Ever wrestled with complacency in your spiritual journey? Felt like you're merely existing instead of truly living your faith? Let's grapple with these questions and go deep into a transformational discussion that promises to awaken your spirit and reignite your passion for God. As we wrap up the year, I, your host Quiana Jackson, have a thrilling announcement regarding my sabbatical in December and a sneak peek into the divine adventures God has in store for me in the new year. You can stay connected with our community through the email campaign and don't forget to join our book club meeting tomorrow!
The complacency bug might have bitten some of us, making us feel spiritually sated without real spiritual awareness. We'll examine the biblical implications of such complacency and brainstorm ways to maintain a vibrant faith. Get ready to challenge yourself to use your God-given talents and gifts for His glory and commit to continuous spiritual growth in your walk with Him. Remember, Christianity is a progressive journey, not a one-time event, so let's shake off the lethargy and light the flame of our faith anew.
Taking inspiration from the children of Israel, we'll learn the value of adaptability, awareness, and commitment to God's purpose. It's time to resist spiritual stagnation and respond to God's calling. We'll wrap up our session with a heartfelt prayer for a spiritual awakening and healing, especially for those battling complacency in various life areas. So come, join us on this faith-filled voyage as we strive to culminate the year in strength, eschewing complacency, and evolving into driven, devoted Christians.

(04:32):
I've been going through somesickness, but God is a healer
and I'm so excited.
You know that devil tried totake my voice, y'all I'm telling

He tried, but he was notsuccessful.

Have the Arthur on the meetingone day, and I'm so excited.
So I want you all to be readyfor that.
(05:41):
That is gonna be so cool.
So, anyway, today is Sunday andGod has given me a message for
his people and I want to justsay a quick prayer before I just
kinda jump into this message,because it's going to be for
somebody okay, it ain't gonna befor everybody, but it's going
(06:05):
to be for somebody okay,somebody that is getting ready
to go into this new year.
So I want to pray really quickand then I'll jump right into
the message.
Okay, dear Heavenly Father, Icome to you First.
I wanna say thank you.
Thank you for all the ways thatyou have made, all the doors
(06:27):
that you have opened, god, thisyear.
God, we don't take nothing forgranted, god, god, we thank you
now that you have brought us toDecember, the third, god, the
last, first Sunday of this year,and so we thank you now, god,
for allowing us to be able tomake it to this last month.
God, god, we thank you now forthese last few days that we have
(06:51):
left in this year.
God, god, it's not how we start, but it's how we finish.
God that makes the difference,god.
So we thank you now for beingable to go into this new year.
God, go into what you havecalled us to do, god, even
though we may have been stagnantin the beginning, but now we
are going to gear up and be ableto move, god, and go where you
(07:14):
need us to go.
So we thank you now, god, forthis message that you have
cooked up for someone.
God, and I thank you now forhiding me behind the cross and
allowing me to speak your wordto your people, god, I thank you
now for this being a vessel tobe able to be used, god, and so
we thank you now.
(07:34):
We love you, we honor you, wecherish you.
It's in Jesus' name that I pray.
Okay, all right, I am so ready,because this message is for
someone, like I said, it mightnot be for everybody, but it is
for someone, okay.
So today God has given me totalk about complacency.
(07:57):
Okay, we cannot be complacencyChristians.
Okay, meaning that we cannot belukewarm, we cannot be stuck,
we can't.
When God has called us to dothings, we have to make sure
that we are doing it and notjust saying that, okay, I can
(08:17):
just stay here and do this orwhatever, and we don't put in
forth that effort that God wantsus to do.
So I just wanna give you thequick definition of complacency,
and it is a feeling of calm,satisfaction with your own
abilities or situation thatprevents you from trying harder.
(08:40):
Okay, and I can say, just giveyou a little bit of quick.
You know thing about me, I havebecame so complacent in the life
that I was in that I was notdoing and trying harder for God,
and so God had to really reallysit me down, okay, to say, all
(09:02):
right, I need you.
And so that is when I had toreally try hard and push hard,
because sometimes we getcomfortable with where we are.
We get comfortable.
We don't have to put in thatwork that God has called us to.
You know, and I'll just go alittle bit deeper.
(09:22):
Okay, I'm not sure if everybodyknows, but yes, I went through
a divorce and I had became tothe point where I wasn't like
just fully into doing takingcare of my children.
I had sat down and I was justlike, okay, I'll let them kinda
do this and do that or whatever.
(09:42):
And I had family and I was socomplacent to the fact that I
just let them make decisions forthem or whatever, whatever.
And I just kinda was likewhatever you know.
And so I had to realize that Iwas complacent as a mother.
So God had to really reallybring me to the point where I
(10:06):
cannot be halfway there.
I had to be all the way there,okay.
So it's, you can't be thatlukewarmness.
And I wanted to kinda read inrevelations.
Read from revelations three and14 and through 22, where Paul
(10:28):
was writing the letter to thechurch of Laodicea.
Okay, so we know that the Biblesays in Romans 3, 14,.
It says and to the angel of thechurch, of the church in
Laodicea, right the words of theamen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of God'screation.
(10:50):
Our verse 15 says I know yourwords.
You are neither cold nor hot.
Would that?
You were either cold or hot.
So because you are lukewarm andneither hot nor cold, I would
spit you out of my mouth, and wedon't want God to spit us out
(11:13):
of our mouth.
But anyways, the Bible says inrevelations three and 17,.
For you say I am rich, I haveprospered and I need nothing.
Not realizing that you arewretched, pitiful, poor, blind
and naked, I counsel you to buyfrom me gold refined by fire so
(11:36):
that you may be rich, and whitegarments so that you may clothe
yourself and the shame of yournakedness may not be seen, and
salved to anoint your eyes sothat you may see those whom I
love.
I recluse and discipline.
So be zealous and repent.
(11:57):
Behold, I stand at the door andknock.
If anyone hears my voice andopens the door, I will come in
to him and eat with him and hewith me.
The one who conquers I willgrant him to sit with me on my
throne, as I also conquered, andsat down with my father on his
(12:19):
throne.
He who has an ear, let him hearwhat the spirit says to the
churches.
Okay, so we know that the churchof Laodicea had gotten
complacent.
They were complacent with whatthey were doing.
They were lukewarm, you know,in their spirit.
(12:43):
We know that lukewarm is aspirit condition that apparently
Jesus cannot stand, you know.
So we know that we cannot becomplacent, okay, which I don't
want you to get that wrongcomplacent, you know, and
content.
Don't mix complacent andcontent, because some people say
, well, you get content.
(13:03):
No, no, you.
Content is where you arefinding joy in the blessings of
walking with God.
Complacent is when you don'tstop walking with God.
Okay, and a lot of people andit's so hard to recognize
because a lot of people, theyare complacent, but they are
still in the church, they arestill working, they are still
(13:25):
doing what they do.
They are still, but they nottrying harder when God done,
called them to something else.
God always calls us tosomething else and sometimes we
have to stay here.
But when God has instilled inus that he called us and has
chose us to be a leader, wecannot be complacent and say,
(13:46):
okay, yeah, I'm just going tocheer right here, I'm just going
to do what, I'm just going todo this.
You know what I'm saying.
So I'm going to give you likefour signs of complacency, and
this is coming from an articlethat I found.
I want to make sure I say whatI said about an article that I
(14:07):
found, onward and upward.
Okay, so they, the four signsthat they give us is that we
view ourselves higher than whatGod determines to be true.
So we consider of you and saythat we are thinking we're doing
okay spiritually, when in factwe're not.
We think that we are okay withI'm okay with just sitting in
(14:30):
the choir, I'm okay with justgoing to church and all getting
cute going to church.
You okay with that, I'm okaywith that.
Don't, god, you know, see methere.
No, you know, we have to knowthat the scripture encourages to
compare ourselves with thewholeness of Jesus, with the
(14:50):
holiness of Jesus.
I'm sorry.
So we have to make sure that weare doing everything that Jesus
will do.
Like we can't view ourselvesand say that, oh, okay, we okay
right here.
You know what I'm saying.
No, we're not.
And then the next one is we livein an attitude of
(15:11):
self-sufficiency, like, okay, Ican handle life and what it
brings and what we say every day.
We have to trust in what God isdoing.
But we have gotten to thatpoint where it's like we just,
you know we have that, oh,whatever it is, whatever it is,
(15:33):
you know, or we're not reallytruly depending on God, we're
not trusting in the Lord, likeit says in Proverbs 3 and 5
through 6.
We have to lean, not to our ownunderstanding.
So we can't have that attitudeof just self-sufficiency, like,
oh, okay, whatever, you knowwhat I'm saying, it don't matter
(15:56):
what happens, you know.
And so the next one is that weare comfortable in the culture
in which we live.
That is so true Because youknow how some people just get to
the point well, okay, well, I'mjust going to do what they do,
you know.
Like say, for instance, youknow I ain't stepping on our
toes, but we think that, sincewe are Christians, that we can
(16:21):
engage in certain things that wecannot.
Like smoke and weed, okay, yeah, it might be legal, but it is
not holy of what God want forhis children.
Okay, that's just like withdrinking alcohol, it's not, it
is legal.
I mean, it's legal, but it'snot okay.
So we get to that point where wesay, okay, well, we can live
(16:45):
the culture's way, and we knowthat we are not supposed to live
the culture's way, we aresupposed to live the kingdom's
way.
Okay, it says, when we alignourselves too closely with
political philosophies, groups,systems, lifestyles, we stop
thinking and evaluatingcritically and spiritually.
(17:07):
You know, we don't want tosettle for what the world is
doing.
So we are living, we'resupposed to be, of the world.
We are, we are in the world,not of the world.
So we have to make sure that wedon't miss out on what kingdom
promises for us, because we areliving what the world is saying.
(17:28):
So when we are going to church,if we are saying that all we're
singing and choir, we are beingon the usher board or we are
doing the help advance thekingdom but we're not advancing
ourselves, we are sitting here,living a different living in a
different way, saying that it'sokay for me to smoke sweet or
(17:52):
it's okay for me to, you know,do this and do that when we know
that it's just because it'sgood for the world, is not good
for us.
So we have to make sure that weare not being complacent in
that area, that we are juststuck.
You know we are saying, okay,oh, we do what they do, the
Romans do it, so I guess we'lldo it.
(18:13):
No, we have to be set aside andseparated from what the culture
is living, okay.
And then the last one that saysthat we are spiritually
satisfied without real spiritualawareness.
Oh, that is so good.
It says that Jesus saved us,but we don't understand or
(18:35):
desire life with him.
Our faith is about who gets togo to heaven when they die,
whether or not Jesus is there,you know.
So we have to know that wecannot just be like satisfied,
spiritually satisfied, withoutknowing that God is here, that
(18:56):
God is there.
A lot of people want to say weworship the universe or whatever
.
Don't give God the credit andwe cannot, you know, be like
that.
You know.
It says.
You know our prayers can beshallow, we want tangible
blessings, but not spiritualvictories over the forces of
darkness.
So we cannot engage in thatbecause it's danger really being
(19:22):
complacent.
You know we are.
It says.
You know we no longer haveinsimnity with Christ, we are no
longer part of his purpose, weare no longer prepared for the
future.
And guess what?
It is coming.
We don't have to worry aboutthat.
We know that the future iscoming, we know that God is
(19:43):
coming.
So we, when you get complacent,you don't get to the point of
using your faith that God hasgiven you.
You don't move towards arenewed faith.
You don't move towards anything.
You're just stuck in justallowing the enemy to keep
manifesting on you.
Let me tell you that's howcancer build up when you they
(20:05):
don't, you know, build yoursales, don't build the right way
.
It builds on top of each other.
So if you are sitting therecomplacent, then everything is
just building on top of you.
You're not even worried aboutit.
Okay, so we cannot becomplacent.
We have to break through that.
So what I wanted to do today isto give you a few ways on how
(20:30):
you can break that complacency.
You know, in the Bible.
The Bible says about complacencyin Zephaniah one and 12.
At that time, I would searchJerusalem with lamps and I will
punish the men who arecomplacent, those who say in
(20:50):
their hearts the Lord will notdo good, nor he will do ill.
So we know that it's somepeople that are sitting around
and not really thinking aboutthe fact that God's going to
punish them.
If I'm okay, like I'm not doingevil, not doing, you know, not
being around him.
I don't know why I made thisout.
(21:11):
I'm not doing evil.
I'm not doing evil at all, not,you know.
But you're not moving forward.
The Bible says in 2 Kings 19 to28, because you have raged
against me and your complacencyhas come into my ears, I will
put my hook in your nose and mymy bit in your mouth and I will
(21:35):
turn your back on the way bywhich you came.
We don't want that to happen tous because we, we are children
of God and, like I said, thisword is for someone, it ain't
for everybody.
It's for someone, and you knowwho I'm talking to.
But you know that God istelling you that you have to do
(21:57):
more than just sit in there andallowing the enemy, allowing
your talents or your gift thatGod has given you, to just just
be stagnant, to be there, to bethere, to be complacent and to
say, okay, well, I'm, I'm here,I'm at church.
That's not what it is.
So I want to give you threeways that you can just kind of
(22:22):
nip that in the bud, okay.
And one of the ways is that wehave to always remain changeable
.
We have to be changeable, okay.
And in the Bible says inPhilippians 4, 12 to 13, I know
how to be brought low and I knowhow to be abound in any, in any
(22:45):
and every circumstance.
I have learned the secret offacing plenty and hunger,
abundance and need.
I can do all things to him whostrengthens me.
Okay, so we have to know thatwe have to be changeable.
Okay, we have to allow God tocome in and to change us.
Sometimes we get so complacenton certain things that we think
(23:09):
that, like like say, forinstance, and I and I'm not
picking at nobody, because, hey,we got a house, and but you
know, we get in this house andwe say, okay, we got this
mortgage for 30 years and weain't gonna change.
But if God come and tell youthat it's time for you to move,
and God tells you it's time foryou to go and open up a church
(23:30):
somewhere else, now what are yougonna do?
And a lot of people get sostuck and they say, oh, I don't
want to be changed, I don't wantto change, I want to learn that
they knew, you know.
So we have to know that we haveto go beyond our old self.
The Bible says in Colossians 3,9 through 10, do not lie to one
(23:52):
another, seeing that you haveput off the old self with its
practice and have put on the newself, which is being renewed in
knowledge after the image ofits creator.
So you have to put off that oldself and say that, okay, I'm
gonna move, I'm gonna do whatGod tells me to do.
Being changeable don't mean thatyou just being, you know, like
(24:17):
people say, being just flex, not, I can say flexable, but being
like unstable.
That's what I mean, you know.
We have to know that beingchangeable meaning that God can
come in and he can change thatsituation.
Okay, you think that, okay, Igot to stay like this.
But no, we have to make surethat we are changing, because we
(24:41):
want to go from glory to glory,we want to go from faith to
faith Okay, so we don't want tosit there and not be able to be
changed.
The Bible says the secondCorinthians, five and seven
Therefore, if anyone is inChrist, he is a new creature.
The old has passed away.
Behold, the new has come.
(25:02):
So we have to make sure that weare being changeable.
We are allowing the enemy tocome in and make us flexible.
Okay, you know.
I know a lot of people are likechangeable.
Yes, yeah, changeable, butmeaning that you can be flexible
and being flexible.
Everybody knows that beingflexible is a good trait is a
(25:28):
good thing, because you can bein when you need to be in.
So being flexible don't meanyou be broken.
Okay, if that makes any sense.
You know being flexible, youare being able to know that you
can be, you can move, you can gowith the guidance.
You can allow God to allow youto move.
(25:50):
You know, the Bible says inProverbs one and five that the
wise hear and increase inlearning, and the one who
understands obtain guidance.
Okay, so we're getting thatguidance.
God is going to give us thatguidance.
When he changes, he's not goingto just change you.
Okay, now you figure it out.
No, he's not going to do that.
(26:10):
When he changes us, when hechanges from one thing to the
next, he's going to always bethere with us.
Okay.
So, and so you know after that,after being changeable, you want
to be cautious?
Okay, you want to remainknowing and staying in that know
(26:35):
that you know and are beingfocused, that you are not just
being stagnant.
You want to you know wheneverGod calls you to do something,
whenever God calls you to a newthing, we have to know that we
got to look at God and what Godis doing in our life.
We can't allow the enemy to letus say that you know, we, we
(27:02):
don't know what we're doing, orwe not paying attention, not
looking at what what is going on.
You know, the Bible says in 1Peter 3 and 16, having a good
conscience, so that when you areslander, those who revile your
good behavior in Christ may beput to shame.
Okay, so we have to make surethat we are, when we try to get
(27:28):
out of that complacency, that weare staying conscious on what
God wants us to do, and so thoseother people can be put to
shame.
They'll say, oh, they ain'tgonna never do nothing, they're
gonna always be there.
They're gonna always stay there.
Oh, no, I don't know why youchange my words today.
They're gonna always stay there, they will always be there.
But no, we have to know that.
(27:49):
We always have to make surethat we are being conscious of
what's going on.
We have to have that clearconscience so we can be able to
move.
When God say move, we know whathe's saying, what he's saying.
Sometimes we get dreams and God,god, we have to stay conscious
and pray about those dreams sowe'll know where we can, what to
(28:12):
do.
We have to be focused.
We have to know when God saysmove, when he say move, he say
move.
You know.
And when he say stop, he saystop too.
So just because you know I'mnot saying complacency that okay
, you move and you stay rightthere and you move.
No, sometimes God tells you tostop, you know.
We have to just be focused andbe conscious of what God is
(28:35):
doing in our life.
You know, and that you know wehave to.
We have to always remain a goodconscious.
The Bible says in 1 Timothy 1and 19, hold in faith and a good
conscious.
By rejecting this, some havemade shipwreck of their faith.
Oh my God, if you don't keepyour focus and you don't, I mean
(29:03):
you can make a habit of yourfaith, okay.
So we have to be consciousabout what God is doing.
Be conscious.
We have to be changeable, wehave to be conscious.
And the last one is we have tobe committed.
Okay, that's it.
When you commit yourself to whatGod is doing, when you commit
(29:27):
yourself to the mission, it's,you know, it's nothing that
would stay complacent about you,because we commit ourselves to
God and we present ourselves asa living sacrifice.
Like I said, it's in Romans 12,1 through 2.
(29:47):
I'll appeal to you, therefore,brothering by the mercies of God
, to present yourself, presentyour body as a living sacrifice,
holy and acceptable to God,which is your spiritual worship.
Do not be conformed to thisworld, but be transferred by the
renewal of your mind that, bytesting, you may discern that
(30:12):
what is the will of God, what isgood and acceptable and perfect
?
Okay, so we have to know thatonce we commit ourselves, we
commit our whole body, we commiteverything that God is doing
for us.
We have to know that for God befor.
I mean, if God be for us, thatnothing shall be against us.
(30:34):
The Bible says in Romans 8, 38through 39, for I am sure that
neither death, nor life, norangels, nor rulers, nor things
presented, nor things to come,nor powers, nor height, nor
death, nor anything else in allcreation will be able to
separate us from the love of Godand Christ Jesus, our Lord.
(30:56):
Okay, so we know.
We have to know that beingcommitted is what we have to do
when it comes to being trying toget out of that complacency.
We have to be committed,because if you ain't committed,
it's gonna be hard for you tomove forward.
So you have to be committed soyou won't be tempted when that
(31:20):
enemy comes.
The Bible says in James 1 and14, but each person is tempted
when he is lured and enticed byhis own desires.
So we know that the enemy isgoing to come and the enemy is
going to try to get us away frombeing committed to what God has
(31:41):
called us to do.
He is going to try to tell usthat, ooh, if you move, guess
what?
You're gonna lose this oryou're gonna do that, you're
gonna do that.
But sometimes we have to goagainst the grain.
Okay, we cannot allow the enemyto keep us in that same way,
thinking that everything isgoing to be okay.
(32:02):
We have to move when God tellsus to move.
We have to be able to not say,okay, well, I'm under this
church and I don't wanna move,because I don't feel like if I
move, it's gonna be hard.
It's gonna be and you're gonnatalk yourself out of your
blessing.
You're gonna talk yourself outof first off.
God is gonna get the glory fromanything.
(32:24):
Okay, yeah, we can stay on thelevel that we want and God is
gonna allow that.
But you will not be able to besuccessful in what God wants you
to do.
When God calls you, his purposeis higher.
So we have to go and we have totry harder.
When God tells us to try harder, we have to keep pushing.
(32:46):
Okay it's.
I know it's hard.
I know it's hard.
I ain't saying it's easy.
I ain't saying it's okay, walkeither.
I know it's hard.
But when we allow God to takeover and allow God to have that
control and we say I'm committed, I'm determined to do that.
(33:06):
I am cute?
Okay, I am cute.
So we have to know that we are.
When we determine we don't haveto worry about you know what is
to come.
We don't have to worry aboutthat because we know that God is
going to be there.
He is going to be with us.
Because if we learn that we canbe changeable, that we can be
(33:28):
flexible, that we can be in whenGod tell us to be in, we can
stand when God tell us to stand,then that right there in itself
.
Then we stay cautious, stayconscious, stay conscious about
what's going on when God tell usto move, just like when the
children of Israel, god gavethem a cloud by day and fire by
(33:51):
night.
So we have to watch God closelyand be conscious about what
he's doing.
We have to make sure that we'renot complacent and we don't see
what God is doing.
We don't wanna ever getcomplacent when we don't see
what he's doing, when we don'tfeel what he's doing, we're not
focused enough to know that Godis doing what he's doing.
(34:12):
Okay.
And so then we wanna becommitted.
We wanna be committed to themission.
We wanna be faithful to whatGod is doing in our life.
We wanna be faithful to Hispurposes.
Calling because, guess what,somebody is waiting on your yes
so they can be able to say theiryes.
Okay, because we know thateverything is all about somebody
(34:36):
else.
Okay, god came to serve us.
God came to serve the world.
He came to die for our sins.
I mean, jesus came to die forour sins.
So we have to be like Jesus.
We know that everything hasbeen expected in.
We know that God is going tobring us to that expected end.
Okay.
So we know that somebody isgoing to be blessed by the
(35:00):
things that we are doing, not bywhat everybody else is doing.
God called you, god called me,god called somebody.
But guess what?
You are complacent in where Godhas told you to move to, and
that is just a bigger sin thananything.
God do not like.
(35:20):
He do not like lukewarm people.
So we don't want to be lukewarm.
We wanna do what God tells usto do when God tells us to do it
.
Okay, and that's it.
That's all I wanted to say.
I didn't wanna be on here alone, which I know is probably gonna
end up being alone, but Ididn't wanna be alone.
But, anyways, I wanna make surethat you get the message that
(35:47):
being complacent.
So we wanna get rid of thatcomplacency this month.
This is the last month beforewe dive into 2024.
Okay, I'm diving, I'm ready for2024 because I'm ready to see
what God has next.
So we, I want you, I wantwhoever this message is for is
(36:10):
to say, okay, you know what I amgoing to do, what God has
called me to do, and not becomplacent.
I will not be complacent, okay.
And the thing about it some ofus are complacent in different
areas of our lives.
We are complacent in some otherarea.
It might not be at the church,it might be at your house, it
(36:35):
might, you know, with yourspouse, you know, might be in
your marriage and yourrelationship, at your job or
whatever.
Somebody is complacent.
And in some different area, andso we all have to look and
examine ourselves.
Where are we complacent at?
Because we don't wanna takethat with us.
We wanna dive into the new yearwhere we are allowing God to
(36:59):
lead and guide us to where heneeds us to go.
He wants our faith to be ableto know that we can go where God
tells us to go.
We don't have to wait on it, wedon't have to sit there and be
complacent.
We can go and move.
God wants us to keep moving.
Okay, and so, being complacent,you're not moving, you're not
(37:21):
doing what God asked you to do.
Okay, that's it.
It a nutshell.
Okay, so I am going to praythat whatever, whatever,
wherever we are lukewarm at thatwe, you know, can get rid of
that.
(37:41):
We can learn by beingchangeable, by being conscious
and by being committed to thecalling that God has placed on
our life.
Okay, so I'm gonna pray reallyquick and then I'm gonna let you
go, okay, all right, dearheavenly father, I come to you.
(38:02):
First I wanna say thank you, god.

I've been going through somesickness, but God is a healer
and I'm so excited.
You know that devil tried totake my voice, y'all I'm telling

He tried, but he was notsuccessful.
And I'm so excited about howGod allowed me to be able to
just bounce back when that comes, and I know how to pray and
(04:56):
I've not been in a medical field, for I know exactly what to do.
So I'm excited about what Godhas instilled in me, what God

So I want you all to be readyfor that.
(05:41):
That is gonna be so cool.
So, anyway, today is Sunday andGod has given me a message for
his people and I want to justsay a quick prayer before I just
kinda jump into this message,because it's going to be for
somebody okay, it ain't gonna befor everybody, but it's going
(06:05):
to be for somebody okay,somebody that is getting ready
to go into this new year.
So I want to pray really quickand then I'll jump right into
the message.
Okay, dear Heavenly Father, Icome to you First.
I wanna say thank you.
Thank you for all the ways thatyou have made, all the doors
(06:27):
that you have opened, god, thisyear.
God, we don't take nothing forgranted, god, god, we thank you
now that you have brought us toDecember, the third, god, the
last, first Sunday of this year,and so we thank you now, god,
for allowing us to be able tomake it to this last month.
God, god, we thank you now forthese last few days that we have
(06:51):
left in this year.
God, god, it's not how we start, but it's how we finish.
God that makes the difference,god.
So we thank you now for beingable to go into this new year.
God, go into what you havecalled us to do, god, even
though we may have been stagnantin the beginning, but now we
are going to gear up and be ableto move, god, and go where you
(07:14):
need us to go.
So we thank you now, god, forthis message that you have
cooked up for someone.
God, and I thank you now forhiding me behind the cross and
allowing me to speak your wordto your people, god, I thank you
now for this being a vessel tobe able to be used, god, and so
we thank you now.
(07:34):
We love you, we honor you, wecherish you.
It's in Jesus' name that I pray.
Okay, all right, I am so ready,because this message is for
someone, like I said, it mightnot be for everybody, but it is
for someone, okay.
So today God has given me totalk about complacency.
(07:57):
Okay, we cannot be complacencyChristians.
Okay, meaning that we cannot belukewarm, we cannot be stuck,
we can't.
When God has called us to dothings, we have to make sure
that we are doing it and notjust saying that, okay, I can
(08:17):
just stay here and do this orwhatever, and we don't put in
forth that effort that God wantsus to do.
So I just wanna give you thequick definition of complacency,
and it is a feeling of calm,satisfaction with your own
abilities or situation thatprevents you from trying harder.
(08:40):
Okay, and I can say, just giveyou a little bit of quick.
You know thing about me, I havebecame so complacent in the life
that I was in that I was notdoing and trying harder for God,
and so God had to really reallysit me down, okay, to say, all
(09:02):
right, I need you.
And so that is when I had toreally try hard and push hard,
because sometimes we getcomfortable with where we are.
We get comfortable.
We don't have to put in thatwork that God has called us to.
You know, and I'll just go alittle bit deeper.
(09:22):
Okay, I'm not sure if everybodyknows, but yes, I went through
a divorce and I had became tothe point where I wasn't like
just fully into doing takingcare of my children.
I had sat down and I was justlike, okay, I'll let them kinda
do this and do that or whatever.
(09:42):
And I had family and I was socomplacent to the fact that I
just let them make decisions forthem or whatever, whatever.
And I just kinda was likewhatever you know.
And so I had to realize that Iwas complacent as a mother.
So God had to really reallybring me to the point where I
(10:06):
cannot be halfway there.
I had to be all the way there,okay.
So it's, you can't be thatlukewarmness.
And I wanted to kinda read inrevelations.
Read from revelations three and14 and through 22, where Paul
(10:28):
was writing the letter to thechurch of Laodicea.
Okay, so we know that the Biblesays in Romans 3, 14,.
It says and to the angel of thechurch, of the church in
Laodicea, right the words of theamen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of God'screation.
(10:50):
Our verse 15 says I know yourwords.
You are neither cold nor hot.
Would that?
You were either cold or hot.
So because you are lukewarm andneither hot nor cold, I would
spit you out of my mouth, and wedon't want God to spit us out
(11:13):
of our mouth.
But anyways, the Bible says inrevelations three and 17,.
For you say I am rich, I haveprospered and I need nothing.
Not realizing that you arewretched, pitiful, poor, blind
and naked, I counsel you to buyfrom me gold refined by fire so
(11:36):
that you may be rich, and whitegarments so that you may clothe
yourself and the shame of yournakedness may not be seen, and
salved to anoint your eyes sothat you may see those whom I
love.
I recluse and discipline.
So be zealous and repent.
(11:57):
Behold, I stand at the door andknock.
If anyone hears my voice andopens the door, I will come in
to him and eat with him and hewith me.
The one who conquers I willgrant him to sit with me on my
throne, as I also conquered, andsat down with my father on his
(12:19):
throne.
He who has an ear, let him hearwhat the spirit says to the
churches.
Okay, so we know that the churchof Laodicea had gotten
complacent.
They were complacent with whatthey were doing.
They were lukewarm, you know,in their spirit.
(12:43):
We know that lukewarm is aspirit condition that apparently
Jesus cannot stand, you know.
So we know that we cannot becomplacent, okay, which I don't
want you to get that wrongcomplacent, you know, and
content.
Don't mix complacent andcontent, because some people say
, well, you get content.
(13:03):
No, no, you.
Content is where you arefinding joy in the blessings of
walking with God.
Complacent is when you don'tstop walking with God.
Okay, and a lot of people andit's so hard to recognize
because a lot of people, theyare complacent, but they are
still in the church, they arestill working, they are still
(13:25):
doing what they do.
They are still, but they nottrying harder when God done,
called them to something else.
God always calls us tosomething else and sometimes we
have to stay here.
But when God has instilled inus that he called us and has
chose us to be a leader, wecannot be complacent and say,
(13:46):
okay, yeah, I'm just going tocheer right here, I'm just going
to do what, I'm just going todo this.
You know what I'm saying.
So I'm going to give you likefour signs of complacency, and
this is coming from an articlethat I found.
I want to make sure I say whatI said about an article that I
(14:07):
found, onward and upward.
Okay, so they, the four signsthat they give us is that we
view ourselves higher than whatGod determines to be true.
So we consider of you and saythat we are thinking we're doing
okay spiritually, when in factwe're not.
We think that we are okay withI'm okay with just sitting in
(14:30):
the choir, I'm okay with justgoing to church and all getting
cute going to church.
You okay with that, I'm okaywith that.
Don't, god, you know, see methere.
No, you know, we have to knowthat the scripture encourages to
compare ourselves with thewholeness of Jesus, with the
(14:50):
holiness of Jesus.
I'm sorry.
So we have to make sure that weare doing everything that Jesus
will do.
Like we can't view ourselvesand say that, oh, okay, we okay
right here.
You know what I'm saying.
No, we're not.
And then the next one is we livein an attitude of
(15:11):
self-sufficiency, like, okay, Ican handle life and what it
brings and what we say every day.
We have to trust in what God isdoing.
But we have gotten to thatpoint where it's like we just,
you know we have that, oh,whatever it is, whatever it is,
(15:33):
you know, or we're not reallytruly depending on God, we're
not trusting in the Lord, likeit says in Proverbs 3 and 5
through 6.
We have to lean, not to our ownunderstanding.
So we can't have that attitudeof just self-sufficiency, like,
oh, okay, whatever, you knowwhat I'm saying, it don't matter
(15:56):
what happens, you know.
And so the next one is that weare comfortable in the culture
in which we live.
That is so true Because youknow how some people just get to
the point well, okay, well, I'mjust going to do what they do,
you know.
Like say, for instance, youknow I ain't stepping on our
toes, but we think that, sincewe are Christians, that we can
(16:21):
engage in certain things that wecannot.
Like smoke and weed, okay, yeah, it might be legal, but it is
not holy of what God want forhis children.
Okay, that's just like withdrinking alcohol, it's not, it
is legal.
I mean, it's legal, but it'snot okay.
So we get to that point where wesay, okay, well, we can live
(16:45):
the culture's way, and we knowthat we are not supposed to live
the culture's way, we aresupposed to live the kingdom's
way.
Okay, it says, when we alignourselves too closely with
political philosophies, groups,systems, lifestyles, we stop
thinking and evaluatingcritically and spiritually.
(17:07):
You know, we don't want tosettle for what the world is
doing.
So we are living, we'resupposed to be, of the world.
We are, we are in the world,not of the world.
So we have to make sure that wedon't miss out on what kingdom
promises for us, because we areliving what the world is saying.
(17:28):
So when we are going to church,if we are saying that all we're
singing and choir, we are beingon the usher board or we are
doing the help advance thekingdom but we're not advancing
ourselves, we are sitting here,living a different living in a
different way, saying that it'sokay for me to smoke sweet or
(17:52):
it's okay for me to, you know,do this and do that when we know
that it's just because it'sgood for the world, is not good
for us.
So we have to make sure that weare not being complacent in
that area, that we are juststuck.
You know we are saying, okay,oh, we do what they do, the
Romans do it, so I guess we'lldo it.
(18:13):
No, we have to be set aside andseparated from what the culture
is living, okay.
And then the last one that saysthat we are spiritually
satisfied without real spiritualawareness.
Oh, that is so good.
It says that Jesus saved us,but we don't understand or
(18:35):
desire life with him.
Our faith is about who gets togo to heaven when they die,
whether or not Jesus is there,you know.
So we have to know that wecannot just be like satisfied,
spiritually satisfied, withoutknowing that God is here, that
(18:56):
God is there.
A lot of people want to say weworship the universe or whatever
.
Don't give God the credit andwe cannot, you know, be like
that.
You know.
It says.
You know our prayers can beshallow, we want tangible
blessings, but not spiritualvictories over the forces of
darkness.
So we cannot engage in thatbecause it's danger really being
(19:22):
complacent.
You know we are.
It says.
You know we no longer haveinsimnity with Christ, we are no
longer part of his purpose, weare no longer prepared for the
future.
And guess what?
It is coming.
We don't have to worry aboutthat.
We know that the future iscoming, we know that God is
(19:43):
coming.
So we, when you get complacent,you don't get to the point of
using your faith that God hasgiven you.
You don't move towards arenewed faith.
You don't move towards anything.
You're just stuck in justallowing the enemy to keep
manifesting on you.
Let me tell you that's howcancer build up when you they
(20:05):
don't, you know, build yoursales, don't build the right way
.
It builds on top of each other.
So if you are sitting therecomplacent, then everything is
just building on top of you.
You're not even worried aboutit.
Okay, so we cannot becomplacent.
We have to break through that.
So what I wanted to do today isto give you a few ways on how
(20:30):
you can break that complacency.
You know, in the Bible.
The Bible says about complacencyin Zephaniah one and 12.
At that time, I would searchJerusalem with lamps and I will
punish the men who arecomplacent, those who say in
(20:50):
their hearts the Lord will notdo good, nor he will do ill.
So we know that it's somepeople that are sitting around
and not really thinking aboutthe fact that God's going to
punish them.
If I'm okay, like I'm not doingevil, not doing, you know, not
being around him.
I don't know why I made thisout.
(21:11):
I'm not doing evil.
I'm not doing evil at all, not,you know.
But you're not moving forward.
The Bible says in 2 Kings 19 to28, because you have raged
against me and your complacencyhas come into my ears, I will
put my hook in your nose and mymy bit in your mouth and I will
(21:35):
turn your back on the way bywhich you came.
We don't want that to happen tous because we, we are children
of God and, like I said, thisword is for someone, it ain't
for everybody.
It's for someone, and you knowwho I'm talking to.
But you know that God istelling you that you have to do
(21:57):
more than just sit in there andallowing the enemy, allowing
your talents or your gift thatGod has given you, to just just
be stagnant, to be there, to bethere, to be complacent and to
say, okay, well, I'm, I'm here,I'm at church.
That's not what it is.
So I want to give you threeways that you can just kind of
(22:22):
nip that in the bud, okay.
And one of the ways is that wehave to always remain changeable
.
We have to be changeable, okay.
And in the Bible says inPhilippians 4, 12 to 13, I know
how to be brought low and I knowhow to be abound in any, in any
(22:45):
and every circumstance.
I have learned the secret offacing plenty and hunger,
abundance and need.
I can do all things to him whostrengthens me.
Okay, so we have to know thatwe have to be changeable.
Okay, we have to allow God tocome in and to change us.
Sometimes we get so complacenton certain things that we think
(23:09):
that, like like say, forinstance, and I and I'm not
picking at nobody, because, hey,we got a house, and but you
know, we get in this house andwe say, okay, we got this
mortgage for 30 years and weain't gonna change.
But if God come and tell youthat it's time for you to move,
and God tells you it's time foryou to go and open up a church
(23:30):
somewhere else, now what are yougonna do?
And a lot of people get sostuck and they say, oh, I don't
want to be changed, I don't wantto change, I want to learn that
they knew, you know.
So we have to know that we haveto go beyond our old self.
The Bible says in Colossians 3,9 through 10, do not lie to one
(23:52):
another, seeing that you haveput off the old self with its
practice and have put on the newself, which is being renewed in
knowledge after the image ofits creator.
So you have to put off that oldself and say that, okay, I'm
gonna move, I'm gonna do whatGod tells me to do.
Being changeable don't mean thatyou just being, you know, like
(24:17):
people say, being just flex, not, I can say flexable, but being
like unstable.
That's what I mean, you know.
We have to know that beingchangeable meaning that God can
come in and he can change thatsituation.
Okay, you think that, okay, Igot to stay like this.
But no, we have to make surethat we are changing, because we
(24:41):
want to go from glory to glory,we want to go from faith to
faith Okay, so we don't want tosit there and not be able to be
changed.
The Bible says the secondCorinthians, five and seven
Therefore, if anyone is inChrist, he is a new creature.
The old has passed away.
Behold, the new has come.
(25:02):
So we have to make sure that weare being changeable.
We are allowing the enemy tocome in and make us flexible.
Okay, you know.
I know a lot of people are likechangeable.
Yes, yeah, changeable, butmeaning that you can be flexible
and being flexible.
Everybody knows that beingflexible is a good trait is a
(25:28):
good thing, because you can bein when you need to be in.
So being flexible don't meanyou be broken.
Okay, if that makes any sense.
You know being flexible, youare being able to know that you
can be, you can move, you can gowith the guidance.
You can allow God to allow youto move.
(25:50):
You know, the Bible says inProverbs one and five that the
wise hear and increase inlearning, and the one who
understands obtain guidance.
Okay, so we're getting thatguidance.
God is going to give us thatguidance.
When he changes, he's not goingto just change you.
Okay, now you figure it out.
No, he's not going to do that.
(26:10):
When he changes us, when hechanges from one thing to the
next, he's going to always bethere with us.
Okay.
So, and so you know after that,after being changeable, you want
to be cautious?
Okay, you want to remainknowing and staying in that know
(26:35):
that you know and are beingfocused, that you are not just
being stagnant.
You want to you know wheneverGod calls you to do something,
whenever God calls you to a newthing, we have to know that we
got to look at God and what Godis doing in our life.
We can't allow the enemy to letus say that you know, we, we
(27:02):
don't know what we're doing, orwe not paying attention, not
looking at what what is going on.
You know, the Bible says in 1Peter 3 and 16, having a good
conscience, so that when you areslander, those who revile your
good behavior in Christ may beput to shame.
Okay, so we have to make surethat we are, when we try to get
(27:28):
out of that complacency, that weare staying conscious on what
God wants us to do, and so thoseother people can be put to
shame.
They'll say, oh, they ain'tgonna never do nothing, they're
gonna always be there.
They're gonna always stay there.
Oh, no, I don't know why youchange my words today.
They're gonna always stay there, they will always be there.
But no, we have to know that.
(27:49):
We always have to make surethat we are being conscious of
what's going on.
We have to have that clearconscience so we can be able to
move.
When God say move, we know whathe's saying, what he's saying.
Sometimes we get dreams and God,god, we have to stay conscious
and pray about those dreams sowe'll know where we can, what to
(28:12):
do.
We have to be focused.
We have to know when God saysmove, when he say move, he say
move.
You know.
And when he say stop, he saystop too.
So just because you know I'mnot saying complacency that okay
, you move and you stay rightthere and you move.
No, sometimes God tells you tostop, you know.
We have to just be focused andbe conscious of what God is
(28:35):
doing in our life.
You know, and that you know wehave to.
We have to always remain a goodconscious.
The Bible says in 1 Timothy 1and 19, hold in faith and a good
conscious.
By rejecting this, some havemade shipwreck of their faith.
Oh my God, if you don't keepyour focus and you don't, I mean
(29:03):
you can make a habit of yourfaith, okay.
So we have to be consciousabout what God is doing.
Be conscious.
We have to be changeable, wehave to be conscious.
And the last one is we have tobe committed.
Okay, that's it.
When you commit yourself to whatGod is doing, when you commit
(29:27):
yourself to the mission, it's,you know, it's nothing that
would stay complacent about you,because we commit ourselves to
God and we present ourselves asa living sacrifice.
Like I said, it's in Romans 12,1 through 2.
(29:47):
I'll appeal to you, therefore,brothering by the mercies of God
, to present yourself, presentyour body as a living sacrifice,
holy and acceptable to God,which is your spiritual worship.
Do not be conformed to thisworld, but be transferred by the
renewal of your mind that, bytesting, you may discern that
(30:12):
what is the will of God, what isgood and acceptable and perfect
?
Okay, so we have to know thatonce we commit ourselves, we
commit our whole body, we commiteverything that God is doing
for us.
We have to know that for God befor.
I mean, if God be for us, thatnothing shall be against us.
(30:34):
The Bible says in Romans 8, 38through 39, for I am sure that
neither death, nor life, norangels, nor rulers, nor things
presented, nor things to come,nor powers, nor height, nor
death, nor anything else in allcreation will be able to
separate us from the love of Godand Christ Jesus, our Lord.
(30:56):
Okay, so we know.
We have to know that beingcommitted is what we have to do
when it comes to being trying toget out of that complacency.
We have to be committed,because if you ain't committed,
it's gonna be hard for you tomove forward.
So you have to be committed soyou won't be tempted when that
(31:20):
enemy comes.
The Bible says in James 1 and14, but each person is tempted
when he is lured and enticed byhis own desires.
So we know that the enemy isgoing to come and the enemy is
going to try to get us away frombeing committed to what God has
(31:41):
called us to do.
He is going to try to tell usthat, ooh, if you move, guess
what?
You're gonna lose this oryou're gonna do that, you're
gonna do that.
But sometimes we have to goagainst the grain.
Okay, we cannot allow the enemyto keep us in that same way,
thinking that everything isgoing to be okay.
(32:02):
We have to move when God tellsus to move.
We have to be able to not say,okay, well, I'm under this
church and I don't wanna move,because I don't feel like if I
move, it's gonna be hard.
It's gonna be and you're gonnatalk yourself out of your
blessing.
You're gonna talk yourself outof first off.
God is gonna get the glory fromanything.
(32:24):
Okay, yeah, we can stay on thelevel that we want and God is
gonna allow that.
But you will not be able to besuccessful in what God wants you
to do.
When God calls you, his purposeis higher.
So we have to go and we have totry harder.
When God tells us to try harder, we have to keep pushing.
(32:46):
Okay it's.
I know it's hard.
I know it's hard.
I ain't saying it's easy.
I ain't saying it's okay, walkeither.
I know it's hard.
But when we allow God to takeover and allow God to have that
control and we say I'm committed, I'm determined to do that.
(33:06):
I am cute?
Okay, I am cute.
So we have to know that we are.
When we determine we don't haveto worry about you know what is
to come.
We don't have to worry aboutthat because we know that God is
going to be there.
He is going to be with us.
Because if we learn that we canbe changeable, that we can be
(33:28):
flexible, that we can be in whenGod tell us to be in, we can
stand when God tell us to stand,then that right there in itself
.
Then we stay cautious, stayconscious, stay conscious about
what's going on when God tell usto move, just like when the
children of Israel, god gavethem a cloud by day and fire by
(33:51):
night.
So we have to watch God closelyand be conscious about what
he's doing.
We have to make sure that we'renot complacent and we don't see
what God is doing.
We don't wanna ever getcomplacent when we don't see
what he's doing, when we don'tfeel what he's doing, we're not
focused enough to know that Godis doing what he's doing.
(34:12):
Okay.
And so then we wanna becommitted.
We wanna be committed to themission.
We wanna be faithful to whatGod is doing in our life.
We wanna be faithful to Hispurposes.
Calling because, guess what,somebody is waiting on your yes
so they can be able to say theiryes.
Okay, because we know thateverything is all about somebody
(34:36):
else.
Okay, god came to serve us.
God came to serve the world.
He came to die for our sins.
I mean, jesus came to die forour sins.
So we have to be like Jesus.
We know that everything hasbeen expected in.
We know that God is going tobring us to that expected end.
Okay.
So we know that somebody isgoing to be blessed by the
(35:00):
things that we are doing, not bywhat everybody else is doing.
God called you, god called me,god called somebody.
But guess what?
You are complacent in where Godhas told you to move to, and
that is just a bigger sin thananything.
God do not like.
(35:20):
He do not like lukewarm people.
So we don't want to be lukewarm.
We wanna do what God tells usto do when God tells us to do it
.
Okay, and that's it.
That's all I wanted to say.
I didn't wanna be on here alone, which I know is probably gonna
end up being alone, but Ididn't wanna be alone.
But, anyways, I wanna make surethat you get the message that
(35:47):
being complacent.
So we wanna get rid of thatcomplacency this month.
This is the last month beforewe dive into 2024.
Okay, I'm diving, I'm ready for2024 because I'm ready to see
what God has next.
So we, I want you, I wantwhoever this message is for is
(36:10):
to say, okay, you know what I amgoing to do, what God has
called me to do, and not becomplacent.
I will not be complacent, okay.
And the thing about it some ofus are complacent in different
areas of our lives.
We are complacent in some otherarea.
It might not be at the church,it might be at your house, it
(36:35):
might, you know, with yourspouse, you know, might be in
your marriage and yourrelationship, at your job or
whatever.
Somebody is complacent.
And in some different area, andso we all have to look and
examine ourselves.
Where are we complacent at?
Because we don't wanna takethat with us.
We wanna dive into the new yearwhere we are allowing God to
(36:59):
lead and guide us to where heneeds us to go.
He wants our faith to be ableto know that we can go where God
tells us to go.
We don't have to wait on it, wedon't have to sit there and be
complacent.
We can go and move.
God wants us to keep moving.
Okay, and so, being complacent,you're not moving, you're not
(37:21):
doing what God asked you to do.
Okay, that's it.
It a nutshell.
Okay, so I am going to praythat whatever, whatever,
wherever we are lukewarm at thatwe, you know, can get rid of
that.
(37:41):
We can learn by beingchangeable, by being conscious
and by being committed to thecalling that God has placed on
our life.
Okay, so I'm gonna pray reallyquick and then I'm gonna let you
go, okay, all right, dearheavenly father, I come to you.
(38:02):
First I wanna say thank you, god.
Thank you for the ways thatyou're making Hallelujah, the
