- FOR THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:03.180
OH, HE IS HERE
00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:05.220
WITH REDEMPTION
00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:06.280
FROM THE FALL
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:08.270
THAT WE MAY LIVE
00:00:08.270 --> 00:00:11.270
FOR THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:12.110 --> 00:00:15.110
THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:18.120
THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:21.140
- WELL, IF YOU HAVE
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:28.040
YOUR BIBLES THIS MORNING,
00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:28.250
LET'S OPEN TO THE BOOK
00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:29.250
IS A VERSE I WENT TO SHARE
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:46.160
WITH YOU AS A LAUNCH
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:47.130
FOR WHAT I THINK THE LORD
00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:48.220
IS SAYING TO US IN THIS HOUR,
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:52.080
AND IS REALLY WANTING US
00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:54.010
TO RESPOND TO,
00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:55.290
AND OPERATE OUT OF
00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:58.250
IN A MEANINGFUL WAY,
00:00:58.250 --> 00:00:59.260
AND IN A NEW WAY, EVEN.
00:00:59.260 --> 00:01:01.090
AND THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT,
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:04.180
THE BEATITUDE SPECIFICALLY,
00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:06.170
MATTHEW 5:6, JESUS SAID,
00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:09.110
"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER
00:01:09.110 --> 00:01:11.270
AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:01:12.230 --> 00:01:15.230
FOR THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED."
00:01:16.150 --> 00:01:19.150
IF YOU'RE HUNGERING
00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:20.010
AND THIRSTING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:22.020
YOU'LL BE SATISFIED.
00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:23.220
IF YOU'RE HUNGER AND THIRSTING
00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:24.210
FOR MORE OF THE LORD,
00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:25.260
I THINK THE LORD'S
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:26.120
GOING TO RESPOND WITH MORE
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.120
OF HIS PRESENCE.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.050
NOW, RECENTLY,
00:01:30.050 --> 00:01:31.030
I'VE BEEN SHARING
00:01:31.030 --> 00:01:33.210
FROM EZEKIEL 37,
00:01:33.210 --> 00:01:35.130
IN THE GREAT VALLEY
00:01:35.130 --> 00:01:36.160
OF DRY BONES,
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:37.180
AND THE LORD SAID TO EZEKIEL,
00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:40.100
"CAN THESE BONES LIVE?"
00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:42.080
AND EZEKIEL KIND OF
00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:43.090
CHICKENED OUT AND SAID,
00:01:43.090 --> 00:01:44.030
"WELL, ALMIGHTY GOD,
00:01:44.030 --> 00:01:46.140
ALL KNOWING GOD,
00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:48.020
ALL POWERFUL GOD, YOU KNOW,"
00:01:48.230 --> 00:01:51.230
AND THEN HE SAYS, "LOOK,"
00:01:51.230 --> 00:01:53.210
AND HE SAYS,
00:01:53.210 --> 00:01:55.050
"PROPHESIED OF THESE BONES
00:01:55.050 --> 00:01:56.060
TO COME TOGETHER AND PUT,
00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:58.120
HAVE FLESH ON THEM."
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.200
AND SO HE DOES,
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.180
AND AS HE BEGAN TO PROPHESY,
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:02.270
IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN.
00:02:02.270 --> 00:02:04.210
AND THEN HE SAID,
00:02:04.210 --> 00:02:05.080
"BUT THERE WAS NO LIFE IN THEM,
00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:06.070
THERE WAS NO BREATH IN THEM."
00:02:06.070 --> 00:02:07.100
AND HE SAID, HE PROPHESIED
00:02:07.100 --> 00:02:08.280
OF THE WINDS OF THE NORTH,
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:09.260
THE SOUTH, THE EAST
00:02:09.260 --> 00:02:10.190
AND THE WEST.
00:02:10.190 --> 00:02:11.170
AND THE BREATH OF GOD TO COME.
00:02:11.170 --> 00:02:13.010
AND BREATH CAME INTO THEM,
00:02:13.010 --> 00:02:14.290
LIFE CAME INTO THE BODIES THEN,
00:02:14.290 --> 00:02:16.210
AND IT WAS AN EXCEEDINGLY
00:02:16.210 --> 00:02:18.090
GREAT ARMY.
00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:20.200
AND THAT'S WHAT THE LORD
00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:21.110
WANTS TODAY.
00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:22.120
A GREAT ARMY
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.030
TO ARISE, AMEN.
00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:26.280
OKAY.
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:27.130
WE GOT AN ARMY
00:02:27.130 --> 00:02:28.000
OF FOUR OR FIVE, ALRIGHT.
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:32.040
SO STAY WITH ME HERE.
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:34.230
WHEN I WAS IN MALAYSIA,
00:02:34.230 --> 00:02:37.070
I WAS STUNNED
00:02:37.070 --> 00:02:39.140
AT THE AMOUNT OF HUNGER
00:02:39.140 --> 00:02:41.130
AND THIRST AND HOLY DESPERATION
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.280
FOR GOD.
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.290
AND THE ONLY THING
00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:48.170
I COULD BEGIN TO THINK OF
00:02:48.170 --> 00:02:50.220
TO COMPARE IT TO
00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:52.110
WAS ABSOLUTE NUTTINESS
00:02:53.070 --> 00:02:56.070
AND SHEER FANATICISM
00:02:56.070 --> 00:02:58.070
OF FOOTBALL FANS IN AMERICA.
00:02:59.130 --> 00:03:02.150
I MEANT, IT'S THE ONLY THING
00:03:02.150 --> 00:03:03.110
I COULD BEGIN TO EVEN,
00:03:03.110 --> 00:03:04.210
AND THAT DIDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE.
00:03:04.210 --> 00:03:07.190
AND I THINK OF ALL KINDS OF FANS
00:03:07.190 --> 00:03:09.240
OF DIFFERENT SPORTS AND THINGS.
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.070
BUT THE ONES THAT GET
00:03:11.070 --> 00:03:12.130
THE BIGGEST KICK OUT OF,
00:03:12.130 --> 00:03:13.120
AND MY DAUGHTER
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.150
WILL GET A KICK OUT OF THIS,
00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:15.170
BECAUSE SHE'S MARRIED
00:03:15.170 --> 00:03:17.140
TO AN OAKLAND RAIDER'S FAN,
00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:19.000
BUT THOSE OAKLAND RAIDER FANS
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:20.100
THAT SHOW UP WITH SPIKES
00:03:20.100 --> 00:03:21.170
IN THEIR HEAD, YOU KNOW,
00:03:21.170 --> 00:03:22.170
AND THEY'RE JUST,
00:03:22.170 --> 00:03:23.240
[GROWLS],
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.200
THEY'RE JUST, YOU KNOW,
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:26.160
THEY'RE LIKE, THEY'RE RAIDERS.
00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:27.270
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST,
00:03:27.270 --> 00:03:28.220
YOU KNOW, AND THEY COME ACROSS
00:03:28.220 --> 00:03:29.140
JUST SO MEAN LOOKING AND FIERCE.
00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:32.160
AND THAT ALONE SCARES
00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:33.100
THE OTHER TEAM.
00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:34.100
JUST THEIR FANS.
00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:36.020
NOT SCARED OF THE TEAM
00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:37.180
THE RAIDERS,
00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:38.180
THEY'RE SCARED
00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:39.050
OF THE FANS OF THE RAIDERS.
00:03:39.050 --> 00:03:40.030
AND, YOU KNOW,
00:03:40.030 --> 00:03:40.220
IT JUST REMINDED OF THAT.
00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:43.260
BUT THE FOLKS
00:03:43.260 --> 00:03:44.160
THAT I ENCOUNTERED IN MALAYSIA,
00:03:44.160 --> 00:03:46.100
BECAUSE THERE'S PERSECUTION,
00:03:46.270 --> 00:03:49.270
ARE SO HUNGRY
00:03:49.270 --> 00:03:50.250
FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:03:50.250 --> 00:03:53.200
A DONKEY COULD HAVE
00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:54.160
GOTTEN UP AND PREACHED,
00:03:54.160 --> 00:03:55.150
I'M JUST TELLING YOU.
00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:57.130
BECAUSE THEY PULLED IT
00:03:57.130 --> 00:03:58.000
RIGHT OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.160
AND IT'S WHAT THE LORD'S
00:04:00.160 --> 00:04:01.090
BEEN SHOWING ME HERE IN WAKO
00:04:01.090 --> 00:04:04.020
WHEN I'VE BEEN HAMMERING
00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:04.280
ON MARK 5, AND MARK 6.
00:04:05.140 --> 00:04:08.140
AND MARK 5, A WOMAN
00:04:08.140 --> 00:04:09.260
WAS SO DESPERATE FOR GOD
00:04:09.260 --> 00:04:12.020
AND FOR A HEALING,
00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:13.190
THAT JESUS DIDN'T EVEN
00:04:13.190 --> 00:04:15.010
PARTICIPATE KNOWINGLY,
00:04:15.010 --> 00:04:16.250
IF SHE'S, SHE SAID,
00:04:16.250 --> 00:04:18.010
"IF I COULD JUST TOUCH
00:04:18.010 --> 00:04:18.230
HIS CLOAK, I'LL BE HEALED."
00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:20.140
AND HE HAD TURNED AROUND,
00:04:20.140 --> 00:04:21.150
BECAUSE HE FELT
00:04:21.150 --> 00:04:21.260
THE POWER LEAVE HIM,
00:04:21.260 --> 00:04:23.130
BECAUSE IT GOT DRAWN OUT
00:04:23.130 --> 00:04:25.020
BY A PERSON THAT WAS DESPERATE
00:04:25.020 --> 00:04:27.020
FOR A TOUCH FROM GOD.
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.040
THE NEXT CHAPTER, SAME SPEAKER,
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.240
DIFFERENT AUDIENCE.
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.040
AND JESUS COULD DO
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.160
A VERY FEW MIRACLES THERE,
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:41.230
AND HE MARVELED
00:04:41.230 --> 00:04:43.010
AT THEIR UNBELIEF.
00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:45.200
THE LORD COULDN'T DO MUCH, WHY?
00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:47.120
BECAUSE THEY
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:47.280
WOULDN'T PARTICIPATE.
00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:50.080
THEY WERE SKEPTICAL.
00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:53.030
WE SAW THIS GUY GROW UP.
00:04:53.030 --> 00:04:55.130
IT'D BE LIKE ME PREACHING
00:04:55.130 --> 00:04:56.060
DOWN IN TEMPLE.
00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:58.000
WE SAW THAT GUY GROW UP
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.030
IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,
00:04:59.030 --> 00:05:00.080
AND IN JUNIOR HIGH,
00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:01.230
AND IN HIGH SCHOOL,
00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:03.190
AND LET'S FORGET
00:05:03.190 --> 00:05:04.210
HIGH SCHOOL, RIGHT.
00:05:04.210 --> 00:05:07.010
I GOT A LETTER RECENTLY,
00:05:07.010 --> 00:05:08.000
AND I DON'T KNOW
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:08.160
IF HE'S WATCHING RIGHT NOW,
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.060
DAVID PENNINGTON,
00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:11.050
IS RETIRED AND HE WROTE ME
00:05:12.090 --> 00:05:15.090
A VERY NICE LETTER.
00:05:15.090 --> 00:05:17.030
REMEMBERS ME
00:05:17.030 --> 00:05:17.220
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY
00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:18.130
THAN WHAT THE REALITY WAS.
00:05:18.130 --> 00:05:20.160
HE REMEMBERED ME,
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.060
AS A VERY NICE BOY
00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:22.010
IN HIGH SCHOOL,
00:05:22.010 --> 00:05:22.250
AND THAT REALLY WASN'T THE CASE.
00:05:22.250 --> 00:05:24.060
SORRY, DAVID,
00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:24.250
IF YOU'RE WATCHING.
00:05:24.250 --> 00:05:26.190
BUT HE WAS JUST AMAZED
00:05:26.190 --> 00:05:28.110
AT WHAT HE WAS SEEING
00:05:28.110 --> 00:05:29.080
NOW, RIGHT.
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.240
WELL, AREN'T YOU GLAD
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:33.230
YOU'RE NOT JUDGED
00:05:33.230 --> 00:05:34.160
BY YOUR CHILDHOOD
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.220
OR YOUNGER YEARS,
00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:36.190
PERHAPS SOME OF US?
00:05:36.190 --> 00:05:38.080
ALRIGHT.
00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:39.000
WELL BUT JESUS
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:39.220
HAD A PERFECT LIFE AS A CHILD,
00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:41.240
A PERFECT LIFE
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:42.180
IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS,
00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:43.220
AND STILL
00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:44.100
THEY'RE SKEPTICAL OF HIM.
00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:46.110
AND BECAUSE OF THAT,
00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:48.250
HE COULD DO VERY LITTLE THERE.
00:05:48.250 --> 00:05:50.090
NOW WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE?
00:05:50.090 --> 00:05:51.150
AND I'M ALWAYS ASKING THIS,
00:05:51.150 --> 00:05:52.210
AND I'M SAYING IT AGAIN,
00:05:52.210 --> 00:05:54.120
BECAUSE THE LORD WANTS ME
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.050
TO POUND IT, AND POUND IT,
00:05:55.050 --> 00:05:56.160
AND POUND IT.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:57.280
I ASK YOU RIGHT NOW,
00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:00.020
WAS JESUS ANY LESS
00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:01.280
THE SON OF GOD
00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:03.140
IN MARK 6 THAN IN CHAPTER 5?
00:06:03.210 --> 00:06:06.210
WHEN ALL IT TOOK WAS JUST,
00:06:06.210 --> 00:06:07.180
"IF I COULD JUST TOUCH
00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:08.160
THE CLOAK."
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.160
AND HE DIDN'T EVEN PARTICIPATE,
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.150
AND SHE DREW IT OUT.
00:06:11.150 --> 00:06:14.010
AND SHE WAS HEALED.
00:06:14.010 --> 00:06:16.260
NO.
00:06:16.260 --> 00:06:17.220
WHAT CHANGED?
00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:19.030
THE AUDIENCE CHANGED.
00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:24.180
THE AUDIENCE.
00:06:24.180 --> 00:06:26.060
SO I'M HERE TO TELL YOU,
00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:27.050
WHEN SOME, WHEN A GROUP GATHERS
00:06:27.050 --> 00:06:29.190
TO WORSHIP, AND PEOPLE
00:06:29.190 --> 00:06:30.240
NEED PRAYER,
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.260
AND THE POWER OF GOD IS THERE,
00:06:31.260 --> 00:06:34.040
IF THINGS HAPPEN,
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.240
IT'S MORE A REFLECTION
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.270
OF THE HUNGER OF THE PEOPLE
00:06:37.270 --> 00:06:39.150
VERSES THE SPECIALNESS
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.040
OR ANOINTEDNESS
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:44.130
OF THE PERSON PREACHING,
00:06:44.130 --> 00:06:46.100
OR MINISTERING, OR PRAYING.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.160
ARE YOU WITH ME?
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.000
SO WE GET ALL CAUGHT UP
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.050
IN WHO'S COMING,
00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:55.010
AND WHO'S GOING TO SPEAK.
00:06:55.010 --> 00:06:56.020
AND BELIEVE ME,
00:06:56.020 --> 00:06:56.210
THERE ARE PEOPLE
00:06:56.210 --> 00:06:57.080
THAT I WANT TO GET AROUND
00:06:57.080 --> 00:06:58.120
AND HANG AROUND.
00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.150
I MEAN, I WANT TO HANG AROUND
00:06:59.150 --> 00:07:00.150
THE PEOPLE THAT HANG
00:07:00.150 --> 00:07:01.110
AROUND JESUS.
00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:02.180
BECAUSE I WANT MORE
00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:03.090
OF WHAT THEY'VE GOT.
00:07:03.090 --> 00:07:04.140
BELIEVE, AND I,
00:07:04.140 --> 00:07:05.060
THAT'S LEGITIMATE, ALRIGHT?
00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:07.030
BECAUSE THINGS NEED
00:07:07.030 --> 00:07:07.200
TO BE IMPARTED.
00:07:07.200 --> 00:07:10.000
BUT I'M TELLING YOU,
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:10.190
WHEN WE GATHER,
00:07:10.190 --> 00:07:11.250
IF THINGS HAPPEN SUPERNATURALLY,
00:07:11.250 --> 00:07:14.170
IT REFLECTS THE HUNGER,
00:07:14.170 --> 00:07:16.080
THE THIRST FOR GOD,
00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:17.240
AND THE DESPERATION OF THOSE
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.100
THAT NEED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.
00:07:19.100 --> 00:07:22.040
AND IF YOU DON'T PULL ON HEAVEN,
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.030
VERY LITTLE'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:07:24.050 --> 00:07:27.050
WHEN I WAS MALAYSIA,
00:07:27.050 --> 00:07:28.030
THEY WERE SO PULLING ON HEAVEN,
00:07:28.030 --> 00:07:30.050
DOZENS AND DOZENS
00:07:30.050 --> 00:07:31.060
AND DOZENS OF PEOPLE
00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.020
RECEIVED SUPERNATURAL HEALING.
00:07:32.020 --> 00:07:34.080
PEOPLE THAT COULDN'T WALK
00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:35.060
COULD WALK.
00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:36.070
PEOPLE THAT COULDN'T SEE
00:07:36.070 --> 00:07:37.020
BEGAN TO SEE.
00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:38.210
PEOPLE WITH JUST BLURRED VISION,
00:07:38.210 --> 00:07:39.240
IT CLEARED UP.
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.260
PEOPLE WITH SPOTS IN THEIR EYES,
00:07:40.260 --> 00:07:42.120
THE SPOTS DISAPPEARED.
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.160
A WOMAN HAD FALLEN DOWN,
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:46.200
AND I'M SORRY I FORGOT
00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:47.210
TO GIVE PICTURES TO JASON.
00:07:47.210 --> 00:07:49.120
I'LL GIVE THEM TO HIM.
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.080
AND THERE'S A WOMAN
00:07:51.080 --> 00:07:52.160
IN HER LATE 70'S,
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:53.160
AND SHE'S STANDING ON A CHAIR,
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.080
JUMPING UP AND DOWN
00:07:55.080 --> 00:07:56.130
WAVING HER ARMS.
00:07:56.130 --> 00:07:58.150
NOT ONLY WAS HER VISION HEALED,
00:07:58.150 --> 00:08:00.110
BUT SHE COULDN'T LIFT HER ARM,
00:08:00.110 --> 00:08:02.070
SHE COULDN'T LIFT HER LEG.
00:08:02.070 --> 00:08:03.210
SHE HAD TO HAVE HELP WALKING,
00:08:03.210 --> 00:08:05.160
AND SHE'S, SHE CLIMBED UP
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:06.270
ON HER CHAIR,
00:08:06.270 --> 00:08:07.160
AND SHE'S JUMPING UP
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.090
AND DOWN DOING THIS.
00:08:08.090 --> 00:08:10.140
THAT SOUNDS KIND OF SILLY,
00:08:10.140 --> 00:08:11.250
AREN'T WE SUPPOSED TO BE
00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:12.210
A LITTLE MORE DIGNIFIED
00:08:12.210 --> 00:08:13.170
IN CHURCH?
00:08:13.170 --> 00:08:14.240
WELL NOT WHEN
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.100
THAT HAPPENS TO YOU.
00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:17.020
I MEAN, YOU DON'T CARE.
00:08:17.020 --> 00:08:19.270
RIGHT?
00:08:19.270 --> 00:08:22.160
AND SO, THESE KIND OF THINGS
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.150
KEPT HAPPENING.
00:08:23.150 --> 00:08:24.030
AND THEN PROPHETIC WORDS,
00:08:24.030 --> 00:08:25.150
AND YOU KNOW,
00:08:25.150 --> 00:08:26.110
I MINISTERED TO PEOPLE.
00:08:26.110 --> 00:08:27.180
AND I MINISTERED TO A YOUNG MAN,
00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:28.280
AND HIS PARENTS WERE THERE,
00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:30.270
AND GOD GAVE ME
00:08:30.270 --> 00:08:32.010
VERY SPECIFIC THINGS,
00:08:32.010 --> 00:08:32.270
PROPHETIC WORDS.
00:08:32.270 --> 00:08:34.250
AND I SPOKE
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:35.200
INTO HIS REAL CALLING
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.090
IN THE CALLING OF GOD
00:08:37.090 --> 00:08:38.200
FOR HIS LIFE AND HIS VOCATION.
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.230
AND HE SAYS, "IT DOESN'T MATTER
00:08:40.230 --> 00:08:42.160
IF YOU STUDY ENGINEERING,
00:08:42.160 --> 00:08:44.280
BUT THIS IS THE LORD
00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:45.280
WANTS YOU TO DO.
00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:46.270
YOU CAN STUDY ENGINEERING,
00:08:46.270 --> 00:08:48.120
BUT THE LORD
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:48.270
WANTS YOU TO DO THIS."
00:08:48.270 --> 00:08:49.210
AND I WENT ON AND ON AND ON.
00:08:49.210 --> 00:08:50.260
AND THEY JUST ASSUMED
00:08:50.260 --> 00:08:52.170
THAT THE YOUNG MAN
00:08:52.170 --> 00:08:53.100
HAD TOLD ME
00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:53.250
HE WAS GOING TO BE
00:08:53.250 --> 00:08:54.160
AN ENGINEERING MAJOR.
00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:57.000
THEY DIDN'T.
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:57.290
HE DIDN'T.
00:08:57.290 --> 00:08:59.060
I DIDN'T KNOW
00:08:59.060 --> 00:08:59.210
THAT IN THE NATURAL.
00:08:59.210 --> 00:09:00.210
I JUST THREW IT OUT THERE,
00:09:00.210 --> 00:09:02.130
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
00:09:02.130 --> 00:09:03.020
I WAS HEARING.
00:09:03.020 --> 00:09:04.140
AND THEY WERE SHOCKED.
00:09:04.140 --> 00:09:05.240
SURELY SOMEBODY TOLD YOU.
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.180
I SAID, "NO, MY NAME
00:09:07.180 --> 00:09:09.120
IS NOT SHIRLEY,
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.270
AND NOBODY TOLD ME.
00:09:11.270 --> 00:09:14.140
EXCEPT THE PERSON CALLED
00:09:14.140 --> 00:09:15.190
HOLY SPIRIT,"
00:09:15.190 --> 00:09:17.160
OKAY, SO THAT YOU WOULD KNOW,
00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:19.180
AS ASSIGN OF WONDER
00:09:19.180 --> 00:09:20.210
THAT WHAT I'M SAYING
00:09:20.210 --> 00:09:21.270
IS THE WORD OF THE LORD.
00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:24.010
AND SO, I DID THAT
00:09:24.010 --> 00:09:24.200
WITH DOZENS OF PEOPLE.
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.070
POLITICAL LEADERS,
00:09:26.070 --> 00:09:27.060
DIFFERENT LEADERS CAME
00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:28.150
AND SET UP
00:09:28.150 --> 00:09:29.000
PRIVATE APPOINTMENTS.
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:29.230
AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
00:09:29.230 --> 00:09:30.180
WAS JUST FLOWING.
00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:31.220
AND I MINISTERED THAT WAY,
00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:33.030
AND IT'S SOMETHING
00:09:33.030 --> 00:09:33.250
THAT ANYONE HERE CAN DO, OKAY.
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.120
AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.060
THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:09:38.060 --> 00:09:39.040
BUT YOU NEED TO BELIEVE.
00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:40.140
AND I LOVE WHAT F.F. BOSWORTH
00:09:40.140 --> 00:09:42.120
SAID IN HIS BOOK,
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.290
"CHRIST THE HEALER,"
00:09:43.290 --> 00:09:45.050
WHEN HE SAID, "STOP DOUBTING
00:09:45.050 --> 00:09:47.060
YOUR FAITH,
00:09:47.060 --> 00:09:48.260
AND START DOUBTING
00:09:48.260 --> 00:09:49.270
YOUR DOUBTS."
00:09:49.270 --> 00:09:52.130
LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.
00:09:52.130 --> 00:09:53.020
"STOP DOUBTING YOUR FAITH,
00:09:53.020 --> 00:09:54.060
AND START DOUBTING YOUR DOUBTS."
00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:56.010
THOSE DOUBTS ARE FROM THE ENEMY,
00:09:56.010 --> 00:09:58.100
THEY'RE NOT FROM GOD.
00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:00.050
GOD IS NOT TEMPTING
00:10:00.050 --> 00:10:00.290
YOU TO DOUBT.
00:10:00.290 --> 00:10:03.090
HE'S SAYING,
00:10:03.090 --> 00:10:03.250
"PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME."
00:10:03.250 --> 00:10:05.190
THE GOD WHO MADE THE SUN,
00:10:05.190 --> 00:10:07.170
THE HEAVENS, AND THE EARTH,
00:10:07.170 --> 00:10:09.040
IS NOT LIMITED IN HIS POWER.
00:10:09.140 --> 00:10:12.140
HEAVEN'S WAITING ON EARTH.
00:10:12.140 --> 00:10:14.180
SO, AS I CONTINUE
00:10:14.180 --> 00:10:15.200
TO MINISTER AND ONE, ON ONE DAY,
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.240
I PREACHED FIVE TIMES.
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.120
AND THEY JUST,
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.090
AND I JUST COULDN'T SAY
00:10:22.090 --> 00:10:24.060
NO TO THEM.
00:10:24.060 --> 00:10:24.280
SO I, IN ONE DAY,
00:10:24.280 --> 00:10:26.060
I'VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE.
00:10:26.060 --> 00:10:28.030
PREACHED FIVE MESSAGES.
00:10:28.030 --> 00:10:30.070
AND MY VOICE WAS GIVING OUT
00:10:30.070 --> 00:10:31.250
BY THE END OF THE DAY.
00:10:31.250 --> 00:10:32.290
BUT IN THE MIDDLE
00:10:32.290 --> 00:10:33.160
OF ONE OF THOSE SERMONS,
00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:34.200
WHICH WAS JUST A WEEK AGO
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.160
YESTERDAY, I SAID,
00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:38.170
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT
00:10:38.170 --> 00:10:39.060
OF IDOLATRY IN THIS NATION.
00:10:39.060 --> 00:10:41.130
I DECLARED TO THEM THAT THE LORD
00:10:41.130 --> 00:10:42.160
WAS BRINGING DOWN IDOLATRY
00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:44.270
IN THE NATION,
00:10:44.270 --> 00:10:45.270
AND THEY WOULD SEE IDOLATRY
00:10:45.270 --> 00:10:47.210
COME TO AN END,
00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:49.010
MOSTLY WAS GOING TO COME DOWN,
00:10:49.010 --> 00:10:51.160
BECAUSE THERE'S JUST A LOT
00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:52.050
OF IDOL WORSHIP THAT GOES ON.
00:10:52.050 --> 00:10:54.050
AND I SAID, "AND SO MUCH SO
00:10:54.050 --> 00:10:55.290
IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN,
00:10:55.290 --> 00:10:57.200
GOD'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A SIGN,
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.100
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING
00:10:59.100 --> 00:10:59.270
TO SEE A FLOOD,
00:10:59.270 --> 00:11:01.120
AND THAT WILL BE A SIGN
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.090
TO YOU THAT IDOLATRY
00:11:02.090 --> 00:11:04.150
IS COMING DOWN IN THAT NATION."
00:11:04.150 --> 00:11:06.070
IMMEDIATELY, SKEPTICISM CAME OUT
00:11:06.070 --> 00:11:08.070
FROM TWO OR THREE PEOPLE,
00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:09.010
SAY, THEY SAID,
00:11:09.010 --> 00:11:10.000
"IT NEVER FLOODS HERE.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.260
NO, IT DOESN'T FLOOD HERE."
00:11:11.260 --> 00:11:13.120
I SAID, "WELL, IT'S GOING TO,"
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.010
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MESSAGE,
00:11:15.010 --> 00:11:15.280
I SAID, "IT'S GOING
00:11:15.280 --> 00:11:16.180
TO FLOOD HERE,
00:11:16.180 --> 00:11:17.210
AND IT'S GOING TO BE
00:11:17.210 --> 00:11:18.240
A SIGN TO YOU.
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.130
WHEN, I DON'T KNOW.
00:11:19.130 --> 00:11:21.110
OKAY, I'M JUST
00:11:21.110 --> 00:11:21.290
THE MAILMAN, OKAY.
00:11:21.290 --> 00:11:23.230
I DIDN'T WRITE THE MAIL.
00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:25.280
I'M DECLARING TO YOU
00:11:25.280 --> 00:11:27.080
THE WORD OF THE LORD.
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.070
ON FRIDAY, I GET MESSAGES
00:11:30.070 --> 00:11:31.100
ON MESSENGER AND FACEBOOK,
00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:33.220
"PASTOR, IT'S FLOODING
00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:34.240
IN THE CAPITAL
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.140
OF OUR STATE RIGHT NOW.
00:11:35.140 --> 00:11:36.270
IT'S FLOODING,
00:11:36.270 --> 00:11:37.180
IT'S FLOODING."
00:11:37.270 --> 00:11:40.270
AND I SAID, "OKAY.
00:11:40.270 --> 00:11:43.110
I'M NOT EXCITED ABOUT THE FLOOD.
00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:44.260
I'M EXCITED THAT IDOLATRY'S
00:11:44.260 --> 00:11:45.230
COMING DOWN.
00:11:45.230 --> 00:11:46.220
AND NOW YOU'RE GOING
00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:47.090
TO BELIEVE IT."
00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:50.280
NOW, WHY DO I SHARE THAT
00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:52.150
WITH YOU?
00:11:52.150 --> 00:11:53.030
BECAUSE I BELIEVE
00:11:53.030 --> 00:11:54.010
THAT EVERY CHILD OF GOD
00:11:54.010 --> 00:11:55.040
CAN HEAR HIS VOICE.
00:11:55.040 --> 00:11:56.280
HE SAYS, "MY SHEEP
00:11:56.280 --> 00:11:57.220
HEAR MY VOICE."
00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:59.150
AND ALL OF PEOPLE THAT CRITICIZE
00:11:59.150 --> 00:12:02.010
PROPHETIC MINISTRY LIKE THAT,
00:12:02.010 --> 00:12:03.280
NEED TO TAKE OUT JOHN 10
00:12:03.280 --> 00:12:06.060
FROM THEIR BIBLES,
00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:07.280
BECAUSE MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE,
00:12:07.280 --> 00:12:09.270
AND I GIVE ET --,
00:12:09.270 --> 00:12:11.000
THEY FOLLOW ME AND I GIVE
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.250
ETERNAL LIFE TO THEM.
00:12:11.250 --> 00:12:12.180
OKAY, THAT'S WHAT
00:12:12.180 --> 00:12:13.050
JESUS SAID.
00:12:13.050 --> 00:12:14.150
OKAY.
00:12:14.150 --> 00:12:15.200
AND YOU KNOW,
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.030
I DON'T KNOW
00:12:16.030 --> 00:12:16.170
HOW YOU TAKE OUT JOHN 10,
00:12:16.170 --> 00:12:18.090
BUT LEAVE IN JOHN 3:16.
00:12:18.090 --> 00:12:20.160
OKAY, "FOR GOD SO LOVED
00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:22.020
THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE
00:12:22.020 --> 00:12:22.210
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,
00:12:22.210 --> 00:12:23.260
THAT WHOSOEVER
00:12:23.260 --> 00:12:24.120
BELIEVETH IN HIM"
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:24.290
WOULD HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:12:24.290 --> 00:12:27.050
WOULD NOT PERISH
00:12:27.050 --> 00:12:27.250
BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
00:12:27.250 --> 00:12:29.170
OKAY, WHICH DO YOU WANT
00:12:29.170 --> 00:12:30.230
TO BELIEVE?
00:12:30.230 --> 00:12:31.290
YOU KNOW, THAT JESUS
00:12:31.290 --> 00:12:33.220
WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN?
00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:35.060
OH YEAH, THAT'S OKAY,
00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:35.280
THAT'S OKAY.
00:12:35.280 --> 00:12:37.080
THAT HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.070
OH YEAH, THAT'S OKAY.
00:12:38.070 --> 00:12:41.020
BUT THAT HE COULD STILL
00:12:41.020 --> 00:12:42.230
SPEAK TO US,
00:12:42.230 --> 00:12:43.180
THE ONE WHO CALLS
00:12:43.180 --> 00:12:44.250
HIMSELF THE WORD?
00:12:44.250 --> 00:12:47.100
YES, HE STILL SPEAKS TO US.
00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:48.280
IT'S JUST IN POPULAR SOCIETY
00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:50.100
AND IN THE NEWS,
00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:51.230
AND WHERE THE PRINCE
00:12:51.230 --> 00:12:53.000
OF THE POWER OF THE AIR,
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.240
AND THE ENEMY CONTROLS THINGS,
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.130
THEY WANT TO MAKE FUN
00:12:55.130 --> 00:12:56.110
OF PEOPLE THAT SAY
00:12:56.110 --> 00:12:57.060
THEY HEARD FROM GOD.
00:12:57.060 --> 00:12:58.130
AND USUALLY IT'S BECAUSE
00:12:58.130 --> 00:12:59.140
IT'S IN THE NEWS BECAUSE
00:12:59.140 --> 00:13:00.100
SOMEBODY KILLED SOMEBODY,
00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:01.130
AND THEY SAID,
00:13:01.130 --> 00:13:01.260
"GOD TOLD ME TO DO IT."
00:13:01.260 --> 00:13:04.210
YOU KNOW, SO THE ENEMY'S
00:13:04.210 --> 00:13:06.010
ALWAYS TRYING TO DISCREDIT
00:13:06.010 --> 00:13:07.290
WHAT IS VERY, VERY BASIC
00:13:07.290 --> 00:13:10.000
AND BIBLICAL, ALRIGHT.
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.250
SO I'M GOING TO GET TO THIS.
00:13:11.250 --> 00:13:12.250
LOOK AT 1 CORINTHIANS 14:21,
00:13:14.050 --> 00:13:17.050
FIRST PAUL SAYS
00:13:17.050 --> 00:13:18.070
AT THE END OF CHAPTER 12,
00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:20.020
TO PASSIONATELY,
00:13:20.020 --> 00:13:20.290
ZEALOUSLY GO AFTER
00:13:20.290 --> 00:13:23.190
WITH GREAT ENERGY AND PASSION,
00:13:23.190 --> 00:13:26.030
I MEAN, IT'S A WORD
00:13:26.030 --> 00:13:27.170
FOR JUST ROMANTIC PASSION.
00:13:29.280 --> 00:13:32.280
I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT
00:13:32.280 --> 00:13:35.050
AS STRONGLY AS IT REALLY
00:13:35.050 --> 00:13:36.070
COULD BE SAID.
00:13:36.070 --> 00:13:36.280
BUT TO USE GREAT PASSION
00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:39.080
IN GOING AFTER THE GIFTS
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.030
OF THE SPIRIT.
00:13:40.030 --> 00:13:41.110
AND THEN HE SAYS IT AGAIN
00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:42.070
IN CHAPTER 14,
00:13:42.070 --> 00:13:43.130
HE SAYS IT TWICE IN CHAPTER 14.
00:13:43.130 --> 00:13:45.130
BUT SO, AS WE GO AFTER THAT,
00:13:45.250 --> 00:13:48.250
BUT THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU
00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:49.240
TO SEE, VERSE 31, IT SAYS,
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.080
"FOR YOU CAN ALL PROPHESY
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.050
ONE BY ONE,
00:13:53.050 --> 00:13:54.090
SO THAT ALL MAY LEARN
00:13:54.090 --> 00:13:55.090
AND BE EXHORTED,"
00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:58.060
SO JUST LOOK AT SOMEBODY
00:13:58.060 --> 00:13:59.000
AND SAY, YOU CAN PROPHESY.
00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:02.180
NOW I KNOW NOT EVERYBODY
00:14:02.180 --> 00:14:03.220
SAID IT, BUT TRY IT AGAIN.
00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:04.290
TELL SOMEBODY ELSE,
00:14:04.290 --> 00:14:06.100
"YOU CAN PROPHESY."
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:09.200
NOW LET'S MAKE IT
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.050
EVEN MORE PERSONAL.
00:14:10.050 --> 00:14:11.170
SAY OUT LOUD, JUST TO GOD,
00:14:11.170 --> 00:14:13.110
"I CAN PROPHESY."
00:14:13.110 --> 00:14:16.090
THAT SOUNDED REALLY GOOD.
00:14:16.090 --> 00:14:18.190
BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PROPHESY.
00:14:18.190 --> 00:14:21.040
THE EZEKIEL 37 PASSAGE
00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:22.260
MAKES VERY CLEAR THAT GOD
00:14:22.260 --> 00:14:24.100
IS RAISING UP
00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:24.290
AN INCREDIBLE ARMY.
00:14:24.290 --> 00:14:27.110
AND YOU MAY BE WILLING TO GRANT,
00:14:27.110 --> 00:14:29.040
"OKAY, WAY OVER THERE
00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:30.110
ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE
00:14:30.110 --> 00:14:31.140
OF THE WORLD,
00:14:31.140 --> 00:14:33.100
WHERE NONE OF US WERE THERE,
00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:34.110
PASTOR, YOU MAKE ALL
00:14:34.110 --> 00:14:35.140
THESE CLAIMS ABOUT HEALING.
00:14:35.140 --> 00:14:37.080
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.210
JUST DOWN THE STREET
00:14:38.210 --> 00:14:39.130
OVER HERE AT 18TH STREET,
00:14:39.130 --> 00:14:40.180
I WAS PREACHING
00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:41.030
AT NEW JERUSALEM WORSHIP CENTER,
00:14:41.030 --> 00:14:43.010
AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH,
00:14:43.010 --> 00:14:44.150
ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
00:14:44.150 --> 00:14:46.190
AND THERE WERE ABOUT
00:14:46.190 --> 00:14:47.040
25 HEALINGS THERE.
00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:49.090
PEOPLE WEEPING,
00:14:49.090 --> 00:14:51.000
SUFFERING FROM YEARS OF PAIN
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.090
IN THEIR BODIES.
00:14:52.090 --> 00:14:53.120
AND I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:54.040
PAIN IN JUST A MINUTE.
00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:55.170
AND ONE PASTOR'S WIFE
00:14:55.170 --> 00:14:57.240
HAD GREAT BULGES IN HER SHOULDER
00:14:57.290 --> 00:15:01.010
AND BACK OF HER NECK,
00:15:01.010 --> 00:15:02.100
AND THEY COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED,
00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:03.220
AND ALL THE PAIN DISAPPEARED.
00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:05.050
AND SHE'S WEEPING,
00:15:05.050 --> 00:15:06.140
COMPLETELY UNDONE
00:15:06.140 --> 00:15:07.190
AND CAN'T TALK.
00:15:07.190 --> 00:15:10.050
BECAUSE THE PAIN.
00:15:10.050 --> 00:15:11.130
ANOTHER PASTOR WALKED IN LIMPING
00:15:11.130 --> 00:15:13.200
BECAUSE OF THE PAIN IN HIS KNEE
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.230
HE'D HAD A LONG TIME.
00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:15.250
IT WAS COMPLETELY GONE
00:15:15.250 --> 00:15:17.050
WHEN WE FINISHED PRAYING.
00:15:17.050 --> 00:15:18.260
AND ALL I DID WAS ASK
00:15:18.260 --> 00:15:19.200
EVERYBODY TO PRAY FOR THOSE
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.250
WHO HAD PAIN IN THEIR BODIES.
00:15:20.250 --> 00:15:23.160
OKAY, JUST, YOU'RE GOING
00:15:23.160 --> 00:15:24.180
TO DO THAT.
00:15:24.180 --> 00:15:25.030
AND I DID NOT PERSONALLY
00:15:25.030 --> 00:15:26.060
PRAY FOR ANYBODY,
00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:28.000
BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT THEM
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:28.240
TO PUT ATTENTION ON ME.
00:15:29.050 --> 00:15:32.050
THEY NEEDED TO PUT
00:15:32.050 --> 00:15:32.280
ALL THE ATTENTION ON JESUS.
00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:36.040
JESUS IS THE ONE
00:15:36.040 --> 00:15:36.250
THAT SHED HIS BLOOD
00:15:36.250 --> 00:15:38.060
THAT WE JUST CELEBRATED
00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:39.070
IN TAKING HOLY
00:15:39.070 --> 00:15:40.120
COMMUNION TOGETHER.
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.120
OKAY, IT WAS JESUS
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.120
THAT DID THAT.
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.120
IT WAS JESUS THAT HEALED
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.090
ALL THE SICK.
00:15:45.090 --> 00:15:46.090
AND IT'S JESUS STILL HEALING
00:15:46.090 --> 00:15:47.290
THE SICK TODAY, OKAY.
00:15:47.290 --> 00:15:50.050
SO I PRAYED WITH A WOMAN
00:15:50.050 --> 00:15:52.040
WHO HAS A TUMOR
00:15:52.040 --> 00:15:54.190
THE SIZE OF A LEMON,
00:15:54.190 --> 00:15:55.210
IN HER THORAX AREA
00:15:55.210 --> 00:15:57.060
RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE
00:15:57.060 --> 00:15:58.040
OF HER CHEST.
00:15:58.040 --> 00:15:59.000
ON FRIDAY, I SPENT SIX HOURS
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.180
WITH HER, TAKING HER
00:16:00.180 --> 00:16:01.240
TO HELP MAKE ARRANGEMENTS.
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.220
AND SHE'S ALREADY ORDERED
00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:06.030
HOSPICE CARE TO COME.
00:16:06.030 --> 00:16:07.190
AND I SAID, "LOOK, I KNOW
00:16:07.190 --> 00:16:09.060
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE ONE DAY,
00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:11.240
WE'LL BE DONE.
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.040
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:14.100
I'M NOT GOOFY, OKAY?
00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:16.030
OKAY, I KNOW
00:16:16.030 --> 00:16:18.010
THERE'S GOOFY PEOPLE
00:16:18.010 --> 00:16:19.000
THAT TALK ABOUT HEALING
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.050
AND THEY'RE JUST IRRATIONAL.
00:16:20.050 --> 00:16:21.230
I KNOW THAT.
00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:23.090
BUT JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY
00:16:23.090 --> 00:16:24.070
TALKS ABOUT THIS STUFF
00:16:24.070 --> 00:16:26.070
IN A KIND OF A GOOFY WAY
00:16:26.070 --> 00:16:28.280
DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S
00:16:28.280 --> 00:16:29.140
NOT AN ACCURATE WAY
00:16:29.140 --> 00:16:30.210
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ALMIGHTY GOD
00:16:30.210 --> 00:16:32.150
STILL WANTS TO DO TODAY
00:16:32.150 --> 00:16:34.030
TO BRING REVIVAL
00:16:34.030 --> 00:16:35.130
AND TO BRING PEOPLE
00:16:35.130 --> 00:16:36.060
INTO HIS KINGDOM, AMEN?
00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:38.180
ALRIGHT, SO IF YOU DON'T MIND,
00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:40.110
I'M GOING TO PRAY
00:16:40.110 --> 00:16:41.010
FOR YOUR HEALING ANYWAY.
00:16:41.010 --> 00:16:43.290
OKAY, I KNOW YOU'VE INVITED
00:16:43.290 --> 00:16:45.040
HOSPICE CARE.
00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:46.030
BUT, I'M GOING TO PRAY.
00:16:46.030 --> 00:16:47.050
I SAID, "SOMETIMES GOD BRINGS
00:16:47.050 --> 00:16:48.210
HEALING THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN.
00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:50.170
AND SOMETIMES GOD BRINGS
00:16:50.170 --> 00:16:51.240
THE ULTIMATE HEALING
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.040
AND WE STEP ON INTO ETERNITY.
00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:54.220
AND YOU KNOW,
00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:55.050
I'M PRETTY MUCH READY
00:16:55.050 --> 00:16:55.270
FOR THAT ANYTIME, OKAY.
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.000
BUT IT'S BETTER FOR MY WIFE
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.270
AND KIDS AND GRANDKIDS
00:17:00.270 --> 00:17:02.020
THAT I HANG AROUND
00:17:02.020 --> 00:17:03.070
A LITTLE LONGER.
00:17:03.070 --> 00:17:03.290
SO, I'LL JUST HANG AROUND
00:17:03.290 --> 00:17:04.270
A LITTLE LONGER.
00:17:04.270 --> 00:17:05.220
BUT IF THE LORD SAID TODAY,
00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:06.280
I'D SAY, "LET'S GO."
00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:08.070
I MEAN, "LET'S GO."
00:17:08.070 --> 00:17:09.180
I'LL PRAY FROM HEAVEN, OKAY.
00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:11.120
WE'LL KEEP GOING.
00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:12.050
SO I SAID TO THIS DEAR,
00:17:12.050 --> 00:17:15.020
SWEET ONE, I SAID, "YOUR TUMOR'S
00:17:15.020 --> 00:17:17.030
NOT GOING TO GET WORSE
00:17:17.030 --> 00:17:18.090
IF I PRAY FOR YOU, RIGHT?"
00:17:18.090 --> 00:17:20.160
WELL SHE WAS IN GREAT PAIN
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.190
AND COULDN'T HARDLY
00:17:21.190 --> 00:17:22.050
GET IN THE CAR.
00:17:22.050 --> 00:17:23.020
AND I SAID, YOU KNOW,
00:17:23.020 --> 00:17:25.000
"LET'S JUST PRAY
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.170
SO YOU CAN MAKE THIS TRIP."
00:17:25.170 --> 00:17:26.290
WE'RE DRIVING TO FORT WORTH.
00:17:26.290 --> 00:17:28.010
AND SHE SAID, "OKAY."
00:17:28.100 --> 00:17:31.100
SO I PRAYED FOR HER,
00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:32.170
AND I ASKED GOD
00:17:32.170 --> 00:17:33.040
TO REDUCE THE PAIN.
00:17:33.040 --> 00:17:34.100
AND SHE WAS SHOCKED
00:17:34.100 --> 00:17:35.060
THAT INSTANTLY THE PAIN
00:17:35.060 --> 00:17:36.120
REDUCED IN HALF.
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:38.250
ON THE SPOT.
00:17:38.250 --> 00:17:41.000
SHE SAID, "I THINK
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:41.160
WE CAN GO NOW."
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:43.000
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
00:17:43.130 --> 00:17:46.130
SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:17:46.130 --> 00:17:47.100
HOW GOD MOVES,
00:17:47.100 --> 00:17:48.090
AND HOW HE DOESN'T MOVE.
00:17:48.090 --> 00:17:50.150
I LIKE WHAT JACK DEER SAID.
00:17:50.150 --> 00:17:51.200
HE SAID, IF THE LORD TOLD HIM
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.130
THAT IF YOU NEVER TRIED
00:17:53.130 --> 00:17:54.160
TO TAKE THE CREDIT WHEN I HEAL,
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.020
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO TAKE
00:17:57.020 --> 00:17:57.290
THE BLAME, WHEN I DON'T.
00:17:58.030 --> 00:18:01.050
I'LL TAKE THAT DEAL.
00:18:01.050 --> 00:18:02.220
YEAH, GO AHEAD LORD.
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:04.000
YEAH, JUST, I'M GOING TO ASK
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.000
YOU TO HEAL,
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:05.280
AND YOU'RE THE HEALER, I'M NOT.
00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:07.130
I'M THE ASKER.
00:18:07.130 --> 00:18:08.280
I'M THE ONE THAT DECLARES IT.
00:18:08.280 --> 00:18:10.120
I'M THE ONE THAT RELEASES IT,
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.160
AND BELIEVES FOR IT.
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.090
OKAY.
00:18:15.090 --> 00:18:16.220
AND I EVEN THINK
00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:17.240
WHEN THERE'S HARDLY ANY FAITH,
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:19.160
GOD CAN HEAL.
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:21.200
I MEAN, I REMEMBER RANDY CLARK
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.170
SAID ONE TIME ON THE FIRST TIMES
00:18:22.170 --> 00:18:23.290
HE PRAYED FOR SOMEBODY
00:18:23.290 --> 00:18:24.270
TO BE HEALED, HE PRAYED
00:18:24.270 --> 00:18:27.210
AND HE REALLY DIDN'T THINK
00:18:27.210 --> 00:18:28.120
IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:18:28.120 --> 00:18:29.250
AND THE LADY DIDN'T EVEN
00:18:29.250 --> 00:18:30.150
WANT HIM TO PRAY.
00:18:30.150 --> 00:18:31.040
SAID, "GO AHEAD.
00:18:31.040 --> 00:18:31.210
I DON'T BELIEVE
00:18:31.210 --> 00:18:32.070
IN ALL THAT STUFF,
00:18:32.070 --> 00:18:32.230
BUT GO AHEAD."
00:18:32.230 --> 00:18:33.130
HE SAID, "WELL, I'M KIND
00:18:33.130 --> 00:18:34.010
OF STUDYING IT, AND I'D KIND OF,
00:18:34.010 --> 00:18:35.130
I'D LIKE TO DO IT
00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:36.060
IF IT'S OKAY."
00:18:36.060 --> 00:18:37.050
AND SHE, I FORGET WHAT IT WAS,
00:18:37.050 --> 00:18:38.200
BUT HE PRAYED FOR HER,
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.110
AND SUPERNATURALLY,
00:18:40.110 --> 00:18:41.210
INSTANTLY, SHE WAS HEALED.
00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:43.080
AND SHE GOES, "I'M HEALED!"
00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:45.060
HE GOES, "YOU ARE?"
00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:46.110
[LAUGHTER]
00:18:46.280 --> 00:18:49.280
SO GUESS WHAT?
00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:50.290
HE DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT
00:18:50.290 --> 00:18:52.050
OF FAITH IN IT EITHER.
00:18:52.050 --> 00:18:53.120
BUT GOD WAS TRYING
00:18:53.120 --> 00:18:54.040
TO TELL HIM SOMETHING.
00:18:54.040 --> 00:18:56.130
IT AIN'T YOU.
00:18:56.210 --> 00:18:59.210
JESUS PUT IT THIS WAY,
00:18:59.210 --> 00:19:01.010
"APART FROM ME,
00:19:01.010 --> 00:19:01.220
YOU CAN DO NOTHING."
00:19:03.050 --> 00:19:06.050
BUT THEN HE REMINDS US
00:19:06.050 --> 00:19:07.020
IN PHILIPPIANS 4:13
00:19:07.020 --> 00:19:08.180
THAT'S IN JOHN 15
00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:09.150
WHERE HE SAID THAT,
00:19:09.150 --> 00:19:10.100
BUT HE REMINDS US
00:19:10.100 --> 00:19:11.040
IN PHILIPPIANS 4:13, "I CAN,"
00:19:11.040 --> 00:19:13.210
PAUL SAYS, "I CAN DO ALL THINGS
00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:14.270
THROUGH CHRIST
00:19:14.270 --> 00:19:16.110
WHO STRENGTHENS ME."
00:19:16.110 --> 00:19:18.280
ALRIGHT, SO STOP DOUBTING
00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:20.080
YOUR FAITH,
00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:21.240
AND START DOUBTING
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.110
YOUR DOUBTS, ALRIGHT.
00:19:22.110 --> 00:19:24.210
AND LET'S BELIEVE
00:19:24.210 --> 00:19:25.200
AND START SPEAKING
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.060
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS,
00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:29.020
RATHER, WHAT THE CHURCH NEEDS
00:19:29.020 --> 00:19:30.280
AND THE WORLD NEEDS.
00:19:30.280 --> 00:19:32.080
BUT ESPECIALLY THE CHURCH.
00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:34.250
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS.
00:19:34.250 --> 00:19:36.010
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
00:19:36.010 --> 00:19:37.070
A HUNGER AND A THIRST
00:19:37.070 --> 00:19:39.050
FOR GOD'S PRESENCE.
00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:42.180
SO ON A WEDNESDAY WHEN
00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:43.220
I WAS SHARING IN THIS CHURCH,
00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:45.130
I SAID, "EVERYONE OF YOU NOW
00:19:45.130 --> 00:19:48.090
NEEDS TO BEGIN TO PROPHESY
00:19:48.090 --> 00:19:50.140
AND DECLARE OVER THE CITY
00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:52.150
AND OVER EVERYONE YOU LOVE,
00:19:52.150 --> 00:19:53.210
HUNGER AND THIRST FOR GOD.
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.240
HUNGER AND THIRST FOR GOD.
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.200
BECAUSE APART FROM BEING HUNGRY
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.080
AND THIRSTY FOR GOD,
00:20:01.080 --> 00:20:02.180
CREATING WHAT I'M CALLING
00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:04.010
A HOLY DESPERATION
00:20:04.010 --> 00:20:06.060
FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:20:06.060 --> 00:20:07.250
THAT WE WON'T HAVE THE REVIVAL
00:20:07.250 --> 00:20:09.180
WE NEED DESPERATELY
00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:10.290
IN THIS NATION.
00:20:10.290 --> 00:20:12.190
I MEAN, SOMEBODY SAYS
00:20:12.190 --> 00:20:13.200
THERE'S NO HOPE
00:20:14.170 --> 00:20:17.170
FOR CERTAIN CITIES
00:20:17.170 --> 00:20:18.100
IN OUR NATION.
00:20:18.100 --> 00:20:19.140
AND I WON'T START CALLING
00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:20.140
THEM OUT, BECAUSE I'LL GET
00:20:20.140 --> 00:20:21.080
LETTERS FROM THEM.
00:20:21.080 --> 00:20:21.290
SO, I, YOU KNOW, I WANT,
00:20:21.290 --> 00:20:24.200
BUT I WANT TO BLESS,
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:26.040
LET ME JUST SAY,
00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:26.190
I WANT TO BLESS CHICAGO.
00:20:26.190 --> 00:20:28.190
A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:20:28.190 --> 00:20:29.090
ARE CRITICIZING CHICAGO
00:20:29.090 --> 00:20:30.090
FOR ALL THE SHOOTINGS
00:20:30.090 --> 00:20:30.250
AND THE CRIME.
00:20:30.250 --> 00:20:31.290
AND I'M GOING TO SAY,
00:20:31.290 --> 00:20:32.170
"WELL I DECLARE CRIME STOPPED
00:20:32.170 --> 00:20:34.000
IN CHICAGO."
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.210
OKAY, HEALING COME.
00:20:35.210 --> 00:20:37.120
CHURCHES WAKE UP.
00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:39.060
YOU KNOW, PRESENCE OF GOD,
00:20:39.060 --> 00:20:40.140
AND START DECLARING A HUNGER
00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:41.290
AND A DESPERATION FOR GOD.
00:20:41.290 --> 00:20:44.030
NOW, THAT'S THE ONLY THING
00:20:44.030 --> 00:20:46.250
THAT WILL BRING
00:20:46.250 --> 00:20:47.220
THE KIND OF REVIVAL
00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:48.150
AND TRANSFORMATION OF CULTURE
00:20:48.150 --> 00:20:51.050
THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED.
00:20:51.050 --> 00:20:53.160
NOW RIGHT NOW,
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:54.070
THE LORD'S OPENING UP MORE
00:20:54.070 --> 00:20:55.130
AND MORE DOORS FOR ME.
00:20:55.130 --> 00:20:56.130
AND WHAT WE CALL THE,
00:20:56.130 --> 00:20:58.100
OF THE SEVEN MOUNTAINS
00:20:58.100 --> 00:20:59.280
OF INFLUENCE AND CULTURE.
00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:02.030
MAJOR CULTURAL INFLUENCERS
00:21:02.030 --> 00:21:04.000
IN OUR SOCIETY,
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.230
THINGS LIKE THE,
00:21:06.230 --> 00:21:07.120
LIKE GOVERNMENT,
00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:08.220
OR EDUCATION, OR RELIGION,
00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:11.010
OR BUSINESS, OR ENTERTAINMENT.
00:21:11.010 --> 00:21:13.260
THE ARTS, MEDIA,
00:21:13.260 --> 00:21:16.220
I THINK THAT GETS THEM.
00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:18.050
BUT IN GOVERNMENT, AND,
00:21:19.100 --> 00:21:22.100
IT'S JUST KIND OF
00:21:22.100 --> 00:21:23.070
BLOWING MY MIND,
00:21:23.070 --> 00:21:24.100
THE DOORS THAT ARE OPENING
00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:25.100
FOR ME TO MINISTER
00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:26.150
TO LEADERS IN THE WORLD.
00:21:27.280 --> 00:21:30.280
AND THERE ARE NOT THINGS
00:21:30.280 --> 00:21:31.230
THAT I CAN PARTICULARLY TALK
00:21:31.230 --> 00:21:32.190
ABOUT BECAUSE THEN IT KIND OF
00:21:32.190 --> 00:21:34.100
JUST RUINS THE CONFIDENTIALITY
00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:37.000
AND THE TRUST.
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.050
SO, UNDERSTAND THIS.
00:21:38.050 --> 00:21:40.260
THE MORE WE PROPHESY
00:21:40.260 --> 00:21:42.050
HUNGER AND THIRST,
00:21:42.050 --> 00:21:43.240
THE MORE THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.030
IS DRAWN.
00:21:46.030 --> 00:21:47.200
OKAY?
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:48.110
THE MORE WE PROPHESY
00:21:48.110 --> 00:21:49.290
HUNGER AND THIRST,
00:21:49.290 --> 00:21:52.030
THE MORE THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:21:52.030 --> 00:21:54.080
IS DRAWN TO A PLACE.
00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:56.080
WHEN I WAS IN MALAYSIA,
00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:57.280
THE PEOPLE WERE SO PASSIONATELY
00:21:57.280 --> 00:21:59.160
HUNGRY FOR GOD'S SPIRIT,
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.120
GOD COULDN'T HELP BUT SHOW UP,
00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:04.020
I THINK.
00:22:04.020 --> 00:22:06.080
HE WAS JUST DRAWN TO THAT.
00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:08.270
BECAUSE THEY WERE SO PASSIONATE
00:22:08.270 --> 00:22:10.110
AND DESPERATE FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:22:10.110 --> 00:22:13.040
SO BECAUSE OF THAT
00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:13.210
PROPHETIC MINISTRY,
00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:14.250
JUST FLOWED LIKE YOU KNOW,
00:22:14.250 --> 00:22:16.170
LIKE NOTHING.
00:22:16.170 --> 00:22:17.150
IT WAS JUST SO EASY.
00:22:17.150 --> 00:22:18.190
PREACHING JUST FLOWED.
00:22:18.190 --> 00:22:21.040
ALTHOUGH I WAS EXHAUSTED
00:22:21.040 --> 00:22:22.140
AND MY BODY CLOCK
00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:23.100
WAS UPSIDE DOWN.
00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:24.070
THEY'RE 13 HOURS AHEAD OF US.
00:22:24.090 --> 00:22:27.090
AND BY THE TIME I BEGAN
00:22:27.090 --> 00:22:28.230
TO GET ADJUSTED,
00:22:28.230 --> 00:22:29.210
IT WAS TIME TO COME BACK.
00:22:29.210 --> 00:22:31.260
AND SO, YOU KNOW, SO THEY SAID,
00:22:31.260 --> 00:22:33.220
"WELL WE'LL FIX THAT.
00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:34.210
NEXT TIME COME FOR TWO WEEKS."
00:22:34.210 --> 00:22:36.070
ALRIGHT.
00:22:36.070 --> 00:22:38.060
AND I'M GRATEFUL TO SAY
00:22:38.150 --> 00:22:41.150
I STEPPED OUT THERE
00:22:41.150 --> 00:22:43.020
AND ATE TURTLE
00:22:43.020 --> 00:22:45.080
WHILE I WAS THERE.
00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:46.280
ANY OF YOU HAD TURTLE?
00:22:46.280 --> 00:22:48.210
YOU'VE HAD TURTLE?
00:22:48.210 --> 00:22:49.220
SOMEBODY SAID, ASKED ME
00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:50.260
IF IT TASTE LIKE CHICKEN.
00:22:50.260 --> 00:22:51.260
I SAID, "NO, IT TASTES
00:22:51.260 --> 00:22:52.170
LIKE TURTLE."
00:22:53.170 --> 00:22:56.170
SO, LISTEN.
00:22:56.170 --> 00:22:58.010
WE HAD A GREAT TIME.
00:22:58.010 --> 00:22:59.030
BUT THE HUNGER AND THIRST
00:22:59.030 --> 00:23:00.110
FOR GOD'S PRESENCE
00:23:00.110 --> 00:23:01.080
IS ALL THAT'S MISSING.
00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:04.220
THAT HOLY DESPERATION.
00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:06.010
AND THEN GETTING AROUND
00:23:06.010 --> 00:23:06.250
OTHER PEOPLE
00:23:06.250 --> 00:23:07.250
THAT ARE HUNGRY AND THIRSTY
00:23:07.250 --> 00:23:08.210
FOR GOD'S PRESENCE.
00:23:08.210 --> 00:23:10.040
I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING,
00:23:10.040 --> 00:23:11.130
BECAUSE THIS IS THE WORD
00:23:11.130 --> 00:23:12.220
OF THE LORD HE GAVE FOR US.
00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:14.020
I WANT YOU TO TURN
00:23:14.020 --> 00:23:14.220
TO PROVERBS 4.
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.240
AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.220
WHAT I THINK
00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:21.060
IS A PHENOMENAL DESCRIPTION
00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:24.140
OF WHAT WE NEED
00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:26.230
FOR THE POWER OF GOD
00:23:26.230 --> 00:23:28.160
TO FLOW CONSISTENTLY
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:30.030
AND REGULARLY IN OUR LIVES.
00:23:30.120 --> 00:23:33.120
THE BOOK OF PROVERBS GIVES,
00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:35.050
I'M NOT SAYING IT'S A FORMULA,
00:23:35.050 --> 00:23:36.210
BUT IT REALLY HELPS US
00:23:36.210 --> 00:23:38.040
WITH A CONDITION
00:23:39.090 --> 00:23:42.090
AND POSITION TO BE IN.
00:23:42.090 --> 00:23:44.260
PROVERBS 4, LET'S START
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.000
WITH VERSE 20, 21, AND 22.
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.240
PROVERBS 4:20-22.
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:54.160
"MY SON, GIVE ATTENTION
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:55.240
TO MY WORDS;"
00:23:56.030 --> 00:23:59.030
SO IT MEANS BASICALLY
00:23:59.030 --> 00:24:00.240
BE ATTENTIVE,
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:02.280
ATTEND TO MY WORDS.
00:24:02.280 --> 00:24:05.100
NOW, IF WE'RE NOT GOING
00:24:05.100 --> 00:24:06.120
TO ATTEND TO THE WORD OF GOD
00:24:06.120 --> 00:24:07.250
AND GIVE THE WORD OF GOD
00:24:07.250 --> 00:24:09.210
A VERY SPECIAL PLACE
00:24:09.210 --> 00:24:10.170
IN OUR LIVES,
00:24:10.170 --> 00:24:11.270
THEN WE'RE NOT GOING
00:24:12.060 --> 00:24:15.060
TO EXPERIENCE
00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:15.270
THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:24:15.270 --> 00:24:16.290
LIKE WE COULD.
00:24:16.290 --> 00:24:18.030
OKAY.
00:24:18.030 --> 00:24:18.250
SO I KNOW A LOT OF US
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:20.080
KNOW THE SCRIPTURE VERY WELL.
00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:21.240
I PRAYED FOR A MAN THAT KNOWS
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:23.050
THE BIBLE VERY WELL,
00:24:23.050 --> 00:24:24.070
BUT IS AN ATHEIST.
00:24:24.070 --> 00:24:26.240
AND AT LEAST
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.070
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD.
00:24:28.070 --> 00:24:29.050
AND DIDN'T WANT PRAYER.
00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:32.180
DIDN'T WANT PRAYER.
00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:33.230
AND THEY CONVINCED HIM,
00:24:33.230 --> 00:24:34.280
"WELL JUST COME TO THE ROOM,
00:24:34.280 --> 00:24:36.180
AND LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:37.230
WE'RE GOING TO GET PASTOR PENA
00:24:37.230 --> 00:24:39.160
TO COME AND JUST BE THERE
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:40.230
WITH YOUR WIFE AND YOUR SON."
00:24:40.230 --> 00:24:42.180
"WELL, I DON'T WANT
00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:43.050
ANYTHING RELIGIOUS."
00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:46.250
"OKAY.
00:24:46.250 --> 00:24:48.020
SO, I'M NOT GOING
00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:48.180
TO BE RELIGIOUS.
00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.250
LET'S JUST ASK GOD,
00:24:49.250 --> 00:24:51.130
YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON."
00:24:51.130 --> 00:24:53.110
SO WE WENT IN THE NEXT ROOM.
00:24:53.110 --> 00:24:54.130
I WAS AT A FORMAL FAMILY,
00:24:54.130 --> 00:24:55.290
A DINNER THAT I WAS AN HONORED
00:24:55.290 --> 00:24:57.070
GUEST AT, TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND.
00:24:57.070 --> 00:24:58.210
IT WAS VERY NICE SETTING.
00:24:58.210 --> 00:25:00.130
AND I MEANT TO SEND PICTURES.
00:25:00.130 --> 00:25:02.200
AND, OH THERE'S THIS
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:03.120
BEAUTIFUL FISH
00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:03.260
THAT HAD LIKE SHARK TEETH
00:25:03.260 --> 00:25:05.200
STICKING OUT, YOU KNOW.
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:06.150
JUST THE WHOLE HEAD
00:25:06.150 --> 00:25:07.060
ON THE TABLE.
00:25:07.060 --> 00:25:07.210
IT WAS JUST GORGEOUS LOOKING.
00:25:07.210 --> 00:25:10.040
I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU NEXT TIME.
00:25:10.040 --> 00:25:11.110
SO ANYWAY, MY WIFE'S SAYING,
00:25:11.110 --> 00:25:13.060
"NO, DON'T SHOW IT TO US."
00:25:13.060 --> 00:25:15.170
SHE'S SEEN IT ALREADY.
00:25:15.170 --> 00:25:17.070
SO I SAID, SO WE WALKED IN,
00:25:17.070 --> 00:25:18.260
AND I SAID, "WELL, PRAISE GOD.
00:25:18.260 --> 00:25:20.210
THE LORD LOVED YOU SO MUCH,
00:25:20.210 --> 00:25:22.110
YOUR BUSINESS
00:25:22.110 --> 00:25:22.260
IS GOING TO EXPAND."
00:25:22.260 --> 00:25:23.250
AND I BEGAN TO PROPHECY
00:25:23.250 --> 00:25:25.020
OVER HIS BUSINESS,
00:25:25.020 --> 00:25:25.290
AND THIS, AND OVER HIS SON,
00:25:25.290 --> 00:25:27.020
SEVERAL THINGS OVER HIS SON.
00:25:27.020 --> 00:25:28.090
AND THE BUSINESS AND YOU KNOW,
00:25:28.090 --> 00:25:30.200
I KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT HIM.
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.170
AND I SAID, "AND SO,
00:25:32.170 --> 00:25:34.180
GOD BLESS YOU."
00:25:34.230 --> 00:25:37.230
IT WASN'T RELIGIOUS.
00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:40.090
IT WAS DECLARATIVE, OKAY.
00:25:40.110 --> 00:25:43.110
I JUST DECLARED WHAT I HEARD
00:25:43.110 --> 00:25:44.210
THE LORD SAY OVER THEM,
00:25:44.210 --> 00:25:46.240
AND I WALKED OUT.
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.130
HE CAME BACK
00:25:48.130 --> 00:25:49.000
INTO THE OTHER ROOM,
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:50.030
AND HE SAID, "PASTOR,
00:25:50.030 --> 00:25:52.260
HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING
00:25:52.260 --> 00:25:53.160
TO BE HERE?"
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.260
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
00:25:55.260 --> 00:25:56.170
DIFFERENT ATTITUDE.
00:25:56.170 --> 00:25:57.200
BECAUSE WHEN HE FIRST
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:58.150
APPROACHED ME,
00:25:58.150 --> 00:25:59.040
HE STARTED SAYING
00:25:59.040 --> 00:25:59.230
ALL THESE THINGS
00:25:59.230 --> 00:26:00.120
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP.
00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:01.210
YOU KNOW, AND I JUST SMILED
00:26:01.210 --> 00:26:02.150
AND SAID, "WHO KNOWS?"
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.000
HE'S TRYING TO ENGAGE ME,
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:06.230
YOU KNOW, AND I JUST,
00:26:06.230 --> 00:26:09.190
I DON'T KNOW.
00:26:09.190 --> 00:26:10.230
WE'LL SEE.
00:26:10.230 --> 00:26:12.060
NOW HE CAME TO ME AND SAID,
00:26:12.060 --> 00:26:13.070
"HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING
00:26:13.070 --> 00:26:13.250
TO BE HERE?"
00:26:13.250 --> 00:26:14.180
I SAID, "I'M LEAVING TOMORROW."
00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:16.040
"OH.
00:26:16.040 --> 00:26:17.140
WE NEED YOU HERE."
00:26:18.070 --> 00:26:21.070
"WELL, MAYBE I'LL COME BACK.
00:26:21.070 --> 00:26:23.200
NEVER KNOW."
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:25.050
BUT IT WAS AMAZING.
00:26:25.050 --> 00:26:26.010
HERE'S THE POINT.
00:26:26.010 --> 00:26:27.210
HOW THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.240
CAME INTO THE ROOM,
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.080
SHIFTED THE ATMOSPHERE
00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:34.010
AND A HEART SOFTENED.
00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:37.040
NOW YOU KNOW PEOPLE
00:26:37.040 --> 00:26:37.250
THAT HAVE HARD HEARTS.
00:26:37.250 --> 00:26:39.170
AND WE CAN BEGIN TO DECLARE
00:26:39.170 --> 00:26:41.020
AND PROPHECY OVER THEM,
00:26:41.020 --> 00:26:42.140
THAT A HEART OF STONE IS REMOVED
00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:44.010
AND A HEART OF FLESH COMES IN.
00:26:44.010 --> 00:26:46.090
SOME OF US LISTENING RIGHT NOW
00:26:46.090 --> 00:26:47.260
MAY NEED TO SAY
00:26:47.260 --> 00:26:48.220
THAT OVER YOURSELF.
00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:49.230
LORD, TAKE MY HEART OF STONE OUT
00:26:49.230 --> 00:26:51.200
AND PUT A TENDER HEART THERE,
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:52.290
A HEART OF FLESH, INSTEAD.
00:26:52.290 --> 00:26:55.120
YOU CAN PROPHESY OVER YOURSELF,
00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:56.250
DID YOU KNOW?
00:26:56.250 --> 00:26:59.060
DAVID SAID,
00:26:59.060 --> 00:26:59.150
"BLESS THE LORD, ALL MY SOUL,
00:26:59.150 --> 00:27:01.140
AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME,
00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:02.210
BLESS HIS HOLY NAME."
00:27:02.210 --> 00:27:04.210
HE COMMANDED HIMSELF
00:27:04.210 --> 00:27:05.230
TO BLESS THE LORD,
00:27:05.230 --> 00:27:07.230
- AND AFTER NIGHT
00:27:23.170 --> 00:27:26.170
