THE KING OF KINGS, THE LORD OF LORDS, AND THE GREAT I AM? ALL

A JOKE FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE YOU GOTTA KEEP IT GOING. RIGHT, ARE

FOOTBALL ON ALL DAY? - NO, I STARTED THE FIRST DAY

THEY ASSIGNED IT. - YEAH, SO I KINDA HAD A GIFT TO

WRITE A TERM PAPER A NIGHT BEFORE AND

STILL GET AN A ON IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS, MAN.

YOU CAN ASK PASTOR BRENDA, THAT IS CONFIRMATION. I'M TELLING

YOU, I'M NOT LYING TO YOU WHEN I SAY THAT. BUT WE'RE WORKING ON A

BOOK, YOU AND I. AND SO WE ARE RELEASING A BOOK TOGETHER, HIM

AND I, AND IT'S GONNA BE VERY POWERFUL. AND SHOULD WE SAY THE

TITLE OR DO YOU WANNA WAIT? -NO, I THINK WE MAKE 'EM WAIT.

ABOUT STEPPING INTO THE POWER OF THE GAME-CHANGER CYCLE,

AND WHAT THAT IS IS YOU'RE BREAKING GENERATIONAL

CURSES THAT HAVE HELD YOU BACK, BREAKING DRY SEASONS, AND COMING

JONATHAN, WE LOVE YOU. GO CLIMB A MOUNTAIN, REWARD YOURSELF,

THROW DOWN A BIG TOMAHAWK STEAK TOMORROW. AND HE'S ABOUT 30 DAYS

IN JESUS' NAME. ARE YOU READY TO WORSHIP THIS MORNING? AMEN.

PASTOR ANTHONY, TAKE IT AWAY, BROTHER.

(MUSIC)

ALL RIGHT, LORD OF HOSTS, LET'S RAISE IT UP TODAY. WE'RE

EXPECTING THE MIRACLES OF GOD TO BE USHERED OUT. LET'S GO.

(MUSIC)

OKAY, EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE, PUT YOUR HANDS

TOGETHER. YOU GOTTA GIVE HIM PRAISE. SEE, WE GOTTA LET THE

DEVIL KNOW THAT WE KNOW WHO THE KING OF KINGS IS AND THE LORD OF

LORDS IS. AND YOU GOTTA SHOW IT IN SOME EXPRESSIONS. I NEED YOU

(MUSIC)

(PIANO PLAYING)

LORD, WE WANT YOU MORE THAN EVER, LORD. WE'RE DESPERATE FOR

YOU, KING OF KINGS. YOU'RE A VITAL NECESSITY WE HAVE TO HAVE.

YES, THE WORLD WILL BOW DOWN AND SAY, "YUHAKKA." EVERY MAN

(PIANO PLAYING)

LET'S KEEP PRAISING HIM. LET'S KEEP SINGING TO HIM THIS

MORNING. HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU, FATHER. WE WORSHIP YOU THIS

MORNING. HALLELUJAH! TO YOU, BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT.

(FADING MUSIC)

I WANT TO DO SOMETHING I BELIEVED LAST WEEK. THE

PASTOR'S BEEN TEACHING US ABOUT THE LIFTING UP OF OUR HANDS. HOW

MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN PRACTICING THAT? HALLELUJAH! SO

WE'RE GONNA DO IT. THE BIBLE SAYS THE LIFTING UP OF YOUR

HANDS IS NOT JUST FOR A SURRENDER. THERE'S A PROPHETIC

MEANING. BOOK OF PSALM 141, KING DAVID SAYS, "LET THE LIFTING OF

MY HANDS BE LIKE AN EVENING SACRIFICE." IF YOU GO BACK, THE

LORD HAS INSTRUCTED HIS PEOPLE TO BRING SACRIFICE IN THE

EVENING FOR THEIR NEEDS TO BE MET. SO I'M GONNA ENCOURAGE YOU,

THERE'S A PROPHETIC GRACE UPON THE HOUSE. THERE'S A HEALING

ANOINTING PRESENT IN THIS ROOM TO REMOVE THAT INFIRMITY OUT OF

YOUR BODY. BUT I WANT US TO TAKE A TIME TO THANK HIM. LET'S ALL

LIFT UP OUR HANDS THIS MORNING. IF YOU ARE WATCHING IT IN YOUR

LIVING ROOM, YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING. BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM.

BEGIN TO THANK HIM. HE HAS DELIVERED YOU FROM THAT ISSUE

AND BROUGHT YOU INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS BELOVED SON, JESUS. THANK

HIM RIGHT NOW. BEGIN TO THANK JESUS. THANK GOD FOR THE

PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS. BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM. THANK HIM FOR

YOUR MIRACLE IS IN THIS ROOM. YOUR SAFE TIME TO BE FREE IS

TODAY, NOT TOMORROW, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS UPON THIS

HOUSE. THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS IN THIS PLACE. THE ANOINTING OF GOD

IS SO STRONG IN THIS HOUSE. OH, FATHER, WE THANK YOU. WE GIVE

YOU PRAISE. WE LIFT UP OUR HANDS BEFORE YOU. WE ARE CELEBRATING

YOUR GOODNESS, YOUR KINDNESS. THANK YOU, FATHER, FOR YOUR

BLOOD THAT WAS POURED OUT UPON THE MERCY SEAT FOR HER TO BE

FREE, FOR HER TO BE HEALED, TO BE FORGIVEN. WE LIFT UP OUR

HANDS BEFORE YOU. WE SAY THANK YOU AS A SIGN OF VICTORY OVER

HELL, OVER EVERY ATTACK FROM HELL. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE

ARE FREE. WE CELEBRATE YOU. WE CELEBRATE YOUR NAME IN THIS

HOUSE. HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH. BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM. PRAISE HIS

NAME. YOU ARE FREE. YOU ARE HEALED. YOU ARE DELIVERED. YOU

ARE THE KARAMA SOBRE. BLESS HIS NAME. LIFT UP HIS NAME. DON'T BE

TIRED. PRAISE HIM THIS MORNING. I KNOW WHAT THE LORD CAN DO TO

YOU, FOR YOU THIS MORNING. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, FATHER WE

THANK YOU. YOU HAVE DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF SATAN. YOU

BROUGHT US INTO THE KINGDOM, THE GLORIOUS KINGDOM THAT'S BEEN

GIVEN. WE HAVE ACCESS AS MOSES LIFT UP HIS HANDS OVER THE

WORLD. WE LIFT UP OUR HANDS OVER EVERY SITUATION IN THIS ROOM AND

THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING THIS MORNING. FATHER WE PROPHESY FROM

THE PROPHETIC GRACE UPON OUR PASTORS THIS MORNING. WE

PROPHESY LET THE EAST WIND COME UPON EVERY ISSUE AND DRIVE THE

ENEMY OUT OF OUR LIVES OR OUT OF OUR HOMES. IN THE NAME OF JESUS

WE DECREE AND DECLARE THAT VICTORY IS OURS. WE PROPHESY

THAT WE ARE VICTORIOUS. VICTORY IS OURS. VICTORY, IT IS MINE AND

MY HOUSEHOLD. VICTORY IS OURS. IN THE NAME OF JESUS. SO WE'RE

GONNA DO THE LAST THING FOR SAKE OF TIME. I WANT TO SHOUT, LET

HELL HEAR YOU THIS MORNING THAT YOU ARE VICTORIOUS. LET THE

HEAVEN MOVE IN YOUR BEHALF. THE BIBLE SAYS, SHOUT AND THE

JERICHO WALL WILL COME DOWN. LET'S ALL BEGIN TO SHOUT, CALL

UPON THE NAME JESUS. HALLELUJAH. KEEP SHOUTING, KEEP SHOUTING,

KEEP SHOUTING. HALLELUJAH. (MUSIC AND CHEERING)

- YOU STAY UP THERE WITH ME FOR A MINUTE, PASTOR DOJI.

WHAT A POWERFUL TIME IT IS IN THE ANOINTING. I JUST, I FELT AN

UNCTION THIS MORNING THAT WE NEED TO PRAY OVER THE STATE OF

NEBRASKA LOCAL GOVERNMENT. AND I WANT EVERYONE THAT REPRESENTS

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, PLEASE COME UP HERE QUICKLY. LINCOLN,

NEBRASKA IS OUR STATE CAPITAL. WE HAVE SOME LINCOLN PEOPLE THAT

COME IN EVERY WEEK. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WE HAVE HERE THIS

MORNING. WE HAVE A LOT THAT WATCH ONLINE THAT TUNE IN FROM

LINCOLN. AND YOU GUYS ARE AMBASSADORS. YOU WERE PLANTED IN

THAT CITY FOR A PURPOSE. AND I KNOW YOU ARE A GROUP OF

INTERCESSORS ALSO FOR THAT CITY, FOR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN THAT

CITY, BUT ALSO FOR GOVERNMENT. AND IT'S ALSO THE CENTER OF THE

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. AND A LOT COMES OUT OF OUR EDUCATION,

GOOD OR BAD. BUT IT'S ALL IMPORTANT. WE HAVE A GOOD GROUP.

GIVE THESE PEOPLE A HAND. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) I

BELIEVE GOD HAS STATIONED YOU STRATEGICALLY IN THAT CITY FOR A

PURPOSE, AND THEN CONNECTED YOU WITH A PROPHETIC HOUSE FOR A

PURPOSE. AND YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE AND SEE SOME THINGS, AND

WE'RE GONNA SEE SOME TURNING TOWARDS GOD AND FAITH IN THAT

CITY, BUT ALSO IN OUR STATE. NEBRASKA IS STRATEGIC. IT'S THE

CENTER OF THE NATION. IT'S A STRATEGIC STATE, AND WE NEED

GOOD THINGS TO COME FORTH IN OUR STATE GOVERNMENT, AND WE'RE

COMMANDED BY THE WORD TO PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY OVER US.

SO, PASTOR DOJI, WHAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO, PASTOR MATT, I'M

GONNA ASK YOU TO JOIN ME, AND WE'RE GONNA JUST QUICKLY LAY

HANDS ON THESE, BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE BLESSED TODAY AS THEY

ARE IN THAT POSITION. BUT PASTOR DOJI, I WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR OUR

ONLINE AUDIENCE. ALSO PRAY OVER NEBRASKA, BUT THEN PRAY FOR THE

ONLINE AUDIENCE, WHEREVER THEY ARE AT IN THEIR STATES, IT'S

IMPORTANT FOR THEM. SO YOU PRAY AND BLESS THEM, AND PASTOR MATT

AND I WILL GO DOWN AND LAY HANDS ON THESE QUICKLY.

- IN THE NAME OF JESUS, FATHER, WE THANK YOU, LORD, BECAUSE THE

MIGHTY NAME THAT'S BEEN GIVEN UNTO US, YOU SEE, WHATEVER WE

PUT ON OUR FEET, THAT TERRITORY BELONG TO YOU AND BELONG TO US.

SO IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE PRAY FOR EVERY CITY. WE PRAY FOR

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA THIS MORNING. WE TAKE AUTHORITY. WE COMMAND

EVERY EVIL AGENDA TO BE DRIVEN OUT. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE

RELEASE THE HOST, THE ANGELS OF GOD, TO DRIVE OUT EVERY OFFICIAL

AND GODLY OFFICIAL. LET IT BE UNSEATED. IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

WE RELEASE RIGHTEOUSNESS OVER EVERY CITY, OVER EVERY STATE. IN

THE NAME OF JESUS, WE DECREE AND DECLARE THAT THE NAME OF JESUS

SHALL BE GLORIFIED. RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL PREVAIL IN

LINCOLN. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE SPREAD PEACE OVER EVERY

STREET. WE DECREE AND DECLARE THAT THE GLORY OF GOD, AS THE

ANGELS OF GOD WAS RELEASED OVER SODOM AND GOMORRAH, WE RELEASE

YOUR HOSTS TO PATROL IN EVERY STREET, TO PATROL IN EVERY

GOVERNMENTAL BUILDING RIGHT NOW. LET RIGHTEOUSNESS PREVAIL. LET

RIGHTEOUSNESS PREVAIL IN THE NAME OF JESUS. WE DECREE AND

DECLARE YOUR GLORY, YOUR GLORY, YOUR GLORY IN EVERY GOVERNMENT,

YOUR EVERY STATE, EVERY CITY IN THE NAME OF JESUS. WE DECREE AND

DECLARE THAT YOUR NAME SHALL BE ESTABLISHED AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

SHALL PREVAIL. IF YOU BELIEVE IT BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM RIGHT NOW.

-AMEN. GIVE HIM ANOTHER SHOUT. HALLELUJAH. GOD BLESS YOU.

YOU CAN BE SEATED, LINCOLN GROUP. THANK YOU. YOU LEAVE THIS

PLACE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME. WELL, BEFORE YOU ARE SEATED

TODAY, LET ME THINK. I'VE GOT TO THINK OF A PASTOR, HANK. I'LL

TELL YOU WHAT, TELL THREE PEOPLE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR

LUNCH TODAY. AND SHAKE THEIR HANDS. AND ONLINE AUDIENCE,

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. (MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

WELL, GOOD MORNING, CHURCH. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

WE'RE SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN GOD'S HOUSE THIS MORNING.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME TO LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH,

WELCOME. USHERS ARE IN THE AISLE WITH A BLUE GIFT

BAG FOR YOU IN IT, SOME AWESOME GIFTS JUST FOR YOU, BUT MOST

IMPORTANTLY, A GUEST CARD THAT HAS A PICTURE OF THE STAGE. WE

INVITE YOU, IF YOU HAVE YOUR BAG, TO TAKE IT OUT NOW. IN IT,

YOU'LL FIND ALL THE INFORMATION OF THIS MINISTRY, AND

IMPORTANTLY, THERE'S A BRIGHT ORANGE GUEST CARD. WE INVITE YOU

AT THIS TIME TO TEAR IT OUT AND FILL OUT THE INFORMATION, DROP

IT OFF IN THE OFFERING BASKET WHEN IT DOES COME. WE'D LIKE TO

SEND YOU A THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY, GET TO KNOW YOU A LITTLE

MORE, AND WE JUST THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY. IF YOU'RE WATCHING

ONLINE IN ANY OF OUR PLATFORMS, ROKU, AMAZON FIRE, YOUTUBE,

FACEBOOK, AND THEY SHOULD BE ON THE SCREEN NOW, WE THANK YOU AND

WE WANT YOU TO TUNE IN TO ONEVOICETV.NET. IT'S A GREAT

PLATFORM PASTORS PUT TOGETHER JUST TO HAVE A 24/7 ACCESSIBLE

PLACE TO GO AND GET GREAT CONTENT, TO HEAR THE VOICE OF

GOD, AND JUST TO SEE WHAT'S NOT ONLY GOING ON IN THIS NATION,

NOT ONLY GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE, BUT WHAT GOD'S PLAN IS. SO

AGAIN, ONEVOICETV.NET, MAKE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT. AND SPEAKING OF

ONLINE PLATFORMS, JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, SEVERAL DAYS AGO,

WE HAD AN E-MEMBER COMMENT ON FACEBOOK,

KATIE FROM PENNSYLVANIA, AND I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE

WATCHING TODAY. THANK YOU, HAD A GREAT IDEA TO

SHOWER OUR PASTORS WITH CARDS OF APPRECIATION OVER THE NEXT TWO

WEEKS. AS PASTOR DOUG SAID, AND PASTOR MATT SAID, PASTORS ARE ON

VACATION, SO HOW ABOUT WE JOIN IN? KATIE, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUGGESTING THAT. PASTORS LOVE AND

APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU MEMBERS HERE, THE E-MEMBERS AND VIEWERS

ONLINE. SO IF YOU WANT TO SEND A CARD OF ENCOURAGEMENT, YOU

COULD EMAIL IT TO THE CHURCH, OR IF YOU WANNA

PHYSICALLY EMAIL, THE ADDRESS WILL BE ON THE SCREENS DURING

OFFERING TIME. SO WE JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO, TO JOIN

IN. PASTORS LOVE READING AND PRAYING OVER YOUR CARD, SO WE

WANNA SHOWER THEM WITH SUPPORT. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A PLAN? ALL

RIGHT, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO THAT. AND JUST ONE QUICK LAST

THING, JUST ALL PARENTS OF CORE YOUTH, WE HAVE A RETREAT MEETING

TODAY AFTER SERVICE IN THE SOUTH AUDITORIUM. SO IF YOUR CHILD IS

GOING TO CORE YOUTH RETREAT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR MEETING

TODAY DIRECTLY AFTER SERVICE. AMEN? ALL RIGHT. WELL, HOW MANY

OF YOU KNOW OPENING THE HEAVENS IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING? THAT WAS

LIKE A WOO. I'M EVEN EXCITED OPENING THE HEAVENS IS

APPROACHING. YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE? ALL RIGHT. WELL,

WITH THAT EXCITEMENT, LET'S TUNE OUR ATTENTION TO THE SCREENS.

- I BELIEVE SOMETHING IS LAUNCHING, AND OUR KING IS GOING

TO MOVE TO THE CENTER AND RISE IN HIS CHURCH.

- THIS IS THE FINAL MOVE OF THE LORD, SAITH GOD. IT'S GONNA GET

MORE INTENSE, MORE POWERFUL, AND MORE GREAT.

- AIN'T NOTHING GONNA KEEP YOU BACK. AIN'T NOTHING GONNA HOLD

YOU DOWN. AND THAT'S WHEN YOU SAY "NOT TODAY SATAN NOT TODAY!"

- OPENING THE HEAVENS CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 11TH

THROUGH 14TH AT THE MID-AMERICA CENTER. DON'T MISS THIS DIVINE

APPOINTMENT OF GOD'S REMNANT. TOGETHER WE'LL

BOLDLY RELEASE THE SOUND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE.

- IF GOD IS MOVING, PEOPLE WILL COME FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF

THE EARTH. -GET YOUR VOICE AND RAISE IT

BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO PURSUE, OVERTAKE, AND WITHOUT FAIL,

AMERICA, YOU WILL RECOVER ALL. LET EVERY DEVIL FALL. LET

EVERY EVIL AGENDA BE EXPOSED.

REGISTER TODAY AT OPENINGTHEHEAVENS.ORG.

[APPLAUSE] WELL, AMEN. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE, NO, DON'T RAISE

YOUR HANDS. LET ME JUST ENCOURAGE YOU, REGISTER. AND I

DON'T WANT TO EMBARRASS YOU. BUT NEXT WEEK I MIGHT ASK YOU. SO

THIS WOULD BE THE WEEK TO REGISTER. AMEN. RIGHT, JANET?

AMEN. SO, HEY, BEFORE WE RECEIVE TODAY'S OFFERING, I KNOW THAT

PASTOR MATT MENTIONED IT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY IT AGAIN.

PASTOR CHRISTY'S BIRTHDAY WAS LAST FRIDAY, JULY 11TH. I THINK

SHE SPECIFICALLY ARRANGES TO BE ON VACATION BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T

LIKE BEING SUNG TO. SO SHE JUST DOES THAT EVERY YEAR, IT SEEMS

LIKE. SOME OF YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT PASTOR CHRISTIE IS

PASTOR BRENDA'S SISTER. AND FOR OUR NEWER FOLKS, YOU MAY NOT

EVEN KNOW THAT, BUT SHE'S BEEN WORKING ON STAFF HERE FOR OVER

25 YEARS AND HAS PIONEERED ALONG WITH PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA THIS

MINISTRY. AND SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE HER A HAND TODAY AND THANK

HER. SHE LOVES SERVING THIS MINISTRY AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD,

AND SHE JUST DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB HERE. AND I KNOW YOU SEE HER

EVERY WEEK ON THE PLATFORM HERE, BUT BEHIND THE SCENES, SHE DOES

SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU SEE ON SUNDAY. AND I DID WANT TO

MENTION IT, AND I KNOW SHE APPRECIATES THE MESSAGES AND

CARDS THAT SHE RECEIVED, AND SHE'LL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THAT

WHEN SHE RETURNS, I'M SURE. ALSO DON'T FORGET, NEXT SUNDAY IS DR.

GENE BAILEY. HE'S BRINGING HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE, TERRI, AND

THEY'LL BE WITH US, SO DON'T MISS. I'LL TELL YOU, WE'VE BEEN

TREATED ROYALLY. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT TODAY WITH DR. RICHARD

ROBERTS AND THEN NEXT WEEK, DR. GENE BAILEY, SO DON'T MISS NEXT

WEEK ALSO. WELL, IT IS OFFERING TIME, AND WE WILL RECEIVE A

GUEST OFFERING AT THE CONCLUSION TODAY, SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO

BE AWARE OF THAT. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD THE STORY ABOUT HARRY.

HARRY'S THE MAN THAT LIKES TO TAKE SCRIPTURE OUT OF CONTEXT,

AND HE WAS CONFUSED WHEN HE READ THE BIBLE. HE WAS READING

PHILIPPIANS 4:5, WHERE IT SAYS, "LET YOUR MODERATION BE KNOWN TO

Philippians 4:5

ALL MEN." AND HARRY THOUGHT THE SCRIPTURE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS

GIVING. AND HE TELLS THE USHER AT OFFERING TIME, "NO THANKS,

I'M TRYING TO CUT BACK." AND I JUST WANTED TO ENCOURAGE YOU

THAT THAT'S NOT THE TIME TO CUT BACK, THAT IS TAKING IT OUT OF

SCRIPTURE. AS WE SOW, WE SHALL RECEIVE IN ABUNDANCE, AMEN,

AMEN. SO YOU DON'T WANNA CUT BACK AT OFFERING TIME, RIGHT,

DR. ROBERTS, AMEN, AMEN. AND MOST OF US, JUST TO MOVE ON A

LITTLE BIT, I WANNA GIVE YOU A SCRIPTURE TODAY BEFORE WE MOVE

INTO OUR GIVING. MOST OF US ARE FAMILIAR WITH 3 JOHN CHAPTER 2

A VERY WELL-KNOWN VERSE, LET'S JUST PUT

IT UP FOR A MOMENT. I'M GONNA READ IT

OUT OF THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION. IT SAYS, "BELOVED, I

PRAY THAT YOU MAY PROSPER "IN ALL THINGS AND BE IN HEALTH,

"JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS." AND SO IN THIS VERSE IN 3 JOHN,

WE SEE THE APOSTLE JOHN IS GIVING A MESSAGE TO GAIUS. HE'S

THE LEADER OF THE CHURCH IN ASIA MINOR AT THAT POINT IN TIME. AND

HE'S GIVING GAIUS SOME ADVICE HERE. AND THAT ADVICE CAN

TRANSLATE RIGHT ON OVER TO US. EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE WORD,

WE CAN USE FOR OUR BENEFIT. WE CAN LEARN FROM IT. AND THIS IS

DIRECTION FOR THE CHURCH. HE STARTS THE LETTER WITH THIS. AS

JOHN WRITES THE LETTER TO GAIUS, HE SAYS, "I PRAY THAT YOU MAY

PROSPER IN ALL THINGS "AND BE IN HEALTH JUST AS YOUR SOUL

PROSPERS." HE'S TYING IT TOGETHER. SO WE LEARN, NUMBER

ONE, THAT IT'S OKAY TO PRAY FOR PROSPERITY. FOR OUR BAPTIST

FRIENDS THAT ARE HERE TODAY, IT'S OKAY TO PRAY FOR

PROSPERITY. THAT'S OKAY, ASK GOD TO GIVE IT TO YOU. IT'S OKAY TO

DO THAT. IT ISN'T WHATEVER I RECEIVE IS WHAT I RECEIVE. QUE

SERA, SERA, THAT'S NOT IT. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE BIBLE

TEACHES. OKAY, SO HE'S ALSO OFFERING A TANDEM PRAYER HERE.

HE SAYS, "GAIUS, YOUR SOUL'S PROSPERING, "BUT NOW I PRAY THAT

YOU HAVE PROSPERITY IN ALL THINGS, "INCLUDING YOUR HEALTH."

AND WHAT HE'S REALLY SAYING IS, "YOUR SOUL'S PROSPERING, YOUR

SOUL'S DOING WELL, "AND NOW MY PRAYER FOR YOU IS THAT YOU HAVE

PROSPERITY "IN EVERYTHING, YOUR FINANCES, YOUR FAMILY, "YOUR

RELATIONSHIPS, YOUR HEALTH, "AND YOUR WELLNESS FOR YOUR PHYSICAL

BODY "AND YOUR OUTWARD CIRCUMSTANCES. "ALL OF IT SHOULD

LINE UP AND PROSPER "IN THE SAME WAY THAT YOUR SOUL PROSPERS."

AMEN, THEY GO HAND IN HAND, IN OTHER WORDS. SO WE CAN PUT THAT

SCRIPTURE TO USE FROM US AND APPLY THAT SAME PRINCIPLE FOR

OUR SOULS AND ALSO LET IT MOVE INTO MANIFESTATION IN EVERY AREA

OF OUR LIFE. AND IF IT HASN'T YET MANIFESTED IN THE PHYSICAL

REALM FOR YOU, THAT'S THE CASE WHEN WE ALL NEED TO TAKE TIME TO

ADD THE PRAYER OF AGREEMENT AND FAITH WITH OUR GIVING. IT'S NOT

WRONG TO BELIEVE AND PRAY FOR PROSPERITY AND FOR SUPERNATURAL

HEALTH AND HEALING, THAT'S ALL OKAY. JOHN DID IT FOR GAIUS. IN

FACT, IN HEBREWS 4:2, THE WORD TELLS US THAT THE WORD PREACHED

Hebrews 4:2

DID NOT PROFIT THEM BECAUSE IT WASN'T MIXED IN FAITH WHEN THEY

HEARD IT. THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE WHEN THEY HEARD IT. AND THEN

THAT JUST NEGATES THE TRUTH OF THE WORD. YOUR MOUTH GATE WILL

OPEN UP GOOD THINGS FOR YOU DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU SPEAK.

YOU'RE PLANTING SEEDS RIGHT NOW WITH YOUR MOUTH FOR YOUR FUTURE.

AND IF YOU'RE TALKING BAD AND YOU'RE NOT SPEAKING THE WORD,

YOU WON'T RECEIVE IN THE SAME WAY THAT IF YOU'RE SPEAKING THE

WORD OVER IT. SO EVERY TIME YOU GIVE, GIVE IN FAITH. IF YOU GIVE

A DOLLAR, GIVE IT IN FAITH, BELIEVING THAT GOD'S GONNA MOVE,

AMEN? SO TODAY AS YOU GIVE, EXERT YOUR FAITH AND BELIEVE FOR

INCREASE AND BLESSING. WHEN YOU MIX YOUR FAITH WITH ACTION, YOU

CAN'T LOSE, AMEN? WELL, AS YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR GIVING USHERS,

YOU CAN SERVE THE PEOPLE. IF YOU NEED AN ENVELOPE TODAY, YOU CAN

RAISE YOUR HAND. THE USHERS WILL SERVE YOU. WE'LL PUT THE GIVING

INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN. THERE'S SO MANY WAYS TO GIVE AT

LORD OF HOSTS. YOU CAN USE THE ENVELOPE SYSTEM FOR THOSE THAT

ARE HERE. IF YOU'RE ONLINE, YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE,

LOHCHURCH.ORG. THE MOBILE APP IS VERY CONVENIENT, AND OF COURSE,

YOU CAN TEXT TO GIVE. THAT'S ALL THERE. AND THEN WE STILL HAVE

PEOPLE THAT MAIL IN CONTRIBUTIONS REGULARLY. IF

YOU'RE SENDING PRECIOUS METALS TO US, YOU NEED TO MAIL THEM TO

THAT PO BOX, AND THEN WE'LL SEND YOU A RECEIPT. SO SEND YOUR GOLD

AND SILVER TO THAT PO BOX, AND THEN ALONG WITH YOUR CASH OR

YOUR CHECKS OR WHATEVER, AND WE WILL GET YOU A RECEIPT BACK. AND

IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GIVE. BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU ONE MORE WAY OF

GIVING REALLY QUICK HERE. SOME ASK ME, "SHOULD I CONSIDER

DONATING MY CRYPTOCURRENCY OR MY STOCKS DIRECTLY TO THE CHURCH?"

AND DONATING THOSE ASSETS DIRECTLY TO THE CHURCH HAS VALUE

TO YOU. INSTEAD OF JUST SELLING THEM FOR CASH AND GIVING THE

CASH, THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO DO IT. AND YOU SAY, "WHY WOULD I

WANT TO DONATE STOCKS DIRECTLY TO LORD OF HOSTS? WHY WOULD I

WANT TO GIVE MY CRYPTOCURRENCY DIRECTLY TO LORD OF HOSTS?" AND

THE REASON IS, IN MOST CASES, YOU CAN AVOID CAPITAL GAINS TAX.

AND THAT CAN BE AS HIGH AS 20% OF THE AMOUNT THAT YOU GIVE.

NOW, IF YOU ARE HOLD, NOW, IF YOU'RE SOMEONE

LIKE CRAIG OUT HERE AND YOU'RE

HOLDING A LOT OF BITCOIN, IN APRIL, BITCOIN WAS WORTH

$75,000. TODAY IT'S WORTH $117,000. SO CRAIG HAS HAD A BIG

GAIN ON HIS BITCOIN. THE SMART WAY FOR CRAIG TO GIVE HIS

BITCOIN TO LORD OF HOSTS IS TO TRANSFER IT DIRECTLY BECAUSE HE

CAN DO IT AT HIS COST BASIS. EVEN THOUGH HE'S GIVING THE

CHURCH THE 117, IF HE GIVES US ONE COIN, HE'LL GIVE US 117. HE

DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY TAX ON THAT GAIN IF HE GIVES IT DIRECTLY. IF

HE SELLS THAT BITCOIN FOR 117 AND GIVES THAT MONEY TO THE

CHURCH, THEN HE HAS TO PAY TAX ON THAT GAIN THAT HE HAD. DOES

THAT MAKE SENSE? OKAY, SO I'M TAKING A LITTLE TIME ON THIS

BECAUSE THERE ARE OVER A TRILLION DOLLARS OF

CRYPTOCURRENCY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT STOCKS ARE TODAY AS FAR AS

NUMBER OF DOLLARS INVESTED, BUT JUST IN CRYPTO, OVER A TRILLION

DOLLARS WORLDWIDE. AND OVER 300 MILLION PEOPLE ARE USING

CRYPTOCURRENCY RIGHT NOW TO TRADE WITH. SO IT IS SOMETHING

THAT IS BEING USED MORE AND MORE, AND PEOPLE HAVE MORE

QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I

MENTIONED THAT TO YOU. AND IF YOU WANT TO PUT THAT SLIDE UP

REALLY QUICK, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR CRYPTO OR STOCKS, YOU

CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE, SCROLL DOWN UNDER THE GIVE SECTION, AND

YOU'LL FIND THE AREA THAT SAYS GIVE CRYPTO STOCK OR DONOR

ADVISED FUNDS. YOU CAN CLICK ON THAT, AND THEN IT'S VERY EASY TO

PUT IN YOUR STOCK FUND, YOUR TYPE OF CRYPTO, AND THE NUMBER

OF COINS THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE. AND CRAIG, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE

10 BITCOIN TODAY, THAT WOULD JUST BE FINE. BUT ANYWAY, YOU

CAN PUT IN THE NUMBER, AND THEN WE AUTOMATICALLY DO THE

TRANSFER, AND WE SEND YOU AN ELECTRONIC RECEIPT RIGHT AWAY.

SO IT'S JUST ALL SEAMLESS IN THE WAY THAT IT WORKS, AND IT'S AN

EASY WAY TO DO THAT. SO STAND UP WITH ME AND HOLD UP YOUR

OFFERINGS, AND I WANT TO PRAY OVER YOU TODAY, ESPECIALLY

PRAYING A BLESSING OVER CRAIG AND HIS GIVING. THANK YOU,

CRAIG. FATHER, WE THANK YOU THAT WE CAN PROSPER IN ALL THINGS

JUST AS OUR SOUL PROSPERS, AND THAT INCLUDES OUR GIVING THAT WE

GIVE TODAY. WE PLANT THESE SEEDS HONORABLY INTO YOUR HOUSE, LORD,

BECAUSE WE KNOW WHEN WE GIVE HERE AT LORD OF HOSTS, WE'RE

GIVING TO YOU, AND WE DO THAT WITH APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE

FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE FOR US. AND WE THANK YOU, LORD, THAT

YOUR WORD HAS PROMISED THAT YOU WILL PROSPER US, YOU'LL INCREASE

US, AND YOU'LL REBUKE THE DEVOURER ON OUR BEHALF AS WE

GIVE TO YOU. SO I THANK YOU FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY TODAY. WE THANK

YOU THAT WE CAN EXTEND OUR HAND TO YOU AND GIVE ON THIS EARTH,

AND YET WE'RE BUILDING UP TREASURE IN HEAVEN, YOU TELL US.

AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DAY WHEN WE SEE HOW MUCH

WE'VE ACCUMULATED IN HEAVEN. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, AS WE'RE ON THIS

EARTH AND AMBASSADORS, WE THANK YOU THAT WE CAN BE HERE AND WORK

FOR YOU, GIVE INTO YOUR KINGDOM AND SEE THE MIGHTY WORK OF GOD

GO AROUND THE WORLD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, WE PRAY,

AMEN. AND EVERYONE SAID AMEN. PASTOR MATT. (SOFT PIANO MUSIC)

- YOU GOT ME? THERE WE GO. I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THAT ONE

THERE. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR THAT, PASTOR DOUG. I WANNA

DECREE TOGETHER, CHURCH, OVER THIS TOGETHER. AND YOU KNOW,

LIKE PASTOR BRENDA ALWAYS SAYS, MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DECREE THIS,

THIS IS NOT JUST FOR THIS CAMPUS, BUT IT'S FOR YOUR OWN

PERSONAL LIFE, OKAY? THERE ARE THINGS WE ARE ALL BELIEVING FOR

IN OUR OWN LIVES, THINGS THAT ARE GONNA MANIFEST,

BREAKTHROUGH, OKAY? AND PASTOR DOJI EVEN SAID IT PRAYING TODAY,

THAT THEIR MANIFESTATION IS RIGHT NOW, OKAY? NOT TOMORROW,

OKAY? BELIEVE FOR IT RIGHT NOW. NOW IS YOUR SEASON. IN THIS

MOMENT WHEN YOUR FEET ARE PLANTED IN HERE, YOU'RE STEPPING

INTO SOMETHING NOW. AMEN? SO LET'S DECREE OVER THIS TOGETHER,

CHURCH. WE DECLARE THE CAMPUS AND MINISTRY OF LORD OF HOSTS

CHURCH SHALL BE INCREASED, EXPANDED, AND DEBT FREE.

WE DECREE IT SHALL HAPPEN WITHOUT DELAY. WE SAY TO EVERY

HEAVENLY ASSIGNMENT, BE BUILT UP AND FINISHED. WE SAY THAT WE

HAVE ALL THE FINANCES NEEDED, FOR THE LORD IS BUILDING THIS

HOUSE. WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH, EXCESS AND OVERFLOW. LORD, YOU

ARE PROVIDING SEED TO THE SOWER. WE CALL UPON YOU, LORD OF HOSTS,

TO BRING FORTH HEAVENLY ASSISTANCE AND RAISE UP

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

PROPHESY THAT WE SHALL QUADRUPLE, QUADRUPLE, AND THEN

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

DECREE MINISTRY AND CAMPUS BE EXPANDED NOW. NOW LOOK AT

SOMEBODY AND TELL THEM NOW. NOW IS YOUR SEASON, COME ON. NOW, IN

JESUS' NAME. WELL, TURN YOUR ATTENTION AS YOU'RE SITTING DOWN

TO THE SCREENS AS WE HAVE A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM OUR

PASTORS, PASTOR HANK AND PASTOR BRENDA, AMEN.

- GOOD MORNING, CHURCH FAMILY E-MEMBERS. BRENDA

AND I ARE ON VACATION AND WE'RE THINKING

ABOUT YOU, SO WE THOUGHT WE WOULD JUST GIVE YOU A VACATION

GREETING. IF YOU ARE OUR GUEST TODAY, WELCOME. ISN'T THIS A

BEAUTIFUL PLACE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US? AND SO WE THANK YOU

FOR COMING TODAY. BUT WE GOT RICHARD ROBERTS. HE IS A THREE

HOUR SERMON PREACHER, SO GET READY FOR HIM.

- YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE ALL DAY LONG, SO THINK ABOUT IT.

- YEAH, AND ALSO HE OPERATES BY THE HAND OF GOD IN MIRACLE SIGNS

AND WONDERS. SO GET READY TO BE TOUCHED BY GOD AND A POWERFUL

MESSAGE BY RICHARD ROBERTS. ENJOY.

- AND WE'RE SO EXCITED. WE KNOW, WE ARE BELIEVING WITH YOU. WE

JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT FOR BREAKTHROUGHS, FOR MIRACLES, AND

SO GET READY TO RECEIVE TODAY. IT'S GONNA BE A POWERFUL TIME

AND WE WILL SEE YOU IN A COUPLE WEEKS. AND REMEMBER, NEXT WEEK

GOD BLESS YOU. - GOD BLESS YOU.

- AMEN. THANK YOU FOR THAT, MOM AND DAD. WE LOVE YOU. AMEN.

COME ON, CHURCH. NOW, I WANT YOU TO STAND UP. I WANT YOU TO GET

READY TO RECEIVE BECAUSE HEALING AND MIRACLES ARE NOW AND THEY

EXIST TODAY. AMEN. LET'S WELCOME DR. RICHARD ROBERTS WITH THE

LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH, OMAHA, NEBRASKA. WELCOME. YOUR FIRST

TIME IN THIS SANCTUARY. IT WAS OVER THERE THE LAST TIME. WE

LOVE YOU. AMEN. -HALLELUJAH. WELL, LET'S GIVE A

SHOUT OF PRAISE TO THE LORD THIS MORNING. HALLELUJAH. LET'S LIFT

YOUR HANDS ONE MORE TIME THIS MORNING. FATHER, WE GIVE YOU

PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY. THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY, FOR THIS

IS THE DAY THAT YOU'VE MADE. THE DEVIL DID NOT MAKE THIS DAY. YOU

MADE THIS DAY, AND YOU MADE IT FOR US. AND I PRAISE YOU AND

GIVE YOU HONOR AND GLORY. THANK YOU FOR THE ANOINTING OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT TODAY. I RECEIVE IT AFRESH AND ANEW IN JESUS' NAME.

AND EVERYBODY SAID, AMEN, AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU. YOU CAN BE

SEATED. HALLELUJAH. I AM SO GLAD TO BE BACK IN OMAHA AND TO BE

WITH YOU ALL. WHEN I WAS HERE LAST YEAR, YOU WERE STILL IN THE

OTHER BUILDING. SO THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TO SEE THIS BUILDING.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. WOW, LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE. HALLELUJAH.

THANK THE LORD. THANKS TO PASTOR HANK FOR THAT ENCOURAGING WORD

ABOUT A THREE HOUR SERMON. I BELIEVE

IN THE SCRIPTURE, "HE WHO SPEAKETH

SHORT SHALL BE INVITED AGAIN." I'M AWFULLY GLAD THAT PASTOR

HANK AND BRENDA ARE ON A CAMPING VACATION, AND I'M NOT. MY IDEA

OF CAMPING IS THE EMBASSY SUITES. I AM NOT A CAMPER, BUT

I'M GLAD THEY ARE OUT THERE WITH THE BUGS AND THE SCORPIONS AND

THE SNAKES AND HAVING SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME WITH ALL THOSE

INSECTS THAT ARE OUT THERE. I BELIEVE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,

KILL THEM ALL. BUT I'M DELIGHTED TO BE HERE. MY LIFE HAS

SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED SINCE I WAS HERE LAST. I WAS HERE ONE

YEAR AGO. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE ARRIVED ON THE SATURDAY, THE

DAY THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS SHOT. THAT WAS THE SATURDAY THAT

WE ARRIVED. AND THANK GOD HE WAS SPARED. AND ALSO, WE WOULD

PREACH THE NEXT MORNING. AND WHEN I WENT BACK TO TULSA, THAT

AFTERNOON, WE DROVE BACK TO TULSA. WE LAUNCHED A NEW LIVE

FIVE DAY A WEEK TELEVISION PROGRAM

ON THE VICTORY CHANNEL AND ON THE WORD NETWORK.

WE LAUNCHED THAT RIGHT AFTERWARDS, AND SO I'M JUST

ABOUT TO CELEBRATE MY FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF BEING LIVE MONDAY

THROUGH FRIDAY. WE ARE SEEING MANY, MANY MIRACLES AND HEALINGS

EVERY DAY. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT, IT'S ON THE VICTORY CHANNEL

LIVE. IT'S ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. IT'S ON THE WORD NETWORK. IT'S

AT NOON, MONDAYS THROUGH FRIDAYS. THAT'S WHY I'M RUSHING

BACK HOME AFTER THE SERVICE TODAY. SO I COULDN'T PREACH LONG

IF I WANTED TO, BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO TULSA TONIGHT FOR

TELEVISION THIS WEEK. BUT I'M HONORED TO BE HERE. PASTOR HANK

AND BRENDA HAVE MEANT A GREAT DEAL TO ME. I FIRST MET THEM ON

THE TELEPHONE. I WAS IN FLORIDA MINISTERING BACK IN 2007, AND

PASTOR GUILLERMO MALDONADO WAS HOSTING ME IN MIAMI, AND HE

SAID, "I WANT YOU TO MEET A FRIEND OF MINE ON THE PHONE."

AND HE PUT THE PHONE IN MY HANDS, AND IT WAS PASTOR HANK.

AND HE BEGAN TO PROPHESY OVER ME, AND EVERYTHING THAT HE SAID

IN THAT PHONE CALL CAME TO PASS. AND I HAVE KNOWN HIM TO BE A MAN

OF THE LORD AND A MAN OF HIS WORD. AND I THANK GOD FOR HIM,

AND I THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE'S DOING HERE AND FOR THE GROWTH IN

THIS CHURCH IN THIS GREAT CITY OF OMAHA. SO PRAISE GOD FOR THAT

AND FOR THE PROPHETIC VOICE. SOMEONE WHO'S HAD A LOSS OF

HEARING IN YOUR RIGHT EAR, YOU'RE BEING HEALED RIGHT NOW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I PRAY. YOU CAN RELEASE YOUR FAITH

AND YOU CAN BELIEVE GOD FOR A HEALING. YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A

BOY, I HAD 22 WARTS ON MY LEFT HAND. I WAS ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD,

AND THEY WERE SPREADING. I WAS A BOY THAT PLAYED SPORTS. I PLAYED

FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL. I WOULD COME HOME FROM MY

PRACTICES AND MY GAMES, AND MY HAND WOULD BE BLEEDING BECAUSE I

WOULD, CATCHING THE BALL OR THROWING THE BALL, I WOULD RIP

THE TOP OF THOSE WARTS OFF. MY MOTHER WOULD SOAK MY HAND AND

TRY TO GET THE BLEEDING TO STOP. AND MY FATHER CAME IN AND SAID,

"LET'S PRAY." AND SO HE TOOK ME BACK INTO HIS BEDROOM, AND HE

SAID, "NOW, I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU, "AND WHEN I DO, I WANT YOU

TO RELEASE YOUR FAITH." AND I SAID, "WELL, DADDY, HOW DO YOU

RELEASE YOUR FAITH?" HE SAID, "YOU RELEASE YOUR FAITH THROUGH

A POINT OF CONTACT." I SAID, "DADDY, WHAT'S A POINT OF

CONTACT?" "SON, A POINT OF CONTACT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU

DO, "AND WHEN YOU DO IT, YOU RELEASE YOUR FAITH." AND HE SAW

IN THE LOOK IN MY EYE THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING

ABOUT. AND SO HE POINTED TO THE WALL AND SAID, "DO YOU SEE THE

LIGHT SWITCH?" I SAID, "YES." HE SAID, "SON, THAT LIGHT SWITCH IS

A POINT OF CONTACT. "IT HAS NO POWER, BUT IT'S HOOKED UP TO THE

POWER COMPANY. SO THAT WHEN YOU FLIP THE SWITCH, YOU TOUCH THE

POWER COMPANY AND THE LIGHTS COME ON." WELL, I CAN UNDERSTAND

THAT. HE SAID, "THE FAITH IN YOUR HEART IS JUST LIKE THAT

SWITCH. IT IN ITSELF HAS NO POWER, BUT IT'S HOOKED UP TO

GOD." SO THAT WHEN YOU FLIP THE SWITCH, WHEN

YOU RELEASE YOUR FAITH, YOU TOUCH GOD, AND THAT'S

WHEN THE MIRACLES BEGIN. NOW, I'D SEEN MY FATHER, YOU KNOW,

ALL THOSE FIRST 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE IN CRUSADES ALL OVER THE

WORLD. I'D SEEN HIM PRAY FOR THE SICK. I'D SEEN HIM GREAT IN MANY

MIRACLES. SO I KNEW, I KNEW WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. AND HE

SAID, "NOW, WHEN I SAY IN JESUS' NAME, "YOU RELEASE YOUR FAITH TO

GOD." I SAID, "OKAY." AND HE BEGAN TO PRAY FOR ME, AND HE

CAME TO HIS PART OF THE PRAYER WHEN HE SAID IN JESUS' NAME, AND

NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO, AND BEING JUST A LITTLE BOY, I JUST,

OUT LOUD, I JUST SAID, "FAITH," I TALKED TO MY FAITH, "FAITH,

GET UP THERE TO GOD." (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

I LOOKED AT MY HAND AND EVERY WART WAS STILL THERE.

I LOOKED AT MY DADDY. HE SAID, "NOW, RICHARD, WE HAVE

PRAYED AND WE HAVE BELIEVED. "NOW LET'S EXPECT A MIRACLE."

SOMETIMES HEALING COMES QUICKLY. SOMETIMES HEALING COMES OVER A

PERIOD OF TIME. WE'RE NOT IN CHARGE OF THE AGENDA, YOU KNOW.

AND I AWAKENED THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY WERE STILL THERE. AND

THE SECOND MORNING, THEY WERE STILL THERE. THE THIRD MORNING,

THEY WERE STILL THERE. THE FOURTH, THE FIFTH, THE SIXTH

MORNING, I AWAKENED, THEY WERE STILL THERE. THE SEVENTH

MORNING, EIGHTH MORNING, NINTH MORNING, THEY WERE STILL THERE.

BUT ON THE 10TH MORNING, WHEN I WOKE UP AND LOOKED AT MY HAND,

EVERY WART HAD DISAPPEARED. GONE. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

I'M LEFT-HANDED. DO EVERYTHING WITH

MY LEFT HAND. AND IF YOU SEE MY HAND,

THERE'S NO WARTS THERE. HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER ONE ON THAT HAND.

AND THAT WAS A LOT OF YEARS AGO. THAT

WAS 66 YEARS AGO. NEVER HAD ANOTHER ONE SINCE. BUT

MORE THAN THAT, MORE THAN JUST THE HEALING, I LEARNED HOW TO

RELEASE MY FAITH. SO WHEN I PRAY OVER YOU TODAY, LET YOUR FAITH

GO. RELEASE IT TO GOD. HE IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR HEALING. CAN YOU

SAY AMEN? AMEN. DON'T TAKE THAT OFF

MY THREE HOURS PREACHING TIME NOW,

OKAY, THAT'S JUST MY INTRODUCTORY STORY, OKAY?

PRAISE GOD. WE'LL OPEN YOUR BIBLES THIS MORNING TO

ISAIAH CHAPTER 6. I DO, IN ADDITION TO THE LIVE TV SHOW, I

Isaiah 6 · chapter mention

DO A SATURDAY NIGHT PHONE CALL TO ABOUT SIX OR 700 PEOPLE. I DO

IT 10 O'CLOCK ON SATURDAY NIGHTS, NO MATTER WHERE I AM IN

THE WORLD, 10 O'CLOCK CENTRAL TIME, AND I DID IT LAST NIGHT.

AND I WAS TALKING LAST NIGHT ON THE CALL ABOUT THE HEARING THE

VOICE OF THE LORD. AND THAT'S WHAT I WANNA TALK ABOUT. TURN

YOUR BIBLES OVER TO ISAIAH CHAPTER SIX. AND AS I DO, LET ME

BRING YOU A VERY SPECIAL WORD OF GREETING FROM ANOTHER ONE OF

PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA'S VERY GOOD FRIENDS, AND THAT'S MY

WIFE, LINDSAY. MY WIFE, LINDSAY, IS BACK IN TULSA.

AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS ASLEEP, SO I WOKE

HER UP THIS MORNING. AND I WOKE HER UP EARLY TO TELL HER I WAS

GETTING READY FOR THE SERVICE AND TO PRAY OVER HER AND FOR HER

TO PRAY OVER ME. AND I KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOING RIGHT NOW. SHE'S

PRAYING OVER ME AND PROBABLY WATCHING ONLINE. SO GOD BLESS

YOU AND ALL MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE AT HOME. OUR

DAUGHTERS ARE THERE IN TULSA. I HAVE THREE DAUGHTERS, BLESSED AM

I, AMONG WOMEN. THANK GOD FOR WOMEN, PRAISE

GOD. BY THE WAY, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ANTI

WOMEN IN MINISTRY. AND I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. I BELIEVE IN WOMEN

IN MINISTRY, VERY STRONGLY. IN FACT, ONE OF MY GREAT

MENTORS IN MY LIFE WAS CATHERINE KUHLMAN. I

TRAVELED WITH HER FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN THE 70S. AND SHE SPOKE

INTO MY LIFE AND IS RESPONSIBLE REALLY FOR TEACHING ME MOST OF

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE OPERATION OF THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE. SO I

THANK GOD FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY AND I LIFT UP WOMEN, ESPECIALLY

IN THIS CHURCH I LIFT UP PASTOR BRENDA AND HER MINISTRY. SO BUT

I GREET YOU ON BEHALF OF ALL MY FAMILY AND THANK GOD FOR THEM.

I'LL TALK TO YOU JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES ABOUT HEARING THE VOICE

OF GOD. THE QUESTION IS NOT DOES GOD SPEAK? THE QUESTION IS DO

YOU LISTEN WHEN HE SPEAKS? OKAY, I WANNA READ FROM ISAIAH CHAPTER

SIX AND BEGINNING AT VERSE EIGHT. ISAIAH SAYS, "I HEARD THE

VOICE OF THE LORD SAYING, "'WHOM SHALL I SEND AND WHO WILL GO FOR

US?' "THEN I SAID, 'HERE AM I, SEND ME.'" NOTICE ISAIAH SAID,

"HE HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD SPEAK." GOD SPEAKS. TURN TO YOUR

NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM GOD STILL SPEAKS TODAY. IF EVER GOD SPOKE,

GOD IS STILL SPEAKING TODAY BECAUSE HE'S THE SAME YESTERDAY,

TODAY, AND FOREVER. IF EVER A MAN OR A WOMAN HEARD THE VOICE

OF THE LORD LIKE ABRAHAM HEARD, WHEN ABRAHAM WAS LIVING IN UR OF

THE CHALDEES IN AN AREA WHICH IS KNOWN TODAY AS IRAQ, AND GOD

SPOKE TO HIM AND TOLD HIM TO GET UP AND LEAVE HIS KINFOLK. A LOT

OF US WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE OUR KINFOLK, WOULDN'T WE? NEVERMIND,

I TAKE THAT BACK. PEOPLE HAVE UNSAVED LOVED ONES AND UNLOVED

SAVED ONES, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) NOW

DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. (AUDIENCE CHEERING) GOD SAID,

"GET UP FROM YOUR KINFOLK AND GO TO A PLACE THAT I'LL SHOW YOU."

IMAGINE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, STARTING TO DRIVE, NOT EVEN

KNOWING WHICH WAY TO GO. AND YET, THAT'S WHAT GOD SPOKE TO

ABRAHAM UNTIL HE ARRIVED AT A PLACE THAT WE KNOW TODAY AS

ISRAEL. GOD SPOKE ALL THROUGH ABRAHAM'S LIFE. AND HE ALSO

SPOKE IN THE LIFE OF JOSHUA. AND HE HEARD THE WORD OF THE LORD

THAT HE WAS TO LEAD THE PEOPLE INTO THE PROMISED LAND. AND HE

ALSO SPOKE TO MOSES. HE SAID, "WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND?

LIFT IT UP AND THE WATERS WILL PART." AND THEY DID, AND THEY

WALKED ACROSS ON DRY GROUND. HE SPOKE TO SAMUEL WHEN SAMUEL WAS

JUST A LITTLE BOY. AND SAMUEL BECAME THE GREAT PROPHET WHO

WOUND UP ANOINTING SAUL TO BECOME KING AND THEN DAVID TO

BECOME KING, AS WELL AS OTHERS TO BECOME KINGS IN THAT TIME.

MARY HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD. YOU ARE HIGHLY FAVORED

AMONG WOMEN. AND YOU'RE GONNA GIVE BIRTH TO THE CHRIST CHILD.

SHE HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD. JOHN HEARD THE VOICE OF THE

LORD, SAYING, "I AM THE ALPHA, AND I AM THE OMEGA." WELL, THAT

WAS BIBLE TIMES. DOES GOD SPEAK IN THESE TIMES? YES, HE CAN

SPEAK TO ANYBODY AT ANY TIME. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE SPOKE IN

THE BIBLE THROUGH A DONKEY. OKAY? SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S

TOO HARD FOR GOD. GOD IS NOT LIMITED TO TIME OR SPACE. AND I

WANT TO SHARE SEVERAL THINGS. YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET A PEN, A

PENCIL, A PIECE OF PAPER, YOUR SMART PHONE, YOUR DUMB PHONE,

WHICHEVER PHONE YOU BROUGHT. AND LET ME SHARE WITH YOU SOME WAYS

THAT GOD SPEAKS. NOW HERE WE ARE IN A PROPHETIC CHURCH. YOUR

PASTOR, MY FRIEND, PASTOR HANK KUNNEMAN, IS A PROPHET OF GOD.

WE SEE HIM ON FLASHPOINT, WE SEE HIM IN CONFERENCES. I HAVE KNOWN

HIM PERSONALLY NOW FOR THESE SOME 16 YEARS. AND I THANK GOD,

I THANK GOD FOR THAT. I REMEMBER WHEN PASTOR MATTHEW WAS JUST A

YOUNG TEENAGER AND JONATHAN WAS JUST RUNNING AROUND STANDING ON

CHAIRS. NOW HE'S KNOCKING PEOPLE OVER IN CHAIRS. AND

I WANNA SEE THAT FIGHT. WHAT'S THE DATE, AUGUST 19TH?

I WANNA SEE, HOPE THAT'S LIVE ON TV, OR SOME PAY-PER-VIEW

OR SOMETHING, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. I REMEMBER THE TIMES I

HAD IN PRAYER WITH THEIR FAMILY, AND I REMEMBER THE PROPHETIC

WORDS THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN OVER ME. GOD SPEAKS THROUGH PROPHECY.

PROPHECY POINTS THE WAY, OKAY? PROPHECY POINTS THE WAY. MY

FATHER PROPHESIED OVER ME. MY FATHER, ORAL ROBERTS, AS A

HEALING EVANGELIST, ALSO OCCASIONALLY SPOKE PROPHETIC

WORDS. AND I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS JUST 19, WHEN HE PROPHESIED OVER

ME THAT I WOULD HAVE A HEALING MINISTRY. I WAS NOT INTERESTED

IN GOD. I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN THE HEALING MINISTRY. I HAD NO

DESIRE. I WANTED TO BE A NIGHTCLUB ENTERTAINER. I WANTED

TO GO TO LAS VEGAS. I'D BEEN OFFERED A CONTRACT AT THE SAHARA

HOTEL TO SING IN THEIR LOUNGES. I WANTED TO GO OUT AND BECOME A

STAR AND COME HOME AND JAM IT DOWN THEIR THROAT FOR ALL THAT I

HAD BEEN THROUGH IN MY LIFE, BEING THE SON OF ORAL ROBERTS.

YOU KNOW, BUT HE PROPHESIED OVER ME. HE SAID, "SON, I SEE YOU

STANDING BEFORE KINGS AND QUEENS "AND PRESIDENTS AND PRIME

MINISTERS IN NATIONS "ALL OVER THE EARTH. "I SEE YOU HAVING

CROWDS TWICE AS BIG AS I HAD "IN NATIONS AROUND THE WORLD." HE

SAID, "I SEE YOU OPERATING IN THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, "WHEREAS

I," HE SAID, "HAVE LAID HANDS ON PEOPLE." YOU WILL SPEAK THROUGH

THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, AND THE POWER OF GOD WILL COME DOWN

THROUGH YOU, AND COME DOWN YOUR ARM, AND DOWN YOUR SHOULDER, AND

IN YOUR HAND, AND THE POWER OF GOD WILL FLOW OUT OF YOUR

FINGERS, AND WHEN YOU STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND ON TELEVISION,

WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GONNA BE ON, PEOPLE WILL BE HEALED

WHERE THEY SIT. I WAS 19. I WANTED TO DO MY OWN THING. WELL,

I WAS SO TOUCHED BY THAT PROPHETIC WORD THAT CAME INTO MY

LIFE THAT I ROLLED OUT OF BED AND GOT ON MY KNEES AND PRAYED A

SINNER'S PRAYER AND ASKED JESUS TO COME INTO MY HEART. MY LIFE

WAS TRANSFORMED. AND LATER THAT EVENING, I WAS BAPTIZED IN THE

HOLY SPIRIT. AND MY LIFE WAS CHANGED. IT WAS CHANGED THROUGH

A PROPHETIC WORD. THANK GOD FOR PROPHECY. YOU MUST HAVE PROFIT.

NOW, MOST CHURCHES ARE NON-PROFIT CORPORATIONS.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) I'M JUST SAYING. MANY

PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF THE PROPHETIC VOICE BECAUSE

THEY'RE AFRAID THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOING TO REVEAL

SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T WANT KNOWN. BUT GOD DOESN'T DO THAT.

HIS WORD IS ALWAYS ENCOURAGING, IT'S ALWAYS LIFTING, IT ALWAYS

LIFTS YOU UP. THANK GOD FOR THE PROPHETIC WORD. GOD STILL SPEAKS

THROUGH THE GIFT OF PROPHECY. AND HE SPEAKS EVERY WEEK HERE IN

THIS CHURCH. AND BY THE WAY, I AM STUNNED BY THE GROWTH THAT I

AM SEEING IN THIS CHURCH. NOW, I'VE BEEN COMING HERE PROBABLY,

MAYBE EVERY OTHER YEAR, MATTHEW, FOR 16 YEARS, PROBABLY THE

8TH OR 10TH TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE. I'VE BEEN IN

CONFERENCES HERE, I'VE BEEN IN CHURCH SERVICES, I'VE BEEN IN

GOOD WEATHER, I'VE BEEN IN BAD WEATHER. ONE YEAR I CAME IN

JANUARY, FOUR DEGREES BELOW ZERO AND THE BUILDING WAS STILL

PACKED OUT. SO I'VE WATCHED THE

GROWTH ALL THROUGH THESE YEARS. I REMEMBER WHEN NOBODY IN

AMERICA KNEW WHO HANK KUNNEMAN WAS. NOW BELIEVE ME, PEOPLE KNOW

WHO HE IS NOW. MORE THAN THAT, THE DEVIL KNOWS WHO HE IS.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) 'CAUSE HE'S SPEAKING PROPHETICALLY JUST

ABOUT EVERY WEEK EXCEPT WHEN HE'S CAMPING. SO GOD SPEAKS

THROUGH HIS PROPHETIC VOICE. THEN SECOND, HE SPEAKS THROUGH

HIS STILL SMALL VOICE. THAT'S THAT LITTLE VOICE INSIDE YOU. I

SAW A CARTOON ONCE WHERE THIS CARTOON CHARACTER HAD A LITTLE

ANGEL ON ONE SHOULDER AND A LITTLE DEVIL ON THE OTHER

SHOULDER. AND BOTH OF THEM WERE SPEAKING INTO THE EAR OF THIS

CARTOON CHARACTER. AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WELL, THAT'S A

CARTOON, BUT IT MAY NOT BE TOO FAR FROM THE TRUTH. WHERE YOU'RE

HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD AND THE VOICE OF THE DEVIL COMING AT YOU

AT THE SAME TIME. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I REMEMBER OUR CHILDREN

WERE LITTLE AND WE HAD GONE OUT TO CALIFORNIA TO VISIT MY

PARENTS WHO WERE LIVING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AT THE TIME

WHEN I BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY AND MY MOTHER AND

FATHER MOVED TO CALIFORNIA. WE WENT OUT TO VISIT THEM AND WE

WERE STAYING IN A HOTEL ON THE 17TH FLOOR OF A BIG HOTEL. WE

WERE SCHEDULED TO PREACH THE NEXT MORNING OVER IN RIVERSIDE

FOR MY LONG-TIME FRIEND RON HALVERSON.

THERE'S A GREAT CHURCH OVER THERE.

AND AT 5 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, WE WERE AWAKENED BY A

7.3 ON THE RICHTER SCALE EARTHQUAKE. NOW, WE WERE ON THE

17TH FLOOR. WE HAD TWO ROOMS WITH AN ADJOINING DOOR, OUR

THREE CHILDREN, AND A YOUNG LADY WHO WAS TRAVELING WITH US TO

HELP US WITH THE CHILDREN. AND SUDDENLY, THE FLOOR WAS DOING

THIS. AND THE WALLS WERE RATTLING, AND THE PICTURES AND

THE PAINTINGS WERE FALLING OFF, AND OUR CHILDREN WERE TRYING TO

GET OUT OF BED, AND I WAS GRABBING THEM AND HOLDING ONTO

THEM AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW IN THE WORLD WE WERE GOING

TO GET OUT OF THIS HOTEL ON THE 17TH FLOOR. AND THE WALLS ARE

DOING THIS, AND THE FLOOR IS DOING THIS, AND THE DEVIL IS

JUST YELLING, "YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. YOU'RE

GOING TO DIE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET OUT. YOU CAN'T TAKE THE

ELEVATOR. YOU WON'T MAKE IT DOWN THE STAIRS. YOU, YOUR WIFE, YOUR

CHILDREN, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. YOU'RE

GOING TO DIE. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS STILL, SMALL VOICE

INSIDE ME SAID, "I'VE CALLED YOU TO 40 NATIONS AND YOU'VE ONLY

BEEN TO HALF OF THEM." I'M TALKING ABOUT THE STILL, A SMALL

VOICE OF THE LORD COMES INSIDE YOU AND FILLS YOU SO THAT

SUDDENLY YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW. I MEAN YOU KNOW

WHAT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU KNOW. YOU JUST KNOW. OH, HOW DO YOU KNOW?

YOU JUST KNOW THAT YOU KNOW. THAT YOU KNOW. YOU JUST KNOW.

LOOK AT THE LIFE OF ELIJAH. ELIJAH HAD SAID, "IT'S NOT GOING

TO RAIN UNTIL I SAY SO." THEN HE HAD TO GET THE HELL OUT OF TOWN

BECAUSE JEZEBEL HATED HIM. HE WOUND UP IN A LITTLE BROOK

CALLED CHERITH WHERE HE DRANK FROM THE BROOK AND THE RAVENS

CAME AND FED HIM, WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR RAVENS. CROWS,

THEY'RE SCAVENGERS. THEY DON'T FEED YOU, THEY TAKE FROM YOU.

WHEN THE BROOK DRIED UP, HE HAD TO GO TO A LITTLE TOWN THAT GOD

SENT HIM TO WHERE HE SAID, "I'VE COMMANDED A WIDOW TO SUSTAIN

YOU," THE MOST UNLIKELY PERSON IN THE WORLD. WHEN HE GOT THERE,

SHE WAS MAKING HER LAST SUPPER, MAKING A LITTLE PANCAKE FOR MY

BOY AND ME, AND WE'RE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE THE DROUGHT IS SO

BAD, WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE, JUST A LITTLE OIL AND JUST A LITTLE

FLOUR AND THAT'S IT AND WE'RE GOING TO DIE. THE PROPHET SAID,

"GIVE ME THE FIRST PORTION." NOW DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE A

PREACHER? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CRYPTO THIS MORNING, PASTOR

DOUG. DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE A PREACHER? GIVE ME YOUR LAST

CRYPTO. I DIDN'T SAY KRYPTON, THIS IS NOT SUPERMAN. GIVE ME

THE FIRST PORTION OF YOUR LAST MEAL. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT CNN

WOULD HAVE DONE WITH THAT? WHAT THE OMAHA NEWSPAPER WOULD HAVE

SAID, "PROPHET TAKES WIDOW'S LAST MEAL." "FOR THUS SAITH THE

LORD," HE SAID, "YOUR MEAL BARREL SHALL NOT DIMINISH AND

YOUR CRUCIBLE OIL SHALL NOT FAIL." AND SHE GAVE HIM THE

FIRST PORTION AND THEY ATE. AND WHEN SHE WENT BACK TO THAT MEAL

BARREL, THERE WAS ENOUGH. AND THERE WAS ENOUGH OIL FOR ANOTHER

MEAL AND ANOTHER MEAL AND ANOTHER MEAL AND ANOTHER MEAL

AND DAY AFTER DAY AND WEEK AFTER WEEK AND MONTH AFTER MONTH. THE

HISTORIAN BIBLE TEACHERS TEACH THAT SHE COOKED A THOUSAND MEALS

OUT OF THAT EMPTY BARREL UNTIL THE RAINS CAME AND THEY COULD

PLANT THEIR CROPS AGAIN. HE GOES BACK TO TOWN AND HAS A CONTEST

WITH THE PROPHETS OF BAAL. KILLS THEM ALL. YOU CAN DO THAT THEN.

YOU CAN TAKE OUT YOUR SWORD AND KILL THEM ALL, AND HE DID.

KILLED 450 PROPHETS OF BAAL. YOU CAN DO THAT THEN. DON'T YOU WISH

SOMETIMES, OH NEVER MIND. EVERYBODY KNOWS SOMEBODY THAT

NEEDS TO DIE. DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW THEIR NAME.

SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW WOULDN'T BE MISSED AT ALL. I

OFTEN THINK MAYBE I COULD GET A LICENSE JUST TO KILL ONE PERSON

A YEAR. WELL YOU CAN GET A DEER LICENSE, YOU CAN GET A DUCK

LICENSE, YOU CAN GET A GOOSE LICENSE, YOU CAN GET A FISH, WHY

NOT A PERSON LICENSE? EVERYBODY HERE, YOU KNOW SOMEBODY THAT

NEEDS TO DIE, YOU DO. PROBLEM IS I THINK IF I HAD THAT IS BEFORE

I GOT TO USE MY LICENSE, THEY'D USE THEIRS ON ME. SO I GUESS I

BETTER FORGET THAT. BUT AFTER THAT, HE HAD TO RUN FOR HIS LIFE

BECAUSE SHE PUT OUT A CONTRACT ON HIM. SHE PUT THE MAFIA ON HIM

AND HE WOUND UP UNDER A TREE AND THE ANGELS HAD TO COME AND FEED

HIM. WHINING, GRIPING, COMPLAINING, "GOD, I'M THE ONLY

ONE, I'M THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS, GOD. WHY HAS ALL THIS

HAPPENED TO ME?" ARE YOU A COMPLAINER? LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD,

DON'T LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) AND HE

WOUND UP IN A CAVE, HIDING. AND FIRST THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE.

AND NEXT THERE WAS A WIND. AND NEXT THERE WAS A FIRE. BUT GOD

WASN'T IN THE EARTHQUAKE, HE WASN'T IN THE WIND, HE WASN'T IN

THE FIRE. THEN THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE STILL, SMALL VOICE OF GOD

CAME TO HIM." IT SAID, "COME OUT OF THE CAVE. GO DOWN AND ANOINT

THIS ONE TO BE KING, AND ANOINT THIS ONE TO BE KING, AND ANOINT

ELISHA TO TAKE YOUR PLACE." THE STILL, SMALL VOICE OF GOD. BUT

IT'S HARD TO HEAR THE STILL, SMALL VOICE OF GOD WHEN YOU'RE

RUNNING AROUND LIKE A CHICKEN WITH YOUR HEAD CUT OFF. THAT'S

WHY THE BIBLE SAYS, "STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE

LORD." QUESTION IS NOT, "DOES GOD SPEAK?" QUESTION IS, "DO YOU

LISTEN WHEN HE SPEAKS?" WHEN YOU HEAR THAT STILL, SMALL VOICE ON

THE INSIDE, AND YOU SAY, "WELL, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?" IT

CAME FROM GOD. LISTEN TO THAT VOICE. IT MAY COME THROUGH

PROPHECY. IT MAY COME INSIDE YOU. THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE

LORD SPEAK TO ME, I DON'T KNOW REALLY IF I HEARD IT WITH MY

EARS OR IF I HEARD IT INSIDE ME, BUT I HEARD IT. CLEAR AS A BELL,

I HEARD IT, JUST LIKE I HEAR IT EVERY MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY ON

TELEVISION WHEN GOD GIVES ME WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE AND I SPEAK

THOSE WORDS AND PEOPLE CALL IN OUR ABUNDANT LIFE PRAYER GROUP

PRAYER LINES AND TESTIFY OF HEALINGS. IT'LL HAPPEN TOMORROW,

IT'LL HAPPEN ON TUESDAY, IT'LL HAPPEN ON WEDNESDAY, IT'LL

HAPPEN ON THURSDAY, IT'LL HAPPEN ON FRIDAY, 'CAUSE IT HAPPENS

EVERY DAY. I HEAR THAT INSIDE ME. I DON'T HEAR IT OVER A PA

SYSTEM, LIKE WITH A MICROPHONE, BUT I HEAR IT INSIDE ME. I HEAR

THAT SOMEBODY'S GOT CANCER, AND IF I'LL SPEAK THAT WORD,

SOMEBODY WILL BE HEALED. AND WE'RE SEEING CANCER HEALINGS

EVERY DAY. WE'RE SEEING HEALINGS OF DIABETES, AND HIGH BLOOD

PRESSURE, AND ARTHRITIS, AND ALL TYPES OF THINGS, EVERY DAY.

THAT'S WHY WE CALL THE PROGRAM THE PLACE FOR MIRACLES. THANK

GOD FOR HIS STILL, SMALL VOICE. PRAISE GOD. AND THEN THIRD, HE

SPEAKS THROUGH DREAMS AND VISIONS. DREAMS AND VISIONS. YOU

SAY, "WELL, SOME OF MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES." WELL, I

UNDERSTAND. JOSEPH MUST HAVE THOUGHT THAT HIS DREAMS WERE

NIGHTMARES. LAYING THERE IN THE PRISON FOR YEARS, AFTER HAVING

SERVED THE LORD ALL OF HIS LIFE, AND HE HAD DREAMED HE SAW THE

SHEATHS COMING DOWN AND BOWING DOWN BEFORE HIM AND THE SUN AND

THE MOON AND THE STARS, AND HIS BOYS, HIS BROTHERS HATED HIM SO

MUCH BECAUSE GOD HAD FAVORED HIM AND HIS FATHER HAD FAVORED HIM

AND GIVEN HIM A COAT OF MANY COLORS. AND ONE DAY WHEN THEY'RE

OUT IN THE FIELD, THEY DECIDED TO GET EVEN WITH THE DREAMER AND

THEY THREW HIM IN A PIT AND WERE ABOUT TO KILL HIM WHEN SUDDENLY

THEY SAW A CARAVAN OF SLAVE TRADERS COMING BY AND BEING GOOD

JEWISH BUSINESSMEN, THEY DECIDED TO SELL HIM. AND HE WOUND UP IN

EGYPT WORKING FOR A MAN NAMED POTIPHAR AND PRETTY SOON HE WAS

THE HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF POTIPHAR AND HIS WIFE HAD

LONGING EYES FOR HIM. YOU KNOW, SHE ROLLED HER BABY BLUE EYES AT

HIM AND HE PICKED THEM UP AND ROLLED THEM RIGHT BACK AT HER.

AND BEFORE LONG SHE CLAIMED THAT HE HAD

RAPED HER. AND JOSEPH FOUND HIMSELF IN PRISON FOR A CRIME HE

DIDN'T COMMIT. HE MUST HAVE THOUGHT THOSE DREAMS HE HAD AS A

YOUNG MAN WERE NIGHTMARES, BUT THEY WERE FROM GOD. THEY WERE

DREAMS FROM GOD. AND ONE DAY HE WAS ABLE TO INTERPRET PHARAOH'S

DREAM, THE KING'S DREAM, AND BECAUSE PHARAOH WAS SO PLEASED

WITH IT, HE BROUGHT HIM OUT OF PRISON, PUT THE ROYAL ROBE

AROUND HIM AND MADE HIM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE NATION. AND HE

WAS THE ONE WHO GATHERED IN ALL THE SURPLUS DURING THE SEVEN

YEARS OF PLENTY FOR THE SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE THAT THE

PROPHECY SAID, OR THE DREAM I SHOULD SAY, HAD SAID WOULD

HAPPEN. AND SURE ENOUGH, HIS WHOLE FAMILY, IN FACT THE WHOLE

NATION, HAD TO COME AND BOW BEFORE HIM JUST LIKE GOD HAD

SAID IN A DREAM. A LOT OF YOU HAVE HAD DREAMS. AND I'M NOT

TALKING ABOUT THE KIND OF DREAM THAT YOU KNOW YOU DREAMED, BUT

WHEN YOU WAKE UP YOU FORGET WHAT YOU DREAMED. I'M NOT TALKING

ABOUT THAT. I'M TALKING ABOUT DREAMS THAT ARE INSIDE YOUR

HEART. THAT YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW THEY ARE OF GOD. DON'T LET GO OF

YOUR DREAM. DON'T TURN LOOSE OF

YOUR VISION. GOD IS NOT FINISHED YET. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE

PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT JESUS IS COMING THIS FALL. I SAW A SIGN

DRIVING UP HERE WITH DR. JEFF YESTERDAY. IT SAID, "JESUS IS

COMING SOON." THE SOON INDICATED HE WAS COMING, YOU KNOW, WITHIN

THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. WELL, MAYBE HE IS, I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S NOT

MY JOB TO FIGURE THAT OUT. STOP TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

PEOPLE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT ARE TRYING TO BE TOO DOGGONE

ANALYTICAL. STOP TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. EVEN JESUS

DOESN'T KNOW WHEN HE'S COMING. ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS. NOW HE

MAY COME NEXT MONTH, HE MAY NOT, I DON'T KNOW. I WAS RAISED BY A

FAMILY THAT BELIEVED YOU ARE TO BE PREPARED FOR HIS SECOND

COMING IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, BUT TO WORK LIKE HE'S NOT

COMING FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. WELL I'M NOT GOING TO BUY

INSURANCE YOU SEE BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING. WELL HOW DUMB CAN YOU

GET AND STILL BREATHE? DON'T TURN LOOSE OF YOUR DREAM. DON'T

TURN LOOSE OF YOUR VISION. GOD'S NOT FINISHED YET. THE LAST

CHAPTER HAS NOT BEEN WRITTEN. AND THEN FOURTH, HE SPEAKS

THROUGH HIS WORD. HE SPEAKS THROUGH HIS WORD. AND HE WRITES

LIKE HE TALKS, AND HE TALKS LIKE HE WRITES. YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL

WHEN IT'S GOD, BECAUSE IT'LL BE CONFIRMED BY THE BIBLE. I

REMEMBER ONE NIGHT, OH, IT'S BEEN SOME YEARS AGO, AT THAT

TIME WE WERE DOING A LIVE TV SHOW AT NIGHT. I'VE DONE LIVE TV

A LOT IN MY LIFE. OVER ALL MY LIFETIME, I THINK I'VE DONE SOME

25 YEARS OF LIVE TELEVISION, EITHER DURING THE DAY OR AT

NIGHT. NOW I'M DOING IT AT NOON. BUT AT ONE TIME, BACK IN THE

'90S, I WAS DOING IT AT NIGHT. AND ONE NIGHT, LINDSAY AND I

WERE ON TELEVISION, AND CLEAR AS A BELL, I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE

LORD INSIDE ME SAY, "PUT UP YOUR HANDS "AND TELL PEOPLE TO COME

TOUCH YOUR HANDS "AND PRAY FOR THEM." NOW WE WERE LIVE ON THE

AIR THAT NIGHT WHEN THAT HAPPENED. AND IT STUNNED ME,

FIRST OF ALL. AND I DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE I WAS SCARED. I WAS

SCARED BECAUSE OF WHAT SOMEBODY MIGHT THINK. AND I WAS TALKING

TO THE LORD UNDER MY BREATH WHILE I WAS TALKING ON

TELEVISION LIVE. HAVE YOU EVER TALKED UNDER YOUR BREATH WHILE

YOU'RE TALKING TO SOMEBODY ELSE? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I'M HAVING AN ARGUMENT WITH GOD, AND I'M TELLING, I DON'T WANT TO

DO THAT. GOD, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT THINK I'M CRAZY

ALREADY. I DON'T WANT TO HELP THEM TO BELIEVE EVEN STRONGER BY

PUTTING UP MY HANDS AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I'M MAKING A SPECTACLE

OUT OF MY HANDS. AND SO I DISOBEYED GOD, I DID NOT DO IT.

WELL, THE PROGRAM WAS OVER, AND LINDSAY AND I WENT BACK TO OUR

HOUSE, AND I WAS JUST, I WAS REALLY SUFFERING, BECAUSE I KNEW

HOW I HAD DISOBEYED GOD, BUT I JUST DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK

I WAS SOME KIND OF NUT. AND SO LINDSEY SAID, "WELL, WHY DON'T

YOU CALL YOUR DAD?" HE WAS OUT IN CALIFORNIA, SO I CALLED HIM,

AND I SAID, "DAD, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE PROGRAM." HE

SAID, "WELL, I WAS WATCHING YOU TONIGHT." AND HE SAID, "WHAT

HAPPENED?" I SAID, "WELL, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROGRAM,

"THE LORD SAID, 'PUT UP YOUR HANDS, AND TELL PEOPLE TO TOUCH

YOUR HANDS AS YOU PRAY.' AND I SAID, 'DAD, I DIDN'T DO IT.' HE

SAID, 'WHY NOT?' I SAID, 'I DID IT BECAUSE I WAS EMBARRASSED. I

DIDN'T WANT SOMEBODY TO THINK I WAS A NUT OR CRAZY. THEY ALL,

PEOPLE THINK I'M NUTS ANYWAY, YOU KNOW. THEY MOCK ME AND I

DON'T, I DON'T.' THE LORD, OR MY FATHER BEGAN TO LAUGH. AND I

SAID, 'WHAT'S SO FUNNY? WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?' AND HE SAID,

"OPEN YOUR BIBLE TO THE BOOK OF ACTS." HE TOOK ME TO THE

SCRIPTURE WHERE IT SAID, GOD WROUGHT SPECIAL MIRACLES THROUGH

THE HANDS OF PAUL. AND I HAD A SCRIPTURE. I KNEW I WAS BACKED

UP BY THE WORD OF GOD. THE NEXT NIGHT, I SAID, "LORD, IF YOU

WOULD, "SAY THAT TO ME ONE MORE TIME."

I'M NOT JUST GONNA DO IT, I'M GONNA WAIT 'TIL YOU SAY IT. NEXT

NIGHT, ABOUT HALFWAY INTO THE PROGRAM, SURE ENOUGH, I HEARD

THE LORD SAY, "PUT YOUR HANDS UP LIKE THIS AND BEGIN TO PRAY."

MAN, MY HANDS SHOT UP. I SAID, "COME OVER TO YOUR TELEVISION

SCREEN. "PUT YOUR HANDS UP AGAINST MY HANDS. "LET MY HANDS

BE A POINT OF CONTACT FOR HEALING." THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO

WAS WATCHING THAT NIGHT. SHE HAD STUTTERED FOR 40 YEARS. WHEN SHE

HEARD ME SAY THAT, SHE RAN OVER TO HER TELEVISION, PUT HER HANDS

UP AGAINST MY HANDS, AND AFTER 40 YEARS, HER STUTTERING

STOPPED. I'LL NEVER FORGET IT. EVER SINCE

THEN, THAT'S BEEN YEARS AGO, EVER SINCE THEN I'VE

NEVER BEEN ASHAMED, PUT MY HANDS UP AND SAY, LET MY HANDS BECOME

A POINT OF CONTACT. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT, I'M GONNA SAY IT

AGAIN, GOD SPEAKS LIKE HE TALKS AND HE TALKS LIKE HE, HE SPEAKS

LIKE HE WRITES AND HE WRITES LIKE HE TALKS. WHEN YOU HAVE A

WORD FROM GOD, IT WILL BE CONFIRMED IN THE BIBLE OR IT'S

NOT FROM GOD. THAT'S HOW YOU TELL. YOU TALK ABOUT A LITMUS

TEST, THIS IS IT, MY FRIENDS. THIS IS THE LITMUS TEST. BUT

THIS WORD ISN'T GONNA GET IN YOU UNTIL YOU PUT IT IN YOU. I WAS

IN THE HOME OF ONE OF OUR PARTNERS AND WE HAD SENT THEM A

BIBLE WITH THEIR NAME ON IT. AND THEY SAID, "RICHARD, WE WANT YOU

TO SEE OUR BIBLE." AND THEY WENT OVER TO THE COUNTER AND THEY

PICKED IT UP AND THEY DUSTED IT OFF AND THEY SHOWED IT TO ME.

THE PAGES WERE STILL STUCK TOGETHER. WON'T DO YOU MUCH GOOD

ON THE SHELF. ONLY DOES GOOD WHEN YOU SEW IT INTO THE GARDEN

OF YOUR HEART. NOW MY WIFE WEARS OUT BIBLES FASTER THAN I DO. SHE

CAME IN ONE MORNING AND SHE SAID, HAVE YOU SEEN HEBREWS? I

SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? SHE SAID, HEBREWS FELL OUT OF MY

BIBLE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) OF COURSE, SHE'S USING IT A LOT.

MY BIBLE GETS ALL MARKED UP. I USE YELLOW, BLUE, I USE PURPLE

WRITING IN MY, YOU KNOW. MY BIBLE GETS BEATEN UP. SOMETIMES

I GOT THE DEVIL COMING AT ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, BUT

STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD. SO I THROW IT ON THE FLOOR AND STAND

ON IT. SAY, DEVIL, HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY, BUT GOD'S

WORD WILL NOT PASS AWAY. I STAND IN ON THE WORD OF GOD. YOU KNOW,

YOU SAY, WELL, MY BIBLE'S FALLING APART. WELL, IF YOUR

BIBLE'S FALLING APART, THANK GOD YOU AREN'T. YOU'VE

GOTTA SOW IT INTO THE GARDEN OF YOUR HEART.

NOW, YOU ALL SEE JOEL OSTEEN ON TELEVISION. HIS DADDY, JOHN, WAS

A MENTOR TO ME. LAKEWOOD CHURCH IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. JOHN TOOK ME

UNDER HIS WING WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN. AND I PUT, MY DAD AND

I PUT JOEL AND ALL OF HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS THROUGH

SCHOOL. IN FACT, HIS SISTER WAS HOMECOMING QUEEN. AND DURING MY

YEARS AS PRESIDENT, I HAD, I WALKED HER AROUND THE BASKETBALL

COURT ON HOMECOMING NIGHT, AND SHE WORE THE HOMECOMING QUEEN.

BUT THE OSTEEN FAMILY HAS BEEN SO PRECIOUS TO ME. AND JOHN

TAUGHT ME THAT THE WORD THAT GOD SPEAKS IS ALIVE. IT'S FULL OF

POWER. IT'S ACTIVE, IT'S ENERGIZING, IT'S SHARPER THAN

ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD. AND WHEN THAT WORD

GETS IN YOU, YOU BECOME ALIVE. YOU

BECOME FULL OF POWER, BUT IT DOESN'T ACTIVATE UNTIL YOU SOW

IT INTO THE GARDEN OF YOUR HEART. BECAUSE WHEN SATAN COMES,

AND HE WILL COME, WHEN HE COMES, YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO SAY, TIME

OUT, DEVIL, LET ME GO FIND MY BIBLE. I'M SURE I SAW IT HERE A

FEW WEEKS AGO. YOU SOW IT INTO THE GARDEN OF YOUR HEART. AND

THEN OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR HEART, YOUR MOUTH WILL

SPEAK. BUT YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK WHAT YOU HAVEN'T LEARNED.

THAT'S ANOTHER WAY THAT HE SPEAKS, IS THROUGH THE BIBLE.

AND THEN THE FINAL WAY I WANT TO SHARE THIS MORNING, IS HE SPEAKS

WHEN YOU PRAY IN TONGUES AND YOU STOP AND YOU INTERPRET BACK.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE TODAY IN CHRISTIAN CIRCLES WHO DO NOT

BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND INTERPRETING LIKE

THE APOSTLE PAUL TAUGHT. YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT IN 1 CORINTHIANS

14. PAUL SAID, "LET HIM WHO PRAYS," OR HER, "WHO PRAYS IN AN

UNKNOWN TONGUE PRAY IN A WAY THAT THEY ALSO MAY INTERPRET."

NOW I KNOW PEOPLE WHO PRAY IN TONGUES. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO DON'T

PRAY IN TONGUES. YOU'RE NOT GONNA GO TO HEAVEN BECAUSE YOU

PRAY IN TONGUES. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE KEPT OUT OF HEAVEN

BECAUSE YOU DON'T PRAY IN TONGUES. YOU'RE GONNA GO TO

HEAVEN BECAUSE YOU BELIEVED ON JESUS. AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS

TO IT. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, I'LL PRAY IN TONGUES WHEN

I GET TO HEAVEN." NO, YOU WON'T. YOU WON'T HAVE ANY NEED TO.

'CAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, "THEN YOU'LL KNOW." OKAY? PRAYING IN

TONGUES IS FOR DOWN HERE. PRAYING IN TONGUES IS TO BUILD

US UP ON THE INSIDE AND ALSO TO GIVE US DIRECTION AND TO HEAR

FROM GOD. THAT'S WHY PRAYING IN TONGUES IS SO IMPORTANT. AND

AFTER YOU PRAY IN TONGUES, THAT YOU STOP AND YOU INTERPRET, YOU

PRAY IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE AND GOD GIVES YOU UNDERSTANDING AND

IDEAS AND NEW INSIGHTS AND NEW CONCEPTS AND NEW AND INNOVATIVE

WAYS OF DOING THINGS THEY'VE NEVER BEFORE.

AND THE WORLD CAN'T DO IT. THEY HAVE NO CLUE. ONLY

THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN CAN PRAY IN TONGUES. I'LL TELL YOU,

PRAYING IN TONGUES IS, IF NOT THE, ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE

THINGS THAT I DO IN MY LIFE. YOU ALL ARE WORSHIPING UP HERE THIS

MORNING. YOU'RE SINGING AND WORSHIPING THE LORD. I WASN'T

WORSHIPING. I WAS STANDING THERE PRAYING IN TONGUES, TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M GONNA PREACH THIS MORNING. I

HAD SOME NOTES, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ALL THIS THAT I

WAS GONNA SAY. YOU KNOW, I DON'T OVER PLAN. I TRY TO BE A PERSON

OF SPONTANEITY. I WANT TO MINISTER WHERE PEOPLE ARE, NOT

WHERE I THINK THEY ARE. I WANNA GET TO FEEL YOU. AND HOW DO I

FEEL YOU? I WAS STANDING THERE RIGHT THERE NEXT TO DR. JEFF.

I'M JUST PRAYING IN TONGUES AND QUIETLY PRAYING. YOU DIDN'T HEAR

ME. I WASN'T MAKING A SPECTACLE OUT OF IT. I DON'T WEAR A BADGE

THAT SAYS, "LOOK AT ME, "I'M BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,

"I'M BETTER THAN YOU," 'CAUSE I'M NOT. I DON'T PRAY IN TONGUES

'CAUSE I'M BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE. I PRAY IN TONGUES 'CAUSE I

NEED HELP. I NEED HELP. I'M NOT THAT

SMART, BELIEVE ME, MY WIFE CAN TELL YOU THAT, I'M NOT THAT

SMART. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND. BUT WHEN I,

(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) WHEN I BEGIN TO PRAY IN TONGUES,

AND THEN I STOP, AND I PRAY IN ENGLISH, THINGS COME OUT OF MY

MOUTH THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF. SUDDENLY I GET IDEAS AND

INSIGHTS, AND I GET UNDERSTANDING, AND I KNOW WHAT

TO DO. I KNOW WHERE TO GO, AND I KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN I GET

THERE. THAT'S HOW GOD LEADS ME, AND THAT'S HOW GOD SPEAKS TO ME.

THOSE FIVE WAYS ARE FIVE WAYS THAT GOD WILL SPEAK IN YOUR

HEART IF YOU LISTEN AND IF YOU'LL OBEY. IN JESUS' NAME. NOW

RAISE YOUR HANDS UP LIKE THIS AND SAY THIS OUT LOUD. FATHER.

- [CONGREGATION] FATHER.

- TODAY. - TODAY.

- I'VE HEARD YOUR WORD. - I'VE HEARD YOUR WORD.

- AND I RECEIVE THIS WORD. - AND I RECEIVE THIS WORD.

- I WANNA HEAR YOU. - I WANNA HEAR YOU.

- I HEAR OTHER VOICES. - I HEAR OTHER VOICES.

- BUT I WANNA HEAR YOU. - BUT I WANNA HEAR YOU.

- AND I THANK YOU. - AND I THANK YOU.

- THAT YOU'RE NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. THAT IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO

ABRAHAM, IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO MOSES, IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO

DANIEL, IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO DAVID, IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO

ELIJAH, IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO ELISHA, IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO MARY,

IF YOU'LL SPEAK TO PETER AND PAUL, THEN YOU'LL SPEAK TO ME.

AND I THANK YOU, LORD. MY EARS ARE OPEN. NO MATTER HOW YOU

CHOOSE TO SPEAK, I WILL RECEIVE IT. BUT MORE THAN THAT, I'LL BE

OBEDIENT TO WHAT YOU SAY. IN JESUS' NAME. NOW SOMEBODY GIVE

PRAISE TO THE LORD. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

HALLELUJAH. COME ON, GIVE HIM PRAISE TODAY.

THANK THE LORD. THANK THE LORD. NOW WHO NEEDS

HEALING IN YOUR BACK TODAY? STAND UP. WHO NEEDS HEALING FROM

PAIN IN YOUR BACK? WHO NEEDS HEALING FROM PAIN IN YOUR

SHOULDER? STAND UP. PRAYED FOR MY DENTIST THE DAY BEFORE

YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW? DON'T USUALLY PRAY FOR MY DENTIST. BUT

HE'D HAD AN INJURY AND I PRAYED FOR HIM. GOD HEALED HIM. WHO HAS

A NEED OF HEALING IN YOUR KNEES? OR YOUR FEET OR YOUR HIPS?

BECAUSE IT'S ONLY GOING TO TAKE A MOMENT, ONLY A MOMENT FOR GOD

TO TOUCH YOU. AND HERE'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I'M GOING TO

BEGIN TO PRAY AND I'M GOING TO STRETCH OUT MY LEFT HAND BECAUSE

THAT'S THE HAND THAT GOD SAID HE WOULD ANOINT. AND WHEN I DO,

THERE'S A POWER THAT'S GOING TO FLOW DOWN MY ARM INTO MY HAND

AND IT WILL SHOOT OUT OF MY FINGERS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERY

TIME I PRAY FOR SOMEONE. AND WHEN IT BEGINS TO COME OUT OF MY

FINGERS, IT'S GONNA BEGIN TO TOUCH PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THIS

CHURCH. HEALING IS GONNA BEGIN TO HAPPEN. NOW, GOD USED MY

FATHER'S HANDS. HE LAID HANDS PHYSICALLY ON PEOPLE. BUT HE

SPOKE TO ME AND SAID, "I'M GONNA USE THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

THROUGH YOU. "YOU'LL SPEAK." HE SAID, "YOU'LL FEEL THAT POWER

COMING UP IN YOUR CHEST "AND INTO YOUR THROAT, AND WHEN YOU

SPEAK, "PEOPLE WILL BE HEALED." MY FATHER HAD PROPHESIED THAT

WHEN I GO OVERSEAS, THE CROWDS WOULD BE SO LARGE, I COULDN'T

LAY HANDS ON THEM ANYWAY. WHEN I WAS IN KENYA IN A CRUSADE, WE

HAD 200,000 PEOPLE THE LAST NIGHT. AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU

COULD LAY HANDS ON 200,000 PEOPLE. AND SO GOD WAS EXACTLY

RIGHT AS HE ALWAYS IS. SO WHEN I SPEAK, I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER

THAT STORY THAT I TOLD EARLIER ABOUT THE WARTS. YOU REMEMBER

THAT? YOU TAKE YOUR FAITH AND YOU LET IT GO TO GOD. AND I PRAY

OVER YOUR FEET, YOUR ANKLE, YOUR KNEE, YOUR HIP, YOUR BACK, YOUR

SHOULDER, YOUR NECK. YOU USE YOUR FAITH, OKAY? DON'T LOOK AT

ME, I'M JUST AN INSTRUMENT. BUT I'M HOOKED UP TO THE ONE WHO HAS

THE HEALING. SO LAY YOUR HAND ON YOURSELF RIGHT NOW. LOOK HOW

MANY PEOPLE ARE STANDING. MY GOODNESS, IN THE AUTHORITY OF

THE NAME, HERE COMES HEALING RIGHT NOW, IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

I SEND THAT HEALING WORD INTO YOU RIGHT NOW. I SEND IT TO YOU.

THE HEALING TOUCH OF GOD COMES INTO YOUR SHOULDER, INTO YOUR

ELBOW, INTO YOUR HANDS, INTO YOUR FEET, INTO YOUR KNEES, INTO

YOUR HIPS. NOW, SATAN, YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF. I REBUKE THIS

ARTHRITIS PAIN. I REBUKE THE PROBLEM, THE PAIN RESULTING FROM

THE SURGERY. I REBUKE IT IN JESUS' NAME. EVERY PAIN IN THE

HIP, COME OUT. EVERY PAIN IN THE KNEES, IN THE FEET, COME OUT.

EVERY PAIN IN THE SHOULDER, IN THE BACK, EVERY DISC, EVERY

VERTEBRA, SPINE, I LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD. I SEND THE

HEALING WORD OF GOD TO YOU NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS. YOU FOUL,

TORMENTING ATTACK, YOU STOP IT. THAT'S ENOUGH. IN THE NAME OF

JESUS. NOW JUST LIFT YOUR HANDS AND BEGIN TO THANK HIM AND

PRAISE HIM FOR HEALING THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW

IN JESUS' NAME, RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW. PEOPLE ARE BEING HEALED

RIGHT NOW. PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO FIND, BE ABLE TO MOVE

THEIR SHOULDER WITHOUT PAIN, MOVE YOUR KNEE WITHOUT PAIN,

MOVE YOUR FEET WITHOUT PAIN. PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO BEND

AND FIND WHAT'S HAPPENING. JUST EXAMINE YOURSELF RIGHT NOW. JUST

EXAMINE YOURSELF. SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING. OH, IT TAKES A MOMENT

FOR THE POWER AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD TO MOVE IN. JUST EXAMINE

YOURSELF RIGHT NOW. HOW MANY OF YOU CAN ALREADY TELL SOMETHING'S

HAPPENING, SOMETHING'S CHANGING RIGHT NOW? YOU FEEL DIFFERENT,

YOU FEEL HEALING. WAVE YOUR HAND AT ME. LOOK AT THAT, LOOK HOW

MANY HANDS. HOLD THEM UP HIGH. IF YOU'RE HAVING A HEALING IN

YOUR NECK OR YOUR BACK OR YOUR SHOULDERS, YOUR FEET, OR YOUR

LEGS, YOUR KNEES, STEP OUT IN THE AISLE AND COME RIGHT DOWN

HERE REAL QUICK. I MEAN, IF YOU CAN TELL, JUST SINCE WE PRAYED

JUST NOW, YOU CAN TELL THERE'S A HEALING. TURN AROUND AND FACE

THE PEOPLE. LOOK AT THIS. PASTOR MATTHEW, YOU SAID HEALING WAS IN

THE HOUSE. HE SAID IT. LOOK AT

THIS. LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE. NOW, MAY I ASK YOU

A QUESTION? DID I TOUCH ANYBODY? I DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH THEM. IT'S

NOT MY TOUCH THAT THEY NEED. IT'S THE TOUCH OF THE LORD.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. LOOK AT THIS, LOOK

AT THIS. MY GOODNESS, THERE ARE MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE DOWN HERE.

LOOK AT THAT. NOW, YOU HERE IN THE FRONT,

IF IT WAS YOUR KNEE GOT HEALED, PUT YOUR HAND UP. IF

IT'S YOUR KNEE, HOLD YOUR HAND UP. OKAY, IF IT'S YOUR SHOULDER,

PUT YOUR HAND UP. IF IT'S YOUR FEET OR YOUR LEGS, PUT YOUR HAND

UP. IF IT'S YOUR ANKLE, IF IT'S YOUR HAND, IF IT'S YOUR BACK,

WAVE YOUR HAND AT ME. LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT THAT.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) LOOK, MY FRIENDS, JESUS HAS NOT GONE

OUT OF THE HEALING BUSINESS. HE'S THE SAME. PASTOR DOUG READ

IT THIS MORNING. "BELOVED, I WISH YOU ABOVE ALL THINGS "THAT

YOU PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH." THAT'S HEALING. "EVEN AS YOUR

SOUL PROSPERS." IN OTHER WORDS, HE WANTS YOU WELL FROM THE CROWN

OF YOUR HEAD TO THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET. AND EVERY PLACE IN

BETWEEN. HE GETS NO GLORY OUT OF YOU BEING SICK. OKAY? SICKNESS

IS LIKE DEATH, TRYING TO REACH OUT AND TAKE YOU OUT OF

EXISTENCE. BUT JESUS CAME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE, HEALTH,

HEALING, AND WHOLENESS. PRAISE GOD. NOW ALL OF YOU STAND HERE

IN THE FRONT. ARE YOU TESTIFYING YOU'VE RECEIVED A HEALING? IF

YOU ARE, PUT YOUR HAND UP. LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT THAT. SOMEBODY

GIVE PRAISE TO THE LORD. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) NOW, ALL

OF YOU GO BACK TO YOUR SEATS, ALL OF YOU GO BACK TO YOUR

SEATS. IF YOU HAVE A NEED OF HEALING IN YOUR EYES, I WANT YOU

TO STAND UP. A NEED OF HEALING IN YOUR EYES, STAND UP. YOU HAVE

A NEED OF HEALING IN YOUR HEARING, I WANT YOU TO STAND UP.

YOU HAVE A NEED OF HEALING IN YOUR STOMACH, GASTRO AREA HERE,

KIDNEY, LIVER, LOWER TRACT, DIGESTION, COLON, GALLBLADDER,

ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ANYONE HAS A NEED OF HEALING IN YOUR

BREATHING, ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA, COPD, ANY LUNG CONDITION, YOU

STAND UP. ANYONE HERE WHO HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SOME TYPE OF

CANCER, MALIGNANCY, A TUMOR, A MASS OR GROWTH, YOU STAND UP IF

YOU CAN. SO ANYONE HERE WHO'S BEEN SUFFERING WITH DIABETES OF

ANY TYPE, TYPE TWO OR TYPE ONE, WHATEVER TYPE IT IS, YOU STAND

UP. ANYONE WHO HAS A NEED OF HEALING IN YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE,

TOO HIGH, TOO LOW, YOU STAND UP. OR ANY HEART PROBLEM, HEART

RELATED PROBLEM. ANYONE WITH ANY TYPE OF HEART RELATED

PROBLEM, YOU STAND UP. NOW LOOK AT ME. YOU SAW WHAT GOD

JUST DID. YOU KNOW THAT HE HAS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. WHY

WOULD HE DO IT FOR THEM AND NOT YOU? IT MAKES NO SENSE. SO WHEN

I PRAY, AND WHEN THAT POWER, WHEN I FEEL THAT COMING DOWN MY

ARM AGAIN LIKE I DID A MOMENT AGO, AND THAT POWER OF GOD, NOT

MY POWER, BUT GOD'S POWER, BEGINS TO SHOOT OUT MY HAND, AND

I BEGIN TO SAY WHAT I SAY, "YOU LET YOUR FAITH GO TO GOD."

YOU'RE NOT SO MUCH LISTENING TO ME AS YOU ARE LETTING YOUR FAITH

GO TO GOD AND EXPECTING HIM TO DO THE HEALING. NOW SOMEONE WHO

IS SITTING DOWN, REACH OUT TOWARDS SOMEONE WHO'S STANDING

RIGHT NOW. REACH OUT TOWARD THEM. FATHER, IT IS NOT BY

MIGHT, AND IT IS NOT BY POWER, BUT IT IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

THAT I SPEAK THIS WORD OF HEALING. YOU FOUL, TORMENTING

BLOOD PRESSURE AND BLOOD SUGAR PROBLEM, I ARREST YOU. I COMMAND

YOU, COME OUT. LORD, LET THAT, HERE IT COMES, LET THAT POWER

JUST FLOW RIGHT INTO THE PEOPLE, RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME. HIGH

BLOOD PRESSURE, COME DOWN. LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, COME UP. HIGH

BLOOD SUGAR, COME DOWN. LOW BLOOD SUGAR, COME UP. WE'VE SEEN

SO MANY HEALINGS IN BLOOD SUGAR LATELY ON TELEVISION. DIABETES,

BE HEALED. HYPOGLYCEMIA, COME OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS. IT'S

THIS, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, OKAY. THE HEART PALPITATIONS,

THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEART, THE IRREGULAR BEATS AND THE SKIPPING

OF BEATS AND THE ARRHYTHMIA PROBLEM AND THE ARTERIES THAT

ARE PLUGGED UP. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, EVERY ARTERY OPEN UP SO

THAT THE BLOOD MAY FLOW UNRESTRICTED. IN THE NAME OF

JESUS. SOMEBODY'S HAD A, YOU'VE HAD ALMOST LIKE LOCKJAW. YOU CAN

HARDLY OPEN THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR MOUTH AND YOU'RE GOING TO

FIND YOU'RE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE OPEN RIGHT NOW. IT'S

A FORM OF TMJ AND YOU'RE BEING HEALED IN YOUR JAW ON THE RIGHT

SIDE RIGHT NOW. THAT'S A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE. IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

I SPEAK TO THE BLOOD PRESSURE AND THE BLOOD SUGAR AND THE

HEART CONDITION. COME OUT, HEART BEAT NORMALLY. HEART WHICH IS

TOO BIG, COME DOWN TO NORMAL SIZE. BEAT NORMALLY, NO

SKIPPING, NO ARRHYTHMIA. BLOOD FLOW UNRESTRICTED THROUGHOUT

EVERY PART OF YOUR BEING IN JESUS' NAME. HA, HA, HA, YEAH,

BREATHING CONDITION, ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA, ALLERGIES, SINUSES,

BRONCHIAL PROBLEM. IN THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS' NAME, AND

COPD, COME OUT! GOODNESS, THERE'S POWER IN THAT. COME OUT

IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND ENTER AGAIN NO MORE FOREVER. JUST

BEGIN BREATHING IN DEEPLY NOW. NO MORE COUGHING. NO MORE

CATCHING YOUR BREATH. NO MORE STITCHING THE SIDE WHEN YOU

BREATHE. I REBUKE THAT NOW IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME. THANK YOU,

FATHER, FOR IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU,

FATHER, FOR IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. LOSS

OF HEARING, EUSTACHIAN TUBE, EARDRUM. OPEN UP. HEARING BE

HEALED. MY GOODNESS, WHEN I SAY THAT, THERE'S A POWER THAT COMES

FROM HERE. IT'S GOD, IT'S NOT ME. IT'S HIM COMING THROUGH ME.

SOMEONE'S EAR IS OPENING RIGHT NOW. HEARING'S COMING RIGHT NOW

IN JESUS' NAME. BLINDNESS, CATARACT, GLAUCOMA, BLURRED

VISION, RETINAL PROBLEM, PUPIL PROBLEM, IRIS PROBLEM, EYEBALL

PROBLEM, OPTIC NERVE PROBLEM, BE HEALED. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I

SEND THAT HEALING WORD TO YOUR EYES RIGHT NOW. IN JESUS' MIGHTY

NAME. AND I BELIEVE GOD. SICKLE CELL, COME OUT IN JESUS' MIGHTY

NAME. STOMACH CONDITION, KIDNEY, LIVER, LOWER TRACT, DIGESTION,

HERNIA, ULCER, COLON, GALLBLADDER, BE HEALED,

PANCREAS, BE HEALED IN THE NAME OF JESUS. EVERY TRACE OF CANCER,

EVERY GROWTH, EVERY MALIGNANCY, EVERY TUMOR, EVERY MASS, I TAKE

HOLD OF YOU BY FAITH AND PULL YOU OUT. I PLACE A BLOOD

COVERING OVER EACH ONE OF YOU. A COVERING OF THE SHED BLOOD OF

JESUS. I DISPATCH HIS ANGELS. YOU KNOW, YOU DIDN'T LOSE YOUR

GUARDIAN ANGEL JUST 'CAUSE YOU GREW UP. ANGELS ARE MINISTERING

SPIRITS FOR YOU, NOT TO YOU, BUT FOR YOU, THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. I

DISPATCH ANGELS TO ENCAMP ABOUT YOU AND TO KEEP YOU SAFE FROM

HARM, DANGER, ACCIDENT, INJURY, PILFERING, THEFT, HIJACKING, AND

TERRORISM, WHICH IS RAMPANT IN OUR COUNTRY. I SPEAK THAT WORD

OF YOU OVER YOU FOR YOUR HOLY SPIRIT PROTECTION IN JESUS'

NAME. NOW BEGIN TO EXAMINE YOURSELF, PEOPLE BEING HEALED

RIGHT NOW. PEOPLE BEGIN TO SEE BETTER, PEOPLE BEGIN TO HEAR

BETTER. PEOPLE ARE FINDING THE PAIN, THE DEBILITATING PAIN IS

GOING. ONE PERSON, EVERY TIME YOU EAT, EVERY TIME YOU EAT, YOU

GOTTA GO TO THE BATHROOM. EVERY TIME YOU EAT, YOU GOTTA GO TO

THE BATHROOM. AND YOU'RE SO TIRED OF THAT. THAT'S ENDING

TODAY. THAT'S ENDING TODAY. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) I'M

TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY THAT HAD THAT FOR MONTHS, NOT DAYS,

MONTHS. THAT'S ENDING NOW. AND THE PERSON, YOUR JAW IS LIKE,

IT'S UNLOCKING. IF YOU'RE BEING HEALED, IF YOU CAN TELL YOU'RE

BEING HEALED RIGHT NOW, WAVE YOUR HAND AT ME, I WANNA SEE

YOU. HOLD UP, HOLD YOUR HAND UP HIGH. HOLD UP HIGH, HOLD UP

HIGH. IF YOU CAN TELL RIGHT NOW YOU'RE BEING HEALED, COME DOWN

HERE, COME DOWN HERE, COME ON, COME ON. DON'T WAIT, COME ON.

NOW BRING THAT RED, WHITE, AND BLUE HAT RIGHT DOWN HERE. COME

ON. NOW WHY AM I HAVING YOU COME DOWN HERE? 'CAUSE I WANT PEOPLE

TO SEE THAT WHAT I SAID GOD WAS GONNA DO, GOD IS DOING. GOD'LL

STAND UP TO THE TEST. DIDN'T HE SAY, "PROVE ME"? WE'RE PROVING

HIM TODAY. WE'RE PROVING THAT WE'RE SERVING A LIVE GOD, NOT A

DEAD GOD. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) AND HE'S NOT DOING

THIS JUST BECAUSE I'M HERE. HE'S DOING IT BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE.

'CAUSE YOU NEED HEALING. AND THAT'S THE CALL OF GOD ON MY

LIFE. AND I THANK GOD FOR THAT. AND I THANK GOD THAT THAT

ANOINTING, THAT POWER THAT'S ON ME IS STRONGER THAN IT HAS EVER

BEEN. AND I GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE TO GOD. SOMEBODY HAS,

YEAH, YEAH, YOU'VE GOT A, YOU HAD SOME KIND OF ROD OR

SOMETHING PUT IN ONE OF YOUR ARMS SOME TIME AGO. IT'S GIVING

YOU LOTS OF PAIN AND PROBLEM. WELL, WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU'RE

GONNA FIND THE PAIN'S GONE AND IT WON'T AFFECT YOU ANYMORE.

WHERE'S THAT FOR YOU? YOU'VE GOT SOME KIND OF ROD IN YOUR ARMOR.

WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU HERE? WHERE YOU ARE? WHERE? COULD BE

ONLINE. HI THERE. HOW ARE YOU? MUST NOT FORGET THE ONLINE.

THANK GOD. BY THE WAY, SINCE YOU'RE ONLINE, WHY DON'T YOU LET

PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA KNOW WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOUR LIFE IN

THIS SERVICE. MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THAT PERSON IS. PRAISE GOD, A

LOT OF TIMES IT HAPPENS ONLINE. NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU STANDING

DOWN HERE IN FRONT CAN TELL YOU'RE BEING HEALED? PUT YOUR

HAND UP, I WANNA SEE IT. NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU, IT'S YOUR EYES,

PUT YOUR HAND UP. HOW MANY, IT'S YOUR HEARING, PUT YOUR HAND UP.

HOW MANY, IT'S YOUR STOMACH OR YOUR KIDNEY, YOUR LIVER, YOUR

LOWER TRACT, WHATEVER IT IS. HOW MANY, IT'S YOUR BREATHING. NOW

LOOK AT THAT. HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) YOU KNOW, THE QUESTION IS, DOES NOT

GOD HEAL? QUESTION IS, DO WE BELIEVE?

- YES. - AND WE DO, DON'T WE? ALL

RIGHT, Y'ALL GO BACK TO YOUR SEAT NOW.

NOW HAVE ANOTHER, ONE MORE WORD. ONE MORE WORD. I DON'T

KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS, BUT I'M SURE THE LORD WILL TELL

ME IN A MINUTE. I HAVE ONE MORE WORD. THE LORD SAID, "TELL THEM

ONE MORE THING." WELL, LORD, WHAT'S THE ONE MORE THING YOU

WANT ME TO TELL THEM? OKAY, GOT IT. HERE AGAIN, IT'S THAT STILL,

SMALL VOICE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU DO ALL THE TALKING, IT'S

HARD TO HEAR. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE, YOU

GET THREE OR FOUR WORDS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND THEY INTERRUPT

YOU? LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD, DON'T LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) YOU GOTTA LET GOD GET A WORD IN

EDGEWISE. I HAVE A FRIEND, LIVES DOWN IN DALLAS. AND HE SAID, "I

GET UP IN THE MORNING EARLY, "AND FIRST THING I DO, I PRAY IN

TONGUES FOR HALF AN HOUR. "THEN HE SAID, I STOP AND I LISTEN FOR

HALF AN HOUR." I SAID, "THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S REALLY GOOD." YOU

KNOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, THEY'RE SPEAKING

ON BOTH SIDES. OR JUST HAVE A MONOLOGUE. AND YOU CAN WATCH

JIMMY FALLON FOR THAT, YOU KNOW. I DON'T WATCH HIM, BUT, YOU

KNOW, THEY DO MONOLOGUES. YOU CAN'T TALK BACK. BUT GOD IS A

TALKING GOD. HE STILL SPEAKS. AND THE LORD TOLD ME TO TELL YOU

THAT. HE'S STILL SPEAKING TODAY. SO WHEN YOU TALK, THEN AFTER A

WHILE, STOP AND LISTEN. HE'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. HE SPEAKS

THROUGH HIS PROPHETIC VOICE. HE SPEAKS THROUGH HIS STILL, SMALL

VOICE. HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE BIBLE, THROUGH HIS WORD. HE

SPEAKS THROUGH DREAMS AND VISIONS. AND HE SPEAKS WHEN WE

PRAY IN TONGUES, AND WE STOP, AND WE PRAY IN ENGLISH. AND I

CAME THIS MORNING TO DEPOSIT THAT IN YOUR LIFE. AND I PRAY

THAT IT'S A BLESSING. I'LL BE BACK ON TELEVISION THIS WEEK.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) AND IT'S A JOY AND AN HONOR. YOU CAN SEE ME

ON THE FACEBOOK OR ON OUR ROKU CHANNEL OR OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL,

OR YOU CAN SEE US ON THE VICTORY CHANNEL. IT'S ALL LIVE. OR THE

WORD NETWORK OUT OF DETROIT, IT'S ALL LIVE. AND AT NOON,

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. AND IT'S NOT A PREACHING PROGRAM. I DON'T

PREACH ON IT. ALL I DO IS PRAY FOR PEOPLE. AND I GOT LIVE

TELEPHONE PRAYER PARTNERS. THEY TAKE LIVE CALLS, BRING 'EM TO

ME. I PRAY FOR PEOPLE LIVE ON THE AIR. AND OPERATE IN THE

GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT. THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE BEGINS TO FLOW. PEOPLE

CALL IN HEALED. I READ THE TESTIMONY, WHICH PRODUCES MORE.

THE MORE TESTIMONIES YOU READ, THE MORE YOU GET. KIND OF LIKE

READING THE BIBLE. THE MORE YOU READ THE BIBLE, THE MORE YOU GET

OUT OF IT. AND IT'S A JOY AND IT'S AN HONOR. AND IT'S A

PARTICULAR HONOR TO BE HERE IN THIS NEW TABERNACLE. THANK GOD

FOR IT. IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL. AND I THANK YOU FOR RECEIVING ME

TODAY. AND WHERE'S PASTOR ANDREW? THAT WAS ONE OF THE

WORST JOKES I EVER HEARD. FANS. OH, THERE HE IS. THAT WAS REALLY

BAD. THAT WAS REALLY BAD. THAT'S A BAD, THAT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS

HANK'S. I BROUGHT TWO BOOKS. BOTH OF THEM ARE PRETTY

POWERFUL. THE FIRST BOOK IS A BOOK THAT MY WIFE, LINDSAY,

WROTE CALLED "DISCOVER YOUR TRUE STRENGTH." IT'S THE SECOND IN A

SERIES. THE FIRST ONE WAS "DISCOVER YOUR TRUE WORTH." THIS

IS THE SECOND ONE, "DISCOVER YOUR TRUE STRENGTH." SHE'S IN

THE PROCESS OF WRITING NOW, "DISCOVER YOUR TRUE PEACE,"

WHICH SHE'LL HAVE OUT, I THINK IN THE SPRING, SHE'S WRITING IT

NOW. IT'S AVAILABLE IN THE LOBBY. I'M SURE SOMEWHERE

THERE'S A LOBBY. HAVEN'T BEEN OUT IN THE LOBBY, SO I DON'T

KNOW WHERE IT IS. THIS OTHER BOOK I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.

IT'S NEW SINCE I WAS HERE LAST. WE TOOK SOME OF MY FATHER'S

WRITINGS, MUCH OF WHICH HAD NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY. AND

WE PUT IT IN A BOOK CALLED "ORAL ROBERTS ON HEALING." IF ANYBODY

KNEW ABOUT HEALING, IT WAS ORAL ROBERTS. AND IT'S VERY, VERY

POWERFUL. IT'S FORWARDED BY KENNETH COPELAND AND A LOT OF

OTHER PEOPLE, AND I THINK IT'LL BE A BLESSING IN YOUR LIFE.

THEY'RE AVAILABLE OUT OF THE LOBBY. AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO AVOID THE CAMPING TRIP AND

INSTEAD DRIVE MY CAR UP HERE, AND I'M GONNA DRIVE MY LITTLE

CAR HOME, AND I'LL BE ON TELEVISION TOMORROW. GOD

BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU. (AUDIENCE CLAPPING)

- AMEN, LET'S STAND AND GIVE DR. ROBERTS A HAND. WHAT A BLESSING.

- ANDREW. ANTHONY, DID I CALL YOU ANDREW? THAT WAS A MISTAKE.

COME HERE, ANTHONY. THAT'S MY FIRST

MISTAKE SINCE THE LAST MISTAKE I MADE. BECAUSE OF THAT JOKE,

THE FIRST TWO BOOKS ARE YOURS. - ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

- AMEN. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) LOVE YOU, BROTHER ROBERTS. BLESS

YOU. MAN, POWERFUL SERVICE TODAY. I'M GONNA ASK, I KNOW OUR

VOLUNTEERS THAT WORK IN CERTAIN AREAS HAVE TO EXIT OUT NOW, BUT

I'M GONNA ASK, AND GIVE THEM A HAND, BY THE WAY. THEY ARE OUT

WORKING EVERY WEEK. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) I'M GONNA ASK THE

REST OF YOU JUST TO TAKE A SEAT FOR A MOMENT HERE AS WE

CONCLUDE. WE'RE ACTUALLY EARLY TODAY. SO LET'S SEE, PASTOR

ANTHONY, COULD I HAVE ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR TO AN HOUR, DO YOU

THINK? NO, I'M JUST JOKING, BUT I WON'T KEEP YOU LONG, BUT WE DO

WANT TO RECEIVE AN OFFERING FOR BROTHER ROBERTS. BUT BEFORE I DO

THAT, I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

HAVE YOU MADE A DECISION FOR JESUS CHRIST? I KNOW THIS IS A

MIRACLE MEETING TODAY, WE'VE SEEN SIGNS, WONDERS, AND

MIRACLES. HI, GERALD, BY THE WAY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU OUT THERE.

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE TODAY. BACK FROM ARIZONA, PRAISE GOD.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION THAT YOU CAN

EVER MAKE IS TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE.

AND THE GREATEST MIRACLE, WE SAW SIGNS AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES

TODAY, RIGHT HERE. BUT THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN ANY LIFE IS

WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS THE NEW BIRTH. AND THAT'S WHEN YOU

RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. HE'S THE

MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. MAN GOT INTO SIN. GOD NEEDED

SOMEONE TO BE A MEDIATOR SO THAT THE SIN NATURE COULD BE REMOVED

AND THERE COULD BE THE BLOOD OF JESUS TO RECONCILE US TO GOD. SO

JESUS CHRIST WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY AND WHEN HE STRETCHED

OUT HIS ARMS ON THAT CROSS, ONE HAND WAS REACHING TO YOU, THE

OTHER HAND WAS REACHING UP TO GOD, AND HE'S OUR CONNECTION.

AND THERE MIGHT JUST BE SOMEONE HERE TODAY, OR MAYBE YOU'RE

WATCHING ONLINE. EVERY WEEK WE HAVE PEOPLE ONLINE THAT RECEIVE

JESUS AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR. SOME WRITE US AND LET US KNOW,

AND SOME DO NOT. BUT THE POINT IS, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU

DON'T LEAVE THIS PLACE TODAY OR TUNE OFF THIS BROADCAST UNLESS

YOU'VE MADE A DECISION TO SERVE HIM AS LORD. BECAUSE THE BIBLE

SAYS THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GET TO HEAVEN, AND THAT'S THROUGH

JESUS CHRIST. HE'S THE ONLY WAY. IT'S NOT THROUGH BUDDHA, IT'S

NOT THROUGH ALLAH, IT'S NOT THROUGH JOSEPH SMITH OR ANY

OTHER MAN-MADE RELIGION. IT'S ONLY

THROUGH JESUS. THE BIBLE SAYS, "EVERY

KNEE AND EVERY TONGUE, "EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY

TONGUE WILL CONFESS "THAT JESUS IS LORD." HE'S OUR ONLY WAY. SO

IF YOU DON'T DO IT WHILE YOU'RE ON THIS EARTH, SOMEDAY YOU'LL BE

FORCED TO, AND THEN IT'S TOO LATE. BECAUSE WE HAVE A CHOICE

TO MAKE WHILE WE'RE ON EARTH. WE'RE FREE WILL AGENTS. WE HAVE

THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE CHOICE. AND YOU CAN EITHER CHOOSE HEAVEN

AS YOUR HOME OR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO GO TO HELL, WHICH IS A PLACE

OF ETERNAL DESTRUCTION THAT MOST CHURCHES DON'T EVEN LIKE TO

MENTION, BUT IT'S IN THE WORD. AND I WANT YOU TO BE ETERNALLY

SAFE AND KNOW WHAT YOUR PURPOSE IS, WHAT YOUR PLAN IS. GOD HAS A

WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOU TODAY. HE HAS A WONDERFUL PURPOSE FOR YOU.

AND HE HAS ETERNAL PURPOSE FOR YOU IN HEAVEN. SO BOW YOUR HEADS

WITH ME IF YOU WOULD THIS MORNING. I WANT TO ASK YOU A

QUESTION. IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, IF YOU WERE TO MOVE OFF

INTO ETERNITY TODAY, ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT HEAVEN WOULD BE

YOUR HOME? IF YOU ARRIVED AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT AND JESUS SAID,

"WHY SHOULD I LET YOU INTO MY HEAVEN?" WHAT WOULD YOUR ANSWER

BE? WOULD IT BE THAT "I WENT TO CHURCH OR I

MY MAMA WAS A CHRISTIAN, MY MAMA WENT TO CHURCH, OR I WAS

RAISED A CATHOLIC," OR WOULD IT BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS? "I TRIED

TO SHAKE THE PREACHER'S HAND WHENEVER I COULD." I DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOUR ANSWER WOULD BE, BUT NONE OF THOSE WOULD BE

SUFFICIENT UNLESS YOU'VE MADE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR

LIFE AND YOU CAN BE ASSURED YOU ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD. THAT'S

THE ANSWER. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE THAT DECISION TODAY, I WANT

TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY. NO ONE LOOKING AROUND, EVERYONE

WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED. IS THERE SOMEONE HERE TODAY AND YOU WOULD

SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, I NEED YOU TO PRAY WITH ME AND FOR ME. I HAVE

NOT EVER MADE THAT DECISION AND I NEED TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST THE

LORD OF MY LIFE. IF THAT'S YOU, I'M GONNA COUNT TO THREE AND I

WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY. ONE, TWO, THREE. ANYONE

HERE? YOU SAY, "I NEED JESUS AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. I WANT TO

MAKE HEAVEN MY HOME. I NEED TO MAKE A DECISION FOR JESUS." I

SEE ONE HAND THERE. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE, SOMEONE BOLD HERE?

I THINK THERE'S A YOUNG PERSON HERE. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE HERE AND YOU'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM GOD.

YOU'VE BECOME COLD. YOU'VE KIND OF RIDDEN THE FENCE BETWEEN ONE

FOOT IN THE WORLD AND ONE IN CHURCH OR ONE WITH GOD AND YOU

NEED TO COME BACK. YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE OUT OF LINE. YOU'RE NOT

IN GOD'S PERFECT PLAN. YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING HIS PLAN. YOU'VE

GOTTEN INVOLVED IN SOME RELATIONSHIPS YOU SHOULDN'T

HAVE. YOU'RE HANGING AROUND OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE PULLING

YOU THE OTHER WAY. YOU NEED TO GO 100% FOR GOD. WHO IS THAT?

WHO IS THAT? HERE'S SOMEONE HERE. RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY.

ANOTHER HAND OVER THERE. OKAY, ANOTHER HAND HERE. THAT'S, YOU

KNOW WHAT? THE GOOD NEWS IS GOD HAS GRACE FOR THAT, BUT YOU HAVE

TO DO IT WHILE WE'RE ON EARTH AND ALIVE. WE HAVE TO GET RIGHT

WITH HIM. AND I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO BE VERY BOLD NOW AND STAND

RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT. THOSE OF YOU THAT RAISED YOUR HAND FOR

EITHER REASON, STAND RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT. AND THEN I'M GONNA

ASK YOU TO STEP OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND COME RIGHT DOWN HERE QUICKLY

IN FRONT OF ME. AND YOU SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, WHY DO YOU DO

THAT? "WHY DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE COME FORWARD?" BECAUSE EVERY

TIME JESUS MINISTERED TO SOMEONE, HE CALLED THEM

PUBLICLY. AND I BELIEVE IT WILL CONFIRM WITH YOU. AND YOU'LL

REMEMBER THAT ON JULY 13TH, SUNDAY AT 1108 AM, I CAME BACK

TO GOD OR I MADE A DECISION FOR JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU, SIR,

FOR DOING THAT. SIR, HAVE TO COME UP HERE AND LOOK AT ME.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SIR? MARTIN, GOD BLESS YOU, MARTIN. THANK YOU

FOR COMING IN. SATAY, THANK YOU FOR COMING. GOD BLESS YOU TOO.

SIR, YOUR NAME? HEY. THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH, JACK. GOOD TO SEE

YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. AND YOU TOO. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. YEAH,

THANK YOU, SIR. SIR, GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING. GIVE

THEM A HAND AGAIN BECAUSE, AND I WANT YOU GUYS TO JUST LOOK AT,

TURN AROUND, LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT ME. JACK, TURN AROUND, JUST LOOK

AT ME UP HERE. I'M GONNA TALK TO YOU FOR JUST A MOMENT. AND THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE ONLINE THAT ARE MAKING A DECISION FOR CHRIST OR

COMING BACK TO HIM, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU FOR JUST A MOMENT.

HERE'S THE DEAL ON THAT. YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION THAT'S GOING

TO MOVE YOU FORWARD FROM YOUR PAST. IF YOU'VE GOTTEN OFF TRACK

AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWING HIM, BUT YET YOU MADE JESUS THE

LORD OF YOUR LIFE, THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN A SINNER COMES BACK TO

GOD, HEAVEN REJOICES. SO WE'RE REJOICING WITH YOU TODAY. IT'S

NOTHING UNUSUAL. I WOULD SAY PROBABLY EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM

HAS HAD A TIME IN THEIR LIFE WHEN THEY GOT OFF TRACK IN SOME

AREA AND THEY HAD TO TURN BACK TO GOD. SO YOU'RE IN GOOD

COMPANY. WE'VE ALL DONE IT. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU, IF YOU'VE

NEVER MADE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU'RE COMING

TO HIM TODAY, THIS IS A DAY OF CELEBRATION FOR YOU. IT'S GONNA

CHANGE YOUR LIFE. NOW YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT GOD HAS FOR

YOU. HE HAS A GREAT PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. AND YOU GET INTO

PRAYER. WE'LL GIVE YOU A BIBLE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE. YOU CAN

READ YOUR BIBLE EVERY DAY. YOU CAN PRAY TO HIM AND TALK TO HIM

JUST LIKE I'M TALKING TO YOU, AND THEN YOU CAN GET INTO

FELLOWSHIP. DO YOU TWO LIVE IN THIS AREA? JUST UP THE STREET.

THIS IS YOUR CHURCH THEN. YOU FOUND A PLACE TO COME. AND WE'LL

LOVE YOU, WE'LL HELP YOU, WE'LL GIVE YOU GUIDANCE. AND YOU'LL

HAVE A PASTOR HERE. YOU'LL GET TO MEET PASTOR SANK AND BRENDA

AND YOU'LL SEE THEM AND THEY LOVE PEOPLE. AND WE'RE HERE FOR

YOU. THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT FOR PEOPLE. IT ISN'T JUST BUILT FOR

LOOKS. IT'S BUILT FOR MINISTRY AND FOR PEOPLE. SO WE'RE GONNA

PRAY TODAY, AND WHETHER YOU'RE COMING BACK TO GOD OR YOU'RE

MAKING HIM THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE THE FIRST TIME, THIS PRAYER WILL

CHANGE YOUR LIFE, IT'LL SET YOU ON TRACK, AND YOU CAN MOVE

FORWARD IN EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. SO LET'S JUST PRAY

THIS, AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, YOU CAN PRAY WITH ME.

REPEAT AFTER ME AS I PRAY. FATHER IN HEAVEN.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS. I BELIEVE HE

WENT TO THE CROSS, HE DIED FOR ME, HE

WAS BURIED, AND ON THE THIRD DAY, HE ROSE FROM

THE DEAD. I RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. FORGIVE

ME FOR SIN, FOR GETTING OFF TRACK. I'M BACK ON TRACK NOW,

LORD, AND I WILL SERVE YOU THE REST OF MY DAYS ON THIS EARTH,

AND I THANK YOU FOR IT. IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME. NOW, ALTAR

TEAM, I'M GONNA HAVE YOU RUSH UP HERE, GET BEHIND THESE PEOPLE.

WE KIND OF DID IT IN A DIFFERENT ORDER, AND I WANT YOU TO PRAY

WITH THEM, GIVE THEM INFORMATION OR LITERATURE IF THEY NEED IT,

HELP THEM IN ANY WAY THAT THEY CAN. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE,

YOU CAN CALL OUR PRAYER LINE, 855-777-7907. 24 HOURS A

DAY, EVEN IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS ON AN

ARCHIVE, OUR PRAYER COUNSELORS ARE THERE AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU

TO HELP YOU, GUIDE YOU, AND COUNSEL YOU, AND WE'LL SEND YOU

THE SAME LITERATURE THAT WE'RE GIVING TO THESE PEOPLE TODAY.

AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND YOU GUYS CAN TURN AROUND, AND THESE

GUYS WILL BE HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED THEM. GIVE THEM A HAND

AGAIN. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) PRAISE GOD. THANK YOU, JESUS.

WELL, BEFORE WE RECEIVE THE OFFERING, THE GUEST OFFERING FOR

DR. RICHARD ROBERTS, I JUST WANTED TO SAY TWO THINGS AND

THEN I CAN DISMISS YOU AS WE RECEIVE TODAY. DON'T FORGET,

FLASHPOINT WILL BE ON THERE, BUT PASTOR HANK WILL NOT BE ON

MONDAY AND TUESDAY LIKE HE NORMALLY IS THIS WEEK BECAUSE HE

IS VACATING. SO WE'RE GIVING HIM A BREAK FROM FLASHPOINT TOO AND

HE DESERVES THAT. AND THEN DON'T FORGET, MIDWEEK RECHARGE RIGHT

BACK HERE IN THE HOUSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK I'LL BE

CONTINUING MY TEACHING ON THE POWER OF THE DEPENDENCY ON THE

HOLY SPIRIT, AND WE'RE GETTING DEEPER INTO WALKING IN THE

SPIRIT AND WHY WE DO IT AND HOW WE DO IT. AND SO THAT WILL BE

GOOD. I WANT YOU TO BE HERE FOR THAT. AND THEN DON'T FORGET

AGAIN, DR. GENE BAILEY NEXT SUNDAY. AND I THINK THAT'S ALL

MY ANNOUNCEMENTS. SO USHERS ARE IN THE AISLE RIGHT NOW, AND WE

WANT TO BLESS DR. RICHARD ROBERTS. YOU KNOW, GOD SENDS US

HIS CHOICE SERVANTS, AND THANK HOW HE IMPACTED YOU TODAY. YOU

CAN GIVE BACK TO GOD BY GIVING TO HIS MINISTRY AND HELPING

SUPPORT ALL HE'S DOING. HE'S TOUCHING LIVES. IF YOU NEED AN

ENVELOPE, RAISE YOUR HAND. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THROUGH THE

WEBSITE AGAIN, THERE'S A PLACE FOR GUEST MINISTRIES. YOU CAN

GIVE TEXT OR MOBILE APP ON THAT ALSO, AND JUST SCROLL DOWN TO

THE GUEST MINISTRY SECTION, DESIGNATE IT FOR THAT GUEST

SPEAKER, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT HE IS BLESSED TODAY ON HIS

WAY HOME. SO AS SOON AS THE USHERS HAVE RECEIVED, I'M GOING

TO DISMISS YOU TODAY. THANK YOU, ONLINE AUDIENCE, FOR JOINING US.

GOD BLESS YOU. DON'T FORGET, AGAIN, TO JOIN US WEDNESDAY

NIGHT AND THEN NEXT SUNDAY. AND WE'LL SAY GOODBYE TO YOU TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN JESUS' NAME. WELL, LET'S STAND.

FATHER, I BLESS THIS CONGREGATION TODAY AND I THANK

YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE RECEIVED. THANK YOU FOR SENDING

YOUR SERVANT. THANK YOU FOR THE MOVE OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT. MAY

EVERYONE GO BLESSED AND SAFE TO THEIR PLACE THAT THEY'RE HEADING

TO. WE THANK YOU THAT THEY'RE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.

THE ANGELS WATCH AROUND THEM AND PROTECT THEM. AND WE THANK YOU,

LORD, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD TODAY

IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN. HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK. GOD BLESS YOU.
