We the Lord dealt with me. A lot of people.

We're believing God for many, many, many people to come to the

So I put a book together and it was supposed to be an out and

then they said, it would be shipped last week that didn't

And in that book, I teach on the first chapters make full proof

of your salvation. You got, you know, don't don't,

else's hands. Amen.

Find out what it is to be born again.

Ghost. So hopefully we'll get that one

pretty good now. How they look?

You didn't take very long, got a good crew back there.

Amen. Glory to God.

Amen! Amen, amen!

So praise God but tonight we're going to get in some things.

It's my honor to kick this off and get it started, so I pray

and Lord changed my message about 14 times.

But anyway, Had to change of this afternoon.

I was telling Pastor Li said you touched on three of the messages

in your message that I was going to preach.

I said either you jumped over and got in my lane or we're

hearing from God. Amen.

I thought I believe we're both hearing from God.

Amen. I believe God has a theme for

this week and I believe if you'll come and hear the word

and let it get in your heart, it'll change your life.

Amen. Praise God.

Let's pray. Father, we thank you and I

praise you for your goodness and mercy Lord.

We trust you for utterance. We thank you Lord.

For Earning our hearts and our minds and bringing to us a

spirit of wisdom and Revelation that we might see hear and

receive a know, the truth that will set us free and Lord.

We set ourselves to be good ground to hear this word to

receive this word. And then, to be doers of the

word and Lord, we thank you in advance for working with us and

for, and confirming your word with the signs that follow in a

company. And we just give you all the

praise for all things. In Jesus name, amen.

Amen. Praise I want you to look in

Matthew's gospel, chapter 4, we'll look into verses verse 17.

And then we're going to look down to verse 23 and and in

these verses we find the Lord Jesus Christ, initiating, the

gospel of the Kingdom. Praise God.

You know, Luke 16:16. It says that the law and the

Luke 16:16

prophets were preached until John, and since then the kingdom

of God is being preached and many are pressing into it.

And so we find that the Lord Jesus Christ.

When he came up out of the water, the Holy Spirit came down

upon him, he was filled with the spirit, of course, we know that

the spirit led him into the Wilderness and in the

wilderness, he established his authority by defeating the

devil. Three times of three tests with

the spoken word of God. Amen!

And so we see that the Lord Jesus is initiating the kingdom

and then also he's initiating and revealing, the power that is

in that Kingdom, that is going to change.

Humanity, forever. Hallelujah.

And in verse 17, the Bible says that from that time.

And from the time of John, you know, being put in prison, he

says Jesus began to preach. And to say, repent for the

Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, you know?

Isn't it amazing? The, the message that Jesus is

preaching here. Of course, you know, we'd heard

repentance all throughout the Bible.

But, you know, here he's adding a little different connotation.

He's adding little emphasis to it.

He's saying, repent because now Repentance is not going to keep

you in bondage of the law, you'll repentance is going to

bring you over into the liberty of the kingdom of God.

So your repentance the changing of your mind.

The changing of your attitudes are changing of your life, is

not just going to be going from day to day, but it's bringing

you into the kingdom of God, and is bringing you into God's

righteousness. His peace is joy.

In the Holy Ghost, his power, his anointing.

Amen. And so the Lord is really

showing you some things in your Those, it's amazing to me and

and we want to take just a moment here.

Lord just was dealing with me during the praise and worship.

There he said just touch on the fact of repentance there, you

and Acts chapter 2 on the day of Pentecost when Peter preached

Acts 2 · chapter mention

that my you know, Mighty message in the people said well what

must we do? What did he say?

He said, repent and believe the gospel and you receive the gift

of the holy spirit so you know, they repented they did the

things there. Well, we find the Lord.

Eating repentance and, and what it means is to change your mind,

to change your direction, to change your heart, to change

your life. Amen.

You what the Lord is saying. He's saying if you sick and

tired of being sick and tired, you can change it.

Now, if you don't like what you have, and you don't like what

you're doing. You don't like what things are

going on all around you. I'm giving you the open door.

Now, to change that and move over into a place where you

can't get on your own, amen. And that's the real because the

Lord took me back to whenever I was in college and I wasn't

living for God. You know, I was taught to

believe in God, be a good person.

That's about the extent of my Christianity.

Okay. And so, you know, but I was in

college and I had gotten away because, you know, you can

believe in God, try to be a good person.

Still not do the right stuff and I finally got to the place where

I said I just said it one night my door, my room I said, Said,

Lord, I just don't like who I am.

I don't like what I'm doing. I don't know how to change it.

I don't want to be this way. You know that basically was

defining, I need to repent, I need a change in my life, I need

something to take my life in a different direction.

God and I didn't really know, but, you know, the Lord spoke to

me and he ministered to me and he showed me and he led me to a

couple of ball players. I played football in college.

And so he led me to a couple of my teammates who were on fire

for God. And they took me Romans, 10:9,

and 10, and I found out that repentance wasn't just me being

sad or Aggravated or frustrated with the life.

I was living repentance meant that I needed to turn from that

and find how to get out of that situation and get over into a

better situation. Amen.

I didn't know anything about the kingdom of God, or the kingdom

of darkness? I just need a change.

But when I found out as I've learned, is this by going to my

friends and then taking me to Romans 10:9 and 10 and teaching

Romans 10:9

me that, if I would believe that Jesus was the Christ, that God

raised him from the dead, accept him in my heart confess.

Has him as my Lord. I would be saved.

What they were doing was this, they were saying through your

dissatisfaction with your life. Now, you can turn to the Lord

Jesus Christ, and he will take you out of the kingdom of

darkness, and I fall under the authority of darkness and take

you out of that life, that you're tired of and bring you

over into a life. That is so full of God and Grace

and blessing, that it'll change you forever.

Hallelujah. And I didn't know what happened

to me that night, but I went from the kingdom of darkness

took over to the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah.

I changed Lords. I changed the the the the one

who had Authority in my life. So you see repentance isn't, I'm

just don't like my life. I'm tired.

Repentance is seeking God because he said this kingdom is

right here, but you got to come till you got to find it.

Amen. And you got to come to it

through the way. The Lord says, now, in the 23rd

verse after the Lord is teaching and ministering.

He gets down here and he says, and Jesus went about all Galilee

teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the

kingdom and healing. Healing all kinds of sickness

and all kinds of disease among the people.

Now, we begin to see some more truth.

Not only will the kingdom of God sets, you free from your sin.

Come on, not only when you repented and turn your life to

the Lord and turn his kingdom. Did he set you free from

darkness and sin and your past. But now he brings you into a

kingdom, that has great power. They can also heal your life,

heal your body, heal your mind. Heal, Relationships and he'll

everything about you and make you a completely changed and

transformed person in this world because Jesus didn't just teach

to come into the kingdom. He then demonstrated the power

of the Kingdom in his preaching. Amen.

And so we begin to see an any. And I didn't know a lot of this

stuff. I was going to a denominational

church. I went there because the pastor

of the church was the Um, chaplain of the football team

that I played them and so we connected.

But after about six months of going to the church bonding are,

you know, we've gotten married. Now, we're going to church

together and I and they just came to me.

God, there's got to be more than what I've got.

I'm thankful that I'm not out here doing that crazy stuff.

I'm thankful, there's a change. I know there's a change, but I

got weak and I didn't even have a Bible.

I finally, we got sebab and so we found out and I started

reading Matthew Mark and Luke and I said, Woo though, that is

a Jesus right there. Yeah.

He don't remember the, he don't even resemble.

The Jesus and we got here and our church.

Hallelujah, that's the Jesus spoke to me in my dorm room back

there. And my friends introduced me to

man. He was Healing The Sick casting

out demons, I mean he was trying to bring over the devil in every

era. And so I said Lord what is it

that we're missing and the Lord spoke to me and he said, you're

missing the fullness of the holy spirit in your life.

You need the power of the Kingdom in your life.

You don't just need the knowledge of the kingdom and you

don't need to just be in the Kingdom.

You need the power of my kingdom in operation, in your life.

And so I've set out on my quest to find out how to live in a

powerful Christianity. Not just a barely get along

Christianity. Not begin to pursue God.

And I knew that my answer was in the word of God.

Are you hearing me? It wasn't in religion.

It wasn't in denominationalism, it wasn't in philosophies, it

was in the word of God, and I had to find out through the

word. What the kingdom of God is and

what happened to me when I repented and moved over into

God's kingdom. Amen.

Now, look in first Corinthians, the fourth chapter, let me show

you what the Apostle Paul has to say about this.

In First Corinthians, the fourth chapter, the Apostle is is

really correcting. The church are Corinth and you

know, the Corinthian Church they were a carnal Bunch.

Yeah, thank God, they got saved. They got filled the Holy Ghost

and then they got crazy. Hallelujah.

Well, they were already crazy and Paul just, you know, all the

time, he's ministering to him, he's trying to correct him.

But you know what, the sad is this?

I related to a lot of stuff they were doing, hey, men because I

was doing it and I understood now, why Paul was writing these

letters, but Paul is writing to him here in 1st Corinthians,

chapter 4, I want you to, I want you to look at and it will.

I wanted to tie verse 18 in verses 19 to 20 says, now some

of you are puffed up as though, I were not coming to you.

You know, Paul is writing to these people and some of them

have gotten all you know, arrogant and Dated, and I'm

running the show and all this stuff and then acting like, you

know, you'll probably never coming back so we can do what we

want to. And so he says, but I will come

to you shortly if the Lord wills and I will not know the word of

those who are puffed up now, there were there speech.

In other words, I'm not going to come back there and listen to

The Arrogant, puffed-up religious, talking religious,

cliches, empty Idle, Word of Mouth people that are talking

around act like they know something.

When they don't do anything, their life is a mess and all

they're doing is talking and religion.

Are you hearing me? Because here's a man who was out

here, living in religion, as past brother.

He was a Pharisee of the Pharisees and he's out here

doing all his stuff and he found out that wasn't the way the live

Jesus knocked him down one day. It made him sit around and think

about it for a few days until they had another guy come lay

hands on him, so he can see again, amen?

Okay, Lord, I believe we'll just sit there.

I'm going to let you stew on this and since you can't see

anything, you can just think about it.

But he, you know, he comes in. So Paul then says, in verse 24,

the kingdom of God is not in just speech or talk religious

words, but it is in power. One translation says it is, it

is not just a religious Idol work, but it is a empowered life

to live for God. So, even the Apostle Paul later

on, is coming on tying in with the same theme, the Lord says

that the kingdom of God, is an empowered life to do, the things

that God has called you to do. Amen.

Acts 17 6 says that in thessalonica.

They got all upset with everybody and then to get down

to verse 6. It says that this this was the

fussing that the world was thrown at him.

They that have turned the world upside down, have come.

Now here they come here to there.

In other words, there was a group of Believers that were not

religious. They didn't just talk the talk

but they walk the walk, they walked in the revelation of the

power of the kingdom of God. They walked in the revelation of

who they were in. And when they showed up in town,

they did the works of the Lord Jesus.

Because they found out that the kingdom of God is not just a

religious experience that you join a church and you stay the

same, the rest of your life. But the kingdom of God is a

transformation that takes place in your life that God takes you

from weakness to strength. He takes you from defeat to

Victory, he takes you from a nobody to somebody, he takes you

to somebody that nobody wants to be around to somebody that can

change lives and where you go. In the book of Acts is full of

nation changing, amen. Hallelujah, people that moved

and shook Nations shook cities. Why are we not shaking places?

We should be a city shaken Nation, changing World

harvesting bunch of Kingdom, Believers.

That cannot be stopped. Hallelujah, amen.

We should not walk in with idle talk and arrogance about us, but

we should walk into our workplace just being quietly

walking in the authority and the power of the kingdom of God and

under breath, just say, in the name of Jesus, things are

changing in this place. How later God, you did, you put

me here to bring your righteousness, your pee?

He's your joy in the Holy Ghost. I'm here to help people get out

of their bondage. I'm here to live a lie times

here, to let Jesus be Lord in my life and for people's lives to

be changed how they lujah heard. Brother.

Copeland say, years ago, I've been in this for a while.

So this was I won't tell you how many years but anyway, he was a

young guy then, but he said he had this car and he was having

problems with the transmission. So he took it to the mechanic

and he said this mechanic was known to jug, he was the best

mechanic, but he cuss like Like a trooper.

He, I mean, he just just every other words, cussing and so

brother, Copeland said, I just stood over her and said I'd been

listening brother Hagin teach on the authority of the believer

and so he said I just stood over there and had man was underneath

my car cussing and working. I just under my breath said, in

the name of Jesus, I bind that Spirit devil, you're not going

to cuss while you work on my car.

So he said, I didn't say it loud.

He said, I just I just knew who I was.

And he said I'm standing there and he said the fella rolled

himself out on the car said preacher, would you leave for a

while? He said, why he said, cause a

man can't fix this without cussing and I for some reason

can't cuss while you're in my garage.

He said I ain't leaving and you ain't cussing affected.

Hallelujah. Amen.

Somebody says well I don't know if I believe it or not, will

don't worry. It won't work for you.

Hallelujah. You'll be okay.

You don't have to worry about it.

Praise God. Because you see, there's

something that causes all these things to work together and

brings it into the fullness. And that is this, you have to

understand that the power of God's kingdom operates, through

the currency of faith. Faith has to be an operation in

your life, for these things to work in your life.

The Lord Jesus lived every day of his life in faith.

In faith and you see, you got to understand something.

You've got to get over in the faith and you got to understand

something to, you can know the Bible and still not have faith.

Because Faith doesn't just come from knowledge.

Faith comes from relationship. Are you hearing me?

Just because I know about somebody doesn't mean I know

that person and it doesn't mean that have any more access to

them and you do but whenever I have a relationship with them

and I walk with them and they teach me and I learn from them

and I follow their examples and then they're the influence in my

life and they know me and I know them.

Then it brings me into a different realm of working with

them. And we as Christians, who is

citizens of the kingdom of God, have to understand that our

faith doesn't just come because we come to church and hear and

leave and we don't let it change as a Transformer.

Say meant the word is given to us so that we can know God and

enter into relationship with him.

He mad and it's come it comes to give you faith and somebody

says, well you sure brother. Help me.

The faith is that important? Well you can't please God

without faith Hebrews 11:6. You can't get saved without

Hebrews 11:6

faith. He if Asians 289, And you can't

really live unless you live by faith in Galatians 3:11.

Galatians 3:11

Are you hearing me your faith won't work.

Mark 11, 22, 23 and 24. If you don't have faith, you

prayers aren't going to work if you don't have faith.

So I'd say faith is a pretty good thing that have.

Amen. And then faith comes out of a

relationship with God through his word and that word has to

take upon itself life in you You have to begin to and I'm going

to get into what I want to really get in tonight.

You have to really begin to identify yourself with the word

of God and the word of God begins to describe who you are

in this life. Until it changes the way you see

yourself. It changes the way you see

things it changes how your attitude is when you are

confronted with situations and instead of thinking like the

world thinks about it, you think like God thinks, and instead of

letting the flesh, be the first thing that responds, your spirit

man responds because your spiritual walk with God, is

greater than your fleshly walk with the world and my

relationship with God. And the kingdom of God is

greater than my relationship is with the The world in the

kingdom of darkness. Amen, look in Luke's gospel.

The fourth chapter, let me show you the Lord, Jesus shows us

this and gives us this as our example.

In Luke, the fourth chapter will begin a verse 14.

It says, then Jesus returned in the power of the spirit in

Galilee, or to Galilee. And the news of him, went out

through all the surrounding region and he taught in their

synagogues being glorified ball. So, he came to Nazareth where he

had been brought Up. And as his custom was, he went

into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, stood up to read

and he was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah.

And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was

written. The spirit of the Lord is upon

me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the

poor. He has sent me to heal the

brokenhearted, he and to Proclaim Liberty to the

captives. The recovery of sight to the

blind to set at Liberty, those who are bruised oppressed, and

broke down, beaten down to downtrodden to proclaim the

acceptable year of the Lord. Then he Closed.

The book. Gave it back to the attendant

and sat down the eyes of all, who were in The Synagogue were

fixed on him. Now, you stop there.

And Jesus has done nothing more than the Pharisees.

Did Jesus. Just read a passage from the

scripture that encourages everybody.

But the Lord Jesus doesn't stop with just reading the

scriptures. He doesn't stop with just

declaring the scriptures. He doesn't just stop by.

Well, just getting off. You know who he gooey about the

scriptures? He does something that nobody

else has done look, the next verse, you're not done till you

get to verse 21 and he began to say to them today.

This scripture is fulfilled in your hearing, you know, with the

Lord Jesus just did Jesus just came in there and declare it out

of his mouth that he is everything that he just spoke

Come on, Jesus standing in the midst of them.

Just show them who he was, according to what the word says.

Now, there are two keys. I want you to get ahold of here

that the Lord Jesus is showing us.

And the first key is found in Verses 16 and 17, and it says,

so, he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up.

And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the

Sabbath day and stood up to read and he was handed the book of

the prophet Isaiah, and when he had opened the book, now listen,

here's the part. You got to get, he found the

place where it was written. He opened the book he asked for

the scroll. They hand him.

They didn't open it up to Isaiah 61, and he read it.

He with their own purpose and opened it up and read it out

loud. And then in verse 21, he says

everything that you have just heard is standing in front of

you. So what was the first thing that

the Lord Jesus Christ? Did Jesus found his identity and

his purpose in God's word. I will say it.

Again. Jesus discovered or found his

identity of who he is and his purpose on Earth in the word of

God. Now you can be born again,

filled with the Holy Ghost and headed to heaven, and not know

who you are, and not know why your purpose on the earth is

until you get into this book and you read it out loud and let it

talk to you and then you stand up and say that is who I am.

Are you hearing me? This is who I am mr.

Devil lot of nobody. I met somebody in Jesus.

Hallelujah. So you have to identify, this is

who I am. And this is what I can do.

Hallelujah. And the people got upset with

him. Because when you start

identifying yourself, as a citizen of the kingdom of God,

and you identify yourself with What God Says About You

religious people get upset with you because religion says, you

can worship, God, but you can know God.

And religion, says, you go to heaven, but you can't do

anything while you're done here. And religion says, you're Just a

Nobody and you just need to crawl to the Old River.

Sunday and repentance God to forgive you and live that dead

condemned life, right? The Jesus said I came to deliver

you from that Beatdown broke down.

No-account, bruised battered life and set you free,

Hallelujah. So, if you and I are going to be

powerful City. Shaken Nation changing World

harvesting devil. Cashing Out Christians and

citizens of the kingdom of God. The first thing you're going to

do is get in the word and find yourself in God's Bible.

I refuse to identify myself with the world.

I don't identify myself with who I watch him read over and second

Corinthians five, you know, we read verse 70 in Old Town,

therefore, If anyone is in Christ, are a new creation, old

things are passed away, All Things become new and on Verse

18, all things are of God but you know, you get up a couple

verses before that. And Paul says this, if one died,

then all died, therefore none should be live for themselves

and even though we have known Christ in the flesh, we don't

know him that way anymore, and we no longer recognize you in

the flesh. We don't know you Brother

so-and-so, who was, you know, that is Son and not every day.

And the old guy that went down the street of the old guy worked

out. He said, we don't know you as

who you were before, you accepted Jesus in your heart.

We only know you now in the spirit as a new creation in

Christ, Jesus, that those old things are passed away, you're

not a thief, you're not a liar, you're not some old somebody.

You are now a child of the Living God.

And that's the only way we're going to recognize you And what

you got to do is you got to get into the book.

James said it's a mirror. You got to get into this word

until you look in there and go. Oh, there I am.

Whoa, I'm looking good. Thank you.

Jesus. So if you're fighting sickness,

all the time, all you what you doing is, you see yourself as

defeated, but you see, you got to get in the word and all of a

sudden, you start reading first. Peter 2:24 by whose Stripes, you

1 Peter 2:24

were healed and Matthew. A 17 himself bore our sicknesses

and carried your pains and then you get over in Psalm 107 verse

Psalms 107:20

20. He says he sent his word and

healed them and delivered them in their structure.

And you re Psalm 103 says who forgiveth all thine iniquities

and heals all our diseases, and then you go to Exodus. 15:26

Exodus 15:26

says, I'm the Lord, the god that he'll has a and you get in

there. You, I'm Healed, man.

That's who I am and you declare it.

This name Aster devil. This is fulfilled in your

hearing. I want you to hear what God says

about me, because I'm changing my identity.

That loser died on the cross with Jesus and was raised up

more than a conqueror when Jesus came.

Hallelujah. Now I'm an overcomer and Christ,

you see, you have to declare it in the midst of, with all of

them here. I mean, you know, Paul tells

Timothy, he says Jesus held a good confession even before

poly, you know what he told everybody, it didn't matter

whether you liked it, or you didn't like it, who he was.

And you, and I cannot be one thing in this building and

something else in some other building.

This has got to be so real to you.

This is who you are all the time, amen.

So the first thing you got to do is I'm going to find my identity

and my purpose in the word of God.

I'm going to get it. I'm going to declare it.

I'm going to make it who I am. If God said it, I believe it.

That settles it. And you know, the great thing

about is this if you get in the word long enough and talk it,

Long enough, they'll come a day where it will become so real to

you that you won't have to convince yourself, you're that

it'll just come out of you because you have become a sponge

that God. So full of what God says about

you, every time someone touches you, the word comes flowing out

of your mouth and every time the enemy tries to take you down,

you tell him that you're more than a conqueror and you got

anything good question, you just take him to the word and read

the word time. Amen.

There are times. I said now.

Mr. Devil on love, you know, I know, you know, some scripture

cuz you quoted the Jesus I think you can read.

But if you can't, let me show you what I am.

I want you to listen. Now you've been telling me who

I'm not. I'm going to read here and show

you who I am. I want you to hear and you're

hearing mr. Devil, I want you to know.

This is who I am and he'll say, you don't feel like it.

It, I didn't say I am because I feel like it We all look like

this. Say I am because I look like it.

I said, I am because God said it.

And as I keep saying it, I viciously I'm gonna look like

it. And if it is I'm gonna feel like

it and eventually you're gonna have to acknowledge that.

I'm not only have it. I is it?

Hallelujah. Amen.

So we have to follow the Lord's example.

He's our King, he's our Lord and we had to fall and he showed us.

He went specifically to the scripture found the place, ready

to them and just describe this as my Ministry and this is who I

am. And this is what I've come to

do. You have to look anymore for the

anointed one. He standing right here.

Front of you. And folks, we should be able to

stand before. People say, you have to go look

for it anymore for to try to find a real Christian right

here, right here. and we're not like that group over in Corinth,

that Paul was talking about who was arrogant and inflated and

talking things that they weren't Who couldn't put up any fruit

with what they were saying. But the fruit of their life was

the power in their life, this is not bragging when I do it.

Amen. I'll tell you natural situation

at one time I had played golf in my life and and one time I was

decent and before I played more than once a year.

But anyway, we were out in the friend of mine, he still comes

church, he was leading our church and he'd give his heart

to the Lord, you're on the golf course.

And so he told me past you take care of me on Sunday, I'll take

care of you, the rest of the week.

Hallelujah time. You want to play, come on out.

And so he worked with me and helped my game, so some of us By

playing one day and we were on this par 4 and I said, see that

spot right out there and we'll land my ball right out of there.

Well yeah, they started laughing.

So I said help me Jesus how they go but I hit that ball and it

went right down and it landed within two feet of where I said

I was going to end up. And my friend who owns it goes,

she said well it ain't bragging if you can do it.

And walked off. Hallelujah.

Paul was saying a bunch of you a bunch of braggarts and Corinth,

you're not done a thing. You're trying to tell everybody

else what to do, but it's not real to you.

And that's not what the kingdom of God is.

The kingdom of God, is you making it real in your life, and

you discover who you are and your life and then speaking out

of a position of authority, and a physician relationship with

God, that challenges people to come on up to another level and

encourages people. It doesn't condemn people.

It doesn't put them down because Jesus didn't say he was anointed

to condemn people or show them their problems, he was anointed

to bring them life and bring them deliverance and to bring

them healing and to set him free and walk in Victory.

And if you're walking in the power of the kingdom of God,

you're not going to walk in and bring guilt condemnation and

Brokenness to people. You're going to bring healing to

them of all those things and you're not going to go in and

they're not going to get saved because you told him to get

saved, they're going to get saved because they see something

in your life. That is something they want in

their life and they want to have have that in the oven and you

have the opportunity to share with them the Revelation out of

relationship. Who your lord and King?

Yes. And then Jesus operates through

that and brings the kingdom of God into their heart.

See a lot of people want to repent and they want to change

but they don't know how to get it but Jesus said it's right

here. It's right here at hand is right

here before you. You got to repent.

You got to believe on me, and you've got to come and find

yourself in this word. Second thing is this.

He says up here, in verse 14, then Jesus returned in the power

of the spirit to Galilee. The second thing is this Jesus

receive the power to do God's will through the power of the

Holy Spirit. If we're going to see a move of

God, it's got to come through the power of the Holy Spirit.

You know, the Jesus did not do one Miracle until he was

baptized in the Holy Ghost. Amen.

He was just as much the Son of God when he was 25 as he was

when he was 30, but he didn't do any Miracles.

You hear Jesus in the temple discussing the scriptures at the

age of 12 and then you hear nothing else until he shows up

that John's at the River. Jordan.

And Jesus comes up out of the water and he's full of the Holy

Ghost in melee. He begins to bring the kingdom

of God to us. What's he saying?

You saying you cannot operate in the power of the kingdom of God

in your own ability. You need the helper to come into

your life. You need the Holy Spirit.

That's why in Acts chapter 1, he told the disciples, he said,

Acts 1 · chapter mention

listen, don't go out, don't do anything.

Even though I've commissioned you to do this Terry right here,

stay right here in Jerusalem until you are endued with power

from on high. You have to receive that promise

that I told you about the John records, that I will pray the

father and he will send you another Helper and he'll buy

with you forever. And he's the spirit of Truth and

he will guide you into all the truth.

And he will anoint you in equip. You just like, he has me.

He told him in Acts 1:8 but you shall receive power after the

Acts 1:8

Holy Ghost is come upon you and you shall be Witnesses, unto me.

Power ability, you know, an empowered life is what he's

saying. And so, the Lord Jesus show,

shows us that we not only have to know who we are in Christ,

but we have to ask the Holy Spirit to come into an upon us

to empower us to live that revelation Remember it read over

the Old Testament I think is over in Zechariah where he's

telling to the prophet, God speaking to him and he's telling

me he's going to rebuild the Temple.

He's going to do all this stuff and then file he looks at him.

He says oh by the way, I'll paraphrase for you, it's not by

might nor by power but by my spirit going to get this done.

It's not going to be your strength.

You're not going to be able to brag about it.

You're not going to be able to say, look what I did.

You're going to have to understand, listen folks, when

people get healed, it wasn't you, the hill.

Damn. It was the power of the Holy

Spirit flowing through you that God them healed.

When you led somebody to the Lord, it wasn't you who

convicted their heart and brought them to revelation of

Jesus was Lord. It was the Holy Spirit operating

in that situation it when you were praying and seeking God and

all of a sudden Revelation comes to you from what you're supposed

to do. You didn't get that because

you're so worthy of it. You got that because the spirit

of Truth is on the inside of you and he begins to bring to you

the revelation of God's plan and purpose and will, and he begins

to show you how to do these things.

Greatest thing, after being born again, was Winter.

I go, I feel the Holy Spirit. Change my life.

So thankful for what God did how they live and I was in a

denominational Church where they said it wasn't of God.

They thought it would gone away and we didn't do that anymore.

Then he said it's split the church but I read it.

He and I did the church. The Jewish people couldn't

believe that the Gentiles could be gets saved till they heard

him. Talking in tongues, they were,

oh my God. Don't go say that Bunch too.

You better be careful because you know, you might have this

little attitude if you don't want you to develop it and then

somebody that you just knew, God would never use, we can same

feel the Holy Ghost and they'll do something you go.

Oh my God. Whoops, I'm in the wrong group.

I got to get over in the good group.

Hallelujah. Amen.

But what did the Lord do? He got filled the spirit.

He was led by the spirit he operated by the power of the

spirit. When he healed people, what

happened. The power of God would flow out

of him and touch their lives. Change their lives.

You see, God wants us to be transformed citizens of the

kingdom of God. He wants us to get in the word

and locate in the word who we are and identify with What God

Says About Us and begin to, let it changes and begin to let it

heal us. And Deliver Us and and heal up

the hurts and the Brokenness in our lives.

To the point that we can be a whole person, Spirit soul and

body. Mostly physically socially, and

we began to be a positive influence to others.

But God says, now that you've got it, you need to be able to

share it. But to share you need a Helper

and the Holy Spirit will help you.

Now to fulfill what I've called you to do, and He will Empower

you to be able to get it done and he'll help you to touch

other people's lives just like he touched yours.

So, the second thing we're going to do is we're going to get

filled the holy spirit. Amen.

Now, you were there in, Luke chapter 4, look in the fifth

Luke 4 · chapter mention

chapter, I want to bring us to a close because we want a minister

but in Luke Chapter 5 and we'll pick it up here in verse 17

Luke 5 · chapter mention

says. Now, it happened on a certain

day when he was teaching that there were Pharisees and

teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every town

of Galilee Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was

present to heal. Them.

It's pretty plain didn't. And how were they going to get

healed? The power of the Lord was

present to heal them. That means the anointing of the

Holy Ghost was there because he just said in Luke chapter 4, the

Luke 4 · chapter mention

spirit of the Lord has anointed me and he returned in the power

of the spirit. So power Spirit, anointing or

synonymous. Amen.

You can't have the anointing in the power without the spirit.

Come on. So the power of the Lord is

present Hill. It's the spirit of the Lord is

present. He'll the anointing, the Yoke

destroying burden, removing power, and anointing of the Holy

Ghost is present in the Lord right there with him to heal all

these people. Now, look what happens?

Then behold men brought on a bed, a man who was paralyzed,

whom they sought to bring in and lay before him.

And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because

of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and and let him

down with his bed through the tiling into the midst of them.

Whoo, that's a determined group of guys.

We can't get in. Let's just go up there and Hike

away some of the roof and we'll slide.

Why'd you down that way? Now, let's read on when he Jesus

saw their faith their faith. Whose Faith the the faith of

those guys. One says he had four friends

dropping him down when he saw the determination of these men.

The here's what you got to understand.

Apparently, these guys had heard about Jesus and they heard if I

can just get you to Jesus you could, we could get you healed

and when they get there, they're so determined that the crowds

not going to. Cause them to back off or quit.

Nothing's going to hinder them from getting what they came for

and so they're so determined. They said they're in instead of

just accepting defeat and walking.

Also, well, must not been God's will for today, for me to get

this. I said can't get in that way.

Can't get in this way, and somebody, pokes it Yeah, don't

tell anybody we're going to tear his roof off.

I'll hit it yet and they climb up open the roof and they drop

him down. And when Jesus saw their faith,

their determination of faith that refuse to be denied based

on the circumstances, it was confronting it.

A no-fail? No quit, no give up.

I'm not going to go away empty-handed faith.

When Jesus saw that type of determination in these people,

he said to him. The person that was on the, The

Fearless man, your sins are forgiven you, and the scribes,

and the Pharisees began to reason, question argue among

themselves saying, who is this, who speaks blasphemies, who can

forgive sins, but God alone, but when Jesus perceived their

thoughts, he Children said to them.

Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

Why you sitting there question, trying to figure out what I'm

doing? Which is easier to say your sins

are forgiven you or to say rise up and walk.

But that you may know that the son of man has power on the

earth to forgive sins. He said to the man who was

paralyzed, I say to you rise, take up your bed and go to your

home, immediately, he rose up before them took up.

What he had been lying on and departed to his own house

glorifying God, Now, I got to praying about this.

And as I was praying about it and I said, Lord, you looked at

the man who's definitely has infirmity and you turn to him.

He say, your sins are forgiven Then you heal him.

He said, Son, here's the thing. You've got to understand.

I had to correct his identity before I could correct, the

situation. Because the man sees himself as

paralyzed. And the man also sees himself,

a, maybe I sinned and calls this.

So, therefore, he's got guilt. Condemnation inferiority, he

doesn't think he's worthy. That's why his friends are

bringing him to the meeting. And Jesus said, I had to change

his identity. He had to quit, blaming himself

blaming others, feeling like he wasn't worthy feeling, like it

was his sin that got him in that place.

He said I had to Let him know that God loved him and his sins

would be forgiven if he would look to me.

See a lot of Believers today, don't get healed because they

think maybe I did something there listening to entertaining

thoughts from the devil saying you know, it's your fault.

You're not spiritual enough. You haven't prayed enough.

You don't know enough, scriptures.

You haven't been in church enough.

You know what you said last week and a lot of people are

identifying with the cause of their problem and their problem

and not identifying with the Healer and the deliverer of

their problem. so the Lord said I had to deal with the cause

before I could deal with the symptom And in Psalm 103 verse

Psalms 103:3

3, you find forgiveness, and healing working together because

David said, for getting out all thy benefits, who forgives all

your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, and then amazing

David put forgiveness before he prefer Haley.

Why? Because a lot of times, we can't

get healed, because we won't forgive ourselves.

And that forgiveness is a kingdom blessing, that we are to

walk in. Somebody says now, brother

Darryl that you priest like that you're going to give people a

license to sin, and I was just telling they'll send enough

without a license. I don't need They don't need a

license to sin, they do that. I said, know what I'm doing.

So I'm giving him a license out of their mistakes and failures.

I'm showing them that we're sin, did abound God's grace does much

more about and you don't have to lay there and pay for your

mistake because Jesus Paid for on the cross so that you could

be set free from it. And so the Lord was saying to

this, man, no matter what the enemy's telling you, no matter

what things may indeed be in. Mind telling you that you can't

receive this. I'm telling you right now you're

forgiven of and you can And then he looked at the man.

And I believe that man got it, amen?

Because Jesus after he said that and explained it, what's he do?

He turns right around? Because he just said the son of

man. In other words, I have been

given the authority to forgive and help you come out of your

problems and to clean up your mess for you.

Aren't you? Glad he's the same today as he

was then, come on, and so Jesus. Has reached out this man and

changed his entire attitude about himself his situation.

And whether or not he could receive from God, and once he

corrected his belief system and got him to quit, identifying

with the failure, man. This mistake man, The Sinner

Man, and begin to identify it with the king of kings, and Lord

of lords in the Healer, then Jesus could tell him what to do

said. Now, pick up your bed.

Go home, the man, jumped up. What he went from a person being

carried into their on somebody else's Faith to a person, who

realized I can get this with my faith.

God loves me. God will heal me, God will bless

me, God loves me. And he didn't care what anybody

else thought. He just grabbed his stretcher

and I bet that man ran home And if it had been after Pentecost,

he had ran home. Speaking in tongues, Hallelujah.

And see, this is where we're at church.

This where we're at? You cannot operate in faith,

that moves mountains of faith, that moves, the things of the

kingdom of God forward. If your identity is all messed

up with the things of the world, because your faith to move

mountains, operates out of your relationship that you have with

the Lord, Jesus Christ. How many times do you have

somebody coming to the Lord? And they're asking him to do

something? And he looks at me, says, if you

can believe all things are possible to him, who believes,

remember over there? The man came to him about his

son and and Jesus, you know, boys into a seizure.

And the man looked up. He says, I believe Lord help my

unbelief. Now somebody says, what do you,

what do you get? How could you tie that into

Faith? The man, turned to Jesus at

basically, I wouldn't have brought him here.

If I didn't know, you could do it or believe you could do it.

I believe you can do this. But I'm dealing with doubts and

fears and worries. The Lord.

I tell you what I'm going to do, I'm going to use all the faith.

I've gotten put the rest of it in your hands.

Is that okay? Help my unbelief.

You know, what are you saying? Lord, I'm going to believe you

with the little seed that I've got.

I'm going to put everything else in your hands.

How it happens when it happens. What you got to do to make it

happen. Your will be done.

I just believe it's going to happen.

Amen. And what did Jesus do?

He moved right? In that situation, that man,

didn't call him. Scriptures that did that, man

did, but what did he do? He had come to the place where

he realized that Jesus was who he said he was, and he could do

what he said he could do. Do and he moved into a position

of receiving not based on what he had or having everything.

Perfect. But just the fact that Lord, I'm

going to put myself in your hands.

I'm going to believe you and I'm going to put it in your hands to

make it happen. Amen.

And we're getting ready to put things in God's hands right now.

I've told the story, my son says, dad my dad tell stories

all the time. Well, I don't know.

I've been in this 47 years so it's sometimes you get some

storage. Praise God.

But I told the story but I, you know, dealt with Mark 16.

I was going to hold a healing service and I hadn't got to pray

a whole lot that day and things that come up and you know,

usually when I'm going to do healing and your, I like to

separate and pray and fast that they had do some on the spot

counseling, some other things and this and that and finally I

just just had to get my Bibles time to go the service and I go

there and biggest crowd we've had yet.

And I went back into a prayer room, so God, Jesus.

I need to be anointed because I got a good crowd out tonight and

if something don't happen, they won't come by next time.

Now you got to remember this is 1979, I wasn't but 24 years old

or so 25. So you know, I was young guy.

And so I'm back there. And I'm begging, the Lord and

the Lord said, read Mark 16. Verses 15 through 20.

I said, Lord, I don't need redone quarter to he said, I

didn't tell you to quote it. I said read, it's open my bible

up, go into all the world, preach the gospel, you know.

He believes is baptized shall be.

He believed in. I should be condemned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe, and I said,

that's it. I need some signs tonight.

He said, keep reading Some went right on down there, lay hands

on the sick, cast out demons, studded got down in the Lord and

they went forth and preached everywhere.

The Lord working with them and confirming the word through the

signs fall. I said, that's it.

I need some signs. He said, read Mark, 16, verses

Mark 16:15–20

15 through 20. Again, I said I just read.

He said, read it again so I read it out loud again.

Got down the same thing, reacted the same way.

I said, yes, Lord, that's what I need signs and wonders need some

feelings. You said, read Mark?

16? Verses 15 through 20.

So this time I said, Lord, I must be a little slow here

because I believe that you're trying to get a point across and

I'm just not getting it. You know, if you don't just stop

and ask the Lord, he'll keep telling you the same thing.

I said, what is it that I'm missing?

He said, okay, So who's going to do the preaching tonight?

That's what verse 15. Me me.

I'm going to preach. He goes.

That's Right. He said who's going to lay hands

on the sick tonight? I said, well me again.

He said who's going to heal them.

I said, well I ain't going to be me.

I couldn't heal him. He says that's right.

Who's going to heal? My said you are then he said

this, can you do your part? I said yes, sir he said, Do you

believe I can do my part? And I said, yes, sir!

He said then let's go out and kill these people.

Lord, I believe help my unbelief.

Are you hearing me, folks? Listen to me what I shared at

for this, you don't have to be perfect operate in the power of

the kingdom of God. You just have to have a perfect

heart, wanting to serve the Lord and get in there and find out

who you are and live. It Are you hearing me?

Let's pray. Father, we thank you for your

word. We thank you, Lord, that you

came to establish the kingdom of God in our hearts and lives in

order. I thank you and praise you.

That we have the right and the privileged operating in the

power of your kingdom and to doing your works and to seeing

lives changed. And Lord, you said you came to

heal the brokenhearted the downtrodden, those who had been

oppressed and beat down by the things of the world.

Lord, you said you came to open our eyes to see truth.

Lord, I want to thank you tonight that you're the same

Lord. You came to he'll deliver and

make us whole and Lord. You said the way we do that.

As we get to a place where we're just tired of the old worldly,

life were living. And we realized that a new life

is right at hand. It's right here and we can move

over into a through faith and trusting you and receiving you.

And so, the Lord Jesus right now, I thank you for your grace

and your mercy. Goodness, being poured out, the

Lord. I want to thank you right now

that just like you spoke to that.

That that paralyzed mind on that stretcher.

You let him know first, then no matter what had caused it.

He didn't have to pay that price, you already did. and

Lord, no matter what we've done, you've already paid the price of

the forgiveness And Liberty, and deliverance could come in our

lives and Lord with that forgiveness, and Liberty comes a

faith that reaches out. And says, yes, Lord, I am who

you say I am and I can do what you said I can do.

Thank you, Lord for speaking to Arts, speaking to lives,

speaking to each and every one of us, two things each and every

one of us need to do tonight. And as I was spend some time

going through these notes and praying over this message.

Getting ready. And then during the worship

service, I always liked being with her is good worship and

praise because many times while I'm praising and worshiping the

Lord with the praise team when they're hearing from God and

worship in and churches grow, Lord speaks things to me.

He's changed my entire message sometimes on the last song.

Praise God. But one of the things, the Lord

spoke to me while I was there. He said there's some folks in

here tonight. First of all, they've been beat

up by the world. He said, they need to come and

receive a fresh anointing of the holy spirit.

Let me heal up there, hurts and Brokenness.

And then the second thing, the Lord spoke to me and he said,

was this, there's healing in the house tonight.

There's healing in the house tonight.

I believe there's going to be some Supernatural healings, take

place in this place. If you got infirmity in your

body, you need to lay hold of that right now.

You need to get hold of it. And here's the thing.

The four guys have brought the man that was paralyzed on the

stretcher. They had Faith, determined

Faith. They got him in the presence of

Jesus, but when Jesus spoke to him, the man still had to use

his own faith to get up off of that stretcher and go home.

When Jesus said, take up your bed and walk, he had to act in

faith and belief because whenever he said it, the man was

still on a stretcher, you know, the Lord calls you delivered

while you're still in bondage. You know, the Lord calls you a

whole when you're still broken. Then once you have to do is come

to a place where you enter into Faith with him, that you agree

with what Jesus says about. You more than what your symptoms

or the world says about you. And when you come to, that place

you come into the same place of that gentleman, who came to

Jesus, and brought his son and said, I took him to disciples,

and they couldn't help, but if you can do it, and Jesus spoke

to him, What did Jesus say is not all?

Just me, you have a part two. You have to believe you have to

connect with me. You have to agree with me.

You have to come in and and let me be the word in your life.

Not what you see or feel. Now I don't know what you've

been going through, but I want to tell you, this is a kingdom

Raja. What that means?

That means we need to leave the kingdom of God, rise up on the

inside of us and around us, and be changed and transformed by

the power of the word and by the power and the anointing of the

holy spirit, amen? Because I'm going to go back to

what I wrote it down, I was praying.

The Lord said, I want my people to become City.

Shaken Nation changing World harvesting Unbelievers.

So that when they show up, they that have turned the world

upside down. Have now come here that's who

we're supposed to be. A men stand with me all over

this house. Thank you so much for listening
