Sunday Message (Sunday 2nd) - Moses Vegh (June 25, 2006) | Life Bible Church

There's fresh provisions in the house of the

Lord. Amen? Amen. What a privilege it is and

an honor to have with us a mighty man of God.

How many were here at the presbytery meetings

in March? Amen. We got a chance to see Brother

Moses and hear the... richness of the word that

God has put in his heart. Brother Moses has been

to over 80 countries. He's an ambassador of the

kingdom of God. He's a father to many men of

God, many sons in the Lord. He's a prophetic

voice to nations and churches. We received a

phone call here a couple weeks ago. How many

know when God puts it on somebody else in a distant

way? We haven't had a lot of communication, but

just... Staying friends that when the Lord puts

somebody on your heart you ought to hear that

that you know God is working on your behalf That's

a good thing isn't encouraging it says that a

fit word brings healing and What a privilege

it was I was studying the word and got a wonderful

call from brother Moses He said the Lord had

put something very strong on his heart for this

house and for me and Jenny and it was burning

and in him and I just was thrilled to be able

to have a date open just to get him up here and

to release it So would you do what we normally

do as we welcome the servant of the Lord? Would

you just please just honor the man of God as

he comes? Thank you. Thank you very much. You

may be seated. What an awesome God we have. Isn't

it wonderful that the people of Life Bible Church

with a sense of destiny and uncontrollable boldness.

Amen. Living in the Word of God. Those of you

that have received the Lord Jesus Christ, you

live in the unrestrainable power of the Holy

Ghost. Becoming an irresistible force. See, God's

doing something. He's doing something awesome.

He's not just building big churches. He's building

big people. And that takes a whole lot of doing

to turn a congregation into the church. I don't

know if you've been aware of that or not, but

how many know there's been some changes going

on in your life? Amen. Well, get ready because

there's more coming. Praise God. And those of

you that have been transferred into another kingdom

where we operate as citizens, we're not strangers.

We're not aliens. We're citizens. We're ambassadors.

We're militia. We belong to the glorious kingdom

of Christ. The apostle Paul said the Father has

drawn us to himself out of the control and the

dominion of darkness. And has transferred us

into the kingdom of his son. Of his love. Peter

says we've been born anew. We're a brand new

creation. Amen. I thought our pastor had a whole

new revelation on the communion service. Isn't

it amazing how we are victims of habit? That

it confounds you when he. Serve the cup first.

I thought I'd missed something all these years.

I was looking for a new revelation. But I'm learning.

I'm open. Praise God. Wasn't it wonderful? The

efficacy of the blood. Peter said we have been

born anew. Into an inheritance which is beyond

the reach of change and decay. Imperishable,

unsullied, unfading. An inheritance that's reserved

in heaven for you. You who are guarded by God's

power through faith until you fully inherit that

final salvation that is ready to be revealed.

to be revealed for you in the last times. Now

that's in the Amplified text. I like the Amplified

when it agrees with my doctrine. But this morning,

I just want to say to the church again, thank

you for having me, allowing me to be here. Thank

you for your kindness, the great hospitality

of this family, these precious folks. It was

so good to be with Pastor and his wife last night.

Of course, with his mom, who's one of the prime

cooks in the whole world. It's just a gastronomical

nightmare. Wonderful. And fellowship of these

folks, this has been great. I'm going away enriched

because you see in this whole business, When

the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome,

he said, I have never seen you, but I long to

see you. I want to see you, and I'm coming to

you. I'm coming with the intent of making a deposit.

He said, I want to impart something to you. Romans

1 .11, I want to impart unto you some spiritual

gift that through this impartation, we might

be mutually refreshed. Your faith and mine. So

what Paul was saying is, I have a very selfish

reason for coming. And that is that I may be

blessed because you're being blessed. And that's

the way God fixed this thing. He ordered it that

way. It's not no one way street. It's reciprocal.

Amen? And when we come together, whether we're

aware of it or not, we're making an exchange.

We're communicating. We're cross -pollinating.

And we're learning and we're receiving life and

strength from the very fact that we're here in

the body together. Where Paul said we're no longer

strangers. We're not aliens. But we are fellow

citizens and heirs together of the grace of God.

And we're members of a body. He says of which

body is built upon. A firm foundation of the

apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ himself

being the chief cornerstone. In whom also you

are fitly joined together. You're interspersed.

You are interlocked. You are knit. That's one

term. We are bound in another way. We are tied

together. We are interrelated. We're interdependent.

Isn't that marvelous? And he says we're built

upon this foundation of apostles and prophets

with Jesus Christ himself, the chief cornerstone,

in whom the whole body fitly joined together

groweth. Say groweth. That means it makes increase

of itself. It's multiplying constantly. Just

like your physical body is renewing itself every

day. The outward man perishes. The inward man

is renewed every day. But the outward man is

also being renewed. All these vital billions

of cells are being renewed every day. And we

are a new person every seven years. It's a mystery.

We can't explain that, but it's a mystery. But

in the body of Christ, which we're related to

so beautifully, God uses that analogy, doesn't

he? But he has another analogy. And in the Bible,

we have at least 70 different definitions for

the church. We're called the born -again assembly.

We're called the assembly of the firstborn. We're

called the church, the ecclesia. We are called

the body of Christ. We are called... The bride

of Christ with combat boots on? We are all these

different definitions of the body of Christ.

But we are the body. But we are the bride of

Christ. And how much more intimate could God

be than to call us the bride? And that is our

designation. And his purpose is that he might

produce through us a great and awesome offspring.

In other words, God's business is to produce

and reproduce. And so in Isaiah chapter 49, I

Isaiah 49 · chapter mention

gave the church this this morning. And real quickly,

I want to give it to you so you can study it

at home. But in verses 13 through 40, sorry,

13 through 17 in chapter 49, he's talking to

his church again. Zion says, he says to the church,

sing. Come on, get singing. Isn't it interesting?

In James chapter five, he said, if you're afflicted,

you pray. Have you ever remembered that? Okay.

All right. He said, then after you pray, you're

supposed to sing. Come on. You say, I don't want

to pray. Well, suffer. I don't feel like singing.

Well, suffer. After you suffered a while, you

want prayer. And you won't probably want to pray

for yourself anymore. You'll want your elders

to come. That's the third phase. It's all in

there. It's in your Bible. James 5, 16 tells

us that. All right, now, what he's saying is

this. When you're being buffeted by the devil,

God wants you to pray. Don't call Tulsa. You

pray. It's okay to call Tulsa after you pray,

but you pray. And then, When you get prayed through,

you're going to sing as a song comes. That's

a healing thing in itself. People are just beginning

to realize the awesome power of singing in joy.

We don't really know this, but it's awesome.

It's awesome. Do you know when you are full of

the Holy Ghost and you pray in heavenly language?

I've got plenty of time now that I don't have

another meeting until six. And that's way over

somewhere. But anyway. Listen to me. I want you

to get this because when you pray in the spirit,

you are building up yourself in the most holy

ghost, in the holy faith, the most holy faith,

in the holy ghost. Now, what does that mean?

Physically, practically, when you pray in tongues,

there's a part of your brain that's been scientifically

proven that is releasing dopamines and serotonin.

And all of these marvelous neurotransmitters

that build your immune system. Someday you're

going to wake up and get it all in the last gulp.

Like the guy who never stirred the sugar in his

tea. We're going to wake up in glory and say,

oh my God. Yeah. I read in the book of Revelation.

two places where the Father wipes away our tears.

And I cried to the Lord about this. I said, God,

what is this? We're in heaven. We've made it.

Thank God we've made it. We're there. Now why

cry when you're already there? Could it be that

when we see all the untapped resources, when

we see the warehouses full of packages that we

never received, Because we didn't leave a forwarding

address? Could it be that when we get there and

we see all the gifts of the Spirit that were

freely given to us that we never utilized? Could

it be we think of all the suffering we went through

needlessly when all we'd have to do was draw

on our resources? Could it be we never learned

how to write a check? On our joint account with

Jesus? Did you know you had one? Could it be?

I'm giving you a little bit of a teaser here,

but think about it. Please. A little bit of faith

will get you to heaven, but a whole lot more

faith will bring heaven to you. Amen. And so

this morning, I want to talk to you from my heart

because I'm closing this. We're giving, this

is a progressive dinner. We've had two servings

already, and today and now we're going to kind

of culminate it all together, okay? We've been

teasing you a little bit and giving you samples

of everything that's on the table, but right

now we're going to move right on in, and we're

going to have a feast in the Word of God. Isaiah

Isaiah 54 · chapter mention

chapter 54 is our text, our departure. But before

we go to 54, 49 comes before 54. And that's the

word the Lord gave for this church. He said,

Zion says the Lord's forsaken me. Somebody here

this morning needs to hear this. God has not

written you off. He has your number. He knows

all about your situation. And you've been crying

out to the Lord. And God says, Zion says the

Lord has forsaken me. He's already told her to

sing. And she said, how can I sing when I feel

like God's forgotten me? Well, God said, I cannot

forget you. For the simple fact is I have you

engraved on the palms of both of my hands. Anything

I touch, everything I go after, everything I

want to do with my hands, I see you there. Not

like you are, but like you're going to be. You

see, God's got your finished picture on his hands.

He's making us into the image of his son. Now

here's what he says to this church that has lacked

that vision. He said, I am going to do a new

thing among you. He said, your builders are coming

and your children. Now notice that carefully.

The Hebrew word for builders and building material

and children is the same word. Those little brats

are not brats. They're blocks. Sometimes you

really think they are. Come on. They are part

of the building process of God. Your builders

come and your children, says the Lord, and your

destroyers, those who would tear down, those

who would destroy, those who would tear apart.

Come on, folks. The church of Jesus Christ has

suffered. immensely from our own members eating

up one another. The Bible said if we bite and

devour one another, we're going to be destroyed.

We'll be consumed of one another. And God said,

I'll take the destroyers out from among you.

I'm going to give you builders. I'm going to

give you builders and brand new babies. I'm going

to birth something in this body. That's your

promise. Get a hold of it. And he said, you will

see the increase of God and you will adorn yourself

with these new people like a bride adorns herself

with ornaments. Wow. Are you hearing anything

in this at all? Is there anything resonating

with your spirit now? We're standing on the threshold

of enlargement. A time for enlargement has come.

And after chapter... 49, you go to 53, and you'll

see the sufferings of Christ. But I don't want

to stop there because it's already finished.

And you go to chapter 54, verse 1. And he said,

sing. First word after Calvary. The first word

after his resurrection. The first word is sing.

Oh, barren, sing. Hallelujah. And cry aloud.

Thou that did not travail. with child for more

of the children of the desolate than the children

of the married wife, says the Lord. Enlarge the

place of your tent and let them stretch forth

thy curtains or the curtains of thy habitations

and spare not, say spare not. Now listen, I'm

talking about extravagant enlargement. I'm not

just talking about some little addition you're

putting on. I'm talking about extravagant enlargement.

We are so confined to our own limitations, our

self -imposed limitations. Whether you're thinking

of yourself in the material world or in the professional

world or in your domestic life or in your family

life, whatever it is, many times our own evaluations

of our abilities are very limited. And many times

we are fenced in. You remember that old song,

don't fence me in? Give me room, lots of room,

or land, lots of land. What is that talking about?

It's the cry of every heart. I need enlargement.

I need expansion. I need some breathing room.

I don't want to be suffocated where I'm at. I

don't want to be a victim of my own self -imposed

limitations. And he's talking to the bride now.

In the 53rd chapter, the first verse, he says,

who has believed the report of the Lord, or to

whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? The

Hebrew word there is very powerful because it's

a feminine word, and it literally says, who is

she? Who is she that believes the report of her

husband? Or in the Hebrew, it even goes clearer,

who is she that says, amen? To the report of

her husband. There's a response that God's calling

for from the church here this morning. God wants

to hear it from your heart. God wants you to

embrace that word that he gives you today. And

he wants every one of you as the bride of Christ

to say, yes, Lord. Amen, Lord. I believe your

report. Your word is powerful. Amen. No matter

what hell says, I believe what Jesus says. Now

he says, if you believe that, start singing and

knitting booties because you're pregnant and

you're going to bust out on the right hand and

on the left hand. And he said, I'm going to bring

enlargement because the winds of God are already

blowing and a great shaking is going on. The

Lord said, when the Lord builds up Zion, then

shall he appear. and his glory. There is an attendant

glory that comes with enlargement. Listen to

what I'm telling you. I'm speaking to you prophetically

now. There's an attendant glory that's reserved

for times of enlargement. I know when God called

us in Ohio to enlarge our borders, and Carla,

you're here today, one of our that came in and

found us in the Yellow Pages. Would you believe

that? Isn't that amazing? She lives out here

now and found out I'm preaching, so she's here.

Thank you, Carla, for coming. But in those days

in Ohio, we came to an impasse. And we were having

awesome meetings. The place was packed out in

our little church, but we needed to grow. We

needed to expand. So I got together with my brother,

and we all prayed, praying, fasting, praying.

And we found a piece of property and it looked

just perfect. You know, it looked like, I mean,

it was something we thought was great. You see,

what you think is great is not always great.

I found that out. But a lot of times, you know,

I'm going to say this to you. Somebody needs

to hear this. Sometimes good can become the enemy

of best. So there I was thinking, this is good.

Because all of my elders agreed on it. I thought,

that's good. That's a miracle. So we agreed.

And so I went to buy the piece of property. I

went to talk to the man about it. And we sat

down in his front room and he had the papers

all there. And I said, okay. And I said, fine,

this is the price. We'll buy the land. And we

thought, man, seven acres, that's a huge piece

of land. And we'll have, you know, we'll expand,

we'll build and all that. And I'm sitting there

and I think, if I remember correctly, I signed

my part. you know, on the paper and we're talking

away just back and forth. And all of a sudden

he looked at me real weird and strange. He said,

you know what? I'm sick. I need to go to the

bathroom. I said, well, go ahead, man. It's fine.

Don't worry about it. I'll come back tomorrow

and we'll finish this up. Okay. Well, he went

to the bathroom and he died. And that was the

end of the deal because now the whole land was

in probate. He never signed the paper. Do you

understand? Bang, the door was shut right in

my face, and I was upset. I went home discouraged,

and I told my wife, I said, I don't know what

God's trying to do here. I mean, this thing was

in the bag. I'm going to ask you a question.

How many of you folks, don't raise your hands,

please, have ever prayed a prayer and are really

glad the Lord didn't answer? Just nudge your

wife beside you and say, thank God, honey. Ha!

Come on. And I sat there. This is ridiculous.

I went home and I was beat. My wife looked at

me and said, what's the matter with you? I said,

honey, and the door just slammed right in my

face. I said, this guy died. And he didn't sign.

All he had to do was sign that. If I let him

sign first, and then I'd have signed. You know,

I'm rationalizing all this stuff. How many of

you have ever rationalized stuff? Okay, but God's

fixing to do something awesome. And all of a

sudden, out of that experience, my wife looked

at me and said, come on, honey, God's got something

better. And she's an amazing lady. I've been

tracking with her for about 60 years now. We've

been married 53. But we were good friends from

the beginning. She's my very first girlfriend.

She's still my very best friend in all the world.

And we've been out driving all over the country

trying to find a place, you know, with them looking

around. And I teased her about this old junky

old place that I saw on the corner of this property

on Main Street. And we drove up by there and

I teased her. I said, honey, what do you think

about that, you know? We'd already committed

our brand new parsonage. We'd just give it. We

give it to the new building fund. We thought

this was going to be it, you know. God knew that.

And I said, how about if we get this old place

right here? And I just teased him. I wasn't serious.

But a lot of times you're spiritual and you don't

know it. You're prophesying. You don't have no

idea. Caiaphas was that way. He prophesied because

he was a high priest. And he had no other reason.

And so. He was certainly a bad man. He wanted

to crucify Jesus, but he couldn't help himself

when he'd come to prophesy. Anyhow, my wife said

to me, she said, God's got a red place. And we'd

looked at all this area out here, and I felt

constrained to call my friend who lived near

there. And I said, would you sell us a piece

of your land? He said, no, I'm not going to sell

any land. I don't have any land for sale. Oh,

boy, that's a dead end. But before I hung up,

I said, by the way, there's a reason I called

you. Do you know anybody else? And he said, oh,

yeah, that old house there at the corner. Old

Lady Sherwood lives in there. And I said, what?

Ain't nobody live in that house. There's squirrels

running through the windows, and the grass is

broken. Curtains are flopping in the breeze,

and there's nobody there. Oh, yeah, I said, she's

living in there. She's in there. She's an old

recluse. And I thought, oh, God. And the Holy

Ghost spoke to me. He said, go now. Don't wait.

So I hung up the phone, got in my car, drove

over there, and I walked in. I didn't even knock.

Thank God I didn't because I'd never probably

never got in. But anyhow, I got in. I just walked

in. And when I walked in there, there was this

old lady laying on the couch. She had grown into

this couch. The house was filthy. It was horrible.

I'm talking about dead animals on the floor.

I'm talking about a groundhog that was months

old. And it was laying there dried up like an

old piece of... And I looked at this woman and

she's laying in this couch and she had this radio

on her bosom, just an old fashioned old wooden

radio. And she's laying under this thing and

she's like she's dead. I mean, she didn't move.

And she tried to put her makeup on, but it was

all over her face. She looked like a clown. I

looked around the house, immediately took a census

of what's going on here and the filth and the

garbage and the fire. Her pillow had been on

fire and she had put the fire out with a coffee,

out of her coffee pot and was just like awful.

And she's laying there. And I thought, oh my

God, she's dead. And I found this corpse here

in this house. What am I going to say? And she

didn't move. And she's almost blind. She's 83.

And she had a broken neck, broken hip, had her

arm broken. She'd been falling all over the place.

And here she was laying there. And when I spoke,

I said, hey, are you alive? And she said, oh,

oh, Pastor Vae. And I felt the anointing go all

over me. This little lady knew all about me because

she'd been saved through our radio ministry.

She says, I've been waiting for you. Long story

made short. It's a great story. I won't tell

you all about it. It's awesome. But within seven

weeks, she didn't sell us that property. She

had 25 acres on Main Street. And she said, I've

been holding this bean patch just for you. And

she said, this is Betty's house. And I want Betty

to move into this house. And I am going to be

part of your family. She knew all my kids. She

knew their names. She listened to me on the radio

every day. And I talked about my family all the

time. Are you going to sell it to us? She says,

no. I said, oh, God. She says, I'm not going

to sell it to you. I'm going to give it to you.

I said, oh, God. Enlargement. Enlargement. Seven

weeks from the time we got connected with her,

we had the property in our name. She had her

attorneys already signed it, had it all made.

And the property was in our name. Financing arranged.

contractor that we had raised in our church and

he'd gone to Michigan. He'd come back home to

build us the church and everything came together.

In seven weeks, we broke ground and we were on

our way to a new building. I'm talking about

enlargement. I'm talking about when God says

something to you. I'm talking about when God

closes one door, he opens another door. How many

know he always does? Okay. How many know when

God closes one door? You open it. But sometimes

it's hell in the hallway. Have you been there?

You understand what I'm talking about? Amen.

He closed this door and then this one's not opening.

You're groping in the dark and trying to find

the doorknob. Come on. But you know he's going

to open it. Amen. He's faithful. Well, that's

my primer. Hallelujah. So the rest of it is history

because from there we went from glory to glory.

We saw the goodness of God. We saw the Lord adding.

We saw the Lord multiplying. We saw the Lord

supplying. But he says to the church, listen

to me, we're talking about new commitment now.

We're talking about pulling up stakes. We're

talking about pulling up stakes. If you're going

to enlarge your tent, you can't leave your stakes

where they are. You're going to have to not only

enlarge your territory, but you're going to have

to be ready for new stakes. You're going to have

to be ready for new people that God's going to

plant into this enlargement. Amen? And some of

these will be big, powerful stakes that'll be

supporting stakes that'll hold up the main structure,

and there'll be other stakes that'll be little

stakes that'll be seemingly non -significant,

but every member of the body of Christ is significant.

God, our awesome God, is an awesome God, and

all of his kids are awesomeites. And our God

is incapable of producing even one insignificant

child. And no matter where you come from, you're

significant. You belong, and you're to be placed

and planted. And if you can stand the pull, God

will tie you up to something that's going to

hold together, and it's going to be called the

church of the living God. Amen? This church is

poised for production, poised for enlargement.

And God said, I'm going to take away from you

the shame of barrenness. Now he's talking to

his bride and I'm not talking to Mary Magdalene.

The devil's doing everything he can at this critical

moment in the timing of God to discredit the

person of Jesus and to discredit his church and

his bride. But God protects his church and his

bride. And he's jealous for his bride. And he's

not going to let Da Vinci or anybody else tear

it up. He's got a glorious church. And this church

is pregnant. And this church is making increase

of itself. over the world. We've been in China

where they had shut it down for years. There

were no religion in China for years, for 50 years.

It was obliterated. You couldn't even find a

denomination in that country. But God raised

up a glorious church, and there are hundreds

of thousands, yes, of millions now who are serving

Jesus in China and they're growing at about 35

,000 every day, every day, every day are being

born into the kingdom of God. Tell me something.

Amen. The Chinese government, they used to hunt

us up and down the country and we always snuck

through their lines and God took us in the back

door and in the underground churches and Dennis

Balcom, our dear friend. who for so many years

has been over there and have been in prison and

beat up and kicked out of the country and barred

out of the country. They have recently invited

him back. And I want to tell you something. This

guy was given permanent residence in China. He

has a passport. He has a residence. And not only

that, he's been given access to every three -self

church in China. And they asked Dennis to help

them build a church on the Olympic grounds for

2000. And that church is right now under construction,

and they want Dennis to be the pastor of that

church. They don't know anybody that knows more

about China than Dennis does. This is the kind

of thing that's going on right now. We're going

to break forth. It's time to enlarge our tent.

It's time to enlarge our vision. I told the church

earlier, we've been spending so much time on

brain dead. Trying to do it like grandpa did

it or like somebody else suggested we do it.

It's time to get a clear, concise word from God.

I told the church this morning, when the horse

is dead, it's time to dismount. Amen. Get off

of that thing. Quit beating a dead horse. Get

on with the plan and purpose of God in your life

and quit looking backwards, folks. God says don't

even consider the former things. I'm coming into

your midst to do a new thing. Now it shall spring

forth. Hallelujah. Are you going to see it? All

three of you. Are you going to see it? All four

of you. Are you going to see it? Hallelujah.

Praise God. I don't get excited too much like

this, but it feels good. God said, you're going

to see me pulling up stakes. Now listen to me.

Enlargement means discomfort. Amen. How many

know the Holy Ghost is our comforter? How many

know he's our discomforter? Yes, he is. He really

is. And I've had occasions when he discomforted

me. And he gets you into a situation where you're

not comfortable in your situation. And you're

feeling aggravated. You feel somewhat pressed.

You feel somewhat oppressed. And the Lord creates

situations for you to get you out of that rut.

Amen. That rut you're in is just a grave with

the ends knocked out. Amen. And God has not called

us into that kind of bondage, but he's giving

us a fresh revelation of his glory. He's coming

among us. He's coming to stretch us. He's coming

to move us. He's coming to relocate us. He's

coming to take us out of our comfort zone. Where

we've been happy just sitting here, paying our

tithes, clapping our hands, shouting a little

bit, and going home and doing our thing. But

we've got a commission. Every one of you are

to be birthers. You are to be people that will

disciple others. Amen. I was just with my son,

Marcus, over in Post Falls, Idaho. And I'll tell

you, I'm amazed. It's the most incredible, well

-kept secret in America. This church that grew

out of four people about seven years ago is now

averaging 6 ,500 every week in five services.

Every week in Post Falls and more. At Easter,

they had almost 10 ,000 people in their services

over the Easter weekend. And the whole town is

only 10 ,000 people. Now, what I'm telling you

is happening. Why? Because this church has a

dynamic vision, not just to get people to come

to a building, but they are discipling these

people. Every one of these people, in fact. Almost

all of these people, over 6 ,100 of these people,

the last count, are joined to a family small

group that are being discipled every week in

the word of God and being taught how to disciple

others. That's their whole vision. Their whole

message is to disciple people and get them into

the kingdom. And the pastor came out of obscurity.

Nobody knew about this guy. You hardly heard

it. I never heard his name before. And he has

one of the most awesome churches in all the world

that I know of that's growing so rapidly. They

increased 247 % last year, over this past year.

And they're expanding so rapidly. And there again,

they thought they had a plan. And I love this.

And they thought it was all done. So they prayed

and shot God. And this guy is such an incredible

pastor. So humble. He drives an old beat -up

pickup truck with a cowboy boots on in the back

and a water jug. And he looked like an old prospector.

He's not old. He's not even 40. But he was saved

out of the pit. He was saved out of the pit.

I mean, this guy was into drugs and alcohol and

bound by the devil, but God set him free. You

see, God's taken those kind of rejects and people

that we think are incorrigible, and he's making

them into awesome, awesome, awesome, mighty,

powerful men of God. And he's so humble. He got

up there. I happened to be there when he recounted

the past seven years. And he's sitting there

and just shaking. He said, you know, folks, I

don't know what I'm doing. He said, I have no

idea. I didn't know how to do this. Don't blame

me. It's your fault. You brought all these people

here. And you got them saved. And I baptize them.

And I teach them. But he said, you go out and

get a whole bunch more. And there he is. The

place is jammed to the doors. You can't get in.

They're from everywhere. And they're ministering

to the community and starting outreach works.

And he don't even know. what's going on. Isn't

it awesome? There's one translation of Matthew

5 .1, I think it is, that I read, blessed are

they who don't know too much. We are so smart.

We've got all these points. Some of these guys

are porcupine preachers. They got so many points.

I've been around. I'm not very old, but I got

a lot of miles on me. But I'm going to tell you

something. God's doing a new thing. He's breaking

out of our old molds. And he says to Zion, wake

up. I finished it all on the cross. Everything

you need is done. It's finished. You don't have

to go back to the cross anymore. Don't you crucify

Jesus anymore. He's dead once and he's risen.

He is no more dead. He's alive. He said, I'm

alive forevermore and I have the keys. I've got

the keys. I've got the keys to men's hearts.

I've got the keys to wombs. I've got the keys

to homes. I've got the keys to king's hearts.

I know how to get into those places. Trust me.

Just walk with me. and I'll take you there. Oh,

it's so exciting to walk with Jesus. I love it.

I get up in the morning. Where are we going today,

Father? Hallelujah. I don't have an agenda. I'm

in an area called sanctified I don't cares. Because

any way God moves me from here on is a promotion.

It doesn't matter to me. It don't matter whether

I'm in Africa. I've got lots of calls there or

China where we're called there. We're called

a lot of places. But I pulled the plug and said,

Lord, you just move me wherever you want me to

go. Hell, my bag is packed here. I'm ready to

go. I'll be ready in five minutes. And I got

my passport. And thank God I got a credit card.

And we'll go anywhere you want me to go. Now,

let me say this to you. This is not being foolish.

I'm telling you, we're getting ready to get moving.

And when God's moving us, you better get ready

to be pulled out of your comfort zone. And God's

going to jerk you out. Now, he's not just going

to just jerk you out of where you were just to

be playing games. No, what he's doing is inspecting

you. Listen to me. He's inspecting every stake

to see if you can. stand the pull because now

strength has to come before length. And in order

for some of our stakes to be strong, they have

to be shaved down a little bit and they have

to be shaped and they have to get the point.

And the Lord showed me this really, that he was

binding some of the heads of these stakes with

steel. You know why? Because he's going to put

the hammer to you. And you're not going to go

down in that new territory as easy as you did

before. You're going in a new territory and it's

hard ground. And God said, I'm going to sharpen

you and I'm going to bind you up good so I don't

split you when I whack you in place. Doesn't

that sound exciting? Suck it to me, Jesus. Hallelujah.

Amen. And he said, I'm going to give you. I'm

going to give you strength. I'm going to give

you strong men and women. And let me say this,

not only men, but women too, because some of

God's greatest men are women. All four of you,

believe that. You ladies missed an awesome opportunity

to shout hallelujah. That was a man that shouted

that. What's the matter with you people? Amen.

Hallelujah. Strength. And then length. Then lengthen

your cords. And I saw this and I told the pastors,

I stood in his study last night and on the map,

or in the, whatever that is, the boardroom or

wherever it was, up high in heavenly places.

And I'm looking at this map and I saw this territory

and this church right in the middle of it. And

God's going to cause these cords to go out. all

across here. And you watch and see in the next

30 to 60, 90 days, we're going to see connections

made with this pastor that he never, ever had

before. And it's going to blow you away because

the body here needs some kind of supplement that

you're not getting quite yet. And God's getting

you ready for expansion and growth. And there's

going to be an infusion of supplemental faith

and strength that's going to come to you, brother,

from men that you don't even know today. connect

with you, and they're going to be tied to you,

but you're going to have to have strong stakes

because some of these guys got quite a bit of

pull. God seldom puts a one -ulser man in a three

-ulser job. See, God knows your limitation. He

don't put eight tons on a half -ton pickup. He's

not coming to crush you, but he will enlarge

you and he will add to you and he will strengthen

you. And there's going to be strength and there's

going to be an explosion of spiritual multiplication.

Amen. This dear man of God in Post Falls that

I'm telling you about was ready to build. They're

ready to just build. And they prayed a whole

year. And my son happens to be an elder. My son

right now is in the process of coming through

a very fiery trial. He's had cancer of the throat.

The devil tried to choke him, kill him. And the

doctors give him two or three months to live,

but he's alive, gaining strength every day. He's

got a vision to reach the world that's awesome.

And he talked to him last night, yesterday, and

he said, Dad, I'm feeling great. Every day I'm

getting stronger. My voice is coming back. I'm

strong, and I'm going for it. And I haven't got

time. But this young man, this is my son. He's

one of my arrows that go a lot further than I've

ever gone. Amen. And God's given him an awesome

vision. I said, Mark, that's God. Stay with it.

I'll do everything I can to back you in it. But

he said to me, Dad, he says, the pastor asked

me to travel with him. Before he was diagnosed

with his cancer, just. two three months ago they

made a round of all the big churches in the country

major ones and several of them and the pastor

took his eldership along with them to show them

these places to see what the kind of building

they're going to build and so they had this property

by their building by where they are now in kind

of a remote area in post falls off the main track

But the pastor is trying to be conservative,

and he's thinking, you know, we've got enough

land here we can add on, and we can do this,

and we can do that, and we can shift around,

and we'll make it. See, good sounds good, doesn't

it? When you hear good, it sounds good. But sometimes

good is the enemy of best. And so my son's riding

along with him, and he's very prophetic. I don't

know where he's getting from his mother, I guess,

but anyway. He's sitting by the pastor in a plane,

and while he's sitting there, the Lord gave him

a vision. And he had this vision, and he saw

the pastor driving in a pickup truck with another

man, a stranger. I don't know this guy. He said,

but you're going to be, when you get home, this

is going to happen. Well, the pastor's really

not into the gifts of the Spirit that much. He's

coming. But he already told Mark he's kind of

down on prophecy because he's seen some flaky

things happen on television. I don't blame him,

some of this stuff. But don't count that as the

final word on it, folks. God has the genuine

article. Amen? Right. So anyhow, he'd already

told my son. So my son was a little reluctant

to talk to him, but he had this vision. And he

saw this man in a pickup truck. And this man

driving along started weeping and crying while

the pastor's talking to him about their new project

that they want to build. And Marcus is seeing

this in the vision. And when they get to the

airport in Dallas to change planes, Mark goes

over and he doesn't want to tell the pastor.

He goes over and tells the other elders. Now,

I happened to hear that pastor telling his version

of this. And he said, I saw this elder. He didn't

mention Mark's name. I was sitting right by him.

But he said this one elder kind of walked over

to these other elders and started talking to

them. And I felt like maybe they're conspiring

against me. He laughed. But, you know, them thoughts

do cross the pastor's mind occasionally. And,

you know, I've been there. And so he said. I

looked over there and they're all, man, they're

all into this thing. And this elder was animated

and he was telling them something. And so I finally

walked over and he said, what's going on here?

So they turned around and said, pastor, you got

to hear this. Man, this is powerful. And he said,

oh no, please. Oh, God, no, I don't want to go

there. I don't want to talk about any other project.

We got our land, buy our church. We got enough

there to do it now, and it'll be good. It's good.

It's good. It's good. Don't bother me. We've

already got the plans. We've already prayed.

Well, pastor, please, would you just pray two

more weeks? No, two more weeks. We've already

prayed a year. He's telling this. I'm sitting

there. And I said, uh -huh. What are we going

to do? He said, just give us two weeks, Pastor.

He said, well, okay. I'm going to do it anyhow.

I know what we're going to do. So we just have

to put it off for two more weeks. Within 72 hours.

He gets a phone call from this stranger. The

guy had come into the church two weeks before

or so and got saved. The pastor didn't know.

I mean, there's hundreds and hundreds of people

getting saved, so he didn't know this guy. He

didn't know anything about him. He asked the

pastor if he'd like to go for a ride with him

in his pickup truck. Took him on his pickup truck

and started driving out towards the main highway,

which is on the main route between Coeur d 'Alene

and Spokane. It's the main... whatever that drag

is called. And he takes him out there and he

said, by now he's crying, he's weeping. He said,

pastor, my brother and I own this piece of land.

It's a hundred, my son had told him be at least

a hundred acres. The pastor thought he was goofy,

but anyhow, he said, it'll be three and a half

to $4 million. And so we don't want to spend

that money. He had already told my son that.

So my son said, that's okay. So he's driving

along and this guy's telling him, so we own this

land. Absolutely fabulous piece of land right

off the main highway. I mean, it's visible. It's

right there in the center. And he showed a map

on his video that's right in the middle of everything

where all his people live. You see, God's awesome.

And this guy said, well, said, my brother's not

a Christian yet. I just got saved. I'm praying

he'll get saved. But in the meantime, I want

to give you my half of it. And so if you'll give

my brother $2 million, you can have a $4 or $5

million piece of property. How many know God

works on time? Yeah, he may seem slow, but he's

never late. And when you wait on God, you don't

lose any time. Is anybody hearing me this morning?

And what are we going to do, church? We're going

to get up out of our old stayed place. And God's

shaking you loose right now. He's creating situations

that are shaking you. And you've been wondering.

You call it a devil. You blame the devil for

it. And God said, nope, the devil works for me.

Did you know that? The devil has no authority

over you. He can't go anywhere without asking

Jesus. He couldn't touch Job without God letting

him. He couldn't touch Peter without Jesus telling

Peter, I prayed for you. Your faith will not

fail. I give the devil power to take you from

under my power and put you under his power so

he can shake some chaff off of you. He works

for me. Amen. Everything, according to Romans

8, 28, works together for good. Oh, no, not this

mess. Dear God, not this. Oh, yes. All things.

Come on. Oh, some of you are getting it. I'm

not trying to trick you. Don't get excited. Don't

get worried. No, I'm not trying to paint you

in a corner, and I'm not going to take an offering.

So relax. We're standing on a threshold of enlargement.

We're standing here today. Are you ready for

God to jerk you loose from your very, very comfort

zone where you've settled in for a long winter's

night? Thus far, no further, Lord. Oh, no. We're

going. We're enlarging. And this has to happen

in your heart. Solomon had to have it in his

heart before he saw it in the temple. You have

to have enlargement come to you. You have to

see pregnancy before it happens. You've got to

have it in your faith. You've got to believe

God for it. When faith comes, the Bible said

Sarah was barren, but God gave her a word, said

you're going to have a baby. And the Bible said

she was dead. I mean, at 90, I think that's pretty

accurate. There were no more hormonal functions.

But God gave her an extreme makeover long before

it happened on television. Amen? And God completely

changed. Now, not only her, but he had to do

some work on the old man, too, because he was

dead, and he was 100. Cher was only 90. Come

on. And God fixed her in such an awesome way

that, I mean, he put stuff back that wasn't there.

And he propped up stuff that was sagging. And

he put her back together right. In fact, she

was a knockout. Well, she was too. In so much

that a king of a kingdom looked out the window

one day and said, get me that woman. Man, she

is a hot chick at 90. She didn't have her birth

certificate, but boy, I mean, she was made over.

God had made her a new person. That's in the

Bible. Amen. And the miracle was that God came

to that old king that night and said, you touched

that woman and you're a dead man. She's the wife

of my prophet. Oh, my God. He told me he's her

sister. She's her sister. His sister. Whatever.

That's about how mixed up the thing was. But

you've got to read the story. It's in the Bible.

And when you read it, you'll see God's sovereign

handiwork and how God works. When God gave her

that word, she got tickled. She laughed. God

said, I'm going to have a baby. That's funny.

God said, I heard you laughing, Sarah. He said,

oh, no, Lord, I wasn't laughing. Well, when she

did have her baby, she really laughed. In fact,

she called him laughter. Name is Isaac. Hallelujah.

It means laughter. Now listen to me. Right now,

we're on the verge of increase. And God wants

to bring change into your life. He's taking you

out of your comfort zone. He's going to put you

right where he wants you. In the economy of God,

an enlargement is coming. Listen to me. The thing

of which I'm a part. is greater than the part

that I play. The thing of which I am a part is

greater than the part that I play. I want you

to see where there's unity in faith, we're standing

on the grounds for the miraculous. And we're

going to see enlargement coming. God's preparing

all, listen to me, all over this earth today.

God is shaking everything that can be shaken.

He's coming among leaders. He's coming among

pastors. He's coming among churches that have

become very complacent, satisfied. We have some

of the biggest churches in the entire history

of the body of Christ. But we also have churches

that are not making an effect on their neighborhood,

on our society. And we have a church that's plagued

with all kinds of horrible, horrible barrenness

spiritually. I'm telling you, it's shocking to

see how few people in the body of Christ actually

reproduce themselves, actually win a soul to

Jesus Christ. Amen? God's calling us, and this

is what he told me to give you now in closing.

He's calling us. into a new generation, a generation

of well diggers. Now listen to me carefully.

For the last several years, I've heard this repeated

over and over again, that we are to dig the old

wells. Anybody hear messages on that? Come on.

I only need two or three witnesses. All right.

Listen to me. Here's what the Lord said to me.

God said, I didn't call you to dig the old wells.

I'm calling for new prophetic voices that are

going to dig new wells. We're coming into a new

realm of revelation. We're in a way we've never

been before. I'm telling you, the good old days

are just ahead. Amen. God's calling for new visionaries.

God's calling for prophetic young people, sons

and daughters that will prophesy. Amen. Not looking

back in the rear view mirror. but looking through

the windshield because we've got an awesome vision

ahead of us. Amen. We're not those that draw

back. We're believers of those that go forward

and see the glory of God. Can you say amen? Now

God is calling us to remember the powerful effects

of the cross and everything Jesus Christ accomplished

on the cross is why we're going to see birthing,

why we're going to see multitudes saved, why

we're going to see God's kingdom expanded. And

while we're going to see tens of millions come

into Christ and there will be Muslims. I don't

know if you heard me. We think we're fighting

all these are all terrorists. No, they're not

all terrorists. The devil has put these people

out there to frighten us because there is where

the harvest is. Let me tell you a simple little

homely fact. When I was a boy, there were nine

boys and one girl in our family. And when we

were boys, our neighbors had gardens. We had

victory gardens during the war. And I remember

my older brothers teaching me how to find watermelons

in the night. My brothers were smart. We go on

the darkest night. And one of my brother particularly,

he had an eye. And you know what he looked for

in the garden? Not the watermelon. He looked

for the scarecrow. Because a farmer always put

the scarecrow by the biggest melon. Somebody

better get this. And that's what the devil's

doing right now. He's got his scarecrow up. But

there's a huge melon there. Amen. And we're going

to go after that melon. And I'm not afraid of

the scarecrow. Nor should you be. We're going

to see revival among the Muslims. By the thousands

are going to get saved. And they're already being

saved right now. All over the world. This gospel

is prevailing. But God's calling this church,

Life Bible Church, right here. We're coming to

a new dimension of faith. Amen. Now, here's what

I'm going to ask you to do. I'm closing now.

I really am. But here's what I want you to do.

The Holy Spirit, quicken me. There's two kinds

of birthing we're talking about. I've seen both.

I've seen God do the miraculous with barren people,

people that have been barren all their life for

years, and God healed them and gave them children.

And if you're here today, I didn't do this in

any other service, but if you're here today,

I want to do something very powerful because

it's first the natural, then the spiritual. Okay?

Now, if you're not ashamed and you're anxious

and you're eager and your husband's in favor

of it, and please don't come if you don't have

a husband, at this point, we'll pray for you

separately in other areas. Amen. But if you are

serious and you've had problems producing, don't

be ashamed. If you're not ashamed of it, this

is a good time to get broken and release from

all the discouragement and shame that goes with

it. God said three times in order in that one

verse, I'm going to remove your shame. I'm going

to remove your shame. I'm going to remove your

reproach. That's what God wants to do. He's not

coming to make you more ashamed. He's coming

to get you less ashamed. Amen. Now, if you're

a candidate for a miracle, I want you to come

quickly and stand right in front of me here.

We're going to pray for those that need physical

miracles of healing in their body. Amen. Good.

And I'm not going to be taken back by any kind

of extraneous situation. It doesn't matter. With

God, all things are possible. Amen. And if you

believe that, I want you to stand to your feet,

please. You're saying, well, Brother Moses, this

is a very private thing with me. I don't like

people to know that I want a baby. Why not? If

you need a miracle, this is the time to get it.

Amen. Don't go back to your gynecologist next

month and say, what have you got in your bag

of tricks? What is there left? Listen, God's

a God that restores. God's a miracle -working

God. Amen? How many believe God wants to give

their sister her heart's desire? Amen. Come here,

sister. And I'm going to tell you this. If you

will read Isaiah chapter 54 for the next seven

Isaiah 54 · chapter mention

days. Amen. Your husband with you on this? He's

not saved. Would it frighten him if he had a

baby? He'll be all right? We want them saved,

don't we? How many believe God wants to save

this daddy? Hallelujah. How many believe God

wants to do a miracle in this family? Amen. We're

not here to embarrass you, dear. I hope I'm,

you know, I don't mean that, but we want to see

a victory come through for this family. This

is very strategic, folks. Because what's going

to happen after I pray, we pray for her. We're

going to pray for you. Every one of you that

wants spiritual release. You want to be spiritually

fertile. Amen. God's calling us to be a fertile

church. He wants this church to make increase

of itself in love. God wants this to happen.

Spiritual babies. We want to see just tons of

people saved. In the next several months. I believe

God's going to do it. Do you? Now, stretch your

hands toward our sister right now. And we're

going to pray the prayer of faith. In the next

seven days, I want you to read that scripture

to your husband. Okay? Even though he's kind

of, you know, just kind of stranger to this all.

What's his name, honey? Father, we just thank

you for a miracle in this family. We thank you

for opening a door of hope for my sister. And

in spite of the odds, in spite of all the physical

limitations that we've already calculated, you

are God who does everything well. You are the

creator. We ask for a creative miracle. A creative

miracle. A creative miracle in this body. And

there will be production for your glory, Father.

I praise you for an answer to prayer and for

bringing salvation to this husband and this house.

Salvation is a household word. Amen. Believe

on the Lord Jesus Christ. You shall be saved

and your house in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Now,

the spiritual birthings. This one too. Oh, glory

to God. I'm happy about this. Oh, hallelujah.

Put your hand. Listen to me. You've got to hear

this. You've got to hear this. Amen. You're coming

up on your 13th anniversary, aren't you, honey?

Next Monday. This coming Monday. That's like

tomorrow, isn't it? Like June. Amen. I was preaching.

I was preaching in a church in Little Rock, Arkansas.

And the pastor was a very dear friend of mine.

And we had ministered together. And he was a

prophetic man. Good man. But he and his wife,

listen, are you really, do you want me to tell

you this story? It's so powerful. And it was

a Sunday morning. It was a beautiful, beautiful

day. And I would just worship the Lord, minding

my own business. But I knew that this couple

had been praying for 10 years to have a baby.

And I just minding my own business. Honest, I

wasn't trying to be funny. I just sat and standing

there worshiping with the worshipers. And the

Holy Ghost said to me, tell dear Lawrence that

they're going to have a baby. Carl's going to

have a baby. And I just didn't know any better

than to tell him. And he was in shock. He looked

at me with those steel blue eyes and pierced

holes right through me. He said, Moses, don't

you know? We've been trying to have a baby for

10 years. And we've had so many people prophesy

and it doesn't come to pass. I said, oh God,

I'm sorry, but I had to tell you. And then, and

then, faith came to him. Like it's coming to

you, Brad. Faith came to him and his eyes lit

up. He said, yes. Yes. Then the Holy Ghost came

on the whole congregation. The church was full.

You guys get better and get ready because it's

happening. Thank you, Lord. And I said, the spirit

of faith is on this whole congregation. I don't

know who you are, but I said, there's people

out here and I began to prophesy. There's about

a thousand people that morning. I said, I began

to prophesy. I said, first and natural, this

baby's coming. This is going to be a sign of

an awesome spiritual increase. First the natural,

then the spiritual. I stood there that morning

and the glory of God fell on that congregation.

They began to weep and praise God. And then I

said, prophetically, the Lord showed me. I said,

there's people here that have had miscarriages.

And you have been so beat down with discouragement.

And you've said, what's the use? It always ends

up miscarrying. You know what? God said to me

that that's over and you're not going to miscarry.

Trust God for a complete, full -term, beautiful

baby. That's all I said. And as I said it, I

said, look, it's here. It's in the air. It's

all around you. Reach up and grab it. Well, I

didn't know that morning that so many people

believed that and grabbed it. Amen. And that

pastor, bless his old heart, I shouldn't even

bless him for this because he made me miserable.

I kept calling him. I went home. But before I

left that place, I spoke to that church and I

said, I don't do this lightly and I'm terrified

of what I'm going to say right now. But I know

God told me to tell you that I'm supposed to

be back on a certain date. And I gave him a date

and I don't do that lightly. Believe me, I don't.

I don't even like people to do that. But the

Lord... Impress me to do it. And I did it. And

I said, I'll be back on this date. And I'm going

to dedicate that baby right here in this church.

And by now, faith was leaping out of this brother.

I'm telling you. And of course, his wife was

in extreme shock. But you know what? Faith came.

And folks, I kept calling him. What's going on?

Oh, brother, you don't know. how long we've waited

and we're just still hanging on and he was pulling

my leg because they were all pregnant within

about a week. Not only him. I was in shock. And

he called me up and he said, would you come over

and preach for me? And he was acting so pitiful

on the phone like, you know, he needed another

little shot of faith. And I said, oh man, did

you believe God? Can't you believe God? And he

was just tormenting me. Because when I got there,

she was four months pregnant. And he got up and

told the whole church that morning. He didn't

want to tell them until I was there. Think about

that. Torment her. But it was worth it. But let

me tell you what, on the day that God spoke to

me that I was to be there, I give the date, I

was there. And we dedicated, if I remember correctly,

15 babies. One of those ladies had nine consecutive

miscarriages. But this little baby was perfect.

Full term. Oh, God, what a day. What a day. We've

been on television. We've been on CBN. We've

been everywhere telling about it. We've prayed

for scores of people. God has done it over and

over and over and over again. So I don't understand

this. I just don't know how it works, but it

works. I just want to tell you it works. I want

to tell you it works. Faith that works. Hallelujah.

And today, faith. But here's the powerful thing

of it. Not only was that first sign a babe, the

natural, but I said this was going to open up

the spiritual birthing of this church. Folks,

I'm going to tell you the truth. They had a revival

that wouldn't quit. It was so great, they had

to move out to the fairgrounds. Their building

couldn't hold the people. If I remember right,

somewhere around 2 ,400 people gave their heart

to Jesus in just a very short time. I'd say that's

a substantial, a substantial revival. Now, A

beautiful unity of the Spirit here, Lord. A powerful

confirmation for Jenny, Lord. Hallelujah. A powerful,

miraculous overshadowing of the Almighty. The

same Holy Ghost that overshadowed Mary and said,

she said, be it unto me, Lord, according to your

word. Faith. comes by hearing and hearing by

the Word of the Lord. And today, Lord, we speak

productivity to this precious family. Beautiful,

beautiful fulfillment, Lord, in Jesus' wonderful

name. We're going to shout and praise God, and

I want to come back and celebrate with you. I

don't want to frighten you ladies, but we had

one occasion where we prayed for one sister and

her two sisters took a hold of her hand. Honest.

All three, all three of those sisters. Got pregnant

the same week. Hallelujah. I don't know what

to do here, Pastor. Are you done? Are you overwhelmed?

Why not be? Come on. I'm going to pray for all

of you that need a spiritual release. We didn't

do this yet, did we? Oh, come on. Come on. Come

on. Real quick. Hallelujah. We're not going anywhere

until we're done. Hallelujah.
