- COME ON CHURCH, GET UP ON YOUR FEET THIS MORNING.
IF YOU'RE ONLINE, PUSH THAT COFFEE TABLE OUT THE WAY.
LET'S GET READY TO WORSHIP THE GOD OF EARTH.
GREAT, GREAT GOD, COME ON.
♪ YEAH ♪

WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU.
WE BLESS YOU, O GOD OF HEAVEN.

WILL, YOUR PLAN FOR OUR LIVES.
- YES. - AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT
LOVE GOD SAID, "AMEN."
- WOW. - WOW, THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.
AND I ACTUALLY HEARD THIS SECTION THIS MORNING.
SO YOU MUST HAVE PRACTICED LAST NIGHT
BECAUSE OF NEBRASKA WINNING.
IS THAT WHAT IT WAS
OK. ALL RIGHT, HEY,
THAT'S A FEW PEOPLE.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, I DIDN'T HEAR THIS SECTION.
SO I'M GOING TO DO IT ONE MORE TIME.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID--
- AMEN. - ALL RIGHT.
- THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.
- OK, THEY'RE AWAKE TODAY.
- YOU'RE AWAKE.
WELL, DID YOU NOTICE SOMETHING AS YOU WERE AWAKENED TODAY
DID YOU LOOK OUTSIDE AND SEE
WHAT DID YOU NOTICE
(CONGREGATION CHEERING)
- WHERE'S PASTOR MIKE OH, NO, PASTOR MIKE.
I STARTED SEEING, DON'T SAY THE WORD
BECAUSE THEN IT THINKS THAT IT CAN COME,
BUT HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW IT'S WHITE AND IT WAS FLOATING
AND IT WAS GOING LIKE THIS
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK, BRENDA
- I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, ALL I KNOW IS, FIRST OF ALL,
WE HAVE BISHOP KEITH BUTLER IN THE HOUSE TODAY.
- WE ARE SO EXCITED.
WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE HIM.
- HERE'S WHAT I KNOW.
THE LAST TIME THEY WERE HERE, ANYBODY REMEMBER THIS
WE HAD A SNOWSTORM.
AND I THINK LIKE 30 PEOPLE CAME TO CHURCH THAT DAY.
SO HE PREACHED LIKE THERE WERE 3000 PEOPLE IN THE ROOM,
BUT IT'S GONNA BE A BETTER DAY.
AND WE ARE SO EXCITED THAT HE AND HIS LOVELY WIFE,
DEBORAH, ARE HERE TODAY.
- WE ARE REALLY EXCITED.
SO LET'S GIVE AN HONOR AND HAND CLAP FOR THEM.
PRAISE GOD.
WELL, WE WANNA DO THIS.
WE WANNA WELCOME ALL OF YOU ALSO THAT ARE WATCHING
AROUND THE WORLD TODAY.
AND IT'S ALWAYS AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU.
LET US KNOW WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING FROM.
AND BY THE WAY, I KNOW A SNOWSTORM CAME THROUGH
LIKE NORTHERN IOWA, SOUTH DAKOTA, MINNESOTA,
I THINK PARTS OF WISCONSIN.
AND IF YOU ARE IN THAT THAT HAPPENED,
LET US KNOW HOW MUCH SNOW YOU GOT, PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS.
BUT HERE'S THE THING, I'M ALWAYS PREPARED.
HOW MANY KNOW WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS
SO BRENDA, I WANNA SHOW YOU AND OUR LOVELY AUDIENCE
WHAT YOU ARE GONNA BUY ME FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
- RIGHT THERE.
THAT IS WHAT I'M GETTING FROM BRENDA THIS YEAR.
- IS THAT EVEN REAL
- YES, IT IS REAL.
- THOSE CANNOT EXIST.
- HOW MANY OF YOU EVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE BEFORE
YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND UP.
AND THEN PUT IN THE COMMENTS, GO BRENDA, GO.
- I DON'T KNOW.
I MIGHT TRY TO SNOWBLOW IF I HAD THAT.
I MIGHT, I MIGHT.
- YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO THAT.
- BY THE WAY, PASTOR MATT SENDS HIS LOVE TODAY.
SO GUESS WHAT HE HAS BEEN DOING
DID Y'ALL NOTICE HE WAS KINDA ABSENT FROM IT
- HE'S USING UP ALL OF HIS VACATION.
- I KNOW, HE SAVES IT FOR THE END OF THE YEAR
AND THEN WE NEVER SEE HIM.
BUT, NOW THIS PROBABLY WON'T MATTER TO ANY OF THE WOMEN,
BUT HE SPENT ALL WEEKEND AT MICAH PARSONS' HOUSE.
AND IF YOU KNOW WHO HE IS, HE'S LIKE THE NUMBER
ONE PAID NFL PLAYER.
ANYBODY KNOW WHO MICAH IS
YOU KNOW, ALL OF YOU DALLAS FANS KNOW THAT
HE MOVED TO GREEN BAY.
WELL, ANYWAY, HE GETS TO WATCH THE PACKER GAME IN MICAH
PARSONS' SUITE TOMORROW NIGHT.
SO HE IS-- THAT'S GOOD.
AND HE SAID HE WAS UP AT GREEN BAY AND RAN,
SEE THERE ARE LOH GREEN BAY PACKER FANS.
HE RAN INTO LOHERS IN GREEN BAY.
AND THEY, SO ANYWAY, PASTOR MATT, I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING
AND ALL OF THE GREEN BAY PACKER FANS THAT YOU'RE WITH
AND ALL OF THE LOHERS THAT ARE THERE IN GREEN BAY.
SO THEY ALL SEND THEIR LOVE.
WE LOVE YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, LISTEN, ONE MORE THING.
I DON'T WANNA TAKE TOO MUCH TIME,
BUT I DO WANNA THANK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU
OF MINISTRY OF HELPS THAT PULLED OFF
THE OMAHA VICTORY CAMPAIGN, WHETHER IT BE THE
USHERS, THE GREETERS, ALL YOU MEDIA PEOPLE.
I KNOW SOME OF YOU WERE HERE A LITTLE BIT LATER LAST NIGHT
AND WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS

THERE'S NO ONE LIKE THE LORD.
FROM YOUR HEART, EXALT THE KING.
WITH YOUR PRAISE, MAGNIFY THE MAGNIFICENT GOD.
WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU.
THERE'S NO ONE LIKE THE LORD.
ALL RIGHT, JUST BEGIN TO SING TO HIM IN THE SPIRIT.
[MUSIC] (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
>> YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE IS WHAT MY HEART DESIRES THIS DAY.
AND I WILL SING AND I WILL BRING TO YOU, MY KING,
THE HONOR OF MY LOVE.
[SPEAKING IN TONGUES]
COME ON, LET YOUR VOICE RING TO THE KING.
WORTHY, WORTHY, WORTHY, WORTHY ARE YOU GOD.
WORTHY ARE YOU.
TO YOU, MY HEART, I SING, MY KING.
WE LAVISH YOU WITH OUR LOVE.
WE GIVE YOU THE SACRIFICE OF OUR PRAISE,
THE FRUIT OF OUR LIPS, GIVING THANKS.
THIS IS YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU ARE OUR GOD.
WORTHY, WORTHY.
[SPEAKING IN TONGUES]
- WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS THE GRATITUDE THAT IS
ON THE INSIDE OF US.
OH, GREAT GOD.
WORTHY IS THE LAMB.
- NOW LET'S RAISE UP OUR VOICE TO HIM AGAIN.
- DO YOU HEAR THAT FROM YOUR CHILDREN WHO LOVE
YOU AND HONOR YOU
YOU'RE THE BEST, GOD.
YOU'RE THE MOST AWESOME, AMAZING GOD.
AND WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT TODAY.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT, MY LORD.
COME ON, WITH THE INSTRUMENTS, LIFT UP THE INSTRUMENTS.
COME ON, LET'S BEGIN TO PRAISE GOD ON THE INSTRUMENTS.
THE SOUND OF THE INSTRUMENTS PRAISING GOD.
INTO THE HEAVENS, AS IT FILLS THE EARTH WITH YOUR PRAISE.
AND OVER THIS NATION, AS THERE IS A NEW SOUND,
BEING RELEASED INTO THE EARTH.
INTO THE EARTH, INTO THE EARTH.
IT IS NOT A SOUND OF A SHUTDOWN.
IT IS THE SOUND OF AN OPEN HEAVEN OVER THE EARTH.
YOU MARKED OUR SHUTDOWN, GOD, HA HA!
BECAUSE THE HEAVENS ARE OPEN!
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
I SPEAK TO YOU AT THIS TIME, SAYS THE LIVING GOD,
FOR THERE ARE MEN WHO LISTEN WITH THEIR EARS,
BUT THEY LISTEN WRONG.
FOR I SAID IN MY WORD, BE WISE ON HOW YOU HEAR,
AND LET THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR, HEAR WHAT THE
SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD SAY UNTO THIS AND TO THIS HOUR.
FOR THERE IS A PROVERB IN YOUR LAND, UNITED STATES, AND
THERE IS A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
I LAUGH, I MOCK, AND I WAIT WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION OF WHAT I
HAVE PLANNED AND WHAT SHALL COME AND FILL THE EARTH
AND THIS NATION.
YOU WATCH AND YOU SEE, FOR YOU SHALL SEE.
FOR IT IS AND IT SHALL BE AS IN THE DAYS WHEN
GOLIATH STOOD BEFORE A NATION ISRAEL THAT PARALYZED
WITH FEAR THE KING, THE WARRIORS AND THOSE WHO
GOVERNED AND THEY WERE SHUT DOWN AND FOR 40 DAYS AND
FOR 40 NIGHTS THINGS WERE SHUT DOWN AND IT LOOKED AS
THOUGH THERE WAS NO VICTORY IN SIGHT.
WHY IS THIS YOUR PERSPECTIVE IN THE EARTH
DO YOU THINK THOSE IN THEIR
FOOLISHNESS HAVE THE POWER IN THEIR FOOLISHNESS AND
LIMITED UNDERSTANDING TO STOP OR TO SHUT DOWN WHAT I
HAVE PURPOSE AND WHAT I HAVE ORDAINED TO ANSWER THE PRAYERS
OF A FEW WHO HAVE PRAYED IN THIS TIME.
FOR I HAVE SAID IN MY WORD, I TAKE AWAY THE
OLD TO ESTABLISH THE NEW.
AND THIS IS WHAT I HAVE PLANNED.
AND I HAVE PROCLAIMED IN MY SCRIPTURES, THE PRINCIPLE,
SPEAKING OF THE FLESH AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
BUT LET THOSE WHO ARE IN FEAR AND
LIMITED IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT OF
GOD SAYS.
FIRST THE NATURAL,
THEN THE SPIRITUAL.
WHY DO I SPEAK THIS
BECAUSE THEY SAY YOUR GOVERNMENT OF 40
DAYS, THEY WILL SAY, HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN.
I SAY FIRST THE NATURAL, JUST LIKE IN THE
DAYS OF ISRAEL.
FOR 40 DAYS AND NIGHTS,
FIRST THE NATURAL, UNTIL I AROSE IN THE SPIRIT, AND
THE HEAD OF GOLIATH WAS CUT OFF, NOT BY MAN'S MIGHT OR
POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT.
AND THERE WAS A FIERY FURNACE
WHEN THE DOOR WAS SHUT, AND THEY WERE SHUT IN.
AND SEVEN TIMES HOTTER THE FIRE
WAS GREAT.
SURELY THERE WOULD BE NO GOOD OUTCOME.
AND SO THIS IS THE PROVERB OF SOME IN THIS LAND.
BUT WHAT DID I DO
FIRST THE NATURAL, BUT THEN THE FOURTH
MAN I AROSE AND I QUENCHED THE FIRE AND OPENED UP
THAT WHICH WAS SHUT DOWN OF THE FURNACE.
I SPEAK THIS BECAUSE WHILE YOU SAY A SHUTDOWN WE ARE
FINISHED. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE
FIRST YOUR NATURAL, NOW I AND THE SPIRIT SAYS
THE LIVING GOD SHALL SHUT DOWN.
THE EFFORTS, THE PLANS, THE AGENDA, THE INTENT,
THE CHAOS, THE DIVISION, THE STRIFE, THE PURPOSEFUL INTENT
TO HARM THE INNOCENT OF THIS NATION.
I WILL SHUT IT DOWN AS THINGS WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT
IN THE 26 OF WHAT MANY HAVE PROCLAIMED AS THE FIX.
YOU WATCH FIRST THE NATURAL.
NOW I SHALL ARISE IN THE SPIRIT
AND I WILL SHUT DOWN THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS
WHO THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD CONTINUE THEIR AGENDA.
WATCH HOW THINGS WILL SHIFT TOWARDS VICTORY, TOWARDS
THE NEW, AND THAT WHICH WILL OPEN.
AND YOU'LL SEE IT IN YOUR LAWS, YOUR
LEGISLATION, YOU WILL SEE IT IN YOUR SCHOOLS, YOUR
UNIVERSITIES, YOU WILL SEE IT IN YOUR ECONOMY AND
ACCELERATION, AS THINGS WILL NOT BE SHUT DOWN OR
HINDERED, BUT THEY WILL OPEN AND THERE WILL BE A FRESH
BREATH THAT WILL BLOW OF MY BREATH OF GRACE AS MY
GOODNESS PASSES OVER THE EARTH.
BUT DO NOT BE FOOLED, FOR AS I PASS OVER THE EARTH
AND OVER THIS NATION, MY JUDGMENTS ARE IN THE EARTH.
AND YOU WILL SEE WHILE THINGS
OPEN, OTHERS AND OTHER THINGS WILL BE SHUT DOWN AND EXPOSED
AS MY JUDGMENT SHALL COME AND MY RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE
SEEN, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
COME ON, WORSHIP HIM.
♪ WORTHY IS THE LAMB.
COME ON, ALL OVER THE WORLD NOW, WORSHIP HIM.
♪ WHO'S SEATED ON THE THRONE.
LET IT BE DONE ACCORDING TO YOUR UTTERANCE.
LET IT BE DONE ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.
♪ GIVING PRAISE TO HIM AND HIM ALONE.
THINGS ARE OPENING FOR THE PEOPLE.
IN EVERYONE IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, WHAT HAS BEEN
SHUT DOWN IN THEIR LIFE,
I COMMAND IN THE AUTHORITY OF THE GREAT I AM,
THAT EVERY DEVIL, EVERY DEMON, EVERY PRINCIPALITY IN POWER,
EVERY SATANIC AGENDA AGAINST YOUR LIFE,
EVERY WITCH AND WARLOCK THAT THINK THAT THEY COULD ARISE
TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY ARE BEING SHUT
DOWN, RESTRAINED, CUT OFF, STUFFED IN THE AUTHORITY
OF YESHUA'S NAME.
AND IN THE OPENING OF GOD, AND HIS GRACE HAS COME.
COME ON, WORSHIP HIM.
ONE LAST TIME, WORSHIP HIM.
WORSHIP LIKE YOU BELIEVE IT.
WORSHIP HIM.
WE GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AND YOU ALONE.
THANK YOU, LORD.
COME ON, LIFT UP HANDS OF HONOR.
ALL OVER THE WORLD, WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING, LIFT YOUR HANDS.
COME ON, LET GOD BEGIN.
YOU INHABIT YOUR PRAISE, YOUR HOUSE, COME ON,
YOUR LIFE, YOUR MARRIAGE, YOUR PLANETS, IT'S YOUR BODY.
YOUR CHILDREN.
HERE'S WHAT I WANT US TO DO.
I WANT US TO BE SILENT FOR JUST A MINUTE.
WHEN I COUNT TO THREE, I WANT YOU TO DECLARE THE NAME OF
THE LORD AS LOUD AS YOU CAN.
AND LET THE HEAVENS RELEASE
THE PETITIONS AND THE PRAYERS THAT YOU HAVE REQUESTED.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
YESHUA!
YESHUA! COME ON, SHOUT!
SHOUT! YESHUA!
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU, LORD!
HALLELUJAH, JESUS!
THANK YOU, LORD.
NOW DO THIS, GIVE 'EM A BIG OLD KISS.
WE BLOW A KISS TO YOU IN YOUR HONOR.
HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE GOD
HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE THESE GUYS
THIS IS THE NEXT GENERATION.
HEY, YOU GUYS DID GREAT, MAN.
ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.
I WANT YOU TO, MAN, I FEEL THE ANOINTING UP HERE.
I CAN HARDLY STAND, MY LORD.
WOO.
THANK YOU, GOD.
HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.
I WANT YOU TO GREET ONE ANOTHER, AND I WANT YOU TO
SAY, "I BET I KNOW,
I KNOW
WHO YOUR FAVORITE
BIBLE CHARACTER IS."
AND YOU CAN'T SAY JESUS.
AND IF THEY DON'T SAY, IF THEY SAY, "I DON'T KNOW,"
THEN SAY, "I BET I KNOW WHO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO MORE,
PASTOR HANK OR PASTOR BRENDA," AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.
ALL RIGHT, GREET ONE ANOTHER IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

AN ONLINE HAND AS MY LOVELY WIFE AND PASTOR CHELSEA KUMP.
- ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GETTING READY
OR GEARED UP FOR CHRISTMAS
MAYBE SOME OF YOU ALREADY PUT YOUR TREE UP.
WELL, I, YOU KNOW, MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW,
OF COURSE I DO ALREADY HAVE MY TREE UP
'CAUSE I'M IN THE CHRISTMAS SEASON IN MY HEART.
BUT I WANNA LET MOST OF YOU THAT PROBABLY DON'T KNOW
IS I HAVE THE HONOR OF SERVING ON THE BOARD
OF HEARTLAND HOPE MISSION.
AND I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH PASTOR CHELSEA
BECAUSE WITH THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN COMING
OR HAVING BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG,
THE MISSION IS SEEING A LARGE INCREASE IN DEMAND.
SO WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO DO A LITTLE BIT
OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH OUR ADOPTIVE FAMILY.
I KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE SO FAITHFUL TO HELP
AND ADOPT FAMILIES AT CHRISTMAS TIME,
BUT WE'RE GONNA COMBINE THAT THIS YEAR, PASTOR CHELSEA,
WITH A DIAPER DRIVE.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
WHAT ALL YOU GUYS NEED OUT THERE AT HEARTLAND HOPE
- YEAH, SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T AWARE,
WE OPERATE ONE OF THE LARGEST FOOD PANTRIES IN THE STATE,
AND FRIDAY OUR NUMBERS WERE UP 83%.
SO PART OF WHAT WE DO, WE'RE PRO-LIFE,
SO WE WANT PARENTS TO HAVE WHAT THEY NEED
SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR KIDS.
SO WE NEED DIAPERS, FORMULA, AND WIPES,
AND WE HAVE ON THE GRAPHIC THE SPECIFIC FORMULAS
AND DIAPER SIZES, WE REALLY NEED THOSE BIGGER SIZES,
FOUR AND FIVE RIGHT NOW.
SO YOU'RE ABLE TO DROP THOSE OFF AT THE CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY,
I THINK THE NEXT TWO SUNDAYS.
WE WILL GLADLY TAKE THOSE, AND THEY WILL GO OUT AS
SOON AS THEY COME IN.
SO THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US ON THAT.
AND THEN FOR CHRISTMAS, WE ARE ON TRACK
TO SERVE OVER 9,000 KIDS THIS YEAR
BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED NEED IN THE COMMUNITY.
- YEAH, SO WHAT MY FAMILY IS PLANNING ON DOING,
AND I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THE SAME,
NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO BE ADOPTING A FAMILY,
BUT WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING TO OURS SOME DIAPERS,
SOME FORMULA, AND SOME WIPES, JUST SO THAT WHEN WE'RE
BRINGING ALL OF THOSE THINGS, WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY
TO BLESS OUR COMMUNITY AND JUST REALLY BE THE
ARMS OF JESUS EXTENDED.
SO IF YOU NEED THAT INFORMATION AGAIN,
GO OUT TO HEARTLANDHOPE.ORG, AND YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THE
INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED FOR THE TYPE OF
DIAPERS, THE SIZES, WHAT TYPE OF FORMULA THEY NEED,
AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY WANTS
THE DIAPER WIPES.
SO, ALL RIGHT, AMEN.
WELL, LET'S WELCOME PASTOR BRENDA.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
- AMEN, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
LET'S DO THIS FOR PEOPLE IN NEED AND BE THE HANDS AND FEET
OF JESUS EXTENDED, AMEN
ALL RIGHT, WELL, JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS,
AND YES, JUST FOR THE RECORD, I DO HAVE MY CHRISTMAS TREE UP.
IN FACT, I PUT IT UP ON THE DAY THAT THE DEVIL TRIED TO
CLAIM, OCTOBER THE 31ST, BUT WE TAKE IT BACK
AND WE PUT OUT CHRIST.
I'M TELLING YOU, WE HAD OUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
ON OUR HOUSE BEFORE THAT DAY, AND WE PUT THEM ON BRIGHTLY
THAT NIGHT, I'M TELLING YOU.
SO, AMEN.
ALL RIGHT, JUST A COUPLE QUICK THINGS.
WE'RE GONNA GET INTO THE OFFERING.
WE WANNA GET BISHOP UP TO PREACH AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I JUST WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY, THIS THURSDAY WE HAVE
NEW MEMBERS CLASS.
SO IF YOU ARE PRAYING ABOUT OR THINKING LORD OF HOSTS
IS THE CHURCH FAMILY FOR YOU, WELL, I ENCOURAGE YOU
TO BE PART OF THAT.
THERE'S INFORMATION OUT AT THE INFORMATION CENTER,
BUT THAT WILL BE THIS THURSDAY.
AND THEN JUST AROUND THE CORNER, NEW YEAR'S EVE
AT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH.
ARE YOU EXCITED FOR IT
CAN YOU BELIEVE WE'RE ALMOST HERE
PEOPLE SAY IT SEEMS LIKE YOU JUST SKIPPED PAST CHRISTMAS.
NO, WE HAVE AMAZING CHRISTMAS HERE AT LORD OF
HOSTS, BUT PEOPLE TRAVEL HERE FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE.
IT'S WHY WE HAVE TO MENTION IT SO EARLY.
SO THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE COMING, THERE ARE
HOTEL BLOCKS AVAILABLE.
YOU CAN CHECK THAT OUT ON OUR WEBSITE.
AND ALL THAT INFORMATION IS OUT THERE FOR THOSE OF YOU
THAT ARE COMING IN TOWN.
AND REMEMBER, NEW YEAR'S EVE, WE ANOINT EVERYBODY
THAT'S IN PERSON WITH OIL.
AND WE ALSO PRAY OVER ALL THE PRAYER REQUESTS
FOR THE NEW YEAR.
WE ANOINT THOSE WITH OIL.
AND WE'LL BE MAKING LITTLE BOTTLES OF OIL

AND WE'LL PRAY OVER THE OIL THAT NIGHT.
SO BE HERE, BE PART OF THAT.
GET YOUR PRAYER REQUEST IN, GO TO HANKANDBRENDA.ORG,
AND YOU CAN SUBMIT THOSE, AND OF COURSE,
YOU'LL BE GETTING THINGS IN THE MAIL ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
BUT JUST WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU, MAKE PLANS NOW,
AND ALREADY, I HAVE TO TELL YOU A REALLY QUICK,
FUNNY STORY ABOUT NEW YEAR'S EVE.
FEW YEARS AGO, WELL, IT'S BEEN QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO NOW,
WE WERE, IN FACT, I WANNA SAY ALMOST 10 YEARS OR SO,
WE'VE DONE NEW YEAR'S EVE FOR A LONG TIME.
AND I REMEMBER WE HAD ONE OF THOSE NEBRASKA COLD SNAPS.
I MEAN, HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THIS
A FEW OF YOU DO.
AND IT WAS GONNA BE LIKE 20 BELOW FAHRENHEIT.
AND PEOPLE WERE LIKE, CAN WE REALLY ALL COME
OUT ON NEW YEAR'S EVE
AND OUR SON, JOHN, AT THAT TIME, HE GOES,
MOM, IS THAT SAFE
IS EVERYONE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, THEY GOTTA BRING THEIR KIDS.
AND YOU KNOW, HE HAD A VALID POINT.
AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LIKE,
LORD, WHAT ARE WE, WHAT TO DO
WELL, I HAD TO RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE THAT DAY
JUST TO GRAB SOMETHING VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
AND I RAN IN AND I SEE, I MEAN, THE STORE IS PACKED.
AND PEOPLE, AND YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE
HAVE BREAD AND EGGS IN THEIR CART.
NO, IT WAS FILLED WITH ALCOHOL.
THEY HAD, YOU KNOW, CASES OF BEER AND ALCOHOL AND WINE
AND ALL OF THESE THINGS, JUST THEIR CARTS WERE OVERFLOWING.
THEY WERE GONNA HAVE NEW YEAR'S EVE NO MATTER THE WEATHER.
AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S IT, DEVIL.
DON'T, HOW DARE YOU.
IF THE WORLD CAN GET OUT THERE, NO MATTER THE TEMPERATURE,
WE, THE PEOPLE OF GOD, WILL HAVE IT.
NOW, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T A BLIZZARD,
BUT YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT'VE CHANGED THINGS A LITTLE BIT
'CAUSE IT'S HARD TO DRIVE.
BUT WE ARE GONNA HAVE AN AWESOME NEW YEAR'S EVE
SERVICE THIS YEAR, AND WE ARE DECLARING WHAT
GOD'S BEEN SAYING OVER 2026.
IT'S A TIME FOR A SHIFT AND A CHANGE IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN
SO MAKE PLANS FOR THAT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP.
WE WILL RECEIVE A SPECIAL OFFERING
FOR BISHOP BUTLER AT THE END OF THE SERVICE.
SO YOU CAN BE A PART OF THAT.
BUT LET'S CONTINUE FROM, AND THIS JUST SO GOES ALONG
WITH THAT PROPHETIC WORD.
THIS IS THE PSALM, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU
TO DO THE SAME THING.
THIS IS THE PSALM THAT I'VE BEEN STUDYING
JUST IN MY PERSONAL TIME.
PSALM 20, THE WHOLE PSALM IS AMAZING.
I WON'T READ IT ALL TODAY.
BUT VERSE ONE SAYS, "THE LORD HEAR THEE."
SOMEBODY SAY, "GOD WILL HEAR ME."
- GOD WILL HEAR ME.
- IN THE DAY OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS.
OR WHATEVER THE OTHER TROUBLE MIGHT BE,
WHATEVER THE CHALLENGE IS.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN OPEN YOUR BANK APP RIGHT NOW
AND IT'LL SAY, ARE YOU AFFECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE AFFECTED.
THEY'RE NOT GETTING PAID RIGHT NOW.
BUT WATCH THIS, IT SAID, THE LORD WILL HEAR THEE
IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE.
NOW, BROTHER COPELAND, IF YOU WERE HERE,
THURSDAY NIGHT BROUGHT OUT, HE WENT TO 1 JOHN 5,
WHERE IT SAYS THAT IF YOU KNOW, IF YOU ASK ANYTHING
ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL, THIS IS VERSES 14 AND 15,
IF YOU ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,
WELL, WHAT HAVE WE ALWAYS SAID
HIS WILL IS FOUND WHERE
IT'S FOUND IN THE WORD OF GOD.
THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUESTION IF GOD WANTS YOU WELL,
BECAUSE GOD HAS HAD A HEALING COVENANT ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE
STARTING AT THE VERY BEGINNING ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
SO WE KNOW FROM THE WORD, IT'S GOD'S WILL TO HEAL.
WE ALSO KNOW IT'S GOD'S WILL TO PROSPER.
IT'S GOD'S WILL TO BLESS.
IT'S GOD'S WILL TO, COME ON SOMEBODY, TO SUPPLY FOR YOU.
AND SO WE KNOW THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,
THAT HE HEARS US.
ISN'T IT GOOD TO KNOW IF GOD IS LISTENING
YOU KNOW, I SAID LAST WEEK, IF WE KNEW THE OUTCOME
OF SOMETHING, RIGHT
IF YOU KNEW 100% THE OUTCOME OF SOMETHING,
WE WOULD NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT SO MANY THINGS.
IT'S LIKE ONE FRENCH PHILOSOPHER ONCE SAID ONE TIME,
HE SAID, "MY LIFE IS FILLED WITH TERRIBLE MISFORTUNE,
"MOST OF WHICH NEVER HAPPENED."
BUT WHY IS THAT
WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE WE WORRY ABOUT THINGS
WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT.
IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE, WE CAN TRUST THAT GOD HEARS US.
AND IF WE KNOW THE BIBLE SAID THAT HE HEARS US,
THEN WE KNOW WE HAVE THE PETITIONS WE DESIRE OF HIM.
PUT UP VERSE TWO.
AND SEND THEE HELP FROM THE SANCTUARY.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S STRENGTH IN THE CHURCH.
THERE'S STRENGTH IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.
YOU CAME IN WEAK TODAY, THERE'S A BELIEVER BESIDE YOU
THAT'S FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST
AND THERE IS STRENGTH COMING OUT OF THEIR SPIRIT.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO BE IN THE CHURCH HOUSE.
SOMEBODY SAID ONE TIME, WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE
INSTITUTIONALIZED CHURCH.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH.
GOING TO CHURCH DOESN'T MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN.
OKAY.
AND I THOUGHT, WELL, IT'LL SURE MAKE YOU A BETTER ONE.
THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE'RE CONNECTED
TO THE LORD'S PEOPLE IN HIS HOUSE.
AMEN. NOW WATCH THE NEXT VERSE.
IT'S A SHORT PSALM.
AND THE LORD, HERE'S THE PART I WANT YOU TO SEE,
THE LORD WILL REMEMBER ALL, NOT SOME,
THE LORD WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR OFFERINGS.
COME ON, IF YOU'RE A GIVER, IF YOU SOW,
IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE, GOD HEARS YOU
BECAUSE YOU PUT SEED, WOO, YOU'VE GOT SEED UP IN HEAVEN.
COME ON, YOUR TIME HAS GONE BEFORE YOU.
YOUR OFFERINGS HAVE GONE AND MADE THE WAY.
WELL, PASTOR BRENDA, I'M NOT GETTING A PAYCHECK RIGHT NOW.
I'M A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.
I'M NOT GETTING ANY MONEY.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO
YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO
I WOULD HOLD UP MY PHONE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE
AN ELECTRONIC GIVER.
I'D GET OUT MY BANK STATEMENT.
I'D SAY, LORD, I'M HOLDING UP.
SEE THESE OFFERINGS THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE ME
I'M STANDING, I'M HOLDING THEM UP,
AND THE WORD SAYS YOU'LL REMEMBER
EVERY SINGLE OFFERING I'VE GIVEN.
SO I UPHOLD IT BEFORE YOU.
NOW WATCH THIS, GO TO VERSE FOUR.
AND HE WILL GRANT YOU.
COME ON, NOTICE THE GRANTING IS AFTER THE OFFERING.
HE'LL GRANT YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR HEART.
THAT MEANS HE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR HEART'S DESIRES.
HOW MANY OF YOU WERE HERE WHEN JONATHAN SHUTTLESWORTH
WAS SAYING, GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE THINGS YOU WANT,
NOT JUST WHAT YOU NEED.
DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ALL BE CONDEMNED.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE A NEW CAR, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE
DEVIL TRIED TO MAKE HUMILITY AND POVERTY GO TOGETHER.
NOW THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU HAVE MONEY, DON'T FLAUNT IT.
OKAY, CHARGE THEM.
HE SAID TO TIMOTHY, THOSE THAT BE RICH IN THIS WORLD,
NOT TO BE HIGH MINDED ABOUT IT.
DON'T DO THAT.
OKAY, BE HUMBLE WITH IT.
BUT AT THE SAME POINT, HUMILITY AND POVERTY
DON'T GO TOGETHER.
POVERTY IS A CURSE.
HEY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE DIAPERS AND FORMULA TO GIVE YOUR BABY,
THAT'S A CURSE.
HALLELUJAH. SO HE'LL GRANT YOU
ACCORDING TO YOUR HEART, THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.
NOW, SOME OF THOSE ARE NEEDS, BUT IT'S WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART.
AND WATCH THIS, AND HE'LL FULFILL ALL YOUR COUNSEL.
IN OTHER WORDS, HE WILL LEAD YOU WHERE YOU'RE TO GO.
THAT WHICH YOU HAVE SET YOUR MIND ON, GOD WILL FULFILL.
LOOK AT VERSE FIVE.
AND WE WILL THEN REJOICE IN THY SALVATION.
IN OTHER WORDS, WE ALREADY HAVE THE VICTORY.
AND IN THE NAME OF OUR GOD, AND WE WILL SET UP
OUR VICTORY BANNERS.
THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.
WE WILL ALREADY WAVE THE FLAG OF VICTORY.
IT'S WHY I LOVE OUR LITTLE FLAGGING TROOP IN HERE.
JUST LETTING THE DEVIL KNOW WE'VE GOT VICTORY ALREADY.
BUT HERE'S THE LAST PART.
AND THE LORD, OOH, COME ON, READ IT AND WEEP, DEVIL.
THE LORD, SOMEBODY SAY THE LORD.
SAY IT AGAIN JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.
THE LORD WILL FULFILL JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR PRAYERS.
THE LORD WILL JUST FULFILL A FEW OF YOUR PETITIONS.
NO, I SAID THE LORD WILL FULFILL, HALLELUJAH,
ALL OF YOUR PETITIONS.
COME ON, WHEN YOU PUT IT UP BEFORE GOD,
THOSE OFFERINGS HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU
AND THEY ARE BRINGING AN ANSWER TO PRAYER.
SO GIVE WITH CONFIDENCE TODAY.
GIVE WITH FAITH TODAY.
TITHE WITH FAITH, 'CAUSE GOD'S GOT IT ALL TAKEN CARE OF.
IS THAT GOOD PREACHING
(CONGREGATION CHEERING)
LET'S PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN.
ALL OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GIVE ARE THERE,

I'M TELLING YOU, YOU ARE A BLESSING
TO ALL OF US AROUND THE WORLD.
AND YEAH, WE MEET SOME DALLAS FANS TOO.
BUT PASTOR AND I, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS,
WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR YOU.
YOU HELPED BUILD A $20 MILLION BUILDING.
AND BY THE WAY, AVL, OUR LAST PAYMENT
ON ALL THIS AVL IS NEXT MONDAY, AND WE ARE DONE.
(CONGREGATION CHEERING)
GIVE JESUS A HAND.
SO YOU HAD TO MAKE, I'M TELLING YOU,
THERE IS $5 MILLION OF AVL IN THIS FACILITY.
THE CORDS IN THE BACK WILL RUN ALL THE WAY
TO KANSAS CITY AND BACK.
BUT YOU KNOW WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
'CAUSE WE BELIEVE, I WAS TELLING SOMEBODY LAST NIGHT
AS YOU'RE GETTING YOUR GIVING READY,
A PASTOR THAT WAS HERE, I SAID, INTERNET IS A WAY TO
INVEST IN THE HARVEST.
AND IF PEOPLE, IT'S HARD TO LISTEN TO
BECAUSE THE SOUND IS SO BAD, THEY CAN'T WATCH.
AND SO INTERNET, YOU HELP TAKE CARE OF THAT.
AND THAT IS INVESTING IN PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS TO CONTINUE.
AND WE'VE GOT MORE PROJECTS TO DO, MORE THINGS.
I KNOW I KEEP TELLING YOU WE'VE GOT NEW INVESTMENTS
THAT ARE ON THE WAY.
SO WE'LL SAY, HOW DO I BE PART OF THAT, PASTOR BRENDA
WELL, GIVE TO THE BUILDING PROJECT.
WE'RE GONNA GET IT DONE IN JESUS' NAME,
AND WE'RE GONNA GO INTO 2026 WITH NEW THINGS,
PUTTING OUR HAND TO THE PLOW AND NOT LOOKING BACK
FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
ALL RIGHT, STAND IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR OFFERING READY,
YOUR TITHE, HOLD IT UP.
IT'S THE BEST DAY IN THE WORLD TO BE A TITHER.
HOLD IT HIGH.
HOLD YOUR PHONE, INTERNET, HOLD YOUR DEVICE,
HOLD YOUR PHONE AND LOOK AT ME WHILE YOU HOLD IT UP.
SAY THESE WORDS, SAY, LORD, I THANK YOU.
YOU'RE NOT JUST GRANTING A FEW PETITIONS,
YOU'RE GRANTING ALL MY PETITIONS.
SO LORD, I'M ASKING YOU TODAY TO REMEMBER ALL MY OFFERINGS.
AND I THANK YOU THAT EVERY OFFERING IS PRODUCING
AN ABUNDANT HARVEST.
LORD, THAT WHICH IS IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW,
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
THAT WHICH IS IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW IS GOING BEFORE ME,
AND IT IS MAKING THE PATHWAY IN THE DAY OF HARDSHIP.
AND I THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
ARE YOU READY TO DO OUR DECREE TOGETHER
ARE YOU READY
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DECLARE IT.
ALL TOGETHER NOW, WE DECLARE THE CAMPUS AND MINISTRY
OF LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH SHALL BE INCREASED,

GOD BLESS YOU.
- AMEN, USHERS, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND USH.
THANK YOU ALSO, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING
FOR YOUR GIVING, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED
AS THE USHERS SERVE YOU.
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION SOMETHING THAT I'M VERY EXCITED
ABOUT VERY QUICKLY.
I DON'T WANNA-- - OH, YES.
- WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WOULD YOU TELL 'EM REAL QUICK,
YOU'RE GONNA BE SPEAKING FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
VERY QUICKLY.
- OH, YES.
NEXT TWO WEDNESDAY NIGHTS, I FELT THE LORD TELL ME
THAT WE'RE GONNA KINDA GO A LITTLE END TIMES ON WEDNESDAY,
AND WE'RE GONNA TALK, DO A TWO-PART SERIES
ON THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF REVELATION.
YOU DON'T WANNA MISS IT, IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING.
- YOU'RE GONNA DO A GREAT JOB.
- AND I'M GONNA HAVE FUN, I LOVE THIS STUFF.
- HOW MANY ARE GONNA COME OUT HERE, PASTOR BRENDA
- IT'LL BE AWESOME.
- AND I CAN'T WAIT.
- I'M EXCITED.
- I WON'T BE HERE, I'M GONNA COME.
SO I'VE GOT FLASHPOINT ON TUESDAY.
HEY, I WANNA MENTION ONE THING.
SO HOW MANY OF YOU, AS THEY'RE SERVING THE PEOPLE,
THIS GIVES YOU TIME TO GIVE.
SO YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT FOUR DOGS.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DOGS
HOW MANY OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING HAVE DOGS
SO WE HAVE FOUR DOGS.
- HOW MANY HAVE FOUR DOGS
- SO WE HAVE, I WANNA SAY THIS, 'CAUSE THIS GIVES
ME, I'M FEELING TIME, BUT I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.
SO WE HAVE THREE GERMAN SHEPHERDS
AND A LITTLE SHIH TZU THAT I DIDN'T LIKE AT FIRST.
AND THEY SAY THAT DOGS BARK AN AVERAGE OF 500 TIMES A DAY.
SO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IT IS FOR FOUR DOGS
- A LOT.
- NO, THAT'S 2,000, BRENDA.
BUT THEN AGAIN, 500 TIMES A DAY, IT'S JUST A ROUGH ESTIMATE.
SO I JUST THOUGHT I'D-- I'M LEAVING.
--LET YOU KNOW THAT.
SO JUST A ROUGH ESTIMATE.
JUST A ROUGH ESTIMATE, I TELL YOU.
JUST A ROUGH-- I HAD TO FILL SOME TIME
WHILE YOU GUYS WERE GIVING.
ANYWAY, WELL, LISTEN, IT IS MY HONOR
TO INTRODUCE OUR WONDERFUL GUEST.
AND I TELL YOU, WHEN I TELL YOU, I
THINK HE IS ONE OF THE MOST ANOINTED PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET,
ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC SPEAKERS, APOSTLES.
HE HAS BUILT SO MANY WORKS ACROSS THIS GREAT PLANET,
BUT HE ALSO HAS A TREMENDOUS TEACHING GIFT, PASTORAL GRACE,
BUT ALSO HE HAS A PROPHETIC ANOINTING THAT COMES ON HIM.
AND IT IS ALWAYS MY HONOR WHENEVER HE DOES INVITE ME
TO COME UP TO HIS CHURCH IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN,
AND IT IS A BIG CHURCH.
I MEAN, HE'S TALKING ABOUT A BIG CHURCH.
IT'S A BIG CHURCH.
BUT IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME BECAUSE HE HAS SUCH A VAST GRACE
AND SUCH A VAST ANOINTING.
PASTOR DEBORAH, IT'S SUCH AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE.
AND I TELL YOU WHAT, I WANT YOU TO STAND TO YOUR FEET
AND I WANT YOU TO DO TWO THINGS.
I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM HE'S A DETROIT LION FAN.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
HOW MANY DETROIT LION FANS ARE IN HERE
TELL HIM WE LOVE YOU.
WE LOVE THE LION OF JUDAH.
(LAUGHING)
BUT I WANT YOU TO GIVE A BIG OMAHA WELCOME
TO BISHOP KEITH BUTLER AND THOSE OF YOU
THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE AS HE COMES.
(CHEERING)
- HALLELUJAH.
- GOD IS GOOD.
AM I ON
ALL RIGHT, GOD IS GOOD.
ALL THE TIME.
AMEN, PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA, PRAISE GOD.
THEY ARE JUST TREMENDOUS.
YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE PASTORS LIKE THIS.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
YOU KNOW, THE LORD USES US TO PLANT CHURCHES.
SO THE LORD'S HAD US DO IT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
AND EUROPE AND AFRICA IS WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO MINISTER.
AND PEOPLE WHO WRITE ME, THEY WRITE ME,
"WILL YOU PLANT A CHURCH"
I'M TALKING ABOUT IN THE UNITED STATES.
"WILL YOU PLANT A CHURCH IN THIS CITY OR THIS TOWN OR WHATEVER"
AND THEY SAY, "WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE REALLY HERE
TO REAL CHURCH TO BLESS US."
AND WHEN PEOPLE FIRST STARTED DOING THAT TO ME,
I WAS VERY SURPRISED.
THE UNITED STATES, THERE'S GOT TO BE,
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF CHURCHES.
BUT THERE ARE CHURCHES AND THEN THERE ARE CHURCHES.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AMEN, I'M TELLING YOU THAT BECAUSE RIGHT HERE IN OMAHA,
Y'ALL GOT A CHURCH, HALLELUJAH.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AND YOU ARE BLESSED.
RECENTLY, OF COURSE, WE HAD YOUR PASTOR UP,
HE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT AT OUR CONVENTION IN OCTOBER.
AND OF COURSE, HE HAS THAT PROPHETIC GIFT.
AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT'S GOING ON,
AND I MISSED IT RIGHT NOW, I WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT.
BUT THERE'S SOME CHANGES THAT'S HAPPENING.
WELL, I KNOW THAT 2026 IS A YEAR OF CHANGE.
AMEN. I KNOW 25 FOR US WAS
A OPEN DOOR YEAR, AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
AND I KNOW THAT 26 IS A YEAR OF CHANGE AND NEWNESS.
AMEN. AND HE CAME AND I WAS
TELLING HIM YESTERDAY, AND I TOLD HIM AFTER HE
MINISTERED FRIDAY NIGHT AT OUR PLACE, I SAID, "MAN, YOU
HAD TO RAISE THE OWL TONIGHT."
'CAUSE I MEAN, THAT PROPHET'S GIFT WAS--
I MEAN, I DIDN'T TELL HIM A WORD,
DIDN'T TELL HIM NOTHING.
CONGREGATION THOUGHT, "OH, A BISHOP MUST HAVE TOLD HIM."
NO, I DIDN'T TELL HIM NOTHING, OKAY
THE WORD OF THE LORD WAS SO ACCURATE.
AND SO AN INDIVIDUAL CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE MINISTRY
GIFT OFFICE.
AMEN. I STAND IN THREE.
HE HAS AT LEAST, PRAISE GOD, TWO AT LEAST.
HE MAY HAVE A THIRD.
I DON'T KNOW.
AMEN. DAD HAGAN HAD SEVERAL.
SO PAUL HAD THREE.
I MEAN, OTHERS, PRAISE GOD.
SO TO HAVE A PASTOR AND PASTOR'S WIFE
WITH A PROPHETIC GIFT LIKE THAT, Y'ALL JUST DOUBLE BLESSED.
DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR CHURCH FOR GRANTED.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AMEN.
PEOPLE HAVE A TENDENCY TO NOT REALLY RECOGNIZE
WHAT THEY HAVE UNTIL THEY LOSE IT.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHY DID IT DON'T GO THERE
AMEN.
IN JESUS' NAME.
I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY WIFE OF 50 YEARS,
PASTOR DEBORAH.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AMEN.
WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 50 YEARS AND WE HAVE THREE
GRAND--GROWN CHILDREN, PRAISE GOD, WHO ARE ALL
FULL-TIME MINISTERS.
AMEN.
AND WE HAVE SEVEN GRANDCHILDREN, FOUR GIRLS AND THREE BOYS.
AFTER WE HAD THE THREE GIRLS FIRST,
THEN I WENT TO PRAYING.
I SAID, "LORD, I NEED A BOY," RIGHT
AND THE LORD GAVE ME A BOY, AND AFTER THAT WE
HAD ANOTHER BOY, AND AFTER THAT WE
HAD ANOTHER BOY.
PRAISE GOD, HALLELUJAH.
AMEN. AND THEN WE HAD A LITTLE
PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL AT THE END.
OH MY GOODNESS.
I WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THAT.
THE PASTOR, DEBORAH, STILL MAKES MY LIVER QUIVER.
SHE STILL ADDS GLIDE TO MY STRIDE AND PEP TO MY STEP.
HALLELUJAH. AMEN.
AND SO THANK YOU FOR THE HONOR OF BEING HERE.
WE'RE ABOUT TO GET INTO THE WORD NOW.
BEFORE WE DO, ANY OF YOU WERE HERE
WHEN I MINISTERED FOR BROTHER COPELAND THIS WEEK
LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS.
OH, A GREAT DEAL OF YOU WERE, ALL RIGHT.
SO THIS MESSAGE IS KIND OF LIKE PART TWO OF THAT.
AND IF YOU MISSED WHAT WE DID FOR BROTHER COPELAND'S
MINISTRY THIS WEEK, AMEN, YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND
YOU CAN HEAR IT AND CATCH UP.
'CAUSE REALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY
IS THAT THIS IS BEING ADDED ON THAT GOT BEFORE THE LORD
WHAT HE WANTED US TO DO THIS MORNING.
HE WANTED ME TO ADD ON TO WHERE WE LEFT OFF.
SO I'LL TOUCH JUST A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT WE DID THIS WEEK.
WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING ON IN JESUS' NAME.
ARE YOU READY TO GET INTO THE WORD NOW
TAKE YOUR BIBLE IN YOUR HAND, WHETHER IT'S ON A
CELL PHONE OR A TABLET OR JUST A REGULAR LEATHER
PULP BIBLE LIKE MINE, HOLD IT UP IN THE AIR AND
SAY THIS ALONG WITH ME.
THIS IS MY BIBLE.
THE BIBLE IS GOD SPEAKING TO ME.
AND THE BIBLE IS THE TRUTH.
IT INSTRUCTS ME WHAT TO BELIEVE, WHAT TO THINK, HOW TO LIVE,
HOW TO HAVE VICTORY, AND ALSO IN IT IS THE PATH TO ETERNAL LIFE.
HALLELUJAH. LORD, ONCE AGAIN, WE HUMBLY
COME BEFORE THE WORD OF GOD.
YOUR WORD IS ALL WE NEED.
YOU SAID IN ROMANS 1 16, PRAISE GOD,
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE POWER OF GOD
UNTO ALL DELIVERANCE TO THE JEW FIRST AND ALSO TO THE GREEK.
YOU ALSO TOLD US THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GREAT TEACHER
AND INSTRUCTOR AND WILL BRING BACK TO OUR REMEMBRANCE
THE THINGS JESUS SAID UNTO US.
SO HOLY SPIRIT, WE YIELD TO YOU AGAIN TODAY.
WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD SPEAK THROUGH THESE LIPS OF CLAY,
THE WORD OF GOD.
OPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING.
WE CAN SEE, KNOW, UNDERSTAND, WALK IN THE THINGS
THAT THE LORD JESUS SAID UNTO US.
WE'RE OPEN, FATHER, TO WHATEVER OTHER GIFTS,
GRACES, ANOINTINGS, MANIFESTATIONS,
OR DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE SPIRIT YOU WILL SEE FIT
TO SHARE WITH US.
AND FATHER, FOR WHATEVER YOU DO, WE GIVE YOU AND YOU ONLY ALL
OF THE GLORY, HONOR, OR PRAISE.
ALL THIS WE ASK IN THE HOLY, MIGHTY, MATCHLESS,
AND HIGHEST AUTHORITY OF ALL, JESUS OF NAZARETH,
BY HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD.
EVERYONE IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS PRAYER SAID.
- AMEN.
- AMEN, ASK YOUR SEAT, OPEN YOUR BIBLES
TO THE 16TH CHAPTER OF MARK, PLEASE.
HALLELUJAH. AS I WAS SAYING AT BROTHER
COPELAND'S VICTORY CONFERENCE, PRAISE THE LORD, WHAT WE'RE
ABOUT TO READ IN MARK 16 IS TWO THINGS.
IT IS, FIRST OF ALL, A COMMAND,
AND THEN HE ALSO IS GOING TO PROPHESY.
WE KNOW IF WE READ VERSE 14, PRAISE THE LORD, OF MARK 16,
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE DAY THAT, AND BEFORE THAT AS WELL,
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE DAY THAT JESUS WAS RAISED
FROM THE DEAD IN THIS PARTICULAR CHAPTER, PRAISE THE LORD.
IN VERSE 14, "HE APPEARED UNTO THE ELEVEN, AS THEY SAID,
"AT MEETING UPBRAIDED THEM WITH THEIR UNBELIEF
"AND HARDNESS OF HEART, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED NOT THEM
"WHICH HAD SEEN HIM AFTER HE WAS RISEN.
"AND HE SAID UNTO THEM," HERE'S THE COMMAND PART,
"GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL
"TO EVERY CREATURE.
"HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED,
"BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED."
AND HERE'S THE PROPHECY.
"AND THESE SIGNS," NOW THE NEW TESTAMENT IS
TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK AND THE GREEK WORD
FOR SIGNS IS SEMION.
AND SEMION, SIGNS MEAN IT IS AN INDICATION.
BUT PRAISE THE LORD.
OH, YOUR PASTOR IS ALWAYS KIDDING ME ABOUT,
'CAUSE I'M A BIG GAME HUNTER.
AND SO HE'S ALWAYS KIDDING ME ABOUT MY COLLECTION
THAT I HAVE, 'CAUSE I HAVE THE BEST COLLECTION
IN THE UNITED STATES, HALLELUJAH.
WELL, IT GOT TO BE CLOSE, RIGHT
AMEN. BUT, AMEN.
AN INDICATION IS SOMETHING WHEN YOU DON'T SEE IT NECESSARILY
AT THE MOMENT, BUT YOU MAY HEAR A SOUND.
I MEAN, AN INDICATION CAN BE ANY OF THE FIVE SENSES.
HALLELUJAH. BUT IF YOU'RE OUT IN THE WOODS,
IF YOU'RE AGAINST HUNTERS, THEN FORGIVE ME, ASK THE
LORD TO FORGIVE ME, ALL OF THAT.
HALLELUJAH. BUT IF YOU'RE OUT IN
THE WOODS, YOU KNOW, AND YOU JUST SEE THESE
LITTLE BITTY HORNS
STICKING UP THERE IN THE TALL GRASS
OR WHATEVER'S OUT THERE, THAT'S AN INDICATION
THERE'S SOMETHING THERE.
AMEN AND JESUS IS ABOUT TO SAY,
IF YOU SEE THESE INDICATIONS, YOU SEE THESE THINGS HAPPENING,
MUST BE SOME CHRISTIANS AROUND.
AMEN. SO HE SAYS, "THESE
INDICATIONS SHALL FOLLOW," SHALL, FUTURE TENSE, "SHALL
FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE."
DO I HAVE ANY BELIEVERS IN HERE
SO HE'S TALKING ABOUT HERE, IF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND,
WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE SEEING WHERE YOU ARE CONCERNED.
HE SAYS, "THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THOSE BELIEVERS.
IN MY NAME," THE GREEK WORD FOR NAME IS ONOMA.
ONOMA MEANS AUTHORITY AND CHARACTER.
THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTERISTIC OF GOD
IS THAT GOD IS LOVE.
AMEN SO IN MY LOVE, WHAT
THEY'RE GOING TO DO, THEY DO IT FROM A BASIS
OF LOVE, AGAPE LOVE.
AND THEY DO IT WITH MY AUTHORITY.
THEY SHALL CAST OUT DEVILS, WHICH IS NUMBER ONE.
BUT WE SPENT TIME THIS WEEK ON NUMBER TWO.
AMEN. AND TO SOME EXTENT,
WE WILL TODAY.
AMEN. HE SAID, "THEY SHALL
SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES."
NOW, THE GREEK WORD FOR NEW IS KENOS.
AND KENOS MEANS FRESH.
AMEN. AS I WAS SAYING THIS PAST WEEK,
LIKE I SAID, I'M GONNA REVIEW THIS A LITTLE BIT.
WHAT I WAS SAYING THIS PAST WEEK, AMEN,
SOMETHING FRESH MEANS, GUESS WHAT
IT'S NEW.
IT MEANS IT WASN'T HERE BEFORE.
IT MEANS IT'S NOT STALE.
I WAS IN THE SERVICE NOT TOO LONG AGO,
AND DURING THE SERVICE, THE LORD SAID TO ME, "STALE."
IN OTHER WORDS, THE SERVICE AND WHAT WAS HAPPENING
WAS THE CHURCH WAS STALE, AND HE WANTED SOMETHING NEW.
HALLELUJAH. I WENT INTO THE
REFRIGERATOR A FEW DAYS AGO, AND I SAW SOMETHING THAT
LOOKED GOOD FOR ME TO EAT.
SO I REACHED AND PULLED IT OUT, AND WHEN I DID,
THE WIFE SAID TO ME, "YOU BETTER READ THAT DATE ON THAT."
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
SEE, SHE DIDN'T WANT ME TO EAT NOTHING THAT'S STALE.
THANK GOD FOR WIVES PROTECTING US, BROTHERS.
I DIDN'T GET TOO MANY AMENS FROM THE BROTHERS, DID I
COME ON, BROTHERS.
THE BIBLE SAID GOD GAVE US A HELP ME 'CAUSE WE NEED HELP.
HALLELUJAH. TELL YOUR WIFE, SAY, "HONEY,
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME."
BOY, Y'ALL, I MEAN.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU AIN'T GONNA CUT HER NO SLACK, HUH
SO ANYWAY, SO I READ IT, AND I-- YEAH, IT WAS INDEED STALE.
SO SHE ORDERED ME SOMETHING FRESH.
WELL, FRESH, NEW.
THEY SHALL SPEAK WITH NEW.
THE WORD FOR TONGUES IS GLOSSA.
AND GLOSSA MEANS A LANGUAGE WHICH
IS NOT ACQUIRED NATURALLY.
THIS WORD TONGUES IS THE SAME ONE IN ACTS 2, 4, RIGHT
THEY BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER, GLOSSA, TONGUES,
AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THE UTTERANCE,
THE MANNER OR THE STYLE OF SPEAKING.
NOW ALL THIS HAS TO DO WITH YOUR MOUTH.
AMEN AND TODAY WE'RE MINISTERING
ON THE SUBJECT OF, PRAISE GOD, WHO IS CONTROLLING YOUR MOUTH
IS IT PRODUCING A MESS OR MIRACLES
HALLELUJAH. NOW, THE REASON WHY THE
LORD GIVES US FRESH TONGUES IS BECAUSE OF SOMETHING JESUS
SAID IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 6.
I'M GOING TO GO BACK THERE AGAIN.
CAN I GET THREE HALLELUJAHS THIS MORNING
ONE FOR THE FATHER, ONE FOR THE SON, ONE FOR THE HOLY GHOST.
COURSE THE BACK PART OF MATTHEW CHAPTER SIX,
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT NOT WORRY IT.
DON'T CONCERN YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA EAT, DRINK,
HALLELUJAH, EVEN DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
GOD WILL FIND A WAY TO GET IT TO YOU.
AMEN, GOOD PREACHING, WOO, YEAH.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
HALLELUJAH. SO HE'S TELLING
THEM NOT TO WORRY.
EVERYBODY KNOWS VERSE 16, VERSE 33 RATHER.
SEEK YE FIRST, OR AT THE BEGINNING,
THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.
SO HE'S TELLING YOU NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE THINGS.
VERSE 34 IS USUALLY NOT QUOTED MOST TIMES I HEAR PEOPLE
WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THIS.
AND JESUS SAID IN VERSE 34, "TAKE THEREFORE NO
THOUGHT FOR THE MIRE," STILL TALKING ABOUT DON'T WORRY.
WHY "FOR THE MIRE SHALL TAKE THOUGHT
FOR THE THINGS OF ITSELF."
IN OTHER WORDS, I'M GONNA HANDLE IT.
BUT THEN HE SAYS SOMETHING ELSE HERE.
"SUFFICIENT UNTIL THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF."
THE WORD SUFFICIENT MEANS ENOUGH.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT HE'S TELLING YOU IS,
PRAISE GOD, DON'T WORRY, EVEN THOUGH THERE MIGHT BE
IN FRONT OF YOU EVERY DAY, SOME CHALLENGE, SOME
SITUATION, SOME EVIL, SOME APPROACH THAT THE ENEMY
IS BRINGING AGAINST YOU.
AND SO FOR THE FRESH ATTACK THAT THE ENEMY BRINGS AGAINST YOU,
GOD HAS A FRESH TONGUE FOR YOU.
HALLELUJAH. HE'S GOT A FRESH WORD FOR
YOU TO UTTER SUPERNATURALLY.
AND OF COURSE, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR
WITH 1 CORINTHIANS 14, TWO, IT SAYS THAT,
"HE THAT SPEAKETH IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE,
"SPEAKETH NOT UNTO MEN, BUT UNTO GOD.
"HOW BEING IN THE SPIRIT, HE SPEAKS MUSTERION."
HE SPEAKS MYSTERIES, SECRETS, PRAISE GOD.
SEE, GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS, SO HE KNOWS ABOUT TOMORROW'S ATTACK
THAT THE ENEMY HAS PLANNED FOR YOU.
HE KNOWS ABOUT NEXT YEAR, HALLELUJAH.
AND HE'S GOT FRESH TONGUES TO HELP YOU PRAY WITH ACCURACY.
HALLELUJAH. NOW SEE, I'M GONNA TELL YOU
HOW MUCH ACCURACY MATTERS.
VERY MUCH SO, PRAISE GOD.
IF YOU ARE IN A FIGHT, AMEN, A GUNFIGHT, AMEN.
GOD FORBID YOU BEEN THIS, BUT I'M USING THIS AS AN EXAMPLE.
IF YOU'RE IN A GUNFIGHT, I UNDERSTAND PASTOR
BRENDA GOT A GUN.
HALLELUJAH, I UNDERSTAND SHE GOT ONE, SHE READY.
HALLELUJAH. WELL, PASTOR, HUH
- IT'S A GLOCK.
- IT'S A GLOCK TOO.
GO AHEAD, BABY.
SHE GONNA ROCK WITH THE GLOCK, HALLELUJAH.
WELL, I TELL YOU THOUGH, THOUGH, IF SHE WOUND UP IN A SITUATION
AND SOMEBODY'S COMING AT HER TO TAKE HER OUT AND SHE FIRES THIS
GLOCK, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS, BUT SHE DISCHARGES THAT
GLOCK, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT BEING IN THE VICINITY
AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH
RIGHT SEE, YOU MISS HERE, YOU MISS HERE,
YOU MISS HERE, YOU MISS HERE, AND HE'S STILL COMING.
HOW MANY KNOW THAT ACCURACY MATTERS WHEN
YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER
YOU WANT TO HIT THAT CENTER MASS, A'S ON B'S
ON C'S ON, I MEAN YOU, BUT YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU PUT THE HITS RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG.
SO EVERYBODY SAY ACCURACY MATTERS.
SAME THING'S TRUE WITH PRAYER.
THE REASON WHY FIRST CORINTHIANS 14 TELLS YOU ABOUT
PRAYING THIS WAY AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY GOD WANTS
CONTROL OF YOUR MOUTH IS SO THAT YOU CAN BE
ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE.
NOW, JAMES 4, 3 SAYS, PRAISE GOD, THAT WE PRAY AMISS.
THE WORD AMISS MEANS WE PRAY BADLY,
AND IT ALSO USES THE WORD IN THE GREEK, MISERABLY.
AND THE REASON WHY, PRAISE GOD, BECAUSE WE DON'T PRAY
WITH FULL INFORMATION.
WE ONLY PRAY BASED ON WHAT WE SEE OR FEEL
OR TOUCH OR TASTE OR SMELL, AMEN,
OR WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW.
HOW MANY OF YOU FOUND OUT IN YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW SOMETHING
WAS THE CASE AND YOU FOUND OUT LATER IT WASN'T
IT WAS NOT.
ALL OF Y'ALL HANDS SHOULD'VE WENT UP.
WE GOT ALTAR FOR LIARS UP HERE TOO, YOU KNOW.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
I DIDN'T CALL YOU A LIAR, NOW.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
AMEN. BUT SEE, IN ROMANS
8, 26, TELLS US WHAT
WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY FOR US, WE OUGHT TO.
AND SO THE SPIRIT HAS TO HELP US,
HAS TO ASSIST US WHEN WE PRAY SO THAT WE DON'T MISS,
MISS, MISS, MISS.
BUT WHAT WE CAN DO, WE CAN BRING THE POWER OF GOD
ON THE SCENE AND HIT CENTER MASS AT THE DEVIL.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AMEN, BECAUSE GOD GETS TO MOVE IN THE EARTH
BECAUSE SOMEONE ASKED HIM TO DO IT.
DAD HAGAN USED TO SAY, PRAISE THE LORD,
MY SPIRIT'S A FATHER, KENNETH E.
HAGAN. AND SO PRAISE THE LORD, TO SAY
THAT WE'RE ON AN EARTH LEASE.
GENESIS TOLD US THAT, RIGHT
MOST OF Y'ALL KNOW ALL THIS.
AND PRAISE GOD, YOU NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
I SAID, YOU NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
AMEN, WE'RE ON THE EARTH, PLEASE.
I MEAN, GENESIS, PRAISE GOD, CHAPTER ONE,
MADE MAN HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS.
LET HIM HAVE DOMINION OVER ALL THE EARTH.
SAYS IT IN PSALMS TWO, THE EIGHTH PSALM, PRAISE GOD.
AMEN, WHAT IS MAN, YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM.
Y'ALL HAVE, YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM THE GLORY OF GOD,
THE HONOR OF GOD, AND PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET.
SAY AMEN, SO A LEASE IS WHEN, PRAISE GOD,
EVEN THOUGH SOMEBODY'S THE OWNER,
THEY'VE LET IT OUT TO SOMEONE ELSE.
AND UNLESS THERE'S AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE OWNER
AND THE LESSEE, AMEN, THE OWNER CAN'T COME INTO THE
PROPERTY WITHOUT INVITATION.
NOW THERE'S AN END OF THE LEASE.
NOW THAT'S WHAT BOOK OF REVELATIONS,
I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT SHE GONNA PREACH IS COMING UP.
BUT THAT'S WHAT BOOK OF REVELATIONS,
END TIME TEACHING IS ABOUT RIGHT AT THE END OF THE LEASE.
AND THINGS ARE GOING TO REVERT BACK, PRAISE GOD, TO PRIOR.
HALLELUJAH. SO RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER, WE'RE
AT THE END OF THIS LEASE.
SO GOD MOVES ON THE EARTH BECAUSE HE IS INVITED.
BUT WHEN YOU INVITE HIM, YOU WANT TO INVITE HIM.
WHAT DOES ROMANS 8, 27 AND 28 SAYS
IT SAID THAT THE SPIRIT, IN FACT, I SHOULDN'T
QUOTE ALL THESE, I SHOULD MAKE YOU READ THEM.
TURN TO ROMANS CHAPTER 8.
AMEN. PRAISE THE LORD.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG Y'ALL DO CHURCH, SO I'M JUST
GOING TO JUST MOVE ALONG, BUT, BUT, UH, ROMANS
CHAPTER 8 AND YOU CAN READ, DID I SAY ROMANS
YEAH. OKAY.
ROMANS CHAPTER 8.
PRAISE THE LORD.
VERSE 27.
HE THAT SEARCHETH THE HEARTS THAT'S GOT THE FATHER
KNOWETH WHAT IS THE MIND AND THE SPIRIT, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT
MAKE OF INTERCESSION FOR THE SAINTS ACCORDING TO GOD.
SEE, ALL THAT'S ABOUT ACCURACY.
SO THAT YOU BRING GOD'S POWER, HIS
ANOINTING, RIGHT ON THE SCENE.
SEE, PRAYING IN TONGUES IS ABOUT WAR.
WHAT IT IS, IS SPIRITUAL ARTILLERY.
YOUR MOUTH IS THE HOWITZER.
SPIRITUAL ARTILLERY GOES UP, PRAISE GOD, HALLELUJAH,
AND THEN COMES DOWN ON THE ENEMY'S CAMP
PRECISELY AT THE SPOT THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.
(CONGREGATION CHEERING)
HALLELUJAH. AND SO YEAH, WE PRAY IN
TONGUES AND WE DO IT, WE KIND OF DO IT MORE
AS A DEVOTIONAL GIFT.
WE DO IT 'CAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO.
HALLELUJAH. WE DO IT SOME, BUT THE LORD
WANTS YOU TO RAISE THIS TO A HIGHER LEVEL.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
BECAUSE, AMEN, IT'S GOING TO BE NECESSARY
TO DESTROY SOME LARGER TARGETS.
NOW TURN TO ACTS CHAPTER TWO, AND LET ME NOW GET INTO
THIS IN SOME GREATER DETAIL.
CAN I GET THREE PRAISE THE LORD, SOMEBODY
- PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD.
- NOW I JUST REVIEW JUST A LITTLE BIT
ON WHAT WE WERE MINISTERING THIS WEEK FOR BROTHER COPELAND.
AND I REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET IT,
'CAUSE IT'LL REALLY MAKE THIS MESSAGE
MAKE A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE.
THIS IS THE DAY OF PENTECOST.
THEY'RE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST,
SPEAKING OF THE TONGUES OF THE SPIRIT,
AGAINST THE MANNER AND STYLE OF SPEAKING,
THE WORD UTTERANCE, PRAISE GOD.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE MOCKED AND SAY,
AS THEY SPILL OUT INTO THE STREETS,
DRUNK IN THE HOLY GHOST.
EVER BEEN DRUNK IN THE HOLY GHOST
I HAVE, PRAISE GOD.
EVER BEEN DRUNK IN THE HOLY, THEY SPILL OUT ON THE
STREETS AND THEY'RE STILL SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
MAN, WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
THIS WENT ON.
AND WE KNOW IT WAS A WHILE BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM
ALL OVER FOUND THEIR WAY THERE.
AND YOU KNOW, ALL THE CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE, PARTHIANS AND
MEDES AND ELAMITES AND SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE, THIS
HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE, MAN.
THEY'RE DRUNK IN THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS
WHY SOMEBODY SAYS THESE MEN ARE DRUNK.
AND THEN PETER STANDS UP AND HE SAYS THIS IN VERSE 16,
BUT THIS IS THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET JOEL WAS
THE BOOK OF JOEL CHAPTER TWO, VERSE 28.
IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS, SAY OF GOD, I
WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT.
NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY 1828 EDITION IS THE
ONE DADDY HIGGINS ALWAYS DO.
UH AMEN.
THAT WORD POUR MEANS TO SEND FORTH IN A STREAM OR
CONTINUOUS SUCCESSION WITH OVERWHELMING FORCE TO MOVE AS A
CURRENT. SO HE SAYS HERE, IN THE LAST DAYS, I WILL MOVE AS A
STREAM, AS A CONTINUOUS SUCCESSION WITH OVERWHELMING
FORCE AND THAT I WILL MOVE AS A CURRENT.
PRAISE GOD.
WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE HOLY GHOST.
YOU SEE, WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE, YOU
NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST, THE FIRST
FOUR, MAINLY, MOST PART OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.
NOW YOU HAVE ALL THREE AND ALL DISPENSATIONS, BUT
THE, MAINLY THE OLD TESTAMENT IS ABOUT GOD THE FATHER.
AMEN. AND GOD THE FATHER'S DOING WHAT
HE'S SETTING THE STAGE, HE'S GETTING THE WORD
AND THE EARTH THROUGH HIS PROPHETS.
AMEN. AND HE'S GETTING THE EARTH PREPARED
FOR THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
THE MESSIAH.
JESUS OF NAZARETH.
HALLELUJAH. HE LAYS SO MANY PROPHECIES IN THE EARTH,
GLORY TO GOD.
AND HE SAID IN ISAIAH, "MY WORD IS LIKE
RAIN FROM HEAVEN.
ONCE IT COMES DOWN ONTO THE EARTH, IT'S
GOING TO WATER, IT'S GOING TO BRING FORTH.
THERE'S NO WAY IT CANNOT BRING FORTH.
IT'S GOING TO BRING FORTH.
SATAN CAN'T GET IT OUT.
JUST LIKE YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T HAVE RAIN HAPPEN
HERE. YOU CATCH IT IN THE BUCKET AND THROW IT BACK UP IN THE
CLOUDS. IT AIN'T GOING TO WORK THAT WAY.
ONCE IT COMES DOWN IN THE EARTH, MAN, IT'S GOING
TO DO SOMETHING.
SO THAT WORD, GOD'S GOING TO LAY THIS
FOUNDATION. NOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THEN YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE THE TIME OF THE MESSIAH, JESUS, THE SON.
NOW THIS IS SHORT, IT'S ONLY 33 YEARS,
BUT IT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.
I SAID, IT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.
GLORY TO GOD.
AND THEN JESUS SAYS, NOW I'M GOING
AWAY. AND WHEN I GO, JOHN 14, JOHN 16, WHEN I GO
AWAY, I'M GOING TO SEND ANOTHER COMFORTER TO YOU
BECAUSE WHILE I'M WITH YOU, I'M YOUR COMFORTER,
BUT I'M GOING TO SEND YOU ANOTHER ONE.
AND HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER,
EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE.
AND SO NOW WE LIVE IN THE TIME OF AGE OF GRACE.
WHY ARE YOU CALLED AGE OF GRACE
HEBREWS 10, 29 HAS A NAME FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS A LOT OF NAMES,
JUST LIKE JESUS HAS MANY NAMES, JUST LIKE THE FATHER.
BUT HEBREWS 10, 29 CALLS HIM THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.
HE'S THE NUMA OF HORUS, AMEN.
HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT, THE GRACE IS NOT A DOCTRINE,
GRACE IS A PERSON.
HE'S THE HOLY GHOST WHO HAS MANY ATTRIBUTES, AMEN.
SO WE'RE IN HIS TIME AND HIS JOB IS TO HELP US,
WHICH IS WHY IF YOU DON'T SPEAK IN TONGUES
WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING ME, PRAISE GOD.
YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
I SAID YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
AMEN, 'CAUSE YOU ARE DENYING YOURSELF OF A LOT OF HELP.
SO IT GOES ON TO SAY HERE, PRAISE GOD,
THAT HE PRAYS ACCORDING TO GOD, OR IN OTHER WORDS, GOD'S WILL.
BUT LET'S NOTICE WHAT ELSE HE SAYS HERE.
SO I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH,
UNDERLINING THE WORD ALL.
WHAT DOES ALL MEAN
YEAH, Y'ALL GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THAT.
ALL MEANS EVERYTHING.
HOW MUCH IS LEFT AFTER ALL
NOTHING, RIGHT
HE SAID, "I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH."
WHY DOES HE SAY THAT
BECAUSE UNDER THE OLD COVENANT, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
ONLY JUST THE PROPHETS, PRIESTS, AND KINGS
REALLY HAD ACCESS TO THE SPIRIT.
THE COMMON ORDINARY MAN DID NOT HAVE THAT POURING OUT.
HE HAD TO GO TO THE PROPHET OF GOD,
KING OF GOD, PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME
BUT NOW WHAT THE CHANGE IS, IS THAT THE SPIRIT'S GONNA
COME UPON EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY.
IN OTHER WORDS, NOW YOU'RE A KING,
YOU'RE A PROPHET, YOU'RE A PRIEST,
AND YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE SPIRIT.
THOSE DOORS HAVE BEEN OPENED, PRAISE THE LORD.
HALLELUJAH. THE GLORY TO GOD.
AND SO WHAT'S THE RESULT
NOTICE HERE, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE UP NOW
ARE GONNA BE BORN AGAIN.
NOTICE THAT PETER LINKS SPEAKING IN TONGUES
IN THE UPPER ROOM WITH JOEL'S PROPHECY.
AMEN. NOW, OF COURSE, THE WORD
PROPHESY, PROFITUO, MEANS SPEAKING UNDER DIVINE,
NOT EARTHLY THINGS IN TONGUES.
SO SPEAKING IN TONGUES, PRAISE GOD, IS WHAT
IT IS A DIVINE, NOT EARTHLY LANGUAGE WHERE
YOUR MOUTH IS UTILIZED.
NOW WE MADE THE VERY IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD AND
HOW DOES GOD DO EVERYTHING
HE SAYS IT.
GOD SAID, "LIKE ME, LIKE WAS."
YOU MADE IN HIS IMAGE.
YOU SAY IT AND IT COMES TO PASS.
YOU MAY NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT HALLELUJAH,
YOU ARE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE AND LIKENESS.
YOU GOT GOD'S FORM AND YOU GOT GOD'S MANNER.
YOU'VE BEEN MADE A LITTLE GOD AND WHAT YOU SAY COMES TO PASS.
NOW WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A MESS
OR WHETHER OR NOT IT BECOMES A MIRACLE
DEPENDS ON WHAT IT IS YOU SAY.
AND WHEN YOU SAY IT, PRAISE THE LORD.
AMEN. NOW, WHEN WE READ
MARK 16, GO BACK OVER, KEEP YOUR FINGER
HERE IN THE ACTS 'CAUSE I'M COMING BACK TO ACTS.
AMEN, I'M A BIBLE TEACHER, SO IT TAKES ME A LITTLE
TIME TO GET THERE.
AMEN. PRAISE GOD THERE'S PREACHERS
AND THEN THERE'S TEACHERS.
THE PREACHER'S JOB IS TO INSPIRE.
AMEN. THE TEACHER'S JOB IS TO EXPLAIN.
SO MARK 16, PRAISE THE LORD.
NOTICE HERE, HE SAID, OF COURSE, THEY SHALL TAKE UP SERPENTS,
THEY DRINK THE DEADLY THINGS, SHALL NOT HURT THEM,
LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, THEY SHALL RECOVER.
SO THEN AFTER THE LORD HAS SPOKEN UNTO THEM,
HE WAS RECEIVED UP INTO HEAVEN AND SAT ON THE RIGHT HAND
OF GOD, THEY WENT FORTH AND PREACHED EVERYWHERE,
THE LORD WORKING WITH AND CONFIRMING THE WORD
WITH
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
INDICATIONS FOLLOWING, AMEN.
SO THAT WORD WORKING WITH MEANS THEY COOPERATE
AND THEY WORK TOGETHER.
AND EVERYTHING IN THAT LIST, INCLUDING TONGUES,
IS PART OF WORKING TOGETHER WITH GOD.
NOW, WHEN YOU GO BACK TO ACTS CHAPTER TWO,
HE CONTINUES TO SAY, "I WILL POUR OUT MY
SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH.
"YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY.
"YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
"AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS."
IN OTHER WORDS, HE SAID VISIONS AND DREAMS
WILL NOT BE JUST TO PROPHETS LIKE DANIEL,
BUT VISIONS AND DREAMS WILL BE TO ALL FILLED
WITH THE SPIRIT POTENTIALLY.
IN FACT, THE WORD VISIONS, HARESES, IS AN INSPIRED
APPEARANCE. IT CAN BE INTERNAL.
IT CAN BE EXTERNAL.
PRAISE GOD.
AND NOTICE HE SAID SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GOING AROUND SAYING, WELL, PAUL
SAID, YOU KNOW, WOMEN HAD TO KEEP SILENT.
SOMEBODY FORGOT TO TELL LUKE THIS, BECAUSE THEY
PROPHESY AND YOU CAN'T PROPHESY AND BE SILENT AT THE SAME
TIME. COME ON SOMEBODY.
AND ON MY SERVANTS AND ON MY HANDMAIDENS,
I WILL POUR OUT THOSE DAYS OF MY SPIRIT AND THEY, SONS
AND DAUGHTERS, SHALL PROPHESY.
IN FACT, PRAISE GOD, THE WORD SERVANT IS DOULOS, IS A SLAVE,
WHETHER YOU'RE INVOLUNTARILY OR VOLUNTARILY.
NOW ROMANS 6, 2, PAUL TALKS ABOUT THAT.
I'M A SLAVE OF GOD.
AMEN. I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS.
I'VE GIVEN UP ALL MY RIGHTS.
AMEN. ANYBODY ELSE HERE
IS A SLAVE TO GOD
I KNOW YOU'RE A SON.
AMEN. BUT YOU ALSO ATTITUDINALLY
SHOULD BE A SLAVE.
I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS.
YOU TELL ME WHERE TO GO, YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO,
YOU TELL ME TO JUMP, PRAISE GOD I'LL JUMP.
YOU TELL ME HOW HIGH, THAT'S HOW HIGH I GO.
THAT'S ALL PART OF LORDSHIP.
LORDSHIP IS WHEN, PRAISE GOD, HE IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY
AND YOU ARE NOT AN AUTHORITY.
I MEAN, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE,
JESUS IS THEIR SAVIOR, BUT HE IS NOT THEIR LORD.
THEY STILL GOT THE I THINK ISMS.
YEAH, BUT I THINK.
YEAH, BUT I FEEL.
LORD, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HE DIDN'T TELL YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
HE JUST TOLD YOU TO DO IT.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
WOO.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
IN FACT, THE SPIRIT OF GOD TELLING ME RIGHT NOW,
THIS SERVER OF YOU RIGHT NOW, WE GOT BIG DECISIONS
ON THE INSIDE, AMEN, AND ON THE EXTERIOR, YOU
KNOW THE LORD'S PUSHING YOU TO DO CERTAIN THINGS RIGHT NOW,
AND YOU GOT THE ISM PROBLEM.
WELL, I THINK, I FEEL, I CAN'T SEE,
AND GOD SAYS, DO IT!
AMEN. YOU SEE, FAITH
HAS FIVE ELEMENTS.
FIRST OF ALL IS HEARING, ROMANS 10, 17.
SO THEN FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING.
THEN THERE'S RECEIVING, JAMES 1, 121.
RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE IMPLANTED WORD
WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE YOUR SOUL.
WHAT DOES THAT ENGRAFT OR IMPLANT IT MEANS
IT MEANS, AMEN, THERE'S A SEED IN THE GROUND
AND THAT TREE, HOWEVER, OR PLANT, THOUGH,
NEEDS SOMETHING TO KEEP IT SO THAT IT STAYS STRAIGHT.
YOU'VE ALL SEEN PLANTS DO THIS, AMEN.
WELL, IF YOU RECEIVE OR TAKE THE INGRAFT
OR PLANTED WORD, THE WORD KEEPS YOU THIS WAY,
GROWING STRAIGHT.
NO LEANING TO THE RIGHT, NO LEANING TO THE LEFT,
BUT YOU GOT TO BE WILLING TO RECEIVE IT FIRST.
WHY RECEIVE
BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR IT AND SAY NO, RIGHT
SO AS PRAISE GOD, HEAR, RECEIVE.
NOW WE COME TO BELIEVE, AMEN.
PRAISE THE LORD.
NOW THAT YOU'VE ACCEPTED THIS IS INDEED THE FACT,
FAITH IS OF THE HEART.
THAT'S WHEN YOU DECIDE, I'M GONNA BELIEVE THIS 100%.
AND THEN THIS IS WHERE YOUR MOUTH COMES IN.
AMEN, HOW YOU GOT SAVED.
YOU HEARD THE WORD, YOU BELIEVE WITH YOUR HEART,
SAY WITH YOUR MOUTH.
SO YOUR MOUTH IS PART OF YOUR WHOLE DELIVERANCE.
HENCE THIS MESSAGE BY THE TIME I GET TO THE END OF IT.
YOUR DELIVERANCE IS IN YOUR MOUTH.
NOW SOME OF YOU HAVE A MESS RIGHT NOW, MAN.
YOU IN SOME MESS AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I GOT HERE.
AND YOUR MOUTH WAS THE START POINT OF IT.
YOU SAID TO HIM, YOU SAID TO HER, YOU SAID TO THEM,
AND YOU SAID ABOUT THIS.
AND WHAT YOU SAID, PRAISE GOD, OUTSIDE THE CHURCH
THEN LINE UP WITH THE STUFF YOU SAY IN THE CHURCH.
(CONGREGATION MURMURS)
HALLELUJAH, EXCEPT THE DEVIL HEARD IT,
AND GOD HEARD IT, AND ANGELS HEARD IT.
ANGELS HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF THE WORD,
BUT THEY DON'T HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF ISMS.
(CONGREGATION CHEERS)
AMEN. DEMONS HEARKEN TO
THE ISMS THOUGH.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU SAY, I CAN'T, I WON'T, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
SATAN SAID, THERE YOU GO, YOU OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME,
AND LET ME COME IN AND KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY.
RIGHT SO IT'S HEARING, RECEIVING,
BELIEVING, SPEAKING.
THEN HERE'S THE ONE PEOPLE HAVE THE MOST PROBLEM WITH,
JAMES 1:22.
PRAISE GOD, BE DOERS OF THE WORD AND NOT HEARERS ONLY.
FAITH IS ACTING ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
OKAY, AMEN
PRAISE GOD.
SO HE SAYS THIS ABOUT THIS.
NOW, ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES, HOWEVER,
WITH THE OFFICE OF THE PROPHET, AND WHAT PRAISE
GOD IS SAID HERE, IS THAT WHEN THE PROPHET
SPEAKS, WE KNOW WHAT HE SAID.
WHEN YOU'RE PRAYING IN TONGUES, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SAID,
UNLESS YOU'RE GIVEN INTERPRETATION, RIGHT
VERSE 14, TWO, IT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
BUT WHY IS PROPHECY NECESSARY
IT'S NECESSARY TO PRODUCE GOSPEL ON THE EARTH
DURING THE EARTHLY'S TIME.
CONTROL OF YOUR MOUTH MATTERS.
NOW TURN TO JAMES CHAPTER THREE.
CAN I GET THREE PRAISE THE LORD SOMEBODY
PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD.
JAMES CHAPTER THREE, AND NOTICE, PRAISE GOD,
HE SAYS IN VERSE ONE, "BE NOT MANY MASTERS OR TEACHERS,
"NOR WE SHALL RECEIVE GREATER JUDGMENT,
"FOR IN MANY THINGS WE OFFEND ALL.
"IF ANY MAN OFFEND NOT IN WORD, "THE SAME IS A PERFECT
OR MATURE MAN."
AND WATCH THIS, HE IS ABLE TO CONTROL HIS WHOLE BODY.
SO HE SAID, "RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SPEAK HEALTH
"INTO YOUR BODY OR YOU CAN SPEAK SICKNESS,
"DEPENDING ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR MOUTH.
"WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE MOVED BY WHAT YOU SEE,
"WHAT YOU FEEL, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE."
SO SAY IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I'M HEALED.
COME ON CHURCH, SAY I'M HEALED FROM THE CROWN OF MY
HEAD TO THE SOLES OF MY FEET.
MAN, MY BRAIN'S HEALED, MY EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH'S
HEALED, MY TEETH, TONGUE, GUMS HEALED, MY VOICE BOX,
VOICE, THROAT AND NECK'S HEALED, MY HEART, LIVER,
COLON, PANCREAS, URINARY TRACT, LIVER, LUNGS,
PROSTATE'S HEALED, MY BLOOD PRESSURE'S NORMAL, MY SUGAR
COUNT'S NORMAL, MY IMMUNE SYSTEM IS STRONG, HALLELUJAH.
IT REPELS ALL INVADERS THAT COMES AGAINST IT.
NO GROWTH, KNOTS, CYSTS, LUMPS, TUMORS, NO RASHES, NO
GOUT, NO STONES, NO CATARACTS, NO CANCERS, NO POLYPS, NO
ARTHRITIS, HAS NO POWER OVER ME AND MY BODY.
THEY'RE OF THE CURSE, I'M OF THE BLESSING, IT'S OF THE
BLESSING IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLES, HALLELUJAH.
THAT'S WHAT I SAY EVERY MORNING.
HALLELUJAH. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY MOUTH
IS A MACHINE GUN TO THE DEVIL AND I DON'T WANNA
PUT BLANKS IN IT.
I WANT SOME HIGH CALIBER ROUNDS, GLORY TO GOD,
TO WORK UPON MY BODY AND DRIVE OUT WHATEVER SICKNESS
OR DISEASE THE ENEMY'S GOT PLANNED.
HALLELUJAH, SOMEBODY.
SO HE SAID, "NOW, IF YOU DON'T MESS UP WITH YOUR MOUTH,
"KEEP READING HIM."
THEN HE TALKS ABOUT HOW YOU TURN A BIG OLD HORSE,
BUT THEN IN VERSE FIVE, "EVEN SO THE TONGUE MAY BE LITTLE,
"BUT IT BOAST OF GREAT THINGS, "HOW GREAT A MATTER A
LITTLE FIRE CAN ALOOF."
MY DADDY WAS A MISSISSIPPI FARM BOY.
AMEN, ONE OF 11 KIDS, HIS PARENTS DIED WHEN HE WAS A KID.
AMEN. AND SO HE USED TO TAKE ME
DOWN THERE TO MISSISSIPPI IN THE SUMMER.
HE WANTED ME TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE MY PEOPLE
IN MISSISSIPPI, HIS PEOPLE, MY PEOPLE IN MISSISSIPPI,
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY HOT RUNNING WATER, LIVING
REALLY A SHANTY SHACK.
THEY HAD A THREE-HOLE OUTHOUSE.
SOME OF Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
NO LIGHTS, YOU KNOW.
SO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
MAN, IF YOU GOT TO GO, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT, MISSISSIPPI DELTA
IT'S SO DARK OUT THERE, YOU CAN'T SEE ME
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
YOU KNOW THOSE OF US WHO ARE A LITTLE BROWN SKINNED
Y'ALL SHOULDN'T LAUGH AT US 'CAUSE Y'ALL LAY ON THE BEACH
TRYING TO LOOK LIKE US.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
SAY IT LOUD.
I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
I'M JUST KIDDING.
DROP YOUR ROCKS, DON'T THROW NOTHING AT ME.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
MAN, AT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING,
YOU GONNA GET UP AND YOU GONNA GO OUT THERE,
YOU CAN'T SEE NOTHING.
AND YOU GONNA FIND YOUR, WE DIDN'T HAVE CELL
PHONES AND ALL, YOU KNOW THAT'S STILL RIGHT.
AND YOU GONNA GO OUT THERE, AND THERE'S NOTHING BUT
THREE HOLES IN THE GROUND.
AMEN AND YOU CAN'T SEE NOTHING.
YOU COULD HEAR SOMETHING.
HOW'D I GET ON THAT
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THOUGH, PRAISE GOD.
HE SAID THE TONGUE IS A FIRE, IS A WORLD OF INIQUITY
AMONG OUR BODY PARTS.
AND IT DEFILETH, IT STAINS OR SOILS THE ENTIRE BODY.
AND IT SETS ON FIRE THE WILL OF NATURE.
SO A LOT OF OUR PROBLEMS COME ABOUT BECAUSE OF OUR MOUTH.
THIS IS WHY GOD WANTS YOUR MOUTH.
ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE WHOLE ISSUE
WITH SPEAKING WITH TONGUES IS BECAUSE JESUS SAID,
"LET YOUR YEA BE YEA."
HE SAID, "LET YOUR NAY BE NAY, "ANYTHING ELSE IS OF THE DEVIL."
SO SATAN'S TRYING TO GET YOU TO TALK A LOT.
'CAUSE HE KNOWS THE POWER OF THOSE WORDS.
BUT INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING THE NATURAL STUFF,
YOU JUST (SPEAKING IN TONGUES).
YOU START SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES, PRAISE GOD, AMEN.
AND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS THAT YOU HAVE STOPPED
WHAT THE ENEMY'S TRYING TO GET YOU TO DO,
AND YOU GOT GOD COMING IN ON THE SCENE
ON THE VERY THING THAT MAKE YOU START.
I MEAN, SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS SOMETHING, PRAISE GOD,
IS ARMAMENT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO USE ALL DAY LONG.
PAUL SAID, "I SPEAK WITH TONGUES MORE THAN THE WHOLE
"CHURCH OF CORINTH COMBINED."
NO WONDER THE GUY, GOD USED THIS MAN TO PIN TWO THIRDS
OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, HALLELUJAH,
AND ONE OF THE GREATEST MEN WHO EVER WALKED
ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
BUT IF YOU SPEAK WITH TONGUES MORE THAN THE WHOLE CHURCH
COMBINED, THAT MEANS THE MAN GOT UP SPEAKING IN TONGUES
RIGHT AFTER BREAKFAST, HE SPOKE IN TONGUES.
WENT TO THE BATHROOM, HE SPOKE IN TONGUES.
BUT THE MAN, HE'S ON HIS DONKEY SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
I MEAN, HE'S WHEREVER HE'S GOING, HE'S SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
I MEAN, UNTIL HE'S SLEEPING, HE'S SPEAKING IN
TONGUES THE WHOLE TIME.
AND THEN HE SAID ABOUT THAT, PRAISE GOD,
SPEAKING IN TONGUES DOES WHAT
WELL, TURN TO 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 14, MAKE IT CHAPTER 12.
AMEN. HALLELUJAH.
NOW I KNOW YOU KNOW ALL THIS, BUT THE LORD TOLD ME TO
REMIND YOU OF ALL THIS.
AMEN. JUST LIKE HE SAID WITH PETER,
I'LL PUT YOU IN REMEMBRANCE OF THESE THINGS,
THOUGH YOU KNOW IT, SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE ESTABLISHED
IN THE PRESENT TRUTH.
HE USED THE WORD PRESENT TRUTH BECAUSE THIS CAN BE
SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, BUT THE SHARPNESS OF IT
HAS GOTTEN AWAY FROM YOU.
WE CAN LET THINGS SLIP, THE WORD SAID IN HEBREWS 2.
BUT WHAT GOD WANTS COMING DOWN THE STRETCH HERE,
HE WANTS US TO DOUBLE UP.
TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR, WE NEED TO DOUBLE UP.
TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR ON THE OTHER SIDE,
HE WANTS YOU TO DOUBLE UP.
TURN IN FRONT OF YOU OR BACK OF YOU,
SAY HE WANTS YOU TO DOUBLE UP.
COMING DOWN THE HOME STRETCH, GOD WANTS US TO COME
TO A HIGHER LEVEL.
HE WANTS US TO RAISE OUR GAME.
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME
HE WANTS US IN THE REGULAR SEASON IS ONE THING.
IF YOU GOT THE GREEN BAY PACKERS PLAYING
IN THE REGULAR SEASON, THAT'S ONE THING.
BUT ONCE YOU GET OVER INTO THE PLAYOFFS, BABY,
YOU'RE GONNA GET OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND
UNLESS YOU LIFT UP YOUR GAME.
YOU'VE GOT TO, IN THE PLAYOFFS, YOU'VE GOT TO RAISE YOUR GAME.
WE'RE GOING DOWN TO THE END OF THINGS NOW.
GOD WANTS US TO RAISE OUR GAME.
WE'RE COMING INTO THE PLAYOFFS.
WE NEED MORE PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT.
WE NEED MORE ARTILLERY GOING UP AND BOOM.
WE NEED MORE OF THE ACCURACY, HALLELUJAH,
TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW.
GOD WANTS YOU TO RAISE YOUR GAME, EVEN
THOUGH YOU MIGHT KNOW IT, YOU'VE GOT TO DOUBLE UP RIGHT NOW,
YOU'VE GOT TO TRIPLE UP RIGHT NOW, YOU'VE GOT TO LET THE
HOLY GHOST FLOW THROUGH YOU, HALLELUJAH, AND TAKE DOWN THE
DEVIL, HALLELUJAH.
GOD IS CHALLENGING YOU RIGHT NOW.
RAISE YOUR GAME.
NOTICE WHAT HE SAID, PRAISE GOD, 1 CORINTHIANS 12.
WE ALL KNOW THESE VERSES, VERSE 27,
"YE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, MEMBERS IN PARTICULAR."
GOD SET IN THE CHURCH, FIRST APOSTLES,
SECONDARILY PROPHETS, THANK GOD FOR THEM,
THIRDLY TEACHERS, AFTER THAT MIRACLES AND GIFTS OF HEALING.
THAT'S USUALLY NOTED AS AN EVANGELIST.
HELPS, AND I WANT YOU TO NOTE THIS, SEE THIS,
HELPS IS BEFORE GOVERNMENTS.
GOVERNMENTS IS GENERALLY NOTED AS THE PASTORAL OFFICE,
BUT HELPS CAME BEFORE IT.
WHY WORD HELPS MEANS ASSISTS.
BECAUSE THE PASTORAL OFFICE CANNOT OPERATE WITHOUT HELPS.
IF PEOPLE SITTING HOME JUST WATCHING ON TV ALONE
AND NOT GOING TO CHURCH, THEY ARE DEPRIVING THE CHURCH
OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OF HELP.
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME
AMEN. FELLOWSHIP AND ASSISTANCE
THAT YOUR PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS NEEDED.
NOW SOME PEOPLE JUST TURN THEIR COMPUTER OFF, WELL.
GOVERNMENT'S OFFICE OF THE PASTOR,
NOT WHERE I'M GOING THOUGH, BUT NOTICE THIS.
GOVERNMENT'S DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES.
THE WORD DIVERSITY IS THE GREEK WORD, GENOS.
GENOS MEANS BORN FROM.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE PROPHET'S OFFICE, THE EVANGELIST'S OFFICE,
THE PASTOR'S OFFICE, THE TEACHER'S OFFICE,
EVEN THE HELPS ARE BORN OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.
PRAYING IN TONGUES.
IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN YOU PRAYING FOR YOURSELF.
YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, BUT SOMEBODY,
IF YOU ARE CALLED IN ONE OF THESE OFFICES, GOD SOMEWHERE HAS
SOMEBODY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT.
SOMEBODY WAS PRAYING IN TONGUES MAYBE BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN BORN.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOUR GRANDMAMA, HALLELUJAH,
OR YOUR GREAT GRANDMAMA PRAYING IN THE HOLY
GHOST, HALLELUJAH.
AND GOD HELD THAT PRAYER BECAUSE HE NEVER FORGETS THOSE PRAYERS
JUST LIKE HE DON'T FORGET YOUR GIVING.
GOD REMEMBERS THOSE PRAYERS, HALLELUJAH.
AND HE MAY ANSWER THAT PRAYER RIGHT HERE
AT THE END OF TIME, HALLELUJAH, AND BRING BRING YOU ABOUT WITH
THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY GHOST.
THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY GHOST.
I SAID THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY GHOST.
AMEN. HERE TO TELL YOU SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS NOT A NOT
JUST SOME DEVOTIONAL THING HERE.
GO WHERE THE GOD.
WHOA. WHOA.
HALLELUJAH. AMEN.
LET'S GO BACK TO JAMES CHAPTER THREE.
Y'ALL SHOULDN'T DO THAT WITH ME WITH
THAT ORGAN.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAME FROM
I CAME FROM THE OLD PENTECOSTAL CHURCH.
YOU KNOW HOW THE LORD KNOWS YOU'RE DOWN SITTING
THERE. AND HE KNOWS YOU'RE UP RISING.
AND AHHH.
YEAH. DON'T DO THAT TO ME NOW.
DON'T DO THAT.
THAT'S WHERE I COME FROM.
I DON'T DO THAT NO MORE.
EXCEPT, UH, JUST IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.
BUT, I AIN'T READY FOR THAT.
I'M STILL TEACHING THOUGH, OKAY
BUT, OOH, LORD, Y'ALL STIRRING ME UP NOW.
I GOTTA FINISH THE TEACHING PART HERE.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
WHERE DID I TELL YOU EVEN TO GO
JAMES 3, AGAIN, PRAISE THE LORD.
AMEN. Y'ALL SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT TO ME.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE TALKED ABOUT HOW IT DEFILED THE WHOLE BODY.
I KNOW IT'S VERSE EIGHT, BUT THE TONGUE CAN NO MAN TAME.
WHAT ONE TRANSLATION SAYS IT CAN'T
BE TAMED WITH NATURAL POWER.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR TONGUE,
WHICH IS HITCHED TO EITHER THE MESS OR THE MIRACLE.
AMEN, BY YOURSELF.
NO WONDER HE SENT THE HELP OF THE HOLY GHOST.
HE SAID, "IT IS AN UNRULY EVIL.
"THAT TONGUE IS FULL OF DEADLY POISON,
"AND THAT THING'S IN MY MOUTH."
HE SAID, "THEREFORE, BLESS WE GOD, EVEN THE FATHER,
"AND THEREWITH CURSE WE MEN, "WHICH ARE MADE AFTER
THE SEMITURE OF GOD, "OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH, PROCEED
TO BLESSING AND CURSING."
AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHURCH.
OUT OF THEIR MOUTH, THEY DO BOTH.
THEY COME TO CHURCH AND DO ALL THE CONFESSIONS.
THEY GO HOME AND SAY JUST THE OPPOSITE.
THEN THEY COME BACK TO CHURCH AND SPEAK ALL THE
BLESSINGS OF THE LORD.
THEN THEY GO HOME, AND AS SOON AS SATAN
PUTS A LITTLE PRESSURE ON THEM, THEY START SPEAKING
THE OPPOSITE.
SEE, JESUS SAID IN THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER,
IN MATTHEW 13, MARK 4, LUKE 8, PARABLE OF THE SOWER,
HE SAID SATAN COMES AND ATTACKS THE CHURCH WITH FIVE THINGS.
FIRST ONE WAS AFFLICTION, THALIPSIS, AMEN.
THAT IS CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE TOUGH AND BAD, AMEN.
CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SECOND ONE WAS PERSECUTION.
THAT'S WHEN HE USES PEOPLE TO BRING THE CIRCUMSTANCE.
THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS CARE OF THIS WORLD.
THAT WORD IS DISTRACTIONS.
SO IF HE CAN'T DISTRACT YOU WITH USING THE POWER GAME
OF AFFLICTION OR PERSECUTION, THEN HE'LL TRY AND GET YOUR
ATTENTION ONTO SOMETHING ELSE.
AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS.
IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
HALLELUJAH.
BUT YOU KNOW, I GOT SAVED THAT WAY.
Y'ALL HEAR THIS STORY
I DIDN'T TELL IT THIS WEEK AT COPELAND'S, SO I HADN'T
EVEN TOLD IT RIGHT UP THERE.
SO YOU KNOW HOW I GOT SAVED
I'M COMING DOWN THE HOME STRETCH WITH THIS.
BUT I WAS A BAPTIST KID, AND I TOLD MY MAMA
I WAS NEVER GOING TO A CHURCH AGAIN.
I WAS 14.
I SAID, I AIN'T GOING TO NO CHURCH.
I WAS JUST TURNED OFF TO CHURCH.
I AIN'T GOING TO NO CHURCH.
NOW, OF COURSE, AT MY AGE, I'LL BE 70 IN ABOUT A COUPLE DAYS.
WOW. SO-- WELL, THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
SO BUT SEE, IN MY GENERATION, YOU DIDN'T
SAY NOTHING TO PARENTS.
MY GENERATION.
SO WHEN I SAID, I AIN'T GOING BACK TO CHURCH AGAIN,
NOW MY MOM'S ABOUT 4'10", 4'11", YOU GET IT
RIGHT SO I'M TOWERING OVER HER,
AND I AIN'T GOING TO CHURCH.
SHE REACHED UP.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU DON'T TELL ME WHERE YOU GOING TO GO, BOY.
YOU EAT MY FOOD.
YOU WEAR MY CLOTHES.
YOU DO WHAT-- YOU DO WHAT I-- YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID
[CLAP] BOY.
THESE KIDS DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS.
THEY BE SENDING THEIR PARENTS TO JAIL NOWADAYS.
WHEN I GREW UP, MAN.
SO, YOU KNOW, SO I WENT TO CHURCH UNDER PROTEST.
BECAUSE SHE ALSO TOLD ME, SHE SAID, "NOW, YOU GET
YOUR BUTT OUT OF HERE."
I WASN'T READY TO LIVE ON THE STREET YET, SO.
SO I WENT TO CHURCH, YOU KNOW, I WAS DOWN TO PROTEST, MAN,
BUT I WASN'T PAYING NO ATTENTION AT ALL.
ONLY THING I WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO WAS THEM GIRLS.
ALL THE BROTHERS SAID.
I GOT AN HONEST MAN HERE.
SOMEBODY IS HONEST, THANK YOU, LORD.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'M PAYING ATTENTION TO, THE GIRLS.
WELL, SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED IN THAT
I HAD A PENTECOSTAL, CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST UNCLE.
NOW HE TRIED WITNESSING TO ME AND I, GET AWAY FROM ME.
I KNOW JESUS AND ALL THAT TONGUE, Y'ALL TONGUE STUFF.
THEY TOLD ME Y'ALL ARE THE DEVIL, RIGHT
AND SO, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE LOST HIS LIFE
AND COMING HOME FROM A REVIVAL MEETING.
SO WE WENT TO THE CHURCH, AMEN, AND WHEN WE WENT TO THE CHURCH,
THIS CHURCH HAD THESE HUGE STEPS,
ALMOST LIKE A 30% GRADE, YOU KNOW.
SO WE'RE GOING UP THESE STEPS AND WHEN YOU GOT DOWN,
IT HAD A CENTER AISLE, DOWN THE CENTER AISLE THERE'S THE
CLOTHES CASKET BECAUSE HE GOT
ENTANGLED WITH AN 18-WHEELER, NOT GOOD.
AND SO YOU GOT A CLOTHES CASKET
UP THERE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE AISLE AND THERE
ARE PEOPLE DANCING IN THE AISLE.
AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE MOST GROTESQUE THING I HAD
EVER SEEN.
IT MADE ME MAD.
HE HAD MY UNCLE SITTING UP THERE.
WHAT REMAINS OF HIM IN THIS CASKET AND Y'ALL
IN THE AISLE DANCING
AND SO THE FAMILY GETS INTO THE, YOU KNOW,
FAMILY ROLES AND ALL THAT.
AND THEN THE BISHOP, WHERE I COME FROM,
THE BISHOP GOT UP AND THEN HE BEGAN TO EXPLAIN
WHY THEY WERE DANCING.
HE EXPLAINED IT, THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS, AND I AGREED.
NO QUESTION WHERE THIS GUY WAS GOING.
HIM, WE KNOW I'M GONNA SEE HIM IN HEAVEN.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, HE WAS THE REAL DEAL.
SO THEY WERE SAD HE WAS GONE, BUT THEY WERE HAPPY THAT
THEY KNEW WHERE HE WAS.
SO I CAME BACK, NOW THAT HAD AN IMPACT ON THIS KID.
SO I CAME BACK TO DETROIT, AND I GREW UP WITH A
LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMOUS AND ALL THAT.
AND SO I WENT TO ONE OF THEM, HER NAME WAS TWINKIE CLARK,
CLARK SISTERS, WHO I GREW UP WITH.
AND I SAID, "WELL, WHERE COULD I FIND SOME CHURCH LIKE THAT"
SO SHE TOLD ME WHERE.
SO IT WAS THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.
SO I WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.
THEY HAD A CHOIR REHEARSAL FOR YOUNG ADULTS,
YOUNG ADULT CHOIR, AMEN.
THEY REHEARSED ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AND I LIKE SINGING.
AND SO I'M A YOUNG PERSON.
SO I DROVE ON OVER, AND THEY HAD WEDNESDAY
NIGHT CHOIR REHEARSAL.
NOW, BACK IN THE DAY, WHEN BLACK CHURCHES
USED TO START SERVICE, THEY USED TO START
WITH THE CHOIR MARCHING IN FROM THE BACK.
YOU KNOW, WE ARE SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY.
WE HAVE TO FIGHT, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE TO CRY.
YOU MUST HAVE WENT TO SOME OF THEM CHURCHES, RIGHT
NO, BUT YOU SEEM TO KNOW IT, THOUGH.
ALL RIGHT, SO ANYWAY, SO I'M SITTING THERE IN THE BACK,
YOU KNOW, SO I'M WATCHING THEM COME DOWN.
AND I SEE THIS-- STAND UP.
COME ON, GET UP.
I'M TALKING ABOUT HER.
[LAUGHTER]
I SEE THIS-- BACK THEN, SHE HAD REALLY LONG HAIR,
LIKE WAY DOWN HERE.
I SEE THIS LONG-HAIRED, BLACK-HAIRED, FAIR-SKINNED--
THERE WERE SOME OTHERS UP THERE, TOO.
BUT I SAW THIS ONE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO FIND A DOOR.
[LAUGHTER]
AND I WENT, I'M COMING TO THE CHURCH.
YOU KNOW
[LAUGHTER]
SO I SHOWED UP SUNDAY MORNING.
NOW, I'M THINKING, BECAUSE I'M SITTING NEAR THE DOOR,
I'M GOING TO FIND THIS GIRL.
I'M GOING TO RUN MY GAME DOWN ON HER.
SHE AIN'T GOT A CHANCE.
THE GIRL DIDN'T EVEN COME TO CHURCH.
THE BISHOP PREACHED A POWERFUL MESSAGE.
I WIND UP GETTING SAVED.
THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.
IT'S WONDERFUL.
ANYWAY, SO DISTRACTION COULD BE ANYTHING.
SO IT'S AFFLICTION, PERSECUTION, CARES OF THIS WORLD.
DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES, NOT RICHES,
BEING DECEIVED, THINKING IF I JUST HAD MORE MONEY,
EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
SOME PEOPLE, IF YOU HAVE MORE MONEY, THINGS
WILL GET MUCH WORSE.
AMEN. I USED TO DO CHAPLAIN SERVICES FOR THE DETROIT LIONS.
I USED TO TAKE CARE OF THESE FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
OKAY. MONEY IS NO, IT CAN BE A REAL CURSE.
AMEN. AFFLICTIONS, PERSECUTION, CARES OF THIS WORLD,
DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES.
AND THE LAST ONE IS LUST OF OTHER THINGS.
AND PEOPLE, WHEN YOU SAY LUST OF OTHER THINGS,
NOTE THERE'S LUST OF OTHER THINGS.
AMEN. THEY WANT, PEOPLE
TEND TO THINK OF LUST ONLY IN THE SEXUAL CONTEXT.
LUST OF OTHER THINGS CAN BE, MY BODY SAYS,
I DON'T WANNA DRIVE ACROSS TOWN, IT'S COLD,
SO I'LL JUST WATCH THE SERVICE.
THEN VERSE 20 SAYS, "THOSE ON GOOD GROUND," THAT'S JAMES,
PRAISE GOD, CHAPTER 4, VERSE 20.
THOSE ON GOOD GROUND ARE THOSE WHO'VE HEARD THE WORD, RECEIVED
THE WORD, AND BRING FORTH FRUIT.
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TEACH YOU ON WHY IT'S 30, 60, 100-FOLD.
THERE'S A REASON WHY IT'S 30-FOLD.
THERE'S A REASON WHY IT'S 60-FOLD, AND THERE'S A REASON
WHY IT'S 100-FOLD, AND EVERYBODY AIN'T 100-FOLD.
THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.
I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT, BUT AMEN.
BUT THOSE WHO ARE ON THE GOOD GROUND
ARE THOSE THAT AFFLICTION, PERSECUTION, CARES OF THIS
WORLD, DECEITFUL RICHES, AND LUST OF OTHER THINGS DID NOT
STOP THEM.
THEY WENT RIGHT ON THROUGH ALL OF THAT ATTACK
OF THE DEVIL, PRAISE GOD, AND THEY BECAME THAT WHERE
GOOD MEANS BEST OR BETTER, BEST OR BETTER GROUND.
THE BEST GROUNDS ARE THESE, HALLELUJAH.
NOW, THOSE WHO ARE BEST GROUND ARE THOSE, ONE,
THEIR MOUTH IS A SUPERNATURAL INSTRUMENT.
THEY PRAY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT A LOT.
LISTEN TO ME, THEY GET CONTROL OF THEIR MOUTH.
IF IT AIN'T GONNA BE WHAT THE WORD SAID,
OR THEY'RE GONNA BE LIKE DAVID SAID,
"LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART
"BE ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, O LORD."
RIGHT
LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH BE THAT ONLY THAT'S ACCEPTABLE.
WE HAVE TO BE TIGHTER.
AMEN. BECAUSE WHAT THE
LORD SAYS WAS COMING, NOT ONLY IS GREATER REVIVAL
AND MOVEMENTS OF GOD, GOOD STUFF HAPPENING,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE'S SOME OTHER STUFF HAPPENING.
AND SO HOW YOU DON'T WIND UP WHERE YOU DON'T BELONG,
HALLELUJAH, IT'S GOT A LOT TO DO WHEN THAT GOD CONTROLS
THIS AND YOU CONTROL THIS.
ALMOST DONE NOW.
ANYBODY GETTING ANYTHING OUT OF THIS
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
PRAISE GOD.
SO YOU CAN BECOME YOUR OWN PROPHET
RATHER THAN GOD'S WHEN YOU SPEAK YOUR OWN WORDS
OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, WHAT A DEVIL.
PRAISE GOD.
NOW, WHILE ON EARTH, OUR LORD JESUS HAD THESE THINGS
WORKING FOR HIM, TAKE THIS DOWN IF YOU'RE TAKING NOTES.
JESUS HAD THE WORD ABOUT HIMSELF.
THAT 12-YEAR-OLD BOY THERE DISAPPEARED FROM HIS
PARENTS FOR THREE DAYS.
THEY FIND HIM IN A TEMPLE.
FIRST OF ALL, IF THAT HAD BEEN ME WHERE I COME FROM,
YOUR BUTT WOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED, LET ME TELL YOU.
THEY FOUND YOU ON THE THIRD DAY.
FORGET ABOUT MAMA, THAT ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN DADDY.
YOU DON'T WANT DADDY.
NO. MAMA, YOU GET TO A CERTAIN
SIZE, YOU'RE BIGGER THAN MAMA.
I AIN'T EVEN GOING TO CRY.
I AIN'T CRYING.
I'M A MAN.
I'M 12.
I'M A MAN.
SHE CAN HIT ME ALL SHE WANT.
ALL IT IS MAKE YOUR MAMA, OH, YOU AIN'T GONNA CRY, HUH
SO WE GONNA PICK UP WITH IT.
ANYWAY, Y'ALL DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE HOLY.
MY MAMA'S FROM ALABAMA.
MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA, YOU GET IT
SO HE'S SEEKING ABOUT HIS SELF.
YOU SAY, WELL, JESUS WAS JUST BORN.
HE KNEW EVERYTHING.
NO, HE DIDN'T.
HE WALKED HERE AS A MAN UNKNOWING ABOUT THE HOLY GHOST.
HE FOUND HIMSELF IN THE SCRIPTURE.
JUST LIKE YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF IN THE SCRIPTURE.
AMEN. JOHN 1:14 TELLS US WHAT
YOU ARE A SON OF GOD JUST LIKE HIM.
THIS IS THE SECOND THING JESUS HAD GOING FOR HIM.
HE FOUND HIS STANDING WITH THE FATHER.
HE KNEW HE WAS IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD.
2 CORINTHIANS 5, 17 THROUGH 21 TELLS YOU,
YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
THE THIRD THING THAT HE HAD WORKING FOR HIM,
HE HAD THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, ACTS 2:38.
HOW GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH
WITH THE HOLY GHOST POWER.
SEE, THE WORD AN IN GREEK ACTUALLY MEANS
SOEVER, WHATEVER POWER.
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT JUST THE HOLY GHOST HERE
AND THEN HIS POWER OVER HERE.
THE HOLY GHOST IS THE POWER.
I SAID THE HOLY GHOST IS THE POWER.
AMEN. SO HE'S ANOINTED WITH
HOLY GHOST POWER.
BUT WHAT DID HE TELL THOSE DISCIPLES
AMEN. HE SAID, "YOU'RE GONNA
RECEIVE POWER FROM ON HIGH."
WE TODAY HAVE THE HOLY GHOST POWER.
AMEN. FIRST JOHN 2:20 SAYS,
"WE HAVE AN UNCTION FROM THE HOLY ONE."
AMEN. VERSE 27 ALSO TELLS US
THAT WE'VE GOT AN UNCTION AND THAT WE KNOW ALL THINGS.
SOMETHING JESUS HAD THAT WE DON'T HAVE
IS THAT ADAM HAD, OR JESUS RATHER,
HAD THE PRE-ADAM AUTHORITY.
SO BEFORE ADAM SINNED, SEE, GOD HAD MADE ADAM
GOD OF THE WORLD.
SEE, THE REASON WHY SATAN COULD BE,
2 CORINTHIANS 4, "FOR IN WHOM THE GOD OF THIS WORLD
"HAD BLINDED THE MINDS OF THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT,"
HE GOT HIS AUTHORITY FROM ADAM.
SATAN COULD ONLY BE GOD OF THIS WORLD ONLY BECAUSE
ADAM WAS GOD OF THIS WORLD.
HE'S THE LESSEE.
GOD WOULDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING.
HE SAID, I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO NAME ANIMALS.
HE'S GOING TO BRING EVERYTHING IN THE EARTH IN FRONT OF YOU.
AND I'M GOING TO LET YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU CALL, AMEN, WHAT
CHARACTERISTICS YOU WANT.
YOU THE MAN.
AMEN. PRAISE GOD.
WELL, WE DON'T HAVE THE PRE-ADAMIC
THING, BUT HALLELUJAH.
WE DO HAVE THE POST THOUGH.
WE HAVE THE POST RESURRECTION AUTHORITY.
OH, YOU MISSED A GOOD
PLACE TO SAY AMEN.
WE GOT THAT POST RESURRECTION AUTHORITY.
PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER TWO, HE HAS AN AUTHORITY AND
ON A NAME THAT'S ABOVE EVERY NAME AT THE NAME OF
JESUS. EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND THREE WORLDS,
HEAVEN, EARTH, AND HELL.
EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS OR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT JESUS CHRIST
IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY OF ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.
HALLELUJAH. AND THEN HE SAID,
NOW YOU GO WITH THAT.
SO HE GAVE US HIS AUTHORITY OVER HEAVEN, EARTH, AND HELL.
THAT'S HOW MUCH AUTHORITY YOU HAVE.
AND HOW MUCH YOU WALK IN THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR FAITH.
AND IT'S FIVE ELEMENTS.
AND THEN PRAISE GOD.
HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH.
JESUS HAD COMMUNICATION AVAILABLE TO HIM,
TO THE FATHER, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY PURE.
GUESS WHO ELSE HAS IT
WHEN WE PRAY IN OTHER TONGUES, WE'RE 1 CORINTHIANS 14, 2.
AND WE HAVE ABSOLUTE PURE COMMUNICATION WITH THE FATHER
ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, ROMANS 8, 26, 27.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY ALL THINGS CAN WORK TOGETHER
FOR THE GOOD OF THEM THAT LOVE GOD AND WHO ARE CALLED.
AND WHO ARE CALLED.
AND WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS INTENTION.
NOT FOR EVERYBODY.
ALL THINGS DON'T NECESSARILY WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD.
THEY CAN'T WORK FOR YOUR BAD.
IF YOU'RE NOT WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING
WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING,
YOU'D BE ON SATAN'S GROUND.
AMEN YOU PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST,
GOOD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST.
I SAID GOOD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST.
ANYBODY CAN USE SOME MORE GOOD THINGS HAPPENING,
PRAISE GOD.
HALLELUJAH. INSTEAD OF MAYBE
LISTENING TO THAT MUSIC, GOT NOTHING AGAINST THE MUSIC,
BUT YOU MIGHT WANNA SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME
PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST THAN JUST LISTENING.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST
WHEN YOU'RE PUSHING THAT VACUUM CLEANER.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST
JUST BEFORE YOU HIT THE HOME RUN.
GLORY TO GOD, HALLELUJAH.
YOU NEED TO UP YOUR GAME, WHAT THE SPIRIT
SENT ME TO TELL YOU.
YOU NEED TO UP YOUR GAME.
WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IN THIS TOWN AND ACROSS THE NATION
IS GOING TO REQUIRE MORE THAN YOU ARE PUTTING OUT RIGHT NOW.
HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE AN EVEN HIGHER LEVEL
SO HE CAN PUSH THIS THING ALL OVER THE ENTIRE GLOBE.
GLORY TO GOD.
I SAID ALL OVER THE ENTIRE GLOBE.
TO EVERY KIND OF CREATURE, PRAISE GOD,
WHETHER THEY'RE WHITE OR BLACK, WHETHER THEY'RE MALE OR FEMALE,
WHETHER THEY'RE EUROPEAN OR AFRICAN OR ASIAN OR WHATEVER,
PRAISE GOD.
DO YOU KNOW THIS CHURCH ON THIS CORNER IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA,
CAN BE USED BY GOD TO REACH EVERY MAN, WOMAN, BOY,
AND GIRL IN THE WORLD.
BUT IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE
A GREATER OUTPUT OF POWER, A GREATER OUTFLOW
OF THE HOLY GHOST.
IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A MOVE OF THE SPIRIT
AT GREATER MEASURE.
SO GOD'S GOING TO BRING YOU FRESH ANOINTING.
HE'S GOING TO BRING YOU A NEW THING.
HALLELUJAH. AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO RAISE YOUR GAME, BUT SOMEBODY BEGINS TO PRAY IN
THE HOLY GHOST.
THE ENEMY COMES TO YOU AND SAY THAT THERE'S NO WAY.
AND YOU SAY,
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
AND AS YOU BEGIN TO PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
BEGINS TO HAPPEN.
THE ARTILLERY GOES UP, GLORY TO GOD, AND BEGINS TO HIT THE DEVIL
UPSIDE THE HEAD.
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU.
MAKES A WAY WHERE THERE IS NO WAY.
GLORY TO
I SAID, GLORY TO GOD. GLORY TO GOD.
SO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I AM READY.
I AM READY TO DO WHAT THE LORD SAID
TO DO, TO PRAY IN THE MORNING, PRAY IN THE NEW DAY,
PRAY IN THE EVENING TIME. HALLELUJAH. WOO.
THERE'S ONE OTHER WAY.
MATTHEW 12, 36, JESUS SAID, "OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE
HEART, THE MOUTH SPEAKETH."
SO YOU GOTTA FILL YOURSELF UP WITH WORD.
LOTS OF MEDITATION ON THE WORD MORE THAN YOU DO.
DON'T JUST LOOK FOR HIM AND HER TO FEED YOU.
HALLELUJAH. FEED YOURSELF.
I SAID FEED YOURSELF.
FEED YOURSELF SOME STEAK WORD, HALLELUJAH.
AMEN. THEN PUT SOME HOT SAUCE OF TONGUES ON IT, GLORY TO GOD.
AND THEN FEED YOURSELF SOME MORE.
AND THEN PUT SOME HOT SAUCE ON IT.
YEAH!
HALLELUJAH.
I THINK I BETTER GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE.
COME ON!
GET YOUR HOLY GHOST ON!
DO I HAVE ANY PRAISERS IN THE HOUSE?
(MUSIC)
HEY HEY HEY! HEY HEY HEY!
COME ON. ANY HOLY GHOST PENTECOSTALS IN THE ROOM?
NOW, IF YOU NEED TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST
AND SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES, RUN!
RUN TO THE FRONT.
COME ON, DON'T DELAY, RUN!
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, THIS IS YOUR TIME.
COME ON, YOU'VE NEVER SPOKEN IN TONGUES.
RUN TO THE FRONT.
COME ON, RUN TO THE FRONT.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
THERE'S SOME MORE.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES) COME ON.
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.
THIS IS, COME ON, SOME OF YOU GET YOUR PRAISE ON.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
NOW IF YOU'RE UP HERE AND YOU'VE NEVER SPOKEN IN
TONGUES, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.
NOW I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
CAN YOU TALK IN TONGUES WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED
OKAY, THE BIBLE SAID THEY SPOKE WITH OTHER TONGUES AS THE
SPIRIT GAVE THEM THE UTTERANCE.
BUT THEY HAD TO OPEN THEIR MOUTH.
NOW HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
I WANT YOU TO PRAY A PRAYER AFTER ME.
JUST PRAY.
SAY THIS, SAY, "HEAVENLY FATHER, I THANK YOU JESUS DIED FOR ME.
HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD SO THAT I COULD BE SAVED.
JESUS, FORGIVE ME OF EVERY SIN.
WASH ME CLEAN.
JESUS, I MAKE YOU THE LORD OF MY LIFE.
AND THAT MEANS I'M A CHRISTIAN.
I'M A CHILD OF GOD.
NOW HOLY SPIRIT, FILL ME LIKE YOU FILLED THE
PEOPLE OF THE BOOK OF ACTS.
FILL ME WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
AND I EXPECT NOW TO SPEAK IN TONGUES AS YOUR
SPIRIT GIVES ME THE WORDS.
NOW, COME ON, EVERYBODY BEGIN TO PRAY IN TONGUES.
I WANT SOME WORKERS TO COME UP.
BEGIN TO MOVE YOUR MOUTH.
IF ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS STAMMER AND STUTTER, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
COME ON, THEY'RE DOING IT.
JUST BEGIN TO MOVE YOUR MOUTH.
YOU'VE GOT TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
EVERYBODY ONLINE, IF YOU'VE NEVER SPOKEN IN TONGUES,
OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
NOW SOME OF YOU ARE GETTING A FRESH RIVER.
YOU'RE GETTING A FRESH FLOW RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE GETTING A FRESH FLOW OF THE HOLY GHOST.
COME ON, BEGIN TO SPEAK IN TONGUES.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
COME ON. YEAH. HEY.
COME ON, SOME OF YOU NEED TO RUN.
SOME OF YOU NEED TO RUN AND BEGIN TO DANCE FOR YOUR VICTORY.
DANCE FOR YOUR FRESH ANOINTING. HEY. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
DANCE FOR YOUR HEALING.
DANCE FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH. PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT.
WHOA, NOW GIVE THE LORD ONE MORE GREAT BIG SHOUT OF PRAISE.
HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH.
BISHOP, ALL I KNOW IS YOU UNLOCKED SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE.
FRESH RIVER, FRESH RIVER.
NOW TOUCH YOURSELF BEFORE YOU GO.
SAY, "NOW LORD, I'M GONNA KEEP THAT FLOW GOING.
I'M PRAYING IN TONGUES DAY AND NIGHT.
RELEASE ME NOW INTO THAT FRESH RIVER.
EVERY WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN THAT IS NOT ALIGNED
WITH YOU, I SPEAK A CROP FAILURE.
EVERY IDLE WORD, EVERY WORD OF UNBELIEF, I SPEAK A
CROP FAILURE.
AND NOW, LORD, WASH MY MOUTH AND MAKE IT CLEAN.
ALL RIGHT, LEVEL SOMEBODY.
I'LL TURN IT OVER, PASTOR DOUG.
GIVE IT UP FOR PASTOR DOUG.
AMEN. HALLELUJAH.
HALLELUJAH. AM I ON TODAY
CAN YOU HEAR ME
OK, WE'RE GOOD.
HEY, I'M GOING TO ALLOW THOSE WORKERS
THAT NEED TO WORK AT THE INFORMATION CENTER
OR CONNECT CENTER.
I KNOW THERE'S FIVE OR 10 OF YOU.
YOU CAN BE DISMISSED NOW.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
GIVE THEM A HAND AS THEY LEAVE TO GO TO WORK.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
ALTAR TEAM, ALTAR TEAM, IF YOU COULD RUN UP HERE QUICKLY.
IF YOU NEED PRAYER TODAY, OUR ALTAR TEAM WILL
BE IN PLACE FOR YOU.
THEY'RE HONORED AND AVAILABLE AND EQUIPPED
WITH THE POWER OF GOD TO PRAY WITH YOU.
IF YOU NEED SOMETHING TODAY, YOU CAN COME SEE THEM AT THE
CONCLUSION OF THE SERVICE WHEN WE DISMISS YOU.
ALSO, OUR PRAYER NUMBER IS ON THE SCREEN NOW.
IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER WITH PASTOR BRENDA,
SHE PRAYED THE SALVATION PRAYER.
IF YOU BELIEVED IT WITH YOUR HEART AS YOU PRAYED IT OUT,
THEN YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD.
SO I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT AGAIN TODAY,
BUT YOU CAN CALL THAT NUMBER, 855-777-7907,
24 HOURS A DAY, AND OUR PRAYER COUNSELORS ARE THERE
TO AGREE WITH YOU, SEND YOUR LITERATURE,
AND HELP YOU WITH YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD.
OR IF YOU RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
OR WANT TO, A PRAYER COUNSELOR IS EQUIPPED TO HELP YOU
WITH THAT.
SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT LINE IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY
OR WATCHING AN ARCHIVE.
I DO WANT TO SAY THIS.
WE WANT TO BLESS-- YOU CAN BE SEATED FOR JUST A MOMENT.
I WON'T KEEP YOU LONG.
BUT WE WANT TO BLESS BISHOP BUTLER.
HOW MANY OF YOU ARE BLESSED BY HIS MINISTRY TODAY
HE, YOU KNOW, HE IS A SPECIAL MINISTER THAT'S BEEN GOING FOR
MANY YEARS, BRINGING THE WORD OF FAITH, AND WE
NEED TO SUPPORT HIM.
YOU KNOW, THE MONETARY SUPPORT THAT YOU SHOW FOR THOSE THAT
GOD BRINGS IN HERE, AND HE BRINGS IN HIS CHOICE SERVANTS
TO THIS PLACE, I'M HONORED BY EVERYONE THAT COMES HERE.
AND WE HAD SUCH A GREAT WEEKEND THIS PAST WEEKEND,
AND IT JUST GOT EVEN BETTER TODAY.
SO WHAT A WAY TO CAP IT OFF.
BUT YOUR MONETARY SUPPORT IS YOUR BAROMETER
OF WHAT YOU THINK OF GOD, REALLY,
HOW YOU SUPPORT HIS SERVANTS, BECAUSE THAT'S
YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE TO GOD.
AND AS YOU SUPPORT BROTHER BUTLER AND HIS WORK,
YOU'RE SUPPORTING GOD'S WORK.
SO IF YOU NEED AN ENVELOPE TODAY, RAISE YOUR HAND,
AND THE USHERS WILL ASSIST YOU WITH THAT.
THE GIVING INFORMATION IS ON THE SCREEN.
YOU CAN DO THAT AS A GUEST OFFERING IN
THE DROP-DOWN SCREEN.
AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF BISHOP BUTLER,
MAKE SURE THAT HIS NEEDS ARE MET AND HIS MINISTRY IS BLESSED
AS HE GOES FORTH AND DOES EVERYTHING HE DOES
IN THE GREAT CITY OF DETROIT AND AROUND THE
WORLD IN HIS MINISTRY. AMEN.
SO I'M JUST GIVING A SECOND HERE FOR THE USHERS TO ASSIST
YOU AND TO FILL THOSE OUT.
AND WHILE THEY'RE DOING THAT, BEFORE YOU RECEIVE USHERS,
GIVE PEOPLE A LITTLE TIME.
I'LL JUST MAKE TWO QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS, THINGS
THAT ARE COMING UP.
SOME OF YOU HEARD PASTOR BRENDA SAY THERE'S A MEMBERSHIP
SEMINAR THIS COMING THURSDAY NIGHT.
BISHOP BUTLER ALSO SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
HE SAID HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE HELPS MINISTRY
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HELPS MINISTRY.
YOU CAN'T BE INVOLVED IN LORD OF HOSTS HELPS MINISTRY
WITHOUT BEING A MEMBER.
AND HE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
HE SAID, FELLOWSHIP AND ASSISTANCE REQUIRES
PHYSICAL ATTENDANCE.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID TODAY.
AND IF YOU'RE ATTENDING HERE AND YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER,
BUT YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHERE GOD HAS SENT YOU TO WORK,
PUT YOUR HAND TO THE PLOW AND DO SOMETHING HERE,
BUT YOU'RE ATTENDING AND RECEIVING, BE A MEMBER.
JOIN THE MULTITUDES OF MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE,
AND WE'LL PUT YOU TO WORK, WHETHER IT'S ON A TV CAMERA,
GREETING AT THE DOOR, OR USHERING, OR DRIVING.
BY THE WAY, WE HAVE TWO SHUTTLE BUSES RUNNING THE PARKING LOT
RIGHT NOW, SO WE JUST ADDED ONE.
SO, GETTING INTO WINTER, WE NEEDED TWO.
WE NEEDED TO DROP OFF AND PICK UP.
SO YOU HAVE THAT SERVICE AVAILABLE.
THOSE THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE AS WE ADD THEM, BUT WE'RE
GOING TO BE DOING MORE.
AND WE NEED TO AS THE EXPANSION GROWS.
SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT YOU CAN HELP WITH.
ANYONE HERE LIKES TO DRIVE SHUTTLE BUSES
WE COULD USE ANOTHER HAND AT THAT.
SO GOD BLESS YOU FOR THAT.
BUT OUR MEMBERSHIP SEMINAR, YOU CAN SIGN UP
AT THE INFORMATION CENTER AS YOU LEAVE TODAY.
AND THAT'LL BE THURSDAY EVENING.
AND THEN WE WILL RECEIVE YOU IN AS MEMBERS NEXT SUNDAY.
PASTORS WILL LAY HANDS ON YOU.
AND THAT'LL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
TO PUT YOUR HAND TO THE PLOW AND DO SOMETHING
WHILE YOU'RE HERE AT THE CHURCH.
AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANTED TO MENTION,
AND THEN WE'LL RECEIVE THE OFFERING,
IS THE OTHER THING THAT'S HAPPENING THIS THURSDAY NIGHT,
ALL IS MERRY AND BRIGHT, IS PREMIERED THIS WEEK IN OMAHA.
IT WAS ACTUALLY FILMED ON LOCATION IN OMAHA.
YOU'LL SEE SOME THINGS DOWN BY THE OLD MARKET
AND STUFF IN THAT MOVIE.
SO IT'S A GREAT MOVIE, GETS YOU STARTED ON
THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, BUT IT HAS A CHRISTIAN THEME,
ACTUAL PHYSICAL HEALING TAKING PLACE IN THAT MOVIE,
WHICH YOU DON'T SEE A LOT.
SO SUPPORT THAT.
WE BOUGHT OUT A THEATER FOR YOU.
AND I THINK WE HAVE 20 TICKETS LEFT, $12 A PIECE.
YOU CAN USE THAT QR CODE AND SIGN UP.
OR GO TO THE INFORMATION CENTER IF YOU NEED HELP, AND
THEY'LL HELP YOU WITH THAT.
GET YOUR TICKETS FOR THAT BEFORE THEY'RE SOLD OUT THIS
THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE ACX THEATER IN ELKHORN.
WELL, USHERS, GO AHEAD AND RECEIVE THE
OFFERING, IF YOU WOULD, TODAY.
IF YOU ARE GIVING BY PHONE OR DEVICE, WHY DON'T
YOU STAND WITH ME.
WE'RE GOING TO PRAY AND BLESS THAT OFFERING,
AND THEN I'LL DISMISS YOU.
FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE THAT'S IN THIS PLACE TODAY
AND EVERYONE WATCHING ONLINE.
THOSE THAT ARE ABLE TO GIVE INTO BISHOP BUTLER'S MINISTRY,
WE CALL THEM BLESSED NOW.
AND I THANK YOU, LORD, THAT THERE'LL BE A GREAT RETURN
ON EVERYTHING THAT WAS RECEIVED TODAY.
AND LORD, WE'RE STANDING IN FAITH THAT YOU'RE DOING MIRACLES
FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS SERVICE AND WATCHING ONLINE.
WE GIVE YOU PRAISE, AND I ASK YOU, LORD,
TO WATCH OVER THIS CONGREGATION AND ALL THOSE ONLINE
AND GIVE THEM A GREAT, WONDERFUL WEEK FILLED WITH PEACE, LOVE,
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCY AND GRACE.
IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS WE PRAY, AMEN, AMEN.
YOU CAN BE DISMISSED, BE BACK IN THE HOUSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FOR PASTOR BRENDA, AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THEN.
[MUSIC]
