00:00:50.876 --> 00:00:52.044

So, he asked god's people to make a choice,
00:01:11.163 --> 00:01:11.864
To make a choice, "will you follow the god of ahab
00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:13.832

The god of our fathers?" one of the saddest scriptures
00:01:24.409 --> 00:01:26.078
One of the saddest scriptures in all the bible,
00:01:26.145 --> 00:01:27.146
In all the bible, the bible says that
00:01:27.212 --> 00:01:27.846
The bible says that god's people said nothing.
00:01:27.913 --> 00:01:30.849
God's people said nothing. they decided to do nothing.
00:01:30.916 --> 00:01:33.285
They decided to do nothing. today's complacency
00:01:33.352 --> 00:01:34.586

The hearing impaired. today's complacency
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.161

Is tomorrow's captivity. you are what you tolerate.
00:01:43.662 --> 00:01:46.865
You are what you tolerate. truth must never be sacrificed
00:01:46.932 --> 00:01:49.568
Truth must never be sacrificed on the altar of political,
00:01:49.635 --> 00:01:50.702

00:01:50.769 --> 00:01:53.772
Cultural, or sexual expediency. and i want you to hear --
00:01:53.839 --> 00:01:54.806
And i want you to hear -- we need a church in america.
00:01:54.873 --> 00:01:56.175
We need a church in america. we have to reconcile
00:01:56.241 --> 00:01:56.875
We have to reconcile our eschatology,
00:01:56.942 --> 00:01:58.310
Our eschatology, our missiology
00:01:58.377 --> 00:01:59.077
Our missiology as we kick off 2025,
00:01:59.144 --> 00:02:01.146
As we kick off 2025, which i declare by faith.
00:02:01.213 --> 00:02:02.681
Which i declare by faith. not with some sort
00:02:02.748 --> 00:02:03.515
Not with some sort of prophetic spaghetti
00:02:03.582 --> 00:02:04.816
Of prophetic spaghetti on the proverbial wall.
00:02:04.883 --> 00:02:05.918
On the proverbial wall. but i truly believe
00:02:05.984 --> 00:02:07.519
But i truly believe that if jesus
00:02:07.586 --> 00:02:08.120
That if jesus is your lord and savior,
00:02:08.187 --> 00:02:09.755

But it means what? it means that it's time for you
00:02:18.830 --> 00:02:20.599
It means that it's time for you to pick up your mantle
00:02:20.666 --> 00:02:21.567
To pick up your mantle and reconcile your eschatology
00:02:21.633 --> 00:02:23.435
And reconcile your eschatology or your missiology.
00:02:23.502 --> 00:02:24.836
Or your missiology. which means what?
00:02:24.903 --> 00:02:26.238
Which means what? we all believe
00:02:26.305 --> 00:02:27.206
We all believe that jesus is coming,
00:02:27.272 --> 00:02:28.640
That jesus is coming, but while we are waiting
00:02:28.707 --> 00:02:29.474
But while we are waiting for jesus to come down,
00:02:29.541 --> 00:02:31.009
For jesus to come down, he's waiting for his church
00:02:31.076 --> 00:02:32.077
He's waiting for his church to stand up.
00:02:32.144 --> 00:02:33.278

>> congregation: drought, fire, and rain.
00:14:27.558 --> 00:14:28.459
Fire, and rain. >> that prophet,

>> that prophet, he had the mantle on him
00:14:29.060 --> 00:14:30.361
He had the mantle on him when he decreed a drought,
00:14:30.428 --> 00:14:32.163
When he decreed a drought, prayed down fire,
00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:32.997
Prayed down fire, and subsequently emerged

Presumptuous here. i wanna ask,
00:14:38.870 --> 00:14:39.570
I wanna ask, if you've been through
00:14:39.637 --> 00:14:40.705
If you've been through at least in the past
00:14:40.772 --> 00:14:41.773
At least in the past four years, five years,
00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:43.141
Four years, five years, if you've been through
00:14:43.207 --> 00:14:44.042
If you've been through on significant spiritual,
00:14:44.108 --> 00:14:45.576
On significant spiritual, relational, financial drought,
00:14:45.643 --> 00:14:47.312
Relational, financial drought, raise one hand.
00:14:47.378 --> 00:14:49.314
Raise one hand. if you've been through
00:14:49.380 --> 00:14:49.881
If you've been through a dry season in your life,
00:14:49.948 --> 00:14:50.949
A dry season in your life, raise one hand.
00:14:51.015 --> 00:14:51.950
Raise one hand. if you've been through
00:14:52.016 --> 00:14:52.450
If you've been through a couple of moment that you --
00:14:52.517 --> 00:14:53.618
A couple of moment that you -- where you went like,
00:14:53.685 --> 00:14:54.285
Where you went like, "what's happening here?"
00:14:54.352 --> 00:14:55.687
"what's happening here?" raise both hands.
00:14:55.753 --> 00:14:57.622
Raise both hands. let's just be honest.
00:14:57.689 --> 00:14:58.156
Let's just be honest. if you've been through so many
00:14:58.222 --> 00:14:58.890
If you've been through so many droughts you've lost count,
00:14:58.957 --> 00:15:00.124
Droughts you've lost count, raise both hands and a foot.
00:15:00.191 --> 00:15:01.259
[laughter]
00:15:01.592 --> 00:15:02.360
If you've been through
00:15:02.794 --> 00:15:03.294
If you've been through so many droughts that
00:15:03.361 --> 00:15:04.195
So many droughts that if i google the word, "drought,"
00:15:04.262 --> 00:15:05.396
If i google the word, "drought," automatically the algorithm
00:15:05.463 --> 00:15:07.065
Automatically the algorithm would drive me
00:15:07.131 --> 00:15:07.799
Would drive me to your instagram account.
00:15:07.865 --> 00:15:10.134
To your instagram account. we've all been through droughts,
00:15:10.201 --> 00:15:12.470
We've all been through droughts, all of us.
00:15:12.537 --> 00:15:13.438
All of us. oh, by the way,
00:15:13.504 --> 00:15:14.138
Oh, by the way, that's the chronological order.
00:15:14.205 --> 00:15:15.573
That's the chronological order. it's drought, fire, and rain.
00:15:15.640 --> 00:15:17.241
It's drought, fire, and rain. there are people that wanna jump
00:15:17.308 --> 00:15:18.409
There are people that wanna jump from drought to rain without
00:15:18.476 --> 00:15:19.577
From drought to rain without going through the fire.
00:15:19.644 --> 00:15:21.879
Going through the fire. and that sort of prophetic,
00:15:21.946 --> 00:15:23.514
And that sort of prophetic, biblically substantiated rubric
00:15:23.581 --> 00:15:25.216
Biblically substantiated rubric is real because that fire season
00:15:25.283 --> 00:15:28.453
Is real because that fire season is a sanctifying season.
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.954
Is a sanctifying season. it's a powerful matthew 3:11,
00:15:30.021 --> 00:15:31.956
It's a powerful matthew 3:11, acts 2:3 season.
00:15:32.023 --> 00:15:33.491
Acts 2:3 season. it's when god removes
00:15:33.558 --> 00:15:34.492
It's when god removes things from in you,
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:35.526
Things from in you, and even on occasion,
00:15:35.593 --> 00:15:36.995
And even on occasion, he will remove people
00:15:37.061 --> 00:15:37.996
He will remove people from around you that would've
00:15:38.062 --> 00:15:39.530
From around you that would've held back the fulfillment
00:15:39.597 --> 00:15:40.598
Held back the fulfillment of his purpose through you.
00:15:40.665 --> 00:15:42.300
Of his purpose through you. so, we've all been
00:15:42.367 --> 00:15:43.768
So, we've all been through the drought,
00:15:43.835 --> 00:15:44.702
Through the drought, but going through the fire,
00:15:44.769 --> 00:15:46.037
But going through the fire, it doesn't necessarily
00:15:46.104 --> 00:15:47.405
It doesn't necessarily make you dance and shout.
00:15:47.472 --> 00:15:48.773
Make you dance and shout. in the beginning,
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.807
In the beginning, that may be the outcome
00:15:49.874 --> 00:15:50.675
That may be the outcome as a praise expression,
00:15:50.742 --> 00:15:52.110
As a praise expression, but the process,
00:15:52.176 --> 00:15:52.977
But the process, the god of the process
00:15:53.044 --> 00:15:54.612
The god of the process is the same god of the outcome.
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.681
Is the same god of the outcome. and that's who he is.
00:15:56.748 --> 00:15:58.116
And that's who he is. so, now i'm gon' say it.
00:15:58.182 --> 00:15:59.384
So, now i'm gon' say it. if you and your family
00:15:59.450 --> 00:16:00.885
If you and your family have been through the drought,
00:16:00.952 --> 00:16:02.186

00:16:02.253 --> 00:16:04.188

00:16:04.255 --> 00:16:05.289
You need to come in agreement that 2025 will be
00:16:05.356 --> 00:16:07.058
That 2025 will be for you and your casa,
00:16:07.125 --> 00:16:08.760
For you and your casa, the year of abundant rain.
00:16:08.826 --> 00:16:10.161
The year of abundant rain. somebody praise like
00:16:10.228 --> 00:16:11.095
Somebody praise like you know it's gon' rain.
00:16:11.162 --> 00:16:11.829
[applause]
00:16:12.196 --> 00:16:15.099
Somebody say,
00:16:15.566 --> 00:16:16.000
Somebody say, "here comes the rain."
00:16:16.067 --> 00:16:18.202
"here comes the rain." the drought will reveal you,

A new anointing. it's not a new holy spirit,

It is the mantle of speaking truth with love.
00:17:15.927 --> 00:17:18.596
Of speaking truth with love. we need to be vociferous

But it's truth with love because if all we do is speak truth,
00:17:44.255 --> 00:17:45.890
If all we do is speak truth, then we're mathematicians.
00:17:45.957 --> 00:17:48.326
Then we're mathematicians. if all we do is preach
00:17:48.392 --> 00:17:49.594
If all we do is preach or teach or talk about love,
00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:51.529
Or teach or talk about love, then we're california hippies.
00:17:51.596 --> 00:17:55.333
Then we're california hippies. the moment we speak truth
00:17:55.399 --> 00:17:56.067
The moment we speak truth in love, truth with love,
00:17:56.134 --> 00:17:57.602
In love, truth with love, and truth for love,
00:17:57.668 --> 00:17:58.636
And truth for love, we change the world.

In a small town called bethlehem.
00:18:24.529 --> 00:18:26.531
Called bethlehem. bethlehem, that's why i have
00:18:26.597 --> 00:18:27.498
Bethlehem, that's why i have a messianic complex.
00:18:27.565 --> 00:18:29.467
[laughter]
00:18:29.734 --> 00:18:30.468
My dad was

My dad was a mack truck worker,

A mack truck worker, blue collar account indeed.
00:18:32.837 --> 00:18:35.339
Blue collar account indeed. but my parents
00:18:35.406 --> 00:18:35.873
But my parents are not preachers,
00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:36.641
Are not preachers, but they obligated me
00:18:36.707 --> 00:18:38.042
But they obligated me to go to church.
00:18:38.109 --> 00:18:38.776
To go to church. my mom gave me a choice,
00:18:38.843 --> 00:18:40.077
My mom gave me a choice, "go to church or die."
00:18:40.144 --> 00:18:41.579
[laughter]
00:18:42.113 --> 00:18:43.548
I chose correctly.

[laughter]
00:18:46.083 --> 00:18:46.984
So, we would go --

I'mma give you the full gamut here
00:18:49.387 --> 00:18:50.488
The full gamut here it was an assembly of god
00:18:50.555 --> 00:18:51.455
It was an assembly of god church that i was
00:18:51.522 --> 00:18:52.390
Church that i was obligated to go to.
00:18:52.456 --> 00:18:53.824
Obligated to go to. i doubted everything i saw
00:18:53.891 --> 00:18:55.960
I doubted everything i saw because i grew up --
00:18:56.027 --> 00:18:57.395
Because i grew up -- i was born with
00:18:57.461 --> 00:18:59.297
I was born with an inclination, if not,
00:18:59.363 --> 00:19:00.898
An inclination, if not, an obsession to mathematics.
00:19:00.965 --> 00:19:03.100
An obsession to mathematics. so, i was born a nerd, man.
00:19:03.167 --> 00:19:06.437
So, i was born a nerd, man. and i love math, and calculus
00:19:06.504 --> 00:19:08.439
And i love math, and calculus is god's language,
00:19:08.506 --> 00:19:09.407
Is god's language, and if you failed algebra,
00:19:09.473 --> 00:19:10.808
And if you failed algebra, repent.
00:19:10.875 --> 00:19:11.809
[laughter]
00:19:12.176 --> 00:19:13.878
So, meaning, i doubted.
00:19:14.412 --> 00:19:16.247
So, meaning, i doubted. then i went to church
00:19:16.314 --> 00:19:17.014
Then i went to church and i saw stuff.
00:19:17.081 --> 00:19:18.616
And i saw stuff. and the stuff i saw,
00:19:18.683 --> 00:19:19.584
And the stuff i saw, i went like,
00:19:19.650 --> 00:19:20.151
I went like, "this can't be legit.
00:19:20.218 --> 00:19:21.752
"this can't be legit. there's no way.
00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:22.987
There's no way. there's," --
00:19:23.054 --> 00:19:23.588

And then, it was an assembly of god church,
00:19:27.091 --> 00:19:28.125
An assembly of god church, so i saw some expressive

Manifestations that some of you may be cognizant to.
00:19:31.095 --> 00:19:32.163
Of you may be cognizant to. and then, i heard languages,

And it wasn't spanish or english,
00:19:35.499 --> 00:19:36.267
Spanish or english, and i went like,
00:19:36.334 --> 00:19:36.834
And i went like, "come on, is this legit?
00:19:36.901 --> 00:19:38.569
"come on, is this legit? this can't be real."
00:19:38.636 --> 00:19:39.770
This can't be real." and then, certain times,

Between the prophetic and the pathetic.
00:22:03.547 --> 00:22:05.216

I'm a pastor, the next thing
00:25:43.534 --> 00:25:44.568
I'm a pastor, the next thing i wanted to say was,
00:25:44.635 --> 00:25:45.636
I wanted to say was, "would you like me

00:25:47.171 --> 00:25:48.005
[laughter]
00:25:48.305 --> 00:25:49.540
I didn't.
00:25:50.341 --> 00:25:50.741
I didn't. integrity tells --
00:25:50.808 --> 00:25:51.642
Integrity tells -- that did not happen.
00:25:51.709 --> 00:25:53.677
That did not happen. so, he says --
00:25:53.744 --> 00:25:54.812
So, he says -- you know, and then
00:25:54.878 --> 00:25:55.646
You know, and then he gives me the layout.
00:25:55.713 --> 00:25:56.747
He gives me the layout. "reverend rodriguez, this is --
00:25:56.814 --> 00:25:57.781
"reverend rodriguez, this is -- this is not the one
00:25:57.848 --> 00:25:58.449
This is not the one in the church,
00:25:58.515 --> 00:25:58.882
In the church, this is the one
00:25:58.949 --> 00:25:59.416
This is the one in the capitol steps.
00:25:59.483 --> 00:26:01.085
In the capitol steps. you know, you --
00:26:01.151 --> 00:26:01.652
You know, you -- hundreds of millions
00:26:01.719 --> 00:26:02.319

Of people will be watching around the world."
00:26:03.020 --> 00:26:04.088
Around the world." and i went --
00:26:04.154 --> 00:26:04.722
And i went -- he told me, he says, "alright."
00:26:04.788 --> 00:26:06.457
He told me, he says, "alright." so, finally we agreed
00:26:06.523 --> 00:26:07.691
So, finally we agreed that i would do this,
00:26:07.758 --> 00:26:08.425
That i would do this, and there's a story behind that.
00:26:08.492 --> 00:26:11.128
And there's a story behind that. i initially said, "i need
00:26:11.195 --> 00:26:12.529
I initially said, "i need some time to pray about it."
00:26:12.596 --> 00:26:13.430
Some time to pray about it." 'cause our church
00:26:13.497 --> 00:26:14.298
'cause our church in california is
00:26:14.365 --> 00:26:15.633

00:26:15.699 --> 00:26:17.434
Very multi-ethnically diverse. so, i needed three weeks
00:26:17.501 --> 00:26:18.335
So, i needed three weeks to pray about it.
00:26:18.402 --> 00:26:19.269
To pray about it. my wife rebuked me
00:26:19.336 --> 00:26:19.970
My wife rebuked me and she told me,
00:26:20.037 --> 00:26:20.904
And she told me, "what are you praying about?
00:26:20.971 --> 00:26:21.505
"what are you praying about? i was there when god
00:26:21.572 --> 00:26:22.172
I was there when god gave you a word.
00:26:22.239 --> 00:26:22.740
Gave you a word. no need to pray about it,
