Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Street Preachers Origin Story

• Personal Beginnings: Phil shares how the podcast began with a burden from God, a $10,000 investment in a basement studio, and months of praying for the right partner—until a “divine encounter” with Tim (01:50).
• Converging Callings: Both had empty podcast chairs in their studios, both prayed for a co-host. Their meeting was orchestrated by God, leading to their partnership (05:15).
• Vision: From day one, they felt called to break out of the studio and record on the streets, believing that “revival doesn’t wait for a microphone” (06:30).

2. The Countdown – Urgency of the Hour

• Prophetic Tone: Phil and Tim warn time is running out for complacency. Reference to global trends (like identity chip mandates in the UK) as signs of the times (07:23).
• Memorable Quote:

  “God has put a clock on humanity, and that clock is counting backwards... That clock is going to strike zero, and when it strikes zero, everybody’s fate will be sealed. Time is running out on us.” – Phil (07:23)

3. The Unpopular Message – Repentance & Holiness

• Message Rarely Preached: The focus is not on “sexy” conference topics or prosperity, but “two words” every believer must wrestle with: repentance and holiness (13:06).
• Sin’s Influence: Sin infects every faculty of human life and frustrates even Christian communities, yet God calls His people to witness by living differently (09:05).
• Authenticity:

  “It’s not enough to have ‘Christian’ as your tag, or ‘woman of God’ in your bio, without a life to match.” – (10:00)

4. Repentance – Peter’s Restoration as Blueprint

• Text Explored: John 21:15-17 — Jesus restores Peter after his denial, not by asking for proof, but by asking “Do you love me?” three times, echoing Peter’s three denials (15:51–17:21).

• Memorable Moment:

  “The reason He asked him three times, ‘Do you love me?’ is because Peter denied Jesus three times. In Hebraic culture, the rabbi restores the fallen at the place of their fall.” – Tim (15:51)

• True Repentance Defined:

  “Repentance is not just an apology—it's a permanent pivot in mindset, behavior, and direction.” – Phil (18:20)

• Pastoral Challenge:

  “You’ve done Christianity and worldliness for too long... What the Lord is calling you to is a permanent pivot.” – Phil (19:12)

5. Breaking “Moralistic Deism” and Nominal Christianity

• False Security: Warning against the “placebo” of believing oneself good (moralistic deism) rather than truly repentant (24:00).

• “This is us thinking we’re justified because we’re good people… The Scripture says no one is good.” – Phil (24:00)

6. Beyond Religion – Embracing Discipleship and Discipline

• Religion vs. Relationship: Having practices but lacking transformation—knowing about Jesus rather than knowing Him personally (27:05–28:31).
• Discipline: The importance of denying oneself and practicing real discipline as a mark of following Jesus (28:33).

7. Holiness – Not Legalism, Not Perfection, but Separation

• Scriptural Call: First Peter 1:13–16. Holiness is “being set apart,” not external show or legalism (34:46–46:41).

• “Holiness is not external piety. Holiness is not clothing. Holiness is being set apart. It means to consecrate, to be different.” – Phil (45:56)

• God’s Favor: Holiness attracts God’s favor, not perfection (46:41).
• Legalism vs. Righteousness:

  “Legalism is man’s attempt through behavior modification to create a false holiness disconnected from the Holy Spirit.” – Phil (47:45) “True holiness is yielding to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.” (48:15)

8. Grace for the Struggle

• Struggle ≠ Defeat:

  “Struggle is the proof that you have not been overtaken by your enemy... Temptation is not sin; yielding to temptation is sin.” – Tim (52:07) “Don’t let anyone convince you that your struggle is not holy when you continue to put it in the hands of Jesus.” – Tim (52:07)

• Paul’s Example: Even the Apostle Paul dealt with persistent struggles (Romans 7) but strove for holiness (54:52–56:24).

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Tim (23:03):

  “Jesus never says to Peter, ‘Prove to me that you have changed.’ He asks him to receive his love.”

• Phil on Success (37:02):

  “A couple years ago, I redefined success for me... Success for me is going to be what Paul said to Timothy: If we come down to the end of our life, and we could say we fought the good fight, ran our race, and kept the faith.”

• Holiness as Daily Yielding (48:15):

  “As you keep yielding, you’re holy. We’re not talking about man-made doctrines of legalism that force behavior modification apart from the Holy Spirit.”

• On Accountability (39:55):

  “You should seek altars more than platforms. Success is: Can you finish with a testimony looking like the person who saved you?”

• Breaking the Cycle (63:12):

  “After repentance comes favor… You will be the person to shift your family tree, your trajectory.”

Transcript

[A]

You're listening to the Street Preachers podcast with Tim Timberlake and Philip Anthony Mitchell.

[B]

This episode is powered by Overflow Co and the Museum of the Bible. What's going on, family?

[C]

We are here in Jacksonville with our Jacksonville street team.

[B]

Make some noise.

[C]

Yeah, we got to do it right now because. Because there may be some people watching.

[B]

And listening that don't know what is the world's most famous county in the world. Let them know where we at.

[A]

Yo, what is that? What is that? I don't know what that is.

[C]

Come on, y' all gotta say it louder so he can hear you.

[B]

Yo, bro, you have stepped foot into the world's most famous county. Duval. We up in here tonight. We here in Jacksonville, Florida, and, you know, we. We got the best podcast family in the world, the street team.

[A]

We up in here, and we want.

[C]

To welcome you whether you're watching here.

[B]

In the States or whether you're watching abroad. We're so honored that you would take out the time to lean into what God is doing through the Street Preachers podcast. And we're going to get to the word in a minute. But, Pastor Phil, how do we get here, bro? Like, what is going on? What is happening?

[A]

I think it was about three years ago. Yeah, about three years ago, I felt this burden in my heart to start a podcast and had no room in the house to do that. And my wife and I took $10,000 and we built a podcast studio in our basement. And I put two chairs in the basement, and my wife told me she had no parts of trying to do a podcast with me at all. And I knew that God had called me to have another medium to communicate the gospel outside of Sunday morning. But I would sit in that studio in my basement in one chair, and there'll be an empty chair right there. And there was nobody in that chair. And I would pray God, whoever's supposed to be in that chair, put them in that chair. Six months went by. Nobody was in that chair. 12 months went by, nobody was in that chair. 18 months went by. Nobody was in THAT chair. 24 months went by, Nobody was in that chair. Tim and I met through a divine encounter. He was preaching in Miami, and I was sitting on the front row, and he was a superstar, and I wanted to talk to him and. Stop that.

[B]

You stuff that right now.

[A]

And they put their hand on my chest and told me, you can't talk to Tim Timberlake. And then let me go to the back to see him because. And I found out later he would DM Me, like. Like a year and some change later.

[B]

Yes. So I saw him in the back.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And him and his beautiful wife Lena.

[C]

Was standing back there.

[B]

And God gave me a prophetic word for both of them, and I couldn't.

[C]

Get to them before I had to.

[B]

Go to the stage. And so where I was speaking at, they had multiple locations. And as soon as I walked off the stage at one location, we hopped in a vehicle and we drove to another. So I didn't get a chance to give him the prophetic word, but I end up coming across his page on Instagram and I direct messaged him.

[A]

And. And Tim prophesied to me. And everything Tim prophesied to me has manifested in my. Because where there are real prophets, their words don't fall to the floor. And we have too many people in our country that take on that title, and too many of us worship people who have that title, but we don't check their fruit, we don't check their doctrine, and we don't check the fact that their words be falling to the floor. But Tim's word did not fall to the floor because Tim is a chosen vessel for this hour. And Tim and I would. We would eventually get together. I flew down here to Jacksonville to meet him in person for the very first time. And then we went to the beach, and we took a tent, and it was cold.

[B]

It's freezing.

[A]

It was freezing.

[B]

It was windy.

[A]

And I'm from New York, so I wasn't used to that kind of cold in Florida. I'm like, yo, it's cold, and I love cold weather. And Tim and I went to a beach and we sat down in the tent, and Tim told me that two years prior, he built on a podcast studio, and he put two empty chairs in that studio, and he sat down in one chair, and the other chair was empty. And he prayed to ask God who belonged in that other chair.

[C]

And now we sitting in the same two chairs tonight, with both of them filled with the people that God wanted.

[B]

Us to start this podcast with.

[A]

So Tim told me backstage, these were the very chairs. These are the chairs that you put in the studio. And now we're physically seated in these chairs together.

[B]

And it's the first time two people.

[C]

Are sitting these chairs for a podcast.

[A]

And I remember it was right there on that beach after we told a story that we both had these empty studios. God gave us the vision for this podcast and that our podcast would not be handcuffed to a studio, but that we would record in studios. But God said that we had to take the podcast to the streets, is why we created a different format, is why we travel from city to city and we record these podcasts live with people. Because we believe that God is stirring revival right now in the earth. And we believe that God is calling his remnant back in this hour. Because just like there is a watch on my left wrist, God has put a clock on humanity. And that clock is counting backwards.

[D]

And that clock is going to strike zero. And when that clock strikes zero, everybody's.

[A]

Fate will be sealed. And I want you to hear me tonight.

[D]

That time is running out on us. We do not have all this time you think we have. Right now, as I'm talking to you, right now, as Tim is talking to you, they are preparing to mandate an identity chip in the UK that everybody who's gonna do any kind of bartering system in the UK will have to have that chip.

[A]

And if you don't read your Bible.

[D]

You'Ll figure that out when you get home. That all around the world, God is preparing mankind for the coming of the sun. So Tim and I are out here on the road playing games with nobody. We out here trying to awaken a generation. We're trying to awaken the bride of Christ. Come on, this ain't no show. We out here trying to awaken the bride of Christ.

[A]

Now this is important for what we're about to talk about tonight, because what Tim and I are about to talk about tonight, it's not sexy. Nobody's not preaching it at your. At your main conference.

[D]

It's not causing people to fill up any rooms. And yet we feel in our spirit, it's necessary for us to talk about this topic tonight because there are no.

[A]

Perfect people in this room.

[D]

And every person in this room under the sound of our voice. We all have been infected by the same thing. We have been infected by sin. It has infected your intellect. It has infected your emotions, has infected your thoughts, has infected your mind, your heart. It is the bane of our existence. It damages relationships, it damages marriages, it damages churches, business. It is the thing that frustrates human beings the most. And while the world will continue to wrestle with sin, God did call his people to a place higher than just living lives of sin. Because we who call ourselves followers of Christ, we are supposed to be his witnesses in the earth.

[E]

That is not enough to just have the tag Christian without a life to match. It's not enough to have woman of God in your bio without a life to match. It's not enough to have apostle in your Bio. Without a life to match, it's not enough to dance in rooms like this.

[D]

Praise in rooms like this, and shout in rooms like this, and run around.

[E]

Rooms like this, go out the doors.

[D]

And don't have a life that match.

[E]

This is why the unbelieving world takes.

[D]

The Western church for a joke. Because we preach about a Christ that we don't emulate in our way that we live, And what God has called us to.

[A]

This strong word, two of them, that Tim and I are about to talk to tonight. And when I say it, you're not going to get happy, you're not going to shout. Nobody's going to throw a towel at us and say, oh, preach, Philip, preach. You're not going to do any of that.

[D]

It's going to be a pin drop. Because you're gonna think, man, I paid to come here. Y' all talk about that. Y' all made me spend my money and my travel to talk to me about that. Because we. Because we know what you want. You want Tim and I to prophet lie, and you want us to say, everybody, God's gonna give you the house you want next week, and you're gonna get the husband you want next week, and you're gonna get the wife you want next week. And he's going to. He's going to deliver you from debt, but you have bad stewardship. I know what you want, But I want to tell you before I give you these two words. Tim and I don't script our podcast.

[A]

We pray. We meet each other in the city. We say, what has the Lord spoken to you? This is what the Lord has spoken to me. We bring our Bibles and we let.

[D]

The Holy Spirit talk. So we believe in every city we go in, whatever we are talking about is what God wanted the people in.

[A]

The room to hear. Here are the two words we're about to talk about tonight. Not sexy in Western church, but sexy in the scriptures.

[D]

And if you get these two words in your heart tonight, if you tattoo.

[A]

Them to your heart, it'll change your mind, it'll change your heart, it'll change your life. Listen to me.

[D]

It will revolutionize a marriage.

[A]

It can change a ministry, a church, a business. You can't even leave the room the same. Tim and I want to talk to you tonight about these two words. Repentance.

[D]

And holiness. Holiness.

[E]

Holiness.

[A]

Without which the scripture says, no man who see the Lord. What do we need to tell them about holiness? Tim.

[B]

I want to say, because we get asked this question all the time, how is your church Growing the way that it's growing. How is revival breaking out? And we didn't even talk about this. But as we were praying coming into tonight, the Lord reminded me of the season of church we were in two years ago and what birth, what people see now. In both 2819 and Celebration Church, there were messages on repentance, there were messages on holiness. Two years ago, what changed the trajectory of our church was a message called Keep the Change, where we talked about repentance, where we talked about holiness. And it was a message about repentance that Phil preached. And then he went on sabbatical and he came back to a different church. And it wasn't a message on prosperity. He didn't shout, money is going to come to you now. He said, you need to wring your heart out of the sin that's in it. And the Lord led me to this passage. And it's a passage that's often looked at for leadership but often overlooked for repentance. And It's John, chapter 21, verse number 15. It says now, when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He said to him, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. He said to him, tend to my lambs. He said to him again, second time, simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. And he said to him, shepherd, my sheep. He said to him a third time, simon, son of John, do you love me? And Peter was hurt because he said to him the third time, do you love me? And he said to him, lord, you know all things. You know that I love you. And Jesus said to him, tend to my sheep. And we look at this passage and we overlook that this is Jesus teaching Peter about repentance. The reason he asked him three times, do you love me? Is because Peter denied Jesus three times. And in Hebraic culture, where there is sin, the rabbi takes the person who has fallen back to the place where they fell and publicly restores them in the very same manner that they fall.

[C]

And so Jesus takes him back to.

[B]

The very place that he instructed Peter to follow him. And he asked him three times, peter, do you love me? Peter, do you love me? Peter, do you love me? Which gives us a blueprint as to what repentance is to the heart of Jesus.

[A]

And there's another important detail in that text. When this incident happened between the Lord and the apostle Peter, there were coals of fire.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And where Peter denied Jesus, he denied him around coals of fire.

[D]

It's the only two times we see.

[A]

Right there that coals are mentioned around Peter's life. There are coals when he denied him and coals when he is restored.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Peter denies Christ around coals, and he can smell those coals. And now here are coals again on the seashore, and he could smell those coals. He has a reminder, probably, of his failure. And I want you to see in.

[D]

The text that the Lord doesn't even.

[A]

Remind him of his mistake. He just challenges him.

[D]

Peter, do you love me?

[A]

Can you turn in this moment?

[D]

Can you completely repent in this moment? Because I want to say to you, repentance is not just saying I'm sorry. Repentance is not just an apology because you can repent and still go back. You could. You could say, I'm sorry and still go back to what you used to do. Like. Like tell that to a woman who's been in an abusive relationship, who's. Whose boyfriend keeps his fist in her mouth, and then he comes back to her the next day with a bracelet and says, I'm sorry, but then he puts his fist in her mouth the next week. That's not repentance. That's an apology. When we repent, we go beyond an apology to say we're making a turn in mindset, in behavior and actions to go in a different direction.

[E]

Peter, do you love me? Three times.

[A]

And here is the Lord calling Peter.

[D]

To a permanent pivot in which you will never go back to what he used to be. And I'm telling you tonight, there are people in this room. The Lord is calling you to a permanent pivot. You've done Christianity and worldliness for too long. You've done a little bit of Jesus and a lot of the devil for too long. You're wondering why the Lord won't bless.

[E]

Me and why he won't open this.

[D]

Door and why my ministry won't be anointed. Listen, you want platforms without process. You want anointings without sacrifice. And I don't know who this is.

[E]

For tonight, but you need to hear me tonight.

[D]

What the Lord is calling you to.

[E]

Is a permanent pivot, a transformation of.

[D]

Your mind and of your heart and.

[E]

Of your decisions and your actions.

[D]

To say, lord, when I leave here.

[E]

Tonight, I will not go back.

[D]

To the life that I dragged in here. I would not go back to being a lover of sin, a lover of iniquity, a lover of debauchery. Don't talk to me about mistakes. I'M not talking to you about mistakes. I'm talking to you about iniquity. I'm talking to all of us who call ourselves followers. And we enjoy being the pleasures of sin. And then you wonder why God is not hearing your prayer or moving on your behalf.

[E]

You say, how could you talk to us like this? This is called love.

[D]

For he says in his word, if.

[E]

You regard sin in your heart, he will not listen to your prayers. And tonight, some man, some woman.

[D]

Tonight, the Lord is calling you.

[E]

Tonight, right here in this holy space.

[D]

Tonight will be a night of repentance.

[E]

For you when you make a permanent decision.

[D]

I will not go back.

[E]

It took this podcast recording. It took these two street preachers. It took the power of the Holy Spirit to open my eyes. Tonight, Lord, I will give you all of me.

[A]

And I will not go back. And there is a wife waiting for you at home. She will get a better husband.

[D]

And there is a teenager waiting for you at home. And they will get a better father and mother. And there is a family member waiting for you at home. And they will get a better. There is a church waiting for a.

[E]

Pastor on Sunday, and they will get a better shepherd.

[D]

I'm talking to you, Pastor. I'm talking to you.

[A]

So Jesus calls Peter to.

[B]

He calls him to repent. Let's turn. Let's. Let's break this down. Because one of the things that you have a grace for.

[A]

I feel like they're mad at me, Tim, for talking to them like that.

[B]

No, no, no.

[A]

I feel heat in the room.

[B]

No, you have a grace to punch people in the soul.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Hear me. Bad theology says, prove your repentance. Jesus never says to Peter, prove to me that you have changed. He asked him to receive his love, and in return, do you love me? Because Jesus knew that Peter turned when he modeled the love he had for Jesus. This is what true repentance is. When you hate sin and you love Jesus.

[C]

He never says, prove to me that you are different. He asks him three times, do you love me? And then after Peter says, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. He gives him instructions to steward other people. Because true repentance does not just focus on where you have fallen. True repentance makes sure that other people don't fall in the same hole you used to fall in.

[B]

And sometimes we sit in moments like this and we think to ourselves, I'm not that bad of a person.

[A]

There's a word for that, Tim.

[D]

Can I just put that.

[B]

Break it down.

[A]

There's a word for that. And it's popular in America. It's called moralistic deism. Yeah. This is us thinking we're justified because we're good people. And then people think, I'm a good man. No, you're not. I'm a good woman. No, you're not. The scripture says no one is good.

[D]

And we have no righteousness of our.

[A]

Own apart from the blood and the cross of Christ.

[D]

And there is a.

[A]

There is a.

[D]

A placebo in the culture, Tim, a pill. That instead of true repentance and holiness, we substitute that for moralistic deism. And we think that we're. Because we're good people, that we are righteous in the sight of God. And then we mask that with that guise at the expense of true repentance. That leads to holiness. That leads to life change. And I just want to. I want to parenthetically insert this for somebody, man. On the other side of this moment, Peter went on to be the pastor of the first church.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Open up, Acts.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

He went on to become a mighty preacher of the gospel. He went on to become. Yes, a mighty martyr. But we know his name and what he has done. His whole life was changed because of this moment. You never know what's on the other side of a full, committed Yes. I don't even know who this is for.

[E]

You have no idea what's on the other side of a Yes. I know you insecure. I know you have a lot of shame.

[D]

I know you feel unworthy.

[E]

I'm telling you tonight, you have no.

[D]

Idea what's on the other side of a committed. Yes. You have no idea idea of what's on the other side of full repentance.

[E]

There is a greater man on the.

[D]

Other side of repentance. There was a greater woman on the other side of repentance. Listen, I'm telling somebody, right? There are too many of us in.

[A]

The west, like what Tim and I are talking about right now. We don't take it serious because we don't care about our witness.

[D]

We care about likes. We care about platforms. We care about money. We care about status. But you don't care about your witness. And there are people watching you. There are people following you. They know you call yourself a Christian, but again, don't have the life to match. And what we need tonight, if we can get 2000 people to leave tonight with a life to match their confession.

[A]

Because what Tim and I want to say tonight is like, we want you to repent. Turn from your duplicitous ways from playing church and playing Jesus and playing Christianity.

[D]

Like we don't got time for that.

[A]

And we want them to pivot towards holiness.

[B]

And this is not about your religion because you got good practices, but you still got bad habits. And I know we got a diverse audience of people from all backgrounds and walks and ethnicities and denominations. And what we're talking about tonight is not about a building. What we're talking about tonight is not about the denomination you represent. What we're talking about is a core principle of the kingdom of God. And the reality is that some of you know about Jesus, but you don't know Jesus.

[C]

And so you talk about what you've.

[B]

Heard other people talk about, but you.

[C]

Don'T talk about what you've heard from Jesus yourself.

[B]

Because we're so used to being spoon fed, Because we've settled for being followers and not stepping over into being disciples. To be a disciple means that you have surrendered to the disciplines of what it means to be both a believer and a follower of Jesus Christ.

[C]

And I don't know when's the last.

[B]

Time you've been disciplined?

[D]

I don't know when's the last time.

[C]

You told yourself no? Just think about that for a second. When is the last time you told you no? You had an opportunity at a restaurant to get an appetizer, to get an entree and a dessert. When's the last time you told you no to two of those things? I'm looking at you, so I know you ain't said no, But discipline says I can, but I won't. Jesus takes Peter back to the shoreline.

[B]

Not to embarrass him, but to remind him. This is where I called you. This is where I mandated you, this is where I assigned you, and this is where I instructed you to follow me. Because Jesus is more concerned about your destiny than he is your comfort.

[C]

And some of you are complaining because.

[B]

You'Re still in the same place that you encountered Jesus. Why am I still here? I see other people advancing around me. Why am I still here on the shoreline?

[C]

I see other people going to the city.

[D]

Why am I still on the shoreline?

[C]

I see other people going to other places. And the reason you're still here is because God is trying to work out of you the things that have been stuck in you for too long. So when he takes you into your new season, your old self don't show up. So here's my question before we transition to holiness. Can you keep the old you buried long enough for God to bring to the surface the new you to walk through the season he desires for you.

[B]

To walk through and not build the same house there.

[A]

So now I want everybody to listen to what Peter wrote because Jesus restored.

[D]

Him on that beach.

[A]

And then maybe some three decades later, I want you to listen to what Peter wrote now. Listen to what the restored Peter wrote.

[D]

Listen to what the man who betrayed.

[A]

Jesus three times wrote.

[D]

Listen to the one who abandoned Jesus three times wrote. And before I read to you what Peter wrote, I just want to remind y' all that Judas wasn't the only.

[A]

One who betrayed the Lord.

[D]

Every time we talk about betrayal, we only talk about Judas. He the only one that get a bad rep. No. Two men betrayed the Lord. Peter betrayed the Lord and Judas betrayed the Lord. One man had a bad day, the other one really had a bad heart. One man goes out and commits suicide because he doesn't understand repentance. One man does not repent. He hangs himself because he doesn't understand repentance. The other man goes out. So sorrowful and broken, he goes out and then he meets Jesus in a moment of repentance. Repentance might keep someone alive tonight. And some three or four decades later.

[A]

Let me read to you what Peter wrote in First Peter, chapter one. Oh, they're not going to like this. Text him.

[B]

Hold on, let me turn there.

[D]

First Peter, chapter one, beginning at verse 13.

[A]

Wait on you. They going old school on us, Tim. Old school.

[D]

They h. I wasn't raised in church.

[A]

They used to. What?

[D]

They used to say, like, if.

[B]

If you.

[D]

If you don't have it.

[A]

What.

[D]

What do you say? Wait, how to say You. You was in the street, too.

[C]

What?

[D]

I'm talking to you. You was in the street. They said what? If you have it, say amen.

[B]

Oh, yeah, okay.

[D]

That's what they say. If you have it, say amen. If you don't have it, wait on me.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

All right. If you have First Peter, say Amen, and if you don't have it, say wait on me.

[C]

We can't even. We can't even put it on the screen.

[D]

Yo, hold on. I want to give a quick shout.

[A]

Out to one of my closest friends is in the room, and he pastors a great church in Orlando, Florida. Okay, Shout out.

[D]

Orlando. If.

[A]

If you live in Orlando and you're looking for a Bible teaching church where the scriptures are being taught, there's no nonsense. Like, it's like celebration. It's like 2019. It's hardcore gospel. And you live in Orlando. If you.

[D]

If you're watching right now this podcast.

[A]

And you live in Orlando, Florida. And you're looking for a church. Hardcore gospel. Hardcore gospel. Like celebration, like 2019. Okay. There is a church in Orlando, Florida. The pastor's in the room. He's one of my good friends. I want to just honor him in this moment. My man. Pastor recap. Grace, you'll stand up. Recap. Stand up.

[D]

Stand up. Recap.

[A]

Great.

[D]

Y' all help me honor my brother. Pastor recap. Gray, New Creation Fellowship.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

If you. If you live in Orlando, Florida, you're watching this podcast right now.

[A]

New Creation Fellowship. Pastor recap. Gray, You see, how would you do that on your podcast?

[D]

It's called the Kingdom.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

So I want to read to you.

[A]

What Peter wrote after he was restored in that beach.

[B]

First Peter.

[A]

First Peter, chapter 13, therefore.

[D]

I'm just checking to see if he was paying attention. First Peter, chapter one, verse 13. Just a test. I do that to my church all the time. I asked him, what verse are we in? Where are we?

[A]

First Peter, chapter 1, verse 13, Therefore. Gosh, this is so powerful.

[D]

And Peter is writing this.

[A]

During the reign of Nero, when Christians.

[D]

Are being persecuted and put to death.

[A]

You.

[D]

We. You and I haven't suffered anything yet. We so weak and soft in America. We get a flat tire. We think the devil has defeated us for the week. What we talking about.

[A]

Man?

[D]

When I leave here, we want you to be thugged out in the kingdom. We want you to be gangster in the spirit, man.

[E]

Come on, man. We give the devil too much credit. Like, that beast is on a leash. That's why he had to ask permission to touch job. The last time I read these scriptures, Paul said to the Church of Colossians that the devil was disarmed.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

When Christ was executed on the cross. And we didn't stop blaming the devil for everything. No, some things is our own disobedience. The devil did not make you do that. Your uncontrolled passions, your love affair with the flesh, your hatred for holiness is what's killing you.

[B]

And I just feel this in this moment, your success. Some of you have made success an idol. I feel it. Let me.

[A]

Yo, did I ever tell you how, like, a couple years ago, I redefined what success was for me? Did I ever tell you about this? No. You know, like, in the industry that we are in, like, men see successes, like how big their church is or, like, how big is their Instagram following and all that stuff make people feel insecure. A couple years ago, yo, I've redefined success for me, right? And I said, success for me is going to Be what Paul said to Timothy. I will be successful. Tim, can I give this to you, too?

[B]

Give it to us.

[A]

And you will be successful. And I will be successful. And recap. Dang, I'm about to cry. If we come down to the end of our life. Yeah. And we could say we fought the good fight.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Ran our race.

[D]

Not another man's race. We kept the faith. Now here comes success. And now there is a crown.

[A]

Laid up for me. And success for me is going to be the day. Tim and I. And recap. We take that crown and we lay it at the feet, at the one that called us out of darkness into the light. Because no one is worthy of grace and salvation. That is going to be. I didn't. I never told you that. But that's my new definition of success. I want to finish well, and I want to lay that crown his feet. And. And if there is a young pastor in this room. Let me just insert this. If there is a young pastor in.

[D]

This room, I. I just. I want to lean on you. I know how we get down.

[A]

I know you think if your Instagram is big, you're successful, and if your church is big, you're successful.

[D]

And if. If.

[A]

No, no. There is a. There was a brother in a small.

[D]

Town that got a thousand people.

[A]

He had 25 people in his church. And he's faithful, and he loves his.

[D]

Wife, and he's faithful to the text, and he has fidelity to the Scriptures. And he prays and he fasts, and he seeks Jesus. He's no greater man than me. I'm no greater man than him. He's no less faithful. And not because I'm here and he's there. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no.

[D]

Greatness in the eyes of God is humility. And true success is not platforms. You should seek altars more than platforms. This ain't success. Success is. Can you finish with a testimony looking like the person who saved you?

[A]

And so I never told you that, but that's my new definition of success. I want that for you and me, like. And you got to keep me accountable, and I keep you accountable. And we keep recap. Account. We got to make sure we finish.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then you think we wear J's in heaven?

[B]

I think so.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I think so.

[A]

But we will. We'll take off our J's in the presence of the Lord.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because where he is is holy ground.

[B]

But when we walk the streets paved with gold, we keep the J's on.

[C]

Give you the design is of your.

[B]

Heart.

[D]

And we take off the Js in the presence of the Lord and lay that.

[A]

That's success for me. Yeah, yeah, but. But let me read what Peter said.

[B]

Let's do it. Y' all mind if we just flow tonight?

[C]

We are scripted.

[B]

This is how we are.

[A]

First Peter 1:13. Therefore, preparing your minds for action and being sober minded. Watch. Set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

[D]

That is your highest hope. Should not be on a bag, a platform, a following status. If your hope terminates in this life, your hope is too small. We must have a hope that goes beyond this life. If you have a hope that goes beyond this life, what can the devil do to you? Set your hope on the revelation of Jesus Christ as. Watch this word. It's a curse word in America. Obedient children, do not be conformed.

[A]

I'm in the esv. Here it is to the passions of.

[D]

Your former ignorance, like Peter got knowledge there. Don't keep running back to your former life like Tim was saying. Your former habits, your former fill in the blank. You can't keep making excuses for the sins that you love.

[E]

You can't be in a strip club on Saturday night and dancing in God's house on Sunday morning and wonder why God is not moving in your life.

[B]

They don't want to hear that though, Phil.

[E]

You can't keep loving your former life.

[D]

And loving your proclivities and questioning what God is not moving in your life. Why are you jealous of Tim Timberlake when you don't want to pay the price that he pays? Why are you mad at the revival that's happening at Celebration Church, Pastor, when you don't want to pay the price that Tim pays? I assure you, Tim has more joy.

[A]

In the presence of Jesus than just.

[D]

Trying to perform for people up here. I would rather be in my prayer room than on a platform.

[A]

You.

[D]

You be jealous of people who got anointings, but you don't want to pay a price. Here is the price. Turn from your passions, that's repentance. From your former ignorance, that's repentance. But as he who called you is.

[A]

Here'S the command. You also must be holy. Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch the word in how many things? Only on Sunday morning, only at the conference, only on the podcast.

[D]

Be holy in all your conduct.

[A]

Now look at me.

[D]

Holiness is not external piety. Holiness is not clothing. You got some people think like, oh, them, them ninjas can't Be holy. Look at the way they dress.

[A]

You think if we have long robes.

[D]

That go to the floor and bells floating around, you think that person is holy because of their garbs? When you have men with beautiful robes and their hearts are wicked and dark and evil, they're having sex with little boys and they have nice robes on Sunday morning, Abusing boys and wearing robes, and you think they holy. And God forbid a man of God has a fitted hat or J's on in a platform that can't be holy.

[E]

No, God does not look at the outward appearance. What God is taking inventory of is the heart. The one who says, with this heart, I will hate my sin and repent and run after holiness in all of my conduct.

[D]

I will train my mind to be holy. I will train my mouth to be holy. I will train my actions to be holy. I will train my behavior to be holy. What is holiness? It is not outfits. It is not external piety. Holiness. The word simply means, in its original.

[A]

Language, to be set apart. In this original language, it means to consecrate. It means to be different. This is why we are mockery outside this room. Because we are just like the world. And you say this is a tough teaching. It is. This. This is. This is a tough teaching. But if you start training your mind, like Tim was saying with. What's the word, Tim? Discipline. Discipline. To break your flesh and start pursuing holiness.

[D]

Being set apart in all your conduct, I'm telling you, you will become a greater husband. You will become a greater wife. You will become a greater parent. You will be a greater minister, a greater preacher. You will be a greater employee on your job. You know what follows? Holiness favor. God is attracted to holiness.

[B]

Let me ask you this, Phil, because I know we got some people in here, and I know we got some people listening.

[A]

Before you ask that question, did y' all hear what I just said?

[B]

God is attracted.

[A]

God is attracted to holiness.

[B]

But I know some people in here confuse legalism and perfectionism with righteousness and holiness.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So how do you define the difference between being legalistic.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And being righteous?

[A]

Legalism is man's attempt through behavior modification.

[D]

To create a false holiness disconnected from the power of the Holy Spirit in Christ himself. What true holiness is, is you just yielding to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Yielding to the word of God, yielding to the wisdom of God.

[A]

Watch.

[D]

What?

[A]

Watch.

[D]

Watch. Falling down, repenting, getting back up and continuing to just do your best, to just obey the scriptures, obey the gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit. It's as simple as this. The Holy Spirit tells you forgive that person when you do that, you are holy. The Holy Spirit tells you be generous at celebration church when you do that, you are holy. The Holy Spirit tells you, man, stop talking to your wife like this. As you keep yielding, you're holy. We're not talking about man made doctrines of legalism that tries to force behavior modification apart from the Holy Spirit. If you have indwelt by the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in you helps you to be holy by just obeying.

[E]

The promptings that he's giving you day by day.

[B]

It's a great teacher.

[E]

There is a single mother washing her.

[D]

Dishes, playing worship in the kitchen who just is trying to follow Jesus with all of her heart. And she wakes up in the morning watch with a desire to just love him and follow him. And she is more holy than some man on a platform who has expensive clothing and is banging 15 women on the front row who has 7 million people following them and call themselves prophets. And that single mother who could barely pay her bills but loves the Lord and is surrendered to the Holy Spirit. She reads her Bible when she can and she comes across things in the scripture and says, lord, help me fulfill that. She apologizes when she does wrong. She goes into her secret place, says, lord, forgive me for my sin. She comes out of there and just tries the next day to just be.

[A]

Obedient to the Holy Spirit into the word of God.

[D]

And she is more holy.

[A]

She is, she is more holy in the eyes of God than the false prophet with the big following.

[D]

It's, it's the desire you have in.

[A]

The morning to say, lord, I just want to please you.

[D]

Like when I stand before the Lord, I'm not going to say, lord, I did this perfect. Let me, let me free somebody right now.

[A]

Help us, Holy Spirit.

[D]

Let me untie you from legalism. Well, when I. When we stand before the Lord, we're not going to say, lord, we did this perfect. You know what I'm going to say when I stand before the Lord.

[A]

I tried. Yeah, I gave it my best shot. I fell down, I got back up. I committed sins, I repented of those sins.

[D]

I made mistakes, I hurt people, I forgave people, I apologize. I kept reading these scriptures, I saw things in you said, man, I got to do better in this area, Lord, every day I just got up in the morning saying, I love you and I just want you to be pleased and I want to do my best to be a true son. And if you're living like that without the legalism and bondage of man made doctrines that try to just strap you with behavior modification, man, you are on a journey of holiness.

[B]

And whatever it is that you have been struggling with, don't let anyone tell you that your struggle is sinful when you continue to put that struggle in the hands of Jesus.

[D]

Repeat that, Tim.

[B]

Don't let anyone convince you.

[A]

No, listen, listen, this is important. Repeat that.

[B]

Don't let anyone convince you that your struggle is not holy when you continue to put it in the hands of Jesus. One of the things that freed me, Hear me, a revelation that changed my life was when God told me, struggle is the proof that you have not been overtaken by your enemy.

[C]

Because the fact that you are still struggling is an indicator that you have not quit in your fight.

[B]

And there's some of you in here.

[C]

Right now, you're being tempted and you feel like you have lost the battle, when in fact temptation is not sin. Yielding to temptation is sin. So continue to fight, continue to struggle, continue to run back to the feet of Jesus. Continue to tell Jesus how much you love him, how much you adore him, how much you desire to develop intimacy with him. And watch how he continues to remove sin out of your mouth and the taste of sin out of your life. God says to you that I. I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you. I'll be with you until the very end of all time. But you have to continue to fight. That's why Paul says to fight the good fight of faith.

[B]

Your faith is strengthened by your fight. And your fight is only bad when you fight in your own strength.

[A]

Listen. Listen, Tim, you. Tim is about to minister to us. And I want everybody to listen carefully to what my brother just said. And there's somebody in this room.

[D]

The enemy right now is trying to.

[A]

Convince you that what my brother just said is not true. You beat yourself up over your struggle.

[D]

There's a man in this room battling insecurities.

[A]

A woman.

[D]

There are people in this room right now. I know you. I know you'll be persecuting your own.

[A]

Self because of your struggle.

[D]

And I just want to throw scripture on what Tim just said so that enemy can't rob you of the revelation.

[A]

Tim just gave you.

[D]

You know that man in the Bible y' all like to worship? His name is the Apostle Paul. And I know every time you talk about Paul, you talk about him like he's an angelic being and you forget that he's a human being just like you. But I want you to Listen carefully. In the back half of Romans, chapter seven.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

The man you think is an angel, who's flesh and blood like you, the man that wrote two thirds of the New Testament epistles, he said, the thing I don't want to do.

[A]

That I.

[E]

Keep doing, and what I should be doing, I don't do. And Paul is describing this wrestle he has with sin, although he does not.

[D]

Name it.

[E]

We can feel his grief he has with the flesh. But in his battle, we see a desire in a man that wants to walk uprightly above the Lord. But he falls down, but he keeps getting back up. He falls down, but he keeps getting back up. He's not a lover of sin. He hates his sin. He falls down, but he keeps getting back, back up. The thing I don't want to do, I keep going. And what I should be doing, I don't do. And who will deliver me.

[D]

From this body of death.

[C]

Thanks be.

[A]

To God.

[D]

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

[E]

The Lord is not mad at you in the struggle.

[D]

I'm talking to every human being in this room.

[E]

It's not the struggle, it's the yielding. I still have sins in my life that I'm wringing out. Tim still got sins in his life. He's ringing out. This ain't about a false perfection. This is about, Lord, we waking up tomorrow morning. It's like, I want to give all of me for all of you.

[D]

We want to live for you.

[E]

I want to live for you. I want to run after you with my whole heart. I want to turn and repent and run after you with my whole heart.

[D]

Man, who are we talking to tonight? Talking to you.

[B]

And so this ain't like no other podcast right now. You know you need to repent, and you know you need to live a life that's holy. I don't care if you've been struggling with sin. I don't care if you've surrendered to sin. I don't care if you've surrendered to success and made success an idol right now in this room. Whether you're watching online or whether you're here in person, you want to get it right, right with Jesus, come to the altar right now.

[C]

We not go count the three. We not go tell people to bow their heads, close their eyes, get to the altar right now. If you can't make it all the way down, just line up in the aisle. No more foo foo Christianity. No more fluff, no more phoniness. No more veneer, no more your truth. It is only the truth. And scripture says the truth will set you free. When you press in as far as you can. Lift those hands.

[B]

Phil, I want you to lead this prayer.

[A]

Father, in the name of Jesus, we.

[D]

Pray for every person right now on their feet. If we pray for every hand that is lifted, we pray for everyone who is in the struggle. Father, I pray right now, in the name of the Holy One, you will.

[E]

Pour out a spirit of repentance.

[D]

Right now.

[E]

I pray in the name of the Holy One, you will pour out a hatred for sin. Right now. I pray we would hate sin in us, we will hate sin in the church. We will hate sin in the world. I pray you will give us a burning desire for holiness, for righteousness. I pray God, in the name of Jesus, you will give us the strength.

[D]

To keep turning away from things that are this world.

[E]

Father, I pray in the name of.

[D]

Jesus, you will give us the strength to run after you with all of our heart.

[E]

I pray God, Lord, for your sons and for your daughters, right now, in this moment. Right now, in this moment, God, I pray you will give them a great hunger for you submission to your word. I pray God, they will be tired of compromise, duplicity and a double life.

[D]

I pray God, in the name of Jesus, you will give them the strength to make a decision right now that they would repent.

[E]

They would turn. They would turn in their minds, in.

[D]

Their hearts and in their lives. They will run after you with all of their heart.

[E]

I pray you for a spirit of submission, a spirit of obedience, a spirit of humility. I pray God they will love you with all of their heart. I pray they will love what you love and hate what you hate.

[A]

And father, I pray. That you would chase them down with favor. I hear tears falling at this altar. I pray you would chase them down with favor.

[D]

Something has to shift right now, right now, right now. Something has to break. Something has to shift right now. No more playing church. No more hiding behind piety. Something has to shift right now. You've been in sin long enough.

[E]

You've had a double life long enough is enough.

If you're at the altar, just repent. Just take a moment to tell God you're sorry.

Repent of your double life. Repent of disobedience. Repent of rebellion. Repent. Just repent. Repent of enjoying sin and the pleasures of the flesh. Repent for being a fake Christian. Repent. Something's gonna shift in you tonight.

Father, hear our cries. Catch these tears. We repent. Baptize us with a furious desire for holiness, for purity, for humility, for godliness. Give us a ferocious hatred for sin.

[D]

Let us hate it on social media and hate it in our family and hate it in our hearts. Deliver some brother from pornography. Tell him his wife is enough. Father, there's a stripper in the room. Snatch her from that pole. Deliver people from pride. I feel that in the spirit, pride and arrogance that think that you're. You're righteous in the sight of God because of good behavior.
