(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- COME ON CHURCH, GET UP ON YOUR FEET THIS MORNING.

IF YOU'RE ONLINE, PUSH THAT COFFEE TABLE OUT THE WAY.

LET'S GET READY TO WORSHIP THE GOD OF EARTH.

GREAT, GREAT GOD, COME ON.

♪ YEAH ♪

- HALLELUJAH.

- HALLELUJAH.

- COME ON, LET'S GIVE PRAISE.

WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE BLESS YOU, O GOD OF HEAVEN.

- YES, LORD JESUS.

- AND WE WELCOME YOU AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH YOU AND YOUR

WILL, YOUR PLAN FOR OUR LIVES.

- YES. - AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT

LOVE GOD SAID, "AMEN."

- WOW. - WOW, THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.

AND I ACTUALLY HEARD THIS SECTION THIS MORNING.

SO YOU MUST HAVE PRACTICED LAST NIGHT

BECAUSE OF NEBRASKA WINNING.

IS THAT WHAT IT WAS

OK. ALL RIGHT, HEY,

THAT'S A FEW PEOPLE.

BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, I DIDN'T HEAR THIS SECTION.

SO I'M GOING TO DO IT ONE MORE TIME.

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID--

- AMEN. - ALL RIGHT.

- THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.

- OK, THEY'RE AWAKE TODAY.

- YOU'RE AWAKE.

WELL, DID YOU NOTICE SOMETHING AS YOU WERE AWAKENED TODAY

DID YOU LOOK OUTSIDE AND SEE

WHAT DID YOU NOTICE

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

- WHERE'S PASTOR MIKE OH, NO, PASTOR MIKE.

I STARTED SEEING, DON'T SAY THE WORD

BECAUSE THEN IT THINKS THAT IT CAN COME,

BUT HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW IT'S WHITE AND IT WAS FLOATING

AND IT WAS GOING LIKE THIS

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK, BRENDA

- I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, ALL I KNOW IS, FIRST OF ALL,

WE HAVE BISHOP KEITH BUTLER IN THE HOUSE TODAY.

- WE ARE SO EXCITED.

WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE HIM.

- HERE'S WHAT I KNOW.

THE LAST TIME THEY WERE HERE, ANYBODY REMEMBER THIS

WE HAD A SNOWSTORM.

AND I THINK LIKE 30 PEOPLE CAME TO CHURCH THAT DAY.

SO HE PREACHED LIKE THERE WERE 3000 PEOPLE IN THE ROOM,

BUT IT'S GONNA BE A BETTER DAY.

AND WE ARE SO EXCITED THAT HE AND HIS LOVELY WIFE,

DEBORAH, ARE HERE TODAY.

- WE ARE REALLY EXCITED.

SO LET'S GIVE AN HONOR AND HAND CLAP FOR THEM.

PRAISE GOD.

WELL, WE WANNA DO THIS.

WE WANNA WELCOME ALL OF YOU ALSO THAT ARE WATCHING

AROUND THE WORLD TODAY.

AND IT'S ALWAYS AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU.

LET US KNOW WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING FROM.

AND BY THE WAY, I KNOW A SNOWSTORM CAME THROUGH

LIKE NORTHERN IOWA, SOUTH DAKOTA, MINNESOTA,

I THINK PARTS OF WISCONSIN.

AND IF YOU ARE IN THAT THAT HAPPENED,

LET US KNOW HOW MUCH SNOW YOU GOT, PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS.

BUT HERE'S THE THING, I'M ALWAYS PREPARED.

HOW MANY KNOW WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS

SO BRENDA, I WANNA SHOW YOU AND OUR LOVELY AUDIENCE

WHAT YOU ARE GONNA BUY ME FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

- RIGHT THERE.

THAT IS WHAT I'M GETTING FROM BRENDA THIS YEAR.

- IS THAT EVEN REAL

- YES, IT IS REAL.

- THOSE CANNOT EXIST.

- HOW MANY OF YOU EVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE BEFORE

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND UP.

AND THEN PUT IN THE COMMENTS, GO BRENDA, GO.

- I DON'T KNOW.

I MIGHT TRY TO SNOWBLOW IF I HAD THAT.

I MIGHT, I MIGHT.

- YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO THAT.

- BY THE WAY, PASTOR MATT SENDS HIS LOVE TODAY.

SO GUESS WHAT HE HAS BEEN DOING

DID Y'ALL NOTICE HE WAS KINDA ABSENT FROM IT

- HE'S USING UP ALL OF HIS VACATION.

- I KNOW, HE SAVES IT FOR THE END OF THE YEAR

AND THEN WE NEVER SEE HIM.

BUT, NOW THIS PROBABLY WON'T MATTER TO ANY OF THE WOMEN,

BUT HE SPENT ALL WEEKEND AT MICAH PARSONS' HOUSE.

AND IF YOU KNOW WHO HE IS, HE'S LIKE THE NUMBER

ONE PAID NFL PLAYER.

ANYBODY KNOW WHO MICAH IS

YOU KNOW, ALL OF YOU DALLAS FANS KNOW THAT

HE MOVED TO GREEN BAY.

WELL, ANYWAY, HE GETS TO WATCH THE PACKER GAME IN MICAH

PARSONS' SUITE TOMORROW NIGHT.

SO HE IS-- THAT'S GOOD.

AND HE SAID HE WAS UP AT GREEN BAY AND RAN,

SEE THERE ARE LOH GREEN BAY PACKER FANS.

HE RAN INTO LOHERS IN GREEN BAY.

AND THEY, SO ANYWAY, PASTOR MATT, I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING

AND ALL OF THE GREEN BAY PACKER FANS THAT YOU'RE WITH

AND ALL OF THE LOHERS THAT ARE THERE IN GREEN BAY.

SO THEY ALL SEND THEIR LOVE.

WE LOVE YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, LISTEN, ONE MORE THING.

I DON'T WANNA TAKE TOO MUCH TIME,

BUT I DO WANNA THANK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU

OF MINISTRY OF HELPS THAT PULLED OFF

THE OMAHA VICTORY CAMPAIGN, WHETHER IT BE THE

USHERS, THE GREETERS, ALL YOU MEDIA PEOPLE.

I KNOW SOME OF YOU WERE HERE A LITTLE BIT LATER LAST NIGHT

AND WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS

ABOUT NOT ONLY HOW BEAUTIFUL GOD'S HOUSE IS

AND WE WANNA HONOR YOU, GOD, THANK YOU,

BUT MANY GREAT COMMENTS ABOUT YOU, THE PEOPLE,

AND HOW GREAT YOU ARE, AND WE ALWAYS GET THAT.

AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE PASTOR

THE GREATEST SHEEP PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.

WE REALLY DO, AND WE JUST WANNA HONOR YOU,

AND THANK YOU, LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU

AND APPRECIATE YOU, AND YOU MAKE GOD LOOK GOOD,

YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD, BUT YOU REALLY DO

REPRESENT BRENDA AND I, AND I COULDN'T

HAVE BEEN PROUDER, SO I JUST WANTED TO

WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE WORSHIP YOU WITH THE 24 ELDERS OF THE LORD

AND THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES, THE SERAPHIMS, THE CHERUBS,

EARTH. LET THE HEAVENS DECLARE MY GLORY.

THERE'S NO ONE LIKE THE LORD.

FROM YOUR HEART, EXALT THE KING.

WITH YOUR PRAISE, MAGNIFY THE MAGNIFICENT GOD.

WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU.

THERE'S NO ONE LIKE THE LORD.

ALL RIGHT, JUST BEGIN TO SING TO HIM IN THE SPIRIT.

[MUSIC] (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

>> YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE IS WHAT MY HEART DESIRES THIS DAY.

AND I WILL SING AND I WILL BRING TO YOU, MY KING,

THE HONOR OF MY LOVE.

[SPEAKING IN TONGUES]

COME ON, LET YOUR VOICE RING TO THE KING.

WORTHY, WORTHY, WORTHY, WORTHY ARE YOU GOD.

WORTHY ARE YOU.

TO YOU, MY HEART, I SING, MY KING.

WE LAVISH YOU WITH OUR LOVE.

WE GIVE YOU THE SACRIFICE OF OUR PRAISE,

THE FRUIT OF OUR LIPS, GIVING THANKS.

THIS IS YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU ARE OUR GOD.

WORTHY, WORTHY.

[SPEAKING IN TONGUES]

- WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS THE GRATITUDE THAT IS

ON THE INSIDE OF US.

OH, GREAT GOD.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB.

- NOW LET'S RAISE UP OUR VOICE TO HIM AGAIN.

- DO YOU HEAR THAT FROM YOUR CHILDREN WHO LOVE

YOU AND HONOR YOU

YOU'RE THE BEST, GOD.

YOU'RE THE MOST AWESOME, AMAZING GOD.

AND WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT TODAY.

WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT, MY LORD.

COME ON, WITH THE INSTRUMENTS, LIFT UP THE INSTRUMENTS.

COME ON, LET'S BEGIN TO PRAISE GOD ON THE INSTRUMENTS.

THE SOUND OF THE INSTRUMENTS PRAISING GOD.

INTO THE HEAVENS, AS IT FILLS THE EARTH WITH YOUR PRAISE.

AND OVER THIS NATION, AS THERE IS A NEW SOUND,

BEING RELEASED INTO THE EARTH.

INTO THE EARTH, INTO THE EARTH.

IT IS NOT A SOUND OF A SHUTDOWN.

IT IS THE SOUND OF AN OPEN HEAVEN OVER THE EARTH.

YOU MARKED OUR SHUTDOWN, GOD, HA HA!

BECAUSE THE HEAVENS ARE OPEN!

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

I SPEAK TO YOU AT THIS TIME, SAYS THE LIVING GOD,

FOR THERE ARE MEN WHO LISTEN WITH THEIR EARS,

BUT THEY LISTEN WRONG.

FOR I SAID IN MY WORD, BE WISE ON HOW YOU HEAR,

AND LET THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR, HEAR WHAT THE

SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD SAY UNTO THIS AND TO THIS HOUR.

FOR THERE IS A PROVERB IN YOUR LAND, UNITED STATES, AND

THERE IS A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

I LAUGH, I MOCK, AND I WAIT WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION OF WHAT I

HAVE PLANNED AND WHAT SHALL COME AND FILL THE EARTH

AND THIS NATION.

YOU WATCH AND YOU SEE, FOR YOU SHALL SEE.

FOR IT IS AND IT SHALL BE AS IN THE DAYS WHEN

GOLIATH STOOD BEFORE A NATION ISRAEL THAT PARALYZED

WITH FEAR THE KING, THE WARRIORS AND THOSE WHO

GOVERNED AND THEY WERE SHUT DOWN AND FOR 40 DAYS AND

FOR 40 NIGHTS THINGS WERE SHUT DOWN AND IT LOOKED AS

THOUGH THERE WAS NO VICTORY IN SIGHT.

WHY IS THIS YOUR PERSPECTIVE IN THE EARTH

DO YOU THINK THOSE IN THEIR

FOOLISHNESS HAVE THE POWER IN THEIR FOOLISHNESS AND

LIMITED UNDERSTANDING TO STOP OR TO SHUT DOWN WHAT I

HAVE PURPOSE AND WHAT I HAVE ORDAINED TO ANSWER THE PRAYERS

OF A FEW WHO HAVE PRAYED IN THIS TIME.

FOR I HAVE SAID IN MY WORD, I TAKE AWAY THE

OLD TO ESTABLISH THE NEW.

AND THIS IS WHAT I HAVE PLANNED.

AND I HAVE PROCLAIMED IN MY SCRIPTURES, THE PRINCIPLE,

SPEAKING OF THE FLESH AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.

BUT LET THOSE WHO ARE IN FEAR AND

LIMITED IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT OF

GOD SAYS.

FIRST THE NATURAL,

THEN THE SPIRITUAL.

WHY DO I SPEAK THIS

BECAUSE THEY SAY YOUR GOVERNMENT OF 40

DAYS, THEY WILL SAY, HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN.

I SAY FIRST THE NATURAL, JUST LIKE IN THE

DAYS OF ISRAEL.

FOR 40 DAYS AND NIGHTS,

FIRST THE NATURAL, UNTIL I AROSE IN THE SPIRIT, AND

THE HEAD OF GOLIATH WAS CUT OFF, NOT BY MAN'S MIGHT OR

POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT.

AND THERE WAS A FIERY FURNACE

WHEN THE DOOR WAS SHUT, AND THEY WERE SHUT IN.

AND SEVEN TIMES HOTTER THE FIRE

WAS GREAT.

SURELY THERE WOULD BE NO GOOD OUTCOME.

AND SO THIS IS THE PROVERB OF SOME IN THIS LAND.

BUT WHAT DID I DO

FIRST THE NATURAL, BUT THEN THE FOURTH

MAN I AROSE AND I QUENCHED THE FIRE AND OPENED UP

THAT WHICH WAS SHUT DOWN OF THE FURNACE.

I SPEAK THIS BECAUSE WHILE YOU SAY A SHUTDOWN WE ARE

FINISHED. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

FIRST YOUR NATURAL, NOW I AND THE SPIRIT SAYS

THE LIVING GOD SHALL SHUT DOWN.

THE EFFORTS, THE PLANS, THE AGENDA, THE INTENT,

THE CHAOS, THE DIVISION, THE STRIFE, THE PURPOSEFUL INTENT

TO HARM THE INNOCENT OF THIS NATION.

I WILL SHUT IT DOWN AS THINGS WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT

IN THE 26 OF WHAT MANY HAVE PROCLAIMED AS THE FIX.

YOU WATCH FIRST THE NATURAL.

NOW I SHALL ARISE IN THE SPIRIT

AND I WILL SHUT DOWN THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS

WHO THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD CONTINUE THEIR AGENDA.

WATCH HOW THINGS WILL SHIFT TOWARDS VICTORY, TOWARDS

THE NEW, AND THAT WHICH WILL OPEN.

AND YOU'LL SEE IT IN YOUR LAWS, YOUR

LEGISLATION, YOU WILL SEE IT IN YOUR SCHOOLS, YOUR

UNIVERSITIES, YOU WILL SEE IT IN YOUR ECONOMY AND

ACCELERATION, AS THINGS WILL NOT BE SHUT DOWN OR

HINDERED, BUT THEY WILL OPEN AND THERE WILL BE A FRESH

BREATH THAT WILL BLOW OF MY BREATH OF GRACE AS MY

GOODNESS PASSES OVER THE EARTH.

BUT DO NOT BE FOOLED, FOR AS I PASS OVER THE EARTH

AND OVER THIS NATION, MY JUDGMENTS ARE IN THE EARTH.

AND YOU WILL SEE WHILE THINGS

OPEN, OTHERS AND OTHER THINGS WILL BE SHUT DOWN AND EXPOSED

AS MY JUDGMENT SHALL COME AND MY RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE

SEEN, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

COME ON, WORSHIP HIM.

♪ WORTHY IS THE LAMB.

COME ON, ALL OVER THE WORLD NOW, WORSHIP HIM.

♪ WHO'S SEATED ON THE THRONE.

LET IT BE DONE ACCORDING TO YOUR UTTERANCE.

LET IT BE DONE ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

♪ GIVING PRAISE TO HIM AND HIM ALONE.

THINGS ARE OPENING FOR THE PEOPLE.

IN EVERYONE IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, WHAT HAS BEEN

SHUT DOWN IN THEIR LIFE,

I COMMAND IN THE AUTHORITY OF THE GREAT I AM,

THAT EVERY DEVIL, EVERY DEMON, EVERY PRINCIPALITY IN POWER,

EVERY SATANIC AGENDA AGAINST YOUR LIFE,

EVERY WITCH AND WARLOCK THAT THINK THAT THEY COULD ARISE

TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY ARE BEING SHUT

DOWN, RESTRAINED, CUT OFF, STUFFED IN THE AUTHORITY

OF YESHUA'S NAME.

AND IN THE OPENING OF GOD, AND HIS GRACE HAS COME.

COME ON, WORSHIP HIM.

ONE LAST TIME, WORSHIP HIM.

WORSHIP LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT.

WORSHIP HIM.

WE GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AND YOU ALONE.

THANK YOU, LORD.

COME ON, LIFT UP HANDS OF HONOR.

ALL OVER THE WORLD, WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING, LIFT YOUR HANDS.

COME ON, LET GOD BEGIN.

YOU INHABIT YOUR PRAISE, YOUR HOUSE, COME ON,

YOUR LIFE, YOUR MARRIAGE, YOUR PLANETS, IT'S YOUR BODY.

YOUR CHILDREN.

HERE'S WHAT I WANT US TO DO.

I WANT US TO BE SILENT FOR JUST A MINUTE.

WHEN I COUNT TO THREE, I WANT YOU TO DECLARE THE NAME OF

THE LORD AS LOUD AS YOU CAN.

AND LET THE HEAVENS RELEASE

THE PETITIONS AND THE PRAYERS THAT YOU HAVE REQUESTED.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

YESHUA!

YESHUA! COME ON, SHOUT!

SHOUT! YESHUA!

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU, LORD!

HALLELUJAH, JESUS!

THANK YOU, LORD.

NOW DO THIS, GIVE 'EM A BIG OLD KISS.

WE BLOW A KISS TO YOU IN YOUR HONOR.

HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE GOD

HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE THESE GUYS

THIS IS THE NEXT GENERATION.

HEY, YOU GUYS DID GREAT, MAN.

ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

I WANT YOU TO, MAN, I FEEL THE ANOINTING UP HERE.

I CAN HARDLY STAND, MY LORD.

WOO.

THANK YOU, GOD.

HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

I WANT YOU TO GREET ONE ANOTHER, AND I WANT YOU TO

SAY, "I BET I KNOW,

I KNOW

WHO YOUR FAVORITE

BIBLE CHARACTER IS."

AND YOU CAN'T SAY JESUS.

AND IF THEY DON'T SAY, IF THEY SAY, "I DON'T KNOW,"

THEN SAY, "I BET I KNOW WHO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO MORE,

PASTOR HANK OR PASTOR BRENDA," AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.

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

AN ONLINE HAND AS MY LOVELY WIFE AND PASTOR CHELSEA KUMP.

- ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GETTING READY

OR GEARED UP FOR CHRISTMAS

MAYBE SOME OF YOU ALREADY PUT YOUR TREE UP.

WELL, I, YOU KNOW, MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW,

OF COURSE I DO ALREADY HAVE MY TREE UP

'CAUSE I'M IN THE CHRISTMAS SEASON IN MY HEART.

BUT I WANNA LET MOST OF YOU THAT PROBABLY DON'T KNOW

IS I HAVE THE HONOR OF SERVING ON THE BOARD

OF HEARTLAND HOPE MISSION.

AND I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH PASTOR CHELSEA

BECAUSE WITH THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN COMING

OR HAVING BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG,

THE MISSION IS SEEING A LARGE INCREASE IN DEMAND.

SO WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO DO A LITTLE BIT

OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH OUR ADOPTIVE FAMILY.

I KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE SO FAITHFUL TO HELP

AND ADOPT FAMILIES AT CHRISTMAS TIME,

BUT WE'RE GONNA COMBINE THAT THIS YEAR, PASTOR CHELSEA,

WITH A DIAPER DRIVE.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

WHAT ALL YOU GUYS NEED OUT THERE AT HEARTLAND HOPE

- YEAH, SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T AWARE,

WE OPERATE ONE OF THE LARGEST FOOD PANTRIES IN THE STATE,

AND FRIDAY OUR NUMBERS WERE UP 83%.

SO PART OF WHAT WE DO, WE'RE PRO-LIFE,

SO WE WANT PARENTS TO HAVE WHAT THEY NEED

SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR KIDS.

SO WE NEED DIAPERS, FORMULA, AND WIPES,

AND WE HAVE ON THE GRAPHIC THE SPECIFIC FORMULAS

AND DIAPER SIZES, WE REALLY NEED THOSE BIGGER SIZES,

FOUR AND FIVE RIGHT NOW.

SO YOU'RE ABLE TO DROP THOSE OFF AT THE CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY,

I THINK THE NEXT TWO SUNDAYS.

WE WILL GLADLY TAKE THOSE, AND THEY WILL GO OUT AS

SOON AS THEY COME IN.

SO THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US ON THAT.

AND THEN FOR CHRISTMAS, WE ARE ON TRACK

TO SERVE OVER 9,000 KIDS THIS YEAR

BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED NEED IN THE COMMUNITY.

- YEAH, SO WHAT MY FAMILY IS PLANNING ON DOING,

AND I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THE SAME,

NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO BE ADOPTING A FAMILY,

BUT WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING TO OURS SOME DIAPERS,

SOME FORMULA, AND SOME WIPES, JUST SO THAT WHEN WE'RE

BRINGING ALL OF THOSE THINGS, WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY

TO BLESS OUR COMMUNITY AND JUST REALLY BE THE

ARMS OF JESUS EXTENDED.

SO IF YOU NEED THAT INFORMATION AGAIN,

GO OUT TO HEARTLANDHOPE.ORG, AND YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THE

INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED FOR THE TYPE OF

DIAPERS, THE SIZES, WHAT TYPE OF FORMULA THEY NEED,

AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY WANTS

THE DIAPER WIPES.

SO, ALL RIGHT, AMEN.

WELL, LET'S WELCOME PASTOR BRENDA.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

- AMEN, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

LET'S DO THIS FOR PEOPLE IN NEED AND BE THE HANDS AND FEET

OF JESUS EXTENDED, AMEN

ALL RIGHT, WELL, JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS,

AND YES, JUST FOR THE RECORD, I DO HAVE MY CHRISTMAS TREE UP.

IN FACT, I PUT IT UP ON THE DAY THAT THE DEVIL TRIED TO

CLAIM, OCTOBER THE 31ST, BUT WE TAKE IT BACK

AND WE PUT OUT CHRIST.

I'M TELLING YOU, WE HAD OUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

ON OUR HOUSE BEFORE THAT DAY, AND WE PUT THEM ON BRIGHTLY

THAT NIGHT, I'M TELLING YOU.

SO, AMEN.

ALL RIGHT, JUST A COUPLE QUICK THINGS.

WE'RE GONNA GET INTO THE OFFERING.

WE WANNA GET BISHOP UP TO PREACH AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

I JUST WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY, THIS THURSDAY WE HAVE

NEW MEMBERS CLASS.

SO IF YOU ARE PRAYING ABOUT OR THINKING LORD OF HOSTS

IS THE CHURCH FAMILY FOR YOU, WELL, I ENCOURAGE YOU

TO BE PART OF THAT.

THERE'S INFORMATION OUT AT THE INFORMATION CENTER,

BUT THAT WILL BE THIS THURSDAY.

AND THEN JUST AROUND THE CORNER, NEW YEAR'S EVE

AT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH.

ARE YOU EXCITED FOR IT

CAN YOU BELIEVE WE'RE ALMOST HERE

PEOPLE SAY IT SEEMS LIKE YOU JUST SKIPPED PAST CHRISTMAS.

NO, WE HAVE AMAZING CHRISTMAS HERE AT LORD OF

HOSTS, BUT PEOPLE TRAVEL HERE FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE.

IT'S WHY WE HAVE TO MENTION IT SO EARLY.

SO THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE COMING, THERE ARE

HOTEL BLOCKS AVAILABLE.

YOU CAN CHECK THAT OUT ON OUR WEBSITE.

AND ALL THAT INFORMATION IS OUT THERE FOR THOSE OF YOU

THAT ARE COMING IN TOWN.

AND REMEMBER, NEW YEAR'S EVE, WE ANOINT EVERYBODY

THAT'S IN PERSON WITH OIL.

AND WE ALSO PRAY OVER ALL THE PRAYER REQUESTS

FOR THE NEW YEAR.

WE ANOINT THOSE WITH OIL.

AND WE'LL BE MAKING LITTLE BOTTLES OF OIL

AND WE'LL PRAY OVER THE OIL THAT NIGHT.

SO BE HERE, BE PART OF THAT.

GET YOUR PRAYER REQUEST IN, GO TO HANKANDBRENDA.ORG,

AND YOU CAN SUBMIT THOSE, AND OF COURSE,

YOU'LL BE GETTING THINGS IN THE MAIL ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

BUT JUST WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU, MAKE PLANS NOW,

AND ALREADY, I HAVE TO TELL YOU A REALLY QUICK,

FUNNY STORY ABOUT NEW YEAR'S EVE.

FEW YEARS AGO, WELL, IT'S BEEN QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO NOW,

WE WERE, IN FACT, I WANNA SAY ALMOST 10 YEARS OR SO,

WE'VE DONE NEW YEAR'S EVE FOR A LONG TIME.

AND I REMEMBER WE HAD ONE OF THOSE NEBRASKA COLD SNAPS.

I MEAN, HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THIS

A FEW OF YOU DO.

AND IT WAS GONNA BE LIKE 20 BELOW FAHRENHEIT.

AND PEOPLE WERE LIKE, CAN WE REALLY ALL COME

OUT ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

AND OUR SON, JOHN, AT THAT TIME, HE GOES,

MOM, IS THAT SAFE

IS EVERYONE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, THEY GOTTA BRING THEIR KIDS.

AND YOU KNOW, HE HAD A VALID POINT.

AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LIKE,

LORD, WHAT ARE WE, WHAT TO DO

WELL, I HAD TO RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE THAT DAY

JUST TO GRAB SOMETHING VERY, VERY QUICKLY.

AND I RAN IN AND I SEE, I MEAN, THE STORE IS PACKED.

AND PEOPLE, AND YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE

HAVE BREAD AND EGGS IN THEIR CART.

NO, IT WAS FILLED WITH ALCOHOL.

THEY HAD, YOU KNOW, CASES OF BEER AND ALCOHOL AND WINE

AND ALL OF THESE THINGS, JUST THEIR CARTS WERE OVERFLOWING.

THEY WERE GONNA HAVE NEW YEAR'S EVE NO MATTER THE WEATHER.

AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S IT, DEVIL.

DON'T, HOW DARE YOU.

IF THE WORLD CAN GET OUT THERE, NO MATTER THE TEMPERATURE,

WE, THE PEOPLE OF GOD, WILL HAVE IT.

NOW, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T A BLIZZARD,

BUT YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT'VE CHANGED THINGS A LITTLE BIT

'CAUSE IT'S HARD TO DRIVE.

BUT WE ARE GONNA HAVE AN AWESOME NEW YEAR'S EVE

SERVICE THIS YEAR, AND WE ARE DECLARING WHAT

GOD'S BEEN SAYING OVER 2026.

IT'S A TIME FOR A SHIFT AND A CHANGE IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN

SO MAKE PLANS FOR THAT.

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

WE WILL RECEIVE A SPECIAL OFFERING

FOR BISHOP BUTLER AT THE END OF THE SERVICE.

SO YOU CAN BE A PART OF THAT.

BUT LET'S CONTINUE FROM, AND THIS JUST SO GOES ALONG

WITH THAT PROPHETIC WORD.

THIS IS THE PSALM, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU

TO DO THE SAME THING.

THIS IS THE PSALM THAT I'VE BEEN STUDYING

JUST IN MY PERSONAL TIME.

PSALM 20, THE WHOLE PSALM IS AMAZING.

I WON'T READ IT ALL TODAY.

BUT VERSE ONE SAYS, "THE LORD HEAR THEE."

SOMEBODY SAY, "GOD WILL HEAR ME."

- GOD WILL HEAR ME.

- IN THE DAY OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS.

OR WHATEVER THE OTHER TROUBLE MIGHT BE,

WHATEVER THE CHALLENGE IS.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN OPEN YOUR BANK APP RIGHT NOW

AND IT'LL SAY, ARE YOU AFFECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE AFFECTED.

THEY'RE NOT GETTING PAID RIGHT NOW.

BUT WATCH THIS, IT SAID, THE LORD WILL HEAR THEE

IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE.

NOW, BROTHER COPELAND, IF YOU WERE HERE,

THURSDAY NIGHT BROUGHT OUT, HE WENT TO 1 JOHN 5,

WHERE IT SAYS THAT IF YOU KNOW, IF YOU ASK ANYTHING

ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL, THIS IS VERSES 14 AND 15,

IF YOU ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,

WELL, WHAT HAVE WE ALWAYS SAID

HIS WILL IS FOUND WHERE

IT'S FOUND IN THE WORD OF GOD.

THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUESTION IF GOD WANTS YOU WELL,

BECAUSE GOD HAS HAD A HEALING COVENANT ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE

STARTING AT THE VERY BEGINNING ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

SO WE KNOW FROM THE WORD, IT'S GOD'S WILL TO HEAL.

WE ALSO KNOW IT'S GOD'S WILL TO PROSPER.

IT'S GOD'S WILL TO BLESS.

IT'S GOD'S WILL TO, COME ON SOMEBODY, TO SUPPLY FOR YOU.

AND SO WE KNOW THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,

THAT HE HEARS US.

ISN'T IT GOOD TO KNOW IF GOD IS LISTENING

YOU KNOW, I SAID LAST WEEK, IF WE KNEW THE OUTCOME

OF SOMETHING, RIGHT

IF YOU KNEW 100% THE OUTCOME OF SOMETHING,

WE WOULD NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT SO MANY THINGS.

IT'S LIKE ONE FRENCH PHILOSOPHER ONCE SAID ONE TIME,

HE SAID, "MY LIFE IS FILLED WITH TERRIBLE MISFORTUNE,

"MOST OF WHICH NEVER HAPPENED."

BUT WHY IS THAT

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE WE WORRY ABOUT THINGS

WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT.

IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE, WE CAN TRUST THAT GOD HEARS US.

AND IF WE KNOW THE BIBLE SAID THAT HE HEARS US,

THEN WE KNOW WE HAVE THE PETITIONS WE DESIRE OF HIM.

PUT UP VERSE TWO.

AND SEND THEE HELP FROM THE SANCTUARY.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S STRENGTH IN THE CHURCH.

THERE'S STRENGTH IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.

YOU CAME IN WEAK TODAY, THERE'S A BELIEVER BESIDE YOU

THAT'S FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST

AND THERE IS STRENGTH COMING OUT OF THEIR SPIRIT.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO BE IN THE CHURCH HOUSE.

SOMEBODY SAID ONE TIME, WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE

INSTITUTIONALIZED CHURCH.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH.

GOING TO CHURCH DOESN'T MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN.

OKAY.

AND I THOUGHT, WELL, IT'LL SURE MAKE YOU A BETTER ONE.

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE'RE CONNECTED

TO THE LORD'S PEOPLE IN HIS HOUSE.

AMEN. NOW WATCH THE NEXT VERSE.

IT'S A SHORT PSALM.

AND THE LORD, HERE'S THE PART I WANT YOU TO SEE,

THE LORD WILL REMEMBER ALL, NOT SOME,

THE LORD WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR OFFERINGS.

COME ON, IF YOU'RE A GIVER, IF YOU SOW,

IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE, GOD HEARS YOU

BECAUSE YOU PUT SEED, WOO, YOU'VE GOT SEED UP IN HEAVEN.

COME ON, YOUR TIME HAS GONE BEFORE YOU.

YOUR OFFERINGS HAVE GONE AND MADE THE WAY.

WELL, PASTOR BRENDA, I'M NOT GETTING A PAYCHECK RIGHT NOW.

I'M A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.

I'M NOT GETTING ANY MONEY.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO

YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO

I WOULD HOLD UP MY PHONE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE

AN ELECTRONIC GIVER.

I'D GET OUT MY BANK STATEMENT.

I'D SAY, LORD, I'M HOLDING UP.

SEE THESE OFFERINGS THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE ME

I'M STANDING, I'M HOLDING THEM UP,

AND THE WORD SAYS YOU'LL REMEMBER

EVERY SINGLE OFFERING I'VE GIVEN.

SO I UPHOLD IT BEFORE YOU.

NOW WATCH THIS, GO TO VERSE FOUR.

AND HE WILL GRANT YOU.

COME ON, NOTICE THE GRANTING IS AFTER THE OFFERING.

HE'LL GRANT YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR HEART.

THAT MEANS HE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR HEART'S DESIRES.

HOW MANY OF YOU WERE HERE WHEN JONATHAN SHUTTLESWORTH

WAS SAYING, GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE THINGS YOU WANT,

NOT JUST WHAT YOU NEED.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ALL BE CONDEMNED.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE A NEW CAR, YOU KNOW,

MAYBE I SHOULD JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE

DEVIL TRIED TO MAKE HUMILITY AND POVERTY GO TOGETHER.

NOW THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU HAVE MONEY, DON'T FLAUNT IT.

OKAY, CHARGE THEM.

HE SAID TO TIMOTHY, THOSE THAT BE RICH IN THIS WORLD,

NOT TO BE HIGH MINDED ABOUT IT.

DON'T DO THAT.

OKAY, BE HUMBLE WITH IT.

BUT AT THE SAME POINT, HUMILITY AND POVERTY

DON'T GO TOGETHER.

POVERTY IS A CURSE.

HEY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE DIAPERS AND FORMULA TO GIVE YOUR BABY,

THAT'S A CURSE.

HALLELUJAH. SO HE'LL GRANT YOU

ACCORDING TO YOUR HEART, THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.

NOW, SOME OF THOSE ARE NEEDS, BUT IT'S WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART.

AND WATCH THIS, AND HE'LL FULFILL ALL YOUR COUNSEL.

IN OTHER WORDS, HE WILL LEAD YOU WHERE YOU'RE TO GO.

THAT WHICH YOU HAVE SET YOUR MIND ON, GOD WILL FULFILL.

LOOK AT VERSE FIVE.

AND WE WILL THEN REJOICE IN THY SALVATION.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE ALREADY HAVE THE VICTORY.

AND IN THE NAME OF OUR GOD, AND WE WILL SET UP

OUR VICTORY BANNERS.

THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.

WE WILL ALREADY WAVE THE FLAG OF VICTORY.

IT'S WHY I LOVE OUR LITTLE FLAGGING TROOP IN HERE.

JUST LETTING THE DEVIL KNOW WE'VE GOT VICTORY ALREADY.

BUT HERE'S THE LAST PART.

AND THE LORD, OOH, COME ON, READ IT AND WEEP, DEVIL.

THE LORD, SOMEBODY SAY THE LORD.

SAY IT AGAIN JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.

THE LORD WILL FULFILL JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR PRAYERS.

THE LORD WILL JUST FULFILL A FEW OF YOUR PETITIONS.

NO, I SAID THE LORD WILL FULFILL, HALLELUJAH,

ALL OF YOUR PETITIONS.

COME ON, WHEN YOU PUT IT UP BEFORE GOD,

THOSE OFFERINGS HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU

AND THEY ARE BRINGING AN ANSWER TO PRAYER.

SO GIVE WITH CONFIDENCE TODAY.

GIVE WITH FAITH TODAY.

TITHE WITH FAITH, 'CAUSE GOD'S GOT IT ALL TAKEN CARE OF.

IS THAT GOOD PREACHING

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

LET'S PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN.

ALL OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GIVE ARE THERE,

YOU HELPED BUILD A $20 MILLION BUILDING.

AND BY THE WAY, AVL, OUR LAST PAYMENT

ON ALL THIS AVL IS NEXT MONDAY, AND WE ARE DONE.

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

GIVE JESUS A HAND.

SO YOU HAD TO MAKE, I'M TELLING YOU,

THERE IS $5 MILLION OF AVL IN THIS FACILITY.

THE CORDS IN THE BACK WILL RUN ALL THE WAY

TO KANSAS CITY AND BACK.

BUT YOU KNOW WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

'CAUSE WE BELIEVE, I WAS TELLING SOMEBODY LAST NIGHT

AS YOU'RE GETTING YOUR GIVING READY,

A PASTOR THAT WAS HERE, I SAID, INTERNET IS A WAY TO

INVEST IN THE HARVEST.

AND IF PEOPLE, IT'S HARD TO LISTEN TO

BECAUSE THE SOUND IS SO BAD, THEY CAN'T WATCH.

AND SO INTERNET, YOU HELP TAKE CARE OF THAT.

AND THAT IS INVESTING IN PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS TO CONTINUE.

AND WE'VE GOT MORE PROJECTS TO DO, MORE THINGS.

I KNOW I KEEP TELLING YOU WE'VE GOT NEW INVESTMENTS

THAT ARE ON THE WAY.

SO WE'LL SAY, HOW DO I BE PART OF THAT, PASTOR BRENDA

WELL, GIVE TO THE BUILDING PROJECT.

WE'RE GONNA GET IT DONE IN JESUS' NAME,

AND WE'RE GONNA GO INTO 2026 WITH NEW THINGS,

PUTTING OUR HAND TO THE PLOW AND NOT LOOKING BACK

FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

ALL RIGHT, STAND IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR OFFERING READY,

YOUR TITHE, HOLD IT UP.

IT'S THE BEST DAY IN THE WORLD TO BE A TITHER.

HOLD IT HIGH.

HOLD YOUR PHONE, INTERNET, HOLD YOUR DEVICE,

HOLD YOUR PHONE AND LOOK AT ME WHILE YOU HOLD IT UP.

SAY THESE WORDS, SAY, LORD, I THANK YOU.

YOU'RE NOT JUST GRANTING A FEW PETITIONS,

YOU'RE GRANTING ALL MY PETITIONS.

SO LORD, I'M ASKING YOU TODAY TO REMEMBER ALL MY OFFERINGS.

AND I THANK YOU THAT EVERY OFFERING IS PRODUCING

AN ABUNDANT HARVEST.

LORD, THAT WHICH IS IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW,

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

THAT WHICH IS IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW IS GOING BEFORE ME,

AND IT IS MAKING THE PATHWAY IN THE DAY OF HARDSHIP.

AND I THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

GOD BLESS YOU.

- AMEN, USHERS, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND USH.

THANK YOU ALSO, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

FOR YOUR GIVING, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED

AS THE USHERS SERVE YOU.

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION SOMETHING THAT I'M VERY EXCITED

ABOUT VERY QUICKLY.

I DON'T WANNA-- - OH, YES.

- WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WOULD YOU TELL 'EM REAL QUICK,

YOU'RE GONNA BE SPEAKING FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

VERY QUICKLY.

- OH, YES.

NEXT TWO WEDNESDAY NIGHTS, I FELT THE LORD TELL ME

THAT WE'RE GONNA KINDA GO A LITTLE END TIMES ON WEDNESDAY,

AND WE'RE GONNA TALK, DO A TWO-PART SERIES

ON THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF REVELATION.

YOU DON'T WANNA MISS IT, IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING.

- YOU'RE GONNA DO A GREAT JOB.

- AND I'M GONNA HAVE FUN, I LOVE THIS STUFF.

- HOW MANY ARE GONNA COME OUT HERE, PASTOR BRENDA

- IT'LL BE AWESOME.

- AND I CAN'T WAIT.

- I'M EXCITED.

- I WON'T BE HERE, I'M GONNA COME.

SO I'VE GOT FLASHPOINT ON TUESDAY.

HEY, I WANNA MENTION ONE THING.

SO HOW MANY OF YOU, AS THEY'RE SERVING THE PEOPLE,

THIS GIVES YOU TIME TO GIVE.

SO YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT FOUR DOGS.

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DOGS

HOW MANY OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING HAVE DOGS

SO WE HAVE FOUR DOGS.

- HOW MANY HAVE FOUR DOGS

- SO WE HAVE, I WANNA SAY THIS, 'CAUSE THIS GIVES

ME, I'M FEELING TIME, BUT I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.

SO WE HAVE THREE GERMAN SHEPHERDS

AND A LITTLE SHIH TZU THAT I DIDN'T LIKE AT FIRST.

AND THEY SAY THAT DOGS BARK AN AVERAGE OF 500 TIMES A DAY.

SO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IT IS FOR FOUR DOGS

- A LOT.

- NO, THAT'S 2,000, BRENDA.

BUT THEN AGAIN, 500 TIMES A DAY, IT'S JUST A ROUGH ESTIMATE.

SO I JUST THOUGHT I'D-- I'M LEAVING.

--LET YOU KNOW THAT.

SO JUST A ROUGH ESTIMATE.

JUST A ROUGH ESTIMATE, I TELL YOU.

JUST A ROUGH-- I HAD TO FILL SOME TIME

WHILE YOU GUYS WERE GIVING.

ANYWAY, WELL, LISTEN, IT IS MY HONOR

TO INTRODUCE OUR WONDERFUL GUEST.

AND I TELL YOU, WHEN I TELL YOU, I

THINK HE IS ONE OF THE MOST ANOINTED PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET,

ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC SPEAKERS, APOSTLES.

HE HAS BUILT SO MANY WORKS ACROSS THIS GREAT PLANET,

BUT HE ALSO HAS A TREMENDOUS TEACHING GIFT, PASTORAL GRACE,

BUT ALSO HE HAS A PROPHETIC ANOINTING THAT COMES ON HIM.

AND IT IS ALWAYS MY HONOR WHENEVER HE DOES INVITE ME

TO COME UP TO HIS CHURCH IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN,

AND IT IS A BIG CHURCH.

I MEAN, HE'S TALKING ABOUT A BIG CHURCH.

IT'S A BIG CHURCH.

BUT IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME BECAUSE HE HAS SUCH A VAST GRACE

AND SUCH A VAST ANOINTING.

PASTOR DEBORAH, IT'S SUCH AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE.

AND I TELL YOU WHAT, I WANT YOU TO STAND TO YOUR FEET

AND I WANT YOU TO DO TWO THINGS.

I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM HE'S A DETROIT LION FAN.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

HOW MANY DETROIT LION FANS ARE IN HERE

TELL HIM WE LOVE YOU.

WE LOVE THE LION OF JUDAH.

(LAUGHING)

BUT I WANT YOU TO GIVE A BIG OMAHA WELCOME

TO BISHOP KEITH BUTLER AND THOSE OF YOU

THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE AS HE COMES.

(CHEERING)

- HALLELUJAH.

- GOD IS GOOD.

AM I ON

AM I ON

ALL RIGHT, GOD IS GOOD.

ALL THE TIME.

AMEN, PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA, PRAISE GOD.

THEY ARE JUST TREMENDOUS.

YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE PASTORS LIKE THIS.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

YOU KNOW, THE LORD USES US TO PLANT CHURCHES.

SO THE LORD'S HAD US DO IT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES

AND EUROPE AND AFRICA IS WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO MINISTER.

AND PEOPLE WHO WRITE ME, THEY WRITE ME,

"WILL YOU PLANT A CHURCH"

I'M TALKING ABOUT IN THE UNITED STATES.

"WILL YOU PLANT A CHURCH IN THIS CITY OR THIS TOWN OR WHATEVER"

AND THEY SAY, "WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE REALLY HERE

TO REAL CHURCH TO BLESS US."

AND WHEN PEOPLE FIRST STARTED DOING THAT TO ME,

I WAS VERY SURPRISED.

THE UNITED STATES, THERE'S GOT TO BE,

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF

THOUSANDS OF CHURCHES.

BUT THERE ARE CHURCHES AND THEN THERE ARE CHURCHES.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

AMEN, I'M TELLING YOU THAT BECAUSE RIGHT HERE IN OMAHA,

Y'ALL GOT A CHURCH, HALLELUJAH.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

AND YOU ARE BLESSED.

RECENTLY, OF COURSE, WE HAD YOUR PASTOR UP,

HE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT AT OUR CONVENTION IN OCTOBER.

AND OF COURSE, HE HAS THAT PROPHETIC GIFT.

AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT'S GOING ON,

AND I MISSED IT RIGHT NOW, I WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT.

BUT THERE'S SOME CHANGES THAT'S HAPPENING.

WELL, I KNOW THAT 2026 IS A YEAR OF CHANGE.

AMEN. I KNOW 25 FOR US WAS

A OPEN DOOR YEAR, AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

AND I KNOW THAT 26 IS A YEAR OF CHANGE AND NEWNESS.

AMEN. AND HE CAME AND I WAS

TELLING HIM YESTERDAY, AND I TOLD HIM AFTER HE

MINISTERED FRIDAY NIGHT AT OUR PLACE, I SAID, "MAN, YOU

HAD TO RAISE THE OWL TONIGHT."

'CAUSE I MEAN, THAT PROPHET'S GIFT WAS--

I MEAN, I DIDN'T TELL HIM A WORD,

DIDN'T TELL HIM NOTHING.

CONGREGATION THOUGHT, "OH, A BISHOP MUST HAVE TOLD HIM."

NO, I DIDN'T TELL HIM NOTHING, OKAY

THE WORD OF THE LORD WAS SO ACCURATE.

AND SO AN INDIVIDUAL CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE MINISTRY

GIFT OFFICE.

AMEN. I STAND IN THREE.

HE HAS AT LEAST, PRAISE GOD, TWO AT LEAST.

HE MAY HAVE A THIRD.

I DON'T KNOW.

AMEN. DAD HAGAN HAD SEVERAL.

SO PAUL HAD THREE.

I MEAN, OTHERS, PRAISE GOD.

SO TO HAVE A PASTOR AND PASTOR'S WIFE

WITH A PROPHETIC GIFT LIKE THAT, Y'ALL JUST DOUBLE BLESSED.

DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR CHURCH FOR GRANTED.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

AMEN.

PEOPLE HAVE A TENDENCY TO NOT REALLY RECOGNIZE

WHAT THEY HAVE UNTIL THEY LOSE IT.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHY DID IT DON'T GO THERE

AMEN.

IN JESUS' NAME.

I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY WIFE OF 50 YEARS,

PASTOR DEBORAH.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

AMEN.

WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 50 YEARS AND WE HAVE THREE

GRAND--GROWN CHILDREN, PRAISE GOD, WHO ARE ALL

FULL-TIME MINISTERS.

AMEN.

AND WE HAVE SEVEN GRANDCHILDREN, FOUR GIRLS AND THREE BOYS.

AFTER WE HAD THE THREE GIRLS FIRST,

THEN I WENT TO PRAYING.

I SAID, "LORD, I NEED A BOY," RIGHT

AND THE LORD GAVE ME A BOY, AND AFTER THAT WE

HAD ANOTHER BOY, AND AFTER THAT WE

HAD ANOTHER BOY.

PRAISE GOD, HALLELUJAH.

AMEN. AND THEN WE HAD A LITTLE

PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL AT THE END.

OH MY GOODNESS.

I WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THAT.

THE PASTOR, DEBORAH, STILL MAKES MY LIVER QUIVER.

SHE STILL ADDS GLIDE TO MY STRIDE AND PEP TO MY STEP.

HALLELUJAH. AMEN.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR THE HONOR OF BEING HERE.

WE'RE ABOUT TO GET INTO THE WORD NOW.

BEFORE WE DO, ANY OF YOU WERE HERE

WHEN I MINISTERED FOR BROTHER COPELAND THIS WEEK

LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS.

OH, A GREAT DEAL OF YOU WERE, ALL RIGHT.

SO THIS MESSAGE IS KIND OF LIKE PART TWO OF THAT.

AND IF YOU MISSED WHAT WE DID FOR BROTHER COPELAND'S

MINISTRY THIS WEEK, AMEN, YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND

YOU CAN HEAR IT AND CATCH UP.

'CAUSE REALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY

IS THAT THIS IS BEING ADDED ON THAT GOT BEFORE THE LORD

WHAT HE WANTED US TO DO THIS MORNING.

HE WANTED ME TO ADD ON TO WHERE WE LEFT OFF.

SO I'LL TOUCH JUST A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT WE DID THIS WEEK.

WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING ON IN JESUS' NAME.

ARE YOU READY TO GET INTO THE WORD NOW

TAKE YOUR BIBLE IN YOUR HAND, WHETHER IT'S ON A

CELL PHONE OR A TABLET OR JUST A REGULAR LEATHER

PULP BIBLE LIKE MINE, HOLD IT UP IN THE AIR AND

SAY THIS ALONG WITH ME.

THIS IS MY BIBLE.

THE BIBLE IS GOD SPEAKING TO ME.

AND THE BIBLE IS THE TRUTH.

IT INSTRUCTS ME WHAT TO BELIEVE, WHAT TO THINK, HOW TO LIVE,

HOW TO HAVE VICTORY, AND ALSO IN IT IS THE PATH TO ETERNAL LIFE.

HALLELUJAH. LORD, ONCE AGAIN, WE HUMBLY

COME BEFORE THE WORD OF GOD.

YOUR WORD IS ALL WE NEED.

YOU SAID IN ROMANS 1 16, PRAISE GOD,

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE POWER OF GOD

UNTO ALL DELIVERANCE TO THE JEW FIRST AND ALSO TO THE GREEK.

YOU ALSO TOLD US THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GREAT TEACHER

AND INSTRUCTOR AND WILL BRING BACK TO OUR REMEMBRANCE

THE THINGS JESUS SAID UNTO US.

SO HOLY SPIRIT, WE YIELD TO YOU AGAIN TODAY.

WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD SPEAK THROUGH THESE LIPS OF CLAY,

THE WORD OF GOD.

OPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING.

WE CAN SEE, KNOW, UNDERSTAND, WALK IN THE THINGS

THAT THE LORD JESUS SAID UNTO US.

WE'RE OPEN, FATHER, TO WHATEVER OTHER GIFTS,

GRACES, ANOINTINGS, MANIFESTATIONS,

OR DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE SPIRIT YOU WILL SEE FIT

TO SHARE WITH US.

AND FATHER, FOR WHATEVER YOU DO, WE GIVE YOU AND YOU ONLY ALL

OF THE GLORY, HONOR, OR PRAISE.

ALL THIS WE ASK IN THE HOLY, MIGHTY, MATCHLESS,

AND HIGHEST AUTHORITY OF ALL, JESUS OF NAZARETH,

BY HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD.

EVERYONE IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS PRAYER SAID.

- AMEN.

- AMEN, ASK YOUR SEAT, OPEN YOUR BIBLES

TO THE 16TH CHAPTER OF MARK, PLEASE.

HALLELUJAH. AS I WAS SAYING AT BROTHER

COPELAND'S VICTORY CONFERENCE, PRAISE THE LORD, WHAT WE'RE

ABOUT TO READ IN MARK 16 IS TWO THINGS.

IT IS, FIRST OF ALL, A COMMAND,

AND THEN HE ALSO IS GOING TO PROPHESY.

WE KNOW IF WE READ VERSE 14, PRAISE THE LORD, OF MARK 16,

WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE DAY THAT, AND BEFORE THAT AS WELL,

WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE DAY THAT JESUS WAS RAISED

FROM THE DEAD IN THIS PARTICULAR CHAPTER, PRAISE THE LORD.

IN VERSE 14, "HE APPEARED UNTO THE ELEVEN, AS THEY SAID,

"AT MEETING UPBRAIDED THEM WITH THEIR UNBELIEF

"AND HARDNESS OF HEART, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED NOT THEM

"WHICH HAD SEEN HIM AFTER HE WAS RISEN.

"AND HE SAID UNTO THEM," HERE'S THE COMMAND PART,

"GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL

"TO EVERY CREATURE.

"HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED,

"BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED."

AND HERE'S THE PROPHECY.

"AND THESE SIGNS," NOW THE NEW TESTAMENT IS

TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK AND THE GREEK WORD

FOR SIGNS IS SEMION.

AND SEMION, SIGNS MEAN IT IS AN INDICATION.

BUT PRAISE THE LORD.

OH, YOUR PASTOR IS ALWAYS KIDDING ME ABOUT,

'CAUSE I'M A BIG GAME HUNTER.

AND SO HE'S ALWAYS KIDDING ME ABOUT MY COLLECTION

THAT I HAVE, 'CAUSE I HAVE THE BEST COLLECTION

IN THE UNITED STATES, HALLELUJAH.

WELL, IT GOT TO BE CLOSE, RIGHT

AMEN. BUT, AMEN.

AN INDICATION IS SOMETHING WHEN YOU DON'T SEE IT NECESSARILY

AT THE MOMENT, BUT YOU MAY HEAR A SOUND.

I MEAN, AN INDICATION CAN BE ANY OF THE FIVE SENSES.

HALLELUJAH. BUT IF YOU'RE OUT IN THE WOODS,

IF YOU'RE AGAINST HUNTERS, THEN FORGIVE ME, ASK THE

LORD TO FORGIVE ME, ALL OF THAT.

HALLELUJAH. BUT IF YOU'RE OUT IN

THE WOODS, YOU KNOW, AND YOU JUST SEE THESE

LITTLE BITTY HORNS

STICKING UP THERE IN THE TALL GRASS

OR WHATEVER'S OUT THERE, THAT'S AN INDICATION

THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.

AMEN AND JESUS IS ABOUT TO SAY,

IF YOU SEE THESE INDICATIONS, YOU SEE THESE THINGS HAPPENING,

MUST BE SOME CHRISTIANS AROUND.

AMEN. SO HE SAYS, "THESE

INDICATIONS SHALL FOLLOW," SHALL, FUTURE TENSE, "SHALL

FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE."

DO I HAVE ANY BELIEVERS IN HERE

SO HE'S TALKING ABOUT HERE, IF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND,

WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE SEEING WHERE YOU ARE CONCERNED.

HE SAYS, "THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THOSE BELIEVERS.

IN MY NAME," THE GREEK WORD FOR NAME IS ONOMA.

ONOMA MEANS AUTHORITY AND CHARACTER.

THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTERISTIC OF GOD

IS THAT GOD IS LOVE.

AMEN SO IN MY LOVE, WHAT

THEY'RE GOING TO DO, THEY DO IT FROM A BASIS

OF LOVE, AGAPE LOVE.

AND THEY DO IT WITH MY AUTHORITY.

THEY SHALL CAST OUT DEVILS, WHICH IS NUMBER ONE.

BUT WE SPENT TIME THIS WEEK ON NUMBER TWO.

AMEN. AND TO SOME EXTENT,

WE WILL TODAY.

AMEN. HE SAID, "THEY SHALL

SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES."

NOW, THE GREEK WORD FOR NEW IS KENOS.

AND KENOS MEANS FRESH.

AMEN. AS I WAS SAYING THIS PAST WEEK,

LIKE I SAID, I'M GONNA REVIEW THIS A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT I WAS SAYING THIS PAST WEEK, AMEN,

SOMETHING FRESH MEANS, GUESS WHAT

IT'S NEW.

IT MEANS IT WASN'T HERE BEFORE.

IT MEANS IT'S NOT STALE.

I WAS IN THE SERVICE NOT TOO LONG AGO,

AND DURING THE SERVICE, THE LORD SAID TO ME, "STALE."

IN OTHER WORDS, THE SERVICE AND WHAT WAS HAPPENING

WAS THE CHURCH WAS STALE, AND HE WANTED SOMETHING NEW.

HALLELUJAH. I WENT INTO THE

REFRIGERATOR A FEW DAYS AGO, AND I SAW SOMETHING THAT

LOOKED GOOD FOR ME TO EAT.

SO I REACHED AND PULLED IT OUT, AND WHEN I DID,

THE WIFE SAID TO ME, "YOU BETTER READ THAT DATE ON THAT."

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

SEE, SHE DIDN'T WANT ME TO EAT NOTHING THAT'S STALE.

THANK GOD FOR WIVES PROTECTING US, BROTHERS.

I DIDN'T GET TOO MANY AMENS FROM THE BROTHERS, DID I

COME ON, BROTHERS.

THE BIBLE SAID GOD GAVE US A HELP ME 'CAUSE WE NEED HELP.

HALLELUJAH. TELL YOUR WIFE, SAY, "HONEY,

THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME."

BOY, Y'ALL, I MEAN.

[LAUGHTER]

YOU AIN'T GONNA CUT HER NO SLACK, HUH

SO ANYWAY, SO I READ IT, AND I-- YEAH, IT WAS INDEED STALE.

SO SHE ORDERED ME SOMETHING FRESH.

WELL, FRESH, NEW.

THEY SHALL SPEAK WITH NEW.

THE WORD FOR TONGUES IS GLOSSA.

AND GLOSSA MEANS A LANGUAGE WHICH

IS NOT ACQUIRED NATURALLY.

THIS WORD TONGUES IS THE SAME ONE IN ACTS 2, 4, RIGHT

THEY BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER, GLOSSA, TONGUES,

AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THE UTTERANCE,

THE MANNER OR THE STYLE OF SPEAKING.

NOW ALL THIS HAS TO DO WITH YOUR MOUTH.

AMEN AND TODAY WE'RE MINISTERING

ON THE SUBJECT OF, PRAISE GOD, WHO IS CONTROLLING YOUR MOUTH

IS IT PRODUCING A MESS OR MIRACLES

HALLELUJAH. NOW, THE REASON WHY THE

LORD GIVES US FRESH TONGUES IS BECAUSE OF SOMETHING JESUS

SAID IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 6.

Matthew 6 · chapter mention

I'M GOING TO GO BACK THERE AGAIN.

CAN I GET THREE HALLELUJAHS THIS MORNING

ONE FOR THE FATHER, ONE FOR THE SON, ONE FOR THE HOLY GHOST.

COURSE THE BACK PART OF MATTHEW CHAPTER SIX,

JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT NOT WORRY IT.

DON'T CONCERN YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA EAT, DRINK,

HALLELUJAH, EVEN DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

GOD WILL FIND A WAY TO GET IT TO YOU.

AMEN, GOOD PREACHING, WOO, YEAH.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

HALLELUJAH. SO HE'S TELLING

THEM NOT TO WORRY.

EVERYBODY KNOWS VERSE 16, VERSE 33 RATHER.

SEEK YE FIRST, OR AT THE BEGINNING,

THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.

SO HE'S TELLING YOU NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE THINGS.

VERSE 34 IS USUALLY NOT QUOTED MOST TIMES I HEAR PEOPLE

WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THIS.

AND JESUS SAID IN VERSE 34, "TAKE THEREFORE NO

THOUGHT FOR THE MIRE," STILL TALKING ABOUT DON'T WORRY.

WHY "FOR THE MIRE SHALL TAKE THOUGHT

FOR THE THINGS OF ITSELF."

IN OTHER WORDS, I'M GONNA HANDLE IT.

BUT THEN HE SAYS SOMETHING ELSE HERE.

"SUFFICIENT UNTIL THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF."

THE WORD SUFFICIENT MEANS ENOUGH.

IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT HE'S TELLING YOU IS,

PRAISE GOD, DON'T WORRY, EVEN THOUGH THERE MIGHT BE

IN FRONT OF YOU EVERY DAY, SOME CHALLENGE, SOME

SITUATION, SOME EVIL, SOME APPROACH THAT THE ENEMY

IS BRINGING AGAINST YOU.

AND SO FOR THE FRESH ATTACK THAT THE ENEMY BRINGS AGAINST YOU,

GOD HAS A FRESH TONGUE FOR YOU.

HALLELUJAH. HE'S GOT A FRESH WORD FOR

YOU TO UTTER SUPERNATURALLY.

AND OF COURSE, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR

WITH 1 CORINTHIANS 14, TWO, IT SAYS THAT,

"HE THAT SPEAKETH IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE,

"SPEAKETH NOT UNTO MEN, BUT UNTO GOD.

"HOW BEING IN THE SPIRIT, HE SPEAKS MUSTERION."

HE SPEAKS MYSTERIES, SECRETS, PRAISE GOD.

SEE, GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS, SO HE KNOWS ABOUT TOMORROW'S ATTACK

THAT THE ENEMY HAS PLANNED FOR YOU.

HE KNOWS ABOUT NEXT YEAR, HALLELUJAH.

AND HE'S GOT FRESH TONGUES TO HELP YOU PRAY WITH ACCURACY.

HALLELUJAH. NOW SEE, I'M GONNA TELL YOU

HOW MUCH ACCURACY MATTERS.

VERY MUCH SO, PRAISE GOD.

IF YOU ARE IN A FIGHT, AMEN, A GUNFIGHT, AMEN.

GOD FORBID YOU BEEN THIS, BUT I'M USING THIS AS AN EXAMPLE.

IF YOU'RE IN A GUNFIGHT, I UNDERSTAND PASTOR

BRENDA GOT A GUN.

HALLELUJAH, I UNDERSTAND SHE GOT ONE, SHE READY.

HALLELUJAH. WELL, PASTOR, HUH

- IT'S A GLOCK.

- IT'S A GLOCK TOO.

GO AHEAD, BABY.

SHE GONNA ROCK WITH THE GLOCK, HALLELUJAH.

WELL, I TELL YOU THOUGH, THOUGH, IF SHE WOUND UP IN A SITUATION

AND SOMEBODY'S COMING AT HER TO TAKE HER OUT AND SHE FIRES THIS

GLOCK, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS, BUT SHE DISCHARGES THAT

GLOCK, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT BEING IN THE VICINITY

AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH

RIGHT SEE, YOU MISS HERE, YOU MISS HERE,

YOU MISS HERE, YOU MISS HERE, AND HE'S STILL COMING.

HOW MANY KNOW THAT ACCURACY MATTERS WHEN

YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER

YOU WANT TO HIT THAT CENTER MASS, A'S ON B'S

ON C'S ON, I MEAN YOU, BUT YOU WANT TO MAKE

SURE YOU PUT THE HITS RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG.

SO EVERYBODY SAY ACCURACY MATTERS.

SAME THING'S TRUE WITH PRAYER.

THE REASON WHY FIRST CORINTHIANS 14 TELLS YOU ABOUT

PRAYING THIS WAY AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY GOD WANTS

CONTROL OF YOUR MOUTH IS SO THAT YOU CAN BE

ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE.

NOW, JAMES 4, 3 SAYS, PRAISE GOD, THAT WE PRAY AMISS.

THE WORD AMISS MEANS WE PRAY BADLY,

AND IT ALSO USES THE WORD IN THE GREEK, MISERABLY.

AND THE REASON WHY, PRAISE GOD, BECAUSE WE DON'T PRAY

WITH FULL INFORMATION.

WE ONLY PRAY BASED ON WHAT WE SEE OR FEEL

OR TOUCH OR TASTE OR SMELL, AMEN,

OR WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW.

HOW MANY OF YOU FOUND OUT IN YOUR LIFE

THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW SOMETHING

WAS THE CASE AND YOU FOUND OUT LATER IT WASN'T

IT WAS NOT.

ALL OF Y'ALL HANDS SHOULD'VE WENT UP.

WE GOT ALTAR FOR LIARS UP HERE TOO, YOU KNOW.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I DIDN'T CALL YOU A LIAR, NOW.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

AMEN. BUT SEE, IN ROMANS

8, 26, TELLS US WHAT

WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY FOR US, WE OUGHT TO.

AND SO THE SPIRIT HAS TO HELP US,

HAS TO ASSIST US WHEN WE PRAY SO THAT WE DON'T MISS,

MISS, MISS, MISS.

BUT WHAT WE CAN DO, WE CAN BRING THE POWER OF GOD

ON THE SCENE AND HIT CENTER MASS AT THE DEVIL.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

AMEN, BECAUSE GOD GETS TO MOVE IN THE EARTH

BECAUSE SOMEONE ASKED HIM TO DO IT.

DAD HAGAN USED TO SAY, PRAISE THE LORD,

MY SPIRIT'S A FATHER, KENNETH E.

HAGAN. AND SO PRAISE THE LORD, TO SAY

THAT WE'RE ON AN EARTH LEASE.

GENESIS TOLD US THAT, RIGHT

MOST OF Y'ALL KNOW ALL THIS.

AND PRAISE GOD, YOU NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN.

I SAID, YOU NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN.

AMEN, WE'RE ON THE EARTH, PLEASE.

I MEAN, GENESIS, PRAISE GOD, CHAPTER ONE,

MADE MAN HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS.

LET HIM HAVE DOMINION OVER ALL THE EARTH.

SAYS IT IN PSALMS TWO, THE EIGHTH PSALM, PRAISE GOD.

AMEN, WHAT IS MAN, YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM.

Y'ALL HAVE, YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM THE GLORY OF GOD,

THE HONOR OF GOD, AND PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET.

SAY AMEN, SO A LEASE IS WHEN, PRAISE GOD,

EVEN THOUGH SOMEBODY'S THE OWNER,

THEY'VE LET IT OUT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

AND UNLESS THERE'S AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE OWNER

AND THE LESSEE, AMEN, THE OWNER CAN'T COME INTO THE

PROPERTY WITHOUT INVITATION.

NOW THERE'S AN END OF THE LEASE.

NOW THAT'S WHAT BOOK OF REVELATIONS,

I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT SHE GONNA PREACH IS COMING UP.

BUT THAT'S WHAT BOOK OF REVELATIONS,

END TIME TEACHING IS ABOUT RIGHT AT THE END OF THE LEASE.

AND THINGS ARE GOING TO REVERT BACK, PRAISE GOD, TO PRIOR.

HALLELUJAH. SO RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER, WE'RE

AT THE END OF THIS LEASE.

SO GOD MOVES ON THE EARTH BECAUSE HE IS INVITED.

BUT WHEN YOU INVITE HIM, YOU WANT TO INVITE HIM.

WHAT DOES ROMANS 8, 27 AND 28 SAYS

IT SAID THAT THE SPIRIT, IN FACT, I SHOULDN'T

QUOTE ALL THESE, I SHOULD MAKE YOU READ THEM.

TURN TO ROMANS CHAPTER 8.

Romans 8 · chapter mention

AMEN. PRAISE THE LORD.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG Y'ALL DO CHURCH, SO I'M JUST

GOING TO JUST MOVE ALONG, BUT, BUT, UH, ROMANS

Romans 8 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 8 AND YOU CAN READ, DID I SAY ROMANS

YEAH. OKAY.

ROMANS CHAPTER 8.

Romans 8 · chapter mention

PRAISE THE LORD.

VERSE 27.

HE THAT SEARCHETH THE HEARTS THAT'S GOT THE FATHER

KNOWETH WHAT IS THE MIND AND THE SPIRIT, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT

MAKE OF INTERCESSION FOR THE SAINTS ACCORDING TO GOD.

SEE, ALL THAT'S ABOUT ACCURACY.

SO THAT YOU BRING GOD'S POWER, HIS

ANOINTING, RIGHT ON THE SCENE.

SEE, PRAYING IN TONGUES IS ABOUT WAR.

WHAT IT IS, IS SPIRITUAL ARTILLERY.

YOUR MOUTH IS THE HOWITZER.

SPIRITUAL ARTILLERY GOES UP, PRAISE GOD, HALLELUJAH,

AND THEN COMES DOWN ON THE ENEMY'S CAMP

PRECISELY AT THE SPOT THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

HALLELUJAH. AND SO YEAH, WE PRAY IN

TONGUES AND WE DO IT, WE KIND OF DO IT MORE

AS A DEVOTIONAL GIFT.

WE DO IT 'CAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO.

HALLELUJAH. WE DO IT SOME, BUT THE LORD

WANTS YOU TO RAISE THIS TO A HIGHER LEVEL.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

BECAUSE, AMEN, IT'S GOING TO BE NECESSARY

TO DESTROY SOME LARGER TARGETS.

NOW TURN TO ACTS CHAPTER TWO, AND LET ME NOW GET INTO

THIS IN SOME GREATER DETAIL.

CAN I GET THREE PRAISE THE LORD, SOMEBODY

- PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD.

- NOW I JUST REVIEW JUST A LITTLE BIT

ON WHAT WE WERE MINISTERING THIS WEEK FOR BROTHER COPELAND.

AND I REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET IT,

'CAUSE IT'LL REALLY MAKE THIS MESSAGE

MAKE A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE.

THIS IS THE DAY OF PENTECOST.

THEY'RE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST,

SPEAKING OF THE TONGUES OF THE SPIRIT,

AGAINST THE MANNER AND STYLE OF SPEAKING,

THE WORD UTTERANCE, PRAISE GOD.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE MOCKED AND SAY,

AS THEY SPILL OUT INTO THE STREETS,

DRUNK IN THE HOLY GHOST.

EVER BEEN DRUNK IN THE HOLY GHOST

I HAVE, PRAISE GOD.

EVER BEEN DRUNK IN THE HOLY, THEY SPILL OUT ON THE

STREETS AND THEY'RE STILL SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

MAN, WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG

THIS WENT ON.

AND WE KNOW IT WAS A WHILE BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM

ALL OVER FOUND THEIR WAY THERE.

AND YOU KNOW, ALL THE CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE, PARTHIANS AND

MEDES AND ELAMITES AND SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE, THIS

HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE, MAN.

THEY'RE DRUNK IN THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS

WHY SOMEBODY SAYS THESE MEN ARE DRUNK.

AND THEN PETER STANDS UP AND HE SAYS THIS IN VERSE 16,

BUT THIS IS THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET JOEL WAS

THE BOOK OF JOEL CHAPTER TWO, VERSE 28.

IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS, SAY OF GOD, I

WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT.

NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY 1828 EDITION IS THE

ONE DADDY HIGGINS ALWAYS DO.

UH AMEN.

THAT WORD POUR MEANS TO SEND FORTH IN A STREAM OR

CONTINUOUS SUCCESSION WITH OVERWHELMING FORCE TO MOVE AS A

CURRENT. SO HE SAYS HERE, IN THE LAST DAYS, I WILL MOVE AS A

STREAM, AS A CONTINUOUS SUCCESSION WITH OVERWHELMING

FORCE AND THAT I WILL MOVE AS A CURRENT.

PRAISE GOD.

WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT

HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE HOLY GHOST.

YOU SEE, WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE, YOU

NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST, THE FIRST

FOUR, MAINLY, MOST PART OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.

NOW YOU HAVE ALL THREE AND ALL DISPENSATIONS, BUT

THE, MAINLY THE OLD TESTAMENT IS ABOUT GOD THE FATHER.

AMEN. AND GOD THE FATHER'S DOING WHAT

HE'S SETTING THE STAGE, HE'S GETTING THE WORD

AND THE EARTH THROUGH HIS PROPHETS.

AMEN. AND HE'S GETTING THE EARTH PREPARED

FOR THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.

THE MESSIAH.

JESUS OF NAZARETH.

HALLELUJAH. HE LAYS SO MANY PROPHECIES IN THE EARTH,

GLORY TO GOD.

AND HE SAID IN ISAIAH, "MY WORD IS LIKE

RAIN FROM HEAVEN.

ONCE IT COMES DOWN ONTO THE EARTH, IT'S

GOING TO WATER, IT'S GOING TO BRING FORTH.

THERE'S NO WAY IT CANNOT BRING FORTH.

IT'S GOING TO BRING FORTH.

SATAN CAN'T GET IT OUT.

JUST LIKE YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T HAVE RAIN HAPPEN

HERE. YOU CATCH IT IN THE BUCKET AND THROW IT BACK UP IN THE

CLOUDS. IT AIN'T GOING TO WORK THAT WAY.

ONCE IT COMES DOWN IN THE EARTH, MAN, IT'S GOING

TO DO SOMETHING.

SO THAT WORD, GOD'S GOING TO LAY THIS

FOUNDATION. NOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THEN YOU'RE GOING TO

HAVE THE TIME OF THE MESSIAH, JESUS, THE SON.

NOW THIS IS SHORT, IT'S ONLY 33 YEARS,

BUT IT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.

I SAID, IT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.

GLORY TO GOD.

AND THEN JESUS SAYS, NOW I'M GOING

AWAY. AND WHEN I GO, JOHN 14, JOHN 16, WHEN I GO

AWAY, I'M GOING TO SEND ANOTHER COMFORTER TO YOU

BECAUSE WHILE I'M WITH YOU, I'M YOUR COMFORTER,

BUT I'M GOING TO SEND YOU ANOTHER ONE.

AND HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER,

EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE.

AND SO NOW WE LIVE IN THE TIME OF AGE OF GRACE.

WHY ARE YOU CALLED AGE OF GRACE

HEBREWS 10, 29 HAS A NAME FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS A LOT OF NAMES,

JUST LIKE JESUS HAS MANY NAMES, JUST LIKE THE FATHER.

BUT HEBREWS 10, 29 CALLS HIM THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.

HE'S THE NUMA OF HORUS, AMEN.

HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT, THE GRACE IS NOT A DOCTRINE,

GRACE IS A PERSON.

HE'S THE HOLY GHOST WHO HAS MANY ATTRIBUTES, AMEN.

SO WE'RE IN HIS TIME AND HIS JOB IS TO HELP US,

WHICH IS WHY IF YOU DON'T SPEAK IN TONGUES

WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING ME, PRAISE GOD.

YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

I SAID YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

AMEN, 'CAUSE YOU ARE DENYING YOURSELF OF A LOT OF HELP.

SO IT GOES ON TO SAY HERE, PRAISE GOD,

THAT HE PRAYS ACCORDING TO GOD, OR IN OTHER WORDS, GOD'S WILL.

BUT LET'S NOTICE WHAT ELSE HE SAYS HERE.

SO I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH,

UNDERLINING THE WORD ALL.

WHAT DOES ALL MEAN

YEAH, Y'ALL GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THAT.

ALL MEANS EVERYTHING.

HOW MUCH IS LEFT AFTER ALL

NOTHING, RIGHT

HE SAID, "I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH."

WHY DOES HE SAY THAT

BECAUSE UNDER THE OLD COVENANT, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,

ONLY JUST THE PROPHETS, PRIESTS, AND KINGS

REALLY HAD ACCESS TO THE SPIRIT.

THE COMMON ORDINARY MAN DID NOT HAVE THAT POURING OUT.

HE HAD TO GO TO THE PROPHET OF GOD,

KING OF GOD, PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME

BUT NOW WHAT THE CHANGE IS, IS THAT THE SPIRIT'S GONNA

COME UPON EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY.

IN OTHER WORDS, NOW YOU'RE A KING,

YOU'RE A PROPHET, YOU'RE A PRIEST,

AND YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE SPIRIT.

THOSE DOORS HAVE BEEN OPENED, PRAISE THE LORD.

HALLELUJAH. THE GLORY TO GOD.

AND SO WHAT'S THE RESULT

NOTICE HERE, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE UP NOW

ARE GONNA BE BORN AGAIN.

NOTICE THAT PETER LINKS SPEAKING IN TONGUES

IN THE UPPER ROOM WITH JOEL'S PROPHECY.

AMEN. NOW, OF COURSE, THE WORD

PROPHESY, PROFITUO, MEANS SPEAKING UNDER DIVINE,

NOT EARTHLY THINGS IN TONGUES.

SO SPEAKING IN TONGUES, PRAISE GOD, IS WHAT

IT IS A DIVINE, NOT EARTHLY LANGUAGE WHERE

YOUR MOUTH IS UTILIZED.

NOW WE MADE THE VERY IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD AND

HOW DOES GOD DO EVERYTHING

HE SAYS IT.

GOD SAID, "LIKE ME, LIKE WAS."

YOU MADE IN HIS IMAGE.

YOU SAY IT AND IT COMES TO PASS.

YOU MAY NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT HALLELUJAH,

YOU ARE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE AND LIKENESS.

YOU GOT GOD'S FORM AND YOU GOT GOD'S MANNER.

YOU'VE BEEN MADE A LITTLE GOD AND WHAT YOU SAY COMES TO PASS.

NOW WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A MESS

OR WHETHER OR NOT IT BECOMES A MIRACLE

DEPENDS ON WHAT IT IS YOU SAY.

AND WHEN YOU SAY IT, PRAISE THE LORD.

AMEN. NOW, WHEN WE READ

MARK 16, GO BACK OVER, KEEP YOUR FINGER

HERE IN THE ACTS 'CAUSE I'M COMING BACK TO ACTS.

AMEN, I'M A BIBLE TEACHER, SO IT TAKES ME A LITTLE

TIME TO GET THERE.

AMEN. PRAISE GOD THERE'S PREACHERS

AND THEN THERE'S TEACHERS.

THE PREACHER'S JOB IS TO INSPIRE.

AMEN. THE TEACHER'S JOB IS TO EXPLAIN.

SO MARK 16, PRAISE THE LORD.

NOTICE HERE, HE SAID, OF COURSE, THEY SHALL TAKE UP SERPENTS,

THEY DRINK THE DEADLY THINGS, SHALL NOT HURT THEM,

LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, THEY SHALL RECOVER.

SO THEN AFTER THE LORD HAS SPOKEN UNTO THEM,

HE WAS RECEIVED UP INTO HEAVEN AND SAT ON THE RIGHT HAND

OF GOD, THEY WENT FORTH AND PREACHED EVERYWHERE,

THE LORD WORKING WITH AND CONFIRMING THE WORD

WITH

(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

INDICATIONS FOLLOWING, AMEN.

SO THAT WORD WORKING WITH MEANS THEY COOPERATE

AND THEY WORK TOGETHER.

AND EVERYTHING IN THAT LIST, INCLUDING TONGUES,

IS PART OF WORKING TOGETHER WITH GOD.

NOW, WHEN YOU GO BACK TO ACTS CHAPTER TWO,

HE CONTINUES TO SAY, "I WILL POUR OUT MY

SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH.

"YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY.

"YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,

"AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS."

IN OTHER WORDS, HE SAID VISIONS AND DREAMS

WILL NOT BE JUST TO PROPHETS LIKE DANIEL,

BUT VISIONS AND DREAMS WILL BE TO ALL FILLED

WITH THE SPIRIT POTENTIALLY.

IN FACT, THE WORD VISIONS, HARESES, IS AN INSPIRED

APPEARANCE. IT CAN BE INTERNAL.

IT CAN BE EXTERNAL.

PRAISE GOD.

AND NOTICE HE SAID SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GOING AROUND SAYING, WELL, PAUL

SAID, YOU KNOW, WOMEN HAD TO KEEP SILENT.

SOMEBODY FORGOT TO TELL LUKE THIS, BECAUSE THEY

PROPHESY AND YOU CAN'T PROPHESY AND BE SILENT AT THE SAME

TIME. COME ON SOMEBODY.

AND ON MY SERVANTS AND ON MY HANDMAIDENS,

I WILL POUR OUT THOSE DAYS OF MY SPIRIT AND THEY, SONS

AND DAUGHTERS, SHALL PROPHESY.

IN FACT, PRAISE GOD, THE WORD SERVANT IS DOULOS, IS A SLAVE,

WHETHER YOU'RE INVOLUNTARILY OR VOLUNTARILY.

NOW ROMANS 6, 2, PAUL TALKS ABOUT THAT.

I'M A SLAVE OF GOD.

AMEN. I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS.

I'VE GIVEN UP ALL MY RIGHTS.

AMEN. ANYBODY ELSE HERE

IS A SLAVE TO GOD

I KNOW YOU'RE A SON.

AMEN. BUT YOU ALSO ATTITUDINALLY

SHOULD BE A SLAVE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS.

YOU TELL ME WHERE TO GO, YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO,

YOU TELL ME TO JUMP, PRAISE GOD I'LL JUMP.

YOU TELL ME HOW HIGH, THAT'S HOW HIGH I GO.

THAT'S ALL PART OF LORDSHIP.

LORDSHIP IS WHEN, PRAISE GOD, HE IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY

AND YOU ARE NOT AN AUTHORITY.

I MEAN, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE,

JESUS IS THEIR SAVIOR, BUT HE IS NOT THEIR LORD.

THEY STILL GOT THE I THINK ISMS.

YEAH, BUT I THINK.

YEAH, BUT I FEEL.

LORD, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HE DIDN'T TELL YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

HE JUST TOLD YOU TO DO IT.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

WOO.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

IN FACT, THE SPIRIT OF GOD TELLING ME RIGHT NOW,

THIS SERVER OF YOU RIGHT NOW, WE GOT BIG DECISIONS

ON THE INSIDE, AMEN, AND ON THE EXTERIOR, YOU

KNOW THE LORD'S PUSHING YOU TO DO CERTAIN THINGS RIGHT NOW,

AND YOU GOT THE ISM PROBLEM.

WELL, I THINK, I FEEL, I CAN'T SEE,

AND GOD SAYS, DO IT!

AMEN. YOU SEE, FAITH

HAS FIVE ELEMENTS.

FIRST OF ALL IS HEARING, ROMANS 10, 17.

SO THEN FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING.

THEN THERE'S RECEIVING, JAMES 1, 121.

RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE IMPLANTED WORD

WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE YOUR SOUL.

WHAT DOES THAT ENGRAFT OR IMPLANT IT MEANS

IT MEANS, AMEN, THERE'S A SEED IN THE GROUND

AND THAT TREE, HOWEVER, OR PLANT, THOUGH,

NEEDS SOMETHING TO KEEP IT SO THAT IT STAYS STRAIGHT.

YOU'VE ALL SEEN PLANTS DO THIS, AMEN.

WELL, IF YOU RECEIVE OR TAKE THE INGRAFT

OR PLANTED WORD, THE WORD KEEPS YOU THIS WAY,

GROWING STRAIGHT.

NO LEANING TO THE RIGHT, NO LEANING TO THE LEFT,

BUT YOU GOT TO BE WILLING TO RECEIVE IT FIRST.

WHY RECEIVE

BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR IT AND SAY NO, RIGHT

SO AS PRAISE GOD, HEAR, RECEIVE.

NOW WE COME TO BELIEVE, AMEN.

PRAISE THE LORD.

NOW THAT YOU'VE ACCEPTED THIS IS INDEED THE FACT,

FAITH IS OF THE HEART.

THAT'S WHEN YOU DECIDE, I'M GONNA BELIEVE THIS 100%.

AND THEN THIS IS WHERE YOUR MOUTH COMES IN.

AMEN, HOW YOU GOT SAVED.

YOU HEARD THE WORD, YOU BELIEVE WITH YOUR HEART,

SAY WITH YOUR MOUTH.

SO YOUR MOUTH IS PART OF YOUR WHOLE DELIVERANCE.

HENCE THIS MESSAGE BY THE TIME I GET TO THE END OF IT.

YOUR DELIVERANCE IS IN YOUR MOUTH.

NOW SOME OF YOU HAVE A MESS RIGHT NOW, MAN.

YOU IN SOME MESS AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I GOT HERE.

AND YOUR MOUTH WAS THE START POINT OF IT.

YOU SAID TO HIM, YOU SAID TO HER, YOU SAID TO THEM,

AND YOU SAID ABOUT THIS.

AND WHAT YOU SAID, PRAISE GOD, OUTSIDE THE CHURCH

THEN LINE UP WITH THE STUFF YOU SAY IN THE CHURCH.

(CONGREGATION MURMURS)

HALLELUJAH, EXCEPT THE DEVIL HEARD IT,

AND GOD HEARD IT, AND ANGELS HEARD IT.

ANGELS HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF THE WORD,

BUT THEY DON'T HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF ISMS.

(CONGREGATION CHEERS)

AMEN. DEMONS HEARKEN TO

THE ISMS THOUGH.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU SAY, I CAN'T, I WON'T, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SATAN SAID, THERE YOU GO, YOU OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME,

AND LET ME COME IN AND KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY.

RIGHT SO IT'S HEARING, RECEIVING,

BELIEVING, SPEAKING.

THEN HERE'S THE ONE PEOPLE HAVE THE MOST PROBLEM WITH,

JAMES 1:22.

James 1:22

PRAISE GOD, BE DOERS OF THE WORD AND NOT HEARERS ONLY.

FAITH IS ACTING ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

OKAY, AMEN

PRAISE GOD.

SO HE SAYS THIS ABOUT THIS.

NOW, ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES, HOWEVER,

WITH THE OFFICE OF THE PROPHET, AND WHAT PRAISE

GOD IS SAID HERE, IS THAT WHEN THE PROPHET

SPEAKS, WE KNOW WHAT HE SAID.

WHEN YOU'RE PRAYING IN TONGUES, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SAID,

UNLESS YOU'RE GIVEN INTERPRETATION, RIGHT

VERSE 14, TWO, IT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

BUT WHY IS PROPHECY NECESSARY

IT'S NECESSARY TO PRODUCE GOSPEL ON THE EARTH

DURING THE EARTHLY'S TIME.

CONTROL OF YOUR MOUTH MATTERS.

NOW TURN TO JAMES CHAPTER THREE.

CAN I GET THREE PRAISE THE LORD SOMEBODY

PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD.

JAMES CHAPTER THREE, AND NOTICE, PRAISE GOD,

HE SAYS IN VERSE ONE, "BE NOT MANY MASTERS OR TEACHERS,

"NOR WE SHALL RECEIVE GREATER JUDGMENT,

"FOR IN MANY THINGS WE OFFEND ALL.

"IF ANY MAN OFFEND NOT IN WORD, "THE SAME IS A PERFECT

OR MATURE MAN."

AND WATCH THIS, HE IS ABLE TO CONTROL HIS WHOLE BODY.

SO HE SAID, "RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SPEAK HEALTH

"INTO YOUR BODY OR YOU CAN SPEAK SICKNESS,

"DEPENDING ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR MOUTH.

"WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE MOVED BY WHAT YOU SEE,

"WHAT YOU FEEL, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE."

SO SAY IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I'M HEALED.

COME ON CHURCH, SAY I'M HEALED FROM THE CROWN OF MY

HEAD TO THE SOLES OF MY FEET.

MAN, MY BRAIN'S HEALED, MY EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH'S

HEALED, MY TEETH, TONGUE, GUMS HEALED, MY VOICE BOX,

VOICE, THROAT AND NECK'S HEALED, MY HEART, LIVER,

COLON, PANCREAS, URINARY TRACT, LIVER, LUNGS,

PROSTATE'S HEALED, MY BLOOD PRESSURE'S NORMAL, MY SUGAR

COUNT'S NORMAL, MY IMMUNE SYSTEM IS STRONG, HALLELUJAH.

IT REPELS ALL INVADERS THAT COMES AGAINST IT.

NO GROWTH, KNOTS, CYSTS, LUMPS, TUMORS, NO RASHES, NO

GOUT, NO STONES, NO CATARACTS, NO CANCERS, NO POLYPS, NO

ARTHRITIS, HAS NO POWER OVER ME AND MY BODY.

THEY'RE OF THE CURSE, I'M OF THE BLESSING, IT'S OF THE

BLESSING IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

MY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLES, HALLELUJAH.

THAT'S WHAT I SAY EVERY MORNING.

HALLELUJAH. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY MOUTH

IS A MACHINE GUN TO THE DEVIL AND I DON'T WANNA

PUT BLANKS IN IT.

I WANT SOME HIGH CALIBER ROUNDS, GLORY TO GOD,

TO WORK UPON MY BODY AND DRIVE OUT WHATEVER SICKNESS

OR DISEASE THE ENEMY'S GOT PLANNED.

HALLELUJAH, SOMEBODY.

SO HE SAID, "NOW, IF YOU DON'T MESS UP WITH YOUR MOUTH,

"KEEP READING HIM."

THEN HE TALKS ABOUT HOW YOU TURN A BIG OLD HORSE,

BUT THEN IN VERSE FIVE, "EVEN SO THE TONGUE MAY BE LITTLE,

"BUT IT BOAST OF GREAT THINGS, "HOW GREAT A MATTER A

LITTLE FIRE CAN ALOOF."

MY DADDY WAS A MISSISSIPPI FARM BOY.

AMEN, ONE OF 11 KIDS, HIS PARENTS DIED WHEN HE WAS A KID.

AMEN. AND SO HE USED TO TAKE ME

DOWN THERE TO MISSISSIPPI IN THE SUMMER.

HE WANTED ME TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE MY PEOPLE

IN MISSISSIPPI, HIS PEOPLE, MY PEOPLE IN MISSISSIPPI,

THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY HOT RUNNING WATER, LIVING

REALLY A SHANTY SHACK.

THEY HAD A THREE-HOLE OUTHOUSE.

SOME OF Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

NO LIGHTS, YOU KNOW.

SO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,

MAN, IF YOU GOT TO GO, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING

ABOUT, MISSISSIPPI DELTA

IT'S SO DARK OUT THERE, YOU CAN'T SEE ME

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

YOU KNOW THOSE OF US WHO ARE A LITTLE BROWN SKINNED

Y'ALL SHOULDN'T LAUGH AT US 'CAUSE Y'ALL LAY ON THE BEACH

TRYING TO LOOK LIKE US.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

SAY IT LOUD.

I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

I'M JUST KIDDING.

DROP YOUR ROCKS, DON'T THROW NOTHING AT ME.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

MAN, AT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING,

YOU GONNA GET UP AND YOU GONNA GO OUT THERE,

YOU CAN'T SEE NOTHING.

AND YOU GONNA FIND YOUR, WE DIDN'T HAVE CELL

PHONES AND ALL, YOU KNOW THAT'S STILL RIGHT.

AND YOU GONNA GO OUT THERE, AND THERE'S NOTHING BUT

THREE HOLES IN THE GROUND.

AMEN AND YOU CAN'T SEE NOTHING.

YOU COULD HEAR SOMETHING.

HOW'D I GET ON THAT

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THOUGH, PRAISE GOD.

HE SAID THE TONGUE IS A FIRE, IS A WORLD OF INIQUITY

AMONG OUR BODY PARTS.

AND IT DEFILETH, IT STAINS OR SOILS THE ENTIRE BODY.

AND IT SETS ON FIRE THE WILL OF NATURE.

SO A LOT OF OUR PROBLEMS COME ABOUT BECAUSE OF OUR MOUTH.

THIS IS WHY GOD WANTS YOUR MOUTH.

ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE WHOLE ISSUE

WITH SPEAKING WITH TONGUES IS BECAUSE JESUS SAID,

"LET YOUR YEA BE YEA."

HE SAID, "LET YOUR NAY BE NAY, "ANYTHING ELSE IS OF THE DEVIL."

SO SATAN'S TRYING TO GET YOU TO TALK A LOT.

'CAUSE HE KNOWS THE POWER OF THOSE WORDS.

BUT INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING THE NATURAL STUFF,

YOU JUST (SPEAKING IN TONGUES).

YOU START SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES, PRAISE GOD, AMEN.

AND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS THAT YOU HAVE STOPPED

WHAT THE ENEMY'S TRYING TO GET YOU TO DO,

AND YOU GOT GOD COMING IN ON THE SCENE

ON THE VERY THING THAT MAKE YOU START.

I MEAN, SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS SOMETHING, PRAISE GOD,

IS ARMAMENT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED

TO USE ALL DAY LONG.

PAUL SAID, "I SPEAK WITH TONGUES MORE THAN THE WHOLE

"CHURCH OF CORINTH COMBINED."

NO WONDER THE GUY, GOD USED THIS MAN TO PIN TWO THIRDS

OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, HALLELUJAH,

AND ONE OF THE GREATEST MEN WHO EVER WALKED

ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

BUT IF YOU SPEAK WITH TONGUES MORE THAN THE WHOLE CHURCH

COMBINED, THAT MEANS THE MAN GOT UP SPEAKING IN TONGUES

RIGHT AFTER BREAKFAST, HE SPOKE IN TONGUES.

WENT TO THE BATHROOM, HE SPOKE IN TONGUES.

BUT THE MAN, HE'S ON HIS DONKEY SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

I MEAN, HE'S WHEREVER HE'S GOING, HE'S SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

I MEAN, UNTIL HE'S SLEEPING, HE'S SPEAKING IN

TONGUES THE WHOLE TIME.

AND THEN HE SAID ABOUT THAT, PRAISE GOD,

SPEAKING IN TONGUES DOES WHAT

WELL, TURN TO 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 14, MAKE IT CHAPTER 12.

1 Corinthians 14 · chapter mention

AMEN. HALLELUJAH.

NOW I KNOW YOU KNOW ALL THIS, BUT THE LORD TOLD ME TO

REMIND YOU OF ALL THIS.

AMEN. JUST LIKE HE SAID WITH PETER,

I'LL PUT YOU IN REMEMBRANCE OF THESE THINGS,

THOUGH YOU KNOW IT, SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE ESTABLISHED

IN THE PRESENT TRUTH.

HE USED THE WORD PRESENT TRUTH BECAUSE THIS CAN BE

SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, BUT THE SHARPNESS OF IT

HAS GOTTEN AWAY FROM YOU.

WE CAN LET THINGS SLIP, THE WORD SAID IN HEBREWS 2.

BUT WHAT GOD WANTS COMING DOWN THE STRETCH HERE,

HE WANTS US TO DOUBLE UP.

TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR, WE NEED TO DOUBLE UP.

TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR ON THE OTHER SIDE,

HE WANTS YOU TO DOUBLE UP.

TURN IN FRONT OF YOU OR BACK OF YOU,

SAY HE WANTS YOU TO DOUBLE UP.

COMING DOWN THE HOME STRETCH, GOD WANTS US TO COME

TO A HIGHER LEVEL.

HE WANTS US TO RAISE OUR GAME.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME

HE WANTS US IN THE REGULAR SEASON IS ONE THING.

IF YOU GOT THE GREEN BAY PACKERS PLAYING

IN THE REGULAR SEASON, THAT'S ONE THING.

BUT ONCE YOU GET OVER INTO THE PLAYOFFS, BABY,

YOU'RE GONNA GET OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND

UNLESS YOU LIFT UP YOUR GAME.

YOU'VE GOT TO, IN THE PLAYOFFS, YOU'VE GOT TO RAISE YOUR GAME.

WE'RE GOING DOWN TO THE END OF THINGS NOW.

GOD WANTS US TO RAISE OUR GAME.

WE'RE COMING INTO THE PLAYOFFS.

WE NEED MORE PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT.

WE NEED MORE ARTILLERY GOING UP AND BOOM.

WE NEED MORE OF THE ACCURACY, HALLELUJAH,

TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW.

GOD WANTS YOU TO RAISE YOUR GAME, EVEN

THOUGH YOU MIGHT KNOW IT, YOU'VE GOT TO DOUBLE UP RIGHT NOW,

YOU'VE GOT TO TRIPLE UP RIGHT NOW, YOU'VE GOT TO LET THE

HOLY GHOST FLOW THROUGH YOU, HALLELUJAH, AND TAKE DOWN THE

DEVIL, HALLELUJAH.

GOD IS CHALLENGING YOU RIGHT NOW.

RAISE YOUR GAME.

NOTICE WHAT HE SAID, PRAISE GOD, 1 CORINTHIANS 12.

WE ALL KNOW THESE VERSES, VERSE 27,

"YE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, MEMBERS IN PARTICULAR."

GOD SET IN THE CHURCH, FIRST APOSTLES,

SECONDARILY PROPHETS, THANK GOD FOR THEM,

THIRDLY TEACHERS, AFTER THAT MIRACLES AND GIFTS OF HEALING.

THAT'S USUALLY NOTED AS AN EVANGELIST.

HELPS, AND I WANT YOU TO NOTE THIS, SEE THIS,

HELPS IS BEFORE GOVERNMENTS.

GOVERNMENTS IS GENERALLY NOTED AS THE PASTORAL OFFICE,

BUT HELPS CAME BEFORE IT.

WHY WORD HELPS MEANS ASSISTS.

BECAUSE THE PASTORAL OFFICE CANNOT OPERATE WITHOUT HELPS.

IF PEOPLE SITTING HOME JUST WATCHING ON TV ALONE

AND NOT GOING TO CHURCH, THEY ARE DEPRIVING THE CHURCH

OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OF HELP.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME

AMEN. FELLOWSHIP AND ASSISTANCE

THAT YOUR PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS NEEDED.

NOW SOME PEOPLE JUST TURN THEIR COMPUTER OFF, WELL.

GOVERNMENT'S OFFICE OF THE PASTOR,

NOT WHERE I'M GOING THOUGH, BUT NOTICE THIS.

GOVERNMENT'S DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES.

THE WORD DIVERSITY IS THE GREEK WORD, GENOS.

GENOS MEANS BORN FROM.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE PROPHET'S OFFICE, THE EVANGELIST'S OFFICE,

THE PASTOR'S OFFICE, THE TEACHER'S OFFICE,

EVEN THE HELPS ARE BORN OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

PRAYING IN TONGUES.

IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN YOU PRAYING FOR YOURSELF.

YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, BUT SOMEBODY,

IF YOU ARE CALLED IN ONE OF THESE OFFICES, GOD SOMEWHERE HAS

SOMEBODY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT.

SOMEBODY WAS PRAYING IN TONGUES MAYBE BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN BORN.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOUR GRANDMAMA, HALLELUJAH,

OR YOUR GREAT GRANDMAMA PRAYING IN THE HOLY

GHOST, HALLELUJAH.

AND GOD HELD THAT PRAYER BECAUSE HE NEVER FORGETS THOSE PRAYERS

JUST LIKE HE DON'T FORGET YOUR GIVING.

GOD REMEMBERS THOSE PRAYERS, HALLELUJAH.

AND HE MAY ANSWER THAT PRAYER RIGHT HERE

AT THE END OF TIME, HALLELUJAH, AND BRING BRING YOU ABOUT WITH

THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY GHOST.

THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY GHOST.

I SAID THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY GHOST.

AMEN. HERE TO TELL YOU SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS NOT A NOT

JUST SOME DEVOTIONAL THING HERE.

GO WHERE THE GOD.

WHOA. WHOA.

HALLELUJAH. AMEN.

LET'S GO BACK TO JAMES CHAPTER THREE.

Y'ALL SHOULDN'T DO THAT WITH ME WITH

THAT ORGAN.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAME FROM

I CAME FROM THE OLD PENTECOSTAL CHURCH.

YOU KNOW HOW THE LORD KNOWS YOU'RE DOWN SITTING

THERE. AND HE KNOWS YOU'RE UP RISING.

AND AHHH.

YEAH. DON'T DO THAT TO ME NOW.

DON'T DO THAT.

THAT'S WHERE I COME FROM.

I DON'T DO THAT NO MORE.

EXCEPT, UH, JUST IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.

BUT, I AIN'T READY FOR THAT.

I'M STILL TEACHING THOUGH, OKAY

BUT, OOH, LORD, Y'ALL STIRRING ME UP NOW.

I GOTTA FINISH THE TEACHING PART HERE.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

WHERE DID I TELL YOU EVEN TO GO

JAMES 3, AGAIN, PRAISE THE LORD.

AMEN. Y'ALL SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT TO ME.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE TALKED ABOUT HOW IT DEFILED THE WHOLE BODY.

I KNOW IT'S VERSE EIGHT, BUT THE TONGUE CAN NO MAN TAME.

WHAT ONE TRANSLATION SAYS IT CAN'T

BE TAMED WITH NATURAL POWER.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR TONGUE,

WHICH IS HITCHED TO EITHER THE MESS OR THE MIRACLE.

AMEN, BY YOURSELF.

NO WONDER HE SENT THE HELP OF THE HOLY GHOST.

HE SAID, "IT IS AN UNRULY EVIL.

"THAT TONGUE IS FULL OF DEADLY POISON,

"AND THAT THING'S IN MY MOUTH."

HE SAID, "THEREFORE, BLESS WE GOD, EVEN THE FATHER,

"AND THEREWITH CURSE WE MEN, "WHICH ARE MADE AFTER

THE SEMITURE OF GOD, "OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH, PROCEED

TO BLESSING AND CURSING."

AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHURCH.

OUT OF THEIR MOUTH, THEY DO BOTH.

THEY COME TO CHURCH AND DO ALL THE CONFESSIONS.

THEY GO HOME AND SAY JUST THE OPPOSITE.

THEN THEY COME BACK TO CHURCH AND SPEAK ALL THE

BLESSINGS OF THE LORD.

THEN THEY GO HOME, AND AS SOON AS SATAN

PUTS A LITTLE PRESSURE ON THEM, THEY START SPEAKING

THE OPPOSITE.

SEE, JESUS SAID IN THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER,

IN MATTHEW 13, MARK 4, LUKE 8, PARABLE OF THE SOWER,

HE SAID SATAN COMES AND ATTACKS THE CHURCH WITH FIVE THINGS.

FIRST ONE WAS AFFLICTION, THALIPSIS, AMEN.

THAT IS CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE TOUGH AND BAD, AMEN.

CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SECOND ONE WAS PERSECUTION.

THAT'S WHEN HE USES PEOPLE TO BRING THE CIRCUMSTANCE.

THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS CARE OF THIS WORLD.

THAT WORD IS DISTRACTIONS.

SO IF HE CAN'T DISTRACT YOU WITH USING THE POWER GAME

OF AFFLICTION OR PERSECUTION, THEN HE'LL TRY AND GET YOUR

ATTENTION ONTO SOMETHING ELSE.

AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS.

IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

HALLELUJAH.

BUT YOU KNOW, I GOT SAVED THAT WAY.

Y'ALL HEAR THIS STORY

I DIDN'T TELL IT THIS WEEK AT COPELAND'S, SO I HADN'T

EVEN TOLD IT RIGHT UP THERE.

SO YOU KNOW HOW I GOT SAVED

I'M COMING DOWN THE HOME STRETCH WITH THIS.

BUT I WAS A BAPTIST KID, AND I TOLD MY MAMA

I WAS NEVER GOING TO A CHURCH AGAIN.

I WAS 14.

I SAID, I AIN'T GOING TO NO CHURCH.

I WAS JUST TURNED OFF TO CHURCH.

I AIN'T GOING TO NO CHURCH.

NOW, OF COURSE, AT MY AGE, I'LL BE 70 IN ABOUT A COUPLE DAYS.

WOW. SO-- WELL, THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

SO BUT SEE, IN MY GENERATION, YOU DIDN'T

SAY NOTHING TO PARENTS.

MY GENERATION.

SO WHEN I SAID, I AIN'T GOING BACK TO CHURCH AGAIN,

NOW MY MOM'S ABOUT 4'10", 4'11", YOU GET IT

RIGHT SO I'M TOWERING OVER HER,

AND I AIN'T GOING TO CHURCH.

SHE REACHED UP.

[LAUGHTER]

YOU DON'T TELL ME WHERE YOU GOING TO GO, BOY.

YOU EAT MY FOOD.

YOU WEAR MY CLOTHES.

YOU DO WHAT-- YOU DO WHAT I-- YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID

[CLAP] BOY.

THESE KIDS DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS.

THEY BE SENDING THEIR PARENTS TO JAIL NOWADAYS.

WHEN I GREW UP, MAN.

SO, YOU KNOW, SO I WENT TO CHURCH UNDER PROTEST.

BECAUSE SHE ALSO TOLD ME, SHE SAID, "NOW, YOU GET

YOUR BUTT OUT OF HERE."

I WASN'T READY TO LIVE ON THE STREET YET, SO.

SO I WENT TO CHURCH, YOU KNOW, I WAS DOWN TO PROTEST, MAN,

BUT I WASN'T PAYING NO ATTENTION AT ALL.

ONLY THING I WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO WAS THEM GIRLS.

ALL THE BROTHERS SAID.

I GOT AN HONEST MAN HERE.

SOMEBODY IS HONEST, THANK YOU, LORD.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'M PAYING ATTENTION TO, THE GIRLS.

WELL, SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED IN THAT

I HAD A PENTECOSTAL, CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST UNCLE.

NOW HE TRIED WITNESSING TO ME AND I, GET AWAY FROM ME.

I KNOW JESUS AND ALL THAT TONGUE, Y'ALL TONGUE STUFF.

THEY TOLD ME Y'ALL ARE THE DEVIL, RIGHT

AND SO, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE LOST HIS LIFE

AND COMING HOME FROM A REVIVAL MEETING.

SO WE WENT TO THE CHURCH, AMEN, AND WHEN WE WENT TO THE CHURCH,

THIS CHURCH HAD THESE HUGE STEPS,

ALMOST LIKE A 30% GRADE, YOU KNOW.

SO WE'RE GOING UP THESE STEPS AND WHEN YOU GOT DOWN,

IT HAD A CENTER AISLE, DOWN THE CENTER AISLE THERE'S THE

CLOTHES CASKET BECAUSE HE GOT

ENTANGLED WITH AN 18-WHEELER, NOT GOOD.

AND SO YOU GOT A CLOTHES CASKET

UP THERE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE AISLE AND THERE

ARE PEOPLE DANCING IN THE AISLE.

AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE MOST GROTESQUE THING I HAD

EVER SEEN.

IT MADE ME MAD.
