- WOW. I CAN ALREADY FEEL GOD, I STILL FEEL HIM. HOW MANY OF YOU
FEEL THE LORD? - YES.
- JUST TELL HIM THAT, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, JUST
SAY, "LORD, I WANT THAT TOUCH." - I WANT THAT TOUCH.
- OF YOUR PRESENCE. - OF YOUR PRESENCE.
- UPON MY LIFE. - UPON MY LIFE.
- AND ALL THE PEOPLE, ONCE AGAIN, SAID.
- MAN, YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE A CROWD THAT PROBABLY
- IT'S RAINING, IT'S RAINING. - WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA
SAY. - THEY CAN COME IN A ROWBOAT.
- WELL, THERE YOU GO, IN A ROWBOAT. BUT NO, YOU DON'T SOUND
LIKE A CROWD THAT WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, I GOT UP AT FOUR THIS
MORNING AND I'M LIKE, MAN, AH, THIS WOULD BE A GREAT DAY TO
SLEEP IN. THEN I REALIZED, WHY SLEEP IN WHEN WE WANNA GO BE
WITH GOD, RIGHT? - THAT'S TRUE, YEAH, THAT'S
RIGHT. - BUT ANYWAY, THIS IS PERFECT
WEATHER THOUGH. PASTOR BRENDA, FOR A NAP. NOT IN CHURCH, NOT IN
CHURCH, BUT AFTERWARDS. HOW MANY OF YOU?
- I DON'T KNOW, PASTOR MATT, HE'S ON VACATION TODAY. IN FACT,
DO YOU GUYS HAVE A PICTURE OF HIS DOG THAT HE SENT? DO YOU
HAVE IT? - WELL, WE GOT A BIG WEEK NEXT
WEEK. YOU'RE GOING TO HOLD DOWN THE FORT NEXT WEEK.
- THIS IS PACKER. PASTOR MATT SENT THIS TODAY.
HE SAID HE'S GETTING HIM ALL READY FOR
FOOTBALL SEASON. SO LOOK AT THE DOG. HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE
DOGS SMILE? THEY SMILE, DON'T THEY? ANYBODY GOT DOGS? THAT'S A
SMILING DOG. HE IS RAISING A FOOTBALL PUP.
- WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE, WELL, AND WE'RE EXCITED. HOW MANY OF
YOU, LET ME SAY THIS, MATT, WE MISS YOU, BY THE WAY, I KNOW
HE'S WATCHING. IN FACT, LET ME DO THIS, WE WELCOME ALL OF YOU
THAT ARE WATCHING ALSO AROUND THE WORLD. AND WE ARE SO
GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR LOVE AND THE E-MEMBERS AND ALSO
OUR FRIENDS AND PARTNERS. BUT NEXT WEEK, MATT'S SHOWING THAT
PICTURE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING, MATT AND I, AND OFFICER WHITE IS
GOING, AND WILLIE, ONE OF OUR OFFICERS THERE. WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE A GREAT TIME, FOUR GUYS WITH CHEESE CURDS AND FOOTBALL.
- THEY'RE LEAVING ME DOWN TO HOLD DOWN THE FORT. I DON'T
KNOW. - BUT I'VE BEEN LONGING TO GO ON
OPENING DAY, BECAUSE IT'S WARM. - YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT- YOU DON'T WANT MATT TO DRAG
YOU UP THERE IN DECEMBER. - HE DRAGGED ME LAST YEAR, AND
I TOLD HIM I RETIRED FROM COLD GAMES. SO ANYWAY. BUT
Y'ALL DOING GOOD? EVERYBODY EXCITED? YES. I KNOW SOMETHING
HAPPENED. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WE'RE IN A SHIP CHANGE? YES. AND
SO I WANT TO REMIND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THIS LAST
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, I REALLY HAD A MANIFESTATION OF A SHIFT CHANGE.
I GOT MY REMOTE BACK FOR FOOTBALL. (AUDIENCE WOOING)
- ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU KNOW, I GOT TO HAVE A COMEBACK.
- NO, I'M TRYING TO GO SPIRITUAL NOW.
MY COMEBACK IS: YEAH, AND YOU ALSO GOT ALL OF YOUR, BRENDA'S
COOKING GAME FOOD BACK. SO YOU GOT A DOUBLE BLESSING.
- I'M BLESSED, I'M BLESSED, OKAY.
- DECORATING'S MOVED TO THE OTHER ROOM.
- IT HAS. - IT'S ALL GOOD. I DON'T MIND.
- SHE MADE SOME MEAN GAME FOOD, SO THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.
- WELL, LISTEN, ON A SERIOUS NOTE, I'VE GOT A GREAT WORD.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A SHIFT CHANGE. LAST WEEK, I TALKED
ABOUT THE NATION A LITTLE BIT, AND TODAY, GOD KINDA CHANGED MY
MESSAGE, STILL ON THE SAME THEME OF A SHIFT CHANGE. AND I GOT TO
LOOKING AT WHEN ISRAEL KEPT WANDERING AROUND THE MOUNTAIN,
AND THE HOLY ONE BEGAN TO SPEAK TO MY HEART, AND HE SPOKE THESE
WORDS TO ME, SAID, "MANY TODAY, HANK, ARE IN A SEASON, "AND
THEY'VE BEEN IN A SEASON OF WANDERING, "AND I WANNA BREAK
THAT CYCLE." ISN'T THAT POWERFUL? SO WE'RE GONNA TALK
ABOUT THAT. WE WANNA AVOID THE SPIRIT OF THE WANDERER. WE WANNA
SEE SOME REAL RESETS BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GONNA TALK ABOUT TODAY. - WELL, I'M EXCITED. WELL, ALL
RIGHT, YOU CAME ON A RAINY MORNING. THAT MEANS IT'S NOT A
SLEEPY MORNING. THAT MEANS YOU HAD SOME DETERMINATION
TO GET OUT OF BED, DRIVE IN THE RAIN, BE
HERE. SO I THINK WE OUGHT TO MAKE IT A
GREAT SERVICE. HOW ABOUT YOU? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT? ARE YOU
EXCITED FOR THAT? ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S PUMP THE ENERGY AND
SAY, LORD JESUS, WE'RE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD ALMIGHTY. WE'RE
IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. THAT MEANS GOOD THINGS ARE ABOUT TO
HAPPEN. I'M GOING TO GROW TODAY. I'M GOING TO BE TOUCHED TODAY.
YOUR SPIRIT IS GOING TO FALL ON MY LIFE. HOLY SPIRIT, INVADE
THIS ROOM. NOW, IF YOU'RE EXCITED AND YOU BELIEVE EVERY
WORD OF THAT, LET'S PRAISE THE LORD IN JESUS' NAME.
(CONGREGATION CHEERING)
- COME ON, CHURCH. WE NEED SOME PRAISE IN THIS BUILDING THIS
MORNING. WE HAVE AN AMAZING GOD. WE NEED TO TESTIFY OF WHAT HIS
GOODNESS IS IN OUR LIVES. AMEN. COME ON.

- LORD, WE ARE CRYING OUT FOR YOUR PRESENCE. WE ARE CRYING
OUT FOR YOUR RAIN, YOUR PRESENCE. THAT GOD, YOU WOULD
MOVE AND WALK AMONG US. OH LORD, LET YOUR PRESENCE. FOR YOU
SAID YOU'D NEVER LEAVE US, YOU'D NEVER FORSAKE US. AND SO LORD,
WE HONOR THE GOODNESS OF YOU, THE ALMIGHTY GOD. WE HONOR OUR
COVENANT, SEALED AND RATIFIED THROUGH AND BY YESHUA'S BLOOD.
OH GOD, YOUR PRESENCE IS LIKE RAIN. LORD, LET THERE BE
HEAVENLY RAINS AND FRUITFUL SEASONS. FILL THE PEOPLE'S
HEARTS WITH JOY, OH GOD, AND WITH GLADNESS. AND I ASK YOU
TODAY AS YOU WALK AMONG THE PEOPLE, LORD, THAT YOU WOULD
DESTROY YOKES, UNDO HEAVY BURDENS, HEAL BODIES. LORD,
TOUCH PEOPLE TODAY, I ASK. LORD, I ASK YOU AND THOSE THAT ARE
WATCHING TODAY THAT THE MANIFEST PRESENCE OF YOU, THE ALMIGHTY
GOD, WOULD GO THROUGH THOSE CAMERAS, RIGHT INTO WHERE THEIR
ROOMS ARE, WHERE THEY'RE WATCHING. THAT, LORD, THEY WILL
FEEL YOUR PRESENCE THAT WILL TOUCH THEM AFRESH, STRENGTHENING
THOSE THAT ARE WEARY. LORD, THOSE THAT NEED A TOUCH FROM
YOU, I'M ASKING YOU TODAY, NOT OF OUR MIGHT, NOT OF OUR POWER,
BUT GOD, IT'S BY YOUR SPIRIT. AND I'M ASKING YOU TO TOUCH THE
PEOPLE. I'M ASKING YOU, GOD, TO MINISTER AMONG THE PEOPLE,
WHETHER THEY'RE WATCHING TODAY, WHETHER THEY'RE IN THIS ROOM.
YOU KNOW THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE, AND YOU ARE THE SPIRIT
OF THE LIVING GOD. AND SO, LORD, TODAY WE WORK WITH YOU SO THAT
GOD, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR WAY IN THE PEOPLE'S LIVES. THANK YOU. I
HEAR THE SOUND OF A HEARTBEAT AS I'M STANDING HERE, AND THERE HAS
BEEN SOMETHING WITH THE RHYTHMIC, LIKE THE HEART, WHAT'S
THE WORD, AND GOD, I JUST HEAR IT GOING, (CLICKING) AND IT'S
BEEN OFF BEAT, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS TOUCHING SOMEONE'S HEART.
IS THAT YOU? LORD GOD, SEE, USUALLY IT'S RIGHT IN THE AREA
THAT GOD IDENTIFIES. IN THE NAME OF YESHUA, COULD YOU PUT YOUR
HAND RIGHT THERE, IN THE NAME OF GOD, IN OUR HEART. HEART BEAT,
SHMAHA, LINE UP IN YESHUA'S NAME. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
RIGHT IN THIS AREA, I SEE LIKE A PIECE OF PAPER AND SOMEBODY IS
READY TO, YOU'RE CONTEMPLATING ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT OF
SOME SORT. AND YOU'RE LIKE, SHOULD I DO IT? SHOULD I SIGN
IT? AND I FEEL LIKE THE LORD IS SAYING, JUST WAIT, JUST WAIT.
DON'T BE IN A HURRY WITH IT. DON'T PUT YOUR SIGNATURE ON IT.
AND I'M TELLING THIS RIGHT IN THIS AREA, I CAN FEEL IT. WHO IS
THAT? WHO IS THAT? THERE'S LIKE A, IT'S LIKE A PIECE OF PAPER, I
CAN SEE IT. IT'S LIKE AN AGREEMENT. AND THEY'RE ASKING
FOR YOUR SIGNATURE AND YOU'RE LIKE, MAN, I'M NOT SURE I SHOULD
DO IT. WHERE IS THAT? RIGHT IN THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE. WHO IS
THAT? RAISE YOUR HAND. JUST KEEP IT UP. LET ME SEE IT. I SENSE
IT'S IN THIS AREA HERE. IS THAT YOU ALSO? IT IS? OKAY, WELL,
IT'S NOT THAT FAR AWAY. I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT A NO. IT'S
JUST, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE
TWEAKED. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE MORE OF WHAT IS
BEST FOR YOU. AND SO I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING, I DON'T
KNOW IF IT'S TERMS, IF IT'S THE LENGTH OF IT, BUT THERE'S A
TWEAKING AND I SPEAK IT NOW THAT IT COMES INTO DIVINE ALIGNMENT
AND TIMING NOW IN YESHUA'S NAME. THANK YOU, LORD. WATCH OVER IT,
WATCH OVER IT, WATCH OVER IT. I JUST SAW JAKE, THE BASS GUY,
WHERE'S HE AT? I JUST SAW YOU AS I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
DECISION. STAND UP FOR A MINUTE. I SEE THE HANDS OF THE LORD, AND
THEY'RE ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU, AND YOU'RE ON A PATH THAT YOU
AND EVEN YOUR FAMILY, AND I FEEL LIKE THIS PATH IS VERY
RESTRICTIVE. IN OTHER WORDS, GOD IS NOT GOING TO LET YOU GET OFF
OF THE PATH THAT IS GOING TO LEAD TO HIS PERFECT WILL, TO THE
NEXT PHASE, THE NEXT CHAPTER OF WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU AND FOR
YOUR FAMILY. AND THE REASON HIS HANDS ARE ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU,
THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT, BECAUSE THIS PATH IS SO RESTRICTIVE,
BECAUSE IT'S BY A DIVINE PURPOSE, THAT HE'S NOT GONNA LET
YOU GET OFF TO THE LEFT, HE'S NOT GONNA LET YOU GET OFF TO THE
RIGHT, YOU'RE NOT GONNA MISS IT. AND THEN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
YOU START BACKING UP, YOU START LOOKING BEHIND YOU, AND GOD IS
MOVING YOU AND PUSHING YOU. AND HE'S NOT GONNA LET YOU BE
STAGNANT. AND I SEE HIS GENTLE HAND LEADING YOU FORWARD. AND
YOU'RE JUST SUPPOSED TO WALK IT OUT. AND EVERYTHING IS GOING TO
BEGIN TO BE ALIGNED. AND THERE'S AN ACCELERATION THAT WILL COME
SO SUDDENLY THAT WHEN YOU STEP INTO IT, GOD'S HANDS THAT ARE ON
THE SIDE AND EVEN BEHIND YOU AND IS LEADING YOU IS GONNA OPEN UP
AND IT'S GONNA NOW, GOD'S HANDS GONNA POUR OUT UPON YOU. AND
YOU'RE GONNA COME INTO SOME OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS THAT YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE EVER RECEIVED BECAUSE OF YOUR
OBEDIENCE. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) THANK YOU, LORD.
THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. SOMEONE'S
THYROID IN THIS AREA RIGHT NOW IS GIVING YOU FITS. IT'S LIKE,
THEY EVEN SAID LIKE AN ANGRY THYROID. AND IT'S LIKE RIGHT
OVER HERE, WHO IS THAT? AS I'M WALKING, I CAN FEEL IT. WHO IS
THAT WITH THE THYROID? IT'S RIGHT IN THIS AREA HERE. I FEEL
IT. IT'S RIGHT IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE. WHO IS THAT WITH THE
THYROID? IS IT OVER HERE, RIGHT IN THE SAME SECTION? OKAY, MY
HAND'S PULLING YOU THERE. I FEEL THE ANOINTING, SO THAT MUST BE
YOU. BUT IS THERE SOMEBODY ELSE ON THIS SIDE? WHERE, IN THIS
SECTION? THERE'S SOMEBODY IN THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE, YOU?
OKAY, I KNEW IT. I COULD FEEL IT OVER ON THIS SIDE, BUT I'M BEING
PULLED TO YOU, SO JUST A MINUTE. YOU SAY, "WELL, WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN?" LISTEN, JESUS FELT WHEN VIRTUE WENT OUT OF HIM IN MARK
CHAPTER 4. THAT'S POWER. IT'S THE ANOINTING. AND HE COULD FEEL
WHEN IT LEFT HIM. THAT'S HOW GOD WILL SOMETIMES GUIDE YOU, IS YOU
HAVE TO STAY SENSITIVE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, BUT YOU HAVE TO
STAY SENSITIVE WHEN YOU FEEL THAT POWER AND THAT PRESENCE ON
YOU, BECAUSE IT WILL HELP TO MOVE YOU IN CERTAIN DIRECTIONS.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN AROUND PEOPLE. AND I'M LIKE, LORD,
SHOULD I BE WITH THIS PERSON? SHOULD I SPEND TIME WITH THEM?
SHOULD I, IS THIS SOMEONE I SHOULD CONNECT WITH? AND IF I
DON'T, IF I FEEL THAT PULL, THEN I USUALLY DO IT. OTHERWISE, I
JUST BACK OFF OF IT. WELL, PASTOR HANK, DO YOU MAKE PEOPLE
MAD? YEAH, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO BE ALIGNED WITH SOMETHING I
SHOULDN'T. SO I WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE YOUR THYROID
IS. AND I'M TELLING YOU, THERE IS SOMETHING, AND THERE'S
SOMETHING GENETICALLY THAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR BODY. LORD, I
CANCEL AND I BREAK ANY GENERATIONAL ASSIGNMENTS,
INFIRMITY, ANYTHING BY WAY OF GENETICS. I SPEAK A DIVINE RESET
NOW IN THE NAME OF YESHUA. I RELEASE IT. (SPEAKING IN
TONGUES) IN YESHUA'S NAME. BE BLESSED. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK
YOU, LORD. THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING GOD IS RESETTING. LORD,
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, GOD.
YOU KNOW, IT'S SO, THIS IS FUNNY, BUT THE NUMBERS ARE GONNA
REFLECT, LIKE THE BOOK OF NUMBERS. YOU KNOW, THE BOOK OF
NUMBERS TALKS ABOUT THE PROMISED LAND. THE NUMBERS REGARDING THIS
AND OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY AND YOUR
HEALTH ARE GONNA START REFLECTING THE PROMISED LAND AND
NOT THE CURSE. YOU'RE GONNA SEE IT. THAT'S PART OF THE SIGN THAT
GOD'S GONNA GIVE YOU. AND AS MY HAND IS HOLDING YOU RIGHT NOW,
GOD SAYS, "SEE THE GRAPES. DON'T REHEARSE THE GIANTS. DON'T
REHEARSE THE YEARS, THE MONTHS THAT YOU'VE HAD TO WALK THROUGH
WHAT HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE AND FRUSTRATION. THAT'S WHY GOD SENT
HIS SERVANT TO YOU TODAY. BE BLESSED, BE HEALED, BE MADE
WHOLE IN YESHUA'S NAME. THANK YOU, LORD. THERE IS SOMEBODY,
I'M COMING TO YOU, I JUST, THERE'S SOMETHING RIGHT UP HERE
WHERE THERE IS SOMEBODY, AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A BABY, WITH A
MEDICAL CONDITION OR SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE BELIEVING FOR,
YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR. I SEE IT LIKE A LITTLE BABY, I
WOULDN'T SAY A TODDLER, THAT NEEDS A TOUCH FROM GOD, AND
YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING AND INTERCEDING FOR THIS BABY. WHO
IS IT IN THIS AREA THAT THERE IS, I'M SERIOUS, THERE'S A BABY.
IS THAT YOU? I'M COMING OVER THERE. I'M COMING TO YOU. I WILL
FOR A GELATO COUPON. I'M JUST TEASING, I'LL COME THERE. IS IT
LIKE A LITTLE GIRL? IS IT A LITTLE GIRL? IT'S A LITTLE
PUPPY? NO, I BELIEVE IT'S AN ACTUAL LITTLE GIRL. IS THAT YOU?
WELL, I'LL PRAY FOR YOUR PUPPY. MAN, I TOOK MY DOG IN, MY ONE
GERMAN SHEPHERD, AND THEY SAID, "WHAT IS UP WITH THIS DOG?" THIS
IS BECAUSE THEY'RE PUREBRED. THEY SAID, "HE'S LIKE, MAN, LIKE
HALF HIS AGE." I'M LIKE, "YEAH, THAT'S MY DOG." HE'S ALMOST A
100-POUND GERMAN SHEPHERD. HE'S A GOOD DOG. HE'S A GREAT DOG. I
OUGHT TO BRING HIM. BUT THEN SOMEBODY WILL WRITE AND SAY,
"DON'T BRING YOUR DOG TO THE TABERNACLE." BUT I HAVE THREE
GERMAN SHEPHERDS, SO THAT MIGHT BE TOO MUCH. BUT IT MIGHT WORK
FOR A PLAY. IT MIGHT DO THAT, YOU KNOW. LORD, IN YESHUA'S
NAME, WHATEVER IT IS, LISTEN, EVEN THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD ARE
BLESSED UNDER THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT, SEALED AND RATIFIED
THROUGH AND BY YESHUA'S BLOOD. SO LORD, WORK IT OUT. WORK IT
OUT IN YESHUA'S NAME. WHERE'S THAT ONE? YOU, IT'S RIGHT BEHIND
YOU. OKAY. FATHER IN (SPEAKING IN TONGUES) AS
I TOUCH THIS ONE, IT GOES TOWARDS THE CHILD. AS JAIRUS'S
DAUGHTER WAS RAISED UP, YESHUA, YOU'RE COMING TO HER HOUSE.
YOU'RE COMING TO HER BEDSIDE. YOU'RE COMING TO THE PLACE OF
AFFLICTION. SHE LIVES. I SPEAK LIFE. I SPEAK WHOLENESS AND I
COMMAND THIS THING TO SHIFT AND CHANGE NOW IN YESHUA'S NAME.
THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. SOMEBODY IS IN THIS
SECTION RIGHT OVER IN HERE. THERE'S SOMETHING WITH YOUR
LUNGS. AND I KEPT HEARING THE WORD LIKE A BRONCHITIS THAT
KEEPS TRYING TO ATTACK YOU OR IT'S ATTACKED YOU. SOMETHING
WITH THE BRONCHIAL TUBES, BRONCHITIS, AND IT'S RIGHT UP IN
THIS UPPER SECTION. WHO IS THAT? RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY. YOU GOT
TO BE QUICK. PUT YOUR HAND RIGHT THERE. SOMEBODY ELSE ALSO THAT
IT'S PHYSICALLY YOU. IS THAT YOU? IS THAT YOU RIGHT OVER
THERE THAT SOMEBODY RAISED THEIR HAND AND THEN YOU PUT IT DOWN?
IS THAT SOMEBODY OVER HERE? WHO IS IT WITH THE BRONCHIAL TUBES?
THERE'S BEEN STRUGGLE BREATHING AND COUGHING. IT'S IN THIS UPPER
SECTION HERE. I CAN FEEL IT. IN YESHUA'S NAME, LORD, THEY'RE
STANDING IN THE GAP FOR SOMEONE. FOR YOUR DAUGHTER, I SPEAK IT.
WE COMMAND THAT TO COME OUT. WE LOOSE THE HEALING POWER OF GOD.
NOW, NOW, IN YESHUA'S NAME, NO MORE. IN JESUS' NAME. IT'S
ACTUALLY OVER ON THE FARTHER SECTION, THE PERSON WITH THE
BRONCHITIS, AND YOU'RE A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT RAISING YOUR HAND.
YEAH, THE LORD SAID IT'S FARTHER OVER. WHERE ARE YOU? THERE'S
SOMEBODY OVER THERE. ALL RIGHT. HE SAID BEFORE THAT, WHERE'S THE
OTHER PERSON? HE SAID, TAKE CARE OF THIS. I'LL GO OVER TO THAT
OTHER PERSON. AND JUST OVER THERE, OVER THERE. HEY, YOU
READY TO GO TO GREEN BAY WITH ME, MAN? SO THIS GUY'S GOING TO
GREEN BAY WITH ME, MAN. SO WHERE'S THE CAMERA? WHERE'S THE
CAMERA? WHERE AM I BEING? I WANNA, WHERE'S THE ROAMING
CAMERA? SO I WANNA INVITE THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE IN THE GREEN BAY
AREA, COME, COME. WE'RE GONNA GO WITH MATTHEW AND EVERYTHING.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME. AND YOU KNOW, I USUALLY, YOU
KNOW, WHENEVER I GO OUT TO EAT, I ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, MISTAKENLY
LEAVE MY WALLET BEHIND. SO JUST MAKE SURE, OFFICER, JUST MAKE
SURE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME. IT'S GONNA BE GREAT. ALL
RIGHT, AND YOU OWE ME SOME CHEESE CURDS TOO, YOU KNOW, SO
WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME. PASTOR, HOW CAN YOU BE JOKING? BECAUSE I
KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT, I'VE BEEN MINISTERING WITH HIM FOR 40
YEARS. WHAT'S UP? YOU ALL RIGHT? SOME BREATHING? CAN I PRAY FOR
YOU, MAN? MAN, YOU HAVE GOT SUCH AN AMAZING COMPASSION. I'M
SERIOUS. THE MINUTE I TOUCHED YOU, YOU HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING
COMPASSION WHERE YOU ARE SO GENEROUS, YOU ARE SO KIND, YOU
ARE SO GOOD, YOU ARE SO BENEVOLENT. NOW, I WANT YOU TO
SIT DOWN FOR A MINUTE IF YOU DON'T MIND BECAUSE I'M GOING TO
PRAY FOR YOU. I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR
YOU, BUT THE REASON WHY GOD WANTS TO POINT OUT YOUR
COMPASSION IS BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HEALED THE
SICK WAS JESUS WHEN HE WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION, SAID HE HEALED
THE SICK. AND GOD WANTS TO JUST PAY BACK FOR ALL THE YEARS. AND
THERE'S PEOPLE THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF YOU IN ALL OF THE
COMPASSION THAT YOU HAVE AND THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART. YOU'RE
VERY KIND. YOU'RE A VERY, VERY KIND PERSON. GOD LIKES THAT
ABOUT YOU. AND GOD SAID THIS, "WILL YOU BELIEVE FOR
SOMETHING?" HE WANTS TO LENGTHEN YOUR DAYS AND GIVE YOU A LONGER
LIFE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT MORE TO DO. EXACTLY. AND SO LORD, I
JUST RELEASE THE HEALING POWER OF GOD, THE COMPASSION OF THE
HOLY ONE HIMSELF TO YOU AND FOR YOU. RECEIVE IT. LET EVERY YOKE
BE DESTROYED. LET THIS BURDEN BE REMOVED. AND LET THE HEALING
POWER OF GOD, NOW JUST TAKE SOME DEEP BREATHS AS THE SPIRIT OF
GOD IS THE RUACH, HE IS THE BREATH OF GOD. LORD, RESET THIS.
LET THERE BE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE AND A COMPLETE TOUCH
AND HEALING IN YESHUA'S NAME. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU,
LORD. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS, BUT
THERE'S, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOMEBODY, A COUPLE OF PEOPLE
AROUND YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE RELATIVES OR WHATEVER,
ARGUING, AND THE LORD SAID, "YOU'RE GONNA SEE TWO THAT HAS
BEEN BUTTON HEADS SETTLE THE THING, AND A STRANGE PEACE IS
GONNA COME, AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT GOD IS GONNA DO THIS." ALL
RIGHT. ARE YOU READY? WE WAITED A LONG TIME, DIDN'T WE? AND I
DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR A GELATO COUPON. I ASKED IT FROM THEM,
BUT... ARE YOU REAL? I LOVE GELATO I KNOW, IT'S CRAZY, ISN'T
IT? ALL RIGHT, YOU READY? WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR? WOULD YOU
JUST PUT YOUR HAND RIGHT THERE? IN THE NAME OF YESHUA, I RELEASE
THE ANOINTING. AND I COMMAND THAT TO LINE UP, TO BE SET IN
ORDER. IN YESHUA'S NAME, LET HEALING AND WHOLENESS COME TO
THEIR HOUSE. FOR LORD, THEY HONOR YOU. AND THEY SAID, AS FOR
ME AND MY HOUSE, WE SERVE THE LORD, AND THEY DO. NOW, GOD, I
PRAY, MAY THEIR HOUSE BE FLOODED WITH THE HEALING VIRTUE OF GOD
HIMSELF. STRENGTHEN THEM, HEAL THEM. FATHER, REJUVENATE THEM.
FATHER, IN YESHUA'S NAME, LET THERE COME A RENEWED YOUTH.
HALLELUJAH. IT'S PART OF THEIR COVENANT RIGHT, WHERE YOU RENEW
THEIR YOUTH LIKE THE EAGLE. AND I SPEAK THAT NOW IN JESUS' NAME,
IN JESUS' NAME. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT WHEN YOU HAD
YOUR HAND UP THERE, I DON'T KNOW, I JUST SEE YOU LIKE
WRITING CHRISTMAS CARDS AND BEING BUSY ABOUT LITTLE
CHRISTMAS CARDS AND THINGS. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT YOU EVER DO. YOU DO? OKAY, GOD SAID THIS YEAR THOUGH,
THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN, THERE'S SOME TROUBLE WITH
SOME PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW. AND YOU'RE ALMOST LIKE, "WELL, I
DON'T KNOW IF I WANNA SEND A CARD." BUT YEAH, ANOINT IT. AND
WATCH. I SEE THREE SPECIFIC, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE FAMILIES
OR INDIVIDUAL, THAT YOU'RE GONNA SPECIFICALLY PRAY OVER THEIR
CHRISTMAS CARD. YOU'RE GONNA SEE A DIVINE SHIFT WITH THEM. IT'S
GONNA BE MIRACULOUS. AND COME BACK AND TESTIFY, OKAY? THANK
YOU. ALL RIGHT, WHERE'S THAT OTHER PERSON THAT HAD THE...
MAN, YOU BETTER RAISE YOUR HAND 'CAUSE I JUST SAW SOMETHING OF
GOD COMING INTO YOUR HAND BY WAY OF A FINANCIAL THING. SO LORD,
LET IT HAPPEN. THANK YOU, LORD. BE BLESSED. THANK YOU, GOD. BE
BLESSED. MAN, YOU'RE WAY UP THERE. THIS IS GONNA COST YOU A
GELATO COUPON. WHAT'S THAT? WHERE ARE THEY AT? YOU CAME ALL
THE WAY DOWN? WHERE? WELL, HELLO, THANKS FOR MAKING ME NOT
GO ALL THE WAY UP THERE, BUT I DON'T MIND. HOW ARE YOU? YOU'RE
DOING GOOD TODAY. THANKS FOR COMING. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO.
BRENDA. [SPEAKING IN TONGUES] - FOR IT HAS SEEMED AS THOUGH
MANY TIMES SOME OF THE DOORS THAT YOU HAVE SOUGHT TO GO
THROUGH HAVE BEEN CLOSED. BUT THE LORD SAYS, "I'M GOING TO
OPEN SOME DOORS." IT'S NOT THE SEASON OF THE CLOSED DOOR, IT'S
THE SEASON OF THAT WHICH IS OPEN. AND I WILL UNLOCK THINGS.
AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU'VE TRIED TO DO ON YOUR OWN POWER
AND IN THE FLESH, BUT THE LORD SAYS, "I'LL DO IT MIRACULOUSLY
AND SUPERNATURALLY." AND THERE ARE SOME DREAMS AND THINGS THAT
YOU HAVE BELIEVED ME FOR THAT YOU'VE ALLOWED TO GO DORMANT,
BUT THE LORD SAYS, "WATCH AND SEE." AND I WILL DO THOSE THINGS
IF YOU'LL BELIEVE ME, SAYS THE LORD. AND NOTHING IS TOO HARD
FOR ME, AND THE THINGS YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR ARE NOT TOO
DIFFICULT. I WILL DO IT, SAYS THE LORD. AND YOU'LL KNOW IT AS
YOUR BODY BEGINS TO RECEIVE REJUVENATION AND REFRESHING IN
STRENGTH. WATCH ME OPEN THE DOORS THAT NO MAN CAN SHUT, SAYS
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD. - AMEN, WE SPEAK LIFE AND
WHOLENESS IN THE BREATH OF GOD INTO THOSE LUNGS. TAKE A
DEEP BREATH. THANK YOU, LORD. AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. PRAISE GOD.
HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE GOD? YOU LOVE GOD, YOU LOVE GOD, YOU LOVE
GOD, YOU LOVE GOD, BE BLESSED. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S GIVE
JESUS A PRAISE. I WANNA PRAY REAL QUICK FOR THOSE THAT ARE
WATCHING REAL QUICK. - I WANNA DO ONE THING IF YOU
DON'T MIND. I WAS OVER HERE AND AS
YOU WERE WALKING AND PRAYING AND MINISTERING, IT WAS LIKE I
HEARD YOU PROPHESY WHEN YOU PROPHESY RESET AND I LOOKED OVER
ARLIE AND I SAW YOU AND I FEEL LIKE THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID TO
TELL YOU THESE WORDS THAT THE LORD SAYS THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE
BEEN THROUGH IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HAVE BEEN SO HARD AND SO
DIFFICULT BUT THE LORD SAYS THAT I AM GOING TO BRING A REFRESHING
TO YOUR SOUL AND AND IT'S ALREADY IN PROCESS THE LORD SAYS
THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE WORKING THAT YOU HAVE A YOU HAVE
WORKED TO NAVIGATE THROUGH BUT THE LORD SAYS I AM THE REFRESHER
OF HEARTS AND I'M BRINGING THIS RESET EVEN THAT WHICH IS GOING
ON WITH THE NATION YOU'VE SAID LORD WHAT ABOUT MY RESET WHAT
ABOUT ME AND THE LORD IS SAYING I'M RESETTING BUT I'M GONNA
REFRESH YOUR SOUL FOR EVEN AS THE WORD SAYS IT SAYS THAT THERE
ARE TIMES OF REFRESHING SEASONS OF REFRESHING THAT DON'T COME BY
MAN'S POWER BUT THEY COME FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD AND THE
WORD SAYS THAT IT FOLLOWS IT UP WITH FOOD OR JOY FEEDING FROM
HEAVEN JOY AND GLADNESS SO THE LORD SAYS I'M GONNA WIPE SOME
THINGS AND REFRESH YOU EVEN THINGS THAT YOU HAVE THOUGHT
LORD I'LL NEVER FEEL DIFFERENT BUT THE LORD SAYS EVEN THOSE
THINGS THAT WILL COME TO YOUR FEELING WHERE YOU WILL FEEL LIKE
A DIFFERENT MAN IT'S LIKE THE LORD SAYS I'M GOING TO TRANSFORM
YOU INTO A WHOLE NEW PERSON SO RECEIVE THE REFRESHING SAYS THE
LORD RECEIVE THAT RESET FROM THE SPIRIT AND THE LORD SAYS YOU YOU
CAN COME TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED YOU KNOW THAT SAYS
THE LORD I AM I AM GOD I AM THE LORD AND I WILL RESET AND I WILL
REFRESH SO RECEIVE IT RIGHT NOW AND I JUST THANK YOU LORD
STRENGTHEN THIS MAN BY YOUR SPIRIT AND LET THIS NEW SEASON
THAT YOU HAVE FOR HIM BREAK FORTH AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT IN
JESUS NAME AND GOD'S GONNA MAKE YOUR BUSINESS HIS BUSINESS AND
THAT'S GONNA BE ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
SEE RESET IS I JUST SEE AN ACCELERATION AND REVENUE IS
GONNA START POURING AT A RATE YOU'VE NOT SEEN BEFORE. FATHER
WE PRAY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING WHATEVER THEIR
NEED IS. I WANT ALL OF YOU JUST TO TURN AROUND AND THOSE OF YOU
THAT ARE UP THERE IN THE UPPER SECTION JUST POINT YOUR HANDS
TOWARDS THAT CAMERA. FATHER WE PRAY AND WE INTERCEDE FOR EVERY
PERSON, OUR WONDERFUL FRIENDS, E-MEMBERS, PARTNERS, AND FATHER
WE'RE ASKING YOU RIGHT NOW TO INVADE THEIR LIVES. FATHER WE
PRAY FOR RESET CONCERNING THEM. WE SPEAK SHIFT AND CHANGES,
GREAT CHANGES, SWIFT CHANGES, ACCELERATION. WE BREAK THE
POWERS OF DARKNESS AND ANYTHING THAT WOULD COME TO STEAL, KILL,
AND DESTROY. WE CALL ON THE FIRE OF GOD TO STOP IT, TO ABORT IT,
AND REALIGN AND RESET THEM AND LET THE SPIRIT OF GOD NOW I
PRAY, SHOW MERCY AND GRACE AND GIVE THEM HELP IN THE TIME OF
THE NEED, ANY NEED, BECAUSE THAT IS THE RIGHTS, IT'S THE
PRIVILEGE OF OUR COVENANT OF BLOOD SEALED AND RATIFIED BY
YESHUA HIMSELF. LORD, I THANK YOU FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
WATCHING. YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE IS A GRANDMA WATCHING. I MEAN,
YOU'RE A GRANDMA, THEY CALL YOU A GRANNY. I MEAN, I GUESS THAT'S
WHAT YOU WOULD CALL THEM. BUT YOU ARE IN A CHAIR THAT ROCKS.
GOD JUST TOUCHED YOU AND I WANT YOU TO TESTIFY. SOMETHING THAT
HAS RESTRICTED THE MOVEMENTS OF YOUR LEGS, YOUR HIPS, YOUR BODY.
GET UP AND START WALKING AROUND BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE
GONNA SAY? YOU'RE OFF YOUR ROCKER. WOW, THAT'S CRAZY. I
LOVE THE HOLY ONE, HE'S GOT SUCH A SENSE OF HUMOR, BUT DO IT, AND
IF YOU CAN, JUST ONCE YOU START WALKING AROUND, I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'RE SOCIAL MEDIA SAVVY, BUT WRITE IN THE COMMENTS AND WE'LL
LET PEOPLE KNOW AND REJOICE WITH YOU WHAT GOD HAS DONE. ALL
RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GLAD YOU CAME TO THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD? ALL RIGHT, SO I WANT YOU TO SAY, I BET I KNOW WHAT PASTOR
HANK AND MATT'S FAVORITE FOOTBALL TEAM IS. SEE IF YOU CAN
ANSWER THAT QUESTION. INTRODUCE YOURSELF, AND KNOW IT ISN'T THE
LITTLE D DOWN SOUTH IN TEXAS. (LAUGHS) (UPBEAT MUSIC)

IT'S JUST GONNA BE A WONDERFUL TIME. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE JUST
GATHERING IN A ROOM AND WE JUST GET TO SATURATE. WHAT'S THE WORD
THEY USE NOW? MARINATE. BUT WE'RE NOT JUST GONNA MARINATE,
WE'RE GONNA GIVE OUT AND PRAY FOR EACH OTHER AND MINISTER. I
THINK IT'S JUST GONNA BE AWESOME. BUT TIME'S RUNNING OUT,
SO YOU NEED TO GET OUT THERE. I MEAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S LIKE
OTH WEEK NEXT WEEK. I MEAN, NEXT WEEK, COME ON SOMEBODY.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) I'M PUMPED, I'M WORKING ON MY
SERMON. I'M EXCITED FOR IT, I DON'T KNOW. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
THIS, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, I SIT ON THE FRONT ROW,
I'M ALWAYS TAKING NOTES WITH PASTOR'S MESSAGES, AND THEN
SOMETIMES HE'LL SAY SOMETHING, AND I CAN DRAW OUT A SKELETAL
OUTLINE OF SOMETHING I'M GONNA PREACH. I'M LIKE, THAT'S GOOD,
I'M GONNA MAKE A SERMON OUT OF THAT. SO, IT'S ALL GOOD, AMEN.
SO, SUCH GOOD THINGS HAPPENING. WELL, I WANNA GET RIGHT INTO
TODAY'S OFFERING SO PASTOR CAN GET UP HERE AND PREACH THE WORD
ABOUT SHIFT CHANGE. BUT LET ME JUST SHOW YOU THIS. THIS IS FROM
JEREMIAH. I WAS READING THIS IN MY DEVOTIONS EARLIER IN THE
WEEK. AND JEREMIAH 33:1-3 THIS IS JUST A GOOD SCRIPTURE,
YOU PROBABLY KNOW IT. PEOPLE SAY JEREMIAH 33:3
IS GOD'S PHONE NUMBER. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT? IT'S
GOD'S PHONE NUMBER, CALL HIM UP. I THINK IT WAS RON CANOLA USED
TO SING THAT, WASN'T IT HIM? HE SAID, CALL HIM UP. IF YOU NEED
SOMETHING, CALL UP THE LORD. BUT WE DON'T OFTEN READ VERSE ONE,
AND I THINK THIS HAS TO DO WITH OUR OFFERINGS AND OUR GIVING. IT
SAYS, "MOREOVER, THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO JEREMIAH "THE
SECOND TIME." YOU KNOW, GOD'S ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. I
LOVE WHAT PASTOR HANK ALWAYS SAYS. HE SAYS, "GOD'S A CHATTY
GOD." HE HAS STUFF TO TALK ABOUT. IF WE'RE JUST LISTENING,
RIGHT? IF WE'RE TUNING IN AND HEARING HIS VOICE. WE SAID, "THE
LORD SPOKE TO HIM THE SECOND TIME." WATCH THIS, HERE'S WHAT I
WANT YOU TO SEE. WHILE HE WAS YET SHUT UP IN THE COURT OF THE
PRISON, HE WAS STILL IN THIS PLACE OF CAPTIVITY. AND YOU
KNOW, THIS SHOWS ME, I COULD GO A LOT OF WAYS WITH THIS, BUT IT
SHOWS ME, FIRST OF ALL, THAT GOD WILL TALK TO YOU EVEN IF YOU'RE
IN A BATTLE. SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO TURN OUR EMOTIONS OFF, RIGHT?
THAT'S HARD TO DO. I'M WRITING A BOOK RIGHT NOW CALLED COMMANDING
PEACE. AND THAT'LL COME OUT IN THE SPRING, AND I'M FINISHING
IT. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS TO DO FOR US HUMANS
SOMETIMES IS JUST SHUT OFF OUR HEAD, 'CAUSE IT DOESN'T WANNA
SHUT UP. IT JUST WANTS TO KEEP TALKING TO YOU AND KEEPING YOU
UP AT NIGHT, AND TELLING YOU, KIND OF TRYING TO GIVE YOU THE
WORST CASE SCENARIO OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. BUT HERE, THIS IS
WHERE JEREMIAH WAS. HE WAS STILL LOCKED IN A PRISON. HE WAS STILL
IN A PLACE WHERE HE FELT CAPTIVE TO WHATEVER IT WAS THAT HE WAS
DEALING WITH. AND SO IT SAID, WHILE HE WAS YET SHUT UP IN THE
COURT OF THE PRISON, HE WAS STILL WHERE THERE WAS NOT A
BREAKTHROUGH, OR AT LEAST IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THERE WAS A
BREAKTHROUGH. IT DIDN'T APPEAR LIKE ONE. AND IT SAYS THIS, AND
THUS SAYS THE LORD, THE MAKER THEREOF, THE LORD THAT FORMED
IT. COME ON, YOU KNOW GOD MADE YOU. ISN'T IT AMAZING TO US THAT
GOD KNOWS US BETTER THAN WE DO OURSELVES? WE DON'T THINK GOD
UNDERSTANDS US, BUT HE DOES. THE LORD FORMED IT TO ESTABLISH IT.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT YOU'RE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL
PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION THAT SHOWS FORTH HIS PRAISES. GOD HAS
A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. I WAS WORKING WITH PASTOR MATT AND
ANTHONY, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE EDITS ON THEIR BOOK. THERE WAS
SO MANY GOOD THINGS YOU GUYS ARE WRITING ABOUT. YOU'LL GET IT AT
THE CONFERENCE. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY PUT IN THERE,
REPEATEDLY, IS GOD HAS ALREADY AN ESTABLISHED PLAN FOR YOU. GOD
TOLD THIS VERY PROPHET, "BEFORE YOU WERE IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB,
"I ALREADY KNEW YOU. "I KNEW YOUR PERSONALITY. I KNEW YOUR
FAULTS. I KNEW WHAT YOU WOULD FACE IN THIS LIFE. I ALREADY
KNEW AND I ALREADY HAD A PLAN ESTABLISHED FOR YOU." NOW THE
DEVIL ALSO HAS A PLAN, BUT WE CAN LEAN ON GOD'S PLANS BECAUSE
HE'S THE ONE THAT ESTABLISHES THOSE. AND GOD CAN ESTABLISH HIS
PLAN EVEN IF WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN SOME SORT OF PRISON LIKE THE
PROPHET WAS HERE. BUT THEN LOOK WHAT GOD SAYS, AND I LOVE THIS.
FOR I'LL ESTABLISH IT, FOR THE LORD IS HIS NAME. CALL UNTO ME.
HERE'S GOD'S PHONE NUMBER. JEREMIAH 33:3 IS HIS PHONE
NUMBER. CALL UNTO ME, AND I WHAT? I MIGHT ANSWER. I WON'T
ANSWER. I'M GONNA LET YOU SUFFER SOME MORE. I'M GONNA MAKE IT
JUST A LITTLE HARDER. SEE, DON'T EVER GET THE IDEA THAT WHEN YOU
GO THROUGH HARDSHIP THAT GOD IS THE ONE DOING IT TO YOU. NOW,
HE'LL LET YOU GET YOUR SEA LEGS IN THE SPIRIT. OKAY, SOMETIMES
GOD WILL LET YOU GET OUT THERE AND HAVE TO BALANCE THE WATERS.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST PART OF IT. YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW YOU
TAUGHT YOUR, COME ON, ANY PARENTS IN HERE, WHEN YOUR
LITTLE ONES WERE TRYING TO LEARN TO WALK? THE HOUSE THAT WE LIVED
IN WHEN JOHN WAS A BABY HAD THIS FIREPLACE HEARTH AT THE BOTTOM.
AND IT WAS UP, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE ONES THAT'S UP OFF THE
GROUND, AND HE'D GO TODDLING OVER TO IT. HE HAD MORE BRUISES
ON HIS FOREHEAD FROM THAT THING. I LINED IT WITH PILLOWS AND
EVERYTHING, AND HE ALWAYS FOUND IT. BUT YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T, AS
A PARENT, JUST SAY, "WELL, YOU'RE NEVER WALKING IN THIS
HOUSE. "I'M JUST GONNA PROTECT YOU FROM IT." NO, HE HAD TO
LEARN HOW TO USE HIS LEGS. GOD, YOU KNOW, HE DOESN'T BRING HARM
ON YOU, BUT HE WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE YOUR FAITH. HOW CAN WE BE IN
GOD'S IMAGE IF WE DON'T USE FAITH LIKE GOD DOES? WE HAVE TO
USE FAITH TOO. THAT'S HOW WE BECOME LIKE HIM. CAN YOU THINK
ABOUT ALL THE EVIL THAT GOD SEES IN THE WORLD? HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT? ALL OF THE BAD STORIES, ALL THE
DISAPPOINTMENTS, ALL THE TRAGEDIES, AND YOU KNOW GOD
NEVER LOSES HIS FAITH OR HIS JOY. HE'S CONSISTENT. ISN'T THAT
GOOD TO KNOW? AND SO WE HAVE TO USE FAITH TO BE LIKE HIM. HE
SAID, "NO, CALL UNTO ME, AND I," SOMEBODY SAY WILL, "I WILL
ANSWER." SO IF YOU'RE FACING SOMETHING TODAY, KNOW THAT IF
YOU CALL ON THE LORD, AND MAYBE IT'S FINANCIAL, THIS IS WHY I'M
SO COMMITTED TO TITHING, 'CAUSE I KNOW GOD WILL ANSWER. I KNOW
GOD WILL BRING A BREAKTHROUGH. IT MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE IT TODAY.
COME ON, SWEETHEART, IT MIGHT BE RAINING TODAY, BUT TOMORROW'S
GONNA BE FORECASTED SUNSHINE AND BLESSING. THERE IS ALWAYS A
BREAKTHROUGH ON THE WAY. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) AND SO
THAT'S WHY I GIVE TITHES AND I GIVE MY OFFERINGS, BECAUSE I
KNOW THAT THERE'S A BREAKTHROUGH COMING. GOD ALWAYS HAS ONE.
TODAY MIGHT LOOK LIKE THE FINANCES ARE A LITTLE BIT THIN,
BUT THEN YOU GO THE NEXT STEP AND GOD WILL, COME ON, SOMEBODY
SAY WILL, ANSWER YOU. AND HE SAID, "AND I WILL SHOW YOU GREAT
AND MIGHTY THINGS "THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT RIGHT NOW." YOU
MAY NOT UNDERSTAND A WORLD. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER BEEN IN A
SITUATION, GOD, WHAT IS GOING ON? COME ON, THIS IS CRAZY
BEANS. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING? AND GOD IS SAYING,
"NOW I'M GONNA SHOW YOU IN THE PROCESS THINGS THAT YOU DON'T
EVEN UNDERSTAND. NOW I WILL ANSWER YOU." AND THAT'S WHY I'M
ENCOURAGING, "WELL, PASTOR BRENDA, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO
DO WITH OUR MONEY?" WELL, THAT'S WHY IF YOU KNOW THIS PRINCIPLE,
THEN YOU CAN BE FAITHFUL IN YOUR TITHES AND YOUR OFFERINGS. KNOW
THAT GOD IS GONNA BRING A BLESSING TO YOU. HE WILL BRING
YOU A BREAKTHROUGH. YOU'RE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR
BLESSING. YOU KNOW, I'VE, I TOLD SOMETHING TO THE LORD, YOU KNOW,
WELL, I'VE SAID THIS TO GOD MORE THAN ONE TIME. I SAID, YOU KNOW,
GOD, I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE GOING THROUGH THIS AND KNOW THAT MY
TITHE'S NOT IN. THERE'S A PEACE THAT COMES WHEN YOU KNOW THAT
YOUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS ARE INTACT BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING
BEFORE YOU TO, COME ON, WHAT DID I SAY TO YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE YEAR? THEY'RE GOING BEFORE YOU TO REBUKE THE DEVOURER FOR
YOUR SAKE. THEY'RE GOING ON AHEAD OF YOU SO THAT THE DEVIL
CAN'T TOUCH YOU. HE CAN'T COME IN AND HE CAN'T EXACT UPON YOU.
SO I JUST SAID, GOD, I'M ALWAYS THANKFUL. WHEN I GO TO BED AT
NIGHT PEACEFUL, KNOWING, WELL, THE TIE'S IN THE GROUND.
OFFERINGS ARE IN THE GROUND. GOD, YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF THE
REST. YOU WILL MAKE A BREAKTHROUGH, EVEN THOUGH IT
MIGHT SEEM LIKE YOU'RE IN A PRISON AND YOU'RE IN A TIME OF
CHALLENGE, GOD SAID, "I WILL ANSWER YOU." HALLELUJAH.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) ISN'T THAT GOOD STUFF? THAT'S WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT GOD. SO HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW GOD'S PHONE NUMBER?
JEREMIAH 33 THREE? CALL UNTO ME. SOME OF YOU OUGHT TO JUST PUT
YOUR PHONE UP TO YOUR, THIS IS THE WAY THE OLD FASHIONED PHONES
WERE. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) YOU KNOW, NOW WE DO IT LIKE THIS.
YOU KNOW, BUT BACK IN THE DAY, WE'D PICK UP A PHONE, YOU KNOW,
JUST DO IT FOR, FOR GRINS. HOLD YOUR, HOLD IT UP. NOW I WANT YOU
TO SAY, "GOD, I CALL ON YOU. I KNOW YOUR PHONE NUMBER. YOU'RE
GOING TO SHOW ME THINGS. YOU'RE GOING TO BRING A BREAKTHROUGH.
AND I THANK YOU, LORD, THAT I CALLED THE RIGHT NUMBER. THERE'S
ALWAYS A PICKUP. I'M NEVER GONNA GET VOICEMAIL. I'M NEVER GONNA
GET OPTION ONE, TWO, OR THREE. YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA ANSWER, AND
YOU'RE GONNA BLESS ME. AMEN, AMEN. SAY, "THANK YOU, LORD."
WHOO! ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT THE OFFERING INFORMATION UP ON THE
SCREEN. AS EVERYBODY GETS THEIR GIVING READY, AND THERE'S PEACE
IN TITHING, I'M TELLING YOU. IF YOU'VE NOT BEEN A TITHER, SHIFT.
THAT'S TIME FOR A SHIFT CHANGE, BY THE WAY. THAT'S A BIG SHIFT
CHANGE TO MAKE. THERE'S A WEBSITE, ALL THE INFORMATION,
TEXT TO GIVE. ALL RIGHT, LET ME TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE ON OUR
400,000. ARE YOU READY? ALL RIGHT. WE'RE MAKING, IT'S A
BRAND NEW MONTH, SO WE'RE GONNA SHIFT CHANGE INTO THAT. BUT SO
FAR, IN OUR TOTAL GOAL, I THINK WE'RE DOING ACTUALLY PRETTY
WELL. OUR TOTAL GOAL OF HELPING SPENCER AND PAYING OFF SOME
THINGS THAT WE NEEDED FOR THIS BUILDING, WE'VE RAISED AN
ADDITIONAL ON TOP OF OUR NORMAL $175,000. WE HAVE GONE UP SOME.
SO I THINK THAT'S AWESOME. HOW MANY OF YOU THINK WE SHOULD PUT
THAT OVER 200,000 THIS WEEK? WE'RE GONNA GET IT, BUT I HAVE
OTHER GOOD NEWS. SO PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SOWED INTO, 'CAUSE I
SAID, "WELL, YOU COULD, IF YOU FELT LED, GIVE AN OFFERING INTO
THE CONFERENCE." WE'VE ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THAT RAISE, AND WE
HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE EVENT YET, WE HAVE RAISED OVER $30,000 FOR
OPENING THE HEAVENS 2025. COME ON, GIVE GOD A SHOUT! WOO! SO
LET'S KEEP GOING. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE INTO THE BUILDING, GIVE
INTO THE BUILDING FUND, LET'S PUNCH THAT UP. I THINK WE OUGHT
TO MAKE IT BEAT LAST YEAR. AND THEN IF YOU ARE NOT COMING TO
THE CONFERENCE AND YOU JUST SAY, PASTOR BRENDA, THERE IS NO WAY I
CAN GET ON A PLANE. MAYBE THERE'S PHYSICALLY YOU CAN'T DO
IT OR SOME OTHER REASON, OR YOUR BOSS JUST WOULDN'T LET YOU OFF
WORK AND YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH ONLINE. WELL, YOU CAN GIVE INTO
OPENING THE HEAVENS. THERE'S A SPOT RIGHT THERE. IT SAYS
OPENING THE HEAVENS 2025 OR PAY OFF THE TABERNACLE, EITHER ONE
OF THOSE. GUYS, YOU'VE GOT A LIVE MOVEMENT UP THERE. THAT'S
PRETTY COOL. DIDN'T THAT SWITCH ON ME OR AM I SEEING THINGS?
THAT'S IMPRESSIVE. ALL RIGHT. SO THERE IT IS. HEY, YOU'RE THERE
DOING IT TO ME AGAIN. AREN'T YOU CUTE? OKAY. SO PAY OFF THE
TABERNACLE IS OUR BUILDING FUND. AND THEN OPENING THE HEAVENS
2025, YOU COULD GIVE INTO THAT AS WELL. AND I'M REALLY PULLING
ON THOSE OF YOU ONLINE THAT WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT IN
PERSON. JUST BE PART OF THAT. IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME. OKAY,

AND RAISE UP MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT SHALL GIVE
ABUNDANTLY TO THIS WORK. WE PROPHESY THAT WE SHALL
QUADRUPLE, QUADRUPLE, AND THAT WE WILL QUADRUPLE AGAIN. WE
DECLARE NEW THINGS NOW. WE DECREE MINISTRY AND CAMPUS BE
EXPANDED NOW. COME ON, GIVE GOD A GREAT BIG SHOUT AS YOU GIVE,
AND LET'S WELCOME PASTOR HANK.
- THANK YOU, GIRLFRIEND. ALL RIGHT, I LOVE MY GIRLFRIEND. SHE
IS SO GOOD TO ME, MAN. HOW MANY OF YOU, YOU ARE SPOILED IN YOUR
MARRIAGE? I'M SPOILED, I ACKNOWLEDGE IT. NOW, BRENDA
DON'T GET A BIG HEAD. SO, ANYWAY, I'M VERY SPOILED. SHE
TAKES GREAT CARE OF ME, AND I AM SO HAPPY. BUT I ALSO
RECIPROCATE. I'M THE HONORARY USUAL DISHWASHER GUY, DOG
CLEANER, UPPER OF THE WAIST AND ALL THAT, RIGHT BRENDA? SO, HEY,
AS THE USHERS ARE SERVING YOU, I JUST WANTED TO SAY, AND THOSE OF
YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, IF YOU ARE IN THE GREEN BAY AREA, I'M
GONNA GO TO THE GAME WITH MATT, AND I JUST LIKE TO GET AWAY, GET
MY MIND OFF OF STUFF. IT'S BEEN A VERY BUSY LAST FEW YEARS, SO
I'M REALLY, REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. BUT WE'LL
PROBABLY HEAD TO THE PACROPRO SHOP AND STUFF. BUT WE HAVE SOME
GREAT SEATS. SO IF YOU'RE INSIDE THE STADIUM, WE ARE ACTUALLY IN
THE LAMBO LEAP SECTION. LIKE, I THINK IT'S TWO OR THREE ROWS
RIGHT UP FROM THE END ZONE THERE. AND MATT, I DON'T KNOW,
WHICH END ZONE IS IT? TEXT ME IF YOU'RE WATCHING. I DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT END ZONE IT IS. BUT IT WAS REALLY AWESOME. ONE, I THINK
IT WAS LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS THERE, I HAD THE AISLE SEAT
THERE, AND THIS YOUNG, I GUESS YOUNG PERSON CAME UP TO ME, AND
HE KNEELS DOWN RIGHT NEXT TO ME, NOT KNEELS DOWN, BUT HE GETS
DOWN ON HIS KNEES, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE AROUND HIM
WANTING, HE STARTS, I MEAN, HE'S CRYING, AND I'M LIKE, OH NO,
WHAT IS THIS? HE GOES, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, YOU KNOW, THE
THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE IN MY LIFE, AND I'M SITTING HERE
GOING, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. YOU KNOW, WHO ARE YOU? AND THEN HE
STARTS GOING ON ABOUT, YOU KNOW, JUST HOW MUCH HE WAS BLESSED BY
THE MINISTRY. AND HE ASKED ME TO PRAY FOR HIM. THAT WAS SO
HUMBLING. AND THEN ALSO, IT'S JUST SO GREAT BECAUSE WHEN WE DO
GO UP TO, YOU KNOW, THE GREEN BAY, WE WERE IN A TRUCK STOP
LAST YEAR, AND IT HAD A WENDY'S AT IT. AND I HEAR, "PASTOR HANK,
PASTOR HANK." AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE. THEY WERE
TRAVELING, I THINK, YOU WATCH ALL THE TIME. YOU'RE TRAVELING
FROM MICHIGAN, REMEMBER? AND I THINK YOU WERE HEADING TO LIKE
WYOMING OR MONTANA. AND I WAS ABLE TO JUST HUG YOUR NECK AND
GET A PICTURE, EXCEPT I REALLY LOOK BAD, SO DON'T PUT IT OUT ON
GOOGLE. I LOOKED HORRIBLE. I DIDN'T SHAVE, MY HAIR WAS
STICKING UP, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I HAD JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP IN
THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. I DON'T DRIVE. I TOLD THESE OFFICERS AND
MATT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL GREEN BAY FANS, THE OFFICERS
THAT ARE GOING WITH US, AND I SAID, "I DON'T DRIVE." SO I'M
JUST GONNA HAVE BRENDA PACK ME SOME SNACKS, AND IT'S GONNA BE A
GREAT TIME. BUT I DO HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, COUPLE THINGS REAL
QUICK, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ALSO, BUT IT'D BE
GREAT, AGAIN, IF YOU ARE AT THE GAME, COME DOWN, I'D LOVE TO HUG
YOUR NECK. OH, MATT SAID, "SOUTH END ZONE, "PACKERS SIDELINE
RIGHT BEHIND THE TV BOX." SO YOU MIGHT SEE US ON TV. AND YOU KNOW
WHAT, I MIGHT JUST RUN ON THE FIELD, AND THEN YOU'D REALLY SEE
ME. (LAUGHING) NO, DON'T WORRY, MAMA, I'M NOT GONNA SPEND TIME
IN JAIL. IT'S ALL GOOD. BUT ANYWAY, SO NEXT WEEK, I'LL BE ON
FLASHPOINT ON TUESDAY NIGHT, BUT I HAVE A NEW THING THAT I'M
GONNA DO JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE. HOW MANY WERE HERE LAST
WEEK WHEN STEVE SCHULTZ WAS HERE FROM ELIJAH STREAMS, ELIJAH
LIST? HOW MANY OF YOU? NO, STEVE SCHULTZ, MOVIE PRODUCERS
WERE HERE 'CAUSE THEY'RE PRODUCING A SHOW. SORRY, THANK
YOU FOR THE WIFE. BUT ANYWAY, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR
WITH STEVE SCHULTZ, ELIJAH STREAM, ELIJAH LIST, MAYBE THOSE
OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. AND ANYWAY, THEY'RE PRODUCING A
MOVIE. AND SO THE FILM CREW, THE PRODUCERS, CAME IN AND FILMED,
OH MY GOSH, BRENDA AND I, HOW MANY, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY
HOURS. THEY JUST KEPT ASKING QUESTIONS AND THE ANOINTING WAS
SO STRONG. IT WAS JUST, I MEAN, EVEN THEY SAID, "THIS IS
AMAZING." AND ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT, YOU KNOW, SPEAK LIKE HE
DOES. AND WE REALLY HIT IT OFF WITH THESE PEOPLE. SO THEY
IMMEDIATELY FLEW OUT TO GO INTERVIEW CHARLIE KIRK, 'CAUSE
HE'S GONNA BE IN THE MOVIE AS WELL. AND SO I CALLED STEVE
SCHULTZ, THERE YOU GO. AND LATER THAT NIGHT, AND I SAID, "STEVE,
I KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN ON ELIJAH STREAMS, ELIJAH LIST OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS. AND I JUST, I REALLY FEEL PROMPTED BY THE LORD
THAT I NEED TO KIND OF GET BACK AND SPEAK PROPHETICALLY TO YOUR
AUDIENCE THERE. AND HE SAID, "YOU REALLY WILL DO IT." AND I
SAID, "WELL, I BETTER CHECK WITH MY ASSISTANT FIRST "BEFORE I GET
OVER COMMITTED." BUT WE DID FIND SOME OPENINGS. AND SO I'LL BE ON
THURSDAY, THIS THURSDAY AT 1 P.M. IF YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN US.
AND THEN I'LL BE ON AGAIN. I THINK I SCHEDULED SOMETHING FOR
LIKE THE END OF SEPTEMBER. SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SUPPORT AND LOVE. YOU KNOW, MY HEART HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS, YOU
KNOW, AND THIS SHOULD BE YOUR HEART TOO. AND THAT IS THIS, AND
THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING IS, CAPTURE THE HEART OF GOD.
AND YOU SAY, WELL, HOW DO I DO THAT? WELL, YOU ASK HIM FOR IT,
AND THEN YOU PURSUE. AND THEN YOU SHOW HIM YOUR HUNGER, YOU
SHOW HIM YOUR THIRST. YOU KNOW, LET ME GIVE AN EXAMPLE. THE
OTHER NIGHT I WENT OUT AND I WOKE UP AND I JUST WAS LIKE,
GOD, I JUST, I'M SO HUNGRY FOR YOUR HEART. SO I THOUGHT, I'M
GONNA GO OUTSIDE AND PRAY. I DISCOVERED A NEW PRAISE MOVE
JUST BY BEING OUTSIDE WORSHIPING GOD. CAN I SHARE IT WITH YOU?
IT'S CALLED. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) YOU SAY, WHAT IS THAT? I SAID,
GOD, I CAME OUT HERE TO SEEK YOUR FACE AND YOUR HEART AND ALL
THESE MOSQUITOES ARE OUT HERE. THIS IS NASTY. THEN I TOLD HIM
THIS, I SAID, AND NOT ONLY THAT, I'M TIRED. IT'S THREE IN THE
MORNING, I WANNA GO TO BED. BUT ANYWAY, I FOUND SOMETHING OUT,
GOD IS VERY CHATTY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? THE DEEPER YOU GET
WITH HIM AND HIS HEART AND IN INTIMACY, HE LOVES TO TALK, HE
LOVES TO SHARE THINGS. AND WHEN YOU DISCOVER THAT, THAT IS SO
PRECIOUS. SO BE ABOUT HIS HEART, AND SO I SAY THAT BECAUSE,
WHETHER IT'S OUR MINISTRY OR THE DIFFERENT PLATFORMS THAT WE'RE
ON, OR THE BOOKS THAT WE WRITE, THE NUMBER ONE MOTIVE OF MY
HEART, AND HOPEFULLY IT'S COMMUNICATED AND IT SHOULD BE
YOURS, IS GOD'S HEART NEEDS TO BE RESPECTED AND NEEDS TO BE
HONORED, RIGHT? WE NEED TO LOVE WHAT GOD LOVES, HATE WHAT HE
HATES, AND THEN BE A VOICE FOR HIM. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT IS IN
THE SPIRIT OF INFLUENCE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO YOU, IF IT'S YOUR
JOB, IF IT'S YOUR HOME, IF YOU'RE A STAY-HOME PARENT, AND
YOU GOT KIDS THERE, WELL, THEN BE GOD'S VOICE TO THEM, GOD'S
HEART TO YOUR CHILDREN. RAISE THEM UP IN THE WAYS OF GOD. AND
SO THAT'S WHAT I TRY TO DO. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S GET INTO THIS
MESSAGE TODAY. I WANT YOU TO OPEN UP YOUR BIBLES TO ISAIAH
42. THAT'S KIND OF BEEN OUR TEXT OF HOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A
SHIFT CHANGE. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT THE
ARENA IN TWO WEEKS, WE'RE GONNA BE DOWN THERE ON A SUNDAY. SO
IT'S GONNA BE GREAT, BUT WE'RE GONNA BE THERE SEPTEMBER 11TH
AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO SUNDAY. IT'S GONNA BE A POWERFUL
CONFERENCE. WE'VE ALREADY BEEN FASTING AND PRAYING AND SEEKING
GOD. AND IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT, I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS ONE IS
GONNA BE AMAZING. I PROBABLY SAID EVERY YEAR, BUT ANYWAY,
JUST BEAR WITH ME. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT ISAIAH 42. IT SAYS,
"BEHOLD," SO I WANT EVERY ONE OF YOU TO BEHOLD. I WANT EVERY ONE
OF YOU TO HAVE A MINDSET NOW. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
WATCHING, PAY ATTENTION. THAT'S WHAT IT LITERALLY MEANS. PAY
ATTENTION, GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD, TAKE A MOMENT, GET OFF YOUR CELL
PHONE, RIGHT? UNLESS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SCRIPTURE, BUT
EVEN THEN, TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF THAT AND LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURE.
WHETHER YOU'RE WATCHING AT HOME, LOOK AT IT, LOOK AT THE
SCRIPTURE THAT'S APPEARING BEFORE THE SCREEN. YOU THAT ARE
IN THIS ROOM, GOD IS SAYING, LOOK, PAY ATTENTION, I'M GONNA
DEAL WITH YOUR PAST. HOW MANY OF YOU, YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT
KEEPS TRYING TO COME UP AND ENSNARE YOU, DRAW YOU BACK,
FRUSTRATE YOU, OR SPEAK TO YOU FROM YOUR PAST? MIGHT BE A PAST
RELATIONSHIP, PAST HURT, PAST DISAPPOINTMENT. MAYBE YOU'RE
FEELING LIKE A FAILURE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU BLEW IT. AND
NOW YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S AFFECTED YOUR PRESENT MOMENT AND AFFECTED
YOUR FUTURE. YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION. THE PAST, THE FORMER
THINGS, WHATEVER IT IS, MAYBE YOU'RE DEALING WITH A SICKNESS,
MAYBE YOU'RE DEALING WITH A FINANCIAL NEED. GOD IS WANTING
TO SHIFT YOU SO MUCH AND BRING CHANGE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
VERY DRASTIC. THIS IS WHAT GOD IS WANTING FOR US, ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT COMES TO THE SPIRIT OF DELAY. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT'S
ATTACHED TO THE SPIRIT OF DELAY? 'CAUSE I'VE HAD A FEW THINGS
THAT I'VE BEEN BELIEVING GOD FOR, RIGHT? BRENDA, YOU WERE
TALKING LAST WEEK THAT SCRIPTURE AND IT SAYS GOD MEETS THE
DESIRE. WELL, HOW MANY OF YOU HAD, AND TO PASTOR BRENDA'S
POINT, IT SEEMS LIKE GOD IS MEETING ALL THESE OTHER PRAYER
NEEDS AND REQUESTS, BUT IT'S LIKE THAT ONE THING THAT YOU
REALLY DESIRE, IT'S LIKE, GOD, ARE YOU IGNORING IT? SO WHAT'S
ATTACHED SOMETIMES TO DELAY IS THE SPIRIT OF FRUSTRATION, WHERE
YOU GET FRUSTRATED. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HOPE DELAYED
OR HOPE DEFERRED, A PRAYER REQUEST, THE DESIRE OF YOUR
HEART WHEN IT'S DELAYED, IT CAN MAKE YOUR HEART SICK, IT CAN
MAKE YOUR HEART ACHE, BUT WHEN IT SPRINGS FORTH, IT'S A TREE OF
LIFE. BUT GOD DOESN'T WANT IT TO BE BUT WHEN IT SPRINGS FORTH. IN
A CONDITIONAL SENSE, I BELIEVE AS I'VE TALKED TO GOD AND HE'S
TALKED TO ME THAT HE IS VERY DETERMINED ABOUT THIS SEASON OF
SHIFT CHANGE. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TAKE US OUT OF THE SEASON
THAT WE'VE BEEN IN AND SHIFT US IN A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION TO
WHERE WE ARE GOING TO LITERALLY, LITERALLY SEE THINGS ACCELERATE.
SO BEHOLD, PAY ATTENTION, YOUR FORMER SEASON, THE PAST IS
COMING TO A CLOSE. THERE'S A SHIFT CHANGE, AN END OF TIME, AN
END OF A SEASON, AN END OF FRUSTRATION, AN END OF WHATEVER
IT IS. GOD IS SAYING, I WANT IT TO BE THAT DRASTIC. AND NEW
THINGS I DECLARE. AND BEFORE THEY SPRING FORTH, I TELL YOU OF
THEM. IN OTHER WORDS, GOD SAYS, I'M TRYING TO PREPARE YOU. SO
THAT'S WHY HE'S PUT IN THIS VESSEL'S MOUTH, A WORD AND
MESSAGES TO TRY TO GET US TO BE PREPARED SO THAT WE DON'T KEEP
LOOKING AT WHAT WE DON'T HAVE, WHAT WE WANT, WHAT NEEDS TO
HAPPEN, THE FRUSTRATIONS OF A FORMER SEASON OR A PRESENT
MOMENT. WE NEED TO START LOOKING FOR THIS CHANGE, THIS SHIFT. NOW
GO TO ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER THREE. I JUST WANNA DO A QUICK
RECAP. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF WANDERING.
IN ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER THREE, WE TALKED ABOUT, AND I'M GONNA
SHARE THIS ON ELIJAH STREAMS THIS WEEK, IS TO EVERYTHING, NOW
NOTICE IT DIDN'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT. THIS IS THE WISEST GUY IN
ALL OF THE WORLD. THIS IS SOLOMON, HE WAS SO WISE THAT HE
MARRIED 700 WOMEN, WHICH IS A STUPID DUDE. THAT IS A LOT OF
RESPONSIBILITY. I MEAN, HOW MANY OF YOU MEN CAN SAY, ONE IS MORE
THAN ENOUGH? AND WE ARE SAYING THAT HONORABLY, AND WE ARE
SAYING THAT RESPECTFULLY BECAUSE I DO NEED TO EAT TODAY. AND SO,
NO, BRENDA KNOWS THAT. BUT HERE'S THE POINT, 700, WHAT
DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? YOU ARE STUPID. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET
TO HEAVEN IN OLD AGE AND TELL 'EM, YOU AIN'T SO WISE. I WAS
WISER THAN YOU. I HAD ONE WOMAN FOR DECADES UPON DECADES MARRIED
TO THE SAME GIRL. AMEN. LET ME HEAR ALL THE MEN GRUNT AND SAY
AMEN. SO TO EVERYTHING, NOTHING'S LEFT OUT. THERE IS A
SEASON, ALL RIGHT? UNDERLINE THIS, SEASON. WHAT IS THE SEASON
THAT WE ARE IN? WHAT IS THE SEASON THAT WE'VE BEEN IN? WELL,
GOD ALREADY TOLD US WE WOULD BE IN A SEASON OF HARSHNESS. AND
THEN SOMETHING WOULD SHIFT. GOD PROPHESIED THAT IN 2019. HE SAID
THE DECADE WOULD START OFF HARSH, BUT THEN WE WOULD COME
INTO REST. SO I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S ABOUT TO SHIFT. IT'S ABOUT
TO CHANGE. AND IT'S AMAZING TO ME THAT WE ARE HALFWAY IN THE
DECADE. WE'RE AT THE MIDDLE POINT. HOW MANY OF YOU
UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF THE MIDDLE POINT? DO YOU KNOW THE
RED SEA CROSSED OPEN AND AS THEY ENTERED IN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE,
GOD BEGAN TO CAUSE THE SEA TO BEGIN TO DROWN THE ENEMY AND TO
SHIFT AND CHANGE A WHOLE NATION. RIGHT, YOU LOOK AT THE TIME OF
THE MIDDAY IN THE BIBLE, IT'S VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANT OF WHEN
GOD STEPS IN. SO WE'VE BEEN IN THIS SEASON, YOU COULD SAY OF
SIFTING, YOU CAN UNDERLINE SEASON. SO THE SEASON WE'VE BEEN
IN IS A SIFTING, IT'S BEEN A SHAKING, RIGHT? IT'S WHY THERE'S
A LOT OF CRAZY STUFF THAT WE HAD TO WALK THROUGH THAT WE'RE STILL
KIND OF SEEING A FEW AFTERSHOCKS. I DON'T WANT YOU TO
THINK FOR SOME REASON THAT THIS IS WHAT GOD IS INTENDING, THAT
SOMEHOW ALL OF THIS CRAZINESS, BUFFOONERY, LUNACY, I MEAN, GENE
AND TERRY BAILEY, WHO ARE THE HOSTS OF FLASHPOINT, THEY WERE
SENDING ME BACK VIDEOS YESTERDAY, PASTOR BRENNAN AND I,
OF DOWNTOWN LA, OF SKID ROW AND DIFFERENT PLACES WHERE PEOPLE
ARE LIVING IN TENTS. I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT LIBERAL LUNACY DOES
FOR PEOPLE. OKAY, AND THEY WANNA SAY, KAPLAN HAMAS WAS QUALIFIED
TO BE PRESIDENT OR GRUESOME OUT THERE. I MEAN, THEY'VE MADE THE
PLACE A HELL HOLE. BUT GOD IS SAYING THAT IS NOT HOW IT'S
ALWAYS GOING TO BE. THERE'S A SHIFT OF A SEASON. JUST LIKE
WE'RE GETTING READY TO COME INTO FALL, GOD IS SAYING THERE'S A
SHIFT AND A CHANGE OF THE SEASON. WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE
THIS LEVEL OF LUNACY. THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO BE AT THIS LEVEL
THAT THEY'VE BEEN AT. DO YOU KNOW THERE WAS A MOMENT WHEN
GOD, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RED SEA, DROWNED PHARAOH AND HIS
ARMY? AND RESET EVERYTHING THAT ISRAEL, I'VE SAID IT BEFORE,
THEY STOOD WITH THEIR CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEY LOOKED
AT THE WATER. AND THE BIBLE SAYS THE WATERS RETURNED. WHY DID GOD
INCLUDE THAT, THAT THE WATERS RETURNED? WELL, THAT'S A NATURAL
THOUGHT, BECAUSE YOU DON'T GO TO THE RED SEA TODAY AND THE WALLS
ARE STILL CONGEALED. HE WAS TRYING TO TELL US THAT THERE IS
A SENSE WHERE THINGS ARE GOING TO BEGIN TO OPERATE THE WAY THAT
THEY SHOULD, LIKE WEATHER PATTERNS. RIGHT? THINGS ARE
GONNA RETURN TO A SENSE OF THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. NOT, ARE YOU
READY? TRANSGENDER MUTILATION OF KIDS. THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT
SHOULD BE. I MEAN, YOU'RE ALREADY SEEING IT WITH WOKE.
LOOK AT HOW MUCH WOKE HAS GONE BROKE. LOOK AT CRACKER BARREL.
UNCLE HERSCHEL WAS TOO CONNECTED TO UNCLE SAM. TO THE GREAT US OF
A. AND THE LIBERAL LOONIES THAT WERE PUSHING FOR THAT GOT A
LESSON. AND THEY'RE ALL GONNA GET A LESSON. BECAUSE WE ARE IN
AND BEEN IN A SEASON, AS ECCLESIASTES 3 SAYS, OF A
SHAKING, A SIFTING. BUT NOW WE HAVE A FEW AFTERSHOCKS. I'M NOT
SAYING IT'S GONNA COMPLETELY GO AWAY. I'M SIMPLY SAYING IT AIN'T
GOING TO BE AT THE LEVEL THAT IT HAS BEEN. AND NO, ON ROSH
HASHANAH, THE LORD AIN'T GONNA TAKE US ALL OUT OF HERE IN
SEPTEMBER. QUIT ASKING ME TO ADDRESS SOMETHING THAT IS SO
OBVIOUS. YEAH, BUT HAVEN'T YOU HEARD FROM THE PROPHETS? YOU
REALLY HAVE TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD? OKAY. I SPENT A LOT OF
TIME WITH GOD. HE'S NEVER WHISPERED THAT IN MY EAR. YOU
MEAN THE LORD'S NOT COMING? I KNEW YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE. JUST
SHUT UP, I DIDN'T SAY THAT. I'M TELLING YOU, ON SEPTEMBER 24TH
AND 25TH AND 26TH AND OCTOBER 1ST, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THERE
WASN'T A RUPTURE, BUT THERE'S A RUPTURE. THAT'S WHAT GOD IS
SAYING. THAT IS PART OF A GLOBAL RESET. WELL I'LL BE LOOKING DOWN
AT YOU AS I'M CARRIED AWAY. BYE. LET US GET BACK TO WHAT I WAS
SAYING EARLIER IN THIS MOMENT. OKAY, NOW, I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT
GREEN BAY, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. OKAY, LOOK AT ECCLESIASTES
THREE. SO THERE'S A SEASON, NOW NOTICE THERE'S A TIME. WHAT TIME
IS IT? SHIFT, CHANGE. SAY SHIFT, CHANGE. SO WHAT TIME IS IT? IT'S
TIME FOR A CHANGE. COME ON, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER RAISED
KIDS? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER RAISED LITTLE BABIES? HOW MANY
EVER BABYSAT? HAVE YOU EVER HAD IT WHEN THEIR DIAPERS GET FULL
AND THEY STINK? DO YOU IGNORE IT? NO, YOU SAY, "PASTOR BRENDA,
THEY NEED A DIAPER CHANGE." (LAUGHING) RIGHT? I WAS REALLY
GOOD AT IT, I WAS. GOOD AT IT. BUT HERE'S THE THING, NO, YOU
GET TIRED OF THE MANURE, YOU GET TIRED OF THE STINK, YOU GET
TIRED OF THE FILTH, SO WHAT DO YOU DO? TIME TO CHANGE THOSE
DIAPERS, TIME FOR A SHIFT CHANGE. WELL, WE HAD THE DIRTY
FACE MASKS ON. THAT WHOLE SEASON. IT'S TIME FOR A SHIFT
AND A CHANGE. NOW WHY? GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THERE'S A TIME, AND
THAT'S THE SHIFTING. THE SEASON IS THE SIFTING, BUT THE PURPOSE
IS SWIFTING OR ACCELERATION. TO REALLY REDEEM THE TIME, GOD IS
GOING TO MAKE UP A LOT OF TIME. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU,
THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. I REALLY BELIEVE THERE'S AN
ACCELERATED PROMISE CONNECTED TO IT, OR AN ACCELERATED
MANIFESTATION CONNECTED TO IT. THAT'S THE BETTER WORD. NOW GO
FOR JUST REAL QUICK, 2 KINGS 6, AND THEN I'M GONNA TAKE YOU TO
WHERE I WANNA TAKE YOU. IN 2 KINGS 6, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT
VERSE 25. AND NOW NOTICE AGAIN, THE SHIFTING AND THE SWIFTING.
REMEMBER, SEASON, TIME, AND PURPOSE. NOW LAST WEEK I
REFERENCED THIS IN VERSE 25 REGARDING THE NATION, BUT AS I
WAS STUDYING IT AND READING IT AGAIN, I FELT LIKE THE HOLY
SPIRIT SAID, "NO, NOW BRING IT DOWN TO THEM." SO THERE WAS A
GREAT FAMINE IN SAMARIA. SO THAT WAS THE SIFTING, THAT WAS THE
SHAKING, MAN. YOU KNOW, IT WAS SO BAD. IT WAS A HARSH SEASON,
JUST LIKE WHAT WE WENT THROUGH. INDIVIDUALLY, AS A NATION, THERE
WAS A GREAT FAMINE IN SAMARIA. NOW WATCH THIS, PAY ATTENTION,
BEHOLD, THEY BESIEGED IT. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY LITERALLY WERE
EATING DONKEY'S HEAD AND THEY WERE SOLD FOR FOUR SCORE PIECES
OF SILVER. WELL, HOW DOES THAT APPLY TO US WHEN IT COMES TO A
SHIFT CHANGE? WELL, LAST WEEK I LIKENED IT TO THE DONKEY PARTY
AND LIBERALISM, BUT TODAY I'M GONNA LIKEN IT TO US WHEN WE GET
STUBBORN OR LIKEN IT TO EXODUS 32 OR 33 WHERE GOD SAYS, YOU
KNOW WHAT? YOU ARE A STIFF NECKED PEOPLE. IN FACT, I'M NOT
GOING WITH YOU, EXODUS 33:3. I'M NOT GOING WITH YOU 'CAUSE
YOU'RE STIFF NECK. YOU GOT A DONKEY, REBELLIOUS, KICKING,
STUBBORN ATTITUDE. PEOPLE, I KNOW A LOT THROUGH THE YEARS OF
PEOPLE WHO THEY HAVE THIS DONKEY MINDSET. THEY ARE STUBBORN, YOU
CAN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING. GOD CAN APPEAR AND THEY'LL QUESTION
IT. AN ANGEL WILL SHOW UP AND THEY'LL SAY, "OH, IT WAS JUST A
DEVIL." I MEAN, I KNOW PEOPLE THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY,
ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY BECOME SO STUBBORN, SO REBELLIOUS THAT
EVEN THOUGH GOD WOULD SHOW UP IN THE FLESH, THEY AREN'T GONNA DO
IT AND THEY'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW
SOMEBODY LIKE THAT? SO WE HAVE TO GET RID OF STUBBORNNESS. WE
HAVE TO GET RID OF KICKING AND SCREAMING. WHY DID JESUS OF ALL
THE ANIMALS, AND I KNOW THE THEOLOGICAL REASON, SO DON'T GO
THERE, ABOUT LOWLY, HE SHALL THE SON OF GOD THE KING RIDE IN ON A
DONKEY. BUT WHY DID HE ALSO CHOOSE A DONKEY? BECAUSE JOB 11
VERSE 12 SAYS THAT MAN, MAN, MAN'S NATURE, WE'RE BORN LIKE A
WILD DONKEY. KICKING, SCREAMING, WANNA HAVE OUR WAY, DETERMINE
GOD HAS GOTTA BE OUR WAY, OR AIN'T DOING IT, MINDSETS. AND SO
JESUS RODE IN ON THAT DONKEY BECAUSE HE'S TRYING TO SHOW US
THAT IF MAN'S BORN LIKE A DONKEY, STUBBORN, AND OUR FLESH
LIKES TO GET IN THE WAY, WE NEED JESUS TO SIT ON US THEN. YOU
KNOW WHAT THAT IS? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? IT'S WHEN BRENDA AND I
WRESTLE, AND I JUST SIT, AND THEN SHE BITES ME AND I HAVE TO
GET UP. NO, I'M TEASING. BUT YOU EVER HAD TO SUBMIT LIKE MY
GERMAN SHEPHERDS? OKAY, THEY'RE TRAINED, BUT THEY KNOW. I GET
'EM IN SUBMISSION, I GET 'EM ON THEIR BACK, OR I POINT MY
FINGER, I SNAP MY FINGERS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIMES, AND
THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN, AND THEY, BOOM, SUBMIT. OKAY, I
TRIED THAT WITH MY KIDS, IT NEVER WORKED, BUT. (CONGREGATION
LAUGHING) BUT HOW MANY UNDERSTAND SUBMISSION? JESUS WAS
SHOWING US THAT WE HAVE TO REIN IN OUR STUBBORN DONKEY NATURE.
NOW, GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THIS ONE IS, THEY SOLD A FOURTH PART
OF A CALF'S DUNG, VERSE 25. SO NOW THERE'S TWO THEOLOGICAL
THOUGHTS HERE. SOME SAY THEY WERE USING IT AS FUEL, OR THEY
WERE EATING DOVE'S DUNG, THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS. WELL, HOW DOES
THAT WORK ON A PERSONAL LEVEL? I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT IT IS.
PEOPLE WHO WASTE THEIR TIME ON THINGS THAT THEY CALL GOD, OR
GOD DOING, AND IT AIN'T GOD. IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY PERSON
THAT TOLD ME SOMETHING, GOD SAID, AND THEN THEY TELL ME WHAT
GOD SAID, AND THEN I'M LIKE, WELL, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THAT
DOESN'T MAKE COMMON SENSE. NUMBER TWO, THAT DOESN'T LINE UP
WITH THE BIBLE. NUMBER THREE IS, I THINK WE'RE AT A WAR HERE
BECAUSE GOD IS SPEAKING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
YOU'RE TELLING ME, AND HERE'S WHAT I HEAR. AND MOST OF THE
TIME WHEN I WOULD SAY SOMETHING TO THEM, IT WOULD BE EXACTLY
LIKE THE LORD SAID, AND I'M NOT SAYING 100% RIGHT, BUT WHAT'S
CRAZY ABOUT IT IS PEOPLE WHO SIT THERE AND PUT CAUTION TO THE
WIND, THEY JUST, I MEAN, THEY JUST, THEY'RE RECKLESS. THEY'RE
REBELLIOUS, RIGHT? THEY USE GOD SAID TO LITERALLY CONVINCE
THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WHY THEY WON'T SHIFT AND WHY THEY WON'T
CHANGE. I'M JUST SPENDING TIME WITH GOD. THEN WHY ARE YOU
CONFUSED? WHY CAN'T YOU GET AN ANSWER? 'CAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU'RE DOING THAT'S A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. I'VE LEARNED FROM
GOD. PEOPLE SAY, "PASTOR HANK, HOW DOES GOD SPEAK?" MOST OF THE
TIME, IT'S THE ILLUSTRATION OF THE GRAPES. THEY BECAME THE
GRAPES OF WRATH TO ISRAEL. WELL, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, PASTOR HANK?
GOD LITERALLY TOLD ISRAEL, "GO OVER INTO THE PROMISED LAND, "12
SPIES COME BACK AND PRESENT THESE MASSIVE GRAPES, "OH, FOR
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY IN ISRAEL." AND THEY LITERALLY LOOK
AT THE GRAPES, THEY SEE THE FRUIT, THEY EVEN SAY, "OH, IT'S
A PLACE "FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY, OH, THIS IS SO GREAT."
AND SO IT'S SO OBVIOUS THAT GOD WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT
HE WANTS FOR THEM, WHAT HE WANTED FOR THEM, THE PROMISE HE
HAD FOR THEM. BUT GUESS WHAT THEY DID? THEY IGNORED THE
OBVIOUS. "AND BEGAN TO ABSOLUTELY HAVE A DUNG'S DUNG
MINDSET." OH, GOD REALLY DIDN'T SAY THIS BECAUSE WE'RE
GRASSHOPPERS, RIGHT? PEOPLE WHO IGNORE THE OBVIOUS, GOD SPEAKS
IN THE OBVIOUS. GOD SPEAKS BY REPETITION. GOD SPEAKS BY
CONFIRMATION. OKAY, THAT WAS A PROPHETIC CONFIRMATION. GOD TOLD
THEM THE LAND WAS PROSPEROUS. GOD TOLD THEM THAT THE LAND WAS
ABUNDANT AND FRUITFUL. AND THERE'S THE EVIDENCE. HE'S
CONFIRMING THE PROPHETIC WORD. BUT I KNOW PEOPLE THAT WILL TURN
THEIR BACK AND IGNORE PROPHETIC WORDS. NOW, SOME PROPHETIC WORDS
NEED TO BE SHELVED. THAT'S THE RULE. LET GOD MANIFEST, BUT
DON'T RESIST IT. OTHERWISE YOU GET INTO A WANDERING CYCLE AND
YOU NEVER GET ANYWHERE. LOOK AT THE LAST ONE, VERSE 29. "THEY
WERE BOILING THEIR BABIES." WHAT'S THAT ONE? PEOPLE, WHEN
GOD IS TRYING TO BIRTH THEIR NEW SEASON, THEY KILL IT. JUST LIKE
THOSE BOILED BABIES. YOU KNOW HOW SOME PEOPLE BOIL THE BABIES
TODAY? THROUGH ANGER. THEY GET MAD BECAUSE GOD AIN'T ANSWERING
AND HE'S TAKING TOO LONG. YOU KNOW WHAT MARILYN HICKEY, ALL
THE YEARS THAT SHE WOULD SPEND TIME ON THE PHONE WITH ME
TEACHING ME STUFF, YOU KNOW WHAT SHE KEPT SAYING TO ME? "HANK,
ALWAYS REMEMBER, GOD IS NEVER ON TIME. "HE'S NEVER LATE EITHER."
WELL, I SAID, "WELL, THEN WHAT IS HE?" HE'S ALWAYS LAST MINUTE.
AND I SAID, "MARY LYNN, I DON'T LIKE THAT."
SHE SAID, "WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED." THEN
I TOLD HER, I SAID, "MARY LYNN, "I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT I TOLD
GOD. "THERE'S A WORD THAT I HATE, IT'S CALLED WAIT."
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) "I DON'T LIKE IT." SHE SAID, "WELL, GOD
IS ALWAYS LAST MINUTE." SO WHEN IT COMES TO GOD BIRTHING
SOMETHING, SOMETIMES WE DON'T LIKE THE PAIN OF IT, SO WE ABORT
IT. WHETHER IT'S THE PHYSICAL PAIN OF IT OR THE PERCEIVED
THING, OH, IF I GIVE BIRTH TO THIS CHILD, IF I STEP INTO MY
DESTINY, IF I REALLY MAKE A DRASTIC DECISION IN MY LIFE, OH,
IT MIGHT HURT ME. NOT IF IT'S GOD THAT'S BIRTHING IT. IF GOD
IS THE GIVER OF THAT LIFE OR THAT DREAM OR THAT DESTINY OR
THAT ANSWERED PRAYER, "WHY ARE YOU KILLING IT?" YOU KNOW HOW
BAD I DID NOT WANNA BE IN THIS SHOPPING CENTER? I WOULD PULL
INTO IT AND I WAS LIKE THE KID KICKING THE STUPID STONE. I'D
GET OUT OF MY CAR, I'D LOOK AROUND AND JUST, "I HATE THIS
PLACE, GOD." WELL, I DID. I DID. AND LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT I WAS
ALMOST KILLING WHAT GOD BIRTHED. WE OWN THIS WHOLE PLACE. WHAT IF
I WOULD HAVE A STINKING BAD ATTITUDE? WELL, I'M JUST DONE,
GOD, YOU JUST. AND GOD HAD TO HUMBLE ME, I GUESS, AND GIVE ME
THE UGLIEST CHURCH IN TOWN. THE LITTLE STOREFRONT. WHEN YOU
OPENED THE DOOR, WE HAD TO HAVE AN USHER. WELL, YEAH, TO WELCOME
YOU, BUT TO HOLD THE DOOR UP SO HE DIDN'T FALL. YOU KNOW THOSE
METAL ONES THAT ARE ON LIKE STOREFRONTS. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO
TO THE NEXT ONE. SO DON'T KILL WHAT GOD'S TRYING TO BIRTH.
DON'T BE STUPID, RIGHT? LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, WELL, I'M
GONNA TELL YOU WHAT TO SAY. SAY, HOW YOU DOING? I'M NOT GONNA BE
STUPID. I THINK YOU'RE TERRIFIC. LISTEN, I THINK YOU'RE
FANTASTIC. AND I'M NOT GOING AWAY. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT
DEUTERONOMY 1. I WANNA SHOW YOU A PATTERN. IT'S CALLED THE
SPIRIT OF THE WANDERER. IN DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER ONE, I'LL
EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT THE WANDERER IS. I KNOW YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT
IT IS. NOW, DEUTERONOMY 1 SAYS, "THE LORD OUR GOD," VERSE SIX,
"SPOKE UNTO US IN HOREB." NOW, YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND WHAT MOUNT
HOREB WAS. THAT WAS THE PLACE WHERE GOD CAME DOWN TO MEET WITH
THE PEOPLE. I HAVE PEOPLE THAT GET INTO THE SPIRIT OF
WANDERING, THEY GO IN MOTION BECAUSE THEY OVER-SPIRITUALIZE
THINGS. RIGHT? I'VE HAD PEOPLE COME TO ME, WELL, GOD HASN'T
SPOKE TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'M SPENDING ALL THIS
TIME PRAYING, FASTING, AND IN THE BIBLE. AND I LOOK AT THEM
AND I SAY, WELL, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE PRAYING ABOUT? AND THEN
THEY TELL ME, I'M LIKE, WELL, THAT'S COMMON SENSE. YOU'RE OVER
SPIRITUALIZING IT. AND THEN WHEN THEY TELL ME, I'M LIKE, WELL,
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THIS? WELL, NO, I DON'T WANNA DO THAT.
OH, OH, YOU JUST REVEALED. YOU'RE OVER SPIRITUALIZING IT.
I'VE HAD GOD SOMETIMES WITH DECISIONS TELL ME, YOU KNOW WHAT
HE TOLD ME BEFORE? HANK, STOP IT. STOP WHAT? YOU ARE GETTING
TWO IN YOUR HEAD. YOU'RE OVER SPIRITUALIZING IT. YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR EVERY LITTLE THING TO LINE UP. LORD, LET THE WIND
BLOW TODAY. WELL, THE WIND BLOWS. LET THE SUNSET HAVE
PURPLE. THE SUNSET HAS PURPLE. LET A GUY DRIVE BY IN A TRUCK
WITH THE WORD SHIFT. RIGHT? AND WHEN I GET TO WORK, WHAT'S THE
FIRST THING THAT SAYS OUT OF THEIR MOUTH IS CHANGE. WELL, THE
BOSS HAS BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU TO CHANGE FOR A LONG TIME. GET
ON TIME. SO SOMETIMES WE OVER-SPIRITUALIZE THINGS
THAT IT KEEPS US IN A EXPERIENCE THAT
GOD HAS MOVED ON. YOU DIDN'T HEAR WHAT I SAID. GOD HAS MOVED
ON. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS JACOB. GOD WRESTLED WITH JACOB. JACOB WAKES
UP AND GOD MOVED ON. AND HE GOES, "DUH, YOU KNOW, "I THINK
GOD MIGHT'VE BEEN HERE. "I THINK I HAD A VISITATION. "SURELY GOD
WAS IN THIS PLACE." SOMETIMES IT'S TOO LATE. I'VE HAD GOD MOVE
ON. I'VE HAD GOD LITERALLY TELL ME, "HANK, I'M NOT TALKING TO
YOU ABOUT THAT. I'M NOT DISCUSSING THAT, QUIT HOLDING
ONTO THAT. I TOLD YOU THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT. THIS IS WHAT I WANT
UNTIL YOU OBEY WHAT I WANT, I'M NOT GONNA DISCUSS THIS." I MOVED
ON. WHY DO YOU THINK, OH, YOU SAY, "WELL, THAT'S JUST NOT THE
CHARACTER OF GOD." YOU DON'T KNOW GOD. WHY AFTER IN EXODUS
32, ISRAEL IS DOWN WITH A GOLDEN BEEF, RIGHT? AND IT WAS
ABSOLUTELY EVIL. I MEAN, IT WAS LIKE BURGER KING OR SOMETHING.
THIS GOLDEN, I LOVE BURGER KING. I MEAN, I DON'T EAT THERE, BUT I
LIKE IT. I DON'T, IF YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY, BURGER KING
PEOPLE, THIS IS NOT DEFAMATION, OKAY? SO ANYWAY, THE POINT IS,
THEY LOOKED AT THIS, THEY WERE WORSHIPING A GOLDEN BEEF, MIXING
BALE WORSHIP. AND GOD WAS SO ANGRY AND HE SAID TO MOSES,
"MOSES, GO DOWN AND DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE. "THEY'RE IDIOTS."
AND THEN HE SAID, "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, "I'M GONNA TAKE THEM
ALL OUT AND I'LL START OVER WITH YOU "AND I'LL HAVE THE NATION OF
MOSES "AND EVERYTHING WILL BE A LOT EASIER." AND MOSES STOOD UP
AND SAID, "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, GOD. "UH-UH, YOU'RE GONNA
REMEMBER YOUR PEOPLE, "YOU'RE GONNA REMEMBER YOUR COVENANT."
AND THEN EXODUS 33, MOSES HAS AN INTIMATE MOMENT WITH GOD. HE
SAYS, "GOD, I WANNA SEE YOUR GLORY." WHAT DOES GOD SAY? HE
SAYS, "ALL RIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, "I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUT YOU IN
THE CLIFF TO THE ROCK. "AND I'M NOT GONNA SHOW YOU MY FACE. "I'M
NOT GONNA SHOW YOU THE FRONT SIDE OF ME. "I AM GOING TO SHOW
YOU MY BACK." NOW THERE'S THEOLOGICAL REASONS, I'VE
PREACHED SOME OF THEM. BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT, HAVE YOU EVER
THOUGHT GOD SAYING, "I'M MOVING ON. "ISRAEL, I'M MOVING ON.
"MOSES, I'M MOVING ON. "I TOLD YOU WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU, MOSES.
"I TOLD THE PEOPLE WHAT'S WAITING FOR THEM, "AND IT'S
BETTER THAN EGYPT. "IT'S BETTER THAN THIS STUPID MOUNTAIN "THAT
I'M COMING DOWN ON. "I'M GONNA BUILD A TABERNACLE IN THE
WILDERNESS "WHERE MY PRESENCE WILL BE SEEN. "I'LL COME AND
VISIT WITH YOU, "AND I'LL COME AND VISIT THE PEOPLE, "AND I'LL
HAVE THIS PILLAR OF CLOUD AND THIS FIRE. "I WILL NEVER EVER
DEPART. BUT YET IF YOU WANT THAT, I'M TURNING MY BACK
BECAUSE IT'S CALLED A SHIFT CHANGE. IT'S ON MY TERMS. AND
I'M NOT GONNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS STUFF. IF YOU WANT IT, YOU
BETTER PURSUE ME. YOU BETTER FOLLOW AFTER ME IF YOU WANNA BE
LED INTO YOUR DREAM, YOUR CALLING, RIGHT, YOUR PROMOTIONS.
AND I'VE HAD GOD DO THAT WITH ME. THAT MIGHT BE WHERE SOME OF
YOU ARE TODAY, WHERE GOD HAS MOVED ON. AND IF YOU'RE NOT
CAREFUL, YOU'RE GONNA MISS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE.
BECAUSE HE'S TURNED, HE'S TRYING TO LEAD YOU TO IT, AND YOU'RE
STILL STUBBORN AND STUCK IN A PAST SEASON, OR WHAT YOU WANT
AND NOT WHAT GOD WANTS. YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE COME HERE AND THEY
SAY, "OH, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL
BUILDING." AND OBVIOUSLY ALL OF US TOGETHER, WE WERE PART OF
THAT GREAT HONOR TO GOD. BUT REALLY, AT THE ROOT OF IT, WAS A
MAN AND A WOMAN WHO REFUSED TO LEAVE. EVEN THOUGH GOD HAD THIS
FOR ME, I HAD TO LITERALLY SAY, "OKAY, LORD, "YOU'RE TURNING
YOUR BACK, I'M GONNA HAVE TO FOLLOW YOU. "I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WANT ME "IN THIS DUMPY SHOPPING CENTER, "BUT NOW YOU'RE
DRIVING IT, YOU DON'T THINK THAT AT ALL, DO YOU?" BECAUSE GOD
ALWAYS KNOWS THE FUTURE. THAT'S WHY THEY HAD A TV SHOW CALLED
"FATHER KNOWS BEST." SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO THE FATHER, I
ALWAYS SAY TO HIM, "YOU KNOW, JESUS TAUGHT ME TO HOLLER YOUR
NAME AND TO HONOR YOUR NAME. GOD, YOU ARE MY FATHER AND YOU
KNOW BEST. AND SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT I TRUST YOU AND
I WILL DO IT." NOW, CAN I TELL YOU THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF
ISRAEL? WHY DID THEY? WELL, LET'S READ ON, THEN I'LL TELL
YOU WHAT THE CHARACTERISTICS ARE. I GOTTA GET INTO THIS. THE
LORD GOD SPOKE, "QUIT OVER-SPIRITUALIZING IT. I'VE
MOVED ON FROM HOREB. YOU'VE DWELT HERE LONG ENOUGH. NOW
YOU'RE JUST IN A CIRCLING. YOU'RE IN A HOLDING PATTERN.
YOU'RE WANDERING. YOU THINK YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL. YOU THINK
THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. YOU'VE GOTTEN SO COMFORTABLE
TO YOUR PRESENT MOMENT, IF I COME DOWN AND SPEAK TO YOU TO
MOVE, YOU WON'T, 'CAUSE YOU GOT TOO COMFORTABLE AND SENTIMENTAL
WITH YOUR SURROUNDINGS. I HAVE PEOPLE THAT SAY THAT ABOUT A
JOB. OH, I HATE MY JOB, BUT I'VE JUST KINDA HAVE GROWN TO JUST
KINDA GET USED TO IT. YEAH, BUT YOU COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME. WHY
STAY THERE? WHY NOT START EXPLORING? OR YOUR HOUSE, YOU
BECOME SENTIMENTAL. OKAY, YOU KNOW THAT YOU LIVE IN A DUMPY
NEIGHBORHOOD AND A DUMPY HOUSE. RIGHT? AND YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT
IT. I LIVE IN A DUMPY HOUSE IN A DUMPY NEIGHBORHOOD. WELL, YOU
HAVE A RIGHT TO MOVE. YOU GOTTA ASK YOURSELF, ARE YOU BECOMING
SENTIMENTAL? ARE YOU BECOMING SO ACCUSTOMED TO A PATTERN, TO A
HABIT, TO A LIFESTYLE, RIGHT? HOW ABOUT THE LIFESTYLE OF
REJECTION? THE REASON WHY A NEW PERSON CAN'T COME INTO YOUR LIFE
IS BECAUSE YOU KEEP WANDERING IN THE CYCLE OF REJECTION. SO YOU
KEEP ATTRACTING LIKE FLIES THE WRONG PEOPLE. WELL, YOU KNOW,
YOU ALL TALK ABOUT HOW BLESSED YOU ARE AND I'M STRUGGLING
FINANCIALLY. HELLO, HAVE YOU BEEN IN A HOLDING PATTERN
BECAUSE YOU HEAR MESSAGES ABOUT TITHING, YOU HEAR MESSAGES ABOUT
GIVING, BUT YOU DON'T DO IT. SOMETIMES WE ARE OUR HARDEST. I
KNOW PEOPLE, IF THEY WOULD JUST HUMBLE THEMSELVES, SOFTEN THEIR
HEART. I'VE LEARNED A SECRET. GOD MEANS IT WHEN HE SAYS, "A
BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEART I WILL NOT DESPISE." GOD LOVES A
TENDER HEART. NOW, CAN I TELL YOU, I HAVE A TENDER HEART. I
KNOW I DO. I BELIEVE, GOD, YOU WOULD BACK THAT UP. NOW, I'M NOT
TRYING TO TOOT MY HORN, BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. YOU KNOW
WHY I HAVE A TENDER HEART? BECAUSE I'VE HAD A LOT OF THINGS
THAT GOD HAD TO TEACH ME OR HAPPEN IN MY WALK OF 40 YEARS OF
MINISTRY, 40 YEARS WITH, WELL ACTUALLY OVER 40 YEARS WITH GOD,
BUT 40 YEARS OF MINISTRY. I HAD A LOT OF HARD KNOCKS, A FEW
HURTS THAT HIT ME HARD. WHAT DO YOU DO TO TENDERIZE MEAT?
SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA HAVE IT, YOU GOTTA HAMMER IT AND HIT IT. I'VE
HAD A FEW OF THOSE BLOWS. BUT DON'T PUT SELF-INFLICTING BLOWS
UPON YOUR DESTINY. QUIT BEING HARD ON YOURSELF. FACE IT. AND
DO WHAT'S RIGHT. WE COMPASSED, WE WENT AROUND THIS THING LONG
ENOUGH. NOW GOD SAYS THIS, LISTEN. HE SAYS, GET MOVING,
TAKE TURN. YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING, YOU HAVE TO BE
OBEDIENT. LOOK AT THE VERSE. THEY WENT AROUND MOUNT HOREB.
THEY DWELT THERE LONG ENOUGH AND GOD SAYS, LISTEN, IT'S ON MY
TERMS NOW. I'VE MOVED, I'M SHOWING YOU MY BACK. IF YOU WANT
ME, YOU BETTER GO AFTER ME. AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU, IT MAY NOT
BE EASY, BUT I'M GONNA TELL YOU, I WILL BLESS YOU. WE TALK
SURRENDER, WE TALK SACRIFICE, BUT DO WE REALLY DO IT AT THE
END OF THE DAY? NO, I REMEMBER A GUY, I PRAY HE'S DOING WELL. I
REMEMBER A GUY THAT WE HAD EARLY ON IN THE MINISTRY HERE, AND HE
HAD A TREMENDOUS TEACHING GIFT. AND I LET HIM TEACH IN THE
CHURCH. THE PROBLEM WAS EVERY TIME HE TRIED TO TEACH, HE TRIED
TO OUTDO PASTOR HANK. WELL, I'M NOT A GREAT TEACHER. I'M NOT THE
BEST PREACHER. SO THAT DIDN'T BOTHER ME. I'M NOT IN
COMPETITION WITH ANYBODY. I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN
COMPETITION WITH HIM. EVERYBODY KNEW HE WAS A BETTER TEACHER
THAN ME. THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS HIS HEART WAS
WRONG. AND SO I SAID, WELL, HEY, WHAT, 'CAUSE I NEEDED AN
ASSISTANT BACK THEN. I SAID, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO
CONSIDER BEING A PASTORAL ASSISTANT HERE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT
THEY DID? THEY ROLLED OUT ALL THEIR NEEDS AND THEIR DEMANDS
AND I COULD BARELY PAY ME AND SUPPORT TWO KIDS AND THEY WANTED
A TWO CAR GARAGE, A NEW CAR, THIS SALARY. AND I SAID, WELL
LISTEN, I DON'T DETERMINE MY SALARIES. I HAVEN'T FOR YEARS.
THERE WAS 10 YEARS I DIDN'T EVEN TAKE A RAISE. HERE'S THE POINT.
I SAID, LOOK, I'M NOT IN IT FOR ALL THIS STUFF. I SAID, THIS
ISN'T ABOUT ENTITLEMENT. IT'S ABOUT, AND I KNOW YOU HAVE TO BE
REALISTIC, YOU HAVE A BUDGET, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY
WALKED OUT. MY POINT IS, SOMETIMES WE GET CAUGHT UP IN
THESE PATTERNS WHERE WE AREN'T WILLING. WE HAVE ALL THESE TERMS
THAT, WELL GOD, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE I WILL. WE GOTTA
QUIT SAYING THAT. JESUS DID NOT SAY THAT WHEN HE WAS IN THE
GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, GOD, BEFORE I WILL.
HE SUGGESTED, "HEY, CAN YOU LET THIS CUP PASS FOR ME?" BUT THEN
SOMETHING SHIFTED AND CHANGED IN JESUS. HE REMEMBERED YOU! AND HE
SAID, "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!" WITH EVERY
DEVIL AFTER HIM. COME ON, YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED SPIRITUAL
WARFARE LIKE YESHUA. YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE VEXING OF YOUR
SOUL AND YOUR EMOTIONS AND YOUR MIND UNDER ATTACK, RIGHT? TO
WHERE BLOOD IS COMING OUT OF YOUR SKIN. AND HE DIDN'T PUT
TERMS. LIKE TWO CARS AND A GARAGE. AND A SALARY AND ALL
THESE CONDITIONS. HE SAID, "NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR WILL." WHEN
GOD TOLD ME TO COME TO OMAHA TO START A CHURCH, I DIDN'T HAVE A
DIME. THEN HE TOLD ME TO RENT A HOUSE, I DIDN'T HAVE A DIME.
TOLD YOU THE STORY, THE GUY ON THE PHONE SAYS, "PRAISE GOD, MY
WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. "GOD TOLD US A MAN OF GOD
WOULD CALL." AND WHEN HE TOLD ME THE RENT, HE SAID, "WILL THAT
WORK FOR YOU?" I SAID, "WELL, I DON'T HAVE A DIME." HE SAID, "DO
YOU THINK YOU CAN GET A DEPOSIT TOGETHER?" I SAID, "SURE."
BRENDA, HOW ARE WE GONNA GET A DEPOSIT? (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
GOD SHOWED ME THE FRONT DOOR BEFORE I EVER CAME HERE IN A
VISION, SHOWED ME THE WATER TOWER, SHOWED ME THE DOOR,
SHOWED ME THE SIGN THAT WOULD BE WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WITH
THE SIGN ON IT. WE DROVE RIGHT TO IT. THE PROBLEM WAS THEY
WANTED 400 OR 700, 500, WHAT WAS IT? $500 A MONTH. I DON'T EVEN
HAVE ENOUGH TO FEED A CHILD, TAKE CARE OF A WIFE, PAY RENT,
OR EVEN START A CHURCH. WHAT AM I DOING? I DIDN'T PUT TERMS ON
IT. WELL, GOD, IF YOU WANT ME TO COME TO OMAHA, I NEED A NEW
VEHICLE, GOD. I'M NOT MEETING A DUMPY STOREFRONT. I NEED A BRAND
NEW BUILDING WITH 50 ACRES. JUST I'M ANOINTED. I WAS JACK SQUAT
NOTHING. AND I SAID, NOT MY WILL. NOT MY WILL. NOT MY WILL.
SOME OF THE GREATEST PRAYERS I'VE PRAYED ARE TWO THINGS IN MY
LIFE. CAN I TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE? IT'S NOT DEEP. NUMBER ONE,
THE PETER'S PRAYER, WHEN HE'S SINKING IN WATER. LORD, SAVE ME,
HELP ME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. RESCUE ME. THAT'S A POWERFUL
PRAYER. BRING, JEREMIAH 33:3, HELP! (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
AND THEN YOU HEAR, YOU HAVE CALLED THE HELPLINE.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) HERE'S THE SECOND PRAYER, NOT MY WILL.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I DON'T LIKE IT. HAVE YOU EVER HAD
SOMETHING THAT GOD ASKED YOU TO DO THAT YOU DON'T LIKE? WELL,
THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE WANDER, BECAUSE WE BASE IT OFF OF OUR
TASTES. BUT I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING. GOD'S WILL WILL ALIGN
TO YOUR TASTE IF YOU WILL JUST OBEY. JUST OBEY. SO THAT'S THE
FIRST PRAYER, RESCUE ME. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER PRAYED THE
RESCUE PRAYERS? IF YOU WANNA PRAY IT NOW, YOU CAN. IT'S EASY,
JUST SAY, HELP! OKAY, SEE, YOU ALREADY PRAYED THAT PRAYER. HAVE
YOU EVER PRAYED THE NOT MY WILL PRAYER? OKAY, YOU CAN DO IT NOW.
NOT MY WILL, GOD, YOUR WILL. WOW, I THINK YOU'RE GONNA
TESTIFY ABOUT A SHIFT CHANGE. NOW WATCH, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT
ONE. TURN, BE WILLING, OKAY, YOU GOTTA HAVE ACTION. TAKE YOUR
JOURNEY, GO, GET MOVING. GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD, GET OUT OF YOUR
EMOTIONS, RIGHT? AND GET OUT OF ALL YOUR TERMS. LOOK AT THE NEXT
ONE, DEUTERONOMY 2, LOOK AT VERSES ONE THROUGH THREE. THEN
WE TURNED, OKAY, YOU HAVE TO TURN, AND WE TOOK OUR JOURNEY
INTO THE WILDERNESS. ALL RIGHT, WHERE'S YOUR JOURNEY TAKING YOU?
WHAT HAS GOD ORDAINED FOR YOUR LIFE? YOU KNOW, I HAD, LIKE I
SAID, I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT ABOUT HANK, I'M JUST TRYING TO
GIVE YOU EXAMPLES. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD A TEACHER TELL
YOU, DON'T PUBLIC SPEAK 'CAUSE YOU'RE NO GOOD AT IT? I KNOW
SOME OF YOU THINK THAT ALREADY, THAT SHE WAS RIGHT. DOESN'T
MATTER, I'M OBEYING GOD IN MY CALLING, WHETHER IT'S TRUE OR
NOT. I DIDN'T LET HER STOP ME. HAD ANOTHER TEACHER TELL ME,
"DON'T WRITE. YOU'RE NO GOOD AT IT." WELL, HELLO BOOKS TODAY
THAT I DO WRITE. WHAT IS IT THAT GOD HAS ASKED YOU TO DO? YOU
THAT ARE WATCHING. YOU GOTTA TAKE YOUR JOURNEY. YOU GOTTA
START TAKING IT SERIOUS AND SAYING, "GOD, I'LL DO IT."
WHATEVER YOU WANT. "I AM NOT GONNA GET CAUGHT UP IN VICIOUS
CYCLES." LOOK AT WHAT THEY SAID. "TURN, TAKE YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH
THE WAY OF THE RED SEA. "AND THE LORD SPOKE, YOU HAVE GONE IN A
VICIOUS CYCLE." NOTICE MOUNT SEIR. NOW MOUNT HOREB IS
CONQUERING THE SPIRITUAL, IS ALIGNING YOUR SPIRIT WITH GOD
AND NOT OVER SPIRITUALIZING IT. THAT WAS THE MOUNT HOREB
EXAMPLE. THIS ONE, MOUNT SEIR IS THE PLACE OF ESAU, WHICH IS THE
PLACE OF THE FLESH, WHERE PEOPLE SELL OUT WHAT GOD HAS FOR THEM,
WHAT GOD WANTS FOR THEM, FOR THEIR FLESH. RIGHT? WE DON'T
WANNA BE IN A STUPID, UGLY STOREFRONT 'CAUSE MY FLESH SAYS
THAT IT'S UGLY, AND I WAS EMBARRASSED WHEN PEOPLE WALKED
IN WITH BLUE CARPET WE HAD TO MOW. RIGHT, THAT'S A JOKE, BUT
IT SMELLED. PEWS THAT PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAT IN THEM, THEY
LEANED FORWARD. OKAY, IT WAS UGLY, IT WAS SMELLY. PEOPLE HAD
TO TELL OTHERS THAT, HEY, WE GO TO THAT CHURCH, THAT CHURCH. I
MEAN, PEOPLE DO THAT NOW, WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING, BUT
THAT'S OKAY. THE POINT IS, MOUNT SEIR, GOD WILL ALWAYS DEAL WITH
YOUR SPIRIT, BUT THEN HE'LL COME FOR YOUR FLESH. HE'LL COME AND
HE'LL SAY, ALL RIGHT, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT DEUTERONOMY FOR A
SECOND. HERE'S WHAT GOD DOES WITH YOUR FLESH. CAN I TELL YOU
WHAT HE DOES? HE GOES TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 22, 10, I
BELIEVE IT IS. AND HERE'S WHAT HE ASKS OF YOUR FLESH. AND IT'S
VERY, VERY INTERESTING TO ME. DEUTERONOMY 22, VERSE 10. OH,
OKAY, WELL, THIS IS A GREAT ONE. THOU SHALL NOT PLOW WITH AN OX
AND A DONKEY TOGETHER. REMEMBER THE DONKEY HEAD? YOU'RE NOT
GONNA GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE THROUGH STUBBORNNESS. THAT'S
WHAT THE DONKEY REPRESENTS. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE SUCCESSFUL
IN A HARVEST, A DREAM, A CALLING, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP
ALIGNING YOURSELF WITH STUBBORNNESS AND YOUR FLESH. NOW
GO BACK TO DEUTERONOMY 12:10. THAT'S THE ONE, DEUTERONOMY
12:10. NOW WATCH THIS ONE. DEUTERONOMY 12, OR 10:16. I'M
SORRY, I WROTE IT DOWN WRONG. 10:16, DEUTERONOMY 10:16. LOOK
AT THIS, THIS IS A PRINCIPLE NOW, BECAUSE MOUNT SEIR
REPRESENTED THE FLESH, SELLING OUT FOR YOUR FLESH RATHER THAN
WHAT'S PROMISED TO YOU. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT MARRY THE WRONG
PERSON. AFTER WARNINGS, AFTER WARNINGS, AFTER WARNINGS. AND I
WOULD SAY TO THEM, "I THINK THAT THIS IS MORE ABOUT YOUR FLESH
"THAN THE SPIRIT OF GOD OR YOUR OWN SPIRIT." AND SADLY, SOME
PEOPLE AREN'T MARRIED TODAY BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT THEIR
FLESH. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL MISERABLE IN THEIR JOBS
BECAUSE THEY MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR FLESH, HOW MUCH
MONEY THEY MAKE, RIGHT? I KNOW PEOPLE THAT DON'T ADVANCE IN GOD
BLESSING THEM FINANCIALLY 'CAUSE THEY MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR
FLESH. THEY CAN ALWAYS FIND ENOUGH MONEY TO GO ON VACATION
AND DO ALL THEIR HOBBIES, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ENOUGH MONEY TO
TITHE. AND THEY CAN'T FIND ENOUGH MONEY TO BE A CONSISTENT
GIVER. PEOPLE THAT ARGUE THE TITHE, LET ME CHALLENGE YOU
THIS. IF YOU WANNA ARGUE THE TITHE, WELL, GOD DOESN'T HOLD US
TO ANY AMOUNT. UNTIL YOU PROVE THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE 11%,
DON'T ARGUE WITH ME. THE TITHE IS 10%. IF YOU CAN'T GIVE 11% OR
MORE CONSISTENTLY, THEN THE REAL ISSUE IS GOD DOESN'T HAVE
CONTROL OF YOUR HEART OR MONEY. BECAUSE THEN REALLY THE ISSUE
IS, YOU DON'T WANNA GIVE 10%, AND THAT'S REALLY THE ROOT OF
IT. SO YOU MAKE AN EXCUSE AND YOU COME INTO LEGALISM. BUT I
KNOW PEOPLE THAT THEY ENJOY THEIR FLESH, THEY ENJOY MOUNT
SEIR, AND THEY WONDER WHY THEY'RE NOT BLESSED, BECAUSE
THEY VIOLATE CERTAIN SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES. AND SO THEY WANDER,
THEY WANDER, THEY WANDER, THEY WANDER, THEY WANDER. YOU KNOW
HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE PEOPLE THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR YEARS,
AND I RUN BACK IN WITH THEM, THEY'RE STILL IN THE SAME OLD
PLACE AGAIN, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BREAK THE CYCLES. MINDSETS,
WRONG WORDS, NEGATIVITY, THEY CAN'T SUBMIT THEIR WILL, THEY
CAN'T PUT THEIR FLESH DOWN, THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING BIGGER AND BETTER THAT IS ALIGNED WITH THEIR FLESH AND
NOT THE WILL OF GOD. LISTEN TO ME, I TOLD YOU THIS STORY. I HAD
THE UGLIEST BUILDING IN TOWN AND I GOT OFFERED A 2,500 SEAT
AUDITORIUM, OR ACTUALLY IT WAS A BIGGER AUDITORIUM, BUT IT HAD
2,500 MEMBERS, BIBLE SCHOOL, ELEMENTARY, HIGH SCHOOL,
FOOTBALL FIELDS, BASEBALL FIELDS, TV MINISTRY, WHEN I HAD
THIS UGLY BUILDING. DO YOU THINK MOUNT SEIR WAS STARING ME IN THE
FACE? ABSOLUTELY, 'CAUSE I COULDN'T GROW THIS THING. AND
THEY CAME A-CALLIN', THEY CAME A-CALLIN', AND THEN I'D GO DOWN
TO DALLAS, AND THEY'D SAY, "HEY, LISTEN, HANK, YOU BELONG IN
DALLAS. "YOU'D HAVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHURCHES HERE IN DALLAS.
"WE RECOGNIZE THAT ANOINTING." AND THEN THEY'D START NAMING OFF
PEOPLE. "SEE, THIS IS WHAT GOD DID WITH THEM, "AND YOU GOT AN
ANOINTING LIKE THIS, "AND AN ANOINTING LIKE THAT." AND I
SAID, "SHUT UP, I'M NOT CALLED TO DALLAS." NOW I'M NOT SAYING
ONE DAY I WOULDN'T START A CHURCH THERE, A SATELLITE IF GOD
WANTS ME TO, OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. I'M JUST, I'M THROWING THAT OUT.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT. I'M JUST USING IT AS AN EXAMPLE. 'CAUSE
YOU DON'T WANNA EVER SAY NEVER. BUT ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU,
THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN. THIS IS MY HEADQUARTERS. GOD TOLD ME, "YOU
ARE TO STAY HERE. "THIS IS WHERE I WANT YOU." AND I'VE STAYED.
BUT I COULD'VE HAD MOUNT SEIR TALK TO ME. SOMETHING THAT LOOKS
BIGGER AND BETTER AND BRIGHTER. BUT IT'S CONNECTED TO YOUR
FLESH. AND IT KEEPS YOU IN A WANDERING CYCLE. MOST THINGS
THAT GOD HAS ASKED ME TO DO, AT THE TIME IT SEEMED HARD. AT THE
TIME IT SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE. AT THE TIME, IT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED
TO DO. AT THE TIME I WAS LIKE, WHY HAVE IT BETTER DOING THIS?
WHY WOULD YOU COMPLICATE MY LIFE? HAVE YOU EVER HAD THAT?
NOW I'M LOOKING AT IT GOING, "FORGIVE ME, FORGIVE ME. I'M
PROBABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT SON OF YOUR FAMILY, GOD." OKAY,
LET'S KEEP GOING ON. YOU ENJOYING THIS? I MIGHT HAVE TO
PICK BACK UP ON THIS IN 2 WEEKS. 3 WEEKS. CAN YOU GET THROUGH IT?
ALRIGHT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KEEP YOU LONG 'CAUSE I HAVE SOME
GREAT POINTS AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THEM. WE'VE CIRCLED,
WE'VE WANDERED, THIS SPIRIT OF WANDERING. NOW LET ME TELL YOU
THIS. THE SPIRIT OF WANDERER, IT CREATES VISCOUS CYCLES AND
KEEPS US FROM A SHIFT CHANGE. SHIFT CHANGES DON'T HAPPEN IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO CHANGE DIRECTION.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WITH ISRAEL. NOW, I'M GOING TO TALK
THE SPIRIT OF THE WANDERER REAL QUICK. WHAT IS THE SPIRIT OF THE
WANDERER? AND I'M JUST GONNA READ THESE
OFF. AND THEN PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START
MAKING YOUR WAY UP HERE. THE SPIRIT OF THE WANDERER IS THOSE
WHO LIVE THEIR LIVES, NEVER REACHING THEIR GOD-GIVEN
DESTINIES OR CALLINGS THAT GOD HAS FOR THEM. SO AS A RESULT,
ANYTIME THERE'S INSTABILITY, THERE'S VICIOUS CYCLES, THERE'S
CONFUSION, IT MEANS YOU'RE IN A SPIRIT OF WANDERING. AND YOU
HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF, WHAT AM I DOING AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
ALWAYS EXAMINE YOURSELF. I KNOW PEOPLE, THEY WILL NOT EXAMINE
THEMSELVES. I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, CLINT, MAYBE YOU'RE
WATCHING, HE'S 90 YEARS OF AGE. HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER CLINT?
HE BOUGHT US OUR FIRST CAMERAS, WROTE OUT A CHECK FOR
$77,777.77, CLINT. NINE-YEAR-OLD, HE'S A FRIEND,
TREMENDOUS REAL ESTATE EXPERT DOWN IN FREDERICKSBURG AREA. AND
HE ALWAYS SAID TO ME, HE WAS LIKE A FATHER FIGURE TO ME. YOU
REMEMBER CLINT, MOM. AND HE'S JUST A GREAT GUY. AND HE WOULD
SAY TO ME ALL THE TIME BEFORE I HUNG UP THE PHONE, HE'D SAY TWO
THINGS, PALS FOREVER. IN OTHER WORDS, NO MATTER WHAT WE GO
THROUGH, DON'T EVER CUT IT OFF WITH EACH OTHER. WE'RE PALS
FOREVER, WE'RE GONNA STICK THIS THING OUT. SECOND THING HE WOULD
SAY, HANK, DON'T LOSE HUMILITY. STAY HUMBLE, BE HUMBLE. REMEMBER
THE POWER OF HUMILITY. AM I AN EXPERT AT IT? I'M NOT SAYING
THAT, I'M SAYING WHAT HE KEPT DRIVING IN ME THAT I STRIVE FOR.
WHETHER I'VE REACHED IT IN YOUR EYES, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO
JUDGE THAT, I'M JUDGING IT. AND I'M TELLING YOU I GOT A WAYS TO
GO. HERE'S THE POINT, THE POINT IS I'M SELF-REFLECTING. I'M
SELF-EXAMINING. OKAY, YOU KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO GO TO
DR. JESUS? BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET ON HIS EXAMINING TABLE AND
IT BECOMES A WORSE CONDITION BY THE TIME YOU SHOW UP IN HIS
OFFICE. BUT IF YOU WOULD JUST EXAMINE YOURSELF, PEEL OPEN YOUR
HEART, SAY, IS THERE ANY DONKEY NATURE WAYS? IS THERE ANY
REBELLION? IS THERE ANY FLESH? IS THERE ANYBODY IN MY LIFE,
PEOPLE, THAT I NEED TO GET RID OF? IS THERE ANY PLACES THAT I'M
GOING TO THAT ISN'T RIGHT? IS THERE ANYTHING I'M DOING WITH MY
TIME THAT REALLY I NEED TO SHIFT AND CHANGE? GOD, IS THERE
ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT ME? SEE, IF YOU WANT THE
HEART OF GOD, I'M WRITING A BOOK, BECOMING THE FRIEND OF
GOD, AND ONE THING I WROTE IN THERE, IF YOU WANT THE HEART OF
GOD, YOU HAVE TO THEN LET GOD TRY YOUR HEART. YOU NEVER WILL
GO DEEPER WITH THIS HEART UNLESS YOU SAY WHAT DAVID SAID, TRY MY
HEART. SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WICKED IN THERE, GOD. AND IF
THERE IS, REVEAL IT TO ME AND I'LL GET IT RIGHT. I'LL GET IT
RIGHT NOW. I'LL DO IT RIGHT NOW. WELL, BUT PASTOR, HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE YOU EVER TOLD GOD THAT YOU WILL GET IT RIGHT, AND THEN YOU
DID IT RIGHT FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN YOU GOT IT WRONG AGAIN?
IT'S HAPPENED TO ME IN MY 40-YEAR JOURNEY. BUT I'VE
LEARNED SOMETHING. WHY DOES THE BIBLE SAY, THROUGH JOHN THE
BAPTIST, BRING FORTH FRUIT THAT'S MEAT FOR REPENTANCE? WHY
DOES IT SAY FRUIT, MEAT FOR REPENTANCE? THE REASON HE USES
THE WORD FRUIT IS BECAUSE FRUITS DON'T JUST GROW OVERNIGHT. YOU
READ HOW GOD CREATED SOMETHING. HE DIDN'T SAY, AND ON THE FIFTH
DAY, GOD CREATED WATERMELON. AND HE CREATED APPLES. NO, HE SAID
HE CREATED SEEDS. EVERYTHING WAS A SEED. DECISIONS, CHOICES,
MINDSETS THAT ARE RIGHT, GODLY LIFESTYLE, GODLY CHOICES, GODLY
PASTORS, PASTORS THAT AREN'T GONNA BRING DOVES DUNG TO YOU.
BEING A PERSON WHO'S SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, GOD, I MAY HAVE
GOTTEN IT WRONG, BUT I'M GONNA MAKE SOME DAILY CHOICES, AND IF
I SLIP UP, I'M GONNA GET IT RIGHT AGAIN, AND THERE'S ANOTHER
SEED THAT'S GONNA ULTIMATELY GROW TO WHERE I'M GONNA LOOK
BACK AND GO, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT THAT PERSON ANYMORE. I DON'T
DO THOSE THINGS ANYMORE. WHY? 'CAUSE YOU GREW THE FRUIT OF A
REPENTIVE LIFE. WELL, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? LITTLE SEED CHOICES
BACK HERE. THAT THE DEVIL WAS TELLING YOU, OH, YOU'RE A
FAILURE, YOU'RE AN IDIOT. SEE, YOU CAN'T GET IT RIGHT. YOU'LL
NEVER GET IT RIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU CHOSE TO GET UP AND GET IT
RIGHT, PEEL OPEN YOUR HEART AND SAY, TRY MY HEART. GOD, I'M
GONNA DO WHAT'S RIGHT. I DON'T CARE THE PAIN OF IT. I'M GOING
TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. YOU'RE GONNA THEN LIVE IN THE FRUIT OF A
REPENTANT LIFE THAT DRAWS GOD TO YOU BECAUSE HE LOVES
RIGHTEOUSNESS, IT SAYS, AND HE HATES INIQUITY. YOU WANT GOD'S
HEART? THAT'S WHAT YOU GOTTA DO. YOU GOTTA SAY IT TO 'EM ALL THE
TIME. GOD, I LOVE TO DO WHAT'S HONORABLE. ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA
CLOSE WITH THIS. YOU KNOW WHY ISRAEL COULD CROSS OVER? WOULD
YOU LIKE ME TO PREACH PART TWO ON THIS 'CAUSE I DO HAVE SOME
MORE REALLY GOOD STUFF. AND I DON'T WANNA JUST HIT YOU. I
WANNA GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW TO BREAK CYCLES. IN FACT,
PASTOR MATT AND PASTOR ANTHONY HAVE A NEW BOOK CALLED OUT. I
FORWARDED IT FOR THEM. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT TRIGGERED
THIS MESSAGE. I FORWARDED THEIR NEW BOOK CALLED HOW TO BREAK
NEVER-ENDING CYCLES AND REACH YOUR DESTINY. YEAH, AND SO I
JUST FORWARDED IT. YOU CAN GET IT AT OTH, THEY'LL SIGN IT. BUT
I WANT YOU TO STAND ON YOUR FEET 'CAUSE I WANNA SAY THIS IN
CLOSING. THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING. SO, YOU KNOW, I
KINDA GOT TO REFLECTING FOR A MOMENT. SO IF WE'RE CAUGHT UP IN
A CYCLE, MAYBE IT'S COMPLAINING, MAYBE IT'S UNFULFILLED PRAYER, A
NEED THAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING GOD, AND I STARTED LOOKING AT IT. I
SAID, OKAY, LORD, I NEED A BIBLICAL EXAMPLE. I STARTED
LOOKING AT ISRAEL. AND I STARTED ASKING MYSELF, SELF, WHY DID
ISRAEL GET INTO WANDERING? AND I LOOKED AT ALL THE REASONS, YOU
KNOW, THEY COMPLAINED, AND WE'LL GO OVER SOME OF THOSE. THEY GOT
INTO UNBELIEF, THEY BLAMED EACH OTHER, THEY BLAMED GOD, RIGHT?
WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE. BUT REALLY THERE WAS, AND I
KINDA NARROWED IT DOWN TO THREE THINGS THAT IF THEY WOULD'VE
JUST DONE, THAT I THINK ARE PRINCIPLES FOR US TO BREAK THAT
NEVER-ENDING CYCLE. CAN I TELL YOU THE FIRST ONE? GOD ALWAYS
SAID, "JUST HONOR ME AND LOVE ME." WELL, WHAT IS HONORING AND
LOVING GOD? HONOR IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING BECAUSE HONOR IS
THE ROOT OF THE FIRST INIQUITY, PURPOSEFUL SIN EVER MANIFESTED.
IT WAS LUCIFER. INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN HIM, PURPOSEFUL SIN.
WELL, PEOPLE SAY, "BUT IT WAS PRIDE. "IT WAS SELFISH
AMBITION." YEAH, BUT THE ROOT OF THE FRUIT THAT WAS MANIFESTED
WAS DISHONOR. HE CHOSE TO DISHONOR GOD. HE DIDN'T DO WHAT
GOD SAID. AND THEN ADAM AND EVE, YEAH, THEY ATE OF THE FORBIDDEN
FRUIT BUT REALLY THAT'S THE FRUIT. BUT WHAT WAS THE ROOT OF
IT? THEY DISHONORED. AND THAT'S WHY, LISTEN TO ME TEENAGERS, YOU
WANT A GOOD LIFE, IT TELLS YOU, IT'LL BE WELL WITH YOU. AND NOT
JUST TEENAGERS. MOM, I HAVE TO LEARN THIS AS YOUR SON, I COULD
DO BETTER. OBEY YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER IN THE LORD FOR IT'S
RIGHT SO THAT IT'LL BE WELL WITH YOU, RIGHT? IT WAS ALL BASED ON
HONOR. HONORING GOD, THE REASON ISRAEL GOT IN TROUBLE, 'CAUSE
THEY DISHONORED. THEY GOT MAD AT GOD, THEY BLAMED GOD, THEY
DIDN'T TRUST GOD, THEY HAD ATTITUDES WITH GOD, THEY FORSOOK
GOD, THEY GOT INTO SIN BEFORE GOD, AND THEY BROKE AN IMPORTANT
RULE. DON'T DISHONOR GOD. IF YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY, JUST GET
BACK TO SAYING SOMETHING I'VE BEEN PRAYING EVERY DAY. YOU
KNOW, JESUS, WHEN HE WAS ASKED, TEACH US TO PRAY, HE TOLD US, HE
SAID, THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS YOU HAVE TO GET A REVELATION
THAT GOD IS YOUR FATHER. AND JESUS, OVER 200 TIMES IN THE
ARAMAIC, WHEN HE WAS USING THE WORD FATHER, IT'S WHY THE
PHARISEES GOT SO MAD AT HIM. HE WOULD SAY, "BY THE WAY, MY PAPA
SAYS, MY DADDY SAYS," WHICH HE WAS USING THE WORD ABBA, "MY DAD
SAYS." AND THEY'RE LIKE, "GOD BEING ON A PERSONAL LEVEL "LIKE
A DAD, YOU ARE AN IDIOT." THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. WE ONLY
KNOW GOD AS A PARENTAL FIGURE CORPORATELY FOR US, A PEOPLE,
BUT NOT ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. AND JESUS KEPT SAYING, "OH YEAH,
YEAH, YEAH." "MY DADDY SAYS, MY DADDY SAID." JESUS SAID IT, THE
FIRST THING YOU DO IS JUST SAY, "MY DADDY." THAT'S REALLY WHAT
HE WAS USING WHEN HE PRAYED THE LORD'S PRAYER WAS, "MY ABBA, "MY
DAD, MY PAPA, MY SWEET, SWEET FATHER." SO YOU GOTTA HAVE THE
REVELATION OF THE FATHER. SETTLE THAT 'CAUSE HE'LL NEVER LET YOU
FAIL. AND THEN YOU SAY, I HALLOW THY NAME. AND BRENDA AND I, WHEN
WE PRAY EVERY DAY TOGETHER, WE HALLOW THE NAME OF GOD. WE PICK
SOMETHING ABOUT THE NATURE AND THE CHARACTER AND THE LIKENESS
OF GOD AND WHAT HE HAS SAID ABOUT HIMSELF. AND WE SAY, YOU
ARE THE GOD OF CONSISTENCY BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT YOU'RE THE
SAME YESTERDAY AND FOREVER. AND THEN I REMIND YOU OF THESE TIMES
THAT I'VE SEEN THAT CONSISTENCY, MY FATHER. SO YOU LEARN TO
HALLOW HIS NAME. WHAT IS THAT? THAT'S HONOR, HONOR HIM. IF HE
WANTS YOU TO DO SOMETHING, THEN DO IT. IF YOU'RE IN A BAD
RELATIONSHIP AND YOU KNOW HE DOESN'T LIKE IT, GET OUT OF IT.
YOU KNOW HOW HE FEELS ABOUT MISSIONARY DATING, DATING A
NON-BELIEVER. STOP DOING IT TO YOURSELF, RIGHT? YOU KNOW HOW HE
THINKS ABOUT LYING. STOP DOING IT. YOU KNOW HOW HE FEELS
GETTING MAD ALL THE TIME, OR GETTING MAD AT YOUR SPOUSE, OR
GETTING MAD WITH SOMEBODY ELSE. YOU KNOW HOW THE FATHER'S HEART
HATES THAT STUFF, THEN STOP DOING IT, HONOR HIM. IF NOT,
YOU'LL GET INTO A VICIOUS CYCLE. WHAT IS THE SECOND THING ISRAEL
DID? YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID? THEY MADE THINGS ABOUT WHAT THEY
WANTED. I WANT FLESH! AND WHAT GOD WAS TRYING TO GIVE THEM WAS
NEVER GOOD ENOUGH. SO THEY RESORT TO THE FLESH, RIGHT?
PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR CHURCH EXPERIENCE, HAPPY WITH
THEIR PRAYER LIFE, HAPPY WITH GOD, RIGHT? THEY DON'T SPEND
TIME WITH GOD. THEY'LL SHIFT IN THE FLESH. AND THE THIRD THING
THAT I SEE IF ISRAEL WOULD HAVE JUST DONE, IS JUST OBEY. JUST
OBEY. THESE BEEN OLD SONG, THEY DIDN'T LEAD US THIS FAR, GOD
DIDN'T TO LEAVE US. HE DIDN'T TEACH US TO SWIM TO LET US
DROWN. HE DIDN'T LIFT US UP TO LET US DOWN. GOD IS SO FAITHFUL.
THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT I CAN TELL YOU I HAVE LEARNED IN MY
LIFE. WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I CAN TRUST HIS NATURE, HIS
CHARACTER, AND I CAN TRUST THE CONSISTENCY THAT I SEE OF HOW HE
HANDLED MATTERS IN THE BIBLE, BUT THEN I START LOOKING FOR
TIMES IN MY OWN LIFE WHERE I CAN REFLECT AND I SAY, BUT FATHER,
YOU DIDN'T JUST PART THE RED SEA. YOU DIDN'T JUST TAKE
SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO OUT OF A FIERY FURNACE. YOU TOOK
THIS VESSEL AND THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH ME. AND IT'LL
ALIGN YOU THEN INTO TRUTH. AND WHEN YOU'RE ALIGNED IN TRUTH,
THE ENEMY CAN'T CONFUSE YOU OR DECEIVE YOU. FATHER, I DO PRAY
FOR THE PEOPLE. THIS IS PART ONE, I GUESS. I ASK YOU TO BRING
SOMETHING TO THEM, AND THAT IS WHAT WAS BROUGHT, I DON'T THINK
I'VE EVER PRAYED THIS. BRING TO THESE PEOPLE WHAT YOU BROUGHT TO
PETER. WHEN HE WAS ASKED, "WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I AM?" AND PETER
IMMEDIATELY SAID, "THOU ART THE CHRIST. "YOU ARE THE SON OF THE
LIVING GOD." BUT GOD, THE REASON HE KNEW THAT IS BECAUSE YESHUA
TURNED AND SAID, "BLESSED ARE YOU, SIMON BAR-JONAH. "THE FLESH
HASN'T REVEALED THIS. "WHAT YOU'VE READ HASN'T REVEALED
THIS. "THOSE WHO SPEAK ON THE STREETS HAVEN'T REVEALED THIS.
"BUT MY FATHER IN HEAVEN, HE HAS REVEALED THIS." AND SO, ABBA,
GREAT FATHER, I ASK YOU, REVEAL YOURSELF TO THESE PEOPLE. SHOW
YOURSELF, REVEAL YOURSELF. AND LASTLY, I PRAY AS THEY SHIFT AND
CHANGE, THAT THE ANOINTING WOULD DESTROY VICIOUS CYCLES, HABITS,
MINDSETS, DESTROY IT NOW. ANY YOKE, ANY SOUL TIES, ANY
ATTACHMENT THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE WILL OF GOD, WE SEVER IT. WE
SHIFT THEM NOW INTO THE DIVINE ALIGNMENT, PURPOSE, PERFECT WILL
OF GOD FOR THEIR LIFE. FATHER, WE ASKED YOU FOR A REVELATION
NOW, SPEAK TO THEM. SHOW THEM THE WAY, THAT THEY'LL WALK IN
IT. AND LORD, THEY WON'T MISS IT BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT
YESHUA, EVERY TIME HE CAME, HE SAID, "PEACE, PEACE I GIVE TO
YOU. "PEACE, I LEAVE. "PEACE, I SPEAK TO YOU." PEACE IS A
PERSON. AND I PRAY, YESHUA, THAT YOU WOULD MANIFEST YOURSELF BY
THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN PEACE, PERFECT PEACE, THAT SURPASSES
THEIR MIND AND BYPASSES THEIR FLESH TO WHERE THEY'LL KNOW,
THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS FOR ME. AND THEY'LL PURSUE PEACE. AND
THEY'LL BE BROUGHT INTO A NEW SEASON. I THANK YOU FOR IT. I
WORSHIP YOU. AND I BLESS YOU TODAY. AND ALL THE PEOPLE SAID,
AMEN, PLEASE KEEP STANDING. I WANT YOU JUST TO BE RESPECTFUL
AS PASTOR DOUG COMES FOR A FEW MINUTES. I KNOW I WENT A LITTLE
LATER. I COULDN'T SHUT IT OFF, YOU KNOW, SO. OKAY, I HOPE YOU
GOT SOME OUT OF IT. I'LL BE BACK AGAIN TO SHARE.
- THAT WAS A GREAT MESSAGE. WE'RE GOING TO SHIFT INTO
EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS FOR US. AMEN.
AMEN. ALDER TEAM, YOU CAN RUN UP HERE QUICKLY. I'M
GOING TO ASK THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE TODAY TO JUST STAY FOR
A COUPLE MORE MINUTES FOR A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS AS WE CLOSE TODAY.
IF YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT, YOU NEED TO BE WORKING OUT SOMEWHERE
IN THE FOYER, YOU'RE WELCOME TO BE DISMISSED NOW.
ALDER TEAM, THANK YOU FOR COMING FORWARD. AND IF YOU NEED
PRAYER THIS MORNING, AT THE END OF THIS SERVICE, AS SOON AS WE
CONCLUDE, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORWARD. AND OUR ALDER TEAM, OUR
TRAINED PRAYER WARRIORS THAT WILL BE HONORED TO BE IN
AGREEMENT WITH YOU TODAY FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT NEED
PRAYER FOR. BEFORE I MOVE ON THOUGH, WITH SOMETHING VERY
IMPORTANT I WANNA TALK ABOUT, I WANNA ASK THIS QUESTION, ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS YOU'LL EVER BE ASKED, AND THAT'S
HAVE YOU SHIFTED INTO THE WILL OF GOD BY SERVING JESUS CHRIST?
AND IF YOU HAVEN'T, THEN THAT'S THE STARTING PLACE. MAYBE YOU'VE
BEEN CIRCLING, DISOBEYING, RUNNING FROM GOD INSTEAD OF
RUNNING TO GOD. AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TODAY FOR YOU TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. HE HAS A
WONDERFUL, ABUNDANT PLAN FOR EACH ONE OF US, BUT WE HAVE TO
STEP INTO IT. WE HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION. JESUS WAS SENT TO
THE CROSS OF CALVARY TO DIE FOR OUR SINS, AND HE'S MADE A WAY
FOR US SO THAT WE CAN HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD. HE'S THE
ONLY WAY. THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THAT I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH,
AND THE LIFE. NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. THAT'S
JESUS SPEAKING. HE'S SAYING HE'S THE ONLY WAY. YOU CAN'T COME
THROUGH BUDDHA. YOU CAN'T COME THROUGH ALLAH. YOU CAN'T COME
THROUGH MUHAMMAD. ALL THOSE OTHER WAYS ARE FALSE RELIGIONS.
THERE'S ONE WAY. THE WORD OF GOD GIVES YOU ONE WAY. IT STOOD THE
TEST OF TIME. IT'S TRUTH. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO THIS
TODAY. IF YOU'RE ONLINE OR IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY, BOW YOUR
HEADS WITH ME QUICKLY. AND IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE AND YOU
SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, I'VE NEVER MADE A FULL COMMITMENT TO JESUS.
I WANT TO KNOW THAT WHEN I LEAVE THIS EARTH, I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
I WANT TO KNOW THAT I CAN BE WITH JESUS FOREVER AND I WANT TO
SERVE HIM." IS THERE ANYONE HERE, AND YOU'D TAKE A MOMENT TO
SLIP UP YOUR HAND AND JUST SAY, "I WANT PRAYER TODAY. I WANT TO
MAKE A DECISION FOR JESUS." OR MAYBE YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE,
YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT WHEREVER YOU'RE AT. JESUS WILL SEE YOU.
ANYONE HERE? RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY IF THAT'S YOU. DO WE
HAVE ANYONE HERE? AND YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE, YOU NEED TO
MAKE A DECISION TODAY. I DON'T SEE ANY HANDS. IS THERE A HAND
UP THERE? OH, I DO SEE A HAND UP THERE. I'M SORRY, THE LIGHTS, I
CAN'T SEE IT. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU, IT'S GOT YOUR HAND UP
THERE, TO JUST DO SOMETHING VERY BOLD TODAY. IF YOU JUST COME
DOWN OUT OF YOUR SEAT RIGHT DOWN HERE, I'M NOT GOING TO EMBARRASS
YOU. I WANT YOU TO COME DOWN AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A
DECLARATION TODAY AND PRAY AND ASK GOD TO INTERCEDE FOR YOU,
COME INTO YOUR HEART, MAKE YOU A NEW CREATURE. GIVE HER A HAND AS
SHE COMES. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) GIVE HIM A HAND. IS THERE ANYONE
ELSE HERE TODAY AND YOU SAY, "I WANNA MAKE THAT DECISION"?
ANYONE ELSE THAT DIDN'T RAISE THEIR HAND OR MAYBE YOU DID
RAISE YOUR HAND AND I DIDN'T SEE YOU? COME DOWN HERE QUICKLY,
JOIN THIS YOUNG PERSON. WE'RE GONNA MAKE A DECISION,
DECLARATION TODAY. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. JUST COME RIGHT DOWN
HERE IN FRONT OF ME. OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, YOUNG LADY. I
LOVE IT WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE COME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU GUYS
HAVE A LOT OF LIFE AHEAD OF YOU. AND AS YOU MAKE A DECISION FOR
JESUS AND YOU FOLLOW HIM, BOTH OF YOU, DAD, YOU'RE JUST, YOU
ALREADY KNOW THE LORD. YOU'RE TRYING TO GET TO HIM TOO? OKAY,
SO ALL THREE OF YOU, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT AGE. (AUDIENCE
APPLAUDING) WHEN YOU MAKE A DECISION FOR JESUS, IT'LL CHANGE
YOUR LIFE, PUT YOU ON A NEW PATH. ONLY JESUS HAS A PATH FOR
YOU. ONLY HE HAS WRITTEN A MANUAL. YOU KNOW WHAT? YOUR DAD
DRIVES A CAR. THERE'S A MANUAL IN THAT CAR THAT TELLS YOU HOW
TO OPERATE IT. YOUR PARENTS HAVE A CAR, I'M SURE. THERE'S A
MANUAL THAT TELLS THEM HOW TO OPERATE IT. THE PERSON THAT
CREATED THAT VEHICLE WROTE THE MANUAL. WELL, JESUS WROTE A
MANUAL, GOD WROTE A MANUAL. IT'S CALLED THE BIBLE. TELLS US HOW
TO LIVE. NOT ONLY TELLS YOU HOW TO LIVE THROUGH THIS LIFE, BUT
IT TELLS YOU HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN. BECAUSE PART OF YOU IS A
SPIRIT PERSON THAT'S GONNA LIVE FOREVER. EVEN IF YOUR BODY DIES
SOMEDAY, YOU'RE GONNA LIVE FOREVER. AND YOU CAN, BY TODAY,
MAKING A DECISION TO SERVE JESUS, KNOW THAT YOU CAN BE IN
HEAVEN THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO HELL.
HELL WAS DESIGNED FOR SATAN AND HIS FOLLOWERS. AND YOU'RE NOT
GONNA GO THERE BECAUSE YOU MADE A DECISION TODAY TO SERVE JESUS.
AND THAT'S WORTH CELEBRATING OVER. SO WE'RE GONNA PRAY TODAY.
I WANT YOU TO JUST REPEAT AFTER ME, I'LL PHRASE THE PRAYER. IF
YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY, YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING RIGHT
WHERE YOU'RE AT AND MAKE A DECISION FOR JESUS AND IT'LL
CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER. YOU JUST REPEAT AFTER ME AS I PRAY.
FATHER IN HEAVEN. THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS. I BELIEVE.
HE WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY. HE DIED FOR ME. HE WAS BURIED.
AND HE ROSE AGAIN. ON THE THIRD DAY.
JESUS, I KNOW I HAVE SINNED. I'M ASKING
YOU, FORGIVE ME FOR SIN IN MY LIFE. COME INTO MY HEART AND
MAKE ME A NEW CREATURE. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. AND I WILL
SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. AMEN, AND BECAUSE YOU
PRAYED THAT TODAY, YOU'VE MADE THE INITIAL START TO SERVING
GOD. IT'S GONNA CHANGE YOUR HEART AND YOUR LIFE.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
SO KATHLEEN, IF YOU WOULD HELP GUIDE THEM,
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU SOME LITERATURE TODAY TO TAKE WITH
YOU AND HELP YOU IN YOUR WALK. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY,
YOU CAN CALL OUR PRAYER LINE. IT'S 855-777-7907, 24 HOURS A
DAY. OUR PRAYER COUNSELORS WILL BE THERE AND AVAILABLE TO HELP
YOU IN MAKING THAT DECISION AND WALKING THROUGH IT. WE'LL SEND
YOU THE SAME LITERATURE THAT WE'RE GIVING THESE THAT CAME
FORWARD TODAY. WELL, HOW MANY OF YOU, WHEN YOU CAME IN TODAY,
RECEIVED A COUPLE FLYERS, ONE OF THEM SAYS, "THE POWER OF AN
INVITATION." HOW MANY OF YOU RECEIVED THAT? DID ANYONE NOT
GET ONE OF THESE? RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU DIDN'T GET ONE. OUR
USHERS ARE GONNA SERVE YOU RIGHT NOW. I WANT EVERYONE IN THAT
PLACE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BROCHURES. IT SAYS, "THE POWER
OF AN INVITATION." I'M IMPLORING YOU TO DO SOMETHING THIS WEEK.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK? RAISE
YOUR HAND IF YOU GOT SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO THIS
WEEK. OKAY, I'M GONNA GO OUT ON A LIMB. I'M GONNA SAY ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK IS TO TAKE THIS
WITH YOU. HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE A MAGNET AT HOME. YOU CAN STICK
THIS ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND BE REMINDED OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT,
THIS COMING WEDNESDAY, IT'S THE LAST WEDNESDAY BEFORE OPENING
THE HEAVENS. IT'S THE ONLY WEDNESDAY BEFORE OPENING THE
HEAVENS THAT WE'RE GONNA MEET IN PERSON. AND I WANT YOU TO BE
HERE FOR AN HOUR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. I WANT THIS PLACE AS
PACKED WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW. AND WHY DO I SAY
THAT? WHY DO I SAY IT'S SO IMPORTANT? HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW,
WE CAN PUT THE MUSIC DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. EDDIE, IF WE CAN
JUST BRING THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. OKAY. THE REASON I SAY IT'S
SO IMPORTANT IS JESUS GAVE US A COMMAND IN MATTHEW 28. HE SAID,
"GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES." THAT'S NOT AN EASY COMMAND FOR PEOPLE
TO FOLLOW. WHY DO I SAY THAT? STATISTICS SAY THAT 80% OF
PEOPLE THAT WERE OR COULD BE INVITED TO CHURCH IN AMERICA
WOULD BE OPEN TO AN INVITATION, BUT ONLY 5% OF AMERICANS EVER
RECEIVE AN INVITATION TO CHURCH. THAT'S PART OF MAKING DISCIPLES.
THE CHURCH IS GOD'S WORK ON THIS EARTH, AND IF WE'RE NEVER
INVITING PEOPLE TO CHURCH, WE'RE NOT EVEN WORKING TOWARDS MAKING
DISCIPLES IN MANY CASES. I'M NOT SCOLDING YOU, I'M SAYING WE ALL
NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB. HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD SAY, "I NEED
TO DO A BETTER JOB MAKING DISCIPLES." I DON'T WANT TO GET
TO HEAVEN SOMEDAY AND HAVE JESUS SAY, "YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO
MAKE DISCIPLES FOR ME." I'M GIVING YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TODAY.
WE'RE GONNA LEARN, WE'RE GONNA WORSHIP, WE'RE GONNA PRAY, AND
WE'RE GONNA GET SOME INSTRUCTION THIS COMING WEDNESDAY NIGHT
ABOUT BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY. LET'S PUT UP THE PICTURE FOR
BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY. THAT'S SEPTEMBER 21ST. IT'S A BIG DAY
HERE AT LORD OF HOSTS. WE'RE GONNA INVITE PEOPLE TO COME TO
BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY. WHEN YOU'RE OPENING THE HEAVENS ON
SUNDAY THE 14TH, YOU'LL GET MORE INFORMATION AND YOU'LL GET YOUR
INVITATIONS. BUT THOSE THAT ARE HERE THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT,
YOU'RE GONNA GET THE INVITATIONS AND THE INSTRUCTION. YOU'RE THE
ARMY. THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS ARE THE ARMY
FOR THIS PLACE. AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE'RE GONNA
LEARN HOW TO DO IT. AND WE'RE GONNA UNDERSTAND THAT IT DOESN'T
REALLY MATTER IF YOU GET REJECTED. THE IMPORTANT THING IS
TO ASK. IF YOU NEVER ASK, YOU'LL NEVER GET ANYONE HERE. BUT JUST
THINK OF THIS. LET'S SAY YOU ASK FIVE PEOPLE TO COME TO BACK TO
CHURCH SUNDAY ON SEPTEMBER 21ST, AND ONE OF THEM SHOW. LET'S SAY
THAT ONE THAT SHOWS UP MAKES A DECISION FOR CHRIST AND THEN YOU
CHANGE THEIR LIFE. WHAT AN IMPACT THAT CAN HAVE. YOU MAY
NOT ONLY CHANGE THEIR LIFE, YOU COULD CHANGE THEIR FAMILY'S LIFE
AND THEIR CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE. YOU MIGHT INVITE SOMEONE HERE
THAT'S A POTENTIAL BILLY GRAHAM. YOU DON'T KNOW. YOU NEVER KNOW
WHO YOU'RE GOING TO INFLUENCE FOR CHRIST. THE THING IS, WE ALL
HAVE A CHANCE TO PLANT, TO SOW, AND WE HAVE A CHANCE TO WATER.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES. BUT WHATEVER YOU'RE INVOLVED IN
IN THAT PROCESS, GOD SEES IT AND HE'LL REWARD YOU FOR IT. SO HOW
MANY OF YOU WILL SAY, I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST TO BE HERE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 3, FOR ONE HOUR, BETWEEN 7 AND 8
O'CLOCK. I SEE A LOT OF HANDS. I THINK THERE'S A FEW MORE THAT
CAN RAISE YOUR HAND. YOU CAN PUT ASIDE EVERYTHING YOU CAN AND
COME THAT HOUR, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO REWARD YOU. WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE ICE CREAM IN THE CONNECT CENTER AFTERWARDS, SO YOU CAN'T
BEAT THAT. AND I PROMISE YOU, I'LL GET YOU OUT OF HERE AT 8
O'CLOCK. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT NIGHT THAT NIGHT AND WE
WANT YOU HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SO SAY THIS WITH ME. I'LL DO MY
BEST TO BE HERE SEPTEMBER 3RD, 7 P.M. NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AMEN.
AMEN. WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
WATCHING ONLINE, WE'LL HAVE A SPECIAL BROADCAST FOR YOU THIS
COMING WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BE BACK IN THE HOUSE OF GOD ON SUNDAY.
GOD BLESS YOU. HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND. I'M SORRY I KEPT YOU A
LITTLE LATE TODAY, BUT I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT
WEEKEND. BE BLESSED AND BE REFRESHED. WE'LL SEE YOU
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THANK YOU. (GENTLE MUSIC)
