  1. How many of you were not here last evening? Raise

  2. your hands. Praise the Lord. Well, the way that

  3. I will teach this morning will be entirely different

  4. from last evening. So it just will be. That's

  5. all I'll tell you. So last evening was much more.

  6. Truth and experience, the word and the spirit,

  7. more of theology from a Hebrew and a Greek perspective.

  8. And today I will be much more, how shall I put

  9. it, experiential. So let's start with, oh, let's

  10. start with, Pastor Brad asked me to do a thing

  11. on signs, wonders, and the glory. If you'll put

  12. up on the screen, I think it's Isaiah chapter

    Isaiah 8:18

  13. 8, verse 18, somewhere. Yes. Praise the Lord.

  14. First, I want to give reverence to the Father,

  15. to the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit. And I want

  16. to declare that the kingdom of heaven is in this

  17. place, and I speak peace to all who receive it.

  18. And everybody said? Amen. And let's give a hand

  19. clap for Pastor Brad and his precious wife. And

  20. how many of you were really, really blessed by

  21. Dr. Venter this morning? Amen. All right. I and

  22. the children the Lord has given me serve as signs

  23. and warnings to Israel from the Lord of heaven's

  24. armies who lives in his temple on Mount Zion.

  25. Or King James Version says, I and the children

  26. the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders.

  27. Look at somebody and say, you're for signs and

  28. wonders. Now, if you'll give me Isaiah chapter

    Isaiah 60:1

  29. 60, verse 1. Isaiah chapter 60, verse 1. Arise,

    Isaiah 60:1

  30. Jerusalem, and let your light shine for all to

  31. see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine

  32. on you. Next verse. Amen. Amen. Arise and shine

  33. for your light has come. And the glory of the

  34. Lord will rise upon you. Darkness as black as

  35. night covers all the nations of the earth. But

  36. the glory of the Lord rises and appears over

  37. you. Okay. Look at somebody and say, are you

  38. ready? Okay. Signs, wonders, and the glory. So

  39. I am. I am in Amarillo, Texas. I'm in the hotel.

  40. I'm speaking at a conference. And I have a supernatural

  41. encounter. And there's this place in heaven.

  42. And I'm not going to go into all the details

  43. for the sake of time. And there are two angels

  44. standing right here. And so I go in and there's

  45. an angel with a scroll. And written on the scroll

  46. are these words. I quote, the watch of the Lord

  47. is the secret weapon of the apostles, the prophets,

  48. the seers, and the victorious church. The watch

  49. of the Lord is a key. to the intelligence of

  50. the Spirit and interpreting the will of God.

  51. Now, I want you to go beyond the thought of watches,

  52. like, for example, the evening and the morning,

  53. the first day, 6 to 9, 9 to 12, 12 to 3, 3 to

  54. 6. I want you to go beyond that in your mind

  55. to just simply... Watching God. Look at somebody

  56. and say, watch God. Okay. Because in the book

  57. of Hebrews, and we're talking about the supernatural.

  58. And Dr. Venter told you that God, by definition,

  59. is supernatural. And because you're in Jesus,

  60. look at somebody and say, you're supernatural.

  61. Now, I'll just mention this in passing. I can

  62. choose to live from the perspective of who I

  63. am in the earth, or I can choose to walk out

  64. here upon the earth who I am from heaven. Yes.

  65. Because you have your earthly identity. And you

  66. have your heavenly identity. Your earthly identity

  67. many times is who your father thinks you are,

  68. your mother thinks you are, your brother or sister

  69. thinks you are, or the neighborhood or community

  70. thinks you are. Okay? Or who you think you are.

  71. Because even in terms of who you think you are,

  72. from the natural mind, you have the person that

  73. you think you are. You have the person that other

  74. people tell you you are. You have the person

  75. that you fear you are. And then you have the

  76. person that your heavenly father says you actually

  77. are. And if you're going to flow in the supernatural,

  78. it really flows out of who you are in the eyes

  79. of your father through Jesus. Okay? I'm just

  80. letting you know. I refuse to allow anyone to

  81. define me naturally. I have to be defined by

  82. the word of my heavenly father in Jesus and the

  83. Holy Spirit. Does that make sense to you? Okay.

  84. So book of Hebrews will say this. Let us run

  85. this race with patience, looking to Jesus, who

  86. is the author and the finisher of our faith.

  87. But now, if I can just give it to you in the

  88. Greek, actually what it actually says is to look

  89. away from all that distracts to Jesus. Look at

  90. somebody and say, watch Jesus. Okay. Things that

  91. happen around you. can distract you from entering

  92. into the supernatural that Jesus purchased for

  93. you and the Father has for you. Look at somebody

  94. and say, stop letting yourself be distracted.

  95. Okay, now let me go further. Okay. The intelligence

  96. of the Spirit is revelatory. but the vocabulary

  97. of the Spirit is prophetic. I will restate. The

  98. intelligence of the Spirit is revelatory, but

  99. the vocabulary of the Spirit is prophetic. Okay?

  100. So, when Jesus talks about, in Matthew 6, like,

  101. you know, verse six or that whole chapter. He

  102. says, now when you pray, pray to your father

  103. in secret and your father who sees his secret

  104. shall reward you openly. So when I pray, I expect

  105. a reward. Right? So Jesus said, when you fast,

  106. fast to your father in secret. You know, you're

  107. looking at chapter six. Chapter 6, like verse

  108. 6 and like verse 17, 18, all that. Jesus said,

  109. when you fast, fast to your Father in secret,

  110. and your Father sees in secret or rewards you

  111. openly. Okay, there it is. Then your Father sees

  112. everything or rewards you when you pray. Okay?

  113. So, I expect a reward. Does that make sense to

  114. you? So. How did it really begin for me? How

  115. it began, it began actually in 1983, the month

  116. of July, either the 27th or the 29th. I can't

  117. remember. It's been a while. But in any case,

  118. the Lord spoke to me. And he said, I want you

  119. to fast for 14 days. I want you to read the book

  120. of Daniel three times. And he said, I'm going

  121. to give you revelation and prophecy. That's what

  122. he said. So I figure, like Dr. Yantra said this

  123. morning, he said, hear God. Everybody say, hear

  124. God. Do what he says. And the supernatural follows.

  125. So I started reading the book of Daniel. Well,

  126. okay. So I spent actually, okay, I guess I will

  127. tell you this part. In 18 months, I lost 80 pounds.

  128. I did a lot of fasting. I actually was a vegetarian

  129. for about three years. And the reason I did it

  130. was to deny myself so I could enter the realm

  131. of the spirit. Okay, you don't have to do what

  132. I did. But it's what I needed to do. How many

  133. of you are hearing what I'm saying? Okay. So,

  134. you know, Daniel was confronted with certain

  135. kind of foods, and he decided to go with a biblical

  136. diet. And then it said something very interesting.

  137. It said after that, he had visions and dreams

  138. and revelations from God. So can I just throw

  139. something out at you? What if Adam and Eve had

  140. been fasting that the day that the evil one said,

  141. go and eat. So through fasting and prayer for

  142. me, I developed my spirit. Look at somebody say

  143. the Holy Spirit. Once you develop your spirit.

  144. Okay. Honestly, I pray a lot in tongues. Sometimes

  145. much more than English. And, okay, let me just

  146. answer a question. I am not looking to experience

  147. the presence of the Lord or what we actually

  148. call the anointing around me. I'm not even looking

  149. to do that. I pay attention to the inner presence.

  150. Your body's the temple of the Holy Spirit. The

  151. Holy Spirit lives within you. I'm not trying

  152. to sense any big anointing falling on me. I'm

  153. just paying attention to the inner presence.

  154. So I'll pray in the spirit. and get in touch

  155. with the inner presence of the Holy Spirit. I

  156. ain't trying to feel nothing here. I rarely do.

  157. Rarely. I mean, I can tell you some amazing miracles.

  158. I don't feel nothing, honey. I'm not trying to

  159. feel nothing. I'm trying to hear and obey. But

  160. if you feel something wonderful, how many of

  161. you are hearing what I'm saying? Okay. So I focus

  162. on the inner presence. Now, there's lots of reasons

  163. why I pray in the spirit. I give you one. This

  164. is just to make your head, make you think. We

  165. read this scripture over in Romans where it says,

  166. all things work together for good to then the

  167. love God be called according to the purpose.

  168. And we. quote that as if that scripture is isolated,

  169. but we don't quote what's in front of it, right?

  170. That the Holy Spirit, we don't know how to pray

  171. as we ought, but the Holy Spirit, Greek, takes

  172. hold with us against our weakness, which is we

  173. don't know what to pray. And the Spirit makes

  174. intercession for us with stenography, God talk.

  175. Everybody say groans. And the father who searches

  176. the mind of the spirit knows what he's saying.

  177. Because the spirit prays according to the will

  178. of God. So here's the problem with me praying

  179. in English. With regards to problems, when I

  180. pray in English, I'm always praying behind the

  181. problem. I can pray ahead of the problem. Look

  182. at somebody and say, you can pray in the spirit

  183. and you can stop the problem before it arrives.

  184. Or instead of it being a 10 when it hits you,

  185. it's a two. Look at somebody and say, you ought

  186. to pray in the spirit. So I spent a lot of time

  187. praying in the spirit. And I came from a family

  188. of intellectuals. I probably should say this

  189. to you. Dad had his doctorate. Mom had her master's.

  190. Mom was 90, went to be with Jesus. My older brother,

  191. he's with Jesus. Dad's 98, and he'll be 99. And

  192. end of February, he's trying to decide whether

  193. he wants to live to be 100 or not. My dad's like

  194. super smart. I mean, who reads physics like for

  195. fun? Okay. So my battle to enter the realm of

  196. the spirit was not intellect. It was intellectualism.

  197. Okay. Everybody say intellectualism. Okay. Everybody

  198. say reason. Okay, what reason is to the natural

  199. man? Revelation is to the supernatural man. The

  200. reason I had to fast and pray was I had to pray

  201. out of the natural into the supernatural. I had

  202. to bypass my head. praying in the spirit to get

  203. out of reason into a revelation. Look at what

  204. somebody said, because where revelation is, God

  205. is. Okay. Which means sometimes when you cannot

  206. sleep at night, it is not insomnia. It's the

  207. Lord is seeking you because he wants to give

  208. you a revelation to bring you into something

  209. you have not been into before. Okay, I'm going

  210. to show you. How many of y 'all had sleep disturbance

  211. lately and felt the need to pray? Keep your hands

  212. up and look around the room. That's like why

  213. I said it. Brad asked me last night, what you

  214. going to do tomorrow? Don't know. Don't know,

  215. don't care. Just pray in the spirit. See, I can

  216. say stuff that will make you scratch your head

  217. because I have this angel that's like a sign

  218. to me. And so, like, I'm not normal. I'm okay.

  219. I'm like really having a lot of fun. I told the

  220. Lord that if I'm going to be here on earth, he

  221. has to make an adventure. And so like I have

  222. this angel and his thing is to tell me what to

  223. do. So he talks to me while I do this. This is

  224. why I can stand up here and say that there's

  225. a number of you, so I don't really prepare messages,

  226. really. I prepare me. And the Lord talks to me,

  227. and I can't hold all this stuff in my head, so

  228. like I have to put it in my phone. But so like,

  229. some of you, okay, let me say this to you. When

  230. the spirit of a fast comes upon you, it's because

  231. the Lord is trying to prepare you for a seasonal

  232. change. This is why some of y 'all have begun

  233. to lose your appetite. I'll prove to you it's

  234. true. All of y 'all that this has been happening

  235. to recently, raise your hands and keep them up.

  236. Look around the room. So I'm prophesying. He's

  237. trying to bring you into a new season. So here's

  238. what you do. You keep an old instruction. And

  239. as long as you keep an old instruction, you're

  240. in an old season. What you have to be is you

  241. have to be in a condition in the realm of the

  242. spirit. You have to position yourself to hear

  243. from the Lord. so that you can get a new instruction

  244. to go into a new season. So, if you're a leader,

  245. how can you lead the people in the now if you

  246. are encounterless? You're only leading by memory.

  247. Because my question to you is this, what's God

  248. saying right now? Okay, so let me go on. So one

  249. of the names I have for God, I call him infinity

  250. because he has no limit and all things are possible.

  251. So I go to bed one night and the Lord starts

  252. talking to me somewhere in the night. Sometimes

  253. I don't know if I'm awake or I'm asleep or if

  254. I'm in between. So the Holy Spirit starts talking

  255. to me about how to touch the Father who is infinity.

  256. And so I'm just going to give you some bullet

  257. points. Okay? I want to enter the supernatural

  258. in Jesus. Number one, repent of all sin. Repent

  259. of all sin. Metanoia. Turn. against and away

  260. from all sin. Acts 3, like 19, 20, 21, Peter

  261. says, repent and be converted. The Greek word

  262. converted is epistrapo. Everybody go epistrapo.

  263. It's actually a military word, and it actually

  264. means to make an about face. So you change your

  265. mind, and then you change your behavior. So if

  266. you want to enter the supernatural, let Jesus

  267. constantly be changing your mind. Number two,

  268. anything that you're thinking, saying, or doing

  269. that generates doubt, either doubt toward God

  270. or self -doubt, look at somebody and say, get

  271. rid of it. Lay it aside. I'm just telling you

  272. this revelation. Number three. Listen to and

  273. obey the Holy Spirit. Listen to and obey the

  274. Holy Spirit. Number four, walk in and confess

  275. the Lordship of Jesus. You know, sometimes I

  276. think we fail to actually pay attention to history.

  277. And let me give you something that's historical.

  278. A great move of God happened in the United States

  279. way back in the early 1900s, Azusa Street. But

  280. somewhere in that revival, somebody stood up

  281. and gave a prophecy. And this is what was said.

  282. In the last days of the great Pentecostal movement,

  283. the people will do three things. One, they will

  284. praise the God they no longer pray to. Church

  285. is all over, do praise and worship, but we don't

  286. pray. In fact, somebody said this, you can tell

  287. how popular a church is by who goes on Sunday

  288. morning. You can tell how popular a church is

  289. on Sunday night, how popular the pastor is by

  290. who comes on Sunday night. And you can come tell

  291. how popular Jesus is by who comes to the prayer

  292. meeting. like Dr. Yon, I mean, I do my best sleeping

  293. at 5 o 'clock in the morning. So I just pray

  294. whenever as I go. You know what I mean? I just

  295. pray as I go whenever that happens to be. And

  296. I do pray a lot. A lot. Because I'm at my best

  297. when I pray. Part number two. Part number one,

  298. I'll repeat. The people will praise the God they

  299. no longer pray to. Number two, they will emphasize

  300. power over righteousness. We're talking about

  301. the Pentecostal folks. Number three, they will

  302. emphasize the gifts of the Spirit over the Lordship

  303. of Jesus. Now, Everybody say balance. So I need

  304. prayer and praise. I need righteousness and power.

  305. I need the gifts of the spirit under the lordship

  306. of Jesus. Now, again, I agree with Dr. Young.

  307. This should concern you. You have a world who

  308. is running toward the what's. The dark supernatural,

  309. which is really called the preternatural realm.

  310. Harry Potter, Twilight, werewolves, vampires,

  311. the walking dead, spells, cartoons. You got a

  312. world running toward the supernatural. Haunted

  313. houses, paranormal activity. And you have a church

  314. running from the supernatural. Look at somebody

  315. and say, what's wrong with this picture? Okay.

  316. Let me tell you what's going on in the spirit

  317. world. The enemy wants the supernatural all to

  318. himself. And, okay, I should back up. I'm from

  319. Missouri originally. Missouri is the, everybody

  320. say the show me state. You are now dealing with

  321. a generation, millennials, Xs, Ys, Zs. They are

  322. not impressed with what you got to say. Look

  323. at somebody and say, show me something. Now,

  324. if I go to Acts 1, Luke, the beloved physician,

  325. says, the former treatise have I made, O Theopolis,

  326. God lover, of all that Jesus would, everybody

  327. say, do. And teach. Now, you know, it's funny.

  328. In the Western culture, and don't take this the

  329. wrong way. My brother was a teacher and so was

  330. my mother. But we have a saying here in the West.

  331. Those that can't do. But the Hebrew culture is

  332. what qualifies you to teach is your ability to

  333. what? There comes a point in time where this

  334. generation no longer wants to hear a sermon.

  335. They want to see one. Jesus said, those who do

  336. the commandments and teach shall be called great.

  337. Look at somebody and say, it's time for you to

  338. do something. Are you still okay? So. Look, I

  339. received Jesus at 72. I refuse to be bored. Look,

  340. if Jesus don't come to church, I ain't coming.

  341. Look, I'm the preacher. I done told God. Don't

  342. let me stand up and preach by myself. You better

  343. be here with me. Don't take this the wrong way.

  344. I need to enjoy the message. Because you ever

  345. had a preacher up here and you can't wait for

  346. him to get done? No, I'm not talking about up

  347. here. I'm talking about in church. It's like,

  348. dear Jesus, help me. Help her. Lord, I... What

  349. time am I supposed to be done? Now? In 15 minutes.

  350. So, here's the deal. Okay. So, here's the deal

  351. with me. I like being by myself. With Jesus.

  352. I like being by myself with Jesus, the Father,

  353. and the Holy Ghost. Because when I get done praying,

  354. I shut my mouth. No, no, no, no, no. I'm really

  355. going somewhere. Because there's a scripture,

  356. and I do want you to put this up, and I gave

  357. you no warning. But it's Psalms 46 division,

  358. verse 10. And I'll give this to you out of the

  359. Hebrew, because there's a reason why. And this

  360. is your English. Be still and know I'm God, okay?

  361. But in the Hebrew, you would translate it this

  362. way. Let go and know I am. Okay, now you need

  363. to hear me. What? do you do right before you

  364. fall asleep? You let go. Everybody say, you relax.

  365. Okay. So, okay. I'm not going to go into this

  366. a whole lot. One of the persons I saw in heaven

  367. was the prophet Samuel. If you go back and look

  368. at Samuel's history as a child, 1 Samuel 3, he

  369. would lie down and everybody say he'd relax.

  370. And there's no coincidence that the Holy Spirit

  371. talked about the Ark of the Covenant, which represents

  372. the presence and the glory, right? Everybody

  373. say relaxation comes before revelation. Isaiah

  374. said, with stammering lips and another tongue,

  375. I'll speak to this people and I'll... calls the

  376. weary to what? Rest. So one of the reasons I

  377. pray in the spirit is because it gets me in a

  378. state of rest. And in that state of rest, I come

  379. into a revelation because that's when the Lord

  380. comes. So before I go to sleep, boy, there's

  381. so much to be said. I set my mind and my heart

  382. toward heaven. Because when I let go of my conscious

  383. mind, then I can come into the spirit of revelation.

  384. Ephesians 117, may the father of glory, the God

  385. of the Lord Jesus Christ, give you the spirit

  386. of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of

  387. the father. that the eyes of your heart or your

  388. understanding, cardia dianoia, that your eyes

  389. may be enlightened, photizo, flooded with light.

  390. And so then I can have properly framed photographs

  391. of the kingdom of heaven or panoramic moving

  392. pictures, and the Lord can show me stuff. So

  393. then every one of us have a capacity for revelation

  394. if you're born again. and obeying the word of

  395. God. So the Lord gives you a peace. Everybody

  396. say a peace and a part. Everybody say you know

  397. and part. I mean, this is important. So when

  398. you get the revelation, you wake up. Look at

  399. somebody and say, wake up and remember. Okay.

  400. Everybody say revelation. Remember. Record. I'm

  401. going to say it again. Everybody say revelation.

  402. Remember. Record, revisit. Now, when you revisit,

  403. you revisit the realm where the revelation was

  404. given. So you get a revelation, you remember,

  405. you record, and you go back into that realm and

  406. you get part two. Because whatever God says is

  407. complete, but it is not conclusive. God says

  408. to Abraham, go sacrifice your son. Everybody

  409. says it's a complete thought. But as he's getting

  410. ready to sacrifice his son, he keeps listening.

  411. Look at somebody and say, I'm going to be somewhere

  412. listening for my name. And God says, in your

  413. heart, you've already sacrificed him. Don't touch

  414. the boy. Everybody say, now you see the conclusion.

  415. So God speaks to you. Everybody say, hear a little.

  416. They're a little. Line upon line. So one of the

  417. secrets of the seers, and by the way, that's

  418. a phrase I heard in heaven, is to rest, be still,

  419. and you come into this intimate knowledge of

  420. who God is. Everybody say remember. Record. And

  421. revisit. And then when you hear God, make sure

  422. you obey. Look at somebody and say, because if

  423. you don't obey, look at somebody and say, he's

  424. going to quit talking. Where's the Lord? Look

  425. at somebody and say, wherever you left him. Look

  426. at somebody and say, you got to go back to where

  427. you left him and pick up from there. Seven more

  428. minutes. Look at somebody and say, can you take

  429. seven more minutes? Okay. I'm going to go here.

  430. You ready? And, you know, I can show you this

  431. in the Hebrew and the Greek, but, okay. Because

  432. seven minutes, I'm not. When you receive the

  433. revelation, you receive it into your spirit.

  434. But it has to come into your soul. The Bible

  435. talks about. Old Covenant, the imaginations of

  436. a man's heart. Everybody say imaginations. Heart.

  437. So what happens is you receive the revelation

  438. of God into your spirit, but for it to come into

  439. your soul, it comes in the form of, everybody

  440. say, an imagination. Don't get caught up in that.

  441. That's nothing but a picture. Everybody say audiovisual.

  442. Everybody say television. You see it through

  443. the eyes of your spirit by the Holy Spirit. Everybody

  444. say revelation. Imagination. Now, in terms of

  445. the miraculous, when God gives you a revelation

  446. and it becomes imagination and he tells you something

  447. to say or to do. When you do that thing, you

  448. ready? Okay. What is a miracle? A miracle is

  449. nothing more than God's revelation and imagination

  450. appearing physically before your eyes. It's not

  451. called the gift of miracles. It's called the

  452. working of miracles. Look at somebody and say,

  453. that means you got to do something. So whenever

  454. the Father wants to do a miracle, he gives you

  455. an instruction to follow. When you follow that

  456. instruction, it manifests the miraculous. Does

  457. that make sense? So, okay, let me go further.

  458. James 1 .22 says, be a doer of the word, right?

  459. Not hearers only. But the Greek word for doer

  460. is the word poetes. which has to do with creativity.

  461. So when you're hearing the Word, reading the

  462. Word, studying the Word, searching out the Word,

  463. you're to be thinking of creative ways to put

  464. application to that revelation. So let me give

  465. you a map. Ready? Everybody say revelation. Imagination.

  466. Everybody say application. Manifestation. The

  467. miraculous. So watch this. So if you can never

  468. conceptualize the revelation in the form of an

  469. imagination, a picture, whether it's moving or

  470. just a photograph, if you never put it into application,

  471. the miracle never moves from the invisible to

  472. the visible. Does that make sense? So I'm in

  473. a meeting in Dayton, and this woman had surgery,

  474. and she had her rib removed. So she's sitting

  475. like the third of the four pew back. And so I

  476. said, well, just grow one. And she grew one.

  477. And she goes, she grew one. She just grew a rib.

  478. Well, I had the revelation in my spirit. I saw

  479. it. In my soul. Right? But now I got to do something

  480. with it. Right? So I have to say what God is

  481. saying. Because it's not enough for you to just

  482. see it. Okay. Let me say it to you another way.

  483. Okay. There's a man of God. Actually, he's my

  484. pastor. A woman brings to him a boy whose father

  485. has stabbed out both his eyes. And it's the first

  486. time he encountered this. And so he asked the

  487. question because the supernatural is manifested

  488. by asking the right question that the spirit

  489. gives you. So he says, Lord, what do I do? Listen

  490. to God's response. Put your hand over his eyes.

  491. He's looking at two empty sockets. But God says,

  492. put your hands over his eyes. So he decides to

  493. obey. Everybody say reason. Revelation. This

  494. is what he said. When he put his hands over the

  495. sockets, he said heaven opened. Everybody say

  496. revelation. Imagination. He said heaven opened

  497. and closed, and he felt something in his hand.

  498. When he pulled his hand back, he saw two spirit

  499. eyeballs. Listen. Listen, and then God says it's

  500. not enough for you to perceive it. You got to

  501. say it to frame it into time. When he says it,

  502. those two spirit eyeballs go into his sockets,

  503. become physical eyeballs, and he's able to see.

  504. What am I doing? I am showing you thus. sequence

  505. of God, Holy Ghost, supernatural activity. And

  506. look at somebody saying, and you ain't got to

  507. be a prophet. You don't have to be an apostle,

  508. evangelist, pastor, teacher. All you got to be

  509. is a disciple of Jesus and a son and a daughter

  510. of a father who waits on God, hears God's voice,

  511. and obeys. And so the reason I want to develop

  512. this intimacy with the Father and Jesus is it

  513. brings clarity. Okay, let me mention this and

  514. I'm closing. Jesus says in John's Gospel, he

  515. says, Father, glorify your name. And then there

  516. was a sound from heaven. Look what the people

  517. heard. Everybody say supernatural activity. Some

  518. people, because of a lack of clarity, said. It

  519. thundered. Somebody else said, it's an angel.

  520. But Jesus said, the Father spoke, and the Father

  521. said, I have glorified my name. I'm going to

  522. glorify it again. So that means that my intimacy

  523. with the Father and Jesus give me a clarity of

  524. perception so that I can accurately interpret

  525. supernatural activity. And so that's why I want

  526. to develop my intimacy with the Father and Jesus,

  527. and I cannot do it naturally. I have to do it

  528. supernaturally through my spirit and through

  529. my spiritual mind. Because the natural mind will

  530. not receive the things of the Spirit of God.

  531. And my carnal mind fights God. Look at what somebody

  532. said, lay your carnal mind aside. Put your natural

  533. mind away and walk in your spiritual mind, the

  534. mind of Christ. And anyone could do this. Anybody.

  535. Trust me. If I can do it, you can do it. Make

  536. sense? All right. Stand to your feet. Now, I

  537. have this thing that whenever a revelation comes

  538. forth, you have to actually respond to it. Look

  539. at somebody and say, revelation, right response,

  540. promised results. So, the first thing we want

  541. to do is we just want to pray in the Holy Spirit.

  542. Now, for somebody that's here, you'll say, well,

  543. you shouldn't pray in tongues in church. Okay,

  544. first of all. We not talking to you. When it's

  545. a message in tongues, it need to be interpreted

  546. because we talking to you. But if I decide to

  547. speak Hebrew, Baruch Hashem, Yeshua HaMashiach,

  548. L -A -L -E -Y -D -D, I ain't talking to you.

  549. Look at somebody and say, ain't none of your

  550. business. It's between me and my God. So if there's

  551. somebody here, you speak French to the Father,

  552. Spanish to the Father, Greek to the Father, look

  553. at somebody and say, don't need no interpretation.

  554. Because ain't nobody talking to you. Look at

  555. somebody and say, mind your own business. Just

  556. saying. So when we pray in tongues to God, we're

  557. just, okay. Sometimes. We have to give an explanation

  558. to the manifestation of the Spirit, the Phaneros.

  559. 1 Corinthians 12, 7, the Phaneros. So if somebody,

  560. you're standing next to somebody, and they're

  561. just going, don't be tripping. They may not even

  562. be speaking in tongues. They may be speaking

  563. Arabic or Farsi or Swahili. Then again, they

  564. may be speaking Arabic. Farsi or Swahili in tongues.

  565. Look at somebody and say, either way, none of

  566. your business. Just saying. So let's take 60

  567. seconds. Close your eyes. I want you to pray

  568. in the Holy Spirit. And even while you're praying

  569. in the Holy Spirit, I want you to process the

  570. word of the Lord. And I want you to make a decision

  571. to get the CD so that you can get this message

  572. and hear it again. Let's pray in the spirit.

  573. Go out loud. Let me hear you. Go. yeah that's

  574. good keep going keep going Come on, kick it up

  575. a little louder for about 30 seconds. Come on,

  576. give him a shout. Please hear me now and then

  577. I'm going to, please hear me. You now have a

  578. generation that has been fascinated and enter

  579. into spirits of witchcraft. And if you don't

  580. know the holy supernatural, you will not be able

  581. to, A, bring them to Jesus, two, get them delivered

  582. from the evil one so they can serve, love, and

  583. worship Jesus. And what the enemy has done and

  584. is doing is he's deceiving leaders. So that a

  585. whole generation is lost to darkness. Which means

  586. we need to get the revelation of the word to

  587. demonstrate holy signs and wonders that are greater

  588. than the manifestations of the enemy to bring

  589. people out of darkness into God's marvelous light,

  590. out of sin into right living, out from the power

  591. of Satan. into a relationship and the Lordship

  592. of Jesus Christ. Look at somebody saying, and

  593. while we're not doing it, people are getting

  594. lost. So this thing ultimately isn't even about

  595. you. It's about your sons. It's about your daughters

  596. and your grandsons and daughters. into something

  597. you don't even know and walk in. So I challenge

  598. you, I beg you, see the absolute critical importance

  599. of the holy supernatural today. Give Jesus a

  600. big hand. Or call us at 541 -995 -8282.
