to help us. He's able to move for us, He's
-
able to come by in a mighty way. Micah, chapter
-
number eight, I mean seven, verse number eight. When you
-
got it, saymen, Bible said rejoice not against me, Oh,
-
my enemy, when I fall, I shall arise. When I
-
sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
-
And if the Lord had helped me tonight and now,

I didn't get this from no other preacher or nobody
-
like that. So I got this from God. I want

but not out. Come on. We know that Micah wrote
-
this book here. He's a prophet, and Michah knew that

he was gonna get back up. Now. Michah prophesied about
-
the time as Israel. As Isaiah had warned both the
-
northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah
-
would face destruction you to their but Michael was telling
-
them that there's hope and a future of restoration right here.
-
Despite the severe warnings, the book offers hope to those
-
who repent and trust in God. Hey, but I want
-
you to know right here tonight you got to bleeve God.

The book contains priphecy of judgment for Israel and Judah.

-
eight and he said, rejoice not against me. Hold my enemy.

-
I need a miracle. I need the hand of God. Hey,
-
come on here now. I went for my surgery and
-
here's what they told me. We no longer take your insurance.
-
And I look at him, I said, man, one week
-
before surgery, and I said, I'm sure glad God ain't
-
like you. Come on here now, I said, I believe
-
God will help me. Come on here now. And you
-
all remember August Wee's in revival right here with brother
-
Chuck Scribner. Come on their eyes back there. And I
-
still have a little boot on, hadn't had my surgery yet.
-
And buddy, I'm telling you what he said. I got
-
up right in the service and the Lord said, I
-
want you to run up and down them steps. I
-
run up and down. I'm right here, run up and down.
-
I'm right here, up and down, I'm up and down.
-
I'm humping down on. Hey, come on, here now, and
-
you know what. I looked at his sister brought and
-
I said, God just healed them Achilles. Come on now,
-
I said, God, just heal my achilles at Bethel, come on.
-
I went to the doctor two days later to be
-
scheduled for surgery for Achilles. When I go in there,
-
here's what he said. We vaterated. We've done this. You
-
can take that boot off. I don't know who you are, hey,
-
but your Achillings are back together. Hey, come on right
-
here now, I'm telling you what. God's a healer, I said, God,
-
chay healer, my devil, I said, I got you now, Hay,
-
you out of it? Hey, no, I ain't. I'm back
-
up now. I'm telling you the glory of God has
-
come by in the mighty way. Had come on. He said,
-
after a year and thirteen days, he Achilles don't heal theirself.
-
I know it didn't heal itself. But I got heal
-
right here, right here now. When I done it? Now,
-
I got out running. I felt like a fool. I'll
-
just be honest with you. I said, everybody's looking at you.
-
Come on. I didn't care. Come on, if I knew
-
I'd get healed again. I'd run up and down them again.
-
Come on here now, so here, here's where I wanna
-
get to. And so got that of heil. Now that's
-
on the same leg. That's my bad knees on. And
-
so they said, we're gonna refer you back to another orthopedics.
-
We're your in thee something's wrong with it. It's swelled up.
-
And I said, OK. So I drove back from Alabama
-
to Georgia, had one test, and they had drive back
-
to next week from Alabama to Georgia and get a
-
bone scan. And here's what the doctor told me, you orthopedic.
-
Here's what he said. He said, Number one, I think
-
you got infection in it. And he said, if he's
-
infecting that knee, we got to put you in the hospital,
-
cut the knee back out, and run IVY in you
-
until we get infection out. If it's three months, you'll
-
have to lay there. And I said, oh God, don't
-
let that be no infection. And the next week I
-
had a bone skin on it. And so here he was.
-
Now they told you what I got would last twenty years.
-
And I'm thinking, man, I'm on the year and forty
-
days into it. And I said, it ought to last.
-
And so he said, it's going to be three weeks
-
before I call you with the results. I said, how
-
far are we back? And Brother Philip, before I could
-
get back to Alabama, here's what he said. Good news,
-
no infection in it, he said, But the bad news
-
is you got to have a revision. And I said,
-
what's the revision? He said, we got to cut it
-
out and put a new one in. He said, after
-
a year, in forty days is coming apart, the top
-
of the knees coming off. That's why I'm having so
-
much problem. So he referred me to another orthopedics. He said,
-
I can't do it. So I had to wait forty days,
-
forty five days to get the paperwork ship to them.
-
Finally get it to them, and then this orthopedic said,
-
I hate to tell you, but I can't do it neither.
-
And now I've been waiting sixty days for this third
-
orthopedics and just to look at it to see if
-
he could even do it. They said, this time is
-
going to be more scar up the leg and more
-
scarred down the leg. Is it ain't gonna just beat
-
a knee cout because all of it's longer in there
-
and all this and timely. Today, after sixty days, they
-
booked me for January the twentieth to sea about it. Hey,
-
come on now, but you know what I'd like to
-
leave out of Bethel? I told him, Brother Roger Foster's
-
right there, your friend. I's a preaching their tusay last week.
-
And I told him, I said, I can't wait to
-
get back to Bethel. I said, I'm gonna run up
-
down them steps and hoping God healed to me. It's
-
on the same foot right here. Why can't If God
-
can heal the Achilles, why can't he heal that me.
-
I said, I'll run right back up and down. And
-
I'm telling you what I believe God, it's gonna move.
-
If I told that doctor this is what I told him.
-
If I said, you keep on fooling around, and I said, God,
-
I'll heal it. Hey, come on, that's what happened before.
-
And I'm telling you right here, Hey, the devil's sight
-
every way. Could hey to get us down? Hey, but
-
I'm back up, I said, I'm back God, I'm getting
-
up from there. I'm telling you God's gonna hell. Hey,
-

-
do this for precautious. We're gonna give you twelve more treatments,
-
and said and she knew she didn't need it. You know,
