(MUSIC)

COME ON CHURCH. CAN YOU GET LOUD IN HERE TODAY? COME ON.

(MUSIC)

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU. PRAISE

YOU, LORD! WE HONOR YOU AND WE WELCOME YOU. YES, LORD. BECAUSE

YOU ARE THE GREAT GOD WHO WE ESTEEM AS OUR KING, OUR GOD, AND

WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID,

"AMEN." WHOO, C'MON WAIT A MINUTE. IT'S TIME TO GET LOUD.

THAT WAS LIKE LOW LEVEL AMEN, MAN. OKAY, NOW THAT COULD HAVE

BEEN LOUDER, I GUESS. IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOUDER. YOU KNOW,

HEAVEN'S A LOUD PLACE, RIGHT? HIS VOICE IS THE VOICE OF MANY

WATERS. THERE'S THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. ALL RIGHT, SO I'M

GONNA TRY THIS AGAIN. LET'S SEE HERE. AND ALL THE PEOPLE SAID.

AMEN! AMEN! THERE WE GO. THAT IS GOOD. I ACTUALLY HEARD FROM, NO,

I'M TEASING YOU TODAY. SO ANYWAY, HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING?

ARE YOU, WAS IT? OKAY, SO LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. I KNOW YOU

LOVE GOD. I KNOW YOU LOVE THIS PLACE, BUT YOU KNOW, WITH THE

RAIN AND WHAT DO THEY CALL IT? THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE.

HUMIDITY. OR HUMIDITY. HOW MANY OF YOU, YOU ROLLED OVER AND

YOU'RE LIKE, "UGH, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD DAY TO TAKE A

NAP." OR STAY, I KNOW YOU THOUGHT IT. BUT I DO GET EXCITED

TO COME TO CHURCH. WE GET EXCITED, THAT'S MY POINT. AND

THEN I KNOW I'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A NAP AFTER

CHURCH. THERE YOU GO. THAT'S THE THING. ALL RIGHT, JESUS TOOK

NAPS. ANYBODY, HOW MANY OF YOU TAKE NAPS ON SUNDAY? ANYBODY

TAKE NAPS? THAT MEANS IT'S TIME TO GET BIBLICAL, RIGHT? THAT'S

WHY I FEED MY LITTLE SHIH TZU UNDERNEATH THE TABLE, BECAUSE

I'M MEMBER THE SCRIPTURE. EVEN THE DOGS GET THE CRUMBS.

SEE BRENDA, I'M HELPING OUT. SO, BUT ANYWAY, IT'S GOOD TO BE IN

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, AND I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU CAME. SO IT IS

ALL RIGHT, I WANT TO DO THIS. I'M SO HONORED THAT YOU

JOINED US TODAY. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE

WORLD, YOU KNOW, MAYBE PUT LIKE A SUN IF IT'S SUNNY THERE. I

DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE LIKE THOSE LITTLE WHATEVER THEY CALL

THOSE THINGS OR CLOUDS OR IF IT'S RAINING. LET US KNOW WHAT

THE WEATHER IS WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD. BUT

WE'RE EXCITED THAT YOU JOINED US. I'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD WORD

TODAY. I'M EXCITED. TELL US ABOUT IT. SO LAST WEEK, HOW MANY

WERE HERE LAST WEEK IN THE HOUSE? AND IF YOU WANT TO PUT

YOUR HAND UP ONLINE, YOU COULD DO THAT. BUT I REALLY HAD A WORD

THAT I REALLY FELT LIKE THE LORD SPOKE TO ME THAT REALLY

ENCOURAGED ME. AND IT'S THIS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A NEW SEASON.

AND THE LORD SPOKE TO MY HEART ABOUT WHY SOME PRAYERS ARE

HINDERED, DELAYED, OR THEY DON'T HAPPEN FOR SOME PEOPLE. AND HE

TAUGHT US THE PRINCIPLES. WE'RE GONNA GO BACK OVER THAT. WE'RE

GONNA LOOK AT THE LORD'S PRAYER AGAIN, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A

LOT OF FUN. I THINK YOU TAUGHT SOME TRUTH OUT OF THOSE

SCRIPTURE, THAT SCRIPTURE LAST WEEK THAT, I MEAN, PERSONALLY,

IT REALLY SPOKE TO ME. YOU KNOW, WHAT WE THINK ABOUT IN

ABUNDANCE, EVENTUALLY WE SOLIDIFY IT WITH OUR WORDS, AND

THAT WAS FANTASTIC. I'M EXCITED TO HEAR A PART TWO. AMEN, HOW

MANY OF YOU THIS WEEK, YOU ALIGNED YOUR WORDS BETTER? YES.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT, WELL, BEFORE WE WORSHIP, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF

YOU KNOW, I JUST GOT A CALL FROM OUR ANIMATOR. THEY ARE ALMOST

DONE WITH THREE VIDEOS. SO WE ARE SUPER, SUPER, SUPER EXCITED.

AND I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN'S SERIES, BRENDA. NINE STORIES ARE

IN THE CAN. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE CAN, LIKE,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? NOT LIKE YOU THREW IT AWAY, BUT

WAITING, WAITING FOR THEM TO BE PUT INTO BOOKS AND VIDEOS. SO

IT'S REALLY, REALLY EXCITING. BUT I RAN INTO A TOY, WELL, HE

WAS A TOY MAKER, AND ACTION FIGURES, HE WORKED FOR A TOY

COMPANY, ACTION FIGURES, HE WAS MAKING, HE SAID HE MADE SIX

FIGURES. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT HE GOT FIRED AFTER TWO WEEKS

BECAUSE HE JUST WASN'T PRODUCING ENOUGH. SO I GUESS WE REALLY

CAN'T COUNT ON HIM FOR THE CHILDREN'S STUFF, YOU KNOW. HE

MADE SIX FIGURES. OKAY, WELL, ALL RIGHT. I SET EVERY ONE OF

YOU UP, DID I NOT? OKAY, ONLINE, YOU KNOW I SET YOU UP. JUST

ADMIT IT. WE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING. OH, YOU DID, OKAY. ALL

RIGHT, SO LET'S PULL IT BACK SPIRITUAL. ONE THING I DO WANT

TO SAY, NO, YOU DIDN'T GET IT, THAT'S THE PROBLEM. AND I WORKED

REALLY HARD TO FIGURE ALL THE COMPONENTS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE

LAUGHING. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY ON THE SPIRITUAL SIDE, BEFORE WE

WORSHIP, WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION TODAY. AND I

WANNA INVITE, YES, I ALWAYS LIKE IT TOO. AND I WANNA INVITE THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AS WELL AS THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND

THAT'S WHAT I LOVE. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE IN THEIR HOMES OR

WHEREVER AND WE CAN PARTAKE TOGETHER. AMEN, ALL RIGHT, WE'LL

GET THOSE THINGS READY. AND RIGHT NOW THOUGH, WE ARE GONNA

WORSHIP GOD STRONG. LET'S WORSHIP HIM BOLD TODAY. THROW

YOUR HANDS UP TO HEAVEN. COME ON, WAVE THEM A LITTLE BIT. A

PROPHETIC ACT THAT YOU ARE JUST WAVING AWAY THE WEAK. ANYTHING

THAT THE ENEMY TRIED TO SOW IN THE WEAK, COME ON, IT'S JUST

CAST OFF. GIVE GOD A PRAISE OFFERING. JUST SAY, LORD, I

PRAISE YOU RIGHT NOW. I HONOR YOU. I THANK YOU. THE ANOINTING

OF THE LORD IS GONNA BE IN THE HOUSE TODAY. TOUCH MY LIFE.

TOUCH MY MIND. TOUCH MY BODY. AND LORD, I PROMISE, COME ON,

ARE YOU READY TO SAY IT? TO GIVE YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE. COME

ON, SHOUT LIKE YOU BELIEVE THAT, AND LET'S PRAISE GOD TOGETHER.

COME ON, CHURCH.

HOPE YOU'RE NOT DONE SHOUTING YET.

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

THANK YOU, LORD. WE HONOR YOU, KING JESUS. AND WE DEDICATE

OUR LIVES, OUR HEARTS, OUR MOTIVES, OUR INTENTS TO BE

VESSELS FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO USE US AND TO REST UPON US FOR

YOUR PURPOSE AND FOR YOUR HONOR. OH, HOW WE HONOR YOU. WE WORSHIP

YOU, BLESS YOU. I WANT US TO, AT THIS TIME, THE USHERS, IF YOU

COULD GO AHEAD AND LET'S SERVE HOLY COMMUNION AND LET'S HONOR

OUR GOD TOGETHER. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE

WORLD, I WANT YOU TO PARTAKE TOGETHER IN THE UNITY OF OUR

FAITH TOGETHER. LET'S CONTINUE TO WORSHIP, AND THEN WE WILL

RECEIVE THE LORD'S BODY AND BLOOD TOGETHER.

(MUSIC)

I WANT US IN THIS ROOM, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, I WANT YOU TO HONESTLY REFLECT WHAT JESUS WENT THROUGH.

YOU'RE AN INNOCENT MAN, FULLY GOD, FULLY MAN, GOD COMING TO

THE EARTH IN HUMAN FLESH, AND YET THE BIBLE DESCRIBES THAT HE

WAS, AS HE WENT FORTH ON THE CROSS, HE WAS LIKE A LAMB LED TO

THE SLAUGHTER. I ASKED THE LORD A QUESTION THIS WEEK, AND I WANT

YOU TO HEAR ME. I ASKED HIM, I SAID, "GOD, HOW DO I HAVE MORE

ENCOUNTERS WITH YOU, AND HOW DO I GO DEEPER?" AND HE SPOKE BACK

TO ME VERY, VERY QUICKLY. AND HE SAID, "THE REASON MY PEOPLE,

MANY OF THEM BECOME FRUSTRATED, DISCOURAGED, UPSET, BECAUSE THEY

TOO DESIRE MORE." HE SAID, "BECAUSE EITHER THEY DON'T ENTER

IN OR THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ENTER IN TO MY PRESENCE." THE

BIBLE SAYS THAT WE ARE TO ENTER HIS COURTS AND HIS GATES WITH

PRAISE. AND YET PEOPLE, WHEN THEY WORSHIP HIM, THEY WONDER

WHY THEY NEVER HAVE AN ENCOUNTER 'CAUSE THEY DON'T ENTER IN. THEY

STAND THERE, THEY THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY GOTTA DO TOMORROW,

RIGHT? YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WHETHER IT'S GOOD SOUND, YOU

LIKE THE SONG, YOU AGREE WITH THE MUSIC, IT MIGHT BE TOO ROCK

AND ROLL-ISH, IT MIGHT BE THE, AND YOU NEVER EXPERIENCE,

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO ENTER IN. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO

ENTER IN. AND GOD KEPT SAYING TO ME, AS I ASKED HIM THE QUESTION,

I SAID, "HANK, JUST KEEP ENTERING IN." AND THEN HE SAID

THIS, HE SAID, "AND THEN WHEN PEOPLE DON'T ENTER, "THEY DON'T

EVER TAKE TIME TO JUST CREATE A PLACE FOR GOD." MOSES WAS TOLD

BY GOD, "MEET ME AT A PLACE CALLED THERE." WE DON'T HAVE A

THERE TO MEET GOD, A PLACE WHERE WE MEET WITH HIM. WE'LL NEVER

ENTER INTO THE DEEPER THINGS. AND SO YOU SAY, "WELL, WHAT DOES

THAT HAVE TO DO WITH COMMUNION?" IF YOU JUST THINK THIS IS JUST

JUICE, OR WHATEVER YOU GATHERED, AND YOU DON'T ENTER INTO THE

FULL UNDERSTANDING THAT BOTH JESUS AND THE APOSTLE PAUL, WHEN

HE TAUGHT THIS, THAT WE'RE DOING NOW, BOTH JESUS FIRST. PAUL

REPEATING WHAT JESUS SAID. JESUS DIDN'T SAY, THIS, LET'S TAKE OF

THAT, WHICH HE SAID, "THIS IS MY BODY." JESUS HELD UP THE BREAD.

HE DIDN'T SAY, "THIS REPRESENTS." THIS IS SYMBOLIC.

HE SAID, "THIS IS." AND THEN PAUL SAID THE SAME THING. "THIS

IS HIS BODY." AND IF YOU DON'T ENTER IN WITH THAT

UNDERSTANDING, YOU WON'T RECEIVE THE FULL BENEFITS OF WHAT WE'RE

DOING. SAME WAY WITH PRAISE AND WORSHIP. IF WE JUST STAND THERE,

I LOOKED AROUND THIS MORNING, I SAW SO MANY PEOPLE JUST

STANDING. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN YOUR HOME. I'M

NOT CORRECTING YOU, I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT GOD SAID TO

THIS VESSEL. GOTTA LEARN TO ENTER IN. WELL, YOUR PREACHING

DOESN'T DO MUCH FOR YOU. WELL, DO YOU ENTER IN? DO YOU BRING A

BIBLE? DO YOU GET A NOTEBOOK? OR ARE YOU JUST SCROLLING THROUGH

YOUR FACEBOOK AND YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA, YOUR EMAILS, WHILE YOU

GOT YOUR PHONE BIBLE? IT'S A LACK OF ENTERING IN THAT WE

DON'T GET RESULTS. IT'S THE SAME WAY WITH THIS. WHEN JESUS DIED

AND GAVE OF HIS BODY, HE PAID FOR EVERY SINGLE THING THAT YOU

NEED OR WILL EVER NEED. HE COVERED IT ALL. THAT'S WHY HE

SAID, IT IS NOW FINISHED. YOU ARE HEALED. YOU ARE DELIVERED.

YOU HAVE LONG LIFE. YOU HAVE SOUNDNESS OF MIND. YOU HAVE A

BLESSED MEMORY. YOU HAVE STRENGTH IN YOUR BODY. YOU HAVE

BLESSINGS AND WISDOM AND FAVOR. YOU HAVE PROTECTION FROM HARM.

YOU ARE KEPT FROM HARM AND EVIL AS THOUSANDS FALL AT YOUR SIDE

AND TEN THOUSANDS AT YOUR RIGHT HAND. NO PLAGUE, NO PLAGUE CAN

COME NEAR YOUR DWELLING. IF YOU ENTER INTO THE UNDERSTANDING,

THIS IS HIS BODY, HE PAID FOR IT. AND HE SAID, "HE THAT EATS

MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD HAS MY LIFE." WHAT DOES HE SAY? "HAS

EVERY SINGLE THING THAT MY LIFE PAID FOR." THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS

TO HAVE HIS LIFE IN YOU, WORKING IN YOU. COME ON, NO MATTER, I

DON'T, I'M TELLING YOU, IF THERE'S DISEASE IN YOUR BODY,

HIS LIFE, THIS BODY, WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT, YOU HAVE HIS LIFE.

EVERYTHING THAT HIS LIFE PROVIDED AND GAVE, YOU HAVE. AND

IT DRIVES OUT DISEASE AND SICKNESS, AND IT BRINGS FORTH

YOUR FULL BENEFITS AND RIGHTS OF YOUR COVENANT. LET'S ENTER IN.

SAY, I RECEIVE. I RECEIVE. OF YOUR BODY. OF YOUR BODY. MY LORD

AND SAVIOR. MY LORD AND SAVIOR. JESUS CHRIST. AND AS I RECEIVE

OF YOUR BODY, RIGHT NOW, I RECEIVE YOUR LIFE INTO ALL MY

FLESH. EVERY CELL, EVERY FIBER, EVERY ORGAN, EVERY PARTICLE, MY

BONES, MY BLOOD, MY IMMUNE SYSTEM IS HEALTHY AND STRONG. I

WILL NEVER HAVE BRAIN BLEEDS, BLOOD CLOTS, ANEURYSMS, HEART

ATTACKS, CARDIAC ARREST, STROKES, MANY STROKES. I'LL

NEVER HAVE THOSE THINGS. I'LL NEVER HAVE CANCER OR TUMORS.

I'LL NEVER HAVE ALZHEIMER'S, DEMENTIA, BIPOLAR DISEASE. I

WILL NEVER DIE PREMATURELY. I WILL LIVE A GOOD OLD AGE. I

RECEIVE AS I ENTER IN YOUR BODY, AND I RECEIVE YOUR LIFE.

(MUSIC)

THANK YOU, LORD. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS, EVEN ABOUT SOME

THINGS I'M PRAYING ABOUT, THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT I'VE PRAYED.

WELL, HANK, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT? I'M GONNA ENTER

INTO MORE FASTING. SOME KIND HAPPENED WITH FASTING. I'M GONNA

GET MORE DILIGENT TO THANK GOD FOR WHAT I BELIEVE THAT I

RECEIVE, AND I'M GONNA ENTER IN. SOMETIMES WHEN WE DON'T GET OUR

WAY OR WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT OR WE PRAY, WE STOP ENTERING.

KIND OF FORGET ABOUT IT, PUT IT ON THE SHELF. LET'S TAKE OF THIS

THAT HE SAID, "THIS IS MY BLOOD." WHEN YOU ENTER INTO YOUR

COVENANT RITES, LISTEN TO ME, MAN, THE SPIRIT OF GOD JUST

SPOKE SOMETHING TO ME. I HEARD HIM LITERALLY SHOUT SOMETHING TO

ME. THIS IS PROFOUND WHAT HE JUST SAID TO ME. YOU ARE AN

AMAZING GOD. YOU'RE GONNA BE SHOCKED WHAT HE JUST SAID TO ME.

WHEN YOU ENTER IN TO YOUR COVENANT RIGHTS OF HIS BODY AND

NOW WATCH THIS, HIS BLOOD, THE ENEMY CANNOT ENTER IN. I'LL GIVE

YOU A SCRIPTURE. DID YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID? WHEN YOU ENTER

IN TO YOUR COVENANT RITES OF HIS BODY AND BLOOD, THE ENEMY CANNOT

ENTER IN. HOLY SPIRIT SHOUTED THAT, AND THEN HE QUOTED ME THE

SCRIPTURE TO BACK IT. THEY PUT THE BLOOD ON THE DOORPOSTS, AND

THE ENEMY COULD NOT TOUCH THEM, THEIR STUFF, THEIR KIDS, BECAUSE

OF THE BLOOD OF A LAMB. YOU ARE RECEIVING THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

OF GOD. AND WHEN YOU TAKE OF THIS BLOOD, NO WITCH, NO

WARLOCK, WIZARD, NO WORKER OF INCANTATION, DIVINATION, NO

DEMON, NO DEVIL, NOT SATAN HIMSELF CAN ENTER IN. BUT YOU

HAVE TO ENTER INTO THE REVELATION OF YOUR BLOOD

COVENANT AND WHAT IS YOUR RIGHT. SO. WE SAY THIS WITH ME, WE

RECEIVE, WE ENTER IN BY RECEIVING OF YOUR BLOOD AND WE

APPLY IT THROUGH THE BLOOD OF SPRINKLING. AS WE PARTAKE OF

YOUR BLOOD, THE ENEMY IS NOT ALLOWED TO EXACT UPON US. HE

CANNOT, NOR IS HE ABLE, TO ENTER IN TO MY MIND, TO MY BODY, TO MY

HOME, MY FAMILY, IF YOU'RE MARRIED, MY MARRIAGE, MY

CHILDREN, NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER IN TO MY VEHICLE, TO MY STUFF,

MY PETS, OR EVEN MY MONEY. I LIVE IN THE BLESSING. LET'S

PARTAKE TOGETHER AS WE ENTER IN. THANK YOU, LORD. I MIGHT HAVE TO

PREACH ON THAT. DID I HELP ANYBODY? ALL RIGHT. ARE

YOU READY? I WANT YOU TO STAND TO YOUR FEET. AND I WANT YOU TO

ENTER INTO A HANDSHAKE WITH SOMEBODY. SOME PEOPLE, "OH, THAT

CHURCH ISN'T FRIENDLY." WELL, HAVE YOU ENTERED IN TO EXTEND IN

YOUR ARM A FRIENDSHIP? ALL RIGHT, GREET ONE ANOTHER.

GREET ONE ANOTHER.

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

AMEN. PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN,

WASH AWAY MY SIN? NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS, AMEN? AMEN,

(AUDIENCE CHEERING) COME ON, GIVE IT UP FOR CORE STUDENT

MINISTRIES. (AUDIENCE CHEERING) ALL RIGHT, PASTOR MATT, GET ON

OVER HERE. SO WE GOT A FEW THINGS TO TALK ABOUT. YOU HAVE A

LITTLE BAG IN YOUR HAND, AND I SEE YOU'RE HAPPILY REPRESENTING

DECKED OUT IN GAME CHANGERS MERCH. BUT REAL QUICKLY, YOU

KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE TODAY IN WORSHIP, WE DID A LITTLE BIT

OF A MILITANT PUSHBACK TO ALL OF THE THINGS EVERYONE'S CALLING

PRIDE. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO STAND UP IN THE CULTURE. THIS IS

JUNE, AND THEY LIKE TO CALL IT PRIDE MONTH, BUT WE'RE TAKING

THAT BACK FROM THE ENEMY IN JESUS' NAME AND COUNTERING THAT.

BUT TELL US SOMETHING, THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE STANDING, AND I

THINK IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO EVER GET THE IDEA

THAT YOU'RE JUST THIS SMALL MINORITY. YOU AND GOD MAKE A

MAJORITY, BUT IT TAKES PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO PUT

THEMSELVES OUT THERE. SO TELL ME, YOU JUST GOT A TEXT FROM

SOMEBODY. YEAH, SO FRIEND OF GAME CHANGERS IN THE SHOW, HE'S

BEEN ON A COUPLE TIMES, REAL MAN OF GOD, BUT BLAKE TRINAN ON THE

LA DODGERS. YEAH, JUST, YES. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED

WITH THAT? WELL, IN CASE THEY DON'T, TELL THEM WHAT-- THE ONLY

PLAYER IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL THAT REFUSED TO WEAR THE PRIDE

HAT ON PRIDE NIGHT. AND THE NIGHT HE DID IT, THEY PUT HIM IN

THE GAME AND HE GOT CREDITED FOR THE WIN. WOO! YEAH, SO HE WON

THAT GAME. GO, BOY! SO, REALLY COOL, AND HE JUST TEXTED ME, HE

GOES, "MAN," HE GOES-- I HOPE HE'S WATCHING. HE'S TEXTING ME

RIGHT NOW, HE GOES, "DUDE, IT SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE, BUT

GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT ISN'T IT WILD

THAT IT'S JUST A HAT THAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT? I JUST PRAY

IT PROVOKES BOLDNESS FOR SO MANY TO DO THE SAME FOR WHATEVER THE

REASON IS FOR HOLDING A GOD STANDARD IN THEIR SPHERE OF

INFLUENCE." WHAT DO WE TALK ABOUT, PA? WE TALK ALL THE TIME,

CHANGING THE GAME IN YOUR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE. SO YEAH, HE'S

AWESOME AND BIG FRIEND OF THE SHOW, LOVES THE MINISTRY,

LOVES-- WELL, AND THERE WAS ONE OTHER FRANCHISE IN ALL OF MAJOR

LEAGUE BASEBALL. YOU'RE RIGHT. JUST BREAKING NEWS, THEY

MENTIONED THAT. SO THERE'S 30 TEAMS IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.

29 OF THEM DID A PRIDE NIGHT. THERE WAS ONLY ONE TEAM, THE

TEXAS RANGERS, AND THEY BASICALLY CAME OUT AND SAID, ON

JUNE 18TH, THEY ARE DOING A FAITH AND FAMILY NIGHT. YEAH,

IT'S PRETTY COOL. COME ON, COME ON, LET 'EM GIVE GOD A PRAISE.

AMEN. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE STANDING IN THIS SEASON FOR

MORAL DECENCY. YEAH, AND THEY SAID THEY'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING

AT THEIR STADIUM, AND A BUNCH OF THE PLAYERS ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT

HOW JESUS HAS IMPACTED THEIR LIFE PERSONALLY, AND IT'S REALLY

JUST AMAZING. AND YOU AND I HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT, YOU KNOW,

IT'S GOOD TO TAKE A STAND ON THINGS, BUT ALSO, WE HAVE TO

ALSO SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T BOYCOTT EVERYTHING, BECAUSE

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE STANDING IN THESE SPHERES OF

INFLUENCE, RIGHT? WE GOTTA GET BEHIND 'EM. WE GOTTA GET BEHIND

'EM, AND IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A CERTAIN LEVEL WHERE,

YOU KNOW, WE WANNA BOYCOTT CERTAIN THINGS WHEN IT GETS

OUTRAGEOUS, BUT IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE BOYCOTT

EVERYTHING, IT'S LIKE, WELL, SHOOT, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE

TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE ANYMORE, YOU KNOW? SO, BUT--

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. THERE'S A BALANCE, AND

IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, I WANNA PUT ASIDE CERTAIN THINGS AND BE

LIKE, YEAH, I'M NOT GONNA SUPPORT THAT, BUT ALSO, LIKE,

I'M GONNA SUPPORT THOSE THAT ARE BEHIND ENEMY LINES. YEAH, THAT'S

GOOD. AND THEY'RE IN THAT INFLUENCE, AND THEY'RE LIKE,

MAN, LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, LIKE, I WAS THAT ROMAN SOLDIER OR

SOMETHING THAT TURNED AWAY FROM THE ATROCITIES OF KILLING

CHRISTIANS, AND I TOOK A STAND AND DIED AS A MARTYR, YOU KNOW

WHAT I MEAN? SO THERE WAS THOSE STORIES, AND IT'S LIKE, WE HAVE

TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE, LOOK, MY

CAREER IS BEING INFILTRATED BY CRAZY ATROCITIES OUT THERE.

THAT'S GOOD, COME ON, YOU GOT IT. AND THEY'RE TAKING A STAND.

I APPRECIATE THAT. WELL, YOU GUYS, MATTHEW, THANK YOU FOR

THAT, PASTOR MATT. I APPRECIATE THAT. YOU GUYS GOT A VOLUNTEER

AND PASTOR ANTHONY, YOU GUYS HAVE HAD A VISION TO KIND OF

INFILTRATE CULTURE AND SPORTS AND BRING EVANGELISM WITH A

FRESH LIGHT TO IT. YOU KNOW, THE ONLY EVANGELISM I EVER

UNDERSTOOD WAS HAND OUT A TRACK, HOLD UP A SIGN, TURN OR BURN,

FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST ALL IN ONE SESSION DOWN IN THE RED

LIGHT DISTRICT. I MEAN, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. THOSE ARE

IMPORTANT PARTS OF IT. THAT DOESN'T GO AWAY, BUT WE GOTTA

YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT MORE MERCH, EVEN WHEN THEY GET BACK

TO WHATEVER CITY OR STATE THEY'RE FROM. SO IT'S JUST

DIFFERENT WAYS TO CONNECT WITH US. AND THEN WE HAVE A REALLY

COOL ONE TOO FOR THE CHURCH AND THE EVANGELISM TEAM THAT'S GONNA

BE GOING OUT. AND THIS IS REALLY COOL. AND SO THAT'LL BE WHAT

THAT TEAM IS GOING TO BE HANDING OUT TO PEOPLE. AND THAT'LL BE

COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM GAME CHANGERS JUST BECAUSE IN THE

OMAHA BASEBALL VILLAGE, WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT SEPARATE. BUT THERE

ARE PLACES DOWNTOWN THAT WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT AND TOTALLY

GET THE MESSAGE OUT. SO YOU GOT VOLUNTEER? YOU NEED MORE

VOLUNTEERS? WE DO. YEAH, WE'VE GOT-- SO YOU'VE GOT A MEETING

TODAY? WE'VE GOT ANOTHER MEETING TODAY. AND IF YOU DID GO TO THE

ONE TWO WEEKS AGO, THERE IS SOME NEW INFORMATION WE'LL BE GOING

OVER TODAY. AND THEN IF YOU HAVEN'T COME YET, DEFINITELY

WOULD LOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO COME IN THERE. I KNOW YOU AND PASTOR

HANK ARE PLANNING TO ZIP IN. AND THEN NEXT SUNDAY, YOU GUYS ARE

ACTUALLY PLANNING TO COME DOWN AFTER YOUR SUNDAY NAPS. HELP US,

LORD. YEAH, SO MOM AND DAD WILL BE AROUND A LITTLE BIT. MORE

EXCITED. HELP US. I KNOW, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. SO BE

ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THEM DOWN THERE A COUPLE TIMES. BUT WYATT

WAS NOT HERE LAST WEEK. AND WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT THAT REAL

QUICK. SO ME AND OFFICER HERRICK. MY DAD'S GOTTA PREACH.

YEAH, ME AND OFFICER HERRICK WERE IN HATTIESBURG,

MISSISSIPPI. UNFORTUNATELY, SOUTHERN MISS, THEIR SEASON'S

OVER. THEY DID GET BEAT. BUT WE SPENT SOME TIME DOWN THERE WITH

A GUY WHO LOVES THE MINISTRY HERE AND HIS WIFE LOVES THE

MINISTRY. AND IF THEY COULD PUT THOSE PICTURES UP, THAT'D BE

REALLY COOL. HE SENDS HIS GREETINGS. THAT IS BRETT AND

DEANNA FAVRE. AND-- - YOU'RE WEARING A SUPER BOWL RING. I AM

WEARING A SUPER BOWL RING AND HIS HALL OF FAME GOLD JACKET.

PASTOR MATT. AND PUT HERRICK'S UP TOO, 'CAUSE OFFICER HERRICK

GOT ONE TOO. (LAUGHING) SO WE SAT AROUND, WATCHED BASEBALL,

WENT OVER AND WATCHED MOVIES WITH THEM AND JUST HUNG OUT AND

ATE A BUNCH OF CRAWFISH. IT WAS A SUPER BOWL JACKET. IT WAS

PRETTY COOL. AND THEN WE HAD ONE AT THE STADIUM TOO, THEY COULD

PUT UP, BUT IT WAS REALLY COOL. AND THAT'S AFTER THEIR SEASON

WAS OVER, THEY HUDDLED TOGETHER AND PRAYED AS A TEAM. AND THAT'S

ME WITH SOME OF THOSE GUYS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE GAME. I WENT TO

DINNER WITH A FEW OF THEM AND JUST MINISTERED TO THEM, PRAYED

WITH THEM, ENCOURAGED THEM. AND AGAIN, I TOLD THEM, YOU KNOW, NO

MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, LIKE YOU GUYS ARE GONNA MAKE IT IN LIFE.

NO MATTER WHAT SPHERE OF INFLUENCE YOU GO IN, WHETHER

THAT'S PRO BASEBALL OR SOMETHING ELSE, ALL OF YOU ARE GONNA BE

BETTER FATHERS, YOU KNOW, HUSBANDS, AND JUST MEN OF GOD IN

GENERAL. AND THAT WAS THE WHOLE MESSAGE OF WHY I WENT DOWN THERE

TO CONNECT WITH THOSE GUYS. AND FOR THE PLAYERS THAT ARE COMING

BACK, THEY ALREADY WANT ME TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR. OH, THAT'S

AWESOME. SO IT WAS AWESOME TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISION TO

AFFECT, MANY OF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS, PASTOR MATT HAD PROPHECIES

AS A CHILD THAT YOU WILL HAVE A PASSION TO AFFECT SPORTS WITH

THE GOSPEL. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S THAT EVANGELISTIC ANOINTING THAT

YOUR DAD CARRIED ON YOU, HAS COME ON YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR,

THANK YOU BOTH OF YOU FOR BEING BOLD TO GO DOWN AND AFFECT THE

DARKNESS WITH THE LIGHT. SO, ALL RIGHT, GIVE HIM ONE LAST HAND. I

HIT MY SPORTS FANATIC BAR BY WEARING HIS RING AND GOLD

JACKET. THAT WAS AN ANSWERED PRAYER AT TWO YEARS OLD RIGHT

THERE. SO. ALL RIGHT, GIVE HIM ONE LAST ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, VERY, VERY QUICKLY, I WANNA GET PASTOR UP

TO PREACH, AND WE DON'T LIKE TO ALWAYS MAKE TOO MANY

ANNOUNCEMENTS, BUT IT ALSO MAKES CHURCH FUN. IT LETS YOU KNOW WE

HAVE A LOT GOING ON HERE AT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH. I'M GONNA READ

A SCRIPTURE TO YOU. I'M GONNA SKIP SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF. WE

CAN ALWAYS, LISTEN, GET ON 70401 CONNECT TO LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH,

GET ON THE MAILING LIST, AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN GET ALL THE

UPDATES ON EVERY SINGLE EVENT THAT WE HAVE GOING ON. BUT I WAS

READING, AND INTERESTING, WHEN THEY WERE SINGING ABOUT CULTURE

TODAY, AND I THINK THEY CAME UP WITH THAT PHRASE ON THE FLY.

PSALM 94, CAN I JUST READ FROM THE WORD VERY QUICKLY? PSALM 94,

THIS WHOLE CHAPTER IS ABOUT GOD DEALING WITH THE WICKED AND

EXALTING AND EXONERATING THE RIGHTEOUS. NOW, I KNOW THAT

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A TYPICAL OFFERING MESSAGE THAT I WOULD

GIVE, BUT LET ME READ IT TO YOU, VERSE ONE, "LORD GOD, TO WHOM

VENGEANCE BELONGS, O GOD, TO WHOM VENGEANCE BELONGS, SHOW

YOURSELF." IN OTHER WORDS, THE PRAYER IS, "GOD, REVEAL

YOURSELF. LIFT UP YOURSELF, THOU JUDGE OF THE EARTH, AND RENDER A

REWARD TO THE PROUD." THINK ABOUT THAT. WHAT ARE THEY

CALLING THIS MONTH? SO IN OTHER WORDS, GOD DEAL WITH IT, IS WHAT

THE PSALMIST IS SAYING. "LORD, HOW LONG SHALL THE WICKED, AND

HOW LONG SHALL THE WICKED TRIUMPH?" IN OTHER WORDS, 29

BASEBALL TEAMS HAVING A PRIDE MONTH, AND ONLY ONE STANDING.

THAT'S HOW IT WOULD FEEL, LIKE YOU'RE UP AGAINST ALL OF THIS,

AND YOU FEEL SMALL IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. THAT'S HOW THE PSALMIST

WAS FEELING. HOW LONG SHALL THEY UTTER AND SPEAK HARD THINGS, AND

ALL THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY BOAST THEMSELVES? THEY BREAK IN

PIECES YOUR PEOPLE, O LORD, AND AFFLICT YOUR HERITAGE. THEY SLAY

THE WIDOW AND THE STRANGER AND MURDER THE FATHERLESS. YET THEY

SAY THE LORD WON'T NOTICE. NEITHER SHALL THE GOD OF JACOB

PAY ATTENTION TO IT. UNDERSTAND, YOU BRUTISTS ARE AMONG THE

PEOPLE, YOU FOOLS. WHEN WILL YOU BE WISE? HE THAT PLANTED THE EAR

SHALL HE NOT HEAR, AND HE THAT FORMED THE EYE SHALL HE NOT SEE.

YOU KNOW, GOD SEES ALL OF IT, RIGHT? SHALL HE NOT SEE IT? HE

THAT CHASTISES THE HEATHEN SHALL HE NOT CORRECT? HE THAT TEACHES

MAN KNOWLEDGE SHALL HE NOT KNOW? THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF

MAN, THAT THEY'RE VAIN. BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOM YOU CORRECT OR

CHASTEN, O LORD, FOR YOU TEACH HIM OUT OF YOUR LAW. NOW LOOK

HERE IN THESE NEXT FEW VERSES. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT GOD

WILL DO FOR THE RIGHTEOUS. I FOUND SEVEN OF THEM. VERSE 13,

THAT YOU MAY GIVE REST. SAY, GOD IS GIVING ME REST. YOU WILL GIVE

REST FROM OUR DAYS OF ADVERSITY UNTIL THE PIT BE DIGGED FOR THE

WICKED. SO EVEN THOUGH THERE IS CRAZINESS GOING ON AND THERE'S

WICKED PEOPLE THAT ARE TOUTING PRIDE AND TOUTING EVIL, GOD WILL

GIVE YOU REST IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT. AND VERSE 14, FOR THE LORD

WILL NOT CAST OFF HIS PEOPLE, NEITHER WILL HE FORSAKE HIS

INHERITANCE. IN OTHER WORDS, GOD IS GONNA KEEP US AND PROTECT US

IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS DANGEROUS TIMES THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THE

LAST DAYS ARE ALL ABOUT. HE WILL KEEP US, BUT JUDGMENT SHALL

RETURN UNTO THE RIGHTEOUS. YOU KNOW, THAT WORD JUDGMENT IS ALSO

JUSTICE, AND THE WORD JUSTICE IS SO OVERUSED TODAY, BUT GOD KEEPS

THE SCORE. THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. AND THE BIBLE SAYS, "SHALL NOT

THE JUDGE OF THE EARTH DO THE RIGHT THING?" SO GOD WILL KEEP

JUDGMENT UNTO THE RIGHTEOUS, AND ALL THE UPRIGHT IN HEART WILL

FOLLOW IT. WHO WILL RISE UP AGAINST ME OR AGAINST THE

EVILDOERS? WHO WILL RISE UP FOR ME AGAINST EVILDOERS? WHO WILL

STAND UP FOR ME AGAINST THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY? ISN'T THAT

OUR CRY? ISN'T THAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN CRYING OUT, LORD? WE NEED

PEOPLE TO STAND LIKE BLAKE TRINAN IN THIS SEASON. WE NEED

PEOPLE LIKE THE TEXAS RANGERS WHO ARE WILLING TO GO AGAINST

THE TIDE, RIGHT? BUT UNLESS THE LORD HAD BEEN MY HELP, CAN I

PROPHESY TO YOU TODAY? THE LORD IS HELPING HIS PEOPLE. THE LORD

IS HELPING YOU. YOU TOUCH YOURSELF, SAY, "THE LORD IS

HELPING ME TODAY." COME ON, SOMEBODY. "LEST THE LORD HAVE

BEEN MY HELP, MY SOUL WOULD HAVE DWELT IN SILENCE. WHEN I SAID,

'MY FOOT SLIPS,'" HERE'S THE FOURTH ONE, "GOD SAID, 'I'LL

HELP, I'LL HELP YOU.' THE LORD IS MY HELP. AND WHEN I SAID, 'MY

FOOT SLIPS,' THY MERCY, O LORD, HELP ME UP." NUMBER FIVE, THAT'S

GOD WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU MERCY. REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU FEEL SELF

CONDEMNED. IN THE MULTITUDE OF MY THOUGHTS WITHIN ME, YOUR

COMFORTS DELIGHT MY SOUL. YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE'S

COMFORTING YOU. SO YOU CAN APPLY ALL OF THIS TO YOUR FINANCIAL

SITUATION, CAN YOU NOT? SHALL THE THRONE OF THE INIQUITY OF

INIQUITY HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU, WHICH FRAMES MISCHIEF BY

LAW? COME ON, THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE GAY MARRIAGE LEGAL

EVERYWHERE, OKAY? THEY'RE TRYING TO PUSH THIS AND MAKE LAWS THAT

PREVENT US. THIS IS WHY PASTOR AND I ARE SO BOLD IN THE PULPIT,

BECAUSE IF THEY, THERE ARE SOME THAT IF THEY HAD THEIR WAY, THEY

WOULD TAKE OUR LIBERTY TO PREACH THE UNCOMPROMISED WORD OF GOD

OUT OF THE PULPIT AND SAY, "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT.

THE LAW SAYS YOU CAN'T SAY THAT. YOU CAN'T SAY THIS." NO, WE HAVE

THE RIGHT GIVEN BY GOD ALMIGHTY TO PREACH HIS WORD, THE WHOLE

COUNSEL OF GOD. AND THAT INCLUDES THAT GOD MADE MALE AND

FEMALE. BUT THE LORD IS MY DEFENSE. HALLELUJAH. THAT'S THE

SEVENTH ONE. GOD WILL DEFEND YOU, RIGHT? VERSE 21, I SKIPPED

THAT, IT SAYS, "THEY'LL GATHER THEMSELVES AGAINST THE SOUL OF

THE RIGHTEOUS AND CONDEMN THE INNOCENT BLOOD, BUT THE LORD

DEFENDS US." SO REMEMBER, GOD WILL DEFEND YOU. YOU BE A LIGHT.

LOOK WHAT GOD DID FOR BLAKE. HE WAS A LIGHT. SO BE A LIGHT IN

THIS SEASON. AND I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE YOU WITH THAT FOR YOUR

GIVING TODAY. YOU CAN TAKE THOSE SEVEN, REST, GOD KEEPING YOU,

GOD JUSTICE, HELP, HIS MERCY, HIS COMFORT, AND HIS DEFENSE ALL

OVER YOUR FINANCES. AND KNOW THAT WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR TITHES

AND YOUR OFFERINGS, GOD WILL DO THOSE THINGS FOR YOU. GOD IS

FAITHFUL. ISN'T THAT GOOD? ALL RIGHT, WELL, PUT THE GIVING

INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN AND LET'S GIVE INTO PURPOSE TODAY.

GIVE INTO PURPOSE AS A TITHER, AS A SOWER, AS A PERSON THAT

GIVES OFFERINGS. BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR HELPING US

CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR GENERAL AND PENTECOST FUND AS WE GET

READY TO TALK ABOUT SHILOH. THOSE THINGS ARE STILL IN THE

WORKS AND PASTOR DOUG IS WORKING ON A FEW THINGS BEHIND THE

SCENES. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE OWNERS AND SO CONTINUE FOLKS. WE

NEED YOUR GIVING TO HELP US GET READY FOR THAT RETREAT SITE.

WE'RE GOING TO GET IT DONE. WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT PROPERTY

PURCHASED. SO, AND WE'LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE

WEEKS TO COME. THE WAYS TO GIVE, TEXT TO GIVE, MOBILE APP, THE

WEBSITE, ENVELOPE, OR SCAN THE QR CODE. IF YOU'VE NOT

DOWNLOADED THE CHURCH APP, THOSE OF YOU HERE OR THOSE JOINING IN

ONLINE, DO THAT. IT'S A FAST AND EASY WAY TO GIVE. AND THIS IS A

GOOD TIME TO INVEST YOUR FINANCES IN GOD'S PURPOSES. COME

ON, INVEST IN A CHURCH THAT'S BEING PULLED FROM THE PULPIT TO

TALK ABOUT WHAT'S TRUE AND COUNTER THE FALSE. THIS IS A

TIME TO DO THAT. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE IN CHURCH. YOU KNOW,

THEY'RE GOING TO PRIDE EVENTS, FILLING STADIUMS FOR EVIL

THINGS. WE NEED TO FILL THE HOUSES OF WORSHIP IN THIS SEASON

AND TAKE BACK WHAT THE ENEMY HAS TRIED TO DO. AMEN. STAND UP ON

YOUR FEET AS YOU GET READY TO GIVE. FATHER, HOLD UP YOUR

OFFERING REAL HIGH. LET'S ALL STAND TOGETHER. FATHER, I THANK

YOU FOR EVERY GIVER UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE. THANK YOU FOR

THEIR FAITHFULNESS, LORD. WE AGREE THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON

WILL RECEIVE, EVEN AS PASTOR TALKED ABOUT, THE BENEFITS, THE

BLESSINGS. FATHER, IN THE MIDST OF AN EVIL DAY, THIS SEED, THIS

GIFT, YOU SAID, JESUS, IN MATTHEW 6, THAT MOTH AND RUST

CANNOT CORRUPT IT. SO WE THANK YOU. THIS GOES INTO THE PURPOSES

OF THE GOSPEL, THAT LIFE WILL BE SHOWN IN THIS GENERATION. AND WE

THANK YOU THAT WE RECEIVE THE HARVEST OF BLESSING FROM IT IN

JESUS' NAME. ALL RIGHT, YOU READY TO DO OUR DECREE? ALL

RIGHT, LET'S HAVE THE SHILOH PROPERTY IN OUR MIND WHEN WE

DECLARE IT. YOU READY? ALL RIGHT, WE DECLARE THE CAMPUS AND

MINISTRY OF LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH SHALL BE INCREASED, EXPANDED,

AND DEBT-FREE. WE DECREE IT SHALL HAPPEN WITHOUT DELAY. WE

SAY TO EVERY HEAVENLY ASSIGNMENT, BE BUILT UP AND

FINISH. WE SAY THAT WE HAVE ALL THE FINANCES NEEDED FOR THE LORD

IS BUILDING THIS HOUSE. WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EXCESS AND

OVERFLOW. LORD, YOU ARE PROVIDING SEED TO THE SOWER. WE

CALL UPON YOU, LORD OF HOSTS, TO BRING FORTH HEAVENLY ASSISTANCE

AND RAISE UP MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT SHALL GIVE

ABUNDANTLY TO THIS WORK. WE PROPHESY THAT WE WILL QUADRUPLE,

QUADRUPLE, AND THEN WE WILL QUADRUPLE AGAIN. WE DECLARE NEW

THINGS NOW. COME ON, THAT'S COMING OVER YOUR LIFE. WE DECREE

MINISTRY AND CAMPUS BE EXPANDED NOW. GIVE GOD A GREAT BIG SHOUT

AND WELCOME PASTOR HANK. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) GOD

BLESS YOU. YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED. THANK YOU ALSO THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING FOR YOUR GIVING AS WELL. AND THOSE

OF YOU IN HERE, LET'S KEEP IT MOVING. I MEAN, I AM SO EXCITED

ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR US AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR

GIVING. IT REALLY, REALLY HELPS. AND THEN OF COURSE, WE'RE GONNA

BE CALLING ON YOU WHEN THE TIME IS THAT WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD

ON GETTING THAT PROPERTY PURCHASED AND PAID FOR AND ALL

OF THAT, SO IT'S REALLY, REALLY EXCITING. I WILL SAY THIS AS THE

USHERS ARE SERVING YOU, TUESDAY'S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY.

I INVITED MY SWEETHEART TO COME IN AND FILM SOME GET REAL WITH

HANK. SO SHE'S NEVER BEEN ON AS MY GUEST. BRENDA, YOU KNOW,

THERE MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, A FEW OTHER PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE

THERE, YOU KNOW, LIKE. NO COSTUMES, SHE SAID, NO COSTUMES.

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA, SO WE'LL ALSO PROBABLY DO A FACEBOOK THAT

DAY TOO, SO WE'LL PROBABLY GREET YOU LIKE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AND

THEN, WHAT ELSE ARE WE GONNA DO, BRENDA? I THINK, OH, I GOT

ELIJAH STREAMS, I'LL BE DOING THAT, AND THEN FLASHPOINT IN THE

EVENING. OH, AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE ON WITH KENT AND CANDY

CHRISTMAS ON THEIR PODCAST. SO IT'S GONNA BE A BUSY TUESDAY, SO

I APPRECIATE YOUR PRAYERS, BUT IT'LL KINDA GET YOU AN IDEA OF

WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING. SO, OKAY, I THINK WE'RE READY TO

ROLL. ALL RIGHT, I WANT YOU TO GO TO ISAIAH CHAPTER 43. THAT'S

Isaiah 43 · chapter mention

KINDA BEEN OUR BASIS OF WHAT WE FEEL GOD HAS BEEN SAYING TO US.

HOW MANY WERE HERE ON WEDNESDAY FOR TONY SUAREZ? WASN'T THAT

FANTASTIC? IF YOU WATCHED, LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS AS WELL.

BUT HE TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING. AND

HE TALKED ABOUT MEN WALKING HIS TREES. AND HE BASED IT ON THE

STORY ABOUT THE BLIND MAN THAT JESUS LED OUT OF THE CITY. YOU

REMEMBER THAT? AND HE ANOINTED HIS EYES, THE MAN BEGAN TO SEE,

AND HE BEGAN TO SEE MEN WALKING HIS TREES, THINGS THAT HE HAD

NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND SO THAT WAS THE BASIS OF HIS MESSAGE IS

WE'RE ENTERING INTO A TIME OF THINGS THAT WE'VE NEVER SEEN

BEFORE. AND AGAIN, WE GOTTA ENTER IN, WE GOTTA LEARN HOW TO

ENTER IN. I AM GONNA PREACH THAT MESSAGE. THAT REALLY HIT ME

DURING COMMUNION, MAN. I FELT LIKE THE LORD WAS CORRECTING ME

A LITTLE BIT IN A GOOD WAY, IF I COULD SAY THAT. YOU KNOW, THE

FATHER'S A GOOD GOD, BUT I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING CHALLENGED AS I

WAS DELIVERING THAT TO YOU. SO, YOU KNOW, LET THAT BE SOMETHING

THAT CHALLENGES YOU. LET'S ENTER IN. LET'S BE A CHURCH THAT

ENTERS INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD. YOU KNOW, LET ME JUST SAY THIS

AS YOU'RE OPENING YOUR BIBLES OR LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE OR

WHATEVER, BUT YOU KNOW, I USED TO TRAVEL A LOT MORE THAN I DO

NOW. AND THAT'S HOW I FIRST STARTED THE MINISTRY. AND I

WOULD GO TO CHURCHES AND IT DIDN'T MATTER IF THEY HAD THE

WORST MUSIC EVER. AND BELIEVE ME, THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM

THAT, OH MY GOODNESS, I DON'T KNOW. I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE A

HARD TIME GOING TO THE CHURCH IF I LIVED IN THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT?

IT WAS JUST HORRIBLE PRAISE, HORRIBLE WORSHIP. I MEAN, THE

GUY THOUGHT HE COULD PLAY THE GUITAR AND HE COULDN'T OR

SOMEBODY THOUGHT THEY COULD SING AND THEY COULDN'T. HAVE YOU EVER

BEEN TO CHURCHES LIKE THAT? IT'S JUST, YEAH, YEAH. BUT I WOULD

ENTER IN ANYWAY. AND I ALWAYS, AND THEN I STARTED, THEN WHAT

HAPPENED IS I USED TO THINK TO MYSELF, MAN, IF I EVER HAVE MY

OWN CHURCH, GOD, HERE I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE I WAS GONNA PASTOR.

AND I'D SAY TO THINGS, I'D LOOK UP AS I'D WORSHIP, THINKING THIS

IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING. GOD, I KNOW YOU DON'T EVEN PROBABLY

THINK IT'S THE GREATEST, BUT YOU'RE HONORING THEIR HEART,

RIGHT? AND I WOULD SIT THERE AND I WOULD GO, GOD, WHEN I HAVE MY

OWN CHURCH SOMEDAY, IF I HAVE MY OWN CHURCH, I JUST WANT A PLACE

WHERE PEOPLE DON'T, 'CAUSE I WOULD LOOK AROUND, PEOPLE WOULD

JUST BE STANDING THERE LIKE THIS. THE GUY'S PLAYING HIS

HEART OUT, HE CAN'T PLAY. THE LADY'S SINGING HER HEART OUT,

SHE CAN'T SING, AND PEOPLE ARE JUST STANDING THERE. AND I SAID

TO MYSELF, GOD, I DON'T WANT A CHURCH LIKE THAT. I WANT A

CHURCH WHERE PEOPLE WORSHIP. AND SO THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME

WHERE I STARTED TRAVELING AND DOING CONFERENCES WITH OTHER

PREACHERS. AND I NOTICED SOMETHING, AND I DON'T LIKE IT

EVEN IN OUR CHURCH, WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS,

IT'S TOO MUCH TALKING AND INTERACTION WHILE OTHERS AROUND

YOU ARE TRYING TO WORSHIP GOD. WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL. IT'S

NOT TIME TO GO AND BE LOUD WITH, YOU KNOW, HEY, I GOTTA GO TELL

MY FRIEND SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, I HADN'T SEEN HIM FOR A WEEK.

WELL, TELL HIM AFTERWARDS. SAME WITH ME ON THE FRONT ROW. I

DON'T LIKE TO BE BOTHERED TOO MUCH BECAUSE I WANNA ENTER IN.

AND REMEMBER THAT SOMETIMES YOU DON'T WANNA BE THE LOUDEST

PERSON IN YOUR SECTION, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE EXCITED FOR GOD.

IF YOU'RE THE MOST BOISTEROUS AND YOU'RE THE LOUDEST, YOU

MIGHT HINDER OTHERS FROM ENTERING IN. SO YOU SHOULD

ALWAYS LEARN A PRINCIPLE IN CORPORATE WORSHIP. TRY TO ENTER

IN AND KEEP THE SAME FLOW. I'M A VERY EXUBERANT WORSHIPER, BUT

WHEN I WOULD GO TO OTHER PEOPLE'S CHURCHES, I DIDN'T SIT

THERE AND BE THE LOUDEST ONE. I ENTERED IN, BUT STAYED AT THE

LEVEL OF WHAT WAS WITHIN THE HOUSE. VERY IMPORTANT,

ESPECIALLY TODAY, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY

AROUND THE WORLD, YOU DON'T NEED SOME GUY RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE

AUDIENCE MIC BEING THE LOUDEST, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN HEAR WHAT

THEY'RE SINGING. SO IT'S JUST STUFF WE'VE GOTTA LEARN. BUT I

WOULD WATCH PREACHERS. AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING, IF

YOU'RE A PREACHER WATCHING TODAY, I GET SO GRIEVED AT THE

LACK OF PREACHERS WHO WORSHIP GOD TODAY. I'VE BEEN TO OTHER

PEOPLE'S CHURCHES AND THE PASTOR NEVER LIFTS HIS HANDS, NEVER

WORSHIPS. OKAY, THE PASTOR'S MEETINGS, I'VE BEEN TO THEM AND

THEY ALL STAND AROUND AND THEY'RE WORSHIPING AND THEY'RE

DOING THIS. AND SO ONE DAY I WENT TO GOD AND I SAID, GOD, I'M

NOT TRYING TO CORRECT EVERYBODY ELSE. I WANNA LOOK AT, LOOK AT

ME. HOW CAN I BE A BETTER PASTOR? AND THE LORD BROUGHT

THIS BACK UP TO ME WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT ENTERING IN. MAN, I

DON'T KNOW WHY I'M GOING OFF ON MY MESSAGE. HE SAID, HE REMINDED

ME OF SOMETHING THAT I HAD ASKED HIM YEARS AGO. HOW CAN I DO

BETTER? AND HE TOOK ME TO A SCRIPTURE ABOUT MOSES. AND DO

YOU REMEMBER MOSES WAS THE PASTOR? AND HE WOULD GO AND

ENTER INTO HIS OWN LITTLE PRAYER TENT. AND GOD WOULD MEET WITH

HIM. SO THE FIRST THING THE LORD SHOWED ME IS, HANK, YOU HAVE TO

LEAD THE WAY. YOU HAVE TO LEAD THE WAY. YOU HAVE TO BE A PASTOR

THAT ENTERS IN. AND IT CAN'T JUST BE PUBLICLY. YOU HAVE TO

LEARN HOW TO ENTER IN OUTSIDE OF THE PULPIT IN YOUR EXPERIENCE

WITH GOD. AND SO I DO. I'M A MAN THAT ENTERS INTO BEING WITH GOD.

AND THEN WHEN I'M IN THIS HOUSE, I AM A MAN THAT WANTS TO LEAD BY

EXAMPLE. I'M NOT CONCERNED WHETHER YOU'RE WATCHING ME. I

DON'T CARE. I'M CONCERNED IF I'M TOUCHING HIM AND I'M ENTERING

IN. BUT WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS LOOK AT YOUR LEADERS AND IF

THEY'RE ENTERING IN, YOU SHOULD TOO. 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE

PEOPLE DID. THEY WOULD COME BY AND THEY WOULD WATCH THEIR

LEADER ENTER IN WITH GOD. AND THE BIBLE SAID THEY FELL ON

THEIR FACES. THE INSPIRATION OF OTHERS, WHETHER IT'S THE WORSHIP

TEAM UP HERE, PASTOR CHRISTY, SHE'S ENTERING IN AND IF WE'RE

NOT, IT'S NOT RIGHT. IF PEOPLE ARE LEADING US TO ENTER IN, WE

NEED TO ENTER IN. AND I'M SAYING THIS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THE

SPIRIT OF GOD WAS GRIEVED WITH US A LITTLE BIT TODAY. AND MAYBE

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MAYBE YOU GOT UP TOO MANY TIMES AND HAD

WAFFLES AND CHECKED YOUR EGGS AND YOU DIDN'T ENTER IN. WE

CAN'T PLAY GAMES WITH GOD. I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY. I AM AT THE

PLACE IN MY LIFE WHERE I'VE WORE THE T-SHIRTS, I'VE DONE IT, I'M

60 YEARS OF AGE. I WANT GOD AT ALL COSTS. AND I WANT PEOPLE TO

EXPERIENCE GOD. AND I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES FOR GOD TO COME, YOU

HAVE TO ENTER IN. PEOPLE USED TO GET MAD AT A MAN WITH A WHITE

SUIT CALLED BENNY HINN. BUT WHAT HE TAUGHT US IS HOW TO ENTER IN

SO THAT IT ACTIVATES THE SUPERNATURAL DIMENSION. YOU

KNOW, I'M TIRED OF TOO MANY PEOPLE WE CALL FOR HEALING

LINES, AND HALF THE CHURCH COMES UP. WE'RE NOT ENTERING IN

SOMEWHERE, EITHER IN OUR PRIVATE TIME, OR IN OUR CHURCH SERVICES,

THAT BRINGS THE DIMENSION OF GOD THAT THERE'S NOT ONE SICK. NOT

ONE PERSON WALKS OUT AND THEN GOES BACK TO THEIR BOUND SIN. WE

HAVE TO ENTER IN. I'M ASKING US TO REALLY TAKE THAT SERIOUS

GOING FORWARD. LET'S CHALLENGE OURSELF NEXT SUNDAY THAT WE ARE

GOING TO BE A CHURCH OF WORSHIP, CHURCH OF PRAISE. AND I MEAN

THAT FOR YOU, E-MEMBERS. GET RID OF THE DISTRACTIONS. IF YOU'RE

GONNA BE AN E-MEMBER AND YOU'RE GONNA ENTER INTO WORSHIP,

THEN DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND I KNOW MANY OF YOU

ARE PROBABLY WRITING COMMENTS, I DO PASTOR HANK.

OKAY, WELL THEN I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.

BUT I'M CHALLENGING YOU TO GO DEEPER TOO.

HOW ABOUT OUR BIBLES? HOW MANY HAVE A BIBLE?

I'M NOT GONNA LOOK. I'M NOT GONNA LOOK.

HOW MANY OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ME TODAY,

DO YOU HAVE A BIBLE? YOU'RE NOT ENTERING IN.

WELL, YOU PUT THE SCRIPTURES UP ON THE SCREEN.

DON'T DEPEND ON THAT.

ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION, THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T HAVE A BIBLE

RIGHT NOW IN YOUR HAND. HOW MUCH DO YOU ENTER IN DURING

THE WEEK? MAYBE WHY YOU DIDN'T THINK TO BRING YOUR BIBLE. I

THINK THE CHURCH, I'VE BEEN SERVING GOD FOR 40 YEARS, SINCE

1984, 42 YEARS. AND BACK WHEN I GOT SAVED IN 1984, EVERYBODY HAD

A BIBLE COVER, AND YOU TRIED TO OUTDO THE OTHER GUY TO HAVE THE

BEST LOOKING BIBLE COVER. YOU HAD TO HAVE OSTRICH OR GOOSE OR

ALLIGATOR, RIGHT? AND YOU HAD THE BIGGEST ONE, YOU KNOW,

REMEMBER THE CATHOLIC BIBLES WERE ALWAYS THE EIGHT FOOT TABLE

BY SIX FOOT, RIGHT? EVERYBODY BROUGHT THEIR BIBLE AND IT WAS

ALMOST EXPECTED. IF YOU WALKED INTO THE CHURCHES BACK IN THE

80S WITHOUT A BIBLE, YOU WERE CONSIDERED BACKSLID. HOW MANY

KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR

HEARTS. I THINK WE ALL TALK A BIG TALK, INCLUDING THIS

PREACHER, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, ARE WE REALLY ENTERING IN?

WE TALK, OH, REVIVAL'S HERE, THE GLORY'S HERE, BUT THEN WHAT ARE

WE DOING TO NAVIGATE IT, TO KEEP IT, TO INTENSIFY IT? WELL, I

HAVE MY PHONE PASS RING. CAN YOU ONE TIME JUST PUT THAT STUPID

THING DOWN? SERIOUSLY. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE MORE THAN ONE

PHONE OR ONE PHONE AND THEY'RE TOO ADDICTED AND THEY WONDER WHY

THEY NEVER HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD. I WANNA CHALLENGE US.

WE HAVE BIBLES IF YOU NEED ONE. START BRINGING A PHYSICAL BIBLE.

SEE IF IT, AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, DON'T JUST WAIT FOR

THE SCRIPTURES TO COME UP ON THE SCREEN. I WANNA CHALLENGE YOU.

I'M NOT BEING MEAN. I AM TALKING ON BEHALF OF THE HEART OF GOD

TODAY. 'CAUSE I FELT LIKE I TOLD YOU, I FELT LIKE I GOT A LITTLE

ADJUSTED AND CORRECTED, AND NOW I FELT LIKE SINCE HE DID IT AND

STARTED WITH ME FIRST, MY MANDATE FROM GOD NOW IS TO BE

HONORABLE, AS I'M JUDGING MYSELF, TO BRING THIS CHALLENGE

TO YOU. I WANT YOU AS AN E-MEMBER FROM THIS MOMENT

FORWARD, YOU START COMING AND ENTER INTO WORSHIP. YOU GET YOUR

BREAKFAST OVER, YOUR DONUTS, RIGHT? NOBODY IN HERE GETS

DONUTS AND ALL THE LUXURIES TO GET UP AND WALK ABOUT THE

KITCHEN. YOU NEED TO SIT AND ENTER IN. AND YOU NEED TO HAVE A

PHYSICAL BIBLE. AND IF I TURNED YOU OFF WITH WHAT I SAID, I'M

NOT YOUR PASTOR. 'CAUSE I'M GONNA TELL YOU THE TRUTH. AND

I'M GONNA LEAD THE WAY. OKAY? SO LET'S ENTER IN. LET'S, FROM THIS

MOMENT FORWARD, LET'S REALLY, REALLY, REALLY TURN IT UP. AND I

BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GONNA TURN IT UP ON HIS BEHALF. IS THAT

OKAY? ALL RIGHT, ISAIAH 43. LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURE. THIS IS VERY

POWERFUL. WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHY WE DON'T GET OUR PRAYERS

ANSWERED, RIGHT? "REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS. "DON'T EVEN

CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD." NOW, THAT'S THE FIRST THING, IS

TOO MUCH TIME IN THE PAST WILL KEEP YOU FROM YOUR PRESENT, KEEP

YOU FROM YOUR FUTURE. IF YOU SPEND ALL YOUR TIME, JESUS SAID,

LOOKING IN YOUR PAST, DWELLING ON THE PAST, HE SAID, YOU'RE NOT

FIT FOR THE KINGDOM IF YOU KEEP LOOKING BACK. YOU'VE GOT TO

HAVE, IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE IN A NEW SEASON, YOU NEED TO LOOK

FORWARD AND EMBRACE IT. REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS. IN OTHER

WORDS, WHY? WHY SHOULD WE NOT REMEMBER THE FORMER THINGS? WHY

SHOULD WE NOT EVEN CONSIDER IT? BECAUSE REMEMBER THE PRINCIPLE,

LET'S PUT UP PSALM 19, VERSE 14. WHY SHOULD WE NOT REMEMBER OR

Psalms 19:14

CONSIDER FORMER THINGS? ESPECIALLY THINGS THAT HURT YOU.

ESPECIALLY THINGS THAT DIDN'T GO YOUR WAY. ESPECIALLY TIMES WHEN

IT LOOKED LIKE YOUR ANSWERS TO PRAYERS NEVER HAPPENED. OR ALL

THE TIMES YOU'RE WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING

AND WAITING AND WAITING AND WANTING AND WANTING AND WANTING

AND NOTHING'S HAPPENING. PSALM 19 SAYS, THIS IS THE KEY, AND

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY, ALSO THOSE OF YOU IN THE ROOM,

LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE

ACCEPTABLE IN YOUR SIGHT, ALL RIGHT? TWO PRINCIPLES HE JUST

TAUGHT US OF HOW TO CONNECT TO GOD, HOW TO ENTER IN, HOW TO GET

THINGS TO BEGIN TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE. NUMBER ONE, THE WORDS

OF YOUR MOUTH. WHAT ARE YOU SPEAKING? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? A

LOT OF THAT IS BASED ON THE SECOND PRINCIPLE, WHAT YOU THINK

ABOUT, WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON. WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT, WHAT YOU

MEDITATE ON, IF YOU DO IT IN ABUNDANCE, IT'S GOING TO AFFECT

YOUR WORDS. IT'S GONNA AFFECT YOUR MOUTH. IT'S GONNA COME OUT

OF YOUR HEART. LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAID IN LUKE CHAPTER SIX,

VERSE 45. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO ISAIAH 43. WATCH WHAT

JESUS SAID. THIS IS A POWERFUL PRINCIPLE. A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE

GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGS FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD.

AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGS

FORTH THAT WHICH IS EVIL. ALL RIGHT, NOW HE'S TELLING YOU, A

GOOD MAN WHO HAS A GOOD HEART BRINGS FORTH GOOD THINGS. AN

EVIL MAN OUT OF HIS HEART, HIS HEART IS EVIL, BRINGS FORTH EVIL

THINGS. WHAT IS IT BASED ON? WELL, IT'S BASED ON A LOT OF

TIMES WHAT WE SEE. OH, THAT'S A GOOD PERSON, THAT'S A REALLY BAD

PERSON. BUT REALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS WHAT THAT PERSON HAS

BEEN MEDITATING ON. AND THEN WHAT THAT PERSON CHOOSES TO

SPEAK. BECAUSE WHAT YOU SPEAK IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE. GOD, WHEN HE

SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT," HE DIDN'T JUST THROW THOSE WORDS

OUT THERE. HE BELIEVED THAT WHEN HE SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT,"

IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU PRAY THAT

YOU'RE GONNA GET AN ANSWER? IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IT OR ASK,

"GOD, WHEN, WHY?" WAIT A MINUTE, YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IT. YOU

HAVE TO BELIEVE. AND IF YOU BELIEVE, AND YOU BELIEVE THAT

YOU RECEIVED, YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH ALIGNED WITH WHAT YOU

PRAYED. IF YOU ASK GOD TO HEAL YOU, TO TAKE THAT PAIN AWAY,

THEN DON'T ALTER IT WITH YOUR WORDS. DON'T ALTER IT IN YOUR

MIND. YEAH, BUT THE PAIN IS STILL THERE AND THE SYMPTOM,

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU MEDITATING ON? ARE YOU

MEDITATING ON THE FACT IT LOOKS LIKE IT DIDN'T WORK? ALWAYS

REMEMBER, FROM THE MOMENT YOU RELEASE SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR

MOUTH TO THE TIME YOU SEE IT, THERE IS A SPACE, THERE'S A

TIME. SOUND ALWAYS COMES BEFORE IT MANIFESTS. LET THERE BE

LIGHT. THEN THERE WAS LIGHT. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR THAT LIGHT

TO MANIFEST? I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS MOVING AT ONE BILLION OR

WHATEVER. A HUNDRED AND HOW MUCH? A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY,

OKAY, SO LET ME SAY IT WITHOUT. MY 186,000 MILES PER SECOND,

THOUSAND MILES PER SECOND, 186,000 MILES PER SECOND. DO YOU

BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE A MANIFESTATION WHEN YOU PRAY? A

LOT OF TIMES THE ENEMY WILL GET YOU TO MEDITATE ON, OH, SEE,

IT'S NOT WORKING. YOU HADN'T RECEIVED IT IN 30 DAYS. OH, YOU

DIDN'T RECEIVE IT IN A YEAR. OH, YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE IT, HOW IT'S

BEEN YEARS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING ABOUT IT AND STILL NOT

SEEING ANYTHING. WAIT A MINUTE, ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION BASED

ON PSALM 19, 14, HOW MUCH NOW ARE YOU FOCUSING ON THAT IT'S

NOT COME TO PASS, IT'S NOT COMING TO PASS, WHAT ARE YOU

DOING WRONG, WHAT DID I DO WRONG, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO

RATHER THAN WHAT YOU PRAYED AND WHAT YOU'RE EXPECTING FOR? SO IT

STARTS COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. PUT UP LUKE 6, VERSE 45,

Luke 6:45

HERE'S WHY. HERE'S HOW AN EVIL MAN CONTINUES TO GET EVIL

BECAUSE THEY KEEP WHAT JESUS SAID OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF

YOUR HEART. WHATEVER YOU KEEP PUTTING INTO YOUR LIFE, WHATEVER

YOU KEEP PUTTING INTO YOUR MIND, YOU WILL BECOME. IT WILL BECOME

YOU BECAUSE YOU'LL START SPEAKING IT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

AND THAT'S HOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE WORLD WAS MADE. THIS

WORLD WAS MADE. IT SAYS THE WORLD WAS FRAMED. IT WAS MADE BY

THE WORDS OF HIS POWER. YOUR WORLD, YOU ARE FRAMING YOUR

PRESENT MOMENT AND YOU'RE FRAMING YOUR FUTURE BY THE

ABUNDANCE OF WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON THAT GETS DOWN IN YOUR HEART

THAT EVENTUALLY COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. SO LIKE I SAID LAST

WEEK, IT'S NOT JUST THAT SOMETHING FLIES OUT OF YOUR

MOUTH. I'VE HAD MARRIED COUNSELING WHERE I DID MORE OF

IT. THANK YOU, PASTOR DOUG, YOU DO MORE OF IT AND PASTOR KEITH

AND EVERYTHING. I REMEMBER THOSE YEARS WHEN I DID MORE AND THE

SPOUSE WOULD BE UPSET. OH, HE SAID HE WANTED A DIVORCE. AND

THE BIBLE SAYS, "OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR HEART, "THE

MOUTH SPEAKS AND HE SAID IT." AND I KNOW HE MEANS IT, AND THE

GUY'S GOING, "NO, I DIDN'T REALLY MEAN IT, I WAS TICKED."

"NO, YOU SAID OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND I'M HOLDING YOU TO THE

SCRIPTURE." AND IT USED TO ALWAYS BOTHER ME 'CAUSE I WOULD

BE SITTING THERE GOING, "WELL, YEAH, DUDE, YOU SAID IT, SO, YOU

KNOW, IT CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, AND IT MUST BE IN YOUR HEART."

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE. HAVE YOU EVER SAID SOMETHING

STUPID OUT OF YOUR MOUTH? BELIEVE ME, I WENT BACK AND

LISTENED TO MY TAPES SOMETIMES. OKAY, THERE'S THINGS I SAID, AND

THERE'S THINGS I'VE SAID EVEN IN THE PRESENT MOMENT AT TIMES, AND

I'M LIKE, I WISH I SAID THAT, RIGHT? WASN'T IN MY HEART, I

JUST DIDN'T USE WISDOM. I DIDN'T THINK, OR I'VE SAID THINGS, YOU

KNOW, THAT I REGRETTED IN TRAFFIC. LOOK AT WHAT JESUS

SAID, LUKE 6, VERSE 40. OH, STOP, LIKE, YOU'RE ALL SO HOLY.

Luke 6:40

STOP. HEY, TRAFFIC, STOP. IF THAT STOPS, SO THAT WAS A

TRAFFIC PRINCIPLE, STOP. OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE, JUST BECAUSE THAT

DUDE IN THE MARRIAGE COUNSELING MEETING SAID ONE TIME OUT OF HIS

MOUTH HE WANTED A DIVORCE AND NOW THE LADY'S UPSET AND HAD TO

COME IN FOR COUNSELING 'CAUSE SHE THINKS IT'S OVER AND IT'S IN

HIS HEART 'CAUSE HE SAID IT. NO, HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MAD BECAUSE

YOU DON'T CLEAN THE HOUSE. OR YOU ALWAYS NAG AT HIM. I DON'T

KNOW, I'M JUST USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE. MAYBE THE SHOE FITS

SOMEWHERE. OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART. SO IF YOU KEEP

MEDITATING ON IT, YOU KEEP THINKING, WELL, YOU KNOW, MY

WIFE'S THIS, MY WIFE'S THAT, MY HUSBAND'S THIS, MY HUSBAND'S

THAT, OR YOU THINK THAT LADY WHATEVER IS THE BETTER WOMAN FOR

YOU AND YOU KEEP MEDITATING UPON IT, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE

GONNA SPEAK IT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. YOU'RE GONNA ASK THAT

PERSON TO DO SOMETHING THAT VIOLATES YOUR MARRIAGE COVENANT.

JUST KEEP PACKING IT ON, PACKING IT IN. THAT'S HOW JESUS SAID,

THE EVIL PEOPLE, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, MAN. THEY JUST KEEP

ABUNDANTLY SINNING, ABUNDANTLY JUST PACKING ON MORE AND MORE

EVIL, AND EVENTUALLY IT DEFINES THEM. YOUR WORLD IS MADE,

FRAMED. PSALM 19, PUT IT BACK UP. VERSE 14, YOUR PRAYER LIFE

IS DEFINED BY THESE TWO PRINCIPLES. THE WORDS OF YOUR

MOUTH, WHAT ARE YOU SPEAKING? AND WHAT ARE YOU MEDITATING ON?

SOMETIMES WHAT YOU'RE MEDITATING ON ISN'T REALLY THE TRUTH. THE

ENEMY ALWAYS TRIES TO GET YOU TO MEDITATE ON THE WRONG THING.

JESUS WAS HUNGRY IN THE WILDERNESS, AND WHAT DID HE DO?

HE SAID, "HEY MAN, TURN THESE STONES TO BREAD. "LET ME ALTER

YOUR APPETITE." THAT'S WHAT HE DOES, HE ALTERS OUR APPETITE.

RIGHT, GETS US TO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, HAVING SUNDAYS OFF IS

BETTER THAN ENTERING INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, WHETHER IT BE

ONLINE OR IN PERSON. YOU GET A TASTE OF IT, YOU START

MEDITATING, OH, OH, THE SUMMER'S HERE, ESPECIALLY US IN THE

NORTH. AH, I GOTTA GO AND GET MY BOAT, GOTTA GO FISHING. OH, WE

GOTTA GO CAMPING. OH, I GOTTA LAY AROUND THE POOL. OH, I GOTTA

HAVE SUNDAYS OFF. YOU START MEDITATING ON IT. BEFORE YOU

KNOW IT, IT'S GONNA DEFINE YOU. YOU'RE GONNA START SPEAKING, AH,

I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA GO TO CHURCH TODAY. I NEED A BREAK.

COME ON, I'M TALKING TRUTH TO EVERY ONE OF US, INCLUDING ME.

LET THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH AND WHAT YOU MEDITATE UPON BE

ACCEPTABLE ON THE SIDE OF GOD. IT HAS TO BE. GO BACK TO ISAIAH

43. LOOK AT VERSE 18. REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS. WELL, HOW

DO YOU REMEMBER IT? YOU MEDITATE ON IT. MEDITATE ON THAT FORMER

GIRLFRIEND, FORMER BOYFRIEND, FORMER JOB, FORMER CHURCH WAS

BETTER THAN THIS CURRENT ONE I'M GOING TO. (CONGREGATION

LAUGHING) RIGHT? FORMER THINGS, FORMER THINGS. DON'T EVEN

CONSIDER IT, BUT YET WE TALK ABOUT IT. WE TALK ABOUT IT.

COMES OUT OF OUR MOUTH. AND WHAT IT'S DOING IS, WATCH THIS, THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, IT'S FRAMING YOUR WORLD, AND YOU ARE

THE PROPHET OF YOUR OWN LIFE. YOU WONDER WHY YOU'RE NOT

PROFITING. WHAT ARE YOU MEDITATING ON? YOU KNOW, OH, I'M

SO SCARED. WELL, BECAUSE YOU WATCH CSI MIAMI, NEW YORK, LOS

ANGELES, HOUSTON, CSI, WEEPING WILLOW, NEBRASKA, YOU KNOW.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) AND YOU WONDER WHY YOU'RE SCARED. YOU

WONDER WHY YOU DON'T GO OUT. 'CAUSE YOU'RE MEDITATING ON IT.

YOU'RE MEDITATING ON MURDER. SO YOU'RE SCARED THAT YOU'RE GONNA

GET MURDERED. OH, I JUST DON'T LIKE TO DRIVE. BECAUSE YOU'RE

LISTENING TO EVERY TIME THAT YOU MEDITATE, YOU OPEN UP. YOU KNOW,

I HAVE TO BYPASS, WHEN I WANNA SEE WHAT THE LOCAL WEATHER IS, I

HAVE TO BYPASS THE MAIN PAGE, 'CAUSE MOST EVERY DAY, THERE'S

SOMETHING ABOUT AN ACCIDENT. OR A SHOOTING. OMAHA'S SO UNSAFE.

I'M NOT GOING OUT. I'M NOT GOING TO THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES,

IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. WHAT ARE YOU MEDITATING ON?

IF YOU MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT

HE'S DELIVERED YOU FROM WICKED AND UNREASONABLE MEN.

IF YOU MEDITATE ON THE BIBLE, THE BIBLE SAYS PSALM 91,

THAT YOU ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE WING

OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

THE LORD IS YOUR REFUGE, HE'S YOUR STRENGTH.

THOUSANDS FALL AT YOUR SIDE AND 10,000S AT YOUR RIGHT HAND.

THEY AIN'T COMING NEAR ME, "AIN'T COMING NEAR MY VEHICLE,

AIN'T COMING NEAR MY FAMILY."

WHAT ARE YOU MEDITATING ON?

YOU GOTTA JUST START SPEAKING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH

AND YOU START SETTING TERMS UP FOR YOUR LIFE.

RIGHT, START SETTING TERMS UP, ESPECIALLY ALL OF

YOU THAT HAVE BEEN IN A BROKEN RELATIONSHIP.

YOU'RE MEDITATING SO MUCH ON ALL,

WHAT WAS THAT SONG BY WILLIE NELSON?

TO ALL THE GIRLS I'VE LOVED BEFORE,

WHO CAME IN AND OUT MY DOOR...

I DEDICATE THIS SONG OF MEDITATING ON YOU ALL ALONG. NOW

IT'S COMING OUT OF MY SONG, THE WORDS IN MY MOUTH. AND NOW

THERE'S NO GIRL COMING IN MY DOOR ANYMORE. AND SO THEN THAT

SONG DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. SO NOW IT'S FEELINGS. EVERY

PERSON HAS HURT MY FEELINGS. FEELINGS IN MY LIFE. YOU'RE

MEDITATING ON WHY YOU CAN'T FIND LOVE. LET'S GO TO STEVE PERRY.

HIGHWAY RUN TO THE MID, I KNOW, HOW'S IT EVEN GO? TO THE

MIDNIGHT SUN. WHEELS GO ROUND AND ROUND IN MY MEDITATION OF MY

MIND. BUT OUT OF MY MOUTH, 'CAUSE I'M MEDITATING ON MY

BROKEN HEART IN YOU, I'M FOREVER YOURS. EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T

LIKE ME, YOU WON'T CALL ME, YOU WON'T TEXT ME. FAITHFULLY.

SOMEHOW, I JUST, I OWNED IT. THANK YOU, SON. I FEEL LIKE I'M

KIND OF RIGHT THERE IN SOME OF YOUR WORLDS. SHALL WE GO ON?

NOW, WHY AM I SAYING THIS? PLEASE, PUT IT BACK UP BECAUSE

THERE IS ANOTHER VERSE. OH, THANK YOU, I WAS READY TO CHECK

OUT ON THIS MESSAGE. OKAY, WATCH THIS. REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER,

LISTEN, I'VE DONE IT. I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT SONG CAME

OUT AND I HAD A FEW MOMENTS THAT I WAS LIKE, I'M FOREVER YOURS

FAITHFULLY. THANK GOD I'M NOT, I HAVE BRENDA. REMEMBER NOT THE

FORMER THINGS. DON'T EVEN MEDITATE ON IT, SPEAK ABOUT IT,

REHEARSE IT. RELIVE THE MOMENT. WHY? IF YOU DO, VERSE 19 CAN'T

HAPPEN. VERSE 19, BEHOLD, I WILL DO A NEW THING. NOW IT SHALL

SPRING FORTH. IF YOU WANT SOME NEW THINGS, IT'S CALLED ANSWER

TO PRAYER. 'CAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, IT MEANS WHEN IT

HAPPENS, IT'S A NEW THING. IT'S A GOOD THING. IT'S A NOW THING.

IT'S AN ANSWER TO PRAYER THING. NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH, AND

IT'S GONNA BE SO OBVIOUS. YOU'RE GONNA KNOW IT. BUT HOW DO YOU

GET TO THAT POINT OF THINGS MANIFESTING? PSALM 19, VERSE 14.

Psalms 19:14

WHAT ARE YOU MEDITATING ON? MEDITATE. COME ON. IF YOU'RE

SINGLE TODAY, MEDITATE ON NOT THE SCARS OF YOUR HEART. YOU

WANNA BE MARRIED AGAIN OR AT ALL? DON'T MEDITATE ON YOUR

SCARS, MEDITATE ON, THERE'S A SCAR RIGHT ON JESUS RIGHT HERE.

THERE'S A WOUND. WHY DID THEY PIERCE HIS SIDE? BECAUSE WHEN

GOD LOOKED AT ADAM AND SAID, "IT'S NOT GOOD THAT MAN BE LEFT

ALONE, "I THE LORD SHALL GRANT HIM AND FIND HIM HIS HELP ME."

I'LL GO, I'M GONNA MAKE A RIB FOR HIM. SHE WAS FROM THE SOUTH,

SHE WAS A SPARE RIB. AND IT'S THE HTL TRANSLATION, HANK,

TRANSLATION. ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S THAT? IT'S A RARE RIB.

SO WE DON'T WANT A WELL-DONE SPOUSE. WE WANT A

RARE, RARE, RARE, RARE, RARE RIB. THAT'S HARD TO SAY, IT'S

LIKE A TONGUE TWISTER. OKAY, THANK YOU, JANET. NOW, LET'S GET

BACK TO THE STORY. WHAT DID HE DO? HE OPENED HIS SIDE. JESUS IS

ON THE CROSS, PSALM 22, YOU CAN READ IT. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT

HE'S SINGING A SONG. HE'S SINGING ABOUT HIS CHURCH. JESUS

IS LITERALLY, HE'S RECORDING. IF WE BELIEVE THAT'S A MESSIANIC

PSALM, PSALM 22, YOU NEED TO READ IT BECAUSE JESUS THEN IS

SINGING FROM THE CROSS. HE'S MEDITATING ON YOU. HE'S

MEDITATING ON HIS CHURCH IN THE MIDST OF HIS SUFFERING. AND THEN

ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY OPEN HIS SIDE. WHY? OUT COMES HIS BRIDE.

OUT COMES HIS CHURCH. MEDITATE ON HIS WOUND AND OUT WILL COME

THE RIGHT SPOUSE IN THE RIGHT SEASON, THE RIGHT TIMING. I'M

SPEAKING TO SOMEBODY WATCHING ME. YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT, WHAT

ABOUT MY HEALING? SAME PRINCIPLE, MEDITATE ON HIS BACK.

THAT HAD LASHES. IF THEY DID IT ACCORDING TO 39 TIMES THAT HE

WAS WHIPPED, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LASHES THAT IS? 351 LASHES.

PSALM 129, VERSE THREE, "THE PLOWERS PLOWED MY BACK, MAKING

DEEP, LONG DEFERRALS." MEDITATE ON THAT AND THEN SPEAK IT OUT OF

YOUR MOUTH. BY HIS STRIPES, 351 LASHES, I AM AND I WAS HEALED.

IT'S ALREADY SETTLED. WELL, BUT PASTOR, I CAN'T WIN THE BATTLE

IN MY MIND. I CAN'T STOP MEDITATING ON THINGS THAT ARE

WRONG. WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE. HE HAD

THE CROWN OF THORNS ON HIS HEAD. THE BIBLE SAYS, LOOK AT JOSHUA

Joshua 1:9

1:9. "FAMILIAR SCRIPTURE," WHY DON'T WE HAVE SUCCESS IN OUR

THOUGHTS? WHY DON'T WE HAVE SUCCESS SOMETIMES WITH OUR

MOUTH? I KNOW PEOPLE THAT JUST LET ANYTHING FLY OUT OF THEIR

MOUTH. AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, WELL, I'M JUST THAT KIND OF

PERSON. I SPEAK MY MIND. WELL, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM. AND IT WILL

BE YOUR PROBLEM IF YOU CONTINUE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND. BECAUSE YOU

SPEAKING YOUR MIND ARE SHOWING ALL THE ABUNDANT THINGS THAT

YOU'VE BEEN MEDITATING ON THAT HAS DEFINED YOU AS A PERSON WHO

SPEAKS THEIR MIND THAT ALSO HAS PROBLEMS. I FEEL LIKE DR. PHILIP

HERE. YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT YOU

KNOW, YOU KNOW? OKAY. HAVE NOT, OKAY. HAVE I NOT COMMANDED THEE,

BE STRONG. OH, IS IT VERSE EIGHT? THANK YOU. HELPS TO

MEDITATE ON THE WORD, YOU KNOW IT'S WHAT IT IS. I DON'T KNOW

WHY I SAID VERSE NINE. THE BOOK OF, THIS BOOK OF THE LAW, OKAY,

THAT'S WHY YOU NEED A BIBLE. SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF YOUR,

WHAT? SOUNDS LIKE PSALM 119. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? MEDITATE ON IT.

WHOA, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW DO WE GET ANSWERS TO PRAYER? IT

JUST SHOWED YOU AGAIN. DON'T STOP SPEAKING THE WORD OF GOD

OUT OF YOUR MOUTH REGARDING WHAT YOU PRAYED. DON'T START ALTERING

HIS WORDS OR YOUR WORDS. YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE DO WHEN IT

COMES TO HEALING? THEY START ALTERING HIS WORD. WELL, GOD

HEALS SOME AND NOT OTHERS. THAT'S YOUR BELIEF. I'VE TRIED.

I'VE PRAYED. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I'VE HAD PEOPLE SAY THAT TO ME.

I'LL SAY, WELL, DID YOU PRAY ABOUT IT? YEAH, BUT IT IS WHAT

IT IS. WELL, MR. IS WHAT IT IS IS WHY IT IS. AND WHY IT WILL

ALWAYS BE IF YOU KEEP IT UP. AND WHY IT WON'T BE, MR. IS WHAT IT

IS. HOW MANY EVER MET SOME IS WHAT IT IS? IT IS WHAT IT IS. I

HAVE PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT AMERICA. WELL, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

NO, IT AIN'T. WHICH MY HEAVENLY PROPHETIC HUNCH SAYS TO ME, THEY

ARE STEALING THE GOVERNOR AND THE MAYOR RACE IN CALIFORNIA.

IT'S VERY OBVIOUS, OKAY? TAKES YOU THAT LONG TO COUNT VOTES.

AND THEN, MAN, THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WANT AND THE PEOPLE YOU

DON'T WANT, THEY'RE GAINING ON THE PEOPLE YOU DON'T WANT. AND

THE PEOPLE YOU DON'T WANT, IT'S LIKE THEY HARDLY EVER CHANGE THE

TALLY AMOUNT OF THE VOTES WITH 10% MORE COUNTED. HMM. MY

HEAVENLY PROPHETIC HUNT SAYS THEY'RE GONNA STEAL IT. BUT I

THINK THERE'S ENOUGH RED OF INDIGNATION THAT THAT THING IS

GOING TO BE EXPOSED AND IT'S GOING TO BRING SOME KIND OF

RESET TO CALIFORNIA THAT IS GOING TO AFFECT THEIR GOVERNMENT

AND THEIR GOVERNOR, THEIR MAYOR RACE. AND I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S

ALSO GOING TO BRING SOME KIND OF ACTION THAT IS GOING TO BRING A

SHAKEUP THAT IS GOING TO HELP NOT JUST RESET SOMETHING IN

CALIFORNIA, BUT IT'S GONNA RESET SOMETHING ACROSS THE NATION. AND

IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH THE LORD IS SAYING, I'M GONNA ALLOW IT TO

BE SEEN IN FRONT OF, SO OBVIOUS IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, SO THAT

IT NOW CAN BRING THE NEXT STEP OF REFORMATION, RESETTING AND

ACCOUNTABILITY AND ACTION. ANYWAY, WHATEVER THAT IS ABOUT.

BUT ANYWAY, LET'S PUT UP VERSE EIGHT. THIS BOOK, WELL, IF YOU

DON'T HAVE THE BOOK IN FRONT OF YOU, AND LET ME JUST SAY THIS,

CAN I TELL YOU, I'M A WRITER. OKAY, I WRITE. AND I'M ALWAYS IN

FRONT OF MY COMPUTER AND I HATE IT. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD

SOMETIMES YOU GET DONE AT THE END OF THE DAY AND YOU'RE ON

YOUR LAPTOP AND YOU WALK AND YOU'RE HAVING TO LIKE NOW

STRETCH YOUR NECK 'CAUSE YOU FEEL THAT LITTLE THING BACK

THERE. IN FACT, I WAS TELLING BRENDA, I SAW THIS THING ON

AMAZON. IT'S THIS LITTLE, IT LOOKS LIKE A HAND AND IT GOES

LIKE THIS. AND I SAID, "BRENDA, I'M GONNA GET THAT THING FOR

EVERY TIME I'M WRITING." AND SHE GOES, "DON'T BRING THAT THING IN

THE HOUSE. THAT IS CREEPY." HOW MANY OF YOU, ANYBODY IN HERE,

I'D JUST LIKE FOR BRENDA TO HEAR THIS. DOES ANYBODY OR ONLINE, DO

YOU HAVE ONE? DO YOU LIKE IT? IT'S NOT CREEPY. DOES IT WORK? I

THINK YOU'VE CONVINCED BRENDA TO HAVE ME BUY ONE. IF YOU HAVE ONE

ONLINE, JUST PUT YOUR, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN IT? I MEAN, PEOPLE ARE

LOOKING AT THEIR PHONES RIGHT NOW. THEY JUST LOST, ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S LIKE THIS HAND IN IT. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE IT'S CALLED

THE CREEPER OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED. BUT

I WRITE A LOT. WHAT'S IT CALLED? THE THING? THAT EVEN

MAKES IT MORE CREEPIER, THE THING. MAN, I GREW UP WATCHING,

REMEMBER THAT GUY, IS DR. SANGUINARI THE CREATURE FEATURE

GUY? AND THEY HAD THE SWAMP THING, REMEMBER THE SWAMP THING,

MEANT LIKE FRANKENSTEIN, FRANKINCENSE, I MEAN ALL KINDS

OF DIFFERENT CREATURES. BUT ANYWAY, STAY WITH MY POINT.

HERE'S MY POINT. I WRITE A LOT. AND I NOTICE SOMETHING THAT

HAPPENS BECAUSE I START GETTING MORE EMAILS COMING IN AND STUFF.

I'M LIKE, I DON'T, OR TEXT MESSAGES. I'M LIKE, I DON'T EVEN

WANNA ANSWER ANOTHER TEXT MESSAGE. I DON'T WANNA ANSWER

ANOTHER EMAIL. I DON'T WANNA ANSWER ANOTHER CALL BECAUSE I'M

TIRED OF DEVICES. AND THEY SAY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO EVER GIVE

YOUR BRAIN A BREAK, YOU GOTTA GET OFF OF THAT STUFF. COME ON.

YEAH, YOU DO. YOU DO. SO THIS BOOK, GET A BOOK OUT, GET YOUR

BIBLE OUT, SHALL NOT DEPART, RIGHT, FROM YOUR MOUTH. YOU

GOTTA KEEP SPEAKING IT. SOME OF YOU NEED TO GET YOUR PRAYER

REQUESTS BACK OUT AND SAY, I PRAYED THIS, I AM STANDING. YOUR

WORD SAYS WHATSOEVER THINGS, FATHER, THAT I ASK YOU IN JESUS'

NAME, AND I BELIEVE THAT I RECEIVE, I'LL HAVE IT. AND SO I

HAVE IT, AND I THANK YOU, FATHER. AND I REAFFIRM THAT I

HAVE IT. I REAFFIRM MY FAITH TODAY. AND I THANK YOU, AND FROM

THIS MOMENT FORWARD, NOTHING WILL DEPART OUT OF MY MOUTH OF

NEGATIVITY, UNBELIEF, QUESTIONING, BUT FROM THIS

MOMENT FORWARD, THE ONLY THING THAT'S GONNA COME OUT OF MY

MOUTH REGARDING THIS PRAYER REQUEST IS, FATHER, I THANK YOU.

I THANK YOU, YOU'VE HEARD ME. I THANK YOU THAT THAT PRAYER

REQUEST IS NOW. I THANK YOU, FATHER, THAT I'M NOT EVEN

CONSIDERING FORMER TIMES WHEN I PRAYED AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I

THANK YOU, FATHER, I'M NOT EVEN CONSIDERING TIMES WHEN IT DIDN'T

LOOK LIKE IT WORKED. BUT FATHER, FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD,

ACCORDING TO ISAIAH 43, VERSE 19, I'VE ENTERED INTO A NEW

Isaiah 43:19

SEASON, AND THAT SEASON IS ANSWERED PRAYER. THAT SEASON IS

THE MANIFESTATION OF WHAT I'VE BEEN ASKING AND WHAT I ASK. SO I

THANK YOU FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD. IN FACT, I'M GONNA

MEDITATE ON IT, FATHER. I'M GONNA WATCH MYSELF, LITERALLY,

AS A HEALED PERSON. I'M GONNA SEE MYSELF WITHOUT MY CRUTCH,

WITHOUT MY CANE. I'M GONNA SEE MYSELF BEING ABLE TO HEAR OUT OF

MY RIGHT EAR. I'M GONNA SEE MYSELF WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO

WEAR GLASSES, WHERE I CAN SEE. FATHER, I SEE MYSELF. FATHER, I

SEE MYSELF. I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR A NEW JOB, AND I SEE MYSELF

AT, IF IT'S A DESK, AT A NEW JOB. I SEE MY PRODIGAL RETURNING

HOME AND ME KISSING THEIR NECK. I SEE MY SPOUSE THAT I'VE BEEN

PRAYING FOR SHOWING UP AT MY SIDE SUPERNATURALLY THAT

SURPRISES ME, THAT I LOOK OVER AND I SAY, WHOA, WHERE DID YOU

COME FROM? AND SHE WILL SAY, OH, I'VE BEEN IN YOUR PRAYERS ALL

ALONG, OR HE WILL SAY, I'VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG, BABY. AND SO,

COME ON. YOU SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? SEE YOURSELF IN

THAT NEW CAR, NOT IN THAT OLD THING THAT IS THE LOUDEST ONE IN

THE CHURCH PARKING LOT. NOT BECAUSE YOU TOOK OFF THE

MUFFLERS AND YOU HAD SUPERSIZED IT, BUT YOU GOT IT AT THE $40

CLUB. BY THE WAY, I GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETHING FUNNY. SO I WAS

COMING TO CHURCH RIGHT BY ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS HERE, AND I

SAW THIS SIGN. IT SAID, "G SALE." AND I LOOKED OVER AT

BRENDA AND I SAID, "LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION AS A WOMAN." I'M

ALMOST DONE, PASTOR DOUG. YOU CAN START HEADING THIS WAY. IS

THIS OKAY? SO I LOOKED AT THIS SIGN, "G SALE." AND I SAID,

"BRENDA, CAN I?" AND I WANT TO ASK THIS QUESTION OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING. I SAID, "AS A WOMAN, IF YOU SEE A SIGN THAT

SAYS G-SALE," I SAID, "OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE TALKING

ABOUT A GARAGE." I SAID, "DOES THAT ENTICE YOU TO GO TO THAT

PLACE?" SHE'S LIKE, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? "IF THEY CAN'T EVEN

SPELL THE WORD GARAGE, "IT MEANS THEY GOT A BUNCH OF JUNK." SO

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? HUH? WHAT WAS MY

POINT? HUH? DRIVING TO CHURCH, I GUESS, OH, WHAT YOU'RE

MEDITATING ON? I DON'T KNOW. YOU GOTTA SEE IT. START SEEING IT.

START SPEAKING IT, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME WITH

SHILOH, THE LAND, WHEN GOD TOLD ME TO WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT AND

WAIT. I JUST SAID TO THE LORD AT ONE POINT, I'M NOT EVEN GONNA

THINK ABOUT IT. AND THERE IS SOME TIMES, AGAIN, YOU DON'T

CONSIDER THE FORMER THINGS. WELL, THAT'S PART OF MEDITATING.

I'M NOT MEDITATING ON IT. YOU TOLD ME TO WAIT, SO I'M NOT EVEN

GONNA THINK ABOUT IT. AND AT ONE POINT I SAID, "LORD, I PRAYED

ABOUT IT. I TRUST YOU FOR IT, AND SO I'VE LEFT IT IN YOUR

HANDS." I'VE DONE THAT WITH MY CHILDREN'S BOOKS. I'M LIKE,

"GOD, I HAVE WORKED SO HARD ON THIS, AND IT HASN'T BECOME A

BESTSELLER YET, BUT I'M NOT GONNA MEDITATE ON THAT. I'M

GONNA MEDITATE THAT THIS THING WILL BECOME A WORLDWIDE

SENSATION, THAT THIS IS GONNA RECAPTURE A GENERATION FOR

KIDS." SEE, I'M SPEAKING TO MYSELF. RIGHT, EVERY ONE OF US

HAS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REDO. BUT LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS. THIS

BOOK OF THE LAW, DON'T LET IT STOP COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH,

BUT THOU SHALL MEDITATE, MEDITATE. THINK ON WHAT THE

BIBLE SAYS, WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOUR NEED. AND IF YOU DO THIS,

AND YOU DO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN, FOR THEN GOD WILL MAKE YOUR WAY

PROSPEROUS. WOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE AN ANSWER

TO PRAYER. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GONNA HAPPEN, AND YOU'RE

GONNA HAVE GOOD SUCCESS, OR YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ANSWER TO

PRAYER. SO THESE ARE THE WAYS TO DO IT. AND I JUST, I DON'T THINK

I SHOULD CONTINUE ON. I THINK WE CAN HIT SOME OF THESE OTHER

ONES. I HAVE SO MANY GOOD POINTS, BUT LET ME JUST SHOW YOU

ONE WHEN IT COMES TO THE WORDS OF OUR MOUTH. LET'S JUST DO

THAT. PROVERBS CHAPTER 13, LOOK AT VERSE THREE ABOUT THE WORDS

Proverbs 13 · chapter mention

OF YOUR MOUTH. I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MEDITATING, BUT LOOK AT

THIS SCRIPTURE. OKAY, HE THAT KEEPS HIS MOUTH KEEPS HIS LIFE.

WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE YOU'RE THE PROPHET OF YOUR OWN LIFE. YOUR

LIFE BECOMES WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON. YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER ONE

TIME I WENT INTO THIS REHAB PLACE THAT SOMEBODY, I THINK

THEY HAD GONE, YEAH, THEY'VE GONE HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD,

BUT THEY LIVE A LONG TIME. AND THEY WERE IN SOME REHAB PLACE.

AND I REMEMBER THEY CALLED ME AND I WENT IN THERE AND THEY

WERE FADING FAST. I MEAN, FAST. AND I'M LIKE, MAN, THIS PERSON

SPEAKS THE WORD. THIS PERSON LOVES THE LORD. THIS PERSON

ABSOLUTELY IS A PERSON OF FAITH. AND I SAID, GOD, THIS IS NOT

RIGHT. THIS IS A POWERFUL WOMAN OF GOD. SHE WAS A VERY POWERFUL

INTERCESSOR. AND I SAID, THIS IS NOT RIGHT, LORD. WHAT'S

HAPPENING IS SHE'S STILL GOT A LOT OF LIFE INTO HER. AND SO I

REMEMBER I WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM AND I WAS WALKING DOWN THE

HALL AND I SAID, NOW GOD, THIS IS NOT RIGHT. SOMETHING IS NOT

RIGHT HERE. AND I REMEMBER ASKING GOD, I SAID, GOD, THERE'S

GOT TO BE A WISDOM. WHAT IS THE WISDOM TO CONNECT THIS PERSON

BACK TO THEIR FAITH? AND I HEARD THE LORD SAY, "GATHER HER FAMILY

AND TELL THEM TO CHANGE HER ROOM." I SAID, "CHANGE HER

ROOM?" AND WHEN I WALKED INTO HER ROOM, THERE WAS NOT EVEN A

WINDOW IN IT. IT WAS SO DARK, IT LOOKED MEDICAL, IT LOOKED KIND

OF CREEPY, RIGHT? ALL THESE MACHINES AND STUFF. AND SO I

GATHERED THE FAMILY AND I SAID, LISTEN, I SAID, I HEARD THE LORD

SPEAK TO ME. I SAID, WE'RE GONNA SEE A TURNAROUND. HE SAID, WELL,

WHAT IS THAT? I SAID, WE GOTTA CHANGE OUR ENVIRONMENT. WE GOTTA

GET HER OUT OF THAT ROOM. I SAID, AND THERE'S SOMETHING IN

THAT ROOM, I DON'T LIKE IT. I SAID, I FEEL A LOT OF DEATH IN

THAT ROOM. AND I SAID, I'M SERIOUS. AND I SAID, EVEN WHEN I

WENT IN IT, I FELT SOMETHING NOT WANT ME THERE. AND I SAID, "WE

NEED TO TALK TO THE STAFF." AND THE FIRST THING OUT OF THEIR

MOUTH, "OH, WE CAN'T. THIS IS THE ROOM THEY GAVE US." I SAID,

"NO, I WILL DO IT THEN. IF YOU WILL BACK ME, I'LL BE THE

MOUTHPIECE." "OH YEAH, PLEASE DO." SO I WENT TO THE STAFF AND

I SAID, "EXCUSE ME, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEBODY IN CHARGE."

"WELL, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE IN HERE TILL TOMORROW, SO I WANNA

TELL 'EM I'M COMIN' BACK AND I'M GONNA MEET WITH 'EM." THEY SAID,

"WELL, WHAT'S IT ABOUT?" I SAID, "THAT'S BETWEEN ME AND THEM."

'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO FORMULATE, RIGHT? SO THE NEXT

DAY, THEY WENT IN AND THEY APPROACHED ME. ANYBODY THAT

WANTS TO TALK TO YOU LIKE THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN. I MEAN, I

FEEL LIKE MUHAMMAD ALI, HAVING TO KIND OF FLOAT LIKE A

BUTTERFLY AROUND HIM 'CAUSE I KNEW THAT. I SAID, "I GOTTA ASK

YOU A QUESTION." I SAID, "TELL ME ABOUT THAT ROOM WHERE

SO-AND-SO'S IN." THEY SAID, "OH YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF OUR, WHAT

WE CALL OUR RECOVERY ROOM. A LOT OF TIMES WE PUT PEOPLE THERE

WHEN WE DON'T EXPECT THEM TO MAKE IT." NO WONDER I FELT THIS

SPIRIT OF DEATH THERE. I SAID, "OH," I SAID, "HERE, I'M GONNA,

AS A PASTOR, ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY, I'M GONNA ASK A REQUEST

OF YOU." AND I SAID, "THIS IS A BIG REQUEST." THERE'S A LOT OF

LIFE IN HER. SHE'S BEEN COMING TO OUR CHURCH FOR MANY, MANY

YEARS. SHE'S ONE OF OUR FAITHFUL CONGREGATIONAL MEMBERS. I'M

ASKING YOU TO MOVE HER. I WANT A ROOM WITH A WINDOW. I WANT A

ROOM WHERE SHE CAN, YOU KNOW, LOOK OUT, SIT UP, LOOK OUT. HE

GOES, WELL, SHE'S NOT VERY COHERENT. I SAID, I DON'T CARE.

I WANT A ROOM WHERE WE COULD, DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? HE

AGREED. HE SAID, OKAY. HE GOES, I'M NOT SURE IT'S GONNA HELP. I

SAID, ALL RIGHT. WE LITERALLY HAD THE FAMILY ROLL HER INTO HER

BED, OPEN THE WINDOWS, AND IMMEDIATELY WITHIN LIKE A FEW

HOURS, HER VITAL SIGNS STARTED SHIFTING. 'CAUSE I COULD TELL

THAT SHE WAS MEDITATING ON THE FACT THAT SHE SAW LIGHT. SHE

STARTED MEDITATING ON LIFE IN THE ROOM AND NOT DEATH. AND ALL

OF A SUDDEN, THE FIRST THING SHE SAID WHEN SHE STARTED WAKING UP,

FIRST THING SHE SAID IS, "WHERE AM I?" SHE SAID, "THIS IS

DIFFERENT." AND SHE WAS GROGGY. AND THEY LITERALLY BEGAN TO SET

HER IN A CHAIR. AND SHE WAS PART OF OUR CHURCH FOR MANY, MANY

YEARS. 10 YEARS AFTER. BECAUSE SHE WAS MEDITATING ON THE RIGHT

THINGS. SAME WAY WITH YOU, STAND YOUR FEET. WHAT ARE YOU

MEDITATING ON? SOME OF YOU NEED TO TURN OFF YOUR TV. OR LIMIT

IT. RIGHT? WHAT'S THAT? PUT PREACHING ON. PUT BRENDA

KUNNEMAN, SHE'S PROBABLY THE BEST PREACHER OUTSIDE OF TONY

SUAREZ. PUT HER ON, PUT THE DAILY DECREE ON, RIGHT? BUT

JUST, YOU KNOW, ALTER WHAT YOU'RE MEDITATING ON. CHANGE

YOUR ENVIRONMENT. SOME OF YOU NEED TO OPEN THE BLINDS IN YOUR

HOME. OKAY, YOU'RE MEDITATING ON EVERYTHING BEING SO DARK. I

DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT THIS YOUNG GENERATION. CAN I TELL THE

YOUNG GENERATION OF, PASTOR DOUG, HAVE YOU NOTICED, SO WE

GOT 100 AND SOME EMPLOYEES HERE, AND YOU GO INTO THE YOUNG

PEOPLE'S OFFICES, AND THEY WORK IN THE DARK. WHAT IS WRONG WITH

YOU PEOPLE? I'M LOOKING AT EVERY ONE OF YOU, YOUNG. WHAT IS WRONG

WITH YOU? WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE DARK? IT'S PEACEFUL. YOU HAVE

LAMPS. OH, IT'S PEACEFUL, THEY HAVE LAMPS. THEY HAVE LAMPS AND

IT'S PEACEFUL. MOM, WHEN I USED TO WORK AT THE SERVICE STATION

FOR YOU, CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING ALL THE LIGHTS OFF? PEOPLE WOULD

THINK THAT YOU'RE CLOSED AND NO WORK IS GETTING DONE. BUT, YOU

KNOW, SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST, THAT'S JUST THE OLD DAYS. WE'RE

NOT CONSIDERING THE FORMER THINGS OF OLD, YOU KNOW, WE'RE

JUST NOT DOING THAT. BUT YOU GOTTA CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

TURN THE LIGHTS ON, RIGHT? GET AROUND SOME POSITIVE FRIENDS.

GET AROUND SOME POSITIVE. SOME OF YOU RATHER THAN GO WITH YOUR

WORK FRIENDS AFTERWARDS TO GO FOR A DRINK, EVEN THOUGH YOU

DON'T DRINK, YOU DRINK A COKE. WHY DON'T YOU START GETTING

INVOLVED IN MEN'S PRAYER? WHY DON'T YOU GET INTO 242 GROUPS

WHERE YOU CAN GET DISCIPLED AND MENTORED AND TRAINED. CHANGE

YOUR ENVIRONMENT. CHANGE ON WHAT YOU'RE MEDITATING AND THEN WATCH

HOW IT ALTERS WHAT YOU SPEAK AND THEN ULTIMATELY WHAT HAPPENS IN

YOUR LIFE. AMEN, AMEN. PASTOR DOUG, WHY DON'T YOU COME AND

CLOSE THIS BABY OUT? I HOPE I PREACHED TO YOU OKAY TODAY. I

MEAN, I KIND OF STARTED OFF WITH A MESSAGE AND WENT FROM THERE,

BUT ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT, PASTOR DOUG, DON'T YOU LOVE THIS GUY?

MIC'S FALLING OFF. YEAH, ALL RIGHT. WE LOVE YOU TOO. I LOVE

YOU TOO, THANK YOU. GREAT JOB. APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU. PRAISE

GOD. HEY, IF YOU NEED TO BE BAPTIZED TODAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE

COMMANDED TO BE WATER BAPTIZED. IF YOU'RE A BELIEVER IN JESUS

CHRIST AND YOU'VE NOT BEEN WATER BAPTIZED TODAY, YOU CAN BE

BAPTIZED RIGHT NOW FOLLOWING THE SERVICE. AND IF YOU'LL JUST STEP

OVER HERE TO WHERE MR. LES IS WAVING HIS HANDS, OR IF YOU WERE

SCHEDULED TO BE BAPTIZED TODAY AND YOU DIDN'T GO OUT EARLIER,

JUST COME SEE MR. LES, AND HE'LL TAKE YOU RIGHT DOWN TO THE AREA

THAT YOU NEED TO GO TO. AND YOU CAN BE BAPTIZED TODAY. AND DON'T

WORRY ABOUT IF YOU WEREN'T DRESSED FOR IT OR WHATEVER.

WE'VE GOT THE CLOTHING FOR YOU, AND IT'LL JUST TAKE A FEW

MINUTES. WE'LL GET YOU PREPPED AND READY, AND YOU CAN BE

BAPTIZED TODAY. SO THANK YOU. ALTAR TEAM, YOU CAN COME FORWARD

AT THIS POINT IN TIME. IF YOU'RE WORKING IN THE CONNECT CAFE OR

YOU'RE STATIONED AT AN INFORMATION CENTER, I'LL DISMISS

YOU AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE, IF YOU'LL JUST STAY WITH ME FOR A

MINUTE OR TWO HERE, I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU FOR A MOMENT

ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, THE PRAISE

TEAM TODAY SANG A SONG THAT MADE ME THINK. IT SAID, "KINGS AND

KINGDOMS WILL ALL PASS AWAY, BUT YOUR POWER WILL REMAIN." GOD'S

POWER WILL REMAIN REGARDLESS. EVERY KING THAT'S EVER LIVED ON

THIS EARTH IS GOING TO PASS AWAY. EVERY POOR PERSON, EVERY

PERSON OF LOWLY STATURE IN LIFE IS GOING TO PASS AWAY. IT

DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU'RE A KING OR NOT. PEOPLE PASS AWAY.

WE HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME ON THIS LIFE THAT WE ARE

APPOINTED TO LIVE, AND AT THE END OF THAT APPOINTED TIME, WE

MOVE ON TO EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL, THE BIBLE TELLS US, ONE OR

THE OTHER. BUT IT'S OUR CHOICE AS TO WHERE WE END UP. WE HAVE

WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS FREE WILL, OR IT MEANS THAT WE MAKE OUR OWN

DECISION. WE DETERMINE OUR COURSE IN LIFE. JESUS GAVE HIS

LIFE FOR US, AND WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE HIM. BUT

IF YOU DON'T MAKE THAT CHOICE WHILE YOU'RE BREATHING AND

ALIVE, THEN IT'S TOO LATE. AND LIKE I SAID, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SICK TO DIE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO

BE OLD TO DIE. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE READY. YESTERDAY THERE WAS A

MAN THAT WAS 32 YEARS OLD IN FREMONT, DROWNED IN A LAKE. I

JUST TALKED TO A LADY THAT'S A MEMBER OF OUR CHURCH. LAST WEEK

HER SISTER, 65, SUDDENLY PASSED AWAY, NOT EVEN SICK. THANK GOD

SHE WAS A BELIEVER. SHE'S IN HEAVEN NOW, SO WE'RE REJOICING

WITH HER ABOUT THAT. LAST WEDNESDAY THERE WAS AN

18-YEAR-OLD IN CALIFORNIA THAT ATTENDED A GRADUATION CEREMONY

AND WAS KILLED BY GUNFIRE. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT AGE. NOW IF

YOU'RE A BELIEVER, YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. PASTOR TALKED

ABOUT IT A LOT TODAY. WE BELIEVE FOR LONG LIFE, PROTECTION, ALL

THOSE THINGS. COME ON. SO I'M NOT NEGATING THAT IN ANY WAY.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT WE HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND YOU

HAVE THE TIME TO MAKE A DECISION. SO I WANTED TO ASK YOU

JUST TO BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME QUICKLY TODAY. IN CASE THERE'S

SOMEONE WATCHING ONLINE, I MIGHT BE SPEAKING TO YOU OR THERE

COULD BE SOMEONE HERE IN THIS AUDIENCE AND YOU SAY, "PASTOR

DOUG, I WANT TO MAKE 100% SURE THAT WHENEVER I LEAVE THIS

EARTH, I'LL BE READY AND I'LL GO TO HEAVEN. BUT I ALSO, MORE

IMPORTANT THAN THAT, I WANT TO HAVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE THAT GOD

GIVES ME WHILE I'M ON THIS EARTH SO THAT I CAN AFFECT OTHERS AND

I CAN DO WHAT GOD'S CALLED ME TO DO." AND UNTIL YOU ENTER INTO

THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT OR

THE ASSURANCE OF HEAVEN. THEY'RE BOTH SO IMPORTANT. ETERNITY IS

SO IMPORTANT. SO I'M GONNA COUNT TO THREE TODAY, AND IF THERE'S

SOMEONE HERE AND YOU'RE LISTENING AND YOU SAY I'M NOT A

HUNDRED PERCENT SURE IT ALL STARTS WITH A PRAYER AND I'M

JUST GONNA ASK YOU TO PRAY WITH ME TODAY AND WE'RE GONNA GET IT

RIGHT IN YOUR LIFE SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE ABUNDANT LIFE ON THIS

EARTH WITH JESUS GUIDING YOU AND DIRECTING YOU PLUS ETERNITY IN

HEAVEN WHEN I COUNT TO THREE IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE AND YOU SAY

PASTOR DOUG, I WANT TO PRAY TODAY I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M

RIGHT BEFORE I LEAVE THIS AUDITORIUM. I WANT TO MAKE SURE

HEAVEN IS MY HOME I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING VERY BOLD

AND THAT'S RAISE YOUR HAND SO THAT I CAN FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE

WE'RE NOT GONNA EMBARRASS YOU TODAY, BUT I DO WANT TO PRAY

WITH YOU WHEN I COUNT TO THREE JUST RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE

WATCHING ONLINE YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING WHEREVER YOU'RE AT AT

HOME ONE TWO THREE, IS THERE SOMEONE HERE TODAY? AND YOU'D

RAISE YOUR HAND BOLDLY AND SAY, I NEED TO KNOW JESUS. I NEED TO

MAKE SURE JESUS IS MY SAVIOR. ANYONE HERE IN THIS BUILDING?

LET'S DO THIS. LET'S PRAY TOGETHER. FATHER IN HEAVEN, YOU

REPEAT AFTER ME. FATHER IN HEAVEN. THANK YOU FOR SENDING

JESUS. THANK YOU HE WENT TO THE CROSS. HE DIED FOR ME. I BELIEVE

HE WAS BURIED AND HE ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY. AND THE BIBLE

SAYS, "IF I CONFESS MY SIN, JESUS WILL FORGIVE ME." FATHER,

I'M ASKING YOU TODAY, FORGIVE ME FOR SIN IN MY LIFE. COME INTO MY

HEART, BE THE LORD OF MY LIFE, AND I WILL SERVE YOU FOR THE

REMAINDER OF MY LIFE. AND SOMEDAY I'LL BE IN HEAVEN WITH

YOU. AMEN. IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER TODAY, YOU CAN CALL OUR

PRAYER LINE, 855-777-7907, AND OUR PRAYER COUNSELORS ARE THERE

24 HOURS A DAY TO PRAY WITH YOU AND GET YOU INFORMATION SO THAT

YOU CAN HAVE A WALK WITH THE LORD AND TELL YOU HOW TO PROCEED

FROM THERE. AND BEFORE YOU LEAVE TODAY, I WANT TO REMIND YOU, THE

ALTER TEAM IS HERE. IF YOU NEED PRAYER FOR ANYTHING IN YOUR

LIFE, THEY'RE HERE WITH THE STRONG PRAYER OF AGREEMENT. JUST

COME RIGHT ON UP AS WE DISMISS. AND IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I

FORGOT? OKAY, WE'RE GOOD. WE'LL SEE YOU HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK. GOD BLESS YOU.
