All right, you all may be seated. Let's get into this message. Real quick, who gave up the witchcraft? Come up here. Let's expose some darkness. If you gave up the witchcraft, or you gave up the weed. If you gave up the witchcraft, or the weed, or whatever all that stuff is, come up here. Let's testify. Let's testify about it. All right. All right. Cool. So what'd you give up? Woman of God, what'd you give up? All this witchcraft? So what's your name? Lisa. And how long you been doing it for? Oh, probably about 15 years. So you were doing all this witchcraft, like the sound bowls and? No, I didn't know it was witchcraft. Some of these things were gifts, these prayer beads, and you know, you can heal your life, and you know, this is going to make you relax, and the sound bath, and the crystals, and everything. I didn't know. I didn't know. The Bible says my people died for lack of knowledge, so, but thank God he revealed it. Now you're good, right? And through repentance, and look, like all these little things, like yoga, and Buddha, and dream secrets, unlocking the mystery of dreams without biblical interpretation, of course, more Buddhism, medical medium, medical mediumship, happiness. Now there's so many new ones, man. Astrology, the mastery of love without Jesus, false love, medicine woman, shamanism, angel therapy, the worship of angels, like the Bible says, never worship an angel. You got all this other stuff. I don't even know what this is. I guess this is supposed to, whatever it was, a whole bunch of stuff. Well, look at this. Animals speak, pocket God. Well, just praise God that God revealed that all this is deception, and that you don't need this. You got his word, you got the scriptures, you got his voice, his presence, and now all this is done, right? Because I want you to do something

for me. I want you to throw it away. Go ahead. If you're done with all this, and you're done with the deception, the witchcraft, you go ahead and throw it away. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. She's done. High five. All right. Who gave up all this weed? Come up here. What's your name? Tatiana. Tatiana. How long have you been smoking weed? For about four years. Four years. What made you get into it? You know, that's what I grew up around, and hanging around the wrong crowd and stuff. Product of your environment type of deal, right? And you didn't follow Jesus, right? You just, let me guess, you kind of knew about him, but you didn't. Yeah, I knew about him, but I grew up around the church and stuff, but you know, I didn't wholeheartedly follow him. That's, you're honest. That's how I know you care. Because some people will say, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, I can smoke weed and be a Christian. You're right. And you just know you got convicted. The Holy Spirit convicted your heart to know that you can't be a Christian and smoke the weed. Well, praise God, that's a lot of weed. There's just a bunch of paraphernalia bags, all that stuff. Liquor, all that. Oh, liquor too? There's liquor in there too? All this is yours too? Man, so all this, I want you to just throw it all away then. If you're done, throw it all away. You go ahead and do that. Come on. We thank you, Jesus. This is repentance. God bless you. All right. Weed. Gave up, gave up weed. Do you have it in the car? Oh, go get it right now. Go get it. Come on It's all your stuff It's the weed. Yeah, that's me. We didn't and how long you've been smoking for? I'm about to be 28 then they're half my life. I've been smoking since I'm like 14. Yeah, so you just raised around it Influence, I mean nobody in my family smoke

I kind of just razor was around the wrong people growing up and that's what caused you to keep doing it You needed it. Why what made you smoke for so long? I mean when I was young I convinced myself that I was stressing So I just did it in the household Then after I stopped stressing it was an addiction and I stopped before like a year, but then I started doing it back So now it's like I feel like it's like I don't know. It's kind of hard to stop this time Okay, and when's the last time you smoke weed? Today today, that's honest I'm gonna say something to As You were speaking bro as you were speaking the Lord showed me a vision of you Like I was just I was just listening to the Holy Spirit And I saw you like getting on a ship and traveling and the Lord showed me that you're called to actually travel and preach the gospel and that you're gonna you're gonna preach the gospel and You're gonna preach the gospel in a way That's gonna bring people to deep heartfelt repentance like like the spirit of Elijah, bro Like you're gonna preach repentance and remission of sins that you have a preacher's call on your life Because you have a very very strong voice and when you preach people are gonna come to repentance. Okay, this is a serious call Like I said, it's a real call Not everybody's called to go doesn't make you better if you travel if you stay local, right? but some people are called to travel and preach the gospel right and you're called for that and The Lord wants you to know that is that coming to Christ is not just gonna be boring or whatever. You're gonna really experience spiritual things He's saying that you cannot run from it. No matter how hard you try.

I'll tell you this Someone right Jesus Right This message. I'm gonna preach tonight. It's gonna it's gonna help Elaborate more on what I'm about to say, but God coming to Jesus is not Like a religious thing like where we just come to like go to church and be like, I don't smoke anymore I'm a good guy or a good girl, and I'm super Christian. That's not what this walk is about it's knowing him so much that you experience him in such a way and So many times you continue to experience him. Hey, bro, you don't even have time for this Like it's just it doesn't become desirable anymore if you could smell it You could be around it and you're repulsed He'll piss you off to be honest And that's what God wants to do with you. It's not religion It's not like it's not what you probably thought. This is a real encounter So after tonight, I believe you get you've been experiencing God you already have You got filled with the Holy Spirit already Yeah, yeah, bro, and you and and now it's just you're making this move you get baptized tonight If it's in God's will of course it's in it's a yes, that's what the word says believe the gospel repent and you get baptized Like it's not like you have to wait 10 years and go through seminary school the early church You believe the gospel you repent going it's time That's why we do baptisms every service not because we want to be cool and oh look at us. We baptize every service We're not even Baptists. We're just Christians Yeah But we know what this like the scriptures like that like Philip with the Ethiopian governor when the minute that man understood the gospel through the book of Isaiah

He said can I go in that water right there? He's like, let's go. No, I'm not the chariot baptized him He was that's it. I've been wanting to get baptized for a while, but I never um, not on my time on his time Yeah, his timing is now Salvation is now for real. That's his word like it's not but it's for real. It's time So go ahead and throw that away. I'm gonna pray for you. Go ahead throw that away. Hallelujah.

Amen Religion will never shut your mouth. Remember that you remember that word one day. Hallelujah, man. God is good, huh? All right. Let's get into this word You could yeah, you guys could just get rid of that garbage can All right, man, I

Really feel like there's an urgency in the spirit man, like the Lord has been speaking to me all week about the urgency of Of disciples being made and not false converts I was talking to a brother today about that and um, he was just telling me like You were just fellowshipping talking about, you know, he's out there in Virginia and he was just talking to me about how you know right before I called him he just met some people in the streets and They got they just were ready Got delivered from suicide and all these things got baptized with the Holy Spirit, you know crazy miracles. He told me something He's like rich. I just been praying. I've been saying God I'm just tired of going to the streets and they're just me casting my pearls to swine he's like God send me to people who are ready and He says since he's been praying that every time he goes out like most of the time It's just encounter after encounter after encounter. I was like, man, I remember back in the day I would pray for that, but I really lacked in prayer in that area for I'd say a few years And it just blessed me was so refreshing because man how many times do you preach that the gospel when you're evangelizing and like They're just not receptive and it's a waste of time and like we could as a team as a ministry team we could take one of those videos and make it a powerful encounter like the other times we go to the smoke shop and People are crying and getting touched and giving their life to Jesus but man like what breaks my heart is when I don't see them really walking in discipleship and It gets old and it's like man. I don't want to Just do this, you know and yes, thank God it goes viral like the brother said he saw me on tik-tok and Many people will see it and get saved through that video Even if the person doesn't really walk with the Lord, but I was like God I want to see people just even the people I'm talking to Like they really grow as disciples

Like I'm tired of the thought the false converts there's so many false converts and there and a lot of them are are just deceived by false doctrine and When we went out to evangelize on Friday, we were talking about the knowledge of God we tied it in into evangelism you're talking about how How many times do you you go downtown or you go wherever you go to evangelize and you say? Do you know Jesus and they say yeah, I know him, but then you know, they don't know him How many times have you experienced that and who was out with me evangelizing on Friday? After I gave that word how many times did you encounter that I? Heard a lot of testimonies of people like man I actually encountered that like people saying I know Jesus, but they don't know him and the scriptures are very clear You'll know a tree by its fruit. There's so many Bible verses that back up The difference between someone who knows God and who says they know God but doesn't At least an atheist is real about what they believe But what's worse is when you claim to know Jesus But you don't know him you don't follow him you're not bearing the fruit of someone who knows him But then you act like you do that's worse that's that's That's false conversion. That's Hypocritical, that's that's the Lord Lord. I did all these things in your name and he'll say I never knew you In the beginning in the garden we ate from the tree of the knowledge No of good and evil That knowledge of good and evil without Jesus leading us leads to this type of False gospel of I know about Jesus, but I don't know him personally I know about Jesus death dying on the cross. I believe that he did rise from the dead, but the Bible says even the demons believe and they tremble. Can a demon get saved? You know how many people asked on Friday? If you saw my live, I asked a few people that and they said, yeah, a demon can get saved. There's people are in deception. They're not being taught the true gospel.

It's going to church to hear a feel good message and then go home. I don't even know the severity of it. I'm, I'm in the eyes of, of, of, of, of a timeline. I'm a, I'm newer to this, but some of you have been raised in the church longer than me. I wasn't raised in the church. I don't know about that stuff, but some of y'all have seen it. Some of y'all have been that person and bro revival is, is, is the church coming alive. It's the body of Christ coming alive. Yes. Unbelievers getting saved too, but it's the, it's look at Israel when, you know, in the old Testament, when Israel would be in deception and, and God would, he would, he would, he would correct through the prophets. He would rebuke the people because they had the form of godliness, but they didn't, they didn't really follow God. They claimed to know him and they did the religious activities and the sacrifices and, and the Sabbaths and all these things, but their heart was far from him. We see it from the old to the new covenant. Nothing new is under the sun. It's the same thing. Instead of the Sabbath, you might serve on the, on the production team. Instead of, instead of the ritualistic sacrifices, you might take communion every Sunday, but you don't follow him. This is why the apostle Paul said people were dying in the house fellowships in the, in the early church because they were, they were looking at communion like it was whatever, when it's a holy thing, we're under a better covenant than the covenant that David was under. Like, that's crazy to me. We want to be David's. We want to be, and I've seen this so many times that people say, I want to be a David. It's somebody that's after the nature of God to be a man after God's own heart. As someone who's willing to go through the fire, we think that love is a feeling. You know how many people think love is a feeling, the love of God. What's the love of God? It's a choice. It's a choice to suffer for him. It's a choice to do the right thing. When your flesh is telling you to do the wrong thing, it's not a feel good hippie message. That's not love. Agape is sacrifice that hurts when that temptation of that marijuana comes back and you're in your room and you feel that pressure, but you say, I love God. And you say, in the name of Jesus, every demon leave. I'm not doing it. And you get up and praise them and you get up and shout and you leave the house. You do whatever you need to do to make sure you don't hit up that plug or smoke that blunt because you love God. That's what it means to love. That's what love is. It's sacrifice for God. So love the world that Jesus come to be a hippie. He came to die an excruciating,

excruciatingly painful death on the cross. How does that feel? Good. You think Jesus felt good when he was walking with that cross? He was suffering. Yes, the strength of the Lord, the joy of the Lord gave him the ability to keep going. But there's times where I'm suffering and I have joy that comes from God. There's times where I don't know what's going to happen in my life, but God gives me joy to keep on going. He gives me strength. And it doesn't always feel good. Like the world tells you the love of God, the love of God. It's false. You go, you'll be deceived thinking that love is supposed to be feel good all the time. And if I don't feel good, this isn't Jesus. No, he came to divide. He came to purify. He came to bring us to deeper and deeper sanctification. He didn't come so that we could just feel good all the time, bro. Like Paul said, he partook in the, he fellowshiped in the sufferings of Christ. Like he literally prayed. He wanted to suffer like Jesus Christ. He had counted that amazing. He looked at that as, I want that so bad. Like some of you guys are praying for that new job or that pay raise. Paul was praying to suffer like Jesus. How can a man, how can a man pray to suffer like Christ? The only way is if he experienced him. There's no other way. There's no other way you can get your minds and heart off of the world. Unless you encounter the. true living God and continue to encounter him. There's no other way. That's what separates the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goats. This is the separation. Do you want the world or do you want Jesus who overcame the world? If you want Jesus, it's going to come with division, separation, set apartness, holiness. It's going to come with suffering. It's going to come with times where you feel alone. It's going to come with times where you're going through warfare and nobody understands but you and God. But that's the whole point. That's the fight of faith. That's what makes a soldier. That's love. We're in the end of times. Wickedness is at an all time high. This isn't supposed to be a church where we just come to get cute and just praise a little bit and go home and live this in life. No, I want this to be a discipleship house. I want you guys in the back who I might be looking at me crazy or over here, over here to be like, man, I'm done. Like I'm done. I want to be a disciple. I want to walk this walk out and really follow Jesus. Did you come to the church because you want to get married? What's your, this is how you know where your heart's at. What gave you the desire to come to the house of God today? What gives you the desire to pray every day? It has

to be Jesus. It has to be Jesus. And if it's not, it's okay. God's convicting your, your heart right now. It's time to repent. Did you, did you come to the house of God just because you want healing or deliverance or demon cast it out? And just so you don't have sleep paralysis anymore to go back to the clubs. I was evangelizing Friday and the Lord, he just quickened me to go into a nightclub. He quickened me to go straight into a nightclub. I'm walking. He stops me. Boom. We walked straight in with the lights and camera and action, everything. And they're all looking at us crazy. And I could feel, I could discern by the spirit. They thought, wow, look at this expensive camera. This is the opportunity for promotion. So instead of kicking us out, they come in and begin to talk. The bartender comes up who is, who is serving drinks. And she asked me what I'm doing. The security comes up, asked me what I'm doing. I tell them it's about Jesus. I start preaching. Immediately when I start, start preaching, she dips, he stays, but I can tell he's convicted, but he doesn't want to surrender. But guess who comes down? Guess who? God brought the manager of the nightclub. And he comes and he's, he says, he he's pacing back and forth a little bit. I go straight to him. I said, man, let's talk about it. He goes, you don't even know who I am. I said, all right, let's talk. This man was on a seven day water fast. He's on day five fasting and praying against demonic alters, pulls out his prayer list from his phone to show me this is real life. I'm reading it as if I'm reading my own prayer list. It's that it's like so similar. And I'm sitting here like you're praying against demonic alters, but this is a demonic altar. So his fasting and praying led to that rebuke face to face, right? Face to face, like a real man of God, a woman of God would do face to face. You see, cause a lot of people on the internet will get real scary when it comes to face to face stuff. As Christians, we got to be face to face with people. When we go to preach the gospel, it's face to face. And there's going to be times where, you know, this person does not follow God and you got to tell them the truth. And yes, you do it kindly and gently. And with grace, if you watch the video, you see, I did by the grace of God. I was all that, but I told you, this is not what God wants for you. This is a demonic altar. You know it. And he received it. His brother's the owner of the nightclub. He's the general manager of a major nightclub in downtown Orlando on his fifth day. Number five is grace on his fifth day. God sends a labor. I'm a simple labor into his nightclub. That's how much God loves him. But these are the, this is what God wants to do in our lives.

God wants to use us in ways that, that change other, other people's lives. Do you want to come to Christ just to feel better? Come on, let's be real. Or is it to really walk this walk out? It takes sacrifice. It takes suffering. It takes dying to yourself. It takes Jesus. I love you so much. This will never take me from, from our relationship. I'm not going to let this sin. issue no matter how much i'm suffering no matter how much i don't want to do this god i know i have to do it and because i have to do it i'm being obedient to because i love you that's the love of god that's the love of god because he did that for us jesus the fullness of god bodily he did that for us his entire ministry was suffering suffering the entire time is three and a half years of ministry we we look at the cross yes but also those three and a half years knowing they would betray him knowing they were going to walk away knowing that they looked at him differently their hearts were far from him knowing all of these things still healing the sick casting out devils preaching the gospel preaching repentance the kingdom is at hand still doing all that for people who are going to put them up on the cross is that is that feel good do you think jesus was walking around like kumbaya is that what we've we've dumbed down christianity to a kumbaya message that feels good you might as well go to witchcraft that's what all those books were about you can feel good you can be happy bro my joy my peace doesn't come from any external worldly thing it comes from god and if god wants to use a vessel or or a situation or an opportunity to to demonstrate his love to me the glory goes to the father i'm looking to see father where are you moving in this area how are you how are you showing me you love me i'm not looking at the people i'm not looking at the the opportunity as oh my gosh i'm so amazing i'm so great no i'm looking at it like god thank you for who you are thank you that in this moment and i'm gonna tell you something i sent my kids out on whole foods to go evangelize friday night they had pizza my wife likes to give him pizza on fridays this cauliflower pizza is good and the next day we went to whole foods to get food real quick we were in the area and my sons my sons go because i bring them there before they have this these 12 pizzas that are that are five they're good and my sons are like i want pizza dad come on pizza and i said no we're not getting pizza again you know better richard no jeremiah no and i hear the holy spirit say no tell them to go tell somebody that jesus loves them and if they do it you're getting pizza so i said amen let's do it i say okay richard

before you even formed in your mother's womb that means he intimately knew everything about you before you were even created in a womb before your soul was even was even even even was was formed in that womb Jesus already knew you intimately if God knew you before you were formed in the womb why do we sometimes act like we have to earn his attention now listen why do we have to act like we have to earn his attention now if he intimately knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb and loves us so much instead of trying to earn attention we should rest and truth that which is that he loved us before we even knew him does God love you not look at this does God love you more now that you're saved did God love you less when you were in the world no so can we earn his love so why don't people feel loved by God how many have not been feeling loved by God I'll tell you why it's because you're not believing truth the love of God will touch you and fill you and empower you to love as well when you just believe when you read the scriptures I was reading first John 5 today it's God's love that gets you through these situations where you don't want to do something but you know you should and his love can only fill you the Spirit of God can only fill you by his grace when you believe if you don't believe what I'm saying if you don't believe this message and you thought that coming to Christ was gonna be some type of ritual or seance or some type of thing where you get smacked on the head and everything changes I'm serious it's not gonna work you actually have to have faith you actually have to believe that before you were formed in your mother's womb he knew you some of you look at this scripture like it's just poetic like it's just a like oh it's just to make me feel good this is the truth look at this Galatians 4 9 look at the Apostle Paul he corrects himself mid-sentence in a verse but now that you have come to know God he goes or rather to be known by God so he's he's he's teaching this church in Galatia now that you have come to know God wait or rather on my fault sorry be known by God Paul was the most precise writer in the New Testament he didn't make mistakes so when he stops mid-sentence and corrects you have to you have come to know God you are known by God he's making a

deliberate theological statement the origin of your salvation is not your decision it is God's knowledge of you that existed before you were ever made a decision at all so have you been taking credit for a relationship that God started before you were even born so does everybody get a chance does God give everybody a chance to be saved yes but we have the free will to decide to say yes or no everybody gets a everybody whether it's you just going outside one day how many times in the world did you go outside before you got saved look around at the trees and rocks and the stars and just start getting this impression on your heart like what the heck am I doing here like where's who's God how many I've experienced that well you're just like oh my goodness you have like that emotional moment I had that emotional moment when I was on the island of Crete in Greece and I remember like coming to Christ like man that was me looking for God no that was God putting that feeling on my heart that was God drawing me in that was God saying it's time that was him that wasn't me that wasn't me being super spiritual finding God like whoa I'm good no no that was God putting that on me to want to know what's the purpose of life what are we doing here that was the Lord so your testimony where you talk about how you started coming to God no he started drawing you so if he drew you to him why would he leave you now why would he forsake you why would he give up on you because you made a mistake why would he look at you and say you're not worthy he's not crossing his arms looking at you like look at you I'm waiting for you to sin again his arms are wide open like come on let's go it's time we're not obedient to God because we don't want to go to hell we're obedient to God because we love him and how can you love God unless his love is revealed to you and how can the love of God be revealed to you unless you believe the truth in his word it's identity that leads to intimacy which leads to encounter assignment it's knowing God you love me that should be the first foundational identity point that you believe that God loves you and right now your revelation of God's love for you might not be super deep but if it's just enough it'll keep that gas on

your tank to keep going when you want to give up you remember but God loves me he knew me before I was formed in my brother's room he created me he drew me to him and brought me to an encounter with Jesus no one comes to the son lest the father draws him in so God through this trial I'm suffering because of the truth in your word I have power to get through it that's what the Bible is the sword of the Spirit it's not a physical Bible you hold up like you cool it's believing what's in that Bible it's believing the scriptures that get you through the trials meditating on it and saying it out loud and praising it and worshiping it Jesus be the name do you believe it when you say that or does it just sound good to you what's the difference between Jesus be the name and the worldly music you used to listen to I'll tell you that that when I say Jesus be the name I got experience behind that I feel that in my heart when I say Jesus be the name I can't stop crying with tears because for real he's Almighty he's my God Jesus be the name and when I when I sing that it's it's different it's real his love is manifest in my atmosphere because I'm believing what I'm saying so when I'm worshiping and I'm right here and my hands up his presence is smacking me with his love it's just empowering me I'm getting filled up in my tank my worship is not empty it's what revelation and encounter when you believe the truth in God's Word you encounter him you know the early church they fought so much heretical doctrine and one of the biggest heretical religious groups was the Gnostics who believed that Jesus came as a man that the Spirit of Jesus came on him but when he went to the cross before he suffered the Spirit of Jesus came off of him and that Jesus didn't suffer false doctrine they wanted to take out the suffering from the gospel and you see throughout the scriptures correction and and building up of the churches because of this heretical doctrine just like we have now this false grace stuff that this this this false grace stuff that that that poisons the church and I was talking to another brother today from New York and he was he was heartbroken because somebody he grew up with that he loves so much the Lord had given me a word about him a week ago and the Lord told me to pray for me and I

hit him up like why is God telling me to pray and he said he got taken out by false doctrine he got taken out by by that hyper grace heretical stuff and and he's gone and now he's dividing from it it's breaking it's breaking his heart to pray for him how do people get taken out how do people go from believing the gospel to believing a false gospel I'll tell you why lack of experience lack of experience with the Holy Spirit you need to experience the God who inspired the writer to write the scriptures you have to you can be a theology major and still be under deception you can memorize the Bible front and back and still be on your way to hell you have to know the God who wrote the Bible everyone say experience say I have to know him look at this look at this there was a time when a human being a human being Adam could hear the voice of God in the garden and feel nothing but safety but then one decision turned the safest sound God's voice in the universe into the most terrifying look at this Galatians 3 8 they heard the sound the Lord walking in the garden and the Lord called to the man, Adam, where are you? Do you ever think about this? Why did God ask Adam where he was at if he knew? I'll tell you why. Because God knew that Adam fell, but God still was trying to reconcile him back to him. God was trying to reconcile Adam back to his arms, but Adam still wouldn't repent. Everyone say reconciliation. And the Hebrew word for walking is the word halak. And it means continuous, habitual, habitual action, meaning God doesn't visit the garden occasional. You know the Bible says that he walked with Adam in the cool of the day. It was a habitual, constant, everyday, normal thing. Adam walked in the safety of God's presence, hearing the voice of God. But the minute he falls, the minute he sins against God, he hears God's voice and he hides. How many of you have been hiding from God because of sin? You know God, you've experienced him, but you've been hiding like Adam. And God is saying tonight, repent. He wants you to reconcile. He knows where you've been hiding, even when you've been running away from the church and you've been in the bars, the clubs, smoking weed. God's been right there the whole time. Do you think God is distant from the Muslim? You think God is distant from the murderer

or the rapist? God is omnipresent, but he'll only manifest his presence to someone who comes to Jesus. And sin gives us the feeling of separation. How do I know this? Jesus on the cross, Father, Father, why have you forsaken me? That word forsaken is separation. Jesus felt the complete separation that sin brings, even though he wasn't separated. But he felt the consequences of sin in fullness. That's why when we start to feel distant, how many of y'all been feeling distant from God? It's probably because you've been practicing sin or haven't been in his presence. I've never met someone who's abiding in an intimacy with God who feels different, who feels distant. When we abide, when we spend time with God daily, we continuously feel and experience being in the Spirit. You don't feel distant from God. You feel close to him. You feel like he's right there. You feel like he gets closer and closer, even though he's the closest that could possibly be, because he lives inside of you. But come on, let's be real. Do we walk around all day thinking or feeling God's inside of me right now? No. But when he shows up in a moment or when his presence touches you or his love or a revelation, whatever it is, you remember, God, you'll never leave me or forsake me. You're with me. I love you. I thank you. But when you start feeling distant, it's not because God is distant. It's because you're feeling the separation that Adam felt and that even Jesus felt on the cross. It's through repentance. It's through confession. It's through recognizing, God, I need you and I'm wrong, that he comes like a mighty rushing wind. And that's why I say this hyper-grace stuff is so demonic, because it teaches people you don't have to repent anymore. You repent one time, it just means to change your mind. If you go deeper in the Greek, it doesn't just mean to change your thoughts. It means to change your whole inner being. It's to inside realize, I need to change, which leads to a change of direction. I know that people who are under that false gospel, they don't know the Holy Spirit. You can't tell me you know the Holy Spirit if you don't feel grieved or convicted when you sin. If you don't feel like, man, like I need to go seek God because I haven't spent time with him in a few days. How do you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you and you don't feel that? I believe

people here tonight are gonna really get filled with the Holy Spirit and baptize in his power. Because man, the Holy Spirit will prompt you. He'll quicken you. He'll convict you. He'll teach you. He'll lead you. It's so supernatural. This is not a religious like thing. This is a real experiential walk. That's what it means to know God. It's to experience him. And I'm giving everything I have tonight and hope that at least a few people will change tonight and encounter God for real. And I know this message is gonna make some people mad. It's not a popular message. Some people will say, he's preaching heresy. That's false. But this is the gospel that we see all throughout the scriptures. And it's not popular. The Bible says that the path is narrow. Not everybody finds it. But when you find that path, which is knowing God, everything shifts, amen. I love you, Jesus. Everyone say disciples. Romans chapter one, verse 21. Look at this for, although they knew God, look at this, everyone say new. They did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile, futile in their thinking and their foolish hearts were darkened. So the reason the world feels lost is not because people stop believing in God. It's because something inside every human being broke and no one can see clearly enough to find their way back on their own. How many people have you met that say they believe in God, but they don't know him? That's the brokenness of what sin does of the fallen world of humanity, and they don't even know how to get to God. I've evangelized to so many people that say, yeah, I believe that Jesus died on the cross, but I don't know. I'm good. And it's because of this, their hearts been darkened. Their thinking is futile, spinning in circles with no destination, darkened like a room with where the lights are turned off, which means the fall didn't make people stop believing

God exists and made them incapable of seeing him so clearly. So every human being is born with an awareness that something is out there and also having an inability to reach it on their own. How many, how many things have you used to fill a void that only the knowledge of God was designed to fill? Look at this. I, uh, Hosea chapter four, verse six. I love this verse. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you've rejected knowledge. I reject you from being a priest to me. We think that knowledge means information. This word again is experiential, knowing God, knowing of God under the old covenant Israel. They were very religious and they were very, they had, they did a lot of activities, but they didn't know God. So they were destroyed because of a lack of intimacy with God. The most dangerous church on the planet is not the one that's empty. It's the one that's full of people who worship a God they've never actually met. I'm going to say that again. The most dangerous church on the planet is not the one that's empty. We think a church being filled means the church is doing well, no, no, no. It's the one that's full of people who worship of a God that they've never even met. That's scary to be in church and you've never met God tonight. If you're that person where you're like, man, I want to meet God, I'm tired of religion. He's going to meet you at this altar. I promise you. He wants you to come home. Look at this. What are we supposed to brag about in Christ? Jeremiah chapter nine, verse 23. Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, which many people do.

Let not, let not the mighty man boast in his might, which many people do. Let not the rich man boast in his riches, which many people do look at this, but let him who boasts, boasts in this, that he understands and knows me. This is what we're supposed to brag about. I understand God theologically and I know him experientially around evangelizing and people are saying, I know God. We can say, no, you don't. Because if you did, you wouldn't be doing these things that I used to do that you're still doing. How are you going to judge me? I'm judging you righteously. I understand God theologically through his word, but I also know him experientially. And I know that if you met the guy that I'm talking about, the Jesus of the Bible, you wouldn't be doing these things either. And I'm telling you, when you start preaching that truth through evangelism, people will get touched. They'll start looking at you like, okay, this ain't a Jehovah's witness. This ain't a Mormon. This ain't a person that's just coming out here to just do a church activity. This person really wants to save my soul. This person really actually might've met God. What are you talking about? Let me hear what you got to say. We have to represent God rightly that we understand him and we know him experientially. Philippians 3.8, look at this. I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus. My Lord and look at this fast forward. He says this that I may know him And the power of his resurrection and may share his sufferings

Before this you see the apostle paul saying he was a hebrew of all hebrews that under the law He was blameless that he was he was the he was the man as a pharisee as a pharisee as a religious leader He was the top of the top Well known well respected taken care of everybody honored him But he counted all that as nothing compared to knowing christ And to take it even deeper He wanted to partake in sharing christ's sufferings Again why would this man speak like this? Because on the roads of damascus Saul Riding that horse was knocked down By jesus christ himself blinded And heard the voice of god That brought him to such deep repentance for three days being blind and then miraculously his eyes opening up He was sold out for the gospel The only reason that paul speaks like this is because he's experienced god. He knows him And Some of you are thinking right now that how do I experience god? you must seek to find You must in your heart humble yourself and say god I want you and i'm telling you tonight If that's you and you come to this altar vulnerable open undignified Not caring about people Like jesus. I want you you will experience him here at this altar I have seen people I've seen people encounter god miraculously at this altar and then i've seen people with their arms crossed Looking crazy at me How can this be in the same location

The same proximity the same vicinity one person is encountering the living god Can't even stand not to the ground delivered from demons encountering his presence Crying profusely because they're experiencing him right there But then the person next to him is with their arms crossed looking at me saying hey, bro, can you pray for me real quick? How That's because one's heart is open one wants jesus and the other one wants jesus To do whatever to do whatever he has to do to get to him But the bible says that no one comes to the son unless the father draws you he'll draw you but he won't force you The holy spirit will respect the decision of your heart If in your heart you say god, I don't really believe in you like that But if you're real then show up then I've seen this guy on on tiktok and instagram and it looks pretty real. So if it's real then do something about it. No That pride will not like that you can't you can't encounter god with that pride there's no pride in him You need to come to god humble broken contrite Undignified Undignified and ready for for him to to do to encounter you However, it is whether it's a word whether it's his presence whether it's just a vision his love whatever it is Just open to receive whatever it is because you just want jesus. Amen And that's how we have to be in the secret place every day You ever been to the secret place in pride? You ever been to the secret place thinking about too many things and what happens no encounter? You start worshiping god, but you're thinking about all the things you have to do for the day no encounter You start praying in the spirit and you're thinking about someone who offended you no encounter But the minute you say jesus forget all of that. It's all about you. Boom his presence drops This is some of you have been you haven't been experiencing the presence of god and you've been wondering why it's because You're not seeking jesus for jesus. You're seeking jesus for you for yourself You're seeking jesus because you want something for you instead of I want jesus because he's everything Your heart has to be postured in a way of I am just nothing but a piece of sand on a big old beach My life is nothing but a vapor

God had to get me to that point To where I realized This life means nothing And the minute I realized it And I just wanted jesus. That's when he came That's when he showed up But I was at a broken state. I was contrite. I was ready to receive god And it took time, but he did it He did it So tonight again if you come to this altar come open and ready to receive jesus amen How many y'all feel really like just empowered right now amen, okay again it's not a popular message but and this is the verse that everybody quotes and they love to tie this to deliverance ministry the prophetic ministry and the working of miracles to try to discredit it like it's something bad Lord Lord did we not prophesy your name Matthew 7 we know we know the verse right cast out demons do miracles prophecy we love to quote that but then we forget this part and then he will declare to them I never knew you workers of iniquity workers of lawlessness isn't that crazy workers of iniquity workers of lawlessness I never knew you so not knowing God is tied to the practicing of sin so when someone doesn't know God they will continue to work iniquity they will continue to be rebellious they will continue to do the thing they shouldn't do because they have not experienced him and on Judgment Day the Bible says there will be many who say this highest power highest power God God Lord Lord Jesus Jesus right and he'll say I never knew you does it mean that God didn't know the person no he knew him that before they were formed in their mother's womb but it's like it's that they never had intimacy with him because they lacked intimacy because they didn't know him they cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven so there's gonna be people in hell who were used by God but didn't know him is deliverance ministry powerful I hope you say yes yes is prophecy perfect for the church that to

edify and encourage the church yes is the working of miracles great that's all it works for the Holy Spirit you say those things are bad you might be blaspheming the Holy Ghost stop those things are amazing it's the working of the working power of the Holy Spirit praise Jesus but that's not that's not what the scriptures trying to show us here the scriptures showing us that you can do the greatest things in the kingdom and be used by God and still not make it because you didn't have intimacy because you didn't know him oh but I'm 17 18 19 14 no no you think age matters hey you think you got to live your life a little bit longer no bro like he's coming back soon you know after we went to Whole Foods the Holy Spirit brought us to Cranes Roost Park right down the street and we went there and we walked around as soon as we got there we saw a whole event happening called next step in Orlando and it's a it's a it's a community or it's a it's a nonprofit for people who are paraplegic people who can't walk neurologically they can't walk something with their spine whatever it is and they had this red carpet in the middle of Cranes Roost a short private like the length of these stairs arrest a short red carpet and these people are in these these these these these wheelchairs devices all these things getting there getting picked up and walking can't walk but and everyone's clapping and encouraging them and I'm hearing these testimonies I'm hearing this she was a softball she was she was a softball star with a scholarship on her way back home or on her way back to college from home at 20 years old and gets into a car accident and hasn't walked for the last 12 years but she's still here today walking and everyone's and I'm clapping too but I'm I'm heartbroken another guy has a wife and a child right there cheering him on as he's as he's as he's as he's coming towards them and saying saying that he was basically normal got into a car accident and he can't walk now and I'm hearing all these testimonies thinking in my mind why do Christians complain what are we really complaining about and then I'm thinking bro this life can end like this and I'm looking at them like thank God they're alive they have a chance to hear the

gospel and there's one lady one lady I felt I felt in my heart that she has so much light they said she had brain cancer and got the surgery beat the cancer then it works in the NICU unit as the RN helping babies gets pregnant herself it's about to give birth gets epidural and through that epidural gets paralyzed and can't walk anymore but then afterwards she gives all the glory to God and says for Olympia's for 13 and she's the only one that's smiling she got a and she's the only one of you saw it she looked straight at me from far away and I looked at her and I got there she goes she's the only one with the light on her and we complain and we act like we got 80 million years to go life is but a vapor it's quick it's like this the only reason for living is to glorify Jesus is to know him it's to know him I want everyone to pull out John chapter 17 verse 3 I want you to save this verse I want you to meditate on this verse I'm gonna wrap up this sermon with this verse before we have an altar call John chapter 17 verse 3 and again I want you to save it if you're watching online you save it too if you're watching on the rerun save this verse don't just read it on the projector save it screenshot it copy paste whatever you got to do and you go home and when you're in that when you're just in the secret place or just chilling I want you to continuously read this verse and remember what what's about to be expounded upon how we're gonna break this down the commentary of this verse go ahead Joe read it and this is eternal life that they may know you the only true God in Jesus Christ whom you have sent so what's the eternal life so don't we think that eternal life is to make it to heaven how many people do you know come to Christ to make it to heaven I gotta come to Christ and repent of this cuz I'm trying to go to heaven I ain't trying to go to hell look can God draw you in like that he can but that's not what the scripture says is the whole purpose of eternal life what does eternal mean somebody just yell it out forever never-ending so this is never-ending life so does it stop when we die in these bodies it's forever so when we get to heaven this is the purpose to you think when we get to heaven that's it we're still gonna be getting to know God because he's

infinite but exactly we'll be face to face that intimacy will be different we won't have to go in the secret place anymore and repent and confess and and know it that mirror that shadow no more we're in glory and that's when it's like all this no more no more this now it's okay we're lit now I'm gonna really get to know you I don't have to fast and pray anymore I don't have to worry about prophecies prophecies will cease I don't need a prophetic word from somebody I'm in glory now so what's eternal life that you may know somebody look up the Greek word for know there and what it means you need to learn how to do this if you're reading your Bible you can google it if you're not doing this when you read the scriptures you're not you're not eating you're getting a full course meal and you're taking a little bite and giving it away I Dre he's gonna read what no means in the Greek the word no here is deep experiential relational knowing in the Greek is conosco perfect it's the word conosco and it's a deep experiential knowing so eternal life is to know him and experience him deeply the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent so to know the Father and to know the Son the whole purpose of this walk is to get to know God it's to get to know him deeply and experientially so here on this planet is this a is this a first-person movie about our lives to try to get better are we living every day like this is my time to shine this is my come up I'm gonna make it no that's worldly and the world that was our life that's why we got offended you know why because we couldn't understand how someone can hurt us because we're such an important person my life is so important and you hurt me how dare you I don't forgive you now I gotta make it and I still ask ask people all the time what's the purpose like this a success what a success me I gotta make money and they try to make a real real real cool and say for my family bro for your family how many times did you see that in the world and it wasn't really about that you want to make money so you can give money to your family and so your family could look at you and say you made it because of your money that's not life that's not eternal life that's death it's fleeting why would we even care about getting to know about things that are gonna be destroyed

by fire know the sun is on its last stage we know there's nuclear plants all over the world and even the scriptures most importantly say the world is going to be ended with by fire this whole planet's going to be burnt up the heavens and the earth and there's going to be a new earth a new jerusalem new heavens and we're going to reign and we're going to live here in glory with jesus that's eternal life and you know what's the best thing for the people who are doubting in this building who think i'm crazy and they think that this is some fictitious story you know how i know god is real because now right now in my life i experience him od all the time i'm gonna use od a lot all the time every time i experience him daily regularly y'all see it on video right that's the holy ghost flexing but i see i see god god encounters me more intimately than any video i'm so serious i do the video for his glory so that other people will come to jesus but off camera i experience god so much that i can go through trials that seem indescribable and how you and still glorify god and not just 80 all the way because i experience him oh i know him so when i read the scriptures and it says that this world will be ended with fire i believe it because in this life i experience god manifest himself to me regularly i don't serve a god that i don't know i don't do this for nothing else i know there's a lot of false teachers and churches and you can tell you can feel it even if you're a muslim that they're not doing it for god you can feel it you can go somewhere you just hear someone and be like bro this is all make-believe actor stuff but what happens when you meet somebody who knows god either you come to him or you get convicted and you leave that's what we're called to do as ambassadors is to bring people to jesus or if they decide to leave god they're not coming they're not they're not mad at you they don't want the one that's inside of you they're rejecting jesus that's why jesus said don't worry about it if they reject you they're not rejecting you they're rejecting me don't be offended you're bringing the gospel you're bringing your testimony you're bringing experience you're going all out and they still say i'm good bro i don't want to surrender okay you're rejecting jesus and nobody on judgment day nobody is going to say i didn't have a chance god he's gonna like this show people quickly i show i showed you here here here and every single person is going to be saying that doesn't make it lord lord but but i did works for you though i never knew you depart from me so what's eternal life to know him to experience him to

encounter him and there's so many ways you can get to know him his presence his word his voice encounters and people and church and and and and all the bible baptism all these things that we experience in the kingdom it gives us that joy in the holy ghost right you have that joy you have that assurance where you're like man i can't believe it i'm telling my wife we're going to i don't know why but the holy spirit told me my wife at this point doesn't even she goes amen let's go and it's hot outside and i know she doesn't want to go but she's seen too much not just with me but even what by herself so when we go in a whole encounter happens she leaves and she's smiling saying babe we yeah you we were supposed to be here and it wasn't just that moment it was two other moments that are divine encounters but what i'm saying is like it's like we've experienced this so much this is why we're sold out and i'm going to tell you something for the people in the back you start moving like that where you experience god so much where you're unashamed it's going to offend people it's going to literally offend people and you're going to be like why is this person not like me what did i do to them why are they trying to destroy my name why are they trying to destroy my life what the heck did i do to them it's because the gospel is offensive to those who perish and your life is a living epistle it's a living gospel message for those who know him we praise you jesus so i'm gonna say this this altar again is open for anyone who's just done with religion who's done with compromise who's done with rebellion who's done with just being somebody who doesn't know god that's what this altar is for if you want to surrender to jesus I want to pray real quick. So father in the name of Jesus for everyone in here and online I pray that the Holy Spirit you would touch their heart. You already been moving Touch them right now. They know no fear power love in a sound mind Jesus you died for us publicly so we should surrender to you publicly, too In Jesus name and we all say together Amen, if you want to surrender to God I want you to come up now and we're gonna pray for you you come up here We're gonna we're gonna pray for you and you're gonna encounter the true living God And then everybody online you can just put a one in the chat and even online up man put the camera on me Victor Even if you're watching online, I'm gonna tell you something I have heard countless testimonies Oh, I just got a brother. I just got a text message from my brother Matt Cruz

He said that he's all the way in Indiana preaching out of church and the productions leader came to him and Said hey, I saw you preaching at Pastor Rich's Church Through his ministry. I got saved and count and encountered God online all the way in Indiana And he sends me a selfie picture with him God can encounter you wherever you're at. It doesn't matter if it's online. The Holy Spirit can touch you You be unashamed and just ready undignified in your car at your job at your home Whatever and he's gonna touch you and it's not even through the screen It's Around you because he's omnipresent He doesn't come to the screen. He manifests himself because he's already around you Some of you are encountering God right now He's touching This is the gospel message That God revealed himself to us to the Son Jesus Christ Hallelujah people people coming up. Come on up. Hey, just come up This is why we have these revival services And again, I pray that none of you be false converts, I pray that every single one of you be disciples Lit up on fire for real to serve the Living King Not false converts Converts But true soldiers is This life in Christ easy No It's the hardest thing I ever did in my life But through him it's possible through him I'm strengthened through him I have joy through him I have peace through him. I have the fuel and the ability to keep going even when most people will give up You know how many times people look at me and they say how How

How and I say it's him It's not a religious statement, I'm not just saying this and sound good to people I'm dead serious It's genuinely really him Fueling me with his spirit like a gasoline in a vehicle to keep on going. I don't know how else to explain it in terms It's a spiritual thing It's real The Holy Spirit he wants to fill you even if he's already filled you even if bro You see I like this you come up. I've seen you come up three times. That means you actually care. I Don't care if you come up for the next Ten months every time I don't care But the fact that you're convicted it shows me that you care about you're saved, but you keep coming up. I Don't care it doesn't matter to me This isn't a religious thing where it's like, oh you already came to the altar. No, you can't come up again No, if you want to keep coming up to this altar, I remember when I first got saved. I Remember when my brother pastor Mario There's like five years ago. We would go. I remember we went to this this well-known man of God's Church He was preaching this man that we respect it's evangelists out in Dallas and I remember like we ran to the altar when they did the altar call We're already saved and we just went to the altar. I'm not saying to do this. I'm not saying to do this But we just went up there because we just wanted to encounter Jesus like that crazy Just don't care And I'm not saying you have to do this. Okay, I'm not saying that I don't do that anymore. But what I'm saying is like We just got to have a desire for him man, so I want all you at the front and online to just close your eyes I Want you to say this say Jesus I believe that you're God That you came born of a virgin live the sinless life You gave yourself in To take the full punishment of my sin

You were beaten beyond measure and spiritually took the sins of the world and your body and you didn't deserve it. You died on the cross, you were buried, and you rose from the dead on the third day. Say Jesus, I'm done playing church. I'm done being fake. I surrender everything to you right now. I surrender everything to you right now. All the unforgiveness, all the trauma, all the pain, everything, all the sin, I need you. Your blood wipes me clean. I'm fully forgiven. I'm fully forgiven. Say by the blood of Jesus I am forgiven and I repent and turn to you Jesus. Say fill me with your spirit. Baptize me and your power right now in Jesus name. Stay right there with your eyes closed. I want you to put your hands up in victory. Victor, put the camera on me. Put your hands up in victory and put it there. For everyone in person and online, I'm gonna pray.

Here comes the glory of the Lord He's coming out He's coming out He's coming out He's coming out People get ready Jesus is coming People get ready Jesus is coming People get ready Jesus is coming People get ready Jesus is coming People get ready Jesus is coming Jesus is coming, you won't get ready, Jesus is coming, you won't get ready This is what we're going to do real quick Raise your hand if you have not received the baptism of the Holy Ghost Stay right there if you haven't, you come to the front If you want to receive your prayer language and you want to receive that undoing power Look, I'm going to just be very blunt If you've never spoken in tongues, this is one of the many, many evidences that we see in scripture This is one of the evidences of the baptism of the Holy Spirit If you've never spoken in tongues, come to the front Come to the front now if you've never spoken in tongues I don't got time for religious debating Come to the front That's a lot of people, praise God Oh man, he's about to come like fire

Listen, the scriptures say that when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, the Spirit of God descended upon him like a dove bodily The man who was born of the Spirit, Jesus Christ himself, the fullness of God bodily When he got baptized, the Spirit of God descended upon him and empowered him for ministry The scriptures say that when Jesus rose from the dead, he showed himself onto his disciples He breathed on them and they received the Holy Spirit But then it says that he walked with them and told them to wait to be endued with power There's a feeling of the Holy Spirit when you can say that the born-again experience like all of you at this altar have experienced But then there's an empowerment of the Holy Spirit when the Holy Spirit clothes you in power Just like in water baptism, you get fully immersed by the water In the baptism of the Holy Spirit, when you have that experience, you're fully immersed in the power of the Holy Ghost And Jesus told the disciples to do nothing until they received this empowerment And right after that, they won 3,000 souls to Christ The man who denied Jesus three times won 3,000 souls to Christ And I tell people this, it's by his grace and through our faith If you want it, when we pray, you open up your mouth and pray too Like in the book of Acts, the Spirit of God fell upon them like divided cloven tongues of fire And they all were praying So I want you guys to all open up your mouth When we begin to pray, we're gonna say, the fire of the Holy Ghost And then we're just gonna begin to pray We're gonna begin to pray And prayer warriors, you just start laying hands And for everyone at the front and for everyone online Put the camera back on me And if you're online, you can receive it too where you're at

Look, all you need is faith If you've been raised in religion, break that religious stuff This is biblical This is the empowerment of the Holy Spirit This is why a lot of Christians get saved and they can't overcome temptation It's because they have not received power And when you receive that power that comes upon you, it's a weapon It's weaponry for the kingdom So if you're watching online and you haven't received that, it's your night, it's your time Whether you're watching on the rerun or live So everyone at this altar that's hungry, that wants more of Jesus Put your hands up and close your eyes Put your hands up And I want you to say, Jesus, I believe that the Spirit of God can empower me to be a witness Say, Holy Spirit, baptize me in your fire, in your power When we begin to pray say it when we begin to pray I will pray in faith I will open up my mouth and pray obedience and Jesus name everyone in person just stay right there keep your eyes closed I'm gonna pray this Holy Spirit I pray that when they begin to pray you fall upon them like fire as you empower them to be witnesses to the nation's and the name of Jesus put your hands up everyone in this place we're gonna all pray together on the count of three everyone begin to pray in the spirit with your heart aligned to Jesus three two one go it I love a shake it a rubble shake it a show but I love a shake it a show but I prayer warriors go shakalava everyone this altar rabba-rabba shake it in a dish a yata or shakalavarabba shiata shabba-dabba shake it in a dish open up your mouth and pray don't think about it just pray Oh

open up your mouth to pray come on open up your mouth and pray if you're at this altar if you're in the sanctuary begin to magnify God in your tongues and your prayer language worshippers to come on begin to sing in tongues we're gonna sing in tongues to Jesus begin to sing in tongues to Jesus Oh they're encountering God they're encountering the true living God my Keep praying to the Spirit now Shada kabadda Keep praying to the Spirit now Please keep praying to the Spirit now Please keep praying to the Spirit now you
