(MUSIC)

COME ON CHURCH, GET UP ON YOUR FEET.

WE'RE GONNA DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF GOD THIS MORNING.

(MUSIC)

LORD, YOU ARE AMAZING.

YES. COME ON, LET'S SHOUT IT OUT.

LORD, YOU'RE GOOD. LORD, YOU'RE GOOD.

COME ON, SHOUT IT OUT.

LORD, YOU'RE GOOD.

WE LOVE YOU, GOD.

WE HONOR YOU TODAY.

AND WE ASK THAT YOUR GOODNESS WOULD PASS BY THIS

SERVICE TODAY AND TOUCH YOUR PEOPLE IN SUCH AN AMAZING WAY

THAT THEY'LL KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD.

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE HIM SAID, "AMEN."

THAT SOUNDED LIKE A TIRED RAIN, AMEN.

I'M GOING TO TRY IT AGAIN.

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID, "AMEN."

YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

WELL, IT'S NO SECRET IT'S RAINING.

IT IS REALLY RAINING.

AND YOU ALL CAME.

I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE

THAT. YEAH.

SO IT'S ALWAYS EASY WHEN IT'S RAINING AND YOU KNOW, WELL,

YOU COULD SLEEP IN, BUT YOU CHOSE TO BE HERE.

THEY GOT OUT THEIR ROWBOATS AND CAME.

IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

HOW MANY OF YOUR YARDS ARE JUST LIKE SUPER GREEN?

REMEMBER HOW BURNT THEY LOOK A FEW WEEKS AGO

AND NOW IT'S LIKE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

WELL, IT'S GOOD TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

AND I'M GLAD TO BE BACK.

I GOT OFF OF VACATION AND WENT INTO A CRAZY TRAVEL,

SO I'M KIND OF-- WELL, THE HOUSE FULL OF

DOGS IS GLAD YOU'RE HOME.

AND THE NEW PUPPY, I'M GLAD FOR THAT.

HE'S DOING GOOD TOO.

HE TAKES TWO PEOPLE TO KEEP AFTER HIM.

BUT HE'S DOING GOOD, ACTUALLY.

SHILOH'S DOING REALLY GOOD.

HE'S LEARNING ALL THE ROPES, LEARNED BY THE BIG DOGS.

AND HE STILL DOES A FEW NAUGHTIES, BUT HE'S GOOD.

I THINK HE'S DOING GREAT.

SO ANYWAY, NO, I'M MESSING WITH YOU.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, LISTEN, I WANT TO DO THIS.

I WANT TO GREET THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

ALSO AROUND THE WORLD.

TELL US WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING, IF IT'S RAINING, SUNNY.

IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF COOL TO SEE WHAT THE WEATHER IS LIKE.

OH, YES.

AND OF COURSE, ALL OF YOU IN TEXAS, YEAR-ROUND,

YOU JUST PUT HOT, YOU KNOW, AND ANTARCTICA,

ANARCHY, HOW DO THEY SAY IT AGAIN?

ANTARCTICA. ANTARCTICA.

NOBODY LIVES THERE.

NOBODY LIVES THERE, BUT IF YOU'RE WATCHING

FROM THERE ON A RADAR SITE OR SOMETHING,

WE KNOW THAT IT'S PROBABLY COLD, BUT I'VE GOT A GREAT WORD TODAY.

I'M GONNA CONTINUE THIS SERIES THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT,

ABOUT NOT MAKING AN ADO.

AND TODAY, THOSE OF YOU IN THIS ROOM

AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WE'RE GONNA REALLY

BRING IN THE CONTEXT THAT I THINK SOMETIMES WE

DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF IT, ESPECIALLY

WHEN IT COMES TO PRAYER AND GETTING ANSWERS TO PRAYER.

HOW MANY WANT ANSWERS TO PRAYER?

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING.

AND IT'S THE POWER OF OUR COVENANT,

WHAT JESUS PROVIDED AND REALLY WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US.

AND SO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT.

WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT THAT IS OURS.

SO IT'S REALLY, REALLY GONNA BE A GOOD MESSAGE.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, HEY, BEFORE WE WORSHIP,

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS READ THE NEWS.

DID Y'ALL HEAR ABOUT THIS?

THIS IS CRAZY.

SO THE ORTHODONTIST COMMUNITY, RUMOR HAS IT,

THEY ARE GOING TO STRIKE AND SOME THREATENING

TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

I THINK WE NEED TO BRACE OURSELVES.

[LAUGHTER]

THAT WAS A REALLY- YOU LIKED THAT ONE?

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE VISITING TODAY,

I GET ALL MY MATERIAL FROM, PASTOR DOUG, WOULD

YOU RAISE YOUR HAND IN THE FRONT ROW?

WELL, OKAY.

WELL, THAT SAID, ARE YOU EXCITED TO BE IN GOD'S HOUSE?

SO I WOULD SAY, SPEAKING OF DENTISTRY, YOU

SHOULD SMILE AT SOMEBODY.

TELL THEM YOU ARE SO GLAD THAT THEY'RE SITTING BESIDE YOU

AND NEAR YOU AND LET THEM KNOW THE GREATEST PLACE TO BE

ON A SUNDAY MORNING IS IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND ALL OF YOU UP TOP.

I DON'T KNOW, IT LOOKS A LITTLE DARKER IN HERE TODAY.

IS IT DARKER OR IS IT JUST ME?

I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE DARKER IN HERE.

SOMETHING A LITTLE DARKER.

I CAN'T LIKE SEE OUR PEOPLE UP TOP.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

DO WE HAVE A BALCONY SECTION TODAY?

THE LIGHTS ARE OFF UP THERE.

I DON'T KNOW, THERE'S NO LIGHTING UP THERE.

SOMETHING'S WEIRD. SORRY GUYS, WATCH YOUR STEP.

I MEAN, THEY CAN MAKE FACES AT ME

WHILE I PREACH, WE NEVER KNOW.

ARE THEY FIXING SOMETHING UP THERE, PASTOR MARK?

DO WE KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON?

I CAN'T SEE ANYBODY, BUT THEY'LL FIX IT.

HOW MANY OF YOU THINK IT'S OKAY?

THEY'LL FIX IT IF THERE'S SOMETHING OFF.

BUT SMILE AT SOMEBODY AND LET YOUR PEARLY WHITES SHOW.

EVEN IF IT'S A LITTLE DARKER AND JUST SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

AND THEN TOUCH YOURSELF AND SAY, SELF,

YOU SHOULD BE GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

YOU ARE IN THE LORD'S HOUSE AND YOU OUGHT TO BE EXCITED.

SO PUT YOUR HANDS UP TO HEAVEN.

SAY, LORD, I'M SMILING TODAY BECAUSE IT'S EXCITING TO BE

IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.

I'M GONNA GET BLESSED TODAY.

AND LORD, I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE.

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

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, CHURCH.

WE'VE GOT A NEW ONE FOR YOU THIS MORNING.

AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A HEAD START,

I'M GONNA TEACH YOU THE BRIDGE, OKAY?

(MUSIC)

THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THAT?

ALL RIGHT, I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE HITTING THE BRIDGE.

LET'S GO!

(MUSIC)

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

CHURCH, MY GOD IS GOOD.

LET ME HEAR YOU SING.

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

JESUS, WE WORSHIP YOU, JESUS.

LOVE OF GOD, WE WORSHIP YOU, JESUS.

EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS

(MUSIC)

THE TIME HAS NOW COME INTO THE EARTH. THE TIME THAT I HAVE

STEPPED FOOT IN A WAY THAT IN MODERN TIME SHALL BEHOLD THE

WONDER OF GOD. AND NOW IS THE TIME WHERE THINGS ARE SHIFTING,

CHANGING, REARRANGING, AND BEING SET UP FOR THE THINGS THAT I

HAVE DECLARED AND I HAVE PROMISED BEFORE. IT IS THIS

TIME. THEREFORE I SPEAK TO YOU AND I SAY TO YOU IN THIS COMING

SEASON AS IT UNFOLDS, SOME WILL BE FOOLED TO THINK THAT THINGS

ARE NOT OR HAVE NOT CHANGED BECAUSE THEY WILL MEASURE IT

BASED UPON THE SOUNDS OF NOISE. FOR I GIVE YOU A WARNING AND

ADMONITION. THE NOISE, THE NOISE, THE LEVEL OF NOISE IN THE

EARTH SHALL INCREASE. THE NOISE OF THE EARTH AS IT SHAKES, AS IT

TREMBLES. THE MAGNITUDE, THE SCALE GREATER IN SOME PLACES

THAN THEY'VE SEEN BEFORE. THE NOISE OF THUNDER, THE NOISE OF

THE WATERS, THE NOISE OF THE WIND, BOISTEROUS. BUT THIS IS

THE REACTION OF THE EARTH TO THE GOD WHO HAS PROMISED REST AND

THE GOD WHO HAS PROMISED TO SHIFT AND TO STILL THE EARTH.

MUST I REMIND YOU, SAYS THE LORD, THAT I'M THE GOD THAT

STILLED THE WATERS, CALMED THE STORM WHEN THERE WAS NOISE. DO

NOT BE MOVED. FOR THE NOISE OF THE ENEMY'S CAMP WILL BECOME

GREATLY LOUDER. THE VOLUME AS IT WOULD BE WILL BE RAISED BETWEEN

NOW AND EVEN THROUGH YOUR MIDTERMS. AS THE LIES WILL

INCREASE, THE NARRATIVES WILL INCREASE, THE THREATS WILL

INCREASE, THE ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE WILL INCREASE, AND THERE WILL BE

MUCH NOISE. EVEN THE SOUNDS THAT WOULD SEEM THAT WAR WOULD NOT

CEASE. NOISE IN ISRAEL. AND THERE IS YET A NOISE THAT IS

RISEN IN THE EARS OF YOUR PRESIDENT AND OF ITS CABINET.

NOW IS THE TIME. TWO STATES. YET THIS IS NOISE OF THE ENEMY WHO

SEEKS TO DIVIDE. AND THEY LOOK TO YOUR OCTOBER. I SAY BE

WARNED, BE WARNED. DO NOT LISTEN, PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND YOU

WHO STAND BY HIS SIDE IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, RED ALERT

OCTOBER, DO NOT DO WHAT THEY SAY, FOR IT MAY DETERMINE THE

REDNESS OF YOUR NOVEMBER. I AM THE GOD THAT HAS COME NOW. LET

THE NOISE ARISE, BUT NOT THE NOISE IN THE EARS OF YOUR

PRESIDENT OR ITS CABINET. DO NOT TOUCH THE APPLE OF MY EYE, SAYS

THE LORD. LORD, WE STAND IN A MOMENT OF AWE, OF ADORATION. WE

WORSHIP YOU. I FEEL LIKE SOME OF YOU IN THIS ROOM, YOU'VE BEEN

HEARING A LOT OF NOISE IN YOUR EARS THAT HAS ALTERED A LOT OF

THINGS. THE NOISE THAT YOU'RE HEARING IN YOUR EARS, YOU'RE

AGREEING WITH AND WHAT IT IS, IT'S THE NOISE OF THE EVIL ONE

WHO WOULD LOVE TO GET YOU TO ATTACK YOUR BRETHREN, TO GIVE

UP, TO BELIEVE THE LIES THAT YOUR SITUATION WILL NEVER

CHANGE. AS THE NOISE LEVEL ARISES IN THE EARTH, AND IT WILL

BE NOISY, AND IT'S GOING TO BE NOISY FROM THE ENEMY'S CAMP, AND

IT'LL BE VERY NOISY ON THE NEWS. MUCH NOISE, FOOLISHNESS, GOD IS

SAYING, AS THEY MUST GIVE VOICE TO A NEW NARRATIVE, NEW LIES,

NEW ACCUSATIONS, AS THEY SEEK TO CREATE DRAMA THE END OF

SEPTEMBER INTO YOUR OCTOBER AND MIDTERMS. DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE

WHO HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ALREADY. NOW FATHER, I PRAY FOR

THE PEOPLE. THESE ARE YOUR CREATION. THEY ARE THE

WORKMANSHIP OF THY HANDS. AND THEY ARE THE SHEEP OF YOUR

PASTURE. THEREFORE, AS THE GOOD SHEPHERD, I DO PRAY THAT YOU,

GOD, WOULD CAUSE THEM TO BE PROVIDED FOR WITH WHATEVER IT IS

THAT THEIR HEART IS LONGING FOR. PSALM 23, GOOD SHEPHERD, THEY

WILL NOT WANT. AND I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD LEAD THEM BESIDE STILL

WATERS AND THAT THEY WOULD AVOID THE NOISE, THE LIES, THE

NARRATIVES, THE DECEPTION THAT WILL ARISE AT ANOTHER LEVEL FOR

WE ARE ENTERING INTO THAT TIME. AND GOD I PRAY THAT EVEN THOUGH

THEY MAY WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF WHAT MAY APPEAR DARK AND

HOPELESS, THEY WILL FEAR NOT THE POWER OF EVIL FOR THOU ART WITH

THEM. AND I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD RESTORE THEIR SOUL. YOU WOULD

ANOINT THY HEAD WITH OIL THAT THEIR CUP MAY OVERFLOW. AND

SURELY, O GOD, LASTLY IN MY PRAYER ON THEIR BEHALF, WE SING

OF IT THIS DAY. SURELY YOUR GOODNESS AND YOUR MERCY SHALL BE

UPON THEM AND SHALL FOLLOW THEM, EVEN CAUSING THEIR HEALTH TO

SPRING FORTH QUICKLY, THE PRODIGALS TO RETURN, THE

WARFARE, LORD, TO CEASE, AND THE BLESSING OF THE POWER OF YOUR

HAND OF GOODNESS SHALL SHIFT THEM INTO THE BLESSING AND THE

PEACE AND THE STILLNESS AND THE REST THAT YOU HAVE PROMISED. AND

I HONOR YOU TODAY. AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT AGREE WITH THAT

SAID, AMEN. THANK YOU, LORD. I'VE NEVER HAD GOD TELL ME THIS,

BUT AS I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO TELL YOU TO GREET ONE

ANOTHER, HE SAID TO ME, WOW. HE SAID THAT WAS PART ONE. WOW,

COME ON. HE SAID, YOUR SPIRIT CANNOT CONTAIN THE INFORMATION

I'M ABOUT TO RELEASE REGARDING THIS NOISE. AND HE'S SAYING HE'S

GOING TO GIVE ME SPECIFICS. THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THAT. WE

HONOR YOU AT YOUR WORD. I'M YOUR SERVANT. THEY ARE YOUR SERVANTS.

I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING. WELL, IT'S SIMPLE. I WANT TO DO

SOMETHING. LACEY, YOU AND BROOKLYN, IF YOU'D COME, I

WANTED TO-- HER SWEET MAMA PASSED UNEXPECTEDLY. AND MANY OF

YOU DON'T KNOW THIS. WE KNEW LACEY WHEN SHE WAS MAYBE THREE

OR FOUR. AND HER FAMILY HAD A GREAT INFLUENCE IN OUR EARLY

YEARS OF THE MINISTRY. WE LOVED STACEY VERY MUCH. AND I KNOW YOU

DID NOT EXPECT HER TO GO ON TO HEAVEN THIS WEEK. AND WE LOVE

YOUR DAD, ALL THAT YOUR FAMILY INVESTED IN OUR LIFE IN LOTS OF

WAYS. I HEARD HER WHEN YOU GUYS WERE STAYING ON THE PROPERTY

WHERE WE USED TO ALL BE, KEEPING YOU KIDS IN LINE, TRYING,

HOLLERING UP AND DOWN. AND WE WERE JUST GETTING STARTED IN THE

MINISTRY AS YOUNG PUPS, AND SHE WAS MAMA STACEY. SO WE'RE SO

THANKFUL FOR ALL THAT SHE HAS BEEN, AND IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT MY HANDS ON YOU BOTH AND LET YOU

HAVE A CHURCH HUG AND EVERYBODY LOVE ON YOU GUYS. BUT FATHER, I

JUST THANK YOU NOW FOR YOUR GREAT PEACE AND YOUR GRACE,

FATHER, ON ALL THE WADICHESKI FAMILY. AND I JUST ASK, LORD, AS

YOU NAVIGATE THEM THROUGH THESE DAYS, FATHER, THE DAYS THAT ARE

BEFORE THEM, THEY WOULD FEEL YOUR ABSOLUTE DIVINE PEACE,

FATHER, THAT THEY WOULD SENSE YOUR VOICE. THEY WOULD KNOW

YOU'RE AROUND. THEY WOULD HEAR YOU AND FEEL YOU THROUGH THE

GRIEF AND THE LOSS. AND FATHER, THEY WOULD JUST HAVE A SENSE OF

KNOWING THE GREAT THINGS. THAT FATHER, EVEN WHEN THERE'S

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW ALL THE THINGS, WE

DON'T ALWAYS KNOW THE WHY, BUT FATHER, YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SHOW

THEM THROUGH AND TEACH THEM AND GUIDE THEM, PUT GRACE UPON THEM,

BIND THEM TOGETHER IN UNITY AS A FAMILY AND AS A HOUSE. FATHER, I

PRAY FOR JERRY, FATHER, THEIR FATHER, AND I JUST PRAY THAT,

FATHER, THIS WOULD BE A TIME WHEN YOU WRAP YOUR LOVE AROUND

THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY, AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT, LORD, IN THE

NAME OF JESUS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN AND AMEN. I LOVE YOU

GUYS. ARE YOU GOING TO BE AROUND? I WANT TO TALK TO YOU. I

HEARD THE LORD SAY SOMETHING TO ME OF THE WHY SHE'S IN HEAVEN.

AND IT'S NOT FOR THE PEOPLE. IT'S FOR YOU. IT'S FOR YOUR

FAMILY. HE TOLD ME SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO REALLY COMFORT

YOU. IT'S GOING TO COMFORT YOUR DAD. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC. AND I

WANT TO TALK TO YOU PRIVATELY. OKAY. CAN WE HAVE THAT HONOR?

OKAY. THANK YOU. COME ON, GIVE THEM JUST A CHURCH FAMILY HUG.

AMEN. ALL RIGHT. WELL TURN AROUND AND GREET ONE ANOTHER.

LOVE ON EACH OTHER IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. TELL SOMEBODY YOU

ARE SO GLAD THEY'RE HERE TODAY.

ANYTHING TO COME. SO OPENINGTHEHEAVENS.ORG IS THE

SITELET WHERE YOU CAN GO GET ALL OF THE INFORMATION. WE'LL BE

ALSO SHARING SOME PARKING INFORMATION, PASTOR MARK, SO LET

ANYBODY GET A CHANCE TO SEE THAT? IT WAS MY FIRST TIME ON

GET OUT THERE, DON'T LET ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM

REGISTERING, OPENINGTHEHEAVENS.ORG. IT'S

GONNA BE AMAZING AND YOU WANNA BE PART OF IT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S

PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP FOR TODAY AND I'M GONNA GO BACK

TO PROVERBS 3. AND I'VE KIND OF BEEN KIND OF REPEATING A FEW OF

THESE. I ALWAYS GO HOME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. I SHARE

SOMETHING ENCOURAGING IN THE OFFERING AND THEN I GO HOME AND

REALIZE I DIDN'T SAY SOMETHING IMPORTANT. SO I LIKE TO GO BACK

THE NEXT WEEK AND WRITE IT DOWN AND REMEMBER. SO IT SAYS, NOW

THIS IS A FAMILIAR VERSE, BUT THE FAMILIAR VERSES SOMETIMES

ARE THE BEST ONES TO DISSECT. TRUST, EVERYBODY SAY TRUST. NOW

I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS BE THINKING OF FINANCES HERE, BUT I PREACH

THESE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY APPLY TO A LOT OF THINGS IN OUR

LIFE. TRUST IN THE LORD. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE STRUGGLE

TO TITHE AND GIVE OFFERINGS SUBSTANTIALLY, SIMPLY BECAUSE

THEY STRUGGLE TO TRUST THE LORD. NOW, ALL I'M GONNA SAY IS

TRUSTING GOD, YOU DON'T HAVE TO, QUOTE, WORK AT TRUSTING GOD WHEN

THE GOOD WINDS OF LIFE ARE BLOWING. IT'S WHEN THERE'S

ADVERSITY, THERE'S A STORM, RIGHT? THERE'S CHALLENGES,

THERE'S IMPOSSIBLE, OR I SHOULDN'T SAY IMPOSSIBLE, I

SHOULD SAY SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE, SITUATIONS THAT COME UP. WE HAVE

TO TRUST GOD WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH. THAT'S THE KEY, RIGHT? SO

IT SAYS TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE

GONNA HAVE TO PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT. YOU KNOW HOW YOU HEAR

PEOPLE SAY, PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT. LIKE DO IT WITH ATTITUDE, DO

IT WITH STRENGTH, DO IT WITH DETERMINATION. WE HAVE TO MAKE

IT INTENTIONAL. WE HAVE TO MAKE IT OUR FOCUS. I AM GONNA TRUST

GOD. WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING ON THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S

GOING RIGHT, THAT'S THE TIME NOT TO WRING YOUR HANDS AND REPEAT

THE FEAR OR THE FRUSTRATION OF THE SITUATION AT HAND. THAT'S

THE TIME TO SAY, "NO, GOD, I TRUST YOU." AND EVEN IF YOU FEEL

LIKE YOU DON'T TRUST HIM IN YOUR HEART, YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR MOUTH

INTO IT, YOU'RE DOING IT, YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR HEART INTO WHAT IT

MEANS, COME ON SOMEBODY, TO TRUST GOD. TRUST IN THE LORD

WITH ALL YOUR HEART. IN OTHER WORDS, WORK AT IT. AND THEN IT

SAYS, AND IT TELLS YOU HOW TO DO THAT. NUMBER ONE, IF YOU WANNA

TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, DON'T LEAN OR RELY ON

YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. THIS IS WHERE WE GET TRIPPED UP

SOMETIMES. THIS IS WHERE WE START FORMULATING ALL OF OUR

THOUGHTS AND WHAT WE SHOULD DO AND WHAT OUR RESPONSE SHOULD BE

OR WHAT, HERE, WHERE, WHY. YOU KNOW, THIS IS HUMAN NATURE,

RIGHT? I BELIEVE ABSOLUTELY, 100%, ONE OF THE GREATEST WAYS

WE WALK IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT OF SELF-CONTROL. YOU

KNOW, WE THINK SELF-CONTROL IS, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T GET MAD IN

TRAFFIC, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, OR ANGRY BECAUSE THEY FORGOT TO PUT

PICKLE ON MY HAMBURGER AT THE DRIVE-THRU. WE THINK THAT'S

SELF-CONTROL. BUT REALLY, SELF-CONTROL STARTS HERE. IT

STARTS WITH WHAT WE LET GO ON IN OUR THOUGHTS. SELF-CONTROL IS,

I'M NOT GONNA COP AN ATTITUDE 'CAUSE SOMEBODY MADE ME

IRRITATED AT CHURCH. I CAN'T WORSHIP GOD NOW BECAUSE SOMEBODY

IRKED ME. OR SOMEBODY HURT OUR FEELINGS, SO NOW SELF-CONTROL

SAYS I GOTTA THINK AND RESPOND A CERTAIN WAY. SELF-CONTROL SAYS,

NO, I WALK IN THE SPIRIT NO MATTER WHAT GOES ON OUT HERE.

AND THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS, THE CONTROL, THE SELF-CONTROL, NOT

TO RELY ON OUR OWN REASONING. OKAY, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THE

BIBLE SAYS THAT THE WISDOM THAT COMES FROM HUMANS OR FROM THE

EARTH IS EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH, THE BIBLE SAYS IN

JAMES 3. BUT THAT WHICH COMES FROM ABOVE IS SPIRITUAL. AND

THERE'S LIFE AND THERE'S PEACE ATTACHED TO IT. SO WHEN YOU'RE

IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE HAVING TO TRUST GOD, RIGHT?

THAT'S THE TIME NOT TO LET YOUR HEAD JUST RUN FREE WITH CRAZY

THOUGHTS, FEARFUL THOUGHTS, ANGRY THOUGHTS, FRUSTRATED

THOUGHTS. WHAT AM I GONNA DO THOUGHTS? ANXIOUS THOUGHTS. YOU

KNOW, I BELIEVE REALLY ALL OF THESE PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE TODAY

WHO ARE FILLED WITH ALL KINDS OF ANXIETY AND MENTAL DISORDERS,

IT'S SELF-CONTROL THAT WAS NEVER PUT IN CHECK. WE'VE GOT TO SPEAK

TO THOSE EMOTIONS. TELL THEM YOU'RE NOT THINKING THAT RIGHT

NOW. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GO ON IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW. I REBUKE

THOSE THOUGHTS. LEAN NOT TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING 'CAUSE WE WILL GET

OFF PATH EVERY TIME WHEN WE GO THAT WAY. BUT LOOK AT THE NEXT

ONE. AND THEN IT SAYS, "IN ALL YOUR WAYS." SO THE FIRST WAY WE

TRUST GOD IN FINANCES, RIGHT? 'CAUSE MAYBE YOU'RE IN HERE AND

YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH YOUR TITHE. WELL, THE FIRST WAY THAT

YOU TRUST IN THE LORD IS FIRST OF ALL, VERBALIZE, GOD, I TRUST

YOU. COME ON, THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST PRAYERS. GOD, I TRUST YOU.

SECONDLY, DON'T FORMULATE UP ALL THINGS IN YOUR MIND. YOU KNOW,

THE DEVIL'S ALWAYS GOOD. I LOVE WHAT PASTOR WAS SAYING EARLIER.

THE ENEMY'S ALWAYS HERE WITH NOISE, ALWAYS TRYING TO GET YOU

TO RESPOND A CERTAIN WAY. AND DON'T GIVE HIM THAT PLEASURE.

DON'T LEAN TO OUR UNDERSTANDING, OKAY? DEVIL, GET OFF MY

THOUGHTS. I REBUKE THAT. COME ON, HAVE YOU EVER HAD A FEARFUL

THOUGHT OR SOMETHING TRY TO HIT YOU? YOU'RE GOING THROUGHOUT THE

DAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMETHING TRIES TO HIT YOUR

MIND? YOU KNOW, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE LIKE, WAIT A

MINUTE, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? WELL, REBUKE THAT. SAY,

NO, MY MIND IS NOT ALLOWED TO GO THERE. I'M NOT GONNA LEAN ON

THAT UNDERSTANDING. I'M GONNA TRUST GOD. SO THAT'S THE FIRST

THING YOU DO IS YOU DON'T LEAN, YOU ACTIVELY. I LIKE WHAT ONE

PERSON SAID, WHEN THINGS HIT YOUR MIND, SAY, I RELEASE THAT

OUT OF MY SOUL REALM. I CAST THAT OUT. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS

TO CAST THE CARE ON HIM. IT MEANS I'M NOT GONNA SIT THERE

AND LET IT CLUTTER UP MY THOUGHTS. OKAY, THE NEXT ONE IS,

AND IN ALL YOUR WAYS, ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. I SHARED WITH

YOU LAST WEEK, PASTOR AND I WERE FIRST, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET

INTO THE MINISTRY FULL TIME, AND WE WERE NOT ABLE TO PAY OUR

BILLS. YOU KNOW, WE WERE TRAVELING MINISTERS, AND WE

WOULD TRAVEL IN OUR CAR. WE HAD AN OLD OLDSMOBILE, A BIG OLD, IT

WAS A LUXURY CAR THAT WE HAD BOUGHT, USED FROM SOMEBODY. WHAT

WE DIDN'T KNOW IN OUR 25-YEAR-OLD BIG KNOWLEDGE THAT

IT WAS A, WELL, PASTOR KNEW IT WAS A V8 ENGINE, BUT IT DRANK

GAS LIKE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN

WE'RE ALREADY ON EMPTY? AND WE'D FILL IT UP, AND IT WOULD BE A

BAZILLION DOLLARS IN OUR MIND, AND WE WOULD TRAVEL ACROSS

NEBRASKA IN THAT CAR, AND WE WOULD PREACH. AND BY THE TIME WE

GOT OUR HONORARIUM, WE WOULD USE IT ALL IN GAS. WE PREACHED FOR A

CHURCH IN LINCOLN ONE TIME WHERE THEY WOULDN'T EVEN SPRING FOR A

HOTEL FOR US, SO WE HAD TO DRIVE BACK AND FORTH EACH NIGHT. WE

USED ALL THE MONEY THEY PAID US FOR THE GAS. AND FINALLY, AFTER

WE GOT PAID, YOU KNOW WHAT PASTOR HANK DID? WE WERE COMING

HOME, I THINK WE SPENT CLOSE TO $200 IN JUST TRAVEL AND JUST

GOING BACK AND FORTH TO LINCOLN EVERY DAY. AND WE GOT OUR

HONORARIUM CHECK AND IT WAS $200. AND WE OPENED IT UP AND

PASTOR, I GO, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? WE CAN'T EVEN PAY OUR BILLS.

AND YOU KNOW, PASTOR, HE SAYS, GET FOUR MINISTRIES THAT BELIEVE

IN HEALING AND PROSPERITY. AND I WANT YOU TO WRITE FOUR $50

CHECKS AND WE ARE GONNA MAIL THOSE OUT AND GIVE THOSE AWAY.

'CAUSE IT'S CERTAINLY NOT GONNA HELP US NOW. SO WE DID THAT AND

THE REST IS HISTORY. WE HAD MANY TESTIMONIES THAT CAME FROM THAT,

ONE OF MANY. BUT THE POINT IS, SO WE WERE TRAVELING AND THERE

WAS A DAY I FINALLY SAID, "HONEY, WE GOTTA PAY OUR BILLS.

"I'M GONNA GO GET A JOB AT A BANK." AND I ASKED THE LORD, I

SAID, "YOU KNOW, GOD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. "I CAN'T

COME UP WITH ANOTHER FIRST OF THE MONTH AND NOT BE ABLE TO PAY

THE RENT." SO I SAID, "LORD, HE THAT DOESN'T WORK DOESN'T EAT."

SO WE GOT UP AND WE WENT AND STARTED TO LOOK FOR WORK. BUT

YOU KNOW, WHEN I PRAYED, I SAID, "LORD, IF I'M DOING THE WRONG

THING, YOU STOP US." COME ON, THAT IS A GOOD PRAYER TO PRAY.

"IF I'M MAKING THE WRONG DECISION, LORD, PREVENT ME. I'M

GONNA STEP FORWARD 'CAUSE I HAD TO DO SOMETHING AND YOU GUIDE

IT. I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU IN ALL THY WAYS. COME ON SOMEBODY,

ACKNOWLEDGE GOD. THE PROBLEM THAT WE GET INTO AND WHY WE GET

IN TROUBLE IS WE LEAVE GOD OUT OF THE CONVERSATION. WE LEAVE

HIM OUT OF THE EQUATION. AND THEN WE WANT HIM TO FIX IT ON

THE OTHER SIDE WHEN WE MESS THINGS UP. ALL RIGHT, ANYBODY

EVER BEEN THERE OR JUST ME? ALL RIGHT, IN ALL THY WAYS

ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. AH, THAT MEANS GOD, ALL RIGHT, IT'S YOUR WAY

AND NOBODY ELSE'S, I'M ASKING YOU TO REVEAL IT TO ME. EVEN

WHEN I DON'T FEEL IN THE NATURAL THAT I KNOW WHAT TO DO, GOD, I'M

GONNA MAKE SOME STEPS AND I'M ASKING, YOU KNOW, GOD HAS THIS

AMAZING WAY. IF YOU'LL JUST INCLUDE HIM IN THE TALK, IN THE

CONVO, IF YOU'LL JUST INCLUDE HIM IN THE SITUATION, IF YOU'LL

JUST MAKE HIM PART OF IT, EVEN IF YOU START TO VEER OFF TRACK,

GOD HAS THIS AMAZING WAY TO JUST BRING YOU RIGHT BACK. WHEN WE

LEAVE HIM OUT, WE ALWAYS GET IN TROUBLE. AND GOD, IT SAYS, HE

WILL DIRECT YOUR PATHS. ALL RIGHT, LET ME READ THE LAST ONE,

I PROMISE I'LL BE DONE. BE NOT WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES. WOO! BOY,

I'LL TELL YOU, IF SOCIAL MEDIA ISN'T FILLED WITH A BUNCH OF

PEOPLE THAT ARE WISE IN THEIR OWN EYES. EVERYBODY KNOWS

EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING. AND THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU THAN

YOU DO. ISN'T THAT SOMETHING? SOCIAL MEDIA ADVICE WITH PEOPLE

THAT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S AMAZING TO ME. BE NOT

WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES. HERE'S HOW YOU FIX THAT. FEAR AND

REVERENCE THE LORD, DEPART FROM EVIL. THIS IS THE WAY YOU STAY

BLESSED FINANCIALLY. TRUST GOD, RELY ON HIM, AND HE HAS THIS

AMAZING WAY OF MAKING IT ALL TURN OUT IN THE END. AND YOU

KNOW WHAT, AT THAT TIME IN THOSE YEARS, I'LL SAY THIS LAST THING,

DON'T PUT UP THE GIVING INFORMATION. PASTOR AND I, MAN,

THERE'S A COUPLE TIMES WE THOUGHT, GOD, IF WE KEEP DOING

THIS, WE ARE DOOMED TO FAILURE. AND GOD HAD THIS AMAZING WAY TO

MAKE SURE, HE WAS LIKE, IF YOU JUST KNEW WHAT WAS COMING, IT'S

ALL GONNA TURN OUT IN THE END. COME ON, SOMEBODY, ISN'T THAT

GOOD? GOD'S FAITHFUL. ALL RIGHT, TEXT2GIVE, THE MOBILE APP

YOUR GLASSES. I LIKE IT. SHE'S A FOX. ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU COULD

BE SEATED USHERS. YOU CAN SERVE THE PEOPLE. LET ME ASK YOU A

QUESTION, DEE. YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT

MADE ME THINK OF THIS. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY LIKE, TAKE ME

OUT TO THE BALL GAME WHERE THEY DO THAT, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO

THAT? YOU KNOW, LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S A SEVENTH INNING STRETCH.

BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO HIT A GRAND SLAM IN MY MESSAGE THERE. GOOD

JOB, MAN. I LIKE THAT. THAT WAS NICE. AND YOU THREW OUT A BALL

THERE, BOB, SO IT- OH, CAN YOU PLAY "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL

GAME"? TAKE ME OUT TO THE- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SING. BALL

GAME. THAT'S YOUR SERVE, WHAT WE TAKE OUT TO THE BALL GAME HERE.

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, SING ALONG IN YOUR HOME WHILE

YOU EAT YOUR WAFFLES. THEY WILL PRACTICE AND HAVE IT DOWN, AND

THEN WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER BALL GAME. THAT'S THE THING ABOUT

THIS SEASON. IT'S A REALLY LONG SEASON, OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I

WANT YOU TO OPEN YOUR BIBLES TO LUKE CHAPTER 18, WE'LL GET

Luke 18 · chapter mention

STARTED. AND DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER FOR OPENING THE

HEAVENS. AND I DO WANNA INVITE YOU TO COME AND SEE THE VIDEO.

IT IS REALLY GOOD. AND BOY, ARE WE BUSY WRITING STORIES. AND THE

OTHER THING IS THAT, BRENDA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU MENTIONED TO

THEM, THE ANIMATOR, WE ALMOST HAVE FOUR VIDEOS THAT ARE

GETTING CLOSE TO BEING DONE. SO WE'VE BEEN REALLY WORKING HARD.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DID IS, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW MY

SERIES, MUTZVI AND MILO, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING? THAT

WAS THE FIRST CARTOON CHARACTERS GOD GAVE ME BACK IN 1984. AND HE

SAID, "HEY, I WANNA SOW INTO YOU. "I'M GOING TO PUT TOGETHER

YOUR FIRST MUTZVI AND MILO VIDEO." I'M THINKING, "OH, THIS

IS GREAT." SO JUST BEFORE I WENT ON VACATION, HE GOES, "HEY, DO

YOU HAVE TIME TO GO INTO THE STUDIO "AND DO ALL THE VOICES?"

AND LIKE I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT. SO I HAD TO COME UP

WITH LIKE FIVE OR SIX VOICES. AND SO THEY SAID, "HEY, IF YOU

EVER GET TIRED OF PASTORING, "YOU DO HAVE A JOB DOING

VOICES." AND I'M LIKE, "I'M NOT TIRED OF PASTORING, "I GET TIRED

IN PASTORING." HOW MANY WATCHED MY LUNCH WITH HANK ON TUESDAY?

YOU ENJOYING THAT? AND I WAS TIRED. I DON'T NORMALLY SAY

THAT, I JUST, I'M CAREFUL WITH MY WORDS BUT I WAS LIKE, "YOU

EVER HAD IT "WHERE YOU DON'T WANNA DO ANYTHING?" I SHOWED UP

AND I WORKED AND I DIDN'T WANNA GO TO WORK, BUT I'D ALREADY

COMMITTED, ALREADY COMMITTED TO ELIJAH STREAMS, FLASHPOINT. I

WAS LIKE, "I DON'T WANNA DO ALL THIS." ANYWAY, I ADJUSTED, YOU

KNOW, SO. LOOK AT LUKE CHAPTER 18. LET'S TALK ABOUT DON'T

Luke 18 · chapter mention

MAKING A DO, 'CAUSE SEE, I'M KINDA MAKING A DO, BUT LOOK AT

LUKE 18. AND I WANNA START THIS OFF AS MY TEXT TODAY AND THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING BECAUSE JESUS IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.

HOW MANY BELIEVE THAT HE'S ABOUT TO RETURN, HE'S GONNA RETURN,

AND EVERYBODY'S BEEN ARGUING FOR YEARS WHEN THAT RETURN'S GONNA

BE, BUT YOU CAN TAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AS A FACT, JACK.

HERE'S WHAT JESUS SAID. "AND SHALL NOT GOD AVENGE HIS OWN

ELECT?" WHICH CRIED DAY AND NIGHT, STOP RIGHT THERE. HOW

MANY OF YOU ARE READY FOR THE LORD'S AVENGING?

[CONGREGATION] YEAH.

HOW MANY NEED, HEY, YEAH, I HEAR IT IN THE CHEERING SECTION UP

THERE, I CAN'T SEE YOU, I FEEL LIKE MR. MAGOO, "I DON'T KNOW

WHERE YOU AT." OKAY, BUT ANYWAY, HOW MANY ARE READY FOR THE LORD

TO AVENGE YOU? YOU'VE HAD SOME STUFF, MAN, THAT YOU FEEL LIKE

HAS BEEN UNFAIR, UNJUST, IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR TOO LONG OR

SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT ALL. WE'RE IN THE TIME, GOD IS GOING

TO AVENGE HIS PEOPLE, WHICH CRY DAY AND NIGHT. NOW, IT'S

IMPORTANT HOW YOU CRY. IF YOU'RE JUST A CRY BABY, THERE AIN'T

PROBABLY GONNA BE ANY AVENGING, AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU. BE

CAREFUL WITH YOUR TEARS. GOD GAVE YOU EMOTIONS, BUT JUST

DON'T BE GOVERNED BY 'EM. THAT'S THE KEY. WHICH CRY DAY AND

NIGHT, THOUGH HE BEARS LONG WITH THEM. VERSE EIGHT, I TELL YOU

THAT HE WILL AVENGE THEM SPEEDILY. ALL RIGHT, STOP RIGHT

THERE. WE NEVER THINK GOD DOES ANYTHING FAST ANYMORE. WE READ

THOSE STORIES IN THE BIBLE WHERE JESUS HEALED THEM, IT SAID IN

THE KING JAMES, STRAIGHTWAY, SPEEDILY, SUDDENLY, AND WE'RE

LIKE, WELL, HOW COME IT ALWAYS SEEMS BIBLICALLY IN THE BIBLE,

EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE ADVANCED AT AN ACCELERATED RATE? THAT'S

NOT WHAT JESUS SAID. HE SAID, I'M GONNA AVENGE YOU SPEEDILY.

AND I FELT LIKE GOD IS SAYING THAT WITH THAT WORD TODAY ABOUT

THE NOISE AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING IS DON'T BE MOVED

BY THE NOISE. AND WHAT GOD IS INDICATING IS THE NOISE IS TO

THROW YOU OFF, TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT NOTHING'S HAPPENING,

NOTHING'S CHANGING, SO DON'T BE MOVED BY THE NOISE. SO PUT IT

BACK UP AGAIN, "SHALL HE NOT AVENGE HIM SPEEDILY? "AND WILL

THE SON OF MAN," WHAT WILL HE LOOK FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK? IS

HE GONNA FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH? IS HE GONNA, BUT YOU KNOW

WHAT I FEEL LIKE GOD IS FINDING? INSTEAD, HE'S FINDING BITTERNESS

AND FIGHTING. HE'S FINDING DIVISION AND STRIFE AND

UNBELIEF. NOW LET'S GO TO MARK CHAPTER FIVE. LET'S BEGIN AT

VERSE 35. THIS IS KIND OF THE STORY THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING

ABOUT TO DISCUSS HOW WE GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE GET SOME ANSWERS.

WELL, JESUS SPOKE, "THERE CAME FROM THE RULER OF THE

SYNAGOGUES, "HOW CERTAIN WHICH SAID, 'THY DAUGHTER IS DEAD.'

"WHY ARE YOU TROUBLING THE MASTER ANY FURTHER?" ALL RIGHT,

ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WITH THE VOICES OF THOSE WHO WANT TO HELP

YOU OUT, RIGHT? OR BRING NEWS TO YOU, RIGHT? YOU'RE STANDING FOR

SOMETHING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE NEWS, YOU HEAR SOMETHING ON

THE NEWS, RIGHT? TURN OFF THE NOISE. YOU'RE BELIEVING GOD FOR

YOUR FINANCES TO GET TURNED AROUND, AND THEN ALL OF A

SUDDEN, THE NOISE OF THAT BILL SHOWS UP IN YOUR MAILBOX. AND

THE NOISE OF WHAT YOU READ IS, OH, IT'S COSTING MORE, OR YOU

HAVE AN UNEXPECTED EXPENSE THAT YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT, OR THE

NOISE AT WORK THAT THEY'RE GONNA START LAYING PEOPLE OFF. IF

YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, YOU CAN START SLIDING. IT'S REALLY EASY

JUST BY INFORMATION. AND THIS INFORMATION WASN'T EVEN

ACCURATE. THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING THAT KEEPS PEOPLE IN A

PLACE IN THEIR LIVES SOMETIMES FROM GETTING A BREAKTHROUGH IS

WHAT THEY BELIEVE ABOUT GOD. RIGHT, HE'S A MAD SCIENTIST.

HE'S A, YEAH, RIGHT, HE'S A MAD SCIENTIST. HE MADE ALL OF THIS,

BUT HE'S MAD, HE'S ANGRY. GOD DOESN'T HEAL, OR HE HEALS SOME,

BUT SORRY, AIN'T YOUR DAY. THAT'S WHAT THESE PEOPLE WERE

DOING. DON'T TROUBLE THE MASTER. DID JESUS SAY THAT HE WAS

TROUBLED? DID JESUS EVEN INDICATE THAT HE WAS TROUBLED?

WHY WERE THEY MAKING UP A CHARACTER INDICTMENT ABOUT GOD

THAT WASN'T TRUE? WE DO THIS TODAY. OH, HE DON'T DO THOSE

MIRACLES TODAY. IN FACT, I WAS A BAPTIST AND ALL THOSE MIRACLES

PASSED AWAY BECAUSE GOD, YOU KNOW, HE DIDN'T THINK THAT WE

NEED THEM TODAY. I MEAN, WHY WOULD MIRACLES PASS AWAY? AREN'T

WE MORE NEEDING MIRACLES TODAY? ALL THAT PROPHECY STUFF, IT

PASSED AWAY. AND THEY READ THAT VERSE IN THE BOOK OF

CORINTHIANS, BUT IT ALSO SAYS KNOWLEDGE WILL CEASE. BUT THEY

TRY TO MAKE THEMSELVES SMARTER AND GET MORE AND MORE KNOWLEDGE.

WELL, WAIT A MINUTE, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT

VERSE, WHAT ABOUT KNOWLEDGE? SO THEY BRING INDICTMENTS. WHY ARE

YOU TROUBLING THE MASTER? JESUS NEVER SAID THAT HE WAS BOTHERED.

WATCH WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TAUGHT YOU ABOUT GOD'S MOOD, GOD'S

CHARACTER, 'CAUSE I'VE HAD PEOPLE, "OH, GOD IS SO ANGRY AT

AMERICA RIGHT NOW." AND I'M LIKE, "WHAT THRONE ROOM ARE YOU

VISITING?" I GO TO MY SECRET PLACE, AND GOD'S ACTUALLY IN A

VERY GOOD MOOD. HE'S GOT A LOT TO SAY, AND HE'S REALLY, REALLY

EXCITED. THOSE ARE MY EXPERIENCE, BUT MAYBE WE'RE

SERVING A SCHIZOPHRENIC GOD. I MEAN, HE MADE THE NORTH POLE AND

THE SOUTH POLE, MAYBE GOD IS BIPOLAR. YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S

GOD BIPOLAR, AND THE DAY THAT YOU WENT IN, YOU FOUND THAT GOD

WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT POLAR DAY YOU MEET, GOD,

RIGHT? DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT? NO, YOU DON'T, SO BE CAREFUL,

THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. TRY TO BRING AN UNTRUE CHARACTER

ASSESSMENT OR WHAT GOD WOULD OR WOULD NOT DO. AND THEY SAID THAT

DAUGHTER IS DEAD, BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY BASE EVERYTHING ON THE

NATURAL. I KNOW YOU'RE PRAYING FOR HEALING, BUT BOY, YOU SURE

LOOK SICK. IN FACT, DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING GREENER BY THE

MINUTE? MAN, YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOTEL, HOSPITAL ROOMS THAT I'VE

SHOWED UP AT? AND THE FIRST THING I GET BEFORE I WALK IN THE

DOOR IS RIGHT THERE, EVERYBODY'S ASSESSMENT OF WHAT IS GOING ON

FOR THEIR LOVED ONE IN THE OTHER ROOM. AND DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY

TIMES I HAVE MADE PEOPLE MAD? AND I'M LIKE, IS THERE ANYBODY

HERE THAT WILL JUST BELIEVE ME? I MEAN, WHY DID YOU BOTHER ME?

OKAY, CALL THE CATHOLICS, THEY'LL PRAY LAST RITES. OKAY, I

AIN'T HERE TO PRAY LAST RITES, I'M HERE TO HAVE THE RIGHT FOR

THAT PERSON TO HAVE A MIRACLE. SO DON'T CALL ME, RIGHT? YOU ALL

ARE IN THE RAINY, SLEEPY MOOD, AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T HAVE MY

ORGAN MUSIC, I'M STARTING TO HIT A GRAND SLAM, I'M UP TO BAT

HERE, I CAN FEEL IT, MAN. BUT YOU GOTTA WATCH PEOPLE, THEY'LL

ALWAYS GO THE WAY OF THE NEGATIVE. GET PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS

GRAVITATE. YEAH, BUT PASTOR HANK, IT WAS TRUE. DON'T YOU

KNOW SHE WAS DEAD? IT'S TRUE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, SOMETIMES

WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO ACTIVATE WELL, NOT SOMETIMES, BUT WHEN

YOU'RE TRYING TO ACTIVATE THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD OR THE

GOD FACTOR, YOU BETTER NOT SHIFT IN YOUR HEAD. NOW, IT'S OKAY TO

USE COMMON SENSE, BUT WHAT IS NOT OKAY IS TO GET SO IN YOUR

HEAD WHERE YOU REASON EVERYTHING. OH, SHE'S DEAD, NO

PULSE, AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE DOCTOR

SAID. WHO CREATED THE DOCTOR? (CONGREGATION MURMURS) THE BIBLE

SAYS, DOES THE CLAY HAVE ANY RIGHT TO SPEAK TO THE POTTER? I

MEAN, WE GIVE MORE POWER AND AUTHORITY TO THINGS IN THIS

NATURAL REALM, BUT WE FORGET THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

WHO MADE IT? COME ON, WHO MADE THOSE EGGS? I KNOW, I KNOW,

GRANDMA PROBABLY MADE IT AND YOU'RE EATING THEM AS YOU'RE

WATCHING ME, OR MAMA MADE IT, OR YOUR WIFE, OR WHATEVER. THAT'S

NOT THE POINT, THE POINT IS DON'T LIMIT GOD. NOW LET'S KEEP

READING. AS SOON AS JESUS HEARD THESE WORDS THAT WERE SPOKEN, HE

TURNED TO THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE. SEE, JESUS DIDN'T

GRAVITATE TOWARDS THAT, HE'S LOOKING FOR FAITH, FAITH IN THE

EARTH, SOMEONE THAT'LL BELIEVE, SOMEONE THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY

GIVE HIM ACCESS TO SHOW THAT HE IS GOD. AND HE SUFFERED NO MAN

TO FOLLOW HIM EXCEPT PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN, THE BROTHER OF

JAMES. SO UNDERLINE PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN. WHY DID HE

BRING PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN? BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU

BETTER BE CAREFUL IN TIMES OF NEED WHO YOU HAVE AROUND YOU AND

WHAT THEY REPRESENT. YOU GOT A BUNCH OF NEGATIVE FOLKS, THEY

AIN'T GONNA WORK. PETER REPRESENTS, JESUS CALLED HIM THE

ROCK. YOU NEED SOLID PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHEN BAD NEWS OR

SOMETHING HAPPENS OR YOU'RE TRYING TO SEE SOMETHING SHIFT IN

YOUR LIFE. WHY ARE YOU HANGING AROUND A BUNCH OF SAND

CHRISTIANS? THEY DON'T GET IN THEIR BIBLE, THEY DON'T BELIEVE

IN THE BIBLE ANYMORE, THEY'RE ALL WOKE, RIGHT? THEY DON'T KNOW

THE SCRIPTURES AND THEY THINK YOU'RE CRAZY FOR BELIEVING IT.

GET AROUND THE PETERS IN YOUR LIFE, GET AROUND ROCK SOLID

FAITH BELIEVING, BIBLE BELIEVING, GOD FACTOR PEOPLE,

RIGHT? PEOPLE THAT ARE POSITIVE. JAMES, HE BRINGS JAMES. AND NOW

YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND, THERE WAS 12 OF 'EM. AT LEAST, OR MAYBE

THERE WAS THE 70 WITH HIM AT THIS TIME, I DON'T KNOW. BUT

NOBODY GOT TO GO WITH JESUS BUT ARAK AND JAMES, WHO HIS NAME IS

LITERALLY ANOTHER FORM OF THE WORD JACOB. GET SOMEBODY WITH

YOU THAT KNOWS HOW TO WRESTLE WITH GOD FOR A BLESSING. GET

AROUND PEOPLE WHO GET ANSWERS. GET AROUND PEOPLE THAT DON'T

HAVE THE QUIT IN THEM. JACOB DID NOT HAVE THE QUIT IN HIM. AND

THAT'S WHAT JAMES REPRESENTS. IT'S THE GREEK WORD FOR JACOB.

GET AROUND PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO SAY, "GOD, I'M NOT LETTING GO

UNTIL YOU RAISE UP THIS SITUATION. I'M NOT LETTING GO

UNTIL YOU BLESS MY LIFE, MY MARRIAGE, MY CHILD, MY PRODIGAL,

MY JOB, MY BODY, MY NATION. I'M NOT LETTING GO." GET AROUND THE

JAMES, NOT AROUND THE, "WELL, YOU KNOW, SHE SAID DEAD. I FEEL

LIKE YOU ALL WASTE YOUR TIME." I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN SOMEBODY

CAME IN HERE AND PRAYED WITH SOMEBODY THAT WAS DEAD. AND I'M

TELLING YOU, I SAID TO THEM BEFORE THEY GOT IN HERE, "IT

AIN'T GONNA WORK." AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DIDN'T. OH, SHUT UP.

BUT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE LIKE THAT. WHERE ARE

THE PETERS IN YOUR LIFE? WHERE ARE THE ROCKS? WHERE ARE THE

PEOPLE THAT WILL NOT LET GOD GO UNTIL HE BLESSES AND ANSWERS?

HOW ABOUT THE JOHNS? WHAT ABOUT THE JOHNS? NO, I'M NOT TALKING

ABOUT THE TOILET. SOME OF YOU NEED A BATHROOM BREAK, I KNOW.

JOHN, THAT WAS A JOKE. I WAS TRYING TO GET YOU TO RESPOND

'CAUSE THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THEY HAVE THE RAIN ON

'EM. THEY'RE JUST KINDA, THEY'RE YAWNING HERE. YOU SHOULD SEE IT,

THOSE OF YOU WATCHING FROM HOME. NO, I'M TEASING. JOHN ARE THE

PEOPLE THAT ARE PRESSED TO JESUS ON A DEEPER LEVEL. WHY DOES IT

SAY THAT PETER NEVER LEANED HIS HEAD UP AGAINST THE BREAST OF

JESUS? WHY DOES IT SAY THAT JAMES NEVER DID? DID THEY TRY? I

DON'T KNOW, THE BIBLE NEVER RECORDS. JOHN WAS THE ONE THAT

WANTED TO GO DEEPER. BY THE WAY, YOU ARE GONNA LOVE MY NEW BOOK

COMING OUT, BECOMING A FRIEND OF GOD. IT IS ALMOST READY TO BE

HANDED OFF TO THE EDITOR. IT IS. IT'S GONNA MAKE YOU CRY. CRY IN

THE SENSE THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE TOUCHED BY GOD. YOU'RE GONNA

FEEL INTIMACY WITH THE LORD. BUT ANYWAY, YOU'RE ALSO GONNA LAUGH.

BUT JOHN WAS THE ONE. GET AROUND PEOPLE THAT PRESS FOR GOD, THAT

WANNA KNOW GOD, OR HOW ABOUT THIS, KNOW GOD ON A DEEPER

LEVEL. TOO MANY PEOPLE TAKE ADVICE FROM DIPSTICKS. PEOPLE,

THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. THEY DON'T EVEN WALK CLOSE TO GOD,

BUT YET THEY KNOW. I MEAN, I TELL YOU, THEY KNOW.

YEAH, BUT THEIR WISDOM COMPARED TO GOD'S OR THOSE THAT WALK WITH

GOD AND KNOW THE SCRIPTURES. LET'S CONTINUE. I'M ONLY ON THIS

VERSE, AND I HAVE A LOT TO SHARE IN A SHORT TIME TO GET THERE.

AND HE COMES TO THE HOUSE OF THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE AND SEES

THE TUMULT. AND THEN THAT WEEP AND WAIL GREATLY. AND WHEN HE

CAME IN, HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHY DO YOU MAKE THIS ADO? UNDERLINE

THAT. I'M GONNA SHARE WITH YOU THE OTHER VERSIONS. YOU DON'T

HAVE TO PUT THEM UP REAL QUICK. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

CEV SAYS, WHY ARE YOU CRYING AND CARRYING ON LIKE THIS? THE ERV

VERSION SAYS, WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE CRYING AND MAKING SO MUCH NOISE?

HEY, I NEVER CAUGHT THAT. WHY ARE YOU MAKING SO MUCH NOISE?

AND WE JUST GOT WARNED ABOUT WHAT'S COMING. NOW I KNOW WHY

GOD HAS ME PREACH THIS MESSAGE. THE ISV, WHY ALL THIS CONFUSION

AND CRYING? LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN

I'VE GONE INTO ROOMS OR I'VE GONE INTO PEOPLE'S SITUATION AND

THEY COME IN FOR A MEETING WITH ME, IS WHEN THEY START MAKING A

BUNCH OF ADO AND NOISE AND THEY GET OVER IN THEIR EMOTIONS, YOU

COULD JUST FEEL THE CONFUSION COME IN. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? LET'S KEEP READING, 'CAUSE I GOTTA

SHARE WITH YOU. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. JESUS SAID, "WHY ARE

YOU MAKING THIS A DOING WEEP? "THIS DAMSEL IS NOT DEAD, BUT

SLEEPS." AND THEY LAUGHED HIM TO SCORN, BUT WHEN THEY PUT HIM ALL

OUT, NOTICE WHAT JESUS DID, HE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING. I'M

TELLING YOU, SOME OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ME AND IN THIS

ROOM, YOU NEED TO START MAKING DECISIONS ON WHO YOU'RE GONNA

PUT OUT OF YOUR LIFE. YOU'RE LETTING SOME PEOPLE GET TOO

CLOSE TO YOU. THEY'RE SPEAKING INTO YOUR EARS. THEY'RE

FORMULATING YOUR OPINIONS, RIGHT? THEY'RE TWISTING THINGS

AND YET YOU BELIEVE IT. THAT'S WHY SOME PEOPLE WON'T VOTE

'CAUSE THEY BELIEVE THE LIE. IT DOESN'T WORK OR IT'S JUST ALL

GETTING STOLEN. RIGHT? SO LET'S KEEP READING. SO HE TOOK THE

FATHER AND THE MOTHER AS HE PUSHED ALL THE ADO OUT. SO YOU

NEED TO PUSH THE ADO OUT. NOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT'S

ADOIN', YOU NEED TO ADO IT AND PUSH IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD. QUIT

ENTERTAINING. YOU MAY NOT HAVE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU MAY

HAVE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS THAT ARE SPEAKING TO YOU. YOU NEED TO

PUSH IT OUT. THE BIBLE SAYS TAKE AUTHORITY OVER IT. CAST DOWN

EVERY THOUGHT AND IMAGINATION THAT SEEKS TO EXALT ITSELF

AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. BUT JESUS, WHAT DOES HE DO?

THROWS THEM ALL OUT, BRINGS THE DEAD IN, AND HE TAKES THE DAMSEL

BY THE HAND AND SAYS TO HER, "TALUTHA KUMAI," WHICH IS BEING

INTERPRETED, "LITTLE DAMSEL, I SAY TO YOU, ARISE." AND

IMMEDIATELY, LOOK AT IMMEDIATE RESULTS. NOW, I WANNA SHOW YOU

SOMETHING BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. I WANT YOU TO GO OVER

TO EXODUS CHAPTER TWO AND AS I START MOVING MY MESSAGE TOWARDS

WHERE I WANT, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE CAN

BE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE ARE EXPERIENCING HARDSHIP. WE ARE

EXPERIENCING A FORM OF, MAN, IT IS A HARD SEASON, RIGHT? YOU

FEEL LIKE NOTHING EVER IS CHANGING. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE

CONSTANTLY GETTING BEAT UP, YOU'RE CONSTANTLY TAKING THE

PUNCHES, AND YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GETTING ANYWHERE. FOR 400

AND SOME YEARS, THAT WAS ISRAEL'S STORY. AND IN EXODUS

CHAPTER TWO, VERSE 23, IT SAID, "IT CAME TO PASS IN THE PROCESS

OF TIME "THAT THE KING OF EGYPT DIED, "AND THE CHILDREN OF

ISRAEL SIGHED "BY THE REASON OF THEIR BONDAGE." GUESS WHAT THEY

DID? GUESS WHAT THEY DID? THEY WERE MAKING AN ADIEU. OH, OUR

BONDAGE. OH, WE HATE MAKING BRICKS. OH, WHERE IS THE GOD OF

ABRAHAM? OH, WE WERE PROMISED A PROMISED LAND AND LOOK AT WHAT

WE'RE DOING. WE GOT THESE STUPID BRICKS WITH STRAW. OH, ANOTHER

YEAR GOES BY, THEY RAISE THEIR KIDS. DON'T WORRY, IT DOESN'T

GET ANY BETTER THAN THE LASHES ON YOUR BACK. THEY WERE MAKING

AN ADO. THEY WERE CRYING BY THE REASON OF THEIR BONDAGE. IN

OTHER WORDS, THEY WERE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING OF MARK 5. THEY

DIDN'T THINK THAT THEY WOULD ARISE. THEY THOUGHT THE

ABRAHAMIC PROMISE WAS DEAD. AND THEY CRIED, AND THEIR CRY CAME

UP UNTO GOD BY THE REASON OF THEIR BONDAGE. NOW, FOR 430

YEARS THEY WERE CRYING, BUT NOTHING WAS CHANGING. WHY? LOOK

AT VERSE 24. "AND GOD HEARD THEIR GROANINGS." SO IT'S NOT

THEIR GROANINGS. IT'S NOT YOU MAKING AN ADO BECAUSE WE ALREADY

SHOWED YOU. JESUS SAID, "IF YOU'VE SEEN ME, YOU'VE SEEN MY

DAD." SO IT'S NOT THAT THEY CRIED AND, "OH, THEY JUST

CRIED." THERE WAS JUST ONE LITTLE CRY THAT JUST GOT GOD'S

ATTENTION. SOMETHING TRIGGERED GOD. AND THERE'S A PRINCIPLE IN

HERE THAT CAUSES GOD TO RISE UP ON YOUR BEHALF. ARE YOU READY?

IT'S RIGHT THERE IN VERSE 24. GOD HEARD THEIR GROANING AND GOD

REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT. STOP, WHO REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT?

WAIT A MINUTE, I'M IN A MARRIAGE COVENANT. YOU KNOW WHY MARRIAGES

DON'T LAST? BECAUSE SOMEBODY FORGETS. OR THE MARRIAGE BECOMES

ONE-SIDED. RIGHT, MARRIAGE IS, A COVENANT OF MARRIAGE IS HOW MANY

PEOPLE? TWO, TWO PEOPLE, NOT HUSBAND, WIFE, AND

MOTHER-IN-LAW. I AM PREACHING REALLY, REALLY GOOD AND I NEED

THE ORGAN GUY TO COME UP HERE. BRENDA AND I, WE'RE IN

AGREEMENT, HUSBAND AND WIFE, WITH GOD, WE'RE IN COVENANT.

WAIT A MINUTE, IF THEY'RE IN COVENANT WITH GOD, WHY IS GOD

DOING HIS PART, WHICH SHOWS ME THEY WEREN'T DOING THEIR PART.

400 YEARS, THEY IGNORED THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT, AND IT

EXTENDED THEIR BONDAGE. WHY SOMETIMES ARE WE CRYING OUT TO

GOD, AND WE'RE NOT SEEING AN ANSWER? GOD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DONE

WITH THE COVENANT WHEN YOU SAID JESUS COME INTO MY HEART. HE'S

THE ONE THAT ALLOWED HIS SON TO BE BRUISED AND BLOODY AND

WHIPPED AND HUNG ON A CROSS AND GO DOWN FOR THREE NIGHTS IN THE

BELLY OF HELL. YOU DON'T THINK GOD KNOWS HIS SIDE OF THE

COVENANT? IT PLEASED THE FATHER FOR HIM TO SEND YESHUA,

ACCORDING TO ISAIAH 53, AS THE LAMB WHO WAS LED TO THE

SLAUGHTER. COURSE HE KNOWS. HE HEARD EVERY WORD THAT YESHUA

SAID FROM THE CROSS, FELT EVERY OUNCE OF PAIN, YET GOD WAS

ESTABLISHING A COVENANT WITH MANKIND, AND THOSE WHO CALL ON

THE NAME OF THE LORD TO BE SAVED ENTER INTO THAT COVENANT. THE

PROBLEM IS NOT ON GOD'S SIDE, IT'S ON US, DO WE REMEMBER? PUT

THE VERSE BACK UP. GOD REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT WITH

ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. NOTICE THAT COVENANT WAS

EXTENDED, IT WAS EXTENDED TO THEM. GOD HAD TO REMEMBER, HE

HAD TO DO AN ACT OF SOVEREIGNTY. HE HAD TO STEP IN BECAUSE THEY

WOULDN'T. THEY WERE MAKING TOO MUCH ADO. JUST LIKE JESUS HAD TO

STEP INTO THAT HOUSE. I'M GONNA PROVE IT TO YOU, LOOK AT PSALM

106. TWO THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE START MAKING A DUES. NUMBER ONE,

WE FORGET WHAT GOD DID IN HIS WORD. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME A GOD

THAT PARTS THE RED SEA, SILENCE THE MOUTHS OF LIONS, QUENCHES A

FIRE SEVEN TIMES HOTTER, CANNOT STEP IN OR WILL NOT STEP IN ON

OUR BEHALF? YOUR BEHALF, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, OUR

NATIONS. PSALM 106, VERSE 13, HERE'S THE FIRST PROBLEM. THEY

Psalms 106:13

FORGOT. THEY SOON FORGOT HIS WORKS. THEY DIDN'T EVEN WAIT FOR

HIS COUNSEL. IN OTHER WORDS, THE FACT THAT THEY FORGOT, GUESS

WHAT HAPPENS? WHEN YOU FORGET GOD AND WHAT HIS WORD SAYS, YOU

WILL BEGIN TO BECOME YOUR OWN LORD. YOU'LL MAKE YOUR OWN

DECISIONS AND YOU WILL CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY AND OUTCOME.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK GOD'S DOING IT, SO YOU'LL STEP IN AND

MAKE IT HAPPEN. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT WON'T WAIT FOR THE RIGHT

MARRIAGE PARTNER. SO GUESS WHAT THEY DO? THEY FORGET THAT GOD IS

A GOD OF GOODNESS, AND IF YOU WAIT AND PRAY AND FIND ONE THAT

LINES UP, NOT THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE MOABITES, THE

CANAANITES, THE PHILISTINES, BUT YOU WAIT FOR THE DAUGHTER OF

ZION OR THE SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, RIGHT? NO, PEOPLE

GET IN A HURRY, THEY FORGET THIS, THEY FORGET, AND THEY MAKE

IT HAPPEN THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WAIT FOR HIS

COUNSEL. DON'T DATE THAT PERSON. DON'T GET THAT JOB. NOW YOU'RE

MAD AT GOD BECAUSE THE JOB DIDN'T WORK OUT. DON'T BUY THAT

CAR. YOU WENT AHEAD AND HAD TO DO IT 'CAUSE YOU NEEDED

SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE OTHER PERSON. DON'T SAY THAT, YOU SAID

IT. 'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T WAIT FOR THE COUNCIL. UP TO 15 TIMES IN

SCRIPTURE, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT I COULD FIND. PSALM 106, IT

SAYS THEY FORGOT. SO AT LEAST 15 TIMES IT SAYS THAT ISRAEL

FORGOT. THAT HAPPENED TO BRENDA AND I. WE MADE A LIST, PETITION

GOD, LIKE HE SAID, PETITION. MAKE YOUR PETITIONS AND YOUR

REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD. AND WE DID, WE WROTE IT DOWN.

THIS IS PROBABLY 30 YEARS AGO, YEAH, BECAUSE WE HADN'T YET

STARTED THIS CHURCH. WE WERE COMING HERE TO START THIS

CHURCH. AND WE HAD PETITIONED GOD ON WHAT WE NEEDED FOR OUR

INCOME, WHAT WE NEEDED FOR A HOUSE. WE WROTE IT DOWN, WE

PRAYED, WE WORSHIPED, AND THEN WE PACKED ALL THAT STUFF UP IN

BOXES AND FORGOT ABOUT IT. AND YEARS LATER, BRENDA AND I GOT

INTO AN ARGUMENT BECAUSE SHE HAD THIS GRAND IDEA TO CLEAN OUT

UNDERNEATH YOUR STAIRS. AND THAT'S WHERE I STORED ALL MY

JUNK. AND SHE SAID, "YEAH, WE JUST REALLY NEED "TO CLEAN

UNDERNEATH IT. "WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE." I SAID,

"I KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE." SHE GOES, "NO, YOU DON'T." I SAID,

"I KNOW IT'S JUNK, BUT I KNOW IT'S IN THERE." AND SO WE START

PULLING OUT ALL OF MY STUFF AND I'M WAITING FOR SOMETHING OF

HERS. AND TRASH BAG AFTER TRASH BAG AFTER TRASH BAG IS FILLING

UP. AND I SAID, "BRENDA, I DON'T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE. "I'M ON

VACATION." SHE GOES, "NO, HANK, WE'RE ALMOST DONE." AND I RAISED

MY VOICE. I SAID, "I DON'T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE. "THIS IS

STEALING MY VACATION." AND I'M TELLING YOU, WE HAD AN ADO. WE

FORGOT THAT WE AGREED TO SAY I DO. AND PART OF THAT I DO MEANS

YOU TREAT ONE ANOTHER RIGHT. AND LET ME JUST SAY THIS, BRENDA,

YOU WERE INNOCENT. I WASN'T, I WAS MAD 'CAUSE THEY'RE ALL MY

STUFF. AND LIKE 40 TRASH BAGS LATER, MAN, IT WAS BAD. OH,

STOP. AND BRENDA WILL THROW ANYTHING AWAY. I MEAN, SHE'S A

THROW AWAYER. I'M MR. SENTIMENTAL. IN FACT, ONE OF THE

THINGS WE PULLED OUT THAT I WOUND UP THROWING AWAY, BRENDA,

WAS THERE WAS A POPCORN BOWL FROM THE MOVIE THEATER WITH A

NAPKIN IN IT. AND SHE SAYS, "DO TELL." NO, AND I'M NOT THROWING

IT AWAY. WHY ARE YOU SAVING A POPCORN BOWL EMPTIED WITH A

NAPKIN? I'M NOT TELLING YOU, BRENDA. SHE SAID, "DO TELL." I

SAID, "BRENDA," SHE TAKES IT. SHE GOES, "WE'RE THROWING IT

AWAY." I SAID, "THAT NAPKIN IN THAT POPCORN BOWL "IS SOAKED

WITH THE TEARS FROM MY SAVIOR AND LORD "WHEN I WAS WATCHING

THE PASSING OF THE CHRIST." THERE

WAS MY POPCORN BOWL WHEN I WAS WATCHING. I DIDN'T EVEN EAT MY

POPCORN. I WOUND UP EATING IT LATER, AND I SAVED IT AS A

MEMORABLE THAT I DIDN'T EVEN EAT MY POPCORN, AND I CRIED THROUGH

THE WHOLE THING, AND THOSE WERE THE NAPKINS. I KNOW, SOME OF YOU

THINK I SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT. NOBODY THINKS I SHOULD HAVE KEPT

IT. DO I HAVE A FRIEND IN HERE? HOW MANY THINK THAT WE SHOULD

HAVE KEPT IT? THANK YOU, YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS. YOU GUYS WANNA GO

TO LUNCH? LET'S GO TO LUNCH, I MEAN, I GOT SOME FRIENDS IN

HERE. HOW MANY ONLINE THINK I SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT? PUT YOUR

THUMB UP IF YOU DO, I'M GONNA BE LOOKING FOR YOUR THUMB. DON'T

PUT ANY OTHER FINGER BESIDES THE THUMB. BUT WE THREW IT AWAY, BUT

HERE'S THE BEAUTIFUL THING I AM RESOLUTE BECAUSE GOD COLLECTS

ALL OF YOUR TEARS IN A BOTTLE AND HE KNOWS HOW MUCH I SOAK

THOSE NAPKINS AND THEY ARE RECORDED AND I WOULDN'T I

WOULDN'T DOUBT IT IF I GET UP INTO HEAVEN I GO UP TO THE

MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB AND JESUS GOES, "ATTENTION, THE

MOVING WALKWAY IS ENDING." NO, HE GOES, "ATTENTION, THE NAPKINS

TONIGHT ARE PROVIDED "BY THE FATHER, BUT THERE IS ONE SPECIAL

NAPKIN "THAT IS BY THE SEED OF HANK KUNNEMAN. "IT IS THOSE

SOAKED NAPKINS FROM THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST." AND WE BROUGHT

THEM BACK. YEAH, THERE YOU GO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NUMBERS 14,

Numbers 14:22

VERSE 22. HERE, WHAT? OH, THAT'S A GOOD WIFE. SEE, Y'ALL AREN'T

LISTENING, SO I DIDN'T EVEN FINISH IT. SO HERE'S WHAT WE DID

FIND AFTER THAT. WE FOUND THE PETITIONER'S REQUEST WITH ALL OF

THE THINGS THAT WE HAD PRAYED, THAT WE SHOVED IN THAT BOX, I

DID, UNDERNEATH THE STAIRS, WE WERE ABOUT TO THROW IT AWAY. WE

FORGOT, AND EVERY, THANK YOU, BRENDA, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF

THOSE THINGS HAD BEEN ANSWERED. AND OUR ARGUMENT CAME TO AN END

AS WE BOTH REPENTED AND WE THANKED GOD, WE'RE LIKE, LORD,

FORGIVE US, YOU KNOW, HEATHEN FOOLS. LOOK AT NUMBERS CHAPTER

Numbers 14:42

14, VERSE 42. HERE'S THE SECOND THING THAT HAPPENS, ARE YOU

READY? THE SECOND THING THAT HAPPENS IS, NUMBER ONE, YOU GET

INTO FORGETFULNESS. YOU STOP FORGETTING WHAT GOD DONE. IF

YOU'RE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING RIGHT NOW, REHEARSE WHAT GOD DID

IN THE BIBLE, BUT START LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT HE DID IN YOUR

LIFE. IT'LL BUILD FAITH. IF HE DID IT FOR YOU BEFORE, WHY

WOULDN'T HE DO IT NOW? HE DOESN'T CHANGE. HE'S THE SAME

YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER. HERE'S WHAT GOD SAID, AND WE'RE

GONNA PREACH ON THIS. GO NOT UP, FOR THE LORD IS NOT AMONG YOU,

THAT YOU BE NOT SPENT FOR YOU. THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT ONES. I

THINK IT MIGHT BE VERSE 10 OR 12, WHERE IT SAYS THAT THEY

FORGOT OR THEY COMPLAINED AGAINST THE LORD 10 TIMES. SO

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE LOOKING AT YOUR BIBLE, IT IS IN NUMBERS 14.

I MUST HAVE WROTE DOWN 22 AND I MIGHT HAVE BEEN 12. BUT THE

POINT IS, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE WITH US TODAY, VERSE

11, "AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES," GREAT JOB, "THE LORD

SAID TO MOSES, "'HOW LONG WILL THESE PEOPLE PROVOKE ME? "'AND

HOW LONG WILL IT BE THAT THEY BELIEVE ME? FOR ALL THE SIGNS

WHICH I'VE SHOWED AMONG THEM.'" AND I THINK IT'S VERSE 12. "THEY

HAVE COMPLAINED AGAINST ME THESE 12 TIMES." IT'S WRITTEN IN THE

SCRIPTURE. GOD LITERALLY KEEPS SCORE, 10 TIMES. SO FORGETTING

AND COMPLAINING, AND WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT IT. AND I ACTUALLY

WENT AND FOUND WHAT I BELIEVE ARE THE 10 THINGS THAT THEY

COMPLAINED ABOUT. AND I HAVE A SERMON. AND I WAS SO CONVICTED,

I SAID, "BRENDA, I DON'T EVEN WANNA PREACH TO THEM ABOUT THE

10 COMPLAINTS THAT GOD NOTED 'CAUSE I HAVE DONE EVERY SINGLE

ONE OF THEM PRACTICALLY IN MY LIFE." WOW, OKAY, QUIT LOOKING

AT ME LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, LET'S... NOW LOOK

AT ISAIAH 43 AS I SHIFT THIS THING TO A PLACE OF CLOSING. GOD

SAYS, "PUT ME IN REMEMBRANCE, SAITH THE LORD." OKAY? PUT ME IN

REMEMBRANCE. LET US PLEAD TOGETHER. DECLARE THOU THAT THOU

MAY BE JUSTIFIED. SO WHAT IS GOD TELLING YOU TO DO? PUT THOU THE

LORD IN REMEMBRANCE. WHEN YOU TAKE HOLY COMMUNION, WHAT DID

JESUS TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE TO DO? PUT HIM IN REMEMBRANCE OF

WHAT? THAT IT'S A BREAD AND IT'S A DRINK? NO. IT'S YOUR COVENANT.

HIS BODY AND BLOOD, IT'S YOUR COVENANT. PUT HIM IN REMEMBRANCE

OF YOUR COVENANT. WHAT DID GOD DO? GO BACK TO EXODUS 2, VERSE

Exodus 2:24

24. THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, ALL THEY COULD DO WAS CRY AND LOOK

AT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THEM, THEIR SYMPTOMS, THE

MANIFESTATION, THEIR SUFFERING, THEIR BONDAGE, THE TRIAL, THE

STORM, THE HARDSHIP. THEY FORGOT TO PUT HIM IN REMEMBRANCE. WHAT

DID GOD SAY? YOU FORGOT? AT LEAST 15 TIMES, PSALM 106.

NUMBERS 14:10 TIMES YOU COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU FORGOT TO

Numbers 14:10

PUT ME IN REMEMBRANCE. SO YOU LET YOUR MOUTH RUN. THAT'S WHY I

SAID TO THE PEOPLE LAST WEEK, WE ALWAYS THINK THAT THE WALLS OF

JERICHO WAS THE REAL BATTLE. YEAH, THAT WAS THE BATTLE, BUT

REALLY THE BATTLE, THE WALLS OF JERICHO WAS THE MANIFESTATION OF

VICTORY. OF THE BATTLE, HERE'S WHAT IT WAS. COULD THEY KEEP

THEIR MOUTH SHUT? AND COULD THEY KEEP THEIR ATTITUDE RIGHT? YOU

CAN'T TELL ME IF YOU GOT A WHOLE NATION OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL

DIFFERENT AGES THAT THEY WEREN'T COMPLAINING. YOU CAN'T TELL ME

THAT THEY WANTED TO OPEN THEIR MOUTHS AND TALK ABOUT HOW HARD

IT WAS AND WE HAVE TO GO AROUND AGAIN. AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME

THAT THEY ALL HAD TO BEHAVE THEMSELVES BUT THEY DID BECAUSE

YOUR ATTITUDE WILL BE ADJUSTED IF YOU CLOSE YOUR TRAP.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) TOO MANY PEOPLE, THE REASON THEY

HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE, THEY SHIFT TOWARDS BITTERNESS IS BECAUSE

THEY TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK ABOUT THEIR ADO.

AND GOD SAYS, "PUT ME IN REMEMBRANCE," AND THEY WEREN'T.

SO FINALLY GOD SAID, "LOOK, I GOTTA BRING THE MESSIAH HERE. "I

GOTTA ESTABLISH A COVENANT." THESE PEOPLE FORGOT, HE STEPS

IN. NOW WATCH THIS. I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THIS, GALATIANS 3.

THEY FORGOT THEIR ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. GOD SAID, "I'VE

ESTABLISHED A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM." IT WENT DOWN TO HIS

SON AND TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN. NOW LOOK HERE, MOST PEOPLE DON'T

EVEN KNOW THIS. JESUS HAS REDEEMED US. HE PAID WITH HIS

OWN BLOOD FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW. JESUS WAS MADE A CURSE. HE

WAS THE PROPITIATION. HE WAS THE SUBSTITUTE. HE WAS THE SACRIFICE

FOR US, FOR IT IS WRITTEN, "CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT HANGS

ON A TREE." STOP, DID JESUS HANG ON A TREE? WHY? LOOK AT VERSE

14, YOU COULD INSERT THE WORD THEN, OR SO, JESUS BECAME THE

CURSE. HE HUNG ON A TREE, SO THAT THE BLESSINGS OF WHO? WAIT

A MINUTE, HE'S LONG GONE, HE'S DEAD. THAT'S THE OLD COVENANT.

GOD'S A COVENANT KEEPING GOD. THAT ISN'T JUST THE OLD

COVENANT, IT WAS BROUGHT THROUGH THE BLOOD INTO THE NEW COVENANT.

AND IT'S PART OF US, MOST PEOPLE, I'M TELLING YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING ME AND SITTING IN THIS ROOM TODAY, WE HAVE NO CLUE WHAT

THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT PROMISES ARE. AND WE DON'T PRAY THEM.

BRENDA AND I, EVERY DAY WE PRAY TOGETHER. AND HOW MANY TIMES,

SWEETHEART, DO YOU HEAR ME CRY OUT TO GOD ON BEHALF OF OUR

COVENANT? NOT ONLY WHAT JESUS PROVIDED, BUT I REMIND JESUS

THAT HE BROUGHT THE RIGHTS, THE PRIVILEGES, THE BENEFITS, AND

THE MANIFESTATIONS OF MY ABRAHAMIC COVENANT THROUGH HIS

BLOOD. I HAVE A RIGHT TO THAT COVENANT TOO. AND ALL THAT WAS

ESTABLISHED BETWEEN GOD AND ABRAHAM IS MINE BECAUSE OF

JESUS. HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS. SO THAT THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM

MIGHT COME ON THE GENTILES. THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THAT WE

MIGHT RECEIVE. SO GOD WANTS YOU TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE. ALL

RIGHT, NOW WHAT IS THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM? NOW HERE'S WHAT I

WANT THEM TO DO BACK IN THE CONTROL BOOTH. PUT UP GENESIS

12, VERSES ONE THROUGH TWO, AMPLIFIED CLASSIC. NOW WATCH

WHAT YOUR BLESSINGS ARE THAT YOU NEED TO CLAIM. ARE YOU READY?

INSTEAD OF MAKING AN ADIEU, A COVENANT FOR IT TO REALLY BE A

COVENANT IS FOR THERE TO BE TWO. GOD THOUGH SAID, "I COULDN'T

FIND ANYONE GREATER, "SO I SWORE BY MYSELF." THEN HE GOES DOWN

AND HE ESTABLISHES THE COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM. HE PUTS ABRAHAM

ASLEEP, AND YOU REMEMBER WHAT HE DOES? HE LITERALLY TELLS ABRAHAM

TO CUT A BULL IN HALF AND PUT ONE SIDE ON THE RIGHT, ONE SIDE

ON THE LEFT, AND LET THE BLOOD FLOW IN THE MIDDLE. AND GOD

WOULD WALK. AND THERE WAS A BURNING LIGHT AND A SMOKING

FURNACE. ISRAEL FORGOT. AND GOD HAS TO SEND THEM A REMINDER.

ISRAEL IS PURSUING THEM, BEATING ON THEM, AND WILL TAKE OVER

AGAIN. COME ON, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE FACING SOMETHING THAT YOU

FEEL LIKE THE ENEMY IS ALWAYS PURSUING YOU, BEATING UP ON YOU?

AND GOD OPENS, WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SEA? RED SEA. BLOOD. AND

WHAT SHOWS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RED SEA? A PILLAR OF CLOUD,

THAT'S THE SMOKING FURNACE WHEN GOD CUT COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM,

AND A PILLAR OF FIRE, THAT WAS THE BRIGHT LIGHT THAT APPEARED

IN THE WALK OF BLOOD WITH ABRAHAM. GOD WAS SHOWING HIM, I

AM A COVENANT-KEEPING GOD. YOU ARE AFRAID OF THE ENEMY, MOSES.

I TOLD YOU THERE'S A PROMISED LAND. I TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE

HEALED. I TOLD YOU I WILL BLESS YOU. I TOLD YOU YOUR PRODIGAL

WILL COME HOME. I TOLD YOU YOU COULD BE MARRIED. I TOLD YOU I

WILL BLESS YOU. AND YET ALL THEY COULD SEE WAS THE ENEMY AND WHAT

THE ENEMY'S DOING. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO WITH AMERICA. ALL THAT

THE FAKE NEWS WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE. AND YET GOD OPENS THE

RED SEA BECAUSE HE'S TRYING TO BRING THEM BACK TO, "HELLO, DO

YOU READ YOUR BIBLE? DO YOU READ THE TORAH? DO YOU READ THE

WRITINGS? DO YOU REMEMBER? NO, YOU FORGOT. AND HERE'S A VISUAL.

I MEAN, HOW MUCH MORE POWERFUL OF A VISUAL? THE WALL ON THE

RIGHT SIDE, THE WALL ON THE LEFT, AND A RED SEED. DOESN'T

THAT SOUND LIKE THE CUTTING OF COVENANT WITH YOUR FATHER

ABRAHAM? YES, IT DOES. AND IT WAS MEANT TO SHOW THEM HOW MUCH

THEY HAD FORGOTTEN AND THE POWER OF COVENANT IF YOU WILL BELIEVE.

LOOK AT THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM. NOW IN

HARAN, THE LORD SAID TO ABRAM, GO FOR YOURSELF, FOR YOUR OWN

ADVANTAGE, AWAY FROM YOUR COUNTRY. ALL RIGHT, SOMETIMES

YOU GOTTA HONESTLY LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND GET AWAY FROM YOUR

RELATIVES, YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE TO THE LAND, I'LL SHOW YOU. THE

PROBLEM IS, IT'S NOT, THE PROBLEM IS, YOU HAVE THE WRONG

PEOPLE AROUND YOU. WE THINK IT'S LOCATION. SOMETIMES IT'S NOT

LOCATION, SOMETIMES IT'S WHERE YOU'RE LETTING PEOPLE LOCATE

YOU. THEY'RE TELLING YOU BAD ADVICE, THEY'RE INFLUENCING YOU

WRONG, THEY'RE HOLDING YOU IN BONDAGE. LOOK AT VERSE TWO, NOW

THESE ARE YOUR BLESSINGS AS WE GET READY TO CLOSE. PASTOR DOUG,

YOU CAN BEGIN TO COME. I WANT YOU TO SEE IN THIS VERSE RIGHT

HERE WHAT YOUR BLESSINGS ARE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, GALATIANS

CHAPTER THREE. THIS VERSE RIGHT HERE SHOWS YOU. NOW, BEFORE I

SHOW YOU THIS, I FEEL LIKE WE GOTTA GO BACK TO PSALM 103,

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT JESUS PROVIDED. AND DAVID WAS SEEING

THE FULFILLMENT OF WHAT THE MESSIAH WOULD BRING. PSALM 103.

SO MAYBE YOU'RE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU NEED SPECIFIC THINGS. LOOK

AT WHAT JESUS PROVIDED. BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, ALL THAT'S

WITHIN ME, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME. NOTICE THIS WORD NOW, VERSE TWO.

FORGET NOT HIS BENEFITS. WHAT DID ISRAEL DO? 15 TIMES, GOD HAD

TO REMEMBER HIS COVENANT. DAVID IS TELLING US, "DON'T FORGET

YOUR COVENANT. "QUIT SQUALLING, QUIT BAWLING." YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, WITH THIS ECONOMY, I'VE HAD TO PUT MY

FAITH OUT HERE MORE SO BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

INCONSISTENT WITH TITHING, GIVING ISN'T AROUND THE

MINISTRIES AROUND THE WORLD ISN'T WHERE IT SHOULD BE. AND

I'VE HAD TO GO TO THE GOD OF MY COVENANT AND SAY, "LORD, YOU

DIDN'T CALL ME TO DO THESE THINGS "AND NOT PROVIDE." FORGET

NOT HIS BENEFITS. I GO TO GOD ON BEHALF OF MY COVENANT. LOOK AT

VERSE THREE, HERE'S YOUR COVENANT. HE FORGIVES ALL YOUR

INIQUITIES. HE HEALS YOU OF ALL YOUR DISEASES, NOT JUST SOME,

ALL. VERSE FOUR, NOW YOU HAVE PROTECTION. HE REDEEMS YOUR LIFE

FROM DESTRUCTION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, YOU

WON'T. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE DESTRUCTION OVER YOUR LIFE, YOUR

HOME WHEN IT HAILS AND WHEN TORNADOES COME, YOU'VE BEEN

REDEEMED. BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED FOR YOU TO LIVE A LIFE OF

PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION. HE CROWNS YOU WITH LOVING KINDNESS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? WE SANG IT, AROUND YOU. GOD

PROTECTS YOU. A CROWN, THAT WORD CROWN MEANS TO SURROUND YOU. GOD

LITERALLY SURROUNDS YOU AND SAYS YOU CAN'T TOUCH HIM. BUT YOU

GOTTA BELIEVE YOUR COVENANT. AND HE DOES IT WITH LOVING KINDNESS

AND TENOR MERCIES. VERSE FIVE, LOOK AT ANOTHER THING, HE

SATISFIES YOUR MOUTH WITH GOOD THINGS. HE GIVES YOU RENEWED

YOUTH. SO QUIT SAYING, WELL, I'M AGING, I'M GROWING OLD. RIGHT?

WHY DON'T YOU CLAIM RENEWED YOUTH? EVERY DAY I SPEAK OVER

BRENDA AND I, RENEWED YOUTH. WHY? BLOOD WAS SHED. EVERY DAY I

PROCLAIM THAT MY LIFE AND MY WIFE AND MY CHILDREN AND YOU,

YOU ARE REDEEMED FROM DESTRUCTION. THAT'S YOUR

COVENANT. NOW GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER. YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL

THINGS. YOU DON'T JUST HAVE SALVATION AND FORGIVENESS OF

SINS. AND ETERNAL LIFE, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. OH, WE

GET TO GO TO HEAVEN. AND YOU GET JACK SQUAT WHILE YOU'RE HERE?

NO, I JUST SHOWED YOU WHAT JESUS PROVIDED. BUT NOW LOOK AT WHAT

YOU HAVE HERE IN THE EARTH. ARE YOU READY? GENESIS 12, VERSE

TWO. YOU NEED TO CLAIM THESE EVERY DAY. I WILL MAKE OF YOU A

GREAT NATION. I WILL BLESS YOU WITH AN INCREASE OF FAVORS.

HELLO, BUSINESSMEN, BUSINESSWOMEN. YOU GOT BUSINESS

DEALS. YOU HAVE AN ABRAHAMIC COVENANT THAT GIVES YOU FAVOR.

THOSE OF YOU AT YOUR WORK. AND MAKE YOUR NAME WHAT? FAMOUS AND

DISTINGUISHED. AND YOU WILL BE A BLESSING. ALL RIGHT, KEEP THE

VERSE UP AS THEY PUT ME UP WITH IT LIKE THAT, 'CAUSE I WANNA

TALK TO YOU. THIS ONE VERSE ALONE GIVES YOU ONE, TWO, THREE,

FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT THINGS. EIGHT THINGS IN THAT

VERSE RIGHT THERE THAT WE NEED TO BE CLAIMING EVERY DAY BESIDES

WHAT JESUS PAID FOR ALSO WITH FORGIVENESS OF SIN, HEALING OF

DISEASE. NUMBER ONE, IT SAYS, I WILL MAKE YOU. HOW MANY WANNA BE

MADE BY GOD? QUIT TRYING TO DO IT YOURSELF. THE ABRAHAMIC

COVENANT IS THE GOD FACTOR. GOD STEPS IN AND HE BEGINS TO MAKE

YOU, HE MAKES THE WAY. RIGHT? NUMBER TWO, A GREAT NATION. THE

SECOND THING IS GREATNESS. YOU SHOULDN'T ALWAYS BE AT THE LOW

END OF EVERYTHING. YOUR FINANCES, YOUR LIFE SHOULD

BECOME GREAT. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE GONNA BE FAMOUS AND

PEOPLE ARE GONNA KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT RATHER THAN STRUGGLING,

IT NEEDS TO BE GREAT. WELL, I HAVE A SO-SO MARRIAGE. AH, WRONG

ANSWER. ACCORDING TO YOUR ABRAHAMIC COVENANT, YOU'RE NOT

SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SO-SO MARRIAGE. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO

HAVE A GREAT MARRIAGE. WELL, MY HEALING OR MY HEALTH IS SO-SO.

WRONG ANSWER. ACCORDING TO PSALM 103, HE'S ALREADY HEALED ME.

ACCORDING TO MY ABRAHAMIC COVENANT, GREATNESS IS ON ME, MY

HEALTH IS GREAT. MY DOCTOR'S REPORTS ARE GREAT. AND LET ME

TELL YOU SOMETHING, I'M 60. AND THEY GET MORE PERSONAL THE OLDER

YOU GET. BUT EVERY TIME I GO IN THERE, AH, IT'S GREAT. 'CAUSE I

HAVE AN ABRAHAMIC COVENANT AND IT'S MANIFESTED IN MY LIFE. MY

FINANCES ARE SO-SO. AH! WRONG ANSWER. RATHER THAN LET SOMEBODY

MAKE IT A DO, YOU NEED TO GO, "AH, WRONG ANSWER." MY JOB IS

SO-SO, MY BUSINESS IS SO-SO. "AH, I JUST LIKE DOING THAT. I

MIGHT DO IT UNTIL MY EIGHTH CLOSING." IS THAT YOUR ABRAHAMIC

COVENANT? OH, AMERICA'S FINISHED, CANADA, IT'S OVER.

"AH, WRONG ANSWER, CURTIS." AUSTRALIA. ISLAM'S TAKING OVER.

OH, WRONG ANSWER. ALL RIGHT. I WILL MAKE OF YOU A GREAT NATION.

STAND TO YOUR FEET. AND I WILL WHAT? OH, NOT ONLY DOES THE GOD

FACTOR COME, NUMBER ONE, NUMBER TWO, GREATNESS, BUT NOW NUMBER

THREE, INCONCEIVABLE, YOU HAVE A RIGHT FOR BLESSINGS. OKAY,

NOBODY WANTS THAT. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE BLESSED. OH, PASTOR

ANK, I'M IN SUCH A HORRIBLE SEASON. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN

A BLESSED SEASON. OH, SO MANY STORMS. SUPPOSED TO BE BLESSED.

THAT'S YOUR ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD YESHUA THE

OTHER DAY? I WAS GOING OVER MY COVENANT WITH HIM, AND I SAID,

"LISTEN TO ME, YESHUA. "YOU COME CLOSER, I'LL GIVE YOU THE

BIGGEST KISS "ON YOUR FACE, 'CAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, "PSALM 2,

Psalms 2:12

VERSE 12, KISS THE FACE OF THE SON. "I'M TRYING, SO GIVE ME

YOUR FACE, LORD. "NOW WATCH." I SAID, "YESHUA, YOUR BLOOD IS AND

WAS NO JOKE, "AND THE BLOODSHED AND THE MAGNITUDE OF YOUR

SACRIFICE "WAS NOT CHEAP, SO I WILL NOT CHEAPEN YOUR COVENANT."

PEOPLE THAT SIT THERE AND MAKE IT OUT LIKE GOD DOES NOT HEAL,

OR HEAL SOME AND LOOKS PAST YOU, I GUESS IT'S NOT YOUR DAY TO GET

HEALED, YOU'VE CHEAPENED THE BLOOD. IT'S ALREADY PROVIDED.

HE'LL BLESS YOU, OKAY, FOURTH ONE. LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE. "WITH

ABUNDANCE," OOH. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE A BOW OF POVERTY. WELL,

YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO BE DUMB. TELL YOU TO TAKE A BOW OF

POVERTY. IT'S AMAZING TO ME THEY TELL YOU TO TAKE A BOW OF

POVERTY, BUT THEY WANT YOUR MONEY. PRIEST, HOW AM I SUPPOSED

TO PAY YOU AND EVEN PAY TO GET THE GUY OUT OF PURGATORY AND GO

UP HIGHER AS YOU DO THE SMOKE THING IN FRONT OF ME IF I'M

SUPPOSED TO BE POVERTY? I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANYTHING

BECAUSE THAT DUDE DOESN'T KNOW HIS COVENANT. I DIDN'T MAKE THIS

UP. HIS BLOOD AND HIS SACRIFICE WASN'T CHEAP. YOU KNOW, I WAS

TALKING THIS IN A COMMUNION SERVICE THE OTHER DAY AND A LADY

WITH A BLUE BAG, THAT MEANS SHE'S A VISITOR, GOT UP, LOOKED

AT ME. SHE MADE SURE THAT I LOOKED AT HER 'CAUSE I WAS

LOOKING OUT HERE. SHE HUFFED AND PUFFED AND PROBABLY WANTED TO

BLOW THE HOUSE DOWN WITH HER ANGER. AND ALL I WAS TALKING

ABOUT IS THE GOD OF WHOLENESS. AND SHE WAS SPITTING RELIGIOUS

MAD. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THE BIBLE SAYS EVERY KNEE IS GONNA

BOW. THE ONLY DEMONS THAT HAVE NOT YET QUITE BOWED ARE THOSE

RELIGIOUS, PHARISAICAL DEMONS. YEAH, I'M TALKING ABOUT SOME OF

YOUR RELATIVES. MAYBE A FEW OF YOU IN HERE. YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT

I'M SAYING. WRONG ATTITUDE. GOD WILL MAKE YOU. HE'LL BRING

GREATNESS, HE'LL BRING BLESSINGS, AND NOW HE'LL BRING

ABUNDANCE. HE DIDN'T SAY, "OH, I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU A

FAVOR." HE SAID, "I'M GONNA DO ABUNDANCE." OH, WELL, PASTOR, I

DON'T THINK I LIKE THAT. OKAY. WHEN GOD COMES TO ABRAHAM, HE

INTRODUCES HIMSELF. AND HE GOES, AND YOU KNOW, GOD SPOKE IN

ITALIAN. HE SAID, "YO, HOW YOU DO? MY NAME IS EL SHADDAI."

ISN'T THAT RIGHT? THE BREASTY ONE. THE GOD OF BARELY ENOUGH.

NO. I MEAN, OF ALL THE THINGS HE COULD CHOOSE. HE LOOKS AT

ABRAHAM, AH, THANK YOU. HE GOES, I'M EL SHADDAI, I'M THE GOD OF

WHAT?

THE LORD OF HEAVEN.

JOHN 10, JESUS IS TRYING TO MAKE A DISTINCTION IN A DELILIATION,

WHATEVER THE WORD IS. HE'S TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND

HE GOES, "THE DEVIL, WATCH, STEALS, KILLS, AND DESTROYS.

"THAT'S ALL TO MAKE YOU LESS." AND JESUS GOES, "BUT I HAVE COME

TO GIVE YOU LIFE." THAT'S YOUR COVENANT, THAT'S YOUR COVENANT,

THAT'S YOUR COVENANT. AND LIFE WHAT? MORE. MORE. OH, THAT

SOUNDS LIKE GREATNESS, THAT SOUNDS LIKE ABUNDANCE. MORE IS

ABUNDANT. MORE IS MORE. OKAY. THERE YOU GO, I LIKE IT, ALL

RIGHT. AND I WILL BLESS YOU WITH AN ABUNDANT INCREASE. OH, OH,

NOT JUST ABUNDANCE, BUT NOW I'M GONNA HAVE INCREASE. HAVE YOU

INCREASED? LISTEN, THIS IS WHY I'VE BEEN IN THE FACE OF GOD.

GOD, EVERYBODY LOVES THIS TABERNACLE. EVERYBODY LOVES THIS

MINISTRY. EVERYBODY LOVES WHEN THE PROPHET PROPHESIES, BUT SOON

AS TRUMP GOT IN, WHY DID THEIR GIVING DIP? BUT I'M NOT

DEPENDENT UPON THAT. I AM LOOKING TO THE GOD OF MY

COVENANT AND SAYING, YOU'RE THE GOD OF INCREASE. WE GOT STUFF TO

DO. WE GOT LAND TO BUY. WE GOT STUFF TO DO, BUT I NEED GOD,

YOUR PROVISION. I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO SIT THERE AND WAIT SO

LONG FOR VIDEOS FOR CHILDREN. YOU'RE THE GOD OF INCREASE,

YOU'RE THE GOD OF MORE, AND I AM IN HIS FACE OVER IT. AND LET ME

TELL YOU SOMETHING, HE'S ANSWERING, AND I REFUSE TO

BELIEVE OTHERWISE. BLOOD WAS SHED. INCREASE OF FAVORS, OH,

FAVOR, YOU KNOW WHAT FAVOR IS? IT PASSES OVER OTHERS AND FINDS

YOU. FAVOR IS AN EXTENSION OF SOME KIND OF KIND ACT. HOW MANY

COULD LOVE GOD TO DO A KIND ACT? SO I TELL THE LORD, OKAY, LORD,

YOU'RE ABUNDANT IN KINDNESS. ALL RIGHT, I NEED SOME KIND STUFF

HERE. LIKE SOMEBODY THAT WOULD COME AND SAY, "HEY, PASTOR HANK,

I'M A MULTIMILLIONAIRE. I'D LIKE TO PAY OFF ALL OF YOUR PROPERTY.

I'D LIKE TO BUY THAT LAND, AND I WOULD EVEN LIKE TO GIVE YOU JUST

A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TO HAVE UNDERNEATH MY MATTRESS TO PAY

FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF VIDEOS. NO, I HAVE TO GET BEFORE GOD

AFTER 40 YEARS OF SERVING HIM BECAUSE IT ISN'T ON GOD,

SOMETIMES IT'S ON US TO OBEY WHAT GOD SAYS. I WILL MAKE YOU

GREATNESS, BLESSINGS, ABUNDANCE, INCREASED FAVOR, AND WATCH THIS,

YOUR NAME WILL BE FAMOUS. NOW IT'S NOT SO THAT YOU COULD BE ON

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WHO'S WHO OF THE LATEST MAGAZINES. YOU

KNOW WHAT YOUR NAME FAMOUS MEANS? IN YOUR SPHERE OF

INFLUENCE, YOU ARE A SUCCESS AND IT'S NOTED. YOU ARE A PERSON OF

INTEGRITY BECAUSE YOUR NAME WILL BE DISTINGUISHED. IF YOUR NAME

IS DISTINGUISHED, THERE IS SOMETHING OF HONOR THAT PRECEDES

YOU, THAT IS PART OF YOU. WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR COVENANT, GOD

BEGINS TO DO SOMETHING THAT BECOMES VERY DISTINGUISHED AND

HONORABLE IF YOU MAINTAIN YOUR HONOR TO HIM AND TO YOUR

COVENANT. WELL, MAYBE THAT EXPLAINS WHY MY BUSINESS, NOBODY

KNOWS ABOUT IT, 'CAUSE YOU AIN'T PRAYING THIS. AND THEN SOME

PEOPLE MIGHT BE PRAYING IT, BUT THEN YOU HAVE BAD, BAD, BAD

BUSINESS PRACTICES, LIKE YOU DON'T FILE CERTAIN THINGS ON

YOUR TAXES, OR YOU DON'T TITHE. AND YOU WILL BE A BLESSING. OH,

NOW YOU'RE GONNA EMPOWER OTHERS. GOD WILL EMPOWER YOU TO BLESS

OTHERS. AND NEXT WEEK, WE'RE GONNA BREAK EVERY ONE OF THESE

DOWN. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THIS LAST VERSE. LOOK AT PSALM 24,

VERSE ONE, OUT OF THE NIV. THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN PRAYING EVERY

DAY, AND I'VE BEEN PRAYING IT OVER YOU. ARE YOU READY? I SAID

TO GOD, GOD, I AIN'T TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER. I AM NOT GONNA

GET OUT OF YOUR FACE. I COME BOLDLY, I'VE ALREADY OBTAINED

GRACE, MERCY AND HELP, BUT I WANT MY RIGHTS THAT JESUS PAID

FOR. LOOK AT GENESIS 24, VERSE ONE. GENESIS 24, VERSE ONE. DID

I SAY PSALM? OH, I'M SO SORRY, THEY'RE LISTENING VERY WELL. I

THOUGHT I SAID GENESIS. I'M TRYING TO END THE SERVICE.

ABRAHAM WAS NOW VERY OLD. OOH, YOU NEED TO UNDERLINE THAT

BECAUSE THAT'S GENESIS 15:15. IT TELLS YOU HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO

Genesis 15:15

DIE. SUPPOSED TO DIE IN PEACE, GENESIS 15:15. THAT'S YOUR

Genesis 15:15

ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. AND YOU'RE TO DIE WHEN YOU'RE OLD. THAT'S

YOUR ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. IT'S UP TO YOU IF YOU, YOU KNOW, MARILYN

HICKEY, SHE TAUGHT ME THAT. PSALM 91:16, WITH LONG LIFE

Psalms 91:16

HE'LL SATISFY YOU. THAT WORD SATISFY MEANS AS MANY SUNSETS

AND SUNRISES AS YOU WANT ACCORDING TO THE LIFESPAN OF

MAN. AND I REMEMBER A PROPHET SIGNED TO HER IN HER 70S. AND I

SAID, MARILYN, I SEE YOU LIVING UP INTO 93, 94-ISH. THAT'S WHEN

SHE DIED, 94. SHE GOES, WELL, I'VE ALREADY SET MY SUNSET. SHE

GOES, I WANNA LIVE IN MY LATE 90S, OR EARLY 90S, I MEAN. WELL,

LOOK AT HER, SHE DID. HE WAS A VERY WHAT KIND OF MAN? VERY OLD.

AND THE LORD BLESSED HIM WHAT?

VERY OLD.

LOOK AT THE KING JAMES. THE LORD BLESSED HIM IN ALL THINGS. I

SAID, GOD, I AM SO BLESSED, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT

AREN'T BLESSED IN MY LIFE LIKE THEY NEED TO BE. WE STILL HAVE

DEBT ON THESE BUILDINGS. AND BY THE WAY, GOD'S PAYING THEM OFF,

WHICH I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR. BUT PART OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT,

HE SAID, I DON'T WANT TO OWE ANY MAN ANYTHING. I DON'T WANT TO

SAY THAT YOU MADE ME RICH. SO I SAID, LORD, AS LONG AS I'VE GOT

SOME MORTGAGES OUT THERE, LONG AS I'M STILL HAVING TO SCRAPE TO

PAY FOR ANIMATION WHEN I'M TRYING TO GIVE AN ALTERNATIVE TO

THE FILTH, I'M BLESSED IN EVERYTHING, AND I'M NOT BLESSED

IN THOSE AREAS YET. SO I'M GOING TO THE GOD OF MY COVENANT, AND

I'M REMINDING YOU. YOU MADE ABRAHAM RICH. COME ON, I NEED

SOME STUFF SO I CAN GET SOME STUFF DONE FOR YOU. COME ON,

WHAT ARE YOU FACING TODAY? YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WHAT ARE YOU

FACING TODAY? MAYBE YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM AND YOU'RE FACING

INCREDIBLE CHALLENGES AND YOU'RE A BELIEVER AND YOU HAVE A RIGHT

TO THIS COVENANT BECAUSE ONCE YOU CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD

TO BE SAVED, THAT COVENANT AND WHAT I JUST SHOWED YOU, PSALM

103 AND WHAT I JUST SHOWED YOU HERE, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE IN

YOUR LIVING ROOM AND YOU'RE LISTENING TO ME, YOU HAVE A

RIGHT TO THIS COVENANT. SO HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. STOP

TALKING AND HAVING AN ATTITUDE. GET YOUR BIBLE OUT, GET THAT

VERSE OUT, AND SAY, LORD, YOU SAID, ACCORDING TO MY ABRAHAMIC

COVENANT, ABRAHAM WAS BLESSED IN EVERYTHING. I'M NOT BLESSED IN

EVERYTHING. I STILL HAVE A SYMPTOM. I STILL HAVE BILLS THAT

ARE MORE THAN WHAT THE MONEY IS COMING IN. LORD, I STILL HAVE A

MARRIAGE NOT RIGHT. I STILL HAVE LONELINESS. I WANT TO BE

MARRIED, I HAVE A RIGHT. JESUS HAD HIS SIDE CUT AND YOU TOOK

EVE OUT OF THE SIDE OF ADAM. YOU TOOK THE CHURCH, THE BRIDE OF

CHRIST OUT OF YESHUA. I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE MARRIED. SO I'M NOT

BLESSED AND EVERYTHING, BUT I DO CLAIM MY ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. YOU

NEED TO DO THAT. NOW MAYBE YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM TODAY AND I

WANT YOU TO HONESTLY THINK ABOUT THIS, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING. I JUST CAME BACK FROM VEGAS, NOT BECAUSE I WENT DOWN

THERE TO SIN IN SIN CITY. OBVIOUSLY I WENT DOWN FOR MY

SON'S FIGHT THERE WITH THE UFC. BUT I WAS WATCHING PEOPLE CRYING

AT THE GAMBLING MACHINES. AND I'M SITTING HERE GOING, WHY ARE

YOU GAMBLING WITH YOUR LIFE? AND CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING? I LOOK

AROUND WHEN I SAW VEGAS AND SAW ALL THE SKYSCRAPERS AND ALL, I

MEAN, WHAT MONEY BUYS AND WHAT YOU CAN HAVE WITH MONEY. AND I

THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WHY DO PEOPLE GAMBLE WHEN IT'S PROOF THAT THE

HOUSE WINS? ALL THE MONEY'S GOING TO, BUT HERE'S WHAT I

HONESTLY THOUGHT ABOUT, AND I WANT YOU TO LISTEN VERY

CAREFULLY, EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM. ARE YOU GAMBLING WITH YOUR

LIFE? ARE YOU GAMBLING WITH YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY? BECAUSE IF YOU

ARE GAMBLING WITH YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY, EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL,

THE DEVIL WILL WIN EVERY TIME. BECAUSE THERE'S NO GAMBLE WITH

JESUS, IT'S CALLED SURRENDER. I WANT YOU TO THINK FOR A MOMENT.

MAYBE YOU'RE IN THIS WORLD AND YOU ARE JUST SICK OF THIS WORLD.

YOU'RE SICK OF LIFE. WELL RATHER THAN BE SICK OF IT, HAVE YOU

EVER CALLED ON GOD TO BE SAVED, TO GIVE YOU AN ETERNAL LIFE, TO

GIVE YOU PEACE? AND LISTEN, ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT I JUST

MENTIONED, YOU HAVE A RIGHT IN YOUR COVENANT. SO I WANNA ASK

YOU TO DO SOMETHING VERY BOLD. IF YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM RIGHT

NOW, PASTOR DOUG, I WANT YOU TO COME. AND YOU'VE NEVER ASKED

JESUS CHRIST TO COME INTO YOUR HEART TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND

YOU'RE GAMBLING WITH YOUR LIFE. YOU'RE THROWING IT AWAY. YOU MAY

BE LOOKING AT ME GOING, YEAH, BUT I HAVE EVERYTHING. WHY DO I

NEED GOD? BECAUSE YOU'RE A SINNER. WE'VE ALL SINNED AND

FELL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. WE NEED TO BE SAVED. IF YOU'RE

IN THIS ROOM AND YOU'VE NEVER ASKED JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR

HEART, I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. THIS IS A BOLD GENERATION. I

WANT YOU TO LIFT IT UP AND SAY, PREACHER, I WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR

ME. PASTOR DOUG IS GOING TO DO THAT. ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM, AND

BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAVE A NEED, AFTER WE GIVE THIS CALL TO THOSE

THAT WANNA GIVE THEIR LIFE TO THE LORD, HE'S GONNA OPEN THE

ALTARS AND THERE'LL BE PRAYER FOR YOU WITH THE PRAYER TEAM.

ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM, LET ME SEE YOU. ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM, YOU

WANNA GIVE YOUR HEART AND YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST? PASTOR

DOUG, GO AHEAD. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE, I SEE A

WOMAN OUT HERE, I DON'T SEE YOU, BUT I SEE YOU IN MY HEART THAT

YOU'RE AFRAID TO RAISE YOUR HAND. WE'RE NOT GONNA EMBARRASS

YOU, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION. GO AHEAD, PASTOR.

LET'S JUST GIVE YOU ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY HERE. IF YOU WANT TO

RESPOND TODAY, I'M GONNA JUST ASK YOU TO STEP RIGHT OUT, COME

RIGHT DOWN TO ME. I'LL PRAY WITH YOU. THE WAY THAT YOU START THAT

COVENANT RELATIONSHIP THAT PASTOR TALKED ABOUT TODAY IS

JUST THROUGH THAT INITIAL PRAYER, ASKING GOD TO COME INTO

YOUR HEART TO FORGIVE YOU FOR SIN. WHEN JESUS WENT TO THE

CROSS, HE EXTENDED HIS ARMS. ONE WAS TO CONNECT YOU, CONNECT

HIMSELF WITH GOD, AND THE OTHER HAND WAS TO CONNECT WITH YOU. IS

THERE ANYONE HERE? YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION. MAYBE

YOU'VE BEEN LED BY RELIGIOUS TRADITION OR SOMEONE'S LEADING

YOU THE WRONG WAY, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION FOR

CHRIST. COME RIGHT DOWN HERE NOW. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE

TODAY, EVERY WEEK WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT RECEIVE JESUS. YOU CAN DO

THAT RIGHT IN YOUR HOTEL ROOM, AT YOUR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, IN

YOUR HOME, WHEREVER YOU MAY BE TODAY. YOU CAN PRAY WITH ME

TODAY. LET'S JUST BOW OUR HEADS TODAY. AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY

TOGETHER. YOU REPEAT AFTER ME. FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR

SENDING JESUS. I BELIEVE HE WENT TO THE CROSS. HE DIED FOR ME.

THE BIBLE SAYS HE WAS BURIED AND HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD ON

THE THIRD DAY. I BELIEVE THAT. FATHER, FORGIVE ME FOR ANY SIN

IN MY LIFE. I ASK YOU TO MAKE ME A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST BECAUSE

OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS. AND JESUS, I WILL SERVE YOU ALL THE

DAYS OF MY LIFE. AMEN. AND IF YOU MADE THAT DECISION TODAY,

YOU CAN CALL OUR PRAYER LINE, 855-777-7907, 24 HOURS A DAY,

AND OUR PRAYER COUNSELORS WILL BE THERE TO GIVE YOU

INFORMATION, SEND YOU SOME HELP ON YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD. SO

WE THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT TODAY. ALTAR TEAM, I'M GOING TO

ASK YOU TO COME UP HERE AT THIS POINT. IF YOU NEED PRAYER FOR

ANYTHING ELSE GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE, OUR PRAYER TEAM WILL BE

HERE. THEY'RE AVAILABLE FOR YOU, AND THEY'RE HONORED TO PRAY WITH

YOU TODAY. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, YOU CAN JUST COME RIGHT UP AS WE

DISMISS. FINALLY, AGAIN, I'LL REMIND YOU, THERE IS A

MEMBERSHIP COURSE THIS THURSDAY NIGHT, 630 P.M. YOU CAN SIGN UP

FOR THAT TODAY IF YOU DECIDE THAT THE LORD IS SPEAKING TO

YOUR HEART ABOUT BEING A MEMBER HERE AT LORD OF HOSTS. IT'LL BE

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS CHURCH AND THEN

PLUG IN AND DRAW CLOSER THROUGH SERVICE AND FELLOWSHIP HERE AT

THE CHURCH. WELL, GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING. HAVE A

WONDERFUL SUNDAY, AND WE'LL SEE YOU

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE HOUSE.
