Let's get into it. 9 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,000 I. Read a couple scriptures to you. 10 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,840 John 38 amplified Classic. The wind blows, it breathes 11 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,720 where it will. Somebody say where it wills, say 12 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:08,360 where it wills one more time. And though you hear its sound, 13 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:17,320 yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is 14 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:25,720 going. So it is with everyone who is 15 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:38,080 born of of the Spirit. The wind blows where it wills. 16 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:49,280 Though you hear it sound, yet you neither know where it comes 17 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,280 from nor. Where it is going acts. 18 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:12,640 To 2. When suddenly there came a 19 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:16,200 sound. Let me start at 1. 20 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,320 And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all 21 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:32,120 assembled together in one place. When suddenly there came a sound 22 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:40,160 from heaven, like the rushing of a violent Tempest blast. 23 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,360 A wind came out of nowhere, in other words, and it filled the 24 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,280 whole house in which they were sitting. 25 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,080 I reverse 1A little backwards. They were all assembled together 26 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,720 in one place. When the day of Pentecost hath 27 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,560 fully kept, come fully come, fully come someone say a 28 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:19,920 measure, When suddenly there came a sound from heaven, like 29 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,200 the rushing of a violent Tempest blast. 30 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:53,800 Ezekiel 37. 37 and 9 Then said He to me, Prophecy to the breath 31 00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:03,880 and spirit, Son of man, and say to the breath and spirit. 32 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:12,280 Thus says the Lord of Lord God, come from the four winds, O 33 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:20,160 breath and spirit, and breathe up on the slain, that they may 34 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:27,600 live. So I prophesied as He commanded 35 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:35,160 me, and the breath and spirit or the wind came into the bones, 36 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:43,080 and they lived and stood up there feat an exceedingly great 37 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,560 host. Read it one more time. 38 00:04:50,280 --> 00:05:04,920 Then he said to me, Prophecy to the winds, say to the breath and 39 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:11,200 spirit. Thus says the Lord God, come 40 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,240 from the four winds, come from the north, come from the South, 41 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,600 come from the east, come from the West. 42 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:29,840 O breath in spirit, and breathe upon these slain, that they may 43 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:40,480 shout it out. Live prophecy that what is dead 44 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:53,440 may live prophecy. But he didn't say prophesied to 45 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,200 the bones. He said prophecy to that which 46 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,600 is going to bring the dead back to life. 47 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:12,440 He said speak to the wind. Sounds like what Jesus did on 48 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:20,480 the sea. Sounds like he has given us 49 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:30,040 authority. To prophecy command, place a 50 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:46,240 demand on the wind or on the Spirit of life to come and 51 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:54,120 transform our lives. There is so much authority in 52 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,840 each one of us that walk with the Lord. 53 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Follow the Lord led by the Spirit and are willing vessels 54 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,760 to let the breath of life live and flow through you. 55 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,920 Lord said prophecy, which means Ezekiel has a choice. 56 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:25,040 He can say, God, I don't think you see these bombs. 57 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,840 We're looking at hopelessness. No chance in hell these bones is 58 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:39,160 coming back to prophecy. No, no chance in hell that this 59 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,280 city, this community, this alley, this block is going to 60 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,480 look. No chance in hell this marriage 61 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,560 can be turned prophecy. No, no chance in hell my 62 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,520 children can make it through. No chance in hell this four 63 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,360 stage can't. No prophecy, no chance in hell 64 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,680 the budget will be met, the money will come in, the laborers 65 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,960 will Prophecy. I see how bad it prophesied. 66 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:18,720 Stop complaining prophecy. Ain't no way I can bounce back 67 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,320 from this trauma. It is how bad I've been hurt, 68 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,800 how bad I've been betrayed, how bad my husband treats me, how 69 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,240 far gone me and my spouse. And prophecy. 70 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,600 You believe God or you don't prophecy. 71 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,800 So we're going to take a few minutes before we get in this 72 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:54,160 word and we are going to prophecy so that as the Holy 73 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,240 Spirit comes in here tonight that there is transformation. 74 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,920 You have to move from just listeners of the word to 75 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,520 partakers of the word. There is life changing spirit, 76 00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:14,440 wind and breath in the word. And my prayer tonight as that 77 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:20,040 every dead place in your body, it will experience the wind of 78 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:29,320 God and you will come alive. Prophecy He is perfecting. 79 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:39,360 Because the wind is about to blow, he is equipping. 80 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:53,010 Because the harvest is about to storm in, he is perfecting. 81 00:09:54,090 --> 00:10:00,490 Because the wind is about to blow, he is cleaning his house. 82 00:10:02,450 --> 00:10:05,280 Because the wind is about to blow. 83 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:13,080 It is His grace and it is His mercy that is giving His 84 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:22,520 children time to turn around. Before the Savior stepped out, 85 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,960 there was a warning in the wilderness, and that warning was 86 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:34,520 repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. 87 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Yeah, before the bones got up in the valley, there was a word 88 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:52,200 that went forth. God is gracious to warn, to 89 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,120 compel, to send the Clarion call before the wind blows. 90 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:05,480 He is perfecting because the wind is about to blow. 91 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,600 The call of God separated Abraham from his family. 92 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,120 The call of God separated Jesus from his family. 93 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,200 The call of God separated Paul from his family. 94 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:33,040 The call of God separated Paul from his family, and Matthew 10 95 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:44,600 tells us that he comes to cut the call costs he is perfecting 96 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,080 because the wind is about to blow. 97 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:59,680 The power of God's Word is meant to bring about transformation. 98 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:06,120 He is perfecting because the wind is about to blow. 99 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,440 There's been warning to not get too busy. 100 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,600 There's been warning about being careful who you getting covenant 101 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,280 with. There's been warning about some 102 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,360 of the. Tricks of the Enemy in 2025. 103 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,520 Why? Because the wind is about to 104 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:31,200 blow. And a lot of times we do not, we 105 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:37,560 get so focused on harvest time, we don't focus on root time, 106 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:41,920 rooting time, rooting time, rooting time. 107 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,800 So the dangers about about about compelling you and prophesying 108 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:58,440 about the promise is you begin to get hyper promise and think 109 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,560 anything good that comes is promised because this is the 110 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:07,880 year. Not knowing that this loud voice 111 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,560 about promise on the flip side of it is a warning to brace 112 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:16,560 yourself because the wind is about to blow. 113 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,440 So in these conversations, there is going to be a stirring of the 114 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:38,120 gifts. God is shifting your seasons, He 115 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:45,640 is disturbing your rhythms, He is silencing your comforts. 116 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:52,040 He is transplanting your desires, and He is releasing 117 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,760 you. Watch it to your pride. 118 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,480 No, He does not free you from your pride. 119 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:08,400 You do that, but He will. When it's time, He will release 120 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:15,920 you to your pride. Father, may we have ears to hear 121 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,120 today. May we have eyes to see today. 122 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:41,790 Clean hands, pure heart, Holy Spirit activate we left off. 123 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:47,710 On Lush, the perfecting of the Saints and Somebody say 124 00:14:47,710 --> 00:14:52,910 perfecting, somebody say maturing, somebody say grow up 125 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:55,910 OK. And what we have to understand 126 00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:59,710 is God is called. This is a very crucial moment. 127 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:06,480 In the world and in the history of the world and the church, it 128 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,880 is it. This is what you might call a 129 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,800 defining moment for some of us, a turning point in history. 130 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,240 This is a time where we see generals leaving the earth, 131 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:25,120 mantels being thrown back down or being left on the earth, and 132 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,000 a new crop of apostles and prophets and teachers and 133 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,560 pastors and evangelists are being raised up. 134 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,200 They're called the remnant. I like to say it this way, God 135 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,000 always have a people in his back pocket. 136 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,920 God will never. It may look dark, it may look 137 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,720 wild, it may look crazy, it may look hopeless, but God always 138 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,240 has a flask of Saints filled, ready to go, ready to rock, 139 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,520 ready to obey. The, the, the. 140 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,960 There are many that are called and there are few that are 141 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,480 chosen. Some of you, you are being 142 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:16,360 healed from your fear of man for the call your, your freedom from 143 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,600 fear of man is to not make you independent of man. 144 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,920 We need each other. The enemy want to pervert you 145 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,400 pervert the fact that you have to be free from the fear of man. 146 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,200 And he wants to produce an independent spirit in you to 147 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,680 make you think you don't need no, no man, nobody. 148 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,720 He's raising up a people. He's raising up a tribe. 149 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:58,560 He's anointing his people. For such a time, I realize that 150 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,560 you can throw a net all you want to in the ocean, but you are 151 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,520 only going to leave with the fish that got in the net. 152 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 153 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,960 yeah. So those that God is calling in 154 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,160 this hour, realize that you are not called to everybody. 155 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,119 You are not anointed for everybody. 156 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,800 And you have to be OK with the fish who are called to you and 157 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,760 realize they're called to you. You can't save everybody. 158 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,960 If you save in everybody, I promise you, you're distracted. 159 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,800 I realize that. He say we are fishers of men. 160 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560 How many fishermen go out and catch the whole ocean? 161 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,720 Right, right, right. And what I realize when I look 162 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,600 at Jesus, he like I only got time and I only got capacity for 163 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,960 12 to save the world, I just need 12. 164 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:03,120 To carry this thing on, I only need 12. 165 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:07,680 But I also can't share certain parts of my life with but one to 166 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:18,440 three. The call is costly and I got I 167 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,200 think God wants to show some of us, especially those who feel 168 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,480 like it's either we we here's a buzzword now marketplace 169 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,280 ministry and some people have loud marketplace ministry to be 170 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:38,360 their excuse to not be committed to the local church in the name 171 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:41,680 of Jesus. Watch this When Paul left 172 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:47,120 Athens, he travelled to Corinth. Where he met a Jewish man named 173 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:52,280 Aquila who was originally from northeastern Turkey. 174 00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:00,000 He and his wife Priscilla had recently immigrated from Italy 175 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:06,640 to Corinth because Emperor Claudius had expelled all the. 176 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,960 Jews. From. 177 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Rome, watch this since Paul and Aquila were both shouted out 178 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,560 tent makers by what trade? Talk to me. 179 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,480 We go. We somebody going to get a 180 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,240 little bit of freedom tonight. Paul, not Saul. 181 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,040 So Saul is on the other side now. 182 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:32,440 He's what Paul and Aquila were both what tent makers by what 183 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,520 trade? Paul moved in with them. 184 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,880 He didn't move in with Priscilla, he moved in with them 185 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,880 and they became what business partners watch it every Sabbath 186 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,040 day. Paul spoke openly in the city. 187 00:19:52,040 --> 00:20:00,400 He preached, he teached to both Jews, non Jews, attempting to 188 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,800 persuade them to believe the message. 189 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:17,360 Jesus do I see? Talent and call Paul used tent 190 00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:29,720 making. To fund call and if you continue 191 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:36,000 on after his ministry began to get so explosive, it is believed 192 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,960 that then this is where we see churches beginning to partner 193 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,680 with him. But in the beginning of call, 194 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:53,840 Paul had an entrepreneurial trade. 195 00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:01,360 God didn't say, oh, you're anointed, you're an apostle, so 196 00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:02,280 you can't. Work. 197 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,880 He didn't say this is season, you got to work and pay bills 198 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:18,760 and call got to wait, quite frankly, his promotion to get 199 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,680 free and liberated from his trade. 200 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,320 Is how he. Was faithful over the tension of 201 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:33,520 doing both and so for some of you who are like God or in this 202 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,080 season, are you calling me to do one or the both? 203 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,480 You, you, you ain't paid no oil dues to be released from one or 204 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,000 the other. So if you're married or 205 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,320 whatever, you got call on your life. 206 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,880 Sure. Trust me, I did it. 207 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,040 I did it. I felt call, call, call. 208 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,960 I get a job and I'm like, Nah, I'm called. 209 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,920 So I don't need the work. I can't work. 210 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,440 I need time for call. But then family suffered on 211 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,000 foolishness. There is faith, there is 212 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,120 foolishness and there is presumption. 213 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:18,560 Paul was a tent maker on the Sabbath day. 214 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:37,400 Paul preached marketplace ministry, but the potency of his 215 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:43,360 marketplace ministry was based on his rootedness in the house. 216 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,640 There is room for both. There is capacity, but capacity 217 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,920 comes after obedience. Capacity don't come before to 218 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,280 pay you to be obedient. No, no, there is no capacity 219 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,160 exchange for obedience. You obey because you love God. 220 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 You don't obey because he gave you an increase in your hard 221 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,440 drive and now you like God. I'll go because now I can handle 222 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,600 more. No, you got to go when you can't 223 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,920 handle it. So. 224 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,240 So when you start handling it, you know why you handling it? 225 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,560 Only because of God. Take my yoke. 226 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,360 It's easy. Look at him. 227 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,760 Look at Paul. Look at Paul building tents. 228 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:51,360 Right. It's like then Brian was drafted 229 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:57,680 to the NBA by trade, by talent, by skill. 230 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,880 But on the road trips, he led Bible studies. 231 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,000 In offseason, he had an evangelistic mantle. 232 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,280 So in the offseason, he did revivals. 233 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:20,120 He leveraged his influence for the sake of the Kingdom. 234 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,640 Paul leveraged his skills to work for the Kingdom. 235 00:24:37,230 --> 00:24:42,230 As we saw last week, a gift is a key that opens doors to bring us 236 00:24:42,430 --> 00:24:45,110 into the presence of great men. We saw this last week. 237 00:24:47,710 --> 00:24:49,630 Your gift will make room for you. 238 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,320 Right. Right. 239 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,280 Look, discipleship is impossible between me and Troy. 240 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,240 If me and Troy didn't have music in common. 241 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,960 Me and Troy met doing a trade, a skill, a talent. 242 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,800 It was something, if you ask him a part of the reason he was 243 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,520 there, because they was paying. Yeah, we've done some stuff for 244 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,800 free. But it ain't never free you. 245 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,440 If you got your mind right, you are getting compensated. 246 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,960 But we met. Music brought us together. 247 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,840 It was the medium. And then as we begin to 248 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,560 Priscilla and Aquila and and and Paul had tents in common. 249 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,400 It brought them together. Paul moved in a crib. 250 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:50,880 What brought them together? Their marketplace commonality, 251 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,600 their gifts, their talents. And this is the dangerous part. 252 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:06,400 You come to church and God brings you together for call. 253 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,320 But a lot of times what people can do for you gets in the way 254 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:21,640 of why you are called together. And so now before you know it, 255 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,840 it's good that we can hire people and work within and give 256 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,360 people jobs and we can talk creative ideas. 257 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,960 But man, the moment you forget that what what God brought you 258 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,840 together and a part of what brought us together was our 259 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,920 commonalities. And a lot of times it is the 260 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,800 very thing that brought us together that gets in the way of 261 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,760 why we walk together. We can walk together later. 262 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,920 Discipleship. Soul winning. 263 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,760 How do you fish? How do you fish? 264 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,400 How do you fish? How do you fish? 265 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,400 You put something in the water that the fish like. 266 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,840 Am I wrong? Am I right? 267 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,160 You put something in the water that the fish like. 268 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,400 How do you think God brings people in our lives? 269 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,440 He'll put somebody in your life that's doing something or got 270 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,360 something that you like or you need. 271 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,920 But the problem is you have allowed the need to be the 272 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,080 priority, the need being fulfilled, and you have become 273 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,440 an opportunistic St. And and and you have sat down on 274 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:34,840 why we come together. We're a body right? 275 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,800 What like we're by he? He uses our commonalities. 276 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:40,760 To bring us together. Think about it, when you're 277 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,880 dating, when you're finding somebody, you don't. 278 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,880 I mean, look, no, no, no, no. You found a commonality. 279 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:47,560 Hey, what you like, where you go to school. 280 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,080 And then the moment you find out you got something in common with 281 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,840 somebody, the commonality makes you like them more. 282 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,280 Oh, you like Disney? Oh, my God, I've been. 283 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,320 It is the commonalities that keep a conversation rolling. 284 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,520 And the goal is to use our, our commonalities to bring us 285 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,320 together. But then God brings a common, a 286 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,080 purpose driven commonality that keeps us together. 287 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,040 And way too many believers get brought together, but don't stay 288 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,120 together. Like God said, let no man put 289 00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,880 asunder what I've brought together. 290 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,920 That, that, that is something that is used in, in, in 291 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,480 marriage, in weddings. Well, what do you think this is 292 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,800 the bride of Christ. God brought us together. 293 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,080 I, I, I could probably say that a lot of people will say I found 294 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,480 my church home. You don't necessarily look at 295 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,320 the people in your church home. How intricately we are knit. 296 00:28:54,320 --> 00:29:00,520 Together and by This is why He demands us to gather together 297 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,400 because there is something in each one of us that God has 298 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,200 brought together. And when we actually abide 299 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,120 together, there's a work that he can do with us. 300 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,200 And that's why you got to understand if God is working 301 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,320 everything together for our good, what the enemy means for 302 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:23,080 our evil, then men, if you got the maturity to work through the 303 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:29,480 differences and get to the other side, then you will begin to see 304 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,800 the glory of the body. But way too often in this 305 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,920 culture, the moment we hit differences, the moment them 306 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,120 enemy lies, he plays off our hurts, our pains, we either 307 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,680 leave or we put up a wall and begin to critique. 308 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,600 So it doesn't matter because you come here all the time that 309 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,000 we're walking together. We just gather together. 310 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,200 And So what the enemy loves, He likes for us to keep our 311 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,960 differences at a distance and secret, right? 312 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,800 We're not in the middle of the ring. 313 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,320 We're in the corner and we come in and we get whatever we can 314 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,560 get. But what God has meant for us to 315 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,960 get require roots. Let me help you. 316 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,880 You don't grow roots without dying. 317 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:33,240 So you might be someone, you might be a seed planted at Love 318 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:40,920 Quest, but you are on the surface of the soil and then 319 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,280 here it is. Watch it, watch it. 320 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:48,040 Don't, don't watch it. Anyone who is truly rooted, we 321 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:54,240 call them cliquish. No, no, no. 322 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,400 That's what the world calls cliques. 323 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,120 And there are cliques in church, but they're also in church 324 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,960 called tribes. They're also in church. 325 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,040 A group of people who decide to actually be rooted and go deeper 326 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,320 and go beyond the surface and share their fears, their 327 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,240 weaknesses, also talk about their differences. 328 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,400 And they in the middle of the ring and they're fighting for 329 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,520 unity, they're fighting for love. 330 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880 They're contending for the faith. 331 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,240 Many people are in their corners and they're throwing rocks at 332 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,360 the center of the ring and you are not getting in the middle. 333 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,000 No matter how messy it is, no matter how dirty it is, no 334 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,440 matter how long it take, no matter how much people poke at 335 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,480 you. I'm going to fight because I'm 336 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:50,880 called to contend for the faith. There there's no one that I'm 337 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,560 close with in this community that we have not had some very 338 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,040 hard conversation, brutal conversations, cry together, 339 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,280 laugh together, repent it to each. 340 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:09,560 Other and then on the other side of it, where there's no 341 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,280 vulnerability, there's no intimacy, there's no 342 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:21,520 vulnerability. Intimacy is not a sexual word is 343 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:28,880 in to me. See right so talents and gifts 344 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,240 brought us together under God's purpose. 345 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,520 Lower level talent is lower level or lower dimensional gifts 346 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:41,160 that undergird our dominant gift to bring support and balance. 347 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,360 Watch this. We read this last week, but I 348 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,400 want to read it one more time. Your talents are not the same as 349 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,760 your spiritual gifts. Skills are usually inherited, 350 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,040 passed down from generation to generation. 351 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,480 Natural talents can develop with practice. 352 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,560 Watch this. Spiritual gifts are received, 353 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,120 not developed. Spiritual gifts are complete 354 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,600 gifts, batteries included. Acts 1A says when the Spirit 355 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:19,680 comes up on you, you shall receive power, ability, 356 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,520 efficiency and might. Not because I developed 357 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,520 efficiency or ability or might. It's because the Holy Spirit is 358 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,920 up on me and that's what He brings. 359 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,680 That's what He. Adds to my life, and then you go 360 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,040 and look at the spiritual gifts, he says. 361 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,600 Now if I give, if I make somebody in charge of the gifts. 362 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:46,840 Then that'll be a hot mess. I distribute the gifts as I 363 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:54,760 please. Had somebody have a conversation 364 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,880 with them yesterday or the other day about the spiritual gifts 365 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,960 and the burden of the gift that they sense on their lives. 366 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,800 And I said the beautiful part about the gifts that are on your 367 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,600 lives, man, you can read about it and all that, but not many 368 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,040 people know what to do with the burden of the call. 369 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,239 You think the burden of the call mean if I got a gift of healing 370 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,320 on my life, then that mean anybody I see sick lay hands on 371 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,719 them. Anybody I see sick pray for and 372 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,719 let them hear me pray. And that's not the case. 373 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,800 I, I, I believe God, all nine gifts can flow through me 374 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,880 because I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't idolize one. 375 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,880 Neither do I just want one. I want the main. 1. 376 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:46,080 Right. I want love and here, here it is 377 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:56,880 is You have many people that say my ministry is this gift, but 378 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,480 that gift is the holy. Spirit's Ministry. 379 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,400 And so I'll see sometimes, man, we'll be flowing and there'll be 380 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,840 altar calls and there'll be prophetic words, and then 381 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,120 there'll be like weeks and sometimes months. 382 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,320 They're like, man, we haven't had that kind of encounter in a 383 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,200 while. Or God hasn't used me in this 384 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,080 way or used me in that way. And it's not like I'm thinking 385 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,680 about this the whole time, but I'm just like thinking about it. 386 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,040 Like I know he's used me this way, this way, this way, this 387 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,400 way, that way, then sometime he just has me preaching and 388 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:37,280 teaching and church over. But why do we press in the 389 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,160 worship? Why do we extend a little bit 390 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,440 longer? Because he may want to do 391 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,600 something and it is me yielding to him, asking him within my 392 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,920 spirit, Lord, is it anything you would have at this moment? 393 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,400 OK, cool, you finished. Awesome, done. 394 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,080 Because the spirit is like the wind. 395 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,480 The problem with the wind is when the winds show up, are you 396 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,280 available? This is why you got to be 397 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,840 mature, because you can't just be caught up loosey goosey in 398 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,960 the grocery store. If the winds show up, Are you 399 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:23,000 ready? Are Are you ready for the spirit 400 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,840 to move up on you? Like I don't want to have a the 401 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,680 the the the. Gift of the Spirit of prophecy 402 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,040 and then I'm in the locker room or at a ball game and somebody 403 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:45,120 is injured and and sick, but that that ain't Lord. 404 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,680 Can you get somebody in the gym that? 405 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:52,440 Got the gift to heal it. No, I'm just ready. 406 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,320 However, you need to use me today wherever I go. 407 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:01,160 Wind blow. And we got way too many people. 408 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,600 It's like this my ministry. This is the ministry. 409 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,880 And you go to your grave with this is the ministry you could 410 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,360 have been a whole lot more effective when that ministry 411 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,840 wasn't popping. Here's another ministry could 412 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,520 have been popping and another gift could have been popping and 413 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,640 another gift could have popped been popping. 414 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,160 Maybe you didn't have the gift of tongues used in that 415 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,000 sanctuary, but. He used the gift of 416 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,880 interpretations because we're a body. 417 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,680 So you say natural talents can develop with practice. 418 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,680 Spiritual gifts are received, not developed. 419 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:44,240 They come complete they they are unexpected surprises you can't 420 00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:50,760 earn or deserve. God chooses watch it. 421 00:37:52,320 --> 00:38:00,200 Your faith can be developed. Risk in REST are priorities to 422 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:06,680 grow in our lives. We are responsible to grow our 423 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,960 faith, but you cannot watch it grow your faith without risk. 424 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,480 And a lot of times you are trying to pick the right thing, 425 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,960 the right move, and you're too afraid to get out the boat 426 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,040 because you think you going to drown. 427 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,040 Or what if I don't walk on water? 428 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,760 No, but you won't know. Sometimes the way you hear God 429 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,320 is you got to step out to hear him say not that way. 430 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,520 The issue is not whether you can hear him or not. 431 00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:46,520 It's can he course correct in your life and you respond 432 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,200 quickly. I realized that in my life, God 433 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,440 being pliable in his hands, He has trained me or I have allowed 434 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,240 him to, however you want to put it that whenever he speaks, I am 435 00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:03,480 not afraid to quickly adjust and I'm not afraid to be wrong and 436 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,320 I'm not afraid to make a mess. But over 50% of the people we. 437 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:16,840 You are afraid to get messy. That's not a kid. 438 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,760 In the moment you put fear. In your kids from making a mess. 439 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,280 Now I'm talking about little kids, right? 440 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,640 I'm not talking about when you, you know, I mean like 12 and you 441 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,760 like doing stupid messes like you doing stupid stuff like you 442 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,800 can't be just be breaking stuff and throwing stuff. 443 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,960 Baseballs in the house and like crazy stuff. 444 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,400 I'm talking about when you put a little kid, you see him, you put 445 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,880 paint in the hand, you see how they eat, You see I got a bump. 446 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,040 I got a busted head right here because I took a risk. 447 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,840 I got a burn on my chest at one years old because I took a risk. 448 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,400 I was a kid. I didn't know no better. 449 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,600 I didn't know that that was really hot. 450 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,720 My Mama told me it was hot, but I didn't really know it was hot 451 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,760 until I pulled that hot grease down. 452 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,280 Like oh, how many times you think I pulled hot grease down 453 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,520 after that?

That's God. 548 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,960 What we need to worry about God for we got we better go back and 549 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:24,320 get God God out here tripping. I want you, I want you to, but I 550 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,400 want you to look at the the layers to this because they are 551 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,880 literally watching over the word. 552 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,560 They're not letting the word get away from them. 553 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,840 OK, OK, Jesus himself needed covering. 554 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,320 Jesus himself was accountable to the delegated authorities in his 555 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,040 life. Jesus himself obeyed Word even 556 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,720 when it came to his death. What are you talking about? 557 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,120 Look, and his mother kept closely kept and closely and 558 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,800 persistently guarded all these things in our heart. 559 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:01,240 Why? Why watch this Mystic? 560 00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:05,600 525252 And because of his obedience and because of the the 561 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,800 covering of his village. And Jesus increased in what 562 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,240 wisdom in broad and full understanding. 563 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:17,560 Watch this and stature and years and in favor with God. 564 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:22,000 And when what man? Jesus increased in wisdom? 565 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,160 Oh, the Word increased in wisdom. 566 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,480 The Savior increased in wisdom as long as he was in this world, 567 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,680 although not of it, He needed to increase in with. 568 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,880 And if Jesus needed to increase in wisdom, then what do you 569 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,520 think we need to do in broad and full understanding? 570 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,440 And in what stature? His inner man, His posture, His 571 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:52,360 influence and years and in favor with God and man. 572 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,400 If Jesus couldn't use the excuse, he was Jesus. 573 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,680 You can't use the excuse you were saying. 574 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:07,640 Oh, I'm saying I'm a Christian and what does the word say? 575 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,920 Oh, that's that's my tradition. So what does the word say? 576 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:18,840 Oh, that's how. I'm used to doing it. 577 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:25,840 OK So what does the word say? Watch this verse chapter 3 verse 578 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,720 23. Same Luke. 579 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:36,920 Jesus himself when he began his ministry was about 3030 years of 580 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,280 age. Wait a minute, how do I wait 581 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,360 that how we go from 12 to 30 in one chapter? 582 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:51,440 Because somebody say slow down. OK, what what we have to pay 583 00:49:51,440 --> 00:50:00,160 attention to is this is that there is no record of Jesus walk 584 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:08,640 from infancy to 12 pops on. They see him in the temple 12 to 585 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:13,720 3030 to 33 ministry grave to sky. 586 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,360 There's these hidden years of his life. 587 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:27,760 So I got to take I got I I got to I got to look at based on the 588 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,200 nature of God and based on certain situations in the word, 589 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,240 what might he been doing? So we go back that it was his 590 00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,280 custom. Remember we say his family went 591 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:44,960 up as custom, so it's also fair to assume as custom he is in his 592 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,440 word to know the Torah. That's why he find found himself 593 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:54,240 in them scrolls. He found himself OK, but also he 594 00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:59,960 was being raised looking forward to being a rabbi. 595 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,800 Watch this. But it was also known that 596 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:11,360 rabbis only shared scripture based on what they were taught. 597 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,200 They were reading the scroll and they were taught what their 598 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:19,400 rabbi taught them. Jesus was one of the only rabbis 599 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:26,200 that not only taught, but he gave his interpretation of it. 600 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,880 And that's a part of the reason why they wanted to kill him is 601 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:39,080 because he came with Revelation. OK, OK, OK, watch this. 602 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,640 Matthew put up. Matthew really quick. 603 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,840 Matthew 729. Real quick, real quick, real 604 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,000 quick, real quick, real quick, real quick, real quick. 605 00:51:50,040 --> 00:52:00,680 Matthew 729 for he was teaching as one who had and and was 606 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,360 authority. He didn't just have authority, 607 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:09,320 he was authority and not as did the scribes. 608 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:17,040 He was raised to be 1, but he had another call on his life and 609 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,560 he came with revelation. Watch this. 610 00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:23,160 He came with spirits and with truth. 611 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,840 So the reason they wanted to kill him is because they 612 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,640 couldn't understand his interpretation of the scriptures 613 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,240 and they would say that's blasphemy. 614 00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:40,040 So we will often find them trying to find him going against 615 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:44,200 the word, the law, and he came to establish his Kingdom. 616 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,520 So on these latter days, boy, you better have eyes to see and 617 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,400 you better have a humble heart and you better be rooted in the 618 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,160 Kingdom because guess what? It's going to be a whole lot of 619 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,960 stuff that that that that some of you may not understand, 620 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,720 especially in the blind spots of your flesh. 621 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,360 And when God sends apostles, when he sends prophets, you just 622 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:10,400 might miss them just like the. People who used to teach about 623 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,280 them, how they teach about them, they didn't see them. 624 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,800 So just because you read your Bible don't mean you see Jesus. 625 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,720 Just because you come to church don't mean you follow Christ. 626 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,720 So we go back to the warning of this great falling away. 627 00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:32,560 How you going to fall away? And we're not talking about you 628 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,840 just just straight up denouncing Christ. 629 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:41,080 How you go from hot to cold, hot to warm lukewarm. 630 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,360 How you going to let church hurt steal your voice? 631 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,000 How you going to let the busyness of your life cause you 632 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:57,440 to sit on your car falling away lukewarm, passive. 633 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,520 And then now you're getting older and you're like, oh God, I 634 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,400 wish I would have. No, no, no, you don't got to 635 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:03,720 wish. You would have just heed to his 636 00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:08,680 voice. So then we go into the apostles 637 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,360 and they wanted to persecute them. 638 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,680 Why? Wait a minute, they didn't go to 639 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:18,120 the same schools as us. But we can tell they've been 640 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:23,640 with that man. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, 641 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:24,320 wait. Paul. 642 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,920 I know. Jesus, I know. 643 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:28,760 But who? Is you. 644 00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:37,520 I hear you saying his name, but the but the but the but the 645 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,200 evidence in your tracks don't look like you following him. 646 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,840 I see Jesus footsteps over there. 647 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:48,200 I see you over here, you watching Jesus now following 648 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,520 Jesus you, you, you right, you you want to be a Jason just in 649 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,880 case the storm come. Hey, Jesus, I'm I'm with you, 650 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,040 I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm in line. 651 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,680 You know, you know little kids when they when they little and 652 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,720 they, they doing stupid stuff and then you turn around, 653 00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:05,000 they're like. Right, we're going to have 654 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,120 Saints in the last days then just cruising and chilling you. 655 00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:14,400 I'm here, Jesus here and guess what the Bible said? 656 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,880 I never knew you. What are you talking about? 657 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,200 You think my relationship is always keeping account of you? 658 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:28,880 It's like I got to always take roll, like I got to all, here's 659 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,640 what roll call. Here's what you do when you make 660 00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:34,960 Jesus call, roll over and over. You always got to hear His call. 661 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,560 How many times you got to remind you, You called. 662 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,840 How'd you even lose the focus on the call? 663 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,560 You got prophetic words. Your parents told you, some of 664 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,480 you in here. Man, you have gotten so many 665 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,280 prophetic words spoken over your life. 666 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,360 And let me tell you something, prophecy just don't come to 667 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,360 pass. Like, like if prophecy just came 668 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,400 to pass, like Jesus had to go through it. 669 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,120 John, you got to baptize me, buddy. 670 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:06,080 No, I got to go on this cross. So you actually got to do your 671 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,480 part because prophecy is birthed from covenant. 672 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:17,800 It takes 2 right? When you go to the altar, one 673 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,440 says I do. If the other one doesn't, we 674 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:25,640 have not agreement, we have not marriage, right? 675 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,840 What happens if you go to a wedding and one person say I do 676 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:38,160 and the other one don't? Wait, watch this, watch this but 677 00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:45,640 but they said yes, so why? Why are you judging them on 678 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:46,320 there? I do. 679 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:54,120 How many of you in here say, yes, you got Jesus at the altar 680 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,960 still just he been said I do and he. 681 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,000 What, what, what, what's been going on here? 682 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:23,280 So he's studying, but also what was what was known is that they 683 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:28,560 would study that Torah, but as they got older they would pick 684 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:34,200 up their father's trade and work at it full time. 685 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:45,000 Who else was a Carpenter father? If you look at scripture, Jesus 686 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:50,880 dad also passed, hence have to cross. 687 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:57,360 Hey, take care of my mother. He's a young man. 688 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:08,240 He left before his Mama, no dad, so he was also taking care of 689 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,840 his Mama and his younger siblings. 690 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:21,320 What was going on between infancy 12 and 12 and 30? 691 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,640 Because the Gospels is not there to tell us about the biological 692 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,280 life of Jesus and what he did and what he ate. 693 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,320 And like, yes, some of that is sprinkled in there, but this was 694 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:41,640 to record his death, his resurrection, his birth. 695 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:46,600 This was to record prophecy. This was to confirm. 696 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:53,240 What Isaiah said. So through the Holy Ghost, we 697 00:58:53,240 --> 00:59:01,320 get the chance to really look at might Number one. 698 00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,400 What was going on was parenting. No, I'll parent. 699 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:09,440 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. 700 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:14,280 No, because isn't God's calling. What is the revival all about? 701 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:21,400 Sons and daughters knowing how to be parented, come be on here. 702 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:25,720 Got daddy issues, parent issues. Some of the very scars you hold 703 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:31,400 came from your parents. So then when we get in church, 704 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,040 we no you preach to me. That's all you is. 705 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,160 Give me small groups, that's all you is. 706 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,360 Don't come to me talking about no covering, no spiritual this 707 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,480 spiritual that. No, my Pat, no. 708 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,560 Your name, Terrence. Your name, your name Julia, your 709 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,680 name John, your name, your name Rich your, your name. 710 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:57,200 You know we all the same. So did orders stop after Jesus? 711 01:00:05,970 --> 01:00:08,930 Jesus was not over being parent. Because the parenting is way 712 01:00:08,930 --> 01:00:10,890 more than just putting food on your table. 713 01:00:11,210 --> 01:00:13,530 It's about covering and protecting the gift on your 714 01:00:13,530 --> 01:00:15,960 life. No, I got a word. 715 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,800 This baby is given to me. I got to protect not just the 716 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,400 human, I got to protect the divine inside the human. 717 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:32,080 Watch this number. 2 Did you ever think that why we didn't 718 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:40,280 see a lot of his life is because he was being perfected The 719 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:46,920 unseen years overlook the years. Oh, that's just the Carpenter 720 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:51,520 boy. That's that's just oh, I don't 721 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,240 find in scripture Jesus was rushing. 722 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,440 I don't I don't find them thirsty, desperate. 723 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:03,600 He was tending to the family business, he was learning, he 724 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,720 was being educated. And then you see a lot of 725 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,360 Kingdom minded cultures in this country and you. 726 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,880 See why they have. Several generations in one 727 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:19,960 house, their kids can play hoop, but their parents aren't pushing 728 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,680 that because they're going to hand off the family trade. 729 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,400 North America, we don't we're not raised Kingdom No 18 get up 730 01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,200 out of here start and every generation starting a new trade, 731 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,920 starting a new. Business starting a new purpose, 732 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,560 starting a new dream, starting a new idea, starting a new 733 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,640 philosophy, starting a new new, new, new, new, new. 734 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:44,720 And we're no longer passing on, right? 735 01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,880 Mary. Mary was supposed all the 736 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,080 prophets in the Old Testament. What they were doing is they 737 01:01:50,080 --> 01:02:00,840 were given the word. Next prophet, next prophet, next 738 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:05,320 generation, next generation. If you handle the word right, 739 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:10,240 handle the word right, next generation the word becomes 740 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:17,600 flesh. And he comes, and he gets things 741 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,560 in order, and he restores the Kingdom, and he takes the keys 742 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:28,120 back, and the Holy Spirit comes, and he tells us to make 743 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,840 disciples. Here's making disciples. 744 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:40,360 Teach them from generation, just the family business, OK, We 745 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,640 won't pass it to the next generation. 746 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,560 Malachite, Malachite, here you go, Malachite grandkids, here 747 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,640 you go, Malia, here you go. Here you go. 748 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,560 He was like, oh, here's ten ways to be wealthy. 749 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,880 Here's ten ways to do this. Here's what you don't do in 750 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,800 marriage. Here's what you do in sex. 751 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,240 And here's what you do with this. 752 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,720 We passing on. We not passing on family 753 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:05,200 business, We passing on desires, We passing on philosophies, we 754 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,880 passing on trauma. We passing on hurt. 755 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,920 What Jesus went to do is he went to reconnect us back to the 756 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:28,640 Word. Jesus I by the Spirit of God, I 757 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,520 know what was going on in the lost years. 758 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,720 Same thing that was going on in David in the backfield. 759 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,760 Jesus was killing his lions and his bears, and that's why when 760 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,680 he came out, all it took was three years. 761 01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:52,840 That's why it only took David one stone efficient ability and 762 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:59,800 might because he didn't mind the perfecting. 763 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:10,800 He honored those that was given charge over him, although he was 764 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:20,280 God. He was parented, he was 765 01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:26,000 perfected #3 in those years he was being postured. 766 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:32,440 How did Jesus, as a human being anointed, stand against all that 767 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:39,000 persecution? Oh, Judas, it hurts, but I've 768 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:45,280 been perfected for Judas. I've been perfected, Paul, Paul, 769 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:49,280 I've been perfected to go without and to have abundance. 770 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:59,770 I've been perfected. But also watch it. 771 01:05:01,850 --> 01:05:03,890 Jesus is also living our prophecy. 772 01:05:05,970 --> 01:05:07,690 And here's what a lot of you need to get. 773 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:25,080 There is a word over your life. If ain't nobody prophesied over 774 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:31,080 you, the word has. Before I formed you in your 775 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:36,560 mother's womb, I knew you. I ordained you, I consecrated 776 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:56,480 you, I anointed you. God's not perfecting nothing. 777 01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:59,840 He's perfecting what he put in you. 778 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,600 He's the Potter. He's shaping the clay. 779 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:14,840 Everyone in here carries a different gift, or I'm going to 780 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,640 put it this way, a different presence. 781 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:21,760 All right, Shereen, walk in here. 782 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,880 She carry her presents. She's not going to walk in here 783 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,240 and you're going to be like, hey, Lily, No, no, no, no. 784 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:29,800 That's present when she walk out of here. 785 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:35,320 She takes her presents right from from her her stature, from 786 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:39,840 her posture, from from her smell, from her hair, from 787 01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,600 whatever there's from from her laugh, from her smile, from from 788 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,960 her negativity or her positivity. 789 01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:55,920 We all carry presents. But we all also carry presents, 790 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:08,240 PRESENTS, gifts, and. Here's what it should look like. 791 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,360 And all the elders cast their crowns. 792 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:23,480 What would happen? If 75% of us was aware of our 793 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:29,640 presence, which is overshadowed by His presence, and He has. 794 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:35,920 Put in US presence. When we come in here, we lay 795 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:41,800 them down at the altar by releasing them so that the wind 796 01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,520 of God. Can blow on all of our 797 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,360 offerings, all of our gifts in one room. 798 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:53,880 Not everybody come in here knowing they have a present to 799 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:58,000 cast down. You think the only people with 800 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:03,120 presents are the people who come on this platform or serve at a 801 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,480 post. So what you wait for is you wait 802 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:10,720 for a team to come out, tell you to stand up, lift your hands, 803 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,360 sat down. You didn't know that you can 804 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,520 walk through that tent. You got a presence on you. 805 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:22,160 You got presents in you and you can come in here and lay it down 806 01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:26,520 and you can start worship before the worship team come out. 807 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:40,720 Perfecting God's perfecting the Saints and it's my job and it's 808 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,680 it's others that are called in these five fold ministry gifts 809 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:53,000 to equip you. Stir on, stir up the gift, call 810 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:59,520 you out all all the things, call you based on Paul here. 811 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,200 Paul, he ain't have time for lower call. 812 01:09:01,399 --> 01:09:03,880 He said. I press towards the mark of the 813 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,680 high call, high call, high call, high call, high call, high call, 814 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,200 high call, high call, high call, high call. 815 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,720 And I found out when you focus on high call, high call, high 816 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,200 call, high call, then then the low stuff actually don't become 817 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:23,120 as desirable. How can he handle writing 818 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:24,800 letters with shackles on his hands? 819 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:26,640 High call, high call, high call, high call. 820 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,000 You so focused on the high call writing the letters? 821 01:09:33,359 --> 01:09:36,880 Are you focused on the souls? Are his imaginations Is on 822 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,120 seeing people's soul set free, not the shackles on his wrists? 823 01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:43,359 High call, high call, high call, high call. 824 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:52,040 Some of you have settled for acknowledging God, but you 825 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,640 constantly focused on low, call low, call low, call low, call 826 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,320 low, call low. Gifts, low talent, just talents, 827 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,920 gifts, abilities. So I need to go to school so I 828 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:07,920 can get this piece of paper to support my gift, not support 829 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:11,160 call. How, how? 830 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:15,520 How would your major and minor selection? 831 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:23,080 Go in college if you went into selecting knowing call see 832 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:26,920 because if I got a diploma that support my call. 833 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:32,240 Then I might, I might only get 100,000 a year, maybe 80,000 a 834 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,480 year. But based on, because I'm in my 835 01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:38,560 call and based on the stewardship of my call and based 836 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,840 on the education I have about my call, that gift, the diploma, 837 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,680 the gift, the diploma is going to make room for me. 838 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:52,040 And then I'm going to find favor with God and with who, man. 839 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:57,760 So I might make on paper 70 grand a year, but all the favor 840 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,680 and all the resources that come my way because the anointing is 841 01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:11,160 a magnet for Kingdom purpose. He brings the resources. 842 01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:23,080 In the world, money make room for you and there's so many 843 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:28,000 gifts in this room, so many presents that God has put in you 844 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:28,720 in this. Room. 845 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:38,240 That in this season, the winds blowing, that's why he's 846 01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:49,320 perfecting. So what I told them is you, I 847 01:11:52,480 --> 01:11:54,360 was talking to somebody who feels they have a strong 848 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,120 evangelist call on their life and the gift of healing. 849 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,200 So we're talking, he's like, ma'am, I'm need service sometime 850 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:04,280 and I'll see you and blah, blah. And I was like, do you know that 851 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:08,000 that gift is the Holy Spirit? Sometime the gift is activate 852 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,400 the burden. He's like, what do you do when 853 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:10,720 you have a burden? And you see. 854 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,400 Do you know sometime the burden is to activate prayer? 855 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,640 The Bible says that that Jesus was moved with compassion. 856 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:24,560 It was his compassion. It was his burden that then we 857 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,040 see people healed. Some people want healing but 858 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,360 don't have burden. The anointing flows through 859 01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,560 burden. My yoke is easy anointing. 860 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:37,360 My burden is light yoke destroying burden, removing 861 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,480 power of the anointing. And I said, do you know all the 862 01:12:40,480 --> 01:12:42,920 gifts that are in the room, all the presents that are in the 863 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:47,200 room, Maybe the burden comes up on you because you want to see 864 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,600 somebody healed. God then moves through your 865 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,280 intercession in the room. And then because we're praying 866 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:57,400 room, he might then move up on me, Elder John, whoever's 867 01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,440 speaking. And then God begins to then 868 01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:04,040 activate another gift called prophecy or the gift of wisdom 869 01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:07,800 or the gift of knowledge. And then, oh, it's somebody in 870 01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:14,320 this room that is dealing with XY and Z, but nobody knows that 871 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,720 that word was activated by the person with the gift of 872 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:22,040 healing's burden. Yeah. 873 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,480 And then we begin to call things out. 874 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:28,440 And then maybe God will say, hey, come down here, There's few 875 01:13:28,440 --> 01:13:31,160 people dealing with XY and Z. We're going to pray for you. 876 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:36,600 Don't nobody know that that move was activated by a vessel who 877 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,360 had the gift of healing on them? But what we want? 878 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,720 Is if I got the gift, I'll lay the hands. 879 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,320 You don't realize you're a vessel, you're a vehicle, you 880 01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,240 carry water. You ain't the water. 881 01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:58,240 But what happens, though, is I find on the flip side, there's 882 01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,200 burdens in the room every Sunday. 883 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:06,520 But what? About the other presents that's 884 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,680 just swallowed up by insecurity, that's just kind of like, Oh 885 01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:16,160 well, pastor got it or and the best she got it. 886 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:17,920 Look at her and the best so anointed. 887 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:22,000 Oh, I want to be bold like no, she may be bold because she. 888 01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,520 Used. She used her. 889 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:32,600 Shy, right? And he said, Jesus, he increased 890 01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,160 in wisdom. Well, if you can increase in 891 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,520 wisdom, guess what else you can increase in courage? 892 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:44,720 I heard, I heard it was a, it was a pro athlete said man, I 893 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,960 wasn't all this.
