Confession Builds Your Supply Chain

Let's wave our Bibles around and make Jesus glad.

The devil may have gone.

Let's say this together Say, heavenly Father, you've given me your Word and that Word in my mouth is Lord over all the circumstances.

That's why I'm able to laugh at seeming impossibilities.

I'm able to gain the victory over impossible situations because Jesus is Lord and he's my Lord.

Hallelujah, come on, you can be seated now.

Hallelujah, glory to God.

Let's turn in our Bibles to the book of Romans, chapter 10.

Romans 10 · chapter mention

And we'll start reading with verse 8.

Paul the apostle, writing in the church in Rome, Verse 8, it says but what saith it?

The Word is nigh even in thy mouth and in thy heart.

That is the Word of faith which we preach.

You know, there's this teaching going around, spurious, false teaching, that the Word of faith is a cult, the Word of faith is a heresy.

Well, you know, paul preached the Word of faith.

Paul called the Word the Word of faith, and it's proven here in the next verses, verse 9, that if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

For with the heart man believeth under righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

So these powerful verses just basically illustrate what the Bible calls the law of faith.

Everybody say the law of faith.

You know there are certain spiritual laws that we need to become acquainted with and integrate into our thinking, into our lives and into our mouth, in our heart.

I've been speaking to you in the last couple of weeks about the power of positive expectation, expectations of the future.

Expectation is another word for hope.

God hath hope, because without hope there's nothing for faith to give substance to.

Faith brings hope into the now.

Amen.

And so you know we've been talking about these things for the last two weeks.

This is the third week that I want to conduct the dots on how important you know.

We talked about last week meditating the word that brings it out of the area of hope in your mind and get it down in your heart into the now.

See, it's got to be in your heart, not just in your mind.

You can't just agree that the word.

Most Christians will say, yeah, the word's true, but they don't act like it, they don't live like it.

The Bible says that just shall live by their faith, and so I wanted to read a quote from Smith Wigglesworth, what was who was known as the Apostles.

Apostle of Faith lived, you know, died in 1940, 70, the year that I was born, do the math and 75, I'm glad to say it.

It sounds really old, but I don't feel that way.

He, you know, he had over 19 recorded miracles of the dead being raised in his ministry, including one that was already embalmed into the casket.

He pulled him out of the casket, leaned him up against the wall and raised him from the dead.

See how many of you know he didn't do it, but he was the vessel.

He knew something about the gifts of the spirit that takes the gifts of the spirit, and he knew something about faith.

And he said about confession.

He said confession bills the road over which faith carries its mighty cargo.

Confession bills the road over which faith carries its mighty cargo.

And I've been meditating on that and I thought about a road with an 18-wheeler on it bringing a cargo that you've been believing for, a cargo of health, a cargo of financial blessing, a cargo of salvation, which means all kinds of things.

It means more than just going to heaven.

It means everything Jesus bought and paid for.

But you know, in today's day we have what we call a supply chain, and so I'm going to change that meaning a little bit today and I'm just going to talk about confession bills, your supply chain.

The title of this message confession bills, your supply chain.

How many of you have noticed, our supply chain has been interrupted in a lot of ways.

Things that we used to just take for granted, just be so easy to get I mean fertilizer can't even find it.

And when you find it, if you use fertilizer, if you've got a garden or if you've got a yard that you need to fertilize them and your grass will grow, but not very pretty if you don't use any fertilizer.

One time Gladys said you know you had fertilizer yard, you need to get out there and fertilize the yard.

Well, I could dummy.

I went and bought a big old bag of fertilizer and went out there with my hand and kind of went like that.

In a few weeks I had these clumps of green grass.

It looked terrible.

It ruined the yard for that season.

Man, she fired me.

I did not, I was not in charge and I was replaced by an expensive service that comes to your house.

She's a yard nut, I'm a car nut.

She's a yard nut, very picky about the yard.

She always mowed the front yard and edged the sidewalk with a real edger not a weed eater, a real edger with a blade, you know that digs a trench next to the curb.

I mean she did the whole thing.

I had to keep her equipped Only the front yard, though the backyard was my job.

Nobody saw the backyard, so she could get by with less imperfection.

But I'm talking about your confession.

Builds a road, amen, over which faith can bring your mighty cargo.

But a road is really a supply chain.

It's multifaceted in today's day.

I mean we get goods and services.

I mean you know we even need bandwidth.

You know what bandwidth is.

It's the size of your internet connection.

I mean if you've got a choked off internet connection, you can't get the orders in, you can't get the orders filled, you can't.

There's no connection between the production of it and all of that and the supply of it.

And you've got insufficient bandwidth, you're in trouble.

I mean you know these Russian and Chinese hackers figured out a way to hijack some of our smaller towns that are run by Democrats, most of them, who didn't spend any money on security for their internet connection.

They got hacked.

Remember that.

I mean, you know, some of them had to pay ransom because they couldn't collect the water bill, they couldn't collect their taxes, they couldn't tell people.

You know, put them on notice.

You know they shut them down.

You pay us or you're going to go broke.

And some of them did just almost go broke because why they didn't spend any money on their internet security.

That's a supply chain.

Their supply chain was interrupted.

You know, and I got to meditating on this and I remembered it's been a long time since I've been over the ship channel bridge 610 ship channel bridge.

You didn't know they're building another bridge though, on Beltway 8, the towway over the ship channel.

$1.2 billion of our money because they, whoever was in charge of the ship channel bridge back in the 80s, was short-sighted.

Have you ever been over that bridge?

It's a little bitty bridge and all the 18 wheel is narrow.

It's ridiculous.

Who built it?

You dummy?

So now we got to rebuild it.

20 years later, 30 years later, we got to rebuild the thing.

Anyway, short-sighted supply chain hinders the supply chain.

But anyway, I was remembering going over the 610 bridge over the ship channel and I love going over that because I love looking out over the ship channel and seeing all the industry and everything.

And I've always noticed there's these big, huge parking lots, one on this side and one on the other side, on the opposite side, diagonally across each other, on either side of the ship channel, for ships that are coming in with cars and they offload those cars and they store them in those lots.

And I don't know, it seems like it was Volkswagen and BMW, because they manufacture a lot of their cars overseas.

And so how do they get to America?

Well, they come on cargo ships and they land at the port, they're offloaded and they put in those cars thousands of those cars parked in that lot, ready to be distributed from there on to the next stage of the supply chain, dealers, wherever.

And I don't know how they get out of the parking lot.

They might be, it might be 18-wheelers, with those car carriers.

You know, you see those.

I try to stay away from them.

They look like they're about to fall over.

You know, down the road, like that, I just don't spend any time around those things.

I get around them and get.

They're behind me.

Or they might be trains.

You know, trains carry cars sometimes, but mostly the 18-wheelers.

So there's your supply chain.

Well, I went out so I was meditating on this message and I thought I wonder if that, if I wonder if those parking lots are full of Volkswagen's and BMW's.

So I made a special trip this week.

I drove off 610 off the east side, went up one side of that thing.

Looked over to my right, there wasn't one single car at the.

We've got an interruption under the supply chain.

That's why cars are selling at or over MSRP.

Be prepared, if you go buy a new car you're going to pay over the sticker in most cases.

And why?

Because there's not very many of them.

They're not getting here.

At one point not long ago, because of COVID and our idiotic response to it, we had I don't know a thousand cargo ships anchored off in the Pacific.

It wouldn't go to LA.

Why?

La's ports were basically closed.

There's nobody there working, no 18-wheelers there to pick up the cargo when it's offloaded anyway.

It's complete wreck because of one stupid governor.

Why do we let that go on in our nation?

Some one governor holds the rest of the country hostage.

I believe in states rise, but that's not states rise, that's just ridiculous.

Well, anyway.

So of course I'm on that side of town, I've got to go down Laundale and eat at the dinner bell cafeteria.

I know most of you have never heard of the dinner bell.

It's not on the upper list of cuisine, but I've grown up going to the dinner bell since I was this tall, and it's still there.

I can't imagine why it hadn't been torn down and replaced by a Taco Bell.

But it hasn't.

And after the dinner bell I came back the other way and went up on the other side of 610 and looked at that parking lot.

It's empty too.

There's a little bit of pipe rectangular pipe in one of them and they've got a little bit on there, but mostly those lots 40, 50 acre lots are empty of whatever goods they used to hold.

It's mostly cars, in my memory.

I'm talking about an interruption of your supply chain.

Now where does your supply chain come from?

It comes from the spirit realm.

Everything you need is accessed in the spirit realm by your faith.

Faith is a spiritual substance, it's a power, and this is how we live, folks.

I'm just trying to make an illustration between what we're living with in the flesh and what you might be living with, because you may have some huge problems with your supply chain.

And what is it that builds that supply chain?

The word confession.

The great law of faith says that you believe in your heart and you confess with your mouth until or until it manifests, if it's conveyed out of the spirit realm into the realm where we can actually use it by our confession.

Now, the word confession there, homo-legio, it means literally to say the same word.

So when we confess the word, we're saying the same thing as the word.

We're saying what the word says about our situation.

Are you with me now?

So you know?

Hence we're going to connect up with last week's message about meditating the word.

You know you meditate.

Meditating is not just about the mind, meditating is about speaking.

You know God told Joshua this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate there on it, there, in day and night.

Number one, so you can observe do everything that's written, then you shall make your way prosperous, then you shall have good success.

He said you'll make your way.

He didn't say I'll make you prosperous.

He said you'll make your way prosperous.

We have everything to do with our prosperity of spirit, soul and body and finances.

We have everything to do with it what we say about it.

We're either creating additional supply chain, we're either adding to our flight.

Just think about FedEx.

I mean you know FedEx, we see FedEx trucks.

But you know what?

Fedex has a better fleet of planes.

There's a lot of stuff.

That's brother John Dyer.

He was a FedEx pilot.

He's retired now but he flew I don't know a million miles hauling products all over the world.

I guess mostly brown in the country, but I mean they fly things.

It's not all 18-wheelers, it's not all cargo ships, it's a multifaceted thing.

It's always your faith.

Your faith is able to conduct your goods and services and things that you're believing for to your doorstep.

We like to grind our own coffee beans.

I have a certain coffee bean I like.

I buy it on Amazon.

Oh, you got Amazon.

Well, I know, until there's a better alternative, I'm going to do business with them.

I mean, if I quit doing business with all the people I disagree with, we'd have to blast off and move to Mars.

I find I disagree with almost all corporate.

Do you still drink Coke?

Do you still wear blue jeans?

Levi's?

I hate Levi, what they stand for, but if I wanted a pair of nice blue jeans I'd probably buy some.

But anyway, I mean I went on Amazon, I said I found up my previous order for that coffee.

Two pounds of it, it lasts about five weeks.

And so two pounds of that coffee, five weeks.

I put it in there, clicked and two hours later sitting on my doorstep.

I mean, you talk about getting rewarded for perfecting their ability to bring you what you want right now.

If Amazon can do it, you can do it.

It didn't happen overnight, it didn't happen just, you know, it didn't happen because they relied on the US Postal Service.

You know they did that for a while, but then they fired them and replaced them with their own trucks and their own drivers.

I mean, just look at that.

This country has the engine of ingenuity and commercial power that's unmatched anywhere and I'm telling you, communism can't match it.

Young people, you quit listening to your teachers and people, and especially in college, ah, they're just filled with leftists.

All right.

So it means to literally the same, the same word.

So with the heart, you believe it.

How does it get down in your heart?

Meditating that word, you meditate and you've been speaking it out of your mouth.

That's confession.

So you're already doing that when you meditate, you're already doing that.

But now what I'm talking about today is once you have identified something that you need, now you need to confess it.

Until so, once you've taken authority over sickness and disease, if you don't pray for that, you don't ask God to help you and help ask God to heal you.

He's already done that 2000 years ago.

If you meditate it in the word, you'd already know that.

I mean, mama fixes you a really fine dinner, son, I just, I just you know you work so hard.

I just want to reward you.

Here Some chicken, fried steak, mashed potatoes.

Here's some collard greens with the pepper sauce on the side.

It's made with, you know, made with pig knuckles and everything else.

See pork fat rules.

You got to have pork fat.

You got to have lard, you got to have it.

It's not on the pretty can diet, he's already dead, all right.

So how many of you never heard of him?

Well, see, there you go and here it is.

It's all laid out for you.

Big old yeast rolls.

You know about this big around and not this margarine.

No butter, smart balance.

He gets him smart balance.

No butter, he's a good boy Boy.

You know you bless the food.

You've got that and you moved.

You know you moved your napkin up and you tucked it in around the top of your shirt Because you know this is gonna be messy.

You can tell when people are really serious about eating.

They tuck their napkin up around the collar and you got the knife and the fork.

You fixing to cut that chicken fry.

You're fixing to man, you're fixing to have.

Mama, would you mind if I have a little of this chicken fry?

No, son, I fixed it for you, it's just for you.

Oh, thank you, mom, thank you.

And mom, would you mind if I have another spoon full of these collard greens?

They're so good.

Oh, no, son, go write it.

Wouldn't she think you were nuts If you ask her permission to eat every bite of food?

And yet that's what we have done to church is ask God, ask God.

Oh, if my people call by my name, we'll humble themselves and pray.

I'll come.

You know I'll forgive them and I'll come and heal their land.

No, he's never gonna heal our land.

We're in charge.

What are we saying about it?

What do we say about iniquity and lawlessness?

What are we saying?

Are you all with me?

I just voted glory to God.

I haven't mailed it off yet, but I'm mailing my ballot.

You know we've got conflicting information.

Some say don't vote by mail, vote in person.

Other people say vote in person, you know.

So forth.

I don't know which to believe.

I'm just gonna go ahead and I'm voting by mail.

That's what I've done for a long time.

How dare them steal my vote?

If they do, they're gonna might be struck by life.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know, I don't know.

Verse 11, here in Romans 10, for the scripture says whoever believed it on him, it should not be ashamed.

There's no difference.

It goes on down to verse 17.

So faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So when you hear yourself sass well, I said last week, you're the best preacher you'll ever hear because when your spirit hears you speak the word, it gets down in your heart and faith comes.

Faith starts to build, even though it looks impossible, even though it seems like it's a vain repetition and you don't really.

You know your mind is fighting you.

Your mind is saying it can't be true.

The doctor said you've got just weeks to live.

You can't say that.

You can't say that.

Well, you're gonna say that.

You're gonna keep saying that, because it's gonna create a reality.

Amen.

The law of faith, confession is building your supply chain and you confess.

You know confession brings possession.

Well, you're one of those.

Name it and claim it.

Yeah, I'm just like Jesus, exactly like him.

He was one of the.

He was the first one you can have.

He said who's whoever can have whatsoever.

You wanna argue with him?

You wanna call him a preacher of error?

You argue with him.

I'm gonna keep believing what he said he's Lord.

So, anyway, I've got five things that you need to keep in mind.

These are basic things.

We all know.

These things Most of us do.

But this is why we have our Faith Foundation's Bible study, because it's not necessarily new information for everybody.

But I've known, you know, pastoring, for this is my 35th year of pastoring, 28 years here at Glorious Way Church.

So I have it's not my first rodeo, you're not the first people I've been associated with.

I've had to help get through tough situations and most of the time when people falter, they falter in their foundational beliefs.

They somehow let something in their foundation slip.

Israel is the story of a whole nation that let.

They had the leg up on everybody in the whole world.

They were God's chosen and they really, you know, didn't appreciate their standing with God and they wanted to be like everybody else.

No, we're not like everybody else and we don't have to have the things that everybody else has, all the trouble, amen.

So these foundational confessions, these things will get you started.

This is why we have Faith Foundation's Bible study.

Be right after this service and it'll help you.

The first one here in verse nine, it says "'Jesus is Lord'".

If you'll confess Jesus is Lord.

We sang about Jesus as Lord this morning.

The power of God came down and just settled all over the congregation when we began to magnify Him.

Jesus is Lord.

And if Jesus is Lord, then the word is Lord.

Is the word Lord, or is it not?

What does Lord mean?

It means the boss, it means the supreme, it means the head, it means the top, it means it's in charge.

Really, peter, when he was walking on the water, he had the word.

Jesus just said come.

That was Lord over the waves, that was Lord over the wind.

He didn't have to be concerned about it at all, but he was concerned.

He started beginning to sing, he started looking at the waves, he felt the wind boisterous and beginning to sing, he said, oh, he saved him back.

What did Jesus do?

He saved him, walked him back to the boat and he said Peter, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Oh, ye of little faith.

Ye of little faith.

Little faith is gonna look at the circumstances and say that no, jesus is Lord over the wind, he's Lord over the waves, he's Lord over the storm.

That's come your way.

You're built on the foundation of the rock.

That Jesus is your Lord.

Oh, glory to God.

Come on, lift your hand right now, say it out loud Jesus is my Lord.

He, the devil's not your Lord.

You've been delivered out of the power, authority, jurisdiction and control of the devil and translated into the kingdom of his dear son.

He runs a tight ship, but let me tell you something that ship ain't sinking.

I mean, we sang that too.

We ain't going down.

You ain't going down.

You're not on the Titanic.

Everybody say Jesus is Lord.

I like this testimony.

Brother Hagin writes about it.

He got the revelation of speaking your faith.

He was in those years, probably the late 40s.

He had just left his last church and started on the field ministry and he was just beginning this ministry and, frankly, he was struggling a little bit and his custom was that he would go to the church where he was preaching in the afternoon and he would pray at two or three hours in the sanctuary.

And I mean, you know, you preached in the morning, preached at night, and here in between, here he is.

He hadn't eaten, fasted the whole time until after the meeting late that night, would eat late at night, so he wouldn't eat breakfast, he wouldn't eat lunch, and then he's in there praying on his knees.

The way he prayed was on his knees.

He didn't go to the church that I went to growing up.

We had kneelers and they didn't have any pads on them.

So I got over praying on my knees.

I didn't.

I never, I don't usually pray on my knees, sorry, I just I like to walk around when I'm praying, walking pray.

But anyway, sometimes I sit in practice every now and then I'll bow and kneel, but not very long.

But anyway, he was got tired and so he laid down on the on his back in the sanctuary, looking up at the ceiling, had his hands behind his head, like this, looking straight up, and he got quiet because he was tired.

I mean, he's just exhausted really.

And he got quiet.

And when he got quiet, the Holy Ghost spoke to him and says have you ever noticed in my word, mark 11, 23, that it only says believe one time, but it says speak, or some form of speak or say or some form of say, three times.

And he came up and sat, you know, sat there a moment.

He says no, lord, I never did notice that.

He said yeah, and he said my people are basically not missing it about what they believe, but they're missing it on what they're saying.

And you're going to have to teach people three times as much on what to say as what to believe.

Isn't that amazing?

Just one thought like that the Holy Ghost planted in him.

He said I want you to go and teach my people faith.

Glory to God.

Aren't you glad he did?

I want you to go and teach my people faith.

See, I mean, it's here in the word, but you've got to have somebody teach it.

You've got to have somebody expound upon the word and give it to you so that you can connect all the dots for yourself.

And so that's where his ministry began was right there in that sanctuary.

And then later on, you know, as he went along teaching people faith, god spoke to him and says you know you're wearing yourself out.

Why don't you just use your time a little more wisely?

You preach in the morning, go to your room and lay in bed and meditate my word, instead of spending so much time praying and using up all your energy.

Aren't you glad you know the Holy Ghost is your helper?

I mean, we think there's something about us.

We think we got to work it up.

We think we got to work so hard.

We think we've got to fast and pray.

You know what?

We don't have to do all that stuff.

Meditate the word and get it down in your heart.

And now you speak.

And when you speak, that's Lord.

So he tells us, cast testimony that he had his cousin Benny called Brother Hagin's mother that would have been Benny's aunt and said oh, my sister's bad and she's in the hospital.

She's not expected to live much longer, she's real sick.

Please tell a cousin, ken, to pray.

So Mama calls Brother Hagin and tells him about Benny, what he said he said hang up the phone right now.

Mama called him right back and tell him that Ken said she'll live and not die Just like that.

Tell Benny.

Ken said didn't say.

God told me to tell you he didn't say God said he said Ken said she'll live and not die.

Oh, son, I'm so glad you got a word.

Oh, I'm so glad you got that word for your cousin.

Oh, I'm just.

He said yeah, mother, I got a word.

I got a mark 1123.

And she said oh, oh well, son, do you think that'll work?

Oh, that was the wrong thing to say, but this is Mama.

Son, do you think that'll work?

He said do the multiplication tables work?

Of course it'll work.

Well, you know, he probably had to ask for forgiveness after that phone call.

Might have had to buy her some flowers after that.

But what do you and some of you are looking at me crazy like multiplication tables.

What's that?

I know the new math.

You don't have that, but I had that.

It stuck with me all of my life.

I don't know second grade, third grade, I don't know what grade I was in when I had these little cards 12 times 12 is 144, 10 times 10 is 100, 8 times 8 is 64.

I mean, I've never forgotten it.

I mean just memorized the multiplication table.

Let me tell you something when you speak, it comes to pass.

Jesus is Lord over what you speak, because you believe it in your heart.

He spoke it out of His spirit.

He didn't have to get you know, it was strictly by faith.

Well, why, how did you know?

Well, you know he's read the Word enough to know that God's not in death.

He doesn't will young people to die.

People die every day, but it's not God's will for young people to die.

You know an older person's lived off their life.

I mean, that's one thing, but you know a young person.

This person was younger, probably in their 40s or 30s.

It wasn't God for her to die, especially of disease, whatever the sickness.

He didn't even, he didn't even know what the sickness was.

He said tell you know, tell Benny, that Ken said.

Now, why did he say that?

Because Benny had confidence in Ken's word.

He had confidence that Ken had a connection with God.

He didn't have one himself, but he knew Ken did.

I mean, look, you can get your relative safe sometime and heal sometime, like that.

Because you know what they don't know.

You can speak for them.

Not about fasting and praying and asking God, oh God, how can I have a piece of chicken fried steak?

Well, no, you can't have that.

I just said it in front of you to make you hungry.

I just fooling with you.

I'm just messing with you.

No, god's not messing with us.

He's giving us a banquet and he wants us to eat it.

Glory to God.

He wants us to speak it out.

He wants our supply chain filled up.

Glory to God.

You getting anything out of this?

I know these things are so basic, but that's where people miss it, as the basics, they just forget little connections.

Don't forget, jesus is Lord.

You ought to say it every day.

I say it every day.

I say it to trouble.

I say it.

Listen, listen, heart.

Jesus is Lord over you.

You're going to vape through open blood vessels, free of plaque obstructions and clots, with a normal sinus rhythm.

You're not having any more of that atrial flutter.

I forbid that in Jesus.

I don't pray about it, I don't ask, oh God, I just say it.

Jesus is Lord.

Therefore, the word is Lord and the word in your mouth.

You know, I like what brother Edd Dufresne used to say when he came to this church word of faith, prophet, prophet of God.

How many of you remember brother Edd?

He's in heaven now.

Nancy, his wife, carried on she's mighty preacher, teacher of the word.

Brother Edd would say you know the sovereignty of God's in your mouth.

Just one thought like that.

I thought I never heard anybody say that.

That is so good.

The sovereignty of God is in your mouth.

We put it all up to God.

Well, god is in control.

Usually when people say that they are standing on the sidelines, they haven't done anything about the trouble that's going on and they blame it on God.

You know, they look at this world, they look at all these weirdos in charge and they say, well, god is in control.

Well, no, he's not in control.

He's in overall control, but he's not in control of this mess down here.

Because if he is, he's the author of mess.

He's not the author of confusion.

It's the church that hasn't said anything and hasn't done anything.

Amen, get me started.

I'm already started.

It's too late, all right.

Number two here's one that we lived through for two years.

Oh, be safe, be safe, mask up, shut the door.

I mean, it's just hilarious.

I mean, see these people in a car by themselves with a mask on.

Are you nuts?

You've got to be nuts.

If I could just see their eyes, I know it would be glazed over like a hypnotized.

You know, looking through my eyes, wear the mask.

No 1 Peter 5.7 says I've cast all of my care on him, for he cares for me, the whole of my care.

Once and for all, the amplified says it's not something you do every day.

You don't go around saying I cast my care, I cast.

I did that way back when one time, and then ever since you've been tempted to care and have care and have fear and have worry and all of that, you say I know.

No, I cast my care on the Lord.

He cares for me, he's watching over me, I don't have anything to fear, I have no care.

Yeah, be careful.

No, no, thank you.

Be careful out there.

No, thanks, I'm careful for nothing.

Fly all over the world, fly.

You know there's been some near misses.

I remember one time brother Austin and I were coming back from India.

It's a you know two stage trip We'd fly from.

I think that trip we were in Bombay.

We flew from Bombay to Paris and then from Paris to New York and New York back to Houston, and so it was several stages where we were on the leg of the trip, coming from Paris to New York, landing at JFK.

And you know, we just we didn't fast and pray about, we just thank God, our God protects us from harm accidents.

It's a smooth flight and so we'd set it.

Either he'd say it or I'd say it.

Yeah, we didn't.

I mean I'm away into the plane, I just put my hand on the plane and say fly, jesus name.

So we're sitting there and we're coming here.

I'm looking out the window I let the window seat he liked the aisle seat and I'm looking out the window and we're coming in for a landing.

I can see New York, I can see buildings.

We're just we've got the gear down.

I'm expecting.

You know, they seem like we're maybe 25, 30 feet up off the tarmac Hard to tell for sure.

And suddenly we were both thrust back into our seats.

I mean, the pilot put the pedal to the middle and that plane took back off and I said we're aborted.

We aborted the landing.

He said what happened?

I said we aborted the landing.

Well, I never been in a plane.

I didn't know a big old plane could fly like a fighter jet.

I had no idea.

But that plane took off like a rocket and I, you know they overdesigned these things for that reason.

I mean that thing.

There was something wrong and found out later there was traffic on the runway, somebody had pulled out in our way, we would have had a big old collision right there at JFK.

You know, I for those things and I would be in heaven, and we'd have a big headline for a little while while they talked about it and the feds intervestigate the reason.

But you know what, thank God, the pilot saw that thing and he just and we flew around another 30 minutes went way out there over Newfoundland and all the way out in the Pacific.

They took a huge loop, I mean I don't know, seemed like 30 minutes, before we came back around and landed and I said, well, the second time we're going to land, brother, we're going to land this time, praise God, I don't have a single.

Everybody say I don't have a single care.

I refuse to worry or fret.

And the message Bible Philippians says you know, don't worry about anything, pray about everything with Thanksgiving.

All right.

The third one, psalm 23.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want, I do not want.

See, I just say I don't want for anything.

I don't have any.

I don't have any unfulfilled desires.

All my desires are met.

Everything I want is coming my way.

Glory to God, that's mine, hallelujah.

Health is mine, blessing is mine.

Health is mine, blessing is mine, hallelujah why?

Because he leads me and I follow him.

You know, it's one thing for him to leads, another thing for you to follow.

So if you'll follow him, your needs will be met.

If my needs not met, it must be that I missed a signal and I'm not following.

That's the key to this church starting is.

I started suffering financially and I went to God.

I wanted to find out what happened to my supply chain.

Yes, I found out.

I should have been pastoring this church, I should have been starting this church.

I should have obeyed the call on my life, which I then subsequently did.

And that's churches here.

Because of that, oh, hallelujah, the Lord is my shepherd.

I do not want why?

Because he's leading me in the right ways.

Every need is supplied.

Isaiah 53, let's look at that one.

Isaiah 53, number four.

These are some basic confessions based on God's word, and you can put your words to them.

You don't have to quote the King James English, you know.

You can have your.

You can put it in regular English, your style of English, but it's based on God's word.

Isaiah 53, verse three.

Surely he had well verse three.

He has despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid, as it were, our faces from him.

He was despised and we esteemed him not.

Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrow, yet we did esteem him, stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities.

The chastisement of our peace, our shalom was upon him and with his stripes we are healed.

So that covers a lot of territory.

It covers sin, sickness, pain, sorrow, grief, amen, amen, everything that isn't shalom.

He was chastised so that we could have shalom.

What is shalom?

Health, prosperity and peace.

I mean, that takes it all in.

It's talking about Jesus and his substitutionary sacrifice.

Have you seen this stupid ad that talks about he gets us, jesus gets us.

You know he suffered anxiety.

He did not, you liar.

Now this is a group of Christians that are misguided and they're wrong and they're trying to make Jesus acceptable to people that don't love him.

And I don't accept your characterization of Jesus at all.

It's religious, it's dumb, it's wrong.

Jesus never was anxious.

They're talking about the garden.

Well, you know he was taking the chastisement for our peace upon him at that moment.

That's when he swept great drops of blood.

He never was anxious about anything.

He was taking our anxiety.

Before the cross, he had already started taking on the sin of the world and the sicknesses of the world at that point in time.

So you don't know what you're talking about when you say that Jesus was anxious.

Jesus received the huddle message.

Well, that's a lie too, because everybody he preached to were Israelites.

They were legal residents of that nation.

They were not illegal aliens who broke the law coming across the border.

Are y'all with me?

Are y'all y'all?

I kind of shocking some people.

But look, this religion stuff is going on out there and there's a lot of false Jesus.

There's a lot of false word, there's a lot of false.

I don't doubt their sincerity, but they're wrong.

They're sincerely wrong and they're doing damage.

Let's stand up for the real Jesus.

So my confession, isaiah 53,.

Every sin, sickness, sorrow, lack was laid on Jesus.

Therefore I'm free.

That's why we say that the songs that we sing here are.

They celebrate our redemption in Christ.

They celebrate the blood, the purchase, our purchase from bondage.

They have redemptive truth.

I refuse to allow songs that celebrate unbelief.

Poor me, whiny pot.

Christianity.

We're not victims, we are victors.

And finally, 1 Corinthians 130.

Oh, this is one.

When I got ahold of this, charles Capps turned me onto this.

He preached this in a message.

And when I got ahold of this I'm telling you 1 Corinthians 130, have you found it?

But of him are you.

In Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, that, according as it is written, he that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

So we don't have to confess it, we're dumb.

We can say I have the mind of Christ because he's my wisdom.

I'm not intimidated by this trouble here at work.

I know that God is my wisdom and he will show me exactly how to solve this problem.

We've got a businessman in this church that God showed him how to save his country, his company, a million dollars a few years ago, and he came up with a plan that saved his company a million dollars a year on this particular procedure, and you know he got the credit for it.

He got a promotion for it too.

Are y'all with me now?

He's my wisdom.

Everybody said Jesus is my wisdom, he's my righteousness.

See, we start measuring our righteousness by our behavior.

No, righteousness is not a behavior, it's a state of ability to come before God without shame.

And how can we do that?

Because we're in Christ.

He's our righteousness, he's our sanctification.

Old time Pentecostals were big on sanctified, being sanctified.

Well, you just ain't sanctified yet.

No, yes, I am, I'm sanctified.

I was sanctified because I'm in Christ.

The minute I was baptized into Christ, I've become sanctified.

Sanctified is not a measure of my behavior.

Sanctified is my state of being, because why I'm in Christ?

They missed the whole point of the blood.

Now I believe we ought to act right, live right, be right.

I believe that, all of that.

But that's not where our sanctification is.

It's one we have in Christ, and he's our redemption, our sanctification, our wisdom and our righteousness.

Come on, lift your hands right now.

Thank God, I mean Charles Capps put that into me.

It set me free from religion.

It set me free from this inferiority complex.

Well, you know, if I could ever get his holy assistant black bucket mouth over there, I know God would hear my prayer.

This will make you bold to speak and your words come to pass.

Glory to God.

Oh, I tell you, we believe in our hearts.

We confess with our mouth unto or until it manifests, and then our supply chain is built and brings us everything we're believing for.

Come on, lift your hands and receive today.

Hallelujah.

Did this connect the dots for you?

That's my job is to connect all the dots for you so that you can live a prosperous, blessed life, that your faith works.

Amen, glory to God.

Hallelujah, come on, let's just lift our hands right now.

Father, we thank you this morning for the truth of the word of God.

We're not gonna be moved away from the truth in Jesus' name.
