Speaker: Praise God. Okay, so is there any other announcements, honey, you can think of, anything you wanted to say there? I think I covered most of it. No, just... Keep us in prayer as we do these programs. Yes. Yes, we are. The past few weeks, in fact, it's tuning down now, but I had to get a lot of technical things set up right there, and we're working on it. In fact, our first guest we had on, it got all messed up.

Speaker: We were supposed to have her back on Saturday and she canceled out on us because she wasn't up to par. And then Matt. we had a problem with him we had the whole program it was awesome and And we were supposed to were supposed to stay on for just a little while.

Speaker: till it gets downloaded and all that good stuff. And Ed thought he had. touchscreen and he's pushing, pushing, pushing and yeah nothing happened and we keep sitting there and he says Well, I guess they got it, so we all went off.

Speaker: We didn't get it. So we they called, or I guess you called Matt, or they called you. I called you. I talked to Matt quite a bit. And anyhow. because he was off.

Speaker: He said, well, can we do it tomorrow morning, which was Saturday. So we redid it. And we thought, how can it be any better than what it was last night? but it was it was it was powerful and as a testimony of that i mean what the devil meant for evil god made for good because it was really a stupid mistake i guess we fell into but sometimes things happen the enemy gets a hold of your mind you'll forget something or do something that does happen sometimes and what what i said to matt and i said to sabine i said

Speaker: what the devil made meant for evil god's going to turn around for good so let's be in agreement that we have a better program this one and i'll be honest with you folks like i told matt like i told sabina and i know myself in my heart i know the one we did yesterday was better than the one before as great as it was it really was better i thought didn't use sabina yeah so and just like we had the car accident at that time i said let's ask god to turn this around make lemonade out of out of the lemon because what the devil means for evil when something comes negative against your life ask god to turn around for good and and i've testified that that you guys now for forever and i've tested

Speaker: 5 trillion testimonies, live testimonies, and it works. It really works. Don't take it as a boo -hoo -hoo. We say, God, turn this thing around. Make it... what the devil in other words make him sorry for what he did just like uh whenever he really the cause of Christ dying, the devil, boy, he made a mistake there because he didn't realize that he was going to be resurrected. And what happened was when he did all that, he said, well, I got him now. But when he resurrected, that was it.

Speaker: So what he regrets those things he does. So you got to make the devil sorry for what he did because it's his hide that we're taking it out on. Amen. Amen. And that's that's what we're talking about. So that's kind of a little object. That's before we get started here. He'll turn your lemon into lemonade. Believe me, we've had a lot of lemons come at us. you You can't realize since we started, it's before yours, October 31st.

Speaker: The attacks that come, and I give the devil no glory for it. I speak of that, but I speak he's been whooped every time. We beat him every time. We testify every time. So I bring the devil up what he did, and I bring the devil how he was defeated. Amen. Isn't that what it's all about, Savannah? That's what it's all about. That's why we're still going. We're still going. Amen. He's not going to stop us, because greater is he that's in us than he that's in the world. And he won't stop you either if you don't let him. Amen? Okay, what are we doing tonight here? Okay, be a doer, be a hearer and a doer.

Speaker: That's very familiar. Be a hearer and a doer, isn't it? Well.

Speaker: Before we get into that, let's ask God to bless this lesson tonight, okay? Heavenly Father, we just want to praise you and thank you for this wonderful privilege to share Jesus with the people and to really share Jesus to ourselves too, Father. Because we know we are being benefited just like the audience is being benefited because you're teaching us all. Now, Father, I just ask your blessing upon us tonight. And Father, Whatever the needs might be from those listening right now live and those who will be listening later, in the name of Jesus, I ask you to touch them and meet them right where they're at right now.

Speaker: Healing, like with Stacey right there, is what she said. Lord, that you strengthen her strength her and and get her to the place of her heart and her mind where she is able to do spiritual warfare and not allow the devil to knock her out. I pray for her to have that kind of strength to be to mature in a stronger realm of faith, Father.

Speaker: Help her in that area there. And I pray for everybody else that needs that help in any way. Because, Lord, we recognize it's a battle these days. But we're here to help and to stand the gap with them. And they're here willing to stand the gap with us, Lord. And we recognize that we are one in one another and one in mo Christ. And but above all things, we need his power. We need your power, Lord. So anoint us. Anoint my lips. Anoint my wife's lips. Anoint the audience right here. And, Father.

Speaker: Do what you want to do tonight. We give you this program now in Jesus' name. And they all said, Amen, Amen, amen and Amen. Be a hearer, not a doer.

Speaker: o Okay, what's the Bible say about all these things here? We're going to learn some things about this tonight. It's not going exactly the way you might think it will be. ah A lot of people think they know sometimes what was said about a title, but it doesn't always go that way. Be a hero.

Speaker: And a doer. Okay. Romans 10, 17, a very familiar verse. So... Then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Yes, we hear God's word. His word is anointed.

Speaker: We hear it, and as we keep hearing it, faith starts to grow out of that. It keeps coming to us. We start thinking about it, meditating upon it, and it becomes stronger, and it becomes more real to us. And after a while, we have faith in actually what that word said. In other words, it says, I can do all things through Christ. We get to the places. We keep hearing that and saying that, hey, I can do all things through Christ. trump me I can do Him. I can do anything.

Speaker: Amen? but but we have to face comes by hearing so we know we need to hear and hear the word of god not our words or our thoughts but hear what god is saying amen Because he's only going to honor his work.

Speaker: Okay, let's go a little further now. But he... But A, okay, this joins But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only. You're saving your own selves.

Speaker: Okay, don't just be a hear of that word because a lot of people here And they have head millers on it. But they don't do it. They hear it. But they say, oh, the Bible says this, the Bible says this, and brother so -and -so did this, and so -and -so said that, he did that, and then the Bible would says so -and -so did that, and that's all great.

Speaker: But he wants you to give your own testimony. Get a testimony yourself. Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word, and do what the word says. And you're going to have your own testimony. It won't be what Brother So -and -so did, but it's going to be what you did, what Jesus did in your life, you see. We get testimonies by... facing the challenge that come our way or the test that come our way and applying what the scripture says to it.

Speaker: you see That's why we need to hear the word and know the word and apply it to that situation and have faith in that situation. Now let's move on a little further with that. James 4.

Speaker: seventeen And this is a hard one here. Therefore to him. that know what to do good then. doeth not to him that sin. You know, we call it practice. procrastination.

Speaker: today when we hear something from god and we don't do it we say well i procrastinate he told me to do something here but i didn't do it well i finally did Well, actually that's wrong. We actually sin. it's a sin procrastination sin it's not uh just a little pretty word like procrastination or i stalled off i didn't quite do it when i should have done it that's not it at all what happened is it's actually sin and we call it what it is you see and we have to recognize When God speaks, you and I are supposed to listen.

Speaker: Because he knows what's best for us. And a lot of times, if we don't listen when he speaks, we miss the boat. We miss the blessing, whatever it might be. miss We miss what we need to do, what we need to hear, you see. That's why it's so important, especially in this hour, for discernment, listening and hearing and drawing close to the Lord. This is the hour to get as close as you can possibly get. Because I talked this over with Sabina. I talked this over with a lot of people. you know

Speaker: Who do you trust? What do you believe today? What people are saying. Who do you believe in a lot of times? Who do you really believe? There's only one thing you can believe, and that's called the B -I -B -L -E and the Holy Spirit.

Speaker: the bible and the holy spirit that's the only thing you can put your trust in you know we we trust i i put confidence in people with some people i do but we all you have to somehow we do we do depend on one another for things let's be honest about this thing but the bottom line is let's be truthful with one another let's be loyal to one another let's let's be as good as our word to one another that's where the real problem is i know some people have ministered and they're active preaching doing it that you know we we preach teach and all that

Speaker: But... are you Do you have integrity? Are you as good as your word to one another? Or... You tell somebody something, not do it. or just leave them hanging you see and that's been a big thing with christian people a lot of times and that's not that's really that's being here but not doing the word because that's integrity right there being faithful

Speaker: being honest about things. And our our character is the biggest thing we get going for us. That's more important than our giftings or preaching or teaching or anything because our character is who we are. Amen. She said I shared and invited. Thank you. Thank you. thank you yes and Please share, share, share, and invite right where you are right now. Invite these people in, okay, because we want as many people to hear the word as possible. Amen.

Speaker: Amen. Now, here's here's here's what we're goingnna this lesson is about now. We've talked about... being a hearer and a doer. Well, let's ask if sir if there's anything I see today.

Speaker: It is a lack. of being that being a hearing a doer i know a lot of people here with their ears and no can quote it but they aren't doers of it. And why is that? That's that's what the question, we're going to talk about the question, why are people heroes and not do it? Just why are they just heroes and fail to do?

Speaker: I mean, you could say that about so many people. that A lot of people are fearful, and that's why so many evil people get in. Well, we could say politically, because a lot of the the fainthearted... and and weak -minded and... in the spineless people the enemy tries to come in and run over our government tries to run over the world And it's because the people don't stand up and be counted.

Speaker: the fearful. And that's truly what this is to be a hero, not a doer, because many people, that's one of the aspects of it. But let's let's start with the first thing of why.

Speaker: People are hearers and not doers. Okay, and this is a good one. That's from Ecclesiastes 11 .4. Okay, it's waiting for perfect timing.

Speaker: A perfect timing in your eyes. In other words, Lord, I'm waiting for the time where I can do this. I'm waiting where I can see it my way clear. Okay, here's what that scripture says. But there are some things that you cannot...

Speaker: Be sure of. You must take a chance if you wait for perfect weather. you will never plant your seeds. If you are afraid that every cloud will bring rain. You will never harvest your crops. Okay. when you're waiting for the perfect timing for everything what happens you'll never do it because you won't see a perfect timing you see because who knows the timing better than god

Speaker: God directs you to do something, but I don't have this thing here. I can't do this. now I'm not ready to wait, Lord, till I have this and I can see this, then I'll do it. What? Don't you think God, when he tells you to do something, don't you think it will work out in spite of you not being able to wait your wait see your way clear to do it?

Speaker: We want to judge by our own eyesight, by our own eyes. In other words, God says something, but we need to see our way clear. We're not trusting God. that sees everything and knows everything when he tells to do something he knows what's going to happen but we're going by our eyesight the ones that we don't know the beginning of the end he does now Let me ask you this. Doesn't it make more sense when God says to do something? Do you think he purposely tells you to do something so you'll mess up and you'll fail?

Speaker: of course not he's not going to do it he's telling you to do something because he knows what's going to happen you see and what is that when you when god tells you to do something What are you to do?

Speaker: You're to trust him, aren't you? That's that little word trust. That's where trust comes in. So do you really trust God? do we really trust god we trust god's word or do we say well uh i could do all things through christ that strengthens me i can do these things then when the challenge comes to do them we say well i don't have this i don't have that i just can't do it i don't have this i don't have that I can do all things through him. So that means that I don't have to supply it.

Speaker: He's the supplier of it. Amen. Hey. Wendy. uh but he's a supplier of it, you see. That's something we have to get resolved. just These first two little things are talked about here so far. Whatever he tells you to do something, remember he's the supplier of it.

Speaker: Hey! reply or supplies you and furnishes you with the power the people the money you name it the favor anything it takes to get that job done he's assigned you to he supplies it so don't look for yourself and on yourself, like,

Speaker: I can tell you experiential knowledge on these things. I've used my own report on this. We started our first church years ago. I knew nothing about the legal aspects. I knew nothing about setting up the Constitution Bible. I knew nothing about nothing. I knew how to preach. I knew the Word of God, but I didn't know the mechanics of a church.

Speaker: What happened? I was in there not knowing anything. god saw that i got the information first of all i got a christian lawyer in ministry and he was a great help and then there's other people came along i had people who educated me along the way to do that you see i had help amen In other words, you can't do everything yourself.

Speaker: You can't do everything yourself. and And that's where God comes in because he sees that you get the people, you get the favor, you get whatever you have need of. But you see, if I would have said, well, God, I don't know anything about, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know how to set things up like that legally. Well, what would have happened?

Speaker: But I have found over the years that and many other things that I've done, he's put me in places I knew nothing about it. I knew nothing about nothing. but it just happened to walk out even now in this present time i'm involved in some things you know as far as on online and doing some things i had to get in some some really some stuff And it really was kind of brain twisting. But I feel so good that I did an accomplishment.

Speaker: tech type things you know and computer and everything like that now i'm doing things that like that it makes me feel good but i know it's not me doing it because i'm not educated in that you see i didn't go to college for technology or anything but you see Sometimes you get involved in things and you're called to do things and say, my have is what do I know about that? And you start to look around and you know look things up. and sends people to you asking questions but the thing about it is

Speaker: And God oversees that, that you get the knowledge you need to have in order to accomplish whatever you're supposed to do. And we have to trust God for that. So when he tells you to do something.

Speaker: Just know that, hey, God's going to see me through this because he never leaves me. He never forsakes me. He's always with me. He's directed me. And if I just acknowledge my ways to him, he will direct me the pathway, what I need to do to accomplish what I have to do. So you've got to get that issue resolved in your heart. Now, we're just waiting for timing. Business is not it at all. because And waiting for timing, you're calling your own shots. You're you're you're the judge of your own life and you're determining which way to walk. You're saying, well, I'm going to. Hello. Walk the steps, I think.

Speaker: Doesn't the Lord say in Proverbs 3, 5, and 6, we acknowledge him in all our ways and he will direct our paths? Yes. And that that that's the whole thing about it. You know, that's that's that's a...

Speaker: the human nature human nature has to be in charge has to see and make sure by themselves can i do this because it's feasible and that was true before we knew the lord but we don't have to do that anymore because we're not on our own anymore we were and even before we knew the lord lord was doing some things we didn't even know about but now that we know the lord he's in his spirit his anointing his wisdom we have his strength his power his provision his promises for us and we have to take that

Speaker: to heart we have to put that in our lives and go to sleep at night trusting god's going to work a little while and that's it You've got to come to that place, folks. And you will. You can come to that. It's not that hard. I know I've fought that for many years, but I'll tell you, I would be dead or in an institution if I didn't do that now.

Speaker: Let me tell you, folks, I know what. dealing with the devil is and and he he shows no mercy i mean he he'll hit you anyways and so many people Just don't know how to fight.

Speaker: They don't know how to fight. I see a lot of weak -kneed Christians. I'm telling a lot of weak -kneed preachers that just don't know how to do the the warfare. A lot of them are talkers about things, but they aren't too much in a lot of mouth, but that's about it. it But I'll tell you what, you find out who what you're made of when you get put in the hard places. And that's what we're talking about. We want to be strong when we get to these hard places. because God wants us there, you see. Okay, that's the first thing. to determine

Speaker: the time you do you'd go the time that the lord says amen he says jump you don't say when should i jump I want you to jump now. Well, Lord, I don't feel like jumping. No, he said, I told you to jump now or she should save me. How high?

Speaker: How high? that's thats He wants our obedience. That's what he wants. Complete yielding and complete obedience. Okay, next thing. What's the other reason why we... don't We're heroes, but we aren't doers. Why?

Speaker: Why don't we do? We hear all this, but why don't we do it? Well, number two. is unbelief. Let me read the scripture for that. Okay. It's ah yeah.

Speaker: Hebrews 4 -2. For unto us was the Gospel. Please. as well as unto them. But... the The word was preached. did not profit them not being mixed with faith.

Speaker: And then them. That hurt it. In other words, They were preached a word like us. He it was talking about a certain group of people there during the time, Jewish people. The word was preached to some, and they heard it, and they they prospered. But the word was preached to them.

Speaker: these other people but they had no faith for it they didn't believe it they heard it but they hear they had head noise but they didn't apply it they didn't actually believe it so unbelief they heard it but they actually didn't believe it The other people.

Speaker: Heard it. and they say i believe it and i'm going to put it to practice in my life But the other said, hey, I don't believe it. I'm not going to put that to practice. I'm not going to take that chance because. They didn't add faith to it. It was a mixture of faith.

Speaker: Yeah. unbelief. is some simply taking the Word of God. and not having faith in it. Nope. believing to do it just like when peter when he walked on water he could he was jesus said to come out in the water with him he beat him to come out in the water well jesus i can't walk on the water i know how sick you can walk and well you're jesus but i can't walk in the water Did he question it?

Speaker: No, he didn't question all. He just got out of that boat and walked, you see. He believed that. He believed Jesus said, well, Jesus is a word, right? So the word that we're reading the Bible is Jesus' word. That's Jesus speaking right there. So if he said, greater am I in you than he that's in the world, he means greater is he in us than he that is in the world, which is the devil, right?

Speaker: We have to, you know, we hear those things. How how often we heard those things? How often have we heard those things? Hundreds of times. But do we believe them? We really take them to heart. this see if That's a transition right there. That's a transition here and doing right there. Good evening, Jenny. hey jenny good to have you too okay you yeah everybody

Speaker: First of all, we we have two things right there now, okay? Two reasons we have. We have waiting for the perfect timing. We have our unbelief that we don't dare to do what the word says. Now, what else do we have?

Speaker: Okay. Okay. Okay. Through family heritage. Oh, this is a good one here. Okay, Mark 7, 23. Making the word of God of... None of that. through your tradition.

Speaker: which you have. delivered and many such. Like things. You do. Okay, let me read that again. Mixing making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered.

Speaker: and many such like things to you or for you. Okay. What you have. What you have. oh Hold yourself. Yes, honey. The reef is on our bedroom door and it looks like it's on the top of Ed's head.

Speaker: There's my head, here. up my head See that? I was thinking about moving that roof. Yeah, I think we're going to have to move that. I mean. call me seller And then Jenny or Jenny. um Leo said something and now Shirley said something. want me upp move it No, that's okay.

Speaker: It looks like a halo, but it's not on his head. yeah Yeah, I've seen that too. i Thank you for saying that. I kind of understand where you're coming from. okay they gave you something to laugh at right a little levity here yeah okay family heritage, tradition of men. Well, grandma believed this. Grandpa meant that, and believed that. Tradition, you know, in other words.

Speaker: people a lot of times how they're brought up. they act the way you know it's like some families they were taught to hate people by their family And they hate people because their family taught them that way. they They raised your children that way. That's why why it's so important to trample a child the way it's been given. When he becomes old, he will not depart from it. It says Proverbs 22, 6. By the word of God, we raise him up. But some people raise him up and hate lustful things, dirty things. cheating, corruption as their example.

Speaker: being the example of doing those bad things, you see. And that that tradition of people is by the actions, not just... that grandma did this and grandma believed that and grand grandpa believed that. and things like that, just like the Jewish people there. They were after tradition to the family, they full tradition. But listen.

Speaker: I have learned. Over the years here, so and these later years in particular, I have learned the things that I believe about different things that are in the scripture were that are not really in the original or not right.

Speaker: some of the things it's nothing in the realm of things about your salvation i think but some of the some of the things bless hey blessings harold but it's just some of the things that are said you know you learn you grow them the meaning of things you say and a lot of things are after traditions but we're after truth Traditions. It's 732. Herald 732.

Speaker: Our time. Yes. It's traditions. of of men. But you lay aside traditions. Don't matter what your parents said and did or your grandparents or your pastor or anybody else. Forget about what anybody says and put your head in the book.

Speaker: And in the spirit of God and listen to the word of God, leave the Holy Spirit directly. You don't go by what man says. I don't care who they are. Never go by what man says. Go by what somebody says, but then try the spirits.

Speaker: Draw the spirits by the word of God and by the Holy Spirit and see what you witness you get. I've had things happen to me that the whole room was thought they were. saints, beautiful people, and there was something wrong and it wound up being demonic.

Speaker: I've seen it happen many times, not many times, but a good number of times. And and that's sad because today Christian people are are naive. Many Christians, they don't know what good is, what bad is. They don't understand things.

Speaker: and that that that's always troubled me that's why i guess i have such a a hunger and passion for teaching people the word of god and preaching the word of god to them because uh we need to know what the book says in order to get out of the book what God wants us to get.

Speaker: My people were destroyed for lack of knowledge, Hosea 4 .6. to say. Tells us that. And if we go by tradition, the manner of what so -and -so said and what they said for all these years, we're going to be behind times. we're going to be wrong.

Speaker: Today, we're learning new things. The Bible says knowledge will increase in these last days. Knowledge will increase. Things are going to increase. People will be exposed for what they are. And we're seeing that. People are being exposed for what they ah really are. A lot of people you thought were all that were not all that. And a lot of things we thought we knew, we didn't know.

Speaker: believe you me i've i've had some things that i've learned that i've talked for years and god changed my mind and it showed me the right thing i'm being caught too i've been in a lot of years and i'm being taught by a lot of things like this you know so be open by the spirit because i know

Speaker: When you are open like that and you have a teachable spirit, God shows you what truth is, and then it starts to come together like a puzzle. A lot of these things you say, well, I wonder why this happens, why it's like this or why it's like that. Well, he showed me a lot of answers to whys and things about people, why things are happening to certain people, why this is happening. I don't understand it because the word is not right or what is it. He showed me some things about that. He put some things in the Bible.

Speaker: to like to me on things like i don't really want to teach them on here i won't teach them i talk about somebody i got to watch what i say because it's just not i don't like to talk and think about but there's some things i know that i'm a peace about things because i know what it takes you see i know it takes to live a godly life and be honest and open before god with the right purposes and motives behind it you know That's the the key thing that we have to be like Paul, examine ourselves. So if we want to keep ourselves straight, we got to examine ourselves daily, don't we?

Speaker: It's a daily thing. For me it is. a daily thing to make sure I'm straight. Amen. Okay. So... You don't listen to what people said or what they said, when they said it or whatever. You. Know for yourself. Find out for yourself. That means you have to not be lazy. You need to get in there and then you need to apply it. Say, hey, I want to prove this word in my life. Lord, help me to prove it, to understand it, to see this work for me. And he'll do that because he wants you to prove his word.

Speaker: He wants you to prove his word in your life because that's when you can become fully persuaded. Hey, guess what? That book is true. Okay, let's move along a little further. Next thing is Sue misunderstanding. Boy.

Speaker: Whoa. Okay, who's there for six? my people were destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou hast rejected knowledge. I was to reject thee.

Speaker: That doubt. That thou shalt be. be no Priest to me. Yes. Now forget us the law of thy God. i will no longer Forget.

Speaker: Thy children. Okay. be destroyed because of lack of knowledge, okay, or misunderstanding. misunderstanding a lot of time is when you listen to people, one person will say this, one person will say that.

Speaker: and they'll be talking out of misunderstanding the word and be you'll be confused. You'll be right in the middle of it or somebody will just talk them what their opinion is, what they think it is. A lot of people interpret scripture by their thoughts. not by the Holy Spirit.

Speaker: In other words, that's why we have so many denominations, because somebody with determining and looking at scripture. by their thoughts.

Speaker: Instead of by rightly dividing that word of truth, you see. There's one faith, one truth, one spirit, one God, right? But we have... A group here, a group here, a group there. And that's been the greatest divider of all things because the Bible says a house divided will fall, right? And the devil saw to it that a lot of people would start to interpret things and do things their way. And then they divide up and have their little group here, another little group there, another little group there. But God said, no, he said.

Speaker: i want One group. In fact, Jim Baker used to say this, and I always love this saying. He said, when the church is O -N -E. The world will be W .O .N. 1 -1, you see, because a lot of people are out there, they're saying, who's right? Who's right? Is this one right? Is that one what this in nomination right? right?

Speaker: And you see, that's confusion. And the confusion of God. My Bible doesn't tell me confusion of God. That's of the devil, and he's done a very good job of confusing people. So right there, that's another reason that people...

Speaker: uh don't Do the word in other words they hear it, but they don't do it because they're confused And confused brings fear. When you're confused, you're not going to step out to something. You're not going to have confidence in doing it. You're confused. You don't know, say, is this right or is that right? But that's why you the other know the truth. And what's it say? that We know the truth will truth will make us free. Join 832, right?

Speaker: It's the truth we know that makes us free. The truth doesn't make you free. The truth that you know. So you have to know and when it says you know it doesn't it's not talking about just head noise to begins up here But what it it leads to is down here. You have to know it in here because when you know it in here, you're going to step out of that boat onto that water.

Speaker: If you know it up here. Not in here. You won't do it. You're going to be double -minded. What's the Bible say about that? A double -minded man will think you receive nothing, to see because you're unstable in all your ways. That's why you don't receive if you're double -minded, because you're unstable. You might do it this time, won't do it that time. Next time you do it, you're zigzagging all over the place. say Yeah. But you have to be fully persuaded. Knowing means revelation of it. Knowing means that you will do it. If you won't do what your head knows.

Speaker: It's only in your head but If you do. What? you think you know. If you know it, you're going to practice it. Not practicing what you know is knowledge in your head, but doing what you know.

Speaker: is in your heart, okay? They're about 16, 18 inches away, right? So, I mean, you've got to really, these these are things. Excuse me. I'll take a drink here.

Speaker: These are issues we have to have settled you know that's what happens you know people have issues And they never get them settled. They only go so far with it. They never do become mature. They have a head knowledge. They quote it.

Speaker: They are testimony, but they just never partook of it themselves. You see? Okay. Number five. Through false teaching that you hear. Oh, Lord.

Speaker: Well, today that's rut relevant. Okay, what's Colossians 2 .8 says? Beware lest any man spoil you through greed. your brain philosophy.

Speaker: in vain the sea after the list of men. After the rudiments of the world. and not after Christ. Okay. I'm going to say you something right now theres Here's a fine line here.

Speaker: There's a lot of tax. on The prosperity gospel. Now, the prosperity gospel. Some have went too far with it.

Speaker: And really, that's why that it's there, because they went too far. They're wrong. Others. have not gone far enough. We have people saying that how people say I'm going to this and I'm gonna do that Like you're paying God.

Speaker: But then... The ones who have not gone far enough, they'll denounce the fact that we have authority over... spirits. they they All they want to believe is you can tell them about Jesus, but never take authority over the spirits like it says in Luke 10, 19, and 20.

Speaker: What happens? We have authority but they don't believe we have spiritual authority because these people have went so far into things. they just took them threw the baby out with the bathwater somebody's place i heard that a ah good minister for around here very prominent minister very very respected And he was with the Church of God, or was with the Church of God, Pentecostal. He was saying some things. He was writing some of the things he said. But...

Speaker: Because he kept going on. Where is your spiritual authority you're supposed to use? You see, they stripped themselves of authority. In other words, Because some people have been misusing something. They cut the whole thing out.

Speaker: Is the truth to what we're to do it doesn't mean the message is wrong but the message is is but overplayed There you go. place in the message and we speak of truth.

Speaker: it's another part that goes too far there's another part that you're far enough And if you're on either one of those, it's a spoiler. Good. To get in the right place, you have to recognize, hey, the Bible does say this. It's almost like speaking in tongues.

Speaker: The Bible speaks of speaking in tongues. And we've been talking about that Get into that now. But what happens is we're speaking in tongues that's in the Bible. It's very crystal clear.

Speaker: Some people do not because of bad experiences, what they heard or missed understanding about it. it said which We talked about that several weeks ago. But the thing about is there's a truth And your responsibility is to get the truth of what the word says, what the Bible says about it. Look at that. Let that tell you.

Speaker: Because when you do that, you're going to see. the error of many people's ways. Some too much, some too little. But you've got to get there yourself. you and the lord because that's the way the lord intended it When we don't go after things personally ourselves, what happens is we're going to get deceived because we're going to put our trust... And somebody, maybe they don't know what they're talking about.

Speaker: lead us up the wrong path, you see. But if you get in the word yourself. and you lead the spirit guide you and you pray about that thing you're going to learn those things i know god I'm going to be honest with you. we we Don't have a home church. him where We've had our churches before in the past. weeks pastor being there.

Speaker: But God had them had me go to a church. I'm involved more in the Word of God than most pastors are. I deal with them more than most pastors. I'm in it more than most pastors are. But we don't have a home church except we have a, Larry Huck's our church on Streamline. Streaming, or not streaming, but streaming. He's our pastor.

Speaker: God has kept me free and he moved me away from these big ministries. uh years ago a lot of these names people now and uh anyhow i can see why because that keeps me pressed to name any of them i mean i've dealt with most of them with that and what has happened uh he's just led us away from it because he's the reason he does that he wants you to learn yourself it's not just pointing out that they're wrong or they're right. But the matter is, he said, I want you to get it yourself.

Speaker: That's really what it's about so much. It's not so much who's right and who's wrong. The deal is you want to be right, sir. The Holy Spirit is your teacher, right? And the Word of God. Okay. Let's move along a little bit further than that right now.

Speaker: Because what happens, you know, we get in the air. when we have that false teaching and it's so much of that now uh some people pointing the finger at a lot of people. I don't go for that either because it's... The sinners see that and they wonder about confusion, but yet.

Speaker: Paul pointed out people that were wrong. So you better be sure and God better be telling you to do it because I don't have a ministry of pointing out people. I know some people have a ministry of pointing out ministry, but I don't.

Speaker: I don't like to go with anything like that. It's a negative thing. If God tells me to say something, I'll say it, but I don't. I want to talk about Jesus. I don't want to talk about people. I just want to say that's why it's so important that we don't get so involved with any of these ministries. About anything, we get involved with the Holy Ghost, and as a spirit leader, he'll lead us what to do.

Speaker: Okay, the next thing, laziness. Okay. Songs. 10 -4 Okay. He becometh. poor that dwell or yeah, deal with a slack hand.

Speaker: but the hand of the diligent. make us rich. if you have a slack hand or a lazy hand you become poor But if you have a a diligent hand. What the Bible says is you... become rich.

Speaker: A lazy man doesn't give a word for it, let's face it, right? If you're lazy, you're not going to do things. You're going to depend on other people to do it for you. You're not going to do it at all. Dan. If you don't do anything, you're not going to get anywhere, right?

Speaker: If you don't sow, you don't reap. And that's the thing with God. God doesn't give it. He multiplies a multiplier. The Holy Ghost is the doer. He's your helper. He's your helper. Remember, so that means you're doing something. He's enabling you by the power of God to do it. But you have to be active in doing it, you see.

Speaker: but not laying back and not doing the things that That you want to do or not there, but you have to be active Because when you're not active, well, like they used to say, the idle hands of a person is the devil's workshop. And that's really true. Idle hands are a devil's workshop because. You're not. doing anything and you know we've been called to be doers and givers We'd be called up.

Speaker: Be really, I like to call it like a uh thing where we receive in into us. And then we give out. So like a receptacle is a word for it. I use a lot of time. I don't have the word in my mind tonight, but it comes into you. Like God gives it to you. When you get it, you enjoy it and you give it up.

Speaker: Huh? huh I said, hey Phil. Hey, yes, praise God. You know? Uh... But you're yet what you are, you're a reservoir.

Speaker: It receives and also you give it out, you see. That's the purpose of of receiving from God is to be a giver. Because God with give it began with God, you see. And that's why our life doesn't go very well if we aren't receiving and giving out.

Speaker: It's like the prayer of Jabez that I did here on the program, which is ah on there the other day. Sabina and I did that yesterday on Sunday. And the prayer of Jabez is the very thing that keeps us alive and going forward because that's the the prayer that covered everything. pertains to everybody that's a prayer for everybody not just the five -fold ministries but whosoever will.

Speaker: we all have a ministry we all have ah a job that god decided to do and ah if you listen to that when it's on i have it posted right there too i think it's on now and i keep those things posted but if you'll take those you think about those and you pray about those things he opens the door and leads your steps so you are doing what you're supposed to do and what he's called you to do you say You have a calling and he directs your steps. You don't try to do it. You just listen to him and let him direct you. ah We complicate things, you know.

Speaker: We complicate them by trying to figure it out and do it ourselves. And we're not smart enough to figure it out because his ways and thoughts aren't ours. They're above ours. And if we don't yield ourselves to him and obey him and his word and his timing.

Speaker: We're not going to fulfill what he tells us to do. So we have to recognize that.

Speaker: uh with uh being lazy you know in other words be aggressive be aggressive be ever learning and and everything that you do learn be ready be ready instant now the season you know be on fire for jesus paul told timothy he said stir up that gift within you stir up that gift that within you the gift of the holy ghost and we have to stir the gift up ourselves you see we have to be willing to say lord Film me. Set the fire of Jesus on me. Let that anointing be in my life. Fill me with your spirit. Fill me with your love, your power. Strengthen me. Give me a greater des desire. Help me do a better job. Help me to live for you in a better way. I give it all to you, Lord.

Speaker: for me to live as you, for me to live as you. Give it all to him. You've got to have that attitude every day. That's your everyday attitude. I have a bad attitude right there. Amen. We have to do that, don't we, Sabina? When you do that, because we need to keep fired up. Don't let that fire go out. That's why I told Timothy that. A lot of people are leaving that fire and that oil go out of them, but you've got to keep yourself fired up. That's your job.

Speaker: That's not God's job. It's your job. you know people want to make money they want to make for retirement they want to have money now they want to get nice things to do this and that they put forth they're going to do it many of them don't they Well, what's more important, that or our economy?

Speaker: It's more important for our eternity, for eternity, something that never ends, than for the life we live here on earth. Even though we do it here, of course, we do, but yet he says, seek forth the kingdom, these things will be added to you.

Speaker: that doesn't mean you don't do anything but it does mean priorities are priorities He's first priority, right? Amen. Okay. Yes, we belong. Number seven. By the way, I got nine of them, so I got this one and two more.

Speaker: Not rightly vying the word of God. Okay, 2 Timothy 2 .15. Say the show that's self approved. unto god a workman that regardeth not to be ashamed.

Speaker: rightfully dividing the word of truth. Okay. The way you divide the word of truth. First of all, Something that you read should be at least two or three times in the Bible before you really take it and make a doctrine out of it.

Speaker: Because you can back through the Old Testament New Testament and there's a ah theme in there You know? It's just like Isaiah. uh 53 .5 you know he tells us you know that the By His stripes you are healed. And then second... tim Yeah, tim fourth yeah.

Speaker: Philippians 2 .13 and different scriptures it has in there that by his stripes you were healed you see okay by his stripes You are healed. Isaiah 53, 5.

Speaker: and by his shapes you were healed. Got that? In other words, we are healed. Now. Because past tense is good. it's past the time of christ was resurrected but before that time was before christ right Okay.

Speaker: We have to recognize things like that. That's continuity of Scripture. Or you'll have a flow of Scripture, what will happen to you, that you'll you'll see something. ah Well, okay, just like the Red Sea. The things that are happening now in this time, this hour that we're in now is exactly like the Red Sea.

Speaker: what's happened there, you know, the 10 plagues. And then, of course, the Red Sea is a certain limit, you know. and then the the transfer of wealth to the wicked. They had to transfer the wealth to the wicked there before they left Egypt, remember? They got everything and took it, and everything was taken care of. I mean, these are things that go together.

Speaker: You see? they They come into a place that it confirms what happened then as to now. So a lot of things you'll get from the Old Testament prophetically that happened back then are happening now, be repeating themselves like the fall of the Roman Empire.

Speaker: Follow the empires now. And I'll tell you something else that's going on right now. You saw many times in the Old Testament how when God defeated the country, They defeated themselves. They fought within themselves and killed one another, right? The Jewish people, the Israelites didn't fight at all. They just stood there.

Speaker: Watch them defeat themselves. Okay, what do you think's going on now? Look what's going on in politics right there. Aren't they defeating themselves? A lot of them right now, they're going down. People are going down and they're going against God. The same way, because eventually...

Speaker: Bye. eat their own they destroy themselves that's how god many times gets rid of people because they they destroy they just let them destroy themselves you see they have reprobate minds and they're like cannibals they just tear one another pieces that's the way it's that we don't always do all the fighting because many times they didn't have to fight In fact, and in the end times right here, Russia is going to come against Israel. israel They're not going to draw ah a gun.

Speaker: God's going to destroy Russia. That's when the tribulation begins in a second country's gonna attack Israel and around he'll be China So, I mean, if this thing is... up repetition. This is God's way of doing something. So we're seeing a little bit of what's happening now. They're annihilating themselves.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Now weightily divine the word of truth. There's always a confirmation of at least two or three, the out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, let everything be established. don't make a doctor out of something you just read one time but see the setting of it what's it pertaining to you know was it pertaining to just them at a certain period of time.

Speaker: What was the condition of it? What was the setting of it, you know? It's just like when they yeah wanted to, I'll give you a good example. Watering the stock, they talked about watering one another's stock when they went to the lathe to take the buckets of water and and water the animals and everything. That was quite a job because they didn't just walk over the well and get water and put it in there. They had the many times they had about an 80 -foot.

Speaker: deep ladder they had to get down and carry the water up from below doing different places there at times. It was ah really a tough job. It wasn't just going somewhere and pumping some water out. There's a lot of settings that... does that we don't really know what they were unless we really see it and have an understanding of that just how difficult it was so many things we kind of go over things uh or let Let's do another thing.

Speaker: uh and rightly inviting we talk about faith and and commitment and standing to the last minute abraham gave us a fine example with his son or not didn't it when isaac was being ready that he was going to sacrifice him he had the knife ready to get down on him before he saw that ram in the thicket right there now would you talk about your own child put him to death. And he even told the people when they came up, there's two men that came there with him. and They said to him, he said, my boy and I are going to be back.

Speaker: We're going to be back after a while. well he knew that number one either god would make a way that didn't have to sacrifice i think or he'd raise him from the dead but nevertheless he went and he followed through the last second and he had that knife ready to bring down that's when it happened it wasn't five minutes before, a minute before, and then look to be, is your son willing to allow his father to do that? Because that boy was maybe 17, 18 years old. He was probably able to resist his father, you'd say. So you have to kind of think about these things, and you have to...

Speaker: know just exactly what it was you get more of an understanding about it you see Okay.

Speaker: Fear of man. well that's one of the big ones isn't it to be a fear of man matthew 10. 28. And fear not them which can kill the body.

Speaker: but are not able to kill the soul. but rather feel him fear him or who is able to destroy. both soul and body. In hell. In other words,

Speaker: Okay. You know, the fearful, the Bible says in Revelation, the fearful will have their place with the adulterers or murderers, everything else in hell. the lake of fire.

Speaker: the lake for the final destination they'll have their place to fearful Now. What that is folks. You know what it really is. Stop and think about it. If we are holding back.

Speaker: God And we don't say things in the fear of man. Well, they might think I'm goofy or i they won't like me. I won't fit in or they won't like what I say or maybe they'll fire me. They don't want me around or whatever. If we hold back.

Speaker: from doing what God wants us to do and the fear what man will say or do. That's bad news. That's very bad. And that's why a lot of people. Do not do that. That's why a lot of people don't come to the place. of being a doer of what they're supposed to do, the Word, because the Word is Jesus, and we do what His Word says. And when you don't... well Okay, Ephesians 5 .11. Have no fellowship with the unfaithful works of darkness, but reprove them.

Speaker: How many people see people doing evil things? And then when they do the evil things. they just kind of don't want to say anything about they want to just keep out of that thing i don't want to get involved with that i'm not going to say anything i don't want to turn them people against me i don't want to get in any confrontation but yet They will. not do anything.

Speaker: But they'll let them keep going. And if they let them keep going, don't say anything or don't go against it and rise up in truth, they're going to keep multiplying because they can get away with it even if it keeps on going, right? You have to nip it in the bud by standing up against it. First of all, have no fellowship with the untruthful work of darkness, but reprove them. In other words, speak what it is, make a stand on what we're going to do as Christians, you see.

Speaker: But a lot of people don't do that. A lot of people that just... things happen they allow it to go and they wonder why of the communists get in the government they wonder why the communists do this and why they rise it up Well, the Bible says, doesn't judgment begin in the house of God, Sabina?

Speaker: Amen. Why do you think it begins in the house of God? I'll ask you. I don't want to put you on the spot. but i You just put me on the spot. I won't put you on the spot. I don't want to put anybody on the spot. It's a very simple answer, though, because it's our fault.

Speaker: That's why. It's a church's fault the world's the way it is. That's why judgment begins in the house of God. Not on the government, not on this one or that one, but on the church. Because we are doing our job the way we should, say.

Speaker: he's tried to He's reminding us of these things. He's giving us a little warning of these things. But the the time is short, folks. These these are messages. that a lot of people don't like to hear.

Speaker: But I'll tell you what, I'd rather hear him here. Then before God then depart from me, I never knew you in the hell at or lake of fire. I mean, it's really serious, and a lot of people don't want to preach it. Some of them don't preach hell, and they don't preach judgment or anything else. They'll preach everything for it's to years.

Speaker: But I'll tell you what, I'd rather... Make my... changes here than I would the other place. Wouldn't you, Sabina? it'd be too late then there'll be a lot of screaming and wailing but i don't feel sorry for those people because they refuse to do it i mean i'm sorry there's absolutely no excuse for that i mean to be

Speaker: decent and human and loving and kind. We all have our flaws, but if we are purposely out to hurt people, to do wrong, to curse God, that is a terrible thing. you know that i can't I never was that way.

Speaker: In my life. I've seen, I've done some terrible things, but some of the attitudes of people, it's not even human. It's it's cannibalistic.

Speaker: It is. But the fear of man, so we have to just leave the cards. fall where they did. I've had times even when I was pastoring challenges. I think I've said this before. There was a couple when we started our first church and they were contributory financially and everything. They were our leaders and they knew leaders around because we were involved with some people with more of a hope. her profile around that they they were some educated people

Speaker: A lot of things are going on. We started our ministry in the firehouse, you know, and and anyhow it grew. and and we had about 100 people our first meeting we had all types of miracles going on and everything god was moving then we finally got into a building And this couple that was with us, they were very contributory towards us in all ways. And I was supposed to marry them.

Speaker: Well, God told me about a week before. Okay. I was gonna do the ceremony. Not to do it. And... I'll tell you what, when I did that, well, you you could almost guess what happened. They left. They were connected with the mainland.

Speaker: churches around there in the whole area and i i had i was a man with a reputation around there i'll tell you i really wasn't that because they did not like it i wasn't like but the people when they had needs they came to us the church would come that send us they want to get them delivered and healed but uh you know how that is in other words they go to their dead churches and put their money in there and sometimes we had you know they've come to us to receive them but we'd still minister to them we didn't turn people away even though your flesh you would feel like when people take advantage but the bottom line was these people

Speaker: uh actually put a bad word you might as well say just by that happening that we look bad but i thank god about eight months later because eight months later they were split up they were divorcing their marriage just went south completely i don't even know if they stayed in church but that's what it was i've had that happen a few times but that was a main line of time now i could have went on i could have did that thing just obeyed god went along but i got some slack

Speaker: some flack out of it didn't with samila it wasn't too pleasant there they didn't exactly hold me up too well but there's times you have to just do the right thing people i you know i'm convinced if the whole world doesn't like me and against me If I'm doing the right thing, pleasing God, then I'm happy because I stay happy. I've been in that place before by myself.

Speaker: My wife and I know these things. I understand loneliness, being by yourself. We know these things. But the thing about it is I still rejoice and praise God in it because I got his peace, his love, and his presence. I got it. but If God's for you, who can be against you? we can Doesn't that prove it? To me, that that's where you link that verse to. If God's for me.

Speaker: Who can be against me? yeah Okay. And or let's move along here a little bit from that. Fear of failure. 413 Philippians. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Speaker: Okay, I could do all things you Christ just did with me. That should be the answer to everything we face, you know that? Ask me why. You're assigned anything to do.

Speaker: Doesn't that tell me that, hey, I can't do it by myself Right. Through Christ, I can do all things. so therefore i can't be stopped but what i'm going to do if i have to do a certain thing i'm going to do it because the lord's with me left it too tough for god And Jesus said, hey, there's nothing impossible with me or with him. With me, he said, there's things impossible for you, Ed.

Speaker: But with the Father, there's nothing impossible. So you got to look at life that way, people. If you're called to do something, if I'm called to do something, when we're called, we got to dare to put our necks out there sometimes.

Speaker: the time you put your neck so you know they always started out doing about it. But I found when I put my neck out there, I said, no, God, block it or bless it. That's worked. And if he doesn't block it.

Speaker: Well, he blessed it. Then and I go on, I'm not going to say, oh, I guess I went in the wrong thing. I took the wrong thing or the wrong step. No, that's another reason why you always want to say block or bless it when you don't know exactly what to do. Because I'm going to admit to you, I don't always know, have a direct calling to know where I'm going and nobody does.

Speaker: They're lying if they tell you they do. But I'll tell you this. There's time you just got to step out there and if he doesn't block it. And his blessing is there in your face. is And I'm not going to say, well, God, maybe I shouldn't have been here. Because if he didn't stop me, I trusted he would have stopped me if he didn't want me to do it.

Speaker: If he didn't stop me, let him watch me do it, so I'm going to keep going ahead.

Speaker: i'm not going to quit doing this times i felt like quitting what we're doing now online and everything like that but he put me doing this for now so therefore i can't stop it and he showed himself in it so i can't and wouldn't stop it because i know he's in it that's why not because of people not because of evil results but because i know in the knower there's two things that govern you being the perfect will of god first of all you must feel it in your heart you must just sense it in your heart secondly Fruit comes from it.

Speaker: Some people say, well, if fruit coming from it, that's enough. No, it's not. You can say, well, ah you can be like, here we're in South Carolina. then talk about uh Or some other state. We'll say Kentucky, all right?

Speaker: All right. I can be here. and say, well, God wants me to stay here. No, I could go to Kentucky and see great results in Kentucky. Well, I guess God wants to me there.

Speaker: No, I can go back here and have great results. I can go to another place and have a great results. That doesn't signify that's where God wants you because you can use your gift places and God will ah bless it, you see.

Speaker: But. you won't have peace in here. about something no matter how many fruits or how many gifts are operating through you no matter what's operating through you won't have it unless you have it in your heart You see, you have to have that in the heart. You have to have that knowing that you're to be there there. You see, a lot of people, they get excited when they see things happen where they're going to say, oh, God must want me here. But no, you better make sure that.

Speaker: And the reason you want to make sure of it, when the hard times come, which they do, then you're not going to say to yourself, well maybe I made the wrong decision. there's time to that question coming down here to be honest with you from mac truck 40 years ago i gave up a high job that i had i had a lot more retirement money if i stayed with it i would have What I did, I gave it up.

Speaker: I came down here. We'll wait for an hour. And I question, but what I gain spiritually. Donald Trump couldn't pay for it. And and and also Elon Musk who wouldn't have enough money or the world wouldn't have enough because what I value from God. The world can't.

Speaker: pay for. all the tea in china and all the money in the world in other words what i got coming down here my wife and i believe my wife agreed with me on that and you can't you can't trade that folks you can't so when you know your your your pleasure is in the lord and what you do and the other things look dim to you and you're obeying him you have peace even though you're going through hard times rejoice because i tell you

Speaker: We have a time coming up. of reward for each other i wanted to tell you i didn't say it to the other or a while ago was talking about healing it's uh I said 53 .5.

Speaker: 1 Peter 2 .24, by his strength. you are healed that was in 53 5 and first peter 2 24 by his strength you were healed so before uh the cross was our after the cross that's already been done you see and that's where i was trying to show you a little something the bible the old new testament right there how they blend in back and forth and there's a lot of scripts you can use like in uh luke 4 18 the whole the anointing is upon me he called me you know the hills separated

Speaker: it all these things. Okay, Luke 4, 18, and also you get back in the Old Testament scripture back there, it speaks of these things. So, these things bear witness with one another but that's rightly vying that truth then having the inner witness about it you see Speaking of healing, now is the time to put your prayer requests in, or your testimonies.

Speaker: and I have a testimony to give you. I went to the heart doctor. this week. for a checkup. And when I went to the hospital in May, my blood pressure was...

Speaker: 210 over like 140. It was really high. And the whole stay in that hospital. they really had trouble getting my blood pressure down well when they took my blood pressure this past week It was 114 over 67.

Speaker: And my my heart count was 70. So that's awesome. for my age, 80 years old. So. I'm just giving God the praise on that.

Speaker: And I just thank God for bringing me through because. My life could've - I - I'm not - he said about the heart attack and i said well they told me it wasn't a heart attack And he just rolled his eyes at me.

Speaker: He said, Well, it was a mal heart attack. So... um And then it was of course it had to do with the cholesterol. and And it threw off i a... um Um.

Speaker: It was like a bubble there. Yeah, like a bubble and it busted. Yeah. He explained it anyhow. But that's so I'm doing well. So. I'm just looking for your prayer request right now. Yes, get your prayer request. And I'm going to put something else up here um at while we're doing this right now.

Speaker: and i ask and then we would tell you like we always do let the spirit guide you we don't say send this one it's never right to tell you to send this and that If people do that, that's wrong. The Lord tells you what to say, and I don't tell you.

Speaker: My wife doesn't tell you. Nobody else should tell you what the spirit tells you. But I've had a time that we needed something and I get money from people. Never would have even thought it was a cent anyway. That was just about a month ago, wasn't it?

Speaker: it we never and I was shocked. but I've been shocked by it at different times. But anyhow, that's why we trust God. He does it that way. So just please pray about it. Do you need your prayers?

Speaker: We need you to advertise for us to help us to get around for a new thing. We've got that started. It's starting to move. And I've picked up, like I said, about 30, 35 people that have come on that are American people, most of them American people that are with us in the extended hands of Jesus, seeing a lot of new faces and everything. And so God has grown it, but we need your help and all the earth cash out right there.

Lord, I just ask you to show him favor tomorrow. Show him favor. We've just come together. We are agreeing that you will show him favor tomorrow.

Speaker: according to your plan for him. That he can get a job. Because I know he needs work. He's been without work. And he he needs a job, a good job. So, Father, we just commit that according to your plan for him. But we're believing for work for him. Because he's been needing work. I know he's been without.

Speaker: And you said the vision for an important time to back it to three. ah Father, we believe it's it's to the hour.

Restoration and what's needed in your life. Restoration by God in your life right now. Restore you. restore your health, restore your wealth, your family, everything that's been stolen from you in the name of Jesus. He promises that. God said he would do it.

Speaker: Thank you, Lord. We thank you for that provision. We thank you for restoring, making things the right, setting things in order. good He's been working all day with the help of the Holy Spirit because He loses stuff, he drops stuff, and he forgets stuff.

Speaker: And he told me. The Holy Spirit told him, hey. it's over there But it's just too bad I can't afford to pay myself. but it will pay off in the long run since.

Speaker: you will direct his path. So as he's acknowledged you and wanting to know from you. Open his eyes and his mind and his heart up this way. It'll be beginning because this has been a new beginning time for him.

Speaker: But Lord, Help him in this area. Help him to see you in a clear way. and more understanding way in a very serious way. and to do and make the changes he needs.

Speaker: You know. ah You know, people. This is valuable what's going on here. I have never in my life, I've struggled sometimes, my throat tonight, getting the message out, my mind almost didn't quote 1 Peter 2 .24 that I've been doing over 50 years.

Speaker: It's been a battle getting through the words and everything. So you see how the devil's trying to stop it, but he can't stop it because we're standing on the word of God. We declare God's word. We speak that word. So you see, he can make it a little rough sometimes, folks. But when you go through it, hey, it goes through. And I'll tell you this, we're we're in for some big breakthroughs, people. We haven't seen the breakthroughs that are coming. You know that? We have not seen. We have not seen. And like I say, my wife, if you can find it, if she can find it, she's going to read that prophecy because it's been a very...

Speaker: thing that I've quoted. If I see that woman, I'd say, you must be listening to the programs or something because and it's what God put in my heart. it that This confirmation of what God wants to do. And I'm so excited about that. I'm so excited.

Speaker: about what god is going to do and in each and every life right here i want i want to uh I ask you now for any testimony or anything that you want to say. I'm going to open the floor for you right now.

Speaker: I think you're getting up to do that. Oh, I think she is. I think she's looking for that thing to read. That thing is so powerful. It would be a good thing to close the light on. but if you have anything to say anything right now write it down with my wife was looking for that i think I think she can find it right there. But any testimonies, any comments, anything you'd like to ask?

Speaker: Anything you'd like to declare?

Speaker: Yeah, I meant to say to her tonight, I meant to say to her about the about that right there. and I should have reminded her of it. We were doing some things there, and then, of course, we got started. and But that is so...

Speaker: So powerful. So powerful, everything it does. Breathe. Okay. Nothing. I don't believe anybody had a anything to say right now, right? I asked. Everybody hit that thing right now.

Speaker: And. Well, I'll just speak a little bit more while my wife's looking right there uh You know...

Speaker: ah On these programs right now, I just found out yesterday I have a lot more guests coming up, some great guests, which we were telling you about, the ones we had on now and then the other will be coming up here in a week or so. And then Bill, I think, and I are going to get on Bill Crenshaw. And I was told I have a lot more coming my way right here. And I'll tell you, we're just getting some wonderful guests here. Please. Look at those programs because I post everything on on the extended hand of Jesus or on even I post them usually both places. And sometimes I'll highlight them and a lot of times I'll highlight them or put followers on there. But be sure and listen to them because they're they're really beneficial because they have some things that you don't hear me say.

Speaker: You have things that others don't say because we all... have things that God has given to us to share with one another because none of us know it all. And we're all blessed by that. You guys ready?

Speaker: Oh yeah, who's this? Okay, this woman's name is Gail. Man is Zach. M -A -N -I -Z -A -K She says,

Speaker: Great change is coming. Our gracious Lord is reminding me. this morning of his mercy and grace. The portals of heaven are open for a grand move.

Speaker: of god which this world has never seen. Greater will be the end of this world. greater will... Will the end of this world be then its beginning?

Speaker: because of the many, many of those. who are now finding that Jesus is truly the only way. Those who have waited to see healing come. Those who have chosen.

Speaker: To want to be free. will be. I heard you whisper. I heard you say. Remember.

Speaker: This is morning. Okay. There's more to it now. Remember me, oh Lord. Those with doubt and fear and anxiety. Keep pressing in, believing.

Speaker: beyond your feelings. That is your faith in me. That faith alone my children will set you free. Those of you Down.

Speaker: In your homes, I have not forgotten you. Those with sickness, addictions. Change your habits. Sins feeling like maybe freedom does not exist for you.

Speaker: It is a lie from your enemy. for the son of god has already defeated the raging lies of hell to allow you to see You have been.

Speaker: blinded by the enemy. now because you have asked. You will see. A new day does exist. healing of body, mind, and soul for those who make a simple request.

Speaker: Lord, remember me. A time frame. The portal is open for each and every one. does not does not continue to resist Doors are flying open for this one and that one.

Speaker: Do not be ashamed as you were born into sin. Christ Jesus came to turn that around. offering to you new life within. You cannot imagine.

Speaker: You do not know how to enter in Holy Spirit. Thank you for helping each one. that has this desire to come into the Only door that will allow them in.

Speaker: Hearts are changed. like putting on a new set of clothing. If you want change, dear one. Jesus is doing the changing. Don't take them off those dirty clothes.

Speaker: Call on on his name. He has a new robe and new shoes for you. He will surely dress you anew. He is calling now. I know this morning there are many here.

Speaker: So many hearing. Choose life and all things new. Jesus alone can do this for you. Amen and amen. Amen. Receive that in the name of Jesus to the glory of God because God is going to glorify himself and he's going to reveal himself like nobody's ever seen him in the Bible even.

Speaker: you know it really is what has happened it's going to be on you know i've told you guys this for years and i've known this since 1981 i guess where they go back that

Speaker: prophetical testimony and what he's going to do. And that was what he was speaking about 45 years ago. He was telling me. And I've carried that for years. I've given testimony on that. made it i sent it all over the place hundreds of thousands probably have seen it and and uh and it's what it is it's what it is i never knew what it was to this time and a lot of these prophetical things are happening we don't know that some of the things were when they actually happen.

Speaker: some of the things that we know so if you want this if you want this prophecy i will send it to you In fact, I'll probably go ahead and send it to you when I get off of here. um But we thank you for being with us tonight. Amen. We pray that you have a blessed week.

Speaker: And we will see you next Monday. At 7 p .m. We love you. And come ah come expecting. Come expecting invite, invite, invite.
