  1. Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

  2. from St. Augustine, FL.

  3. Now enjoy this message. In Matthew chapter 25, starting

    Matthew 25 chapter mention

  4. in verse one, let me read through this particular account.

  5. We'll go all the way to verse 13.

  6. It says in the Kingdom of heaven because the Bible's about a

  7. king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring.

  8. It's not a religious document. We're not in a religion.

  9. We're in a government. It's called the Kingdom.

  10. God's King's dominion, all right, He has a domain.

  11. He owns everything. He created the heavens and the

  12. earth. And man has gotten him religion

  13. because he likes to define God. But when God defines himself,

  14. you'll realize He's the king. Amen.

  15. And he sits on the seat of love. It is his nature.

  16. He is life. When he speaks, he speaks life.

  17. Are you hearing me? And anything contrary to what he

  18. says becomes death. Then it's rebellion.

  19. God doesn't want that to take place because his words bring

  20. life. OK, says in the Kingdom of

  21. heaven will be compared to 10 virgins who took their lamps and

  22. went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish.

  23. Five were prudent, For when the foolish took their lamps, they

  24. took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flask along

  25. with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was

  26. delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.

  27. But at midnight there was a shout.

  28. Behold, the bridegroom come out to meet him.

  29. Then all those virgins rose, trimmed their lamps the fullest

  30. said to the prudent give us some of your oil, for our lamps are

  31. going out. But the prudent answer No, there

  32. will not be enough for us, and you too go instead to the

  33. dealers and buy some for yourself.

  34. And while they were going away to make the purchase, the

  35. bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in, those who

  36. were what red. He went in with him to the

  37. wedding feast, and the door was shut.

  38. Later the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open

  39. up to us. But he answered, Truly, I say to

  40. you, I do not know you. That means I'm not intimately

  41. acquainted with you. Be on alert then, for you do not

  42. know the day nor the hour. Now I'm bringing some things to

  43. our remembrance. In fact, Peter and Paul broke

  44. both in a context of Scripture says to stir you up by way of

  45. reminder. You know it doesn't bother me.

  46. I love to do this. I'm not here to tell you

  47. something you don't know. I'm doing it to stir you up.

  48. Why? Because you need to be reminded.

  49. In fact, the first thing that Jesus said in introducing the

  50. Holy Spirit is that he would bring things to your remembrance

  51. that he said. So the Holy Ghost is his.

  52. The first thing he's doing is to try to bring you.

  53. When I say first, obviously he's got to reveal something outside.

  54. After revelations come, then he wants to keep you in

  55. remembrance. Are you hearing me?

  56. So again, once you're hearing something I know.

  57. Then the Holy Ghost knows you have heard.

  58. So he's going to remind you. Well, I didn't know.

  59. I don't remember. Well, the Holy Ghost does.

  60. I do this when I lose stuff. Lord, you know where this is at.

  61. I know you know. I mean, if I get quiet, he'll

  62. talk to me and he'll tell me exactly where I left the keys

  63. again. Right now, you understand,

  64. Apple's trying to be God. Because now I can just push my

  65. little watch and find my my phone, you know, and it beeps.

  66. And now this new one, man, it gives me like within feet.

  67. I was looking for it today. I hit it and I'm like beep,

  68. beep, beep. I said OK, I don't know, it's

  69. like, where was that at, right? So I started going well because

  70. I have a two-story house. I was getting closer, but I was

  71. on the wrong floor. I was like saying 1210 feet and

  72. I'm like, I don't see. And I hit it again.

  73. And I it's faint and I'm like, well, it's obviously not it not

  74. here. So I'm like, I must have took it

  75. upstairs and sure enough I did. Amen.

  76. But the Holy Ghost knows everything.

  77. Amen. And he will bring things to your

  78. remembrance. In this passage of scripture of

  79. the 10 virgins, we could see that there are two things

  80. operating with oil. Pastor Marcy and I, as we've

  81. been going through prayer and we've all been participating,

  82. You know, there's been a little bit of a conversation about oil.

  83. When she brought it up the other night about you need to do an

  84. oil change. Now, again, that doesn't mean

  85. you change spirits. It's in essence they're saying

  86. that the oil, the reason why you keep be being filled is because

  87. the Holy Spirit does come in and start dealing with impurity.

  88. Let me just say this when you want to say I want to be on fire

  89. for God. If you take it in context to the

  90. Scripture, what you are asking the Holy Spirit to do is to

  91. reveal things wrong in your life.

  92. The fire of God is to burn off. It is not so that you can be

  93. passionate, but we use it as that man.

  94. We need the. Fire of the Holy.

  95. Ghost. Well, good.

  96. Let him come to tell you. Everything that ain't right.

  97. With you, So you can deal with that and burn that off, right?

  98. And people crying out further. I'm like, what else is wrong

  99. with you? I mean, how many firings do we

  100. got to put you through, right? In one sense, anyway, the fire

  101. of the Holy Ghost is the burn off impurities, OK.

  102. And so with that being said, the oil helps push impurities out

  103. because you'll see one of the properties of oil is it's highly

  104. flammable. Are you hearing me?

  105. And it is to do that. So you want to be being filled.

  106. Why? Because the Holy Ghost will come

  107. in and touch this. You'll say, Yes, Sir, I'll deal

  108. with that. Why?

  109. Because it is just making you better.

  110. It's tweaking your performance. OK, so they that the life of God

  111. and the nature of God and the culture of the Kingdom of God

  112. that is in another realm but exists in this realm through us,

  113. can be clearly seen to all the world because the whole planet

  114. is looking for the Kingdom of God.

  115. This is why all nations are in an uproar.

  116. All they want is a better government.

  117. China thinks they're the best government, so they want to take

  118. over. Russia thinks their government's

  119. better than Ukraine, and they want to take over land and they

  120. want to establish dominance. Iran.

  121. Wants to do this is just wanting to be the best nation because

  122. they think their ideals are the best.

  123. When all the that is is just looking for the Kingdom of God,

  124. they're trying to find it among men, OK.

  125. And so in this context of Matthew 25, we see that oil is

  126. in play. For five, they have an oil

  127. crisis. For the others, they have an oil

  128. reserve. Now I've ministered along the

  129. line of the oil crisis. Today.

  130. I want to minister along the line of the oil reserve, OK.

  131. And I want to bring you back to a particular prophecy that

  132. Brother Hagen had years ago concerning what's happening.

  133. Because God will allow men and women of God that are under the

  134. anointing according to the fivefold ministry.

  135. And again, what's the fivefold ministry?

  136. It's just Saints that God has has ordained for a very specific

  137. work within his church and they have a very specific anointing.

  138. You go to the university, you're going to have people in

  139. different positions and based upon that position allows them

  140. to operate with different type of power.

  141. OK, by all rights, they're all a part of the university, but they

  142. all don't function the same. Same thing happens in the

  143. church. OK, in the church, same thing, a

  144. place of business. You know, I could give you many

  145. examples, but in the church there are five full ministry

  146. called the the apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher and evangelist.

  147. And there's a specific type of anointing that God gives those

  148. individuals within those offices so that they can, you know, help

  149. the church and edify it. One is the office of the

  150. prophet. And the prophet has typically

  151. functions within the gifts that they can see things in the

  152. future, OK. And when we say see things in

  153. the future, we're saying see things in the future from God's

  154. perspective. Now, I'll just say this, There

  155. are other spirits that you can see into, but you can't see.

  156. Futuristically familiar spirits only see present and no past

  157. because they've been around. Are you hearing me?

  158. But with God, he has the ability to see because he knows the end

  159. from the beginning or he knows the beginning from the end.

  160. So again, we're all on God's light rewind, so to speak.

  161. He's just like watching it all over again because he saw it

  162. before he even spoke. OK, With that being said, he saw

  163. some things by the Spirit, OK, in the spirit concerning things

  164. in the last days. And although I'm not going to

  165. take the time as I read this to you to plug all the scriptures

  166. within this, in the context that this would take place, he kind

  167. of highlights some himself. But at the end of the day, I

  168. could dissect this completely out and show you that this is a

  169. scriptural context, is what I'm saying.

  170. But he says this. You're right on the verge.

  171. Right on the verge of the greatest move and manifestation

  172. of the spirit of God that this world has ever seen.

  173. Do you believe that? OK, five people believe that.

  174. Do you believe that? That we're on the verge?

  175. Because if you don't believe that, then you won't get it.

  176. Because you only get what you believe.

  177. Jesus said only. Because if you don't believe,

  178. even though it's available, you don't get it.

  179. Because Jesus Christ has died and paid the payment for all

  180. humanity. But not all of humanity gets it,

  181. because they don't all believe. So do you believe?

  182. That we are on the verge of the greatest move of the

  183. manifestation of God. Well, the Scripture says we are

  184. OK, he says. You're right on the edge of it,

  185. like standing on the Creek bank, about to jump in, and if and if

  186. you'll give the more earnest heed unto things which you have

  187. heard not only of things you've heard about faith, and things

  188. you've heard about healing, and things you've heard about the

  189. Holy Spirit, and things you've heard about angels, and things

  190. you've heard about divine visitations.

  191. For remember that it was prophesied of Joel of old, that

  192. in the last day said the Lord, I'll pour out my spirit on all

  193. flesh, and and your young men will see visions, and your old

  194. men will dream dreams, And upon my handmaidens I will pour out

  195. my spirit, and they will prophecy.

  196. So not only will it be that the young men will prophecy, but the

  197. young women will prophecy, and the anointing and the outflow of

  198. the Spirit of God will be great and amazing in those days.

  199. For there will be visitations of angels.

  200. I wonder why the Lord's having us go down that track this year.

  201. Be not afraid, he said, but take heed unto these areas.

  202. For Satan himself has at times come as an Angel of light.

  203. But examine things in light of the Scripture, and walk in the

  204. light of the word of God that keep you from deception.

  205. And sometimes the Angel will give you direction even in your

  206. finance, and even direction to save your lives, as in the case

  207. of the shipwreck of Paul, and direction concerning ministry as

  208. the salvation of Cornelius and his household.

  209. And Philip as the Angel, spoke to him to go down to Gaza, and

  210. the Ethiopian was converted. Those are three separate

  211. scriptures. And so in these days there shall

  212. come a mighty manifestation of the Spirit.

  213. And the work that God intended should be done in these last

  214. days shall be accomplished. They're going to be

  215. accomplished. Now, how many people are going

  216. to be working that? I can't tell you that.

  217. But who's working? God will anoint.

  218. Are you hearing me? He goes on to say.

  219. For the time is short and things must be speeded up and and

  220. you'll learn much faster spiritual things than those of

  221. yesteryear. And you'll develop much faster

  222. and it'll be said of someday virtually matured overnight.

  223. Now let me stop right here, because some of y'all have just

  224. gotten been born again, not too long.

  225. Some of you got saved not too long ago.

  226. Now I have hope for you. Meaning you can grow up fast.

  227. Growing up spiritually has two elements to it and you cannot

  228. bypass them. The first element is the

  229. studying of the word. You have to be a student of the

  230. word. You have to be in the word

  231. sensitive spirit, not taking your ideas into the word, but

  232. saying Lord, reveal to me what your word says and if there's

  233. any thinking I have contrary to that word, I get rid of it.

  234. That's a requirement. The second thing is, is then

  235. tests, trials. Trouble is coming.

  236. You cannot avoid it, but it doesn't matter because you are

  237. the champion when conflict arises, Jesus said.

  238. In this life you're going to have trials and tribulation but

  239. be of what good cheer. So you're not going to reach

  240. maturity outside of some obstacles.

  241. Now here's the cool thing. If the if, if he is saying by

  242. prophetic word, which I would say based upon the scripture of

  243. Jesus, going out to use a the Kingdom of heaven is like a man

  244. who went out to hire people to get in his field, remember.

  245. And he hired some at the first of the day and he says what?

  246. I'll pay you this. They negotiated.

  247. What are you going to pay us? We'll do with denarius.

  248. He said great come. He goes back at 3 hours later.

  249. You need to come work. I'll give you, denarius said.

  250. OK. He went six hours later, You

  251. know, boom. And then the ninth hour and then

  252. the 11th hour. I mean, one hour worth of work.

  253. These guys are just wanting to get in the field somewhere so

  254. they can stay with the harvest. It's not one day work.

  255. This is. He called me into his field

  256. tomorrow. I have a job.

  257. So he said, why you standing around?

  258. Nobody's called as you can come work my field because I thought

  259. I'd already hired enough. You know, I've done, you know,

  260. fours whatever. 5 hirings already at the beginning, 3:00,

  261. Three hours in. Six hours in.

  262. Nine hours in. You're my 5th higher and I

  263. realized I need more people to help this harvest get in.

  264. So when they all go into the harvest field, now the one.

  265. Who worked an hour? Still worked.

  266. Are you hearing what I'm saying? He still worked.

  267. He still had to do whatever they were, you know, harvesting.

  268. I don't know what it is, but he still had to work.

  269. He still. Got under the trial of laboring.

  270. According to what the master had said, if you'll do this, there's

  271. a reward. And so he was believing that

  272. after this hour, I'm going to get something by faith.

  273. Oh, y'all by. Faith.

  274. He was saying if I go in this, guys not going to cheat me, he's

  275. going to give me at least a wage for that hour.

  276. I don't know what, but whatever, I'm glad.

  277. And he's hired me to come tomorrow.

  278. So you understand all these people were working for free.

  279. He didn't pay them ahead of time.

  280. They were expecting it by faith that it would show up by the end

  281. of the day. So they put in all the labor

  282. before they got the reward. This is how faith functions,

  283. people. Again, you don't get it first

  284. and say, OK, now I can do it. You hear what what he says he

  285. would do. You agree to it.

  286. You begin the process of acting as if it's done, and then you

  287. get All of y'all are doing this now as employees anyway.

  288. You know, oh, I make this much. No.

  289. You work every day for free because they pay you later say

  290. Amen. Anyway, the world functions in

  291. this kind of faith. OK, right.

  292. So the the fact of the matter is the 11th hour guy, the that

  293. worked one hour, he was under the trial of doing what was

  294. asked. Then when the day ended, he said

  295. line them up. Give me the guy that came in

  296. last first and he gave him the same wage, which means he was

  297. able to acquire a denarius faster than the one.

  298. It took him 12 hours to get the same amount.

  299. Now the one who had 12 hours, what happened to him?

  300. He got a little upset about it. I cannot believe that you have

  301. paid that person the same wage as me and I was out here all day

  302. sweating, right? And what did the master say?

  303. So are you jealous of my generosity because I've not

  304. cheated you? I gave you what I my word said I

  305. would give you. You agreed to this, so why are

  306. you upset that I'm giving the same measure just because they

  307. went under the trial too? So my point is, is that you can

  308. mature quickly, but it will not be without opposition.

  309. To what you're believing, for you're going to have to face

  310. that, and the church is not. Failing you, nor is God, is.

  311. If you want something to take place and it's not happening on

  312. your time frame, that's called faith and you embrace.

  313. Oh, I got this test up. Oh, I'll pass this thing.

  314. I'm not going to waver. I'm going to stand right here.

  315. My God's going to provide. I'm not going to let this thing

  316. go. You know.

  317. It's going to come to pass, bro. And then you.

  318. Stay with it. You deal with all the emotions

  319. and you stay with the word. Come on.

  320. Are y'all hearing me? Yeah, that's good.

  321. Preaching pastor. All right, so they this is the

  322. part I love the most in this particular prophecy.

  323. And they shall go forth to speak in the name of the Lord because

  324. they understood the principles of faith.

  325. They'll understand here it is the principles of the Kingdom,

  326. and they'll understand the laws of God and they'll operate

  327. minister in that area and nothing will be hidden them.

  328. So when you get a foundation of faith and then you begin to keep

  329. tapping into the Kingdom and the laws of God are in essence, that

  330. just means whatever God says. That's law, meaning he's legally

  331. bound to it. And if you'll minister in those,

  332. nothing will be hid from you, he went on to say in that

  333. particular night. And I do believe it actually

  334. applies here today. And though there were some who

  335. stand here now and have operated in a measure in those areas and

  336. times past, and because they've let these things slip, they

  337. themselves in ministry and in life have slipped.

  338. We've been preaching the Kingdom since 2009, and I know some

  339. people are slipping. They're slipping.

  340. Why? Because they didn't give earnest

  341. heed. In fact, there were some

  342. testimonies concerning the 21 days of prayer and fasting, and

  343. this one, one testimony I thought was extremely powerful.

  344. They said I realized that I wasn't the person I was two

  345. years ago, and I'm just happy that I'm back to being that

  346. person. Come on, come on.

  347. Because life gets busy and the enemy is very subtle at trying

  348. to get you off course. Wow, is that what time it is?

  349. Glory. To God.

  350. So in these twenty you got examined.

  351. Where are you at? Can you look?

  352. Back in your past and see a person who was more fervent for

  353. the Lord, dedicated, passionate. And if you could and can, then

  354. you're like, man, I I got at least get back there.

  355. And here's what he went on, Sidney says.

  356. And they shall be restored. God wants to restore you.

  357. That's all he wants to do. He only wants you at your best.

  358. Amen. He said.

  359. Yeah, even they shall even be restored this night.

  360. Why? Because how fast is it?

  361. How fast does it take to repent? Come on now, y'all, help me out.

  362. I'm not here to lecture you. I'm here to bring impartation.

  363. And we participate together in what the Holy Ghost is saying

  364. and moving in our midst. How fast when you were standing

  365. at the door of the cross in your guilt, shame all your sin and

  366. heavy burdens. Depressed.

  367. I mean, just like life ain't even worth living.

  368. And you said, Jesus, I believe that you came and died and rose

  369. again. I call you Lord.

  370. I confess my sin. I I repent of my I don't even

  371. know all I did. I'm just forgive me of all that

  372. stuff. I thank you that you do.

  373. I call you Lord. And he snatches.

  374. You into the Kingdom and how did you feel when you got through

  375. the door? You like then you happy, light

  376. free, glowing, smiling. I mean, it was like, bam, done.

  377. Then believers starting to slip and they still look like, ER,

  378. you doing all right? Yeah, praise the Lord, you know,

  379. look, God can restore all things.

  380. I know, like you have more guilt because you didn't do it right

  381. on the other side. I mean, the Lord knows you can

  382. mess up on this side. He knows that you can draw away

  383. from him on this side. He knows some of you trying to

  384. bust back the down the door and go back to the other side.

  385. But in forgiveness, it's like you've never done it and you

  386. know if. He hadn't holding the world in

  387. their sin, don't you know, as a child of God, when you ask for

  388. forgiveness, he's like, I'm glad you did that.

  389. Cause man, there was really no reason for you to ever be in

  390. that position. I'm just glad we got here.

  391. Now let's go on, I said. Let's go on.

  392. And he's hugging and kissing all over you and excited about you

  393. and giving you your purpose and destiny.

  394. And let's keep this thing going, because the gifts and callings

  395. of God are without repentance. This is your destiny anyway.

  396. I just want you to get to it. So.

  397. How fast can it be, even this night?

  398. Then he goes on and says, And the manifestation shall come,

  399. and the glory of the Lord shall rest upon it, and the rest upon

  400. thee and his glory shall be seen around about the cloud of God

  401. which will come and fill the house.

  402. And yeah, it seems as though the whole building is filled with

  403. smoke. Because, you see, the glory of

  404. God shall be a manifestation, and great great shall be the

  405. noise thereof. And praise and adoration shall

  406. go up from his people, and it shall be a noise abroad.

  407. And men from afar shall hear it, and men from afar shall hear of

  408. it, and men from afar shall come to behold it.

  409. For the Lord shall be I love, this shall be a manifestation in

  410. those days in all ways that he has ever manifested himself,

  411. both in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.

  412. You know, he's done some pretty amazing things in the Old

  413. Covenant. Plus, though the multiplying of

  414. the Spirit and the power of God in these days, man, this thing

  415. just gets me excited, He said. For men, as men grow more wicked

  416. and more wicked, and as Satan, because he knows his time is

  417. short and all his cohorts and evil spirits go about as never

  418. before to devour, so the power of God, the glory of God, shall

  419. be increased and shall be multiplied.

  420. It will flow. Come on, we flow it, I said, we

  421. flow it. Are we flowing?

  422. We flow, he said. It will flow like a mighty

  423. river. Flow like a mighty river.

  424. Yeah, the spirit of God will flow like a mighty river.

  425. And many, not only hundreds, not only thousand, but millions,

  426. will be swept into the flow of that river.

  427. And and shall flow forth in praise and glory for the glory.

  428. For the glory of the Lord is in manifestation.

  429. The glory of the Lord will be seen of the face of the Saints.

  430. The glory of God shall shine forth until men will walk into a

  431. place of business and people will fall on their knees and cry

  432. out to God. Though be said, nothing come on

  433. that is so good. And women will walk into a place

  434. of business, and people will fall on their knees and cry out

  435. to God, though she opened not her mouth.

  436. For the glory of God will shine through.

  437. Yeah, the glory of God will shine through.

  438. Yeah, the glory of God will shine through.

  439. For the manifestation of His power and the manifestation of

  440. His glory is is here. It is reserved unto this hour.

  441. I said, there's an oil reserve. I said there's an oil reserve.

  442. Let me finish it, though a couple more paragraphs.

  443. And if it could be told, if it could be told in a way that you

  444. can see it even with the eyes of your spirit.

  445. If it could be displayed at the this moment before you, a

  446. tangible form that you could see with your physical eye, it would

  447. be very difficult for you to believe that which will shortly

  448. come to pass. It would be very difficult for

  449. you to accept it. But as you walk with the Lord,

  450. here's the key. You should write these down.

  451. But as you number one, walk with the Lord, #2, as you prepare

  452. your heart, #3 as you feed upon the word #4, as you listen to

  453. what the Spirit of God says, your heart shall be prepared and

  454. your mind will be changed until you flow with the supernatural

  455. as naturally as a bird flies through the air.

  456. And you'll flow in the supernatural as naturally as a

  457. fish will swim in the water. You'll flow in the

  458. supernaturally, as naturally as you breathe the very air.

  459. You will not be conscious of your faith.

  460. You'll not be conscious of what's going on around you, but

  461. rather you'll be conscious of the flow of the Spirit.

  462. And he will manifest himself and will accomplish that which he

  463. desires for you. See, these are the last days.

  464. Whoo, ma, ma, ma, And this is the end time.

  465. And what is done must be done quickly, and it will be done.

  466. And the hearts of many will be calls to rejoice.

  467. So rejoice, rejoice, Be glad. And praise the Lord and prepare

  468. your hearts, and let him prepare you for that which he has

  469. prepared for you. So walk in it.

  470. You shall walk in it. You shall run, you shall fly.

  471. Literally spiritually speaking, you shall enjoy the fullness.

  472. Come on, say fullness. Come on, say fullness.

  473. Fullness of what? Of that which is provided for

  474. you. In fact, the Bible talks about

  475. us. The the the fivefold ministry is

  476. to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry right until we

  477. all grow into maturity so that the body bringing all of.

  478. Their supply being jointed and fitted so that the full until

  479. and we do this till the fullness of Christ.

  480. So the church is the next greatest move on the planet in

  481. its maturity when we're flowing in unity and oneness.

  482. But you understand this happens because of the glory of God, and

  483. the glory of God comes from the oil.

  484. So let me throw out a couple of scriptures at you.

  485. Haggai chapter 2 The Prophet verse 9 says this the latter

    Haggai 2 chapter mention

  486. glory. Come on, say the latter glory.

  487. Haggai chapter 2, verse nine. He says this for the latter

    Haggai 2 chapter mention

  488. glory of this house will be greater than the former.

  489. Says the Lord of hoes. Who's saying this?

  490. God's saying this. And in this place I will give

  491. peace, declares the Lord. Now keep this scripture up for a

  492. second. Isaiah 96 says this.

  493. A child will be born, a son will be given.

  494. What's his name? And the government shall rest on

  495. his shoulders. Right?

  496. Then Verse 7 says there'll be no end to the increase of his

  497. government. So the church is more about the

  498. government of God. We're an embassy where all the

  499. ambassadors come together. And so as a result of that, you

  500. understand, the Kingdom will have no end.

  501. He'll set up his throne on the throne of David.

  502. He's he'll bring, there'll be no increase of his government or of

  503. peace, in fact the angels when he was born.

  504. Sang the song Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men.

  505. Right. So peace showed up.

  506. Why? Because somebody greater than

  507. Solomon showed up. Now the latter glory of this

  508. house will be greater than the former.

  509. And what they were looking at was a a particular temple that

  510. was rebuilt. If you go through Haggai you

  511. realize that they have finally you know come out of Babylon and

  512. they're back in Jerusalem and he's basically saying listen you

  513. in your. House, But you neglect in my

  514. house. Mine's sitting in ruins and you

  515. building your house, he said. You're giving, you're not

  516. getting, you got, you're sowing and you got a bag full of holes,

  517. he said. Don't you realize that if you

  518. would put First things first, so the reason why you having issues

  519. agriculturally is because of the way you're living you're?

  520. Holding it up. You're keeping the rain from

  521. coming and keeping the dew from showing up.

  522. But they repented. Then they got excited about

  523. building the house. Now, he said, when you look at

  524. this house, how many you remember what Solomon built?

  525. Because what they rebuilt was nothing on what Solomon built

  526. that temple. And again, we're talking about

  527. the temple. What was the temple of God?

  528. It started as a Tabernacle. Then it went on to Solomon, who

  529. built this massive, awesome gold late.

  530. I mean if. People saw what that temple

  531. looked like. It was so extravagant.

  532. I mean the Tabernacle was really extravagant as well.

  533. But I'm talking about this temple was amazing and when when

  534. he dedicated it because it was to house the presence and spirit

  535. of God, they put the ark of the covenant in there, Remember and

  536. memory did the sacrifices and and and when God came down, when

  537. God came upon the temple, it says the glory showed up and and

  538. his train 'cause that's what's on King's robes.

  539. The train filled the temple man the train filled the and the

  540. priests were they couldn't even stand up because of how much

  541. weight of the glory of God they were on their faces before the

  542. king in his presence. And he says now the latter glory

  543. of this. House.

  544. We'll be what? We'll be what we'll be what

  545. greater than the former? Will you understand?

  546. Where did this come from? Matthew 516 says, Let your light

  547. shine before men. The virgins had a light shining

  548. right in such a way that you may see your good works and glorify

  549. your Father in heaven. Look what it says in Hebrews

  550. 189. So again, God wants a light to

  551. shine forth. Well, was someone sent to the

  552. planet where his light shine forth in the darkness?

  553. OK, he says, But of the Son, he says, Your throne Thrones are in

  554. kingdoms, not religion. Our oh God is forever and ever.

  555. And the righteous scepter scepter that's in the King's

  556. hand is the scepter of his Kingdom.

  557. And you have love, righteousness and hated lawlessness.

  558. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you.

  559. Are you anointed? He anointed him with the oil of

  560. gladness. Above your campaign there was

  561. and that last verse, verse nine, that starts with you have been,

  562. have loved. That is a direct quote from the

  563. Psalm Psalm 45. There was a time that that song

  564. came out of someone who's coming.

  565. In essence, that Psalm says there's some oil being reserved

  566. for somebody. Oh, y'all know there's an oil

  567. reserved for somebody for a house that's coming with a

  568. greater glory. Oh, come on, yo.

  569. I mean, there's somebody showing up that will put to shame.

  570. Probably not a good word in comparison, not even comparable.

  571. The former house and its glory, with the presence of God coming

  572. in that all of a sudden this latter glory is going to

  573. manifest, he goes on to say. In Psalms 9210.

  574. He says. But you have exalted my horn

  575. like that of a wild Oz. I have been anointed with what?

  576. Fresh oil? Who are we Speaking of here?

  577. Well, Jesus, I'll let you know who he's Speaking of.

  578. Look in Luke chapter 4, verse 18, he said For the Spirit of

    Luke 4:18

  579. the Lord is what upon me the Holy Ghost is oil to us.

  580. He said because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the

  581. poor, he has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and

  582. recovery of sight to the blind to set free those who are

  583. oppressed. So Jesus is anointed of God.

  584. He is the latter glory expression.

  585. But wait, there's Because he does his purpose and assignment.

  586. Because Adam ate the fruit that God said don't eat.

  587. Because if you don't eat you can live forever.

  588. This is just a test. Just let me know you love me

  589. because if you love me, you'll do what I say.

  590. Because my word's life. But when he rebelled and ate the

  591. fruit, he handed his dominion over to the devil.

  592. And the Lord's like, well, I'll have to come get it myself.

  593. But in order for me to get it myself, I'm going to have to

  594. come as a man because I've already given dominion to man.

  595. Genesis 126 he said, Let us make man in our image according to

  596. our likeness, and let them have dominion.

  597. This is why people outside the Kingdom are Dom trying to

  598. dominate each other, you know, they try to rule over each

  599. other. You got managers that

  600. manipulating and against their employees and all this.

  601. So why they're always wrestling for power?

  602. Because that's how their father of the devil.

  603. Functions. Why They want supremacy.

  604. Businesses buy out businesses all it's just, it's like why I

  605. want supremacy. Why?

  606. Because God initially put this in man in the nature of God and

  607. noticed, he said. Let them have dominion over the

  608. fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over all the cattle,

  609. over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, over all

  610. the earth, but not over other. Humans we.

  611. Were never supposed to be over each other because God was over

  612. us all. And I don't have to be over you

  613. because we're equals. Come on, stand up.

  614. We're equals. Because in the body of Christ,

  615. he says, I don't look at the outward appearance, I look at

  616. the come on you listening to me. So in essence, when God sees us,

  617. he sees us in Christ, and he has a plan from God.

  618. I have a plan from God and we are equally able to hear God and

  619. do that, that when we stand before the Lord, he'll look at

  620. us as sons and say well done and he'll be pleased with us both

  621. equally, even though our suits look different.

  622. But we're family because our bloodline's the same.

  623. We have the same father. I mean you only way you in

  624. racism is getting the Kingdom. Because in the Kingdom there's

  625. every tongue, every tribe, every nation.

  626. It's all there. It was out of him.

  627. Adam, come on. Hallelujah.

  628. I mean, we have the answer to all world's problems, but we are

  629. the answer to all of world's problems.

  630. There's nothing going on today that we cannot give them an

  631. answer because what they want, we possess, But we have to walk

  632. in it with power. Jesus came down here and walked

  633. in the power of the Spirit. He was anointed, He was the

  634. light. He let his light shine.

  635. And he had an oil reserve. He was always pulling on the

  636. Holy Ghost, pulling on a reserve, spending time in

  637. prayer, getting his download of extra oil.

  638. So when I go in to have to deal with the devil, deal with

  639. sickness and disease, deal with anything I got to deal with,

  640. deal with the religious, I got me the oil I'm got my my life

  641. shining with. But I also have a reserve

  642. because there was a time that it was reserved for this person to

  643. have fresh oil. But here's the thing.

  644. He fulfills his purpose. He became, becomes the price of

  645. redemption for us what we could not do ourselves.

  646. Christ stood. In the Gap for Us paid that

  647. price laid down his life for us. So that then when he was raised

  648. up, put his blood, which is a payment of our debt on the mercy

  649. seat in heaven. Then he says all who want to

  650. receive this debt cancellation power and come into the Kingdom,

  651. all you have to do is acknowledge that I'm Lord.

  652. And when we do that, we come over into the Kingdom.

  653. But when we come over into the Kingdom, we don't come over in

  654. the Kingdom, just as ourselves. We come over as a new person.

  655. We think the same, yes. That's why the Holy Ghost comes

  656. in and says we going to change your thinking.

  657. Because you ain't thinking like a king, you thinking like a

  658. pauper. That's why we were saying you

  659. were a beggar, you begging for everything.

  660. And listen, everyone's begging, even those who have money,

  661. because they're begging for respect.

  662. They're begging for the world to acknowledge their

  663. accomplishments. They're still begging.

  664. They cannot let go of this insatiable appetite because

  665. they're separated from God. But we're royalty and our dad's

  666. the king. He owns the planet anyway.

  667. I said he owns the planet anyway.

  668. Amen. So as a result of this, when we

  669. come into the Kingdom of God, he also look at John first.

  670. John 220. It says this.

  671. But you have an anointing from the Holy One.

  672. And you all know jump down to verse 27.

  673. As for you, the anointing which you received from him abides in

  674. you. Are you hearing me?

  675. It abides in you. So again we have an anointing.

  676. So God says listen, I am the latter glory.

  677. But I'm not all of it. I am the head.

  678. The what verse is it says it's Psalms 1. 130 Where about the

  679. old? 133 That he took the oil and he

  680. put it on the head of Aaron. Oh gosh, Aaron is the high

  681. priest. Jesus is the high priest people.

  682. They started with the anointing oil.

  683. It went in his head, it came down his beard, and it began to

  684. flow down his body. So Jesus is like, I am the start

  685. of the latter glory. But it's not just for the head.

  686. It's going to get to the body. Who is the body of Christ?

  687. We're the body of Christ. We are the possessors of a

  688. latter glory, a reserve of oil. Oh my gosh, we are all reserved

  689. for the last days. And he knew.

  690. I am the beginning of the latter glory.

  691. But I know as the old listen, it takes time for the oil that hits

  692. the head and runs down the beard to get down into the shoulders,

  693. all the way down the garment, even when it starts to get in

  694. the body. That's called the former rank On

  695. the day of Pentecost. It started to seep down in the

  696. body and we saw some miraculous things from Saints just speaking

  697. in the name of Jesus. But he says it ain't done yet.

  698. This thing's been working for a couple thousand years, people.

  699. It's getting on down, it's dropping down around the knees.

  700. It's coming down around there, the calves going to get to the

  701. ankles. Don't you know?

  702. When it finally gets to the bottom of our feet, the trumpets

  703. going to blow. Right.

  704. This oil is amazing. And let me give you some

  705. properties of oil. Oil lubricates because of that.

  706. It eliminates friction and stress.

  707. If you're a believer and you're full of stress, you need your

  708. oil reserve. No true believer should be a

  709. complainer or a whiner because oil eliminates friction.

  710. Well, I just can't be around them.

  711. You need some oil. Well, I wish they'd change.

  712. No, what you need is some oil. Because can I just let you in on

  713. a little secret? You need to change too.

  714. I mean, we. All got to change.

  715. All of us are changing in our mind, realm and how we interact

  716. with one another because we're all learning how to yield to the

  717. Holy Spirit on the inside. Of us.

  718. And when we just yield to the oil, then you know what?

  719. What was bothering me about you that don't bother me.

  720. It just don't bother me because I got oil.

  721. It eliminates friction and stress.

  722. You know what else oil does? Because it it lubricates.

  723. It keeps things from sticking. Some people, I've heard,

  724. Christian, I'm just, I just feel like I'm stuck.

  725. You need some oil. You need some oil.

  726. That's what you need. Now some of you need some oil

  727. that is like super because I am doing a remodel in the bathroom

  728. as you know. And so I my wife decided she

  729. wanted to change all the stuff in the shower to be black,

  730. silver, black. OK, shower, not a problem.

  731. The shower head, the water thing had to do some modifications.

  732. Can I just say that? Because technically there wasn't

  733. the exact piece, but you can't tell can I just?

  734. I mean, it worked. I just had to do a little

  735. modification. OK?

  736. It's behind the walls. You'll never know.

  737. The spout. OK, It was very specific by

  738. design. I bought one.

  739. It wasn't universal, as you suppose.

  740. So I found another one. It's not metal, it's plastic.

  741. And it was silver. But I.

  742. Painted it. The stuff that he hears to play.

  743. It's temporary. OK, don't judge me about this.

  744. I will find a metal part from Delta and get the right part.

  745. But Pastor Darrell will never know when he stays at my house

  746. next week be like, wow, this thing's amazing.

  747. But then there's the tub drain. You know what's on the bottom

  748. anyway? Well, I was like, I know what

  749. unscrews. Well, let me.

  750. Go. There's one others the before.

  751. That is the little thing that keeps you from flowing the water

  752. all into your bathroom. That's a safety valve for when

  753. y'all put your kids in there and you leave the water running.

  754. You get busy and next thing you know, your kids are drowning.

  755. In your whole bathroom, right. But it helps you.

  756. All right, Anywho, then we get you to drain.

  757. Well, I'm like, man, there's a way to do this.

  758. I know. So thank God for YouTube, Right?

  759. YouTube gets you in trouble, though.

  760. Just let you know. I got in YouTube and there was a

  761. don't buy the right tool way of doing it, right.

  762. So you take this pair of pliers, you throw it down in there and

  763. he take another pair and you get you some and you turn it.

  764. It bent all my pliers. They couldn't hang.

  765. They were just like that's what they did.

  766. They just like. They crumbled under the

  767. pressure, baby. They were like, we stuck.

  768. I got some oil. WD40 actually sprayed that thing

  769. in there just hoping I'm I'm believing it.

  770. Seeping in. Did it like, I mean, I dusted in

  771. for an hour or so. I realized, I mean I'm like got

  772. a cramp right there, right. Then all of a sudden because

  773. it's 4, you know, it looks like a cross down there.

  774. Two of them started to get the wave and when they start break

  775. dancing on the inside. So I'm like I'm getting the

  776. right tool to get this. So came to service.

  777. I did prayer because we had prayer.

  778. Ran over to Lowe's, got the right thing, put it in.

  779. Then I got, you know, a big screwdriver.

  780. That didn't work because still one budget.

  781. So then I got another tool that I put another wrench on because

  782. I need to get out. I need to get out here.

  783. I need what we call leverage. Yeah, so.

  784. Here we go. And I'm feeling it starting to

  785. give. And it gave.

  786. The four prongs broke right off. Yeah, I hear on YouTube they

  787. have a way of extracting this without the prongs.

  788. I haven't even looked at it yet. At this point I'm probably going

  789. to. Defer to some.

  790. Professionals that I happen to know are in the building right

  791. now. I'm going to phone a friend.

  792. They're going to wish that I had called them earlier, but I'm

  793. going to look them in the face and say, bro, you're not

  794. stronger than me and you would not have gotten it to break

  795. without breaking. So here we are.

  796. We're at this place. So what am I going to do with a

  797. silver? You Dang right.

  798. I'm painting it. I'm painting it.

  799. I'm going to paint it until I get.

  800. Somebody out there and we can take the thing out and put the

  801. new little black one with the little pop up, pop up, pop it

  802. in, pop it up. And it'd be all cool.

  803. Until then, Pastor Joe. Never know that it wasn't Black

  804. and intentional, Period. Are y'all hearing me.

  805. Well, I tell you all that because oil keeps things from

  806. sticking. I just don't have.

  807. I'm glad that the Holy Ghost is an oil that can't get anything

  808. unstuck. There's nothing you're stuck in

  809. that the Holy Ghost cannot free. You.

  810. Because my human power is not enough.

  811. Now listen, you get enough tool and wisdom.

  812. There's people. This thing that I'm dealing with

  813. right now has been conquered and that's how the Bible says you

  814. are not in any temptation that has not common to man.

  815. But the Lord has already delivered another brother in

  816. this issue. There's a way of escape.

  817. Make no doubt about it. There's enough oil to conquer

  818. your your issue. All right, OK, you know what

  819. else oil does? It gets rid of squeaking.

  820. Gets rid of squeaking. Right.

  821. So gossip's not a thing of the church because oil gets rid of

  822. it. You want to know what squeaking

  823. sounds like in church? It's called gossip, all right,

  824. but it gets rid of it because you want gossip, say Hallelujah.

  825. The oil is the answer to everything.

  826. You know what else it does? It causes things to fit together

  827. easily, to slide into place. Here it is without resistance.

  828. Amen, 'cause this, this church is going to be a Weld oiled

  829. 'cause it's been reserved for us.

  830. I said it's been reserved for us.

  831. And here's the thing. The harder it's working, the

  832. more it has to stay lubricated. And the Lord knows it's going to

  833. be really dark at the end. And the church is going to have

  834. quite the job. But that's all right.

  835. I'll keep it highly lubricated. Hallelujah.

  836. I'll keep it highly lubricated. Are you hearing me?

  837. It keeps things here from becoming fatigued and wearing

  838. out. I do not understand it.

  839. When churches talk about burnout, they need oil because

  840. oil will keep things from becoming fatigued and wearing

  841. out. People like pastor, how can you

  842. run like that? I mean, I can talk to some other

  843. ministers that I know run even more than me, right?

  844. And I know it. The answer is it's the oil.

  845. It's the oil. It's the oil.

  846. The oil is doing a couple things.

  847. That's keeping the word fresh in me, and it's keeping me fresh,

  848. keeping me full of joy, keeping me full of the Holy Spirit,

  849. keeping me full of power. And because of that, I'm not

  850. burning out. I don't burn out, I don't get

  851. fatigued and if I start to feel fatigued I know exactly what to

  852. do. 2 things I do. I read the Word and then pray in

  853. the Spirit, and it fixes it every.

  854. Time. Every time.

  855. I don't let myself get to total frustration.

  856. OK, y'all hearing what I'm saying.

  857. All right, let's go on. You know what else it does?

  858. It provides energy, it improves performance and produces power.

  859. So what oil does? Remember I said it was highly

  860. flammable, but another thing it does, it brings provision.

  861. Second Corinthians 4-7 and nine says this, but we.

  862. Have this. I'm closing down now.

  863. Got a couple more scripture. We're done.

  864. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the

  865. surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not of

  866. ourselves. Come on, 'cause we have all we

  867. are afflicted in every way but not, oh, you, perplexed but not

  868. persecuted, but not struck down but not destroyed.

  869. Why, 'cause we got so much oil? It doesn't matter.

  870. In fact, when they bowled John in oil, he stayed alive.

  871. And they said we can't kill the guy, Put him on an island.

  872. Are you hearing me? Because the oil of his, the

  873. purpose of his life was not done.

  874. The oil was there. He was afflicted but not

  875. crushed, perplexed but not despairing.

  876. He was persecuted but not forsaken.

  877. He was struck down, but definitely was not destroyed.

  878. And we have that because we have a treasure in earthen vessels.

  879. What is it that we have? Look what it says in First

  880. Corinthians. First Corinthians?

  881. Come on, chapter 3, verse 16, he says.

  882. And do you not know that you are the the what?

  883. What are you? Come on, What are you?

  884. Are you the latter house? Are you the latter glory, You

  885. are that you looking at this temple right here?

  886. This thing you know is nothing compared to the latter.

  887. Glory of the house to come. We are the temple of God and

  888. that the Spirit of God dwells in you.

  889. Wow. We have the third person of the

  890. godhead and I'll kind of close without us going to it.

  891. You can write it down. But in Second Kings chapter 4

    2 Kings 4 chapter mention

  892. verses one through 7, there was a widow woman whose prophet

  893. husband passed away. He was in debt and in had debt.

  894. And because of that debt the debtors came because he died and

  895. said we're going to take your boys and we are going to make

  896. them pay your father's debt. We're putting them in prison,

  897. which means now she has lost all of her ability to bring in a

  898. resource, taking the sons, because women then were not like

  899. women in the United States of America.

  900. She's going to be reduced to begging.

  901. She comes to the prophet and says, this is where at.

  902. And the prophet says to the widows and he says, what do you

  903. have? What do you?

  904. Have, she says. I don't have nothing.

  905. I just, I do have a little bit of say that again.

  906. I have a little bit of, I have a little bit of oil.

  907. He said, oh, well, that's all you need.

  908. Now let me tell you what you going to do.

  909. What you going to do is you going to go talk to your

  910. neighbors and you go find you some vessels, they're earthen

  911. vessels. I want you to get that.

  912. I mean, not just a little, but not just a little.

  913. I want you to feel that they take a bunch of them, get a

  914. whole bunch of them, girl, and you go into the house with your

  915. boys and you pile it on the House and you shut the door.

  916. And when you shut that door, I want you to take that little bit

  917. of oil you have and you start pouring.

  918. Put it into the first vessel. This is an analogy.

  919. We have a treasure in earth and vessels.

  920. Let me tell you, there is enough of supply of the Holy Ghost, who

  921. is eternal, to be able to pour out the whole of gladness.

  922. You can just say pour it out. In fact, Psalms 23 says, you

  923. prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy.

  924. You anoint my head with all my cup runs over.

  925. We're the church. We can live in the grossest,

  926. darkest days. And all we got to do is open up

  927. our spirit and say, pour out the oil, let it overflow, let this

  928. vessel. And you know what?

  929. I'll get around that vessel, on that vessel, on that vessel, on

  930. that vessel, and not just a few. And I'll pour into you and pour

  931. into you and pour into you and pour into you and pour into you,

  932. till we all get so full that there's nothing in the world

  933. that we can't pay. Layoff and rest with the rest.

  934. So there's all in the house and the question is, are you

  935. partaking it? Hallelujah.

  936. Hallelujah. Because I'm telling you, when

  937. someone that's not in the Kingdom gets introduced to the

  938. Holy Spirit after they get born again, wow, wow.

  939. We have to acknowledge we have God in US and at this point,

  940. greater is he that's in me and he's in the world.

  941. We have an oil reserve for such an hour as this.

  942. What can man do to me? Right?

  943. We are overcomers because we have an oil reserve that the

  944. world didn't even know about, didn't even know about.

  945. Do you know that oil reserve was able to take both Moses and

  946. Jesus through 40 days of fasting, no food at all, and

  947. sustain them? I'm telling you, it's powerful.

  948. And again, at Anchorpate Church, we're not here because the

  949. Bible's not here to answer your question, Where do I go when I

  950. die? Because that's a religious

  951. statement, because all religions ask that and they're all trying

  952. to answer that question by how they live.

  953. But God says I'm not offering a ticket out, I'm trying to come

  954. to you. Because at the end of the day.

  955. Sure, if you know Jesus as your Lord and you pass away and your

  956. spirit leaves your body, you're going to be present with him,

  957. and currently he is in heaven, and you'll be there too.

  958. But it wasn't about you going there.

  959. It was about him coming to you, God living in you now, you

  960. becoming a child of God today. Or you can say, my Father, who

  961. art in heaven, hallowed be your name.

  962. Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in

  963. heaven. You are in me.

  964. I am the temple of the Holy Ghost.

  965. I have a direct connection with the realm of heaven right now

  966. and its resources, because I have its supply.

  967. It was about you becoming a child of God now, of which he

  968. will never leave you as an orphan.

  969. He did not get you born again so that the devil can take care of

  970. you on the earth. Or the world.

  971. He had. He wants you to be born again so

  972. that he can personally show you your future, your purpose, why

  973. you exist. And he will talk to you every

  974. day. And there's many in this room

  975. today that I could come around your life.

  976. My life's totally different. The cause of my relationship

  977. with God who came to me, He came to me and he lives in me.

  978. And I hear his voice and he talks to me daily, and he

  979. provides for me. He's healed my body.

  980. He delivers me out of all my trouble.

  981. Do I have trouble? Yeah.

  982. But I get delivered from it all. God causes my enemy to watch me

  983. prosper. When they first do the attack,

  984. they think they take me down till all of a sudden I'm on the

  985. victory side. And they're wishing they never

  986. would have came after me in the 1st place because they're really

  987. not coming after me. They're coming after my daddy.

  988. The Kingdom's amazing. It is the answer to everything

  989. you have. And God is loving.

  990. God will not make you serve him. You have to want to.

  991. So the truth is, God will let you do whatever you want to do

  992. everyone on the planet, because that's what free will is.

  993. He's really giving you the free will.

  994. That's why he he'll say you can do whatever you want to do.

  995. But in the end, I'll hold you accountable to whatever you do

  996. because at the end of the day, someone has to have the final

  997. say and God is the one who has it because he's the author of

  998. words. This is the problem that people

  999. have right now and on our planet.

  1000. They're wrestling their ideal and basically, you know what?

  1001. I think? So you want me to take your word

  1002. over his? It's as simple as word.

  1003. Well, I believe so. You want me to rest my whole

  1004. life on you being right about this?

  1005. Because that's really what God's saying if you'll rest your whole

  1006. life. That I'm right and he is.

  1007. Because all of us. Who've come into his Kingdom and

  1008. follow him. We know he is.

  1009. He is because he's. I am.

  1010. And he's saying tonight I want you in my Kingdom, but you got

  1011. to want to come. And I've done everything

  1012. necessary. I've met every condition in your

  1013. life so that you can be in my Kingdom.

  1014. All you have to do is call on my name.

  1015. That's pretty amazing. So whatever.

  1016. Head bow and every eye closed, no one's looking around.

  1017. If you're here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of

  1018. your life, he is the king of the Kingdom you're wanting.

  1019. I'm telling you right now, he is, He said.

  1020. Well, how do I know? You have to believe?

  1021. But I can tell you this, if you'll believe that Jesus was

  1022. the substitute. He came as a man to pay the

  1023. price of everything that you're guilty of.

  1024. You don't know how it happened, but you just say I'm going to

  1025. believe that. And you say man, I come to you,

  1026. I believe you stood for me. And I just ask you to forgive

  1027. me. And I say you're Lord of my

  1028. life. The Bible says you'll become a

  1029. child of God and your spirit will change.

  1030. And 1st John Work chapter 5 tells us that you'll know you

  1031. have eternal life. How would you like to leave

  1032. tonight to know that the eternity you're in is life, it

  1033. is with God, and that God is now pleased with you and you're in

  1034. His nature. You can know it, no doubt, Like

  1035. know it like you know you're breathing right now.

  1036. All you got to do is believe. Thank you so much for listening
