#StormProof

“When you build a home, because all of us are building a life and we're building a home. When you build your home to withstand storms, not to be storm free, but to be storm proof, there's a difference. Because storms are coming to everybody's house. But when you build a house that is storm proof, it is because you have learned as a resident in that house how to listen to what Jesus says and obey it. That's the message right there. It”

#CharacterOverCalling

“Some of you have an amazing calling on your life. There's a there's a potential for ascension on your life that your character cannot stabilize and sustain. This is this is ascending, this is wobbly. the devil is so raunchy that he'll wait till you get elevated to expose that. So did the shame is even worse. And what God is, God is so patient. He's trying to protect. He's closing doors so that he can protect you because he know you're not ready.”

#Forgiveness

“Here's why you forgive. Because it may be the only way you can get free. Amen. Because that anger they spewed in you is now in you. And anger is hard on a body. It's hard on us physiologically. Anger will eat up your peace. It'll eat up your joy. It'll eat up your hope. It'll it'll eat up your vision. And sometimes you gotta forgive a person just so you can be free.”

#HopeAgain

“Some of you have been paralyzed, and I'm getting ready to open up the altar. I want you to walk boldly in what you quit on because you have told yourself it's easier to keep my hopes down. Now I'm telling you, get your hope up again. Believe what God has said to you thirty eight years ago. And then when you get out your seat, walk in it. Some of y'all have picked up your mat, but you won't leave comfort, and comfort has limited your paycheck. I am telling you that when you walk, God will meet you. How do you know? I'm a receipt.”

#ProtectYourIncome

“Like, this ain't gonna work. So this what I say. I say this all the time. Never let your stream drop your river. Alright. Alright. Good. Unless your stream can replace your river, be careful. Don't be all over there doing your side hustle because most streams don't have health benefits or paid leave. I know you got your own business, but you'll get paid to be off. Be careful of this swimming in shallow water. Your family needs stability too.”

#LeadByExample

“The right messaging and the right modeling. You you watch this. You have to show and tell. You you have to be able to truly say, do as I say. No. Listen, do as I say and as I do. There needs to be a consistency in the message and the model. Are y'all listening to me? Yes. So because it is our responsibility to instruct those. Because watch this, bad financial habits and good financial habits come out of two places, education and examples.”

#GraceToOutlive

“Oh, somebody give God a praise on that. God will let you live long enough to outlive your foolishness, outlive your craziness, outlive your freakiness, outlive your infidelity, outlive your drunkenness, outlive your simpleness. Is there anybody that's been around long enough to say I've been young. Now I'm old. And God let me live. To outlive my failures. And I'm here today just because it was grace. Glory to God.”

#GodChoseYourParents

“Unless they tell you to do something that's illegal. But I promise you, putting out the trash is not illegal. I promise you. Pinky promise. Being told to clean your room is not illegal. I promise you. Doing what you're told when you're told. I ain't looking at y'all. It's not illegal. Waiting until you wanna do it. That, watch this, delayed obedience is disobedience.”

#SpiritualAlignment

“``let me tell you something which should never come off your list. Is he is he or she aligned with God? Let me show you something. Am I boring y'all? No. I don't care. This is the standard. We all need to be submitted to the lordship of Christ, the authority of God the father, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Does that person have those qualities? And do you have them? You can't be a spiritual pinto looking for a Ferrari.”

#ProdigalLove

“Before he left and when he left, he loved them on the way back because he watch this. The father saw him. The Bible says, a great distance off. It looked like my baby. That is him. he starts running outdoors. Men didn't run-in the biblical times. He has a tunic on. He starts running towards his son. His son never got the speech out, Charles. He never got his I'm sorry, dad speech out. The father ran, put a robe on him, put sandals on his feet, put a ring on his finger, killed the fatted calf because this is my son. He was dead, and now he's alive.”

#ScriptureOnSubmission

“the bible doesn't say that a woman is supposed to obey her husband. It says she's supposed to arrange herself under him. The bible says children ought to obey their their fathers or their parents. And in verse 22 of Colossians chapter three, the slaves and servants obey their masters. A wife is not your slave, she's not your servant, and she's not your child. And even though the traditional wedding vow says, will you obey him? That's not biblical. Because because obedience Children are told to obey their parents in all things.”

#StartWithTheHeart

“If you're in a family and you ride home with a family today or you don't ride home with a family, please don't be going home on the phone or talking to somebody, I hope you listen today. Don't You missed the whole point. Do your part. Do your part. I promise you there's enough in that passage for you to work on. Amen. Lord, fix me. Do a work in me. And it has to start in your heart. It has to start in your heart.”

#PreacherForFaith

“``You need a preacher in your life. You got a dentist. You got a chiropractor. You got a lawn care caregiver. You got a mechanic. You got a hairstylist. You got a barber. You got a custodian. You got a painter. You got a certified financial planner. You got a therapist. You need a preacher because you're gonna need some faith in your life. Somebody thank God for the word that is preached because everybody's dealing with some. You may not be paralyzed in both feet, but you got something that's got you stuck. You got something in your life that ain't moving. You got something in your life that ain't working the way you want it, and you need a word from God to show you how to navigate it.”

#WorshipIsSacrifice

“culture is is more of what you see than what you say. Mhmm. Come on pastor. Come on, Peter. Y'all y'all y'all with me? Y'all track? It's it's more what you see than what you say. So when we're talking about culture and we're talking about kingdom and we're and and we started out talking about worship. Really, worship is about sacrifice. Stay stay with me. It's about sacrifice. In fact, Romans twelve one says, and so dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God”

#PeaceThatSurpasses

“I didn't let them beat me so that you could live in chaos. have not given you a spirit of fear. I've given you power, love, and a sound mind. That's my Throughout the Bible, he talks about peace, Jeff. says he says, peace I leave with you. My peace. Like the world gives. world didn't give you my peace, and the world can't take it away. I bring you good tidings of great joy, peace towards all men, and goodwill towards all men. That's what I came to do. I am the prince of peace, he says. I'll keep your mind in perfect peace if you stayed on me. I'll give you a peace that surpasses all your understanding.”

#ChristOnTheThrone

“And he belongs there not just because of what he's done, not just because of what he's done, but because of who he is. He he he belongs there just based on his innate nature as God. This seat is for the king of kings. This seat is for the Lord of Lords. This seat is for the alpha and the omega. This seat is for Emmanuel. This seat is for Christ Jesus our Lord. This is not our seat. Somebody say get out of his seat.”

#JesusOnlyWay

“That person is Jesus Christ. Now, let's stop right there for a minute minute. First of all, all roads don't lead to God. Only one road. Amen. Jesus Christ. He says, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes to the father but through me, respectfully. He is the mediator between God and man, and he's the only one qualified to do it because there's a breach in the relationship between mankind and God that was started in the Garden Of Eden when Adam and Eve sinned.”

#LoveGodAllIn

“will you love God with all your heart, and will you follow him even when it hurts. Oh, that's so good right there. That's so good right I love it because it doesn't ask the passive questions. It doesn't say, based on the profession of your faith, will you accept this free gift of salvation? First of all, if you're getting baptized, you've already accepted the gift of salvation. You don't get baptized to get saved. You get baptized because you are saved and you're publicly declaring what has already happened in your life. So we don't need to go backwards. We need to know now, not did you put faith in Jesus, that's the profession of your faith. Did you put faith in Jesus? Now we need to know, can Jesus put faith in you?”

#FaithIsPersonal

“This ain't my mama's religion. This ain't my father's faith. It's gotta be personal. It's gotta be personal. Anybody glad that you know him for yourself, amen. It it matters when it matters, amen. I'm grateful for the faith of my fathers and my mothers and my parents and my grandparents that helped shape my life, but it doesn't matter if I don't know them for myself, that's what I really need. He says, you've done that, but you now have to continue to follow him. Because you never graduate as a Christian, not while you're alive.”

#MoneyFollowsYou

“Where do you get that? Look at the verse. Money is obedient. What do I mean by that? Money will take your life wherever you direct it to take your life Yes. Without any pushback. Yeah. Money just follows the direction of its owner. Whether if you if if by whatever your habits and your financial systems tell money to do, that's where money will take. Either you'll you'll squander it in sin or you enhance your life by it, but it has nothing to do with money's decision. It is all on you.”

#missionbiggerthanfear

“You have all kinds of reasons why you did it and most people will listen to you and say that makes sense, But at the end of the day, you're scared. And God said, God is not saying don't ever don't ever get scared, he just said don't stay scared. Sometimes you gotta do it while you're scared. You can't watch this, here it is. Your mission's gotta be bigger than your fear. Because watch this, he says Go back to verse six. He says, be strong and gracious, don't be scared for you're the one and you will lead these people to possess all the land. Here's the reason why you can't let fear stop you because it's bigger than you.”

#DecideAndMoveForward

“When you're gonna make a decision, it can't just be a discussion. It must be a decision. No delays, decision. So Elijah took every bull he had and he killed it, sacrificed it, took all of his farming equipment and burnt it, gave all the food to the townspeople. Why? So that there'll be nothing left of his business. He says, I can't go back now. I can only go forward.”

#BankOnHisName

“Swear by my own name. I don't know who I'm preaching to, but God has promised you something so good that you can bank his name as on it. God, the reason why I'm a praise you right now, I believe your name is on my child. I believe your name is on my healing. I believe your name is on my victory. I believe your name is on my deliverance. So I'm gonna praise you because your name is on it.”

#ReclaimWhatsMine

“Devil, you're a lie. I lost it, but it's still mine, and I came to reclaim it. I came to reclaim it. You're lie. You're gonna have to let it go. Yes. I set it down and didn't pick it back up. Yes. I may have taken it for granted, but I'm wiser now. I'm I'm watch this. God grew me up now.”

#TraumaBondingTruth

“We don't wanna admit it, but the devil put it together. Trauma bonding. You caught me when I was hurt. You caught me when I was grieving. You caught me when I was in pain. You became my prescription. But but then I became addicted to something that's keeping me sick. Oh, I'm trying I'm trying. Let me make it about me so it don't feel so personal to you. But how many are you tracking with me? Yeah. You can't take that in the promised land with you.”

#DriveOutDontSettle

“Oh, there's a difference. I'm a go into this in part 16. There's a difference between defeating an enemy and driving it out. The fact that they defeated the enemy allowed him to occupy. The fact that they didn't drive the enemy out, they couldn't enjoy it Because the enemy is still there, and guess what? They had to employ them. Because whatever you don't drive out, you're gonna have to manage.”

#PatternsOverPromises

“``I'm a I'm a I'm a Patterness, sir. Let patterns speak louder than promises. Look at the pattern. Yes. Don't be buying a pie. Yeah. Yeah. We can do that. Yeah. My company could do that. We got you know, we got we do we do Gladys Knight. We we got we got Lou Rawls. We we we did all them people, man. We did Michael Jackson, Prince. Still doing Prince today. They always said, yeah, we we we can handle all of the marketing and all that. Believe the pattern. Because the pattern say, you're late, you don't show up, you're unprofessional, you're argumentative, you're combative. But when you came in, you were smiling, you're smelling good, looking good, saying we can make this happen. Believe the patterns over the problem. Because watch this. Because you about to shake hands. And somebody about to shake hands with somebody you don't really need to be hooked up with.”

#SuccessIsTribal

“There are things I'm gonna say tonight that are critical to what god considers good success. Because god's standard for success is not always the same as the standard in the world. So the first point I'm gonna make in fact, I think it's important that we first bring definition and distinction between good success and other types of success, and that goes to my first point. And that is the fact that when you're talking about good success, good success is not just personal in nature, it is tribal in nature.”

#BlessingNeedsStewardship

“It's a picture of the darkness and spiral of a man who has the blessing on him but doesn't have the spiritual habits to steward it. And some of y'all been listening to this series like you don't need it. Because in your mind, you're already successful. In the world's eyes, you're already successful. But I got news for you, so was Lot. I said Lot was successful too.”

#BreakTheHabit

“Pharaoh is not always a person. Sometimes it's a habit that you're trying to escape and get out of. And so you say to yourself, I am going to get my body in order because what God is gonna put on me requires not just my spirit, but every spirit needs a body and a level of stuff that God's gonna put on my back. I gotta be in shape to carry it, and you are inspired until five days. And on the sixth, cookies and cream come calling. And cookies and cream say, what's your problem? You can't call nobody if you've ever had the pressure of heroin. It has not been four hundred years of slavery, but it is 2026. And you have tried counseling for the third time, and your resolution is boss, I tried and I tired. And it is hard to push when you're tired.”

#UnstoppableWithGod

“``So you don't have to like me, but watch the rest of the verse. You will not be able to stop me. I feel like preaching right there. You will not be able to stop me. He says, watch this. I not only have your support, but I got power for you. He says, nobody will be able to stop you all your life. Now, when God says nobody can stop you, that should let you know somebody's going to try it.”

#SoilShapesFruit

“``There's a sower who's called a farmer, and what he's sowing is the word. And the result of the word is what happens when that word hits soil. When the seed hits soil, the results of the seed have nothing to do with the sower or the seed, because it's the same sower and it's the same seed. The only thing that changes from a successful result to an unsuccessful result is the condition of the soil.”

#ProtectYourYes

“but because i didn't protect my yes i'm giving my energy and time and abilities or something that i can never get back because guess what yes has a cost yes has a cost and guess who's gonna have to pay it you you got to pay for it with your time and with your energy and with your voice and everything and guess what one of the costs of saying yes to the wrong thing is sickness fatigue being less than your best”

#GodStillHasAPlan

“If God is real and he's real in your life, it doesn't matter who leaves. It doesn't matter who betrayed you, who broke up with you, who left you for somebody else, who died on you, who you had to bury. If God is still in your life, you should be able to keep going on with your life. And some of you need to hear these words, arise and go. Arise and go. Because I still got a plan.”

#PositionInChrist

“``When you begin to make your priority what Christ did, not what they did, you start to reap some power and some benefits while you locked up. Why? Because I am filled. Filled with what? I am filled with the Spirit of God. I'm always filled. What do you mean when you say always filled? What I'm saying is that I'm so filled that what took place cannot change my permanent position because my position is tied to something that's unmovable and unshakable.”

#ShapedByMyStory

“Everything that's happened to you is to help you—the court case, the false accusation, the parent who was there and the parent who was not, the money you lost and the money you got, the job you wanted and the job you didn't get, the kid that's hard-headed and the one that makes you smile—everything that's happened to you has helped you. It has helped you live a life that's off the chain. That means that God has set you up and locked you in so that your life will be off the chain whether it's shining or whether it's cloudy, whether it's good or whether it's bad.”

#EnoughWithWhatYouHave

“And some of y'all are stuck in good and pursuing success because you're grieving, but some of you are stuck in pursuing success because you don't think you're enough. Because you're comparing yourself to whoever you're replacing or whoever standard you look up to or whoever you follow on social media. And you're not getting their whole story, you're just getting their glory, but you're not getting their story.”

#SuccessThroughTheWord

“Prosperity ain't all money. It's favor. It's blessing. It's peace. It's stuff money can't buy. And he says, watch this. Here's the pathway to success. The pathway to good success is interesting. It's not who you're following on social media. It's not eight steps and eight conferences to go to. He says, all of your pathway to good success in Joshua chapter one, eight has only to do with one thing. Your relationship with my word.”

#HarmonyForSuccess

“There must be harmony and alignment in order for you to be on the pathway to success. You got that? Now, let's go to Ephesians chapter 2. Back to that important verse in Ephesians chapter 2 where we are reminded we are God's masterpiece. That's the A clause of the verse. So we could call this the A clause of the verse. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus. That would be the B clause of the verse. So we can do the good things he plans. That's the C clause of the verse. There are three clauses in the verse, and all of them are connected.”

#GoodSuccessOnly

“All money ain't good money. And I'm going to say, if that's true, I would also say all success ain't good success. God says to Joshua, here is the pathway to good success.”

#UnseenGoodness

“``Oh, wow. It's so true. Like, the goodness of God is so overwhelming, there's not a word that can match it or a word that could. That could equate it. Like, there's not a praise you can give that would ever catch up with his goodness. Like, let me say, like, our praise will always be in the red because he's good. He's so good. So often there's things he's doing for us we don't even know he's doing. And there's things he's protecting us from we don't even know that we're in danger of. And their conversations happen about us that are for our good, that we don't even know that it's happening. That he's working. When we're sleeping, he's healing. While we're sick, he's making a way. When we're trapped, he's opening a door. We don't know our way out. He's been good.”

#BuiltForTheBattle

“I'm built for this. All the naysayers. I'm built for it. All the distractions and the naysayers. I'm built for it. The stress. I'm built for it. The pressure. I'm built for it. The problems. I'm built for it. He wired me to fix this. He wired me to deal with this. The reason why I get upset when I see it is because he built me for it.”

#ConsistentWordPower

“The A clause is what you're saying to others. The B clause is what you're saying to yourself. He says, I need both of those conversations to consistently be informed by the word. Because when you watch this, when you talk one thing in church, but you talk another thing to yourself. James says you're double minded and you're unstable in all your way.”

#TheWordWorksPower

“You know why you keep standing up? Because you know the word works. You know the word works. I don't have to be where the word is being spoken. The word works. The word travels. The word moves. The word works. And when I have an anticipation that God is about to change my life, it's hard to sit still because I know God is about to do.”

#praiseinthedark

“Morning is coming in your life. I said morning is coming in your life. I don't know who you are or where you are right now, but I'm telling you morning is coming in your life. And the reason why that's so important is, is because the night you've been in has been so long. And it's been so dark and it's been so hard. But the Bible says weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning. I say it's coming in the morning. And in the morning, you're going to see everything that God was doing in the dark.”

#PowerOfWordsAuthority

“In this series, we've been talking about the power of words. Help me, Lord. The power of words. And as we discuss the power of words, we find that we have the authority and the power to attract things into our lives that are good, and we can resist and reject things out of our lives that are not good, all with the same instrument, our mouths. God has given us the power and authority to rebuke things.”

#RejectMountainsReceivePromises

“In Mark 11 23 we are taught what to reject in our life in Mark 11 24 we're taught what to receive in our life when Mark 23 says you can say to this mountain be cast into the sea that means I don't receive that and a mountain can be fear it can be anxiety it can be an addiction it can be poverty it can be a person it can be a system whatever is keeping you from the promise of God and the plan of God in your life is a mountain and whatever you don't receive you reject that and you reject it with your mouth I don't I don't accept that.”

#PrayBelieveReceive

“When you pray, believe that you receive and you will have. This is what we do. We pray, then we worry, and we hope. Then we get happy when what we pray for shows up. That’s not faith. Faith is the substance of things I’m hoping for. It’s the evidence of things I can’t see. So faith says, when I pray, I believe. When I pray, I believe right then that I receive.”

#FacingUnmovableMountains

“A mountain is something you've been fighting. Something you can't work your way over. Something you can't work your way through. A problem you can't see your way around. A hindrance or a barrier. And it's so big. It's so deep. It's just, it's a lot.”

#ChooseFaithOverVictimhood

“You have resolved in your life that this is my life. This is my journey. This is my pain. This is my problem. This is how it always will be. I'm going to take the good with the bad and keep on moving. Or I'm going to just be sad the rest of my life because I'm a victim and this happened to me. And it's case sera, sera. So, so, so, so, but, but, but, but if God said to you, your suffering is over and he simultaneously fixed the very thing that's causing you suffering, that would be a miracle, y 'all.”

#PatientKindLove

“Love puts up with people. It suffers long. It's patient love and watch this and it's kind. See, it's one thing to put up with people but you're putting up with a man. Love puts up with people kind. Love doesn't make you feel bad that you're being put up with.”

#GodsUnfailingLove

“``God is not beefing with you. Let me tell you something about God. You can disobey God. He still loves you. How many people know that? You can walk away from God. He still loves you. You walk away from God. He's following you. What you doing? Just making sure you're good. Oh, y 'all don't feel me here. And I'm going to get in front of you so you don't walk into nothing. And I'm going to be beside you because you walk through the shadow of the valley of death. You don't have to fear no evil because I'm still with you. I will never break my promise. I'm watching over you. I'm in front of you. I'm beside you. I'm behind you.”

#ObedienceBeyondFeelings

“When it comes to obeying God's Word, it ain't got nothing to do with your feelings. It ain't got nothing to do with your opinion about a person, and how unreachable they are, and how unrestorable the relationship is, you do what God tells you to do. Because let me tell you something, when it comes to God's Word, in this matter of living without offense, no one is off limits. I said no one is off limits.”

“It is an honor to let things go. It is honorable to forgive things. Because forgiveness releases the power of God into a situation. You don't forgive with your love. You forgive with God's love. Say God, you can say God I don't have the capacity to forgive this person. I don't have the capacity within me to do it on my own. But your love makes forgiveness possible. So with your love I forgive.”

“when he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, at home, even the higher servants have food enough to spare. And I'm out here dying of hunger. Let me make the statement for us. True. At home, even the dogs know how they're going to eat their food. I know God can take care of me. Even outside, the birds are going to be taken care of. I know God's going to take care of me. Even the animals of the field, they don't have to worry about how they're going to be clothed and kept warm. I know God's going to take care of me. Finally, he came to his senses. Some of us need to come to our senses. Wake up. You don't have to be out here living wild.”

“But don't be upset. Don't be angry with yourself for sending me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. This famine that has ravaged the land for two years will last five more years. And there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors. So it was God who sent me here, not you.”

“Let me say this let me make it inherently clear I'm not advocating that you sacrifice and that you suffer in something that's unreasonably toxic and something that could cause you bodily harm what I am saying though is that patient love grown -up love is sort of like your middle school yearbook pictures when you look go back and look at it everybody in here look funny you don't look as good then as you hey you look crazy as I don't know what but you know what you didn't give up on yourself because because we all know that you were not fully developed and I just want to give this news flash just wait until you grow up when God's work finishes completing you you will look so good that your enemies won't even recognize you.”

“If the enemy cannot stop you from showing up, his next move is to get you to show up empty. So you're here. You made it. They say, how you doing? Child, I'm here. Woo. You need anything? No, I'm just here. Woo. You need? No, I need a minute. I'm just here.”

“For many of us, we have come to the altar, we lift our hands in worship, we have let that offense and grudge go, only to find out and struggle some hours later, our minds start to instant replay the whole encounter that has held us up for months, and in some cases, years. And we feel that feeling we felt all over again, and your mind tells you, you ain't over this. Or it tells you, you are justified to hold on to this grudge, and you ain't letting this go.”

“Through suffering, not through weight training, not through unicorns and rainbows, not through manifesting, not through the vibes in the room, through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may be.also be seen in our bodies.”
