loud are quiet, our

64
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,120
charisma, our non charisma, 
whatever you want to call it, 

65
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,360
it's all cultural. 
It's not Bible. 

66
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,080
So don't act like you're quiet. 
Is is is theology, just like we 

67
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,920
can't act like our our loud is 
theology. 

68
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,880
But I will tell you, you're 
going to see more of us crazy 

69
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,600
people in the Bible then you 
will see put together and and 

70
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,600
calm and collected, right? 
We talking about people, the 

71
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,560
people God made made sure we 
heard about was calling down 

72
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,760
rain. 
What we talking about people who

73
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,040
had lions licking on their face 
and they just sitting there in 

74
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,360
peace, right? 
We talking about a different 

75
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,360
kind of people pull up some 
characters in the Bible and 

76
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,160
don't, don't, don't tell me you 
don't see more folks that are 

77
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:10,520
outward with their faith. 
So this region does not have a 

78
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:17,280
church issue, but I do believe 
certain churches are planted for

79
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,480
certain principalities. 
You see it in sports. 

80
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:29,160
They have matchups. 
You see it in the ocean. 

81
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,600
You don't go in the ocean 
fishing with with bait and and 

82
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960
tell me on fish, tell me lures 
that you do in the river. 

83
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,520
It's match ups. 
So what make you think any 

84
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,360
church can penetrate every level
of darkness? 

85
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,960
It can't. 
That's why God's like it's time 

86
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,280
to ride and what watch this. 
I have come to the point where I

87
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,080
only want to ride with those 
that want to ride. 

88
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,160
So if you don't want to ride, 
sit at the bus stop. 

89
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:18,620
But this bus is going so, so so 
tonight we are going to have a 

90
00:06:18,620 --> 00:06:20,700
special night. 
It's it's coming to me more and 

91
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:22,500
more this morning. 
I announced we had a special 

92
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:27,120
message tonight and we're going 
to be talking about friends 

93
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,080
matter. 
This is going to be revival type

94
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,320
of message. 
You like what is what is friends

95
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,000
got to do with revival? 
Everything. 

96
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,800
That's why you're not 
experiencing it because you're 

97
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,600
friends watch this the people 
you listen to some of y'all 

98
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,360
friends with people that ain't 
friends with you. 

99
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,680
Hallelujah. 
Somebody say help me Jesus. 

100
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,800
Yeah, you out here calling 
somebody a friend and they not 

101
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800
calling you friend. 
Watch this. 

102
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,400
You out here following people on
Instagram that they don't even 

103
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,520
know you, don't care about you 
and ain't followed you back, but

104
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,960
they got a voice in your life. 
Watch this. 

105
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,520
We're called to love everybody. 
Not everybody gets access. 

106
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360
I said it this morning, one of 
the biggest leadership regrets I

107
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,360
have in my life is I gave too 
many people access to my heart. 

108
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,280
That is not Bible. 
God, Jesus, angels didn't ask me

109
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:35,580
to do that. 
And that is a biblical pattern 

110
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:38,020
shown to us by our Lord and 
Savior Jesus Christ to show us 

111
00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:41,460
how to be human. 
Only three got heart revelation.

112
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:45,060
Not everybody's supposed to know
what you're going through, why 

113
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:47,420
you're going through it. 
Not everybody even deserve your 

114
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:52,460
testimony. 
And you got people out here got 

115
00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:55,020
10 friends. 
How you got 10 friends and even 

116
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:58,840
and it ain't a basketball team. 
Hey, this is not even a sports 

117
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,960
team that you friends with 10 
people, but you just you just 

118
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,800
hang. 
You got that many people And 

119
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,240
then when somebody don't want to
hang out, you got another 

120
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880
friend. 
I promise you, not all of them 

121
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,320
are friends. 
Watch this. 

122
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,520
This is what I learned the other
day. 

123
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,320
Gossip a messy person, even if 
it's your friend is messy. 

124
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Watch this. 
It's just not your turn yet. 

125
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,880
But if you see them messy about 
other people, it's only a matter

126
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,480
of time. 
They're going to be messy about 

127
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:30,360
you it watch this if they betray
other friends, promise you it's 

128
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,320
all it's just not your turn yet.
So you got to identify who's in 

129
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,919
your life for what some people 
watch some of your heartbreak 

130
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:42,520
would not happen if you knew 
they was only in your life for a

131
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:48,240
job opportunity or you would. 
The people here you got some 

132
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,120
friends, you trying to make your
friends and they were called to 

133
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,040
be your mentor. 
So you want your mentor to be 

134
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,920
your friend and your friend to 
be your mentor. 

135
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,280
And you wonder why it don't 
work. 

136
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,680
You don't want your pastor to 
cover you. 

137
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,640
You want your friend to cover 
you because they're a little 

138
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,360
older than you. 
And watch this. 

139
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:11,120
You want your pastor to be your 
friend and you wonder why it's 

140
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,480
don't work. 
You wonder why you got holes in 

141
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:21,940
your soul. 
Tonight we going this is going 

142
00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:24,620
to be revival tonight. 
Watch this because most of our 

143
00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:26,940
wounds is from so-called friends
or family. 

144
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,240
So we dealt with family matters 
tonight. 

145
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,880
I got to give you friends 
matter. 

146
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,960
Watch this. 
Watch this closeness. 

147
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Here's the hook. close does not 
mean covenant. 

148
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,360
And how do I discern the people 
I'm family with because some of 

149
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:53,040
y'all feel obligated to family 
members who God freed you from. 

150
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,240
Here's Jesus, says my Mama, 
Mama, somebody say Mama, you 

151
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:07,560
only got how many Mamas One my 
Mama and my brother and my 

152
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:12,840
sister are only those who do my 
father's will. 

153
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,040
And some of y'all letting people
who don't do the Father's will 

154
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,720
come in between you and the 
person God is calling you to. 

155
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,120
Who do does the Father's will? 
You getting wisdom from people 

156
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,440
who don't do the Father's will 
running from the wisdom from the

157
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,320
people who do do the Father's 
will. 

158
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,560
You all jacked up. 
Somebody look at your neighbors,

159
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:36,720
say you all jacked up, but I'm 
praying for you. 

160
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,160
Come on, you sat by me so I can 
tell you you jacked up. 

161
00:10:54,490 --> 00:10:57,050
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 
no, no, no where. 

162
00:10:57,050 --> 00:11:00,730
Watch this, watch this. 
What if I told you there are 

163
00:11:00,730 --> 00:11:04,050
certain things that can't be 
released in your life because of

164
00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:09,400
who you're associated with? 
Watch this, watch this. 

165
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,200
Abraham was not supposed to 
bring Lot right? 

166
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,320
Some the the people who didn't 
say nothing, they like Lot. 

167
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,440
Who is lot? 
Read your Bible, Read your 

168
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,480
Bible. 
Who is lot? 

169
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,080
Lot brought Jesus. 
I mean Lot brought Abraham or 

170
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:31,000
what? 
Lot of problems right right 

171
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:38,240
right right right right is 
Abraham is looking and God gave 

172
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:49,360
him a promise y'all going to get
pregnant Like OK they get 

173
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:57,480
impatient you start looking 
around OK she like you can go 

174
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,720
ahead and sleep with the maiden.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say

175
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,160
Abraham said. 
Are you sure Abe was like don't 

176
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:17,720
mind if I do Amen. 
Hallelujah mighty woman of God, 

177
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:28,380
look at you. 
Listen, who you around in this 

178
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:35,880
season? 
For some of you it's a matter of

179
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:43,800
life or death. 
Some of you can't heal because 

180
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:51,680
you still around certain voices 
tonight. 

181
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,680
I'm the other part of tonight 
and it's going to start prayer 

182
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:57,360
starts at 6:00. 
If you wasn't here this morning,

183
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:04,040
I'm going to get into a little 
bit but God is God is is he is 

184
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,960
looking for some people he could
set on fire for prayer and I 

185
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,840
started with myself because I 
realized as much as I pray to 

186
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,120
God, I I I'm available to God. 
I am a man of faith. 

187
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,680
I don't necessarily carry watch 
this. 

188
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,320
I don't carry a now, now, now, I
don't know if this is OK for a 

189
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:34,760
pastor to say, but I also 
understand that this role up 

190
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:41,280
here is does not define that 
I've made it, I've perfected it,

191
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,760
nor with my weaknesses. 
I'm really weak. 

192
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,760
So I'm not going to let people's
double standards right you you 

193
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,960
can act up. 
I can't, right? 

194
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,640
You can. 
You can live, you, You could 

195
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,320
drink. 
But if I walked out here with a 

196
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,080
bottle of Hennessy, you'll be 
looking at me like I'm crazy. 

197
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,400
But I realized if I'm honest 
with you, and I have to do this 

198
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,560
because he's doing something new
in me so I can leave the past 

199
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,520
behind, that's what I'm doing by
telling you this. 

200
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,520
I'm leaving the past behind. 
I didn't necessarily carry a 

201
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:31,000
burden to pray. 
And I would say most of you in 

202
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,160
here don't either. 
For some of you, most of your 

203
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,440
prayer life consists of asking 
God for something or you in some

204
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,880
trouble or you need God to 
change something. 

205
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,640
What I do know is God is not 
correcting me for not praying 

206
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,600
because I do feel like the pray 
without ceasing is something I 

207
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,600
do and that word pray without 
ceasing. 

208
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,480
You get this the other day if 
you go research it. 

209
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,200
This ongoing form of prayer is 
is like a prompting. 

210
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,080
It's like I heard this great 
example of it. 

211
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,000
It's like when you you ever 
heard somebody say, man, I've 

212
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,640
been coughing all day. 
Was you like? 

213
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,280
I'm about to pass out just doing
that. 

214
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:38,640
You just like you go on, drink 
some water, watch this. 

215
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:45,480
And then you feel the cough 
prompting you pray without 

216
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,080
ceasing. 
It's being ready to return to 

217
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,760
cough again. 
Some of our prayer lives is like

218
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:06,240
if you felt a cough and you 
went, you ever see somebody 

219
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:12,000
trying to save a sneeze? 
Like don't sneeze, man, just 

220
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,040
sneeze. 
If you ever did that, it hurt. 

221
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,440
It actually hurts your heart. 
Stop for real. 

222
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:34,080
For real. 
That one right there, huh, man? 

223
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,000
The Holy Spirit is here to help 
us pray. 

224
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,520
So when he, you, you at work, 
you're like, oh, I'm at work. 

225
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,480
He didn't ask you to pray out 
loud. 

226
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,920
He just asked you for that 
moment. 

227
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,320
He moves up on you and you walk 
and you in a meeting. 

228
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,680
He didn't ask you to say, excuse
me, guys, the Spirit of the Lord

229
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:01,880
is up on me. 
He didn't ask you to even leave 

230
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,000
the meeting. 
He comes to prompt you. 

231
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,400
He's like, thank you, Jesus, 
Hallelujah, right? 

232
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,520
He didn't ask you to involve 
somebody else in your prayer. 

233
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,119
So tonight we're going to get 
that message. 

234
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,440
I don't know, I got a few more 
minutes. 

235
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,560
Let me get to get get this 
second-half to you guys real 

236
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,160
quick. 
And we're going to come back 

237
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,840
tonight and we're going to 
worship and we're going to pray.

238
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,240
Now perfected is normally for 
equipping our leaders who's who 

239
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,240
decide to serve, who are 
deciding to serve. 

240
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,760
We are going to be having 
perfected until we get in this 

241
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,920
building. 
We are going to make sure those 

242
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,560
that are serving are on the same
page in vision and mission and 

243
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,640
in spirit. 
So perfected is a a time to 

244
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,600
contend for unity around mission
and vision. 

245
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,440
Tonight, I just feel this 
prompting that we need to use 

246
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,200
this night for those who are 
coming to perfect it, but also 

247
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,840
open it up to the church. 
Your pastor is asking you to 

248
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,960
come out. 
Yep. 

249
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Sacrifice. 
Absolutely next level that that 

250
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,720
you read the Bible. 
That's all it is, is that's what

251
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,040
it's about. 
And I promise you, if you read 

252
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,000
your Bible, there's worse stuff 
than coming to church at 6:00 

253
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,600
PM. 
OK, won't, won't be no lions 

254
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,040
here tonight. 
Won't, won't be no fiery furnace

255
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,760
here tonight. 
Wait a minute, it might be a 

256
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,560
fiery furnace in here tonight, 
some prayer furnace up in here 

257
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,480
tonight. 
But for me personally, as your 

258
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,560
pastor, I am. 
If I, I am, I am I, I realize 

259
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,520
that there's been some 
resistance against me. 

260
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:50,640
And I'm not talking about 
people. 

261
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,480
I'm not talking. 
I'm talking about it seems like 

262
00:18:53,480 --> 00:19:00,000
the enemy knows something that 
you are not really aware of. 

263
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,840
At some point you got to pay 
attention and wait a minute. 

264
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,040
I'm being faithful, I'm showing 
up, I'm a good person, I'm 

265
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,200
sewing, I'm doing these, I'm 
doing the things I pray. 

266
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,320
But this just seemed like a 
different level. 

267
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,640
The worst thing is to not detect
when the enemy turns up the fire

268
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,640
to not detect you're. 
So you're saying it's like the 

269
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:28,920
frog in the you, you just so 
content because you've gotten 

270
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:36,040
settled in to not having or to 
having that you're willing to 

271
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,720
leave all kinds of promises on 
the table. 

272
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,960
No, no, no. 
When are you going here? 

273
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,280
To give you example, Jasmine, I 
was thinking about, so I told 

274
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:55,520
you our tents fell and I was 
like, no, no, no, no, I'm not OK

275
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,160
with being in these tents 
another year. 

276
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,560
I don't care. 
Look, look, I don't care if this

277
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,680
is your first month in the tent.
I'm tired of the tent, right? 

278
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,360
But by faith and being grateful,
we like, let's do it. 

279
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,800
But but I don't want another 
tent to fall. 

280
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,720
I, I don't want to mop water. 
I'm grateful for like, like, 

281
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:22,080
like, like, that's not God's 
plan, but you can be. 

282
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,040
You can be so thankful and so in
God's rest. 

283
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:35,480
That you lose your edge in 
prayer because you have you have

284
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,560
settled with what he promised 
just may not show up. 

285
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,040
And I'm watch this and I'm OK 
with it. 

286
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,600
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 
no, no, no no no no. 

287
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,040
Me and my wife, me and my me and
mom was about a week ago or some

288
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,240
we was in Calgary. 
We had a little moment when you 

289
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,240
married, you have moments, OK, 
if you married for 23 years, you

290
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,160
got moments and you get what I'm
saying. 

291
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:04,720
Somebody say moments and and and
me and her I forget what it was,

292
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,760
but we went to bed not talking 
right. 

293
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:14,760
She had a little little attitude
or something and PJ get attitude

294
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,520
sometime. 
OK, OK. 

295
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,920
And I do too. 
Ladies like I hear the ladies 

296
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520
like I bet you do too. 
Like whatever, like Jesus. 

297
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,920
But it was I forget what it was 
and the next day and I forget I 

298
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,680
was I was I was being like 
stubborn, funny though, Like it 

299
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,360
was funny. 
I was I was playing on the 

300
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:43,160
situation and she was like 
Terrance, how long it was about 

301
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,960
like she like, look, my wife are
sick. 

302
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,360
We were coming to the end of our
season in Calgary. 

303
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160
OK. 
And so there was some cleaning 

304
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,720
up and I came out to do my part.
And sometime when you marry, you

305
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560
really think you do more than 
the other person. 

306
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,960
You just do different stuff. 
OK? 

307
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,280
What? 
Watch this. 

308
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,640
There is no such thing as 5050 
in a marriage, OK? 

309
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,160
Stop it. 
It's over. 

310
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,680
Ain't no such thing. 
And that's the problem. 

311
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,680
You when you got married to go 
half. 

312
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:22,200
Ain't no such thing as half. 
OK, OK, thank you. 

313
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,840
So so we were we we it was 
something like she she works 

314
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,040
hard. 
She was cleaning it up and I 

315
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,960
noticed. 
Look, look, look. 

316
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,640
Yo boy. 
I came downstairs. 

317
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,400
She was kind of in the mood. 
I know she was tired. 

318
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,160
I walked up. 
I was like, babe, you need 

319
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,120
something. 
You could she's like, no, I was 

320
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:42,760
like, OK, that's fine. 
I went and washed the dishes. 

321
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,320
I went and did. 
I was like you then you, you 

322
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,640
good, you good, OK. 
And then later or whatever, 

323
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,400
something happened and she said 
something. 

324
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,920
You know, sometimes you'll say 
something. 

325
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,160
You didn't mean to say it that 
way, but the way it came out, I 

326
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,680
can't help but to hear it that 
way. 

327
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,480
Then it was what it was. 
We talked it through. 

328
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,040
And then she I was like, you 
know what? 

329
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:04,040
I'm I'm, I'm over it. 
She was over it. 

330
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:10,560
And watch this. 
We swept it under the rug family

331
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,640
matters. 
We swept it under the rug next 

332
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,160
day. 
Watch this. 

333
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:21,760
We both good how she was raised 
how I was raised, which could be

334
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,560
a problem. 
We all we talked about 

335
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:30,360
everything like everything. 
OK, so we we balance each other 

336
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,480
out in that way. 
It's always something in the day

337
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,400
happened. 
And I was like, baby, you need 

338
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,200
me to do anything. 
And she said, OK, Terrence, when

339
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,800
you're going to stop or whatever
it was. 

340
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,600
It was, it was a cute moment. 
And then I took like 10 minutes 

341
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,160
and I said, look, this is what 
was going on. 

342
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,400
And I know how you work. 
I know how I work. 

343
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,960
But I want to work through this 
because we should never go to 

344
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,600
bed like this. 
We should never go to bed like 

345
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200
that. 
Here's how we should 

346
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,920
communicate. 
She asked the valid question. 

347
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,400
So when is it? 
When is it over? 

348
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,880
When is it resolved? 
And then we talked about it and 

349
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,600
then it was over and we moved on
Here. 

350
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Here's what it here. 
Here's where you tie this in. 

351
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:21,360
I we, we are contending for the 
marriage God promised what the 

352
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:28,960
little bickers that go unchecked
add up The the, the how you talk

353
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,040
to me, but I'm cool. 
I brushed it off. 

354
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,840
You're developing A hardness to 
deal. 

355
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,160
Now you're changing versus 
speaking up and saying no, 

356
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,880
that's not allowed in our house.
We can't talk to each other like

357
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:41,800
that. 
My bad. 

358
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,720
How can I, how can I get this 
from you and how can I 

359
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,440
communicate in a way where you 
don't? 

360
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:52,960
You don't sound like this. 
We're contending for what God 

361
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,200
promised and what I'm saying for
some of you, you're not checking

362
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,240
the pattern, you're not checking
the enemy. 

363
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,320
Some stuff ain't the devil in 
2026. 

364
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:14,680
It is the pattern the devil set 
in 19 O 6 Devil been done with 

365
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,600
your family. 
He just put you on cycle and 

366
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,840
nobody in your family is 
breaking it. 

367
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,400
We're just making excuses of who
fault it is. 

368
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,120
What I'm telling you is the same
thing in prayer. 

369
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,960
When are you going to get a umph
about not another day with the 

370
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,440
frogs? 
Not another day in my house, not

371
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,080
another day with my find it, not
another day with my marriage, 

372
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:49,000
not another day, not another day
It's it's it's got to stop. 

373
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,320
So then I was just like no and 
God watch this. 

374
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:02,000
God will allow you to walk in 
circles until you mad about 

375
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,200
walking in circles. 
Watch this. 

376
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,960
The truth of the matter is the 
children of Israel got 

377
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:18,720
comfortable wandering. 
Some of y'all don't mind 

378
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:26,640
wandering. 
I will tell you, those that have

379
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:33,920
ears to hear your Nets will only
be reached through this next 

380
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,120
dimension of prayer that we're 
pressing into today. 

381
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,120
No, no, no, no, he won't change.
They, they, they not coming 

382
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:50,360
home. 
God is looking in the earth for 

383
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,920
somebody that will intercede, 
stand in the gap. 

384
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,920
He said, can you not watch with 
me for one hour? 

385
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,640
He didn't say can you watch with
me for a lifetime? 

386
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,960
Can you watch with me for a 
month? 

387
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,920
He didn't say, can you watch 
with me for a day? 

388
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,680
He didn't even say, can you 
watch with me all day? 

389
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,720
He said one hour. 
And I think a lot of you in here

390
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,320
pray to the hour. 
You don't pray through the hour.

391
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,440
And that's why we're talking 
today. 

392
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,680
Through it, pray through it. 
This is what Jacob said. 

393
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,440
I'm not letting go until you 
bless me. 

394
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,360
He said, I'm praying through it.
Somebody say through it. 

395
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:40,200
Luke 11 One, they see him 
praying, the disciples see him 

396
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,400
praying. 
And they say, teach us how to 

397
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,760
pray. 
Somebody say teach us how to 

398
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,840
pray. 
They're they're, they're a part 

399
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,440
of Jewish customs. 
Watch this guys. 

400
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,600
Watch this. 
They prayed. 

401
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,560
So they weren't asking teach me 
how to pray because we don't 

402
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:05,960
pray. 
Teach me how to pray so I can 

403
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,800
live in power. 
They saw Jesus got results. 

404
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,520
They saw when Jesus stepped on 
the scene, peace also stepped on

405
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,120
the scene. 
Some of y'all pray but when you 

406
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:26,440
step on the scene chaos show up.
Lord teach us how to pray so 

407
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,520
that we are not overshadowed by 
anxiety. 

408
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,360
What what is overshadowing you? 
Whatever overshadows you, you 

409
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:41,160
will release. 
They said Jesus you, you getting

410
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,600
results, blind eyes open when 
you pray and watch this. 

411
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,160
Some of y'all in here think that
miracles are done because that's

412
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,640
what Jesus did. 
Well he said those that believe 

413
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,960
they shall cast out demons lay 
hands on the sick and the sick 

414
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:04,160
shall what recover. 
Why we don't see that today? 

415
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,040
How many times you've been at a 
family dinner and you left a 

416
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,040
family member sick? 
Watch this. 

417
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,920
Watch this. 
I'm talking about the level of 

418
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,720
prayer that it grieves you to 
see somebody that need prayer 

419
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,240
and you can't leave without 
praying for them. 

420
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400
OK, OK, OK, OK. 
OK. 

421
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,440
How how, how, how did you sit 
there with your auntie? 

422
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,840
How did you sit there with your 
uncle? 

423
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,360
How did you sit there with your 
Mama? 

424
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,880
How did you go out to dinner 
with that friend knowing they 

425
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,960
sick, knowing they need prayer 
and you didn't pray for them? 

426
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:49,920
Don't tell me you pray, because 
the burden of prayer is for 

427
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:57,760
everywhere and everybody that 
need prayer, right Prayer, the 

428
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:03,200
burden of prayer is like a high 
end restaurant that won't let 

429
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,080
your cup touch empty. 
I'm not I'm not talking about 

430
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,560
the little broke restaurants 
where your cup you like where 

431
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,160
they at? 
I need some water. 

432
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,040
No, I'm talking about a a nice 
restaurant where your cup get 

433
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,320
down and they they right there, 
they right there, they they, 

434
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,160
they right there. 
That's what prayer is. 

435
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,560
You're not going to come around 
me and stay the same. 

436
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,840
At bare minimum, your insides 
going to start shifting. 

437
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,080
So they like teach us how to 
pray because watch this, watch 

438
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,520
this. 
I'm about to ask you a very 

439
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,360
sobering question. 
When are you going to be tired 

440
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:52,760
of being a powerless Christian? 
When you're going to be tired of

441
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:58,520
not being able to overcome that?
Some of you overcome stuff 

442
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:04,240
because it passed things. 
Passing is not you overcoming 

443
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,680
it. 
It just passed and some of y'all

444
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,560
waiting for it to pass versus 
conquering. 

445
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,000
Bible says I'm more than a 
conqueror. 

446
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,000
Conquerors don't wait for it to 
pass. 

447
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:29,800
They take it by force. 
You ask if I asked us to pray if

448
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,240
I asked us to pray right now and
you notice sometimes we're going

449
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,760
to be like pray for two minutes 
and then ten nine because then 

450
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,800
some people shows me like praise
God, we almost done. 

451
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,840
I just said two minutes and you 
excited about the watch this you

452
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:49,400
excited about the countdown and 
willing to leave without the 

453
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,240
results. 
Yeah. 

454
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,480
I, I, I get to see it y'all 
y'all just y'all look at 

455
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,760
everybody head. 
I look at everybody face. 

456
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,800
We ask people to pray and within
60 seconds folks is done. 

457
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,280
That don't burden you that you 
actually don't know how to talk 

458
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,240
to God. 
Wait a minute. 

459
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,080
You gave your life to a savior 
you don't even know how to talk 

460
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:21,040
to where we at today? 
That don't bother you that that 

461
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,160
don't bother you That you are a 
part of a religion. 

462
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,200
You don't even know the leader. 
So what you what you a partner? 

463
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,440
At least some of these other 
religions, they man, they 5:00 

464
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,000
watch this whenever Ramadan come
around, watch this. 

465
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,640
I see people walking around, 
walking. 

466
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Man, that place is packed. 
Watch this. 

467
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,800
No, no, no condemnation, just 
conviction. 

468
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,160
We call for prayer and you get 
the same 25 people show up. 

469
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,280
Where you at? 
Where you at? 

470
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:01,040
And you like I'm believing for 
this, but I paid this price. 

471
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,000
You, you don't want to have to 
party. 

472
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,720
That's jealous of everybody who 
paid for VIP tickets. 

473
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,120
Watch this. 
You, the person trying to get a 

474
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,480
deal. 
You can't get a deal on a 

475
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,880
miracle. 
It costs. 

476
00:33:28,550 --> 00:33:30,670
When you forget, you fall 
asleep. 

477
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:36,920
Remembrance fuels a vibrant 
prayer life and I said I'm tired

478
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,320
of settling for crumbs when God 
promised me the whole loaf. 

479
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,720
I'm not settling for sprinkles 
when He promised me showers. 

480
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,600
I'm not settling for healing 
when He promised me wholeness. 

481
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,040
I'm not settling for manna when 
He promised the land that flows 

482
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,720
with milk and honey. 
I'm not settling because the 

483
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,720
truth is I'm fed up and it's OK 
to get to that place. 

484
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,000
No, I thought I was going to be 
further along. 

485
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,360
We'll do something about it. 
Watch this. 

486
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,600
It ain't apply for another job. 
It ain't worth more hours. 

487
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:16,159
The answer ain't a diploma. 
What if the answer was prayer? 

488
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,800
A diploma? 
Not going to fix it. 

489
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:27,040
A husband ain't going to fix it.
We trying? 

490
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,760
We like the woman with the issue
of blood. 

491
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:40,320
She tried everything, none 
better until she tried the one. 

492
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,719
I am here to challenge every 
person in here today. 

493
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,199
We all probably got a prayer 
issue. 

494
00:34:59,060 --> 00:35:04,220
This next hour is going to 
require us to dig like never 

495
00:35:04,220 --> 00:35:08,840
before. 
You can have a prayer life and 

496
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,080
still not have a powerful life. 
And I don't know about you. 

497
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,520
I'm too competitive to not live 
with some power in my life. 

498
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,680
I'm too competitive to let the 
devil just keep on getting over 

499
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,480
on me or getting over on my 
family. 

500
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,680
No, I'm too competitive to watch
a cousin who on their way to 

501
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,920
hell and I'm not going to fast 
for him. 

502
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,720
What? 
Watch this, watch this. 

503
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,680
I asked the question a minute 
ago is how long you going to go 

504
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,160
live in a powerless Christian 
life? 

505
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,240
Watch this. 
How long you going to go not 

506
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:44,040
doing something about your 
family members going to hell. 

507
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,400
I'm sorry. 
You can't just let them die and 

508
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,600
be like, I gotta gotta gotta 
balance it out. 

509
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,520
No, no, no, no. 
It's clear there's a hell and 

510
00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:02,840
there's a heaven and some of 
y'all got family on the way and 

511
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,000
you OK with it? 
Watch this. 

512
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:12,240
And you say you love them. 
I'm here to let you know it's 

513
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:17,080
not God's love. 
It's a form of love. 

514
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,680
It's not God's love. 
You don't get high with your 

515
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:25,360
cousins and pray for them. 
You don't hope God save them, 

516
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,080
but you get high with them. 
That's not love. 

517
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:40,880
That's not God's love. 
Tonight I'm praying for the 

518
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:46,040
burden to pray to where I just 
can't help it. 

519
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Like like, like, no, no, I'm 
talking about and I'm not 

520
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,280
talking about no little, no 
little Jesus wet prayer. 

521
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:57,080
Now, a lot of words don't mean 
you're being effective in 

522
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,480
prayer. 
Not going to talk about that 

523
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,160
right now, but he he warned us 
about many words. 

524
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,560
Watch this. 
This is why you got a heavenly 

525
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,320
prayer language. 
And This is why you got the 

526
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,880
Bible, because there comes a 
point when you run out of your 

527
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,480
words. 
You pray the Word, you put your 

528
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,720
emotions in the Word. 
Some of us only got 10 minute 

529
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:18,680
prayer life because we're done 
talking ourselves. 

530
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:26,000
Jesus gives us structure and 
then tells us about a woman in 

531
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:33,320
Luke 18 who kept bugging and 
bothering an unjust judge who 

532
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:39,520
had no honor for God or man. 
But he said if I don't stop and 

533
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,280
bless her, then she going to 
keep bugging me. 

534
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,480
And that's the standard of 
prayer is we do not let up. 

535
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:53,680
We lock jaws in our prayer and 
we do not let go until we see 

536
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,600
the result we are believing for.
Watch this. 

537
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,960
We're not talking about begging,
see, because even when I talk 

538
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,600
about passionate prayer, fervent
prayer, resilient prayer, 

539
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,200
diligence and prayer, you almost
got a wild imagination. 

540
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,840
Like that's just wild. 
Watch this. 

541
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,800
You also got, when I say prayer 
warrior, you also got a type of 

542
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,200
people who are prayer warriors. 
Like you think Elder John and 

543
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,080
Elder Roseanne, like around that
age, around like that people, 

544
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,040
those are prayer warriors. 
So you going to wait until they 

545
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,680
age to lock? 
Lock in? 

546
00:38:37,620 --> 00:38:40,420
The greatest threat to your 
prayer life is not the devil. 

547
00:38:40,420 --> 00:38:46,100
It's discouragement, deferred 
hope and distraction. 

548
00:38:46,660 --> 00:38:50,100
Because if the enemy can't stop 
God from answering the prayer, 

549
00:38:50,260 --> 00:38:52,340
He will try to stop you from 
asking. 

550
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:58,460
Can I help somebody? 
He will try to stop you from 

551
00:38:58,460 --> 00:39:00,360
asking. 
Watch this. 

552
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,840
And we're asking for stuff that 
we actually really don't care 

553
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,880
about instead of asking for the 
things that will change 

554
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,480
generations forever. 
No, no, no. 

555
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,720
I need to war for this building.
Watch this. 

556
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,600
The war is either going to get 
us in or the war is going to get

557
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,720
God to say Nah. 
Watch this. 

558
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,480
Abraham. 
I provided A sacrifice. 

559
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:26,320
Thank you. 
Now I know, but to sit back and 

560
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,480
just be like man, no, we going 
no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 

561
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,960
I'm not going to see another 
fall in these tents. 

562
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,080
Now watch this. 
We're doing everything. 

563
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,600
Watch this. 
We are doing everything that we 

564
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,400
are supposed to do. 
Watch this. 

565
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,240
What I do believe in God is 
showing us is this building, if 

566
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:49,840
you understood the history of 
this building, the history of 

567
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:54,120
this community, this is a 
community and a building that 

568
00:39:54,120 --> 00:40:00,720
the devil and all of hell does 
not want to see happen now. 

569
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,240
Now the wait is worth it because
we're discovering a lot of stuff

570
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:07,160
and we're getting things right 
to go through the ribbon. 

571
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,240
So the the the weight. 
And delay is not like, oh, we 

572
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,040
need we don't got no money or 
oh, you guys did something that 

573
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,880
no, no, no, this is we are 
discovering some things so that 

574
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:29,240
we can build God's house, right.
But I'm like, you can sit back 

575
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:30,600
and just be like God gonna do 
it. 

576
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,600
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 
to get through the ribbon when 

577
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:41,280
you cramping you in a race and 
you cramping you ever see them 

578
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,040
inspirational. 
You know about this able a 

579
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,280
little bit and you know, I mean 
you, you would like superstar, 

580
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,560
though you don't cramp you just 
like you just walk through the 

581
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:54,840
finish line like this, right. 
But folks like that kind. 

582
00:40:54,840 --> 00:41:01,040
That's what prayer looks like 
when you see them people, you 

583
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,480
know they didn't do this. 
Oh, forget that. 

584
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:21,240
Yeah, I need those people that 
that watch this that we going to

585
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,160
get through the ribbon before I 
get you some water. 

586
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,760
You notice they didn't pick them
up while they it's going to be 

587
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,080
OK. 
You only got a few more miles 

588
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,000
now to let me know if you don't 
want to get up and finish. 

589
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,440
We don't got to finish while 
cramping. 

590
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,080
Pick me up and carry me through.
Watch this. 

591
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:44,480
What's crazy? 
Same thing happened to Jesus. 

592
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,280
Jesus didn't say you know what? 
You, you go to the cross for me.

593
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,560
So through it, through it. 
Prayer means to pray through the

594
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:10,440
silence when you don't hear God.
Pray through the delay, pray 

595
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,840
through the frustration, pray 
through disappointment, pray 

596
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,480
through fatigue, and pray 
through confusion. 

597
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,480
Pray through it. 
Some things do not break when 

598
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,680
you pray. 
Once they break when you refuse 

599
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:32,480
to stop. 
Where is it that you feel 

600
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:37,560
resistance and where is it that 
you feel hope slipping? 

601
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,960
Where did you forget? 
God promised that you were 

602
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,400
supposed to get that? 
Where did you forget or get 

603
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,320
weary or stop praying that God 
promised you that that family 

604
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,520
member was going to get sober? 
Where did you stop praying and 

605
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,960
being intense about the moment 
about your family or your Co 

606
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,040
worker that God said he was 
going to heal? 

607
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,760
Where did you just let up? 
Hope has deferred. 

608
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,960
You do not get quiet. 
You do not stop. 

609
00:43:10,380 --> 00:43:11,860
Somebody say God I will not 
stop. 

610
00:43:14,860 --> 00:43:17,920
We need to pray without ceasing.
You're going to have to write 

611
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,680
fast. 
I'm equipping you. 

612
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,480
We have to pray without ceasing.
That word without ceasing means 

613
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,160
continual, reoccurring and 
rhythmic return. 

614
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,920
There is a rhythm in your 
responding to God. 

615
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,560
You do not pray when you're in 
trouble alone. 

616
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,760
Prayer without ceasing is not 
constant words. 

617
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:51,520
Hear it, please. 
It is constant return #2 We need

618
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,440
effective fervent prayer. 
Yes, it's in the Bible. 

619
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,640
Effective fervent prayer, The 
effective fervent prayer of a 

620
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,480
righteous man or woman. 
Avails. 

621
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,320
Must somebody say avails? 
Watch this. 

622
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:09,680
This is the same word. 
Effective fervent means energy. 

623
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:17,840
Oh, it means active, operative 
working, energized and producing

624
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:23,200
effect prayer. 
Like I'm not just quiet around 

625
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,760
here. 
I'm not just sitting here trying

626
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,640
to be cute. 
The enemy got my child. 

627
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,160
The enemy got my spouse. 
The enemy got my fine. 

628
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,040
The enemy. 
Come on. 

629
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,560
No, Like when you going to have 
a generational grip on what you 

630
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,920
what you believe in for a 
generational grip on what you 

631
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,160
believe in for realizing if you 
don't pray, your children is 

632
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,760
going to have to deal with some 
stuff. 

633
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,760
Lord, man, I was in the back. 
I I am asking Lord if there's 

634
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,760
ever a way and I believe it's a 
prayer in my heart and I'm 

635
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,040
praying it right now. 
Lord, I want the same man of 

636
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:04,200
prayer my grandmama had. 
There it is. 

637
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,000
Watch this. 
The prayer mantle ain't far from

638
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:17,560
you. 
My, my, my, my grandma be up at 

639
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,680
3:00 in the morning on her knees
3 in the morning. 

640
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,440
I'm gonna pray, but I'm be in 
the bed on my back. 

641
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,600
We laughing, but but that 
posture got her son off crack 

642
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:41,440
cocaine. 
That that posture got a 

643
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,400
daughter. 
My mom, my Mama got kicked out 

644
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,040
my mom. 
Even if you watching, it's a 

645
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,320
testimony, mom, it's a testimony
and more young or more women, 

646
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,280
young people need to hear this 
testimony. 

647
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,680
My Mama got kicked out of 
school. 

648
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,200
She was a fighter. 
My Mama used to throw them 

649
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,800
things all the time. 
My Mama, my Mama, you know, but 

650
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,280
I look back, you know, my my mom
used to throw them things. 

651
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,520
My mom, my mom would be she, 
she's a fighter. 

652
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,160
And what I realized is, Grandma,
you don't have somebody like 

653
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,520
that's praying like that. 
Where's Uncle Willy if Grandma 

654
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,240
don't pray like that? 
Watch this. 

655
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,080
Here's what y'all don't get. 
Where am I if Uncle Willy don't 

656
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:26,720
get off crack? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

657
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:30,400
Uncle Willy got me here. 
So if Uncle Willy don't get 

658
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,200
sober, I I don't get here. 
Watch. 

659
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,400
It's easy to be well, God. 
God is God, so he could do 

660
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:38,400
whatever. 
No, no, no. 

661
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,400
That's where you mistake it. 
If, if that they don't try to 

662
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,880
take the special out of God. 
God's moving. 

663
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,640
No, no, no. 
If Uncle Willie didn't make it, 

664
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,040
I wouldn't have got here. 
Uncle Willie had to get sober 

665
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:55,760
and Grandma had to intercede for
Uncle Willie and Uncle Willie 

666
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,840
had to go 1st and I had to come 
visit Uncle Willie and in order 

667
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,480
to get on this land and for in 
order for God to talk to me and 

668
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:09,000
here we are, somebody had to get
saved in order to minister to 

669
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,560
Billy Graham. 
Do you see how this work? 

670
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:19,000
You got to get where you are to 
get because somebody is going to

671
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,720
be at that bus stop if you show 
up or not. 

672
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:37,360
Active results and somebody say 
avails much. 

673
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,960
This is the key. 
Can you be honest with yourself?

674
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,360
How often have you seen your 
prayers avail much? 

675
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:53,000
Be honest, Watch this. 
Some of y'all ain't never prayed

676
00:47:53,000 --> 00:48:08,200
for a sick person. 
And the healer lives in you and 

677
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,160
all he's asking you asking you 
for is your faith in your 

678
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:16,760
persistence avails much means to
be strong, to prevail, to have 

679
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,640
force and to overcome 
resistance. 

680
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,760
We're talking about Elder John, 
a people that avail in prayer 

681
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:31,680
that do not do not give up when 
encountering resistance. 

682
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:43,160
The actively working prayer of a
righteous person has great power

683
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,880
and prevails. 
Somebody say great power. 

684
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:55,280
Power is not in prayer, you say.
It is in prayer that is working.

685
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,600
It is in prayer that is working.
So you could pray, but what does

686
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,720
your actions look like? 
Are you you praying for healing?

687
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,600
But has your diet lined up with 
the healing you believe in for 

688
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,760
you praying for your spouse, but
have you started talking to them

689
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:25,570
differently? 
The kindness of God brings men 

690
00:49:25,570 --> 00:49:32,490
to repentance. 
Power is not in prayer, you say,

691
00:49:32,490 --> 00:49:35,290
It's in prayer that is working. 
I'll leave you right here. 

692
00:49:35,290 --> 00:49:38,290
James ties this thought into 
Elijah. 

693
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:44,840
He prayed and it didn't rain. 
He prayed and it did rain. 

694
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:52,680
That's a bad boy right there. 
James 5/17/18 Bible says Elijah 

695
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:58,640
was a man with a nature like 
ours and he prayed earnestly 

696
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,840
that it would not rain. 
Do you know how bad you got to 

697
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,720
want it to not rain and pray and
it don't rain? 

698
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,000
See. 
See, this is the part we don't 

699
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,280
understand. 
Danny is back then rain and not 

700
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:19,280
rain was everything. 
Not rain leads to drought and 

701
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,440
famine, which mean unemployment 
and starvation. 

702
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:31,250
And it did not rain. 
And he prayed. 

703
00:50:31,250 --> 00:50:36,010
Somebody say again. 
And the heaven gave rain. 

704
00:50:36,330 --> 00:50:39,930
Elijah didn't just pray once, he
stayed in it. 

705
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,600
It wasn't a moment of prayer, it
was a posture of persistence. 

706
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,560
Effectual fervent prayer is 
through it, prayer through it, 

707
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:53,320
prayer through it. 
Prayer because it keeps working.

708
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,160
It keeps pressing, and it keeps 
engaging. 

709
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,440
If your prayer is not working, 
it's because you stopped before 

710
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:08,600
it did. 
Write this down Gates of hell, 

711
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:23,340
gates of hell gates. 
Now I'm looking for some people 

712
00:51:23,340 --> 00:51:24,620
going to finish this real 
strong. 

713
00:51:24,620 --> 00:51:27,500
I got I got about 5 people 
that's ready to finish this real

714
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:31,060
strong case Gates, gates, gates.
Somebody say gates. 

715
00:51:31,940 --> 00:51:40,860
Gates represents places of 
authority, places of counsel, 

716
00:51:41,780 --> 00:51:47,040
and places of decision making. 
OK, we're we're we're, we're 

717
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:52,280
ripping from the Scripture. 
And the gates of hell shall not 

718
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,600
prevail against them. 
Who is them? 

719
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:58,560
The ecclesia. 
Who is the ecclesia? 

720
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,200
The church? 
Who's the church? 

721
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:06,040
Us, you. 
The gates of hell shall not 

722
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,920
prevail. 
So watch this if I'm 

723
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:15,800
experiencing resistance, Troy, 
it is not for me to pray the 

724
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,960
devil off because this is not 
what the scripture says. 

725
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,680
The gates of hell shall not 
prevail, which means the the 

726
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,360
gates of hell is trying to keep 
me out. 

727
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,360
But I've got the power to get 
in. 

728
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:38,320
And God said it is a call to go 
in more than it is for the devil

729
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:46,520
to let go. 
Gates are not weapons. 

730
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:56,670
Gates are defensive structures. 
You with me? 

731
00:52:57,550 --> 00:53:00,990
Somebody say gates, Somebody say
hell. 

732
00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:10,400
It is the realm of death, domain
of darkness, the system opposed 

733
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,480
to God's Kingdom, the gates of 
hell. 

734
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,560
Whatever is resisting what God 
has promised in your life, 

735
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,880
whatever is resisting what God 
is trying to get through your 

736
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:28,320
life, whatever is resisting 
whatever God is trying to get to

737
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:33,360
your life. 
So this is everything the 

738
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:38,400
authority, the gates of hell 
means the authority structures 

739
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,600
of darkness. 
Watch this, the authority 

740
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:46,120
structures. 
Here's how the devil gets us, 

741
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,160
Laura. 
He has built been building 

742
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:56,120
structures in our bloodline. 
So you not about to just pray 

743
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,600
the devil away. 
He been gone. 

744
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:07,200
His structure is still in the 
bloodline, so This is why all he

745
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:12,160
banks on is keep the structure. 
They'll inherit behavior and 

746
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:16,720
then that behavior automatically
gives access to the structure. 

747
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,600
So it's no way I can overcome 
without being transformed 

748
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,800
because his structures are 
designed for inherited patterns 

749
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:37,120
and behavior. 
So, Yep, grew up with alcohol in

750
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,000
my house. 
Yep, I didn't. 

751
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,040
But Yep, somebody in here did. 
Yep. 

752
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,920
And you like, nothing wrong with
it. 

753
00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:45,680
I got a job. 
I'm a good person. 

754
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:51,200
OK, well, guess what you do got 
to your bloodline, still 

755
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,680
structures. 
And so you good. 

756
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,760
But your kids or your grandkids,
guess what? 

757
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:06,360
Because the structure's still in
the bloodline, Yosef becomes 

758
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,280
their addiction. 
I'm just saying, who in the 

759
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,200
bloodline going to carry that 
cross for the bloodline? 

760
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,520
Who who going to put The Who 
going to put the weed down? 

761
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,560
Who going, who going, who going 
to do this and close it? 

762
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,640
And you know what? 
I, I, I'm not good for computers

763
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,640
because every time I get a 
computer, I got to deal with the

764
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,720
temptation that I don't need to 
deal with. 

765
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,040
So for the next year I'm fasting
from computers. 

766
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,800
But how am I going to live 
without a computer? 

767
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,560
How did they live without 
computers? 

768
00:55:45,210 --> 00:55:49,810
So here we go, prevail. 
This is what we want to get to 

769
00:55:50,010 --> 00:55:51,850
prevail. 
Somebody say prevail. 

770
00:55:54,170 --> 00:56:00,330
The gates of hell shall not 
prevail, meaning overpower 

771
00:56:00,690 --> 00:56:03,970
dominate to withstand 
successfully. 

772
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,480
So here's how it reads. 
The authority structures of 

773
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:13,640
darkness will not overpower, 
withstand or stop our church. 

774
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:18,240
Your family, your bloodline. 
Yeah. 

775
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:23,960
I declare this is not the 
church's surviving attacks. 

776
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,800
Hey, Elder John. 
I'm tired of surviving attacks. 

777
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,320
OK, Watch this. 
Watch this. 

778
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,520
This is not prevailing. 
Is not a surviving attacks. 

779
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,000
Here it is. 
The church is advancing and hell

780
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,600
is trying to hold ground. 
Hell is not advancing on the 

781
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,480
church. 
The church is advancing on hell.

782
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,200
Yeah. 
I'm coming to get my cousin 

783
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,840
back. 
I'm coming to get my Mama back. 

784
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,000
I'm coming to get my sanity 
back. 

785
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:51,760
I'm coming to get my strength 
back. 

786
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,680
I I'm coming to get my joy back.
I'm coming. 

787
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:55,480
I'm coming. 
I'm coming. 

788
00:56:55,480 --> 00:57:02,840
I'm coming to get it back. 
Prayer is how the church applies

789
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,840
pressure to the gates. 
The gates of hell are not 

790
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,360
chasing you, they are resisting 
you. 

791
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,520
Watch this. 
The devil ain't really messing 

792
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:21,040
with your family, he's actually 
resisting you. 

793
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,480
Hell is not trying to attack 
your life randomly, it is trying

794
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,080
to hold territory that belongs 
to you. 

795
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:33,160
Troy that belongs to you, 
Jasmine, that belongs to UC on. 

796
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:37,840
And prayer is how we push back 
darkness until it cannot hold 

797
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:42,640
its ground any longer. 
Hell doesn't fear attendance, it

798
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,840
fears authority. 
The church doesn't win by 

799
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,760
gathering, it wins by governing.
If the gates are still standing,

800
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,760
it's not because God is weak, 
it's because the church stopped 

801
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:59,080
pushing. 
Breakthrough is not God 

802
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,680
deciding, it's the church 
advancing. 

803
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,720
What if I told you God has 
nothing else to decide about 

804
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:12,760
your life? 
What? 

805
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,760
Watch this. 
God's not thinking about your 

806
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,240
future. 
He planned it. 

807
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,800
What are you talking about 
there? 

808
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:23,200
There's nothing for him to think
of. 

809
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,680
He's not worried about your 
future. 

810
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,920
There's an expected end. 
If you don't reach somewhere 

811
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,240
He's called you to reach, That's
on you, not him. 

812
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,680
Watch this. 
That's on you, not the devil. 

813
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,640
The devil's not that powerful to
keep you out of God's promised 

814
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,680
land. 
We read it over and over in the 

815
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,840
Bible how much the enemy tried. 
He tried to stop the Angel from 

816
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,680
delivering to Daniel and that. 
And the Angel comes and says, 

817
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,400
Daniel, I'm glad you did not 
stop. 

818
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,800
What praying? 
I heard you on the first day, 

819
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:05,720
but you kept praying. 
You did not stop heard you on 

820
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,880
the first day, but there was 
some principalities that was in 

821
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:14,680
the way warring because the 
enemy knows that when the 

822
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,960
blessing comes, it changes 
everything. 

823
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:24,760
I just need a few people. 
You know what here's here's we 

824
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,120
going to show our hunger 
tonight. 

825
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:33,560
Church is over. 
It's over. 

826
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,000
We're going to show our hunger 
tonight. 

827
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,280
Yeah. 
Why you end like that? 

828
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,240
Ain't you supposed to end on top
and excited and lead the people?

829
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:41,520
What? 
We're going to finish tonight. 

830
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,840
There's a call tonight for those
that really want their prayer 

831
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,920
life to push through to the next
dimension. 

832
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,080
And you know, you know, you need
prayer. 

833
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:53,800
You know, you need to know how 
to pray. 

834
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,240
Learn how to pray. 
You know, you need power in your

835
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,000
life. 
There's a call tonight. 

836
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:01,000
We're going to pray. 
We're going to worship. 

837
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,680
Watch this. 
I believe the message about 

838
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:10,800
friends goes well together with 
prayer activation. 

839
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,440
Some of y'all don't pray because
you got friends that don't pray 

840
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,560
watch this. 
Some of y'all don't pray because

841
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,200
you got a spouse that don't 
pray. 

842
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:25,920
When I, when I see my wife 
walking around, are you like 

843
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,520
she'll, she'll, she'll take, 
she'll, she'll take Malachi to 

844
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,280
work up to school at 6:00 in the
morning, 5:30 in the morning. 

845
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,360
And she's like, that's my prayer
time on the drive. 

846
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,000
And then she'll come or she'll 
come sometime and put her head 

847
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,600
on the back hand on the back of 
my head. 

848
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,160
And she'll be no, no, no, no, 
no, no. 

849
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:42,800
She'll be praying in the middle 
of the night. 

850
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,240
She'll be praying. 
Or if she can't sleep or if I 

851
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,080
can't sleep, she'll put her hand
on my back. 

852
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,440
She'll be praying, she'll turn 
on some worship music. 

853
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,680
Ain't nothing like having a 
spouse that got a prayer life. 

854
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,640
Yeah, some of y'all don't pray 
because your your spouse don't 

855
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,840
pray. 
And if you and your spouse don't

856
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,240
pray, guess who else don't pray?
Your kids. 

857
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,800
I love it. 
My Mama called Micah the other 

858
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,200
day. 
She said where my prayer partner

859
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,680
at? 
Because when she was here and 

860
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,360
Micah prayed with her, she's 
like, that's my prayer partner 

861
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,320
right there. 
And they promised to pray 

862
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,240
together at least once a month. 
She's still waiting on him to 

863
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:35,990
call her, but that's OK now. 
But she did, she did. 

864
01:01:35,990 --> 01:01:42,790
And they talked the other day. 
And you know, I, I, I believe, I

865
01:01:42,790 --> 01:01:47,830
believe, I believe you bring 
your kids too, because I believe

866
01:01:47,830 --> 01:01:51,350
kids can start watch this. 
They, they prayers might get to 

867
01:01:51,350 --> 01:01:55,750
heaven quicker than yours. 
You got to teach your kids how 

868
01:01:55,750 --> 01:01:58,360
to pray. 
They're going to keep it pure. 

869
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,440
They're going to keep it simple,
straight to the point. 

870
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,240
If family matters, then prayer 
has to matter. 

871
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:15,200
And for me, I even repent 
because my grandmother had 

872
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:21,600
family prayer all the time. 
And my family and I, we pray a 

873
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,280
lot to get, we pray randomly 
like this is not a matter, I 

874
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,240
hope you hear me clearly. 
I'm not saying our family, we 

875
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:32,280
pray a lot together, but it's 
just, I just feel there's a 

876
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,560
difference between we pray 
because we should versus we got 

877
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:41,480
a burden to pray. 
There can't be real authentic 

878
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:47,760
fervor without authentic burden,
because he's not asking us to 

879
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:55,920
pray an emotional prayer. 
And This is why we worship is 

880
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,520
because we're stirring up our 
faith and we're praying from a 

881
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,320
stirred up self. 
This is why your heavenly prayer

882
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,720
language is so powerful. 
Because before you pray one word

883
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,600
in your language, you pray in 
your heavenly prayer language. 

884
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,360
Stir yourself up, and then you 
pray in the Spirit. 

885
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,400
Watch this. 
And praying in the Spirit is not

886
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,200
just praying in tongues. 
Praying in the spirit is giving 

887
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,520
your tongue to what the what 
heaven is saying in the spirit 

888
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,800
realm. 
So tonight we start in prayer at

889
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,280
six. 
We're going to pray, we're going

890
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:34,000
to worship, we're going to pray,
get his word. 

891
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:41,080
Watch this. 
And I believe some people have 

892
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,520
been in some some bad 
relationships. 

893
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,880
I don't know about you, but 
you've been in some bad 

894
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:54,000
relationships. 
Watch this guy's domestic 

895
01:03:54,840 --> 01:04:02,480
biological workspace. 
You've been you've been hurt, 

896
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,920
you've been abused, you've been 
mistreated. 

897
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:14,200
You've been overlooked, and I 
believe God wants to heal us 

898
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:21,640
from relational scars, but first
we got to identify and repent 

899
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,960
for where we've allowed and been
sloppy with the management of 

900
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:35,560
our soul. 
And so tonight at 6:00, we'll be

901
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,040
here. 
Everybody ever heard that you 

902
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,720
can give at church? 
Like give finances at church, 

903
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,000
OK, Amen. 
If you want to give, you can 

904
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,680
give us an opportunity for you. 
We're not going to compel you. 

905
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:52,000
We're not going to beg you. 
We, we, we, we, we, we giving 

906
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,200
this for all of us. 
It's an opportunity. 

907
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,600
It's more better to give than it
is to receive. 

908
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,400
And God takes pride in a 
cheerful giver. 

909
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,560
Anybody know that your church 
does things sometime, right? 

910
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,640
Anybody know your church got an 
Instagram page or we got a 

911
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,400
homecoming? 
We got a little booth back there

912
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,640
and people talk at the booth. 
OK. 

913
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,400
If you want to know what's 
happening that's coming up, if 

914
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:22,520
you really care, go to our 
Instagram, go to the booth and 

915
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,760
ask how many people. 
Ever heard of Easter? 

916
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,600
We we going to have an Easter 
serve. 

917
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,040
We don't need to come on 
Easter's. 

918
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:30,520
We going to have Good Friday, 
too. 

919
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:34,840
OK, Good Friday is yeah. 
Good Friday is happening at 11 

920
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:39,160
AM, 11 AM, OK. 
And then you get it over with 

921
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,520
and then go on about your day, 
OK. 

922
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:50,720
It's going to be a good time we 
have planned for you, but I just

923
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:52,320
want to own fire church. 
We're going to give you 

924
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,480
announcements. 
We going, we going, we going, we

925
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,600
going to do some things, but you
might see some things that we we

926
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,320
we have traditionally done. 
You might see them pause for a 

927
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:04,560
minute because I'm feeling the 
Lord challenging me to lay the 

928
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:08,680
ark down at Obed Edom's house 
until he gives us further 

929
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,280
instructions. 
There's some stuff nowhere we 

930
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,840
get in the habit of doing and 
it's like, why are we still 

931
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,640
doing? 
They don't even they don't even 

932
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,520
like the first time attendee 
song. 

933
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:21,640
No more like the people be 
singing it and then and it's 

934
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,240
just like you just so familiar. 
OK, people don't want to come to

935
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,680
prayer. 
Well, let's stop offering prayer

936
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,960
like people are serving you and 
God is extending opportunities 

937
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,360
for you and like the woman with 
the issue of blood, you try 

938
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:42,320
everything else except what your
church home is offering you. 

939
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,280
You're not just coming to prayer
to learn how to pray for the 

940
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,040
church. 
You coming to prayer to learn 

941
01:06:50,040 --> 01:07:01,840
how to pray for your own house. 
So tonight, what time what we 

942
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:07,160
going to start off doing 
Hallelujah and I'm going to 

943
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,800
leave on this babe my wife. 
Hey, hey, anybody that didn't 

944
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,240
know I got a wife and my wife is
here and the Calgary season. 

945
01:07:30,950 --> 01:07:35,270
You come up for a second like 
people don't understand I was 

946
01:07:35,270 --> 01:07:38,270
explaining this mighty, I was 
explaining this earlier. 

947
01:07:38,590 --> 01:07:41,630
People don't understand the day 
that my wife and I had to 

948
01:07:41,630 --> 01:07:47,040
separate and so you know, I'm 
not, she's not up here because 

949
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,480
we got remarried. 
Like we didn't break up or 

950
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,560
nothing like this, but separate 
houses because she was in 

951
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:57,440
Calgary with our son Malachi. 
And that was almost 2 years. 

952
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:01,760
I was 2024. 
We've traveled more than we ever

953
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,280
have. 
We've had to be without each 

954
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,960
other more than we ever have. 
And a lot of people did not 

955
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,440
understand that. 
The time that we did that, that 

956
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,840
was your time to start praying 
for us, not criticizing what the

957
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,200
enemy was trying to do. 
Because you'll never understand 

958
01:08:17,399 --> 01:08:21,960
when a marriage is asked to go 
this way for God's purposes, how

959
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:26,439
vulnerable that season is. 
But we counted the cost and 

960
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,439
understood what it would be like
for her not to be here. 

961
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,640
Watch this, guys. 
It is as important for her to be

962
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,960
here as it is for me to be here.
Yeah. 

963
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,439
So because she'll tell you in a 
minute, she didn't ask for all 

964
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:46,960
this. 
She did. 

965
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,600
She did not ask for all this. 
But she loved y'all and she wore

966
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:54,720
for y'all and you got anything 
you what we up here for is 

967
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,760
because we not going back what 
we will. 

968
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:01,520
But Calgary, the assignment is 
done. 

969
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:19,000
Thank you. 
I was telling the worship team 

970
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,439
in the back in the first 
service, if you guys were here, 

971
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,399
you guys all got to see me cry, 
boohoo, crying everywhere. 

972
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,439
I even snorted, which was super 
cute, but whatever. 

973
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,800
So I was ugly crying on stage, 
but I was just saying what I was

974
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,560
telling the team in the back was
I wasn't. 

975
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,760
I wanted to tell everyone I 
wasn't crying out of sadness 

976
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,279
that all day I've been super 
weepy. 

977
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:45,279
And here I go again, super weepy
and super thankful because it's 

978
01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:49,800
over. 
Like it's finished and you know,

979
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,680
you have to power through 
certain seasons and you just do 

980
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,600
it. 
Like whatever you have to do, 

981
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,520
you just do it. 
Well, some people do, some 

982
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,640
people complain the whole time. 
But for me, how I was raised as 

983
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,280
you just make it happen. 
And so we made it happen and it 

984
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,280
was a super fruitful, amazing, 
incredible season in Calgary. 

985
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,520
And actually everything that we 
went to accomplish there, we 

986
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,600
accomplished and we left Calgary
better. 

987
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,320
So I'm super, super thankful. 
I'm thankful for the 

988
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,400
opportunity. 
I'm thankful for your prayers. 

989
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,920
But it's over now and I just 
feel myself just releasing that.

990
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,120
And I'm thankful to be back in 
the house. 

991
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,360
And I'm thankful to see all of 
your beautiful faces. 

992
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,760
And I'm thankful every 
opportunity I get to be here in 

993
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,040
person because that does matter.
And it's, and now it's another 

994
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,640
new season. 
And so I'm super thankful and 

995
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:39,760
grateful to be back in the 
house. 

996
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,080
And I'm glad I don't have to 
overeat as much. 

997
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:58,920
It was an expensive season. 
So This is why I tell you guys, 

998
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,160
you, you don't when you come 
here saying I don't have 

999
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,600
capacity to do this and do that.
You got capacity for everything 

1000
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,880
God's calling you to do. 
You just got to make sure is 

1001
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:12,880
what he's called you to do And 
and, and for for Malachi. 

1002
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:15,880
I don't I don't know for a young
man to uproot like our kids 

1003
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:20,560
really love y'all and for them 
to uproot a lot of great lessons

1004
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,240
there. 
And now he's in Calgary and 

1005
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,600
we're going to go see him in 
Toronto Wednesday as we are 

1006
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,440
going. 
We need three games to win a 

1007
01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:33,640
national championship and we 
lost in the championship last 

1008
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,840
year's and we stayed because we 
want to get back. 

1009
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:45,240
And all you guys support 
Emerson, Maya, JT, all you guys 

1010
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,480
that have played a part in our 
children's life, like we're 

1011
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:51,640
super grateful. 
This is not an easy thing. 

1012
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,840
I think you forget because we're
such a loving family. 

1013
01:11:55,840 --> 01:12:01,120
You forget we're not from here. 
We're not permanent resident. 

1014
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:04,440
We're not like we're, this is 
not our home in that way, but it

1015
01:12:04,440 --> 01:12:07,800
is our home. 
And so everybody's contribution 

1016
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:13,760
has, has really blessed us. 
And I hate that we haven't been 

1017
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,040
around as much. 
We've been present, we've been 

1018
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:21,480
here, but we have never thought 
about traveling as much as we 

1019
01:12:21,480 --> 01:12:24,400
have. 
And being on the road has caused

1020
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:28,560
questions and things within 
because when I'm with them, I'm 

1021
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,320
like, God, am I supposed to be 
here? 

1022
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,840
And when I'm here, I'm like, 
God, am I supposed to be there? 

1023
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,040
And then God's just like, man, I
got it all. 

1024
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:43,040
Release it. 
And so we're going to go finish.

1025
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:47,040
I am letting you know this. 
I thought about it that I need 

1026
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,400
to tell you this. 
I will not be here for Easter, 

1027
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:54,440
OK? 
This is to be the first Easter I

1028
01:12:54,440 --> 01:12:59,120
have ever missed in my life. 
Weird, but it was just two weeks

1029
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,520
ago we found out that our son 
through your prayers, your 

1030
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,280
contribution, Emerson, JT, 
anybody that's been cheering, 

1031
01:13:06,480 --> 01:13:12,280
coming to a Love Quest game, 
that our son out of 24 hundreds 

1032
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:17,440
of players, 24 was picked to be 
on the all Canadian basketball 

1033
01:13:17,440 --> 01:13:37,240
team. 
So there's been some discipline 

1034
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,640
there and and what you don't 
understand is this mom out there

1035
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:44,480
cooking them meals and he think 
he the Prince out there. 

1036
01:13:44,480 --> 01:13:47,160
He like where are my eggs and my
ground beef and my rice at and 

1037
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,400
where did and it's funny because
when I go out there and visit, 

1038
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,640
he happy I'm there JT but he 
looking at me like, bro, this is

1039
01:13:54,640 --> 01:14:01,440
my crib and then now I'm there 
PJ, you know she she serves me 

1040
01:14:01,440 --> 01:14:05,640
food and he's sitting there like
where I'm like, bro, when I'm 

1041
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:11,320
here it's different like she I'm
I'm 1st and so we pray for us as

1042
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:13,800
we go. 
I will be leaving you in good 

1043
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:18,880
hands with the game is sorry. 
I'm not just missing Easter 

1044
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:20,960
because of the all the Canadian 
game. 

1045
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,560
It's a big, big deal, like it's 
a big deal. 

1046
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:28,280
It's it's a big deal. 
The game is on Easter. 

1047
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:35,920
So do I be here for Easter or do
I be a part of this one in a 

1048
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,960
lifetime opportunity? 
I don't care if you didn't 

1049
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,320
agree, I'm going now. 
I'm just playing up this way. 

1050
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:46,120
I'll just way, but that's why 
I'm letting you know and I I 

1051
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:49,080
feel like it's important that I 
communicate that I don't, I 

1052
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,080
don't have to tell you every 
time I'm not going to be here, 

1053
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,880
but I feel like that's 
important. 

1054
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,280
Elder Brett, I'm giving y'all 
assignments now. 

1055
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,800
Elder Brett and Elder John will 
split the messages between 9:00 

1056
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,720
and 12:00 on the Easter. 
And I know you guys are holding 

1057
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:04,160
down. 
Here's your title. 

1058
01:15:04,480 --> 01:15:09,880
What a friend we have in Jesus. 
That's your Easter message 

1059
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:13,480
title. 
And then tonight, we're going to

1060
01:15:13,480 --> 01:15:15,280
talk about friends. 
And so you'll get a little, 

1061
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:16,600
little something, something, 
something. 

1062
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,360
OK. 
Yeah. 

1063
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:23,000
And then Good Friday, we have a 
powerful time of testimonies and

1064
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:25,720
reflecting. 
And Elder Brett will be bringing

1065
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,360
a little message there. 
Not little, but you get what I'm

1066
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:34,640
saying. 
All right, stand to your feet. 

1067
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:47,600
I'm not going to close. 
I just challenge you to stay in 

1068
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:53,840
the posture of gratitude and 
prayer today as we go eat and 

1069
01:15:53,840 --> 01:16:00,240
rest and then we'll get back 
here at 6:00, man, you know, you

1070
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,080
know what this song reminding me
of? 

1071
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,040
Can I just sing? 
Sing not can I? 

1072
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,760
Can we sing? 
What? 

1073
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,080
What key is this? 
Give it to me in Zed.
