  1. Awesome. For some of you that heard that message,

  2. you know, we got a glimpse of that. I want you

  3. to know that, you know, obviously we've been

  4. in our building just about five months from our

  5. soft opening. God's doing some amazing things

  6. here. The church, you know, there's a lot of

  7. new faces. I want to encourage you as the first

  8. hearing that. Church, you need to understand

  9. something. When God gives somebody a life message,

  10. He continues to unfold and deepen the revelation

  11. that's found in the scriptures. Number one, there's

  12. life messages that he's given me. These are part

  13. of the things that he just keeps expanding. Why?

  14. Because we do believe that God holds the answer

  15. to everything in this life he created. It would

  16. be foolish of us to think that somehow man knows

  17. something more than God who originated it. I'm

  18. going to just give you my opinion here. It's

  19. fact. To pray, not just for the nation, but to

  20. pray for our state, our area, our tri -county

  21. area, because there needs to be an atmosphere

  22. shift of people being God conscious. Science

  23. is wonderful because it's discovery. The problem

  24. is they don't give credit back to God where it

  25. all starts from. But that's really what science

  26. is, and that's why we should know about these

  27. things. And as we do that, we'll be having different

  28. speakers. And I'm looking forward to the next

  29. month as well. We'll be having intricacies of

  30. the Creator of heaven and earth that holds all

  31. things together by the power of His Word. Amen?

  32. Amen. Would you stand with me this morning? In

  33. fact, as our ministry teams are coming, even

  34. to my left, your right, healing teams, if you

  35. have a need in your body or your soul, you want

  36. prayer. You need breakthrough for anything. This

  37. is what we do. After every service, we're creating

  38. a place for you to get extra prayer and to release

  39. the kingdom of God over your life, body, soul,

  40. and spirit. Let's pray. Father, in the name of

  41. the Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you. Lord, you

  42. are a... God that is above all. And yet you've

  43. chosen, chosen through your son to identify with

  44. us and to love us and to bring us into relationship.

  45. What a marvelous God you are. What a marvelous

  46. king you are. Lord, we turn our attention to

  47. you and we say this day, let our minds be expanded

  48. with the glory of God of how intricately you're

  49. involved in every part, not only in our life,

  50. but more. Your word is continuing to expand throughout

  51. the universe. Glory and honor and power and dominion

  52. and praise be to our God forever and ever. Glory

  53. and power and praise and dominion and your rule

  54. be to our God forever and ever. We say, go church.

  55. Let the church of the living God have dominion

  56. in his name and his authority. And everybody

  57. said, amen. May the best team win this afternoon.

  58. God bless you. Have a great weekend. that. So

  59. my heart's full of joy today as I look out and

  60. see all of you here and see what God is doing

  61. in this part of the planet and see what God is

  62. doing through you. And knowing what's coming,

  63. the moves of God, the things of God that are

  64. coming, and to see you here ready to engage those

  65. things and ready to be prepared to participate

  66. and ready to have your spiritual life in order

  67. so your life is going to count in the days ahead.

  68. It's a tremendous thing to see you here and to

  69. be willing to partake and to be part of what

  70. God is doing. So I just bless you this morning

  71. and say happy Sunday morning to you. God bless

  72. you all. That's good. Amen. Well, every year

  73. I publish or I put out, if you will, a prophetic

  74. overview of the coming year. I've done that for

  75. a number of years. And so this morning I want

  76. to talk to you a little bit about the coming

  77. year, this year of 2016, even though we're already

  78. gently beginning to come into this year. But

  79. the Lord has many things that he's saying and

  80. he's doing for 2016. And part of my calling is

  81. to be like a watchman on the wall and be a bit

  82. of a prophetic voice to this nation and speak

  83. and declare what God has shown me and what God

  84. is saying and what he's doing. And I always encourage

  85. people when I give a prophetic... overview to

  86. take what I say and to look at other prophetic

  87. words and prophets that you know of and put those

  88. words together because it'll give you a wonderful

  89. outlook a big picture of what God's saying and

  90. doing so you can be a part of what he's doing

  91. and not be wondering gee what what is God doing

  92. this year God sends his prophetic voices to tell

  93. you And so I want to share a few things with

  94. you this morning about 2016. Just a little bit,

  95. not a whole lot. If you want to know my whole

  96. prophetic word, you can go to my website if you

  97. like. It's kingdomrevelation .org. Kingdomrevelation

  98. .org. Just go there and look up the January newsletter.

  99. And there's ten prophetic words there, utterances

  100. on there, even about the election. Some very

  101. crazy stuff that God has shown us about the election.

  102. You ought to go read that. if nothing else, and

  103. pray into it and see the shocking results. All

  104. the news channels will be shocked. Anyway, hallelujah.

  105. Bless God. Well, there's one amen. I got somebody

  106. I like out there. Love you all. Amen. This morning

  107. I want to go to Psalms 116. If you have your

  108. Bibles and want to follow along or take notes,

  109. that sort of thing, I'm going to be speaking

  110. out of that psalm because... The Lord has really

  111. spoken to me this year about this particular

  112. psalm, it's 116, about being significant for

  113. this year and painting a picture or revealing

  114. to some degree what God is going to do this year,

  115. what he intends to do, if you by faith will engage

  116. it and allow him to do it, if you will seek him

  117. out. This is what God is saying that he is going

  118. to do. We hear what the world is going to do.

  119. We hear through pundits and financial people

  120. and spiritual people and news people and business

  121. people. We hear what they're saying, but don't

  122. you think it's good that we hear what God's saying?

  123. If you hear what God's saying and you stay with

  124. what God's saying, the Bible says very clearly

  125. that if you believe in God, you'll be established.

  126. And if you believe what the prophets bring, you'll

  127. prosper. That's a good word. That's in the Bible,

  128. by the way. Isn't that true? Sure it is. And

  129. so I just encourage you to listen and then take

  130. the outlook and take the experience that you

  131. have this year coming up in 2016 and go back

  132. to the Word and be based and founded in that

  133. Word. That's heaven's reality, which means that

  134. is to be your reality, irregardless of what you

  135. see here. That's what you're to bring by faith

  136. into your midst. Amen? And so be encouraged this

  137. morning as we look at Psalms 116 and get a sense

  138. of what God is doing just in an overall way this

  139. year. I want to give you five points if we get

  140. time or whatever. I don't know how this will

  141. go exactly, but I want to show you five things

  142. anyway, five things that God had emphasized to

  143. me out of this psalm. so that we can see and

  144. understand and expect God to move in this manner

  145. on our behalf. So I'm going to read the first

  146. six verses, then I'm going to comment on some

  147. of the psalm. This is what it says. I love the

  148. Lord because He has heard my voice and my supplications.

  149. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore

  150. I will call upon Him as long as I live. The pains

  151. of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol

  152. lay hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow, and

  153. then I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord,

  154. I implore you, deliver my soul. That's something

  155. to say this year. Verse 5, gracious is the Lord

  156. and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. The

  157. Lord preserves the simple. I was brought low,

  158. and he saved me. Now, that's a very enlightening

  159. psalm. It's speaking a lot about what the Lord

  160. has shown me in my time of prayer and visitation

  161. and conversation with Him. That many of us are

  162. in the place where we have come through a very

  163. difficult, dark, trying, testing time. Some of

  164. you may not have, but many of you have. And what

  165. this is really talking about in regards to us

  166. being in this nation is that this nation has

  167. brought us to a place where our hope has been

  168. deferred, where our ability to move forward has

  169. been a bit diminished, where our thinking of

  170. creativity and doing future things has been subject

  171. to can I, should I, would I, knowing or feeling

  172. that these other things are present. Are you

  173. with me? Christians this hour could look at this

  174. and say, I have been in a very difficult place

  175. or I'm in a difficult place. And out of this

  176. place, something has to change. And if it does

  177. not change, these pangs of death of my vision,

  178. death of my purpose, death of my relationships,

  179. death of whatever is about to seize me and lay

  180. hold of me unless God comes and intervenes. And

  181. so as we look at this passage of Scripture, this

  182. psalm, and in context of what this is saying,

  183. I'm delighted to tell you that this psalmist

  184. calls upon God. He talks to God with God's own

  185. words and own promises. And declared, God, you

  186. said, God, you promised, God, you declared, God,

  187. this is your covenant. Come on, are you there?

  188. He began to tell God what God had said, which

  189. is what we're supposed to do, by the way. And

  190. God, who ever lives to perform his word, had

  191. no option, if you will, because of his love and

  192. his grace and because he has bound himself to

  193. his word. He came and he delivered this person,

  194. set him free, brought him out of their situation,

  195. placed him in a very broad and beautiful and

  196. beneficial place. Come on. and delivered them

  197. out of a hopeless situation and restored life

  198. and hope and purpose in them. I'm telling you,

  199. in 2016, if it's not already happened to you

  200. in the past few months, if you're in this spot,

  201. it's going to happen to you this year if you

  202. believe the Word of God. But not just believe

  203. the Word of God. What I want you to see is God

  204. wants you to begin to speak the Word of God.

  205. Look here what God is going to do in 2016. This

  206. is what it says in verse 7. This is the first

  207. point that God really brought this to me and

  208. really emphasized this, if you will. He said,

  209. Return to rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt

  210. bountifully with you. In 2016, my dear friends,

  211. expect... God to deal bountifully with you. Bountifully

  212. with your soul. Bountifully with every area of

  213. your life. You go, but don't you know what's

  214. going on around this world? God is not of this

  215. world and neither are you. Come on. Expect God

  216. to deal bountifully with your soul. He's not

  217. of this economy. He's not of this realm of government.

  218. He's not of this kingdom. He's not of anything

  219. of this. This world is run by the spirit of this

  220. world, by the, come on, anti -Christ spirit.

  221. He's not that. So as Christians, guess what?

  222. Expect God, come on, to deal bountifully with

  223. you. That's how you get up in the morning. Today,

  224. God is going to deal bountifully with my soul,

  225. bountifully with my household, bountifully with

  226. all that I set my hand to. God is going to deal

  227. bountifully with me because I love him, I trust

  228. him, I've called upon him, I've declared the

  229. word of God over my life, my family, my situation,

  230. my circumstance, and therefore God who loves

  231. me and I love him because we're together. One

  232. in the Lord, I tell you, God's going to deal

  233. bountifully with you. bountifully with you. Now

  234. get ready for that. Expect God to deal bountifully

  235. with you. Do you know what happens to you? Whatever

  236. you expect. Hey, come on. Expect that. That's

  237. a good word, isn't it, for 2016? Expect God to

  238. deal bountifully with you. If you go on down

  239. here a ways, it says, for you've delivered my

  240. soul from death. Verse 8, my eyes from tears

  241. and my feet from falling. I will walk before

  242. the Lord in the land of the living. Here's the

  243. next point I want to emphasize to you. Verse

  244. 10, I believed, therefore I spoke. I cannot tell

  245. you how important it is that your conversation

  246. be of the Lord. Be of the Spirit of the Lord.

  247. That your mind is renewed by the word. That the

  248. words that you speak over your life, your family,

  249. come on, your spiritual situation, over every

  250. aspect of your life, the words that you speak

  251. must not be the words of this world, the words

  252. of this culture. God has called us to speak the

  253. word of God. If you want change, if you want

  254. his kingdom economy, if you want his presence

  255. to be in the midst of you, the Bible says, I

  256. believed and therefore I spoke. We've got to

  257. declare what we believe. I'm telling you, the

  258. word of God is powerful. It's powerful. And you

  259. as sons and daughters of God, being born again

  260. by... The Spirit of God, by faith in the shed

  261. blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, by faith in his

  262. resurrection power, by faith that you're seated

  263. with him in heavenly places, by faith that you

  264. have been adopted as sons. Come on, you have

  265. the authority and power to speak his word as

  266. his sons and daughters and speak it just as he

  267. spoke it because you're his representative. And

  268. to bring his kingdom to bear where you are. Come

  269. on. I believed, therefore I spoke. I believed,

  270. therefore I spoke. Do you remember how you were

  271. saved? Romans 10. Do you remember that? 9 and

  272. 10. The word is near you. In your mouth, the

  273. gospel that we preach. Come on, are you there?

  274. That if you believe in your heart first and then

  275. confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, what

  276. happens? A supernatural event. You were born

  277. again. You were saved. Right? That's what this

  278. is saying. I believed and therefore I spoke.

  279. That's the power that happens when you first

  280. believe and then you speak. You believe and you

  281. spoke and you were born again. Now you believe

  282. and you speak and you continue the economy of

  283. the kingdom and build it and release it and establish

  284. it in your midst. Hallelujah. I'm telling you,

  285. we're not here to fail. We're here to overcome.

  286. We're not here to be subject to the powers of

  287. this world. We're here to bring them into subjection

  288. of the King of kings and Lord of lords. We've

  289. got to turn the tables. This guy said, this psalmist

  290. or this lady, she said, well, I believed, therefore

  291. I spoke. I want you to understand that the point

  292. of intervention happened in this psalm when this

  293. guy believed and spoke and prayed and proclaimed

  294. the word of God. It didn't happen before. Are

  295. you with me? God's not going to necessarily move

  296. until you call upon him, nor is he going to move

  297. until you begin to declare, His own word. That's

  298. what this psalm is trying to tell us this year.

  299. God is calling us back to confess that which

  300. we believe. It's a time to bring a confession

  301. of your belief system to bear. It's time to confess

  302. and testify and declare the word of God over

  303. your life, your house, your family, over everything.

  304. And establish it in that government of the kingdom.

  305. In the word of God which is living and alive

  306. and able to do a mighty work. Are you with me

  307. this morning? I believe this is the year that

  308. God is going to change our confession from fear

  309. to faith. A powerful change. And faith that will

  310. release in what the Lord is showing me this year

  311. is something that I had forgotten a long time

  312. ago, but the Lord reminded me of it. Listen,

  313. when you begin to speak in faith and you begin

  314. to create an atmosphere of faith, do you know

  315. what you begin to become contagious with? A spirit

  316. of faith. How about if all of you began to move

  317. this year in a spirit of faith? Not in a spirit

  318. of fear. Not in a spirit of intimidation. Come

  319. on. Not in a spirit of unstable mind. Not in

  320. a spirit of begrudgment or bitterness or greed.

  321. Come on. Not in any of those spirits. How about

  322. if you begin to move in a spirit of faith and

  323. God's love and purpose and calling upon your

  324. life and that you're here to complete that course

  325. and he's here to establish and give you grace

  326. to do so. Come on, are you there? A spirit of

  327. faith. There's something that God is talking

  328. to me about all this year about creating and

  329. establishing in the realm of believers in your

  330. own life a spirit of faith. So no matter what

  331. comes, the first thing that it hits is your spirit

  332. of faith and it can't get through. And you begin

  333. to live and sustain your life and your family

  334. and your purpose by the spirit of faith. The

  335. spirit of faith, it's powerful. Do you know how

  336. powerful it is? Come on. You're here and we're

  337. here together 2 ,000 years after the church started.

  338. Do you know why? Because of the spirit of faith.

  339. Because when it got down to brass tacks and hard

  340. roads, when it seemed impossible, people rose

  341. up in the spirit of faith and said, our God is

  342. a mighty God and Jesus is building his church

  343. and it shall prevail. Come on, and nothing shall

  344. stop it. And the spirit of faith began to well

  345. up in people and they began to declare, come

  346. on, and prophesy and decree the word of God.

  347. And all of a sudden, things changed. Breakthrough

  348. came. An open space came. An abundance came to

  349. them. An ability to move forward. I'm telling

  350. you in this year, 2016, it's a hinge year in

  351. history. It's a transitional year. And God is

  352. calling you to rise up in the spirit of faith

  353. and begin to declare the word of God for yourself,

  354. your families, this nation, and the church this

  355. year so that we will not succumb to the wrong

  356. side of this transition. That's what God's doing

  357. this year. The spirit of faith. It's in us. It's

  358. who we are. We're people of faith. Hallelujah.

  359. Decree what is written and revealed in the word

  360. of God. Just get that in your mouth and begin

  361. to speak it. Hallelujah. Amen. Awaken the spirit

  362. of faith. Now, it's amazing that this psalm starts

  363. out kind of troubling. And then it starts out

  364. to being delightful because we hear the report

  365. that God intervened and answered the prayer.

  366. And he answered the prayer because this guy believed

  367. and therefore he spoke. And God came and intervened

  368. and brought him in a good place. And it says

  369. that his soul could return to rest because God

  370. had dealt bountifully with him. I want you to

  371. have a restful 2016 in your soul. That's your

  372. mind, your will, and your emotions. Have rest

  373. in 2016. Not tension. Not stress. Not overrun.

  374. Not overdone. Not freaked out. Not, you know,

  375. crazy. Just have rest as the Lord deals bountifully

  376. with you. You know why? Because now we're going

  377. to come to the next part of this psalm. Something

  378. that's very, very, very important to you and

  379. important to God. And it begins right here in

  380. verse 14. Actually, verse 12, I'll read it and

  381. lead into it. What shall I render to the Lord

  382. for all his benefits towards me? I will take

  383. up the cup of salvation and I will call upon

  384. the name of the Lord. Watch this. And I will

  385. pay my vows to the Lord now in the presence of

  386. all his people. That's repeated in verse 18.

  387. I will pay my vows to the Lord now in the presence

  388. of all his people. Why has God... delivered us.

  389. Why is he bringing you and me out this year?

  390. Why is he bringing bounty to us so much so that

  391. our soul can return to its rest? I'm going to

  392. tell you why. This is the year that God is reminding

  393. you to re -engage and complete your vows unto

  394. God. This is a year of tremendous opportunity

  395. where God is going to give you the ability to

  396. fulfill the vows that you've made to him. Listen,

  397. when you get busy and life comes on you, you

  398. know, you can forget the vow. You can even abandon

  399. it. It's true. You know the vows I'm talking

  400. about. When you're in a tough place, or maybe

  401. you're in a super spiritual place, maybe you're

  402. on the last whatever, or maybe you're in a high

  403. spiritual place. It doesn't matter, but you made

  404. a vow unto God. And I'm telling you what. God

  405. is so big and so merciful that he's going to

  406. give you room and time and ability to fulfill

  407. that vow. You're going to get to fulfill it.

  408. He's not going to get you to heaven. You're not

  409. going to say, well, God, I made this vow, but

  410. I never had a chance to get to it. No, he's going

  411. to say, I'm giving you room. This year I'm going

  412. to deal bountifully with your soul. Can you imagine

  413. Christendom worldwide? Could you imagine in this

  414. house alone if all of you rose up and began to

  415. re -engage the vow that you made to God and began

  416. to walk it out and fulfill it? The move of God,

  417. the power of God's presence in your life and

  418. the increased presence of the move of the Spirit

  419. in this city, in this place, in this house. Tremendous.

  420. Vows are important to God. I'm preaching today

  421. because of a vow I made to God. tough place when

  422. I was a gold -plated pagan cowboy team roping

  423. rodeo and crazy guy. It's a true story, man.

  424. True story. I had two friends. My horse was named

  425. Jack and I had another friend named Jack. Friends

  426. of mine. Some pastor came by my place one day

  427. in a little rural community that I lived in.

  428. They had church there once a month. He was a,

  429. you know, rotational guy. So nobody showed up

  430. Sunday to the service, so I thought I'd walk

  431. the neighborhood. So I was out there in the yard,

  432. me and Jack, big old mouthful of chew. Combing

  433. up my horse. Come on, I'm just telling you the

  434. truth. He walked up and took one look at me.

  435. I thought he was going to turn around and leave.

  436. But he decided to come on in. And he said, hey,

  437. I'm the local pastor. This is the church. And,

  438. you know, it would be nice if you could show

  439. up. Next month I'll be back. I said, okay, great.

  440. And he left. Do you know that that one little

  441. thing that he did. That simple contact woke me

  442. up, even though I didn't even know it. So he's

  443. walking out the driveway, and I'm thinking, wow,

  444. that was a man of God. That was pretty brave.

  445. And I was just kind of thinking like that, right?

  446. Guess what happened one week later? My son, who

  447. was less than a year old, the best I can remember

  448. it, Came down with a fever for some reason, and

  449. he went into fever convulsions. Went unconscious.

  450. Went into that whole thing, right? I'm 20 minutes,

  451. 30 minutes to the closest medical facility. So

  452. my wife and I get him in our car. Actually, my

  453. pickup. Cowboys don't drive cars. It's true.

  454. So I got him in my pickup. Man, I drove to town

  455. like I've never driven before. I should have

  456. been arrested 10 times, not just for speeding.

  457. I actually drove over stop signs across lanes,

  458. guardrails, through the grass. I didn't care.

  459. I had one place to get, and that was the hospital.

  460. So I blew in there, slammed on the brakes, got

  461. out, got my son in there. They looked him over.

  462. They shut the doors and wouldn't let us in. And

  463. then they come back out, and they had my wife

  464. come in for a minute. And then they come back

  465. out, and they said, he ain't going to make it.

  466. He's too far gone. That's what they told me.

  467. I'm like, that's impossible. You know what I

  468. did? I walked out to the lawn there in front

  469. of the hospital, and this is what I said. God,

  470. if you save my son, I will serve you all the

  471. days of my life, however you ask me to serve

  472. you. Come on. Well, you know what happened. They

  473. got this big old needle out, man, and they stuck

  474. it right in his heart and they gave him some

  475. kind of adrenaline shot or something, snapped

  476. him out of it, got him cooled off, and he's alive

  477. today. Amen. I can't tell you how many times

  478. I look at him and I said, God, you got to keep

  479. him alive if you want me to keep serving you.

  480. And he has. And my son was a little rough around

  481. the edges for a while. He's come out of it now.

  482. But when he was real, real rough, I'm saying,

  483. God, you got to keep him alive. Come on. And

  484. he did. But I'm paying my vow to God. And you

  485. have a vow. I know most of you, if not all of

  486. you, have a vow or two that you've made to God.

  487. And can I just tell you that if you do a biblical

  488. study on vows, God is so, so serious about you

  489. fulfilling that vow that it's almost like he'll

  490. do nearly anything for you so you can fulfill

  491. that vow. Come on. And he's going to hold you

  492. accountable on the other side if you don't. That's

  493. also a Bible. And so in this year of 2016, I

  494. want you to expect God to deal bountifully with

  495. you. How come? Because he wants you to fulfill

  496. your vow. That place where you found him. That

  497. place where you talked to him like we ought to

  498. be talking to him all the time. Out of the innermost

  499. depths of your being with sincerity and a desire

  500. that goes beyond, come on, what we normally would

  501. have in just a conversation or prayer. I mean

  502. when the depths of you contacted the depth of

  503. him and he answered you. And you made a bond

  504. and a commitment and a vow at that point. God

  505. says, I'm faithful and I'm coming to cause you

  506. and allow you and give you the ability to fulfill

  507. that vow or those vows unto me. 2016, it's going

  508. to begin. Get ready for God to deal abundantly

  509. with your soul so you can fulfill your vow. Isn't

  510. that awesome? God is so incredibly awesome. I'm

  511. just always amazed at him. Now I want to bring

  512. you down to this next emphasis here in Psalms

  513. 116 that the Lord has shown me about. It's in

  514. verse 19. In the courts of the Lord's house,

  515. in the midst of you, O Jerusalem, praise the

  516. Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalms 116 ends up with

  517. an emphasis on praise. My testimony to you before

  518. God is the last five or six years, God has given

  519. me a message. I have preached about it, written

  520. about it, wrote about it. exemplified it, done

  521. everything I possibly can to the churches I travel

  522. to all across America and all over the world

  523. to get them back to the understanding of the

  524. purpose and the power and the place of praise,

  525. corporately in the church and personally in your

  526. lives. The church... By and large, I'm not talking

  527. about this one. This one gets it. Hallelujah.

  528. But the church by and large that I travel across

  529. the United States and people's personal lives,

  530. they have lost the understanding and the power

  531. of praise. And this is a critical time for praise.

  532. Praise carries the breaker anointing. To break

  533. through. Praise carries the presence of the Lord.

  534. It carries the government of God. Praise carries

  535. the authority of God. Praise enthrones the Lord

  536. in the midst of you. Come on, his government,

  537. his kingdom. Praise is speaking the word of God

  538. and it activates the angelic realm to minister

  539. on your behalf. Praise is the reason the church

  540. has no power in many regards because they've

  541. lost the place and the power of praise. I can't

  542. tell you how many services I go to all across

  543. the United States, and bless their hearts, sincere

  544. and wonderful praise and worship leaders have

  545. no clue what they're doing. Zero. They got some

  546. song and some music and stuff going on. And the

  547. Lord opens my eyes to the realm of the Spirit.

  548. And I see them start to sing a praise song. Heaven

  549. lines up, gets ready to come, gets ready to invade,

  550. gets ready to shift the culture in them, in their

  551. community, in their surroundings. And sometimes

  552. God will use you to go into praise and intercession

  553. for some place you don't even know about, but

  554. he's going to use you to do it. Come on. But

  555. you just follow. And I see heaven open. I see

  556. this happen. And then I see this naive but probably

  557. sincere good worship person. take it right out

  558. of praise and go into some other place. Prematurely

  559. go into worship or go into what I call the I

  560. -I -Me -Me songs, the narcissistic self -styled

  561. worship songs that we sing about how much you...

  562. Well, anyway, I won't go there. Or songs about

  563. the... And then my eyes open up and heaven stops.

  564. Stops. And so here's the people that are doing

  565. everything that they know of and they wonder

  566. why God's presence isn't there. Why God isn't

  567. visiting them. It's because God has a protocol

  568. of when he comes. He's the king. He just doesn't

  569. show up because you feel a song that makes you

  570. feel good. You sing a song that makes you feel

  571. up. He shows up because you sing a song about

  572. him. That's why he shows up. And so I've got

  573. to be really careful because this is such a passion

  574. to me. I can get a little sharp on it. I can,

  575. but I've got to tell you that there needs to

  576. be a rebuke across the board, across the United

  577. States of America, to many people who are holding

  578. worship schools, who are teaching people how

  579. to do self -styled, narcissistic worship that

  580. draws attention to them and nothing to do with

  581. God. It's leaving the churches powerless. The

  582. church is becoming like the voice. Let me embody

  583. an emotion, and everybody will feel good, but

  584. where's God? Well, I don't know, but I feel good,

  585. don't you? No. God doesn't feel good. Well, anyway,

  586. I better see I can... I got to get off of that.

  587. But my point is... Praise. Praise, praise, praise.

  588. Praise, praise, praise, praise. It will bring

  589. the power and the presence of God to do what

  590. you can't do in a hundred years. He can do in

  591. a moment's time when he shows up. Because he

  592. indwells your praise. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  593. I think Ruth Heflin has it the best. I think

  594. she defined praise in the order, the protocol

  595. of praise the best. She says, praise until the

  596. Lord comes. And then worship him until the glory

  597. falls. And then stand and minister unto him in

  598. the glory. That's how it works, folks. It's that

  599. simple. People don't know how to get in the glory

  600. realm. It's because they go back and forth between

  601. praise and worship or up and down. Or they jump

  602. into worship and they don't even do praise. Or

  603. they try to go over in the glory and God's not

  604. even showed up yet. Come on, are you there? As

  605. people of faith and of the kingdom of God, we

  606. need to understand how God shows up. Okay, I

  607. got to quit. It's like, can I just say it? I

  608. feel this jealousy of God for us. He wants us.

  609. He's jealous for us. He wants to come and be

  610. in our midst. And he doesn't like it when somebody

  611. else steals the spotlight. Takes his glory. He

  612. won't give it to another. Amen. Young worship

  613. leaders have ears to hear. This next thing the

  614. Lord showed me out of the Psalms is something

  615. that I've been ministering actually for the last

  616. several years from since 2011. And I'll reveal

  617. that and show that to you today so you'll be

  618. able to understand. Psalms 116 is the sixth,

  619. number six branch of the menorah, of the hallelujah

  620. menorah. as it exists in Scripture in Psalms

  621. 111 through 117, which I believe relate to the

  622. year 2011 to 2017. This is what it looks like.

  623. Psalms 111, 112, and 113 begin with, guess what?

  624. Praise the Lord, or hallelujah, which means praise

  625. the Lord, right? indicating the first three branches

  626. of the menorah. If you look at Psalms 114, it

  627. neither ends with or begins with hallelujah.

  628. It's the lampstand. It's the branch. It's the

  629. Lord Jesus Christ. It's the lampstand that upholds

  630. the branches, right? And then if you look at

  631. Psalms 115, 116, and 117, they do not begin with

  632. praise the Lord. They end with praise the Lord,

  633. thus establishing the other three branches of

  634. the menorah. So we have been in a period of time

  635. from 2011 till present where God has been, through

  636. the Psalms and through these years, restoring,

  637. if you will, the fullness of the lampstand of

  638. God in the midst of his people, refilling and

  639. replenishing the lampstand in us as our high

  640. priest who has been tending the lampstands of

  641. the churches. Are you there? Is this too much

  642. for you? We need to understand what God's doing.

  643. This is a prophetic. This is in the realm of

  644. the Spirit what God's doing. Now, many of you

  645. may not be sensitive to that, but this is what

  646. God is doing in the realm of the Spirit because

  647. what happens in the realm of the Spirit comes

  648. into your life naturally where you're sitting

  649. and spiritually where you're sitting. And so

  650. prophetically, I'm telling you, when God opens

  651. these revelations and visions to me, this is

  652. what he shows me. So we're in this period of

  653. time where we're dealing with the sixth branch

  654. of the Hallelujah Menorah. And it's a pictographic,

  655. if you will, as I explained to you, arrangement

  656. of the Psalms that make a menorah. Do you see

  657. how it works? Come on, if you go to the far left,

  658. if you're looking here, it would be Psalms 111,

  659. Psalms 112, Psalms 113. They begin with praise

  660. the Lord, so they connect to the servant branch

  661. there, which is Psalms 114. Then you have the

  662. ones... 115, 116, and 117 that end with praise

  663. the Lord. So there is pictographically and in

  664. the Psalms, in your Bible, there is a menorah.

  665. And in the midst of that menorah, God is moving

  666. in these years as our high priest, as the one

  667. who tends the menorah, as the one who walks in

  668. the midst of the candlestands, as the one who

  669. is in the midst of us, he has been restoring

  670. the candlestand. He is candlestick. He has been

  671. restoring his light and revelation to the church

  672. because guess what? Somewhere back about 2009

  673. and 10, the priesthood stopped functioning to

  674. the degree to keep it lit. And so God steps in

  675. as Samuel did and begins to, through Jesus Christ,

  676. restore and refill the lampstand with the oil.

  677. Hallelujah. Now, What I want you to see here

  678. too is that Psalms 111, 112, 113, so forth and

  679. so on, the seven branched stem menorah, the six

  680. branches, the seven lamps of the menorah, if

  681. you look in Scripture, it's directly related

  682. to the Spirit of God and specifically to the

  683. seven spirits of God, Isaiah 11, 1 and 2, the

  684. spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit

  685. of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge.

  686. And the spirit of the fear of the Lord, the spirit

  687. of the Lord, the seven spirits of God. That's

  688. what it says in Isaiah 11 too. So when you say,

  689. God, fill me with your spirit, you're asking

  690. God to fill you with wisdom and understanding,

  691. counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of

  692. the Lord, the spirit of the Lord. Are you with

  693. me? And so what has God been doing from 2011

  694. forward to this time here where we're at the

  695. sixth, you know, the sixth branch, or I guess

  696. the sixth. Year, if you will. In 2011, he released

  697. the spirit of wisdom. In 2012, the spirit of

  698. understanding. In 2013, the spirit of counsel.

  699. And then we had the branch year, because Jesus

  700. is the branch, if you read it. Come on. It's

  701. the upholding branch. And then in 2015, last

  702. year, he released the spirit of might. And this

  703. year, he's releasing the spirit of knowledge.

  704. The spirit of knowledge. Hallelujah. This is

  705. the year when you say, God, fill me up with the

  706. spirit of knowledge. Why? Because the Bible has

  707. a lot to say about those who know the Lord. Not

  708. know about him, but know him. Know him personally,

  709. know him individually, know how he's going to

  710. react, what he's going to do, what he's going

  711. to stay in any given situation. Why? So we can

  712. walk with him. Come on. The Bible says that the

  713. children of Israel knew the acts of God, but

  714. Moses knew him. Right? Don't be one that just

  715. knows his actions. Be one who knows why he acts.

  716. That's what God wants us to know. That's that

  717. spirit of knowledge that God is releasing this

  718. year. You go, man, I've never heard of this before.

  719. What do I do about the past five years? Say,

  720. God, fill me up with your spirit. Get caught

  721. up. It's not too late. Right? Get your lampstand

  722. filled up with oil. Get yourself glowing and

  723. flowing. Get yourself illuminated. Are you there?

  724. Come on. Do you want God to be in your midst?

  725. He's not going to walk in the midst of you if

  726. you have no lampstand burning. Come on. Are you

  727. there? He's restoring this lampstand. It's a

  728. move of God. It's a mighty revival that's coming,

  729. a revival of revelation and of God visiting us

  730. and walking in the midst of us. Hallelujah. Let's

  731. go on. Let's go to the next slide. So we have

  732. the spirit of wisdom and understanding, counsel

  733. and might, so forth and so on. And then here

  734. we have the colors of the seven spirits of God.

  735. Now, I'm not going to go too much in this because

  736. I don't have time, but could I just tell you

  737. that the Bible says in Revelation 4 and 5 that

  738. there is a rainbow around the throne of God and

  739. the seven spirits of God. Spirits of God each

  740. have a color and a frequency. That might get

  741. some of you, but unless you're into quantum physics,

  742. you'll understand all this. God's creative order.

  743. But anyway, so this is what's been happening.

  744. And this may sound a little off to you, but this

  745. is my world, so you can take it or leave it.

  746. This doesn't bother me. But oftentimes I'm ministering

  747. to someone, and guess what I see over the top

  748. of them? A color. Guess what I understand? I

  749. know that one virtue of the Spirit of God is

  750. doing something specifically there. Come on.

  751. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

  752. What is that? Red is the spirit of wisdom. Orange,

  753. understanding. Yellow, counsel. Are you following

  754. me there? It's amazing what God's opening up

  755. in these days. Now listen, the New Agers used

  756. to have this a long time ago. You know what they

  757. called it? Gee, you have a funny looking aura.

  758. Now if I made you nervous, I'm sorry, but listen,

  759. this was God's first. They took it. So I'm taking

  760. it back and redeeming it. It's one of the popular

  761. things I'm doing with the body of Christ. Not.

  762. You can't believe how much trouble I get in.

  763. They go, you're a New Ager. I said, this was

  764. God's first. This is God's creative order, and

  765. this is what God did. The New Agers took it,

  766. and Christians are afraid to mess with it. I'm

  767. taking it back and redeeming it and restoring

  768. it to the body of Christ. It was theirs first

  769. and not them. And by the way, the New Agers don't

  770. have the Spirit of God to work it. Anyway, here

  771. we go. Let's go to the next slide if we can.

  772. Keep going. I won't get into all that. Hallelujah.

  773. See, there's the frequencies related to the color.

  774. Why does that matter? Because sound and light

  775. have a frequency. And in God's creative order,

  776. he always moves by a sound, a color, and a frequency.

  777. And it's so important in music. Ultra important

  778. in music. And if you do not understand the frequency

  779. and the sound that God is releasing, and if you

  780. go into another chord or another flow, you're

  781. going to miss what God's doing. Anyway, keep

  782. going. Here's Psalms 111. It's an alphabetical

  783. psalm. The 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

  784. perfectly in order, the way it's written. But

  785. if you look at verse 4, it has the dalat, which

  786. is the Hebrew word di. And I won't go into all

  787. this. I don't have time. But basically, God says,

  788. beginning in 2011 and forward, I'm going to open

  789. the door of understanding so you can know me

  790. and know why I do what I do so you can begin

  791. to do what I do with the same motivation. That

  792. began in 2011. That's the lampstand. Okay, go

  793. on one more. There's a solfeggio. Hallelujah.

  794. That's an amazing thing that you all have been

  795. taught from the sound of music. Do, re, mi, fa,

  796. sol, la, te. Right? And then the church added

  797. T, the seventh note, to the solfeggio. Did you

  798. know that? The church added the seventh note.

  799. Originally it was six. Do, re, mi, fa, sol, re.

  800. You get it? What is that? It's an amazing scale

  801. because... Back in the day, in the early church

  802. music, and even the Gregorian monks knew that

  803. this scale was the frequencies of God. They understood

  804. it. And they sang the frequencies of God. Isn't

  805. that amazing? 3 -9 -6, 4 -2 -8, 5 -2 -8. You

  806. see the 5 -2 -8 down there? Do, re, mi. In Latin,

  807. that's... Me, wrist, gestorum, that means this.

  808. It's the miracle frequency. And it is released

  809. at 528 hertz. It's released over you. Do you

  810. know what we found out? We found out that by

  811. biochemists, this is empirically proven, when

  812. you take ruptured DNA, damaged DNA, and you take

  813. it in verto, and you put it under this 528 frequency,

  814. within 24 hours it heals. Completely. You see,

  815. God knows stuff, doesn't he? The color of green

  816. is 528. Grass, trees, it's all 528. You go, well,

  817. how do you get the 528? You can't. You go, what

  818. do you mean you can't? Because in 1940, the entire

  819. world was detuned from 444 hertz of God's creative

  820. frequency down to 440. Get my books, get my CDs.

  821. I don't have time to talk to you about it at

  822. all. The world was purposely detuned by the Antichrist

  823. spirit to take away these frequencies so you'd

  824. begin to run out of energy, your mind would begin

  825. to be fatigued, your emotions would be stressed

  826. because everything now is broadcast under 444

  827. hertz, which means it hits the fight or flight

  828. receptor behind your ear and it causes you to

  829. live at a lower nature instead of the higher

  830. nature and frequency that God created us to live

  831. in. So I've been telling all the churches everywhere

  832. I go, retune your instruments to 444 hertz, and

  833. you'll begin to play these creative and restorative

  834. frequencies. Anything you're playing that's not

  835. 444 hertz, you're playing a detuned, lower nature,

  836. worldly sound. Amazing, isn't it? That's why

  837. God's so emphatic about praise, but we've got

  838. to get retuned in our praise. Now you can do

  839. your praise right out of your mouth, but our

  840. instruments need to be retuned. Are you there?

  841. All right, go on to the next one. I wasn't even

  842. figuring on doing that today. Hallelujah. So

  843. here it is. Here's the full menorah. Here's the

  844. colors. Here's everything happening. And this

  845. is what God's doing. He's restoring the power

  846. of praise. Do you know that in some circles,

  847. in high -level circles in our government, they

  848. know about the 444 hertz frequency? Do you know

  849. they play it? as a protective sound wall because

  850. nothing else can permeate it. You go, did I come

  851. to X -Files this morning or is this church? I'm

  852. just telling you, God gives me these revelations.

  853. Why? Because he wants to restore the church.

  854. He wants to restore the power and the purpose

  855. and the place of praise. He's tired of everything

  856. being stolen from him. And he's tired of us being

  857. afraid to take back which is ours. He's tired

  858. of us not having power. We're tired of not having

  859. power. So God's bringing these revelations. Why?

  860. So we can restore ourselves to proper place and

  861. position of praise. Are you with me? That's it.

  862. It's that simple. I don't have no agenda other

  863. than that. This is the revelation God gives me.

  864. Why? Because he wants restoration. That's what

  865. God does. I'm not trying to take you into some

  866. weird thing. I'm just trying to show you the

  867. truth. Are you there? Okay. Last thing. Psalms

  868. 116. It's an amazing, amazing thing. God said

  869. that after this psalm is complete in 2017 and

  870. he releases the spirit of the fear of the Lord,

  871. Then we're going to come into another seven -year

  872. period, beginning in 2018, where God is going

  873. to begin to spiritually begin to overlay on us

  874. the seven letters to the seven churches. And

  875. we're going to begin to walk out the overcomer's

  876. walk in the seven letters to the seven churches

  877. so that we come out overcomers and more than

  878. conquerors. So we have the right to eat the promises

  879. and do the promises. Are you there? God's going

  880. to bring us through that seven -year cycle. And

  881. why is he waiting in 2018? Because right now

  882. he's restoring the lampstand in you. He's restoring

  883. the lampstand in the church so he can walk in

  884. our midst because it's only as he walks in our

  885. midst is he able then to bring us into this place

  886. where we overcome. I hope that wasn't too much

  887. for this morning. But what I told you is true.

  888. And I'm not trying to be crazy. If I offended

  889. anybody, I'm sorry, but I'm just saying I'm a

  890. little edgy because... I'm a revivalist and a

  891. restorer, and so much has been stolen and taken

  892. from the church, and God wants you to have it

  893. back. So for this year, I just want to say a

  894. prayer over you, and then the elders or whatever

  895. are going to come. I want to pray that God deals

  896. bountifully with your soul. Amen? So you can

  897. rise up and fulfill your vows. I would just ask

  898. you this morning that you would take that vow,

  899. those vows that you made, and just bring them

  900. into your own remembrance, but bring them back

  901. up before God and say, God, I'm believing you

  902. this year to deal bountifully with my soul. I'm

  903. believing you to deal bountifully with me so

  904. that I can fulfill my vows to you. And then you

  905. watch what God does and be expected. Put his

  906. word in your mouth and begin to declare and decree

  907. his word prophetically over your life, the promises,

  908. the plans of God. Are you with me? Father, in

  909. Jesus' name, I pray over your saints this morning.

  910. I thank you, God, that you don't want us wondering

  911. or wondering what the future is. God, you give

  912. us glimpses and understanding. And God, I thank

  913. you that this year in 2016, irregardless of what

  914. happens, If there's a financial collapse, if

  915. there's a reset of currency, if there's an economic

  916. disaster, if there's a who knows what, God, it

  917. doesn't matter because this is the year we believe

  918. that you're going to deal bountifully with our

  919. soul. Bountifully with every area of our life.

  920. There's going to be a supernatural covering and

  921. release from you so we can rise up and fulfill

  922. our vows now, your word says. in the midst of

  923. the people so there'll be a witness and a testimony

  924. of your grace and your power so lord i pray great

  925. grace over your people that they can rise and

  926. fulfill your vows in jesus name hallelujah i

  927. bless them abundantly god and we say you're good

  928. and your mercy endures forever bless everything
