Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
-
from St. Augustine, FL.
-
Now enjoy this message. In Matthew chapter 25, starting
Matthew 25 chapter mention
-
in verse one, let me read through this particular account.
-
We'll go all the way to verse 13.
-
It says in the Kingdom of heaven because the Bible's about a
-
king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring.
-
It's not a religious document. We're not in a religion.
-
We're in a government. It's called the Kingdom.
-
God's King's dominion, all right, He has a domain.
-
He owns everything. He created the heavens and the
-
earth. And man has gotten him religion
-
because he likes to define God. But when God defines himself,
-
you'll realize He's the king. Amen.
-
And he sits on the seat of love. It is his nature.
-
He is life. When he speaks, he speaks life.
-
Are you hearing me? And anything contrary to what he
-
says becomes death. Then it's rebellion.
-
God doesn't want that to take place because his words bring
-
life. OK, says in the Kingdom of
-
heaven will be compared to 10 virgins who took their lamps and
-
went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish.
-
Five were prudent, For when the foolish took their lamps, they
-
took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flask along
-
with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was
-
delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.
-
But at midnight there was a shout.
-
Behold, the bridegroom come out to meet him.
-
Then all those virgins rose, trimmed their lamps the fullest
-
said to the prudent give us some of your oil, for our lamps are
-
going out. But the prudent answer No, there
-
will not be enough for us, and you too go instead to the
-
dealers and buy some for yourself.
-
And while they were going away to make the purchase, the
-
bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in, those who
-
were what red. He went in with him to the
-
wedding feast, and the door was shut.
-
Later the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open
-
up to us. But he answered, Truly, I say to
-
you, I do not know you. That means I'm not intimately
-
acquainted with you. Be on alert then, for you do not
-
know the day nor the hour. Now I'm bringing some things to
-
our remembrance. In fact, Peter and Paul broke
-
both in a context of Scripture says to stir you up by way of
-
reminder. You know it doesn't bother me.
-
I love to do this. I'm not here to tell you
-
something you don't know. I'm doing it to stir you up.
-
Why? Because you need to be reminded.
-
In fact, the first thing that Jesus said in introducing the
-
Holy Spirit is that he would bring things to your remembrance
-
that he said. So the Holy Ghost is his.
-
The first thing he's doing is to try to bring you.
-
When I say first, obviously he's got to reveal something outside.
-
After revelations come, then he wants to keep you in
-
remembrance. Are you hearing me?
-
So again, once you're hearing something I know.
-
Then the Holy Ghost knows you have heard.
-
So he's going to remind you. Well, I didn't know.
-
I don't remember. Well, the Holy Ghost does.
-
I do this when I lose stuff. Lord, you know where this is at.
-
I know you know. I mean, if I get quiet, he'll
-
talk to me and he'll tell me exactly where I left the keys
-
again. Right now, you understand,
-
Apple's trying to be God. Because now I can just push my
-
little watch and find my my phone, you know, and it beeps.
-
And now this new one, man, it gives me like within feet.
-
I was looking for it today. I hit it and I'm like beep,
-
beep, beep. I said OK, I don't know, it's
-
like, where was that at, right? So I started going well because
-
I have a two-story house. I was getting closer, but I was
-
on the wrong floor. I was like saying 1210 feet and
-
I'm like, I don't see. And I hit it again.
-
And I it's faint and I'm like, well, it's obviously not it not
-
here. So I'm like, I must have took it
-
upstairs and sure enough I did. Amen.
-
But the Holy Ghost knows everything.
-
Amen. And he will bring things to your
-
remembrance. In this passage of scripture of
-
the 10 virgins, we could see that there are two things
-
operating with oil. Pastor Marcy and I, as we've
-
been going through prayer and we've all been participating,
-
You know, there's been a little bit of a conversation about oil.
-
When she brought it up the other night about you need to do an
-
oil change. Now, again, that doesn't mean
-
you change spirits. It's in essence they're saying
-
that the oil, the reason why you keep be being filled is because
-
the Holy Spirit does come in and start dealing with impurity.
-
Let me just say this when you want to say I want to be on fire
-
for God. If you take it in context to the
-
Scripture, what you are asking the Holy Spirit to do is to
-
reveal things wrong in your life.
-
The fire of God is to burn off. It is not so that you can be
-
passionate, but we use it as that man.
-
We need the. Fire of the Holy.
-
Ghost. Well, good.
-
Let him come to tell you. Everything that ain't right.
-
With you, So you can deal with that and burn that off, right?
-
And people crying out further. I'm like, what else is wrong
-
with you? I mean, how many firings do we
-
got to put you through, right? In one sense, anyway, the fire
-
of the Holy Ghost is the burn off impurities, OK.
-
And so with that being said, the oil helps push impurities out
-
because you'll see one of the properties of oil is it's highly
-
flammable. Are you hearing me?
-
And it is to do that. So you want to be being filled.
-
Why? Because the Holy Ghost will come
-
in and touch this. You'll say, Yes, Sir, I'll deal
-
with that. Why?
-
Because it is just making you better.
-
It's tweaking your performance. OK, so they that the life of God
-
and the nature of God and the culture of the Kingdom of God
-
that is in another realm but exists in this realm through us,
-
can be clearly seen to all the world because the whole planet
-
is looking for the Kingdom of God.
-
This is why all nations are in an uproar.
-
All they want is a better government.
-
China thinks they're the best government, so they want to take
-
over. Russia thinks their government's
-
better than Ukraine, and they want to take over land and they
-
want to establish dominance. Iran.
-
Wants to do this is just wanting to be the best nation because
-
they think their ideals are the best.
-
When all the that is is just looking for the Kingdom of God,
-
they're trying to find it among men, OK.
-
And so in this context of Matthew 25, we see that oil is
-
in play. For five, they have an oil
-
crisis. For the others, they have an oil
-
reserve. Now I've ministered along the
-
line of the oil crisis. Today.
-
I want to minister along the line of the oil reserve, OK.
-
And I want to bring you back to a particular prophecy that
-
Brother Hagen had years ago concerning what's happening.
-
Because God will allow men and women of God that are under the
-
anointing according to the fivefold ministry.
-
And again, what's the fivefold ministry?
-
It's just Saints that God has has ordained for a very specific
-
work within his church and they have a very specific anointing.
-
You go to the university, you're going to have people in
-
different positions and based upon that position allows them
-
to operate with different type of power.
-
OK, by all rights, they're all a part of the university, but they
-
all don't function the same. Same thing happens in the
-
church. OK, in the church, same thing, a
-
place of business. You know, I could give you many
-
examples, but in the church there are five full ministry
-
called the the apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher and evangelist.
-
And there's a specific type of anointing that God gives those
-
individuals within those offices so that they can, you know, help
-
the church and edify it. One is the office of the
-
prophet. And the prophet has typically
-
functions within the gifts that they can see things in the
-
future, OK. And when we say see things in
-
the future, we're saying see things in the future from God's
-
perspective. Now, I'll just say this, There
-
are other spirits that you can see into, but you can't see.
-
Futuristically familiar spirits only see present and no past
-
because they've been around. Are you hearing me?
-
But with God, he has the ability to see because he knows the end
-
from the beginning or he knows the beginning from the end.
-
So again, we're all on God's light rewind, so to speak.
-
He's just like watching it all over again because he saw it
-
before he even spoke. OK, With that being said, he saw
-
some things by the Spirit, OK, in the spirit concerning things
-
in the last days. And although I'm not going to
-
take the time as I read this to you to plug all the scriptures
-
within this, in the context that this would take place, he kind
-
of highlights some himself. But at the end of the day, I
-
could dissect this completely out and show you that this is a
-
scriptural context, is what I'm saying.
-
But he says this. You're right on the verge.
-
Right on the verge of the greatest move and manifestation
-
of the spirit of God that this world has ever seen.
-
Do you believe that? OK, five people believe that.
-
Do you believe that? That we're on the verge?
-
Because if you don't believe that, then you won't get it.
-
Because you only get what you believe.
-
Jesus said only. Because if you don't believe,
-
even though it's available, you don't get it.
-
Because Jesus Christ has died and paid the payment for all
-
humanity. But not all of humanity gets it,
-
because they don't all believe. So do you believe?
-
That we are on the verge of the greatest move of the
-
manifestation of God. Well, the Scripture says we are
-
OK, he says. You're right on the edge of it,
-
like standing on the Creek bank, about to jump in, and if and if
-
you'll give the more earnest heed unto things which you have
-
heard not only of things you've heard about faith, and things
-
you've heard about healing, and things you've heard about the
-
Holy Spirit, and things you've heard about angels, and things
-
you've heard about divine visitations.
-
For remember that it was prophesied of Joel of old, that
-
in the last day said the Lord, I'll pour out my spirit on all
-
flesh, and and your young men will see visions, and your old
-
men will dream dreams, And upon my handmaidens I will pour out
-
my spirit, and they will prophecy.
-
So not only will it be that the young men will prophecy, but the
-
young women will prophecy, and the anointing and the outflow of
-
the Spirit of God will be great and amazing in those days.
-
For there will be visitations of angels.
-
I wonder why the Lord's having us go down that track this year.
-
Be not afraid, he said, but take heed unto these areas.
-
For Satan himself has at times come as an Angel of light.
-
But examine things in light of the Scripture, and walk in the
-
light of the word of God that keep you from deception.
-
And sometimes the Angel will give you direction even in your
-
finance, and even direction to save your lives, as in the case
-
of the shipwreck of Paul, and direction concerning ministry as
-
the salvation of Cornelius and his household.
-
And Philip as the Angel, spoke to him to go down to Gaza, and
-
the Ethiopian was converted. Those are three separate
-
scriptures. And so in these days there shall
-
come a mighty manifestation of the Spirit.
-
And the work that God intended should be done in these last
-
days shall be accomplished. They're going to be
-
accomplished. Now, how many people are going
-
to be working that? I can't tell you that.
-
But who's working? God will anoint.
-
Are you hearing me? He goes on to say.
-
For the time is short and things must be speeded up and and
-
you'll learn much faster spiritual things than those of
-
yesteryear. And you'll develop much faster
-
and it'll be said of someday virtually matured overnight.
-
Now let me stop right here, because some of y'all have just
-
gotten been born again, not too long.
-
Some of you got saved not too long ago.
-
Now I have hope for you. Meaning you can grow up fast.
-
Growing up spiritually has two elements to it and you cannot
-
bypass them. The first element is the
-
studying of the word. You have to be a student of the
-
word. You have to be in the word
-
sensitive spirit, not taking your ideas into the word, but
-
saying Lord, reveal to me what your word says and if there's
-
any thinking I have contrary to that word, I get rid of it.
-
That's a requirement. The second thing is, is then
-
tests, trials. Trouble is coming.
-
You cannot avoid it, but it doesn't matter because you are
-
the champion when conflict arises, Jesus said.
-
In this life you're going to have trials and tribulation but
-
be of what good cheer. So you're not going to reach
-
maturity outside of some obstacles.
-
Now here's the cool thing. If the if, if he is saying by
-
prophetic word, which I would say based upon the scripture of
-
Jesus, going out to use a the Kingdom of heaven is like a man
-
who went out to hire people to get in his field, remember.
-
And he hired some at the first of the day and he says what?
-
I'll pay you this. They negotiated.
-
What are you going to pay us? We'll do with denarius.
-
He said great come. He goes back at 3 hours later.
-
You need to come work. I'll give you, denarius said.
-
OK. He went six hours later, You
-
know, boom. And then the ninth hour and then
-
the 11th hour. I mean, one hour worth of work.
-
These guys are just wanting to get in the field somewhere so
-
they can stay with the harvest. It's not one day work.
-
This is. He called me into his field
-
tomorrow. I have a job.
-
So he said, why you standing around?
-
Nobody's called as you can come work my field because I thought
-
I'd already hired enough. You know, I've done, you know,
-
fours whatever. 5 hirings already at the beginning, 3:00,
-
Three hours in. Six hours in.
-
Nine hours in. You're my 5th higher and I
-
realized I need more people to help this harvest get in.
-
So when they all go into the harvest field, now the one.
-
Who worked an hour? Still worked.
-
Are you hearing what I'm saying? He still worked.
-
He still had to do whatever they were, you know, harvesting.
-
I don't know what it is, but he still had to work.
-
He still. Got under the trial of laboring.
-
According to what the master had said, if you'll do this, there's
-
a reward. And so he was believing that
-
after this hour, I'm going to get something by faith.
-
Oh, y'all by. Faith.
-
He was saying if I go in this, guys not going to cheat me, he's
-
going to give me at least a wage for that hour.
-
I don't know what, but whatever, I'm glad.
-
And he's hired me to come tomorrow.
-
So you understand all these people were working for free.
-
He didn't pay them ahead of time.
-
They were expecting it by faith that it would show up by the end
-
of the day. So they put in all the labor
-
before they got the reward. This is how faith functions,
-
people. Again, you don't get it first
-
and say, OK, now I can do it. You hear what what he says he
-
would do. You agree to it.
-
You begin the process of acting as if it's done, and then you
-
get All of y'all are doing this now as employees anyway.
-
You know, oh, I make this much. No.
-
You work every day for free because they pay you later say
-
Amen. Anyway, the world functions in
-
this kind of faith. OK, right.
-
So the the fact of the matter is the 11th hour guy, the that
-
worked one hour, he was under the trial of doing what was
-
asked. Then when the day ended, he said
-
line them up. Give me the guy that came in
-
last first and he gave him the same wage, which means he was
-
able to acquire a denarius faster than the one.
-
It took him 12 hours to get the same amount.
-
Now the one who had 12 hours, what happened to him?
-
He got a little upset about it. I cannot believe that you have
-
paid that person the same wage as me and I was out here all day
-
sweating, right? And what did the master say?
-
So are you jealous of my generosity because I've not
-
cheated you? I gave you what I my word said I
-
would give you. You agreed to this, so why are
-
you upset that I'm giving the same measure just because they
-
went under the trial too? So my point is, is that you can
-
mature quickly, but it will not be without opposition.
-
To what you're believing, for you're going to have to face
-
that, and the church is not. Failing you, nor is God, is.
-
If you want something to take place and it's not happening on
-
your time frame, that's called faith and you embrace.
-
Oh, I got this test up. Oh, I'll pass this thing.
-
I'm not going to waver. I'm going to stand right here.
-
My God's going to provide. I'm not going to let this thing
-
go. You know.
-
It's going to come to pass, bro. And then you.
-
Stay with it. You deal with all the emotions
-
and you stay with the word. Come on.
-
Are y'all hearing me? Yeah, that's good.
-
Preaching pastor. All right, so they this is the
-
part I love the most in this particular prophecy.
-
And they shall go forth to speak in the name of the Lord because
-
they understood the principles of faith.
-
They'll understand here it is the principles of the Kingdom,
-
and they'll understand the laws of God and they'll operate
-
minister in that area and nothing will be hidden them.
-
So when you get a foundation of faith and then you begin to keep
-
tapping into the Kingdom and the laws of God are in essence, that
-
just means whatever God says. That's law, meaning he's legally
-
bound to it. And if you'll minister in those,
-
nothing will be hid from you, he went on to say in that
-
particular night. And I do believe it actually
-
applies here today. And though there were some who
-
stand here now and have operated in a measure in those areas and
-
times past, and because they've let these things slip, they
-
themselves in ministry and in life have slipped.
-
We've been preaching the Kingdom since 2009, and I know some
-
people are slipping. They're slipping.
-
Why? Because they didn't give earnest
-
heed. In fact, there were some
-
testimonies concerning the 21 days of prayer and fasting, and
-
this one, one testimony I thought was extremely powerful.
-
They said I realized that I wasn't the person I was two
-
years ago, and I'm just happy that I'm back to being that
-
person. Come on, come on.
-
Because life gets busy and the enemy is very subtle at trying
-
to get you off course. Wow, is that what time it is?
-
Glory. To God.
-
So in these twenty you got examined.
-
Where are you at? Can you look?
-
Back in your past and see a person who was more fervent for
-
the Lord, dedicated, passionate. And if you could and can, then
-
you're like, man, I I got at least get back there.
-
And here's what he went on, Sidney says.
-
And they shall be restored. God wants to restore you.
-
That's all he wants to do. He only wants you at your best.
-
Amen. He said.
-
Yeah, even they shall even be restored this night.
-
Why? Because how fast is it?
-
How fast does it take to repent? Come on now, y'all, help me out.
-
I'm not here to lecture you. I'm here to bring impartation.
-
And we participate together in what the Holy Ghost is saying
-
and moving in our midst. How fast when you were standing
-
at the door of the cross in your guilt, shame all your sin and
-
heavy burdens. Depressed.
-
I mean, just like life ain't even worth living.
-
And you said, Jesus, I believe that you came and died and rose
-
again. I call you Lord.
-
I confess my sin. I I repent of my I don't even
-
know all I did. I'm just forgive me of all that
-
stuff. I thank you that you do.
-
I call you Lord. And he snatches.
-
You into the Kingdom and how did you feel when you got through
-
the door? You like then you happy, light
-
free, glowing, smiling. I mean, it was like, bam, done.
-
Then believers starting to slip and they still look like, ER,
-
you doing all right? Yeah, praise the Lord, you know,
-
look, God can restore all things.
-
I know, like you have more guilt because you didn't do it right
-
on the other side. I mean, the Lord knows you can
-
mess up on this side. He knows that you can draw away
-
from him on this side. He knows some of you trying to
-
bust back the down the door and go back to the other side.
-
But in forgiveness, it's like you've never done it and you
-
know if. He hadn't holding the world in
-
their sin, don't you know, as a child of God, when you ask for
-
forgiveness, he's like, I'm glad you did that.
-
Cause man, there was really no reason for you to ever be in
-
that position. I'm just glad we got here.
-
Now let's go on, I said. Let's go on.
-
And he's hugging and kissing all over you and excited about you
-
and giving you your purpose and destiny.
-
And let's keep this thing going, because the gifts and callings
-
of God are without repentance. This is your destiny anyway.
-
I just want you to get to it. So.
-
How fast can it be, even this night?
-
Then he goes on and says, And the manifestation shall come,
-
and the glory of the Lord shall rest upon it, and the rest upon
-
thee and his glory shall be seen around about the cloud of God
-
which will come and fill the house.
-
And yeah, it seems as though the whole building is filled with
-
smoke. Because, you see, the glory of
-
God shall be a manifestation, and great great shall be the
-
noise thereof. And praise and adoration shall
-
go up from his people, and it shall be a noise abroad.
-
And men from afar shall hear it, and men from afar shall hear of
-
it, and men from afar shall come to behold it.
-
For the Lord shall be I love, this shall be a manifestation in
-
those days in all ways that he has ever manifested himself,
-
both in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.
-
You know, he's done some pretty amazing things in the Old
-
Covenant. Plus, though the multiplying of
-
the Spirit and the power of God in these days, man, this thing
-
just gets me excited, He said. For men, as men grow more wicked
-
and more wicked, and as Satan, because he knows his time is
-
short and all his cohorts and evil spirits go about as never
-
before to devour, so the power of God, the glory of God, shall
-
be increased and shall be multiplied.
-
It will flow. Come on, we flow it, I said, we
-
flow it. Are we flowing?
-
We flow, he said. It will flow like a mighty
-
river. Flow like a mighty river.
-
Yeah, the spirit of God will flow like a mighty river.
-
And many, not only hundreds, not only thousand, but millions,
-
will be swept into the flow of that river.
-
And and shall flow forth in praise and glory for the glory.
-
For the glory of the Lord is in manifestation.
-
The glory of the Lord will be seen of the face of the Saints.
-
The glory of God shall shine forth until men will walk into a
-
place of business and people will fall on their knees and cry
-
out to God. Though be said, nothing come on
-
that is so good. And women will walk into a place
-
of business, and people will fall on their knees and cry out
-
to God, though she opened not her mouth.
-
For the glory of God will shine through.
-
Yeah, the glory of God will shine through.
-
Yeah, the glory of God will shine through.
-
For the manifestation of His power and the manifestation of
-
His glory is is here. It is reserved unto this hour.
-
I said, there's an oil reserve. I said there's an oil reserve.
-
Let me finish it, though a couple more paragraphs.
-
And if it could be told, if it could be told in a way that you
-
can see it even with the eyes of your spirit.
-
If it could be displayed at the this moment before you, a
-
tangible form that you could see with your physical eye, it would
-
be very difficult for you to believe that which will shortly
-
come to pass. It would be very difficult for
-
you to accept it. But as you walk with the Lord,
-
here's the key. You should write these down.
-
But as you number one, walk with the Lord, #2, as you prepare
-
your heart, #3 as you feed upon the word #4, as you listen to
-
what the Spirit of God says, your heart shall be prepared and
-
your mind will be changed until you flow with the supernatural
-
as naturally as a bird flies through the air.
-
And you'll flow in the supernatural as naturally as a
-
fish will swim in the water. You'll flow in the
-
supernaturally, as naturally as you breathe the very air.
-
You will not be conscious of your faith.
-
You'll not be conscious of what's going on around you, but
-
rather you'll be conscious of the flow of the Spirit.
-
And he will manifest himself and will accomplish that which he
-
desires for you. See, these are the last days.
-
Whoo, ma, ma, ma, And this is the end time.
-
And what is done must be done quickly, and it will be done.
-
And the hearts of many will be calls to rejoice.
-
So rejoice, rejoice, Be glad. And praise the Lord and prepare
-
your hearts, and let him prepare you for that which he has
-
prepared for you. So walk in it.
-
You shall walk in it. You shall run, you shall fly.
-
Literally spiritually speaking, you shall enjoy the fullness.
-
Come on, say fullness. Come on, say fullness.
-
Fullness of what? Of that which is provided for
-
you. In fact, the Bible talks about
-
us. The the the fivefold ministry is
-
to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry right until we
-
all grow into maturity so that the body bringing all of.
-
Their supply being jointed and fitted so that the full until
-
and we do this till the fullness of Christ.
-
So the church is the next greatest move on the planet in
-
its maturity when we're flowing in unity and oneness.
-
But you understand this happens because of the glory of God, and
-
the glory of God comes from the oil.
-
So let me throw out a couple of scriptures at you.
-
Haggai chapter 2 The Prophet verse 9 says this the latter
Haggai 2 chapter mention
-
glory. Come on, say the latter glory.
-
Haggai chapter 2, verse nine. He says this for the latter
Haggai 2 chapter mention
-
glory of this house will be greater than the former.
-
Says the Lord of hoes. Who's saying this?
-
God's saying this. And in this place I will give
-
peace, declares the Lord. Now keep this scripture up for a
-
second. Isaiah 96 says this.
-
A child will be born, a son will be given.
-
What's his name? And the government shall rest on
-
his shoulders. Right?
-
Then Verse 7 says there'll be no end to the increase of his
-
government. So the church is more about the
-
government of God. We're an embassy where all the
-
ambassadors come together. And so as a result of that, you
-
understand, the Kingdom will have no end.
-
He'll set up his throne on the throne of David.
-
He's he'll bring, there'll be no increase of his government or of
-
peace, in fact the angels when he was born.
-
Sang the song Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men.
-
Right. So peace showed up.
-
Why? Because somebody greater than
-
Solomon showed up. Now the latter glory of this
-
house will be greater than the former.
-
And what they were looking at was a a particular temple that
-
was rebuilt. If you go through Haggai you
-
realize that they have finally you know come out of Babylon and
-
they're back in Jerusalem and he's basically saying listen you
-
in your. House, But you neglect in my
-
house. Mine's sitting in ruins and you
-
building your house, he said. You're giving, you're not
-
getting, you got, you're sowing and you got a bag full of holes,
-
he said. Don't you realize that if you
-
would put First things first, so the reason why you having issues
-
agriculturally is because of the way you're living you're?
-
Holding it up. You're keeping the rain from
-
coming and keeping the dew from showing up.
-
But they repented. Then they got excited about
-
building the house. Now, he said, when you look at
-
this house, how many you remember what Solomon built?
-
Because what they rebuilt was nothing on what Solomon built
-
that temple. And again, we're talking about
-
the temple. What was the temple of God?
-
It started as a Tabernacle. Then it went on to Solomon, who
-
built this massive, awesome gold late.
-
I mean if. People saw what that temple
-
looked like. It was so extravagant.
-
I mean the Tabernacle was really extravagant as well.
-
But I'm talking about this temple was amazing and when when
-
he dedicated it because it was to house the presence and spirit
-
of God, they put the ark of the covenant in there, Remember and
-
memory did the sacrifices and and and when God came down, when
-
God came upon the temple, it says the glory showed up and and
-
his train 'cause that's what's on King's robes.
-
The train filled the temple man the train filled the and the
-
priests were they couldn't even stand up because of how much
-
weight of the glory of God they were on their faces before the
-
king in his presence. And he says now the latter glory
-
of this. House.
-
We'll be what? We'll be what we'll be what
-
greater than the former? Will you understand?
-
Where did this come from? Matthew 516 says, Let your light
-
shine before men. The virgins had a light shining
-
right in such a way that you may see your good works and glorify
-
your Father in heaven. Look what it says in Hebrews
-
189. So again, God wants a light to
-
shine forth. Well, was someone sent to the
-
planet where his light shine forth in the darkness?
-
OK, he says, But of the Son, he says, Your throne Thrones are in
-
kingdoms, not religion. Our oh God is forever and ever.
-
And the righteous scepter scepter that's in the King's
-
hand is the scepter of his Kingdom.
-
And you have love, righteousness and hated lawlessness.
-
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you.
-
Are you anointed? He anointed him with the oil of
-
gladness. Above your campaign there was
-
and that last verse, verse nine, that starts with you have been,
-
have loved. That is a direct quote from the
-
Psalm Psalm 45. There was a time that that song
-
came out of someone who's coming.
-
In essence, that Psalm says there's some oil being reserved
-
for somebody. Oh, y'all know there's an oil
-
reserved for somebody for a house that's coming with a
-
greater glory. Oh, come on, yo.
-
I mean, there's somebody showing up that will put to shame.
-
Probably not a good word in comparison, not even comparable.
-
The former house and its glory, with the presence of God coming
-
in that all of a sudden this latter glory is going to
-
manifest, he goes on to say. In Psalms 9210.
-
He says. But you have exalted my horn
-
like that of a wild Oz. I have been anointed with what?
-
Fresh oil? Who are we Speaking of here?
-
Well, Jesus, I'll let you know who he's Speaking of.
-
Look in Luke chapter 4, verse 18, he said For the Spirit of
-
the Lord is what upon me the Holy Ghost is oil to us.
-
He said because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the
-
poor, he has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and
-
recovery of sight to the blind to set free those who are
-
oppressed. So Jesus is anointed of God.
-
He is the latter glory expression.
-
But wait, there's Because he does his purpose and assignment.
-
Because Adam ate the fruit that God said don't eat.
-
Because if you don't eat you can live forever.
-
This is just a test. Just let me know you love me
-
because if you love me, you'll do what I say.
-
Because my word's life. But when he rebelled and ate the
-
fruit, he handed his dominion over to the devil.
-
And the Lord's like, well, I'll have to come get it myself.
-
But in order for me to get it myself, I'm going to have to
-
come as a man because I've already given dominion to man.
-
Genesis 126 he said, Let us make man in our image according to
-
our likeness, and let them have dominion.
-
This is why people outside the Kingdom are Dom trying to
-
dominate each other, you know, they try to rule over each
-
other. You got managers that
-
manipulating and against their employees and all this.
-
So why they're always wrestling for power?
-
Because that's how their father of the devil.
-
Functions. Why They want supremacy.
-
Businesses buy out businesses all it's just, it's like why I
-
want supremacy. Why?
-
Because God initially put this in man in the nature of God and
-
noticed, he said. Let them have dominion over the
-
fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over all the cattle,
-
over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, over all
-
the earth, but not over other. Humans we.
-
Were never supposed to be over each other because God was over
-
us all. And I don't have to be over you
-
because we're equals. Come on, stand up.
-
We're equals. Because in the body of Christ,
-
he says, I don't look at the outward appearance, I look at
-
the come on you listening to me. So in essence, when God sees us,
-
he sees us in Christ, and he has a plan from God.
-
I have a plan from God and we are equally able to hear God and
-
do that, that when we stand before the Lord, he'll look at
-
us as sons and say well done and he'll be pleased with us both
-
equally, even though our suits look different.
-
But we're family because our bloodline's the same.
-
We have the same father. I mean you only way you in
-
racism is getting the Kingdom. Because in the Kingdom there's
-
every tongue, every tribe, every nation.
-
It's all there. It was out of him.
-
Adam, come on. Hallelujah.
-
I mean, we have the answer to all world's problems, but we are
-
the answer to all of world's problems.
-
There's nothing going on today that we cannot give them an
-
answer because what they want, we possess, But we have to walk
-
in it with power. Jesus came down here and walked
-
in the power of the Spirit. He was anointed, He was the
-
light. He let his light shine.
-
And he had an oil reserve. He was always pulling on the
-
Holy Ghost, pulling on a reserve, spending time in
-
prayer, getting his download of extra oil.
-
So when I go in to have to deal with the devil, deal with
-
sickness and disease, deal with anything I got to deal with,
-
deal with the religious, I got me the oil I'm got my my life
-
shining with. But I also have a reserve
-
because there was a time that it was reserved for this person to
-
have fresh oil. But here's the thing.
-
He fulfills his purpose. He became, becomes the price of
-
redemption for us what we could not do ourselves.
-
Christ stood. In the Gap for Us paid that
-
price laid down his life for us. So that then when he was raised
-
up, put his blood, which is a payment of our debt on the mercy
-
seat in heaven. Then he says all who want to
-
receive this debt cancellation power and come into the Kingdom,
-
all you have to do is acknowledge that I'm Lord.
-
And when we do that, we come over into the Kingdom.
-
But when we come over into the Kingdom, we don't come over in
-
the Kingdom, just as ourselves. We come over as a new person.
-
We think the same, yes. That's why the Holy Ghost comes
-
in and says we going to change your thinking.
-
Because you ain't thinking like a king, you thinking like a
-
pauper. That's why we were saying you
-
were a beggar, you begging for everything.
-
And listen, everyone's begging, even those who have money,
-
because they're begging for respect.
-
They're begging for the world to acknowledge their
-
accomplishments. They're still begging.
-
They cannot let go of this insatiable appetite because
-
they're separated from God. But we're royalty and our dad's
-
the king. He owns the planet anyway.
-
I said he owns the planet anyway.
-
Amen. So as a result of this, when we
-
come into the Kingdom of God, he also look at John first.
-
John 220. It says this.
-
But you have an anointing from the Holy One.
-
And you all know jump down to verse 27.
-
As for you, the anointing which you received from him abides in
-
you. Are you hearing me?
-
It abides in you. So again we have an anointing.
-
So God says listen, I am the latter glory.
-
But I'm not all of it. I am the head.
-
The what verse is it says it's Psalms 1. 130 Where about the
-
old? 133 That he took the oil and he
-
put it on the head of Aaron. Oh gosh, Aaron is the high
-
priest. Jesus is the high priest people.
-
They started with the anointing oil.
-
It went in his head, it came down his beard, and it began to
-
flow down his body. So Jesus is like, I am the start
-
of the latter glory. But it's not just for the head.
-
It's going to get to the body. Who is the body of Christ?
-
We're the body of Christ. We are the possessors of a
-
latter glory, a reserve of oil. Oh my gosh, we are all reserved
-
for the last days. And he knew.
-
I am the beginning of the latter glory.
-
But I know as the old listen, it takes time for the oil that hits
-
the head and runs down the beard to get down into the shoulders,
-
all the way down the garment, even when it starts to get in
-
the body. That's called the former rank On
-
the day of Pentecost. It started to seep down in the
-
body and we saw some miraculous things from Saints just speaking
-
in the name of Jesus. But he says it ain't done yet.
-
This thing's been working for a couple thousand years, people.
-
It's getting on down, it's dropping down around the knees.
-
It's coming down around there, the calves going to get to the
-
ankles. Don't you know?
-
When it finally gets to the bottom of our feet, the trumpets
-
going to blow. Right.
-
This oil is amazing. And let me give you some
-
properties of oil. Oil lubricates because of that.
-
It eliminates friction and stress.
-
If you're a believer and you're full of stress, you need your
-
oil reserve. No true believer should be a
-
complainer or a whiner because oil eliminates friction.
-
Well, I just can't be around them.
-
You need some oil. Well, I wish they'd change.
-
No, what you need is some oil. Because can I just let you in on
-
a little secret? You need to change too.
-
I mean, we. All got to change.
-
All of us are changing in our mind, realm and how we interact
-
with one another because we're all learning how to yield to the
-
Holy Spirit on the inside. Of us.
-
And when we just yield to the oil, then you know what?
-
What was bothering me about you that don't bother me.
-
It just don't bother me because I got oil.
-
It eliminates friction and stress.
-
You know what else oil does? Because it it lubricates.
-
It keeps things from sticking. Some people, I've heard,
-
Christian, I'm just, I just feel like I'm stuck.
-
You need some oil. You need some oil.
-
That's what you need. Now some of you need some oil
-
that is like super because I am doing a remodel in the bathroom
-
as you know. And so I my wife decided she
-
wanted to change all the stuff in the shower to be black,
-
silver, black. OK, shower, not a problem.
-
The shower head, the water thing had to do some modifications.
-
Can I just say that? Because technically there wasn't
-
the exact piece, but you can't tell can I just?
-
I mean, it worked. I just had to do a little
-
modification. OK?
-
It's behind the walls. You'll never know.
-
The spout. OK, It was very specific by
-
design. I bought one.
-
It wasn't universal, as you suppose.
-
So I found another one. It's not metal, it's plastic.
-
And it was silver. But I.
-
Painted it. The stuff that he hears to play.
-
It's temporary. OK, don't judge me about this.
-
I will find a metal part from Delta and get the right part.
-
But Pastor Darrell will never know when he stays at my house
-
next week be like, wow, this thing's amazing.
-
But then there's the tub drain. You know what's on the bottom
-
anyway? Well, I was like, I know what
-
unscrews. Well, let me.
-
Go. There's one others the before.
-
That is the little thing that keeps you from flowing the water
-
all into your bathroom. That's a safety valve for when
-
y'all put your kids in there and you leave the water running.
-
You get busy and next thing you know, your kids are drowning.
-
In your whole bathroom, right. But it helps you.
-
All right, Anywho, then we get you to drain.
-
Well, I'm like, man, there's a way to do this.
-
I know. So thank God for YouTube, Right?
-
YouTube gets you in trouble, though.
-
Just let you know. I got in YouTube and there was a
-
don't buy the right tool way of doing it, right.
-
So you take this pair of pliers, you throw it down in there and
-
he take another pair and you get you some and you turn it.
-
It bent all my pliers. They couldn't hang.
-
They were just like that's what they did.
-
They just like. They crumbled under the
-
pressure, baby. They were like, we stuck.
-
I got some oil. WD40 actually sprayed that thing
-
in there just hoping I'm I'm believing it.
-
Seeping in. Did it like, I mean, I dusted in
-
for an hour or so. I realized, I mean I'm like got
-
a cramp right there, right. Then all of a sudden because
-
it's 4, you know, it looks like a cross down there.
-
Two of them started to get the wave and when they start break
-
dancing on the inside. So I'm like I'm getting the
-
right tool to get this. So came to service.
-
I did prayer because we had prayer.
-
Ran over to Lowe's, got the right thing, put it in.
-
Then I got, you know, a big screwdriver.
-
That didn't work because still one budget.
-
So then I got another tool that I put another wrench on because
-
I need to get out. I need to get out here.
-
I need what we call leverage. Yeah, so.
-
Here we go. And I'm feeling it starting to
-
give. And it gave.
-
The four prongs broke right off. Yeah, I hear on YouTube they
-
have a way of extracting this without the prongs.
-
I haven't even looked at it yet. At this point I'm probably going
-
to. Defer to some.
-
Professionals that I happen to know are in the building right
-
now. I'm going to phone a friend.
-
They're going to wish that I had called them earlier, but I'm
-
going to look them in the face and say, bro, you're not
-
stronger than me and you would not have gotten it to break
-
without breaking. So here we are.
-
We're at this place. So what am I going to do with a
-
silver? You Dang right.
-
I'm painting it. I'm painting it.
-
I'm going to paint it until I get.
-
Somebody out there and we can take the thing out and put the
-
new little black one with the little pop up, pop up, pop it
-
in, pop it up. And it'd be all cool.
-
Until then, Pastor Joe. Never know that it wasn't Black
-
and intentional, Period. Are y'all hearing me.
-
Well, I tell you all that because oil keeps things from
-
sticking. I just don't have.
-
I'm glad that the Holy Ghost is an oil that can't get anything
-
unstuck. There's nothing you're stuck in
-
that the Holy Ghost cannot free. You.
-
Because my human power is not enough.
-
Now listen, you get enough tool and wisdom.
-
There's people. This thing that I'm dealing with
-
right now has been conquered and that's how the Bible says you
-
are not in any temptation that has not common to man.
-
But the Lord has already delivered another brother in
-
this issue. There's a way of escape.
-
Make no doubt about it. There's enough oil to conquer
-
your your issue. All right, OK, you know what
-
else oil does? It gets rid of squeaking.
-
Gets rid of squeaking. Right.
-
So gossip's not a thing of the church because oil gets rid of
-
it. You want to know what squeaking
-
sounds like in church? It's called gossip, all right,
-
but it gets rid of it because you want gossip, say Hallelujah.
-
The oil is the answer to everything.
-
You know what else it does? It causes things to fit together
-
easily, to slide into place. Here it is without resistance.
-
Amen, 'cause this, this church is going to be a Weld oiled
-
'cause it's been reserved for us.
-
I said it's been reserved for us.
-
And here's the thing. The harder it's working, the
-
more it has to stay lubricated. And the Lord knows it's going to
-
be really dark at the end. And the church is going to have
-
quite the job. But that's all right.
-
I'll keep it highly lubricated. Hallelujah.
-
I'll keep it highly lubricated. Are you hearing me?
-
It keeps things here from becoming fatigued and wearing
-
out. I do not understand it.
-
When churches talk about burnout, they need oil because
-
oil will keep things from becoming fatigued and wearing
-
out. People like pastor, how can you
-
run like that? I mean, I can talk to some other
-
ministers that I know run even more than me, right?
-
And I know it. The answer is it's the oil.
-
It's the oil. It's the oil.
-
The oil is doing a couple things.
-
That's keeping the word fresh in me, and it's keeping me fresh,
-
keeping me full of joy, keeping me full of the Holy Spirit,
-
keeping me full of power. And because of that, I'm not
-
burning out. I don't burn out, I don't get
-
fatigued and if I start to feel fatigued I know exactly what to
-
do. 2 things I do. I read the Word and then pray in
-
the Spirit, and it fixes it every.
-
Time. Every time.
-
I don't let myself get to total frustration.
-
OK, y'all hearing what I'm saying.
-
All right, let's go on. You know what else it does?
-
It provides energy, it improves performance and produces power.
-
So what oil does? Remember I said it was highly
-
flammable, but another thing it does, it brings provision.
-
Second Corinthians 4-7 and nine says this, but we.
-
Have this. I'm closing down now.
-
Got a couple more scripture. We're done.
-
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the
-
surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not of
-
ourselves. Come on, 'cause we have all we
-
are afflicted in every way but not, oh, you, perplexed but not
-
persecuted, but not struck down but not destroyed.
-
Why, 'cause we got so much oil? It doesn't matter.
-
In fact, when they bowled John in oil, he stayed alive.
-
And they said we can't kill the guy, Put him on an island.
-
Are you hearing me? Because the oil of his, the
-
purpose of his life was not done.
-
The oil was there. He was afflicted but not
-
crushed, perplexed but not despairing.
-
He was persecuted but not forsaken.
-
He was struck down, but definitely was not destroyed.
-
And we have that because we have a treasure in earthen vessels.
-
What is it that we have? Look what it says in First
-
Corinthians. First Corinthians?
-
Come on, chapter 3, verse 16, he says.
-
And do you not know that you are the the what?
-
What are you? Come on, What are you?
-
Are you the latter house? Are you the latter glory, You
-
are that you looking at this temple right here?
-
This thing you know is nothing compared to the latter.
-
Glory of the house to come. We are the temple of God and
-
that the Spirit of God dwells in you.
-
Wow. We have the third person of the
-
godhead and I'll kind of close without us going to it.
-
You can write it down. But in Second Kings chapter 4
2 Kings 4 chapter mention
-
verses one through 7, there was a widow woman whose prophet
-
husband passed away. He was in debt and in had debt.
-
And because of that debt the debtors came because he died and
-
said we're going to take your boys and we are going to make
-
them pay your father's debt. We're putting them in prison,
-
which means now she has lost all of her ability to bring in a
-
resource, taking the sons, because women then were not like
-
women in the United States of America.
-
She's going to be reduced to begging.
-
She comes to the prophet and says, this is where at.
-
And the prophet says to the widows and he says, what do you
-
have? What do you?
-
Have, she says. I don't have nothing.
-
I just, I do have a little bit of say that again.
-
I have a little bit of, I have a little bit of oil.
-
He said, oh, well, that's all you need.
-
Now let me tell you what you going to do.
-
What you going to do is you going to go talk to your
-
neighbors and you go find you some vessels, they're earthen
-
vessels. I want you to get that.
-
I mean, not just a little, but not just a little.
-
I want you to feel that they take a bunch of them, get a
-
whole bunch of them, girl, and you go into the house with your
-
boys and you pile it on the House and you shut the door.
-
And when you shut that door, I want you to take that little bit
-
of oil you have and you start pouring.
-
Put it into the first vessel. This is an analogy.
-
We have a treasure in earth and vessels.
-
Let me tell you, there is enough of supply of the Holy Ghost, who
-
is eternal, to be able to pour out the whole of gladness.
-
You can just say pour it out. In fact, Psalms 23 says, you
-
prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy.
-
You anoint my head with all my cup runs over.
-
We're the church. We can live in the grossest,
-
darkest days. And all we got to do is open up
-
our spirit and say, pour out the oil, let it overflow, let this
-
vessel. And you know what?
-
I'll get around that vessel, on that vessel, on that vessel, on
-
that vessel, and not just a few. And I'll pour into you and pour
-
into you and pour into you and pour into you and pour into you,
-
till we all get so full that there's nothing in the world
-
that we can't pay. Layoff and rest with the rest.
-
So there's all in the house and the question is, are you
-
partaking it? Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Because I'm telling you, when
-
someone that's not in the Kingdom gets introduced to the
-
Holy Spirit after they get born again, wow, wow.
-
We have to acknowledge we have God in US and at this point,
-
greater is he that's in me and he's in the world.
-
We have an oil reserve for such an hour as this.
-
What can man do to me? Right?
-
We are overcomers because we have an oil reserve that the
-
world didn't even know about, didn't even know about.
-
Do you know that oil reserve was able to take both Moses and
-
Jesus through 40 days of fasting, no food at all, and
-
sustain them? I'm telling you, it's powerful.
-
And again, at Anchorpate Church, we're not here because the
-
Bible's not here to answer your question, Where do I go when I
-
die? Because that's a religious
-
statement, because all religions ask that and they're all trying
-
to answer that question by how they live.
-
But God says I'm not offering a ticket out, I'm trying to come
-
to you. Because at the end of the day.
-
Sure, if you know Jesus as your Lord and you pass away and your
-
spirit leaves your body, you're going to be present with him,
-
and currently he is in heaven, and you'll be there too.
-
But it wasn't about you going there.
-
It was about him coming to you, God living in you now, you
-
becoming a child of God today. Or you can say, my Father, who
-
art in heaven, hallowed be your name.
-
Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in
-
heaven. You are in me.
-
I am the temple of the Holy Ghost.
-
I have a direct connection with the realm of heaven right now
-
and its resources, because I have its supply.
-
It was about you becoming a child of God now, of which he
-
will never leave you as an orphan.
-
He did not get you born again so that the devil can take care of
-
you on the earth. Or the world.
-
He had. He wants you to be born again so
-
that he can personally show you your future, your purpose, why
-
you exist. And he will talk to you every
-
day. And there's many in this room
-
today that I could come around your life.
-
My life's totally different. The cause of my relationship
-
with God who came to me, He came to me and he lives in me.
-
And I hear his voice and he talks to me daily, and he
-
provides for me. He's healed my body.
-
He delivers me out of all my trouble.
-
Do I have trouble? Yeah.
-
But I get delivered from it all. God causes my enemy to watch me
-
prosper. When they first do the attack,
-
they think they take me down till all of a sudden I'm on the
-
victory side. And they're wishing they never
-
would have came after me in the 1st place because they're really
-
not coming after me. They're coming after my daddy.
-
The Kingdom's amazing. It is the answer to everything
-
you have. And God is loving.
-
God will not make you serve him. You have to want to.
-
So the truth is, God will let you do whatever you want to do
-
everyone on the planet, because that's what free will is.
-
He's really giving you the free will.
-
That's why he he'll say you can do whatever you want to do.
-
But in the end, I'll hold you accountable to whatever you do
-
because at the end of the day, someone has to have the final
-
say and God is the one who has it because he's the author of
-
words. This is the problem that people
-
have right now and on our planet.
-
They're wrestling their ideal and basically, you know what?
-
I think? So you want me to take your word
-
over his? It's as simple as word.
-
Well, I believe so. You want me to rest my whole
-
life on you being right about this?
-
Because that's really what God's saying if you'll rest your whole
-
life. That I'm right and he is.
-
Because all of us. Who've come into his Kingdom and
-
follow him. We know he is.
-
He is because he's. I am.
-
And he's saying tonight I want you in my Kingdom, but you got
-
to want to come. And I've done everything
-
necessary. I've met every condition in your
-
life so that you can be in my Kingdom.
-
All you have to do is call on my name.
-
That's pretty amazing. So whatever.
-
Head bow and every eye closed, no one's looking around.
-
If you're here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of
-
your life, he is the king of the Kingdom you're wanting.
-
I'm telling you right now, he is, He said.
-
Well, how do I know? You have to believe?
-
But I can tell you this, if you'll believe that Jesus was
-
the substitute. He came as a man to pay the
-
price of everything that you're guilty of.
-
You don't know how it happened, but you just say I'm going to
-
believe that. And you say man, I come to you,
-
I believe you stood for me. And I just ask you to forgive
-
me. And I say you're Lord of my
-
life. The Bible says you'll become a
-
child of God and your spirit will change.
-
And 1st John Work chapter 5 tells us that you'll know you
-
have eternal life. How would you like to leave
-
tonight to know that the eternity you're in is life, it
-
is with God, and that God is now pleased with you and you're in
-
His nature. You can know it, no doubt, Like
-
know it like you know you're breathing right now.
-
