-
Thank you, Sir. Clap your hands, all ye people,
-
and shout with the voice of triumph.
-
The beautiful thing about that is whenever you shout with the
-
voice of triumph, you have already won whatever you're
-
going through, you don't have to question.
-
You don't have to ask because God is still on the throne back
-
home in. Bloomington, We had two words
-
that we say very often. Those two words are.
-
Simple but I. Want you all to hear me tonight.
-
God can. Come on, somebody.
-
I don't care what you're up against today.
-
I don't care how dark tomorrow may look for you.
-
My God can whatever it is that you need from Jesus, whether we
-
get into the word of God tonight or not, I want to see the Holy
-
Ghost move in the house. I want to see God come down and
-
touch somebody. So at any point.
-
In this service, I've been here before, you all already know.
-
I am the most. Unorthodox person and this altar
-
is open right now. We don't have to wait on some
-
fancy song. Y'all got it going.
-
On Brother Mason's up here tearing it up.
-
But if you feel at any point whether the piano's playing
-
softly in the background, whether we get somebody on the
-
organ where I can get a little bit of soul coming out that I
-
don't have, but I've always wanted it.
-
But if God moves up on you this evening, I'm asking you right
-
now that you would come. You need a healing in your body,
-
Come on. You need a healing in your
-
finances come on. You need a touch in your mind
-
come and get it. God is in the house.
-
Before the doors ever opened up, God showed up and God was here.
-
So anything you want from. Him just ask it in his name.
-
I want to give honor. To the McGee family, Bishop
-
McGee, brother McGee, sister McGee to to the Masons man y'all
-
are awesome. Thank you so much for allowing
-
us to be here this evening. Please excuse my wife's absence.
-
She's a lot nicer and a whole lot better looking than I am,
-
but she stayed back in Bloomington so that she could be
-
be there for the one year anniversary.
-
Mr. Cameraman, I apologize in advance.
-
You're going to feel like you're playing Pac-Man tonight with
-
that joystick. Good deal, good deal.
-
Pastor Corey's our cameraman back home and he's just like, I
-
mean, you, you never know, just throw the thing it down and
-
you'll catch me somewhere. But thank you all for coming
-
here tonight. We're we're going to pray and
-
we're going to dive in because I feel like God's going to do
-
something tonight. Are you ready?
-
Are you ready to see what God has in store tonight?
-
I am Jesus, we. Thank you, Lord.
-
For this opportunity. God, I lose direction right now
-
in every mind. In this House.
-
Lord, that you would. Lead and.
-
Guide our thoughts, Lord, to a missionary in need today.
-
God that you would give us a number.
-
God that you would want us to give this year, God that you let
-
us God give exceeding and abundant, Lord, and those that
-
have to give, Lord, I pray Lord, that you would open up the
-
windows of heaven, O Lord, and and just pour out a blessing
-
upon them, Lord. That they can't sustain.
-
God, I lose revelation, I lose knowledge, I lose conviction in
-
this service right now, I take authority over every doubt and
-
every fear in this place and I bind them and I rebuke them in
-
Jesus name. God we want.
-
To hear from you, we pray, we bless you, and we honor you in
-
the mighty name of Jesus, Amen. As we go to.
-
Jude chapter 4. As we go to Jude verse #3.
-
The word of God says beloved. When I gave all diligence to
-
write unto you of the common salvation.
-
It was needful. For me to write unto you and
-
exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith
-
which was once delivered unto the Saints.
-
Y'all probably want to sit down now, don't you?
-
Have at it. Have a seat.
-
Thank you for this opportunity, brother and Sister McGee, for
-
allowing me to be here with you tonight.
-
It's an honor and a blessing to to come in here, man.
-
Y'all have done some work in here since last time I was here.
-
It's looking nice. Looking very nice.
-
Last time I was here I was a missionary to Papua New Guinea.
-
And I tell you what that people's like.
-
Well, or what did? What was it that brought you
-
back? It's classified, but God still
-
has a plan. And people think that to be a
-
missionary, you got to go 8500 miles away from home.
-
You got to talk to people that don't speak your language, and
-
you got to share the word way over there.
-
But I'm here to tell somebody today, your mission feels right
-
here. You can go outside these doors
-
right now and talk to somebody about Jesus, because souls is
-
where it's at that we're. We're not worried about where we
-
are. We're worried about spreading
-
the gospel of who we serve. And we live in a time where the
-
foundations of the faith are under attack.
-
We live in a time when the walls of spiritual fortitude, they
-
seem to be crumbling down all around us.
-
So when when we look. Around we may be growing weary,
-
just like back in the days of Nehemiah.
-
Tonight, he. God is calling this church to
-
rise up tonight, to stand firm on the faith and to contend.
-
For the faith. To contend means to to fight to
-
go out with. Everything you have you.
-
Contend for a title. You go out and you don't drag
-
your feet. You don't wonder what's going to
-
happen. You come out of the.
-
Gate swinging. You come out ready, Jude writes
-
to the believers in urgency tonight, encouraging them to
-
fight for the faith. And the enemy has always tried,
-
and he will continue to try to break down what God has
-
established, whether it's in the physical city or in the
-
spiritual realm of His people. I'm here to tell somebody I'm
-
ready to fight. Whether it be in Illinois,
-
Indiana, or Papua New Guinea, I'm ready to come out of the
-
gate swinging. I'm ready to take this out to
-
wherever it needs to go. I'm ready to fight for another
-
soul. I'm ready to see somebody
-
tonight come and repent, be baptized in Jesus name, pray
-
through to the Holy Ghost. I'm ready to see God move.
-
I'm ready to get back to that old Pentecostal feeling, that
-
feeling that we had just a few minutes ago, where the Holy
-
Ghost comes in. We don't need a song.
-
We don't need a rhythm, we don't need a beat.
-
We need the Holy Ghost back in the church.
-
Come on, somebody, it's all right.
-
I long for the day. God is the same yesterday, today
-
and forever 20 years. Ago you could walk.
-
Up to somebody, say praise the Lord.
-
Hiko Robosata and the Holy Ghost would start to fall.
-
Now you go up and you say praise the Lord and they fold their
-
arms and don't know what to do. I'm ready to see Jesus in 2026.
-
I'm ready to see the Holy Ghost poured out right here, right
-
here on the Indiana line, right here where God is still moving.
-
God is still changing some lives.
-
Just like in the. Amiah verse chapter 4 verses 12
-
through. 20 It says, And it came to pass, that when the Jews
-
which dwelt by them came and said unto us 10 times from all
-
places. When she shall return?
-
Unto us they will be upon you therefore.
-
I said in the lower places, behind the wall and on the
-
higher places, I even said the people after their families,
-
with their swords, with their Spears, with their bows, and I
-
looked and I rose up. And I said.
-
Unto the nobles, and unto the rulers, and other the rest of
-
the. People, don't you be afraid, be
-
not afraid of them. Remember the Lord, which is
-
great and terrible in the fight of your brethren, your sons, and
-
your daughters, and your wives, and your houses.
-
And it came to pass when our enemies heard when your enemies
-
here. The goodness of God, when your
-
enemies here that you have prayed through, when your
-
enemies here, what's going on in your life?
-
All of hell trembles. And when our enemies heard it,
-
they was known unto us, and. God had brought.
-
Counsel to naughty. That return we returned, all of
-
us to the wall. And everyone to his work and it
-
came to pass that. From that time forth that half
-
of my servants brought the work and the other half of them held
-
both the Spears. Come on, somebody want to grab a
-
spear tonight? And the Bows and the Haberons
-
and the rulers were behind all of the House of Judah.
-
They which? Binded the wall and.
-
They that bear. Burdens with those that laid in
-
everyone with his. One of his hands wrought to the
-
work, and the other held the weapon for the builders.
-
Everyone had his sword girded by his side, and he builded, and he
-
that sounded the trumpet was by me.
-
And I said. Under the nobles and under the
-
rulers, and to the rest of the people, the the work is great
-
and the work is large. Ain't nothing too big for my
-
God. And we are separated upon the
-
wall, one far from another. And in what place therefore hear
-
the sound of the trumpet. Resort ye tether to us.
-
What's that last? Sign say line say.
-
Somebody or God shall fight for us.
-
It shows us that the battle of rebuilding, no matter whether it
-
be here or overseas, no matter whether it be your next door
-
neighbor or whether it be Brother Edmunds that we prayed
-
for just a couple of minutes ago.
-
Whether it be Ryan Marshall in Bloomington, IN, or whether it
-
be Israel Garza down in Florida. It doesn't matter where it is.
-
God is fighting for us. God has got us and God shows us
-
that the true battle of rebuilding is where one handheld
-
a tool and the other held a weapon.
-
And as they built, they were ready to fight.
-
As the church grew, Pastor McGee, as the souls began to
-
flood in out of the years that we had poured into this city, I
-
feel a little something I don't know about you.
-
But as we go out in the van one more time, as we pass out
-
another track, as we witness to one more soul, we get tired, we
-
get weary. We look at the the church bank
-
account. We say, Oh my goodness.
-
Put that last line. God.
-
Shall fight for us. We don't have to worry, we don't
-
have to fret. All we have to do is know that
-
God has called us, God has placed us.
-
And when the enemy tries to bring fear, pick up the weapon,
-
be ready to fight. It doesn't matter what he may
-
throw at you. My God is greater.
-
The enemy tries to lock us up and he tries to stop us.
-
But if God calls you. To it.
-
Come on, somebody, if God tells you to start building, you don't
-
have to ask where the money's coming from.
-
You don't have to ask where the stuff's coming from.
-
You don't have to say we've only got 20 or 30.
-
You just have to say give me the trow and give me the sword and
-
send me out because I'm ready to build and I'm ready to fight.
-
The enemy's going to. Try to stop you from what God
-
has called you to do. He's going to try to discourage
-
you from what God has called you to do.
-
But you need to hear the voice of the Lord through Nehemiah
-
tonight. Be not afraid of them.
-
Remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, He's going
-
to fight your brethren. He's going to fight for your
-
sons, for your daughters. I'm not an Alex Mason.
-
If I. Was I'll be singing this sermon.
-
I'll tell you what may his favor.
-
Be upon you in 1000 generations in their families and their
-
children and your children and their children going to fight
-
for you. He's fighting for your sons.
-
We all know a backslider. He's fighting for them.
-
We all know a prodigal. He's fighting for them.
-
We got to consent for this faith.
-
What faith? Shema Israel, Adonai Elohimu
-
Adonai, he God hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is 1 Lord.
-
There's one Lord, 1 faith, one baptism, one God and Father of
-
all, who is above all, through all, and in you all.
-
And behold, I was in this, and there was a throne setting in
-
heaven, and one sat on the throne.
-
We got to earnestly contend. We live in a world where
-
anything goes. We live in a world where you can
-
live however you want and still. Be saved.
-
Except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he
-
cannot somebody say, cannot, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
-
God is 1. And we church, come on, it
-
doesn't matter if your banner is FAC Shiloh, Blackwell, FAC
-
Maryville. I don't care what banner you
-
fly. We got to stand as one today.
-
I don't care if you're holding an ALJC card in your pocket.
-
I don't care if it's WPFPAWUPCI could care less.
-
We got to stand as one. We got to share the gospel of
-
the one. We got to make sure the whole
-
world knows. We got to build it, we got to
-
fight for it because in order for us to rebuild the wall.
-
In 2026. Pastor McGee can't do it by
-
himself. He's an awesome.
-
Man. Sister McGee can't carry the
-
weight on her own. The assistant pastor can't get
-
behind him, and he can't just be them.
-
Come on, somebody. I'm getting in close.
-
I hope that's OK. I hope it's all right.
-
I'm coming in a little where you're at right now.
-
But it's not one man. It's not one family.
-
It's a congregation of people united under the command of God.
-
And today, as we rebuild the spiritual walls in this place,
-
we got to stand united, lifting up one another and pressing
-
forward together in faith. Pikorobosiahara Shatai X,
-
chapter 2, verses 37 through. 39 We could quote it now when they
-
heard this. They were.
-
Pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the
-
apostles, men and brethren. What shall we do?
-
Then Peter. God love Peter, poor guy.
-
He gets a bad rap. He was bold.
-
They asked me to be in a play one time.
-
Guess who I got? Brother Marshall.
-
You be a good Peter. Thanks, I think.
-
But I like to think on that day when that boldness rests upon
-
me. Then Peter said unto them.
-
Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus
-
Christ. For the remission or the washing
-
away of your sins. And then maybe if I feel like
-
it. You'll get the Holy Ghost.
-
Ye shall receive the gift. It's a gift.
-
Come on, somebody. You don't have to beg.
-
You don't have to bargain. You just got to say God give.
-
Come on, come on, come on, give it to me.
-
I'm ready. Give it to me.
-
And the beautiful thing is, it's a promise unto you, unto your
-
children. All that are far off, even as
-
many as. The Lord our God shall call.
-
Here's where we see Peter laying out the.
-
Spiritual Foundation of restoration.
-
Repentance in the only name, the only name under heaven.
-
Come on, whereby we must be saved, where we're filled with
-
the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues.
-
We don't teach you how to do it. God just pours it out.
-
You ever been in that place where you feel like you got to
-
beg God for stuff? God, if you if you do this, I
-
won't eat another cheeseburger. Oh God, if you do this man.
-
I will. I'll fast.
-
For the next 8 days. And then you leave the.
-
Church and you go eat a cheeseburger on fast day.
-
But but we come to the altar and we've got to this place.
-
I'm not saying don't get down on your knees and pray so we get in
-
this place where we like, bury our face in the altar.
-
I'm trying to give you a gift. You start acting that way.
-
I'm going to somebody else. I'll give them the gift.
-
I don't know who needs to hear this, but when you come for
-
something from Jesus, don't beg him.
-
Don't bargain with him. Be like the Prophet.
-
Isaiah, here am I. Here am I.
-
That's the key to revival. Here am I.
-
Which will spark a fresh revival in this church.
-
We can't. Rebuild on a broken foundation.
-
We can't build on strife. And division we.
-
Have to return to that Apostolic doctrine, to that power of
-
Pentecost. Come on, somebody.
-
If we go to Mark chapter 16 verses 17 and 18, it says and
-
these signs people ask me, they're like man.
-
If they. They've not been baptized,
-
right? How?
-
Can they do these things well? They that believe in not their
-
own power, but in my name, they're going to.
-
Cast out devils. They're going to speak with new
-
tongues. They're going to take up
-
serpents. Don't you be.
-
Bringing out no box. Spiritual serpents, we ain't
-
that far South y'all. Sorry, Lord.
-
I told you, Brother Mason, I won't stay in my notes.
-
And they'll drink any deadly thing and it shall not hurt
-
them. They'll lay hands on the sick.
-
Is anybody here sick? Today?
-
I got some crazy faith. I'm going to share a story with
-
you all. We was in Papua New Guinea, a
-
little place in the South Pacific.
-
We lived there for five years. Man, I seen God do some stuff.
-
I'll tell you what. I've seen him do stuff that that
-
you talk about. And he was like, yeah, right.
-
So here's a yeah right story. We're laying in bed one night.
-
You hear gunshots going off. It's such a peaceful place.
-
But you hear these gunshots going off on the distance and
-
you hear them tearing the the metal off of a building.
-
You hear stones being thrown. You hear all of these people
-
screaming and crying out. You see these flames in the
-
distance painting a very beautiful picture of Papua New
-
Guinea. It's not that bad maybe today.
-
But whenever we heard that, I went outside and I was that guy
-
when I was in the mission field, I wanted y'all to know what was
-
going on. So it's like 1 in the morning
-
over there. I'm going live on Facebook.
-
I'm that guy. I, I guess I'm the, I'm the 2022
-
Karen. You know, I got my phone out and
-
I'm like. Hey guys, here I.
-
Am in the middle of this fight, hopefully I don't get shot but I
-
want you to see. What's going on?
-
So. So here I am.
-
Letting everybody know what's going on.
-
And we're standing out there for like an hour and a half and two
-
men come to the gate and they said, missionary, we need you.
-
So I ended the live feed not thinking, you know, that
-
everybody back in America is watching this live feed.
-
I'm telling them I may die. And then I was like.
-
So now my mom's calling, I've got people calling.
-
Texting are you OK? Are you alive?
-
It's like, I don't know, just give me.
-
No so so. Here I am and these two men,
-
they come up and they said, missionary, we need you.
-
Our friend is hurt. I'm like, do you go out in the
-
middle of a tribal fight? Because God gives us wisdom, But
-
God gave this dude up here with a microphone right now some
-
crazy faith. So I stood there and we had our,
-
our assistant with us and, and he said, missionary, you don't
-
need to go. And I was like, that's not
-
really what the Holy Ghost is telling me right now.
-
So let's unlock the gate. We're going to go for a little
-
ride and we get down to this hurt guy.
-
Dude's dead. Pretty big faith killer.
-
Wow, well, you're injured friend is he's not hurting anymore.
-
I mean, he's you know, he's so we're laying there and someone
-
had almost they they had cut his artery with a with a Bush knife,
-
which is it's a machete. Guys laid there.
-
He's he's bled out. He's laying in the side of the
-
road. And it's like, well, they told
-
me and they're expecting God to do something and they're a bunch
-
of mad people with guns and knives.
-
So I better do something while I'm over here.
-
So I was like, Lord, these people came to us expecting you
-
to perform a miracle. I said, I need you to do
-
something here. And it was a pretty half hearted
-
prayer. I mean, if you've ever laid
-
hands on a dead person, it's like, what do you where do you
-
go from here? Well, we put him in the truck.
-
We take him to the hospital. The nurse comes out, checks his
-
pulse. He he's dead.
-
She gets mad at us for bringing him to the hospital.
-
I'm like, look, it's like my life.
-
Or we bring him to the hospital. So we get him there and she
-
comes out, checks his pulse, gets mad at me.
-
She yells at me, why would you bring a dead man?
-
We've got hundreds of people from this fight here, and you're
-
bringing us somebody that's dead.
-
I was like, well, Lord, thanks for the faith elevation there.
-
I appreciate that. You know, you really, really
-
done something for me. And as I was having this
-
conversation with God, have you ever had that conversation with
-
God where it's like, Lord, why in the world would you do this
-
to me? Why did you let this happen to
-
me? I feel pretty stupid right now
-
and these people are and as I was, you know, having my little
-
bickering with God. We already know that I'm going
-
to lose Something rose up inside of this guy right here and I
-
said, Lord, this diagnosis is no good for me.
-
I rebuke it in Jesus name. I said.
-
These people came knowing that you are the God of the universe.
-
Knowing that they could come to me and I could reach you to
-
touch. This man right here whether?
-
He's dead right now. Or.
-
Not and I. Prayed a pretty crazy prayer.
-
I laid hands on that old boy and I said, I rebuke death in the
-
name of Jesus right now. And I said, oh, breath of life,
-
that you would breathe down on these dry bones, that you would
-
make this heartbeat one more time, that you would touch this
-
man. We stood there for 45 minutes
-
praying, seeking after God. And another nurse came out and
-
she said, missionary, what are you doing here?
-
I said, I've got a man here. I need him to be seen.
-
She went and laid her hand on the side of this man's neck.
-
And she said, it's weak, but I feel a pulse.
-
We're going to get him in. We're going to bring him.
-
We're going to make sure that we get him in right now.
-
And that man was in the hospital 4 days and he was released and
-
he's going around all of Mount Hogan, Papua New Guinea right
-
now saying, oh, there's a God in heaven.
-
And he tried to call me one day, but there was faith that a man
-
laid hands on me and in his. Name we'll lay.
-
Hands on the sick. Are you sick today?
-
I don't know why I'm lingering here, but somebody needs a touch
-
in their body right now. And if you're crazy enough to
-
have the faith that God's going to do it, we serve a God who
-
can. I take authority over anxiety in
-
the name of Jesus right now. I lose peace in Jesus name.
-
I take authority over depression.
-
I bind it and I rebuke it. I cast it down right now in the
-
name of Jesus God. I lose the healing of the mind
-
and the healing of the spirit right now in Jesus name.
-
You see Mark 16 and 17, it reminds us that.
-
As we rebuild, we don't have to prove nothing.
-
Well, they need to see something.
-
We don't have to prove nothing. God will confirm it with His
-
miracles, with His signs. And with his wonders.
-
Because in his name, we'll cast out devils.
-
Just like he did in Nehemiah's time, God still fights for us.
-
God still provides us with the strength that we need.
-
He still provides us with what we need to make it.
-
Another day. Yes, Sir.
-
My God. He's so Robo, shut up.
-
OK, Isaiah 55. 7 through 9 says Let the wickedness forsake his
-
way. And the unrighteous man, his
-
thoughts. And let him return unto the.
-
Lord. And he will have mercy upon him
-
and our God, for He will. He will, He will abundantly
-
pardon. For my thoughts are not your
-
thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith the Lord.
-
For as far as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my
-
ways higher than your ways, so are my thoughts higher than your
-
thoughts. Isaiah, he calls.
-
Us to forsake wickedness, and return unto the.
-
Lord. And as we rebuild, that's when
-
it gets real, because as we rebuild the Kingdom things, God
-
rebuilds our spiritual things He saw.
-
Robo shot at a Boko. As we pick up that trail one
-
more time, as we reach over for a break one more time, and we
-
slap that mud on there, God takes that sickness that we have
-
and He begins to mend things inside of us.
-
He called Robo Shot. As we, as we try to.
-
Muddle through this life and as things tend to run into our
-
through our thoughts as we as we go through this life just
-
wondering, wondering what our next steps going to be.
-
I feel like somebody. In the house has been praying
-
for some direction and I feel like God is in the house right
-
now and I feel like if you've been praying for direction, it's
-
right in front of you. You've.
-
Seen it already, it's taking that next step.
-
It's staying in the will of God and it's staying in in alignment
-
with your spiritual authority and going to your pastor and
-
saying, pastor, I feel this. Hey, Condor Robo.
-
Shot I feel like God's. About to mess some stuff up in
-
here. Right now.
-
But as we rebuild. And we begin to surrender our
-
ways to His ways. And we labor in love.
-
Come on, somebody. And we labor in faith.
-
God's plan is so much greater than what we could fathom.
-
We look at missionaries, and I'm not trying to belittle the call
-
of a missionary. I would say I used to be 1, but
-
I still AM. But we look at missionaries as
-
heroes. We look at these men and women
-
on this table as heroes of the gospel, and we overlook this
-
couple right here, this, this family right here.
-
Come on, we we we overlook what God's doing right here.
-
We try to keep. Our missions over there and we
-
don't realize it every day. Every.
-
Time we open our eyes, we're stepping into a new mission
-
field. We're going into our place of
-
work where we can win a soul. We're going into the community
-
where where where we can pass out a bag full of cheeseburgers.
-
I must be hungry. We we can get in the church van.
-
You know what? Me and my my former pastor.
-
Used to do Pastor McGee. He was like.
-
When it whenever. I was at.
-
Back at we at Victory Church is what we call it now.
-
My pastor is West Comer. I love that man.
-
He's amazing. If you don't think so, just ask
-
me and I'll tell you. But but you know what we would
-
do? We would get in that old
-
stickered up, beat up Chevy van. It was a Chevy.
-
It still ran. If it was a Ford, we couldn't
-
have done this. I got to walk.
-
Home because our youth pastor drove me over here in a Ford
-
today. I love you my Android using
-
friend. But we would get in that.
-
Old rusty you. Know how them old vans, they
-
rust out around the Fender. They look nasty.
-
But man, we brought so many souls into the church.
-
Pastor, he was talking, he said whenever I used to be a good St.
-
Man, I hope I still AM. But we we still get in that old,
-
that church van at Shiloh, me and my wife, and we go out, we
-
pick people up and we still give home Bible studies because I
-
want to tell somebody under the sound of my voice, you never
-
arrive. Until your feet hit gold, you
-
ain't made it yet. There's still a home Bible study
-
that somebody needs to get. There's still somebody needing
-
to come to this house. You still need to get behind the
-
wheel of something and bring somebody into this place.
-
You still need to share the love of God everywhere that you go.
-
But way back in the day. Like like pre 2020 like way.
-
Back in the old days when we had black and oh I can't say TV, we
-
got 2. But we had, you know, black and
-
white TV. 'S they had a little knobs on
-
them back in the early 2000s, but man, we we would get in that
-
van and this shows you my age here.
-
You could get a bag of cheeseburgers at McDonald's.
-
For like 50 bucks you could get 50.
-
Cheeseburgers for $50, now you get like 10 for $50.
-
It's insane. But we we would.
-
Get in that old bus and then have our.
-
Have our logos all over it. Man, we.
-
Just drive through talent. With cases of water and a bag.
-
Full of cheeseburgers and say hey, Jesus loves you.
-
That's all they need. Well, they need to know who I
-
am. Well, well, you probably need to
-
schedule some. Counseling with your pastor and
-
first lady if you're thinking that way.
-
It's all about Jesus and if we're out doing Jesus's work and
-
all we have to do is show them a little love because in the true
-
church we love God and we love his people and we go from place
-
to place. God is love and they must show
-
His love. We got to show the love of God.
-
What is the greatest commandment?
-
Well. We know there's one Lord, but
-
the second is like unto it. You should love your neighbor as
-
yourself. If I could have either of the
-
Brother Masons come and see me out of this, I'm coming to a
-
close. But the rebuilding of the faith,
-
the rebuilding of spiritual fortitude and the rebuilding of
-
holiness is not easy. It requires us to commit.
-
I'm asking us today as we stand, as we literally rise up
-
together, united and standing together, that we take hold of
-
this word. And I'm challenging you today.
-
It's not going to be anything crazy because I'm not your
-
pastor, but I'm challenging you today.
-
The first person that you run into tomorrow is a soul that
-
needs to hear about Jesus challenging everybody here
-
today. You don't have to go and lay
-
hands on them and talk in tongues for 25 minutes and make
-
them think you're all kinds of crazy.
-
Shake their hand, look them in the eye and just let them know
-
Jesus loves you. And if we do that, we've done
-
it. We've done it.
-
God has. Called us.
-
To this mission field, I understand that we're we're
-
giving honor today to these world missionaries.
-
We're thankful for them. We have families in places where
-
the gospel is not supposed to be preached.
-
And we keep praying for revival. God, send us revival.
-
Lord, I wish you would revive us.
-
Revival is here. The field is white.
-
It's ready. Are you?
-
Are you? Because the laborers are few
-
that God would send laborers forth.
-
Send them forth. Out of FAC, Send them forth into
-
the highways, into the hedges, into the places where other
-
people may not want to go. We get this thinking in the
-
church and, and the sad thing is we, we've, we've had it for all
-
of these years. It's so hard to break.
-
You know what my favorite thing to do is pastor.
-
I love walking into a church and it smelled like somebody just
-
smoked 17 packs of Marlboro. I love.
-
To shake somebody's hand and hug their.
-
Neck. And almost get drunk off the
-
hug. That's when we're doing it
-
right. That's when we're doing what?
-
God has called us to do. I can't preach repent to a bunch
-
of. Saved people.
-
I can't preach be baptized in Jesus name if you've already
-
done it. I can't tell you to pray through
-
if you've already got the Holy Ghost.
-
But if we go out there and we bring them in here and we stop
-
confining God to these four walls, my God, the revival
-
that's here already. Are you ready for it?
-
I'm going to ask you to do. Something today.
-
If I'm out of order, the pastor can shut me down.
-
I'm going to ask every person here to come to the front in.
-
Unity as a church body. And just.
-
Raise your hands like the prophet Isaiah did and say, here
-
am I, Lord, send me. Send me to that table with a
-
home Bible study, with a flip chart, with whatever it is that
-
they need to hear more of you about.
-
God, give me the words and send me out.
-
God. Let them feel you at Walmart,
-
wherever it may. Be.
-
Send me, send me, I'll go. Thank you Jesus.
