Pursuit Night | Pastors John Gray & Q. Gadson

all right Acts chapter 12 I'm at the fifth verse we're gonna do something a little different tonight we'll do something a little different tonight cuz um let me ask who's Rick you're in charge of security and all of that we we have a security system here do we have a security system on this campus we do okay how many people have a security system at your house why do you have a security system at your house so nobody can what you don't want anybody to break in what if God wanted to break in he don't have to she said he don't have to break in well that might be the case but sometimes you're so caught up behind enemy lines that God has to do something supernatural to get you out if there's anything that means God to supernaturally come get you then what I have to say right now is for you now here's the thing you can have security you can have it at your house but if it's not connected the alarm could go off but nobody's coming see y'all forget worship is not just a sound of adoration it's also sounding the alarm there are certain sounds that my child makes that I know oh they're having fun okay now that's a little different but then there's another sound I know they're in trouble and I stop what I'm doing and I go see about them are there any parents in here sometimes you got to break through there are moments when you take territory and then there are moments when God will go through enemy territory to come get you help me Holy Ghost this man named Peter y'all know Peter upon this rock I'll build my church revelation Peter cut the ear off of Malchus Peter denied Jesus three times Peter fishing in the middle of the night early morning Peter catch nothing Peter walk on water Peter about to drown five seconds later Peter Peter who was cut off from Jesus because he denied him three times no chance of reconciliation Peter wept bitterly Peter about to probably commit suicide like Judas Peter then Jesus restores him on the shores with an early morning breakfast fish bread and deliverance that Peter everybody say that Peter I find that Peter in the book of Acts he's a troublemaker now he got restored by Jesus and just start going off he was doing things that were so crazy they said he was unusual unusual he was doing miracle miracles he was unusual but he offended some people in high places and they said we gotta kill him it's very dangerous to try to kill what God is blessed [Applause] Peter was kept in prison but it wasn't a regular prison pastor DeMarcus it was it was a prison prison Acts chapter 12 verse 5 Peter was therefore kept in prison but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church look at somebody tell me you got power no you didn't mean it you don't you don't you don't believe it you need to look at somebody tell her you got power you heard people talk about I'm praying for you oh it's the least I could do no prayer is the most you can do you can't do better than prayer the best thing you can do is pray you see me in trouble pray for me you see me struggling pray for me if you feel the enemy come and pray for me oh please pray for me I need your prayers keep me in prayer we I miss the days of prayer meeting I thought it was boring when I was little but God knows I wish I had about seven mothers that knew how to pray they didn't have microphones they didn't have nothing but the basement of the church but they would pray from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Oh Tuesday evening and I mean God wouldn't meet them I wish the Bible says constant prayer was offered to him which means prayer is not an option in this season of your life I'm getting ready to do something real weird so just just stay with me tell somebody stay with him stay with him Herod was about to bring him out they were about to kill him you a Disco's everybody say this close I don't know if you know it but you were this close and God said no some of you might be sitting there in Pride or watching them prior talking but it's never me you don't know how close you were but God moved the car out the way you don't know how close you were he kept the plane in the air you don't know how close you were you think you snore know that sleep apnea the enemy's trying to take your life and God kept you breathing through the night you need to think of it you took too much medicine you smoke too much weed that night it was laced with something you put your drink down somebody put something in it but God covered you you need to thank him you were this close I wish I could talk to some people that were this close boot up with the wrong one you were this close now years later they sick and can't get well but you still living you need to thank God you weren't better than them God just favored you you were this close I wish I had some help for some people that were this close Herod was about to bring him net he was going killing the next day you less than 24 hours away day they got you they this done you are in prison is over and of all the things Peter does as he goes to sleep they was gonna kill me the next day I'd be up all night I'll be like you play too much I was serving you you could have just left me died a long time you got to let her chop my head off at the front all of these people I never understood why Peter went to sleep until I realized how much he had been through when you have history with God it's pastor Anderson on Sunday when it looks like you about to die you like where they're gonna kill me I might as well get a good night's sleep cuz something in me says even though that's their plan I don't think that's the Father's plan and I don't think Jesus is finished with me so I'm gonna go ahead and get some sleep till somebody gets some sleep but he wasn't sleep free he was bound with two chains between two soldiers and there were guards outside the door and behold an angel of the Lord stood by him and the light shone in prison and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up and said get up fool and his chains fell off his hands let's freeze right here there were people he was sleep he had two guards next to him bound two guards outside and that's just his part of the prison there were other guards God sent an angel to get past all of them God broke in to break him out I need you to know God broke in and he's about to break into that area of your life to break you out I don't care how many chains are on you I don't care how many people are around you he's about to break in to break you out they think they got all the angles covered but God's about to break in to break you out you're gonna get free from that addiction you're gonna get free from that relationship you're gonna get free from that place that has held you hostage the angel said put your clothes on and your sandals put on your garment and follow me then Peters following me Bible says he's groggy he thinks he's dreaming you could read it long story short he goes past all the guards he goes past the wall he's outside the wall all of a sudden he wakes up and realizes it's not a dream I'm I'm actually free tell somebody it was all a dream I need you to understand guys about to hit you with with a with a with a dream deliverance it's gonna look like you were you couldn't listen to me you could not dream up what he's about to do we have a security system at the house and also it has a chime when a door opens I just want you to know God is about to open the door when you hear the sound don't don't get worried that's God coming in to see about you by the time Peter gets to the door where he's supposed to go the people who were praying for him was so shocked and in a second you can sit down but watch this they were so shocked they didn't believe it was him the little girl who open the door say hey that man I was praying for he's outside maybe like girl hush hey robot son gotta buy shop Oh God come on here Jesus loose here devil let him go yeah aunty what the man you talkin about how I'm praying maybe God will save him you say about son CC oh god don't let him die you doing all of that and the thing you asked for is at the door I'm only talking to faith people let's pursue tonight I might not do this on Sunday it's for suit night my time is already up how did that angel wake him up and not his enemies I need you to know God's gonna speak something to you right next to folks they won't hear what you hear and see what you see and by the time they get up it'll be too late you'll already be free I don't care what he said you're not staying in that relationship forever God's about to free you you ain't gotta live in fear to no man you can make you and your kids are about to live free I bind that spirit of fear in the name of Jesus tell somebody knock not the reason I'm curious is because how do you break into a secure place to get somebody else unless you got an access code that nobody else has pastor Q I wish I could say it like I need to but there's a lot of people that have security in the house because of fear but I feel like fear needs to bow down tonight because you're not supposed to be afraid of anything because you have an access code but I don't feel like I'm the one to take it from here I need a tag team so pastor Q Gatson of the believers house could you come up here and take this thing to the next level I need y'all to make some noise for the tag team pastor Q let's go I'm at a weird place because I'm at a place right now where I'm convinced that when it comes to true blessings that God wants you to have if it doesn't make you afraid it's not God that if every blessing every blessing you have a plan for and you're comfortable with and you're calm when it concerns it I'm at a place where I don't believe it's God and so is there anybody in here that God has showed you something and it terrifies you woke you up in the middle of the night okay he sent me to you because Pastor John wants to cover this from all ends so I'm going to tell you what your security code is a judge's seven verse 9 says and it came to pass the same night that the Lord said unto Him arise get thee down and to the hosts if I have delivered it until then hand but if thou fear say fear to go down go thou with fewer thy servant down to the host and thou shalt hear what they say and afterwards shall thy hands be strengthened to go down in the whole she may be seated the songwriter J levonne Kapur wrote the song what God has for me it is for me that every prophecy every finance every health every anointing every blessing that what God has for you it is for you but unfortunately we've overlooked the fact that what God has for you is for you but somebody else wants your stuff [Applause] see see and this is the concept that we have to keep in mind because when you don't understand this it'll cause you to move certain ways concerning the blessing of God what am I saying there's a thing called being familiar with the prophecy of God that when you don't get it and you keep saying it at some point you get used to seeing it but what God spoke for you to have is so big and so vast and so great and so beautiful somebody else they want your stuff now somebody don't believe this so help me teach them a little bit touch your neighbor and say somebody wants your stuff yeah don't get too comfortable with your wife keep in mind somebody else they want your stuff don't don't take those finances for granted keep in mind somebody else they want your stuff and saying this is the thing that we have to keep in mind God knows okay I'll give you Bible this is why God told them in the Mosaic law don't covet what belongs to another man he said that because what God spoke for you to have is a beautiful thing it's a big thing it's a large thing it's a vast thing and even though you're going to sleep at the wheel I'm here to remind you that's somebody else they want your stuff and the thing I love about God is God has created a security code for me that that was safe that God would drop my blessing in is fear wait pastor Q what's up with your theology nothing's wrong with mine what's up with yours I'm clear of second Timothy one in seven where it says God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind and it helps us understand that fear is a demon it's a spirit that's coming to infiltrate you it's coming to take over your mind and coming to take over your spirit and coming to rob you of sleep and coming to take your appetite and before I go forward let me ask you have you ever wrestled with fear have fear ever kept you up all night have fear made sleep run for you while you was chasing it have fear kept you from eating your favorite meal see I don't want to talk to someone who just had a little pity party I want to talk to somebody who's wrestling with the demonic presence of fear when fear scratches at your window and and scratches at your door and and you're afraid to go to sleep and it's not because you had an argument it's because the demonic presence of fear have come to take over you same but the thing that you have to understand is that it is possible to have fear and the demonic presence not still being you walk with me see you have to understand that when you are full of the Holy Spirit two spirits cannot rest in the same body therefore if the Spirit of God and you know of the spirit could rest in you are y'all still with me therefore the question is then if I do not have the demon of fear why am I still afraid I'm gonna tell you what it is it's your flesh see you have to be clear that even though it's not in you it's possible for it to still be on you see you must understand that even though God has filled you with the Holy Spirit and he saved your soul he ain't touch your flesh and in the New Testament the Bible says that flesh is in war with the spirit in fact it said that it's enmity with the spirit what means what the spirit want the flesh wants to take are y'all still with me and so they are in a war where the Spirit says go and take it and the flesh said I don't feel like it where the spirit said what God said is yours and the flesh said it might not happen where the spirit said God spoke a thing and it shall be the way God said it will be and your flesh says I'm not gonna believe it until I until I see it and so the spirit is in the fight with the flesh and I have to ask you before I go forward do you know at times that there's a war in the inside of you that you are one body but sometimes you could be split into two where in one moment you speak in God but in another moment you speak and out where in one moment you're speaking prophetic but in another moment you're speaking or y'all still with me and so you have to be clear about how they fight each other when it comes to the spirit the Bible says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they are mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds stop so let's talk flesh flesh fight the spirit with fear what if it don't happen you getting married don't nobody want you like that you gonna start you a business what if his grand opening and grand closing in the same week you annoying it don't know buy one listen to what you got to say God's gifted you to sing how about you sit down at home see this is the rustle between the two this is the fight between the two that Oh God this is why I love Paul cuz Paul says when I would do good evil is always present with me and that that I would do I do not and that that I would not I would do Oh wretched man that I am Who Shall deliver me which means I'm one man but I got two things resting in the inside of me and on one hand I have a god thing but but on the other hand I have a doubt thing on the other hand I have hope but on the other hand I have fear on one hand I say I'm gonna win and on the other hand I can't even go to sleep and what I love about God because the question is why did you drop my blessing in fear because I'm afraid of what you suppose over me and so this is why God sent me to you tonight to tell you why God dropped your greatness in fear it's because nine times out of 10 whenever someone get afraid they do one thing and the answer is run touch your neighbor and say don't run I'm telling you not to run because it's in your running that you will abort your blessing I'm telling you not to run because it's in your running that you will lose out on your security code you must understand that God dropped your blessing in the safe of fear but the security code to get it open is to feel the fear and go anyway now some people didn't get it but touch your neighbor and say go anyway I know you're afraid to start the business but go anyway I know you're afraid to get healed from cancer but get healed anyway I know you're afraid to start the family but start it anyway I know you're afraid to see if you are waiting for God to take fear before you move you're gonna miss your blessing because when God take your blessing out of fear he makes it open for any and everybody to get it and what separates you from anybody else is you are willing to pay a price for your fear you are willing to walk past your fear you are willing to see it and not stop is there anybody in here that tests a cell and say I won't stop it means other people will run but I won't stop it means other people will quit but I won't stop and mean other people will throw in the towel but I will not stop I will not stop until I get my hands on the thing that God's hopes for me - for me - for me to have and so your security code is if you could feel the fear and do it anyway some of you didn't catch it so let me give you the book the text that we read if we go a chapter before it starts out with talking about Gideon Gideon was in the winepress first thing we'd the Bible says that the angel of the Lord came and set up under the oak tree and this is an interesting text because it's almost as if the angel GPS was messed up because if God sent the angel with an answer to Gideon and Gideon's is in the basement why did the angel go up onto the oak tree the answer to this is God will sing your blessing to the place that he expects for you to be what you are not understanding is God isn't blessing you not because he hasn't blessed you it's because you are in the wrong place now touch your neighbor and say get into the right place you perfect is not the problem you know in 50 people is not the problem you not having a million followers is not the problem your problem is you need to get to the right [Applause] didn't get to the right place and so the angel of the Lord went to the place where Gideon was supposed to be and the angel say he don't know he is let me go to where he's at I'll leave it alone and so he went into the basement we're get in was first and wheat and any old school person knows that you don't Thresh wheat in basements you do it in the wide open so that the wind could separate the shaft but when you are afraid fear will make sense out of a dumb thing because he was afraid it made sense for him to thrust sweet in the basement and I want to stop and ask you have you ever made sense out of a dumb thing a stupid thing but you made sense out of it not because you didn't know no better but because you are in because you were in fear and so God told them who he was he said you hiding but you are a mighty man of Valor and that's interesting because God told him who he was while his reality said that God was a lie stick with me how is it that he is a mighty man of Valor but he hiding in a basement any true man of Valor will go stand in the wide open so that when the Midianites will come and fight he wouldn't meet them head-on but here he is hiding and God spoke to him and God told him that your reality is not your prophecy and I want to tell some of you that your reality is not your prophecy that you are living it now but what God spoke over you come to bed touch yourself and say I won't stay here I won't stay here I'm scraping up money but I won't stay here I'm fighting with my spouse but I won't stay here I'm dealing with health problems but I won't stay here I'm trying to fear out who I can bring clothes and who to push away but I will not [Music] I will not stay here and so get in receive what God spoke walked out of the basement came and stood out in the open so that everybody could see him and then he tells the angel I need to do a sacrifice so that I know is real and so that he laid a lamb and laid cakes and the Bible says in the angel stretched out his hand and it lit on fire and the angel of the Lord disappeared and if you keep reading the Bible says he started talking about doing fleece talk to God asking God for more signs and knitting it funny how you can ask God for a sign and he answered and then you ask him for more science God show me is you okay give me two more show me that you are speaking to me okay I heard you whisper it in the other ear [Applause] so so he received it and now God has to bless him because his life needs to look like what God spoke over him and this is why you have to be blessed because your life have to catch up with what God spoke over you this is why God will open up the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that you will not have room enough to receive and it's not to make you so grand but it's because your life has to look like what God spoke over you now now now touch yourself instead speak to your life and say look like me yeah I need my finances to look like me I need my health to look like me I need my friends to look like me I need who I'm in covenant with to to look like me I am done with all of this silly chatter I need people around me that looks [Music] [Applause] need them to look like me and so God says let me make your life look like you because I called you a mighty man of Valor but you don't have no men following you so let me drop your men in fear he says go down to the middle of the city tear down that structure there serving bail with and build me one on top of it and the Bible says that Gideon was afraid clearly I know he was afraid it didn't say but I know he was afraid because the Bible says he waited too late in the middle of the night got 10 guys didn't go do it myself so he brought some company with him and went knocked it down and built on top of it and the Bible says that when they woke up men wanted to kill him let me tell you something when you are obedient to God men will want to kill you if nobody wants to kill you I doubt whether or not you're obedient to God you cannot be obedient to God and everybody loved you you cannot be obedient to God and everybody want to play kissy Kissy you cannot be obedient to God and everybody want to go to lunch go play golf when you are obedient to God memorize in Turkey [Applause] it will rise and want to kill you and so the Bible says they rose and wanted to kill him but God covered him and eventually he blew the trumpet and when he blew the trumpet the Bible says that thirteen thousand men came and rallied around him thirty-two thousand and those thirty-two thousand men came because he was afraid to go to the middle of the city but he punched the security code and did it anyway and so the Bible says that God looked at all his men and said you got all these men thirty-two thousand yeah they gotta go he says because if I let you keep them they're gonna take some of my glory so I gotta send some of them some of them back and some of you are trying to figure out why what God blessed me with money and didn't take the money why would God bless me with health and then take the health it's because it was never about you having it it was about your mentality you must understand that this was about Gideon knowing that he was big enough a powered man the least of his family but now he was the captain of thirty two thousand and so now he walks away saying I used to be this but I'm big enough to handle that I used to be and I wonder is there anybody in here that's holding on to what God is trying to take and you have to understand that the taking of it it's not to kill you the taking of it is to shave off what you don't need with me and so he says tell them if any of you are in fear go home in 22000 say it made a Lord watch between me and the while we are absent one from another the thinker says well then if Gideon have to feel fair and go why do they get the fair leave it's because your blessing requires that you can't do it everybody else could do when God has really called you how you set the tone for what your war looks like cannot be like what everybody else has look like you have to walk according to what God spoke over you and if God spoke greatness over you you got a walk great if God spoke mighty over you you got a walk mighty if God spoke brilliance over you you got a walk brilliant and just because another man could do it don't mean you could do it because God spoke something different over you and so they had the luxury to go but Gideon had the luxury to stay and it's because of what God spoke over him touch yourself again and say we ain't leaving because of who God called me God looked again and said uh I need to bless you again boy you got too many people he said so I want you to take them and some of you know this text I want you to take them to get something to drink and when you take them to get something to drink I want you to watch him Gideon he says I'm gonna teach you what separation is he's he says every man that that that drinks their water wit with their face all the way in the lake send them home he says but every man that would get a little bit of water and and lap like a dog he said I want you to keep them let me tell you the distinguishing difference the difference is vision [Applause] because you are all supposed to drink but when I leave you to the water and everything about you because what do you see when you look in water yourself and when your first makes it all about you window first makes it everything about me what I got to do what everything is about me meatus Mita God says he says but the men that could fulfill their thirst and keep their eyes on the vision keep them we are in the middle of the fight there's no time for the big about you we're gonna come together and win this war stop taking people who will make it all about and I want to tell some of you why your heart is broken it's because you take people that's all about them I want to tell some of you while you are brokenhearted because you thought people would have your heart and thought they would have your back and thought they will keep your secrets and you thought they would be with you I'm gonna tell you why that they were the wrong people for you to take to your war is because when you took up the war they made their thirst all about them [Applause] he says watch them Gideon look look look look hold face in the water infatuated with themself infatuated with their first wait today finished drinking and send them home and I want to tell some of you that the real maneuver the real door that will take you from one level to the next is when you are able to send people home all right let me stop okay I'll leave that on the Bible then says he says okay it's 300 left that's the right number for me Gideon said but wait I started out with 32,000 I got 300 right because God says I have a tendency of taking a little bit and doing a lot with it so I wanna tell some of you that are afraid because God is taking you a lot I want to tell you it's by God designed because God plans on taking you a little bit and doing a lot with it just like he took those two fish and five loaves of bread and took them and fed over ten thousand men because he'll take a little bit and do a whole lot do a whole lot with it so for some of you who looking at your bank account and say okay but wait a minute I started out with this at the beginning of the year how God gonna bless me with this it's what God wanted because God is setting it up to take a little bit and [Applause] it's okay we're just gonna walk through the Bible tonight so he then says okay I'm gonna take this a little bit and be obedient to God he goes on to the top of the hill and this is where I want you to pay attention to and I'll get out of your way God says to him when he get on the top of the hill he says boy you got 300 I've given it run down kill them all take the Midianites I'm with you I'm giving them to you but if you fear take your armor bearer and go down wait a minute wait a minute wait this is God talking which says to me that God isn't moved by you getting afraid [Music] God didn't rebuke him for being afraid God didn't replace him for being afraid God didn't move him out of the way and provide somebody else because he was afraid instead God gave him a strategy in the middle of his fear stop and I want to tell some of you that won't move until your fear leaves keep listening I'm gonna show you what God says so the first thing I want to tell you is just because you are in fear it don't mean that God is away and the demon is there okay okay let me keep going God says you afraid he said you scared this is my strategy for your fear he says grab your ax and go the next thing that I want to help you understand about God and his perspective about your fear is he told Gideon if you are in fear go which means in God's eyesight just because you are afraid don't mean you get to stay stick with me some of you justify your stale feet because you are afraid and you won't move until fear leaves but I came to tell you that God isn't gonna get rid of your fear that you are gonna have to feel the fear and go anyway let me tell you why because God will not come down and take away from you that that cannot stop you and just because you are afraid don't mean your fear can stop you don't mean what you are afraid of can stop you you are powerful you are gifted you are anointed you are the righteousness of [Applause] so in my conclusion of my Sunday School class God says I called you to be the mighty man of Valor I want you to lead my people in my land and the Midianites have been coming and taking it but I'm gonna tell you how to get the victory and I'm gonna drop the victory and the thing that makes you afraid the Bible says that he made a choice out of the options and the options wasn't to go round with other 300 men the options was the fair option that Gideon went down with his armor-bearer went to the land close to where they were and listened and heard that the enemies were scared of him more than he was scared of I came to tell some of you that your enemy is more terrified of you than you are of him and you're losing sleep about your enemy and you're losing your appetite about your enemy and you can't find peace but I'm telling you that your enemy is more scared of you than you are of [Applause] he then after hearing it God says if you want to take them get a trumpet get pots and throw it down and blow the trumpet wait you want us to make noise because see after you're hidden God's gonna make you bring attention to yourself and when the attention comes to you it's not about you showing off it's so that you could be a distraction so that God could kill your enemies the Bible says that when they make noise and everybody look towards them that God made one man Swart turn to the other this is the victory of his whole life from the moment we started reading about him being in the basement of a winepress till now where he is now taken over the Midianites with 300 men not one time did he use its war stick with me you must understand that your security code is not a new knife it's not in your gun it's not in your mouth it's not in speaking back it's not in your flesh it's not in your argument your security code a punching in to get to your blessing is when you can feel the fear don't touch your neighbor and say you better go you better stop waiting for it to come to you and go you better stop being sadiddy' and go you better stop waiting for God to make it cute for you and go your blessing is on the other side your power is on the other side your gifting is on the other side yo money is on the up side bastard you and come back up now the beauty in this text is where I concluded that Gideon went from being a punk I mean [Applause] I can't say that here okay - running 32,000 men to being a strategist of deciding who was battle ready - then going over to the enemy's camp and take him back what the enemy stole from him and he did not have to lift one thing which helps me understand that the real fight the real thing that stood between Gideon and his success the the real thing that stood between one level to the next level the real thing that stood between faith to faith and glory to glory it wasn't a prophecy and one people fast and and one people falling out it wasn't his pastor it wasn't his Bishop and wasn't his evangelists the thing that stood the front of him was his own fear and when he conquered himself he conquered his life yo enemy is not outside of you yo enemy is who you look at when you look in the mirror and when you can talk yourself you can talk our business when you can talk to yourself you can talk out of marriage when you [Applause] and so I asked pastor John to come up because especially right now he's been filling it and going and coming every Sunday and we see [Applause] you and which says to me that there is a level of grace and anointing on him about this particular area and so I want to go old-school if I can I want everybody who's in a fight with the blessing God spoke over you because it's so big it terrifies you because you don't know how you gonna get it it's so big it keeps you up all night because you don't know how is it gonna go from invisible to tangible how is what God waking me up and showing me gonna be a thing that I could touch yes I see it in a spirit but when do I see it in the flesh and if there's anybody there with me come to the front wherever you are come just come forget who's looking forget who pipng they need to mind their business anyway come pastor humbly if you can can you pray strength and power and relentless nature because to feel fear and go anyway you gotta be relentless and this is what God gave you and so I I'm finished my part but but if you can can can you can you can you pray over relentless people that's the cue wind when were you in Houston with me when the flooding happened about a month and a half that's like the last time we talked we haven't talked on the phone we haven't we haven't talked we haven't talked and you just spoke to so many areas in my life because I've been afraid and I've been afraid of me because I don't see what God sees all the time and I think that was another lesson in the threshing-floor he called him a mighty man of Valor and he tried to talk God out of what God says because he didn't see what God saw I just want to tell you thank you I just asked if you were coming up here tonight you know just text you say yeah well you got a word I haven't talked to you since the flood in Houston you know bless my soul this night I am NOT a stopgap for people's agenda I'm a pastor I'm not the thing you do until you do the thing you want this is relentless church and this church is for people like me who have been wounded by leaders and who have been wounded by life and who have been summed up by the parts of yourself that you would much rather forget remember this church is a church for people that are hurting but still trust God anyway relentless Church was created in a house with my wife and two kids as I was driving to get my son a gift on Chimney Rock Road and God gave me the name for those who don't remember I said why that name he said because every time you could have given up you kept coming after me this church is for people who could have given up who felt like giving up and kept going after God anyways what was I supposed to pray for so that what I just say it will manifest in them so they can put in a security Coface themselves and get the blessing I don't even know what to say y'all have to give me a second we're gonna pray for those who feel like it lift your hands I haven't talked to you there was a young lady that that me and my wife met a year and a half ago was dealing with breast cancer and she was on the show that we did on TV and we were believing for healing and I'm believing I'm believing and I'm believing and pastor Q we went to see her when we were in Houston I went to see her and it got bad real bad I leaned over her bed she actually woke up out of her coma her mother called she said she's been asking for you she said you're her pastor I went and held her hand and I heard what the doctor said and I'm still believing on faith or anyway mother called me but I could tell in her voice she transitioned but she had been in a coma but that day the hour before I got there she came out of that coma so I could see her so she knew she wasn't by herself sometimes when you're going through and you feel like you're not gonna make it you just need to know when you open your eyes there's somebody there to let you know you're not going through it by yourself thank you for this word tonight you have blessed this house you have blessed this house I've been afraid in some form for almost my whole life I've been afraid because I never felt adequate it's just the devil that I have to fight but tonight I'm gonna face that thing and the same freedom that he preached I'm getting and I'm and you're gonna get it too you're gonna get it too Lord if you will do me a favor for the people that are here for everything that was spoken I just can't believe it for everything that was spoken endow every person who's here and watching in the name of Jesus the blood of Jesus and the authority of the Holy Ghost for those who are willing to receive it god I pray that we will face ourselves in the areas where we feel inadequate and may be inadequate you actually said your strength is made perfect in our weakness so I guess I need to rejoice in the areas where I'm not great because you're going to show up there Lord instead of pointing fingers at everyone else let me face me I'm gonna say that again instead of pointing fingers at anyone else let me face me and God I submit me to you in anything in my flesh that has Ward against your word over me I give it to you right now talk to me under the oak tree tell me who I am remind me that I came from heaven that I am eternal in nature that I have supernatural power in my mouth and God remind me that even if I feel inadequate and afraid you have put enough in me that if I just listen to you and do what you said every enemy than the inner me will bow down so god this is my prayer that the deliverance and the freedom that has been declared tonight will follow us home then when we get in the car we feel the wind of the Holy Ghost in a fresh way father I asked for fresh wind in this great church and I pray God that you will cause your spirit of Liberty and power to show up in the lives of your people now we leave on the threshing floor our old vision our broken definition of self we climb out of the pit we walk up into our destiny and we are we declare that we are exactly who you said we are this is the prayer of the saints tonight in Jesus name Amen amen and amen can you bless God [Applause] [Music]
