  1. Turn over to Psalms 119 verse 89.

    Psalms 119:89

  2. Psalms 118, verse 89. I'm going to run through a few

  3. scriptures to get us into some participation mode.

  4. OK. And it says this forever, O

  5. Lord, your word is settled in heaven forever.

  6. O Lord, come on forever, O Lord, your Word is what?

  7. What is it? Where it's settled, Where in

  8. heaven? Glory to God, it is forever

  9. settled in heaven. Psalms 100 and eight 119 verse

  10. 89 right. Let me look at this real quick

  11. because you know, I just again just wanting to move in and

  12. whatever the Lord is doing this word settled means the firm

  13. standing or a pillar. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

  14. It means to stand to take one stand, stand upright be set over

  15. established. Now notice in this forever how

  16. long? How long again forever Oh Lord,

  17. your word is what established stands where in heaven.

  18. So if all of us were to leave our bodies right now and we

  19. would be called up to the 3rd heaven, we would be in heaven

  20. where God lives, where Jesus Christ is seated at His right

  21. hand. If we walked into the throne

  22. room and we would hear Him declare things in the heaven

  23. realm, this is what we would only experience.

  24. That word coming to pass period, exclamation point, even that

  25. word is forever settled in in heaven.

  26. At no time is there a time in eternity or in the scope of

  27. forever, that that word has not come to pass in heaven.

  28. In heaven. And when 1 anointed cherub

  29. deceives some others by about 1/3 of the angelic host to make

  30. a run on the throne in heaven, they could not defeat the Word,

  31. for the Word is forever settled in heaven, and they could not

  32. come against the Word and be victorious.

  33. The Word always wins. It wins and it has won.

  34. Are you hearing me? Which means in that realm That's

  35. at a moment. And we want to know how quick it

  36. was. Jesus said I saw Satan fall like

  37. man. Lightning's quick.

  38. I mean, it's fast. I mean, it's like a blink of an

  39. eye, which is, you know, not a full blink, but 1/2 of, I mean,

  40. it's like so quick. And that's how quick that

  41. rebellion went. Because his word is forever

  42. settled in heaven. Now the question is, is how do

  43. we establish a forever word here in the earth?

  44. Amen, 'cause in his realm we know it is.

  45. This is why Jesus said, Now when you pray, pray this way, our

  46. Father who art heaven hallowed be your name, your Kingdom, your

  47. will be on as it is, and how's his will done in heaven?

  48. Always it stands, it's established, it is never

  49. defeated in that amazing, it never fails, and it's forever

  50. settled. Psalms 138 verse 2 says this.

    Psalms 138:2

  51. I will bow down towards your holy temple and give thanks to

  52. your name for your loving kindness and your truth.

  53. For you have magnified your word according to all your names.

  54. Another translation says this. I have magnified your name even

  55. above all your names, meaning that the names of God are not

  56. higher than His Word. In essence, what the Lord

  57. desires for all creation to know is that His Word is infallible,

  58. it is irreplaceable, it cannot be conquered, it is just, it is

  59. righteous, it is love, It will come to pass, it will surely

  60. come to pass. Hallelujah, man, what assurance

  61. to the believer, to a child of God, that God's word is settled,

  62. established and it is magnified. What it means is, is God, his

  63. character, is based upon him doing exactly what he says.

  64. He can never be caught as a liar.

  65. Never. He always does what he says he

  66. will never for all eternity, eternity past eternity's future,

  67. he will never be caught. A liar can't do it because he

  68. has magnified his name, His word even above his name, meaning

  69. that he will do even though, OK, thank you Lord, the Lord just

  70. told me this. He said this.

  71. He said, remember how I've said in my word for my name's sake,

  72. right? For my name's sake.

  73. There were things that he did or he was in mercy functioning said

  74. for, for my name's sake, meaning I have to do my word.

  75. My word is above my name, and not just because of my name and

  76. my namesake, but because of my name.

  77. My name is being attacked. My name is being made as mud.

  78. People are talking about saying I'm not doing, you understand,

  79. Gideon himself said some things to God that was not truth when

  80. he was down in the wine press trying to separate the wheat

  81. from the chaff. And the Angel came in and said,

  82. you're a mighty man of valor. The Lord has dunk, you know,

  83. wants to talk to you about delivering the people.

  84. And he's like, where is God? I mean, if he's God and he was

  85. for us, then how come all this stuff's happening to us now?

  86. Do you understand? Did God do that to them?

  87. But he's acting like God has let the nation down.

  88. But why has the nation been under attack?

  89. Why has the nation been subject to servitude?

  90. Is because the nation was in rebellion to the things God said

  91. in his word. If you can specifically find it

  92. in Deuteronomy 28 during that particular time period, he said

  93. if you will obey my words and my commands, all these things are

  94. going to happen. You'll be the head, not the

  95. tail. You'll be above and not beneath.

  96. You'll be blessed coming in and blessed going out right?

  97. He all these blessings are going to overtake you.

  98. Your enemy will come before you one way and flee before you what

  99. seven ways? However, He says if you do not

  100. obey my word, then guess what's going to happen?

  101. These things are going to manifest.

  102. And again, because for His name's sake, He wants to keep

  103. His nation established, but He has to still magnify His word

  104. even above that. And mercy may push back judgment

  105. so that it's not manifesting on specific generations.

  106. But if rebellion as we saw in the Old Covenant occurred, then

  107. there comes a day when the Lord said at this point, because my

  108. word is even above my name, although the nation's going to

  109. be taken over and others may blasphemy me.

  110. But yet he was part of the process which really he said,

  111. listen, if I if, if, if you get destroyed, the nations are going

  112. to know that I came against you because of your disobedience.

  113. Are you hearing me? So God's word is extremely

  114. valuable to Him. It is the most valuable thing to

  115. Him, His word. I said His word, and He

  116. magnifies it even above His name.

  117. Isaiah 5511 says it this way. So will my word, which goes

  118. forth from my mouth. It will.

  119. It will what, not return to me empty, without accomplishing

  120. what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for

  121. which I sent it. So if that word comes back to

  122. Him as He requires it to come back, which is coming back in

  123. faith, when a believer speaks the word in faith and it re

  124. enters the ear of the Father, then he is obligated to fulfill

  125. that word. Hallelujah.

  126. I said he is obligated to feel that word.

  127. And here's the thing, he's only feeling the word he sent, which

  128. means he said something, you heard it, and then you repeated

  129. what he said. Then he hears what he let

  130. released coming from your mouth, and then he performs it.

  131. Glory to God. I said glory to God.

  132. Now that is a principle laid out within the Kingdom.

  133. That's how the Kingdom operates. We know in Ecclesiastes 84 says

  134. where the word of the king is, there's power and there is power

  135. with our King who is in heaven. Hallelujah.

  136. And you understand he loves to perform his word.

  137. Oh man, he loves to which we've saw this scripture a couple of

  138. Sundays ago, if you'll remember in Psalms 33 nine.

  139. What did it say? For He spoke and it was He

  140. commanded, and it stood fast. Aren't you glad that when the

  141. Lord speaks, it comes to pass? Now, if you've experienced life

  142. where you've heard something about God, or maybe you even

  143. heard something from God, but yet you're not experiencing what

  144. you've heard about God or or potentially what you've heard

  145. directly from God. It's not God's Word that's

  146. failing. There is something on our end

  147. that is required, that is required in order for that Word

  148. to come to pass. Are you hearing me?

  149. It's a thing called faith, and faith is a firm persuasion.

  150. But I'm going to explain a little bit more here.

  151. Now let's look at this in John chapter 12.

    John 12 chapter mention

  152. John chapter 12 is at a context of Jesus.

    John 12 chapter mention

  153. Now Jesus Christ is the Word in the flesh.

  154. The Word became flesh. I said the Word became flesh,

  155. and we call him Jesus. Amen.

  156. He was prophesied that He would come because of the fall of man

  157. and because man fell, the Word had to come so that he could

  158. redeem man, so that man could be put back in his original

  159. position of dominion. According to Genesis 126, Jesus

  160. did not come to the earth so that we would be in awe of God.

  161. Jesus came into the earth as a man anointed of the Spirit, not

  162. to show us what he can do, but to show us what we can do when

  163. we listen to the Spirit of God that we are anointed of and

  164. begin to speak like Jesus spoke. Amen.

  165. So again, this is not about of seeing what Jesus and being in

  166. awe of what Jesus does because he's Jesus now.

  167. It's pretty amazing, yes. However, Jesus is trying to

  168. convey to us this is how your Father in heaven originally

  169. desired you to function and operate before sin ever enter

  170. the world. And this is another step,

  171. another phase of demonstrating His desire for humanity to be

  172. able to function that ultimately in the new heaven and new earth.

  173. After those that disobeyed or cast into the lake of fire,

  174. which is a second death and rebelled and do not want

  175. anything to do with God, then those that have followed him and

  176. serve Him and love him because He first loved us, then we will

  177. be with Him forever solely in the original position that God

  178. placed us in. In Genesis chapter one verse 26,

  179. Jesus said this. In John 12, we're going to start

  180. in verse 8, excuse me, John 8. Let's look at John eight first.

  181. John 8 verse 28 says this. So Jesus said when you lift up

  182. the Son of Man, notice He called himself the Son of man.

  183. He was the Son of God, don't get me wrong, but He's also the Son

  184. of man. He emptied himself of His glory

  185. and He became like a man anointed of the Holy Ghost and

  186. functioning fully as a man anointed by the Spirit following

  187. the voice of the Spirit in the earth.

  188. So Jesus when he says when you lift up the Son of man, then you

  189. will know that I am he and I do what nothing on my own

  190. initiative, but I I what speak these things as the Father

  191. taught me. So the things Jesus is saying is

  192. a direct result of what he is hearing.

  193. What he is saying is a direct result of what he is hearing.

  194. Which means the Son of Man feels like you do.

  195. We have a High Priest that cannot sympathize with our

  196. weaknesses, meaning being subject to or being under the

  197. influence of feelings and emotions that are in the earth

  198. and all of the things that attack us to try to cause us to

  199. side with things contrary to God's Word, to stay in in

  200. essence rebellion to to not do His word, but to act on how we

  201. feel about it. And so Jesus himself being

  202. attacked because he was tempted on all accounts like we were,

  203. yet did not sin. And though he had a lot of

  204. pressure put on him, he, he kept his mind in control by the

  205. Spirit to only respond in the situations to how he heard.

  206. So what he is saying is in direct contact to what he is

  207. hearing. He is not addressing anything

  208. any other way and I'm telling you this is the highest way of

  209. living and and it is it is effort.

  210. If it was easy we would all be here.

  211. But in order to get there, you have got to deny your flesh and

  212. you have to deny your feelings in situations that occur in your

  213. life. Jesus is the master at this and

  214. he we can do what he did. All right, let's look at this

  215. other verse in John chapter 12, verse 49 and 50, Jesus says this

    John 12:49

  216. again and we use these scriptures.

  217. Why? Because we let everything

  218. confirmed by two or three witnesses.

  219. So the Father has already established a verses.

  220. We've already communicated that his word is settled and he's

  221. going to do that period. He's going to do that.

  222. Jesus says I'm doing what I hear because Dad's word is settled

  223. for I do not speak on my own initiative.

  224. Now let me make a little quick disclaimer before I finish

  225. reading that. If Jesus, who is the one we are

  226. to follow, did not take up the right to say what he wanted to

  227. say, then why do we continue to hold on to this idea that we

  228. should be able to say what we want to say?

  229. Now in the United States, this is a learned behavior because we

  230. say this is what freedom is. Freedom is you can say what you

  231. want to say. It's a free country.

  232. Well, in the realm of the natural, yes, you can.

  233. I get that. And I understand that.

  234. Especially for those that are not even born of God.

  235. Well, all you can do is say what you think.

  236. And the Bible says there's a way that seems right to a man.

  237. But in the end lies death, right?

  238. So again, and even God because your free will will let you

  239. think and say whatever you want to say because he doesn't

  240. control your life. However, life is in his word.

  241. That's why Peter says, where am I going to go?

  242. You have words of you have words of life, right?

  243. So again, we kind of have this in our own natural culture, this

  244. desire to just say what we want to say and don't deny me that,

  245. right? Well, God doesn't deny you that.

  246. However, he is instructing us. You might want to say what I'm

  247. saying because what I say stands forever.

  248. And I'm fully aware of what's going on in your situation and

  249. what you want to say to that person and how you think that

  250. will make you feel after you do that.

  251. But if you say what I say, it brings the greatest remedy that

  252. mean they'll they'll receive it. But it is how I need you to

  253. respond, because my response is the only thing that offers life.

  254. So Jesus said I do not speak on my own initiative, but the

  255. Father himself who sent me has given me a command as to what to

  256. say and what to speak. I know that his commandment is

  257. eternal man. If we know that, then why are we

  258. not like hungry to devour the word, to know the words of life

  259. that are contained within Scripture and to have it written

  260. on our hearts and in our minds and get our mind renewed to it

  261. to where we're like, OK, God, this just happened.

  262. What do I say that That's like our first response.

  263. We need to become first word responders, right?

  264. First word responders? Because if we don't watch out,

  265. it's easy for us to respond again.

  266. There were many parents. First response was to attack the

  267. authority at the game. Why is this?

  268. Because man in the flesh will always attack authority.

  269. Adam attacked God when God came down after he ate the fruit.

  270. You said how do you attack God? He said it's the woman you gave

  271. me, it's the woman you gave me. It's your fault.

  272. But the law was like it's not good for man to be alone.

  273. So now you're telling me it's a lie and the the mandate of being

  274. fruitful and multiply you were going to do all by yourself.

  275. I didn't make you asexual. No, I brought you a help meet

  276. Hallelujah. And I'm not wrong in this.

  277. Oh, but Adam wanted to tell God he was wrong.

  278. Well, that's that woman you gave me.

  279. And he was like, I'll come back to you.

  280. I'm coming back to you. So again Jesus says, listen, I'm

  281. only saying what He told me to say.

  282. You know, his commands are eternal life.

  283. Therefore the things I speak, I speak.

  284. How? Put that verse back up, verse

  285. 50. He said, I know that His

  286. commandment is eternal life. Therefore the things I speak, I

  287. speak. How speak, how does he speak?

  288. What's those two words? Say those words again.

  289. Say those words again. Say those words again.

  290. Say those words again. The Father has told me and man,

  291. you know when I read that, guess what?

  292. Who it reminded me of something that I have experienced in a

  293. just as saying, say just as, all right, we're going to come back

  294. to it. Let me give you 2 more verses

  295. before we get to it. In John chapter 12, just so you

    John 12 chapter mention

  296. know that this is applicable in the Godhead, the Godhead or what

  297. we call the Triune of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy

  298. Spirit, OK? The Father is the ultimate

  299. authority. What he says forever settled.

  300. Jesus is eternally submitted to the Father.

  301. Jesus has never wanted to take power.

  302. He's never wanted to be the first seat, although he's got

  303. to. Never does he want to take the

  304. Father's position. He has totally submitted to the

  305. Father in eternity, are in heaven's realm, and in the

  306. earth. Amen.

  307. The Holy Spirit is not trying to be though, even though He is the

  308. power, He's the power. I mean, when the Father says in

  309. the book of beginnings Genesis 1, then God said that's the

  310. Father. Then God said which saying is

  311. the word, so that's Jesus. Then God said let there be in

  312. the Holy Ghost made it materialize.

  313. I mean, the Holy Spirit's like, I'm doing all the work down

  314. here. I'm the one who actually create,

  315. calls the stars to happen once you said it.

  316. I'm the ones who actually made all the planets once you said

  317. it, I mean he, but it's not a power play.

  318. I said there's no power. They're always in agreement.

  319. I said they're always in agreement 'cause they're one,

  320. they're unified. Amen.

  321. So in Luke or John chapter 12 verse 46 or 26, it says, but the

    John 12:46

  322. Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name.

  323. So who's sending the Holy Spirit?

  324. Not Jesus, although Jesus announced him.

  325. Because here's the thing, the Father's doing all the sending

  326. in the 1st place. Jesus did not come because he

  327. wanted to come for us. Jesus came because he was sent

  328. by the Father. Now that doesn't mean Jesus

  329. doesn't want to come for you. It just the original thought

  330. didn't come with him, it comes with the Father.

  331. So when man fell in Genesis 3, Jesus didn't say, let me go now

  332. Jesus did not have a debate with a father and say man, so you

  333. we're going to have to flood the earth now and we're only keeping

  334. no and his family. Why didn't you send me already?

  335. Then do this, no 'cause I only do what he says and He knows

  336. when, 'cause He's already said I'm coming.

  337. He said I'm coming through a woman, through a virgin.

  338. Could it came through the 1st girl born Kemper virgin, the

  339. seed could have come, but the Lord didn't do it.

  340. He said in the fullness of time there was a time that God had

  341. prepared and it was a perfect time.

  342. It was an exact time. It was not a wrong time.

  343. It was the perfect time, the will of God, time that Jesus

  344. came into the planet. Hallelujah.

  345. But the Father also, after Jesus finishes his work, completes it.

  346. There's another coming. I said there's another one.

  347. And they call him the Helper. He calls him the Spirit of

  348. truth, it says. But the Helper or the Holy

  349. Spirit, whom the Father will send to my name, He will teach

  350. you all things. And I like this.

  351. Bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

  352. So the Holy Spirit is reminding you what the Word says.

  353. The Holy Spirit is to remind you of what the Word says.

  354. Because again, the Word is only saying what the Father says.

  355. Amen. So we see in John chapter 16

    John 16:13

  356. verse 13, it says, But when He, the Spirit of truth comes, He

  357. will guide you into all truth. And He will not speak on His own

  358. initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak and He will

  359. disclose to you what is to come. Notice this pattern that

  360. whatever the Father is saying, both the Son and the Holy Spirit

  361. are hearing and then saying. So what do you think that means

  362. for us as children of God? We should be hearing what the

  363. Spirit is saying. Who is listening to the Father?

  364. And we should only be saying that.

  365. And this is the probably the single greatest challenge that

  366. all believers on the planet have, and that is to govern or

  367. regulate your mouth so that it only flows with what the Spirit

  368. is saying. Hallelujah.

  369. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Now, what I'm not saying is that

  370. it you are he's only talk. How can I say this?

  371. Obviously I'm not saying that you can't go to Ted and say Ted,

  372. you have a great haircut and say, well, Lord, can I tell him

  373. he has a great haircut. You understand what I'm saying,

  374. but there are things in the earth that we need to

  375. specifically be hearing from the Father by the Spirit of God and

  376. those are the things we want to make sure that we are doing.

  377. So again, verse 50 of John chapter 12 said Jesus said,

    John 12 chapter mention

  378. therefore the things I speak, I speak just as say just as say

  379. just as say just as. So Jesus and the Holy Spirit are

  380. in cadence with the Father. Therefore their words were

  381. declaring his will on earth as it is in heaven.

  382. Now when I was in the army, we did cadence.

  383. How many of you were in the military stand to your feet

  384. because veteran's day was on Monday.

  385. We obviously recognize you last week, but thanks to all our

  386. veterans here. Amen.

  387. Stay standing for me. Stay standing because I'm going

  388. to need you here in a minute, right?

  389. We're going to start with you. All right.

  390. Now of all that are standing, how many of you remember doing

  391. cadence? All right, OK.

  392. Now, cadence is something that we do in the military for very

  393. specific reasons, OK? And I'm going to give you the

  394. purpose of of cadence again. Y'all stood at attention for a

  395. long time, longer than what I'm going to do.

  396. So you're going to be all right. OK.

  397. Now, some of you saying I'm a lot older now, Pastor Earl.

  398. Yeah, but you're able, because you had mental resolve to be

  399. able to stand at attention for quite some time in formation.

  400. And again, I'm not going to keep you that long, but I do need to

  401. say a few things and need you to help me.

  402. The purpose of cadence, OK, Number one, it maintains unity.

  403. Cadence maintains unity #2 it maintains mental focus.

  404. And for any of those who were in basic training at Fort Jackson,

  405. SC, you know the hill and you know that hill that they take

  406. you at basic training up that hill and they get you into what

  407. they say. Double time, double time March.

  408. And next thing. Now we got the run cadence

  409. kicking and now we're going up the hill.

  410. And you understand, we don't like running, but they are

  411. conditioning us. And so when they begin to see

  412. that the troops need their next one, it provides morale.

  413. It builds morale, so they'll start singing a song because

  414. when you sing the song, you begin to get the mental clarity

  415. so that you're not thinking about the pain in your body and

  416. you're just going the next step. The next step because there's a

  417. mission to accomplish. There's somewhere we got to be

  418. Hallelujah. I said Hallelujah.

  419. So with that being said, the cadence will also cause you to

  420. maintain pace because not everybody is feeling the same

  421. yet. It'll give you a pace setter and

  422. it can get you so those that are a little weaker can come up.

  423. Those that are a little stronger is helping to pull and next

  424. thing you know will finally continue to progress together.

  425. Because it doesn't do any good if one goes out by themselves

  426. and the other one gets because there's a a motto within all

  427. military branches. Leave no one behind.

  428. All right. And in the church, it should be

  429. even more so. It maintains unity, it maintains

  430. mental focus, it maintains pace, it boosts morale #5 it builds

  431. camaraderie and teamwork. It's what a cadence does, all

  432. right. And this last one, which is

  433. super awesome because the first cadence happened in the

  434. Revolutionary War, was the very first cadence given was in the

  435. Revolutionary War. And it was designed to to reload

  436. the muskets because during the Revolutionary War, they would

  437. get on both sides, line up. And so the cadence would cause

  438. them to do a reload so that they all would all do at the same

  439. time. They would stand in order to all

  440. fire at the same time. So in essence, cadence

  441. synchronizes the deployment of weapons of warfare and could it

  442. be the church tends to suffer the schemes of the devil is

  443. because we're not staying in cadence on how to synchronize

  444. the deployment of our weapons of warfare because if we're not

  445. saying the same thing. Are you hearing me now?

  446. For all those who standing up, we're going to give an example

  447. today and I'm in the Army. So for the Navy, Marines, Coast

  448. Guard and Air Force, I don't have any of your cadences.

  449. You are an inferior branch anyway.

  450. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

  451. We're all on the same team. But that's why that military

  452. they, I don't even don't even mention the US Space Force.

  453. Is anybody in the Space Force here?

  454. Are you in the Space Force? No, you're just in the Air

  455. Force. OK.

  456. All right. Just checking.

  457. I've not literally met a Space Force person yet, but I want to

  458. one day because it is now a branch.

  459. Amen. I think we're supposed to greet

  460. them like this or something. No, I'm kidding.

  461. I don't know. I don't know.

  462. Is that how they salute? I don't know.

  463. I haven't. I don't know.

  464. Right. Hallelujah.

  465. Because you understand those that are in military, We are, we

  466. are veterans first. At the end of the day, we are on

  467. the same team for the same country.

  468. And in our homeland, we may banter about who's better,

  469. better, but when it comes to war, we are synchronizing in

  470. cadence. Are you hearing me?

  471. We are synchronizing in cadence. There's a particular cadence

  472. that I remember Young put it up on the screen so you guys can do

  473. this one and again I'm doing with the Army.

  474. All right now y'all know how this goes.

  475. We say the first line and then you're going to be in cadence

  476. with it. OK, so let's give it a a

  477. demonstration to our congregation.

  478. Now, you better act like you're back in basic so you understand

  479. the volume we're talking about here, all right?

  480. Because don't make me put you on the front lean and rest position

  481. in front of everybody today, all right?

  482. Because you can't smoke a rock. All right?

  483. Ready. They say that in the Army, the

  484. coffee's mighty fine. They say that in the Army it

  485. looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine.

  486. It looks like muddy water. Oh Lord, I want to go, but they

  487. won't let me go. Hey.

  488. Oh, y'all like that? They say that in the army the

  489. chow is mighty fine. A chicken jumped off the table

  490. and started marking time. Oh Lord, I want to go, but they

  491. won't let me go. Hey now I'm going to.

  492. Tell you right now, there's nothing like a platoon going

  493. across the base in Unity. Now notice these men that are

  494. talking right now, they cannot sing the majority of them, they

  495. cannot carry a tune. But do you notice how we sound

  496. together? Now if we could do this in

  497. praise, cause praise is really a cadence time in ServiceNow.

  498. Would you like to participate in the next line?

  499. Come on, stand up church, get it Attention, please.

  500. Now you heard the veterans. Let's see how the body of Christ

  501. can do you ready. They say that in the army the

  502. biscuits are mighty fine. One world off the table and

  503. killed a friend of. Mine.

  504. Oh Lord, I want to go. But then it won't let me go.

  505. Hey, man. We sounding good.

  506. Y'all want to do another one? We did.

  507. I got another one ready. All right.

  508. All you got to do is echo what I say how I say it.

  509. I'm a steamroller baby and I'm rolling down the line.

  510. So you better get out of my way. Before I roll all over you and

  511. we'll do the church version, I made a church version.

  512. I'm a steamroller Satan. I speak His word, not mine, so

  513. you better get out of my way before I roll all over you,

  514. before I stomp all over you. Oh, come on.

  515. I got anybody in VPK here? Anybody got any VPK kids in

  516. here? VPK kids?

  517. You got a VPK child in here? OK, I'm talking my in here, OK,

  518. because I don't want to ruin their little No, don't go get

  519. them. We want them to stay innocent.

  520. Young, be seated. Thank you.

  521. Isn't that fun? That's what we are to do with

  522. our about voice. We are to do cadence to the

  523. Lord's word. And it is a praise to him.

  524. All right, It's a praise to him. So there was another cadence.

  525. I'll close with this one and I won't make you sing it, but it's

  526. called the yellow bird, all right.

  527. And so when I my kids growing up, I would do the yellow bird

  528. with them. All right.

  529. And I'm going to give you the Army version first, all right,

  530. This is the Army version. All right.

  531. You can you can say it back with me if you like to.

  532. A yellow bird with a yellow bill was sitting on my window seal.

  533. I coached him in with a piece of bread and then I've smashed his

  534. little head. Now we're in the Army people,

  535. and they're trying to condition us to go to war and defeat an

  536. enemy. So you got to kind of.

  537. So Brianna does this in our VPK preschool, but there's a

  538. preschool version. So parents, do not be shocked

  539. when you start hearing your child come home, say a yellow

  540. bird, and you start passing out. OK, so Brianna's version is a

  541. yellow bird. Now, the last statement is

  542. usually not echoed because everyone already knows it.

  543. So we just say it together, you know?

  544. And then I smash his little head, right?

  545. OK, so that's how that goes. There's not an echo, but I'm

  546. going to do the last one because I want you to hear it.

  547. I don't want to give it away before it starts, so I'll just

  548. say it by myself, OK? All right.

  549. A yellow bird with a yellow bill was sitting on my window seal.

  550. I coached him in with a piece of red, and then I pet his little

  551. head. Right.

  552. Am I right in that suite? And all the VP cares are so

  553. sweet. Then when they enlist in the

  554. army one day they'll be like, my VPK teacher was a liar.

  555. She was a liar. Oh my God, they killed the

  556. birds. They killed the birds.

  557. Remember that Brianna when it's all said and done?

  558. Remember that John chapter 14, John chapter 14 verses 10 to 14,

    John 14 chapter mention John 14:10–14

  559. Jesus says do do you not believe that I am in the Father and the

  560. Father is in me? The words that I say to you, I

  561. do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father

  562. abiding in me does his works believe me that I am in the

  563. Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise believe because of the

  564. works themselves and again the works are direct result of Jesus

  565. saying what he is hearing. He goes on then and says truly,

  566. truly. I say to you say, say to me.

  567. I say to you, he who believes in me.

  568. The works that I do He will do also, and greater works than

  569. these He will do because I go to the Father, Whatever you in my

  570. name, that I will, so that the Father may be glorified in the

  571. Son. If you ask me anything in my

  572. name, I will do it now. Based upon the scriptures we've

  573. read, you understand anything you're asking is a direct result

  574. of only what you are hearing from the Spirit who is

  575. communicating what He's hearing from the Son, who's

  576. communicating what he's hearing from the Father.

  577. So this verse should be working in our lives all the time

  578. because if we will develop our spiritual hearing to hear only

  579. what the Spirit is saying about the situations and circumstances

  580. and challenges we're having in life, and we get in cadence.

  581. And the thing about a cadence, you know, is all my veterans can

  582. testify is that we didn't do a cadence once.

  583. I mean, we would. And the reason why these, a lot

  584. of these get committed to our memory is because it was an

  585. everyday confession, an everyday cadence that we were just.

  586. So a lot of times when you're in the word and quoting the word,

  587. really what you're doing is you're bringing a cadence to the

  588. earth. You're reminding the earth that

  589. that word that's in heaven, that's forever settled, it's

  590. just as powerful down here in the planet.

  591. And so you're going to be saying cadence day in and day out.

  592. You're going to be speaking the word only.

  593. And Jesus, like, listen, I'm telling you, I'm saying to you

  594. those who believe in me and faith comes by hearing and

  595. hearing from the word of God. So I've heard, now I speak and

  596. because what I speak comes to pass, it's because I'm in

  597. cadence with my heavenly Father. I'm only saying what he's saying

  598. and I'm authorized to do it because Jesus has conquered it

  599. all. He is the king of everything and

  600. his name holds all authority. Hallelujah.

  601. So the word in your mouth is the same as the word in his mouth.

  602. If you are firmly persuaded of the word, if you're firmly

  603. persuaded when you hear from heaven in your life, it, it is

  604. that way because he said he will do what he said.

  605. He said that word doesn't return to him void.

  606. So again, the reason why he said the word that was sent forth

  607. from my mouth shall not return unto me.

  608. Empty your void, but it will accomplish that which I sent it

  609. to do. In essence, he's saying a yellow

  610. bird and then you are echoing our in cadence, speaking it back

  611. to his ears and he performed. So again, if he says by your

  612. stripes you're here and you say echo are getting cadence with

  613. that, that that cadence of healing.

  614. And there's a lot of scripture that is just a cadence of

  615. healing for your body because the word does good like a

  616. medicine. It becomes a cadence inside your

  617. spirit that will then affect your veins and affect your lungs

  618. and affect your organs and affect your muscle tissue and

  619. affect your bone marrow, affect your brain.

  620. Why it becomes a cadence? It becomes a sound on the inside

  621. of you that God now has to perform it in your body.

  622. When you're firmly persuaded, I said when you're firmly

  623. persuaded. Last two Scriptures and we'll be

  624. done in Mark Chapter 11 verse 22 says this.

    Mark 11:22

  625. So Jesus answered and said to them have faith in God.

  626. One translation says have God's faith or the God kind of faith

  627. and we can have God's faith because Jesus said in the

  628. previous passage of Scripture, he says, now I'm saying to you

  629. that if you believe in me, the works I do you'll do and greater

  630. because I go to the Father as I was led by the Spirit on the

  631. earth and did all these things, hearing from heaven, you are to

  632. be led by the Spirit because those who are sons of God, they

  633. are led by the Spirit of God. I hear him, I do what he says,

  634. and it's not my work or my individual effort.

  635. The effort I have is believing without doubting, is believing

  636. with that. And that's a powerful work now

  637. and it's required. It is a requirement for it to

  638. come to pass. It's a requirement now somebody

  639. else's faith can work for you for seasons.

  640. Are you hearing me but God ultimately wants us to rise to

  641. the occasion where we believe we receive as mark 11 here 22 to 24

  642. says for surely I say to you again, he's speaking so let's

  643. get in cadence. Whoever says to this mountain be

  644. removed and cast in the into the sea and does not doubt in his

  645. heart, but believes that those things which he says will be

  646. done. He will have whatever he says.

  647. Now notice Jesus said, now I'm saying to you that if you're

  648. saying because you've heard because faith is in God.

  649. So I'm saying that if you heard to speak to this mountain and

  650. you were firmly persuaded that you heard the Father say speak

  651. to this mountain, move and go to the sea.

  652. I'm talking a natural one. Now, I'm not talking

  653. figuratively, although it can be figuratively and spiritually

  654. speaking, because a lot of times we're in situations that seem

  655. like a mountain to us. And you know what?

  656. If you speak the word over that situation, that spiritual

  657. mountain or spiritual mountain of a situation will be removed

  658. and be tossed out of the way. You don't have to go around it.

  659. You can just move it out of the way.

  660. OK, But he's saying if you don't down your heart, if you're

  661. saying this, then whatever you say, these are cadence.

  662. You're saying whatever you ask, meaning your cadence, your

  663. cadence, your cadence, whatever. So those things that he says

  664. will be done. He will have whatever he says.

  665. So every time my cadence keeps going, I'm going to have it.

  666. Verse 24. Therefore, I say to you,

  667. whatever things you ask, when you pray, believe that you

  668. receive them and you will have them.

  669. The reason why a lot of times our cadence once we're asking

  670. the Father, Father, how do we handle this situation or, or how

  671. do we, you know, have this resource provided for or how,

  672. how is it that you're healing my body?

  673. Whatever the case may be, you give the word on the matter,

  674. then you like Father in the name of Jesus because you asked the

  675. Father in his name. Father in the name of Jesus, I'm

  676. in cadence with you. I'm not speaking my own word.

  677. I'm not saying my own thing. I'm not bringing my own line

  678. because if I was marching with a platoon and somebody else was

  679. throwing out some other words that doesn't provide you, it

  680. would mess up the whole formation.

  681. Just one getting out, getting out of rhythm, getting out of of

  682. what's being said, it can disrupt everything.

  683. And so I'm not here to speak mine.

  684. And even if what you say to me, it blows my mind and I'm like,

  685. how in the world I can't even conceive how that could come to

  686. pass doesn't matter. It's not for you to figure that

  687. out. It's only required for you to

  688. believe. And if you will get in cadence

  689. to what he says when you pray, Father, in the name of Jesus, I

  690. believe you at your word when you spoke to me by the Spirit,

  691. such and such and whatever I have that in Jesus name.

  692. Now everything else becomes the cadence of that prayer, which

  693. is, you know, thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord

  694. of whatever it is that you're you're believing God.

  695. You know, when we were believing God to purchase the mall and all

  696. this property, I would just come on the land in cadence.

  697. Thank you, Lord for 2121 US One South.

  698. Thank you, Lord. I was just in cadence.

  699. I know that we have it. I know it's ours.

  700. I know you're already brought it to us.

  701. I know you've already delivered it into our hands.

  702. We are possessing it to serve our community.

  703. I thank you. I was just in cadence.

  704. I didn't get out of cadence to say I don't know if it's going

  705. to work. I don't know how we're going to

  706. do this, man. That seems like we might not get

  707. it. I never got out of cadence.

  708. She don't get out of cadence. You stay with cadence.

  709. You just keep saying it. You just keep saying it because

  710. he's the one who's delivered that word to you first.

  711. Peter 125 says it this way. Come on up.

  712. Worship team says this. But the word of the Lord

  713. endures. But the word of the Lord

  714. endures. But the word of the Lord

  715. endures. And this is the word which was

  716. preached to you this morning. Now, before we rejoice, and

  717. again I say rejoice because I want us to practice a cadence

  718. before we go because again, as pastor Marcy said, didn't know

  719. what I was doing today. But she says we're literally

  720. quoting Scripture here. In fact, there's another

  721. scripture that says this. This is the day that the Lord

  722. has. I will and come on now.

  723. Now let's do cadence. So follow what I say.

  724. This is the day that the Lord has made.

  725. I will rejoice and be glad in it.

  726. Now I'm telling you, if you had that volume during praise, that

  727. kind of intensity, and again, all my vendors can let you know,

  728. there were many times at 4:30 in the morning before the rooster

  729. had a chance to wake up. Listen, we are waking up the

  730. rooster to crow for the rest of the world because the Army was

  731. right. We do more before 9:00 AM than

  732. most people do all day, OK? And so there were many mornings

  733. that we do not want to say a thing, but man, did it help wake

  734. you up, get you focused, get you moving.

  735. And it empowered you with those are, I mean, I don't even know

  736. enough about you, but I am so much more connected to you

  737. because, man, we are singing the same song.

  738. We're in step, we're in cadence. We're not out of rhythm, man.

  739. We're making this thing happen. I'm becoming stronger.

  740. I'll give you this testimony. I was in my last PT test in my

  741. first six months of that of training when I entered the

  742. Florida Army National Guard. I went away to basic, you know,

  743. for the 8 weeks, two months. From there we went from Fort

  744. Jackson, SC to Augusta, GA, where I was in the signal core

  745. as a telecommunication repair. I did electronic repair and when

  746. I was in there I was a four month school.

  747. At the end you have to pass APT test to finish all your

  748. qualifications to graduate and then they take send you back to

  749. your home unit. Well honestly I was sick and

  750. tired of running. I am in great shape, don't get

  751. me wrong. I've done enough push ups and

  752. sit ups. I mean I could do the push ups.

  753. I can Max push ups in a minute and you had two minutes.

  754. I can Max it 80, get up and be done.

  755. Sit ups never maxed them. I think the highest I ever got

  756. was like 87. I had to do 92 at my age

  757. bracket. OK, anyway, I had those pass and

  758. here we are running 2 miles. That's all he got to do and I'm

  759. running. But I'm telling you, mentally I

  760. am wasted. I was wasted.

  761. I guess I just wanted to go. I was just done, just done.

  762. And so I'm and I'm I am a whole half a lap behind my buddy from

  763. basic. Clark is his last name.

  764. He had the nickname Shadow. I can't tell you my nickname

  765. because it's I can't tell you it unfortunately.

  766. It's unfortunate. Anyway, with that being said,

  767. he's a half a lap ahead, so Shadow's up there and I'm and I

  768. don't know, something Shadow just knew and he said why did

  769. y'all call him Shadow? Well, he didn't talk a whole lot

  770. and he was my buddy so he was always with me.

  771. I was the sanguine personality. So I was kind of like, you know,

  772. I would talk. I was first platoon leader.

  773. I had no issues there, right? Could take charge of certain

  774. situation, no issue. So, but he would be right there.

  775. So they can end up nicknaming shadows.

  776. So he's a half a lap ahead. I don't know, maybe you know,

  777. it's eight times around the track.

  778. I don't know whether we were a mile, probably a mile, maybe a

  779. mile and a half maybe. But for whatever reason, he

  780. realized I'm not on pace. And if you don't pass, you get

  781. cycled back. That means they push you back

  782. two weeks and and over not just fell into a PT test of which I

  783. came in to that post. The first PT test I did was so I

  784. did. I scored so well, three

  785. hundreds, perfect. I was like 28290 somewhere in

  786. that range, you know, and I thought my drill Sergeant gonna

  787. tell me how awesome I was, but that's a different story.

  788. That is in the book Dominionaire.

  789. That's coming out next year, but it's not going to be titled

  790. that. But you understand.

  791. OK, With that being said, he notices, so he slows down for

  792. me. He catches up.

  793. I catch up with him and he's like, what's wrong?

  794. I don't even want to talk to the guy.

  795. You know what's wrong? You're not going to make it.

  796. He's like, look, this is it. It's the last one.

  797. He's called me by my nickname. I can't tell you what it was.

  798. OK, it ended with kicker. That's all I can say.

  799. And I'm running, I'm running, OK, I'm running.

  800. And he's like, what are you doing?

  801. So he kicks into cadence. Now, if you know anything about

  802. cadence, when it when it comes to running, it takes more out of

  803. you because you're using long. It's one thing to just breathe.

  804. It's another thing to talk while you're running.

  805. So here he goes with the cadence and it makes me want to cry

  806. because he done that for me. That's amazing.

  807. And so that cadence started kicking in, man.

  808. And I'm like, here, I'm not talking.

  809. I mean, I just want to lay down and die because not that I'm not

  810. fit, I just mentally gone, but he got into my mind.

  811. He got into my reserves. He he in inspire and because

  812. he's saying he started singing at a pace that I didn't even

  813. realize I was going faster. But man, when we came around the

  814. last corner and I saw the finish line.

  815. I'm a preach about this. A little bit later, I took off

  816. now I left him. He said, well, that's rude.

  817. Well, we were going to all pass anyway, OK, And he didn't mind,

  818. but he didn't have a kick because he had given me of

  819. himself to get to the finish line that we both go pass.

  820. So he wasn't going to fail at my expense.

  821. However, He gave of himself so that I could get to victory and

  822. that's what Cadence will do. It will get you over in a place

  823. of victory. So listen, when when our worship

  824. team or when you come in, I know there's times that you don't

  825. want to finish the service, but just look at the crazy one

  826. beside you with veins popping out of their out of their neck

  827. when they are worshiping the Lord and just getting Cadence.
