00:00:50.875 --> 00:00:52.043

A final determination." so, he asked god's people
00:01:09.127 --> 00:01:11.095
So, he asked god's people to make a choice,
00:01:11.162 --> 00:01:11.863
To make a choice, "will you follow the god of ahab
00:01:11.929 --> 00:01:13.831

The god of our fathers?" one of the saddest scriptures
00:01:24.408 --> 00:01:26.077
One of the saddest scriptures in all the bible,
00:01:26.144 --> 00:01:27.145
In all the bible, the bible says that
00:01:27.211 --> 00:01:27.845
The bible says that god's people said nothing.
00:01:27.912 --> 00:01:30.848
God's people said nothing. they decided to do nothing.
00:01:30.915 --> 00:01:33.284
They decided to do nothing. today's complacency
00:01:33.351 --> 00:01:34.585

Is tomorrow's captivity. you are what you tolerate.
00:01:43.661 --> 00:01:46.864
You are what you tolerate. truth must never be sacrificed
00:01:46.931 --> 00:01:49.567
Truth must never be sacrificed on the altar of political,
00:01:49.634 --> 00:01:50.701

And i want you to hear -- we need a church in america.
00:01:54.872 --> 00:01:56.174
We need a church in america. we have to reconcile
00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:56.874

Our eschatology, our missiology
00:01:58.376 --> 00:01:59.076
Our missiology as we kick off 2025,
00:01:59.143 --> 00:02:01.145
As we kick off 2025, which i declare by faith.
00:02:01.212 --> 00:02:02.680
Which i declare by faith. not with some sort
00:02:02.747 --> 00:02:03.514
Not with some sort of prophetic spaghetti
00:02:03.581 --> 00:02:04.815
Of prophetic spaghetti on the proverbial wall.
00:02:04.882 --> 00:02:05.917
On the proverbial wall. but i truly believe
00:02:05.983 --> 00:02:07.518
But i truly believe that if jesus
00:02:07.585 --> 00:02:08.119
That if jesus is your lord and savior,
00:02:08.186 --> 00:02:09.754

00:02:18.829 --> 00:02:20.598
It means that it's time for you to pick up your mantle
00:02:20.665 --> 00:02:21.566
To pick up your mantle and reconcile your eschatology
00:02:21.632 --> 00:02:23.434
And reconcile your eschatology or your missiology.
00:02:23.501 --> 00:02:24.835
Or your missiology. which means what?
00:02:24.902 --> 00:02:26.237
Which means what? we all believe
00:02:26.304 --> 00:02:27.205
We all believe that jesus is coming,
00:02:27.271 --> 00:02:28.639
That jesus is coming, but while we are waiting
00:02:28.706 --> 00:02:29.473
But while we are waiting for jesus to come down,
00:02:29.540 --> 00:02:31.008
For jesus to come down, he's waiting for his church
00:02:31.075 --> 00:02:32.076
He's waiting for his church to stand up.
00:02:32.143 --> 00:02:33.277

>> congregation: drought, fire, and rain.
00:14:27.557 --> 00:14:28.458

>> that prophet, he had the mantle on him
00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:30.360
He had the mantle on him when he decreed a drought,

Presumptuous here. i wanna ask,
00:14:38.869 --> 00:14:39.569
I wanna ask, if you've been through
00:14:39.636 --> 00:14:40.704
If you've been through at least in the past
00:14:40.771 --> 00:14:41.772
At least in the past four years, five years,
00:14:41.838 --> 00:14:43.140
Four years, five years, if you've been through
00:14:43.206 --> 00:14:44.041
If you've been through on significant spiritual,
00:14:44.107 --> 00:14:45.575
On significant spiritual, relational, financial drought,
00:14:45.642 --> 00:14:47.311
Relational, financial drought, raise one hand.
00:14:47.377 --> 00:14:49.313
Raise one hand. if you've been through
00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:49.880
If you've been through a dry season in your life,
00:14:49.947 --> 00:14:50.948
A dry season in your life, raise one hand.
00:14:51.014 --> 00:14:51.949
Raise one hand. if you've been through
00:14:52.015 --> 00:14:52.449
If you've been through a couple of moment that you --
00:14:52.516 --> 00:14:53.617
A couple of moment that you -- where you went like,
00:14:53.684 --> 00:14:54.284
Where you went like, "what's happening here?"
00:14:54.351 --> 00:14:55.686
"what's happening here?" raise both hands.
00:14:55.752 --> 00:14:57.621
Raise both hands. let's just be honest.
00:14:57.688 --> 00:14:58.155
Let's just be honest. if you've been through so many
00:14:58.221 --> 00:14:58.889
If you've been through so many droughts you've lost count,
00:14:58.956 --> 00:15:00.123
Droughts you've lost count, raise both hands and a foot.
00:15:00.190 --> 00:15:01.258
[laughter]
00:15:01.591 --> 00:15:02.359
If you've been through
00:15:02.793 --> 00:15:03.293
If you've been through so many droughts that
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.194
So many droughts that if i google the word, "drought,"
00:15:04.261 --> 00:15:05.395
If i google the word, "drought," automatically the algorithm
00:15:05.462 --> 00:15:07.064
Automatically the algorithm would drive me
00:15:07.130 --> 00:15:07.798
Would drive me to your instagram account.
00:15:07.864 --> 00:15:10.133
To your instagram account. we've all been through droughts,
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.469
We've all been through droughts, all of us.
00:15:12.536 --> 00:15:13.437
All of us. oh, by the way,
00:15:13.503 --> 00:15:14.137
Oh, by the way, that's the chronological order.
00:15:14.204 --> 00:15:15.572
That's the chronological order. it's drought, fire, and rain.
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.240
It's drought, fire, and rain. there are people that wanna jump
00:15:17.307 --> 00:15:18.408
There are people that wanna jump from drought to rain without
00:15:18.475 --> 00:15:19.576
From drought to rain without going through the fire.
00:15:19.643 --> 00:15:21.878
Going through the fire. and that sort of prophetic,
00:15:21.945 --> 00:15:23.513
And that sort of prophetic, biblically substantiated rubric
00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:25.215
Biblically substantiated rubric is real because that fire season
00:15:25.282 --> 00:15:28.452
Is real because that fire season is a sanctifying season.
00:15:28.518 --> 00:15:29.953
Is a sanctifying season. it's a powerful matthew 3:11,
00:15:30.020 --> 00:15:31.955
It's a powerful matthew 3:11, acts 2:3 season.
00:15:32.022 --> 00:15:33.490
Acts 2:3 season. it's when god removes
00:15:33.557 --> 00:15:34.491
It's when god removes things from in you,
00:15:34.558 --> 00:15:35.525
Things from in you, and even on occasion,
00:15:35.592 --> 00:15:36.994
And even on occasion, he will remove people
00:15:37.060 --> 00:15:37.995
He will remove people from around you that would've
00:15:38.061 --> 00:15:39.529
From around you that would've held back the fulfillment
00:15:39.596 --> 00:15:40.597
Held back the fulfillment of his purpose through you.
00:15:40.664 --> 00:15:42.299
Of his purpose through you. so, we've all been
00:15:42.366 --> 00:15:43.767
So, we've all been through the drought,
00:15:43.834 --> 00:15:44.701
Through the drought, but going through the fire,
00:15:44.768 --> 00:15:46.036
But going through the fire, it doesn't necessarily
00:15:46.103 --> 00:15:47.404
It doesn't necessarily make you dance and shout.
00:15:47.471 --> 00:15:48.772
Make you dance and shout. in the beginning,
00:15:48.839 --> 00:15:49.806
In the beginning, that may be the outcome
00:15:49.873 --> 00:15:50.674
That may be the outcome as a praise expression,
00:15:50.741 --> 00:15:52.109
As a praise expression, but the process,
00:15:52.175 --> 00:15:52.976
But the process, the god of the process
00:15:53.043 --> 00:15:54.611
The god of the process is the same god of the outcome.
00:15:54.678 --> 00:15:56.680
Is the same god of the outcome. and that's who he is.
00:15:56.747 --> 00:15:58.115
And that's who he is. so, now i'm gon' say it.
00:15:58.181 --> 00:15:59.383
So, now i'm gon' say it. if you and your family
00:15:59.449 --> 00:16:00.884
If you and your family have been through the drought,
00:16:00.951 --> 00:16:02.185

For you and your casa, the year of abundant rain.
00:16:08.825 --> 00:16:10.160
The year of abundant rain. somebody praise like
00:16:10.227 --> 00:16:11.094
Somebody praise like you know it's gon' rain.
00:16:11.161 --> 00:16:11.828
[applause]
00:16:12.195 --> 00:16:15.098
Somebody say,
00:16:15.565 --> 00:16:15.999
Somebody say, "here comes the rain."
00:16:16.066 --> 00:16:18.201
"here comes the rain." the drought will reveal you,
00:16:18.268 --> 00:16:19.269

A new anointing. it's not a new holy spirit,
00:16:48.965 --> 00:16:50.333

Between the prophetic and the pathetic,
00:17:02.946 --> 00:17:05.415

It is the mantle of speaking truth with love.
00:17:15.926 --> 00:17:18.595
Of speaking truth with love. we need to be vociferous

Truth with love. but it's truth with love because

But it's truth with love because if all we do is speak truth,
00:17:44.254 --> 00:17:45.889
If all we do is speak truth, then we're mathematicians.
00:17:45.956 --> 00:17:48.325
Then we're mathematicians. if all we do is preach
00:17:48.391 --> 00:17:49.593
If all we do is preach or teach or talk about love,
00:17:49.659 --> 00:17:51.528
Or teach or talk about love, then we're california hippies.
00:17:51.595 --> 00:17:55.332
Then we're california hippies. the moment we speak truth
00:17:55.398 --> 00:17:56.066
The moment we speak truth in love, truth with love,
00:17:56.133 --> 00:17:57.601
In love, truth with love, and truth for love,
00:17:57.667 --> 00:17:58.635
And truth for love, we change the world.

00:18:23.693 --> 00:18:24.461
In a small town called bethlehem.
00:18:24.528 --> 00:18:26.530
Called bethlehem. bethlehem, that's why i have
00:18:26.596 --> 00:18:27.497
Bethlehem, that's why i have a messianic complex.
00:18:27.564 --> 00:18:29.466
[laughter]
00:18:29.733 --> 00:18:30.467
My dad was

My dad was a mack truck worker,
00:18:31.601 --> 00:18:32.769
A mack truck worker, blue collar account indeed.
00:18:32.836 --> 00:18:35.338
Blue collar account indeed. but my parents
00:18:35.405 --> 00:18:35.872
But my parents are not preachers,
00:18:35.939 --> 00:18:36.640
Are not preachers, but they obligated me
00:18:36.706 --> 00:18:38.041
But they obligated me to go to church.
00:18:38.108 --> 00:18:38.775
To go to church. my mom gave me a choice,
00:18:38.842 --> 00:18:40.076
My mom gave me a choice, "go to church or die."
00:18:40.143 --> 00:18:41.578
[laughter]
00:18:42.112 --> 00:18:43.547
I chose correctly.
00:18:44.881 --> 00:18:45.682
[laughter]
00:18:46.082 --> 00:18:46.983
So, we would go --

I'mma give you the full gamut here
00:18:49.386 --> 00:18:50.487
The full gamut here it was an assembly of god
00:18:50.554 --> 00:18:51.454
It was an assembly of god church that i was
00:18:51.521 --> 00:18:52.389
Church that i was obligated to go to.
00:18:52.455 --> 00:18:53.823
Obligated to go to. i doubted everything i saw
00:18:53.890 --> 00:18:55.959
I doubted everything i saw because i grew up --
00:18:56.026 --> 00:18:57.394
Because i grew up -- i was born with
00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:59.296
I was born with an inclination, if not,
00:18:59.362 --> 00:19:00.897
An inclination, if not, an obsession to mathematics.
00:19:00.964 --> 00:19:03.099
An obsession to mathematics. so, i was born a nerd, man.
00:19:03.166 --> 00:19:06.436
So, i was born a nerd, man. and i love math, and calculus
00:19:06.503 --> 00:19:08.438
And i love math, and calculus is god's language,
00:19:08.505 --> 00:19:09.406
Is god's language, and if you failed algebra,
00:19:09.472 --> 00:19:10.807
And if you failed algebra, repent.
00:19:10.874 --> 00:19:11.808
[laughter]
00:19:12.175 --> 00:19:13.877
So, meaning, i doubted.
00:19:14.411 --> 00:19:16.246
So, meaning, i doubted. then i went to church
00:19:16.313 --> 00:19:17.013
Then i went to church and i saw stuff.
00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:18.615
And i saw stuff. and the stuff i saw,
00:19:18.682 --> 00:19:19.583
And the stuff i saw, i went like,
00:19:19.649 --> 00:19:20.150
I went like, "this can't be legit.
00:19:20.217 --> 00:19:21.751
"this can't be legit. there's no way.
00:19:21.818 --> 00:19:22.986
There's no way. there's," --
00:19:23.053 --> 00:19:23.587
There's," -- and i'm like

And then, it was an assembly of god church,
00:19:27.090 --> 00:19:28.124
An assembly of god church, so i saw some expressive

Manifestations that some of you may be cognizant to.
00:19:31.094 --> 00:19:32.162
Of you may be cognizant to. and then, i heard languages,

And then, i heard languages, and it wasn't

And it wasn't spanish or english,
00:19:35.498 --> 00:19:36.266
Spanish or english, and i went like,
00:19:36.333 --> 00:19:36.833
And i went like, "come on, is this legit?
00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:38.568
"come on, is this legit? this can't be real."
00:19:38.635 --> 00:19:39.769
This can't be real." and then, certain times,

So, i'm going, "maybe he's not getting me."
00:25:27.984 --> 00:25:29.919
"maybe he's not getting me." i go, "would you

I go, "would you like me to pray?"

00:25:32.155 --> 00:25:33.122
[laughter]

I'm a pastor, the next thing
00:25:43.533 --> 00:25:44.567
I'm a pastor, the next thing i wanted to say was,
00:25:44.634 --> 00:25:45.635
I wanted to say was, "would you like me
00:25:45.702 --> 00:25:46.502
"would you like me to raise a tithing

To raise a tithing and the offerings and...
00:25:47.170 --> 00:25:48.004
[laughter]
00:25:48.304 --> 00:25:49.539
I didn't.
00:25:50.340 --> 00:25:50.740
I didn't. integrity tells --
00:25:50.807 --> 00:25:51.641
Integrity tells -- that did not happen.
00:25:51.708 --> 00:25:53.676
That did not happen. so, he says --
00:25:53.743 --> 00:25:54.811
So, he says -- you know, and then
00:25:54.877 --> 00:25:55.645
You know, and then he gives me the layout.
00:25:55.712 --> 00:25:56.746
He gives me the layout. "reverend rodriguez, this is --
00:25:56.813 --> 00:25:57.780
"reverend rodriguez, this is -- this is not the one
00:25:57.847 --> 00:25:58.448
This is not the one in the church,
00:25:58.514 --> 00:25:58.881
In the church, this is the one
00:25:58.948 --> 00:25:59.415
This is the one in the capitol steps.
00:25:59.482 --> 00:26:01.084
In the capitol steps. you know, you --
00:26:01.150 --> 00:26:01.651
You know, you -- hundreds of millions
00:26:01.718 --> 00:26:02.318

Of people will be watching around the world."
00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:04.087
Around the world." and i went --
00:26:04.153 --> 00:26:04.721
And i went -- he told me, he says, "alright."
00:26:04.787 --> 00:26:06.456
He told me, he says, "alright." so, finally we agreed
00:26:06.522 --> 00:26:07.690
So, finally we agreed that i would do this,
00:26:07.757 --> 00:26:08.424
That i would do this, and there's a story behind that.
00:26:08.491 --> 00:26:11.127
And there's a story behind that. i initially said, "i need
00:26:11.194 --> 00:26:12.528
I initially said, "i need some time to pray about it."
00:26:12.595 --> 00:26:13.429
Some time to pray about it." 'cause our church
00:26:13.496 --> 00:26:14.297
'cause our church in california is

So, i needed three weeks to pray about it.

To pray about it. my wife rebuked me
00:26:19.335 --> 00:26:19.969
My wife rebuked me and she told me,
00:26:20.036 --> 00:26:20.903
And she told me, "what are you praying about?
00:26:20.970 --> 00:26:21.504
"what are you praying about? i was there when god
00:26:21.571 --> 00:26:22.171
I was there when god gave you a word.
00:26:22.238 --> 00:26:22.739
Gave you a word. no need to pray about it,
