given thought to that so before I go into any discourse I will I will indulge in a dialogue is there anything any questions you have that you have had that's been burning inside that you want to take see if you can get some sort of an answer

applause

this is your opportunity this is your time come to the house come to the come to the outline of Jeff questions over here sir you're the bucket hat you can stand right here your question what is the fear of the Lord the bear the fear what is it oh oh well I guess maybe I'm getting old I can't hear as well as I should because he said that quite clearly when you deal with the fear of the Lord you understand fear from a petrified point of view if you remember Greek mythology when you looked at Medusa of course you turned into a stone and that kind of fear is what the Greeks call petrified that fear is the kind of fear that keeps you from going forward keeps you from progress and keeps you from moving into the realm that should be operated by faith so when the Bible talks about fear in one sense it uses that word that's not the word that's used when it's the fear of the Lord when it's the fear of the Lord It's from a Greek word eusebia and that Greek word implies reverence so in reverencing the Lord because you understand his magnanimity this lindiferous magnanimity of who he is then you automatically have an awe and that all motivates you one to worship and two to please so the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom because what that means is because I reverence him because I respect him because I know how powerful he is I approach him with the kind of dignity that he deserves and I seek to please him foreign so now I hope I made it clear you're not afraid of him you reverence him and it's it's a total difference so you worship and you seek to please him and and that's the way it should be you shouldn't fear your husband you shouldn't fear your wife but you should reverence uh-huh that's good yes sir

applause

hi Bishop hello what you doing here look here serving you thank you I serve you guys too to know Bishop why is the churches in L.A so empty why do you think that people have stopped you know asking for the face to God how why why is it that when you go to church now it's just so dead and when you come somewhere like here because they moved out here amen

applause

well you you've got to understand that uh one of the things that's happening in in the world today and that is that there's a transition and everybody's not prepared to make the leap the pandemic was so catastrophic and so defining from a Kairos point of view not Kronos but Kairos because there's certain events that happen in Kronos that become Kairos moments so it was so catastrophic it was so dimensional in what it is that you can't go back to what it used to be and the problem is that when you deal with Prophet loving lovi and the generation that's operating in mad I say direct proportion to the Contemporary environment that they're a part of and they're excelling it's because they have moved with the times the children of issaka were more noble because they understood the times so the traditional church is trying to get back to what it'll never be now I can go into more detail because you're dealing with connectors and you're dealing with assemblers if you're dealing with assemblies you're dealing with Baby Boomers if you're dealing with connectors you're dealing with Millennials and disease Millennials and Z's live on these things all right so that assembling is difficult now I took a journey all the way to Houston with the team so I could begin to understand what it is that causes us connectors to assemble all right it was very critical and I'm dealing with corporate America trying to figure out what it is how do you keep in contact with people you only connect to but never a symbol with so the reason they're coming out here is because then moving to places where they're more contemporary is because they understand the times people are looking for demonstration they're looking for dialogue instead of Simply discourse and these young men have Incorporated the and and Bishop I call them Bishop but uh Pastor lovi is is a master at teaching from a Biblical point of view that's why I come in and the prophetic which is significant for the time in which we live and the laying on of hands and the rebuking witches and demons and all that kind of stuff and there's a demonstration of the power and that's what attracts people I think that connectors will come to an assembly where there is some action amen amen you have another question all right yeah Jesus told the Pharisees you Pharisees you seek Glory from man instead of Glory from God yes and in a truly humble way we're supposed to give God all the glory but is there a humble way also to receive this Glory that God says we're supposed to receive from him from glory to glory uh the humility is humility is literally the substratum for one's relationship with God and why because a couple of things one he says he resisted the proud so the last thing you ever want it's all right for the devil to resist because you have God but if God is resisting you who do you go to the last entity being in the universe you want to resist you as God well it would seem natural that the approach to God would be one of humility because of the grandiose power that he exhibits and because of the grace that he shows and the unsearchable riches that he has but the problem with man is man has taken himself as the center of the universe and not God and uh and that's a hold of the discourse I don't know if you're ready for that but the problem is that we are extremely ego maniacal extremely narcissistic and we got that from our relationship with the Devil uh because that's what moved him to Rebel uh the question is now that we move to another question and that is how did he ever get to that place where he was so proud that he would resist god well God made him so beautiful that when he looked at himself he lost it you see so that is what I would talk about a little bit tonight and that is in being gifted you see the problem is God will gift you so wonderfully until you will love the gift More Than The Giver you see and that's where the pride comes in so here's what I say to the prophet and I say to all young men that I deal with and young ladies never think that what you have received is something you achieved and that'll keep you humble and as you as you become less and I could take you to many examples if you take Paul for instance when he was in debate with the disciples he said something like I was not what went behind any of the disciples seven years later he said I am the least of the Apostles seven years later he said I'm the least of the Saints and by time he was getting ready to get out of here he said I am the chiefess of sinners is it that he declined no he got closer to God and the closer you get to God the less you think about yourself amen amen amen God bless hi Bishop yes ma'am I would like to know where does our soul go until final judgment where does our soul go in final judgment oh now we're dealing with the subject of thanatology and thanatology deals with life after death or the whole issue of death now I can't be dogmatic about this okay so I'm going to be real careful in my Approach the child of God as in the Pauline writings is asleep so the child of God is asleep in God sleep now now this is Noel Jones okay so I can't say dogmatically but I liken our dying as to surgery and if anyone in this room has done surgery you will the anesthesiologist will have you counting down and before you finish counting down you're in the recovery room whether that operation was five hours two hours 15 hours to you it was instant that's the way I see that life the death of a child of God sleeping those who are asleep now that sleep means that Paul Peter James and John it will be just as instantaneous to them as it was as if their death was two seconds all they know is they went out and they come back why because there is no time in eternity so once that soul is operating within the parameters of Eternity there's no time so it's like um and now you'll understand why he said I'll never leave you nor forsake you because as you go to sleep and death you'll awake but when you're awake it will not be an individual Awakening here's why nobody is going to come for God is Not Jesus is not going to come for his body and take it peace take pieces of it the whole body is going to go at the same time this is why we who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet them in the air which shall meet him in the air so the dead in Christ shall rise first so the whole body is going so when you die that soul of the child of God rests in peace now the soul of the unsaved now we haven't gotten to the judgments because the first Judgment of the Saints is the Judgment seat of Christ that has nothing to do with whether you're saved or not it has to do with your works aha you see sometimes we give credit to people who don't deserve credit and sometimes we don't give credit to people who deserve credit so the Lord said I'm going to fix that in that great in that judgment that seat now there's another judgment because God is so just that even those who have sinned and died in their sins will have to be resurrected and that's the great white Throne judgment now we got to deal with times now if you're resting in peace as a child of God then somebody's having nightmares if they're not saved all right so ultimately the soul that saved will be with the Lord the soul that's not saved won't be with him can't be dogmatic but hell in my estimations not someplace burning with fire and Heaven is not a place where you're walking on streets of gold those are anthropomorphic terms to give us an understanding of how beautiful it will be and how devastating it'll be but I just believe hell is when a soul and spirit is separated from God that's hell all right Bishop we have another question yes I needed to help um this um with the fact that um I see human heart and visions beating human hearts and visions and dreams so so you're dealing with visions you're dealing with dreams um now I believe that God operates in every way that he operated in the scriptures I believe that today but I also believe that you have to be very careful in distinguishing whether it is of god or it is of you or it is another spirit this is why when people say to me and say to congregants and to people who serve God when they say to them that sheep are dumb I take exception to that because anybody who can know the voice of God cannot be dumb so here's what I'm saying you have to buy what I was going to talk about tonight you have to buy the renewing of your mind make the distinction between who is speaking to you in visions and in dreams because on the one hand Solomon says that dreams are a multitude of business which means wherever your mind was that day the subconscious grabs a hold to what it is you functioning and then it regurgitates it in a dream it's a multitude of business but then God speaks to his people in dreams the question now is how do I distinguish it and the answer is the only way to distinguish who is talking to you is to get on your knees and get a good talk with God and see whether or not what it is that you have a vision of coincides with his word makes sense okay God bless uh Bishop I just want to know what is your advice to people who are called and dealing with bringing down certain principalities in areas uh did you hear okay so it's not me one more time Bishop yes okay municipalities I heard what is your advice to the ones who are in the midst of bringing down certain principalities in certain areas and and battling attacks on them while they're in the midst of it okay now when I look at principalities and powers and rulers of the darkness of this world principalities simply means princes generally that's on the other side all right that's on the the the satanic side so I'm trying to understand the question because if you're dealing with principalities or calling principalities down then the question is are you defeating them are you calling them for Aid or are they attacking you okay so you're being attacked while you walk with God and you want to know what to do well I tell you what to do you rebuke those Powers with the power that's in you yes sir because what you have to understand is that there is no power that supersedes the power that is in you the the issue of the power that's in US however is that it has to be cognitive in other words uh he maketh intercession with groanings that cannot be uttered if he makes intercession with groanings that cannot be uttered then it's not um because I just uttered that it's no sound at all so if he is empowering me with no sound at all then there has to be a connection to my thinking in relationship to what the power is that's in me let me give you another example for those of you who get nervous about witches and wizards and and all them kind of folk that's out there and all the spiritual foolishness you can you can take me and to anybody out there if you just want to take a doll of me and stick it stick it all day it ain't gonna bother me so you know okay and and let me show you let me show you how critical it is Jesus said to his disciples that I couldn't do many Works in Nazareth because of their unbelief now I want to you to give some thought to this if God in flesh could not achieve many Works in in Nazareth because of their unbelief what does that tell me if God could do it because of unbelief and I'll explain what that couldn't do means if he couldn't do it because of unbelief then if I don't believe the devil can hurt me I want to go over that again if Jesus said I couldn't do many mighty works because of unbelief then if I don't believe the devil how can he do anything if I don't believe it when you believe that the greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world you can tackle any principality and any power anywhere anyway now let me explain that could not do many works because you might believe that your unbelief cripples him oh no the exhibition of his power was already evident but in order for the evidentiality uh check that word of his power to be enjoyed it has to be received the power was out there but the works couldn't be mighty if it wasn't received so it's not that his hands were tied it's that the exhibition was not complete because it was not received and if I go further I'll tell you this everything you'll ever need from God you already have it amen amen amen amen he's not running behind you chasing you to give you some power when he met you he dropped off you will ever need amen amen yes sir Bishop um in Scripture it says that when you blast him against the Holy Spirit that's an eternal sin so my question would be is there any um way for that person to be redeemed uh well it is a sin that is of course regarded as unforgivable right now I think I think that often times and I had this same question growing up right because I said some things about the church and I said some things man especially when I want to go home and you know you come in that Sunday morning you have prayer at home and then you go to church and I'm saying we're going to have prayer at church why are we having prayer at home and then we go to church at nine and come home at three nine a.m to 3 P.M Sunday oh man I ain't no Holy Ghost down there these folks just running around talking now the thing about blasphemy against the Holy Ghost and remember who he is speaking to he's speaking to a group of people who obviously knew that there was power exhibited that they did not have and because of the hardness of their hearts and wickedness of their character and personality they decided to speak negatively about the power of the Holy Spirit they knew now you're sitting here you're standing here in church and you're asking that question you would not ask that question if God was not with you understand this you wouldn't answer a question if God is not with you because reprobacy doesn't feel God reprobacy has no sorrow reprobes he has no repentance no conviction reprobes say wouldn't even give a thought to whether or not I have blaspheme against the Holy Ghost because no man comes except the father draw and if you're here you've been drawn and he does not draw to turn away man all right and we're down to the last say hi hi Bishop God bless um God bless you giving your years of serving the people of God serving God how would you encourage some newer people in like newer to serving in Ministry who walk through church heard and Ministry pains what would you say to encourage us well one of the things I would say is when you first your initial entrance into the things of God is an exciting time so the question I should ask is how would you encourage me after all this time to keep on going

applause

laughter

I'm still excited about my marriage I hope it lasts the encouragement one of the things that is significant and and when you deal with the word of God and especially I try to do it in my presentation is that the word gives information the word gives instruction and the word gives inspiration so in your continuing to serve others even though you have the affront and and I'm telling you this I'll say this and and and mark this carefully if you have no haters you're not that gifted good morning so it's hating against the gift so what happens is the enemy co-signs your giftedness so you don't allow that hurt to hinder you but rather to strengthen you because you should be encouraged by the negativity of negative people come on now in the same way you're encouraged by the positivity of positive Folk you're negative in your state tells me I'm on the right track you're helping somebody Bishop amen all right down to the left my question is if someone does not directly sit under a specific anointing of someone who is skilled in maybe the anointing that rests on their life or the calling that's on their life are is there a way for someone to steal um take steps or become knowledgeable or receive Revelation in reference to um the calling or the assignment or um what's placed on their life they don't directly sit under someone who um has been where they're going well there's a difference between being mentored and being moved by God in an anointing that represents a particular calling I was looking tonight on my way over here because I was dealing with the whole issue of completing what I did the last time and now the issue is calling and gifts gifts and of course the scripture we use and and I was with with your husband and we as we were coming home he uh uh Prophet uh lovi said something about people who uh deal with him and try to deal with it negatively and what they say is he said to me and I I marked it I noted that oftentimes people give content out of context that's good you know when you know you arguing with you you've argued with you you're with your husband or your wife we haven't had a good argument yet but uh uh you know when you're arguing and uh and you you choose certain words to repeat ah don't look at me like Alice in Wonderland a lot I don't know what you're talking about I've never had any kind of discussion of that sort and you choose things that you disconnect them from the context you follow and I was looking at callings and repentance and when I looked at the context it was dealing with God calling Israel this is Romans chapter 11 about 29 calling Israel and saying to those of us who are Christian I'm going back to them because the callings and the gifts and callings are without repentance or irrevocable when God anoints you and that was not for vocational calling but when God anoints you with a vocational calling he calls you separate from anybody else nobody over you has to decide whether or not you will call nobody over you because it's a calling something you have to accept from God because when the when the hard times come you have to be assured that this came from God when sometimes the people who you are under don't believe it fight against it insecure because of it you have to know it's from God now that said everybody needs mentoring because the calling of God can be so frightening that you need somebody to help to direct how you move Give an example biblical example Samuel kept coming to Eli saying something's going on here in the room and I hear my name somebody's messing with me and he said I didn't call you three times he came to him and he said the next time you say here my Lord because he knew it was God that was dealing with for somebody who is outside of that place and God puts you in that place oftentimes it's so frightening and so awesome that you need somebody to direct you now the wonderful thing about God is it's God so God when he has his hand on you he will direct you to that place where whoever is and I hope I'm answering the question whoever is dealing with you will deal with you not out of what you mean in their Ministry but deal with you out of how well you can become what you are in the ministry God has given your teacher you see now that said you have to understand that when God places someone over you he often times limits your expression to build your character

music

your teacher because God is not in the business of being embarrassed where he puts you in the lights and your character bring you back to the basement and if you cannot be obedient to somebody who is over you then because God is a god of order God is a god of hierarchy and if you operate within that prayer you're faithful yes yes can I take it further look at David David was the first person in a second position for 15 years all right so that anointing will increase and you just keep stirring your anointing and if God's called you to something and you're not sure what it is it's like you're gonna you want to buy a new house and you're not sure which house you're gonna buy but if one thing you don't need to buy that house it's a money so while you thinking about that house save your money you don't know where God wants you in your anointing and in your ministry but one thing you're going to need is the word so while you waiting on them to show you what to do study the word the teacher amen all right God bless Heaven smile on you now I don't have to work so long thank you Bishop somebody else
