  1. Sister Janet and myself for 47 years.

  2. Been getting ready for something. He has

  3. to prepare us for what he's preparing

  4. for us. Has to get us ready for what

  5. he's getting ready. And And there's

  6. something in the works. And, you know,

  7. we could tell being over in at the

  8. firebase in Ladispoli, which is right

  9. outside Rome. And we we got word from a

  10. meeting they just had in Normandy in

  11. France with the the Lobers, the the

  12. meeting they just had over there. I

  13. think it was a was it four services they

  14. had there?

  15. I think it is something like that. Uh

  16. had people come from all over that part

  17. of France, came in and did like a three

  18. or four day meeting. Something's

  19. happening over there right now, but

  20. something's happening here, too.

  21. And uh I just wanted to

  22. uh

  23. I wanted to just kind of take a a

  24. thought. We may get back to this another

  25. time. We've kind of bounced on this

  26. off and on over the past few months. But

  27. um just keep getting the phrase the

  28. ministry of angels.

  29. The ministry of angels.

  30. And with that being the case, I'm going

  31. to go over to Matthew, get to the right

  32. place here, to Matthew's gospel, the

  33. um

  34. 18th chapter and the 10th verse. And I'm

  35. going to read it. I think I'm going to

  36. read this out of the uh

  37. uh Passion Translation.

  38. It says here, Jesus says, "Take heed

  39. that you despise not one of these little

  40. ones, for I say unto you that in heaven

  41. their angels do always behold the face

  42. of my father which is in heaven."

  43. Well, that's just been kind of rolling

  44. around for a couple days. And this is

  45. Jesus talking. He said, "I'm telling

  46. you, don't despise these little ones,

  47. for I'm saying unto you that in heaven

  48. in heaven their angels the the little

  49. ones in heaven their angels do always

  50. behold the face of my father which is in

  51. heaven."

  52. So, if you go back through there, Jesus

  53. is basically letting them know that um

  54. from

  55. the time we come into this earth to the

  56. time we go out of this earth, we've got

  57. supernatural help. There are angels that

  58. have been given charge over us. And

  59. Jesus is telling them their angels are

  60. always in the face of the Father.

  61. And I thought about that. I looked back

  62. at my own life. I remember numerous

  63. times when

  64. uh boy, when I was just starting to get

  65. my life right with God, I don't know how

  66. I knew it. They didn't talk about it in

  67. the church we grew up in, but somehow I

  68. knew there were angels out there. I knew

  69. they were doing things. I knew they were

  70. taking care of me. I had some encounters

  71. with some things. Nobody had told me

  72. what it was. I knew it was angels.

  73. Didn't see them, didn't hear them, but I

  74. knew they were there. And if you go back

  75. here, Jesus says, "Take heed to this

  76. these little ones. Don't don't don't

  77. despise them because their angels are

  78. always in the face of the Father which

  79. is in heaven." And I thought, you know,

  80. really a lot of people have a lot of

  81. different ideas and different

  82. persuasions about that. But what it

  83. appears to be is that from conception

  84. on, every one of us had an angel

  85. assigned to our case. Now, we know there

  86. are 10,000s * 10,000s and 1,000s of

  87. 1,000s, so we know God hasn't run out of

  88. angelic help there.

  89. But from really best we can tell, and

  90. there's no way to prove yay or nay, best

  91. we can tell at at conception, everyone

  92. has an angel assigned to watch over and

  93. take care of them. And that angel is

  94. there from the beginning to the end. I

  95. was thinking about

  96. 16th chapter, I think it is of the

  97. Luke's gospel where it says there was a

  98. certain rich man clothed in purple and

  99. fine linen and fared sumptuously every

  100. day. And there was a you know, there

  101. were then there was a a beggar named

  102. Lazarus that was brought and laid daily

  103. at his gate, uh you know, basically to

  104. ask alms. He was a beggar.

  105. And to cut this short, it says the the

  106. rich man died

  107. and in hell he lifted up his eyes. We we

  108. know that whole story, but it says, "But

  109. uh Lazarus died and said and was carried

  110. by angels into Abraham's bosom or we'd

  111. say paradise." And he went over into

  112. that place which was a location for Old

  113. Testament saints before the gospel was

  114. fulfilled and before they could go into

  115. the fulfillment of heaven. And so you go

  116. back through here, we can see where in

  117. the beginning Jesus said their angels

  118. are ever before the face of my father

  119. which is in heaven. Then you get Lazarus

  120. over here who's a beggar that I don't

  121. know exactly how old he was, but angels

  122. when he died angels carried him into

  123. Abraham's bosom. So we see that even in

  124. a lifetime those angels are still there

  125. working.

  126. And if you go a little bit further yet,

  127. I'll give you

  128. a story of um

  129. my my grandmother. My my uh you've heard

  130. about my dad. If you knew him, you knew

  131. my dad. And uh but my mom, she was the

  132. quiet side of the family. And uh but she

  133. uh her mother uh my grandma Heims, uh

  134. I don't know how old she was. I'm

  135. guessing I I don't recall. I think it

  136. was late 80s maybe, but but um she ended

  137. up going up uh into a a nursing home

  138. that really just short period of time

  139. before she left and went over to heaven.

  140. She sort of raised two families. An

  141. amazing little lady. She was about 4'6

  142. 4'7. I don't know, something like that

  143. about my mom's height. But she raised uh

  144. two different families and uh and then

  145. she got to where the kids were raised

  146. and she

  147. uh went into this

  148. kind of a nursing home facility. And um

  149. I I got word that one of my aunts uh

  150. went to see her in there and uh said,

  151. "You know, Mom, how's everything going?"

  152. She said, "I just love it here. These

  153. people are so nice to me. They feed me.

  154. They take care of me." She said, "The

  155. only thing is," she says, "there's been

  156. a nice young blond-haired man standing

  157. in that corner for about 3 days over

  158. there waving at me, motioning for me to

  159. go." And she said, "He's such a

  160. nice-looking young man. I think I need

  161. to go with him. So I'm I'm leaving out

  162. of here." And I think it was within a

  163. matter of hours they checked in on her,

  164. had a smile on her face, and she checked

  165. out and gone.

  166. So what I'm saying is we've got angels

  167. that are assigned to work with us on our

  168. way in and we've got to sign we've got

  169. angels that work with us until we go out

  170. and then they take us to the other side.

  171. Apparently escort us there. This guy

  172. came. In fact, Pastor Janets parents

  173. where they lived I think in their last

  174. housing. Didn't they tell you one time

  175. that a lot of people in that facility

  176. when they get ready to go they they have

  177. encounters. They they seem to see

  178. angels. Well, people think they're just

  179. hallucinating but a lot of the believers

  180. when they get ready to leave they see

  181. angels. They help us coming in but then

  182. they help us when we go out.

  183. And so the bottom line is from beginning

  184. to end we've got an assignment to tap

  185. into what God's prepared for us with

  186. angelic help.

  187. And to do that

  188. it's so important that we do it. Most of

  189. us most of us we spend our lives like

  190. they say with our angels sitting by the

  191. fire singing Kumbaya.

  192. Not doing much of anything cuz we have a

  193. It isn't that they can't figure out what

  194. to do. It's we haven't given them. It's

  195. not up to God to give them something to

  196. do. It's up to us to give them something

  197. to do.

  198. And if you go back through there you

  199. look at the scriptures and if you go to

  200. Daniel the 9th and 10th chapters you go

  201. back there in Daniel, you know,

  202. he's fasting and he's praying. He's

  203. mourning. He's need some some

  204. information concerning the last days and

  205. he's praying about this and suddenly an

  206. angel shows up and says from the moment

  207. you prayed the the answer came from the

  208. the throne of God and God sent me. So,

  209. for 21 days I've been

  210. on my way here bringing the answer to

  211. what you've been praying about but the

  212. prince of Persia, you know, they're

  213. still having trouble with that prince?

  214. You still got the same country but

  215. there's the same prince still over

  216. there. Whole 'nother story. But anyway,

  217. said but the prince of Persia detained

  218. me for 21 days and I had to wait till

  219. Michael came to help me so I could come

  220. and bring you the answer.

  221. So, anyway, but he said the minute you

  222. prayed heaven sent an angel your

  223. direction.

  224. Our prayers open things up for angels to

  225. start getting turned loose on our We

  226. don't necessarily have to pray for

  227. angels to come, but our prayer lives

  228. release things for angels to start

  229. working in our lives.

  230. You know, and then you know, then you

  231. can go other locations and see where um

  232. throughout the scriptures that um

  233. uh

  234. we we see in the in the New Testament

  235. that with uh

  236. with with angels. It's not just prayers.

  237. It says um

  238. the 103rd Psalm 20th verse said, "Angels

  239. mighty in strength." They're not the fat

  240. little babies on the Valentine card.

  241. They're not the They're not the the

  242. women with the flowing gowns and all

  243. that. Don't you know, if you believe

  244. that, you just Anyway, um

  245. but uh you know, we go back through

  246. there and we can see in the scriptures

  247. the 103rd Psalm 20th verse said, "And

  248. his ministering spirits his angels

  249. mighty in strength hearkening hearkening

  250. to the voice of his word."

  251. In fact, the Passion Translation says,

  252. "Hearkening to the voice of his word so

  253. that they can do it."

  254. So, we've got angels. Number one,

  255. they'll hearken to our prayers and

  256. number two, they'll hearken to our

  257. words.

  258. Every time we take time, I've got a good

  259. friend that he's over the years he's had

  260. numerous encounters with angels and he

  261. said there've been times when an angel

  262. would show up in his room and he without

  263. thinking he he'd quote a scripture of

  264. something he's dealing with, said the

  265. angel would disappear next thing you

  266. know, the answer is coming to that. They

  267. hearken to the voice of the word. Well,

  268. if we'll remember on our span of time

  269. here on earth from when we show up to

  270. the time we leave, we have an army of

  271. angels.

  272. We've got We've got one we know of.

  273. Jesus said their angel is ever beholding

  274. the face of our Father which is in

  275. heaven. We've got angels that are

  276. assigned to us, mighty in strength

  277. hearkening to the voice of his word and

  278. they're here to do what we declare.

  279. They're here to do what we say. They're

  280. here to do what we pray. Most of the

  281. things we need on Earth don't have to

  282. come out of heaven.

  283. I mean, think about that. Most of what

  284. we need down here, it's the you know,

  285. God doesn't have money trees pouring

  286. dollar hundred dollar bills out from

  287. That'd be nice, but most of what we need

  288. down here doesn't come from heaven down.

  289. It's out here and it has to come in. And

  290. so, what God does, he's got an army of

  291. helpers down here assigned to us to

  292. bring in that. In fact, Hebrews, the

  293. first chapter, says they're ministering

  294. spirits are sent forth to minister to

  295. minister not to, but to minister for

  296. those to be heirs of salvation.

  297. They're here They're They're assigned to

  298. our lives, and if we don't understand

  299. they're here to help me.

  300. Whether I ever see him or not, whether I

  301. ever hear him or not.

  302. I was uh goodness, Pastor Janet and I,

  303. we were at a meeting in Fort Worth,

  304. Texas, where I believe it was one of

  305. Brother Copeland's meetings years ago.

  306. And uh I was really we're we're finding

  307. our way into some

  308. areas of ministry, and uh it was it was

  309. uh Remember Paul said to the

  310. Corinthians, he said there's a great

  311. door and effectual before me. I think

  312. it's the 16th chapter of uh 1

  313. Corinthians. He said, "There's a great

  314. door and effectual before me, but there

  315. are many adversaries." Now, I don't know

  316. if you've ever had a good big door. I

  317. don't know if you've ever run into the

  318. adversaries, but sometimes when there's

  319. a door that God's getting ready for you

  320. to go into, sometimes you'll run into

  321. some stuff on your way through.

  322. Y'all looking at me funny. If you

  323. haven't, God bless you. But anyway, I

  324. was running into some things and and and

  325. I I didn't hear I didn't see anything,

  326. but we're standing outside one of the

  327. hotels downtown uh Fort Worth. Pastor

  328. Janet and I were actually talking to

  329. some friends, and I I heard, not out

  330. here, but I heard in here, I heard this

  331. voice saying, "I'm sent from the throne

  332. of God to garrison your mind and to help

  333. you with this thing." I was commissioned

  334. by the prayers and gave me the name of a

  335. prayer lady that we knew, didn't know

  336. well, but we knew her. She's been

  337. praying and God used that to send me.

  338. I'm here to garrison your mind and help

  339. you with this thing. Well, within a

  340. couple days time, all that

  341. stuff we're running into lifted and

  342. left.

  343. But see, you're back there the same

  344. thing. Angels are here. What we need,

  345. often times, it's not heaven coming down

  346. and glory filling my soul. A lot of

  347. times, it's just what we need that's

  348. already done here on Earth. And the

  349. answer that we're looking for is

  350. available to us, but a lot of times,

  351. God's using his

  352. earthly army down here, angels, to take

  353. care of some things.

  354. But I'm going to finish with this. We

  355. we're not going to go more than a just a

  356. few more minutes.

  357. But um there's a number of things that

  358. have been really stirring in me about

  359. where we are heading, we, not just WOC,

  360. but we, the body of Christ. We, the

  361. church. We, the church in America.

  362. Not just uh Europe, not just uh Africa,

  363. not just Central America, not just South

  364. America. We, the church in

  365. um in the USA and in Tulsa.

  366. God's getting us ready for some things.

  367. There's going to be And and there's it's

  368. going to include a lot of activity,

  369. spiritual activity, not by might, not by

  370. power, but by the spirit of God. A lot

  371. of activity by um

  372. angels doing their job. They're mighty

  373. in strength. They hearken to the voice

  374. of his word. We don't have to see them.

  375. I was in this auditorium.

  376. It was just I think it was just before

  377. COVID. COVID was just about to hit. I

  378. was in this auditorium on a Saturday

  379. afternoon praying for the Sunday morning

  380. service. There were three of us in here

  381. praying. Three of us guys were in here

  382. praying.

  383. And um all of a sudden, we we had a uh a

  384. a big boom thing over here. The camera

  385. was on that. It was right over here on

  386. this side of the auditorium. And all of

  387. a sudden, I looked over. I didn't see

  388. anything. I but I knew somebody was over

  389. there.

  390. And I knew it wasn't anything bad. I

  391. knew it wasn't Jesus. I didn't know what

  392. it was, but there was somebody over

  393. there by that. And all of a sudden, I

  394. didn't hear it from over there. I heard

  395. it in here. On the inside said, "I'm

  396. sent from the throne of God, and I'm

  397. going to take care of three things for

  398. you.

  399. And I'll take care of it now." Well,

  400. without thinking, I just said, "Oh, my

  401. God supplies all my need according to

  402. his riches and glory by Christ Jesus."

  403. What do they do? They hearken to the

  404. voice of his word. So, I gave him word.

  405. Just like that, what whoever that was

  406. disappeared. I mean, instantly

  407. disappeared. And within a

  408. probably six little less than six

  409. months' time, the first thing that that

  410. angel said that they were sent to take

  411. care of came to pass in a very very very

  412. supernatural way. It's one of the

  413. greatest miracles we've ever had in in

  414. the in the ministry of 47 years. And it

  415. just took place. Just I mean, seemed to

  416. be kind of, you know, no big deal, but

  417. it was a big deal.

  418. >> Yeah.

  419. And uh and then and there's two other

  420. things that are in there's they're in

  421. the works. I'll put it that way. And

  422. there's an there it's not just an angel,

  423. it's an angel that oversees things, and

  424. there was a number of them that are

  425. working together. This one apparently

  426. was heading things up. Well,

  427. all I'm saying is we're heading into

  428. something, and we've got more heavenly

  429. help than we ever thought of.

  430. And if we'll do our job, if we'll do our

  431. praying, and if we'll do our saying,

  432. we'll do our getting. Yes.

  433. Well, but I need God to do such and

  434. such. That's great, but what are you

  435. saying?

  436. I I need I need God to do need some

  437. needs that I've got. Yeah, but what are

  438. you saying? I need God to do some

  439. healings, but what are you saying? I

  440. need God to take care of some things in

  441. my family. Great, but what are you

  442. saying?

  443. Not just what you want, but what are you

  444. saying that what God said? They hearken

  445. hearken they hearken to the voice of his

  446. word.

  447. Not just if you carry a Bible around,

  448. and not just if God says it, it's not

  449. just if he he's already said it, they're

  450. needing somebody down here to say it.

  451. And if we'll get hold of that thing,

  452. find out what is it what is it that I

  453. need God to do? What is it I'm looking

  454. for him to do? What is it he's stirring

  455. on the inside of me? And I'm going to

  456. start

  457. verbalizing that.

  458. Okay? With what took place with that

  459. angel over there, what, a few years ago

  460. now, already partially took place, but

  461. we haven't seen anything yet. When it

  462. all comes to pass, I'll let you know.

  463. Before that, it's not necessary. But

  464. there's some things that he said, "I'm

  465. going to take care of this, this, and

  466. this." And he already took care of one,

  467. and there's two more that are in the

  468. works. But it wasn't just Yeah, great.

  469. It's okay. My God supp- One of What do I

  470. need to do? I need to line my words up

  471. with God's word.

  472. Give them what God said about it. I gave

  473. them what God said, and the first one

  474. came to pass in a a very uh

  475. big way. I'll put it that way.

  476. And so uh So, anyway,

  477. uh going back through,

  478. we we're getting ready for what God's

  479. getting ready for us. Okay? And what

  480. happens from the time you and I from the

  481. moment of conception until from the time

  482. we come in until the time we get out,

  483. from the time we come into this earth

  484. until the time we leave out of here,

  485. we've got a heavenly army that's on our

  486. team, on our side, and it's our job to

  487. make sure we're giving them something to

  488. do. We Like I said, we don't want them

  489. sitting by the campfire singing Kumbaya

  490. and wondering why good things are not

  491. happening more often. Why don't you

  492. know, all those things happen to other

  493. people. I've heard about people getting

  494. this kind of miracle, people getting

  495. that kind of miracle. Great. What kind

  496. of miracle are you and I getting?

  497. Well, I just don't get that many. Well,

  498. what are you doing about it? Are you

  499. giving God something to work with?

  500. Sometimes sometimes he's got he's he can

  501. do the job, he just needs something down

  502. here to work with.

  503. That comes from us. And it comes from

  504. you and I giving those words out

  505. because they hearken they hearken

  506. diligently to the voice of his word.

  507. And I'll just give you a couple of

  508. examples. There's just some things that

  509. I've studied for a long time and still

  510. don't know much about. But you go back

  511. through there and

  512. we were in I was thinking this about it

  513. this morning because Larry and Angela

  514. Keaton had that great service here, was

  515. it 2 weeks ago? Something like that. And

  516. they're over in

  517. Poland right now.

  518. They had a school, they had a church

  519. there. They're over there doing they

  520. have a yearly conference and they're

  521. over there. They're right now. Probably

  522. just about finishing the night service.

  523. But

  524. I was over there.

  525. Actually, I think I flew over by myself

  526. if I remember right and went into this

  527. actual conference.

  528. And um

  529. uh getting ready to do the night

  530. service.

  531. And and I heard the spirit of God on the

  532. inside say, "I'm going to work through

  533. angels tonight."

  534. I said, "Okay."

  535. So I said, "Lord, I agree with that. I

  536. thank you, Lord, you work through the

  537. ministry of angels. You did that, you do

  538. that, you're going to do it tonight. I

  539. you said it and therefore I agree with

  540. it. I thank you, Lord, you're working

  541. through the through the ministry of

  542. angels tonight." Well, I don't know what

  543. that means, okay? Didn't see one, didn't

  544. hear one. Well,

  545. finished up the service, ministered to

  546. people,

  547. and um

  548. actually spirit of God dealt with us,

  549. you know, called people up that are

  550. having major issues in their in the

  551. middle part of their back.

  552. So we called those folks up and had a

  553. line of people there.

  554. Ministered to those people. After the

  555. service, this older gentleman came

  556. walking up the the aisle, came to the

  557. front, found one of the interpreters and

  558. said, "I've never been to anything like

  559. this in my life.

  560. Somebody just told me to come to the

  561. service, so I did. I've never been to a

  562. place I don't know anything about this.

  563. You know, the man the guy up front was

  564. telling people to come up if they had

  565. back problems and he said, 'I did, but I

  566. didn't know what he's talking about.'

  567. Never heard never seen anything like

  568. that before." He said, "So I'm standing

  569. there and people up there there where

  570. he's putting his hands on them and

  571. they're falling down on the floor." And

  572. he said, "But I'm standing back there."

  573. And he said, "All of a sudden

  574. all of a sudden." And he said, "But I've

  575. had I've had tumors up and down my

  576. back."

  577. He said, "Up and down my I have spinal

  578. tumors of some kind." He said, "All up

  579. and down my back.

  580. I live in pain. I suffer with that." He

  581. said,

  582. "But all of a sudden some who somebody

  583. behind me just reached up and put their

  584. their hand on my back."

  585. "Well, I turned around to tell them

  586. don't do that. I got a problem back

  587. there." I turned around to tell them to

  588. stop, but when I turned around there was

  589. nobody there.

  590. There was a hand on my back, but there

  591. was no person back there behind the

  592. hand. I don't know what that was, but

  593. when that all stopped the tumors all

  594. disappeared. My back's totally well. Can

  595. anybody tell me what that was?" And

  596. thank God one of the workers could say,

  597. "Yeah, I can tell you what it was."

  598. Okay?

  599. So so there were there've been instances

  600. like that where you hear at the World

  601. Outreach Church. We're

  602. in

  603. East Central.

  604. Thank God for East Central High School.

  605. And we were there we were having a

  606. service on a Sunday morning and um

  607. uh there was a man that had come in.

  608. Uh he was a businessman and uh his his

  609. his the company worked for had major

  610. division out on the East Coast

  611. somewhere. And there was a a guy that

  612. was I guess maybe one of his bosses that

  613. came out to do something and he said,

  614. "Why don't you come to church with me?"

  615. And the guy said, "Yeah." Okay. So, he

  616. came on Sunday morning. They're sitting

  617. way in the back.

  618. The guy's got something pretty strong

  619. wrong with him. I don't recall what it

  620. was. Physically, he had a real major

  621. issue. He's sitting back there and this

  622. was on a

  623. a Sunday morning. When we started out

  624. early in the early days, we had a lot of

  625. a lot of flow of the Holy Ghost on on

  626. Sunday morning services.

  627. And we're headed back into that.

  628. So, just get ready. Okay. We're we're

  629. going back in. We've been in a in an

  630. interim time for some other things to

  631. take place. But, there's sitting way it

  632. was kind of a tilted

  633. tilted

  634. uh

  635. auditorium.

  636. Sitting up in the back, and the guy

  637. leans over the the guest turned leans

  638. over to the guy from our church and

  639. said,

  640. "Somebody's got their hand on me. Who

  641. who is that?" He looked over. He said,

  642. "There's nobody there." He said, "Yeah,

  643. there is. Somebody's got their hand on

  644. my on my back. Somebody's got their hand

  645. on me. I can tell it's hot. I can feel

  646. it. There's somebody's got their hand on

  647. me."

  648. Said and he said, "I'll talk to you

  649. later."

  650. And they left the service and then went

  651. back finished the the job and the guy

  652. went back to wherever it was on the East

  653. Coast and called his friend here in

  654. Tulsa and said, "Just thought I'd let

  655. you know all the symptoms are gone, all

  656. the pain's gone, everything else is

  657. gone. Whatever took place that morning,

  658. it I I got an instant healing in my

  659. body." And of course, the guy from the

  660. church said, "Well, I'll now I'll tell

  661. you what it was." And it was an angel

  662. that had come in. Well, we need to get

  663. ready for that.

  664. We can go on and on. There was a I'll

  665. give you another another case and we'll

  666. we'll finish up another time.

  667. But, um

  668. um

  669. >> [clears throat]

  670. >> There's a

  671. a church in Colorado

  672. where I worked a number of years ago.

  673. Now, I was a youth pastor of all things.

  674. And uh

  675. uh

  676. we pastored Jan and I we'd gotten

  677. married. We're traveling full-time on

  678. the road. And um we're going into We'd

  679. been to another meeting. I think at

  680. Pastor Sam Carson's if I recall right.

  681. His it was around 4th of July. We went

  682. to this meeting at his church and then

  683. we're going to finish up and then we're

  684. going to fly uh to uh Denver and then go

  685. to this church in Colorado and pick up

  686. on that meeting and go three or four

  687. days there.

  688. Well, we're down there and somebody

  689. said, "Man, you should have been here

  690. yesterday." Don't you just love it when

  691. people do that?

  692. Jesus came walking in, walked through

  693. the wall, and asked for it. You have

  694. been. No.

  695. Somebody said, "You should have been

  696. here yesterday." Said, "Why?" Said,

  697. "Well,

  698. um we had so-and-so." Named a particular

  699. minister. Uh in fact, if I recall, I

  700. think it was Ed Dufresne.

  701. You know, we used to laugh about it cuz

  702. he he'd get up in the pulpit and he'd

  703. say, "Wild Eddie's back." And I thought

  704. he'd lived that out. He

  705. would he'd get up and flow with the Holy

  706. Ghost, have miracles, amazing things

  707. took place. But he said he uh

  708. the people told him said there was Ed,

  709. if I recall, right? And said he was on

  710. the platform. They had a big like a

  711. grand piano up on the platform. And he

  712. was there and um

  713. said he just got up and he said uh I

  714. don't know what's needed, but he said

  715. there's somebody here that needs a new

  716. heart.

  717. Somebody you you don't need just a

  718. healing, you need a new heart. Whoever

  719. you are, come down here.

  720. And a few people came to the front and

  721. this one gentleman, I I don't know, I'm

  722. guessing maybe maybe in his 60s at the

  723. most, came down there and he said,

  724. "That's me. I need a new heart." And he

  725. said, "Well, you're the one I'm looking

  726. for because he said, 'When I called you

  727. down here,' he said, 'there's been an

  728. angel standing behind the piano back

  729. there all through the service holding a

  730. brand new heart for somebody.' He He's

  731. bring He brought a heart from heaven.

  732. There's a brand new heart for somebody

  733. and that's you. You're going to get a

  734. brand new heart today." Guy says, "Well,

  735. I need it cuz they've told me I'm not

  736. going to live long." In fact, he said,

  737. "My brother died." And I I knew his

  738. brother. He said, "My brother died a

  739. year or two ago and he said I was coming

  740. out to this meeting. I was going to go

  741. by, you know, where his the tombstone

  742. the the gravestone was. Go by and just

  743. say, you know, I'll be with you soon.

  744. They're telling me I'm not going to last

  745. long. So I I thought I'd come out here

  746. and get one more trip to Colorado and

  747. then I I just thought I'd let you know

  748. I'm going to be in heaven soon. I'll be

  749. with you."

  750. And he said, "I came to tell him that."

  751. And he said, "But," he said, "when when

  752. he went to that service, he went back to

  753. the hotel." he said he'd grab a suitcase

  754. and take it one step at a time.

  755. Another step at a time. Another step

  756. could barely get up the steps to the

  757. hotel room. He said, "I got back to the

  758. hotel." And he said, "All of a sudden I

  759. realized the power of God came on me and

  760. I ran all the way to the top and I ran

  761. all the way to the bottom and I ran all

  762. the way to the top and ran all the way

  763. to the bottom." He said, "Then I got my

  764. wife and we got in the car, we went out

  765. to the graveyard and I went to where my

  766. brother's gravestone was and said,

  767. 'Well, buddy,

  768. just thought I'd let you know you're

  769. going to have to wait a while cuz God

  770. healed me. I got a new heart. I'm not

  771. going to be coming to see you for quite

  772. a while now. I got a lot more to do

  773. here. Got a brand new heart.' But he

  774. said it was an angel that brought that

  775. to Angels aren't healers, they're

  776. messengers. An angel brought that.

  777. I know another one like that. I won't go

  778. into it now. Another One case just like

  779. that took place in northern part of

  780. Canada.

  781. Somebody needed a new heart. They didn't

  782. just need a

  783. a healing, they needed a replacement.

  784. Got a heart. It went It went across the

  785. country in the tabloid magazines. Person

  786. gets new heart. They said by the next

  787. night folks were coming from all over

  788. the country with crystals and and I mean

  789. everything you can think of to come in

  790. cuz if people wanted new hearts, they

  791. thought if they'd get in there they'd

  792. get a new heart. This guy came in, this

  793. lady I believe it was, got a a brand new

  794. heart. Well, what it was there was an

  795. angel that was standing over there on

  796. the side of the room, stood through the

  797. whole service holding a heart for

  798. somebody, delivered it and that person

  799. got an instant instant miracle.

  800. We could go on and on, but I'm telling

  801. you there is a there's a ministry of

  802. angels.

  803. Okay? They're not doing the miracles,

  804. they're messengers.

  805. They're down here to do the work. Jesus

  806. is the healer, he's the miracle worker,

  807. but he's got to have some cooperation

  808. down here and if he could just find some

  809. believers that say, "I think I'll get in

  810. the middle of that. I think I'll get my

  811. words lined up with God's words and

  812. we're going going some miracles down

  813. here. I've got a I got a knowing in my

  814. knower.

  815. I don't have all the answers.

  816. Fact, sometimes I'm not sure I got many

  817. of them.

  818. But I tell you the ones I do have, I'm

  819. pretty persuaded of and I'm I'm very

  820. convinced very convinced we're about to

  821. see some real demonstrations whether we

  822. see it with our eyes, whether we hear it

  823. with our ears, we're about to see some

  824. demonstrations of angels coming in and

  825. working with the head of the church, the

  826. Lord Jesus to deliver what he bought and

  827. paid for. And we're going to see people

  828. getting amazing miracles. Like I said a

  829. few minutes ago, the lady that had the

  830. internally.

  831. I mean, everything was replaced. Was an

  832. angel in on that? I don't know.

  833. I don't have any idea.

  834. I've got a I've got a a number of other

  835. cases of things like that that I've

  836. seen, watched, or known about over the

  837. years. We're going to get on

  838. in on a bunch of that.

  839. God's in the miracle business.

  840. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Well, now I

  841. know that's not quite a a Mother's Day

  842. message, but

  843. moms, you can get in on it, too.

  844. My grandmothers prayed for me.

  845. I know my mom prayed for me, bless her

  846. heart. She got gray hair just trying to

  847. keep up with me.

  848. And I'm not going to say another word

  849. about that. But anyway, anyway,

  850. let's all just bow our heads.

  851. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray

  852. over this house. Father, there's a

  853. stirring in my heart

  854. that what you raised us up for is still

  855. going to come to pass. Thank you, dear

  856. Lord. Thank you. We're a we're kind of a

  857. splinter group in the body. We we've got

  858. a particular facet, we've got a

  859. wheelhouse,

  860. a lane that we're to run in and we're

  861. going to do our job.

  862. We at WOC, we're do we're doing our job

  863. in what you want done. And so, I pray

  864. over this house right now. And I thank

  865. you. You're going to be sending people

  866. in from north, south, east, and west.

  867. You're going to keep sending more and

  868. more people. There's an influx of

  869. younger folks that are coming in.

  870. There's an influx of high school and and

  871. young adults that are coming in.

  872. And at the same time

  873. uh the the other generations, we're

  874. we're a a multi-generational church. It

  875. takes It takes the leadership of the

  876. older, and it takes the energy of the

  877. newer, and we're going to bring in what

  878. we've got to produce what you want. And

  879. so, Father, I think
