2023 - The Year Of God's Power

We're gonna preach down and pick up our bibles and pick them up and live stream on it.

You should get yours out, let's lift them up, wave them around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad, and say this together say, heavenly Father, thank you for another year I counted a success, because I'm still on the earth.

I'm doing what you've called me to do.

I'm here this morning to receive further information about what's ahead of me in this year, 2023.

I thank you that I'm not intimidated, I have no fear or dread, but I have confidence in your word and in your spirit that I will accomplish.

I will accomplish what you put me on the earth to do in Jesus' name.

Amen, amen, amen.

Let's look at the book of Romans, please this morning.

Romans chapter one, and also Romans chapter eight.

We'll start with Romans one, verse one, or verse 16, excuse me, verse 116.

Paul is writing to the church at Rome.

He says for I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God.

Everybody shout power of God.

The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.

And then, in chapter eight, verse 11, paul is further making a statement about the Holy Ghost, and he said verse 11, but if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelling you and he does.

But if he does, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken or make alive your mortal body by his spirit that dwelleth in you.

Some people just wanna limit that to the rapture of the church.

When we're given new bodies, but it means every day, all day long, we're quickened.

The Holy Ghost can bring healing and health to you.

The Holy Ghost is power, isn't he?

The power of the Holy Ghost raised Christ from the dead, and so today I wanted to share a message entitled 2023, the year of God's power.

This is a prophetic message.

As will be the next, I don't know, probably.

I've got four Sundays between now and the time Mark and Trinna Hankins come the end of the month, the last Sunday of the month.

They'll be here Sunday morning, sunday night.

So be sure and be here, because they always bring a deposit, they always bring a demonstration of the spirit that we need and privilege being partners with them.

But between now and then, I just have something from the Holy Ghost that he showed me about this coming year.

I believe it'll help you.

I believe it'll prepare all of us to be in position I'm big on positioning ourselves to receive everything that God has for us, and these messages are prophetic.

You know, I could say thus saith the Lord, because he did.

He told me, he gave it to me prophetically, and so you know, we talk a lot about the utterance gifts.

Well, this is an utterance gift.

Only it's from the office of the prophet.

Well, I thought you were a pastor.

Well, I am, but I stand in the office of the prophet.

I'm the time.

So it's a higher level of anointing and if you'll receive it, it can put you over where you might not quite get over the hump this year, but if you'll remember what the Holy Ghost said, it'll give you, it'll arm you.

You know we don't have to fight sin, we don't have to fight sickness.

The only fight we're called to fight is the good fight of faith.

This will arm you to fight the good fight of faith, to overcome, because the devil always oppose your faith.

He will always oppose what Jesus bought and paid for.

So you know, remember 2020,.

God gave me that word in 2019.

On Rosh Hashanah evening, he said 2020, you're gonna look back and you're gonna call 2020 the greatest year yet.

Well, most people on the earth say it's the worst year they've ever lived.

Maybe they're tempted to say that about it, but most of us just agree with what God said.

His perspective was yeah, it's gonna come unglued, you're gonna see things you ain't never seen before.

But if you'll hang on to me, I'll make it better for you.

I had some people kind of part with me on it.

They thought I'd gone nuts.

But I just over the you know 35 years of ministry and I just learned to depend on what the Holy Ghost tells me, whether it makes sense to my brain or not.

I think about in 2000, the year 2001,.

When we went over from everybody thinking the airplanes are gonna fall out of the sky.

In the year 2000, I don't know if y'all remember Y2K.

Y2k IBM had a whole division to study on Y2K.

They all got fired.

One guy came to the church and got fired after.

Y2k turned out to be a complete ridiculous.

They didn't think computers could flip over to 2001.

Wasn't programmed?

Well, they all did.

Nobody fell out of the sky.

And so that division of IBM.

They got laid off.

They've been studying it and hadn't come up with the truth yet.

Isn't that crazy?

And so God spoke to me that year.

He said this is a premier year.

First, you're gonna see things you've never seen before, like the Hollywood premiere, the searchlights, the red carpet.

You know, they always roll out Hollywood.

They don't do that anymore, but they used to.

They'd roll out a movie.

You know, now it's all on video and now it's no big whoop, nobody cares what Hollywood says, nobody even goes to the movies anymore.

Thanks to COVID, most of the movies are on the Hollywood side.

Thanks to COVID, most of the movies houses went broke.

Disney is at the bottom of the heap because of their ridiculous woke-ism.

May they go broke.

I cursed their liner.

If you go cruise ship on Disney lines, we'll just let.

Just don't use the one in Galveston, because I cursed it the other day when I drove by I said may you not be sunk.

But I mean, may go broke, just go broke.

Yeah, let's turn it into a hospital ship.

Pastor, you're crazy.

No, I'm not crazy, I'm going to a heavenly insane asylum anyway.

But I'm taking you back to some of the years that God gave me these and what happened 2001.

Yeah, we saw something we'd never seen.

See, in those years I was thinking positively, but God was trying to get us ready for 9-11.

We saw some things and every time I see a movie with the Twin Towers in it home alone you ever watched that little movie Home Alone?

Well, it's got a picture of the Twin Towers I just grit my teeth and it makes me angry of where we've been as a country, what we've given up and how we've let our enemy just walk all over us.

But anyway, this is a positive message.

Praise the Lord.

Keep that in mind as I continue.

But God gave me this message about 2023.

It's the year of God's power and as believers, we have the same power that raised Christ from the dead, living on the inside of us, individually and corporately.

This church has got power.

Amen, something's falling off my ear.

Hold on, there you go.

And so we have the gospel, the greatest message that anybody's ever preached, the gospel message, the gospel of Christ.

Romans, chapter one calls it Christ the anointed one and all of his anointing.

What gospel did he preach?

He preached the full gospel.

He preached the gospel to the poor.

What are you?

One of those prosperity preachers?

Well, what are you?

A poverty preacher?

Jesus was a prosperity preacher.

I like to preach the gospel he preached.

He preached the gospel of healing to people.

He hasn't changed.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.

What gospel do you preach?

The gospel of cancer?

The gospel of diabetes and heart disease?

Is that your gospel?

No, my gospel is healing, the full gospel.

And what is that?

That is the power of God unto salvation.

The Greek word salvation is sotaria, which means, according to my concordance, deliverance, preservation, healing and soundness.

Our gospel message ought to be inclusive of all of those things, and yet most churches is just about escaping hell is all they've got.

I don't think people believe in hell anymore.

People quit believing in hell by a huge margin folks.

So when your message is say you can escape hell, they just write you off.

But people need healing, people need deliverance, people need soundness and wholeness, don't they?

Oh, we've got the greatest message.

And what is that message?

It's the power.

It's the power unto bringing people what Jesus bought and paid for.

So why is this emphasis about God's power in 2023?

What does it have to do with 2023?

The things that you're saying are in the Bible.

They're things that we have.

Why are we underlining it for just this year.

So I read my Bible in order to find out about God's laws, to find out how God thinks, to find out the general principles.

But when I wanna know specific instructions, I hang out with God through prayer, worshiping him, hanging out with him.

That's when I receive intimate details of things that he's got specifically for me and for you, and for this church, for this ministry.

And so I went to Galveston last week as my custom.

I go several times a year.

I always go to the same place.

I like to look at the Gulf, it just does me good.

Usually, on the way there, I'll pray something like this Father, I ask you to show me what I need to see, what I need to hear, what I need to know, so I can know what I need to do.

It's an action item.

I need to do something and I wanna be able to see, hear and know what it is.

That's a fair question.

Why don't you try praying that A little more often than maybe once a year during your annual self-examination, especially after Christmas holidays?

And you've gained about 35 pounds?

No, I mean, you know physical things are important, but spiritual things are so much more important.

We ought to do a spiritual checkup, but anyway.

So I prayed that.

It wasn't just a few moments after I prayed that that I turned on Harbor Side Drive, which is the street on the right-hand side as it come into Galveston.

On the right-hand side it's Old Town Galveston, you know, and on the left side is the cruise ship terminal and all the port of Galveston and there are some tracks, railroad tracks, there on the left.

That one time before, when I was in Galveston, I saw railroad track cars loaded up with these blades for wind turbines, the green energy.

I don't know how well that worked this past Coast Nets no, it didn't work at all actually, but anyway, they freeze up, they break, they kill birds, they create a myth.

I hate them.

I hate them.

They want to put them offshore.

I hate them.

I bind it in Jesus name.

We don't need wind power.

We need look, we need more good old gas, natural gas power.

It didn't even nuclear.

I think we ought to have nuclear.

But anyway, amen.

I've seen them use that place there, their side tracks.

Well, this time I just prayed.

That prayer caused me to see and hear and know, and I looked over there and there's this line of diesel locomotives.

Put the picture up there please.

So I'm looking at it from the left side of that picture.

I'm looking and you can see that line is pretty long.

I show the aerial of that.

Look at that.

Hundred or more diesel locomotives lined up in Galveston sitting there.

And I saw that.

See and he gives me first time things that I've never seen before.

I've never seen that before.

I found out that it's been there since 2020.

So I've driven right by that several times and never noticed it until he got me to see it.

God uses physical things sometimes to trigger what he wants to talk about.

And I knew instantly when I saw that massive bunch of diesel locomotives.

Each one of them can pull a train.

Look at how many trains are low.

Look how many trains are sitting idle.

You know what first thing I thought about?

The wasting of power.

Oral Roberts got that visitation in July of 2004.

God Jesus told him there's a wasting of power in the church.

His first thing came into my mind wasting of power, amen.

And I knew it was prophetic.

I knew God was speaking to me about something, didn't know what it was, went to my, you know, went out to the East beach.

I had communion.

I said, lord, you're gonna show me about this thing.

I saw it I don't know what it means, and went back to my room and I prayed about it some more.

I started meditating on it.

I started meditating on trains that I've seen in my dreams.

You know, god would deal with me in dreams, prophetic dreams, and a few years ago we were having we had just had a bunch of uprising in the church.

My pastor, john Osteen, said well, thank God, you had a back door revival.

You know what a back door revival is?

The people that came in the front door they left in the back door.

They're rebels, they're people that are fussing and people that don't believe in you and talking about you, and they were meeting against me and making up lies about me and my family.

And it was kind of a hard time.

We lost a lot of people during that time that went that way.

Well, you know it's not a loss when people that don't agree with you leave.

You know you can't do anything with people that don't agree with you.

Love plus unity equals miracles, not love, not conflict plus gossip.

So right after that happened, I had this dream and in the dream I was in the bathroom of a caboose.

Now don't ask me how I knew it was in a caboose, but I was in the bathroom of a caboose and it was all the way in the very rear of the caboose.

So I'm thinking in the dream that I'm, you know, out that bathroom door.

If I could go outside it would be the back end of the train.

I'm gonna see the tracks going that way, you know.

But the train is going like this and it's just rocking back and forth, there's just a bunch of gyrations.

And I'm thinking in the dream who's driving this train?

What's going on?

What happened to the tracks?

You can't be rocking back and forth like this.

And I came out of the bathroom and I ran around the corner and I came into this room and it's got a panoramic window in the front.

There's no train in front of it, there's no tracks in front of it, and there's a young man that's got grabbed ahold of an iron steering wheel right in the center of the room and he's got a railroad hat on and kind of a gray, like gray looking khakis, and a railroad looking shirt and blonde hair sticking out from his railroad hat and he's just, he's driving the train Just like this, steering it like this like a steering wheel and so I mean it's still rocking back.

There's no tracks.

We're going across pasture and I look off to the left.

I see a set of tracks and I'll follow those tracks down and I see a train that's derailed and smoking.

It's on fire, it's off the track and it's destroyed.

And on this side we're passing another train that's got at least 10 locomotives and they're pumping black smoke.

They've got their power turned all the way to max.

They're running those electric motors that run the wheels and they're pulling like 150 or 200 cars and we're passing them like they're standing still.

I mean we're just going right, we don't even have tracks.

We're just going right through the in between the two tracks and this train's going maybe 20 miles on our max and we're going 60.

And we're passing them.

And I mean we're evidently heading up the train and I'm in the caboose I don't know what's behind me, but I'm assuming that the train and I woke up and I'm thinking what happened to my church?

Who's in charge of my church?

And I realized it's the Holy Ghost.

You know, we don't have a smooth ride all the time.

You won't smooth just getting the back of a hearse in a casket and it'll be the smoothest ride.

You'll have the quietest ceremony out at Forest Park.

I mean you go to Forest Park Cemetery.

There's not hardly anything happening out there but birds chirping.

I mean it's pretty quiet so.

But a church has got a lot of activity.

It's got a lot of turmoil sometimes.

Sometimes people come in with all kinds of problems and they talk about them and they talk to other people about them.

Instead of getting ministered, they talk about the problem.

Listen, don't talk about the problem.

Get rid of the problem.

We're here to teach you how to do that.

So that's just one example.

And I was thinking about how you know the year of God's power Seeing, see these.

I didn't know it was a year of God's power, yet All I knew was this thing that I saw was a wasting of power and it had to do with trains.

A train is a powerful, powerful thing.

I mean these things got these big, massive diesel engines that drive generators that power electric motors.

That's the first hybrid vehicle.

So I started looking up this situation on Duck Duck Go I don't use Google anymore and it sent me to an article where I got these pictures and off of Duck Duck Go, and there was an article in the Galveston written in 2020.

February of 2020, I was talking about yeah, there's some train locomotives at the port.

They're all on the side tracks and they we contracted B and S.

You know, burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad owns them and they're there to be evaluated and they're gonna either sell them or scrap them.

They're gonna try to decide.

Well, that's been three years ago and there's more now than there was then they're adding to it.

And I got to look in and all the railroads have these locomotives all scattered all over the country.

In Arizona, there's a hundred or hundreds of them lined up on one track in the desert.

And they said, yeah, this is Union Pacific, by the way.

And they said, oh, yeah, we've got them out there to preserve them.

You know, in the desert, they really they'll last along, they'll preserve until we decide what to do with them.

Well, they won't last 30 days.

Mice rats get in there and eat the insulation off of the wiring.

They will be destroyed.

I mean, birds build nests.

Rats get up into the engine, into the cylinders and build nests inside the cylinders.

Just, I'm a car guy.

I know what happens to old cars that are sitting in barns they go to pot real quick.

You can't keep anything Unless it's, you know, temperature controlled, and you've got to.

You know past control, and so their explanations didn't make any sense to me.

But what did make sense was there was a wasting of power.

You know, we live in such a great country that they can just let good anywhere else.

So you could give those locomotives to somebody in Africa.

They could put them to use.

Or somebody in a third world country, somebody that's poor.

I think about Malawi man.

That's the.

We help the orphans in Malawi.

That's the poorest country on earth, you know.

I think they could probably use some of those locomotives for something they're going to waste.

And so, as I was meditating on this physical thing, before I go too far, god put it back on my dream.

And what I know in my dreams is a ministry is always represented by either a car, a ship, a train, an airplane, a vehicle.

In every dream I've ever had about my ministry it has something to do with that.

I've had dreams.

I had a dream one time and I had a Corvette, and it was about this church.

In the Corvette he said your church needs to be highly maneuverable and a specific kind of church and he's used all kinds of things to talk to me about the church, about my ministry, about my life, and so, as I was meditating, own all of this, oh, I'll give you another dream I had.

I had my ship channel dream.

A lot of you've heard of that one.

This was way back in 1990.

So it's been what 33 years ago?

And I was still at Lakewood doing what I was doing at Lakewood and I had this dream and one one.

I was on the ship channel and I was standing all the way in the rear of a, of a of a boat, and it was a cargo vessel because it had holes that had cargo hatches, and I was standing on top of the engine hatch and I could feel the vibration of the diesel engine underneath me and it stretched out in front of me.

It's about From here to the back wall.

It's pretty good size.

And I'm on the ship ship channel because I see the tank batteries, I see the refineries.

I'm on the Houston ship channel and I and I feel the breeze of in my face and and I'm so Exhilarated here in the engine, noise and vibrating, and I felt so exhilarated in the dream and I thought what kind of motor.

See, I'm an engineer by education.

What kind of engine is under here?

I got to find out and I reached down and I pulled up the hatch.

Here's this big old diesel engine.

You know, in the heat and the smell of the diesel fuel to hit me in the face.

And then I look up and I'm looking over the front end of an 18-wheeler.

Now I'm in an 18-wheeler tractor rig driving down the highway a lot higher rate of speed.

I won't get into that part of the dream, but the first part of the dream the interpret.

The interpretation was that I knew in the dream this was an oil tanker, a small one, and that I was blessed to be at Lakewood.

Among all the different anointings that had been deposited there.

We had brother Hagan and we had brother Norval Hayes and brother TL Osborne and we had brother Osteen, of course, my pastor, my favorite of all.

He was always my favorite.

I made sure he was my favorite.

I never let my heart be taken away by someone else.

He is my father.

He's the main reason.

All the other ones are coming.

They are Associated, but they're not the main thing.

He was the main one and I had all this blend of oil.

And when I opened the hatch, I'm discovering the power.

Everybody say power, everybody say power of God.

See, the ministry works on the power of God.

It can't work on natural power.

And there's a lot of ministries now that are just depending on human resource, human power, borrowing power, banking power, business power, but they don't have the power of God operating.

There's no anointing.

Are y'all with me now?

It's still positive.

Don't get, don't, don't think it's gonna be a negative message, because I feel you know a confirmation and a Vendication, frankly, of what we've been doing and where we're headed.

Are y'all with me now?

So these locomotives, cars, boats, planes represents churches and ministries.

And this is what he spoke to me in Galveston.

He said all the churches that allowed government to classify them as non-essential Are now parked on the sidelines, soon to be on the scrappy.

That's what the holy ghost said to me.

Well, we're not one of them.

We're not going to the scrapyard and we're not on the sideline, we're not on the sidetrack.

You've heard sidetrack.

Well, I was sidetracked.

Now you know, you've got you got a picture of a sidetrack.

There's a bunch of stuff out there that still exists on the sidetrack as far as God's concerned.

Well, pastor, where's that in the Bible?

We'll read revelations, chapter 2 and 3.

Revelation 2 · chapter mention

Jesus talked about the sidetrack.

He talked about seven churches of Asia Minor and five out of the seven needed a stiff rebuke.

And he told the pastors of those churches Repent or else.

And then he told them what the or else was.

We think Jesus is so Nambi Pambi, we think he's so sweet all the time.

Listen, he's.

He's the head of the church, he's the CEO of this outfit and the church has magnified the love side of God.

We needed that after the Pentecostal revival.

The Pentecostals were kind of mean, you know.

They had a lot of rules, mostly against women Can't wear that kind of dress, can't wear makeup, can't cut your hair.

Got to have it piled up about 15 foot tall.

How do you ever wash your hair when it's 20 foot long?

I don't know how you do it.

All this stuff they make up out of the Bible's man-made rules.

It's not in there, really, it's wrong.

And so, yeah, we needed decades of the love side of God.

Brother Hagan was big on the love, brother hosting, it was big on the love side of God.

But you know where we are right now.

We need to get back in balance and realize that God is judging.

He is separating the sheep from the goats, the chap from the wheat.

He's separating the false from the true.

Come on, lift your hands right now.

Oh, it matters where you go to church, it matters what you hear every week.

I'm so zealous for you and I I love you.

That's why I'm preaching this, not because I'm mad.

I'm not mad.

I'm just zealous over what God shows me.

I didn't go there looking for anything particular Like.

I told you my prayer and he showed me this.

He spoke to me, and so we've got to continue doing what we're doing.

We've got to stand up and for our freedoms.

They're being stolen Out from under our noses and some of these churches have just allowed it.

Oh well, you know Romans 13,.

We just have to do with the king.

No, we don't have a king.

We are the government.

Why don't you understand our constitution, you doofus?

We don't have a king over us.

We have no obligation to obey some letter agency, some 10 horned self-appointed dictator that suddenly decides to change the rules in the middle of the stream.

Are you with me now?

So I still didn't know exactly what he was saying.

I mean, I knew what he said, but I didn't know how it related to 2023.

I was hoping that I'd get something for this year and I didn't really get it.

While I was in Galveston, so many times, what happens is I come home and then God finishes it up, and that's what happened this time.

I came home and I had a doctor's appointment Thursday morning and then Friday afternoon I took a nap Real spiritual, I know, I like naps when I have time to take one and I took about a 30 minute nap and when I woke up from the nap, the Holy Ghost said 2023, the year of power.

And so I put God's power, because I wanted to be specific, not any other power.

It's not the power of green energy, it's not the power of electricity.

It's not the power, not political power, it's not the power of government.

It's God's power that trumps and supersedes every other kind of power that we're constantly hearing about.

All these people are so big on exercising their power.

Well, it's an abuse of their power.

Is what it is.

We're gonna call them out on it every chance we get.

Pastor, you're not gonna get along.

No, we're not gonna get along with them.

We're not gonna reach across the aisle.

We're not gonna put up with them.

Amen, as God is warning us and also giving us confirmation of what we've been doing.

And you know, I go back again to 2019 because right after that greatest year yet revelation that God, that was spontaneous.

I wasn't in Galveston with that, I was standing right here that night.

How many of you will hear, that night it was just God, it was 30 minutes, it was a move of God that came in here and I look back on it and if it hadn't been so dramatic in front of everyone, where it just came out in a prophetic word, I think we'd have had reason to doubt.

After that, with the COVID, all of the mess that happened then after that, all the people laid off, all the people forced to get a jab, all the people threatened with getting fired If they didn't get jabbed, all of the attack on the church basically saying that we're non-essential.

But we had a firm word from God about it and that's what we have again.

So for 2023.

But back then he gave me these three words perspective, power and prominence, god told us.

He said you know, you're gonna seek me and you're gonna get my perspective on things.

I'm gonna release my power and your prominence is gonna grow.

You're gonna have a and our footprint, so to speak you ever hear that term the footprint, this church's footprint, has grown significantly.

And we're known by the governor, we're known by the lieutenant governor, we're known by our state and Harris County government people, including our enemies.

They know who we are.

I said they know who we are.

I didn't do that, I couldn't do that.

Who did it?

God did it Because we wouldn't compromise, we wouldn't draw back and bow down.

Are you with me now?

And it takes all of us.

I can't do it by myself.

I can't do it without you.

Well, I guess I could wouldn't be very effective, though.

We're strong when we're together.

Pastor, I don't understand exactly how this is gonna help me come in.

Well, I'm gonna get into that and further messages.

I believe it has something to say to us personally, each individual.

We have to keep in mind that God's power trumps everything else, no matter what You've got.

The power of the gospel or that is faith.

Faith is God power.

It's a spiritual force.

Are you with me now?

So, and besides, there's two words in the Bible that are translated power, and I'm mainly talking about Dunamis right now, which is God's supernatural power.

Dunamis is the power of God, god's supernatural power.

Dunamis is the Greek word that we get dynamite from, or dynamo, and, incidentally, that's exactly what's in a diesel locomotive.

The diesel engine doesn't run the wheels, the diesel engine turns a dynamo, or a generator that powers electric motors, that powers the locomotive.

And when you get tandem locomotives, well you've got tandem power hooked up to all those cars that it's dragging.

That's power.

Dunamis is where we get that.

That's where they get the word dynamo, that's where we get dynamite from.

That's what power we have, supernatural power.

And the other word is authority, exusea, which means authority.

Jesus said all the power of God is all authority, matthew 27,.

He said all authority in heaven and in earth is given unto me, go ye.

Therefore, he delegated all authority.

Everybody say all authority.

Everybody say all power.

See, all power, not just oh no, we've got to be subject over here, we've got to.

Well, the Bible says we should be subject to the higher powers.

Well, you know, I know it says that, but we're not in a kingdom.

This written to people who had already lost their kingdom.

The Jews had lost their kingdom to Rome.

They were a conquered people.

We're not a conquered people yet we're on the way.

We're on the way to being conquered, but we're not there yet.

We need to rise up and say no, no, you're not taking my guns.

No, no, no, you're not gonna close our doors.

You're not gonna make us have to have a permit to be able to have a Sunday service.

We covered all that when we built this building.

There's no more additional anything.

It's gonna have to be required.

You're not welcome to come in here and inspect anything.

That's what they wanna do.

They wanna do it.

They wanna come in here and inspect and they want a chance to stop us from worshiping.

That's on their agenda, and when they found out we weren't gonna play with that game, they withdrew and they hadn't said a word in a year, but I don't know how much longer they'll be.

But you know what?

I don't care.

It's irrelevant.

We're gonna fight it all the way.

You know why?

Because we've got the power of God on our side.

Come on, lift your hands right now.

Thank God for the power of God.

We've got it.

We're not looking for it.

We're gonna get it one of these days.

That's why we encourage people to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus is the one that said.

He said you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon you.

He was talking about the baptism he told the disciples.

He said don't leave Jerusalem without it.

No, don't leave.

Don't be going to all the world till you get baptized with the Holy Ghost.

And when you're baptized with the Holy Ghost you shall receive power, the power of God, dunamis power.

You already have authority.

You know what good is authority without any dunamis?

Years ago in Great Britain they had the Bobbys.

I don't know what they'd still have them or not.

Great Britain has been fouled up for so long, but they didn't believe in guns and so they send their law enforcement out of nothing but a night stick and a funny hat, no gun.

And they were all big on.

Well, the queen, she's our authority.

That doesn't mean a thing to a criminal with a gun.

I mean you bring a night stick to a gun fight, you're in bad shape, and that's what they got.

Now They've got lawlessness worse than we do, because they've imported all these people.

That never did.

They hate Britain anyway.

They were former colonial, under the colonial arm of Great Britain, and they're trying to accuse America of being a colonial power.

No, we were a colony.

We were not a colonial power.

We were under the Great Britain.

We were just like all the rest of these other countries Rhodesia and all these African nations and island nations.

European nations were all colonial powers.

We were not one.

Don't let them rewrite our history, folks.

We got out from under that colonial power until we could have our own self-determination and when we were able to do it, we got rid of slavery.

We're the only country in the world that fought a civil war to get rid of it, and they're just acting like we didn't do anything about it.

Well, that's wrong and the church needs to stand up now and quit being worried about being labeled something.

They use the R word racism.

It's just coming out of their mouth and they're the biggest racists that ever were.

Are you with me now?

So we have God's own authority.

Not only do we have His power, his dunamis power, we've got His authority and it is all authority in heaven and earth.

There is no government authority above the authority that we have.

I think some pastors need to understand that they're just so misinformed and they're misinforming their people and it's hampering what God wants to do in the church.

If I was part of a church like that that didn't ever have anything to say about abortion, didn't ever have anything to say about wokeism and all this other stuff.

It's going to these transgender craziness.

That's going on.

You know, I think we need to dismantle our entire healthcare system.

It needs to be torn down, burned down, start all over.

It's ridiculous, it's not science.

It's not science.

It has nothing to.

Ama has nothing to do with science.

Big pharma took it all over.

They already sold out to the globalists.

Are you with me now?

Well, pastor, I thought it was going to be positive.

Well, the positive side is that we're in God's will.

The positive side is we've been doing some things and we're going to do some more things.

Coming up and there's going to be some more assignments that God is going to give us.

I don't know what they are just yet, but we're going to all be getting this thing together.

We're going to advocate for freedom.

I mean, god gave us the freedom, not government.

Government didn't give us anything.

If we let government run amok, they will take from us.

Are you with me now?

So now's the time to stand tall and speak with boldness.

I just know from hanging out with God these few days that 2023 will be an unprecedented display of God's power in the earth, something I mentioned during Christmas.

The whole Christmas story was a story that Jesus wins and the devil is, and that's what's going to happen in 2023.

We're going to be bringing forth an unprecedented display of God's power to where normal people can say you know what Jesus wins and the devil loses.

Come on, lift your hands and receive.

Glory to God, glory to God, father, we thank you for boldness.

Boldness in front of our families, lord, boldness in front of those that have been different with us.

You can disagree on things without being disagreeable.

I just empower you to just speak the truth in love and keep it in love, and when people fuss and fume, keep your cool about you.

And so well, I understand where you're coming from, but truth is the truth.

This is the truth as I see it and I have a right to express it.

I hate that you're upset about my stand, but my stand is not subject to your opinion.

I formed my beliefs on the Bible and on the Word of God and by the Holy Ghost, and so my beliefs are not subject to your aggravation.

And I understand.

But you know, I'm just.

I want to share truth with you, you don't have to accept it.

I see where you're coming from, but I can't agree with that.

And I think people you know, instead of getting into an argument, you just stand your ground in love.

You love these people.

You want them to take you to the Lord.

You want them to take you to the Lord.

You want them to take your point of view because you know they're wrong.

These people drank the Kool-Aid.

Well, you know what.

There's truth available and I believe when God's power is demonstrated, that's when people can see oh, there must be something to this.

Look at that healing.

Look at the healing that occurred.

Look at the need that got met.

Look at this.

Look at that.

You know, our lives can be a testimony.

Hallelujah, thank you, lord.

Come on, let's lift our hands again.

Father, we thank you, thank you that we have inside information about what's happening in the earth.

We're not intimidated, we're not fearful, we're not dreading anything, but we're standing tall.

Our lights are shining and burning in this time.
