AROUND THE WORLD THE 250TH YEAR OF AMERICA'S

REIGN. AND WE'VE GOT A SPECIAL

WE'RE GONNA DO PRAYER FOR AMERICA.

SO BE SURE TO JOIN US WEDNESDAY.

I BELIEVE WE OUGHT TO PAVE THE WAY BEFORE THE MIDTERMS AND

LET'S CALL OUT WHAT WE WANNA SEE IN PRAYER IN JESUS NAME.

SO TELL US WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING AND ALSO

JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS LADY HERE, SO YOU KNOW

I HAVE A SECOND JOB.

IT'S CALLED BREAKDOWN BOXES FROM UPS, FEDEX.

AND ALL THESE BOXERS ARE LIKE, "BRENDA, WHAT DID YOU BUY?

IS THIS AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR ME?"

AND IT'S ALL THESE LIKE-DOG FOOD.

WELL, YEAH, 'CAUSE WE HAVE GERMAN SHEPHERDS

AND THE LITTLE GUY.

BUT NO, YOU'VE BEEN ORDERING ALL THESE FLAG STUFF.

OH, YES.

AND SO IT'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY AMAZING.

I GOT A PATRIOTIC DECOR IN THE PIOUS WAY.

AND IT'S AWESOME.

SO WE'LL GET SOME PICTURES AND WE'LL SHOW IT TO YOU.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, HEY, BEFORE WE WORSHIP THE LORD,

I GOTTA TELL YOU THIS.

BROTHER JESSE, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU IN THE HOUSE.

IT IS.

TAKE TOTAL LIBERTY.

I ALREADY TOLD THE PEOPLE THAT YOU MAY GET UP THERE

AND PLAY THAT PIANO.

SO IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN.

WE GOT THE BASS GUITAR AVAILABLE.

IF YOU WANT TO SING WITH ME, WE COULD DO THAT TOO, JESSE.

WE COULD SING.

BUT HERE'S THE THING.

SO I, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER CAME ACROSS

THE BIBLE VERSE WHERE IT TALKED ABOUT THE SERPENT THAT SPOKE?

I CAME ACROSS THE CRAZIEST ARTICLE.

YEAH. WHAT?

TELL US.

THE FIRST KNOWN TALKING DOG.

YEP. AND SO YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY

GOING, THE FIRST-YEP, YEP, YEP, HE SPOKE HIS FIRST

WORDS AND SENTENCE.

AND SO I READ.

I THOUGHT, WELL, WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING THIS GUY?

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY FEED HIM?

SANDPAPER. AND THEN EVERY TIME

HE TALKS, RUFF, RUFF, RUFF IS WHAT HE SAID.

IT'S JUST AMAZING, THE TALKING DOG.

SO I JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE THAT WITH YOU.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, BROTHER JESSE, PLEASE STAY.

(LAUGHING)

OKAY, ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S WORSHIP.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, ARE YOU EXCITED TO BE IN GIRLS' HOUSE TODAY?

THROW THOSE HANDS UP, COME ON, WAVE THEM.

GIVE GOD A WAVE OFFERING.

SAY THESE WORDS, SAY, "LORD JESUS,

IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.

THE ANOINTING OF THE LORD IS FILLING THIS ROOM.

HOLY SPIRIT, TOUCH MY LIFE, AND I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU,

COME ON, SHOUT IT.

(CONGREGATION SHOUTING)

WOO, LET'S PRAISE THE LORD TOGETHER.

(CONGREGATION SHOUTING)

(MUSIC)

COME ON, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER.

(MUSIC)

NOW I'VE GOT TO SHARE SOMETHING.

WHEN YOU'RE SINGING, THERE'S A SHOUT OF A KING

THAT'S IN OUR MIDST.

HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF BALAAM AND HIS DONKEY?

SEE, THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE TRYING TO ENTER INTO THE

PROMISED LAND AND THEY WERE SCARING ALL OF THE

KINGDOMS THAT WERE AROUND.

SO THIS KING SAYS, "YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO HIRE A PROPHET

TO CURSE THE PEOPLE OF GOD."

HOW MANY OF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT'S KIND OF THE DAY THAT WE'RE

LIVING IN, IN OUR NATION, WHERE WE'VE GOT SOME PEOPLE

THAT HAVE BEEN HIRED TO CURSE THE PEOPLE OF GOD?

BUT BALAAM GOES BACK AND SAYS, "I CAN'T CURSE

THE PEOPLE OF GOD."

THAT KING GOES, "WHY NOT?"

BECAUSE THERE IS A SOUND OF A SHOUT OF A KING

THAT IS IN THEIR MIDST.

COME ON NOW, LET'S SING IT LIKE WE MEAN IT WITH FAITH.

(MUSIC)

HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH.

(MUSIC)

WE BOW BEFORE YOU, JESUS.

HOLY IS THE LORD.

HOLY IS THE LORD.

HOLY IS OUR GOD.

YOU STAND ABOVE THEM ALL.

SEATED ON THE THRONE.

YOU STAND ABOVE THEM ALL.

YOU ARE SEATED IN OUR NATION.

YOU ARE STANDING IN AMERICA.

YOU ARE SEATED IN A NATION.

STANDING IN AMERICA.

YOU HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.

YOU HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

AMERICA, AMERICA.

GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE.

OVER MY NATION, LORD, AMERICA.

OVER OUR CITIES, GOD, AMERICA.

GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE.

CAN YOU SING THAT?

AMERICA, AMERICA

GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE

AMERICA, AMERICA..

(MUSIC)

WHAT IS IN THE SOIL OF THIS LAND.

WE SAY IT, YESHUA ALL OVER THE WORLD,

DECLARE HIS GREAT NAME.

AUSTRALIA, RUSSIA, EUROPE, UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA,

SOUTH AMERICA, WE SPEAK THE MAJESTY OF OUR KING.

(MUSIC)

MASTER, WE WORSHIP YOU, WE ADORE YOU, WE WELCOME YOUR

PRESENCE, O GREAT EXALTED KING, MAJESTIC GOD, WE BLESS YOU.

YOUR RULER OVER ALL.

[SPEAKING IN TONGUES]

WE LAY DOWN BEFORE YOU, O GOD.

WE STAND WITH ADONAI, THE RULER, THE MOST HIGH GOD, OUR GOD.

COME ON, SOME OF YOU NEED TO RAISE YOUR HANDS IN EXALTATION

TO GOD.

LET IT BE DECLARED IN THE HEAVENS.

LET IT BE DECLARED UPON THE EARTH.

LET IT BE DECLARED ALL THROUGHOUT HELL THAT YESHUA,

HE IS THE LION OF JUDAH.

WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE WORSHIP YOU, O GOD OF HOSTS.

WE BLESS YOUR NAME.

COME ON.

RAISE UP.

SOME OF YOU AT HOME NEED TO DO THIS.

COME ON, SOME OF YOU IN THE ROOM, JUST BEGIN

TO LIFT UP YOUR HANDS.

WHEN THE HANDS OF MOSES WAS RAISED IN HIS DAY,

THERE WAS GREAT VICTORY THAT WAS BROUGHT

TO THE PEOPLE AND TO THE NATION.

AND SO THIS IS WHAT GOD HAS COME AT THIS TIME,

TO DECLARE THAT VICTORY HAS BEEN PRONOUNCED

OVER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS YOU ENTER INTO YOUR

250TH YEAR OF AMERICA'S REIGN.

THIS IS THE TIME, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF GOD, FOR

THE REWARD OF THE LORD.

FOR BLESSED IS THE NATION WHO THE LORD IS THEIR GOD.

AND I HAVE COME BECAUSE OF THE SOUND OF MY

PEOPLE WHO HAVE PRAYED.

AND IT HAS NOT BEEN THE SOUND OF MANY,

BUT IT HAS BEEN THE SOUND OF MY REMNANT,

THE FEW WHO HAS CAPTURED MY HEART AT THIS TIME

TO RELEASE MY REWARD.

THEREFORE LIFT UP YOUR HANDS, SAYS THE LIVING GOD.

VICTORY IS COMING, AND WITH YOUR HANDS AS THEY ARE RAISED,

IT IS ALSO A DAY OF RECKONING, A DAY OF JUDGMENT AGAINST THOSE

WHO HAVE SHOOK THEIR FISTS AGAINST GOD HIMSELF AND THOSE

WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD PUSH ME OUT OF THE

HISTORY OF YOUR NATION.

NAY, SAYS THE LIVING GOD, IT SHALL NOT BE, FOR THE DAY OF

RECKONING NOW IS AT HAND, WHERE THERE IS NO CLEARING

OF THE GUILTY, OF THOSE WHO HAVE TOUCHED THE

CHILDREN, THOSE WHO HAVE SOUGHT TO BRING FORTH A

MORAL DECLINE WITH INIQUITY.

THEY SHALL BE BROUGHT TO A PLACE OF ACCOUNTABILITY

IN MY DAY, SAYS THE LORD.

COME ON.

YESHUA.

YOU STAND AS GOD.

YOU STAND AS THE LORD ETERNAL.

THEREFORE, AS WE STAND IN THE REVERENCE

AND THE HONOR OF THY NAME, AND WHERE YOU ARE SEATED, O GOD,

OUR KING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF OUR FATHER,

WE HUMBLE OURSELVES

AS JOINT HEIRS TO THINK

BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD.

IT IS OUR RIGHT NOW THAT WE SHARE IN ALL THE SAME BLESSINGS

THAT WAS PURCHASED AND PAID FOR BY ROYAL BLOOD.

IT IS OUR HONOR TO EXALT YOU.

IT IS OUR HONOR TO DECLARE THE GREATNESS OF WHO YOU ARE.

YOU ARE LORD OVER THE UNITED STATES.

SPIRIT OF GOD DECLARES, DO YOU THINK AS YOU ENTER

INTO YOUR 250TH YEAR OF AMERICA'S REIGN THAT I WOULD

FORGET YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN?

FOR THERE HAS BEEN GREAT ASSIGNMENTS THAT HAVE COME

AGAINST THE CHILDREN, THE YOUTH OF THIS LAND AND THE EARTH.

BUT I HAVE COME TO GATHER THEM IN MY ARMS NOW,

THAT THERE WILL BE THAT WHICH YOU WILL CALL FORMER THINGS.

AND YOU WILL SAY NEW THINGS, NEW THINGS ARE ARISING.

WHY IS THIS?

IS IT LEGISLATION?

IS IT YOUR PRESIDENT OR IS IT THE PEOPLE?

GOD SAYS THIS IS THE WORK OF MY HANDS THAT SHALL MOVE

THROUGH ALL OF THAT.

AND YOU WILL SEE FORMER THINGS.

I SPEAK THIS IN REGARDS WHERE THERE WAS A DAY WHERE THEY TOOK

MY WORD FROM THE SCHOOLS AND FROM THE CHILDREN.

THEY TOOK PRAYER TO I, THEIR GOD, FROM

THE SCHOOLS AND FROM THEIR CHILDREN.

THEY TOOK THE COMMANDMENTS FROM THE HALLS

AND FROM THEIR WALLS TOO.

YET I HAVE COME TO RESTORE.

AND YOU WILL SEE MY VISITATION

AND ACCELERATION.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE SCHOOLS AND

HOW I WILL JUDGE EVEN THE FOOLS.

FOR IT IS THE DAY OF YOUR GOD AND THE DAY OF HIS ACCELERATION

TOO. NOW I WANT YOU, THOSE OF

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD, I WANT

YOU TO LIFT UP YOUR HANDS

AS A SIGN OF COMPLETE HUMILITY AND SURRENDER.

BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS

THAT YOU LIFT YOUR HEART BY LIFTING YOUR HANDS.

I WANT YOU TO LIFT YOUR HEART AND EXALT HIM.

JUST ANOTHER MOMENT AS YOU WORSHIP HIM AND HONOR HIM.

YOU SEE, HIS BLOOD IS NOT NOR WAS IT CHEAP.

HE PAID THE GREATEST PRICE THAT HAS EVER BEEN

PAID IN ALL EXISTENCE.

AND WITH THAT, WE DECLARE THAT HE IS LORD.

YOU ARE LORD.

WE WORSHIP YOU.

COME ON, SING IT REAL QUICK, CHRISSY.

BE RAISED UP, BE RAISED UP, STOP LYING ON THE COUCH.

JUST A FEW MORE MOMENTS TO EXALT HIM.

LET US HEAR THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY SOMETHING TO

ME BEFORE WE TRANSITION.

AND I SAY TO YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THE EVIL ONES THAT

YOU ARE, DO NOT MISWRITE.

BUT I HEAR THE LORD TELLING ME TO SAY, THERE HAS BEEN THAT

WHICH HAS BEEN SPOKEN FROM THE BOWELS OF HELL TO

CREATE A PROVERB IN THE EARTH THAT IS NOT TRUE.

AND IT IS IN REGARD TO YOUR PRESIDENT CONCERNING

A HEALTH CONCERN.

THERE IS NO CONCERN, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

DO NOT PULL THAT INTO THE EARTH WHEN YOU SEE

IT WRITTEN AND SAID.

FATHER, WE PRAY LASTLY FOR OUR PRESIDENT,

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

WE SPEAK THE ANOINTING AND THE BLOOD COVENANT

RIGHT OF PRESERVATION.

HE IS PRESERVED FROM WITCHCRAFT, FROM EVIL, FROM DIVINATION.

HE IS PRESERVED FROM SICKNESS AND DISEASE AND DEATH.

AND LORD, EVEN THE AGENDA AND THE ANOINTING

THAT YOU HAVE PLACED UPON HIM IS PRESERVED

FOR THE SAKE OF OUR GOD AND OF HIS PEOPLE.

THEREFORE, THAT ANOINTING

WILL PRESERVE HIM AND OUR COUNTRY GOING FORWARD,

AND IT SHALL REST UPON OTHERS AS THEY WILL WALK IN

THAT ANOINTING TOO.

WE LOVE GOD.

DON'T YOU LOVE GOD?

WE LOVE YOU GOD.

COME ON, GIVE HIM PRAISE.

AMEN. MAN, WE COULD KEEP GOING ON

AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON BECAUSE I FEEL GOD, MAN.

I FEEL IT IN MY BONES.

OH, HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

I WANT YOU TO GREET ONE ANOTHER IN THE

NAME OF THE LORD.

AND WE HAVE A 250TH YEAR OF AMERICA'S REIGN.

AND ASK SOMEBODY IF THEY KNOW WHEN JULY 4 IS.

NOT WHAT DAY, BUT IF THEY KNOW WHEN JULY 4 IS.

ALL RIGHT, GREET ONE ANOTHER IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, AMEN.

(MUSIC)

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME IN THE BUILDING,

WE WANT TO MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME.

I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVED A BLUE GIFT BAG

WHEN YOU CAME INSIDE THE DOOR.

IF YOU DID NOT, YOU'LL WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE

BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME GOODIES TUCKED IN THERE FOR YOU,

AS WELL AS A GUEST REGISTRY PACKET.

SO IF YOU WOULD PULL THAT OUT AT THIS TIME,

IT HAS A PICTURE OF THE STAGE ON THE FRONT OF IT.

INSIDE THAT, THERE'S SOME INFORMATION

WE WANT TO SEND HOME WITH YOU, AS WELL AS A BRIGHT ORANGE

STAY CONNECTED CARD ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE.

GO AHEAD AND TEAR THAT OFF, FILL IT OUT,

DROP IT IN THE OFFERING BASKET WHEN IT COMES BY.

IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS, WE WANNA MAKE SURE

YOU GET ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE

AT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH RIGHT TO YOU.

SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT FILLED OUT THIS MORNING.

IF YOU'RE WATCHING BY LIVESTREAM, FACEBOOK LIVE,

ROKU, YOUTUBE, RUMBLE, OR ONE VOICE TV,

WE WANNA WELCOME YOU TO THE SERVICE AS WELL,

OR ANY OF THOSE OTHER PLATFORMS WE HAVE OUT THERE.

SO PLEASE GET CONNECTED TO ONE VOICE TV.

I KEEP SAYING IT, I SAY IT EVERY WEEK,

BUT ONE VOICE TV IS OUR STREAMING PLATFORM.

WE BUILT IT FOR YOU TO BE BLESSED

BY ALL THE CONTENT THAT'S OUT THERE.

YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO SERVICES, BOTH LIVE AND ARCHIVED.

YOU CAN ALSO GET ACCESS TO A LOT OF OTHER GREAT CONTENT,

NEW LEVEL, DAILY DECREE, GAME CHANGERS,

SO PLEASE GET OUT THERE, BE BLESSED

BY ALL THE GREAT CONTENT WE'VE GOT ON ONE VOICE TV.

IF YOU WOULD JUST GIVE ALL OUR GUESTS HERE

AT ONLINE A HAND, AS PASTOR BRENDA COMES.

AMEN, ALL RIGHT, WOW.

OH MY GOODNESS, WE'VE ALREADY HAD CHURCH SO FAR.

WELL, VERY QUICKLY BEFORE WE GET INTO THIS MORNING'S OFFERING

JUST WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY WE HAVE GOT

A GROUP OF GUEST SPEAKERS.

I MEAN, WE'RE KICKING THIS SUMMER OFF

WITH JESSE DUPLANTIS TODAY.

SO IF YOU'RE JUST TUNING IN, BE SURE TO SHARE THE

BROADCAST AND THE STREAM ON ALL THE PLATFORMS

THAT WE'RE ON.

SHARE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE, LET 'EM KNOW.

AND THEN OF COURSE, NEXT WEEKEND,

PASTOR AND I WILL BE BACK IN THE PULPIT.

AND THEN WE HAVE, AFTER THAT, WE'RE GONNA TAKE

A LITTLE VACATION.

THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW, WE TYPICALLY TAKE A COUPLE

SUNDAYS OFF IN JULY.

SO THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S YOUR CUE TO STAY HOME,

UNLESS YOU ALREADY PLANNED YOUR BEACH RESORT

AND YOUR AIRBNB IS RENTED.

BE SURE TO BE HERE ON THE 12TH OF JULY FOR DR. GENE BAILEY.

HE'S GONNA BE IN THE HOUSE SHARING THE WORD OF THE LORD.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE SUNDAY AFTER THAT,

THE 19TH, RICHARD ROBERTS IS GONNA BE WITH US.

AND SO YOU WANT TO BE HERE FOR ALL OF THOSE SERVICES

AND IT'S GONNA BE AN AWESOME TIME.

AND THEN I WON'T MENTION MUCH ELSE EXCEPT SEPTEMBER.

THERE'S A LITTLE EVENT HAPPENING AND WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED.

SEPTEMBER 10TH THROUGH THE 13TH, OPENING THE HEAVENS,

THE LION HAS CONQUERED IS THE THEME THIS YEAR.

AND WITH US AGAIN WILL BE KENT CHRISTMAS.

WE GOT A GROUP OF PEOPLE, LORENZO SEWELL WILL BE BACK,

TONY SUAREZ, MR. PENTECOST HIMSELF WILL

BE BACK IN THE HOUSE AND WE'RE GONNA

HAVE ALL THE LISTS.

GO OUT TO OPENINGTHEHEAVENS.ORG AND MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE.

TIM SHEETS IS GONNA BE HERE TOO.

I BELIEVE HE'S GONNA HAVE A WORD TO PROPHESY OVER THE MIDTERMS.

SO I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT.

WE'RE GONNA DO IT RIGHT HERE IN THE TABERNACLE.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

IT'S GONNA BE GOOD.

AND YES, WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CROWD.

SO DON'T STAY HOME AND THINK THERE WON'T BE A SEAT FOR ME.

NO, DON'T DO THAT.

THERE'LL BE A SEAT FOR YOU.

LISTEN, YOU CAN PULL UP SOME RUG AND YOU CAN SIT AND GET

THE ANOINTING, AMEN?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP FOR TODAY.

WE ARE GONNA RECEIVE A SEPARATE OFFERING

FOR BROTHER JESSE AT THE END OF THE SERVICE,

BUT I WANNA GIVE YOU A VERY BRIEF WORD.

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

I ALWAYS ASK GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SHARE

DURING OFFERING TIME?

WE ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE NUGGET

DURING THE GIVING PORTION.

AND THIS IS JESUS PREACHING AND HE SAID,

"LAY NOT UP FOR," WHAT'S THE WORD THERE?

YOURSELVES, TOUCH YOURSELVES, SAY THAT MEANS ME.

ME.

"LAY NOT UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES ON EARTH

"WHERE MOTH AND RUST CAN CORRUPT IT," RIGHT?

"AND WHERE THIEVES CAN BREAK THROUGH AND STEAL."

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T ALWAYS DEPEND ON THE ECONOMY,

SO DON'T PUT ALL OF YOUR EGGS IN THE NATURAL, RIGHT?

YOU NEED IT CONNECTED TO GOD.

BUT LOOK AT THE NEXT PART, I NEVER, NEVER

CAUGHT THIS BEFORE.

BUT LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES.

SO WHEN YOU'RE GIVING, WE ALWAYS SAY,

OH, WHEN WE'RE GIVING, WE'RE DOING IT FOR GOD.

AND THAT'S TRUE.

WE ABSOLUTELY DO IT FOR GOD.

WE DO IT SO THE CHURCH CAN PROSPER, RIGHT?

RIGHT, IT'S NOT A GOOD THING WHEN THE WORLD

HAS ALL THE MONEY.

THE KINGDOM OUGHT TO HAVE RESOURCES.

I WAS TELLING BROTHER JESSE IN THE BACK ON OUR WAY OUT HERE,

'CAUSE HE HAD GIVEN US A WORD SOME TIME AGO,

WHEN WE WERE BUILDING THIS BUILDING IN 2022 TO '24,

IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, ALL OF A SUDDEN,

WE WERE PUT IN A POSITION TO BUY THREE OTHER PROPERTIES

AT THE SAME TIME.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF PLACES THAT DO THAT.

IT'S NOT NORMAL TO BE IN A BUILDING SITUATION

AND THEN BE BUYING OTHER PROPERTIES, RIGHT?

SO YOU NEED THE FINANCES CONNECTED TO GOD

'CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT GOD IS GONNA ASSIGN YOU TO.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ECONOMY IS GONNA DO.

WE CAN'T PUT OUR DEPENDENCE ON THE NATURAL.

THAT WAS A FAITH STEP, BUT WE JUST WENT AND DID IT

BECAUSE WE'RE CONNECTED TO THE SUPERNATURAL.

BUT JESUS SAID IT LIKE THIS, SO DON'T PUT ALL YOUR TRUST

IN THE NATURAL INVESTMENTS AND WHAT YOU DO IN THE NATURAL.

HE SAID, "BUT LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES."

NOW, YEAH, WE DO IT FOR GOD.

WE DO IT FOR THE KINGDOM.

WE DO IT FOR THE CHURCH, BUT DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GIVE,

YOU ALSO DO IT FOR YOURSELF.

OH, PASTOR BRENDA, THAT SOUNDS SO SELFISH.

NO, THIS IS THE WORDS OF THE MASTER.

HE SAID, "YOU'RE DOING IT FOR YOURSELF.

"LAY UP FOR YOURSELF."

TOUCH YOURSELF AGAIN, SAY, "THAT MEANS ME."

THAT MEANS ME.

WHEN YOU'RE GIVING, DO YOU KNOW

YOU ARE BENEFITING YOURSELF?

WHEN YOU LAY UP FOR YOURSELF, COME ON, THOSE OF YOU

THAT THAT RELIGIOUS DEMON DOESN'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT,

LAY UP FOR YOURSELF.

COME ON, JUST SAY IT, MYSELF.

MYSELF.

SO YOU CAN SAY IT LIKE THIS, WHEN I GIVE,

COME ON, SAY THAT.

I ALSO DO IT FOR ME.

OH MAN, THAT JUST WILL MAKE EVERY RELIGIOUS

IDEOLOGY JUST ITCH.

BUT JESUS SAID IT.

HE SAID, "NO, WHEN YOU GIVE, YOU DO FOR YOURSELF."

NOW, THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE.

IF YOU'RE NOT A GIVER, YOU DON'T TITHE, YOU REFUSE TO

TITHE, YOU REFUSE TO GIVE.

YOU KNOW, WE OFTEN HEAR PEOPLE USE THE PHRASEOLOGY,

YOU KNOW, "UNFORGIVENESS," YOU'VE HEARD THIS,

"UNFORGIVENESS HURTS ONLY YOUR..."

WELL, "NON-GIVING HURTS ONLY YOUR..."

BUT GIVING, ON THE OTHER HAND, COME ON SOMEBODY, ON THE OTHER

HAND, A TITHER, ON THE OTHER HAND, A GIVER, ON THE OTHER

HAND, SOMEONE THAT GIVES INTO THE THINGS OF THE KINGDOM

OF GOD.

YOU DO IT TO BLESS YOURSELF.

YOU'LL BLESS GOD, BUT IT WILL BLESS YOURSELF.

HALLELUJAH. AND THAT'S WHAT JESUS PREACHED.

SO HE SAID, IF YOU PUT IT UP THERE, THE DEVIL

CAN'T CORRUPT IT AND IT'LL BENEFIT YOURSELF.

THAT'S NOT SELFISH TALK.

THAT'S COVENANT TALK.

THAT'S KINGDOM TALK.

AMEN. SO YOU'RE READY TO GIVE?

COME ON, BE A KINGDOM BLESSER, BUT

ALSO BE A SELF-BLESSER, BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW

HOLDS, BUT IF YOU'VE INVESTED IN THE KINGDOM, YOURSELF

WILL BE BLESSED.

THAT'S GOOD PREACHING.

COME ON, AMEN?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT THE GIVING

INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN.

WE'RE GOING TO GET BROTHER JESSE UP TO PREACH IN A

FEW MOMENTS, BUT RIGHT AFTER THE OFFERING,

OUR CHILDREN HAD AMAZING VBS YESTERDAY, AND

THEY'RE GOING TO SING A LITTLE SPECIAL FOR US.

SO TEXT TO GIVE THE MOBILE APP WEBSITE, SCAN THE

QR CODE, THE ENVELOPE.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF OUR ONLINE ECAMPUS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

THAT DO SHARE IN THE GIVING.

YOU WERE KEY TO HELPING US BUY THOSE THREE BUILDINGS

AND BUILD THIS TABERNACLE.

AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE NEXT ADVENTURE,

SHILOH, OUR NEXT QUEST TO TAKE PROPERTY.

AND MY GOODNESS, SO THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE,

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT LANDLOCKED HERE,

BUT WE WANT TO GET A RETREAT SITE,

AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.

WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THAT MORE AND MORE.

SO BE A PART OF THAT, BE GIVING.

LET'S BE GENEROUS WITH OUR SEEDS TODAY,

ALL THROUGH THE SUMMER.

DON'T SPEND IT ALL ON THE AIRBNB.

GIVE TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

AMEN? PRAISE THE LORD.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, AS THE USHERS ARE BEGINNING TO SERVE YOU,

ALSO JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT AS YOU'RE GIVING,

WE ARE GOING TO BE REOPENING THE SPECIAL POSSESS THE LAND FUND

THAT YOU CAN GIVE INTO TO HELP WITH THAT PROJECT.

SO BE LOOKING FOR THAT AS WELL.

AND WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE THINGS TO SAY,

LOTS OF EXCITING THINGS.

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S AWESOME WHEN THE KINGDOM OF

GOD IS TAKING GROUND?

COME ON, WE'RE NOT RECOILING, WE'RE ADVANCING.

PRAISE THE LORD.

ALL RIGHT, WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR GIVING READY,

STAND UP ON YOUR FEET TODAY.

PRAISE GOD.

ALL RIGHT, DO YOU KNOW THE DRILL?

HOLD YOUR OFFERING UP REAL HIGH, HOLD UP YOUR PHONE.

THOSE OF YOU ONLINE, DO IT TOO, UNLESS YOU'RE DRIVING.

HOLD IT UP BOLDLY, HOLD IT UP STRONG

LIKE A SWORD IN YOUR HAND.

LET ME PRAY FOR YOU.

FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT EVERY PERSON THAT'S GIVING TODAY

IS BLESSING THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT ACCORDING TO THE WORDS

OF JESUS OUR LORD, THEY ARE ALSO BLESSING THEMSELVES.

AND WE THANK YOU THAT MOTH, RUST, NOTHING THE DEVIL CAN

TRY, CAN INTERRUPT, DISRUPT, THE OUTCOME WILL ALWAYS BE

SUPERNATURAL AND MIRACULOUS.

AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT, WE HONOR YOU FOR IT,

IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME, AND WE SEAL THAT DECLARATION

IN THE SPIRIT, IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

I SHOUT AMEN.

YOU AGREE, OKAY, YOU'RE READY TO DO OUR DECREE?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S READ IT WITH ALL OUR HEARTS.

I'M JUST A HOT SEXY LITTLE PRINCESS.

YOU CAN GET A GOOD GIRL, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I NEED.

YOU'RE CUTE TOO, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, SO I GOT A QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT, BEFORE I BRING BROTHER JESSE UP.

MAN, LOOK AT YOU DOWN THERE.

HOW YOU DOING?

DOING GOOD?

UP HIGH?

YOU WANT TO GO UP HIGH?

YOU DON'T WANT TO GO UP HIGH?

UP HIGH, THERE YOU GO.

I GOT A QUESTION.

WHO CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION?

HOW DO YOU SPELL USA?

YEAH, HOW DO YOU SPELL IT?

HUH? U-B-A.

U-B-A?

U-B-A.

U-B-A?

U-B-A.

U-B-A?

U-B-A.

YOU ARE...

WHAT? SAY IT SLOW.

YOU OR ME?

YOU, ME, ME?

USA. USA!

I KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU.

HOW DO YOU SPELL USA?

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, LAST QUESTION.

I HEARD THEY PAID YOU GUYS MONEY TO COME HERE TO VBS.

IS THAT TRUE?

HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE?

USA.

OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE?

NO MONEY?

OKAY, BORROW SOME FROM DAD.

HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE?

HOW MUCH MONEY?

DIDN'T THEY PAY YOU MONEY TO COME?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK THEY OWE YOU 20 BUCKS, SO GO ASK THE TEACHER,

THEY'LL PAY YOU, SO.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR THE KIDS.

LET'S SAY USA, USA!

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

ALL RIGHT, WE LOVE YOU GUYS.

YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND GO.

I THINK THEY WANT YOU TO GO THAT WAY.

WHICH WAY, THAT WAY.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT HOLIDAY.

WHAT'S THE NEXT HOLIDAY?

THE 5TH OF JULY, WE'LL SEE YOU THE 5TH OF JULY.

OH, OH, THE 4TH OF JULY.

JULY.

OH, THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME.

I WAS ASKING THEM IF THEY KNEW WHEN THE 4TH OF JULY WAS,

AND THEY COULDN'T ANSWER.

SO WHEN IS IT?

WHAT?

WHEN IS THE 4TH OF JULY?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S THE 4TH OF JULY.

SO IT'S NOT THE 5TH?

NO, IT'S THE 4TH.

OH, I WAS PLEADING THE 5TH, BUT IT'S THE--

IT'S THE 4TH.

OKAY, THANKS GUYS.

I'LL ASK PASTOR BRENDA, SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING.

I MEAN, ASK HER, SO.

ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BRING OUT THE PULPIT.

BROTHER JESSE, I'M NOT GONNA INTERVIEW YOU.

HE SAID OKAY.

(LAUGHS)

SO ANYWAY, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BRING THE PULPIT.

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WE ARE IN FOR TREATS.

WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND STAND,

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.

I'M GONNA INTRODUCE, NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU

HAVE EVER WATCHED THAT, I THINK IT'S LIKE ON SUNDAY MORNINGS

WHERE THEY HAD THOSE MONSTER TRUCKS AND YOU HEAR THE GUY,

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, ARE YOU READY?

SO I'M GONNA INTRODUCE OUR GUEST LIKE THAT.

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?

INTRODUCING THE RAGE INCAGER, JESSE DEPLANTIS.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH.

GIVE THE LORD A GREAT GOD BLESS YOU, COME ON.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

OH, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT, COME ON.

HOO, HOO, HOO, HOO.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

HALLELUJAH, YOU MAY BE SEATED.

HOW DO YOU SPELL USA?

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

IT'S HIGH HONOR TO STAND IN THIS PULPIT.

I HADN'T BEEN IN THIS BUILDING, AND I THINK THE LAST

TIME WE WERE TOGETHER WAS AT THE CONVENTION

CENTER OR SOMEPLACE.

AND I REALLY LIKE HANK AND BRENDA, THE

BLESSINGS OF THE LORD.

AND WHAT SISTER BRENDA WAS SAYING ABOUT OFFERING, LET ME

JUST SAY THIS REAL QUICKLY.

MY FAVORITE TIME OF SERVICE IS THE OFFERING.

AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF MONEY.

IS I NEVER FORGET THIS, MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, I WAS GIVING

GOD SOMETHING AND HE SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

THE LORD TOLD ME TO SAY THIS.

HE SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, JESSE?"

I SAID, "I'M GIVING YOU AN OFFERING."

HE SAYS, "WHY?

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

I SAID, "YEAH."

HE SAID, "YOU KNOW, I'M EL SHADDAI.

I HAVE OVER 70 NAMES."

I SAID, "I DON'T NEED NOTHING."

I SAID, "I KNOW."

HE SAID, "BUT, YOU KNOW," HE SAID, "IF IT'S NOT

THERE, I JUST CREATE IT."

I SAID, "I UNDERSTAND THAT."

HE SAID, "BUT WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY ARE YOU GIVING IT?"

I SAID, "'CAUSE I WANT TO.

I JUST LOVE YOU."

YOU SEE, LOVE MAKES OBEDIENCE EASY.

THAT'LL PREACH THE HORNS OFF A BILLY GOAT RIGHT THERE.

HE SAID, "YEAH, BUT I DON'T NEED..."

I SAID, "I KNOW.

I JUST LIKE TO DO THAT.

I JUST LIKE BEING A BLESSING TO YOU."

YOU KNOW, AND A LOT OF TIMES I GIVE AND DO THINGS.

I DON'T TELL PEOPLE WHAT I GIVE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY

HOMES I'VE PAID OFF, CARS I'VE BOUGHT FOR PEOPLE, CHURCHES,

EVEN, I DON'T MEAN I PRIDEFULLY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

WHY? BECAUSE I WANT TO.

I JUST ENJOY BEING A BLESSING.

AND I HAVE TO WATCH WHAT I SAY BECAUSE I GET IT.

OKAY, I LOST THAT CROWD.

LET ME GO OVER HERE.

I DO.

THE ANOINTING OF INCREASE IS ON ME.

IT AIN'T MY FAULT.

DON'T GET MAD AT ME.

I'VE BEEN DEBT FREE SINCE 1982.

NOT BRAGGING ON THAT.

I DON'T MIND PEOPLE BORROWING MONEY BECAUSE

GOD MADE ABRAHAM A LENDER.

SOMEBODY GOT TO BORROW IT TO BE A LENDER.

IT'S JUST SUCH A BLESSING, SEE?

AND I WAS ENJOYING THE OFFERING TEACHING.

AND I SAID, NOT ONLY THAT YOU'RE LAYING UP TREASURES FOR

YOURSELF, PEOPLE THINK THAT'S GREED.

NO, THAT'S GROWTH.

THIS IS NOT MY SERMON.

THIS IS AN HORS D'OEUVRE, JUST A LITTLE PIECE.

AND IT'S JUST SUCH A BLESSING OF THE LORD.

AND YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN AROUND HANK KUNNEMAN,

AND A LOT OF TIME HE'S BEEN ON TELEVISION,

OR MAYBE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BROTHER COPELAND SAID,

"I LIKE TO WATCH HIM PROPHESY, 'CAUSE IT GETS REAL LOUD."

I ENJOY THAT.

"THE LORD!"

I SAY, "WHOA."

I SAY, "DON'T BREAK SOMETHING, PLEASE."

AND IT'S JUST SUCH A BLESSING.

GIVE THE LORD ONE MORE HAND CLAP, COME ON.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

I BROUGHT SOME MATERIALS SINCE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO GET

SOME REAL QUICKLY, ROY, YOU CAN JUST STAND RIGHT THERE.

AND I'VE HEARD IT ALL, IT'S VERY GOOD.

AND JUST STAND RIGHT THERE, THAT'S GOOD.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME.

AND YOU CAN HAVE A BOOK.

THIS IS MY NEWEST BOOK, IT'S JUST COME OUT, HUH?

WE JUST GOT THIS THING, "CREATE YOUR WORLD AND WALK IN IT."

YOU SEE, THE REASON WHY I'M NEVER SATISFIED,

I'M NEVER SURPRISED, MY DAUGHTER SAID,

"DAD, EVERYTHING ALWAYS WORKS FOR YOU."

I SAID, "YEAH, WHY?"

'CAUSE I CREATE MY WORLD AND I WALK IN IT.

I DON'T WALK IN ANYBODY ELSE'S WORLD.

I CREATE MINE.

SINCE I KNOW WHAT'S COMING AND I KNOW WHAT'S GOING.

THIS BOOK IS BRAND NEW.

THIS IS THE FIRST CHURCH OR ANYBODY THAT GETS THIS.

THIS JUST CAME OUT, WHAT, ABOUT A WEEK, IF THAT MUCH?

AND IT'S, I LIKE THIS IN CHAPTER NINE,

BE NOT CONFORMED MEANS DON'T WALK IN THEIR WORLD.

I'VE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE ME WALK IN THEIR WORLD.

I AIN'T DOING THAT.

YOU BROKE, BUSTED, AND SICK.

WHAT I WON'T DO THAT.

THAT'S BACK THERE IF YOU'D LIKE TO GET THAT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I'LL DO THIS REAL QUICKLY.

NOW, ALL MY BOOKS ARE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLERS.

I DON'T MEAN THAT PRIDEFULLY.

MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

MY MONEY IS CALLED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

AND I GIVE IT TO GOD'S WORK.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THAT?

I'M SERIOUS, YOU KNOW?

BECAUSE MONEY WAS THE MOST DISAPPOINTING THING IN MY LIFE.

I WAS RAISED VERY POOR, AND I WASN'T ASHAMED OF THAT.

MY MOM AND DAD DID THE BEST THEY COULD, YOU KNOW?

BUT I STARTED PLAYING MUSIC WHEN I WAS SIX YEARS OLD.

AND I PLAY ABOUT 11 INSTRUMENTS, AND I WENT INTO THE ROCK WORLD.

AND I MEAN, WAY BACK WHEN, I MEAN, MY HAIR WAS DOWN TO HERE.

HALLELUJAH. IT WAS DARK CHOCOLATE BROWN.

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE IT BY FAITH, BUT IT WAS BROWN.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

AND I WORKED ON THAT, AND SOME OF YOU HEARD ME SAY THAT.

I WORKED ON THE SAME CIRCUIT, LED ZEPPELIN, GRAND FUNK,

KISS, ZZ TOP, JOE COCKER.

OH, LORD.

I LOVE ALL THAT STUFF, YOU KNOW.

AND TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WHAT HAPPENED IS WHEN I GOT BORN

AGAIN, BEING RAISED CATHOLIC, I THOUGHT I HAD TO BE POOR.

SO I GAVE ALL THE MONEY AWAY.

BOY, THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME, BUT THEY SURE LIKED MY MONEY.

AND THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY.

AND I'M SAYING ALL THAT THIS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, TO ME,

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT TO BE PROSPEROUS

IN TERMS OF THE CHURCH.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO BE POOR BECAUSE I HAD NEVER

READ THE BIBLE.

I THANK GOD FOR THEM GIDEONS.

THAT'S THE ONLY BIBLE I EVER READ

BECAUSE THEY WERE IN HOTELS.

AFTER I GOT BORN AGAIN, I CALLED THE GIDEON.

I SAID, "I STOLE YOUR BIBLE."

THEY SAID, "YOU CAN'T STEAL A GIDEON BIBLE."

I SAID, "I STOLE YOUR BIBLE, MAN.

I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW.

I TOOK IT OUT OF THE HOTEL, BROUGHT IT OVER."

SO I SENT HIM A BIG DONATION, HE WAS SO BLESSED.

I'M SAYING ALL THAT TO THIS.

I NEVER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE GOSPEL

BECAUSE I WAS RAISED CATHOLIC.

I DON'T MEAN THAT TO BE CRITICAL.

ALL I KNEW WAS

[SPEAKING IN TONGUES]

YOU KNOW.

[LAUGHTER]

TWO PRAYERS, ALL I KNEW, HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE,

THE LORD IS WITH THEE.

BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN, BLESSED IS THE FRUIT

OF THY WOMB, JESUS, HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD.

PRAY FOR OUR SINNERS NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH.

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN CATHOLIC?

HOLD YOUR HAND UP.

I BET YOU YOU CAN REPEAT THAT PRAYER.

THEY JAMMED IT SO DEEP INSIDE OF YOU, YOU'LL NEVER FORGET IT.

AND THE OTHER ONE WAS, "OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN,

HALLOWED BE THY NAME, THY KINGDOM COME."

SAY IT REAL FAST.

USE THOSE PRAYERS FOR CONFESSION.

HOW MANY OF Y'ALL WENT TO CONFESSION?

PUT YOUR HAND UP.

HOW MANY OF YOU TOLD THE TRUTH?

ONE LADY.

TWO. NOT ME, BUDDY.

I LIE LIKE A DOG.

I'M TRYING TO GET OUT WITH THREE HAIL MARYS

AND THREE OUR FATHERS.

I'M SAYING ALL OF IT, SAY THIS, THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER

HEARD THE TRUE WORD OF GOD.

THIS BOOK CALLED "DISTORTION, THE VANITY OF GENETICALLY

ALTERED CHRISTIANITY."

IF FOR 2000 YEARS, THEY'VE GENETICALLY

ALTERED THE WORD OF GOD.

LET ME GIVE YOU A PRIME EXAMPLE.

HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE BACON?

HOLD YOUR HAND UP.

LIKE BACON?

PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.

HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE PORK CHOPS?

SAME PEOPLE.

HOW COME THE BACON TASTES DIFFERENT THAN THE PORK CHOP?

COME FROM THE SAME PIG.

THEY GENETICALLY ALTERED IT.

AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER TRULY HEARD THE WORD OF GOD.

THIS HERE WILL BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF.

LET ME JUST MAKE THIS NOW.

IF YOU'RE A BABY CHRISTIAN, DO NOT GO GET THIS BOOK.

THIS WILL GIVE YOU DIARRHEA.

YOU DON'T WANT IT.

DON'T BUY, DON'T DO IT.

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, I'M GOING TO SHAKE YOUR TREE.

IT'S A NUMBER ONE BEST SELLER, BUT MOST PEOPLE

BUY A LOT WHEN THEY READ IT AND GO, "WOO, WHOA."

BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD THE TRUE WORD OF GOD.

THAT'S BACK THERE.

AND THEN THIS HERE, I LOVE THIS.

SO MANY PEOPLE SAY, "I CAN'T SEEM TO GET MY PRAYER ANSWER

"'CAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO DO GOD'S JOB."

THAT AIN'T YOUR JOB TO DO GOD'S JOB.

YOUR JOB IS TO GIVE GOD A JOB.

YOUR JOB IS JUST TO BELIEVE IT.

I DON'T STRUGGLE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM,

SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY, FINANCIALLY.

I'M CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF MINISTRY THIS YEAR.

I'M PREACHING 50 YEARS.

I'VE NEVER HAD A FINANCIAL DEFICIT.

THAT'S UNHEARD OF IN BUSINESS AS WELL AS MINISTRY.

WHY? DIDN'T BELIEVE FOR IT.

NEITHER DID JESUS.

IF YOU STUDY JESUS' LIFE, HE NEVER HAD A

FINANCIAL DEFICIT.

WHY? HE DIDN'T BELIEVE FOR IT.

THIS BOOK HERE, GIVE GOD A JOB.

IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?

NO. THEN GIVE HIM A JOB.

THAT'S BACK THERE.

THEN FINALLY THIS HERE.

I'M THE FIRST PENTECOSTAL CHARISMATIC PREACHER

TO CROSS OVER INTO THE SECULAR WORLD.

THIS BOOK BECAME NUMBER THREE IN THE NATION.

IT'S CALLED HEAVEN, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE GOD KIND.

I'M DOING A HEAVEN TOUR.

I JUST FINISHED ONE FRIDAY NIGHT IN COLORADO SPRINGS

WHERE I TALK ABOUT I WENT TO HEAVEN IN 1988.

I DIDN'T HAVE A VISION.

I GOT SUCKED OUT THE ROOM.

PEOPLE SAY, "I DON'T BELIEVE THAT."

I DON'T CARE.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I DON'T MEAN THAT TO BE RUDE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE NOTHING.

YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

BUT THIS THING, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

AND THE IRS CAME TO ME AND SAID, "DO YOU KNOW IF YOU'D

HAVE TAKEN THIS MONEY?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU'D HAVE?"

I SAID, "YEAH, IF I'D HAVE TOOK IT, YOU'D GET 50%,

YOU KNOW, 39.9 PLUS STATE AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

BUT IF I GIVE IT TO GOD, YOU DON'T GET NOTHING."

EXCUSE ME, I'M FROM LOUISIANA.

I'M LEAVING AFTER SERVICE.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D SAY.

THIS IS BACK THERE, AVENGE YOURSELF THROUGH THE BOOK AND

RESOURCE TABLE IF YOU SO DESIRE.

STAND ON YOUR FEET ONE MORE TIME.

STRETCH A LITTLE BIT.

IF YOU'VE GOT TO RUB SOMETHING, RUB IT QUICK, GET IT OVER WITH.

OKAY, YOU CAN BE SEATED.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

I WANT TO PREACH MY THEME.

I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING TODAY.

WE FLEW IN EARLY THIS MORNING IN OMAHA, AND I THOUGHT

MY PILOTS WERE GOING WRONG.

THEY SAID, "WE'RE GOING TO COUNCIL BLUFF."

I SAID, "NO, NO, NO.

I AIN'T GOING TO COUNCIL BLUFF.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COUNCIL BLUFF IS."

I SAID, "I WANT TO GO TO OMAHA.

IT SAYS IT'S ACROSS THE RIVER."

OH, OKAY.

PRAISE GOD.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

I LEARNED A LOT OF THINGS EVERY TIME I GET AROUND HANK.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I FINALLY KNOW WHERE I'M AT.

THANK YOU, JESUS.

PRAISE THE LORD.

IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR BIBLES, YOUR IPADS, OR YOUR TELEPHONES,

WHATEVER YOU USE FOR SCRIPTURE, OR FOR YOUR BIBLE,

TURN WITH ME TO THE BOOK OF ROMANS CHAPTER FOUR,

A VERY FAMILIAR SCRIPTURE.

AS YOU TURN TO THE ROMANS CHAPTER FOUR,

GOD GIVES ME THEMES EVERY YEAR, AND YOU DON'T HAVE

TO AT THIS TIME.

I SAY, "LORD, YOU DON'T WANNA GIVE ME A THEME.

"I'LL JUST PREACH AS YOU DIRECT ME,"

AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

AND THE LORD GAVE ME THIS THEME, ONLY SAY WHAT FAITH SAYS.

USE YOUR FAITH VOICE.

SO YOU GOT A FAITH VOICE.

YOU GOT A CURSING VOICE.

YOU GOT A DOUBT VOICE, AN ARGUMENT VOICE.

WHY CAN'T YOU USE YOUR FAITH VOICE?

EVERYONE HAS IT.

AND IT'LL COME TO PASS.

WELL, MAYBE, NO, NO, AIN'T NO MAYBE ABOUT IT.

AND I'M GONNA PROVE THAT IN THIS LITTLE SERMON.

I'M GONNA PREACH THIS IN ROMANS CHAPTER FOUR, VERSE 17.

EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

I LIKE THE OLD KING JAMES VERSION.

IT SAYS, "AS IT IS WRITTEN, "I HAVE MADE THEE A

FATHER OF MANY NATIONS "BEFORE WHOM HE

BELIEVED," PAST TENSE, "EVEN GOD, WHO

QUICKENED THE DEAD "AND CALLED THOSE THINGS WHICH

BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE."

I ADD A LITTLE BIT TO IT, UNTIL THEY ARE.

SEE, SO THAT'S ABRAHAM'S FAITH VOICE.

SEE, HE'S CALLING THOSE THINGS WOULD BE NOT

AS THOUGH THEY WERE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT GOD DID.

NOW I WANT TO MAKE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT,

I'M GONNA SHOCK YOU BY THIS.

THERE'S NO PROOF IN THE BIBLE THAT GOD EXISTS.

NONE, HE WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY PROOF.

THE BIBLE SAID THAT HIS WORKS DECLARE WHO HE IS,

BUT HE WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING.

IT SAYS THIS, "IN THE BEGINNING, GOD."

THAT'S ALL YOU GONNA GET, JACK.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

IN THE BEGINNING GOD.

MOSES SAID, "WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"

HE SAID, "I AM."

"I AM WHAT?"

"I AM THAT I AM."

BUT THAT'S IT, YEAH, NOW GET YOUR BUTT UP AND GO TO PHARAOH.

JUST THAT SIMPLE.

YOU JUST GOTTA BELIEVE HE IS BECAUSE HE'S A FAITH GOD.

THAT'S WHY THE SCIENTISTS CANNOT UNDERSTAND

THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING

FOR SOME KIND OF PROOF.

PROOF IS NOT, HE WILL NOT GIVE YOU PROOF.

HE'S A FAITH GOD.

YOU JUST BELIEVE IT OR YOU DON'T.

I WANTED TO JUST PUT THAT IN THERE.

SO I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND CALLING THOSE THINGS WOULD BE

NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE TILL THEY ARE.

I'VE HAD MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO FAIL.

I JUST DON'T TAKE ANY.

I MEAN, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A PREACHER THAT SAYS, "WHEN PEOPLE

LOVE ME, THEY REALLY LOVE ME.

BUT WHEN THEY HATE ME, THEY REALLY HATE ME."

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DON'T CARE IF YOU HATE ME.

I'VE BEEN DOWN IN THREE AIRPLANE CRASHES.

THAT'LL MAKE A BAPTIST SPEAK IN TONGUES.

THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT MY OWN PLANE.

NOW DON'T GET MAD IF I GOT A PLANE.

I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HERE THIS MORNING

IF I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD IT.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID?

IS IT A NICE PLANE?

IS IT?

ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, ONE STOP.

PAID FOR CASH.

I DIDN'T USE YOUR MONEY.

OKAY, LET ME GO OVER THIS SIDE.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?

I MEAN, THEY SHOT AT, THEY TRIED TO ELECTROCUTE ME TWICE.

THIS IS ALL IN 50 YEARS OF MINISTRY.

THEY'RE ALL IN JAIL AND I'M STILL HERE.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

THEY'RE IN JAIL.

THAT'S ATTEMPTED MURDER.

YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT THING.

ONE TIME AT THE BELIEVERS' CONVENTION,

I DIDN'T KNOW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON BEHIND ME,

AND MAN, I HEARD, "PAP, PAP, PAP."

AND THEN SOMEBODY, I MEAN, AND THEY HAD A GUY HAD A

.357 MAGNUM PISTOL ON ME.

YEAH, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I JUST KEPT APPRECIATING IT.

I FOUND OUT AFTER THE SERVICE, AND BOY, I MEAN, THE FORT

WORTH POLICE OR WHATEVER, THE SECURITY, THEY

TACKLED THAT GUY.

BROTHER COPELAND'S PEOPLE TACKLED HIM,

PUT HIM ON THE GROUND, SON, AND EVERYTHING.

AND I DIDN'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

AND HE SAID, "EVERYBODY SEEMS TO KNOW HIM,

"AND NOBODY KNOWS ME, SO I THOUGHT IF I'D KILL HIM,

"MAYBE SOMEBODY MIGHT KNOW ME."

YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S STUPID?

THAT'S THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO JOHN LENNON.

GUY SAID, "I'M GONNA KILL JOHN LENNON

"SO SOMEBODY KNOW ME."

HOW STUPID THAT IS.

AND WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU USE YOUR FAITH VOICE,

YOU DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENS IN LIFE.

SO I'M GONNA DO A LITTLE TEACHING.

I COULD PREACH IT, BUT I'M GONNA DO A LITTLE TEACHING

IF I CAN.

SO WRITE THIS DOWN IF YOU'RE TAKING NOTES.

YOUR FAITH VOICE DOESN'T LIVE IN THE POSSIBLE.

IT DOES NOT LIVE IN THE POSSIBLE.

IT SPEAKS AND LIVES IN THE IMPOSSIBLE,

DOES THE IMPOSSIBLE, AND THRIVES IN THE IMPOSSIBLE.

THAT'S YOUR FAITH VOICE.

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN.

YOUR FAITH VOICE DOESN'T LIVE IN THE POSSIBLE.

IT SPEAKS AND LIVES IN THE IMPOSSIBLE.

I LOVE THAT.

DOES THE IMPOSSIBLE AND THRIVES IN THE IMPOSSIBLE

IN EVERY WHICH WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

AND GOD, IT DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS.

I'VE BEEN PREACHING 50 YEARS AND I'VE NEVER CHARGED

THE CHURCH ONE DIME.

AND NOTHING WRONG WITH PAYING PEOPLE'S EXPENSES.

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THAT.

PEOPLE COME AND MINISTER FOR MY WIFE,

SHE'S THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH.

MY WIFE'S THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH.

I'M SORRY, BAPTIST, SHE'S THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA SAY ABOUT IT.

BECAUSE SEE, THERE'S NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK,

NO BOND NOR FREE, NO MALE NOR FEMALE.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

I KNOW WHAT PAUL SAID, BUT THAT'S HOMILETICAL,

HERMENEUTICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, THEOLOGICAL.

YOU WANNA DEBATE, WE CAN DEBATE.

I PREFER TO HAVE A DISCUSSION.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D TALK TO THE BAPTIST FOR A MINUTE.

I JUST SET YOU FREE, LADIES.

SHOUT.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

NOW I KNOW ALL OF YOU, YOU WANT TO DEBATE ME,

YOU WANT TO, I MEAN I GOT THREE DEGREES,

I MEAN ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT THAT DON'T MEAN

NOTHING TO GOD.

YOU SEE, THIS FAITH VOICE, OOH LORD,

DOESN'T LIVE IN THE POSSIBLE, IT SPEAKS AND LIVES

IN THE IMPOSSIBLE, DOES THE IMPOSSIBLE, AND

THRIVES IN THE IMPOSSIBLE, IN EVERY WHICH WAY,

SHAPE, OR FORM.

SEE, YOUR FAITH VOICE ISN'T LED BY TIME.

WRITE THAT DOWN.

SEE, THE REASON WHY SO MANY PEOPLE MESS UP,

BECAUSE THAT'S THE BIGGEST WEAPON SATAN HAS.

NOT AN ABUNDANCE OF UNBELIEF, OR A LACK OF FAITH,

EVEN THOUGH THAT CAN HAPPEN, IT'S TIME.

HE SAID, "IF I CAN DELAY THIS, THEY'LL QUIT BELIEVING THIS.

THEY'LL WALK AWAY FROM IT."

AND THE BIBLE SAYS, "BE NOT WEARY IN WELL DOING,

"FOR IN DUE SEASON YOU REAP IF YOU FAINT NOT."

TIME. NOW WHY WOULD YOU

WORRY ABOUT TIME WHEN YOU ARE A TIMELESS BEING?

YOU'VE BEEN CREATED TIMELESS.

IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, SEE?

YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE.

SEE, YOUR FAITH VOICE DOESN'T LISTEN, ISN'T LED BY TIME.

FAITH IS A LISTENER.

AND THEN IT SAYS WHAT GOD SAYS.

DON'T NEVER SAY, "WELL, WHEN THE LORD GET READY."

GET READY?

HE'D BEEN READY BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.

HE'S READY BEFORE THIS PLANET WAS EVER CREATED.

BUT WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT?

ALL YOU'RE DOING IS PUTTING YOUR ANSWER INTO THE FUTURE

WHEN YOU WANT IT IN THE NOW.

FAITH CAN CREATE A FUTURE, BUT IT WAS MADE FOR THE NOW.

NOW FAITH IS, HOW MANY OF YOU GIRLS WANNA,

WHEN DO YOU WANNA LOUIS VUITTON PURSE, NEXT WEEK OR NOW?

YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

WELL, THAT'S GREED, NO, THAT'S A BLESSING.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, GOD DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT.

CHURCH WORLD DOES, SECULAR WORLD DOES.

GOD SAID, ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.

SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND.

HE SAYS, ASK ANYTHING, OH LORD, WHAT DOES ANYTHING MEAN

TO YOU PEOPLE HERE IN OMAHA?

ANYTHING. IS THAT RIGHT?

SO FAITH, THE FAITH VOICE ISN'T LED BY TIME.

IT'S A LISTENER, AND THEN HE SAYS ONLY WHAT GOD SAYS.

THAT'S WHAT MADE JESUS SO POPULAR.

HE ALWAYS PRODUCED SAINT JOHN 12, I BELIEVE,

VERSE 49 AND 50, HE SAID, I ONLY SAY WHAT MY FATHER SAYS,

AND ONLY DO WHAT MY FATHER SAYS TO DO.

THAT'S IT, THAT'S WHAT I DO IN MY WHOLE LIFE,

IN ALL MY MINISTRY, I JUST SAY WHAT HE SAYS.

AND WHEN YOU GET CRITICIZED, I JUST SMILE.

IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE BECAUSE GOD'S WORD IS REAL.

NOW, WHAT I'M GONNA SAY THIS, YOU BETTER WRITE THIS DOWN,

YOUR FAITH VOICE NOT ONLY MAKES THINGS POSSIBLE,

IT MAKES THINGS INEVITABLE.

IT'S GONNA COME TO PASS.

THERE'S NO OTHER CHOICE IF YOU JUST DON'T QUIT.

IT DOESN'T MAKE THINGS, NOT ONLY DOES IT MAKE IT POSSIBLE,

IT MAKES IT INEVITABLE, IN EVERY WHICH WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL,

FINANCIAL, OR ALL THREE.

GOD SAYS, IF YOU JUST BELIEVE ME.

NOW, HOW DO I KNOW THAT?

BECAUSE OF HEBREWS CHAPTER 11.

Hebrews 11 · chapter mention

HE SAYS, NOW FAITH IS.

CHURCH DON'T PREACH THAT.

THEY PREACH, IS FAITH NOW?

NO, NOW FAITH IS.

AND RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A REPORT BEING MADE ON YOU,

EVEN AS I SPEAK, FOR BY IT, THE ELDERS OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT.

THERE'S A REPORT BEING MADE ON YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA STAND BEFORE GOD.

SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?

PEOPLE SAY, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

IT DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

YOU KNOW, I WAS TELLING PASTOR HANK A WHILE AGO,

I SAID, YOU KNOW, I HAD A GUY TELL ME,

HE SAID, I DON'T BELIEVE IN HEALING.

I SAID, YOU AIN'T GOT SICK ENOUGH YET.

I SAID, YOU AIN'T HAD A DOCTOR STICK A FINGER IN YOUR FACE

AND SAY YOU GOT PANCREATIC CANCER TWO MONTHS AT THE MOST.

ALL OF US, SOMEBODY LIKE ME OR PASTOR HANK OR BRENDA,

WE BECOME VERY POPULAR TO YOU.

WHY? BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN HEALING.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN HEALING AND WHAT I CALL GETTING OLD.

I HAD A LADY COME UP TO ME ONE TIME,

NOT TOO LONG, I'D SAY ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO.

SHE WAS 79 THEN.

SHE SAID, "BROTHER JESS, I'M A WOMAN OF FAITH."

SHE SAID, "I BELIEVE IN HEALING."

I SAID, "GLORY TO GOD, GIRL.

COME ON, SHOUT IT TO ME."

I GET EXCITED WHEN PEOPLE TALK ALL THAT.

SHE SAID, "BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING, BROTHER,

JESSE, THIS KNEE OF MINE, I'VE BEEN PRAYING AND BELIEVING

AND BELIEVING, AND IT JUST HURTS.

I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET MY HEALING."

AND I COULD TELL SHE'S GETTING A LITTLE DEPRESSED OVER THAT.

I SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW WHY YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR HEALING?"

SHE SAID, "NO."

I SAID, "YOUR KNEE AIN'T SICK.

IT JUST WORE OUT.

GET A NEW ONE."

SHE GOES, "I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT."

I SAID, "WELL, THINK OF IT, JUST GET A NEW ONE."

WELL, NOW, MAN, WE CAN SWITCH PARTS NOW, MAN.

THIS STUFF IS GREAT.

I SAW HER SIX MONTHS LATER AT THE MALL, WALKING ALL OVER.

SHE'S NOW 84.

SHE SAID, "MY GOD, MAN, I CAN WALK."

I SAID, "YEAH, YEAH, YOU JUST GO OUT, GET A NEW ONE."

THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME, NOT MY KNEES.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE NOT TOO LONG AGO, AND I'M DRIVING,

AND I HAPPENED TO WATCH MY EYE.

I DID THIS AND I LOOKED, I THOUGHT,

THAT'S A LITTLE FUZZY LOOKING.

THAT'S A LITTLE FUZZY, BUT NOT MUCH.

NEVER THINKING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

NONE. MAN, I THOUGHT, WHAT IS THIS?

AND I'VE NEVER BEEN TO DOCTORS.

I LIKE DOCTORS, BUT I DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY DO.

THEY GOT THE SPIRIT OF NECKINESS ON THEM.

I MEAN, YOU GO DOWN THERE, DOC, MY THROAT HURTS.

TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF.

NO, NO, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE MY PANTS OFF.

DOC, IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE.

NOW, YOU LADIES, YOU LADIES OUGHT TO KNOW THAT

'CAUSE THEY'LL STRIP YOU DOWN.

IF YOU A WOMAN, THEY'RE GONNA STRIP YOU DOWN, BOY.

WELL, KATHY SAYS, "IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU GO TO A DOCTOR."

I'M GONNA BE 77 IN A FEW DAYS.

SHE SAID, "I'VE NEVER BEEN TO AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST.

"I HAVEN'T DONE NOTHING."

NO, I SAID, "OKAY," SO I GO.

AND SO I HAD TO SEE THIS OTHER LADY FIRST, YOU KNOW?

THEY WANT MONEY, YOU KNOW?

THEY HIT YOU TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT PLACES.

YOU SEE THE BIG GUY, YOU KNOW, OR THE BIG WOMAN,

WHATEVER, WHOEVER SHE IS.

AND SHE SAYS, "SIR, YOU HAVE A CATARACT."

I SAID, "I HAVE A WHAT?"

SHE SAID, "IN THIS EYE."

I SAID, "YEAH, I NOTICED.

THAT'S A LITTLE FUZZY."

SHE SAID, "AND YOU GOT ONE OVER HERE, TOO."

I SAID, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME."

SHE SAID, "NO."

I SAID, "LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

IS THAT NORMAL?"

SHE SAID, "IT'S VERY NORMAL, A PERSON YOUR AGE."

SHE SAID, "BUT WE CAN FIX THAT."

I SAID, "YOU CAN'T."

I SAID, "I DON'T GO TO DOCTORS MUCH.

I LOVE DOCTORS.

I BELIEVE IN MEDICINES.

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME.

I JUST NEVER HAD NEEDED."

WELL, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THE BIG GUY.

NOW WATCH THIS.

I WAS RAISED WITH SICILIANS.

YOU DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

I WAS RAISED WITH A LOCAL SINATRA.

I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM AN OFFER AND HE AIN'T GOING TO REFUSE IT.

WELL, HE GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT AT 8:30, EXCUSE ME, 9:30.

WELL, HIS OFFICE CALLED AND SAID THIS.

CALL ME DR. PLANTS.

DR. PLANTS, CAN WE MOVE YOUR APPOINTMENT TO 2:30?

I SAID, OH, YOU WANT ME TO DO YOU A FAVOR?

[LAUGHTER]

MY TIME IS JUST AS VALUABLE AS THEIRS, MAYBE MORE.

I SAID, SURE, NO PROBLEM.

SO I'D ASKED THE LADY, I SAID, NOW LOOK, SHE SAID--

I SAID, I WANT HIM TO DO BOTH EYES AT THE SAME TIME.

HE NEVER DOES BOTH EYES AT THE SAME TIME.

I PROBABLY SHOULD QUIT TALKING ABOUT THIS,

BUT THIS JUST HAPPENED.

I SAID, I'M GONNA MAKE HIM AN OFFER HE CAN'T REFUSE.

SHE SAID, WELL, HE'S NEVER DONE IT.

I SAID, OKAY.

SO I WALKED IN, I SAT DOWN, HE COMES IN, HE GOES,

HOW YOU DOING, I SEE YOU ON TELEVISION.

I SAID, WELL, THANK YOU.

HOW YOU DOING, NICE TO MEET YOU AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

TALK TO ME, HE SAID, WELL, LET'S LOOK AT THIS THERE.

I SAID, DOC, I WAS SUPPOSED TO SEE YOU TODAY AT 9:30.

BUT THEY MOVED IT TO 2:30, BECAUSE YOU NEEDED THAT, RIGHT?

HE SAID, YEAH, SO I DID YOU A FAVOR.

[LAUGHTER]

HE SAID, WELL, YES, SIR, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

I SAID, NO, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU AN OFFER YOU DON'T REFUSE.

I WANT YOU TO DO BOTH HOURS AT THE SAME TIME.

I SAID, YOU UNDERSTAND?

HE GOES, OK.

KATHY SAID, YOU JUST MOVED PEOPLE.

NOW, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS IN DECEMBER.

I SAID, I WANT TO DO IT MONDAY.

THIS IS THURSDAY.

HE GOES, I SAID, WE GOT A DEAL YET?

HE GOES, OK.

I HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME.

I MEAN, SO I SHOWED UP, MAN.

I'M ALL READY TO GO AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

I SAID, "DOES IT HURT?"

HE SAID, "NO, IT DON'T HURT."

HE SAID, "BUT YOU KNOW," HE SAID, "SIR, I'M THERE."

I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T TELL YOU THAT KATH, I ALMOST SAID,

"DON'T TELL KATH I SAID THIS."

I WENT IN, THEY TOLD ME, THEY SAID, "NOW, THEY MAY HAVE

YOU PUT A GOWN ON OR A SHIRT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF."

I SAID, "OKAY, WHATEVER, BUT WEAR SOMETHING

REAL, REAL CASUAL."

SO I THOUGHT, "WELL, I'M GOING TO PUT MY RUNNING

SHORTS ON NOW," ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, PRETTY

NICE LOOKING.

SO ANYWAY, I WALK IN THERE AND THEY SAY, "TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF."

I SAID, "OH, OKAY."

THEY PUT THIS GOWN THING ON ME.

AND SHE SAID, "I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR SHORTS OFF."

I SAID, "I DON'T HAVE NO UNDERWEAR ON."

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT UNDERWEAR ON WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING SHORTS.

SHE SAID, "WELL, KEEP YOUR PANTS ON."

I SAID, "OKAY."

THIS JUST HAPPENED.

I CAN SEE ALL OF Y'ALL.

THIS IS AMAZING.

DON'T MOVE.

I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.

NOW WATCH THIS.

I'M JUST TAKING A LITTLE TIME.

SO THEY GAVE, AND I GOT REAL BIG VEINS, YOU KNOW, REAL BIG

VEINS IN HERE, YOU KNOW, SO I'M EASY TO GET

A SHOT, YOU KNOW.

THEY SAID, "NOW WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A DRUG."

SHE SAID, "YOU PROBABLY WON'T REMEMBER NOTHING."

I SAID, "SWEETHEART, THAT AIN'T ENOUGH DRUG TO

MAKE ME NOT REMEMBER."

BEFORE I WAS BORN AGAIN, I TOOK DRUGS AND, WHEW,

NEVER LEFT MY HOUSE.

DOO, DOO, JUST COME BACK.

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, MAN.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST TALKING TO THEM WHILE THEY'RE DOING

ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF.

IT WAS GREAT.

WELL, HE PUT THIS THING OVER MY EYES AND EVERYTHING.

SO HE SAID, "NOW, YOU READY TO SEE?"

HE SAID, "YOU PROBABLY WON'T NEED GLASSES."

AND I SAID, "OH, OKAY."

I ALWAYS HAD TO HAVE READING GLASSES.

YOU SEE ME PUT THEM ON ALL THE TIME?

I LOOKED UP AND MY GOD, THE COLORS WERE SO BRILLIANT.

I THOUGHT, "MAN, LOOK AT THIS."

AND NOW THEY GAVE ME 20, 20, AND 20, 15.

I'M 17 YEARS OLD AGAIN.

I SAID, "DOC, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PARTS WE CAN CHANGE?"

I LIKE THIS PARTS STUFF.

HE SAID, "WELL," HE SAID, "NOW," HE SAID, "THIS," I SAID,

"LISTEN, MONEY IS NO OPTION."

AND THEN I WAS DEALING WITH MONEY.

HE SAID, "YOU CAN GIVE ME A RED LENS."

I SAID, "WHAT'S THE BEST LENSES, DOC?"

I SAID, "NOW, IF YOU DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE

THOSE, I WON'T TAKE THEM.

IF YOU WANT, WHATEVER YOU WANT."

HE SAID, "WELL, WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT?"

I SAID, "WELL, YOU TELL ME.

I CAME FOR YOU TO TELL ME."

SO HE GAVE ME THESE TRIFOCALS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

I SAID, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE INSURANCE.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

JUST DO THIS THING."

AND I WANT TO TELL YOU, THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING.

I TOLD KATHY THE OTHER DAY, I SAID, "I SEE THINGS IN YOU

I AIN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME."

SHE SAID, "SHUT UP."

WHAT HE TOLD ME WAS, AND I PUT IT TO THIS THEME,

HE SAID, "YOU'RE GOING TO SEE PHENOMENALLY."

SEE IT WASN'T ACCIDENTAL, IT WAS INEVITABLE.

YOUR FAITH VOICE DOES NOT ONLY MAKE THINGS POSSIBLE,

IT MAKES THINGS INEVITABLE.

WHY? WRITE THIS DOWN.

A FAITH VOICE ALWAYS HAS CREATIVE POWER,

CREATIVE POWER IN IT.

IT MAKES YOU A POSSESSOR.

AREN'T YOU TIRED OF CONFESSING?

NOW, I BELIEVE IN CONFESSION.

YOU HEAR PEOPLE ALL THE TIME SAYING, "I DON'T

BELIEVE IT, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, I DON'T BELIEVE

IT, I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, I DON'T BELIEVE

IT, I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

I THINK I'M BELIEVING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

I'M JUST TRYING TO GET THIS THING TO WORK."

PAUL SAID, "I KNOW."

I QUIT BELIEVING YEARS AGO.

NOW I KNOW IN WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED.

WHEN YOU KNOW SOMETHING, YOU ACT ON IT.

WHEN YOU'RE BELIEVING, YOU HESITATE SOMETIMES.

WHEN YOU KNOW, I NEVER FORGET, YOU KNOW, AND KATHY,

YOU KNOW, I TOLD HER SHE CAN HAVE ANYTHING SHE WANTS

AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

AND WHEN THE COVID HIT, I THOUGHT, MY GOD, MAN,

(LAUGHS)

I'M GOING, I'M GONNA SAVE SOME MONEY.

AND THE MALLS ARE SHUT DOWN, PRAISE GOD.

BUT KATHY FOUND SOMETHING ELSE CALLED ONLINE SHOPPING.

YOU THINK THEY WORRIED ABOUT COVID?

THEY WERE AT MY HOUSE ALMOST EVERY DAY,

JUST BRINGING STUFF IN.

SOMETIMES I TRY TO GO,

SO I CAN RUN THEM AWAY.

BUT THEY DIDN'T CARE, 'CAUSE SHE JUST

DID WHAT SHE DID.

NOW, SHE'S SUCH A BLESSING.

AND MY DAUGHTER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

SHE'S GONNA BE 55 IN OCTOBER.

AND JOE, I ONLY HAVE ONE DAUGHTER, ONE GRANDDAUGHTER.

AND JODY SAID, "DAD, CAN YOU BELIEVE

YOU GOT A DAUGHTER 50, GONNA BE 55 YEARS OLD?"

I SAID, "YEAH, I WAS THERE WHEN YOU WAS BORN.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I GOT YOU OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, YOUR MAMA WAS ON DRUGS, BOY.

SOMETHING STONED OUT OF HER MIND,

(IMITATES CAR ENGINE ROARING)

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO GET SOME OF THEM DRUGS,

THEY WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME."

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I'VE NEVER TOLD HER NO.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S 18, I'VE NEVER TOLD HER NO.

I GOT A HARD TIME SAYING NO.

KATHY SAYS NO ALL THE TIME.

'CAUSE I ALWAYS LET HER DO THE HEAVY.

I SAID, "I AIN'T MESSING."

AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A

HARD TIME BELIEVING.

IN ALL MY YEARS OF MINISTRY, GOD HAS NEVER TOLD

ME NO, NOT ONE TIME.

BUT YOU SEE, I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CHURCH,

SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO UNLEARN SOME THINGS.

SO WHEN I FIRST READ THE BIBLE, I WENT,

"BOY, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID."

YOU SEE, DON'T GO TO GOD AS AN ADULT.

ADULTS ARE ARGUMENTATIVE.

GO AS A CHILD.

EPHESIANS 5 VERSE 1, "BE YE THEREFORE IMITATORS

Ephesians 5:1

OF GOD AS DEAR CHILDREN, NOT CHILDISH, CHILDLIKE.

AND CHILDREN ARE BORN BELIEVERS

UNTIL YOU TEACH THEM THE DOUBT."

SO DON'T DO THAT.

YOU GO TODAY AND TELL YOUR KIDS, YOU IN OMAHA.

THINK THAT'S HOW YOU SAY IT.

I'M GONNA TAKE YOU TO FLORIDA, AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE

YOU TO DISNEY WORLD.

THEY START SCREAMING, THEY'LL RUN DOWN THE STREET

TELLING EVERYBODY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD,

AND NO EVIDENCE TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE GOING.

BUT THEY BELIEVE YOU ARE, I AM.

YOU ARE, I AM THAT I AM TO THEM.

THAT'S WHY THEY COME TO YOUR HOUSE,

BRING THEIR FRIENDS AND THEY EAT ALL YOUR GROCERIES.

THEY OPEN UP THE REFRIGERATOR, GET ANYTHING THEY WANT,

ESPECIALLY GRANDKIDS AND GRANDKIDS.

IT DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S NOT

THEIR JOB TO FILL IT.

THAT'S YOUR JOB.

THEY JUST EAT IT.

TO YOU, I AM THAT I AM.

TO JODI AND MEREDITH, I AM THAT I AM.

AND IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

THEY JUST, BOY, AND SHE'LL TELL YOU TODAY.

SHE SAID, "MY DAD TELL YOU SOMETHING,

"YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK, SON.

"HE GONNA DO WHAT HE SAID, YOU BETTER KNOW IT."

MY WORD'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN I MADE 39 YEARS OLD,

I WAS IN HONOLULU, HAWAII.

I'VE BEEN TO HAWAII 118 TIMES.

JESUS, MAN.

AND KATHY LIKED HAWAII, YOU KNOW, BUT I PREACHED.

SHE SAID, "CAN'T YOU EVER GO SOMEWHERE WITHOUT PREACHING?"

NO. I BRING GOD WITH

ME ALL THE TIME.

IT'S JUST SUCH A BLESSING.

I ENJOY THE GOSPEL.

SO I MADE 30 NIGHTS, I CALLED JODI, AND SHE WAS 14.

I SAID, JODI, ME AND YOUR MOM, WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOU TO HAWAII.

WE'RE ALL GOING TO HAWAII.

WOW, SHE WENT TO SCREAMING.

I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT'S A BLESSING.

SHE SAID, DAD, CAN I BRING AMY?

AMY'S A LITTLE 14 YEAR OLD FRIEND.

I SAID, JODI, THIS IS NOT LIKE GOING TO, YOU KNOW,

GOING TO DESTIN BEACH OR PENSACOLA.

THIS IS GOING TO HAWAII.

I GOTTA GET BIG TICKETS, I GOTTA GET A ROOM.

THAT, THAT, CAN I BRING AMY?

I GO, YEAH, YOU CAN BRING AMY.

THAT DIDN'T BOTHER JODY.

I AM THAT I AM, SAID IT.

I HEARD HER GET ON THE PHONE AND CALL AMY.

AMY, GUESS WHAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAWAII

AND DADDY SAID YOU CAN COME TOO.

I HEARD AMY GO, WOO!

THEN I HEARD JODY SAID, LISTEN, DON'T BRING NO CLOTHES,

DADDY GONNA BUY YOU A WHOLE NEW WARDROBE.

DON'T BRING ANY MONEY, HE GONNA GIVE YOU ALL THE MONEY

YOU CAN SPEND.

ANYTHING YOU WANT, YOU CAN HAVE IT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I HEARD DAVID GO, "WOO!"

AND HIS MAMA SAID, "CAN I GO?"

NO, YOU CAN'T GO, I DON'T WANT YOU THERE.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

AND I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW WARDROBE.

GIVE HIM ALL THE MONEY THEY CAN SPEND.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH STUFF.

WHY? I AM THAT I AM.

SHE STILL BELIEVES THAT.

WELL, I STILL BELIEVE THAT HE'S I AM THAT I AM.

AND I ALWAYS WILL.

BECAUSE HIS WORD DOESN'T RETURN VOID.

SO WRITE THIS DOWN.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY A FAITH VOICE ALWAYS HAS

CREATIVE POWER IN IT.

SEE, YOUR FAITH VOICE HAS VAST SUMS OF ENERGY

TO BE USED WHEN IT'S CALLED UPON.

I'LL NEVER FORGET WE WERE TALKING TO HANK

A COUPLE YEARS AGO, THREE YEARS AGO,

WHATEVER IT WAS.

AND I REMEMBER I WAS SAYING THIS.

KATHY USED TO GET MAD AT ME.

SHE SAID, "YOU NEVER ASK GOD FOR A NEED."

I HADN'T ASKED GOD FOR A NEED PROBABLY IN 45 YEARS.

WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A DUMB THING?

WHEN THE BIBLE SAID HE WOULD SUPPLY HOW MANY NEED?

ALL.

HOW MANY?

ALL.

HOW MANY?

ALL.

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR A NEED FOR?

AND I SAID THIS WHEN I WAS HERE BEFORE.

TELL HIM WHAT YOU WANT.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT, YOU DESTROY ALL YOUR NEED.

WHEN YOU HAVE WHAT YOU WANT, YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT NEED.

THAT'S GREED.

NO, THAT'S GROWTH.

THAT'S THE BIBLE.

THE LORD'S MY SHEPHERD.

I SHALL NOT.

WHEN WE GOING TO BELIEVE THIS?

MOST OF US ARE CONFESSING IT.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO POSSESS IT?

WHEN WE GOING TO BELIEVE THIS?

I JUST MADE IT MY MIND.

I'M GOING TO BELIEVE THAT.

WHEN I BOUGHT THAT NEW PLANE, I DON'T PAY RETAIL OR NOTHING.

I SERVE A JEWISH GOD.

YOU DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

I'M GOING TO CUT A DEAL.

YEAH. WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND IT, THIS FAITH VOICE

HAS VAST SUMS OF ENERGY IN IT.

AND WHEN IT'S CALLED UPON, SEE YOUR FAITH VOICE ALWAYS BRINGS A

MESSAGE OF GOD IN IT.

THAT'S ISAIAH 65, 24.

TURN TO ISAIAH 65, 24, IF YOU LIKE.

HE SAID, "BEFORE YOU CALL," THAT

MEANS ASK, "I WILL ANSWER.

AND WHILE YOU'RE YET SPEAKING, I WILL HEAR."

THAT'S ISAIAH 65, 24.

BEFORE YOU CALL, THE WORD CALL THERE

MEANS ASK.

SO I DON'T NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ANYTHING.

WHY SHOULD I BE?

I JUST MADE UP MY MIND.

ISAIAH 65, THAT'S 66, SIR.

ISAIAH 65, NOT 66.

THERE YOU GO.

IT SHALL COME TO PASS THAT BEFORE THEY

CALL, THE WORD CALL THERE MEANS ASK.

I WILL ANSWER, AND WHILE THEY ARE YET

SPEAKING, I WILL HEAR.

YOU SEE, I BELIEVE THAT, LADIES

AND GENTLEMEN, LIKE I BELIEVE JOHN 3, 16.

I DON'T HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ANY OF THAT.

SO I JUST DO MY JOB.

GOD GAVE ME A JOB AND JOHN HAGEE TAGGED

ME WITH A NAME PROBABLY 35 YEARS AGO.

HE CALLED ME THE APOSTLE OF JOY.

WELL, I TRIED SAD AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT.

I TRIED SICK AND THAT HURT.

I TRIED BROKE.

THAT'S STUPID.

I SAID, WAIT A MINUTE.

I'M GOING TO LIVE THE WAY HE SAID I COULD.

WELL, HOW DID HE TELL YOU TO LIVE?

OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

THY KING TO COME, THY WILL BE DONE.

WHERE? WHERE?

WHERE? AS IT IS WHERE?

WHAT PART OF THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND?

WHAT PART OF THAT YOU DIDN'T GET?

HERE, DON'T GET MAD AT ME.

I'M BLESSED.

IT AIN'T MY FAULT.

IT'S THE ANOINTING OF INCREASES ON ME.

OH, OH, MAN.

DO I HAVE ANY PARTNERS HERE?

THANK YOU FOR BEING A BLESSING.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU GET BLESSED.

IT'S ON ME, MAN.

I MEAN, EVEN BROTHER COLTON SAID, "JESSE, RUB MY HEAD."

IT'S ON ME, BABY.

I GOTTA WATCH WHAT I SAY.

I GET IT.

I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS.

AND I GOT PEOPLE MAD AT ME OVER PROSPERITY.

AND I VERY SELDOM EVER PREACH ON PROSPERITY.

I PREACH PROBABLY MORE ON FAITH THAN ANYTHING ELSE, HANK.

I JUST LIKE IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A PROPHETIC EDGE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE CALLED TO DO.

YOU SEE, AND I JUST BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS.

SEE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ONLY IMPOSSIBLE, IT'S INEVITABLE.

WHO DO YOU THANK YOU ALL?

EVERYTHING GOD SAID.

EVERYTHING, NOT SOMETHING.

NOT A SHOT IN THE DOG AT THE GOSPEL CASINO.

"OH, COME ON, JESUS.

"GIVE ME A SEVEN.

"OH, SNAKE EYES.

"LORD, THE WRONG ONE, THE WRONG ONE."

NO, NO, NO.

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

I'VE HAD ONE GUY PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD,

AND I JUST LOOKED AT HIM.

I SAID, "YOU GONNA PULL THE TRIGGER?

PULL THE TRIGGER!"

I SAID, "YOU AIN'T NO KILLER."

I SLAPPED HIM.

I SAID, "LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT A KILLER CAN DO."

OOH! I HEARD KATZ SAY,

"DON'T KILL IT, MAN!"

I SAID, "YOU BETTER THANK GOD I'M SAVED."

BECAUSE BEFORE I WAS SAVED, YOU DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

I WAS RAISED THAT WAY.

THAT AIN'T RIGHT, BUT I WAS RAISED THAT WAY.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?

IT'S CALLED NORMAL.

NO, IT AIN'T NORMAL.

IT'S MURDER.

IT'S TERRORISM.

IT'S WHAT IT IS.

BUT WHEN I GOT BORN AGAIN, I CHANGED.

THEY JUST BELIEVE THIS.

MY JOB IS JUST TO BELIEVE THIS.

AND THIS SHALL COME TO PASS.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE PHRASE IN THE BIBLE.

THAT BEFORE THEY ASK, I WILL ANSWER.

WHILE YOU'RE YET SPEAKING, I'M HEARING.

HOW DOES FAITH COME?

DOESN'T COME BY HEARD, DOES IT?

SEE, USING YOUR FAITH VOICE EXPLAINS WHAT REVELATION

KNOWLEDGE IS AND DOES.

SEE, FAITH DOESN'T USE EMPTY WORDS.

LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

GO WITH ME TO THE BOOK OF 2 KINGS CHAPTER 4.

2 Kings 4 · chapter mention

2 KINGS CHAPTER 4.

2 Kings 4 · chapter mention

EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THIS SHUMANITE WOMAN.

2 KINGS CHAPTER 4.

2 Kings 4 · chapter mention

LET ME SHOW YOU WHY YOU'RE TURNING TO 2 KINGS

2 Kings 4 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 4.

USING YOUR FAITH VOICE EXPLAINS WHAT REVELATION

KNOWLEDGE IS AND DOES.

FAITH DOESN'T USE EMPTY WORDS.

NOW THIS WOMAN HERE, SHE WANTS A

BABY. MOST WOMEN WANT A BABY.

THEY WANT CHILDREN.

THAT'S A BLESSING.

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME.

SO HERE COMES THE PROPHET.

NOW A WOMAN IS GOING TO GET IN YOUR FACE BECAUSE SHE'S GOING

TO TELL YOU WHAT SHE THINKS REAL QUICK.

HE SAID, "BY THE TIME I COME BACK HERE NEXT

YEAR, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY.

DON'T YOU LIE TO ME."

I AIN'T LYING TO YOU.

AND SURE ENOUGH, SHE HAD A

BOY. NOW SHE JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT BOY.

SHE SHOULD.

THAT'S HER SON.

RIGHT? WORD CAME TO PASS.

BUT THINGS HAPPEN IN LIFE.

YOU KNOW, LIFE THROWS YOU A CURVEBALL, BUT IF YOU

KNOW HOW TO HIT A CURVEBALL, YOU CAN MAKE A HOME RUN ON A

CURVEBALL. SAY, BUT YOU GOT TO

KNOW HOW TO HIT IT.

BECAUSE IT'S COMING.

OH, HE'S PLAYING ONE DAY, HE FALLS DOWN, HIS HEAD

HITS THE ROCK, HE DIES.

NOW THAT'S TOUGH.

NOW WATCH THIS SHUMANITE WOMAN, OLD TESTAMENT GIRL.

GO WITH ME TO 2 KINGS CHAPTER FOUR, VERSE 22,

IN THE MARITA OF THE KING JAMES.

AND SHE CALLED UNTO HER HUSBAND, WATCH HOW MANY PEOPLE

TRY TO STOP HER.

SHE CALLED UNTO HER HUSBAND, VERSE 22 OF 2 KINGS FOUR,

AND SAID, "SEND ME, I PRAY THEE, ONE OF THE YOUNG MEN

"AND ONE OF THE DONKEYS, THAT I MAY RUN TO THE MAN OF GOD

"AND COME AGAIN."

NOTICE HER HUSBAND, VERSE 23.

AND HE SAID, "WHEREFORE WILL I GO TO HIM TODAY?

"IT IS NEITHER NEW MOON NOR SABBATH."

AND SHE SAID, "IT SHALL BE WELL."

LOOK AT ME.

THE BOY'S DEAD.

SHE'S NOT DENYING THAT.

SHE'S JUST SAYING, CALLING THOSE THINGS WOULD BE NOT

AS THOUGH THEY WERE.

SHE'S USING HER FAITH VOICE.

IT SHALL BE WELL.

SHE DON'T SAY, "YEAH, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW

"WHAT GOD'S GONNA DO, SOMETIMES HE DOES."

NO, NO, IT SHALL BE WELL.

BUT THE BOY'S DEAD, YEAH.

I AIN'T DENYING THAT.

IT SHALL BE WELL.

VERSE 24, "THEN SHE SAT AT THE DONK AND SAID TO HER SERVANT,

'DRIVE AND GO FORWARD.

SLACK NOT THY WRITING FOR ME, EXCEPT I BID THEE.'"

VERSE 25, "SO SHE WENT AND CAME UNTO THE MAN OF GOD

TO MOUNT CARMEL.

AND IT CAME TO PASS, AND THE MAN OF GOD SAW HER AFAR OFF,

THAT HE SAID TO GEHAZI, HIS SERVANT,

'BEHOLD, YONDER IS THAT SHUMANITE WOMAN.'"

NOW, YOU KNOW, GOD DON'T TELL A PREACHER EVERYTHING.

SOMETIME I WISH HE WOULD.

ELIJAH DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE BOY WAS DEAD.

HOW DO I KNOW?

VERSE 26, "RUN UP AND NOW I PRAY THEE TO MEET HER

AND SAY UNTO HER, 'IS IT WELL WITH THEE?

IS IT WELL WITH THY HUSBAND?'"

WHAT'S THIS?

"IS IT WELL WITH THE CHILD?"

AND SHE ANSWERED, "IT IS WELL."

THE BOY'S STILL DEAD.

IN THREE VERSES, SHE GOES FROM, "IT SHALL BE WELL,"

TO, "IT IS WELL."

NOW, WHAT PART OF THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND?

SHE'S USING A FAITH VOICE.

IT SHALL BE WELL, IT IS WELL.

AND THEN YOU READ ON AND ON AND YOU SEE,

WATCH THIS, SO WATCH.

NOW, SEE, SOMETIMES YOU CAN HIRE SOMEBODY

YOU SHOULDN'T HIRE.

GOD GAVE GEHAZI A STICK.

NOW, GO DOWN THERE, PUT THAT STICK ON THAT BOY.

SEE, THE WRONG MAN WITH THE RIGHT STICK.

I'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN IN MY MINISTRY.

I HAD THE WRONG PERSON WITH THE RIGHT STICK.

AND THE GAZER COULDN'T DO A THING.

SO FINALLY ELIJAH WENT DOWN THERE

AND TOOK CARE OF THAT SITUATION.

BUT SHE GOES FROM IT SHALL BE TO IT IS.

IN THREE VERSES.

BUT THE BOY'S STILL DEAD.

WELL, I KNOW THAT.

I'M NOT DENYING HE'S DEAD.

IT IS WELL.

YOU GOT A FAMILY AND YOUR CHILD'S NOT BORN AGAIN.

MAYBE YOU RAISED THEM IN CHURCH.

IT'S JUST THEIR TOUGH LUCK THEY WERE BORN TO YOU.

THEY'RE GONNA GET SAVED WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.

YOU GOT THE PROMISE OF YOUR FAMILY TO A

THOUSAND GENERATIONS.

SO IF YOUR BOY GOING NUTS, YOUR DAUGHTER GOING NUTS,

YOU MIGHT BE SAYING, "IT SHALL BE WELL."

WHY DON'T YOU SWITCH IT TO, "IT IS WELL."

IT IS WELL.

WELL, YOU CONFESS IT.

NO, NO, NO, I'M POSSESSING.

I WENT BEYOND CONFESSING.

I'M POSSESSING.

SEE, THAT'S REVELATION KNOWLEDGE.

GOD TOLD ME TO SAY THIS AT EVERY CHURCH I GO INTO.

I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE SAID THIS HERE.

I WAS SITTING IN MY STUDY, AND I LIKE

CONVERSATION WITH GOD.

I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA SHOCK YOU.

HANK, I DON'T PRAY A LOT.

I LIKE PRAYING, BUT PRAYER IS LIKE THIS,

OH JESUS, HELP ME LORD.

OH LORD, COME ON.

THAT'S GOOD, DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME.

I LIKE CONVERSATION.

I PREFER TO DO THIS, HELLO JESUS, HI JESSE.

I LIKE THAT.

HE CALLS ME JESSE.

HE'S NEVER CALLED ME REVEREND DUPLANTIS.

I'VE NEVER CALLED HIM REVEREND CHRIST.

I CALL HIM JESUS, HE CALL ME JESSE.

BOTH OUR NAMES STARTS WITH A J.

SOMETHING SPIRITUAL ABOUT THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

IT'S SOMETHING.

SO HE LOOKED-I'VE SEEN THE LORD.

I'VE BEEN TO HEAVEN IN 1988.

I PHYSICALLY KNOW HIM.

HE'S BETWEEN 5' 11" AND ABOUT 6 FOOT 1".

I THOUGHT HIS HAIR WAS MY COLOR.

LIGHT COMING OUT OF HIM.

HE TURNED SIDEWAYS, HIS HAIR IS LIGHT BROWN.

IT'S AMAZING.

ANYWAY, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, HE SAYS, JESSE,

WOULD YOU QUOTE TO ME THAT DEATH AND LIFE VERSE?

WE WERE IN A CONVERSATION.

I SAID, "NOW WATCH THIS, USE YOUR FAITH VOICE."

WATCH THIS.

I SAID, "OKAY, DEATH AND LIFE'S IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE.

"THEY THAT LOVE IT SHALL EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF."

HE SAID, "IS THAT REVELATION KNOWLEDGE TO YOU?"

I SAID, "YES, SIR."

HE SAID, "QUOTE IT AGAIN."

DEATH AND LIFE'S IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE.

THEY THAT LOVE IT SHALL EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF.

HE SAID, "IS THAT REVELATION KNOWLEDGE TO YOU?"

I SAID, "YES, IT IS."

HE SAID, "QUOTE IT AGAIN."

I WAS GETTING A LITTLE IRRITATED.

I AIN'T GONNA LIE.

I SAID, "OH MY GOD, WHAT IS HE ASKING ME TO DO?"

OKAY, DEATH AND LIFE'S IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE,

AND THEY THAT LOVE IT SHALL EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF.

HE SAID, "IS THAT REVELATION KNOWLEDGE TO YOU?"

I SAID, "YES, IT IS."

HE SAID, "YOU KNOW, EVERY PERSON THAT'S BORN ON EARTH,

"THEY GOT A NUMBER.

"WHEN I CALL THAT NUMBER, THEY COME HOME TO BE WITH ME."

I SAID, "YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT."

HE SAID, "WELL, IF I CALL YOUR NUMBER

"AND YOU DON'T WANNA GO, DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE."

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

I SAID, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

HE SAID, "IS THAT DEATH AND LIFE,

"SCRIPTURE, REVELATION, KNOWLEDGE TO YOU?"

I SAID, "YES, LORD."

HE SAID, "WELL, IF I CALL YOUR NUMBER

"AND YOU DON'T WANNA GO, DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE."

JERRY SAVELLE ANSWERED THE PHONE.

NOTHING WRONG WITH ANSWERING THE PHONE.

GO ON TO HEAVEN, THAT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

BUT IF YOU DON'T WANNA GO, DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE.

WAIT, WAIT, THAT'S NOT THE BEST PART OF IT.

THEN HE SAID THIS, AND THIS BLEW MY SOCKS OFF.

HE SAID, "I WILL NEVER CALL YOUR NUMBER AGAIN.

"I WILL NEVER DO IT.

"YOU CALL ME."

YOU GOT REVELATION KNOWLEDGE OF DEATH AND LIFE.

LIVE AS LONG AS YOU WANT.

YOU CALL ME, I AIN'T CALLING YOU.

NOW I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW POWERFUL

REVELATION KNOWLEDGE IS.

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE SAVED?

HOLD YOUR HAND UP.

PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.

PROVE IT.

PROVE THAT YOU SAVED.

YOU CAN'T.

YOU HAVE NO CONTRACT SIGNED BY GOD

THAT WHEN YOU DIE, YOU GO TO HEAVEN.

BUT THEN NOBODY CAN TALK YOU OUT OF IT.

WHY? REVELATION KNOWLEDGE,

REVEALED KNOWLEDGE.

BELIEVE THAT VERSE, LIVE AS LONG AS YOU WANT.

I WILL NEVER CALL YOUR NUMBER.

AGAIN, YOU CALL ME.

IF YOU EVER HEAR THAT I PASSED AWAY, I CALLED HIM.

OH, YOU WANT SOME MORE PROOF?

OKAY, JESUS, FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS, I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.

BOOM, HE CHOSE IT.

PAUL THE APOSTLE, I FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT.

I FINISHED THE COURSE, I KEPT THE FAITH.
