Life Conference 2019: Session 5 - Dr. Yan Venter (February 3, 2019) | Life Bible Church

I tell you what, this weekend, you know, when

you go around ministering like I do, you hardly

ever get a chance to really get ministered to.

And this weekend, I got ministered to, Brother

Tony. You really ministered to me. And, you know,

with Pastor Brad and his team and his family.

It's just such a phenomenal atmosphere. You know

that. This is your home. And what is happening

here, this church is nothing less than spectacular,

not because of what he's done, but what the Lord

has done, you know. And I was sitting there thinking,

you know, that success breeds jealousy. It does.

so aware over the last few years of extreme levels

of jealousy that has been directed against this

ministry, this man and his family. You know,

jealousy to the point of, you know, you've noticed

it with President Trump, how the jealousy against,

you know, the anger that comes with that kind

of a jealousy is just incredible. While that

was happening here, the jealousy, I've watched

God turn that jealousy into nothing. I mean,

come on, can I hear an amen? Into nothing. And

so what happens, you know, it's like I said on

the first part of the service here this weekend,

that God has already instructed this land to

yield. The harvest. The land will yield the harvest.

There'll be no jealousy, no one, and some of

it comes from top levels elsewhere. None of those

can affect it because God has given a commanded

blessing, and that commanded blessing stands.

Go ahead and praise him. It stands. You know,

every time that I have been here, Over these

last few years, God produced something in my

spirit. And no less than four different times,

it was a book. I enjoy writing. But three different

complete books have been birthed in my spirit

right here in Harrisburg. You know, come on,

just give the Lord a praise offering. It's just

been phenomenal. The last one that I did was

this one here. In fact, we just released it.

It's called So Many Dads But Not Many Fathers.

It's just a phenomenal subject that I believe

that every family really needs to get their hands

on. It is such an onslaught against the families

because that's where the strength lies. Strong

family, strong church. Strong church, strong

country. And so we just need to absolutely close

the doors against the enemy. You have no right

in my home. Me and my house, we are going to

serve the Lord. Go ahead and praise him. We also,

I've shared my testimony last night, or part

of it, and I have it in book form. You want to,

you know, the reason why you want to do that

is sometimes somebody is struggling. And I wrote

it as thin as I possibly could. Yeah, I'm serious,

because people don't like reading long, big,

thick books. And so I put this and made it very

factual, gave it to my doctor and asked him to

edit it. Because he's the one that worked with

me. This is really a remarkable testimony of

the supernatural touch of God. You want to get

a copy of that and take it home with you. You

know, also people have asked me through the years,

please put some of your stories in book form.

And when I did, it just prompted, you know, another

one and another one. This is the first one that

I did. It's there on the table. And I think I

have the second one in there also. It's called

You Won't Believe This. And the other one, It's

Hard to Believe It. You know, something like

that. I wrote it as bathroom reading material.

You know, short stories, you know, just a compilation

of short stories. And I'm telling you, it's good

for your health. You know, really, as you sit

there and read it, everything else is going to

happen the way it's supposed to. A release, a

total release, you know. So the last one. You

know, some of you have read the book, You Won't

Believe This, excuse me, The Naked Prisoner.

And The Naked Prisoner have been such, excuse

me for saying that, but such a hit. People have

said over and over, it's got to become a movie.

And so I've tried. I mean, I've tried every available

chance I could get to get somebody in Hollywood

to be interested. Just finally just gave up.

Until early last year, Hollywood contacted me.

And so what they did is somebody sent this man

a book. Greg Miller is the producer of Immersion.

They're the people that was partly involved or

mostly involved in producing the movie God is

Not Dead. How many of you have seen that movie,

God is Not Dead? And so they just signed contract

with me to make a movie. This is Greg Miller

right there, you know. Greg Miller Productions.

And give me the other one, the other slide. Is

there, yeah. That's, can you scroll down on that?

That's Emerging Productions. And the thing is

based on a true story. Now, go down, if you will.

Down, I don't know. Yeah, those are the actors.

They've already signed up. You know, Morgan Freeman.

He's not going to play me. Chris Pratt on the

left, he's the only one that they have not finalized

it with yet, but it seems very possible that

they're going to use him to play me. And that's

acceptable. And the one on the right is going

to be the one that plays Bessie. And I'm glad

I'm not doing the acting. You know, she's really

pretty. And all of these people are really sensitive

to the message of the cross. And Chris Pratt

especially. I picked him. because I think it'll

be really ideal. Give me the next slide, just

to show you the environment of the area, you

know, that it's going to be a very adventurous

movie. And so can you give me the one with the

e -mail for Greg Miller? I gave you the e -mail.

Yes? Greg Miller? Okay, while he's working on

that, let me just say, the reason I want to give

you the email, I would love for you to take down

the email, and if they don't find it, can you

please make an effort to find that email? And

this is what I want you to do. Since they are

going to obviously have to work on raising a

lot of money, there it is, it's going to be a

lot of money that they raise for the production

of this movie, like $60 million. It's very important

that I have people write in and let these people

know that you heard, and I want you to do it

in your own words, that you heard about this

upcoming movie, how excited you are, and you

can hardly wait. Just let God use you. Short,

just short emails. Write it to that if you don't

mind. I would so appreciate that. Finally, I

just want to say, you know, Pastor Brad and...

Pastor Jenny has been so gracious in the past

to allow us to ask for partners to partner with

us. And I'm not doing that this morning. But

I want to just say thank you. I use this opportunity

to say thank you to those that have partnered

with us. Please don't stop. We need your help

as much as we possibly can. And I'll tell you

one of the reasons we do that is because we go

to a lot of very small churches. I do not want

to be in the trap of only going to big churches

for the sake of money. But we have a budget to

cover. And so if you can, please continue with

that. If you feel like you want to partner with

us, I'll be at the table to sign books there.

And by the way, once I sign that book, I mean,

it becomes very valuable. I'll be at the tape

table to sign some books. If the movie book has

sold out, please go ahead and pay for the book,

and we'll ship it here to the church free of

charge. Go ahead, pay for the book, give them

your name and so on, and you'll get that book

here within a week or the latest two weeks. And

I just want to say thank you very, very much.

God bless you. Fantastic. I just love the fact

that God is doing, you know, when he promised

us through the prophetic word that this would

be a place where angels would ascend and descend

and to bring revelation, to bring healing, and

to know that, you know, and when we were clear

back in the white days, the Lord said that there

would be a worldwide touch. from this house.

You know, I mean, I'm thinking, oh, come on.

But it's happening, guys. It's happening. The

Lord spoke to me this morning right before I

came up and we were singing. He said, all that

I've promised shall come to pass. Just a reminder,

all that I've promised shall come to pass. You

know, we're so honored to have Deborah and Tony,

Tony's beautiful wife, Deborah, can you just

give the congregation a wave? Thank you. And

grateful to have Tony Kemp with us all the way

from the Illinois area, but they pastor pastors

and they are involved in so many things. Would

you just stand and welcome Pastor Tony Kemp,

Apostle, Prophet, come on. Give him a Life Bible

welcome as he comes to bring the Word of the

Lord. Thank you very kindly. If the person who

does the screen would just prepare. King James

Version, Isaiah 54, verse 6, and I'll cue you

Isaiah 54:6

when I'm ready for it. But first of all, I want

to give reverence to the Father, to Jesus, to

the Holy Spirit, and honor to Brad and Jenny

and their family. Let's give them a big hand

clap, shall we? To Dr. Venter, the great man

of God, let's give him. I have so enjoyed his

company and the revelation of the word and the

wisdom, the presence and the power of the spirit.

And last night it was so funny. How many of you

were here? Amen. Amen. And it was so powerful.

And I thank the Lord for a friend and for a partner

in ministry. Can I say amen? And can you say

amen? And I also want to give honor to the ministry

team and to all of you. Give your neighbor a

hand clap, would you please, for being here.

And I also want to give honor to my wife. It'll

be 40 years in May coming. And so, you know,

I think we have, because I think we just came

from Florida. I think I was in Florida three

times in January, and I think we only have like

15 books left. And it's called Face to Face with

God. Volume 1, we're editing Face to Face with

God, Volume 2. And, you know, I share the exact

same thought as Jan. The book is under 100 pages.

Everybody say, it's an easy read. And very, very

practical. And just let me say this to you. If

the Father... permits a problem, the Holy Spirit

wants to prompt you to ask a question. And the

question that the Holy Spirit wants you to ask

the Father once you are in the midst of a problem

is, Father, who and what do you want to be to

me now that you could not have been to me before?

And when you ask that question, years ago, the

Holy Spirit said to inquire of the Lord, pray

before you do anything. And prayer is a key to

entering into the spirit of wisdom and revelation

so you know what the Father wants to be to you.

what Jesus wants to do for you and in you. And,

you know, that's one of the reasons why, if you're

able to attend the prayer meetings before the

church service, because it prepares you for what

the Father has to say to you and what the Father

wants to do for you and in you through Jesus.

So you have the problem, and then you say, now,

Lord, who and what do you want to be to me now?

That you couldn't have been to me before. And

then the Lord gives you a promise. And I talk

about in this book, after he gives you the promise,

when he provides for you, it happens in one of

five different ways. Look at somebody say, so

you have to get the book. You know, we'll run

out. So, and it's $16. And my wife said cash

or check. And so, but you can go on to Tony Kemp.

What is it? TonyKempBooks .com. And so, yes.

Yes. This one. Yes. Yes. Yes. I never do interrupt

a preacher. But I just want to say. That, you

know, my observation about what's going on here

at the church concerning the prayer. You know,

I go around the world and I'm sure you'll agree

with what I'm saying. We don't see many churches.

In fact, I see very, very few churches that praise

the way you guys are praying here before church.

And I meant to say something about that. But,

Kelly, I'm just telling you that you and your

prayer team is doing a phenomenal work. And the

success of these meetings is based on that. Thank

you. No, no, no, no. Anytime. Well, see, I always

struggle with how much I should say. Yeah, I

can't say it all. Okay, let me say this before

I say that. One of the persons that I saw in

heaven was Noah. The best way for me to describe

Noah would be, brother, if you'll stand up for

me. Yeah, no, no, no, the man on the very end,

yeah. And turn this way a little bit. Can you

see him? Noah had that sort of a body type, but

he had a really, really, really long beard. Really

long. So now you can sit down now, brother. Thank

you. So let me just make you think. Not all animals

were in that part of the world. So they came

in by twos and some by sevens. So you have to

ask yourself a question. How did they get there?

So God had to translate some animals to where

the ark was. And then they walked in. Now you

have to ask yourself a question. How did Noah

and his wife feed all these animals? Where did

the waste go? And how do you stand the noise?

And especially when Noah and his family go in

and God shuts the door and then the flood begins

and then the ark does all this. So you have to

ask yourself a question. What happened? Well,

when all of these created beings by God came

in, God put them all into hibernation. including

Noah, his wife, and his family, and God froze

them. When I say froze them, in place, not like

froze. So that when the thing went, everybody

stayed in place, and God just put them all into

supernatural hibernation. And then toward the

end of the jury, God wakes up Noah. And then

you had the raven and you had the dove, right?

And then God wakes up all the animals and then

they walk out and bam, they go to all their respective

parts of the earth. And to this day, certain

animals still hibernate. Does that answer the

question for you? Doesn't it make perfect sense?

Yeah, okay. So I know. You'll have to recover

from that. I'll give you a minute. But the day

of Noah is upon us. And the Lord is coming. And

this is something I heard in heaven. I quote,

the Lord is coming very, very soon. I'll just

leave that there. Next part. Prayer before church,

during church, praise and worship sets the atmosphere.

Okay? And if I can use language, spiritual. If

you were to go outside, you will see clouds there.

But there are clouds that are present, but they

yield no rain. Right? But then there are clouds

created by certain conditions that cause it to

sprinkle. Cause it to rain. Cause it to have

a downpour or a deluge. Our prayer creates the

cloud and the conditions. And what we do or don't

do determines in a service if we just have a

sprinkle. A light shower? A heavy shower? A Holy

Ghost storm? Or a deluge? So, I have this stuff

that happens to me and sometimes, you know, so

anyway, it doesn't matter whether you believe

me because I know I'm strange. but it's not my

fault. But anyway, there was an angel up here,

and he was significantly tall, and he had wings,

and there was a cloud that started up here, and

it was extending out. And so, you know, this

African -American brother does this prophetic

song, and then Jenny is really doing a prophetic

song, and God's talking, and then... I think

little sister, you was kind of doing a little

prophetic song too, right? Wasn't that prophetic?

Mm -hmm, right, right, right. And then the two

brothers get up and they prophesy and I'm going,

hmm, the cloud's raining. So I'm going to speak

from the cloud and think of it this way. In the

day of Moses, they had a cloud by day. Everybody

say represents the presence of God. And so when

I say it that way, I mean the presence. And so

sometimes what prayer does, if we have sensitivity,

is it helps us to know what's in the cloud. Because

if you speak what's in the cloud and you respond

to the cloud of his presence, it rains. What

you need. And what the promise is. And the invisible

becomes visible. So if you would be so kind as

to put up Isaiah 54 verse 6 in the King James

Isaiah 54:6

Version. And so the Holy Spirit is speaking today

and he's saying, the Lord hath called thee or

the Lord calls you. As a woman forsaken, or just

like a woman who has been forsaken and grieved

in spirit, a wife refused when she was refused,

says your God. So here's the picture. The picture

is of a woman newly married who after she was

married, her husband decided he did not want

her anymore. And so she was rejected. The best

way to define rejection. is that feeling of being

unloved, unwanted, not cared for, insignificant,

abandoned, left, not paid attention to, not valued,

not feeling that you have worth to the person

that you want to be there for you. It is the

loss of being accepted and being loved. The opposite

of rejection would be acceptance, where you feel

loved. Everybody say, feel loved. So we're not

just talking about the thought. We're talking

about the feeling. So we're talking about the

feeling that's in the soul. rejection can happen

unintentionally. For example, mom and dad can

have the first child pop out, and that child

is very extroverted. The second child pops out,

and the second child doesn't want to be like

the first child, so the second child is introverted.

I certainly did not want to be like my older

brother. The third child pops out. Very gregarious.

And the first child gets the attention. And the

third child gets the attention. But the second

child doesn't perceive that they are getting

the attention as the first child and the third

child are. Which makes me think that perceived

rejection hurts as much as actual rejection.

Which means you can get stuck in a perception

that's not actual, but it's real hurt. Simply

put, rejection can take three sorts of manifestations.

When it is speaking to your character, it becomes

inferiority. And so through the lens of rejection,

you look and it... sort of goes like this. I

can do 10 things, eight of them right, but I

don't pat myself on the back. I focus on the

two I got wrong. And that's how I identify myself.

So I never quite feel like I measure up or I'm

good. And so this can get in the way of people

receiving answers to prayer, healing, or personal

ministry. Receiving it or ministering to others.

Now you may say, I don't have this issue. Well,

the reason I'm teaching this is so that you can

learn the revelation so you can minister to people

who do have the issue. Right? Then there's rejection.

That becomes self -rejection and it manifests

itself in the form of insecurity. So you didn't

look at me right. I don't think you like me.

You walked past me and you didn't even speak.

I don't consider the fact that you might have

something on your mind or something may have

just happened before you got here. Or you may

got an email or a phone call or a text. Or maybe

you and your spouse just had a slight disagreement

or a little bit of intense fellowship on the

way here. But I take it quite personally. And

I'm not sure that if you really knew me. you

would still like me. So I hide, and I become

a chameleon, and I appear to be whatever you

think just so that I can be accepted. Everybody

say insecurity. Now, why is it important to get

healed of this? Because personal insecurity will

become ministry insecurity. Oh, you didn't hear

me. then rejection can manifest itself as inadequacy.

I don't think that I can. And so you have, everybody

say rejection, self -rejection, depression. So

now I get down on myself. And I began to look

at all of my warts, and I look at my flaws and

my weaknesses and my defects of character, and

I major on that because there's a voice in my

head that says that's who I am, and anything

that's praiseworthy becomes minor. Even if my

traits that are praiseworthy far outnumber. So

then I wear my feelings on my sleeves and I'm

looking for hurt. Look at somebody and say, beware

of finding what you're looking for. Because you

will discover it even when it's not there. And

so because of that, I'm afraid to get too close

to you. So I'm going to reject you before you

reject me. So I'm not going to be transparent.

I am not going to be real. I can't be genuine

and I can't be authentic because my past experience

has told me. That if I'm that way, whether in

church or out of church, I'll be hurt. And so

then I engage in self -defeating and self -destructive

behaviors. And yet the root of it was rejection.

Or it can be rejection, self -rejection, hurt,

and then hate. I don't think you like me, I don't

like you either. You hate me, I hate you. You

hurt me, I'm gonna hurt you. And so now, You

self -suicide and you become a homicidal. You

know, you'd be surprised at the number of homicidal

saints there are in churches. I mean, somebody

even wrote a book on it called Can't We Just

Kill Them and Tell God They Died? I mean, you'd

be amazed. And how much hip hop there is in church.

You're going to make me lose my cool up in here,

up in here. You're going to make me act a fool

up in here, up in here. is not African American.

Look at somebody saying it goes everywhere. And

so this spirit of rejection and self -rejection

will ask you a question in first person. to get

you to believe that this is who you are. And

here's the question. I don't know what's wrong

with me. Now, I'm going to answer that spirit,

and I'm going to answer you. And it's going to

take you a minute. How many of y 'all love Jesus?

Raise a hand, unless you have a condition. Look

this way. Ain't nothing wrong with you. Something

is just missing. I will repeat. And I use bad

grammar on purpose. Ain't. Nothing wrong with

you. You just got something missing that the

Father wants to supply. Let me explain it another

way. I was just with a pastor. Great man that

got extremely revelatory. Name is Dr. Morgan.

Really revelatory. He grew up under some very

difficult, hurting circumstances. And he came

to know Jesus. But as he developed this intimacy

with Jesus, some of the hurt and pain in his

soul began to come out. And he was a young man.

I believe he was still in adolescence. Or no,

he was in his 20s. And so he got mad one day.

And he hit the wall. And, you know, left a mark.

And he's upset. And because God's a safe person

to direct your anger toward, he directed it toward

God. And that's not to say he used profanity

or vulgarity or anything like that. He just had

a burst of emotion in his frustration. You know,

everybody say irritation. Aggravation. Anger.

Rage. So that was the expression of it. And so...

After he gets done, the father speaks to him

in a voice he could hear. And the father says,

Victor, because I understand you, I love you.

And something in him changed. Because the father

was supplying something he was missing. Because

he never felt understood and loved. And when

the father said, Victor, because I understand

you, I love you. Something left. his soul. Something

left his mind. Something left his life. Something

left his body. And he was free. Something could

no longer influence him. Because my father, look

at somebody say, because my father understands

me. And he loves me. Look at somebody and say,

I'm receiving what's missing. See, this is what's

interesting about the father. The father really

don't call you out. Not like you think he does.

The father doesn't call you out. He calls you

up. He calls you. so that what is missing can

be imparted. So, I know a little about this.

Sometimes I have like these visions thing going

on. And, you know, look at somebody and say,

he's just a unique character. So libraries as

an idea didn't start on earth. And it doesn't

matter whether you believe me or not, when you

get to heaven, you'll find out that there are

libraries and books in heaven. I mean, your first

clue is this. In the book of Revelation, it says

the books were opened. Hello. So there has to

be a hall of records. Look at somebody say, hello.

And there's a book with your name on it, and

there's other books. In fact, I was with a prophet

friend of mine, and he died. Went to heaven,

and he was in the Hall of Records. And while

he was there, he meets Elijah, who pulls out

a book. And the book had this prophet's name

on it. And the book had lots of empty pages.

And the prophet, Elijah points out to him, you

got a lot of empty pages here, so you can't stay

here. Because you got to fill up your book with

the word of the Lord. Hey, you can do with that

whatever you want to do with it. It doesn't matter.

So he came back there, and then the brother could

prophesy. Woo! My goodness. So I'm looking at

this book. And let me give you a thought. What

if I was to say to you, and let's just go here,

in Luke 6, where it talks about, and I want to

reference this, where Jesus says, you know, 37,

be merciful, just like your heavenly father is

merciful. And don't condemn, you will not be

condemned. Don't judge, you won't be judged.

Forgive and you shall be forgiven. Let's look

at the judgment part of it. What if I was to

say to you that the prodigal son, rejected the

ways of his father and judged his father and

said, I don't want to be like him. And yet his

father was living in a state of prosperity. And

the son leaves home, asks for his inheritance

and leaves home. And the father knows the son's

got to learn a lesson because he's listening

to a voice other than his father's voice. Look

at somebody say rejection is listening to a voice

other than the right voice of a holy father or

the holy father. So he goes out and he partays.

Everybody say he partays. He don't just partay,

he partays. And when you're partying, a lot of

people want to spend your money. And then when

it's all gone, everybody leave his partay. And

the Bible says he comes to himself. Look at somebody

and say, you ought to look for yourself and find

yourself. And so he says, now, you know what?

I'm a Jewish boy. But I want to eat. I've really

hit bottom because I want to eat what the swine

eat. That ain't good. I think I need to go home.

But I'm going to show you how he misjudges himself

in his rejection. Because who knows who influenced

him to leave daddy to go party. So now he says.

I'll say, now, daddy, father, I sinned against

heaven and in your sight. I'm no more worthy.

I'm no more worthy to be called your son. Look

at somebody and say, the voice of rejection.

Make me a hired servant. Everybody say, self

-rejection. Meanwhile, the father is looking

for his son to come home. And the spirit and

the mindset and the attitude of the father is

very different from that of his son. Because

the scripture says, the father saw his son afar

off and ran and embraced him. And the son started

his spill. I'm no more worthy to be your son,

I've sinned. Make me a hired servant. And the

father says, you know what? I'm not listening

to you. I can't make you a servant because you're

not a servant, you're a son. Look at somebody

say, the father corrects the wrong judgment.

And the father brings out the best robe. I wonder

if it was one of the father's robes. Because

he had to have the best robes. Put a ring on

his finger, shoes on his feet. Look at somebody

say, you already received the identity of your

heavenly father. You know, he's the older brother.

How many of y 'all the older brother and the

older sister? Raise your hands. All right, raise

them high. I want to see all the older brothers.

Okay, okay. I want to let y 'all know I was the

baby. My mother was the oldest of several children.

She was the parental child. I'm like my mama,

only I'm the baby. My attitude toward my mother

was this. You will never be the boss of me. I'm

just like you. I'm going to be in charge. I'm

going to run this house. And I did too. What's

wrong with y 'all? How many of y 'all got a baby

brother, baby sister? Raise your hands. How many

of y 'all know you got trouble on your hands?

Amen. So the older brother judges the younger

brother. And judges his daddy. Look at somebody

say, you judge folk. I judge folk. Look, back

in the day when I was an athlete, football, basketball

star. When I was a freshman, the Minnesota Vikings,

somebody from there was looking at me. I'm from

the Missouri. I was prejudiced against all you

fluffy people. I would look at fluffy people

and say, how can you let yourself get so fluffy?

Have you ever noticed that you've become like

the people you judge? Has anybody else ever noticed

that? I used to be more fluffy. I'm less fluffy.

I love fluffy people. That's why the son has

an alcoholic father, becomes a drug addict. Because

alcohol can be, I'm going to leave you alone.

Look at somebody and say, reverse your judgment.

And so the father corrects the judgment of his

son in love, both the baby and the older brother,

and brings reconciliation. Look at somebody and

say, Jesus is getting ready to do something for

you right now. Look at somebody else and say,

the father is getting ready to do something for

you right now. Now, let me give you my own personal

experience because my dad. was and is brilliant.

He's like really super smart. Mom is in heaven.

My older brother's in heaven. Dad's still alive.

He'll be 99 in about a month or so. A couple

months. And Dad always used to say, listen, you

know, Mama was always kind of pushing me to be

perfect. I ain't doing that. Anyway. Just because

you said it, I'm not doing it. It's interesting

how rejection produces rebellion. So anyway,

after I got saved, I was really trying to get

everything right, and I was failing because I

was a new baby, new baby Christian. And so the

enemy was attacking my mind. and I felt rejection,

self -rejection, because of some other things

that was going on. And so I began to, I can go

to the spot of where I had this visitation. I

can go to the spot. And I'm crying out to God,

literally crying, and I start putting on God

how I was feeling, because we have a tendency

to project onto others what we ourselves are

feeling. I might even say this to you. What if

I was to say to you that when we are carnal,

or we're getting natural, We don't see others

as they are. We see others as we are. So I said,

Lord, you know, I think you've abandoned me.

And then all of a sudden, this presence surrounded

me. It was the most loving presence. And then

I heard a voice. And the voice said this. It

was the Father. And he said, I want you to have

an understanding. And then instantly, the Holy

Spirit began to speak to me about Jesus. And

this is what the Holy Spirit said. If you remember,

it says that Jesus was made the world. He came

into the world, but the world did not recognize

him. And so when you feel rejected, you don't

feel recognized. The Holy Spirit said Jesus came

to his own, but his own did not receive him.

He was rejected. Isaiah the prophet goes into

the future and describes Jesus and says he is

rejected and despised of men. As a result...

He's a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief,

the loss of love. Then all of a sudden, my eyes

opened up into a vision. And in the vision, I

see Jesus weeping over the city of Jerusalem.

And this is what he was saying. Jerusalem, Jerusalem,

how many times I would have loved. to have gathered

your children together, just like a mother hen

gathers her chickens underneath her wings. And

in that moment, and it stopped right there, I

knew I was completely loved and completely accepted

by the Father and by Jesus, and I was healed.

Listen to me carefully. I don't have self -esteem.

I have personal esteem given to me by my father.

I don't have self -worth. I have personal worth

as a result of a revelation and as a result of

receiving a heavenly identity from the father.

And Jesus, he supplied what was missing. When

he supplies what is missing, you move from what

is missing into the miraculous. And you begin

to see yourself through the Father's eyes. You

see your true self. And when you see your true

self, You are spiritually, mentally, emotionally,

and in many cases physically healed. Now, people

go through rejection. In some cases, it's mild.

In some cases, it's moderate. In other cases,

it's severe. But I was listening to the prophetic

words. And it all had to do with the father's

love. Where he was not calling you out, but he

was calling you up. Into who he is. And by getting

a revelation and by absorbing and being baptized

into who he is, you actually get a revelation

and you are baptized and immersed into who you

are. John said it this way, as Jesus is, so are

we in this present day. Say, why are you doing

this, preacher? Because there are people here

who have some sense of rejection. As a husband,

as a wife, as a father, as a mother, as a son,

a daughter, father -in -law, daughter, or whether

it be mild, moderate, severe. Or you need a revelation

and a message so you can minister to people and

get them healed and free. So every head bowed,

every eye closed. And if you're here this morning,

And you know that sense of failure. You know

that sense of, I'm just not good enough. I just

can't do it. I have a sense of inferiority or

insecurity. If that speaks to you in any way,

and the Holy Spirit says, I want to heal you

in your soul. if that speaks to you, and only

raise your hand if the Holy Spirit says, that's

you, I'm going to do something for you today.

You can raise your hand and say, that's me. Raise

your hand and say, that's me. Keep your hand

up. Excellent. You can put your hand down and

you can look up. Third John, I believe, says

this. Beloved, notice how it is the Holy Spirit

says that. You're loved. I wish above all things

that you prosper. In the Hebrew, it means to

have a good journey in the will of God and be

in physical health, even as your soul is healthy.

And so this has been a supernatural weekend.

It's been a weekend of healing, a weekend of

miracles. In fact, if I can give you a little

Greek interpretation of Philippians 4, where

it says, I can do all things through Christ who

strengthens me. What you're really looking at

there is a school. And the implication in the

Greek is this. I'm not talking about dunamis,

strength. I'm talking about can do. The implication

there in the Greek text is that God picks you

up and carries you to a place you can't even

get to on your own. Look at somebody and say,

I'm receiving that right now. And I'm prophesying

to you right now that as you're receiving your

healing, God is literally picking you up. Not

calling you out. He's picking you up. And he

is carrying you into a healing, into a deliverance,

into a freedom, into a liberty. You couldn't

get there by yourself, but he's taking you there.

We quote a scripture, it's interesting. I'll

just say it to you in the Hebrew. They that wait

upon the Lord shall renew their strength. But

the Hebrew word for renew, in English that we

say is renew, really means to exchange. And if

you go back 40, 27, it says the Lord doesn't

get tired. The Lord doesn't get weary. He can

run. He can walk. And then it says, they that

wait upon the Lord, they will exchange their

weakness for his strength, and then they will

run and not get weary. They will walk and not

faint because he gives power to the faint. Look

at somebody say, I'm being called up into who

he is. I'm being called up into who I really

am. Look at somebody say, I refuse to settle

for less. And so, because I've been there myself,

I want to urge you, if I could just, can we just

have an authentic moment? How many of you ever

judged your dad before? Raise your hands. Okay.

How many ever judged your mother before? Raise

your hands. How many, watch this. How many ever

judged a televangelist? Raise your hands. you've

ever judged a pastor before, raise your hands.

Raise them. All I want to get you to do is reverse

your judgment. Let me show you how powerful this

is. There was a man, his name was Robert. His

father was sick. They suffered financially because

of the father's illness. The father would get

well. The family would almost make it. The father

would get sick again. And he judged his father

because of his physical illnesses. Robert becomes

a real estate agent and he would make almost

a million dollar deal and it will fall through.

And then it was pointed out to Robert that he

needed to reverse his judgment on his dad. And

when he reverses his judgment on his dad, within

two weeks, he makes a million dollar deal. Second,

And I know this is going to be far out. I have

a good friend of mine named Ira. When he was

a child, he was made to cut the grass. He was

about 12 with a broken down lawnmower. And he

used to cuss that lawnmower because it didn't

work. Later on, he has some property. He buys

a $3 ,000 riding lawnmower. New. Everybody say

new. And it breaks down. It keeps breaking down.

And finally, he said, Lord, why is this thing

breaking down? And the Lord brings him back to

when he was 12. And he reverses his judgment

on his dad. And after that, the lawnmower starts

up and keeps working. I want to ask you a question.

Let's just see. How many of you are like me?

You judge somebody and within one year. you were

found yourself in the same situation or something

similar, raise your hands. Raise them high, raise

them high, look around the room. Look at somebody

and say, reverse your judgment. So, if you raise

your hand, and you need, you can look at right

now at a judgment that you need to reverse. I

want you to stand to your feet. Just stand to

your feet. If you can look at a judgment, you

need to reverse. We're going to do the prayer

in a minute for a healing of rejection. So I

just want you to think about the people you've

judged. One of the things I say to people is

if you're going to live by their praise, you're

going to die by their criticisms. If you need

their acceptance, you're going to suffer by their

rejection. Bow your head and say, Father, in

the name of Jesus, I have misjudged myself. And

I have misjudged others. And I repent right now.

And I reverse my judgments. Every bitter judgment.

Every carnal judgment. Every natural judgment.

Every sinful judgment. I reverse it. And you

forgive me. And you set me free. from every wrong

judgment. You set me free from the consequences.

Right now it stops and you're turning things

around in the name of Jesus. Now lift up your

hands for 30 seconds and give God a praise. you
