Give Me Hebron

And I shared with you and I dedicated this scripture that is found in Joshua 6

1 and 2 if you can put that up and it's a very common and and familiar scripture for

For most of us and it says now Jericho was surely

securely shut up because of the children of Israel

None went out none came in and the Lord said to Joshua

See I have given Jericho into your hand its king and the mighty man of Valor

I confirmed the call of Pastor Jacob at that time and those of you that

Accompanied him or like I said on this journey and those of you that believed together

That God had given you the city of mountain view into your hand

I spoke a spoke a word of faith to that small but valiant

group of people that stood with Pastor Jacob and sister Shiree and the family not knowing

That what would be the future or the the days ahead and

To accomplish God's word and mission a purpose and mission in this city

It's almost as if that you entered it blindly not knowing but I

Preached a message one time some years ago somewhere

I don't know where and I says we need to have blind faith and

blind faith meaning that we don't need to see to believe and

many times when we see something and we already know well praise God

You know it helps you and I'm gonna be talking about a little bit about that in a few moments

But there is not a stronghold. I told you there is not a weapon form that will hold you

And I don't believe that nothing has held you back

I believe that you would you set out to do God begin to do a work in your lives

Many people have entered through those doors

Many people have come here and they have received something from God not everybody stays

But everybody takes a man and somebody came and they got something from the Lord

Some of them stayed some are with you now that weren't with you at the beginning

But the important thing is this that the doors have been opened

And I don't know if you remember but that was pastor Jacobs topic the doors are open

I don't know if we remembered that a baton and that is what's important here today

Is that the doors are still open? Can you praise the Lord?

There's many doors especially

because of the troublesome times and the the turbulence and life and the economy and

And and and even as we passed it as was mentioned a couple of weeks ago the pandemic so many things that have come

that could have

Disabled you or or disappointed you or or even you know held you back

But it did not hold you back many businesses. In fact, no

we were just somewhere recently and and

I

Wanted to go we wanted to go to this restaurant and and when we get there we find that it's closed down

The doors were closed and you know, there's been many doors that have been closed over the last ten years

There's a lot of people that started things that didn't finish up. They gave up they threw in the towel

They say forget it. It's not worth it

But city light has kept the doors open for ten years. Amen and because of that many people and especially

The enemy of our souls. He don't like it when the doors are open

He doesn't like it when the signs are out in front

He doesn't like it when people begin to make noise in the sanctuary with

Jubilee and shout and singing and the word of God is being preached

But the devil and whatever he has thrown to you you've been able to hurl it

You've been able to dodge it

You've been able to get through it and here you are today bless the name of the Lord

God is good and God has been with you through the highs and the lows. He's been with you praise God somebody. Amen. I

Mentioned a quote back then and I will I will just repeat it again because

It still stands true and if you can put it up there for me, please

It was a quote by a man by name run Sylvia. This is what he said

He's a church planter a coach in Florida

He says God prepares you for a place and God prepares a place for you

And I believe and what I'm going to be speaking about here today

I'm gonna take you just a little bit further than the opening scripture if I may and I want to

Entitle if I may I'm not one with fancy titles and all of that. I'm you know, I'm over the hill

And we're gonna talk about that hill right now

Praise God, no, it's not that I just I'm just gonna give it a simple name. Give me Hebron

Give me have somebody say give me Hebron

Today I confirm that this is still the beginning for city light

The best is yet to come

Don't don't think that oh, we are at the pinnacle. This is not Shiloh right here

We're not just gonna plant and stay here. We got to get out and explore

We got to get out and and know that God has so much more for us

And we don't need to have a Shiloh experience where God had to come down it and

Shake things up and and get people moving out to to claim their promises

But I thank God that city like church is on the move a band city like church

is a moving target if you please because

People that are on the move from God there. It's difficult to get them and to discourage them

But I want to thank you for your sacrifices for your investments for your prayers and for your giving

Because it is not in vain

God will never forget maybe you forgot

That day that you prayed and the day that you fasted or the day that you contributed

Maybe you forgot about it, but God does not forget

He knows everything you've done every little thing that you have done in favor of his

People in favor of his church God does not forget and I read a scripture back then a short verse and it said

Matthew 16 18 I didn't give it to you on PowerPoint, but it says I will build my church

That is a promise because God doesn't set out to do anything unless he plans to finish it

He's the author. He's the finisher of everything praise God nothing in from before or after in between

Gets done without his permission and when God says I'm going to build guess what God's going to build

When God says I'm going to build my church

He's going to build the church and it's not up to any of anybody else

It's up to God and when God is in it praise be the name of the Lord

It's gonna happen

Turn your neighbor is happening. It's happening

the potential of any church

Lies within the gifts that the Lord gives the church

God has not sure changed or held anything from city like church

You are a very gifted church with great potential

Becoming the brightest light in the city for people to come and receive

Christ as their personal Savior gifts are not received as many people think and

Ready to use switch on switch off gifts don't come like that

they must first be

discovered and then

Developed and to work together within a spiritual body to reach its greatest potential

Spiritual gifts are not to operate alone. God never

designated or gave a gift to anybody that should operate by itself

There's no gift in my Bible that says it's a gift on its own

Independent of everybody is not we are a body of Christ. We are a people that make up a body

So the gifts don't operate alone

They work in concert and in harmony with other gifts to become a functional

Organism this requires unity

Which has been a characteristic of city like church. Can you say amen to that?

gifts are

Rarely discovered by the recipient alone praise God

There's been great men in whatever sport and athletics and

and athletics and sports

Industry that were not discovered in themselves

They were discovered by somebody else praise the Lord the potential of any athlete

It's not to be discovered within himself

But rather by a scout somebody that's out there looking and they say wow did you see that kid over there?

Oh my god does he have an arm does he can do it?

Oh wow, you know he's got this potential and to begin to look at him

They scout him out a coach will look at him or then even a mentor that

Observes and recognizes the gift and the talent of an athlete by their raw

performance and love for the sport one of the greatest tests for

Any athlete is their love for the game?

I wouldn't want to engage or be part of anything unless they loved what they were doing a man

If they don't have a love or a heart for the sport

They will most likely not be willing to be mentored or developed to their greatest potential

I've played and sports

You know for a good part of my life and and I knew I know I seen this and and I wasn't the greatest

Athlete but one thing that I had is I had a love for the game and praise God and when they would tell me to do something

A certain way I did it just like they said

And and so that kind of moved me up into the front lines what they called

You know first strength second straight and you know I hated second and third string I

Don't like first second and third

I want to be in first string and I would be right by the coach and people say oh you're you're brown now

See in the coach no, I'm playing more than you

I'm in there man. I want him to know that I'm right here and I'm ready

How many are ready?

Praise God if you're just gonna be sitting down chatting and drinking Gatorade you're not going in man

With your helmet off, you know, hey look at me man. I'm number 95 really?

Why don't you stand where you're available? I always used to stand if the coach and go that way I follow the coach

V go that way I follow the coach. Yeah. Hey man coach. Yeah, I'm right here put me in

Amen, and that's what it requires somebody that is ready able and willing I

Remember maybe I shouldn't tell you but I'll tell you I

Remember one occasion it wasn't my position, but the coach just wanted a certain guy hit so bad

He just wanted him to be hit. I don't care. I just want somebody to hit that guy

And I was standing right here looking at he says will you hit him? I said yes, sir

Get in there in the next place is what position do I play that just get in there hit him?

Man, let me tell you I

Didn't care where the ball was

Didn't matter where the ball was going my eyes were on that guy and

Then I seen him running and and and and our our I don't know if it was a half back full back or

Or whatever back he was running and he had the ball and I was up there running with him

I was you know kind of blocking people and then I saw the guy

There he is

I said never mind who's carrying the ball right now. I turned around and

Then I faced him head on and that guy looked at me you're a fool. I said no, I'm not and

Then he came at me and I just ducked down and I will boom that guy wouldn't like this

Boom he fell on his back and the ref wanted to throw me out of the game

He wanted to throw me out of the game. So you can't do that. I says my coach said do it. I did it

So I wouldn't he said oh my he was hugging me and I

knew I

Didn't know what I was doing, but I did what he said I was being I was just following the the the coaches lead

Amen, sometimes we don't know why just do it

When your mentor and your coach tells you to do it just do it when your pastor says hey gotta do this man get in there and do it

Don't question. You might say that's out of the rules. Hey man. Who said there's any rules there just get it done

I have personally seen

The city like church in its maturing

I have seen it mature and develop into what God had envisioned it to become and

God has given

City like church the gift of a pastor

Which is part of the five-fold?

ministerial gifts of the church

God himself has taken personal interest in his gift to the church and he began the process by making

pastor Jacob into

Taking him under his own

Mentorship as an understudy of God himself and then he continued to develop him into a true

Under shepherd you will not become an under shepherd until you become an understudy

You got to be submissive to the plan of God into the call of God and the preparation and the development of God and whatever level in ministry

You are involved and remember you've got to be God's understudy

You got to be the understudy of the leader that God has placed in your life to develop and form you and prepare you

into what you should become and will become

the process of development and re and building

Continues through the pastor who has been given the ability to discover other gifts and

Potential and other people that is under his care

He then begins to edify develop and most important to mentor

Every member under his care to the greatest potential of ministry and God's kingdom work

People that come in and you know and they're already made up

I mean we've seen these these athletes that you know they they cannot they don't gel with the team because they come from

Somewhere else and and they have their own ideas and and they want to do it their way and and it's hard to work that way

But when somebody is born here and somebody is developed here when somebody is willing to to gel

With the ministry under the vision of the pastor. Let me tell you God has great things in store for you

And God will bless and use you and grant to your greatest potential. I'm gonna tell somebody here

I don't know who is for you have not reached your potential yet

You might think you have reached a pinnacle God has so much more to draw out of you to develop in you

You have a great potential in God to God be the glory

Many great athletes that ended the career prematurely

We're asked what happened and

In many cases it's possibly an injury

But then one of the things that is heartbreaking is to hear somebody say I have lost the love for the game I

Don't love the game anymore and

When you lose love for the game you stop developing you stop growing in your gift or your talent

Pastor Jacobs love for the ministry has only grown to the point that he is willing to submit to the most

rigid and demanding development to ensure that God accomplishes his purpose in his life and in this city

Love for the game is the greatest motivation to pay the price of

Sacrifice and pain for the gain somebody say praise the Lord. Amen church leadership

Beginning with the pastor follows the same pattern in the same path

But I don't think that's a problem here at city like church

I see an assembly of gifts and talents that God has brought together

that are determined to pay the price and grow and mature

Because of the love for ministry and the work of God you are willing to submit

To the development me to the molding that God has prepared for you city light

This is your best season. I

Said this is your best season

God has brought you to a place through it all you trusted in God

You have not been distracted you have maintained your focus and the dream is much closer

Then you can even imagine

Because you know like somebody said one time that was running for office

He says hey the side view mirrors in the rear view mirrors

They're very deceiving because the reality is

Your prize is a lot closer than it seems because sometimes when we look to things and we think well

It's way back there. No, it's not it's with you

And I want pastor Jacob to say even though he looks in the rear view mirror and he sees the congregation maybe way back

There they're not way back there. They're a lot closer than he might think they're right there with him in the trenches

Yes, it's a beauty of loving the game. I

talked about Jericho

But I want you to know that Jericho is now in your rear view mirror

You might say well, when did we pass it? Don't worry

And I want you to I want this church to know this is what I have for you today

Jericho is in the past

Yes city light has crossed over

City light has now a gain a momentum

City light is now beginning to experience experience the promises of God

Things are beginning to open for you and I'm gonna tell you something

I'm believing God for great things for city light church

Are you hearing what I'm saying? How many of you still love this thing?

How many still left to be here?

Because if you don't love it, you'll lose it. Amen

But if you love it, amen, it's gonna launch you out even further into the future and you're gonna be part of all

Jericho was in your path to get to what God wants to take you

My title for today is give me Hebron

Give me Hebron and I want to explain to you a little bit. I won't be long

But I want to explain to you the difference many people they get to Jericho

And then they want to just you know say that's good. I'm glad we're in the promises of God

No, no, no Jericho is just the beginning of what God has for the church

Don't think spiritually speaking that you crossed over praise God. We're over here. We're in the promises of God

Yes, praise be to God, but we have a bigger vision than that

We have a greater purpose than that

Jericho, amen is already history

But

Hebron is your future now I'm gonna explain that here in a minute

You have what I call the spirit of Keb Caleb and the dream that Caleb had

Hebron is what Caleb dream. I'm gonna tell you something

Caleb never dream Jericho

He never dream Jericho

Never talked about Jericho. He never said hey when we get to Jericho

That wasn't what kept him for 45 more years in the desert

It wasn't Jericho that he was concerned about it wasn't there Jericho that he fell in love with

It was Hebron

and

And Hebron is what Caleb dream about for 45 years more in the desert

When he was at 40 years he crossed over into the promised land to scout out the land

He was out there for months

Looking and seeking and going up and down with 11 other spies scouting out the land

Caleb saw

Something that got within his spirit and that what got into his spirit now

For 45 years it was in the frontlets of his eyes

He would not stop talking about Hebron. Will you stop it already?

Caleb be quiet. You're never gonna see Hebron. Oh, no one day. I'm gonna set foot on Hebron again

One day I'm gonna cross over but I I don't know what we're gonna confront

I have no idea what we're gonna have to pass but my target is Hebron

Hebron

Had a significant was significant to Caleb. It is a

it is a

spiritually a

spiritual place of claiming for him

Hebron was home for our father of faith Abraham

Abraham

loved Hebron

Abraham lived in Hebron

Abraham loved Hebron so much

He spent most of his time in Hebron

but he

even wanted to bury his wife in Hebron and

He he said well, I want to legitimately illegally

Claimed some ground here to to to bury my wife Sarah

So he offered a man by the name of Ephron

He offered him

To buy a cave to bury his wife

It was a piece of land

But within there there was a cave that he wanted to bury his wife in

but

Ephron

He offered Abraham. They loved Abraham in that time and and these people were inhabitants of the land and

They offered Abraham for Abraham. You can just have it Abraham. You gotta just take it. It's yours

I'm giving it to you. We love you Abraham, but Abraham said no, I don't want you to give me nothing

I want to legitimately buy it for full price

That's what I want and that is symbolic of what the Lord Jesus Christ did

He paid full price that you and I could be here today

You see the best things in God is gonna cost us something

Are you ain't hear me right now? I said the best things in God is gonna require something from us

God can give us a God can give you a Jericho God can give you an AI

But God wants you to pay a price for Hebron

Nobody likes to pay the full price

He didn't he offered it for free and even

Attempted to no go negotiated and give it to him at a discounted price

But Abraham refused and insisting on paying full price. I'll pay full price

It was it was only a small piece of land

which

That had no meaning was a burial site for for goodness sake

You know it was a cemetery for us and you know who wants to pay full price

No, but Abraham said no

No, I

Want to pay full price. I

Know that it's spiritually mine because God said wherever I set my foot is mine

But I want you to know that I want to pay it because I want it not only to be mine spiritually

I want it to be mine legally. I want the deed of the land

Ray the Lord I

Want the deed and

So they proceeded and Abraham purchased this

the piece of land there and and and

Eventually he buried his wife

not only

Did God promise Abraham the land

But God provided for Abraham to purchase it and

Now Abraham had what I call a double claim a

Double claim man, I don't know if you've ever had anything that you got a double claim on

But man, let me tell you one's not good enough the other one here man. I got the paperwork

Haha, it's mine. It's mine. You're not gonna take it away from me

You might you might think that maybe I might be in the spiritual low somewhere and you think you can run me out of the

Promise land. Yeah, you might be able to run me out of the promised land, but I got a claim to this land

I got that deed and I want you to know that when the people of God were in Egypt and and and Jacob passed away

Yeah, amen and and he passed away in a foreign land, but Joseph said I need to go bury my father

In the deeded land of Hebron

I need to take him back and bury him when the land that was purchased by my grandfather

I need to take him to my great grandfather

I need to take him there and he took him back and buried

Jacob in the land

Hebron

So we see here that

No matter where the patriarchs would die they will return to Hebron and buried why because Hebron is a destination

Hebron to them was a place of rest

Hebron was for them a place of claim. This is ours and we're going here praise God

I was just recently involved in some property dispute

when I was

Supervising up there in the Great Lakes. They have a huge piece of land

87 or 88 acres of land that they they they bought years and years ago and and they wanted access

Well, praise God that when we started to get access in there

Everybody was saying you can't get in through my property. He said well, doesn't this place have an entrance?

How are we gonna get to our land?

It says well, we've been coming through over here

You know and and we've been coming in through this little piece of land over here or who owns this land?

We don't know I says, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna buy that land

Because ain't nobody gonna deny us access to our promise

Hello, somebody

And let me they say bishop are you okay? I says what do you mean am I okay? Are you okay?

How can you have something and not have access?

We're gonna get right here. Let's make it right. I says in first place

You know what we're gonna do? I want you to build a big gate in the beginning of the entrance and put a name on this campsite

And say this belongs to us. This is our entrance and they say you want to put a gate put an entrance

You know, nobody gonna deny us what belongs to us. Praise God and you know, I'm gonna tell you something

There's a lot of things that the enemy might want to say the door is closed

We got a claim in there and I know the city life God has something big for city life and you need to get in there

Abraham paved the way

Abraham bought the entrance

And

Abraham Sarah Isaac Rebecca Jacob and Leo are all buried there now

Hebron is a place of beginning and a place of ending

And Hebron is a full circle if you please

So when they

began to

Take the land with Joshua as their leader

When they began to make their way into the land and and they they began to take

Certain cities like I mentioned, they started in the central

of

Canaan Central

Cities and Jericho was one of them and have and AI another one and so forth

And then they had to go south and when they were going south there was Hebron

And it was around that time that that that Caleb in Joshua 1412

And he said this now therefore give me this mountain

Of which the Lord spoke in that day

For you heard it nobody else he says the Lord spoke

And I'm going to tell you when God speaks

Nothing can come against it when God spoke a word into your life. Don't listen to nobody else

It don't matter if it's somebody says you're going to fail. I don't care. I'm in the will of God

And I'm going to have great success where you've had a lot of failures. It don't matter if you had failures

When you have a word from God, you're going to have great success

He spoke in that day. He says for you heard him. He was now talking to to Joshua

You heard for you heard in that day how the anachem were there. Who was anachem anachem was a family of giants

There were three brothers that lived there the descendants of anachem and they were there

Where they were in that?

Hebron

And that

The cities were great and fortified

It may be that the Lord will be with me

And I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said

That mountain was Hebron

Hebron

That was his target

Hebron was not an option for Caleb

It was not up for negotiation

Caleb

Would you rather have this city over here? Look at the land

Look at how beautiful it is

Look at the waterbrooks that go through at Caleb because I'm not interested

No, no, no, no, no, I'm not interested in that. You know, what about over here Caleb?

What about this side? It go up north central? Hey, man, why you want to be down there in the south?

There's a lot of trouble down there. Hey, I don't care what's down there

I have a dream

I've got I've got reason to go there

He says uh, and he said he was decisive

He was determined. He was bold and he was courageous to pursue this challenge

And he says I am repossessing what belong to my forefathers

I don't know, you know some years ago. I I had a real nice pickup truck 56 Chevy custom cab

Full synchro shift

327

650 carburetor

Yeah, she was a beauty man. I can show you pictures after service

I sold it two times

And you think I'd learned the first time

This guy, I don't know what was wrong with me. He must have caught me on a good day for him

But I sold it to him, but I sold it to him on a little bit of credit

He owed me a balance

And I said look, we whoa

You think I'm dumb. I'm not gonna give you the pink slip

Until you pay me in full

Oh, you got to put insurance on it. Well, I kept my insurance on it just in case

Well, he didn't pay me

Yeah, and I went looking for him. I couldn't find him. He was not home all the time

So one day I got a buddy of mine that was a police officer and says hey, I got it

I need a favor. So what is it? I gotta go get my pickup. You got the pink slip right here

I got the pink slip, man

He said well, let's go get it

So we went over there and sure enough the pickup was in the driveway

And walked up there and this big

Bruiser of a man, he comes up what you want and says I want my pickup

He says you can't have it and says oh, yes I can

I got the pink slip right here. He said my name is my name. Officer's in my name. He said it's in his name

He says well, what are you gonna do? So we're gonna take it. I'm gonna drive it away right now

He said you can't drive. He said oh, yes, I can. He said you ain't got the key. Oh, you think I gave you all the keys?

I know you're dumb enough not to change that

Because that's hard to get another key slot for that 56 says I got an extra set of keys here. Bye. Bye

You can't take watch me

And the officer say whoo stay there sir go ahead and drive her away sir. I got him my little 56

She's boom. Oh man, it felt good. I'm out of here

The secret to reclaiming what was mine. I had the keys

Oh, you ain't hear me right now. I had the keys

I don't know if city light has the keys

I'm gonna got the keys here

I will give you the keys the Lord said Peter now Peter upon this rock. I'll build my church and I will give you the keys

Wow, so you can claim it

You have the deed the title and you got the keys and you can go claim what's yours

Hebron belongs to city light

I said hebron belongs to this church now we're gonna go there a little bit city light

Hebron is yours to cling

Listen to this hey Hebron later became a Levitical city

It became a levitical city

It became a priestly city because if you recall the priests the Levites had no claim to nothing

You know where they went? Hebron

All the priests went to Hebron

All the levitical people went to be became a levitical city a priestly city

Where the priests minister and sought God's presence it was a place of worship

It became where people went to worship God

Are you with me? It was a place where people wanted to go where you're going going to Hebron

What's in Hebron? Wow man Hebron is where the priests are Hebron is where the worship is I want to go to Hebron

I want to go to Hebron

Hebron was something that people desired

Hebron also became a refuge

One of the city first cities of refuge where fugitives can go and find hope

So it was a not only a place of worship where the priests were the levitical city

Where the presence of God is sought and where there was worship

But people came there because they knew there's hope over there in Hebron

When David became king of Judah

Nointed for the first time

He reigned from Hebron

For seven and a half years

Hebron was the royal residence of the king David

You see when you take Hebron

The king will show up

Oh you're not hearing me right now

I said when you take Hebron

The king is going to come and reside in Hebron

Why?

Because we claimed it

How many want the king of king and the lord of lords to reside right here in city light

Praise the lord somebody

It was Hebron where David was anointed again

I believe that was the third time

And he became king over all of Israel

Listen to me

When we claim Hebron

And we take Hebron

And we possess Hebron

Not only is there going to be a royal place for priests

For the presence of God worship

Of refuge place

But it's going to be a place of anointing

You hear what I'm saying

A place of a...

Woo I feel the presence of the lord right

Let me tell you something

You can have whatever you want

I want the anointing of the lord

I want to know that I'm in the midst and in the right place to get the anointing of the lord

The anointing

Greater anointing

Great things

Await city light church

If we can only take Hebron

Give me Hebron

Hebron spiritually speaking is a great prize

It is a place of great expectation

It was in Hebron that Caleb

When he was surveying the land with his other eleven spies

When they were out there surveying the land

It was at Hebron

And that mountain where Caleb plucked those enormous grapes

He plucked them out

And he brought them back over back to Moses as evidence of the promises

And the great things that await us in the promised land

But he plucked them out of Hebron

Hebron was known to be where everything grew big

Praise the lord

The people were big

Praise the lord

The fruit of the land was enormous

I don't know if you want the enormous

Here at city light

Let everybody have the raisins

Let other people take the raisins

If you like raisins I'm sorry

But let somebody else take the raisins

I want the grapes man

Because grapes produce wine

And wine is symbolic of the spirit

Oh you ain't hear me now

Oh let me tell you something

He brought back the evidence of the fruitfulness of the land

Caleb he was aware of the strong resistance he would face

Hebron is where the sons and Annec lived

He knew that

But guess what

Not everybody views Hebron like Caleb did

This is important

There were giants in Hebron

And it was there that the ten spies that came back with a negative report

Came back with a report of what they saw in Hebron

Wow

There's people

There's churches

We don't mention no name

There are churches that get to Jericho and AI and all the other little places

And they shout and they're shy low

They're just having a party

But they have no idea what Hebron has

And you know why they don't want to go there

They know there's big fruit there

They know but they're afraid of the giants

They said, what did they say?

We're like grasshoppers before them they said

Grasshoppers

Is that how you view an apostolic Holy Ghost Field Church

As a grasshopper in the city of Mountain View

You're not a grasshopper here

You're giant killers man

You have the deed and the keys to the promise of God

The gifts of God are operating here

We're not grasshoppers

In fact you should get a sign and put it out there and say no grasshoppers allowed

Grasshoppers allowed

Brother get an idea now

Hebron is a place of refuge

You can put up that last slide for me brother thank you

Look at this

Hebron is a place of refuge

A place of great abundance

A place of rooted faith

Through our patriarchs

A place of royalty

A place of worship

A place of ministry

And most importantly a place of anointing

Stand with me please

City light

Just as God blessed Caleb

With such a great trophy

God will also give city light Hebron

And all that comes with it

If you just claim your trophy

Your prize

Hebron is a typology

Of a powerful revival

A great harvest

A great ministry

And a powerful anointing

When I've come to tell you today

Hebron is yours to claim

Many people

Settled

Around Jericho

Around Jericho

Oh why don't we just camp right here

Wow what a victory

Wow did you see the walls come down

Yeah yeah we

Wow wasn't that something

We took the city

But you see that wasn't Caleb's motivation

Caleb says I

I got something far greater to claim

I don't want the

The stuff along the way

Yeah they're victories and you're going to have victories

You're going to have one victory

Another victory you've had several victories

But it isn't over until we

Capture Hebron

Because that's where

God begins to do great

And mighty things

People are going to want to come here

For refuge

People

Are going to come and enjoy

The fruit

The hope

The ministry

The worship

Because that's what Hebron was

And is to us spiritually

How many want to go to Hebron

You want to go to Hebron

So Jacob

Ten years ago we dedicated Jericho to you

Today

It's Hebron

That's the next step

And I know you've had a lot of victories

And God has

Brought people here

In many ways

Baptisms

Restorations and whatnot

And those are victories

We celebrate those victories

Had healings, you've had miracles

So many things that happened in the last ten years

But Hebron is the big one

Because when you get there's a price to pay

Yes, it's not for free

But like Caleb said

Those giants

They're going down

Because God already told me

And Jacob said

He's going to give you the money

And Jacob

I'm telling you

Hebron

Is yours for the taking

Hebron

Is city like future

Because God is faithful to His promises

When we lay claim on what's already ours

This is the great revival

That the Apostolic Assembly

Is desiring

And I told my wife just this morning

I said, you know

I would love to guide

People, churches, bishops

Into the greatest revival they have ever seen

And I'm going to tell you

That I'm going to tell you

That I'm going to be part of the team

I want to be part of that

And I know I'm positioned in a place

Where I could make a difference

But I want to do more

Because I've yet to see

We're celebrating

That's good

But we're celebrating prematurely

We stay there

We don't move forward into the miraculous

Into the operations of the supernatural

And that's Hebron

That's Hebron

That's where I want to go

And I know that's where city light

Is going to experience

Because Pastor Jacob Hebron

Belongs to you

God is granting you

Access

And not many days hence

You're going to begin to experience things

Huryala ma nisya la la ma hakai

That you had only dreamed about experiencing

You dream about them

You want them so bad

God is giving it to you now

Step in faith

Walk in faith

Don't settle for the celebration

You know, that's great

We conquered this

We got a victory here

We got a victory here

Go for Hebron

It's a mountain

It's treacherous

It's dangerous

It's rewarding

And this is what

God said to tell you

Huryala ma nisya la ma hakai

And I pray church

That she will celebrate

Hebron already

You see because Caleb talked about it

He dream about it

Yeah, he was part of Jericho

He's part of all of that

But he says I'm not satisfied

Until I can take Hebron

But not everybody wants Hebron

Not everybody desires it

Because it gets stuck in the small celebrations

Along the way

They pitch tent there

They make a home there

But home

Is Hebron

Home is Hebron

If I can only get to Hebron

I will experience it

I will experience it

I will experience it

I will experience the ultimate

The miraculous

And that doesn't stop there

From there David

Was the one that launched out to Jerusalem

But he launched from Hebron

To Jerusalem

And that's another preaching

That's another message right there man

Telling wow

But Hebron is a launching pad

Hebron is a launching pad to the miraculous
