-
The Lord's good. I said the Lord is good and his
-
Mercy endures forever. If you have, your Bible turn
-
over to Joshua chapter 3, as you're turning there.
Joshua 3 chapter mention
-
I want to thank those who served the st.
-
Augustine Beach police. So, if you sewed food, if you
-
help, prepare it, if you help package it, or if you went to
-
the police department, yesterday to serve it, would you stand up,
-
please? Come on.
-
We just stand up. Amen.
-
Again, thank you so much for that.
-
Now, the rest of you, I trust that you are praying yesterday
-
at 4 p.m. when we went there and I went and met with the chief of
-
police and he was very grateful that, we, once again,
-
demonstrated are honoring of those that are in Authority,
-
again, they express that, it's tough.
-
These days, a lot of things are going on.
-
In fact, there was an officer that fell and went on a ER, call
-
actually to determine did someone shoot someone's cat and
-
they got shot in the head. And they died.
-
So you know so here's the chief say it talking to his his team
-
is got to remind them why we do what we do and why we keep
-
coming. Because you understand, when you
-
have that kind of threat, every time you show up that can get in
-
your head, are you with me? So we need to pray over a cat
-
guys. Now, the Bible tells us that
-
there will be in the end times Lawless. - all right.
-
So these things aren't unusual but it cost people's lives.
-
All right, so lawlessness will abound.
-
So we need to pray God places people in authority.
-
And again, if you have a problem with authority, then you
-
actually have a problem with God because the word Lord Jesus
-
Christ, is Jesus Christ, is that is not a religious word that
-
literally means Supreme in. T.
-
So if you have a hard time submitting to Jesus's Authority,
-
then you're going to have a hard time being in the Kingdom of
-
God. In fact, you won't be in it at
-
all. All right, we do not have a
-
relationship with Jesus, just because we want to avoid hell.
-
That's not why we're born again because we want to avoid hell.
-
We want to avoid going to prison for everything we've done wrong.
-
So we'll take Jesus blood cover ourselves with it, but still do
-
everything. We've done on the earth and say,
-
remember, when I prayed that pray, prayer, so your blood
-
would cover me. So I won't go to hell.
-
That's not what brings you in the kingdom of God.
-
It's a submitted life where you love the Lord, your God, with
-
all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
-
You follow his teachings because his teachings are life.
-
Peter said where we going to go, you have words.
-
Of Life understand and it's, you know, that's not so crazy
-
because think about it. Everyone in this room, typically
-
is following somebody based upon what they said, you know.
-
Well, I don't believe that Jesus stuff.
-
Well then, who do you believe? Because you're believing based
-
upon someone's word and once The credibility of that source and
-
how long have they been around? Because Jesus have been around
-
forever. Hallelujah, I said he's been
-
around forever so we have the most reliable.
-
Well Source, we have God himself.
-
So again we appreciate you coming and being a part of that,
-
we had a great time with them. In fact, the the, the chief of
-
police had given the mugs out to those, and then he gave me a
-
coin. He said, I'm in ex-military,
-
says, you know, we're about coins and he's, so he gave it to
-
me. He give it in a handshake and he
-
says, I'll take that since you're out there.
-
I won't leave you hanging. Okay, so he puts it in Palmer's
-
Hannah's, the transfer through a hand, stay he handshake.
-
He said, when President Trump was here, he didn't know that
-
and I had to teach him, right? So that tells me, I have the
-
same coin that the president has.
-
That's what I'm saying. Okay.
-
All right, are you over and Joshua?
-
I said, are you over in Joshua? Hey man, so good.
-
I mean I can just run up and down these aisles and get all of
-
you. So if I see you sleep in, I'm
-
coming by all right, you may not see me because it's dark here.
-
Can you see me? I should have ordered brighter
-
shirt or something. Maybe yellow.
-
Okay, Joshua. Chapter 3, verses 4 and 5.
-
I'm a readout of the complete Standard Bible, okay?
-
I think that's what that translation is the csb, but it
-
reads like this. But keep a distance of about a
-
thousand yards between yourselves and the arc.
-
Don't Go Near it so that you can see the way to go for.
-
You haven't traveled this way before, Joshua told the people
-
consecrate yourselves because the Lord will do wonders among
-
you. You tomorrow.
-
All right. Now I know Pastor Mike recently
-
ministered on you know consecrate yourself while Pastor
-
Marcy and I was way in Vancouver and I'm thankful for these
-
messages that God begins to prepare things.
-
All right? And so tonight, I what I want to
-
do is I just want to talk to you, I'm a minister from the
-
word, okay? But it's in context to our house
-
specifically. So again, if you are a
-
first-time guest, you're coming in on something that we've been
-
striving and walking. And moving towards.
-
And and it's an expression that comes with the household of God,
-
with those that are in the body of Christ that they go from
-
Faith to Faith, glory to glory that, as you come into the
-
kingdom of God, as a new Believer, by confessing that
-
Jesus Christ died on the cross, and that he rose from the dead.
-
And that his blood was enough for the payment of our
-
Disobedience. To God, when we do that and make
-
him, Lord Of Our Lives. We become a new creature in
-
Christ. The I passed away, behold All
-
Things become new in the spirit. Problem is we still got a
-
messed-up mind. When we get born again.
-
Good news is God, comes and lives on the inside of us.
-
He Bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God and
-
he begins to instruct us, and he begins to change our thinking as
-
we yield to it. If we don't yield to, it will
-
stay carnal as we talked about on Sunday, but God doesn't want
-
us to stay carnal. God wants us to grow in the
-
things of God and be all that God has called us to be, as I
-
said on Sunday at at Current times, you know?
-
And when there's a baby and there's a baby in the house
-
right now. Hudson, Earl James is in the
-
house right now, okay? Everything in Hudson, Earl
-
James. Everything in him, is there, but
-
he's not talking today. He's not walking today, he's not
-
feeding himself today, but it's any and as as his parents,
-
continue to train him, Yeah. Come on.
-
Then those things that are there will come out if they don't, if
-
they left him alone, he won't make it.
-
He won't make it. God said, he'll never leave you
-
nor forsake you. He said he didn't leave you as
-
an orphan, which means he has taken responsibility for your
-
new life in him. But you have to yield to his
-
training. You know how many van little
-
toddlers, right? You put down some sweet peas,
-
you know this the sweet peas all messed up in there and you go to
-
feed them and they're like right now, like, but it's good for
-
you, right? Have you tasted it?
-
That's not the point. It's that the, this is good for
-
you. So he not taste great and
-
sometimes the word, don't feel good to your flesh, but it's
-
good for you. And so what do you do?
-
You try to make it more palatable.
-
All right. Here you're coming right, you
-
gotta get that. Boom, and you throw it in their
-
mouth. Here comes the plane, right?
-
Cause you're trying to get something in them, that's going
-
to make them stronger. Hallelujah.
-
So we ourselves have to continue to grow and become stronger.
-
So we as a church being here for 14 years now in st.
-
Augustine. You know, God has grown us
-
continues to grow us. And every time we grow, then he
-
has Expressions that he does with his body.
-
He men and he has waves that he does with his Spirit.
-
Hallelujah. I said Hallelujah.
-
So tonight I want us to look at this passage of I'm gonna break
-
it down just a little bit for us because man, God's taking us
-
somewhere. Great.
-
Do you believe that amen? Aren't you aren't you ready to
-
come out of the Wilderness? I said, aren't you ready to come
-
out of the Wilderness? Maybe you've been walking around
-
something for a very long time, thinking.
-
When are we going to get there? I'm telling you.
-
We are at that moment where now it's time.
-
I said now it's Tom to come out of the dryer Place into the
-
place flowing with milk and honey and God's.
-
The one who's provided it. You didn't do anything for the
-
milk and honey. God always provided that for
-
you. In the wilderness, he trains you
-
and what's he doing in the trainee to obey him at his word.
-
That's the only reason why we get out in the dry place.
-
It's so that will were that man shall not live on bread alone,
-
but I had of out of every word that proceeds out of the mouth
-
of God. And when you get Then he'll
-
Usher you into your promised land.
-
And we're at this place that Joshua has at at this moment
-
where it's time to leave the dry place.
-
And it's time to get over into the land flowing with milk and
-
honey. Now, when you get into the land
-
flowing with milk and honey, that does not mean that there's
-
not going to be challenges, but that's okay.
-
God is with you, he's for you, he's not against you, he's in
-
you. He's upon you.
-
Hallelujah. Yeah.
-
And so I believe God is taking us.
-
We they're just seasons of ministry and we're on this
-
thing, man. This verse that we're moving
-
into an overflow of something great.
-
But in this, here's Joshua, he's standing before the people,
-
Moses, God's servant is dead. He's no longer there.
-
And Joshua is the one who's going to take the people into
-
the promised land. But before they can cross over
-
the Jordan, the Lord says to them.
-
Keep a distance. What that means is It's a vision
-
of something within sight but not yet upon.
-
So you got to keep a distance. I see it.
-
I can't. It's there.
-
I gotta keep my distance cause what it's fixing to do.
-
I need to make sure I see it. Are you with me?
-
I need to make sure I see it. I'm telling you today, you need
-
to prepare your hearts to be able to see the spirit.
-
You need to prepare your heart and say to yourself.
-
You know what, I'm going to be in a position, I'm gonna get,
-
keep my distance. I'm going to be in a posture
-
where I can see what the glory of God's doing.
-
Are you with me? The next phrase he says is keep
-
your distance between yourselves and the Ark.
-
Well, what's the ark represent? Because yourself is you that's
-
you, right? Right.
-
Well, the ark represents the presence and glory of God, the
-
anointing. Are you with me?
-
So he's saying now listen, keep your site.
-
Towards the anointing. And the presence of God, keep
-
your eyes focused on the spirit of God.
-
Are you with me? Because you understand, if you
-
eyes are not focused on the spirit of God, then you're not
-
going, we're God's going. What did Moses say?
-
The spirit of God manifested while they were in the
-
wilderness and the pillar of Life Cloud by day and a pillar
-
of Fire by night and and the glory would rest upon the tent
-
and settle there and then when the glory The tent then they
-
would follow it wherever it goes.
-
They break the tent down and they begin to go.
-
And I remember Moses had a conversation with God, the
-
father and he said, father, listen, if you don't go with us,
-
we're not going. Amen.
-
And if we don't watch out too often, we will see something,
-
besides the move of the spirit will start looking for our own
-
Direction and we'll start heading out into a place that
-
the presence of God's not going and what he has to tell he's
-
telling them. He says, now listen, you had the
-
presence of God in a pillar of clock Cloud by day and a pillar
-
of Fire by night, but he's changing the way you see him,
-
God, manifested himself. Myself in that dry place, where
-
he allowed things that they had to not wear out.
-
It had like long life, he put up with so much Rebellion for the
-
sake of another generation, but it's that generation rose up and
-
the other one died out and he said, now it's time to do a new
-
thing with them and he said this, I provided Manna for you.
-
I brought it to you. I took care of that for you, but
-
I'm fixing to take you into a place that you take the
-
authority and go get the stuff when they went into the promised
-
land. No.
-
At the minute they ate the fruit of the promised land man.
-
Equip manifesting Mana was the Manifest presence of God's
-
provision but in the new place he did something different.
-
Are you with me? So we've gotta keep this vision
-
of the spirit of God make sure that we're keeping a distance
-
where we can clearly see have a hearts in a position.
-
Where said, Okay God I'm at a place that I am looking to you.
-
I'm looking to your presence and To your anointing.
-
The next thing it says, Don't Go Near it, talking about the
-
presence of God meaning stay in a place where you can clearly
-
see us Direction. Clearly stay in the place where
-
you can clearly see its direction.
-
That means don't anticipate, but expectantly wait because what
-
happens is a lot of us. Maybe you're a first-time
-
guessing, you've not been in what they call a Full Gospel
-
Church, or what they call a church, that flows in the spirit
-
of God or by the spirit of God, you know, maybe you're just used
-
to someone being a lecturer from the word, give you some things
-
that you need to do in life and you take it as you can and walk
-
out the door. But you know what?
-
God had another life intended for us.
-
His children that is to be anointed by the spirit of God
-
with power. And in that power, they would do
-
the works of Jesus. The Same Works.
-
He did. And what worse did Jesus do we
-
heal the sick? He cast out Devils.
-
He raised the dead. Are you with me?
-
He walked by faith. He calls his faith to
-
materialize. He spoke to some of the storms.
-
He spoke to plants everything, listen to the voice of God and
-
he said the works. I do even greater worse.
-
Will you do? Because I go to Dad, and I'm
-
going to send him and put him on all of you.
-
So it won't just be one of me doing this.
-
All of you be able to do it. Hallelujah.
-
Because our God is not some idle where the hands can't move.
-
The eyes. Can't see the ears can't hear
-
the mouth can't speak. The nose can smell.
-
Feet, can't walk. No, he's alive, he's alive, he's
-
alive. Are you with me?
-
So, this means don't approach in your thinking.
-
What happens is we say, don't go near his saying.
-
Don't think that, you know, what, God's doing there, because
-
he's fixing to do something. Maybe you've not seen, and
-
you've got to be sensitive to say.
-
Okay, where is he moving the presence of God.
-
What's he going to do in me? That's different than what he's
-
ever done before. You got to be able to
-
expectantly, wait but not anticipate thing.
-
And oh, yeah, I've been here. I'm gonna go and you may step
-
out on a way. God used to move, but he ain't
-
moving that way in there. Are you with me, huh?
-
Oh man, that worship is going good.
-
You know, I sense. I'm my you better wait and make
-
sure that's what the sphere is doing.
-
Are you with me? Why?
-
Because the next phrase we see here is, you haven't traveled
-
this way before. That means, god is ready to use
-
you in a way. You've never been used before.
-
God is ready to use you in a way.
-
You've never been used before. In fact, you thought about being
-
used that way you haven't been used that way and now all of a
-
sudden God wants to use you that way or maybe you were used that
-
way a little bit and he says I'm going to turn it up and use it
-
that way more. Hallelujah.
-
I've never laid hands on somebody in public before but I
-
just seems like the Holy Ghost is saying You hear what I'm
-
saying? Man, will hear the church I've
-
prayed for people. You know, we prayed over people
-
and when people came down to the altar, you know, I work that
-
area Ministry and I was praying, I've seen the anointing in my
-
life and being able to speak over there.
-
But all of a sudden here, I am in the past checkout line and
-
Walmart, and the person beside me, I've got something
-
happening. Something on the insides,
-
telling me what's going on in their life and wants me to turn,
-
and he's never used me that way before.
-
Hallelujah, he's doing something.
-
So, he's taking us by the spirit, in a way.
-
Maybe, you haven't been used that way, didn't think he would
-
want to use you that way. But let me tell you this, God
-
moves on his people as he Wills For one purpose to bring
-
edification within the body and to show the world that God loves
-
them and needs them to change, that they can't come to him that
-
way, are you with me? Have you ever been used where
-
maybe you stood at somebody? And says, if you don't turn and
-
get your life right, you will die and go to hell so well
-
that's bull Pastor. You know what sometimes
-
boldness? Like that's necessary for
-
certain individuals. Jesus walked him said you
-
brought a Vipers. You got to be, so there's
-
nothing. Jesus did outside the spirit.
-
Because Jesus was walking in the spirit on everything he had the
-
spirit without measure and everything.
-
He did, he did led by the spirit.
-
Are you with me? And the same?
-
Jesus changed, you and put that spirit in you and put him upon
-
you so that you can talk in the language of the kingdom of God.
-
But not just the language. It's the power.
-
You receive that caused a language to come out.
-
You need to focus on the power more than Just the language
-
alone too often. What we do is we focus on the
-
language but we're not wearing when Jesus said, he said when
-
the Holy Ghost comes upon you, you going to speak in another
-
tongue. He a side power.
-
Now he did communicate that. Listen just what's going to
-
happen when I leave you go therefore and Make Disciples of
-
all Nations, right? Baptized in the name of the
-
father, son, the Holy Spirit and he will say that you'll you'll
-
you'll cast out Devils, you'll few pick up a servant serpent
-
you know or drink any deadly poison, you know you won't hurt
-
you but any and say you'll speak in new tongues.
-
Thanks now known languages in the earth as not new tongues.
-
Me speaking, fluently in Spanish right now is not a new tongue.
-
Hallelujah. No.
-
Will speak in the language of the Kingdom.
-
A Heavenly tongue that our mind is unfruitful in.
-
But our spirit, I said his spirits talking to our spirit
-
and he's praying out the perfect will of God man, but so too
-
often. We focus on that instead of the
-
power that comes. That's what we need to focus on
-
because Peter when he went, by the gate beautiful, he didn't
-
say, hey, beggar said we're going to have none but listen to
-
this heavenly language, I have He said, silver and gold.
-
I have none that just many. I don't have it on me because he
-
wasn't broke. But he says, but what I do have
-
and what did he have? He was there on the day of
-
Pentecost, he was there when the Holy Ghost fell in the upper
-
room, he was there. When the power hit him, it was
-
in him. He knew it the same spirit that
-
raised Christ from the dead lives in me.
-
What Jesus did, I'll do he said I could do it.
-
I know, I haven't now, I can do it.
-
He said, what I have, I give to you, get up, walk in the name of
-
Jesus. And he did Hallelujah.
-
I said he did but you gotta know, you have power not just a
-
language too often. We just think we have a
-
language, we got more than a language.
-
We have power for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of
-
power love and a sound mind glory to God.
-
Whew, we're not barely getting along in this life.
-
We are more than conquerors are not more than conquerors from
-
the grave. We're more than conquerors now.
-
We rule and reign in this life. If you'll learn who you are in
-
Christ, most just want the Jesus that gets them to heaven, but
-
Jesus is crying over those people saying, my gosh, it's not
-
about getting you up here. It's about getting me down
-
there. When you leave your Earth suit,
-
you'll be with me, but I need you and On Assignment down there
-
if Jesus wanted you there. Then why did he say pray this
-
way? Our Father, which art in Heaven.
-
Hell, Hallowed. Be Your Name, Your Kingdom, your
-
will be on know why is he wanted done on Earth?
-
Why don't we just pull? You on out the minute, you get
-
born again. Why is he praying in John
John 17 chapter mention
-
chapter 17 father? I'm sending them into the world
-
as you sent me into the world. Well how in the world did the
-
father send? Jesus.
-
He sure didn't send him till he got baptized by John and the
-
Holy Ghost fell upon him. Then he went preaching, you
-
won't find him preaching. To the Holy Ghost came upon the
-
Son of God who knew no sin. Jesus and send up to that point.
-
Jesus didn't know any sin, he didn't need the Holy Ghost to
-
keep him out of sin. He was already living sinless.
-
He needed a holy ghost for the power to be able to hear what
-
the father was saying in heaven so that I don't do my own will.
-
But what he tells me to do, I don't seek my own will or my own
-
initial only say what the father says only do what the father
-
does, and I've gone a different way.
-
I've never gone before, and that is, when I was up in glory, I
-
did it all. But now, 50 myself put myself in
-
a skin suit, I'm just like, man. And I need to Holy Ghost in
-
here, Daddy! Hallelujah.
-
And when he was full of the spirit, the first place he win,
-
was to the Wilderness and told the devil bowed himself and
-
said, there's a new sheriff in town and you're gonna try to
-
deceive me to take what I'm going to get.
-
When I go down on the cross, I get down in the grave, I'll take
-
death, he'll take the keys to death, hell and the grave, and
-
then I'll raise back up. Take my blood personally, put
-
out on The Mercy, Seat in heaven, and then I'll calls
-
every human being that It calls on my name to act like I do in
-
the planet. So he said, Lord the way you
-
sent me, I'm sending them and he says I'm asking you not to take
-
them out of the world. But to protect them from the
-
evil one. And how does he protect, how has
-
Jesus and the father protected us from the evil one?
-
He gave us the Holy Ghost. He gave us the Holy Ghost, the
-
Holy Ghost has never lost a battle to the devil.
-
Your mind has Your flesh has. Your mind has well, you know, to
-
bet Devils just beat me up. Well, if you're a child of God,
-
he's not, but he's beating up the one that's allowing which is
-
your brain was hard. Quit thinking like that who's in
-
you the creator of Heaven and Earth on the inside of you.
-
My gosh. Greater is he that's in you than
-
he that's in the world. How in the world?
-
Could you think the devil could destroy you with you beat?
-
You put you down? You're made in the DNA of God.
-
Your spirit man is now in the creation of Christ, your God
-
Class. Come on, say I'm a God class.
-
You're gonna Clash your sons and daughters of God now.
-
Oh, glory to God. Hey man.
-
Maybe there's a stronger anointing over on this side of
-
the same swear. I don't know.
-
Maybe, maybe we just need to preach on this side a little bit
-
more. I don't know.
-
We'll see what happens. Sunday.
-
Hey man. So listen, we're keeping our
-
DIY. Meaning, we're keeping ourselves
-
in view that we don't have any undistracted or anything within
-
our vision that that is an obstacle or what?
-
I'm trying to think of the word obscures our vision.
-
Too often we allowed the busyness of Life, the cares of
-
Life, all these things we run up in the church, we run out of
-
church, we run into our Bible run out.
-
We have no real Clarity of what God's doing at all because we
-
fill it with so much stuff. He's saying, hey, get some
-
distance man. Get yourself out there and get
-
to clear picture of what's going on because the presence in the
-
annoying that God is on the move and don't think, you know what
-
it's all about because he's doing a new thing.
-
You he's taking you to a place you've never been before.
-
Are you with me? Then he goes on and says
-
consecrate yourself. Pastor Mike talked about this,
-
but that just literally means cut off the Flesh and draw near
-
to God. You understand God went after
-
you, when you were separated, when you didn't know who God
-
was, when you were running from God, you didn't.
-
He won't God. But God showed up on your
-
doorstep, showed up through a person, showed up through a
-
gift, showed up through some prayer, showed up to communicate
-
to you. You need Jesus, he rang you
-
down, he was running you down, he was going after you but the
-
minute you said here I I am Lorde.
-
I'll accept Jesus. He said now, you come follow me.
-
He said, come what he don't run you down now.
-
Oh, I'm preaching. No no matter how far you get out
-
of God. Gotta come get you.
-
God will stand at his door and say come home.
-
Child of God, you want to stay out there in the bar.
-
You want to stay out there in the club you want to stay out
-
there in sin. You can.
-
I can't make you but I'm saying, come home come follow me, the
-
Bible says draw near to God. Oh now you drawing there when
-
let's meet halfway see when the Prodigal Son came back to the
-
house he didn't go visit. A prodigal son at the bar.
-
He didn't visit the prodigal son and his party's.
-
He didn't visit prison. Visit the product.
-
Oh son and all of his adventures he sure didn't visit him when he
-
got down and out and needed a job then send him any money.
-
The sun I hear you down and I just want you to know.
-
I love you. It's so I'm going to send you an
-
offering and because you won't you know Mama cares.
-
No, he said he's out there. I'm praying for him, he's got to
-
come back. He knows where I'm at, I ain't
-
left. He didn't go show up when he was
-
in pig slop. But then son finally realize my
-
gosh, I'm in pig slop if you quit running after your kids and
-
let them smell the Stitch there in maybe they'll come home.
-
Finally, this stinks. Now I think about it there's
-
pretty good guy you know maybe I'm an idiot.
-
This is kind of silly maybe my way is not the best way.
-
I think I'm gonna go home now. I'm not worthy to go home
-
because I've done wrong and so I'm going to go home and ask Dad
-
to forgive me. Well, Dad want cuz wasn't
-
thinking about whether he was worthy, he just need to know.
-
Was he in humility and was in Repentance of the life?
-
He was living And so when Dad was there praying for him, you
-
know where he was at the house, praying for her son, I believe
-
he's coming home, Lord, pray hedge of protection around the
-
best she can. I hope he gets things, right,
-
because if he's going to be right, he's got to come back.
-
Then all of a sudden, look up on the hill, and he's seen that
-
figure before, why? Because he knows you, He knows
-
that when you really begin to worship, he knows that when you
-
really begin to sew in faith, he knows that when you really are
-
coming back around and you've humbled yourself and say, Dad, I
-
blew it, I blew it, Dad I didn't do right?
-
Dad, I didn't do right Dad, he knows it.
-
And when he sees that he don't wait for you to come to the
-
door, he'll come meet you while you draw near to him, he'll come
-
draw near to you when he shows up and he hears you say, Dad I'm
-
sorry I shouldn't have done it. I was Wrong.
-
Will you forgive me? And then Dad.
-
I'm really not worthy. He shuts down the were unworthy
-
talking. He says, hey, put on the Rope
-
son, put on this robe of righteousness right here, son.
-
So I'm put on this road right here here.
-
See this ring right here. Put the authority back, son.
-
You got dr-40 come on, back to the house, and we throwing that
-
party. Why?
-
Because you were lost in your own mind, but now you got your
-
mind, right? And you've shown back up and
-
everything that I have is still yours.
-
Hallelujah, I'm telling you God wants to do something great in
-
your life. Hey man.
-
He's raising up a church to do something and when we consecrate
-
ourselves cut off the flesh, draw near to God, He will draw
-
near to you cuz the greater ones on the inside of you, then the
-
Lord will do wonders among you. I'm telling you God wants to do
-
wonders among you. God wants to do wonders among
-
you. I said, God wants to do wonders
-
among you. Kenneth E Hagin who's gone on to
-
be with the Lord. In 2003 of September, had a
-
particular word, concerning the move of God in the last days, he
-
Spoke this word in 1980 and I don't have time to read it all.
-
I'm not going to real all but there's this one particular is a
-
couple paragraphs. Here are some excerpts that I do
-
want to read because I want you understand where we're at, as
-
anchor Faith Church. And if you're a first-time
-
guest, good news is you're coming in on this.
-
Now, with that being said, when you come in on it, what's
-
happening here? You're going to be able to draw
-
from it from where you're at. From where you're at.
-
Because God is pouring out his Spirit on All Flesh.
-
But when it comes on All Flesh, is where you're at.
-
I said, it's where you're at. So wherever you're at, if
-
there's something he comes upon you and begins to say, whoa, we
-
going to take care of that. We take that off will do this.
-
Maybe he's never talked to you about that before, but he's
-
taking you somewhere, you've never been before.
-
Glory never talked to me about that attitude.
-
You never talked to me about doing that particular action.
-
You've never talked to me and he says, when I'm taking you
-
somewhere. You've never been before and it
-
can't go with you. Are you with me?
-
I'm taking you somewhere, but he said this, he says, and so, in
-
these days, there shall come a mighty manifestation of the
-
spirit and the word that God intended should be done in the
-
last day. In these last days, shall be
-
accomplished for the time is short, and things must be
-
speeded up and you'll learn much faster, spiritual things than
-
those of yesteryear. Do you believe that there's a
-
time that if you'll submit yourself to the will of God and
-
the word of God, that God can grow Oh, you quicker than those
-
of yesteryear. I believe that because God is
-
going to need all hands on deck and get you Supernatural
-
training, but it only comes with the same thing passed the test.
-
Doer of the word I hear. It's what he said.
-
I get into action. As contrary, I'm going to do is
-
were passed the test next training.
-
If you don't pass the test, you're still stuck there.
-
Are you with me and you'll develop much faster and it will
-
be said of some that they jerk virtually matured overnight and
-
that's good news. You want to grab hold of that.
-
Say it's not gonna take me as long as everybody else to grow
-
up. It's not gonna take me as long.
-
I can grow up and grow up quicker.
-
Man, I want to look at it. You and say, my gosh, man, it
-
didn't take them as long to do what I did.
-
And what I did in the time I did it it don't like they got
-
faster. That's good news, cause we're
-
dancing. The kingdom, it's not
-
competition. It's about advancing him.
-
It goes on and says it this way it says, and they shall go forth
-
to speak in the name of the Lord because they understood the
-
principles of face. They'll understand the Bones of
-
the kingdom and they'll understand the laws of God and
-
they'll operate minister in that area.
-
What area, those who understood faith, those who are
-
understanding the principles of the kingdom, and man, are you
-
learning the principles? The Kingdom right here in this
-
house. Now this is significant because
-
if you knew brother Hagin Kenneth E Hagin, you knew that
-
God told him long time ago back in the 40s he said you go teach
-
my people faith. Yet, the man who was to go tell
-
people faith and have the assignment to teach people.
-
Paid got a word in 1980, that Faith would be an understood
-
principle and that another principle would be in the
-
process of teaching called The Kingdom.
-
I said called the kingdom and the kingdom has laws.
-
Now I'm not talking about the Ten Commandment Laws of the 618
-
law. I'm talking about, just the
-
voice of God because we're the The king is, there's there's
-
power, it's about obeying God's word because you understood
-
Faith. What is faith?
-
Faith comes by hearing and hearing from the word of God.
-
When you hear the word of God, then faith is conceived.
-
But you're not in faith until you believe those things that be
-
not as though they were because now Faith is the substance of
-
things hoped for the evidence of Things Not Seen.
-
See, we're in this principle of understanding Faith because God
-
has already given us the mall. Yet it hasn't actually
-
physically materialized where anchor Faith Church name is on
-
it, but it shall come to pass because God's already decreed
-
it. So, we walk by faith.
-
We so by faith, we believe by faith.
-
We confess my faith because we understand, we heard God, we say
-
it, that's it. That's why you.
-
And I both get on this property and say thank you, Lord, for
-
2121 US1, South. That's why I see some of you
-
walking around the mall some of you on a daily.
-
Lee basis calling it in. Because we're not taking it by
-
ourselves. I'm not taking this mall without
-
you Moses didn't say forget you. I'm going into the promised land
-
without you. He didn't do it.
-
The assignment was take my people.
-
Are you with me? So not only will they have
-
understood the principles of Faith to print.
-
I understand the Press with the kingdom and understand the laws
-
of God, they'll operate minister in that area and look what it
-
says and nothing will be hid from them.
-
So if you'll understand faith and keep the teachings of faith
-
in front of you, and you'll begin to understand the
-
principles of the kingdom and the laws of God, then nothing's
-
going to be hit from you nothing and you'll you have to operate
-
in there operate means. You're doing it.
-
Not oh, I hear the kingdom. God do.
-
So don't hide enough for me to Lourdes?
-
Like nothing's hidden come seek the kingdom of God and I'll show
-
it to you seeking. You'll knock on the door asking
-
you'll But you have to do it. Let's go on.
-
It says, and though there are some not let me skip down
-
because he talks about some that slipped away from it.
-
He goes and says this. And the manifestation shall come
-
and the glory of God shall rest upon it and rest upon thee.
-
And His glory shall be seen around about in The Cloud of God
-
will come and fill the house and yay.
-
It will seem as though the whole building is filled with smoke
-
because you see and we're not talking about fake smoke, we're
-
talking about Real glory. The glory of God shall be a
-
manifestation in great great. Shall be the noise thereof and
-
praise and adoration and shall go up from the people now.
-
Get this and it shall be a noise abroad And Men from afar shall
-
hear it and men from afar shall hear of it and men from afar
-
shall come to behold it for the Lord shall be a manifestation in
-
those days in all the ways that he ever manifested himself, both
-
in the old Covenant, and in the New Covenant.
-
It plus the multiplying of the spirit in the power of God in
-
those days. Wow.
-
The multiplying of the spear, see the latter house is going to
-
be greater than the, the latter rain is greater than the are you
-
with me? Said, for men as men grow, more,
-
wicked and more wicked. And as Satan because he knows
-
his time is short and all his cohorts and evil spirits.
-
Go about as never before to devour.
-
So the power of God the glory God shall be increased and shall
-
be multiplied and it shall flow like a mighty River flow.
-
Like a mighty River, ye the spirit of God will flow like a
-
mighty River. A mini not only Hunters, not
-
only thousands but Millions will be swept into the flow of that
-
River and shall flow forth and praise and glory.
-
It's already happened. He said we're a Millions China
-
when I was in Vancouver. Talking with Gary crowd, he said
-
millions have already come in. Millions have already come in.
-
Now that sounds impressive because you know to us million
-
still a lot but in China there's one point four billion people.
-
So we're talking point zero, one percent of China has come in
-
Point zero one percent. Have come in.
-
When we look at it that way, that's not very impressive.
-
There's still so much to do, are you with me?
-
But notice they'll come from. Afar things will take place
-
because only because they'll come to the ones.
-
This thing will flow like a river.
-
Only for the church houses that are priests have preached.
-
The principles of Faith. Preaching the Symbols of the
-
kingdom and the principles of the law of God.
-
Now when I say law, don't think old Covenant, we are in a law
-
right now. It's called The Law of spirit
-
and life. See the law of death is done
-
away, but we're in the law of love right now.
-
You say loves Allah. You bet your Jesus, read it for
-
yourself. In John chapter 15, verse 12, he
-
said a new commandment. I give you a new commandment.
-
Not a suggestion. Now, when you feel like a
-
Eloise, I highly admonish you to love one another.
-
No, he said, I command you to love as I loved you.
-
Now. How did Jesus loved us while we
-
were yet? Sinners Christ died.
-
Which means love them whether they deserve it or not.
-
Just love. And when you love love like I
-
love because sometimes my love is not well with what's going
-
down. The love of God.
-
Turn tables over in a house of religious people.
-
And that was love if Jesus demonstrated that love and some
-
places. Today they would deny Jesus.
-
Yeah, because he's cotton candy. He's soft, you know, I'll guys.
-
It's okay. No, he's not well with sin.
-
He does not rejoice in unrighteousness.
-
He's not in the corner of a bar, laugh and being relevant.
-
Oh, I'm preaching now. Okay, so he goes on and says
-
that a flow, like a mighty River says, for the glory, for the
-
glory of the Lord is in manifestation, the glory will be
-
seen on the face of the Saints. The glory of God will shine
-
forth and ten men will walk into a place of business and people
-
will fall on their knees and cry out.
-
To God, though, be said, nothing and women will walk into a place
-
of business and people will fall on their knees and cry out to
-
God though she opened not her mouth for the glory of God will
-
shine through. Yeah, the glory of God will
-
shine through. Yeah, the glory of God will
-
shine through four. The manifestation of his power
-
and the manifestation of his glory is reserved until this
-
hour. And you want to know why you
-
feel pressure because God wants to get Glory out of you.
-
And it could be said, be told if it could be told in a way that
-
you could see, even if the eyes of your spirit could be could
-
display at this very moment before you and a tangible form
-
that you could see with your physical eye.
-
It would be very difficult for you to believe that which shall
-
shortly come to pass. It would be very difficult for
-
you to accept it, but as you as you conditional statement, but
-
as you Walk with the Lord, as you prepare your heart as you
-
feed upon his word, as you listen to what the spirit of God
-
says, your heart shall be prepared, and your mind will be
-
changed until you flow in the Supernatural, as naturally as a
-
bird flies through the air and you'll flow in the Supernatural
-
As Natural as you breathe. The very, as a fish, excuse me,
-
as a fish will swim in the water and your flow in the
-
Supernatural as naturally as you breathe the very air you'll not
-
be Be conscious of your faith. You'll not be conscious of
-
what's going on around you. But rather you'll be conscious
-
of the flow of the spirit of God and he will manifest himself and
-
he will accomplish that which he desires. the last Sunday of
-
April, which was the fourth Sunday in April, we had water
-
baptism But prior to that service, the Wednesday night,
-
prior Pastor, Marcy was ministering the elementary
-
principles and somewhere whether it was the transition of
-
worship. In the transition of worship,
-
she sensed in her spirit. That the Holy Ghost was tangibly
-
present for refreshing. I had one person come to me and
-
testify that the Holy Ghost Came Upon them.
-
So strong because they needed it that they fought.
-
To stay up. Fought.
-
To stay up. Sunday, we Minister the word of
-
God and we had water, baptism. Three people came to be
-
baptized, and I give the call like I always do for people to
-
come. If they want to come and all of
-
a sudden, someone ran out and came.
-
And the person came obviously, it had a shirt, a female, she
-
had a short skirts obviously coming up the ladder, you know,
-
that's you do everything you can to keep yourself and so she did.
-
But on the way down, you know, in she was very slow.
-
Now, my mom was thinking. Well, you know, obviously she's
-
being conscientious of her skirt and all of our Usher's want to
-
be that as well. You understand, Safeguard her
-
got her down and I said, you hold your dress.
-
And I'll take care of, you know, putting you down and bring you
-
up. Said, if you confess Jesus
-
Christ, your lord and savior. She said, yes, I said according
-
to your confession of faith. I baptize you in the name of the
-
father, son, the Holy Spirit, Babs ties are brought her up,
-
stood, her up, got her to the thing, and it took her longer to
-
get up the ladder. Then I saw another person
-
looking at her. And I was looking at the facial
-
expression of the person who was looking at and I thought to
-
myself what's going on. Something's happening.
-
So I started checking my spirit. That this isn't natural.
-
Something's happening. They got up to the top, finally
-
got to the bottom and then all the sudden, what was on her?
-
Flu came through the water and hit me.
-
And the spirit of God came on me so strong.
-
And I got a glimpse of another time where the Holy Ghost fell
-
at a different time. In our state, all the way across
-
the Panhandle at another church on Father's Day.
-
And because of that fall, they went into Revival for a couple
-
years of which a year and a half, I think it was 18 months
-
after the initial outpouring of the spirit in that church.
-
My wife and I went with another couple up there to see it and we
-
had to stand outside for four hours just to get in church.
-
It just happened to be a baptism service, they preached a message
-
on salvation, it was good and they have this song that came up
-
by the spirit that they had. Wrote said, come running come
-
running to the Altar and when he said I'm going to count to three
-
and when I count to three, I want you to get up from your
-
seat. If you're not right with God,
-
and you run down here and go one, two, three and man, they
-
jumped and ran to the altars I'm like, wow.
-
But that was nothing compared to the baptism.
-
The baptisms came to people that have gotten born again at that
-
particular Revival. They would bring them down
-
baptize them. And before they could pull him
-
up, they go out in the spirit. They had to pick him up and
-
carry him out. And I got all that in that quick
-
of a moment and I shared it with you.
-
If you were here in that service, And at that moment, I
-
was there. When I look back at the ladder,
-
I know if I let go and go to the ladder, I won't make it.
-
Now, it's one thing to fall out here.
-
It's another thing to fall in water.
-
Amen. Because one of two things is
-
going to happen, guys. Going to let me swim like a fish
-
until the ushers realize, he ain't coming up, right?
-
But I was I was working in the anointing.
-
Made it to the latter had to hold myself.
-
There, got to the top, got to the bottom had, to hold myself
-
there. Then I was escorted.
-
I was numb all the way up the stairs, and the one who helped
-
me up then owning fell on them. And I knew then Something's
-
Happened. And I've been asking what is
-
this Lord. I went later to talk to the
-
individual that I saw something going on when they were watching
-
The Girl come out and I said, what is it?
-
And they said this the spirit of God fell on me so hard.
-
That I was fighting to keep myself from falling down on all
-
that wet floor. And I heard the Holy Ghost, say
-
to me. Everybody wants my move but when
-
I come, they don't always yield all the way.
-
I've ever been in meetings with this man by the name of brother
-
Vijay brother brother Hagin Kenneth E Hagin where he would
-
have in the anointing with being on him so strong that he began
-
to walk by a place and people would fall under the anointing
-
power of God. Now falling under the anointing,
-
don't change you, that doesn't change you now.
-
It can't heal your body pretty fast and he can then talk to you
-
while you're under the power of the spirit.
-
The most significant thing we can ever have in Life Is Knowing
-
the word of God by Revelation knowledge and acting on it.
-
Falling out on the spirit that make us spiritual.
-
But the God wants to move in certain ways that his power so
-
much that you need to yield. And so I took my staff and I
-
said, listen, God's moving. And so I'm going to tell you
-
this part. I won't tell you everything I
-
told the staff, but I will tell you this part when God moves
-
don't resist. The Bible tells us and saying in
-
1st Thessalonians. I believe Chapter 5 Verse 18.
-
It says do not. Quench the spirit.
-
Anybody got a lighter on, anybody got a lighter on their
-
person like a lighter. Okay.
-
Now, don't be saying, why does he have a lottery?
-
He has candles, man. Jeez.
-
My wife carries a lighter. It's just this long.
-
It's like a torch. The Bible says, don't quench the
-
spirit. You can't quench something until
-
it comes on. Am I quenching anything?
-
No. But so when the Holy Ghost
-
begins to come upon you, Instead of staying up.
-
Just let what what would happen if all of a sudden the Holy
-
Ghost started getting on you and you just went ahead and yielded
-
and say I don't care what happens.
-
Could it be that it just fall off you and Start Tumbling.
-
Have you ever seen a domino before?
-
I've been in meetings man where the anointing because man you
-
get around a bunch of pastors that are hungry for God been
-
pouring out their life. I mean when I go to Camp mini,
-
I'm drawn on the anointing, a Pastor Hagen, I get around
-
pastors that love the Holy Ghost.
-
Those that love the outpouring of the spirit that love the
-
refreshing that lie to get around their companions where
-
the oil of gladness can show up, I get around them, we start
-
drawing on the anointing, we start pulling the anointing of
-
the man. I gotta restart dry pulling that
-
spirit and all of a sudden that Holy Ghost to come and it can
-
hit one of us and you fall out next thing.
-
You know it's like a domino effect and the spirit of God
-
just start tumbling down. What did the Bible say man
-
that's your cup runneth over and when your coverings over it's
-
gonna flow over into somebody else.
-
But the problem is, is he starts pouring in your cup?
-
And you start going. Oh no, oh no.
-
It's about to go over and you get out from underneath the
-
flow. I don't want God to say, let me
-
find another church that will yield The Holy Ghost is never
-
controlling. The Holy Ghost never controls
-
us. We must yield to him.
-
You're not born again because God.
-
Controlled you said no, you don't get it right.
-
That's what you going to do because I ain't gonna let you go
-
to hell. No, I ain't no, I ain't doing it
-
now. Open your mouth.
-
I believe Jesus Christ, died on the cross and Rose from the
-
grave. Good.
-
Now I'm in you now we right now. He doesn't do that.
-
He says, come on, take me, come on, here I am, I'm right here,
-
I'm right here. All you gotta do is Say it all
-
you gotta do is say it. I ain't saying that.
-
All you got to do is say I'm right, I love you, man.
-
Don't go down this road. I don't go down this road.
-
I'm following. That's right.
-
I'm coming after you because I love you.
-
Don't go down this road and you just go on down the road.
-
So, well, I catch up with him later.
-
There. Come one day that you keep
-
resisting and say well he just don't want me.
-
And then you wake up one day and you realize I'm in hell and this
-
hot and hurt and I'm burning. And I'm on fire and man, this is
-
bad. Then he brings you up to heaven
-
and said you could have had this.
-
But now I'm judging you at the great white Throne judgment your
-
name's not in the Lamb's Book of Life and let me show you how
-
many times it could have been. It's a sad day.
-
And he says, now, depart from me, I never knew you need cash
-
into the Lake of Fire, which is the second death never designed
-
for you, but only for the devil and his angels.
-
See, when it comes on, you got to let it go.
-
You got to let it night. Whatever it is you got to yield
-
to. It don't become so religiously.
-
I just I'm putting carpet down here for you.
-
It ain't thick. Our Usher's are quick.
-
Let me tell you you guard, power of God, you going to be all
-
right. You know, there's nothing wrong
-
with people being here to help you and assist you so that you
-
can yield because a lot of times people don't trust God enough
-
and don't yield and sometimes he helps people yield.
-
I mean, how many times you ever help someone get born again?
-
You hear people where that is really God?
-
They don't have to have no catchers.
-
They just let it go. Well 5 is really God than he can
-
talk to them by themselves. No, he sent me.
-
Let me help you you need Jesus. That's helping.
-
Are you with me? You know what, you want to
-
receive from God, come on over here.
-
We got people right here, that's praying behind you.
-
It's pulling that anointing down to come through you, so you get
-
everything, got knees for you to have.
-
Well, you know, that guy behind me, he seems kind of small, I
-
don't think he can catch me. What's wrong with you?
-
David was just a boy and killed a lion and a bear head knowing
-
your catcher and go where you at?
-
It'd be like I thought they were heavier than that.
-
That's just one hand. Trust the anointing on the one
-
that's with. You got your spot right?
-
Well they just I don't think that no go but if you ain't
-
going back, go for it. I don't care what you do.
-
Just yield. You what God says.
-
When he heals to you to tell she said begin to pray in the
-
spirit, pray in the spirit if he wants to put his power on you.
-
So the anointing a fall down on you.
-
Let the anointing fault, whatever it is.
-
Let's go, lift the move of God passed us by because we will be
-
done dignified enough to let him have an expression in us stomm
-
to rise. Up in the band, be the men and
-
women of God. I have to check myself will
-
because I know three people and I'm one of them that held on And
-
I have to ask the question now, but my God is a gracious.
-
God he taught me and I said, dad, you do it again, I'm down,
-
I won't stand up. I'll just yield, there's been
-
many times. I've been in places where Pastor
-
Hagen's laid, hands on me or someone else, and I'm wondering,
-
like, Apostle scales. They got to give me a word on
-
our Bast, our past Kingdom rise conference that, you know, I
-
laid hands on every speaker, but he Him, because he was supposed
-
to lay hands on me because of the anointing on his life, to be
-
transferred to my life through the laying on of hands.
-
And he said, when I said that to him, he said, God spoke to me
-
and that today and said, I would lay hands on somebody and you
-
are the one. Now, when he did, I could have
-
just stood there. But I sensed it.
-
I sense the anointing hit me for the top of my head.
-
Begin to go down. I just like I take it all and
-
when I yielded myself then I just allowed myself to take it.
-
Now again, maybe you don't fall doesn't mean that you always
-
have to fall. I'm not saying that I'm just
-
saying if you're going go, that's all I'm saying.
-
If you got this in your mind I'm not going to fall.
-
Well then guess what? You're not yielding but if
-
you're like, Lord whatever. Now if Gums on you and you're
-
not getting so drunk in the Holy Ghost that you can't stand up.
-
Great. Stay standing received that what
-
he gave you and go to the next thing.
-
Nobody's gonna say well they didn't fall down so they must
-
not have got it. We're not saying that.
-
But what I am saying is there's too many.
-
Come on. Can I get it how I've had it?
-
Anybody else can say, I've had it Lord, and I didn't.
-
Stand up. If you said pastor, I've had and
-
I didn't go seriously. I'm not I'm not calling out to
-
him bear. I'm just saying look at how bad
-
God's moving and desires to move Among Us.
-
Lika, we're sitting here crying, we pray and 24-hour prayers.
-
And fasting asking for the move of God, making the demand on the
-
move of God, and he's moved on every one of us.
-
And we've allowed it to a level. But to the level, no one knows.
-
Instead of taking it to the level that somebody knows God
-
must be doing something. The Bible says all who are
-
thirsty. Come to me and drink when the
-
spirit of God starts moving like that, it creates a spiritual
-
thirst or spiritual hunger that somebody else would be like, I
-
don't know what they got, but I want it and all of a sudden the
-
Holy Ghost say Here I Am. Bam, you laid out laughing The
-
oil of gladness is all over. You you laughing in the spirit
-
on control but it does good like a medicine this hill in your
-
body. Some of your healings are one
-
good. Holy Ghost laughed away.
-
That would have been there, had you yielded But you know, as
-
well as I do, what are we hearing?
-
What are people gonna think what they going to think about me?
-
And God saying I'm moving. I'm moving.
-
I believe if we who have been together for a while and know
-
what to do will do then those that have don't even know what
-
this is. Don't worry, you'll Pastor will
-
give the instruction unless I'm out in the power of the spirit,
-
then he'll raise up someone else to give the conversation.
-
In that. What Peter did everybody has
-
gotten filled with the Holy Ghost.
-
Everybody speaking in other tongues Peter's been filled with
-
the Holy Ghost the day of Pentecost and then he steps out
-
and everybody's like, what the world's going on?
-
What's happening with these people?
-
What's going down with this thing?
-
And Peter says, it said they are not drunk as you suppose, but
-
this is that which was prophesied by the prophet, Joel,
-
that he would pour out his Spirit, he let him know, then I
-
walk him we do. What did they say?
-
What can we do that? To have what you have.
-
He says, repent. And be baptized in his spear in
-
the Bible. Says 3,000 came in to the
-
kingdom that day which gives me this indication all 3,000.
-
Not only got born again but got the promise of the father and
-
all of them began to speak in an unknown tongue.
-
They were all in do with power that day.
-
Because they yielded. Because they yielded.
