00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,640
It's go time. 
Let's get into it. 

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,400
Hallelujah. 
Well, thank you, worship team, I

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,040
got good news. 
If you came here feeling heavy, 

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,880
if you came here feeling 
burdened, if you came here in 

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:47,280
need of rest, if you came here 
just feeling beat down, There is

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,800
victory in lifting up the name 
above every name, which is Jesus

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,520
Christ. 
And know that through your 

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,640
engagement of worship, as you 
lift up the name above every 

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,320
name, every other name must come
down. 

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,800
Anxiety must come down. 
Sickness must come down. 

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,680
Fear must come down, loneliness 
must come down. 

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,920
Jesus says, come to me, all you 
who are weary and in need of 

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,760
rest, and learn of me. 
Take my yoke upon me, for my 

21
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,880
yoke is easy and my burden is 
light. 

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,760
And so there is good news for 
you here today. 

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,480
Rest is found in the name of 
Jesus. 

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,320
Rest is found in joining your 
life to Jesus. 

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,560
He is for you and not against 
you. 

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,920
He has plans to prosper you and 
not to harm you. 

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,640
Plans for a bright future. 
Amen. 

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,560
Is that not good news, Church? 
Hallelujah. 

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Well I am super excited to be 
able to preach this morning and 

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,840
man I do not take this 
opportunity lightly at all. 

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Great men and women have stood 
up here before me and delivered 

32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,400
anointed, powerful, life 
changing words, advancing the 

33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,280
Kingdom before me. 
And I just count it such a 

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
privilege to be entrusted with 
the microphone here. 

35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,640
And so it's I got to give honor 
where honor is due, and that's 

36
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:24,640
to my pastors, my spiritual 
parents, my spiritual covering. 

37
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,800
That's Pastor Terence and Pastor
Julia, who are the founding 

38
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,840
pastors of love quest. 
They truly helped me discover 

39
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,240
the new me. 
That's the KNEW me. 

40
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:44,360
That's the version of Dylan that
God knew knows. 

41
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,000
That's the version of myself 
that was buried under all kinds 

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,680
of fear, all kinds of regret, 
all kinds of anxiety. 

43
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,400
But God sent pastors to help 
call the new Dylan out. 

44
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,560
And so Pastor Terrence, Pastor 
Julie, I love you and I'm so 

45
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,640
grateful for your lives and your
covering and your faithfulness 

46
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,000
to the gospel. 
So I say thank you for 

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,360
entrusting me with this great 
privilege. 

48
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:22,160
And so we were just singing 
worship about how we lift up the

49
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,520
name of Jesus. 
We were sitting a man. 

50
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,400
We run back to you and we've and
we fall before you. 

51
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,480
We humble ourselves before Jesus
because Jesus gave us new life, 

52
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,920
because Jesus set us free. 
Jesus brought us from a low 

53
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560
place of being defeated where we
were slaves to sin. 

54
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,280
He lived a pure life so that 
when he shed his blood and I put

55
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,320
my faith in his blood as 
payments come from my sin, I 

56
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,040
could come alive and I would no 
longer be separated from God the

57
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,800
Father, our Creator, by sin, but
I would become alive again by 

58
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,560
the Spirit. 
And so we worship Jesus because 

59
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080
it's only by Jesus that we have 
new life. 

60
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Amen. 
And so this is the vein of the 

61
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,480
word that I am preaching you 
here this morning. 

62
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,440
I am echoing a word that Pastor 
Terence has already preached 

63
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,840
previously, and that's this word
on evolve. 

64
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,920
Evolve speaks to becoming, 
becoming who you were destined 

65
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,120
to be. 
And the butterfly is such a 

66
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,600
beautiful example of something 
that has evolved. 

67
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,280
When you see a butterfly 
fluttering through the sky is so

68
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,760
beautiful. 
It's so colorful, it's so 

69
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,360
intricate and detailed. 
It's so effortlessly. 

70
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,880
When it is flying, it's clear to
see that that butterfly is doing

71
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840
exactly what it was created to 
do. 

72
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:03,840
And Jesus came to set us back on
track. 

73
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,520
That we can become the sons and 
daughters that we were created 

74
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,800
to be. 
That when we walk on the earth, 

75
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,920
we walk with the same beauty, 
the same eloquence, eloquence, 

76
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,000
the same grace, the same ease 
when we are in right fellowship 

77
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760
and right standing with God the 
Father. 

78
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,280
And so when we see a butterfly, 
this butterfly is in all of its 

79
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:34,360
glory. 
The word glory speaks to its 

80
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,920
fullest potential. 
It is arrived at its fullest 

81
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,600
potential. 
It is free to be who it's 

82
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,600
created to be. 
But how many of you know that 

83
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,840
the butterfly was not always 
free? 

84
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,160
There was a stage in its life 
where it was bound in a cocoon. 

85
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,320
And I know, don't go there yet, 
please. 

86
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,560
I know, I know. 
The cocoon is, is, is a good 

87
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,400
place for the butterfly to 
receive its nourishment and to 

88
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,040
go through its metamorphosis to 
become the butterfly. 

89
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,280
But for the sake of my 
illustration, I want you to see 

90
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:18,480
that cocoon as a place where 
that butterfly is stuck. 

91
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,680
The cocoon is a place where that
butterfly is bound. 

92
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,720
The cocoon is a place necessary 
that for the butterfly to leave 

93
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,760
behind in order to become or 
evolve and to be what it was 

94
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:45,960
created to be. 
And so the cocoon within evolve.

95
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,320
My subtitle is called From My 
Kingdom to Thy Kingdom. 

96
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,800
The Lord specifically gave me 
that what prevents sons and 

97
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,960
daughters from evolving to be 
the fullest potential of who 

98
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,360
they were created to be is they 
are not willing to leave My 

99
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,920
Kingdom and enter into Thy 
Kingdom or they refuse to, to 

100
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,800
leave behind the old and step 
into the new. 

101
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,560
And from within our souls, we 
are body, soul and spirit. 

102
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,640
Our body is fallen flesh. 
It has a desire to just feed its

103
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,600
natural cravings, which are 
sinful to do what we want, when 

104
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,320
we want, whatever we want. 
But there is a spirit man inside

105
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,680
of us that desires to be one and
united with God. 

106
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200
And it's the spirit man when we 
walk in the spirit man, that we 

107
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,120
are carrying the very Kingdom of
the Father, thy Kingdom. 

108
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,480
But when we refuse to do things 
in thy Kingdom, and we hold fast

109
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,960
to my Kingdom, my cocoon. 
I was brought up doing what I 

110
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,800
want. 
I was the boss of me. 

111
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,640
I acquired some injuries, some 
hurts in my heart along the way 

112
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,880
when I was doing things my way, 
when I was in relationships and 

113
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,640
people broke my heart, my heart 
was hurt. 

114
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,200
So I put up walls to prevent 
myself from getting hurt again, 

115
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,560
which prevents me from loving 
the way that God desires me to 

116
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,240
love. 
And so there's this wrestle 

117
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,040
between flesh and spirit. 
And so I want you to see the 

118
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:33,000
cocoon as a place being bound. 
The cocoon is the place where I 

119
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,600
am in my flesh, but the Lord 
Jesus came that I may evolve to 

120
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,920
be this butterfly, that I may 
evolve to be free, that I may 

121
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,320
evolve to be alive again by 
spirit. 

122
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,760
And the Bible says where the 
Spirit of the Lord is, there is 

123
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
freedom. 
But in order to receive the 

124
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,920
Spirit of Christ, I must die to 
my Kingdom and enter into thy 

125
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,120
Kingdom. 
And it's only by the blood of 

126
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:08,960
Jesus that I can do so. 
And so these two realms, the 

127
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,960
realm of the flesh and the realm
of the spirit, are at war with 

128
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,080
one another. 
I want you to see that the enemy

129
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:24,960
originally came to establish my 
Kingdom and then following the 

130
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,280
fall of man, Jesus came to re 
establish thy Kingdom. 

131
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Turn to Genesis 3. 
This is in the very beginning of

132
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,920
the of the Bible. 
Now this, this is in the Garden 

133
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,960
of Eden. 
Now the serpent was more crafty 

134
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,200
than any of the wild animals the
Lord God had made. 

135
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,400
He said to the woman, did you, 
did God really say you must not 

136
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,880
eat from any tree in the garden?
The woman said to the serpent, 

137
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,320
We may eat fruit from the trees 
in the garden, But God did say, 

138
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,920
you must not eat fruit from the 
tree that is in the middle of 

139
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,040
the garden, and you must not 
touch it, or you will die. 

140
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,080
You will not certainly die, the 
serpent said to the woman, For 

141
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,760
God knows that when you eat from
it, your eyes will be opened, 

142
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,320
and you will be like God, 
knowing good and evil. 

143
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:25,760
So the enemy came and put the 
lie in Eve's ear, in mankind's 

144
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,760
ear, that you can be like God, 
you can be your own God. 

145
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,680
The enemy deceived mankind into 
turning their backs on the 

146
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,760
divine planet God, which is a 
partnership between God and 

147
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:47,000
mankind, so that the mankind 
would set up my Kingdom, their 

148
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,960
ways of doing things. 
And that is when sin crept in 

149
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,840
and brought a great divide. 
But Jesus came to reestablish 

150
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,320
thy Kingdom. 
He built that bridge back by his

151
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,120
blood, that where we were once 
separated, we are no longer 

152
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,720
separated. 
We see that through Jesus 

153
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,040
teaching us to pray. 
Our Father in heaven, hallowed 

154
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,680
be your name, Thy Kingdom come, 
Thy will be done on earth as it 

155
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:20,680
is in heaven. 
Jesus was the manifested heart 

156
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:24,040
and will of God to reunite 
heaven and earth. 

157
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:29,880
So Jesus came to reestablish thy
Kingdom, the Kingdom. 

158
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Kingdom is a King's domain or a 
King's place of rulership. 

159
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,480
That's what Kingdom means. 
It's a place that that king 

160
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,720
rules and occupies it and 
exercises his lordship. 

161
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:48,480
And Jesus taught us that God's 
Kingdom realm is already 

162
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,520
expanding within some of you. 
Another translation says, 

163
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,520
behold, the Kingdom of God is 
within you. 

164
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,840
It's in your very hearts. 
And so the Kingdom of God is 

165
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,800
within the hearts of those who 
have received Jesus as their 

166
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,600
Lord and Savior. 
But we see in the Bible Jesus 

167
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,120
came across a rich young ruler, 
and the rich young ruler says, 

168
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,240
Jesus, I follow all your 
teachings, what more must I do 

169
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,040
to enter into the Kingdom of 
heaven? 

170
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,920
And Jesus says, go, sell all 
your belongings and follow me. 

171
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,320
But it said that the rich young 
ruler walked away discouraged 

172
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,400
because he had much wealth and 
he was not willing to part with 

173
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,960
his wealth. 
So that rich young ruler was not

174
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,640
willing to allow Jesus to be his
Lord. 

175
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:50,320
He was not willing to trade his 
riches, which occupied a place 

176
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,960
of rulership in his heart for 
Jesus as his ruler. 

177
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,840
Now for some of us, it's career,
for some of us it's it's love, 

178
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:05,960
it's desire to have a spouse. 
For some of us, it's it's 

179
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:14,200
influence, whatever we meditate 
on the most, whatever we 

180
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,160
idolize, whatever we worship, 
whatever we give the most weight

181
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,640
in our hearts, that is what is 
ruling our hearts. 

182
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,680
And Jesus decide desires to be 
the king and ruler of our 

183
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:31,680
hearts. 
And so I was sent here to ask 

184
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:35,480
you this morning, who is the 
King of your heart? 

185
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,920
This is a question you need to 
seriously ponder and consider 

186
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,600
yourself as a follower of 
Christ. 

187
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:49,000
The Bible teaches in Romans 10 
verse nine that if you confess 

188
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,080
Jesus says Lord and believe in 
your heart that God raised him 

189
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,280
from the dead, that you shall be
saved. 

190
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,120
And many of us pray this prayer 
and make this confession without

191
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,000
fully understanding the weight 
of the title Lord. 

192
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,160
Lord speaks to ownership. 
Lord speaks to my life is no 

193
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,480
longer in my hands. 
My life no longer belongs to me.

194
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,840
I have given it into the hands 
of Jesus. 

195
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,160
And this can only be done 
through a revelation of the 

196
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,520
goodness of God, that Jesus is 
for you and not against you, 

197
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,400
that his ways are higher than my
ways, that he has plans for good

198
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:35,520
for my life. 
And so a good way of seeing, 

199
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,640
asking yourself who is the king 
of my heart is who is the main 

200
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,000
character in my life? 
Are all of my worries, all of my

201
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:55,720
concerns about me? 
Or is Jesus the first person 

202
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,560
that comes to mind when I'm 
making big life decisions? 

203
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,960
When I'm asked to serve? 
When I'm asked to do something 

204
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,760
out of my comfort zone, am I 
quick to say no that makes me 

205
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,360
uncomfortable? 
Or do I ask myself, would this 

206
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,600
bring glory to God and would 
this help serve others? 

207
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,840
Who is the king of your heart Is
Jesus Lord? 

208
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,480
David was a man after God's own 
heart. 

209
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,440
In Psalms 139 he cries out and 
prays. 

210
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Search me thoroughly, oh God, 
and know my heart. 

211
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,440
He opens his heart up to the 
Lord. 

212
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,680
Expose any area of me, try me 
and know my thoughts and see if 

213
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,800
there is any wicked or hurtful 
way in me and lead me in the way

214
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:53,920
everlasting. 
My Kingdom is focused on what I 

215
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,360
can get, while Thy Kingdom is 
focused on what I can give. 

216
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,000
And Jesus taught finances and 
stewardship. 

217
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,880
Over 1/3 of his sermons in the 
gospels is on stewardship and 

218
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,880
finances because he knew the 
risk that man ran of making an 

219
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,360
idol out of possessions that 
they got. 

220
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,440
This belongs to me and I'm not 
willing to share it. 

221
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,360
My Kingdom is more concerned 
about what I can get where thy 

222
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Kingdom is focused on what I can
give. 

223
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,000
God so loved us that He gave 
Jesus that whoever would believe

224
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,440
in Him will not perish, but have
eternal life. 

225
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,320
Where to steward the many 
blessings that God has given us?

226
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,000
Where to live before God with 
open hands? 

227
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Everything that is good comes 
from the Lord. 

228
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,200
And so I freely have received, 
freely I give back unto the 

229
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,080
Lord. 
It keeps in a heart posture open

230
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,440
before God to not make idols out
of everything, anything, but to 

231
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,480
always have Jesus on the throne 
of our hearts. 

232
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,160
And so as if as I'm just 
preaching this message, you're 

233
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,680
being stung at the heart saying,
man P Dill, I am the main 

234
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,119
character of my life and I want 
to make a change. 

235
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,680
I have been serving my Kingdom 
more than thy Kingdom. 

236
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:21,000
I want to, I want to, I want to 
evolve beyond me and enter into 

237
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,880
the great plan that God has for 
me. 

238
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,200
John the Baptist and Jesus both 
preached repent, think 

239
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,800
differently, change your mind, 
regretting your sins and your 

240
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,520
conduct for the Kingdom of 
heaven is at hand. 

241
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,320
There's a prerequisite for 
entering into the Kingdom of 

242
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,600
heaven which is at hand, and 
it's repent. 

243
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:49,640
Take your life out of your own 
hands and put it in Jesus's 

244
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,840
hands. 
Take your eyes off yourself and 

245
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,720
put them on Jesus to become the 
new you, the glorified you. 

246
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:02,840
It requires you to leave the old
you behind. 

247
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,800
A surrendered heart is united to
the sun's heart, the same way 

248
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,560
that the butterfly gets its 
energy and its wings from 

249
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,600
basking in the presence of the 
sun. 

250
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:21,640
We as spiritual sons get our 
energy, our power, our anointing

251
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,000
and being united with Jesus, 
First Corinthians says. 

252
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,280
But whoever is united with the 
Lord is one with him in spirit. 

253
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,600
Hallelujah. 
Romans 8 says The entire 

254
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,760
universe is standing on tiptoe 
yearning to see the unveiling or

255
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,400
the evolving of God's glorious 
sons and daughters. 

256
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:52,080
Why? 
Because heaven is open over sons

257
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,960
and daughters who carry thy 
Kingdom. 

258
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Within this Jesus demonstrated 
what it looked like for a man to

259
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:06,120
walk fully united to God the 
Father, to walk under an open 

260
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,560
heaven. 
The Bible says that the reason 

261
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,920
the Son of God was made manifest
was to undo and destroy all the 

262
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,400
works of the enemy. 
So I have good news for you 

263
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,800
church, if you are feeling beat 
down, struck down, there is 

264
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,240
nothing that the enemy has done 
to you that God can't do 

265
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,800
something about today. 
Turn your eyes on Jesus. 

266
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,480
Set Jesus Christ back on the 
throne of your heart, for He has

267
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,120
plans for good to prosper you 
and not to harm you in Jesus 

268
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,280
name. 
Well, thank you so much for your

269
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,720
time. 
At this point, I'm going to 

270
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,760
invite up a mighty woman of God 
that's an ordained our ordained 

271
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,120
teacher in the house. 
Effie, please give her a big 

272
00:19:51,120 --> 00:20:43,800
round of applause. 
So I thank you, May God bless 

273
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,720
you, may keep you, may his face 
shine upon you, May he be so so,

274
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,960
so gracious towards you and fill
you with total peace as you rest

275
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,240
in him in Jesus name. 
Thank you so much everybody for 

276
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,520
coming today. 
I'm just so excited to be here 

277
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,280
with you and to have the 
opportunity to praise with you, 

278
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,840
to worship with you. 
We live in a house that 

279
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,000
prioritizes praise, that 
prioritizes worship. 

280
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
And the beautiful thing about 
that is it gives us the 

281
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,400
opportunity to realign our 
perspective with the one, with 

282
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,440
our Lord and Savior, with Jesus.
Praise shifts our mindset. 

283
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,920
Praise shifts our position and 
in turn it shifts our 

284
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,920
perspective and it shifts what 
we see. 

285
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,560
And this is so important. 
A few weeks ago, Pastor Terence 

286
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,560
in the Pop Culture series, he 
was preaching about pupil 

287
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760
opening praise. 
Literally how praise is designed

288
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,440
to 'cause our pupils to dilate 
so that we can actually receive 

289
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,000
all of what God has for us. 
So we can let the light in 

290
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,120
because these are windows. 
And So what we allow in and to 

291
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:57,200
make home in our hearts, that's 
what we release because out of 

292
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,880
the abundance of the heart, the 
mouth speaks. 

293
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,920
And So what I want to do is do a
little spin off of people 

294
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,200
opening praise. 
And my pop culture for today is 

295
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,120
praise over perspective. 
So first I want to start with a 

296
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:15,400
couple of review points from 
Pastor Terence directly. 

297
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,280
The 1st is you cannot determine 
what God is doing based on the 

298
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:24,800
bad you are experiencing. 
Do not allow your circumstances 

299
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:32,280
to sully your perspective. 
Do not allow your situations to 

300
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,280
dilute or pollute your 
perception. 

301
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:44,400
Too many times we allow our 
difficult situations to become 

302
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,440
the lens that we see life 
through. 

303
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,560
And that can cause us to be 
bitter and it can cause us to be

304
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,640
offended. 
And so First things first, I 

305
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,320
want to help open your eyes to 
what's going on. 

306
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,720
Do not allow your perspective to
cause you to miss the new that 

307
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,760
God is trying to bring into you.
A lot of times it's actually the

308
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,560
trials and the testing of our 
faith that produces the good. 

309
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,600
It produces the new. 
It produces the maturity. 

310
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,440
So allow your perspective to 
shift. 

311
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,840
Don't see your trial, don't see 
your thing, don't see your 

312
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,960
challenge as a negative thing, 
but be like God, shift what's 

313
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,760
going on in my mind and help me 
to see this as an opportunity to

314
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,280
mature, as an opportunity to 
grow, as an opportunity to step 

315
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,400
into the new that you have. 
And if you allow your 

316
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,320
perspective to shift, God will 
do a new thing in your life and 

317
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,800
you will come out not only 
stronger as a person, but with 

318
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,480
strong, mature faith. 
And if we want the Kingdom to 

319
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,400
advance, we need to be believers
that hold a strong, mature 

320
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,640
faith. 
The Kingdom is built on mature 

321
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,920
faith. 
And so we need to mature as a 

322
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,520
church today. 
Another quote from Pastor 

323
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,240
Terrence is God is doing 
something brand new in your 

324
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,040
life. 
We have to position ourselves to

325
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,760
see it. 
This is the seasons to start 

326
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,880
looking for what you have never 
seen before. 

327
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,120
But if you allow offense to 
cloud your judgment, you can't 

328
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,680
see it. 
If you allow circumstances to 

329
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,800
cloud your vision, you can't see
it. 

330
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:27,120
We have to release what was and 
be open to the new that God is 

331
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:30,080
doing so we can receive 
everything he has for us. 

332
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,480
And here's a little new for you.
If we are going to see the new, 

333
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,640
we have to shift our perspective
to the new. 

334
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,200
And the word perspective is 
super important. 

335
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,960
When you break it down, 
perspective per means through. 

336
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,680
And then this base here, which 
is Latin but spective means to 

337
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,600
look. 
So how many of you have had 

338
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,520
glasses, have glasses, have 
contacts, need glasses? 

339
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:59,000
A lot of us do, right? 
So our perspective, what God is 

340
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,360
wanting to do is give you some 
new glasses today. 

341
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,040
What if I was to, I started 
wearing glasses at 7 years old. 

342
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,920
What if I was to take my little 
7 year old glasses and put those

343
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,000
on and try to see with them? 
My eyes are drastically 

344
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,560
different from back then. 
Not to mention those glasses now

345
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,120
are old. 
We'll just say that and they're 

346
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:24,040
scratched. 
I had broken them at one point. 

347
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,120
If I'm trying to put on the old 
to see the new, I won't be able 

348
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:30,240
to see it. 
My vision is blurry. 

349
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,240
There are scratches blocking my 
way. 

350
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,880
My perspective cannot come 
through. 

351
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,280
I need to get a new perspective 
so I can look through my new 

352
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,800
God-given lenses and see clearly
the new that's before me. 

353
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,240
I need to allow God to give me a
new prescription so that I can 

354
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,440
perceive everything that He is 
doing ahead of me and I can then

355
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,320
walk into it. 
But we have to be aware of what 

356
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,000
we look through. 
Our perspective is the lens that

357
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,440
we see our world through, and we
have to see that thing 

358
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,600
transformed so that we can see 
accurately. 

359
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,600
Isaiah 43 verse 18 to 19 says, 
Do not earnestly remember the 

360
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,760
former things, those old things,
those old glasses, neither 

361
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,400
consider the things of old. 
Behold, I'm doing a new thing 

362
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,320
now it springs forth. 
Do you not perceive it? 

363
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,000
Do you not see what's in front 
of you? 

364
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,640
Do not see the new I'm doing. 
Whoa. 

365
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,920
It springs forth. 
Perceive and know it. 

366
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,240
Will you not give heed to it? 
Will you not give me the 

367
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,400
attention I deserve? 
If you quit focusing on the 

368
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,480
things that are before you, on 
your problems, on your 

369
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,040
circumstances, on your little 
situations, if you would just 

370
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,240
lay those things down and put on
my vision and see what I'm doing

371
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,960
for you, you'd be able to stand 
up in a new way. 

372
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,880
You would get a new fight. 
You will get everything that you

373
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,400
need. 
But we need to lay down what was

374
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,120
before and we need to pick up 
and put on his eyes for us so we

375
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:11,360
can see what is coming. 
Lay it down today, church. 

376
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,280
Lay down what was. 
No longer will we pick up what 

377
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,440
was and try to put it on and see
it's ineffective. 

378
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Today is the day that we mature 
as the body and we put on God's 

379
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:29,680
eyes, we put on his vision and 
we allow him to renew our sight 

380
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:36,680
so that we can be transformed 
because he will even make a way 

381
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,320
in the wilderness and rivers in 
your desert. 

382
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,760
Where are you dry? 
Where do you feel lost? 

383
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,520
Where are you wandering? 
My God, if you would just put on

384
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,320
his eyes for you, He's making 
ways and the ways aren't just 

385
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,640
clear paths. 
There's water with it, there's 

386
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,240
thirst quenching power that 
comes with it. 

387
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,520
So take a drink, a deep drink of
the well that God is springing 

388
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,120
in front of you. 
Take hold of what He has for you

389
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,480
today. 
Church, there is new coming for 

390
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,040
you. 
New is coming for you today. 

391
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,520
God is trying to expose your 
perspective. 

392
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,320
He's trying to expose the things
that are not of Him and do not 

393
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,840
serve you anymore. 
Quit holding on to them. 

394
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Let it go because your 
perspective determines your 

395
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:35,440
perception and your perception, 
it takes dependence. 

396
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,720
If you're going to perceive what
God has for you, you have to 

397
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,040
depend on him because he's the 
only one who can reveal it to 

398
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,760
you. 
If you're not willing to step 

399
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,360
into the fullness of what he has
for you, if you're not willing 

400
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,480
to lay down your own stuff and 
be like, you know what, God, I 

401
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,760
actually just can't. 
I actually, I actually just 

402
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,800
can't do this on my own. 
And you know what? 

403
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,080
I don't get it? 
I don't see right now. 

404
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,720
And you realize that you're 
blind without him. 

405
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,760
Oh, Church, that you would just 
allow him to give you his 

406
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:22,080
vision, allow him to give you 
His sight, would transform 

407
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,800
everything around you from the 
way you see yourself to your 

408
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,480
circumstances. 
Your perception takes dependence

409
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:34,240
on him and your perception. 
It takes focus and vision. 

410
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,760
We need clarity in order to be 
able to move forward in our life

411
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,240
and what we perceive determines 
what we can receive. 

412
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Even in this room right now, if 
your perception is out of 

413
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,480
alignment, you can't actually 
receive what the Holy Spirit is 

414
00:29:53,480 --> 00:30:04,920
trying to say to you. 
We need His sight for us so that

415
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,960
we can receive everything He has
for us. 

416
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,440
And this is super key, the word 
perceive. 

417
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,360
When you break it down, it means
to take entirely. 

418
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:22,120
And so back to Isaiah 43 verse 
19, he says, don't you perceive 

419
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,680
it? 
Won't you take it entirely? 

420
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,480
Won't you heed what I'm doing? 
Open your eyes to the new and 

421
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:38,640
receive it completely. 
And then the word receive means 

422
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,200
to take back. 
And this is the beautiful thing 

423
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,080
about our God. 
We don't have to look back 

424
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,880
because when we perceive what 
he's doing, we can receive all 

425
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,600
he has for us and he takes it 
back for us. 

426
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,120
So everything that was lost in 
the past, he's taken it back. 

427
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,360
Everything that was done to us, 
he's he's already gone and he's 

428
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,040
taking revenge for us. 
We don't have to worry about 

429
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,760
that because the victory is in 
him. 

430
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,680
Everything that was lost, 
everything that was stolen, 

431
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,560
everything that we left behind, 
everything that we laid down. 

432
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,960
Do you not perceive that? 
As you perceive and step into 

433
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,880
everything He has, you get to 
receive all that He has for you,

434
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,000
all that He has for you. 
Because when we perceive the new

435
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,040
that God is doing and obediently
let go of the old, we receive 

436
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:33,080
all of what He has for us. 
What was, is, and is to come. 

437
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,960
That's who my God is. 
So don't worry about what was 

438
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,840
God's doing it. 
Don't worry about what is right 

439
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,600
now God's doing it. 
Don't worry about what's to 

440
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,920
come. 
God's doing it. 

441
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,520
Perceive and receive all that he
has for you today. 

442
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:58,000
Church woo. 
And then Isaiah 43 verse 20, he 

443
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,760
reminds us, I will give waters 
in the wilderness and rivers in 

444
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,800
the desert to give drink to my 
people, my chosen. 

445
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,000
That's us. 
We're His people, we're his 

446
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,200
chosen. 
Why would he show us stuff if he

447
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,000
does? 
If we aren't his, we're his 

448
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,280
chosen. 
His set apart the people I 

449
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:24,880
formed for myself, that they may
set forth my praise. 

450
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,400
This is the reason for our 
existence is to praise the 

451
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:36,560
living God and our perception. 
It should move us to praise, 

452
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,520
which will transform our 
perception, which will move us 

453
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,400
to praise, which will transform 
our perception, which will move 

454
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,200
us to praise, which will 
transform our perception, which 

455
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240
will move us to praise, which 
will transform our perception. 

456
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,960
Every time we praise, things 
change because what ends up 

457
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,160
happening is praise is the Word 
of God. 

458
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,280
And when we allow the Word of 
God to come and infiltrate our 

459
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,120
mind, will we allow it to be the
thing that we meditate on? 

460
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,560
Because that's praise and 
worship is what we meditate. 

461
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,400
When we allow it to be the thing
that we think about and repeat 

462
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,880
over and over and over again, 
our mind is literally 

463
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,440
transformed. 
Neural pathways are recreated, 

464
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,960
like God actually physically 
transforms our mind. 

465
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,720
And in that we get mental 
health. 

466
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,640
In that we gain peace. 
In that, we gain greater faith. 

467
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,840
That's why he says everything 
you need is in my presence 

468
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,280
because I'm literally doing a 
new thing down to your biology. 

469
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,960
I am transforming the inner 
workings of your mind. 

470
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,280
That's what praise does. 
And so we need to take whatever 

471
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,960
janky old perspective that we 
had and put it under praise, put

472
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,160
it under the word of the Lord, 
put it under under joy, put it 

473
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,440
under peace, put it under love, 
put it under everything God is. 

474
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,120
Because when we do that, 
everything changes. 

475
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,600
And when our life starts to 
change, what we say starts to 

476
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,080
change, how we walk starts to 
change, how we talk starts to 

477
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,800
change. 
And you know what that means? 

478
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:21,480
The people around us, they start
to change because each one of us

479
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,000
are a drop in this giant pool 
that we call world population. 

480
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,000
But every drop has a ripple 
effect and it goes out and it 

481
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,800
hits the others, which hits 
others, which hits others, which

482
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,280
hits others. 
Imagine and sound moves in the 

483
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,880
same way sound moves in waves. 
So every time word is released, 

484
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,679
the waves go out and it hits 
somebody. 

485
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,360
Right now the only reason you're
hearing is because a sound wave 

486
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,360
has gone out and it's actually 
physically hit and impacted your

487
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,560
eardrum and caused it to 
vibrate, which then translates 

488
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,920
to your brain and you are able 
to figure out what I'm saying. 

489
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:04,880
Our words have physical impact, 
transformational impact, and 

490
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,320
that is the power of praise. 
That is the power of worship, 

491
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,800
worship and praise. 
And the Word of God being 

492
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,000
released leaves a physical 
impact on our physical bodies 

493
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,120
that causes physical 
transformation and physical 

494
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,520
healing and manifestation of the
glory of God and the Kingdom of 

495
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,080
heaven here on earth. 
And so my invitation to you 

496
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,840
today is to put your own 
perspective under your feet and 

497
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,800
put a praise on it. 
Put a praise on it like you have

498
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,200
never praised before. 
And it doesn't have to be in 

499
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,000
church. 
We aren't going to sing a song 

500
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,720
right now. 
But what I want you to do is 

501
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,880
even in your own mind, when 
thoughts come up, you're like, 

502
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,040
Nope, Lord, I'm putting a praise
on it. 

503
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,560
God, I glorify you. 
God, I praise you. 

504
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,520
God, I thank you. 
God, I've graced, I have 

505
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,000
gratitude towards you. 
Whatever it is, I'm going to put

506
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,160
that old thing under my feet and
put the Word of God on it so 

507
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,680
that my perspective will 
completely transform. 

508
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,400
Our perception should move us to
praise, and this is a cycle that

509
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,760
should never be broken because 
this is the kind of cycle that 

510
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,760
you put in place when you're 
breaking cycles and old 

511
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,800
bloodlines that the enemy has 
put in your bloodline before. 

512
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,920
You can't just break something 
off and hope nothing will come. 

513
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,960
But the Word says you can cast 
out a spirit, but if you don't 

514
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,400
replace it with something, it'll
come back seven times stronger. 

515
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,800
So we have to understand when we
break cycles in our life, when 

516
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,920
we break off things in our 
bloodline, we have to put a 

517
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,040
praise on it. 
When we break our old 

518
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,200
perceptions, we have to put a 
praise on it because that is our

519
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,080
weapon in how we wage war. 
That is how we move forward. 

520
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,800
That is how we will advance the 
Kingdom is through praise. 

521
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,880
Praise is what keeps us. 
Praise is what transforms us. 

522
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,000
We do not have time to look back
any longer. 

523
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,360
The world behind the cross 
before and I won't turn back. 

524
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,520
Say that with me. 
Say the world behind the cross 

525
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:16,360
before and I won't turn back. 
In Jesus name, help me. 

526
00:37:16,360 --> 00:38:00,040
Welcome up, Elder John. 
But at this point, if you've 

527
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:05,160
watched all of these things, you
may ask yourself, these people, 

528
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,640
everybody who get up there, 
they'd be like, thank you 

529
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,040
Pastor. 
Thank you Pastor. 

530
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,280
Effie then spoke three times. 
She's still saying thank you, 

531
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,480
pastor each time. 
Elder John spoke 8 times. 

532
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,320
You say thank you, pastor, every
time. 

533
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,240
Let me talk about that a little 
bit. 

534
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:18,760
This ain't my time. 
Let me talk about that. 

535
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:26,880
First off, we're we're we're a 
House of honor in a nation and 

536
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,840
the culture that knows nothing 
that knows baby, the only honor 

537
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,040
is the honor do unto themselves.
So we're trying to change 

538
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,000
culture number one. 
Number two, somebody came in 

539
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,520
today for the first time. 
We sang the song, we pointed, we

540
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,960
did the you. 
That's my part. 

541
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,520
That and the falsetto falsetto 
get some every time. 

542
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,160
I'm just saying right, we did 
that. 

543
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,080
So it's the first time they 
hearing us speak. 

544
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,640
So for them, it's a first time 
saying here and a thank you for 

545
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,920
some people who've never known 
what a pastor is, the gratitude 

546
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,960
we show for our pastors helps 
them understand. 

547
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,200
Maybe a pastor is something I 
need if that if that's if that 

548
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,280
what is what it does. 
I see the gratitude. 

549
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,840
Maybe there's something about 
that, but also too, it 

550
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,200
contributes to what I'm talking 
about regarding momentum. 

551
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,360
OK, honor helps maximize 
momentum. 

552
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,840
The Bible says this, that the 
angels cried holy honor, then 

553
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,320
the other Angel began to cry 
holy honor, then the other Angel

554
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,960
be crying cried holy honor, and 
the other Angel be cried holy 

555
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,800
honor. 
And they continued honoring God 

556
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:39,760
back and forth to the praise of 
His glory continually at new 

557
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,600
revelations of who God is. 
One of the things that keeps 

558
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:50,120
momentum in your life is honor. 
So for us, the privilege to give

559
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,880
honor is important as a house, 
as a culture, because it helps 

560
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,480
keep our momentum and keep our 
recognition of who God has 

561
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:03,360
established in our presence. 
And we just thank God that we 

562
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,840
got past as worthy of honor, 
past as worthy of respect, past 

563
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,000
as worthy of what recognizing 
what they've laid down to do in 

564
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,760
our lives. 
And I just wanted to give some 

565
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,800
prophetic context to that for 
those that here. 

566
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,080
Amen. 
Now is my time. 

567
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:28,240
Thank you. 
So I began this morning. 

568
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:29,960
I encourage you to go take a 
look at the message this 

569
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,160
morning. 
I'm not going to repeat all of 

570
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,200
that. 
Talking about maximizing 

571
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,320
momentum, the question came 
after 24 hours of prayer on a 

572
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,960
Saturday and a whole week of 
prayer. 

573
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,920
How do you keep the momentum of 
praying? 

574
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,800
And so one of the things we 
talked about this morning is 

575
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,040
momentum needs to be kept. 
Why 24 hours of prayer? 

576
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,720
We have maybe 30 people here at 
sometimes even at 2:00 in the 

577
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:56,320
morning, 3:00 in the morning, 30
people here sinking loud, 30 

578
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,520
people. 
The next time we gather for 

579
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,760
prayer, which is last Saturday, 
we maybe had five or seven, 

580
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,040
right? 
So people need to know how to 

581
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,800
keep the momentum in terms of 
what God is doing. 

582
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,680
Amen. 
Now, I want to tell you this, 

583
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,680
even star players got to be 
coachable. 

584
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,560
It's not a condemnation. 
That's the coaching point, 

585
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,440
right? 
If you feel condemned, that's 

586
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,960
you. 
If you feel convicted, that's 

587
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,360
God. 
If you feel challenged, that's 

588
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,320
the that's the anointing on the 
House to encourage us to grow 

589
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,960
more. 
So I said a few things about 

590
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,960
what the momentum is to set up a
context for today. 

591
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,760
So I'm going to hit on those 
just a little bit. 

592
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,840
One, momentum cannot be 
conserved or preserved, right? 

593
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:39,760
It's something that goes or 
comes. 

594
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,040
You can't hold it. 
If you keep it a status quo, you

595
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,200
will lose momentum because 
things in life, gravity pulls 

596
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,840
down. 
What are those things? 

597
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,960
Familiarity. 
What are those things? 

598
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,880
Commonness. 
What are those things? 

599
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,560
Busyness. 
What are those things? 

600
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,240
The flesh as was talked about 
What? 

601
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,760
What are those things that keep 
you weighed down? 

602
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,880
So momentum cannot be conserved 
or preserved on its own. 

603
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,440
It can only increase or 
decrease. 

604
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,440
It only goes up or down. 
You have to do something with 

605
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,960
it. 
If you left to its own, it will 

606
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,160
fizzle out. 
It also follows a pattern of 

607
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,080
load and release. 
The many times momentum requires

608
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,400
you to do this in order to go 
forward, right? 

609
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,400
To get momentum. 
You come back, you load and you 

610
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,360
release. 
You don't go backwards, you 

611
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,560
load. 
It's different like what F was 

612
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,840
talking about. 
You don't look back, but you 

613
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,400
remember what God is doing, 
right? 

614
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,880
And so you load and that's kind 
of the cycle She was talking 

615
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,840
about the praise and perception.
You begin to come back and you 

616
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,320
praise, you get momentum to see 
something new. 

617
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,720
So involves load and release. 
Load and release. 

618
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:46,040
Everyone say load and release. 
It's designed to overcome 

619
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,000
inertia. 
What's inertia? 

620
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,360
It's being stuck right now. 
Inertia has me stuck here. 

621
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,160
OK, Momentum comes to help move 
you from stuckness to movement, 

622
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,360
and the power it takes to move 
you from stuckness is far 

623
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,280
greater than the power it takes 
to keep you moving. 

624
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,520
Better. 
Said another way, it's harder to

625
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,040
get you to move than it is to 
keep you moving. 

626
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,040
That's why it's important to 
understand how to maintain and 

627
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,040
maximize momentum. 
Because if you let it go out, 

628
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,600
you'll find yourself at a 
standstill, stuck. 

629
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,720
Now you need even more to get 
unstuck again. 

630
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,480
So we talked a little bit about 
about that and we said it's a 

631
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,320
tool for breakthrough, not an 
end goal. 

632
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,720
The purpose of momentum is to 
give you power to overcome 

633
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:31,400
something, to breakthrough a 
barrier, breakthrough a wall, or

634
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,760
to overcome a situation. 
It's an earth tool, not a heaven

635
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,360
tool. 
And the reason, and this is my, 

636
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,680
my take on this, the reason I 
suggest it is, is because 

637
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:47,000
momentum has direction, OK? 
It has direction to it and it 

638
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,840
has a beginning to it. 
And anything that has a 

639
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,200
beginning to it is an earth 
thing. 

640
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,040
Heaven is run by God who has no 
beginning and no end. 

641
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:57,880
His peace has no beginning, no 
end. 

642
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,480
His love has no beginning and no
end. 

643
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,480
So momentum is not something I 
think we're going to be using in

644
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,000
heaven. 
We're just going to be 

645
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,600
constantly, as if he was talking
about constantly in this place 

646
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,680
of praising and worshiping, 
frictionless without being 

647
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,480
weighed down by anything. 
We'll be able to continue praise

648
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,960
night and day because there's 
nothing pulling us back, nothing

649
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,440
holding us down South. 
Momentum is a earth thing, so 

650
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,200
let's use it. 
It's a tool. 

651
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,040
Let's figure out a way to make 
the most of it for us, right? 

652
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,040
So I want to go today's 
afternoon's time and say there's

653
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,640
12 keys to maintain, you know, 
maximizing momentum. 

654
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,120
Everyone say 12 keys. 
We got a lot of keys around 

655
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,480
here, right? 
Today's, today's culture calls 

656
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,360
them cheat codes. 
You got a cheat code. 

657
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,360
OK, some things are, are are are
heuristic, something that's a 

658
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,480
key, something that's easy to 
remember, something to focus you

659
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,760
as you move forward. 
So the 12 keys I have for Max, 

660
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:57,000
Max maintaining or maximizing 
momentum, The first key is to 

661
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:02,160
ask the Lord, I want to maintain
momentum from that prayer time 

662
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,120
on, on Saturday, 24 hours. 
The 1st way you learn to 

663
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,400
maximize or maintain momentum 
and say, Lord, how do I maintain

664
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,800
momentum in this? 
Because the Lord knows what you 

665
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,920
need to do to be at or how you 
need to respond to maintain the 

666
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,320
momentum that you need. 
What is needed for her to 

667
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,280
maintain be be different than 
what's needed for him to 

668
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:24,840
maintain. 
And the Lord knows and sometimes

669
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,520
the Lord says it's a you need to
ask me these three questions. 

670
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,040
Sometimes it's not an action, 
it's a question because your 

671
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,800
question sparks desire. 
Desire, as was talked about 

672
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,560
earlier, leads to further 
questions. 

673
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,640
Questions leads God's to 
uncovering himself and show what

674
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,800
she got that question. 
Let me show you who I am in that

675
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,920
area, OK? 
Ask the Lord. 

676
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,520
Everyone say ask the Lord. 
That's always a good first step 

677
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:47,760
in anything. 
Just about it anyway. 

678
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,440
Just don't want to let you know 
#2 target something bigger than 

679
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,960
you. 
So for the rest of the time, I 

680
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,520
want to reference First Samuel 
17. 

681
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,880
I'll ask to go to some scripture
sometimes, or I just speak from 

682
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,800
them. 
I'm giving you the chapter so 

683
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,640
you can study on your own. 
First Samuel 17 one, it's the 

684
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,120
story about David and Goliath. 
So first Samuel 17 chapter verse

685
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:15,960
four says this. 
Then a champion from Gath called

686
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,960
Goliath stood up. 
Goliath was bigger than 

687
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,360
everybody. 
How many of y'all think you got 

688
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,680
a big head in here? 
I got a big head when I was 

689
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,680
graduating from 12th grade. 
The cap and gown company, they 

690
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,840
had to go back and send for the 
extra wide for my head. 

691
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:36,280
OK, that's a fact. 
So Goliath was bigger. 

692
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,120
The glass represent it more than
just the size of a man. 

693
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:43,720
You represent a a an 
embarrassment of of the people 

694
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:47,600
of God and the Kingdom. 
It was Kingdom fights, not just 

695
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,600
army fights. 
One of the ways you maximize or 

696
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,280
increase momentum is target 
something bigger than you. 

697
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,400
It will keep you asking 
questions. 

698
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,680
It would keep you out of your 
comfort zone when you are only 

699
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,440
dealing with issues that are 
small. 

700
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,960
As you it is easier to lose your
momentum. 

701
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:09,240
I don't need momentum to do base
to brush my teeth, but I do need

702
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:12,320
momentum to figure out how to 
give good dentistry to the 

703
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,360
poorest nations in the world. 
That's bigger than me. 

704
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,240
I can't do that on my own. 
OK, so target something bigger 

705
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:21,480
than you. 
Remember what's at stake for 

706
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,120
you. 
Everyone say, remember what's at

707
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:29,160
stake. 
David said this the men of 

708
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,040
Israel, this is first Samuel 17,
verse 25. 

709
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,280
The men of Israel said, have you
seen this man who's coming up? 

710
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,880
Surely he's coming up to defy 
Israel. 

711
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,240
The king will reward the man who
kills them with great riches and

712
00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:43,680
will give him his daughter in 
marriage and make his father's 

713
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,160
house free from taxes and 
service in Israel. 

714
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,000
Then David spoke to the man who 
was standing by him. 

715
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,520
What will be done for the man 
who kills this Philistine and 

716
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,280
removes the disgrace of his 
taunting from Israel? 

717
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,640
For who is this uncircumcised 
Philistine that he has taunted 

718
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,680
and defied the armies of the 
living God? 

719
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,080
The men told him this is what 
will be done for the man who 

720
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,240
kills them. 
When you know what's in it for 

721
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:09,440
you, helps keep you motivated, 
helps keep your momentum. 

722
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,080
If you don't think there's 
nothing in it for you, your 

723
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,800
momentum dies. 
If you don't think coming to 

724
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,040
prayer on Saturday is going to 
do something for you, it's easy 

725
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,240
to fill your calendar with other
stuff, including sleep. 

726
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,800
If you don't think this, this 
remnant project we're doing in 

727
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,240
this place over here, it's not 
going to do something for you. 

728
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,960
It's easy to fall asleep on it. 
If you think there's nothing in 

729
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,840
it for you, then it's harder to 
maintain your momentum. 

730
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,120
But when you know there's 
something in it for you, however

731
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,000
you define you, whether it's me 
individually, my generation, my 

732
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,160
bloodline, my family, there's 
got to be something in it for 

733
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,160
you. 
And I encourage you to 

734
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,320
investigate those things that 
helps maintain momentum, 

735
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:59,280
Redeclare the past victories. 
David goes on to say this to 

736
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,640
Saul. 
Killed the lion, killed the 

737
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,600
bear. 
He rehearsed the past victories 

738
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,400
to give him momentum for the 
fight ahead. 

739
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,560
OK. 
But then only you have to 

740
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,800
rehearse the past victories. 
That's one thing. 

741
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:18,280
But you also have to rehearse 
redeclare. 

742
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,800
When I rehearse, I would say 
redeclare, redeclare the past 

743
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,600
victories. 
You also have to redeclare the 

744
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,560
God of the past victories. 
It's one thing to say the lion 

745
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,960
and the bear. 
It's something else to say the 

746
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,000
God who gave them to me is the 
same God going to give me you. 

747
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,200
That's different. 
Your victory goes old, God bless

748
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,120
me with the car. 
The car dies, the car gets old, 

749
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,840
it depreciates. 
But the God who provided for me 

750
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,280
in my need to go where I needed 
to go, that same God is going to

751
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,400
keep me going wherever else I 
need to go. 

752
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,280
The God of your victory never 
dies. 

753
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,040
So you got to redeclare, 
redeclare, that redeclare. 

754
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,880
You got to open your mouth and 
say some things. 

755
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,760
Praise perception we were 
talking about and that 24 hours 

756
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,120
of prayer put it practical. 
There were some topics we went 

757
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,680
over during that time of prayer.
First slide of topics begins 

758
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:18,120
with return. 
So let's make it practical. 

759
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,600
How do I build momentum out of 
24 hours of prayer? 

760
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,360
You load up. 
God, I thank you that we did 

761
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,320
return. 
I thank you that we did cry out 

762
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,560
to you. 
I thank you God, I have no more 

763
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,800
excuses. 
I thank you, God that I am 

764
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,280
excelling. 
I thank you. 

765
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,920
I'm loading for that momentum. 
Now that's loading on the 

766
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,080
victory. 
Now that's practice loading on 

767
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,720
the God of the victory. 
I thank you that the God who 

768
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:44,600
excelled me is excelling 
everyone else that I know. 

769
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,520
The God who excelled me in that 
24 hours is excelling My city to

770
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,360
salvation is excelling my family
to deliverance is excelling this

771
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,080
church to unity. 
The God who did that for me on 

772
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,000
that 24 hours, The God opened my
eyes in that 24 hours. 

773
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,320
I'll get it. 
So you know a lot of topics, you

774
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,360
got to remember what was done. 
You got to remember your 

775
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:12,920
identity as well. 
David says to Saul, Saul, I 

776
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,080
can't fight your armor, bro. 
It's not going to work. 

777
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,200
I got to be who I am. 
So how do you keep momentum in 

778
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,920
prayer being you don't try to 
pray like me. 

779
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:27,680
Pray like you. 
Pray from your life, pray from 

780
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,360
your testimony, pray from what 
God's done in your own life. 

781
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,840
You don't have to be loud like 
me. 

782
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:36,840
The Godfather. 
The godfather said this. 

783
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,160
I'm gonna make your offer. 
I could not refuse. 

784
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,200
He was quiet, but he was bold. 
Bold can be loud. 

785
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,200
Bold can be soft, but be bold. 
And whatever you are in how you 

786
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,520
pray, Amen. 
Remember your idea to simplify 

787
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,560
your focus. 
Davis said I'm going to get fire

788
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,240
stones. 
That's all I need, fire stones. 

789
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,160
And out of that five, I'm going 
to get one. 

790
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,920
How do you keep momentum from 
praying 24 hours? 

791
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,840
God, we prayed about one thing 
from the 24 hours. 

792
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,840
I'm going to focus on that for 
the next two weeks. 

793
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,600
I'm going to simplify my focus. 
I'm not going to trade or get 

794
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,000
momentum from everything we 
prayed about in the 24 hours. 

795
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,160
I'm going to pick one thing and 
I'm going to focus on that. 

796
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,000
Focus on thanking you for that. 
Focus on remembering the God who

797
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,120
did it for me is the God's doing
it for someone else. 

798
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,960
I'm going to focus. 
Simplify your focus. 

799
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:33,320
Boldly declare the God you knew 
into your now. 

800
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:39,360
Boldly declare the God you knew 
into your now. 

801
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:44,720
So David talked to Saul and 
said, Lion and the bear. 

802
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,640
The God would deliver me from 
this one too. 

803
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,920
But then he went and began to 
talk to the Philistine, and this

804
00:52:52,920 --> 00:53:03,200
is what he said. 
Verse 20, verse 45, put that one

805
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,840
up. 
This is what he said. 

806
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,880
He, he, he declared, boldly 
declared to God he knew into 

807
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,560
his. 
Now he gave the testimony to 

808
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,600
Saul. 
But now I'm facing Goliath. 

809
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,680
And then David said to the 
Philistine, You come at me with 

810
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,720
a sword and a spear and a 
javelin, but I come to you in 

811
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:27,120
the name of the Lord of hosts 
whom you have defied. 

812
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,240
And this day the Lord will 
deliver you into my hand, and I 

813
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:34,960
will smite you and cut off, cut 
you off from the earth. 

814
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,040
And I will smite you, cut off 
your head. 

815
00:53:37,240 --> 00:53:40,640
And I will give the corpses of 
the army of the Philistines this

816
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,720
day to the birds of the air and 
the wild beasts of the earth, 

817
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:49,160
that all the earth may know that
there is a God in Israel. 

818
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:53,720
Boldly declare the God that you 
knew into your right now He 

819
00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:56,680
bolded up to stretch forth in 
confidence and in prayer that 

820
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,480
God's going to do and B who he 
said he was going to do. 

821
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,680
And B you got to advance with 
urgency. 

822
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,360
Scripture says David ran towards
Goliath. 

823
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,720
He didn't back up and once he 
ran it through the through the 

824
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:13,960
rock and he was down, he ran to 
get over them. 

825
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,480
So you got to advance with 
urgency, but you also got to 

826
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,480
continue with urgency. 
And as you do, you reach a place

827
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,640
of rest. 
The scripture says David stood 

828
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:28,760
over Goliath, and it's in that 
place of rest. 

829
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:34,360
And in victory, he took the 
sword, cut off his head. 

830
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,400
Declaring your victory transfers
the momentum to others. 

831
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,880
Declaring the victory of what 
was won through 24 hours of 

832
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,760
prayer will transfer momentum to
others. 

833
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,640
Hey, Mark, guess what God did 
for me in 24 hours of prayer? 

834
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,440
Guess what he said? 
Guess what he moved? 

835
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,760
Guess how he blessed? 
Guess how my family's changed 

836
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,440
because how the church is going 
now he's getting the momentum. 

837
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,200
I'm declaring my victory. 
I'm taking the head of my 

838
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,920
enemies and saying, see, I got 
me a head boy, go get you one. 

839
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,960
And now he's getting excited 
about how can I get to some of 

840
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,120
that when we going through 24 
again? 

841
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,880
You ain't got to wait again. 
You can start right now. 

842
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,920
You can 20 before on your own if
you want to. 

843
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:17,560
Ain't nobody holding you back. 
Maximizing and maintaining your 

844
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,320
momentum is essential, 
particularly in prayer. 

845
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:27,000
And my prayer is that Father may
that which was spoken as led by 

846
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,960
your spirit today, activating 
your people to maintain and 

847
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,800
maximize the momentum we gain 
through prayer. 

848
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:39,640
But in every other area of life,
in Jesus name, Amen. 

849
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,720
I wanna welcome up Pastor 
Daniela. 

850
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:49,040
It's gonna drop a bomb on you. 
Hey, man. 

851
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:23,760
Attracting me and doing it in 
love and for standing where the 

852
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,360
new me was until I could stand 
there for myself. 

853
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,600
Thank you so much. 
Thank you for this opportunity 

854
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:35,600
to partner with you and what God
is saying through you in this 

855
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,600
house for this community. 
I don't take it lightly and I 

856
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,760
love you and I miss you. 
What an alley oop. 

857
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,720
Here's the thing fam, you can't 
evolve. 

858
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:52,840
You cannot evolve with momentum 
and a new perspective unless you

859
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:57,240
know Jesus. 
You cannot evolve with momentum 

860
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,240
and a new perspective without 
knowing Jesus. 

861
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:06,240
Today we're taking a journey 
towards enough and abolishing 

862
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:12,240
everything that is anti enough. 
So we stand here today and we 

863
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:16,800
say enough is enough, enough is 
enough. 

864
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,720
The slide is going to come up in
a second. 

865
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,240
Enough is enough. 
Who's ever been frustrated by 

866
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:26,000
something? 
Family contention? 

867
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,320
Maybe you're frustrated at work.
Maybe the wrestle that you've 

868
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,640
had with God, you're just so fed
up and you're just like, enough 

869
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,000
is enough. 
And let me tell you, God is 

870
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,680
saying the same thing to you. 
He's saying enough is enough. 

871
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,760
My desire is to get you to 
enough is enough. 

872
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:58,440
Settled, resolved, convicted. 
Romans 81 says this. 

873
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:03,040
So now there is no condemnation 
for those who belong to Christ. 

874
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,800
And because you belong to Him, 
the power of the living Spirit, 

875
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,720
the life giving Spirit has freed
you from the power of sin that 

876
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:19,080
leads to death. 
In the AMP it says, therefore, 

877
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,120
there is now no condemnation, no
guilty verdict, no punishment 

878
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,840
for those who are in Christ 
Jesus, who believe in him as 

879
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:32,280
personal Lord and Savior. 
The enemy is after you're in 

880
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,000
Christ Ness and he is doing it 
through condemnation. 

881
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:43,040
If the enemy can attack you and 
keep you unsettled, then he also

882
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:48,440
keeps everyone else around you 
unsettled and wavering and 

883
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:53,960
tossed to and fro. 
And we are called to soul win. 

884
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,760
And in order to soul win, we 
need to be convicted and 

885
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:04,840
confident that we are his, that 
He is ours, and that we are 

886
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,680
enough. 
So say this with me. 

887
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:13,120
Say enough is enough, my 
unsettled days are settled. 

888
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:20,320
Why do we yearn for more and 
think we aren't enough when 

889
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:24,360
enough lives in us? 
So enough here, Capital EM 

890
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,920
referring to Jesus. 
Why? 

891
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,160
Why do? 
We yearn for more and we think 

892
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,120
we're not enough. 
There's plenty of people in the 

893
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:36,680
Bible that actually demonstrate 
that Jesus to them was more than

894
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,520
enough. 
The woman with the issue of 

895
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,200
blood, she's just like, I don't 
even need to have a conversation

896
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,160
with you. 
I don't need you to pray for me.

897
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,240
I don't even need you to speak 
to me. 

898
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:51,720
You are so enough that all I 
need to do is touch the hem and 

899
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,800
I know that I'm going to be 
healed and it's so can we go to 

900
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,000
the next slide? 
There we go. 

901
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,400
And it's so interesting because 
the story of Jay Iris's daughter

902
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,000
happens directly after it's 
actually on the way to that 

903
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,560
moment. 
And Jay Iris is just like, OK, 

904
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,040
well, now she's dead. 
So now there's no hope. 

905
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,960
And Jesus is like, I'm enough. 
She's not dead. 

906
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,720
She's just sleeping to leave the
comb little girl get up. 

907
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,000
And she would she did you see 
with the woman with the 

908
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,440
alabaster jar, We see with the 
woman with two mites, the 

909
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,920
centurion who's like, just send 
your word. 

910
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,400
I know it's enough. 
You don't even need to go. 

911
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:35,320
Just send your word. 
We see it with Mary, Mary and 

912
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,600
Martha, where Martha was like so
busy with life and Mary was just

913
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:44,640
there knowing that Jesus was 
enough. 

914
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:50,440
That is the Lord's desire for us
today, to abolish anything that 

915
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:55,360
is anti enough and to know that 
we know that we know that He is.

916
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:01,240
We live in the world but are not
of the world and we mustn't let 

917
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,720
the distractions of the world 
keep us from remembering our 

918
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,360
enough. 
There is a difference between 

919
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:11,240
knowing He's enough and letting 
Him be enough. 

920
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:15,200
It's very different. 
So how do we let him be enough? 

921
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,880
We have to give him access to 
every area of our life. 

922
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:26,800
Not just the Sundays, not just 
the midweek Wednesdays, not just

923
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,080
when we're at worship rehearsal,
not just when we're at a coffee 

924
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,120
discipling someone. 
We have to give him access to 

925
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,520
every area of our life. 
That's our finances, our 

926
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,480
relationships, our workplace, 
when we're doing homework for 

927
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:46,080
school, every area He needs to 
be lured because there there is 

928
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:52,920
revelation of who you are when 
you give him access to you, and 

929
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:58,920
you also let him be enough when 
you quieten the other voices. 

930
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:04,840
Galatians 5 says this. 
You are running the race so 

931
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,800
well. 
Who has held you back from 

932
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,840
following the truth? 
It certainly isn't God, for He 

933
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,800
is the one who called you to 
freedom. 

934
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,160
This false teaching is like a 
little yeast that spreads 

935
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,160
throughout the whole batch of 
dough. 

936
01:02:26,410 --> 01:02:28,650
Next slide when you're ready. 
There we go. 

937
01:02:28,650 --> 01:02:32,170
I am trusting the Lord to keep 
you from believing false 

938
01:02:32,170 --> 01:02:35,280
teachings. 
God will judge that person, 

939
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,840
whoever it is who has been 
confusing you. 

940
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,800
When we let Him be enough, we 
are enough. 

941
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,200
And it's not something we need 
to strive for. 

942
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,560
It is something that we are 
because He is. 

943
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,880
He created us in His image and 
likeness. 

944
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,160
So we don't even have to do 
anything to earn enough. 

945
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,960
We just are enough. 
What we need to do is remove the

946
01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:05,080
scales from our eyes to actually
receive that revelation. 

947
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,640
Deuteronomy 29, five to six is 
this. 

948
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,280
I took you through the 
wilderness for 40 years and 

949
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,080
through all the time, all that 
time the clothes on your back 

950
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,240
didn't wear out, the sandals on 
your feet didn't wear out, and 

951
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:22,080
you lived well, proving to you 
that I am in fact God, your God.

952
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:27,200
If He dresses the lilies with 
beauty and splendor, how much 

953
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,360
more is going to clothe you? 
If He watches over every 

954
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:35,120
Sparrow, how much more does He 
love you? 

955
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:40,600
What more do you need church to 
receive the love of God and know

956
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,360
that you're enough? 
What is it going to take? 

957
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,520
He's demonstrated and proven 
that He is enough. 

958
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:52,280
If we believe that He is the 
same God now as He was back then

959
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:57,320
and the God that is to come, 
enough is enough. 

960
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,720
It's really hard to sell Jesus 
if you don't even think he's 

961
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,280
enough. 
So you sell him as an option. 

962
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,680
This one hit me when Pastor 
Terrence said it in this sermon.

963
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,560
Enough back in March, I believe 
it was. 

964
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,960
I was like, oh, OK. 
And then God said to me, because

965
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,640
if you sell them as an option, 
options breed confusion. 

966
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,520
And confusion leads to unsettled
and unsatisfied. 

967
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:27,440
Always. 
It always does. 

968
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,920
And when you're unsettled and 
unsatisfied, that leads to 

969
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,360
lukewarmness. 
And so you can't win first your 

970
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,760
own soul, and you can't win the 
souls that God has ordainedly 

971
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:43,080
connected you to when you're 
unsettled and unsatisfied. 

972
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,200
Psalm 42 says this. 
I love it. 

973
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:54,760
It's the dear pants longingly 
desire for the water brooks. 

974
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:02,600
So my soul pants longingly 
desire for you, O God, my soul, 

975
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:07,640
my life, my inner self thirsts 
for God, for the living God. 

976
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,160
When will I come and see the 
face of God? 

977
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,840
Question. 
Your level of desire will always

978
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,760
lead to questions. 
Elder John said that so 

979
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:23,240
eloquently yesterday in Prayer 
Sun Shameless plug, you should 

980
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,240
all come to prayer. 
It's incredible. 

981
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,440
Your level of desire will always
lead to questions. 

982
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,960
It's a sonship issue. 
It's an identity issue. 

983
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:36,880
When you ask the right 
questions, it will always lead 

984
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,440
to sonship being inquiring of 
your father. 

985
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,280
You see this with little kids. 
Why, why, why? 

986
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,840
Now the why, why, why I make it 
a little irritating. 

987
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,240
I don't know. 
I don't have kids, but I do have

988
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,000
a niece and nephew. 
But the fact that they're asking

989
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,560
questions should demonstrate to 
you a desire, their desire. 

990
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,120
Now, if you don't have questions
or you're asking the wrong 

991
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,440
questions, that's what leads to 
confusion. 

992
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,000
OK, so if you don't have 
questions, that makes sense. 

993
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,080
That leads to confusion because 
of the inertia. 

994
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,680
You're saying stagnant. 
You're still there's no momentum

995
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,800
moving you forward towards 
Christ, but you might be going. 

996
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,120
OK, well pastor, do what are 
wrong questions? 

997
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:18,680
I don't even know what that 
means. 

998
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,000
Here's some examples. 
Why them not me? 

999
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,440
How come I can't do the things 
that they that they do the way 

1000
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,320
that they do them? 
Why is my hair brown and not 

1001
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,880
blonde? 
Why are my feet a size 9 instead

1002
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,040
of a size 8? 
Here's one for you that I used 

1003
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,440
to ask myself or ask God all the
time. 

1004
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,720
Why didn't you give me these 
beautiful green eyes that you 

1005
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,360
gave my brother and my father, 
and instead you gave me these 

1006
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,360
ordinary brown eyes that you 
gave my mom? 

1007
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:51,840
Why, why, why, why, why all of 
these questions that are the 

1008
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,160
wrong questions to ask. 
And I'm going to flip the 

1009
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,560
conversation because you could 
be saying why them? 

1010
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:01,200
Not me, but you could also be 
saying why me and not them. 

1011
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:04,760
I don't have a song inside of 
me. 

1012
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,400
I can't pray like the pastors 
and the elders. 

1013
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,640
Why are you calling me the 
children's ministry when I don't

1014
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,600
even have kids? 
I think someone better fit for 

1015
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,120
that ministry would be someone 
who has children. 

1016
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,560
They should be the ones serving 
in that ministry. 

1017
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,280
These are all questions that 
count yourself out and they 

1018
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:26,400
always lead to confusion. 
And so if you're having these, 

1019
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,520
this conversation in your head, 
this is what you need to abolish

1020
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:34,000
because this conversation is as 
if to say you're not enough and 

1021
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:39,520
that God made you incomplete. 
He did not make you incomplete. 

1022
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,480
He made you fearfully and 
wonderfully made. 

1023
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,440
That's where you need to get to 
a place to instead of there's 

1024
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,160
something wrong with me. 
It's like, OK, God, you made me 

1025
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:51,280
this way. 
Why? 

1026
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,480
You said it's enough. 
Why? 

1027
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,760
What do you have for me from 
that perspective? 

1028
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,720
Here is a beautiful example of 
sonship. 

1029
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:06,960
Matthew 11 says this. 
Jesus resumed talking to the 

1030
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:11,800
people, but now tenderly. 
The Father has given me all 

1031
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:16,439
these things to do and say. 
This is a unique Father, Son 

1032
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:21,359
operation coming out of the 
Father and Son intimacies and 

1033
01:08:21,359 --> 01:08:24,080
knowledge. 
No one knows the Son the way the

1034
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:28,000
Father does, nor the Father the 
way the Son does. 

1035
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:30,880
But I'm keeping, but I'm not 
keeping it to myself. 

1036
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:35,240
I'm ready to go over it line by 
line with anyone who is willing 

1037
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,160
to listen. 
Scripture says we have 

1038
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,080
everything we need in life for 
life and godliness. 

1039
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,040
But the other part of that 
scripture says through the 

1040
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,920
knowledge of Him, we know who we
are. 

1041
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:49,880
Through the knowledge of Him, 
our enoughness comes from the 

1042
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,279
knowledge of Him. 
There is a worship team you can 

1043
01:08:53,279 --> 01:08:56,200
come up. 
There is a level of who you are 

1044
01:08:56,200 --> 01:09:00,080
that can only be unlocked in the
letting Him be enough. 

1045
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,880
I'm gonna say that again. 
There is a level of who you are 

1046
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,359
that can only be unlocked in the
letting him be enough. 

1047
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:11,040
When you know he's enough, 
you'll know he made you enough. 

1048
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,120
That's it. 
That's it. 

1049
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:21,479
His enoughness is a key. 
His enoughness is a key, and it 

1050
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,279
is key. 
His enoughness is a key, and it 

1051
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:31,200
is key if the enemy can keep you
from not believing. 

1052
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,760
But knowing Jesus is enough, you
remain. 

1053
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,200
Wanderer and Wanderers are 
intertwined in cycles of 

1054
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:43,960
unsettleness, confusion, being 
tossed to and fro, lukewarmness.

1055
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:47,279
And it is a cycle that repeats 
itself, and the Lord wants to 

1056
01:09:47,279 --> 01:09:53,439
abolish that today. 
Enough means incurring in such 

1057
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:58,880
quantity, quality, or scope is 
to fully meet demands, needs, or

1058
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:02,200
expectations. 
And another definition says this

1059
01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:08,320
in, in, or to a degree or 
quantity that satisfies or that 

1060
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,000
is sufficient or necessary for 
satisfaction. 

1061
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,360
We sing songs all the time that 
Jesus is sufficient. 

1062
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,960
Jesus, you're enough. 
When are we actually going to 

1063
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,240
believe that? 
And I'm not saying that you 

1064
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,600
don't, but I'm offering it as a 
question for you to ask 

1065
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,240
yourself, Do I really believe it
when I'm standing here 

1066
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,600
worshiping the Lord and saying 
Jesus, you're enough, you'll 

1067
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,080
always be enough, you've always 
been enough, Jesus, you're 

1068
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,200
enough. 
Do we believe that? 

1069
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:42,120
Why do you struggle with the 
Lord being enough for you when 

1070
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,480
He has always only said you're 
enough for me? 

1071
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,960
We don't have to do anything to 
earn Jesus. 

1072
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,560
We don't have anything to that. 
We don't need to do anything to 

1073
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,400
earn our enoughness. 
He has already said we're enough

1074
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,280
and it is our job to believe it 
and receive it. 

1075
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:08,080
To move from knowing to 
believing it, to letting Him be 

1076
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:14,120
enough because enough is enough.
Amen. 

1077
01:11:14,560 --> 01:37:10,880
Thank you. 
Thank you so much for tuning 

1078
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,440

We pray you were challenged, 

1079
01:37:13,440 --> 01:37:17,000
equipped and encouraged. 
Make sure to follow us on all 

1080
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,200

That's Lovequest Intl church. 

1081
01:37:20,440 --> 01:37:22,640
We out here for real.
