1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,720
Okay.

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Now, I'm gonna move quickly,
and I promise, for as much as I'm

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,040
a preacher as I am, I'm gonna
teach today.

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,160
Now, I might teach very loudly
at some points, but it's a teaching.

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,120
And so you're gonna have to
take notes on this one.

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:25,840
As.

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,720
As a matter of fact, my number
one concern getting up in front of

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,880
you today was that you would not.

9
00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:35,100
Cause I went through this
message several times, and I thought,

10
00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:37,340
this is a download from heaven.

11
00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:41,140
I did not know that there
would be a divine convergence with

12
00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:44,700
what's happening in our world,
with what God wants me to preach

13
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:45,820
from this pulpit.

14
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:49,260
But how many of you know that
there are some pulpits in America

15
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:53,060
that don't have spineless
pastors that will actually be humble

16
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:56,380
and submitted to the Lord and
say whatever he wants them to say?

17
00:00:56,780 --> 00:00:58,700
And so this pulpit is sacred.

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,750
And there's a reason why God's
brought many of you here to hear

19
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:02,510
this message.

20
00:01:02,590 --> 00:01:07,030
And in all humility, I was
shocked when I saw the convergence

21
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:09,950
of what's happening in time
with what's happening through this

22
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:10,430
message.

23
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:11,550
So try to take.

24
00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:16,030
I'm imploring you, even those
of you watching with ADD adhd.

25
00:01:16,030 --> 00:01:19,390
I'm praying you're
miraculously cured during this sermon,

26
00:01:19,710 --> 00:01:20,670
because you.

27
00:01:20,990 --> 00:01:21,390
Please.

28
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:22,790
It already happened.

29
00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:23,870
You were like squirrel.

30
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,360
Come on, focus.

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,880
The spirit is willing, but the
flesh is weak.

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,080
All right?

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,080
So please stay with me.

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,080
All right, so as I begin, I've
been reading the Scriptures.

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280
I'm gonna have a book
available to you called Journey with

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,120
Jesus that we're wrapping up.

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,880
And I all of a sudden, became
aware of a pattern.

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,980
And I never saw this before,
and I started to write it down and

39
00:01:51,980 --> 00:01:52,500
look at it.

40
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:53,380
So here's the pattern.

41
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:58,020
Number one is, kings are
supposed to be born in palaces.

42
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:01,460
And this is what we expect
from royalty.

43
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:05,780
You know, it's clean, it's
safe, it's on a lofty high hill.

44
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:11,140
But when God sends the true
king, he sends him into a manger.

45
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:16,380
And so Jesus starts his story
not in a palace, but in a manger.

46
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:19,860
And so if you look at Luke,
chapter 2, verse 7, it says, and

47
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:23,240
she gave birth to her
firstborn son and wrapped him in

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,440
swaddling clothes and laid him
in a manger because there was no

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,880
room for him in the inn.

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,080
So a manger, really, in that
time, was most likely a stone feeding

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,480
trough.

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,440
So it would have been a place
where animals ate.

53
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,920
And Jesus is placed into the
very place you don't put your baby,

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,760
if you've ever had a baby.

55
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,880
You know what I'm talking about?

56
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,520
Now I'm not talking about the
third born.

57
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Because by the time you get to
the third born, and if you're a third

58
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,640
born, we know why you're in
therapy right now.

59
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:58,220
Cause your parents barely even
cared because they're so exhausted

60
00:02:58,220 --> 00:02:59,420
from the first and the second.

61
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:03,780
But that firstborn baby, you
know, you're not put putting your

62
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:05,740
baby in a manger unless you
have to.

63
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:10,740
So Jesus was placed in a
filthy place, in a place where you

64
00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:11,580
feed animals.

65
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:14,900
Okay, but let's look at this
pattern, see if you can see it with

66
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:15,260
me.

67
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:18,140
Number two is religious leaders.

68
00:03:18,220 --> 00:03:23,590
In his day, they were
perceived as holier than average

69
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:24,070
people.

70
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:28,710
So the one thing you would
never see is a religious leader with

71
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:29,350
sinners.

72
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:34,150
They stayed far away from
this, the mess of the sinner's life,

73
00:03:34,150 --> 00:03:37,590
the drunkenness and these,
these different things and the debauchery.

74
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:41,350
They stayed away from the
compromise, from the outcast.

75
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:45,110
But then look what Jesus does
in Matthew, chapter 9, verse 10.

76
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:48,640
And Jesus reclined at the
table at the house.

77
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,600
And behold, many tax
collectors and sinners were reclining

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,760
with Jesus and his disciples.

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,520
And when the Pharisees saw
this, they said to the disciples,

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,200
you know, why does your
teacher eat with all these sinners?

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,320
So just like the manger, Jesus
goes to the place you're not supposed

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:09,840
to go.

83
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,440
Keep this in mind.

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560
As a matter of fact, he goes
to the very place no one else will

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:14,840
go.

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,080
That's a religious leader.

87
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:17,590
Now let's look.

88
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:18,270
Number three.

89
00:04:18,590 --> 00:04:24,110
When the storm come, many
people during storms, we lock ourselves

90
00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:24,750
inside.

91
00:04:25,310 --> 00:04:28,590
We get out a good book, we put
on a new Netflix show.

92
00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:29,910
You know, we don't go to work.

93
00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:31,070
We just had a blizzard.

94
00:04:31,150 --> 00:04:35,350
And during the blizzard, you
know, Mom, Donnie, our mayor is saying,

95
00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:36,190
don't go outside.

96
00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:40,590
I mean, so this is what is
normal, is we stay inside during

97
00:04:40,590 --> 00:04:41,150
storms.

98
00:04:41,710 --> 00:04:45,620
But Jesus literally does the
opposite in Matthew, chapter 14,

99
00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:48,580
verse 25, during the fourth
watch of the night.

100
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:52,900
So matter of fact, not only is
it a storm, but it's also at night.

101
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:54,740
And we stay inside at night.

102
00:04:54,820 --> 00:04:58,100
So he's every reason to stay
inside, but he goes and walks on

103
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:00,660
the water in the storm.

104
00:05:01,220 --> 00:05:03,300
So, okay, I got one more for you.

105
00:05:04,980 --> 00:05:08,100
This is Mark, chapter 5,
verse, verses 1 and 2.

106
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,710
This one, when I was in
Israel, it hit different because

107
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:18,750
he basically avoids or I'm
sorry, Jews would avoid this area,

108
00:05:18,750 --> 00:05:20,310
but Jesus walks into it.

109
00:05:20,470 --> 00:05:24,350
It's on the other side of the
lake called Galilee because it's

110
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:27,830
basically, they know this
place is full of demons and it's

111
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:28,870
full of Gentiles.

112
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:33,110
So Jews stay over here, and
Gentiles, they live over there.

113
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:35,980
And by the way, those
Gentiles, many of them even have

114
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:36,540
demons.

115
00:05:36,940 --> 00:05:38,540
So we definitely don't go there.

116
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:42,020
But then we see in Mark,
chapter five, it says they came to

117
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:43,340
the other side of the sea.

118
00:05:43,740 --> 00:05:46,460
Which, by the way, if you're
reading the Bible and you.

119
00:05:46,460 --> 00:05:48,900
And you read the part where it
says they came to the other side

120
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,300
of the sea, you just read
right over that.

121
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:53,500
You don't even think nothing
about it.

122
00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:58,180
But it's essentially like them
saying, and they went to the south

123
00:05:58,180 --> 00:06:03,020
side of Chicago, and then they
went to the bad part of the Bronx,

124
00:06:04,220 --> 00:06:07,020
you know, like, then they went
to Wyandance or I don't know where

125
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:07,820
in Long Island.

126
00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:12,780
And listen, if you're from the
Bronx, we love you.

127
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:15,580
Just if you're from Wyandance,
we love you.

128
00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:16,460
We'll start a kid.

129
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:20,940
I'm the south side of Chicago,
but there are these places that get

130
00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:23,660
a reputation for being the
places you shouldn't go.

131
00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:25,340
Am I right?

132
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:31,780
And as a matter of fact, if
you're gonna start a church, Oh,

133
00:06:31,780 --> 00:06:34,380
I love Pastor Mike's
preaching, but I don't wanna go there.

134
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:38,580
Because Christians, even
Christians, there's places we go

135
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:39,260
and we don't go.

136
00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:40,300
Are y' all with me?

137
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:41,500
Right?

138
00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:44,660
Just like when I said we're
gonna do the breakers in Chicago,

139
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:50,340
and everyone's like, chicago,
can't you put it somewhere nice?

140
00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:51,300
I'm like, no, no.

141
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:55,460
We're actually called, like,
Jesus to go to the places that society

142
00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:56,940
says we're not supposed to go.

143
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:59,980
Because that's the very thing
the devil doesn't think we're going

144
00:06:59,980 --> 00:07:00,460
to do.

145
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:04,360
And what I' in life is, if you
want to know what your purpose is,

146
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,720
do the thing the devil doesn't
think you'll do.

147
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
That was worth the whole entry.

148
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,640
That was worth your whole
drive to church.

149
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,800
What's my purpose?

150
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,560
I'll tell you.

151
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,400
Your purpose is the thing the
devil doesn't think you will do.

152
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,600
Because the devil doesn't
think I'll preach because I'm introverted.

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,400
Well, devil, I'm preaching
right now.

154
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,640
This is my purpose.

155
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,600
Whatever the devil doesn't
think you will do, that is your purpose.

156
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:35,460
And so what I find in the life
of Jesus is, kings don't go to mangers,

157
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:37,900
but that's exactly where Jesus
is going.

158
00:07:38,140 --> 00:07:39,100
Kings don't.

159
00:07:39,260 --> 00:07:42,780
They stay away from storms
because their life is so precious.

160
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:45,740
But Jesus takes authority and
walks on the water.

161
00:07:45,820 --> 00:07:49,700
And then Jesus goes to the
Other side, where all the demonized

162
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:52,660
Gentiles are, and he takes his
disciples with him.

163
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:57,500
Aren't you thankful that you
serve a Jesus that goes where Jesus

164
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:02,540
was not supposed to go because
he went into your lowest value value?

165
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,600
He went into the crack house.

166
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
He went into your porn addiction.

167
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,640
He went into your adultery.

168
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Jesus went into the filthiest
places of your life because that's

169
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,240
what makes him the Savior.

170
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,000
So let's take a strange field
trip now that you understand a little

171
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,160
bit more about Jesus.

172
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Because over and over again,
Jesus does the same thing.

173
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,420
He walks into the places
people avoid.

174
00:08:32,060 --> 00:08:34,620
He walks into the places
people fear.

175
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:38,540
And he walks into the places
people say are too broken to fix.

176
00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:41,500
Mike, you're going to New York City.

177
00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:43,900
Are you sure?

178
00:08:44,380 --> 00:08:47,260
By the way, if you're watching
online right now, please don't send

179
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:50,300
me another message about how I
need to get out of New York City.

180
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,740
Please don't send me another message.

181
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:57,100
I know you think you're
helping me, just like Saul thought

182
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:59,740
he was helping David by
putting armor on him.

183
00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:00,610
But I don't know.

184
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,640
To kill this giant.

185
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,840
And this is the assignment of
my life.

186
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,080
As a matter of fact, there's
some of us, like Esther, that are

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,240
going right into.

188
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:10,080
Come on.

189
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440
We're going right into Persia,
and we're gonna.

190
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,240
Oh, come on.

191
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,240
Stop telling me to leave the
very thing God told me to walk into.

192
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,400
I don't care how dangerous it is.

193
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,400
I'm dangerous through Christ.

194
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,120
The devil should be afraid
that I'm in New York City.

195
00:09:27,630 --> 00:09:28,510
You know what I'm saying?

196
00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:31,070
People think that they help you.

197
00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:32,590
It's too expensive.

198
00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:34,030
You know what's more expensive?

199
00:09:34,110 --> 00:09:35,790
Being outside of God's will.

200
00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:37,470
It'll cost you your life.

201
00:09:39,550 --> 00:09:40,070
Come on.

202
00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:43,830
You might be saving money in
Idaho, but you're losing your purpose

203
00:09:43,830 --> 00:09:45,550
by not being in New York City.

204
00:09:46,990 --> 00:09:49,550
And no shade to all my friends
from Idaho.

205
00:09:49,550 --> 00:09:50,030
We love you.

206
00:09:50,030 --> 00:09:51,350
We love your potatoes.

207
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:52,110
They're amazing.

208
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:54,850
I just ain't called to potatoes.

209
00:09:54,850 --> 00:09:55,890
I'm called to war.

210
00:09:56,290 --> 00:09:58,010
So God brought me to New York City.

211
00:09:58,010 --> 00:10:00,130
Don't try to take me out of
the game, Coach.

212
00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:03,730
Feel feisty.

213
00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:09,650
So let's take a strange field
trip now, because this is the.

214
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,290
I was trying to get to this
moment right here.

215
00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:16,250
So Jesus basically takes his
disciples on another one of these

216
00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:22,140
strange field trips, and he
leads them about 25 miles north of

217
00:10:22,140 --> 00:10:23,420
the Sea of Galilee.

218
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:26,700
By the way, I just got back
from this location where I did additional

219
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:29,660
teaching, which is all
available on my YouTube channel.

220
00:10:29,660 --> 00:10:32,820
And if you guys are sleeping
on my YouTube channel, you're missing

221
00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:33,020
it.

222
00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:34,220
It's not about the views.

223
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:37,980
I'm simply saying I've done
every sermon I've preached on Sunday.

224
00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:41,860
I have a whole nother
curriculum I've been releasing, and

225
00:10:41,860 --> 00:10:43,180
it's been so good.

226
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:45,820
So please, feed yourself the
word of God.

227
00:10:46,260 --> 00:10:48,020
But I actually stood in this place.

228
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:50,100
It's called Caesarea Philippi.

229
00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:51,700
And it is.

230
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:54,460
Okay, how many of you want to
just go there with me?

231
00:10:54,460 --> 00:10:57,100
Let's go deep, because it's
about to get really weird.

232
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:58,500
Can I make it really weird?

233
00:10:58,980 --> 00:11:01,700
Can I preach one of the
weirdest, weird sermons I've ever

234
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:02,180
preached?

235
00:11:02,740 --> 00:11:03,300
Okay.

236
00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:06,900
Matthew, chapter 16, verse 13.

237
00:11:07,780 --> 00:11:13,040
Now, when Jesus came into the
district of Caesarea Philippi, he

238
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,640
asked his disciples a question.

239
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,640
Now, before I give the
question, we have to understand this

240
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,960
location because again, if
you're just reading the scriptures,

241
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,720
you miss it.

242
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,320
The fact that a Jew brings his
followers, who are also Jews, into

243
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,880
Caesarea Philippi is wild.

244
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,960
The fact that they agreed to
go is even crazier.

245
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,830
So you understand, Jesus was
constantly offending people by obeying

246
00:11:41,830 --> 00:11:42,790
the will of the Father.

247
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:46,910
Let me just tell you, if you
serve Jesus Christ, he will lead

248
00:11:46,910 --> 00:11:50,630
you into places you don't want
to go and cause you to be misunderstood

249
00:11:50,630 --> 00:11:52,630
by the people who say they
love you most.

250
00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:54,470
Am I right?

251
00:11:54,950 --> 00:11:58,550
If they don't call your church
a cult, it's because it's not operating

252
00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:59,110
in power.

253
00:12:00,790 --> 00:12:05,030
If they don't challenge where
you go, it's because where you go

254
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:06,310
doesn't have any power.

255
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,680
But when you begin to move in
the direction of where Jesus called

256
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:15,520
you to go, it's gonna disrupt
and disturb people who don't see

257
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,160
in the spiritual realm.

258
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Because.

259
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,680
And this is the thing about
the disciples.

260
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,960
They had to have understood on
some level that Jesus was who he

261
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,680
said he was.

262
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,400
And even though it didn't make
logical sense to him, to them, they

263
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,320
did what he said to do because
they trusted in him.

264
00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:35,510
And the thing about V1 Church.

265
00:12:35,510 --> 00:12:38,630
And listen, if you're watching
this online right now or you're watching

266
00:12:38,630 --> 00:12:40,710
on television, you don't
belong to V1 Church.

267
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:42,430
You could just mute this for a
few minutes.

268
00:12:42,430 --> 00:12:43,790
Can I talk to my own church?

269
00:12:45,950 --> 00:12:48,430
I'm not taking you where I
want to go.

270
00:12:49,390 --> 00:12:52,990
I'm trying to take you where
he's telling me we should go.

271
00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:56,750
And there are going to be
times where people don't understand

272
00:12:56,910 --> 00:12:57,310
that.

273
00:12:57,710 --> 00:13:01,820
As a matter of fact, I want to
shout out our 3P team because they

274
00:13:01,820 --> 00:13:05,580
do preaching and prayer and
prophecy every week.

275
00:13:06,780 --> 00:13:09,820
And I told them, I said, I
want to start Preaching in the subway

276
00:13:09,820 --> 00:13:13,020
system of New York City,
because I have a vision of starting

277
00:13:13,020 --> 00:13:14,380
some revivals in the subway.

278
00:13:14,540 --> 00:13:18,020
As much as I love these big
stages, y' all know, I'm still a

279
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:18,780
street fighter.

280
00:13:18,780 --> 00:13:19,500
You know what I mean?

281
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:21,820
Like, I haven't always been ufc.

282
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:23,580
I'm still from the streets.

283
00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:27,020
In other words, I like to take
the gloves off every once in a while.

284
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,160
And I was saying, man, I want
to go preach in the streets with

285
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:31,920
y' all because you.

286
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,720
I like you.

287
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,960
And as I was saying that,
first of all, I took my wife out

288
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,080
on a date, and we were just,
you know, we were on our little date.

289
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,640
Rah.

290
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,280
You know, like, loving each
other, eating some steak.

291
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:44,640
Rah.

292
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:44,840
Rah.

293
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,120
You know, it was getting real nasty.

294
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,480
And I'm saying this for your
benefit as disciples of Jesus Christ,

295
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,720
because if you're married, you
better start making marriage look

296
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,120
good, because your marriage is
a witness to Jesus Christ and his

297
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:58,600
bride.

298
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,120
You get what I'm saying?

299
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,640
And all the single people
said, please, Lord, help me.

300
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,120
So we're on this date, and,
you know, we're just.

301
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Whatever.

302
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,000
And then this guy comes up to
me and he's like, pastor Mike, that's

303
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,280
you?

304
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,560
And I said, yeah.

305
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,680
And he said, I was in Central
park when you did the event, and

306
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,330
under Bethesda Terrace when it
was raining, torrential, and.

307
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,800
And I'm in that video.

308
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,680
I'm the guy that was writhing
around on the ground, manifesting

309
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,280
demons.

310
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,000
And I was like, praise God.

311
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:29,600
How do you feel?

312
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,280
He's like, I got delivered
that night.

313
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,800
I've been free ever since.

314
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640
And not only that, but the
Lord told me, if you get delivered

315
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,680
from demons, you'll also get married.

316
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,200
Cause you'll be ready for a wife.

317
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,080
Cause you'll be free.

318
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,880
And he goes, right after that
event, I met the woman that now became

319
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,120
my wife, and I'm married.

320
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Isn't that amazing?

321
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Fruit that remains.

322
00:14:48,690 --> 00:14:49,970
Come on, somebody.

323
00:14:50,850 --> 00:14:53,130
And so I told him, well, give
me your phone.

324
00:14:53,130 --> 00:14:54,090
And he gave me your phone.

325
00:14:54,090 --> 00:14:55,010
I said, put your wife down.

326
00:14:55,010 --> 00:14:56,410
I'm gonna send her a voice memo.

327
00:14:56,410 --> 00:14:59,530
And I was voice memoing her
wife, and I said, your husband is

328
00:14:59,530 --> 00:15:00,010
so hot.

329
00:15:00,010 --> 00:15:01,650
He's an amazing man of God.

330
00:15:01,810 --> 00:15:03,290
I was trying to be a wingman.

331
00:15:03,290 --> 00:15:04,210
You know what I'm saying?

332
00:15:04,210 --> 00:15:05,410
Come on, men of valor.

333
00:15:05,490 --> 00:15:06,890
Try to help a homie out.

334
00:15:06,890 --> 00:15:09,450
I said, he's working so hard
tonight trying to make that money

335
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:09,850
for y'.

336
00:15:09,850 --> 00:15:10,050
All.

337
00:15:10,770 --> 00:15:11,170
So.

338
00:15:11,490 --> 00:15:16,510
But my point is that ministry
happened not in the church, but in

339
00:15:16,510 --> 00:15:17,270
New York City.

340
00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:21,790
Because I'll tell you this, I
Don't ever want to become a professional

341
00:15:21,790 --> 00:15:22,390
Christian.

342
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:26,430
I'm not a circus lion, you
know what I mean?

343
00:15:26,430 --> 00:15:29,590
That does tricks on a stage
for an audience in a circus.

344
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:33,350
And we gotta start leading the
lost outside of the church too.

345
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:35,030
Am I right?

346
00:15:35,270 --> 00:15:37,830
But here's why I want to shout
out the 3P team.

347
00:15:38,390 --> 00:15:39,990
Because they were like, you
know what?

348
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:43,550
When all these outsiders come
to New York City, the first thing

349
00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:47,490
they always do is go to all of
the tourist places of the subway

350
00:15:47,490 --> 00:15:47,730
system.

351
00:15:47,730 --> 00:15:49,250
And that's where they do the ministry.

352
00:15:49,570 --> 00:15:51,930
And you know what it's like
when the non New Yorkers come and

353
00:15:51,930 --> 00:15:53,810
they say, we're gonna do
something crazy for Jesus.

354
00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:55,130
We're gonna preach in New York City.

355
00:15:55,130 --> 00:15:56,930
And we're all like, get outta here.

356
00:15:58,130 --> 00:15:59,090
You know, we.

357
00:15:59,090 --> 00:16:00,410
You know what I'm saying, right?

358
00:16:00,410 --> 00:16:03,290
You know how like the
outsiders, you know, I can say this,

359
00:16:03,290 --> 00:16:04,370
I'm a New Yorker now.

360
00:16:05,890 --> 00:16:06,610
And so.

361
00:16:07,330 --> 00:16:11,210
But then the 3P team from our
church, they said, what if we went

362
00:16:11,210 --> 00:16:11,890
to the Bronx?

363
00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:13,250
What if we went here?

364
00:16:13,250 --> 00:16:17,010
What if we went to the subway
stops that nobody ever goes to and

365
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:20,350
starts revival in the dark of
the subway system?

366
00:16:20,510 --> 00:16:23,990
And here's why I started
weeping when I read those messages

367
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:25,150
in that group chat.

368
00:16:25,310 --> 00:16:29,070
Because I said, lord, I've
tried so hard to pastor these people

369
00:16:29,070 --> 00:16:30,110
to be like you.

370
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:32,750
Not like me, but to be like
you, Jesus.

371
00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:35,350
And I was preparing this
sermon, and they didn't even know

372
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:36,790
I was preparing this sermon.

373
00:16:36,790 --> 00:16:39,390
And I said, God, what a great
church we have.

374
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:42,510
That when we say we're gonna
go to the streets, they say, send

375
00:16:42,510 --> 00:16:45,070
me to the darkest parts of the
subway system.

376
00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:45,950
Come on.

377
00:16:45,950 --> 00:16:49,750
I'm celebrating that this
church is starting to look like Jesus

378
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:50,030
Christ.

379
00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:53,390
And the real disciples of
Jesus Christ that say I don't have

380
00:16:53,390 --> 00:16:56,390
anything to fear other than
being outside of his will.

381
00:16:57,430 --> 00:17:01,669
So I can't wait till the
footage comes out of us just jumping

382
00:17:01,669 --> 00:17:05,430
some demons in the subway
system, you know what I mean?

383
00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:10,710
And the reason why I say that
is because this accessory of Philippi

384
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:13,840
on a level beyond you could
ever imagine.

385
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:14,840
So let me break this down.

386
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,320
Cause I said it was gonna get weird.

387
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,320
So Caesarea Philippi is one of
the most spiritually dark places

388
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,600
in all of Israel.

389
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,120
And it was the center of pagan worship.

390
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,039
So this is the very epicenter.

391
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:31,200
What made it attractive, and
it was basically dedicated to the

392
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,760
Greek God Pan P A N. Have you
ever heard of Pan?

393
00:17:37,450 --> 00:17:39,530
He was like half goat, half man.

394
00:17:39,930 --> 00:17:44,810
And what made this site,
Caesarea Philippi, so attractive

395
00:17:44,810 --> 00:17:46,930
to pagans was that it was a.

396
00:17:46,930 --> 00:17:49,210
It's a cave, and that this.

397
00:17:49,210 --> 00:17:51,810
Basically, this cave has a stream.

398
00:17:51,810 --> 00:17:55,010
At that time, had a stream of
water that would come out of the

399
00:17:55,010 --> 00:17:55,450
cave.

400
00:17:55,930 --> 00:18:00,370
And so these pagans would
basically go there and they would

401
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:01,530
worship the God Pan.

402
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,480
How many of you have ever
heard the word panic?

403
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,760
The root is Pan, and it
actually comes from the pagan God

404
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,120
Pan.

405
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,800
So panic.

406
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,120
Think about the world right now.

407
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:13,200
What are we witnessing?

408
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Panic.

409
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,080
So I'm going to unveil what I
believe is one of the ruling spirits,

410
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,280
one of the demonic
principalities that's functioning

411
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,760
over the earth right now.

412
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,160
And I believe it's the spirit
of Pan which is producing panic in

413
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:29,680
the earth.

414
00:18:30,210 --> 00:18:32,610
And I believe, and I'm
speaking prophetically right now,

415
00:18:32,770 --> 00:18:35,570
that what's about to happen in
the days, the weeks, and the months

416
00:18:35,570 --> 00:18:39,850
to come, the devil is gonna
try to strike fear in the hearts

417
00:18:39,850 --> 00:18:40,650
of believers.

418
00:18:40,650 --> 00:18:45,810
And that spirit of Pan is
gonna try to produce panic in a generation.

419
00:18:46,130 --> 00:18:49,730
But how many of you know that
Jesus is still walking his disciples

420
00:18:50,050 --> 00:18:54,170
right up to the mouth of that
pagan cave and saying, this is the

421
00:18:54,170 --> 00:18:55,730
place you told me I can't go.

422
00:18:56,170 --> 00:18:58,330
This is the thing you told me
I couldn't say.

423
00:18:58,490 --> 00:19:01,250
This is the thing I'm supposed
to fear and be in panic?

424
00:19:01,250 --> 00:19:02,930
No, no, God has not given me

425
00:19:02,930 --> 00:19:07,890
this spirit of fear, but of
love, power, and a sound mind.

426
00:19:07,890 --> 00:19:10,210
Can somebody shout unto God if you

427
00:19:10,210 --> 00:19:13,210
believe that you've been
equipped so that you don't have to

428
00:19:13,210 --> 00:19:16,330
bend your knee to this pagan
God of Pan?

429
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:19,930
And so let me go a little bit
deeper on what would happen.

430
00:19:19,930 --> 00:19:23,290
So you have the mouth of a
cave with a river coming out of it.

431
00:19:23,570 --> 00:19:26,930
And this is really crazy, but
I need to say it is.

432
00:19:26,930 --> 00:19:29,730
They would get drunk at the
mouth of the cave.

433
00:19:30,130 --> 00:19:36,250
There would be drunkenness,
There would be all kinds of sexual

434
00:19:36,250 --> 00:19:39,250
immorality that would happen
about anything you can imagine.

435
00:19:39,409 --> 00:19:42,610
They would do it at the mouth
of this cave because they believed

436
00:19:42,610 --> 00:19:45,850
that because there was water
flowing out of this cave, that it

437
00:19:45,850 --> 00:19:46,930
was a portal.

438
00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:51,490
And they believed that this
portal was to Hades, the underworld.

439
00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:52,810
So this.

440
00:19:52,970 --> 00:19:57,770
So this cave in Caesarea
Philippi that was dedicated by the

441
00:19:57,770 --> 00:20:02,930
Greeks to the God Pan was a
portal that went to Hades, which

442
00:20:02,930 --> 00:20:04,170
was the underworld.

443
00:20:04,170 --> 00:20:08,290
And as there would be all
kinds of sexual perversion, there

444
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:11,930
would be drunkenness, and
unfortunately, there would even be

445
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:15,970
human sacrifice where women
would deliver babies, and they would

446
00:20:15,970 --> 00:20:20,790
immediately take that newborn
baby and hurl it into the cave as

447
00:20:20,790 --> 00:20:21,750
a sacrifice.

448
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:27,030
Now, that same cave now is
named Planned Parenthood.

449
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:31,750
And none of you gasped the
last time you drove past it.

450
00:20:33,030 --> 00:20:33,750
That same.

451
00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:34,470
Come on.

452
00:20:34,550 --> 00:20:39,190
It's a sacrifice that pagans
make so that they can keep having

453
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:42,870
sex however they want and keep
drinking however much they want.

454
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:47,870
Right now we call it a
sporting event at a local stadium

455
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:49,230
to the God of Pan.

456
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:50,910
Right now we call it.

457
00:20:51,470 --> 00:20:54,350
It's a college campus, It's a dormitory.

458
00:20:54,350 --> 00:20:55,870
What are they doing in dormitories?

459
00:20:56,190 --> 00:20:58,590
Rampant sex, drunkenness.

460
00:20:58,750 --> 00:21:01,150
It's the same spirit behind of it.

461
00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:01,909
And here's the thing.

462
00:21:01,909 --> 00:21:06,030
The reason why I'm exposing it
right now is because as I begin to

463
00:21:06,430 --> 00:21:10,830
map out this series, when I
look at Caesarea Philippi, we have

464
00:21:10,830 --> 00:21:14,790
to march up to the mouth of
that cave, and instead of acting

465
00:21:14,790 --> 00:21:17,710
like the pagans, we need to
start acting like the discip.

466
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:21,690
We're here to expose it, not
to compromise with it.

467
00:21:21,850 --> 00:21:25,450
We're here to call it out, not
to compromise with it.

468
00:21:26,730 --> 00:21:31,530
It's all of us gasped when we
saw the Epstein files, not realizing

469
00:21:31,530 --> 00:21:35,210
that as a culture, we've been
sacrificing babies.

470
00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:39,530
It's just that the elites are
doing it to try to get more power.

471
00:21:39,770 --> 00:21:44,130
But many of us have even been
in circles and situations where we've

472
00:21:44,130 --> 00:21:45,210
justified murder.

473
00:21:45,990 --> 00:21:49,630
The reason why I'm speaking
this so boldly is because these are

474
00:21:49,630 --> 00:21:51,110
demonic in origin.

475
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:52,710
It's evil.

476
00:21:52,790 --> 00:21:56,230
And what will happen is God
will come in mercy.

477
00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:58,070
He'll expose, he'll reveal.

478
00:21:58,150 --> 00:22:01,070
But then how many of you know
that the devil comes as an angel

479
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:01,669
of light?

480
00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:06,470
So why did they throw babies
into the mouth of the cave of Pan?

481
00:22:07,350 --> 00:22:11,360
Why did they have rampant
drunkenness and sexuality and however,

482
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,200
whatever form in front of the cave?

483
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,480
Because they believe that in
doing those things, their life was

484
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,200
going to get better.

485
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,760
Isn't that the lie of addiction?

486
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:22,480
Hey, you're stressed out.

487
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,160
Just have more wine.

488
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,320
As a matter of fact, in our
culture, when you're struggling unsafe

489
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,680
people, the cure for your
struggle is they're going to take

490
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,280
you out to have a good time.

491
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,920
There's people who attend this
church that the story of their family

492
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,030
is their own father buying
them a prostitute to celebrate their

493
00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:42,670
birthday.

494
00:22:43,390 --> 00:22:45,950
But don't we normalize this in
our society?

495
00:22:46,750 --> 00:22:49,870
Because there's these same
ancient demons in new days.

496
00:22:50,510 --> 00:22:52,790
So now there's a question I
was trying to get to.

497
00:22:52,790 --> 00:22:54,830
And this is what Jesus does.

498
00:22:54,910 --> 00:22:57,230
He takes his disciples on this journey.

499
00:22:57,230 --> 00:23:00,310
It's another one of these
crazy Jesus field trips to go to

500
00:23:00,310 --> 00:23:02,150
the places that nobody's
supposed to go.

501
00:23:02,150 --> 00:23:04,990
And they get right up to the
mouth of the cave.

502
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,560
They could hear the water running.

503
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,160
I mean, as a matter of fact,
when they would throw the blood.

504
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,080
When they would throw the baby
into the cave, they would say that

505
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:21,320
if the water went from red to
then clear water, that was indication

506
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,720
of the approval of the God of Pan.

507
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,120
Don't you find it interesting
that when Jesus was crucified, what

508
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:29,080
came out of his side?

509
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,840
Blood and water.

510
00:23:32,010 --> 00:23:36,410
It was almost as if Jesus was
saying, I have the ultimate authority.

511
00:23:37,130 --> 00:23:37,490
See?

512
00:23:37,490 --> 00:23:38,010
And it's.

513
00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:41,450
And somebody else's child
doesn't have to be sacrificed because

514
00:23:41,450 --> 00:23:44,730
God's only son has been sacrificed.

515
00:23:44,730 --> 00:23:46,330
And it's for once and for all.

516
00:23:46,570 --> 00:23:49,770
But do you see how the devil
has a counterfeit for everything

517
00:23:49,850 --> 00:23:50,410
righteous?

518
00:23:50,970 --> 00:23:55,570
See, this is what happens in
the spiritual realm is there's always

519
00:23:55,570 --> 00:23:56,570
a counterfeit.

520
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:58,660
And this is what is so
important to understand.

521
00:23:58,980 --> 00:24:05,580
And so when you look at this,
in Caesarea Philippi, they had these

522
00:24:05,580 --> 00:24:08,580
temples that were carved into
the rock wall.

523
00:24:08,660 --> 00:24:11,420
They had these drunken
festivals, these sexual rites.

524
00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:12,660
All this stuff is happening.

525
00:24:12,820 --> 00:24:15,540
But as this stuff is
happening, the question is asked

526
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:19,940
of the disciples right in
front of it, who do you say I am?

527
00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:23,910
Who do you say I am?

528
00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:26,310
They're sacrificing to Pan.

529
00:24:28,150 --> 00:24:31,350
They're giving their lives,
their children's lives to Pan.

530
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:35,510
They're here thinking that
they're going to appease a deity,

531
00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:38,630
appease a God by doing all of
these things.

532
00:24:38,870 --> 00:24:41,350
Who do you say that I am?

533
00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:47,590
And Peter famously answers
correctly, you are the Christ.

534
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,760
You are the Messiah.

535
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,760
And this is really, really
important because it happens at what

536
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,520
ancient people would have
known as the gates of hell.

537
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,600
So I want you to picture this now.

538
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,760
There's a towering cliff.

539
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,880
This cliff is carved with
pagan temples.

540
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:09,680
There's a dark cave that all
the locals call the gates of hell.

541
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:15,520
It literally smells like the
residue of sin and demonic sacrifice.

542
00:25:16,250 --> 00:25:20,010
And it feels like evil
actually owns that place.

543
00:25:21,130 --> 00:25:24,090
People think that the devil
owns New York City.

544
00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:28,530
Remember, before they
decriminalized weed and it didn't

545
00:25:28,530 --> 00:25:30,810
smell like marijuana in our
streets all the time.

546
00:25:31,930 --> 00:25:32,890
Do you remember that?

547
00:25:34,010 --> 00:25:36,970
See, what happens is, like,
people think that the devil owns

548
00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:37,690
our cities.

549
00:25:38,570 --> 00:25:42,570
What I love about the ministry
of Jesus is In Matthew, chapter 16,

550
00:25:42,570 --> 00:25:46,240
verse 15, it says, he said to
them, but who do you think?

551
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,760
Who do you say that I am?

552
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,800
And Peter says, you are the
Christ, the son of the living God,

553
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,760
in the shadow of those idols
in front of the cave that people

554
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160
think leads them to this underworld.

555
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,680
You know what's amazing?

556
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,960
When we moved into our new
Manhattan venue after the service

557
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,600
was over, I was speaking to
one of the gentlemen at the church,

558
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,440
and he said, you know what the
Craziest thing about being here today

559
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,480
was I said what he said.

560
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,680
About 10 years ago, this was
the club that I went to every single

561
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,640
weekend to destroy my life.

562
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,360
And he said, God brought me
back to the very place where I used

563
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:26,560
to make all of my mistakes, to
redeem me and to save me.

564
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,280
In the exact same venue.

565
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,520
The devil doesn't own that venue.

566
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,840
The devil doesn't own New York City.

567
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,800
The devil didn't own Caesarea Philippi.

568
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,350
But the kingdom of heaven
suffers violence and the violent

569
00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:41,150
have to take it by force.

570
00:26:41,230 --> 00:26:44,750
You gotta stand and resolute,
say, I'm gonna take it back.

571
00:26:44,910 --> 00:26:45,470
By the way.

572
00:26:45,470 --> 00:26:47,070
The devil doesn't own your children.

573
00:26:47,230 --> 00:26:48,990
Why do you keep giving them away?

574
00:26:49,150 --> 00:26:50,910
The devil doesn't own your school.

575
00:26:51,070 --> 00:26:52,910
Why don't you get loud in your school?

576
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:54,389
The devil doesn't own it.

577
00:26:54,389 --> 00:26:55,630
We've gotta take it.

578
00:26:56,830 --> 00:26:58,350
So this is an era of taking.

579
00:26:58,590 --> 00:26:58,950
Why?

580
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:00,190
Cause I'm getting to the good part.

581
00:27:00,190 --> 00:27:01,390
We're almost at the end.

582
00:27:02,510 --> 00:27:04,350
Matthew, chapter 16, verse 18.

583
00:27:04,590 --> 00:27:09,060
And I tell you, see, what
happens is answering Jesus correctly

584
00:27:09,220 --> 00:27:12,580
gets reciprocated with a prophecy.

585
00:27:14,260 --> 00:27:19,140
See, when you learn who Jesus
really is, you'll learn who you really

586
00:27:19,140 --> 00:27:19,460
are.

587
00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:24,740
Your real identity is not in
the LGBTQIA community.

588
00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:28,340
Your real identity is not in Islam.

589
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:33,220
Your real identity is not in
academia and all the degrees and

590
00:27:33,220 --> 00:27:34,460
the intelligentsia.

591
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:37,980
Your identity is not in being
an influencer online.

592
00:27:37,980 --> 00:27:41,580
And if I can only get enough
followers and enough likes and enough

593
00:27:41,580 --> 00:27:42,380
virality.

594
00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:48,060
Your identity, when you find
out who Jesus really is, when you

595
00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:51,900
meet the real Jesus, he will
introduce you to the real you.

596
00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:55,580
But, see, this is where we get
it wrong, because the world says,

597
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:59,770
I want to find myself, but
Jesus says, when you lose your life,

598
00:27:59,770 --> 00:28:01,250
that's when you will find it.

599
00:28:01,570 --> 00:28:04,410
See, this is what I'm trying
to preach to a generation right now.

600
00:28:04,410 --> 00:28:04,730
See?

601
00:28:04,730 --> 00:28:07,050
Oh, I had to go on a journey
to find myself.

602
00:28:07,050 --> 00:28:10,770
No, if you went on that
journey without Jesus, you will never

603
00:28:10,770 --> 00:28:12,050
find the true you.

604
00:28:12,290 --> 00:28:14,730
But that journey is not to
find yourself.

605
00:28:14,730 --> 00:28:16,210
It's to lose yourself.

606
00:28:16,530 --> 00:28:17,490
Lose yourself.

607
00:28:17,490 --> 00:28:18,810
Serving the local church.

608
00:28:18,810 --> 00:28:21,090
I know this isn't popular
amongst the

609
00:28:21,090 --> 00:28:23,980
cancel culture bloggers, and
everybody wants to

610
00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:27,060
say, the church used me, but
God used me.

611
00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:30,420
I was used by the devil, so
God used me.

612
00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:34,340
I'd rather be a slave in the
local church than be a slave to sin.

613
00:28:35,060 --> 00:28:36,420
Use me, God.

614
00:28:36,820 --> 00:28:40,420
Only a soft generation would
be mad that they worked two hours

615
00:28:40,420 --> 00:28:44,580
for the church when they spent
six hours on their phone in the same

616
00:28:44,580 --> 00:28:44,980
day.

617
00:28:45,460 --> 00:28:46,820
God, use me,

618
00:28:48,670 --> 00:28:48,790
y'.

619
00:28:48,790 --> 00:28:48,910
All.

620
00:28:48,910 --> 00:28:50,430
I know this isn't popular.

621
00:28:50,670 --> 00:28:53,950
But if you've ever been
prostituted by the devil, you're

622
00:28:53,950 --> 00:28:56,910
not gonna be mad that somebody
signed you up for a group.

623
00:28:58,910 --> 00:29:02,590
I know this ain't popular
preaching, but David said, I was

624
00:29:02,590 --> 00:29:06,590
glad when they said unto me,
let us go to the house of God.

625
00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:10,550
I'd rather be a front door
greeter at the house of God than

626
00:29:10,550 --> 00:29:12,430
to be the prince in the prison.

627
00:29:12,590 --> 00:29:13,870
Come on, somebody.

628
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:17,100
Anybody hear what I'm talking about?

629
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:19,820
Is this speaking to anybody?

630
00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:22,620
Am I rattling some cages out there?

631
00:29:24,540 --> 00:29:31,780
Because when you meet the real
Jesus, he will introduce you to the

632
00:29:31,780 --> 00:29:32,540
real you.

633
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:37,740
College can't help you find
yourself content.

634
00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:39,420
Can't help you find yourself.

635
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:44,830
But when you meet the real
Jesus, then he will flip the script

636
00:29:44,830 --> 00:29:46,710
and say, now let me tell you
who you are.

637
00:29:48,390 --> 00:29:51,430
See, he says, you are Peter.

638
00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:54,150
What does Peter mean in that
original language?

639
00:29:54,390 --> 00:29:56,470
You are a fragment of the rock.

640
00:29:57,190 --> 00:30:00,390
So Jesus is speaking on
multiple layers right now, and it's

641
00:30:00,390 --> 00:30:02,950
so much more profound than you
can imagine.

642
00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:06,630
So he's saying, peter, this is
what he says in Matthew, chapter

643
00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:07,510
16, verse 18.

644
00:30:08,420 --> 00:30:10,500
I tell you, you are Peter.

645
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:11,860
You're a fragment of the rock.

646
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:21,460
And on this rock, the blood
stained, the wine stained, the filth

647
00:30:21,460 --> 00:30:23,780
stained rock of Caesarea Philippi.

648
00:30:25,380 --> 00:30:26,820
Upon this rock.

649
00:30:28,580 --> 00:30:31,460
And by the way, Peter, you're
a fragment of this rock.

650
00:30:32,820 --> 00:30:34,420
You're just like this place.

651
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:35,800
Sinful.

652
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,760
You're just like this place,
always trying to appease a deity,

653
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,680
always trying to go through
the motions in hopes that your life

654
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,280
gets better.

655
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,680
But upon this rock, I will
build my church.

656
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,080
And the gates, I wonder if he
even pointed to the mouth of the

657
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:53,480
cave.

658
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,040
And the gates of hell will not
prevail against it.

659
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,800
There's so many layers that
are happening right here.

660
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,200
And I need you to get this.

661
00:31:03,060 --> 00:31:07,860
The rock is a revelation that
Jesus is the Messiah, the son of

662
00:31:07,860 --> 00:31:08,660
the living God.

663
00:31:09,140 --> 00:31:11,860
But then what I find
interesting is he says, upon this

664
00:31:11,860 --> 00:31:15,540
rock, I'll build my church,
which means every single time you

665
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:19,060
look at the building, you're
gonna be reminded of the foundation

666
00:31:20,260 --> 00:31:20,820
every time.

667
00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:24,940
If I'm gonna build my church
on the rock of the place of the most

668
00:31:24,940 --> 00:31:29,220
filth, the most heinous,
demonic, satanic, Luciferian, crazy

669
00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:33,770
sin, then every single time I
even behold the church, it will be

670
00:31:33,770 --> 00:31:36,130
a reminder of the rock that it
was built on.

671
00:31:37,650 --> 00:31:41,970
It's almost as if God was
saying, don't ever forget your testimony.

672
00:31:42,690 --> 00:31:45,090
Don't ever forget where you
came from.

673
00:31:45,410 --> 00:31:48,850
There's some prideful
Christians that forgot what they

674
00:31:48,850 --> 00:31:52,050
got delivered from that have a
beam in their eye.

675
00:31:52,210 --> 00:31:54,810
Pointing out a speck in
someone else's eye.

676
00:31:54,810 --> 00:31:55,330
Oh, no.

677
00:31:55,330 --> 00:32:00,590
I know the Caesarea Philippi
that Jesus Christ took his life and

678
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:02,070
built the church upon.

679
00:32:02,070 --> 00:32:03,630
I know where I came from.

680
00:32:03,630 --> 00:32:05,630
I remember when I sinned.

681
00:32:05,630 --> 00:32:07,390
I remember when I walked away.

682
00:32:07,550 --> 00:32:11,990
I remember when I was in a
place I could not save myself, I

683
00:32:11,990 --> 00:32:13,470
could not heal myself.

684
00:32:13,550 --> 00:32:14,590
I could not go.

685
00:32:14,590 --> 00:32:18,590
I don't know about you, but
I've never gotten over being saved.

686
00:32:18,750 --> 00:32:22,630
Some people get over getting
saved, and they get hungry, high

687
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:23,390
and mighty.

688
00:32:23,390 --> 00:32:26,470
And they learn more and
increase in wisdom and knowledge,

689
00:32:26,550 --> 00:32:31,910
but they don't increase in
humility because they forgot Caesarea

690
00:32:32,150 --> 00:32:33,030
Philippi.

691
00:32:35,270 --> 00:32:36,550
Lord, I remember.

692
00:32:38,309 --> 00:32:40,630
I remember what it felt like.

693
00:32:40,790 --> 00:32:43,110
It's when the whole room was spinning

694
00:32:43,270 --> 00:32:44,670
and I put a foot on the

695
00:32:44,670 --> 00:32:47,770
ground and I'm saying, God,
please let me sober up.

696
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,640
I remember what it feels like to

697
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,560
go to an oak, to an empty

698
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,760
home because my wife walked
out, because

699
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,920
I was so trapped in my sin.

700
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,520
I remember Caesarea Philippi.

701
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:09,040
You know, only a narcissistic,
prideful Christianity would have

702
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,080
a whole bunch of preachers
preaching, peter, you're the rock.

703
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,190
But not acknowledging Caesarea
Philippi is where the church is going

704
00:33:17,190 --> 00:33:17,790
to be built.

705
00:33:18,910 --> 00:33:19,950
You know what I'm saying?

706
00:33:21,070 --> 00:33:22,030
So some of us.

707
00:33:22,190 --> 00:33:25,790
I think the body of Christ
needs a mega dose of humility right

708
00:33:25,790 --> 00:33:26,110
now.

709
00:33:26,670 --> 00:33:31,629
Because sometimes we forget
Caesarea Philippi and we gasp when

710
00:33:31,629 --> 00:33:33,070
we read Epstein's files.

711
00:33:33,070 --> 00:33:36,270
But heaven has your files, and thank

712
00:33:36,270 --> 00:33:39,470
God your files were redacted
by the blood of Jesus.

713
00:33:39,790 --> 00:33:41,170
Thank God your files are.

714
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,680
Were washed by the blood.

715
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,080
Your files sent you to hell, too.

716
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,440
But the blood tried a
different story.

717
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,760
And heaven canceled your death
because of the blood.

718
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,800
Thank God.

719
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,600
So what's about to happen in
the days to come is there is going

720
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,720
to be a sifting.

721
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:04,800
Did.

722
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,320
Did Jesus not pray for Peter
and say, peter, I'm praying for you

723
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,000
because the devil asked me,
can I sift him?

724
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,400
This is what's happening in
the earth right now.

725
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,040
There's a sifting that's happening.

726
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,880
You think it's Iran versus Israel?

727
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,120
No.

728
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,280
No.

729
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,760
It's God versus Satan.

730
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,480
Where do you stand in all of this?

731
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,080
Where do you stand?

732
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,720
And there's something about
Peter that.

733
00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:30,840
Caesarea Philippi.

734
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,080
I want to show you one more thing.

735
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Can I show you one more thing?

736
00:34:33,899 --> 00:34:44,539
Okay, so the third layer is
that Peter's confession is also the

737
00:34:44,539 --> 00:34:47,819
rock upon which the church is
gonna be built.

738
00:34:48,459 --> 00:34:52,139
So Jesus was speaking in so
many different layers, and what he's

739
00:34:52,139 --> 00:34:56,059
saying is, hey, your
confession that I'm Messiah is also

740
00:34:56,139 --> 00:34:58,859
the Rock upon which I'll build
my church.

741
00:34:59,210 --> 00:35:00,170
So I want to tell you this.

742
00:35:00,250 --> 00:35:04,090
Therefore there is no
condemnation to those who are in

743
00:35:04,090 --> 00:35:04,890
Christ Jesus.

744
00:35:05,050 --> 00:35:08,730
When you confessed him as
Messiah, that became the rock.

745
00:35:08,810 --> 00:35:11,290
Come on, you're not building
your house on sand.

746
00:35:11,450 --> 00:35:13,130
You're building it on the rock.

747
00:35:13,210 --> 00:35:14,810
That confession was good.

748
00:35:15,050 --> 00:35:16,650
Romans, chapter 10, verse 9.

749
00:35:16,650 --> 00:35:19,530
Once you confess with your
mouth and believed in your heart,

750
00:35:19,610 --> 00:35:20,170
it's not.

751
00:35:20,170 --> 00:35:21,330
You're going to be saved.

752
00:35:21,330 --> 00:35:22,730
You are saved.

753
00:35:22,890 --> 00:35:25,050
And the devil's going to try
to remind you.

754
00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:26,700
The devil's gonna try to put it

755
00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:28,180
in your face what you did.

756
00:35:28,180 --> 00:35:31,220
And you're saying, no, devil,
I didn't forget what I did.

757
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:33,460
God forgot what I did.

758
00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:35,140
I didn't forget what I did.

759
00:35:35,140 --> 00:35:36,660
And that keeps me humble.

760
00:35:36,820 --> 00:35:40,460
God forgot what I did, and
that gets me into heaven because

761
00:35:40,460 --> 00:35:44,740
he said, I'll remember your
sins no more as far as the east is

762
00:35:44,980 --> 00:35:45,780
from the west.

763
00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:48,420
So that confession became a rock.

764
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:50,680
But here's.

765
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:52,830
Here's how I want to wrap this
all up.

766
00:35:54,990 --> 00:35:57,790
He said, not even the gates of
hell will prevail.

767
00:35:58,590 --> 00:35:59,950
But gates don't attack.

768
00:36:01,070 --> 00:36:02,190
Gates don't move.

769
00:36:02,910 --> 00:36:04,430
Gates are not an army.

770
00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:06,030
Gates are a prison.

771
00:36:06,749 --> 00:36:10,710
Gates are there to keep things
in and try to keep powerful things

772
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:11,070
out.

773
00:36:11,550 --> 00:36:15,150
So when Jesus talks about the
gates of hell, he's not describing

774
00:36:15,150 --> 00:36:16,910
hell on the offense.

775
00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:21,220
He's describing the church on
the offense.

776
00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:26,140
He's saying, hell built some
gates, but they are not able to hold

777
00:36:26,140 --> 00:36:28,420
the people that I'm coming for.

778
00:36:28,740 --> 00:36:31,220
The church is not hiding from hell.

779
00:36:31,460 --> 00:36:33,300
The church is storming it.

780
00:36:33,620 --> 00:36:38,420
The kingdom of God is
advancing, and hell cannot stop it.

781
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:42,260
Somebody shout, I'm not hiding
from hell.

782
00:36:44,190 --> 00:36:45,550
Come on, shout it louder.

783
00:36:45,550 --> 00:36:47,390
I'm not hiding from hell.

784
00:36:49,630 --> 00:36:51,790
We are not hiding from hell.

785
00:36:54,110 --> 00:36:56,830
All right, try to take a seat
for a few more moments because I.

786
00:36:58,590 --> 00:37:00,070
I gotta talk to you about gates.

787
00:37:00,070 --> 00:37:00,510
Gates.

788
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:01,550
Everybody say gates.

789
00:37:03,470 --> 00:37:04,190
Don't go there.

790
00:37:04,190 --> 00:37:04,830
Just write it down.

791
00:37:04,830 --> 00:37:08,750
In Ruth, chapter four, verse
one, it says now, Boaz had gone up

792
00:37:08,750 --> 00:37:10,090
to the gates and sat there.

793
00:37:10,330 --> 00:37:10,970
Where is he?

794
00:37:10,970 --> 00:37:12,490
At the gate.

795
00:37:13,610 --> 00:37:17,410
And behold, the Redeemer, of
whom Boaz had spoken came by.

796
00:37:17,410 --> 00:37:19,290
So Boaz said, turn aside, friend.

797
00:37:19,850 --> 00:37:20,810
Sit down here.

798
00:37:20,890 --> 00:37:22,650
And he turned aside and sat down.

799
00:37:22,890 --> 00:37:27,370
The gate is where Boaz
finalizes the redemption.

800
00:37:28,010 --> 00:37:29,810
So it's where the future was decided.

801
00:37:29,810 --> 00:37:33,850
If you go back to the story in
Ruth, people missed us all the time.

802
00:37:34,010 --> 00:37:34,810
It was a gate.

803
00:37:34,810 --> 00:37:36,330
Because gates are portals.

804
00:37:36,570 --> 00:37:37,850
They're places of decision.

805
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:39,850
Even pagans know this.

806
00:37:40,090 --> 00:37:42,730
We are in a spiritual gate
right now.

807
00:37:42,970 --> 00:37:47,090
We are in a spiritual time of
decision right Now, I'm telling you

808
00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:48,890
this as my church because I
love you.

809
00:37:49,050 --> 00:37:53,690
But with what's happening
militarily, with the ufo, UAP disclosure

810
00:37:53,690 --> 00:37:57,170
that's coming, you're standing
literally in a gate where people

811
00:37:57,170 --> 00:38:02,900
are going to have to determine
who do I serve, which God do I serve?

812
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:03,300
It's.

813
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:04,340
We're in a gate.

814
00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:08,140
And the story of Ruth and
Boaz, you see that it's determined

815
00:38:08,140 --> 00:38:08,820
in a gate.

816
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:15,420
Psalm 24, verse 7 says, Lift
up your head, O gates, and be lifted

817
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:19,140
up, O ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in.

818
00:38:19,460 --> 00:38:22,980
Gates can be lifted up for the
King of Glory to enter.

819
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:24,580
And guess what's going to happen?

820
00:38:24,580 --> 00:38:26,660
Resurrection Sunday in Times Square.

821
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,720
We are going to fulfill Psalm
24, verse 7, and we are going to

822
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:35,560
lift up the gates so that the
King of Glory can descend into Times

823
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Square and it's going to be
televised all over the world and

824
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,120
live on online.

825
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,400
How many of you believe that
we're going to lift up the gates

826
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,480
of New York City so that the
King of Glory can come right in?

827
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:48,360
Come on.

828
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,560
And what are the gates?

829
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,320
We lift up our eyes.

830
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,630
We point the world to Jesus.

831
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:56,430
Not to Mike, not to V1 worship.

832
00:38:56,510 --> 00:38:59,470
But we say, lift up your
gates, New York City.

833
00:38:59,950 --> 00:39:01,950
Enter in King of glory.

834
00:39:02,190 --> 00:39:02,750
Come on.

835
00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:05,710
How many of you are excited
for what's getting ready to happen?

836
00:39:05,950 --> 00:39:06,550
We're less.

837
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:07,790
We're about a month away.

838
00:39:10,750 --> 00:39:17,110
Then In Revelation, chapter
21, verse 25, Jesus stands at the

839
00:39:17,110 --> 00:39:23,940
door and he knocks, he
invites, but he does not kick the

840
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:25,420
door down.

841
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:28,180
This is this.

842
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:31,820
This is what I'm saying about
how this message was one of the craziest

843
00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:34,380
messages I've ever written
Because I realized.

844
00:39:34,460 --> 00:39:34,860
Watch.

845
00:39:35,980 --> 00:39:39,980
He's telling the disciples
that not even the gates of hell will

846
00:39:40,060 --> 00:39:41,580
prevail against the kingdom.

847
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:46,590
He's telling them, but he's
asking them, what do you think of

848
00:39:46,590 --> 00:39:46,910
me?

849
00:39:47,710 --> 00:39:53,070
Because there's one gate that
he can't get through without permission,

850
00:39:54,510 --> 00:39:55,630
and it's your heart.

851
00:39:57,710 --> 00:40:01,790
This was one of the biggest
revelations I've ever had where it's

852
00:40:01,790 --> 00:40:06,390
like heaven can invade
anything, but the one thing it can't

853
00:40:06,390 --> 00:40:07,110
is your heart.

854
00:40:07,110 --> 00:40:08,590
If you don't give permission.

855
00:40:09,790 --> 00:40:13,620
This is why you'll be in
revival and your husband next to

856
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:18,260
you will be saying, I can't
stand this church because you opened

857
00:40:18,260 --> 00:40:20,580
the gate and he kept his closed.

858
00:40:21,380 --> 00:40:26,820
This is why Peter will die
upside down, crucified, saying, I'm

859
00:40:26,820 --> 00:40:29,060
not even worthy to be
crucified like Jesus.

860
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:33,620
Meanwhile, Judas will betray
him because one opened up the gate

861
00:40:34,020 --> 00:40:35,780
and the other one Kept it closed.

862
00:40:37,950 --> 00:40:42,430
The reason why I announced the
Global Gospel Crusade this year is

863
00:40:42,430 --> 00:40:43,310
because the Lord told me.

864
00:40:43,310 --> 00:40:47,230
He said, mike, I want you to
go all over the world preaching the

865
00:40:47,230 --> 00:40:50,510
gospel to see who will open
the gates to the Lord.

866
00:40:50,750 --> 00:40:52,750
I just got back from Los Angeles.

867
00:40:53,149 --> 00:40:56,510
I stood in the very place
where Amy Simple McPherson founded

868
00:40:56,510 --> 00:40:57,310
her church.

869
00:40:57,630 --> 00:40:58,990
I was right there in LA.

870
00:40:59,550 --> 00:41:03,750
That woman, I talked about her
from this stage, and yet I was just

871
00:41:03,750 --> 00:41:04,670
there in her building.

872
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:08,190
She's been gone for 100 years
now, but it was like I.

873
00:41:08,270 --> 00:41:13,150
As I prayed for Los Angeles, I
just saw all these people just rushing

874
00:41:13,150 --> 00:41:17,430
the stage, crying, giving up
vapes, surrendering their lives to

875
00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:21,550
God, canceling suicides, and
it's just the gates opened.

876
00:41:22,190 --> 00:41:27,630
My concern for some of you is
that you become so religious that

877
00:41:27,630 --> 00:41:31,110
you have a gate called
religion, and you have your mind

878
00:41:31,110 --> 00:41:33,800
made up, how things should be,
what should be done.

879
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,760
And you're standing.

880
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,040
Think about the Pharisees.

881
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,000
The Pharisees are watching
Jesus go into the place where there's

882
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,760
tax collectors and sinners,
and they're mad at him for being

883
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:44,600
a savior.

884
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,480
They're mad at him for going
into the place.

885
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,800
But the thing was, the sinners
opened their gates, and they were

886
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,800
saying, you want to spend time
with me?

887
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,880
You want to be with me?

888
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,120
You even knowing what I did.

889
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,560
They call you the rabbi.

890
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,000
They call you the master.

891
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,830
You're the one that does the miracles.

892
00:42:03,140 --> 00:42:05,180
You're the ones that cast out
the demons.

893
00:42:05,180 --> 00:42:06,020
You're the ones that.

894
00:42:06,020 --> 00:42:08,980
You're the one that the
multitudes follow, and you want to

895
00:42:08,980 --> 00:42:09,860
be with me.

896
00:42:12,020 --> 00:42:17,100
Jesus said, I didn't come for
those who are well, but I came for

897
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:18,100
those who are sick.

898
00:42:19,060 --> 00:42:21,940
And you're exactly who I want
to be with.

899
00:42:22,660 --> 00:42:24,340
So what does the church look like?

900
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:28,460
All of us finding each other
in a comment section on a YouTube

901
00:42:28,460 --> 00:42:30,070
video, canceling another pastor?

902
00:42:31,740 --> 00:42:33,740
Like the Pharisees standing on
the edge?

903
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:40,700
Or do we find ourselves in the
places where people are so desperate

904
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,940
that they're like, man, I just.

905
00:42:42,940 --> 00:42:44,140
I'll take anything.

906
00:42:44,620 --> 00:42:47,780
I was in Los Angeles just last
week, and I was preaching from that

907
00:42:47,780 --> 00:42:50,700
stage, and I said, you know
who never told me they don't want

908
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:53,980
deliverance are the people who
are on the edge of death.

909
00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:57,220
You know who never told me
they don't want marriage counseling?

910
00:42:57,220 --> 00:42:58,330
The one whose wife just.

911
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,120
Just left him.

912
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,360
Because the desperate, they're
the ones that will open their gates.

913
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,240
The desperate are the ones who will

914
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:06,080
say, I'll take it.

915
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,480
And what I've seen happen over
and over and over again is the smartest

916
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,760
one, the most talented one,
the one

917
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,480
who they get passed up because
they, they close their gate.

918
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,240
And then somebody that's the
least likely says, I'm so desperate,

919
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:22,720
Lord, if you can use anything,
use me.

920
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:26,530
And the Lord touches them and
anoints him and gives us power.

921
00:43:26,610 --> 00:43:30,690
And then you see that person
rise up and it doesn't make any sense,

922
00:43:30,770 --> 00:43:32,130
and people are offended.

923
00:43:32,290 --> 00:43:35,890
But God lifts up certain
people to be an offense to those

924
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,410
who close their gates.

925
00:43:38,450 --> 00:43:40,530
The only explanation I have
for my.

926
00:43:40,610 --> 00:43:42,130
My life is I.

927
00:43:42,130 --> 00:43:46,210
At a certain age, I started
thinking to myself, God, did you

928
00:43:46,210 --> 00:43:49,730
raise me up as a rebuke to
those who think they know better?

929
00:43:52,940 --> 00:43:58,620
Because something happens when
you say God, who do you say?

930
00:43:59,180 --> 00:44:00,620
Who do I say you are?

931
00:44:01,980 --> 00:44:03,260
I've seen too much.

932
00:44:04,860 --> 00:44:05,660
You're the Christ.

933
00:44:06,860 --> 00:44:08,060
You're the Messiah.

934
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:11,340
There's something about
opening our gates.

935
00:44:11,900 --> 00:44:15,060
It's like I can feel people in
the body of Christ closing their

936
00:44:15,060 --> 00:44:15,400
gates.

937
00:44:15,630 --> 00:44:17,630
Well, I used to go to church
all the time.

938
00:44:17,790 --> 00:44:20,070
I'm gonna go less because I
have stuff to do.

939
00:44:20,070 --> 00:44:21,670
My family, this and this.

940
00:44:21,670 --> 00:44:23,150
I used to go to prayer nights.

941
00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:23,550
I don't need.

942
00:44:23,550 --> 00:44:24,510
I'll pray from home.

943
00:44:24,510 --> 00:44:25,670
I used to go in person.

944
00:44:25,670 --> 00:44:26,470
I'll watch online.

945
00:44:26,470 --> 00:44:28,830
And I feel the gates closing.

946
00:44:29,790 --> 00:44:31,629
I feel the gates closing.

947
00:44:32,190 --> 00:44:36,590
I stood in this place seven
days and prayed with a four campus

948
00:44:36,590 --> 00:44:39,230
church, and only 50 people
came each night.

949
00:44:39,310 --> 00:44:39,710
Why?

950
00:44:39,790 --> 00:44:41,750
Because the gates are closing.

951
00:44:41,990 --> 00:44:42,390
Then.

952
00:44:42,390 --> 00:44:44,750
Then all of a sudden, they
would see online, someone posted

953
00:44:44,750 --> 00:44:46,430
in the next day, 100, 150.

954
00:44:46,430 --> 00:44:46,950
It grew.

955
00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:50,270
And I said, lord, how do we
get to the point where we open up

956
00:44:50,270 --> 00:44:50,790
for prayer?

957
00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:54,150
And more people come for
prayer than Sunday service because

958
00:44:54,150 --> 00:44:57,109
the gates are open and they're
bringing their friends saying, come,

959
00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:58,470
be healed, Be healed.

960
00:44:58,470 --> 00:45:02,430
If I could take my baby to
throw it in a cave with water, I

961
00:45:02,430 --> 00:45:06,110
can take somebody else's baby
to the church and say, there's living

962
00:45:06,110 --> 00:45:06,470
water.

963
00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:08,470
You can be healed in this place.

964
00:45:08,550 --> 00:45:12,110
If you can take your friend to
a baseball game, then you can take

965
00:45:12,110 --> 00:45:13,190
your friend to church.

966
00:45:13,350 --> 00:45:16,790
If you can take your friend to
the bar to have a good time, you

967
00:45:16,790 --> 00:45:19,430
can take him to the church to
experience Jesus.

968
00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:22,390
Open up the gates, church.

969
00:45:23,350 --> 00:45:26,070
How many of you want to open
the gates with me?

970
00:45:27,990 --> 00:45:31,390
I don't want to be the
Christian that gets to heaven and

971
00:45:31,390 --> 00:45:34,290
realizes that I miss an opportunity.

972
00:45:35,250 --> 00:45:36,890
Because in culture, we've normalized.

973
00:45:36,890 --> 00:45:39,890
You want to go to the Yankees
game, you won't go to the bar.

974
00:45:41,170 --> 00:45:41,970
Let's normalize.

975
00:45:41,970 --> 00:45:45,650
You want to go to church, you
want to go into God's presence.

976
00:45:46,210 --> 00:45:47,490
You want to be healed.

977
00:45:48,050 --> 00:45:51,010
Nobody will think twice if you
say, do you need to go to the doctor?

978
00:45:52,050 --> 00:45:53,330
Hey, do you need prayer?

979
00:45:54,610 --> 00:45:55,490
Let's open up.

980
00:45:55,490 --> 00:45:57,730
Somebody say with me, open up
the gates.

981
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:03,180
Jesus is literally telling his
disciples, not even the gates of

982
00:46:03,180 --> 00:46:05,740
hell will prevail against this kingdom.

983
00:46:06,620 --> 00:46:11,100
But the condition is, will you
open up your heart?

984
00:46:13,180 --> 00:46:13,620
Come on.

985
00:46:13,620 --> 00:46:14,460
We're closing here.

986
00:46:16,380 --> 00:46:20,380
Over time, your heart becomes
its own Caesarea Philippi.

987
00:46:21,100 --> 00:46:22,940
On the outside, it's worship.

988
00:46:23,340 --> 00:46:27,300
Christian speaking in tongues,
your prayer language, maybe even

989
00:46:27,300 --> 00:46:27,980
ministry.

990
00:46:28,860 --> 00:46:34,780
But on the inside, carved into
the rock, it's little temples of

991
00:46:34,780 --> 00:46:40,660
fear, little temples of lust,
little temples of control, little

992
00:46:40,660 --> 00:46:42,140
temples of unforgiveness.

993
00:46:43,020 --> 00:46:47,540
Places where you've said, this
is too dark, this is too messy, this

994
00:46:47,540 --> 00:46:49,420
is too painful, even for God.

995
00:46:50,390 --> 00:46:52,230
Open up the gates.

996
00:46:54,630 --> 00:46:57,750
If Jesus will walk his
disciples into the gates of hell,

997
00:46:58,710 --> 00:47:01,590
he's gonna walk with you to
the gates of your own trauma.

998
00:47:02,870 --> 00:47:04,550
There's no cave too dark.

999
00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:07,030
There's no trauma too deep.

1000
00:47:07,590 --> 00:47:09,510
There's no memory too painful.

1001
00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:13,630
There's no place in your life
where Jesus looks and says, well,

1002
00:47:13,630 --> 00:47:14,870
this is too messy for me.

1003
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,760
He took them to the literal
gates of hell so he could speak into

1004
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,960
the metaphorical gates of hell
in their own heart.

1005
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,640
This is why so many pastors
fall, because they know how to go

1006
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,000
to church, but they don't know
how to go to the gate.

1007
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,000
They know how to go to the
temple, but they don't know how to

1008
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:35,800
sit with sinners.

1009
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:36,720
They don't know how to.

1010
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,320
There's something about this
message, y'.

1011
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:39,520
All.

1012
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,270
We gotta stop being fake.

1013
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:44,590
We got to stop acting like
Caesarea Philippi doesn't exist.

1014
00:47:44,830 --> 00:47:46,070
That's what the Jews did.

1015
00:47:46,070 --> 00:47:46,910
Let's avoid it.

1016
00:47:46,910 --> 00:47:48,070
Let's not talk about it.

1017
00:47:48,070 --> 00:47:49,550
What happens there is weird.

1018
00:47:49,550 --> 00:47:50,790
What happened in my past.

1019
00:47:50,790 --> 00:47:51,990
Let's not talk about it.

1020
00:47:51,990 --> 00:47:52,470
No, no.

1021
00:47:52,470 --> 00:47:54,350
We are going to walk right up
to it.

1022
00:47:54,350 --> 00:47:54,990
We're going to.

1023
00:47:54,990 --> 00:47:58,910
And we're going to say, jesus,
enter into this private thing.

1024
00:47:59,230 --> 00:48:01,870
Enter into this hidden thing, God.

1025
00:48:02,110 --> 00:48:03,790
Bring your kingdom here.

1026
00:48:04,190 --> 00:48:09,630
And In Colossians, chapter 2,
verse 15, it says, he disarmed the

1027
00:48:09,630 --> 00:48:14,630
rulers and authorities and put
them to open shame by triumphing

1028
00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:16,190
over them in him.

1029
00:48:16,270 --> 00:48:17,910
And I'll tell you what, Julie.

1030
00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:21,830
When we were on television and
when the videos go viral of us telling

1031
00:48:21,830 --> 00:48:26,070
the story of our infidelity
and my alcoholism, you know what's

1032
00:48:26,070 --> 00:48:26,990
actually happening?

1033
00:48:27,230 --> 00:48:27,710
God.

1034
00:48:27,710 --> 00:48:31,870
Because we were willing to go
to Caesarea Philippi, he said what

1035
00:48:31,870 --> 00:48:35,190
was supposed to to be private
shame will become

1036
00:48:35,350 --> 00:48:39,910
a public triumph, and I will
disarm every demon.

1037
00:48:40,070 --> 00:48:43,670
And you can't be blackmailed
if you tell on yourself.

1038
00:48:43,830 --> 00:48:46,950
But don't just tell them about
Cesaria Philippi.

1039
00:48:47,110 --> 00:48:48,630
That's only the foundation.

1040
00:48:49,190 --> 00:48:52,070
Look what he built on top of it.

1041
00:48:52,150 --> 00:48:54,870
He built a church called B1 Church.

1042
00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:57,350
On top of it, he built up.

1043
00:48:58,970 --> 00:49:05,450
Somebody shout, tell the whole
story, Devil.

1044
00:49:06,010 --> 00:49:08,650
Yeah, I see Caesarea Philippi.

1045
00:49:08,810 --> 00:49:11,530
But tell me what he built on
top of it.

1046
00:49:13,210 --> 00:49:13,890
Yeah, come on.

1047
00:49:13,890 --> 00:49:15,130
You can stay on your feet.

1048
00:49:15,210 --> 00:49:15,690
Come on.

1049
00:49:15,690 --> 00:49:16,890
You can stay on your feet now.

1050
00:49:16,890 --> 00:49:18,330
Because that's how I stopped preaching.

1051
00:49:20,890 --> 00:49:22,650
The resurrection proved it.

1052
00:49:22,810 --> 00:49:24,610
Colossians, chapter 2, verse 15.

1053
00:49:24,610 --> 00:49:25,530
He disarmed.

1054
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,720
And I love what he says.

1055
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,440
And Jesus put them to open shame.

1056
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,280
So every demon that thought
that they were going to destroy my

1057
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,200
marriage, destroy our
ministry, destroy our life, I don't

1058
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:39,440
take any credit in it.

1059
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,920
But Jesus Christ put those
demons to open shame.

1060
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,000
And if he did it for me,
honey, he can do it for you.

1061
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,560
If he did it for my family,
he's going to do it for your family.

1062
00:49:52,290 --> 00:49:52,730
Come on.

1063
00:49:52,730 --> 00:49:54,690
Somebody you want to tell on me?

1064
00:49:54,850 --> 00:49:56,130
Tell that old story.

1065
00:49:56,450 --> 00:49:58,930
I see more than Caesarea Philippi.

1066
00:49:59,010 --> 00:50:01,730
I see he built a church on top
of it.

1067
00:50:03,330 --> 00:50:04,370
Hallelujah.

1068
00:50:05,090 --> 00:50:06,050
Hallelujah.

1069
00:50:06,530 --> 00:50:09,330
My daughter Bella just went
viral today

1070
00:50:09,970 --> 00:50:11,810
for telling her testimony online.

1071
00:50:14,610 --> 00:50:17,170
And the devil said, well,
aren't you the pastor's daughter?

1072
00:50:17,660 --> 00:50:18,460
Didn't you vape?

1073
00:50:18,620 --> 00:50:20,700
Didn't you get all entrapped
in that world?

1074
00:50:20,780 --> 00:50:21,820
Oh, yeah, I did.

1075
00:50:21,980 --> 00:50:23,740
But devil, tell the whole story.

1076
00:50:24,060 --> 00:50:25,420
It didn't stop at that.

1077
00:50:25,420 --> 00:50:26,860
But he's still healing.

1078
00:50:26,860 --> 00:50:28,300
He's still delivering.

1079
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:29,620
He's still redeeming.

1080
00:50:29,620 --> 00:50:31,420
A righteous person may fall.

1081
00:50:31,740 --> 00:50:32,380
Come on.

1082
00:50:32,620 --> 00:50:33,660
How many times?

1083
00:50:34,780 --> 00:50:35,740
How many times?

1084
00:50:36,780 --> 00:50:40,860
But then they get back up
every single time.

1085
00:50:41,420 --> 00:50:43,340
Peter, get back up.

1086
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:44,560
Peter.

1087
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,800
You haven't preached your best sermon.

1088
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,040
You haven't sang your best song.

1089
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,280
You haven't wrote your book yet.

1090
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,680
Peter, get back up.

1091
00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:58,160
Not even the gates of hell
will prevail.

1092
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:02,960
Matter of fact, they would
throw their

1093
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,160
babies into the cave.

1094
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,240
You know what God did?

1095
00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:07,440
He caused the kingdom to come
out of the cave.

1096
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,690
In other words, the darkest
thing in your life is what God is

1097
00:51:10,690 --> 00:51:11,610
going to monetize.

1098
00:51:12,730 --> 00:51:15,210
The thing that you don't think
you could ever talk about is going

1099
00:51:15,210 --> 00:51:18,090
to be a thing that thrust you
into the forefront.

1100
00:51:18,250 --> 00:51:18,770
Come on.

1101
00:51:18,770 --> 00:51:21,410
He'll take the thing that the
devil thought he was going to kill

1102
00:51:21,410 --> 00:51:24,250
you with and give it to you as
your weapon.

1103
00:51:25,930 --> 00:51:29,690
He'll take a broken marriage
and turn it into a marriage ministry.

1104
00:51:30,330 --> 00:51:34,090
He'll take an addiction and
turn it into a deliverance ministry.

1105
00:51:34,490 --> 00:51:35,050
Come on.

1106
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,120
This is what my God does.

1107
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,600
This is what my God does.

1108
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:44,200
Y' all could keep worshiping
pan, you keep giving the pan and

1109
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,920
you keep sacrificing a pan.

1110
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:48,320
But my God is not an idol.

1111
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:49,240
That doesn't.

1112
00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:50,320
Ah, come on.

1113
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,160
I don't serve an idol.

1114
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,560
I serve the true and living God.

1115
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,680
He'll take your best and make
it your message.

1116
00:52:01,050 --> 00:52:03,530
He'll take that test and make
it a testimony.

1117
00:52:04,810 --> 00:52:06,170
Only Jesus.

1118
00:52:07,450 --> 00:52:11,250
So he stands at the door in
book of Revelation, and I find it

1119
00:52:11,250 --> 00:52:12,010
so interesting.

1120
00:52:12,250 --> 00:52:13,130
He knocks.

1121
00:52:14,170 --> 00:52:15,930
How could that be the same Jesus?

1122
00:52:17,130 --> 00:52:20,330
We have to give him permission.

1123
00:52:21,450 --> 00:52:22,810
So here's what I'm asking.

1124
00:52:25,530 --> 00:52:28,510
Will you give him permission?

1125
00:52:29,870 --> 00:52:31,710
See, this is what it all came
down to.

1126
00:52:32,270 --> 00:52:38,030
When I was in my lowest of
low, I didn't save myself.

1127
00:52:38,910 --> 00:52:40,510
I surrendered myself.

1128
00:52:41,630 --> 00:52:45,310
See, in the world, Tony
Robbins yells in your face.

1129
00:52:45,390 --> 00:52:47,070
Come on, save yourself.

1130
00:52:47,230 --> 00:52:50,990
Learn more tactics, learn more
strategies, buy more courses.

1131
00:52:51,230 --> 00:52:52,590
You know the gurus.

1132
00:52:53,540 --> 00:52:54,340
Save yourself.

1133
00:52:55,460 --> 00:52:57,060
Come on, try harder.

1134
00:52:58,100 --> 00:52:59,780
You know what's wrong with
that message?

1135
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:01,620
It doesn't work.

1136
00:53:03,220 --> 00:53:05,060
They get you on an emotional high.

1137
00:53:05,300 --> 00:53:06,980
They get you on adrenaline.

1138
00:53:07,060 --> 00:53:09,460
And then what happens when the
motivation wears away?

1139
00:53:09,460 --> 00:53:10,580
You go right back.

1140
00:53:11,220 --> 00:53:11,940
Am I right?

1141
00:53:12,660 --> 00:53:13,380
Am I right?

1142
00:53:13,940 --> 00:53:16,780
You go to the other religions
and they tell you, don't do it.

1143
00:53:16,780 --> 00:53:17,220
That's bad.

1144
00:53:17,220 --> 00:53:19,270
That I knew it was bad when I
did it.

1145
00:53:19,270 --> 00:53:22,430
Matter of fact, I did it
because it was bad and it felt good.

1146
00:53:23,390 --> 00:53:24,110
Am I right?

1147
00:53:24,670 --> 00:53:25,150
Come on.

1148
00:53:25,150 --> 00:53:29,630
Sinners say yes, you know, but
you go to the church, don't do this.

1149
00:53:29,630 --> 00:53:29,910
This.

1150
00:53:29,910 --> 00:53:31,470
I know what I'm not supposed
to do.

1151
00:53:31,470 --> 00:53:32,590
That's why I did it.

1152
00:53:33,710 --> 00:53:34,110
So.

1153
00:53:34,189 --> 00:53:35,630
So religion doesn't work.

1154
00:53:37,470 --> 00:53:41,590
Because even if I obey all
these rules, I'm still doing it in

1155
00:53:41,590 --> 00:53:42,030
my heart.

1156
00:54:39,747 --> 00:54:41,027
Then Jesus shows up.

1157
00:54:42,227 --> 00:54:44,547
And Jesus says, don't save yourself.

1158
00:54:45,107 --> 00:54:46,307
Surrender yourself.

1159
00:54:47,427 --> 00:54:53,107
And when you surrender, you
open up the gates, man.

1160
00:54:53,107 --> 00:54:53,747
Julie.

1161
00:54:54,067 --> 00:54:55,027
My caesarea.

1162
00:54:55,027 --> 00:54:57,827
Philippi was right there in Valparaiso.

1163
00:54:58,547 --> 00:55:00,867
That was my darkest moment.

1164
00:55:01,507 --> 00:55:03,187
And right there, I'll never forget.

1165
00:55:03,187 --> 00:55:04,547
I was at my wits end.

1166
00:55:04,547 --> 00:55:08,677
I thought, I'm gonna kill
myself tonight, or I'm gonna surrender

1167
00:55:08,677 --> 00:55:09,677
myself tonight.

1168
00:55:10,397 --> 00:55:12,797
That's why I've gone all over
the world canceling suicides.

1169
00:55:12,797 --> 00:55:15,197
Cause I had to cancel my own a
couple of times.

1170
00:55:15,437 --> 00:55:16,957
Anybody know what I'm talking about?

1171
00:55:19,437 --> 00:55:20,757
But I remember I got down.

1172
00:55:20,757 --> 00:55:22,917
We had a room in the back of
our house.

1173
00:55:22,917 --> 00:55:24,477
And it was pitch black, dark.

1174
00:55:24,877 --> 00:55:27,197
And I was absolutely at my
wit's end.

1175
00:55:27,757 --> 00:55:31,117
And I remember I got down on
the carpet and I said, lord, I. I

1176
00:55:31,357 --> 00:55:32,517
can't save myself.

1177
00:55:32,517 --> 00:55:33,517
I surrender.

1178
00:55:33,997 --> 00:55:38,637
And the kingdom of heaven
Rushed in to that room, and I began

1179
00:55:38,637 --> 00:55:39,317
that next journey.

1180
00:55:39,317 --> 00:55:43,517
It didn't mean everything was
perfect, but it does mean that I

1181
00:55:43,517 --> 00:55:45,437
started a journey just like
with Peter.

1182
00:55:45,757 --> 00:55:47,277
Peter said, you are the Christ.

1183
00:55:48,157 --> 00:55:50,717
The kingdom of heaven starts
to fill the atmosphere.

1184
00:55:50,717 --> 00:55:54,637
Peter was gonna go through
some stuff, but God knows the end

1185
00:55:54,637 --> 00:55:55,437
of a thing.

1186
00:55:56,157 --> 00:55:57,037
God knows the end.

1187
00:55:57,187 --> 00:55:57,467
The end.

1188
00:55:57,467 --> 00:56:00,947
Some of you don't even
understand why he keeps being so

1189
00:56:00,947 --> 00:56:02,067
merciful with you.

1190
00:56:02,307 --> 00:56:06,787
It's because he sees the end
of your life, and he knows that you

1191
00:56:06,787 --> 00:56:07,827
end with Him.

1192
00:56:08,067 --> 00:56:10,387
He knows that you end sanctified.

1193
00:56:10,707 --> 00:56:12,627
He knows that you end purified.

1194
00:56:12,946 --> 00:56:13,907
Some of you don't understand.

1195
00:56:13,987 --> 00:56:15,587
Why did he keep saving me?

1196
00:56:15,587 --> 00:56:17,507
Why did he keep picking me up?

1197
00:56:17,507 --> 00:56:21,347
Because God knows the end of a
thing from a beginning, and he saw

1198
00:56:21,347 --> 00:56:23,167
the end of your life and knows

1199
00:56:23,877 --> 00:56:25,077
that you win with Him.

1200
00:56:25,877 --> 00:56:28,917
So across every location right
now and everybody watching online

1201
00:56:28,997 --> 00:56:31,317
right now, we're gonna do a holy.

1202
00:56:31,957 --> 00:56:39,077
A holy response to this
message, because Caesarea Philippi

1203
00:56:40,037 --> 00:56:42,757
is what the Lord wants you to
confront right now.

1204
00:56:44,597 --> 00:56:47,957
The filth, the dirt, the ugly places.

1205
00:56:49,007 --> 00:56:50,367
And right there, from your seat.

1206
00:56:51,247 --> 00:56:53,807
The way that we're gonna do
this is very simple.

1207
00:56:54,287 --> 00:56:58,687
If you're like, lord, I've
been holding you out of certain spaces,

1208
00:56:58,687 --> 00:56:59,407
and I've been.

1209
00:57:00,687 --> 00:57:02,327
There's just something in my
own heart.

1210
00:57:02,327 --> 00:57:03,967
I need to open up the gates.

1211
00:57:04,367 --> 00:57:07,167
What I want you to do is just
lift your hands towards heaven.

1212
00:57:07,647 --> 00:57:08,447
If you feel that.

1213
00:57:08,447 --> 00:57:08,807
Come on.

1214
00:57:08,807 --> 00:57:09,727
There's many of us.

1215
00:57:10,127 --> 00:57:10,647
Come on.

1216
00:57:10,647 --> 00:57:14,607
Even at home right now, as
you're watching, and the Lord sees,

1217
00:57:15,557 --> 00:57:18,277
when you lifted your hand,
many of you thought, this isn't a

1218
00:57:18,277 --> 00:57:18,757
big deal.

1219
00:57:19,397 --> 00:57:19,957
I just.

1220
00:57:19,957 --> 00:57:20,597
No, no, no.

1221
00:57:20,597 --> 00:57:23,317
It is a big deal, because when
you lifted your hands, you lifted

1222
00:57:23,317 --> 00:57:26,837
the gates, and the kingdom of
heaven is about to enter.

1223
00:57:27,317 --> 00:57:30,557
What I'm going to start to
prophesy over you from this stage

1224
00:57:30,557 --> 00:57:33,317
right now, because I feel the
spirit of prophecy.

1225
00:57:33,397 --> 00:57:36,197
I hear the Lord saying, that
thing that you thought you would

1226
00:57:36,197 --> 00:57:39,237
never tell anybody, that is
your arsenal.

1227
00:57:39,477 --> 00:57:43,637
Once I turn it around, that
thing that you hope nobody finds

1228
00:57:43,637 --> 00:57:45,917
out, that is your testimony.

1229
00:57:45,997 --> 00:57:47,917
And that is the weapon that I

1230
00:57:47,917 --> 00:57:52,237
am going to use to destroy
your enemies in the spirit and to

1231
00:57:52,237 --> 00:57:54,557
promote you to higher levels
of authority.

1232
00:57:54,717 --> 00:57:58,557
And as you lifted your hands
in surrender, I heard the Lord say,

1233
00:57:58,557 --> 00:58:01,597
I am now going to begin to
remove the shame.

1234
00:58:02,157 --> 00:58:03,517
Remove the shame.

1235
00:58:03,997 --> 00:58:06,157
Remove the shame from that season.

1236
00:58:06,557 --> 00:58:06,967
Remove.

1237
00:58:07,037 --> 00:58:08,717
Remove the shame from that act.

1238
00:58:08,877 --> 00:58:12,477
Some of you are perpetually
going back to something, but I heard

1239
00:58:12,477 --> 00:58:16,317
the Lord say, the cycle ends
with surrender.

1240
00:58:16,557 --> 00:58:18,717
The cycle ends with surrender.

1241
00:58:18,797 --> 00:58:20,877
You never fully Surrendered.

1242
00:58:20,957 --> 00:58:26,157
So you kept in the cycle, but
full surrender will break the cycle

1243
00:58:26,157 --> 00:58:26,797
fully.

1244
00:58:26,877 --> 00:58:31,677
I hear the Lord saying that
full surrender will end the cycle

1245
00:58:31,837 --> 00:58:32,357
fully.

1246
00:58:32,357 --> 00:58:33,917
And you surrender now.

1247
00:58:33,917 --> 00:58:34,317
Now.

1248
00:58:34,967 --> 00:58:40,967
So all over this place, even
limiting beliefs that you have limitations

1249
00:58:40,967 --> 00:58:42,407
that you placed on yourself.

1250
00:58:43,687 --> 00:58:45,607
Peter went to go back to fishing.

1251
00:58:45,607 --> 00:58:48,927
We talked about this last
week, and he said, you know what?

1252
00:58:48,927 --> 00:58:50,487
I can't be anymore.

1253
00:58:50,967 --> 00:58:53,447
Oh, I feel the anointing about
what I'm about to say.

1254
00:58:59,127 --> 00:59:02,277
I gotta intercede before I say
this, because some of you aren't

1255
00:59:02,277 --> 00:59:04,197
even going to get it unless
you're in the pro.

1256
00:59:04,197 --> 00:59:04,957
You got to pray.

1257
00:59:04,957 --> 00:59:05,757
You got to pray.

1258
00:59:05,757 --> 00:59:06,677
The Lord's about to.

1259
00:59:06,677 --> 00:59:09,677
I feel like there's many of
you that need to hear what I'm about

1260
00:59:09,677 --> 00:59:10,117
to say.

1261
00:59:25,237 --> 00:59:26,677
This is what I hear the Lord say.

1262
00:59:26,677 --> 00:59:27,477
For many of you.

1263
00:59:28,197 --> 00:59:32,917
You have told God I can't be
any more than what I am.

1264
00:59:33,397 --> 00:59:37,437
I can't do any more than I'm
doing, and I can't be any more than

1265
00:59:37,437 --> 00:59:37,877
I am.

1266
00:59:37,877 --> 00:59:41,757
And that actually, for many of
you, is more demonic than when you

1267
00:59:41,757 --> 00:59:42,517
were getting drunk.

1268
00:59:43,717 --> 00:59:46,437
That is more demonic than when
you were sleeping around.

1269
00:59:47,477 --> 00:59:49,757
That is the biggest demonic
lie that

1270
00:59:49,757 --> 00:59:51,277
has been in your life is God,

1271
00:59:51,277 --> 00:59:52,837
I can't do any more than I'm

1272
00:59:52,837 --> 00:59:55,317
doing, and I can't be any more
than I am.

1273
00:59:55,957 --> 01:00:00,437
That was the greatest attack
on Peter's life, was, I'm just gonna

1274
01:00:00,437 --> 01:00:03,877
go back to fishing because all
I am is a fisherman.

1275
01:00:04,437 --> 01:00:09,757
And we would never have had
the apostle Peter if we did not break

1276
01:00:09,757 --> 01:00:11,237
that lie off of his life.

1277
01:00:12,277 --> 01:00:12,717
Come on.

1278
01:00:12,717 --> 01:00:16,757
Who is it on stage with me
that has this lie on their life?

1279
01:00:17,157 --> 01:00:18,997
Who is it at the campus that
has this?

1280
01:00:19,307 --> 01:00:21,147
God, I've done all I can do,

1281
01:00:21,147 --> 01:00:22,747
and I'm all I'm going to be.

1282
01:00:22,747 --> 01:00:23,507
This is the limit.

1283
01:00:23,507 --> 01:00:26,707
This is the end that is about
to break off of many of you right

1284
01:00:26,707 --> 01:00:26,987
now.

1285
01:00:27,067 --> 01:00:30,187
If that's you, just lift your
hands about to pray right now.

1286
01:00:30,187 --> 01:00:33,467
Because I feel something
breaking in this spiritual realm.

1287
01:00:33,467 --> 01:00:36,907
I speak to every demon of mediocrity,

1288
01:00:37,067 --> 01:00:42,427
every demon of conformity,
every demon to compromise every lying,

1289
01:00:42,427 --> 01:00:44,347
deceiving spirit that said

1290
01:00:44,347 --> 01:00:47,517
that you'll never be more,
that you'll never do more.

1291
01:00:47,517 --> 01:00:49,557
And I break and release every single

1292
01:00:49,557 --> 01:00:54,317
one of you under the sound of
my voice from the lies and the strongholds

1293
01:00:54,317 --> 01:00:55,197
of Satan.

1294
01:00:55,277 --> 01:01:00,077
And I say, you are the rock
upon which God will build the church

1295
01:01:00,157 --> 01:01:01,997
and not even the gates of hell.

1296
01:01:01,997 --> 01:01:03,997
I release true destiny.

1297
01:01:03,997 --> 01:01:05,837
I release true identity.

1298
01:01:05,917 --> 01:01:10,997
I release visions and dreams
that God would open your eyes so

1299
01:01:10,997 --> 01:01:14,397
that you would be and do all
that he called you to do.

1300
01:01:14,477 --> 01:01:17,837
If you come into agreement
with that, just begin to pray right

1301
01:01:17,837 --> 01:01:18,157
now.

1302
01:01:18,157 --> 01:01:20,297
Just tell him, lord, I receive it.

1303
01:01:20,457 --> 01:01:23,897
Even if you don't understand,
Even if you don't want to agree with

1304
01:01:23,897 --> 01:01:24,217
it.

1305
01:01:24,297 --> 01:01:25,137
Even if it does.

1306
01:01:25,137 --> 01:01:26,217
Come on, say it.

1307
01:01:26,297 --> 01:01:26,817
Come on.

1308
01:01:26,817 --> 01:01:27,897
Let's just begin to sing.

1309
01:01:28,137 --> 01:01:29,817
Let's take a moment in worship.

1310
01:01:29,897 --> 01:01:33,417
Because whom the sun sets free
is free indeed.

1311
01:01:33,497 --> 01:01:35,737
Something's happening right
now in the spirit.

1312
01:01:38,697 --> 01:01:39,817
Come on, tell them.

1313
01:01:48,747 --> 01:01:49,107
Come on.

1314
01:01:49,107 --> 01:01:49,467
Everything.

1315
01:01:49,707 --> 01:01:55,787
God, A new story.

1316
01:02:03,307 --> 01:02:03,747
Come on.

1317
01:02:03,747 --> 01:02:05,027
For the honor of your name.

1318
01:02:05,027 --> 01:02:05,707
Jesus.

1319
01:02:07,147 --> 01:02:07,587
Come on.

1320
01:02:07,587 --> 01:02:08,827
Let's fully surrender.

1321
01:02:08,827 --> 01:02:09,387
Church.

1322
01:02:09,867 --> 01:02:10,987
Fully surrender.

1323
01:02:11,707 --> 01:02:12,827
Fully surrender.

1324
01:02:13,787 --> 01:02:14,777
For the honor.

1325
01:02:14,927 --> 01:02:17,247
Honor of your name.

1326
01:02:18,527 --> 01:02:27,567
And if my days tell a story,
Let it be love you only every day

1327
01:02:28,367 --> 01:02:31,647
for the honor of your name.

1328
01:02:33,007 --> 01:02:33,847
Okay, come on.

1329
01:02:33,847 --> 01:02:36,407
We're about to go back into
this song in a few moments, but I

1330
01:02:36,407 --> 01:02:36,807
want to.

1331
01:02:36,807 --> 01:02:38,767
I want you to pay attention to
the lyrics.

1332
01:02:39,327 --> 01:02:42,457
Let my life tell your story.

1333
01:02:43,337 --> 01:02:47,337
See, I think for many of you,
you were raised in the public educational

1334
01:02:47,337 --> 01:02:47,657
system.

1335
01:02:47,977 --> 01:02:48,537
That was.

1336
01:02:48,537 --> 01:02:49,977
What are you gonna be when you
grow up?

1337
01:02:49,977 --> 01:02:50,817
What are you gonna be?

1338
01:02:50,817 --> 01:02:51,537
What are you gonna be?

1339
01:02:51,537 --> 01:02:52,177
What are you gonna do?

1340
01:02:52,177 --> 01:02:53,417
What are you going to school for?

1341
01:02:53,497 --> 01:02:55,817
There's so many layers of
false identity.

1342
01:02:56,216 --> 01:03:00,537
What I believe God wants to do
tonight, what if God wants to do

1343
01:03:00,537 --> 01:03:04,457
right now, is, I believe,
break off those false stories.

1344
01:03:05,177 --> 01:03:06,817
You are more than your degrees.

1345
01:03:06,817 --> 01:03:07,727
You're more than your.

1346
01:03:08,037 --> 01:03:08,837
Your vocation.

1347
01:03:08,837 --> 01:03:09,477
You're more.

1348
01:03:09,477 --> 01:03:12,757
And there's a. I kept hearing
there's a different story.

1349
01:03:13,717 --> 01:03:14,117
Mom.

1350
01:03:14,197 --> 01:03:15,957
Mom, you're right there on the
front row.

1351
01:03:15,957 --> 01:03:18,717
Do you remember when me and
you used to quote that scripture

1352
01:03:18,717 --> 01:03:21,477
back and forth to each other
for years and years and years?

1353
01:03:21,477 --> 01:03:25,317
We would say, eye has not seen
nor ear heard.

1354
01:03:25,637 --> 01:03:28,277
Neither has it entered into
the heart of man.

1355
01:03:28,597 --> 01:03:30,837
That which I have prepared for you.

1356
01:03:31,157 --> 01:03:34,477
My mother and I used to say
that scripture to each other over

1357
01:03:34,477 --> 01:03:36,157
and over and over and over.

1358
01:03:36,397 --> 01:03:41,117
And the reason why is because
in our life, all we ever knew was

1359
01:03:41,117 --> 01:03:41,757
struggle.

1360
01:03:41,837 --> 01:03:43,597
All we ever knew was pain.

1361
01:03:43,757 --> 01:03:44,957
All we ever knew was.

1362
01:03:45,037 --> 01:03:46,637
So we had to tell each other.

1363
01:03:46,637 --> 01:03:47,117
There's.

1364
01:03:47,117 --> 01:03:47,757
There's another.

1365
01:03:47,837 --> 01:03:51,277
There's something else I has
not seen.

1366
01:03:51,517 --> 01:03:52,837
Because pride says.

1367
01:03:52,837 --> 01:03:53,997
Well, I've seen it all.

1368
01:03:53,997 --> 01:03:55,197
I know what's going to happen.

1369
01:03:55,357 --> 01:03:56,357
I've already been there.

1370
01:03:56,357 --> 01:03:58,717
Oh, I'm going to go right back
in the food stamp line.

1371
01:03:58,717 --> 01:03:59,757
I'm going to struggle.

1372
01:03:59,837 --> 01:04:01,507
I'm always, always going to be broke.

1373
01:04:01,507 --> 01:04:02,027
I'm always.

1374
01:04:02,027 --> 01:04:02,827
Oh, I know.

1375
01:04:02,827 --> 01:04:04,027
That's actually pride.

1376
01:04:04,747 --> 01:04:05,587
Do y' all hear me?

1377
01:04:05,587 --> 01:04:08,827
In the spirit, that's actually pride.

1378
01:04:09,227 --> 01:04:11,067
That says Oh, I know what's
going to happen.

1379
01:04:11,227 --> 01:04:13,067
It never works out for me.

1380
01:04:13,147 --> 01:04:15,387
I'm always going to be the one
that struggle.

1381
01:04:15,387 --> 01:04:16,587
Nobody likes me.

1382
01:04:16,587 --> 01:04:17,627
I'll never this.

1383
01:04:17,707 --> 01:04:20,867
So what happens is you have to
declare the word.

1384
01:04:20,867 --> 01:04:25,867
And we would say, eye has not
seen nor ear heard.

1385
01:04:26,677 --> 01:04:31,117
Neither has it entered into
the heart of man that which God has

1386
01:04:31,117 --> 01:04:32,517
prepared for.

1387
01:04:32,597 --> 01:04:35,397
And we would say, God, you
prepared something for me.

1388
01:04:35,637 --> 01:04:36,997
I don't know what it is.

1389
01:04:36,997 --> 01:04:40,517
I didn't think it was going to
be a movie in 2000 theaters.

1390
01:04:40,517 --> 01:04:43,077
I didn't think it was going to
be a seven campus church.

1391
01:04:43,077 --> 01:04:44,837
I didn't think, I didn't know
what the Lord.

1392
01:04:44,837 --> 01:04:46,677
But I just said, God, I'm open.

1393
01:04:47,077 --> 01:04:51,077
And every step that he took me
violated another version of me

1394
01:04:53,007 --> 01:04:53,447
because I

1395
01:04:53,447 --> 01:04:58,287
had to give him permission to
do something greater through me than

1396
01:04:58,287 --> 01:04:59,807
I even believed about me.

1397
01:05:00,767 --> 01:05:02,127
Do y' all hear what I'm saying?

1398
01:05:02,767 --> 01:05:05,647
I am someone with low self esteem.

1399
01:05:06,287 --> 01:05:09,647
I am somebody with severe
social anxiety.

1400
01:05:10,367 --> 01:05:14,127
So when I'm preaching to you,
I'm preaching from a place of authority

1401
01:05:14,527 --> 01:05:17,087
because I'm telling you I've
had to give God permission.

1402
01:05:17,507 --> 01:05:19,187
Well, I don't think I'm a
movie maker.

1403
01:05:19,187 --> 01:05:21,027
But if you think I am, I

1404
01:05:21,027 --> 01:05:22,907
surrender to you God, and I'll do

1405
01:05:22,907 --> 01:05:24,227
whatever you want me to do.

1406
01:05:24,547 --> 01:05:27,747
I don't think I'm a lead
pastor, but if you call me a lead

1407
01:05:27,747 --> 01:05:28,787
pastor, I'll surrender.

1408
01:05:28,867 --> 01:05:31,027
So there is a, a form of

1409
01:05:31,027 --> 01:05:34,547
pride that comes is false humility.

1410
01:05:35,587 --> 01:05:38,067
Oh, I'm talking welcome to the
after party.

1411
01:05:39,907 --> 01:05:41,747
Oh, well, I'll never have money.

1412
01:05:41,907 --> 01:05:45,997
Why can't Christians be
ridiculously wealthy?

1413
01:05:47,597 --> 01:05:50,717
That's false humility and a
religious spirit.

1414
01:05:52,397 --> 01:05:54,197
What if God said I want to

1415
01:05:54,197 --> 01:05:56,877
give you a lot of money so you
can give a lot of money?

1416
01:05:57,357 --> 01:05:58,477
What's wrong with that?

1417
01:05:58,877 --> 01:06:00,317
Who told you you can't?

1418
01:06:01,517 --> 01:06:04,797
What if, what if God is saying
that you're going to be a best selling

1419
01:06:04,797 --> 01:06:05,117
author?

1420
01:06:05,357 --> 01:06:06,637
Well, I don't know.

1421
01:06:06,717 --> 01:06:09,037
I never even got good grades
in English class.

1422
01:06:09,447 --> 01:06:12,887
God, if you called me an
author, I don't understand it.

1423
01:06:12,887 --> 01:06:14,607
I don't even know if I believe it.

1424
01:06:14,607 --> 01:06:18,167
But I have to receive it
because if you said it, God,

1425
01:06:21,367 --> 01:06:25,526
I got a book coming out in
October Forward by John Bevere.

1426
01:06:26,247 --> 01:06:29,407
I can't even, I'm looking at
the book like how did I get to the

1427
01:06:29,407 --> 01:06:32,407
point where John Bevere's
writing the foreword to my book?

1428
01:06:33,047 --> 01:06:35,207
I'll tell you, I has not,

1429
01:06:37,117 --> 01:06:37,317
I

1430
01:06:37,317 --> 01:06:40,397
has not seen nor ear heard.

1431
01:06:40,797 --> 01:06:43,197
Neither has I. Lord, I'm open.

1432
01:06:43,597 --> 01:06:45,437
It hasn't even entered My heart.

1433
01:06:45,437 --> 01:06:47,117
But I'm opening the gates.

1434
01:06:47,277 --> 01:06:50,237
And whatever you want in, I'll
let it in God.

1435
01:06:50,317 --> 01:06:52,317
Because it's not going to give
me glory.

1436
01:06:52,477 --> 01:06:56,717
It's going to give you glory
when you use somebody like me.

1437
01:06:57,997 --> 01:07:01,777
Come on, somebody, break free
from these chains.

1438
01:07:03,617 --> 01:07:06,657
I can, I will, I shall.

1439
01:07:07,057 --> 01:07:13,057
I can, I will, I shall I can,
I will, I shall.

1440
01:07:13,217 --> 01:07:15,617
And Jesus will get the glory.

1441
01:07:18,737 --> 01:07:20,497
You thought I forgot about
that song.

1442
01:07:24,497 --> 01:07:30,187
That's why I told Aaron it
can't be musicians from London.

1443
01:07:30,987 --> 01:07:33,787
It has to be our musicians
going to London.

1444
01:07:34,187 --> 01:07:38,907
So V1 Worship believes that
they are an international worship

1445
01:07:38,907 --> 01:07:39,227
team.

1446
01:07:40,347 --> 01:07:41,387
You hear what I'm saying?

1447
01:07:43,307 --> 01:07:45,227
The identity has to shift.

1448
01:07:46,667 --> 01:07:48,747
There's an identity that has
to shift.

1449
01:07:50,507 --> 01:07:53,077
Why can't churches sing our
song all over the world?

1450
01:07:53,317 --> 01:07:54,277
They already do.

1451
01:07:55,397 --> 01:07:57,077
See, I think what happened is.

1452
01:07:57,477 --> 01:07:59,557
Have you ever heard that term gatekeeping?

1453
01:08:01,477 --> 01:08:02,917
The devil's gatekeeping.

1454
01:08:02,917 --> 01:08:03,797
Your blessing.

1455
01:08:04,117 --> 01:08:07,237
But not even the gates of hell
will prevail.

1456
01:08:07,557 --> 01:08:11,877
Because whatever God says I'll
do, however long he says I'll live.

1457
01:08:12,197 --> 01:08:17,077
Whatever he says, I'll have
eyes have not seen nor But I believe

1458
01:08:17,477 --> 01:08:18,747
and my heart open.

1459
01:08:18,987 --> 01:08:20,107
Are you all with me?

1460
01:08:20,747 --> 01:08:21,507
So now that I.

1461
01:08:21,507 --> 01:08:23,067
Because I feel a breakthrough.

1462
01:08:23,067 --> 01:08:24,667
Did a breakthrough happen out there?

1463
01:08:27,707 --> 01:08:31,307
And you know what I love is
whatever age or whatever stage, the

1464
01:08:31,307 --> 01:08:34,267
Lord will raise up an example
to clap back at you.

1465
01:08:34,907 --> 01:08:36,027
Well, I'm too old.

1466
01:08:36,027 --> 01:08:38,827
Okay, I give you Abraham.

1467
01:08:42,907 --> 01:08:44,087
I give you Abraham.

1468
01:08:45,197 --> 01:08:46,157
Well, I'm too young.

1469
01:08:46,397 --> 01:08:48,077
I give you Timothy.

1470
01:08:49,437 --> 01:08:50,517
Well, I used to kill.

1471
01:08:50,517 --> 01:08:51,517
I killed people.

1472
01:08:51,597 --> 01:08:52,157
I went.

1473
01:08:52,157 --> 01:08:52,837
I was.

1474
01:08:52,837 --> 01:08:53,637
I'm a killer.

1475
01:08:53,637 --> 01:08:54,877
I give you Paul.

1476
01:08:56,077 --> 01:08:57,597
Well, I'm not real eloquent.

1477
01:08:57,597 --> 01:08:58,957
I give you Moses.

1478
01:08:59,996 --> 01:09:02,637
You give me excuses, and I
give you examples.

1479
01:09:03,117 --> 01:09:06,077
But the only difference
between the excuse and the example

1480
01:09:06,317 --> 01:09:07,677
is who said yes.

1481
01:09:08,637 --> 01:09:09,197
Come on.

1482
01:09:09,197 --> 01:09:10,317
Timothy said yes.

1483
01:09:10,887 --> 01:09:12,087
Moses said yes.

1484
01:09:12,407 --> 01:09:13,687
Paul said yes.

1485
01:09:13,927 --> 01:09:15,367
Who's gonna say yes?

1486
01:09:16,007 --> 01:09:17,127
I'll say yes.

1487
01:09:17,367 --> 01:09:18,327
You do the rest.

1488
01:09:18,327 --> 01:09:20,087
God, open up the gates.

1489
01:09:20,327 --> 01:09:21,047
Come on in.

1490
01:09:21,047 --> 01:09:22,007
King of glory.

1491
01:09:22,247 --> 01:09:24,567
Change what you need to change God.

1492
01:09:24,567 --> 01:09:25,847
You can use anybody.

1493
01:09:25,927 --> 01:09:28,647
I won't be surprised when you
use Robert Morris.

1494
01:09:28,727 --> 01:09:32,127
I won't be surprised when you
start using the people that the world

1495
01:09:32,127 --> 01:09:33,287
says can't be used.

1496
01:09:33,527 --> 01:09:36,167
Because if you're not dead,
you're not done.

1497
01:09:36,407 --> 01:09:37,287
There's more.

1498
01:09:37,447 --> 01:09:39,447
Does anybody believe the gospel?

1499
01:09:40,907 --> 01:09:42,507
Who believes the gospel?

1500
01:09:43,307 --> 01:09:45,267
Shout unto God and let's sing it.

1501
01:09:45,267 --> 01:09:46,707
Let's sing ourselves free.

1502
01:09:46,707 --> 01:10:16,877
Come on, Sam.
