00:00:21if you have a physical bible lifted in the air i'm pushing my church to have bibles look at
00:00:25you right there physical bible let's do that i know your deeds they are neither cold nor hot
00:00:30i wish you were either one or the other in other words god said stop front so because you are lukewarm
00:00:36neither hot nor cold i am about to spit you out i know your deeds that you are neither hot nor cold
00:00:44i wish you were either one i wish you were either one or the other look at your neighbor say neighbor
00:00:49if i have to be one of the other i'm not going down it's time to level up you may be seated i
00:00:57want to teach today from the topic level up level up level up i want you to take really really really
00:01:02good notes level up level up so in your notes i said this is 1.5 so you can speed me up and slow
00:01:07me down if you want i want you to title today's message level up here for my note takers the sin
00:01:12of deliberate mediocrity the sin of deliberate mediocrity family let me ask you a hard question
00:01:20today and please answer it for me if you can when did average become acceptable when did just enough
00:01:26become good enough when did we start calling bare minimum holy just because we're tired traumatized
00:01:33or comfortable see i believe put this in your notes one of the greatest enemies to purpose is not
00:01:38failure it's settling one of the greatest enemies to purpose is not failure it's settling not because
00:01:46you don't have the gift not because you don't know the call but because you've made a decision to stay
00:01:50safe instead of being stretched hear me mediocrity is not a condition it's a choice mediocrity is not a
00:02:00condition it's a choice and when you deliberately choose not to maximize what god gave you that's not
00:02:07humility it's not wisdom it's called disobedience whenever you deliberately choose not to maximize
00:02:15what god called you that's called disobedience because god doesn't call us to be comfortable
00:02:20you had to be here last week for this he calls us to be consecrated and to be consecrated mean god
00:02:25pulls you out sets you apart for his specific use and if you were here last week you're gonna catch
00:02:31this and whenever god sees someone using you for other than what he calls you god intervenes you're
00:02:38not gonna like me for the second week in a row but it's cool your relationship didn't fail because of
00:02:42you of them it failed because of him god knew you being with them would cause you to settle for less than
00:02:47what i called you to be if you're in a toxic relationship it's the demon
00:02:52see he said the word but he doesn't understand the word okay so let's go back to the word because
00:03:03he's not called by god to preach to the child of god okay he's not actually interpreting it he's saying
00:03:10these things that's not from the word he put his own facts on there with no scripture the only scripture
00:03:18he started with was this one i know your deeds that you are neither cold nor hot who's talking about
00:03:26the ones taking their eyes off god why because they think they're saved
00:03:32i wish you were either one or the other
00:03:39okay because you could say and do things christian-like or that like you love god but
00:03:48you don't you still sin you still fall for the temptation you still listen to a false teacher
00:03:57not called by god you're not actually having a relationship with the lord but you may still say
00:04:03a prayer but you're blocked because you have a demon with you put us in the false prophet prophecy not
00:04:09only the sins that you do but the sentence you continue to do like watch a false teacher not asking
00:04:16god is this person called by god is this person called by your lord no okay don't listen don't
00:04:21watch them just because you like them everyone else is gathered around them doesn't mean they don't
00:04:26have a demon it's time to level up you may be seated i want to teach today from the topic level up
00:04:34level up level up i want you to take really really really good notes level up level up so in your notes
00:04:38i want you to title today's message level up here for my note takers the sin of deliberate mediocrity
00:04:45the sin of deliberate mediocrity okay where's that sin at show me in the scripture
00:04:51family let me ask you a hard question today and please answer it for me if you can
00:04:54when did average become acceptable when did okay that's where he said it's at revelation 315
00:05:00is he gonna become is he gonna put it on the screen let's see acceptable when did just enough
00:05:10become good enough when did we start calling bare minimum holy just because we're tired traumatized
00:05:16or comfortable and remember i don't have the word of god with with me because i had the word god inside
00:05:22of me the holy spirit god said i don't need to have my actual bible here because he is the sword
00:05:28and they the false teachers and false prophets are waving around the word like he's with them and
00:05:36he's not this is not ambitious so you're a false teacher false prophet not called by god to teach
00:05:41the children of god because god did not call you to do this you don't know how to put you in your
00:05:45backpack i don't care if you write down all the scriptures he didn't call you to teach
00:05:50because you're going to tell half truth and have lies
00:05:52i believe put this in your notes one of the greatest enemies to purpose is not failure it's
00:05:59settling one of the greatest enemies to purpose is is that in the scripture
00:06:05no he's trying to make it like he's teaching you something but it's not in the scripture
00:06:09he has to show you where it is he's not doing that why because he can't interpret the word of god
00:06:15failure it's settling not because you don't have the gift not because you don't know the call
00:06:20but because you've made a decision to stay safe instead of being stretched hear me mediocrity
00:06:26i don't have to stretch or do anything because i'm in my assignment you see what he's talking about
00:06:30that's not the holy spirit that's why you're so confused people out there in the audience whoever's
00:06:34watching gonna be confused gonna write all this essay for nothing's not gonna help you in your real
00:06:39life it's just for show oh one of my greatest one of the greatest enemies to purpose is not failure but
00:06:46i'm settling in my purpose i don't feel like i'm selling you know why my purposes was given to me
00:06:51by my assignment from the lord
00:06:56so i don't know what you're talking about and if you knew your assignment from the lord what he's
00:07:00saying would make any sense because you'd be like what do you mean i'm settling i have my
00:07:02assignment from the lord our god so no i'm not condition it's a choice mediocrity is not a condition
00:07:12it's a choice can you tell me what does that mean and what does it look like show me a picture
00:07:17how could someone be doing something mediocre mediocre if that's all they know how to do and
00:07:24what are you talking about so you see that what i'm doing is mediocre no you can be because god told
00:07:29me to do this so who is he talking to the confused one the lukewarm one who's like yeah i'm mediocre is
00:07:35not a condition okay but how's that pertaining to your life tell me what he means you can't because
00:07:40it sounds stupid mediocrity is not a condition it's a choice i don't choose to be mediocre
00:07:48i'm doing my best i'm getting up i'm going to work i'm taking care of my family how is someone living
00:07:54mediocre lee they're not he's just saying that because he's not caught the call to teach you anything
00:08:00goodbye critique is not a condition it's a choice and when you deliberately choose not to maximize
00:08:07what god gave you that's not humility it's not wisdom it's called disobedience see he's off
00:08:16bye you're done see that's why he's not called doesn't make any sense i don't care how much
00:08:22diction you have in your words uh does it matter it's about love see god doesn't need my intelligence
00:08:31i could just sit here and god just takes over why and it's the truth why because i'm learning too as
00:08:36i sit here with you i'm learning from the holy spirit not perfect god told me it's my assignment
00:08:42and he's going to tell the truth through me through the holy spirit for us to hear
00:08:46that don't make no sense you tell me that someone's going through life not giving their all
00:08:49who are you talking to not not the child of god because we're doing our best because we're already
00:08:56being loved by god so why wouldn't i get my best why wouldn't i i'm being loved on by the lord so why
00:09:03would i make a choice to not do my best doesn't make any sense whenever you deliberately choose not
00:09:09to maximize what god called you that's called disobedience because god doesn't call us to be
00:09:15comfortable you had to be here last week for this he calls us to be consecrated
00:09:27i'm very comfortable with the lord so that's a lie consecrated mean god pulls you out sets you apart
00:09:36for his specific specific specific use that's a joke he's playing preacher passer from some movie
00:09:49pulls you out wait no he pulls you out for his specific use like stop it
00:09:58it looks crazy god didn't have to pull me out i was already sitting here laughing at funny videos and
00:10:11he said now do that video and the holy spirit spoke out see how god just takes over he does things smooth
00:10:21i'm just laughing have fun no funny videos when they do like funny pranks stuff like that
00:10:25like um i was just laughing at them having fun something good and he was just like he pointed
00:10:34it to two videos while i was in bed and i said and he said those two videos you do next and i said
00:10:41okay lord and i was like you know i asked god i was like me like he was like yes
00:10:48and i did it and when i sat here the holy spirit said you're a false prophet sit down shut up
00:10:54this to the word of the lord you're not called pastor mike because you're not a pastor you don't
00:10:59have what you need in your backpack to talk to children of god he loves you he wants you to be
00:11:04what makes you happy this is not what brings you happiness and joy it's like a job for him he's like
00:11:09playing it you know doing all that for what you would never see jesus doing that why because
00:11:16god is love when you sit down your children and talk to them you don't do that they'll be like
00:11:20what's wrong with you what's wrong with you you tossed them from love why why because you want
00:11:30them to get it right he's put on an act or a show or something goodbye you were here last the last one
00:11:37he was doing all these acting and voices goodbye and whenever god sees someone using you for other than
00:11:44what he called you god intervenes you're not gonna like me for the second week in a row but it's cool
00:11:49i mean intervene like saying this like your false prophet or someone telling you hey that doesn't
00:11:54sound like god that's how you may intervene or he may tell you sit down be quiet or he may tell you
00:12:00don't do that because you're not talking to him but he will give you a red flag someone saying you know
00:12:06that doesn't sound like god or that doesn't sound right or someone may say something you may not like
00:12:13it because you have a demon with you like someone's telling you you shouldn't do that sin
00:12:18you don't like you get attitude that's a demon i told them the right thing but they don't listen that's
00:12:24the demon it's not they're you know they have a demon with them so they get irritated about the
00:12:29stuff like that but they have to change they have to repent for their sins once you get delivered god
00:12:34will deliver you from the demons that's on you and you'll be free you it's like you'll be free you'll see
00:12:40oh that doesn't make me happy it's not for the body of christ i'm out of place this makes me happy
00:12:45this brings me joy relationship didn't fail because of you of them it failed because of him
00:12:51god knew you being with them would cause you to settle for less than what i called you to be
00:12:56and only three people gonna say amen when god brings two people together
00:13:00you can just say they're stuck because they're stuck in love
00:13:03love right he loves us he wouldn't bring you together with someone who rejects you
00:13:09god doesn't make anything fail for him to say god made you to fail no that's demons
00:13:16god doesn't mix with evil trying to say that oh because you're in an evil toxic relationship it failed
00:13:20no the demons make it fail there's no love there it's toxic you may feel like stuck in a bad way
00:13:30but when god does something you love being together you're stuck in a good way you're in love
00:13:39you both love the lord so what's he talking about two people in the balcony four people in the chat and
00:13:46one person in overflow you can call me a lot of things call me ugly call me arrogant call me whatever
00:13:51you want but it's one thing you will never call me a settler i am allergic to average i am allergic to
00:13:57mediocrity so what is he doing he's talking about his self his own thoughts how he feels about himself
00:14:03why because he's comparing himself to you why you're not perfect
00:14:14instead of telling me how good god has been to you in your relationship he wants to tell you that
00:14:18he's not a settler like you he doesn't deal with mediocrity like you but you're the one that's taking
00:14:23care of him you're the one giving him tithes and offerings giving his lifestyle now he can get up
00:14:28there and tell you that he's not mediocre but you're the one who's paying his bills isn't that
00:14:32funny sounds like satan to me you don't have to have nothing to be around me but you at least got to
00:14:38want something and i came to preach to three people early this morning who can declare all this week
00:14:42something my spirit been telling me it's so much more in store for no i'm great i'm doing great thank you
00:14:49god's taking care of me
00:14:54i have more than enough already
00:14:58i don't have to go get seconds because god fills me up on the first plate
00:15:02so we're talking about the holy spirit with me makes me what content the demon makes you greedy i want
00:15:07more more more more no i need a bigger house i need four or five cars i need 50 acres
00:15:15i need more than one person
00:15:22goodbye sounds like satan to me stop trying to compete with the children of god me that's why
00:15:29my job is irritating me that's why my house starting to feel small that's why my face
00:15:34see the holy spirit's ahead of him is exceeding my bank account because something in me is saying
00:15:39there has to be more and what does that sound like someone who doesn't have the holy spirit
00:15:45god takes away that feeling of void something's missing no it's not not the holy spirit i feel great
00:15:50wonderful
00:15:54skipping running happy that's how i feel and the devil can take that because when he asked me a question i
00:16:04say or if you say the name of jesus i do it all day long when i have a thought that's not good evil
00:16:13illegal perversion any kind of things you think this questions from demons you say
00:16:18if you say the name of jesus and you run to the lord or if you say the name of jesus
00:16:25do it in your mind if you're around people because
00:16:28saying can still ask your question to take your eyes off god and you say how big you say the name
00:16:34of jesus and you keep doing it forever until you take your last breath and you run to the lord
00:16:42he does not expect perfection can you put this in notes but he does expect progress
00:16:48michael he does not expect perfection but he does expect show me in the word
00:16:53show me
00:17:00progress i said this every year it's certain things i'm going to say every year i do my best to inculcate
00:17:05you god gives you a choice to believe in him or not
00:17:10that's the relationship
00:17:13progress where i'm already saved so show me in the word where it says that god expects progress
00:17:18show me but he won't because he's not going to be able to interpret it with as much knowledge as
00:17:22possible okay there is right this is not on the screen no neutrality in christianity
00:17:28please hear me some of y'all looking at me like pastor that's good some of y'all looking at me
00:17:31like pastor that's deep some of y'all looking at me like spell neutrality put your hand up if that
00:17:34was you i don't know how to spell it either i just know how to say it just do like i do when i
00:17:38don't know how to spell something put in a t there is no neutrality in christianity all right
00:17:44get in your car get in your car okay do me a favor get in your car boom all right close the door
00:17:47boom all right now put your seatbelt on whoosh okay all right that's the number one mistake with christians
00:17:51you get in your car you put your seatbelt on did you know a lot of people across the world die
00:17:55every year while wearing a seatbelt which means it's possible to be safe and still miss it and so
00:18:03the spirit of neutrality say that better michael i don't have to worry about a seatbelt i'll wear it
00:18:11but that's not what's going to save my life
00:18:12you can die in your own house so what are you talking about god saves my life
00:18:22he is protecting me from myself so what are you talking about you can make a mistake and do
00:18:28something like touch an outlet
00:18:32or anything so what are you talking about god protects me the spirit of neutrality prioritizes comfort
00:18:40over calling so you put your seatbelt on boom okay you put your key in the ignition okay all
00:18:45right now do me a favor the first thing you become once you get going is what part
00:18:50if you want to go forward you put it in what if you want to go back you put it in do me a favor
00:18:55what's the use of neutral will neutral make you go forward or will neutral make you go backwards it
00:19:02depends on the surface you own and if your circle and your environment is a surface if everybody around
00:19:08you're going backwards exactly nothing's happening goodbye goodbye
00:19:17i don't care what's going on if jesus is asleep on the boat i can go to sleep too
00:19:25why because god controls everything around me whatever's going on i can walk straight through
00:19:31it if god told me to walk straight through it nothing's gonna touch me what are you talking about
00:19:35in neutral you're gonna do what they do but if you hanging with people who going forward
00:19:42and what i'm trying to get you to realize is too many people
00:19:48i have to watch y'all because y'all are making me preach too many people who call themselves christian
00:19:53are in neutral and god is saying i do not need perfection but i do desire progress and when you
00:20:00know better but you know better and you choose to stay small that is not just a missed opportunity
00:20:08it's called a sin
00:20:11why is it important that he and show that he shows the word
00:20:15why is that important now he did show a part then it disappeared he's not really showing on the back
00:20:21but he can interpret it because he's trying to make his own metaphors about it you don't have to do
00:20:25that with the holy spirit the holy spirit is going to tell you the truth not his metaphors
00:20:31i'll be setting y'all up boy
00:20:37see i'm gonna say this again when you know better and you choose to stay small
00:20:41it's not just called a missed opportunity it's called a sin if i'm in mcdonald's drive-through and
00:20:47holy spirit convicts me to pray with the lady in the window and i say to myself i don't know this lady
00:20:51i'm not gonna do that and i keep going i didn't miss an opportunity i was disobedient to the spirit
00:20:58by default that makes that a sex ain't the only thing that's gonna send you to hell y'all don't
00:21:03like me today y'all don't like me today no this past week at bible study we crept up on something
00:21:07that shifted the whole atmosphere we had no idea we was gonna creep into it it was something called
00:21:11the spirit of anticipation and anticipation is a faith posture where you're not just believing god
00:21:16will do it it's behaving michael like it already has it's not just believing that god will do it
00:21:22it's behaving like he already has and when we tiptoe into the corridors of today's text we find
00:21:28ourselves situated and acculturated in revelation and it is in revelation chapter 3 verses 15-16
00:21:32that the text tells us i know your deeds they are neither cold nor hot i wish you were either one
00:21:39or the other so because you are lukewarm neither hot nor cold i am about to spit you out of my mouth
00:21:43this message is spoken by jesus himself to the church i need you to catch this now it's critical
00:21:50why a wealthy self-sufficient city look at what they had they had money they had status they had
00:21:55resources i'm gonna say it again they have money they had status they had resources i'm gonna say
00:21:59it again they drove nice they ate nice they live nice i'm gonna say it again they live over the
00:22:03mountain they vacation where they want to they drove what they want to drive but they didn't have
00:22:07spiritual fire i'm gonna say this only three y'all gonna mess with me when i say this what's
00:22:11finished ruin many of our lives is cosmetic christianity it's this idea that you can be
00:22:16all regular as you want to be but when you step outside the house you put your faith on notice
00:22:20i didn't say your face i said you're fake on no it is cosmetic christianity no you're not blessed
00:22:26because of what you drive you're not blessed because of where you live hear me money status
00:22:30resources influence it's not the barometer for your faith it is something called spiritual fire
00:22:36please put the cno spiritual fire is the evidence of a divine encounter michael spiritual fire is
00:22:43the evidence of a divine he just called his own name goodbye
00:22:51the holy spirit is going to speak the truth okay him saying that you have to put on evidence
00:22:55of divine encounter you can't fake that what can you put it on either you got it or you don't either
00:23:00you saved or you're not see he won't make it plain because why he's trying to make it seem like
00:23:04it's you know more deep than that but it's very simple you have to accept jesus as your lord and
00:23:09your savior you have to believe in your heart confess with your mouth that jesus is lord and
00:23:14you will be saved you don't have to pretend and have to put on a spiritual fire that's not there and
00:23:19be phony and fake oh i have to put on my spiritual fire probably the house goodbye you can't fake that
00:23:26it has to be something that's who that's in you which is given to you by the holy spirit god gives you that
00:23:32fine encounter in the scripture fire is often a symbol of you want to take good notes today here
00:23:36we go fire is often a symbol of scripture fire is often a symbol of god's presence exodus 3 the
00:23:43burning bush god's power acts two tongues of the fire of the pentecost god's purity malachi refining fire

00:25:05burn leaves but my hood ain't said throw your hands up right there see the neighborhood i grew up in
00:25:10at any given moment you would see somebody outside raking leaves and then 20 minutes later you would
00:25:14just see everybody standing there looking at them because whatever fire touches
00:25:17it consumes but when we see god michael show up at fire in the burning bush watch this he's fire
00:25:25inside of a bush but the bush is not consumed i'm gonna say it again the bush should be burning up
00:25:33because whatever what is he gonna take this to we don't know because first he was saying something
00:25:39about i'm forgetting because he has a demon with him fire touches it consumes pmj why doesn't the bush
00:25:48consume it's because the bush wasn't trying to be anything other than a bush the bush knew as long
00:25:54if i'd be a bush and let god do what he's doing i'm gonna be okay that's why you have to stop being jealous
00:26:00hear what he's saying
00:26:04i'm not a bush so me and the bush he's trying to make us have something in common
00:26:12maybe he'll bring up the fig tree too who knows
00:26:18but god made the bush so and god made me he can dwell in both of us at the same time so what are you
00:26:27talking about tell me something tell me something because the holy spirit is not with you of what
00:26:31you see them carrying what they carry could possibly consume you i just need you to reach over that
00:26:38neighbor and high five another neighbor and tell them don't covet what i'm carrying my oil may be too
00:26:42heavy for you my favor may be too draining to you don't be jealous don't be jealous
00:26:48this is what he's teaching the children of god don't covet but i thought you're talking about
00:26:53how the bush god is inside god didn't burn up the bush but i have to walk out my house
00:26:59with the fire be quiet it's all over the place my anointing may have you depressed because i was called
00:27:07why would a blessing from god my assignment have you depressed it's not your desire it's not your
00:27:13assignment your assignment fits you like a glove so what is he saying he's saying that you go oh
00:27:19people are coveting what you your desire no they don't they don't want what you want
00:27:24give me two people who want the same exact thing no they don't it may look the same on the outside when
00:27:29look at them but god knows their desire within what's their happily ever after only god knows that
00:27:35thing and when you watch the false prophet you're blocked everything he says all over is scattered
00:27:38all over places not the holy spirit god is in order everything he's saying just went from left to
00:27:42right don't be jealous walk out the house with fire god didn't consume the bush where else is this
00:27:48going it's trash this sermon because he has a demon with him he's not called by god the holy spirit
00:27:53will let him say things like this and i give you clarity because god is clarity you will know
00:27:58exactly what what we're talking about what he's talking about and this is crazy fire exodus 3 put
00:28:04this in your notes it's god's presence acts chapter 2 fire is god's power when the fire descended at
00:28:09pentecost on the tongue they begin to speak in tones malachi 3 the fire is god's purity it's like a
00:28:15refining fire jeremiah 20 i'm oh we don't have a baptist sunday one sunday what is these wonderful
00:28:22things about the lord have to do with someone being jealous of you exactly he has to put something
00:28:26evil in there it may look like a little thing but it's not why because it's satan because this new
00:28:33school church we got i'll be having to work too hard if i was at my if this was rock city missionary
00:28:38baptist church all i would have to say is number one fire is god's presence it doesn't matter
00:28:45what building you're in it doesn't matter if i said the same thing in front of a whole auditorium
00:28:52full of people or just talking to one person god is not playing it wouldn't matter why why because one
00:29:02is just as important as a million we're god's children it doesn't matter how many people
00:29:08gather around you which means you're working too hard you're working fake you fake worker you're not
00:29:12even supposed to be here you're not supposed to even you hired yourself you walked on the grounds
00:29:16put on this you know backpack that does not belong to you you got the wrong one on buddy okay as you
00:29:23can see you're struggling that's why you feel like you're working when god gives you a backpack and your
00:29:28assignment it fits you it's your talents it's your desire everything's wrapped up in one they all work
00:29:34together it brings you joy and happiness so there what you're saying is that he just confessed that this is
00:29:39not for him number two fire is god's power uh number three fire is god's purity but i like the fourth
00:29:49thing because jeremiah said it's like so he's just playing with god that's why god's telling you all
00:29:56as a false teacher false prophet you can't play with god turning on different personas this is the third
00:30:02person to turn on different personas and well that he has a demon with him he's not saved that's why he
00:30:08he can do that he doesn't out afraid that he's offending the lord you should be humble you should
00:30:15be obedient and this is not your assignment and as you can see this is why he's trying to entertain
00:30:19you not teach you because he doesn't love you shut up stop so so look at this it's god's presence
00:30:27number one number two what is it god's power no no do me a favor in your notes i'll be look whenever
00:30:31you tag me in your notes i actually read them okay this is important because you just can't say fire is
00:30:35his presence whose presence so fire is god's presence number two according to exodus three
00:30:39scripture is important my generation and the generation after me don't know word
00:30:43we quoting what we heard and you can't live
00:30:47sir i know you're not talking about that when you just did some abbreviations here
00:30:53instead of just doing one at a time and interpreting it what's the rush because you don't love them
00:30:58of a quoted scripture you know the word so so you got to say fire according to exodus three is god's
00:31:04presence fire according to acts chapter two is god's power fire according to malachi chapter three
00:31:10is god's purity and fire according to jeremiah 20 is god's passion spiritual fire is the internal
00:31:17ignition of divine purpose fueled by intimacy with god fire represents passion listen to me that produces
00:31:26movement some of us are cool with being average because we don't have fire fire is not quiet it burns how
00:31:35are you gonna make someone go get it what do i go get it at pastor you have to be saved to have the holy
00:31:43spirit that's the only thing that's your business it's how you're loving god he's trying to tell you these
00:31:49are how i don't know he's just trying to find things about god and say this is what you need to
00:31:55do i can't do what god does it god is happening to me i can't happen to god like you know you can run
00:32:01after god and say lord i will you know and pray and pray and pray and wait for him wait to hear his
00:32:05voice but he does things on his time it moves though it transforms what it touches when you got spiritual
00:32:12fire you don't just talk about god you start to look like god love like god live like god this
00:32:19ain't emotional hype i'm not telling you i want you on fire that's the problem with church right
00:32:23now we've said stuff for years but then now we take it out of context i need the church on fire
00:32:27you think that mean excited excitement put this in your notes it's not on the screen we don't figure
00:32:31it out together those are some nice notes wow excitement and passion look alike but they ain't the same
00:32:36excitement and passion look alike but they're not the same excitement needs something to happen
00:32:46i get excited when i'm at a restaurant and i see them come out the back
00:32:53and it's like your discernment kick on and you can know that's my food right there
00:32:57i get excited when i finally sign and get that car and they pull it around to the front after they
00:33:01don't watched it and it got that new car smell then you get in the car and you get off girl
00:33:06just pick me up something new now i'm gonna come by there i get excited with my check drop
00:33:11till the bills come out who get excited won't pay on thursday oh we get paid tomorrow
00:33:16who'll be excited and then all of a sudden apple take their stuff getting certain bills come out
00:33:21and then now you what ain't excited no more see the reason excitement and passion ain't the same
00:33:24it's because excitement needs something but then disappointment can take it passion
00:33:29is fuel i'm gonna read this to you what is it fueled by pm day i need you to catch this it is fueled
00:33:34see what he's teaching doesn't matter oh my passion okay it's fueled by okay yeah house is helping my
00:33:41life it's not just fluff by an internal combustion what does that mean pmj that produces external obedience
00:33:53excitement is when you're done can you tell me what calmness is and peace and then
00:33:58relaxation and um i don't know abundance and he's gonna just tell you what it is that's it that's
00:34:06this whole sermon from what happens on the outside passion is stirred from what's happening on the
00:34:14inside and this is why you can chase stuff that you're passionate about even when they produce nothing
00:34:19you can touch i just said he's just gonna tell you these things that lead off a cliff it's not
00:34:28gonna help you in your life you're gonna forget about it that's on the three of y'all that's for
00:34:31seven entrepreneurs who passionate about your business and passionate about your future and
00:34:35passionate about your purpose yet it ain't producing no money so when people around you see it they can't
00:34:39figure out why you so passionate about it because when they look at it if it ain't give me this is his
00:34:43intelligence preaching but he's not he's not a preacher instead of hearing the holy spirit they
00:34:50have to hear him tell you give you a lips of lit lit a list of vocabulary words and what they mean
00:34:57and now he's going to go off into some stupid fantasy story you nothing why are you excited about
00:35:02it i'm not excited about it i'm passionate about it meaning if i win i'm gonna be on fire but even if i
00:35:06lose i'm gonna be on y'all don't like me today hear me when i say this why is this important pmj because
00:35:13they got everything they could ever want but no spiritual fire so what does spiritual fire look
00:35:17like in the life of a believer today pmj here it is you know consistent prayer not just prayer in a
00:35:23crisis here's how i want you to put in your note consistent pair consistent prayer versus crisis
00:35:28prayer some of us are a crisis prayer warrior you only pray with something wrong if you thought about
00:35:35it right now pmd ain't trying to trip i ain't really played since my last problem
00:35:39and if i'm a crisis prayer warrior and the only time i talk to god is when they're a problem
00:35:45maybe that's why god just sent you a problem
00:35:51god doesn't send problems that's that's the devil
00:35:56if i have problems i have a demon
00:36:01things are being stalled or held up that's a demon i did something's wrong because with god things are
00:36:07smooth so what are you talking about if you won't come to me i'll make you run to me
00:36:17my god no no so what does spiritual fire look like are you taking good notes number one consistent
00:36:22prayer number two conviction not convenience
00:36:26conviction is a good thing conviction is a good thing conviction is proof that the holy spirit is
00:36:30still at work in your life and i don't want you out here cussing and acting a fool and living wild and
00:36:35do whatever you want to do no but you want to know what i do thank god for that conviction i thank god
00:36:40that when you do slip up and cuss god forgive me that's conviction that when you do do wrong
00:36:45you should not be cussing with the holy spirit
00:36:50period if you're cussing you need to repent and pray to the lord about that because that's a demon it's a
00:36:59split tongue it means that you have a demon that's it you actually don't believe in god because if you believe in god
00:37:09you'll hold your tongue
00:37:13the holy spirit will deliver you from it that's in deliverance happens in the relationship
00:37:18when you begin a relationship with someone you don't get all the benefits of them right then
00:37:30when you get the benefits of course after marriage the physical benefits but you get the personality
00:37:38benefits right and you get to learn the person and you get to have fun with them then you may have
00:37:43things that you guys start to work out in a relationship you guys start to be flexible to
00:37:49each other you get to know the person same thing with god you get to know him and then
00:37:53he delivers you from something you're in a relationship your relationship you're in a relationship
00:37:59he delivers you for something else
00:38:04and i have to keep running to god
00:38:06and that's what you have to do too
00:38:12that's conviction number three obedience not just opinion
00:38:17obedience obedience number four hunger for god's word
00:38:23when i tell you when i tell my friends stuff like when i tell pastors i know man how things
00:38:26going at rock city this is what i've been saying lately hey we don't fight
00:38:29a lot of people coming about that no no hear me when i say this no no it ain't about that no it's
00:38:32because i'm feeling what i feel on wednesday on sunday no i wake up every morning not get on
00:38:38devo energy and i'm seeing people on devo energy every morning on fire it is a hunger
00:38:45for the word of god i'm gonna say that again it is the hunger i want to put that back
00:38:49fake tongues
00:38:53speaking in tongues is a time when i'm in prayer with the lord
00:38:58not for what i'm teaching the holy spirit doesn't interrupt the holy spirit
00:39:01it doesn't make any sense god is in order so he just spoke up fake tongues so you know he's a
00:39:08false prophet i'm gonna see that really really good okay hunger for the word of god not just sunday
00:39:13sermons i want to say something real good he's just hustling talk about god i'm not god i'm gonna
00:39:22say that again i talk and teach about god but i am not god please stop coming to my church if you are
00:39:28more more excited to hear from me than to hear from him don't do that to me i'm gonna say that
00:39:34again please stop coming to my church if you are more excited to hear because that's what you're
00:39:41trying to get the the demons attention some people think that they can do what they want to do and not
00:39:49have to deal with the consequences which is demons you cannot i don't care if you're on a famous stage
00:39:56or if you're doing it and it's just one person watching you it's a demon
00:40:04i'm doing this for god but god didn't tell you to do that though so you have a demon with you
00:40:08but people like me so i don't tell you to do it it's just demons watching you
00:40:14you're being disobedient he thinks that people gathered around him and clapping is a good thing no it's not
00:40:19it's just demons they're gonna help you go to hell you can't take money with you nowhere it's just trash
00:40:33it's not going to heaven
00:40:37you can't take none of this stuff this stuff is coming to pass all this stuff is going back
00:40:41to where it came from dirt everything will be back to where it was dirt you're gonna be with the lord or not
00:40:48being obedient
00:40:52you may do a business and people people are buying it it's popular but god said that's not your
00:40:57assignment so what you're blocked from your desire
00:41:03money does not equal desire something will be missing in your life your desire will be missing
00:41:08because you're not being obedient to god in your assignment
00:41:11you're not pleasing god so who cares for everybody else hear from me then you ought to hear from god
00:41:18that is not flattering to me that does not make me feel good on the inside you want to know why because
00:41:22if you are running no because it shows that you're not on your assignment
00:41:26that's why he don't like it they want to get his autograph and stuff like that they want to be around
00:41:31you because it's demons it's proving to him that they're demonic they're only around you because
00:41:36they may be attracted to you or they like you you're popular that's it they don't see
00:41:39you as a real preacher a teacher because you're not it's just demons he's being treated like he's
00:41:46oh you're the famous person but he wants to get this kind of he thinks they're going to treat him
00:41:50like a prophet teacher but you're not they're just demons they know you're a liar they know you're fake
00:41:53they know demons know that you're false that's why they surround you the holy spirit can move in a small
00:42:00church in a small town and he's appointed and he has only a small congregation of 150 people
00:42:06and that's enough don't need no why wide range millions of people different states countries
00:42:13watching you then you're gonna tell them oh no don't look at me like that when god didn't call you
00:42:20if god called you and that was happening that's good that's fine they're getting saved it's not
00:42:24about you anyway it's about the body of christ so now you mad because demons are approaching you
00:42:29acting demon like goodbye more than you run to god that makes me god's opposition so then god will
00:42:36shut me down so you can that's why i got pointed at your video because you are being shut down you're
00:42:43blocked whatever your desires you're not getting the demons are showing you that they're demons watching
00:42:46you so i brought it up he's getting demon people around him
00:42:52people who don't who don't care if he reads the word or not they just want to be around him
00:43:01and they're not serving god they're serving him because he's a false prophet be back in the place
00:43:07he needs to be in your life i can be your preacher i can be your pastor i can be your shepherd i can be
00:43:11your teacher but i can't be but you're not though you're not those things you're out of order oh god
00:43:17when you're out of order you're not going to get that understanding because you're not actually
00:43:24the people around you aren't actually saved they're demons if they were saved they would treat you like
00:43:29you were a prophet a teacher and they respect your boundary but there is no boundaries because you're
00:43:33false get it am i preaching to anybody that's why my name ain't on the building it don't say rock city
00:43:39church michael d mcclose senior pastor my name ain't on the building this is his church and what i've
00:43:43discovered is in this 21st century christendom we are stopped becoming preachers and becoming
00:43:47famous artists we are becoming public figures and everybody's worried about what my followers
00:43:52but you are artists maybe that's you know i don't know your um your assignment but he is a music artist
00:44:02so because you're not in order with god you get demon stuff happening to you whatever that demonic
00:44:08stuff he's talking about that he doesn't like you're not in order so what did you think
00:44:13either you're gonna be saved and if i put the holy ghost and be in your assignment or you're
00:44:17gonna get all that demon stuff over there that's what he's getting that's kind of attention he's
00:44:21getting like what my views look like what my members look like what my money look like and
00:44:25what i discovered is god is not looking for who can say it better he's looking for somebody who can
00:44:30be a lifter because the words that if i might go when i be lifted up people when you take on the
00:44:38backpack of teaching god's children why do it why even do it if you're not called for attention that's
00:44:45it he wants attention he got it from demons because god did not give you what you need to teach
00:44:52everything he's saying all that is none of our business you know why because not the holy spirit
00:44:57he wants to tell us but god let him so god can point and say he knows he's not called
00:45:02now he's he doesn't like that people are coming at him like a demon because he got a demon with him
00:45:07that's why all kinds of demonic stuff happening behind the scenes he's saying he doesn't like it
00:45:13but you put yourself in that predicament why because you're not called by god and then you
00:45:17got a bunch of demons coming after you trying to be with you all kind of demonic stuff coming to this
00:45:23church because i preach that good they're coming to this church because it's a room full of people who
00:45:27are lifting them up now i know this ain't new school but in the old school church grandma would
00:45:31have said i wonder will you help me lift jesus and i need 30 seconds of people who can say i didn't
00:45:36come here for no pmj i didn't come here to be seen i came to get away
00:45:46just let somebody tell them i'm hungry that's the wrong somebody tell somebody tell them i'm hungry
00:45:51touch somebody else tell them i'm hungry touch somebody else tell them i'm hungry
00:45:54tell somebody else and tell them i'm hungry touch somebody tell them i'm hungry tell somebody i'm
00:45:58hungry tell them i'm what you be doing all week i don't see you no more well on sunday i'll be eating
00:46:04to work on monday and tuesday keep all energy eating to work on wednesday all access eating to work
00:46:09thursday friday people anything eating to work on saturday i'm waiting on the door to open so on sunday
00:46:17i'm hungry now put this thing in notes lastly put this in a note for the next sermon if i'm hungry
00:46:23i need discernment why do i need discernment you ready for this okay you ready put if i'm hungry
00:46:28i need discernment to know what's healthy and what's junk michael what's healthy and what's junk
00:46:40goodbye sir okay the holy spirit discerns you as a false teacher false prophet not called by god
00:46:47does it need to write it down because it's happening in real time
00:46:55to the holy spirit i don't need to write notes or anything like that why because holy spirit's
00:46:59teaching me in my daily walk he has to read the word yes and guess what god tells me something new
00:47:06about it so that's going to help me sometimes to go oh wow thank you lord oh okay he's he's having a
00:47:15relationship with me so me being hungry is unnecessary because i'm actually having a
00:47:21relationship and he's filling me up so what are you talking about me hear me okay i don't know i gotta
00:47:29get used to my church being out here on valleydale road with all of these wealthy members you know all
00:47:33of y'all are wealthy y'all don't even know when to say i receive it y'all laughing i'm like that in my
00:47:38pocket i receive so now that we're out in valleydale road out here with all of you wealthy members
00:47:45i i i i just don't know if y'all understand me no more me being from ensley and you being out
00:47:50here with all this wealth i know when you get hungry you just eat see but being where i'm from
00:47:54in the urban community my mama would take us places i'm gonna get in trouble i'm gonna start some
00:47:59family mess right here okay on thanksgiving we would wake up my mama would get us dressed put vaseline
00:48:05all over our face okay all right then we would have to sit on the couch so we mess our clothes up
00:48:10and she would tell us in the car because what back in the day this is how they did it mama and the
00:48:13kids when they got in the car and daddy would be locking up the house he would come so then before
00:48:16he got in the car mama would say hey when we get to your grandma house which is my daddy's mama don't
00:48:19eat nothing grandmama i know you watch church but i'm gonna tell you she would say don't eat
00:48:24nothing you know his mama can't cook i'm sorry family mess right there okay you know they can't cook
00:48:30everybody just bringing food and they just be letting everybody bring food i ain't seen a warmer
00:48:33and it's just food on the thing it should be food on the counter it wasn't no warmers no burners you
00:48:36don't know when it got set there you just get there and they were tearing it up keep in the car
00:48:39like we get over here your daddy going like it's so good this is what he grew up on don't touch it
00:48:42when we get to my mama house y'all can eat all right but here's our problem we was pastor's kids
00:48:47so when you back in the day see this is why i need an old school church back in the day the pastor
00:48:51would visit members church on holiday they house on holiday so we would go to samuels house boom then we
00:48:56would go to artist jenkins house boom then we go to the maize house boom then we go to all these houses
00:49:00then we go to this mama house so by the fifth house me and d in the car like bro i'm hungry
00:49:05i'm hungry and then d would be over there staring at the table because he was the child who would
00:49:08say my mama said i can't eat at y'all house so my mama would keep d close and we sitting there
00:49:15then my dad would like y'all better eat something we cool we just go outside play football because
00:49:18my mama taught me a very valuable lesson at 11. you can't eat at everybody's table
00:49:25pastor mike what that got to do with the message you can't be watching 25 different youtube sermons
00:49:29and figure you're gonna be healthy you don't know if that's fullness
00:49:38god's gonna make them confess who they are it's gonna be in their own way
00:49:43why because talking about itself he a false prophet false teacher he's just doing it for entertainment
00:49:48he he walks into made himself up a teacher up a prophet but he's not he's not called by god you have to be
00:49:55called by god god chooses his prophets and his teachers why could you understand that why are
00:50:04you trying to make money off the children of god that's all it's about if there was no money and
00:50:08they did it for free they wouldn't do it why because the care was saying you could be a rich pastor like
00:50:16these other false prophets and they got tricked because why it's all fake oh junk
00:50:24find you a teacher find you a rabbi find you a prophet who speaks to your life y'all don't hear
00:50:30me in here so i'm not sick because i ate this at this house oh god is so good and he is so funny too
00:50:39because they'll be talking about themselves
00:50:46and they're not even being obedient they're trying to tell you what to do but they're not being obedient
00:50:51they ate this at this house i gotta have hunger for the work here's another one i need boldness in

00:52:25assignment ask god in your relationship there in your assignment is where you tell people how good god is

00:53:31pastor mike can i be honest who's lost a passion in a fire pastor mike what kills fire i tell you
00:53:36it's right on your screen number one here's what kills fire compromise
00:53:43i haven't even got out my intro yet y'all compromise compromise causes slow leaks of holiness
00:53:49that's heavy slow leaks of holy holiness see compromise starts with something simple and it grows to
00:53:55something something drastic compromise will start with just because you're saved doesn't make your
00:54:01preacher or pastor now it's kind of it's a trick because they'll try to they'll be organized and
00:54:07they're like this is how the word is supposed to be taught no it's not supposed to be taught from love
00:54:10and obedience from god why because you'll be speaking to your audience this is no college class
00:54:14college course bible school that doesn't make you a pastor or preacher i don't care if all your poor
00:54:19grandfathers were a preacher a pastor they're not called by god they false too
00:54:26that doesn't mean that you should be one because your your daddy was one your daddy's daddy was one
00:54:30your daddy's daddy's daddies was one that doesn't make you a preacher god calls you
00:54:41that doesn't give you a pass to ignore god and what he calls you to be in your assignment
00:54:45i'm a preacher's kid so that makes me a preacher no it don't does not qualify you only god can do that
00:54:59goodbye smile and end with an affair
00:55:04compromise will start with the i'll just watch online this week and end with the i ain't watched
00:55:09or been there in six months you want a danger of compromise you don't realize you've done it
00:55:16till you feel it i'm preaching today i'm i'm preaching today i'm gonna get in the portal i'm
00:55:20gonna get in the trance ask god first before you go sit on anyone trying to teach you the word of god
00:55:25they may have a demon on them be a false prophet ask god first appoint it themselves purport if y'all
00:55:31don't have a church with me y'all don't see me on espn a second second second time oh we don't
00:55:35root you on and clap for you and that demon so you can't sit there and preach to a quiet group
00:55:43so they can't they they can't discern that you have a demon on you if someone has to put on a show
00:55:50get up and leave god doesn't need to be your entertainment and that's it we're not going
00:55:56houston in a minute no compromise starts you don't feel it you don't recognize you compromise till you feel
00:56:01it i ain't know i got that when i look back at pictures this time last year i was preparing for
00:56:08the tour oh my god i was eating right no meat no carbs i'm walking on the treadmill singing
00:56:16you got it you got it it's gonna be 45 minutes 30 times oh no i'm gonna be ready when i get oh my
00:56:23god i ain't know till two weeks ago when i was like what terrell what a shirt i wrote in cincinnati
00:56:30now i won't even button the baggy jeans become skinny jeans some people they have like a charisma
00:56:37with people they're people people they're people person like a lot of these false prophets
00:56:45they're they all have the same kind of traits where they're like the center of attention
00:56:48captivate you or something but it's not the holy spirit because the holy spirit is not your
00:56:55entertainment you're there to receive a word from the lord and show him love and honor and give you
00:57:05give your time to him not to the person on stage but to give your time to the lord to praise him
00:57:11not speak he he and haha the whole time through
00:57:21oh i have to clap for you i have to oh you need to wake up and clap for me no no because you're not
00:57:27actually preaching you just roll down some notes and now you're gonna tell these funky stories in
00:57:31between like we're at like we're at the after church barbecue which is fine to do it there but
00:57:36while we're in church it's about the lord not about you trying to make me laugh
00:57:41you don't know till you know i'm sitting back like oh my god and i can remember the day i
00:57:46compromised i remember and i don't mind a good laugh but this is god we're talking about
00:57:54and they don't take god seriously anymore because they're sitting there false prophets they think
00:57:57it's a joke when it's true when you hear them horns go off you're looking crazy because jesus is coming
00:58:03back and he's not playing if your heart is not with him you'll be left behind you can't be watching false
00:58:08prophecy or be under a false teacher you will not be saved they have a demon with them and the demon
00:58:15sees that you're watching and they're coming to your life your life goes down you have to run to the
00:58:19lord and be delivered from that from watching false prophecy believing in a prophet that's not called by
00:58:26god to teach you the word does not have the holy spirit and that they're taking your eyes off god
00:58:33thinking he's a joke playing trying to make everything funny they're like comedians we had
00:58:39just finished the atlanta show the first half of the tour was over we had just finished that tour was
00:58:42so much it was so taxing that night i was like look man i'm done with the tour bring me some meat
00:58:47we left went directly to wendy's
00:58:51but next day i took the whole family to universal studios so in orlando guess what i was doing eating
00:58:56came out of that guess what i was doing and then it was time to go on the second tour i was like
00:59:01well cool ain't that big the shirt wasn't loose it was a little tight see but that's what your life
00:59:06look like you know what the devil do he makes compromise feel so good and what do we do when
00:59:15you get that distraction well i gotta stop right there i i i i oh my god compromise number two comfort
00:59:23comfort i'm not gonna get to my message today comfort being too being too full of being too
00:59:28full for god to feed you does that make any sense
00:59:36i'm too full for god to feed me you know that's a lie
00:59:44what kills fire comfort
00:59:48so i'm very comfortable right now that's not good okay you're a liar
00:59:53you're too full you're full of the tea
00:59:57full of whatever mess you just heard full of yourself full of pride full of arrogance you know
01:00:03what the devil does now he takes a step back is that the holy spirit no if i'm doing something that
01:00:11is not like the holy spirit the holy spirit is going to correct me see the devil don't have to attack
01:00:15you if you attacking you
01:00:19no number three comparison comparison measuring your fire by someone else's
01:00:28i thought i was on fire for god and i went on i went on a little fast i said i was gonna fast from
01:00:3112 noon to so and so but my friend on an absolute fast all they do is water i ain't on fire like them
01:00:35says who
01:00:36so you you you woke up excited to come to church and the spirit got moving and now you in church
01:00:43like father thank you yes thank you jesus wasn't a person that you
01:00:49and now you're sitting there like i gotta get on fire they live crazy
01:00:53loud don't mean power y'all miss what i just said right there
01:00:57loud don't mean power hear me so so now you're comparing i did an interview this week and i asked
01:01:03yourself passing my compared to other churches how do you feel and i honestly don't know what
01:01:06other churches are doing i'm not up all night searching to see who got hear me when i tell you
01:01:09i'm so locked in five o'clock i'm up by 5 30 i'm praying about 6 6 30 i'm trying to get out the door
01:01:14i'm here i'm walking through trying to make sure so i'm looking at my word talking it over with the
01:01:17he's talking about himself so much we got three or four stories from his from his life what for
01:01:23i want to hear from the word of god from the holy spirit not from you
01:01:27he wants to talk about himself because he says he doesn't want to make it about him people come
01:01:35up about him but it is about him he just told you stuff about his childhood this is that it's okay to
01:01:40testify but i want to talk about jesus i want to hear about the lord it's not about the lord to him
01:01:46he puts a little bit of the lord and then he goes off into his own thing his diet his kids
01:01:51uh his past his childhood that's all you're going to think about when you leave what about god
01:01:59oh you okay who cares had someone shout next to you what's that do with anything
01:02:07because really all it comes down to is this go repent for your sins confess your mouth believe in
01:02:15your heart that jesus is the lord and you too will be saved talk to the lord on a daily basis pray to
01:02:19him ask for forgiveness he'll remove those demons from you from watching false prophecy and he'll
01:02:23begin to deliver you from things you don't even know this inside of you he loves you run to him
01:02:36making sure i ain't got no biblical errors that my opinion ain't trumping what the word actually said
01:02:40then once i do that right there because i'm accountable in my preaching too so i make sure
01:02:43boom did it sound good did it sound good how would i okay boom boom boom now do that then i watch my
01:02:46pastor service
01:02:50so what
01:02:54if the holy spirit say it is true i don't have to prepare why because the holy spirit speaking
01:03:02and what god takes over
01:03:07he's not saying anything about his relationship with god at all
01:03:10he's not mentioning the holy spirit because holy spirit's not with you so you have a demon with
01:03:13you you're doing all this work work work inside and from a place of love
01:03:20that's why you keep telling us these stories you're not even interpreting the word
01:03:24goodbye see but i'm not just over people i'm under somebody so even if you come in my office my
01:03:29pastor's on the screen preaching and i press pause then i pray with this group then i meet with the
01:03:32production team then i pray with the choir i let them in what does he sound like
01:03:35he sound like someone who's busy in the kitchen while jesus is sitting down talking
01:03:44that's what he sound he sounds so busy i'm doing this it's all about him i'm doing that i'm doing that
01:03:53look what i'm doing look at me
01:03:56so just sitting down and listening keep your eyes on jesus
01:04:00jesus trip this morning so the whole choir came together and i led a song and led them in worship
01:04:03then i walked back down to speak life over them and i try to come back here now get out of church
01:04:06i'm gonna spend time with the boys i had a small break then i meet with the production team then i
01:04:11prayed with the choir i led them in worship this morning so the whole choir came together and i
01:04:14let a song and let them in worship then i walk back down to speak life over them and i try to come
01:04:17back here now get out of church i'm gonna spend time with the boys and i'm gonna do something i'm
01:04:20I'm not trying to compare.
01:04:23Some of you need to mute some people on socials.
01:04:27They're putting the fire out.
01:04:29You'll be excited about certain stuff.
01:04:30I only got 75 views.
01:04:33That's a lot of people.
01:04:34But you can't even enjoy what you got.
01:04:37Because you're too busy looking at what you're doing.
01:04:38Who cares about social media?
01:04:39Get in that word.
01:04:43But you can't.
01:04:44Because you have a demon on you.
01:04:45You can't interpret the word.
01:04:46You did all those notes for nothing.
01:04:48Because they didn't go anywhere but off the cliff.
01:04:52You got that pad of the Bible.
01:04:55Or physical Bible.
01:04:56Who knows.
01:04:56Because you're off talking about social media.
01:04:58That's a demon.
01:04:59Who cares?
01:05:02A real prophet or teacher don't need an audience.
01:05:04They can talk to one person in the store.
01:05:05And keep going.
01:05:07So what are you talking about?
01:05:09And you don't even realize what they got.
01:05:11They paid for.
01:05:12I got to stop.
01:05:14I got to stop.
01:05:15I got to stop.
01:05:17Complacency.
01:05:18That's the next one.
01:05:20Complacency.
01:05:24I am not teaching you what I learned.
01:05:26I am teaching you what I live.
01:05:28It's only about you though.
01:05:30I don't want to hear from you.
01:05:30I want to hear from the Holy Spirit.
01:05:33Because the Holy Spirit is not going to take what I learned.
01:05:35Because it's not what you need to hear.
01:05:37It's about the children of God.
01:05:38It's not about your experience.
01:05:40What you live.
01:05:40Nobody cares.
01:05:42They're looking at you.
01:05:43Not for your intelligence.
01:05:44But they think that you're a man of God.
01:05:46You're not called by God to teach them.
01:05:50But you're not called by God to teach them.
01:05:53You're not.
01:05:54As you can see.
01:05:55You keep going off into your own self.
01:05:57You're not Jesus.
01:05:58You're not God.
01:06:00They're there to hear about Jesus.
01:06:01It's not about you and your educated guesses about complacency and believing you're good enough and mediocrity and this stupid stuff.
01:06:15Complacency is believing this is good enough.
01:06:18Oh, God.
01:06:18I wish I had more time.
01:06:20Hear me.
01:06:20Y'all be telling me, keep on preaching until you're sitting in traffic.
01:06:24He knew he shouldn't let us out.
01:06:26Y'all be on ballot day like this don't make no sense right here.
01:06:29Now, you remember that when you're sitting in traffic.
01:06:31Now, hear me when I say that.
01:06:31I'm compromised.
01:06:32It's a slow leap.
01:06:33I have compromised.
01:06:35I have been guilty of comfort.
01:06:38We got this building and I slipped.
01:06:40I slipped.
01:06:42We done made it.
01:06:43We done made it.
01:06:43I slipped.
01:06:44And I look up.
01:06:45I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:06:47So why do you think, let me show you a difference when you're past and a lot of people.
01:06:51Why do you think I pulled an emergency?
01:06:52I don't press the brake.
01:06:53I pulled an emergency.
01:06:54We're stopping this now.
01:06:55Why do you think out of nowhere?
01:06:56Hey, God bless you.
01:06:56Do me a favor.
01:06:56Every Saturday we need to pray.
01:06:58Because we're doing a whole lot of production with no power.
01:07:01So, hey, do me a favor.
01:07:02Every Saturday we're praying.
01:07:03Yep.
01:07:04Bring Bible study back.
01:07:04Let's get in the Word.
01:07:07Pastor Mike, I want to give you all this money to go on tour in 2025.
01:07:09God bless you.
01:07:09No.
01:07:10Turn that down.
01:07:10I need to be at church.
01:07:11Because I start slipping.
01:07:13I compromised.
01:07:14I compromised.
01:07:15And see, compromise.
01:07:16Ain't always, well, he did something wrong.
01:07:19I compromised because I ain't do enough.
01:07:21Y'all hear me in here.
01:07:23What do you mean compromise is not doing something wrong?
01:07:25See, now he's burned the lines between good and evil.
01:07:29No.
01:07:30Being obedient to God, I'm doing the right thing.
01:07:33I'm being obedient to God.
01:07:34No compromise.
01:07:35I rebuke, say the name of Jesus.
01:07:36I stay on point.
01:07:37I do what God says to do.
01:07:40No.
01:07:41How?
01:07:42I think last year, what, 13,000 people joined the church?
01:07:4414,000, 15,000 people joined the church?
01:07:45And I can't honestly say I know where they at.
01:07:50I let four rooms make me think we have a strong church.
01:07:55Growth is not based.
01:07:58Where is Jesus at?
01:07:59Open up that word.
01:08:00Open up.
01:08:00Show up.
01:08:02And see, when the fire goes out, mediocrity moves in.
01:08:05Mediocrity moves in not because you're empty, but because you would stop.
01:08:10Is this a scripture?
01:08:11No.
01:08:11He's making up his own things because he can't preach, okay?
01:08:14He's not called by God to teach you the word of God.
01:08:16So he's making up his own stupid stuff.
01:08:18Expecting to be full.
01:08:20So what does that mean, PMJ?
01:08:21I want you to put this in your notes.
01:08:22The enemy doesn't have to kill your purpose.
01:08:24He just has to convince you to live beneath it.
01:08:25He just has to make you believe coming to church is enough.
01:08:34I go to church.
01:08:35What does that mean?
01:08:37What does that mean?
01:08:38Do me a favor.
01:08:38Who got a garage at home?
01:08:40When you go home, go stand in it.
01:08:42Would that make you a car?
01:08:48Who got a kitchen?
01:08:50Does that make you a chef?
01:08:51Who got curlers?
01:08:54Does that make you a stylist?
01:08:56So what does sitting in here for 90 minutes make you?
01:09:02It's not just coming to church.
01:09:04It's surrendering to a process that makes you transform.
01:09:07So Pastor Mike, what does spiritual fire look like?
01:09:10I don't know.
01:09:10Number one.
01:09:13There's the carrot to transform.
01:09:15I'm not going to be anything other than obedient and God's going to use me.
01:09:19I'm enough.
01:09:20So now he's telling you, you have to transform.
01:09:22Transform to what?
01:09:24I'm enough.
01:09:26So there he is.
01:09:27That's the, that's what he's talking about.
01:09:29Transforming you to what?
01:09:30Goodbye.
01:09:31Consistent prayer.
01:09:32That's what it looks like.
01:09:33Consistent prayer.
01:09:35I've already told you this, right?
01:09:36Conviction.
01:09:37Obedience.
01:09:37Hunger for God's word.
01:09:38Bonus and witness.
01:09:39Urgency and purpose.
01:09:39So what does that mean?
01:09:40It was Elton Trueblood who said deliberate mediocrity is a sin.
01:09:44So what is mediocrity?
01:09:45What is mediocrity?
01:09:46He wanted to tell me what Elton someone said, but what about what Jesus says?
01:09:55That's why you're a false teacher.
01:09:57Okay.
01:09:57You're trying to mix in the world and the word of God.
01:10:01But they don't, they're not the same.
01:10:04That's the whole point.
01:10:07Sir, what you just said about what some man said, no one cares.
01:10:12They didn't hear a word from the Lord.
01:10:13You're not that guy.
01:10:15God didn't call you.
01:10:16You're not a prophet, a preacher, because you cannot teach from the word of God.
01:10:20You can't interpret the word.
01:10:21So you bring it in other things.
01:10:22People said, man said.
01:10:23Who said deliberate mediocrity is a sin.
01:10:31Did God say that?
01:10:33Did Jesus say that?
01:10:35Then why are you telling me?
01:10:38So what is mediocrity?
01:10:39What is mediocrity?
01:10:40What is mediocrity?
01:10:41Mediocrity means choosing the middle when you've been graced for greatness.
01:10:48Choosing the middle when you've been graced for greatness.
01:10:51It's settling for safe, comfortable, and easy instead of excellent, faithful, and fruitful.
01:10:54Deliberate mediocrity means you know you could do more, but you won't.
01:10:58This is going to be good today.
01:10:59Deliberate mediocrity means you know you could do more, but you won't.
01:11:01Not because you can't, but because fear, laziness, people-pleasing, and or apathy have become your ceiling.
01:11:08See, mediocrity is when you choose the greatest.
01:11:10He's not teaching the word of God.
01:11:11He's using that.
01:11:12He says a couple scriptures, and he's using what another man made sayings, wisdom sayings about the world.
01:11:22It has nothing to do with the Lord.
01:11:23The greatest version of yourself will be a lazy one.
01:11:26The greatest version of yourself will be a people-pleaser.
01:11:29Why is it a sin, PMJ?
01:11:30Because of James 4 and 17.
01:11:314 and 17.
01:11:32Look at what it says right there on your screen.
01:11:33So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him, it is a sin.
01:11:38The worst thing some of y'all could have ever did was come to church.
01:11:42Had you never came to church, and you never would have knew, you would be fine in certain things.
01:11:46Once you come into the light of it, it is now a sin.
01:11:48When we intentionally underperform, hide our gifts, or ignore the Spirit's leading, we rob God of his glory.
01:11:54This is good.
01:11:55This is good.
01:11:56This is good.
01:11:57It's not better for you not to know right from wrong.
01:12:02You still won't go to hell.
01:12:04If you're not saved, you're going to hell.
01:12:06Oh, why?
01:12:10Because you're not saved.
01:12:14You didn't choose the Lord, Jesus Christ.
01:12:16You didn't accept him to your heart.
01:12:19So for him to say that is a lie.
01:12:21Why would he say that?
01:12:22Why?
01:12:22Because he has a demon within us.
01:12:23Why?
01:12:24You've been better not to even come in here.
01:12:25Why would you say that?
01:12:28Because you have a demon with you.
01:12:30Oh, you'd be better not even knowing God at all.
01:12:33You'll be saved.
01:12:34No, you won't.
01:12:37Why would you say that?
01:12:38Because you have a demon within.
01:12:40Many of us are living.
01:12:41Give me seven minutes.
01:12:43Many of us in the back.
01:12:43Seven minutes.
01:12:44Many of us are living.
01:12:45This is really good.
01:12:46But this thing he knows.
01:12:46According to the lie of low expectations.
01:12:51The lie of low expectations.
01:12:54The lie of low expectations is one of the most dangerous deceptions in the kingdom of God.
01:12:57What is it, PMJ?
01:12:58It's the subtle belief that God is okay with just enough.
01:13:02Oh, my God.
01:13:05Let's make a deal.
01:13:06Well, how do I do more?
01:13:08I go to work.
01:13:09This is an example.
01:13:11I go to work and I take care of my family.
01:13:13What else can I do?
01:13:16Now listen to a false prophet.
01:13:18Listen to your assignment from God.
01:13:19He'll take care of the rest.
01:13:21Be obedient to God.
01:13:22He'll take care of the rest.
01:13:23Be obedient to God.
01:13:25He'll take care of the rest.
01:13:27Oh, yeah.
01:13:27One more thing.
01:13:28Be obedient to God.
01:13:30And he'll take care of the rest.
01:13:32Who come to the Bible study this week?
01:13:33Y'all going to rock with me at Bible study this week?
01:13:34Okay.
01:13:35I'm going to finish this this week at Bible study.
01:13:36I'm going to extend Bible study for another week.
01:13:37Look at me when I say this, okay?
01:13:38It's the subtle belief that God is okay with just enough.
01:13:40That as long as you don't mess up too bad, stay quiet and play it safe.
01:13:43God will be pleased.
01:13:45Y'all don't.
01:13:45This is too good.
01:13:47This is too good.
01:13:47No, as long as I don't mess up too bad, stay quiet and play it safe.
01:13:50Because low expectations aren't humility.
01:13:51They're often fear in disguise.
01:13:54Jesus.
01:13:55Low expectation aren't humility.
01:13:57They're often fear in disguise.
01:13:59Low expectations don't keep you humble.
01:14:00They keep you hidden.
01:14:04And God said I did not call.
01:14:05Hidden from what?
01:14:07False prophet.
01:14:09All you to blend in.
01:14:12Too many of you are suffering from anesthetizing conformity.
01:14:16Anesthetizing, anesthesia, conformity.
01:14:17It puts you to sleep.
01:14:18You're so busy blending me and you don't forgot God called you to break out.
01:14:24You don't know what God called me to do, false prophet.
01:14:27Only God can tell me my assignment, not you.
01:14:30That's why you're not called.
01:14:32Because what you're saying is lies.
01:14:34How are you going to tell them that God called them out to do something?
01:14:38To be in public?
01:14:40You're a liar.
01:14:41You don't know what their assignment is.
01:14:42You don't know who just caught that word right there.
01:14:46That's why I'm in one of the best places in my life I've ever been in.
01:14:48I am so comfortable being, being, being.
01:14:50I am so comfortable right now being a disruptor.
01:14:53I don't do it like them.
01:14:54I'm not going to move like them.
01:14:55Not for the sake of being different.
01:14:57I just am different.
01:14:58So hear me when I say this.
01:14:59According to Luke 12, 48.
01:15:00To whom much is given, much is required.
01:15:02That's important.
01:15:03Why?
01:15:03Jesus teaches us this in the parable of talents.
01:15:04The servants who buried his talents wasn't just planted safe.
01:15:07He was rebuked and called wicked.
01:15:09You know this parable where the manager gives three servants talents.
01:15:11And one of them buries him and says, hey, sir, I'm giving you back exactly what you gave me.
01:15:15I didn't want to lose it and you'd be mad at me.
01:15:16Look at what they call him in the text.
01:15:17They rebuke him and call him wicked.
01:15:19Not because he failed.
01:15:24I had a small break.
01:15:25They rebuke him and call him wicked.
01:15:26Not because he failed, but because he did nothing.
01:15:30This is heavy.
01:15:31God doesn't condemn failure.
01:15:32He confronts stagnation.
01:15:36The servant wasn't punished for losing money.
01:15:37He was punished for refusing to use it.
01:15:40Some of you are catching hell because you won't use what he gave you.
01:15:46Some of y'all are catching hell.
01:15:47How many times you got to get hit before you use what he gave you?
01:16:03How many times your kids got to catch hell before you?
01:16:05This is so stupid.
01:16:11When you're in a relationship with the Lord, he doesn't.
01:16:17The example that he used is interesting because God knows that he doesn't have a desire.
01:16:26So him doing that is interesting because he's the one going through that.
01:16:31Get it?
01:16:32Become an intercessor.
01:16:34How many times the devil got to run crazy in your life before you stand up and y'all have to say right now in the name of Jesus.
01:16:39I come against every generational curse in my house.
01:16:42And God is saying.
01:16:44See, he got a split tongue.
01:16:47He needs to repent for false prophecy.
01:16:50Repent for.
01:16:51Is it about the intent or the obedience?
01:16:54It's about obedience to God.
01:16:56Not about, oh, he wants to do the right thing.
01:16:58He wants to help.
01:16:58It's not about that.
01:16:59You out of order.
01:17:01He said he repents.
01:17:03He says he rebukes Satan, the four generations or something.
01:17:06You can't do that.
01:17:07See, if he had the Holy Spirit, he would know that.
01:17:09You have a dealing with you with false prophecy.
01:17:11You need to repent for false prophecy, false teaching.
01:17:13Period.
01:17:14And then you will be unblocked.
01:17:16And God will give you your desire by being obedient and being where he's supposed to be in your assignment.
01:17:21That's it.
01:17:22Why get hit if you got a gift?
01:17:25And so now you catch a rhythm.
01:17:27Some of y'all keep catching hell and losing to the same problem year after year.
01:17:32The same person with a different name.
01:17:34The same relationship.
01:17:35Impossible.
01:17:36You just have a demon.
01:17:38It's not the same person with a different name.
01:17:41It's on you.
01:17:44And the demon is rejecting what you want, your desire.
01:17:49Whatever your desire is, you're not going to have it with a demon.
01:17:54Only God can bring your desire.
01:17:56He knows what it was.
01:17:57He's the one who put it there in your heart.
01:17:58You can't change your desire.
01:18:00God knows what it is.
01:18:01If right now you try to say, you know what?
01:18:03I don't want that anymore.
01:18:04I don't want it.
01:18:09It's not true.
01:18:10You can't change your desire.
01:18:11It's in you.
01:18:12It's like saying, I want this and this and that.
01:18:15And then you're like, you know what?
01:18:16One day you're like, you know what?
01:18:18Someone talk me out of it.
01:18:19I don't want that anymore.
01:18:21You're still going to want that.
01:18:23Why?
01:18:24Because God put it in you to want it.
01:18:27Because he's the one who can give it to you.
01:18:28So you can pretend like you're enjoying the other options.
01:18:34But you will still, deep down, want your desire.
01:18:40In a different season.
01:18:41The same mistake in another year.
01:18:43And God is like, this year, at least make the devil get creative.
01:18:51At least make the devil.
01:18:53You see what I'm doing?
01:18:54At least this year, if I'm going to lose, let me lose at something different.
01:18:58Thank you, T.
01:19:00Why?
01:19:01Because in the kingdom of God, inactivity is not innocence.
01:19:03It's an insult.
01:19:06It's an insult.
01:19:08It's an insult.
01:19:09That is good.
01:19:12Why did Jesus tell the fig tree he won't ever produce again?
01:19:17Why?
01:19:17Because it wasn't producing.
01:19:18It wasn't producing what it's supposed to produce.
01:19:21You're not producing what you're supposed to produce.
01:19:24So your blocks are for false prophecy.
01:19:25You can't tell someone to do something if they don't know what God told them to do yet because they have a demon with him and they're in sin.
01:19:34God is the God of order.
01:19:35So it's easy to tell a group of demons who are watching you because they're not saved because they're watching a false teacher, false prophet, to do something different and block Satan in different ways or tell Satan to get creative.
01:19:50Goodbye.
01:19:51I hope you say the name of Jesus.
01:19:52Nothing's happening creative over here with the demon at all because we're not together.
01:19:57I'm listening to my assignment from the Lord.
01:20:03And guess what?
01:20:03Whatever that thing is, it fits me like a glove and it's enough.
01:20:08So telling me I need to do more than that, that's an insult.
01:20:11If you take notes, you ain't started a note-taking ministry.
01:20:16It's an insult that the world paid you all that money to fix their stuff and you ain't walked down that aisle yet and said, hey, pastor, let me do this to y'all.
01:20:23It's an insult that you can be in a group read watching your family be crazy and not step up and try to fix it.
01:20:32And I'll get it and say, hey, pastor, let me do this to y'all.
01:20:34It's an insult that you can be in a group read watching your family be crazy and not step up and try to fix it.
01:20:42He called him wicked, lazy, and work.
01:20:46Run away from demons.
01:20:47I don't care if they are related to you.
01:20:49If it's demonic stuff going on, you rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus and God will tell you the instructions.
01:20:56He said, I gave you some talents and you buried it.
01:20:59Wicked, a character flaw.
01:21:01Lazy, work ethic issues.
01:21:02Workless, no contribution.
01:21:04What you going to be?
01:21:09Contribution is what?
01:21:10Are you talking about money?
01:21:12Let the Lord tell you where to sow.
01:21:14Okay, especially don't sow to no false teacher, false prophet.
01:21:17Go back for me.
01:21:18What you going to be?
01:21:22You might have a season where you wicked.
01:21:23You just got some character issues.
01:21:24But I'm busy for you.
01:21:25I'm not lazy.
01:21:26Not worth it.
01:21:26What I'm telling you now is, next slide, I want them to see this.
01:21:29Passivity and purpose is rebellion in disguise.
01:21:32Where's the word at?
01:21:34Okay, he's telling you all these things, but he is running from that word because he can't interpret it.
01:21:40So you not being what God called you to be?
01:21:44Ain't just why I'm not ready.
01:21:46Can I free you?
01:21:47You're not going to be ready.
01:21:52I keep trying to tell pastors this.
01:21:55I got so many pastors calling me right now like, bro, just give me the secret sauce.
01:21:57I'm like, okay, cool.
01:21:58There is no mega church message.
01:21:59Like, there ain't no message I can give you to say, you preach this, you're going to get 20,000.
01:22:04There are people who preach way better than me.
01:22:07Better hearts than me.
01:22:08Better character than me.
01:22:09You hear this?
01:22:12There he is talking about how big he is or I don't know.
01:22:17Whatever he's trying to talk about is about him.
01:22:19Where's Jesus?
01:22:21Where he at?
01:22:22Because you've been talking for an hour about you.
01:22:26That's Satan.
01:22:28For some reason, my assignment was different.
01:22:32Did you catch that?
01:22:34And so what I need you to realize is this is the last one of the day and I'm going to finish this Wednesday.
01:22:37This Wednesday, I will encourage everybody to be in the building if you can.
01:22:39God can bless a failure.
01:22:41He can't bless a faker.
01:22:45I know that's right.
01:22:47Faker.
01:22:49Your blocks are for false teaching, false prophecy.
01:22:51That's why it's so hard for you to teach because you have a demon with you and you're teaching a bunch of demons just like you.
01:22:59So when you talk about yourself the whole time, where's Jesus?
01:23:03Everything he talks about here is things that he got from AI instead of what?
01:23:10Read me from the word.
01:23:13God can bless a failure.
01:23:14He can't bless a faker.
01:23:16He redeems a mistake, but he will confront a miss moment.
01:23:21And what I'm trying to push you to right now, and I'll finish this Wednesday, is too many of us have fallen victim to deliberate mediocrity.
01:23:29Your plan is so safe.
01:23:31I want to ruffle no feathers.
01:23:32And God is like, I called.
01:23:33Look at what God calls us.
01:23:34God calls us stuff that irritates people.
01:23:37Light.
01:23:38Salt.
01:23:39Peculiar.
01:23:39Think about it.
01:23:42God said, no, you royal, but you act in average.
01:23:46Peculiar.
01:23:47Now you're crying because people think you're different.
01:23:50Light.
01:23:51Now they don't invite you to dark places.
01:23:52Salt.
01:23:53Now people got hate in this system.
01:23:57I'm looking at you today saying, this is the season.
01:24:00Why did you love it?
01:24:01The music, the music ain't working, still talking because he want to be seen.
01:24:05Do not want the best part of this church to be his message.
01:24:10You want to know what I want people, you want to know what I want people to say?
01:24:13It's just some good people.
01:24:16That's like, I went to your church.
01:24:17I came from North Dakota and I was there and I raised my hand and a lady looked at me and said, how long are you here for?
01:24:21All right, so let me tell you where to go eat.
01:24:22Go to so-and-so, so-and-so.
01:24:23Take my number.
01:24:24Now if you need anything, you let us know.
01:24:24Good people, good people, good people, good people.
01:24:31When I'm talking to coaches now and they're telling me about the boys, they tell me, hey, so-and-so, so-and-so.
01:24:35But that's a good man.
01:24:35Well, all of them boys that come from y'all church, that's a good man.
01:24:37Well, thank you so much.
01:24:38Good people.
01:24:39When I see a hundred teenagers every Wednesday downstairs in small groups and praying and talking to God and worshiping, watch this, and praying for each other.
01:24:47That's what I want.
01:24:51Father, in Jesus' name, I call us out of deliberate mediocrity.
01:24:54All right, you guys, I'm going to wrap it up right there.

01:25:02I love you guys.
01:25:03I love you guys.
