  1. Give Jesus a big hand clap, will you please?

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

  3. to his son Jesus, to the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let's

  4. give, you know, the Apostle Paul said this. He

  5. said, though I am not an apostle to others, I'm

  6. an apostle to you because The church you in,

  7. I planted it. And so if I have it right, I think

  8. the Apostle Paul planted about 20 churches in

  9. four different regions. And he said, though you

  10. have many teachers, you don't have many fathers.

  11. And in the original language, teachers means

  12. boy teachers. Pastor Brad is your apostle and

  13. your father. And his wife is your spiritual mother.

  14. So let's give them a big hand clap, shall we?

  15. And let me have all of the elders stand up with

  16. your spouses. Come on, elders. Preachers, stand

  17. up, elders, preachers, with your spouse. Let's

  18. give them a big hand clap, shall we? Amen. Amen,

  19. amen. Thank you, Pastor. Amen. I went Spanish

  20. on you for a second. Also, I want to give honor

  21. to all of you that are here this morning. Also,

  22. I want to honor Apostle Prophet Randy Domain.

  23. Let's give him a big hand clap. Amen. Amen. And

  24. I want to give honor to my wife of 38 years,

  25. Deborah. Please stand up. Amen. You know, what

  26. I say is behind every good man is a great woman

  27. making the brother be good. Or else I will send

  28. you to heaven. And collect the insurance. You

  29. know, look at somebody and say heaven is fun.

  30. Look at somebody and say, you need some practice.

  31. Some of y 'all just ain't ready for heaven. But

  32. we're going to help get you ready. So in 1989,

  33. I had a surprise. Here was the surprise. This

  34. angel comes and he's about 5 '10 or so and little

  35. white brother. A lot of people are little to

  36. me. I'm looking out on the congregation and the

  37. little brother with the green shirt on. Yeah,

  38. man, stand up. I was his size when I was born.

  39. You can sit down, sir. And so the angel was about

  40. 5 '10", his little white brother, and had dark

  41. hair. And he comes, and it's 4 o 'clock in the

  42. morning. It's in the month of December. And in

  43. my surprise, I leave my body. Look at somebody

  44. and say, Gomer Powell, this dates a bunch of

  45. us. You young folks don't know what we get fixing

  46. to say. All the old people go, surprise, surprise,

  47. surprise. You young folks don't know what we're

  48. talking about. But then again, there's some stuff

  49. you young folks say we don't know what y 'all

  50. talking about. So my spirit leads my body and

  51. I speak through the heavens. I didn't enjoy it.

  52. It was too fast. You know, I like Star Trek,

  53. and I wanted to enjoy the galaxies and the constellations,

  54. and it was fast. So the same, it was fast. And

  55. so, you know, I'm seeing people die real quickly.

  56. Their souls come out, and, you know, they're

  57. on their way to someplace you don't want to go

  58. to. And we speed through the heavens. Very, very

  59. fast. The Apostle Paul said to be absent from

  60. the bodies, to be present with the Lord, and

  61. I land in heaven. And there's the heavenly tabernacle

  62. that the book of Revelation talks about, and

  63. I'm watching lightning, and the angel's standing

  64. before me, and there's a door to the heavenly

  65. tabernacle where God the Father and the Lord

  66. Jesus is. And instantly I know I have an appointment

  67. with God. Look at somebody that says, surprise.

  68. had been saved in 72 and start preaching in 74.

  69. I've been a youth pastor five years, associate

  70. pastor 20 years. I've been a pastor. I've been

  71. a pastor, pastors. You know, I've done a few

  72. things. You know, been involved in some stuff.

  73. Anyway, and I become aware that I have an appointment

  74. with God and there's a door there and I knew

  75. it was open by appointment and I had an appointment

  76. and the angel walked through and I walked through.

  77. And there is the glory of God. And, you know,

  78. I couldn't see the person of God the Father because

  79. of the brightness of the light. And that was

  80. complicated even by this cloud. And I laughingly

  81. say, apparently I didn't believe the Bible, the

  82. Apostle Paul that says that God's in a light

  83. that no man can see through an approach because

  84. I was really trying to see through it. Look at

  85. somebody and say, I don't think that worked for

  86. him. I never could see through it. And then all

  87. of a sudden I had this sense that here's the

  88. Lord Jesus. And I didn't see Jesus like John

  89. the Revelator, you know, his face shining like

  90. the sun in its strength, eyes on fire, white

  91. hair, white mustache, beard. I saw the man. There's

  92. one mediator between God and men, the man Christ

  93. Jesus. Somebody said, well, did you die? I don't

  94. rightly know. But look at somebody say, but I'm

  95. back. But if you do die, I do have a little information

  96. for you. You don't die. and your spirit and your

  97. soul leave. Your spirit and soul leaves, and

  98. your body dies. Faith without works is dead.

  99. The body without the spirit is dead. Look at

  100. somebody and say, you leave, and your body's

  101. really upset with you. It will have issues of

  102. abandonment, but it's not going to get any counseling.

  103. So when I saw the Lord Jesus, one mediator between

  104. God and men, the man Christ Jesus, he obviously

  105. looked Jewish. Look at somebody say, imagine

  106. that. He had chocolate brown hair falling onto

  107. his shoulders, and he had what I call the Jewish

  108. nose, and he had that complexion that you would

  109. expect a Jewish person to have living in the

  110. Middle East, and he had chocolate brown mustache

  111. and beard, white robe. By the way, his eyes change

  112. color. This is why you'll have some people meet

  113. Jesus and they'll say it's crystal blue eyes.

  114. And somebody else will say kind of green. And

  115. somebody else will say brown. And somebody else

  116. will say like eyes on fire. Look at somebody

  117. and say, who cares? Look at somebody and say,

  118. it's Jesus. And seriously, he is the loveliest

  119. person you're ever going to meet. He's the most

  120. beautiful person. He's the most handsome man.

  121. Now, I know some of y 'all girls think y 'all

  122. got something going on with the brother you married.

  123. Or maybe you used to before, you know, things

  124. started. Well, I'll leave that alone. But look

  125. at somebody and say, but Jesus is beautiful.

  126. Look at somebody and say, he's the kindest person.

  127. The gentlest person. and the most powerful person.

  128. I mean, he's this combination of steel and velvet.

  129. And there were witnesses. And the first thing

  130. God the Father says is he says, take notes and

  131. learn, which is why I was there. Now, I'm not

  132. going to take all the time to tell you everything

  133. because look at somebody and say, you ain't got

  134. that much time. Okay? I will say this. After

  135. the father said, take notes and learn, he quoted

  136. 1 Peter 4, where it said, now the time has come

  137. for judgment to begin at the house of God. If

  138. you go to the original text and you look up judgment,

  139. the word judgment in the original text, in 1

  140. Peter 4, it means measurement. You're being measured.

  141. How much you love God and how much you love one

  142. another. But let me speak for at least a little

  143. while, a Sunday morning kind of a message. Because

  144. at a certain point in this heavenly encounter,

  145. the father asked me a series of questions. Like,

  146. what do you think made Abraham great? Now in

  147. heaven, there are no miscommunications. You know,

  148. if I was to communicate with you and we were

  149. in heaven, you would see it, you would hear it,

  150. you would feel it. It would be total and complete

  151. communication. And so, I mean, you can talk if

  152. you want or spirit to spirit or just, it's just

  153. there when you're communicating. So the first

  154. thing that came to mind was Abraham believed

  155. God. And it was credited to him for righteousness.

  156. And the father said, that's true. And then he

  157. referred me to Genesis 18, where he talks about

  158. knowing Abraham, that Abraham would do justice

  159. and judgment, and he would walk in the way of

  160. the Lord, and then he would compad his children

  161. and his household to follow his example. And

  162. what made Abraham great? this is the father's

  163. point, was that he had this intimacy with God

  164. and he revealed this intimacy with God and he

  165. imparted this intimacy with God into his children

  166. and into his household. So let me ask you fathers

  167. and mothers, how much of your intimacy with God

  168. Have your sons and daughters seen. Paul said

  169. to Timothy, read the scriptures. Jesus said to

  170. those that were listening, search the scriptures,

  171. which means run reference. Paul told Timothy,

  172. study to show yourself approved unto God. Then

  173. the father starts talking to me about. Deuteronomy

  174. 6, where from the time a father and mother get

  175. up in the morning, they're supposed to be communicating

  176. with their children the word of the Lord. As

  177. they go through the day, communicating with their

  178. children the word of the Lord, in addition to

  179. everything else they're teaching, at night give

  180. them the word of the Lord. Deuteronomy 6. The

  181. father brings up Manoah and he points out the

  182. question that Manoah asked after Manoah's wife

  183. got the visitation. Isn't it interesting? Sometimes

  184. the sisters get the visitation before we catch

  185. on. What's wrong with y 'all? Somebody wrote

  186. a book and the title of the book was, I have

  187. heard the voice of the Lord and it sounds like

  188. my wife. Judges 13, the word of the Lord comes

  189. to the woman and she is told how to live before

  190. she has a miracle child. What if I was to say

  191. to you, the father has a certain consecration.

  192. The father has a certain dedication. The father

  193. has a certain way of life that he wants you to

  194. live even before you and your spouse begin to

  195. have children. Then the wife gets a revelation

  196. that she's going to have a miracle son and what

  197. his destiny is and the consecration or the way

  198. he must live to achieve that destiny. What if

  199. it was the father's original design that you

  200. get a revelation of who each child's supposed

  201. to be before their birth? And then you get the

  202. wisdom of God on how to raise that child. So

  203. that they have a godly, holy identity, knowing

  204. God the Father through Jesus Christ, walking

  205. in the Spirit, and knowing the steps to achieve

  206. that destiny. The Father points out to me the

  207. question that Manoah asked the angel. How shall

  208. we order the child? How shall we raise him? Let

  209. me... bring this to you. Now, I'm a preacher.

  210. Look at somebody and say, he never gets done.

  211. Look at somebody and say, at a certain point,

  212. he just got to quit. So here you have Solomon's

  213. testimony in Proverbs 4. He says, my mama love

  214. me now. He probably didn't say it like that,

  215. but I'm African American. He said, but I was

  216. my father's son. And my father said to me, 5

  217. verse 4, 5, 6. Get wisdom with all you're getting.

  218. Get an understanding. Wisdom is the principal

  219. thing. Get some wisdom. But Solomon doesn't start

  220. with wisdom. He starts with his father's way

  221. of life, which is to worship. And he makes a

  222. sacrifice. And he worships and offers a thousand

  223. offerings. Who knows how long that took. Did

  224. it take four months? Did it take eight months?

  225. But he took the time to follow in his father's

  226. steps and worship God. And then the Lord comes

  227. to him in a dream and says to Solomon, ask whatever

  228. you want, I'll give it to you. You think the

  229. father and Jesus wasn't listening when David

  230. said to Solomon, ask for wisdom? I wonder if...

  231. David prepared his son for a revelation and visitation

  232. from God. I wonder how many sons and daughters

  233. have missed visitations and revelations from

  234. God because we didn't prepare them. So then we

  235. read Proverbs 22, 6, where it says, train up

  236. a child in the way he should go. And we think

  237. of discipline and I get all that. But in actual

  238. fact, what the father's after is for you to identify

  239. the natural and spiritual talents, gifts, and

  240. abilities that the father has put in the child

  241. and cultivate them to maturity. So that becomes

  242. the key to the child's prosperity and success

  243. and journey in the will of the father. And obviously

  244. when he's old, he isn't going to depart from

  245. that. So the father is concerned about you and

  246. your families. In fact, the best thing that a

  247. father can do for a son is to show the son how

  248. much he loves the mother and how to love a mother,

  249. how to love a wife. The best thing a daughter

  250. can do for her girl is to show the girl how to

  251. love a husband by the way you love your spouse.

  252. Husband, love your wife sacrificially like Christ

  253. loved the church. Wives, submit yourselves to

  254. your own husbands as is fitting in the Lord.

  255. Children, obey your parents for this is good.

  256. You know, the father was so concerned about families

  257. that in the tabernacle of Moses, there were these

  258. silver sockets and every tribe, every family,

  259. head of every family had to melt something and

  260. it was put into the house of the Lord. Look at

  261. somebody and say, find your place at Life Bible

  262. Church. Just because you know the Lord, your

  263. family is blessed. Ray Howard puts up a scarlet

  264. thread. Not only was she delivered when the walls

  265. fell, but so was her family. When God did a jailhouse

  266. rock with Paul and Silas and the jailer got saved,

  267. his family got saved. Why? Because his family

  268. was blessed because he submitted to the lordship

  269. of Jesus. Look at somebody and say, other people

  270. are blessed just because of me. No, seriously.

  271. Paul is on his way to Rome. There is a storm.

  272. 276 men are there. They get saved from drowning

  273. because Paul's on the ship. Look at somebody

  274. and say, everybody around me is blessed. Because

  275. I know Jesus. And I know the Father. But see,

  276. right now you're thinking, how many of y 'all

  277. parents raise your hands? Raise them high. That's

  278. right, because I got gray hair. You got to raise

  279. them high for me to see. How many of y 'all grandparents?

  280. Raise your hand. You know, the Lord asked me

  281. a question. He was talking about a child that

  282. had just been born. He said, his name is Philip.

  283. He said, who's going to raise Philip? Now maybe

  284. you have missed God. Look at somebody and say,

  285. this is a good day to repent. Because as soon

  286. as you repent, you say, Lord, I missed you. I

  287. should have raised that child differently. The

  288. Lord forgives you because First John 1 and 9

  289. says, when we confess our sins, he's faithful

  290. and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse

  291. us from all that's not righteous. And then you

  292. got your grandchildren. If your children are

  293. grown. Or you got your spiritual children. How

  294. many of you hearing me? Now let me see how saved

  295. you are today. Because you know, some days you're

  296. more saved than other days. If you don't believe

  297. that's true, ask your neighbor. In fact, look

  298. at your neighbor and say, I still like you no

  299. matter what other people have been saying about

  300. you. Now see, you know, to be honest, that confessed

  301. sin is hard for us. Can I tell you why it's hard?

  302. Say, tell us why it's hard. Look at your neighbor

  303. and say, I think I'm smarter than you. Look at

  304. your other neighbors. I know I'm smarter than

  305. you. And I find something very interesting about

  306. people who never pastored. They know what I should

  307. be doing. You never saw it coming, did you? Tell

  308. the truth. You never saw it coming. am an African

  309. -American male Mary Poppins. I give you a spoonful

  310. of sugar to make the medicine go down. I got

  311. my own brother. I'm fixing the rise, y 'all.

  312. I'm fixing the rise. My problem has always been

  313. my pride. We together, we got a lot of company.

  314. The silent majority. You know, King Uzziah, you

  315. know, as long as he sought the Lord, God made

  316. him to prosper in 2 Corinthians 26. And he was

  317. helped and then the Bible says he was marvelously

  318. helped and he had inventors and he had wealth

  319. and he had riches and he had fame. And then the

  320. Bible says when he got lifted up in his soul,

  321. he went and did something that was out of divine

  322. order. And he had leprosy. And he was in the

  323. house of leprosy till the day he died. And then

  324. it's very interesting what happens to Isaiah

  325. in chapter 6. He says in the year... that King

  326. Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord. Wait. In the

  327. year that King Pride died, I had an encounter

  328. with God. Look at somebody and say, maybe I'm

  329. not as smart as I would like to believe. You

  330. know, for five chapters, he said, woe is you,

  331. woe is you, woe is you. When King Pride died

  332. and he saw the Lord and the seraphim, the burning

  333. ones, talking to each other. They ain't even

  334. talking to God. They're going, holy, holy, holy

  335. is the Lord God almighty. The whole earth is

  336. full of his glory. Yeah, I know. Holy, holy,

  337. holy. The house is filled with smoke. I know

  338. a little something about that. And he says, which

  339. is not even translatable in English. It's as

  340. if somebody stuck you with a knife. I have my

  341. heart. And my lips are unclean and I live in

  342. the midst of a people that have an unclean heart

  343. and unclean lips. And Lord, cleanse me. And an

  344. angel comes, takes a coal of fire, cleanses him.

  345. And then the Lord says, whom shall I send? Who

  346. will go for us? And he responds after his cleansing.

  347. Walked through the pathway of purity and now

  348. his words are going to have prophetic power like

  349. never before. As Randy was talking about in the

  350. men's group in Psalm 24. I wonder if you're small

  351. enough to admit you've missed God as a parent.

  352. How many of you are like me? You have missed

  353. God as a parent. Raise your hands high and look

  354. around the room. Now you see why I'm preaching

  355. this. Jenny started prophesying about fathers.

  356. Pastor said, let's pray for our children. If

  357. you're like me, I want you to bow your head and

  358. say, Holy Father, I respond positively to the

  359. word of the Lord. I know I have missed you, but

  360. I repent right now. Holy Father, forgive me.

  361. Wash me whiter than snow. Cast my sins behind

  362. your back. As far as the east is, from the west,

  363. take every sin away. In the name of Jesus, it

  364. is canceled. It is obliterated. It is destroyed.

  365. Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, I'm going

  366. to be a better parent, naturally and spiritually.

  367. Because I love you. And I love the ones you've

  368. assigned me to. In Jesus' name. Take 20 seconds

  369. and let's give God a praise. You know, I was,

  370. you know, when you're in the realm of heaven,

  371. you get to learn stuff. And, you know, like in

  372. heaven, there's this place like a library. And

  373. so I'm looking at this book. And I'm learning

  374. some things about the story of the prodigal son.

  375. And let me just say this to you. You know, in

  376. Luke 6, Jesus says, be merciful because your

  377. heavenly father is merciful. Forgive and you

  378. shall be forgiven. Don't condemn, you won't be

  379. condemned. Don't judge and you won't be judged.

  380. And he's talking about judgment after appearance

  381. and after the flesh. He's not talking about judgment

  382. in the spirit. And he says, give and it shall

  383. be given to you. Press down, shaking together,

  384. running over all that. It's coming back to you.

  385. You know, it's interesting. That the prodigal

  386. son asked for his inheritance and takes off.

  387. Because he judged his father and didn't want

  388. to live like him. How many of us have judged

  389. our fathers? Our stepfathers? Our aunts or uncles?

  390. When he judges his father. who is obviously a

  391. righteous man, he begins to lose. He begins to

  392. decrease. It's interesting how we make vows not

  393. to be like our daddy, not to be like our mama.

  394. From the moment you make the vow, you're doomed

  395. to become like them. Oh, no, no, no. Let me help

  396. you. When I was young, I was very athletic. I

  397. looked like Randy on steroids. I was a football

  398. player. I was a basketball player. I was prejudiced

  399. against all you fat people. I looked at fat people

  400. and said, how could you get so fat? I know how

  401. you fat people get fat now. My attitude toward

  402. fat people has changed. Y 'all have become fluffy.

  403. So you read Genesis 12 where God says to Abraham,

  404. he says, whoever curses you, I'll curse. Whoever

  405. blesses you, I'll bless. But in Hebrew, the word

  406. curse, the second word is different from the

  407. first word. It is whoever makes a formula against

  408. you, I will reduce them into that very state.

  409. Which is what happened to Haman. He was trying

  410. to hang somebody and he got hung. So you have

  411. judged your father, your mother for their flaws,

  412. defects of character. And they probably did have

  413. those flaws and defects of character. But who

  414. are you to be the judge? In a negative way, like

  415. you better than him. And see, our judgment sometimes

  416. is real subtle. Like, why'd they do that? Look

  417. at somebody and say, you fix it to find out.

  418. We ain't doing it in the spirit. We're doing

  419. it with our long nose of pride. If I was in that

  420. situation, I'd never do that. So there's a guy

  421. named Robert. His dad, he grew up poor. When

  422. his dad's getting ready to make it, the family's

  423. getting ready to make it, dad gets sick again

  424. and they go into poverty and he judges his dad.

  425. And he goes into real estate. And every time

  426. he gets ready to make a really big deal, a big

  427. financial deal, it falls through. Then he gets

  428. counseling. Look at somebody and say, some folk

  429. in here need counseling. Y 'all didn't say that.

  430. Work with me. Look at your neighbor and say,

  431. some folk in here need counseling. And he discovers

  432. that he had judged his father. So he repents

  433. and reverses his judgment against his father.

  434. And within two weeks, he has a million dollar

  435. real estate deal. Oh, wait. Let me show you how

  436. far it goes. Tom and I, where's Tom? Thomas.

  437. Where is he at? He's out of here. Well, he'll

  438. be back. He and I know somebody, a guy, a guy

  439. who brought a $3 ,000 brand new lawnmower and

  440. it quit working. So he decides to pray. Look

  441. at somebody and say, when stuff don't work, pray.

  442. So all of a sudden the Lord gives him a vision,

  443. a memory of when he was 12 and his dad used to

  444. make him cut the lawn with a broken down lawnmower.

  445. He was cussing his dad and he judged his dad.

  446. As soon as he reverses his judgment, the lawnmower

  447. starts working. Wait. The prodigal son misjudges

  448. himself. I'll go and say, you know, dad, I sinned

  449. against heaven and in your sight, I'm no more

  450. worthy to be called a son. Make me a hired servant.

  451. You still a son, boy. Misjudged himself. He goes,

  452. he possesses to his dad. His dad corrects his

  453. wrong judgment because his dad was looking for

  454. him. His dad sees him. His dad runs to him. His

  455. dad falls on him. He says what he says. Make

  456. me a hired servant. And his dad says, hey. My

  457. son, lost, found, dead, alive. Bring me the best

  458. robe. I wonder if the best robe was the daddy's

  459. robe. Look at somebody and say, in the spirit,

  460. you got your daddy's robe. Put shoes on his feet,

  461. a ring on his finger. How many times have we

  462. misjudged ourselves? Most of the time our pride

  463. is even false. We think less of ourselves than

  464. who we actually are. Just saying. The older son

  465. always judges the younger son. Sometimes. It

  466. does in this story. And the father has to correct

  467. it. Can I tell you a secret? I want to see how

  468. honest you are today. How many of you have been

  469. like me? You judge somebody and within one year

  470. you found yourself in the same situation or a

  471. similar situation. Raise your hands high. Look

  472. around the room. Look at somebody and say, you

  473. might want to reverse that judgment. Now, this

  474. is only negative when you do it in the flesh.

  475. When you do it in the spirit, it's all right.

  476. Jesus said, as I hear, I judge. And my judgment

  477. is just because it's not my will, but the will

  478. of the father. So you can bring the judgment

  479. of God if it's his. I don't. I don't want to

  480. go there. That's a whole nother. I've seen it.

  481. I've spoken that word and the person died. So,

  482. because God said don't do that. And they did

  483. it. So, look at somebody and say you don't want

  484. to mess with God. I'm really nice. I'm a really

  485. nice person. But there was another one. They

  486. was doing something. And the word. And they had

  487. a heart attack. Because they wasn't supposed

  488. to do that. And the person who told me about

  489. it said. I bet your word is ringing in their

  490. ears. Well it wasn't mine. See. I'll just leave

  491. that alone. Look at somebody and say, that's

  492. going to come back. Look at somebody and say,

  493. not just in the church, but out the church too.

  494. Just saying. But look at somebody and say, he's

  495. really nice today. So how many of you are like

  496. me? Because I did this. I judged my father and

  497. my mother. Raise your hands. Now, I had to reverse

  498. my judgment. I judged my older brother, too.

  499. I was the baby. It's funny, because you judge

  500. pastors. You judge other church folk. You judge

  501. televangelists. You don't know nothing about

  502. what's going on. You don't know how they got

  503. there. If you knew how they got there, you wouldn't

  504. judge them. And let me tell you this. There's

  505. some stuff that you see on secular media about

  506. preachers. You might not want to swallow all

  507. of that. And there's some stuff in quote Christian

  508. media. You might not want to swallow all of that.

  509. Now, you might not know this. But I'm like really

  510. involved with TV behind the scenes. You just

  511. don't know it. And if I mentioned, you would

  512. know. You would know. Not just being on it, but

  513. being behind it and beyond that. So there's stuff

  514. that happens. And so I'm learning to become merciful

  515. towards you. But I'm also learning to become

  516. merciful toward me. Because I need help. Look

  517. at somebody and say, that good looking preacher

  518. needs a lot of help. No, no, no, no, no, no,

  519. no. I was in a meeting. This guy said, I'm fixing

  520. to come to a close. This guy said, I'd be the

  521. best looking person in the room if it wasn't

  522. for you. I didn't say that. I'm the best looking

  523. man up in here. Look at somebody and say, you

  524. talk to yourself more than God or anybody else.

  525. Look at somebody and say, what are you saying

  526. to yourself about yourself? I'm going to help

  527. my own personal esteem. I ain't waiting for you

  528. to tell me I'm handsome. I know that already.

  529. Look at somebody, your neighbor and say, I'm

  530. the best looking person in this sanctuary right

  531. now. And everybody, else ought to agree with

  532. everybody else. So here's something amazing.

  533. It's amazing how when you get the two by four

  534. out of your own eye, you can see clearly to get

  535. the splinter out of your brother's eye. Tony

  536. Kemp translation. How many of you need to reverse

  537. some judgments? Raise your hands. Stand to your

  538. feet. Let's start with that. Y 'all don't have

  539. to do any music yet, but y 'all can come up and

  540. look good. But sooner or later, I want to hear

  541. you play just for my own sake. I don't care about

  542. them right now. I just want to hear you play.

  543. But not yet. I want you to bow your head. I want

  544. you to ask the Lord who you judged after the

  545. flesh. And ask the Holy Spirit, ask the Lord

  546. because the Holy Spirit to bring it to your mind.

  547. Because it's a very serious thing. One of the

  548. things I've discovered is that when you reverse

  549. your judgment, God does the miraculous. And as

  550. soon as the Lord brings people to your mind,

  551. even yourself, just begin to say, Lord, I reverse

  552. my judgment. I forgive that person. Forgive me.

  553. I reverse my judgment against myself. I forgive

  554. me. Just do that under your breath. You see,

  555. many times the musicians get ready to serve you,

  556. and they don't even get a chance to pray these

  557. prayers. Because they're so willing to serve,

  558. you have to actually stop them so that they could

  559. search their own heart by the Holy Spirit. Forgive

  560. and you shall be forgiven. Let the Holy Spirit

  561. speak to you. I reverse that judgment. As soon

  562. as you reverse the judgment, you're free from

  563. it. You're free from the consequences of it.

  564. Now, what was holding you can hold you back no

  565. longer and you actually stop delays. Repeat after

  566. me, but say it to God. Say, Father. In the name

  567. of Jesus, I reverse my judgment against everyone.

  568. I reverse my judgment against myself. I forgive

  569. everybody who hurt me or somebody I care about.

  570. And Lord, I forgive myself. Lord, forgive me.

  571. Release me from the wrong judgments. Set me free

  572. from the consequences. Right now. And do miracles

  573. for me. In Jesus name. It is done. Now give God

  574. praise for about 30 seconds. Not yet. Come on.

  575. Y 'all get the praising. Now give God a shout

  576. for about 10 seconds if you believe it. Now you

  577. can sit down just for a moment. Let's give you

  578. a preview of tonight. Okay. How many of you have

  579. some sort of a pain or discomfort in your body,

  580. whether it's mild, moderate, or severe? Stand

  581. to your feet. Look around the room. Okay. You

  582. can sit. Listen to me carefully. It is written,

  583. I'm the Lord, your physician. I'm the Lord, your

  584. healer. The Lord takes your disease away. By

  585. the sufferings of Jesus at the whipping post,

  586. you're healed. By his wounds, you were healed.

  587. Listen to me carefully. In Ecclesiastes 11 and

  588. 3, it says, when the cloud is full, it empties

  589. itself upon the earth. I'm going to show you

  590. the principle of accumulation that causes heaven

  591. to fall into earth. Everybody say the principle

  592. of accumulation. Jericho could not be defeated.

  593. But Joshua gets a word from the Lord. Walk around

  594. silently for six days in obedience to the word

  595. of the Lord. But the seventh day, walk seven

  596. times and shout. And the walls will fall down.

  597. Everybody say principle of accumulation. Elijah

  598. goes 40 days and he gets his replacement and

  599. he prophesies and Jezebel and Ahab are defeated.

  600. Everybody say principle of accumulation. Principle

  601. of accumulation. Jesus fasts for 40 days and

  602. 40 nights and comes out in the power of the spirit,

  603. Luke 14. The blind see, the deaf hear, the lame

  604. walk, the dead embrace their life. Everybody

  605. say principle of accumulation. Principle of accumulation.

  606. Naming the Syrian comes to the prophet and says,

  607. I'm here to be healed. And the prophet don't

  608. even come out of the house because sometimes

  609. we don't do what you think we should do. Sends

  610. him a word. Dip seven times. He's not healed

  611. on time one, three, four, five. Everybody say

  612. the seventh time. Everybody say principle of

  613. accumulation. When you get to the fullness of

  614. the accumulation, there's no delay. The miracle

  615. happens now. God says I'm going to send rain

  616. today. The prophet says to Ahab, you better get

  617. in your chariot because I hear the sound of the

  618. abundance of rain. Then he prays, looks, wants.

  619. Twice, five times, ain't nothing going on. But

  620. the seventh time, a cloud rises. Look at somebody

  621. say, the cloud is fixing to rise. The heavens

  622. get black with rain, and when it rains, it pours.

  623. Here's what you don't realize. Listen, I've seen

  624. more blind people see than I can remember. More

  625. deaf people here than I can remember. More creative

  626. miracles than I can remember. People get out

  627. of wheelchairs, cancer, sugar, AIDS. Body parts

  628. appear where there are none. Okay, you ready?

  629. Watch this in the next, let's just go 12 minutes,

  630. 12 minutes. So that means we'll quit at 12 .04.

  631. You are familiar with airborne sickness. Because

  632. you're close to somebody with a disease that's

  633. contagious. Because you're close to them, you

  634. catch the disease. But I carry my own atmosphere

  635. with me. And you fix them to catch an airborne

  636. healing. Because there's airborne miracles happening

  637. like right now. You catching a healing and don't

  638. even know it. Just like you can catch a disease.

  639. You got the disease and the symptoms show up,

  640. you can catch a healing and the symptoms will

  641. diminish and disappear. When it's slow, it's

  642. a healing. When it's a miracle, it happens with

  643. no delay. And I'm telling you, it's happening

  644. right now. I'll show you. Now, watch this. Don't

  645. pray. Now, I'm going to say this to the women.

  646. Praying in your head is praying. The brothers

  647. ain't got to worry about it. You just go into

  648. your nothing box. Your sisters don't have a nothing

  649. box. Y 'all got spaghetti. Everything is tied

  650. to everything else. I know you don't have a nothing

  651. box. You just breathe. When a brother says to

  652. you and you say to him what you think and he

  653. says nothing, he may not be lying. We can do

  654. it for hours. Sometimes we ain't really looking

  655. at TV. It's just on. Bow your heads. Listen,

  656. why do you say don't pray? Because most folk

  657. cannot transmit and receive at the same time.

  658. This is your time to receive. Listen to me carefully.

  659. Whoever has pain and discomfort in your body,

  660. listen to me carefully. By your heads. Do not

  661. pray. I'm going to pray for you. As soon as you

  662. feel pain decreasing, stand on your feet. I speak

  663. to the sickness. I speak to the disease. I speak

  664. to the cause of the illness. I speak to the root

  665. of the disease. I speak to the spirit of the

  666. disease. I speak to the life of the disease.

  667. I command you, come out, come out, come out and

  668. leave property now. I command the pain and the

  669. reason for the pain, dissolve, dissipate, disappear

  670. now. In Jesus' name. As soon as you feel pain

  671. decreasing, stand up. Don't wait for it to be

  672. gone. As soon as you feel it decreasing. Because

  673. when you stand up, you're going to find out God's

  674. doing something. And already people are starting

  675. to stand because God's doing it right now. It

  676. doesn't matter. God's doing it right now. It's

  677. not my fault. The cloud. It's full. And when

  678. it gets to 80%, pain gone, just come up in the

  679. front, face the people, and just look at them.

  680. But look good when you get up there. It's the

  681. one rule I got. Got to always look good in front

  682. of the people. Jesus is doing it right now. This

  683. is a token for the night. Now the praise team,

  684. what's that? In heaven as in earth, the spirit

  685. of the Lord is here. A miracle could happen now.

  686. You could sing that. Because God's going to heal

  687. people while you sing it. So if it gets to 80%,

  688. come on up. Jesus is doing it. You can go. God's

  689. doing it right now. Those of you that are out

  690. in prayer, y 'all can praise God in the spirit.

  691. I'm telling you, the Lord is doing it. Oh my

  692. goodness, God is, this is nothing but a start.

  693. When it gets to 80%, come on up because it's

  694. going to go to 100. Keep your faith engaged.

  695. I don't care what your disease is. It's dying

  696. and dissolving. It's disappearing by Jesus Christ.
