COME ON CHURCH, GET UP ON YOUR FEET

THIS MORNING. LET'S WORSHIP OUR KING.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU. HALLELUJAH! WE BLESS YOU AND WE

HONOR YOU TODAY, GOD. YES, LORD JESUS. WE GIVE YOU OUR HEARTS OF

GRATITUDE, THANKSGIVING, ADORATION. YES. AND, LORD, WE

THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AWAKE SAID, AMEN. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST

I'VE TRIED. YES, IT IS. OKAY. SO IT'S ON THERE END. SO THERE YOU

IT'S WORKING, BUT I JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE OF MY MONITOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. LET'S GIVE A HAND CLAP FOR ALL THE PEOPLE

THAT MAKE THE MEDIA POSSIBLE. THE SOUND. WE'RE SO GRATEFUL.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE. WELL, I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU HERE TODAY.

IT'S ACTUALLY SATURDAY. NO, NO. OKAY, ARE YOU GLAD YOU ARE

AWAKE? ALRIGHT SO WANT TO DO THIS BRENDA BEFORE WE GET TOO

FAR INTO THIS I WANNA GREET ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING

AROUND THE WORLD, OUR FAMILY, E-MEMBERS AND SUCH. SO I'M GOING

TO ASK YOU A QUESTION ALONG WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE HERE. NOW

SOME OF YOU LIKE IN ARIZONA AND I THINK OTHER PLACES, YOU DON’T

HAVE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH

YOUR CLOCK. RIGHT? SO, THOSE OF YOU THIS APPLIES TO YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING I AM GOING TO ASK A QUESTION. HOW MANY OF YOU,

REMEMBERED IT WAS DAYLIGHT SAVINGS? HOW MANY OF YOU DIDN’T

REMEMBER? YOU’RE HERE THOUGH! OKAY SO, THERE’S SOME HANDS

THERE. SO YOU DIDN’T REMEMBER. DID YOU FIND OUT THIS MORNING?

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT? OKAY. HOW MANY OF YOU, SO, BRENDA TELL

THEM OUR STORY. WELL, OKAY, SO WE SPENT, YEAH, WELL, YESTERDAY

MORNING WE GOT UP AND SPENT THE DAY REPROGRAMMING THE HOUSE. AND

WE ALWAYS DO IT IN THE MORNING, SO I JUST TELL MYSELF ON

SATURDAY, LIKE ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M LOOKING AT THE CLOCK AND I'M

LIKE, IT'S 5 . I MEAN, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WHEN YOU GET BUSY WITH

THE DAY, YOU ALREADY KNOW. SO THAT'S KIND OF BEEN OUR HABIT

ALL THESE YEARS. SO THEN WE RAN UP, WE WERE LIKE, "LET'S GET TO

BED EARLY, LIKE LIGHTS OUT, 9 O'CLOCK, SUNDAY'S COMING." AND

THE DOGS WERE LIKE, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" AND I COULD NOT

SLEEP. I WAS AWAKE, LIKE AT MIDNIGHT I WENT BACK DOWNSTAIRS.

I'M LIKE, "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?" AND GUESS

WHAT I DID? I WENT IN AND FOR MY 50TH BIRTHDAY, YOU ALL BOUGHT ME

ONE OF THOSE LIKE MASSAGE CHAIRS THAT DOES A ZERO GRAVITY. AND I

WENT AND I GOT A MASSAGE. I DID. IT WAS GREAT. BECAUSE I COULDN'T

SLEEP. AND SO THAT WAS THE MORAL OF THE STORY. BUT BUT WE FEEL

REFRESHED TODAY. BUT HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW. THOSE OF YOU

THAT ARE WATCHING, AND THOSE OF YOU IN HERE, I REBELLED. I WAS

LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE YOU SPRING

FORWARD. UH-UH. NOPE. I AM TURNING MY CLOCK BACK AND

REBELLING. IN FACT, HERE'S A PICTURE. OH, NO. THERE YOU GO. I

TURNED IT. I TURNED MY CLOCK BACK. OH, NO. TURNED MY CLOCK

BACK. SO, I DIDN'T SUPPORT. GUYS, I CAME UP WITH THAT

YESTERDAY AS I WAS JUST KIND OF IN MY MASSAGE CHAIR. NOBODY

LAUGHED. YOU ALL LIED. NOBODY. THAT IS A GREAT JOKE. I'M SORRY.

IT'S A GREAT JOKE. NEVER MIND. ALL RIGHT. ON A SPIRITUAL SENSE,

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT JUST WE'RE IN A NEW

SEASON. HOW MANY BELIEVE IT? YES. AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE

VERY, VERY EXCITING. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT WORD. AND

THEN ALSO WE HAVE NEW MEMBERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE INTO

THE HOUSE. WE'VE GOT LIKE 21, PASTOR DOUG, I WANT TO JUST SAY

THIS. THANK YOU BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO LITERALLY HEAR PEOPLE'S

STORIES ON HOW YOU CAME. WE HAVE LIKE 2 PEOPLE FROM LIKE SOUTH

AFRICA. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? AND THEN DAVE, WHERE ARE YOU AT?

HOPEFULLY YOU'RE HERE, RIGHT? IS DAVE HERE? HE'S GETTING READY.

HIS DAUGHTER HELPED OUR DOG AT THE, DAVE, FINALLY YOU'RE HERE.

I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU OUT ALL THESE WEEKS. NO, BUT ANYWAY, I

KNOW, I KNOW YOU DID, BUT ANYWAY, IT'S GREAT. BUT HIS

DAUGHTER IS ONE OF THE EMERGENCY VET AND SHE TOOK GOOD CARE OF

OUR LITTLE DOG. SHE SEWED OUR LITTLE PUPPY BACK UP. SHE DID

SUCH A GOOD JOB. SHE'S ALL BETTER NOW. YEP, SHE IS BETTER.

AND HOW MANY OF YOU ARE BETTER? WE'RE BETTER. I'M BETTER 'CAUSE

IT'S GONNA BE 70 DEGREES TODAY. AMEN, ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S GET

READY TO WORSHIP THE LORD. ALL RIGHT, WELL, ARE YOU GONNA TELL

EVERYBODY A LITTLE BIT? I MEAN, JUST SHARE WITH THEM THAT, YOU

KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN WHAT, I'M GONNA TAKE A NAP? I'M GONNA DO A

JESUS, DID. I'M GONNA TAKE A NAP. I KNOW WE'RE IN A NEW

SEASON, BUT JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE LORD HAS BEEN

SPEAKING TO YOU, 'CAUSE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CONFLICT

OVERSEAS, AND ARE YOU GONNA SHARE ANY PROPHETIC WORDS TODAY?

NO, I THINK WE'VE SHARED A LOT. YES, BUT THEY'VE BEEN GOOD.

YEAH, THANK YOU, YEAH, IN FACT, I COULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE

WEEKEND CAME 'CAUSE I DID SO MUCH TV, I DIDN'T EVEN WANNA SEE

A CAMERA. I DIDN'T EVEN WANNA LOOK AT THE ONE ON MY PHONE.

YEAH, IT WAS AWESOME THOUGH. BUT, AND I DON'T MIND THAT, BUT

IT WAS JUST A BUSY WEEK. BUT NO, I FELT LIKE TODAY, I'M JUST

GONNA PULL BACK AND JUST, LET'S JUST GET IN THE WORD, LET'S SEE

WHERE GOD LEADS US. HE'S BEEN CHANGING OUR MESSAGE EVERY WEEK,

SO WE'LL SEE. BUT I JUST PLAN ON REALLY HITTING SOME THINGS SO

THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE SEASON WE'RE IN. I THINK THAT IS

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, IS TO SEE THINGS FROM GOD'S

PERSPECTIVE. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. ALL RIGHT, WELL,

THROW THOSE HANDS UP. IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY IN THE HOUSE OF

GOD. SAY THESE WORDS, SAY LORD. RIGHT NOW. THIS

IS THE BEST PLACE TO BE. I WOULD RATHER BE HERE. THAN ANYWHERE

ELSE. LORD JESUS, IT'S ALSO A GOOD DAY 'CAUSE YOU'RE

ON THE THRONE. AND SO I'M GONNA WORSHIP YOU TODAY AND

I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE. SHOUT

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

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

IT IS DONE. IT IS FINISHED. HE HAS WON. IT

IS FINISHED. OUR SAVIOR HAS WON. THE KING HAS

WON. THE KING HAS WON. IT IS FINISHED. HE HAS WON.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

IT'S PAID FOR AND DONE. IT'S PAID FOR AND DONE.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

COME ON, GIVE JESUS PRAISE THIS

MORNING. THERE'S NOBODY LIKE OUR KING.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY. THE LAMB IS HOLY. THE LAMB IS HOLY.

THERE’S NOBODY ELSE LIKE YOU JESUS. THERE’S NOBODY ELSE LIKE

MY SAVIOR. THERE’S NOBODY ELSE LIKE YOU. THERE’S NOBODY ELSE

LIKE YOU. YOU STAND ABOVE THEM ALL BECAUSE YOU ARE SEATED AT

THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, YOU ARE SEATED IN VICTORY. YOU

ARE SEATED. STANDING ON WHO YOU ARE

MY KING. STANDING ON WHO YOU ARE.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

NO ONE ELSE. NO ONE ELSE, WHO ELSE IS WORTHY TO

ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHO ELSE IS WORTHY?

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

COME ON, I BELIEVE THERE IS A SOUND OF VICTORY IN THIS HOUSE

THIS MORNING. COME ON ANYTHING THAT THE ENEMY HAS BEEN TRYING

TO COME AGAINST YOUR LIFE, COME ON, THERE IS VICTORY IN THE

SOUND OF PRAISE. THERE IS VICTORY IN THE SOUND OF

CELEBRATION. COME ON THERE IS VICTORY. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE

CAN PRAISE GOD AND STEAL THE AVENGER. I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW THE

ENEMY IS BACKING AWAY. THE ENEMIES AND THE POWERS OF

DARKNESS ARE HAVING TO BOW AT YOUR PRAISE. COME ON, GIVE GOD

SOME PRAISE THIS MORNING. GIVE HIM A VICTORY CELEBRATION

THIS MORNING. COME ON, IN THE SOUND OF THE NAME OF JESUS,

EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW. EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS

CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. COME ON!

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

CHAIR RIGHT NOW. MAYBE COME DOWN ONTO THE ALTAR AND FIND A

PLACE OF CELEBRATION, FIND A PLACE OF PRAISE. COME ON,

DON'T JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS STILL. THROW THOSE

HANDS UP TO GOD. CLAP YOUR HANDS. COME ON.

(CHEERING)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

COME ON, I BELIEVE PAIN IS BEING HEALED. COME ON.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

BROKEN IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF PRAISE.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

COME ON, SOME OF YOU ARE GETTING DELIVERED RIGHT

NOW. GOD IS SETTING YOU FREE FROM PAIN.

MAY THE TRAIN OF YOUR ROBE FILL THE TEMPLE. MAY THE

GLORY OF THE LORD FILL THIS PLACE. MAY

THE TRAIN OF YOUR ROBE FILL THE TEMPLE. MAY

THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILL THIS PLACE

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

COME ON JUST GIVE GOD A WAVE OFFERING RIGHT NOW. COME ON.

GIVE HIM A WAVE OFFERING OF PRAISE! PRAISE! PRAISE!

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

MINISTER TO YOU RIGHT NOW

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

PASTOR CHRISSY, YOU SHARED WHEN WE WERE IN THE BACK, WE'VE ALL

BEEN DOING, OUR FAMILY, WE'VE BEEN DOING A READ THROUGH THE

GOSPELS CHALLENGE. AND SO TODAY WAS MATTHEW 7, OR YESTERDAY WAS

MATTHEW 7. AND YOU READ ONE VERSE. MATTHEW 4:24. OH, IT WAS

Matthew 4:24

FROM MATTHEW 4. YOU WENT BACK AND YOU READ THE ONE VERSE FROM

THE MEV VERSION. CAN YOU QUOTE THAT? SO WHAT IT SAID WAS THAT

HE WENT AROUND WHERE THE KING JAMES SAYS, "HEALING ALL THAT

WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL." IT SAYS THAT HE HEALED ALL THOSE

THAT WERE TORMENTED WITH PAIN AND OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL. AND

SO THAT THE THE PHRASE WAS THAT THEY WERE TORMENTED IN PAIN. YOU

KNOW WHAT I FELT LIKE THE HOLY SPIRIT JUST REMINDED ME. THERE'S

SOME PEOPLE IN HERE TODAY, SOME WATCHING ONLINE. YOU'VE BEEN

TORMENTED WITH SOME KIND OF PAIN. IT MIGHT BE PHYSICAL. IT

MIGHT BE FINANCIAL. IT MIGHT BE EMOTIONAL. MAYBE YOU FEEL

BETRAYED. MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN HURT. YOU'VE GONE THROUGH

SOMETHING, BUT THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU, YOU HAVE TO

BEAR THIS PAIN FOREVER. AND I'M HERE TO PROPHESY TO YOU TODAY,

THAT IS A LIE IN THE NAME OF JESUS OF NAZARETH. COME ON,

JESUS CAME ON THIS EARTH TO HEAL THOSE THAT WERE TORMENTED IN

PAIN. COME ON, LET'S PRAISE HIM ONE MORE TIME. I WANT YOU TO

WORSHIP HIM LIKE A PEOPLE DELIVERED, A PEOPLE SET FREE.

COME ON, GIVE THE DEVIL SOME HELL TODAY BY PRAISING YOUR GOD

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

COME ON, YOU’RE THE HOUSE THAT GLORIFIES

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

NOW HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IN THIS MOMENT. LET'S PUT THOSE

HANDS UP. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU PUT HANDS UP, IT MEANS SEVERAL

THINGS. HERE'S WHAT PUTTING HANDS UP MEANS. FIRST OF ALL,

IT'S A SIGN OF SURRENDER TO GOD. SO WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING

THROUGH, SAY, "LORD, I PUT IT IN YOUR HANDS." I MAY NOT KNOW ALL

THE ANSWERS, BUT YOU DO. I SURRENDER TO YOU SO THAT I CAN

BE FREE. NOW, THE SECOND PART OF PUTTING UP HANDS IS ALSO A SIGN

OF VICTORY. SO PUT YOUR HANDS UP. COME ON, STRETCH. SAY,

"LORD, NOW I RECEIVE VICTORY. MY LIFTED HANDS TODAY SIGNIFY THAT

I HAVE THE VICTORY OVER ALL PAIN, OVER ALL SUFFERING. I

STAND IN ALL THAT JESUS PAID FOR." NOW PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR

HEAD AND SAY THIS, SAY, "LORD, I TAKE AUTHORITY OVER MY MIND. I

DECLARE MY MIND AS BLESSED. I DON'T HAVE ANY FEARFUL THOUGHTS.

I DON'T THINK THOUGHTS OF FRUSTRATION, ANGER,

UNFORGIVENESS. MY MIND'S NOT STRESSED. I DECLARE IN JESUS'

NAME THAT I HAVE THE VICTORY. NOW, WE'RE GOING TO GO AFTER THE

DEVIL. SAY, "SATAN, I TAKE AUTHORITY OVER YOU. YOU GET OFF

OF MY MIND. YOU GET AWAY FROM MY BODY. YOU GET AWAY FROM MY

FINANCES. GET AWAY FROM MY FAMILY. I TAKE AUTHORITY OVER

YOU. I CAST YOU OUT. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED NEAR ME. I BREAK YOUR

POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS. NOW YOU GO ON AND GET OUT OF HERE.

COME ON NOW, GIVE GOD A SHOUT OF PRAISE. HALLELUJAH.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

GLORY, GLORY, GLORY. YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY IT LIKE THIS,

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, YOU CAN PRAISE YOUR WAY TO

VICTORY. DOESN'T THAT FEEL GOOD? SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA GET IN

THE ATMOSPHERE OF PRAISE. I HEARD GLORIA COPELAND SAY ALL

THESE YEARS AGO, SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T SPEND ALL YOUR

TIME LISTENING TO THE WORLD'S REPORTS, WATCHING THEIR MOVIES,

LISTENING TO THEIR SHOWS AND THEIR MUSIC, THEIR PERSPECTIVE,

THEIR NEWS." COME ON, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. YOU CAN'T LISTEN

TO ALL OF THAT AND EXPECT TO RISE UP. SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT

TO DROP ALL THAT AND GET IN A ROOM OF PRAISE AND LET GOD DO

THE WORK FOR YOU. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, TURN AROUND, GREET

A FEW PEOPLE, TELL SOMEBODY, SAY, "MAN, IT IS GOOD TO BE IN

THE HOUSE ON THE FIRST DAY OF DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. WE GOT

THE VICTORY IN JESUS' NAME." AND ALL OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

ONLINE, GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE VICTORY IN THE NAME OF

THE LORD. COME ON, GREET ONE ANOTHER THIS MORNING.

(MUSIC)

YOU ARE HERE WELL, GOOD MORNING. IF THIS

IS YOUR FIRST TIME IN THE BUILDING, WANNA MAKE YOU

FEEL WELCOME AND REMIND YOU THAT WE'VE HAD CHURCH.

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

THERE'S MORE YET TO COME, BUT WORSHIP WAS AMAZING THIS

MORNING. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, MAKE SURE YOU GET A BLUE

GIFT BAG. IF YOU DID NOT ALREADY GET ONE AT THE DOOR, PLEASE WAVE

YOUR HAND AT AN USHER. THEY HAVE THOSE AVAILABLE FOR YOU 'CAUSE

INSIDE THE BLUE GIFT BAG, WE'VE TUCKED SOME GOODIES IN THERE FOR

STAGE ON THE FRONT OF IT. SO IF YOU WOULD TAKE THAT OUT AT THIS

TIME. SO I WANNA POINT OUT A COUPLE THINGS. WE'VE GOT SOME

INFORMATION IN THERE THAT WE WANNA SEND HOME WITH YOU, AS

WELL AS A BRIGHT ORANGE STAY CONNECTED CARD ON THE LEFTHAND

SIDE. GO AHEAD AND TEAR THAT OFF, FILL IT OUT, DROP IT IN THE

AMEN. AM I ON THERE? WHAT A GOOD MORNING SO FAR. PASTOR CHRISTY

SAID TO ME ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE'VE HAD CHURCH. I LOVE THAT.

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

PRAISE THE LORD. AND BY THE WAY, SOMEBODY PUT IN MY NOTES TODAY

THAT TOMORROW IS NATIONAL NAP DAY. BUT AS FAR AS I'M

CONCERNED, RIGHT AFTER CHURCH IS NATIONAL NAP DAY. AS FAR AS I,

HOW MANY OF YOU DO A SUNDAY NAP? AM I THE ONLY ONE? OH MY

GOODNESS. I SLEEP HARD ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT

IS. WE GET UP SUPER DUPER EARLY. AND SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, IT'S

JUST LIKE WE GO AND HAVE THAT SUNDAY NAP. AND I MEAN, I'M

LIKE, I WAKE UP AND I'M LIKE, I VISITED EVERY PLANET IN THE

SOLAR SYSTEM. NOT KNOWING WHERE I AM WHEN I GET UP OUT OF THE

BED. BUT ANYWAY, PRAISE THE LORD. WELL, JUST A COUPLE QUICK

THINGS. I WANT TO REMIND ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE BEING BAPTIZED

TODAY, YOU CAN BE DISMISSED RIGHT AFTER THE OFFERING TIME.

THERE'LL BE SOMEBODY, I THINK CAMELOT WILL BE OUT THERE IN THE

FOYER TO GREET, IS THAT RIGHT, EILEEN? OUT THERE TO MEET YOU IF

YOU'RE BEING WATER BAPTIZED, SO JUST RIGHT AFTER THE OFFERING.

AND THEN JUST A COUPLE QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS. WE HAVE A LOT

GOING ON AT LORD OF HOSTS. I MEAN, THAT'S A THING. I LOOKED

AT THE LIST TODAY, BUT IN 2 WEEKS, WE GOT CHEYENNE GOING TO

BE HERE AT LOH, AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. VERY

PROFOUND MAN. I GOT RUNNING FOR CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR. AND ALL I'M

GOING TO SAY, AND JUST LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE, WE NEED A NEW

GOVERNOR. OH MY GOODNESS. BRENDA, BE NICE, BUT WE NEED A

NEW, WE NEED SOMETHING ELSE. CALIFORNIANS NEED SOMETHING

ELSE, BUT ANYWAY, SO HE'LL BE HERE, AND I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT

THAT. AND THEN ALSO, GUYS, ARE YOU SIGNED UP YET FOR THE MEN'S

EVENT? ALL RIGHT, YOU NEED TO BE HERE. I THINK PASTOR MIGHT SHOW

A VIDEO IN A LITTLE BIT. AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW

THIS. PASTOR HANK, ON ONE MINUTE, CAN BE THIS SERIOUS,

PROPHETIC VOICE, AND THE NEXT MINUTE, HE'S DANCING LIKE JOHN

TRAVOLTA. THIS IS THE DEAL. AND HE'S ALWAYS HAD THAT ZANY SIDE,

AS LONG AS I'VE KNOWN HIM. BUT YOU'LL GET TO BE A PART OF THAT.

IT'LL BE A GOOD TIME OF MINISTRY, A GOOD TIME OF

FELLOWSHIP. GUYS, DON'T STAY HOME. BE PART OF IT. COME AND

INVITE SOMEBODY. IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GET PEOPLE

CONNECTED. AND YOU KNOW, THE ONLY WAY WE GET PEOPLE CONNECTED

IS IF WE INVITE THEM. YOU GOTTA INVITE PEOPLE. DON'T JUST BRING

YOURSELF. INVITE SOMEBODY THAT YOU KNOW, AND YOU JUST MIGHT BE

SURPRISED. IT MIGHT SHOCK YOU. THEY MIGHT JUST SAY, "YEAH, I'D

LOVE TO COME." THINK ABOUT THAT. WE ALWAYS THINK PEOPLE WILL SAY

NO. WE WERE JUST TALKING IN A MEETING THE OTHER DAY WITH

SEVERAL OF US, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EVANGELISM AND HOW

I'VE NEVER IN ALL MY YEARS, IF I ASK SOMEBODY TO PRAY FOR 'EM,

EVER HAD 'EM JUST SAY, "OH NO, I DON'T WANT PRAYER." YOU KNOW,

EVEN THE MOST HEATHEN OF HEATHEN WILL SAY, "OH SURE, PRAY FOR

ME." YOU KNOW, YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT

JUST SAY YES IF YOU INVITE 'EM TO SOMETHING. SO DON'T ASSUME

AHEAD OF TIME. SO MEN INVITE, AND THEN OF COURSE WE GOT WOMAN,

YOU ARE ANOINTED IS ALSO AROUND THE CORNER.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

OKAY, WAIT, STOP. NOW, HERE'S THE DEAL. THE MEN I MENTIONED,

YOU'RE LIKE, "YEP, YEP, YEP." THE WOMEN, I JUST SAY, "WOMEN,

YOU ARE ANOINTED," AND THE PLACE GOES CRAZY. LET'S GIVE, LADIES,

SHOULD WE GIVE THE MEN A COMPETITIVE DO-OVER?

LET'S GIVE 'EM A COMPETITIVE DO-OVER. MEN, WE'VE GOT AN

AMAZING, PUT THE GRAPHIC BACK UP, STAYIN' ALIVE MEN'S

BREAKFAST, LIVING IN YOUR PURPOSE. GOD CAN SHIFT YOU,

CHANGE YOU, REARRANGE YOU. MEN, ARE YOU EXCITED?

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

ALL RIGHT, NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. WE NEED SOME MEN WITH SOME

ATTITUDE. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, NOW WE CAN GIVE THE WOMEN A SECOND

CHANCE. LADIES, ARE YOU EXCITED FOR WOMEN YOU ARE ANNOYED IN

2026? NO WONDER THE DEVIL RUNS FROM WOMEN. HE'LL MAKE HIS EARS

FALL OFF WITH THAT KIND OF THING. WELL THERE'S ALL THE

INFORMATION UP THERE, ALL THE GUESTS. LADIES, IT'S GOING TO BE

FIRE, IT'S GOING TO BE FUN, IT'S GOING TO BE POWERFUL. I'VE GOT A

GREAT MESSAGE PLANNED, AND OUR THEME THIS YEAR IS, "WON'T HE DO

IT?" COME ON, IF YOU EVER THOUGHT THE DEVIL TRIED TO TELL

YOU GOD'S NOT WE DO HAVE A VIDEO FOR WYAA. DO WE HAVE A VIDEO? WE

SHOULD. ARE WE READY? GIVE ME A THUMBS UP. ARE YOU GUYS READY

BACK THERE? ALL RIGHT, DO WE GOT A VIDEO? NOBODY ELSE HAS YOUR

PURPOSE AND THE PLAN OF GOD ON YOUR LIFE. YOU ARE GOD'S GIFT TO

THIS WORLD, AND WHEN YOU'RE WALKING IN THE FULLNESS OF IT,

YOU WILL CHANGE THE WORLD. YOU, MY FRIEND, ARE A TERRORIST TO

THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. YOU ARE THE DEVIL'S WORST NIGHTMARE.

YOUR WANTED POSTER IS HANGING IN THE HALLS OF HELL. THAT'S WHO

YOU ARE. IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE THERE'S A MIRACLE. IT MAY NOT

LOOK LIKE THERE'S A BREAKTHROUGH. IT MAY NOT

LOOK LIKE THAT PERSON'S COMING BACK TO GOD. IT MAY

NOT LOOK LIKE THIS IS EVER GONNA GET SOLVED,

BUT I SERVE THE GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

WOMAN, YOU ARE ANOINTED CONFERENCE TAKING PLACE APRIL

17TH THROUGH THE 19TH. REGISTER TODAY AT

WOMANYOUAREANOINTED.ORG. ALL RIGHT.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

SO LADIES, GET SIGNED UP, GO OUT THERE, QR CODE IS UP AND YOU

NEED TO GO AND BE PART OF EVERYTHING WE'RE GONNA DO THAT

DAY. IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING. WELL, THAT NIGHT AND THE NEXT

DAY, FRIDAY NIGHT, ALL DAY SATURDAY. AND THEN ALSO IN JUNE

THIS YEAR, WE HAVE JESSE DUPLANTIS IS GONNA BE AT LORD OF

HOSTS CHURCH. WE'RE PUMPED ABOUT THAT. JUST, I MEAN, WE'RE A BUSY

CHURCH. AND THAT'S JUST WHAT'S GOING ON ON SOME SUNDAYS AND THE

WEEKENDS, BUT WE GOT STUFF ALL WEEK LONG GOING ON AROUND HERE.

AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, OPENING THE HEAVENS 2026 IS

MOVING RIGHT BACK HERE TO THE TABERNACLE. AND BY THE WAY, I

DID HAVE A FEW PEOPLE SAY, WELL, IF THERE, IF YOU THINK THAT

YOU'LL MAX OUT WITH SEATS, SHOULD I REGISTER? I DON'T WANT

TO COME AND THEN, YOU KNOW, BE IN THE HALLWAY OR IN OVERFLOW.

FOLKS, WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITH YOU AND MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE

REGISTERED, WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT SO THAT WE'LL HAVE

A CAP AND YOU'LL KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET A SEAT HERE. SO DON'T

JUST NOT COME NOW OR MAKE PLANS TO COME JUST BECAUSE WE MOVED IT

BACK HERE. BUT WE FEEL LIKE THERE'S A NUMBER OF REASONS.

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S GOOD STEWARDSHIP. FOLKS, IT'S

EXPENSIVE TO BE DOWN THERE. AND WE HAD GREAT NUMBERS LAST YEAR.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD. BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO IN THE HOLE. OKAY,

I'M NOT ABOUT THAT. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE

GOOD STEWARDS. WE GOT STUFF TO DO FOR JESUS, AND WE

DON'T JUST NEED TO BE SENDING IT TO AN ARENA.

(APPLAUSE)

AND THEY'VE BEEN WONDERFUL DOWN THERE, BUT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO

BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THAT. AND USE OUR FINANCES WISELY, BECAUSE

I FEEL LIKE GOD IS TELLING US THERE'S TERRITORY TO BE TAKEN,

SO WE WANNA DO REALLY WELL WITH IT. BUT I ALSO FEEL LIKE, AND

MAN, SO MANY OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS WAS LIKE, IT WOULD JUST

BE GREAT FOR YOU GUYS TO BE IN THE PLACE THAT EVERY DAY IS

BATHED IN THE ANOINTING. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, SOMETIMES WE HAVE

TO GET DOWNTOWN AND COUNTER THE DEVILS OF THE CONCERT FROM THE

WEEKEND BEFORE. AND YOU KNOW, IT'LL JUST BE WONDERFUL. THIS IS

THE HOUSE OF PRAISE, THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP. AND SO DON'T BE SHY,

GET OUT THERE, GET SIGNED UP, OPENING THE HEAVENS 2026. AND

WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING MORE ABOUT ALL OF OUR AMAZING

SPEAKERS HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. AND SO BE PART OF IT, GET

REGISTERED, A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING. AND WE HAVE SOME FUN

PLANS. WE'LL DO THE PARTNER LUNCHEON THING IS GONNA LOOK A

LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. BUT IT'S TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW.

WE'RE IN A NEW SEASON. AND SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING TO DO.

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE EXCITED FOR IT? I'M EXCITED. AMEN. ALL

RIGHT, WELL, WE GOTTA RECEIVE NEW MEMBERS IN A FEW MINUTES. I

WANNA GET OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP TODAY. AND THIS IS LIKE THE

PREMIER GIVING SCRIPTURE IN THE BIBLE, LUKE 6:38. BUT THERE'S A

Luke 6:38

PHRASE IN IT THAT SUDDENLY STUCK OUT TO ME. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN

QUOTE SOMETHING FOREVER, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HITS

YOU. AND IT SAYS, "GIVE, AND IT SHALL BE." SOMEBODY SAY, "IT

SHALL BE." IT SHALL BE. SO YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT IF YOU GIVE

SOMETHING, THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT'LL COME AFTER

THAT. IT SHALL BE GIVEN, GIVEN IT SHALL BE GIVEN. UNTO YOU,

GOOD MEASURE, PRESS DOWN. AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT

IT'S A DONE DEAL THAT IF YOU TITHE AND YOU GIVE YOUR

OFFERINGS, YOU GIVE. YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT IF YOU GIVE TO OTHER

PEOPLE, YOU RECIPROCATE. JESUS SAID, "TREAT PEOPLE HOW YOU

WANNA BE TREATED." RIGHT? TREAT OTHERS THE WAY, YOU KNOW, DO

GOOD TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND THEN YOU CAN EXPECT GOOD TO BE DONE

BACK TO YOU. SO IT'S AN AUTOMATIC ASSUMPTION THAT IF WE

GIVE, WE CAN EXPECT TO RECEIVE SOMETHING. THAT WE SHOULD BE,

AND SO THAT TELLS ME THAT WE SHOULD BE IN CONSTANT RECEIVING

MODE. OKAY, BE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE. DON'T BE EXPECTING TO,

OH GOD, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW'S GONNA, DON'T GET

IN THAT EXPECTATION. YOU KNOW, WE GET OURSELVES IN SO MUCH

TROUBLE SOMETIMES WITH OUR MOUTH, WE SPEAK DUMB THINGS. YOU

KNOW, WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THE BILL? OR HOW IS THAT GONNA

WORK OUT? AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN EASILY SAY, AND YOU

KNOW, WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT SOMETIMES. SOMETIMES WE DON'T

EVEN KNOW THE THINGS THAT COME FROM OUR MOUTH WITHOUT THINKING

ABOUT IT. BUT WHAT NEEDS TO COME FROM OUR MOUTH IS IT SHALL BE.

SO EVERY TIME YOU GIVE, YOU TITHE, YOU GIVE AN OFFERING,

GOD, IT SHALL BE, SOMETHING IS COMING BACK TO ME. ECCLESIASTES

SAYS THAT IF YOU CAST YOUR BREAD ON THE WATER, IT'S GONNA START

COMING BACK ON EVERY WAVE. THERE'S ALWAYS WHAT THEY CALL

FULL CIRCLE. IT ALWAYS COMES BACK AROUND. YOU KNOW, WHAT GOES

AROUND COMES AROUND. RIGHT? THAT'S THE OLD SAYING. BUT AND

THIS WORKS IN THE POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE. IT SHALL BE. THERE

IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A RESULT FROM WHATEVER ACTION WE TAKE. IF

IT'S A NEGATIVE, IF YOU DO SOMETHING NEGATIVE, YOU KNOW,

YOU COMMIT WRONG, THERE CAN BE RESULTS OF COMMITTING THAT

WRONG. ISN'T THAT RIGHT? YOU CAN SPEAK WRONG. YOU KNOW, SIN HAS A

CONSEQUENCE. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, WHICH THAT NEEDS TO BE A

MESSAGE TO THE WORLD NOW. COME ON, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO EVIL

AT SOME POINT, YOU'RE GOING TO FACE ETERNITY. AT SOME POINT

THAT IT SHALL BE, THAT SIN'S GOING TO TAKE YOU OUT. OKAY, SO

WHAT WE SOW, WE REAP BACK. SO THERE'S THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF

THAT. BUT THEN IN THE GIVING ATMOSPHERE, THE TITHING

ATMOSPHERE, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER IT SHALL BE. YOU KNOW WHAT I

BELIEVE A LOT OF THE REASON THAT SOME PEOPLE DON'T TITHE AND

AREN'T COMMITTED GIVERS IS THEY FORGET THAT IT SHALL BE. I HAVE

A FUNNY STORY. I'LL JUST SHARE THIS VERY QUICKLY. PASTOR AND I

WERE PRAYING ABOUT A PROJECT WE WERE WORKING ON AND WE WERE

ASKING GOD FOR WISDOM AND WE REACHED OUT TO SOMEBODY TO HELP

US WITH IT. AND WE WERE JUST LIKE, LORD, WE REALLY NEED THIS

TO WORK OUT A CERTAIN WAY SO WE CAN GET THIS AND CERTAIN THINGS

FALL INTO PLACE. AND SO YESTERDAY WE WERE JUST PRAYING.

IN FACT, WE WERE ON WITH PASTOR MATT, WE WERE DOING A MORNING

PRAYER. AND WE'RE PRAYING ALONG AND PASTOR SAYS TO HIM, HE SAYS,

"WELL, I WANT YOU TO PRAY ABOUT THIS WITH US "'CAUSE WE'RE

BELIEVING FOR THIS THING "TO WORK A CERTAIN WAY." AND SO

WE'RE PRAYING ALONG IN THE MIDDLE LIKE, FATHER, WE JUST,

YOU KNOW HOW YOU PRAY. I MEAN, PASTOR AND I ONLY KNOW HOW TO

PRAY PENTECOSTAL. FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND WE JUST

DECLARE, AND WE BREAK THE POWER OF THE DEVIL, AND WE'RE ASKING

YOU, AND WE'RE ON THE PHONE, AND PASTOR WAS ON THE PHONE WITH

MATT, AND I'M WALKING AROUND THE KITCHEN AGREEING, AND ALL OF A

SUDDEN, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PRAYER, WE GET A TEXT FROM THE

PERSON THAT WE HAD REACHED OUT TO ABOUT THIS PROJECT, WAITING

AN ANSWER. AND THEY SAID, "YOU'RE GOING TO BE SO HAPPY."

THIS ALL WORKED OUT. AND PASTOR MATT YELLS OUT ON THE OTHER END

OF THE PHONE, AND HE GOES, "YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY AMEN." I'M LIKE,

"'CAUSE IT SHALL BE!" WHEN YOU TITHE, WHEN YOU GIVE TO GOD, YOU

INVEST IN THE KINGDOM. THERE WILL ALWAYS COME AN "IT SHALL

BE" MOMENT. AND IT'LL COME GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN. COME ON,

BEFORE YOU CAN SAY AMEN TO THE PRAYER. I MEAN, THAT WAS A TRUE

EXAMPLE OF THE PLOWMAN AND THE REAPER, THEY GET TUMBLED OVER

EACH OTHER. THINK ABOUT THAT. GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN,

RUNNING OVER. SHALL MEN GIVE BACK TO YOU? IN FACT, THE PERSON

THAT WE WERE TALKING TO HAD AN INFLUENCE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.

AND THAT PERSON'S LIKE, "SURE, WE CAN DO THAT." I'M LIKE, "GOD

USES PEOPLE." "FOR WITH THE SAME MEASURE YOU DISH OUT." COME ON,

YOU DISH OUT UGLY, YOU DISH OUT WRONG, THAT'S WHAT COMES BACK TO

YOU. THAT'S WHY JESUS, YOU KNOW, COULD SAY, I WAS READING MATTHEW

7 LAST NIGHT, JESUS SAID, "YOU KNOW, WELL, LORD, WE PROPHESY IN

YOUR NAME. "WE DID ALL THESE THINGS." AND HE SAID, "WELL,

DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY." YOU SOW INIQUITY,

COMES BACK, RIGHT, AT YOUR MEASURE. OKAY, WE THINK OF THAT

IN THE NEGATIVE, BUT IN THE POSITIVE, YOU SOW TO THE

KINGDOM, THE MEASURE YOU USE, IT'S GONNA COME BACK TO YOU. SO

LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "YOU KNOW IT SHALL BE." IT SHALL

BE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HOPE FOR IT. COME ON, IT SHALL BE. HOW

MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT'S GOOD? YOU NEED TO TOUCH YOURSELF, SAY

YOUR NAME RIGHT NOW AND SAY, YOU KNOW, IT SHALL BE. THAT THING'S

GONNA WORK OUT, IT SHALL BE. THAT NEEDS TO BE YOUR ANSWER

TODAY. IT SHALL BE. COME ON, IN JESUS' NAME. ALL RIGHT, LET'S

PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. PRAISE THE LORD.

TEXT TO GIVE, ALL THE WAYS TO GIVE. WE'RE GONNA DECLARE IT

SHALL BE TODAY OVER YOUR GIVING. THE WEBSITE, MOBILE APP,

ENVELOPE. THANK YOU FOR AGAIN, THE MAIL, ALL OF YOU WHO USE THE

WONDERFUL UNITED STATES POST OFFICE. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU OUGHT

TO DO EVERY TIME YOU PUT THAT IN THE MAIL? PRAY OVER THE POST

OFFICE. HELP THEM, LORD. I'M ALWAYS AMAZED. YOU KNOW, THE

MAIL CAN MISS DAYS NOW. YOU KNOW, AMAZON COMES AND THEY DONE

PUT YOUR PACKAGE IN THE DINING ROOM AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW

IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENS. THAT'S HOW IT FEELS. YOU'RE

LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD WALK BY YOUR FRONT DOOR AND GO BACK

15 MINUTES LATER AND THERE'S 4 PACKAGES SITTING ON THE THING

AND YOU'RE THINKING, "HOW IN THE WORLD DID THEY GET THERE AND I

DIDN'T EVEN..." AND THEY CAN BYPASS MY DOGS SOMETIMES. THAT'S

AMAZING. TEXT TO GIVE MOBILE APP, SCAN THE QR CODE. THANK YOU

AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE GIVING. AND WHEN YOU'RE GIVING

INTO THE BUILDING PROJECT, FOLKS, WE ARE PUSHING FOR SOME

PAYOFFS. SO YOU NEED TO DECLARE, IT SHALL BE. IF YOU GIVE TO THE

GIVING READY, STAND. UNLESS YOU'RE DRIVING AT HOME, AS

PASTOR HANK ALWAYS SAYS, STAND UP ON YOUR FEET. AMEN. A FEW

MINUTES, WE'RE GOING TO DECLARE QUADRUPLE. COME ON, IT SHALL BE.

IT SHALL BE. WELL, PASTOR BRENDA, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.

IT SHALL BE. AND NOTHING IN THE BIBLE THAT SAYS IT HAS TO LOOK A

CERTAIN WAY. THAT'S WHAT FAITH'S ABOUT. ASK ABRAHAM THAT QUESTION

WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN. IT SHALL BE. FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR

EVERY GIVER. HOLD YOUR PHONE UP, YOUR GIVING ENVELOPE. THOSE OF

YOU ONLINE, DO THE SAME. FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR EVERY GIVER

UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE. AND FATHER, I THANK YOU. THE WORD IS

WORKS IN OUR LIFE. AND WE SOW IT. WE SOW IT IN FAITH. WE SOW

IT BELIEVING. AND WE THANK YOU, LORD. WE STAND UPON THE PROMISE

THAT WHEN WE GIVE, IT SHALL BE. WE HOLD TO IT, WE CIRCLE IT, WE

HIGHLIGHT IT, AND WE UNDERLINE IT, AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT. SAY

IT ONE MORE TIME, IT SHALL BE. AMEN!

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO OUR DECLARATION. WE DECLARE THE

CAMPUS AND MINISTRY OF LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH SHALL BE INCREASED,

EXPANDED, AND DEBT-FREE. WE DECREE IT SHALL HAPPEN WITHOUT

PASTOR BRENDA. WE GOT NEW MEMBERS, BUT USHERS, YOU CAN GO

AHEAD AND USH THE PEOPLE. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIVING AS

ALWAYS, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. LISTEN, WE ARE

WORKING ON A LOT OF STUFF. SO PRAYING THROUGH, GETTING WISDOM,

GETTING DIRECTION FROM GOD AND OTHER THINGS. SO YOUR GIVING IS

REALLY HELPING. SO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU ALSO. LOOK AT WHAT GOD

AND THE PEOPLE DID. LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. AND I WANNA

CHALLENGE YOU, WHEN YOU PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT HERE, OR

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MAY NOT BE PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT,

BUT YOU BACKED UP AND PARKED IN YOUR SOFA, YOUR CHAIR, YOUR

WATCH, AND GIVE A MOMENT TO THANK GOD FOR THIS HOUSE THAT HE

DWELLS IN. I THINK THAT'S REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT. HOW

MANY OF YOU DO THAT? IN FACT, AS PASTOR BRENDA WAS MENTIONING

THAT STORY YESTERDAY, THE FIRST THING WE DID IS WE JUST LOOKED

UP TO THE FATHER, AND WE JUST BLEW HIM A BIG OLD KISS, AND I

SAID, "FATHER, WE'VE JUST BEEN KISSED BY YOU." AND IT JUST, HOW

MANY OF YOU EVER HAD THE FAVOR OF GOD JUST BOOM, KISS YOU LIKE

THAT? IT'S SPECIAL. SO I'LL TELL YOU, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT GETS

GOD'S ATTENTION IS A GRATEFUL HEART. HE LIKES IT, AND SO WE

WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE THAT FOR HIM. OKAY, WELL, WE'RE

GETTING READY TO RECEIVE NEW MEMBERS, AND I'LL CALL YOU FORTH

THOSE THAT WENT THROUGH THE CLASS THERE ON THURSDAY. PASTOR

DOUG, ANNALENE, THANK YOU FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB AS

ALWAYS. I'LL TELL YOU, I'VE ALWAYS PRAYED FOR GOOD STAFF,

AND I HAVE A GREAT, GREAT, GREAT PASTORAL STAFF. PASTOR MIKE,

WHAT YOU DO WITH THE YOUTH AND THEN ALSO WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH

ZION SCHOOL, YOU'RE THE PRINCIPAL, BUT I TELL ALL THE

KIDS THAT I CAN OVERRULE YOUR DECISION WHEN IT COMES TO

LETTING THEM OUT OF SCHOOL. SO I TELL THEM, I SAID, NOW GO BACK

AND TELL PASTOR MIKE, YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL THE

REST OF THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN THEY STILL GET OUT, THEY DON'T

GET OUT OF SCHOOL. SO, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT NEED TO CONNECT THERE,

YOU KNOW, AND THE KIDS JUST ROLL THEIR EYES WHEN I SAY IT, BUT

ANYWAY, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. AND, UH, GIVE A HAND CLAP

THERE. AND THEN PASTOR KEITH, I DON'T KNOW WHERE PASTOR KEITH

IS. OH, HE'S IN BAPTISM THERE. SEE, I LOVE HAVING THE STAFF

THAT WE HAVE. HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB OVER THERE. AND HE, UH, I

LOVE HIS TEACHING. HE'S A REALLY, REALLY GOOD TEACHER,

JUST LIKE PASTOR DOUG IS. AND OF COURSE WE'VE GOT PASTOR CHRISTIE

AND SHANE BACK THERE. HOW ARE YOU? THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BECAUSE

THEY'RE RELATED TO US. AND THEN WE HAVE PASTOR MATT. HE HAS NO

CHOICE, HE'S RELATED TO US TOO. SO I HAVE HIM SITTING BEHIND ME

'CAUSE SOMETIMES I NEED TO TALK TO HIM AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T

LIKE LEANING OVER AND THEN IT'S LIKE WE HIT HEADS AND I'M LIKE,

JUST SIT BEHIND ME SO I CAN SAY SOMETHING TO YOU. SO ANYWAY,

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT 'CAUSE IT REALLY DOES

HELP OR I HAVE TO PASS HIM SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT TO

HELP HIM WITH ME. HE DOES A LOT OF STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I'LL PASS HIM A NOTE AND SAY,

HEY, MAKE SURE THAT YOU LET THEM KNOW THIS, OR IF THERE'S ANY

PRAYER REQUESTS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GET UP TO PRAY, LIKE IF

PASTOR BRENDA'S LEADING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR I'M

LEADING, HE'LL LEAN OVER TO PASTOR BRENDA AND SAY, HEY,

THESE ARE SOME PRAYER REQUESTS. AND SO WE ALWAYS WANNA INCLUDE

YOU. YOU'RE OUR FAMILY AS WELL. SO, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE PASTOR

ANTHONY. I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS. HE'S IN BAPTISM TOO. SO, AND

THEN OF COURSE WE, PASTOR MARK. WHERE'S PASTOR MARK? I CAN'T SEE

YOU, PASTOR MARK. NO, I'M JUST TEASING. I LOVE YOU. THIS GUY,

HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE THE WAY THE FACILITY LOOKS? HE DOES AN

AMAZING JOB WITH THIS FACILITY. AND PASTOR MARK, I DON'T KNOW

HOW YOU DO THIS, BUT I'LL BE UP PRAYING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY

PHONE WILL GIVE A NOTIFICATION, IT'S LIKE 3:35 IN THE MORNING,

I'M LIKE, GOD, ARE YOU TALKING TO ME ABOUT MY CELL PHONE? AND I

LOOK AT IT, PASTOR MARK'S SENDING ME, HE'S SO GOOD ABOUT

THIS, A WEEKLY FACILITIES REPORT. SO I ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S

GOING ON WITH THE FACILITY, WHAT NEEDS MY ATTENTION. SO GO TO

BED. AND OF COURSE, YOU GOT PASTOR DOJI AND CHELSEA FROM THE

MISSION. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN WORK THERE. WE'RE SO PROUD. SO

WE'VE GOT A GREAT STAFF HERE. I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE LEFT ANYBODY

OUT, CORRECT? IF I DID, OKAY, THANK YOU, 'CAUSE I DON'T WANNA

DO THAT. WELL, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT A SCRIPTURE, PSALM 92. I

BELIEVE THAT IS THE ONE. VERSE 13, AND HOW MANY WERE HERE LAST

WEDNESDAY? WE TALKED ABOUT BEING ROOTED AND FRUITED. YOU KNOW,

IT'S NOT JUST ENOUGH TO, YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO OUR FAVORITE

SPEAKERS, RIGHT? THEY NEED TO BE ROOTED. YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOWN

PASTOR DOUG FOR, GOLLY, 30 SOME YEARS, YOU KNOW. GO BACK A LONG

WAYS AND SUCH. AND BOB, 40 YEARS, YOU WERE IN MY WEDDING, I

WAS IN YOURS. AND WE'RE PROUD OF YOU. KEEP GROWING, KEEP DOING

WHAT YOU'RE DOING. GOD'S, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS WAIT ON THE LORD,

YOU KNOW. I LOVE BOB, BUT I CAN'T BE THE ONE THAT SETS HIM

IN HIS PLACE, GOD DOES. AND SO I'M VERY DISCIPLINED THAT WAY IS

ONE OF THE, AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, I KNOW I'M RATTLING, BUT I

THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, I WAS LOOKING OVER KIND OF WHAT I WANT

TO TALK ABOUT ON RESURRECTION SUNDAY, AND IT HIT ME ALL THE

TIMES THEY HAD TO WAIT. AND I THOUGHT, MAYBE I'M GONNA TALK

ABOUT ONE OF THE WORST THINGS I HATE IS WAITING. THAT MIGHT BE A

GREAT RESURRECTION MESSAGE, SO. YOU ARE NOT EXCITED ABOUT IT.

THAT IS DEFINITELY THE MESSAGE THEN, OKAY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

THE ONE THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HEAR, RIGHT? SO ANYWAY, BUT

WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ROOTED AND FRUITED AND THOSE OF YOU

THAT ARE WATCHING, BUT LOOK AT PSALM 92. WHY IS MEMBERSHIP

IMPORTANT? THINK ABOUT THIS. YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WAS KEEPING

TRACK, 120 MEET IN THE UPPER ROOM ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST,

THE CHURCH'S BIRTH, RIGHT? AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GROWS TO

3,000, 5,000 GREAT NUMBERS. IT WAS MEGA CHURCH AND MEGA

CHURCHES. GOD JUST KEPT GROWING IT AND GROWING IT, GROWING IT.

NOW HERE'S THE POINT. SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY IN OUR CULTURE, I'VE

TRAVELED THE WORLD, I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF NATIONS. THE MINDSET OF

CHURCH COMMITMENT AND INVOLVEMENT IS DIFFERENT IN

OTHER NATIONS. BECAUSE OVER THERE THEY'VE GOT TO FIGHT FOR

THEIR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. WELL, WE ARE STARTING TO NOW IN

AMERICA IF WE DON'T WAKE UP. BUT NOTICE A PRINCIPLE THAT IF YOU

WANT TO, HOW MANY OF YOU WANNA LIVE LONG? EVERY HAND OUGHT TO

GO UP. SOME OF YOU THAT ARE OLDER ARE LIKE, "OH, I'VE

ALREADY LIVED LONG ENOUGH, I'M OUT OF HERE." NO, NO, NO, NO,

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU WANNA LIVE LONG. YOU PUT THE HAND UP,

THOSE OF YOU. DO YOU KNOW GETTING PLUGGED IN, WHETHER IT

BE ONLINE AS AN E-MEMBER OR HERE, IS PART OF THE LONGEVITY

OF YOUR LIFE. AND ALSO, IT'S ABOUT GETTING YOUR PRAYERS

ANSWERED. WAIT A MINUTE, YOU MEAN MY PRAYERS CAN'T GET

ANSWERED? NO, I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A PRINCIPLE. LET'S JUST GO TO

THE WORD. LET'S GO TO THE WORD. I THINK WE GOTTA LOOK AT THE

WORD AND LET THE WORD BE YOUR ANSWER. RIGHT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT,

THOSE THAT BE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, WHAT'S GONNA

HAPPEN IF YOU'RE PLANTED? NOT POTTED, POTTED PEOPLE ARE, HEY,

I DON'T LIKE IT. I JUST THINK, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING OFFEND YOU.

YOU DON'T LIKE, SOMEBODY MADE YOU MAD. THEY CUT IN LINE AT THE

WATER FOUNTAIN IN THE HALL OF THE CHURCH AND NOW YOU'RE OUT OF

HERE. THE PASTOR DOESN'T SAY HI TO YOU, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW. I

DON'T KNOW, SOME PEOPLE, THEY JUST PICK THEMSELVES UP AND GO

FROM CHURCH TO CHURCH. IT'S NOT WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. IT SAYS

YOU HAVE TO BE PLANTED, YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR ROOTS DOWN, RIGHT?

IS THE PASTOR GONNA GET THE HONOR OF MARRYING YOU IF YOU'RE

SINGLE? PERFORMING THE CEREMONY, THERE YOU GO. IS THE PASTOR

GONNA GET THE OPPORTUNITY, SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR CHILDREN

DEDICATED TO BE PART OF THAT, THE PASTORS? IS YOUR PASTOR,

WHEN YOU GO HOME TO BE WITH JESUS, ARE YOU GONNA BE ROOTED

ALONG ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SAY, WOW, THAT

WAS A FAITHFUL SERVANT. THAT'S HOW I VIEW THINGS AS A PASTOR.

THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 29 YEARS. AND SOMEBODY ASKED ME,

YOU'RE GONNA RETIRE? NO, I'M GONNA BE 60 IN MAY, NO. WHEN I

SAID YES TO MY CALLING AND YES TO GOD, I'M IN IT FOR THE LONG

HAUL. AND THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE. SO THOSE THAT BE PLANTED

IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, NOTICE WHAT'LL HAPPEN, THEY'LL FLOURISH

IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD. I WANT YOU TO STAND YOUR FEET 'CAUSE

WE'RE GONNA WELCOME THE NEW PEOPLE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE PASTOR

BRENDA COME. BUT NOTICE, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE A MEMBER,

YOU'RE PLANTED, YOU PUT YOUR ROOTS INTO THE CHURCH? WHAT'S

GONNA HAPPEN? I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS. YOU'RE GONNA FLOURISH

WHERE? THAT'S THE COURTS OF HEAVEN. THAT'S WHERE GOD DEALS

WITH THINGS ACCORDING TO A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE. IT'S HIS

FOUNDATION. IF YOU WANNA FLOURISH WHERE IT REALLY

MATTERS, WHERE YOU BRING YOUR CASES BEFORE GOD AND YOU

PETITION HIM, HE'S GONNA LOOK AND GO, WELL, LOOK AT WHAT

YOU'RE DOING FOR MY HOUSE. LOOK AT HOW YOU'RE HONORING THE

LEADER THAT I GAVE. LOOK AT HOW YOU'RE LOVING THE BROTHER RIGHT

NEXT TO YOU. LOOK AT HOW YOU'RE TITHING AND GIVING OFFERINGS TO

SUPPORT MY TABERNACLE IN MY HOUSE. WOW, YOU'RE GONNA

FLOURISH AS A PLANTED CHRISTIAN. NOW WATCH, YOU'RE GONNA BRING

FRUIT, VERSE 14. I'VE NEVER PREACHED THIS, I HAVEN'T HEARD

THIS PREACHED. THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD, 'CAUSE I FEEL HIM

ON ME FOR THIS. "THEY SHALL BRING FORTH FRUIT IN AN OLD

AGE." IT'S PART OF THE LONGEVITY OF YOUR LIFE. AND THEY SHALL BE

FAT AND FLOURISHING. OH, NO, YOU DON'T LIKE THAT. THAT MEANS

YOU'RE GONNA BE, SOME OF YOU, OH YES, I'VE GAINED WEIGHT SINCE

YOU LAID HANDS ON ME AND RECEIVED ME IN A MEMBERSHIP. OR

RECEIVED ME AS ANY MEMBER. NO, THAT'S NOT IT. THAT'S JUST, THAT

IS REALLY FUNNY. THAT IS MEANING THAT YOU PROSPER AND THAT YOU

HAVE GOOD SUCCESS. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, IF YOU WENT THROUGH

THE CLASS, PASTORS, COME ON FORWARD. THOSE OF YOU THAT WENT

THROUGH THE CLASS LAST THURSDAY, WE'D LIKE TO RECEIVE YOU AND

HAVE YOU COME FORWARD AND STAND UP FRONT SO EVERYBODY IN THE

FAMILY CAN SEE YOU. AND I'M GONNA WELCOME YOU. JUST STAND IN

FRONT OF ME. BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL. WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR

YOU. WE'RE GONNA LAY OUR HANDS ON YOU AND RECEIVE YOU. SO I HAD

A REALLY, REALLY GOOD TIME WATCHING SOME OF YOUR STORIES,

DANIELLE, FROM TEXAS. HAVE YOU BEEN HERE IN WINTER YET? FIRST

WINTER. AND THEN I HEARD ABOUT SOMEBODY IS ENGAGED OR SOMETHING

LIKE THAT. IS THAT, WOW! AND THE CAMERA GUY. YEAH, NICHOLAS,

OKAY, HE WORKS FOR US. I'M GONNA HAVE A TALK WITH HIM. PUTTING

CAMERA ON A PRETTY GIRL AND THEN PUTTING A RING ON HER FINGER.

NO, I'M JUST TEASING, YOU'RE FINE. I THINK IT'S GREAT, I

THINK IT'S WONDERFUL. WHERE'S THE SOUTH AFRICANS? I LOVE SOUTH

AFRICA. I'VE BEEN THERE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF MY RELICS IN MY

OFFICE ARE FROM SOUTH AFRICA, LIKE LIONS AND THINGS LIKE, AH,

I LOVED IT. I DON'T WANNA, I GOTTA PREACH TO YOU, BUT I GOTTA

TELL YOU A QUICK STORY. SO WHEN I WENT TO SOUTH AFRICA, JO'BURG,

I BROUGHT ALL OF THESE LIKE CARVINGS OF THESE LIONS AND

RHINOS AND STUFF 'CAUSE I LOVE 'EM. AND I PLANNED THE WHOLE DAY

ON HOW TO WRAP 'EM AND PUT 'EM IN MY CARRYON 'CAUSE I DIDN'T

WANT 'EM TO BREAK. AND I EVEN KINDA HAD A LITTLE BUBBLE WRAP.

AND I GET TO THE AIRPORT, I GET ON THE PLANE, I LIFT IT UP AND I

EVEN PRACTICE. AND THE LADY, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, SHE GOES,

"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE. "THAT LOOKED

HEAVY." I'M LIKE, "OH, IT'S FINE. "THERE'S NOTHING

IN THERE "THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO BE CONCERNED

ABOUT. "THAT'S THE WORST THING YOU SAY."

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

AND SO SHE MADE ME GET IT DOWN, OPEN IT UP. WELL, FIRST SHE

TRIED TO LIFT, SHE COULDN'T EVEN LIFT IT. SO SHE CALLS THE

AIRPORT SECURITY ON ME. I'M LIKE, "LADY, THIS DOESN'T NEED,"

AND THEY, SO THEY SAID, "SIR, THIS COULD BREAK "THROUGH THE

OVERHEAD AND LAND ON PEOPLE'S HEADS." I SAID, "WELL, I'M THE

ONE UNDERNEATH IT. "I ALREADY PRAYED, IT'S FINE." SO THEY MAKE

ME GET OFF, AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ME PAY ALL THIS TAX, AND I

LOOK AT THE LADY, AND I JUST SAID, "I'M REALLY SORRY. "I JUST

REALLY LIKE AFRICA." SHE GOES, "YOU DO?" I SAY, "YEAH, I LOVE

IT." SHE GOES, "YOU KNOW WHAT? "HERE'S WHAT WE'LL DO. "YOU

GOTTA CHECK IT ON, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANY TAXES "OR

ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR WHATEVER, OR I COULD STILL FLY. "BUT YOU

KNOW WHAT, THERE'S ONLY ONE THING BROKEN ON, "IT'S THE

RHINO'S NOSE, AND I THINK IT WAS A MESSAGE "TO THE REPUBLICAN

RHINOS THAT THEY NEED TO JUST STOP IT."

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

THAT'S THE BEST I COULD COME UP WITH. ALL RIGHT, WE BETTER MOVE

THIS SERVICE ALONG OR WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET ANYWHERE. WOULD

YOU PRAY OVER THERE AND THEN WE'RE GONNA LAY OUR HANDS ON IT.

LET'S STRETCH OUR HANDS. DAVE, GREAT TO HAVE YOU AND YOUR WIFE

HERE. FATHER, WE JUST THANK YOU FOR EACH OF THESE THAT HAVE

CHOSEN TO PUT THEIR ROOTS DOWN IN THIS HOUSE, LORD OF HOSTS

THAT. YOU DON'T SOUND EXCITED. I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE TODAY. SAY

THAT TO SOMEBODY. ALL RIGHT, CAN I HAVE A LITTLE FUN WITH YOU? I

KNOW I'M TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, BUT I DON'T PLAN ON

PREACHING A LONG TIME 'CAUSE I PLAN ON TAKING A LONG NAP,

BUT THEN AGAIN, GOD'S GONNA PROBABLY REDIRECT ME.

ALL RIGHT, SO HOW MANY MEN IN THE HOUSE?

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

YEAH. 8 OF YOU.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

HEY, I KNOW WE'RE MAKING A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT OUR DANCE

CONTEST, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE LIKE SOUNDTRACK MUSIC AND SOME

GUYS ARE GOING TO BUST A MOVE AND STUFF, BUT WE REALLY ARE

GONNA HAVE A SPIRITUAL MOMENT BESIDES THAT AND EATING. I'M

GONNA PREACH A GREAT MESSAGE TO YOU AS WELL AS WE WANNA PRAY FOR

YOU, MINISTER TO YOU, LAY HANDS ON YOU, LET GOD JUST TALK WITH

YOU IF HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU. SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME

OF JUST MINISTERING AND I'M GONNA REALLY TEACH YOU SOME

THINGS, MEN, ABOUT HOW TO BE MIGHTY MEN. AND WE'RE GONNA BASE

IT OFF OF SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DAVID'S

MIGHTY MEN. AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THOSE KIND OF MEN.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN AND LOTS OF LAUGHS. BUT WITHOUT FURTHER

ADO, I'M A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT SHOWING YOU THIS VIDEO

BECAUSE I'M GONNA SHOW YOU MY DANCE MOVES. AND HERE'S THE

THING, I DON'T REALLY WANNA SHOW IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO

STUMBLE. I DON'T. I DON'T WANT YOU TO STUMBLE AS IN, YOU MAY

NOT TRY OUT FOR THE DANCE CONTEST AFTER YOU SEE THESE

MOVES. BUT THEN THE OTHER REASON IS, I DON'T WANT YOU TO STUMBLE

'CAUSE I DON'T WANT SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE NO RHYTHM, I DON'T

WANT YOU TO FALL OVER WHEN YOU TRY IT AND STUMBLE. SO ARE YOU

READY? HOW MANY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT? ALL RIGHT, HERE IT IS.

(MUSIC)

HEY MAN, HOW YOU DOING, MAN? LISTEN, I KNOW YOU'RE FEELING

THE BEAT LIKE I AM, YOU KNOW. I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO AN

INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, GET DOWN, GET DOWN IN THE

MORNING, GET DOWN WITH SOME FOOD, YOU KNOW, AND TRY TO MOVE

AGAIN. YOU KNOW, SOME OF YOU GUYS GOT ARTHRITIS, YOU KNOW.

SOME OF YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO MOVE ANYMORE. AND SOME OF

YOU YOUNG GUYS, YOU THINK YOU'RE COOL. WELL, LISTEN, BRING IT ON,

BECAUSE RIGHT HERE ON MY DANCE FLOOR, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO THE BEAT. WE'RE GOING TO DISCO THIS WAY

AND DISCO THAT WAY. BUT HERE'S THE REAL THING, MAN. WE'RE GOING

TO COME TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO BREAK BREAD. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

A GREAT TIME. SO I'LL SEE YOU THERE. AND DON'T FORGET, YOU GOT

TO LEARN HOW TO MOVE. AND REMEMBER, MEN, SHOW YOUR FACE

THAT YOU'RE ALIVE. SOME OF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ME IN CHURCH FOR A

WHILE. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE. I'LL SEE YOU

THERE AT THE MEN'S MEETING, ALL RIGHT? BREAK IT DOWN AND

REMEMBER SOMETHING. I WANNA SEE YOUR MOVES. I'LL SEE YOU THERE.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

MY NAME IS PASTOR HANK. I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT. ALL

RIGHT, SO ANYWAY. ARE YOU GONNA LISTEN TO ME NOW OR

AFTER THAT? DID I RUIN YOU? DID I WRECK YOU?

(LAUGHING)

ALL RIGHT, OPEN YOUR BIBLES, PLEASE, TO ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER

Ecclesiastes 3 · chapter mention

3 . CAPTAIN, YOU'RE OVER THERE ACTING ALL SWAG, YOU KNOW, HE'S

GONNA BE TRAVELING WITH ME TO BOISE THIS WEEK FOR FLASHPOINT.

I'M GONNA SEE WHAT YOU GOT. I'M TALKING ABOUT GELATO, I DON'T

CARE ABOUT YOUR MOVES. I MEAN, SO FIND ME A GELATO PLACE. BUT

ANYWAY, ALL RIGHT, BY THE WAY, FLASHPOINT, DON'T FORGET. I

THINK GENE SAID IT'S SOLD OUT IN BOISE, BUT YOU CAN WATCH ONLINE.

ALL RIGHT, I WANNA TALK ABOUT THIS NEW SEASON THAT WE'RE IN

BECAUSE I SENSE VERY STRONGLY IN MY HEART THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE

THAT ARE GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE NARRATIVES OF THE DAY. WHAT

DO I MEAN BY THE NARRATIVES OF THE DAY? YOU KNOW, WHAT PUBLIC

OPINION IS, WHAT THE NEWS MEDIA SAYS, RIGHT? SOME PEOPLE ARE

GETTING CAUGHT UP IN FEAR BECAUSE ANYTIME YOU SEE A NATION

LIKE WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN IRAN AND THE EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING

PLACE, IT CAN GET SCARY. YOU CAN BEGIN TO THINK ALL KINDS OF

THOUGHTS, RIGHT? BUT IF YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT HEAVEN HAS

SAID AHEAD OF TIME AND IS SAYING, YOU CAN NAVIGATE WITHOUT

FEAR. YOU CAN NAVIGATE WITH THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE. AND THAT'S

WHAT'S IMPORTANT. SO GOD'S BEEN SAYING TO US THAT WE'VE BEEN IN

A TIME OF SIFTING, WHICH IS LIKE SHAKING. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE

HAD A LITTLE BIT OF THAT THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN THE EARTH?

THERE'S BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF SHAKING GOING ON. IN FACT, IRAN

JUST HAD AN EARTHQUAKE RECENTLY. HOW MANY OF YOU SAW THAT? SO

THERE'S A LOT OF SHAKING GOING ON, AND GOD DID PROMISE THAT

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE WOULD DO IS HE WOULD SHAKE

EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN, RIGHT? BUT THEN THERE IS NOT

JUST A SIFTING, BUT NOW THERE'S A SHIFTING. NATIONS ARE

SHIFTING, EVENTS IN THE EARTH ARE SHIFTING. AND THE LORD SAID

IT'S CALLED A SHIFT CHANGE. THINGS ARE TURNING, THINGS ARE

SHIFTING, THINGS ARE CHANGING. WELL, PASTOR HANK, THAT'S GREAT,

BUT PLEASE TELL ME IT HAS A GOOD ENDING. HOW MANY EVER WATCHED A

MOVIE AND IT'S KIND OF SAD, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE LIKE,

MAN, I NEED TO TURN THIS THING OFF, BUT I PRAY IT HAS A GOOD

ENDING. AND THEN YOU WATCH IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND IT HAS A

TERRIBLE ENDING. HOW MANY EVER BEEN THERE BEFORE? YOU WENT TO A

MOVIE, SOMEBODY RECOMMENDED ONE TO YOU, AND THEN IT WINDS UP

BEING NOT WHAT YOU THOUGHT. THAT'S NOT GOD, THAT'S NOT WHAT

GOD'S PLAN. HE'S SHIFTING, SIFTING, AND NOW HE'S GONNA DO

SOMETHING SWIFT. THERE'S AN ACCELERATION COMING. NOW

ECCLESIASTES 3, VERSE 1, IT SHOWS US THIS PATTERN. TO

Ecclesiastes 3:1

EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON. STOP RIGHT THERE, WE'VE BEEN

TALKING ABOUT IT. WHAT IS THE SEASON? IT'S BEEN THE SEASON OF

SHAKING. HOW MANY OF YOU SEE THAT? AND A TIME FOR EVERY

PURPOSE. WELL, WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THESE SHAKINGS? TO

SHIFT AND CHANGE THINGS. GOD EVEN SAID THE MAPS OF THE

NATIONS, SOME OF THEM WOULD CHANGE AND EVEN BE RENAMED.

WELL, GOD'S GOT AN AGENDA. AND PART OF IT IS HE HAS TO SHAKE IT

FIRST SO THAT IT CAN SHIFT AND BEGIN TO MOVE TOWARDS THE

CHANGE. BUT THEN WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? TO BRING US INTO

ACCELERATION, TO BRING US INTO A NEW SEASON. SO I WANT YOU TO GO

TO THE NEXT SCRIPTURE, PLEASE. I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT MATTHEW

Matthew 9:33

9:33. AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS. WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA

COME BACK TO THIS SCRIPTURE, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

BECAUSE IS THERE EVER EVENTS IN THE EARTH THAT GOD SHAKES,

BRINGS A CHANGE THAT IS SO AMAZING THAT YOU HAVE A HARD

TIME BELIEVING IT? YOU LITERALLY LOOK AT IT AND GO, MAN, I'VE

NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. THINGS IN NATIONS I'VE NEVER SEEN

BEFORE. THERE'S PEOPLE IN VENEZUELA THAT ARE SAYING, WE

DIDN'T SEE THIS IN OUR LIFE. THERE'S PEOPLE IN IRAN, WE'VE,

FOR THE LAST 47 YEARS, WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS. THERE'S PEOPLE

IN CUBA THAT ARE ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING. WE'VE NEVER SEEN

THIS IN OUR LIFETIME. YEAH, PASTOR MIKE, I'M TELLING YOU,

KEEP YOUR EYE ON CUBA. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY

TO ME A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. HE SAID, "PRAY FOR CUBA, MY EYES

ARE ON THEM NOW." I'M LIKE, WELL, EVERY TIME YOUR EYES BEEN

ON A NATION AND YOU'VE SAID IT, SOMETHING'S HAPPENED, SO LET'S

JUST WATCH WHAT GOD DOES. BUT THE POINT IS, IT'S FOR THIS

PURPOSE, MATTHEW 9:33, THE DEVIL WAS CAST OUT, AND THEN LET'S

Matthew 9:33

KEEP READING. THE MULTITUDES MARVELED. NOW YOU GOTTA BACK UP

TO THE FIRST PART. THE DEVIL WAS WHAT? SO SOMETIMES GOD HAS TO

DEAL WITH THINGS IN THE SPIRIT REALM BEFORE YOU SEE IT IN THE

NATURAL. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE BOMBS AND ALL

THIS STUFF IN THE NATURAL, AND THEY'RE FORMULATING AN OPINION

ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING. BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT A

LOT OF TIMES, THEY PERCEIVE WRONG IN THE NATURAL. THEY'RE

LOOKING AT THE BOMBS, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT THINGS

THAT ARE HAPPENING, AND THEY THINK, OH, WELL, YOU KNOW,

EITHER THEY AGREE WITH IT OR THEY DON'T AGREE WITH IT. BUT

THEY HAVE TO GO BACK, THAT THERE ARE TIMES IN HISTORY WHERE THE

LORD WILL DEAL WITH WHAT I CALL POLITICAL DEVILS. DEVILS THAT

ARE PART OF KINGDOMS AND NATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, RIGHT,

PRINCIPALITIES. EPHESIANS 6 SAYS THAT IT GIVES YOU THE RANK OF

DEMONIC. YOU GOT THE DEVIL, YOU GOT SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH

PLACES, YOU HAVE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, YOU HAVE RULERS OF

DARKNESS, RIGHT, YOU HAVE LITTLE DEMONS, AND YOU HAVE THE RANKS.

BUT IN DANIEL CHAPTER 10, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

Daniel 10 · chapter mention

SOMETHING HAPPENS. A MAN, DANIEL, IS PRAYING. AND WHEN

HE'S PRAYING, THE FIRST DAY HE PRAYED, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD

HEARD HIS WORDS. AND THOSE WORDS, THOSE PRAYERS WENT UP

INTO THE EARS OF THE FATHER. BUT SOMETHING BEGAN TO HAPPEN. AND

THE PRINCIPALITIES OF PERSIA AND GRECIA, WHICH PERSIA IS

OBVIOUSLY IRAN, BEGAN TO INTERFERE WITH A MAN PRAYING IN

THE KINGDOM, FOR THE KINGDOM. AND AS A RESULT, THE ANGEL

MICHAEL, ARCHANGEL, HAD TO COME AND LITERALLY REVEAL TO DANIEL

THAT, "HEY, DON'T JUDGE THINGS BY THE NATURAL. "IT MAY LOOK

LIKE DELAY, "IT MAY LOOK LIKE NOTHING'S HAPPENING, OR IT MAY

LOOK LIKE SOMETHING'S HAPPENING, BUT BE AWARE, THE FIRST DAY YOU

PRAYED, WE HAD THAT POLITICAL DEVIL OF PERSIA RISE UP. AND GOD

HAD TO SEND AN ANGEL WHO ALSO HAD TO DEAL IN POLITICS. DANIEL

HAD TO DEAL IN POLITICS, SO THAT THERE COULD BE A SHIFT AND THERE

COULD BE A CHANGE AS A RESULT. SO WHY AM I SAYING THIS TO YOU?

IS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT IRAN, YOU'RE LOOKING

AT ANCIENT PERSIA. DON'T JUST LOOK AT EVERYTHING IN THE

NATURAL REALM TO WHERE YOU MISINTERPRET WHAT GOD IS DOING.

ONCE AGAIN, HE'S DEALING WITH THESE SPIRITS, THESE ANCIENT

DEVILS, SO THAT THE PEOPLE CAN BE LIBERATED. HOW MANY SEE THAT?

ALL RIGHT, NOW I WANT YOU TO LOOK HERE, GO BACK TO MATTHEW 9.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT MATTHEW 9, AND YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST PART,

THE DEVIL WAS CAST OUT. SO BEFORE GOD CAN BRING ANY KIND OF

CHANGE, HE'S GOT TO DEAL WITH THE DEMONIC. BEFORE THERE CAN BE

AN ACCELERATION, HE DEALS WITH THE DEMONIC. YOU'RE SEEING

ACCELERATION. YOU'RE SEEING EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN THE

EARTH. AND IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND

THAT JUST LIKE IN EXODUS 8, WHERE GOD HAD TO PUT HIS FINGER

OVER A NATION AND A HARDHEARTED PHARAOH WHO WERE OPPRESSING THE

PEOPLE. ALATOLA, KHOMEINI, WHO'S NO MORE, WAS OPPRESSING THE

PEOPLE FOR 47 YEARS. AND GOD LITERALLY KEPT SAYING, "THROUGH

ACTS OF DIPLOMACY, "LET THE PEOPLE GO." LET THE PEOPLE GO,

STOP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING. BUT SEE, SO MANY PEOPLE, THEY

DON'T REMEMBER CERTAIN THINGS, EXCUSE ME, THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN

THE EARTH. GO BACK 47 YEARS AGO, HOW MANY REMEMBER RONALD REAGAN

WAS THE ONE THAT LITERALLY THE FIRST DAY HE GETS IN OFFICE,

THEY HAD, THE ALATOLA HAD TAKEN HOSTAGE HOW MANY AMERICAN

PEOPLE? WASN'T A COUPLE HUNDRED OR SOMETHING FOR LIKE 400 DAYS.

50. HOW MANY? 50. 50 HOSTAGES? 444 DAYS, 50. SO 50 HOSTAGES,

400 IN HOW MANY DAYS? 444. 444 DAYS. GREAT. THIS IS CRAZY.

RONALD REAGAN RISES UP AND WILL THE REST IS HISTORY. BUT YOU

KNOW WHAT? LISTEN, OBAMA AND OTHER ADMINISTRATIONS KEPT

FUNNELING MONEY TO THIS REGIME THAT WERE KNOWN TO HAVE

TERRORIST ACTS AGAINST US AND OUR COUNTRY AND PART OF

TERRORIST ACTS. AND PEOPLE SIT THERE AND LOOK LIKE, "OH, WE

HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING THERE." NO, THAT REGIME HAD NO BUSINESS

DOING WHAT IT DID TO THE UNITED STATES, TO ITS OWN PEOPLE, LET

ALONE THE OTHER NATIONS. SO GO BACK TO MATTHEW 9, VERSE 33. GOD

Matthew 9:33

WILL DEAL WITH THE DEMONIC. HE'LL CAST THEM OUT. HE'LL MOVE

REGIMES. WHAT HAPPENED IN EXODUS 8 WHEN GOD'S FINGER CAME IN TO

CAST THE EVIL SPIRITS OUT CONCERNING PHARAOH IN EGYPT? GOD

TOOK OUT THE ARMY OF PHARAOH. GOD TOOK THEM OUT AND THEY WERE

DROWNED IN THE RED SEA. SO HISTORY DOES REPEAT ITSELF. SO

GOD WILL CAST THE DEVIL OUT, HE'LL DEAL WITH THE DEMONIC, AND

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE MULTITUDES, WHAT DO THEY DO?

THEY MARVEL. AND NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS. WE'VE NEVER SO SEEN

THIS IN ALL OF ISRAEL. RATHER THAN GETTING IN FEAR, RATHER

THAN GETTING INTO UNNECESSARY, UNIMPORTANT RHETORIC IN THE

EARTH, WHAT WE NEED TO REALLY DO IS HAVE THIS MARVELING WHERE WE

SAY, "GOD, YOU'RE DEALING WITH A DEMONIC. "WE'VE NEVER SO SEEN

THIS, BUT GOD, WHO ARE WE? "LET NOT JUST YOUR FINGERS SHOW UP,

"BUT GOD, LET YOUR HAND ACCOMPLISH "EVERY PURPOSE THAT

YOU HAVE." SO WE'RE SEEING THIS. NOW, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT

ISAIAH 43, VERSE 19, BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE WE IN THIS TIME OF A

Isaiah 43:19

SHIFT CHANGE, NOT ONLY ARE WE MOVING TOWARDS SWIFT CHANGES,

ACCELERATION, RIGHT? WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS, WE'VE NEVER

HEARD THIS BEFORE. WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THIS IS

SOMETHING SO AMAZING, GOD. YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE

PRINCIPALITIES, THE POWERS, THE DEMONIC, THE OCCULT REALM,

RIGHT? LUNACY, YOU'RE DEALING WITH CORRUPTION, GOD AT A LEVEL

WE'VE NEVER SEEN, AND GOD IS SAYING, "YES, BECAUSE I WANT YOU

TO MARVEL, "NOT JUST AT THOSE EVENTS." HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO

MARVEL AND WORSHIP PRESIDENT TRUMP. HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO

MARVEL AND GIVE SO MUCH CREDIT TO MEN THAT WE FORGET TO MARVEL

AT GOD. GOD WANTS TO BE HONORED. HE WANTS THAT TO BE PART OF THE

FOCUS. BUT LOOK AT THE NEW SEASON, ISAIAH 43, VERSE 19.

Isaiah 43:19

"BEHOLD, PAY ATTENTION, I WILL DO A NEW THING." SO WHAT IS GOD

SAYING TO US? HE'S DOING A WHAT? HE'S DOING A NEW THING. AND HE

SAYS, "NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH." AND THIS IS SO

IMPORTANT, WHETHER IT'S THE NATIONS, AS WE'RE SEEING THINGS

UNFOLD, THERE'S PEOPLE ARE LIKE, "WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA BE

IN YEARS AND YEARS "AND YEARS AND YEARS OF WAR." I DON'T THINK

SO. GOD HAS SAID, "NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH." THERE'S AN

ACCELERATION TAKING PLACE. AND THINK ABOUT THIS, NOT JUST THE

WARS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE EARTH, BUT THINK ABOUT SOME OF

THE WARS THAT YOU'VE BEEN IN. THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE

CONFLICTS AND THE BATTLES THAT YOU'VE BEEN IN. ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT THE LORD PROMISED BACK IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR,

WHEN WE WERE SEEKING HIM AND SAYING, "GOD, WHAT IS 2026

ABOUT?" AND HE SAID VERY SPECIFICALLY, "THERE WILL BE 2

SEAS THAT YOU'LL SEE." 2 WORDS THAT START WITH C. THE FIRST ONE

YOU MAY NOT LIKE, BUT GOD SAID IT IS CONFLICTS. YOU'RE GONNA

SEE CONFLICTS THIS YEAR. NOT JUST IN YOUR LIFE THERE'S BEEN

CONFLICTS, BUT IN THE EARTH THERE'S BEEN CONFLICTS. AND

THEY'VE HAD THE DEVIL'S HAND ON 'EM. BUT THE LORD SAID THE NEXT

C WORD THAT WOULD ARISE IN THIS NEW SEASON IS THE WORD CONQUEST.

FOR THE CONFLICTS THAT HAVE TRIED TO CHALLENGE YOUR LIFE,

AFFLICT YOUR LIFE, FRUSTRATE YOUR LIFE, OPPRESS YOUR LIFE, OR

EVEN THE NATIONS. COME ON, THINK ABOUT THE IRANIAN PEOPLE, HOW

THEY HAVE HAD THESE CONFLICTS. AND YET GOD PROMISED THAT OTHER

C WORD, CONQUEST. THOSE CONFLICTS ARE ARISING SO THAT

GOD CAN BRING THEM AND US TO VICTORY, CONQUEST. THAT'S PART

OF THE NEW SEASON. AND NOTICE WHAT IT SAYS IN ISAIAH 43:19.

Isaiah 43:19

IT'S NOT JUST THAT IT'S GONNA TAKE FOREVER. GOD IS WANTING US

TO GET THE MINDSET THAT IT IS SPRINGING FORTH NOW. SOME FOLKS,

THEY ACT IGNORANT WHEN IT COMES TO THE BLESSING OF GOD. AND IF

THEY DON'T ACT IGNORANT WHEN IT COMES TO THE BLESSING OF GOD,

THEY ACT FORGETFUL. ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THAT I REMEMBER IS

I HAD WRITTEN DOWN A PETITIONER'S REQUEST WITH BRENDA

YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST GOT MARRIED. I MEAN, WE WERE

BELIEVING GOD FOR MEETINGS, WE WERE BELIEVING GOD FOR FINANCES

JUST TO EAT. AND WE WROTE DOWN A PETITIONER'S REQUEST IS RIGHT

BEFORE WE CAME TO OMAHA TO PASTOR, OR REALLY, OR TO START

THIS CHURCH AS THE FOUNDING PASTORS. AND WE WROTE THIS LIST

DOWN, WE PUT IT IN ONE OF THE BOXES, AND WE MOVED TO OMAHA TO

START THIS CHURCH FROM SCRATCH. AND I REMEMBER UNPACKING THOSE

BOXES 'CAUSE WE WERE CLEANING ONE DAY, AND OUT CAME THIS

LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER, AND ON IT WAS ALL OF THESE PRAYER REQUESTS

THAT WE HAD ASKED GOD. AND I SHOVED IT IN A BOX AND MOVED

HERE, AND SEVERAL YEARS HAD PASSED. AND BOTH BRENDA AND I

LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND WE SAID, "OH MY GOODNESS, WE FORGOT

ABOUT THIS. "AND WE FORGOT TO GIVE GOD THANKS." AND WE LOOKED,

BRENDA, YOU REMEMBER, WE LOOKED AT THE LIST, AND EVERY SINGLE

ONE OF THEM WAS ANSWERED. SEE, WHEN IT COMES TO A NEW SEASON,

START HAVING EXPECTATION. START BEING IN A PLACE WHERE YOU'RE

LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, LORD, I'M NOT GONNA GET INTO UNBELIEF. I'M

NOT GONNA GET INTO UNGRATEFULNESS. AND YOU SAY,

WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE NEW SEASON MANIFEST. THAT'S WHERE

YOU SHIFT OVER INTO THANKSGIVING. YOU START SAYING,

I THANK YOU FOR THE NEW SEASON. AND THEN NAME WHAT IT IS IN THAT

NEW SEASON THAT YOU ARE BELIEVING GOD FOR, WHAT YOU'RE

EXPECTING, GOD, I THANK YOU. AND THEN WHEN IT HAPPENS, THEN YOU

REALLY GIVE HIM THANKS AND YOU HONOR HIM. NOW, HERE'S THE

THING, THIS IS HOW YOU'RE GONNA KNOW IT. IT'S GONNA BE SO

OBVIOUS. YOU'RE GONNA KNOW WITH THE NATIONS. YOU'RE GONNA KNOW

WITH VENEZUELA. YOU'RE GONNA KNOW WITH IRAN. YOU'RE GONNA

KNOW WITH CUBA. YOU'RE GONNA KNOW WITH AUSTRALIA. YOU'RE

GONNA KNOW WITH CANADA. YOU'RE GONNA KNOW WITH THE UNITED

STATES AND THE DIFFERENT NATIONS AND EVENTS THAT ARE GONNA PLAY

OUT. IT IS GONNA BE SO OBVIOUS THIS NEW SEASON THAT GOD IS

SHIFTING AND CHANGING AND ACCELERATE. IT'S LIKE YOU'RE NOT

GONNA HAVE TO SIT THERE AND GO, WELL, I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS

SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. NO, IT IS, AND IT'S GONNA BE SO OBVIOUS.

NOW, HERE'S THE KEY. LOOK AT VERSE 19 IN THE LATTER PART OF

THAT VERSE. THIS IS TO ENCOURAGE YOU. I WILL EVEN MAKE A WAY IN

THE WILDERNESS. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN IT'S DRY, HOW MANY EVER

BEEN IN A DRY SEASON? HOW MANY EVER BEEN IN A SEASON? THINK

ABOUT THE WILDERNESS, THE HEAT IS ON. YOU FEEL THE TRIAL, YOU

FEEL THE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE ON YOU, YOU KNOW THAT MAN,

THERE'S A PROMISED LAND, BUT YOU'RE IN TRANSITION. THAT'S

WHAT WILDERNESS SPEAKS OF, IS YOU DON'T HAVE THE MANIFESTATION

YET OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR. YOU'VE BEEN BELIEVING GOD

FOR A NEW SEASON WITH YOUR BUSINESS, BUT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE

NOT SEEING THE PROMISED LAND OF THE BUSINESS PROSPERING TO THE

LEVEL OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR. THE WILDERNESS

SPEAKS OF TRANSITION. IT SPEAKS THAT YOU'RE NOT AT POINT A AND

YOU'RE NOT AT POINT B, YOU'RE IN BETWEEN. NOW THIS IS VERY, VERY,

VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE IN TRANSITION, YOU

HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS AVAILABLE TO

YOU IN TRANSITION IF YOU WILL KEEP YOUR ATTITUDE RIGHT, IF YOU

WILL KEEP YOUR WORDS RIGHT. SO HOW MANY OF YOU ARE STILL

BELIEVING FOR SOMETHING IN A NEW SEASON, RAISE YOUR HAND. BETWEEN

YOU AND GOD, YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. YOU ARE IN THE PLACE NOW OF

THE WILDERNESS. YOU'RE IN A PLACE OF TRANSITION. IRAN IS IN

A PLACE OF TRANSITION. THEY'RE IN THE PLACE OF THE WILDERNESS,

LITERALLY, RIGHT? BUT THEY'RE IN THE PLACE OF TRANSITION. NOW,

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. ISRAEL'S JOURNEY ONLY SHOULD

HAVE TAKEN, SOME HISTORIANS, THEOLOGIANS SAY, JUST A FEW

DAYS. IT TOOK THEM 40 YEARS BECAUSE THEY KEPT WANDERING WITH

THEIR WORDS. THEY KEPT SAYING, "GOD, YOU AREN'T. "GOD, YOU

DIDN'T. "LORD, WHEN?" "AND THEY HAD A STINKING ATTITUDE, "AND IT

CAUSED THEM TO BE SO STIFF-NECKED AND REBELLIOUS."

WRONG WORDS, WRONG ATTITUDES WILL KEEP YOU IN TRANSITION.

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO KEEP YOU THERE. IT'S TO BRING YOU TO YOUR

PROMISED LAND. SO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY, WATCH YOUR ATTITUDE, WELL,

I SURE HOPE SO, OR BOY, I HATE THIS PLACE. BUT THERE'S

SOMETHING THAT IS AVAILABLE IN TRANSITION AND THE LORD IS

CHANGING MY MESSAGE AGAIN. GO TO LUKE CHAPTER 1. I GOTTA LOOK AT

Luke 1 · chapter mention

THIS REAL QUICK BECAUSE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU GOTTA HELP ME HERE

'CAUSE YOU PUT ME OUT HERE. I WAS STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT

GETTING MY WORDS OUT 'CAUSE I COULD FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS

TRYING TO REDIRECT ME AND I WASN'T YIELDING QUITE. SO I'M

GONNA YIELD HOLY SPIRIT. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT LUKE CHAPTER 1.

Luke 1 · chapter mention

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. OKAY, SO I WANNA HAVE YOU LOOK

HERE AT VERSE, LET'S JUST LOOK AT VERSE 67. SO HOW MANY

REMEMBER JOHN THE BAPTIST? THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. LUKE

Luke 1:67

1, VERSE 67. AND IT SAYS, NOW THIS IS JOHN THE BAPTIST. AND

HIS FATHER, ZACHARIAH, WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND

PROPHESIED, SAYING. SO NOW NOTICE SOMETHING THAT IS VERY,

VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT ZACHARIAH. OKAY, THIS IS THE FATHER OF JOHN

THE BAPTIST. IS THAT CORRECT, YES OR NO? OKAY, NOW, ACCORDING

TO TRADITION OR EXPECTANT, WHAT YOU WOULD DO IS YOU WOULD NAME

YOUR CHILD TO HAVE YOUR NAME OR TO HAVE A PART OF YOUR NAME.

YES, WHERE YOU SEE THE WORD BARJONAH, THE FATHER OF JONAH,

YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WHERE THEY WOULD SAY SIMON BARJONAH. WELL,

SIMON WAS HIS NAME, BUT HE WAS THE SON OF BARJONAH. SO

ACCORDING TO TRADITION, ZACHARIAH SHOULD HAVE HAD SOME

KIND OF SOMETHING IN THERE THAT WAS PART OF HIS NAME. BUT

REMEMBER AN ANGEL CAME DOWN AND TOUCHED THE MOUTH OF ZACHARIAH,

REMEMBER? AND SILENCED HIS WORDS, HE COULDN'T TALK. WHY DID

GOD SEND AN ANGEL RIGHT WHEN THE BABY IS BIRTHED AND IT'S TIME TO

GET A NAME? WHY DID, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, DID THE

ANGEL COME AND SILENCE THE MOUTH OF THE DAD? BECAUSE THE CHILD

THAT HE GAVE BIRTH TO, JOHN, WAS A CHILD BORN IN TRANSITION. WHAT

DO YOU MEAN? JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS NOT PART OF THE OLD COVENANT

AND HE WAS NOT PART OF THE NEW COVENANT. HE WAS THE FORERUNNER.

HE WAS TO DECREASE SO THAT JESUS COULD INCREASE. SO HE CAME

REPRESENTING THE WILDERNESS, THE PLACE OF TRANSITION, OKAY? THERE

WAS 400 YEARS OF SILENCE THROUGH THE PROPHETS. NOW A PROPHET

ARISES, A CHILD BORN IN TRANSITION, RIGHT? HE'S NOT THE

ONE THAT'S GONNA FULFILL THE NEW COVENANT. HE WASN'T PART OF THE

OLD COVENANT. HE WAS BORN IN TRANSITION TO PREPARE THE WAY

FOR THE ONE THAT WOULD BRING US AS CHRISTIANS INTO OUR PROMISED

LAND, OUR INHERITANCE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST'S BLOOD. SO

ZACHARIAH IS GETTING READY TO DO SOMETHING ACCORDING TO

TRADITION. HE'S GETTING READY TO NAME SOMETHING IN TRANSITION AND

HAVE THE WRONG WORDS. THE WRONG PERSPECTIVE AND PERHAPS THE

WRONG ATTITUDE. JUST LIKE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, GOD DID NOT

WANT THEM TO WANDER 40 YEARS, BUT THEY COULDN'T KEEP THEIR

HUSH. THEY COULDN'T KEEP THEIR ATTITUDE. THEY GOT OVER INTO

TRADITION. NOW JOHN'S BORN AND GOD NAMED HIM. YOUR CHILD SHALL

BE CALLED JOHN. WHY JOHN? WHY JOHN? WHY DID FROM HEAVEN DID

GOD SAY, "NO, ZECHARIAH, I'M GONNA HAVE YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

"YOU'RE IN TRANSITION. YOU REPRESENT TRANSITION." AND I'M

GONNA NAME THIS THAT'S AVAILABLE IN TRANSITION. LOOK AT LUKE

Luke 1:80

CHAPTER 1, VERSE 80. NOW WATCH THIS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

LUKE CHAPTER 1, VERSE 80, "AND THE CHILD GREW AND WAXED STRONG

Luke 1:80

IN SPIRIT AND WAS IN THE DESERTS UNTIL THE DAY OF HIS SHOWING

UNTO ISRAEL." SO THIS IS TALKING ABOUT JOHN THE BAPTIST. NOW, WHY

WAS HIS NAME JOHN? I'M TRYING TO LOOK FOR IT HERE IN LUKE 1 WHERE

IT NAMES HIM JOHN, BUT MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME. VERSE 60.

OKAY, YEAH, THANK YOU. OKAY, LOOK AT LUKE 1, VERSE 60. SO

Luke 1:60

NOTICE THE NAME. AND HIS MOTHER ANSWERED AND SAID, "NOT SO, BUT

HE SHALL BE CALLED." OKAY, WELL, GO TO VERSE 59, 'CAUSE THIS

PROVES MY POINT. AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE 8TH DAY, THEY CAME

TO CIRCUMCISE, 8 IS THE NUMBER OF RESURRECTION, 8 IS THE NUMBER

OF NEW BEGINNINGS, AND THEY CAME TO CIRCUMCISE A CHILD AND THEY

CALLED HIM ZECHARIAH AFTER THE NAME OF HIS FATHER, RIGHT? NOW,

NOTICE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ACCORDING TO TRADITION. AND HIS

MOTHER ANSWERED, SAID, "NO, THAT'S NOT CORRECT. "NO, THIS

CHILD IS BORN IN TRANSITION. "HE SHALL BE CALLED JOHN." WHY JOHN?

ALL RIGHT, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, GO BACK UP TO ISAIAH

Isaiah 43:19

43, VERSE 19. LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS. YOU'RE IN A NEW SEASON. IT

SAYS IN VERSE 19, "BEHOLD, THE FORMER THINGS HAVE COME TO PASS.

"I'LL DO A NEW THING, AND IT SHALL SPRING FORTH." YOU'RE

GONNA KNOW IT. AND I'LL EVEN MAKE A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS.

OKAY, WHAT IS THE WAY THAT IS AVAILABLE TO GET YOU THROUGH

UNTIL YOUR NEW SEASON DESIRE OR SEASON MANIFESTS? IT'S WHAT I'M

SHOWING YOU IN THE WILDERNESS WITH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND

THIS CHILD, JOHN, THAT REPRESENTS THE WILDERNESS

TRANSITION. I'LL MAKE A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS AND I'LL MAKE

RIVERS IN THE DESERT. IN OTHER WORDS, I'LL SUPPLY, I'LL DO

SOMETHING THAT IS SO, MATTHEW 9:33, THERE'S GONNA BE RIVERS IN

Matthew 9:33

THE DESERT. I'VE NEVER SO SEEN THAT BEFORE. OH, REALLY? LOOK AT

LUKE 1, VERSE 60. HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED JOHN. YOU KNOW WHAT

Luke 1:60

THE NAME JOHN MEANS? GRACE. GRACE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE.

WHETHER YOU'RE IRAN, ABOUT TO BE WITH CUBA, VENEZUELA, THERE IS

GRACE TO CARRY YOU INTO YOUR NEW SEASON. BUT THE REASON WHY SOME

PEOPLE DON'T EVER EXPERIENCE GRACE, BECAUSE THEY GET THEIR

MOUTH WRONG AND START CALLING IT ZACHARIAH. THEY CALL IT THE

WRONG THING. THEY IDENTIFY IT AS THE WRONG THING. GOD'S PUNISHING

YOU. HOW COME EVERYBODY ELSE GETS BLESSED BUT I DON'T? HOW

COME THERE'S THIS FIGHT? HOW COME THERE'S THIS STRUGGLE? I

REMEMBER BEFORE I CAME INTO THIS WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE, OH, THE

ONIONS I USED TO EAT AND THE GARLICS. NO, YOU WERE IN

BONDAGE. HOW QUICKLY YOU FORGOT. IT WASN'T THAT GREAT. THAT

BOYFRIEND WASN'T THAT GREAT. THAT GIRLFRIEND WASN'T THAT

GREAT. THAT OTHER HOUSE WASN'T THAT GREAT. THAT SEASON WAS NOT

THAT GREAT. YOU'RE ONLY DOING THAT BECAUSE YOU AIN'T HAPPY

WITH WHERE YOU'RE AT. BUT WHAT YOU DON'T WANNA DO IS PROLONG IT

BECAUSE YOU GOT A STINKING THINKING. YOU GOT A BAD

ATTITUDE. YOU KEEP WANDERING AROUND WITH YOUR WORDS AND YOUR

ATTITUDE. AND GOD'S SITTING HERE GOING, YOU'RE LOOKING UP AT

HEAVEN GOING, HOW MUCH LONGER, HOW COME IT'S NOT HAPPENING? AND

GOD'S GOING, HELLO, THERE'S GRACE IF YOU'LL RECEIVE IT AND

SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND START SPEAKING YOUR NEW SEASON. AND,

WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. LOOK AT ISAIAH 42, I'M GONNA SHOW IT

TO YOU. LOOK AT ISAIAH 42, VERSE NINE. GOD GIVES US A SPECIFIC

INSTRUCTION WHEN IT COMES TO A NEW SEASON. THIS IS WHY ALATOLA

HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT IN 40 AND ALL THE OTHER ONES. BECAUSE IT

SAYS, "BEHOLD, THE FORMER THINGS "ARE COME TO PASS, NEW THINGS I

DECLARE. "BEFORE THEY SPRING, I TELL YOU OF THEM." SO NOW,

WHAT'S THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS, "REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS

OF OLD." WHERE'S THAT? REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS OF OLD. IS

THAT ISAIAH 43? VERSE 18, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. GO BACK TO

ISAIAH 43. SO LOOK AT THE INSTRUCTION IN ISAIAH 43. I JUST

SHOWED YOU THAT FORMER THINGS HAVE COME TO PASS. IN OTHER

WORDS, GOD'S SAYING, "HEY, YOU'RE NOT IN EGYPT ANYMORE.

"YOU'RE NOT IN AN OLD SEASON ANYMORE. "YOU'RE NOT IN AN

OPPRESSED IRAN ANYMORE." RIGHT? REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS.

THAT'S THE KEY FOR HOW LONG YOU'RE GONNA BE IN THE

WILDERNESS. ISRAEL COULD NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR

OPPRESSION. REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS, ALL RIGHT? SO

WHEN I WAS PRAYING ABOUT THIS THIS WEEK, IT MEANS YOU'RE

SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE IT NEVER EVEN EXISTED. IT NEVER EVEN

HAPPENED. IT DOESN'T EVEN CROSS YOUR RE-COLLECTOR OF YOUR

RE-COLLECTOR. THERE'S AN OLD CARTOON, REMEMBER, I'LL

RECOLLECT. WELL, NO, YOU CAN'T RECOLLECT. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED

TO RECOLLECT. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT YOUR

ACHY, BREAKY HEART. OH, THAT DID NOT GO OVER WELL. I MEAN,

THERE'S BOMBS IN IRAN, AND I JUST SHOT ONE RIGHT THERE OVER

THIS MESSAGE. YOU CAN'T BE REHEARSING YOUR ACHY, BREAKY

HEART. YOU CAN'T BE REHEARSING WHAT DIDN'T WORK OUT IN THE PAIN

THAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING. AND NOBODY UNDERSTANDS YOU, NOBODY

IDENTIFIES WITH YOU. OH, IT SAYS REMEMBER IT NOT. WHY ARE YOU

REMEMBERING IT? IN OTHER WORDS, YOU NEED TO BE AT THE PLACE THAT

YOU ARE SO EXPECTING THROUGH THE GRACE OF THE TRANSITION YOU'RE

IN THAT YOUR SEASON IS SO GREAT. I CAN'T REMEMBER. WELL, YOU'RE

JUST IN DENIAL. NO, I'D RATHER BE IN DENIAL THAN IN THE NILE

WHERE YOU'RE IN THE DESERT OF TRANSITION. OH, THAT'LL PREACH.

I'D RATHER BE IN DENIAL THAN THE NILE OF THE DESERT OF TRANSITION

AND PROLONGING MY PROMISED LAND. CAPTAIN, YOU NEED TO SALUTE ME

ON THAT ONE AND BUY ME 3 SCOOPS OF GELATO THIS WEEK.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

THAT WAS, IF I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING

GOOD, THAT WAS KIND OF COOL.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM. ALL RIGHT. MY WIFE THINKS

I'M GREAT. OH BABY, THAT'LL COST YOU 3 KISSES LATER. REMEMBER YE

NOT THE FORMER THINGS. QUIT REHEARSING IT, TALKING ABOUT,

'CAUSE YOU'RE MESSING WITH YOUR GRACE. YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE

JOHN, THE GRACE. REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER THINGS. NEITHER

CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD. DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT. QUIT

MAKING COMPARISONS OF THE CHURCH THAT YOU USED TO GO TO AND IT

HURT YOU, AND THE PASTOR THAT WAS AN IDIOT, AND EVERYBODY ELSE

BUT US. NOW, I DON'T TRUST ANYONE. I AIN'T, YOU KNOW, I SAW

NEW MEMBERS, BUT I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE, AND I CAN'T BE

AN E-MEMBER, AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT GONNA GO UP FRONT

AND BE A MEMBER AND EVERYBODY SEES IT. I GOT TO GET

THROUGH THIS SEASON. AND YOU INTERVIEW THEM,

PASTOR DOUG, HOW MANY CHURCHES YOU BEEN IN?

I DON'T KNOW, 20? LIKE CREDIT CARDS WITH ALL THE NAMES. OR,

IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TRUST ANOTHER

PASTOR AGAIN. AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT A PODCASTER IDENTIFIED YOUR

PASTOR AS A POTENTIAL FALSE PERSON. SO WHO GIVES THE

PODCASTER AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE IF THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH IS

BASED ON WHAT? REMEMBER, JESUS SAID, YOU'LL KNOW SOMETHING IF

IT'S TRUE OR FALSE BY ITS FRUIT. NOT JUST THE PODCAST THAT

SUDDENLY CAME AVAILABLE BECAUSE NOW SOCIAL MEDIA HAS GONE

SQUIRRELY. YET THAT PERSON THEY CALL OUT HAS 40 YEARS OF

MINISTRY. AND YOU CAN, IF YOU JUDGE SOMETHING BY ITS FRUIT,

YOU GOTTA TRACE THE ROOT. WHY DON'T YOU TRACE THE ROOT OF

THE PODCASTER? WHY DON'T YOU TRACE THE ROOT OF, AND THE

FRUIT OF WHAT THEY'RE SAYING? JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY

SAID THAT SOMEBODY'S A FALSE THIS AND THAT, IT MUST BE

RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT ONE MILLION VIEWS ON IT.

OH, ARCHIE, IT'S GOT ONE MILLION VIEWS.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, THERE'S SOMETHING TO READ IN THESE DAYS

OF THESE, YOU KNOW, PODCASTER KIND OF GUYS, YOU CAN'T ALWAYS

TRUST THEM THERE, HUH? OH, BUT ARCHIE, NOT JUST THAT

PODCASTER, BUT THERE WAS LIKE 2 OTHERS.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

EDITH, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, YOU DINGBAT?

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE SOME OF YOU NEED TO JUST TAKE A CHILL.

REMEMBER NOT, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I'M PREACHING.

REMEMBER, I DON'T. WHEN THE LORD DOES THIS TO US, I'M LIKE, OKAY,

NOW WHAT WAS IT I WAS SAYING? DOUG, YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBER.

HE'S UP THERE GOING, HA HA HA HA HA, 'CAUSE HE'S SUPPOSED TO.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK SUPPORTIVE. HE'S SUPPOSED TO

LOOK. ALL RIGHT, CAPTAIN, I'M GONNA CALL YOU OUT FOR THE THIRD

TIME TODAY. SO HE'S HERE AT FLASHPOINT ON TUESDAY, AND HE

GOES, "PASTOR HANK, I'VE BEEN OBSERVING YOU." 'CAUSE YOU KNOW,

HE'S A CAPTAIN, HE HAS TO OBSERVE BEHAVIOR OF PEOPLE,

RIGHT? RIGHT? SHOW A PICTURE OF CAPTAIN. SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO,

HE'S SUPPOSED TO, HE OBSERVES PEOPLE. HE CAN TELL A LOT

ABOUT PEOPLE, RIGHT? SO YOU KNOW WHAT HE TOLD ME? HE

GOES, "I'VE BEEN OBSERVING YOU." I SAID, "OKAY, WELL,

WHAT'D YOU OBSERVE PROFESSIONALLY?" AND WHAT

HE SAID, I WAS LIKE, "YOU WANNA TUSSLE?"

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

DO YOU WANNA SAY WHAT YOU SAID? NO, HE DOESN'T. HUH? SURE, GIVE

HIM A MICROPHONE, HERE. SO, HERE, I'LL, I'LL, I, I, I, I, I,

I, CAPTAIN, I MAY GET YOU IN A HEADLOCK. IS THIS ON? HERE, COME

OVER HERE. THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING. I DON'T KNOW THAT I

BELIEVE IT, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS, IS THAT ON? IS THAT ON? I

THINK YOU GOTTA HIT THE BUTTON. TRY THE BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM.

HERE, IS IT ON? GIVE ME A THUMBS UP. NOPE. I DON'T KNOW WHICH

DIRECTION. THERE WE GO. OKAY, SO COME ON OVER HERE AND LET THE

WORLD HEAR WHAT YOU ACCUSED ME OF. SO DO TELL. SO AS MUCH AS I

LOVE THE PASTOR, WHEN I WAIT, NOW YOU'RE GIVING APOLOGETICS.

NO, NO. YOU'RE PRE CAPTAIN, YOU'RE PRE THAT'S CALLED THE

SANDWICH. YOU'RE PREQUALIFYING WHAT YOU SAY. IT IS. RIGHT

BEFORE IT COMES OUT, THE PART PART THAT I GOT TO GET TO SOFTEN

IT UP, THOUGH. IT SOFTENS THE BLOW. SO I SOFTENED THE BLOW

HERE. WHEN I TALKED TO THE PASTOR, I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW,

PASTOR, HE TENDS TO TELL STORIES WHEN WE'RE TALKING IN THE BACK

ROOM TOGETHER, SOME OF THE STORIES WE CAN'T SHARE. LET ME

GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. SO RATHER THAN SOMEBODY YOU'RE NOT MOVING

MY POINT RIGHT NOW. NO, I'M GONNA TELL YOU THE POINT. SO

RATHER THAN GIVE YOU THE LONG VERSION OF WHAT KIND OF CLOCK IT

IS, WHAT THE MAKE AND ALL THIS STUFF, AND HOW I GOT THE CLOCK,

YOU JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. SO WHAT THE PASTOR TELLS THE

STORY IS, I'M LIKE, "PASTOR, I DON'T NEED YOU "TO BUILD THE

CLOCK FOR ME, "I JUST NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TIME IT IS."

JUST TELL ME THE TIME. OKAY, SO DO TELL. AND THEN THE OTHER

STORY IS, THE STORY IS THAT HE'S OVER HERE IN THIS STORY, AND

SOMEHOW, WHETHER IT TALKS ABOUT A SNOWFLAKE OR SOMETHING, THEN

ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE DESCRIBES THE SNOWFLAKE OVER HERE, WHICH

BOUNCES TO THE WEATHER OVER HERE, WHICH IS THE CAR HE WAS

DRIVING ON THAT DAY. MY ASSISTANT OF 28 YEARS, AMY, QUIT

RAISING YOUR HAND. STOP, SHE'S STANDING UP. AMY, DO SIT DOWN

NEXT TO YOUR HUSBAND, PLEASE. PASTOR, WHAT ARE WE TALKING

ABOUT? TALKING ABOUT THE SNOWFLAKE? HOW DID WE END UP ON

CAR TIRES? I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE GOT OVER HERE. SO I SAID, "I

LOVE YOU, BUT YOU HAVE ADHD ALL OVER THE BOARD."

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

NO, NO, WAIT, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE STAGE UNTIL YOU

FOLLOW UP WITH WHAT YOU SAID THAT THAT IS A GOOD THING. IT IS

A GREAT THING. I DID SAY THAT. I SAID IT WAS A SUPERPOWER. IT IS

A SUPERPOWER THAT HE HAS TO GO TO ALL OF THESE STORIES. AND IT

ALSO MAKES US, WE HAVE TO BE SO ENAMORED AND CAPTURED BY THE

STORIES THAT YOU TELL TO GO. YOU SAID IT WAS BRILLIANT. IT IS

ABSOLUTELY, IT'S THE MEME WITH ALL THOSE THINGS UP THERE THAT

I'M THINKING. OKAY, WE'LL TALK LATER SOME MORE AND I'LL SHARE

ALL MY STORIES. BRENDA'S BEEN MARRIED 37 YEARS, IS THAT TRUE?

ALL RIGHT, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I JUST SAID

BEFORE ALL OF THAT, SO DO YOU ALL REMEMBER?

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

HUH? OH, WHAT YOU NEED TO DO SOMETIMES IS GO BACK TO THE

FRUIT AND THE ROOT, RATHER THAN SOMEBODY THAT HAS AN OPINION

ABOUT SOMETHING THAT JUST APPEARED FOR A FEW DAYS, RIGHT?

AND LISTEN, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT'LL CALL OUT CERTAIN PEOPLE,

OH, YOU GOTTA WATCH THEM, THEY'RE FALSE, BUT THEN THAT

PERSON DOESN'T EVEN BELIEVE IN THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

AND SPEAKING IN TONGUES, AND SO IT'S NO WONDER THEY THINK THAT.

ANYWAY, I DON'T EVEN WANNA GET OFF ON THAT, I DON'T HAVE TIME

FOR ALL THAT, BUT ALL RIGHT. SO I WANT YOU TO LOOK HERE, 'CAUSE

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE. I WANT YOU TO LOOK FOR A MOMENT

AT EZEKIEL 12, BECAUSE IF WE'RE IN THIS NEW SEASON, AND WE'RE IN

THIS SEASON WHERE GOD WANTS TO DO, PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START

GOING THIS WAY, 'CAUSE I THINK I BETTER START WRAPPING IT UP. ARE

YOU LEARNING SOMETHING? BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY FROM THIS

MESSAGE IS LOOK, THERE'S GRACE, THERE'S GRACE. YOU KNOW,

SOMEBODY SAID, YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU JUST GET EXCITED

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOUR PROPHECIES ARE COMING TO PASS

AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING MURDERED AND KILLED WITH BOMBS. REALLY?

YOU REALLY THINK THAT A VESSEL WHO WANTS TO HONOR GOD, WHOEVER

THEY ARE, GETS THEIR JOLLIES ON THAT? CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING ALL

THE DIFFERENT PROPHETS, ESPECIALLY ISAIAH, THAT HAD TO

PROPHESY THAT JESUS WOULD BE BEATEN, BLOODIED, BEYOND HUMAN

RECOGNITION, TO THE POINT OF PEOPLE VOMITING, NOT EVEN BEING

ABLE TO LOOK ON HIS FACE, THEY HID THEIR FACE. CAN YOU IMAGINE

HAVING TO HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO PROPHESY GOD'S

REDEMPTIVE PLAN AND TO PROPHESY WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN. AND YET

IT WAS THE MOST HEINOUS TREATMENT OF ANY HUMAN BEING

EVER ON THIS PLANET. SO SOMETIMES GOD WILL REQUIRE A

SERVANT TO SPEAK PROPHETICALLY ABOUT SOMETHING THAT SOMETIMES

IS NOT EASY, AND SOMETIMES THERE IS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE THINGS

THAT HAPPEN TO GET THE FINAL OUTCOME OF WHATEVER THAT

REDEMPTIVE PLAN IS. SO LOOK AT EZEKIEL CHAPTER 12. I WANT YOU

Ezekiel 12 · chapter mention

TO LOOK AT VERSE 21 THROUGH 25. DO YOU LIKE TO HAVE FUN IN

CHURCH? IS THAT FUN TO HAVE FUN? I'M JUST GLAD YOU LAUGHED AND

ALL OF THAT, IT'S GOOD. THANK YOU FOR 4 PEOPLE OVER HERE. MY

SUPPORT SECTION, THANK YOU FOR THE CLAP OVER THERE. EVERYBODY

ELSE IS LOOKING AT THEIR CLOCK. ALL RIGHT, LOOK, VERSE 21. "AND

THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING," NOW THIS IS VERY

IMPORTANT, "SON OF MAN, "WHAT IS THESE SAYINGS IN THE

WILDERNESS?" WHAT ARE THESE SAYINGS IN THE EARTH THAT YOU

HAVE IN YOUR LIFE? OKAY, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING OVER YOUR SEASON?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING OVER THE NATIONS? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING

OVER PRESIDENT TRUMP? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING OVER THE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA? WHAT IS YOUR PROVERB? WHAT IS YOUR SAYING?

AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT LINES UP WITH GOD. YOU HAVE TO

MAKE SURE THAT IT LINES UP WITH GOD'S PERSPECTIVE. AND YOU HAVE

TO MAKE SURE THAT IT ISN'T FILLED WITH THE WRONG WORDS THAT

ENABLE THE ENEMY. GOD MOVES BY WORDS, BUT SO DOES THE DEVIL.

THAT'S WHY HE WAS TRYING TO GET JESUS TO SPEAK OUT OF HIS MOUTH

DURING HIS TEMPTATION. BECAUSE HE WANTED TO ACTIVATE CERTAIN

THINGS IN THE NATURAL REALM. NOW WATCH. SON OF MAN, WHAT IS THIS

PROVERB THAT YOU HAVE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL SAYING THAT DAYS

ARE PROLONGED AND THAT EVERY NEW SEASON, OH, IT'S PROLONGED. IT

IS TAKING FOREVER. HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT WAY BEFORE? LISTEN,

BEFORE WE BUILT THIS BEAUTIFUL TABERNACLE TOGETHER FOR GOD AND

WITH GOD, THERE WAS TIMES WHERE I WAS GUILTY OF THIS. I WOULD

SIT THERE AND LOOK AND SAY, "GOD, HOW COME I HAVE THE

UGLIEST CHURCH? HOW COME I KEEP SEEING THAT THOSE 2 BUILDINGS

THAT WE HAD HERE, REMEMBER THE THRIFT STORE AND THE PET WORLD?

GOD, WHY DO I KEEP SEEING IT BEING TORN DOWN? WELL, BECAUSE

GOD WAS SHOWING ME THIS IS WHERE THIS TABERNACLE IS. BUT I DIDN'T

UNDERSTAND IT. AND BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND MY PROMISED

LAND, AND I KEPT COMPLAINING, AND GETTING THE WRONG

PERSPECTIVE IN MY WILDERNESS, I WONDER IF I PROLONGED SOME OF

WHAT GOD HAD FOR ME IN THIS CHURCH. I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST

SAYING. I COULDN'T SEE IT. I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS SO

PROLONGED. I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. AND THEN I WOULD,

I DON'T KNOW, YOU GUYS WOULD GET EXCITED ABOUT GUEST SPEAKERS. I

WOULDN'T, I'D BE LIKE, "PLEASE GOD, DON'T HAVE THEM CALL ME

OUT. "I DON'T WANT ANOTHER WORD. "THE LORD'S FORGOTTEN YOU. "THE

LORD IS IGNORING YOU. "AND IT'S ALL GONNA TURN OUT GOOD." CHRIS,

DO YOU ALL REMEMBER THOSE WORDS? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THIS AND THAT.

HOW MANY WERE HERE AND WE'RE LOOKING AT CHAIRS THAT ARE BENT,

SOME OF THE KIDS PUTTING GUM UNDERNEATH IT. WE'RE LOOKING AT

AN OLD CHURCH THAT, YOU KNOW, IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT. IT DID NOT

LOOK LIKE ANYTHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN. AND I'M SITTING HERE

GOING, WOW, HOW EASY IT IS WHEN WE DON'T DISCERN THE NEW. WE

DON'T DISCERN THE TRANSITION AND GOD'S TRYING TO MAKE A WAY. WE

JUST THINK HE FORGOT US. WE JUST THINK HE DELAYED. THAT'S WHY I

DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE RHETORIC OF, OH NO, WE GOT, YOU

KNOW, THIS WARMONGER HAS JUST TOOK THE NATION IN ANOTHER WAR.

THAT'S THE WAR TO END ALL WARS. AND I WAS EXPECTING AT LEAST 10

MORE YEARS BEFORE JESUS CAME. YOU'RE GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE

PROVERB. AND EVERY VISION FAILS. LOOK AT VERSE 23, HERE'S WHY.

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH IN YOUR SEASON. TELL THEM

THEREFORE, SO NOW GOD SENDS A PROPHET, THUS SAYETH THE LORD

GOD. I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS PROVERB, THESE SAYINGS TO CEASE.

HOW? MATTHEW 9:33, I'M GONNA CAST THE DEVIL OUT. PUT UP

Matthew 9:33

MATTHEW 9:33, WE'LL GO BACK TO THIS REAL QUICK. MATTHEW 9:33,

Matthew 9:33 Matthew 9:33

I'M GONNA CAST THE DEVIL OUT, YOU'RE GONNA MARVEL, AND THEN

YOU'RE GONNA SAY, WE HAVE NEVER SO SEEN THIS IN ALL OF OUR

LIVES. THAT'S HOW GOD WILL MAKE THE SAYING CEASE. NOW, ONE OF

THE WAYS THAT GOD WILL MAKE THE SAYING CEASE IS YOU GOTTA COME

INTO AGREEMENT WITH IT. YOU GOTTA STOP CURSING AMERICA. YOU

GOTTA STOP THROWING YOUR HANDS UP AND THINKING THAT THE

LIBERALS AND THE RHINOS ARE GONNA HAVE THEIR WAY IN OUR

COUNTRY. YOU GOTTA STOP SAYING OVER YOUR OWN LIFE AND YOUR OWN

SEASON, PROLONGING IT. SO GOD WILL SAY NOW, THIS NEEDS TO

STOP, ALL RIGHT? WELL, IF IT'S GONNA STOP, DO ABOUT FACE.

CHANGE YOUR WORDS, CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE. GO BACK TO EZEKIEL 12.

I WANT YOU TO, WE'LL STAND WITH THIS. GO AHEAD AND DO THAT, THEN

I'LL BE DONE. EZEKIEL 12, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS PROVERB TO

CEASE, AND THERE'LL BE NO MORE THAT YOU'RE GONNA USE IT AS A

SAYING IN THE NATION, IN YOUR LIFE, RIGHT? YOUR FAMILY, YOUR

COMMUNITY, RIGHT? HOW ABOUT THIS? IN THE SECRETS OF YOUR

HEART. YOU DON'T BELIEVE ANYMORE IN THE SECRETS OF YOUR HEART. I

HAD A FEW OF THOSE BEFORE. I WOULD BE LIKE, GOD, I KNOW YOU

KNOW MY HEART. COME ON. YOU EVER BEEN THERE BEFORE? ONE TIME I

GOT UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING AND I HAD TOLD THE

FATHER AHEAD OF TIME, I THINK I MIGHT'VE SHARED THIS STORY, SO

I'LL MAKE IT QUICK. BUT I TOLD THE FATHER, I SAID, FATHER,

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I'M REALLY PRAYING ABOUT. AND I WANT

TO MEET YOU WITH JESUS IN THE COURT OF HEAVEN. AND I'M GONNA

COME DOWN ABOUT 2 IN THE MORNING TO 2.30. I'LL COME DOWN

SOMEWHERE IN THERE. AND I WANNA HAVE A CONVERSATION. AND FATHER,

WHEN I COME, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT HAPPY.

I WILL NOT BRING AN INDICTMENT AGAINST THE HOLINESS AND THE

HONOR OF YOU AND YOUR NAME AND YOUR CHARACTER AND YOUR WORD.

BUT I WANT TO GET SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILDING IN MY

SOUL BECAUSE LORD, IT'S DANGEROUS. IF IT CONTINUES IN MY

SOUL, THEN I WILL BEGIN TO SAY WRONG THINGS. I'LL BEGIN TO

THINK WRONG THINGS. I'LL BEGIN TO HAVE THE WRONG ATTITUDE. AND

GOD, FORGIVE ME IF I WOULD EVER LAY BLAME TO YOU, THE HONORABLE

GOD, WHO IS ALWAYS GOOD AND HAVE BEEN GOOD TO ME. BUT I WANT A

CONVERSATION. AND SO, FATHER, I'M INVITING YOU TO JOIN ME. I

WILL JOIN YOU IN THE COURT OF HEAVEN. AND I INVITE YOU, JESUS,

2 TO 2:30 IN THE MORNING. AND I WANT YOU, JESUS, THERE AS MY

ATTORNEY. THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID, YOU'RE MY ATTORNEY, YOU'RE MY

ADVOCATE, AND WE'VE GOTTA TALK. I HAVE PRESENTED THINGS TO THE

FATHER, JESUS, THAT I'M STARTING TO BE CONVINCED BY THE ENEMY

THAT EITHER I DID SOMETHING WRONG, OR I DIDN'T PRAY RIGHT,

OR THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO NOT COME TO

PASS, AND THE ENEMY WANTS ME TO BLAME YOU. SO JESUS, I NEED TO

MEET YOU WITH MY FATHER, AND I NEED TO BRING THIS BEFORE THE

COURT. AND I DID, I WENT OUTSIDE, LOOKED UP AT THE STARS,

AND FIRST THING I DID IS I WORSHIPED HIM 'CAUSE I WANTED TO

KNOW MY SPIRIT WAS RIGHT, THAT I LOVE HIM, BUT I WAS ABOUT TO

HAVE SOME WORDS, NOT BLAMING HIM, BUT I WAS GONNA LET HIM

KNOW HOW I FELT, AND I NEEDED A REPRESENTATIVE. AND I WORSHIPED

HIM AND I HONORED HIM AND I REMINDED HIM HOW BEAUTIFUL THE

STARS WERE, AND I SAID, "GOD, IF YOU MADE THOSE THINGS, "NOTHING

IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR YOU." AND WHAT I'M ABOUT TO BRING TO MY

ATTORNEY, AND BRING BEFORE YOUR THRONE. AND I BEGAN TO TELL HIM,

I SAID, "THIS IS WHAT I'VE PRAYED FOR. "I'VE PETITIONED

YOU, I'VE FASTED, I CRIED OUT TO YOU, GOD." AND I SAID, "JESUS,

NOW, YOUR BLOOD, "I'M ASKING YOU TO TURN AS WELL, FATHER, AND

LOOK, THERE'S BLOOD, IT'S ON THE MERCY SEAT." I HAVE A LEGAL

RIGHT. AND JESUS, YOU HAVE TO REPRESENT MY PETITION BEFORE THE

FATHER BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD. SEE, THIS IS WHERE, WHEN IT

COMES TO, I'LL MAKE THIS PROVERB TO CEASE. ONE OF THE THINGS, YOU

GOTTA COOPERATE WITH IT. GO BACK TO EZEKIEL 12:23, I'M ALMOST

Ezekiel 12:23

DONE. YOU GOTTA COOPERATE WITH IT. YOU GOTTA BE ABLE TO KNOW

YOUR RIGHTS. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. AND I START, I'M TELLING YOU,

I'M WATCHING GOD ANSWERING THINGS THAT IS MAKING ME MARVEL.

THINGS ARE BEING FULFILLED BECAUSE I KEPT MY HEART RIGHT

BEFORE GOD. I DID IT THE LEGAL WAY, ACCORDING TO THE BLOOD

COVENANT. I DIDN'T BALL GOD OUT, BUT YET I LET HIM KNOW THAT I

WASN'T HAPPY, BUT YET I DIDN'T GET OVER THERE IN MY EMOTIONS, I

DIDN'T GET OVER THERE INTO ANGER. I GOT OVER INTO COVENANT,

AND I GOT OVER INTO REMINDING GOD OF WHAT I PRAYED THAT I HAD

THE LEGAL RIGHT FOR IT TO BE ANSWERED. THAT'S HOW YOU GET

THINGS DONE. AND HE SAID, I'LL CAUSE THIS PROVERB TO CEASE, AND

I'M NOT GONNA USE IT ANYMORE AS A SAYING IN YOUR LIFE OVER THE

NATIONS, RIGHT? THAT THE MIDDLE EAST WILL ALWAYS BE ISLAMIC. THE

DAYS ARE AT HAND. GOD SAYS THE DAYS ARE AT HAND. WHOSE REPORT

ARE YOU GONNA BELIEVE? THE DAYS ARE AT HAND. AND THE EFFECT OF

EVERY VISION. I WAS GOING THROUGH FILES YESTERDAY, AND I

PULLED OUT, WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT THING? VANILLA, MANILA,

MANILA, MANILA, MANILA, MANILA, A MANILA FOLDER. AND IT HAD

PROPHECIES OVER MY LIFE THAT I HAD TUCKED IN THERE. AND THERE

WAS ONE BY A PROPHETIC LADY WHO'S IN HEAVEN. AND SHE STARTED

PROPHESYING IN THE THING, AND SHE SAID, AND I LOOKED AT IT,

AND I SAID, "WHOA, GOD, THIS WAS 2006. WHEN SHE GAVE THIS WORD, I

DIDN'T BELIEVE IT." AND I WENT, AND I HAD TO WIPE THE TEARS

AWAY, AND I LOOKED, AND SHE PROPHESIED TV, SHE PROPHESIED

WE'D HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH. AND I SAID, GOD, WHY DID I

FORGET ABOUT THIS? YOU KNOW WHY I FORGET ABOUT IT? WHY I FORGOT

ABOUT IT? 'CAUSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT. COME ON, HOLD ON.

HOLD ON TO WHAT HAS BEEN PROMISED. FOR OUR NATION, FOR

YOUR LIFE, YOUR MARRIAGE, YOUR FAMILY, COME ON. I'M ALMOST

DONE, 24 AND THEN 25, AND THEN WE'RE OUT OF HERE. FOR THERE

SHALL BE NO MORE VAIN VISION. NOW, PASTOR MATT SAID THAT.

BRENDA, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AGAIN LAST WEEK, VAIN VISION?

FLATTERING PROPHECIES. OKAY, NO MORE FLATTERING PROPHECIES,

OKAY? NO FLATTERING DIVINATION. SO NOW HERE'S WHERE YOU HAVE TO

BE WISE. IF YOU SPEAK WRONG, TALK WRONG, ACT WRONG, THINK

WRONG, BELIEVE WRONG, YOU ACTUALLY OPEN YOURSELF UP TO THE

FALSE. YOU START BELIEVING THE FALSE. THERE WAS A TIME IN MY

LIFE OF PASTORING THAT I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I'D EVER HAVE WHAT

WE HAVE TODAY. I HAD KIND OF GIVEN UP ON IT. I WAS CONVINCED

BY THE ENEMY THAT THEY WERE JUST VAIN PROPHECIES. THEY WERE JUST

TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD. YOU EVER HAD THAT BEFORE? OH GOD,

YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD. NO, HE'S TRYING TO

BLESS YOU. NO MORE VAIN VISIONS, NO MORE FLATTERING DIVINATION.

IN OTHER WORDS, WITCHCRAFT GETS INVOLVED. NOW THE DEVIL'S

RUNNING THE SHOW. LAST VERSE, WE'RE GONNA PRAY. FOR I'M THE

LORD, AND WHAT I SPEAK ABOUT A NEW SEASON. WHAT I SPEAK ABOUT

IRAN, WHAT I SPEAK ABOUT ONE IN PRISON IN COLORADO. ANGELS GO

NOW AND FREE THEM. NOW! NOW. NOW. NOW. FOR WHAT I SPEAK SHALL

COME TO PASS, AND IT WILL NO MORE BE PROLONGED, NOT IN YOUR

DAYS. OH MY GOD, NEVER SAY THIS, O REBELLIOUS PERSON, REBELLIOUS

NATION. WHAT I SAID IN MY WORD AND WITH MY WORDS, I WILL

PERFORM IT, SAITH THE LIVING GOD. FATHER, WE PRAY NOW FOR

EVERY PERSON IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE. LORD, I TRIED TO GET THIS

WORD OUT TODAY. I PRAY I DIDN'T STRUGGLE TOO MUCH, BUT I PRAY

THAT THEY HEARD IT, RECEIVE IT, UNDERSTOOD IT. WE'RE IN A NEW

SEASON. WE RECEIVE GRACE IN THE TIME AND THE MOMENTS OF OUR

TRANSITION HERE. AND TO YOU BE THE GLORY AND THE HONOR. WE

EMBRACE THE NEW. AND LORD, WE THANK YOU THAT IT IS AND SHALL

COME TO PASS. WE COMMAND A CROP FAILURE UPON ANY NEGATIVE WORDS

THAT WE'VE SOWN OUT OF OUR MOUTHS. WE SAY A NEW SEASON

ARISES NOW IN JESUS' NAME. EVERYBODY SAY AMEN, PASTOR DOUG,

COME. I LOVE YOU. I'LL SEE YOU ON TUESDAY. AMEN. YES, GIVE

PASTOR A HAND. THAT'S A GREAT MESSAGE TODAY. SO MUCH THERE.

HALLELUJAH. WELL, IF YOU ARE WORKING IN THE CONNECT CAFE OR

INFORMATION CENTER, YOU CAN BE DISMISSED AT THIS POINT TO GET

TO YOUR POST. OTHERWISE, IF YOU COULD JUST STAY WITH ME FOR A

COUPLE MINUTES HERE, I WON'T KEEP YOU LONG TODAY. ALSO, I

WANT TO ASK THE ALTAR TEAM IF THEY WOULD COME FORWARD AT THIS

POINT IN TIME. AND IF YOU NEED PRAYER TODAY, AT THE CONCLUSION

WHEN WE DISMISS YOU, THE ALTAR TEAM WILL BE UP HERE IN PLACE.

THEY'RE READY AND ABLE AND WILLING TO PRAY WITH YOU AND FOR

YOU FOR ANY NEEDS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT

IF YOU NEED TO AT THE END OF THE SERVICE TODAY. WELL, YOU KNOW,

GOD HAS A REDEMPTIVE PLAN FOR EVERY PERSON THAT'S EVER BORN ON

THE EARTH. AND THAT'S ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE POINT WHERE THEY

TAKE THEIR LAST BREATH. HE HAS A REDEMPTIVE PLAN FOR THEM IF

THEY'LL JUST MAKE A DECISION AND CHOOSE. ACTS CHAPTER 4 TELLS US

Acts 4 · chapter mention

THAT THERE'S NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN WHEREBY MAN CAN BE SAVED

BUT THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY. AND YOU SAY,

"PASTOR DOUG, WELL, YOU'RE REALLY BEING NARROW THERE."

WELL, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT. AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE

WORLD'S RELIGION, MOSTLY YOU CAN CATEGORIZE THEM AS HAVING

SALVATION COME THROUGH SOME TYPE OF WORKS. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

CHRISTIANITY AND FALSE RELIGIONS IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A

SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, THAT CAME FOR US, HAD A REDEMPTIVE PLAN

FOR US, AND CONTINUES TO HAVE A REDEMPTIVE PLAN FOR US IF WE

JUST MAKE THE DECISION TO RECEIVE IT. HE CAME SO THAT HE

COULD ABOLISH THE SIN IN OUR LIVES AND GIVE US NEW LIFE IN

CHRIST. AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND

FALSE RELIGIONS. SO, I WANT TO ASK TODAY, MAYBE THERE'S SOMEONE

HERE AND YOU'VE NEVER MADE A DECISION FOR CHRIST, OR MAYBE

YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY AND YOU'VE NEVER MADE A DECISION TO

ULTIMATELY DETERMINE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR SAVIOR. YOU'RE

NOT 100% SURE THAT WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, HEAVEN WOULD

BE YOUR HOME. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT TODAY BEFORE YOU

LEAVE, YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. IT WOULD BE WRONG

TO DISMISS YOU WITHOUT DOING THAT. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS

THAT EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. IN THAT VERSE, IT ALSO SAYS THAT THAT'S

TRUE WHETHER IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH, OR EVEN IN HELL, UNDER

EARTH. EVERY PERSON THAT'S EVER BEEN ALIVE WILL SOMEDAY HAVE TO

CONFESS JESUS. DO IT NOW WHILE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, WHILE

YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT. THIS IS THE TIME. THE BIBLE SAYS

TODAY IS A DAY OF SALVATION. DON'T LET IT PASS. I'M GONNA ASK

YOU TO JUST BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME IF YOU WOULD FOR A MOMENT.

AND IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE AND YOU SAY, PASTOR DOUG, MAYBE YOUR

FIRST TIME HERE, MAYBE YOUR 20TH TIME HERE, OR MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN

ATTENDING FOR 10 YEARS, BUT YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE THAT

HEAVEN'S YOUR HOME, OR MAYBE YOU'VE GOTTEN OFF TRACK, YOU

NEED TO COME BACK TO CHRIST. THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY. I

WANNA PRAY WITH YOU TODAY. AND I'M GONNA ASK YOU WHEN I COUNT

TO 3 , IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE, JUST RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY SO

THAT I CAN SPOT YOU AND I'LL PRAY FOR YOU. WE'LL MAKE SURE

THAT THIS GETS TAKEN CARE OF TODAY. IF YOU NEED JESUS, YOU

WANNA MAKE 100% SURE THAT HEAVEN'S YOUR HOME, RAISE YOUR

HAND QUICKLY WHEN I COUNT ONE, 2 , 3 . IS THERE ANYONE HERE TODAY

AND YOU SAY, I NEED JESUS, I WANNA MAKE HEAVEN MY HOME, I'M

NOT 100% SURE, I NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION TODAY. DO I SEE

ANY HANDS HERE TODAY? OKAY, I DON'T SEE ANYONE HERE. IF YOU'RE

WATCHING ONLINE, YOU CAN PRAY WITH ME. REPEAT AFTER ME AS I

PRAY. RIGHT IN YOUR HOME OR WHEREVER YOU'RE AT, YOU CAN PRAY

THIS PRAYER. FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS. I

BELIEVE THAT JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY. HE DIED FOR

ME. HE WAS BURIED AND HE WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD ON THE

THIRD DAY. JESUS, I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE. COME INTO MY HEART,

SAVE ME, CHANGE MY LIFE, PUT ME ON A NEW PATH FOR YOU. AND I

WILL SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. FORGIVE ME FOR ANY SIN,

AND I WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW YOU. AMEN, AMEN. IF YOU PRAYED

THAT PRAYER TODAY, YOU CAN CALL OUR PRAYER LINE JUST TO LET OUR

PRAYER LINE WORKERS KNOW, 8557777907. 24 HOURS A DAY YOU

CAN CALL THAT NUMBER AND WE'LL GET INFORMATION TO YOU AND PRAY

WITH YOU AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED

FOR THAT. IF YOU NEED PRAYER TODAY, AGAIN, THE ALDER TEAM IS

HERE. DON'T FORGET, FLASHPOINT TUESDAY NIGHT. PASTOR HANK WILL

BE THERE. AND THEN LIVE FLASHPOINT FROM BOISE, IDAHO ON

THURSDAY NIGHT. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THIS WEEK. BE BACK IN

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. EVANGELISM

TRAINING HAPPENS THIS COMING SATURDAY. IF YOU NEED

INFORMATION ON THAT OR WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN

EVANGELISM OUTREACH, GO TO THE INFORMATION CENTER AND THEY'LL

GIVE YOU INFORMATION ON THAT. GOD BLESS YOU, THANK

YOU FOR COMING. HAVE A WONDERFUL SUNDAY. WE'LL SEE

YOU BACK IN THE HOUSE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
