Sister Janet and myself for 47 years.
-
Been getting ready for something. He has
-
to prepare us for what he's preparing
-
for us. Has to get us ready for what
-
he's getting ready. And And there's
-
something in the works. And, you know,
-
we could tell being over in at the
-
firebase in Ladispoli, which is right
-
outside Rome. And we we got word from a
-
meeting they just had in Normandy in
-
France with the the Lobers, the the
-
meeting they just had over there. I
-
think it was a was it four services they
-
had there?
-
I think it is something like that. Uh
-
had people come from all over that part
-
of France, came in and did like a three
-
or four day meeting. Something's
-
happening over there right now, but
-
something's happening here, too.
-
And uh I just wanted to
-
uh
-
I wanted to just kind of take a a
-
thought. We may get back to this another
-
time. We've kind of bounced on this
-
off and on over the past few months. But
-
um just keep getting the phrase the
-
ministry of angels.
-
The ministry of angels.
-
And with that being the case, I'm going
-
to go over to Matthew, get to the right
-
place here, to Matthew's gospel, the
-
um
-
18th chapter and the 10th verse. And I'm
-
going to read it. I think I'm going to
-
read this out of the uh
-
uh Passion Translation.
-
It says here, Jesus says, "Take heed
-
that you despise not one of these little
-
ones, for I say unto you that in heaven
-
their angels do always behold the face
-
of my father which is in heaven."
-
Well, that's just been kind of rolling
-
around for a couple days. And this is
-
Jesus talking. He said, "I'm telling
-
you, don't despise these little ones,
-
for I'm saying unto you that in heaven
-
in heaven their angels the the little
-
ones in heaven their angels do always
-
behold the face of my father which is in
-
heaven."
-
So, if you go back through there, Jesus
-
is basically letting them know that um
-
from
-
the time we come into this earth to the
-
time we go out of this earth, we've got
-
supernatural help. There are angels that
-
have been given charge over us. And
-
Jesus is telling them their angels are
-
always in the face of the Father.
-
And I thought about that. I looked back
-
at my own life. I remember numerous
-
times when
-
uh boy, when I was just starting to get
-
my life right with God, I don't know how
-
I knew it. They didn't talk about it in
-
the church we grew up in, but somehow I
-
knew there were angels out there. I knew
-
they were doing things. I knew they were
-
taking care of me. I had some encounters
-
with some things. Nobody had told me
-
what it was. I knew it was angels.
-
Didn't see them, didn't hear them, but I
-
knew they were there. And if you go back
-
here, Jesus says, "Take heed to this
-
these little ones. Don't don't don't
-
despise them because their angels are
-
always in the face of the Father which
-
is in heaven." And I thought, you know,
-
really a lot of people have a lot of
-
different ideas and different
-
persuasions about that. But what it
-
appears to be is that from conception
-
on, every one of us had an angel
-
assigned to our case. Now, we know there
-
are 10,000s * 10,000s and 1,000s of
-
1,000s, so we know God hasn't run out of
-
angelic help there.
-
But from really best we can tell, and
-
there's no way to prove yay or nay, best
-
we can tell at at conception, everyone
-
has an angel assigned to watch over and
-
take care of them. And that angel is
-
there from the beginning to the end. I
-
was thinking about
-
16th chapter, I think it is of the
-
Luke's gospel where it says there was a
-
certain rich man clothed in purple and
-
fine linen and fared sumptuously every
-
day. And there was a you know, there
-
were then there was a a beggar named
-
Lazarus that was brought and laid daily
-
at his gate, uh you know, basically to
-
ask alms. He was a beggar.
-
And to cut this short, it says the the
-
rich man died
-
and in hell he lifted up his eyes. We we
-
know that whole story, but it says, "But
-
uh Lazarus died and said and was carried
-
by angels into Abraham's bosom or we'd
-
say paradise." And he went over into
-
that place which was a location for Old
-
Testament saints before the gospel was
-
fulfilled and before they could go into
-
the fulfillment of heaven. And so you go
-
back through here, we can see where in
-
the beginning Jesus said their angels
-
are ever before the face of my father
-
which is in heaven. Then you get Lazarus
-
over here who's a beggar that I don't
-
know exactly how old he was, but angels
-
when he died angels carried him into
-
Abraham's bosom. So we see that even in
-
a lifetime those angels are still there
-
working.
-
And if you go a little bit further yet,
-
I'll give you
-
a story of um
-
my my grandmother. My my uh you've heard
-
about my dad. If you knew him, you knew
-
my dad. And uh but my mom, she was the
-
quiet side of the family. And uh but she
-
uh her mother uh my grandma Heims, uh
-
I don't know how old she was. I'm
-
guessing I I don't recall. I think it
-
was late 80s maybe, but but um she ended
-
up going up uh into a a nursing home
-
that really just short period of time
-
before she left and went over to heaven.
-
She sort of raised two families. An
-
amazing little lady. She was about 4'6
-
4'7. I don't know, something like that
-
about my mom's height. But she raised uh
-
two different families and uh and then
-
she got to where the kids were raised
-
and she
-
uh went into this
-
kind of a nursing home facility. And um
-
I I got word that one of my aunts uh
-
went to see her in there and uh said,
-
"You know, Mom, how's everything going?"
-
She said, "I just love it here. These
-
people are so nice to me. They feed me.
-
They take care of me." She said, "The
-
only thing is," she says, "there's been
-
a nice young blond-haired man standing
-
in that corner for about 3 days over
-
there waving at me, motioning for me to
-
go." And she said, "He's such a
-
nice-looking young man. I think I need
-
to go with him. So I'm I'm leaving out
-
of here." And I think it was within a
-
matter of hours they checked in on her,
-
had a smile on her face, and she checked
-
out and gone.
-
So what I'm saying is we've got angels
-
that are assigned to work with us on our
-
way in and we've got to sign we've got
-
angels that work with us until we go out
-
and then they take us to the other side.
-
Apparently escort us there. This guy
-
came. In fact, Pastor Janets parents
-
where they lived I think in their last
-
housing. Didn't they tell you one time
-
that a lot of people in that facility
-
when they get ready to go they they have
-
encounters. They they seem to see
-
angels. Well, people think they're just
-
hallucinating but a lot of the believers
-
when they get ready to leave they see
-
angels. They help us coming in but then
-
they help us when we go out.
-
And so the bottom line is from beginning
-
to end we've got an assignment to tap
-
into what God's prepared for us with
-
angelic help.
-
And to do that
-
it's so important that we do it. Most of
-
us most of us we spend our lives like
-
they say with our angels sitting by the
-
fire singing Kumbaya.
-
Not doing much of anything cuz we have a
-
It isn't that they can't figure out what
-
to do. It's we haven't given them. It's
-
not up to God to give them something to
-
do. It's up to us to give them something
-
to do.
-
And if you go back through there you
-
look at the scriptures and if you go to
-
Daniel the 9th and 10th chapters you go
-
back there in Daniel, you know,
-
he's fasting and he's praying. He's
-
mourning. He's need some some
-
information concerning the last days and
-
he's praying about this and suddenly an
-
angel shows up and says from the moment
-
you prayed the the answer came from the
-
the throne of God and God sent me. So,
-
for 21 days I've been
-
on my way here bringing the answer to
-
what you've been praying about but the
-
prince of Persia, you know, they're
-
still having trouble with that prince?
-
You still got the same country but
-
there's the same prince still over
-
there. Whole 'nother story. But anyway,
-
said but the prince of Persia detained
-
me for 21 days and I had to wait till
-
Michael came to help me so I could come
-
and bring you the answer.
-
So, anyway, but he said the minute you
-
prayed heaven sent an angel your
-
direction.
-
Our prayers open things up for angels to
-
start getting turned loose on our We
-
don't necessarily have to pray for
-
angels to come, but our prayer lives
-
release things for angels to start
-
working in our lives.
-
You know, and then you know, then you
-
can go other locations and see where um
-
throughout the scriptures that um
-
uh
-
we we see in the in the New Testament
-
that with uh
-
with with angels. It's not just prayers.
-
It says um
-
the 103rd Psalm 20th verse said, "Angels
-
mighty in strength." They're not the fat
-
little babies on the Valentine card.
-
They're not the They're not the the
-
women with the flowing gowns and all
-
that. Don't you know, if you believe
-
that, you just Anyway, um
-
but uh you know, we go back through
-
there and we can see in the scriptures
-
the 103rd Psalm 20th verse said, "And
-
his ministering spirits his angels
-
mighty in strength hearkening hearkening
-
to the voice of his word."
-
In fact, the Passion Translation says,
-
"Hearkening to the voice of his word so
-
that they can do it."
-
So, we've got angels. Number one,
-
they'll hearken to our prayers and
-
number two, they'll hearken to our
-
words.
-
Every time we take time, I've got a good
-
friend that he's over the years he's had
-
numerous encounters with angels and he
-
said there've been times when an angel
-
would show up in his room and he without
-
thinking he he'd quote a scripture of
-
something he's dealing with, said the
-
angel would disappear next thing you
-
know, the answer is coming to that. They
-
hearken to the voice of the word. Well,
-
if we'll remember on our span of time
-
here on earth from when we show up to
-
the time we leave, we have an army of
-
angels.
-
We've got We've got one we know of.
-
Jesus said their angel is ever beholding
-
the face of our Father which is in
-
heaven. We've got angels that are
-
assigned to us, mighty in strength
-
hearkening to the voice of his word and
-
they're here to do what we declare.
-
They're here to do what we say. They're
-
here to do what we pray. Most of the
-
things we need on Earth don't have to
-
come out of heaven.
-
I mean, think about that. Most of what
-
we need down here, it's the you know,
-
God doesn't have money trees pouring
-
dollar hundred dollar bills out from
-
That'd be nice, but most of what we need
-
down here doesn't come from heaven down.
-
It's out here and it has to come in. And
-
so, what God does, he's got an army of
-
helpers down here assigned to us to
-
bring in that. In fact, Hebrews, the
-
first chapter, says they're ministering
-
spirits are sent forth to minister to
-
minister not to, but to minister for
-
those to be heirs of salvation.
-
They're here They're They're assigned to
-
our lives, and if we don't understand
-
they're here to help me.
-
Whether I ever see him or not, whether I
-
ever hear him or not.
-
I was uh goodness, Pastor Janet and I,
-
we were at a meeting in Fort Worth,
-
Texas, where I believe it was one of
-
Brother Copeland's meetings years ago.
-
And uh I was really we're we're finding
-
our way into some
-
areas of ministry, and uh it was it was
-
uh Remember Paul said to the
-
Corinthians, he said there's a great
-
door and effectual before me. I think
-
it's the 16th chapter of uh 1
-
Corinthians. He said, "There's a great
-
door and effectual before me, but there
-
are many adversaries." Now, I don't know
-
if you've ever had a good big door. I
-
don't know if you've ever run into the
-
adversaries, but sometimes when there's
-
a door that God's getting ready for you
-
to go into, sometimes you'll run into
-
some stuff on your way through.
-
Y'all looking at me funny. If you
-
haven't, God bless you. But anyway, I
-
was running into some things and and and
-
I I didn't hear I didn't see anything,
-
but we're standing outside one of the
-
hotels downtown uh Fort Worth. Pastor
-
Janet and I were actually talking to
-
some friends, and I I heard, not out
-
here, but I heard in here, I heard this
-
voice saying, "I'm sent from the throne
-
of God to garrison your mind and to help
-
you with this thing." I was commissioned
-
by the prayers and gave me the name of a
-
prayer lady that we knew, didn't know
-
well, but we knew her. She's been
-
praying and God used that to send me.
-
I'm here to garrison your mind and help
-
you with this thing. Well, within a
-
couple days time, all that
-
stuff we're running into lifted and
-
left.
-
But see, you're back there the same
-
thing. Angels are here. What we need,
-
often times, it's not heaven coming down
-
and glory filling my soul. A lot of
-
times, it's just what we need that's
-
already done here on Earth. And the
-
answer that we're looking for is
-
available to us, but a lot of times,
-
God's using his
-
earthly army down here, angels, to take
-
care of some things.
-
But I'm going to finish with this. We
-
we're not going to go more than a just a
-
few more minutes.
-
But um there's a number of things that
-
have been really stirring in me about
-
where we are heading, we, not just WOC,
-
but we, the body of Christ. We, the
-
church. We, the church in America.
-
Not just uh Europe, not just uh Africa,
-
not just Central America, not just South
-
America. We, the church in
-
um in the USA and in Tulsa.
-
God's getting us ready for some things.
-
There's going to be And and there's it's
-
going to include a lot of activity,
-
spiritual activity, not by might, not by
-
power, but by the spirit of God. A lot
-
of activity by um
-
angels doing their job. They're mighty
-
in strength. They hearken to the voice
-
of his word. We don't have to see them.
-
I was in this auditorium.
-
It was just I think it was just before
-
COVID. COVID was just about to hit. I
-
was in this auditorium on a Saturday
-
afternoon praying for the Sunday morning
-
service. There were three of us in here
-
praying. Three of us guys were in here
-
praying.
-
And um all of a sudden, we we had a uh a
-
a big boom thing over here. The camera
-
was on that. It was right over here on
-
this side of the auditorium. And all of
-
a sudden, I looked over. I didn't see
-
anything. I but I knew somebody was over
-
there.
-
And I knew it wasn't anything bad. I
-
knew it wasn't Jesus. I didn't know what
-
it was, but there was somebody over
-
there by that. And all of a sudden, I
-
didn't hear it from over there. I heard
-
it in here. On the inside said, "I'm
-
sent from the throne of God, and I'm
-
going to take care of three things for
-
you.
-
And I'll take care of it now." Well,
-
without thinking, I just said, "Oh, my
-
God supplies all my need according to
-
his riches and glory by Christ Jesus."
-
What do they do? They hearken to the
-
voice of his word. So, I gave him word.
-
Just like that, what whoever that was
-
disappeared. I mean, instantly
-
disappeared. And within a
-
probably six little less than six
-
months' time, the first thing that that
-
angel said that they were sent to take
-
care of came to pass in a very very very
-
supernatural way. It's one of the
-
greatest miracles we've ever had in in
-
the in the ministry of 47 years. And it
-
just took place. Just I mean, seemed to
-
be kind of, you know, no big deal, but
-
it was a big deal.
-
>> Yeah.
-
And uh and then and there's two other
-
things that are in there's they're in
-
the works. I'll put it that way. And
-
there's an there it's not just an angel,
-
it's an angel that oversees things, and
-
there was a number of them that are
-
working together. This one apparently
-
was heading things up. Well,
-
all I'm saying is we're heading into
-
something, and we've got more heavenly
-
help than we ever thought of.
-
And if we'll do our job, if we'll do our
-
praying, and if we'll do our saying,
-
we'll do our getting. Yes.
-
Well, but I need God to do such and
-
such. That's great, but what are you
-
saying?
-
I I need I need God to do need some
-
needs that I've got. Yeah, but what are
-
you saying? I need God to do some
-
healings, but what are you saying? I
-
need God to take care of some things in
-
my family. Great, but what are you
-
saying?
-
Not just what you want, but what are you
-
saying that what God said? They hearken
-
hearken they hearken to the voice of his
-
word.
-
Not just if you carry a Bible around,
-
and not just if God says it, it's not
-
just if he he's already said it, they're
-
needing somebody down here to say it.
-
And if we'll get hold of that thing,
-
find out what is it what is it that I
-
need God to do? What is it I'm looking
-
for him to do? What is it he's stirring
-
on the inside of me? And I'm going to
-
start
-
verbalizing that.
-
Okay? With what took place with that
-
angel over there, what, a few years ago
-
now, already partially took place, but
-
we haven't seen anything yet. When it
-
all comes to pass, I'll let you know.
-
Before that, it's not necessary. But
-
there's some things that he said, "I'm
-
going to take care of this, this, and
-
this." And he already took care of one,
-
and there's two more that are in the
-
works. But it wasn't just Yeah, great.
-
It's okay. My God supp- One of What do I
-
need to do? I need to line my words up
-
with God's word.
-
Give them what God said about it. I gave
-
them what God said, and the first one
-
came to pass in a a very uh
-
big way. I'll put it that way.
-
And so uh So, anyway,
-
uh going back through,
-
we we're getting ready for what God's
-
getting ready for us. Okay? And what
-
happens from the time you and I from the
-
moment of conception until from the time
-
we come in until the time we get out,
-
from the time we come into this earth
-
until the time we leave out of here,
-
we've got a heavenly army that's on our
-
team, on our side, and it's our job to
-
make sure we're giving them something to
-
do. We Like I said, we don't want them
-
sitting by the campfire singing Kumbaya
-
and wondering why good things are not
-
happening more often. Why don't you
-
know, all those things happen to other
-
people. I've heard about people getting
-
this kind of miracle, people getting
-
that kind of miracle. Great. What kind
-
of miracle are you and I getting?
-
Well, I just don't get that many. Well,
-
what are you doing about it? Are you
-
giving God something to work with?
-
Sometimes sometimes he's got he's he can
-
do the job, he just needs something down
-
here to work with.
-
That comes from us. And it comes from
-
you and I giving those words out
-
because they hearken they hearken
-
diligently to the voice of his word.
-
And I'll just give you a couple of
-
examples. There's just some things that
-
I've studied for a long time and still
-
don't know much about. But you go back
-
through there and
-
we were in I was thinking this about it
-
this morning because Larry and Angela
-
Keaton had that great service here, was
-
it 2 weeks ago? Something like that. And
-
they're over in
-
Poland right now.
-
They had a school, they had a church
-
there. They're over there doing they
-
have a yearly conference and they're
-
over there. They're right now. Probably
-
just about finishing the night service.
-
But
-
I was over there.
-
Actually, I think I flew over by myself
-
if I remember right and went into this
-
actual conference.
-
And um
-
uh getting ready to do the night
-
service.
-
And and I heard the spirit of God on the
-
inside say, "I'm going to work through
-
angels tonight."
-
I said, "Okay."
-
So I said, "Lord, I agree with that. I
-
thank you, Lord, you work through the
-
ministry of angels. You did that, you do
-
that, you're going to do it tonight. I
-
you said it and therefore I agree with
-
it. I thank you, Lord, you're working
-
through the through the ministry of
-
angels tonight." Well, I don't know what
-
that means, okay? Didn't see one, didn't
-
hear one. Well,
-
finished up the service, ministered to
-
people,
-
and um
-
actually spirit of God dealt with us,
-
you know, called people up that are
-
having major issues in their in the
-
middle part of their back.
-
So we called those folks up and had a
-
line of people there.
-
Ministered to those people. After the
-
service, this older gentleman came
-
walking up the the aisle, came to the
-
front, found one of the interpreters and
-
said, "I've never been to anything like
-
this in my life.
-
Somebody just told me to come to the
-
service, so I did. I've never been to a
-
place I don't know anything about this.
-
You know, the man the guy up front was
-
telling people to come up if they had
-
back problems and he said, 'I did, but I
-
didn't know what he's talking about.'
-
Never heard never seen anything like
-
that before." He said, "So I'm standing
-
there and people up there there where
-
he's putting his hands on them and
-
they're falling down on the floor." And
-
he said, "But I'm standing back there."
-
And he said, "All of a sudden
-
all of a sudden." And he said, "But I've
-
had I've had tumors up and down my
-
back."
-
He said, "Up and down my I have spinal
-
tumors of some kind." He said, "All up
-
and down my back.
-
I live in pain. I suffer with that." He
-
said,
-
"But all of a sudden some who somebody
-
behind me just reached up and put their
-
their hand on my back."
-
"Well, I turned around to tell them
-
don't do that. I got a problem back
-
there." I turned around to tell them to
-
stop, but when I turned around there was
-
nobody there.
-
There was a hand on my back, but there
-
was no person back there behind the
-
hand. I don't know what that was, but
-
when that all stopped the tumors all
-
disappeared. My back's totally well. Can
-
anybody tell me what that was?" And
-
thank God one of the workers could say,
-
"Yeah, I can tell you what it was."
-
Okay?
-
So so there were there've been instances
-
like that where you hear at the World
-
Outreach Church. We're
-
in
-
East Central.
-
Thank God for East Central High School.
-
And we were there we were having a
-
service on a Sunday morning and um
-
uh there was a man that had come in.
-
Uh he was a businessman and uh his his
-
his the company worked for had major
-
division out on the East Coast
-
somewhere. And there was a a guy that
-
was I guess maybe one of his bosses that
-
came out to do something and he said,
-
"Why don't you come to church with me?"
-
And the guy said, "Yeah." Okay. So, he
-
came on Sunday morning. They're sitting
-
way in the back.
-
The guy's got something pretty strong
-
wrong with him. I don't recall what it
-
was. Physically, he had a real major
-
issue. He's sitting back there and this
-
was on a
-
a Sunday morning. When we started out
-
early in the early days, we had a lot of
-
a lot of flow of the Holy Ghost on on
-
Sunday morning services.
-
And we're headed back into that.
-
So, just get ready. Okay. We're we're
-
going back in. We've been in a in an
-
interim time for some other things to
-
take place. But, there's sitting way it
-
was kind of a tilted
-
tilted
-
uh
-
auditorium.
-
Sitting up in the back, and the guy
-
leans over the the guest turned leans
-
over to the guy from our church and
-
said,
-
"Somebody's got their hand on me. Who
-
who is that?" He looked over. He said,
-
"There's nobody there." He said, "Yeah,
-
there is. Somebody's got their hand on
-
my on my back. Somebody's got their hand
-
on me. I can tell it's hot. I can feel
-
it. There's somebody's got their hand on
-
me."
-
Said and he said, "I'll talk to you
-
later."
-
And they left the service and then went
-
back finished the the job and the guy
-
went back to wherever it was on the East
-
Coast and called his friend here in
-
Tulsa and said, "Just thought I'd let
-
you know all the symptoms are gone, all
-
the pain's gone, everything else is
-
gone. Whatever took place that morning,
-
it I I got an instant healing in my
-
body." And of course, the guy from the
-
church said, "Well, I'll now I'll tell
-
you what it was." And it was an angel
-
that had come in. Well, we need to get
-
ready for that.
-
We can go on and on. There was a I'll
-
give you another another case and we'll
-
we'll finish up another time.
-
But, um
-
um
-
>> [clears throat]
-
>> There's a
-
a church in Colorado
-
where I worked a number of years ago.
-
Now, I was a youth pastor of all things.
-
And uh
-
uh
-
we pastored Jan and I we'd gotten
-
married. We're traveling full-time on
-
the road. And um we're going into We'd
-
been to another meeting. I think at
-
Pastor Sam Carson's if I recall right.
-
His it was around 4th of July. We went
-
to this meeting at his church and then
-
we're going to finish up and then we're
-
going to fly uh to uh Denver and then go
-
to this church in Colorado and pick up
-
on that meeting and go three or four
-
days there.
-
Well, we're down there and somebody
-
said, "Man, you should have been here
-
yesterday." Don't you just love it when
-
people do that?
-
Jesus came walking in, walked through
-
the wall, and asked for it. You have
-
been. No.
-
Somebody said, "You should have been
-
here yesterday." Said, "Why?" Said,
-
"Well,
-
um we had so-and-so." Named a particular
-
minister. Uh in fact, if I recall, I
-
think it was Ed Dufresne.
-
You know, we used to laugh about it cuz
-
he he'd get up in the pulpit and he'd
-
say, "Wild Eddie's back." And I thought
-
he'd lived that out. He
-
would he'd get up and flow with the Holy
-
Ghost, have miracles, amazing things
-
took place. But he said he uh
-
the people told him said there was Ed,
-
if I recall, right? And said he was on
-
the platform. They had a big like a
-
grand piano up on the platform. And he
-
was there and um
-
said he just got up and he said uh I
-
don't know what's needed, but he said
-
there's somebody here that needs a new
-
heart.
-
Somebody you you don't need just a
-
healing, you need a new heart. Whoever
-
you are, come down here.
-
And a few people came to the front and
-
this one gentleman, I I don't know, I'm
-
guessing maybe maybe in his 60s at the
-
most, came down there and he said,
-
"That's me. I need a new heart." And he
-
said, "Well, you're the one I'm looking
-
for because he said, 'When I called you
-
down here,' he said, 'there's been an
-
angel standing behind the piano back
-
there all through the service holding a
-
brand new heart for somebody.' He He's
-
bring He brought a heart from heaven.
-
There's a brand new heart for somebody
-
and that's you. You're going to get a
-
brand new heart today." Guy says, "Well,
-
I need it cuz they've told me I'm not
-
going to live long." In fact, he said,
-
"My brother died." And I I knew his
-
brother. He said, "My brother died a
-
year or two ago and he said I was coming
-
out to this meeting. I was going to go
-
by, you know, where his the tombstone
-
the the gravestone was. Go by and just
-
say, you know, I'll be with you soon.
-
They're telling me I'm not going to last
-
long. So I I thought I'd come out here
-
and get one more trip to Colorado and
-
then I I just thought I'd let you know
-
I'm going to be in heaven soon. I'll be
-
with you."
-
And he said, "I came to tell him that."
-
And he said, "But," he said, "when when
-
he went to that service, he went back to
-
the hotel." he said he'd grab a suitcase
-
and take it one step at a time.
-
Another step at a time. Another step
-
could barely get up the steps to the
-
hotel room. He said, "I got back to the
-
hotel." And he said, "All of a sudden I
-
realized the power of God came on me and
-
I ran all the way to the top and I ran
-
all the way to the bottom and I ran all
-
the way to the top and ran all the way
-
to the bottom." He said, "Then I got my
-
wife and we got in the car, we went out
-
to the graveyard and I went to where my
-
brother's gravestone was and said,
-
'Well, buddy,
-
just thought I'd let you know you're
-
going to have to wait a while cuz God
-
healed me. I got a new heart. I'm not
-
going to be coming to see you for quite
-
a while now. I got a lot more to do
-
here. Got a brand new heart.' But he
-
said it was an angel that brought that
-
to Angels aren't healers, they're
-
messengers. An angel brought that.
-
I know another one like that. I won't go
-
into it now. Another One case just like
-
that took place in northern part of
-
Canada.
-
Somebody needed a new heart. They didn't
-
just need a
-
a healing, they needed a replacement.
-
Got a heart. It went It went across the
-
country in the tabloid magazines. Person
-
gets new heart. They said by the next
-
night folks were coming from all over
-
the country with crystals and and I mean
-
everything you can think of to come in
-
cuz if people wanted new hearts, they
-
thought if they'd get in there they'd
-
get a new heart. This guy came in, this
-
lady I believe it was, got a a brand new
-
heart. Well, what it was there was an
-
angel that was standing over there on
-
the side of the room, stood through the
-
whole service holding a heart for
-
somebody, delivered it and that person
-
got an instant instant miracle.
-
We could go on and on, but I'm telling
-
you there is a there's a ministry of
-
angels.
-
Okay? They're not doing the miracles,
-
they're messengers.
-
They're down here to do the work. Jesus
-
is the healer, he's the miracle worker,
-
but he's got to have some cooperation
-
down here and if he could just find some
-
believers that say, "I think I'll get in
-
the middle of that. I think I'll get my
-
words lined up with God's words and
-
we're going going some miracles down
-
here. I've got a I got a knowing in my
-
knower.
-
I don't have all the answers.
-
Fact, sometimes I'm not sure I got many
-
of them.
-
But I tell you the ones I do have, I'm
-
pretty persuaded of and I'm I'm very
-
convinced very convinced we're about to
-
see some real demonstrations whether we
-
see it with our eyes, whether we hear it
-
with our ears, we're about to see some
-
demonstrations of angels coming in and
-
working with the head of the church, the
-
Lord Jesus to deliver what he bought and
-
paid for. And we're going to see people
-
getting amazing miracles. Like I said a
-
few minutes ago, the lady that had the
-
internally.
-
I mean, everything was replaced. Was an
-
angel in on that? I don't know.
-
I don't have any idea.
-
I've got a I've got a a number of other
-
cases of things like that that I've
-
seen, watched, or known about over the
-
years. We're going to get on
-
in on a bunch of that.
-
God's in the miracle business.
-
Hallelujah. Glory to God. Well, now I
-
know that's not quite a a Mother's Day
-
message, but
-
moms, you can get in on it, too.
-
My grandmothers prayed for me.
-
I know my mom prayed for me, bless her
-
heart. She got gray hair just trying to
-
keep up with me.
-
And I'm not going to say another word
-
about that. But anyway, anyway,
-
let's all just bow our heads.
-
Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray
-
over this house. Father, there's a
-
stirring in my heart
-
that what you raised us up for is still
-
going to come to pass. Thank you, dear
-
Lord. Thank you. We're a we're kind of a
-
splinter group in the body. We we've got
-
a particular facet, we've got a
-
wheelhouse,
-
a lane that we're to run in and we're
-
going to do our job.
-
We at WOC, we're do we're doing our job
-
in what you want done. And so, I pray
-
over this house right now. And I thank
-
you. You're going to be sending people
-
in from north, south, east, and west.
-
You're going to keep sending more and
-
more people. There's an influx of
-
younger folks that are coming in.
-
There's an influx of high school and and
-
young adults that are coming in.
-
And at the same time
-
uh the the other generations, we're
-
we're a a multi-generational church. It
-
takes It takes the leadership of the
-
older, and it takes the energy of the
-
newer, and we're going to bring in what
-
we've got to produce what you want. And
-
so, Father, I think
