Sunday Evening Message - Randy Demain (October 01, 2017) | Life Bible Church

and out with Jesus. Just wave your hand if you

did. Have you got some more healing? Yeah? You

good? Alright. So, let's move into this next

wave of healing. You got healed, didn't you?

This lady right here? Yo, come here real quick.

I can tell something happened to you. I can see

you got this like Jesus glow on you. Oh, earlier

this morning. Yeah, so what was it? A headache

that I'd had for a week and I thought, oh, it's

just a headache and then God healed me and He

cares about everything. He cares about everything.

Let me see your hand for a second. I think I

have a word of the Lord for you. Well, I feel

like the Lord would say that you have been in

a very innocent and wonderful, like a childlike

relationship with him. And that's wonderful.

But you know what he's saying? He's saying he's

going to take you now to like grow you up some.

And what you've been receiving now, he's going

to cause you to release to others. So he's bringing

you to a place of. Of responsibility in place

of a new time in your life. Where others are

going to want what they see in you. Because you've

invested and Jesus has released in you his presence

and his glory. But now others are going to see

that in you and they're going to want to release

it. Amen. So I'm just releasing that word upon

you. Because it's your time and it's your season.

It's going to be a good thing. So Father, I pray

for a feeling and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

I pray, Jesus, for a fresh, that armor, that

calling, that anointing for this season. Holy

Spirit, I just press her into that place, God,

of fellowship. Press her into that place, God,

of drinking deeply from the river of life and

from the purpose of life, Jesus. Wow. You guys

are heavy drinkers around here, the Holy Ghost.

Hallelujah. Bless them, Jesus. Bless her, Lord,

with the Holy Spirit. Jesus is in love with you.

Shukubasata. Hey. Hallelujah. He said he's going

to untwist the twist. He's going to release you

from the chains that bind and from the ropes,

the ropes, the cords. You found the length of

them and you're ready to go more, but they have

been holding you back. So the Lord has come tonight

to release you from the ropes, the boundaries.

He's come to release you, the binding of your

soul. We call the soul to be unbound and free

in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Confusion is being

removed from you right now in Jesus' name. Hallelujah.

Clarity of the Holy Spirit. And of the future

and purposes coming to you. Hallelujah. The Lord

says you have a prophetic authority. And that's

where the battle has been. Because the Lord has

said that there has been a revelation for the

generation you're in to come. But the enemy saw

it and he bound and wound you up. But the Lord

says I'm here to free you. Loose the bonds. Open

the prison doors. Set the captives free. And

God says you're going to notice this fingerprint

of the enemy upon others. and you will not tolerate

it nor will you stand for it, but you're going

to break it and lose it and shatter it from this

point on in the life of others in Jesus' name.

Hallelujah. You're free, right, sweetie? Bless

you. Hallelujah. Bless her, Jesus. Bless her.

You're a good person. I felt that on you. Bless

you, Jesus. Bless you, Jesus. Hallelujah. I'm

just kind of just checking stuff out. Sometimes

I'll boosh you about. Get some fire. More fire.

You're the fire lady. Fire lady, fire lady, fire

lady. Jesus get her. Oh man, you remind me of

somebody, but I can't think of who. Jill Austin.

Do you know who Jill Austin is? Come here. You

get this woman up. She's got some stuff on her.

She don't even know she got on her. Do you know

who Jill Austin is? You need to Google up Jill

Austin. She's not living. And that's probably

why she's like, hey, get her. I'm going to get

my anointing like Elijah gave to Elisha coming

on you. You have no idea what's about to happen

to you. Your complete life is about to change.

And I'm telling you, it's going to change so

quick and so rapidly. You're not even going to

have time to look back and say what happened.

All you're going to see is what's ahead of you.

I'm telling you, you're the fire lady. You're

like the fire engine lady. And you're not there

to... put out fires you're there to set fires

I'm telling you you got a fire anointing for

deliverance and a fire anointing to set people

free from drugs and alcohol and all kinds of

bondages I'm telling you when you touch them

and you lay your hands on them wham I feel that

breakthrough anointing on you fire fire fire

God let it I just breathe it up Jesus man get

out of her way how you doing man God bless you.

I'm good. Hallelujah. Hello, how are you doing?

Oh, boy, you know freedom, don't you? You know

grace. Hallelujah. You just wear it so beautifully.

You know that you are so intimidating to the

enemy because he can't have you anymore. That's

true. He can't have you anymore. You said that.

You actually said that. And it's true, and he

knows it. And you're one of many that are going

to come through this time. And they're simply

going to say, this devil, you can't have me anymore.

The grace of God is greater than anything that

you ever have had or can give. And so you're

wearing grace. And you should actually have a

necklace that says grace on it. Because that's

a lot of who you are. You're about grace. Because

you're living right now because of grace and

love of Jesus. Yeah, yeah. You're in a good place

too. You're in a really good place and you are

ticking the enemy off because he lost one of

his soldiers. Hallelujah. How you doing, man?

Hi there. Hi. I'm not supposed to be prophesying.

I'm supposed to be healing. So I got to move

along. That's the thing of having a prophetic

anointing. You switch gears a lot. Amen. All

right. Let me just speak to you about healing

a little bit more because the Lord showed me

something this afternoon that he really wants

to do. Don't you like to know what the Lord really

likes to do? Amen. Hallelujah. Wow. You know,

you have an anointing and God's going to bring

you. Here I am prophesying. Jesus, help me. I

got too many things going on in the Holy Ghost

right now, but it's all right. You have a building

construction anointing that's going to open up

for you, opportunity that's going to release

you into an incredible time. And you're going

to be a kingdom builder, building things and

making things for the kingdom. And God's going

to give you inroads into infrastructures, into

offices, into resources. Like you're going to

be like, you've got like a Nehemiah anointing

to go to the king and say, release the resources.

That's what's on you. And the king's going to

release resources and you're going to know exactly

where to take them and what to do with them.

Hallelujah. For the Lord is showing me that you

know how to put your hand to the resource and

make it fruitful. And that's in your spirit.

He made you, I want to call you Holy Ghost Builder

Bob. That's what I want to call you. That's what

I see on you, man. Yeah. Yeah. And your future

is like incredibly bright and flourishing and

fruitful. And, you know, deep, deep, deep in

your heart, you've always wanted to help other

people and you want to make a difference and

you've never known how, but this is how you're

going to do it. This is how you're going to,

every time you move in this anointing, people

are going to be so blessed and so relieved that

you came because you're going to be. you're going

to be sent of God as an answer to prayer after

prayer after prayer. So every time you show up,

you're sent as an answer to prayer. That's quite

a ministry, my friend. That's on you. Hallelujah.

Amen. All right, you can do whatever you want

to do. You have permission to loiter in the presence

of the Holy Spirit. But I want to share this

word particularly because the Lord began to reveal

this to me this afternoon. And I'm always amazed

at the... Thank you, you did so awesome. Pastor

Beck, can I take her on the road for a while?

I mean, I think we could... Oh, finish school.

Hurry up, hurry up, Jack. There's something that

is very dear to the Lord's heart, and I'm always

amazed, quite honestly, when I get to praying

into healing for miracle meetings like this,

because not very far into praying, you know what

you run into? The compassion of Jesus. It just

hits you. His compassion and His desire for you

to be healed is just more than we could possibly

understand. He wants everybody healed. You know,

he's no respecter of persons. I mean, I've heard

a lot of preaching and teaching, and I'm sure

you've all had a lot too. But can I just tell

you, just hear this. If you're sick, Jesus wants

you healed. If you're oppressed in any way, he

does not want you to be oppressed of the devil.

Now, he might deal with you. You've got to discern

the difference. But he healed all who were oppressed

of the devil. Is that what the Bible says? Yeah.

If he's working on you, that's to make you better.

If the devil's working on you, that's to make

you bitter and worse. Right? So are you getting

bitter or are you getting better? That's a little

discernment. Right? And there's a difference

between conviction and condemnation. Conviction

draws you to God. Condemnation makes you run

away from God. So discern the dealings. But I

just ran into this compassion. I run into it

all the time. I run into it and it makes me just

want to... Do nothing but go into healing ministry

and heal people. And I'm okay with that. I would

actually do that. But can I tell you it's one

of the most exhausting ministries that there

is. A healing ministry. Because I've done it

a lot. And the needs can overwhelm more than

one individual in a human body over a course

of time can sustain. That's true, man. I mean,

Pastor Tony and I were talking today about healing

lines. And you have five, and then you have 10,

and then you look over here, and then there's

50 in that line. And then you get it down to

about 10 again, and then there's 50 next time

you look up. How does that work? The church is

fruitful in multiplying. It never ends. I was

telling you about this. I was doing these revival

meetings in Madras, Oregon. You all know where

that's at? It's a real place. That's where they

just had all those people go in and watch the

sun. Get blacked out. Anyway, good for the town,

I guess. Amen. But I was actually in there and

I was growing out legs that day. And I mean,

there was a whole bunch of people had one leg

shorter than the other. I mean, like a lot. So

I grew out legs all one day. And that evening,

I start doing a miracle meeting again like this

one. And this line never shuts off and never

stops. And I see this guy. I just happened to

look up. He walks in the back door, cowboy hat,

cowboy boots. I think he even had spurs on, pretty

fresh, you know, right off the horse or the barnyard

or wherever. He comes in, and he bypasses everybody.

And he walks up there. He says, I just got off

work. I just got a minute. I heard you're growing

out legs. I need mine done. Can you do it right

now? I said, of course. Excuse me just a moment.

You go, how could you tell him you'll grow out

your leg? Well, don't you remember when the centurion

came and said, would you heal my servant? He

said, I will. I'll come and heal him. He didn't

say, well, I don't know. I've got to pray and

fast and think about it. No, he said, I'll come

and heal him. Well, this guy came in. I said,

I'll heal you. Not me, but Jesus through me.

You know, he knew what was going on. And in like

three seconds, the Lord grew out his leg. He

checked it all out, put his boot back on, said,

thank you, sir. Put his hat on and walked out

the door. Madness Oregon. Go figure. But you

know what? The word got out. And everybody started

taking off 15 minutes off of work, run over to

get their miracle and go back to work. It was

really fun. I think that's going to happen again

somewhere. Make room for people to come. But

the Lord taught me something a while back. And

it's always really impressed me, and it's stayed

with me. And I believe it's been the reason that

the Lord has allowed me to maintain health and

healing. I have not been sick or anything. I

am not going to be sick or anything. The Lord

just sustains me. And that's a miracle with my

travel schedule and how many time zones and places

and things I'm in all the time and, you know,

different diets and those sort of things. But

here I am just as full of energy and ready to,

you know. Go for it. That's the goodness of the

Lord. That's good. That's the goodness of the

Lord. But tonight, the Lord wanted to deal specifically

with my segment, even though Pastor Tony's going

to come up here, whether he knows it or not,

here pretty quick and do his thing. We've done

this before. We've been hanging out before, me

and him. I love you. If I could say this without

offending anybody, he's my big chocolate teddy

bear. Yeah, and his wife is no sleeper either,

so you watch out. Deborah, she'll get you. But

the Lord is after ministry people tonight. This

little part I've got here, I probably took up

way too much time, Brother Tony, I'm sorry. I

was just rolling. You know how it is, man. You

get in it, and you're in it, man. And you're

just going, and it's going, and God's good. Hallelujah.

I got one more prophetic word, and then I'm going

to get into this healing thing. Can I just get

out of the way? If I don't do it, I just can't

pay attention. Thank you. You guys are awesome.

Sorry, Pastor Red. You go, this guy is crazy.

It's just the dancing hand of the Holy Spirit,

right? I'm not afraid to go where he goes and

do it. You know, healing will happen, right?

Yeah. I got to find this person. There's my dear

friend, Pastor Kenny. Bless you, bro. From years

and years and years. And here's the fine, Mrs.

Kenny. Bless you. And this is? Hope. And great.

Hope and grace. Where's love? All you? Okay.

I have a word for you. I saw you walk across

the parking lot this afternoon. The Lord gave

me a word for you when you were just walking

across the parking lot. Isn't that crazy? We

were like a long ways apart. And I looked up

and I saw you walking across the parking lot.

And you're walking across the parking lot. And

I'm like, yeah, that's a person walking across

the parking lot. And I'm trying to talk to this

person. And the Lord says, is that person walking

across the parking lot? And I said, yes. And

I go back and he goes, no, see that person walking

across the parking lot. I said, yes, I see that

person. Well, he said to tell you something very,

very important. So after you're finished with

school, you with me? God has a country in mind

for you. Yeah, I know. You're like, wait a minute.

Wait, wait, wait, what? You have a call, believe

it or not, for missions. And it's going to be

a completely different way into missions than

most people think. Because you're going to go

into missions through talent and through skill

and through your persona of who you are. It's

not going to go the traditional way. You're not

going to ever raise money. You're going to be

a woman apostolic mission person. You're going

to have your own business, your own base, and

you're going to reach out to a particular country.

And let me tell you where it is. You're going

to like it. I was just there. I did a ministry

cruise there. Do you know where Australia is?

That's going to be part of it. Do you know the

islands on the other side of Australia? You don't?

Well, you will. Because that's where you're heading.

You're going to be the island girl missionary.

Amen. Okay. That's really good. And by the way,

I just went and forerun the whole island for

you. I spent 14 days over there preaching and

prophesying all the way from Australia all the

way out to the islands. And they're the Solomon

Islands. And they're filled with gold and jewels

and silver and really cool people. I was on an

island over there that no man lives on. There's

not a house on it. And we went on that island

and people showed up and we preached the gospel

to them and they got saved on an island with

no people and no houses. Just a few months ago.

How's that work? I think God was up to something.

The Lord told me this secret. And he told it

to me in a manner that's like the Lord. But it

was more like, if I could put it this way, it

was more like a father -son conversation or more

like a brother -brother conversation that you

have with a father or a brother just before you're

going to go out and do something very significant,

right? And it's like that what you need to know

before you go, right? And so when the Lord brought

this revelation to me, I've kept it close, and

I've walked with it, and it's been faithful to

me all my days. But as I began to pray tonight,

and I felt the compassion of the Lord, and I

said, Lord, what is your compassion for tonight?

What are you doing? Because it says the Lord

was moved by compassion, and he healed. So I

try to always say, Lord, what's your compassion?

What's moving you tonight here in this building

among these people? And this is what he said.

It's the ministers or those that are called into

some kind of ministry. Now, don't stereotype

that on me, will you? Just don't get your business

card or your credentials or your plaques, even

though you may have one. I'm talking about people

like that, but also people who have a ministry,

if you will. Are you with me? to some other people,

place, or time beyond your own right here circle.

You with me? All right. Because the Lord has

really begun to show me tonight that there's

many that have had that ministry ability interrupted

by sickness or by disease or by hurts or by rejection

or by lack of affirmation. By lack of understanding.

There's many good people that just don't understand

your call. And so they just reject you. Or they're

afraid of your call. So they reject you. Especially

prophets. Most people are scared of you. They

are. And you prophesy what God gives you to prophesy.

And guess what? It's called they reject it. Do

you know the biggest thing that prophets carry

is rejection? Because they're constantly rejected.

Do you know, if you're not careful, if you have

that prophetic kind of revelatory thing, that

that can become a point of wounding and a point

of bitterness. And pretty soon you shut up and

your prophecy, instead of bringing love, brings

sarcasm. So if you're a very sarcastic person,

you could be a bitter prophet. Because you've

been rejected. I'm telling you the truth. But

a lot of people are simply dealing with sickness

and infirmity because of the emotional stuff

that's happened to you in ministry. That's true.

I could tell some of you get this. And the Lord

spoke to me very clearly tonight, very, very

clearly just a few hours before I got here. And

he said, this is my compassion. I want ministers

mobilized. I want them restored, and I want them

moving. And so that's going to be my part for

just a minute. I want to deal with that. But

I want to show you how the Lord brought me this

revelation because if you get this, somebody

right over there, I'm sorry, I'm just like a

Holy Ghost jackrabbit. Somebody right there just

got a healing. In your shoulders and down your

back. Right in here somewhere. I just saw the

gift come. The healing package. Anybody right

there have any issues? Back, spine, neck. I saw

it. Oh, that's you. You're still getting your

download. Lord, give her more. I just saw it

come right on you. Out of the corner of my eye.

Jesus, fix her all up. You're going to get totally

good before the night's over. Matthew chapter

Matthew 4 · chapter mention

4, let me share this with you. I'll minister

to it and then my chocolate teddy bear buddy

is going to come. I actually told that to my

wife this afternoon on the phone. She goes, who

are you with? I said, my chocolate teddy bear

buddy. She goes, Tony? I said, yeah. I said,

you got to hook up with his wife. She was telling

me some stuff about what you can do when we travel

together. But I'm not going to let you get around

her right away because that girl's got some game

and I'm not sure how much I want you to get.

No, I'm kidding. Matthew chapter 4. Jesus, after

Matthew 4 · chapter mention

his temptation in the wilderness, the Bible says

that he came out of the desert in power of the

Holy Spirit. He come out with power. Power. He

came out with power. And he began to preach.

And the first thing that he said was this, repent

for the kingdom of God is at hand. Or some translations

say repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Now, what is this kingdom of heaven that's at

hand? What is it? What is it for me and you right

now? What was it for them right then? What is

this kingdom of heaven that's within reach, within

grasp, able to be laid hold of, able to be brought

unto yourself, able to be partaken of? What is

this kingdom of heaven? So I read on in Matthew

Matthew 4 · chapter mention

chapter 4. And this is what I discover about

the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven. It

says this in verse 23, chapter 4, verse 23 of

Matthew. It says, and Jesus went about all Galilee.

Now, this is the same context reading right down

through here. Teaching in their synagogues, preaching

the gospel of the kingdom. I need to do a whole

series of messages on the gospel of the kingdom.

Because there's so many gospels out there that

people are so confused. Jesus said he preached

the gospel of the kingdom. Of what? The kingdom

of God. Heaven, the kingdom of God, not the gospel

of some professor nutty cakes in some place that

wrote a commentary in some book. Help me, Jesus,

before I get in sin. Anyway, if you spend more

time reading your commentary than you do your

Bible, you're in trouble. And then I found out

that, well, anyway, I'm just going to keep going

over here. I better be quiet. I found out something

that was interesting. Oh, the joy of the Lord

is my strength. Anyway, here we go. Jesus went

all about Galilee, teaching in their synagogues

and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. And

healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of

disease among the people. So I am seeing that

the gospel of the kingdom is directly connected

to and manifested by healing, deliverance, freedom,

salvation, blessing, prosperity, restoration.

You getting it? The gospel of the kingdom speaks

about and accomplishes those things, releases

the power of faith to lay hold of the kingdom

of heaven, put it in your hand and bring it to

yourself. Right? So I'm seeing this. Verse 24,

that his fame went throughout all Syria. Boy,

there's a message that would blow a lot of Christians'

minds that are still hung up on Jerusalem. It

started in Syria, my friends. In Damascus, you

didn't know that, did you? Well, Mount Hermon,

have you ever heard of that? Anyway, yeah, that's

why it went back to where it started and then

it came to Jerusalem. But anyway, interesting.

Then he went throughout all Syria and they brought

to him all the sick people who were afflicted

with various diseases and torments and all those

who were demon -possessed. Epileptics, paralytics,

and he healed them. You know what I like about

the Bible is it just says what it needs to say.

How many churches today have the guts to read

that people are demon -possessed and that they

need devils kicked out of them? They need to

be delivered from demonic possession. I'm telling

you, that message better be finding its way back

to the body of Christ because you're going to

be toe -to -toe with Mr. D pretty soon. And if

you don't know how to deal with them, you're

going to be not the better for it. You're going

to be wishing you knew how to cast out devils.

I tell people all the time, they go, man, I'm

just not sure Jesus is real. I said, come here.

I'll go find me somebody with a demon. It takes

about three minutes. Start speaking of that thing.

Get it to manifest. Say, come here, you believe,

you don't, not sure you believe in Jesus? What

we got going on here? Is that manifest? Is that

real? Is that a spirit? Is that talking? Is that

throwing that, is they gagging? Now watch this.

They'll go, what? In the name of Jesus Christ,

come out. They come out and go, do you believe

in Jesus? Yes, I do. He has power. Works every

time. When I got saved in my first ministry,

two weeks after being born again, for five years

after the first two weeks of being born again,

I got put in the deliverance department. I did

nothing but deliverance for five years straight.

Amen. What a way to believe in Jesus. Great multitudes

followed him from Galilee, from Decapolis, Jerusalem,

Judea, and beyond the Jordan. Now, this whole

story here in Matthew chapter 4 about Jesus declaring

Matthew 4 · chapter mention

the kingdom of heaven as a hand and revealing

the kingdom of heaven and letting people lay

hold of the kingdom, being healed, set free,

delivered, so forth and so on, all flows into

this context where then Jesus calls his disciples

to himself, and this is the beginning of the

Sermon on the Mount, right? Now, this is my take

on it, and you don't have to agree with my take

on whether it was a mountain or a mound or whatever.

That's not the issue, but this is the way I read

this. It looks to me like Jesus called the twelve

to himself up on this mountain. Why, all the

people that were just healed, set free, and delivered

were down there rejoicing. Jumping around, celebrating.

Could you imagine the sound down there of the

multitude of everybody healed? It says all, all.

Nobody was like, hey, Jesus, I didn't get healed.

No, everybody of everything. Paralytics, people

who couldn't walk, couldn't talk. Come on. The

deaf, the blind, the oppressed. Nobody got left.

Everybody down there got healed. And so Jesus

comes aside from that, brings the 12 upon the

mountain or on the mound. and all these people

are down there, and I, do you know that was a

party? Who would not be having a party that couldn't

see, hear, walk, talk, or whatever for who knows

how long, and all of a sudden, everybody's got

a voice back, legs back, come on. They are not,

you know, like, okay, well, let's, you know,

take a nap. They are making a commotion. So Jesus

pulls the 12 aside. This is the way the Lord

explained it to me, so I'm just going to go with

it. Brought him up on the mountain, and he begins

to reveal an incredible secret. A secret so powerful

that, can I just tell you and suggest to you,

have you ever noticed that not one single apostle

or disciple quit the ministry because they were

sick or diseased? Had to quit? Did you ever notice

that not one single apostle or disciple quit

the ministry because of a rejection or hurt or

an emotional issue? None of them. Why is that?

I'm going to show you, because this is what the

Lord showed me. He says, if you'll understand

this, he said, no one can ever take you down

or take you out. You'll keep going. You'll continually

walk in health and prosperity all the days that

I've called you to what I've called you to do,

as long as I've called you to do it. If you get

a hold of this tonight, You're going to get healed,

first of all. You're going to get restored, first

of all. And then second, you're going to never

be subject to infirmities or sickness or disease

or emotional issues in regards to keeping you

out of ministry ever again. Right? Why would

the Lord call you into ministry just to watch

you flame out? No, the callings... Romans 11,

29, the gifts and callings of God, they're irrevocable.

They don't change. They don't shut off. I mean,

I've had people tell me, hey, why don't you go

get a lawnmower and be a landscaper? Why don't

you drive a truck? What's wrong with you? I said,

I'm not called to do that. I didn't ask you if

you're a calling. Go get a job. I go, I got a

job. It's a calling. You do not shut it off.

You don't retire from it. It doesn't quit. It

gets you up in the morning, keeps you up late

at night in Eugene, Oregon or wherever, Harrisburg.

And you love it. You don't hate it, you love

it. So Jesus brings the 12 up there. And the

way Jesus told me, shared this with me is that

he said, hey boys, he's talking to the 12. He

said, do you hear that down there? Do you hear

that celebrating? Guys, do you see that down

there? Do you see all those people that followed

me and then by faith they received healing, wholeness,

freedom, deliverance, all of it. Do you hear

that down there? They're going, yeah, Jesus,

we hear it. He said, that's the kingdom of heaven

right there. That's what it sounds like and that's

what it looks like. Before I created those people

for my glory. I created them my image and likeness.

I created them for my glory. I created them to

give them my glory, to shine up my glory. I created

them to lavish upon them mercy and grace and

strength in my kingdom. That's what I created

them for, to give them everything that I have

and to withhold nothing. Doesn't the Bible say,

if he gave us his son, will he not also freely

give us all things? If he gave us Jesus, he's

not going to hold anything else from you. Come

on. And Jesus is telling me, that's the kingdom.

That's the kingdom. And he's like, boys, do you

like that? And the disciples are like, yeah,

Jesus, that's totally awesome. And he says, I'm

going to tell you now how to be that way every

day. Okay, what is it, King? What is it? About

the kingdom, Jesus. You want to show me. So he

begins with the Beatitudes. So I read them. And

I thought they were awesome. But the Lord says,

read them again. So I read them again. I said,

Lord, they're awesome. He said, you're missing

what I'm trying to show you. I said, okay. So

I read them again. And I said, God, these are

incredible. I love your word. He's like, yeah,

and? And how do these Beatitudes keep you healthy

and wealthy and prosperous and in my presence

and in my word and in ministry? I'm like, yeah,

they're awesome, God. He said, I want you to

see that my kingdom is present. Right now. It

always will be present. Right now. It's always

available right now. There is no delay and no

restriction to accessing what you need from my

kingdom the moment you need it. There is no delay.

There is to be no time lapse. There is to be

no delay in what you need. It's immediate. I

said, Lord, you've got to show me this. He said,

okay, I'm going to show it to you. So I began

to read this over again. It says this, verse

2. Well, I'll just read it. And seeing the multitudes,

he went up on a mountain, and when he was seated

with his disciples, came to him. He began to

teach them this. And I just told you, watch this.

It said, blessed are the poor in spirit, for

theirs is the kingdom of heaven. He goes on to

say, blessed are those who mourn, for they shall

be comforted. And the Lord says, stop right there.

I said, okay. He said, read that verse again.

Blessed are the poor in spirit. In other words,

meaning not those who don't have any money. Those

who are utterly and completely dependent upon

me to live and move and have their being. That's

what that means, poor in spirit. Right? Blessed

are the poor in spirit. Watch that. Theirs, here

it is, is the kingdom of heaven. Is, right now,

ever present, no delay, no restrictions. Right

now, theirs is the kingdom. If you read these

other verses, it says, there shall be. Did you

catch that? Blessed are the poor in spirit, for

theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Verses 4, 5,

6, and 7 and 8 would say, blessed be, for they

shall. In other words, something in the future.

When it says there is the kingdom, that means

it's ever -present, right now, completely accessible.

What? And he healed them all of sickness and

disease and cast out their demons. Those are

paralyzed. I mean, he healed them all. So how

close is the kingdom of heaven that's at hand?

Right now. There is no restriction. There's no

delay. There's no qualifying. It says, if you're

poor in spirit, what's that mean? I'm utterly

and totally dependent upon you, God, unless you

heal me, I will not be healed. I'm totally and

utterly dependent upon you to forgive me of my

sins, God. If you don't forgive me, I'm not forgiven.

I'm totally and utterly dependent upon you, God,

to protect me through this day, because if you

don't protect me, the devil's going to take me

out. That's poor in spirit. What's the qualifications

for the kingdom right now? Being totally dependent

upon it. No options, no plan B. See, Americans,

we got this plan B. I'm telling you, we got plan

B. We got plan C, credit card. We got plan D,

debt. You know what I'm saying? We got skills

to keep us from having Jesus first. That's why

when you go to foreign countries, when I go,

people get healed, miracles. I mean, just like

right now. Why? Because they have no options.

They come to get what they come to get. You hear

what I'm saying? It's not plan B. You don't walk

10 miles without food on a hot, sunny day without

shoes to come up and say, well, I thought I'd

come check this out, see if Jesus might be looking

good on me today. No, they come to get what they

came to get, and they're not leaving without

it. They're poor in spirit. In other words, they're

totally and utterly dependent upon the kingdom

of God to live and move and have their being.

And what's the Bible says? Blessed are the poor

in spirit for theirs is. Is, is the kingdom of

heaven. When is is? It's right now. It never

stops. It never ceases. It never closes. There's

no operating hours. There's no qualifications.

Come on, you there. You don't have to hold your

mouth just right. You don't have to read the

Bible five times a day. You don't have to fast

and pray for 65 days. You don't have to, you

know, not kick your dog for the week. You know

what I'm saying? You know all the stuff that

we have to justify ourselves with to be worthy

for God to do something? Or some religious leader

puts something on you that condemns you and holds

you back because you're not worthy? You know

the religious thing? Well, you probably don't

hear, but you know what I'm saying? It's out

there. That's not what the Bible says. It says

if you're totally and absolutely 100 % dependent

upon God with that faith and you come to him

with your need, the kingdom of heaven is right

there that you can access whatever you need,

bring it to yourself, and have it manifest and

fulfill. Yours is the kingdom. Now, here's the

other part of it. What about ministers that get

backstabbed, character assassination, nobody

likes them, use them up, abuse them. I've been

a pastor a long time. I found out that sheep

bite. That's why the shepherd has the rod and

the staff, I promise you. And I'm a shepherd

that knows how to use them. Just kidding you,

that sounded wrong, didn't it? But anyway. If

you go on down here to verse 10, it talks about

ministries and ministers that... Have the very,

very real paralyzing emotional issues that come

with ministry. Rejection, character assassination,

stabbing you in the back. Come on, all those

things. And I'm not talking just about people

like me standing up behind a pulpit. I'm talking

about you. You with me? I'm talking about all

of you. When you try to do something for the

Lord, that thing that buffets you, that thing

that comes against you, right? That thing that

stops you. If sickness won't slow you down, then

we'll just wipe out your soul. We'll get a hold

of your emotions and wind you up like a ball

of yarn and you're not going to get out. And

so look at what it says. The second place in

the Beatitudes where the word is appears. In

other words, ever -present, right now, available

kingdom, no delay, no qualifications, right?

Just get it. This is what it says. Verse 10.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness'

sake, for theirs is the kingdom. No delay, no

waiting, no qualification. Come on. Get it. The

Lord said to me, he said, if you remember this,

All your days, if ever sickness tries to come

upon you, remember yours is the kingdom. Don't

try to fast and pray your way out of it. Don't

try to qualify. Don't try to jump through hoops.

He said, yours is the kingdom. Just get it right

now. Get it right now and be healed. I've done

that all my life and here I am today, sickness

free. Come on. I'm a testimony of Jesus' word.

I believe in it. I'll boast, make my boast in

the Lord. I'm not afraid to boast to the Lord.

He's awesome. He's got my back. I boast in him.

So I've been in ministry a long time, too. Do

you know that? I pastored for a long time. A

few different places, a lot of different congregations.

Met a lot of people. Met a lot of really wonderful,

nice people, which most are. Met a few of them.

I met a few of them, other ones. Then I've been

in all kinds of ministry. Can I just tell you

that in ministry there is, when I pastored I

thought there was like pressure to do certain

things a certain way and have this and have that

and all the qualifications and all the checklist

of, you know, if you're a good, prosperous, wonderful

church and pastor. You know, you labor under

all that man -made garbage until you get free

from it. And so then I go on the road for 15

years and guess what I found out? There's more

competition on the road than there is being a

pastor of a church. You cannot believe the jealousy,

the greed, the throw you under the bus, the backbiting,

this character assassination. I'm like, God,

what is all this for my loving brothers and sisters

in the Lord? So he said, listen, remember this.

Number one, they're not rejecting you. They're

rejecting me in you. Don't take it personal.

I'm like, I like that. Sing and say whatever

you want to me. You're not rejecting me. You're

rejecting Christ in me. You're rejecting what

Jesus put in me to minister to you. You're not

rejecting me. You're rejecting him. So I don't,

I'm neutral in a sense. Now women, God bless

them. Deborah will tell you something a little

bit different. Women take things a little more

personally than us guys do. Uh -huh. Yeah. They'll

still run over you ten years later if they see

you in the crosswalk and nobody's around. That's

why the Bible says there's grace, and then after

the women got involved heavily in the church,

there was great grace. But anyway, I'll just

leave that to you. But the Lord told me that

if you let these emotional things not be personal,

because they're not rejecting you, they're not

measuring or judging your ministry, they're judging

his. And just be free. Just be my minister. And

if anything does come upon you, remember, you

can come to me because yours is the kingdom.

If you're quick to forgive, you'll be quick to

be made whole. If you don't carry no grudges,

no bitterness, no judgments, listen, why have

them? They work against you. The Lord says, come

to me. He said, just tell me what's on your heart.

He said, I already know it. Why don't you just

tell me? And when you tell me, it's coming off

your heart. Then off comes judgment, bitterness,

sin, blah, blah, blah. It just comes right off

your heart. Guess what happens? Your heart's

clean, pure. Guess what? You keep going, and

you're good. Right? It's called forgiveness.

The hardest thing about forgiveness is that you

think, well, Lord, if I forgive them, that means

that they're right and I'm wrong. That's not

correct. That doesn't mean anything. It just

means that you're willing to forgive them because

the Lord told you to, right? Yeah. So the Lord

says, if you'll always remember just to forgive

those, come on, who offend you, who hurt you,

who use you. Remember the Lord's prayer? Lord,

forgive me of my sins as I forgive others of.

Boy, if you keep adding the second part of that

prayer, you'll be good to go. Right? Keep your

heart clean. Keep you from judgment and bitterness.

You can walk down the same side of the street

as somebody who's just offended you an hour earlier,

and they'll be the one that'll run to the other

side of the sidewalk. Not you. Why? Because you're

free. I've looked at people that have done me

so wrong, and I can look at them and go, hey,

how are you doing today? They're like, fine.

What's wrong with you? Nothing. Just having a

good day. Well, you've got a short memory, buddy,

because I just, you know, kind of, yeah. I'm

like, well, that's between you and the Lord.

I'm doing good. So, you know, he's after you

now. You're off my hook. You deal with him. Come

on, I'm telling you the truth. Are you with me?

It always amazes me when I'm doing pastoral counseling

and people would come in to talk to me, and they

would have all these issues, and they're real.

I'm not trying to make them small. They're real.

People heard them, said stuff about them, and

they're like, I've got to quit ministry. I've

got to quit life. I've got to divorce. I've got

to eat my kids, whatever. And I said, you know,

I said, How is it that I can be in ministry for

10, 15, 20, 30 years and here I am whole and

you've been in ministry, you know, two years

or two weeks and you're like a wreck? Okay, let's

learn this together. They're not rejecting you.

They're rejecting Christ in you. Be free and

forgive them and move on. Otherwise, you're going

to flame out and burn out real quick. And when

you get unforgiveness or you get bitterness or

you get like multiple emotional wounds, you know

what happens to your body? It begins to give

itself over to sickness. Right? All right. So

you get it? All right. So I'm going to do my

ministry now that I've used up my brother's time.

And we're going to pray. Okay? We're just going

to get healed tonight. Right away. All right?

So. I'm going to ask everybody in this room that

is in any kind of ministry that stalled out because

of sickness or disease or stalled out because

you've been blown up and burnt out by emotional

issues or because you lack provision to go forward.

We're going to bring a restoration to all those

areas tonight and healing. Okay? So just stand

up. Be brave. Thank you. We're all just family

here. Yeah. This is really tenderly on the heart

of the Lord tonight. There's the heart of the

Lord of the Northwest, or the Pacific Northwest,

but the heart of the Lord for you, His ministers.

Because you've stepped out and you're giving

it all. So, if you just play for me a little

bit there, Jackie, I'm just going to do this.

Just for a moment. Lord Jesus, I just pray over

these precious servants and ministers of yours

tonight. In whatever capacity they're serving,

whatever capacity they're operating in. Lord,

the main thing is they said yes to you when you

asked them to do something. Whether it's preach

behind a pulpit or whether it's minister to the

lady down the street. Whether it's... A kind

hand, whether it's teaching, ministry, prisons,

ministry, whatever. All the many facets. But

they said yes, God. And along the way, they were

buffeted. Hard, and it's real, and it's tangible.

And now some of them have sickness and disease

in their body. Others have emotional issues that

are just tremendous. They're very real. So Father,

first of all tonight, we just choose, Lord, as

ministers to forgive all of those other ministers

or people. Lord, we just forgive them as you've

forgiven us. As you've forgiven us, we forgive

them. Completely release them. And Lord, we pray

right now you'd take off of our heart and out

of our heart all the charged emotional issues

and thoughts and binds. things that hold us captive

to that. Anything that's released sickness or

disease in our body, Lord, let that be removed

now in Jesus' name. Let your healing flow already

begin to come into body, soul, and spirit. Body,

soul, and spirit, healing and anointing of Jesus

to restore ministers and ministers. Because you

said ours is the kingdom. So Lord, I pray also

right now for those who have just an infirmity.

Lord, maybe not emotionally, just the infirmities

in their body. They're not able to continue going

because of the infirmity. And in the name of

Jesus, I rebuke the devourer. I rebuke the spirit

of infirmity. I loose you from your sickness.

I loose you from your disease. I loose you from

your affliction. I loose you from the torment.

I loose you from the delay of healing. And I

say, yours is the kingdom right now. And let

the kingdom be released in healing and restoration.

I call you healed in Jesus' name. And I declare

healing released in this room over ministers

and ministries right now in Jesus' name. Restored

fully. And Lord, for those who have tried to

go and they lack resources or ability, in Jesus'

name, I unshackle, I loosen, I release lost,

stolen, delayed, denied provision in Jesus' name

to all ministries ready to go. I call doors open

in Jesus' name. Thank you for healing them tonight

in Jesus' name. Thank you that they're being

restored this very moment. Hallelujah. Sickness

is gone. Disease is gone. Poverty, destruction,

emotional issues healed. Righteousness, peace,

and joy of the Holy Spirit is coming back upon

them. The anointing is filling them back up.

Energy, strength, and vision is back in them

in Jesus' name. Thank you, Father. Thank you,

Father. Thank you, Father. Just let that soak

in for a minute in Jesus name. If you are interested
