Brian Guerin's sermon 'Breakfast With Jesus' emphasizes the importance of restoring one's soul through a deep relationship with Christ. He illustrates this through Peter's journey from denial to restoration, highlighting how Jesus lovingly confronts Peter's past mistakes while inviting him to a new identity as a shepherd. The sermon underscores that true prosperity comes from a thriving soul, which is nurtured by abiding in Christ and recognizing His sacrifice. Guerin encourages believers to swim towards Jesus, leaving behind shame and guilt, and to embrace their calling with love and commitment. Ultimately, the message is about the transformative power of Jesus' love and the call to follow Him wholeheartedly.

If you want to turn to, it's going to be a minute until I get there, but John 21, I'm going to pick back up from where we've been. Hopefully it blesses you guys and just changes us, myself included. So, if you've been following us for maybe the past few weeks, you guys can see me in the balcony? We're good? Thumbs down? Thumbs up? You got the TVs? Okay. You look beautiful and handsome. But the past few weeks, it kind of started in, it's really been a series, I guess. It wasn't really intended, it just happened that way. But I started, if you've been following us, in Genesis 15, where Abram, he's trying to kind of step out into the things of God, you know, excess, inheritance, et cetera. And the other gets into dialogue with God. He says, well, the Lord says, fear not, Abram, I am your exceedingly great reward. And that right there, you can camp your whole life out on. That's the prize of life, him. And please always know when I touch on promises and inheritance, it's really with that at the foundation, him. But sometimes we can get top heavy in inheritance only, sorry, in him only, and not walking in the inheritance, and that also doesn't give him full glory. So you can kind of go in either ditch, and we just want to be full. Jesus did it beautifully. He even got to the point where he's sweating sweat drops of blood and asking, flawless Lamb of God, could this cup pass? He's like, no, the inheritance, though, that's going to come through me dying and rising again. No, I'll drink it. You see, so sometimes the obedient part, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's hard, it's costly. That right there, stepping into it, the fullness, gives God glory while we love him as well, and he's our exceedingly great reward. So Abram's like, hey, sounds like a good plan, God, but how's that going to work out practically? God says, I'm glad you asked. Look at my son. Everything's there. So, you know, we went through it. He says, give me a three-year-old heifer, three-year-old female goat, ram, turtledove pigeon. I believe, beautiful depiction of the Lord, what all he's done is a full sacrifice. Before Abram even started the race, he's at the starting line. God hasn't even gone off. And God's like, my son, I'll see all your mistakes, your yieldedness, the offspring birth from your yieldedness. I'll multiply and bless it. It's all in him. It's all in him. Always, always has been, always will be. And so that first week, we kind of springboarded from 3 John 1 in regards to inheritance and talking about, you know, where he says, I would that you, I pray that you may prosper in all things, be in good health, even as your soul prospers. And we touched on prospering in all things, being in good health. And so I want to touch this morning on even as our soul prospers. It's super. Yeah. Thank you, Kristen. She knows. Thank you so much. See if we go to yellow or blue. No, no wonder. No Kleenex wonders this morning. And so it's super important. How many of you know, it's super important that we also like, I love that John nearest to the Lord prayed this, that you may prosper in all things. Be in good health. We touched on that last weekend again. So sorry. I touched, stepped on toes. I was never my heart's intent and don't claim to have perfect theology by any means. We're trying to go better, better here, even as your soul prospers. So how many of you know, it's super vital that our soul prospers. You know, you can be gifted, walk in the anointing power and all this, but if your soul is off somewhere, it can really bring about repercussions. It can, there can be problems that constantly pop up. And I believe in this last hour, he's raising up a bride that really, I pray above all. This one's a big one to me that her soul would prosper above all, you know, and even prospering in all things attaches it. But it also, it's all things, but our soul is super important that we walk a complete wholeness in our soul, which the Lord, again, it's all in him. He's done. He's done it. He's paid it in full. Would it be kind of a sad story if the Lord had paid mostly in full? That would mean biblically there'd be a right for certain areas of our life to be them to be schisms and hangups in our solar problems. And life presents them persecution. You're not going to get around the righteous. Your inheritance in life. At some point in time, you will be persecuted. So those are great. But the things I'm talking about, the Lord paid for us to be full. And he says, you know, he prayed your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. This is a great way to look at it. When Jesus stepped on the scene, he says, you know, behold, the kingdom of God is at hand. What's up, Isaiah? How are you doing, man? Not out of hand, out of reach. We can still be near, but at hand within grasp, the kingdom of heaven. And guess what's in the kingdom of heaven? Complete soul, complete healing, prospering in all things. It's the full reign of the Lord. And so I love John 21 because it's a beautiful picture. A lot of us know this account where the Lord comes back in that in-between stage of resurrected but not yet ascended to restore Peter. And it's deep in his soul. How many of you have had like deep soul wounds? If you're not raising your hand, you are lying. You've got wounds because you just lied. No, I'm teasing. Your soul is not prospering. I'm totally teasing. But you know, just life, it happens, you know. And what I love about the Lord is he's so perfect and true. His sacrifice is so full and complete. If we would just listen to the Father. He says, oh, I'm glad you asked. Look at my son. Look at him. Stay close to him. Abide in him. We can walk in a wholeness. He can fix anything too, but you don't understand what happened. There is no mountain big enough that can compete against the blood of Jesus. The work that he's done is all powerful. Literally, in every arena. Every arena he's done it all. He literally hung there. It is finished. Gave up the ghost and it was done forever, for all of time. Now it's just our part. You guys know I've been talking about the renewal of the mind. Driving away the vultures. It's just a beautiful depiction of the old covenant. Into the new, to walk in the fullness of what he's paid for. Here, in this account, Peter, we all know, it's kind of commonly understood. It doesn't explicitly say in scripture. But a lot of people believe what the Lord came to do is restore the denial of three times. With, do you love me three times? A lot of us see that. I believe you could pull that, go into other revelations as well, and they'd be good. But I love here that, um, kind of the story we're coming into is literally a couple chapters before last supper. Jesus, we all know eating with them. He already says, Judas, go and do what's in your heart. Gave him bread. So St. Satan entered him. Judas is gone. And then he starts talking about how he'll, he'll basically suffer death. And I believe a parabolic way. And Peter goes, oh no. He quotes the old Testament passage. That's what it was. They'll strike the shepherd. All of you will flee. Basically foretells that they're all abandoned him. And here comes Peter, man. Amazing, but quick to speak up often thought a little more highly than himself at this point in time. And the Lord has a way of breaking those type people, but still using them powerfully. It's just awesome. He's so beautiful, complete and true. Peter says, um, oh no, not me, Lord. And he set himself apart like they might probably write about them, but me, not a chance. Boldly. They just had the last supper. He's feeling right. He says, even if you are to die, I'll die with you. I felt like the Lord wasn't even going to say anything. But since he piped up, look, the Lord has a way with dealing with pride in love. He loves you, but he has a way he can, he can pull the rug out real well because he just, he knows it's a, um, it's a divisive wall there. You can't work with pride. You can't worry. You got to keep breaking that vessel. That's it's warped. We've got to stay pliable. And, uh, so the Lord says, oh, you think so before the rooster crows for this night's up, you'll deny me three times. Peter's thinking we'll see, you know, and we all know that the story goes on. They come arrest Jesus, take him into the courtyard, all this John. It says, because he knew the high priest, he got in, he had a way in. And then he, he kind of spoke to get Peter in, which that's still saying something. Everybody else fled. They didn't go that deep with him. Peter goes in. I love Luke. Peter's denials in all four gospels. None of them left that out. A lot of them pick and choose, but that was a major Matthew 10, listen, 33. I think Jesus told him all. He says, if you deny me before men, I promise you sitting that I don't love you. I just, I'm telling you right now, I will deny you before my father in heaven. That's a big, big deal. You did not. And I want to encourage you guys with where the days are heading. Didn't mean to go here, but we've got to be so deeply rooted in him. So brainwashed in the love of God burning that whatever comes our way, we don't deny. We don't come off of anything like not a chance. I teach my kids this way. The face of martyrdom, bring it. I'll get to my bride groom sooner. So I was a little heavy for some, but you just, you don't come off of anything. The word, the Lord, not a chance to Peter's defense. This is pre Holy ghost. You know, they've been with him three years, this, that and the other, but you got to remember what Peter's dealing with here before this kind of healing of the soul happens in a Matthew 10. If you deny me before men. So they go in their courtyard. Jesus is arrested. Peter gets in. He's trying to hang out undercover. They even start a fire to warm themselves. It says Peter warms himself by the fire. So this looks like the state where we're still, we care more about us, our life, saving our life, that we may not lose it, but that's backwards for the kingdom. You must lose it to gain it for the kingdom. And so Peter started this hang up in his soul about putting himself first because somebody asked him, aren't you, didn't you run with the Lord? He's like, Oh no. Cause to say that puts him at risk to get locked up and lose his life too. So he's still hanging on to his life. He denied him once. Another person asked denied twice, third time, because he's not wanting to lose his life. Now he's wanting to save his life. And the third time the rooster crows or whatever. And, um, is that what it is? Crows? Huh? I couldn't remember. And I love Luke. Luke, I think 22 somewhere in there. It says Jesus looked at him. Can you imagine? This is what Peter's dealing with now. Fast forwarding a few chapters to fishing and John 21. They crow twice and none of the other gospels say this. Luke's gospel goes into the details. Said the Lord just looked at him. I told you. I told you, but I'll still build my church on you. He sees through it all. He sees through it all. He's so perfect and true. And so the Bible says, I'm just sorry when I start talking about the Lord and seeing him just get wrecked and thinking about his nature and everything, you know? Oh, so the Bible says Peter went outside. Matthew, Mark, and Luke mentioned this. John doesn't cause he wasn't out there. He stayed in near the Lord. The near we can stay in the less soulless issues you have because you're so in him. Offenses, rejections. You don't know what they are. You don't care. You've got him. You've got the perfect sacrifice. Say what you want about me. It gets easier to go through that. They don't stop, but they become like water off of a duck's back because you're so near him and you're so complete and full in him. You don't care. And that's where John's at. But all the other gospels, since they rejected it on the outside of the courtyard, it says Peter ran. He remembered what Jesus said when he looked at him, went outside and wept bitterly. This is where the soul wound happens. Whoa. And these, these chasms happen in the soul. They, they, they, they form where we're not prospering in our soul. These hurts, these wounds that happened from people that happened from our own rejections, whatever it might be. And all the gospels mentioned that. And so the Lord goes on, dies, rises again, appears. Two times before this account, but this was the third time. But mind you, Peter, so I'm trying to build up to this point. Sorry, it's taking so long. So Peter's dealing with this and you can see it in the word, but it's nothing the Lord can't fix. We've just got to go to the full sacrifice. Abram, look at my son. And we spend too much time going everywhere else other than him. And he formed such a complete people. So verse one, John 21, here we are. It says, um, after these things, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberius. And look, I pray this morning that the Holy spirit comes through by the word and the anointing in like reset souls. He can do it. Londa wants a mission. He can do it in a heartbeat. I remember one time I was, um, hurt deeply. And I was in the right, you know, when there's those things, you always think you're in the right, but I really was this time. I'm serious. Meaning I was just to be hurt. It seemed just, it was right. You know, and, and these people again, uh, it was deception that formed the thing anyway in the first place and all this, but I mean, this was over for real one, you know, I've been through many and they don't stop just so you know, they don't actually increase the more you step on the front lines and just kingdom stuff. Oh yeah. That the volume just increases, but that's why you got to stay into the full sacrifice of the yet. Yep. Yep. Jesus is amazing. John, you don't find yourself outside of the courtyard away from the Lord weeping. You're just, Jesus is amazing. Jesus is amazing. And they were all like, Jesus is amazing. Jesus, my perfect sacrifice, whole soul blessed, prospering in the soul. Uh, but I, and I was learning this back then too, probably wasn't as close as I needed to be, but I mean, it was a deep one. I mean, stab into the back full blown. So I found myself, I couldn't shake it. You ever been there where something hits you at such a deep soul? You just can't shake it. You quote the verses, you put the magnets on the refrigerator and look at them. You know, they don't, it doesn't work. So I'm reading the Bible and not working. I can't focus on the Bible. I'm just, and every time this, these people where it happened from would pop up, I could feel this thing stir up. It was, it wasn't fixed. That's not on the Lord's end. He's paid it all. We just got to go on him. So literally this time they don't always look this way, but I said, I can't, this can't be. And so I locked up. Some of you have heard this account and just prayed in tongues nonstop. I wasn't, I was like, I'm not coming off of this. It was hours. I don't know if it's four or five, something just staying at it. And all of a sudden I got so deep in him, the perfect sacrifice, the presence, my spirit got so strong. The Bible says praying in the spirit edifies your spirit, man, praying in unknown tongues. And so the realm of the soul, its voice starts to get real small to the point where it goes mute and silent and invalid, non-significant. The voice of the spirit trumps and all of a sudden something clicked in place in God and it's supernaturally not only broke, but a love from God. Trust me and me, this would not have happened. It came on me for the people. I could feel it. Not only did I not care. All the wounds were gone instantly. The stabbing in the back. So I'm doing that and all that. I didn't care. I could care less, but also supernaturally deposited was love for the people. So I actually knew him well enough to, to, um, send these gifts, the ones they love the most to, you know, and sent gifts, never heard back to this day. Probably just mocked me or whatever. You know, what are you trying to, I don't care cause I'm free now. You know what I mean? Full of the Lord. Yeah. And, uh, and so, and there's many more and you all could share a similar story, but they just happen in life. And the more we can lock into the Lord, and this is one that happened to Peter by his own rejection of the Lord. Sometimes it happens, rejects people, rejecting you, offenses, all these things start to happen in the soul. And so watch this, uh, after these things, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberius. And in this way he showed himself. I love that right there. You could sit there forever. And in this way he showed himself here. Anyway, I'll get hung up there, but the Lord shows himself in certain ways for different purposes. Um, verse two, Simon, Peter, Thomas called the twin Nathaniel of Canaan and Galilee. Most scholars believe us Bartholomew and Nathaniel, same person, sons of Zebedee. That's James and John. They were fishermen as well. Peter fishermen. These guys were elite fishermen. This is what they knew is what they did. Um, and two others of others of his disciples were together. We don't know. Maybe Matthew, Mark, maybe Philip. Uh, Simon, Peter said to them, I am going fishing. I want to stop there for a second. So again, we're now, we have Peter in this state where he's carrying this thing. He literally three times denied the Lord. The Lord looked at him and said, you know, he went out, wept bitterly. And there's been no fixing sense. So he's carrying this thing. The Lord's gone. All of what they knew and thought they were giving their life to is like not before them. And so they're all out here. Jesus has not really ascended yet. Pentecost has not happened, but it's right around the corner. And this is also a beautiful picture into a person's life of how quickly the Lord can flip it around for his glory fast by his, his death and resurrection. He can do it. It doesn't have to be some long. I hear of these, there's just some interesting, um, takes and ideologies on like inner healing. The Lord can do it in a moment. I'm telling you, you don't have to dig out into the past and do all this stuff. The Lord, it's not really in here. It's not in the word. I get some of it, but some of it just, it keeps popping up and causing these interesting circles and it's all in him. It's been done. So, um, so Peter's like, they're hanging out. He said, I'm going fishing. And if you read in there, it says they all were like, um, we're going to seven of them, seven disciples. Peter had this leadership thing on him. He would speak up first. He had the, it was like, okay, Peter's going that you could tell you can just see it in the word. They followed him. He just kind of had that prominent, I believe demeanor about him, which is God is beautiful. God knew it. That's why I was like, I'm building my church on him. Sometimes that's a good thing. It just, we need a whole soul in it. Whereas John, not so much. He wasn't quick to speak. He was just the nearest to the Lord though too. And so also don't be fooled on is a side note on just who's prominent and used in powerful ways to think they're closer to the Lord. Don't ever think that they're doing what they're called. But when you get to having to watch John's mansion, like, Ooh, I didn't know that, you know, he was nearest. And so it's really about the call and loving and obeying him. Well, so he says, I'm going fishing. And, uh, what I believe this can speak of amidst so many other things is what happens in life, especially when soul wounds and things set in. And then also we're in an interim stages of life. This happens often. Meaning remember what did God call them out of fishing? He said, I'll make you fishers of men. That's the very place he calls them out of. This is what they knew. This was their like identity. But then this happens, Jesus is gone. And so basically what the Lord's often trying to do is take us from glory to glory in our call. And I think often our older identity, even in God and chapters in life, sometimes he'll move us to an interim stage where he has not ascended. So to speak, we haven't ascended with him and gone on to Pentecost in the next chapter. And in that interim stage, it's super vital that we'd be patient and wait and hear God. Because if we're not careful, our natural default can be to go back to the old chapter. Go back to the old identity, what we knew, where we feel secure, where we feel important, what we know. Is this making sense to you guys? Is this what Peter is doing? He's like, I'm going fishing. This is what I know. I feel distraught. I'm not going to say it, but I'm hurting my soul. The Lord's not here. I can't see where the next chapter is. I can't see it. So I'm going to go back to what I know, what I'm familiar with, where I feel important important. I'm tired of being this interim stage where people ask me, what are you doing? And I hate to have to say, I don't really know. A lot of it's pride. If we're honest, I want to be able to tell him what I'm doing and what God's doing through me and this and the other. And he knows fishing. He's like bass pro tournament elite. Peter, John, all of them really, they were like cream of the crop fishermen. So he's like, I'm going back to this. I can make money. He's going back to what the Lord called him out of. He's reverting back to it. And this is where soulless wounds. If they stay, they'll, they'll keep wanting to pull you to pull you back to all hurts that you can't progress with them. You can't take them into the promise and that they won't let you in. It's also the Lord makes a point and a purpose to come back into your life. He's so loving. Even though you denied him, he doesn't care. He's going to fix it. And, um, but that going fishing right there. So huge because it speaks of, like I said, I'm going back to what I know where I can feel important. Again, do something I'm certain of. People can see me and think I'm doing stuff and we revert back and, but we, we don't hear God in it. And if we're not careful, others will follow us. It's all seven more on a boat now. And, uh, yeah, they said to him, um, first three, they said to him, we are going with you also. They went out and immediately got into the boat that night. They caught nothing, but went verse four. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore. Yet the disciples did not know who, uh, that it was Jesus verse five. Then Jesus said to them, children, have you, uh, have you any food? They answered him. No. So I want to stop right there. This is another issue that happens when our soul is not whole. Not only is this constant pulling back, it's hard to progress and move past it. And we want to avert. We don't handle interim stages stages real well. We want to become comfortable with those. It's the whole people left Egypt and now you're in a wilderness going to the promised land. It's like, no, I got to go back leaks and garlic. So I got to go to what I know. It pulls you back. And the Lord tries to come into the stages and keep pulling you forward and how we choose. They're super important. But one thing you can see here is they're out on the boat. Let's call it. Chris is where the Lord is. If you, if you read later, it's only 200 cube. It's about a football field away. Not far at all. The Bible says Jesus stood on the shore and they didn't even know it was him. They couldn't see him, that it was him football field away and even calls to them. Children, do you have any food? They still didn't know it was him. So what happens is also in soulless wounds, if you will, or there are souls not complete. We make decisions that aren't, aren't healthy. We revert back to things we don't know, but also our ability to see and hear the Lord gets obscure. The reality of where he's at, what he's doing. So there's just so much here. Also, you better believe again, disciples are on the boat. Whenever the Lord appears and he's on a different real estate, you're in the wrong place. You chose wrong. He still loves you. He's going to work a miracle even in that to get you back. But if he ever see before this, remember he showed up through the walls. He showed up where they were at. But in this decision, I'm going fishing big. No, no, they chose wrong. Peter kicks the whole thing off from just, I believe so much more, but a hurt state. And that's why the Lord's like, I'm not going to show up. He could have appeared in the boat, but he's like, no, you guys are going back to what I called you out of. So when you ever hear the Lord and finally see him recognizing he's, he's on land and you're at sea, you chose wrongly. You're in the wrong place. Does that make sense? And a soul, not a whole soul is what causes these things. But he says, children, have you any food on that word? Children there is immature. Half grown. He's kind of talking down to him. Number one, do you think Jesus was really wondering if they had food or not? He knew, you know, he knows all things. He's asking them for them sake. Like in other words, don't ever forget this window where y'all chose y'all chose to go back. I need to build my church upon you. And you chose to go back. And I'm going to always remember the dialogue we had before you even knew it was me talking to you from the beach. Do you have any food? And they had to answer. No, we've been fishing all night. Bass pro tournament winners. Can't losing all the baits. Can't catch a thing. I believe he's reminding them, like, look, apart from you can do nothing. Don't ever forget that. And he calls them children, which is like an immature, young, even means a damsel, like an unmarried, just young, like immature decision. You're making the set in the other. They answered him. No. He said to them, casting out on the right side. We all know this passage. They drew in the multitudes. Therefore, I love this. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, it's the Lord. Exclamation mark. And guess who finally realized it was the Lord first, John. Whoever's always. This is always the case. Whoever's most intimately equated with the Lord, they always recognize him first. He had to tell Peter still didn't know. But the miracle. And then he probably recognized the tone of voice. It's the Lord. Peter is him. Now, when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment for he had removed it and plunged into the sea. Stop right there. How many of you, when you jump in the ocean or the pool, you'd make sure to put on your outer garment. Unheard of. But like knee jerk reaction. He's like, it's the Lord. He throws on his outer garment and then jumps in the ocean. It's just so backwards. But what I believe this speaks of is when we're dealing with those, we just have that knee jerk reaction to cover up guilt. Shame is the whole Adam and Eve with the figs, fig leaves. Sorry. God comes at when you commit something and they set in the soul. But what's so good about God is you can can the whole fig leaves and the outer garment. He doesn't carry. He's through it all. He knows it all. He'll love you through it all. He's so perfect. It's the Lord. He didn't feel free. Normally, you'd leave your outer garment and say, boys, I'm swimming to get there quicker. Bring my garment. Keep it dry. But he throws it on. It speaks of the feeling. And this is what, again, a not not a whole soul. The lack of a whole soul. You keep that on you. It's this guilt, the shame. You feel a need to cover up. And often even worse yet, we want to go away from the Lord. And that's just detrimental because then you're so the vultures come in. You know, you don't go to the sacrifice. God says, look at my son. Peter chose rightly to swim to the Lord, which also, I believe, is a picture of baptism. All the other disciples got to the Lord on boat. But Peter goes in the water, pops up on shore to the Lord in newness. And it says that the Lord came in the morning. You all, this is so much here. But they fished through the night. And the Bible says that Jesus, he wasn't going to visit you in your dark state of choosing wrongly and going back to the old chapter. He won't even do it. He'll wait till the morning and then pop up where you're supposed to be. Remember what he called you out of? He'll just keep calling you back to. And in the morning, his mercies are new. Every morning is a new day. The wise virgins, Matthew 25, he comes at midnight. New day. That's all he does. He doesn't know anything else. And he does this with the soul so beautifully, so masterfully. He's always trying to reset and go. He's not trying to dig and go back. He never even mentions in this. Peter's denial. He only did that in the moment to correct the pride. But it's just beautiful. And I love how he does it to you'll see in a second. He's so personal, not trying to shame people and leave negative stigma on people. The John for the woman at the well. Remember, the disciples weren't even there. He does all this baggage one on one. He's so intimate, personal and true. In a second with Peter, you see he does the same thing. But so Peter jumps in, swims to the Lord, throws on his outer garment. And oh, yeah, I have a ton of notes. I'm just talking from my heart. But I probably won't really go to my notes. But there's a list of things for the sake of who it may. Who it may bless. You know, it's funny, my password, not that you care to my iPad is to not have six for your iPhone. iPad thing to nine to nine to nine. Do not be twenty nine. Twenty nine. It's the secret things should not have given that out. It won't matter. Look, one time I was preaching in Houston. I'm not kidding. I'm just like super real and down to earth. I don't think about it. So I was preaching in Houston and dwelling place. I'll be with them later this year. They're amazing. I love them. And so this crazy revelation happened with this like mystery tied in and all this stuff. And so I'm sharing it and had this thing on my phone that tied into it. And I'm like, I promise you got to look. So I walk off the platform. Ton of people there. I don't know. Maybe I don't know, 800 or something. And so or whatever, five or eight. I don't know. And so I was like, look, no, for real pass around. I'll get it at the end. And so I give him my phone and it starts passing down the aisle later. Security is Michael's cousin, Theo. He's amazing. He's like, bro, what were you thinking? He's like, dude, they're just going to screenshot your, you know, or text himself. Get your number. Like, which is how people think, you know? And so, uh, so he didn't get past the first row and he just snagged it and put it in his pocket. I thought it was going around, you know, like revelation. Amazing. The wonders, you know, but I thought it was funny cause that was how many stitches I got in my leg. The 29 just fun prophetic stuff. But, um, probably none of that happens to you. So, but anyway, but watch this. Uh, the outer garment can speak of, um, shame, um, from sin that, that we often commit. And, and sometimes even that someone else may have committed against us, you know, these things, the Lord is a master at removing as though it was not there. If I have time, I doubt I will, but there's so many verses in the word like where he literally resets the soul. This is what he does. It's a lie of the enemy. It's a vulture. If you think that thing well been dealing with for so long, it's so real. It's there. The shame is there. I cannot shake it. The Lord can totally remove it as though it was not there. Even though you may remember the incident, it's like the, this thing of it's not there. You don't care. There's no shame attached to it. It's beautiful. I don't know how he does it. You know, it's kind of like I was thinking of like a simple analogy for just the ease of understanding. You know, if you have like a thermostat or something electronic, I don't know, but say a thermostat, the new digital ones and say somehow the wires get crossed in the back to read accurately the temperature, the codes, whatever it may be. So the wiring doesn't get done just right and then it's gonna start blinking up error, error. You guys know what I mean? Like digital things that do that. Well, when, when we deal with things in life where it hits the soul, often that's what can start to pop up. The wiring gets off. Yes. Error, error, error. The Lord comes in and his blood, perfect sacrifice. He just resets the wires and there's, there's no error codes in where you don't understand. It's not even a part of your life. You don't understand. You know what I mean? And if anything, any memory from it, it's just a strength now to set other people free in the anointing. It's just beautiful how he does it. So I'm ashamed. Not a chance. He never puts it on. People never even sees it. He, he removes them as far as the East is to the West. The Bible says the most loving father, the most perfect like mind blowing covenant we've ever been given. Just crazy. What all he's done. Uh, guilt is another one. So I start thinking about just him, uh, guilt. It just stays on us like a cloud. He, he can obliterate it. Uh, offense. You know, we get offended and things like this. It's not, not good. Bible says, don't be easily offended. Rejection. It's just some of these things that cause you to, you carry them like the outer garment, but also you feel to cover up from shame and different things to swim. We, but we must swim to the Lord and he can remove it. Um, rejection. It could be us being rejected or sometimes us rejecting the Lord like Peter did, whatever it may be. A warped identity, word spoken, things like this. These are things that, um, cause a soul to not be whole and cause us not to prosper in our soul. Look, some people I'm telling you can walk in prospering at all things. Some people have that revelation sowing and reaping and generosity and they have it broke wide open. They know of God as their shepherd. They walk in abundance. My cup runneth over. They walk in healing. That revelation is real. They stay in divine health, but if they don't have this revelation of what the sacrifice has done in the soul and then all of a sudden there's always insecurities. You guys know what I mean? There's always like somebody says just something the right way and there's an offense there. There's something that pops up and what the Lord is, if we'll swim to him and pop up and then a second, I love you. They literally have breakfast with Jesus. We may go a little longer if that's okay. Uh, maybe, maybe I'll try and tighten it up, but, and then he goes on a walk with him and he was forever changed in a moment. This is what the Lord does. Um, insecurities that come in many forms. It just happened in life and they're just not there. You'll get next to the Lord. You were like, man, I don't feel any of that. It's actually gone because it doesn't shame you insecure for what you have me. You know what I mean? There's such security in him. There's no weeping bitterly because you're in there with the Lord. It's just incredible. Uh, emotional pain. You guys remember Isaiah 53 covers that too. Emotional and physical, all pain. He took it on the cross. Um, so anyway, back here though, it says, uh, they basically all paraphrase. They drug the fish, uh, to shore. Peter swam and they get there and, uh, the Bible says that Jesus, oh yeah, we have an image. This is the breakfast part. Hopefully we can put it up. I thought it was cool. Again, old and cheesy, but it gives us a visual and that awesome. So the Lord, he's over there, we can leave it up. I just like it, man. It's the Lord and there's fishing involved and eating anyway. Um, someday the Lord's going to anoint like a new artist. It's like, cause all I have is the older, I can only find this older stuff. But so the, the Lord though, I love this. It says he made breakfast for them. The Lord. Number one, my mind starts going on. Like he built the fire. I think like that was the most profound, perfect fire that there was ever saw made. The Lord made it. He created the trees that even create the combustion to make the earth. All of it. I just want, I start thinking like that. Like did he lay them? Cause I normally will build fires where I lay the logs. My dad taught me this long ways to allow oxygen to suck through to build a good flame or day to do the TP. You know, how did the Lord build a fire? It's the most perfect fire you ever saw. He built the thing. He lit it. Then he makes breakfast. I love if you read in there, it says he actually put the fish on the fire on the coals, Barbie on the half shell, ate it straight out of the fish. Just raw. I just go into like seeing this. You're having breakfast with the Lord. He's resurrected. So in the Bible says, if you read closely, they all got there and he says, look, bring, I love this. He goes, bring some of the fish y'all caught. I'm thinking they didn't catch nothing. You made the fish jump in their net. They like didn't do anything, but he's so kind and good. Speaking to broken souls that are about to abandon and go back to the old chapter. He's so good. Bring some official card. He's so affirming. Like you did good boys. It's like y'all horrible bass pro tournament losers all night long. Didn't catch a thing. Try it. All your fancy baits. But when I stepped on the scene, you can do no thing apart from me, but it's also so good. Bring some of the fish y'all caught. We'll, we'll throw those in there too. He's so good. And you can imagine him sitting there eating, uh, sheesh, sorry, but, uh, you can imagine him, uh, you know, sitting there and, um, I mean, he, he's resurrected. You know what I mean? There's, uh, there's holes in his hands. I mean, he's, he's there. He's picking up. You can see the fish through his hand, the bread. How you doing boys? Miss you. Love you. You're going to do good. It says that they, uh, they, um, didn't, they feared to ask him cause they knew it was him. I felt like they were super quiet other than the Lord talking and he's eaten. Proud of you boys. You're going to do good. Tell him we'll build my church through you. You'll do than me. He's just sitting there just speaking life of him, restoring him. And, uh, he does this, but we've got to swim to him. Look, I don't care the shame, whatever it is that the outer garment you care, who cares? If you knew all of our backstories, we were all like, Oh my gosh, we're all like horrific. You know what I mean? We need the, our garments are horrible. All beauty is found in him. We got up, jump, plunge into the sea and swim to him. Pop up in the new mercy of the morning and he'll feed you. Listen, the Bible says he served them, even built the fire, cook the fish. It says he gave them bread first, which will lose a picture of himself and then fish. He's literally serving them, feeding them. And, uh, and I love in verse 11, it says, uh, no, I'm sorry. Verse 15. Watch this. So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon, Peter, I love this too with the Lord. He knows the human makeup, the body anatomy, whatever he waits and feeds them first. He knows like they hadn't eaten all night. Let me make sure physically they're stable. I don't need to talk to Peter when he's emotionally all over the place. Get some protein in them, some bread. I don't even just can hear better when you eat. Same. You're going to get something to eat. I can think straight. So it says, and when they had eaten breakfast, can you imagine man, the most perfect fire ever is crackling, popping at the exact perfect time. Jesus made it cook the fish to perfection. Bread from the Lord. He's eating it. Holes in his hand. Just, just affirming them, washing them in the water of him. He is the word. And, uh, and then it says when they had eaten breakfast, he said to Simon, Peter, he was doing so much here, reset course, correcting all of them. But then he really had to go to the heart of it of Peter because of the denial thing. And he knew he's about to two chapters later, build his church on him and asked to. And, uh, so he says, um, he says, Simon, son of Jonah. This is really key. And we all know this passage. He addresses him three times. First time. Do you love me more than these first time? I had to say, do you love me more than, you know, this is super key. He does. He's okay. If you love things in life, but if you love anything more than him, you've got a problem. That's a big, big problem. If you love even family more than me, you're not worthy of the kingdom. He says that if you love mothers and brothers more than me, you're not worthy of the kingdom. Um, and, but he says, so first he had to set that in place. Do you love me more than these? I believe he could speak of his camaraderie with his friends, the fish, even that you catch your world. Cause I see you going back to it now, but I've got to reset your soul and course correct your whole thing here. And it's, it's very calculated that he's this time. He says, Simon, son of Jonah, because his dad was a fisherman. He's talking to him from the old chapter. He's trying to go back to. He's like, look, basically saying, Hey fishermen, that's not who you are. Remember I called you out of that. Simon is the only other time he says, Simon, son of Jonah. He doesn't call him Peter all three times because he's speaking to him. He's got to get him out of that old identity. He's trying to go back to, does that make sense? Uh, the only other time he says that is when, um, he says, who do people say that I am? You know, I think it's Mark 16 or somewhere in there. Uh, and Peter says, you are a Christ, the son of the living God. He goes, Simon, son of Jonah, flesh and blood. Hadn't revealed that to you. Now you'll be called Peter upon you. I'll build my church. Cause that was the identity shift. He'd already called him out of that. But when the soul comes out of lack of being whole and schisms happen and voids happen through life and we're in interim stages of God's calling old chapter to the new, if we don't choose right, then we go back to it. He's got to do it again. And so that's what he's doing. Simon, Simon, son of Jonah. Basically, Hey fishermen, you think you're something. How'd that go for you all night long? Caught nothing. Do you love me more than these? Your world? What you know, what makes you feel like you're somebody? He said, Lord, you know, I love you. He says a second time, uh, Simon, son of Jonah, I just start thinking of the Lord. Sorry. And, uh, you know, I love you. Third time, Simon, uh, son of Jonah. Do you love me? And it says Peter was a pain to actually grieve because he asked him three times. And what he's doing is he getting somewhere. And every time he says, do you love me? The first time this is super key. All of it's like so huge. Jesus says, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? He says, you know, I love you. Um, feed my lambs. It's a baby sheep, right? We all know the passage. Feed my lambs. Meaning he's talking shepherd talk. Now, when he first called him, remember he knew his identity was so wrapped into it. He called him out and said, I'll make you fishers of men. He's still talking Fisher talk with him, but you've been with three years now. You know, I commissioned you actually sent you out in the great commission. I'm not even talking your language anymore. I'm talking, Hey fishermen, I need you to be a shepherd. It's a total chapter flip. It's a total different jump in your call. And this is what he'll do to get us out of the old. Uh, do you love me more than these? Yes. You know, I love you. I need to feed my lambs. Cause it's one thing to fish, which he did well at, and even fishermen, the evangelistic work. But when you start doing a shepherd role, whole another ballgame, it's death to self. Anybody can catch fish and pull them in, but sheep, you got to stay with for the long haul. You got to lay your life down for them. You got to do what the Lord does become him. It's his sheep. And so he's, he's, what he's doing is reverting, reversing and recorrecting his soul, resetting it, course correcting and sealing him for the eternal purpose. And if we'll just swim to the Lord, get near him, have breakfast with him. I see the whole revelation three 20 here where he says, look, behold, I stand at the door and knock. He's on the shore knocking. If you hear my voice and let me come in, he swims to him. I'll dine with you and they have breakfast. And then I'll, you will, I'll grant with you to sit with me on my throne. And then there's identity again, sitting with him. The calling sets in, the authority comes back. And so it's that whole thing. But he says, um, feed my lambs. Do you love me? You know, I love you, Lord. Tend to my sheep. He says this time that word means shepherd, govern, guide, lead. And they're not lambs anymore. They're sheep. There's a growth there. Jesus is speaking like over his entire calling right now. That's one dialogue. He's sealing him up to the martyrdom to the end. One dialogue with the Lord can flip our world upside down. Reset the soul in a moment. Seal you for your eternal calls. That's what he did to Abram. He said, oh yeah. He literally spoke to him in the now to the point of his death. His whole call was sealed through the crucifixion. What all the Lord has done. You remember he says, Abram, this, that, and the other, the smoking pot came. He says, you'll die at a good old age. Your descendants will go through a years of bondage, but the plunder and this, that, and now he seals them to the end. He does this with Peter. So feed my lambs tend to my sheep, which is governed shepherd guide lead. Do you love me the last time? And he says, feed my sheep again, but sheep meaning lambs to sheep. And then as they grow even older, keep feeding them, tending governing. And just so you know, you don't get to call the shots anymore. You can't just jump on the boat wherever you want. Fish make some money, come and go fish. You don't tend to, you just catch them once you catch them. That is what it is. No sheep. It's, it's not a glamorous job, the job of a shepherd. So I love that about the Lord too. He resets your soul, but he'll tell you the cost and steal you by the grace to do it. And on this last dialogue, watch this and I'll start to land it. He says on this last one, feed my sheep. Verse 17, if you get down to the end of verse 17, he says, feed my sheep and watch as he continues in the verse 18 most assuredly. I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished. But when you were old, you will stretch out your hands and another will guard you and carry you where you do not wish this. He spoke signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said to him, follow me. So the way simply put, the Lord resets our soul is, is he, we've got to come to him. All your shame, whatever. He doesn't care. My gosh, he's, he's dealt with all of humanity for all of the time. He knew it before the beginning. That's what's so freeing about Abram in the sacrifices and mistakes before he started. Again, do we condone loose living? Never. But again, you make mistakes, you get hurt. Things happen. We come to the Lord and what he's going to do is feed you, commune with you, care for you, never shame you, guilt you. You come in deeper and he resets by reminding your love for him. Do you love me? Love me and follow me. Love me. Follow me. And that's, um, sorry, that's what resets our love for him. Our focus on what he's fully done and the constant following. But in it, he tells you the cost and he's like, look, I'm telling you right now, it's going to be a long haul. This is big. Interim stage are not popular. Glamorous or not. Shepherds listen. They often end up on the backside of nowhere. Nobody sees what they're doing. They don't get a pat on the back. Sheep bite them. They headbutt them. Y'all love that about sheeps. You know, they, they do this and they're wham. If they're, if they feel threatened, I just bought you with their heads. You know, they're very disobedient. They constantly get off the path and go the wrong way. You got to tell them over and over and over and over and over and over and over again to get, no, come back and hurt, intend and shepherd and govern. But what he's doing when the Lord speaks to you though, he, his voice and presence is so powerful and glorious and beautiful. It just seals you. You don't care what the MO is. You don't care what the job is. It's him. It's so beautiful and altogether. Give me the rod. Give me the sheep. They can butt me all day long if I'm in your will. I don't care for the long haul because then you see the Lord says, he says not if, or it's not prophetic anymore. It's, it's, it's a done deal. Meaning you will, this is how you will live and you will go here and you will die a death, which records shows Peter was crucified upside down. He didn't feel worthy to be crucified upright like his Lord and King martyrs death to the end. He's like, give me the rod fishermen. I've never gone back and this is what the Lord does when we have a running with him and we dine with him and focus on him, love him. He's just going to constantly keep telling you, yeah, I get the mistakes, whatever. You got your outer garment. Cool. You didn't bring it. I don't care. Love me. Look at me. Follow me. Tend to my sheep because you, you can't love him well if you don't follow. So there's a cost to, and so they both go one in the same and just, we stay the course and love him. And the things just fall off. You stay in his presence. Just love him. But so-and-so do this. That's fine. You're done. You don't over your attention. Temper tantrum who hurts you. I understand. I was hurt. You rejected me way worse than they did, but he wanted to do that. He just tells you how amazing you are while he's got high standards, but he said, love me. Look at me. Focus on me. I'll never forget. I learned, um, and I'll land it here, but we, I was at the end of a 40 day fast. account and it took me a minute. Judah. Actually, my son was years ago. I was on the 38th day, really going after having this, that and the other. And so I'm on the 38th day. It's just all in the Lord. Some of our warfare tactics and we give the enemy too much credit. We give people that have heard us and our soulless wounds that seem real and they are, but they're not as real as him. They're not as powerful as him. Loving him and following him is the most powerful to train tracks you can get on. As soon as you get on those, everything changes. You'll be a shepherd to the day you die and hang upside down worthy for it. And, uh, and so, but I remember, uh, I was working outside 30 days. Zoe came and got me. She goes, she's like, Papa, something's going on with Judah. And, um, we don't talk about it a lot. I just don't like giving the enemy any highlight reels. He doesn't get any. Jesus does. And she was something Judas, you know, whatever. So I come in there, enemy cheap shot it. You know, uh, he went around me and went at the children on a deep fast. And so Judah went into a vision. He, both of them are real prophetic, but I didn't know what was happening. It was my first time. I'd seen it several times since my mom seen him in one before he was in a vision. I was out of the country. And, um, but it was these four like demonic figures on a, like in his room, you know, trying to attack and just bring fear. And so I go into his room and I'm seeing a blank sheet rock wall and he's looking like freaked out, but he's in both worlds. He can see me and talk to me, but he sees these four demons. And so he's like flipping out. And, um, I gotta tell you this. Can I say one more story? This is just cool. This is a cool one. And I'll finish this one. Uh, listen to this. This happened. My parents will remember this. Sorry if you celebrate Halloween, just, it's not God. So just want to, may want to repray about that one. Listen to this though. This, we didn't know any better, you know, coming up, my parents were, were lost at a young age. Of course they got born again. Thank the Lord. And we, we got, uh, saved later, but they were amazing and newer and some of the stuff. So we didn't know Halloween was bad. We're just thinking buckets of candy. Yes, Lord, not Lord, but you don't know anything in buckets of candy. So I don't know what our outfits were that year. Me and my brother went around the neighborhood getting candy, came back, struck gold, tootsie rolls and whatever. So, so my brother, I forget what his outfit was. He had a mask. Oh, this is crazy. That night you're, you remember this my, yeah, I forget what his mask was. Something demonic Halloween. I'm just going to say it straight. It's totally demonic. Don't do anything having anything to do with it. If you want to figure out a cliche way to use it to outreach, go for it, but it's just not God. So, um, uh, so the middle of the night, my brother will tell you this, these three angels came through the wall of his room. One kind of smaller. They're all different sizes. Three freaked him out. Kind of floating through the air, come through the wall, start floating around his room, looking around and they come by the spot, uh, the bedside where the Halloween mask is and crunched it in, stepped it in, leave through the wall. He was so paranoid. Didn't want to get out of bed. He waited till the morning and told my parents and freaked out the mask. The next morning was still crunched in. Isn't that crazy? I love that had nothing to do with the message, but, but anyway, so, uh, so, but I remember I, so I get Judah. Oh no, I'm thinking all like me natural, but everything's in him. Everything's even your highest vantage point in warfare is looking at him, worshiping the Lord. The enemy hates that you go higher than the snake line on the mountain and he can't go there. You just like, Oh, you little like annoying sparrows. Let me just get on wings of Eagles and just sort of where you can't go this high in glory. You just worship Jesus. So the enemy, he may be yakking, talking manifest. That's man make a lot of noise, my friend, but look at him. Look at him with me as long as you can. Isn't he glorious? Look at his eyes burning full of fire. Look at the holes in his hands and the enemy just starts to screech. They can't hang around glory. Your highest vantage point. That's what I love about like worshipers that Levi's are on the front line. That's what you, you know, but I'm, I'm new. So I'm like, Oh yeah, I finally figured out there's like demons and I go, how, how big are they? He's, he's just trying to talk to me. You know, he's young now. He's like, he's got this side to him that's, you don't cross him in the spirit. Just saying super humble and all, but he don't play. Uh, but young, you don't know what's going on. And I said, how tall are they? I said, one of my angels I've seen before is nine feet tall. How tall? I'm trying to jump. I'm thinking natural. You swing left. I'll swing right. I'm thinking like this. That's not how you do it. So I said, all right, watch this. I'm, they're lying to you. Some of their liars. Why? I said, watch this. So I could see where he was fixated. So I stepped into him. I said, see this. I go right into him. He goes, Oh, he freaked out all the more because the two worlds mix. I was like, that was dumb. I was like, man, note to self, don't do that again. So I'm trying stuff in the natural. Finally I grab him. It's probably the Holy Spirit. Finally. And I go, man, let's worship Jesus. We began to look at the Lord and from his world has been to now. Uh, it's wild. Somehow it's the Lord will come into it and obliterate the dark realm. Um, it's when they just try and take cheap shots, the more extended fast and stuff. You see where the enemy came at Jesus in the 40 day. And, uh, but my point was looking at him is what does looking at him resets the soul, obeying him, following him. And you don't have to get now. Are, is there forgiveness and things? Oh yeah. We teach on that too. Or some of our main pillars, we go through it, work through it with people. There's, there's forgiveness, getting the truth that sets free. All this is very vital. I just met in life. Sometimes, you know, people aren't believers. They hurt you and they don't care. They're never going to repent. Then they think they're right. Tell, you know, to the end of the world and you can't carry that in you. And so it's, it's going to the Lord. So, um, but so good.
