Transcript
-
Just lift your Bibles up and wave them around and make Jesus glad, the devil man.
-
Let's say this together Say, heavenly Father, I'm a fanatic.
-
I admit.
-
I'm a fanatic for Jesus, for the Word of God, for the Holy Ghost.
-
That's why I'm here on Sunday night.
-
I want more, I need more, I'm hungry for more and the Bible says if I'm hungry I shall be filled.
-
In Jesus' name, amen.
-
Let's turn in our Bibles to Mark, chapter 10, and get into the Word tonight.
Mark 10 chapter mention
-
Mark, chapter 10, verse 46.
-
And Mark 11, or, excuse me, matthew 11,.
-
We'll go back to Matthew in a minute.
-
Mark 10, 46.
-
And they came to Jericho.
-
And as he went out of Jericho with his disciples talking about Jesus and a great number of people blind, bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging, and when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
-
And many charged him that he should hold his peace.
-
In other words, shut up.
-
Hungry and thirsty people make other people mad.
-
Desperate people, people who are desperate for God, desperate for Jesus, desperate for more, make the satisfied people, the religious people, mad.
-
Shut up Hush, but he cried the more, a great deal.
-
Now, son of David, have mercy on me.
-
And Jesus stood still.
-
I didn't get a picture.
-
It's a multitude of people.
-
He's walking.
-
You know you ever try to stop with a multitude of people, right, I mean they're going to keep walking, you're going to stop, they're going to knock you over.
-
No, I mean he stopped.
-
He stopped in his tracks.
-
What did you see there?
-
The cry of blind Bartimaeus stopped Jesus in his track and the crowd.
-
Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.
-
And they called the blind man saying unto him be of good comfort, right Now, change your attitude all of a sudden.
-
What a bunch of phony bolognes.
-
Be of good comfort, rise.
-
He called thee and he and Jesus stood still.
-
So he called him and he casting away his garment.
-
Now, why would he throw his garment away?
-
Because it's a beggar's garment.
-
He's saying to himself you know, I ain't need this anymore, I'm going to get what he I stopped.
-
I stopped him for a purpose and I'm going to get what I need.
-
He threw away his garment.
-
I mean, that's his badge, that's what to let everybody in the temple know that he is a qualified beggar, that they can meet their obligations to give alms.
-
Every Jew had to give alms, help the poor.
-
You had a the registry of beggars in the temple that were approved to ask alms.
-
So he was one of them and he threw his.
-
He threw his coat away, he threw his credentials away, casting away his garment, rose and came to Jesus and Jesus answered and said unto him what wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
-
You would think it'd be kind of a foregone conclusion, but you know, you just never know what people are wanting.
-
Lord.
-
I just need another pair of shoes.
-
You know, lord, it sure would be good to have a pedicure.
-
These, these, these toenails are growing and I'm blind, I can't see, to cut them Now.
-
He, he said Lord, he said that I might receive my sight.
-
Jesus said unto him go thy way.
-
Thy faith hath made thee whole.
-
And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus in the way.
-
All right, and then just turn over to the left.
-
Matthew 11.
-
We'll read it in the King James first.
-
Then I'll read it too in the amplified Matthew 11.
-
Jesus has been talking about John the Baptist, john the baptizer actually John the baptizer.
-
They wasn't baptized.
-
Okay, boo.
-
Matthew 11, verse 12.
-
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.
-
I think the amplified is a little clearer.
-
It says the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force as a precious prize.
-
A share in the heavenly kingdom is sought for with most ardent zeal and intense exertion.
-
So tonight I just wanted to share a message entitled the cry of faith, or we could entitle it the desire of faith.
-
Mark 11, 24 says and what things so ever you desire when you pray, believe you've received them.
-
You shall have them.
-
You know, sometimes we can just kind of want.
-
Sure would be kind of nice to have something, that level of desire or another level of desire, you know, just ooh, that's kind of nice, I'd like to have that.
-
But the kind of desire that really brings Jesus on the scene and stops him in his tracks is that violent faith, that intense can't do without it.
-
Desire, I'm not willing one second longer to do without this thing.
-
That's mine Now you got to know it's yours Before you ask the word ask there also means to make a demand.
-
We don't make a demand of God, we make a demand on our covenant.
-
We don't say God, I demand.
-
Yeah, he didn't demand, he has Lord, that I might receive my side.
-
He was humble, he didn't.
-
He didn't demand, he didn't order Jesus around.
-
But I'll tell you what ordered him around that violent cry.
-
He cried out Jesus.
-
The word cry means to scream, shriek in the Greek.
-
Come on, let's practice.
-
Jesus.
-
That's the cry that doesn't care what people think.
-
That's the cry that will bring reproach on you, that'll bring people around you to think you're nuts.
-
So your crackers.
-
But your past Worrying about what other people think, because that desire is a violent desire, it's, it's vice.
-
See, this is what, this is what the kingdom of God is waiting Just to for the church to bring out of itself right now, in this season we're in.
-
When I Jesus said, you know he?
-
He said he said Go your way.
-
Your faith, your faith has made you whole.
-
There is a cry of faith, not a cry of of Victim hood, not a cry of sadness, a cry of when we're balling and whining.
-
That's not the kind of cry I'm talking about.
-
It's not unlike a battle cry In our soldiers in the Korean War got got To Confronted with the Chinese.
-
You know, the North Koreans never were much of a force.
-
It was the Chinese that came across the border and killed a lot of our guys and they just never, they just never had been confronted.
-
Japanese were close to that, especially in Okinawa, and some of those battles when they wouldn't kill it, they wouldn't quit in the kamikaze, that that mindset that they would rather die than surrender.
-
It was, it was just a tradition.
-
But the Chinese were even worse and they would have a horrible battle cry, and they would be.
-
There would be hordes of them.
-
They would come up out of the ground and run across a battlefield and our guys be outnumbered.
-
They would empty their rifles and run out of ammunition for they could kill on enough of them.
-
And so we, they just they were willing to lose as many as it took.
-
I don't know if you know, but the Korean War was a stalemate.
-
That's when we started drawing lines and quit and we stopped winning.
-
We became we became willing to let our boys go over there and die For practically nothing.
-
We didn't stop anything we didn't contain.
-
Oh yeah, they had 32nd pair, or whatever that's called, in North Korea, south Korea, with big whoop.
-
They're still as evil as they've always been.
-
Now I'm not talking about the people themselves, I'm talking about the regime that's behind.
-
That battle cry was a cry that struck fear in the hearts of the enemy and, of course, it struck fear in our boys hearts, not because they were afraid so much, but the sheer numbers of the, of the soldiers coming toward them and the fact that they could not kill them fast enough.
-
Couldn't kill them fast enough, couldn't kill them fast enough.
-
Chinese, I mean, they had millions and millions in their army.
-
They were willing to like waste of all To beat the Americans.
-
So the cry of faith is not unlike that type of cry.
-
It's not something that Western civilization is acquainted with.
-
Are y'all with me?
-
Y'all kind of looking at me kind of funny.
-
You're gonna get, you're gonna get into it here in a minute.
-
Everybody say the desire of faith.
-
I Mean he did not care what people thought.
-
Jesus, that son of David.
-
What?
-
What did that mean?
-
Well, he's saying Jesus, you're the Messiah, you're the son of David, you're the.
-
You're the one written in the scriptures.
-
There's a whole lot of people didn't, weren't it, wouldn't, gonna admit that.
-
None of the religious leaders were willing to admit that.
-
In fact, when Jesus said that he was the Messiah, they wanted to throw him off the brow of the hill in his own hometown, nazareth.
-
He could, there, do no mighty work because of their lack of honor.
-
Prophet has no with, oh no honor except in his own.
-
You know, it's not without honor, except in his own hometown is among his own family.
-
That's what Jesus was talking about his own hometown and his own family.
-
And there he could do no mighty work because they're unbelief.
-
Here's a man that believes in Jesus, believes he's the Messiah, and cried out have mercy.
-
The word mercy in many places is also Translated compassion.
-
Jesus often had compassion says that he saw the multitudes and he saw them as a shepherd.
-
Having no, he was a shepherd and they were, as a people having no shepherd, cheap without a shepherd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick Multitudes so many times, you see.
-
So have compassion, have the same compassion on me, as you did some of those people I heard about.
-
That's what he cried.
-
He cried out Are y'all with me now?
-
The cry of faith.
-
Or we could say the desire, what things?
-
Whoever you desire, when you pray or when you say, or when you declare, believe, you receive it, and you shall have it, not what somebody else is desiring for you, what you desire.
-
And then another question to ask yourself is just how desperate am I for that thing that I'm asking for or that I'm desiring?
-
How desperate are you?
-
It's a good question.
-
When I say desperate, I don't mean hopeless.
-
A lot of people think desperate means hopeless.
-
I was preaching this one time.
-
Well, I wish you wouldn't use that word.
-
It sounds negative.
-
Well, why don't you just open up your dictionary and find out what it means?
-
I'm not talking about it from the negative standpoint.
-
I'm talking about you're unwilling to do without this thing.
-
What is it?
-
Everybody's got something.
-
Everybody's got something.
-
Everybody's got something the desire of faith.
-
What things?
-
Whoever you desire?
-
What things?
-
Whoever you desire or what you are, have violent faith, for you have ardently sought it, and with most intense exertion.
-
You see, when I see these scriptures, I see a plum line.
-
I'm a used to be a home builder, so I'm a.
-
You know, I'm real.
-
I know about levels and plums.
-
You know something's leveled and plum and square.
-
It's gonna stand up for a long time.
-
I haven't had any of my houses fall down yet, but I know of why Because they were level, plum and square.
-
I can take you in a nearby subdivision where that wasn't the case.
-
There's a whole street of houses that are not square.
-
They're parallelograms Like that or like this.
-
You can look down the driveway and the wall is headed.
-
You know.
-
Oh, it's terrible what some builders do.
-
I'm sure it's the same in auto mechanics.
-
What passes for an auto repair is really just a butcher job.
-
But I see a plum line between hot and lukewarm.
-
Jesus said you know I would that you were hot or cold.
-
Revelation, chapter three.
-
Talking to the pastor of the Laodicean church, he said I wish you were just hot or cold, either one.
-
But you're not, you're lukewarm.
-
And because you're lukewarm I'm gonna spew you out of my mouth.
-
Ooh, repent.
-
He said.
-
Lukewarm means that they were exposed to the heat and chose not to get hot.
-
That's the sin of it.
-
They can't plead ignorance.
-
They can't say well, I just never did hear about the Holy Ghost.
-
Yeah, they knew enough about the Holy Ghost to get close enough to know it was real and want it all.
-
But they didn't really want that much.
-
They just wanted a little dab.
-
They didn't wanna be reproached, they didn't wanna be caught lifting their hands or, even worse, running around in the church or falling out under the power or speaking out loud another time.
-
Oh no, we can't do that.
-
We've gotta maintain our dignity.
-
Lukewarm, exposed to the fire, and they step back from it.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
That's what I see.
-
I see that plum line and on that line I mean this is what it takes to get hot.
-
Oh no, I can't do that.
-
No, I'll do anything, but not that, not that.
-
Brother Hagin tells a story about his wife's mother, or Rhaitha's mother, in the early days of his ministry.
-
He was pastoring and his mother was Methodist and of course she'd heard about the baptism of the Holy Ghost and she was so interested in that and Brother Hagin knew it, and so he got a word of knowledge and he told Rhaitha.
-
He said tell your mama that if she'll come down to our church tonight, on Wednesday night, she'll get filled with the Holy Ghost.
-
Well, you know that sounds kinda nuts.
-
Why couldn't?
-
If she's interested in the Holy Ghost, why does she have to go to Brother Hagin's church to get filled with the Holy Ghost?
-
I mean, what's the big deal?
-
She can get filled with the Holy Ghost Anytime she wants.
-
He's everywhere.
-
Lift your hands and receive If you know what's for you.
-
And she kinda was persuaded that way and he didn't know why.
-
He said what the Holy Ghost gave him that and Rhaitha didn't know.
-
So sure enough, she comes and sitting in the back.
-
She's Methodist and belongs to the Methodist church down the street.
-
But here she is Wednesday night.
-
Let Brother Hagin know that hey, she serious about wanting the Holy Ghost.
-
And so he called her up and he said you know that gore you've got God wants to heal.
-
She had a big old gore on her neck, big old thing, big big swelling that she had been dealing with for quite some time.
-
So she came up kinda sheepishly and Brother Hagin laid his hands on her and that gore just went away and she hit the floor, speaking in other tongues, like a machine gun.
-
I mean, she was coming out.
-
There wasn't no oughta dotta, honda, honda, rhonda, let me drive you.
-
You know none of that man.
-
I mean, she was blasted.
-
So they talked to her after the service.
-
What you know?
-
What was the deal she said?
-
I know why the Lord had me come here, because I said one time that I would love to have the Holy Ghost, but I'll never set foot in that church down the street to get the Holy Ghost.
-
I'll just have to.
-
If that's what it takes to get the Holy Ghost, I'll have to do without.
-
So God put her on the spot, y'all with me.
-
Now I'm talking about.
-
She was lukewarm.
-
Oh, we don't want lukewarm, we can't stand lukewarm.
-
Lukewarm won't bring back.
-
The Lord's not coming back for a lukewarm church Amen, lackadaisical One that doesn't know what it wants.
-
That's the danger we live in America.
-
Everything's available.
-
We have more than anybody in the entire world.
-
Don't let the liberals tell you otherwise.
-
Listen, we are so rich.
-
I've been everywhere, just about I've been to Asia and Europe and there's no place like this.
-
There's some pretty places I know, beautiful as far as, but I mean availability of things for normal common people.
-
Europe is all about the God.
-
I believe they've fallen in the last 50 years Nowhere where they were.
-
Of course, we had the great war.
-
That was tough too.
-
So I see a plumb line between hot and lukewarm, between confrontation and resignation.
-
I'm just resigned to this.
-
I guess this is how it's going to be the rest of my life.
-
No, confront, confrontation.
-
No, this is leaving me.
-
I'm not putting up with this condition in my body, not another second.
-
I'm desperate, violent.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
Between desperate and disconnected.
-
You know, if you're desperate man, you're plugged in.
-
What happens when the light cord is disconnected?
-
The lamp goes out.
-
How desperate are you to receive what belongs to you?
-
I just asked the question.
-
It's a good question to ask yourself Are you as desperate as blind Bartimaeus?
-
Oh, there's lots of examples.
-
I just picked one cause, just.
-
I didn't want to be here all night long.
-
You could go on and on.
-
How about the woman with the issue of blood?
-
It's about as desperate as you get.
-
She's on the road, traveling and hemorrhaging at the same time, unclean, so she could have been stoned at any moment, violating the tenants of Judaism, violating the law.
-
How about the Syrophoenician woman who's not even Jewish, whose daughter is grievously vexed with the devil, and she cried out to the disciples and they told her get away, get out of here.
-
Jesus, get rid of her.
-
She cries after us.
-
You know what she wound up getting her daughter delivered and she didn't even listen.
-
It didn't belong to her, it did not legally belong to her, and Jesus gave it to her anyway because she was desperate.
-
She wouldn't let go.
-
She said oh no, healing's a children's bread.
-
I can't take the children's bread and cast it under dogs, called her a dog, most people would have long since left the church.
-
Over something, left Just the ushers treating her rude would have caused some people to go to out the door Ruchet, ruchet, much less the pastor calling them a dog.
-
You're just a dog.
-
She said truth, lord.
-
You said right, you're right.
-
But even the little puppies eat the crumbs off the master table.
-
Just give me a crumb.
-
Falling out of the side of your mouth, that's all it's gonna take for my daughter to get delivered.
-
Give me a crumb.
-
You won't miss a crumb, shirley.
-
You won't miss a crumb.
-
I don't need a loaf, I don't even need a slice.
-
Just give me a crumb.
-
That's what's called crummy faith.
-
But anyway, praise God On and on.
-
We just go off, we go on in a desperate people.
-
Desperate, I mean, they're violent.
-
Their faith is violent faith.
-
He's talking about John the Baptist there in Matthew 11.
-
Talk about violent.
-
Praise God.
-
Everybody say the desire of faith.
-
So how desperate, how zealous, intense, ardent is your faith and your desire.
-
So the word asked there in Mark 11, 24, and many other places John 15, seven.
-
If my word abides in you and you abided me, you'll ask what you will to be done under you Word asked there.
-
Yes, it does mean to ask for understanding, but it also means to make a demand.
-
You're making a demand not on God, but on the covenant that we have.
-
You're making it's like writing a check.
-
Checks used to have on their pay on demand and you just put the payee in the payor, you sign it, you're the payor.
-
The payee is gonna take the check to the bank and lay it there on the thing and he's gonna make a demand to get that money out of your accountant into his hand.
-
Amen.
-
So that's what that is.
-
That's all it means.
-
It just means writing a faith check.
-
You've gotta kinda know what belongs to you.
-
Your faith isn't any good on something that you're wondering about.
-
Well, I wonder if it's God's will.
-
Well, you gotta determine that already.
-
You gotta find out what God's will is and the thing that you're desiring.
-
Where is it?
-
Well, it's in the Bible.
-
What if it isn't in the Bible?
-
You have a witness from the Holy Ghost about the thing that you desire.
-
Amen.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
Amen.
-
Sometimes we have to demand the devil take his filthy hands off what belongs to us.
-
So there is a crying against.
-
Sometimes we pray like that.
-
We cry against Biden, we cry against the Democrats.
-
Where do you get that in the Bible?
-
Well, how about?
-
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it?
-
Its sin has come up before me.
-
He was sent on a mission to go cry against it.
-
And he didn't wanna do it.
-
Because?
-
Why?
-
Because he's a prophet and he knew if he cried against it they would repent and then God would not destroy it and then he would look bad.
-
That's the whole point of Jonah getting swallowed by the whale.
-
He was running them from God because he didn't wanna do what God told me to do.
-
He was too wrapped up in pride about his ministry to do what God wanted him to do.
-
And in the end that's exactly what happened.
-
And after he got, you know, he got kind of straightened out in the belly of the whale.
-
And when he got straightened out, you believe that.
-
I believe every word of the Bible.
-
I hear people all the oh, that's just a tale, that's just a fable.
-
No, you're a goofball.
-
I believe the Bible.
-
I don't have to explain it, I don't have to interpret it, I just believe it's what it says.
-
And when he went there.
-
You know what happened.
-
They all repented, from the King all the way down to the camels.
-
They all repented, every one of them sackcloth and ashes.
-
They fasted, they repented, man and God's anger turned away, and the Bible says that.
-
You know they were saved, and quite a few animals.
-
So God cared about the animals that didn't get destroyed.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
Everybody say the cry of faith.
-
Let's look at James, chapter five, and I'll try to wrap this up.
-
James is an end time book.
-
We're living in the end days.
-
I'm not just, I'm not watching my clock or anything like that that God's gonna come tonight or Jesus is gonna come tonight, or anything like that.
-
We're still got lots of things that have to be, but I'm telling you it's accelerating.
-
James, chapter five, verse one Go to now, which means come now.
-
Gather around, gather around now.
-
You rich men weeping howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
-
Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eating.
-
Your gold and silver is cankered and the rest of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh, as it were fire.
-
You have heaped treasure together for the last days.
-
I can't explain it, but I mean when I first got saved and I learned a little bit.
-
I came across the idea that there's come in a transfer of will Out of the hands of the wicked into the hands of the righteous, and I just have an eye for every scripture that has anything to do with you know, good man leave it and inheritance to his children and children and the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just Proverbs.
-
I mean, I could just sit here and quote all these scriptures but I am convinced it hadn't happened yet.
-
In fact it's happened the opposite.
-
There's the COVID.
-
That's been a huge outgo out of good people's hands into the hands of evil people.
-
I know that, I don't deny that, but I still believe that this right here is gonna happen.
-
These verses here are prophetic anticipation.
-
This is a prophecy.
-
James is prophesying about the end days.
-
He says I'm gonna gather the rich men together and I'm going to judge them.
-
I'm going to pull their wealth out of them.
-
It's gonna be like they can't get rid of it fast enough.
-
It's like they're getting rid of a hot iron.
-
They got a hot iron in the back pocket.
-
You know that thing that they use to brand cattle.
-
How would you like to have a red hot poker in your back pocket, you'd be ready to get that thing out of your back pocket and away from you, right?
-
So that's what their gold and silver is gonna be.
-
It's gonna be like painful for them.
-
They won't be able to get rid of it fast enough.
-
I don't understand.
-
Well, you don't have to understand it, just believe it.
-
I'm saying the Bible is true, this is gonna happen.
-
It's ahead of us, right, right ahead of us.
-
I keep waiting, looking for it.
-
I know it's coming.
-
Now.
-
The verse four behold the hire of the laborers or the wages of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, agricultural society.
-
But it still applies.
-
No matter whether you're agriculture or whether you're oil and gas or whatever you are, the laborers have worked for you.
-
And it says behold the hire or the wages of the laborers.
-
Everybody say the wages, the wages who have reaped down your fields, which is of you, kept back by fraud.
-
So there's money that you were owed as a laborer that you haven't been paid.
-
It's in somebody else's name.
-
Now you get the picture.
-
Let's just say it's $10,000 that you were owed.
-
You didn't even know you were owed it.
-
But God does.
-
Takes the books, he knows everything, all the money, all the cattle on a thousand hills, the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.
-
Everything belongs to him, doesn't belong to man.
-
So he's saying these men, these evil rich men, have gotten rich off of you.
-
They have withheld your wages and those wages then that have been kept back by fraud, those wages cry, cryeth, the wages cry.
-
Now you know, when I was getting revelation on this, I asked the Lord.
-
I said what, what about that?
-
The Lord?
-
How can money, how can a dollar bill cry?
-
He just simply said it's like blood.
-
Then I got it.
-
Money is an exchange for your life.
-
They give you your money, they give you your wages, they give you your salary and they buy your life In return.
-
You go down there and you work, you pay to get there and pay to get home.
-
Are you with me?
-
Now those wages are crying, and the cries of them that have reaped.
-
So there's a second cry.
-
Everybody say two cries.
-
So what are the two cries?
-
The cries of them which have reaped.
-
So, in other words, the wages and the laborers both have cries.
-
Now when I read this, started getting revelation, I hadn't done any crying out, but I sure got the message.
-
I sure got the message that I had a whole lot of money that had been cheated.
-
I'm not a victim.
-
I'm not coming this from a victim standpoint.
-
I'm coming at this from what belongs to us as blood bought Children of the Most High God.
-
That's why I'm not a victim.
-
You're not a victim.
-
We're not victim-minded.
-
We're not looking for reparations.
-
The whole group of people want reparations.
-
Are you nuts?
-
They're just going to print the money and write these checks and guess what?
-
The money's not going to be worth much, it's just going to All.
-
The prices are going up.
-
They've proven it Right of.
-
The price is going up because they've printed all the money and added it into the economy.
-
This doesn't work.
-
If you don't believe me, move to Zimbabwe, where a loaf of bread took you a wheelbarrow full of money.
-
They have bills that are worth $100 billion, don't they?
-
Even more than that?
-
I think.
-
At one point, when Maghabi was the dictator there, he just kept printing money and pretty soon money was.
-
What good is it?
-
You can't get enough to go use it for anything.
-
Now we're not that bad.
-
But if they, democrats, keep printing the money, are you all with me, of course.
-
They don't have to print the money.
-
All they have to do is electronically transfer something that's not even there.
-
Smoke and mirrors Are y'all with me now, so don't worry about that.
-
Because why?
-
Because God has a different economy.
-
I said God has a different economy.
-
Everybody say there's two cries.
-
So the cries of the wages.
-
They cry, and that word cry means cry continually.
-
So, in other words, your wages, wherever they are and whatever they are, whether you know about it or not, they're crying and they've been crying for as long as you have lived.
-
And really, when you study this out, not only your wages but also the wages of your family, your mother and your father, your grandmother and your grandfather, all the way back to perhaps, if you've got slave blood in you all the way back to slavery.
-
Just think about those wages that were not paid at all.
-
They might have got a little bit of food and a little bit of crummy shelter, and that's it.
-
They were slaves.
-
They did get paid.
-
You don't think God knew it.
-
Sure he did.
-
And those wages that have been defrauded have been crying for all this time.
-
They cry continually.
-
And then the cries of them, which have reaped another word you and I are entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of heaven and remain so for us.
-
We don't have to cry all the time.
-
When I read this years ago, god said why don't you have enough sense to agree with your wages?
-
Your wages have been crying.
-
Why don't you cry out?
-
And so I cry out for everything that is owed me.
-
I don't do it anymore.
-
Why?
-
Because I cried once and they remain in the ears of the Lord of the armies of heaven.
-
I don't have to keep crying about it.
-
I just thank God it's on its way.
-
I've had people cry out for their wages and I mean, just like that, god did a miracle.
-
I remember Ms Irma.
-
She had a miracle.
-
She worked for the post office and she had money she didn't know she had coming and her retirement plan, and I mean we had a service.
-
I don't know how long ago it's been a long time ago and she cried out and she got a big old check.
-
I mean somebody had to find that they discovered.
-
You didn't even file for it, did you?
-
They just discovered or did you file for it?
-
I don't remember.
-
Well, anyway, she got a big check.
-
There's more where that came from.
-
I said there's more where that came from.
-
I had a minister cry out and he had been a pastor for a number of years and he had helped family in Ohio, saved their marriage, counseled with them and everything, and I mean, you know, lost track and he wasn't pastoring anymore.
-
He's traveling on the field and all that.
-
But he cried out for his lost wages.
-
And about a week after he gets a check in the mail and a call from those people big old gift, $15,000 offering or something like that and they had been looking for him and couldn't find him and finally found him online and gave him an offering.
-
They wanted to thank God for his ministry.
-
And so I said, well, yeah, they wrote the check before he cried out.
-
Well, there's no time or distance in the spirit.
-
It's so silent in here.
-
Y'all must be well fixed.
-
Y'all must not need what's been defrauded.
-
I don't know, would y'all like to have it or you're not desperate?
-
You might not be desperate for yourself, but what about for the harvest?
-
Because the context of this entire thing is about the end days, harvest.
-
That's what it's all about, right?
-
This entire chapter, even the praying, even the praying, is all about the harvest, and so we need this money at the end days to fund the end time harvest, to send the laborers into the harvest.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
So these two cries, the context or the end times, we're the laborers and we have wages, so we need to agree with our wages.
-
Do you want to share or not?
-
If you don't, just let me know and I will take your share.
-
I'm going to say it's all intense and ardent.
-
I like that word ardent, it just means you're all in.
-
You're all in.
-
How many are you All in?
-
I thought so.
-
Well, it's the same across the book.
-
It's really the same across, not just for money, but it's also see money.
-
Money answers all things.
-
I mean, you know, the lack of money sometimes can cause people to go to heaven early.
-
They don't have access to what they need when they need it.
-
I mean, you know, sometimes you have emergencies, medical emergencies, and if you don't have any money you can't get to the medical emergency, you can't get treatment.
-
Sometimes you go to I know Jesus is a healer, I know, but sometimes the devil attacks and we don't have time.
-
Faith works with time, faith works in time.
-
The seed time in harvest is faith, and so sometimes the lack of money can cause an end of life.
-
I've seen it happen, praise God.
-
So let's stir up our desire.
-
Let's make sure that the thermometer on our desire meter is way up there, hot and just kind of lack of day's ago.
-
Make sure it's hot for the things that God has sent Jesus to pay for, amen.
-
Come on, let's lift our hands right now.
-
The desire of faith or the cry of faith, hallelujah.
-
Let's all stand together.
-
Glory to God.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Now I got to.
-
I didn't teach it all tonight, but I mean it goes back.
-
You know every generation why?
-
Because each generation will leave you an inheritance.
-
I mean you know, if your grandpa went broke, then he didn't leave you an inheritance.
-
But what if he was defrauded?
-
I think about my folks.
-
They came up, they were married in 1932, at the height of the depression.
-
My dad was a blue collar worker.
-
He worked and then he made an investment in oil and became and got in the oil business, a little oil operator in Refurio, texas, for about 10 years.
-
But before and after that, I mean he worked so hard in fact it killed him.
-
He got asbestosis, died of cancer because he was around asbestos.
-
You talk about defrauded.
-
You talk about somebody that died at 1966, instead of 86,.
-
All of his brothers, his three brothers, all were in their 90s.
-
That was his DNA.
-
How much is that?
-
How much is that worth?
-
And how much did he not leave his four kids?
-
I don't know, but God does.
-
I see these ads for Mesothetian Leoma.
-
You know, if you've been worked around asbestos, you know there's billions of dollars and you just apply for it.
-
Well, you know we didn't apply for any of them.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
Hey, I don't know what your circumstance is.
-
I went back and looked at my own parents.
-
Then I looked at my grandparents, who were immigrants on both sides, and they left an unsavory situation where they were hurting financially.
-
That's why they left.
-
They left Germany, went to Switzerland, then he came to America, and why?
-
Well, because things were bad.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
I don't know what your circumstances are, but if you start thinking about it, there is defrauded wages.
-
That have been crying all this time and they've entered into the Lord of the armies of heaven.
-
And who is that?
-
That's Jesus.
-
He's the one who commands angels.
-
So we're going to lift our voices and we're going to have a cry, not a victim hood, but a cry of faith.
-
We're going to cry the name of Jesus and Jesus.
-
We're agreeing with our wages.
-
They've been crying all this time.
-
Now we're going to agree with our wages.
-
Come on, let's lift our voice.
-
Jesus, we want our wages.
-
We want our defrauded wages.
-
Jesus, we make a demand on our covenant Jesus.
-
Now, let's thank Him, right now, let's thank Him.
-
Glory to God, hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Now let the record book in heaven record that we cried out and agreed with our wages tonight, february the 27th 2022.
-
So you don't have to keep crying out for those, because you just did it.
-
Your wages have been going on and they'll keep crying, but now you've added your agreement and so now, every time you think about, all you got to do is lift your hands.
-
Thank God, there's a transfer of wealth coming out of the hands of the wicked into my hands.
-
I just want what belongs to me.
-
Lord, I don't covet.
-
Listen, I'm not going after Apple.
-
I could start naming horrible corporations.
-
No, I'm not coveting what they have.
-
There's no covetousness here.
-
I don't covet what specific people have.
-
It's the kingdom of darkness.
-
That's where the money is coming from.
-
It's coming from the kingdom of darkness.
-
Amen, come on, let's thank Him one more time.
-
Hallelujah, glory to God.
-
Hallelujah, praise God, you can be seated.
-
Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah.
-
Thank you, lord.
