Wherefore God hath highly exalted him

and given him a name above every name.

shall bow. Things in heaven, things in

earth, things under the earth, and every

tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord to

the glory of God the Father. We got a

That's our name. I got a name.

Thank God for the name.

Father, we're grateful. We're so

grateful to be in your church [music] in

the kingdom of God, the body of Christ.

Thank you, Father. We know beyond the

shadow of a doubt, greater [music] is he

that's in us than he that's in the

world. What? know you not that you're

the temple of God and the spirit of God

dwells on the inside [music] of you.

Father, thank you for the great knowing

in the church. We know we know whom we

have believed and we're persuaded he's

able to keep that which we've committed

unto him against that day. Whatever

comes along, we got a name. We got a

name. We've got a name. Sickness has a

name. Disease has a name. We got a

greater name.

Hallelujah.

Glory to God.

Hallelujah. [music]

Hallelujah.

And there's a wave of there's a wave of

that presence in here now. It's been

moving since the service started. Thank

you. A wave of miracles, a wave of

healings, a wave, a wave of the divine

order of almighty God. So in the name of

Jesus, in the name of Jesus, we take

authority right now in this house. We

take authority over sickness, disease,

infirmity. We take authority over lung

problems. We take authority over um

oh so many things. Goodness, goodness,

goodness. Thank you, dear father.

Hallelujah. Thank you in the respiratory

[music]

area. Thank you, dear father. In the

circulatory system, in the nervous

system, Father, thank you. Thank you.

There's a wave of divine healing

sweeping through the place in Jesus'

name. Backs being healed,

joints being healed, arthritis

dissolving and disappearing. Thank you

for it, dear father. There's a wave of

divine healing, divine health,

divine results in Jesus name. And we

take hold of that and we speak that out

over this house. Even those watching

online,

we got a name greater than any other

name. And we uh we appropriate that name

even right now in the name of Jesus, the

name above every name. And we thank you

for it. We thank you for it. We thank

you for it. You said in your word, he

that believes has he that believes has

everlasting life. He that believes has

healing in their body. He that believes

has deliverance from poverty. He that

believes has If we believe it, we got

it. So we got it. We've got it. It's

ours in the name of Jesus. Jesus bought

and paid for it and we took it.

Hallelujah. We thank you in Jesus' name,

Father. And we thank you, Father, for

the remainder of the service today.

Thank you for doing all you want to do.

Thank you, Father, for what you are

doing.

We don't say that just as a cliche, but

something is happening.

>> We know that, Father. We don't know

beyond that, and that's okay. We'll see

it. We'll know it. Something is

happening. Something in the church

world. Yes. in this city. Yes. But even

closer, something's happening in this

house.

>> You're getting us ready for what you're

getting ready for us. And we thank you

for it in Jesus name, Father.

Hallelujah. Amen.

>> Amen. Amen. Amen. Well, one more time,

let's lift our hands and give him

thanks. Thank you, Lord. Thank you,

Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.

[music]

Thank you, Lord.

>> [music]

>> Hallelujah.

Glory. Glory. Glory. Praise God.

Hallelujah. Can I think of Glory? Well,

you may be seated. Thank you. Appreciate

our appreciate our worship team.

Our worship leaders.

I'm so glad they don't just entertain,

they lead.

>> Hallelujah. Glory to God. Hallelujah.

You know, I know I've used this phrase

before, but it it's good to good enough

to be repeated. You ever get to where

you just know some things in your

knower?

>> That's just how things work. You know,

greater is he that's in me than he

that's in the world. Okay? We know from

uh Romans 8:14,

Romans 8:14

as many as are led by the spirit of God,

they are the sons of God. Once we're

born again, the Holy Ghost moves on the

inside. Greater is he that's in us than

he that's in the world. And so some, you

know, instead of somebody having to tell

us from the outside, what we really get

to know is what we know on the inside.

And that that pertains that's not just

church. That's every that's life. And uh

um you know, I won't go any further

because I really don't know where I'd go

if I did. But uh I've got I've got some

things actually started about 20 minutes

ago. I got some things rolling on the

inside. There's a knowing and my knower.

Hallelujah. We'll see as we go along.

We'll watch what it is. But God's

getting us ready for what he's getting

ready for us.

>> You know, the head can't get anything

done without a body.

>> Just the way it works. But he's got a

body. He's got a He's got a number of

people in this house. Now, I can't speak

for anybody else. I don't go there. But

I I can speak for this place that God's

got a he's got a lot of um busy, active,

ready to go people in this house. And uh

really that's all he needs, you know,

doesn't need great uh ability, just

needs great availability.

>> And he's got that.

>> Anybody that's in that, just raise one

hand, say, "I'm available.

>> I'm available."

>> You just committed yourself.

>> God God's got that written down up

there. So anyway, anyway, this is this

is a great interesting morning. Okay.

There's just uh there's a lot of things

happening right now. Um

you know, I've told people before I'm a

just by I I don't know if it's nature,

personality, call, I don't know what it

is, but I'm I'm personally I'm just not

a real good maintainer.

I maintain just so long and then I I I

have this thing where I kind of get

bored and uh I [laughter] heard that

somebody said, "Uh oh." So, so, uh, but,

um, you know, sometimes you just have to

ride along with things until things

begin to change. And, um, um, you know,

there's just there's something in the

works right now. And I like what it is.

It's a there's a a stirring on the

inside and it'll show up on the outside.

Something on the inside working on the

outside. Oh, what a change in our

church. Hallelujah.

So, so, um, we've got a lot of

directions we could and should go, but

you know, uh, some things just take a

little more time than, uh, than we've

got. And so, that's why we've got from

now till the rapture of the church.

Okay? So, we've got all that time. And

when the rapture takes place, uh, you

can stay if you want, but I plan to

check out of here and, uh, go. First

load, [snorts]

>> second car, first load.

First car is the dead and Christ rise

first.

>> [laughter]

>> I'm taking second car, first load.

Anyway,

anyway, good to see everyone this

morning. There is a when we got we

walked in here, Pastor Jan and I were

out over in the front and I thought,

dear Lord, there's a shout in the house.

There's just there's just there's just

something going something's happening.

>> Yeah. as far as I'm concerned, it's

happening for us, to us, in us, through

us, and conferred upon us, as the

amplified says. So anyway, um I'm going

to go back through and just read a verse

to start with out of Habach chapter 2,

verse two. It's one probably we're all

familiar with to some degree

where it says, "And the Lord answered me

and said, write the vision, make it

plain upon tables,

>> "That he may run that reads it." See,

when we get it, it's not time to sit

down and go, "Well, we'll just see if

that happens." No, that he may run that

readeth that for the vision is yet for

an appointed time. I think that's where

maybe a lot of us have had a little bit

of discomfort over the decades, you

know, because well, I got this great

vision and I've been praying and

believing God and doing everything I

know to do and etc etc all that. Anyway,

he says uh for the vision is yet for an

it's for an appointed time. Okay. And uh

it just some things just take time. You

you can have some beginnings. You can

have some momentum, but the vision

itself is for an appointed time, but at

the end it shall speak and not lie.

Isn't it interesting? God knew enough to

say it'll take it. It's not going to

start happening till toward the end.

There's some things for the church world

that aren't going to happen until we get

close to the end. And you can't get a

lot closer to the end than we are right

now.

You know, I mean, we we've got uh an we

have an armada.

Isn't that what the pre the president

called it? An armada of of uh of um uh

ships and carriers and they're all and

they're all headed over toward amazing.

They're headed they're all headed over

toward uh Iran, toward the Middle East.

I don't know about you, I like that. I I

kind of like the deal. I like I like

having a I love now you can you can

think whatever you want, believe

whatever you want, say whatever you

want, but if you start praying for the

president, you'll say nice things.

>> And if you're not saying nice things

because you're not praying,

>> well, I don't think he's right all the

time. Well, are you?

>> Just a joke. Anyway,

anyway, there's so many things going on

right now that uh you know they and and

you know we're America's right in the

middle of all these things. They may be

thousands of miles away, but you know,

this all kind of reflects back on us.

And I just like the fact that he says at

the end it's going to speak. Yeah,

>> we're close to the end when we start

seeing all these carriers and

battleships and all this heading over

toward heading over toward the Middle

East. Uh that's kind of be it's kind of

the focal point of everything toward the

end and all you know all of our forces

are heading that direction or a lot of

them I should say. Uh what a time to be

alive and well.

>> Alive and well anyway.

But at the end it shall speak and not

lie though it tight for it. Oh, we're so

good at waiting.

>> [laughter and gasps]

>> though it terry. Wait for it because it

will surely come. It will not terry.

There are things it just takes time to

get them there. You know, I'm so glad

God's been working on this for 6,000

years and it's just taken some time to

get things. Why? Because he's had to

work through humans.

>> Yeah.

>> Not that anybody in here would qualify

for that, but but um you know uh where

we are right now, what an amazing time.

What an amazing time. I I don't do a lot

of watching the news because what was it

Smith Wigglesworth told Lester Summerall

one time he said had a newspaper under

his arm. He said don't bring that thing

in my house. He said why not? He said

why read half truth when you got the

whole truth. Bring your Bible and come

in. So he had to throw his newspaper in

the bushes and bring his Bible and go on

the inside. Well, we're kind of at the

same place and I don't mean that in a

critical way, but the news is the news.

their their job is to say whatever they

want to say and sell papers and or news

or whatever they do doesn't mean it's

all true doesn't mean we're getting

truth because we have a Bible we have

truth and we've got the Holy Ghost on

the inside of us that he knows all the

truth and he and you know a lot of

things he just doesn't tell us all of it

he kind of lets us know on a need to

know basis and sometimes what you need

to know and what you do know are two

different things but anyway moving along

here

says um uh you know the vision's for an

appointed time. It will not terry it

will come. And he said it's for the end.

Well, I'd say we're about as close to

the end of the church age as we're going

to get. We're we're really close. We

know the return of Jesus is out here,

but the le church is leaving seven years

earlier. So, you know, there's just a

lot going on right now. And uh what a

day to be alive. It's not a day to be

afraid. My goodness, if if you're afraid

of it, you need to go back and read your

Bible. And if you can't watch the news

without being afraid, then shut your TV

off and go back to your Bible. That's

all truth. So, uh, so anyway, um, in

going back through that, it's it's

vital. Uh, vision is so important.

Vision is supernatural insight into

where we're going. And vision is so

vision's important for the church world.

Vision is important for the body of

Christ. Vision is important for the

local church. And with that being the

case, um, goodness, we mentioned it

earlier when God began to we, Pastor

Janet and I married 1979.

>> Pardon me?

Feb when

checking to see if she remembers.

Anyway,

and I'm coming over here for a little

while.

I was going somewhere and I I I got

myself confused. Anyway, um I was going

somewhere right then. So,

uh anyway, we we were married in in 79

and uh we um began traveling within just

a few weeks time. We traveled, you know,

all over the United States. By the end

of that year, we took our first trip to

the nations and and uh began traveling

all we traveled for about 19 years to

the nations of the world. I I have no

idea how many trips it was. I think I

think about 250 something like that. I I

don't know. Um all I know is last I

checked we have like 5.2 uh million

miles on just on one airline alone. Tell

them they should have we should have our

own seats embroidered with our names,

but we don't. Anyway,

so um and then God be to uh we pray. You

know when you pray it's amazing what you

pick up. you know, you can just move

along through life and have a good time,

but you begin to pray, you're going to

pick up eternity. And so, we begin to

pray and we had a there's a group of us

that uh a number of names you'd

recognize if you heard. We traveled the

nations of the world and um uh we went

to the Philippines, we went to

throughout uh Europe, we went to um uh

on and on to

South America, I believe it was. Anyway,

went all over. And and uh as we did

that, all of a sudden we'd begin praying

and um oh goodness, praying all of a

sudden it'd be like um when I say you'd

see something. I don't mean like open

vision angels appearing. Sometimes you

just get a glimpse of something in the

future. Okay? And you can you can

interpret it, you can misinterpret it.

So you know so you don't take that and

change your life about that. But you

take that and you just begin to keep

rolling that and see if it keeps coming

back up or if it was just the pizza you

had, you know, the day before. Just have

to see. But anyway, we begin to just get

glimpses of um a church. And we'd finish

praying and I'd make the statement to

there were like five or six of us. I'd

make the statement. I'd say, "Keep

running. I across something. It it uh it

looks like a church." And I keep saying,

"Lord, if I didn't know better, I'd

think that was a church that's kind of

that we keep running into when we pray."

and and uh you know, we'd talk about it.

We had were convinced that one of the

other people in that group was going to

be the one we're going to start a church

and one of them was going to pastor it

because I kept saying, "It's sure not

me, okay? I I'm I am an itinerant. I am

a born itinerant. I was born with a

steering wheel in my hand. I tell you

what, I'm I'm So anyway,

to speed my way through this, um, we

just, you know, we we we kept praying

about this, praying about it until all

of a sudden we knew that we knew that

what God was dealing with us to do was

to plant a local church. And I said,

Lord, I I prayed I've tried to pray my

way out of that. that I said, "Lord, I

don't understand what this could be

because I don't know how you go to the

nations for 19 years and then come back

and take a local church in a local

city." And we really knew that Tulsa was

the city. And I I said, "Lord, I don't

know how you do I don't know. I don't

know how you do that." And and and do

both. Go to the nations of the world and

also have a local church in the city. I

I don't understand. That doesn't make

any sense to me. And um but but I said,

'Lord, that does just it does not go

away. The more we pray, the bigger it

gets on the inside. This was uh this

would have been uh 1990,

it would have been rough roughly 1997, I

believe. And this this went on for off

and on for like a year and a half,

something like that. Uh I don't believe

in getting in a hurry, okay? I'm the I

am the turtle on muscle relaxers. Okay.

So, anyway,

to to speed this up, we kept getting

closer and closer, we found a place to

meet. We we found East Central High

School.

There you go.

What a spot. Uh and we live to tell.

But, uh it was just a a number of weeks

before we're going to start the first

Sunday in in August. And I kept

thinking, I just don't know. I won't go

into why, but there was a lot of reasons

why I just didn't know if this was going

to work or not. Um, a lot of things were

happening. Um, well, anyway, uh, just

didn't know for sure. And so, Pastor

Janet and I, this was before either one

of us was called pastor, we we were

doing a meeting uh, in the Houston,

Texas area, and we had an afternoon off,

and we said uh, we'd been to Brother

Ostein's church, Lakewood Church. Uh,

he'd built a beautiful new building, I

think maybe 8,000 seats. I'm not real

sure what it was at that time. Uh this

is when he was still the pastor. Uh this

was before Joel Ostein came along. He

was there, but he was kind of doing the

TV work, I think, if I remember right.

Well, so we uh we said, "Let's drive

over there and just I just want to see

the building." You know, we we knew

Brother Ostein from the fact that both

of us had worked for Brother Hagen at

one time or another. Brother Hagen, I

was very close to Brother Ostein and

we'd go do meetings down with him. We'd

sometimes run his product table, run his

prayer lines and whatever. And um

actually from 197 January 1975 on, we

would I was able to be in brother

Ostein's church at different times with

brother Hagen. And just that's where

that's where people say, "Where'd you

get your where'd you get your call to

the nations?" I I kept saying, "I don't

know. I don't know." And then one day I

thought, "I do know. I got it from being

in Brother Ostein's church for a week."

Nations is such a tangible thing. being

in there for a week. When I came out, I

was not the same person. It's a tangible

something that got on the inside of me

and it's never gone away. That's a few

years ago. So, we uh we said, "Well,

we're going to drive over there. We'll

go to Brother Ostein's and just see if

we can just walk around the campus,

maybe go in the front door, take a look

at it, whatever. Don't want to bother

anybody. We just want to go take a

look." So, we went over there and uh you

know, we we went to the church and uh

whoever we talked to said, "Uh, oh,

we'll have a man that'll that will um

give you a tour of the campus." We said,

"Well, yeah, that's great if if you have

somebody that can do that." Here was

this taller, stately, older gentleman.

Older's relative.

Yes, it is. And and um so we said, you

know, and she said, "He'll he'll he'll

walk you around the campus, show you the

campus." And so he came and showed up.

He's going to show us inside the

auditorium and all that. And and just

the kindest, amazing gentleman. We

finally said, "Uh, do you know brother,

brother Olstein?" He said, "Yeah, yeah."

Said, "You know, how long have you known

him?" "Oh, a long time. Where did you

meet him?" said, "I'm the one that got

him saved.

I'm wherever you're going, I'm following

you." What? So, so he showed us around

and of course about that time his his

radio goes off and he said, "Brother

Ostein's on his way in. He heard you two

were at the at the church and he was

home. He wanted to come here and see

you. I said, "Are you sure? This is

Brother Ostein we're talking about." I

was I wasn't sure that he really knew

us. I didn't know. So anyway, he said,

"Yeah, he's on his way in." So he came

in. We went upstairs to his office and

uh he began he was just the kindest

probably one of the probably one of the

greatest men I've ever met in the gospel

and every other way. He just carried

something about him. carried the world

on the inside of him for one thing. And

uh he uh

so we're sitting there and and he you

know he's just he's just friendly

talking with us and I thought I can't

stand it anymore. I knew he'd been uh

frontier evangelist. I knew he'd done

frontier evangelism. I knew he'd been in

the Philippine Islands. I knew he was

somewhere in Asia when the Holy Ghost

spoke to him and said, "Go back to

Houston and take Lakewood Baptist

Church. Become the pastor. It's

available. you become the pastor of

that? Now, I knew that much just I'd

heard that. And so I said, "R brother, I

want to can I ask you a question." He

said, "Sure, go ahead." And I said, "How

long did you travel the nations of the

world before you came back here and

became pastor of Lakewood Baptist

Church?" He said, "Well, let's see. It

was" and he starts counting and all of a

sudden he stopped. He said, "Why?

Got something on your heart?" And I

said, "Well, I don't know for sure." We

were just weeks away from our first

service and I thought I don't know

whether to have a service or to pack up

and leave town and just not come back

for a couple of years. I don't know what

to do. And he said, "You got something

in your heart?" And I said, "Well, uh,

maybe." You know, didn't want to commit

myself right then. So, Pastor Janet and

I were sitting there in his office. He

said, "What is it?" I said, "Well, um,

maybe a a church." And I thought, "If I

can even say if I can verbalize that,

it's a big start." Said, "Maybe maybe

maybe a church." And uh so he asked us a

couple questions and he said uh well he

said now I'll say this I don't know I

don't know if God's telling you to start

a church or not. He said that's your

department. You got to figure that one

out. I thought you are no help at all.

You [laughter] know you could you give

us a word something. He said I don't

know but he said but I will I will say

one thing. You know sometimes somebody

can make a statement that'll change your

life. And when it comes from somebody

like that that's walked the walk talked

the talk lived the life. He said, 'I I I

I can't say if it's right or wrong.

That's your department. You're because

whatever you do, you're going to have to

live with it. Okay? Whether it's good,

whether it's wrong, whether it's right,

you got to live with it. He said, but I

will say this sometimes,

well, honestly, he said, you'll never,

you know, you're wondering what can this

work? How will this work? Said you'll

never touch the world without a power

base. That's what I'm trying to get to.

I want to just cover a few things today.

We'll have to we'll pick up another time

and cover more of this. But he just sat

there quietly said, "You'll never touch

the world." See, my question was, "How

can we continue to touch the world if we

if we have start a church in Tulsa,

Oklahoma? How can we do that?" And he

makes this statement. He says, "You'll

never never touch the world without a

power base." And I thought, "Yeah, he's

been to the nations of the world, came

back, took this little church with about

200 people, stayed in there for years,

and it began to grow and multiply, and

now we're in his church of about 8,000

seats, and they can't get all the people

in." something happened.

>> He said, "You'll never touch the world

without a power base." And I will say

this, he said, "Sometimes God will send

you to the He's just not going to leave

me alone.

Sometimes God will send you to the

nations so he can bring you back home

where you can touch the whole world." He

said, "That's what he did with me." He

said, "I touch the whole world every

week." He said, "I send back that's the

days of, you know, videotapes and all

that." He said, "I touch the world every

Sunday." He said, "I go all over. I

don't know how many nations I'm in. I

don't know how many cities I'm in. I

don't know how many places I'm in. All I

know is I preach it here and they take

it and send it all over the world. I

preach in here and I touch the nations

of the world. He said, I get to I get to

touch the whole world from one place and

I can still go anytime, any place I need

to go and any place I want to go. I can

I can still go anywhere. I still have

the ability to do that.

I thought, okay, solved. So, we he

prayed with us. uh really told us we

could within a few weeks time just

before we I think we just started the

church. He said uh come back down some

Sunday afternoon, come for the evening

service. He said, "I'll I'll pray for

you here." We said, "That'd be good. We

needed somebody just pray for us and

needed some help." So we did. We went

after service, flew down to Houston,

went to the church, and uh we thought he

was just going to call us up, you know,

back to his office afterward. Middle of

a service, he said, "Mark and Janet, I

see you out there. Come up to the front.

I need to pray for you two. Church full

of people." thought, "Boy, there's no

nothing like, you know, going public

with we're going to start a church."

But he called us up, had us get down on

our knees, laid his hands on us, and

prayed for us. Holy Ghost came on us.

God imparted something into our lives

that changed us forever. So anyway,

anyway, we got our vision by sitting in

John Ostein's office. Basically, he

said, "You'll never touch the world

without a power base." My question after

that was, Lord, what's a power base?

What's the power base? I've never been

actively in a church. The minute I got

my life right with God, I went to a

couple churches for a short time.

Brother Hagen started Rama. I got a

couple suitcases, flew out here, began

to work for him, and stayed on the road

with him for at that time for a few

years. So, I said, "Lord, I've never

been around what you'd call a a power

base. I don't even know what that is.

You're going to have to give us some

instruction for that." Well, you know,

you have not because you

>> ask not. ask and you shall receive that

your joy may be full. So, we're praying

about this and if you want to look at it

now, we'll just take a few minutes and

we're going to look over at the 13th

chapter of the book of Acts.

I said, Lord, I said, Lord, we've been

to

I have no idea how many churches we've

been to. We've been to churches all over

the world. We've been to churches all

over Europe. We've been to churches all

over Central uh South America. We've

been to churches in Asia. We've been to

churches in Australia. Lord, I said,

Lord, we've been everywhere. And I said,

I don't mean this wrong, but if you

said, pick a church out that you feel

like that's what it's if you're going to

start a church, this is what it's

supposed to look like. I said, Lord, if

you told me to do that, I'd be in

trouble because I cannot take I can't

think of a church right now that I would

say this is what I feel like it's

supposed to look like. Not that one's

good, one's bad, one's ugly. It's not

like that. It's just I I have not seen

one that looked like anything like it

registered on the inside. So I said,

"Lord, if we're going to start

something, I I need to know what the

vision is. What's this supposed to look

like?" Well, we did really nothing more

than just say, "Lord, what is this

supposed to look like?" And the Holy

Ghost took us to Acts the 13th chapter

and gave us the the vision. This is the

church that changed the world. Okay? And

I'll I'll back up a little bit with

this. If you go back through there,

Jesus had given instructions to his

disciples. We know the 14 24th chapter

of Matthew's gospel, verse 14, um the

disciples said, you know, Lord, when

shall these things come to pass? What

will be the signs of your coming and of

the end of the world? That's first part

of 24th chapter of Matthew. And then

verse 14, Jesus said, and

and he gave him an absolute and this

gospel of the kingdom shall be preached.

shall you don't get much better than

that. This gospel of the kingdom shall

be preached in all the world for a

witness to every nation. They said,

"Lord, what's going to be the sign of

your coming and of the end of the age?"

Okay, you asked, you get it? This gospel

of the kingdom, not another one, not

part of one, not just twothirds of a

gospel, not the part you like,

not the powerless one. This gospel of

the kingdom shall be preached in all the

world for witness to

>> every nation.

every nation. Every nation. He gave him

instructions. This gospel of the kingdom

shall be preached in all the world for

witness to every nation. Then the end is

going to come. Well, that's pretty

plain. He said, "This gospel, every

nation." Okay. Well, then you go over to

Mark 16:15. Jesus talking to his

Mark 16:15

disciples. He said, "Go into all the

world. Go into all the world. Preach the

gospel to every creature." He didn't he

didn't delete anybody. The good, the

bad, the ugly, doesn't matter. Go into

all the world, preach the gospel to

every creature. He that believes and is

baptized shall be saved. He that

believes not shall be damned, and these

signs shall follow them that believe. In

my name, they'll cast out devils.

They'll speak with new tongues. And we

know the the the whole thing there. But

notice he said, "Go into all the world,

preach the gospel to every creature."

So, we got Matthew 24:14. We got Markap

Matthew 24:14

16:15. Then you got Acts chapter 1 vers8

Acts 1 · chapter mention

when the disciples were talking to Jesus

about when you coming back. And he said,

"It's not for you to know the times, but

Acts 1:8, but you shall receive power

Acts 1:8

after the Holy Ghost has come upon you,

and you shall be witnesses unto me to

every Jew you can find." Is that what he

said?

>> No. No. He said he said uh he said acts

Acts 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1 vers8 uh this gospel talked

about this you when you when you coming

back what can we know he said he said uh

talk to his disciples and he said this

gospel this gospel this gospel this

gospel all the world every nation every

tongue every kindred every tribe isn't

that what he said Acts chapter 1 vers8

Acts 1 · chapter mention

go into all the world every creature

every okay so he's giving given him the

end result on that. Acts chapter 1:8

this gospel of the kingdom shall be

preached all the world witness to every

nation then the end's going to come. You

can't get much plainer. So we got

Matthew 24 we got Mark 16 we got Acts

Acts 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1 and that's just a few. Jesus

for his really three and a half years of

earthly ministry, he kept telling his

disciples, "Every nation, all the world,

every creature,

every creature, not just every Jewish

creature, every creature, every

creature." Isn't that what he said? So,

they've got their instructions and then

he leaves.

He's given them their directions. Cloud

receives him up out of their sight and

they're standing there gazing up into

heaven. And the angel said, "Why stand

you gazing up into heaven?" this same

Jesus is coming back in the same manner

is leaving in go get busy.

>> Yeah.

>> So they got busy and so for the next six

years they went everywhere. He said he

said um talked about Jerusalem, Judea,

Samaria and the uttermost parts of the

world. Man, they nailed it in Jerusalem.

They didn't go anywhere else. And six

years later,

six years later, Stephen was stoned. He

had so he had so many miracles they took

him out and stoned him. I want miracles.

I don't know if I want that many, you

know, but

but anyway. Anyway, and so the disciples

were because of the persecution, they're

spreading out. Isn't it interesting?

They spread, you can read Acts chapter

uh chapter 8 verse one, first couple

verses. And they went to Judea and they

went to Jerusalem. And I thought that's

where he told them to go to start with.

Acts 18. Okay. You'll receive power

after the Holy Ghost has come upon you

and you'll be witnesses unto me both in

Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and the

uttermost parts of the world. They got

as far as Jerusalem got stuck.

And so now Stephen gets stoned. They

decided I think we'll move.

So they went out uh you know they they

they got busy out there went to Judea

Samaria. That's where he told them to

go. They didn't go by choice. They went

by out of persecution.

And and if short course on this, if you

read that's six years after the

resurrection for six years, they didn't

take it anywhere other than Jerusalem

and and the Jewish nation. They just

didn't get it. Like somebody said, they

were looking at the gospel through

religious colored glasses. They just

didn't get it. Okay? And really, Acts

Acts 8 · chapter mention

chapter 8 said they went to Jerusalem,

Judea, Samaria. They went everywhere

except the apostles.

You can read Acts chapter 8 verse 1 2

Acts 8:1

and 3. The apostles they were the only

one they didn't believe. They were the

ones he gave the instructions to. Now

I'm not going I'm not criticizing them.

I don't want to see them on the other

side and have them say you really you

really Anyway,

but they didn't go. It said they went

everywhere except the apostles. They

didn't go anywhere. So we see this and

to bring it down to the end for what

we've got for today, I'll finish it with

this. we uh

they wouldn't go anywhere. What what you

what you going to do? I mean, if you

know, if you if you hired somebody to

come paint your house and they painted

the front door knob

and they came back the next day and

painted painted the front door knob and

they came back the next week and painted

the front and you know, six months

later, you've got layers of paint on the

front door knob. Well, we painted it.

Yeah, but you you did the painting, but

you didn't paint what I told you to

paint. What do you think God's going to

do with that? He told us to go to every

nation, every tongue, every kindred,

every tribe. And they're stuck there in

Israel. And a couple of them headed out

to Jerusalem and Judea.

But they didn't go beyond that. What's

he going What's he going to do? Okay.

He's not going to he's not going to

start a new ministry gift. Apostle,

prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher,

and obedient.

Not going to start a new He's not going

to start a new ministry gift. Not going

to start a Not going to start a new

spiritual gift.

What's he going to do? How's he If this

gospel doesn't go to the nations of the

world, then the if it doesn't, then

redemption

is worthless.

>> If it doesn't go to the nations of the

world, then the job didn't get done.

This is not just for Jerusalem. It's not

just it's not just for the Jews. This is

every nation, every tongue, so on. But

they're not going. So what's he do? He

doesn't start a new ministry gift. He

doesn't start a new spiritual gift.

What's he do? He starts a new church.

There's only one way to fix this. The

church in Jerusalem wasn't doing their

job. Well, I know. Let me say this. They

weren't doing the job he gave them to do

concerning the nations of the world as

far as we can tell. All right? I don't

want to criticize them. I'm not don't

want to get on bad side. But they

weren't going anywhere with that. So,

all of a sudden, here goes some of these

guys that were running for their life.

They go to a few different cities and

and some of them went to a place called

Antioch.

They go to Antioch and they start

preaching. First thing it says they be

they start preaching to the Greeks.

Can you believe that? They're breaking

all the laws, the rules, the

regulations. They're they're they're

they're preaching to the Greeks and lots

of people got saved. They just hadn't

heard before. Nobody took time to take

the good news to them. Lots of people

got saved. You can find that in I

believe the 11th chapter of the book of

Acts. People start getting saved and so

they went Jerusalem heard about this. So

they send Barnabas. Okay. He goes over

there. He's a good man, full of faith,

full of the Holy Ghost. He's a great

guy. He's a loving guy. And he goes over

and he kind of takes over the work. Uh

they never called him pastor. I don't

know what he was called, but anyway, he

just took over the work. So he's over

there at this place called Antioch. Lots

of people getting saved. Lots of

non-Jewish people getting saved. lots of

Greek speakaking people getting saved.

Lots going on over there and and um

I love the fact that all of a sudden he

realizes he he can't do all this by

himself. So, isn't it interesting if you

read that you can find it for yourself?

He did not go back to Jerusalem to get

help.

>> Did he?

>> Some of you just looking at me. You can

read it. He didn't go back to Jerusalem

and say, "Man, I got to have some guy

send me some help." No. What'd he do? He

headed out and found a guy named Saul of

Tarsus. He found what who we would later

call the Apostle Paul. Why did he go

after Paul instead of after Jerusalem?

Why did he go after this guy out in the

middle of nowhere that's already been

famous for killing Christians? Why did

he go find him instead of going to

Jerusalem and just getting getting more

of the people that already knew what he

knew and believed what he believed and

they got the same DNA? Why did he go

after Paul?

Because this is going to be a different

kind of church, different different

course, a different direction, different

DNA. And he's got to find somebody. The

difference between Jerusalem at the

time, they knew the death, burial, and

resurrection of Jesus. But this guy

named Saul had been caught up to the

third heaven, heard things unlawful to

be uttered. He he had he didn't know as

much about the death, burial, and

resurrection. He just knew what took

place between the death and the

resurrection. He knew redemption. He

knew what took place in there between

times. He knew what happened those three

days. He saw what it was all like. And

the church needed redemption.

>> So he went to find a guy that knew

didn't just know the death, burial, and

resurrection. Just didn't know exactly

what the cross looked like. He went and

found the guy that had been to the third

heaven, found out what was going on and

knew the gospel, knew redemption,

brought him back, and they got together

and they taught the church there in

Antioch. They taught it for a year

straight.

Can you imagine sitting under Saul of

Tarsus, listening to him preach

redemption to you for a solid year?

>> That's when you want to take a good

notebook with you. Yeah,

>> he heard things unlawful to be uttered.

I don't know if he talked about that or

not, but he was teaching for he had Paul

and Barnabas and Saul. They're teaching

for a whole year.

Teaching for teaching redemption for and

you notice the next part of that, I

think it's the end of verse 11 said,

"And they were called.

>> What were they called there?

>> First place, they were called believers.

They were they were called a lot of

different names, but the first place

they were called Christians was in

>> Antioch. Christian means

>> Christlike because all of a sudden now

you got a bunch of people. They're not

just good folks. They're like Jesus.

They're they're they're

partakers of the gospel. They've been

sitting for a year learning the death,

burial, resurrection of Jesus. Learn

what he did for the three days when he

was we couldn't see him. His body was

buried. what happened before he was

raised from the dead. Those those three

days, where was he? What was he doing?

Paul knew that. That's why we have the

Pauline epistles cuz what he knew, what

he saw, what he learned. And so they're

they're learning all that. And let's

finish with this. Okay, we we can go for

hours on this, but anyway. Anyway, so

you've got this church in Antioch, got

Barnabas and Saul that I don't know what

they were. I don't know what their title

was. I don't know who was the leadership

of the church. I don't know. I've read

it hundreds of times. There's a lot I

don't know about yet. I'm going to learn

some one of these days if it's

available. But then here's the part I

want to finish up with. And then when

God really starts stirring us about a

vision for what he wants the church to

be like, um, I how you get it there, we

didn't know. How you get it there, we

still don't know. You got it not by

might, not by power, but

>> by the spirit of God. It's the only way

to do it is by the Holy Ghost. And you

got to be connected with him.

>> Gotta got to go with the flow. Got to

follow the inside. But anyway, let's

just go through this quickly. Some other

time we'll spend more time with it. But

if you go back to Acts 13:1, this is the

Acts 13:1

church at Antioch.

They've had a Bible school for a year.

That's what I call it. They got the

whole church, Barnabas and Paul, Saul.

They're they're they're

ministering for a solid year. Can you

imagine what those people must have

known? No wonder they changed the world.

>> But anyway, anyway, Acts 13:1 says, "Now

Acts 13:1

there were, now that we're in the what?

There's like four or five things we'll

just land on real quick and then another

time we'll pick up there." Acts 13:1

Acts 13:1

says, "Now there, you know, is was this

just a good Bible study? Was this a good

um missions outreach team?" No. Says,

"Now there were," you can read it. Sound

now there were now that we're in the

>> church.

>> The what?

>> Church.

>> The what?

>> Church.

>> There's a Before anything else, it was a

church. God's into churches. God's into

churches. Everything else is important.

Evangelism's important. Frontier

evangelism is important. Teaching

centers are important. Bible schools are

those things are all vitally important.

But before it was anything else, it was

a church. Now there were in the

>> church which was at Antioch. First thing

God wanted us to know is this is the

operation of this place will you know

I've had people used to say well what

you have working in your lives it won't

work in the local church I thought

you're reading the wrong verses because

now there were in the

>> church which was at Antioch certain now

notice it let's let's see what this

place looked like if we can see what the

church at Antioch looked like we'll know

really a lot parts of what God wants us

to look like now there were in the

church which was at Antioch certain

prophets and teachers So in this church

first and foremost it's a supernatural

place.

>> Take out the supernatural, you've just

lost the church. Now they were in the

church which was at Antioch. Certain

>> prophets and teachers, not dry, dull,

dead teachers like they had under the

law. These are Holy Ghost anointed

teachers. Now they were in the church

which was at Antioch. Certain prophets

and teachers.

Okay. And what are they doing back there

now? They're not running the place. It

just there's a it's a place they could

be comfortable. God began to deal with

us. Make sure your church has a place

where ministers can feel comfortable.

Okay? It doesn't mean you're going to

put them to work all the time. It means

they're going to be able to be

comfortable in a place like that. Maybe

be used maybe be used by the Holy Ghost.

But that's what that is the Antioch

church. He starts out first thing there

were in the church which was at Antioch

certain prophets and teachers such as

I'll give you well Barnabas and Saul and

Simeon and so on and Saul.

There are certain prophets and teachers.

Now we don't know was it the whole

church in there? I don't know. Were

there more ministry gifts in there? I

don't know. He just gave us the names of

those five such as Barnabas and Simeon

and Lucius ofSirene and and Manan who

had been a foster brother with Herod the

tark and so we've got a few names in

there said uh as they now notice here's

what we're looking for. You've got these

gifts in there but as they ministered to

the Lord

they didn't just sit in there have Bible

studies. They didn't minister to each

other. They didn't just run around

giving each other words. No, as they

ministered, what were these gifts doing?

They're ministering to the Lord. This is

a place. This the the the first function

we can see in the church at Antioch was

they ministered to the Lord. It was a

place. Minister means pray, praise,

worship, sing praises, linger in his

presence.

>> Ministering to the Lord means you

minister. Don't not even minister about

him or minister about you.

>> How bad it's been, how bad it's getting,

what are we going to do with all the bad

stuff. This is not about ministering to

us or for us or through us or about us.

They ministered to the Lord. As they

ministered to the Lord,

well, they're what do they're

ministering to him? What happens as they

ministered to the Lord? The Holy Ghost

said, what did they do? They set things

up where they could talk to God and he

could talk back to them.

>> A church that doesn't have space for God

to reply.

>> Something's wrong.

>> As they ministered to the Lord and

fasted, the Holy Ghost said,

>> "Man, it's a I love this. It's a church

where God can talk."

>> Yeah.

>> The Holy Ghost said, "Separate unto me."

It was a place of separation. God could

take the best gifts he's got and could

separate them and launch them to the

nations of the world. didn't get any

better than Barnabas and Saul. But it

said as as they ministered to the Lord

and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,

"Separate unto me Barnabas and Saul, for

the work room to He'd already called

them. He just needed the church to send

them. Churches ought to be sending

places.

>> It ought to be a place where people can

be launched into what they're called to

do."

Now, there's a lot more to it than that.

As they ministered to the Lord and

fasted, the Holy Ghost said, "Separate

unto me Barnabas and Saul for the worker

and to have called them." And when

they'd fasted and prayed, they laid

there. It ought to be a place for the

laying on of hands. The local church

ought to be a place where laying on of

hands is a doctrine of Christ.

>> Hebrews chapter 6, you find it in there.

Hebrews 6 · chapter mention

As they ministered to the to the Lord

and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, you

know, and and when they'd fasted and

prayed, they laid their hands on them.

Well, why' they do that? God's a God of

impartations.

Contact of hands transmits his virtue

into their beings. What are they doing?

They're passing something on. These guys

have got something to do. They need all

the help they can get. As they laid

their hands on him, as they fasted and

prayed, laid their hands on them, the uh

they and they launched them out. I've

got to find a place to quit here. And

they departed to solution and and went

out. And let's just finish it with this.

When they launched out of that place,

they had the church behind them. Church

sent them out. They've already prayed.

They've already fasted. They've already

spoke to them. All that. The only thing

I can think of to send them out was to

do it financially.

They got to have some money to go where

they're going to go. I don't know how

this all happened, but that they must

have been in a generous church.

>> Well, we're there.

>> This is a generous place.

>> Yes, it is. We'll touch the world over

the how however much time we got left.

As they ministered to the Lord and

fasted, the Holy Ghost said separate.

They did that and they launched him out

of there and they be and they being sent

forth by the Holy Ghost departed to

solution headed out there. Well,

I don't know. I've studied the best I

can and best I can tell is in the days

to come the Apostle Paul was responsible

for starting 20 churches and 20 nations.

You know, you can't do a lot better than

that. in 101 15 years started 20

churches. No internet, no FaceTime,

>> no Tik Tok. They He didn't have

anything. He didn't have anything except

the anointing of God.

>> Started started 20 churches. Wrote

letters. Start started the Pauline

epistles. Wrote letters to the churches.

Changed our lives. It's what we live in

today. Anyway, we got to get stopped

here. We could go on for hours, but

anyway, if you read the 13th chapter of

the book of Acts, the first three, four

chapters, you'll get a general idea of

what God wants us to look like. And I

will finish it with this phrase.

What was it all about? Separate Barnabas

and Saul. He didn't send everybody out,

just sent those two out. Separate

Barnabas and Saul for the work to I've

called them. When they fasted and

prayed, they laid their hands on him,

sent him forth. They being sent forth by

the Holy Ghost departed to solution.

some and in in the years to come they

started over 20 churches in difficult

regions beyond. Everything was about

planting churches.

Everything was about planting churches.

Everything was about It wasn't just

about having a nice local church. That's

great. Yeah, you need that. It wasn't

just about having a nice local church.

It was about planting churches in the

nations of the world. That's what the

call was all about. That's why God went

so far out of his way to make sure the

anointing of God got on them to equip

them to launch them out planting

churches.

I can't say a whole lot more about that

right now because I don't know a whole

lot more. But I do know one thing God

stirred in our hearts and back 1997

of the things that he stirred on the

inside of us with the day the day would

come when we'd be able to plant Antioch

churches in different regions of the

world. And I believe it. Somebody says,

"How you going to do it?" But I haven't

got that part.

I I I got the what, I just haven't got

the how. So, let's all stand to our

feet.

Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you

so much for this. Yes. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you for this service. What's being

done, what will be done, what's going to

take place, what shall take place, your

will, your plan, your purpose in the

lives of all of us. Father, I thank you.

Thank you for this place spiritually and

m and uh and even numerically. Thank you

Lord. This place will grow and grow and

grow and grow and grow. Not just grow in

this city but grow in the nations of the

world. Thank you father for raising up

this house for what you have for it to

do. And we're grateful for it. We thank

you in Jesus name.

Hallelujah.

>> And while heads are bowed and eyes are

closed, Christians are praying.

If you're in here today and you say,

"Pastor Mark, I I don't know. I I'm just

not right with God. I I you know, I I've

been to church or I haven't been to

church. I never been saved or I got

saved at one time, but I'm just away

from God, and I want to get that right

before I leave here today. Would you

pray for me?"

There's nothing like knowing you're away

from God. That's a horrible thing. And

on the other side, there's nothing like

knowing you're connected with God.

Hallelujah. that you're walking with

him, upright before him, in good place

with him. If you're right with God, not

I'm not saying you cut somebody off in

traffic this morning. Maybe you did,

maybe you didn't. I don't know. But if

you can say, "I'm just I'm just not

right with God. I'm not right with God.

It's not his fault. I'm just I'm just

away from him." I've been there. A lot

of you have been there. But once you've

been there, you don't ever want to go

there again.

If that's you, wave your hand at me. I

want to pray for you. I'm not going to

embarrass you. I want to pray for you.

Anybody here? Pray, Pastor Mark, pray

for me. I want to I want to get my life

back right with God. Maybe you've never

been there. Maybe you've been there

before.

I was there when I was in elementary

school. I remember [music] it walking up

right before God. By the time I got to

high school, I didn't know if I even

cared or not. By the time I got to

college, I wasn't sure if I really even

was sure I believed in him. I mean, I

had a lot of questions. Everything got

messed up. Bad friends, bad music,

bad stuff.

If that's you, wave your hand at me. I

want to pray for you.

Anyone here, just slip your hand up. Not

going to embarrass you. Just want to

pray for you.

Hallelujah. All right. Father, in the

name of Jesus, we thank you right now.

Thank you for what you've done this

morning and what you're doing this

morning. And we thank you for what's

coming in the days ahead. We thank you

in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Hallelujah. Praise God. We got one more

thing to do.

You going to take that? You want me to

take that or? No, you want me to take

that? Okay. I'm going to squeeze this

into briefly. Um, Pastor Jan and I have

been, we've gone to the nations, like I

said, I don't know, last I knew about

250 trips to the nations, give or take a

hundred, I don't know. But, um, been a

lot of places, been to 50ome nations, I

think. But, um,

there's a nation we've never been to.

People tried to get us to go for 40

years. I said, I don't want to go. No, I

don't want to go there. I couldn't tell

you. I don't want If you want to go,

talk to Joe. I'm not I don't want to go,

you know, just just no. It's just And uh

people kept saying, "You need to take a

you know, people said go with us. Go on

a tour group with us to Israel." I said,

"I don't do tour buses.

Just doesn't work for me. I'm a hermit.

I'll head for the woods. I'm just not

going to ride a tour bus." And not that

that's wrong or bad, just not good for

me. So anyway, make a long story short,

people talked to us for years about

going. had a lot of friends that took

trips, took tours, took churches, did

all that. Great.

And uh all I know is it was okay until

we got to praying.

And we got to praying what, a year and a

half ago, something like that.

Two years ago, we don't we don't get in

a rush. two years ago, we get to praying

and as we'd prayed, it was kind of like

when we prayed back in the late 90s and

all of a sudden there was a church. We

got to praying and all of a sudden we're

we're looking out on the streets of

Jerusalem and I'm going, I don't know

who that is, but that is not me. You

know, I'm I'm you know, they they they

shoot bombs at each other over there. I

you know, I've been around bad places,

but I I don't think that's us.

But it wouldn't go away. And it kept

getting bigger and bigger and bigger. So

all of a sudden we we contacted Joe. I

said, "If we're going, we're go if we're

going we're going with Joe Morris.

That's just all there is to it. I'm not

going to go with anybody else. Not

interested in going with anybody else."

And uh so we had a trip all planned and

uh I think it was early maybe early

October, year and a half ago.

October. Well, we had were ready to go

just before that. And I'm I'm walking

past a TV in a in a hotel. uh cafe thing

downstairs. And I look at the TV and

they're showing Israel being bombed by

Hamas and a war broke out in the 7th of

October. Yeah. A year and a half ago,

whatever it was, and Tel Aviv airport

was shut down. We had to cancel our

tickets. So, here we are two years

later. All of a sudden, it came back in

like a fury. And it just hasn't gone

away. So, we contact I mean short

suddenly notice.

So, we got hold of Call Joe. Like I

said, if you don't know, Call Joe.

>> If you're around here much, you know

that there's the hand of God's on on Joe

Morse for many things, but one of them

is one of them is what's going in the

Middle East. And so, we we called him

up, got him on the phone, said, "We're

thinking about going. You want to go?"

He said, "You know, I've got two weeks

in uh I got two weeks in February." And

he said, "I got nothing booked in there.

That just doesn't happen." So, yeah,

let's go. So, we leave tomorrow morning

at 10:30. We're heading for uh we're

we're going to go Yeah. [applause]

And so, uh we're going to we're going to

spend we're we're taking two parts of

the trip. We're going to spend half the

trip in Israel in Jerusalem. The other

half we're coming back through, um uh

Athens, Greece. Uh we used to have a

school there. We used to do meetings

there. Amazing place. So, uh we're going

to split it half and half. We're going

to start out in Jerusalem and we're

going to spend about five or six days

there, something like that. And then

we're going to come back through Greece

and spend about four days there and then

we're going to come back home. So

go ahead.

>> So when we're in obviously when we get

to Jerusalem, we're going to be with the

kois

>> at our firebase Israel and um some

interesting things have happened there.

Even just this last week, I'm telling

you uh things that they've been waiting

for for years uh have taken place this

last week. they were uh without going

into it, but God is moving in that

nation. So, but we're going with Joe.

Joe is going with us. [music] Whatever.

We're going with you. We're going to

follow your lead, brother. So, the last

couple weeks, we've been calling them

every day. Okay. Do you have still have

a piece about going? Things are getting

three of us. We said if any of us don't

we lose our peace, we're not going. I

[music] don't plan to spend my time in a

bomb shelter. So, um, but we all have

peace about it. We know that we're going

with an entourage of angels.

>> Sure.

>> So, um, so Joe, you come up and we're

going to do what he just preached about.

We're going to be sent out. Yeah.

asked Larry and Angela if you guys will

come um and pray over us. Clar and

Angela, for those of you who are maybe

newer to the church, we had schools for

many, many years throughout the world.

And they did um one of our first schools

in the Czech Republic and then they did

a church, transitioned into a church.

And so come over here, y'all. Why y'all
