(MUSIC)
COME ON CHURCH, GET UP ON YOUR FEET THIS MORNING.
WE SERVE AN AMAZING GOD. SO AWESOME, SO AWESOME.
(MUSIC)
HALLELUJAH! OUR GOD'S AN AWESOME GOD. LORD,
WE WORSHIP YOU. YES, LORD! WE STAND IN AWE AND
AMAZEMENT OF YOU, THE ALMIGHTY GOD. OH, YES, LORD!
WE WELCOME YOU TODAY TO HAVE YOUR WAY, YOUR SAY.
GOD, WE HONOR YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR HEART.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HONOR GOD SAID... AMEN. ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S GOOD. I MEAN, I HEARD IT IN EVERY SECTION TODAY.
THAT'S GOOD. MUST BE BECAUSE SPRING'S IN THE AIR.
YEAH. HOW MANY WOULD KIND OF LIKE TO THINK THAT SPRING'S
IN THE AIR? YOU THINK SPRING'S IN THE AIR? I THINK
IT'S A TEASER. IT'S A TEASER. I HEARD SOME BIRDS CHIRPING.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO ZERO DEGREES. I'M NERVOUS.
IT'S ONLY JANUARY. NO, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE 50 DEGREES.
IT'S JANUARY. IT'S JANUARY. I'M GLAD IT'S JANUARY AND 50, AREN'T
YOU? WELL, YES. YES, I AM. BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS.
ONCE YOU GET TO THE 21ST OF THIS MONTH, WHICH IS
ONLY 10 DAYS AWAY, YOU'RE ONLY 60 DAYS AWAY UNTIL SPRING.
NOBODY'S COUNTING, APPARENTLY. WHO'S COUNTING?
ANYBODY COUNTING? I DID. I WAS DOWN IN HOUSTON.
DID ANYBODY WATCH FLASHPOINT HOUSTON?
THAT WAS REALLY, REALLY A LOT OF FUN. BUT IT WAS 80 DEGREES
DOWN THERE. 80 DEGREES. THOSE POOR PEOPLE. 80 DEGREES.
AND SO I STILL WORE MY COAT SO THAT IT WAS A REMINDER
OF WHAT I WAS GETTING READY TO COME BACK TO. SO IT WAS GREAT.
I'M GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO WATCH IT. THAT'S WONDERFUL.
IT WAS POWERFUL TOO AND SO ENCOURAGING.
AND WOW, I MEAN THERE WAS JUST FIRE. ALL THE GUESTS,
EVERYTHING THEY HAD TO SHARE, I LOVED IT. YEP, ALL
RIGHT. WELL I WANNA DO THIS, I WANNA GREET ALL
OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD.
AND I GOT TO MEET MANY OF YOU IN HOUSTON AS WELL.
AND IF YOU DID WATCH, LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS TALKING ABOUT FLASHPOINT,
PASTOR GENE AND I DID A WEDNESDAY NIGHT SPECIAL
AND THANK YOU CONGREGATION FOR UNDERSTANDING THAT WE JUST
FELT TO DO IT ONLINE. BUT WE COVERED A LOT OF MATERIAL SO
YOU CAN GO OUT AND YOU CAN LOOK AT SOME OF THE ARCHIVES THERE
ON THAT WEDNESDAY NIGHT SERVICE. AND WE'RE GOING TO
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT TODAY. PASTOR ANTHONY IS GOING
TO COME UP A LITTLE BIT. WE'RE GOING TO KIND
OF TALK JUST A FEW MOMENTS ON VENEZUELA.
BUT THEN WE'RE JUST GOING TO KIND OF
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IRAN BECAUSE A LOT OF THINGS ARE
HAPPENING. AND SO WE'LL DO KIND OF A LITTLE MINIATURE, A
LITTLE PROPHETIC PULSE FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO
PREACH TO YOU AGAIN, JUST REALLY TALKING ABOUT THIS SEASON
THAT WE'RE IN THAT WE NEED TO REALLY GET READY.
THERE MAY BE CONFLICTS IN THE EARTH, BUT
GOD IS THE GOD OF CONQUEST. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING.
SO HOW MANY THINK YOU'LL KIND OF ENJOY THAT? ABSOLUTELY.
THAT'D BE AWESOME. AWESOME. AND IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD
WORD. ALL RIGHT. WELL, BEFORE WE WORSHIP THE
LORD, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW THIS,
BUT MAYBE YOU DON'T GO TO A LOT OF MOVIES OR THOSE OF YOU
THAT ARE WATCHING, BUT I HEAR THEY'RE CRACKING DOWN SECURITY
AT THE MOVIE THEATERS NOW. YEAH, I KNOW. ESPECIALLY
FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE PUTTING CANDY, YOU KNOW,
INTO THEIR POCKETS AND STUFF, SNEAKING THEM IN, AND
THEY'RE CRACKING DOWN ON SNACKS AND CANDY, BECAUSE
TOO MANY ARE HAVING TOO MANY TWIX UP THEIR SLEEVES.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU DO GO TO A MOVIE,
THAT YOU'RE PREPARED, MAKE SURE YOU BUY WHAT'S THERE AT THE,
YOU KNOW, PAY A HUNDRED BUCKS FOR YOUR CANDY
BAR AND YOUR, YOU KNOW. THAT WAS SPECIAL.
BRENDA, I THOUGHT IT WAS A SWEET ONE.
OK. ALL RIGHT. LET'S STOP WHILE WE'RE AHEAD. OK, THAT
WAS-- I THOUGHT IT WAS OK. YOU COULD SAY IT WAS SOUR,
TOO. IT WAS SOUR. SOUR, SWEET, CANDY. THEY HAVE BOTH.
OK. OK. I THINK WE SHOULD WORSHIP-- GIVE PASTOR A HAND,
AT LEAST, FOR THAT JOKE. OK, SO HERE'S THE THING.
LET ME JUST SAY THIS BEFORE-- IN ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN
GIVING YOU A LITTLE BIT OF SOME INFORMATION
LIKE THIS, THIS IS THE WORST ONE OF THEM ALL.
NO, NO, IT WAS CUTE. I LIKED IT. I LIKE TWIX. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. ARE YOU READY TO PRAISE THE LORD THIS MORNING?
ALL RIGHT. WELL, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY IN
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. IT'S GOING TO BE ENCOURAGING.
DON'T YOU LOVE COMING TO CHURCH WHERE YOU CAN BE
ENCOURAGED, STRENGTHENED? COME ON, BE WITH THE BODY OF CHRIST.
THERE'S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE THAN WITH GOD'S PEOPLE.
SO I THINK WE OUGHT TO THROW THOSE HANDS WAY UP TO HEAVEN
AND SAY, LORD, I'M GOING TO PRESS IN TODAY. I'M GOING TO
LEAN INTO YOU. I'M GOING TO THINK ABOUT HOW GOOD YOU ARE.
LORD, HOW YOU'VE BLESSED ME. SO I'M ASKING YOU TODAY,
TOUCH MY HEART, TOUCH MY MIND, AND I PROMISE TO GIVE
YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE. COME ON, SHOUT LIKE YOU'RE EXCITED
AND LET'S PRAISE THE LORD. COME ON, CHURCH.
LET'S GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE THIS MORNING.
(MUSIC)
(WORSHIP MUSIC)
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE FACING, NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH, HE'S UNDEFEATED. HE'S NEVER LOST A BATTLE.
(WORSHIP MUSIC)
THERE'S NOBODY LIKE YOU, JESUS. WE WORSHIP YOU. COME ON,
CONTINUE TO DECLARE HIS NAME. THERE'S NOBODY LIKE YOU, JESUS.
YESHUA, THE LIVING GOD, WE WORSHIP YOU. THERE'S NOBODY LIKE
YOU, JESUS. YOU'RE THE KING OF ALL KINGS, LORD OF ALL LORDS.
YOU ARE THE MOST HIGH GOD. YOU ARE THE TRIUMPHANT ONE. WE
WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU, JESUS. JUST SAY HIS NAME, JESUS.
JESUS. SOME OF YOU, YOU MAY WANNA SAY YESHUA. THAT IS HIS
NAME, YESHUA, JESUS. COME ON, SAY HIS NAME. COME ON, ALL OVER
THE WORLD, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, SAY HIS NAME.
COME ON, LET ME HEAR YOU. I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
(CONGREGATION SHOUTING)
LET EVERY DEVIL IN HELL HEAR IT. COME ON. LET EVERY ANGEL IN
HEAVEN HEAR. COME ON, LET THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES HEAR YOU SAY
HIS NAME. JESUS. YESHUA, YESHUA, YESHUA, YESHUA, YESHUA, YESHUA,
YESHUA, YESHUA, YESHUA, YOU ARE LORD. YESHUA, OVER THE EARTH.
YESHUA, OVER IRAN, THE MIDDLE EAST. YESHUA, OVER AMERICA, THE
UNITED STATES. YESHUA, OVER AUSTRALIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE,
EUROPE, ASIA, CHINA, YOU, YESHUA. THE ISLANDS OF THE SEA,
YOU ARE THE VICTORIOUS ONE, YESHUA. WE WORSHIP YOU. HOW MANY
OF YOU IN THIS ROOM, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MAYBE
YOU'RE SAYING TODAY THAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH SOME KIND OF
BATTLE, THAT YOU NEED YESHUA. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE HAND OF
GOD HAS GOTTEN US TO THE VICTORY, PSALM 92. HOW MANY OF
YOU BELIEVE THAT? THIS IS THE TIME OF THE HAND OF GOD, THE
FINGER OF GOD. AND I FEEL TO DO SOMETHING. PASTOR DODJI, I'M
GONNA TAKE A BOLD STEP HERE. BUT I WAS STANDING ON THE FRONT ROW
AND I HEARD THESE WORDS. I HEARD, "HAVE DAVID PRAY." AND I
SAID, "DAVID," HE SAID, "YES, "OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES AND
SUCKLINGS, "HAVE I ORDAINED PRAISE TO STILL THE AVENGER?"
AND I SAID, "DAVID," AND THEN IT DAWNED ON ME, I TURNED AROUND
AND I SAW HIM WORSHIPING. "HOW OLD ARE YOU, DAVID?" "ELEVEN."
"WOULD HE BE READY? WOULD DAD COME NEXT TO YOU?" BRING HIM ON
UP ON STAGE. I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU PRAY A PRAYER. AND I FEEL
LIKE I'M OBEYING GOD, DAVID. CAN SOMEBODY GRAB A MICROPHONE? I
WANT YOU TO PRAY. DAD WILL BE BY YOUR SIDE. IF YOU'RE NOT
COMFORTABLE, ARE YOU COMFORTABLE? ARE YOU GOOD? OR IS
THIS TOO BIG FOR YOU? IF PASTOR STEPS BY YOU, COULD YOU PRAY A
PRAYER OR WOULD YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE? HUH? YOU'RE GOOD?
HE SAID, I'M GOOD. OF COURSE YOU ARE. SO FATHER, PASTOR DODJI,
STAND BY HIM. I RELEASE THE ANOINTING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD
UPON YOU, UPON YOUR LIFE, UPON YOUR DESTINY, UPON THE WORDS OF
YOUR MOUTH, THE UTTERANCES OF YOUR LIPS, AND I RELEASE A GRACE
THAT STANDS OVER YOU AND OVER YOUR LIFE, THAT YOU WILL STAND
CLOSE TO GOD, YOU WILL HEAR HIS HEART, AND YOU WILL SHARE HIS
WORDS. I SPEAK AND I DECLARE FOR AN IMPARTATION OF GRACE AND
BOLDNESS. LET IT REST UPON YOU AND UPON YOUR SHOULDERS, FOR YOU
WILL STAND IN THE AUTHORITY OF GOD FOR THE DAY THAT YOU'VE BEEN
CALLED TO, AND THE GRACE THAT YOU WILL STAND IN. NOW RELEASE
THAT UPON HIM. ALL RIGHT, NOW DAVID, HERE'S THE THING. THERE'S
PEOPLE HERE, SEE THE CAMERA RIGHT THERE, THAT ARE GOING
THROUGH SOMETHING. THEY'RE PUTTING LIKE, YOU KNOW, HAND,
LIKE LITTLE HAND, I FORGET WHAT THEY'RE CALLED, MOJOS OR MOJIS.
YEAH, MOJIS, AND THEY'RE PUTTING THEM UP RIGHT NOW. THERE'S
PEOPLE, PUT YOUR HANDS UP RIGHT HERE IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A
BATTLE. AND I WANT YOU TO PRAY, AND HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO
DO. THERE'S AUTHORITY, WHICH MEANS THERE'S TREMENDOUS POWER
IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AND THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN WE USE THE NAME
OF JESUS, IF YOU DO ANYTHING THAT YOU PRAY OUT OF YOUR MOUTH,
YOU JUST SAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND SAY IT WITH
AUTHORITY, SAY IT WITH POWER, BECAUSE THAT IS THE GREATEST
NAME THAT EXISTS IN ALL OF EXISTENCE, OKAY? BUT WHAT I DO
WANT YOU TO DO IS TELL THE DEVIL TO GET HIS HANDS OFF OF THE
PEOPLE. YOU KNOW HOW TO PRAY, YOU GOT DAD AND MOM. ARE YOU
READY? ALL RIGHT, NOW YOU GOTTA PUT THE MICROPHONE RIGHT UP
HERE. ALL RIGHT, DO YOU WANT ME TO HOLD YOUR HAND, OR YOU GOT
IT? MAN, YOU GOT IT, ALL RIGHT, GO FOR IT. IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
I REBUKE EVERY DEVIL, EVERY DEMON ON YOUR HEAD. I SAY YOU
LEAVE NOW IN JESUS' NAME. I SAY YOU CANNOT TOUCH THE HOUSE OF
GOD. I REBUKE YOU, I SAY GO BACK TO THE PIT OF HELL WHERE YOU
CAME FROM. IN JESUS' NAME, NO MORE DEMONS IN HERE, NOW! I
REBUKE YOU, GET BACK! IN JESUS' NAME. RAISE YOUR HAND, START
PUTTING IT ON WHERE YOU NEED HEALING FOR.
IN JESUS' NAME, START PRAYING IN TONGUES.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
PRAY HEALING, PRAY HEALING OVER YOUR BODY NOW, IN JESUS' NAME.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
START WORKING ON THE DEVIL. SAY THIS, SAY DEVIL YOU CANNOT TOUCH
ME OR MY FAMILY. THIS IS AN EVICTION THAT LIVES INSIDE OF ME
IN JESUS' NAME. THANK YOU, LORD. SO GOD, WE COME INTO AGREEMENT
AND THE AUTHORITY OF YESHUA'S NAME, WE COME INTO AGREEMENT
THAT EVERY DEVIL, EVERY DEMON, EVERY WITCH, EVERY WARLOCK,
EVERY WORKER OF INCANTATION AND DIVINATION, ANY ALTARS WHERE OUR
NAMES ARE BEING MENTIONED, WE CALL UPON YESHUA AND UPON YOUR
FIRE, HOLY GHOST, DESTROY EVERY ALTAR OF INCANTATIONS, DESTROY
EVERY CURSE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE ENEMY. THEY CANNOT PROSPER
AGAINST THE PEOPLE. WE ARE COVERED, WE ARE SEALED IN THE
BLOOD OF THE LAMB OF GOD AND IN THE AUTHORITY AND THE POWER OF
HIS NAME AND OF OUR COVENANT. WE ARE REDEEMED AND LET THE
REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO. SO WE SAY SO. WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE
REDEEMED OUT OF THE HAND OF THE ENEMY. SAY THAT. I AM REDEEMED
OUT OF THE HAND OF EVERY DEVIL, EVERY DEMON, EVERY WITCH, EVERY
WARLOCK, EVERY AND ALL ASSIGNMENTS OF EVIL. I AM
REDEEMED OUT OF THE HANDS OF WICKED AND UNREASONABLE MEN. MY
LIFE IS PROTECTED, PRESERVED UNDER THE BLOOD OF YESHUA. AMEN.
MAN, THAT WAS FIRE. DIDN'T HE DO A GOOD JOB? AMEN. ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU DO THIS? WHY DON'T YOU FIND OUT IF THERE'S
ANOTHER DAVID AMONG YOU OUT THERE, SHARE YOUR NAME, AND SAY,
"I BET I KNOW, I BET I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS." I MEAN,
YOU KNOW, WE'RE ONLY 11 MONTHS AWAY. ALL RIGHT,
GREET SOMEBODY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

FASTING MONTH SO THERE'S PRAYER GOING ON AT THE CHURCH AND
DIFFERENT SCHEDULED TIMES, AS WELL AS THERE IS PRAYER GUIDE
OUT THERE, GIVE YOU SOME PRAYER POINTS, INFO ON FASTING.
ACTUALLY, I WAS GONNA DO SOME TEACHING LAST WEEK, BUT WE
REALLY FELT THAT SINCE PASTOR GENE DECIDED TO JUST CALL THAT
TIMING AND DO THAT PROPHETIC SHOW, JUST TO SHIFT TO AN
ONLINE-ONLY SERVICE. AND THANK YOU FOR BEING GRACIOUS FOR THAT.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD OTHER CHURCHES AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT ARE
ACTUALLY GONNA SHIFT THEIR SERVICE TO AN ONLINE JUST TO
WATCH THAT PROGRAM. SEVERAL HAD SAID THAT, SO I THOUGHT, YOU
KNOW, IT JUST WOULD HAVE BEEN COUNTERINTUITIVE FOR ALL OF US
TO BE HERE DOING THAT LIVE AND MISSING THAT. AND LET'S BE REAL,
WE ALL WANTED TO BE WATCHING IT ANYWAY. SO, THAT'S OKAY. SO IT
WAS GOOD AND IT JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE CAN ALL GO TO
IT ONLINE ONLY. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO OPEN THE CAMPUS FOR THAT. AND
BOY, WAS IT POWERFUL. SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION. AND YOU KNOW,
IT'S GOOD TO WAGE WAR WITH THOSE PROPHETIC WORDS. AND GOD DOESN'T
JUST SHARE THEM SO THAT WE DO NOTHING WITH IT. WE'RE MEANT TO
USE IT AS A PRAYER PIECE, A PRAYER POINT. WE'RE MEANT TO USE
IT SO THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, BRING IT UP BEFORE THE LORD,
WAGE WAR, RIGHT? THE BIBLE SAYS, WITH THE PROPHECIES THAT HAVE
GONE ON BEFORE YOU. SO JUST, IT WAS SO GOOD. BUT WANNA REMIND
EVERYBODY JUST TO BE INVOLVED IN PRAYER. THIS WEDNESDAY, WE'RE
GONNA BE HERE IN FULL FORCE AND LET'S JUST PRAY AND HIT THE
HEAVENS AND BELIEVE THE LORD TOGETHER THIS WEDNESDAY. AND
THEN ALSO WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY, IF YOU DID WATCH
FLASHPOINT LIVE THIS PAST WEEK, OBVIOUSLY MARTIN SEDRA WAS
THERE, BUT HIS BROTHER ANDREW, I GET THEM CONFUSED 'CAUSE THEY
LOOK THE SAME. ANYBODY ELSE DO THE SAME THING? I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW THERE WAS TWO FOR A WHILE. I WAS LIKE, IS THAT THE SAME
GUY? WHAT IS HIS NAME ACTUALLY? ANYWAY, BUT ANDREW SEDRA WILL BE
HERE JANUARY THE 25TH, SO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THAT. IT'S
GOING TO BE AMAZING, AND WE'RE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO
THAT. WE'RE GOING TO BE PLANNING SOME EXTRA GUEST SPEAKERS. I
THINK MY NECKLACE IS UNHAPPY WITH THE MIC. JUST LET'S KEEP
GOING, RIGHT? AS JARED IS LOOKING AT ME IN THE BACK AND
GRINNING AND SMILING AND DOING THE GREAT BRAIN LAUGHING. I SEE
THAT, JARED. DON'T THINK I DON'T. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
ANYWAY, SO FUNNY. HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE JARED ELWINE, THE GREAT
BRAIN OF THE HOUSE? YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY, I HAVE TO TELL THIS.
WHEN MY COMPUTER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK RIGHT, I ALWAYS CALL HIM
AND SAY, "IT'S ACTING UP, IT NEEDS STUFF," WHICH I DO NEED A
NEW BATTERY, BY THE WAY. I THOUGHT I'D TELL YOU THAT. IT
SAYS ON THERE, "MY BATTERY HAS FAILED." SO, ANYHOW, I JUST
THOUGHT OF THAT JUST NOW. SQUIRREL. ANYWAY, BUT, SO FUNNY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR CAR TO
THE CAR PLACE TO GET IT REPAIRED, ALL THE NOISE,
EVERYTHING IT DID, WHEN YOU GET THERE, IT DOESN'T WORK. MY
COMPUTER, IT'S TRUE, IT'S LIKE DADDY JARED WALKS IN THE ROOM
AND THE COMPUTER'S LIKE, "I'M PERFECT, I'M GOOD, EVERYTHING'S
FINE." I'M LIKE, "REALLY, REALLY, I'M NOT THAT ENOUGH."
ANYHOW, BUT JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU, BE HERE FOR ANDREW SEDRA,
IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING. AND THEN, WOMAN YOU ARE ANOINTED IS COMING
UP, IT'S AROUND THE CORNER, APRIL 17TH THROUGH THE 19TH. BE
THERE, THESE ARE ALL MY GUESTS. OF COURSE, NICOLE C. MULLEN'S
GONNA BE BACK. SHE JUST REVS US UP EVERY TIME. KAREN WHEATON
WILL BE BACK WITH US, AND CANDY CHRISTMAS AS WELL. IT'S GONNA BE
FUN. WE'RE GONNA DO IT RIGHT HERE IN THE TABERNACLE, JUST
LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR, AND WE GOT SOME FUN THINGS PLANNED. SO
YOU WANNA BE PART OF THAT. COME ON IN AND INVITE A FRIEND. IT'S
FREE FOR THEM TO ATTEND. SO JUST BRING SOMEBODY. AND FOR THOSE OF
YOU THAT WOULD BE TRAVELING IN FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY OR OTHER
PLACES, WE DO HAVE HOTEL ROOM BLOCKS, SO YOU CAN GET OUT
THERE. THERE'S ALL THAT INFORMATION COMING UP ON YOUR
SCREEN. AND THEN JUST AS A QUICK REMINDER, OPENING THE HEAVENS,
CAN YOU BELIEVE 2026? HERE WE ARE, THERE ARE THE DATES. PUT
THOSE IN YOUR CALENDAR, GET YOUR TIME OFF WORK, PUT IN FOR YOUR
VACATION NOW, PLAN TO BE HERE. AND FOLKS, THOSE OF YOU THAT
WOULD BE COMING FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY, I'M PUTTING THE PLUG IN
NOW THAT THIS IS MIDTERM YEAR, SO DON'T STAY HOME. LET'S GET IN
THE ROOM. I AM ABSOLUTELY, YOU CANNOT TELL ME OTHERWISE. I
MEAN, SERIOUSLY, TELL ME I'M WRONG, BUT TRULY THAT NIGHT WHEN
WE WERE AT, NOT THIS PAST OPENING THE HEAVENS, 2024,
RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION, AND WE WERE PRAYING AND PROPHESYING.
I REMEMBER SMOKE ON THE WATER THAT WHOLE NIGHT WITH PASTOR
HANK, AND JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE RELEASED
THROUGH THAT WHOLE THING, COURT OF HEAVEN, I AM CONVINCED, AND
I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE THE ONLY ONES, BUT THAT GATHERING WAS KEY
TO THE TURN OF THAT ELECTION. I'M CONVINCED ABOUT IT, AND SO
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT US ALL GETTING IN THE ROOM, SO MAKE
THE PLANS SEPTEMBER 10TH THROUGH THE 13TH, GET THE TIME IF YOU
CAN, GET IN YOUR CAR, DRIVE. IN FACT, I'M AMAZED, SOME OF YOU
ONLINE, AT SOME OF THE STORIES OF PEOPLE AND HOW YOU GET TO THE
CONFERENCE. JUST, I MEAN, STORIES OF YOUNG WOMEN WHO DROVE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ONE LADY FROM LIKE NORTH CAROLINA, ALL
THE WAY, DROVE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO BE PART OF IT. SO
DON'T STAY HOME, PUSH, PRESS YOURSELF. I THINK IT'S GONNA BE
A POWERFUL YEAR GOING INTO THE MIDTERMS. AND I WOULD JUST SAY
THIS, I WOULD REMIND ALL OF US, SOME OF THOSE PROPHETIC WORDS
REGARDING THE MIDTERMS, LET'S BE USING THOSE RIGHT NOW AS A
PRAYER POINT DURING THIS TIME OF FASTING, LEADING CLEAR UP TO THE
ELECTION. SO IT'S GONNA BE GOOD. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M JUST
DETERMINED. I LOVE WHAT I THINK IT WAS MILLIE SEDRA SAID ON
THERE, AND THIS JUST STUCK TO MY MIND. SHE SAID THESE WORDS, SHE
SAID THAT FOR EVERYBODY THAT THINKS THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE
INVOLVED IN THE POLITICAL OR INVOLVED IN POLITICS, SHE SAID
EVERY PERSON THAT THINKS THAT, THAT'S FINE, BUT ISLAM IS HAPPY
TO TAKE YOUR SEAT. AND SO I'M LIKE, NO, I'M NOT OKAY WITH
THAT. WE HAVE GOT TO HAVE OUR VOICE BE HEARD, AND THAT'S WHY
WE WILL ALWAYS USE THIS PULPIT AS A PLACE TO SPEAK BOLDLY, TO
INVOLVE THE CHURCH. COME ON, EVERYBODY BEING, AMEN TO THAT,
THAT EVERYBODY HAS A PLACE, AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO TAKE OUR
SEAT AT THE TABLE IN SOME FASHION. NOW, IT'S DIFFERENT FOR
EVERYBODY, BUT WE HAVE WAYS TO EVEN GET INVOLVED HERE AT LORD
OF HOSTS CHURCH, SO WE NEED TO DO IT, AMEN? LET'S JUST DO IT.
LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBORS, SAY, "LET'S DO IT." AMEN, THAT SHOULD
BE A GOD STATEMENT, NOT FOR NIKE. ALL RIGHT, JUST DO IT, ALL
RIGHT. OFFERING SCRIPTURE, LET'S PUT THAT UP FOR TODAY. I'LL BE
VERY QUICK. AND BY THE WAY, I'M GONNA SKEDADDLE OUT OF HERE
RIGHT AFTER OFFERING WHILE PASTOR PREACHES. OUR LITTLE, ONE
OF OUR GERMAN SHEPHERDS CUT HER NOSE AND IT'S BEEN A LITTLE
STRUGGLY, SO I NEED TO GET HER UP TO THE VET. SO WE'RE GONNA DO
THAT AND TAKE CARE OF OUR LITTLE POOKIE BEAR. SO ANYWAY, SHE'S
BLEEDING ALL OVER THE HOUSE. I DO NEED THAT FIXED, ALL RIGHT.
SO LET'S GET TO IT. SO PROVERBS, SO WATCH THIS, 11 VERSE 8, IT
SAYS, "FOR THE RIGHTEOUS," TOUCH YOURSELVES, SAY, "I'M THE
RIGHTEOUS." "THE RIGHTEOUS IS DELIVERED OUT OF TROUBLE." THIS
IS THE SCRIPTURE THE LORD PUT IN MY SPIRIT BEFORE THE TURN OF THE
NEW YEAR, AND I'M JUST STICKING WITH IT THIS JANUARY. THIS IS MY
REMINDER THAT ANY TROUBLE, COME ON, IF YOU RECEIVE PRAYER TODAY,
ANY TROUBLE THAT YOU'VE BEEN IN, ANYTHING YOU'VE BEEN WALKING
OUT, WALKING THROUGH, TRUSTING GOD, ANY AREA, THE RIGHTEOUS IS
DELIVERED. THAT NEEDS TO BE YOUR MOTTO, YOUR BELIEF, YOUR
DECLARATION, YOUR DECREE, EVERYTHING YOU SAY, THE
RIGHTEOUS IS DELIVERED OUT OF TROUBLE. AND THEN IT SAYS, AND
THE WICKED COMES IN HIS STEAD. NOW, LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU WITH
THIS. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THE FAMOUS SCRIPTURE, GALATIANS 7,
RIGHT? OR GALATIANS 6, VERSE 7, IT SAYS THESE WORDS, "BE NOT
DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED FOR WHATEVER WE SOW." NOW I WANT YOU
TO THINK FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THE SEED YOU PUT IN. YOU KNOW, SO
MANY TIMES I READ THAT SCRIPTURE ON A NEGATIVE. OH, WHAT YOU SOW,
YOU REAP. LIKE YOU TALK WRONG, YOU REAP WRONG. YOU KNOW, IF YOU
HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE, YOU REAP A BAD ATTITUDE. IF YOU'RE MEAN,
PEOPLE WILL BE MEAN TO YOU, THIS KIND OF THING. YOU KNOW, WE READ
IT IN A NEGATIVE BECAUSE THE TONE OF IT IS A LITTLE BIT THAT
WAY, IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN CONTEXT, BUT THE TRUTH IS THE
SAME. BE NOT DECEIVED, GOD'S NOT MOCKED, FOR WHATEVER WE SOW.
NOW, I WANT YOU TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT YOU SOWED IN 2025 OR
HAVE ALREADY SOWN IN 2026. THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE. YOUR
TITHES, YOUR OFFERINGS, WHAT YOU PUT UP BEFORE GOD. HOW MANY OF
YOU IN THE ROOM AND THOSE OF YOU ONLINE, YOU HAVE A SEED THAT YOU
HAVE PUT IN THE GROUND FOR A SPECIFIC AREA, PUT YOUR HAND UP.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING AND YOU'RE BELIEVING GOD IN THAT AREA.
YOU'RE TRUSTING THE LORD. WELL, DON'T LET THE DEVIL DECEIVE YOU,
THINK ABOUT THIS, INTO THINKING THAT THAT HARVEST ISN'T GONNA
COME, OKAY? NO, YOU'RE GONNA COME OUT OF THAT TROUBLE. YOU'RE
GONNA COME OUT OF IT. GOD'S NOT MOCKED. WHATEVER WE SOW, THAT
SHALL WE REAP. PUT UP VERSE 8. AND LET US NOT BE WEARY. WELL,
THAT'S VERSE 9. GO BACK TO VERSE 8 SO I CAN JUST ADD SOME
CONTEXT. FOR HE THAT SOWS TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP
CORRUPTION. IN OTHER WORDS, YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. THAT IS TRUE,
OKAY? IF WE SOW TO OUR CARNAL FLESH, WE'RE GONNA REAP THE
RESULTS OF IT. IF YOU LEAVE GOD OUT OF THE EQUATION, YOU'LL REAP
THE RESULTS OF IT, RIGHT? WE KNOW THAT, OKAY? BUT THEN IT
GOES ON TO THE FLIP SIDE, AND IT SAYS, "BUT HE THAT SOWS TO THE
SPIRIT," AMEN, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU TITHE, THAT IS SPIRITUAL SOWING.
WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR OFFERING, THAT'S SOWING TO THE SPIRIT.
COME ON, IN THE NATURAL, YOU COULD USE YOUR TITHE ANYWHERE
ELSE. YOU KNOW, YOU GO GET A MORTGAGE WITH THE BANK, YOU
KNOW, AND THEY'LL SAY, "WELL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE "THIS MUCH
INCOME TO AFFORD THE HOUSE, "YOU KNOW, YOUR DEBT TO INCOME
RATIO," WE KNOW ALL ABOUT THOSE THINGS. AND YOU KNOW, I MEAN,
YOU THINK ABOUT HOW WE LIVE AS CHRISTIANS. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WE
GIVE A TENTH WHEN THEY COUNT THAT. AND I'M LIKE, "YEAH, I
KNOW, WE'RE BETTER OFF THAN MOST PEOPLE. WE DON'T NEED THE
TENTH." YOU'RE AFFORDING YOUR MORTGAGE WITHOUT THE TENTH. MOST
OF THE WORLD COULD NEVER DO THAT. THEY STRUGGLE TO GET BY
WITH THE 10TH AND THEN SOME. BUT BECAUSE WE'VE SOWN TO THE
SPIRIT, WE SHALL OF THE SPIRIT REAP. HALLELUJAH, THAT NEEDS TO
BE YOUR ATTITUDE THIS YEAR. YOU KNOW WHY I KNOW I'M GONNA COME
OUT OF TROUBLE? 'CAUSE I HAVE SOWN TO SPIRITUAL THINGS. I HAVE
SOWN. COME ON, I'M NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER. LET EVERY DEVIL
IN HELL HEAR IT. LET EVERY ANGEL HEAR IT. I'M NOT TAKING NO. I'VE
SOWN TO THE SPIRIT. AND BY GOD, BROTHER, I'M GOING TO REAP IT.
THAT'S MY ATTITUDE. I'VE GOT SEED IN THE GROUND. I'VE GOT
SEED IN THE GROUND. I'M COMING OUT OF MY TROUBLE. I'M COMING
OUT OF HARDSHIP. I'M COMING OUT OF HARD TIMES. I'VE SOWN TO THE
SPIRIT AND OF THE SPIRIT, I'M GONNA REAP LIFE. HEY, HEY, HEY.
AMEN. NOW READ VERSE 9. LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "BUCKLE
UP." THIS VERSE IS GONNA CATAPULT YOU OUT OF HERE. LET US
NOT BE WEARY. YOU KNOW, QUIT GIVING UP. WE'VE ALL GONE
THROUGH SOMETHING. COME ON. YOU KNOW, THE DEVIL IS SO GOOD AT
MAKING YOU THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT GOES THROUGH ANYTHING.
JARED WASN'T GOING TO BE HAPPY. TYRONE IS THERE DOING PRAYING
HANDS. I DON'T KNOW, IT COULD BE A DEVIL WHIP. THE DEVIL IS SO
GOOD AT MAKING YOU THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT'S EVER HAD A
HARDSHIP. HE LOVES TO PLAY THAT GAME. OH, NOBODY KNOWS THE
TROUBLE I'VE SEEN. AND SO WE THINK, "OH, I'VE TITHED LORD."
"GOD, I GAVE THAT SEED." OKAY, THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID IN
MALACHI. GOD SAID, "WELL, YOUR WORDS HAVE BEEN STOUT AGAINST
ME." OKAY? DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THAT GROUP. LET US NOT BE
WEARY. COME ON, THE DEVIL WANTS TO WEAR OUT THE SAINTS. DANIEL
SAYS THAT. THAT HE WAS GOING TO WORK IN THE LAST DAYS TO GET YOU
TIRED, TO THINK THAT THOSE SEEDS DON'T WORK. YOU KNOW, I'M
CONVINCED THAT THERE ARE HARVESTS THAT PASTOR HANK AND I
ARE WALKING IN NOW THAT WE SOWED FOUR YEARS AGO. OKAY, BUT YOU
KNOW WHAT? THE HARVEST IS STILL JUST AS SWEET. AND SOME OF THE
BEST HARVESTS ARE THINGS YOU WAIT FOR. DON'T LET THE DEVIL
TALK YOU OUT OF IT JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE IN A WAITING SEASON. LET
US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL-DOING. COME ON, FOR IN DUE SEASON,
YOU'RE COMING OUT OF TROUBLE. IN DUE SEASON, YOU SHALL REAP. I'M
GONNA REAP. IF, IF, IF, IF, IF, WE DON'T GIVE UP. SO I'M GONNA
ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY, DO NOT GIVE UP. IF YOU'RE A TITHER, YOU
STAND THERE AND PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN ON THE ENEMY'S HEAD. IF
YOU'RE AN OFFERING GIVER, YOU'RE FAITHFUL TO GOD, YOU'RE KEEPING
YOUR MOUTH THE WAY IT NEEDS TO GO, YOU'RE HOLDING ON, YOU STAY
WITH IT. NOTHING IN THE WORD SAYS YOU HAVE TO FEEL IT. YOU
DON'T HAVE TO FEEL IT TO BELIEVE IT. YOU JUST BELIEVE IT. YOU
JUST DO IT. YOU HOLD ON TO IT. AND EVERY TIME YOU PUT YOUR
PHONE IN YOUR HAND TO GIVE, EVERY TIME YOU TITHE, EVERY TIME
YOU HOLD UP THAT OFFERING, YOU SAY, "I'M COMING
OUT OF THIS TROUBLE IN JESUS' NAME." COME ON,
GIVE GOD A SHOUT IF YOU BELIEVE IT.
(CONGREGATION CHEERING)
ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN.
(MUSIC)
I'M DOING IT CAREFUL, I DON'T WANT THE BEADS TO COME OFF AND
HIT THE PEOPLE, BUT THAT'S OKAY. TEXT TO GIVE, WEBSITE, MOBILE
APP, ENVELOPE, THERE'S ALL THE INFO. LET'S GET THAT BUILDING
PROJECT UP. WE HAVE SOME THINGS COMING. I KNOW I KEEP TELLING
YOU THAT, BUT IT'S COMING. AND MANY THINGS HAPPENING. IN FACT,
IT'D BE OKAY, PASTOR DOUG, I THINK I CAN SAY THIS. IN FACT,
I'M GOING TO SAY IT GOOD. I KNOW I'LL SAY IT RIGHT. OUR CALL
CENTER THAT'S OVER HERE, THE COMPLETE CALL SOLUTIONS, THEY'RE
NO LONGER IN THE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING AS A TENANT, AND LORD
OF HOSTS HAS ASSUMED THE SPACE. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. COME
ON, GIVE GOD A HAND FOR THAT. AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE DID
NOT ASK THEM TO DEPART. WE'VE NEVER DONE THAT. NOT ONE TENANT
THAT'S EVER BEEN HERE, IF YOU SEE THEM GO, DON'T LET THE WORD
ON THE STREET LIE TO YOU. WE HAVE BLESSED EVERY TENANT. WE
HAVE UPHELD EVERY TENANT. THEIR LEASE WAS UP IN DECEMBER, AND
THEY CHOSE NOT TO RENEW AND FOUND A BETTER SPACE. AND SO,
WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE TO LOSE THE
INCOME, BUT I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, GOD WILL MAKE IT UP. GOD ALWAYS
DOES, RIGHT? EVERYONE THAT HAS DEPARTED, BUT WE, AND JUST FOR
THE RECORD, ANYBODY WATCHING, I'M GOING TO SAY IT, WE HAVE
ALWAYS BLESSED OUR TENANTS. SO ANYBODY THAT'S EVER SAID
ANYTHING, THAT CHURCH TRIED TO GET US OUT OR MOVE US OUT OR GOT
RID OF PEOPLE, WE DIDN'T GET RID OF A SINGLE PERSON. EVERY SINGLE
PERSON, THEIR LEASE WAS OVER, AND THEY CHOSE TO FIND A BETTER
SPACE. AND IN SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS, ACTUALLY NOT SO MUCH
THAT BUILDING, BUT SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS, THEY'RE SO BAD THEY
SHOULDN'T WANNA RENEW. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO FIX 'EM, AMEN. SO I
JUST WANNA SAY THAT FOR THE RECORD. BUT THANK YOU, THAT'S
ONE OF THE THINGS, NOT THE BIGGER THING, BUT THAT'S ONE OF
THE THINGS. I BELIEVE THERE'S MORE ACQUISITIONS AND THINGS
GOD'S GONNA DEMAND OF US THIS YEAR. IN FACT, I KNOW SOME
THINGS THAT THERE WILL BE. SO LET'S JUST GET THAT BUILDING UP.
IS THAT OKAY TO SAY? I THINK I'M SAYING THAT WELL. BUT YOU'LL SEE
THAT THERE ARE SIGNS DOWN AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE LEASE
ENDED. SO JUST KNOW THIS, THAT LET'S GET THE BUILDING FUND UP
BECAUSE WHATEVER, WHEN GOD SAYS MOVE ON SOMETHING, COME ON
SOMEBODY, COME ON, WE GOTTA BE ABLE TO MOVE. WHEN GOD SAYS GO
NOW, WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO DO IT. AMEN, SO THAT'S THE BUILDING
FUND UP THERE. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE FAITHFUL IN
2025 INTO 2026, IN JESUS' NAME, WE'RE SO GRATEFUL. WELL, IF
YOU'VE GOT YOUR OFFERING READY, LET'S STAND UP. I'LL GET MY
DEVIL WHIP OUT ONCE MORE. JUST FOR FUN, ISN'T THAT FUN? YOU
KNOW, MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO DO THAT WITH YOUR ENVELOPE REAL QUICK.
JUST, I'M COMING OUT. LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR, SAY, I'M COMING
OUT. TOUCH YOURSELF, SAY, I'M COMING OUT. NOW TELL THE DEVIL,
SAY, SEE THIS? THIS IS SEED. THIS IS TITHES. IT'S GOING INTO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF GOD'S KINGDOM.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE WEARY IN WELL DOING. I'M GOING TO REAP
AND I WON'T GIVE UP. I'M GOING TO KEEP CLAIMING MY HARVEST
BECAUSE DEVIL I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM COMING OUT OF TROUBLE. NOW
GIVE GOD A GREAT BIG SHOUT. HALLELUJAH! ALL RIGHT. PUT UP
OUR DECLARATION. HEY, LET'S, CAN WE MEAN IT EXTRA BIG TODAY? THAT
QUADRUPLE PART, I WANT TO MEAN IT FOR REAL. IN FACT, I GOT TO
PUT MY WHIP OUT ONE MORE TIME. PUT MY WHIP OUT. LET'S GO. YOU
READY? YOU CAN PUT OUR DECREE UP. LET'S GO. EVERYBODY'S GOT TO
SEE IT ON THE SCREEN, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE IT MEMORIZED.
YOU GUYS LOST THE DECREE IN 2026? WHERE ARE WE GOING WITH
THIS? WE DECLARE THE CAMPUS AND MINISTRY OF LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH
SHALL BE INCREASED, EXPANDED AND DEBT FREE. WE DECREE IT SHALL
HAPPEN WITHOUT DELAY. WE SAY TO EVERY HEAVENLY ASSIGNMENT, BE
BUILT UP AND FINISH. WE SAY THAT WE HAVE ALL THE FINANCES NEEDED.
COME ON, KEEP YOUR WHIP GOING. IT'S BUILDING THIS HOUSE. WE
HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EXCESS AND OVERFLOW. LORD, YOU ARE
PROVIDING SEED TO THE SOWER. WE CALL UPON YOU, LORD OF HOSTS, TO
BRING FORTH HEAVENLY ASSISTANCE 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, SHOUT AS
YOU GIVE AND LET'S WELCOME PASTOR HANK.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
ALL RIGHT, I APPRECIATE, APPRECIATE YOU TAKE CARE OF THE
LITTLE ONE. BY THE WAY, THAT, EVERY TIME YOU SWUNG THAT CHAIN
IT WAS LIKE A CHAIN REACTION FROM THE PEOPLE AND EVERYTHING.
IT WAS GREAT. SO, ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED.
THANK YOU, USHERS, YOU CAN USH THE PEOPLE. THANK YOU FOR BEING
SUCH A BLESSING TO GIVE AND TO HELP THE MINISTRY. WE ARE VERY
GRATEFUL. SO, YES. OH, YES, AND WE WOULD ALSO, PASTOR DOUG HAS
LET ME KNOW, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE GOING TO BE BAPTIZED TODAY,
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE DISMISSED. WHERE ARE THEY TO GO?
OKAY, AND THEN MEET OUT IN THE FOYER. THERE'LL BE SOMEONE THERE
TO MEET YOU, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE BEING BAPTIZED TODAY. SO,
WELL, I'D LIKE TO INVITE PASTOR ANTHONY TO COME. I NEVER KNOW
WHERE HE'S AT. LAST WEEK WE DID THIS AND HE WAS LIKE HIDING
BEHIND THERE. AND I THINK AT ONE POINT, WEREN'T YOU BEHIND THAT
WALL THERE? I THINK YOU WERE FINISHING UP YOUR DONUTS OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I CAN'T REMEMBER. I COULDN'T FIND
YOU, I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE. SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. SO
WHAT WE WANNA DO, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY IS
WE JUST WANNA TAKE JUST A FEW MOMENTS AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE NEWS TO KIND OF GIVE YOU,
AND THIS IS IMPORTANT WHAT I SAY IS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES IN
THE EARTH YOU GET THE MEDIA'S PERSPECTIVE. AND DEPENDING UPON
WHAT YOU LISTEN TO, EITHER IT'S FALSE OR IT HAS AN ELEMENT OF
TRUTH TO IT. SO PEOPLE GET THEIR OPINIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
SOMETIMES BY THE NEWS. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, A LOT OF TIMES
WHAT GOD SAYS IN THE EARTH, PEOPLE DON'T LIKE. BUT IT
DOESN'T MATTER. SO YOU HAVE THE MEDIA THAT IS ONE WAY THAT
PEOPLE GET THEIR INFORMATION. THE NEXT THING IS THERE'S
INTELLECTUAL PEOPLE, PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT
THINGS IN THE EARTH. THEY HAVE WISDOM, THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE,
THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE, THEY HAVE THEOLOGY, AND THAT'S ALL GREAT.
BUT WHAT OFTEN ISN'T REVERED AND RESPECTED IN THE EARTH, AND IT'S
WHY THE PROPHETS THROUGH THE AGES WERE STONED AND THEIR BLOOD
STILL SPEAKS TODAY, IS BECAUSE PEOPLE, THEY DON'T HONOR IT, AND
YET IT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF INFORMATION IN THE EARTH.
SOMETIMES I'VE SAT ON FLASHPOINT AND I'VE LISTENED TO
PONTIFICATION. I'VE LISTENED TO GREAT THEOLOGY, GREAT
PERSPECTIVES, GREAT COMMENTARIES, GREAT POLITICAL
PUNDITRY. AND I SIT THERE AND I HEAR GOD SPEAKING IN MY EAR
GOING, THAT AIN'T IT. NOW, A LOT OF TIMES IT IS AND IT DOES HELP
YOU. AND IT GIVES US A STRATEGY ON HOW TO DO THINGS IN THE
EARTH. BUT WE NEED TO HEAR GOD. AND WE NEED TO NOT JUST HEAR
GOD, BUT WE NEED TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HE IS
SAYING. SO THIS IS IMPORTANT THAT WE BRING THIS TO YOU, THE
WORD OF THE LORD AND WHAT IS ALREADY HAPPENED AND WHAT IS
TRANSPIRING, RIGHT? WHEN JOHN WAS CAUGHT UP IN THE BOOK OF
REVELATION, THE WORD OF THE LORD WAS COME, COME UP HIGHER. AND I
THINK IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT THE CHURCH NEEDS TO LEARN IS
WE'VE GOTTA COME UP HIGHER AND START GETTING GOD'S THRONE ROOM
PERSPECTIVE. AND WE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED THAT IN 2020, BUT IT
COST US BECAUSE 2 CHRONICLES 20:20, WHICH COINCIDED WITH 2020
SAYS, 2 CHRONICLES 20:20, BELIEVE THE LORD AND YOU WILL BE
ESTABLISHED. AND ONE OF THE REASONS OUR COUNTRY STRUGGLED SO
MUCH IN PEOPLE FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS IS BECAUSE PEOPLE SHIFTED
INTO FEAR, INTO FALSE, INTO FAKE, AND BELIEVE THAT OVER GOD.
AND SO WE WEREN'T ESTABLISHED AND WE STRUGGLED AS A PEOPLE.
BUT THEN 2 CHRONICLES 20:20 SAYS, "BELIEVE THE PROPHETS AND
YOU WILL PROSPER." OUR COUNTRY DIDN'T PROSPER, THE EARTH DIDN'T
PROSPER. WE WENT THROUGH A VERY HARD SEASON IN THE EARTH BECAUSE
PEOPLE STARTED HITTING ON TRUE MESSENGERS THAT UNLESS THEY
CHOOSE THEMSELVES, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS, IF THEY ARE SET IN
THE EARTH BY JESUS, WHO ARE WE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THEM? THEY
HOLD A SACRED PLACE, NOT ONLY IN THE HEART OF GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT PROPHETS ARE CALLED THE FRIEND OF GOD. AND IT WAS THE
ONLY OFFICE SET BY JESUS THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THEY DON'T
RECEIVE HONOR, DON'T TOUCH THEM. BUT YET PEOPLE DID. THEY TOUCHED
THE VARIOUS VESSELS THAT WERE CARRYING THE TRUE WORD OF THE
LORD. AND SOMEHOW WE STRUGGLED. AND HOPEFULLY GOING FORWARD NOW,
WE WILL LISTEN. AND SO I SAY THAT BECAUSE I WROTE A BOOK THAT
I WAS ASKED TO WRITE BACK IN 2000, I THINK ’18, ’19. THEY
SAID, "CAN YOU WRITE A BOOK ON THE PROPHETIC?" AND I SAID,
"MAN, MY SCHEDULE'S CRAZY, BUT I WILL." AND SO I WENT BEFORE THE
LORD AND I SAID, "GOD, I DON'T WANNA JUST WRITE A BOOK. "I
ALREADY WROTE A PROPHETIC BOOK. "IT'S CALLED 'THE REVEALER OF
SECRETS'." AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS ENOUGH. AND I HEARD THE LORD
SAY, "NO, THIS IS DIFFERENT. "I WANT TO SHARE SOME THINGS FROM
MY THRONE ROOM." AND IMMEDIATELY I HEARD THRONE ROOM PROPHECY,
THRONE ROOM SECRETS. AND SO I SAID, "WELL, LORD, HERE'S THE
THING. "IF I WRITE THIS BOOK, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TEACH ME
"SO THAT I CAN TEACH THE PEOPLE." I DON'T WANNA JUST
WRITE A BOOK. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'VE GOT THIS BOOK ON ME
RIGHT NOW, BECOMING A FRIEND OF GOD, AND THEY CALLED THE OTHER
DAY AND SAID, "HOW'S IT COMING?" I'M LIKE, "I'M WORKING ON IT."
BUT I DON'T WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO WRITE IT. I WANNA WRITE THIS AS
AN HONOR TO GOD, BECOMING A FRIEND OF GOD. WELL, THAT'S WHAT
I DID WITH THIS BOOK. IF THEY'LL PUT IT UP, IT'S CALLED "THRONE
ROOM PROPHECY." NOW, I'M GONNA ASK EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT'S
WATCHING IN THIS ROOM, YOU NEED TO GET THIS BOOK. NOT BECAUSE
I'M TRYING TO SELL A BOOK, I'M TRYING TO GET YOU SO THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE TO SIT THERE AND ARGUE WITH PEOPLE OR GET IN
FEAR. I'M ASKING YOU LITERALLY, GET THE QR CODE RIGHT THERE. GET
IT, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, WELL, GIVE IT AWAY TO SOMEBODY THEN.
YOU'LL LOVE IT. BECAUSE IT IS A MESSAGE FROM THE HEART OF GOD.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT TRUE PROPHETS, FALSE PROPHETS. THAT'S
ONE CHAPTER IN THERE. SO PEOPLE THAT WILL WRITE, "WELL, YOU
OUGHT TO BE STONED." AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. AND THEN THEY
QUOTE DEUTERONOMY 18, DEUTERONOMY 13, AND THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND THEOLOGICALLY THAT DOESN'T APPLY IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT. THEY DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT EVEN THEN IN THE
BIBLE THAT IF SOMEBODY COMMITTED ADULTERY OR SOMEBODY IN THE SAME
HOUSE WOULD HAVE A FALSE DREAM AND GIVE THE SAME FALSE WORD,
RIGHT? WHICH IT WASN'T THE WORD BEING FALSE BECAUSE HERE'S THE
THING. IT WAS IF YOU LED PEOPLE AWAY WITH YOUR WORDS IN SERVING
THE LIVING GOD, THAT'S WHEN YOU WERE ALIGNED FOR STONING.
BECAUSE IT SAID EVEN YOUR RELATIVES IN DEUTERONOMY, YOU
READ IT IN 18 AND 13, IT TALKS ABOUT IF SOMEBODY WHO HAS A
DREAM, EVEN AMONG YOUR RELATIVES, THAT DRAWS THE PEOPLE
AWAY FROM HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD. NOW, THERE SHOULD BE A HIGH
STANDARD, BUT GOD UNDERSTOOD THE HUMAN FRAILTY, THE HUMAN FACTOR.
AND I EVEN TALK IN THAT BOOK ABOUT, WELL, SAMUEL'S WORDS
NEVER FELL TO THE GROUND. WHY, WHY DID IT SAY THAT? 'CAUSE IF
YOU BELIEVE THAT HIS WORDS FELL TO THE GROUND AND THAT THAT IS
THE STANDARD OF THE PROPHETS, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO STONE
JONAH, YOU'D HAVE TO STONE ISAIAH, YOU'D HAVE TO STONE
DAVID BECAUSE HE COMMITTED ADULTERY. SO SOMETIMES WE'RE SO
QUICK TO SHIFT OVER INTO THE STONING LAW, BUT IT'S NOT
CONSISTENT. IT WASN'T CONSISTENT WITH OTHER PROPHETS. WHEN THEIR
WORDS, I TAUGHT YOU ABOUT, WELL, ANYWAY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT
SUBJECT, BUT YOU'LL SEE WHERE I POINT IT OUT AND I TEACH YOU,
BUT THEN I SHOW YOU HOW TO HEAR FROM GOD AND I SHOW YOU HOW TOO
MANY PEOPLE ARE SEEKING A WORD. I DON'T SEEK WORDS. NOW I DO ASK
GOD, BUT I SEEK HIM. AND SO I TEACH YOU ALL THIS. AND IT'S A
REAL BOOK THAT'LL DRAW YOU CLOSE TO INTIMACY WITH GOD SO THAT YOU
WILL ALIGN YOURSELF. SO YOU'RE NOT MOVED BY THINGS. PEOPLE SAY,
WELL, PASTOR HANK, HOW DID YOU KEEP FROM BEING MOVED? BECAUSE
GOD TAUGHT ME HOW TO STAY IN THERE WITH WHAT HE SAYS AND
TRUST HIS VOICE. SO I'M ASKING YOU TO GET THAT TODAY. IT'LL
REALLY HELP YOU. AND I THINK, AND BY THE WAY, IT CAME OUT
SEPTEMBER OF 2020, RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION. AND IT GOT
HAMMERED. PEOPLE HAMMERED THAT BOOK, ALL THE TROLLS. AND I SAT
THERE ONE DAY AND I CRIED BEFORE GOD. I SAID, "GOD, I DIDN'T
PRESENT THIS BOOK IN THE EARTH "SO THAT NOW YOU'RE HAVING TO BE
QUESTIONED LIKE THIS. "YOUR HEART, I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY
REPUTATION. "IF I CARED ABOUT MY REPUTATION, I WOULD NEVER
PROPHESY." I WOULDN'T. I'D JUST, I'D GET A GUITAR AND AMUSE YOU
WITH MY LACK OF SINGING. BUT IF I REALLY CARED ABOUT MY
REPUTATION, I WOULDN'T SAY WHAT I SAY BECAUSE BELIEVE ME, I HAVE
TROLLS THAT LOVE TO DROP THEIR DROPPINGS. I HAVE SECULAR MEDIA.
I HAVE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. I HAVE SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT YOU
FOLLOW THAT DON'T LIKE US. BUT YET NONE OF THEM STOOD DURING
THE TIME WHEN THIS COUNTRY, THE EARTH, NEEDED GOD'S VOICE. IN
FACT, I WATCHED, I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SAY THIS, I SAW
RECENTLY THERE WAS A CONFERENCE A FEW MONTHS AGO ABOUT THE
MINISTERS THAT ARE, THE INFLUENTIAL LEADERS THAT ARE
STANDING FOR AMERICA THAT HAVE STOOD. AND I LOOKED AND I SAID
TO GOD, I SAID, GOD, I KNOW EVERY ONE OF THEM. AND I'M
TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, I'M NOT TRYING TO
JUDGE THEM, BUT NOT ONE OF THEM STOOD.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
DURING AMERICA'S AND THE EARTH'S HARSHEST SEASON, THEY WERE
WUSSES. AND NOW THEY'RE GONNA STAND LIKE THEY'RE THE TOUGH
GUYS. AND I WANNA SAY, GOD, IN ALL OF THIS, YOU HAD A MESSAGE
THROUGH YOUR VESSELS THAT GOT ATTACKED, AND I THINK WE NEED TO
SHOW HONOR TO GOD. SO WITH THAT, I JUST FELT THAT IN MY HEART. I
DON'T OFTEN LIKE TO SAY THAT, BUT ANYWAY, IT'S ALL GOOD. BUT
PLEASE GET THE BOOK, DO IT AS AN HONOR TO GOD AND CAPTURE HIS
HEART. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR. OKAY, SO WITH THAT, TODAY
WE WANNA BRING YOU, THERE'S SOME THINGS REGARDING VENEZUELA AND
IRAN THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE NEWS. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE NEWS. SO ANTHONY HAD SENT ME, PASTOR
ANTHONY, A DREAM I HAD BACK IN 1999. I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS
DREAM, BUT I REMEMBER IT AS PLAIN AS DAY BECAUSE I WENT ON
PUBLIC RECORD ABOUT IT. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER THE DREAM,
EVERYTHING IN THE DREAM BEGAN TO HAPPEN. BUT WHAT WE'RE REALIZING
IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY IS BEING PLAYED OUT
RIGHT BEFORE US. SO I'M GONNA GIVE IT OVER TO PASTOR ANTHONY.
THANK YOU. DID YOU GUYS, WERE YOU OKAY WITH
MY LITTLE SPEECH? IS THAT ALL RIGHT? OKAY.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
SO. YOU KNOW, JUST TO ADD REAL QUICK TO THAT, I THINK WE NEED
TO HONOR PASTOR HANK AND PASTORS IN THIS HOUSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE
JUST STOOD. I WANT YOU TO HONOR GOD. AND HONOR GOD. THAT'S WHAT
I WANT YOU TO DO, JUST HONOR GOD. WE ALSO STOOD DURING THIS
TIME. AND ONE THING I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT OF REALLY QUICK
BEFORE WE JUMP IN IS WE DON'T WANT TO EVER TAKE THIS FOR
GRANTED. THIS IS THE HEART OF GOD BEING PLAINLY SPOKEN SO THAT
HE CAN REVEAL WHAT HE'S DOING IN THE EARTH. SO WE NEVER WANNA
TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED, AMEN. AND I WANNA SAY THIS TOO. SOMETIMES,
YOU KNOW, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE, WELL, YOU KNOW, THEY
CALL YOU A GRIFTER. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD A GRIFTER
IS. AND THAT'S THE TRUTH. AND I DON'T THINK THEY DO EITHER. BUT
HERE'S THE POINT. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRUE VESSEL
AND A FALSE. A FALSE ONE, THEY DON'T CARE HOW THEY AFFECT GOD
AND HIS HEART OR HOW THEY AFFECT YOU. THIS VESSEL, I CAN'T SPEAK
FOR OTHER PEOPLE, EVERY TIME I COME OUT TO SHARE THE WORD OF
THE LORD, I HAVE A HOLY FEAR IN MY HEART. TO GOD, TO THE HONOR
OF HIS HEART, I NEVER WANNA GRIEVE HIM, I NEVER WANNA HURT
HIM. AND I NEVER WANT TO HAVE MEN BRING AN INDICTMENT AGAINST
GOD BECAUSE OF THE VESSEL. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT. ALL RIGHT,
LET'S BREAK THIS DOWN FOR A MINUTE. SO IF YOU GUYS COULD PUT
UP THAT FIRST SLIDE FROM DECEMBER OF 1999, THIS IS THE
PROPHETIC DREAM WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT HOW PASTOR INKS SAW BORIS
YELTSIN, WHICH IS REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE THE TIMING
OF THIS DREAM, SO I'LL JUST START READING IT. "I SAW BORIS
YELTSIN SITTING AT A TABLE ACROSS "FROM TWO CHINESE
GENERALS. "HE SAID SOMETHING IN RUSSIAN AND CURSED CLINTON."
THAT WAS FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AT THE TIME. "WHEN
BORIS' HAND HIT THE TABLE IN THIS VISION, "IT TURNED INTO A
RUSSIAN SICKLE. "HE WAS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM HIS
PLACE "OR SEAT OF AUTHORITY AND REPLACED BY A MAN "WHO RESEMBLED
WHAT APPEARED TO ME LIKE PUTIN. "AT THAT MOMENT, I BEGAN TO SEE
AMERICA. "THE LORD TOLD ME THAT TWO SPIRITS "WERE TRYING TO COME
AGAINST OUR LAND "OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. "THEY ARE THE
SPIRIT OF ISLAM AND A SPIRIT OF SOCIALISM "THAT WOULD TRY TO
COME OVER OUR NATION. "IT WAS AS A FACE OF A TWO-HEADED DRAGON
MOVING ACROSS THE SEA." BUT, AND THE NECK, I FORGOT, I DIDN'T SAY
THIS IN THE DREAM. THE NECK WRITTEN ON THE NECK WAS THE WORD
ANARCHY. SO THAT'S THAT SPIRIT OF ANARCHY, YEAH. MOVING ACROSS
THE SEA TO BE BIRTHED IN AMERICA. HOW PROFOUND IS THIS
DREAM FROM DECEMBER OF 1999? THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT THIS WAS,
PASTOR HANK, IT'S RECORDED HE HAD THIS DREAM IN EARLY
DECEMBER, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HISTORICALLY KNOW, DECEMBER
31ST, BORIS YELTSIN UNEXPECTEDLY RESIGNED FROM HIS POST AS THE
LEADER OF RUSSIA, AND IT WAS PUTIN WHO WAS INSTALLED. NOW,
THE PART THAT REALLY MADE ME KIND OF TAKE A STEP BACK WAS THE
FACT THAT HE CURSED CLINTON, AND IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THAT CURSE,
AFTER HE WAS REPLACED, THE SPIRIT OF ISLAM AND A SPIRIT OF
SOCIALISM ROSE OVER THE NATION. AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HE WAS
SITTING WITH CHINESE GENERALS. NOW LET'S FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.
WHAT ARE WE FACING RIGHT NOW IN AMERICA? CHINA, RUSSIA, THE
SPIRIT OF ISLAM, AND THE SPIRIT OF SOCIALISM. SO GOD WAS ALREADY
WITH THE NECK OF ANARCHY. WITH THE NECK OF ANARCHY. GOD WAS
ALREADY SHOWING WHAT WAS ABOUT TO TRANSPIRE AND WHAT WAS
GETTING READY TO TRY AND HIT THIS NATION. IF WE CAN GO OVER
TO, YOU WANNA GO OVER TO THE VENEZUELAN PROPHECIES? HOWEVER
YOU WANNA DO IT. JUST A COUPLE OF THEM, JUST SO PEOPLE CAN BE,
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO 2008. YES. BECAUSE THERE'S A POWERFUL
PROPHECY IN 2008 AND '13 THAT I THINK IF WE JUST VISITED THOSE,
PEOPLE CAN GO REWATCH WITH GENE BAILEY AND I ON OUR ARCHIVES ON
OVTV, OR YOU CAN GO TO FLASHPOINT ARMY, THE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THAT WE DID SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO REPLAY EVERYTHING.
BUT CAN THEY PUT UP 2008? THIS IS OCTOBER 10TH, 2008. AND IT
SAYS, GOD SAYS, I SUMMON THE WATCHMEN. THIS IS A NEW FREEDOM
ARISING IN LATIN AMERICA. SO THIS WAS 2008 REGARDING
VENEZUELA AND THE CONFLICTS THAT WERE GOING ON AT THAT TIME. BUT
IF YOU LOOK AT IT NOW, IT'S VERY INTERESTING IN HOW IT'S PLAYING
INTO WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW. OKAY, THEY'VE GOT IT UP,
GREAT. GOD SAYS, "I SUMMON THE WATCHMEN TO PRAY NOW "BECAUSE
THE SPIRITS THAT HAVE RULED OVER CUBA "HAVE SHIFTED TO VENEZUELA.
"THEY HAVE SHIFTED TO BRING DISCOURSE, "TO BRING TENSION
BETWEEN THE US AND LATIN AMERICA, "TO BRING TENSION
BETWEEN THE US AND RUSSIA. "VENEZUELA, I HAVE HEARD THE
CRIES OF A PEOPLE "ASKING FOR A NEW DAY, A NEW WAY, AND
GOVERNMENT, "AND IT WILL COME." NOTICE REALLY QUICK BEFORE WE
JUMP TO THE NEXT SLIDE ON THAT WHICH IS ABOUT DECEMBER 31ST,
2013, BUT IT SAYS, GOD SAYS WHAT? I SUMMON THE WATCHMAN TO
PRAY. SO THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT PASTOR HANK, YOU KNOW, THAT
HAS REALLY TAUGHT US ABOUT PROPHECY IS IT IS CONDITIONAL.
MEANING WE CAN'T JUST SIT BACK AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. THAT
DOESN'T EXIST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. IT IS VOICE ACTIVATED AND
IT REQUIRES OUR AGREEMENT. THOSE PROPHECIES ARE OUT THERE ON
PROPHETIC PERSPECTIVE. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO
PRAY ABOUT, THERE ARE PROPHECIES UPON PROPHECIES UPON PROPHECIES
THAT YOU CAN BE PRAYING AND BIRTHING INTO THE EARTH. OKAY,
NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS FOR DECEMBER 31ST, 2013. WE'LL GIVE THEM A
SECOND TO PULL IT UP. THIS IS ONE THAT SAYS, "AMERICA, THE
SPIRIT OF GOD AS A PLAN." THIS ONE IS VERY INTERESTING AS WELL,
BECAUSE THIS IS ACTUALLY REGARDING, I BELIEVE, HUGO
CHAVEZ AND WHAT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WAS GONNA DO TO UNTIE
AND LOOSE VENEZUELA FROM THIS SPIRIT. IT SAYS, "AMERICA, THE
SPIRIT OF GOD HAS A PLAN "TO BRING A REFORM. "IT IS NOT
COMING BY THE PRAYERS OF MANY, "FOR MANY HAVE STOPPED PRAYING
AND COMPLAINED INSTEAD." DON'T BE A COMPLAINER. "BUT THE FEW
WHO HAVE GATHERED TOGETHER "HAVE ARRESTED THE ATTENTION OF THE
HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL AND OF THIS NATION. SO A LIGHT WILL SHINE TO
EXPOSE CORRUPTION AND SCANDAL, AND THERE WILL BE A SOUND IN THE
STREETS, AND THEY WILL SAY, IMPEACHMENT." HOW MANY SEE THIS
WORD IMPEACHMENT OVER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP RIGHT NOW? THE
SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS, "YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CRY OUT FOR.
FOR IN THE MIDST OF OPPRESSION, DID I NOT RAISE UP A DELIVERER?"
THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS, "I TOLD YOU, THERE IS YET BEING
PREPARED, AND EVEN NOW PREPARED, ONE WHO SHALL SET THIS NATION
BACK ON COURSE. NEXT SLIDE. CUBA, YOUR GOVERNMENT SHALL
RUMBLE, AND THEY WILL LOOSEN THEIR GRIP THAT HAS BEEN PUT
UPON THE PEOPLE AND THOSE WHO HAVE DESIRED TO COME AND TO
BRING THE LIGHT. CUBA, IT'S RUMBLING, BUT THE HAND IS BEING
OPENED, AND THEY WILL SAY, "WHAT HAS HAPPENED?" THIS IS NOT THE
CUBA OF OLD, FOR IT'S ARMS AND OPENING, AND IT'S LOOSENING ITS
HOLD. AND GOD SAYS, "YES, BECAUSE I WILL SET IT FREE."
VENEZUELA, THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS, "I WILL UNRAVEL YOU." YOU
KNOW WHAT'S INTERESTING? YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES WHEN
THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SPEAKING SOMETHING AND WHY HE GOES FROM
CUBA TO SOMETHING ELSE, ALMOST AS IF TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT. BUT
IT'S IN CONTEXT TO THE SAME THING THAT HE'S SAYING. SO HE'S
TELLING CUBA, "HOW DO WE KNOW?" 'CAUSE I HAD SOMEBODY IN HOUSTON
COME UP TO ME, AND I SAID, "WELL, WHEN IS IT GONNA HAPPEN?"
I SAID, "VENEZUELA IS THE SIGN." WHY IS VENEZUELA THE SIGN?
BECAUSE LOOK AT THE NEXT THING GOD TALKS ABOUT. HE IMMEDIATELY
TALKS ABOUT VENEZUELA IN CONTEXT TO WATCH CUBA. IT HASN'T
HAPPENED YET IN CUBA, BUT IT DID HAPPEN IN VENEZUELA. SO HE'S
TELLING YOU THIS IS GONNA BE THE SIGN. GO AHEAD. VENEZUELA, THE
SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS, I WILL UNRAVEL YOU BECAUSE OF THE KNOT
THAT WAS TIED SO TIGHTLY AROUND YOU BY HUGO CHAVEZ OF OLD. BUT
THERE HAS BEEN A PRAYER AND A PRAYING PEOPLE. NOW WATCH,
VENEZUELA SHALL BE UNRAVELED AND THEIR OIL WILL BE RELEASED. BY
THE WAY, ALL THE TROLLS, THEY HATE THAT. THEY HATE THAT
STATEMENT RIGHT THERE. OKAY, GOD'S THE ONE THAT SAID IT. I
DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GONNA BE. I DON'T KNOW, OKAY, I'M NOT
INVOLVED IN ALL. I JUST, GOD SAID THAT THE OIL WILL BE
RELEASED AS A GIFT. AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THAT'S
MANIPULATING. THE LORD SAID THAT IN 2013. OKAY, THEIR OIL WASN'T
A GIFT TO ANYTHING. HOW MANY YEARS LATER IS THAT? 11 YEARS
LATER, OR NO, 13 YEARS LATER. AND HERE'S THE THING, GOD DIDN'T
SAY, JUST FOR YOU, AMERICA, IT DIDN'T SAY THAT. IT SAYS THAT
THIS MEANS IT'S GONNA BE A GIFT. DOES THAT MEAN TO ST. THOMAS? I
DON'T KNOW. LET'S JUST BELIEVE IT'S GONNA BE SHARED AMONG THE
WHOLE WORLD. ALL RIGHT, SO I THINK, AND THE OTHER THING IS
THERE IS A VIDEO OUT THERE ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT THE LORD SAID
REGARDING VENEZUELA THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT. BUT I DO WANNA TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT IRAN, AND UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
THAT YOU FEEL ON VENEZUELA. NO, I THINK THAT WAS OKAY, YEAH,
LET'S GO TO IRAN REAL QUICK, BECAUSE ONE OF THE NEATEST SIGNS
THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN IRAN THAT I THINK IS JUST
FANTASTIC IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND THERE'S A PROCESS, I WISH I
WOULD HAVE HAD YOU FIND IT, WHERE THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS
PROPHESYING AND ABOUT WOMEN WOULD ARISE IN THE EARTH AND
THAT HE IS PLACING HIS HAND UPON THEM AND THAT THEY WOULD BE
FOUND IN PLACES OF AUTHORITY IN THE EARTH, WOMEN IN POWER. AND I
THINK EVEN HE STARTED NAMING OFF CERTAIN COUNTRIES WHERE THESE
WOMEN WOULD ARISE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT TODAY, WE DID IT ON A
PROPHETIC PULSE. THOSE PROPHECIES WERE FULFILLED BY
WOMEN WHO ARE PRESIDENTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES YEARS BEFORE
THAT WORD. IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING, OKAY? BUT GOD SAID,
"DO NOT THINK IT WOULD BE A STRANGE THING "THAT A POWERFUL
WOMAN SHALL ARISE OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST "WHERE THEY HAVE
SUPPRESSED WOMEN, THEY HAVE VEILED THEM." AND GOD SAYS,
"WATCH, I'M GONNA GIVE A SIGN "THAT THE MIDDLE EAST IS BEING
SHAKEN, THAT THE ISLAMIC REGIMES ARE BEING SHAKEN." HE SAID,
"WATCH THE WOMEN. THE VEIL WILL START COMING OFF AND THEY WILL
BEGIN TO PUSH BACK AND THERE'LL BE PROTESTS THAT'LL HAPPEN." HE
SAID, "ALL OVER THE CITIES, NOT JUST IN THE WOMEN, BUT THE
PEOPLE." AND HE SAID, "AND THEN THIS POWERFUL WOMAN WILL ARISE
AND IT'LL GIVE A NEW WAY TO WOMEN." DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING ALL OVER IRAN RIGHT NOW? THE WOMEN ARE SAYING,
THEY'RE PULLING OFF THEIR, WHAT DO THEY CALL THOSE THINGS? THE
HIJABS. THE HIJABS, YEAH. AND THEY'RE PULLING THAT OFF, AND
THEY'RE TAKING THE VEILS OFF AND ALL THIS, AND THEY'RE STARTING
TO SAY, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH, AND THERE'S PEOPLE BY THE MILLIONS.
DON'T BELIEVE THE FAKE NEWS WHERE YOU GET FIVE PEOPLE. THERE
ARE MILLIONS, 20-SOME CITIES NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN. SINCE GOD
PROPHESIED EVEN ON NEW YEAR'S, I MEAN, THIS IS JUST WITHIN THE 10
DAYS, MILLIONS ARE ALL OVER IRAN THAT ARE GOING INTO THEIR CITIES
AND SAYING WE WANT FREEDOM. AND THE WOMEN, I MEAN, HOW ARE THEY
GONNA STOP MILLIONS OF WOMEN THAT ARE SAYING WE DON'T WANNA
WEAR THESE THINGS? WOMEN, HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD WANNA VEIL IN
ALL THAT STUFF GOING DOWN TO YOUR LEGS, YOU KNOW? RIGHT?
THAT'S LIKE TAKING A NAP IN YOUR SOCKS. YOU KNOW, YOU JUST CAN'T
DO IT. YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT. I JUST THOUGHT I'D BRING IT DOWN
TO A WESTERN MENTALITY AND UNDERSTANDING. SOME OF YOU ARE
LIKE, HOW MANY OF YOU, DON'T GET TOO PERSONAL, BUT HOW MANY OF
YOU TAKE A NAP IN YOUR SOCKS? ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL JUST. ALL
RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THE IRAN PROPHECIES REAL QUICK, AND THEN
I'M GONNA PREACH YOU JUST A SHORT WORD, I THINK. IF YOU GUYS
COULD PULL UP THE PROPHECY FROM SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2009, THAT SAYS,
"VERY SOON THERE WILL BE A LIGHT." AND THE REASON WHY WE
WANNA GO BACK TO 2009 IS WE WANT TO SHOW THE NARRATIVE OF WHAT
GOD HAS BEEN SAYING. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK AT PROPHECIES
AND THINK, OH, THAT WAS YESTERDAY, OR THAT'S, YOU KNOW,
IT WAS PROPHESIED BECAUSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING, THAT'S RELEVANT.
NO, GOD HAS BEEN SPEAKING FOR THE LAST 20 PLUS YEARS ABOUT
THIS REDEMPTIVE PLAN. LET'S DO KIND OF A LIGHTNING ROUND ON A
COUPLE OF THESE. ALL RIGHT, READY, GO. SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2009,
VERY SOON, THERE WILL BE A LIGHT THAT WILL BREAK FORTH IN THE
AREAS THAT THEY SHALL SAY IT'S DARK. GOD SAID BEFORE AND WHILE
THE VEIL, GOD SAID BEFORE AND WHILE THE VEIL WAS RIPPED WHEN
MY SON DECLARED IT WAS FINISHED, THERE WAS A SIGN WITH A QUAKING
AND A VEIL WAS RENT. WATCH NOW IN PARTS OF THE EARTH. WATCH IN
PLACES OF ASIA. WATCH CHINA. THERE SHALL BE A GREAT
EARTHQUAKE AND GREAT SHAKINGS IN THOSE AREAS AND TERRITORIES. GOD
SAYS THIS IS A SIGN THAT A VEIL IS ABOUT TO BE REMOVED AS IT WAS
IN THE DAYS OF MY SON. THE BAMBOO CURTAIN SHALL NO LONGER
STAND AS AN OBSTACLE TO THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT. WATCH IN THE
MIDDLE EAST, I WILL SHAKE IT. SUDDENLY, SURELY SOME WILL SAY
THEY MUST GATHER THEMSELVES AND COVER THEIR HEADS, BUT GOD SAYS
NOT SO. I HAVE NOT COME TO DESTROY. I HAVE COME TO REVEAL
AND SHOW MY SHAKINGS THAT ANOTHER VEIL, GOD SAYS, A VEIL
OF ISLAM SHALL BEGIN TO BREAK. AND WATCH, TWO VEILS SHALL BREAK
AT THE VERY TIME THAT A SIGN WILL MARK THE SEASON OF THE
SHAKINGS OF THE SOIL OF THE EARTH IN THOSE TERRITORIES. HOW
INTERESTING. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S ANOTHER ONE? THIS IS ONE
OF MY FAVORITE ONES. NOVEMBER 1, 2009. SO IT'S THE VERY NEXT
SLIDE, GUYS. SEE IF YOU GUYS CAN CATCH ON TO A THEME HERE THAT'S
BEEN RECENTLY SPOKEN. SO IT WILL BE THAT YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A
SEASON OF CAPTURES AND SURRENDERS. WHAT'S THAT SOUND
LIKE? CONFLICTS INTO CONQUESTS. WATCH ME BLOW UPON KOREA. WATCH
ME BLOW UPON IRAN. WATCH ME BLOW UPON THE MIDDLE EAST AND BRING
CLOSURE TO THE THINGS THAT HAVE CAUSED MEN TO FEAR. YOU ARE
ENTERING INTO A SEASON OF SUDDENLIES WHERE NOW I THE LORD
GOD OF HEAVEN STEP IN WITHIN THE MIDST OF FEARS OF MAN. I, THE
LORD GOD, STEP INTO THE THINGS THAT HAVE PERPLEXED THE NATIONS,
AND I WILL SURELY SHOW THEM THAT I DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF MAN.
BUT I, THE LORD GOD, CAN CAUSE THE PROBLEMS OF THE EARTH TO
SUDDENLY SHIFT CHANGE IN A DAY, AND I SHALL DO IT TO BRING HONOR
TO MY NAME. WATCH SUDDENLY A CHANGE IN A DAY, SAYS THE LORD.
SO NOVEMBER 1ST OF 2009, GOD WAS PROPHESYING ABOUT A SHIFT
CHANGE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S BRING UP THE IRAN PROPHECIES, AND I
HAD THEM REFERENCED BY SLIDE 12 THROUGH 14, BUT SO THOSE WOULD
HAVE BEEN THE OLDER ONES WHEN GOD PROPHESIED ABOUT THAT ARE
CURRENT, WHERE HE TALKED ABOUT THEIR ARMORY AND THEIR DICTATOR
GOING AND BEING REMOVED. MAYBE I SHOULD PULL UP MY PHONE. PART OF
IT IS WE SENT SOME SLIDES AND THE NUMBER GOT MESSED UP IN THE
SEQUENCE, SO THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB IN THE BACK. SO MAYBE
WHAT WE'LL DO IS LET'S COME BACK. WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE ME TO
REVISIT A FEW OF THE IRANIAN PROPHECIES NEXT WEEK? LET'S JUST
DO IT NEXT WEEK. WE'LL JUST KIND OF CARRY A THEME AND THEN I'LL
JUST PREACH TO YOU AND WE'LL JUST DO IT THAT WAY. AND WE'LL
BE BETTER ORGANIZED ON OUR PART. LET'S DO THAT, ALL RIGHT? ALL
RIGHT, LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR PASTOR ANTHONY. WE'LL DO THAT
NEXT WEEK. I'LL JUST SHARE LIKE TWO OR THREE AND IT'LL KIND OF
SET UP MY PREACHING TO YOU. OKAY, I WANT YOU TO OPEN UP YOUR
BIBLE TO MATTHEW 11, VERSE 15. I WON'T GO REAL LONG HERE TODAY.
HOW MANY OF YOU, DO YOU GET BLESSED BY BEING ABLE TO READ
MANY OF THOSE THINGS? AND AGAIN, YOU CAN GO OUT TO THE WEBSITE,
HANK AND BRENDA UNDER PROPHETIC PERSPECTIVES AND EVERYBODY ON
STAFF, THEY DO SUCH A GREAT JOB OF PREPARING AND GETTING THEM
READY AND PUTTING THE PROPHECIES OUT THERE AND THINGS SO THAT YOU
CAN GO OUT AND REFERENCE THEM. SO WE'RE IN THIS TIME OF A SHIFT
CHANGE. AND IT'S A CHANGING OF ONE TIME TO ANOTHER, JUST LIKE
WE'VE OFTEN SAID, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WHEN YOU
GO TO WORK AND YOU'RE GETTING READY TO START YOUR NEW SHIFT
AND THE OLD ONE ENDS AND THEY PUNCH THE CLOCK AND THEY CLOCK
OUT. WELL, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CALENDARS OF
THE EARTH. GOD OPERATES BY EVENTS. SO WHEN HE LOOKS AT THE
EARTH, HE'S LOOKING AT US, PUNCH THE TIME CLOCK OR SAY 2026. AND
IT'S LIKE WE'RE PUNCHING THE TIME CLOCK, 2025 IS DONE. NOW
THERE'S A NEW TIME, EXCUSE ME, THAT'S COMING. AND IT HAPPENS TO
BE GOD'S EVENTS. WELL, WHAT DOES THE LORD HAVE PLANNED? THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT. BUT IT REQUIRES SOMETHING THAT JESUS
HAD TO SAY AT LEAST 15 TIMES, IT'S RECORDED IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT, MATTHEW 11, VERSE 15. LOOK AT THIS SCRIPTURE. JESUS
WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE, AND NOW YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AS YOU
LOOK AT THIS, HE SAID, "HE THAT HAS EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR."
THAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE. THEY HEAR WRONG. JESUS
EVEN SAID, "BE CAREFUL HOW YOU HEAR." FOR EXAMPLE, TWO WEEKS
AGO ON NEW YEAR'S EVE, THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAID, "I RAN, IT
SHALL BE DAYS, "AND YOU WILL SEE YOUR FREEDOM." ALL RIGHT,
IMMEDIATELY, SOMEBODY SENT ME THAT HAD READ SOMETHING AND
SAID, "HANK, YOU PROPHESIED THAT IN A COUPLE DAYS "THAT THIS IS
GONNA HAPPEN." AND I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? "THIS WAS
THE NEXT DAY, JANUARY 1ST." I SAID, "I DIDN'T SAY THAT." THEY
SAID, "OH YEAH, WELL, THAT'S WHAT THIS PERSON SAID. WHERE CAN
I FIND THAT PROPHECY?" I SAID, "GOD SAID DAYS. THIS VESSEL DID
NOT PUT HOW MANY DAYS ON THAT. NEITHER DID THE LORD, OKAY? ON
THE DAY OF PENTECOST, ACTS 2, VERSE 16, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
COMES ON PETER, AND HE SAYS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS, "IN THE LAST
DAYS, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT." IT'S BEEN 2,026 YEARS
AND HOW MANY DAYS? SO WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE HEAR. IT'S WHY
I BRING THESE PROPHECIES BACK OUT SO THAT WE DON'T PUT OUR OWN
INTERPRETATION ON IT. AND THEN HERE'S THE THING, WE ATTACK THE
VESSELS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, REALLY THE VESSELS THAT OBEY GOD,
THAT'S PART OF IT. BUT WHAT WE DON'T WANNA DO IS ATTACK THE
MOST SACRED THING, AND THAT IS THE HEART OF GOD ITSELF. BECAUSE
OF OUR OWN INTERPRETATION, NOT THAT GOD MISSPOKE OR THE VESSEL
NECESSARILY, BUT IT'S HOW WE HEAR. NOW, JESUS HAD TO SAY
THESE TO PEOPLE WHO HAD TWO EARS BETWEEN THEIR HEAD. RIGHT, HOW
MANY TIMES DID YOU GROW UP AND YOUR PARENTS SAID, PLEASE USE
THOSE TWO THINGS BETWEEN YOUR HEAD, RIGHT? THOSE EARS. AND IF
YOU NOTICE, THE OLDER YOU GET, RIGHT? YOU GET SELECTIVE
HEARING. I'VE GOTTEN MORE SELECTIVE HEARING. I HEAR, BUT
SOME THINGS I JUST DON'T WANNA ADDRESS. I DON'T WANNA DISCUSS,
I'M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT IT, RIGHT? WELL, YOU'RE IN DENIAL.
NO, YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME. DON'T WASTE MY TIME. THAT'S WHY
I DON'T GET CAUGHT UP. AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, THE BIBLE DOES
SAY, DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN A BUNCH OF ARGUMENTS AND DEBATES
IN LIFE. I'M NOT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA TRYING TO PROVE A POINT. I
PUT THE PROPHECIES OUT THERE, LET THEM SPEAK. BUT YOU GOTTA BE
CAREFUL, 'CAUSE YOU'RE NEVER GONNA PLEASE EVERYBODY, AND NOT
EVERYBODY'S GONNA AGREE WITH YOU. BUT YOU DO HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL HOW YOU HEAR. SO WHAT DOES GOD DO TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE
THAT PROBLEM? BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE NATURAL EARS, BUT HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT SPIRITUAL EARS. HE GIVES AN ANOINTING.
1 CHRONICLES 12:32 SAYS THAT THE TRIBE OF ISSACHAR, THESE WERE
MEN THAT KNEW THE TIMES. WELL, HOW'D THEY KNOW THE TIMES? AND
THEN WHAT THE NATION SHOULD DO. IT SAYS THEY KNEW THE TIMES AND
WHAT ISRAEL OR THE NATION SHOULD DO. THEY GOT THAT BY THE SPIRIT
OF GOD. GOD WAS THE ONE THAT GAVE THEM THE ABILITY TO KNOW
THE TIMES TO BYPASS THEIR NATURAL EARS AND SOMEHOW BE ABLE
TO TAP INTO THE VOICE OF GOD IN THEIR HUMAN SPIRIT THAT WENT
MANY TIMES BEYOND WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE NATURAL. THAT'S
A LOT OF TIMES HOW YOU CAN LOCATE A TRUE PROPHETIC VESSEL
BECAUSE MOST OF THE PROPHETS IN THE BIBLE WERE NOT IN AGREEMENT
WITH CNN OR JERUSALEM NEWS NETWORK. THEY WOULD ALWAYS COME
AT TIMES BRINGING A WORD IN SEASON THAT WOULD GO AGAINST
WHAT WAS GOING IN THE CULTURE. IT LOOKED IMPOSSIBLE. IT LOOKED
COMPLETELY CONTRARY. WHEN GOD BEGAN TO SPEAK ABOUT VENEZUELA,
OR NOW CUBA, OR HE'S SAYING THINGS OVER THE EARTH, PEOPLE
GET IN THEIR NATURAL EARS, WELL, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. OR THEY
START ATTACKING THE VESSEL WHO TALKED ABOUT THE OIL BEING A
GIFT, AND THEY THINK SOMEHOW THAT IT'S A TRUMP THING. AND
GOD'S SAYING, THIS ISN'T A TRUMP THING, THIS IS A GOD THING. WHAT
I'M TRYING TO DO, SAYS THE LORD. BUT THEY HEAR WRONG, OR THEY
HEAR ACCORDING TO THEIR LIBERAL AGENDA. THEY HEAR ACCORDING TO
THEIR RHINO WAYS. THEY HEAR ACCORDING TO THEIR POLITICAL
PERSUASIONS, OR THEY HEAR ACCORDING TO THEIR RELIGIOUS
SPIRIT. ONE OF THE WORST THINGS TO HAVE IS A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT ALWAYS
CHALLENGES EVERYTHING, AND CAN NEVER COME TO A CONCLUSION ABOUT
ANYTHING. A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT ALWAYS SETS THEMSELVES IN
OPPOSITION BEFORE IT HEARS. THAT'S WHY THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
THAT THE BEREANS, THEY HEARD WHAT WAS BEING PREACHED, AND
THEY WENT AND SEARCHED IT OUT IN THE BIBLE. A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT
HEARS IT AND WON'T SEARCH IT. THEY IMMEDIATELY FORM THEIR
OPINION AND CRITICIZE IT, CHALLENGE IT, AND THEY WILL
UPSET THEMSELVES AGAINST IT, WITHOUT HEARING AND PROCESSING
AND BEING OPEN AND BEING WILLING TO BE TAUGHT OF THE SCRIPTURES,
YOUR HIGHEST AUTHORITY OF ALL, AND BY THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, THE
SPIRIT OF GOD HIMSELF. SOMEONE WITH A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT IS
ALWAYS IN OPPOSITION TO SOMETHING. AND SO THEY CAN'T
HEAR. THEY STRUGGLE TO HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS. SO THEY WILL
CALL YOU ALL KINDS OF NAMES BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
THINGS IN THE SPIRIT. THIS IS WHY WHEN THE KINGS NEEDED TO
HAVE A PERSPECTIVE, WHEN THEY'RE SURROUNDED BY THE ARMIES, THEY
WOULD BRING IN SAMUEL, THEY WOULD BRING IN ELIJAH, THEY
WOULD BRING IN DANIEL, WHO WAS A PROPHET WHO PRAYED AND COULD
INTERPRET THE TIMES AND SAY, THIS IS THE WAY THAT GOD IS
SPEAKING. HE IS SAYING HE SETS KINGS UP AND HE WILL TEAR THEM
DOWN. GOVERNMENTS ARE ABOUT TO SHIFT. HE WOULD BRING IN
PROPHETS AND THEY WOULD COME IN AND SOME KINGS WOULD FEAR AND
SAY, NOT HIM, DO NOT SEND THAT VESSEL. TODAY, WE GOT MEN WHO
COME INTO THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND IT ISN'T ABOUT THAT THEY'RE
CARRYING THE SACRED HEART OF GOD OR THE WORD OF THE LORD, THEY'RE
THERE FOR THEIR PHOTO OP. THEY'RE THERE TO GIVE THEM
INTELLECTUAL WISDOM THAT DOES NOT SURPASS OR ASSERT THE WISDOM
OF GOD OR HIS VOICE THAT SPEAKS TO MEN. I REMEMBER THE DAY AS IF
IT WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS ON A TRIP INTO A PARTICULAR PLACE AND
THE PASTORS GOT TOGETHER, THEY SAID, "LISTEN, THE PRESIDENT OF
THIS NATION "WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU." I SAID, "WHY DOES HE WANT
TO SPEAK TO ME?" THEY SAID, "WE DON'T KNOW, BUT WOULD YOU COME?"
AND WE'VE INVITED OTHER PEOPLE TO SPEAK TO HIM. I SAID, "OKAY."
AND I DIDN'T KNOW IN THOSE DAYS THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BRING A
GIFT. IF YOU'RE TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF A KING, BOY, THOSE
OF YOU THAT COME TO CHURCH WITHOUT AN OFFERING, WE OUGHT TO
LEARN OUR LESSON. YOU OUGHT TO GIVE GOD SOMETHING. THE OFFERING
GOES BY AND YOU'RE MAD, YOU'RE MAD, YOU'RE MAD. THAT CHURCH
JUST WANTS MONEY. AND YOU HAVE JUST DISHONORED YOUR KING. WE'RE
FLIPPING THROUGH, 'CAUSE WE ARE ONLINE ONLY PEOPLE. AT OFFERING
TIME, CLICK. LET'S GO HEAR WHAT PASTOR SO-AND-SO SAYS. WHAT
ABOUT YOUR KING? AND I WAS SITTING HERE GOING, "GOD, I
CAN'T GO INTO THE PRESENCE OF THIS PRESIDENT. "I DON'T HAVE A
GIFT." THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT DAWNED ON ME, "HANK, SOMEBODY
GAVE YOU A BOX OF CHOCOLATES. "GIVE THEM THE FORREST GUMP
OFFERING." REMEMBER, LIFE'S LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES. I SAID, "OH
MAN, THAT'S RIGHT, I DIDN'T OPEN THEM." AND I'M LIKE, "OKAY, I
HOPE HE LIKES THEM. "HOPE THEY'RE NOT CHEAP. "HOPE THEY'RE
NOT STALE." SO I GET INTO THIS ROOM AND THERE'S ALL THESE
DIFFERENT PEOPLE THERE. AND THE PRESIDENT SAYS, "I HAVE MANY
MATTERS WEIGHING UPON MY HEART. "AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT I
NEED TO DO. "AND I'M ASKING YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHT "THAT
YOU CAN HELP ME. "I'VE GONE TO MY ADVISORS, I'VE GONE TO MY
CABINET." AND I KNEW IMMEDIATELY HE WAS SAYING HE DIDN'T WANT
HUMAN WISDOM. BUT I COULD TELL HE WASN'T A GOD-FEARING MAN. AND
SO DIFFERENT ONES STARTED PONTIFICATING. AND HE LOOKED AT
ME AND HE SAID, "YOU, YOU'RE QUIET. "THAT'S THE BEST THING
YOU DO "WHEN YOU COME INTO THE PRESENCE OF A KING. "YOU DON'T
COME IN THERE JERKING AND SHAKING "AND DOING ALL YOUR
GYRATING. THE SPIRIT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROPHET." RIGHT, IT'S A
GOOD WAY TO GET SHOT BY THEIR SECRET SERVICE.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
AND BELIEVE ME, I'VE PROPHESIED TO QUITE A FEW PRESIDENTS. NOW
LISTEN, THIS IS THE, AND I DON'T TELL YOU. SO I GET THERE AND I'M
LOOKING AT THIS GUY AND HE SAYS, "I WANT YOU TO SPEAK." AND SO I
SAID, "DO YOU MIND IF I WOULD JUST," I SAID, "WHEN I PRAY, I
LIKE TO JUST, IF I COULD JUST TOUCH YOU FOR A MOMENT." 'CAUSE
AGAIN, POINT OF CONTACT, A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I TOUCH SOMEONE,
GOD GIVES ME ABILITY TO READ THEM. AND SO A LOT OF TIMES I
WON'T TOUCH PEOPLE BECAUSE IF I DO, I CAN HEAR. AND THEN
SOMETIMES I'M LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT I JUST GOT REVEALED
ABOUT THAT PERSON. SO I GRABBED ONTO HIS HAND AND THEN I SAID,
"DO YOU MIND IF I PUT MY HAND ON YOUR SHOULDER?" HE SAID, "NO."
AND I SAID, "THIS IS THE MESSAGE THAT I HAVE FOR YOU. "FOR I COME
NOT IN MY OWN POWER, "BUT I COME AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD
HIMSELF "AND OF HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, "AND THE
POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD. "AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT
GOD WOULD SAY TO YOU. "FOR THERE ARE SIX THINGS THAT ARE UPON
YOUR DESK. "AND THIS IS WHAT GOD SAYS, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, "BOOM,
BOOM, BOOM. "AND I SPOKE IT. "MY HEAD SAID, WHAT DID YOU JUST
SAY? "YOU ARE FINISHED. "I HAD LITERALLY HEARD THAT. "I BACKED
AWAY, I LOOKED AT HIM, "AND I SAID, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,
SIR. "HE SAID, DO NOT LEAVE. "I WANT EVERYBODY ELSE TO LEAVE. "I
WANT THIS MAN." AND I STOOD THERE AND HE SAID, "I HAVE
SOUGHT PSYCHICS. "I HAVE SOUGHT THOSE IN THE OCCULT. "I HAVE
SOUGHT PRIESTS." AND HE WENT DOWN THE LIST. BUT YOU, WHEN YOU
SPOKE, YOU MADE MY BONES RATTLE. THAT'S WHY GOD HAD ME TOUCH HIM.
AND HE SAID, "YOUR WORDS," HE SAID, "THEY HAVE A SOUND IN THEM
THAT I'VE NOT HEARD BEFORE, AND YET I'VE HEARD THE WISDOM OF
MEN." HE HEARD GOD. NOW, I'M NOT PERFECT. DO NOT, I'M NOT
DRAWING, GOD, I DIDN'T EVEN WANNA SHARE THIS STORY. I'M NOT
DRAWING ATTENTION TO ME, HIM. AND SO HE SAID, "YOU JUST TOLD
ME SIX THINGS ON MY DESK "THAT WERE THE THINGS THAT I NEEDED
WISDOM ABOUT. "I NOW KNOW WHAT TO DO. "WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?"
AND SO I GAVE HIM THE GIFT. I GAVE HIM A BOX OF CHOCOLATES.
AND HE SAID, "HOW DID YOU KNOW THESE ARE MY FAVORITE?" I'M
LIKE, "WELL, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, "I GO THROUGH THE
CHOCOLATE STORES IN THE AIRPORT ON MY WAY "AND I PICK OUT SOME
CHOCOLATES I WAS HOPING FOR MY SWEETIE, "BUT I'LL GIVE THEM TO
YOU." BUT WE GOTTA HAVE EARS TO HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS
SAYING. YOU GOTTA LEARN TO HEAR WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL EARS, RIGHT?
YOU'LL SAY, WELL, PASTOR HANK, HOW DO I DO THAT? ONE OF THE
PRIMARY WAYS, OKAY, MY MESSAGE IS GOING A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
LOOK AT PROVERBS 8. OKAY, REAL QUICK, PROVERBS 8. THIS IS
IMPORTANT. THERE'S PROVERBS 8 HERE AND I HAVE TO FIND THE
VERSE. OKAY, LOOK AT VERSE 32 THROUGH 34. OKAY, LOOK AT VERSE
32 THROUGH 35. OKAY, HERE WE GO. SO PROVERBS 8, VERSE 32. THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON. NOW THEREFORE, LISTEN UNTO ME. SO
THAT REQUIRES YOUR EARS, RIGHT? NOT YOUR NATURAL EARS ONLY. TOO
MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOO MANY NATURAL THINGS LIKE THE NEWS
MEDIA, THEIR FRIENDS, SOCIAL MEDIA, THAT'S CAUGHT BETWEEN
THEIR EARS. MY MOM USED TO SAY, "YOU HAVE A WHOLE GARDEN GROWING
IN YOUR EARS, HANK." I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF
THINGS GROWING IN THEIR EARS TODAY THAT'S AFFECTING THEIR
ABILITY IN HOW THEY HEAR AND HAVING SPIRITUAL EARS TO HEAR
THE VOICE OF GOD. NOW IT SAYS, "THEREFORE, HEARKEN UNTO ME,
"LISTEN UNTO ME, MY CHILDREN, "FOR BLESSED ARE YOU THAT KEEPS
MY WAYS." WELL, YOU WON'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP GOD'S WAYS IF YOU
DON'T LEARN HOW TO LISTEN TO HIM. PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN
CHOICES. HERE'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE DO. A LOT OF TIMES WE
DON'T PRAY ABOUT THINGS. AND THEN WE GO AND DO SOMETHING,
MARRY THAT PERSON, DATE THAT PERSON, BUY THAT HOUSE, GET THAT
JOB, RIGHT? AND THEN IT STARTS GOING WRONG, AND THEN WE PRAY
ABOUT IT AFTER IT GOES WRONG. WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO WAIT ON
GOD. GET IN A ROOM, CLEAR YOUR HEAD. SAY, GOD, I CLEAR MY HEAD.
TAKE AUTHORITY OVER YOUR THOUGHTS. AND SAY, I'M GONNA SIT
IN YOUR PRESENCE. I HAVE A NOTEBOOK IN MY HAND AND A PEN,
AND I ASK FOR THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO COME
UPON ME, AND MY MIND IS RENEWED, AND I PRAY THAT I WOULD HAVE
EARS TO HEAR IN MY SPIRIT, MY HEART, MY INWARD MAN, WHAT I
SHOULD DO. AND THEN YOU'LL HEAR THINGS. AND WHAT'S SO
INTERESTING IS IT'LL BYPASS YOUR HEAD, YOUR BRAIN, AND IT'LL COME
RIGHT DOWN INSIDE OF YOUR HEART. YOU'LL HEAR IT, YOU'LL HAVE A
WITNESS, YOU'LL HAVE A FEELING, YOU'LL HAVE A CERTAIN THOUGHT,
AND IT'S NOT A THOUGHT UP HERE, IT'S LIKE IT BYPASSES, AND YOU
FEEL IT, YOU SEE IT, YOU KNOW IT DOWN HERE. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE
SAYS THOSE WHO ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
ONE OF THE GREATEST HONORS THAT YOU HAVE IS THE ABILITY TO HEAR
GOD, THE ABILITY TO BE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. SO YOU'VE GOT
TO LEARN HOW TO BYPASS YOUR HEAD. THE MORE YOU SUBJECT YOUR
HEAD TO FALSE, FAKE LIES, IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT. IT'S
LIKE A GARDEN HOSE WITH A FLOW OF WATER. WHEN YOU START
QUENCHING IT, YOU'RE ONLY GONNA HAVE A TRICKLE. WELL, THAT'S THE
WAY IT IS WITH THE VOICE OF GOD. IF YOU'RE PUTTING SO MUCH STUFF
THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TO BYPASS THAT TO GET DOWN INSIDE
OF YOUR SPIRIT TO SPEAK TO YOU, SPIRIT TO SPIRIT, RIGHT? THAT'S
WHY JESUS IN JOHN FOUR, WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT TRUE WORSHIP,
HE SAID, "GOD IS A SPIRIT, AND THOSE THAT WORSHIP HIM "MUST
WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." QUIT TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT GOD IN YOUR HEAD. THAT'S WHY RELIGIOUS SPIRITS GET IN THE
WAY. THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS THAT A CARNAL MIND, A FLESHLY MIND IS
AN ENEMY AGAINST GOD. NOW WE SHOULD USE OUR BRAINS, BUT OUR
BRAINS NEED TO BE RENEWED WITH THE WORD OF GOD. AND SO HE SAYS,
WATCH THIS, LISTEN UNTO ME, CHILDREN, FOR BLESSED ARE THEY
THAT KEEP MY WAYS. NOW HEAR MY INSTRUCTION AND BE WISE AND
DON'T REFUSE IT. WELL, HOW DO YOU HEAR GOD'S INSTRUCTION?
WELL, THE FIRST PLACE I WOULD START IS EVERY DAY I'D GET MY
BIBLE BECAUSE GOD WILL SPEAK A SCRIPTURE TO YOU. HE'LL GUIDE
YOU TO A VERSE, TO A CHAPTER, RIGHT? TO SOMETHING THAT WILL
LIKE POP OFF THE PAGE. BUT THE OTHER THING IS HEARING GOD'S
INSTRUCTION IS HOW MANY OF US HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD THAT
IS ALL ABOUT MONOLOGUE? I TELL GOD ALL THE TIME, I AM NOT
INTERESTED IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. AND I SAID, GOD, I'M
NOT SAYING THIS TO INSULT YOU BECAUSE YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY.
SO HERE'S WHAT I'M GONNA TELL YOU. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THIS
RELATIONSHIP AND NEITHER ARE YOU WITH A MONOLOGUE. YOU'RE NOT
INTERESTED IN A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION. YOU WOULD HAVE
NEVER CREATED ME WITH A FREE CHOICE. YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER
WALKED WITH ADAM IN THE COOL OF THE DAY. YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER
BECOME A FRIEND TO MOSES. YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER SHARED YOUR
SECRETS WITH YOUR PROPHETS IF IT WAS ONLY ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO
SAY AND NEVER GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BACK, TO
TALK BACK, TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO ASK GOD, SAY, GOD, I WANT
DIALOGUE. OKAY, IF YOU WANT DIALOGUE, THEN YOU'RE GONNA SET
YOURSELF UP FOR INSTRUCTION. JESUS SAID, DON'T CALL ME LORD
AND NOT DO WHAT I SAY. WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY HEAR GOD
MORE THAN WHAT THEY REALIZE. BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES,
DON'T DATE THAT PERSON. DON'T WATCH THAT, DON'T DO THAT. YOU
COULD DO BETTER. HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU NEED TO START BEING ON
TIME. YOU KNOW, LITTLE VOICES THAT COME UP INSIDE OF OUR
HEART. MANY TIMES IT'S THE VOICE OF GOD TRYING TO INSTRUCT US.
OKAY, WHEN I CAN'T FIND MY KEYS OR SOMETHING, THERE IS SOMETHING
THAT I COULD NOT FIND. IT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT THE
OTHER DAY THAT I NEEDED AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE IN THE
WORLD I PUT THAT. AND I LOOKED ALL OVER. I MEAN, I SPENT AN
HOUR. AND BRENDA SAYS, "WELL, HANK, DID YOU ASK GOD? "YOU
ALWAYS DO." AND I'M LIKE, "WELL, I DIDN'T THINK I HAD TIME TO ASK
HIM. "I WAS GONNA FIGURE IT OUT." SHE GOES, "WELL, LET'S
JUST PRAY." SO I SAID, "LORD, I ASK YOU." AND IMMEDIATELY,
FRANTICALLY WENT TO GO LOOK FOR IT AGAIN. AND I STOPPED AND I
SAID, "NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. "NO, NO, THIS ISN'T HOW YOU FIND
THINGS "IN FRANTIC AND IN FEAR. "GOD, I ASKED YOU TO SHOW ME
WHERE IT IS, "AND I'M NOT GONNA FRET ABOUT IT. "AND I'M GONNA
SIT HERE, "AND I'M NOT GONNA LOOK ANOTHER MINUTE. "I'M GONNA
WAIT, AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME." AND I WAS IN A HURRY. FOR
WHATEVER REASON, IT TOOK 30 MINUTES. AND I SAT THERE, AND I
SAT THERE, AND I SAT THERE. I HAD THOUGHTS COME UP IN MY HEAD,
AND I THOUGHT, I ALREADY LOOKED THERE. AND ANOTHER THOUGHT COME
UP IN MY HEAD, I ALREADY LOOKED THERE. BUT WHAT I NOTICED WAS
THE FIRST QUESTION, WHEN I ASKED GOD, I SAID, WHERE IS THAT
DOCUMENT? AND I'M GONNA SIT HERE UNTIL I HEAR YOUR VOICE. I SAT
DOWN, AND I HEARD SOMETHING. IT WAS SO QUICK, LIKE TWO SECONDS.
I HEARD, BLUMP, A BLUMP. AND THEN I KIND OF QUICKLY SAW A
PICTURE. I DISMISSED IT. I DISMISSED IT IN MY MIND.
I WAS LIKE, "AH, I KNOW IT WOULDN'T BE THERE. "I WOULD
NEVER PUT THAT THERE." AND THEN I STARTED
WAITING. AND MY MIND STARTED WANDERING.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
OKAY, I CHECKED THERE, I CHECKED THE TRASH CANS, I CHECKED THIS,
I DID THAT, I WENT THROUGH THE GARBAGE. I DID, I CHECKED
UNDERNEATH THERE, I WENT THERE. DIDN'T CHECK BRENDA'S STUFF, SHE
NEVER TAKES ANYTHING. SHE'S NOT THE CLUTTERED ONE, I AM. 30
MINUTES LATER, THE SAME TWO SECOND PICTURE AND WORD CAME TO
ME. AND I SAID, I WAITED 30 MINUTES, I WAS STARTING TO GET
MAD, BUT YOU ANSWERED ME WITHIN TWO SECONDS AND I DIDN'T REALIZE
IT. I WENT, WELL I SAID AFTERWARDS, 'CAUSE I WENT AND
ACTED ON IT, AND THERE IT WAS. I WAS LIKE,
WELL, YOU COULD'VE SENT AN ANGEL.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN HELPFUL, BUT THE FACT THAT HE SPOKE IT, IT
WAS VERY HELPFUL. SO I DO HONOR YOU, THANK YOU. BUT HERE'S THE
POINT, THAT'S HOW YOU LEARN IN THE LITTLE THINGS, TO RECEIVE
INSTRUCTION, SO THAT YOU'RE NOT FRETTING OVER, SHOULD I DATE
THAT PERSON? SHOULD I MARRY THAT PERSON? SHOULD I GET THAT JOB?
SHOULD I MOVE? SHOULD I DO THIS? SHOULD I DO THAT? YOU KNOW WHAT
I MEAN? IT BECOMES SIMPLE. HEAR INSTRUCTION AND BE WISE AND
REFUSE IT NOT. BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT HEARS ME. NOW WATCH
THIS IN VERSE 34. HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT. WATCHING DAILY AT MY
GATES. SO YOU GOTTA START HAVING A CERTAIN WATCHING. YOU START
HAVING A CERTAIN EXPECTANCY. SOME PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT
THEY CAN HEAR FROM GOD. SOME PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT GOD
WOULD EVER SPEAK TO THEM. HAVE YOU EVER ASKED HIM TO? YES, AND
IT DIDN'T WORK. WELL, DON'T STOP THERE. HOW MANY OF YOU, BEFORE
YOU GO TO BED, IF YOU HAVE A, ONE OF THE GREATEST WAYS TO HEAR
GOD, AND I'M SERIOUS ABOUT IT, IS TO, BEFORE YOU GO TO BED, YOU
READ YOUR BIBLE. WORSHIP GOD, LAY THERE AND JUST SAY, LORD, I
JUST WORSHIP YOU AND I HONOR YOU. NOW I BRING THIS DECISION
BEFORE YOU. I BRING THIS NEED BEFORE YOU BEFORE I GO TO BED.
AND I BIND THE ENEMY FROM MY SUBCONSCIOUS AND FROM MY SOUL.
THIS IS WHY WHEN THE ANGEL CAME IN EZEKIEL, YOU COULD READ IT IN
EZEKIEL CHAPTER THREE, HE BROUGHT A SCROLL AND THE PROPHET
EZEKIEL HAD TO EAT THE SCROLL FIRST AND HE HAD TO GET IT ON
HIS TONGUE, RIGHT? AND AT FIRST IT WAS BITTER. SOMETIMES WHAT
YOU HEAR MAY BE BITTER. YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT, YOU MAY NOT
UNDERSTAND IT, YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH IT, YOU MAY NOT THINK IT'S
GOD, BUT THE MORE YOU CHEW ON IT, ALL RIGHT, THE FLAVOR OF IT
WILL START CHANGING. YOU'LL START FEELING A PEACE, YOU'LL
START SENSING, HEY, MAYBE GOD'S IN THAT, JUST LIKE WITH THAT
DOCUMENT. AND THEN IT SAID IT WENT DOWN INSIDE OF HIS BELLY.
WELL, WHY IS IT DOWN INSIDE OF HIS BELLY? IT NOW JUST BYPASSED
HIS BRAIN TO WHERE NOW HE'S BEING LED BY HIS SPIRIT. HE'S
OPERATING OUT OF HIS SPIRIT, THE REAL YOU. AND SO WATCHING IS
LEARNING TO HAVE AN EXPECTANCY. GOD, I AM WATCHING, I AM WAITING
FOR THAT ANSWERED PRAYER. I TELL PEOPLE WHO ARE SINGLE ALL THE
TIME, DON'T BE OUT THERE TRYING TO FISH IN THE POND OF SOCIAL
MEDIA DISGUST TO TRY TO FIND YOUR DATE. WATCH, WELL HOW DO I
WATCH? YOU PRAY AND YOU BE BUSY ABOUT WHAT GOD CALLED YOU TO.
AND THEN WATCH IT HIT YOU IN THE FACE. WATCH THAT JOB HIT YOU IN
THE FACE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE FRANTIC AND TRY TO LOOK ALL OVER
THE PLACE AND GET FRUSTRATED. SAME WAY WITH HOUSES. TELL GOD
WHAT YOU WANT. AND THEN YEAH, YOU CAN GO OUT AND BEGIN TO
RESEARCH AND LOOK, BUT BE EXPECTING IT, BE WATCHING FOR
IT, BE LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER, FOR THE BLESSING, FOR THE
MANIFESTATION, FOR GOD GIVING YOU SIGNS. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER
THIS, AND I TAUGHT YOU THIS, AND IT'S STILL WITH SHILOH, I'M
WAITING, I'M LIKE, GOD, I DON'T LIKE THAT WORD. IS GOD SAID TO
ME, I DID THIS FOR A POINT OF REFERENCE. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
GRAPES THAT GOT BACK FROM THE PROMISED LAND, REMEMBER THE 12
SPIES? 10 OF THEM CAME BACK AND SAID, OH, THE GIANTS ARE SO BIG,
THE FUTURE IS SO CHALLENGING, WE'RE GONNA BE TAKEN OUT, WE ARE
LIKE GRASSHOPPERS. WELL, GOD NEVER SAID THAT, THEY MADE THAT
UP IN THEIR OWN MIND. AND THE TWO, JOSHUA AND CALEB, WHO HAD A
DIFFERENT SPIRIT, NOT A DIFFERENT HEAD, A DIFFERENT
SPIRIT, SAID, "WAIT A MINUTE, WE BROUGHT YOU A POINT OF
REFERENCE. "WE BROUGHT YOU GRAPES." SO SOMETIMES WHEN
SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK OUT IN YOUR LIFE, IT'S NOT THAT GOD WAS
TRYING TO PUNISH YOU OR THAT YOU CAN'T HEAR GOD. SOMETIMES THAT
HOUSE THAT FELL THROUGH, THAT CAR THAT GOT SOLD, RIGHT? THAT
WOMAN THAT GOT MARRIED, THAT MAN THAT GOT MARRIED, WHATEVER, THE
JOB THAT GOT TAKEN, SOMETIMES IT HAD TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO BE. IT WAS A POINT OF REFERENCE TO GET YOU IN A
PLACE OF INSTRUCTION AND RECEIVING IT FROM GOD. SO RATHER
THAN QUIT, GET UPSET, GET MAD AT GOD, GET MAD AT OTHERS, GET MAD
AT YOURSELF, YOU NEED TO SAY, I'M WATCHING, I'M WAITING.
WHERE'S THAT JOB? WHERE'S THAT HOUSE THAT I'VE BEEN PRAYING
FOR? YOU GOTTA HEAR, YOU GOTTA WATCH. AND THEN IT SAYS, THE
LAST ONE, WE DON'T LIKE IT, WAITING. YOU GOTTA WAIT. WELL,
HOW LONG IS WAIT? I DON'T KNOW, I ASKED GOD. I'M STILL WAITING.
I WAITED, I KEPT SEEING THE OLD BUILDING TORN DOWN. I WOULD
DRIVE INTO THIS PLAZA AND LITERALLY SEE DIRT PILES. I SAW
THE BUILDING TORN DOWN AND I KEPT SAYING, BRENDA, WHY AM I
SEEING THAT BUILDING TORN DOWN? AND I HAD TO WAIT. I HAD TO, WE,
WE, WE, WE HAD THE UGLIEST BUILDING IN TOWN. I KEPT
WAITING. PROPHETS WOULD COME IN. GOD SAYS THAT HE'S HIDING THIS
MINISTRY IN YOU ON PURPOSE. AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T WANNA HIDE
ANYMORE. WHAT AM I HIDING FROM? GOD'S IGNORING YOU. WHAT DID I
DO? AND THEN I GO TO GOD ABOUT IT AND HE WOULDN'T TALK TO ME
ABOUT IT. AND I KEEP SEEING 'CAUSE GOD WAS TRYING TO SPEAK
TO ME. AND HANK, IT'S FOUND IN THE ART OF WAITING. YOU KNOW
WHAT HAPPENS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO HEAR GOD? WE RUSH
THINGS. AND THEN WE BLAME GOD. WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK OUT, IT
DIDN'T WORK OUT. WHEN I QUIT GOING TO CHURCH, I DON'T BELIEVE
ANY OF THAT STUFF ANYMORE. OKAY, SO YAY YOU, YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF
YOUR OWN LIFE NOW. SEE WHERE THAT GETS YOU. BIBLE SAYS
THERE'S A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO MAN, BUT THE END OF IT WILL
BE DEATH. IT AIN'T GONNA END RIGHT. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT'LL DO
THAT IN THE DATING WORLD. WOW, GOD HASN'T BLESSED ME, SO I'M
JUST GONNA FIGURE IT OUT, YEAH. AND MARRY SWANKY, THE MAN WHO,
YEAH, THERE'S BAD SWANKYS OUT THERE. OR I'VE HAD PEOPLE IN MY
OFFICE, "HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TITHING?" "NO, I COULDN'T AFFORD
IT, I DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT." "OKAY." AND THEN NOW THEY'RE NOT
IN CHURCH ANYMORE, YOU NEVER SEE THEM, THEY'RE WORKING TWO TO
THREE JOBS. AND IT WAS JUST AS SIMPLE AS GIVING AND TRUSTING
GOD WITH 10%. GO TO JOHN CHAPTER 10, YOU THINK I'M MAKING IT UP?
WE'RE ABOUT TO CLOSE, PASTOR DOUG, I THINK. JOHN CHAPTER 10.
THIS WAS NOT ANYWHERE ON MY NOTES. OKAY, SO. ARE YOU GETTING
ANYTHING? ARE YOU ENJOYING? OKAY, OKAY, ALL RIGHT. LOOK AT
THIS, JOHN 10, VERSE 27. OFTENTIMES WE READ OVER THIS
BECAUSE WE READ IT TOO FAST. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DOES IT SAY? MY, SO
WAIT A MINUTE, WHO'S SPEAKING? JESUS. MY SHEEP. ALL RIGHT, STOP
RIGHT THERE. DOES IT SAY MY LAMBS? MY WHAT? OKAY, SO WHAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SHEEP AND A LAMB? SAME CREATURE. DO
YOU, EWE, KNOW WHAT I MEAN? NOW, THAT'S REALLY BAD. A LITTLE
SHEEPISH IN SAYING THAT, BUT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
LAMB AND A SHEEP? MATURITY. MATURITY. I GET BY, WELL, LET ME
SAY THIS, LET ME SAY THIS, I GOTTA SAY IT REALLY CAREFUL. I
USED TO GET BY WITH MORE, MORE WITH GOD THAN I DO NOW WHEN IT
COMES TO HIS VOICE, OR JUST IN GENERAL. WELL, WHY IS THAT?
BECAUSE PAUL SAYS, "WHEN I ACT LIKE A CHILD, I WAS A CHILD."
BUT THEN JESUS SAYS, "TOO MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED." A
FEW MONTHS BACK, A LITTLE WHILE BACK, I HAD A VISION AND I SAW
SOMETHING OF TWO BEAUTIFUL HANDS AND THEY WERE GOING LIKE THIS
AND THEY HAD SOMETHING IN THEIR HANDS AND THEY WERE MOVING IT
VERY FAST TOWARDS ME. AND I COULD TELL BY THE WAY THAT THE
HANDS WERE MOVING WITH WHATEVER WAS IN THEIR HANDS, IT WAS VERY
PRECIOUS BECAUSE THE WAY THAT THEY WERE PRESENTING IT, I COULD
TELL IT WAS LIKE ALMOST LIKE A GIFT. AND IT GOT CLOSER AND
CLOSER AND CLOSER TO ME IN THE VISION. FINALLY, I CRIED OUT AND
I SAID, "WHAT IS THIS?" AND GOD SAID, "THIS IS MY HEART." TOO
MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED. AND I SAID, "GOD, THEN HERE IS
MY PRAYER. KEEP ME ON A SHORT LEASH." THE OLDER YOU GET IN THE
THINGS OF GOD, THE LORD REQUIRES. THIS IS WHY IF YOU
REMEMBER JESUS, WE OFTEN READ OVER IT IN HIS BAPTISM. JESUS IS
GETTING READY, HIS MINISTRY IS GETTING READY TO START. THIS IS
WHY PAUL TOLD HIS SON TIMOTHY, "PUT AWAY YOUTHFUL LUSTS,"
RIGHT? BECAUSE OF THIS PRINCIPLE. JOHN THE BAPTIST IS
THERE, HE'S PREACHING. HE'S CALLING THEM, YOU KNOW, VAPORS,
BROOD OF VAPORS. HE DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM CALLING OUT THE MEDIA
AND ALL THAT AND DIFFERENT ONES AT THE TIME, RIGHT? GETTING
INVOLVED IN POLITICS EVEN. JESUS DID, GO TELL HEROD. SO JOHN THE
BAPTIST HAS TO CLEAR THE AIR. HE SAYS, "HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, I'M
NOT THE MESSIAH. "I'M NOT EVEN WORTHY TO TIE HIS SHOES. "I'M A
FORERUNNER." AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, JESUS IS SHOWING UP. I'M
GONNA TEACH YOU A PRINCIPLE AS I GET BACK TO THIS WITH THE SHEEP.
JESUS IS WALKING DOWN AND JOHN STOPS AND HE SAYS, "EVERYONE,
LOOK, THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKETH AWAY "THE SINS OF THE WORLD. "I
AM NOT WORTHY OF THIS MAN." AND JESUS COMES DOWN AND JOHN
BAPTIZES JESUS IN THE JORDAN RIVER AND GOD, HIS FATHER,
SPEAKS OUT OF HEAVEN AND SAYS THESE WORDS, "BEHOLD, MY BELOVED
SON," SON, "IN WHOM I'M WELL PLEASED." WHY DID THE FATHER
NEED TO DO THAT? BECAUSE OF THIS PRINCIPLE RIGHT HERE. BECAUSE
JESUS COULD NOT SAY WHAT HE SAID TO THE PHARISEES WITH A
RELIGIOUS SPIRIT THAT ALWAYS CHALLENGED, RIGHT? LOOKED ON
WITH OBJECTION, CRITICISM, WITH A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT. HE SAID,
"WHATEVER THE FATHER TELLS ME, I HEAR I WILL DO." SO JESUS WAS
SAYING, "IT'S NOT A CORPORATE FATHER, "LIKE YOU KNOW ISRAEL
AND PHARISEES. THIS IS MY ABBA, THIS IS MY DAD. AND WHATEVER MY
DAD TELLS ME, I ACTUALLY HEAR HIS VOICE 'CAUSE I'M MATURE AND
I'LL DO IT. WHATEVER I SEE HIM DO, AND WHATEVER HE TELLS ME AND
SHOWS ME, I WILL DO IT. I AM A MATURE SON. THIS IS WHY IN MARK
5, WHEN THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD HAD TO TOUCH THE BOTTOM
OF HIS GARMENT. YES, THERE'S THEOLOGICAL REASONS OF HEALING.
IT WAS THE PRAYER, IT WAS THE TALITH, THE HEALING TASSELS,
FULFILLING MALACHI FOUR, HE SHALL COME WITH HEALING IN HIS
WINGS. BUT LITERALLY WHAT IT WAS IS THE TOWEL, IF IT'S WET AND
YOU HANG IT ON YOUR CLOTHESLINE, WHERE IS ALL THAT WATER GOING TO
GO? DOWN TO THE BOTTOM. JESUS WAS SO MATURE THAT HE UNDERSTOOD
THE PRINCIPLE OF PSALM 133, THAT THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
COMES FROM THE HEAD, DOWN UPON THE BEARD, WHICH IS LEADERSHIP,
DOWN UPON THE BODY. THAT ANOINTING OIL THAT CAME FROM HIS
FATHER, HE HAD SUBMITTED HIMSELF AS A MATURE SON, THAT IT HAD
TIME TO COME NOT ONLY ON HIS HEAD, BUT DOWN HIS BEARD AND
LITERALLY SATURATE THE BOTTOM OF HIS GARMENTS. TOO MANY PEOPLE
WANNA BE ANOINTED. THIS IS WHAT I SAY TO YOUNG PROPHETS. DON'T
GET OUT THERE AND START NAME CALLING YOURSELF, TITLING
YOURSELF AND ACTING LIKE BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT MASSIVE FOLLOWERS,
RIGHT, THAT YOU'RE SOMEHOW ARRIVED. IF THAT ANOINTING
HASN'T COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH PROCESS TO BRING YOU INTO
MATURITY, YOU WILL NEVER BE TRUSTED WITH THE MOST SACRED
THING IN THE EARTH, AND THAT IS THE HEART OF GOD. YOU WON'T
SPEAK AT A LEVEL OF AUTHORITY. YOU WON'T CARRY UNCANNY WORDS
THAT WHEN MEN READ THEM AND HEAR THEM, THEIR MOUTHS WILL DROP
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PASS THE MATURITY TEST. GO BACK TO JOHN
10, VERSE 23, AND I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU WITH ONE OTHER
PRINCIPLE. JOHN 10, VERSE 27, MY SHEEP, MATURE SHEEP. THAT'S WHY
JESUS, WHEN HE WAS BEING BAPTIZED, THE FATHER SAID, THIS
IS MY SON. WHEN THAT WORD, THIS IS MY SON, WHOM I'M WELL
PLEASED, IT IS THE GREEK WORD, WEOS THESIOS, THE PLACING OF A
MATURE SON. HE WAS NO LONGER AN ARGUMENTATIVE TEENAGER. HE WAS
NOT SOME REBELLIOUS COLLEGE-AGE KID. HE WASN'T A YOUNG ADULT WHO
WAS INTO ENTITLEMENT. OR JESUS WOULDN'T HAVE SAID, I LAY
EVERYTHING DOWN FOR MY FATHER. I WOULD LIKE THIS CUP TO PASS IN
THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, BUT NOT MY WILL. NO, NO, ENTITLEMENT
PEOPLE TODAY, IT'S NOT ABOUT GOD'S WILL, IT'S ABOUT THEIRS
AND WHAT THEY CAN GET. JESUS PASSED THE MATURITY TEST. THIS
IS WHY WE GOTTA RAISE UP A BIBLE SCHOOL. THAT'S WHAT I'M AFTER
NOW AS GOD. I WANNA RAISE UP, IF THE MUSLIMS IN ISLAM ARE RAISING
UP TRAINING CENTERS, WE GOTTA RAISE UP A TRAINING CENTER AND
TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO BECOME MATURE MINISTERS FOR GOD. BUT MY
SHEEP, IF YOU WILL GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF MATURING AND
LETTING GOD MATURE YOU, WATCH WHAT HE SAYS IN ISAIAH 10:27.
"MY SHEEP, HEAR MY VOICE." CAN LAMBS HEAR IT? YES. AND THEY CAN
GET BY WITH A LOT. EZEKIEL 47, THE FOUR DEPTHS OF THE RIVER OF
GLORY. REMEMBER THE FIRST PART WAS ANKLE. YOU CAN GET AWAY. IF
YOU'RE IN AN ANKLE DEEP RIVER, YOU CAN GET BY WITH A WHOLE LOT.
YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL 'CAUSE YOU LET THAT CURRENT GET YOU. AS YOU
GO A LITTLE DEEPER, IT'LL CARRY YOU AWAY. SO GOD WILL TOLERATE
THINGS IN THE ANKLE DEEP OF PEOPLE'S CHRISTIANITY. BUT IF
YOU SAY YOU WANNA GO DEEPER, YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL BECAUSE MORE
WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS THAT PEOPLE
CALL OUT PREACHERS ONLINE AND MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE CALLED OUT,
BUT LET GOD DO IT. LET GOD BE THE ONE THAT CALLS THEM OUT.
BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WHEN WE ALL STAND BEFORE GOD IN JUDGMENT,
WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS, EVERY ONE OF US IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE
WHO'S EVER BEEN BORN IN THE EARTH WILL STAND AND GIVE AN
ACCOUNT FOR THEIR LIFE. THE BIBLE SAYS THE ONES THAT YOU
JUDGE, CALLED PREACHERS, PROPHETS, THEY WILL STAND IN A
HIGHER JUDGMENT. THAT'S WHY I FEAR GOD, 'CAUSE I KNOW
ULTIMATELY YOU'RE GONNA BE JUDGED, BUT I'M GONNA BE JUDGED
TWICE AS HARD AS YOU. MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S
CLOSE WITH THIS. HOW DO WE HEAR GOD? IT REALLY IS SIMPLE. I
WANNA SHOW YOU SOMETHING THAT I THINK WILL HELP YOU. I WANNA
TAKE YOU TO TWO VERY QUICK SCRIPTURES AND TEACH YOU THIS
CONCEPT. I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO SHOW YOU.
WELL, LET ME JUST SHOW YOU THE ONE EXAMPLE FOR THE SAKE OF
TIME. ALL RIGHT, LET'S JUST GO OVER TO ACTS CHAPTER 2. ACTS
CHAPTER 2, WE'RE GONNA CLOSE WITH THIS. WHY DON'T YOU GO
AHEAD AND STAND YOUR FEET AND I'LL SHOW YOU THIS PRINCIPLE. IT
REALLY IS NOT, IT'S NOT DIFFICULT. IN FACT, I WAS
WRITING A BOOK ON HOW TO INCREASE YOUR SPIRITUAL
SENSITIVITY AND I PUT IT ON THE SHELF. MAYBE I NEED TO GET THAT
ONE BACK OUT AND KEEP WRITING IT. I GOTTA GET THIS ONE DONE.
WOULD YOU GUYS PRAY GRACE OVER ME? I DON'T WANNA BE IN A HURRY
WRITING ABOUT ONE OF THE GREATEST SUBJECTS OF ALL, AND
THAT IS FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD. OH NO, OKAY, I'LL JUST READ IT. THE
DOG HAD ANOTHER BLEED, TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP ON THE WAY TO THE
VET. OKAY, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. FATHER, I SPEAK GRACE OVER THAT
LITTLE GIRL PUPPY. OKAY, ALL RIGHT. THIS IS VERY SIMPLE. AND
WHEN THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS FULLY COME, VERSE 1, THEY WERE
ALL TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE. NOW WATCH THIS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS
COMING. AND SUDDENLY THERE CAME A SOUND, UNDERLINED SOUND. OKAY,
HOW DID THEY KNOW THERE WAS A SOUND? THEY WHAT? THEY HEARD.
NOW, NOT EVERYBODY IS A HEARER, BUT YOU CAN LEARN
TO HEAR GOD. YOU SHOULD, AS ONE OF GOD'S SHEEP, LEARN HOW TO
HEAR GOD FOR YOURSELF. THAT'S WHY BEFORE YOU GO TO BED, YOU DO
THAT. YOU SAY, LORD, I READ MY BIBLE, I WORSHIP, I TAKE
AUTHORITY OVER MY DREAMS, OVER MY MIND. SPEAK SOMETHING TO ME.
MAN, YOU'LL START ENTERING INTO DREAMS FROM GOD, AND JUST WRITE
'EM DOWN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ON THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND GET
YOUR OWN CHANNEL AND TELL EVERYBODY ALL YOUR DREAMS. YOU
KNOW, PEOPLE ASK ME ONE DAY, WHY DOES GOD GIVE YOU DREAMS AND
SHARE VERY HIGH LEVEL INFORMATION? BECAUSE I DID WHAT
JOSEPH DID. I JUST MINDED MY OWN BUSINESS AND KEPT HAVING DREAMS.
KEPT HEARING THINGS, WATCHING NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES BECOME
NEWSPAPER HEADLINES, BUT I HAD HEARD IT MONTHS BEFORE I WAS
READING IT AND NEVER TOLD ANYBODY EXCEPT MY JOURNAL. AND
ONE DAY MY PASTOR CAME TO ME AND HE SAID, "HANK, I THINK YOU HEAR
FROM GOD." HE SAID, "YOU OUGHT TO JOURNAL." I SAID, "WELL, I DO
JOURNAL. "I DO WRITE THINGS DOWN." HE GOES, "DO YOU MIND IF
I COULD SEE IT?" AND HE WAS IN AWE OF WHAT GOD HAD SAID THAT
WAS MANY TIMES IN WORLD NEWS. THE POINT IS NOT TO THIS VESSEL,
THE POINT WAS I DIDN'T THINK I WAS HEARING. I DIDN'T NEED TO GO
AROUND AND TELL ANYBODY. I JUST WANTED TO TRAIN MY EAR SO THAT
IF GOD WOULD CALL ON ME, I WOULDN'T BE FALSE. DOES THAT
MAKE SENSE? OKAY, SUDDENLY THERE CAME A SOUND FROM HEAVEN. SO HOW
DID THEY HEAR A SOUND? HEARING, AS IT WAS A RUSHING MIGHTY WIND.
WAIT, AS A RUSHING MIGHTY WIND. SO CAN YOU SEE THE WIND? YOU CAN
DO WHAT WITH THE WIND? AND WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO WITH THE WIND?
YOU CAN FEEL IT. SO NOT ONLY DOES GOD SPEAK TO YOU IN YOUR
SPIRITUAL EARS, MATTHEW 11, VERSE 15, WE TALKED ABOUT IT.
LET THOSE WHO HAVE EARS HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS. NOW PUT
YOUR HAND OVER YOUR SPIRIT AND SAY, "LORD, I HEAR THE VOICE OF
GOD. SPEAK TO MY SPIRIT. OPEN MY HEARING TO YOUR VOICE AND NOT
ANY OTHER VOICE. MY HEARING IS OPEN TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD, WHO
IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. SO THEREFORE, MY SPIRIT HEARS TRUTH
FROM THE SPIRIT OF GOD. THE NEXT THING IS SOMETHING THAT YOU
FEEL. IT'S CALLED PEACE, RIGHT? THE BIBLE SAYS PURSUE PEACE.
WELL, IF YOU IGNORE THAT PEACE, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I'VE
DONE IN MY LIFE THAT VIOLATED MY PEACE. AND EVERY TIME I PAID FOR
IT. AND IF I WOULD HAVE JUST WENT BACK, BECAUSE I WAS WAITING
TO HEAR SOME KIND OF MAJOR INSTRUCTION, GOD SPEAKS
SOMETIMES IN THE SIMPLICITY OF THINGS. AND IT WAS THE PEACE AND
I VIOLATED IT. YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL THAT UNEASINESS. IT WON'T
GO AWAY. I DO THAT ABOUT PEOPLE. WHEN I LOOK AT PEOPLE OR SEE
PEOPLE OR MEET PEOPLE, I GO WITH WHAT I INITIALLY FEEL. AND
PROBABLY CLOSE TO 100% OF THE TIME, IT'S RIGHT. I DON'T FEEL
GOOD ABOUT SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING, MOST OF THE TIME IT'S
CORRECT. NOW I CAN DO THAT BECAUSE I TRY TO STAY CLOSE TO
GOD. OKAY, I'M NOT GOING ON HUMAN EMOTIONS. I'M LEARNING HOW
TO LET MY SPIRIT BEAR WITNESS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, RIGHT?
THAT INWARD WITNESS INSIDE YOUR HEART THAT, HEY, THAT DOESN'T
FEEL RIGHT, THEY DON'T FEEL RIGHT, THEY DON'T SOUND RIGHT.
UH-UH, I'M GONNA STAY AWAY FROM THAT. ALL RIGHT, LAST ONE, KEEP
GOING, VERSE 3. "AND IT FILLED ALL THE HOUSE WHERE THEY WERE
SITTING, "AND THERE APPEARED CLOVEN TONGUES," OKAY, THAT'S
THE THIRD ONE, SOMETHING YOU HEAR, SOMETHING YOU FEEL, AND
SOMETHING YOU WHAT? SEE, THEY SAW SOMETHING THAT APPEARED. SO
SOME PEOPLE ARE MORE GIVEN OVER TO, YOU KNOW WHAT, I SAW
SOMETHING. I HAD A DREAM, I HAD A VISION, OR GOD PUT A THOUGHT
INSIDE MY HEART, AND I JUST KINDA SAW THIS. WELL, YOU MIGHT
BE MORE APT WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER PEOPLE, THAT'S HOW GOD IS
GONNA SPEAK TO YOU. SO YOU GOTTA BE OPEN, ALL RIGHT? I WANT YOU
TO SAY THIS, SAY, LORD, FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD, I AM YOUR
SHEEP. I HEAR YOUR VOICE. IT IS MY INALIENABLE RIGHT AS A CHILD
OF GOD AND AS A CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO HEAR YOUR
VOICE. SO THEREFORE, I'M ASKING YOU, INCREASE THE PEACE THAT
SURPASSES ALL MY UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR SPIRIT THAT BEARS
WITNESS WITH MY SPIRIT. OPEN UP MY SEEING, MY HEARING, AND MY
SENSITIVITY IN YESHUA'S NAME, AMEN. PASTOR DOUG, WOULD YOU
COME? ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL GET BACK TO MY MESSAGE NEXT WEEK.
WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME, BUT I JUST, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD
LITTLE INSTRUCTION. ALL RIGHT, HEY, I LOVE YOU. I'M
GOING TO GO CHECK ON A DOG. AMEN, THAT WAS
A GOOD WORD. LET'S GIVE PASTOR A HAND.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
IF YOU'RE WORKING IN THE CONNECT CAFE OR ONE OF THE INFORMATION
CENTERS, YOU CAN BE DISMISSED AT THIS POINT IN TIME. ALTAR TEAM,
IF YOU'D COME UP HERE QUICKLY. IF YOU NEED PRAYER THIS MORNING
AND YOU'RE IN THE HOUSE, YOU CAN COME UP TO ONE OF OUR ALTAR TEAM
MEMBERS HERE, AND THEY'LL BE HONORED TO PRAY FOR YOU. AND WE
SEE MIRACLES HERE EVERY SUNDAY AS OUR ALTAR TEAM PRAYS FOR
THOSE THAT COME FORWARD. GIVE OUR ALTAR TEAM A HAND. THEY ARE
VERY DEDICATED AT DOING THIS EVERY WEEK. AND IF YOU'RE
WATCHING ONLINE, I'LL JUST MENTION THIS RIGHT NOW. AND YOU
NEED PRAYER FOR SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE, WE'LL PUT THAT NUMBER
UP ON THE SCREEN BEFORE WE CLOSE OUT TODAY. AND WE HAVE A PRAYER
TEAM AVAILABLE FOR YOU 24 HOURS A DAY THAT WILL TAKE YOUR NEEDS
TO GOD AND ALSO LET US KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO
PRAY ABOUT THOSE THROUGH THE WEEK. WE HAVE A GREAT PRAYER
TEAM THERE THAT MEETS EVERY WEEK, SEVERAL OF THEM DAILY TO
PRAY OVER THOSE NEEDS. SO WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. WELL, LET ME
ASK YOU ONE QUESTION BEFORE YOU LEAVE TODAY. HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT ETERNITY? PASTOR HANK MENTIONED THE JUDGMENT SEAT AND
HOW HE WOULD BE JUDGED AS A PASTOR FOR HIS WORKS ON THIS
EARTH AND HOW HE REPRESENTED GOD AMONG THE PEOPLE. AND THERE'S
REALLY TWO JUDGMENTS THAT HAPPEN. ONE IS THE BELIEVER'S
JUDGMENT, WHICH WILL HAPPEN WHEN CHRISTIANS LEAVE THIS EARTH AND
SOMEDAY IN HEAVEN. THEY'LL BE JUDGED, WILL BE JUDGED FOR OUR
WORKS ON THIS EARTH. BUT THERE'S A GREAT JUDGMENT CALLED THE
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT THAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE THAT NEVER
ACCEPTED JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR. THEY'LL ALL STAND BEFORE GOD AND
TRY AND PLEAD THEIR CASE. AND THEY WON'T HAVE ONE, REALLY,
BECAUSE THEY NEVER MADE JESUS THE LORD OF THEIR LIFE. YOU
KNOW, WE SANG THAT SONG THIS MORNING WHEN WE WENT THROUGH
SEVERAL OF THOSE OLD HYMNS. HOW MANY OF YOU ENJOYED THAT?
THAT WAS A BLESSING TODAY. BUT TALKED ABOUT STANDING ON THE
ROCK, AND ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND. ONLY JESUS CAN
SATISFY OUR SOUL. ONLY HE CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE. ONLY HE HAS A
PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE AND ONLY HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR ETERNITY.
EVERY OTHER WAY THAT PEOPLE TRY AND FIND GOD THROUGH RELIGION IS
GOING TO DAMN THEM TO HELL. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY. THAT'S
HARSH, BUT IT'S TRUE. JESUS DOESN'T SEND US TO HELL. WE SEND
OURSELVES THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T ACCEPT HIM AS SAVIOR. AND SO I'M
GOING TO ASK YOU QUICKLY TODAY, JUST BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME. IS
THERE SOMEONE HERE IN THIS ROOM TODAY AND YOU SAY, "I'M NOT 100%
SURE THAT I'LL MAKE HEAVEN. I'M NOT 100% SURE THAT I WOULD AVOID
THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT IF I WAS TO LEAVE THIS EARTH."
BELIEVE ME, YOU WANT TO AVOID THAT. IF YOU'RE CONDEMNED TO
HELL, IT'S NOT A PLACE THAT WAS CREATED FOR MAN, BUT IT'S A
PLACE THAT MANKIND WILL GO. THE BIBLE SAYS THE MAJORITY OF MEN,
ACTUALLY, IT'S BECAUSE THE PATH IS WIDE. AND YOU NEVER LEAVE
THERE ONCE YOU GO THERE. IT'S ETERNAL. ETERNITY IS A LONG,
LONG TIME. THERE'S NO PAROLE BOARD IN HELL. ONCE YOU'RE
THERE, YOU'RE THERE FOREVER. SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TODAY
BEFORE YOU LEAVE, IS THERE ANYONE HERE AND YOU NEED TO MAKE
A DECISION TODAY FOR CHRIST. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT HEAVEN
WILL BE YOUR HOME AND THAT YOU'LL BE AT THE BELIEVER'S
JUDGMENT, WHICH IS JUST TO GIVE US A REVIEW OF WHAT WE DID ON
THIS EARTH AND DID WE FOLLOW GOD'S PLAN, BUT YOU'LL BE IN
HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY. THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. THAT'S
WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. I'M GOING TO COUNT TO THREE TODAY, AND IF
THERE'S SOMEONE HERE, OR MAYBE YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY,
AND YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT IN YOUR
HOME, YOUR HOTEL ROOM, ON YOUR JOB, WHEREVER IT MAY BE, YOU CAN
RAISE YOUR HAND AND GOD WILL SEE IT. BUT IS THERE ANYONE HERE
TODAY AND YOU SAY, "I NEED TO REPENT. I NEED TO ASK GOD TO
COME INTO MY LIFE. I WANT TO MAKE HIM THE LORD OF MY LIFE.
I'M GONNA COUNT TO THREE, AND IF THAT'S YOU TODAY, YOU CAN RAISE
YOUR HAND QUICKLY. ONE, TWO, THREE. IS THERE ANYONE HERE
TODAY, AND YOU SAY, "I NEED JESUS. I WANT TO MAKE THAT
DECISION." RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE HERE SO THAT I CAN SEE
IT. DON'T LET THIS OPPORTUNITY GO BY IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE. I
GUESS WE'RE ALL BELIEVERS TODAY. LET'S DO THIS FOR THE GROUP
THAT'S ONLINE. I THINK LAST WEEK WE KNEW OF AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE
THAT ACCEPTED THE LORD AS THEIR SAVIOR ONLINE, AND I'M SURE
THERE'S SOME THAT NEVER BOTHERED TO CALL IN OR WRITE, BUT DO IT
IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR HOME. BUT LET'S DO THAT TOGETHER
TODAY. FATHER IN HEAVEN, YOU REPEAT AFTER ME, FATHER IN
HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS. I BELIEVE THAT JESUS
CHRIST WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY, HE DIED FOR ME, HE WAS
BURIED, AND I BELIEVE THAT HE DID RISE ON THE THIRD DAY FROM
THE GRAVE. AMEN. AND LORD, I ASK YOU, COME INTO MY HEART, BE THE
LORD OF MY LIFE, AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF MY DAYS ON THIS EARTH. GIVE ME THE ABILITY TO FOLLOW YOU, TO
BE LED BY YOU, AND DIRECTED BY YOU. IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
AMEN. AND IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER TODAY, YOU CAN CALL OUR
PRAYER LINE. THERE'S THE NUMBER, 855-777-7907, AND OUR PRAYER
COUNSELORS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU AND SEND YOU
INFORMATION THAT WE WOULD GIVE PEOPLE HERE LOCALLY. COUPLE
OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT I NEED TO GIVE YOU. THIS COMING
SATURDAY, IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED UP YET AND YOU'RE INTERESTED IN
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ADVANCE THE CAUSE OF POLITICAL LIBERTY
IN THIS NATION, THERE IS A COURSE BEING OFFERED SPONSORED
BY PATRIOT ACADEMY. IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IT'S CALLED A
BLUEPRINT FOR REBUILDING LIBERTY. AND IT'S JUST IN TIME
BEFORE AMERICA'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION COMING
JUST A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW. BUT THIS IS ONLY A FEW HOURS. IT'S 1
TO 5 P.M. AND IT'S SPONSORED BY PATRIOT ACADEMY. SEVERAL LEADERS
FROM NEBRASKA WILL BE HERE. AND THERE'LL BE A FOUR-SESSION VIDEO
TEACHING. PEOPLE LIKE RICK GREEN, TIM AND DAVID BARTON ARE
INVOLVED. AND BASICALLY, IT'S GOING TO COVER EIGHT BUILDING
BLOCKS OF LIBERTY AND A 12-STEP PROGRAM OF ACTION. SO THAT'S
IMPORTANT. SO YOU NOT ONLY LEARN ABOUT LIBERTY IN THIS NATION,
BUT IT GIVES YOU SOME ACTION STEPS TO FOLLOW. AND I THINK
THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANYONE. EVEN IF YOU'RE WELL ESTABLISHED
IN THESE THINGS, IT WOULD BE A GOOD REVIEW TO BE HERE FOR THAT.
SO FEEL FREE TO COME. THERE'S NO CHARGE FOR THAT, AM I RIGHT? ALL
YOU NEED TO DO IS SIGN UP IN THE FOYER AT THE INFORMATION CENTER.

O'CLOCK ON SATURDAY? I MEAN, THAT'S GONNA BE PRETTY SIMPLE.
SO IT'S A GREAT TIME FRAME. COME AT 1:00, BE HERE TILL 5:00. YOU
CAN GO HOME FOR DINNER AND GET READY FOR CHURCH THE NEXT DAY.
SO IT'LL BE A GREAT WAY TO SPEND YOUR SATURDAY. AND I THINK IT'S
SUPPOSED TO BE 20 BELOW ON SATURDAY. SO NO, I'M JUST
JOKING. I JUST THOUGHT IT'D BE A GOOD THING TO BE INSIDE. SO GOD
BLESS YOU. OH, ONE MORE THING. BAPTISMS ARE HAPPENING JUST
FOLLOWING THE SERVICE TODAY. SO IF YOU WANT TO GO JOIN OUR
FAMILY AND SEE WHO'S GETTING BAPTIZED AND REJOICE AND

NIGHT AT MIDWEEK RECHARGE. HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY.
