Brian Guerin

Brian Guerin (birth year unknown–present). Brian Guerin is an American pastor, author, and founder of Bridal Glory International and Ascend Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Raised in a non-religious home, he became a Christian in college after a profound spiritual experience he described as a divine encounter with a falcon, which ignited his pursuit of intimacy with God. Guerin serves as the senior leader of Ascend Church, where his preaching emphasizes a deep relationship with Jesus, the power of God’s presence, and preparing believers for Christ’s return. He founded Ascend Academy, a ministry school, and travels globally, speaking at conferences and on platforms like TBN and GOD-TV, often highlighting signs, wonders, and prophetic insights. His books, including God of Wonders: Experiencing God’s Voice Through Signs, Wonders, and Miracles, To Know Him: Discovering Experiential Intimacy with God, The Altar: Preparing for the Return of Jesus Christ, and Divine Encounter, focus on spiritual growth and encountering God. Known for sermons like “Mary’s at His Feet” and “The Secret Place,” he encourages distraction-free prayer and devotion, drawing from Scriptures like Luke 10:41–42 and Matthew 6:6. Guerin’s ministry seeks to draw the Church into closeness with Christ, which he calls the “highest prize in life.” He said, “Your heart can burn, and you still not know Him.”

Sermon Transcription
Wow, praise God, everybody can be seated. How are you guys doing? Y'all, y'all. That was amazing. Give a hand for the worship, huh? That was incredible. Man, come on, Jesus. Get situated, okay. Wow, so I feel the presence of God here. How about you all? I'm excited, and so first off, just such an honor to be back with y'all. Love, Pastor Matt and Stevie. Hey, I didn't get to see you yet. How many of you are from this house locally? Okay, wow. Yeah, just want to honor, listen, your pastors. You may not, you know, I just feel like sometimes when you're in the house, you can take for granted what you have before you. And listen, I travel all over by the grace of God, and they are the real deal. Deep in the Word. Yeah, like he said today, you should have seen us, man. We were, we looked like camouflage Rambos. I mean, it was, it was nice. Hopefully by Saturday, we can get a big, the media team to throw us up there or something. But guns, the whole bit, didn't kill anything. So you ladies should love that. But got a good time in the presence, and it was awesome. Couple turkeys almost went to heaven though. They crossed my, I saw my text, our group text, Irby and Pastor Matt. I was like, hey, can we take out turkeys? They were like, no, I got to wait another month. It's not season yet. I was like, okay. So they're still living. But anyway, but man, Pastor Matt and Pastor Stevie, listen, they are the real deal. Just madly in love with Jesus and getting to know them more and more. Just hosting the presence of God, but deep in the Word, but real people. How many of you appreciate that? My goodness. And just impacting the earth greatly. And so it's such an honor to be with you guys. And so we're going to just jump in if that's okay. I don't really know what all is going to happen. I know I saw some stuff. I don't always know what's going to happen most of the time, honestly, but if we were honest and, but I want to make room for the Holy Spirit to move, if that's okay. In worship, I was like, man, these are Thursday. This is a Thursday night crowd. You know, I'm not, I've been around the block a couple of times. And if you come on Thursday night, look, people have work tomorrow. Kids have school. And so if you still came on Thursday night, I know it's a hungry group. And hunger is a dangerous thing in the presence of God. So I want to raise your expectations, expectancy, sorry. And I'm not going to keep you long, but I believe the Holy Spirit is going to blow through here powerfully. I really sense that and would love to lay hands on some of you guys if that's okay. Pastor Matt gave me the green light on that in this day and hour. And I believe the Holy Spirit is going to touch many of you powerfully. I don't even know the laying on of hands is very biblical. Yeah. And nowadays I'm just being honest when you get that open door, I love to just take advantage of it. We've just seen too much happen, um, by the design of heaven in the biblical way that Jesus just does things. You know, he just uses his body, but people get healed in their bodies. How many of you need healing tonight or a miracle? Awesome. Not that you need one, but you know what I mean? Jesus is going to touch you. Uh, before I forget my son, Judy, you want to stand, wave at him quick. Give a hand for my son, Judah, 17. I'll have my daughter back with us. I think we'll be back. You'll see her Saturday and I'm kind of the bookends. Pastor Matt called me the alpha and omega of the conference. So I'll see you guys on the back end. But, but anyway, she's watching our bulldog right now. Bullseye. He's tough, man. He sleeps all day. He's super high maintenance. Um, but anyway, before I forget my son in worship saw, um, how many of you know when you raise our children up in the things of God, the, the prophetic, the gifts, me and pastor Matt were talking today and yesterday. And how many of you know, if we don't have the presence of God, the manifestation of the spirit, like what are we doing? You know what I'm saying? I'm honestly, we're the only religion, if you will, or belief in a deity that has the, our God is alive. And the manifest present runs with us, the presence of God in a star. I'm kind of, I've been praying in tongues for like hours. I can't speak English, man. Help me, Lord. I just got hammered in the, uh, hotel room. I'm being honest, man. I was listening to these old, uh, Brownsville tracks and just getting rocked. I know when the glory comes, cause I started walking, like I'm walking through a Creek and I don't know it until like a half hour later. I'm serious. It just started happening years ago. And, uh, and then he comes, man. So, so I'm just wanting them to smash this. Cause I'm already, um, but, uh, how many of you know, I'm going to let you in a little secret in the secret plates. You guys know I'm all over the place. Some of you don't. Yeah. Don't try and take notes or anything. Um, in the secret place, a little, uh, kind of cheat sheet way of going about it is I would advise if you can find pockets of manifest glory, we're having hit the earth. They're all over YouTube. They're rare gems and they're out there. I do talent too. And gift and worship. I do all of it. Like my goodness, the worship team you guys have here is insane. Um, whatever you can find, but there's rare pockets too, where I'm talking about like four living creature proximity to heaven, tap the earth and you can, you can, you can feel it. And, uh, so I'll wear those out. I'll hit repeat. And then you can, um, how many of the iPhones in here? The other one's probably work. I just don't know how they function. So anyway, you can, you can screen record and make your own tracks. So like, I remember recently I was stuck on a plane flying somewhere and, uh, I found one of those pockets and I said, Oh Jesus, man, just, I don't even know the manifest presence of God is the highlight of any given day. He's it. And I'm telling you, he's it. That's why I love pastor Matt and pastor Stevie in this house so much. You guys are after him. You know, if we should start getting heady and professional, which I love, I love that. The Bible says study, assure yourself approved, but I just love him a lot more in the midst of studying to show ourselves approved. But listen, man, the manifest Moses says, if your glory does not go with us, I'm good. Like I'll pass on that journey. Peter, he looks to Jesus kind of, Jesus gave a hard assessment, eat my flesh, drink my blood to kind of thin out the crowd. They love this, the wonders, but he says, let me, let me throw the cost down a little bit. Peter says, you have the words to eternal life, not going anywhere. Listen, his presence, his manifest presence. This is what you live for. I'm telling you, I'm giving you like the doorway into why you live. When you wait, what is, yeah, today's Thursday, tomorrow, Friday, you wake up and that's what you're looking for. And everything else is far, far secondary. You move whatever you have to, you shut off appointments for him, the manifest presence of God and his voice, which comes out of his presence. So anyway, so I'm on a plane and I found one, I'm like, sweet Jesus. And then so I, I think the wifi was cut off or something. No, not yet. We're on the tarmac. Yeah. And, uh, and I start, you can screen record. I'll make my own pockets, these 45 minutes to an hour. Cause then listen to me, you only have to repeat it every hour. You don't, you only have to think natural for a second every hour and touch it again and go back into glory. Seriously. So if you find pockets, 10, 15 minutes, just stretch them out as long as you can and just step into glory as long as you can. Listen to me, man. The abiding is crucial right now. Dwelling residing. You don't want to high five God on the way to work. See how that works in about a year. I'm into devotions, but we need a biters right now. We need dwellers, man. They just get lost in him. Moses ascended the hill. God says, come on up. I got to talk to you. Current day. That would look like we'd go up to the top, check our phone, text message, no emails come through. We'd go back down, you know, for honest, but Moses waited one day, not one hour, one day, not half a day, one day, a night, two days, two nights, three days, three nights. No, no glory. No voice. Four days, four nights, five days, five nights, six day, a cloud comes. Moses goes further into the manifest glory steps into the cloud. God spoke. So we want stones with, you know, his voice written in it, but we don't want to wait. I'm just being honest with you guys. You okay? I'm saying it in love, but man, we got to go for it. Look, we're in out a hotel room for the weekend spouse, hold down the fort and trade off or whatever, but take times of locking up and being with him. My children know, like if I'm in prayer, the house better be burning down. Don't come get me and vice versa. We do the same for each other. We need him, man. This is not legalism. He's everything. And when you touch him, it's like, oh my gosh, man, the reason I got up today just happened. And he spoke and I don't care what he talks about. There's so much life and transformation and deposit in him. And, um, anyway, I was on the tarmac. Y'all thought I forgot. And, uh, and so I'm recording it and man, I'm lost. I don't care where we're at. I don't care where we're going. You don't even know when you're in the presence, man, everything that seems like a problem just disappears to a lot of people dealing with depression and stuff. You got to get in the glory. The Holy Spirit, Galatians 5.22, he's a tree and there's a bunch of fruit on him. And the Bible says some of his fruit is love. Very second one in line's joy. So you pray in the Holy Spirit, get slammed full of the Holy Spirit and depression doesn't stand that Holy Spirit doesn't even know what that is, that he's like depression. I don't, I don't get that. That's not in my world. And he'll so possess you wherever the Holy Spirit is. There's complete liberty and sets you free. The anointing breaks the yoke anyway. So I'm making this thing and I'm going to pick it up because I don't want to keep you guys long. I know. So we're going to do a bomb. I hope, man, I just want heaven to come, but I'll be mindful just so you guys know, cause I'm very considered. I get it. We have kids with school and how many kids in here have school in the morning? Shaka Laka. Are you excited about it? Elijah? Not really. He was awesome, man. We, I'm telling you, we look cool in our camo though. And the guns, we just at least look the part. But, uh, so I'm, I'm making it and I come out of it for a second. And I'm like, I was supposed to be going somewhere and we're still on the tarmac. Time's flying, but I'm like, man, let's stay here longer. This is, I didn't want to move. I'm just in present. I see all these people. I was up at the front of the plane and sometimes they feel like they're more important up there. You know, these business folks and they're all just getting bent out of shape and just huffing and puffing. I'm just going deeper into joy and freedom and glory. And I should, I know I should have witnessed to them, but I didn't, I didn't care about them right there. I'm being honest, man. I was, I was in he, who is life partaking of the manna of heaven. And, um, I'm not kidding an angel. I know this is a little out there for some of you guys had to literally nudge me one time to witness to a guy. I just, I'd been preaching. I was on some, uh, television network, Christian thing in Pittsburgh, busy. And I got on the plane. I'm like, I like to go on my little secret place bubble. So I'm like, Jesus, I get to be with him in it. And I feel this nudge. It was crazy. Like somebody pushed my shoulder down towards this guy. I was like, nah, man, I don't, I'm just being honest with you or any of you that way, or you just love to win the lost. And yeah, sometimes I'm just don't care. I'm just being honest with you. I need to have a better bird. And some of my friends are like, they're going to hell. I'm like, I don't want them to, but man, Jesus, I'm just praying for me. But so sure enough, I lean over. I'm like, Hey, I found a, just a conversation to tell the guy and just to start the conversation. And I noticed he had the same brand name luggage I use. I said, man, love the bags, had them for years. You know, how's your day going? You know what I'm saying? And so right when he, he started talking, I could sense he was distraught. This poor young man, he still has messaged me to this day. It's pretty amazing. But he, um, I could hear in his voice. He was like, and I could sense his world, his atmosphere opened up to me. I was like, man, what's going on? And immediately, I guess he felt whatever he could trust me or something. He sort of starts talking to me. He was just in Pittsburgh and he was a professional soccer referee. Hey guys, what is up? I'm seeing familiar faces. And, um, he, uh, professional soccer, soccer referee. And it was just in Pittsburgh. We were going to be connecting in Charlotte. And so he's, uh, he's telling me he had just refereed a game in soccer and it was like on the internet and just professional, this big deal, I guess. And he, he red carded somebody or red flag or carded. I think, yeah, I don't know anything about soccer. And so he got, I got kicked out and all this. And, uh, so he, he was distraught because he thought he made a bad call and, um, he thought he was going to lose his job because at that high up level, they're watching you and all this, you gotta be really, you know, this wasn't the YMCA or something. This is professional. And so, so he's like, man, he just couldn't even eat. He was just, he had his food, but he was just distraught. So he goes, do you mind watching this video and tell me what you think? I know nothing about soccer. I don't know anything, but I'm talking to him and, and, uh, he shows me, Oh man, amazing call. I would have done the same thing. It's just life, you know, encouragement. He's like, really, man, he didn't even watch the video. He was so distraught. He's like, here, just look at it, man. Just tell me what you think. And, uh, I'm like, man, amazing. And you could feel it start to lift. I said, oh, of course we're doing the same thing. I kind of lied, but it was, it was in the spirit. I don't know what I would have done, but, and, um, you gotta, you gotta use wisdom sometimes by the Holy ghost. How many of you know, seriously, this is in the Bible. Jesus's brothers tried to tell him to go up to this feast, read it for yourself. It's in there. And they did the Bible says they didn't believe in him, his own brothers, Jesus Christ, it says they didn't believe he was really who he was. And they said, look, go and show everybody. If you're what you, you know, claim to be go to the feast. And Jesus says, no, y'all go ahead. I'm not going to read it in all the different versions. He full out lies to him, but God's not a liar, but he was, it was by the Holy spirit. It was genius anyway. So he, uh, he just tricks them. That's all. And so they go up to the feast and he basically was like, I'm not going, but he meant not right now. So he told him, but they thought he wasn't going at all. So he waits and he goes later in an opportune time by the spirit and displaced. That's what I was doing. That's my biblical justification for this guy. Depression lifts, man, he can eat now. It's amazing. We start talking and he's, uh, he's, you know, he's amazing. So I was beginning to tell him what we did. I was like, man, tell people about Jesus, see miracles, just love Jesus, man. And he goes, no way my back's hurt, you know, something pain or whatever. And, uh, so Samantha, yeah, I'd love to pray for you. We get off in Charlotte and now he's like attached at my hip. He's like Velcro to me. I can't get the guy off of me and, uh, say he wants prayer. This is precious. And he, we're praying right in the busy Charlotte airport. And I go to pray for him and he's lost as can be. He's showing me before he knew I was a preacher. He's telling me all this stuff, like anyway, about his world. And so, but I go to pray for him and he goes, man, I just felt like pure water poured over me because he didn't have the Christian lingo, but he had felt like chains. He got my number or it would to connect. And he was going to send me some autographs, autograph signature of some messy or somebody, some, some, uh, soccer player. But anyway, that was, those are how my, you know, one-on-one salvations work. And, uh, it was awesome. So anyway, let me get back, man. I still want to just pray in tongues. I'm serious. I'm stuck at that mode. I got a shift. So I want to talk to you real briefly, but real quick in the secret place, find the pockets of glory before I left. I'm not going to come back there. Listen, they will wreck you manifest presence when heaven hits the earth and wear them out and, and the talent too, and all of it. But like, there's these rare windows, they happen. Like, have you ever heard of that album by Jason Upton called fly? Well, I was there at that recording. Okay. They, they, they pulled them in. It was Louisiana somewhere. And, uh, man, I'm telling you I was there. He he's doing him. He's, he's just, you know, Jason Upton, he's wild. And, and before that song, before he kicks into that spontaneous song, there's some young kids just cutting up in, in the, in the venue down at the front, whatever. But listen, when heaven hits the earth, I don't care who you are, manifest presence. I've seen it, man. Listen, and don't get me wrong. I get it. We have the kingdom within us and all of it. I know all the scriptures, but I'm saying there are rare pockets where full manifest presence comes in, in a tangible corporate way. We, I was in, um, the Brownsville revival for two years. You drive in the parking lot. My legs would go numb and I'm not a manifest type guy. I get pastor Matt big time. We see a bunch, but I'm like him. I don't, you know, but my legs would turn like jello getting into the parking lot. There was a corporate outpouring. There was like an angel in the baptismal pool. Like you shot him with a taser gun. You go to baptize people. They'd have to have pastors, probably like pastor Todd's. I would think. Yeah. And, um, prostitutes and drug addicts would walk by the property. Didn't know what was happening. The fear of the Lord would hit them. They'd come in repenting, get born again. And listen, man, I'm just ready for that again. I don't know. And that's what I love about these pastors. Like I want raw heaven. You know what I mean? I don't, and the Lord knows that I don't care. That's one of my greatest cries, man. I love we listen, make disciples. I know that we're teach preach train, but listen, we need him to smoke the earth man. In this hour, I don't give a rip. What government's doing heaven hits the earth. Seriously. It means very, very little. There's a King of all Kings, Lord of all Lords. It runs a kingdom of this unshakable and he runs everything. I don't care what seats move around at whatever time he's in throne forever. And there's authority and power. He's going to float through a people, man. And listen anyway. So, um, fine though. Oh and everything changed. These kids that were once just cutting up and they're on their faces, yelling out to God down in the front. I was back in the balcony later. We found out, um, I think his name's Michael. He's on, he was with up to the time running the sound boards, an extra worship leaders would understand this. An extra sound was getting picked up. That wasn't on the sound. And it was angelic, like harmonizing that got picked up into that track fly. Heaven hit, hit in such a corporate way in there and everything changed. Um, anyway, I'm just thinking of old, like revival stories and just, we need heaven, man. And so, so I want to touch on something I'm going to build. Hopefully we'll see where we go Saturday with it too, when I'm with you guys again, um, in that session. But I want to share a few prophetic things I saw because I'll forget. And then, um, we'd love to just lay hands on you quick. I was thinking about it. If you want prayer, if you don't, um, no worries, I totally get it, but it looks like everybody's wide open in here. Um, uh, I'm going to be real fast, maybe an amped up song, but I do want to release, man. I feel like, listen, we've just, we seem too much. And especially when I step into those type pockets, just me personally in the hotel room, there's a deposit that happens crazy dreams and visions open up on people's lives. There's impartation gifts, things just happen. That's the Holy spirit. You know, we have nothing to do with it other than we just love Jesus and obey, but the laying on of hands and, um, and so I'll, I'll land it quick. But first off, Judah saw somebody really pale in worship and just leaning over their knees, very, uh, fatigue and weak. And so that could be prophetic. I know, um, and literal or both. If you need healing in your body, very fatigue and just loss of strength, but also just weary right now in the season. We want to pray for you. I had a dream, uh, last night, actually we were still at the, uh, hunting camp, but where I could see, uh, some females were going to receive, um, uh, inner healing, which is totally the Lord. And that's another reason I just want to lay hands. He does it however he does, but, um, inner healing in a deep way, which the anointing, the Holy spirit can do it in an instant. Listen, I've seen it. It's awesome. He's going to set some of you free. Um, one of the things I saw this morning in the, in the tree stand was beautiful, just glorious and turkeys saved their lives. Um, but I saw the ax at a root of a tree. This is not a fun versus another, not fun one, but just the word of the Lord for, you know, where it would land. But I've seen this before. Um, sometime ago where I was, I was with Jesus. It is a habit for you to save time. Matthew three 10. It's in other places, the gospel, but the gospels. But I would remember one time I was loving Jesus. Like I always do. I just seek him to know him. You know, how many of you know, the pinnacle to all of life is knowing him. And listen, like he said, Matthew 25, when he comes and assesses the final situation on our lives, it's, do you know him or not in a real, real way? He'll reward us to what we've done according to what we've done. But do you really know him? And that's the five bridesmaids with oil. Do we really, really know him? Paul says everything is garbage compared to that. I may know him and become one with him. But anyway, so you seek Jesus, um, from that standpoint, but I got taken into where I saw his eyes. And at first I'm thinking intimately, you know, Jesus to see him and know him, but I see his gaze is passing me. It's looking over here. And as I got deeper into this vision, I saw his eyeball and I could see the reflection in, in his eye of what he was looking at. And he was looking at an ax laid to the root of a tree. Well, I saw a similar situation this morning and I'll just read it to you. And it's encouraging really in God's goodness. It's his word, but it's one of those loving, like he does sometimes to just tell us to amp it up a little bit, but watch this. It says, even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. I think it's a corporate word too, for the body. Um, I've seen where he'll do things like this. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Meaning now's not the season to be kind of playing games. You know what I'm saying? He's looking for like trees that bear fruit. Remember the fig, was it a fig tree that didn't bear fruit and he cursed it. But you guys remember that there's that side to Jesus. And I'm telling you more and more, I'm seeing that side kind of come out a little more in this hour. The fear of the Lord, he's really emphasizing had a dream recently where it's Matthew Malachi, sorry, three 16, where the Lord's looking into the earth, looking for those that fear him. He's calling for like legit ones right now. I mean it, man, the games are long gone and I kind of like it. It's kind of like, man, you know what I mean? I feel like the last decade he's sort of been super gracious and, and all right, get your training wheels going, you know, but now he's like kicking them off and he's like, where's the men and boys. And you're going to start seeing a great divide quick on who that Malachi three, if you read it fully, it says, you'll start to really see who serves God or not between those who fear him. And so anyway, I think too, on a real large level, you're going to start seeing where those aren't bearing true fruit, um, recognized by heaven. There's an axe at the root of the tree. And then, um, another one was, this may pertain to you guys too, as well, because I know about the building, but any of you, I saw a level, you know, the bubble in a level that's got a balance out straight. Well, I saw it like seesawing back and forth and I knew it was going to be a minute to where it stopped to level out, to begin to build. So for some of you as some type of plan or something, it may be a minute for it to level out. And I just saw it like a seesaw teetering back and forth. And I have a construction background that you need that bubble to stop and level up before you can build. And it's a horizontal thing for sure. When I see heavenly type stuff and commission type stuff, it's a plumb line. It's vertical, but horizontal is an earthly happening and building just, um, just so you guys know. Then, um, I saw these pillars for a foundation. We would only install them back in the day where there's high flooding areas. And I knew it connected and I heard keep building them and I knew it connected to Houston. I knew it when I saw it. So anybody here connected with Houston or whatever, but there's the Lord saying, keep putting these pillars in place, um, because of foundational things that you're installing. So just want to release that. Uh, and then talk to you just for a second. Okay. So recently, um, I was in prayer. I feel like it's a current word of the Lord going to do my best to just hit it maybe five minutes or so, and then I'll, I'll land it. But I was in prayer, um, just four days ago or so. And it caught me off guard. I actually went into a vision where I saw, uh, what would have been a modern day, the backside of Samson of all things. I could see his long hair down to his like rear end. He was jacked. I would not mess with him. And he was coming out of the wilderness. And so since then I've been really dissecting it since his vision, it, it, you know, I was locking up for a bit there and, um, well, that's another thing to not to toot our own horn, but just to raise your expectancy. Cause I know this house is in a corporate fast. We are as well as a ministry. I'm just believing for like a Holy ghost collision tonight in this weekend, just to raise your expectancy. Not that we, you know, works and you get more by it, but fasting is notable by heaven too. It's totally biblical and I'm believing for just a collision. That's all. So I see him coming out of, I knew he was coming out of hiding out of the wilderness and on a mission. I saw him from his back end, leaving hair down to his rear end, long, dark, wavy hair jacked in with a purpose. The emphasis was on his hair though, which is the Nazarite vow. That's the big part of that covenant. And so I really begin to dissect this and I feel like it's a word now for this hour and I'm going to really readers digest this thing. I have a whole breakdown and kind of teaching on it, but for the sake of time and just to pray with you guys. But I'm telling you in what's ironic enough, Samson was birthed in a time of, of dark governing ruler of dark governing rulership. And I'm not going to go there right now, but you all know, there's some interesting stuff going on. Just had a dream at a power nap today that anyway, there's just so much stuff, but you just want to be in prayer. But again, you just heard me, it's Jesus and his King, but also there's things that matter. And the Lord talks about them at times. And anyway, but you see these, these Nazarites in scripture, it's an, it basically means set apart ones. The word now is it's comes from Nazareth means a consecrated one set apart. And I'm telling you, I really, I've been feeling this and I've been seeing it different ways, but I believe there's, there are these consecrated ones that are going to start coming out of the wilderness right now that the Lord's looking for in major set apart ways. Spiritually, of course, I don't need for you to grow your hair out or anything, but, but spiritually speaking, and I want to try and emphasize it. Not, not from a legalism standpoint, but this, you heard the song that we're getting ready for you. The book of revelation says the bride makes herself ready. And there's, there's a cooperation on our end of a set apartness that the Lord's looking for in this hour. I'm telling you. And I believe there's a mixture that's still amidst the body that he's trying to get out. So his pure, potent glory and presence can come. And I'm telling you, you can cry out all you want, but when there's mixture still there, the Holy spirit doesn't do mixture. He's a jealous God. This is the side of God. The Bible listen, he's, he's full. He's both. And always the Bible says, behold the kindness and severity of God. And he's a jealous, all consuming fire. He'll have no mixture. And I just feel as this things culminating to the end and obviously his return, he's looking for these set apart ones. And I began to look up with, uh, and we know the story of Samson, of course, how it ended actually ended victoriously. And he's mentioned in the hall of fame and Hebrews 11 through God's eyes, which is pretty amazing. But the focal point on that hair speaks of the covenant. And listen, there's three quick things. I just want to highlight in that they're set apart. One Samuel was also highly likely a Nazarite, the prophet Samuel, who no words fell to the ground. He was set apart and also they couldn't cut his hair. John the Baptist, they believe was likely another one. No alcohol would enter his lips. And every time a Nazarite was birthed in the scriptures, it was under dark governing times. It's very unique, very unique. It's like they pop up on the scene in a consecrated way. And they're sort of out of the norm, an out of the norm group. John the Baptist was not normal. And he came out of nowhere with Herod who then later took his head. You understand it was dark times. Did I ever tell you guys about the, uh, the chicken in India? We named John the Baptist because he lost his head for lunch. Anyway, you'd probably hear that next time. But we knew he was going to be launched India and the mission feels different, man. And we knew this pet chicken was going to be launched in a couple of days. So he got the nickname Johnny B. John the Baptist gave his life for the gospel. But anyway, John the Baptist, Samuel, even Eli's sons were wicked and, you know, visions and the word of the Lord was rare in those days. And Samuel bust on the scene. There's a consecrated group. I'm just telling you the Lord's looking for not legalism at all. The set apart ones are the most free of all because they're so bound to him. There's just nothing else is all. There's just nothing else is all. It's him. I really felt something right there. And, um, so anyway, three main things, just we would spear to look at it in the new covenant. But the old, they abstain from anything of the vine, grapes, raisins, wine. Second one, man, I felt really some shit right there. And, uh, uh, no cutting their hair. Second one, third, uh, I don't know what just happened. Uh, third touch, no dead thing. And, uh, man, it's almost like he's, he's got a company. I'm telling you, let it land where you will, but he's just not in the mixture right now. And they're set apart ones are consecrated. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. When I can get a pure platform, my glory is going to bust in and surprise some folks. And, and some John, the Baptist look a little, a little out there. Like they lost their marbles. Jesus comes after them. These type people always forerun Jesus coming, man. And, uh, so no partaking of the vine, my quick breakdown, just begin to hold it before they're like, what are these to you in this current day? And, uh, I believe are no partaking of lesser lovers. The natural, you know, Jesus is the true vine, John 15. And often if we're not careful, we, we mix with the natural vine that they're not always blatant sin per se, but they're the things that just, uh, quench out and dull our senses. They dull in our senses and our cuteness in him. And that the natural vine of the earth, that's an imitation of the true vine of Jesus Christ. So the lesser lovers, the distractions, the, the cares of the world, you guys tracking with me and we've all been guilty of that. I'm again, I'm not trying to say it'd be legal at all. We were just up in a hunting stand today, trying to take out something for some of you that would get real touchy with that stuff, furry animals. And, um, but attaching your full life to the true vine, lesser lovers. And I'm telling you, the Holy Spirit will start thumping and letting you know of things that listen. Of course, no worries. I get it. But I need you to gaze at me fully. Now I need you to fully diet on me. The true vine, the, the fake vine of this earth, it, it kind of quenches out. It's almost like the wheat in the tear. It looks similar, but it's not the real thing. And we've got to have everything within us going back to the true vine of John 15. Cutting of the hair speaks of the fear of man was really looked down upon in that cultural day to have dreadlocks, long hair. And, um, basically you were immediately like an outcast within culture. So not caring what man thinks, listen, the fear of man has got to go because that's, what's driving the pleasing of man. We were even talking about today. If we're not careful in ministry, you can start to gear things to please men. Paul's clear. He says, look, if I were to please man, I wouldn't be pleasing God. I wouldn't be serving Christ. So this raw fear of God is going to come back that by default removes the fear of man and then touch no dead thing. That's the obvious things of this earth. That would be sin. The wages of sin is death. So these three things, however they would be to you will pray, but real simple, though a real simple three-step deal, man, back to Jesus. First love the true vine, the fear of man's got to go because you can't obey God when you still submit to the fear of man. You guys understand that? And I've been guilty of that plenty. We all can relate, but the fear of man by default forces you to yield toward the things of man and their opinions and their approval. And so you can't obey God purely. Jesus says, if you love me, the true vine, you obey my commands. So it produces this real pure intimacy and real pure obedience. And then the Ishmael stop. You follow me that these mistakes, the Martha busy stuff stops. You just marry at his feet. He says, do one thing. You do it with great accuracy and in a victorious way. And then the obvious number three is touch no dead thing. The wages of sin is death and just ridding our lives of these things, you know? And I know Jesus Christ does this all, but there's a clear cooperation throughout scripture on our part. James 1 27 says, perfect religion is this. We take care of widows and orphans, but also this perfect religion by James penned by the spirit, but also that we keep ourselves unstained from this world. Second Timothy two, Paul writes to Timothy. He says, look, man, you want to be used as a special utensil in the kingdom, a really, really special one. Keep yourself pure. Well, but Jesus does it all. You know, it's I'm righteous in him, but yeah, you are your spirit, but also there's a yielding. Hebrews 10 14 says he's forever made perfect. Those that are being made holy, meaning there's a continual yielding to the Holy spirit, you know? And so, um, man, that we would be these, these new set apart ones in a fresh way in this hour. And listen, you'll jump on the fast track of where he's calling you to be. You guys tracking with me so I could see him coming out of the wilderness. I believe they're going to come out power in a real deliverance way. The Lord's the spirit of the Lord is going to come upon them and like, where did they come from? I'm telling you these consecrated ones, the Lord's like, yep, fine. I can trust them. The motives are pure. They're not trying to do their own thing. They keep their word. They're integrous. They live pure. They don't fear man. So they're not going to have this certain slant always. You know what I mean? And, uh, and they adhere only to the true vine and Jesus Christ. There is no mixture. There is no mixture. Listen, you can get super gifted, but have mixture. I've seen it. It's very easy. Matthew seven 22. You guys have heard me quote that a million times, but you can not know the Lord and walk in, man, prophesy upside down, you know, one person down the other, whatever. And so, uh, pure ones and let the anointing, the gifts flow how they will. So, so praise God. Okay. Stand. Sorry. It went a little longer than I wanted to. We'll pray corporately and then we'll love to pray for who wants prayer or not. And, uh, I'll go from there. Thanks dude. Appreciate it, man. Touch. No dead thing except a seven point that Irby took out. I'm teasing. That's awesome. Yeah. So however that lands with you guys, you know, and listen, I would say, let the Holy spirit do a deep, can we not like, okay, sweet. Another Thursday night or encounter service. And that was a great word. You know what I mean? Like we want it to go deep right now. Like really land. And if the Lord speaks something, um, I've heard it said before that D delayed obedience is disobedience. Like letting me begin to pull things out. And, uh, even I've seen it over this, this, you know, past probably seasoned with my own family's life with my kids. We're just getting further and further away from this world, man. Well, you're kind of getting legal brother. I don't know. We'll see how the fruit shakes out. Cause I'm falling madly in love with Jesus more and more, you know, and I'm telling you mixtures just again, not to get legal, but you guys know what I'm saying? Well, I don't know. You got to stay relevant. I don't agree with you. Relevance is glory carriers, faces shining like a light bulb. That's relevant to me. I'm serious, man. Power shadows, healing the sick. That's relevant to me. I don't care what the latest, Oh, the fat of it. No, I need glory. I need him. I need his manifest presence. I need the fear of God, man. Smith Wigglesworth one time stayed at a guest house. They had put up for him and the wife's husband, what this story goes, the wife's husband was not, uh, born again. And he tells her, he says, uh, he says, don't wash the sheets. And I don't know the anointing, you know, it's not like it can be washed out, but acts 19 is clear. It says there was a handkerchief handkerchiefs that touched Paul and the anointing got on him. And then they laid hand, they put them on sick people, demons shrieked and came out. And there was, you know, tangible anointing. He slept in their bed that night. He says, don't wash your sheets. Let your husband lay in there. Husband goes to bed that night. Lost. This can be wakes up under the fear of God. Repents, gets born again by the anointing. Another one I love and listen, touch. No dead things. Smith Wigglesworth. I've just been on this old school, raw, like man, John G. Lake power. Like we gotta get back, man. Like grassroots. You know what I'm saying? Just, I don't know, man, I want him. And so, uh, but, uh, another story I love is Lester Summerall came to West Smith Wigglesworth house, but I'm about to die, man. I can pray in tongues clear, but I'm trying to speak English and I'm like, and, uh, comes to his house. There's no mixture. Just, you know what I mean? And, uh, comes up daily newspaper under his arm and Smith Wigglesworth opens the door. He sees Lester Summerall there. He says, uh, right when he opens the door, he sees the newspaper. He says, what's under your arm? Not like good morning, Lester. None of that. Just straight up checks him on point. What's under your arm. He goes daily newspaper. And, uh, the Wigglesworth says lies. It was going to come in my house. He made him throw them in like the potted plant. And then he could come in his house. And again, if you watch the news, I'm not trying to say, oh, hell awaits you. You know what I mean? I'm not, but I'm just saying there's, there's something where the Lord's like, look, my word get possessed by this thing right now. Dive deep into it. Go all the way to the deep end and do a flipping somersault off the diving board into the word. Go deep as you can 50 feet deep, man, swam, drowned in it, drowned in the word right now, drowned in his presence, marinate in the glory of God, hours, consistent time. Sometimes we're giving God an hour and we're spending hours on all this other nonsense. And we wonder why, you know what I mean? And why his voice isn't clear and while there's weeds and why these other vines we're adhering to, other than John 15. Anyway. So, um, just want to pray quick corporately and then, and, uh, we'll lay hands on you guys. So just focus on Jesus. God, we just thank you for, um, for you. You're everything. Thank you for your presence and voice. And even now just simply, um, and quickly I pray for those set apart ones that you're raising up right now. Let it be us, Lord. You can put your hand on your heart and say, let it be me. And you say that out loud to the Lord. Let it be me, Lord. Set apart ones right now. Decree in this house, consecrated ones, even through media, anybody watching this be a set apart one in this hour, adhering only to the true vine, touching no dead thing free of the fear of man. Anoint him I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
