Welcome to the Cross Power Church podcast.
-
You're listening to a service from our church in Campbell, TX.
-
We pray this message strengthens your faith and points you to the
-
cross. Now let's join the service.
-
Appreciate these songs once again, kids can be this Mr.
-
classes. Just get one of the my wife or
-
when the ladies back there they'll show you in the right
-
direction could be in Romans chapter 8, verse 8.
-
You ever read something in the Bible in it just such in your
-
spirit and it wants out. It wants out.
-
I was talking to Brother Bob there for service.
-
It kind of goes along what I was preaching.
-
There was a guy we used to rodeo with and you could talk him into
-
anything. He would do things to impress
-
Bob and Bruce all the time, just to right or wrong, he would do
-
it and that led me to same thoughts that I'm preaching
-
today. We have to pull out what God has
-
placed inside of us. We read it what Jesus Christ
-
death and burial and resurrection did and what it
-
placed within the hearts and the lives of his believers.
-
I believe we're falling short at pulling out that which God has
-
placed within us. There's so much and I'm going to
-
preach some things today. It might, you know, it might
-
freak some of you out if you've never been around it, but it'll
-
grow you it'll it'll spur you on in the Lord because in first
-
Peter and and and and Peter, it says in first Peter 224 that
-
it's by his stripes that we are healed.
-
Nothing else. And that also know the stripes
-
that Jesus took can heal us. But sometimes I believe that
-
healing is within us and it needs pulling out.
-
Amen. I believe that the Holy Spirit
-
is with each within each and every believer and it needs
-
pulling out. But let's stand in the reading
-
of the word today. And if you can grasp these
-
verses right here in Romans chapter 8, let's go to verse
Romans 8 chapter mention
-
where we had our verse 8 on the screen it says that so then
-
those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
-
We have to get that. I can't please God in the flesh,
-
but you're not in the flesh. If you've accepted Jesus Christ
-
as your personal Savior. You transform from the flesh.
-
Yes, you're walking around in an earthly body and it seems flesh.
-
You feel the heat, you feel the cold, you feel the bruises, you
-
feel the bumps, you feel the sickness.
-
We are in this flesh, but we're not of this flesh.
-
You're not in the flesh, but you're in the Spirit, if indeed
-
the Spirit of God dwells within you, if you placed him in there
-
by praying the sinner's prayer, the Spirit of God is there.
-
Now, if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
-
Can't just know about him. He can't just be somebody else's
-
God that you've heard about. He's got to be placed down
-
inside of you. And I love this right here.
-
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but
-
the Spirit is life. I see a lot of people it seems
-
right the opposite. It seems that the flesh is very
-
well alive, but the Spirit is dead, he says.
-
But the Spirit, it is life because of the righteousness I
-
preach at a few Wednesday nights ago.
-
Why is living for God and doing righteous things important?
-
Because it's building a hedge of protection from evil around you,
-
Amen. If you build your That's why
-
righteousness and living right is important, because it builds
-
a hedge that the enemy can't penetrate through.
-
Amen. Because God looks down and he
-
sees the righteous. Thank God He sees me when I'm
-
not righteous, but he also corrects me.
-
But get this right here. I want to preach to you about
-
this today because it'll make you scratch your head.
-
Verse 11 says, but if the spirit of him talking about God who
-
raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, you ever thought
-
about it that way? The same spirit that raised
-
Jesus from the dead lives in me. I got to pull it out sometimes
-
and use it. If it's alive in me, I got to
-
release it, right? That's when people get all
-
scared. I don't.
-
But if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead
-
dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also
-
give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells
-
within you. Father, we thank you for
-
dwelling in US today. We thank you that your spirit is
-
truth and it's life giving. Father, I thank you today that
-
that we love you that we have, that we that you give us
-
strength each and every day. But I pray that day, Father,
-
that you would teach us through Your word.
-
There's some things that you have placed deep down within us
-
in the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, dwells
-
within us that you would pull it out of us today.
-
You would help us to activate it, help us to use it in Jesus
-
name, Amen. Man, does that do something to
-
you The same Spirit that rave. You know, there was some cool
-
stuff that happened when Jesus was raised from the dead.
-
There was some people that had already died.
-
The Bible says there was there was Saints that had already died
-
in the and they were up walking around town.
-
They were walking around witnessing because the power was
-
so great that it raised people from the dead and it's going to
-
happen again very soon. I believe that the earth was
-
shook. The veil of the temple was
-
rented to doing away with the with the law entering and sin to
-
the new covenant. So there's some things we have
-
to learn here in second Timothy chapter 1 and verse 5, the
2 Timothy 1 chapter mention
-
Apostle Paul, he said when I call to remembrance the genuine
-
faith he was preaching to a young Timothy here giving him
-
instructions to lead the early church.
-
He said, I remember something about you, Timothy.
-
There's a genuine faith in you because it also drilled in your
-
grandmother Lois and Eunice. I've seen it before.
-
It's in you, Timothy. Is that not what he was saying
-
there? It was first in your grandmother
-
Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that it's also in
-
you. Therefore, I remind you to stir
-
up the gift. Isn't that cool to stir?
-
Christians aren't very good at stirring up the gift that God
-
has placed within us. Once a new king, the King James
-
says to fan the flame. You ever took an old fire that
-
was trying to burn and the wind blew through?
-
What fans the flame? The wind of the Holy Spirit
-
blowing through your life will fan the flame that God has
-
placed within you. We read of this many times in
-
Second Timothy chapter 4 and six.
2 Timothy 4 chapter mention
-
We read the apostle Paul said I'm already being poured out as
-
a drink offering. The Apostle Paul had something
-
to pour out because he had been with Christ, because he had
-
spent time. He said I'm already being poured
-
out as a drink offering. I've read that many times.
-
But this week it meant something different.
-
He said I'm pouring the drink offering on the sacrifice and
-
the service of your faith. What was the sacrifice?
-
The supreme sacrifice was Jesus Christ, so sometimes we got to
-
pour out our praise to Jesus Christ.
-
Sometimes we got to pour out and remind the devil of who we are
-
and what he's done for us. Have you ever just poured your
-
drink offering on the sacrifice which is Jesus Christ?
-
See what he was saying here was the lesser must be poured out on
-
the greater for the supernatural to take place in our life.
-
When we begin to pour out the drink offering the thing that
-
he's filled our cup as we sing the song and we begin to pour it
-
out, which is Christ that she has placed within us.
-
Some great things happen. We leave.
-
We read in Philippians 2 and seven there he says I'm being
-
poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and the
-
services of your faith. So it's clear in these few
-
scriptures that I've read that they that it in Romans 8 and 11
-
and these other writings that Paul wrote.
-
There's something on the inside of us, right?
-
If anyone, 2nd Corinthians 5 and 17, if anyone be in Christ, see,
-
because we are in Christ, we are new creation.
-
Behold, all old things have passed away and all.
-
I love what that says. All things have become new.
-
Therefore there's something on the inside of us.
-
Y'all agree with that? It's placed there.
-
You feel it, you know it when you hear a song and you can't
-
contain it, pour it out, let it out, pull out that which God has
-
placed within you. You'll see some supernatural
-
things in second Corinthians, the apostle Paul chapter 4 and
-
verse 7, he, he said we have a treasure in an earthen vessel.
-
Isn't that powerful? I may be walking around.
-
I may be getting older, I may be getting greyer there.
-
There was a there was a man come on TV yesterday and she said,
-
Paul, that looks like you. I said, there ain't nothing
-
about that man looks like me. See, we got this image of our
-
self of what we used to look like, right?
-
But you got to remember, even when you walk by the mirror, you
-
got to remember your eyes are bad.
-
If you ain't got your glasses on, you really ain't seeing the
-
real you. But kids, they got 2020 vision.
-
When they look at us, they see all the wrinkles.
-
They see all the Gray hair. They see all the things that she
-
said Paul, that looks like you. I said, how does he look like
-
me? I'm not that old, she said.
-
His beard's white, his hair's white.
-
He looks like you. I said, OK, but see, I've still
-
got a treasure. Though this outward earthly
-
vessel may be wasting away, there's a treasure that's inside
-
that can be renewed daily. It says that the excellence of
-
power may be of God and not of us.
-
We are hard pressed on every side and yet not crushed.
-
We're perplexed, but not in despair.
-
We're persecuted, but we're not forsaken.
-
We're struck down, but we're not destroyed.
-
Why? Because I'm always, no matter
-
what state I'm in, I'm always carrying around the body of the
-
Lord Jesus Christ that the life of Jesus also may be manifested
-
in our body. So how do I manifest this thing
-
that, that he's talking about, this hidden treasure that's in
-
this vessel that he's talking about?
-
See manifest. The definition is to display or
-
to show by one's appearance. Hello.
-
Sometimes we don't display the hidden treasure that's inside of
-
us. We let the flesh take over,
-
right? But you see what we're carrying
-
around about in this earth, earthen vessel, It wants out.
-
How do we let it out? Pull out.
-
What has God has placed on the inside of you?
-
Because the world didn't give it to you, and the world can't take
-
you away. Jeremiah often referred to as
-
the weeping prophet. He had a message that people
-
didn't want to hear. It wouldn't build a big church
-
today. It wouldn't 'cause people to
-
come and hear him because it. And I think we ought to be
-
preaching just like Jeremiah did, because there's a day
-
coming that it's all going to be dissolved.
-
Amen. There's a day coming that if
-
your loved ones don't get it right with Jesus Christ, they're
-
not going to heaven. There's a world that's lost and
-
dying that needs him. And Jeremiah was warning of the
-
destruction of Judah. He said all Hell's going to
-
break loose, you better get ready.
-
And everywhere he went, he had to preach this message because
-
it was inside of him. In Jeremiah 20 and 9, he said, I
-
tried not to go tell him what was happening.
-
I tried to hold it in. But he said his word was in my
-
heart like a burning fire. It was shut up in my bones and I
-
was weary and holding him back. And I could not hold it back.
-
Don't hold back what's inside of you.
-
Pull out your salvation and share it.
-
Can somebody give him a praise? Pull out the peace that you have
-
in your life that surpasses your understanding.
-
Pull out your faith. Pull out your hope.
-
Pull out your love that's inside of you.
-
Don't be afraid to use it. Everywhere Jesus went, He pulled
-
things out of people and replaced it with something
-
greater. He pulled the demons out.
-
He pulled the sickness out. He pulled the disease out.
-
Amen. He healed leprosy.
-
I think of the story of the lepers that he healed.
-
There was 10 of them. And yeah, we had a little
-
leprosy prayer Wednesday night, didn't we?
-
We stayed here and prayed through it and and I said we got
-
to get some leprosy worship in our life.
-
Amen. He healed them 10, and they all
-
went out, but one of them along the way, he was stepping.
-
He said, wait a minute. He looked down and no disease
-
that was eating at his body, his eyes was restored.
-
He wasn't hurting anymore. He said, my God, I got to go
-
back and I got to give this man some glory.
-
I got to pull some things out of me and give to Him because of
-
what He's done for me. Pull out some leprosy worship.
-
Pull it out. It's real.
-
I was once a Sinner, but now I'm saved.
-
I was once sick, but now I'm healed.
-
But see, when Jesus pulled that junk out of someone, He replaced
-
it with faith, with hope, with love.
-
He longs to pull some things out of us that he's placed in US.
-
It wasn't placed there to keep my God.
-
If we're carrying around the the death, the burial, the
-
resurrection, and not only that, but we're carrying around the
-
same spirit. But if the Spirit of him who
-
raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised
-
Christ from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies
-
through his Spirit who dwells in US.
-
It dwells in me, in you. I must let God pull those things
-
out. If therefore we are a new
-
creation in Christ Jesus be things within us that want out,
-
that have to get out, that have to.
-
And as Paul was talking to Timothy here, he said it's in
-
you. It wants out.
-
You have to you have to dig it out.
-
You know, I think of the I think of the churches of yesterday.
-
They were much different than the churches today.
-
You know, they used to have these things called tent
-
meanings, but it wasn't just about the tent.
-
I've been to tent meetings. I've preached it some recently,
-
but it seems much different. And it burdens my soul because
-
when we come to church at these tent meetings and these
-
gatherings that we have, and we have these tent meetings and,
-
and people, they, they, they try to think about the tent and, and
-
bring back the power that was in the tent somewhat.
-
But the only thing they're worried about is what they're
-
feeding that night at the tent, what the flesh is going to eat.
-
See the old tent meetings, I can't help but think there was
-
people that had been feeding the Spirit all day before they got
-
there. Hey, man, there was people that
-
went to the tent meeting that knew their God had some power.
-
And they said tonight when they asked for the prayer line, I'm
-
going to get in the prayer line with people that believe and I'm
-
going to pray and I'm going to see my need met.
-
I'm going to see God move in a miraculous way.
-
The preachers that often preach these tent remedy, there was
-
something in them that had to come out.
-
They fasted days before they ever preached.
-
They sought the Spirit of God and they seen supernatural
-
things of it. I've listened to RW Schambach
-
most all my life and I love what Tony's sister told me the other
-
day. She said I got saved at a
-
Schambach meeting in Tyler, TX and she said I was messed up on
-
everything. You could be messed up on drugs
-
and and life and everything. And he said when I went down for
-
prayer, he said he walked by me and he slapped me.
-
She said I got offended and didn't go back for a night or
-
two. When I went back I knew he said,
-
but when that happened, God begin to deal with me.
-
And she said I went back as a preacher.
-
Why did you slap me? He said I didn't slap you.
-
I was slapping the devil that was in you and he laid hands on
-
her. He said receive that.
-
And she said I got drunk in the Holy Spirit.
-
She said I backed into three cars when I left the meeting and
-
she said I've never been the same.
-
It was instantly. It was at that time that God
-
healed me, save me, and delivered me.
-
So the tent meetings was much different.
-
They were much different. RW Schambach tells the story.
-
How are they different now? We have to pry people from the
-
Pew to let God supernaturally touch them.
-
See, if you want to be well, you got to be willing to get rid of
-
that which makes you sick. Many aren't willing to get rid
-
of that which makes them sick. Sin makes us sick, right?
-
Many of the things we take for Wellness makes us sick.
-
If we really looked at it, we got to be willing to get rid of
-
that which makes us sick. But RW Schambach, he had a, he
-
had a double portion of what a preacher named Brother Allen had
-
he and he said, I want to be the man that goes on that heals the
-
sick. I want to raise the dead.
-
I want to be your man. God placed to call in on his
-
life. And he said he went to Bible
-
college and he said, he said he was on AGI bill because he'd
-
been in the military. And RW Schambach was asking his
-
professor. He said they begin to teach
-
these things. And he said, I was told I would
-
learn the Bible here. And he said God has called me to
-
heal the sick. God has called me to raise the
-
dead. God has called me to open
-
blinded eyes and to cast out demons.
-
And he said, I've not heard any of that here.
-
And he said he finally admitted the professor.
-
He said that's because I don't know how to do it.
-
I can't teach you that which I don't know.
-
He said, well, I'm wasting time here.
-
So we got out and he went and he followed this preacher named
-
Brother Allen. And when Brother Allen died, he
-
began to preach faith. And Brother Allen would come on
-
that night and preach healings. If the same Spirit dwells in us
-
that raised Jesus from the dead, First off you got to know that
-
God's able, God's able. It doesn't matter what it is.
-
But he said he would preach faith that day.
-
People would come back that night.
-
They would receive hairy healings.
-
And when Brother Allen died, he said he told the Lord.
-
He said I want a double portion. I want him to pray over me.
-
I want to be that man. So years later they he was on an
-
interview if you hear a while back before he went to be with
-
the Lord and they said what was some of your greatest miracles?
-
If I come to you and I come to many Christians today, the the
-
greatest miracle that we told around many is the only miracle
-
is when God took our sin sick heart and he began to wash away
-
the sins. That's the greatest miracle.
-
That's the greatest healing God could ever perform in the life
-
of his children. But it does not stop there.
-
Schambach said he was in a prayer line.
-
They were coming through to pray for him and he said this young
-
man come up there. He said he was a pretty tall man
-
and he said he had a deformity from birth and he said his one
-
arm was normal, but he said this arm right here, he said his hand
-
was connected to his shoulder, a perfect hand right here at his
-
shoulder. This is what give me this
-
message this week. And when I heard the story, he
-
said, he said, I looked at the young man said what would you
-
have me pray for man? This got all over me when I when
-
I heard it he said I want God to pull my arm out.
-
He said you want God to pull your arm out and he said well I
-
believe he can. He laid hands on him.
-
He said instantly the arm grew 1 foot.
-
Boy y'all are getting quiet. That boy knew something was in
-
he he didn't say I want a bit new while he said I want him to
-
pull that out in that faith. He said it's in me.
-
God created this body and he's the God of nothing missing and
-
nothing broken. He's not the God of
-
deformalities, Amen. He's the God that heals them,
-
right? And he said I want God to pull
-
my arm out and he said that built my face and I prayed for
-
him. He said instantly he went and
-
set out. We prayed for others.
-
What does God want to pull out of you see that boy #1 believed
-
that it was inside of him, right?
-
You got to believe that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from
-
the dead. And when you get broke and when
-
you get hungry and when you get dry spiritually, you ain't got
-
to go running and reading best sellers.
-
You just got to find you a place and say, my God, you placed it
-
within me. I want it out.
-
I want the Spirit to move in my life and you be got to get it.
-
Begin to confess it over your life.
-
He said I preached and prayed and he said at the end of
-
service here, come, that boy said his arm was now down here.
-
He said he walked up there and he said, son, what do you need
-
now? He said I need another shot.
-
He said I begin to pray for him and he said when he walked off,
-
he said the arm was the exact same length.
-
What a miracle serving what God we serve.
-
But see, many of us refused to release those things.
-
They're in US, but we refuse to release them.
-
We walk around downtrodden. Instead of saying those things,
-
many refuse to release it. Why?
-
We're a new creation in Christ Jesus.
-
Somebody should say, I'm giving praise.
-
There's something new on the inside of you.
-
You're carrying about the body of Jesus and the crucifixion and
-
the resurrection of a Savior. Thank you, God, that I'm free.
-
How many is glad they're set free today?
-
I thank you. I'm delivered from those former
-
things. It's Thanksgiving.
-
Thank you, God, that I have peace that surpasses
-
understanding and joy unspeakable and full of glory.
-
Thank you, Jesus, it's by your stripes that I'm healed.
-
Just pour it out this morning. Just pour out your praise.
-
Just let him pull out that which is on the inside of you.
-
See, thanks has to be given. That's why we call it
-
Thanksgiving. If you don't give it, it's not
-
thanks at all. Give the Lord some praise in the
-
house. Have you given thanks to God,
-
the God of the universe, for what He's done for you?
-
Have you given thanks that He's healed you this morning and
-
forgiven you? What a mighty God we serve.
-
What's? What's on the inside of you that
-
needs pulling out? You feel it at times wanting to
-
come out, don't you? But yet we let pride still our
-
blessing. We let what people think about
-
us still our blessing. I got news for you.
-
They ain't nobody going to be thinking about you in hell.
-
Time as we know it will stop the existence in the presence.
-
You know, the worst thing we, we think about the weeping, we
-
think about the gnashing of the teeth.
-
We think about the flames. But you know what's going to be
-
the worst thing about being in hell is there's not going to be
-
any presence of God. Hey, man, Yeah, we've had every
-
chance. We've had the gospel.
-
There's not going to be any presence of God.
-
That's going to be the worst thing.
-
There's never going to be hope. See, when we slip and fall
-
today, thank God we've always got that hope that I may have
-
failed yesterday, but I'm getting up today and I'm going
-
on with God because it's shut up inside my bones and it comes
-
out. Paul said I'm being poured out
-
as a drink offering in March 16. Maybe a short arm seems a little
-
strange to you. Maybe that happened.
-
You know, I that's why I guess I preach against denominations
-
because there's some denominations that preach the
-
word of God, but they've never seen any healings.
-
They go as far as to say it was for the disciples.
-
Be sick if you want to, but I happen to read Mark 16 when I
-
was very young. I don't see any stipulation on
-
this. He was talking to the disciples,
-
but he told him to go in all the world in verse 15 and preach the
-
gospel to every living creature ever living creature.
-
You know, I started praying over things I was at, I was at Bay
-
City, TX one year and I was picking up rodeos and we had a
-
bunch of them and I had, I only had four horses at the time.
-
I needed eight. And I was using them and abusing
-
them. And my best horse, he rolled out
-
the arena that night. He couldn't pick his leg.
-
It looked like a banana on the back of his leg.
-
If you ever had horses, you know what a bow tendon it was bowed.
-
I turned down a bunch of money for him, then used him hard.
-
And I just, I was kind of down and Ronnie come by there where I
-
said, I said, let's pray over this horse.
-
And the guy walked by. He said, you might as well go
-
on. He said, God, he said, that's a
-
bow tendon. He'll be, he'll never be any
-
good anymore. I mean, it was bad.
-
We laid hands on him, anoint him with oil right there in that
-
stall and begin to pray over him.
-
And the next morning I went out there.
-
There was no bow tendon. The next night I rode him.
-
It was never a set back. But see, he says that we're to
-
go into the gospel. Go go and preach the gospel to
-
every creature. Preach to your dog.
-
Hey man, preach to your spouse. When they seem like a creature,
-
preach to them. Preach to them anyway.
-
Every creature, sometimes he need preaching too.
-
Sometimes you need preaching too.
-
But he said this after he said he who believes and is baptized
-
can be saved. But he who does not believe will
-
be condemned. And verse 17 changes every
-
believers world, changes everything that you've ever
-
thought about church doctrine. And it says in these signs will
-
follow those who believe. I didn't say it.
-
Jesus said do you believe if they don't follow you?
-
Ask Jesus. He said these signs will follow
-
those who believe in my name. There's a lot of churches that
-
are using his name, but it's not in his name.
-
In my name they will cast out demons.
-
But wait a minute that gets a little earic.
-
Jesus just walked by. He said come out, you ain't no
-
big deal. You ain't no big deal from where
-
I came from, you just a thing. And I command you to leave in
-
the name of Jesus. It says they will speak with new
-
tongues. Christians been scared ever
-
since they will take up serpents and they will drink anything
-
deadly and it will by no means hurt them, and they will lay
-
hands on the sick and they shall recover.
-
Who will this? Who believes?
-
Who believes, Who believes? Amen.
-
These sides will follow those who believe.
-
I want them following me. But you see, the problem is the
-
flesh will come to a point that you can only pull so much from
-
it. Those that are sitting on the
-
pews and they're worshiping God only in the flesh.
-
You can only pull so much from it.
-
You can't see a miracle from the flesh because the flesh is going
-
to get old. The flesh is going to get
-
wrinkled. The flesh is going to
-
deteriorate upon this earth. The flesh is going to ultimately
-
die because the flesh is not an eternal being, but there's
-
something on the inside of you that's going to live forever.
-
It's going to live forever. Can I say that again?
-
It's going to live forever. But the flesh will come to a
-
point that you can only pull so much from it.
-
It wears out. It becomes weary, serving God in
-
the flesh. Anybody ever tried it?
-
It will wear out. It will become eerie.
-
You will hear the same songs over and over, and the preacher
-
will probably preach the same message because he ain't got
-
through to your flesh yet. And until you get that one,
-
you're probably not going to get another one.
-
Talked to a man one time. He said, I've been to five
-
different churches that preach the same message.
-
I said, maybe God's trying to tell you something.
-
I said, you better figure out what God's trying to tell you.
-
The flesh wears out, it aches, it pains.
-
And we program it to do so. Boy, it's getting quiet.
-
We program it. You know, I'll find the older we
-
get, make conversation to talk about the weather pretty soon,
-
if the weather ain't nothing to talk about, we enter into the
-
aches and pains of yesterday. What's hurting, right?
-
I told my wife at the desk. We got to get up and quit
-
talking about what's hurting. It just hurts.
-
All those talk about something else, the aches and the pains.
-
We program it many times with our speech, and we spend too
-
much time telling it that it's sick, telling it that it hurts,
-
it can't do this, it can't do what it used to.
-
And I know it's somewhat true, but the more you tell it, the
-
worse it's going to get. But see, in the spirit realm,
-
many do the same thing. I tried this church.
-
I tried that church. I've tried reading it.
-
If you're trying it, it ain't going to work.
-
Trying it will not work. Anybody figured that out trying
-
this, living this God, it will not work.
-
You got to make your mind up and you got to say it doesn't matter
-
devil what you pull on me today or tomorrow and in the future.
-
Jesus is Lord, I'm not giving up.
-
I'm not shutting up. I'm not quitting because I'm
-
carrying around something on the inside of me and it shut up like
-
a fire in my heart, my bones and it's got to come out in the
-
spirit. Many do the same thing, but
-
Jesus and the disciples, they were much different.
-
Many times we say, well, that the disciples did it.
-
You know why people say, well, that's for the disciples,
-
because it's easier. They don't have to pull anything
-
out and try. They don't have to pull it out
-
and use it. Exercise it and begin to see,
-
start praying for your sick dog, Amen.
-
Start praying for the tree limb to fall that hadn't failed.
-
Start. It's in the little things, Amen.
-
He's the God of the little things.
-
He cares about everything and he says if you can trust me in the
-
little things, get ready because then you'll be able to pray for
-
the big things and not doubt. He said ask whatsoever you will
-
in my name and I can do it. The preacher does it, but I
-
can't do it. Yes, you can begin to pull those
-
things that God has placed in you.
-
Be like the boy with the arm, but the fingers at the shoulder
-
say God just pull it out of me. Just help me, just pull it out
-
of me because the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead
-
lives where within us. I was talking to someone the
-
other day. We've, I'm sure all of you heard
-
about the horse pandemic, the virus that's going around that's
-
just devastating people, devastating them.
-
I was in the woods when I heard about it hunting.
-
I prayed. I said, God, this is bad.
-
It's their livelihood. You know what I heard?
-
I heard God say this is their God.
-
This is their God. This is their God.
-
I've been there before. You've been there before.
-
It can become your God. And I heard this.
-
Just let me work on it a little bit.
-
Change the way I prayed about it.
-
Change the people get so devastated today.
-
People wasn't worried about and COVID about so much.
-
All of them dying as they were. They wasn't going to get to go
-
do what they wanted to do, right?
-
That's what we do because we covet.
-
We're not content with what we have.
-
We can't pull the love of Christ out many times, right?
-
But yet we serve a God that the same spirit as you stand your
-
feet that raise Jesus from the dead dwells, dwells within us.
-
And then as I begin to pray about it, I met back up with the
-
truck, with the guys that I was hunting with that night.
-
You know, I, they were talking about, I said, you know, what's,
-
what's what, what's really happening here?
-
I said, God's getting people ready because I said, as you got
-
the call, the national finals could be shut down.
-
This could be shut down, All this could be.
-
And everybody's just panic. And I said, one day it ain't
-
going to be horses dropping. One day you could get a call
-
that there's a pandemic, Maybe it's a nuclear weapon, that
-
that's prophecy. The Bible says it.
-
The Bible says the earth and everything in it's going to melt
-
with what fervent heat. It could be nuclear.
-
All the Fruit Loops running around today they want to
-
destroy at all cost for their agenda.
-
I heard one said that it could have been the animal rights
-
people sacrificing a few to to keep all the animals home from
-
all the other events. So they release a pandemic?
-
How many believe COVID was released?
-
It's pretty much proven it didn't prevail.
-
God give us another chance but what do we do?
-
Churches were full for a little bit.
-
People. All of a sudden I had a call and
-
pastor, you canceling church. I said no, we didn't cancel the
-
service. We've met outside a couple
-
times. I said my God controls that.
-
We lost a great warrior on the stage of COVID, but he wouldn't
-
have backed down in his faith. We had it at the same time, but
-
he still would have had church. I can promise you.
-
But see, we get so scared. But I told this individual, I, I
-
said, oh good, I'm glad you're not having church.
-
I said, really, you ain't been too concerned about it for the
-
last six months and all of a sudden now, now, But see, one
-
day normality is not going to return.
-
Normal is not going to return, but see the enemy's also
-
working. We get over it so fast, we get
-
over so fast millions die. We get over so fast and we
-
forget the God that brought us out.
-
Just like the children of Israel, just like the 10 lepers,
-
other than the the 9 lepers that just kept going on.
-

-
morning? Thanks for listening to the
