Faith in the Fire
When the heat rises, your faith is revealed—not destroyed.
“Faith in the Fire” is a call to stand when everything around you is shaking, to trust God when the flames don’t let up, and to discover that what was meant to break you is actually refining you. This message will ignite boldness, expose fear, and remind you: you don’t burn in the fire—you come out purified, proven, and powerful.

Come on, give it up for King Jesus Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Give it up for the Lord Give it up for the Lord and King Jesus Hallelujah Come on, one time, for one minute Give Him praise, give Him glory One minute, give Him glory One minute, give Him glory, give Him glory Hallelujah, hallelujah Thank you, Jesus, for the glory Hallelujah Church, we're going to enter a time where we're going to take the gospel outside of these four walls Who has seen the video of the box truck? Isn't that crazy? Isn't that crazy? Because the craziest part about that truck that the Lord revealed to me is that that's not just a truck that's going to go out No, that is an altar of God that we're going to take into different regions and we're going to be lifting a heavenly altar in any territory that the Lord wields it And the Lord put this scripture on my heart I want to share a scripture with you guys It's Romans 10, 14 through 15 It says, how then shall they call on Him in whom they do not believe? And how shall they believe in whom who they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? So the Lord is going to send out a preacher to take the gospel to all over the nations And this is something that's going to spark revival This is something that's a one of one that has never been seen before or done ever And millions of souls will be saved because of what is happening And you guys don't even see the half of it Everything that we go through is all the warfare and just trying to get it done But that's because the devil doesn't want it to happen He hates Moves of God and we are in a revival period and there is going to be a mighty move of God that the world has not even seen yet And we as the church We have been burdened to support the move of God. Does that make sense? Because if you believe in God and you believe in the one that God sent and now God is sending again with his spirit men Of God who are gonna preach the word that we have to support what the Holy Spirit is doing in this last hour. Hallelujah So I want to give you guys an opportunity To be blessed because the same reward as the one that gets sent out is the same reward that those that stay back It's the same reward we receive the same reward So you have an opportunity to contribute on to millions of souls being saved and you know How we rock at the rock all we care about is souls and the will of the Father and the will of the Father is for souls to be saved So I'm gonna give you guys an outlet, oh look bomb is right there look at the tank That's the ROC tank. Look at it It's beautiful That is something that's gonna enter into different
Regions and it's gonna tear down strongholds and principalities by the glory that it carries. This is a walking tabernacle. Look at it Look at it For so many years It's been on it's been a vision and something that Apostles been Been been been trying to do with and we've all come together and made this happen. And this is what's happening So you guys have you guys get the first fruit of it to participate into it because once it's sent out and it starts doing We're gonna see all over the internet Millions of people are gonna want to support but you guys get the first fruit of it So look, these are the ways you could give we're gonna put them up And let's bless this let's bless this offering let's bless this Because this is something that is the will of God hallelujah, so every I closed Father right now in the mighty name of Jesus. We thank you That you have given us the grace to be a part of a time like this That we were born for a time like this King Jesus father We thank you Lord that everybody's heart is in one accord in the in the house of God tonight Lord We want to see souls save God. We want to see your kingdom expanded.

days number day three identify an area where fear held you back so what was an area that you declared God's promise over of in my in my business in my brand I'm allowing things to be able to thrive prosper opportunities to open up because that's something I didn't have full belief and faith in and something I did contemplate in terms of its ability to be prolonged so that's where I declared and what promise did you declare over breakthrough opportunity new doors to open up and new connections and all those things along that to be able to advance that purpose amen and day four did you read Mark 11 22 yes what you learned about 22 to 24 22 to 24 honestly I did it while I was what I was serving on that day and I was Saturday so I didn't remember too much of it okay no thank you Pat let's give it up for Pat and for someone who did read Mark 11 20 to 20 22 to 24 who just do we raise their hand and give you some revelation okay so what were those two verses about so um what stood out to me about the verses were not only on the verse that we had to meditate on memorized but this one as well about faith and desires so I wrote in my notebook that it was stood out to me where I told the lord and i thanked him that my desires have changed i used to desire love for a man and a husband but because of my walk and growth my desires have completely changed when i used to pray for those things i was alone even with a partner i forgot or didn't know my true identity but i'm understanding i'm a bride to jesus i'm not alone he has loved me more than anyone in my whole life and i can't even see him i live in love by walking this walk with faith and not by sight second corinthians 5 7 this verse in this season speaks to my assignment in business to reach souls in the business who need spiritual awareness and transformations um i wrote notes from enduring word faith is trust confidence and reliance upon someone who or something and then hebrews one now faith is the substance of all things hoped for in the evidence of things unseen a prayer and faith in god a prayer and faith in god will activate miracles and moving mountains and obstacles amen now give me a testimony amen that's good now give me a testimony for her give me a testimony that happened to you and um for by doing the seven day challenge oh amen so it's crazy because um when i was young i was super good at memorizing but in the world i
lost i felt like i lost that gift so i told god like i want to be a scholar in the spirit like help me get back to identity so the bible verse i i found the strategy on how to do it and remind me when i was young but then i'm in i'm in the books of acts right and i got to acts 11 i'm like dang i can't remember what acts want the chapter the first chapter second chapter so he's like the same way you memorize a verse you don't memorize it just going through it one time you got to read it again remember the first part a little bit then the middle then the end put it all together so i'm gonna let you do this with the verse so i'm like dang you're gonna have me do slow mo in this in this chapter okay so i'm going through it and he said go to enduring word but go to the video so i started listening to david and for the three promises on acts 1 verse 4 let me pull it up real quick so it says and while staying with them he ordered them not to deport and nkjv it says commanded he commanded them not to depart from jerusalem but to wait on the promise of the father so i'm like okay bet so then he goes and david goes do you see how he commanded them because they had to wait and then the lord was just revealing so many things to me he's like now listen a lot of people at my job they were talking about um i was talking about god to them customers and they're like yeah but i don't think i'm gonna be able to change from we you know we just grow from then it's grown from the earth and the holy spirit was revealing to me because david said in the enduring word now when the holy spirit was given it was the holy spirit is not created it's given you have to receive it from heaven so the holy spirit was like now all these people that say oh it's all right to smoke it was it was from the earth it's all right this is from the earth yeah but we no longer the holy spirit was like we no longer belong to the earth the earth belongs to the enemy so as you receive the holy spirit which is the characteristic of god who is pure he needs to change you through there but you have to take it and receive it and if in the weed and the alcohol the the pills anything from this earth like us you know we the flesh belongs to the earth so once we decide that then you have to change it that desires have to change just because something's from the earth yeah god created it but since he created it you know we no longer belong to it we belong to heaven so he gave me that revelation deep and i was just like so i started sharing it with everybody you know after that i started sharing it with the people who kept saying it and they were dead silent like it was like it was crazy that's the revelation i had i want to talk about can we fix it please
i want to talk about everybody say faith faith faith that cannot withstand fire it's not faith it's mere optimism say that again faith that cannot withstand fire it's not faith it's mere optimism many people love talking about faith when things are easy but true faith is tested in faith and fire of trials, persecution, and opposition. Faith is not about avoiding hardship, it's about standing firm in the face of it. When we go through all these things, who do we rely on? Who do we rely on? The Holy Ghost. You, Jesus already fulfills his work to set you free. He redeemed you back to the Father. I learned it from a mighty man of God. The Holy Ghost, he's the one that's gonna take you through that fire. He's the one that's gonna say, hey, are you ready? Let's go. All these things, they don't matter. See, like Job, Job was the most righteous man on earth. Bible says, the most righteous man. But then there was somebody that petitioned against him. Satan, he went up, and before he said anything, you know what God said? And he said, have you considered my faithful servant, Job? So in actuality, God said, you think you could overcome him? And he said, man, he's serving you because you don't let nothing happen to him. He said, bet, do whatever you want to him.
Don't take his life. He's righteous in my eyes because my righteousness is upon him, right? And he started preaching, right? And he started going through trials, looking left and right. Man, what is going on? He never cursed God. But then at the same exact time, God is trying to see what you're gonna do with the faith that he's already put inside of you. He's not gonna put you in a situation that he won't help you to go through it. He gives you the test, and at the same time, he helps you pass it. That's his grace and mercy, just allowing you to know who he is all over again. He wants you to understand that there's nothing that can stand next to him. And haven't you noticed when we go through trials and tribulations, and our faith gets tested, and we're in the brink of giving up, he says, hey, I'm right here. Didn't I say that I won't leave you nor forsake you? I'll never leave your side. Leaving is this, and forsaken is he keeps going and never comes back. He's next to you, inside of you, all around you,
but then we focus on our circumstances rather than in him. We forget to abide in him, even in the fire. Because according to our Bible, because we believe in the same God, right? In Jesus Christ, raise your hand if you believe in Jesus. Hallelujah. According to our Bible, he's a consuming fire. So when I abide in him, he burns out all impurities. He burns out all the things that don't belong to him. He says, oh, this is my precious piece. Neshma, my precious piece. Let me put that diamond through some fire so it can get refined. Because I want it to look the best, the best of the best, Eddie. Let me put this gold through some fire so it can be pure. And that's what Jesus does with us all the time. Your faith is gonna get tested by fire. Being much more precious than gold. The Bible says, much more precious than gold. And that the revelation of Jesus Christ is gonna be honorable, meaning Jesus is gonna say, well done, my good and faithful servant. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Y'all know that Job went through it, right? Went through it, and he never cursed God. So the devil, that was the whole assignment of the devil, right? Satan thought he could get him to curse God. What does that mean, what do y'all think? To curse God. to pretty much say that God, you are like to cause for this. And he, instead of doing that, he cursed his own life. So I believe that it was just simply like turning your back on God because he was so faithful and righteous. It's even like, even his wife said, curse God and die after their children died, right? How many people in here have children? Imagine if all your children died, would you still believe in God? Raise your hand if you still believe in God. Man, oh man, is that a trial, isn't it? We say it now, but like, man, think about it. When you don't have a guy preaching to you about it, you're not in a congregation, you're all alone. Trying to figure out what's going on because are there times where unfortunate circumstances happen because of legal right and because of sin, like willingful iniquity, of course. But what about those times when things are happening, but you're actually walking this walk out for real?
Yeah, I know Job was a righteous man. He even told God that, he's like, he questioned, he said, God, I'm righteous. Why am I going through these things? His own friends, his own friends pretty much cursed him. Told him the reason that you're going through all this is because you must be in sin. To the point where he had to intercede for them later so that they'd be forgiven. He felt abandoned, he questioned God, he expressed deep anguish, but his faithfulness and through all this, do y'all think that Job understood what was going on? Like out of 100%, 100% meaning like he fully understood it. What percentage do you think Job was at in his understanding with what was going on with his life? Zero, not even one, zero. He didn't know what the heck was going on. He's like, man, I'm a righteous man. I'm doing everything right, but then my children die, my land gets taken, my business gets crushed, my wife tells me to curse you and she leaves me, my own friends, my wise counsel, because the men who came and told them those things, they weren't idiots. They were men of wisdom and they were religious men at that. He's getting licked by dogs with boils on the ground. Think about it, he has zero understanding, but he never cursed God. You know what cursing is?
Forget you, God, it's your fault, I hate you. I don't wanna serve you, that's cursing God. He never did that once. Some of you are going through little things and you still curse God and he continues to forgive you by his blood. You don't get what you prayed for. I prayed for this and God didn't answer. So now I'm gonna go worship Allah. Now I'm gonna go back to the world and drink his smoke. God wasn't good enough. That's why we have to have a revelation of God when we come to him and really know the gospel. The gospel is not about changing your circumstances in life to be better. It's actually changing our circumstance, everything in our life to worship him. With everything that we got, saying, God, I give it all to you. It's whatever you want. I'm not sitting here saying it must be this way. I let go of understanding. I ask for your understanding. I let go of worldly wisdom. I ask for your wisdom. I don't want my knowledge anymore. It's your knowledge. Change me, renew my mind, change my life so I could worship you. You have to be like that.
But the minute you think you know everything or you think you know something, you know nothing. Some of y'all are going through things that you're complaining for what? You don't know what the next person's going through and they're not complaining. I'm serious. If you only knew. Look to the right. Do you know what that person's going through? Look to your left. Do you really know what that person's going through? How many people in here are Christian? Now we're all going through something. The minute you exalt your circumstances over God or other people's, you're self-righteous. The minute you think that your circumstances are so important, you lost. The devil won, he got you. We're never supposed to let circumstances dictate how we serve God or what we do for Jesus. That's the faith test. I think a test of faith is gonna be in your face easy. No, it's not. Every season, it's gonna be hard. It's gonna get to a point where you don't understand it. You go to your pastor, Pastor Joel, they're gonna get to a point where they say, look, we don't know. Can you accept that?
There's no one plus one equals two. It's just Jesus. Worship him. Go through this season and let the Lord reveal it. Can you wait? until he reveals it, or does your life mean that much to you? The Bible says that we'll overcome them by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony, right, book of Revelation, talking about end times, and we won't love our life unto death. They wouldn't love their life unto death. Are you gonna love your life, or are you gonna just let it go until you die and go to heaven? Your life has to be meaningless to you without Jesus. Do you understand? Not in a suicidal way, but in a way of worship and reverence. God, I don't care what I go through, I still love you. That's the test, bro, sis. What you're going through, are you able to still worship him, praise him, and do his will through that fire? Those are the ones who get exalted by God. Are you still gonna praise him? Are you still gonna worship him? You wanna be used by God, it takes death. You have to die to everything. Some of you don't need deliverance, you just need to let go of yourself.
That's good, that's good. I'm so serious, because there's people in here, they're blaming it on demons, bro. Why, why are you blaming the demon when it's you? It's you, you still love your life. But I like this about my life, I don't wanna let it go. I like this, though. I got anxiety, you got anxiety because you're still worried about what's going on in your life, you're trying to figure it out. That's why you got anxiety. The minute you say Jesus, I know I don't understand what is going on right now in my life, but you're everything. I take my care in my heart, because you know what it feels like to care, right? You know what it feels like, right, in your heart when you care? And you just go, God, here, and it goes away. Do y'all know how to do that? I'm gonna try to explain it one more time, then I'll let Pastor Jewell continue. You know when you care about something, it's almost like a pressure. Y'all hear me in the back? Danny, Ari, Nishma, Briggs, y'all hear me back there? Listen, you know when you care about something, it's like a pressure, and it just keeps running through your mind, and you feel it in your heart? Every night you go and seek God, and every morning,
you're supposed to give those things to God in his presence, and he's supposed to release you from that yoke, that burden. Take my yoke, it's easy. You know, that's saying, God, I don't know what the heck is going on, but I trust you enough, because do you really believe he's sovereign? Do you really believe he's all-powerful? Do you really believe, because if an all-powerful God is handling your situation, you won. It's a matter of time, right? No one, no clapping, no clapping. Listen, it's a matter of time. You understand? Two, three months, a year, two, three years, 10 years. David suffered for 10 years. Who's seen that movie, David, it's amazing. I saw the three episodes, powerful. He suffered for 10 years. He didn't know it was gonna be 10 years. David wasn't like, my suffering's gonna be 10 years, and I'm just gonna live out the Bible. The Bible wasn't even written. He didn't know there was gonna be even a text called Bible. He didn't even know there was gonna be pens and typewriters and computers and phones. The man just lived by faith, because God already showed him in the wilderness who he was, he revealed himself to David.
When the lion and the bear and all these things came at David, and he overcame them by the power of God, he had all the testimony he needed. So when he stood before Goliath, it wasn't about the stone, it wasn't about his strength, it was about his trust in God. You understand? Do you have a testimony? Has God brought you out of things? If you're saved, you should. At that born again experience, you got the greatest testimony. You received the Holy Ghost. Now if you're still wondering if you're saved or not, tonight you need to give your life to Jesus. But if you know you're saved and you know you've encountered his presence and goodness, what else do you need? Go through that fire and remember what he did for you, regardless of what happens. Whether it's the way you think it's gonna happen or a completely different way, it doesn't matter. God, you're everything and I'm willing to go through it for you. That's faith. There's people in here that need to repent. You need to repent of being selfish and caring about yourself so much. If that's you, I want you to stand up
and we're gonna pray. Stand up. You know if it's you. Come to the altar, actually. Come to the altar and get your deliverance. ♪♪♪ Praise the King. Look at this. This is real deliverance. Dying to yourself and letting go. Ain't no demon gonna come out. Don't you start false manifesting up here. Don't start screaming to try to scream. Scream away your problems. I know when I see a real demonic manifestation and when it's fake. Whenever you see someone continuously doing the same manifestation, it's not a demon, it's them. They think they can scream away their, oh, I can scream this feeling. No, you gotta die. Internal scream. Nick, come here. I want you to pray for them. Are you going through a season of dying right now? Cool. Amen. Heavenly Father, I just thank you, God, for an opportunity to come before you and surrender. Surrender our circumstances and live in a place
where we trust your word more than what we see. When we trust your character, your heart, and our relationship with you, more than what we're going through, more than our bills, more than our debt, more than our trauma, more than our backstabbing, more than our hurt, more than all the things that we can physically see in our flesh. Lord, I pray that you would take these, each and every one of these people that came here in repentance and show them a deeper revelation of what it means to lean into your promise, lean into who you are, and that they will find freedom in dying to themselves. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen, amen. Everyone, I want you to just take your care from your heart, go like this. Put your hand on your heart if you're in the front. I want you to think about that thing you were caring about so much. You know what, say it out loud. Say what it is. Say it out loud. What do you care about? What's been bothering you that you haven't let go? Tell Jesus. I don't hear nobody speaking. Come on, say it.
Say it. And now I want you to just, after you say it, just say, Jesus, here you go, handle it. Give it to him. Literally, remove it from your heart. Prophetic act, symbolic, and just place it in his hands. Now I want you to take a deep breath in. Now breathe out and let it go. It's done. It's handled. That's it. The greatest deliverance you'll ever experience. Amen? Now you may be seated, hallelujah. That's the greatest deliverance. I kind of want to add on to what you were saying, Apostle, because like, so faith, faith is supposed to be a response to our circumstance. So every time we're faced with something, we have to die to it and have faith, right? And I had a crazy situation happen yesterday. I feel led to share. Turn my mic up just a little bit. But I was, I got home from the gym and I was taking a shower and I told my wife, hey, can you make sure the door was locked? I'm not sure if I locked the door when I came in. And she gets up and she goes to make sure the door was locked. It was locked.
But then she checked if my son was in his bed and he wasn't there. So she starts like freaking out. Like she runs into the room. She's like, babe, Joshua's not in the car. He's not in that, she can't even talk. Joshua, Joshua. She starts running around the house and then looking, looking, looking. And then she runs outside and it's like this whole thing. And I'm in the shower and like, I'm meditating on this faith through the fire. I'm meditating, like all day I've been meditating on just the concept of what it means to respond to tragedy or tribulation or adversity with faith. And she comes in the bathroom again, like why haven't you got out? And I'm just processing every emotion in my mind right now. And I'm like, wow. I was like, okay, well, if he's not there, that means that he must've been gone for a long time because I got home, I didn't see him. I locked the door. I'm like, man, is it legal right in my life? Like, I'm thinking all these things. Like, I'm like, wow. And then I was just like, you know what? If I lost my son right now, I'm like, God, I will still serve you. And like, it was a rush.
But you see how it had to be a response. I was like, I could freak out right now. I could, there's so many things running through. Like, I'm like, man, Yashua, like I just think of him as like a little baby. And I'm just like, all these emotions are stirred within me. And I was like, but God, like, you're good. I'm just, all of these, and I'm like, you know what? It's okay, I'll still serve you, God. And I got out the shower and I walk outside and she found him, he was sleeping somewhere and he wasn't supposed to be sleeping. He fell asleep somewhere else, like on the floor. Like, I like, and I'm like, and I laugh because I was like, that was a test. Like, that was a test of my faith. Like, I'm literally thinking about this and just meditating on everything. And it's just like, your faith has to be a response to what you go through, because look at this, your mind, right, based off of what you go through is programmed to respond. So every single, based off of your own events in your life and whatever fears you have, because it's fear, you respond. Like my wife, normal mother, right? That's just, my child's not well, my child's. I'm supposed to be reaction, freak out, right? That's the way your mind is programmed, right? The reason why your faith gets tested by fire
is because the only way to increase in faith is when it's tested. You have an opportunity to, instead of reacting the way you always reacted, to reprogram your mind and react in faith. So now your mind is simply going, now when another situation occurs, that's probably greater than the one you just went through, your mind naturally is, instead of freaking out, like default freak out mode, like it's supposed to, you respond in faith. So that's why we have, Bible says to do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So instead of it being programmed the way you were growing up, God says, no, I want you to live by faith, not by sight. And by walking in faith, you're going to renew your mind. Like literally, like you could even look it up, like it's called like what neuroplasticity. It's the part of the mind that literally is, it's your reactions, but you can program your reactions instead of reacting to move in faith. Isn't that crazy? So check this out. So your mind, right? It's called, I'll explain it again. So in your mind, naturally, right?
It's called neuroplasticity, right? It's when your mind responds. So like, for example, you put something scary in front of a baby, naturally, they're going to respond in fear. Whenever you get placed in a situation that triggers memory from what you've already been through, you're going to react the same way. That's why somebody that has, let's say, for example, like bitterness towards a person, they're going to lash out in anger or be very offended all the time with any little thing you say, right? Because that's naturally, they're just like, it's just a reaction. Why did I react that way? I don't even know, but it's because this triggered my mind to default, meaning go back to its normal state of reaction. That's how your mind works, right? But then when you, God, when you're not, because you know that faith in itself, I love faith because the mind doesn't understand faith. The mind lives in the realm of the five senses. So anything that's real, that's why a lot of people have unbelief is because they still live in the realm of the mind, which is the five senses. They only believe in what they can smell, touch, feel, taste.
That's the only thing that's real to them. Faith is a gift and also it is a fruit of the spirit because you literally have to, God has to grant you faith because faith come by hearing and hearing of the word of God. So when you hear the word being preached by the preacher, you're imparted faith to believe because naturally in your mind, you cannot believe on your own. Your mind doesn't understand faith, right? So your mind is programmed to react in a certain way. But when God gives you faith, and then now that faith that you have needs to be tested, but it must be tested by fire because whenever it's tested, it gives you an opportunity to increase in faith. There's no other way to increase in faith, but through fire. There's no other way. You say, father, give me more faith. Oh, that's a dangerous prayer because you're telling God, God put me through fire because by me going through this fire, it gives my mind because it's all about your mind. Like you're gonna learn in this walk, you gotta get healing from things that have been put in the subconscious of your mind. That's a whole different sermon, but you know what I'm saying. So we have to be tested by fire
because it gives your mind an opportunity to instead of reacting in fear, reacting in lust, reacting in anger, you react in faith. So like what I went through, like I had an opportunity, like man, my son, like my only son, I have two daughters and one son, and I couldn't, like, he's not where he's supposed to be. I could have just freaked out with my wife, but I had a choice. And in that choice, I responded in faith. I said, God, you know what? I believe he's somewhere, but even if he's not, I will still worship you. And literally as soon as I stepped out, she's like, you know, kind of embarrassed because she found him, but it's okay. That's what normal people do. But it was the Lord ministering to my heart and showing me the Bible in real life. Amen. So faith that is never tested. So faith that is never tested is faith that cannot be trusted. I'm gonna say that again. Faith that can never be tested is faith that can never be trusted. First Peter 1.7, I love this verse. It says, these trials will show that your faith is genuine.
It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold. Though your faith is far more precious than mere gold You know why because gold is the currency in the world, but faith is the currency in the kingdom So in order to access the things of the kingdom it takes faith Hebrew says that Without faith, it is impossible to please him right back You said it. It's impossible to please God. You must know that he is When you come before him you must have faith because faith is a literal key It's a currency in the kingdom of heaven You know, one thing I found out about gold is that gold is purified through fire. We know this but Gold nowadays is plated right? You got gold plated stuff. You got you mix it with silver, right? Because what it expands it it makes it more but it actually depletes in value Same thing with your faith. There's a lot of people that They will compromise their faith Right because they don't want to be pure to find strength But check this out because gold does become stronger when you mix it with silver, but you know what it doesn't do It doesn't stop corruption So faith so gold that's been purified is not going to corrode and it's not going to decay according to Allos But gold that has been compromised will corrode and be corrupted over time Isn't that crazy? But the Bible the Bible is crazy So you must be tested That's what I was speaking to a member today. And I said your faith is being tested glory be to God Because you have an opportunity right now To stand on everything you prayed for because we'd be in the secret place and we all do this father Lord, I'll do anything for you Father give me the faith Lord father. Oh like you just so zealous and it's so good But then he's like son, do you daughter? Do you understand the cost of the things that you're asking for? Because now you have to die
That means I have to live by no sight of what I understand I must live by the understanding of God's understanding which I can't even understand that means I have to go through this life not knowing what I'm literally doing because the whole time I'm stepping in faith and Humans, but we just love to be in control We feel we get anxiety we get fear. We I just want to be I just want to know that everything's gonna be okay right a Phone a family member or loved ones in the hospital. You just want to know they're okay. That's your peace but the reason why you're supposed to Respond in faith is because the world needs to see that your peace comes from Jesus not from circumstances We're not called to live a life of luxury and All this no, we're called to glorify God and everything that we do So when something traumatic is happening in your life, you're supposed to have peace so that when people see your piece They're like, how do you say it's Jesus? My peace doesn't come from my circumstance. My peace comes from the prince of peace Look at this James 1 2 through 3. It says my brethren Counted all joy that when you fall into various trials Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience And you know that word patience you could actually translate that patience to endurance so And you know that word patience you could actually translate that patience to endurance so that your faith No, no, it says the testing of your faith produces endurance You see this patience is not patience like what you would think right patience is like what I'm at a doctor's office I have to be patient because I gotta wait a long time That's not the patience that James is talking about James is talking about a patience like the patience of a man That's running a marathon He has to have a different type of patience
It's patience of a man that's holding extreme weight and is not looking to escape. He's looking to endure Now that is the patience that James is talking about The only way that this patience is produced is to have dependency on God So he says brethren Count it all joy when you go through these things because God is putting you through these things so you could depend more on him The more you go through it the more you depend on him and this dependence that you have on God is gonna produce your endurance Because I was telling the man of God it was like yesterday. I'm like man. This is not a race Enjoy this man. Enjoy your time. Enjoy what you're going through and if you're going through praise God man Stop trying to finish Stop trying to run to the end of the race because there is no end We're in a marathon We have to endure the only way that a good person that runs in a marathon is he who is able to sustain as Consistency that's how you win in a marathon done. You train for longevity. You don't train for a sprint. And that's what the Lord is calling believers to live in patience. Yeah, man, I just want to say that's powerful because as Pastor Carter was talking about asking those dangerous prayers, man, that the Holy Spirit gave me a crazy good word. And he's like, you don't you don't know what you're asking for, but I'm willing to request it. So we talked about honor a couple weeks ago and how you come before a king, you have to bring a gift. But when you request something from a king, you also get have to give something up. And that gifting has to be sacrificial. And what you bring before a gift before the king, that gift is your life. With Jesus is everything you got. Everything. And as you go through it, it's like, it's like an onion. The closer you get, the more layers you have to take off. The mask have to come off, shirt, everything. You have to be vulnerable before the Lord. No more of you. And when that tries to come up, you have you have to take it off and say, Lord, here's me. That's a living sacrifice. We sing that song all the time. A living sacrifice. But you have to be nothing before a king. I just want to share that with you. Amen. How many of y'all been feeling discouraged lately? Crazy. So I'll tell you the key to overcoming discouragement. How many of y'all want to know the weapon? So it's it's a battle of atmospheres. Y'all hearing me? Atmospheres. Everyone say atmospheres. Please listen to
this. Okay, someone stand up and tell me what an atmosphere is. There's no microphone, just out loud. What is an atmosphere? Nobody knows what an atmosphere is. Are you kidding me? Give me an example. Very good. Now give me like a physical atmosphere. Example. Humidity. That's good. Thank you, brother. Thank you. What were you gonna say, Pat? Area or space of your own. So right now, if I was smoking a cigarette in front of a bar, and you walk by evangelizing, would you be entering the atmosphere of the cigarette smoke? Right? How do you know? Smell it, right? It's a physical atmosphere, right? Now there's spiritual atmospheres. Y'all understand this, right? This is the key, bro. Catch this by the spirit of anything. Catch this because it'll be a weapon. So you ever realize how you're in peace and everything's cool, you walk into an area, all of a sudden your mind starts getting attacked. Now half of you in here are like, yeah, it happens, but you're not even conscious of it. You legitimately think that these thoughts that are coming to your mind are actually like they're beneficial or they're good things to meditate on. You know you're meditating when you start thinking about these things, right? You know everybody's meditating on something throughout the day. Can you just walk around without meditating? That's a zombie, right? Everyone's met, like when you're walking down, especially with that, wait, what do you think these phones are trying to do? It's trying to get you to meditate on things that are not of God, right? So when you're walking around, you're meditating on something, right? You ever get, like think about society now. Who's been in New York City, right? People like rats in a rat race out there. Everyone's walking super fast or like they would say OD fast, right? Everyone's walking fast, right? Everyone's gangster looking at you. Even the shortest, scrawniest person ready to look like they're ready to fight, right? But everyone's on a mission. You would think that, man, what are you about to go do? Take over the world, bro? Like when I first went to New York, I was like, man, what the heck is going on? What's wrong with these people? I'm from Florida. Like I'm looking at people like, what's up, bro? People are like cutting me off. Hurry up. I'm like, dang, bro, what's wrong with y'all? You know, like I remember that I had and what I had to do was I had to start walking like them, talking like them, looking like them in order to fit in. But the atmosphere is what controls your day. So when you go out and you are getting attacked with these atmospheres to the point where it's too powerful, it means you weren't in the presence of God
like you should have been. Because just like the world carries atmospheres, we carry atmospheres. We carry an atmosphere that has attributes, right? Peace, joy, love. How many of y'all ever been around family members and friends that are not saved and they just get attracted to you? They're just like, man, I don't know what it is about you that you ever heard that I don't know what it is about you I just they just open up you ever had those people that anointing of influence where people just open up and tell you everything and They don't even know why they're doing it and they're just like I don't know why I'm telling you all this That's an atmosphere that you carry. It's an actual grace in your life Where God can use that for like there's people that use it for the devil, but there's people that use it for God So an atmosphere is what you're carrying around you just think about it like an old like an orb around you like a Like a like like like smoke vapor around you and the realm of the spirit the angels and demons can see this You know, I know Why not? I'm gonna be real. Can I be transparent? so in the world, I Did a lot of bad evil things Right, but there's one time I'll never forget. I entered the realm of the spirit illegally Illegally off LSD and I'll never forget. Where's my blood brother? Is he here right now? I think he was here earlier stand up I did LSD with him, right? I was with him. Is Dro here? Probably not. I did that. Remember we did LSD My brother's the one that convinced me everyone raise your hand Alex He's saved now though. Thank you, Jesus Thank you Alex, thank you So he was the one that was because I was wild back then bro. I was Doing very bad things that I wouldn't even talk about over online right now and my brother who loves me so much I think he was like 20 or 20 or 19 at the time and here in dro Him and drove you guys know dro they were in Gainesville and they were like and I was in New Jersey Wilding out doing crazy things and my brother was so concerned for me He was like bro, you need to do something because man, you're wild you're gonna get killed or arrested. I've been doing LSD I've been micro dosing taking LSD, but you should try it. It's gonna open up your mind But he but he actually had the right heart
Cuz he cared Cuz I was crazy. I really was I was like, I bet let's do it came out to Gainesville got drunk the night before remember that You didn't even get drunk with me. I don't think he even drank that night. But anyways, we went to the woods Y'all know Jenny Springs We went out to the woods Jenny Springs at night and I remember we he gave me the little tab Pop the tab. I Was like man, this is gonna be stupid. I Took a molly, you know smoke a lot of dope dumper pills drink But I remember when I entered the spirit realm illegally like you get that joy in the beginning you start laughing and then it hits I started freaking out Because I was in a realm and it was real I was in the physical but in the spiritual realm illegally and I remember looking at people and I could see Spirits on them that were different colors No cap, no exaggeration and I remember being like and he remembers because he remember that was wilding out Well, he doesn't know as I was actually seeing in the spirit realm what was going on So and I it was a whole experience. It wasn't good at all It didn't open up my mind. I became a vegetarian for a year and a half after that I don't know why but didn't do anything. I try to guess and he convinced me of that too You gotta be a vegan He saved now, thank you Jesus, right whoo And now he eats pork but listen I Know seers prophets your prophets that can see in the realm of the spirit Some of you here are here probably a seer prophet and you have that gift to wear at it Sometimes the Holy Ghost will show you what's happening in the realm of the spirit. You can even smell Your deliverance will break out and you'll start smelling smoke That sense where you can smell in the spirit that's real I've experienced this and the first time I experienced it it freaked me out
I'm that guy when it happens I freak out like I'm that guy that yo, this is really this I Never forget that it was 43 or 4 years ago Evangelizing and this woman had her there anointing and she's telling me about the anointing to smell in the spirit I'm like crazy and then she's telling me and Deacon Kevin. He was there He's my witness and she's like you smell that and I'm like, I don't smell nothing. I smell cinnamon. I'm like, what the heck? And I'm looking at it. What's your what's your perfume at? Like I'm look for real I was trying to look around and then the scent started shifting and she was like, this is the smell of heaven There's a smell of this and I'm like, but I'm freaking out I am freaking out like I'm like, yo, this is real because God allowed me to see that it's real And it's an actual gift. It's a gift in the spirit. Some of y'all are thinking is he serious? I don't care. Don't ever come back here again. If you don't want this is real the Bible talks about sense about smelling right like our prayers are an incense to God and If we're made in his image and likeness and get filled with him inside of us You don't think that God can open up our spiritual senses, too So in the spirit you can see things and when you have the atmosphere of God The scent of God because you've been in his presence and glory. You don't think demons tremble and they flee You don't think that you come into Atmospheres and shifted You become a glory carrier to where you can go into a botanical You can go to a witchcraft store You can go to a Muslim mosque and not be shifted because you're in the glory. It's not because of you It's because of the one who goes before you what it would think about this. What did Moses say? Don't send me unless your presence goes what before me The Bible calls the Holy Ghost the spirit of faith The spirit of faith is the Holy Ghost When he sent before you things will happen anywhere he wants I was at that mystic arts witchcraft festival in the glory of God The entire time telling pastor Benji. I don't know why but I feel God's presence strong When there's a whole bunch of witches and warlocks doing rituals in front of me
the Hindu temple We just went to me and Deacon Berea and worshiping and praising God the whole way there in the car in front of the Hindu Temple we walked in there high off the Holy Ghost with no worries. You think I was freaking out Oh God I'm gonna get hit by the spirit of witchcraft spirits come in read the Bible These spirits can't some of you are so focused on witchcraft spirits instead of God's spirit And that's why you're opening up the door to get torn up Just to add on to that real quick I was just talking to them about this We got to understand and what he was saying what he's saying just now. It's a principle. Everybody say principle a Principle it's not a concept a Concept is a general idea or understanding something Meaning you have knowledge of it you like. Oh, okay, but a principle is a fundamental truth or Law that governs action and the Bible scriptures that back this up the just Shall live by faith. It's a commandment of Jesus Christ You must live by faith Thou shalt not kill murder, right He commands you to not do that. He commands you to live by faith and faith alone Powerful is true what he said is a print principles a fundamental truth It's not something where you could be like well, I believe in it. So now it's a principle but for the Muslim It's not a principle. No, it's a principle that even a Muslim can abide by to have success in the realm of the spirit What do you think these get-rich-quick books and how to get money books? They take biblical principles teach worldly people and then they make a bunch of money when the kingdom of God is broke This is the Bible This is the Word of God You got I've been seeing videos of worldly people Manifesting saying things over and over for their healing and getting healed By their faith, they're literally healed because they're created in God's image and likeness But it's a demonic spirit that they're accessing that gives them that false healing but then takes their soul But then we have access to the highest power who not only heals us and makes us whole but anoints us to go make others
Whole and heal them as well. You see this is there's a difference your faith. Can your faith accesses spiritual things? You understand this your faith accesses spiritual things What you believe in means everything So the devil what is he gonna try to do feed your lies? Because if you believe in the doctrines of devils what does doctrine mean a Teaching a way of thinking Y'all think doctrines of devils means a false prophet on a where the microphone teaching you the by like a false Bible No, it doesn't say doctrines of false prophets doctrines of devils Seducing spirits and the last days many will give heed to doctrines of devils and seducing spirits So when you believe something that goes against the Word of God You are getting seduced by a demon believing that doctrine and because you put your faith in it it manifests Isn't that crazy So the whole battle for this walk is faith and it's what you put your faith in and everybody has to have faith How beautiful is that? That's why the Word of God is essential That's why we got to keep our mind and our eyes and our ears and not your physical only as And I'm talking about your spiritual eyes your spiritual ears Spiritual eyes with an s right eyes of understanding book of Ephesians spiritual ears Jesus Do you have ears to hear on the Word of God listen to the Word of God constantly? So when you're going through that mental battle, you pull out the Word of God you meditate on it You get in God's presence and you fight And then that atmosphere that you're in that was tormenting you mentally now shifts You cannot shift that atmosphere with the things you used to do in the world You go back to the vape you lost you're gonna get tested again Even when you come to church and you repent praise God the blood washes you you're going to get tested again You're gonna get tested again Test it again with the same thing in a different way, or even the same way. Because in Christ, you cannot stay stagnant. It's only up. There's nobody in Christ who's stagnant. Either you're going up, or you're going down.
And like Pastor Carlos said, there's a lot of gold-plated Christians, fake faith-plated Christians, that will tell you they believe, but their fruit shows otherwise, and it's capped. And when time goes by, and the weather hits it, it all gets corroded. And becomes rusty. And you can't make it to heaven unless you got that real faith. And it's the faith of a mustard seed. It's a little. Do you believe? So that situation you're going through, what in God's word can you declare over it the promise to say, God, yes, this is happening, but your word says this, and every single day, don't clap, every single day, you declare the word of God over it, you pray, and you praise, and you scream, and you say, God, I believe. This is the real gospel. I believe, God. I believe. Your mind's telling you otherwise. I believe, I believe, until it shifts. Boom, you're back on point. You ever realize that? There's days where you're on point, and there's days where you're getting attacked. What are you going to put your faith in? Because what you put your faith in is going to be the product. Everyone that falls into sin, it's a lack of faith. I don't care about the sin you committed. I'm looking at what root is there that caused you to get to this point. Why did you go to the alcohol? Why did you go to the porn? What offended you? Was it your mother, your father, your friends? What happened? And then you get to the root, and they're like, oh, I didn't think about that. Yeah. No wonder the devil's having a field day with you because you don't know the word. My people will die for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4, 6. Y'all see why it's important to get in that word? To eat it up, hunger and desire it, thirst for it, because that's the only way you're going to succeed on this walk. Do y'all want to be gold-plated Christians or real Christians? This church is a church that we really step for real, and I'm not boasting in us, I'm boasting in Christ. We really are doing this because we're going through things behind the scenes, guys.
If y'all knew what we were going through, you'd be like, oh gosh, I respect you. No, I don't want you to respect me because of what I'm going through. That's pity. I want you to seek God the way I seek God, and go through your tests, and shift that atmosphere to carry the glory. So even when you're going through something people can't tell, and they look at you and say, how? How? Who? And you lead them to Jesus. Does that make sense? How many are encouraged now to read that word? Last thing I'm gonna say before y'all continue, every time we preach the unadulterated truth, people don't like it and they get up. Good. I'm so serious. It makes, when I start seeing that happen, I know it's the truth being put out into the atmosphere. That's when I'm like, okay, it's getting, it's getting good. Because it's not a truth that everyone wants to follow. People don't want to hear this type of message. They'll say it's not encouraging. Yes, it is. This isn't about us anymore, guys. We don't come to Christ to get better in our life. No, we come to die. For real. I guess that's being radical, right? Y'all see the evangelism videos and all that, right? That's all the fruit of what, of death, of situations I've been put in. They evangelize the same way. They just don't, they don't got it on video like that yet. They move in power too. They move in words and all that. Probably better than me. But they do it because they, they, they seek God. They have a relationship with God. They go through the fires. They're, they're young, but they still know, they know God is real, and they just keep on going. What were you saying in the back, Pastor Carlos? I think it was what you were saying. Once you get through it, that's when you shoot up. You got to get through it and shoot up. It's true. I've noticed that. Talk about that. Yeah. Let's talk about Abraham, because that's, that's really where I learned it from is Abraham in Genesis 22. God promised Abraham a son,
and then asked him to sacrifice his son. Abraham was tested, but because he obeyed, became the father of faith. Many people fail their faith test because they refuse to let go what God is asking them to trust Him with. So the revelation I caught with Abraham is that if you actually read Hebrews 11, I think it's like Hebrews 11 and 17. It says, it explains what, what Abraham, why he did it. The Bible says that he was willing to sacrifice his son because he had faith that God would resurrect him. Isn't that crazy? Go read Hebrews 11. So, so Abraham wasn't being obedient to be obedient. He was having faith and already living in promise. He was like, man, God, I'm going to be obedient to you because you told me to do it, God. I just got faith that you're going to raise my son from the dead. So he was being obedient. Simply because he had faith so he was already living in promise a lot of us need to start living in the promises of God Because the faith in the promise is what gives you the doors out of the adversity That's literally how you access it is by having faith like God like you know apostle you always say it you're like it's already done We're just walking in it Abraham had faith. He's like you know what my son's already dead Because you asked for him. He's already dead God. He's already yours and by having that faith and obedience he accessed the promise And then the closing statement is Faith must be tested to be trusted God allows trials to prove the depths of our faith Faith is not real faith until it has survived the fire Amen you got a survivor man by abiding in the vine That's the only way you're gonna be able to survive the fire Too many of us are striving Striving I got it Trying to figure out the the pieces how to overcome this trial rather be like
Man, that's the that's the Messiah That's him. I gotta follow him. I gotta follow him Man, I'm following him is he'll take you through some trick some crazy trails Not trying trails Sometimes you gotta run When it's raining Sometimes you gotta walk while there's a tornado right in front of you Sometimes you gotta do some suicides in the middle of a tanks fighting each other But then in the middle of all of that there's like a orb around you Zechariah 2 5 and I will be a wall of fire and the glory in the midst. That's what the Bible says Yeah, I just seen it by you as you're saying that so when we ask for something when we pray for something, right? Somebody give me something you're praying for just quick Family salvation. Okay. So let's say pastor Carlos is praying for his sister salvation. You just declared war You just declared war you just said I'm going to war so now as you're going through that war right a battle Right, isn't a battle gonna come with fights and then you're pushing forward the enemy's pushing pushing towards you That's the battle of faith. And but that's the time where you fight So that the time when you're supposed to be going the hardest is actually through the storm It's through the battle because that's how you get the victory, but it can't be a battle if everything is just fine and dandy There's a time for rest right think about soldiers in war There's a time when they're home with their spouses resting, but is that battle? No, they're resting but there's a time for war and when there's a time for war it's time to fight And it's the good fight of faith not against demons not against the world and not against the flesh It's the fight of faith the world the demons and the flesh want to take your faith from you That's the whole parable of the sower is to take that seed through trials through tribulations through Unfortunate circumstances if the devil can take the seed of the gospel from your heart through things that are not right Through your heart through things in life. That means you never believe like you're supposed to believe So you can come to the altar and give your life to Jesus but just best believe there's sweetness in his presence There's joy. There's love and it's beautiful, but you're gonna go through an actual war You're gonna fight like a good soldier. Are you willing to endure hardships? The Bible says enduring hardship like a good soldier
Like Pastor Carlos said endure Hardships And you know, you know what God allows to you know, what he likes to permit the thing that you don't want to go through Because it can't be hard unless it is So he knows what you like the most He knows that thing that's kind of is an idol in your life. He knows what to allow to happen to you Till so you can release it to him so he can handle it. We got to dedicate, you know, we dedicate our children We got to dedicate everything to Jesus So right now in your mind if you're thinking about something that you're like, man I just couldn't deal with that if that happened best believe if you don't give it to Jesus It'll be on the devil's list You felt that in your heart He has grace and mercy it's not gonna be like tomorrow what I'm saying is plan Revelation not tribulation, right? So give it to the Lord go in a secret place I put myself in situations and you can call me weird if you want I put myself in situations in prayer where I'm like, I'll be talking to God and I'm like If it did happen like Job or my whole family was taken from me everything would I still where I said God I still would worship you and if you know right now that in my heart, I'm not even ready for that that to the point where I wouldn't worship you, I pray that your grace would empower me to get to that point to where I would. I send prayers to the future to wait for me. I pray and say, God, send grace, send peace, send joy to the future. And then sometimes I go through things, I can see that the Holy Ghost will quicken me and show me a prayer from years ago that I prayed for that very moment that stopped that attack from dismantling something. Because God operates outside of time and space.
And aren't we created in his image and light? And some of y'all gonna be like, oh, that's weird. Okay, you're not spiritual, just being honest. That's crazy because I was just about to talk about that. Peter, I pray that your faith would not what? Sift you like wheat. Jesus prayed to the future so that when he denied him three times, he wouldn't end up like Judas and kill himself. This is biblical. That's why we gotta pray. This is a war, it's a war, this is real. This is real for the new people in Christ. This is a real fight, be encouraged. It's amazing. What other purpose do you have in life anyways? Do you want real or do you want the fake facade in the world and barely make it to heaven in your deathbed, you want that? What's the world gonna offer you? It's getting worse and worse. You can go to the world and hopefully you make it, hopefully something happens where you give your life to Jesus and then you die and go to heaven. And then you're gonna get to heaven and realize my whole life I didn't do anything. My whole life I did nothing. I could have been fighting the good fight of faith. So the fact that we're all in this atmosphere right now with this revelation and this presence,
bro, it's a gift, don't take church for granted. We come out here, we give our blood, we give everything we got every Tuesday and Saturday. We're going through things, we got things going on in our life, we still come up here and we preach with a passion because we love y'all. We love y'all, so listen. Thank you. You know, by following these principles, we're actually abiding in the gospel of the kingdom that Jesus was preaching to the Jews. He says, I'm preaching, here's the good news of the kingdom. The kingdom, the good news of the kingdom, not the good news of salvation, the goodness of the kingdom, because they knew about God. They knew about him, but he's like, let me refine you, let me help you. So right now what's happening is a refinement of your understanding of the principle of faith. The principle of faith, Allah and the spirit. God will not promote a faith that has not been purified. Isaiah 48, 10, behold, I have refined you, refined, but not as silver. I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. Everybody say affliction. Job 23, 10, but he knows the way that I take. But when he has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. I shall come forth as gold.
Say, I shall come out as gold. Fire doesn't destroy pure gold, it refines it by removing impurities. The same is true for our faith. Just like the three Hebrew boys, they were about to get thrown in the furnace and what ended up happening? He said, hey, I'm not gonna bow down to that fake statue, that fake God of yours, we're not gonna do that. Either you throw us and we get burnt and we die or God is gonna save us. But regardless, I'm not gonna worship that thing. I'm gonna stand 10 toes on what God said. And this is what these men of God are saying. Regardless of your situation, I'm not bound down to Satan. I'm not down, as a matter of fact, I'm not bound down to myself, my desires, what I want. You know what's crazy, Apostle Toole? You said something very, very important that I wanted to touch on myself, right? This is gonna, God made you in the image and likeness, in his image and likeness. When things happen, Pastor Carlos, a lot of us, why God, why did you allow this to happen? But what if I tell you in the Garden of Eden, we kicked God out, why? Why do I say this? I know that's not what the Bible says, but I'm gonna say this, because he gave you dominion over the whole entire earth.
So we kick God out of our life and then we ask why. When he wants to walk with us and what he created. He wants to help you plant trees. He wants to help you grow and expand. But we kick him out. Why God? Why? Doesn't matter why. We ruined the earth. So we have to suffer the consequences. And wasn't everything good? Everything was good. So when things are good we get complacent and try to be like God. So when things are good. Can I be real though? Be real. I don't care what people want to think. When things are going too good bro, I start getting actually start getting prideful. I have to actually talk to God about that. This is two years ago when I was in Polk City. I'll never forget. Things were going good and I was like, I started getting prideful. It's like I started like exalting myself and my heart and I was like what the heck is this? I don't want it. I started praying and asking God to remove it. I actually asked God for trials. I was like God put me through a trial something. Because that's how we stay low. And it's in preparation for where we're going next. Like we have to go through this now so when we get to heaven bro like there's no more of it. And if God already says that in the future like when heaven comes down to earth there will be no more of it. That means those who will be in the kingdom of heaven have gotten to that point of understanding to work like to where they are able to live with free will in the New Jerusalem. And it's not like not sin that that's that. Because we're going back to the garden. Think about that. Like Adam and Eve right? In the garden. They were in their glorified bodies right? Like how were they before the fall? They walked with God. Aren't we going back to that? So Adam and Eve fell in the garden. So won't we have the free will to even choose the fall even in the New Jerusalem? But we won't because because we know we went through this life and we're gonna always remember how much this sucked. But also how much he revealed himself to us. We wanted to know good and evil. That's what they said. Now they're like us and they know good and evil. Take them out the garden before they eat from the tree of life and have everlasting life in that state. Saved us, threw us out so we wouldn't be in that state of condemnation for eternity. And now we got a now this is this is great a
second opportunity. We were like oh I hate my life. It's like yeah life does but thank you Jesus that we get the opportunity. Because we could be like the third of the angels that were cast out of heaven burning in the lake. They don't get no chance to repent. They already had a revelation of God that Adam and Eve didn't have. So they had no, that was it. They couldn't, there was no repentance. The lake of fire was not created for us. It was created for them. So that God doesn't send nobody to the lake bro. Some people think here oh God sends people to hell. I hear people podcasters who shouldn't be podcasting about Jesus. Oh God sends people to hell. No he doesn't. People send themselves, they choose hell. They choose Satan. They choose what a third of the angels in heaven chose. Imagine we get to heaven and a third of humanity fell. Wouldn't that be crazy? A third and a third? I don't know. That's just my opinion or just a thought. It's crazy because it's like like the scriptures say it's the genuineness of the faith. So it's like if you're not willing to go through the suffering then do you even really love God? Because like last night while we went out to the gym I evangelized to this dude. You know he had a crystal on. Is he here? He's probably not here. But he had a crystal on man and I just asked him like why you got that on? He didn't even know why he had it on. He was just wearing it because somebody gave it to him. I explained what it was. Took it off of him. It was good and I was like man you got a light on you bro. He's like yeah like his dad was pastor. He was saved. His whole family saved and I'm like dang but what happened? He was like his dad died and on his dad's deathbed like they were all praying and fasting and and hoping for a miracle and the miracle didn't happen. And then later he departed from the faith. So I was like it's gotta so he's so intricate right because all these things just it all ties together. Everything I went through that whole night and it's just like God is showing me like you see like if you if this goes unchecked. This is for everybody here and anybody that listens to this later. The unbelief. The lack of faith. The lack of willingness to go through things. If if your heart doesn't get checked in that area inevitably one day you will fall
from the faith. Because he had a light on him. He played basketball good. Like he was like man he had a light. I'm like man I'm like what's what happened? It was because God didn't do what he wanted. What God what he thought God was supposed to do. He didn't do it. And his reality was different from his expectations. We can't live for God with expectations because it's going to mess up the reality of God. We just got to, God I serve you because I serve you because I love you. The Bible says it's the goodness of God that brings you to repentance. It should be his goodness alone. That's it. God, you are so good. God, you are so faithful. God, you did all this for me. God, you still love me and you still like that goodness is when he said that will keep you broken. Not whatever you go through because man, all this is going to stop one day and you're going to stand before him. I just want to say, I want to leave this with this right here. Who knows about the Beatitudes? Blessed are those, right? Blessed. And it starts off with being poor in spirit. And blessed are those who mourn for they be comforted, meek because they're going to inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be consoled of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you and falsely for my sake. But if I tell you this is a whole buildup, this is a whole entire buildup. You can't be pure in heart without being poor in spirit first. You can't be meek without mourning. You can't hunger for, you can't, you can't be hungry and thirsty for righteousness. If you number one are poor in spirit, this is a whole entire blueprint a whole entire blueprint on how to expand his kingdom and move in faith. And on top of that when you move like that you'll be blessed a hundred times fold, a million times fold, whatever God wants to. And it all takes faith because how do you know, how do you know that you're going to be pure in heart? You know how? By just going to him, just go. Like David created me a clean heart Lord God because I know my heart is wicked without you. Created me a clean heart, refine me Lord, refine me. But then
he didn't back down from the refinement, the fire. When that fire is in front of you, don't look away, when that fire is in front of you, don't look away, just run. Put your head down, focus on Jesus and run through it. Sooner or later you ain't even gonna realize that you still in the fire. You're still in the fire and you like look up, oh snap, I'm not even being touched. I'm not even being burnt, I don't smell like fire. Wow, it's you Holy Ghost, it's you Jesus and you just gonna keep walking. As you're saying this, the last thing I want to say before we wrap it up, it's crazy Pastor Joe was talking about being poor in spirit and being poor in spirit is like it's poverty right, in the spirit like it's knowing that in your own might and strength you can't achieve this. Does this make sense? I really want people to understand this because this is key too, it's knowing again that you cannot achieve it, you cannot do it without asking God for help and it's like it just kept running through my mind, this prayer I prayed that I've never told anybody, I never even told my wife this and the Lord told me to repent before all of you because it was gonna, it was gonna break chains off of me and help y'all. I've been through a lot of stuff since I've been in Christ right but the one thing I always pray to God about, I've prayed it before and I never told anybody this, God I'm willing to go through anything that you want me to go through, just don't take my kids but I'm giving up that idol today, I'm giving them to God fully in my heart and I want prayer. The leadership could come and lay hands on me. So Father right now in the mighty name of Jesus. Jesus, Lord, we just thank you for Apostle, Lord. We thank you for his humility, Father. We thank you, Lord God, that he's putting down the idol, Lord God. He's releasing his kids, Father. He's releasing Jeremiah, Lord. He's releasing Richard. He's releasing Salah, Grace, Father. He's releasing even the baby in the belly, Father, to you, Lord.
Father, we just thank you for the strength, Lord. The strength, Father God. God, he's gonna love you no matter what. Give him the strength, God. Give him the grace. Give him more knowledge, more wisdom, more understanding, Father God, of your love so he may increase in love, so he may increase in the image of Jesus, Father, to be more in your likeness, to be more in your image, God. Thank you, Father God, Lord God, that you've strengthened him to go through everything he goes through, God. And I pray for more strength, God, to continue to endure, Lord Jesus. Father, give him your heart, God, so that everything that he desires be what you desire, Lord. Thank you, Father, that he guides us, he teaches us, he sacrifices, he labors in prayer, Lord. We just thank you. We're so grateful for this mighty man of God, Lord. We love him. We love him, God. We love him. Thank you. In Jesus' name, when the church says together. Amen.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Let's give it up for Jesus, man. Jesus. And look, that being said, this is Jesus showing you that he's real. If you are coming to Jesus tonight, or you departed from the faith, and you weren't believing, but you wanted to see if Jesus was real in this church, he's real. He runs this church.
He orchestrates everything, puts it together, and we just execute because he's the blueprint. It's his kingdom, man. It's his church. He really died on the cross, was buried, rose on the third day, shed his blood to forgive you, to wash you, to redeem you, and to send you back to the Father to be in relationship with him. If you just believe with a mustard seed of faith, just that, that, that much, just a little bit, he really walked this earth. He was sinless, and because he was sinless, his blood washes you. He fills you with the Holy Spirit. All you have to do is just come in repentance. Repentance means a change of mind, change of lifestyle. Leave your whole lifestyle away, let it go, and you surrender to his kingdom, to his ways of living that lead you to righteousness, right standing with God, holiness consecrated to him, to him and him alone, and then you'll start to experience agape, love, self-sacrifice. You'll start to experience a peace that surpasses understanding. That means a peace that you can't fathom. You won't understand, you're going through things, and you just don't know how you're so calm. You'll start to experience so many things, his goodness,
and tonight's the night. Tonight's the night to give your life to Christ. There's no more waiting. If you were thinking like, man, I don't know when, tonight, stop thinking right now. He has so much in store for you, you don't even know. That being said, I want everybody to just close your eyes, and I know the Holy Spirit is tugging on your heart even tonight, right now, this very second, to come to him, give your life to him, and be changed, be transformed, and to do his will. If that's you, I want you to raise your hand. Just raise your hand, come on, come on up, man. Come on up, and if there's more people, just come up. If there's more people, come up, just come up, don't even worry about it, raise your hand. And everybody online, put a one in the chat. Tonight's the night. Tonight's the night to walk this out, to start walking this out. Hallelujah. What's up, my brother, what's your name? Giovanni, that's what's up, man, nice to meet you, man. Anybody else? Come on. Thank you, Holy Ghost. what's your name? what is it? Jada. Jada? nice to meet you. amen. anybody else? nobody online? amen. let's give it up for Jesus. say this, you've been through a lot. you've been rejected. you've been belittled, bullied, whatever. but I tell you this,
Jesus will never bully you. he would never reject you. he's never rejected you. he's gonna show you deep levels of his love. who's experienced that? raise your hand. look around. y'all moved in faith? open up your heart. filled you with his love? that's the same thing he's gonna do with you. he shows no partiality. they ain't better than you. ain't nobody here better than you. we are all equal. just just assignments. that's it. that's a pastoral. that's the Apostle. just assignments. equal in love or all of us? that's why Jesus died for the whole entire world, everybody. make sense? I'm gonna say this, you don't have to do anything to earn his love. he already showed you by laying down his life. there's no greater love than this, than to lay down your life for your friend. you know what he says? he calls you friend. he don't even call you a servant anymore. he just says you're my friend, my daughter, my son. seriously. you believe that? and then on top of that, on top of that, you coming to him, giving your life to Christ. I always say this man, heavens is rejoicing. they're throwing a whole entire party. can we throw a party for them right now? come on, everybody stand up. let's give it up for Jesus because this is, hallelujah, hallelujah. six-year-old online, let's give it up for them too. hallelujah. thank you, Lord. what if I tell you, that's, that's, this right, this rejoicing for you guys being saved, it's not even a fraction of what's going on in heaven. not even. not even a percent. they turning up. hey, Jada's back. hey, that's how they are, turning up. amen. so it's time for repentance in your heart, right? so I just want you guys to relax. don't be stiff, Jada. we here, we family. we family. by the blood. amen. so just, just repeat after me. don't repeat after me, just because you're repeating after me, mean it in your heart.

My feet, that's like the biggest bummer. I mean, I still consider myself kind of young to be having feet problems. I'm 26 years old and I still consider myself a baby.

Yes, yes. Right. I do not abide by the philosophy in this world that we, you know, just get old and decrepit. No, no. Amen. What's the pain level in your feet right now? It's pretty severe.

My knee. Well, it sometimes feels like it's just twisted and I have to move around to get it popped back into like a place or alignment. And then my feet. Normally when I'm like at the gym and like on a treadmill, it more so hurts like after the gym. So it's not too much right now. But I can still feel it. Your knee and your feet. What is it? Like a 4 now, I guess. Okay. Monique, come on. Monique, pray for her and command all the pain to go.
On both her knees and her feet. Amen. What's your name, my brother? Vincent. Nice to meet you. What's going on? I've had surgery on most of my major joints, but I keep re-tearing them. Last MRI I got, I re-tore this. This just completely rolls in and out of socket. Which caused this to get irritated. And this hip is starting to get irritated again. It's a mess, but that's what it is. Okay. And what's the pain level? My favorite thing to do is work out. I can barely do anything. It's usually when I'm active that it starts to irritate it. So if I walk for a long time, I'll be like ah. Or if I start to do something, it'll start to get a little welled up. Okay. Amen. Joseph, come here. I want to pray in the name of Jesus that everything be restored. All the ligaments, all the joints, everything. And I believe that in the name of Jesus it will. Do you? Amen. Come on. And nothing is shifting you. Praise God. Woman of God, what's your name?

Come walk around. How does it feel? You want to do a lunge?
Come on, dude. It's okay. We're good. Come on. Pray for her knee to be healed. Go. Right there. Just command it. That's it. You don't got to do a lot. Just tell it to go. Come on. In the name of Jesus, we declare perfection in her knee, for the way that she was born in the name of Jesus. Amen. How's it feel now? Like a little ting. It feels like tingling a little bit on my knee. A little more? Yeah. That tingling? You know who that is? Yeah. Everybody say the Holy Ghost. You are healed. How are you feeling? From a 7 to a what?

And then, see? So sometimes we are going to pray. And pray over and over again. By faith. Amen. You know it's going to happen. Ready? Just a minute to go. You don't even have to touch her. Her feet.

All I wanted to do is just dance around and worship and I couldn't move my leg and I haven't jumped and I don't even, I don't even know how long, I'm in so disbelief right now. You're in disbelief? No. You're in belief. Jesus, man. What happened, John? You feel like you get straightened out a little bit more? It's definitely straighter because it used to be here and then she did it twice and it went straighter, straighter, straighter. Because before it was like this and now it's here. What?

And she is fully healed right now. This elbow will straighten in Jesus' name.
Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. How's it feel? It's almost there. Oof. I'm believing for more. I'm believing to really straighten out in the name of Jesus. How do you feel? Come on. Hallelujah. Touch the Holy Ghost. Yeah. How you feel, my brother? I feel a little better. Feel a little better? Yeah, feel a little better. From what? From a six, four, three?

Come on. In the name of Jesus Christ, we command the pain

And I twisted my foot. You twisted your foot? And I'm hurt. What's the pain level on your left foot? On my left foot, yeah. And what's the pain level? Like 10. It's nagging inside. It's nagging. I already know that feeling. Playing basketball, twisting my ankles all the time. Yeah, one of them tight things.
All right. Dig in to Jaylen. Come on. Josh Ray, come on. Right here. Right there. Excuse me, bud. Right there. Go ahead. Go ahead. Hands on the ankle. Right there. Anybody else need prayer for healing? Physical healing? How's it feel, Miss Beasley? Wait, now, let me see. No pain. Wait, a little bit. But something I can deal with is it's gone. Woo! Let go.

Hallelujah. No pain. No pain. Hallelujah. Long time for this. Oh, God. I've been hurting a long time with that, too. No pain. No pain at all. Praise the Lord. Miss Beasley, just like the Bible says, just like the Bible says, it was none of us. Your faith in the Messiah has made you whole. Amen. Amen. I just want to testify with this miracle. You know, there was three lepers. Or ten lepers, sorry. There was ten lepers. They had leprosy and they went before the Messiah. They bowed down, right? They got healed, but one came back and was whole. One came back and was whole, meaning it never came back. It never came back. You know, you know, leprosy was a very, very dangerous thing to be around, too. But she came, that one, that one person came back and praised the Lord. So I encourage those who got healed. Praise him. Give him praise and glory. Amen. Hallelujah. And I want to open up the floor to one more thing that the Holy Spirit has put in my heart. I know we're just praising and we're joyful. Hallelujah for testifying. But I want to open up the floor and even online, too, even online, too. The Holy Spirit is putting in my heart that there's people in here that have bitterness and unforgiveness to certain people in their life. Whether they were from childhood to recently, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. God is a God of forgiveness. And whatever happens to you, whatever has happened to you. God didn't intend it. He didn't want that to happen to you. But we do live in a wicked world. We live in it. Like Pastor Carlo says. Through him, through Jesus, we can endure. We can endure pain just like Jesus did. The whips, the lashes, the scoffing.
If you are who you say you are, why don't you take yourself off that cross? Imagine that your creation talking to you like that. I would even dare. But guess what I did in my past life. So if that's you, I want you to come up. And you will know that that's you as the Holy Spirit is just tugging on you. Bringing up even right now, thoughts and memories. Just showing you. Come on. Come on. This is a part of your walk. Your fight of faith. Look, I know there's people that have in the past, even in this room. And I'm going to say this. Even servants in this house. Serving faithfully. That when they first came, they released. That they were molested. Raped. Played with. All types of things, man. Crazy things. And I'm going to say this. Crazy things. Crazy things. This is your time to let it go. There's testimonies all around this room, man. And in this time, just. Just be real with God. Just be real. There's not a specific prayer that I can say you have. or say you have you say just be real just close your eyes focus on the lord because he loves you he cares for you and this care that you have cast it onto him just let it go put your hand in your chest and your heart and grab it and just say lord i i just give it to you

What did you just experience by releasing unforgiveness and bitterness? I felt his love. What else? I just felt a lot of warmth and it felt very true. I was like, I don't know, I guess I wasn't sure if I had something to release, but I kind of felt like you were saying with the thoughts and memories and stuff, so I was like, all right, I'll just go up there. And then I did and yeah, it just felt very like, like true and raw and like an encounter with the Holy Spirit, which I felt before, but it was like, okay, yeah, I felt this before in a different context, so. He wants this for the rest of your life. Our life is deeper levels, deeper, deeper levels of this that you just encountered. He wants this every day, every day.
So for those who possibly didn't come up because you just feel nervous, whatever the case may be, you just didn't want to be seen, I'll tell you what, go to your prayer closet tonight and release, let it go. Have this woman of God that just testified. She experienced and encountered the Holy Spirit in a different way tonight, amen. By releasing bitterness and unforgiveness, amen. Look, more repent, hallelujah, what did you encounter by releasing bitterness and unforgiveness? Sorry, you're putting me on the spot. It's okay. I guess like just peace with God and myself and like me forgiving those people, cause I have love for a lot of the people that I've had like bitterness and anger toward. And I guess like, not guess, like it's restoring some of the pain and hurt that they put inside of me and it's able for me to like be able to love them fully again, so. Isn't that amazing? And for those who say, will God allow it anyways? No, why would He heal you then? He never wanted that. You see, that's how much He loves you. You have so much love to give out even though people are doing wrong to you. If I tell you, that's a reflection of Christ. He's actually been talking to me about that. I feel like, like, I've been feeling like,
well, I've been looking at what everybody else has been doing in my life and how it's been hurting me. But then like, I've been reflecting on my own self and what I've been doing to Christ and it's been putting me in my place, you know. That's a revelation, boy. You better preach that. God bless you. Amen. So I just want us to pray. We're going to close it out. I just want everybody to just put both of your hands over your heart. And I want you to really focus on Jesus. Focus on your Lord, our Lord, our King, our Savior, our friend. God, I just thank you for tonight. Thank you for bringing us in here and speaking into us through the mighty man of God, Apostle and Pastor Carlos. And thank you for using me, Lord, as a voice to release what you want to speak to your people and even us. Thank you for conviction, transformation, Holy Spirit. Thank you so much. Thank you for the freedom that you caused inside your people tonight. Thank you for guiding them, Lord, to release in bitterness and unforgiveness. Thank you for allowing them to encounter your love once again, your presence, your power.
Thank you for your grace, Lord. Thank you, Lord. And I pray that you may give them a fire, a fire and a desire. The Bible says in Philippians 2.13, that it is you who give us the will and to do your good pleasure. God, give them the will, give us the will and the to do, the good pleasure. Thank you, Father, to seek your face above all. Forget the works that follows our faith. Lord, let us seek your face. Let us seek your face, God. Thank you, Lord. We bless you, we honor you, God, above all. We exalt you. Thank you, Jesus. In Jesus' name, in the church that's together. Amen, hallelujah. Let's give it up for Jesus one more time. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. And family, at this time, if you just need prayer for anything, just.
