HAVE YOU WITH US TODAY. AND I DO HAVE A GREAT MESSAGE THAT WE'RE

GONNA SHARE, BRENDA. I'VE BEEN ENJOYING IT. IT'S BEEN GOOD.

IT'S HELPED US, IT'S HELPED US ACTUALLY. IT KIND OF SPARKED MY

MESSAGE A LITTLE ON WEDNESDAY ABOUT MAINTAINING, WHEN YOU'RE

IN A TIME OF CHALLENGE, OF SELFCONTROL. I THINK IT'S

IMPORTANT. I AGREE. AND WE'RE LEARNING THAT. IT'S BEEN SO

GOOD. WELL, AND I'M GONNA TALK MORE ON THE COVENANT. AND YOU

KNOW, SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY, I THINK IT'S CHANGING THE WAY

I'M PRAYING. BECAUSE I'M REALIZING THAT GOD AND I, IT'S

OUR COVENANT. IT'S OUR MARRIAGE. AND I'VE BEEN SAYING TO GOD,

GOD, IT'S OUT OF BALANCE. IF YOU GOT ALL THE BLESSING AND I

DON'T. WOW. ARE YOU HERE? COME ON. SO WE'RE HAVING SOME

CONVERSATION. ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT US GOING NOW. I GOT A GREAT

MESSAGE. I'M EXCITED. BY THE WAY, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE READY

WAS WEAK. WE GOT SOME REAL FOOTBALL PEOPLE HERE. BUT HAVE

YOU NOTICED THE TEMPERATURES ARE GETTING COOLER? YES. HOW MANY

ARE LIKING THE COOL TEMPERATURE? I DO, IT'S BETTER. YOU KNOW,

BRENDA, THAT REMINDS ME, COOL TEMPERATURES. SO HOW MANY OF

YOU, YOUR COMPUTER GETS KIND OF HOT? LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS, YOUR

COMPUTER GETS HOT SOMETIMES. I'M AFRAID TO RAISE MY HAND.

OKAY, YOUR COMPUTER GETS HOT. JARED, OUR COMPUTER GEEK, YOUR

COMPUTER GETS HOT. BUT THE OTHER DAY I TOUCHED MY COMPUTER, I

DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE WEATHER, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY COLD. MY

COMPUTER WAS COLD. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MY COMPUTER

WAS COLD. AND THEN I REALIZED, I LEFT THE WINDOWS OPEN.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

SO I JUST REALIZED THAT IT WAS COLD. OKAY, THEY ARE LAUGHING

AT THAT. THEY ARE REALLY LAUGHING. THAT'S WHY I TELL

THEM, YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAUGH. THAT'S WHAT IT,

NEVERMIND. ACTUALLY, THAT WAS KIND OF FUNNY. IT'S THE FIRST

TIME SHE'S ADMITTED THAT. I LIKE THAT ONE. ALL RIGHT, WELL,

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE VISITING, I'M JUST HAVING A LITTLE FUN

WITH YOU, BUT WE ARE READY TO WORSHIP THE LORD. AMEN, AND

EXCITING TODAY, WE HAVE NEW MEMBERS

BEING ADDED TO THE CHURCH.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

SO AWESOME TO SEE OURSELVES GROWING AND EXPANDING AS THE

KINGDOM OF GOD. SO IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT SERVICE TODAY. SO YOU

SHOULD BE EXCITED, NUDGE YOUR NEIGHBOR, POINT AT HIM, SAY,

"YOU OUGHT TO BE REALLY EXCITED." I OUGHT TO BE REALLY

EXCITED. AND THEN ASK THEM IF THEY KNOW WHY. SAY, "BECAUSE GOD

IS HERE." AMEN. ARE YOU READY TO PRAISE THE LORD TODAY? ALL

RIGHT, LET'S DO LIKE WE ALWAYS DO. DO IT WITH YOUR HANDS UP.

SAY, "LORD JESUS, IT'S GONNA BE AN EXCITING DAY IN THE HOUSE OF

THE LORD. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HERE, AND YOU'RE MOVING IN THIS

PLACE, AND YOU'RE MOVING IN MY LIFE. SHOULD WE SAY IT? ALL

RIGHT, I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU, YOU READY? MY VERY BEST PRAISE.

SHOUT LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT, AND LET'S PRAISE THE LORD.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

(MUSIC)

COME ON, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER.

HOW MANY OF YOU CAME TO PRAISE THE LORD?

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

COME ON. THE SOUND OF HIS CHURCH. THE ASSEMBLY OF HIS

PEOPLE WORSHIPING HIM. IN THE EARS OF

YOU, GOD, WE SAY YOU ARE GREAT. MAY THIS TOUCH YOUR HEART TODAY,

MY FATHER. YESHUA, SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND, WE DECLARE TO YOU,

WE THE ASSEMBLY OF YOUR PEOPLE, GREAT. COME ON, KEEP DOING IT.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT ARE YOU GOD. COME ON, IN YOUR LIVING ROOMS,

WHEREVER YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY, SING ALONG WITH US. GREAT, GREAT

ARE YOU, LORD. SO WONDERFUL ARE YOU, MASTER.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

YOU ARE THE GREAT GOD. WE WORSHIP YOU MESSIAH.

YOU, LORD. SHANE, I WANT YOU TO SING ABOUT HOW GREAT GOD IS.

COME ON, LIFT UP YOUR VOICE, PASTOR SHANE.

(MUSIC)

SPIRIT OF THE LORD SAYS, "DO NOT JUDGE YOUR PRESENT MOMENT OR THE

FUTURE DAYS THAT ARE QUICKLY UPON YOU IN MY SEASON THAT I

HAVE DECLARED IN THE EARTH. FOR IF YOU DO, YOU WILL NOT SEE WHAT

IS HAPPENING AND WHAT SHALL BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE WITH SUDDEN

CHANGE, SURPRISES, AND YES, BENEFITS OF THOSE WHO HAVE STOOD

IN THE TIME OF BATTLE. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE LOSING? DO

YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE GOING BACKWARDS? THIS IS THE PROVERB

OF YOUR LAND IN AMERICA AND EVEN IN OTHER NATIONS THAT HAVE COME

BEFORE MY EARS. AND IT HAS GRIEVED ME, SAYS THE LORD, FOR I

HAVE SAID THAT I WOULD STAND AT THIS TIME WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE

EARTH, FOR IT IS THE GOD FACTOR. IT IS I THAT HAVE COME AND I AM

MOVING. YET WHEN THE PROPHET DECLARED, "THIS TIME TOMORROW

THINGS WOULD CHANGE," YET THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE. WHEN ELIJAH

STOOD AND SAID, "BUT THERE IS THE SOUND OF AN ABUNDANCE OF

RAIN," THE RAIN CAME. THE CHANGE CAME. AND YET WHEN THE MESSIAH

YESHUA CAME INTO THE COURT OF THE TEMPLE, AND THERE WERE THE

MONEY CHANGERS, THE THIEVES, AND CORRUPTION CAUSED THE ZEAL OF

THE LORD TO ARISE. THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED. YOUR GOD, YOUR

LORD, HIS ZEAL IS AND HAS BEEN STIRRED BECAUSE OF THE

CORRUPTION, THE FILTH, THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE

BLATANTLY AND BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THEREFORE, I ANNOUNCE

YOUR SEASON IS CHANGING. AND THE GREAT DISRUPTER WHO CAME AND

THREW THEM OUT AND OVERTURNED THE TABLES. THIS SHALL CARRY YOU

IN THE SEASON THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE. YOU WILL NOT GO BACK.

YOUR MIDTERMS SHALL STRIKE A MOMENT IN YOUR HISTORY THAT YOU

WILL SEE THAT THIS NATION WILL ADVANCE. THE AGENDA THAT I HAVE

DECLARED SHALL GO FORWARD AND THERE WILL BE A SWALLOWING UP OF

THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD HAVE THEIR MOMENT OF VICTORY TO

REJOICE. I SAY, THIS IS MY TIME TO BRING FORTH REPRIEVE, TO

BRING REST, AND TO KEEP VICTORIES THAT SHALL BE THE

MANIFESTATION OF THE PROOF OF WHAT I SAY. YOUR GAS PRICES ARE

BUT A SIGN OF WHAT IS ABOUT TO SHIFT. YOUR ECONOMY AND WHAT YOU

ARE FACING IS BUT A SIGN OF WHAT IS ABOUT TO SHIFT. YOU SAY, BUT

LORD, WE NEED IT NOW. IT IS IN PROCESS. YOU WILL REJOICE

BECAUSE GREAT SURPRISES ARE ABOUT TO COME. WELL, YOU WILL

UTTER FROM YOUR LIPS, WE REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN, BECAUSE

IT WILL MARK A FORMER SEASON, AND YOU WILL BE MARKED BY THE

NEW. THEREFORE BE COMFORTED IN THIS DAY, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF

GOD, AS THE FATHER DECLARES TO YOU, TO BE AT PEACE, TO BE AT

REST, AND TO BE COMFORTED. FOR AS THE LORD GAVE REST TO DAVID,

ARE YOU ANY DIFFERENT, MY COVENANT PEOPLE? REST SHALL COME

TO THE JUST AND THE UNJUST. I WILL CAUSE IT TO REIGN.

THEREFORE, AS I SPOKE TO DAVID, AND I SAID, AND IT WAS WRITTEN,

I, THE LORD, CAUSE THE WARS TO CEASE WITH THE PHILISTINES. AND

THIS WAS THEIR TESTIMONY FOR A SEASON. THIS I SPEAK ONCE AGAIN

TO YOUR COMING DAYS, MONTHS, AND YES, YEARS, BECAUSE NOW IT'S

TIME FOR THE SPOILS OF WAR TO BE GIVEN, SAYS THE LIVING GOD.

FATHER, WE WORSHIP YOU. COME ON, WORSHIP HIM. THIS IS A HOLY

MOMENT BEFORE GOD. HE'S WANTING FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S

SAYING. HIS PERSPECTIVE IS THE GREATEST PERSPECTIVE. HIS VOICE

TRIUMPHS OVER THE LIES, THE FABRICATION, THE EVIL, THE

DARKNESS. THE VOICE OF THE LORD LET IT THUNDER IN THE EARTH.

(MUSIC)

WE WORSHIP AND HONOR THE LIVING GOD.

TAKE A BREATH. BREATHE IN. SOME OF YOU, YOU'RE GETTING FREE FROM

SOME OF THE ANXIETY, THE PANIC, THE TRAUMA, THE FEAR. THANK YOU,

LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. IF YOU HAVE A SONG, SING IT. WE'RE NOT

IN A HURRY, WE CAME FOR GOD.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

WE WORSHIP YOU

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

SING IN THE SPIRIT, YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. AROUND THE WORLD

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

I WORSHIP YOU. I WORSHIP YOU. I WORSHIP YOU. COME ON, IF YOU

NEED HEALING IN YOUR BODY, YOU JUST TOUCH YOUR BODY RIGHT NOW.

YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. IT'S YOUR COVENANT. IT'S HIS

COVENANT. IT'S OUR COVENANT TOGETHER. COME ON, SAY, "LORD,

TOUCH MY BODY." LET EVERY SYMPTOM, EVERY DISEASE, EVERY

INFIRMITY BE DRIVEN OUT BY THE FINGER OF GOD. IF YOU NEED PEACE

TODAY, SAY, "LORD, I RECEIVE PEACE." I WANT TO DO THIS. IF

YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM TODAY AND YOU'VE NEVER BEEN FILLED WITH

THE HOLY SPIRIT, WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN OTHER

TONGUES, I FEEL VERY PROMPTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. SOME OF YOU

HAVE BEEN PUTTING IT OFF. YOU NEED TO RUN DOWN HERE. I'M NOT

EVEN GONNA SAY, "CAN I SEE SOME HANDS?" THIS IS A BOLD

GENERATION. IF YOU'RE NOT BOLD ABOUT THE THINGS OF GOD, THEN

YOU'RE BOLD ABOUT THE WRONG THINGS. COME ON, COME DOWN HERE.

RUN, RUN. YOU'VE NEVER BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES? COME, COME QUICKLY. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD,

GOOD, GOOD. KEEP COMING, KEEP COMING, KEEP COMING. I WANT SOME

ALTAR WORKERS RIGHT NOW TO COME BEHIND THEM, TO COME WITH THEM.

GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS YOU.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WHY DO I SEE PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE LEADER OF NORTH KOREA?

THEY SHALL SHAKE HANDS OF AN AGREEMENT, OF A MEETING, AND NO,

THE CAMERAS WILL NOT SHOW YOU WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE. THAT WHICH

SHALL BRING A STRANGLEHOLD

UPON THE EFFORTS AND DESIRES OF CHINA.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

THE EARTH IS BEING RESET. NO POLITICIAN, NO ENTITY WILL STAND

BEFORE GOD. YOU ARE NOT GREATER THAN ELOHIM. PASTOR BRENDA,

WOULD YOU COME? YOU'RE BRILLIANT AT LEADING OUR ONLINE PEOPLE AND

THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. THANK YOU FOR BEING BOLD TO COME.

THERE IS A MAN YET YOU'RE WAITING AGAIN. GOD IS SAYING NOW

COME. YOU REASON TOO MUCH IN YOUR HEAD, THE LORD SAYS. YOU'RE

A MAN. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A CHANCE. COME ON. BE BOLD FOR

GOD. BE BOLD FOR YOURSELF. WATCH YOUR WHOLE CHRISTIANITY SHIFT

FOR A DEEPER, DEEPER EXPERIENCE WITH GOD. WHO ARE YOU, SIR? RUN,

RUN TO THE FRONT. DON'T DELAY. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU ONE MORE

CHANCE, COME ON. I CAN SEE YOU, SIR. YOU NEED TO RUN. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN. LORD, I PRAY YOU'D PUT

SOMETHING NOT ONLY IN HIS MOUTH, IN THE UTTERANCE OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT'S BAPTISM, BUT PUT SOMETHING IN HIS HANDS OF A

FINANCIAL REWARD AND BLESSING AS PROOF THAT WHEN YOU STEP OUT,

GOD STEPS IN WITH BLESSING. GO AHEAD, PASTOR BRENDA. AMEN,

WELL, WE'RE GONNA STRETCH OUR HANDS TOWARD THESE. YOU KNOW,

GETTING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE MAKE IT

REALLY DIFFICULT IN THE CHURCH, BUT IT'S AS EASY AS RECEIVING

JESUS AS SAVIOR. NOW, EACH OF YOU, HAVE YOU RECEIVED JESUS AS

SAVIOR? ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, JESUS IS THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. AND

WE'RE GONNA JUST MAKE SURE SO THAT THE ENEMY, NOW YOU MAY KNOW

YOU'RE SAVED, BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THE ENEMY, 'CAUSE SOMETIMES

THE DEVIL WILL COME AND TELL PEOPLE, "YEAH, YOU'RE A

CHRISTIAN, BUT YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF IT." THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A

GIFT. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ACTS 2 IN VERSE 38 AND 39, IT SAYS,

"THIS PROMISE IS TO YOU, TO YOUR CHILDREN, "TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR

OFF." TO EVERY GENERATION, IT IS GOD'S GIFT. SO JUST TO MAKE

SURE, YOUR HEAD IS CLEAR, YOUR HEART IS CLEAR. PRAY THIS WITH

ME AND THEY'RE GONNA ALL PRAY IT OUT LOUD. SAY IT, MEAN IT WITH

ALL YOUR HEART. SAY, "DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, I THANK YOU.

"JESUS DIED FOR ME AND HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD "SO THAT I COULD

BE FORGIVEN OF ALL SIN. SO LORD, FORGIVE ME OF EVERY SIN IN MY

LIFE. I REPENT, JESUS, I MAKE YOU THE LORD OF MY LIFE TO LIVE

ON THE THRONE OF MY HEART. I COMMIT MYSELF TO YOU AND

THEREFORE I'M YOUR CHILD. I'M A CHRISTIAN AND THE DEVIL HAS

NOTHING ON ME BECAUSE I'M COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS."

NOW, IF YOU PRAYED THAT AND YOU MEAN THAT, YOU ARE A CANDIDATE

TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. NOW, HERE'S WHAT I

ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE. WHEN YOU ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO FILL YOU, HE

DOES, OKAY? THE BIBLE SAYS, "IF YOU ASK FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD

WILL GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT." NOW, IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, WHEN THEY

WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME,

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT STORY? AND THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME AND FILLED

THEM, AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE HOLY GHOST RESTED ON EACH OF

THEM, AND THEY, TOUCH YOURSELVES, SAY THAT MEANS ME,

MEANS ALL OF US, THEY, THAT'S YOU, BEGAN TO SPEAK. SO THE HOLY

SPIRIT, HE'S NOT GONNA COME AND KNOCK YOU DOWN. I MEAN, HE

COULD, I GUESS.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

I'VE SEEN SOME CRAZY THINGS, BUT YOU KNOW, HE IS GONNA EXPECT YOU

TO STEP OUT AND OPEN YOUR MOUTH, RIGHT? WE HAVE TO OPEN OUR

MOUTH. SO WHEN YOU ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO FILL YOU TODAY, WHAT

I'M GONNA ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO IS JUST MOVE YOUR MOUTH AND MOVE

YOUR TONGUE. AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. IT

COULD JUST BE SYLLABLES OR SOUNDS, BUT YOU JUST YIELD. DO

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING ABOUT THAT? YOU JUST YIELD TO

THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT SAID, "THEY BEGAN TO SPEAK IN TONGUES,"

MEANING THEY HAD TO OPEN THEIR MOUTH AND ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT

TO FILL THAT. SO, I WANT YOU TO PRAY THIS PRAYER. SAY, "NOW,

HOLY SPIRIT, I AM ASKING YOU TO BAPTIZE ME. FILL ME WITH YOUR

SPIRIT TO OVERFLOWING." AND JUST LIKE THE BOOK OF ACTS, I FULLY

EXPECT TO BEGIN SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES, JUST LIKE THEY

DID IN JESUS' NAME. NOW, I WANT YOU TO BEGIN, DON'T FOCUS ON

ANYBODY IN HERE OR ME. JUST BEGIN TO MOVE YOUR MOUTH, CLOSE

YOUR EYES, THINK ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. THOSE OF YOU ONLINE AND

ALL OF YOU IN HERE, BEGIN TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT. AND IF

THAT'S YOU ON THE INTERNET, AND YOU'RE BEING FILLED WITH THE

HOLY SPIRIT, BEGIN TO MOVE YOUR MOUTH AND MOVE YOUR TONGUE. KO

LA LA LA LA. COME ON, JUST IF IT'S JUST A SYLLABLE, DON'T

SPEAK ANYTHING IN YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE. JUST MOVE YOUR MOUTH.

LET THE SOUNDS JUST KIND OF COME OUT. AND THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKES

THOSE WORDS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, AND HE FILLS YOU WITH THE

UTTERANCE OF THE SPIRIT. HE TAKES WHAT IS YOUR BABBLINGS AND

MAKES THEM A LANGUAGE UP TO GOD. SO DO IT IF YOU'RE BOLD ENOUGH

TO DO IT WHERE YOUR EARS CAN HEAR YOU.

HALLELUJAH. COME ON, EVERYBODY IN HERE THAT IS FILLED WITH

THE SPIRIT, COME ON, PRAY IN YOUR OWN HEAVENLY LANGUAGE.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

..THEY ALL SPEAK IN TONGUES. COME ON GIVE THEM A HAND.

NOW LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE COACHING ON PRAYING IN THE

SPIRIT. HAVE ANYBODY THAT'S IN HERE, OR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, EVER TRIED TO LEARN SPANISH OR FRENCH OR LEARN

ANOTHER LANGUAGE? NOW, SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS NOT LEARNING A

LANGUAGE. IT'S JUST YIELDING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH OUR MOUTH

AND TONGUES. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS 8, THAT HE GIVES US

GROANING THAT CANNOT BE UTTERED. THAT WORD MEANS IN NATURAL

SPEECH. IT'S JUST BABBLING SOUNDS, IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.

BUT I'VE ALSO LEARNED THAT IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING CONSISTENTLY,

WE DON'T BECOME PROFICIENT. AND IT'S JUST LIKE I TOOK HOW MANY

SPANISH CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I STILL DON'T SPEAK SPANISH.

IT'S BECAUSE, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS? IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T

USE IT. AND SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU EVERY DAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN

IT'S NEW, YOU HAVE TO DO IT MORE. NOW, IF YOU TALK TO PASTOR

MIKE, HE SPEAKS SPANISH PROFICIENTLY, BUT HE SPEAKS

ENGLISH. OKAY, HE'S DONE IT SO LONG, NOW IT JUST COMES. AND

THIS IS, YOU'RE STILL NEW. AND SO THE LORD IS ENCOURAGING YOU

EVERY DAY, SPEAK IN TONGUES. SAY, WHAT IF I'M JUST MAKING IT

UP, PASTOR BRENDA? WHAT IF I'M JUST MAKING SOUNDS AND IT'S JUST

ME? WELL, I'M SURE THEY THOUGHT THAT IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, RIGHT?

OKAY, THEY BROUGHT, 'CAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THERE IN THE BOOK

OF ACTS THAT THOUGHT THOSE PEOPLE WERE JUST DRUNK AND

ACTING LIKE FOOLS, OKAY? BUT WHEN YOU DO IT ON A REGULAR

BASIS, YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE TO DO IF THE DEVIL OR MY OWN HEAD

SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE JUST MAKING THAT UP, IT'S STUPID.

IT'S FOOLISH. THEN I'D SAY, WELL, I'M GONNA DO IT MORE. I'M

GONNA DO IT A LITTLE EXTRA. I'M GONNA DO IT ANOTHER FIVE

MINUTES. AND YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY YOU PRAY IN TONGUES

AND GET AROUND PEOPLE THAT PRAY IN TONGUES, YOU'LL BECOME

PROFICIENT AT PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT, BUT IT BECOMES BY

ACTIVATION. IT COMES BY DOING ON A REGULAR BASIS. SO LET'S DO IT

ONE MORE TIME. EVERYBODY PRAY IN THE

SPIRIT. GIVE THEM ONE MORE MOMENT.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

ALL RIGHT, GIVE THEM A GREAT BIG HAND. GIVE GOD A GREAT BIG

PRAISE. NOW THOSE OF YOU THAT CAME UP, AND IF YOU'RE ONLINE,

YOU WRITE US. IF YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE'LL SEND YOU SOME

MATERIAL. WE HAVE A LITTLE BOOKLET THAT WE WROTE ON HELPING

YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY AND BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

IT'S LIKE GETTING SAVED. WHEN YOU FIRST GET BORN AGAIN, YOU

NEED TO DEVELOP THAT. AND SO THIS IS THE SAME THING. SO WE'RE

HERE TO ENCOURAGE YOU IN THAT, AMEN? THANK YOU FOR COMING UP

TODAY AND BEING RECEPTIVE AND RECEIVING, AMEN? ALL RIGHT, GIVE

THEM ONE LAST HAND AS THE ALTAR TEAM MINISTERS TO THEM. AND THEN

LET'S DO THIS. LET'S TURN AROUND TO A COUPLE OF PEOPLE IN THE

CHURCH AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? IT IS GOOD TO BE IN A SPIRIT

FILLED HOUSE. AMEN. LOVE ON SOMEBODY. LET'S GREET ONE

ANOTHER IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

(MUSIC)

WELL, GOOD MORNING. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME IN THE BUILDING

WITH US, WE WANNA MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME. I ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE

YOU RECEIVED A BLUE GIFT BAG WHEN YOU CAME INSIDE THE DOOR.

YOU WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE 'CAUSE WE HAVE SOME GOODIES IN

IT IN SPANISH, BUT NOPE, NOPE. WELL, SEE, I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT.

SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT. I'D BUTCHER IT. I CAN'T

SPEAK SPANISH. SO, 18 DAYS AWAY FROM? WATCH THIS. ONE VICTORY

CHANGED EVERYTHING. HIS ROAR SHAKES THE NATIONS. HIS KINGDOM

IS ADVANCING. AND HIS PEOPLE ARE STANDING. THIS SEPTEMBER, IT'S

TIME TO TAKE YOUR PLACE. PLANT YOUR FEET AND RAISE YOUR EYES

BECAUSE THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE KING AND HEAVEN IS OPENING.

(MUSIC)

WE ARE NOT BOLD ENOUGH WITH THE DEVIL. WE'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH

AGAINST THE POWERS OF HELL. TAKE UP YOUR SWORD AND TAKE AUTHORITY

OVER THE EVIL SPIRITS. WE REFUSE TO COWER. WE REFUSE TO

BOW. WE REFUSE TO BREAK. WE REFUSE TO BEND. WE REFUSE TO

COMPROMISE. WE ARE SAYING WHEN THE ENEMY COMES IN LIKE A FLOOD,

LORD, YOU WILL GIVE YOUR PEOPLE A BACKBONE.

OPENING THE HEAVENS CONFERENCE TAKING PLACE SEPTEMBER 10TH

THROUGH THE 13TH REGISTER TODAY AT OPENINGTHEHEAVENS.ORG.

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE EXCITED? ARE YOU

REGISTERED? LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY,

"YOU BETTER BE REGISTERED OR ELSE." AND DON'T SAY WHAT ELSE

IS 'CAUSE THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU WHAT TO DO. DON'T SAY WHAT ELSE

JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU WHAT TO DO. AND IF THEY HAVEN'T

REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF HOLY HEADLOCKS, NO, DON'T DO THAT. BY

THE WAY, SPANISH, SIETE OCHO. DID YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT I

JUST SAID? DON'T GO LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW THAT WAS 18. HOW DO YOU

WHAT WE SAID. ALL RIGHT, WELL, 18 DAYS, OR WHAT I JUST SAID IN

SPANISH, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MAKE SURE YOU GET

HERE, IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT TIME. MAN, GOD KEEPS CHANGING MY

MESSAGE. I MEAN, AS I START GOING DOWN A CERTAIN ROAD, HE'S

LIKE, HE'S ADJUSTING IT. ALL RIGHT, WELL, BEFORE PASTOR

BRENDA COMES, TODAY IS A VERY SPECIAL DAY. 33 YEARS AGO, OUR

FIRSTBORN, MATTHEW, WAS BORN. AND WE ARE SO THRILLED FOR THAT.

AND YEAH, IN FACT, I THOUGHT THAT HE, AND AGAIN, I THOUGHT HE

WAS GOING TO BE A GIRL. BUT THANK GOD HE'S A REAL MAN, HE'S

A FULL MAN. AND THE LORD SPOKE AND SAID, "NO, I'VE GIVEN YOU MY

GIFT." I SAID, "YOU'VE GIVEN ME YOUR GIFT," HE SAID, "AND THAT

SHALL BE HIS NAME." SO I'M TYPING IN, AND THAT WAS BEFORE

GOOGLE WAS GOOGLE. AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT NAME

MEANS THAT. AND THE NAME MATTHEW CAME UP AND BRENDA AND I, WE

SETTLED ON THIS IS WHAT GOD SAID. SO HE IS OUR GIFT. AND SO

WITH THAT, PASTOR BRENDA, WOULD YOU MAKE YOUR SON COME UP HERE?

AND OUR SON, NOT YOUR SON, OUR SON. WE'RE GONNA HONOR HIM.

MATT, WE HAD SOME LEFTOVER BALLOONS. AND SO WE DECIDED, WE

HAD THESE BALLOONS, THEY WERE FLOATING AROUND, AND SO WE

GRABBED THEM AND WE THOUGHT, HEY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, MIGHT

AS WELL PUT THESE BALLOONS TO GREAT USE. AND WE GOT YOU A

CARD, AND I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA CELEBRATE YOU TODAY, BUT WE'RE

CELEBRATING. WE'RE GONNA GO OUT TO DINNER TONIGHT, AND LIKE

USUAL, YOU CAN GET TWO OF THE MAIN ENTREES. (CONGREGATION

LAUGHING) I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA HAVE, SO. YOU PLANNED

YOURS. I'VE ALREADY PLANNED IT. I'LL CALL YOU AND TELL YOU WHAT

I'M GONNA HAVE. BUT ANYWAY, WE CELEBRATE YOU, MATT, AND YOU

REALLY ARE THE GIFT OF GOD, AND I'VE WATCHED YOU THROUGH THE

YEARS JUST REALLY GROW, AND I JUST WANNA COMMEND YOU FOR THE

JOURNEY THAT YOU'RE ON, THE JOURNEY THAT GOD HAS, AND WHAT

I'VE NOTICED ABOUT YOU. AND I'VE SAID IT TO YOU, AND I SAY IT TO

YOU. I CAN SEARCH THE WHOLE WORLD OVER, AND I'VE MET A LOT

OF PEOPLE, SON. BUT THERE'S VERY FEW THAT I COULD SAY HAVE

SOMETHING THAT MARKS YOU, AND IT'S WHAT MAKES YOU THE GIFT

THAT YOU ARE OF GOD AND FROM GOD. YOU HAVE AN AMAZING HEART.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T SEE THAT. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT

MAN LOOKS AT THE OUTWARD. AND IN THE WORLD OF JUDGING, IN THE

WORLD OF PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE AN OPINION. SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T

STOP AND LOOK FOR SOMEONE'S HEART. BUT YOU HAVE AN AMAZING

HEART THAT IS NOT HARD TO SEE. IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND. IT'S VERY

VISIBLE. AND IT'S WHAT'S MARKED YOUR LIFE. IT'S WHAT MARKED YOUR

DESTINY. IT'S WHAT'S GONNA MARK YOUR DESTINY. AND I JUST WANT

YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M PLEASED. AND I LOVE YOU. AND I'M

COMMITTED TO YOU. AMEN, AMEN. ALL RIGHT, STRETCH YOUR HANDS

TOWARDS THE MAN. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE DO THANK YOU FOR

MATTHEW, THE GIFT THAT YOU GAVE US, AND TO REALLY ALL OF US THAT

HAVE COME TO REALLY LOVE MATTHEW. AND SO LORD, THIS DAY I

PRAY THAT YOU WOULD MARK HIS LIFE FOR GREATER GREATNESS,

GREATER MANIFESTATIONS OF BLESSINGS, HEARTS DESIRES. LORD,

THAT YOU WOULD THIS DAY CAUSE HIM TO SMILE BECAUSE LORD, IT'S

A NEW SEASON NOW. AND I BELIEVE THAT IT MARKS SOMETHING THAT IS

ABOUT TO EMERGE OVER HIS LIFE, JUST LIKE YESHUA AT 33. LORD, IT

WAS A SHIFT FOR ALL OF US AS WE CELEBRATE YESHUA AND

RESURRECTION. AND I PRAY THAT OVER MATTHEW, THAT THE

SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD WOULD BRING HIM INTO A GLORIOUS NEW

SEASON, A NEW TIME TO CELEBRATE, FATHER. AND I THANK YOU FOR

THAT. AND ALSO TODAY, I PLACE AN ANOINTING OVER HIM AND OVER ALL

LORD GOD THAT IS IN HIS HEART, THE PATHS OF HIS FEET. AND I

THANK YOU. RELEASE, LORD, YOUR BLESSING NOW. CONTINUALLY GRANT

HIM HEALTH AND WHOLENESS AND LONG, LONG LIFE. AND WE

CELEBRATE HIM TODAY. PRESERVE HIM, PROTECT HIM, AND HONOR HIM,

I ASK, IN JESUS' NAME. OH, AND LORD, ONE OTHER THING. I KNOW

THAT CARD'S GOT MONEY IN IT. AND I HAVE PAID A LOT FOR THIS BOY.

AND SO, LORD, IF IT BE YOUR WILL STOP. PUTOH, MAMA SAYS

STOP. SO FATHER, I HAVE TO STOP MY PRAYER NOW. AMEN. [LAUGHTER]

LISTEN, HE'SYOU PUT UP WITH THAT YOUR WHOLE LIFE, ALL THOSE

SQUIRRELY PRAYERS. THAT'S HOW HE KNOWS THAT HIS DAD LOVES HIM.

WOULD YOU TAKE THIS, SIR? YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? I JUST

APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S SUPPORT. AND TO MOM AND DAD, TO THE

MINISTRY, AND REALLY JUST BUILDING WHAT'S BEEN HERE IS

TRULY REMARKABLE. I MEAN, I WAS ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS OLD

WHEN YOU GUYS STARTED THIS CHURCH. YOU KNOW, IT WAS

RIGHT- THREE AND A HALF YEARS OLD? IT'S PROPHETIC, TOO,

BECAUSE I MEAN, IT WAS RIGHT AFTER THE PACKERS WON THE SUPER

BOWL THAT YOU STARTED THE CHURCH. SO- NO, YOU'RE SUPPOSED

TO SAY, DAD, YOU ARE 30 YEARS OF AGE LIKE JESUS. BUT THAT'LL

MY SHEET'S OVER THERE. COUPLE THINGS TO REMEMBER. THOSE OF YOU

THAT ARE BEING BAPTIZED TODAY, RIGHT AFTER THE OFFERING, YOU

CAN MAKE YOUR WAY OUT. WHERE DO THEY MEET, PASTOR DOUG? IN THE

FOYER, RIGHT? JUST OUT HERE IN THE FOYER. I NEED GLASSES TOO,

SWEETIE, I'M SORRY. THERE WE GO. I'M TRYING TO HURRY. BAPTISM, SO

JUST BE RELEASED RIGHT OUT HERE IN THE FOYER. JUST WANT TO

REMIND EVERYBODY THAT ALSO THIS WEDNESDAY WE'RE DOING PRAYER FOR

AMERICA. AND PASTOR CHRISTY HAD HAD IT IN HER HEART THAT WE

WOULD START DOING A WEDNESDAY SPECIAL PRAYER ONCE A MONTH

LEADING UP INTO THE MIDTERMS. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU, BE PART OF

THAT. AND PASTOR AND I ARE GOING TO BE HERE. IT'S GOING TO BE

AWESOME. ALSO, MILLER DAYS IS AROUND THE CORNER, AND LORD OF

HOSTS IS GOING TO HAVE A FLOAT. AND SO WE'LL BE INPASTOR AND I

WILL BE COMING SOMEWHERE AT SOME POINT. WE HAVEN'T FIGURED IT ALL

OUT YET. I TOLD THE STAFF, I SAID, I AM NOT GOING TO BE IN

THE PARADE. I CATEGORICALLY REFUSE TO RIDE IN A CAR AND GO

LIKE THIS AT PEOPLE. I'M JUST NOT, WE ARE NOT THOSE PEOPLE.

(LAUGHING) JUST NO. ANYWAY, BUT COME DOWN, MEET AND GREET, BE

PART, REPRESENT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH, IT'D BE SO AWESOME. AND

IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION OUT THERE, OBVIOUSLY HEARD ABOUT

OTH. ALSO WANNA REMIND YOU, SEPTEMBER THE 6TH, SUNDAY NIGHT

AT 7 P.M., WE'RE STARTING OUR BRAND NEW, NEWLY INVENTED

PROPHETIC PULSE. AND SO THERE'S TONS OF PROPHECIES THAT WE'RE

GOING TO BE DOING AND GOING OVER. WE'RE GOING TO START DOING

IT MORE AS A STUDIO PROGRAM THAT WILL AIR LIVE. AND SO WE

ENCOURAGE YOU TO TUNE INTO THAT. AND WE'RE JUST STRUGGLING TO, ON

A WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE, TO SCHEDULE THAT WITH ALL THE

DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPENING. AND WE ALSO DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP

COMPETING WITH FLASHPOINT. AMAZING. BUT SUNDAY NIGHT,

THAT'S WHEN WE'RE GOING TO START DOING IT. AND THEN ALSO, AND

THAT WON'T BE A LIVE AUDIENCE, WE'LL ACTUALLY DO IT FROM THE

STUDIO. AND THEN ALSO, JUST MARK YOUR CALENDAR, OCTOBER THE 5TH,

WE'RE HOLDING A VOTE YOUR VALUES EVENT, RICK GREEN IS GONNA BE

HERE. WE'RE REALLY ENCOURAGING NEBRASKANS, BUT PEOPLE

EVERYWHERE TO VOTE. AND I THINK, COME ON, GET OUT THE VOTE. IT'S

VERY IMPORTANT. AND SO WE HAVE SOME POLITICAL CANDIDATES

THAT'LL BE HERE, AND YOU CAN LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM.

WE'LL JUST BE TALKING ABOUT THE POWER OF OUR VOTE, BECAUSE I

THINK PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE TIRED AND WEARY WITH THE

WHOLE THING, BUT WE'RE HERE TO JUST RALLY THE TROOPS. AND SO

EVEN IF YOU ARE PART OF THIS CHURCH AND YOU HEAR THIS A LOT,

COME ANYWAY, LET'S FILL THE ROOM WITH PEOPLE, AND REALLY JUST

ENCOURAGE, WE'RE SENDING OUT LETTERS AROUND THE CITY

ENCOURAGING PASTORS TO MAKE THIS KNOWN TO THEIR CONGREGATIONS AND

FOR THEM TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL. I THINK WHEN YOU CAN GET PASTORS

TO ENCOURAGE THEIR PEOPLE, IT JUST REALLY BRINGS THINGS TO A

NEXT LEVEL. SO THAT'S MONDAY, OCTOBER THE 5TH, 7 P.M. MARK IT

ON YOUR CALENDAR, AND IF ANY WAY YOU CAN BE HERE, BE PART OF IT,

AMEN? ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'RE GONNA PUT UP OUR OFFERING

SCRIPTURE AND I WANNA SHARE SOMETHING THAT HAS JUST BEEN IN

MY SPIRIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I HAD TO LIKE CHEW ON IT A LITTLE

BIT, BUT WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO MALACHI 3, AND I SAW A LITTLE

SOMETHING IN HERE, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HEARING KIND OF THIS

RUMBLING AND SEEING SOME THINGS HAPPENING IN THE BODY OF CHRIST,

AT LEAST ACROSS THIS NATION, PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW. AND HERE'S

WHAT IT SAYS, MALACHI 3, YOU KNOW THE PASSAGE, BUT I JUST

WANNA PULL OUT A COUPLE THINGS. IT SAYS, "WILL A MAN ROB GOD,

YET YOU SAY, WELL," AND HE SAID, "YET YOU HAVE ROBBED ME, BUT YOU

SAY, WELL, HOW, LORD, HAVE WE ROBBED YOU?" AND HE SAYS, "IN

TITHES AND OFFERINGS." NOW HERE'S THE PART I WANT YOU TO

SEE. YOU'RE CURSED WITH A CURSE, FOR YOU'VE ROBBED ME, AND THEN

SEE THIS LAST PART, EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION. AND I JUST BEGAN

TO CHEW ON THIS SCRIPTURE, BECAUSE HERE'S WHAT I DON'T

THINK THE VERSE IS SAYING. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SAY, "OH, IF YOU

DON'T TITHE AND GIVE YOUR OFFERINGS, YOU'RE CURSED." HOW

MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT? AND I DON'T THINK IT'S SO MUCH

THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT'S TRYING TO SAY. SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY,

"WELL, WE'RE REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE." BUT REALLY THE BIBLE IN

GALATIANS SAYS, "WE'RE REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW."

WELL, WHAT WAS THE CURSE OF THE LAW? THE CURSE OF THE LAW IS IF

YOU CAN'T KEEP GOD'S WORD PERFECTLY, THEN YOU'RE UNDER THE

CURSE, OKAY? THAT'S WHAT GRACE WAS ABOUT. THAT'S WHY WE NEEDED

JESUS TO COME AND SHED HIS BLOOD, BECAUSE THERE'S NO

POSSIBLE WAY, RIGHT, THAT WE CAN KEEP GOD'S WORD PERFECTLY. BUT I

DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT'S WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT. WE'RE

REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, BUT THERE'S STILL WHAT IS

CALLED THE CURSE OF THE GROUND. OKAY, THAT'S WHY, LADIES, YOU

CLEAN YOUR HOUSE SPICK AND SPAN, AND IN A WEEK IT'S DUSTY AGAIN.

RIGHT? THAT'S WHY YOU MOW THE LAWN AND THERE'S STILL WEEDS

COME. OKAY? BECAUSE THERE'S STILL WHAT'S CALLED THE EARTH

CURSE, OR THE CURSE OF THE GROUND. BUT I DON'T BELIEVE, GO

BACK TO THAT VERSE NINE, LET'S JUST CAMP THERE FOR A MINUTE.

YOU'RE CURSED WITH A CURSE. I DON'T BELIEVE GOD'S UP THERE

SAYING, "I AM GONNA RELEASE UPON YOU THE EARTH CURSE "'CAUSE YOU

DON'T TITHE." GOD IS NOT LIKE THAT. OKAY, GOD IS A, YOU KNOW,

NOT TITHING IS NOT LIKE THE UNPARDONABLE SIN. HERE'S WHAT I

BELIEVE HE WAS SAYING. NOTICE HE SAYS, "EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION."

GOD HERE, I BELIEVE, IS TALKING TO A COLLECTIVE GROUP OF PEOPLE

THAT HE'S SAYING A LACK OF TITHING IS MAKING A SPACE FOR

THE CURSE TO OPERATE AGAINST THE CHURCH, AGAINST HIS CHURCH. NOW

LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN VERSE 10. WE'LL GO BACK TO THAT. EVEN THIS

WHOLE NATION. NOW, SO THINK A LITTLE COLLECTIVE. DON'T JUST

THINK, WELL, IF I DON'T TITHE, I'M CURSED. I DON'T WANT YOU TO

THINK LIKE THAT. NOW, SURE, NOT ATTACHING OUR FINANCES TO THE

THINGS OF GOD, THE GOD FACTOR, CAN MAKE US OPEN, PRAY FOR THE

ENEMY. HOW MANY OF YOU WILL BELIEVE THAT? OKAY, WE NEED TO

CONNECT OUR FINANCIAL SELF OR OUR FINANCES TO SPIRITUAL

THINGS. OKAY, JESUS TAUGHT THAT. HE SAID, "LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES

TREASURES IN HEAVEN WHERE THE MOTH CAN'T CORRUPT IT, RIGHT?

NEITHER CAN THIEVES BREAK THROUGH AND STEAL." IN OTHER

WORDS, THE DEVIL, THERE'S AN ELEMENT WHERE YOU PRESERVE YOUR

FINANCIAL FUTURE AND YOUR FINANCIAL SELF, YOU PRESERVE IT

THROUGH GIVING IN TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. BUT HE SAYS, "BRING THE

TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE." NOW WATCH THIS, "THAT THERE MIGHT BE

MEAT IN MY HOUSE." I WROTE IT IN THE MARGIN OF MY BIBLE YEARS AGO

AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS MEANT SUFFICIENCY OR SUPPLY.

NOW, HERE IS SOMETHING I'VE NOTICED AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU

HAVE ALL NOTICED IT, BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE'S JUST BEEN, I DON'T

KNOW, I JUST HAVE THIS SENSE WHEN I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A

DEVIL, THERE'S A DEVIL, THERE'S A DEVIL. THERE'S A DEVIL ON THE

LOOSE. AND WE HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH A FEW DIFFERENT MINISTRIES,

THEY'RE LIKE, MAN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE FINANCES ARE UNDER

ATTACK. NOW I KNOW THIS IS TRUE WITH PEOPLE, WITH THE ECONOMY,

PEOPLE'S FINANCES HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK. YOU KNOW, MONEY

DOESN'T GROW ON TREES, RIGHT? WE KNOW THAT, WE HAVE TO EARN EVERY

DOLLAR, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE ONLY GETTING MORE

EXPENSIVE. OF COURSE, I WENT AND BOUGHT SOME EGGS THE OTHER DAY,

I'M LIKE, MAN, I'M GLAD THEY'RE NOT 12 BUCKS. THINK I WENT TO

FAIRWAY, THEY WERE LIKE $1.70 OR SOMETHING. THEY WERE CHEAP, THEY

WERE CHEAP. I'M LIKE, WOW, I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS A BUCK AN

EGG. THINK ABOUT THAT, WHO'D HAVE EVER THOUGHT? BUT, YOU

KNOW, SO SOME THINGS HAVE PANNED OUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND ALL

OF THAT, BUT THE POINT BEING IS, SO I JUST NOTICED A LOT OF

MINISTRIES, WE TALKED WITH ONE MINISTRY RECENTLY, THE SENIOR

PASTOR HADN'T HAD A PAYCHECK IN, I DON'T KNOW, THREE WEEKS OR

THREE MONTHS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN, BUT A LONG

TIME, 'CAUSE THE MEAT HAS BEEN DOWN. AND SO YOU SAID, "BRING

THE TITHES THAT THERE MAY BE A SUPPLY IN MY HOUSE." TALKED TO

ANOTHER MINISTRY, THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO

GO FORWARD WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS THEY'RE TRYING TO DO.

AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS DEMONIC. THAT IS DEMONIC. HOW

MANY OF YOU WOULD AGREE? THAT IS THE ENEMY. AND I BELIEVE ONE OF

THE WAYS THE DEVIL GAINS, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY BELIEF

THAT THE CHURCH OUGHT TO BE THE MOST INFLUENTIAL IN THE WORLD.

YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE SAY, "OH, THOSE MEGA CHURCHES, "THEY'RE

JUST RAKING IN THE MONEY." BUT THEY DON'T CARE IF DISNEY IS, OR

THE NFL. IT'S AMAZING TO ME. THAT'S JUST A BUNCH OF GARBAGE.

OR THE MUSLIMS, THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME SAY THAT. IN FACT,

THINKING ABOUT, AND SO I THOUGHT THIS CURSE, EVEN THIS WHOLE

NATION, THAT WHEN THE CHURCH LACKS SUPPLY, IT MAKES ROOM FOR

THE CURSE COLLECTIVELY TO OPERATE. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE

BEEN TRACKING WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH RICK GREEN? ANYBODY

WATCH THAT WHERE HE HAS THESE DORMITORIES, HELP MAKE SURE I

SAY IT RIGHT, THAT THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE PART OF

THEIR PATRIOT ACADEMY. THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE

THEM, AND PROBABLY IF IT WAS JUST UP TO FINANCES AND THEY HAD

THE MILLIONS LAYING IN THE BANK, I IMAGINE KNOWING RICK, HE

PROBABLY WOULD HAVE JUST JUMPED THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT YOU KIND OF

HAVE TO THINK, YOU KNOW, CAN WE DO IT, CAN WE NOT, WE GOTTA BE

SENSIBLE. AND AT THAT TIME HE SAID, WELL, WE'LL WAIT ON THAT.

WELL, A RADICAL MUSLIM GROUP JUST CAME IN TRYING TO PURCHASE

THAT PROPERTY. THOSE OF YOU THAT TRACK WITH HIM, AND THEY TALKED

ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ON FLASHPOINT, THEY ARE MAKING A

MASS EMERGENCY APPEAL. YOU'VE BEEN TRACKING WITH IT, KAREN,

PROBABLY. A MASS EMERGENCY APPEAL TO CHURCHES AND PEOPLE

EVERYWHERE TO SAY WE CANNOT LET THESE RADICAL, LIKE HERE WOULD

BE PATRIOT ACADEMY, AND THEN RIGHT THERE WOULD BE THESE

MUSLIMS. THEY'RE COUNTERING EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING. AND BY

THE WAY, WE KNOW GOOD AND WELL ONE OF THE BIGGEST THREATS RIGHT

NOW IS ISLAM. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S CREPT UP ON US WHEN WE BOUGHT

THIS SOUTH BUILDING. THIS, THERE WAS AN ISLAMIC TRAINING CENTER

THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO INSTALL IN THAT PROPERTY. AND WE, THEY

HAD A LITTLE SCHOOL OVER THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. AND WE'D SEE

THE LITTLE KIDS OUT THERE MARCHING AROUND ON THAT EMPTY

LOT RIGHT DOWN HERE. AND PASTOR SAID, HE HAD A WORD FROM THE

LORD. AND TOLD PASTOR DOUG, HE SAID, I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO

JUMP ON IT. WE NEED TO GET THIS BUILDING NOW. AND OF COURSE,

THAT SCHOOL'S LONG GONE. WE OWN THE BUILDING. WE DO NEED TO PAY

IT OFF, BY THE WAY, BUT WE OWN IT. AND YOU KNOW, SO THESE ARE

JUST ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES I KNOW OUT, YOU KNOW, THE STORY OF THE

PIZZA BUILDING WHEN THEY WERE LOOKING TO PUT UP APARTMENTS.

FOLKS, WHEN WE HAVE FOREIGN ENTITIES, THINK ABOUT THIS,

TRYING TO BUY UP PROPERTY IN NEBRASKA, BY THE WAY. AND I'M

LIKE, WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES BILL GATES NEED PROPERTY IN

NEBRASKA? YOU KNOW, AND OH YES, IN FACT, THANK YOU. BUT THE

POINT BEING IS I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE OF A LACK OF SUPPLY,

OKAY, THERE'S BEEN SOMETHING ATTACKING THE CHURCH, AND NOT

OURS, I'M JUST TALKING COLLECTIVELY NOW, THAT IS TRYING

TO ATTACK, I KNOW ONE OTHER MINISTRY THAT'S VERY INFLUENTIAL

IN THE COUNTRY THAT THEY'RE SAYING, MAN, OUR SUPPLY'S BEEN

DOWN. IT MAKES ME SAY, OKAY, THERE'S A COLLECTIVE DEMONIC

EFFORT TO STRIP THE CHURCHES OR THE MINISTRY OF ITS SUPPLY SO

THAT THE CURSE, RIGHT, YOU CURSE WITH A CURSE. IT'S IN OTHER

WORDS, WHEN THE MEAT'S DOWN, THE CURSE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO

FLOW. ARE YOU TRACKING WITH ME? OKAY, IF YOU HAVE MILLIONS

LAYING IN THE BANK, YOU COULD JUST WALK IN AND SAY, SEE, THIS

IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY'RE USING THEIR MILLIONS, THEY'RE

USING THEIR MEAT AND THEIR SUPPLY FOR EVIL THINGS. THE

CHURCH NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO USE AND HAVE ITS SUPPLY TO DO GREAT

THINGS THAT ARE OF A RIGHTEOUS, HOLY NATURE. (APPLAUSE)

AND SO WE'RE COMING AGAINST THAT. I LOVE WHAT PASTOR

JUST SAID A FEW MOMENTS AGO ABOUT, COME ON, THERE'S NO LACK

ON GOD'S PART. WHAT THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO DO IS STRIP MY

COVENANT RIGHTS. HE'S TRYING TO STRIP MY SIDE OF THE COVENANT.

AND YOU KNOW, SO I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS. I THOUGHT, NO, YOU KNOW,

WE'RE GONNA GET THIS SHILOH PROPERTY. BY THE WAY, WE'RE

STILL NEGOTIATING AND WORKING SOME THINGS OUT. WE WANT A GOOD

DEAL. AND IT'S GONNA BE RIGHT. IT'S GONNA BE DONE. IT'S GONNA

BE STRUCTURED THE WAY WE NEED IT TO BE. BUT CAN I TELL YOU, IF WE

HAD ALL THE MONEY IN THE BANK FOR THAT ALREADY, SITTING THERE,

WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE QUITE SO PICKY. WE WOULD JUST BE ABLE TO

JUMP IN AND GO, HERE'S A CHECK. COME ON, I BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT

GOD WANTS TO BRING THE CHURCH INTO. THIS IS THE TIME TO SUPPLY

THE HOUSE OF GOD. AND SO WE TOLD THIS ONE MINISTER, I SAID, YEAH,

WELL, IF I WERE TO BE REAL, JULY AND AUGUST HAVE BEEN TWO, I

ACTUALLY WENT AND LOOKED AGAIN THIS MORNING. JULY AND AUGUST

HAVE BEEN TWO OF THE LOWEST MONTHS WE'VE HAD IN THE HISTORY

OF THIS CHURCH, WELL, AT LEAST IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. NOW, CAN

YOU SAY THAT THAT'S DEMONIC? OKAY, AND I BELIEVE WE NEED TO

FIX IT. AND SO I'M JUST GONNA APPEAL TODAY THAT THERE MAY BE

MEAT IN MY HOUSE. LET'S GET THE MEAT UP BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SHILOH

TO DEAL WITH. AND BY THE WAY, I WOULD HELP, I WANNA HELP RICK.

OKAY, THERE IS NO REASON HIS PROPERTY SHOULD SIT THERE RIGHT

ON HIS DOORSTEP AND GO INTO THE HANDS OF A MUSLIM RADICAL GROUP.

FOLKS, WE GOT TO BUILD, AND I'M GONNA APPEAL TO EVERYBODY

ONLINE. IF LORD OF HOSTS IS YOUR CHURCH, WE NEED TO GET THE MEAT

UP. IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER CHURCH AND THEY'RE BIBLE PREACHING AND

BOLD, THEN PUT THE MEAT IN THAT HOUSE. IT IS TIME TO BUILD THE

MEAT OF THE STOREHOUSE OF GOD. FOLKS, WE COME ON, WE GOTTA BE

ARMED FOR THE BATTLE. WE GOT TO BE ARMED FOR THE BATTLE IN EVERY

WAY POSSIBLE, ON THE AIRWAVES. BY THE WAY, THIS CHURCH IS

WORKING ON WAYS WE CAN GET ON. THAT'S ANOTHER THANKS TO PASTOR

MATT AND ANTHONY TOGETHER. YOU GUYS WORKED HARD TO GET US DOWN

WITH THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES, AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T WANNA DO

NO BASEBALL. IT'S HOT DOWN THERE. MILLER DAYS, I DON'T

WANNA BE IN THE FLOW. BUT FOLKS, WE GOTTA GET OUT THESE WALLS,

AND IT'S NOT JUST HANDING OUT TRACKS AND STREET EVANGELISM,

THAT'S IMPORTANT, THAT'S ONE PART, BUT WE GOTTA GET OUT

THERE. FOLKS, IT'S TIME. WE NEED TO TAKE OVTV TO A 24/7 NETWORK

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY OUT THERE. COME ON, PUTTING ON PROGRAMS

EVERY SINGLE HOUR OF EVERY DAY. WE HAVE SUCH A, CAN I TELL YOU

ANOTHER WAY? WE RESIST THE CURSE. CHILDREN'S MATERIAL, IN

FACT, WE'RE EXCITED. OTH, WE'RE GONNA RELEASE THE FIRST GRANNY

Z, THE GREAT Z, I CAN'T WAIT. I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT, I DON'T

KNOW. SHE'S SUPER UGLY, SO I JUST WANNA SEE THE SHOW. BUT

FOLKS, WE HAVE FOUR MORE FILMS RIGHT ON THE DECK. WE JUST NEED

THE MEAT. WE CAN'T HAVE THE TWO LOWEST MONTH OF THE MINISTRY

THAT WE'VE HAD IN FIVE YEARS AND PUT OUT THE INFLUENCE. COME ON,

THE CARTOONS TODAY ARE DISGUSTING. WE NEED THE MEAT IN

GOD'S HOUSE. IT'S TIME TO HAVE THE MEAT. AND COME ON, WE'RE

EXCITED TO DO IT. PASTOR AND I DON'T MIND GOING TO THE FRONT

LINE OF THE BATTLE. YOU KNOW YOUR PASTOR, HE DOESN'T MIND

GETTING OUT THERE AND TALKING STRONG TO THE CAMERA AND

SPEAKING UP AGAINST THE LIBERAL MEDIA. WE DON'T MIND GETTING OUT

THERE. HE WORKS HOURS UPON HOURS UPON HOURS ON CHILDREN'S STUFF,

WATCHES OVER IT TO MAKE SURE IT'S PURE, TO MAKE SURE IT'S

HOLY, TO MAKE SURE THE LIBERALS CAN'T GET IT. BUT WE GOTTA HIRE

SCREENWRITERS, WE GOTTA HIRE STORYTELLERS. THERE'S A LOT,

IT'S NOT JUST PASTOR IN THE BASEMENT ANYMORE DRAWING

CARTOONS. AND BY THE WAY, WE LOVE NORRIS HALL, BUT HE CAN'T

DO IT ALL. IF THE MEAT WAS THERE, THIS STUFF WOULD BE ALL

OVER PURE FLIX AND ALL OVER EVERYWHERE ALREADY, BUT WE NEED

THE MEAT, FOLKS. WE NEED THE MEAT. COME ON, MINISTRIES

EVERYWHERE NEED THE MEAT IN HIS HOUSE. SO LET'S PUT THE OFFERING

INFORMATION UP. I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT

TODAY. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, LET'S RESIST THIS CURSE.

IN FACT, I WANNA GET THIS SHILOH THING WRAPPED UP. I WANNA MOVE

FORWARD. I DON'T WANNA MOVE FORWARD WITH INTREPIDATION

'CAUSE I'M LIKE WORRIED ABOUT THE SUPPLY. COME ON, AMEN? LET'S

DO IT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW THE REST OF IT. GOD SAID

HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU. IF YOU PUT HIS HOUSE FIRST, HE'LL TAKE

CARE OF IT. SO HERE'S WHAT I'M ASKING EVERYBODY TO DO TODAY. IN

ADDITION TO YOUR REGULAR GIVING, LET'S PUT IT IN THE BUILDING

FUND. WE CAN DO THAT 'CAUSE I CAN TAKE FROM THE BUILDING FUND

AND WE CAN BUY A PROPERTY. IF WE HAD 3 MILLION TODAY THAT WENT

INTO THE BUILDING FUND, LET'S GET IT DONE, MAN. WE'RE GONNA

GET IT DONE. AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T WANT SOME OTHER GROUP. AND

I THOUGHT OF THIS, I THINK PASTOR HAS, WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT

IT. I DON'T NEED ANOTHER GROUP BUYING UP THAT PROPERTY. AND BY

THE WAY, THE ONLY REASON WE HAVEN'T TOLD YOU THE ADDRESS,

'CAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN. WE DON'T

NEED SOME GROUP. WE'RE GONNA TELL YOU, BUT IT'S GONNA BE

UNDER CONTRACT. BUT FOLKS, I NEED TO GET IT UNDER CONTRACT.

SO THERE'S THE CAMPUS BUILDING PROJECT, PUT IT THERE. AND LET'S

GET THIS DONE. WE NEED TO CHANGE THE GAME TODAY AND PUT THE MEAT

BACK IN GOD'S HOUSE. SO IF MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE AN EXTRA 100, 500

TO THE BUILDING FUND TODAY, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

ONLINE. AND BY THE WAY, THIS PASTOR THAT I HEARD, THAT NOT

ABLE TO TAKE A PAYCHECK, COME ON, MOST OF YOU'D QUIT YOUR JOBS

IF YOU COULDN'T TAKE A PAYCHECK. AND I HAVE THIS PASTOR FRIEND

THAT I HAPPEN TO KNOW NOT TAKING A PAYCHECK. COME ON, LET'S GIVE

TODAY AND I'M GOING TO SEND THAT PERSON AN OFFERING AND WE'RE

GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR PAYCHECK.

COME ON SOMEBODY. CAN WE ALL DO SOMETHING TOGETHER? AND SO IF

YOU HAVE THE MEANS, MAYBE YOU COULD SAY, HEY, I COULD GIVE A

HUNDRED THOUSAND A DAY TO THE BUILDING PROJECT, OR YOU'RE HERE

AND YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, PASTOR BRENDA, I CAN THROW IN

THREE OR $500. MAYBE YOU CAN THROW IN A HUNDRED DOLLARS.

THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO. IF EVERYBODY THAT WATCHES THIS, THE

THOUSANDS THAT WATCH, WE COULD FILL THE MEAT BACK UP IN THIS

HOUSE SO THAT WE COULD HELP FILL THE MEAT IN SOME OTHER HOUSES.

COME ON, LORD OF HOSTS OUGHT TO LEAD THE WAY. WE'LL HELP

PASTORS. WE'VE BEEN KNOWN TO DO IT. LISTEN, THIS CHURCH DROPPED

$100,000 TO HELP A PASTOR WITH AN AIR CONDITIONER. WE HELPED

TONY GET HIS BUILDING. LISTEN, I'M COMMITTED, BUT I'VE GOT TO

HAVE THE MEAT FOLKS. AND IF I'VE GOT THE MEAT, WE'LL HELP PEOPLE.

WE WILL PUSH BACK THE CURSE IN THE NAME OF JESUS. SO I'M GOING

TO LET YOU ALL JUST KIND OF PRAYERFULLY THINK ABOUT IT. BUT

IF YOU, WHATEVER YOU FEEL LED TO DO EXTRA TODAY, JUST PUT IT IN

THE BUILDING FUND BECAUSE THE BUILDING FUND, IT'S GOING TO,

IT'LL GO TO SOMEBODY'S BUILDING. IT'LL GO. AND IF, AND WE CAN

REDIRECT THAT, WE CAN HELP GET THE SHILOH FUND. BY THE WAY, WE

STILL HAVE FUNDS IN RESERVE FOR THAT. SO, BUT WE NEED THE

PROJECT TO GO FORWARD, BUT, AND IT WON'T BE ENOUGH. WE, WE'RE

GOING TO NEED MORE AND IT'S GOING TO NEED A LITTLE WORK OUT

THERE TOO. SO WE WANT SOME MONEY TO DO THAT AS WELL, BUT I'M NOT

GOING TO LET THAT PROPERTY GO TO SOME MUSLIM. I PROMISE YOU IN

THE NAME OF JESUS OF NAZARETH. SO LET'S GET THIS DONE. SO WOULD

YOU HELP US TODAY? LET'S DO IT. AND I'M GOING TO SEND AN

OFFERING. YOU LET THAT PERSON KNOW, BECAUSE OUR PEOPLE ARE

GENEROUS. AND WHEN YOU GIVE GENEROUSLY TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO

SEND THAT PERSON. AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE, IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART

THAT A PASTOR IS SITTING OUT THERE WITH HAVING HAD A PAYCHECK

FOR, WHAT WAS IT, THREE MONTHS OR HOW LONG? I DON'T, HUH? FIVE

WEEKS. OKAY. THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE LIVE

PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. IT'S LIKE, SO, BUT, AND SO I'M NOT

APPEALING. IF YOU'RE A PERSON THAT'S STRUGGLING TODAY, I WOULD

SAY DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU GET BLESSED. BUT IF YOU

HAVE MEANS TODAY, YOU SAY, "I WOULDN'T MISS $500 IF I GAVE

IT," OR WHATEVER YOU FEEL LED TO DO, SOME OF YOU COULD DO MORE,

THEN I APPEAL TO YOU TO DO IT. WE'RE GONNA HELP SOME MINISTRIES

DIG OUT OF THIS, WHAT I'M CALLING THE CURSE TRYING TO

COME, STEAL PROPERTY, STEAL FROM MINISTRIES. IT'S A LIE FROM THE

PIT OF HELL, AND I WON'T HAVE ANY PART OF IT. AND I PROPHESY

THAT THIS SEASON BREAKS UPON THE BODY OF CHRIST. AMEN, ALL RIGHT,

WELL, WHEN YOU'RE READY, LET'S STAND ON YOUR FEET. HOW MANY OF

YOU HELPED TODAY? WE'LL GET THIS DONE. I'LL GIVE YOU A GREAT

REPORT NEXT WEEK. AND WE'LL SEND AN OFFERING TOO, BUT WE NEED IT

TO COME IN TO DO IT. SO I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO HELP US AND LET'S

GET SOME STUFF DONE. AND FATHER, ALSO, I JUST, BEFORE WE PRAY, I

JUST SPEAK OVER RICK AS WELL, THAT FATHER, WHAT YOU HAVE

CALLED HIM TO DO, NO EVIL CURSE, NO FALSE RELIGION WILL BE ABLE

TO COME IN AND STRIP FROM HIM WHAT HE IS ACCOMPLISHING IN

TRUTH AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. I SAY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. AND I

PRAY FOR ALL OF THESE MINISTRIES THAT ARE STANDING OUT AGAINST

THE DARKNESS OF THIS AGE THAT YOU WILL BLESS AND PROSPER. AND

WE BREAK THE POWER OF THAT CURSE IN THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS' NAME.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD UP YOUR OFFERING. AND IF YOU, BY THE

WAY, AND IF YOU CAN'T GIVE IT TODAY, WELL, IN THE NEXT COUPLE

OF WEEKS, LET'S DO IT. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS. CAN I SAY

ONE MORE THING? I'M TRYING NOT TO GO LONG. PASTOR'S GOTTA

PREACH. BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS IMPORTANT. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE MY

TIME. WE HAVE THE FIRST NOTE ON THIS BUILDING HAS NOW DROPPED

BELOW A MILLION DOLLARS. IT WAS THE ORIGINAL NOTE THAT WE TOOK

OUT TO BUY THIS FIRST BUILDING. FOLKS, IF WE WERE DILIGENT, DO

YOU KNOW WE COULD PAY THAT OFF BY THE END OF THIS YEAR? I MEAN,

IT'S $900,000. I JUST LOOKED AT IT AND I'M LIKE, COME ON, THAT

IS CHUMP CHANGE WITH THE VIEWERSHIP THAT CONNECTS TO THIS

CHURCH. WE COULD KNOCK THAT OUT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT'S TIME,

COME ON, AMEN, IT'S TIME.

WILL YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT?

WILL YOU AGREE?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S AGREE TOGETHER.

FATHER, AS WE HOLD UP THESE GIFTS,

I GAVE MINE THIS MORNING, FATHER, TO THE BUILDING,

FATHER, AS WE UPHOLD THESE GIFTS,

WE LAY THESE UP BEFORE YOU, FATHER,

AND WE THANK YOU THAT, FATHER, THERE SHALL BE MEAT IN

THE HOUSES OF WORSHIP, THE HOUSES OF GOD, THE

HOUSES OF THE ANOINTING.

THERE SHALL BE MEAT.

WE BREAK THIS COLLECTIVE CURSE THAT HAS TRIED TO COME

TO ROB THE HOUSES OF WORSHIP OF THEIR RESOURCES.

WE TAKE AUTHORITY AND WE SAY THE CURSE SHALL NOT COME.

AND FATHER, WE LAY THESE OFFERINGS UP BEFORE YOU AND WE

SAY, LET THERE BE ABUNDANT SUPPLY. AND GOD, I AM ASKING YOU

TODAY, LET THERE BE SUCH AN INFLUX OF FUNDS THAT COMES INTO

LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH. WE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP RICK AND WE'LL BE

ABLE TO HELP THIS PASTOR AND ANY OTHERS THAT YOU BRING BEFORE US,

FATHER. WE WILL SOW SOME SEED THAT FATHER, TRUTH MIGHT GO

ACROSS THE AIRWAVES AND THAT WE WILL GET THINGS DONE FOR THE

KINGDOM OF GOD, THAT THE END OF THE ENEMY HAS NO POWER TO

OVERCOME AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT. COME ON, SHOUT AMEN IF YOU

AGREE WITH THAT. AMEN. ARE YOU READY TO DO OUR DECLARATION? ALL

RIGHT, TODAY, COME ON. LET'S PROPHESY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO

TALK MINISTRY, LORD OF HOSTS, BUT I WANT YOU TO MUMBLE OUT

PATRIOT ACADEMY AND OTHER CHURCHES. CAN YOU DO THAT FOR

US? LET'S DO THAT TOGETHER. LET'S AGREE FOR ALL OF THESE

MINISTRIES. ALL RIGHT, LET'S SAY IT TOGETHER. WE DECLARE THE

MINISTRY OF LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH. IT SHALL BE INCREASED,

EXPANDED, AND ALL THESE MINISTRIES DEBT FREE. WE DECREE

IT SHALL HAPPEN WITHOUT DELAY. WE SAY TO EVERY, COME ON,

HEAVENLY ASSIGNMENT, BUILDING, LANDS, PROPERTIES, BE BUILT UP

AND BE FINISHED. WE SAY THAT WE HAVE ALL THE FINANCES NEEDED FOR

THE LORD IS BUILDING THESE HOUSES AND WE HAVE MORE THAN

ENOUGH EXCESS AND OVERFLOW. LORD, YOU ARE PROVIDING SEED TO

THE SOWER. WE CALL UPON YOU, LORD OF HOSTS, TO BRING FORTH

HEAVENLY ASSISTANCE AND RAISE UP MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT SHALL

GIVE ABUNDANTLY TO THIS WORK. WE PROPHESY THAT WE SHALL AND THEY

SHALL QUADRUPLE, QUADRUPLE, AND THEN THEY WILL QUADRUPLE AGAIN.

WE DECLARE NEW THINGS NOW. WE DECREE MINISTRY AND CAMPUS BE

EXPANDED. NOW GIVE GOD A GREAT BIG SHOUT OF PRAISE IN JESUS'

NAME. AMEN. WELL, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED. THAT WAS

POWERFUL. I'VE NEVER HEARD MALACHI 3 IN THAT CONTEXT. THAT

WAS BRILLIANT, AND IT'S TRUE. SO THANK YOU FOR HELPING OUT THIS

MINISTRY, OTHER MINISTRIES, BUT MOST OF ALL, EXPAND AND CONTINUE

FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

WELL, TODAY IS NEW MEMBERS, AND I FEEL TO DO SOMETHING THAT I'VE

NEVER DONE WITH NEW MEMBERS BEFORE. I AM GOING TO PRAY FOR

YOU AT THE END. I'M JUST GONNA DO THAT. AND I FEEL IT, I FEEL

LIKE I'VE GOT A WORD THAT I NEED TO GET HERE. AND THEN, PASTOR

DOUG, WHEN YOU COME, I DON'T WANT, AND HERE'S ANOTHER THING,

WE GOTTA BE BETTER AT SOMETHING. IF WE GIVE ALTAR CALLS, IT'S NOT

YOUR TIME TO BUG OUT. BECAUSE THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU'VE HAD A

NEED. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU HAVE A NEED OR YOU'RE WAITING

FOR A TOUCH? SOME PEOPLE, THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE

OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THIS MINISTRY, TO HAVE HANDS LAID ON

THEM, TO HAVE THAT ANOINTING. AND FOR US TO JUST GET OUT, IT

SAYS WE DON'T CARE. NOW, IF YOU HAVE TO USE THE RESTROOM OR YOU

REALLY HAVE A NEED TO GET GOING, BUT IF IT'S JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE

BORED, OR THE SERVICE HAS GONE LONGER THAN WHAT YOU LIKE, YOU

WOULDN'T DO THAT AT YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE. OR YOU WOULDN'T

DO THAT IF YOUR FAVORITE PERSON WAS SINGING. YOU WOULD HOLD YOUR

BLADDER. I'VE BEEN THERE, THAT'S HOW I KNOW. SO LET'S, AS A

CHURCH, ALWAYS SHOW RESPECT WHEN WE GIVE AN ALTAR CALL, WHOEVER

IT IS, SO THAT WE DON'T MAKE THE PERSON WHO'S GETTING MINISTERED

TO FEEL LIKE THEY DON'T MATTER. IT BREAKS MY HEART, AND I JUST

NEED TO BE HONEST WITH YOU AS YOUR PASTOR, LET'S NOT BE THAT

KIND OF CHURCH. 'CAUSE I PASTOR GREAT PEOPLE, SO THANK YOU.

LET'S GIVE YOURSELF A HAND CLAP. ALL RIGHT, I GOTTA PREACH THIS

WORD, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE'RE GONNA

BRING HIM UP IN JUST A MOMENT. I WANT YOU TO OPEN YOUR BIBLES,

PLEASE, TO MARK CHAPTER FIVE, AND THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN

TALKING ABOUT. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, WE'RE

TALKING ABOUT NOT MAKING A SCENE, NOT MAKING A DO, NOT

HAVING A PITY PARTY. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER INVITED YOURSELF

TO YOUR OWN PITY PARTY? ANYBODY BEEN THERE? YOU KNOW, REMEMBER,

WHAT WAS THAT OLD 60, WAS IT A 60S SONG, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND

I CAN CRY IF I WANT- IS THAT HOW IT GOES? OH, IT'S MY PARTY.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE SONG. IT'S MY PARTY AND I CAN CRY IF I

WANT TO. WELL, IT'S YOUR PITY PARTY, YOU CAN CRY IF YOU WANT

TO, JUST DON'T INVITE ME. HOW MANY HAVE EVER HAD SOMEBODY

THOUGH, AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THEY'VE INVITED YOU TO

THEIR PITY PARTY? THEY CALL YOU ON THE PHONE, THEY TEXT YOU,

RIGHT? OR HERE'S THE WORST ONE. YOU ALMOST GOTTA STOP ASKING

PEOPLE HOW YOU'RE DOING. HAVE YOU EVER HAD IT WHERE YOU ASK

SOMEBODY HOW YOU'RE DOING AND THEN YOU'RE LIKE, OH MY

GOODNESS, THEY INVITE YOU AND PULL YOU INTO THEIR PITY PARTY.

YOU EVER HAD THAT? AND THEY START CRYING AND YOU'RE NOT

GONNA CRY WITH THEM. I MEAN, AM I THE ONLY ONE? HOW COME IT IS

THAT I'M CONFESSING MYSELF UP HERE AND NOBODY'S LIKE, YOU'RE

ALL OKAY. BUT WE GOTTA NOT BE THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE. WHAT WE

HAVE TO BE IS PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTANDS OUR COVENANT. SO I'M

GONNA SET YOU UP FOR SOMETHING. DON'T SHOUT IT OUT, DON'T SAY IT

YET. BUT WHAT KILLED GOLIATH? WHAT REALLY TOOK GOLIATH OUT?

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU WHAT REALLY TOOK GOLIATH OUT. AND HOW MANY

OF YOU IN THIS ROOM, AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU HAVE A

GIANT PROBLEM. HEY, PUT YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW AND FATHER-IN-LAW

ASIDE FOR A MINUTE, NO, I'M JUST TEASING.

NO, BUT HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A GIANT PROBLEM?

OR TO YOU IT FEELS LIKE IT'S A GIANT NEED?

YOU EVER BEEN THERE?

AND TO YOU IT MAY SEEM.

BUT I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A PRINCIPLE

WITH DAVID THAT IT WASN'T WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. AND WHAT IS

WRITTEN, THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT PRECEDED. LET ME GIVE YOU

ANOTHER EXAMPLE. THE WALLS OF JERICHO. WE THINK, OH, THE WALLS

OF JERICHO, WHAT WAS THE WALLS OF JERICHO ABOUT? IT WAS ABOUT

THE WALLS COMING DOWN. THE WALLS COMING DOWN WAS THE

MANIFESTATION. SAME WAY WITH DAVID AND HOW HE TOOK OUT

GOLIATH WITH HIS LITTLE SLINGSHOT IS THE MANIFESTATION

OF SOMETHING THAT PRECEDED IT, THAT BROUGHT THE GIANT DOWN, THE

WALLS DOWN. IN JERICHO'S CASE, IT WAS COULD YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH

SHUT? THAT IS A BIG ONE FOR A LOT OF CHRISTIANS. AND IN TODAY,

IT'S NOT JUST CAN YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, CAN YOU KEEP YOUR

FINGERS DISCIPLINED? BECAUSE WE LET OUR FINGERS DO, REMEMBER THE

YELLOW PAGES, LET YOUR FINGERS DO THE WALKING? NOW IT'S LET

SOCIAL MEDIA, YOUR FINGERS DO THE TALKING. AND THAT IS THE

FORM OF YOUR MOUTH EXTENDED. YOUR WORDS EXPRESSED THROUGH

YOUR HANDS. AND SO JERICHO WAS ABOUT, COULD THEY KEEP THEIR

MOUTH QUIET? YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, COULD THEY KEEP THEIR

ATTITUDE RIGHT? BECAUSE THINK ABOUT IT, YOU GOT YOUR KIDS

THERE, YOU GOT GRANNY, YOU GOT THE GUY WHO EVERYBODY DOESN'T

LIKE IN THE COMMUNITY, HE'S MR. NEGATIVE. HE'S GOTTA KEEP HIS

MOUTH SHUT, AND HE'S GOTTA GO AROUND THIS BIG WALLED CITY AND

NOT SAY ANYTHING. DO YOU THINK THAT HIS ATTITUDE HAD TO BE IN

CHECK? YOU EVER HAD SOMEBODY, HAVE YOU EVER HAD YOUR DOG, WE

GOT THREE GERMAN SHEPHERDS AND A LITTLE SHIH TZU, AND YOU EVER

HAD TO TELL THEM TO QUIT BARKING? AND THEY HAVE AN

ATTITUDE. TELL THEM, BE QUIET, SHH, AND YOU COULD JUST SEE IT

ON THEIR FACE. I DON'T WANNA BE QUIET. NO, I SAID BE QUIET,

RIGHT? YOU EVER HAD A SPOUSE? OH, THAT DOESN'T APPLY. DOESN'T

APPLY. ALL RIGHT, SO LET ME PARAPHRASE. SO JESUS, VERSE 35

OF MARK 5, "WHILE HE YET SPOKE, THERE CAME FROM THE RULER "OF

THE SYNAGOGUE'S HOUSE, CERTAIN WHICH SAID, "'THE DAUGHTER IS

DEAD. "'WHY ARE YOU TROUBLING THE MASTER?'" WE TALKED ABOUT

THIS LAST WEEK. QUIT LETTING PEOPLE GIVE TO YOU A FALSE

NARRATIVE ABOUT GOD, A WRONG CHARACTER ASSESSMENT, OR PUT IN

YOUR HEAD THAT GOD ISN'T GONNA ANSWER. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY

DO. OH, DON'T BOTHER THE MASTER, HE AIN'T GONNA ANSWER. WELL, HOW

DO YOU KNOW? YOU WANT MY ANSWER GOING FORTH? EXCUSE ME, MY GOD

WILL ANSWER BECAUSE I'M COVENANTED WITH HIM. BRENDA AND

I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TOGETHER FOR 37 YEARS. A MARRIAGE THAT IS

SUCCESSFUL CANNOT BE JUST ONE PERSON WHO DOES EVERYTHING. IT

CAN'T BE MY MONEY, HER MONEY. NOW, WHEN IT COMES TO OUR

HOBBIES, THAT'S FINE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT THE

POT IS THE POT, RIGHT? IN A COVENANT, IT TAKES TWO. THAT'S

WHAT THE DEFINITION OF COVENANT IS. YOU THAT ARE IN YOUR LIVING

ROOM, COVENANT IS BETWEEN TWO PARTIES OR MORE. AND SO WE HAVE

TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN IT COMES TO GOD AND GETTING ANSWERS,

SOMETIMES WE ARE LIKE THESE PEOPLE, WELL, I JUST KNOW THE

LORD ISN'T GONNA ANSWER THAT. HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMEBODY TELL

YOU THAT? EXCUSE ME, I'M IN COVENANT. GOD, AND I'VE BEEN

SAYING THIS TO THE LORD, LORD, IT AIN'T RIGHT THAT THERE'S NOT

MEAT. WHEN BRENDA WAS TELLING ME THIS ABOUT THE FIVE YEARS, I'M

LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, THAT AIN'T RIGHT. GOD, THERE'S MEAT IN YOUR

HOUSE. YOU'RE NOT LACKING ANYTHING. YOU GOT EVERYTHING AS

MY COVENANT PARTNER THROUGH THE BLOOD OF YESHUA. YOU HAVE YOUR

STOREHOUSE FULL. I, AS YOUR COVENANT PARTNER, DEMAND THE

SAME. YOU AIN'T WALKING AROUND SICK. AND I AIN'T EITHER. YOU'RE

NOT WALKING AROUND DEPRESSED. NEITHER AM I, I'M IN COVENANT

WITH YOU. IT'S A JOINT AGREEMENT. WHAT IS MINE IS

YOURS, YOURS IS MINE. THE BIBLE SAYS, HOW CAN TWO WALK THE SAME

ROAD UNLESS THEY BE AGREED? AND WE THINK, OH, THAT'S JUST IN THE

CONTEXT OF MARRIAGE. YEAH, IT IS. YOU CANNOT BE IN MARRIAGE

AND BE IN DISAGREEMENT. YOU CAN'T HAVE SOMETHING BE ONE WAY

AND THE OTHER PERSON GETS ALL THE BENEFITS. ARE YOU HEARING

ME? IT'S NO DIFFERENT WHEN THAT SCRIPTURE SAYS, HOW CAN TWO WALK

THE SAME ROAD? HOW CAN YOU WALK WITH THE COVENANT GOD IF YOU'RE

LACKING AND HE'S NOT? YOU'RE NOT IN AGREEMENT. THAT'S WHY ISAIAH

43 SAYS, "COME, LET US REASON TOGETHER." IT'S NOT SO THAT YOU

CAN HAVE A PITY PARTY, YOU CAN SQUALL AND BAWL, YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING CAN SIT THERE AND GET MAD AT GOD AND BRING AN

INDICTMENT AGAINST HIM. DON'T BOTHER GOD. HE'S MAD TODAY, HE'S

ANCIENT OF DAYS, AND HE'S A GRUMP THAT'S NOT GOD. THE REASON

HE SAYS, "COME, LET US REASON TOGETHER," IS HE'S WANTING YOU

TO COME. LET US PLEAD TOGETHER. IN OTHER WORDS, PLEAD WHAT? WHAT

HAS BEEN PROVIDED ALREADY. BRING ME IN REMEMBRANCE, HE SAID.

LET'S REASON TOGETHER. THE PROBLEM IS, HAVE YOU EVER HAD AN

ARGUMENT WITH SOMEBODY THAT WILL NOT BE REASONABLE? THAT'S HOW WE

ARE WITH GOD. HE SAYS, "COME, LET US PLEAD TOGETHER. "LET US

REASON TOGETHER. "PUT ME IN REMEMBRANCE BASED ON WHAT I'VE

ALREADY DONE, "WHAT I'VE ALREADY HAVE DONE, "AND WE SIT THERE AND

WE CAN'T BE REASONED WITH." WE SAY THE SITUATION IS GREATER

THAN THE PROVISION. WE SAY THAT THE CURSE IS GREATER THAN THE

BLESSING. WE SAY OUR STRUGGLE IS GOING TO CONTINUE MORE SO THAN

THE PROMISE. AND GOD SAYS, "PUT ME IN REMEMBRANCE." LET'S

REASON, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. YOU HAVE A COVENANT, AND I DON'T

LACK AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU. I'M NOT SICK AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU

BE. I'M NOT DEPRESSED, NEITHER SHOULD YOU BE. I'M NOT LONELY,

NEITHER SHOULD YOU BE. RATHER THAN GET MAD AND UNREASONABLE,

WHY DON'T YOU SAY TO GOD, "EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PROVIDED

THROUGH YESHUA. EVERYTHING. IT'S OUR COVENANT. IT'S NOT JUST HIS,

IT'S OURS. I'VE BEEN REMINDING HIM, THIS IS OUR COVENANT. OUR

COVENANT. SO THERE NEEDS TO BE MUTUAL BLESSINGS, MUTUAL

MANIFESTATIONS. NOT JUST YOU BLESSED AND I'M NOT GOD. THIS IS

WHY, LET'S GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER 24, VERSE ONE. NOTICE WE ARE

Genesis 24 · chapter mention

UNDER THIS COVENANT. THIS HAS BEEN FULFILLED THROUGH JESUS

CHRIST. WE'LL GO BACK TO MARK FIVE. IN GENESIS 24, VERSE ONE,

NOTICE IT SAYS, "AND ABRAHAM WAS OLD." NOW YOU THINK, OKAY, WELL,

WHY DOES THE BIBLE MENTION THAT? AND WELL STRICKEN IN AGE. NOW

LOOK AT VERSE EIGHT. I BELIEVE IT'S VERSE EIGHT OF THAT ONE.

PUT VERSE EIGHT UP AND WE'LL GO BACK TO THIS ONE. WAIT A MINUTE.

NO, THAT'S NOT IT. IT WAS TALKING ABOUT, I FORGOT IT, BUT

IT TALKS ABOUT ABRAHAM WAS BURIED AS AN OLD MAN IN A GOOD

OLD AGE. IT SAYS THE MAN ABRAHAM DIED AN OLD MAN AND WAS BURIED

IN GOOD OLD AGE. OKAY, THAT'S IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS RIGHT AROUND

THERE. NOW, WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? GO BACK TO GENESIS

24, ONE. ABRAHAM WAS OLD AND STRICKEN IN AGE, AND THE LORD

BLESSED HIM IN HOW MANY THINGS? WAIT A MINUTE, HE WAS BLESSED IN

ALL THINGS. SO THAT MEANS HE DIDN'T LACK IN ANYTHING. WHEN

JESUS SAID ON THE CROSS, "IT IS FINISHED," IT WAS TO REMIND US

THAT THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OUT IN THE COVENANT. EVERYTHING THAT

YOU WOULD NEED IS AND WOULD BE PROVIDED THROUGH WHAT HE JUST

BRUTALLY WENT THROUGH AS AN INNOCENT MAN, FULLY GOD, FULLY

MAN. NOTHING WAS LEFT OUT, IT IS FINISHED. BUT IT WAS ALSO AN

ANNOUNCEMENT TO HELL. DEVIL, THE SPIRIT OF LACK, CANNOT TOUCH MY

PEOPLE UNLESS THEY LET IT. SICKNESS, DISEASE, INFIRMITY,

YOU CANNOT TOUCH. IT IS FINISHED, IT WAS A WAR CRY. IT

IS FINISHED, NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN. AND THEN TO

PROVE IT, ONE OF THE MOST MESSIANIC PROMISES THAT THE

PROPHETS DECLARED, THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT, WAITING FOR, IS

THE LITERAL LAMB, THE MESSIAH, NO BONES OF THEIR BODY SHOULD BE

BROKEN. YOU WOULD THINK WHEN THEY TOOK JESUS DOWN FROM THE

CROSS AND DIDN'T BREAK HIS LEGS, THAT THEY WOULD'VE WENT, SURELY

THIS IS THE SON OF GOD. IT WAS A KNOWN ROMAN CUSTOM, YOU BREAK

THEIR LEGS. BUT THE REASON HIS LEGS WERE NOT BROKEN, BECAUSE

THE COVENANT, IT WAS FINISHED. NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING WHAT?

WHY DO YOU THINK EVERY TIME JESUS WALKED INTO A PLACE, HE

WALKED IN DECLARING, "PEACE BE UNTO YOU." PEACE IS WHO HE IS.

PEACE ISN'T ALWAYS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO OBTAIN OR FEEL, IT'S

HIM. WHEN HE ENTERS IN, WHEN YOU REMIND HIM OF HIS COVENANT, OUR

COVENANT, IT BECOMES NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN IN THIS

RELATIONSHIP. PEACE, THAT'S WHY YOUR LEGS WEREN'T BROKEN. I HAVE

A RIGHT TO WHOLENESS. WELL, MY MARRIED RELATIONSHIP IS NOT

WHOLE. MY BODY IS NOT WHOLE. THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO STAND

AND MAKE YOUR WAR CRY. IT'S FINISHED. NOTHING MISSING,

NOTHING BROKEN. I RECEIVED THE PRINCE OF PEACE AND EVERYTHING

THAT HE PAID FOR. NOW, LOOK AT GENESIS 25, VERSE EIGHT. THERE

IT IS. ABRAHAM GAVE UP THE GHOST. HE DIED IN A GOOD OLD AGE

AS AN OLD MAN. AND HE WAS FULL OF YEARS AND WAS GATHERED TO HIS

PEOPLE. WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT? WE OUGHT TO BE

PRAYING THIS SCRIPTURE EVERY DAY. HANK KUNNEMAN DIED IN A

GOOD OLD AGE. HE IS AND WILL BE AND WAS AN OLD MAN. HE WAS FULL

OF YEARS. THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS OUR PROMISE. LOOK AT GENESIS 15,

15. WHEN GOD CUT COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM, IT'S THE REASON WHY

JESUS, YOU COULD SAY, DIED A VERY YOUNG AGE AT 33, BECAUSE HE

BECAME NOT ONLY SIN, HE BECAME PREMATURE DEATH. SO THAT YOU

WOULD HAVE RIGHT TO THE COVENANT BLESSING OF ABRAHAM. YOU SHALL

GO TO YOUR FATHERS IN PEACE. THANK YOU, THAT'S THE RIGHT OF

MY COVENANT. AND HOW ARE YOU GONNA BE BURIED IN A GOOD OLD

AGE? SO HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE AND CLAIM AS A COVENANT

JOINT TOGETHER WITH THE FATHER? NOW YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, GOD

MADE A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM, THERE WAS NO ONE GREATER. SO GOD

SWORE BY HIMSELF. WHEN IT CAME TO THE COVENANT WITH US, HE

STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYONE. THERE WAS NO ONE WORTHY TO OPEN

THE SEALS THEREOF, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE WITH PURE BLOOD TO COME

AND BE BORN OF MAN, EXCEPT YESHUA, JESUS. THAT'S WHY THE

BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL, WE WERE ALL BORN IN

POLLUTED BLOOD. BECAUSE OF SIN, WE'VE ALL SINNED AND FELL SHORT

OF THE GLORY. THERE IS NO ONE RIGHTEOUS. THE BLOOD WHICH CAME

FROM GOD, WHEN GOD BREATHED INTO ADAM, BLOOD BEGAN TO FLOW.

LEVITICUS 17, 11, THE LIFE OF ALL FLESH, EVERY LIVING THING IS

IN THE BLOOD. WHERE DID THE SOURCE OF THAT BLOOD COME FROM?

GOD! IT IS YOUR LIFE, IT IS THE LIFE OF GOD AND EVERY HUMAN

BEING, THEY DON'T KNOW IT. BUT WHEN SIN NATURE CAME IN, THAT

CURSE OF POLLUTED BLOOD, EZEKIEL 16, WAS PASSED DOWN TO EVERY MAN

BORN IN THE EARTH. AND IT TOOK GOD, WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYONE

BORN OF A WOMAN AND FROM THE MALE SEED OF A MAN, WHO WOULD

CARRY PURE BLOOD TO ESTABLISH A COVENANT. GOD ALONE, HE SWORE BY

HIMSELF WITH ABRAHAM, HE SWORE BY HIMSELF WITH US, THE

GENTILES, AND ANY JEW THAT WOULD RECEIVE. AND HE SENT JESUS PURE

BLOOD. WHY COULDN'T THEY STRANGLE HIM? I'VE HAD PEOPLE

SAY, "WELL, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO STRANGULATION?" IT HAD TO BE

BLOOD, BECAUSE IT WAS THROUGH BLOOD THAT SIN ENTERED. AND IT

REQUIRED... HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT, "WHY WAS ALL THESE

COVENANTS BLOODY?" BECAUSE THEY WERE PAYING FOR ADAM, WHICH

MEANS THE BLOOD MAN, THE RED MAN. AND GOD CAME AND

ESTABLISHED A COMPANY THROUGH YESHUA. AND THERE WERE TWO

THIEVES, ONE THAT REPRESENTED THE CURSE, AND ONE THAT

REPRESENTED THE BLESSING. THE CURSE WAS, "LOOK AT YOU, YOU

FOOL. "YOU SAVED OTHERS, YOU CAN'T EVEN SAVE US." AND THE

OTHER ONE, THE BLESSING SAID, "OH NO, DON'T RAIL UPON HIM.

"HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG, HE'S PURE BLOOD. "REMEMBER ME WHEN

YOU ENTER INTO THY KINGDOM." AND YESHUA SAID, "TODAY A COVENANT

IS BEING FULFILLED. "TODAY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS

COVENANT OF MY BLOOD, "YOU NOW ARE THE REDEEMED AND YOU HAVE

SAID SO, "AND YOU WILL BE REDEEMED OUT OF THE HAND OF THE

ENEMY. "YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE." BECAUSE OF BLOOD.

COVENANT WAS FINISHED, ESTABLISHED. TODAY, WE TOLERATE

THINGS. WE PUT UP WITH THINGS. WE LOOK AT MARK CHAPTER FIVE IN

VERSE 38. "WHEN THE NEWS CAME," VERSE 39, "WHY DO YOU MAKE THIS

ADO?" WE CARRY ON A SCENE. WE MAKE NOISE. WE HAVE A PITY

PARTY. WE RUN FROM OUR PROBLEMS, ONLY FOR OUR PROBLEMS TO FOLLOW

US, RATHER THAN STAND FOR OUR COVENANT RIGHTS. GO BACK TO

GENESIS 15, 15. YOU, WHEN YOU DIE, YOU'RE TO GO IN PEACE. NOT

AS A RESULT OF A TRAGEDY, A CALAMITY, DESTRUCTION, SICKNESS

OR DISEASE. GIVE ME BIBLE, PASTOR, PSALM 103, VERSE FOUR.

YOU HAVE BEEN REDEEMED THROUGH YOUR COVENANT OF BLOOD. HE

COULDN'T FIND ANYONE GREATER WHO HAD PURE BLOOD, WHO WOULD HAVE

PURE BLOOD BORN OF MAN. SO JESUS CAME, HE WAS THE LAMB SLAIN

BEFORE THE WORLD WAS EVER EVEN CONSIDERED. A COVENANT WOULD

HAVE TO BE MADE. YOU HAVE BEEN REDEEMED, YOU'RE ALIVE FROM

DESTRUCTION. IN OTHER WORDS, THROUGH BLOOD, THROUGH THE BLOOD

COVENANT, YOUR LIFE IS FREE FROM DESTRUCTION. LOOK AT WHAT IT

SAYS IN VERSE THREE. YOU'RE EVEN HEALED. HE'S FORGIVEN ALL YOUR

INIQUITIES. HE'S HEALED HOW MANY DISEASES? YEAH, EVEN THE ONES

WITH ALL THOSE GOOFY COMMERCIALS. (CONGREGATION

LAUGHING) EVERY ONE OF THEM, I DIDN'T MAKE THAT UP, THAT'S WHAT

HE SAID. THAT'S WHAT'S PROVIDED IN YOUR COVENANT WITH HIM. SO GO

BACK TO GENESIS 24, LOOK AT VERSE ONE AGAIN, AND THEN WE'RE

GONNA SHIFT. GENESIS 24, HE WENT TO HIS GRAVE, WELL STRICKEN AND

AGED. SO WAS HIS COVENANT FULFILLED? YES. REMEMBER THE

PROMISE, YOU GO TO YOUR GRAVE AS A GOOD OLD AGE AND IN PEACE. HE

DIED, HE BASICALLY JUST CALLED HIS SONS IN, PROPHESIED OVER

THEM, LIFTED UP HIS LEGS AND HE WAS OUT OF THERE, PEACEFULLY.

THAT WAS FULFILLED. HE WAS BLESSED IN EVERYTHING. THAT

PHRASE, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, UNDERLINE IT, HAS BEEN

WHAT I HAVE BEEN PUTTING BEFORE OUR COVENANT WITH MY GOD. JESUS,

WHEN HE APPEARED FROM THE DEAD, MARY THOUGHT THAT JESUS WAS A

GARDENER BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL ADAM BLEW IT IN THE GARDEN. NOW

MARY'S LOOKING AT JESUS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD IN A

GARDEN TO SHOW US THAT THE COVENANT NOW HAS BROUGHT BACK

OUR EDEN LIFE. OF EVERYTHING THAT HE LOST HAS BEEN BROUGHT

BACK THROUGH COVENANT. AND HE LOOKS AT MARY AND HE SAYS, MARY,

DON'T TOUCH ME YET. NOT THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE TOUCHED. HE

HAD TO CARRY HIS BLOOD TO THE HOLY PLACE AND WALK INTO THE

MOST HOLIEST PLACE WHERE EVEN THE HEIGHTS OF THE HEAVENS

CANNOT CONTAIN THE GREATNESS OF GOD. HE WALKS IN WITH HIS OWN

BLOOD, NOT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND GOATS OR CALVES, HIS OWN

BLOOD. THE FATHER LOOKS AT HIM, HANDS HIM THE SCEPTER OF

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SAYS, "THOU ART MY BEGOTTEN SON THIS DAY.

"YOU ARE GOD," THE FATHER SAYS TO HIM. "YOU LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS,

YOU HATE INIQUITY. NOW SEE THIS, MY THRONE, SIT RIGHT THERE AT MY

RIGHT HAND AS JOINT COVENANT TOGETHER. AND NOW LOOK OUT AMONG

YOU, THOSE WHO CAME OUT OF YOUR SIDE, YOUR BRIDE." WHY THE

BRIDE? 'CAUSE YOU'RE IN COVENANT. YOU, WITH JESUS, ARE

IN THAT SEAT. AND YOU PARTAKE WITH YOUR FATHER OF THE SAME

COVENANT THAT YESHUA PROVIDED IS YOURS, AS THE BIBLE SAYS, WE ARE

JOINT HEIRS TOGETHER OF THIS COVENANT. I TELL JESUS, YOU'RE

NOT SICK, NEITHER AM I. YOU'RE NOT BROKE, NEITHER AM I. YOUR

KINGDOM WHERE YOU'RE SEATED IS NOT LACKING MEAT. I HAVE

CHILDREN'S BOOKS THAT MUST GET OUT THERE. I AM DOING IT FOR YOU

AND FOR OUR COVENANT. IT MUST BE PAID FOR. OUR LAND, SHILOH, THE

LAND OF PEACE, MUST NOT FALL IN THE HANDS OF MUSLIMS.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) BUT WE NEED MONEY. MY COVENANT WHERE

I'M SEATED DEMANDS, OH, EL SHADDAI, THE GOD WHO'S MORE THAN

ENOUGH. THIS IS WHY JESUS, AS I SAID BEFORE, HE DIED AT 33

PREMATURELY SO THAT HE COULD DO GALATIANS 3. LOOK AT GALATIANS

Galatians 3:13

3, VERSE 13 AND 14. IT WAS TO GIVE US ALL OF THE RIGHTS OF

ABRAHAM AND TO MAKE THEM OURS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? THIS IS

SUCH A HOLY THING. I WAS GONNA TALK ABOUT DAVID TODAY, BUT I

GUESS I'M NOT. BUT I'LL SHOW YOU THE NUGGET. OR MAYBE HE'LL COME

BACK NEXT WEEK. CHRIST, NOW THERE'S BLOOD, THERE'S BLOOD,

THERE'S YOUR COVENANT IN ACTION, THERE'S YOUR COVENANT IN

MANIFESTATION, THERE'S YOUR COVENANT IN FULFILLMENT, IT IS

FINISHED, CHRIST IS REDEEMED, IT IS FINISHED, THE COVENANT HAS

BEEN SEALED, AND THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S BEEN RATIFIED. YOU KNOW

WHAT THAT MEANS? IT'S BEEN APPROVED. SEALED, APPROVED.

SIGNED, SEALED, AND DELIVERED. ARE WE OPENING IT UP? ARE WE

RECEIVING IT OR JUST LEAVING THE PACKAGE LAYING THERE UNDERNEATH

THE CHRISTMAS TREE? CHRIST HAS REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF

THE LAW. NOTICE, JESUS BECAME THE CURSE. HE HAD TO HAVE

UNPOLLUTED BLOOD. THAT'S WHY HE WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN, RIGHT?

'CAUSE EVERY MALE SEED CARRIED THE CURSE OF ADAM AND POLLUTED

BLOOD. I MEAN, HE'S TRACKING. CURSED IS EVERYONE. HE WAS MADE

A CURSE FOR US. IT IS WRITTEN, "CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT HANGS

ON A TREE." YOU THAT ARE IN YOUR HOME, WHY? LOOK AT VERSE 44. SO

THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN SO THAT YOU COULD BE A RECIPIENT OF

IT. SO, YOU COULD PUT SO, THAT THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM MAY

COME ON THE GENTILES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. SO THAT WE MAY

RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT. WHATEVER GOD PROVIDED IN

ABRAHAM IS YOURS. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START WALKING UP HERE.

LOOK AT GENESIS CHAPTER 12, VERSE TWO. MIGHT BE A LITTLE

Genesis 12 · chapter mention

BIT, BUT YOU MIGHT AS WELL WALK. LOOK AT OUT OF THE AMPLIFIED

CLASSIC. THIS IS POWERFUL. YOU'RE DOING GREAT, BY THE WAY,

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE PUTTING THE SCRIPTURES UP. LOOK AT WHAT THE

BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM ARE. AND I WILL MAKE OF YOU A GREAT NATION.

SO, UNDERLYING GREATNESS. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE COME INTO

GREATNESS? NO. GENESIS 24, ONE, ABRAHAM WAS BLESSED IN

EVERYTHING. SO, IF SOMETHING'S NOT GETTING BETTER OR GREATER OF

A BLESSING IN YOUR LIFE, IT MEANS WE'RE NOT HOLDING HIM TO

HIS SIDE OF THE COVENANT. HE DOESN'T MIND, THAT'S WHY HE

SAYS, COME, LET'S REASON. BRING ME IN REMEMBRANCE, YOU DON'T

OFFEND ME. WHY IS IT WITH THE SYROPHOENICIAN WOMAN WHO DID NOT

HAVE A RIGHT TO THE BLESSING, JESUS SAID, "I'VE NEVER SEEN

SUCH GREAT FAITH." BECAUSE SHE CAME TO JESUS, "THOU SON OF

DAVID." WHY DID SHE SAY SON OF DAVID? BECAUSE THAT WAS COVENANT

TERMINOLOGY. AND JESUS IS SITTING HERE LOOKING AT A WOMAN

WHO WAS NOT PART OF THE COVENANT, AND SHE'S GOING, "THOU

SON OF DAVID, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY DAUGHTER? "DO YOU UNDERSTAND

MY NEED?" AND JESUS LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS, "YOU'RE A DOG." HE

WASN'T RACIALLY PROFILING HER LIKE PEOPLE HAVE SAID. HE WASN'T

INSULTING HER, HE WAS SAYING, "YOU'RE A DOG." IN OTHER WORDS,

IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT YOU ARE

OUTSIDE AND YOU ARE CALLED BY THE PEOPLE A DOG. AND SHE

UNDERSTOOD COVENANT, SAID, "WHOA, EVEN DOGS." THAT'S WHY I

FEED HERBIE AND SHILOH UNDERNEATH THE TABLE, OUR GERMAN

SHEPHERD AND OUR SHIH TZU, BRENDA. SHE SAID, "EVEN THE DOGS

GET THE SMALL FRAGMENTS." IN OTHER WORDS, I HAVE A RIGHT TO

THAT COVENANT TOO. REALLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING IS SHE WAS

PROPHESYING WHAT EVERY ONE OF YOU SITTING IN HERE THAT ARE

GENTILES. YOU DON'T JUST GET THE CRUMBS. WHAT IT'S SYMBOLIC OF IS

YOU HAVE A PART OF THE WIDER TABLE, PSALM 23, THAT HAS BEEN

SPREAD IN THE TABLE OF THY ENEMIES. WHEN YOU TAKE THE

LORD'S BODY AND BLOOD AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR COVENANT IS, YOUR

ENEMIES ARE GOING, WHOA! YOU KNOW WHY HE PREPARES A TABLE

BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF THE ENEMIES? 'CAUSE YOUR ENEMIES ARE

SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT YOU AND GO, GOLLY, THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE

THEY'RE STRUGGLING. THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE DEPRESSED.

THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY GOT A TUBE. MAN, LOOK AT THEM. AND IT

ISN'T ABOUT WHAT CAR YOU DRIVE. IT'S ABOUT WHETHER WE'RE LIVING

IN THE BLESSING AND IT SHOWS. AND EVERYBODY, IT'S DIFFERENT.

YOU WOULD COME AND LOOK AT MY TRAINS AND GO, GOLLY, HE SPENT A

LOT OF MONEY. YES, WHATEVER, I'M BLESSED. GOD AND I SPEND A LOT

OF TIME WITH MY TRAINS TOGETHER WITH TALKING, PRAYING, WORSHIP,

LAUGHING. AND HE'S BLESSED THEM, AND I'VE GOT SOME OF THE BEST

TRAINS AROUND. TO YOU, WHO'S A NONTRAINED PERSON, YOU'D BE

LIKE, THAT'S STUPID. NO, IT'S COVENANT. AND IT'S THE FATHER

WHO LOVES ME AS HIS SON. AND HIS TRAIN FILLS THE WHOLE TEMPLE,

AND I TOLD HIM HE'S GOTTA FILL MINE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) SO

THERE YOU GO. WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER. LISTEN, WE'RE SO IN IT

TOGETHER. I MEAN, THIS IS AMAZING. I'M JUST DOING THIS

BECAUSE SOME OF YOU HATE TRUMP, AND I THOUGHT I WOULD DO IT

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I JUST THOUGHT I'D DO IT. (CONGREGATION

LAUGHING) I WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT NATION, GREATNESS. I WILL

BLESS YOU WITH ABUNDANCE. SO UNDERLINE ABUNDANCE, YOU'RE

SUPPOSED TO HAVE ABUNDANCE. INCREASE OF FAVORS. I'LL MAKE

YOUR NAME FAMOUS, DISTINGUISHED. YOU'LL BE A BLESSING. IN OTHER

WORDS, YOU'LL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISPERSE TO OTHERS. AND I WANNA

SHOW YOU WHAT THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT IS. FIRST OF ALL, IT'S

GREATNESS, WRITE THAT DOWN. NUMBER TWO, IT'S BLESSINGS, I

WILL BLESS YOU. GENESIS 24, ONE, HE WAS BLESSED IN EVERYTHING. I

TOLD HIM, I SAID, I'M GONNA BE COMING TO YOU MORE, 'CAUSE I'M

NOT BLESSED IN EVERYTHING. SO WE'VE BEEN HAVING CONVERSATIONS,

I DON'T BLAME HIM. I BRING IT BEFORE HIM AND SAY, YOU'RE NOT

LACKING ON YOUR PART AND YOUR COVENANT SON ISN'T EITHER. SO

FATHER, DISPERSE THE FUNDS. WEALTH AND

POSSESSIONS, GENESIS 13, TWO, LOOK AT THIS. AND I'VE ABRAHAM

BECAME VERY WEALTHY IN LIVESTOCK. OH, WE HATE THOSE

WORDS, VERY WEALTHY. UHOH, YOU JUST SLAPPED JESUS IN THE FACE,

JUST LIKE THEY DID MOCKING HIM. YET HE BROUGHT THAT COVENANT

WHERE GOD BROUGHT WEALTH, BLESSING, ABUNDANT AND INCREASE.

WITH SILVER AND GOLD, MAN. I'M GONNA OFFEND YOU 'CAUSE I

ALREADY HAVE. MONEY. YEP, THAT'S GOD. NUMBER FOUR, GAVE HIM

FAVOR. LOOK AT GENESIS 23, VERSE SIX. LOOK WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT

ABRAHAM. YOU ARE A WHAT? YOU ARE A MIGHTY PRINCE AMONG US. THAT'S

FAVOR. COME ON, ARE WE A MIGHTY CHURCH? ONLY IF WE CAN GET THE

MEAT UP IN THE STOREHOUSE TO BE FULL. NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUS.

NOBODY TOOK ME SERIOUS WHEN I WAS THE UGLIEST CHURCH IN TOWN.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUS NOW, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT MY INFLUENCE SHIFTED. WHERE I HAVE

PEOPLE, AND SOME OF YOU, YOU WATCH, IF I MENTION THEIR NAMES

IN GOVERNMENT, YOU SAY, "THEY ACTUALLY TALK TO YOU, "WANNA

TALK TO YOU, REACH OUT, WATCH, "SHARE PROPHECIES WITH THE BIG

GUY?" YES. NOT WHEN I HAD THE UGLIEST CHURCH IN TOWN. YOU'RE A

PRINCE. WHO DID THAT? THE COVENANT KEEPING GOD. YES.

FAVOR, YOU'RE A MIGHTY PRINCE. CHILDREN ARE BLESSED. LOOK AT

GENESIS 26:13. "FOR THE MAN WAXED GREAT AND WENT FORWARD

Genesis 26:13

"AND GREW UNTIL HE BECAME VERY GREAT." WHO WAS DOING THAT? IT

WAS THE COVENANT. FOR HE HAD POSSESSIONS OF FLOCKS,

POSSESSIONS OF HERD, AND ALL OF THIS WAS PASSED DOWN TO ABRAHAM,

ISAAC, AND TO JACOB. GENESIS 25, FIVE, AND ABRAHAM GAVE ALL THAT

HE HAD UNTO ISAAC. SO NOW HIS CHILDREN ARE BLESSED. SOME OF

US, THE ONLY THING WE LEAVE OUR KIDS IS THE BILL FOR THE

FUNERAL. RIGHT? WHY DOES THE BIBLE SAY A GOOD MAN LEAVES AN

INHERITANCE FOR HIS CHILDREN AND HIS CHILDREN? IF YOU KNOW YOUR

COVENANT AND YOU'RE BLESSED. MATERIAL BLESSINGS, PSALM 105

Psalms 105:44

VERSE 44. ABRAHAM FELL HEIR TO WHAT OTHERS TOILED FOR, IT SAYS.

LOOK AT NIV, YOU GOTTA SEE IT IN THE NIV. LOOK AT PSALM 104. SO

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU HAVE MATERIAL BLESSINGS THAT YOU

DIDN'T EVEN WORK FOR. HOW MANY ALWAYS LIKE TO BE THE MANAGER?

HOW MANY ALWAYS LIKE TO HAVE, HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE IT IF OTHER

PEOPLE MADE MONEY FOR YOU AND YOU GOT BLESSED? HOW MANY OF YOU

WOULD LOVE FOR PEOPLE TO WORK HARD AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO

ANYTHING? WELCOME TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, BY THE WAY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BOY, THAT WAS FANTASTIC AND YOU

DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING. AND I WAS REALLY TALKING, LISTEN,

THERE'S A LOT OF HORRIBLE PEOPLE TODAY. IT'S THE WAY IT IS. HE

GAVE THEM LANDS AND THEY FELL HEIR TO WHAT OTHERS HAD TORE UP

FOR. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE'S A CERTAIN POINT WITH THE ABRAHAMIC

BLESSING THAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND. PEOPLE WERE DROPPING

BLESSINGS INTO HIS HANDS. LONG LIFE, I SHOWED YOU THAT, GENESIS

Genesis 15:15

15:15. AND, ARE YOU READY? BEING A BLESSING TO OTHERS,

GENESIS 12:1. I WANT US TO STAND TO OUR FEET AND I WANT AT

Genesis 12:1

THIS TIME, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ABOUT TO BE RECEIVED INTO THIS

CHURCH, YOU ARE PART OF THE COVENANT THAT WE MADE WITH GOD.

AND GOD, WHEN HE CALLED BRENDA AND I, SO IF YOU HAVE GONE

THROUGH MEMBERSHIP CLASS, I WANT YOU TO STAND UP FRONT AND JUST

FACE ME. I WANT THE PASTORAL STAFF TO COME FOR JUST A FEW

MOMENTS. WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE THESE PEOPLE IN. WE'RE GONNA LAY

HANDS ON THEM BRIEFLY HERE BECAUSE WE WANT TO IMPART WHAT

BRENDA AND I ARE IN COVENANT WITH GOD. WHEN HE SAID, "COME TO

OMAHA, NEBRASKA," WE SAID, "YES, SIR." WE DID IT, AND AS A

RESULT, GOD BLESSED US. NOW HERE'S WHAT I WANNA MENTION TO

ALL OF YOU THAT ARE COMING UP HERE TODAY TO BE RECEIVED IN A

MEMBERSHIP. AND THOSE OF YOU ARE EMEMBERS, WE RECEIVE YOU TODAY.

WE EXTEND THAT BLESSING TO MANY OF YOU. WE'RE GETTING READY

AFTER THE CONFERENCE TO HAVE GO BACK TO CHURCH DAY. IT'S THE

NATIONAL BACK TO CHURCH DAY. AND I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT

SOMETHING. WHY SHOULD WE EVER HAVE TO HAVE IN OUR COUNTRY, A

CHRISTIAN NATION, A GO BACK TO CHURCH DAY? AND YET THE MUSLIMS

ROLL OUT THEIR RUGS AND FAITHFULLY EVERY MORNING, THEY

DO THEIR CHANTS AND BLOW THEIR HORNS. AND WE GOTTA CONVINCE THE

CHRISTIANS TO GET TO CHURCH OR TO CONNECT ONLINE AND NOT FLIP

THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT CHURCHES. IF YOU DON'T LIKE

SOMETHING THAT THE PREACHER SAYS, YOU GO CHECK OUT KENT

CHRISTMAS OR THE OTHERS OUT THERE. THAT AIN'T FINDING YOUR

CHURCH WHEN YOU DO THAT. SO IF YOU ARE ONLINE, IDENTIFY YOUR

PASTOR AND GO TO CHURCH. NOW, I WANNA ASK YOU A QUESTION. NEXT

WEEK I'LL SHOW YOU THE ANSWER OF WHAT TOOK OUT GOLIATH. YOU WANT

ME TO TELL YOU? CAN YOU WAIT A WEEK? ALL RIGHT. FIRST SAMUEL

1 Samuel 17:36

17, VERSE 36. HERE IT IS. SO DAVID IS BEFORE SAMUEL. WE ARE

IN COVENANT TOGETHER. IN OTHER WORDS, I BRING THE BLESSINGS OF

THIS MINISTRY TO YOU AND YOUR JOB THEN IS TO SERVE AND BRING

THE BLESSING OF THE MINISTRY BACK BY BEING INVOLVED, BY

GIVING, BY BEING FAITHFUL, BY ATTENDING, IT'S A MUTUAL, IT'S

NOT JUST PASTOR LAYING HANDS ON YOU, WE'RE JUST DOING THE NUMBER

THING, IT'S A MUTUAL THING. I WORK FOR YOU, YOU WORK FOR US IN

THIS MINISTRY, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY PASTOR DOUG IS AMAZING, HIM AND

PASTOR KEITH, PASTOR ANTHONY AS WELL. I'M SEEING YOU. YOU GUYS

ARE AMAZING AT PASTORAL CARE. YOU HAVE SOMETHING, OUR SIDE OF

THE COVENANT IS, WE'RE GONNA HELP YOU. WE'LL COME MINISTER TO

YOU. BUT YOU'LL MINISTER TO US IN YOUR FAITHFULNESS. THINK IN 1

1 Samuel 17:36

SAMUEL 17, VERSE 36. HERE'S WHAT REALLY TOOK OUT GOLIATH. "YOUR

SERVANT HAS KILLED BOTH THE LION AND THE BEAR." WE'LL TALK ABOUT

THAT NEXT WEEK. BUT WHO IS THIS UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE? WHICH

SHOULD BE LIKE ONE OF THEM BECAUSE HE'S DEFIED THE ARMIES

OF THE COVENANT GOD. HANK, TRANSLATION. HE HAD A REVELATION

OF HIS COVENANT. THAT'S WHY HE CALLED PHILISTINE WHAT HE WAS,

GOLIATH. HE WAS UNCIRCUMCISED, HE WAS NOT PART OF THE COVENANT.

WHATEVER GIANT YOU'RE FACING TODAY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT

NEXT WEEK. YOU NEED TO HAVE A REVELATION AND AN UNDERSTANDING

OF YOUR COVENANT, OUR COVENANT TOGETHER WITH GOD. AND YOU WATCH

YOUR GIANTS FALL. IT'S THE VERY THING HE SAID TO THE PHILISTINE.

PHILISTINE SAYS, "I'M GONNA DO THIS AND THAT." COME ON, THE

DEVIL'S LYING TO SOME OF YOU, YOU IN THIS, YOU'RE GONNA SAY,

"NO, WHO ARE YOU? "YOU UNCIRCUMCISED, YOU'RE NOT EVEN

OF THE COVENANT." SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SICKNESS, SHUT UP,

POVERTY, SHUT UP, LONELINESS. SHUT UP, I'M GONNA CUT YOUR HEAD

OFF 'CAUSE YOU'RE UNCIRCUMCISED, YOU AIN'T PART OF THIS COVENANT.

RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL TALK ABOUT. NOW I WANNA SAY

ONE THING. YOU THAT ARE HERE AND YOU THAT ARE OUR EMEMBERS, THIS

IS VERY IMPORTANT. DO YOU KNOW IN PSALM 22, ONE OF THE MOST

QUOTED THINGS IN THAT PSALM IS, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU

FORSAKEN ME?" BUT PEOPLE DON'T KEEP READING. BECAUSE JESUS IN

THE MESSIANIC FORM SAYS IN PSALM 22, "WHEN I CRIED, YOU DIDN'T

FORSAKE ME. "WHEN I CRIED, YOU HEARD ME." "BUT THEN THERE WAS

SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T GET ANY ATTENTION, "AND IT'S WHY HIS

BONES WERE NOT BROKEN, "BECAUSE HE DID THAT COVENANT SO THAT WE

COULD TOGETHER, "WORK TOGETHER TO TOUCH OTHERS "TO BRING THEM

INTO THE COVENANT THROUGH SALVATION." LOOK AT WHAT THE

BIBLE SAYS IN PSALM 22, WHAT JESUS WAS DOING ON THE CROSS. IN

VERSE 22, I BELIEVE IT IS, IF THEY COULD PUT THAT ONE UP. NOW

ONE TRANSLATION SAYS ON THE CROSS, HE LITERALLY WAS SINGING

BECAUSE HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU THAT ARE STANDING UP HERE AND

YOU THAT ARE THE EMEMBERS. HE WAS SINGING BECAUSE HE REALIZED

THEY'RE GONNA PIERCE HIS SIDE AND OUT WOULD COME HIS CHURCH.

AND HE WAS SINGING ABOUT IT. YOU THINK ALL HE WAS DOING JUST

SUFFERING UP THERE. YEAH, HE WAS, BUT HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU.

THIS IS HOW IMPORTANT CHURCH IS, TO ASSEMBLE TOGETHER AND TO BE

IN COVENANT WITH HIM TOGETHER AND WITH A GOOD PASTOR AND A

GOOD CHURCH. FATHER, I EXTEND MY HANDS NOT ONLY TOWARDS THE

EMEMBERS, BUT EVERY ONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. AND THAT

ANOINTING THAT YOU PLACED UPON BRENDA AND I IN COVENANT WITH

YOU, FATHER, FOR THIS MINISTRY, FOR THIS WORK, WE RELEASE UPON

THE PEOPLE, TO THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, AND THE SAME GRACE

THAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO BRENDA AND I, WE EXTEND TO THESE PEOPLE.

NOW WE COME DOWN AND WE LAY OUR HANDS UPON EACH OF THESE PEOPLE,

AND WE EXTEND IT TOWARDS YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. IN FACT, I'M

HOLDING MY PHONE, WHERE'S THE SHOT? THIS REPRESENTS YOU, OUR

EMEMBERS, I'M HOLDING IT AND I'M RELEASING THAT SAME

ANOINTING IN THE NAME OF YESHUA, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE

THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, LORD, WE RECEIVE

THESE PEOPLE INTO THIS HOUSE. WE ARE COVENANTED. RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING IN THE NAME OF YESHUA. RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE

THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT ANOINTING, RECEIVE THAT

ANOINTING RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF YESHUA. NOW I WANT YOU TO

GIVE THESE PEOPLE A HAND CLAP RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE IN

COVENANT WITH US. I WANT YOU TO TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT THESE

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE RIGHT OUT HERE AS PASTOR DOUG COMES. THIS IS

YOUR FAMILY. WE ARE IN COVENANT TOGETHER AND WE NEED TO HAVE

THIS SAME DEAL. ARE YOU READY? WHO ARE THE UNCIRCUMCISED

PHILISTINES THAT WANT TO CHALLENGE US IN OUR COVENANT?

DON'T EVER LET PEOPLE DIVIDE YOU AS THE CHURCH. AND MAY WE SHOW

THAT WE ARE PEOPLE WHO LOVE OUR GOD BY ASSEMBLING AND COMING

TOGETHER, AMEN? ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOUR SEATS.

PRAISE GOD. PASTOR DOUG, HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO DO REAL QUICK.

PASTOR DOUG, I WANT TO KNOW, AND WE'RE GOING TO JUST BE BOLD.

THIS IS BOLD SUNDAY. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE TODAY, YOU'RE NOT

PART OF THE COVENANT, WHERE YOU'VE NEVER ASKED JESUS CHRIST

TO COME INTO YOUR HEART. MAYBE YOU'RE ONLINE TO FORGIVE YOUR

SINS. IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY AND YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I WANNA

BE PART OF THAT COVENANT. I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND, RAISE IT

UP BOLDLY, PUT THE HAND UP, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

ONLINE. ANYBODY HERE, ANYBODY HERE, ANYBODY HERE? ALL RIGHT,

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. WE'RE GONNA PRAY THIS PRAYER.

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AND LET US KNOW IF YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY

AND YOU'VE PRAYED THIS PRAYER. WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN SEND

MATERIAL OR IF YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM, WE'LL HAVE THE PRAYER

TEAM. IN FACT, IF THEY COULD COME UP RIGHT NOW, DIFFERENT

ONES, ALTAR TEAM, IF YOU NEED PRAYER OR YOU PRAY THIS PRAYER

THAT I'M ABOUT TO PRAY, THEN YOU COME UP AND THEY'LL PRAY WITH

YOU AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU SOME MATERIAL TO HELP YOU GROW. BUT

LET'S PRAY THIS PRAYER AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE DISMISSED. UNLESS

YOU HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. NOPE, THEN HE'S JUST STANDING HERE AS

A GOOD LOOKING MAN THAT HE IS. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) WITH A

GREAT ABRAHAMIC COVENANT HAIR. LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT THAT. ALL

RIGHT, SAY THIS WITH ME. HEAVENLY FATHER, AND YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, HEAVENLY FATHER, WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS

TRUE. THE BIBLE SAYS, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THEIR HEART THAT GOD

RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALL BE SAVED. WE BELIEVE THAT.

THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS, "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD TO

BE SAVED SHALL BE SAVED." WE WILL ENTER INTO COVENANT. SO WE

DO THAT RIGHT NOW. JESUS, COME INTO OUR HEART. FORGIVE US OF

OUR SINS. BE THE LORD OF OUR LIVES. AND FROM THIS MOMENT

FORWARD, WE SHALL SERVE YOU. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, IF YOU

PRAYED THAT PRAYER, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME DOWN, OR IF YOU

NEED PRAYER, COME ON DOWN, THERE'S AN ALTAR WORKER HERE. IF

YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER, PASTOR DOUG, THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND

CONTACT OUR MINISTRY, AND WE WILL-YES. AND CALL, AND WE

WILL BE THERE FOR YOU AS WELL. ALL RIGHT, REST OF THE CHURCH,

ARE YOU READY FOR NEXT WEEK'S MESSAGE? YES. AMEN. ALL

RIGHT, WELL, HAVE A GOOD TIME. I LOVE YOU, GO IN PEACE. YOU'RE

DISMISSED, AND GO OUT AND GET SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT. YES.

AMEN, PRAISE GOD. I LOVE YOU, I'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW. THERE ARE

WATER BAPTISMS FOLLOWING. IF YOU WANT TO JOIN US UP AT THE SOUTH

AUDITORIUM, YOU CAN JOIN FOR THE WATER BAPTISMS THAT ARE TAKING

PLACE IN A FEW MINUTES. AMEN. YES.
