Go Preach - Kingdom Witness

Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

from St. Augustine, FL.

Now enjoy this message. It is good to be home.

I kind of feel like I've been on a whirlwind.

It's been fun. I feel like I I know for sure.

It was convenient. In the last three weeks I have

slept less in my own bed then I have in the bed of a hotel in

Kissimmee and Tulsa and then in Nicaragua.

My wife informed me the hotel we stay at is no longer.

But we're going to have to upgrade.

So we will do just that. You know, it's important.

Hey, unless you're going to some country where that all you can

do is get what you can get. But you know, when you when

you're ministering as much as we were, you definitely want a good

night's sleep and not something poking in your back.

Amen. And so anyway, we had a great

time. I'm going to talk to you about

missions tonight, but I want to kind of get in the word and kind

of bring it in. All right.

So in March, Chapter 16, again, it was Pastor Marcia and I as we

were conversing. She said, you know, I really

think you need to do Wednesday night.

You know, she's been doing a series on the Holy Spirit and

she's been doing most of our Wednesday nights and will

continue to do so starting next week.

But obviously, you know, I know the church gets excited about

what we're doing because we love our vision.

The vision, God's given us to ignite the city, impact the

nation and influence the world. And you know, you don't want to

wait till Sunday to find out what happened.

Although we'll talk a little bit about it, probably have a video

by then and you know you'll be able to see it.

But we want to be able to minister along these lines

because ignite the city, impact the nation, influence world is

really important to us because that's what God gave us to do.

All right, So mark Chapter 16. Verse 15 and 18 I'm going to

Mark 16 · chapter mention

read two passes of Scripture. Then I'm going to break them

down a little bit. But in Mark chapter 16, verse 15

Mark 16:15

and 18. And Jesus said to them, go into

all the world and priest the gospel of all creation, And he

who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved.

But he who has disbelief shall be condemned.

These signs will accompany those who believe in my name.

They will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues,

they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any daily poison,

it will not hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick

and they will. Recover.

Now go over to Matthew chapter 28, verses 18 and 20.

Matthew 28:18

Matthew chapter 28, verses 18 and 20.

Matthew 28:18

It says in Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying all

authority, how much authority, all authority has been given to

me in heaven and on earth. Go there for and make disciples

of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father

and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all

that I commanded you. And low I'm with you always.

Even to the end of the age. Amen.

So most of the time we call these the Great Commission, but

what we need to understand is these are two different areas to

go. They are not the same.

I want to go back over to Mark chapter 16.

Mark 16 · chapter mention

If you put that back up most of the time we and we've learned

this at aggravate Church and I'm going to key in on it.

We understand that you have to go back to the Greek to

determine what are we talking about.

And you know, when you start getting into other nations,

language is really important and understanding what's going on

becomes pretty important. Because, you know, you could say

something and they could receive it differently and act on

something in a way that wasn't the intent.

Right now we have this problem in our own nation.

In fact, when we were in Poland, one of the minister says When we

all are in heaven, one day before the Lord, we know that

for all eternity the language will be the Polish language.

And I was like, why is that? He says.

Because it takes an eternity to learn Poland Polish language,

that even the Polish people can't speak our own language.

All right, so I I doubt that's true, but it does make for a

good joke. Amen.

But it says it's going to all the world.

This word world is the same word used in John 316.

And this word is not the planet. It's not Earth.

It is worldly order. In essence, it's sectors of

society. So the market count is telling

us as believers, we are to go in our realm of influence.

We are to go into the sectors of society, the world order, in

order to preach. There's a local application of

witnessing. And what's really awesome about

this particular one is that it tells you what you get to do at

work because it says going to all the world again.

This is the world's order. It's the system by which the

world function again. Remember, according to John 316,

for God so love the world, not the earth, but the world.

It's the way that the world function.

He loved. He loved the system he had.

That Adam lost, that he gave to the devil, that he wants to

recoup. That because Adam had the

ability to function in the earth under a system that would be

like God. That's why he said let us make

men in our image according to our likeness and let them have

what dominion. Now dominion is rulership, it's

function. It's how we rule within a realm.

Are you hearing me? So if you are a king with

dominion, then it's how you function in the realm that you

have authority. And so we as humans, God gave

man dominion over the earth. Not the planet as ownership, but

how we manage the Earth, how its systems would function.

Cause in heaven, there's a system that functions, and if

you break that system, well, you'll get kicked out, right?

Jesus said I saw Satan fall. Like what?

Lightning from heaven. You can get kicked out.

You do the wrong system. God never lost his.

System in the earth, in in heaven he has.

Heaven this is. But the system by which He

functions and governs that realm, He has never lost that.

So again, he said in Psalms 115 the highest heavens are the

Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of man, meaning the

way it is to function or operate.

If you go to the Luke's account of the temptation of Christ, the

devil took Jesus up to a high pinnacle or a high place, a

mountain, one translation says, and showed him all the kingdoms

or domains in a moment of time. He said, I'll give these to you

if you'll do one thing, bow down and worship me.

Notice he didn't say. I'll give you the earth.

He said, I'll give you how if things function in this planet,

you can have this authority, this rule, you can rule over

these, but let me be a ruler. And obviously the Lord said It

is written that we are only going to worship God and God

alone. And besides, I'm going to take

it back anyway. Amen.

The point is, is that here in Mark's Gospel.

He is saying that we are to go into the systems of the world

that the the devil is operating in and how he operates in them.

Again, in the Luke account of the temptation, he said.

I'll give you all this domain, for it has been handed over to

me and I can give it to whomever I want, so I administrate this

now. And his administration is

horrible. He comes only to kill, steal and

destroy. He only wants to destroy God's,

you know, way of doing things. He wants to be completely

different than God, although he can present himself like an

Angel of light or like it is godly, although it is not.

And so man's dominion that Adam had he he abdicated, he gave up

his rulership, gave it to the devil, and the devil became the

God of this. World.

He doesn't own planet earth, but he is the God of its systems.

Now again 2nd Corinthians 4 four.

Paul says he's the God of this world, but yet he also writes in

Colossians that Jesus has full principalities and powers and

has stripped the devil of his authority.

So how can he beat in the Colossian, the Corinthian

church, the God of this world, when Jesus has full

principalities and power and defeated the devil?

Well, because there is still a system functioning within the

planet that was never God's design.

And this is where God says I want you to go into all the

world, into those systems and preach.

I want you to be an example of a different system, a different

Kingdom. That's why Jesus said repent,

for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.

There's a different way to function on planet earth.

We're not limited to do it this way.

This is why I caution you with secular teachings that are

devoid of the Holy Spirit, because this system under the

rule of the devil. Can cause you to prosper.

Jesus himself says what good is it a man if he gains the world

he it becomes all powerful in the world's systems before fits

his soul. Do you understand?

You can make money without God and say God's giving it to you

because you can do it the world's way and say God's

blessing you. Well, God's not giving you it

the world's way. He's not doing it.

You're not going to be a great leader through the world's way,

but yet there are ways to navigate in a world system that

is contrary to the Kingdom. In fact, the Kingdom is almost

completely opposite. Now when I say that the devil

has stolen some ways that the Kingdom functions, cause again

he was an anointed chair. He knows how the Kingdom works.

So he has stolen some ideas from him and does it his way.

But ultimately, in the end lies death.

So we always have to say, OK, how do I actually handle

finance? I'm going to step over a line

here and say this. Just because they're Christian

doesn't mean they're preaching Kingdom economics.

That mean it? In fact, one of the buzzwords in

Christianity is called stewardship.

But the secular world does stewardship.

In fact, Pastor Mark and I were having this conversation.

He says it's in the world. We are always trying to see how

much we can get out of a little bit.

I mean we always saving. We're always like, you know, I

want to hold on and give very little in order to get

something. But in the Kingdom, the

kingdom's like, look what I can do with nothing, look what I can

give away and get. It's a totally different system.

All right, Same thing in healthcare.

Healthcare has a different system in the Kingdom of God

compared to the world. Because the world system right

now is to diagnose you, give you a prescription and keep you.

In fact, Ernie was just telling me, is Ernie in here tonight?

Ernesto, Is he serving? He's in Miami still.

Ernesto grabbed this supplement. It's something with Rice.

What was that that he's taken that lowers cholesterol?

Red what? Red yeast rice.

OK, so he's taking this. Went to his doctor and his

doctor says. Your cholesterol is normal.

What are you taking? He said.

This is what I'm taking, he says.

Well, it's a good. Thing not too many people know.

About that or I'd go out of business.

Now that was the response. So you understand what the

doctor's not doing with his next patient.

You don't want to hear this. The doctor's not saying, I just

had a patient that has taken this and it has absolutely

lowered their cholesterol. You need to take this.

But they're not doing that because the world system is to

keep you a repeat customer. Because the reality is you are

money. Your money.

And if everybody's healed, but in God's Kingdom, he wants us

all healed. I mean, at my age, 53, most

people are already on two or three prescriptions at my age

and younger. So, you know, when we're talking

well, we're not on anything. They're like blown away.

How is that possible? Well, because I'm in a different

system. Amen.

But if you don't learn about that system, exercise that

system. But yet the Lord wants us to be

able to go into those systems and preach the gospel.

But notice what it says that we would do in that arena in the

world. OK, we're just talking.

You leave home and you get out of your house.

This is Ignite the City stuff. What are you going to do at

work? What are you going to do at

Target or Publix? What are you going to do?

You know, when you're at a movie theater, what are you going to

be able to do? Well, you'll be able to cast out

devils. You'll be able to speak with new

tongues. You'll be able to pick up

serpents. And if you drink any deadly

poison, you think that's for the nations?

That's home. This is stuff in the house.

Right. It won't harm you.

You'll lay hands on the sick and they'll recover.

In fact, God is telling us here on March 16th that these signs

are following the believer every day of your life.

These are your witnessing tools. Because according to Acts

chapter One, we have been we received the power of God so we

could be His witness. He said don't leave until you've

been in due with power on high to be my witnesses and the

witnessing that we are cuz we are baptized in the Spirit of

God. We have the Holy Ghost living in

us, but he's come upon us and given us power.

He's given us access to supernatural thing that is just

a part of our life. Anytime the Lord needs us to

move in that way, we can. You should expect that during

flu season you can lay hands on people and get people healed at

work. In fact you should be like, what

happened? Well, you know I'm feeling

symptoms going what can I pray for you right.

But what do we do. Well, you know to y'all should

take a shot. We we don't talk because we

don't think this is where we're to witness.

Yet the world this is exactly where we are supposed to be the

most active in our witnessing. And he's like here's the power

of stuff that you have day in and day out.

This is day in and day out stuff.

Then we jump over into Matthew, obviously 28 and he says going

he said I have all authority go there for and make the Sibels of

all nation. Now this word nation means

ethnic groups. So this is where you're going to

nations, all right. This is every tongue tribe,

these are ethnic groups, OK and that.

So it's very important for us to understand when it comes to

witnessing or or missions in general, there is a home

mission. As well as a national missions

as well as a international missions.

And all of them are important. We should not be more excited

about 1:00 than the other. We should be sensitive for them

all. We'll be the most active in our

local mission because this is where we live, this is where we

live and if we can reproduce. What he says we would do in

March 16, what would that do to our city?

Well, that would definitely ignite it.

No doubt about it. Well, you know anybody for Bank

of a church, If they lay hands on you, you'll get healed.

You'll get healed. Now, that doesn't mean they want

to walk in the light of all of it, but they can't deny the fact

that it is now. They could deny the.

Fact that it is. But we know that the Lord knows.

That they had it. Right, the way you walk, the way

you talk, the way you behave, but then the demonstrations you

get to do in igniting your own city and then obviously that

will filter over into our nation as a whole.

But then we get into international and we see that

this is a priority of God as well, he said, Look, it's not

just being local. We want you to get out and hit

the nations because there are comforts in some places that

aren't in others, Pastor Mark said.

I don't want to hear another word.

From my congregation about it being too loud when you get some

sound panels. In Managua, I mean, everything's

concrete and it's just like bouncing everywhere.

I mean, it's loud. It is loud, but not just that,

it is hot because our current church there does not have a C

in it and it had to be 115. Easy, easy.

They had back doors open. They had a side door open.

Then they had another side door that they eventually opened

upstairs. We went and they had like a

green room. It was awesome.

And they had three windows closed and they're sweating and

serving us with a smile. And we're thinking, why is the

windows not open, right? Because we come from an A/C

environment. We come from the A/C, the land

of the A C's. The land of the air condition,

right? I get it.

If you don't have it, that's one thing.

But if you do, you want it right?

And you're like, I'm gonna bless somebody.

Somebody's gonna get a blessing. So we rented a van from

Enterprise, but Pastor Roman could get me one cheaper.

We went with the cheaper van. Never gonna do that again.

Yeah. Forget about saving $200.

Now I was fine, I said. Up front in the air, condition

was cold. But those in the back, they were

hot there, didn't work back there.

They were opening the windows. Any air is good air when it's

hot. And there they were, Amen.

And we had three seats. There was me, Raphael and Pastor

Ramon. And the air was the air.

And my wife was like, quit hogging on the air.

Condition up there. Hallelujah.

Yeah. Our sweat was sweating.

That's not an exaggeration. I mean, I thought I was going to

have to rescue Eloise on multiple occasions, being seven

month pregnant. I'm like she looks like she took

a shower. Right cuz the further you were

in the building and on the platform cuz hot air what rises

so we're past the little tornado tornado fans that are in the

ceiling. Thank God for those tornado fans

though, but they were running and they would hit me every once

in a while. Boy, it was like the blessing of

God. That thing would hit you.

Now at the end of the day, I didn't complain.

We just preached and I was like, thank God I've been working out.

Thank God I'm in shape. Thank God I'm not passing out.

Thank God I've conditioned myself to be able to handle this

because when I preached, I preached 2 hour clips.

I preached twice on Sunday, they were two hours apiece.

They didn't get them leave. Didn't even go to the bathroom,

so does that mean air conditioned makes you need to go

to the bathroom? Because if that's the problem,

I'll turn these things off on Sunday if that's the problem.

If cold air is what caused the bladder to go, let's shut this

thing down so you don't have to leave.

These guys are in there for two hours before we gave him a

break. Hallelujah.

Now again, thank God that God has blessed us right in a nation

that has all kind of inventions and make things very

comfortable. But is the comfort, comfort

taken away from our hunger? Because you want to be hungry,

right? You want to be hungry?

And man, I have to applaud. I mean, they were all sweating,

all sweating, and yet hooked up, listening, taking notes, period.

Well, praise the Lord. Amen.

So we're to go into all the nations and notice here it says

baptizing them, the name of the Father, Son, The Holy Spirit

teaching them deserve all that I command you.

Now obviously the signs are going to follow even in the

nations, but I find it interesting that those are

actually in the world side more so than in the nation side.

Because the reality is, when you go to the nations, you don't

live there, so you're limited in what you can do anyway.

Now what? What do I mean by that?

I mean, sure, I can have a service and we can lay hands on

people. I mean, people got baptized in

the Holy Ghost and they spoke in new tongues while we were there.

That happened. OK.

Could we didn't have any healings that took place at that

particular juncture. Although we weren't led to lay

hands on people for healing and there was no obvious signs of

someone who was in need of healing.

So at the end of the day, that unction didn't come up and we

didn't go there. Didn't know nobody was there

that was demon possessed. So we didn't have to cast out

any devils. Had no issues with that.

There's available. But what we did do is we talked.

We taught the word Pastor Mark taught on authority.

Pastor Marcy ministered on prayer.

And then I ministered on Kingdom economics.

Talk to them about being a dominionaire.

And then I ministered a message. I've never ministered here

before. Yeah, it was awesome.

I wanted to do it tonight, but we'll do it later.

Amen. Well, you know, when you get

something new, you just want to share.

But with that being said, we did teaching.

And it ministers to people because ultimately we're

leaving. And you need to leave them with

the word. You need to leave them with

hunger for the Word and enough scripture that they can go and

study it out for themselves. Hallelujah.

Amen. So with that being said, I want

to give you 4 ways you can witness.

These are practical ways when it comes to ignite the city, impact

the nation and influence the world because we have some

phenomenal opportunities that are going to be able to that are

taking place right now. And with that being said, let me

pull that up. Thank you Lord.

He just reminded me of something and I'm going to pull this up.

A prophecy that was given to us back in 2008 actually was in

2008. And Kevin and Annie Durant had

come to our church and did a series of meetings.

And when they came and did these series of meetings, a particular

prophetic word came up. And so let me pull it up and see

where it's at. I got it saved.

Hallelujah, I'll have to find it.

But in that there were some things that were to come.

Are you hearing me? And as a result of that, I

believe that we are starting to step into those right now

because again true prophecies, here it is, True Prophecies, it

was on actually it was on our four year anniversary, yeah,

April 11th, 2008. It's actually before we started

ministering on the Kingdom like we do.

But it said this even as it's been said before.

You don't have 20 years to build, but it is going to come

quicker and quicker and quicker. My confession of faith say that

again. Yeah, next year is 20 years.

Did you hear what I said? Next year will be 20 years?

I mean, we were driving so hard, you know, and just so purposeful

in all aspects of the vision. Pastor Mars, like, what are

Y'all doing next year? I'm like, what do you mean?

What are we doing next year? Well, it'll be 20 years since

we've just started Anchor Bay Church.

I'm like, well, you're right. I guess it is.

We should probably do something, but back then it says that we

were going to do some things that we needed to get done prior

to 20 years. And man, look at man, what what

a milestone so far and we're not done yet.

So I'm just telling you there's some more that can happen here

between now and next April. That's pretty amazing.

Says even. So look what it says here.

Celebrating 5th year five year anniversary in four years is

pretty exciting. Now, when they said that

initially I was like what? But she was prophesied by the

Spirit. We were a year ahead in things

of the Spirit than the natural years of our planting.

Amen. And you understand you can if

there was a confession of faith I had picked up from a minister.

That he would confess what took other ministries years to, you

know, decades. We would do in a few short

years. Well, I'm like, well, praise

God, I want that. So that became a confession of

mine. What took other ministries

decades to do, we'll do in a few short years.

And then I jumped on the next one.

What took them years we'll do in a few short months.

Now, what I didn't realize is that in order for you to

accomplish that, you got to take the trials that come with that

cause. You don't accomplish anything

without the trial and tribulation that accompanies

before the victory. It comes before the victory.

But at the end of the day, that just kind of meant we had some

things, you know, that just seem like you get out of 1, you get

into another, another little opposition, something else.

But the good news is I had faith.

I knew faith. I can speak to mountains.

I got pretty proficient at mountain speaking.

And so we were able to just drive on, drive on, drive on.

I overcame emotions pretty quick.

That I would not allow the emotional trauma of situations

to overcome the purpose and vision.

And the sooner you learn that, the quicker you accelerate your

purpose. All right, but it says so get

ready. Get ready for exponential

growth, not only in numbers. So we knew numbers were going to

come exponentially, but also in manifestations of the Holy

Ghost. Hallelujah.

And then it went on to say, get ready for exponential growth and

power. Exponential growth and

utterance. Exponential growth and impact

and in manifestation of people responding to the move of the

Holy Ghost. Hallelujah.

So there's a small emphasis on numbers.

The majority of the emphasis was how much of an increase and

exponentially it would be in the things of the Spirit and the

moves of the spirit and the power of the spirit that would

take place. Says I'm doing a new work, says

the Lord. I'm doing a new thing, and you

shall see it spring forth. Hallelujah.

Not just here, not just here a little bit and there a little

bit. But you're going to see some

things begin to spring up. Spring up.

All of a sudden there it will be.

All of a sudden there's a blade. All of a sudden there's the ear.

All of a sudden you'll have the full manifestation of some fruit

that's been planted. Not because of what you did, not

because of what you did, but because seeds have been planted

in the earth. Hallelujah.

And we know according to God's parable concerning being a

fruitful servant, he gave 151211.

And again, if you listen to our service at camp meeting on

capacity, you know, I went further than we did in our own

service here this past April, where you have things written in

a book. And if you're not going to do

them, God has no problem, although it's not his will, but

he has no problem taking something that was assigned to

you and giving it to somebody who's going to do the work.

And we can have expanded editions of our life.

And so I realized that there's been a lot of seed planted in

the earth. Somebody's just got to come

along faithful enough to say I'll keep working because

there's many people who started stuff but aren't finishing.

But the Lord's going to finish what he started.

He'll just find somebody that'll go ahead and pick it up and run

with it. And it may not initially been

assigned to Anchor Faith Church, but Anchor Faith Church will

take it. So again, if you want an easy,

you know, self perceived easy without responsibility,

Christianity, that doesn't actually exist, there are plenty

of churches that accommodate that.

But if you want to do the purpose of God, you've you've

landed in the right place. You've landed in the right place

because we are going to be doers till the end.

We're going to be doers till the end.

We're going to finish what we started, he said.

In the reign of the Holy Ghost is falling on sea that you have

and you have positioned yourself as a body to be a part of that

rain. So get ready for it to spring up

in you. And she ended up saying that

spring up in me that we were to repeat it and said Hallelujah

and then end up making this statement double at the end.

Well, double, that's interesting because when I was at Global

Leadership Conference this year, Apostle Astrada pulled me up

after I ministered on capacity the first night that he's like

or in the afternoon and he's like, no, I guess it was that

night. Yeah, it was Thursday night, the

second time. Then he ended up having, he

said, I saw in the spirit you and you were split right down

the middle this way, he said. On one side you were fully

dressed in the arm of God. But the other side, angels were

bringing the rest of it, he said.

I saw in the spirit that you're halfway through your assignment

now if that's years, that gives me 106.

That's kind of cool. I don't believe it's years.

I think it's work, a labor of body of work to be done and I do

believe that you there is an acceleration towards the end.

Because all ministers that are purposeful about the will of God

accomplish more in their latter years than they do in their

former years. Brother Hagen himself did all

kinds of ministers, was a part of the healing revivals.

Then he got into the teaching. In fact, he was there trying to

help the guys in the healing revival transition into what the

spirit of God was doing at that point, which was trying to teach

people and they weren't transitioning to that.

And they said, look if you don't get all get with what God's

doing then and you keep functioning like you are, you're

gonna. To find your ministries gone and

they are gone. And he outlasted them all.

I said he outlasted them all. But he was 57.

That's four years for me that he went and had a camp meeting the

first time. The Lord said we're going to do

a particular camp meeting and he ended up have that 1st 1973 camp

meeting. And out of one of those meetings

he began to prophesy under the answer of the Lord.

This time next year, we're going to have a Bible school.

Now he was so under the anointing he didn't realize he

had said that, that his son said we're starting a Bible school

and he said, I don't know if we're starting a Bible school.

He said you said so he goes, I didn't say it.

He said yes you did. So they pulled the tape of the

service and he heard himself and he says, well, I guess we are.

Amen. And their thought was at the

beginning of this school that will celebrate its in in

February. It will be its first fifty year

reunion for the first graduates, he said.

If we could just graduate fifty, well, we got Raymond has over

118,000 graduates globally. Hallelujah.

This is amazing. So at 57, between 57 to 86, his

ministry grew exponentially exponentially in the latter 30

years of life. He did more in the last 30 years

of life than he ever did in the 1st 57.

Now Pastor Hagen is doing basically the same thing.

Because in 2000 when my wife and I graduated they were in the

worst of having their second Rayma Bible training college and

and I believe it was Gary Crow had went and was starting it in

Singapore. Well, now it's 2023 and we have

as far as a Rayma Bible Training college.

They are in 54 nations. There's 288 approved campuses

and I think they have about 260 functioning, of which one of

them will go online in January at Anchor Faith Church, Managua,

Hallelujah. So in the last 20, almost 25

years, Rama has done more globally than any other

organization on the planet then the planet.

No organization has grown grown at that capacity.

None. And yet the Lord had a word for

anchor, faith, church for this exponential.

Well, you understand exponential if you understand mathematics is

that you know you're going to kind of go along and it seems

like it's steady, and then when exponential kicks it goes like

this and it will seem like out of nowhere, but it's not out of

nowhere. It was planned.

It was perseverance. It was endurance.

It was overcoming. It was staying true to the

vision. It was pressing on.

It was never wavering. It was doing a mandate that we

were given to do our part in this thing, our partnership with

Rama, but then also what God's called us to do to priest the

gospel of the Kingdom. Hallelujah.

Are you hearing me? And so we are going to go into

all the world, every sector, society.

We know that we are doing that and we're we're passionate about

that. Just like W Augustine, the North

Florida Wildcats first home game is August 26th.

We need to be there, make this thing happen.

Are you hearing me? Now here's the thing.

I won't be there because I'm going to Alabama and preach at

another church that has requested me to come and

minister. Well, y'all should get more

excited than this. The reason you should get

excited is because, listen, God's not saying, well nothing

can happen in Saint Augustine. Let's Pastor Earl's there.

Come on, don't sell yourself short.

Know that God's called you to witness into a whole community

within our city and he's calling you out to go.

I said to go, to go. And you can go and help set us

sell tickets, you can be at the concessions, you can work, you

know, in the the sound press box, thank you press box.

You can work the the, the sideline.

But all the while you're conversing with people, you're

having conversation and the opportunity to pray can be

there. And the things I'm fixing a

highlight you can do in that community because it's part of

our outreach. Amen.

And that's not to mention all the things we're already doing.

We're dining with dignity the first Monday of every month and

then we just got the opportunity next weekend to go into Putnam

Correction Institute that we've been there for 15 years.

I think it is now 15 years that they are allowing us to come in.

No other organization that they've done this Friday.

We're going to go on Friday afternoon, We're going to go on

Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.

We're talking like 4 hour blocks because they want us to come to

a Kingdom rise. Yeah.

Amen. Because what we're carrying, God

wants us to minister. So here's four things that you

can do four ways that you can witness.

The first one is pray and sin. Okay in Matthew Chapter 9, verse

Matthew 9:37–38

37 to 38, it says it this way. Then he said to the disciples,

the harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are what?

Now listen, that doesn't give you an excuse not to witness.

Well, somebody else at ankravate church will do it.

I mean, did you not just pray over the schools?

Right? You prayed over the schools.

How important is that? It's extremely important.

We were at Osceola, we were at Gamble Rogers, we were at Pedro

and we were at Flagler. Amen.

Now, I don't know how many of you went, but the reality is if

all of you had gone, it would still be few compared to all the

churches that are in this community.

So you can say, well, somebody in aggravate churches going, you

need to say we all should go because in the context of

Christian churches in our community.

If all of us went, it would still be a fraction of real

believers, supposedly believers. Look, I'm not here to make

anyone feel bad, but I'll be honest with you, we should be

out in droves. Because if we're not out in

droves, we're really not discipled, and we're not really

passionate about witnessing. We should be out in droves and

other churches should be like. Wow, faith.

It's like the whole church shows up and it would inspire them to

be more hungry. I mean the.

But if we're casual, guess what? We're no different than they

are. But yet, I know we preach

different. Our preaching is to inspire us

as doers. We know that it seems as if God

can do nothing, Let someone pray.

You think the schools are going to stay protected just because

we're in the community? We're in covenant with God?

God overturned his own nation that he was in covenant with

because they weren't doing anything.

In fact, they were living like the world.

So we have to live different. We have to show up.

We have to be passionate. I understand there's other

things that are going on. I get it.

But at the end of the day, you should.

You need to. Hear us say don't come, we've

got enough. We should have that kind of

passion about this vision God's given us because, again, the

harvest truly is plentiful. But the laborers are what few,

he says. Therefore, pray, the Lord of the

harvest is send out laborers into his harvest to send out

laborers. If you do not get a laborer, the

harvest will not come in. They do not.

You do not get a harvest without a laborer, period.

We have Agricultural Society in our county.

And if you go out there where they're, you know, Hastings was

the potato capital of the world at one point.

If you went out there, those potatoes aren't coming in

without a laborer. I mean, I don't care that

there's a big field and wow, look at all the what?

You can't see them. They're, you know, obviously

buried. But the point is is that, you

know, wow, you pull up once and wow, all these potatoes last.

We got to get them out of the field.

If you don't, they'll rot even though they were ready to go.

And yet how many Christians in their witnessing we're not

staying connected in prayer. We're not really saying, OK,

when God tells me to go, I'm going again.

At the end of the day there there are few.

So guess what that means? If there are few laborers, guess

what that means. You going to get called on a

lot. But I consider that an honor.

I said I consider that an honor that Lord say you're up to bat.

Again, we'll praise God. Come on, let's go.

Right. I mean, I don't know why you're

riding the pond, but I'm ready to get in the game, you know.

And if everybody else you do it put me in coach.

I'm ready to play cause there's a whole world out there.

Amen. Second Thessalonian Chapter 3,

verse one says finally brother. And pray for us that the word of

the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified just as it did.

Also with you. So again, how can we witness?

Well, prayer is the first thing every any listen, any great

revival first started in the church.

It does not start outside it. It always started in the church

where the church itself had a hunger and began to pray.

Lord, we need laborers. And send me then.

Lord, Lord, I pray that your word spreads rapidly, that it

makes an impact. To the hear that it draws them.

Amen again, Romans 1014 and 15 wants to say, How then will they

call on him and whom they have not believed?

And how will they believe in him whom they've not heard?

And how will they hear? Without a what, without a

preacher? How will they preach unless they

are sent? How will they preach unless they

are sit just as it is written, how beautiful are the feet of

those who bring good news of good things?

So we are to pray and we're also to sin in our prayer.

We're going to recognize there's going to be opportunities.

And then it's like, who are we sending?

I said who are we sending? Because sometimes sending

locally, it can be pretty easy for us to send, but then

internationally that's a little bit different.

And again, you get, you become a part of the process.

If you can't personally go to that distance to be able to be a

laborer, you can say, I know the work, I'm connected in prayer, I

know there's a harvest there and I can definitely financially

support getting those people to where they need to be.

And then you're a part of the harvest.

I said you're part of the harvest.

I mean, think about it. If a farmer only has his hands

to pick it up, but you say, you know what, I'm going to buy you

a tractor. The minute they use a tractor,

you're a part of that harvest because you gave them the

necessary equipment to be able to bring something in.

So every time we're like, hey, we're going to go on this trip,

hey, we're going to do this, hey, we're supporting this in

this particular country. Guess what you do?

You're sending our prayers. Then we put things to action

because at the end of the day, prayer without action is

religion and we are not a church that prays.

We are a church that has answered prayers because we pray

in line with the Lord. Amen.

So that's the 1st way that we witness is we pray and sin.

The second thing is this, We preach the gospel of the

Kingdom. That's what we do.

We don't just preach the gospel because people are making up

gospel. They're making their own good

news. We're preaching the gospel of

the Kingdom, Matthew 417 Jesus said.

From that time Jesus began to preach and say repent for the

Kingdom of. Heaven is at hand.

Hallelujah. In Matthew 2414.

Look what he says. This gospel, which gospel of the

Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to

all the nations. Here we go again.

Where are we going to preach it in the whole world as a

testimony to all the nations. So we're going into our world

order, the systems of the world. That also has an effect within

nations. Both areas are we to preach the

gospel of the Kingdom And then the inn will come.

Paul rebuke hit one of his own church plants and says why are

you listening to a different gospel?

Which means they were listening to something that sounded like

good news, but it wasn't the good news he preached.

You know what sounds like good news?

Ask Jesus into your heart so that when you die, you go to

heaven and you're eternally secure and there's nothing you

have to do at all from that point on.

Sounds good, but that's not what Jesus preached.

Jesus didn't preach that gospel. Jesus did not preach that

gospel. Jesus did tell Nicodemus unless

a man's born again, he shall not see the Kingdom.

So born again is a part of a Kingdom gospel, but it's not the

only part. It's not the only good news.

Born again is not the only thing he talked about.

In fact, he never publicly preached that.

You cannot read the four gospels and see where Jesus publicly

preached. Be born again.

He didn't do it. Do you need to be born again?

Yes, because unless you're born again, you cannot see the

Kingdom nor enter the Kingdom. But the Kingdom is bigger than a

one time experience. The Kingdom is sonship, so there

are gospels that are being preached called destination

gospel. Where are you going to go when

you die? That's what all religion is

asking. The gospel Jesus preached was

destiny. Gospel.

And that is. I'm gonna get heaven into you

while you on the earth. I'm gonna make you like me while

you're on the earth. I'm gonna empower you with my

spirit. While you're on the earth.

I'm gonna turn you into a sun. Now I'm gonna give you authority

Now I'm gonna give you power. Now I'm gonna cause you to walk

in power. Now I'm gonna allow the Kingdom

to show up Now. You don't have to wait for his

existence. It's here in you, and that's a

different gospel. Because that brings

responsibility. Amen.

Praise the Lord. So this cost with the Kingdom.

That's what we preach here. Look at Acts.

Acts 8 · chapter mention

Chapter 8 versus 4 and five says this.

Therefore those who have been scattered went about preaching

the word. Phillip went down to the city of

Samaria and began proclaiming Christ to them.

That Christ is a title. It's not last name.

That's the Greek equivalent to the he Hebrew word Messiah, and

that's the anointed one in his anointing, which is always in

reference to the king. So basically it's Jesus the King

and it goes on verse 12. But when they believe Philip

preaching the good news about the what Kingdom of God and the

name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized men and women alike,

apparently somewhere around. At the end of World War 2.

The United States evangelicals got together and they had a made

a decision. What is the least way we can

present the easiest way to present the Bible?

And they pulled out a lot of elements just to get you down to

I'm a Sinner, I need salvation. Jesus was the answer.

Ask him to come into your heart. They decided we could tear this

down to where everyone can say that the problem was Jesus

didn't break it down like that. Now again, I'm not saying that's

not true. Are we sinners?

Yes. Did Jesus pay the price?

Absolutely. He's the only one who could.

Do we have to confess him as Lord?

Yes, it's not of any works lest any man should boast right.

It is by faith through it is through by grace through faith.

Grace don't even show up if faith's not there.

All right. But most people stop any

Ephesians to not instead of going to 10 because 10 gives you

the purpose of salvation and the purpose of salvation is for good

works that you are predestined that God had for you already.

In essence I got I made you a child of God so you can do

something as I speak to you and together we are Co laborers with

Christ. You can't have the gospel of

Jesus and do nothing. You can't do it, not the one

Jesus preached. Jesus's gospel of the Kingdom

was an action gospel, and it gave authority and authorization

from the King himself. Hallelujah, Acts chapter 20,

Acts 20:25

verse 25. Paul, who wrote over half of the

New Testament, what did he preach in order to establish all

of his churches? And now, behold, I know that all

that all of you among whom I went about preaching what the

Kingdom, will no longer see me see my face.

So again, Paul in his Gospels, although he don't directly

reference the Kingdom, in every one of them he is referencing

the culture. Of the Kingdom again, if I go to

New York, there's a place called Chinatown.

And why is it Chinatown? Because the culture there.

I mean the the, the, the, the advertisement on their store

windows, the conversations in the street, the food, the dress.

You think you're in China, but you're in the US, you're in New

York. They have another section called

Little Italy. It's where the Italians live.

And again, this the language, even though they're in the

United States. Well, you know what?

There's a behavior and culture called the Kingdom, Paul said.

You formerly used to live this way, but now you're in the

Kingdom. We live this way.

And that's what his letters to the churches were.

You're in a different Kingdom. It's a different culture.

We don't behave that way, don't act that way, don't respond that

way. Well, you understand, God

doesn't make you behave that way.

You have to willfully. Yield to the Spirit and let the

fruits of the Spirit come up. Hallelujah.

Are you hearing me? Amen.

So one way is that you're going to pray and sin.

The 2nd way is you're going to preach the gospel of the

Kingdom. Now, how many of you have spoken

to some coworkers or some other people locally?

I've never heard that. And when you started talking

about things you learn at the church, they're like, I've never

heard that before. Yeah, never heard it.

They're like I've never heard. I've never heard that.

Yet it's true. I remember I was at the AM E

Church, St. Paul AM E Church on Good Friday

and then I was preaching. They beat me up.

But I was preaching anyway. You only have 7 minutes.

It's the seven last sayings of Jesus and you get 7 minutes to

minister. And so I picked on one because

he went low. I said I'm going to take your

minutes anyway. But I was preaching well.

There was a particular minister there.

I won't say who. And and when I was there in the

backroom, that minister did not look at me, talk to me, make eye

contact with me. Nothing, nor acknowledge me.

That's fine because I know who I am anyway.

I don't. So anyway, they did their stuff

and I came to do mine. And after I was done and I

preached the Kingdom. Come on, who was there?

I got some witnesses. Yeah, I preached the Kingdom

when that the one who would not acknowledge me in the back came

up and said. I've never heard such a powerful

message before in my life. And they're a minister because

the Kingdom changes everything. I said the Kingdom changes

everything. The Kingdom changes everything.

If you're sitting here today as a first time guest or you've

only been here a few times and you're like, man, what's this

Kingdom? Well, the best way you can learn

it before we totally preach it is you go by my book at guest

relations called The Forest. Of which we took Spanish copies

to Nicaragua and I gave them to pastors while I was there.

That one pastor sent me a video I need someone to translate for

me and was like basically just saying pastor, I'm going to

minister entirely out of this book and teach our congregation

their dominion. Hallelujah.

I said Hallelujah. So we're touching nations with

the Kingdom of God. Amen.

Are you doing all right? Okay?

Before I get into the last two, I say this because that prophecy

said exponential and we'll be 20 years here.

Now, currently, to your knowledge, we have Anchor Fay

Church St. Augustine, Anchor Fay Church,

Valdosta. Anchor Fay Church Managua.

And you're aware that we're wanting to plant one in Lyon?

Correct. So Pastor Roman, Y'all put up

Pastor Ramon and his family, y'all know them.

They are over Anchor, Faith Church and Managua.

Amen. And he basically will be our

Bishop in the land. Okay.

He's our Bishop. He'll make, he'll oversee the

churches on my behalf because I'm the apostle and he'll

basically be the Bishop within the that area.

Now you're aware that we're going to plant Lyon and here is

Pastor Luis and his wife Yamalet.

They are, we went to Lyon, here they are here.

Pastor Luis is from Mexico originally.

He's he's from Mexico. His wife was actually born in

Lyon. And so they moved back.

Moved to, She moved back to Nicaragua, OK And they're going

to be planning a church in Lyon. We were looking at property.

So we flew in and we went, We need to go to Lyon because I

thought we were minister. Next day some plans change.

Anyway, Long story short, we it was 3:00 AM Wednesday, we're

leaving and we didn't go to bed till like 10:00 PM their time,

which was actually midnight our time.

But we went to Lyon. We need to go look at some

property we need to see, get an idea where we can plant this

church. I needed to be at a connect with

them. And so, you know, here within

between now and the 1st of this year, they're going to be

starting the campus. Amen, Hallelujah.

Now you know that Pastor Rick and his wife, Pastor Carla, they

graduated from Rayma and they actually were over in Rayma,

Mexico. There's Pastor Rick and his wife

Carla. And our goal is to start

sometime next year, although Pastor Rick is biting that the

bit. I mean, he's ready.

I'm like, man, you just you're married.

You're newlyweds. Still, it's OK, you know, But

anyway, they aren't going to be in the Dominican Republic in

Puerto Plata, OK, both of them will be attending Rayma this

fall because they're going to be doing the same training that

Pastor Roman did in Rayma. And they're going to get on the

leadership track so that in two years they will be able to have

a REM of Bible training College in that church as well.

Hallelujah. I mean, this is who would have

thought this? When we first started in 2004,

this was not our thinking. But here, within the last two

years, God is starting to exponentially give us influence

beyond just where we're at. Now in November, I don't have a

picture of them, but in November, we're going to India

and Pastor Jay and his wife that we're going to be moving their

church to be an Anchor Bay Church.

And so we've got some people that are doing construction

going to go. I'll get those tickets here in a

little bit and next thing you know, we're going to go paint,

flip that place, do a Kingdom Institute graduation, do a

Kingdom Rise conference as well, send the team home.

And then Pastor Marsh and I will go on to Albania because she was

invited to come to a women's conference.

And since we're already over there, we might as well swing

through that country on the way back, right?

OK, so they're doing the Dominican Republic.

Well, Pastor Ramon had some gentlemen prior to him becoming

an Anchor Faith Church that considered him their pastor.

There are denominational churches in Nicaragua, but there

are also independent churches and independent churches.

Then they kind of get hungry for fellowship and Pastor Ramon had

a who he is as a leader can attract.

Those. Independent pastors, and he had

a network with about seven of them.

Out of that, we were always talking because he had a desire

to plant churches. Obviously I didn't realize that

God was having us planting churches until we did Valdosta.

And now that we are, I could connect with him pretty easy.

And I said, now again, I'm not here to plant anchor faith

churches. I'm here to plant a culture.

They might can do a perceived church, call it church, all

right, but we're here to plant a very specific culture that is in

line with the Kingdom of God. And if you're going to be an

anchor Faith church, then no matter where you go on the

planet you feel like you walked into.

Heaven, are you hearing me? We want that kind of atmosphere.

Now, there's a lot of work to get that atmosphere because

we're having to deal with you on the earth.

Gotta deal with your flesh. It ain't gonna be no flesh in

heaven, you understand? So but we having to deal with

your flesh here. We're trying to get heaven to

ascend down and it's got to get your flesh out the way.

That's why we're not a flesh friendly church.

We crucify our flesh. We want to live by the Spirit

and that's work that requires all of us to come together to

have that kind of culture, that kind of atmosphere.

All right. And so I'm very adamant about

that. So I said you know these

individual, we got to know who. So he let me know out of the

seven, he said I got three, we got 3/3 that I think can be with

us. Well then once we got the Rama,

my plan at that point or my thinking is we will run them

through Rama. Let him do 2 years of Rama, get

the foundation of faith in them. According to the prophecy of

Brother Hagan, they will have understood faith.

Then they'll understand the Kingdom, because that's what we

preach and nothing will be withheld from those who do that.

And so then then you can watch these individuals, they finish

that course, man. We can turn them and recommend

them to be an Anchor Bay church. That's what you're doing.

And we can move now. He's had prior relationships.

And so when we're talking about this exciting opportunities and

things, he said, well, I got one pastor even passed for 10 years.

And you know, I said, well, again, if he wants to be an

anchor of a church, you got to ask him, is he willing to change

the name? So he asked, and he asked

another one who hadn't started a church, but, you know, since he

hadn't started, why have a different name You're going to

change in two years. So he's having a conversation.

Then we had one guy years ago that he was so excited about

what Pastor Ramon was doing, being with an aggravate church,

and he turned his church into that, that he automatically

changed his with a whole different logo.

And I showed up and I'm like, what is this?

This is not us, right? And so we had to kind of, you

know, redirect a little bit. Long story short, we have three

other churches now now today. So first I'm going to introduce

you to Pastor Marlin. He's been passing for 10 years.

Here's him and his wife and they have Anchor Faith Church in

Managua. Managua is 900.

Listen, how many people are in Managua?

Managua has 973,000 and 87 people.

To get a little bit further out there, over a million we could

plant. Multiple for faith churches in

Managua? No problem.

But he was so passionate about what we were doing and what

Pastor Ramon's doing. I got a video of his church with

our logo. His greeters already have our

patch on there. This.

Amen. Now, I laid it out at our

meeting. This is what it looks like to be

us. And Pastor Ramon's like you.

Let him know how it's going to be, because at the end of the

day, we're here to have culture, not just have another church.

But we have this church, then we have Pastor Narciso.

He's by himself. He's now he honestly, I think

he's 70 years old. Seriously, this guy right here

used to be a cowboy. This guy's super fit, man.

It's amazing. And so he has a church.

And every time Pastor Marsh and I come to the country, he gives

me gifts. He honors me with gifts.

Amazing guy. And so he's the one who sent me

a video about I'm going to preach out of this book.

I'm only going to teach, you know what we've learned in from

this book? Amen.

So he has an Anchor Bay Church now Pastor Alberto and his wife,

they've they are just starting a Home group.

But he has a 3D model of the church.

He wants to build 188 capacity with a balcony.

I'm like, you need to send me that.

He did. It's pretty awesome.

I'll show. It to you later, but they're

going to be planting a church ultimately.

They're starting with a small group right now.

All three. All, you know, all five of

those. Plus he has a son that's going

to attend Rayma. They'll all be attending Rayma

in January. Hallelujah.

So currently we have 4 Anchor Faith churches in Managua and

one's coming online in Lyon. Now, this is what we call

exponential. And I just want you to know

there's going to be plenty of opportunities because I remember

the Lord told me, he said your greatest influence in missions

will be the Caribbean. Any nation that touches a

Caribbean, and I know it's because of proximity, it's easy

to get there and get back, don't take a long time.

And you know what? We're going to be able to get

there. We're going to be able to paint,

we're going to help build, we're going to be able to do.

So it doesn't matter whether you preach or teach.

You can put your hand to something because we are

expanding. Hallelujah.

These are exciting times that we're in.

And the Lord said I didn't have 20 years to build something, so

we are building whatever that was.

That wasn't going to take 20 years, but then we going to keep

on going. Hallelujah.

So the next two ways that you can witness first one, prayer

and sin. Second one is you're going to

preach the gospel of the Kingdom.

The third one is you're going to encounter physical changes of

the lost when you're witnessing. There should become physical

changes of the Lost. Now what do I mean by that?

Look at Matthew chapter 4, verse 23 and 24.

Matthew 4:23

Because remember, March 16 was that you were going to all the

world that's already that's your back door.

And you're going to be able to raise the dead, heal the sick,

cast out devils, the speak with Newtons, the power for those

things to happen, he says. This Jesus was going throughout

all Galilee, teaching in their synagogue and proclaiming what

the gospel of the Kingdom and healing every kind of disease

and every kind of sickness among the people.

The news about him spread throughout all Syria, and they

brought to him all who were ill, those.

Suffering from various diseases and pain, the Montiacs,

epileptics, paralytics. And He healed them.

What? And He healed them.

He healed them. He healed them.

So when we encounter the loss in our witnessing, we should see

physical changes happen with them.

Our witnessing should bring about physical changes in their

life. Look what it says in Matthew

10/1. And it says.

And when He called unto Him His 12 disciples, He gave them power

against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner

of sickness and all manner of disease.

Are you a disciple? I said, Are you a disciple?

Again? March 16, says those who believe

these signs will follow, So you're witnessing you.

It should be common that physical changes will take place

with those that are outside the Kingdom, because you can witness

to them. The people that Jesus was

healing did not get born again because they had not yet died.

He had not yet died and rose. So he's healing people who are

out of covenant. I mean, are, you know, not born

again, born of God. Now he healed some, quite a few

that were in covenant with God through the covenant with

really, Abraham, but they were under the law of Moses, right?

But he did not limit healing there for those who came after

it. The sire Phoenician woman, she

got it. There were others that were

outside the House of Israel that received healing because they

were persistent salt. The centurion was a Roman and

though he didn't get healed himself, he had the power to

believe God and God said concerning him.

I've not seen such great faith. No, not in all of Israel.

I got a heathen that has better faith in my own nation cause he

just believes me at it, at my word.

Wow, so physical changes should happen.

These are four ways that we witness.

We pray and sin. We priest the gospel of the

Kingdom, then we demonstrate that gospel because we can cast

out devils, we can lay hands on the sick.

I mean we can do things because of the power in us that comes

through us when we yield to God. I said when we yield to God,

Amen. I'm remember one time we were

over across from Publix right here.

That's on 3/12. You know where the Babcock is.

We were over in a storefront over there and we some guy come

in and. Preached and preached about

faith and healing, all this stuff.

We were actually outside because we're having some county issues.

And so he left with some people came that were followers of his

ministry. They weren't here.

They were not in our community. This lady has some challenges

with her children physically. And so with that being said, the

gifts of the spirit were not in operations to to do anything for

her family. But when she put her son in the

wheelchair in the van and went to put their, you know, infant

in, they quit breathing. And died in the vehicle.

And she got pretty hysterical, obviously, no movement, no

breath, no nothing, no pulse, nothing.

And so we have some people who are nurses, You know, they were

crying around the van. Obviously they called 911.

And so, you know, I'm like, Lord, I just had a minister here

talking about the power of God. We can't have this happen.

Cannot have an infant die, cannot do this.

The church is too young, too young.

Live. So I knew that God wanted to do

something. So I didn't even get.

I didn't move them out of the way.

I mean, I got up to the van. I mean, I was kind of pushing up

against this one particular nurse, you know, and I stuck my

hand in around the van. She knew I was there.

I touched the child. I said in Jesus.

Pull my hand back out. Don't.

I don't know what happened. Nothing.

I just. And then I went off and began to

pray in the Spirit. Because at the end of the day,

now I'm 11, started up, you can hear them coming around.

They happen to be across the street actually.

So they got there real quick, praise God, you know, But within

that time frame. And I'm praying.

Well, later on, afterwards, you know, the baby is alive, the

nurse told me when I laid hand. Now I didn't do it.

It's power of God, you know, so-called.

We can raise the dead only by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And I laid. So God began to witness to the

congregation this thing I've been preaching, he preached, and

it was in demonstration. And that child was raised up

that day. Hallelujah.

Amen. Because there can be.

Physical changes that occur when we are operating as witnesses.

The last one is this. Number four, we are to invade

their lives through their minds. Invade their lives through their

minds and this is directly the the gifts of the Spirit, not the

power gifts of faith healings and work in a miracle, but a

word of knowledge. I said a word of knowledge.

Look what it says in John chapter 4, verse 16 and 19.

John 4:16

Jesus said to her go call your husband and come here.

And the woman answered and said, I have no husband.

And he said to her, You have said, you have well said, I have

no husband. 4 You have had five husbands.

And the one whom you you now have is not your husband in that

you spoke truly, the woman said to him.

Sir, I perceive that you are prophet.

He invaded her mind. He was able to say things about

her that he could have not known because she didn't know him and

she knew he must be tapped to God.

Are you hearing me? And this is one of the most

untapped things that again, This is why we earnestly desire

spirit. It's not to bring attention to

you, it's to bring attention to the one that's outside the

Kingdom that God's aware of them.

Look what it says in John chapter one, verse 47 to 50.

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said to him, Behold and

Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit, Nathaniel said to

him, How do you know me? Jesus answer said to him before

Philip called you. When you were under the fig tree

I saw you, Nathaniel answer said Rabbi, you are the son of God,

you are the king of Israel. Jesus answer said to him,

Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree.

Do you believe you will see greater things than these?

So he was able to identify with him, open him up, because he was

able to speak something that was either his present or his past,

that only God would know He had not ran into him, and it allowed

those individuals know that God was aware of them.

That is a witnessing tool. And let me say this if you're

not baptizing. The Holy Ghost, whatever is the

Speaking of tongues, you can't operate in that.

Through the baptism the Holy Spirit with evidence, speaking

in tongues, do the gifts of the Spirit get in operation, And

again? Jesus.

Never, ever wanted his covenant children to witness only from a

born again. Perspective, you say, pastor.

How can you say that? Read your Bible.

Jesus walks into the room, you understand?

Walks through the walls after his death bearing resurrection,

right Sees this disciple, John chapter 20.

John 20 · chapter mention

And read it yourself. He sees this disciple and it

says he breathed on them to what receive the Holy Spirit.

He breathed on them so there is an inward feeling of the Holy

Spirit. Pastor Marcy ministered on this

on a Wednesday night. If you weren't here, go back on

our podcast. You ain't done that spirit with

that spirit. Oh.

I'm setting you up, girl. It's great you want to be here

next Wednesday, so there's the spirit within.

And then there's a spirit upon same Holy Spirit.

And it's not half and half, It's all within and then it all upon.

Are you hearing me OK? With that being said, he

breathed on them and anything Jesus did always happened.

So if he breathe on them to receive the Holy Spirit, they

receive the Holy Spirit, which means Jesus, all those disciples

be born again because you cannot put new wine in old wine skin.

So when? People say, well, the worst that

we do, greater than Jesus is we see people born again.

Jesus didn't. That's a lot.

Jesus all the new covenant come to pass.

What Jesus didn't witness when he was on the earth was they

indubit of power? Because he said now it's to your

advantage that I go that he may come because if I don't go he

can't come. Now here he is breathes on the

disciples. They received the Holy Spirit

and you know what he says to them?

Don't say anything. I don't want you talking on my

behalf. I know you just came alive and

all the guilt and shame is gone. You know, you're a new person

now. It's pretty amazing.

Isn't that pretty amazing? The Holy Spirit's living in.

You bearing witness with your spirit, your child to God is

amazing, he said. Don't talk about it, he said.

Don't say anything. Yet, he said.

But you. Wait until the promise comes,

until you are endued with power from on high.

So these group of people hold a private prayer meeting waiting.

For the power to come so. They can witness what they've.

And they're not even authorized to be a witness by the head of

the church. By the head of the church.

Until they're endured with power from.

On high and on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Ghost came

in like a mighty Russian wind, and they all began to speak in

other tones as he gave them others.

It were unknown tones, but they were also languages of other

nations as well, because again, if you've never studied certain

languages, God has no problem releasing it out of you so that

it can testify to them. So we had two different things

going unknown tongues and. Languages happening in the same

moment that it called the attention.

Of people and they thought they were drunk and he said they.

Are not drunk as you suppose. Sometimes we just need to

explain what's going on. What is going on in that church?

Well, that means explain it, because that's what happened in

the first one. Had to explain it.

But it was after that that they could be a witness, and it was

after that that the the gifts of the Spirit could start to flow.

And again, if anybody's got a problem with speaking in.

Other tongues. Then you got a problem with half

of the Bible because Paul wrote and he said I pray in tongues

more than you all. So why are you preaching out of

the text of a tongue talker? Doesn't make sense.

Does. It, I said.

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense, he.

Said man. When I pray in an unknown

tongue, he called it unknown. Unknown tongue my spirit praise

my mind's unfruitful. Have no.

Idea what I'm saying, but it's the spirit praying through my

spirit. And he wrote over half of the

New Testament. A Pentecostal tongue talking,

devil casting out, raising the dead individual.

And why couldn't he? Why could he?

Cause he was baptizing the Spirit.

Praise the Lord so again. It opens up the word of.

Knowledge so that you can. Communicate things that are

going on in people's lives at work, all of this.

Is available to the one who would witness.

Not only do they need to operate locally, they need to operate

nationally. And then they can operate

internationally, but the ones that operate the most.

And This is why I love that God put it in March 16.

This way. He just wants you to know a lot

of power is going to be happening when you get out in

the sectors of. Society through you.

This isn't reserved for the nations because you know when

you go to. Some really.

Supernatural things happen. You know why?

It's called hunger. It's called hunger.

Now here's the thing. A word of knowledge is not

dependent on the hunger of the hearer.

It's dependent on the hunger. Of the one given the word,

laying hands on the sick. Isn't dependent.

On the hunger of the people you're working with, it's

dependent on the hunger of the one who can lay hands on the

sick. So if you stay hungry and full

of the power of God and the word of God and sensitive to a

spirit, he can say, hey, so and so at work today had this issue

last night. Would you take him to lunch once

you talk to them about it and let them know I got it taken

care of well? They're lost.

Lord, I know, I know that. But.
