IT'S BEEN A LITTLE WINDY AND COLD, BUT WE'RE GONNA GET THERE.

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE READY FOR US TO GET THERE WHERE IT'S NICE AND

WARMER AND, YEAH, JUST IGNORE PASTOR MIKE BACK HERE. I ALMOST

IN THE AUDIENCE AND THOSE OF YOU, WE HAD OUR MEN'S MEETING

YESTERDAY, GUYS. IT WASN'T THAT FUN. AND I'M JUST LOOKING

AROUND, MAN. I CAME TO THE CHURCH AND THERE'S SOME GUYS

WITH BIG OLD FRO'S, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, GUYS WITH SOME CRAZY

LOOKING OUTFITS. YEAH, SILK SHIRTS AND BELL BOTTOMS. AND I

ME. I'M LIKE, WHO'S THAT GUY? YOU KNOW? AND SO WE'LL SHOW THAT

WAS FUN. WE'LL SHOW SOME PHOTOS OF SOME OF THE GUYS. YEAH, YOU

CONTEST WHERE THEY DID THEIR MOVES. AND I TELL YOU WHAT. WAIT

CONTEST. COME ON UP HERE. DAVID, HOW OLD ARE YOU? YOU'RE 12 YEARS

OLD? HOW LONG DID YOU PRACTICE? YOU GOT TO TALK OVER HERE SO

THEY CAN HEAR YOU. A WEEK. YOU ONLY PRACTICE A WEEK? I'VE BEEN

PRACTICING MY WHOLE LIFE AND I CAN'T DO THAT. SO YOU DID REALLY

GOOD. LET'S GIVE HIM A HAND CLAP. YOU DID GREAT.

CONGRATULATIONS. SO DAVID, I DO HAVE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. SO

YOU WON THE BLACKSTONE GRILL. ARE YOU GONNA BE THE COOK ON IT,

OR IS YOUR DAD? OH, YOU'RE GONNA BE THE GUY, HUH? WHAT ARE YOU

GONNA MAKE? FIRST MEAL. YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THE PASTOR A MEAL.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA MAKE? STEAK. STEAK, THAT'S A GOOD DEAL. ALL

RIGHT, WHEN YOU SEE THIS GUY'S MOVES, I THINK WE'RE GONNA SHOW

A VIDEO OF YOU, MAN. IT'LL BE AWESOME, YOU DID GOOD. WELL, I

TELL YOU WHAT, YOUR DAD CAN'T DANCE, SO YOU DIDN'T GET IT FROM

HIM. THANKS AGAIN, MAN. ALL RIGHT, DON'T YOU LOVE IT? WELL,

YOU DID SHOW ME A FEW OF THE VIDEOS OF THE GUYS. AND I DID

LEARN ONE THING. WHAT'S THAT? MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING I ALREADY

KNEW. WHAT'S THAT? WHITE MEN CAN'T DANCE. WHITE MEN CANNOT

DANCE. OH, WE NEED TO HEAR THE OH. SO WE'LL JUST LEAVE THAT

RIGHT THERE. WE'LL LET THE OTHER PEOPLE DECIDE WHEN THEY LOOK AT

THE VIDEO. YEAH, RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, I WANT TO DO THIS. I WANT

TO WELCOME ALL OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ALSO AROUND THE WORLD.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME. WE'RE GOING TO SHOW LIKE,

I DON'T KNOW, QUITE A FEW PHOTOS OF THE MEN AND HOW AWESOME THEY

LOOKED. AND I WANNA THANK THE MEN AGAIN. THANKS FOR

PARTICIPATING. IT WAS AN AWESOME TIME. AND WE'LL SHOW THOSE PICS,

PLUS WE'RE GONNA SHOW THE VIDEO. SO YOU'LL REALLY, REALLY ENJOY

THAT. AND SOME OF YOU THAT MIGHT BE WATCHING, LIKE WHAT IS DISCO?

WELL, ASK SOMEBODY ONLINE, THEY'LL TELL YOU. FROM THE 70S,

RIGHT? BUT HEY, I'VE GOT A GREAT WORD TODAY. I'M GONNA KINDA,

EVERY PALM SUNDAY, I LIKE TO BRING OUT SOME HISTORICAL PARTS

OF PALM SUNDAY. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WE'RE GONNA

TALK ABOUT WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TODAY. BUT WHAT

WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT IS NOT ONLY THE IMPORTANCE OF TWO, THAT

YOU SEE A LOT IN THE BIBLE, YOU SEE IT A LOT IN THE STORY OF

PALM SUNDAY, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, THERE WERE TWO DONKEYS, THERE

WERE TWO DISCIPLES. WHY IS IT? BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING

THAT GOD IS SHOWING, AND IT'S REALLY WHAT PALM SUNDAY'S ABOUT.

IT'S ABOUT THE LORD OF THE COUNTER, THE LORD WHO OPPOSES

WHAT THE ENEMY IS DOING ON OUR BEHALF. SO WE ARE GONNA TALK

ABOUT IT. IT'S GONNA BE VERY, VERY POWERFUL. ARE YOU EXCITED?

AND ONE LAST THING, DO YOU KNOW THAT, I TOLD BRENDA ON THE WAY

HERE VERY QUICKLY THAT IN HEAVEN IT'S TROPICAL. BECAUSE

REVELATION 7:9 SAYS THAT THEY WAVE PALM BRANCHES. SO ALL YOU

Revelation 7:9

SNOW PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO JUST FIGURE IT

OUT. OH BOY, OH BOY. LAST THING, YOU KNOW, I HAD SOMETHING HAPPEN

TO ME. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GOING OUT TO EAT NEXT WEEK FOR A

RESURRECTION SERVICE AFTERWARDS? ANYBODY GOING OUT TO EAT? WELL,

THAT'S SOMEBODY'S HOUSE, SO I GUESS THAT'S OUT. ALL RIGHT, YOU

GOTTA BE CAREFUL. I WALKED INTO A RESTAURANT, BRENDA, AND IT WAS

VERY BUSY, AND I SAID TO THE GUY, I SAID, "HEY, LOOKS LIKE

IT'S VERY BUSY." HE GOES, "OH, YES, IT'S SO, SO BUSY." HE GOES,

"DO YOU MIND WAITING FOR A LITTLE BIT?" I SAID, "SURE, I

DON'T MIND WAITING FOR A LITTLE BIT." NEXT THING I KNOW, HE

HANDS ME THE APRON, A TABLET, AND A PEN. HE SAID, TAKE CARE OF

TABLES 6 THROUGH 12. JUST GOT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN THEY

ASK I ACTUALLY GOT AN... BRENDA, YOU DIDN'T EVEN APPLAUD. ALL

RIGHT, LET'S THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD. THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD. YOU

GUYS ARE QUIET. I HEARD NO MUSIC, NOTHING. PLEASE, OUR

FAMILY THAT ARE WATCHING, PUT HAND CLAPS. THAT WAS PRETTY

GOOD. FOR THE SAKE OF. PRETTY GOOD. ALL RIGHT, WELL, PALM

SUNDAY, LOT OF THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. SO

I THINK THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS PUT THE PALMS IN THE

AIR, GIVE GOD A LITTLE WAVE OFFERING. TELL THE LORD THAT YOU

ARE SO HONORED TO WORSHIP HIM ON THIS TRIUMPHAL ENTRY OF OUR LORD

JESUS CHRIST. COME ON, KING OF KINGS. HALLELUJAH. LORD OF

LORDS, THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD THAT RODE INTO JERUSALEM AS THE

REIGNING KING. MY GOODNESS, I'M TELLING YOU, AND I BELIEVE THIS

PALM SUNDAY IS ALSO PROPHETIC BECAUSE JESUS IS GETTING

GLORIFIED IN THE EARTH LIKE WE HAVE NOT SEEN COME ON, THROW

THOSE HANDS UP TO HEAVEN. SAY, "LORD JESUS, I HONOR YOU. I

PRAISE YOU. I WORSHIP YOU. YOU ARE THE TRIUMPHANT KING, THE

KING OF KINGS, AND THE LORD OF LORDS." NOW GIVE HIM A GREAT BIG

PALM SUNDAY SHOUT, AND LET'S PRAISE HIM THIS MORNING.

MAYBE YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT YOU NEED SOMETHING TO OPEN UP,

YOU NEED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, SOMETHING TO MANIFEST. MAYBE

IT'S FINANCIAL, MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN

PRAYING ABOUT. I KEEP SEEING THIS AND I CANNOT SHAKE IT OUT

OF MY SPIRIT, MAN. WHEN WE WERE SINGING, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES

IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, I SAW SOMETHING AND IT JUST KEEPS

COMING BACK AND I SEE IT IN MY EYES. AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S

SOMETHING THAT GOD WANTS US TO DO. DO Y'ALL UNDERSTAND

SOMETHING? FOR OVER, LET ME JUST SAY THIS, FOR ALMOST 2,000

YEARS, THAT DAY ON PALM SUNDAY, THEY HAD BEEN DECLARING

SOMETHING. THEY'D BEEN DECLARING PSALM 118, BLESSED IS HE WHO

COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. AND SO WHAT THEY HAD BEEN

PROPHESYING, WHAT THEY'VE BEEN EXPECTING, WHAT THEY'VE BEEN

PRAYING ABOUT, WHAT THEY WERE DECREEING NOW WAS MANIFESTING

BEFORE THEM. THERE IS THAT, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

WHEN YOU DECREE SOMETHING, THE BOOK OF JOB SAYS IT WILL BE

ESTABLISHED. AND I REALLY SENSE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO

DO. I WANT US TO SING THAT SONG AGAIN, AND THEN WHAT I WANT IS I

WANT THE MEN'S PRAYER GROUP, I WANT YOU TO LINE UP ON ONE SIDE

RIGHT UP HERE. JUST IN A SINGLE FILE LINE AND FACE THE AUDIENCE.

SINGLE FILE LINE, COME ON, COME QUICKLY, PLEASE. WHEN THE END,

NO, GUYS, MOVE QUICKLY. WE GOTTA LEARN, WHEN GOD SAYS SOMETHING,

MOVE, MOVE. THE ANOINTING IS AN ACTION, IT'S A MOVEMENT. THAT'S

WHY JESUS WAS ANOINTED. HE WAS ANOINTED FOR ACTION. HE WAS

ANOINTED TO GO. HE WAS ANOINTED TO MOVE. THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVES,

IT'S ACTION. COME ON, COME ON. NOW, I WANT THE WOMEN, THE

PRAYER GROUP, WOMEN THAT YOU ARE IN A PRAYER GROUP, I WANT YOU TO

LINE ON THE OTHER SIDE. NO, JUST GIVE SOME ROOM, KIND OF BACK UP.

USHER'S HAVE THEM BACK UP RIGHT THERE WHERE DEB'S AT. KIND OF

LINE UP THERE, GIVE A ROOM. I WANT YOU TO LINE UP ON THE OTHER

SIDE. AND I KEEP SEEING THIS IN MY SPIRIT. SOME OF YOU WOMEN

ALTAR WORKERS, YOU GET ON THE OTHER SIDE, ALL RIGHT? LINE UP

IN A SINGLE LINE. COME ON, MOVE QUICKLY PLEASE AS YOU CAN UNLESS

YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING WHERE IT'S A LITTLE SLOWER FOR YOU TO WALK,

THAT'S OKAY, WE GET IT. NOT TRYING TO BE BOSSY, I'M TRYING

TO GET THINGS MOVING. NOW, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

WE'RE GONNA START ON THIS SIDE OVER HERE. AND WE'RE GONNA SING

THAT SONG, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID? THEY BEGAN TO PUT THEIR PALM BRANCHES

DOWN. YOU'RE GONNA DECLARE, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE

NAME OF THE LORD. AND PEOPLE WHO NEED A BREAKTHROUGH ARE

GONNA WALK THROUGH THIS LINE AND THEY'RE GONNA GET A

BREAKTHROUGH. NOW, IF YOU'RE IN THIS LINE AND YOU'RE EITHER

ONE OF THE MEN, OR YOU'RE ONE OF THE WOMEN THAT YOU'RE LIKE,

MAN, PASTOR I WISH I COULD JUST WALK THROUGH THE LINE.

LET EVERYBODY GO THROUGH FIRST AND THEN

I DON'T WANT THE WHOLE LINE TO BREAK APART, BUT

THEN YOU CAN EXCUSE YOURSELF, OR IF YOU WANT TO GO

NOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN GET

ON IT, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WHEN WE DO THIS, I FELT THE LORD WALK

IN HERE. I COULD FEEL HIS PRESENCE. HOW MANY OF YOU FELT

IT TOO? AND I FEEL LIKE GOD IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE

PEOPLE. HE'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU. AND IF YOU

ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OR YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO STAND

HERE, AND HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO. MEN, DON'T STAND THERE

LIKE TELEPHONE POLES OR COME DOWN AND I'LL WHOP YOU ONE. I

WANT YOU TO LIFT YOUR HANDS UP. BLESSED IS HE, WOMEN, BLESSED IS

HE WHEN THEY GO THROUGH. HOW MANY OF YOU CAN DO THAT? COME

COME THROUGH. NOW, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU'RE GONNA

BE LIKE, WELL, I WISH I COULD BE THERE. WELL, YOU ARE, BECAUSE

HERE'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO. I'M GONNA STAND IN PROXY RIGHT HERE

FOR YOU AND YOUR NEEDS. THIS REPRESENTS YOU. I'M GONNA GO

FIRST, AND I'M GONNA REPRESENT YOUR NEED. AND WHATEVER YOU'RE,

WE LOVE YOU, MAN. AND WHATEVER YOU'RE FACING, AND THESE PEOPLE

IN THIS ROOM, WE LOVE THEM TOO. I BELIEVE, AS THE PASTOR, I'M

GONNA START IT OFF, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA WALK THROUGH, AND

WE'RE GONNA BELIEVE THAT OUR KING IS COMING TO BRING

BREAKTHROUGH. YESHUA, WE ASK YOU, FIRST OF ALL, TO COME

FIRST. WE'RE NOT WORSHIPING MAN, WE'RE WORSHIPING OUR KING, AND

WE'RE ASKING YOU TO MAKE THE WAY. YOU KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE

THIS IS, IS LIKE THE RED SEA. I BELIEVE THAT, REMEMBER WHAT

HAPPENED? THE KING CAME, AND HE WALKED THROUGH, AND HE TOOK OUT

WHATEVER ENEMY YOU MIGHT BE FACING, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, AND HE DROWNED THEM. AND HE BROUGHT AN AMAZING

BREAKTHROUGH, AND THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS WHY GOD'S WANTING US

YOU CAN WALK THROUGH. SHOULD THEY DO IT NOW? HOW MANY MEN ARE

IN THE LINE YOU WISH YOU COULD WALK THROUGH RIGHT NOW? I'M

GONNA LOSE MY LINE. LET'S DO THIS FIRST. LET'S LET THE PEOPLE

GO THROUGH BECAUSE WHAT YOU WILL PRAY AND BE PROPHETIC ACT FOR

SOMEBODY ELSE, GOD WILL DO IT IN YOUR LIFE AND THEN WE'LL FOLLOW

IF YOU ARE IN LINE AND YOU NEED TO, WE'LL LET THEM GO THROUGH. I

JUST HOPE WE GOT ENOUGH LINE. BUT I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE

THERE WOULD BE WILLING TO COME UP? COME ON UP, FILL THE LINE.

LET THEM GO THROUGH, IT'S OKAY. I BELIEVE YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR

BREAKTHROUGH HERE. WE HAVE BEEN BELIEVING GOD. SO SOME OF YOU

COULD COME UP, YOU COULD BE PART OF IT. THIS IS WHAT PALM SUNDAY

IS. 'CAUSE I IMAGINE IF YOU HAD, HOW MANY OF YOU, IF YOU WERE

ALIVE AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, IF YOU HAD PALM

BRANCHES BACK IN THOSE DAYS, HOW MANY OF YOU THINK YOU'D BE IN

LINE AND YOU WOULD BE WAVING YOUR PALM BRANCHES? YOU COULD

PUT A PALM BRANCH SYMBOL, YOU KNOW, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, LIKE YOU'RE PARTICIPATING. I KNOW I WOULD, I

WOULD BE DOING IT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU DON'T HAVE A PALM

BRANCH, BUT YOU GOT PALMS, RIGHT? DOES THAT COUNT? YOU

KNOW, YOU GOT PALMS. USHERS, YOU ARE DOING AMAZING, AND I

APPRECIATE IT. I HOPE I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T WANT TO GRIEVE THE HOLY

SPIRIT BY STOPPING, BUT GOD'S BEEN DEALING WITH ME ABOUT

SOMETHING. WE'RE IN A TIME OF WHAT? A SHIFT CHANGE TO BRING A

WHAT CHANGE? A SWIFT CHANGE. AND GOD'S BEEN DEALING WITH ME ABOUT

ACCELERATION. AND HE SAID TO ME, WE ALWAYS USE THE WORD, A MOVE

OF GOD. LISTEN, I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR THE MEN IN OUR

CHURCH, AND I'M PROUD OF YOU. AND I'VE BEEN ASKING GOD FOR A

MOVE OF HIS SPIRIT. AND ONE THING THAT GOD SAID TO ME, "MEN,

IF YOU WILL MOVE YOUR EMOTIONS TOWARDS GOD, MOVE YOUR BODY

TOWARDS GOD, MOVE YOUR SPIRIT TOWARDS GOD, YOU WILL HAVE A

MOVE OF GOD." SOME OF YOU, WHETHER YOU'RE A MALE OR FEMALE

AND YOU'RE WATCH AND LEARN TO MOVE WITH GOD. IF GOD SAYS

SOMETHING, DON'T GET YOUR HEAD IN THE WAY. DON'T RESPOND

SLOWLY. MOVE. AND THAT'S HOW YOU POSITION YOURSELF FOR A GREATER

BLESSING OF GOD. ALL RIGHT. WOW, LOOK AT THIS. OKAY, ARE YOU

READY? WAIT, LET 'EM SING FIRST SO THEY CAN KINDA GET IT READY.

AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA WAVE THEIR PALMS. AND ONCE AGAIN,

WOULD SOMEBODY DO THIS FOR ME? MATT, I WANT YOU TO REPRESENT

THE YOUNG GENERATION AGAIN, THE PEOPLE. I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE

THE PEOPLE A DOUBLE PORTION. WOULD YOU WALK THROUGH, ALL

RIGHT, SO MATTHEW, WALK DOWN, STAND IN FRONT OF THERE.

MATTHEW'S GONNA WALK THROUGH WITH MY PHONE, REPRESENTING

AGAIN YOU, IF YOU JUST JOINED US. WE WANT YOU TO GET A

BREAKTHROUGH TOO. WE WANT THAT MANIFESTATION OF GOD IN YOUR

LIFE, AMEN. HOW MANY OF YOU, LET ME JUST SAY THIS, YOU DON'T GO

BY FEELINGS, BUT HOW MANY OF YOU FELT SOMETHING WHEN YOU WENT

THROUGH THE LINE? I FELT THE POWER OF GOD RIGHT HERE. HOW

MANY OF YOU HONESTLY DID? WE'RE NOT GOING BY FEELINGS, WE'RE

GOING BY WHAT WE REALLY EXPERIENCED, AND THAT IS YOU

FELT GOD. ALL RIGHT, MATTHEW, YOU READY? NO, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,

GO BACK, I'M SORRY. I'M DOING IT WRONG AGAIN. SING, AND THEN,

READY, GO. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU, SON.

AND I JUST BELIEVE THERE'S A SEAT WAITING FOR YOU. SO, THE

WEBSITE FOR THAT, WELL THERE'S A QR CODE, BUT GO OUT TO

OPENINGTHEHEAVENS.ORG, AND I BELIEVE JUST AHEAD

OF THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, THIS IS A PIVOTAL MOMENT

THIS YEAR. AND YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU WERE HERE

2024, RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION? REMEMBER THE

SMOKE ON THE WATER NIGHT? IT WAS SO FUNNY, BECAUSE LAST WEEK

CHE AHN COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE ALL LIKE ROLLING OFF

OUR SEATS. WE DID TELL HIM AT LUNCH AFTER WHAT HAPPENED, BUT

I THINK HE WAS COMPLETELY IN THE DARK WHEN HE MENTIONED

THAT, AND I'M LIKE, NO WE TOOK THAT SONG BACK FROM

THE CLUTCHES OF THE DEVIL. AND REALLY, IT WASN'T

EVEN A DEMONIC SONG. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING

ABOUT THE BAND, BUT THE SONG WAS A SILLY SONG, IT REALLY WAS, BUT

IT HAS A GOOD FEEL. SO WHEN PASTOR DID THAT, BUT I BELIEVE

THAT NIGHT THERE WAS SUCH A SHIFT IN THE SPIRIT. PASTOR

ANTHONY, HE AND HIS WIFE WERE ON VACATION TODAY, BUT HE LEANED

OVER AND HE GOES, "ARE WE INTERCEDING IN THE SPIRIT TO

SMOKE ON THE WATER RIGHT NOW?" I GO, "YES, WE ARE." OH, BUT LOOK

WHAT HAPPENED, AND I BELIEVE, COME ON, WHEN WE GATHER, FOLKS,

THIS YEAR, OPENING THE HEAVENS, IT IS, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GONNA

SHIFT SOMETHING IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT. SO DON'T STAY HOME.

COME ON, GIVE A HAND IF YOU'RE EXCITED FOR IT.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

ALL RIGHT, WELL, PRAISE THE LORD. I WANNA QUICKLY GET OUR

OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP FOR TODAY. AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE

APPROPRIATE JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE OFFERING NUGGET I'M GONNA

READ IT FROM THE STORY OF PALM SUNDAY. BUT THIS IS, YOU KNOW,

JESUS' TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM IS IN ALL OF THE FOUR

GOSPELS, AND EACH OF THEM HIGHLIGHTS A FEW THINGS A LITTLE

BIT DIFFERENTLY. BUT I LOVE THIS PART. AND GO TO, GUYS, IF YOU

WILL, GO TO VERSE 33. I WON'T READ THE WHOLE PASSAGE. BUT IT

SAYS, REMEMBER THAT JESUS SAID, NOW GO FIND THIS LITTLE DONKEY,

THIS LITTLE COLT, AND UNTIE HIM AND BRING HIM, RIGHT? AND IF

ANYBODY ASKS YOU, RIGHT? WHAT YOU'RE DOING, WELL THIS

IS WHAT YOU'LL SAY. IT SAYS, "SO AS THEY WERE LOOSING THE COLT,

THE OWNERS," OKAY THIS WAS THE OWNER. LIKE, THIS WOULD BE LIKE

PICTURING SOMEBODY COMING AND TAKING YOUR CAR AND JUST GOING

AWAY WITH IT, AND YOU'RE LIKE "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

AND IT HAD TO BE TOTALLY SUPERNATURAL FOR THEM

NOT TO PROTEST, RIGHT? THEY DIDN'T GIVE THEM ANY GRIEF,

NOTHING LIKE THAT. SO THE OWNER SAID, "WHY ARE YOU LOSING THE

CULT?" LOOK AT THE NEXT VERSE. THIS JUST HIGHLIGHTED TO ME,

VERSE 34. AND THEY SAID, THIS IS THE SIMPLE STATEMENT JESUS GAVE

THEM TO SAY. NOTHING ELSE, NO EXPLANATION, NO BIG, YOU KNOW,

TRYING TO JUSTIFY, NOTHING. HE JUST SIMPLY SAID, YOU SAY, "THE

LORD HAS NEED OF HIM." AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. I THOUGHT,

YOU KNOW, GOD, WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT GOD NEEDS US. NOW

YOU COULD SAY, WELL GOD DOESN'T REALLY NEED US. NO,

BUT HE'S CHOSEN TO. HE'S CHOSEN TO PARTNER WITH US. GOD IS NOT

ENACTING HIS PLAN AND AGENDA ON THE EARTH OUTSIDE OF YOU AND ME.

HE CHOSE TO USE US IN MULTIPLE WAYS TO BE PART OF HIS PLAN.

THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS ABOUT WITH ABRAHAM. GOD WAS JUST LOOKING

FOR A MAN, OR IN THAT CASE IT WAS ABRAHAM OR ABRAM, TO GET IN

AGREEMENT WITH HIS AGENDA AND HELP HIM CARRY IT OUT IN THE

EARTH. YOU KNOW, YOU ARE, THE BIBLE CALLS US JOINT HEIRS,

RIGHT? WE ARE CO-LABORERS WITH GOD IN THE EARTH. SO UNDERSTAND

THAT GOD HAS NEED OF YOU AND ME. SO DON'T EVER TELL YOURSELF

YOU'RE A FAILURE. IN FACT, WHEN WE WERE PRAYING OVER THE GROUP

THAT WAS COMING THROUGH, ONE OF THE THINGS I FELT LIKE WHEN

I WAS STANDING OVER THERE IS TO PRAY AGAINST

PEOPLE THAT DEAL WITH A DEMONIC SPIRIT OF

FAILURE. DON'T EVER RESORT TO THE IDEA, WELL,

I'M JUST A FAILURE, I'LL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH, GOD CAN'T USE ME

FOR THESE REASONS. MOSES DID THAT. HE TRIED TO SAY, GOD, I

CAN'T TALK WELL. AND GOD WAS LIKE, WELL, WHATEVER, WHO MADE

YOUR MOUTH? RIGHT? SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, DON'T JUST RESORT TO

NOT HAVING PURPOSE. GOD HAS A NEED OF YOU AND I, NO MATTER HOW

YOUNG WE ARE, OLD WE ARE. GOD TOLD, OR PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY,

DON'T LET ANYBODY PUT DOWN YOUR YOUTHFUL AGE.

OKAY, BUT BE DILIGENT TO DO THESE THINGS, OKAY?

THE BIBLE SAYS OF THE OLD MEN AND WOMEN, HE SAID,

"YOU'VE KNOWN HIM FROM THE BEGINNING." GOD HAS NEED OF

YOU AND I ON THIS EARTH. WELL, THAT MEANS, WHEN IT COMES TO OUR

GIVING, HE HAS NEED OF OUR GIVING. OKAY? IT'S THE GIVING OF

GOD'S PEOPLE THAT IS CAUSING THE GOSPEL TO GO FORWARD IN THE

EARTH. YOU KNOW, ALL THE NAYSAYERS ARE LIKE, "WELL, YOU

KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE TO THE CHURCH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO

TITHE." I'VE HEARD THESE THINGS FOR YEARS. I KNOW YOU HAVE TOO.

BUT THEN I THINK, WELL THEN, YOU KNOW, I MEAN WE DROVE UP THIS

MORNING AS WE CAME INTO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, AND I

SAID, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS JUST LIKE TO DRIVE RIGHT THERE 'CAUSE

I LIKE TO SEE HOW GOD HAS BLESSED ALL OF US. AND I

THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THERE'S PEOPLE THAT

DIDN'T WANT A GREAT BIG OLD CHURCH JUST BEING STUCK IN THE

MIDDLE OF MILLARD AVENUE. YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE NOT EVERYBODY'S A

FRIEND OF THE GOSPEL, IT'S NO SURPRISE, RIGHT? BUT THEN I

THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "YEAH, BUT LOOK HOW THIS PLAZA LOOKED

BEFORE WE CAME." I MEAN, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE FROM HERE, YOU

KNOW IT LOOKED PRETTY POOR. IT WAS A DILAPIDATED OLD CENTER

JUST FALLING APART. AND I THOUGHT, "BUT ISN'T THAT HOW THE

DEVIL IS? HE'LL LIE TO PEOPLE AND SAY, 'YOU WERE BETTER OFF IN

THE TRASH DUMP, RIGHT, THAN TO HAVE SOMETHING BE BEAUTIFIED."

WELL, GOD HAS NEED OF OUR GIVING SO THAT WE CAN MAKE AN IMPRINT

IN THIS EARTH. RIGHT NOW, THIS VERY MOMENT, THERE ARE THOUSANDS

OF PEOPLE THAT ARE JOINING US ON ALL THE PLATFORMS. WE ARE MAKING

AN IMPRINT IN OTHER COUNTRIES. YOU KNOW, YOUR GIVING IS

MISSIONS IN THE FACT THAT YOU'RE JUST ON CAMERA. AND THERE'S

SOMEBODY AS PASTOR WAS HOLDING HIS PHONE TODAY AND WALKING

THROUGH REPRESENTING THE ONLINE GROUP THAT ARE GOING TO GET A

MIRACLE THAT ARE WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF, COME ON,

SOMEBODY. THEY'RE WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BREAKTHROUGH

IN THEIR LIFE JUST BECAUSE WE TOOK OUR TITHES AND

OUR OFFERINGS AND SAID, AND THE LORD HAD NEED OF IT. THINK ABOUT

THAT. SO WHEN YOU GIVE, NOTICE, YOU KNOW, WE TEACH A LOT ABOUT

THE BLESSINGS OF GIVING AND GOD WILL GIVE BACK TO YOU AND

MULTIPLY YOUR SEEDS. SO IN ALL OF THOSE ARE IN THE BIBLE AND

THEY'RE IMPORTANT. THEY'RE IMPORTANT. BUT REMEMBER AT THE

END OF THE DAY, GOD HAS NEED OF YOUR GIVING. THINK ABOUT IN THE

BOOK OF MALACHI, ALL OF US IN THE ROOM PROBABLY CAN QUOTE THE

PASSAGE ON TITHES AND OFFERINGS, MALACHI 3. BUT IT SAYS THAT

THERE MIGHT BE MEAT IN MY HOUSE. IN OTHER WORDS, THAT'S GOD'S OLD

TESTAMENT WORD OF SAYING, I HAVE NEED OF THE COLT. I HAVE NEED.

THE MASTER HATH NEED OF IT. BUT HERE'S WHAT WAS AMAZING TO ME,

AND I WAS READING THIS THIS MORNING IN MY BIBLE, AND I'M SO

GLAD THAT NOBODY QUESTIONED IT. THE OWNER OF THE COLT DIDN'T GO,

"WELL, THAT'S MY COLT. I PAID SO MANY SHEKELS FOR THAT COLT, HOW

DARE YOU?" AND IT HIT ME, AND THE LORD REMINDED ME, 'CAUSE IT

WAS SUPERNATURAL. WHEN WE RESORT TO THE FACT, YOU KNOW, THE

DISCIPLES WOULD GO, "WELL, JESUS, THEY'RE GONNA ARGUE."

THEY JUST SAID, "OKAY." AND THEY REALIZED AND THEY TRUSTED THAT

IF GOD SAID HE HAD NEEDED SOMETHING, ALL THEY HAD TO DO

WAS RESPOND. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? GOD TOOK CARE OF THE REST. AND

THOSE PEOPLE LET THAT COLT GO ON. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WERE

STANDING THERE WITH A PALM BRANCH GOING, "THAT'S MY

DONKEY." I MEAN, MAYBE THEY WERE, I DON'T KNOW. IT COULD

HAVE BEEN. BUT THE POINT IS THE LORD HAD NEED OF IT. AND SO GOD

HAS NEED OF YOU TODAY. HE HAS NEED OF YOUR GIVING. DON'T

RELENT AND LET THE DEVIL TALK YOU OUT OF WHAT GOD HAS. THAT

SUPERNATURAL MOMENT OF THAT CULT THAT THEY TOOK 'CAUSE THE LORD

HAD NEED, AND THAT'S ALL THE WORD THEY NEEDED, AND GOD TOOK

CARE OF THE REST. COME ON SOMEBODY, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL

ABOUT. GOD HAS NEED OF IT. HALLELUJAH! ALL RIGHT, WELL,

IT'S ALSO, IT'S PASSOVER GIVING TIME, SO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

THERE IS AN OFFERING ENVELOPE ON YOUR CHAIR AND ON THE DROP DOWN.

AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS

RIGHT NOW, THAT FEAST GIVING TIME WAS THE LORD HAD NEED OF

IT. AND YOU'VE HEARD ME TEACH ON THAT MANY TIMES. I DON'T EVEN

HAVE TO GO INTO ALL OF THE TOPICS ON FEAST GIVING. PASSOVER

PENTECOST TABERNACLES WAS A TIME THAT GOD WANTED THEM TO

COMMEMORATE. HOW MANY REMEMBER THAT? AND THEIR GIVING WAS TO

CAUSE THEM TO DO THAT. THE LORD HAD NEED OF IT UNDER THE OLD

COVENANT BECAUSE GOD KNEW IT WOULD BE A FULFILLMENT UNDER THE

NEW. SO HE WANTED TO MARKET. THAT'S WHY WHEN THE LORD SAYS HE

HAS NEED OF SOMETHING, WHETHER IT'S A FEAST OFFERING OR

WHATEVER IT IS, SERVICE TO THE LORD, ALWAYS RESPOND. GOD HAD

ISRAEL DO THAT BECAUSE HE HAD NEED OF IT FOR A REASON. SO IT'S

PASSOVER GIVING TIME. THIS IS WHERE WE GIVE A SPECIAL

OFFERING. GOD TOLD US THIS WAS A SEASON NEVER TO COME BEFORE HIM

EMPTY. DEUTERONOMY 16 AND 16. SO THERE'S A PASSOVER FUND

AVAILABLE RIGHT THERE AND WE'RE ON THE DROP DOWN. OF COURSE YOU

CAN USE THE SPECIAL OFFERING ENVELOPE FOR PASSOVER AND THESE

WILL BE AVAILABLE ALL THROUGH PASSOVER WEEK THIS WEEK AND

WE'LL LEAVE IT OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN ON IT IF THEY

COME. YOU KNOW WE GET PEOPLE THAT WATCH SOME OF THESE THINGS

EVEN AFTER THE FACT AND SO WE LEAVE THEM AVAILABLE FOR

EVERYBODY. SO PASSOVER GIVING THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT. AMEN.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR GIVING READY, YOUR OFFERING

ENVELOPE THAT THE LORD HAS NEED OF, STAND UP ON YOUR FEET, OR IF

YOU'RE USING YOUR PHONE, HOLD ON TO IT. AND WE'RE GONNA DEDICATE

THESE TO THE LORD. THIS IS, THEY CALL THIS HOLY WEEK, BUT YOU

KNOW, THE TITHES ARE HOLY. LEVITICUS 27 SAYS THAT, THAT THE

TITHE IS HOLY TO GOD. WELL, WE'RE OFFERING IT UP BECAUSE THE

LORD HAS NEED. ARE YOU READY TO DO THAT TODAY? OKAY, HOLD YOUR

PHONE UP, YOUR ENVELOPE, THOSE OF YOU ONLINE, LET'S DO IT AS AN

ACT OF AGREEMENT. FATHER, I JUST THANK YOU FOR EVERY ONE OF US.

FATHER, WE HAND THE COLT WILLINGLY BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU

HAVE NEED OF IT, LORD. SO USE IT, GOD, TO YOUR FULLEST INTENT,

WHATEVER YOU DESIRE TO DO. AND FATHER, I JUST THANK YOU,

FATHER, THAT EVERY ONE OF THESE THAT ARE BEING HELD UP, FATHER,

I THANK YOU THAT A SOUL IS ATTACHED TO IT SOMEWHERE,

SOMEHOW. FATHER, WHETHER IT'S A PERSON THAT NEEDS SALVATION OR

SOMEONE THAT NEEDS A MIRACLE IN THEIR BODY, AND WE JUST THANK

YOU. I THANK YOU FOR IT RIGHT NOW. I THANK YOU, FATHER, AS

THEY HOLD UP THEIR GIFTS, EACH AND EVERY ONE. FATHER, YOU HAVE

NEED OF IT, AND THAT MEANS THERE'S SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL

ATTACHED TO AND WE HONOR YOU AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS'

MIGHTY NAME. SAY HALLELUJAH IF YOU AGREE. ALL RIGHT, WELL, YOU

READY TO DO THE DECLARATION? LET'S DO IT. AND LET'S BELIEVE,

BY THE WAY, THAT GOD WILL JUST PACK IN WHAT HE WANTS TO DO AT

LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH SO WE CAN IMPACT THE THOUSANDS AROUND THE

WORLD. SAY THIS WITH ME. SAY, "WE DECLARE THE CAMPUS AND

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

AND DEBT-FREE. WE DECREE IT SHALL HAPPEN WITHOUT 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 AND WE CALL UPON YOU, LORD OF

HOSTS, TO BRING FORTH HEAVENLY ASSISTANCE AND RAISE UP

MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT SHALL GIVE ABUNDANTLY TO THIS WORK. WE

PROPHESY THAT WE SHALL QUADRUPLE, QUADRUPLE, AND THAT

WE WILL QUADRUPLE AGAIN. WE DECLARE NEW THINGS NOW. WE

DECREE MINISTRY AND CAMPUS BE EXPANDED. NOW GIVE GOD A GREAT

BIG SHOUT AS THE USHERS BEGIN TO SERVE YOU. WELL, THANK YOU,

PASTOR BRENDA. THAT WAS WONDERFUL. THAT WAS A GOOD, GOOD

MESSAGE. ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED. USHERS, YOU

CAN USH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIVING, BY THE WAY. WE ARE SO

GRATEFUL FOR THAT. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, IN

FACT, I WENT OUT ON DIFFERENT PLATFORMS AND IT'S SO CUTE, MANY

OF THE ONLINE TODAY, YOU'RE PUTTING LITTLE PALM TREES,

YOU'RE CLAPPING HANDS, JUST LIKE WE SAID, YOU KNOW? AND WHEN YOU

DO THAT, IT JUST KIND OF HELPS YOU TO BE A PART OF WHAT GOD IS

DOING IN THE ANOINTING RIGHT HERE IN THE HOUSE. SO I REALLY

APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT. BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME YESTERDAY,

AND I'LL TELL YOU, I WAS SO PROUD OF THE MEN. I WANNA SHOW

JUST A FEW PICTURES, AND BY THE WAY, THOMAS, ARE YOU HERE?

WHERE'S THOMAS? I CALLED YOU TONY A COUPLE TIMES, I REALIZED,

YESTERDAY. I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOUR DANCE NAME, AND

I'M LIKE, MAN, BUT HE, THERE'S SOME PICTURES.

OKAY, SO THEY SAID I LOOK LIKE A MOB BOSS, OKAY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

NO, WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING FOR? ARE YOU THINKING SO TOO? NOW

THERE'S PASTOR DOUG, THAT WAS PASTOR DOUG. IS THAT NOT SUPER

COOL? LOOK AT THAT, THERE'S PASTOR DODJI AND RYAN. MAN, WHO

WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT? KEEP GOING, KEEP SCROLLING. LOOK AT

THAT. THEY LOOK LIKE BOB ROSS. EXACTLY, CHRIS. YOU LOOK, I

MEAN, THAT'S A COMPLIMENT. YOU KNOW, HE'S A GREAT GUY. LISTEN,

HE'S A GREAT GUY. I THINK HE'S A FANTASTIC GUY. I DON'T, LOOK AT

THESE GUYS. AND YOU KNOW WE'RE LAUGHING, BUT THAT STYLE IS

COMING BACK. I LET DODJI, I ASKED PASTOR DODJI, I SAID, "LET

ME BORROW YOUR AFRO." NOW THERE'S THE TWO GUYS THAT HAD TO

DO A DANCE-OFF, THOMAS AND DAVID, LOOK AT 'EM RIGHT THERE.

I THINK THOMAS SHOULD'VE WON DAVID, JUST BECAUSE HE'S A LOT,

OH, YOU'RE GOING THUMBS DOWN. HE WAS A LOT OLDER, LOOK AT THAT.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

ROBERT, DO YOU WANNA DENY OR CONFIRM THAT THAT'S YOU? HIS

WIFE MADE THE OUTFIT THERE. YOU KNOW, IT JUST REMINDS ME, PASTOR

ANTHONY JUST HAPPENED TO TAKE VACATION AT THIS TIME. HE DIDN'T

WANT TO LOSE. OH, MY GOODNESS. SO NOW YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR MEN

WERE UP TO, GIRLS. LOOK AT THAT MOVE. LOOK AT THAT. HE'S STILL

GOT IT, MAN. ROBERT, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE MOONWALKING OR

SOMETHING. THERE'S THIRD DEGREE JARED. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, ARE YOU ENJOYING IT? OH, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. AND YOU

KNOW, AND IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH. YOU KNOW, NOT THAT WE'RE

LAUGHING AT YOU GUYS. WE'RE NOT LAUGHING AT YOU, BUT. AND SOME

GUYS THOUGHT THEY COULD DANCE, AND WE WON'T SAY WHICH ONES.

THERE'S THE GROUP PHOTO. THERE THEY ALL ARE. LOOK AT THAT.

YEAH, THERE. ALL RIGHT. YOU MIGHT ANYWAY, MAN, THANK YOU FOR

PARTICIPATING. AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING. YOU KNOW,

CAPTAIN, HE MISSED YESTERDAY TOO 'CAUSE HE WANTED TO, JUST DIDN'T

WANNA SHOW HIS DANCE MOVES. BUT NO, ACTUALLY YOU WERE PART OF

THE SOLDIER THAT WAS LAID TO REST, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR

SERVICE AND HELPING OUT WITH THAT. WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT

AS WELL. ALL RIGHT, WELL I'M GONNA PREACH TO YOU. ARE YOU

READY? YES. I WANT YOU TO OPEN UP YOUR BIBLES TO ISAIAH 59. AND

YOU KNOW WHEN I SAY OPEN YOUR BIBLES, I REALLY THINK YOU OUGHT

TO BRING YOUR BIBLES. I REALLY THINK YOU OUGHT TO BRING YOUR

BIBLES. SO, PASTOR DOUG, WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR? WE HAVE SOME,

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT REAL QUICK RIGHT

NOW HERE. SO WE HAVE A FEW PEOPLE HERE THAT WE JUST WANT TO

LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE WELCOME HERE AT LORD OF HOSTS

CHURCH. CAN YOU GRAB A MICROPHONE? OH, YOU GOT ONE?

YEAH, PASTOR DOUG, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THOSE OF YOU

THAT ARE WATCHING THAT GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING. I

UNDERSTAND WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE THAT CAME FROM SOUTH

AFRICA. WOULD YOU STAND RIGHT NOW? WE JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU

HONOR TODAY. YOU'RE HERE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT.

LINDA KNOWS. THERE'S ONE OVER THERE. STAND UP FOR ME SO THAT

WE CAN SEE YOU. THERE'S SOME THERE. WE THANK YOU FOR COMING

TODAY. AND WE HONOR YOU BECAUSE WE'RE SO THANKFUL THAT PRESIDENT

TRUMP CAME UP WITH A PROGRAM TO HELP PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS LEAVE

SOUTH AFRICA AND BE SAFE. AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE, CORRECT?

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WE STAND WITH YOU. CONGREGATION, WE ASK YOU

JUST TO HELP THESE PEOPLE GET TO KNOW THEM AND LOVE ON THEM. WE

LOVE YOU. YES, IS THAT OKAY? AMEN, WE'RE GLAD THAT GOD'S

GRACE IS OVER YOU, AMEN. PRAISE THE LORD. SO MAKE SURE YOU SHOW

SOME CHRISTIAN LOVE AND JUST ASK THEM HOW THEY'RE DOING. THAT

WOULD BE VERY KIND AS THE BRETHREN TO MAKE SURE THAT

THEY'RE DOING OKAY. SO, AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU ARE HERE AND

YOU'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT DOING VERY WELL, PASTOR HANK,

WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING. WE HAVE AN ALTAR TEAM THAT

PASTOR DOUG, AT THE END WHEN WE CLOSE THE SERVICE, THEY'RE

AVAILABLE TO PRAY WITH YOU. AND MAN, THEY'RE GETTING SOME

POWERFUL, POWERFUL ANSWERS TO PRAYER. SO LET THEM PRAY FOR

YOU. LET THEM MINISTER TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO ISAIAH

Isaiah 59 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 59. I ALWAYS LIKE THIS. NOW, SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE

LISTENED TO SOME OF MY PALM SUNDAY MESSAGES, YOU MIGHT SAY,

WELL, PASTOR, I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE. WELL, THEN MY THOUGHT IS

IF YOU HAVE THAT IDEA, DON'T READ ABOUT THE CRUCIFIXION

THEN OR THE RESURRECTION. WE NEED TO GO BACK SO THAT WE CAN

APPRECIATE IT. AND SOMETHING THAT I ALWAYS DO EVERY YEAR, I'M

GONNA GIVE YOU A CHALLENGE. WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT TODAY IS

GO BACK AND READ OUT OF THE GOSPELS, THE ACCOUNT, AND THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WHAT HAPPENED ON PALM SUNDAY? WHAT

HAPPENED THAT DAY? WHAT HAPPENED WITH WHAT'S ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE

THIS WEEK WITH GOOD FRIDAY, AND WHAT JESUS WENT THROUGH. READ

ABOUT IT. READ ABOUT HIS SACRIFICE AND SUFFERING, IT'LL

MAKE YOU LOVE HIM EVEN MORE. AND I BELIEVE IN ALL MY HEART

AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF HIM AND HIS HEART, I THINK HE WOULD

REALLY LIKE IT IF WE TAKE A MOMENT TO JUST GET IN THE

SCRIPTURES AND REALLY READ ABOUT THE AMAZING ACT OF LOVE

THAT HE GAVE TO US. AND I KNOW I HAVE BEEN AND

IT'S TOUCHED MY HEART EVERY TIME. AND I JUST,

I'LL STOP READING AND I'LL LOOK UP AND I'LL SAY, YOU KNOW

YESHUA, THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE. YOU ARE AN AMAZING SAVIOR.

YOU'RE AN AMAZING LORD. AND SO I JUST WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU. NOW

LET'S LOOK HERE 'CAUSE I WANNA BASE MY FOUNDATION OF WHAT I'M

GONNA SAY TO YOU OFF OF THIS SCRIPTURE. WE'RE GONNA TALK

ABOUT THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. NOW YOU SAY, WELL, WHAT DOES

COUNTER MEAN? COUNTER MEANS TO BRING AN ACTION THAT IS IN

OPPOSITION. TO RETALIATE, TO NULLIFY, RESPOND AND TO OPPOSE.

SO NOW, NOTICE THE SCRIPTURE, BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE LORD OF

THE COUNTER. "SO SHALL THEY FEAR THE NAME OF THE LORD FROM

THE WEST, AND HIS GLORY FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN. WHEN THE

ENEMY SHALL COME IN," NOW YOU NEED TO STOP. "WHEN THE ENEMY

SHALL COME IN." OFTENTIMES, THE ENEMY MAY COME IN BUT REALLY,

I'VE BEEN TOLD IN THE ORIGINAL WRITING IS WHEN THE

ENEMY SHALL COME IN, PAUSE, STOP, WATCH GOD'S COUNTER, WATCH

GOD'S RESPONSE. IT'S GREATER THAN THE ENEMY COMING IN. IT'S

LIKE A FLOOD, THAT'S TALKING ABOUT THE LORD. THAT'S TALKING

ABOUT THE LORD OF THE COUNTER, THE LORD WHO OPPOSES THE DEVIL,

THE LORD WHO RETALIATES ON THE DEVIL, THE LORD WHO HAS VICTORY

OVER THE DEVIL, JUST LIKE YOU DO. AND LIKE A FLOOD, GOD'S

RESPONSE, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL RAISE UP A COUNTER OR A

STANDARD AGAINST HIM. NOW, I WANT YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TO

LOOK UP HERE AT ME AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE LISTENING HERE.

THIS IS WHAT PALM SUNDAY IS ABOUT. YES, IT'S ABOUT THE PALM

BRANCHES, BUT IT'S ABOUT GOD COUNTERING THE PLAN OF THE ENEMY

THROUGH WHAT IS CALLED A REDEMPTIVE PLAN. IN FACT, HOW

MANY OF YOU, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT HERE IN MATTHEW 21. SO I WANT

YOU TO GO THERE IN MATTHEW 21. BUT AS YOU'RE GOING TO MATTHEW

21, I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING THAT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. I'VE

SHOWED THESE PICTURES BEFORE OF THE DONKEY, OF HOW EVEN THE VERY

DONKEY ON THE BACK OF THE DONKEY THAT JESUS RODE IN ON, YOU CAN

SEE THE CROSS, YOU CAN SEE THE PLAN OF REDEMPTION, YOU CAN SEE

THE LORD WHO IS COUNTERING ALL OF THE CURSE OF SIN, OF EVIL,

SICKNESS, DISEASE, RIGHT? EVERYTHING THAT THE CURSE

REPRESENTED, EVERYTHING THAT THE ENEMY WHO COMES TO STEAL, KILL,

AND DESTROY REPRESENTS. JESUS EVEN SAID IT IN JOHN 10. YOU

WANNA SEE THE LORD OF THE COUNTER? HE SAYS, "THE DEVIL

STEALS, KILLS, AND DESTROYS." BUT THEN JESUS SAYS, "BUT,"

HERE'S THE COUNTER, "I'VE COME TO GIVE YOU LIFE AND LIFE MORE

ABUNDANTLY." SHOW THOSE PICTURES OF THE DONKEY'S BACK.

THIS LITERALLY, DID YOU EVER NOTICE ON THE BACK OF A DONKEY

IS A CROSS? BECAUSE JESUS RODE IN ON A DONKEY THAT HAD A CROSS

JUST LIKE THAT TO SHOW THAT HE WAS COMING TO REDEEM

US FROM OUR TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE SIN NATURE AND LIFE.

AND SO EVEN THAT IS AMAZING. SO WE'RE GONNA TALK

ABOUT THAT. LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 21. "NOW WHEN THEY DREW

Matthew 21 · chapter mention

NEAR TO JERUSALEM "AND THEY CAME TO BETHPHAGE AT THE MOUNT OF

OLIVES, "JESUS SENT," UNDERLINE THIS, "TWO DISCIPLES." AND

THAT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT 'CAUSE THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE YOU

SEE THE NUMBER TWO VERY OFTEN. AND A LOT OF TIMES TOO IS

COVENANT AGREEMENT, BUT IT ALSO REPRESENTS GOD IS TRYING TO SHOW

THE BLESSING OF SOMETHING AND HOW THAT BLESSING OPPOSES THE

OTHER. RIGHT, REMEMBER THERE WERE TWO MOUNTAINS, THEY WOULD

GET UP ON THE ONE MOUNTAIN AND THEY WOULD DECLARE THE BLESSING.

WHAT WERE THEY THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE? THEY WERE SHOWING WHAT THE

BLESSING WAS TO OVERCOME AND WHAT IT WAS IN OPPOSITION TO ON

THE OTHER MOUNTAIN, THEY WOULD SPEAK THE CURSES, RIGHT? DON'T

SPEAK CURSES. LET YOUR WORDS OPPOSE EVIL. LET YOUR WORDS

OPPOSE WHAT JESUS PAID FOR. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU GOT

THAT SYMPTOM THAT COMES UP IN YOUR BODY, RIGHT? MAYBE YOU'VE

GOT A PAIN IN YOUR KNEES OR SOMETHING. OPPOSE IT. LET THE

LORD OF THE COUNTER, JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS AND THE BIBLE SAYS,

WE'RE GONNA LOOK IN ISAIAH 53, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, HE BORE, HE TOOK YOUR PAINS. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE

PAIN IN YOUR BODY. YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT AND SAY, I OPPOSE THAT,

THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. JESUS TOOK THIS. BUT YOU GOTTA SPEAK

TO IT, JUST LIKE THEY DID ON THAT MOUNTAIN. AND YOU GOTTA

SPEAK TOWARDS THE CURSE. AS YOU COUNTER IT, THAT'S WHAT PALM

SUNDAY IS. IT'S ABOUT THIS COUNTERING, THE OPPOSING,

THE RETALIATING OF GOD AGAINST THE ENEMY ON

YOUR BEHALF, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY THE DONKEY HAD A CROSS

ON IT. IT WAS ALL FOR YOUR BEHALF. AND BY THE WAY, YOU

COULD READ IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY THAT A DONKEY WAS

THE ONLY THING THAT WAS REDEEMED OUTSIDE OF MANKIND BY A LAMB.

THERE'S A WHOLE ‘NOTHER MESSAGE IN THAT. MAYBE I'LL PREACH ON

THAT NEXT YEAR, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S IN DEPTH. BUT SAYING TO

THESE TWO DISCIPLES, GO INTO THE VILLAGE OPPOSITE YOU AND

IMMEDIATELY, WATCH THIS, YOU'RE GONNA SEE TWO AGAIN, YOU'RE

GONNA SEE A DONKEY TIED AND A COLT WITH HER. SO YOU SEE A

DONKEY, YOU SEE A MAMA DONKEY, AND YOU SEE HER COLT. IN FACT,

IT REMINDS ME, I THOUGHT I SAW JANELLE HERE, SHE TRAINS

BEAUTIFUL HORSES. OH, THERE YOU ARE. HEY STAND UP. STAND UP

PLEASE JANELLE. I AM FASCINATED BY WHAT YOU DO. I'M SERIOUS.

SO, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT WHAT SHE DOES. SHOW US PICTURES.

THIS IS WHAT SHE DOES, SHE TRAINS THESE BEAUTIFUL

HORSES. AND WHAT ARE THEY AGAIN, WHAT KIND ARE THEY? ARABIAN, OH,

THEY'RE ARABIANS. LOOK AT HER, THAT'S HER, I MEAN, THAT IS SO

FASCINATING. AND JESUS SAID, "WE'RE GONNA RIDE BACK ON A

HORSE." SO I NEED YOU TO HELP TRAIN ME BEFORE, YOU KNOW, I

DON'T WANNA BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT BEHIND UP IN HEAVEN, YOU KNOW, I

NEED YOU TO HELP ME. THANK YOU FOR STANDING, BUT LOOK AT THAT

ONE, THAT IS A GORGEOUS HORSE. I BET SHE COULD TEACH SOME OF US

MEN HOW TO MOVE, MAYBE. NOW LOOK, I JUST HOLD THAT PICTURE.

SO LOOK AT THAT. SHE TRAINED THAT MAMA AND THE LITTLE

ARABIAN, WHAT DO THEY CALL THE LITTLE ONE? A FILLY. OH, SO IT'S

FROM PHILADELPHIA. SO NO, I'M JUST, I'M MESSING, I'M MESSING,

I'M MESSING. SO ANYWAY, HERE IT IS. BUT SO IT KIND OF GIVES YOU

A PICTURE. I THOUGHT OF HER AND I JUST WANTED, YOU KNOW, AS I

JUST READ THAT ABOUT THE MOTHER DONKEY AND THE LITTLE ONE, I

THOUGHT OF YOU AND I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING. AND

THAT BEAUTIFUL PICTURE, THAT IS JUST AMAZING. I WANT BOTH OF

THEM, GOD. ALL RIGHT, BRENDA, I WANT A HORSE FOR CHRISTMAS.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT, I WANT A HORSE FOR CHRISTMAS. MOM, I KNOW

YOU'RE WATCHING. WE CALL HEALING OVER YOU TODAY, BY THE WAY. I

KNOW, MOM, YOU NEVER GOT ME A HORSE AND I ALWAYS ASKED. SO,

ALL RIGHT, NOW WATCH THIS. LOOSE THEM AND BRING THEM TO ME. AND

IF ANYONE SAYS TO YOU, HEY, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU MIGHT GET SOME

OPPOSITION, YOU MIGHT GET SOME COUNTERING IN RETURN. IF ANYONE

SAYS ANYTHING TO YOU, YOU SHALL SAY THE LORD HAS NEED OF IT. AND

IMMEDIATELY HE'LL SEND THEM. LET'S KEEP READING THROUGH THE

STORY, THIS IS GREAT. AND ALL THIS WAS DONE THAT IT MIGHT BE

FULFILLED, WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET SAYING, THIS IS SO

POWERFUL, OH MY GOODNESS. TELL THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, BEHOLD,

NOTICE THE WORD TO DESCRIBE JESUS. YOUR KING IS COME TO YOU

LOWLY, SITTING ON A DONKEY, A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY. SO

THE DISCIPLES WENT AND DID AS JESUS COMMANDED. NOTICE, TOO,

AGAIN, THEY BROUGHT THE DONKEY AND THE COLT, THEY LAID THEIR

CLOTHES ON THEM, THEY SET HIM ON THEM, AND A VERY GREAT

MULTITUDE, JUST LIKE WE WERE DOING TODAY, BEGAN TO SPREAD

THEIR CLOTHES ON THE ROAD, SO TO SPEAK. AND OTHERS CUT DOWN

BRANCHES AND THEY BEGAN TO WAVE THEM. NOW NOTICE WHAT THEY SAID.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT 'CAUSE THIS IS PSALM 118. THEY HAD BEEN

DOING THIS FOR YEARS. AND THE CRY OF THEIR HEART WAS, BLESSED

IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. HOSANNA, WHAT DOES

THAT MEAN? THE LORD SAVES, THE LORD SAVES, THE LORD SAVES. MAN,

WHEN WE WERE DOING THAT TODAY, WE WERE DECLARING EVERYTHING

THAT JESUS PAID FOR THROUGH HIS SALVATION OF US AND FOR US HAS

BEEN PROVIDED AND MANIFESTED, AND GOD MADE THE WAY AND HAS

GONE BEFORE YOU. THAT'S WHY YOU KEEP YOUR WORDS RIGHT. YOU

COUNTER, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. EVEN IF YOU'RE SITTING

THERE RIGHT NOW OR YOU'RE WATCHING, AND YOU'RE LIKE,

"WELL, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT. I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING

DIFFERENT. COUNTER WITH YOUR WORDS. AND I'M TELLING YOU, THEY

WERE DOING THIS FOR 2,000 YEARS AND IT FINALLY SHOWED UP. AND

THE PROBLEM WAS, I'M GONNA SHOW YOU, THEY DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE

IT. THEY DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT. HOW DO WE KNOW, PASTOR? KEEP

READING. IN VERSE 10, "AND WHEN HE HAD COME INTO JERUSALEM, "ALL

THE CITY WAS MOVED." AND HERE'S WHAT THEY SAID, "WHO IS THIS?"

NOW, HE HAD BEEN PERFORMING MIRACLES. HE HAD BEEN AROUND

JERUSALEM. HE HAD BEEN IN JERUSALEM. JESUS SPENT HIS

MINISTRY MINISTERING, AND YET NOW THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO

SAY, "WHO IS THIS?" BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE

US. I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT JOHN CHAPTER 8. LOOK AT HOW MANY

John 8 · chapter mention

TIMES THEY WOULD SAY THIS ABOUT JESUS. THEY CONSTANTLY WOULD

ARGUE OVER THE IDENTITY OF WHO JESUS IS. THAT'S WHY I DON'T GET

INTO ARGUMENTS WITH PEOPLE. I JUST TELL THEM WHAT JESUS SAID

ABOUT HIMSELF, WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, AND I LET THAT

SPEAK. RIGHT, LOOK AT JOHN CHAPTER 8. THEN THEY SAID UNTO

John 8 · chapter mention

HIM, WHO ARE YOU? JUST LIKE, AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, EVEN THE

SAME THAT I SAID TO YOU FROM THE BEGINNING, I'VE BEEN TELLING

YOU, I AM. AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, YOU'RE USING THE NAME OF

GOD, I AM. AND THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, I AM. I AM THE BREAD OF

LIFE. I AM YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD. I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. I

MEAN, HOW MANY MORE TIMES DO I NEED TO SAY IT TO YOU? AND THEN

JESUS GETS IN THIS DISCOURSE, AND I'M ACTUALLY WRITING THIS IN

MY BOOK THAT I'M ALMOST DONE WITH CALLED BECOMING A FRIEND OF

GOD, WHERE I TALK ABOUT TWO FATHERS. YOU HAVE YOUR HEAVENLY

FATHER, AND THEN JESUS IN JOHN 8 POINTS OUT IN JOHN 8:44,

John 8:44

HE SAYS, "YOU'RE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL." BUT LET'S READ ON,

LOOK AT A FEW MORE EXAMPLES OF THE BOOK OF JOHN. LOOK AT JOHN

John 8:53

8:53. THEY SAID THIS, THIS IS SO AMAZING. ARE YOU GREATER THAN

OUR FATHER ABRAHAM? AND THAT'S WHEN JESUS SAYS, "MAN, YOU DON'T

EVEN KNOW WHO I AM." WHICH IS DEAD AND THE PROPHETS ARE DEAD.

WHO DO YOU MAKE YOURSELF OUT TO BE? LOOK AT JOHN 10, MAN,

THEY'RE SO BOTHERED BY IT NOW. JOHN CHAPTER 10, VERSE 24. THEN

John 10:24

CAME THE JEWS AROUND ABOUT HIM AND SAID, "HEY, HOW LONG ARE YOU

GONNA MAKE US DOUBT?" IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT WE

DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. HUH? THAT'D BE LIKE ME COMING EVERY

WEEK SAYING, "PASTOR HANK, PASTOR HANK," AND THEN YOU POINT

YOUR FINGER AT ME AND SAY, "TELL US PLAINLY, HOW LONG ARE YOU

GONNA MAKE US DOUBT? "ARE YOU REALLY THE PASTOR?" I KNOW,

MAYBE SOMETIMES THEY DON'T ACT LIKE IT WHEN THEY GOT A WIG ON,

YOU KNOW, WITH LIKE A, YOU KNOW, AFRO AND, YOU KNOW. DON'T

COMMENT, DON'T DO THE WOO, YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. BUT HERE'S

THE POINT. THEY KEPT WONDERING, WHO IS JESUS? NOW LET'S GO BACK

HERE TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 21, VERSE 10, BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS,

Matthew 21:10

"THE MULTITUDE SAID, THIS IS JESUS, THE PROPHET FROM NAZARETH

OF GALILEE. NOW WHY DID THEY SAY, WHO IS THIS? WHY OF ALL

DAYS WOULD THEY SAY, WHO IS THIS? YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON PALM SUNDAY. I'M JUST GONNA READ, I

THINK I CAN DO A BETTER JOB TO JUST EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT HISTORY

LITERALLY SAID, WHAT THE TRADITION AND THE CUSTOM WAS. SO

THE MORNING OF PALM SUNDAY, THE HIGH PRIEST WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED

OTHER YOUNGER, NOT AS HIGH RANKING PRIESTS, THEY WOULD

MARCH LITERALLY FROM THE TEMPLE AND THEY WOULD GO THROUGH THE

STREETS OF JERUSALEM AND THEY WOULD MARCH ALL THE WAY OUT TO

THE CITY WALL. AND THERE WOULD BE PRIESTS THAT WOULD LINE THE

STREETS TO GATHER THE PEOPLE TOGETHER. SO THE PRIEST WOULD

SAY, ALL RIGHT, THIS IS THE MOMENT NOW, PALM SUNDAY, RIGHT?

THAT WE ARE LITERALLY GOING TO GO UP TO BETHLEHEM 'CAUSE THAT'S

WHERE YOU HAD TO GET THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB. ALL THE LAMBS

WERE BORN ON THE OUTSIDE OF BETHLEHEM ON THE HILLSIDE,

RIGHT? THEY HAD TO GET A LAMB THERE. AND THE LAMB THAT WOULD

BE CHOSEN THAT YEAR, EVERY YEAR, THAT WAS, IT HAD TO BE WITHOUT

SPOT, HAD TO BE WITHOUT BLEMISH, HAD TO BE A MALE. AND IT HAD TO

BE BORN IN A MANGER OR A FEEDING TROUGH. AND SO THIS YEAR WAS NO

DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE YEARS THAT WAS GOING TO, THEY WERE

GONNA SACRIFICE THIS LITTLE LAMB, THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD

LITERALLY GO UP TO BETHLEHEM TO GET THIS LAMB, AND THEN GUESS

WHAT HE WOULD DO? IN THE MEANTIME, THE OTHER PRIESTS THAT

WERE WITH HIM WOULD COME BACK WITH HIM, BUT OTHER PRIESTS

WOULD GATHER ALL THESE MULTITUDES, AND THEY WOULD SAY,

"CUT OFF THE BRANCHES, TAKE YOUR GARMENTS, GET READY, BECAUSE THE

HIGH PRIEST IS COMING THIS YEAR. HE IS COMING WITH THE LITTLE

LAMB THAT WAS BORN IN A MANGER. AND HE'S COMING AND HE'S RIDING

ON A DONKEY. AND THE CITY GATE IS ABOUT TO OPEN. AND GUESS

WHAT? THE BEGINNING OF THE COVERING OF YOUR SIN FOR ANOTHER

YEAR IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. BUT THIS YEAR IT WAS DIFFERENT,

BECAUSE THE HIGH PRIEST WAS OVER THERE GATHERING THE LAMB FROM

BETHLEHEM, THE MANGER, AND HERE COMES THE LAMB OF GOD. JESUS,

THE LAMB OF GOD, THE TRUE LAMB, THE WORTHY LAMB, OUR LAMB. AND

HE IS COMING, RIDING ON A DONKEY, JUST LIKE THE HIGH

PRIEST, AND HE'S STANDING IN A PROPHETIC MOMENT OF WHAT HE'S

GETTING READY AFTER HE SACRIFICES HIS BODY AS THE LAMB,

SHEDS HIS BLOOD, AND HAS THE MOST GRUESOME, GRUESOME,

GRUESOME TORTURE OF ANY HUMAN FOR US. AND HE'S ABOUT THEN TO

ASCEND AFTER HE'S RESURRECTED AND CARRY HIS BLOOD AS THE LAMB

OF GOD AND BE DECLARED THE HIGH PRIEST. WHERE OUR SINS ARE NOT

JUST COVERED. AS FAR AS EAST IS TO THE WEST, THEY WILL BE

REMEMBERED NO MORE. AND SO NOW JESUS IS RIDING IN ON THE

DONKEY. THEY'RE EXPECTING THE HIGH PRIEST, AND HERE'S THIS

JESUS GUY. AND HE IS THE LAMB, HE DIDN'T NEED TO CARRY ONE.

AND THEY THROW OPEN THE CITY GATES JUST LIKE THEY DID

EVERY YEAR. AND THIS TIME THEY SEE JESUS ACTING IN THE

PROPHETIC ACT OF THE HIGH PRIEST THAT HE SHALL BECOME AS THE

SACRIFICED LAMB. AND NOTICE THEIR RESPONSE. MATTHEW 21,

Matthew 21:10

VERSE 10, "WHO IS THIS?" IT DIDN'T MEET THEIR EXPECTATION.

IT DIDN'T MEET THEIR TRADITION. THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE

CAREFUL. YOU CAN NOT SERVE GOD ACCORDING TO YOUR TRADITION.

YOU CAN'T SERVE GOD BY YOUR RITUALS, BECAUSE JESUS WILL

MESS THAT UP. I REMEMBER I HAD A HINDU WORSHIPING DOCTOR. HE

MIGHT BE WATCHING. HE USED TO WATCH, I DON'T KNOW IF

YOU STILL DO. AND I REMEMBER ONE DAY GOING

TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND I HAD GIVEN THEM A DON'T

LEAVE GOD ALONE BOOK THAT I WROTE. I TOLD THEM, I SAID,

"READ THIS." AND WE WOULD GET IN DISCUSSIONS AND NOTHING THAT I

WOULD EVER SAY TO THEM WOULD MAKE A DENT. AND ONE DAY THEY

SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, "WE HAVE ALL THESE GODS." I SAID, "YOUR

GODS MAKE ME NERVOUS." YOU KNOW, THEY GOT ARMS THAT ARE OUT OF

THEIR HEADS AND THEIR EYES LIGHT UP AND SERPENT TONGUES. THEY

SAID, "OH YEAH, WE SET UP RAISINS FOR ALL OF OUR GODS." I

SAID, "REALLY?" AND THEY HAVE LIKE A MILLION GODS. AND SO I

GAVE THEM, I SAID, "I WANT YOU TO READ THIS BOOK, DON'T LEAVE

GOD ALONE." AND THEY SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, GOD IS LIKE AN

ELEPHANT. "YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE BLIND AND YOU PUT AN ELEPHANT IN

A ROOM "AND THE BLIND GUY WOULD TOUCH THE EARS, "THOSE THAT

TOUCH THE EAR, THEY WOULD SAY, OH, GOD IS LIKE THIS EAR, BUT

IT'S STILL AN ELEPHANT. OR GOD IS LIKE THE TRUNK, OR GOD IS

LIKE THE TAIL. AND IT'S ALL THE SAME GOD. JUST LIKE ALL OF OUR

GODS, IT'S ALL THE SAME. AND I SAID, "REALLY? "A BLIND GUY,

HUH?" "OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH." I SAID, "WELL, THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN ME AND YOU IS "I ONCE WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE." AND

GOD AIN'T LIKE THAT. HERE'S WHO HE IS. AND SO I HAND HIM THE

BOOK, AND I SAID, "NOW I'M GONNA PRAY THAT JESUS IS GONNA AND I'M

GONNA MAKE HIMSELF REAL TO YOU. THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER, LIKE

THEY SAID, ASK WHO IS THIS, WHO IS HE? I SAID, I'M GONNA PRAY,

DO YOU MIND IF I PRAY? AND WHEN I GOT DONE PRAYING, THEY SAID,

HOW COME MY BODY IS SO HOT, IT FEELS LIKE FIRE? AND THEN THE

ONE DOCTOR, I FELT LIKE ELECTRICITY GO THROUGH MY BODY,

WHAT IS THIS? I SAID, IT'S GOD, IT'S JESUS. AND I PRAY THAT HE

WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF. SO THEN, ABOUT 30 DAYS LATER, I CAME BACK

BECAUSE I HAD MY ANNUAL PHYSICAL, YOU HAVE TO COME

BACK. AND THEY'RE CRYING. I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU CRYING

FOR?" HE SAID, "COME, COME, COME. QUICK, QUICK, QUICK."

AND THERE WAS A WHOLE LINE OF PEOPLE. MAN THIS IS GOOD

SERVICE, DON'T HAVE TO WAIT, MAN. SO I GET BACK IN THE BACK

AND THEY'RE CRYING. THEY SAID, "I GOTTA TELL YOU WHAT

HAPPENED" AND THEY'RE SHAKING. I SAID, "WHAT HAPPENED?" THEY

SAID, "WE WERE PUTTING OUT OUR RAISINS FOR OUR GODS,

AND ONE DAY, AS I WAS PUTTING OUT THE RAISINS

FOR OUR GODS. I SAT DOWN AND JESUS CHRIST WALKED IN

MY ROOM. I SAID, "HUH?" AND HE SAT DOWN AND HE SAID, "I AM

JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

I AM YOUR SAVIOR AND I AM YOUR LORD.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

I SAID, WOW. SHE GOES, TELL ME MORE. AND I SAID, WHAT'S GOING

ON WITH YOUR LIFE? SHE GOES, OH, I PUT RAISINS OUT FOR HIM. I

WANT HIM TO COME AGAIN. I SAID, WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO

PUT RAISINS OUT. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST PUT YOUR HEART

OUT. PUT YOUR HEART OUT, RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT? ISN'T THAT

POWERFUL? SO THEY WERE GOING, WHO IS THIS? WHO IS THIS? BUT

NOW I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING

GOING ON THAT WAS SO MAGNIFICENT. THERE WERE TWO

PROCESSIONS GOING ON THAT DAY THAT HISTORY WILL TELL YOU. AND

THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS

HAPPENING. SO, I WANT YOU TO SEE IN SCRIPTURE, THIS IS

PROFOUND. THERE WERE TWO PROFESSIONS THAT WERE TAKING

PLACE IN 30 AD. SO JESUS NOW WAS COMING IN TO THE EAST GATE,

WHERE HE ALWAYS WENT. HE WAS ENTERING IN TOWARDS THE EAST

GATE. AND THERE WAS SO MUCH NOISE, AND THERE WAS SO MUCH

OF WHAT YOU GUYS WERE DOING, WAVING YOUR HANDS AND PUTTING

THE PALM BRANCHES DOWN AND THEY WERE DECLARING, "HOSANNA,

HOSANNA." IT WAS STIRRING UP THINGS. NOW YOU HAVE TO

UNDERSTAND THERE WERE TWO THINGS THAT CAUSED THE OTHER PROCESSION

TO HAPPEN ON THE WEST SIDE. SO YOU HAVE JESUS OVER HERE ON THE

EAST, HE'S RIDING IN ON A DONKEY, AND ON THE WEST SIDE,

NOW KEEP IN MIND, EAST, WEST. TWO KINGDOMS ARE COLLIDING. THE

LORD OF THE COUNTER IS COMING AGAINST WHAT THE OTHER

PROCESSION REPRESENTED. THAT WHICH WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM

THROUGH, ARE YOU READY, THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT, AND THOSE THAT

CONVINCED HIM TO BE OFFERED UP AS THE SACRIFICE. ARE YOU

FOLLOWING ME? TWO PROCESSIONS, NOW WATCH. ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS

PILATE. AND HE CAUGHT, THEY CAUGHT WIND. CAESAR AND ALL OF

THIS, HEROD THAT THE JEWS WERE DECLARING SOMEONE AS THEIR KING.

YOU COULD READ THAT IN JOHN CHAPTER 6. JESUS HAD TO ESCAPE

John 6 · chapter mention

BECAUSE HE SAID, IF I DON'T LEAVE RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE GONNA

TRY TO MAKE ME KING. AND SO HE LEFT. SO THEY KNEW THAT, IT GOT

BACK TO THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT, THAT'S WHY THEY HAD A

PROCESSION. AND PILATE WAS RIDING IN ON, AND HISTORY SAYS

ON THIS WHITE HORSE. WHAT ARE WE GONNA ALL RIDE IN ON? YEAH, AND

IT SAYS THAT THE NOISE THAT WAS TRYING TO COUNTER JESUS AND THE

WORSHIP FROM THE PEOPLE, THEY HAD THEIR SPEARS. HAVE YOU EVER

HEARD THAT INTIMIDATION? LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE BRITISH, YOU WOULD

USE THEIR DRUMS. AND THEY WERE MARCHING IN ON THE OUTSIDE FROM

THE WEST GOING EAST. JESUS WAS COUNTERING WITH A PROPHETIC ACT,

OPPOSING THE ENEMY, OPPOSING THE ENEMY'S PLAN, RETALIATING, BUT

YET NOBODY KNEW IT. THEY'RE JUST SAYING, OH, HERE COMES, HE'S

LOWLY AND MEEK, RIDING IN ON A DONKEY FROM THE EAST GOING WEST.

NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT. SO THEY'RE POUNDING OVER HERE THE

PROCESSION. THEY CAUGHT WIND OF ANOTHER THING. IN JOHN CHAPTER

John 11 · chapter mention

11, LAZARUS HAD JUST BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD AND IT CREATED,

YOU COULD READ THIS IN JOHN 11. YOU CAN READ FROM VERSES 45 DOWN

INTO VERSE 53. THERE WAS SUCH A STIR IN THE CITY OF LAZARUS

BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD. THEY DIDN'T WANNA JUST KILL JESUS,

THEY WANTED TO KILL LAZARUS. SO NOW THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, THIS MAN

IS CREATING PROBLEMS. SO HEROD AND CAESAR GIVE ORDERS. PILOT,

YOU'RE ALREADY NOT DOING A GOOD JOB. THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID. YOU

ARE IN TROUBLE PRETTY MUCH, AND IF YOU WANNA SAVE YOUR RANK AND

YOUR LOCATION, YOU'RE GONNA GO DOWN THERE AND YOU'RE GONNA SORT

THIS OUT, AND THERE BETTER NOT BE AN INSURRECTION. YOU BETTER

COUNTER THIS THAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THEIR KING. HOW MANY ARE

SEEING IT? SO NOW FOLLOW ME, LOOK HERE, I WANNA SHOW YOU

THIS. LOOK AT EXODUS CHAPTER 10, VERSE 13. NOTICE THE DIRECTION

Exodus 10:13

OF SOMETHING. EXODUS CHAPTER 10, VERSE 13. "AND MOSES STRETCHED

Exodus 10:13

FORTH HIS ROD OVER THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND THE LORD BROUGHT A,"

WHAT WIND? WHAT DIRECTION WAS IT? AN EAST WIND. AND WHAT

HAPPENED ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT? LOCUSTS. JUDGMENT. HOW DID IT

COME? FROM WHAT DIRECTION? EAST. WHERE WAS JESUS ENTERING IN? HE

WAS ENTERING INTO THE EAST. NOW, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE

LOCUSTS. AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT, I THINK IT'S VERSE 19, MIGHT

BE VERSE SOMEWHERE IN THERE, 18, 19. NOW WATCH WHAT GOD USES TO

COUNTER IT. AND THE LORD TURNED A MIGHTY STRONG, WHAT WIND? WEST

WIND. AND WHAT DID HE DO? HE TOOK AWAY THE LOCUSTS, ALL

RIGHT? LOOK AT PSALM 103, AND LOOK AT VERSE 12. WHAT DOES

PSALM 103 SAY? AS FAR AS THE WHAT? WHY DOES IT MENTION THE

EAST FIRST? 'CAUSE EAST IN THE BIBLE REPRESENTS JUDGMENT. WHEN

CAIN WAS REMOVED, OR NOT CAIN, ADAM AND EVE, RIGHT? THEY WERE

CAST OUT EASTWARD, JUDGMENT. AND THEY WENT FROM THE, YOU CAST

YOUR SINS AS FAR AS THE EAST, THAT'S JUDGMENT, TO WHAT

HAPPENED TO THE WEST? IT WAS REMOVED. THAT'S MERCY. WHEN THE

PRIEST WOULD TAKE OF THE LAMB EVERY YEAR FROM THE LITTLE

MANGER IN BETHLEHEM, JUST LIKE WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN ON

PALM SUNDAY THAT YEAR, RIGHT? THEY WOULD ALWAYS ENTER IN

TOWARDS THE EAST GATE. AND THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THE PRIEST,

THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD TAKE THAT LITTLE LAMB THAT WAS CHOSEN AND

HE WOULD GO INTO, RIGHT? HE WOULD GO INTO THE TEMPLE, AND HE

WOULD GO IN THROUGH THE EAST GATE, CARRYING THE JUDGMENT, THE

GUILT OF EVERY PERSON'S SINS. AND GUESS WHICH DIRECTION HE WAS

HEADING? WEST, BECAUSE WEST, WHETHER IT BE THE TABERNACLE

THAT WAS IN THE WILDERNESS OR THE TEMPLE, THEY ENTERED IN EAST

WITH THE SINS, THE JUDGMENT, EVERY ONE OF US HAVE SINNED, AND

THEY WOULD ALWAYS HEAD WEST TOWARDS THE MERCY SEAT. JESUS IS

COUNTERING. HE'S COUNTERING OUR SIN. HE'S COUNTERING WHAT

THEY'RE GONNA DECLARE HIM GUILTY OF, THAT HE'S INNOCENT, BUT WE

ARE THE GUILTY ONES. AND AS THE LAMB OF GOD, JUST LIKE THEY DID

EVERY YEAR, NOW HE'S COMING SAYING, LORD, THEY'RE GUILTY.

BUT I AM THE LAMB OF GOD, AND I'VE COME TO TAKE AWAY THEIR

SINS. AND I'M GOING IN THROUGH THE EAST GATE, JUST LIKE THE

PRIEST DID EVERY YEAR. I'M CARRYING IT UPON MYSELF NOW.

THEIR SINS, THEIR INIQUITIES, THE CHASTISEMENT, THE PUNISHMENT

THAT THEY DESERVE IS UPON ME, ACCORDING TO ISAIAH 53. AND I'M

RIDING IN ON THIS DONKEY THAT HAS A CROSS 'CAUSE I'M ABOUT TO

BEAR MY CROSS. I'M ABOUT TO TAKE THEIR SHAME AND I'M HEADING WEST

BECAUSE LORD I'M HEADING SOMEWHERE. I'M GONNA HEAD NOT

ONLY THROUGH THE CROSS, BUT THE RESURRECTION. I'M GONNA HEAD

TOWARDS THE MERCY SEAT IN HEAVEN. AND I'M GOING TO ENTER

IN, I'M GONNA PUT MY BLOOD THERE, THAT WILL FOREVER SPEAK

OF YOUR MERCY. BECAUSE THAT'S WHY HEBREWS 4:16 SAYS, NOW WE

Hebrews 4:16

CAN COME, WE CAN ENTER IN, AND OBTAIN. WE DON'T HAVE

TO ASK, IT SAYS YOU CAN OBTAIN IT. IT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE.

GRACE, MERCY, HELP, BECAUSE JESUS WENT EAST, HEADED TOWARDS

WEST. NOW PILATE, WHAT WAS HE DOING? HISTORY WILL TELL YOU. HE

WAS ACTING ALL MERCIFUL. THAT'S WHY HE CAME IN FROM THE WEST.

BUT WHAT WAS HE REALLY DOING? HE WAS COME TO BRING AND TO

FULFILL JUDGEMENT. HE WAS GONNA DECLARE AN INNOCENT MAN AND

JUDGE HIM AS GUILTY. HOW MANY SEE THIS? NOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO

ALSO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON, HOW MANY REMEMBER WHEN

JESUS... JUST A FEW DAYS. YOU NEED TO READ ABOUT THIS, AND

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. AND SO HE'S STANDING THERE

BEFORE PILATE AND THE ROMAN GUARDS, THEY EACH GET AN

OPPORTUNITY TO PUNCH HIM IN THE MOUTH WITH AN OPEN FIST. THEY

LITERALLY GOT TO TAKE THEIR BEST SHOT AND HIT JESUS. FOR HIM TO

BE ABLE, I'VE OFTEN SAID THIS TO HIM, I SAID, LORD, I DON'T

UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR FACE CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE IT IS. AND YET

THEY KEPT PUNCHING YOU AND PUNCHING YOU AND YOU TOOK THE

PUNCHES FOR US. YOU TOOK THE HITS FOR US, GOD. AND THEN WHAT

THEY DID, NOW WATCH THIS, WHY DID THEY DO THIS? THEY GAVE HIM

A REED, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SCEPTER OF A KING. THEY HANDED

IT TO HIM, PUT A CROWN OF THORNS ON HIS HEAD, WHICH THE BIBLE

SAYS WHEN IT WENT ON HIS HEAD, IT PLATED HIM. IT SPECIFICALLY

USES THE WORD PLATED BECAUSE THOSE THORNS, THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, WERE LIKE THIS, AND IT LITERALLY PIERCED DOWN SO

MUCH THAT IT HIT HIS BONE, IT HIT HIS SKULL. COME ON, HOW

MANY OF YOU EVER HAD HEADACHES OR PAIN THAT IS LIKE IT'S IN

YOUR BONE? HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD THOUGHTS YOU COULDN'T GET

RID OF? LISTEN, IF IT HIT THE SKULL, THERE ISN'T ANY THOUGHTS

THAT WASN'T PAID FOR. NO MATTER HOW DEEP, OR

HOW MUCH IT'S BEEN EMBEDDED INTO YOUR SOUL.

BEAUTIFUL, NOW WATCH THIS. WHAT DID THE ROMAN GUARDS SAY

WHEN THEY HANDED JESUS THE SCEPTER AND THEY HIT HIM OVER

THE HEAD? WHAT DID THEY SAY? HAIL, KING OF THE WHAT? HAIL,

KING OF THE JEWS. WHAT DID THEY USED TO SAY ABOUT CAESAR? HAIL

CAESAR. BECAUSE WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, IN FACT, THEY FOUND

A COIN IN ANCIENT JERUSALEM, IN JERUSALEM, THAT HAD AN

INSCRIPTION OF CAESAR, TIBERIUS IS WHO IT WAS. AND ON THE

INSCRIPTION, IT SAID, "HAIL CAESAR." ON THE BACK OF IT, IT

DECLARED THAT HE WAS THE PRINCE OF PEACE. CAESAR WAS CALLED AND

HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE SON OF GOD. YES, HE WAS CONSIDERED

AND THEY WERE CALLED LORDS. SO HERE YOU HAVE A PROCESSION THAT

IS PROCLAIMING SON OF GOD, LORDSHIP. AND JESUS, NOT THE

COUNTERFEIT, IS COUNTERING IT. GOING, I'M THE SON OF GOD, I'M

THE HIGH PRIEST, I'M THE SACRIFICED LAMB OF GOD. AND

EVERYBODY MISSED IT 'CAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS JUST LOW AND MEEK

AND MILD. NO, BECAUSE EVEN THE DONKEY, MAMA, AND THE LITTLE

BABY DONKEY HAD HIS PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE THAT I'M GONNA SHOW

YOU. IT REALLY WAS A KING COMING IN TO MAKE A POINT. HE WAS THE

LORD OF THE COUNTER. NOW WATCH, THIS IS VERY POWERFUL. BY THE

WAY, I PUT THIS IN A BOOK, AMY. IT'S A GREAT BOOK. HOW MANY OF

YOU DON'T HAVE A, WE WERE CALLING IT A TRILOGY, BUT I'VE

ALREADY RELEASED LORD OF THE FIGHT. WE HAVE THE NEXT ONE

COMING OUT, THE LORD OF THE COUNTER, IT'S ALREADY WRITTEN.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE LORD OF THE DIFFERENCE, IT'S ALREADY

WRITTEN, AND WE'RE WORKING ON THE LORD OF THE CONQUEST. AND

YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THESE WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHO GOD

IS FOR YOU. GIVE HONOR TO GOD, ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL? NOW, LET'S

TALK ABOUT THIS. WHY WERE THERE TWO, TWO DONKEYS, TWO

PROCESSIONS? BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING THAT IS VERY

SIGNIFICANT. HOW MANY REMEMBER THE FIRST PASSOVER? THEY WOULD

TAKE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THEY WOULD PUT IT UPON HOW MANY

SIDE POSTS OF THE DOOR? TWO, TWO SIDE POSTS, RIGHT? ONE ON THE

TOP AND ONE ON THE SIDES. THEY WOULD PUT THE LAMB'S BLOOD. WHY

WAS IT AGAIN TWO? BECAUSE IT MADE THE SHAPE OF A CROSS. WHY

THE CROSS? BECAUSE THIS IS HORIZONTAL, RIGHT? REPRESENTS

THE EARTH REALM, REPRESENTS MAN, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY IT SAYS FROM

THE EAST TO THE WEST, HE'S CAST MANSIONS, JUDGMENT EAST TO THE

WEST. THAT HORIZONTAL PIECE WHEN JESUS WAS HANGING ON THE CROSS

REPRESENTED THAT. WHAT WAS THE VERTICAL PART? GOD COMING DOWN

TO EARTH, TO MAN, AND MAKING THE CONNECTION, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY

THE BLOOD HAD TO BE ON THE TOP AND ON THE BOTTOM BECAUSE GOD

WAS COUNTERING, COMING DOWN, THE WORD BECAME FLESH, AND HERE'S

THE HORIZONTAL, HE CAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US. IT WAS A

COUNTERING ACT. YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS. YOU GO BACK TO EXODUS, AND

YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST PLAGUE WAS JUDGMENT. AND WHAT WAS THE FIRST

PLAGUE THAT WAS JUDGMENT? IT WAS THE BLOOD. THE NILE TURNED INTO

BLOOD. NOW, WHY WAS THERE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BLOOD? HOW

MANY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED ON THE NIGHT OF THE PASSOVER? TAKE

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, PUT IT UPON THE SIDE POSTS. IT STARTED

WITH BLOOD, AND GOD BROUGHT A COUNTER THROUGH BLOOD. WE'RE

ALL, NOW THIS IS SO POWERFUL BECAUSE WHAT DID JESUS DO? LOOK

AT ISAIAH CHAPTER 52, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS. THESE ARE INCREDIBLE

Isaiah 52 · chapter mention

SCRIPTURES THAT YOU NEED TO READ. SO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,

I'VE SHARED THIS WITH MANY JEWS BEFORE. THEY KNOW THESE, IF

THEY'RE SECULAR, THEY DON'T, BUT I'VE HAD ORTHODOX JEWS WHERE

I'VE SAID, "I'LL SHOW YOU WHO YOUR MESSIAH IS." AND I'VE HAD

THEM LITERALLY TRY TO WIPE TEARS AWAY AND NOT ADMIT IT BECAUSE

THEY SEE A PICTURE OF WHAT THEY HAVE UNDERSTOOD AS A RITUAL, AN

ACT. AND JESUS CHRIST FULFILLED THIS. LOOK AT ISAIAH CHAPTER 52.

Isaiah 52 · chapter mention

THIS IS SO POWERFUL THAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND. LOOK AT VERSES 13

THROUGH 15. "BEHOLD, MY SERVANT SHALL DEAL PRUDENTLY. "HE SHALL

BE EXALTED AND EXTOLLED, "AND HE SHALL BE VERY HIGH." THIS IS

TALKING ABOUT JESUS. NOW WATCH, LOOK AT 14 AND 15 NOW. AS MANY

WERE ASTONISHED AT THEE. NOW THAT WORD ASTONISHED IS,

LITERALLY IT MEANS NOT LIKE, OH, WE'RE SO ASTONISHED. IT

LITERALLY HAS A HEBREW CONNOTATION OF WE LOOKED AT HIM

AND WE THREW UP. WHY? IT TELLS YOU WHY. HIS APPEARANCE, WE WERE

ASTONISHED. WE WERE SHOCKED THAT A PERSON COULD BE ALIVE THAT

LOOKED LIKE RAW HAMBURGER MEAT. WE WERE ASTONISHED, LIKE,

SHOCKED, THAT WE VOMITED, THAT ANYONE COULD BE CALLED A HUMAN

BEING HANGING ON THAT CROSS. HIS APPEARANCE WAS SO MARRED. THAT’S

WHY I NEVER, I TRY NOT TO, IN WORSHIP STAND THERE WITH MY EYES

OPEN. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AFTER WHAT HE WENT THROUGH? HANGING

THERE NAKED WITH HIS MALE PARTS HAVING TO SHOW. BUT MORE THAN

THAT, HIS FACE LOOKED LIKE RAW HAMBURGER MEAT, AND HIS BODY.

AND YET, WE STAND LIKE IF WE ARE BETTER THAN HIM? OR WE DON’T

HAVE IT IN OUR HEART, OR OUR ENERGY, OR OUR MIND TO FOCUS

TODAY. “I’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH SOMETHING AT WORK.” YOU DIDN'T

GO THROUGH WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT

I'M GOING THROUGH. NO, I DON'T, BUT I KNOW WHAT HE WENT THROUGH.

AND HOW DARE WE STAND THERE LIKE A TELEPHONE POLE. THAT'S WHAT I

TOLD YOU MEN. COME ON, MAN, BE MIGHTY. BE A WORSHIPER, BE A

PURSUER OF GOD, BE A WEEPER FOR GOD. PUT IT BACK UP. HIS

APPEARANCE WAS SO MARRED MORE THAN ANY MAN. WE PUKED, WE

VOMITED. AND HIS FORM, WHEN WE LOOKED AT HIM, AND WE'RE

LOOKING, HIS GUTS ARE HANGING OUT. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS. HIS

INTESTINES WERE HANGING DOWN FROM BEING WHIPPED. MORE THAN

THE SONS OF MEN, VERSE 15. SO SHALL HE SPRINKLE MANY NATIONS.

HOW DOES HE DO THAT? THROUGH THE BLOOD. THAT'S WHY IN THE NEW

TESTAMENT, FIRST PETER SAYS THAT WE CAN NOW, THROUGH THE BLOOD OF

SPRINKLING. THAT'S HOW YOU CAN HAVE A SCRIPTURE THAT APPLIES TO

PLEADING THE BLOOD. IT'S THE BLOOD OF SPRINKLING. THEY WOULD

SPRINKLE THE BLOOD ON THE NIGHT OF THE PASSOVER. JESUS, IT SAID,

THROUGH HIS BLOOD, HE WOULD SPRINKLE IT. HOW DO WE SPRINKLE

THAT BLOOD TODAY? THROUGH, I PLEAD. I APPLY THAT COVENANT

BLOOD ON THE MERCY SEAT UPON ME AND MY LIFE AND MY WIFE AND MY

CHILDREN AND MY STAFF AND MY CHURCH FAMILY AND E-MEMBERS AND

PARTNERS. LORD, THAT BLOOD IS SPRINKLED. AND AS A RESULT,

THERE IS A PERMANENT COVENANT BOUNDARY LINE ESTABLISHED. PSALM

103, YOU'VE REDEEMED THEM FROM DESTRUCTION. THEY CANNOT BE

CURSED, THAT IT CANNOT BE TOUCHED. THEY CANNOT BE MADE

SICK. THEY ARE WELL, THEY ARE BLESSED. THIS IS HOW I PRAY FOR

YOU EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THAT SPRINKLING THAT HAS COME ON THE

NATIONS. NOW LOOK AT ISAIAH 53. WHOSE REPORT ARE WE GOING TO

BELIEVE? SO ISAIAH 53 VERSE 1, LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS. THIS IS

Isaiah 53:1

WHAT PALM SUNDAY IS ABOUT. "WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? "AND TO

WHOM IS THE ARM OF THE LORD REVEALED? "FOR HE SHALL," WATCH

THIS, "FOR HE SHALL GROW UP BEFORE HIM AS A TENDER PLANT

"AND AS A ROOT OUT OF DRY GROUND. "HE HAS NO FORM OR

COMELINESS THAT WE WOULD DESIRE HIM, "THAT WE SHALL SEE HIM.

"THERE'S NO BEAUTY THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM." VERSE THREE,

THIS IS SO POWERFUL. HE'S DESPISED, OH, NOBODY LIKES ME.

HE'S REJECTED OF MEN, A MAN OF SORROWS, ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF

AND WE HID OUR FACES. THAT'S WHY ISAIAH 52 SAID IT WAS SO BAD,

THEY WERE ASTONISHED, THEY PUKED, THEY HAD TO HIDE THEIR

FACE. NO MOVIE HAS EVER DEPICTED IT. HE WAS DESPISED, WE ESTEEMED

HIM NOT. VERSE 4, THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. THIS IS THE LORD OF

THE COUNTER. WATCH HOW HE COUNTERS. SURELY HE BORE WHAT?

NO, LOOK AT THE WORD OUR. THAT'S CALLED THE PROPITIATION, THE

SUBSTITUTE, THE REPLACEMENT. EVERY TIME YOU SEE THE WORD OUR,

YOU HAVE TO SEE THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. GOD COUNTERED. HE

OPPOSED, HE NULLIFIED, HE TOOK ON A WAR, HE TOOK ON THE BATTLE

TO BRING IT TO VICTORY. HE BORE OUR GRIEFS. COME ON, OUR

SICKNESSES, OUR DISEASES. HE CARRIED OUR SORROWS, WHICH IS

PAINS, YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM. HE WAS STRICKEN, HE WAS SMITTEN OF

GOD AS GOD USED HIM TO COUNTER SIN, SICKNESS, DISEASE, TRAGEDY,

CALAMITY. THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T GET INTO THE DOCTRINAL

MISINFORMATION THAT GOD ONLY HEALED SOME OR ONLY WILL HEAL

SOME AND OTHERS. I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN THE ASSEMBLIES OF

GOD AND I'D ARGUE THIS WITH THEM. AND I SAY, HOW CAN YOU SAY

THAT GOD'S NOT A RESPECTER OF PERSONS, BUT YOU'RE TELLING ME

THAT GOD HEALED THIS GUY, BUT HE WON'T THIS GUY, REALLY? WHAT,

WHAT, WHAT? I SAID, I KNOW GOD, AND I WAS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD

ARGUING WITH THESE GUYS. SAY, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THAT'S NOT THE NATURE OF GOD. I WOULD TAKE HIM TO THIS SCRIPTURE

AND SAY, WAIT A MINUTE. IT DIDN'T SAY SOME, SOME HE BORE

THEIR GRIEFS, WHICH THAT HEBREW WORD IS SICKNESS, DISEASE. HE

DIDN'T SAY, NO HE CARRIED OUR SORROWS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF

THEM. LOOK AT VERSE 5. HE DID IT FOR EVERYBODY. HE ALREADY

PAID FOR IT. THE TRUTH AND MATTER I'D SAY TO THEM IS

YOU'RE ALREADY HEALED. IT'S NOT AN ISSUE OF WELL SOME GET IT,

SOME DON'T BECAUSE OF GOD CHOOSING. SORRY, IT WASN'T YOUR

DAY. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS... AND

I LOVE THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD. DON'T GET ME WRONG. I THINK THEY

NEED TO COME INTO REVIVAL. JUST LIKE MANY OTHER CHURCHES DO. HE

WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED

FOR OUR INIQUITIES, SO HE TOOK IT AS THE LORD OF THE COUNTER.

HE TOOK THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE. AND WITH HIS STRIPES,

MAN, ONLY A FEW OF YOU ARE ALREADY HEALED. I'M SORRY IF

THIS SECTION YOU DIDN'T GET IT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S

'CAUSE YOU DON'T AMEN ON SUNDAY MORNINGS, YOU KNOW, YOU, NO, NO,

NO, I'M KIDDING. NO, IF ARE, IF YOU ARE HEALED, IT'S ALREADY

HAPPENED. IT'S PAST TENSE, RIGHT? 1 PETER 2:24 SAYS YOU

1 Peter 2:24

WERE HEALED. THAT MEANS THERE'S A CORRESPONDING ACTION THAT

BRINGS IT TO A PLACE OF COMPLETION. IT'S ALREADY

HAPPENED. YOU ARE AND YOU WERE, SO WHAT'S THE ARGUMENT? THE

ARGUMENT IS WE HAVE TO POSITION OURSELVES TO RECEIVE. THAT'S WHY

I SAID, COME LIKE A CHILD, QUIT MAKING THINGS SO DIFFICULT. HE'S

THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. ALL RIGHT, LET'S KEEP READING 'CAUSE

I LIKE THIS. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, WE'RE

HEALED, VERSE 6, THIS IS POWERFUL. AND LIKE SHEEP, WE'VE

ALL GONE ASTRAY AND WE'VE TURNED EVERYONE TO OUR OWN WAY. THAT'S

WHY HE CAME IN ON A DONKEY, YOU'RE GONNA SEE, BECAUSE AGAIN,

HE HAD TO COUNTER SOMETHING. THE LORD HAD TO COUNTER SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHY HE CAME IN ON A DONKEY, I'LL SHOW YOU. "AND THE

LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL." VERSE

SEVEN, "HE WAS OPPRESSED, HE WAS AFFLICTED." HE WAS ATTACKED ON

SOCIAL MEDIA. "YET HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH "OR BEGAN TO PUNCH THE

KEYBOARD KEYS." HERE'S HOW YOU KNOW IT WAS BLOODY. HE WAS

BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE WHAT? IT WAS A SLAUGHTER. CAN YOU

IMAGINE THOSE, THE HIGH PRIEST, WHEN HE WOULD GO AND KILL THE

LAMB, HOW MUCH BLOOD MUST'VE GOT EVERYWHERE? I MEAN, I REMEMBER

MY GRANDPA ONE TIME, MOM, YOU WOULD REMEMBER THIS AS YOU'RE

WATCHING, THEY WENT AND CAUGHT A BUNCH OF FISH AND I HAD CAUGHT A

BUNCH OF TROUT. AND I HAD, I MEAN, I LIKED CATCHING FISH, BUT

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT CAME AFTER IT. I WAS LIKE IN FIFTH GRADE

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WELL, IT'S TIME TO EAT

THESE THINGS. I'M LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WELL, YOU KNOW. AND ALL

OF A SUDDEN, MY GRANDMA CALLS ME BACK OUT WITH MY GRANDPA, GET

BACK OUT HERE, HUH? GRANDPA HANDS ME THIS WEIRD LOOKING

KNIFE. I'M LIKE, WHAT IS THAT? HE GOES, YOU JUST CUT IT RIGHT

DOWN THE MIDDLE. I'M LIKE, YOU HAVE TO CUT THAT THING? I SAID,

THAT THING'S GONNA BLEED. OF COURSE IT WOULD BLEED. I POKED

IT AND SOMETHING HAPPENED. AND I'M LIKE, "I AM NOT GONNA EAT

THIS THING." AND MY GRANDPA'S LIKE, "NOTHING, "SHE'S FILETING

THE THING." AND I'M LOOKING AT ALL THIS AND THEN HE REACHES IN

AND ALL THIS STUFF COMES OUT OF IT. "BRENDA, I HAVE JUST TOLD

YOU THE REASON "I DON'T EAT FISH TODAY."

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

"ACTUALLY, SHE MADE ME SOME GREAT FISH LAST NIGHT. "IT WAS

EXCELLENT." YEAH, ANYWAY, SHE SAID CATTLE YARD. NO, I'VE

NEVER HAD TO BUTCHER A COW AND I'M NOT GOING TO. I'D

RATHER HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT AND FLIP AND MAKE SURE IT'S

RIGHT. YOU KNOW AND GET IT RIGHT THERE FOR THAT HAMBURGER.

ALL RIGHT, WHERE WAS I? I'M TRYING TO END IT. PASTOR DOUG,

YOU CAN START HEADING THIS WAY. ALL RIGHT, BUT NOW WATCH THIS,

BECAUSE THIS GETS MORE INTERESTING. OKAY, YOU HAD THE

TWO TABLETS OF THE LAW OF MOSES, RIGHT, THE TEN

COMMANDMENTS. YOU HAD ONE SIDE, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST OBEY THE

COMMANDMENTS YOUR LIFE IS BLESSED. THERE'S THE BLESSING

OF THE COMMANDMENTS. EVERYBODY ALWAYS FOCUSES

ON THE THOU SHALL NOT. WELL, THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE

TO COUNTER THAT, RIGHT? DON'T STEAL. WELL, HOW DO I DO THAT?

BE A PERSON OF HONOR. RIGHT? THOU SHALL NOT LIE. WELL, HOW DO

I DO THAT? COUNTER IT, TELL THE TRUTH. THOU SHALL GO TO CHURCH,

REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY. HOW DO I GET OVER THAT? BE CONSISTENT.

OKAY, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. SO NOW LET'S BE BROUGHT FORTH

NOW. HERE IT IS, IT'S PALM SUNDAY. YOU SEE THESE TWO

DONKEYS. AND THIS IS REALLY AMAZING TO ME BECAUSE THE TWO

DONKEYS REPRESENT SOMETHING. I WANT YOU TO GO TO MATTHEW 21,

WHERE YOU ALREADY HAVE BEEN THERE. BUT LOOK AT VERSES 6

THROUGH 7 AS WE GET READY TO CLOSE HERE. HAVE YOU GOT ANY,

HAVE YOU LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THIS TODAY? IS IT HELPING YOU?

OKAY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO TRY TO BE THEOLOGICAL, BUT I JUST WANT US

TO APPRECIATE MORE WHAT WE READ OR WHAT HAPPENED TO JESUS, I

THINK IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. BUT JESUS SAYS, "GO INTO THE

VILLAGE AGAINST YOU "AND STRAIGHTWAY YOU'LL FIND A DONKEY

TIED AND A COLT. "LOOSE THEM AND BRING THEM. "AND THE DISCIPLES

WENT AND BROUGHT THE DONKEY AND THE COLT." NOW YOU HAVE TO KNOW

THE MEANING. SO THE FEMALE DONKEY, WHAT THE LITERAL

DEFINITION OF THAT IS THE WORD ATHON, AND IT LITERALLY MEANS

A CHIEF. IT MEANS STRENGTH. SO EVEN THOUGH PILATE WAS COMING IN

AND HE WAS ACTING AS THE BIG, YOU KNOW, RIGHT? CHIEF, THE BIG

RULER, REPRESENTING THE BIG KING, RIGHT? THE ONE WHO WAS

CALLING HIMSELF THE SON OF GOD. JESUS BRINGS THE MOTHER DONKEY

TO REPRESENT WHAT HE ULTIMATELY IS GONNA BE RIDING IN ON,

BEAUTIFUL HORSE, THAT CHIEFTAIN DONKEY THAT REPRESENTS THE

KINGLY ANOINTING AND RITE OF COVENANT THAT NOW, WHEN JESUS

WENT IN WITH HIS BLOOD TO THE HOLY PLACE, THE FIRST THING THAT

THE FATHER SAYS TO HIM, IT CHOKES ME UP EVERY TIME. HE

LOOKS AT HIM AND HE SAYS, "THOU ART GOD." SO HE CALLS JESUS

CARRYING HIS BLOOD. THE FATHER CALLS JESUS GOD. AND THEN HE

HANDS HIM AFTER, THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT JESUS HAD TO TAKE WHEN THEY

HIT HIM OVER THE HEAD AND THEY MOCKED HIM LIKE HE'S NOT SOME

KING. AND THE FIRST THING THAT THE FATHER DOES WHEN OTHERS MOCK

YOU, HE WILL BRING OUT THE VALIDITY OF WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT

HE BLESSED YOU WITH BECAUSE HE HANDS JESUS THAT SCEPTER. FOR

ANY ONE OF YOU THAT EVER BEEN MOCKED, RIDICULED, TRUST GOD, HE

WILL VINDICATE YOU. YOU TALK ABOUT VINDICATION, MAN, WHEN

JESUS CAME IN AND THE LORD GAVE HIM THE SCEPTER OF A KING AND

HE SAID, "COME SIT DOWN AT MY RIGHT HAND AND ALL THE ENEMIES

SHALL ALWAYS BE IN AWE OF THY FOOTSTEPS. AND SO I ALWAYS

THINK ABOUT THAT. HE HANDED HIM THAT AND HE SAID YOU ARE KING

OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. NOW WHAT'S JESUS

GONNA RIDE BACK ON? A HORSE, AS KING OF KINGS

AND LORD OF LORDS, AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? RIDE ON HORSES,

WHAT? WITH HIM, BECAUSE REVELATION CHAPTER ONE SAYS THAT

WE ARE NOW WHAT? KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO OUR GOD. SO HE'S

THE KING OF EVERY KING. WE ONLY THINK OF PRESIDENTS AND KINGS,

BUT HE'S THE KING OVER US, WHO ARE ALSO KINGS. AND WE GET TO

RIDE BACK WITH HIM JUST LIKE THAT MAMA. AND THEN WHAT DID

THAT LITTLE DONKEY, IT HAD NEVER BEEN RIDDEN BEFORE, REPRESENTS

US. REPRESENTS I BELIEVE, EVEN THE GENTILE NATION, SOME OF THE

JEWS THAT HAD NOT YET COME TO REALIZE THAT HE WAS THEIR

MESSIAH, THAT ARE GONNA BE PART OF HIS RETURN. AND THROUGH HIS

REDEMPTION, RIGHT, HE'S GONNA SHOW US THAT HE'S COUNTERED ALL

OF THIS AS HE SETS UP HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM. NOW, WHAT'S

AMAZING TO ME IN THIS AND I WANNA SHARE WITH YOU THIS, IS

WHY DID HE HAVE TO RIDE IN ON A DONKEY? BECAUSE NOW YOU LOOK AT

THE YOUNG LITTLE DONKEY AND HIS NAME, THE DEFINITION OF IT IS

CHAMOR, C-H-A-M-O-R, AND IT MEANS TO CAUSE TROUBLE, TO BE

REBELLIOUS, TO BE RED HOT, RIGHT? IT REPRESENTS RED. WHAT

WAS ON THE BACK OF THAT DONKEY? ACROSS. WHAT DOES THIS

REPRESENT? AGAIN, THE LORD WAS SHOWING US THAT HE'S THE LORD OF

COUNTER. JOB 11, VERSE 12. HE WAS SHOWING US

Job 11:12

WITH THE TWO DONKEY, HIS MAMA, JESUS IS KING

AND WILL BE KING. WE THE YOUNG, WE'RE THE

YOUNG DONKEY. WE NEED TO BE RIDDEN UPON. WE NEED TO SUBMIT

OUR LIVES AND OUR FLESH TO HIS LORDSHIP. YOU GOTTA COUNTER YOUR

FLESH. IF YOU WANT, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WHY DON'T YOU

STAND TO YOUR FEET. IF YOU REALLY WANT, AND I WANT TO BE

MORE OF A PERSON OF GOD, YOU GOT TO SIT ON YOUR FLESHLY DESIRES.

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GIVE IN TO WHAT YOUR FLESH WANTS. RIGHT? YOU

GOTTA LET JESUS HAVE A SAY IN IT. THAT'S WHY HE'S LORD. HE'S

LORD OF ALL, RIGHT? NOT JUST LORD OF WHATEVER I'M GONNA GIVE

HIM. I KNOW HE WANTS TO BE LORD OF EVERYTHING. AND SO IT

REPRESENTS YOUR FLESHLY NATURE. JOB 11, VERSE 12, LOOK AT WHAT

Job 11:12

IT SAYS. FOR AN EMPTY-HEADED MAN WILL BE WISE, BUT A WILD DONKEY

COLT IS BORN A MAN. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT THE KING JAMES, PUT IT

IN THE KING JAMES. IT'S EVEN BETTER. I THINK THEY, FOR VAIN

MAN WOULD BE WISE, THOUGH A MAN BE BORN LIKE A WILD DONKEY CULT.

SO MAN'S SINFUL NATURE IS THAT OF A DONKEY, KICKING, SCREAMING,

RED HOT, JUST LIKE THAT LITTLE DONKEY'S DEFINITION. AND WE NEED

JESUS TO COME. BUT THE MORE YOU SUBMIT TO THE LORD AND WHAT HE

WANTS FOR YOUR LIFE AND HIS WORD, AND YOU'RE A PERSON OF

PRAYER AND WORSHIP AND HONOR, AND YOU SEEK TO WALK IN

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HUMILITY, THE LORD OF THE COUNTER THEN CAN

HELP COUNTER YOUR FLESHLY NATURE AND YOUR DESIRES. AMEN? ALL

RIGHT, THE LAST EXAMPLE I WANNA GIVE YOU, THERE WERE TWO. I WANT

YOU TO LOOK HERE REAL QUICK AT MATTHEW 27, AND I'M GONNA CLOSE

WITH THIS IN VERSE 17. LOOK AT THIS ONE, THERE WERE TWO AGAIN.

THE LORD WAS COUNTERING SOMETHING THAT I THINK AS YOU GO

INTO GOOD FRIDAY, IN FACT, I INVITE YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TO

WATCH YOUR GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE. IT'S GONNA BE POWERFUL. WHAT'S

THAT? SEND IN YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS. WE DO PRAY, WE WILL

PRAY, AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU THAT ARE HERE. AND WE'RE

GONNA MINISTER BEFORE GOD. I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT MORE ABOUT THE

LORD OF THE COUNTER AND THE SENSE OF THE SEASON THAT WE'RE

IN. BUT LOOK HERE, AS WE CLOSE, YOU SEE TWO AGAIN. "THEREFORE,

WHEN THEY WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, "PILOTS IN THE MIDDLE,

AND SAID UNTO THEM, "'WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO RELEASE? "'BAR,'" AND

REALLY IT SHOULD BE BAR-ABBAS, "OR JESUS, WHICH IS CALLED

CHRIST." SO YOU HAVE NOW TWO. YOU HAVE BARABBAS WHO IS GUILTY

AS GUILTY IS GUILTY. JUST LIKE EVERY ONE OF US IN THIS ROOM, WE

ARE ALL GUILTY OF OUR SIN. THERE'S NO ONE RIGHTEOUS. THIS

IS WHY WE NEED JESUS, NOT RELIGION. AND ON THE OTHER SIDE

IS JESUS. JESUS THE CHRIST WHOM THEY CALL. AND AGAIN, IT WAS THE

LORD OF THE COUNTER BECAUSE THE WORD BAR IN THAT NAME, AND THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MAKE SURE THEY CAN SEE IT. IT MEANS

SON OF, THAT'S WHY SIMON BARJONAH, OKAY? SON OF BARJONAH.

HOW MANY KNOW THAT'S WHAT BAR MEANT, SON? SO HE WAS SON OF

ABBA, NOTICE IT HAS AN S, PLURAL. SO BARABBAS REPRESENTED

A SON OF EVERY NATURAL DAD, FATHER, RIGHT, DONOR OF HUMAN

SEED. HE REPRESENTED ALL OF THAT. AND EVERY MAN IS GUILTY.

THAT'S WHY IT WAS BAR, ABBA IS FOUND IN THAT NAME. BUT HERE'S

WHAT'S EVEN, YOU CAN GOOGLE IT IF YOU WANT, AND YOU'LL FIND OUT

THAT HISTORY SAYS, EVEN IT'S DOCUMENTED IN THE ROMAN

INSCRIPTIONS, THAT HIS NAME WAS JESUS BARABBAS. HIS NAME WAS

JESUS. AND HE'S STANDING OVER HERE, NOT THE REAL JESUS, JUST

LIKE PILATE, NOT THE REAL KING, NOT THE REAL SON OF GOD, NOT THE

REAL PRINCE OF PEACE, TIBERIUS CAESAR, AND BARABBAS IS STANDING

THERE, HIS NAME IS JESUS. YOU HAVE JESUS BARABBAS, WHO

REPRESENTS THE SON OF EVERY HUMAN FATHER THAT HAS MADE EVERY

HUMAN BEING GUILTY AS A RESULT THAT ARE BORN IN THE EARTH. AND

YOU HAVE JESUS, THE SON OF WHO? ABBA FATHER. AND WHAT DID THEY

DO? THEY CRUCIFIED JESUS, AN INNOCENT MAN, FOR EVERY JESUS OR

JESUS BARABBAS, EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE,

BECAUSE JESUS COUNTERED SO THAT WE COULD BE FREE, EVEN THOUGH WE

WERE GUILTY OF SIN. AMEN. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU

FOR THIS WORD. I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD SEAL IT IN THE HEARTS OF

THE PEOPLE. AND LORD, BEFORE WE END THIS SERVICE TODAY, VERY

QUICKLY WE WANNA SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR

HEART. THAT WHEN THE ENEMY TRIES TO COME IN, NOT ONLY HAVE YOU

ALREADY LIKE A FLOOD, RAISED UP A STANDARD, BUT YOU'LL DO IT

AGAIN BECAUSE YOU'RE THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. BLESS THE PEOPLE, I

PRAY, AMEN. PASTOR DOUG, WOULD YOU COME? THANK YOU. LET'S GIVE

IT UP FOR PASTOR DOUG, THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU. WHAT A

REMARKABLE MESSAGE TODAY. IT'S A GREAT ONE TO GO BACK AND REVIEW.

IF YOU'RE A WORKER TODAY AND YOU'VE GOT AN ASSIGNMENT IN THE

CONNECT CAFE OR THE INFORMATION CENTER, YOU CAN BE DISMISSED AT

THIS TIME. THE REST OF YOU, IF YOU COULD JUST STICK WITH ME FOR

A COUPLE MINUTES, I'D APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. ALTAR TEAM, IF YOU

WOULD COME UP AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THE ALTAR TEAM, AS PASTOR

HANK MENTIONED ALREADY, IS HERE FOR YOU, AND IF YOU NEED

ADDITIONAL PRAYER TODAY, THEY'RE HERE, WILLING, READY, AND ABLE

TO PRAY WITH YOU EFFECTIVELY. AND BEFORE WE LEAVE, I'LL ALSO

PUT UP A PRAYER LINE NUMBER. THOSE OF YOU ONLINE CAN USE THAT

FOR ADDITIONAL PRAYER IF YOU NEED IT. WELL, PASTOR HANK DID A

GREAT JOB TALKING ABOUT JESUS TODAY. I DON'T THINK I NEED TO

SAY A WHOLE LOT MORE OTHER THAN IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE JESUS

CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE, TODAY IS THE DAY TO DO IT. THE

BIBLE SAYS TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. DON'T WAIT ON THAT.

HIS WORD IS TRUE. ALL 66 BOOKS IN THIS BIBLE ARE TRUE. AND HE

DID, PASTOR DID A GREAT JOB TALKING ABOUT AND DECLARING WHO

JESUS SAID THAT HE WAS AND WHO HE DECLARED AND WHAT THE PLAN IS

FOR MANKIND AND HOW JESUS CONQUERS ALL. BUT WE HAVE TO

MAKE THE DECISION TO ACCEPT THAT. HE DOESN'T FORCE US ON IT,

FORCE THAT ON US. HE DOES NOT FORCE US TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN

ACCEPT WHAT HE'S DONE FOR US. BUT JUST AS TRUE AS JESUS AND

WHAT HE DID FOR US BY GOING TO THE CROSS AND HOW HE GAVE HIS

LIFE AND HOW HE SITS ON THE THRONE AND RULES, AND SOMEDAY

HE'S COMING BACK FOR US, JUST AS TRUE AS ALL THAT IS, THERE'S

ANOTHER TRUTH. SOME CHURCHES DON'T TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE

BECAUSE THEY'VE JUST GONE MODERNISTIC. AND THAT'S THE

TRUTH THAT THERE IS A HELL. THAT'S AWAITING THOSE THAT

REFUSE TO BOW. WE SANG THAT SONG THIS MORNING, "MAJESTY." EVERY

KNEE WILL BOW, AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS. IT DOESN'T MATTER

WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT TODAY. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU

WILL SOMEDAY BOW TO JESUS. THAT'S A TRUTH, JUST AS TRUE AS

EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN THE BIBLE. BUT THERE'S ALSO A TRUTH THAT

THERE IS A HELL FOR THOSE THAT REFUSE. THERE'S A HELL WAITING.

AND ONCE YOU GO THERE, IT'S ETERNAL. ETERNITY IS A LONG,

LONG TIME. IT MEANS YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE. THERE'S NO PAROLE

BOARD, NO WISHING I WOULD HAVE MADE ANOTHER DECISION AT THAT

POINT. SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU QUICKLY JUST TO BOW YOUR HEADS

WITH ME TODAY. AND THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE HERE. AND IT DOESN'T

MATTER IF YOU'RE EIGHT YEARS OLD, YOU'RE 80 YEARS OLD.

DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'VE BEEN HERE ONE TIME. SOMETIMES, IF

YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE THAT WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, HEAVEN

WOULD BE YOUR HOME, AND YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN

YOUR HEART TO JESUS CHRIST, THAT'S WHERE IT STARTS. THAT'S

THE BEGINNING POINT. IT'S WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS THE NEW BIRTH.

AND IT STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER. AND I WANNA PRAY WITH

YOU TODAY AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THAT CONFIRMATION SO WHEN

YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE OR WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION OR YOUR

DEVICE THAT YOU’RE WATCHING FROM, YOU’LL KNOW 100% THAT YOU

ARE THE LORD’S AND HE’LL BE YOUR MASTER AND YOU CAN SERVE HIM.

AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU WALK INTO AN ABUNDANT LIFE ON THIS

EARTH, AND YOU ALSO RECEIVE HIS PLAN OF REDEMPTION, YOU RECEIVE

HEALING, YOU RECEIVE FINANCES. THERE'S JUST A TERRIFIC LIST OF

BENEFITS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN AND SERVING GOD WHILE YOU'RE ON

THIS EARTH. BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE ETERNITY TO LOOK FORWARD

TO. AMEN, AMEN. SO WHILE YOUR HEADS ARE BOWED AND YOUR EYES

ARE CLOSED, IS THERE SOMEONE HERE TODAY AND YOU SAY, "PASTOR

DOUG, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME. I NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION

TODAY. I DON'T WANT TO PUT IT OFF ANYMORE. OR MAYBE YOU HAVE

STRAYED AND YOU'VE GOTTEN OFF PATH. YOU USED TO SERVE GOD, YOU

NO LONGER DO. EITHER WAY, YOU CAN COME BACK TO HIM. YOU CAN

MAKE AN INITIAL DECISION FOR HIM OR YOU CAN COME BACK TO HIM AND

MAKE IT RIGHT TODAY. AND I'M GONNA ASK YOU WHEN I COUNT TO

THREE, IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE TODAY AND YOU SAY, "THAT'S ME, I

NEED PRAYER, I WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT. I WANNA MAKE 100% SURE

THAT I WILL BE WITH THOSE THAT LEAVE THIS EARTH AND GO TO

HEAVEN SOMEDAY IN THE FUTURE. IF THAT'S YOU, WHEN I COUNT TO

THREE, RAISE YOUR HAND. ONE, TWO, THREE. RAISE YOUR HAND IF

THERE'S SOMEONE HERE. I SEE A HAND IN THE BACK. ANYONE ELSE?

IS THERE ANOTHER HAND OVER HERE? OKAY, I SEE ONE HERE. ANYONE

ELSE IN THIS BUILDING? THANK YOU FOR BEING BOLD ENOUGH TO RAISE

YOUR HAND. BECAUSE YOU RAISED YOUR HAND, I BELIEVE THAT'S AN

INITIAL STEP, YOU SAYING THAT WITH YOUR HEART. BUT I'D LIKE TO

DO ONE MORE THING ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT. EVERYONE THAT JESUS

CALLED, HE CALLED PUBLICLY IN HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY. AND I

BELIEVE WHEN YOU MAKE A PUBLIC DECISION, YOU'RE SAYING, "I

DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK. "I DON'T CARE WHAT CHURCHES THINK,

MAN THINKS. "I'M ONLY ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD, AND I WANNA

HONOR HIM." SO I'M GONNA ASK YOU, SIR, JUST TO STEP OUT OF

YOUR SEAT AND COME UP HERE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GONNA PRAY AND AGREE.

IF THERE WAS SOMEONE IN THE BACK, I COULDN'T SEE WHO HAD

THEIR HAND UP IN THE BACK. COME ON UP HERE RIGHT NOW, BE BOLD.

LET'S GIVE HIM A HAND AS HE COMES TODAY. GOD BLESS YOU. I

MET YOU EARLIER, IS IT ALAN? ALAN, OKAY, GOD BLESS YOU, ALAN.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY. I WANNA SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ALAN.

I MET HIM BEFORE THE SERVICE TODAY AND HE WAS INVITED HERE

TO COME TO THE MEN'S MINISTRY YESTERDAY.

AND HE ALMOST WAS GOING TO LEAVE EARLY, BUT HE

LOVED IT AND HE STAYED. OH, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU. WHAT'S

YOUR NAME, SIR? THANK YOU, NOAH, FOR COMING. THAT'S A GOOD NAME.

ARE YOU JUST WITH NOAH? YOU'RE HERE WITH NOAH. THAT'S FINE.

GUYS, LOOK AT ME FOR A MINUTE. I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU FOR

JUST A MINUTE. JUST TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT ME. NOAH AND ALAN,

LET ME ADDRESS SOMETHING WITH YOU. WHEN YOU MAKE THIS DECISION

TODAY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU, GOD'S

PROUD OF YOU. AND YOU KNOW, YOU'VE PROBABLY GOT RELATIVES

THAT ARE IN HEAVEN NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DO OR NOT, MAYBE A

GRANDPARENT, MAYBE AN AUNT OR AN UNCLE, OR WHO KNOWS, MAYBE YOUR

MOM OR DAD. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS

WHERE YOU'RE AT ON, ARE THEY STILL ALIVE? THAT'S WHAT I'M

SAYING. BUT I DO KNOW THIS, THE BIBLE SAYS, WHEN SOMEONE COMES

TO GOD, REPENTS OF THEIR SIN, AND MAKES A DECISION FOR JESUS

CHRIST. THOSE THAT ARE IN HEAVEN THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE US,

REJOICE AND HAVE A PARTY. SO THEY'RE PARTYING IN HEAVEN JUST

BECAUSE NOAH AND ALAN, YOU'RE MAKING THIS DECISION. IT'S GONNA

CHANGE YOUR LIFE. AS YOU FOLLOW GOD, HE'LL HAS AN ABUNDANT PLAN

FOR YOU. AND I CAN SEE IT ON YOU RIGHT NOW. GOD'S GOT A DIRECTION

FOR YOU. HE'S GOT WISDOM FOR YOU. HE'S GOT A PLAN FOR YOU.

AND IF YOU WALK IT OUT STARTING NOW AND YOU DON'T TURN YOUR BACK

ON HIM, HE'LL GIVE YOU A VICTORY THROUGH THIS LIFE THAT YOU'VE

NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND HE'LL HELP YOU TO SEE YOUR PLAN. AND

YOUR PLAN IS TO REACH PEOPLE FOR OTHERS AND TO BE AN

EFFECTIVE WITNESS FOR OTHERS SO THAT OTHERS COME INTO THE

KINGDOM TOO. BUT WE'RE JUST GONNA START WITH A

SIMPLE PRAYER TODAY. YOU REPEAT AFTER ME. IF

YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU'RE AT

IN YOUR HOTEL ROOM, AT YOUR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, OR

WHEREVER, YOU CAN PRAY TOO AND RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND

SAVIOR, JUST LIKE ALAN AND NOAH ARE DOING HERE TODAY PHYSICALLY.

SO YOU REPEAT WITH ME, GENTLEMEN.

FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I COME TO YOU

TODAY. I ASK YOU, FORGIVE ME OF SIN IN MY LIFE. I REPENT. I ASK

YOU TO COME INTO MY HEART. MAKE ME A NEW CREATURE AND I WILL

SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. I BELIEVE, JESUS, THAT YOU

WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY, THAT YOU DIED, YOU WERE BURIED,

AND YOU ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU

ARE NOW MY SAVIOR. IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY. AMEN, AMEN. LET'S

GIVE THESE GUYS A HAND. AND BEFORE YOU LEAVE, GUYS, I'M

GONNA HAVE YOU GO TO HOWEVER KATHLEEN DIRECTS YOU THERE, JUST

TO GET SOME LITERATURE AND A LITTLE BIT OF HELP WITH

REGISTERING THAT SO THAT WE CAN SEND YOU A LETTER OF

CONGRATULATIONS. SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING. GOD BLESS YOU.
