WEBVTT - Michele Jackson - Oct 30 - 3:30 pm

0:00:01.090 --> 0:00:02.950
<v Speaker 1>Today on The Hope Connection.

0:00:03.670 --> 0:00:06.850
<v Speaker 2>Until we learn how to love. Come on, we don't

0:00:06.870 --> 0:00:09.130
<v Speaker 2>know how to love. We just have sex. We just

0:00:09.190 --> 0:00:12.970
<v Speaker 2>doing stuff, trying to meet our needs. But God says

0:00:13.030 --> 0:00:17.380
<v Speaker 2>there is a agape kind of love that will pour

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>through the cities. But it's going to start household by household.

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 2>So is your household going to be a part of

0:00:23.900 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>this fresh move? Are you going to be part of

0:00:26.340 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the move of God? God's saying, I want to turn

0:00:30.220 --> 0:00:31.950
<v Speaker 2>your house into God's home.

0:00:34.090 --> 0:00:38.170
<v Speaker 1>Powerful question from Bishop Harry Jackson's message. Is your household

0:00:38.250 --> 0:00:41.750
<v Speaker 1>going to be a part of this fresh move? Or

0:00:41.850 --> 0:00:44.630
<v Speaker 1>are you going to be a part of the movement

0:00:44.670 --> 0:00:49.419
<v Speaker 1>of God? Which one will have a stronger foundation? You

0:00:49.860 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>or your entire household? Find out what's next with The

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Hope Connection. But before we get started, The Hope Connection

0:00:57.580 --> 0:00:59.550
<v Speaker 1>is about turning hearts to God with the hope of

0:00:59.590 --> 0:01:01.790
<v Speaker 1>the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to thank you

0:01:01.830 --> 0:01:04.350
<v Speaker 1>for being with us today. My hope is that you

0:01:04.370 --> 0:01:06.790
<v Speaker 1>will be blessed and filled with hope of a better

0:01:06.850 --> 0:01:09.210
<v Speaker 1>life with Christ. We are here for you.

0:01:09.990 --> 0:01:11.869
<v Speaker 3>Did you know that God wants to do a great

0:01:11.910 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>work in your life? But how do you learn what

0:01:14.030 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 3>that is? And better yet, how do you turn the

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.390
<v Speaker 3>hopeless into hope? Today, the Hope Connection has a series

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 3>of his message, Loving My City Back to Life.

0:01:59.460 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 2>We always have watchers and lookers, self promoters, hangers on.

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.780
<v Speaker 2>But some of y'all are ride to die. And you

0:02:07.820 --> 0:02:12.540
<v Speaker 2>need to understand we're doing it. Slam dunk is where

0:02:12.590 --> 0:02:22.029
<v Speaker 2>we are right now. Hallelujah. That's why when I went

0:02:22.070 --> 0:02:24.930
<v Speaker 2>to the doctor the other day, the doctor said, you

0:02:25.630 --> 0:02:34.580
<v Speaker 2>got 10% body fat. That's performance athlete conditioning. I'm going

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>to say this. Don't get it twisted. My testosterone level

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:43.940
<v Speaker 2>is over and above. My muscle capacity is of a

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.750
<v Speaker 2>younger man. God said to me a few months ago,

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.750
<v Speaker 2>we were praying, God heal my wife and God restore me.

0:02:52.889 --> 0:02:56.389
<v Speaker 2>God healed my wife in a way I wasn't expecting.

0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>And she's in the bosom of the Father right now.

0:03:01.500 --> 0:03:04.500
<v Speaker 2>But I was praying one day recently as I was

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.740
<v Speaker 2>starting to get all these reports back from the doctor.

0:03:07.380 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 4>And I began to understand something.

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.769
<v Speaker 2>The Lord said, hey, you don't really believe that I

0:03:14.810 --> 0:03:16.850
<v Speaker 2>said I'm going to restore you.

0:03:17.910 --> 0:03:19.310
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to restore the years.

0:03:20.580 --> 0:03:24.770
<v Speaker 2>That the canker worm and caterpillar have eaten. I'm giving

0:03:24.810 --> 0:03:28.270
<v Speaker 2>you back some of the years you lost, and you're

0:03:28.290 --> 0:03:30.169
<v Speaker 2>going to have energy, authority.

0:03:30.650 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Power, and vision for this next new season.

0:03:35.020 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be like Caleb and say, give me

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:43.940
<v Speaker 2>my mountain. We grow young here. We grow with destiny here.

0:03:44.500 --> 0:03:48.339
<v Speaker 2>We're going to a new dimension here. And I'm not

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.490
<v Speaker 2>going to walk behind the pack. I'm going to be

0:03:50.530 --> 0:03:54.310
<v Speaker 2>running out ahead of anybody that's running with me.

0:03:54.710 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Come on, somebody. Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah. I hope I

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 4>didn't scare you with TMI. Too much information. All right.

0:04:13.860 --> 0:04:16.500
<v Speaker 2>Do we have some notes here? And some things are

0:04:16.540 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>going to appear on the screen, I believe. Did y'all

0:04:20.020 --> 0:04:26.130
<v Speaker 2>get any notes? Somebody said yes, one person. One person

0:04:26.170 --> 0:04:30.150
<v Speaker 2>got notes. How many got notes?

0:04:31.930 --> 0:04:39.570
<v Speaker 4>Four, five, eight, nine. Everybody got notes. Nobody got notes.

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:45.210
<v Speaker 4>Where are the notes? Hallelujah.

0:04:46.330 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, hopefully we're going to be able to see something.

0:04:49.220 --> 0:04:52.700
<v Speaker 2>There are five beliefs. That's why we're having a soft

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.650
<v Speaker 2>opening right now. We're learning how to use everything. This

0:04:57.710 --> 0:05:04.770
<v Speaker 2>well-oiled machine, which.

0:05:02.050 --> 0:05:04.919
<v Speaker 4>Is our team, is going to get gooder and gooder.

0:05:06.900 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>So you want to take down these notes if you can.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 4>Five beliefs.

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:16.729
<v Speaker 2>Now, I'm calling this summary message, loving our city.

0:05:16.890 --> 0:05:17.690
<v Speaker 4>Back to life.

0:05:18.650 --> 0:05:21.790
<v Speaker 2>You've heard this person loving something to death. We're not

0:05:21.810 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>trying to love the city to death. We're going to

0:05:25.380 --> 0:05:27.420
<v Speaker 2>try to love our city.

0:05:27.660 --> 0:05:29.900
<v Speaker 4>Back to life. Y'all with me?

0:05:31.140 --> 0:05:35.190
<v Speaker 2>So there are five beliefs we have to have, five

0:05:35.290 --> 0:05:39.590
<v Speaker 2>ways of thinking we have to have about ourselves, all

0:05:39.650 --> 0:05:45.060
<v Speaker 2>of them including the concept that prosperity comes to those

0:05:45.100 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 2>who flow, health and healing comes to those who are

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.570
<v Speaker 2>going to use their energy for the purposes of God.

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Influence is released to those who are going to use

0:05:57.140 --> 0:06:03.020
<v Speaker 2>their influence to help others. And it's not just about me, myself,

0:06:03.140 --> 0:06:07.230
<v Speaker 2>and I, but it's about us, our destiny, and the

0:06:07.370 --> 0:06:12.229
<v Speaker 2>realm that we're called to impact. And if you got that,

0:06:12.330 --> 0:06:13.430
<v Speaker 2>shout hallelujah.

0:06:14.750 --> 0:06:15.170
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:06:15.570 --> 0:06:19.070
<v Speaker 2>Each one of these is an introduction also to a message.

0:06:19.130 --> 0:06:24.630
<v Speaker 2>Number one, we'll talk about this next week. We are

0:06:24.750 --> 0:06:30.140
<v Speaker 2>to believe, you are to believe that you're carrying revival.

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.580
<v Speaker 2>A few weeks ago, I was talking to one of

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.620
<v Speaker 2>the churches that I give spiritual covering to. And the

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.730
<v Speaker 2>leader and the person I was talking to was an

0:06:39.850 --> 0:06:42.530
<v Speaker 2>interim leader. And they were saying, I'm so weary. What's

0:06:42.550 --> 0:06:45.530
<v Speaker 2>going to happen to our ministry and our church? And

0:06:45.589 --> 0:06:48.849
<v Speaker 2>I said, I want to pray with you. They're saying,

0:06:48.890 --> 0:06:50.940
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I can keep going on. And

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I said, when you stand in your pulpit, I want

0:06:55.540 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>you to believe that you're going to get the flow

0:06:58.860 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 2>down from the anointing that I'm walking in.

0:07:02.700 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 4>You're aligned and you're working with me.

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.940
<v Speaker 2>So believe that the grace that is on the head,

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Psalm 133, flows down to the beard and out onto

0:07:15.100 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the collar and the garment. Believe that you're working not

0:07:19.260 --> 0:07:24.290
<v Speaker 2>just with your limited resources and your exhaustion. Believe you're

0:07:24.350 --> 0:07:29.810
<v Speaker 2>working under the open heaven that's a part of my assignments.

0:07:31.270 --> 0:07:32.790
<v Speaker 4>And I'm going to believe God with you.

0:07:33.390 --> 0:07:38.390
<v Speaker 2>And so in their brokenness, their exhaustion, the next couple

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:39.780
<v Speaker 2>of weeks they stood up and.

0:07:40.140 --> 0:07:43.420
<v Speaker 4>Their report back was, I felt better. I felt light.

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 4>Grace began to move. I felt hopeful.

0:07:48.180 --> 0:07:52.030
<v Speaker 2>And so you need to believe that you're carrying revival.

0:07:52.690 --> 0:07:58.490
<v Speaker 2>Jeremiah 29, 4 says, Thus says the Lord of hosts,

0:07:58.510 --> 0:08:03.940
<v Speaker 2>the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive,

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:09.540
<v Speaker 2>whom I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to

0:08:10.180 --> 0:08:16.060
<v Speaker 2>To Babylon, those people carried away, got to a foreign land,

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:22.260
<v Speaker 2>and they believed that they could pray covenant power, the

0:08:22.340 --> 0:08:24.510
<v Speaker 2>power of Jehovah.

0:08:23.950 --> 0:08:26.530
<v Speaker 4>God, into heathen territory.

0:08:27.730 --> 0:08:29.530
<v Speaker 2>So you're going to have to believe that you've been

0:08:29.570 --> 0:08:33.470
<v Speaker 2>assigned to this city, and despite all the manipulation.

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 4>the.

0:08:34.540 --> 0:08:38.860
<v Speaker 2>Quid pro quo, all of the abuses that go on

0:08:39.300 --> 0:08:43.330
<v Speaker 2>in a city of power like D.C., that there's something

0:08:43.730 --> 0:08:48.230
<v Speaker 2>because of your covenant relationship and the corporate anointing you're

0:08:48.270 --> 0:08:52.870
<v Speaker 2>walking under that you're going to stand in places of power.

0:08:53.290 --> 0:08:56.079
<v Speaker 2>And just as surely as I am a prophet to

0:08:56.100 --> 0:09:00.020
<v Speaker 2>the nations and an apostolic leader, you're going to prophesy

0:09:00.340 --> 0:09:03.809
<v Speaker 2>with some of that dimension of grace. You need to

0:09:03.870 --> 0:09:08.550
<v Speaker 2>believe that you're not stuck anywhere. You are on assignment.

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:10.100
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

0:09:10.900 --> 0:09:14.660
<v Speaker 2>Turn to somebody and say, you're not stuck. You've been

0:09:14.740 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 2>held in position. Turn to somebody else and say it again.

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:24.270
<v Speaker 2>You're not stuck. You've just been held in position. See,

0:09:24.309 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 2>your destiny is all about your manifesting the kingdom of God.

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.220
<v Speaker 2>Your purpose should be all about your believing God. Some

0:09:33.260 --> 0:09:36.750
<v Speaker 2>of you are frustrated because you've been listening to too

0:09:36.790 --> 0:09:41.900
<v Speaker 2>much charismatic theology. Name it, claim it, grab it, grab it,

0:09:41.940 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 2>and grab it. Right now there's a higher purpose. You're

0:09:45.220 --> 0:09:48.020
<v Speaker 2>going to believe God and we're going to declare we're

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.150
<v Speaker 2>changing this place. And where I work is going to

0:09:52.210 --> 0:09:56.890
<v Speaker 2>be infected with an infusion of the glory of God

0:09:57.230 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>because everywhere I set my feet. the glory of God

0:10:02.660 --> 0:10:04.059
<v Speaker 2>works with me.

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.100
<v Speaker 4>If you believe it, give the Lord a clap offering.

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:08.420
<v Speaker 3>Hey!

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Woo!

0:10:11.540 --> 0:10:16.010
<v Speaker 4>You're anointed. Somebody shout, I'm anointed. Come on, shout, I've

0:10:16.030 --> 0:10:19.349
<v Speaker 4>got dominion. I have authority.

0:10:20.860 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm a child of the King. Once again, if you

0:10:24.300 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 2>believe it, give God a clap.

0:11:32.179 --> 0:11:41.230
<v Speaker 2>Carries with it a spirit of reconciliation. Reconciliation, reconciling men

0:11:41.270 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 2>to God is the key to your own family restoration

0:11:48.260 --> 0:11:52.020
<v Speaker 2>and to everything that you want to do in this life.

0:11:53.420 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Psalm 126 verse six says this, those who go out weeping,

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:08.010
<v Speaker 2>anybody been weeping over your job, your family, Your community,

0:12:09.250 --> 0:12:13.390
<v Speaker 2>anybody other than me has caused to weep in intercession

0:12:13.410 --> 0:12:17.469
<v Speaker 2>that things were out of order or you've had a

0:12:17.530 --> 0:12:21.470
<v Speaker 2>loss in your life. Since I started going through my

0:12:21.510 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 2>grieving process, God began to assign me to pastors who

0:12:26.410 --> 0:12:30.300
<v Speaker 2>are isolated and they are all going through major losses.

0:12:30.780 --> 0:12:34.500
<v Speaker 2>And I've learned to cry with men who are going

0:12:34.540 --> 0:12:35.540
<v Speaker 2>through devastation.

0:12:37.929 --> 0:12:42.070
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not crying because I'm in despair. I'm crying

0:12:42.090 --> 0:12:44.650
<v Speaker 4>because I'm identifying with the need.

0:12:44.710 --> 0:12:49.290
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says that Jesus, before he performed any miracle,

0:12:49.610 --> 0:12:53.990
<v Speaker 2>was moved with compassion. In other words, he was able

0:12:54.030 --> 0:12:57.590
<v Speaker 2>to connect with where people were, but through that connection

0:12:57.630 --> 0:13:03.890
<v Speaker 2>of compassion, that love channel, God poured out anointing and

0:13:04.030 --> 0:13:09.830
<v Speaker 2>healing and miracles. You are a change about to happen

0:13:09.910 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 2>for your city, your family, your community. It's all about

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.770
<v Speaker 2>you being reconciled to God and his purposes. and that

0:13:23.970 --> 0:13:30.819
<v Speaker 2>reconciliation being a conduit for restoration. Second major belief, you're

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.980
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be a carrier of revival, and you're supposed

0:13:35.020 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to believe that God is turning houses into homes. Remember

0:13:44.420 --> 0:13:49.470
<v Speaker 2>that song? I remember Luther Vandross singing.

0:13:49.490 --> 0:13:51.069
<v Speaker 4>I said, oh, yeah.

0:13:53.050 --> 0:13:56.660
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry, I'm not going to get too carnal. I

0:13:56.660 --> 0:14:01.820
<v Speaker 2>remember Luther Vandross singing, a house is not a home.

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:08.069
<v Speaker 2>And he's talking about what it felt like for his wife,

0:14:08.130 --> 0:14:12.630
<v Speaker 2>his lover, his special someone not to be there. And

0:14:13.429 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>he's hoping that they'll be there when he reaches the stair.

0:14:19.580 --> 0:14:21.260
<v Speaker 4>But he said that a chair.

0:14:24.150 --> 0:14:31.490
<v Speaker 2>Is still a chair. But a house is not necessarily

0:14:31.510 --> 0:14:34.890
<v Speaker 2>a home. Now, I want to give you the key

0:14:35.590 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to seeing Washington, D.C., Baltimore, turn around. One of the

0:14:39.820 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>great problems with our ethnic minorities in America today is

0:14:44.580 --> 0:14:53.010
<v Speaker 2>they forgot that jacked-up families create jacked-up communities. And the

0:14:53.070 --> 0:14:56.700
<v Speaker 2>spirit of murder that's released in the ghetto is because

0:14:56.740 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>there's a spirit of hatred and murder released in their house.

0:15:02.300 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 2>And until we get healing where we live. until we

0:15:05.820 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 2>get out of codependency and come into Jesus dependency, until

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.500
<v Speaker 2>we learn how to love. Come on, we don't know

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.460
<v Speaker 2>how to love. We just have sex. We just doing stuff,

0:15:17.860 --> 0:15:21.330
<v Speaker 2>trying to meet our needs. But God says there is

0:15:21.420 --> 0:15:26.190
<v Speaker 2>a agape kind of love that will pour through the cities,

0:15:26.990 --> 0:15:30.650
<v Speaker 2>but it's going to start household by household. So is

0:15:30.670 --> 0:15:33.310
<v Speaker 2>your household going to be a part of this fresh move?

0:15:34.340 --> 0:15:36.060
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to be part of the move of God?

0:15:36.500 --> 0:15:40.940
<v Speaker 2>God's saying, I want to turn your house into God's home.

0:15:42.060 --> 0:15:45.740
<v Speaker 2>Notice in Matthew chapter 10, when Jesus sent his disciples

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:50.060
<v Speaker 2>out to begin to minister, he said, every house that

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.580
<v Speaker 2>receives you, let your peace come on the house. He

0:15:54.660 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't send his disciples at first to arenas. He didn't

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.070
<v Speaker 2>put them on TV.

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:02.500
<v Speaker 4>Hallelujah.

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:08.050
<v Speaker 2>Hallelujah. He sent them to households and households who received

0:16:08.490 --> 0:16:13.430
<v Speaker 2>the reconciliation and the power of God were empowered and

0:16:13.450 --> 0:16:15.810
<v Speaker 2>they became centers for healing.

0:16:17.050 --> 0:16:17.620
<v Speaker 4>Homes.

0:16:18.890 --> 0:16:21.460
<v Speaker 2>God's going to turn this city around. He's going to

0:16:21.500 --> 0:16:26.340
<v Speaker 2>turn our nation around one heart at a time, empowering

0:16:26.620 --> 0:16:31.020
<v Speaker 2>one home at a time, empowering one church at a

0:16:31.060 --> 0:16:36.460
<v Speaker 2>time and city after city. falling like dominoes under the

0:16:36.500 --> 0:16:38.470
<v Speaker 2>hand of the glory of God.

0:16:39.090 --> 0:16:41.450
<v Speaker 4>If you believe that, give the Lord a clap offering.

0:16:43.410 --> 0:16:48.410
<v Speaker 2>Psalm 92, verse 13 says, those who are planted in

0:16:48.450 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the house of the Lord, planted, not here one year

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.060
<v Speaker 2>and gone next. Those who are planted in the house

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.900
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:06.510
<v Speaker 2>In other words, home planting means creates a flourishing. God

0:17:06.650 --> 0:17:10.449
<v Speaker 2>comes upon us anointing in habits.

0:17:10.490 --> 0:17:11.409
<v Speaker 4>Where we live.

0:17:11.770 --> 0:17:15.430
<v Speaker 2>We bring heaven down to our house as we make

0:17:15.609 --> 0:17:19.669
<v Speaker 2>our house a home in the name of Jesus. Are

0:17:19.710 --> 0:17:22.890
<v Speaker 2>y'all there with me? There's much to be said. There's

0:17:22.910 --> 0:17:25.649
<v Speaker 2>a whole message coming on that. Third, we need to

0:17:25.690 --> 0:17:32.940
<v Speaker 2>believe in gold families. What's a gold family? Listen, Jeremiah 29, 6,

0:17:32.940 --> 0:17:38.260
<v Speaker 2>it says, marry and have children. He could be prophesying

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.790
<v Speaker 2>to DC right now. All these young men talking about

0:17:42.810 --> 0:17:46.130
<v Speaker 2>they're waiting to get married. What you waiting for? You're

0:17:46.150 --> 0:17:47.729
<v Speaker 2>in your biological prime in.

0:17:47.710 --> 0:17:48.709
<v Speaker 4>Your teenage years.

0:17:49.810 --> 0:17:55.820
<v Speaker 2>And wrong thinking Christian parents are actually pushing their children

0:17:55.880 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 2>into pornography, perversion, and and confusion by saying, well, you can't.

0:18:02.260 --> 0:18:04.270
<v Speaker 4>Get married till you finish school. Do this, do that,

0:18:04.330 --> 0:18:09.770
<v Speaker 4>the other. That's foolishness. Hello? Come on.

0:18:09.830 --> 0:18:13.150
<v Speaker 2>If you're biologically capable of having kids, don't have them

0:18:13.190 --> 0:18:20.100
<v Speaker 2>children out of wedlock. Operate in God's assignment, his call

0:18:20.180 --> 0:18:25.340
<v Speaker 2>to families. His grace will come upon a family as

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:26.540
<v Speaker 2>a multiplication of.

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.159
<v Speaker 4>What any man by himself can do.

0:18:29.980 --> 0:18:33.580
<v Speaker 2>So we let people have unscriptural thinking saying, well, they

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 2>got to go to school.

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:35.820
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to get them confused.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.820
<v Speaker 2>I remember when I was a teenager, some old man

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 2>came up to me on a summer job. I had

0:18:41.460 --> 0:18:45.090
<v Speaker 2>in touch using derogatory terms, which I won't repeat. But

0:18:45.130 --> 0:18:48.109
<v Speaker 2>basically he said, don't fall in love with the first

0:18:48.630 --> 0:18:52.050
<v Speaker 2>girl you have sex with. And he should have been saying,

0:18:52.650 --> 0:18:56.230
<v Speaker 2>don't mess up and have sex with a whole lot

0:18:56.300 --> 0:19:02.139
<v Speaker 2>of women. Find somebody worthy of your love, commit to them,

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:09.109
<v Speaker 2>and don't let yourself get destroyed by cravings and lust

0:19:10.150 --> 0:19:14.130
<v Speaker 2>and attractions and soul ties that are going to be

0:19:14.190 --> 0:19:18.870
<v Speaker 2>like tearing pieces out of your soul. Because the Bible says,

0:19:19.330 --> 0:19:26.619
<v Speaker 2>he who is joined to a harlot There's an open

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:30.460
<v Speaker 2>door to darkness because of that. So we need to

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.810
<v Speaker 2>be joined to the right woman from day one.

0:19:36.530 --> 0:19:37.190
<v Speaker 4>Y'all with me?

0:19:40.790 --> 0:19:43.510
<v Speaker 2>Some of y'all are teaching your children to sow their

0:19:43.570 --> 0:19:48.890
<v Speaker 2>wild oats. Don't tell young boys that. Their oats aren't wild.

0:19:50.490 --> 0:19:52.830
<v Speaker 2>And we got all these babies to understand that they

0:19:52.869 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 2>ain't shooting blanks.

0:19:55.660 --> 0:19:57.380
<v Speaker 4>So we need to teach.

0:19:58.020 --> 0:20:03.690
<v Speaker 2>Responsibility and God's order of things today. And we kind

0:20:03.710 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 2>of call those gold families that have vision. And we'll

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.580
<v Speaker 2>come back and have a whole message talking about how

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.420
<v Speaker 2>we set a vision for our family. Bring God into

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 2>the mix and move in the purposes of God.

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.590
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to The Hope Connection. We'll be right back

0:20:21.650 --> 0:20:25.410
<v Speaker 3>to conclude today's message. But first, each month, The Hope

<v Speaker 3>with God. One way to be connected to God is

0:21:13.460 --> 0:21:14.540
<v Speaker 4>Message number four.

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 2>We're going to deal with how we, as we love our.

0:21:18.420 --> 0:21:21.719
<v Speaker 4>City, we need street cred. Would you say that with me?

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 2>We need street cred.

0:21:25.100 --> 0:21:28.869
<v Speaker 4>Can you say it? We need street cred.

0:21:29.210 --> 0:21:33.030
<v Speaker 2>In other words, we got to live something that's tangible.

0:21:33.450 --> 0:21:36.330
<v Speaker 2>We've been guilty as a church of talking a bunch

0:21:36.390 --> 0:21:40.130
<v Speaker 2>of stuff that we can't back up. Talking about we

0:21:40.230 --> 0:21:43.580
<v Speaker 2>love people and ain't nobody feeling the love.

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Is that all right?

0:21:45.420 --> 0:21:48.690
<v Speaker 2>So we need some street cred. Can you say it

0:21:48.780 --> 0:21:52.700
<v Speaker 2>one more time with me? We need street cred. So

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:57.419
<v Speaker 2>everywhere we step in our city, we need to step

0:21:57.500 --> 0:22:03.070
<v Speaker 2>with an expectation that God will show up. Joshua 1,

0:22:03.070 --> 0:22:07.060
<v Speaker 2>3 in the voice translation said, the Lord said, I

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 2>will give you every place you walk, wherever your feet touch,

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.199
<v Speaker 2>just as I promised Moses. Some of us are going

0:22:17.220 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 2>to have to believe that God's going to give us

0:22:21.300 --> 0:22:24.660
<v Speaker 2>these places. And in that message, we'll define a little

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:29.920
<v Speaker 2>bit more about what we're specifically believing God for. Some

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.780
<v Speaker 2>of us are just believing for some eerie, spiry, Casper

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:38.629
<v Speaker 2>the Friendly Ghost revival. And God said, no, I want

0:22:38.670 --> 0:22:42.389
<v Speaker 2>to do something much more tangible in your day, in

0:22:42.430 --> 0:22:43.070
<v Speaker 2>your hour.

0:22:44.570 --> 0:22:44.909
<v Speaker 4>Amen.

0:22:46.330 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 2>And then finally, we're going to believe that our prayers

0:22:52.820 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 2>will turn the heart of our city back to God.

0:22:57.140 --> 0:23:00.700
<v Speaker 2>That's something to believe that our prayers can have impact.

0:23:01.380 --> 0:23:01.950
<v Speaker 4>But he said it.

0:23:02.630 --> 0:23:06.209
<v Speaker 2>Look at Jeremiah 29, 7. I close with this. Pray

0:23:06.310 --> 0:23:09.990
<v Speaker 2>to the Lord for it. Talking about the city. For

0:23:10.109 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 2>its welfare will determine your welfare. In other words, if

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.500
<v Speaker 2>America is blessed, I don't care whether you like 45

0:23:19.500 --> 0:23:22.410
<v Speaker 2>or not, but we need to pray that God make

0:23:22.430 --> 0:23:26.690
<v Speaker 2>America greater than it is. Come on, somebody. Oh, I

0:23:26.730 --> 0:23:28.990
<v Speaker 2>don't care whether you don't like it or not. You

0:23:29.010 --> 0:23:32.130
<v Speaker 2>are simple if you're sitting back talking about America.

0:23:32.210 --> 0:23:35.820
<v Speaker 4>I don't want America to be great. You need to pray.

0:23:35.380 --> 0:23:39.620
<v Speaker 2>That all these heathens, even the bigots and the bad boys,

0:23:40.100 --> 0:23:42.690
<v Speaker 2>they get right and get their thinking right.

0:23:43.109 --> 0:23:43.650
<v Speaker 4>We need to.

0:23:43.609 --> 0:23:46.930
<v Speaker 2>Pray for the blessing of God to come upon our land.

0:23:46.990 --> 0:23:47.730
<v Speaker 4>Come on, somebody.

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 2>We need to understand that sex trafficking has still happened.

0:23:52.700 --> 0:23:55.780
<v Speaker 2>And most of the kids sex trafficked in America today

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:57.100
<v Speaker 2>are black and Hispanic.

0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.639
<v Speaker 4>You got a dog in this fight.

0:24:00.070 --> 0:24:02.690
<v Speaker 2>You're thinking that all that stuff is some kind of

0:24:03.090 --> 0:24:07.350
<v Speaker 2>white political issue. I'm here to tell you that God

0:24:07.390 --> 0:24:10.869
<v Speaker 2>wants to set some captives free. And you're the only

0:24:10.930 --> 0:24:14.670
<v Speaker 2>set of hands God's got. You're the only feet God's got.

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 2>You're the only voice that God has got.

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.420
<v Speaker 4>We need the church to rise.

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 2>And we need to cry out, let God arise with

0:24:26.420 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 2>healing in his wing.

0:24:30.940 --> 0:24:33.690
