HOW MIGHTY ARE YOU, JESUS?
BE GLORIFIED.
BE GLORIFIED, JESUS.
COME ON, LET'S SING THIS THIS MORNING
- WE WORSHIP YOU. COME ON, JUST WORSHIP HIM.
THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD,
JUST WORSHIP HIM.
LIFT UP YOUR VOICE AND LET GOD KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM.
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT TO HONOR GOD.
MORE THAN THE RICHNESS OF MEN, MORE THAN ANYTHING THAT
WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD,
THIS EARTH CAN OFFER US.
ACKNOWLEDGE YOU, WE GIVE OUR HEARTS, OUR LIVES,
LORD GOD OF THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN, WE WORSHIP YOU, WE
OUR ADORATION TO YOU, GOD.
WE SET OUR AFFECTION, WE SET OUR ATTENTION UPON YOU.
WE LIFT UP OUR VOICE, WE LIFT UP OUR LOVE.
UPON YOU, GOD, UPON YOU, UPON YOU, UPON YOU.
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
YOU ARE SO LOVELY, LORD.
WE LOOK TO YOU.
WE GAZE INTO YOUR EYES.
WE LONG FOR OUR HEART TO TOUCH YOUR HEART THIS DAY.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE IN OUR HEARTS THAT
WE GIVE TO YOU, GOD.
AND IN RETURN, WE RECEIVE YOUR LOVE.
WE RECEIVE YOUR HELP IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.
WE RECEIVE YOUR DIVINE TOUCH.
OH GOD, WE WORSHIP YOU.
WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE.
WE HONOR YOU.
WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING.
IT'S OUR PRIVILEGE TO SING TO YOU, GOD.
IT'S OUR PRIVILEGE TO LOVE YOU.
WE CHERISH THE MOMENT THAT WE HAVE WITH YOU.
IT IS THE GREATEST DESIRE OF OUR BEING,
THAT IS TO WORSHIP YOU, TO WORSHIP YOU.
OH, LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU.
WE WORSHIP YOU.
AND LORD, WE LOVE YOU.
WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE
WE LOVE YOU AND HONOR YOU.
TRULY WHO YOU ARE, GOD.
WE SURRENDER TO YOU
AND TO YOUR HOLINESS.
BESIDES LOVING YOU THAN TO PLEASING YOU.
OH GOD, THERE IS NO GREATER HONOR
THAT IS THE CRY OF MY HEART.
I WANT TO PLEASE MY FATHER.
AND I WANT TO BRING HONOR TO THE SON OF GOD.
AND I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS WANT TO BE MINDFUL
I NEVER WANT TO GRIEVE YOU.
OF YOU, HOLY SPIRIT.
OH, PRECIOUS SPIRIT OF GOD.
MY LIFE IS YOURS.
MY HONOR IS TO LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATE INIQUITY.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT SEE GOD.
HOW WE HONOR YOU TODAY.
BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART.
WE LOVE YOU.
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE SO COMPLEX,
YOU'RE SO SIMPLE.
THAT'S WHY YOU SAY, "COME AS A CHILD."
BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLICITY OF A GOD WHO IS SO COMPLEX.
YOU'RE THE ANCIENT OF DAYS AND SO FULL OF WISDOM.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID TO YOU, FATHER?
BY THE WORKS OF YOUR HAND.
AND LOOK AT THE CREATIVE WORKS THAT YOU HAVE MADE
YET THOSE SAME HANDS, AS POWERFUL AS THEY
ARE, ARE TENDER.
AND THEY WERE OPENED WIDE AS AN EXPRESSION
THROUGH YESHUA, THE SON OF GOD.
AND NOW YOU SAY, "COME, THOSE WHO ARE WEARY, THOSE WHO ARE
TROUBLED, THOSE WHO ARE SICK."
AND GOD, YOU ARE THE ANSWER.
YOU KNOW, I KEEP HEARING THAT SCRIPTURE IN MY HEART,
NOW TOUCH YOUR PEOPLE, I PRAY.
AS THE LORD IS JUST LOVING BACK ON US RIGHT NOW,
IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF OF
YOU'RE JUST GOING THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE,
YOU EVER FELT THAT BEFORE?
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ALL ALONE IN SOMETHING.
WHO IS IT?
"I DON'T THINK ANYBODY ON EARTH..."
"NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE FOUND."
LOUIS ARMSTRONG.
GOD DOES.
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE TENDERNESS OF A COMPLEX
HE'S COMPLEX THAT HE IS
GOD, AND HE'S NOT COMPLEX WHERE HE'S DIFFICULT,
POWERFUL AND MIGHTY.
SO KNOWLEDGEABLE,
THE BIBLE SAYS HE LOOKS, AND
THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, HIS EYES ARE ON A
SPARROW, A BIRD.
AND HE KNOWS WHEN ONE OF THOSE BIRDS FALL TO
BUT HE SAID, OH, HOW MUCH MORE ARE YOU
THE GROUND, IT SAYS.
IMPORTANT TO THE FATHER?
YOU'RE HIS CHILD.
YOU'RE HIS.
YOU'RE THE OFFSPRING OF GOD HIMSELF.
YOU ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN
AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS
AND I FEEL VERY STRONG, THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "THERE
CREATED IN THIS EARTH.
IS A FRIEND THAT STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER."
AND THAT'S TALKING ABOUT JESUS.
AND SOME OF YOU ARE IN THIS ROOM TODAY AND SOME
SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED JUST ENCOURAGEMENT NOT
OF YOU YOU'RE WATCHING AND YOU'RE REALLY GOING THROUGH
THE STRENGTH OF SOMEBODY ELSE.
ONLY OF GOD BUT MAYBE YOU JUST NEED THE SUPPORT AND
YOU KNOW MY WIFE I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S A
RULE BUT ONE THING WE TRY TO DO AND I HOPE YOU JUST HEAR
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TOUCH THAT BRINGS NOT
ME. WE TRY TO GIVE EACH OTHER A KISS EVERY DAY BECAUSE
ONLY ASSURANCE BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED IT BECAUSE THE
RIGHT? AND SOMETIMES YOU
WORLD IS A, NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY CAT WORLD, IT'S A
DOGGY DOG WORLD.
JUST NEED TO KNOW.
SO IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY AND YOU'RE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING,
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO TELL US OR ANYBODY ELSE AROUND YOU
WHAT THAT IS AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU DON'T
EVEN HAVE TO PUT IT IN THE COMMENT.
BUT YOU CAN JUST, WHERE THEY HAVE THE LITTLE
PUT YOUR HAND UP AND JUST KIND OF WAVE IT OR SOMETHING
AND WE'RE GOING TO AGREE WITH SO WHO IS HERE RIGHT
MOJOS OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT, YOU CAN JUST
JUST RAISE YOUR HAND.
YOU NEED SOMEBODY TO JUST AGREE WITH YOU IN PRAYER.
WE'RE GONNA AGREE WITH YOU, OKAY?
NOW THAT YOU HAVE, YOU NEED SOMETHING,
KEEP YOUR HAND UP FOR JUST A MOMENT.
I WANT THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU TO COME AND JUST,
ALL THEY'RE GONNA DO IS MAYBE THEY'RE GONNA TOUCH YOUR BACK.
RIGHT, MAYBE IF YOU KNOW SOMEBODY,
YOU CAN JUST HOLD THEIR HAND IF YOU KNOW 'EM.
THIS ISN'T YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO GET THAT GUY'S NUMBER,
BUT THIS IS A TIME FOR YOU TO BE THAT FRIEND,
YOU KNOW, AND HOLD HIS HAND RIGHT.
SO, I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU.
THAT EXPRESSION OF GOD HIMSELF, JESUS,
TO SOMEBODY ELSE WHO NEEDS A TOUCH.
I JUST FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO PRAY TODAY
AND I'M GONNA HAVE YOU, PASTOR BRENDA,
FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OUT HERE.
FOR WHATEVER THE NEED IS THAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
MAYBE YOU'VE GOT PAIN IN YOUR BODY,
MAYBE YOU JUST GOT A SITUATION WHERE YOU NEED GOD.
MAYBE YOU'VE GOT PAIN IN YOUR HEART.
IS THERE SOMEBODY BEHIND YOU, SIR?
AND IF SOMEBODY'S HANDS UP, LIKE RIGHT THERE,
YOU DON'T GET TIRED, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
THANK YOU FOR RIGHT THERE.
YEAH, I CAN SEE YOU.
GONNA NEED PRAYER FOR IS THE STRENGTH BACK
ALL RIGHT, PASTOR BRENDA, I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO PRAY
YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND ON THAT WAY.
IN YOUR ARM, RIGHT?
FATHER, WE JUST THANK YOU RIGHT NOW

WE'RE ASKING YOU, LORD, TO DELIVER.
WE'RE ASKING YOU, LORD, TO SHIFT CIRCUMSTANCES.
WE'RE ASKING YOU, LORD, TO SAVE.
AS IT WAS WITH THE APOSTLE PAUL WHEN HE CRIED OUT BECAUSE
WE'RE ASKING YOU BY YOUR MIRACULOUS DIVINE POWER, EVEN
OF THE THORN IN HIS FLESH.
FATHER, YOU CAME AND SAID, "MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU.
MY STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR WEAKNESS.
FATHER, WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR A SUPERNATURAL GRACE TODAY.
EVEN AS THE EARLY CHURCH PRAYED FOR YOUR GRACE AND MORE GRACE,
WE'RE ASKING YOU, LORD, THAT YOU WOULD BRING FORTH YOUR STRENGTH
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEAKNESS OF YOUR PEOPLE.
AND WE ASK YOU, FATHER, BY YOUR MIRACULOUS,
DIVINE, DUNAMIS POWER, THAT YOU WOULD TURN
AND SHIFT AND CHANGE.
WE ASK THAT EVERY HEART AND MIND WOULD BE OPEN TO YOUR WORD.
THAT THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH WOULD SHINE UNDER THE MINDS
EVEN AS YOUR GLORIOUS LIGHT, IT WAS SHOWN UNTO THE DISCIPLES
AND THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE.
AND THEY KNEW HIM.
LORD, WE ASK YOU TO INTERVENE TODAY IN A SUPERNATURAL WAY.
ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS.

GET OFF OUR LOVED ONES.
GET OFF OUR CHILDREN.
WE BREAK YOUR POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
WE BIND YOU FROM OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.
AND NOW LORD, WE RECEIVE YOUR GRACE.
I WANT YOU TO SAY THAT.

US, LORD, TO OVERCOME IN JESUS' NAME."

LET'S PUT UP OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE I ACTUALLY HAVE TWO
CHURCH SHOULD BE. ALRIGHT WELL YOU READY FOR OFFERING TIME?
TODAY. LET'S SEE HOW FAR WE GET BECUASE I WANT TO GIVE
GOING TO START WITH VERSE 17. NOW LET ME SET THIS UP FOR A
PASTOR LOT'S OF TIME TO PREACH. THIS IS DEUTERONOMY AND WE ARE
MINUTE. AND BY THE WAY I ALWAYS LOVED DOING THESE OFFERING
TEACHINGS BECUASE I FEEL LIKE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE
TRUE? EVERYBODY HAS DEALT WITH AT SOMEPOINT
GET ATTACKED MOST IS THERE FINANCES. HOW MANY THINK THAT'S
AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT, WHEN WE GIVE,
TO KNOW WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT OUR MONEY.
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY.
DO YOU KNOW THE SCRIPTURE TALKS ALL--
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
COME ON, ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, THE TOPIC OF MONEY IS INVOLVED.
AMEN. IT WAS ONE OF JESUS'
TOP TEACHINGS.
YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THIS BEFORE.
THE SCRIPTURE WE QUOTE SO MUCH, "SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS," AND ALL THESE THINGS, OKAY?
THE WHOLE TOPIC IN THAT CHAPTER OF MATTHEW 6 WAS THE TOPIC
OF MATERIAL POSSESSIONS AND FINANCES.
AND SO WHEN WE SAY, "SEEK YE FIRST," JESUS WAS TALKING
ABOUT, "SEEK FIRST GOD WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MONETARY THINGS,
WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MONEY."
SO THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC.
YOU KNOW, DON'T TALK ABOUT MONEY.
SO DON'T EVER LET A CHURCH OR ANYONE TELL YOU,
PEOPLE GET FUNNY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT MONEY.
WE'VE GOT TO BREAK THAT.
WE NEED GOD'S PERSPECTIVE ON FINANCES.
THERE'S AN OLD PREACHER-- A PREACHER ONCE SAID,
BUT WE'VE GOT TO BREAK THAT.
IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
SO WE DON'T JUST GIVE, BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN
IS IF WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, EITHER THE DEVIL WILL TALK YOU
OUT OF GIVING, RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU'LL GO, WELL,
I GOT ALL THESE BILLS AND I CAN'T GIVE RIGHT NOW.
HE WANTS TO KEEP US FROM BEING GIVERS AND TITHERS.
THE WORD, BECAUSE THE WORD BUILDS FAITH.
AND THAT'S THE DEVIL'S PLAN.
AND THE OTHER THING IS WE GET DISCOURAGED IF WE DON'T HEAR
SO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 8, THIS WAS A CHAPTER WHERE GOD
REMINDED ISRAEL, HE SAID, AND IT KIND OF LAYS A LITTLE
BIT OUT THE CHALLENGES OF HUMAN SUFFERING,
THE CHALLENGES OF HUMAN DIFFICULTY. THE THINGS THAT WE
GO THROUGH AS PEOPLE, WHEN WE GO THROUGH HARDSHIP AND GOD SAID IN
VERSE 2. THEY DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT UP, BUT I WILL QUOTE IT
GOD SAID, "I LED YOU INTO THE WILDERNESS TO TEST YOU," WATCH
THIS, "TO TRY YOU AND SEE WHAT WAS IN YOUR HEART."
NOW, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T GOD'S FAULT THAT THEY STAYED IN
GOD WANTED TO SEE.
THE WILDERNESS ALL THOSE 40 YEARS
SCHOLARS SAY IT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THEM ABOUT A WEEK
TO GET OVER THERE.
BUT THEY CHOSE TO GO AROUND AND AROUND
COME ON, THEIR WRONG SPEAKING.
BECAUSE OF THEIR COMPLAINING.
THEY COULDN'T TRUST.
THEY GOT THEIR EYES ON THEMSELVES.
BUT HERE'S THE THING THAT THE CHAPTER GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT,
RIGHT? HE WASN'T ABUSING THEM, BUT
THAT GOD LET THEM GET JUST HUNGRY ENOUGH.
HE HELD BACK JUST ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO.
COME ON, DON'T THINK THAT GOD DOESN'T DO THAT.
AND THE SCRIPTURE GOES ON TO LAY OUT THE FACT THAT GOD SAID,
HE WANTS TO SEE WHAT'S IN OUR HEART.
I FED YOU.
I ALLOWED YOU TO BE JUST A LITTLE BIT HUNGRY
AND HE GOES, AND THEN I FED YOU WITH MANNA.
COME ON, IT'S IN THE WHOLE CHAPTER.
TO SEE IF YOU'D TRUST ME.
THAT'S YOUR WORK WHEN YOU GET HOME.
YOU GO BACK AND READ IT.
THAT'S YOUR READING FOR TODAY.
AND SO GOD SAID, "I ALLOW JUST A LITTLE BIT
"THAT IT'S GOD THAT IS ALWAYS INVOLVED,
"BECAUSE I NEVER WANT YOU TO FORGET
"NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO AND WHAT YOU FACE."
AND HE SAID, "AND YOU'LL SAY, "OR IN CASE YOU MIGHT
SO HE GETS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO VERSE 17,
SAY IN YOUR HEART," OKAY, GOD SAID,
IN CASE YOU SAY IN YOUR HEART, "MY POWER AND MY MIGHT,
TO BE YOUR PROVERB.
"I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT'S NOT GOING
THE WORK OF MY HAND HAS GOTTEN ME THIS WEALTH."
YOU KNOW, THERE'S -- AND THIS CHAPTER LAYS OUT THE FACT THAT
WHEN THINGS ARE GOING GOOD WITH PEOPLE,
THEY TEND TO FORGET GOD AND WALK AWAY.
AND THEN WHEN THINGS GO -- TURN INTO UPHEAVAL AND ALL GETS
FOR THEIR OWN FORGETTING OF GOD, THEN THEY CALL BACK OUT TO HIM.
UPSIDE DOWN, A LOT OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN CHOICES OR
AND GOD SAID, "I WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL.
WASN'T THAT THE STORY OF ISRAEL ALL THROUGH THEIR HISTORY?
YOU DON'T EVER LOOK AT YOUR OWN ABILITY, AND YOU THINK THAT
IT'S YOU THAT MADE IT HAPPEN."
COME ON, WE ALL GOT TO REFLECT ON THAT.
THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.
AND THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY IN VERSE 18, "FOR
YOU SHALL REMEMBER."
NOW THIS IS WHY GOD EVEN HAD ISRAEL GIVE THEIR OFFERINGS AT
THE FEAST TIMES.
YOU SHALL REMEMBER THE LORD YOUR GOD FOR IT IS HE THAT GIVES YOU
IT'S TO, SOMEBODY SAY IT, REMEMBER.
THE POWER TO GET WEALTH.
TO REMEMBER.
AND YOUR OFFERINGS IS A REMEMBERING OF GOD ALLOWING YOU
YOU KNOW YOUR GIVING, YOUR TITHING,
TO PROSPER.
DO YOU KNOW THAT?
TIME CHECK OR YOU GET OUT THE APP AND YOU DO YOUR GIVING AND
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW, WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AND YOU WRITE OUT YOUR
YOU GIVE TO GOD, IT'S A STATEMENT OF REMEMBERING THAT
YOU AND I, WE ARE DEPENDENT FULLY ON GOD TO PROSPER US,
COME ON, TO HELP US, TO PROVIDE FOR US, COME ON, WE CAN BE THE
WE CAN BE THE BEST, GIVE GOD A HAND FOR THAT.
WE CAN BE THE BEST BUSINESS MIND IN THE WORLD.
AND READ THE LAST VERSE.
I WAS WITH, I'LL SAY A COUPLE LAST THINGS
THIS WAS MANY YEARS AGO WHEN PASTOR AND I FIRST STARTED
IN ROYALTY HOUSE PUBLISHING.
I WAS, WE WERE WITH A PUBLISHER.
THIS WAS BEFORE WE GOT INTO, WE KIND OF DO BOTH.
WE DO SOME ROYALTY PUBLISHING AND WE DO SOME,
YOU KNOW, IN-HOUSE SELF-PUBLISHING.
AND WE WERE SITTING WITH THIS PUBLISHER, PART
AND SO I ASKED THE MAN A QUESTION.
OF A PRETTY BIG PUBLISHING HOUSE.
YOU ALWAYS WANT TO LEARN THINGS.
IT WAS A DISMAL FAILURE.
AND I SAID, SO-- I THINK I HAD ALREADY PUBLISHED
ONE BOOK AT THAT TIME.
IT REALLY WAS.
AND IT'S STILL IN PRINT.
THERE'S SOME GOOD STUFF IN THERE.
I WISH IT WASN'T, BUT ANYWAY, WHATEVER.
NO, IT'S GOOD.
BUT THE POINT IS, AS I SAID, WHAT MAKES
I SAID, "WHAT MAKES A BOOK BECOME A BESTSELLER?"
BUSINESS PEOPLE, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAKES A GOOD PRODUCT.
COME ON, ISN'T THAT THE QUESTION OF EVERY PERSON?
COME ON, THAT'S THE QUESTION OF EVERY PERSON.
WHAT'S GOING TO GET THAT PRODUCT TO SELL?
SO I SAID, "WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES A BOOK
WHAT MAKES SUCCESS?
BECOME A BESTSELLER?"
BECAUSE I WANTED ONE.
AND HE SAID, "HA, HA, HA."
HE GOES, "IF I KNEW, AND WE PUBLISHERS KNEW, EVERYONE
BUT WE FOUND OUT ONLY GOD CAN DECIDE IT.
WE'RE AT DINNER.
WOULD BE A BESTSELLER.
WOULDN'T THAT BE GOOD IF WE WOULD JUST ALL REMEMBER THAT
AND WE ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON HIM."
WE HAVE TO ONLY BE DEPENDENT ON GOD?
AND YOU KNOW I REALIZED, AND THEN WHEN I WANTED BOOKS
THAT WERE BEST SELLERS, WHEN I QUIT CARING,
AND I WAS LIKE, "WELL GOD, IT'S IN YOUR HANDS,"
THEN DAILY DECREE TOOK OFF LIKE FIRE.
I WASN'T EVEN SURE I WANTED TO WRITE IT.
YOU KNOW, AND AT THAT POINT I WAS LIKE,
HE IS THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU THE POWER.
SO YOU THINK ABOUT, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF GOD.
ISAIAH 48, 17, WE'LL CLOSE WITH THIS.
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
"AND THUS SAYS THE LORD, YOUR REDEEMER,
I AM THE LORD THY GOD, WHICH TEACHES YOU HOW TO PROFIT.
NOTHING ELSE.
THAT WORD PROFIT MEANS TO PROSPER AND GAIN WEALTH.
DON'T THINK THAT GOD DOESN'T EVER WANT YOU TO PROSPER.
WELL, I WOULD SAY THEY'RE PROBABLY AGAINST IT
EVERYBODY THAT'S AGAINST PROSPERITY, YOU KNOW,
'CAUSE MAYBE PEOPLE PREACHED IT WRONG OR POORLY,
BUT THERE'S THE TRUTH IN THE BIBLE.
OUT WITH THE BATHWATER."
THERE'S AN OLD SAYING THAT SAYS, "DON'T THROW THE BABY
THERE IS THE RIGHT PROSPERITY IN THE SCRIPTURE.
HE TEACHES YOU HOW TO PROSPER.
IF GOD WANTS US ALL TO BE POOR AND DESTITUTE AND WITHOUT
BECAUSE THAT EQUATES TO HUMILITY,
THEN GOD WOULDN'T PUT THOSE SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE.
WATCH, IT GIVES YOU THE ANSWER TO PROSPER
NO, WHAT GOD WANTS IS FOR US TO PROSPER.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN YOU PROSPER, YOU'LL BE LED OF GOD.
AND I'LL LEAD YOU BY THE WAY THAT YOU SHOULD GO.
"I WANT TO GIVE YOU WEALTH SO THAT MY COVENANT,"
IN THE OTHER VERSE IT SAYS, GOD SAYS,
COME ON, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL
WE NEED PEOPLE THAT HAVE RESOURCES IN THEIR HAND
AROUND THE WORLD WITH A BUNCH OF POOR AND NEEDY FOLKS.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
THAT CAN TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD.
PASTOR HAD THE WORD, AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE GIVING
YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
PASTOR HAD A WORD 15 OR BETTER YEARS AGO.
INFORMATION UP IN JUST A SECOND.
HE SAID, "I FEEL FROM THE SPIRIT THAT THE NEXT WAVE OF MISSIONS
NOW THIS WAS BEFORE ANYBODY KNEW THERE
ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH A CAMERA."
WAS GOING TO BE A PANDEMIC.
I MEAN, CHURCHES SUDDENLY HAD TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH A CAMERA.
WHEN THEY REALIZED THAT THEY'RE GOING
AND THAT WORD BECAME SO RIGHT.
AND SO WE OBEYED IT.
AND WE STARTED GETTING OUR TV BEHIND IN GEAR,
AND YOU KNOW, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM THE NATIONS
GETTING OUR ACT TOGETHER.
ARE GETTING THEIR LIVES CHANGED BECAUSE THERE WERE
THAT COULD TAKE THE GOSPEL-- COME ON, SOMEBODY--

BUT ANYWAY, GETTING TO THIS, OUR KIDS

AND WE'RE EXCITED.
BUT YET, YOU CALL THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
YOU CAN'T REACH HIM.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE SWAT TEAM TO CHECK ON HIM
YOU KNOW, RIGHT?
POLICE OFFICERS, HOW YOU GOT TO--
AND ALL THAT STUFF.
OK, NEVER MIND.
ANYWAY, WELL, I'M EXCITED TO PREACH TO YOU.
AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE MY UNCLE HERE TODAY.
SO LET'S GET INTO THIS.
EXODUS CHAPTER 8.
I'M JUST SO HONORED YOU'RE HERE.
YOU KNOW, WE LOOK ALIKE.
YOU ARE A REALLY HANDSOME GUY.
I LOVE MY MAMA.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE HIM HERE.
I SURE LOVE HIM.
NO, I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIVING IN THE PLACE
ALL RIGHT, EXODUS 8.
OF THE SECRET PLACE, RIGHT?
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT PLACE THAT GOD,
AND WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THAT IN A MOMENT
"HEY MAN, THERE'S A PLACE BY ME."
WHERE HE WAS TALKING TO MOSES AND HE SAID,
WELL, WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?
WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THAT.
WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS THAT NOW WE HAVE AN INHERITANCE,
WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS PLACE OF NO.
WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS PLACE WHERE GOD HAS PUT US
AND BY THE WAY, YOU WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT ISAAC AND
I WERE TALKING, HE'S PREACHED ALONG THE SAME THING OF WHAT GOD
IS SAYING BECAUSE I REALLY BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THE LORD
IS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE SO I WANT TO LOOK AT EXODUS CHAPTER 8
AND THIS IS KINDA WHERE WE'VE STARTED. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
I FIGURED STAR WARS DID I MIGHT AS WELL, RIGHT?
GOD OF DIFFERENCE AND I'M ACTUALLY STARTING A TRILOGY,
I HAVE A TRILOGY THAT WE ARE WORKING ON VERY DILIGENT
FOR THE SEPTEMBER CONFERENCE.
THE LORD OF THE FIGHT SHOULD BE OUT
AND THEN THERE'S THE NEXT BOOK IS CALLED THE LORD
OF THE COUNTER.
REMEMBER WHEN I PREACHED THAT, HOW GOD COUNTERS?
AND THEN THIS ONE IS GONNA BE CALLED
AND THEY'RE ALL GONNA BE A PART OF THE BOOK.
THE LORD OF THE DIFFERENCE.
WE'RE WRITING THINGS NOW.
SO, ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT EXODUS 8.
AND WE SHOULD BE GETTING THEM, WE'RE PUTTING IT TOGETHER,
THIS IS REALLY POWERFUL.
ALL RIGHT, IT SAYS IN VERSE 21, GOD IS TALKING THROUGH
MOSES AND HE SAYS, ALL RIGHT, PHARAOH, IF YOU
WILL NOT LET MY PEOPLE GO, I WILL SEND SWARMS OF FLIES.
HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD SWARMS OF FLIES
AROUND YOUR PICNIC, YOUR MEMORIAL DAY?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PEOPLE WITH SWARMS OF FLIES AROUND THEM?
REMEMBER LIKE PIGPEN?
YOU GUYS ARE SO TIRED ACTING, I'M TRYING TO MAKE A STUPID JOKE
AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING, "WHOA!"
I MEAN.
OR ANYTHING.
SORRY FOR THEM SLEEPING ON A RAINY DAY.
UNCLE DELBERT, THESE PEOPLE NORMALLY
I WILL SEND SWARM OF FLIES INTO YOUR HOUSES
ARE MORE FIRED UP THAN THIS.
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
AND THE HOUSES OF THE EGYPTIANS SHALL
SO NOT ONLY WERE THEY JUST AROUND
BE FULL OF SWARMS OF FLIES "AND ALSO THE GROUND."
TALKING ABOUT WALKING ON FLIES.
AND THEY WERE ON THE GROUND, MAN,
AND IN THAT DAY, I WILL SET MY PEOPLE APART.
NOW WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO HAVE THIS PLACE OF SEPARATION?
BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE DEFINITION OF HOLINESS IS?
SOME PEOPLE THINK IT'S MAKEUP, HAIRDO.
HOLINESS MEANS TO BE SET APART.
IF YOU REALLY ARE GOING TO WALK IN HOLINESS.
IT MEANS WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING, YOU CAN'T,
I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING.
YOU HAVE TO DECIDE IF YOU'RE GONNA BE HOLY,
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CULTURE SAYS.
BECAUSE GOD DID THAT WITH ISRAEL.
THEY'RE GONNA BE SET IN A PLACE THAT IS SPECIFIC
HE SAID, "MY PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE IN A PLACE
"THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY SWARMS OF FLIES.
TO MY HAND OF BLESSING.
I'M GONNA SET THEM IN A PLACE.
SAY, SET THEM IN A PLACE.
SO HE SET THEM IN A PLACE, AND THAT NAME, BY
THE WAY, WAS GOSHEN.
AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,
NOW WE'RE GONNA LOOK IN JUST A MOMENT,
WHERE GOD AND MOSES WERE HAVING A CONVERSATION,
I'M GONNA SET YOU IN A PLACE.
AND GOD SAYS TO MOSES, "MOSES, LISTEN TO ME.
AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE IN A CLEFT OF A ROCK.
WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THAT IN A MOMENT.
NOW THE WORD CLEFT MEANS BETWEEN TWO PIECES.
IN OTHER WORDS, ROCK ON ONE SIDE, ROCK ON THE OTHER SIDE,
AND BOOM, HERE YOU ARE, MOSES.
NOW, FAST FORWARD INTO THE NEW TESTAMENT.
GOD ESTABLISHES WITH THE ROCK JESUS CHRIST.
IS THAT A COINCIDENCE?
HE PUTS JESUS ON THE CROSS BETWEEN TWO THIEVES.
NO, BECAUSE IT WAS TO ESTABLISH A PLACE NOW
AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
THAT THE FATHER IS IN HEAVEN.
JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED, RESURRECTED, HE ASCENDED.
AND WHEN HE ASCENDED, THE BIBLE SAYS, THERE WAS A NOISE.
WALKING TOWARDS THEM INTO THE MOST HOLY
THE ANGELS BEGAN TO LOOK BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS
PLACE OF ALL EXISTENCE, TO WHERE THE ANGELS THEMSELVES
SURROUND GOD AND THEY HAVE NEVER STOPPED SAYING, "HOLY,
AND HERE COMES THIS SOUND AND GUESS WHO IT IS?
HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD."
IT'S THE WALK OF JESUS HIMSELF.
HIS ROBE IS MAKING A SOUND AS HE'S WALKING.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT WAS BETWEEN TWO THIEVES,
AND THE ANGELS ARE LOOKING AND GOING,
LIKE MOSES IN THE ROCK.
THIS IS THE SAME AS WHEN ABRAHAM WAS BETWEEN THE TWO HALVES.
THIS IS THE SAME AS WHEN THE RED SEA WAS PARTED.
NOW JESUS IS WALKING, FULFILLING ALL OF THAT.
AND HE'S CARRYING HIS OWN BLOOD.
AND HE PUTS IT ON THE MERCY SEAT
SO THAT WE HAVE MERCY, GRACE, AND HELP.
AND THE FATHER LOOKS AT HIM AND SAYS, "YOU ARE MY SON.
THIS DAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN THEE.
YOU LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT YOU HATE EVIL.
HANDS HIM THE SCEPTER FOR A KING.
AND THEN HE SAYS, JUST LIKE THAT GOSHEN, GOD SET THEM APART.
ALL OF THAT WITH GOSHEN, THE RED SEA CROSSING,
GOD ESTABLISHED THE PLACE, THE FATHER SAYS,
YOU BETWEEN THE TWO THIEVES IS SO THAT NOW YOU CAN COME
AND SIT AT A PLACE THAT'S BEEN PREPARED.
BUT YOU COULDN'T UNLESS YOU SHED YOUR INNOCENT BLOOD.
AND THE FATHER LOOKS AT HIM AND SAYS,
"SIT THOU AT MY RIGHT HAND."
JESUS, AFTER HE PUTS HIS BLOOD ON THE MERCY SEAT,
HE GRABS THE KING'S SCEPTER.
HE SITS DOWN AT THAT PLACE BY THE FATHER.
IT'S GOD.
NOW, GUESS WHAT HAPPENS?
JESUS NOW, NEXT TO THE FATHER, OPENS UP HIS HANDS
AND HE SAYS, "WHOEVER CALLS UPON ME SHALL BE SAVED."
ROMANS 10.
WHAT IS THAT WORD SAVED?
THE FREE GIFT OF GOD, ROMANS 6, IS ETERNAL LIFE.
SOZO, THE GOD KIND OF LIFE.
THEY GET A PACKAGE.
SO NOW IN JESUS, HE EXTENDS HIS HANDS TO ANYONE,
THAT'S YOU THAT ARE OUT THERE, WHO WILL SAY, "JESUS,
COME INTO MY HEART.
SOON AS YOU SAY THAT, YOU'RE HANDED A PACKAGE.
"FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS."
YOU'RE GRABBED BY THE HAND, AND YOU ARE SEATED RIGHT THERE
ON HIS LAP WITH HIM.
AND EVERYTHING JESUS PAID FOR-- IT'S NOT YOUR IDEA, IT WAS HIS--
IS NOW CALLED YOUR INHERITANCE.
IT'S HEALTH, HEALING, WHOLENESS, SOUNDNESS OF MIND,
A BLESSED MEMORY, LONG LIFE, PROSPERITY, BLESSING,
A MANSION IN HEAVEN, FORGIVENESS OF SIN,
AND LIVING WITH YOUR GOD FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.
THAT'S THAT PLACE THAT THE FATHER KEPT SAYING,
THERE'S A PLACE BY ME, MOSES.
AND JESUS CAME AND SAT DOWN.
AND WHEN YOU CALL UPON HIS NAME AND YOU GET SAVED,
SO LET'S GO BACK.
YOU SIT THERE WITH HIM.
LOOK AT THIS GOSHEN, THIS GOSHEN IS THAT PLACE
NOW NOTICE THE WORD NO.
I JUST DESCRIBED, IN WHICH MY PEOPLE SHALL DWELL.
NO SWARMS OF FLIES WILL BE THERE.
IT'S A NO FLY ZONE.
NO DEVIL, NO SICKNESS, NO DISEASE, NO PREMATURE DEATH.
YOU CANNOT TOUCH ME, I AM IN CHRIST.
THERE IS A NO FLY ZONE, A NO GO ZONE AROUND ME.
GOD'S THE ONE THAT ESTABLISHED IT.
KEEP READING.
EXODUS 8, IT SAYS, "NO FLIES WILL BE THERE."
WHY? "SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW
THAT I AM THE LORD IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND."
AND NOTICE GOD SAYS, "I WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE."
LOOK AT JOHN CHAPTER 10, VERSE 10.
FOR JESUS IS NOW GIVING A NEW TESTAMENT EXAMPLE,
SO TO SPEAK, ON WHY HE'S COMING.
THIS WAS BEFORE THE CROSS.
HE'S TRYING TO TELL US EXODUS 8.
HEY, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE NO FLIES
IN GOSHEN WHERE MY PEOPLE DWELT?
BUT THE DEVIL CAME IN TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY,
AND THERE WERE SWARMS OF FLIES IN EGYPT.
SO HE SAYS, "THE DEVIL," THAT'S THE THIEF,
"HE COMES," LIKE THE LORD OF THE FLIES,
WHICH ARE THE FLIES, "HAVE COME TO STEAL FROM YOU."
THAT'S WHAT HE'S CALLED, "AND ALL OF HIS DEMONS,"
THEY'VE COME TO TRY TO KILL YOU AND DESTROY YOUR
WHATEVER THEY CAN.
MARRIAGE, YOUR LIFE, YOUR MONEY, YOUR HEALTH,
BUT THEN, PAUSE.
NOTICE JESUS IS TRYING TO ESTABLISH THIS.
I WANNA SHOW YOU, WHAT DID I SHOW YOU IN EXODUS 8?
I WILL PUT A DIFFERENCE.
HE'S SAYING, "WHEN I GO TO THAT CROSS,
"I'M GONNA ESTABLISH A PLACE.
"I'M GONNA GO TO THAT PLACE THAT THE FATHER HAS PREPARED.
"AND EVERYTHING THAT I PAY FOR, "WITH AND THROUGH MY INNOCENT
"I'M GONNA SIT AT HIS RIGHT HAND,
"AND YOU'RE GONNA SIT THERE WITH ME AS A JOINT HEIR,
YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT.
BLOOD, IS FREELY YOURS."
"THE REASON I'M ABOUT TO LAY MY LIFE DOWN ON A CROSS
THAT'S THE GOD KIND OF LIFE.
NOW, HE SAYS, "BUT I'VE COME, THE WHOLE PURPOSE.
WELL, SO DOES EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET.
"IS SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE."
IT'S NOT JUST, "OH YEAH, YOU KNOW, I CAN BREATHE."
SO DO BUGS.
BUT HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.
THEY BREATHE, THEY'VE GOT LIFE.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS PLACE THAT HE'S GOING TO BE SEATED
BY THE RIGHT HAND OF HIS FATHER, THAT IF YOU ACCEPT JESUS
AND BELIEVE IT AND SIT DOWN WITH HIM, IT'S YOURS.
AND NOTICE IT'S THE LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.
A LIFE OF HEALING, A LIFE OF HEALTH, A LIFE OF BLESSING,
A BLESSED MARRIAGE, BLESSED FINANCES, BLESSED BODY,
BLESSED MIND, BLESSED JOB, BLESSED HOME, BLESSED CHILDREN,
BLESSED PETS, EXCEPT CATS.
BLESSED CARS, AND YOU FARMERS, BLESSED TRACTORS,
NO, NO, I'M MESSING WITH YOU.
LISTEN. CATS ARE SO EVIL.
OKAY, LISTEN, LISTEN.
LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN.
I DO.
ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW I LOVE CATS.
THE LION KIND.
THEY'LL JUST LOOK AT YOU.
NOT LION CATS, 'CAUSE IF YOU ASK,
A LION, LION, LIKE A LION!
"DID YOU KNOCK THAT OVER?"
NOT THAT KIND OF LION.
I'M TALKING ABOUT A LION LIKE, "RAWR!"
THEY DO IN YOUR HOUSE.
NOT CATS THAT CAN NEVER ADMIT ALL THE STUFF THAT
YOU KNOW, THOSE KIND OF CATS, RIGHT?
"YEAH, WE KNOW ABOUT THOSE CATS, RIGHT?"
BUT ALL OF US DOG LOVERS AND NON-DOG LOVERS ARE GOING,
ALL YOU CAT LOVERS DON'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT,
YOU KNOW, I'M ONLY PICKING ON YOU, RIGHT?
AND IF I DON'T STOP, IT'S GOING TO BE A CAT-ASTROPHE.
OH, STOP.
OH, NO, LET'S JUST GO ON.
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
UNCLE, I TOLD YOU, THE SASS IS STARTING TO COME OUT.
BLESS YOU WITH. NOW NOTICE IN EXODUS 8 THERE WERE SWARMS OF
SO JESUS SAYS, "THIS IS THE KIND OF LIFE I WANT TO
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
FLIES BUT NOT WHERE GOD HAD SET THIS UNIQUE PLACE CALLED GOSHEN
GOD HAS DONE THE SAME THING I REMEMBER YEARS AGO MAN I CAN
THINK OF A COUPLE OF STORYS. JOHN YOU WOULD REMEMBER
MONA, WERE YOU PART-- NO, YOU WEREN'T THERE,
THIS I WAS A YOUTH PASTOR YEARS AGO I WAS LIKE 25 AND
BECAUSE IT WAS THE MEN'S-- THE GUYS THAT WERE THERE.
A LOCK-IN?
WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT THING?
BECAUSE WE HAD A-- REMEMBER, BRENDA, YOU HAD A--
SO SHE HAD THE GIRLS GO TO OUR HOUSE, AND I TOOK THE GUYS.
AND WE STAYED AT THE CHURCH.
AND WE GRUNTED AND DID ALL THE THINGS THAT GUYS--
SO WE DECIDED TO PLAY THIS GAME CALLED CAPTURE THE FLAG.
LET ME HEAR THE MEN GRUNT.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW TO PLAY IT NOW,
BUT ANYWAY, WE'RE OUT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD,
AND IT WAS REALLY DARK, AND I COULD FEEL
BUT I DID BACK IN THOSE DAYS.
SOMETHING IN MY GUT.
OH, HE WAS A POLICE OFFICER FOR OMAHA,
AND I LOOKED AT ONE OF THE LEADERS,
HE WAS AN OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICER.
I SAID TO HIM, I SAID, "MIKE, SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT."
BUT HE WAS OFF-DUTY HELPING ME WITH THE YOUTH GROUP.
I DON'T HAVE MY GUN.
HE'S LIKE, "WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?
HE GOES, "WHY, WHY, WHY?"
I SAID, "SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT."
HE GOES, "HOW DO YOU KNOW?"
I SAID, "I DON'T KNOW, SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT."
I SAID, "IN MY GUT, SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT."
HE GOES, "WHY?"
"GET THE KIDS NOW, GET 'EM UP TO THE CHURCH BUILDING."
I SAID, "I MEAN, A COP TELLING ME WHY?
"I MEAN, YOU WOULD THINK SECURITY
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
"WOULD'VE STEPPED IN THERE, RIGHT?"
SO HE STARTS ROUNDING UP THE KIDS
HE GOES, "OKAY, OKAY, ALL RIGHT."
LIKE, WHY, WE'RE ALMOST WINNING.
I SAID, GET IN THERE NOW.
AND THE OTHER LEADERS STARTED ROUNDING UP THE KIDS.
WELL, THEY START RUNNING TO GO INTO THE CHURCH BUILDING
I'M DOWN STILL ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY'RE ON TOP OF THE HILL.
I HEAR THIS LOUD MUSIC.
AND IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE SOME OF YOU BASS GRANNIES,
REALLY LOUD IN YOUR CARS, RIGHT?
YOU GRANDMAS THAT LIKE TO HAVE THE STEREO
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BY A CAR LIKE THAT?
OH, YOU GRANNIES.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, HOW?
ACTUALLY, WE'RE TALKING TO YOU MILLENNIALS.
I WANNA MEET YOU AT 35.
'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY EARS.
NOBODY'S GONNA BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU.
SO ANYWAY, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BLOWING YOUR EARS OUT, RIGHT?
CAN WE JUST PLAY THAT THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE?
NEXT TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
AND ALL THESE CARS START COMING INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL
AND I'M LIKE, UH, OH.
AND I'M OUT THERE BY MYSELF.
THEY GET OUT OF THEIR CARS AND START RUNNING UP THE HILL
TO WHERE I WAS NOW STARTING TO GO
TOWARDS THE CHURCH BUILDING.
THEY HAD WEAPONS IN THEIR HANDS LIKE CLUBS AND CHAINS.
AND I'M LIKE, THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A PARTY.
AND I WENT RUNNING.
AND I GOT UP TO THE FRONT.
I THOUGHT I COULD OUTRUN THEM.
YOU TALK ABOUT A SWARM OF FLIES.
I'M LIKE, WHERE'S A GOOD COP WHEN YOU NEED 'EM?
THEY BEAT ME UP THERE AND THEY STARTED FORMING A CIRCLE.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
I MEAN, YOU CALL THE COPS, THEY TAKE FOREVER TO GET THERE.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE SAID?
AND YET I HAD A COP ON HAND, RIGHT?
AMEN, AMEN.
THEY'RE SURROUNDING ME.
YOU KNOW I ARE OFFICER OVER THERE, YOU KNOW.
PASTOR, WHAT'D YOU DO?
YOU TALK ABOUT MY HEART GOING BOOP, BOOP, BOOP, BOOP, BOOP.
WELL, YOU THINK I DID, HUH?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
NO, THERE WAS NO ROCKY BALBOA.
NO, NO.
THERE WAS NO "EYE OF THE TIGER."
IT WAS MORE DON KNOTTS.
LISTEN, YOU BETTER NOT MESS WITH ME.
THEY WERE SURROUNDING ME IN A CIRCLE.
JOHN, YOU REMEMBER THIS?
THIS IS CRAZY, MAN.
AND THIS ONE GUY COMES OUT AND HE HAD THIS LONG TRENCH COAT ON.
HE COMES OUT AND HE PULLS THIS THING OUT OF HIS--
THIS GUY HAD THIS LONG TRENCH COAT ON.
AND HE SAYS SOMETHING, THE NAME OF THE GANG.
I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS A WEAPON OUT OF HIS SIDE.
AND I WENT INTO MY ELVIS.
AND I JUST LOOKED AT HIM.
I LOOKED AT HIM.
NO, NO, NO.
I COULDN'T TALK, MY LEGS WERE SHAKING, AND I JUST WENT.
AND I WENT TO THE SWARM OF FLIES, AND I POINTED MY FINGER,
IT WAS A MIXTURE OF DON KNOTTS AND ELVIS.
I KNOW IT DID.
BUT ANYWAY, HE WENT WITH HIS, WHAT?
AND I MEAN, FIRE SHOT OUT OF MY EYES.
LIKE, THEY SAW SOMETHING.
LIKE THIS, THE OTHER GUYS WENT.
AND THEY STARTED RUNNING, I MEAN RUNNING,
THEY WERE RUNNING.
I'M LIKE, LOOKING, THE COP'S NOT EVEN THERE.
THEY'RE RUNNING DOWN THE HILL.
THEY WERE-- I MEAN, WHEN I SAY THEY WERE RUNNING,
HE FINALLY COMES OUT.
HE'S HOLDING HIS GUN UP IN HIS COP SHIRT.
THEY GET IN THEIR CARS.
STARTED GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT WITH EACH OTHER.
WELL, THAT'S TOO LATE.
AND THEY WERE IN SUCH A HURRY THAT THEY
HEY, STOP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SAW, AND IT WASN'T ME.
THEY WERE HITTING EACH OTHER'S CAR.
NO, IT WASN'T.
THEY SAW ANGELS.
IT WASN'T ME.
BECAUSE GOD CHOSE TO SET A DIFFERENCE
FROM THE SWIRLING SUPPLIES.
AND OF COURSE, THE COP'S UP THERE, AND HE THINKS HE DID IT.
I'M LIKE, PUT YOUR GUN AWAY.
THEY'RE ALREADY GONE.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
IT'S TOO LATE.
FOR OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
YOU KNOW, I'M ONLY-- LET'S GIVE A HAND CLAP
WHERE-- IT'S OK.
HOW MANY OF YOU CAN SAY IN YOUR LIFE
YOU'RE NOT CLAPPING, OFFICER HERRICK.
YOU DON'T LIKE THAT STORY, HUH?
THAT YOU'VE HAD A SWARM OF FLIES?
ANYWAY, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW,
YOU'VE HAD SOMETHING THAT THE ENEMY TRIED TO DO TO YOU,
BUT GOD INTERVENED?
THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
PART OF YOUR INHERITANCE-- YEAH, WE
WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT HEALTH, HEALING, WHOLENESS,
AS PART OF YOUR INHERITANCE.
SOUNDNESS OF MIND, FORGIVENESS, BUT ALSO PRESERVATION.
PART OF YOUR PACKAGE DEAL WHERE YOU ARE SEATED WITH
IT, LUKE 10, 19.
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU, HE SAID IT.
CHRIST IS PROTECTION.
PRESERVATION. LOOK AT, JESUS SAID
ALONG A LITTLE BIT QUICKER.
LOOK AT LUKE 10, 19, THEN WE'RE GONNA MOVE
IN LUKE CHAPTER 10, JESUS SAID, "BEHOLD."
IT MEANS PAY ATTENTION TO, LOOK, OBSERVE.
NOW, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BEHOLD?
DON'T JUST READ OVER THIS SCRIPTURE
AND THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT.
LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, PAY ATTENTION.
HE SAID IN LUKE 10, LOOK, PAY ATTENTION, ALL RIGHT?
DONKEYS, RHINOS, AND SCORPIONS, AND EVEN ELEPHANTS.
I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD UPON SERPENTS,
AND OVER ALL, UNDERLINE CIRCLE KISS.
THE WORD ALL.
WE MAKE THE DEVIL WHO IS A FLY OUT
ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY.
WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS IN OUR LIFE, WE GLORIFY THE ENEMY.
LIKE HE'S GOT ALL THIS POWER.
WELL, YOU KNOW THE DEVIL IS.
HE'S DEFEATED.
WELL, WHO CARES?
OH, MY ACHY BACK.
YOU KNOW, ARTHRITIS, IT RUNS IN OUR FAMILY.
IF YOU'RE SEATED IN CHRIST, YOU'RE
WELL, WHY?
NOW UNDER A NEW PAIR OF JEANS.
2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 5.
WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
YOU THAT ARE IN CHRIST-- WE'RE AT IN CHRIST.
OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY, SO QUIT TRYING TO
RIGHT THERE, SEATED WITH HIM.
BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW.
KEEP DOING OLD THINGS.
YOU ARE SEATED, YOU HAVE BEEN CLOTHED
WITH A NEW SET OF CLOTHES, ROYAL GARMENTS.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST ROYAL GARMENTS,
IT'S CALLED A GENERATIONAL BLESSING, AN INHERITANCE,
THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED IN THE NATURAL GENES,
SOME OF YOU ARE ILLEGITIMATE BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED
IN THE NATURAL GENES.
I WAS TRYING TO KEEP IT G-RATED THERE.
YOU ARE REALLY SLOW.
LISTEN, UNCLE DELBERT, I'M REALLY SORRY
FOR THIS CROWD TODAY.
BUT HERE'S THE POINT.
WE BASE EVERYTHING OFF OF, WELL, YOU KNOW,
MY RELATIVE WAS A LOONY.
CAN'T SAY UNCLE 'CAUSE HE'S HERE.
NO, STOP.
MY OTHER RELATIVES WERE LOONY, YOU KNOW,
WELL, QUIT CLAIMING THAT.
SO OUR FAMILY TREE IS THE NUT TREE.
THAT MAY BE WHAT USED TO BE, BUT WHEN YOU SAID, "JESUS, COME
INTO MY HEART," EVERY CURSE, EVERY ASSIGNMENT, ANYTHING THAT
RUNS THROUGH THE GENES GETS ABSOLUTELY CANCELED
IF YOU BELIEVE IT, AND NOW YOU INHERIT A WHOLE
NEW SET OF GENES WHERE YOU PARTAKE OF THE GOD KIND OF
LIFE, THAT PLACE THAT YOU DWELL WITH HIM IN CHRIST.
I WANNA BREAK THIS DOWN.
DO A BREAKDOWN, SAY LET'S BREAK IT DOWN.
SO MOSES AND GOD ARE HAVING A DISCUSSION.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT EXODUS 33.
I WILL KEEP IT SIMPLE AND I GOTTA HURRY.
MOSES SAYS, GOD, I WANNA SEE YOUR GLORY.
AND GOD SAYS, ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA LET ALL MY GOODNESS
AND I'M GONNA BE GRACIOUS.
AND MY MERCY, NOTICE HE SAID PASS BY YOU,
NOW, WHAT HAPPENED ON THE NIGHT OF THE PASSOVER?
THOSE THAT WERE SET IN A PLACE, RIGHT,
IN THEIR HOMES, COVERED BY A LAMB'S BLOOD,
HINT, HINT, REMEMBER THE BLOOD THAT I TALKED ABOUT?
AND THEY MADE TWO-- THEY MADE A SIGN OF A CROSS.
THEY PUT THE BLOOD ON IT, RIGHT?
WOULD PASS OVER, WHOEVER WAS IN THAT PLACE
RIGHT? AND GOD, WHEN HE
WHEN HE PASSED OVER, NO DEVIL, NO DEATH COULD
NOW GO BACK TO LUKE 10, 19.
TOUCH THEM IN THAT PLACE.
THE PASSOVER WAS A TYPE AND SHADOW
JESUS SAID THIS.
OF WHERE YOU ARE SEATED IN CHRIST.
REMEMBER THE FLIES CAN'T TOUCH YOU, THEY CAN'T LAND ON YOU.
BEHOLD I GIVE YOU POWER TO TREAD UPON SERPENTS, SCORPIONS, OVER
ALL THE POWERS OF THE DEVIL.
NOTICE THE WORD ALL.
HE'S NOT LYING.
AND NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAID.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS PLACE.
AND BY NO MEANS, NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU.
NO FLY IS GOING TO LAND.
SAY IT, BUZZ OFF, DEVIL.
THAT'S WHAT I DID THE OTHER DAY.
BUZZ OFF, BUZZ OFF.
THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS HURTING ON MY BODY.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD THAT?
AND I SAID, "I'M SEALED."
AND I LOOKED AT IT, IT WAS MY FOOT.
I SAID, "I'M SEALED, I'M SEALED, I'M SEALED."
FOOT, BECAUSE I HEARD IT A FEW WEEKS BACK.
THAT MEANS I'VE BEEN STAMPED.
I SAID, "FOOT, YOU'RE SEALED.
YOU'RE HEALED.
PAIN, BUZZ OFF."
SO GET OFF MY BODY.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT ON MY BODY.
AND I HAVE A SCRIPTURE RIGHT, ISAIAH 53,
"HE BORE MY PAINS."
WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW, PASTOR, YOU TURNED 59.
THAT'S WHAT IT SAID.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AND THAT MEANS NOTHING EXCEPT I GOT OLDER.
YOU'RE ALMOST 60, YEAH?
RIGHT?
I'M STEPPING ON YOUR TOES WHILE I'M TALKING ABOUT MINE.
YOU DON'T LIKE THAT.
HERE WE GO.
THERE IS A PLACE, MOSES.'"
THERE'S A PLACE.
NOW LOOK, VERSE 21, "AND THE LORD SAID, 'BEHOLD,
NOTICE WHAT GOD SAID, "BY ME."
NOTICE GOD'S TALKING ABOUT THIS PLACE.
HE'S GIVING AN EXAMPLE TO MOSES,
HE'S WAITING FOR JESUS TO BE CRUCIFIED,
WHICH HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR AT THAT TIME.
AT THAT PLACE BY HIM, SO THAT HE COULD OPEN
RESURRECTED, AND ASCENDED, SO THAT JESUS COULD SIT
IT UP TO WHOEVER CALLS AND SAYS, "JESUS,
COME INTO MY HEART."
THEN YOU COULD SIT THERE, RIGHT THERE, WITH HIM.
STAND UPON A ROCK."
HE SAYS, "THERE'S A PLACE BY ME, "AND YOU SHALL
1 CORINTHIANS 10, CALLED JESUS THE ROCK.
IS THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT?
GOD SET HIM IN A PLACE, PROTECTED BY A LAMB'S BLOOD.
NO, IT ISN'T.
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PASSOVER?
AND HE SAID, "AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS."
WHAT ARE YOU PROTECTED BY TODAY?
THE LAMB OF GOD, JESUS' BLOOD.
TWO PIECES OF ROCK."
"AND WHILE MY GLORY PASSES BY, "I WILL PUT YOU BETWEEN
WHAT DID JESUS DO WITH THE ACTUAL ROCK?
JESUS. WHAT DID THE FATHER DO WITH
JESUS, THE ACTUAL ROCK?
PUT HIM BETWEEN TWO THIEVES.
AS A SIGN OF WHAT HE'S TELLING MOSES,
OF WHERE WE'RE SEATED TODAY.
"AND I WILL PASS BY."
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS PLACE.
AND HE SAYS, "AND I'LL COVER YOU WITH MY HAND,
LOOK AT, I'M GONNA GO THROUGH THESE VERY FAST.
LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAID BEFORE HE ASCENDED.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
LOOK AT LUKE 22, 16.
HE SAID, "LOOK, THERE IS A PLACE THAT IS WHERE I GO,
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 60,
"THAT IS BY MY FATHER."
ACTUALLY IT'S LUKE 22, 69.
MAYBE I WROTE IT 6, 16, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 6, 69.
AND IT SAYS, JESUS SAYING, "THERE'S A PLACE BY ME."
HEREAFTER YOU'LL SEE THE SON OF MAN
I'LL GO TO THE NEXT SCRIPTURE SO THAT WE COULD SEE IT.
SEE IT?
SITTING ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE POWER OF GOD.
SO EPHESIANS 1, 17 THROUGH 20, THIS IS POWERFUL.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER PRAYED THIS THING?
I PRAY THIS OVER MY KIDS ALMOST EVERY DAY.
NOW WE OFTEN PRAY THIS, BUT WE DON'T SEE.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM.
I PRAY THAT THE GOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
THE FATHER OF GLORY, MAY GIVE UNTO YOU
THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION,
VERSE 18, THAT THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING
WILL BE ENLIGHTENED, THAT YOU MAY KNOW
AND WHAT ARE THE RICHES OF THE GLORY
WHAT IS THE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING?
SO IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT ARE THE RICHES?
WHAT'S YOUR NICHE?
OF THE INHERITANCE IN SAINTS?
HOW RICH, JUST HOW MUCH IS YOUR INHERITANCE?
WELL, YOUR INHERITANCE IS WHERE?
HOW RICH IS YOUR INHERITANCE?
IN THAT PLACE THE FATHER SAID, THAT'S BY HIM.
AND JESUS SAID IT, I JUST SHOWED IT.
HEY, I'M GETTING READY TO GO SIT AT MY FATHER'S RIGHT HAND.
SAME THING THAT GOD WAS SAYING TO MOSES,
"MOSES, THERE'S A PLACE BY ME."
THAT'S THE PLACE BY HIM.
AND IT'S THE ROCK, IT'S JESUS.
BUT I'M GONNA USE A NATURAL ROCK OVER HERE TO SHOW YOU.
THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
COME ON, ALL THE SCRIPTURES THAT SAY IN HIM,
AND THEN WHEN WE ACCEPTED JESUS, WE SAT DOWN IN HIM, WITH HIM.
HOW MANY OF YOU EVER READ THOSE SCRIPTURES?
IN HIM.
THIS IS WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT, THAT PLACE, THIS PLACE,
THIS GOSHEN THAT NO HARM, NO EVIL CAN BEFALL YOU.
THIS IS THAT PLACE.
"THE RICHES OF THE GLORIOUS INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS."
AND SO NOTICE WHAT IT SAYS, VERSE 18,
AND WATCH THIS, LOOK AT VERSE 19.
"AND WHAT IS THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TO US
ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF HIS MIGHTY POWER?"
IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT IS THIS RICH INHERITANCE?
LOOK AT VERSE 20.
AND WHICH JESUS GAVE TO US WHEN GOD RAISED
HIM FROM THE DEAD AND WHEN HE WAS SAT
AT HIS RIGHT HAND, THAT'S WHEN ALL OF THESE THINGS,
NOW, WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
MY INHERITANCE, GOD ACTIVATED.
LOOK AT PSALM 91.
THE OLD TESTAMENT CALLS IT THIS.
HE THAT DWELLS IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.
SO NOTICE IT'S A SECRET PLACE.
NOW WHEN THAT WAS WRITTEN, IT WAS A SECRET PLACE.
SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY.
IT WAS A SECRET PLACE.
IT ISN'T A SECRET ANYMORE.
HERE'S WHY.
LOOK AT 1 CORINTHIANS 2, VERSE EIGHT.
WHEN THE TIME OF THAT PSALM WAS WRITTEN,
IF THE DEVIL WOULD HAVE KNOWN
THAT THERE WAS A SECRET PLACE, AND THAT PLACE WAS BY THE
FATHER AT HIS RIGHT HAND, AND THE ROCK, JESUS, WOULD
SHED HIS BLOOD AS THE LAMB AND SIT THERE, AND WE
NONE OF THE DEVILS, DEMONS, THE DEVIL HIMSELF,
WOULD SIT THERE WITH HIM.
HAD THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT SECRET PLACE
BECAUSE WITHOUT HIS BLOOD, THERE IS NO SITTING
THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER CRUCIFIED THE LORD
THAT THE PSALMIST WROTE IN PSALM 91,
IN THAT PLACE.
IT WAS A SECRET.
AND THERE'S NO SEATING AND INHERITANCE FOR YOU.
HAD THE DEVIL KNOWN THAT?
HE WOULD HAVE NEVER CRUCIFIED HIM.
SO WHEN THIS PSALM WAS WRITTEN, GO BACK TO PSALM 91,
IT WAS A SECRET PLACE.
WHEN THE PSALMIST IS PENNING OUR GOSHEN.
IT WAS BEING KEPT FROM THE DEVIL.
AND THE DEVIL DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT
LOOK AT VERSE SEVEN.
HE HAD NO CLUE.
HE WAS PENNING THE LORD OF THE DIFFERENCE.
SOUNDS LIKE WHAT JESUS SAID.
HEY, I'VE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY OVER SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS
AND OVER ALL THE POWERS OF THE DEVIL.
AND EXCUSE ME, NOTHING IS GONNA INJURE YOU.
I READ YOU VERSE ONE.
THE SECRET PLACE, NO LONGER A SECRET.
NOTHING IS GONNA HURT YOU IN THIS PLACE.
LOOK AT PSALM 91.
10,000S ARE GONNA COME AT YOUR RIGHT HAND.
THOUSANDS ARE GONNA FALL AT YOUR SIDE.
OH, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA COME NEAR MOON-WA.
WE CALL IT MOON-WA OR MOON-WA?
IT'S NOT GONNA COME MOON-WA OR OO-WA OR OO-AH
I DON'T KNOW, WHATEVER.
MAN, I LOOK JUST LIKE IT.
OR WHATEVER, IT'S NOT GONNA COME NEAR ME.
PASTOR BRENDA TOLD ME LAST WEEK I DID MC HAMMER MOVE.
SHE SAID, "PLEASE DON'T DO THAT AGAIN, HANK."
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
I SAID, "WHY, BRENT, IS IT TOO SEXY?"
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
SHE SAID, "NO, YOU LOOK STUPID."
SHE ROLLED HER EYES.
NOTHING LIKE AN HONEST WIFE, RIGHT?
NOW WATCH.
(LAUGHING)
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
QUIT LAUGHING.
LOOK AT VERSES 10 THROUGH 11.
I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS.
THIS IS POWERFUL.
NO EVIL, DIDN'T JESUS SAY THAT IN LUKE 10, 19?
NOTHING OF THE ENEMY CAN HARM YOU, LUKE 10, 19.
THAT SECRET PLACE IS NO LONGER A SECRET, WHY?
JESUS WALKED IN WITH HIS OWN BLOOD,
IT'S BEEN ESTABLISHED.
SAT AT THAT PLACE BY THE FATHER.
AND WHEN YOU SAY, JESUS, COME INTO MY HEART,
IT'S NO LONGER A SECRET.
BAM, YOU'RE SEATED RIGHT THERE WITH HIM.
NO EVIL CAN BEFALL YOU.
NEITHER CAN ANY WHAT?
WELL, EXCEPT THE VARIANT OF COVID-19, PASTOR.
REALLY, WE'RE GONNA STILL BELIEVE THAT NONSENSE?
MASK OURSELVES UP.
LOOK AT VERSE 16.
NO SICKNESS CAN COME NEAR YOUR DWELLING.
THIS PLACE IS SO AWESOME IT SOUNDS LIKE JOHN 10 10.
TO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY.
THE ENEMY COMES LIKE A SWARM OF FLIES
BUT I'VE COME TO GIVE YOU LIFE AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.
WOW, STILL PART OF THE SECRET PLACE?
AS THE LORD OF THE FLY REMEMBERED
IT'S NOT A SECRET ANYMORE?
WELL, WHAT KIND OF LIFE?
WITH LONG LIFE, YOU'RE GONNA BE SATISFIED.
AND I'LL SHOW YOU MY SALVATION.
WHEN YOU ASK JESUS IN YOUR HEART AND YOU SIT DOWN, IT'S YOURS.
OH, ALL YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF YOUR SALVATION,
YOUR INHERITANCE.
THAT'S THE SECRET PLACE.
EVEN ANGELS, LOOK AT HEBREWS 1 VERSE 14.
REMEMBER IT SAYS HE'LL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE.
THAT WAS VERSE 11 OF PSALM 91.
HEIR OF SALVATION.
I DIDN'T SHOW YOU THAT, BUT IT'S IN PSALM 91.
AREN'T ANGELS MINISTERING SPIRITS?
AND THEY'RE SENT TO HELP YOU 'CAUSE YOU'RE AN
SO WHEN YOU ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART
YOU SIT DOWN, THE REASON WHY NO EVIL CAN BEFALL YOU,
WITH LONG LIFE HE'LL SATISFY YOU,
NO PLAGUE CAN COME NEAR YOUR DWELLING,
PUT A PERIMETER OF PROTECTION AND AN ENFORCEMENT
IS BECAUSE HE ALSO GIVES ANGELS TO HELP
THAT THIS IS A NO FLY ZONE, THIS IS A NO SICKNESS ZONE,
NO ARTHRITIS ZONE, NO STRIFE ZONE.
WE AIN'T ARGUING IN THIS MARRIAGE, WE'RE NOT ARGUING.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE REBELLIOUS KIDS, I'M GONNA PRAY.
I'M GONNA HAVE A GODLY SPOUSE, RIGHT?
WHEN I'M IN MY CAR, IT'S A NO-GO ZONE, NO-FLY ZONE.
'CAUSE HE GIVES HIS ANGELS CHARGE.
I'M IN THAT PLACE, IT'S NO LONGER A SECRET
BECAUSE CHRIST HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED, RESURRECTED,
AND NOW HE SITS AT THAT PLACE BY THE FATHER.
LET ME SHOW YOU VERY QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS EXAMPLE.
LOOK AT GENESIS 3, VERSE 21.
I JUST, I GOTTA ILLUSTRATE THIS SO YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IT.
WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED, THEY LOST THE GLORY OF GOD.
AND THAT'S WHEN ADAM LOOKED AT HIS WIFE AND
RIGHT? THEY WERE COVERED BECAUSE
AFTER THEY SINNED, THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER
HE LOOKED AT HIS NAKED WIFE AND WENT, "WHOA, MAN!"
WOMEN GOT THEIR NAME.
UNCLE DUBBERT, I'M REALLY SORRY.
AND SHE GOES, "I THINK THAT FITS."
USUALLY THESE JOKES AND STUFF, THEY JUST--
I MEAN, THEY-- YOU KNOW.
BECAUSE THEY HAD THE GLORY ON THEM.
HE LOOKED AT HER AND WENT, WHOA, MAN.
BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON,
AND SHE LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, I HAVE A HEADACHE.
SO-- NO, SEE HOW THAT WORKS?
I HAVE TO WORK YOU TO GET A RESPONSE OUT OF YOU.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
SO ANYWAY, I KNOW WE DID.
TO RESTORE THE GLORY.
OK. SO LOOK AT WHAT GOD DOES
HE PUTS THEM IN A PLACE.
LOOK AT GENESIS 3, 21.
AND NOTICE THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK MEANS TWO.
LOOK AT WHAT GOD DOES.
GOD KILLS THE FIRST ANIMAL SACRIFICES.
"AND ADAM AND TO HIS WIFE DID GOD MAKE COATS OF SKIN TOO.
'CAUSE HE HAD TO ESTABLISH A PLACE.
"AND HE CLOTHED THEM."
AND THE ONLY THING THAT COULD ESTABLISH THE PLACE
WAS THOSE COATS OF SKIN HAD TO BE DRIPPING WITH BLOOD.
'CAUSE IT WAS A SIGN THAT JESUS WOULD HAVE TO SHED HIS BLOOD
AS A LAMB SO THAT THAT PLACE BY THE FATHER,
DOWN WITH JESUS AND RECEIVE YOUR INHERITANCE ALRIGHT LOOK
JESUS COULD COME AND SIT DOWN AND YOU COULD SIT
AND THEY WENT IN MALE AND FEMALE OF ALL FLESH. WOW. NO
GENESIS CHAPTER 7 VERSE 16 SO NOW LOOK AT NOAH ARK SO NOAH
"I IDENTIFY AS I DON'T KNOW. NO NO NO NOT 2 MALES OF
GENDER CONFUSION HUH NOAH? NOAH DIDNT GO OK WHAT ARE YOU?
HIPPOPOTAMUS. ONLY 1 "I IDENTIFY AS A FEMALE.
GET OFF MY ARK! RIGHT?
AND GOD COMMANDED HIM.
WHEN THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO UPHOLD TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE
SO DON'T GET MAD AT THE MESSENGERS, THE PREACHERS,
AND TRUE GENDER IDEOLOGY.
ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN IN MARRIAGE, MALE AND FEMALE.
GOD COMMANDED IT.
SO YOU PREACHER OUT THERE THAT'S WATCHING ME,
THAT IS A WUSS AND YOU'RE AFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING
BOLD OR CONTROVERSIAL.
SO LOOK AT GENESIS 7 VERSE 16.
WHEN I START GOING POLITICAL, RIGHT?
THAT'S NOT POLITICAL, IT'S CALLED MORAL
NOW I'M GETTING A RISE OUT OF HERE
AND IT'S CALLED BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW AND RIGHT.
AND NOTICE GOD SHUT HIM IN.
HELLO? WHO SHUT HIM IN?
BETWEEN TWO SIDES OF AN ARK.
GOD DID.
WHO SHUT HIM IN?
WHO SHUT YOU IN?
YOU'RE SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVEN.
YOU ARE SHUT IN JUST LIKE THAT ARK.
THESE SCRIPTURES.
ALL RIGHT I BETTER SHOW YOU
OH I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
LOOK AT LOOK AT ROMANS 8, 16, AND
THEN I'M GONNA BACKPEDAL.
LOOK AT ROMANS 8, 16.
REMEMBER, THE FATHER SAYS, "THERE'S A PLACE BY ME."
BUT JESUS, YOU AS THE LAMB OF GOD
ARE GONNA HAVE TO SHED YOUR BLOOD.
LIKE THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK, LIKE THE TWO SIDES
I'M GONNA PLACE YOU BETWEEN TWO THIEVES
OF NOAH'S ARK, AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR BLOOD TO THE MERCY SEAT.
TO SHED YOUR BLOOD.
AND WHEN YOU DO, THERE'S A PLACE BY ME.
JESUS DID THAT.
I SAID IT.
HE SAT DOWN, AND GUESS WHERE YOU'RE SEATED.
LOOK AT ROMANS 8, 16.
SO THAT'S YOUR RIGHT TO SIT WITH JESUS.
THE SPIRIT, HOLY SPIRIT TELLS US THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
YOU'RE A JOINT HEIR WITH CHRIST.
YOU'RE AN HEIR OF GOD.
SO YOU PARTAKE WITH HIM.
AND IF YOU'RE A CHILD, YOU'RE AN HEIR.
LOOK AT THE NEXT SCRIPTURE.
THIS IS SO POWERFUL.
LOOK AT EPHESIANS 2, 6, 7.
SO WHERE ARE YOU SEATED?
OR I'M SEATED IN MY LIVING ROOM WITH SOME WAFFLES.
BOY, I WISH I HAD YOUR WAFFLES, FOR THOSE OF YOU
WELL, I'M SEATED IN CHURCH.
THAT ARE WATCHING, I WISH I HAD THOSE
SCRAMBLED EGGS AND THE MAPLE SYRUP THAT'S
RUNNING INTO THE EGGS.
LOOK AT VERSE, AND HE RAISED US UP.
YOU E-MEMBERS ARE AMAZING.
OKAY, HOW DID HE RAISE US UP?
ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT THIS.
WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS, RESURRECTED,
NOW HE'S ASCENDED, HE'S BEING RAISED UP.
AND GUESS WHAT?
WHEN WE SAY, "JESUS, COME INTO MY HEART,"
WE'RE RAISED UP TOGETHER AND WE'RE MADE.
IT'S GOD'S IDEA.
MADE, THAT'S NOT SUGGESTIVE.
TO SIT WHERE THE FATHER IS HERE.
THERE'S A PLACE BY HIM AT THE RIGHT HAND.
JESUS FULFILLED IT, JESUS IS HERE.
AND WHERE ARE YOU AT?
I JUST SHOWED YOU AS AN HEIR.
HE MADE US SIT TOGETHER.
HE SAYS, "HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE AN HEIR TO WARREN BUFFET?"
YOU GOT SOMETHING BETTER THAN THAT.
IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST, JESUS, LOOK AT VERSE 7.
QUICKLY, LOOK AT THIS ONE.
KINDNESS TOWARDS US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST."
EXCEEDING RICHES," WOW, "OF HIS GRACE AND
"THAT IN THE AGES TO COME, "HE MIGHT SHOW THE
YOU TALK ABOUT A KIND ACT.
IS EVERYTHING JESUS PAID FOR WAS FOR YOU?
IT WAS HIS IDEA.
DO YOU WANNA LIVE IN THAT PLACE?
IT'S UP TO YOU.
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS TAKE IT.
YOU CAN LIVE DOWN WITH THE FLIES.
IN THAT SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE.
YOU CAN LIVE WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
GENESIS 7, 16, GOD SETS HIM IN.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT GENESIS 15.
LOOK AT VERSES 10, 12, AND 17.
THIS IS SO POWERFUL.
OKAY, GO BACK.
THIS IS BEFORE THE PARTING OF THE RED SEA.
GENESIS 15, NOW GOD IS ESTABLISHING
COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM.
AND GOD TOOK, OR ABRAHAM TOOK AND DIVIDED THE COW
OR THE BULLOCK IN HALF.
LOOK AT VERSE, WHAT IS IT?
LAID ONE PIECE ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER HE DID
ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUT THE BIRDS HE DIDN'T.
DEEP SLEEP FELL UPON ABRAHAM.
12. AND WHEN THE SUN WENT DOWN, A
GOD WAS TRYING TO SET HIM IN A PLACE.
YOU KNOW WHY?
WELL, PASTOR, WHAT WAS THAT PLACE?
THAT WE NEED TO LABOR TO COME INTO HIS REST?
HAVE YOU EVER READ IN HEBREWS WHERE IT SAYS
THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR.
YOU NEED TO QUIT WORKING SO HARD AT STUFF
QUIT TRYING TO WORK SO HARD TO GET HEALED, YOU ALREADY ARE.
QUIT WORKING SO HARD OF STUFF THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED.
IT'S ALREADY PAID FOR.
HE PUT HIM IN A DEEP SLEEP TO SYMBOLIZE THE COVENANT THAT
IS OURS TODAY, THAT WE NEED TO REST IN THE FACT
THAT WHEN JESUS SAID ON THE CROSS, "IT IS FINISHED,"
IT MEANS THERE AIN'T NOTHING ELSE.
IT'S DONE.
NO ARGUING.
YOU CAN ARGUE WITH THIS ALL DAY LONG.
IT'S OVER.
BUT THE FACT IS, HE SAT DOWN AT THAT PLACE BY THE FATHER,
AND WE ARE SEATED THERE WITH HIM.
AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD HEALS SOME
AND ALL THE THINGS HE PAID FOR IS MINE.
WHETHER WE WANT TO KNOW IT BECAUSE MY PEOPLE PERISH
IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE PAID FOR,
AND HEALS OTHERS.
FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.
SO NOW LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS IN VERSE 17.
HOW MANY ARE HEARING ME?
HE'S IN THIS PLACE OF REST.
IT'S THAT SECRET PLACE, NO LONGER A SECRET.
IT'S THE PLACE WHERE TO REST OUR INHERITANCE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT'S DARK.
CAME TO PASS WHEN THE SUN WENT DOWN, IT WAS DARK.
COME ON, THAT'S THE PILLAR OF CLOUD, LIKE IN THE RED SEA.
BEHOLD, A SMOKING FURNACE.
AND A BURNING LAMP, THAT'S THE FIRE.
PASSED BETWEEN WHAT?
TWO PIECES, TWO PIECES.
ALL RIGHT, GO TO EXODUS 14.
AND THE ANGEL OF GOD WENT BEFORE THE CAMP OF ISRAEL.
HE WENT BEHIND THEM AND THE PILLAR OF CLOUD,
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE RED SEA A FEW CHAPTERS LATER.
COME ON, THAT'S THE SMOKING FURNACE.
WENT BEFORE THEM IN THEIR FACE AND STOOD BEHIND THEM.
HE MADE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FLY ZONE
AND THERE WAS A LIGHT IN THE CAMP BETWEEN THE EGYPTIANS.
COME ON, WHAT DID GOD DO IN EXODUS 8?
AND THE NON-FLY ZONE.
HE'S DOING IT RIGHT NOW WITH THE EGYPTIANS.
THE FLIES, THE FLY ZONE, AND THE NO-FLY ZONE,
THAT PLACE, THAT SECRET PLACE, THAT SEPARATE PLACE.
GOD PUTS THIS CLOUD AND A LIGHT, PILLAR OF CLOUD BY
SMOKING FURNACE, BURNING LIGHT, RIGHT?
DAY, FIRE BY NIGHT, SAME THING, GENESIS 15,
SO THAT NO ONE COULD COME NEAR THE OTHER ALL NIGHT.
WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE WATERS WERE DIVIDED.
NOTICE WHAT IT SAYS, I THINK IT'S VERSE 21,
THE ENEMY COULD NOT TOUCH THEM.
HE STRETCHED OUT HIS HANDS, THE LORD CAUSED THE WIND,
ALL NIGHT MADE THE SEA DRY LAND AND THE WATERS WERE DIVIDED,
JUST LIKE I SHOWED YOU.
JESUS BETWEEN THE DIVIDING OF TWO THIEVES.
ALL OF THIS IS PLAYING OUT SO THAT THE FATHER
HIS SON COULD SIT AT HIS RIGHT HAND
COULD HAVE HIS SATISFACTION.
AND THEN WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS,
AFTER AS THE LAMB OF GOD, HE SHEDS HIS BLOOD.
YOU SIT RIGHT THERE AND EVERYTHING THAT JESUS PAID FOR
NOTHING IS IN VAIN IT'S YOURS IF YOU KNOW THAT IT IS. ARE YOU
LUKE 10, 19. I GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY TO TRIED UP SERPENTS
HERE? AND NOTICE THEY COULDNT COME NEAR EACH OTHER SOUNDS LIKE
AND SCORPIONS AND ALL OF THE POWER OF THE DEVIL AND BY NO
MEANS THE DEVIL CAN'T TOUCH YOU. HOW MANY ARE YOU GETTING THIS?
ALRIGHT I'M GOING TO WRAP IT UP.
WRAP IT UP. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START COMING.
SAY, "WRAP IT UP."
I'M GOING TO WRAP IT UP.
ARE YOU UNDERSTANDING THIS?
OF THIS SECRET PLACE.
TO GO OVER ALL THE NO'S WITH YOU AND SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE
YES. BECAUSE THEN NEXT WEEK I'M GOING
IT'S NO LONGER A SECRET WHERE YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR
FOOT DOWN AND SAY, "NO."
IF GOD WAS WILLING TO DO IT FOR OLD TESTAMENT PEOPLE WHO WERE
NOT UNDER THE NEW COVENANT, THAT WE'RE OF A BETTER COVENANT?
HOW MUCH MORE?
YOU HAVE A BETTER COVENANT.
ALL RIGHT, GO BACK TO JOHN 10, 10.
I'M GONNA WRAP THIS UP.
JOHN 10, 10.
ALL RIGHT, THE DEVIL, WHO'S THE LORD OF THE FLIES,
AND THEY WANNA STEAL FROM YOU.
BE ALSO ABOVE, HE COMES WITH HIS DEMONS, HIS FLIES,
THEY WANNA TRY TO KILL YOU.
THEY WANT TO TRY TO DESTROY YOU.
BUT STOP, THERE'S A COLON, THERE'S A SEPARATION.
I SHOWED YOU THE EXAMPLES OF GOD SHOWING YOU THE DIFFERENCE.
EXODUS 8, I THE LORD WILL PUT A DIFFERENCE.
NOW WATCH, JESUS IS SPEAKING, I'M GETTING READY
TO GO TO THE CROSS, AND THE REASON I'M
GOING TO THE CROSS AND I'M GONNA DIE AND
RESURRECT AND THEN ASCEND IS THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE.
THE GOD KIND OF LIFE.
WHAT KIND OF LIFE?
AND HE'S SAYING TO ME, AND IT'S FOUND IN A PLACE,
AND IT'S GONNA BE WHEN I SIT AT MY FATHER'S RIGHT HAND,
IT'S THE BEST LIFE THAT YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE.
AND THEN WHEN YOU ACCEPT ME, YOU GET TO SIT
THERE RIGHT THERE, AND BY THE WAY,
IT'S NOT JUST LIFE.
BUT YOU CAN'T LET THE FLIES IN.
FLIES ARE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I TELL PEOPLE?
COME ON, WHO ARE SOME OF THE PEOPLE YOU'RE LETTING IN?
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PLACES THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DWELL,
GO TO, PARTAKE IN?
YOU KNOW THEY'RE FLIES.
THAT'S FLY ZONE.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH?
THAT'S CALLED FLY ZONE.
WHAT ABOUT THINGS?
AND EVERY TIME YOU INVITE PEOPLE,
YOU BREAK DOWN THIS PLACE.
AND IT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAID THAT GOD HAD TO FIND SOMEBODY
YOU GO TO THE PLACES AND YOU DO THINGS,
ANYBODY WHO COULD TAKE UP THE HEDGE, MAKE UP THE GAP,
TALKING ABOUT JESUS, HE ALREADY DID IT.
SO YOUR JOB IS TO NOT CREATE A HOLE OR AN OPEN WINDOW
OR SCREEN DOOR TO WHERE THE FLIES GET IN.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE TO LIVE HOLY.
HE SET THEM APART, WHICH IS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING
WHAT DID GOD DO IN EXODUS 8?
A SIGN OF BE YE HOLY, AS I, THE LORD GOD, AM HOLY.
IT JUST MEANS I AIN'T BRINGING FLIES INTO THIS ZONE HERE.
DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE STUCK UP, UPROOTED,
ARE YOU HERE?
BAD WORDS, NEGATIVE WORDS, UNFORGIVENESS, WRONG ATTITUDES,
CAN'T GET ALONG WITH MY WIFE.
COME ON, YOU'RE LETTING FLIES IN.
IF YOU'RE A KID, CAN'T GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS.
AND THE FLIES ARE BUZZING OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOWSILL,
CRITICIZING SOMEBODY, YOU'RE JUST OPENING A WINDOW
COME ON, EVERY TIME YOU TALK NEGATIVE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH,
OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND THE FLIES ARE SMELLING IT.
TRYING TO GET INTO THIS PLACE.
BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE THROWING MANURE
LOOK AT JOHN 15, VERSES FIVE THROUGH SEVEN.
IN HIM, BY HIM, THROUGH HIM.
OKAY, ANYTIME YOU SEE THE WORDS IN THE BIBLE,
MAN, THERE'S LIKE 60 SCRIPTURES.
HOW MANY OF YOU READ THAT?
IT'S ALL TALKING ABOUT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
HEY MOSES, THERE IS A PLACE BY ME
IT'S CALLED IN CHRIST.
AND IF I COULD GIVE YOU A NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE,
IN HIM.
SO I'M GONNA SET YOU IN A ROCK, AND BY THE WAY,
THAT ROCK IS MY SON, JESUS.
BUT THAT'S ALL YOU CAN HANDLE RIGHT NOW,
BUT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, IT'S GONNA BE THE BIBLE
JOHN 15, I'M ALMOST DONE.
AND THE REVELATION AND THE FULFILLMENT
ARE YOU GETTING IT?
A LOT OF SCRIPTURES.
I KNOW I'M GIVING YOU A LOT OF SCRIPTURES.
OF WHAT JESUS PAID FOR.
HE THAT DWELLS, OH, OH, OH, UH-OH, UH-OH,
I'M THE VINE, YOU'RE THE BRANCHES, JESUS TALKING.
HE THAT DWELLS IN THE SECRET PLACE.
IT'S NO LONGER A SECRET.
DWELLS, PSALM 91.
EXCEPT HERE'S THE THING, WE'VE RELIGIOCIZED IT.
HE THAT DWELLS IN ME AND I IN THEM,
I'M THE VINE, YOU'RE THE BRANCHES.
"AND WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN DO NOTHING."
THE SAME WILL BRING FORTH MUCH FRUIT.
NOW LOOK AT VERSE SEVEN, I BELIEVE.
"AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU."
YEAH, "IF YOU LIVE IN THAT SECRET PLACE,
COME ON, THIS IS ANOTHER LEVEL OF PRAYER.
"IF YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT I PAID FOR,
"IF YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT I CAME
"AND SAT BY THAT PLACE BY MY FATHER,
I COVERED IT ALL.
"AND I PAID FOR EVERYTHING IN MY BODY,
AND IF YOU SIT THERE TOO, AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT,
IT'LL BE DONE.
BECAUSE MY WORD ABIDES IN YOU, WHEN YOU PRAY,
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA PRAY ACCORDING TO UNBELIEF, OR YOU'RE
NOT GONNA PRAY ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED.
I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE LIKE MY KIDS COMING TO ME, "DAD,
I WANT MILK AND CEREAL, I ASK YOU, AND
IN MOM'S NAME, 'CAUSE SHE BUYS THIS STUFF.
AND I LOOKED AND SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE.
THE MILK IS IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
NO, I WOULD SAY, WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR MILK AND CEREAL?
UNLESS DAD ATE IT, THE CEREAL IS IN THE CABINET.
OH, GOD, HEAL ME.
OH, HEAL ME.
IT'S ALREADY IN THE CUPBOARD.
OH, GOD, HEAL ME.
I'M SO LONELY.
WHEN IS MY HUSBAND GOING TO COME?
I'M A SINGLE PERSON.
HIS BRIDE WAS BIRTHED THE CHURCH.
WHEN JESUS HAD HIS SIDE PIERCED, RIGHT?
A COMPANION.
HOW DID EVE GET CREATED?
RATHER THAN CRYING ABOUT IT, SAY, "IT'S ALREADY PROVIDED.
OUT OF THE SIGHT OF ADAM.
FATHER, I THANK YOU, AND I WAIT UNTIL HE COMES."
"LORD, I'M STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY.
I NEED SOME MONEY."
TITHE. I'LL REBUKE THE DEVOURER.
I'LL OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN.
IT'S ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED IN THE CUPBOARD.
BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE RUBBING THE CUPBOARD, I CAN'T ACTIVATE THAT.
AND I'M SCARED OF ALL THE WOMEN DRIVERS.
LORD, I'M ABOUT TO GET IN MY CAR,
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND GOD LOOKS UP THERE.
BUT I'VE ALREADY GOT IT SOLVED.
IT'S IN MY SON.
AND HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS PRAY.
HE'LL PROTECT YOU.
IT'S ALREADY HERE IN THE CUPBOARD.
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THAT EXAMPLE.
YOU KNOW YOU WANT, ALL RIGHT, LAST SCRIPTURE.
STAND TO YOUR FEET.
I'M GONNA HIT THESE REAL FAST 'CAUSE I WANT TO.
LOOK AT 1 CORINTHIANS 1.30.
1 CORINTHIANS 1.30.
I HAVE TO SHOW THESE TO YOU.
OKAY, BUT OF HIM YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS,
OF WHO GOD IS MADE UNTO US WISDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THREE QUICK SCRIPTURES, OKAY?
SANCTIFICATION, REDEMPTION.
EPHESIANS, TO THE PRAISE OF THE GLORY OF HIS GRACE,
YOU HAVE ALL OF THAT.
NOW, LOOK AT EPHESIANS 1, SIX THROUGH SEVEN,
WHEREIN HE HAS MADE US ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED.
RICHES OF HIS GRACE.
QUIT SAYING I'M NOT ACCEPTED, YOU ALREADY ARE.
SO WHAT GOD IS SAYING IS QUIT SAYING I'M NOT WORTHY.
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD,
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, ACCORDING TO THE
THE CUPBOARD'S FULL.
QUIT GOING AND ASKING AND DEMANDING THINGS
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE SEATED.
THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN FULLY PROVIDED.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S YOURS.
NOW, WE OFTEN QUOTE IT.
WE'RE MORE THAN CONQUERORS.
LOOK AT ROMANS 8, 37.
YOU KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE DON'T CONQUER?
NOW, IN ALL THINGS, WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS
OH, REALLY?
BECAUSE THEY DON'T READ THIS PART.
THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US.
THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OR IN CHRIST JESUS.
OR SOME SAY WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS
SO IN THIS PLACE, YOU HAVE NOW, THERE IS NOTHING
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN SEPARATE YOU.
THAT CAN CONQUER YOU.
WHEN YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST,
NO PRINCIPALITIES, POWERS, RULERS OF DARKNESS, THE MEDIA.
IT SAYS THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN SEPARATE YOU
FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE,
NOBODY CAN MESS WITH YOU IF YOU UNDERSTAND
WHERE YOU'RE SEATED AND WHAT JESUS PAID FOR.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT PHILIPPIANS 4, VERSE 13.
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST, WHICH STRENGTHENS ME.
NOT BY YOUR MIGHT OR POWER.
WHY? WHEN YOU ARE IN CHRIST, IT'S
IT BECOMES THE ACTIVATION OF WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN
PROVIDED. LAST SCRIPTURE, COLOSSIANS 1, 26 THROUGH 27.
EVEN THE MYSTERY, OKAY, IT WAS A MYSTERY.
PSALM 91 CALLED IT THE SECRET PLACE.
IT'S NOT A SECRET ANYMORE, RIGHT?
IT WAS HIDDEN FROM THE DEVIL.
THEY STONED THE PROPHETS WHO PROPHESIED ABOUT THIS MESSIAH.
EVEN THE MYSTERY WHICH HAS BEEN HIDDEN FROM AGES.
IT WAS HIDDEN FROM GENERATIONS.
BUT NOW IT'S BEEN MADE MANIFEST TO WHO?
HOW IS IT MADE MANIFEST?
MOSES, I'M GONNA PUT YOU IN THE CLIFF OF A ROCK
WHEN THE FATHER, LIKE HE DID WITH MOSES,
HE DID IT WHEN HE SET JESUS BETWEEN TWO THIEVES,
BETWEEN TWO PIECES.
JESUS BEING THE ROCK, AND JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD,
I'M GONNA PASS BY YOU.
PAID FOR EVERYTHING, SO THAT NOW HE IS SEATED
AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, THE PLACE BY HIM,
SO NOW IT'S MADE MANIFEST TO US.
IT'S OURS.
AND WE ARE SEATED THERE WITH HIM.
NOW WE UNDERSTAND IT.
TO WHOM GOD WOULD MAKE KNOWN WHAT IS THE WHAT,
LOOK AT VERSE 27.
IT IS SO RICH.
IT HAS EVERYTHING WE NEED.
WHICH IS THE GLORY OF THIS MYSTERY AMONG THE GENTILES.
WHAT IS THE MYSTERY?
HE TELLS YOU.
WHAT IS THIS THAT'S BEEN MANIFEST?
MAN, HOW DO I GET AHOLD OF THOSE RICHES?
IT'S CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.
IF YOU HAVE JESUS IN YOU, THEN HE IS IN YOU,
AND YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
I SAID LAST SCRIPTURE, ACTS 17.
YOU GOTTA SEE THIS ONE, ACTS 17.
THIS IS THE LIFE THAT WE'RE TO LIVE.
LOOK AT WHAT THE WRITER OF ACTS WRITES.
HE SAID, "IN HIM," IN HIM.
WE QUOTE THIS.
♪ AND HAVE OUR BEING ♪
♪ IN HIM WE MOVE ♪
IS THAT RIGHT?
♪ IN HIM WE LIVE ♪
IS THAT ACTS 17, 28?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK IT IS.
YEAH, OKAY, YEAH, ACTS 17, 28.
THAT'S WHAT I SAW IN MY SPIRIT.
FOR IN HIM WE LIVE.
A LIFE IN HIM.
WHERE'S IN HIM?
SO WHAT KIND OF LIFE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HAVE?
IN HIM, THAT'S WHERE I'M TO LIVE.
RIGHT HERE, SEATED WITH HIM.
THAT'S HOW I LOOK AT THINGS.
THAT'S HOW I PRAY.
I LOOK DOWN ON MY PROBLEMS 'CAUSE I ALREADY PAID FOR IT.
THAT'S HOW WE'RE TO LIVE.
I DON'T LOOK UP AND BEG GOD.
I LOOK DOWN, I'M SEATED IN HIM.
I'M NOT WOUND UP IN FEAR, ANXIETY.
IT'S HOW MY ACTIONS ARE TO BE DICTATED IN MY LIFE.
WHEN I MOVE, IT'S NOT WITH SICKNESS IN MY BODY.
I'M NOT RECEIVING THAT.
WELL, PASTOR, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ATTACKED?
ABSOLUTELY. BUT I FIGHT FOR MY RIGHT.
AND HAVE OUR BEING.
MY WHOLE BEING NEEDS TO BE CONSUMED WITHIN HIM.
FATHER, I PRAY FOR EVERY PERSON IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE,
HOW MANY HEAR THIS?
OF THE GREATEST SACRIFICE AND PRICE
THAT LORD, WE RECEIVE THE REVELATION
THAT HAS EVER BEEN KNOWN
TO DEVILS, DEMONS, THINGS CREATED, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE.
IT'S THE GREATEST ABSOLUTE SACRIFICE
WE ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF WHAT JESUS PAID FOR.
AND NOW HE IS SEATED AT YOUR RIGHT HAND, FATHER.
AND WHEN WE ASK JESUS TO COME INTO OUR HEART,
AND ALL OF THESE PRIVILEGES, RIGHTS, BENEFITS ARE ENFORCED.
WE ARE SEATED THERE WITH HIM.
SO THEREFORE WE DECLARE THAT WE ARE THE HEALED OF THE LORD.
WE ARE THE STRONG OF THE LORD.
WE ARE THE BLESSED OF THE LORD.
WE ARE THE PROTECTED AND THE PRESERVED OF THE LORD.
WE ARE THE FORGIVEN OF THE LORD.
WE ARE THE PROSPERED OF THE LORD.
LORD, THANK YOU THAT THIS WORD WILL BE SEALED.
WE THANK YOU.
PASTOR DOUG, I WANT US TO GIVE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY
I WANT US TO STAY STANDING.
TO COME AND TO NOT ONLY ACCEPT JESUS,
BUT ALSO TO, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THEY HAVE A NEED OF
THAT JESUS ALREADY PAID FOR, WE WANT TO MAKE THAT
PASTOR DOUG, COME AND MINISTER TO THE PEOPLE.
AVAILABLE TO YOU.
- GIVE PASTOR HANK A HAND.
ALTAR TEAM, ALTAR TEAM, IF YOU WANT TO COME UP HERE
THAT WAS A GREAT MESSAGE TODAY.
QUICKLY, AND AT THE, DURING THE SERVICE AND AT THE END OF
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
PRAISE GOD.
THE SERVICE, THE ALTAR TEAM WILL BE HERE TO MINISTER TO YOU.
AND ALSO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, YOU'LL
HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER THAT YOU CAN CALL WITH
24 HOURS A DAY.
WE HAVE PRAYER COUNSELORS AVAILABLE TO PRAY WITH YOU AND
THEY'LL BE FREE TO DO THAT.
AGREE WITH YOU JUST AS IF YOU WERE HERE TODAY.
WELL, PASTOR TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOLINESS TODAY, DIDN'T HE?
YOU KNOW, IN HEBREWS 12, 14 SAYS THAT WITHOUT HOLINESS,
WE WILL NOT SEE GOD.
SO I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION TODAY.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TWO QUESTIONS,
BUT THE FIRST ONE IS THIS.
ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT YOU'RE HOLY?
HOW DO I KNOW THAT?
PASTOR WAS TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE TIME THERE,
OH, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE, PASTOR DOUG.
WELL, IT'S WALKING WITH JESUS, WHAT
AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT BENEFIT PACKAGE
AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, WHEN YOU MAKE JESUS CHRIST
THAT HE OFFERS US.
THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE, AND YOU ACCEPT
YOU CAN BE CLEAN, YOU CAN WALK HOLY,
WHAT HE DID FOR US ON THE CROSS, HIS REDEMPTION PACKAGE,
ONLY THROUGH HIM.
YOU CAN'T DO IT ON YOUR OWN.
YOU CAN'T MAKE YOUR, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
TO MAKE YOURSELF GOOD ENOUGH TO BE HOLY.
AND THERE MAY BE SOMEONE HERE, AND YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE TODAY
BUT JESUS CAN DO IT THROUGH YOU.
THAT YOU'RE WALKING IN THAT HOLINESS.
YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE THAT IF YOU WERE TO
PASS ON TO ETERNITY THIS WEEK, WOULD YOU MAKE IT TO HEAVEN.
UNLESS YOU'RE HOLY.
THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO HEAVEN
WITHOUT HOLINESS, YOU WON'T SEE GOD.
OF ALL THE BENEFITS PACKAGE
THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE
THAT PASTOR WAS TALKING ABOUT IF YOU'RE NOT WALKING IN THAT.
BUT THERE ARE SOME, I BELIEVE, THAT NEED TO MAKE
MOST PEOPLE HERE ARE WALKING IN THAT,
THAT DECISION TODAY.
IT'S YOUR DECISION TO MAKE.
HE WON'T FORCE YOU.
JESUS CAN'T FORCE YOU.
TO GET YOU TO WALK IN THIS NEW LIFE.
HE'S DONE EVERYTHING HE CAN DO TO GET YOU TO HEAVEN,
JESUS DOESN'T SEND PEOPLE TO HELL.
IT'S UP TO YOU TO RECEIVE IT.
WE SEND OURSELVES THERE WHEN WE DON'T RECEIVE
THE BENEFIT PACKAGE, THE NEW COVENANT THAT
HE PROVIDED FOR US.
AND IT STARTS BY FAITH AND CONFESSION.
ROMANS 10 TELLS US THAT.
WE BELIEVE IN OUR HEART, WE CONFESS WITH OUR MOUTH,
AND JESUS COMES IN AND SAVES US.
BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME IF YOU WOULD TODAY.
AND IF YOU'RE HERE, NUMBER ONE, AND YOU SAY, "I'M NOT 100% SURE
THAT I WOULD MAKE IT TO HEAVEN."
OVER A MILLION PEOPLE EVERY WEEK,
OVER A MILLION PEOPLE, OVER A MILLION PEOPLE
EVERY WEEK, EVERY WEEK, EVERY WEEK,
DIE AND MOVE ON TO ETERNITY
MOST OF THEM ARE NOT SAVED BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS
NARROW IS THE WAY AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T MAKE IT.
YOU PEOPLE ARE CHOICE, WONDERFULLY, WONDERFULLY,
BECAUSE YOU'RE HEARING SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE
I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE WORD TO DESCRIBE IT, SPECIAL.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE.
I GUESS I'LL USE THE WORD SPECIAL
DON'T GET TO HEAR.
IT'S A WONDERFUL THING TO KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW.
DON'T LET IT SLIP BY.
IF YOU NEED JESUS AND YOU SAY, I'M NOT 100% SURE THAT I
THIS IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.
WOULD MAKE IT TO HEAVEN,
I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY
I'M NOT 100% SURE.
AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU TODAY.
WHO ELSE?
I NEED JESUS.
I SEE A HAND--I SEE TWO HANDS IN THE BACK.
I NEED JESUS.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HEAVEN IS MY HOME,
I WANT TO MAKE THAT DECISION FOR CHRIST.
AND I WANT TO WALK WITH THAT BENEFITS PACKAGE.
I WANT TO DO IT TODAY SO THAT I KNOW WITH ASSURANCE
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING VERY BOLD.
WHEN YOU RAISED YOUR HAND TODAY, YOU'RE
THAT I HAVE JESUS IN MY HEART.
MAKING A PUBLIC CONFESSION.
EVERY TIME JESUS CALLED SOMEONE, HE CALLED THEM PUBLICLY.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO GET UP OUT OF YOUR SEAT.
YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR SEATS ALREADY, I GUESS.
JUST COME RIGHT DOWN HERE AND STAND IN FRONT OF ME.
BUT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO WALK TO THE NEAREST AISLE.
WE'RE GOING TO PRAY TODAY AND GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.
AND JUST WAITING HERE PATIENTLY AS THESE FOLKS COME FORWARD.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE ELSE, FOR BEING REVERENT
THANK YOU FOR MOVING TODAY QUICKLY.
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT TIME AS THEY MAKE A DECISION FOR CHRIST.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM TIME TO COME.
YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION FOR CHRIST.
WHO ELSE?
THERE'S SOMEONE HERE THAT DIDN'T RAISE YOUR HAND,
BUT YOU KNOW THAT THAT WAS YOU.
YOU NEED JESUS.
QUICKLY COME DOWN WITH THESE THAT ARE COMING.
COME ON OVER HERE, FOLKS.
THE LORD'S TUGGING ON YOUR HEART.
THANK YOU, FOLKS, FOR COMING.
JUST STAND RIGHT OVER HERE IN FRONT OF ME.
AND RIGHT ON UP HERE, YOU CAN JUST LOOK AT ME.
IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE?
NO. NO, YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.
NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE THAN DOING THIS.
OKAY. BUT THIS IS THE DAY THAT
YOU'RE MAKING A COMMITMENT TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST
THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE.
EVERY WEEK WE HEAR OF PEOPLE, AND SOME PEOPLE
THANK YOU FOR BEING BOLD ENOUGH TO DO THAT.
DON'T LET US KNOW, BUT THEY PRAY THE SAME PRAYER
AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME WATCHING ONLINE AROUND THE WORLD.
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PRAY, AND THEY CAN DO IT RIGHT
THERE WHEREVER THEY'RE AT BECAUSE JESUS SEES THEM.
AND WHAT I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO DO NOW IS JUST PRAY WITH ME.
YOU JUST REPEAT AFTER ME, AND JESUS WILL COME
INTO YOUR HEART, AND HE'LL SAVE
YOU FROM YOUR SIN.
THAT PASTOR TALKED ABOUT THIS MORNING.
SO YOU JUST REPEAT AFTER ME.
HE'LL MAKE YOU NEW.
AND THEN YOU'RE ENTITLED TO ALL THE BENEFITS
HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS.
I BELIEVE HE WENT TO THE CROSS, HE DIED FOR ME, HE WAS
BURIED, AND HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY.
BE MY SAVIOR.
JESUS, FORGIVE ME FOR SIN IN MY LIFE.
WASH ME CLEAN, AND I WILL WALK WITH YOU ALL
THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR SAVING ME.
ON MAY 25, 2025, I AM A BELIEVER IN YOU, AND YOU ARE MY LORD.
AMEN. AND NOW THAT YOU'VE PRAYED
AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU.
THAT, YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY.
YES, YOU GAVE HER A GIFT.
EILEEN, DIRECT THEM TO WHERE YOU WANT THEM TO GO.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION
NOW, JUST STAY HERE WITH ME FOR A MOMENT.
