THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK

YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY COULD BRING

THE PULPIT UP. BUT AS I HAD MY HAND UP, I JUST FEEL VERY

PROMPTED. SOMETIMES I HEAR THE VOICE OF THE LORD, OR OTHER

TIMES YOU PERCEIVE. AND SO I PERCEIVE THAT WE'RE TO PUT OUR—

IF YOU'RE RIGHT-HAND, PUT YOUR RIGHT HAND UP. THAT'S YOUR

PREDOMINANT HAND. I GUESS IF YOU'RE AMBIDEXTROUS, WHATEVER

THEY CALL IT, IN A ROW, YOU CAN PUT UP BOTH HANDS. OR IF YOU'RE

LEFT-HANDED, PUT YOUR HAND— PUT YOUR ARM UP. AND YOU REMEMBER

WHEN MOSES STOOD AND NEEDED A BREAKTHROUGH, GOD SAID, MOSES,

WHY ARE YOU SHRIEKING UNTO ME? LIFT UP YOUR ROD OF AUTHORITY.

LIFT UP YOUR ARM. AND MOSES, THE BIBLE SAID, HE LIFTED UP HIS ARM

AND SOMETHING IN THE NATURAL BEGAN TO BECOME SUPERNATURAL,

AND THE WAY BEGAN TO BE OPEN. AND I SENSE AS YOUR ARMS ARE

OPEN ALL OVER THE WORLD LIKE THIS, YOUR ARM IS UP. SOME OF

YOU HAVE BEEN NEEDING BREAKTHROUGH. YOU'VE BEEN

NEEDING GOD TO MAKE A WAY. YOU'VE BEEN NEEDING SOMETHING TO

SHIFT. SOME OF YOU, YOUR ENEMIES HAVE BEEN PURSUING VERY HARD,

AND I SENSE AS YOUR ARM IS UP, YOU MAY THINK IT'S FOOLISH, BUT

GOD'S TAKING YOU UP ON IT. AND I'M TELLING YOU, THERE IS A

DROWNING OF YOUR ENEMIES. THERE IS A BREAKTHROUGH, THERE IS A

SHIFTING, THERE IS A DELIVERANCE. COME ON, ARE YOU

(MUSIC)

YOUR ARM UP IF YOU CAN. IF YOU'RE GETTING YOU'RE TIRED, PUT

THE OTHER ONE UP. BUT I'M SERIOUS, LET EVERY ENEMY BE

DROWNED THAT RISES UP AGAINST US, AGAINST OUR CHILDREN. LET A

BREAKTHROUGH BEGIN TO MANIFEST. WE TAKE AUTHORITY, WE LIFT UP

OUR ROD OF AUTHORITY IN YESHUA'S NAME. WAYMAKER, CONNECT OUR

WORLD WITH THE SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION. COME ON, LIKE

MOSES. IT'S TIME FOR BREAKTHROUGH. IT'S TIME FOR YOU

TO MAKE THE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE, FOR THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR

FINANCES, THEIR CHILDREN. COME ON, THEIR BODIES. COME ON, YOU

(MUSIC)

BREAKTHROUGH HAPPENING AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK

YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. HOW MANY CAN FEEL SOMETHING? I GOT

TO TELL YOU A FUNNY STORY. YEARS AGO, SO YEARS AGO, I HAD MY HAND

UP LIKE THIS AND I WAS JUST PRAYING AND INTERCEDING, AND ALL

OF A SUDDEN SUDDEN I LOOKED UP AND IT SHOCKED ME. HAVE YOU

EVER— HAVE YOU EVER HAD— HOW MANY HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE

SPIRIT REALM? HOW MANY HAVE EVER HAD A VISION? YOU THINK FOR A

MOMENT, IS THIS JUST ME? AND I REMEMBER ONE TIME I WAS

WORSHIPING IN OUR OTHER BUILDING AND I HAD MY ARM UP AND ALL OF A

SUDDEN I FELT SOMETHING COME IN THE ROOM AND I LOOKED UP AND I—

GOD, THE LORD'S MY WITNESS— I SAW SOMETHING COME IN THROUGH

THE CEILING AND I THOUGHT, IS THAT A HORSE? YOU KNOW I LOVE

HORSES AND I'M NOT HORSING AROUND, BUT THIS IS TRUE. I

LOOKED UP AND THIS HORSE CAME AND WENT RIGHT IN FRONT ME AND

BAM, LANDED. AND I LOOKED AND I COULD SEE THE HOOF AND THE

MUSCLE STRUCTURE OF THAT HORSE LEG. AND I STARTED LOOKING AT IT

AND I SAW THEN A PERSON'S LEG ON THE HORSE. AS I WAS LOOKING AT

IT, THIS PERSON'S ANKLE, THIGH, AND I LOOKED UP AND IT WAS THE

LORD, AND HE THREW A SPEAR DOWN OF FIRE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

I'M THINKING, THIS IS CRAZY, NOBODY'S GONNA BELIEVE ME. AND I

LOOKED AT HIM AND HE WAS WEARING AN INDIAN HEADDRESS ON HIS HEAD,

AND IT MESSED WITH ME. THIS IS THE OTHER PART. SO I LOOKED OVER

AND I HAD A SWORD IN MY HAND. I'M I'M LIKE, WHAT IN THE WORLD?

AND HE SAID, YOUR NAME IN HEAVEN, IN THIS VISION, YOU ARE

CALLED JOSHUA. I'M THINKING, I AM NEVER GONNA TELL ANYBODY THIS

IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I AM NOT TELLING ANYBODY, NOT WHAT I SAW.

I'M NOT EVEN TELLING BRENDA. I'M NOT EVEN TELLING THEM THAT THIS

IS WHAT I HEARD, THAT I GUESS THE LORD REFERS TO ME AS A TYPE,

OR HE SAID THAT WAS MY NAME. IN HEAVEN, JOSHUA. AND SO I KEPT IT

QUIET, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I SAID, BRENDA, I GOT TO TELL YOU

SOMETHING. SHE GOES, NO, I BELIEVE IT. TWO WEEKS LATER,

THIS LADY COMES TO OUR CHURCH, A GUEST SPEAKER. HER NAME WAS

BARBARA WINTROW. YOU EVER HEARD OF HER? SHE GOES, YOU KNOW THE

STRANGEST THING. SHE GOES, I JUST FEEL LIKE THE LORD HAS

APPEARED, AND I SEE HIM LIKE ON A HORSE. I'M LIKE— AND SHE GOES,

AND THE LORD WANTS ME TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR NAME IN HEAVEN,

YOU ARE CALLED JOSHUA. SO THEN FAST FORWARD ABOUT 6 MONTHS

LATER, ANOTHER LADY COMES. HER NAME IS MARY FRANCES FERALLO.

SHE GOES, WHY AM I STANDING HERE IN THIS SPOT AND THE LORD

TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE KNOWN IN HEAVEN AND CALLED JOSHUA? AND

SHE GOES, AND THE LORD APPEARS IN THIS CHURCH. SO ANYWAY, FAST

FORWARD. I SAID, LORD, WHY DID YOU THROW A SPIRIT AT ME. HE

SAID, BECAUSE I GAVE YOU AUTHORITY OVER THIS TERRITORY,

AND IT'LL BE EXPANDED INTO THE NATION. AND I SAID, WELL, WHY

WERE YOU LIKE— YOU KNOW, JESUS, I'VE SEEN YOU IN A LOT OF

DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT WHY WERE YOU WEARING AN INDIAN HEADREST?

AND HE DIDN'T ANSWER ME. I'M THINKING, OKAY, THAT'S

INTERESTING. HE'S NOT TALKING TO ME ABOUT IT. JUST LIKE I ASKED

HIM ONE TIME IF WE WENT TO THE MOON BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE TRUST

IN ME, RIGHT? AND THE LORD SAID, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT THAT, HANK, BECAUSE I KNEW HE WAS SAYING YOU'RE AN IDIOT,

QUIT BRINGING THAT UP. SO NOW, I DON'T DOUBT IT. LISTEN, DON'T,

DON'T GET THERE, BUT SOME THINGS YOU JUST DON'T ASK THE ALMIGHTY

GOD. HE'S GOT OTHER THINGS TO DO, RIGHT? SO ONE DAY I WAS

READING, AND THE BIBLE CALLS HIM THE CHIEF BISHOP OF OUR SOUL.

NOW, YOUR INTERPRETATION OF CHIEF CAN BE WHATEVER IT IS, BUT

HE HAD HIS INDIAN HEADDRESS ON. SO WHY AM I SAYING THAT TO YOU?

NEVER, NEVER DOUBT WHO JESUS IS AS A WARRIOR, AND NEVER DOUBT,

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THE AUTHORITY THAT HAS BEEN

GIVEN TO YOU. YOUR NAME MIGHT BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, RIGHT? BUT

KNOW THAT YOU ARE AN ANOINTED ONE. YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, AND

YOU HAVE AUTHORITY AND POWER. AMEN. SO PUT YOUR SWORD UP.

SOMEBODY PUT YOUR ROD OF AUTHORITY. DOESN'T THAT FEEL

GOOD? YEAH! DON'T EVER BE AFRAID TO STAND ON THE SIDE OF THE LORD

SABAOTH, WHO HAS NEVER LOST A BATTLE. GIVE HIM ONE MORE SHOUT

OF PRAISE. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I WANT TO GET ROBERTS

LIARDON UP HERE. WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED? I'M NOT

EVEN GOING TO HAVE YOU GREET ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN

GREETING EACH OTHER A LOT, RIGHT? WOW, WHAT A CROWD! THANK

YOU FOR SHOWING UP IN THE EVENING. SO, ALL RIGHT, SO LET

ME JUST ASK A QUICK QUESTION REAL QUICK. PASTOR DOJI, COULD

YOU COME? DON'T YOU JUST LOVE PASTOR DOJI? HE'S MY SON. I LOVE

YOU. AND I'VE GOT SOME BOOKS I WANT TO GIVE AWAY. I DON'T WANT

TO GO REAL LONG TODAY. LIKE I SAID, I WANT TO GET ROBERT'S

WRITE-UP. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FORMAT OF NEXT

YEAR, AND I THOUGHT ABOUT, WELL, AM I MAKING YOU GUYS TOO BUSY BY

HAVING AFTERNOON MEETINGS? YOU DON'T FEEL THAT WAY? OKAY. WELL,

THE PROOF THAT YOU'RE HERE IS THAT I JUST— I TOLD BRENDA, I

SAID, "ARE THEY EATING? YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS GOING TO THE FOOD

TRUCKS? ARE YOU GETTING FOOD? BECAUSE THAT IS REALLY MY HEART.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE BEING TAKEN CARE OF." SO,

ALRIGHT. SO NOW HERE'S THE THING. NO PRESSURE. BUT HOW MANY

OF YOU WANT US TO DO AFTERNOON MEETINGS AS WELL? OKAY. THEN

WE'RE GONNA DO IT. DO YOU LIKE THE, OKAY, HOW ABOUT THIS ONE

FOR A GUY THAT DIDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT. HOW DO YOU LIKE THE 9

O'CLOCK START TIME? OH, OKAY. I WAS THINKING MAYBE 11 O'CLOCK

NEXT YEAR OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, SO. NO, WE'LL DO 9

O'CLOCK. PART OF IT IS, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD THE

ANOINTING ON YOUR LIFE? YOU KNOW, BENNY HINN TOLD ME THIS

WHEN I WAS WITH HIM. HE GOES, HANK, MY BROTHER, WHAT IS IT

LIKE WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD COMES ON YOU? I'M NOT SO BAD,

IMITATION. I SAID, WELL, SOMETIMES, BENNY, AT NIGHT, IT'S

LIKE I STAY UP. I CAN'T WIND DOWN. AND HE GOES, I KNOW WHAT

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BROTHER. SOMETIMES THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES

OVER ME AND I CANNOT SLEEP FOR A DAY. SO SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS. SO

DOES THAT HAPPEN TO YOU, ROBERTS SOMETIMES IT'S LIKE YOU GET THAT

POWER ON YOU. YOU KNOW, LESTER SUMRALL USED TO SAY THAT ONE,

WHAT IS IT, ONE HOUR IN THE ANOINTING, WHEN THAT HEAVY

AUTHORITY AND ANOINTING COMES ON YOU, IS LIKE 8 HOURS HOURS OF

MANUAL LABOR. ISN'T THAT CRAZY? SO ANYWAY, ALL RIGHT, I WANNA

GIVE SOME BOOKS AWAY. I WANNA GIVE, THIS IS MUTZPHEY & MILO,

MUD RATS FOR A DAY.THIS IS ONE I WROTE WHERE THEY DECIDE TO BE

COOL AND TO BECOME A MUD RAT. WHO SAID, THE PERSON IN THE

GREEN RIGHT THERE, YOU. ALL RIGHT, WILLIE, HERE'S WHAT I

WANT YOU TO DO. NO, YOU CAN JUST HAND IT TO HER, THAT'S FINE,

OKAY. I WON'T MAKE YOU WORK. HE'S A FORMER D1 FOOTBALL

PLAYER. PLAYERS. SO, AND BY THE WAY, TONIGHT I DON'T WANT TO

KNOW WHAT THE NEBRASKA SCORE IS. I'M TAPING IT. SO WHEN TOMMY'S

PREACHING, YOU KNOW, DON'T, DON'T COME AND TELL ME. DON'T

TEXT ME, THOSE WHO GOT MY NUMBER. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

I'M TAPING IT, AND I'M GOING TO STAY UP AND WATCH IT. I AM,

BECAUSE I CAN. ALL RIGHT, SECRET AGENT SUE FROM THE FARM TO THE

BAHAMAS. WHO CAN I GIVE THIS? I'M I'M GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU.

AND BY THE WAY, TOMMY GAVE ME SOMETHING THAT IS ALSO A GIFT.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? PRISCILLA. OH, ARE YOU RELATED TO— YOU'RE NOT

HER— OKAY, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I'VE NEVER MET YOUR

SISTER AND I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET HER. TELL HER I WANT TO

MEET HER, OKAY? OH WAIT, THIS IS FROM TOMMY. HE'S HANDING OUT

REESE'S PIECES FOR THOSE THAT GET A BOOK TODAY. SO SHOW THEM

YOUR BAG, TOMMY. TOMMY, STAND UP AND SHOW THEM YOUR REESE'S

PIECES BAG. THERE YOU GO. WE'RE HANDING OUT LITTLE PIECES THERE.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS MY SPACEBALL. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER BEEN IN A

PUB? HOLD ON, LET ME SAY SOMETHING. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER

BEEN IN A PUBLIC PLACE AND SOMEBODY'S TALKING REALLY,

REALLY LOUD ON THEIR CELL PHONE? I'VE INVENTED THE APP TO SOLVE

IT ALL. IT'S CALLED THE HUSH UP SOUNDPROOF CELL PHONE BOOTH.

DON'T YOU JAM MY GLASSES. GLASSES. AND WHAT YOU DO IS,

IT'S AVAILABLE IN 6 COLORS: PRIVACY PINK, BE QUIET BLUE, NO

YELL YELLOW, HUSH HYENA, SILENT SILVER, AND NOISELESS NAVY. YEP,

IT'S PORTABLE, FITS IN YOUR PURSE OR YOUR BACKPACK. SO YOU

CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE. SO I'VE INVENTED I DID THIS. WHAT, YOU

NEED IT? OR IS SOMEBODY NEXT TO YOU TELLING ME, "PLEASE GET IT

FOR THAT GUY." OH, YOU WANT IT? BUT THIS IS FILLED WITH, SO IN

MY SPARE TIME, I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF INVENTIONS. AND SO I

CAME UP WITH FAKE ADS WITH NORRIS. NORRIS AND I, WE CAME UP

WITH SOME WEIRD STUFF. LIKE HERE'S ONE. HOW MANY EVER HAD AT

CHRISTMASTIME COMING UP, YOU EVER PULLED OUT YOUR CHRISTMAS

LIGHTS THAT YOU WRAPPED UP SO DELICATELY AND NOW THIS YEAR

THEY'RE TANGLED. I HAVE INVENTED THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ENTANGLER.

SO SEE THAT RIGHT THERE? CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ENTANGLER. HOW

MANY OF YOU SEE THAT RIGHT THERE? WHERE AM I? SO THERE YOU

CHOICE FOR FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY. OH WAIT, I GOT TO GIVE YOU A CAKE

BOTH OF THEM. I'M GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU. THERE YOU GO. OH, AND

YOU GET THIS FROM TOMMY. TOMMY KNOWS HOW TO SING. HE MIGHT

SING. OKAY, THERE YOU GO, TOMMY. TOP OF THE AFTERNOON TO YOU,

TOMMY. ALL RIGHT, WELL, HOW MANY KNOW— THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING. ALL RIGHT, IT'S OFFERING TIME. IF THEY COULD PUT

THE GIVING INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN. I HAVE NO IDEA. REMEMBER

I TOLD YOU WE NEEDED $150,000 TO WIPE THIS THING OFF, CUT THE

HEAD OF IT OFF, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE'RE AT THAT. I

ASKED BRENDA, SHE SAID, I DON'T KNOW. I SAID, OH, OKAY, WE DON'T

KNOW. SO THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU DON'T GIVE. PLEASE, WE NEED—

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT ALREADY PAID FOR AND THEN WHATEVER COMES

IN RIGHT NOW AND THOSE OF YOU GRACIOUS, AWESOME PEOPLE THAT

ARE WATCHING, THAT THIS IS JUST SURPLUS SO THAT WE CAN

START USING IT FOR OTHER STUFF. I CAN'T TELL YOU A COUPLE THINGS

THAT ARE GOING ON BECAUSE I'M STILL KIND OF IN NEGOTIATIONS.

NEGOTIATIONS. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIDN'T GET

SLEEP. NEGOTIATIONS. I DO SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH, MOST OF THE TIME.

OKAY, SO, BUT ANYWAY, YOUR GENEROSITY WILL BE GREATLY

APPRECIATED. SO, USHERS, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BEGIN TO SERVE TO

SERVE THE PEOPLE. THERE IS THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN

GIVE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET YOU OUT OF HERE BY 4:00

SO YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. AND I WANT TO GIVE PLENTY OF TIME TO

ROBERTS AS WELL. SO I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE THEM LIKE IN 2 MINUTES

HERE. SO USHERS, GO AHEAD AND BEGIN TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. THERE

IS THE INFORMATION FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. YOU CAN

SNAIL MAIL IT, TEXT TO GIVE. ONE OF THE THINGS I AM GOING TO ADD

TO THAT IS GIVE BY THE WAY OF THE DOVE. IT'S SPIRIT-LED

GIVING. AND WHAT WE DO IS, YOU KNOW, WE ASSIGN A DOVE AND IT

CARRIES THE GIFT. OKAY, THAT IS REALLY STUPID, WASN'T IT? THAT

WAS LIKE A DUMB JOKE. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU HEAR A DUMB JOKE,

YOU KNOW, WHEN ESPECIALLY YOU'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN TOMMY COMES

UP AND PREACHES TONIGHT, YOU'LL HEAR HIM AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

HEY, BY THE WAY, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE ENJOYED HAVE YOU ENJOYED

WE'RE GOING TO START WORKING ON BOOKING EVERYBODY HERE. AND

DON'T YOU LOVE THE LINEUP OF OUR SPEAKERS? SO, ALL RIGHT. WELL,

YOU GO AHEAD AND STAND TO YOUR FEET REAL QUICK. AND YOU CAN GO

AHEAD AND SERVE THE PEOPLE. YOU CAN USHER. THAT'S WHAT USHERING

MEANS. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN USHER. GIVING. FATHER, I DO PRAY YOUR

BLESSING UPON THE PEOPLE. THANK YOU, FATHER, THAT THE PEOPLE ARE

SO GENEROUS. AND I'M ASKING YOU TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL. YOU

SAID THIS IS THE HOUR AND THE TIME OF THE SPOILS OF WAR. AS I

PRAYED EARLIER, SPOIL YOUR PEOPLE AND BLESS THEM BEYOND ALL

THAT THEY COULD ASK OR THINK. AND LORD, EVEN AS THEY GO BACK

TO THEIR OWN SPHERE OF INFLUENCE, THEIR HOMES, THEIR

CITIES. LET THERE BE BLESSINGS AWAITING THEM IN THE PLACE OF

OVERFLOW. AND LASTLY, I PRAY THAT THEIR BARNS WILL BE FILLED

WITH PLENTY AND LET THEIR VATS BURST OUT WITH NEW WINE. IN

OTHER WORDS, BREAKTHROUGH. AND I ASK YOU FOR THAT IN JESUS' NAME.

AND EVERYBODY SAID, AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M GOING TO

INTRODUCE ROBERTS LIARDON. ROBERTS, I HAVE BEEN DEEPLY

IMPACTED. I TOLD HIM EARLIER, I FOUND THE TAPE FROM 1989 AND I

GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT FROM CASSETTE TO LET YOU GUYS

HEAR IT. HE CALLS BRENDA AND I OUT AND YOU CAN HEAR HIM. HE

CALLS US OUT. YOU CAN HEAR OUR VOICE. AND THE NEXT THING HE

KNOWS, HE IS PRAYING IN THESE TONGUES THAT ARE LIKE A WILD MAN

AND THE AUTHORITY OF CALLING THE PROPHETIC MANTLE INTO THE EARTH,

THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH HIM, IT COMES ON BRENDA AND I AT THAT

MOMENT AND EVERYTHING IS HISTORY. BUT HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR

THAT MOMENT, THAT TIME, WE WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. SO

WITH THAT, I WANT YOU TO GIVE IT UP FOR OUR FRIEND, YOUR FRIEND,

GOD'S FRIEND, ROBERTS LIARDON. THANK YOU, PASTOR. THANK YOU,

SIR. WE LOVE YOU. THANK YOU. HELLO, EVERYBODY. SOMETHING GOOD

IS COMING. GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU TODAY. AMEN.

FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME THIS AFTERNOON. WE PULL THE

CONSCIOUS OF THIS MOMENT TO FOCUS ON YOU. EVERY OTHER VOICE

FADES, EVERY OTHER THOUGHT STILLS, AND WE BECOME CONSCIOUS

OF WHAT YOU SAY, WHAT YOU DO, AND WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR

THIS MOMENT IN OUR LIFE. AND WE DO I DO VOW TO GIVE YOU ALL THE

GLORY FOR THAT WHICH SHALL TRANSPIRE TODAY. IN JESUS' NAME,

EVERYBODY AGREED, SAID AMEN. YOU MAY BE SEATED THIS AFTERNOON. IT

IS ALWAYS AN HONOR TO BE WITH PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA, AND I

WANT TO PUBLICLY GO ON THE RECORD SAYING, DID NOT PASTOR

BRENDA DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB THIS MORNING? I THINK I TOLD

HER, I'M GOING TO HIJACK YOUR MESSAGE AND PREACH IT. MINE.

ORAL ROBERTS TOLD ME A LONG TIME AGO THAT REVELATION IS NOT

COPYWRITTEN, SO EVERYTHING'S FREE. BUT I THOUGHT SHE DID A

GREAT JOB TO EXPLAIN THE CULTURE AND ALL THE ASPECTS FROM THE

SCRIPTURE, AND THAT'LL HELP SOLVE A LOT OF PERSONAL

QUESTIONS. SO I'M SO GLAD TO— I CAME, EVERY TIME I COME HERE, I

REMEMBER YOUR BEGINNING DAYS WHEN YOU HAD THAT LITTLE WING OR

SUITE, WHATEVER YOU CALLED IT, IN THIS LINEUP. UP HERE. AND YOU

KNOW, IF YOU STAY FAITHFUL, PASTORS, THE VISION COMES TO

PASS. YOU HAVE TO STAY FAITHFUL DURING THE TIMES WHEN NO ONE

APPLAUDS YOU, WHEN NO ONE SEES IT BUT YOU. BUT GOD KNOWS WHAT

HE TOLD YOU, AND GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND IT ALL

HAPPENS. SO I WANT YOU TO TAKE A MOMENT AND LOOK AT THIS

BUILDING. LOOK AT ALL THE CAMERAS, ALL THE LIGHTS, THE BIG

PICTURE, EVEN ME ON ON THAT SCREEN. SOAK IN WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN YOU'RE FAITHFUL. SOAK IN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO WHAT

GOD'S CALLED YOU TO DO IN SPITE OF WHAT THE DEVIL DOES. WHEN

YOU'RE IN A ROOM LIKE THIS, SOMETHING CAN GET ON YOU TO HELP

YOU BUILD WHAT YOU'RE CALLED TO BUILD IN YOUR TOWN AND IN YOUR

CITY. SO NEVER COME INTO A BUILDING THAT'S BUILT BY GOD'S

PEOPLE AND NOT LET SOME OF IT GET ON YOU. AMEN. HALLELUJAH.

FATHER, WE THANK YOU THAT WHAT'S IN THIS BUILDING AND WHAT CAUSED

THIS BUILDING TO COME TO PASS WILL FALL UPON PASTORS AND

MINISTERS, THAT THAT WHICH THEY'RE CALLED TO BUILD IN THEIR

CITY SHALL NOW BEGIN TO PROGRESS EVEN FASTER. IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN. HOW MANY HAVE READ ANY OF MY 101 BOOKS? CAN I SEE YOUR

HAND? HOW MANY HAVE READ NONE OF MY BOOKS? CAN I SEE YOUR HAND?

YOU'RE ALL IN SIN. AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF THIS SIN

IS READ ONE OF MY BOOKS. NOW I HAVE 7 HELPERS TODAY. WHERE ARE

MY BEAUTIFUL LADIES AT? COME FORTH. THEY'RE ALL CARRYING ONE

OF MY BOOKS AND I CAN'T CARRY THEM OUT THERE BY MYSELF BECAUSE

THEY'RE TOO BIG. JUST LINE UP ACROSS THE STAGE HERE. AND DON'T

YOU LOVE MY BOOKS? MY BEAUTIFUL LADIES THAT ARE HELPING ME

TODAY. GIVE THEM A GOOD HAND. NOW, I CAN'T CARRY THEM OUT HERE

ALL BY MYSELF. BY MYSELF, BUT I WANTED TO DO THIS. WHEN I WAS 12

YEARS OLD, THE LORD APPEARED TO ME AND TOLD ME TO STUDY DEAD

PREACHERS. WHY DID THEY MAKE IT AND WHY DID THEY FAIL? BECAUSE

THERE WILL COME A GENERATION WHO WANT TO KNOW WHAT I WILL SHOW

YOU IF YOU'LL DO WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO. SO I BEGIN AT 12 YEARS

OLD READING BOOKS AND TALKING TO OLD PEOPLE, MAINLY OLD WOMEN,

BECAUSE THE MEN ARE ALREADY DEAD AND THEIR WIVES ARE ALIVE, AND

THEY'LL TELL THE STORY AND SO I'VE WRITTEN A SERIES THAT'S NOW

INTO 7 VOLUMES CALLED GOD'S GENERALS. NOW THAT'S THE FIRST

ONE. OH, THAT'S THE BLUE ONE. HOW MANY READ THAT BLUE FIRST

BOOK? ALL RIGHT. DID YOU LIKE IT? NOW, SOME OF YOU DON'T THINK

THERE'S 7 VOLUMES. THERE'LL BE 12 WHEN I'M DONE. BUT IF YOU GET

THESE BOOKS, THERE ARE 60 DIFFERENT REVIVALISTS WHERE I GO

INTO THEIR LIFE AND THEIR MINISTRY IN DEPTH TO TELL YOU

WHAT THEY DID, HOW THEIR MARRIAGE WORKED, HOW THEIR

MINISTRY WORKED, WHERE THEY OVERCAME, WHERE THEY FAILED,

WHAT IT WAS. 60 DIFFERENT MINISTRIES AND 3,000 PAGES. SO

WHEN YOU READ A LIARDON BOOK, YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN SOMETHING.

THESE BOOKS YOU DON'T COLLECT. THESE ARE BOOKS THAT YOU READ

AND YOU OBEY. AMEN. THIS FIRST ONE HERE IS PENTECOSTAL PEOPLE.

WIGGLESWORTH, AMY, KATHRYN LAKE, WIGGLESWORTH, ALL THESE NICE

PEOPLE. THE SECOND VOLUME IS THE REFORMERS. IF THEY DIDN'T COME

ABOUT, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE COME ABOUT. MARTIN LUTHER, JOHN KNOX,

THE SCOTTISH REFORMER, GIVE ME SCOTLAND LEST I DIE. HE PRAYED

FOR 13 YEARS FOR SCOTLAND AND FINALLY GOT IT AND CHANGED THE

WHOLE NATION. A REFORMER IS STRONGER THAN A REVIVALIST, AND

A REFORMATION IS STRONGER THAN A REVIVAL. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT

TODAY. THEN THESE ARE THE REVIVALISTS I TALK ABOUT. BILLY

GRAHAM. ANYBODY EVER SEE BILLY GRAHAM IN PERSON? IN PERSON?

GREAT. HE PREACHED TO 250 MILLION PEOPLE IN IN PERSON, NOT

TV, RADIO, AND BOOKS, BUT IN PERSON. 250 MILLION PEOPLE

BEFORE HE DIED. WE TALK ABOUT HIS LIFE. WE TALK ABOUT THE

CROSS-EYED PREACHER NAMED GEORGE WHITEFIELD THAT CAME TO AMERICA,

THAT PREACHED AND PROPHESIED TO THIS COUNTRY IN THE COLONIAL

DAYS. THIS SHALL BE ONE NATION UNDER GOD. AND HE PROPHESIED IT

SO STRONG, IT'S A PART OF OUR NATIONAL CONSCIENCE THAT WE ARE

ONE ONE NATION UNDER GOD. AND IT CAME FROM A CROSS-EYED PREACHER.

SO IF YOUR NOSE IS TOO BIG, YOUR BUTT'S TOO BIG, YOUR EAR IS TOO

BIG, YOU CAN GET OVER THAT. ALL RIGHT? IF GOD CAN USE A

CROSS-EYED PREACHER, YOU DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. AMEN. ALL RIGHT.

NUMBER 4 IS THE HEATED EVANGELIST. MOST OF THESE GUYS I

KNEW. ORAL ROBERTS, GEORGE JEFFREYS, THE GREAT BRITISH

APOSTLE. WE'VE GOT F.F. BOSWORTH, CHARLES AND FRANCES

HUNTER. YOU KNOW, THEY HAD YOU KNOW THE HAPPY HUNTERS? THEY'RE

GREAT PEOPLE. LESTER SUMRALL, HE WAS MY SPIRITUAL DAD. ORAL

AND LESTER ARE THE CLOSEST TO ME IN THERE. BROTHER SUMRALL WAS

A— I KNEW HIM IN THE LATTER YEARS OF HIS LIFE, THE LAST 15

YEARS OF HIS LIFE. I WASN'T THERE IN THE BEGINNING, OR HIS

FIGHTING YEARS, OR BUILDING YEARS. I WAS THERE IN HIS GIVING

YEARS. A GREAT THING TO DO, YOU YOUNG PEOPLE, IF YOU CAN HEAR

ME, FIND OLD PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY BEFORE THEY

DIE AND GIVE THE EXCHANGE. LET THAT WHICH IS IN THEIR BELLY

COME OUT AND GO INTO YOUR SPIRITS AND LET IT LIVE INTO

ANOTHER GENERATION. AND YOU'LL GET THE ANCIENT WISDOM WITH THE

NEW FIRE ZEAL. YOU CAN BECOME A GREAT VOICE IN THE WORLD TODAY.

IF YOU JUST HAVE YOU ALONE, TROUBLE'S COMING. IF YOU COMBINE

IT, MORE SUCCESS WILL COME YOUR WAY. THESE ARE CALLED THE GREAT

MISSIONARIES. THESE GUYS REALLY DID IT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO

BIBLES WHEN THEY STARTED. YOU GO TODAY, MOST PLACES YOU GO,

THERE'S BIBLES. THEY HAD TO GO AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE, TEACH

THE PEOPLE THE ALPHABET OF THEIR LANGUAGE, AND THEN TRANSLATE THE

BIBLE SO THEY COULD READ. THE BIBLE. SO THAT'S AMAZING. MY

FAVORITE GUY HERE IS DAVID LIVINGSTONE. NOW, MOST PEOPLE

KNOW HIM AS THE GUY THAT WENT TO AFRICA. WELL, HE WAS FIRST A

PREACHER. HE WENT THERE FOR TWO REASONS: TO STOP THE SLAVE TRADE

AND TO MAKE A MAP SO THE MISSIONARIES WOULD KNOW HOW TO

GET TO ALL THE VILLAGES AND THE TRIBES OUT THERE. WHEN HE DIED,

THEY FOUND SCARS UP AND DOWN BOTH ARMS AND THEY COULDN'T

FIGURE OUT WHY. AND THEY ASKED THE LITTLE AFRICAN GUY THAT CAME

WITH THE BODY, TO LONDON FROM AFRICA, THEY SAID, WHY IS THERE

SCARS ON HIS ARMS? BECAUSE WHEN HE WENT INTO THE TRIBES, HE MADE

BLOOD COVENANT WITH ALL THE CHIEFS SO THAT THE PEOPLE COMING

BEHIND HIM WOULD BE CONSIDERED A FRIEND AND NOT A FOE AND BE

WELCOMED INTO THE AFRICAN TRIBES TO BRING THE GOSPEL. SO HE DID

MORE THAN JUST GO, HI, I'M THE NEW WHITE GUY. HE MADE COVENANT

THAT MADE IT ALL OPEN. YOU'LL LOVE THE STORIES OF THEM. AND

THEN THESE ARE ALL THE GUYS THAT DIED. THESE THE MARTYRS. THEY'RE

SPECIAL PEOPLE. THEY DIED FOR THEIR FAITH. I WROTE THIS BOOK

AFTER I SAW THE MUSLIMS CUTTING THE HEADS OFF OF THE CHRISTIANS

OVER IN LIBYA, AND IT PROVOKED ME TO WRITE THE STORY BECAUSE

THERE'S MORE CHRISTIANS BEING PERSECUTED AND KILLED TODAY THAN

THERE WAS IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE, AND MORE VICIOUS. BUT IF THEY

CAN DIE FOR THEIR FAITH, YOU CAN STAND UP FOR YOUR FAITH AND SAY

SOMETHING IN TODAY'S SOCIETY. AND MY LAST VOLUME HERE IS

CALLED THE MOVEMENTS OF THE SPIRIT. THEY LET THEM. MY

FAVORITE GUY HERE IS LONNIE FRISBEE. HE'S THE HIPPIE

PREACHER. ANY EX-HIPPIES IN THE ROOM THAT'LL CONFESS, I WAS A

HIPPIE? WE KNOW YOU DID CRAZY THINGS. WE WON'T CALL IT AGAINST

YOU. BUT HE WAS BUTT NAKED WHEN HE GOT SAVED. HOW YOU LIKE THAT,

YOU NICE BAPTIST PEOPLE? HE— I GOTTA TELL THE STORY. HE AND TWO

FRIENDS WENT AND BOUGHT SOME LSD, AND AND WENT UP ON A HILL

SOMEPLACE IN CALIFORNIA, TOOK ALL THEIR CLOTHES OFF AND DID

THE HIT AND WAS DANCING NAKED IN THE SUN. AND JESUS CAME WALKING

ACROSS THE SKY TO LONNIE FRISBEE. NOW, I KNOW THAT SOUNDS

CRAZY WHEN YOU HEAR THESE STORIES. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S

TRUE? THE LIFE AFTER THE EVENT WILL TELL YOU IF THE EVENT WAS

TRUE, BECAUSE IF SOMETHING THAT CRAZY HAPPENED, YOUR LIFE WILL

CHANGE RADICALLY. AND SO HE SAID THAT HE WAS OUT THERE DANCING

DANCING NAKED IN THE SUN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HIPPIES DO THAT

FOR, BUT THEY WERE ALL 3 BOYS DANCING OUT THERE, TRIPPING AND

DANCING WITH THEIR BUTT IN THE SUN. AND JESUS DECIDED TO APPEAR

AT THAT MOMENT TO HIM. OUT OF ALL THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN

THE WORLD THAT GOD COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO LEAD A REVIVAL, HE

FOUND A NAKED LSD BUTT DANCER TO BE HIS LEADER. SO THERE'S HOPE

FOR YOU AND ALL YOUR CRAZINESS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THE LORD

APPEARS TO HIM. HE GETS SAVED, THEN HIS CALL COMES TO HIM. AND

AS SOON AS HE SAYS YES TO BOTH, HE'S IN HIS RIGHT MIND AND HE

PUTS HIS CLOTHES BACK ON. THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. AND THE

OTHER TWO GUYS COME OFF THEIR TRIP AND THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR

CLOTHES ON. AND LONNIE TELLS THEM LIKE, THIS JESUS DUDE

APPEARED TO ME AND I'M GOING TO HELP HIM. AND THEY GO, WELL, DO

YOU THINK HE NEEDS OUR HELP TOO? HE GOES, IF HE'S ASKING FOR MY

HELP, HE MUST BE AT THE LOWEST PART CARD OF HELP. SO ALL 3 GUYS

KIND OF JUMPED INTO THE KINGDOM, AND ONE OF THE GUYS THOUGHT,

WELL, CHRISTIANS DO SOMETHING WITH WATER, BUT THEY COULDN'T

FIGURE OUT BAPTISM. SO THEY DROVE DOWN, BECAUSE IN

CALIFORNIA YOU CAN SNOW SKI IN THE MORNING AND WATER SKI AT

NIGHT. SO THEY DROVE DOWN TO THE BEACH, AND THEY GOT IN THE WATER

AND JUST STOOD THERE. THEY DIDN'T KNOW, BUT THEY KNEW THAT

GOD AND CHRISTIANS AND WATERS DID SOMETHING, SO LET IT HAPPEN.

AND ONE OF THE GUYS SAID, WELL, SINCE THE JESUS DUDE APPEARED

TO YOU LONNIE THE NEXT WAVE COMING. JUST SHOVE ME IN IT AND

THEN SHOVE HIM IN THE NEXT ONE. AND SO HE STARTS SHOVING THEM

INTO THE WATER. NOTHING SUPERNATURAL. AND THE HIPPIES ON

THE BEACH START WATCHING THIS AND THEY WALK, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU

DOING? AND HE TURNS AND PREACHES THE FIRST SERMON OF THE JESUS

PEOPLE REVIVAL. IT'S A GREAT STORY. THESE ARE ALL THERE FOR

YOU IF YOU WANT THEM. I'M WRITING MORE, BUT THANK YOU

LADIES FOR HELPING ME SELL MY BOOKS TODAY. AND GIVE THEM A

GOOD HAND IF YOU IF YOU WOULD PLEASE. AMEN. OPEN YOUR BIBLES

TO 2 TIMOTHY, THE FIRST CHAPTER. I'M GOING TO MINISTER TO YOU

TODAY, AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TODAY TO IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE A

YOUNG MAN NAMED TIMOTHY IN A CRISIS, AND THAT YOUR SPIRITUAL

FATHER, HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY IN A PRISON, HAS PICKED UP YOUR

CRISIS IN HIS SPIRIT. IN TODAY'S WORLD, WE WOULD FLY TO YOU. WE

WOULD FACETIME YOU. WE COULD SEND YOU A LETTER. WE COULD DO

ALL THAT. BUT IN THOSE DAYS, COMMUNICATIONS WERE VERY

DIFFICULT. THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD COMMUNICATE IS YOU SEND

SOMEONE THAT WOULD REPRESENT YOU AND THEY DELIVER A VERBAL

MESSAGE, OR THEY WRITE A LETTER AND A CARRIER TAKES IT TO WHOM

YOU'RE SENDING IT TO. AND PAUL DID NOT HAVE A PHONE, DID NOT

HAVE ALL THE MODERN THINGS. HE HAD A PEN AND A PAPER, AND HE

WAS AWAKENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OFTEN BECAUSE THERE

WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS YOUNG SON NAMED TIMOTHY. AND HE

SITS DOWN TO WRITE A LETTER TO GET HIM BACK WHERE HE BELONGS,

BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE CONNECTED TO ONE ONE ANOTHER. YOU MAY BE

HUNDREDS OF MILES AND THOUSANDS OF MILES OR EVEN A CONTINENT

AWAY, BUT THERE IS NO DISTANCE IN THE SPIRIT FOR MANY THINGS.

AND YOU CAN PICK UP WHAT IS GOING ON, GOOD OR BAD, IN

SOMEONE'S LIFE WHOM YOU HAVE A DIVINE CONNECTION AND

RELATIONSHIP TO. HE GETS UP AND HE FINDS A PENCIL OR A PEN, A

PIECE OF PAPER, AND HE SITS DOWN IN HIS CELL TO WRITE A LETTER.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING HE CAN DO. AND PAUL STARTS OUT THIS LETTER

WITH A VERY POWERFUL BEGINNING. VERSE 1 SAYS, PAUL, AN APOSTLE

OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD AND ACCORDING TO THE

PROMISES OF GOD THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. THE APOSTLE PAUL

NEVER HAD AN IDENTITY CRISIS ONCE HE GOT IT SETTLED THAT GOD

HAD CALLED HIM AFTER HIS VISION. YOU CANNOT BE A STRONG LEADER

AND LEAD A CHURCH, A A NATION OR A GENERATION WITHOUT HAVING

INSIDE OF YOU A STRENGTH IN YOUR IDENTITY, NOT YOUR OCCUPATIONAL,

BUT WHO YOU ARE FIRST IN CHRIST MUST BE THE FOUNDATION BY WHICH

EVERYTHING ELSE SITS. TODAY WE HAVE IT BACKWARDS. WE'RE MORE

CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WE DO THAN WHO WE ARE. AND THAT'S WHY

FOOLISHNESS AND ERROR FINDS ITS PLACE INSIDE THE CHARISMATIC

CHURCH TODAY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT LISTENED TO THE SCRIPTURES

AND THEIR FATHERS AHEAD TO THEM THAT SAID, STOP THIS AND DO IT

THIS WAY. SO LET ME SAY TO YOU AGAIN, YOU MUST KNOW WHO YOU ARE

IN CHRIST SO STRONG THAT WHAT YOU DO DOES NOT VIBRATE UNDER

PERSECUTIONAL TIMES AND CONTRARY WINDS. THAT FOUNDATION IS THERE.

PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST. HOW DID HE BECOME AN

APOSTLE? BY THE WILL OF GOD. YOU CANNOT BECOME ANYTHING THAT GOD

DID NOT DESIRE. I DON'T CARE HOW MANY PROPHETS OF SAID IT, HOW

MANY PIZZA DREAMS YOU'VE HAD, HOW MANY OTHER THINGS,

ENCOUNTERS YOU MAY COUNT THAT IT WAS SOME TYPE OF COMMUNICATION.

IF GOD DID NOT WILL IT, YOU CANNOT BE IT. IF GOD DID NOT

WILL IT, YOU CANNOT BE IT. IF GOD DID NOT WILL IT, YOU CANNOT

BE IT. I DON'T CARE. LET ME SAY IT AGAIN. WHO TOLD YOU THAT? IF

GOD DID NOT WILL IT, YOU CANNOT IT. AND IF GOD WILLED IT, NOBODY

CAN STOP IT. NOBODY CAN KILL IT. NOBODY CAN END IT. IF GOD WILLED

SOMETHING, IT SHALL BE. PERIOD. I AM AN APOSTLE BY THE WILL OF

GOD. ONE WAY I DISCOVER HOW A NEW MOVE IS HAPPENING IS ALL THE

BUSINESS CARDS CHANGE THEIR TITLES. IN THE PAST MOVE,

EVERYBODY WAS A PROPHET. NOW EVERYBODY'S I'M RECOGNIZED AS AN

APOSTLE. SO WE'RE GOING TO LIVE THROUGH A LOT OF WANNABES THAT

AREN'T LIKE WE DID WITH THE PROPHETIC MOVEMENT. AND HE SAID,

I AM THIS BY THE WILL OF GOD. THE NUMBER ONE WAY YOU GET A

TITLE IS NOT BY GIVING YOURSELF A TITLE OR CALLING YOU

SOMETHING, OR SOMEBODY ELSE THAT YOU MAKE CALL YOU SOMETHING. BY

DOING WHAT YOU'RE CALLED TO DO, WE WHO OBSERVE BY DIVINE

OBSERVATION WILL OBSERVE WHAT YOU ARE AND SEE WHAT YOU ARE AND

CALL YOU WHAT YOU ARE. THAT IS THE WAY THAT A DIVINE TITLE IS

PROPERLY GIVEN IN THE SPIRIT AND IN THE NATURAL. IF YOU HAVE TO

CALL YOURSELF SOMETHING, THEN MOST LIKELY YOU ARE NOT. AND

PLEASE QUOTE ME ON THAT ONE. YEAH. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY.

I LIKE YOU, BUT I'M GOING TO BE STRONG WITH YOU. I REFUSE TO

PREACH IN A SISSY VOICE. GOD DEMANDS EVERY MINISTER TO PREACH

WITH A COMMAND FROM HIS OFFICE AND A COMMAND FROM GOD'S SPIRIT

IN HIM. THESE SISSY VOICES ARE FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEFT THE

DIVINE POSITIONING AND THE DIVINE POWER OF UTTERANCE TO

ACCOMMODATE THE EMOTIONS OF MEN AND ACCOMMODATE THE CARNALITY OF

THE PRESENT DAY CHURCH. AND THAT IS WHY A STRONG VOICE LIKE

YOU'VE HEARD THIS WEEK MAKES SOME PEOPLE MAD, EVEN YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING ME. THEY DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE WHEN THERE'S A

COMMANDING PREACHING, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN MOVE AWAY FROM

IT. IT STANDS AND IT BOMBARDS YOU, AND IT MAKES YOU FACE THE

REALITY OF WHAT IS BEING SAID AND WHETHER YOU'RE RIGHT OR

WRONG WITH IT. AND RIGHT NOW, GOD IS TRYING TO FIX THINGS IN

THIS COUNTRY PROPHETICALLY AND APOSTOLICALLY SO THAT WHICH HAS

BEEN PROPHESIED CAN COME TO PASS. BUT THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE

NOT WILLING TO MAKE CHANGES BECAUSE THEIR EGO IS BIGGER THAN

THEIR DESIRE TO OBEY THE CALL OF GOD PROPERLY. PROPERLY OBEYING

GUARANTEES A GOOD FINISH. THE OTHER WAY AROUND MEANS A GOOD

RISE AND A DISAPPEARANCE. MY GRANDMOTHER CALLED THEM ROCKET

PREACHERS. THEY ZOOM UP AND THEY EXPLODE LIKE FOURTH OF JULY. AND

WHILE WE'RE ALL GOING, WOW, THEY'RE FADING. AND WE DO NOT

WANT A GENERATION THAT IS COMING NOW TO BE ROCKET PREACHERS. WE

WANT TO BE THEM THAT ARE STABLE, STEADFAST, AND WE ARE THERE

THROUGH ANY KIND OF STORM OR ANY KIND OF FLATTERY. PAUL, AN

APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD, ACCORDING TO THE

PROMISES THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS AND OUR FATHER GOD. THERE

ARE 3 KINDS OF PROMISES YOU DEAL WITH IN LIFE AND MINISTRY.

NUMBER 1, MAKE NOTES WHEN I TALK. DON'T LOOK AT ME. MAKE

NOTES. I SAID WRITE NOTES. I NEED TO SEE THAT OUT THERE. I'M

NOT AN ENTERTAINER. I'M A TEACHER AND A TRAINER. GOOD

EVENING, AFTERNOON. SEE, THAT MADE YOU ALL NERVOUS RIGHT

THERE. YOU USED TO TAKE NOTES WHEN YOU PREACH. NOW YOU JUDGE

IT. IF YOU'LL TAKE NOTES, IT MIGHT GET IN YOU. THE FIRST KIND

OF PROMISE YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IS THE PROMISE THAT YOU'RE MADE,

MADE TO YOU BY A PERSON NEVER INTO INTENDED ON KEEPING IT. IF

YOU LAUNCH INTO MINISTRY BASED ON PEOPLE'S PROMISES AND YOU'RE

SURROUNDED BY THOSE WHO JUST SAY THINGS, WHO NEVER INTENDED ON

KEEPING THE PROMISE, DISCOURAGEMENT AND WOE WILL COME

TO YOU. THE SECOND KIND OF PROMISE THAT COMES TO YOU WHEN

YOU'RE LIVING LIFE IN MINISTRY IS THOSE WHO MAKE A PROMISE, WHO

INTEND TO KEEP IT, BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE NATURAL WHERE

THEY CANNOT KEEP THEIR PROMISE EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE HIS

INTENTION WAS TO KEEP IT. AND IF YOU BASE YOUR LIFE ON THOSE KIND

OF PROMISES, YOU'LL ALWAYS COME UP SHORT, LATE, AND FRUSTRATED.

BUT PAUL SAID, "I LIVE OUT MY APOSTOLIC CALL THAT GOD WILLED

FOR ME TO HAVE BY THE PROMISES OF GOD THAT ARE IN CHRIST

JESUS." HE BASED HIS LIFE ON GOD'S PROMISES THAT HAVE ALWAYS

COME TO PASS ON TIME, AND GOD HAS NEVER MET A CIRCUMSTANCE,

PERSONALITY, OR A DEVIL THAT HE CANNOT CONQUER TO KEEP HIS

PROMISE TO YOU. PAUL, THE APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST, BY THE

WILL OF GOD, ACCORDING TO THE PROMISES OF LIFE THAT ARE IN

CHRIST JESUS. VERSE 2, TO TIMOTHY, MY DEARLY BELOVED SON.

NOW NOTICE THE WORDS THAT HE CHOOSES. MY, MY, THAT LITTLE

WORD THERE, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO BIOLOGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN

THEM TWO, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING STRONGER THAN BIOLOGY.

THERE IS A SPIRITUAL CAPACITY OF FATHERS AND MOTHERS AND

DAUGHTERS AND SONS THAT CAN SUPERSEDE THE BIOLOGICAL LAWS OF

SONS AND FATHERS. MANY OF THE GREAT GENERALS' SONS GREW ANGRY

AT THE SPIRITUAL SONS OF THEIR FATHERS BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSER

TO THEIR DAD THAN THEY WERE, NOT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DO IT.

THEY WOULD NOT PAY THE PRICE TO DO THAT. THE DOOR FOR THE

BIOLOGICAL IS THERE, BUT SOMETIMES THE BIOLOGICAL AND THE

KNOWING THINGS AND THE NATURAL, CAUSE PEOPLE NOT TO LISTEN AND

TO RESPOND AND TO MOVE CORRECTLY. WHEN YOU'RE AROUND

GREATNESS, AND ONE OF THEM HAS TO BE YOUR PARENT BIOLOGICALLY,

PLEASE LEARN HOW TO FOLLOW WHEN THEY CHANGE HATS AND NOT GET

MAD. GOOD PREACHING, BROTHER ROBERTS. AMEN. SOME ARE ALL

SONS, WE'RE ALL GRUMPY BECAUSE WE SONS OF HIS SPIRITUAL LOINS

WERE CLOSER TO HIM THAN HIS BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN. NOT BECAUSE

THEY COULDN'T HAVE IT. THEY LOOKED LIKE HIM. THEY TALKED

LIKE HIM, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PURSUE

ALL THE WAY BEYOND THE BIOLOGICAL INTO THE PERSON THAT

HE WAS IN THE SPIRIT. PAUL SAID TO TIMOTHY, I WRITE THIS LETTER

TO TIMOTHY, MY DEARLY BELOVED SON. TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, TERMS

OF FAMILY. AND THEN HE SPEAKS 3 THINGS OVER HIM: GRACE, MERCY,

AND PEACE. OUT OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HE COULD HAVE SPOKE, WHY

DID HE SPEAK THESE 3 THINGS? FIRST, HE SAID, I SPEAK GRACE

OVER YOU. GRACE HAS GOT A CHEAPENED IDEA TODAY. MAINLY WE

TALK ABOUT GRACE WHEN WE'RE WEAK. HIS GRACE IS GRACE IS

SUFFICIENT, AND WE USE THAT VERSE TO HAVE A LIFE OF WEAKNESS

THERE, WHEN GRACE COVERS YOU AND HELPS YOU WHILE YOU'RE GETTING

RID OF THE WEAKNESS, NOT BUILDING A HOUSE FOR IT TO LIVE

IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE. GRACE HELPS YOU WHILE WEAKNESS IS BEING

REMOVED FROM YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE NO-AMENS ON THAT POINT. BUT

THERE'S ANOTHER SIDE TO GRACE THAT I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR

ATTENTION. THE BIBLE HE SAYS IN ROMANS, WHERE THERE IS SIN,

GRACE DOES MUCH MORE ABOUND. IT HAS ABOUNDING POWER TO IT. IT'S

NOT JUST A SIMPLE BAND-AID THAT HELPS YOU THROUGH A TOUGH

SEASON, BUT THERE IS A SIDE TO GRACE THAT WHEN YOU FACE THE

PRINCIPALITIES AND THE DARKNESS OF YOUR CALL AND YOUR DESTINY,

THERE COMES AN ABOUNDING SIDE TO THE GRACE OF GOD THAT MANY OF

YOU MANY OF YOU PASTORS NEED TO UNDERSTAND, SIDE IN, FALL OVER

INTO THE GRACE OF GOD THAT ABOUNDS MUCH MORE, NOT JUST

SURVIVAL, NOT JUST TO GET YOUR BUILDING FULL, BUT TO TAKE YOUR

CITY, TO TAKE YOUR STATE. THERE'S AN ABOUNDING SIDE TO

GRACE THAT TAKES NATIONS. AND WE NEED THAT HERE IN NORTH AMERICA.

WHOA! YOU'RE AWFUL QUIET TO BE SO LOUD 20 MINUTES AGO. AND

YOU'RE STILL NOT WRITING NOTES. THAT'S JUST THE FIRST 2 VERSES.

PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD, ACCORDING TO

THE PROMISES THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, I WRITE TO MY SON

TIMOTHY. HE'S MY DEARLY BELOVED YOU'RE GOD'S SON. AND I SPEAK

OVER YOU GRACE THAT ABOUNDS WHERE THERE IS SIN AND DARKNESS.

TIMOTHY, IT ABOUNDS MUCH MORE. STAY IN THE GRACE OF GOD AND

WIN. LEAVE THE GRACE OF GOD AND LOSE. GRACE, MERCY. MERCY IS NEW

EVERY MORNING BECAUSE WE MAXED IT OUT YESTERDAY. AREN'T WE GLAD

THAT MERCY, IT IS NEW. IT IS NEW. IT IS NEW EVERY MORNING.

OH, HALLELUJAH. IT IS NEW EVERY MORNING. IT DON'T MATTER THE

WEATHER OR THE NEWS REPORT. MERCY OVER YOUR LIFE IS NEW

EVERY SINGLE MORNING THAT YOU COME ALIVE. OH, HALLELUJAH.

GRACE, MERCY. AND HE SPOKE PEACE IS BECOMING A VERY VALUABLE

QUALITY OF CHRISTIAN LIFE. DISTURBANCE IS EVERYWHERE. THE

DISTURBANCE IS SO BAD THAT WE HAVE NEW BEHAVIOR DISORDERS.

DISTURBANCE IS SO BAD THAT MEN THAT USED TO BE STRONG LOOK LIKE

LITTLE BABIES NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THEM. THERE'S

A PEACE. FROM GOD THAT LETS YOU STAND IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS, IN

THE MIDST OF OPPOSITION, IN THE MIDST OF MISUNDERSTANDING, AND

BE PERFECTLY AT PEACE AND STABLE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM. THE

PEACE IS SO STRONG THAT THE TEARS OF CONFUSION WILL NOT

COME. BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS WILL NOT APPROACH AND ATTACH

THEMSELVES TO YOU. THERE'S A PEACE OF OF GOD THAT PASSES

UNDERSTANDING, THAT KEEPS YOU STABLE IN ALL YOUR WAYS. AND

PAUL DECLARES THOSE THREE THINGS OVER HIS SON. THERE WAS A

PROBLEM WITH TIMOTHY. I PICTURED IN MY OWN MIND THIS WAY:

SOMETHING WAS GOING ON WITH HIM THAT MADE HIM LEAVE THE HIGH

CALL AND MOVE INTO THE MEDIUM OR TO THE LOW CALL. IF THERE'S A

HIGH CALLING, THEN THERE'S A MEDIUM PART TO THAT CALL. IF

THERE'S A MEDIUM PART, THERE'S A LOW PART, THEN A NO PART. AND

MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THEY'RE BACKSLIDDEN WHILE

THEY'RE STILL IN THE MEDIUM AND THE LOW PART OF THEIR CALL.

THEY'VE TASTED THE HIGH CALL AND CALLED IT A SPECIAL VISITATION.

AND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LIFESTYLE THERE, NOT A

VISITATION. THE HIGH CALL OF GOD IS WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE

AND NOT NOT VISIT. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT GENERAL. THAT'S WHAT

MADE KATHRYN OR ROBERT SAYS. THEY WENT INTO THEIR

HIGH CALL AND REMAINED, WHERE MOST OF YOU VISIT IT ONCE A YEAR

AND WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT AND CALL IT A SPECIAL VISITATION,

WHEN IT SHOULD BE YOUR LIFESTYLE. AND PAUL KNEW TIMOTHY

HAD STEPPED OUT OF THIS HIGH CALLING AND HAD BEGUN TO COME

DOWN THE LADDER OF THE CALL TO THE MEDIUM, TO THE LOW. AND HE

WANTED TO GET THERE, SO HE WENT TO THE NO, OR I WALK AWAY. HE

SAYS IN THE THIRD VERSE, I THANK GOD THAT WHAT I'VE DONE, I'VE

DONE OUT OF A PURE CONSCIENCE. I WAS NOT A MAN THAT CAME WITH

ALTERNATIVE MOTIVES. I DID WHAT I DID, EVEN WHEN I WAS WRONG,

OUT OF A PURITY OF MY HEART AND THOUGHT. BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW,

TIMOTHY, WITHOUT CEASING, I HAVE REMEMBRANCE OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS

NIGHT AND DAY. SO THAT'S WHY I SAY TO YOU, PAUL WAS CONNECTED

TO TIMOTHY AND SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT. NIGHT AND DAY, TIMOTHY

CAME UP IN HIS SPIRIT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, HE'D WAKE

UP AND TIMOTHY WAS THERE. HE SAID, I HAVE REMEMBRANCE OF YOU

NIGHT AND DAY IN MY PRAYERS. IF YOU'RE A SPIRITUAL PARENT,

YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO BE ABLE TO PICK UP AND PRAY FOR YOUR

CHILDREN. YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO SEE YOUR SPIRITUAL CHILDREN.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE PARENTS. YOU ARE A PART OF A NETWORK OF

SLAVERY, NOT THE RIGHT TYPE OF MINISTERIAL HELP IN YOUR LIFE.

AND THERE'S AN AWAKENING COMING IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THIS

APOSTOLIC RESTORATION BECAUSE MEN HAVE PUT THEMSELVES UP AS

GREAT SPIRITUAL FATHERS AND ALL THEY WANT IS A NAME AND A CHECK.

THEY DON'T WANT TO PICK UP THE PRAYER BURDEN TO PRAY FOR THEIR

SPIRITUAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND PRAY THEM THROUGH AND TAKE CARE

OF THEM. THEY WANT A NAME AND A LIST. AND APOSTOLIC GIFTS ARE

NOT WORRIED ABOUT NAMES AND LISTS. THEY'RE ABOUT FRUIT AND

CHARACTER AND WINNING AND MAKING IT TO THE END OF YOUR CALL AND

THE END OF YOUR LIFE. YOU FINISH IT WELL. WHOA! YOU FINISH IT

WELL IN JESUS' NAME. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO WAKE UP AND

REALIZE THEY'VE SUBMITTED THEMSELVES TO PEOPLE WHO IS NOT

NO MORE THAN A MASTER OF SLAVERY OR AN ELDER BROTHER THAT IS FULL

OF JEALOUSY. AND YOU MUST FIND THE FATHERS AND THE MOTHERS WHO

WILL WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND CARRY YOU AND KNOW

BY THE SPIRIT WHAT'S UP. HE SAID, NIGHT AND DAY, IN THE

NIGHT AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY, YOU COME TO ME. I'VE BEEN

PRAYING I'M PRAYING FOR YOU. VERSE 4, I WANT TO SEE YOU. IF

YOU HAVE A CHILD, YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR CHILD. IF YOU'RE A

SPIRITUAL PARENT, YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO BE WITH YOUR

SPIRITUAL KIDS. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO JUST, OH, NOT THEM.

YOU LOVE YOUR KIDS. YOU WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM. YOU'RE

GLAD THAT THEY COME. AND THESE APOSTOLIC FATHERS HAVE TO

REALIZE IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A REAL ONE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

TO LOVE THESE PEOPLE ENOUGH TO GO TO THEIR HOUSES, TO GO TO

THEIR GO TO THEIR RESCUE, GO THERE AND HELP LAUNCH THEM AND

BE THERE WHEN NOBODY ELSE IS THERE. THE ULTIMATE SIGN OF A

SPIRITUAL FATHER, YOU'RE WILLING TO WEAR THE MUD OF THEIR

MISTAKES UPON YOUR DRESS AND UPON YOUR SUIT. IF YOU CAN'T

WEAR THE MISTAKES OF YOUR SPIRITUAL CHILDREN, THEN YOU'RE

NOT A PARENT. SO SHUT UP AND QUIT CALLING YOURSELF ONE. GOOD

PREACHING, BROTHER ROBERTS. AMEN. OH, RABBI-

SPEAKING IN TONGUES. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. MAKES ME FEEL

BETTER AND PREACH BETTER. AMEN. HE SAID, HEY, I WANT TO SEE YOU.

I'M MINDFUL OF YOUR TEARS, AND MY JOY MAY BE FULL. HE SAID, I

KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE MY JOY IS NOT RIGHT. MY JOY IS

NOT AT THE LEVEL IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. AND HE GOES, I WANT TO BE

WITH YOU, BUT I CAN'T COME BECAUSE I'M IN JAIL. I DON'T

HAVE A PHONE. I DON'T HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE. I'M STUCK IN

ANCIENT TIMES. I HAVE TO WRITE A LETTER, AND I'M TRUSTING THAT

GOD WILL HELP ME SAY THE RIGHT WORDS, THAT WHEN YOU READ THIS,

THE SPIRIT IN WHICH I'M WRITING IT IN WILL COME ALIVE OFF THIS

PAGE AND CAPTURE YOU AND PUT YOU BACK WHERE YOU BELONG. I WANT TO

SEE YOU. IF I WAS THERE, I'D I'D GRAB YOU, I'D HUG YOU, AND I'D

CAST THE DEVIL OUT OF YOU. SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO HAVE A GOOD

OLD-FASHIONED DELIVERANCE IN YOUR LIFE. AND I KNOW, IS IT IN

ME OR ON ME? THE POINT IS, DID THE DEVIL LEAVE? IS THE POINT,

NOT WHAT WAS IT IN YOU OR ON YOU. SO SHUT UP THAT STUPIDITY

AND GET FREE. NOW NOTICE HOW YOU'RE NOT CLAPPING TOO MUCH.

SOME OF YOU GOT DEVILS. NEVER GET AN AMEN ON THAT. I'M COMING

DOWN WHERE I CAN ATTACK YOU. YEARS AGO, DELIVERANCE BECAME A

BIG THING. AND IT ALWAYS HAPPENS THAT PEOPLE GET IN DELIVERANCE

AND DO WEIRD THINGS. AND THEN BACK TO WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, THEY

WERE ALL FUSSING. WELL, YOU TOLD ME I HAD DEVILS. WELL, CAN A

CHRISTIAN HAVE A DEVIL? NOT IN THEIR SPIRIT, BUT IN THEIR HEAD

AND THEIR BODY THEY CAN. AND SOME OF YOUR HEADS ARE REALLY

MESSED UP, AND YOU'RE DOING ALL YOUR CONFESSION, AND WHAT YOU

NEED IS A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED COME OUT AND A DELIVERANCE ON

YOUR HEAD, AND YOU'LL BE BETTER. AND SOME OF YOU NEED THAT AND

QUIT HIDING BEHIND THESE LITTLE A CHRISTIAN THINKS, WELL, I

DON'T THINK YOU CAN HAVE A DEVIL. YOU GOT TWO, ONE FOR DAY

AND ONE FOR NIGHT. AND GOD WANTS YOU TO BE FREE SO YOU CAN ENJOY

YOUR LIFE, OBEY HIM WITHOUT FEAR, AND LOVE PEOPLE WHETHER

THEY LIKE YOU OR NOT. DEVILS ARE ALL DEFEATED. THEY HAVE TO LEAVE

EVERY CHRISTIAN, EVERY CHURCH. SOMETIMES THE BEST CHURCH MEMBER

IS A DEMON. THEY COME EARLY, PARTICIPATE IN EVERYTHING, AND

LEAVE LATE. IF YOU DON'T MAKE THE DEVIL OBEY YOU, YOU'LL END

UP OBEYING HIM. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE THE DEVIL OBEY YOU IN

JESUS' NAME, YOU WILL END UP OBEYING HIM IN SOME WAY. CHRIST

HAS GIVEN YOU ALL POWER OVER ALL DEVILS. LUKE 9:1, ALL DEVILS,

Luke 9:1

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, THE LITTLE SQUINTY DEVILS AND THE

BIG PRINCIPALITIES PRINCIPALITY DEVILS. EVERY DEVIL. EVERY

DEVIL. EVERY DEVIL. EVERY DEVIL. EVEN UGANDAN DEVILS. HE GAVE YOU

POWER OVER ALL OF THEM. I WAS IN A SERVICE WITH A BUNCH OF

PASTORS, AND THE PREACHER WAS DEFENDING THE PRINCIPALITY. WE

DON'T FIGHT HIM. HE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE HERE. I'M THINKING,

SHUT UP, YOU CRAZY PREACHER! THE PRINCE IS TALKING THROUGH YOU.

HE GAVE US POWER OVER ALL DEVILS, ONE THAT MAY BE

AFFLICTING YOU OR OUT THERE IN THAT CITY. YOU HAVE POWER. IT'S

TIME THAT YOU USE IT. OH, YOU GOT TO USE IT. IF YOU DO NOT

MAKE THE DEVIL OBEY YOU IN JESUS' NAME, HE WILL COME INTO

YOUR HOUSE AND COME INTO YOUR CHURCH, KEEP YOU SMALL AND

BROKE. HE DOESN'T WANT TO REALLY DESTROY THE CHURCH. HE ONLY

DESTROYS THE CHURCH WHEN HE CAN'T CONTROL THE PASTOR. IF HE

CAN CONTROL THE PASTOR AND THE ELDER SHIP, THEN HE'LL KEEP IT

ALIVE BECAUSE THE BEST DECEPTION IN TOWN IS A CHURCH THE DEVIL

CONTROLS THAT THEY ALL THINK THEY'RE FREE. AND HE'LL GIVE

THAT CHURCH AN INFLUENCE ABOUT A BLOCK OR TWO AROUND THE CHURCH

OR SO, AND THEY'LL THINK THEY'RE GOOD AND HE'LL LET YOU HAVE GOOD

SERVICES INSIDE. HE'LL LET THE GLORY COME DOWN AND ALL THAT.

BUT AS SOON AS YOU CROSS A CERTAIN BARRIER, HE'LL HIT YOU.

AND MOST CHURCHES ARE CONTROLLED BY THE PRINCE IS UNDER

PRINCIPALITY AND DOES NOT KNOW IT. THEY DON'T KNOW IT. PAUL, AN

APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD, ACCORDING TO THE

PROMISES OF GOD THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, TO TIMOTHY, MY

DEARLY BELOVED SON, GRACE, MERCY, AND PEACE BE UNTO YOU

FROM OUR FATHER AND FROM JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. I'M GLAD I

SERVE GOD WITH A PURE YOUR CONSCIENCE. BUT I, I AM BOTHERED

WITH YOU NIGHT AND DAY. I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR YOU, BEING

REMINDED OF YOU AND YOUR SITUATION. I WOULD LOVE TO BE

THERE IN PERSON SO I CAN LOOK IN YOUR EYES AND YOU CAN LOOK IN

MINE. YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE AND MY PRESENCE AND WHAT I CARRY.

AND I'D GRAB YOU AND PICK YOU UP OUT OF THAT AND SPEAK WORDS THAT

YOU HAVE TO HEAR AND FEEL IMPARTATIONS THAT YOU HAVE TO

GET A HOLD OF. I'D BRING IT TO YOU. I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT. I

KNOW YOU'VE BEEN CRYING. I'M MINDFUL OF YOUR CONDITION

BECAUSE MY JOY IS AFFECTED BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A DIFFICULT

SITUATION, AND I'M COMING TO YOUR RESCUE. NOW THAT'S JUST THE

FIRST 4 VERSES. NEXT VERSE. I WANNA REMIND YOU. WHY DO YOU

HAVE TO BE REMINDED? BECAUSE YOU FORGET. YOU FORGET THINGS

SOMETIMES BECAUSE YOU GET CAUGHT UP WITH OTHER THINGS AND YOU

DON'T MEAN TO FORGET. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO BE REMINDED. ONE OF

THE GREAT JOBS OF THE PASTOR IS THE REMINDER PART OF THE GOSPEL.

PASTORS, DON'T EVER BE ASHAMED TO KEEP SERVING REMINDER FOOD TO

YOUR CONGREGATION. DON'T LOOK AT US AS TRAVELING GYPSIES GUEST.

WE CARRY OTHER TYPES OF RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT YOU CARRY

THAT DAILY REMINDER FOOD OF HOW TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE AND

BE SPIRIT-LED AND WALK IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WALK WITH THE

GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT AND THE FRUITS. YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP THAT

HIGH IN YOUR CHURCH AND DON'T EVER FEEL LIKE YOU'RE A LOWER

CLASS BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT A SPECIALTY TRUTH MINISTRY THAT

CARRIES A CERTAIN TYPE OF WORD OR CERTAIN TYPE OF ANOINTING FOR

A SEASON. YOU'RE IMPORTANT. REMEMBER THIS, PASTORS, WE CAN

LOSE EVERY MEGACHURCH IN AMERICA AND WE'LL STAY CHRISTIAN. BUT IF

WE LOSE OUR SMALL CHURCHES AND OUR MEDIUM CHURCHES AND JUST

KEEP THE MEGACHURCHES, AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY IS GONE WITHIN A

YEAR. SO I WANT OUR PASTORS HERE AND THEN THAT ARE WATCHING ME.

I'M GLAD FOR THE MEGACHURCHES. I BUILT ONE. I'M GLAD THEY'RE OUT

THERE, BUT I WANT YOU THAT DON'T HAVE DON'T FEEL INADEQUATE OR

FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. YOU'RE HOLDING

THE FOUNDATIONS OF THIS COUNTRY TO THE GOSPEL TRUTH AND THE

POWER OF THE CROSS AND THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. YOU'RE

HOLDING. SO KEEP PREACHING, GET LOUDER, GET WILDER. AND IF

YOU'RE GOING TO GET PERSECUTED, GO FIRST CLASS. IF YOU'RE GOING

TO GET PERSECUTED, JUST GO HAVE A GOOD TIME. WHY SUFFER? SUFFER.

GIVE HIM A LOT TO PERSECUTE YOU ON. AND HE SAYS, I REMIND YOU,

TIMOTHY, OF THE UNFEIGNED OR THE GREAT FAITH THAT IS IN YOU. WHEN

YOU'RE ATTACKED BY THE DEVIL, THE FIRST THING HE FIGHTS IS

YOUR FAITH, BECAUSE IN CHRISTIANITY, YOUR FAITH IS HOW

EVERYTHING WORKS. YOU GOT SAVED BY FAITH. YOU HEAR GOD BY FAITH.

YOU GIVE AND RECEIVE BY FAITH. EVERYTHING IS DONE BY OUT OF

FAITH. AND THE DEVIL CAN GET YOU INTO LOGIC AND OUT OF FAITH,

INTO SKILL OVER DIVINE ANOINTING AND MOVE YOU OUT OF FAITH. HE'S

WON. AND PAUL KNEW THE BATTLE THAT HIS SON WAS FACING, AND HE

HAD TO GET HIS SON BACK INTO THE SPIRIT OF FAITH, THE PRINCIPLE

OF FAITH, AND THE VOICE OF FAITH. HE SAID, I WANT TO REMIND

YOU WHERE YOUR FAITH CAME FROM. YOUR FAITH CAME FROM TWO GRITTY

WOMEN, LOIS AND EUNICE, MOM AND GRANDMA. YOUR FAITH, TIMOTHY,

CAME FROM YOUR MAMA AND YOUR GRANDMA. WHERE'D YOUR FAITH COME

FROM? I'M LIKE TIMOTHY IN MY LIFE. MY PARENTS WERE DIVORCED

WHEN I WAS 5 5 YEARS OLD. MY GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDPA WERE

ASSEMBLIES OF GOD PREACHERS. GRANDPA DIED WHEN I WAS A YEAR

OLD AND GRANDMA KEPT PASTORING THE CHURCH. AND WE WERE IN

TULSA. MY MOTHER WAS GOING TO ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY AND SHE

CALLED AFTER MY FATHER LEFT AND SAID, I NEED YOU TO COME HELP ME

RAISE ROBERTS AND MY SISTER PRISCILLA WHILE I FINISH MY

COLLEGE DEGREE, BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO BE THE PROVIDER AS WELL

AS THE MOM. SO IT TOOK HER 8 YEARS TO DO A 4-YEAR COLLEGE AT

ORU. SHE FINALLY ENDED UP HAVING 2 MASTERS AND A DOCTORATE BEFORE

SHE FINISHED HER EDUCATION. SHE'S A BRILLIANT MIND. SHE

COULD RUN THE GOVERNMENT AND MAKE THEM PAY THEIR BILLS ON

TIME. SHE'S VERY GOOD. SHE HELPED ME SO MUCH IN MY LIFE, MY

MINISTRY. SHE HELPED ME RUN IT FOR 37 YEARS. SHE DIED 5 YEARS

AGO. SO EVERYTHING I WAS UNTIL 5 YEARS AGO WAS BECAUSE OF ME AND

MY MOM WORKING TOGETHER. NOW I I COME FROM TWO GRITTY WOMEN, NOT

THESE LITTLE SOCIALITE WOMEN. I DIDN'T COME FROM PRIMA DONNAS.

MY GRANDPARENTS AND MOM WERE COUNTRY FOLK FROM NORTH

CAROLINA. THEY PREACHED ON SUNDAY AND RAISED TOBACCO DURING

THE WEEK, AND THEY PREACHED AGAINST TOBACCO ON SUNDAY. HOW

DOES THAT WORK? YOU KNOW, YOU RAISE ACRES AND ACRES OF TOBACCO

AND YOU PREACH AGAINST IT ON SUNDAY, BUT WELCOME TO COUNTRY

PREACHING PENTECOSTALISM BACK IN THE SOUTH. IT WAS THE CROP OF

THAT TERRITORY IS WHAT IT WAS. AND, UM, MY GRANDMOTHER SAID—

SHE, SHE SAID, I PRAYED. SHE'S ONE OF THOSE THAT PRAYS ABOUT

EVERYTHING, FOR HER TO EAT, WHAT TO BUY. SHE PRAYS LIKE THAT. SHE

SAID, I PRAYED AND THEN ASKED GOD, AM I SUPPOSED TO GO TO

TULSA AND HELP CAROL, HER DAUGHTER, AND ME AND MY SISTER?

THE LORD SAID, IF YOU'LL I SAID, "YOU'LL GO AND TAKE CARE OF

THOSE 2 KIDS WITH YOUR DAUGHTER. THEY'LL WIN MORE SOULS THAN THIS

WHOLE CHURCH WILL IN THEIR LIFE." SHE SAID, "I DIDN'T HAVE

TO PRAY AGAIN." SHE PACKED HER BAGS AND MOVED TO TULSA. AND

GRANDMA DIDN'T QUIT PREACHING OR PASTORING. SHE JUST HAD A

SMALLER CONGREGATION OF 2 PEOPLE, ME AND MY SISTER. AND

SHE PREACHED AT BREAKFAST, SHE PREACHED AT LUNCH, SHE PREACHED

AT DINNER, SHE PREACHED ON THE WAY TO BED AND TURNED ON A HAGIN

TAPE WHEN YOU WENT TO SLEEP. THAT'S HOW I GREW UP. THAT'S WHY

I'M THE WAY I AM. I CAN'T HELP MYSELF. I WAS MADE LIKE THIS.

AND I'M GLAD OF HOW I GOT PUT TOGETHER. I DIDN'T COME FROM

NICEY-NICE FOLKS. I CAME FROM RAW FOLKS THAT GET THE JOB DONE.

AND THAT'S KIND OF LIKE TIMOTHY'S MOM AND GRANDMA'S

LIKE. LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN PAUL CAME TO TOWN, THEY INVITED HIM

OVER TO DINNER. THEY WEREN'T SCARED TO BE SEEN WITH PAUL, THE

MOST CONTROVERSIAL MAN AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY. HE WAS ALWAYS

BEING BEAT UP AND GOING TO JAIL. THEY LOVED HIM. TIMOTHY WAS A

YOUNG BOY AND SAW PAUL AT THE DINNER TABLE AND THE BREAKFAST

TABLE WHEN HE WAS IN TOWN. AND LIKE, HEY, AND TIMOTHY WOULD

SAY, WHERE'D THAT SCAR COME FROM? WHERE'D THAT SCAR COME

FROM? AND PAUL WOULD SIT THERE AND BEGIN TO TRAIN THE YOUNG MAN

THAT WOULD BECOME HIS SPIRITUAL SON. YOU TRAIN PEOPLE, MY

FRIEND, BY TELLING STORIES TO THE YOUNG. YOUR CARTOONS, ALL

THE THINGS YOU'RE DOING, YOU'RE— SOME OF YOU THAT ARE OLD, YOU

KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU ACT LIKE YOU'RE NOT OLD, BUT YOU ARE. I'M

60 AND I DON'T LIKE THAT NUMBER EITHER, SO I GET IT. I THINK 60

IS A DEMONIC NUMBER. I'VE BEEN RESISTING, BUT IT'S STILL

COMING. OLD PEOPLE GIVE THINGS TO THE YOUNG THROUGH THEIR

STORIES. AND WHEN YOU'RE OLD, TELL THEM. OH, HAND OVER UNTIL

THE BLIND BAT GETS IT. UNTIL THAT SEED IN YOUR FAMILY MOVES

INTO THE NEXT GENERATION. GRANDMA TOLD ME STORIES OF MY

BIBLE SCHOOL, WAS COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND WALKING A MILE

EVERY DAY. SHE LIKED TO EXERCISE. SHE'D TELL ME STORIES

AND WE'D READ THE BIBLE. WE'D PRAY OUT LOUD. THERE'S NO QUIET

PRAYING IN OUR FAMILY BECAUSE HEAVEN IS NOT QUIET. QUIET. DEAD

RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE. IF YOU GO TO A CHURCH AND IT'S QUIET, IT'S

CALLED DEAD. IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, IS MY CHURCH DEAD? YES. IF YOU

HAVE TO ASK, IT'S DEAD. YOU CAN LOOK AT ME AND KNOW THAT I'M

ALIVE. I'M TALKING. I'M ALIVE. I'M MAKING NOISE. I'M ALIVE. YOU

GO INTO A PLACE AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LIFE, IT'S DEAD, BABY.

HOW DO YOU LEAVE A DEAD CHURCH? LIKE THIS: ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF

THE OTHER AND DON'T DON'T LOOK BACK. PLEASE GO TO THE RIGHT

CHURCH. DON'T GO TO A DEAD, DUMB CHURCH. HEAR ME. SOME OF YOU

RIGHT NOW, YOU WATCHING ME, YOU'RE IN A DEAD, DUMB CHURCH.

NO WONDER YOUR CHILD THINKS THEY'RE A CAT. NO WONDER THEY

CAN'T FIGURE OUT IF THEY'RE A MAN OR A WOMAN. AND IT DOESN'T

TAKE A GIFT. LOOK DOWN AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE. HEY, OUR

SPIRITUAL FATHERS ARE ALL DEAD NOW. THERE'S ONLY TWO MEN THAT

LED GREAT REVIVALS OF PAST STILL ALIVE. KENNETH COPELAND, GREAT

MAN OF GOD, NO MATTER WHAT THE INTERNET SAYS. I CAN'T BELIEVE,

HANK, I FOUND BOB MUMFORD. HE'S STILL ALIVE. NOW THAT'S AN OLD

MOVEMENT. WE'VE BEEN GOOD AND STARTED OUT RIGHT AND HAD A

LITTLE ISSUE AND THEY ALL REPENTED OF IT. SO WE RESPECT

THAT. BUT HE'S 90-SOME YEARS OLD AND BROTHER COPELAND'S ALMOST

90. THOSE ARE THE LAST TWO LEADERS OF PAST REVIVALS IN OUR

LIFE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU AND I? YOU'RE IT! ALL OF A

SUDDEN YOU'RE NO LONGER A SON, YOU BECOME A FATHER. YOU'RE NO

LONGER A FOLLOWER, YOU BECOME A LEADER BY WHICH IS BEING

FOLLOWED. AND THAT DAY IS COMING WHEN THE NEW GENERATION OF

GOVERNORS WHEN DELIVERANCE COMES, THEY MUST DECIDE TWO

THINGS. ONE, THE QUALITY OF THE GOSPEL THAT YOU'RE GOING TO

PREACH AND HOW YOU'RE GOING TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL AND SECURE

CHRISTIAN LAND. WE HAVE TO DECIDE THOSE TWO THINGS. AND I

AM THANKFUL TO GOD THAT THE SEEKER-FRIENDLY CRAP IS STARTING

TO DIE. BECAUSE YOU CANNOT WIN A NATION BY KISSING THE BUTT OF

RELIGION AND MAKING SINNERS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SAVED WHEN THEY'RE

NOT BORN AGAIN YET. YEAH, IT'S TIME THAT WE GET CONVERSION THAT

BRINGS A CHANGE THAT'LL CHANGE THE NATION. GOOD PREACHING,

BROTHER ROBERTS. TIMOTHY, I REMIND YOU WHERE YOUR FAITH CAME

FROM. IT CAME FROM TWO STRONG WOMEN. THAT'S WHERE MINE CAME

FROM. THEN HE SAID TO THEM, NEXT VERSE, HE REMINDS YOU OF A

SECOND THING. I REMIND YOU TO STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD THAT IS

IN YOU BY THE PUTTING ON OF MY HANDS. AFTER HE FIGHTS THE FAITH

TO GET YOU OUT OF FAITH, HE WANTS TO SHUT YOUR GIFT DOWN.

NOW, HE CAN'T TAKE IT FROM YOU, BUT HE CAN TRY TO SHUT IT DOWN

WHERE IT DON'T MOVE MUCH. IT BECOMES NOW A MEMORY, NOT A

PRESENT FORCE IN YOU. HE SAID, STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD THAT'S

IN YOU. HOW DO YOU STIR UP THE GIFT? ARE YOU THE SINGER GUY?

WELL, YOU LOOK THE SAME WITH THAT KIND OF HAIR. ALL RIGHT. I

DON'T KNOW. I I'M NEW HERE. I LIKE BOTH OF YOU. DON'T EVER BE

ASHAMED THAT YOU'RE A BLACK MAN. THIS IS THE DAY WHEN GOD IS

GOING TO HONOR THE MAN, THE BLACK MAN, THE BLACK WOMAN

THAT'LL LIVE RIGHT BEFORE HIM. HE WILL TAKE THEM TO THE HIGHEST

PLACES OF THIS NATION AND AT THE REVIVALS OF THE WORLD. BUT YOU

HAVE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. SO HE CAN

HONOR YOU ON A PUBLIC PLATFORM. REMEMBER THAT, MY FRIEND. TO

STIR UP YOUR GIFT, YOU FIRST GOT TO RECOGNIZE YOU GOT ONE. I

DON'T KNOW WHAT MY GIFT IS. YOU GOT ONE, SO SHUT UP AND START

PRAYING. GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ONE PERSON WITHOUT SOME TYPE OF

GIFT, TALENT THAT IS DIVINELY GIVEN GOD HAS GIVEN TO YOU. NOT

EVERYBODY AWAKENS TO IT. NOT EVERYBODY ADDS SKILL TO IT SO

IT'LL WORK. NOT EVERYBODY EVEN CARES ABOUT IT. BUT HE TOLD

TIMOTHY, STIR UP THE GIFT THAT'S INSIDE OF YOU. YOU GOT TO

RECOGNIZE YOU GOT ONE, AND THAT'S NOT PRIDE. THAT GOD IN

HIS KINDNESS HAS GIVEN UNTO YOU CERTAIN GIFTS. THE DEVIL'S GOING

TO TRY TO CONVINCE YOU, HE DON'T HAVE NOTHING. YOU CANNOT HAVE

YOUR PERSONAL SECURITY BASED ON PUBLIC TALK. PUBLIC OPINION YOU

GOT TO DIE TO RIGHT AFTER SIN. IF YOU GET DONE WITH SIN AND YOU

GET FORGIVENESS OF SIN, YOU NEED TO DIE OF PUBLIC OPINION.

BECAUSE IN ONE PLACE, PAUL, THEY MAKE HIM A GOD. IN THE NEXT

CHAPTER, THEY WANT TO KILL HIM. THAT'S CALLED PUBLIC PUBLIC

OPINION. THEY KISS YOU ON ONE CHEEK AND BITE YOU ON THE OTHER.

BOTH RED, BUT FOR TWO DIFFERENT REASONS. AND YOU GOT TO DIE TO

PUBLIC OPINION. AND IT'S HARD TO DIE TO THAT BECAUSE SOMETIMES

YOU THINK YOU'RE DEAD, BUT IT'S HIDING BEHIND YOUR LIVER OR BY

YOUR KIDNEY AND IT STAYS QUIET AND IT COMES BACK LATER. LIKE,

HELLO? WELL, EVERY TIME YOU FIND THAT FEAR OF WHAT MEN MAY SAY,

YOU HAVE TO PREACH EVERY SERMON LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST ONE. YOU GOT

TO PREACH EVERY SERMON LIKE THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'M GOING TO

PREACH. THAT'S THE ONLY GOOD PREACHING YOU CAN DO. YOU THINK

YOU GOT 100 YEARS, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PREACH THAT STRONG AND

THAT WILD AND THAT DESPERATE. I APPROACH EVERY SERMON LIKE THIS

IS THE LAST TIME YOU GET TO HEAR ME, THE LAST TIME I GET TO YELL

AT YOU, BECAUSE I GOT TO GET THROUGH 3 THINGS. I GOT TO GET

THROUGH THIS ATMOSPHERE, I GOT TO GET THROUGH YOUR HEAD, I GOT

TO GET THROUGH ALL OF YOUR HEAD. THAT SITS THERE. I'M TALKING TO

YOU. AND YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE THAT. I'M NOT PREACHING

WHETHER YOU LIKE ME OR NOT. I'M PREACHING BECAUSE I'M RIGHT. I'M

PREACHING BECAUSE I'M DECLARING THE WORD OF THE LORD TO YOU. AND

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS COME WITH THE THUS SAITH THE LORD. IT COMES

WITH A BOLD, STRONG TEACHING. AND HE TOLD TIMOTHY, STIR UP THE

GIFT OF GOD THAT'S INSIDE OF YOU. YOUR GIFT RESPONDS MAINLY

TO TWO VOICES. WRITE THIS DOWN. TWO VOICES, GOD'S VOICE AND YOUR

VOICE. MAINLY YOUR GIFT RESPONDS MAINLY TO GOD'S VOICE, WHICH IS

THE LOGOS AND THE RHEMA, AND YOUR VOICE. WHAT DO YOU TELL

YOUR GIFT? HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOUR GIFT TODAY? PROBABLY NOT. I

DON'T DO THAT. AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE WEAK AND GOOFY. THAT'S

WHY YOUR GIFT IS KIND OF FLUCTUATING. YOU GOT TO TELL IT

TO TO YOUR GIFT. WHAT DOES YOUR GIFT NEED TO HEAR? WHAT IT'S

SUPPOSED TO DO. TELL YOUR GIFT TO STAND UP AND MOVE IN JESUS'

NAME. I COMMAND THE GIFT OF GOD IN ME TO COME ALIVE, TO MOVE, TO

FLOW THROUGH ME, TO SPEAK AND TO MOVE IN JESUS' NAME. AND DON'T

TALK TO IT LIKE A LITTLE KINDERGARTEN GIRL. TALK TO IT

LIKE RAMBO. RAMBO! I GUESS THIS CROWD DOESN'T KNOW WHO RAMBO IS.

TALK TO THEM LIKE SOME OF THESE MILITARY MEN WHEN THEY'RE BEING

TRAINED BY THEIR TRAINING SERGEANT. A STRONG VOICE THAT

DOES NOT BOW TO EXPRESSION, TO TEARS OR SOUNDS OF EXHAUSTION. I

COMMAND THE GIFT IN ME. MOVE. HOW DO YOU STIR UP THE GIFT OF

GOD THAT'S INSIDE OF YOU? FIND BIBLE VERSES AND BIBLE STORIES

THAT MAKE YOUR GIFT GO, "HA!" NOT EVERY VERSE STIRS YOUR GIFT,

BUT EVERY VERSE WILL FEED YOU. EVERY VERSE WILL CORRECT YOU,

BUT NOT EVERY VERSE STIRS YOUR GIFT. WHAT SCRIPTURES

MAKE YOUR GIFT MOVE. I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING TWO GREAT

MEN I WANT TO TALK ABOUT JUST FOR A MOMENT HERE. ORAL ROBERTS

AND KENNETH HAGIN. I LOVE KENNETH HAGIN, AND I WANT TO

MAKE EVERY ONE OF YOU AND ALL YOU WATCHING HAGINITES. I WANT

EVERY ONE OF YOU TO READ EVERY ONE OF HIS BOOKS, LISTEN TO ALL

OF HIS TAPES, CDS, WHATEVER YOUTUBE, PUT THEM DOWN AND GET

OFF THE YOUTUBE IDIOTS THAT DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS AND HEAR IT

THE RIGHT WAY. I HEARD HIM PREACH MORE THAN ANY OTHER

PREACHER IN MY LIFE. I LIVED 3 MILES FROM BROTHER HAGIN'S

OFFICE AND THEN THE SCHOOL. I HEARD HIM PREACH MORE THAN ANY

OTHER PREACHER IN MY LIFE. MY PASTOR WAS NUMBER 2, HAGIN WAS

NUMBER 1. PLUS HE PREACHED TO ME EVERY NIGHT ON CASSETTE TAPES

FOR 25 YEARS. I WENT TO BED WITH HAGIN TAPES, ORAL TAPES, JERRY

WALKER TAPES, BUT MANY BROTHER HAGIN. OVER AND OVER AND

OVER. AND I FINALLY GOT IT. PRAISE THE LORD. IT TOOK ME A

WHILE TO GET IT. IT DIDN'T ALWAYS COME EASY. BUT I HAD THE

HONOR ONE TIME, TWICE, TO HAVE LUNCH WITH HIM, BROTHER HAGIN.

THE FIRST TIME I HAD LUNCH WITH HIM I WAS SCARED I DIDN'T KNOW

WHAT TO SAY TO HIM. I HAD SOME QUESTIONS AND THERE WAS ONLY

LIKE 4 OR 5 OF US. WE WERE GOING TO GO TO LUNCH AFTER ONE OF HIS

CRUSADES IN FLORIDA. ONE OF HIS FRIENDS, ONE OF HIS SPIRITUAL

DAUGHTERS, PATSY, SHE'S IN HEAVEN NOW, SAID, "COME AND HAVE

LUNCH WITH US." I SAID, "CAN I PLEASE?" WOO, IT'S WONDERFUL.

AND SO WE WENT AND WE THOUGHT WE'D GO TO A NICE RESTAURANT. WE

WENT TO HIS LITTLE HOTEL SUITE, WHICH IT WAS A LITTLE, BUT IT

WASN'T A SUITE. IT WAS JUST LIKE AN EXTRA ROOM, NOT MUCH BEAUTY

TO IT. AND THEY HAD A LITTLE REFRIGERATOR IN THERE. AND

ARETHA, HIS WIFE, FIXED US BOLOGNA SANDWICHES. I THOUGHT, I

WILL TAKE YOU ALL TO LUNCH IN A FANCY RESTAURANT. BUT THAT'S THE

WAY THEY WERE. THEY WERE NOT— EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE FAMOUS,

THIS IS WHO THEY WERE. THEY JUST WERE WHO THEY WERE. THAT'S THE

WAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE KINGDOM. YOU MAY BE KNOWN, BUT

JUST BE WHO YOU ARE IN HIM. AND DON'T DO STUPID STUFF. IF YOU

GET TOO WEIRD, GO BACK HOME AND DIG A DITCH AND TAKE CARE OF THE

COW MANURE AND YOU'LL GET HUMBLE AGAIN AND THEN GO BACK OUT AND

PREACH SOME MORE. YOU GOT TO LEARN HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF

HUMBLE. THANK YOU FOR THE 4 AMENS ON THAT. YOU ALL FULL OF

ARROGANCE IN HERE? AND SO I SAT DOWN AT THE LITTLE TABLE IN HIS

ROOM AND WE ATE AND I ASKED A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND ALL HE

DID WAS HIS ANSWERS WERE SCRIPTURES. I THOUGHT, CAN YOU

ELABORATE? I MEAN, I'M GLAD IT'S SCRIPTURE, BUT WHAT DOES THE

SCRIPTURE MEAN? HE DIDN'T DO NOTHING, JUST GAVE ME

SCRIPTURES. AND I THOUGHT, HE DON'T LIKE ME. SO I LEFT LUNCH

AND I WENT OUT IN THE HALLWAYS. I WAS LEAVING. I SAID TO PATSY,

I SAID, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK BROTHER HAGIN FELT COMFORTABLE

WITH ME. OH, THAT'S JUST THE WAY HE IS. HE IS. I SAID, OKAY,

WHATEVER. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR PERSONALITY. THEN I HAD ABOUT

ANOTHER, ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO LATER, I HAD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY

TO HAVE LUNCH WITH HIM AGAIN. AND I DECIDED I WANTED SOMETHING

DIFFERENT. NOT DISRESPECTFULLY, BUT I WANTED, I WANTED THE

PROPHET TO SPEAK, NOT JUST THE TEACHER TO GIVE ME A SCRIPTURE.

AND I HAD TO FIND SCRIPTURE TO TALK TO THAT GIFT. NOW I KNEW

HOW SCRIPTURES WILL MOVE PEOPLE'S GIFTS, AND SO I GOT IN

THE ROOM AND I SAT RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. THIS TIME I MADE SURE I GOT

AS CLOSE TO HIM WITHOUT BEING ON TOP OF HIM, AND I SIT NEXT TO

HIM AND I WAS RESPECTFUL, BUT I WAS POLITELY DETERMINED TO SHOOT

HIM FULL OF SCRIPTURES TO SEE IF I CAN GET HIS GIFT TO MOVE. SO I

THOUGHT, HE'S THE FAITH GUY, SO I TALKED ABOUT FAITH SCRIPTURES

AND FAITH THINGS AND IT DIDN'T WORK. AND SO I THOUGHT, WELL,

WE'LL, UH, WE'LL TRY SOME OTHER STUFF. WE'LL TRY. I THOUGHT,

WELL, YOU KNOW, HE'S ONE OF THOSE PROPHET PEOPLE. THEY'RE

ALWAYS IN OUTER SPACE OUT THERE SEEING, DOING STUFF. AND SO I

THOUGHT, WELL, CAUSE I WENT OVER AND USED THE HEALING ANOINTING

VERSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND HE GOT A LITTLE, A LITTLE BIT OF

RESPONSE, BUT NOT WHAT I I WAS LOOKING FOR. AND I SAID, BROTHER

HAGIN, HAVE YOU EVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE? I KNEW HE HAD, BUT

I'M GOING TO ACT STUPID. WHERE THE HAND OF THE LORD CAME ON YOU

AND LIFTED YOU UP INTO A VISION. YOU KNOW, LIKE EVEN LIKE WITH

SAMSON, THE SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD COME ON AT TIMES AND THEY ALL

KNEW. I SAID, WHAT'S THAT LIKE? AND IT BEGAN TO WORK. I FOUND

FOUND MY VERSES, AND I BEGAN TO SHOOT HIM WITH ALL THOSE

SPIRITUAL VISION, OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE VERSES I COULD THINK

OF, FLYING AT HIM. AND HE BEGAN TO MOVE IN THE SPIRIT THERE AT

THE TABLE. AND THE REASON WHY I TELL YOU THAT, BECAUSE CERTAIN

VERSES FEED AND MOVE YOUR GIFT. NOT ALL, SEARCH IT. NOW,

SCRIPTURE FEEDS YOU, CORRECTS YOU, ALL THAT. THAT'S ALL GOOD.

BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR GIFT? NOW, ORAL ROBERTS IS TOTALLY

DIFFERENT THAN BROTHER HAGIN. FALSE. BECAUSE THEY ALSO ARE IN

DIFFERENT OFFICES. BROTHER HAGIN WAS A PROPHET TEACHER, AND ORAL

ROBERTS WAS AN EVANGELIST, AND THAT WAS HIS DOMINANT GIFT. AND

I GREW UP IN ORAL, AROUND BROTHER ROBERTS, SO I WAS A

LITTLE MORE FAMILIAR BECAUSE MY NAME IS ROBERTS. Y'ALL WANT TO

KNOW HOW I GOT MY NAME? I'VE SPENT 60 YEARS EXPLAINING THE S

ON THE END OF MY MY MOM AND DAD WENT TO ORU THE FIRST YEAR THAT

IT OPENED, 1965. I WAS BORN IN '66, AND THEN MY PARENTS WERE

THE FIRST STUDENTS TO HAVE A BABY BOY, AND I WAS IT. AND ALL

OF THEM WANTED TO HELP NAME THE FIRST BABY BOY AND THE FIRST

BABY GIRL. SO I WAS THE BOY. SO MY NAME WAS KENNETH AFTER MY

FATHER, ROBERTS AFTER ORAL ROBERTS, AND MY SURNAME LIARDON.

AND SO NOW YOU ALL KNOW HOW MY NAME IS ROBERTS LIARDON,

OKAY? IT'S NOT A MISTAKE OR A TYPO. I LOVE MY NAME, BUT I'M

TIRED OF EXPLAINING THAT S. SO PLEASE DO IT FOR ME, OKAY? NOW,

BROTHER ROBERTS, I KNEW A LITTLE BIT BETTER BECAUSE I GREW UP

RUNNING THROUGH HIS HOUSE IN MY DIAPER. AND SO MY FAMILY KNEW

ORAL'S FAMILY FOR 3 GENERATIONS. MY GRANDPARENTS KNEW HIS

PARENTS. PARENTS, AND THEY KNEW BROTHER ROBERTS, AND I CAME

ALONG ABOUT THAT TIME, AND WE KNEW HIS CHILDREN. SO WE WERE A

3-GENERATION RELATIONSHIP. SOME FRIENDSHIPS YOU MUST KEEP IN THE

FAMILY. THEY'RE NOT JUST YOUR PARENTS' FRIENDSHIP OR YOUR

GRANDPARENTS'— IT'S YOUR FAMILY FRIENDSHIPS, AND YOU GOT TO

DISCERN THOSE. AND THE ROBERTS HAS BEEN ONE OF THOSE IN OUR

FAMILY. AND SO I WOULD GO TO BROTHER ROBERTS' HOUSE. HE, IN

HIS OLDER YEARS, HE LIVED OUT 20 MINUTES FROM MY CHURCH IN

CALIFORNIA, AND I WOULD GO HAVE LUNCH WITH HIM. AND SOMETIMES

HE'D JUST SHOW UP ON A SUNDAY MORNING AND SIT IN THE CROWD AND

SCARE ME. I MEAN, YOU GET UP TO PREACH AND HERE SITS THE

CHARISMATIC POPE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR CHURCH, AND HE DIDN'T

TELL YOU HE WAS COMING. AND THE USHERS DIDN'T PICK ON WHO WALKED

THROUGH THE DOOR. I'M LIKE, ARE YOU GUYS BLIND? I MEAN, IT'S

ORAL ROBERTS SITTING IN THE CROWD WITH HIS WIFE EVELYN. AND

I'M LIKE, AH! SO, AND BROTHER ROBERTS WAS ONE OF THE MOST

EASIEST MEN TO TALK TO, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ALL THIS AND, BUT

HE WAS THAT. AND ORAL'S GIFT WORKED IN HIS RIGHT HAND. HE HAD

NOTHING IN THE LEFT HAND. IT WAS JUST A HAND. ALL RIGHT. I

UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE'S GIFTS WORK AND COOPERATE WITH IT. IF

YOU WANT TO BE AN IDIOT, FIGHT IT. IF YOU HAVE A GUEST COME TO

YOUR CHURCH, COOPERATE WITH HOW THEIR GIFT WORKS. PLAY THE SONG

THEY WANT, AMEN, DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, AND SHUT UP AND SIT

DOWN AND LET IT ROCK AND ROLL. YEAH, RIGHT. YOU BRING THESE

GIFTS IN, YOU PAY ALL THAT MONEY, AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN FREE

TO DO MUCH BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THEY FLOW. WELL

THEN DON'T INVITE THEM, YOU BLIND BAT. PLEASE LOOK AT THINGS

CORRECTLY. WELL, I KNEW ABOUT BROTHER ROBERTS' GIFT BECAUSE

I'D SEEN IT AND I'D FELT IT A FEW TIMES. SO I'D ALWAYS SIT ON

HIS RIGHT SIDE JUST IN CASE THAT HAND STARTS VIBRATING. I WANT TO

GET HIT FIRST WITH IT. I'M NOT I WANT TO BE AROUND AND KNOW HOW

TO WORK WITH THESE GIFT PEOPLE. AND I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE LEFT

HAND. I IGNORED THE LEFT SIDE. IT WAS JUST HUMAN. I WANTED THE

OTHER SIDE. AND IF I WAS IN HIS HOUSE AND THERE WAS PEOPLE THERE

AND I COULDN'T SIT RIGHT, I WOULD SIT ON THE FLOOR INDIAN

STYLE NEXT TO HIM. HE GOES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I SAID, I'M

WAITING FOR YOUR HAND TO VIBRATE. AND HE KNEW ME ENOUGH

WHERE WE COULD TALK LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW. AND I SAID, IF IT

VIBRATES, HIT ME IN THE I JUST SLAPPED MY CHEST. HE GOES, OKAY.

AND I SAID, I MEAN IT. HE GOES, I KNOW. BUT IN HIS OLDER YEARS,

THE GIFT WORKED. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TEACH ALL THIS, BUT THE

GIFT WORKED CONSISTENTLY IN THE TENT YEARS. BUT AFTER THE TENT

YEARS, IT WOULD COME AND GO BECAUSE GOD TOLD BROTHER ROBERTS

PEOPLE WERE MAKING AN IDOL OUT OF HIM. HIM, AND HE HAD TO WATCH

ORAL'S PRIDE. AND SO FROM THAT TIME TO THE TIME OF HIS DEATH,

THAT GIFT WOULD WORK AND IT WOULD STOP. IT WOULD COME ON AND

WORK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OR MAYBE A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR A FEW

MONTHS, AND THEN IT WOULD LEAVE AND GO DORMANT. AND SO I'M

WAITING FOR THAT THING TO VIBRATE AGAIN. THE LAST TIME I

SAW THAT THING IN A CRUSADE OR IN A CONFERENCE, HE PULLED 13

PEOPLE OUT OF WHEELCHAIRS AND THEY ALL WALKED OFF WITH THE

RIGHT HAND, BECAUSE IN HIS RIGHT HAND GOD PUT A HEALING POWER AND

DELIVERANCE POWER, AND HE COULD FEEL IT COME OUT OF HIS HAND AND

GO INTO YOU. AND THEN IF YOU HAD DEMONS, IT WOULD VIBRATE AS MANY

TIMES AS YOU HAD A DEVIL. SO YOU HAD 15 DEVILS, IT WOULD VIBRATE

15 TIMES. SAY, I DON'T KNOW, JUST SHUT UP AND AGREE. YOU HEAD

PEOPLE, GET IN THE SPIRIT AND QUIT THINKING, JUST START

FLOWING A LITTLE BIT. YOU ALWAYS FLOW WITH THE WRONG STUFF. YOU

FLOW WITH IDIOTS INSTEAD OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE. I WISH I COULD

PREACH THAT FOR 30 MINUTES. THE PROPHETIC IDIOTS IN AMERICA NEED

THEIR BUTT SPANKED AND THEIR HEAD PRAYED FOR. THAT'S CALLED A

GRANDMA QUOTE, OKAY? THAT'S HOW GRANDMA WOULD FIX IT. SPANK

THEIR BUTT AND PRAY FOR THEIR HEAD AT THE SAME TIME. MAKES A

BETTER CHILD. AND I THINK SOME OF THESE PROPHETIC IDIOTS

RUNNING AROUND HERE SEEING ALL KINDS KINDS OF GOOFY THINGS.

THEY NEED THEIR BUTT SPANKED AND THEIR HEAD PRAYED FOR AND TOLD

TO SIT DOWN IN THE CHURCH AND GO BACK TO BIBLE SCHOOL AND START

OVER. YOU CRAZY IDIOT. YOU DON'T GO TO HEAVEN EVERY DAY. ARE YOU

ON CRACK? COME ON. AND YOU ALL KNOW THIS. YOU ALL KNOW THIS.

AND YOU ALL ACT LIKE, WOW, IT'S NOT— WELL, IT'S— OH, SHUT UP.

WE'RE DOING THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN IN THE BIBLE. NOT IN THE

BIBLE. IF IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE, DON'T TAKE IT. IF IT'S NOT IN

THE BIBLE, DON'T RECEIVE IT. IF IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE, DON'T DO

IT. YEAH. SOME OF OUR PROPHETIC PEOPLE WERE IN THE NEW AGE

MOVEMENT BEFORE THEY GOT SAVED. NO PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THEY

DIDN'T STAY IN A CHURCH LONG ENOUGH FOR THE WORD TO WASH ALL

OF THE JUNK OUT OF THEM AND THEY MIXED IT. WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD

WASN'T MOVING, THEY MOVED IN THE WRONG THING BECAUSE IN THE

NON-HOLY GHOST WORLD YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT. BUT WHEN YOU'RE

LED BY THE SPIRIT, YOU'RE LED BY HIS GUIDANCE AND IT MUST BE IN

LINE WITH THE WORD. WORD AND SPIRIT IS HOW YOU FUNCTION. THEY

AGREE. THE HOLY SPIRIT PERFORMS WHAT'S IN IN THE BIBLE. IF IT'S

NOT IN THE BIBLE, HE DIDN'T DO IT. SOME OTHER GOOFY DEVIL CAME

BY AND FOOLED YOU AND DID IT. I'VE BEEN IN THIS SO LONG,

PERSECUTION DON'T BOTHER ME MUCH ANYMORE. IT MAKES ME HAPPY. THE

BIBLE SAYS WHEN YOU'RE PERSECUTED FOR DOING RIGHT, THE

SPIRIT OF GLORY COMES OVER YOU. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE BEING

PERSECUTED SOMETIMES DON'T KNOW IT. THEY'RE INSULATED WITH THE

SPIRIT OF GLORY. I WISH THE GLORY PREACHERS WOULD PREACH

THAT PART. THEY DON'T PREACH THE PERSECUTION PART. I CAN'T PREACH

THAT. BACK TO TIMOTHY. ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS? ALL RIGHT. I'M

NOT DONE. BUT I'M HAPPY. STIR UP THE GIFT THAT'S INSIDE OF YOU. I

WENT TO ORAL'S HOUSE. I WANTED HIM TO VIBRATE. SO I THOUGHT,

I'M GOING TO TRY WHAT I DID WITH BROTHER HAGIN WITH BROTHER

ROBERTS. HE'S A MIRACLE MAN. SO I BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT MIRACLES

IN THE OLD I JUMPED FOR SOME REASON INTO THE BOOK OF ACTS AND

SKIPPED THE GOSPELS. AND HE'D SAY A FEW THINGS THAT WERE NICE,

BUT IT WASN'T HIS THING. I'M SITTING THERE THINKING, LORD, I

NEED TO FIND THE VERSES TO MAKE ORAL'S GIFT AT LEAST MOVE A

LITTLE BIT. AND I FOUND IT. I SAID, BROTHER ROBERTS, HAVE YOU

EVER BEEN IN A SERVICE YOU REMEMBER THE SERVICE WHERE THE

PRESENCE OF THE LORD WAS PRESENT TO HEAL? OH YEAH, I HIT IT. YOU

CAN TELL THAT THEY TALK DIFFERENTLY IN THEIR EYES. OH, I

HIT IT. I SAID, LIKE WHEN JESUS SPIT AND MADE MUD AND PUT THE

BLIND MAN'S EYES. OH, AND IT WAS THE JESUS MIRACLES THAT MADE

ORAL'S GIFT COME ALIVE. SO I BEGAN TO SHOOT HIM. WITH ALL THE

NEW TESTAMENT GOSPEL MIRACLE STORIES OF JESUS. AND WE HAD A

GOOD TIME THAT DAY. AND ORAL ROBERTS PRAYS GREAT PRAYERS.

SUMRALL— WELL, HE PRAYS LIKE THIS, "BE BLESSED!" AND

THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL YOU GET. BUT HE CAN DO MORE IN 2 WORDS

THAN MOST OF US CAN DO IN 30 MINUTES. THAT'S HOW HIS

AUTHORITY WAS. HE HAD THAT POWER. HE USUALLY WOULD GRAB ME

WITH THE THIRD FINGER, PUT MY THUMB IN, "BE BLESSED, YOU CAN

GO HOME NOW." AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS FOR MOST OF MY LIFE. I

NEVER GOT A LONG PRAYER WITH BROTHER SUMRALL. ORAL ROBERTS IS

DIFFERENT. ORAL ROBERTS PRAYED A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRAYER. "I

COME TO THE GOD THAT HEALED ME WHEN I WAS DYING. I COME TO THE

GOD WHO SAVED MY SOUL WHEN I WAS DESTINED FOR HELL. AND I ASK YOU

TO GIVE UNTO YOUR SERVANT, I WANT THAT SPIRIT, THAT TOUCH ONE

MORE TIME, THAT YOU MAY HEAL THE SICK THROUGH ME AND DELIVER THEM

THAT ARE BOUND BY THE DEVILS THROUGH MY HANDS. MAY THE GOD

WHO MADE THE UNIVERSE, WHO MADE THE EARTH, WHO MADE THE SEAS AND

THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SKY. AND HE STARTS PAINTING A PICTURE

LIKE THAT. AND SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT PRAYER, THAT GIFT

WOULD BANG. NOW, WHEN THAT GIFT HITS— LISTEN TO ME— WHEN THAT

GIFT— LISTEN, LISTEN— WHEN THAT GIFT IN SOMEBODY WORKS, SHUT UP

AND GO WITH IT. IF THEY SLAP YOU, ASK FOR ANOTHER ONE. IF

THEY— WELL, I WAS RAISED BY PENTECOSTALS, NOT BAPTISTS AND

LUTHERANS. WE GROW UP A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN OUR PRAYER

TIME. OLD LADIES DON'T COME WITH COOKIES AND MILK, THEY COME WITH

BIBLES AND DEEP TONGUES. I LOVE THE OLD LADIES. DON'T DIE, OLD

LADY, STAY ALIVE. DON'T DIE, STAY ALIVE AND KEEP PRAYING FOR

YOUR PEOPLE. YOU STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD THAT'S INSIDE OF

YOU. DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T HAVE A GIFT, BECAUSE GOD USED MY

HANDS TO GET IT TO YOU. 'CAUSE SOMEWHERE IN TIMOTHY'S CRISIS,

HE BEGAN TO QUESTION WHETHER HE HAD A CALL OR A DIVINE ENDOWMENT

OF A GIFT. AND PAUL SAID, DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T HAVE A GIFT,

'CAUSE I KNOW HOW YOU GOT IT. GOD USED MY HANDS. REMEMBER,

TIMOTHY, THAT DAY WHEN I CAME TO YOU AND PUT MY HANDS UPON YOU

AND SOMETHING OUT OF HEAVEN WENT THREW ME INTO YOUR BELLY, AND I

AM CONVINCED IT IS STILL IN YOU NOW! STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD

THAT IS INSIDE OF YOU! PAUL WOULD GO ON TO SAY IN THE NEXT

VERSE, "GOD HAS NOT GIVEN YOU THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT POWER,

THE LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND. GOD DOES NOT USE FEAR AS YOUR

TEACHER. UNDERSTAND ME. GOD DOES NOT USE ANY AMOUNT OF FEAR TO BE

YOUR TEACHER. NOW YOU MAY CHOOSE IT, BUT GOD CHOSE ONLY ONE

TEACHER AND HE SENT HIM CALLED THE HOLY HOST. IF YOU WANT

CANCER TO BE YOUR TEACHER, THEN YOU'RE A DUMMY. GO RIGHT AHEAD.

IF YOU WANT POVERTY TO BE YOUR TEACHER, GO RIGHT AHEAD. BUT THE

BIBLE TELLS US HE DOES NOT EVER SEND FEAR OR THESE THINGS AS OUR

TEACHER. I DO NOT WANT FEAR, SICKNESS, DISEASE, WOE TO BE MY

TEACHER. I'LL FIGHT THEM. I WILL I WILL CONQUER THEM. I WILL GO

AFTER THEM. BUT THEY'RE NOT EVER A TEACHER IN MY LIFE. THE BIBLE

AND THE HOLY GHOST IS THE ONE JESUS SENT TO BE YOUR TEACHER.

SIGN UP TODAY FOR THE ONLY TEACHER THAT JESUS SENT WAS THE

HOLY SPIRIT. LET HIM KNOW YOU WANT HIS VOICE, HIS GUIDANCE,

HIS CORRECTION, HIS VOICE TO DOMINATE IN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

YOU MUST TELL HIM. BY TELLING HIM, HE KNOWS THE DOOR HAS BEEN

OPENED TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE AND ACT AND SPEAK CERTAIN WAYS.

IF YOU DON'T TELL HIM, HE'S NOT QUITE SURE IF YOU WANT HIM TO

COME THE WAY HE NEEDS TO COME SOMETIMES. HE'S NOT I HAVE NOT

GIVEN YOU THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT POWER, POWER, POWER. WE ARE

STRENGTHENED IN OUR INNER MAN WITH MIGHTY POWER, NOT JUST

SURVIVING POWER, OVERCOMING MIGHTY POWER. WE ARE

STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHTY POWER. Y'ALL SAY THAT. IT'S TIME YOU

GET RID OF THE DOVE AND GET THE MIGHTY. WIND IN YOUR LIFE. NOW I

KNOW WHEN I SAY THAT PEOPLE GET MAD, BUT I'M GOING TO SAY IT

AGAIN, AND I KNOW IT'S ON TELEVISION. LET IT FLY TO

EVERYBODY'S HOUSE. LET THEM HEAR ME REAL CLEAR, AND PLEASE GOSSIP

ABOUT IT BECAUSE GOSSIP SPREADS IT FASTER. THE ONLY TIME THE

DOVE CAME WAS ON JESUS AT THE BAPTISM WITH JOHN THE BAPTIST.

THE ONLY TIME THE DOVE CAME WAS ON JESUS. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT

CAME ON US, THE CHURCH, HE DIDN'T COME AS A DOVE. HE CAME

AS A RUSHING MIGHTY WIND. AND THAT IS THE DOMINANT SIDE OF HIS

PERSON THAT SHOULD BE IN YOUR LIFE. BUT WE'VE HIJACKED HIM OR

STOPPED HIM AND MADE HIM ONLY TO BE A DOVE. I KNOW HE'S CUTE. I

KNOW HE'S WHITE. I KNOW HE TWEETS BEAUTIFULLY, BUT

SOMETIMES YOU NEED A WIND TO BLOW THINGS OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND

BLOW THINGS IN YOUR LIFE, AND IT WILL NOT HAPPEN SOMETIMES IN THE

NICE MINISTRY OF THE DOVE. AND AMERICA IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE

BECAUSE OF THE DOVE. IT'S GOING TO CHANGE BECAUSE OF THE RUSHING

MIGHTY WIND. POWER. LOVE. WHEN IN DOUBT WHAT TO DO, LOVE. IT

HAS A GUARANTEE. IT NEVER FAILS. LOVE NEVER FAILS. I'M NOT DONE

PREACHING, SO YOU JUST HANG ON. I'M TRYING. POWER, LOVE HAS A

GUARANTEE. IT NEVER FAILS. IT NEVER FAILS. IT NEVER FAILS.

LOVE NEVER FAILS. AND IT GIVES YOU A SOUND MIND BECAUSE WE

YOU'RE IN A WAR. YOU NEED AN INTERNAL SOUNDNESS OF MIND THAT

COMES FROM GOD BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUT HERE. WHEN YOU GET TO

HEAVEN, WHAT'S IN YOU AND WHAT'S OUTSIDE OF YOU ARE THE SAME.

WHY? ON EARTH, WHAT'S IN YOU IS DIVINE. WHAT'S AROUND YOU

USUALLY IS NOT. AND YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND PEACE AND

STABILITY OF MIND BY WHAT'S AROUND YOU. YOU'RE GOING TO BE

CONFUSED. HAS TO COME FROM WITHIN YOU. YOUR INNER RIVERS,

YOUR INNER WITNESS, THE INNER LIFE DOMINATES THE OUTER LIFE

UNTIL WE ARE RAPTURED AND GO GO ON TO HEAVEN WHERE EVERYTHING IS

THE SAME OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. HE SAID, GOD HAS NOT GIVEN YOU THE

SPIRIT OF FEAR. HE'S NOT GIVEN YOU FEAR AT ALL TO BE YOUR

TEACHER. BUT HE GIVES US POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND. 8TH

VERSE, LAST VERSE, FIRST CLOSING. I MIGHT HAVE 5. DON'T

BE ASHAMED OF THE LORD'S TESTIMONY, NOR ME HIS PRISONER,

BUT BE THOU A PARTAKER OF THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE GOSPEL

ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF GOD. NUMBER 1, WHAT IS THE TESTIMONY

OF JESUS? EVERYTHING JESUS SAID, EVERYTHING JESUS DID. HE TOLD

YOU TO DO. DON'T BE ASHAMED OF JESUS. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW

WHAT KIND OF CHURCH YOU GO TO, BUT WHEN'S THE LAST TIME IN SOME

OF YOUR CHURCHES THAT YOU HAD A HEALING SERVICE AND DID ANYBODY

GET HEALED? WELL, WE DON'T DO THAT IN THIS CHURCH. IF YOU GO

TO A CHURCH, THEY DON'T PRAY FOR SICK PEOPLE AND BELIEVE FOR

HEALING. THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE ASHAMED OF JESUS. IF YOU GO TO A

CHURCH THAT DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL PROSPER TO YOU AND HELP

YOU. THEY'RE ASHAMED OF CHRIST'S BIBLICAL PROVISIONAL CARE FOR

HIS CHILDREN. FIND OUT WHAT YOUR CHURCH IS ASHAMED OF. HOPEFULLY

NOTHING, BUT A LOT OF THEM— SOME OF MY FAMILY GO TO AN ASSEMBLY

OF GOD CHURCH THAT SHOULD BE CALLED NON-ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THEY

ONLY BELIEVE WHAT'S ON THE DOCTRINAL PAGE, NOT NOT IN

REALITY. DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLES? YES. YOU BELIEVE IN

TONGUES? YES. YOU EVER DO IT? NO. THAT MEANS YOU DON'T BELIEVE

IT. SO IF YOU GO TO A CHURCH, WELL, WE DON'T DO THAT. WELL,

THEN YOU NEED TO LEAVE THAT AND GO WHERE THEY DO THAT. AND IT

MAY TAKE ANOTHER EXTRA 20 MINUTES DRIVE TO GET THERE, BUT

IT'S WORTH THE EXTRA FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO GO HEAR THE FULL

GOSPEL MESSAGE IN A GOOD ATMOSPHERE AND FIND FRIENDS TO

DO LIFE AND MINISTRY WITH BESIDES THOSE IDIOTS YOU'VE BEEN

WITH FOR 20 YEARS. YEAH, NO WONDER YOU'RE GOOFY. WHAT YOU

HEAR AND HOW YOU HEAR DETERMINES WHAT KIND OF SPIRIT YOU WILL

HAVE. HOW THE GOSPEL IS TAUGHT TO YOU AND SPOKEN TO YOU HELPS

BUILD YOUR SPIRIT MAN. WHAT YOU HEAR IS IMPORTANT TOO. WHAT YOU

HEAR AND HOW YOU HEAR. THAT'S WHY I TALK THE WAY THAT I DO IN

MOST OF MY SERVICES, BECAUSE MOST OF YOU HEAR SUGGESTION. YOU

DON'T HEAR COMMAND. YOU DON'T HEAR INVADING WORDS, OR YOU HEAR

WORDS WITHOUT THE PUNCHING SPIRIT BEHIND IT. IT'S MORE LIKE

A CATERING. WELL, HERE'S THIS. I DON'T CATER. I SERVE VERY

ROUGHLY BECAUSE YOU NEED THIS FOR WHERE WE'RE GOING IN THIS

COUNTRY AND WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE FUTURE. AND THIS IS

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AS FUTURE

LEADERS. DON'T BE ASHAMED OF THE LORD'S TESTIMONY. THEN HE SAID,

NUMBER 2, HE TOLD TIMOTHY, HIS SPIRITUAL FATHER, HE TOLD HIM,

HE SAID, AND DON'T BE ASHAMED OF ME. DON'T BE ASHAMED OF ME AS

PRISONER. I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION WHEN I BUILT MY CHURCH

IN CALIFORNIA. SO I BUILT MY CHURCH IN THE '90S, AND BACK

WHEN HANK, IF THAT NAME MEANS ANYTHING, HE WAS THE

DOMINANT IDIOT ON CHRISTIAN RADIO. HE WAS AGAINST EVERYTHING

THAT WASN'T DEAD. SO IF YOU HAD ANY LIFE ABOUT YOU, HE DIDN'T

LIKE YOU. SO HE HATED ALL OF US. WELL, I BUILT MY CHURCH IN HIS

BACKYARD. I DIDN'T KNOW HE LIVED THERE. AND HE MADE ME FAMOUS

BECAUSE HE'D SEND HIS LITTLE SPIES SPIES WITH THEIR LITTLE

CELL PHONES. THEY'D GO TO THE BATHROOM STALL AND REPORT BACK

TO THE RADIO STATION WHAT WE WERE DOING. AND FOLKS CAME TO

SEE IF IT WAS TRUE. WHEN THEY GOT THERE, THEY GOT ATTACKED BY

THE HOLY GHOST, AND THEY LIKED IT AND STAYED. SO I APPRECIATE

THE PERSECUTION BECAUSE IT WORKED. AND THEN I WENT TO GET A

CHARISMA MAGAZINE IN THOSE DAYS AT ONE OF OUR CHRISTIAN

BOOKSTORES IN CALIFORNIA, AND THEY HAD IT UNDERNEATH THE

COUNTER LIKE PORN. AND I ASKED I ASKED FOR A MAGAZINE AND

THEY PULLED IT OUT IN A LITTLE BROWN BAG AND STAPLED IT AND

HANDED IT TO ME LIKE IT WAS A DIRTY MAGAZINE. AND IT MADE ME

SO MAD I BUILT ME A BIG BOOKSTORE OF OVER 3,000, 4,000

BOOKS IN MY STORE. AND I SPECIALIZED IN GETTING BOOKS YOU

COULDN'T GET NOWHERE ELSE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. HAGIN

BOOKS, REVIVAL BOOKS, NORVEL HAYES CAST-OUT-DEMON BOOKS, ALL

THOSE KIND OF FUN THINGS. AND I GOT PHONE CALLS FROM PASTORS ALL

OVER SOMETHING. WHY DO YOU CARRY THESE BOOKS IN YOUR STORE? I

SAID, BECAUSE YOU DON'T. I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THAT. I SAID,

IT'S MY STORE. GET OUT OF MY NOSE. GO BACK. YOU GOT TO LEARN,

PASTORS, WHAT'S YOURS AND WHAT'S NOT NOBODY ELSE'S BUSINESS. AND

WHEN THEY START TALKING LIKE THAT, TELL THEM TO SHUT UP AND

GO HOME. BE RUDE TO PEOPLE. BE RUDE TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE. PLEASE

BE HOLY GHOST TO THESE IDIOTS AND TELL THEM TO SHUT UP AND GET

THEIR BUTTS OUT OF YOUR CHURCH. YEAH. OUCH. NO. COME ON. THEY

GOT MAD. AND THEN I BEGAN TO BRING IN SPEAKERS THEY DIDN'T

LIKE. I HAD NORVAL FOR 3 WEEKS EVERY NIGHT. HE STARTED AT 7 AND

ENDED AT 1 O'CLOCK 1 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. HE DIDN'T REALIZE

HALF THE CROWD HAD LEFT. NORVAL SLEPT ALL DAY AND PREACHED ALL

NIGHT, AND WE THAT WORKED DURING THE DAY WENT TO CHURCH AT NIGHT

AND HAD GOD TO HELP US STAY AWAKE. BUT WE HAD GREAT

MEETINGS, AND I HAD TO DECIDE IF I WAS GOING TO BE ASHAMED OF

THESE MEN'S CHAINS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? DON'T BE ASHAMED OF

ME AS PRISONER. I HAD TO LOOK AT WHEN ORAL ROBERTS PREACHED IN MY

CHURCH, I GOT REACTION IN MY COMMUNITY, BUT I HAD TO, SIR,

NOT TO BE ASHAMED OF HIS CHAINS THAT SAID, GO TAKE MY HEALING

POWER TO YOUR GENERATION. I HAD TO DECIDE WITH BROTHER HAGIN

WHEN I SOLD HIS BOOKS AND GAVE THEM AWAY FREE JUST BECAUSE

PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE HIM, I GAVE THEM FREE AND MAILED THEM ALL MY

LISTS. THAT'S HOW YOU FIGHT. YOU DON'T GO, OH, YOU

SEND MORE BOMBS OUT THERE IN THE TERRITORY. YOU JUST HAVE A GREAT

TIME. YOU BOMB ME, I'LL BOMB YOU TWICE. AND I COULDN'T BE ASHAMED

OF TAKING CHAINS TO GO TEACH MY PEOPLE FAITH. I HAD TO DECIDE TO

NOT BE ASHAMED OF PAUL'S CHAINS. ARE YOU ASHAMED OF HANK'S

CHAINS? KENT CHRISTMAS'S CHAINS? YOU HAVE TO DECIDE, PASTORS, IF

YOU'RE GOING TO BE ASHAMED OF LIVING LEADERS' CHAINS AND SOME

OF OUR PAST LEADERS' CHAINS. I DECIDED I'D RATHER BE IN JAIL

WITH ORAL THAN FREE WITH THE IDIOT ON THE RADIO. I'D RATHER

BE IN JAIL WITH FAITH MAN, THEN BEEN FREE WITH THE GUYS THAT

DIDN'T BELIEVE IN FAITH. THEN THEY GOT REAL MAD WHEN I BROUGHT

IN THE PROSPERITY BOYS. OH, SHEESH. WELL, BE BROKE, YOU LAZY

THING, THEN, AND ENJOY POVERTY AND LEAVE ME ALONE. IF YOU WANT

TO BE BROKE, GO BE BROKE. IF YOU WANT TO GET RICH, GO TOWARD GOD,

AND GOD WILL HELP YOU COME OUT OF YOUR FAMILY GENERATIONAL

CURSE OF POVERTY. HE'LL LIFT YOU UP. HE'LL STABILIZE YOU. HE HE

WILL HELP YOU, BUT YOU CAN'T BE ASHAMED OF HIS PRISONERS. THAT'S

PART OF THAT VERSE. TIMOTHY, GET UP. GET UP OUT OF THE BACK OF

YOUR APARTMENT. QUIT CRYING. GET UP, SON, AND GET BACK TO YOUR

HIGH CALLING. GET BACK OUT THERE ON THE FRONT EDGE OF YOUR CALL

AND PREACH THE FULL GOSPEL MESSAGE. EVERYTHING JESUS DID,

PREACH IT. EVERYTHING HE SAID, SAY IT. EVERYTHING HE TOLD YOU

TO DO, DO IT AND DON'T BE ASHAMED. BE THOU A PARTICIPANT

OF THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE GOSPEL ACCORDING, ACCORDING TO THE

POWER OF GOD. THE THE WORD ACCORDING SPEAKS OF MEASUREMENT.

THE REASON WHY BAPTISTS DON'T GET THE SAME PERSECUTION AS A

FULL GOSPEL PERSON— BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THE GOSPEL. NOW I

WANT TO TALK TO THE FULL GOSPEL PEOPLE HERE AND WATCHING ME. I

WANT ALL YOUR EYES ON MY BLUE EYES. I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME. YOU

ARE A FULL GOSPEL PERSON. WE'RE CALLED FULL GOSPEL BECAUSE WE

DON'T WANT TO BE HALF GOSPEL. AND OUR FATHERS AND MOTHERS IN

THE EARLY PART OF THE 1900S SAID, WE'RE TIRED OF BEING JUST

A LITTLE BIT. WE WANT THE WHOLE THING. WE WANT FULL GOSPEL.

PLEASE REMAIN WITH THAT DETERMINATION OF EVERYTHING THAT

JESUS SAID, EVERYTHING THAT JESUS DID, AND THEN WHAT

HAPPENED IN THE BOOK OF ACTS STILL HAPPENS TODAY, AND NONE OF

IT HAS BEEN DONE AWAY WITH AT ALL. THAT'S WHAT A FULL GOSPEL

PERSON IS. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING,

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN,

AND ACTS STILL HAPPENS TODAY. BE THOU A PARTICIPANT IN THE

AFFLICTIONS OF THE THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF GOD

THAT YOU WALK IN. BILLY GRAHAM AND ORAL ROBERTS WERE GOOD

FRIENDS. THEY MET BY ACCIDENT OR BY DIVINE APPOINTMENT IN A HOTEL

ELEVATOR IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF AMERICA. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE

TWO MOST FAMOUS PREACHERS IN THE WORLD IN THE SAME HOTEL AND

NOBODY KNEW THEY WERE THERE. HE DIDN'T TELL THEM. THEY WERE

GOING DOWN FOR BREAKFAST AND BILLY AND RUTH WERE IN THE

ELEVATOR AND ORAL AND EVELYN WERE OUTSIDE. THEY HIT THE

BUTTON AND OPEN AND THERE THEY WERE. GOD ARRANGES YOUR STEPS.

NO MATTER WHAT YOUR CARETAKERS MAY TRY TO DO, HE CAN REARRANGE

WHERE YOU GET TO MEET THE OTHER GUY. AND THEY LIKED EACH OTHER.

THEY HAD BREAKFAST TOGETHER AND THEY BECAME LIFELONG FRIENDS.

LIFELONG FRIENDS. BILLY GRAHAM ASKED ORAL AT BREAKFAST TO PRAY

FOR HIS— THE OPENING PRAYER IN HIS CRUSADE UP IN— IT WAS OREGON

AT THAT TIME. AND BROTHER ROBERTS TOLD ME THIS, HE GOES, I

TOLD BILLY, YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DO THAT. HE GOES, WHY? HE GOES,

SOME OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS DON'T— THEY DON'T LIKE ME, AND I DON'T

WANT TO CAUSE YOU SOME TROUBLE. AND BILLY GOES, WHOSE NAME IS ON

THE CALL? CRUSADE? HE SAID, BILLY GRAHAM, IT'S MY CRUSADE

AND I WANT YOU TO DO THIS. HE SAID, OKAY. SO ORAL WENT AND DID

THE OPENING PRAYER AT BILLY GRAHAM'S CRUSADE AT THAT TIME.

NOW, WHEN YOU WENT TO A BILLY GRAHAM CRUSADE, AND I SAY THIS

WITH RESPECT, ONE THING HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU GET SAVED, WHICH IS

THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF THEM ALL, BUT NOT THE ONLY MIRACLE,

THE GREATEST MIRACLE, BUT NOT THE ONLY ONE. SO YOU GO TO BILLY

GRAHAM, YOU'LL GET SAVED. YOU GO NEXT YEAR, YOU GET SAVED AGAIN.

THIRD YEAR, SAVED. FIFTH YEAR, SAVED. TENTH YEAR, SAVED.

TWENTIETH YEAR, SAVED. SAVED, SAVED, SAVED. YOU WILL GO TO

HEAVEN, WHICH THAT IS A GREAT THING TO HAVE. YOU WILL GO TO

HEAVEN, BUT YOU MIGHT GO EARLY BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE REST

OF THE STORY. IF YOU GO TO AN ORAL ROBERTS MEETING, YOU'LL GET

SAVED AND YOU'LL GET FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND YOU'LL GET

HEALED AND YOU'LL BE TAUGHT TO GIVE MONEY AND RECEIVE A

HARVEST. YOU GET 4 TO 1. RIGHT NOW, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE

DISRESPECTFUL, I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN. 'CAUSE YOU PENTECOSTALS

HAVE TO GET OVER THIS AND QUIT TRYING TO BE BAPTIST AND

EVANGELICAL LUKEWARM. THEY'RE GONNA GROW FASTER BECAUSE

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THEIR GROUP HAS TO GRADE TO IS

SALVATION. THEY COME TO YOUR CHURCH, THERE'S 4 OR MORE

THEY'VE GOT TO LEARN AND BUY INTO, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE

REACTIONS TO THAT. I LOVE SPEAKING IN TONGUES. I LIKE LOUD

TONGUES, BOLD TONGUES, CRAZY TONGUES. NOT BABY, GOD HELP US.

SECOND CLOSING. I'M TRYING TO CLOSE. SEE, I'M PENTECOSTAL. WE

BELIEVE IN LONG SERVICES. YOU'RE PROPHETIC. YOU WANT TO FLOAT IN

OUTER SPACE FOR A WHILE AND COME BACK, IT'S ALL FINE. DON'T BE

ASHAMED OF WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE THE TRUTH. AND IF YOU'RE GOING

TO GET PERSECUTED, LET'S GO FIRST CLASS. LET'S JUST PREACH

IT WITH THE LOUDEST AUTHORITY WE HAVE IN OUR BELLIES, TEACH IT

WITH THE GREATEST ACCURACY THAT WE CAN, ADMINISTER IT IN EVERY

SERVICE THAT WE CAN, WITH NO SHAME AND NO APOLOGY, NO FEAR OF

MAN OR PERSECUTION. WHAT IS PERSECUTION? IT'S A PLATFORM TO

PREACH FROM. LET IT PILE UP IN FRONT OF YOU, GET ON TOP OF IT,

AND PREACH FROM IT. NOW SEE, ABOUT 10 OF YOU GOT THAT.

REALLY? YES, REALLY. THAT'S A PART OF BEING APOSTOLIC, THE

ABILITY TO GO THROUGH PERSECUTION AND MAKE IT WORK FOR

YOU IN THE END. NOT DIE, BUT LIVE. THEY STONE PAUL, HE CRAWLS

OUT AND GOES BACK AND PREACHES TO THEM. AH, LET THAT KIND OF

GRACE COME ON YOU TODAY IN AMERICA. WHOA! ACCORDING TO THE

POWER OF GOD, PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF

GOD, ACCORDING TO THE PROMISES THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, I

WRITE TO MY SONS TIMOTHY, MY DEARLY BELOVED SON, I SPEAK OVER

YOU GRACE THAT ABOUNDS, MERCY THAT IS NEW, AND PEACE AS A

STABILIZING FACTOR IN ANY STORM OF LIFE. I THANK GOD THAT I DID

WHAT I DID WITH A PURE CONSCIENCE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT

YOU. NIGHT AND DAY I'M AWAKENED WITH YOUR NAME IN MY SPIRIT AND

IN MY PRAYER TIME, IN MY THOUGHTS, ALL THE TIME I'M

AWAKE. I SEE YOUR FACE, TIMOTHY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I'M

PRAYING FOR YOU NIGHT AND DAY. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG. I WOULD

LOVE TO BE THERE IN PERSON SO I COULD LOOK AT YOU AND TELL YOU

THAT YOU'RE STILL LOVED, NO MATTER HOW REJECTED YOU MAY

FEEL. YOU'RE STILL ANOINTED NO MATTER HOW MANY BATTLES YOU SEEM

TO HAVE LOST. BECAUSE SON, YOU CAN LOSE A BATTLE BUT STILL WIN

THE WAR. SON, YOU CAN LOSE A BATTLE AND YOU CAN STILL WIN THE

WAR. YOU CAN STILL WIN THE WAR. SOME OF YOU'VE LOST SOME

BATTLES, BUT YOU CAN YOU CAN STILL WIN THE WAR. DON'T GIVE

UP. TIMOTHY, I'M MINDFUL OF YOUR TEARS. I CAN HEAR YOU IN THE

NIGHTTIME ON YOUR BED WITH THE CRIES THAT HAVE NO SOUND IN THE

NATURAL, THE ECHOING HURT OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT, THEY'RE DESPERATE.

THEY'RE OVERWHELMED IN FEELINGS. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FACING

BECAUSE IT AFFECTED MY JOY. I KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM, BUT I

WANT TO REMIND YOU, SON, HEAR ME. WHERE DID YOUR FAITH COME

FROM, SON? YOUR FAITH FAITH DIDN'T COME FROM A BAPTIST. YOUR

FAITH DIDN'T COME FROM A LUTHERAN. YOUR FAITH CAME FROM

SOME PENTECOSTAL GRANDPARENTS, CAME FROM A PENTECOSTAL MOTHER.

SOMEBODY REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM, WHAT KIND OF PARENTS YOU

CAME FROM, WHAT KIND OF CHURCH YOU CAME FROM. WHERE DID YOUR

FAITH COME FROM? YOUR FAITH CAME FROM LOIS AND EUNICE AND I'M

PERSUADED IT IS IN YOU. AWAKEN YOUR FAITH, TIMOTHY. I REMIND

YOU, STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD THAT IS IN YOU. DON'T TELL ME

YOU DON'T HAVE A GIFT. GOD USED MY HANDS TO GET IT TO YOU. I

KNOW WHAT KIND OF GIFT YOU GOT, AND YOU HAVE TO STIR IT UP,

TIMOTHY. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. TALK TO YOUR

GIFT. READ THE BIBLE TO YOUR GIFT. MAKE YOUR GIFT MOVE. GET

IN THE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE YOUR GIFT COMES ALIVE AND LET IT BE

THERE. TIMOTHY, DON'T BE ASHAMED OF HOW YOU'VE BEEN CALLED.

INSIDE OF ME INSIDE OF ME REST MY GRANDMOTHER, MY MOTHER CAROL.

INSIDE OF ME REST LESTER SUMRALL. HE'S A PART OF MY

DNA. HE PUT ME TOGETHER WITH PEOPLE YOU MAY NOT KNOW, YOU MAY

NOT LIKE, BUT I DON'T CARE. HE CHOSE HOW HE PUT YOUR DNA

TOGETHER. NEVER BE ASHAMED HOW GOD PUT YOU TOGETHER. AND GIFTED

YOU AND EQUIPPED YOU. I LOVE THE ROUGHNESS OF LESTER SUMRALL. I

LOVE THE WILD TONGUES OF MY GRANDMOTHER AND THE PERSISTENT

FAITH OF MY MOTHER. I LOVE THE ROAR OF ULF EKMAN. I LOVE SOME

OF THESE THINGS THAT I GOT, AND I'LL NEVER BE ASHAMED OF THEM.

IF YOU ARE ASHAMED OF THEM, THEY'LL START TO DIE INSIDE OF

YOU. I'LL NEVER I SHOULDN'T BE ASHAMED OF WHO GOD PUT ME

TOGETHER WITH. TIMOTHY, DON'T YIELD TO THE SPIRIT OF FEAR.

HE'S NOT YOUR TEACHER. HE'S GIVEN YOU— GOD HAS GIVEN YOU

POWER. WALK IN IT AGAIN. LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS. STAY IN LOVE

NO MATTER WHAT. IT NEVER FAILS, TIMOTHY. AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU A

SOUNDNESS OF MIND MIND. HE'LL KEEP YOUR SOUL STABLE IN THE

TIME OF CONTRARY WINDS. TIMOTHY, HEAR ME. GET BACK IN YOUR HIGH

CALLING AND GET BACK OUT THERE ON THAT STAGE AND PREACH THE

FULL GOSPEL MESSAGE OF CHRIST, THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS. TELL THE

WORLD EVERYTHING HE DID, EVERYTHING HE SAID, AND

EVERYTHING HE TOLD US TO DO. TELL THE WORLD, AND DON'T

WHISPER IT, SON. PROCLAIM IT LIKE A TRUMPET. PROCLAIM IT WITH

NO FEAR OF MAN OR BACKLASH OF WHAT THEY MAY SAY. AND MAY I

REMIND YOU, TIMOTHY, DON'T BE ASHAMED OF MY CHAINS. I KNOW MEN

TRY TO TELL YOU IF YOU WOULD BREAK YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ME,

THAT'D HELP YOUR MINISTRY. IF YOU NOT PREACH LIKE I TAUGHT YOU

TO PREACH, AND YOU AROUND ME, YOU HAVE MANNERISMS LIKE ME, AND

PEOPLE CAN SEE IT, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET YOU NOT TO KEEP

THAT WHICH YOU GOT FROM ME. DON'T BE ASHAMED OF MY CHAINS.

DON'T BE ASHAMED OF THE CHAINS OF YOUR FATHER, YOUR MOTHER, AND

WHO YOU ARE. AND HE SAID LASTLY, GET UP, TIMOTHY. GET UP AT THE

BACK OF YOUR APARTMENT. GET UP AND GO BACK TO YOUR HIGH

CALLING. AND WHEN YOU'RE PERSECUTED, BE REMINDED YOU'RE

GETTING THIS KIND OF PERSECUTION BECAUSE OF THE POWER THAT YOU'RE

WALKING IN. AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO ENJOY THE BATTLE. THE POWER

OF GOD THAT YOU'RE WALK IN IS CREATING VICTORY AND RIOT.

THAT'S THE WAY THE GOSPEL TAKES A COUNTRY, THROUGH BLESSING AND

RIOT. AND THAT'S HOW PAUL PUT HIS TIMOTHY BACK IN HIS HIGH

CALLING. TODAY I WANTED TO HELP PUT SOME OF YOU BACK IN YOUR

HIGH CALLING. EVERY MINISTER IN THIS ROOM, STAND ON YOUR FEET.

IF YOU'RE A PASTOR, EVANGELIST, IF YOU'RE A MINISTER,

STAND UP. IF YOU'RE NOT, STAY SEATED. IF YOU ARE A MINISTER,

STAND. I WANT TO LAY MY HANDS ON YOU. I KNOW IT'S 4 O'CLOCK

BUT I'M NOT DONE. I LOVE YOU, HANK, BUT I HAVE TO GO A

BIT LONGER. IF YOU WOULD STEP OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND COME

FORWARD, THE USHERS, WOULD YOU HELP ME LINE THEM UP

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

LET THEM CHANGE AND BECOME STRONGER. LET NEW WORDS OF THE

HOLY GHOST COME UP INSIDE OF HIM IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

THE NEW WORDS COME. YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IT. AND THEY SOUND SO

DIFFERENT. IN THE NAME. WHERE ARE YOU FROM? WHAT ARE YOU DOING

HERE? ARE YOU LIVING HERE OR VISITING? YOU'RE GOING TO GO

HOME SOMETIME? YES. WHEN? EVERY YEAR. I MEAN, IS YOUR CITIZEN

OUT HERE? YOU'RE A CITIZEN HERE NOW, OR WORKING THE PROCESS? SO

YOU MUST BE SOUTHERN SUDAN, NOT NORTHERN SUDAN. YOU'RE THE SOUTH

BECAUSE THEY KILL YOU IN THE NORTH. YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW THE

NORTH IS OWNED BY MUSLIMS. YES. ARE YOU A MUSLIM? NO. WELL, THEN

YOU'RE IN THE SOUTH OR THEY KILL YOU. I KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR

COUNTRY THAN YOU DO. LOOK AT ME. DON'T BECOME AN AMERICAN IN YOUR

DISPOSITION. GOD IS BRINGING AFRICANS TO MY COUNTRY TO HELP

US BECAUSE THE POWER OF PRAYER COMES TO YOU GUYS IN WARFARE

WAYS THAT DOES NO OTHER NATIONALITY. AND THE PREACHING

GIFT OF THE AFRICAN IS AMAZING, AND WE NEED THAT GIFT IN THIS

COUNTRY. DON'T BECOME AN AMERICAN. STAY IN THE SPIRIT OF

THE AFRICAN PRAYER WARRIOR AND THE AFRICAN PREACHER. IN THE

NAME OF JESUS, WE PRAY THAT YOU REMEMBER THESE WORDS. IN JESUS'

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

DO YOU PREACH? ARE YOU SURE? YOU KIND OF HESITATED

THERE. OH, THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S OKAY. I UNDERSTAND.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

I NEED A DIFFERENT KEY. I NEED SOMETHING DIFFERENT. FIND A

DIFFERENT KEY. PLAY IT TO ME. THEY'VE GONE INTO WATCHING, SO I

NEED THE GIFT TO COME BACK. PLAY TO ME. YOU'RE A PROPHETIC

PSALMIST. PLAY. I KNOW I'M PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT. NOW

SING IT. CAN YOU SING? NOW LOOK AT ME. SING THAT STRONGER THAN

THAT. FROM YOUR GIFT, NOT YOUR TALENT. COME ON. IN THIS

ATMOSPHERE, THERE IS HEALING, THERE IS FREEDOM. SING THIS. IN

THIS ATMOSPHERE, SING THIS. IN THIS ATMOSPHERE, THERE ARE GIFTS

BEING OPENED. THERE ARE GIFTS BEING OPENED. THERE IS CALLINGS

BEING RENEWED. THERE ARE CALLINGS BEING RENEWED. IN THIS

ATMOSPHERE. IN THIS ATMOSPHERE. NOW SING LIKE THAT. SING THOSE

SONGS LIKE THAT. STAND BACK UP ON YOUR FEET. EVERYBODY STAND

UP, LIFT YOUR HANDS TOWARD HEAVEN, AND GET BACK IN THE

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

NAME! IN JESUS' NAME! HALLELUJAH! YOU DON'T HAVE TO

FALL IN THE NAME OF JESUS— IN THE NAME OF JESUS. IN THE

NAME OF JESUS— IN THE NAME OF JESUS

NOW, THE MUSIC GROUP IN THIS CHURCH IS GREAT, BUT

THERE'S STILL MORE YOU GUYS CAN GET THAN WHAT YOU'VE GOT. YOU'RE

CONNECTED TO THE ORACLE GIFT. AND THE PSALMIST AND THE

WORKS BEST WHEN YOU'RE CONNECTED TO AN ORACLE GIFT LIKE

HANK, BECAUSE OUT OF THAT PREACHING COMES THOSE SONGS. OUT

OF THAT FLOW COMES THOSE SONGS. AND EVERYBODY ON THIS PLATFORM

MUST BE ABLE TO DO IT, AND NOT JUST ONE OR TWO. EVERYBODY HAS

TO KNOW HOW TO SING FROM THEIR GIFT. AND YOUR GIFT IS NOT RULED

BY TALENT. TALENT IS UNDERNEATH THE GIFT, NOT ON TOP OF THE

GIFT. AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR TALENT, YOUR SKILL,

FOR THAT ANOINTING TO BE UPON YOU. AMEN. ALL RIGHT.

HALLELUJAH. WELL, THE LORD IS GOOD, AND IF HIS MERCY, IT

ENDURES FOREVER. LIFT YOUR HAND UP AND WORSHIP GOD JUST FOR A

MOMENT. LET'S SEE IF I'M DONE OR NOT. HALLELUJAH! IT'S BEEN A

GOOD AFTERNOON. STUFF IS STILL WORKING OUT HERE, STILL WORKING.

YOU REALLY WANT ME TO DO THAT NOW? EVERY BLACK PERSON IN THIS

ROOM, COME HERE. EVERY BLACK PERSON IN THIS ROOM, COME HERE.

COME, COME, COME, COME, COME. HALLELUJAH. AMEN. HEY, I'M

TRYING TO CLOSE, BUT I CAN'T FIND THE DOOR. YOU GIVE ME AN

ATMOSPHERE LIKE THIS, I AIN'T GO FOR HOURS BECAUSE I GET DRUNK

AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M AT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW. I CALLED

ALL OF YOU UP HERE BECAUSE I WANT TO TALK TO YOU, THEN I'M

GOING TO LAY MY HANDS ON YOU QUICKLY. ORAL ROBERTS TOLD ME

YEARS AGO BEFORE HE DIED THAT THE DAY OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN,

GOD WAS GOING TO REMOVE EVERY BIT OF THE RESTRAINT OFF OF WHO

AND WHAT YOU ARE, NOT JUST IN SOCIETY BUT IN THE CHURCH. THE

AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHURCH MAKES A GREAT MISTAKE. A REVIVAL GETS

GOING, AND SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDST OF THE REVIVAL, THEY TURN

AND MAKE IT A CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO KEEP

IT ON THE REVIVAL ROAD, AND IT'LL FIX I FACE ALL THOSE

THINGS, AND I UNDERSTAND THE BEST I CAN. BUT SOMEBODY IN THIS

GENERATION, IN THIS COMMUNITY, NEEDS TO BYPASS THAT TURN AND GO

STRAIGHT FOR THE CROSS. AND WHEN THE CROSS IS HIT CORRECTLY, ALL

THESE THINGS WILL GET FIXED JUST LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE,

BECAUSE IT'S NOT GETTING FIXED BY TAKING THAT TURN. DOES THAT

MAKE SENSE? AND THIS IS THE DAY. THIS IS THE DAY. HE WAITED, BUT

IT'S COME. IT'S COME. AND THE DEVIL'S TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT

WE ALL DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER. HE IS WORKING HIS LITTLE BUTT OFF

TO GET EVERY ONE OF US NOT TO LIKE US, TO KEEP THE DIVISION

GOING. BUT IN PENTECOST, WE WERE ALL BIRTHED TOGETHER. DO YOU

KNOW THAT? AT AZUSA STREET. GOD CHOSE A LITTLE BLACK MAN WHO WAS

BLIND IN HIS EYE, WHO COULDN'T EVEN TALK PROPERLY BECAUSE THEY

HAD NO EDUCATION. BUT OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, HE

PICKED LITTLE SEYMOUR AND MADE HIM THE HEAD OF THE MODERN

PENTECOSTAL RESTORATION MOVEMENT. THEN BISHOP MASON OF

THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST, THE CHURCH, ORDAINED ALL THE

FIRST PENTECOSTALS. WHY? WHITE AND BLACK. NOW THEY DON'T TELL

YOU THAT, BUT IT'S TRUE. THEN THE WHITE BOYS GOT UPSET AND

THEY SEPARATED BISHOP MASON'S WHEN WE WERE ALL TOGETHER, TOOK

THE WHITE BOYS OVER HERE AND STARTED THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD,

AND THEY HAD CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST. ASSEMBLIES OF GOD WAS

BORN, AND THEY INVITED BISHOP MASON TO COME. HE WAS A GREAT

APOSTLE. GOD HAD CHOSEN THINGS TO BE THIS WAY, TO TELL OUR

CULTURE YOU CANNOT LOOK DOWN ON WHO GOD LOOKS UPON AS EQUAL AND

SPECIAL. THERE IS NO LESSER THAN IN HIS KINGDOM. WE'RE ALL

EQUALLY IMPORTANT IN THE EYES OF GOD. AND THEY INVITED BISHOP

MASON TO COME AND PREACH AT THE FORMING OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF

GOD. NOW, IF I WAS HIM, I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE BECAUSE THEY

TREATED HIM SO BAD. THEY SPLIT THE ORGANIZATION, THEY TOOK THE

WHITE NAMES FROM THE BLACK NAMES OF THE MEDALIST, AND THEY— IT'S

WHAT THEY DID. I WISH IT WASN'T NEW, BUT IT'S WHAT THEY DID. BUT

HE WENT AND PREACHED AT THE FORMING OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD

AND BLESSED THEM. IF THE AGS WOULD NOT HAVE HAD BISHOP

MASON'S BLESSING, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BECOME THE BIG DENOMINATION

THEY BECAME THAT BECAUSE THE MAN WHO THEY WERE BIRTHED UNDER

BLESSED THEM IN SPITE OF THE WORKS THAT THEY DID THAT WERE

WRONG. I WANT YOU TO KNOW, SIR AND FRIEND, NO LONGER. YOUR DAY

TO BE A PART OF EVERYTHING WITH EQUALITY DOES NOT COME FROM ALL

THESE SCREAMING PEOPLE IN THE STREETS. STREETS. IT COMES ON

YOU GETTING IN YOUR CALLING AND OBEY THAT CALL AND WALK STRAIGHT

DOWN MAIN STREET INTO YOUR HIGH CALLING AND STAY THERE. AND I

LAY MY HANDS ON YOU TODAY AND I PRONOUNCE BLESSING UPON YOU.

(SPEAK IN TONGUES)

MIGHTILY. LET IT WORK. LET IT WORK IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

(SPEAK IN TONGUES)

I PREACHED MY FIRST ONE WHEN I WAS 12, WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE. I

COMMAND YOUR EARS TO HEAR, YOUR EYES TO SEE, AND YOUR MOUTH TO

SPEAK, AND YOUR FEET TO CARRY YOU IN ALL THE PLACES YOU'RE TO

GO. EVEN WHILE THEY YET CALL YOU YOUNG, YOU SHALL OBEY.

HALLELUJAH. YOU PREACH YET? BUT IT'S IN YOU. YOU GOT TWO THINGS,

YOU'RE A WOMAN AND BLACK. HOW'S THAT? HALLELUJAH. MANY, I'LL

(SPEAK IN TONGUES)

HOW OLD ARE YOU? ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO TALK. WHEN

YOU'RE 75, YOU HAVE RIGHTS. USE THEM IN THE FAMILY AND THE

FAMILY OF GOD. DON'T BE AFRAID. GO GET THOSE BACKSLIDDEN

PREACHERS AND BRING THEM BACK. GO GET SOME OF THOSE FOLKS YOU

GOT TO BRING BACK. NOT ALL OF THEM. WHEN I SAY BACK, IT'S NOT

THAT THEY'RE IN SIN, THEY'RE NOT IN THERE, THEY'RE NOT OPERATING

THEIR GIFTS AND CALLINGS PROPERLY. AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE

TO GO GET THEM LIKE A GRANDMA AND A MAMA. AND LORD, GRACE HER

FOR THE WORK THAT'S AHEAD OF HER IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

IS. HEY, HOW OLD ARE YOU? 13. WELL, THAT'S NOT TOO OLD. SO WE

SAY EARS HEAR. YOU HAVE ALL THESE GADGETS. DO YOU WORK HERE

IN THE CHURCH OR SOMETHING? OKAY. IN THE NAME OF JESUS. IS

THIS YOUR ONLY ONE? ONLY ONE? HOW OLD IS SHE? DON'T BE AFRAID,

I WON'T HURT YOU. WE BLESS BOTH OF THEM WITH PROTECTION AND

LAUNCHABILITY, THE ABILITY TO GO FAR, FAR IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

HELLO. AND WE BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AMEN. I THOUGHT

THIS LINE WAS GETTING SMALLER. HALLELUJAH. GLORY BE TO GOD

FOREVER. IT IS A DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH TO LAY HANDS ON PEOPLE.

IT IS A DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH, A DOCTRINE, LAY HANDS UPON

PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS. AND SO WE OBEY THAT

DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH. WE OBEY THAT DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH.

THAT DOCTRINE OF LATE. HOW OLD ARE YOU? 12. DO YOU SPEAK IN

TONGUES YET? EVERY DAY? CAN WE TRY TO DO IT EVERY DAY OUT LOUD?

LORD, HELP HER. LET HER REMEMBER IN JESUS' NAME. HOW ARE YOU? 13.

AND YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES EVERY DAY? ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH HER?

ARE YOU SISTERS OR FRIENDS OR WHAT? SEE ANY GUYS PRAYING IN

TONGUES OUT LOUD WITH EACH OTHER? SO YOU KEEP AS

(SPEAK IN TONGUES)

IT'S OKAY. JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FALL,

BUT IF YOU DO, IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY, USHERS. IT'S

OKAY. HOW OLD ARE YOU? 20. WHY AREN'T YOU ON THE MISSION FIELD?

HURRY UP. DON'T LIVE IN OMAHA. GO TO AFRICA. GO TO INDIA. GO TO

SOMEBODY'S CRAZY. ARE YOU MARRIED? PRAISE THE LORD. LET ME

QUALIFY THAT. WHERE DID HE GO? YOU OKAY? YOU LOOK KIND OF OUT

OF IT. IT'S OKAY. WE'LL JUST STAY OUT THERE. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

MOST YOUNG MEN MARRY TOO SOON. THAT'S WHY THEY LIVE LIKE SINGLE

MEN WHEN THEY'RE MARRIED. AND WE HAVE TO LEARN THE SEASONS OF

LIFE. AND CULTURE HAS A CERTAIN WAY THEY TELL US HOW TO

MENTALITY OF YOU. WHEN YOU'RE AT THIS AGE, YOU DO THIS AND YOU DO

THIS AND YOU DO THIS. AND WE ALMOST OBEY CULTURE MORE THAN

KINGDOM DIRECTION. AND I THINK A PERSON LIKE YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN

OMAHA. YOU SHOULD BE IN SOME CRAZY COUNTRY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT

MARRIED WITH A LITTLE KID SCREAMING DADDY AND WANTING

MONEY. THAT'LL COME. BUT GO GET A HOLD OF PASTOR OR SOMEBODY.

AND I WANT TO GO. WHERE'S THE PERSON LIKE HE'S A GREAT GUY. HE

MIGHT HELP YOU. BUT DON'T GO SOMEPLACE NICE. GO SOMEPLACE

CRAZY AND SCARY WHERE GOD HAS TO DO STUFF EVEN TO KEEP YOU ALIVE.

BECAUSE YOU CAN DO THAT WHEN YOU'RE SINGLE. BUT WHEN YOU GET

MARRIED, YOU CAN'T QUITE DO SOME OF THOSE THINGS. YOU WON'T. BUT

THEN YOU AND YOUR WIFE WILL DO THINGS YOU CAN'T DO WHEN YOU

HAVE KIDS. BUT MAX OUT EVERY SEASON. SO WHEN YOU'RE DONE,

YOU'RE DONE WITH IT. AND WHEN YOU'RE 80 YEARS OLD AND DYING,

GOD, I WANT 5 MORE YEARS. NO. I'M DONE. I DID IT ALL. I'M

READY TO GO. MAX OUT EVERY SEASON. IS YOUR PARENTS HERE?

THEY DON'T MIND YOU GOING TO WEIRD COUNTRIES? WHERE ARE THEY

AT? ARE YOU SCARED OF HIM GOING CRAZY COUNTRIES? CAN YOU LET HIM

GO? HOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE FAMILY? ANYBODY ELSE OVER THERE?

OKAY. PRAISE THE LORD. WELL, FATHER, SET HIS FEET IN A PLACE

WHERE HE CAN BEAR THE MOST FRUIT AT THIS AGE AND THIS LEVEL OF

STRENGTH THAT HE HAS AND YOUTHFUL VITALITY. LET HIM NOT

RUN THE STREETS OF OMAHA. LET HIM RUN THE FIELDS OF HARVEST OF

THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. LET HIM HEAR, LET HIM SEE, AND LET

HIM SPEAK IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN. WELL, I'M FINALLY BACK TO YOU.

HAVE I PRAYED FOR YOU ALREADY ONCE? DID YOU COME BACK AGAIN?

THAT'S THAT AFRICAN THING. IN AN AFRICAN PRAYER LINE, YOU'LL PRAY

FOR THE SAME PERSON 4 OR 5 TIMES IN ONE PRAYER LINE. THEY WANT TO

GET IT. THEY'RE FUN. WE BLESS YOU. BE BLESSED, MY FRIENDS. BE

BLESSED, WE BLESS YOU AND WE BRING THE HONOR OF THE LORD UPON

YOU IN JESUS' NAME. AND WHO ARE YOU? HOW OLD ARE YOU? WOW. WHAT

ARE YOU DOING? YOU'RE TAKING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER? WELL, YOU'RE

LIKE THAT OTHER WHITE BOY. WHERE'S THAT WHITE BOY GO? THERE

HE IS. HE'S REAL RED TOO. HE'S LIKE MY KIND OF SKIN. WE TURN

RED. WE DON'T TURN BROWN. WE GLOW IN THE DARK. WHY DON'T YOU

DO SOMETHING WILD TOO? YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. HERE'S THE CALL. ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE

LISTENING. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SAYING THAT. FORGET THEM. TALK

TO ME. AND YOU'RE HOW OLD? 18? 18. BY THE TIME I WAS 18, I'D

ALREADY WRITTEN LIKE 10 BOOKS. BEEN LIKE, WHAT, 8 COUNTRIES?

AND I JUST GOT STARTED. I'M NOW 60. I'VE BEEN TO 130 NATIONS OF

THE WORLD, WRITTEN 101 BOOKS, AND I'VE JUST STARTED. I ASKED

GOD TO LET ME DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE BY THE TIME I WAS 50,

I'D DONE EVERYTHING I HAD TO DO THIS. I'VE BEEN TO THE WHITE

HOUSE, I OWN MY JET, AND ALL THINGS YOU ALL WANTED TO DO, I

HAD IT ALL DONE BECAUSE I WAS 50. AND I WOKE UP LIKE, WHAT AM

I WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW? BE A LIFE COACH. WELL, THAT'S

NOT AN OFFICE. PASTOR, PROPHET, APOSTLE, LIFE COACH, EVANGELIST.

THAT'S NOT IN THE LINEUP. AND PLUS, LIFE COACHES HAVE ABOUT 3

YEARS OF GOOD, AND THEN YOU'RE FORGOTTEN FOR THE REST OF YOUR

LIFE ON THE EARTH. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I DON'T WANT TO

BE NO LIFE COACH OR, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS. I

MEAN, I KNOW WHAT LIFE COACHES ARE, BUT BE ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE

YOU WROTE SO MANY BOOKS. SO I SAT DOWN WITH MYSELF, NOT WITH A

TRIBE, MYSELF. I SAID, JESUS, I WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN. I WANT

TWO LIVES. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I'VE WANTED TO DO BEFORE I WAS

50, SO I GOT AT LEAST ANOTHER 40 YEARS TO GO. OR IF I CAN GO FOR

50, WE'LL GO FOR 50. AND HE BELIEVED ME. HE TOOK MY PRAYER.

AND ABOUT 7 YEARS AFTER I PRAYED THAT PRAYER, AND I PRAYED IT

SINCERELY, AND THEN I JUST DROPPED IT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN

MY LIFE EXPLODED LIKE I WAS 30 YEARS OLD. AND I'M 60, AND MY

BODY TELLS ME THAT SOMETIMES. AND, UM, EVEN THOUGH I'M ASKING

ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE TO LAY HANDS ON ME AND GET YOUTHFUL

SPIRITS ON ME SO I CAN STAY ALIVE AND WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT

I'M TRYING TO SAY TO YOU? ASK THE LORD TO USE YOU IN A WAY

WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG AND SINGLE. IT WON'T BE FOREVER. IT'LL BE

FOR A SEASON. AND LET HIM USE YOU. AND DON'T LOOK FOR

SOMETHING COMFORTABLE OR EASY. DO THINGS YOU CAN DO AS A YOUNG

SINGLE MAN THAT YOU WON'T DO WHEN YOU'RE MARRIED, YOU WON'T

DO WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN, 'CAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T DO THOSE.

BUT YOU CAN DO THEM NOW. ASK FOR THAT AND HAVE THE ADVENTURE OF A

LIFETIME. IF I DIED TODAY, I'VE ALREADY LIVED A LIFE AND STARTED

A SECOND ONE. AND I GET TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU

KIND OF PEOPLE, ALL YOU YOUNG PEOPLE. I'M NOT GOING TO DIE

WITH THESE OLD PEOPLE. I'M GOING TO STAY WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

AMEN. NOW I'M GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU. I COMMAND YOUR EARS TO BE

ADJUSTED TO HEAR CORRECTLY. HEAR CORRECTLY. SEE DISTINCTLY. IN

THE NAME, YEAH, I SEE THAT. I COMMAND THE TRAUMA TO DISSOLVE.

AH, NO, NO, NO, NO. YOU'LL NOT STOP HIM. LET HIS FEET CARRY HIM

ON THE RIGHT PATH. AND LET HIS MOUTH NEVER BE AFRAID TO SAY

WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID. OKAY. I COMMAND YOU WHO HAS TAUNTED THE

FAMILY AND THINK YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO THEM. I COME INTO THIS

HOUSE AND I BREAK THE ASSIGNMENT OF BOTH OF YOU. NO AND NO, IN

JESUS' NAME. IN JESUS' NAME.

NAME. AMEN. HOW OLD ARE YOU? AH, SO YOUNG. LET HIM SEE. LET HIM

SEE. AND AGAIN, LET HIS EARS HEAR. THANK YOU, LORD. LORD.

AMEN. IN THE NAME OF JESUS. IN THE NAME. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK

YOU, LORD. ALL RIGHT, WHERE'S MY LAST GUY? I KNOW, I HEAR YOU.

I'M NOT DONE. I'M TRYING TO GET OUT OF HERE.

(SPEAKING IN TOUNGUES)

YOU, LORD. LET'S HEAR IT FOR DR. LIARDON AND
