  • Female announcer: coming up on "the potter's touch."
  • 00:00:11.227 --> 00:00:13.463
  • Tudor bismark: this wealth transfer belongs to you.

  • As you settle in the land that god has promised you, i'm
  • 00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:24.174
  • Telling you, as sure enough as i'm tudor bismark from zimbabwe,
  • 00:00:24.174 --> 00:00:28.945
  • A door is opening wide here for a massive wealth transfer.
  • 00:00:28.945 --> 00:00:37.520
  • Jericho had no preacher, but someone's about to preach to
  • 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:42.725
  • Jericho to regurgitate what is yours.
  • 00:00:42.725 --> 00:00:47.197
  • Give him a praise.
  • 00:00:47.197 --> 00:00:49.265
  • ♪ oh, "the potter's touch," "the potter's touch." ♪♪
  • 00:00:49.265 --> 00:00:56.973
  • Tudor: joshua, as you know, is jehovah, has become
  • 00:00:56.973 --> 00:01:03.313
  • My salvation.
  • 00:01:03.313 --> 00:01:06.683
  • And jesus is yeshua, which is joshua, also meaning jehovah,
  • 00:01:06.683 --> 00:01:15.125
  • Has become my salvation.
  • 00:01:15.125 --> 00:01:18.628
  • And at any given moment, for whatever situation you might be
  • 00:01:18.628 --> 00:01:23.032
  • In, whether large or small, insignificant, cataclysmic, or
  • 00:01:23.032 --> 00:01:29.372
  • Catastrophic, salvation is necessary.
  • 00:01:29.372 --> 00:01:34.410
  • And so jericho, then, is representative of some of our
  • 00:01:34.410 --> 00:01:41.684
  • Calamities we face as we go to what god has promised, so
  • 00:01:41.684 --> 00:01:48.358
  • Jericho is an enigma.
  • 00:01:48.358 --> 00:01:51.661
  • It represents our greatest challenge and also our
  • 00:01:51.661 --> 00:01:57.300
  • Greatest victory.
  • 00:01:57.300 --> 00:02:00.803
  • Jericho is an enigma because this city deals with every facet
  • 00:02:00.803 --> 00:02:07.977
  • Of human expression when we are about to enter any realm
  • 00:02:07.977 --> 00:02:15.251
  • Of success.
  • 00:02:15.251 --> 00:02:18.288
  • The valiant leadership in an individual becomes absolutely
  • 00:02:18.288 --> 00:02:26.763
  • Necessary and vital.
  • 00:02:26.763 --> 00:02:28.831
  • The single component you need here is courage.
  • 00:02:28.831 --> 00:02:34.971
  • You need courage, not even faith, because it's been given
  • 00:02:34.971 --> 00:02:40.076
  • To you.
  • 00:02:40.076 --> 00:02:41.411
  • You need courage because of what you are about to see.
  • 00:02:41.411 --> 00:02:47.183
  • The majestic walls of jericho are so masterfully constructed
  • 00:02:50.153 --> 00:02:58.461
  • And built.
  • 00:02:58.461 --> 00:03:00.029
  • They were so spectacular and jaw-dropping due to its
  • 00:03:00.029 --> 00:03:04.934
  • Engineering, which many of the jews traveling through the
  • 00:03:04.934 --> 00:03:08.571
  • Wilderness had never seen.
  • 00:03:08.571 --> 00:03:11.774
  • And bishop jakes did a lot of the groundwork for me, thank you
  • 00:03:11.774 --> 00:03:14.777
  • So much, i owe you some money.
  • 00:03:14.777 --> 00:03:18.915
  • Yet the majestic walls, seemingly to be impenetrable,
  • 00:03:18.915 --> 00:03:25.421
  • Had earth foundations.
  • 00:03:25.421 --> 00:03:29.425
  • They had weak ideological stances, they had insipid
  • 00:03:29.425 --> 00:03:36.132
  • Philosophical positions, and baseless spirituality.
  • 00:03:36.132 --> 00:03:42.805
  • It was extremely shallow.
  • 00:03:42.805 --> 00:03:45.541
  • And so their high posture was just a pedantic posture with
  • 00:03:45.541 --> 00:03:52.915
  • No substance.
  • 00:03:52.915 --> 00:03:55.051
  • Israel, on the other hand, seemed dwarfed, yet their spirit
  • 00:03:55.051 --> 00:04:02.025
  • Had been raised by faith.
  • 00:04:02.025 --> 00:04:04.794
  • A generation had not inherited the promise because they had
  • 00:04:04.794 --> 00:04:11.200
  • Received the word, but couldn't enter in because they didn't mix
  • 00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:17.073
  • It with faith.
  • 00:04:17.073 --> 00:04:19.609
  • But this is another generation that has had the experience, and
  • 00:04:19.609 --> 00:04:26.683
  • Now they are mixing this with faith.
  • 00:04:26.683 --> 00:04:30.053
  • Because without faith, it is impossible to please god.
  • 00:04:30.053 --> 00:04:38.528
  • And so jericho, then, is a metaphor of our
  • 00:04:38.528 --> 00:04:43.299
  • Individual translations.
  • 00:04:43.299 --> 00:04:45.868
  • It's not the wilderness, it is not entirely the promised land,
  • 00:04:45.868 --> 00:04:51.874
  • And it definitely is not egypt.
  • 00:04:51.874 --> 00:04:54.377
  • It represents a partial victory.
  • 00:04:54.377 --> 00:04:59.382
  • Jericho secures two great statesmen of faith who are of
  • 00:04:59.382 --> 00:05:06.255
  • A different spirit.
  • 00:05:06.255 --> 00:05:08.157
  • They are embraced because of their belief and their
  • 00:05:08.157 --> 00:05:12.762
  • Confidence in god, not just the optimism, but their claim that
  • 00:05:12.762 --> 00:05:20.803
  • God was able to deliver all of his promise in a week.
  • 00:05:20.803 --> 00:05:27.744
  • And god honored that and suspended the aging process,
  • 00:05:27.744 --> 00:05:34.283
  • That after 40 years, caleb said, "i'm 85 years old, but i'm still
  • 00:05:34.283 --> 00:05:41.023
  • 40 in my body."
  • 00:05:41.023 --> 00:05:43.926
  • God will suspend the aging process in your life so that the
  • 00:05:43.926 --> 00:05:49.799
  • Promise he gave you decades ago, you will not be in a wheelchair
  • 00:05:49.799 --> 00:05:56.672
  • And have someone else enjoy what you believed for.
  • 00:05:56.672 --> 00:06:02.812
  • Shout, "it belongs to me."
  • 00:06:04.847 --> 00:06:08.017
  • And so jericho then stands stoic because it boasts of its
  • 00:06:08.017 --> 00:06:17.527
  • Impenetrability and its impervious structure.
  • 00:06:17.527 --> 00:06:22.432
  • It had not been tested by a nation like israel.
  • 00:06:22.432 --> 00:06:27.370
  • Jericho is arrogant because of its incredible architectural and
  • 00:06:27.370 --> 00:06:34.911
  • Engineering achievements.
  • 00:06:34.911 --> 00:06:37.113
  • Number three, jericho is a structure, it is a system, it is
  • 00:06:37.113 --> 00:06:43.853
  • An organized layer, a collage of events with an endless tundrum
  • 00:06:43.853 --> 00:06:51.561
  • Of ideas, concepts, thoughts in open display.
  • 00:06:51.561 --> 00:06:58.935
  • Jericho has layered systematic physical stone walls, and these
  • 00:06:58.935 --> 00:07:06.375
  • Layered stone walls, each stone complimenting each other and
  • 00:07:06.375 --> 00:07:13.449
  • Committing one to another, "we will not be moved.
  • 00:07:13.449 --> 00:07:19.555
  • We will hold our rank in any event of an invasion."
  • 00:07:19.555 --> 00:07:26.062
  • These physical structures represented the spiritual
  • 00:07:26.062 --> 00:07:31.868
  • Hierarchy above jericho, that we know god has delivered israel
  • 00:07:31.868 --> 00:07:39.308
  • Out of the hand of pharaoh and various kings like og.
  • 00:07:39.308 --> 00:07:44.647
  • But jericho, we are a different animal, they have not faced this
  • 00:07:44.647 --> 00:07:50.486
  • Kind of an opposition.
  • 00:07:50.486 --> 00:07:52.722
  • And so we will not be intimidated at all.
  • 00:07:52.722 --> 00:07:57.393
  • Number five, jericho's stone layer and walls were independent
  • 00:07:57.393 --> 00:08:04.967
  • Of any city.
  • 00:08:04.967 --> 00:08:06.569
  • They were a standalone kingdom that others were dependent on.
  • 00:08:06.569 --> 00:08:12.041
  • Jericho was defiant because it had emerged and evolved into an
  • 00:08:12.041 --> 00:08:17.513
  • Industrial, manufacturing, and commercial hub.
  • 00:08:17.513 --> 00:08:22.151
  • It had become a switzerland of the area, a place in which money
  • 00:08:22.151 --> 00:08:28.758
  • Was exchanged on a massive scale.
  • 00:08:28.758 --> 00:08:32.295
  • Whatever you needed, from a 747 to a cargo ship to a train of
  • 00:08:32.295 --> 00:08:38.834
  • Camels to bunches of dates to all kinds of trade, you could
  • 00:08:38.834 --> 00:08:45.141
  • Find it in jericho, anytime, anywhere, from almost anybody.
  • 00:08:45.141 --> 00:08:51.948
  • Thus, they were so arrogant.
  • 00:08:51.948 --> 00:08:55.585
  • So god had to raise elements to preach to jericho because there
  • 00:08:55.585 --> 00:09:03.159
  • Was no one in jericho to preach that god has an agenda.
  • 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.699
  • So the first thing god is going to use, he's going to speak to
  • 00:09:09.699 --> 00:09:13.836
  • The rocks.
  • 00:09:13.836 --> 00:09:15.504
  • When you hear a shout, you will worship
  • 00:09:15.504 --> 00:09:20.876
  • And bow down.
  • 00:09:20.876 --> 00:09:22.912
  • And so when you hear that shout and you bow down,
  • 00:09:22.912 --> 00:09:26.749
  • You go down.
  • 00:09:26.749 --> 00:09:29.251
  • So the rocks were waiting for the shout.
  • 00:09:29.251 --> 00:09:35.157
  • Israel were living stones, these were dead stones waiting for
  • 00:09:39.328 --> 00:09:47.603
  • Expression.
  • 00:09:47.603 --> 00:09:50.272
  • Please help me, holy ghost.
  • 00:09:50.272 --> 00:09:52.575
  • And so when the people were queued to shout--remember, the
  • 00:09:52.575 --> 00:09:58.648
  • Manna had ceased when they crossed jordan.
  • 00:09:58.648 --> 00:10:02.818
  • But what had not ceased was the cloud by day and the fire
  • 00:10:02.818 --> 00:10:07.857
  • By night.
  • 00:10:07.857 --> 00:10:09.225
  • So for the first six days, the people in jericho only heard
  • 00:10:09.225 --> 00:10:14.764
  • Them marching but couldn't see them because of the mist.
  • 00:10:14.764 --> 00:10:19.969
  • The mist was hiding the strategy.
  • 00:10:19.969 --> 00:10:24.473
  • The devil knows you're there, but he can't touch you because
  • 00:10:28.177 --> 00:10:32.982
  • The mist of god is keeping your strategy hidden.
  • 00:10:32.982 --> 00:10:39.989
  • Shout to somebody and say, "he's got you baby.
  • 00:10:39.989 --> 00:10:42.725
  • He's got you, he's got you, he's got you."
  • 00:10:42.725 --> 00:10:45.594
  • Amen.
  • 00:10:45.594 --> 00:10:46.929
  • The enemy can't figure out, "do they have spears?
  • 00:10:46.929 --> 00:10:49.999
  • Do they have swords?
  • 00:10:49.999 --> 00:10:51.667
  • Do they have shields?"
  • 00:10:51.667 --> 00:10:53.369
  • They just see this mist and they hear the sound for six days.
  • 00:10:53.369 --> 00:10:59.108
  • And they're going crazy, they're losing their minds.
  • 00:10:59.108 --> 00:11:03.746
  • They can't sleep in the day and sure enough they're not sleeping
  • 00:11:03.746 --> 00:11:08.350
  • At night because they see this massive fire shining all over
  • 00:11:08.350 --> 00:11:14.857
  • A camp.
  • 00:11:14.857 --> 00:11:16.225
  • And israel is just eating up the corn, having fun, knowing that
  • 00:11:16.225 --> 00:11:21.197
  • The seventh day is on the way, and everything that we have
  • 00:11:21.197 --> 00:11:26.268
  • Believed for, for five hundred years, which are ten jubilees--
  • 00:11:26.268 --> 00:11:33.409
  • The ten jubilees are about to be fulfilled on the seventh day,
  • 00:11:33.409 --> 00:11:39.215
  • And it's all going to be ours.
  • 00:11:39.215 --> 00:11:43.719
  • Give someone a first bump and say, "it's all coming to you."
  • 00:11:43.719 --> 00:11:49.458
  • Oh, help me, holy ghost.
  • 00:11:49.458 --> 00:11:53.529
  • Male announcer: throughout the ages, history reveals a timeless
  • 00:11:57.733 --> 00:12:02.071
  • Truth: that the torch of leadership not only blazes
  • 00:12:02.071 --> 00:12:09.745
  • Trails, but lights the path for those who follow.
  • 00:12:09.745 --> 00:12:18.554
  • Every era has its torch bearers who inspire, innovate, and
  • 00:12:22.691 --> 00:12:27.129
  • Take risks.
  • 00:12:27.129 --> 00:12:29.832
  • And when the moment calls for the changing of the guard, a new
  • 00:12:29.832 --> 00:12:34.270
  • Dawn rises, and the flame multiplies.
  • 00:12:34.270 --> 00:12:41.243
  • This is the international leadership summit, a place where
  • 00:12:41.243 --> 00:12:45.581
  • Leaders from all walks are equipped to shape the future.
  • 00:12:45.581 --> 00:12:52.021
  • Will your legacy light the way?

  • 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.297
  • Tudor: help me, holy ghost.
  • 00:13:01.297 --> 00:13:02.965
  • And so joshua said to the people, "this is corporate."
  • 00:13:07.102 --> 00:13:13.342
  • Psalm 66--67 says, "let the people praise thee, o god; let
  • 00:13:13.342 --> 00:13:22.051
  • All the people praise thee.
  • 00:13:22.051 --> 00:13:25.387
  • Let the people praise thee, o god; let all the people
  • 00:13:25.387 --> 00:13:30.192
  • Praise thee.
  • 00:13:30.192 --> 00:13:31.527
  • Then shall the earth yield its increase."
  • 00:13:31.527 --> 00:13:37.600
  • And so i don't care if you are sick, lame, tired, haven't
  • 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.906
  • Slept, had a bad night, the seventh shout is corporate.
  • 00:13:43.906 --> 00:13:50.446
  • It's a shout of triumph because the city has to yield
  • 00:13:50.446 --> 00:13:58.754
  • Everything that it has ever garnered.
  • 00:13:58.754 --> 00:14:03.058
  • It's been reserved for you.
  • 00:14:03.058 --> 00:14:06.962
  • This is going to be the second major wealth transfer that you
  • 00:14:06.962 --> 00:14:12.635
  • Will experience.
  • 00:14:12.635 --> 00:14:14.003
  • The first one was on your mother, your father,
  • 00:14:14.003 --> 00:14:17.239
  • Your grandfather.
  • 00:14:17.239 --> 00:14:18.807
  • You heard about that wealth transfer, but this wealth
  • 00:14:18.807 --> 00:14:22.745
  • Transfer belongs to you.
  • 00:14:22.745 --> 00:14:25.948
  • As you settle in the land that god has promised you, i'm
  • 00:14:25.948 --> 00:14:32.655
  • Telling you, as sure enough as i'm tudor bismark from zimbabwe,
  • 00:14:32.655 --> 00:14:37.393
  • A door is opening wide here for a massive wealth transfer.
  • 00:14:37.393 --> 00:14:45.968
  • Jericho had no preacher, but someone's about to preach to
  • 00:14:45.968 --> 00:14:51.140
  • Jericho to regurgitate what is yours.
  • 00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:55.678
  • Give him a praise, come on.
  • 00:14:55.678 --> 00:15:05.921
  • And so when god cannot find a preacher, he found a witness,
  • 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:19.501
  • A most unlikely individual by the name of rahab.
  • 00:15:19.501 --> 00:15:25.574
  • She was a witness, and the reason she was a witness, she
  • 00:15:25.574 --> 00:15:31.547
  • Had something inside of her that she didn't know was there, the
  • 00:15:31.547 --> 00:15:37.720
  • Enemy didn't know was there, joshua, caleb, and the jews
  • 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.692
  • Didn't know was there.
  • 00:15:43.692 --> 00:15:45.961
  • And the reason she had her occupation is because she was
  • 00:15:45.961 --> 00:15:50.699
  • Experimenting, knowing that something was there, and if she
  • 00:15:50.699 --> 00:15:55.571
  • Would get pregnant, what was there would manifest.
  • 00:15:55.571 --> 00:16:00.275
  • But jesus was so deep inside of rahab, it was gonna take off
  • 00:16:00.275 --> 00:16:09.885
  • Inside of her.
  • 00:16:09.885 --> 00:16:11.253
  • That's why they save jesus inside of her.
  • 00:16:11.253 --> 00:16:16.191
  • That's why they said, "we've got to get her out.
  • 00:16:16.191 --> 00:16:20.295
  • She has a message for the world.
  • 00:16:20.295 --> 00:16:23.032
  • We don't know what it is, we don't know what it sounds like,
  • 00:16:23.032 --> 00:16:27.469
  • We don't know what it means, but we gotta save that girl because
  • 00:16:27.469 --> 00:16:32.841
  • She's carrying a savior we don't even understand.
  • 00:16:32.841 --> 00:16:40.149
  • She has a treasure in an earthen vessel.
  • 00:16:40.149 --> 00:16:44.119
  • There's a glory about this girl.
  • 00:16:44.119 --> 00:16:46.755
  • We have got to get her out."
  • 00:16:46.755 --> 00:16:54.129
  • And so she is forced to witness and make herself a preacher.
  • 00:16:58.300 --> 00:17:05.941
  • Remember, jericho had no preacher.
  • 00:17:05.941 --> 00:17:10.779
  • But god promoted her to be a witness.
  • 00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:15.250
  • And so a preacher, then, is one who declares good news.
  • 00:17:15.250 --> 00:17:22.491
  • Gospel is the good news of the kingdom.
  • 00:17:22.491 --> 00:17:27.029
  • The gospel is declaring the kingdom of god has arrived.
  • 00:17:27.029 --> 00:17:32.835
  • It declares that heaven's system is manifesting and heaven's way
  • 00:17:32.835 --> 00:17:40.476
  • Is taking root, "thy will be done in earth as it is
  • 00:17:40.476 --> 00:17:47.449
  • In heaven."
  • 00:17:47.449 --> 00:17:48.817
  • So preaching, then, proclaims a new government with new laws.
  • 00:17:48.817 --> 00:17:56.125
  • Preaching destroys old curses, announces and releases
  • 00:17:56.125 --> 00:18:03.465
  • New blessings.
  • 00:18:03.465 --> 00:18:05.267
  • Preaching sets the standard for what is to be established first,
  • 00:18:05.267 --> 00:18:11.907
  • And everything after you preach follows--peter must follow in
  • 00:18:11.907 --> 00:18:17.279
  • The line of what you have said because you have set the tone.
  • 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:22.851
  • Preaching creates an opportunity for those whose hearts cannot
  • 00:18:22.851 --> 00:18:29.224
  • Be touched.
  • 00:18:29.224 --> 00:18:30.592
  • A person cannot be saved without preaching.
  • 00:18:30.592 --> 00:18:35.397
  • A preacher cannot preach unless they are sent, and once you are
  • 00:18:35.397 --> 00:18:43.238
  • Sent as a preacher, there are standards that have to
  • 00:18:43.238 --> 00:18:48.477
  • Be upheld.
  • 00:18:48.477 --> 00:18:50.546
  • Anybody can witness and testify of what they see around, but
  • 00:18:50.546 --> 00:18:56.084
  • When you talk about a preacher, we're talking about
  • 00:18:56.084 --> 00:18:59.955
  • Something else.
  • 00:18:59.955 --> 00:19:01.323
  • Jericho, you have a witness, but jericho, you need a preacher.
  • 00:19:01.323 --> 00:19:08.564
  • Put your hands together while i find a breath.
  • 00:19:08.564 --> 00:19:12.868
  • And so there is a preacher in every apostle.
  • 00:19:16.838 --> 00:19:21.176
  • There is a preacher in every prophet, there's a preacher
  • 00:19:21.176 --> 00:19:25.447
  • In every evangelist, pastor, and teacher.
  • 00:19:25.447 --> 00:19:29.418
  • There is a preacher in a mentor, a guide, a carpenter, a plumber,
  • 00:19:29.418 --> 00:19:32.988
  • An electrician.
  • 00:19:32.988 --> 00:19:34.456
  • There's a preacher in an architect, an engineer, a
  • 00:19:34.456 --> 00:19:36.825
  • Quantity surveyor, a mailman, a doctor, a lawyer, entrepreneur,
  • 00:19:36.825 --> 00:19:40.162
  • Interior director, movie producer, scriptwriter, a pilot,
  • 00:19:40.162 --> 00:19:43.265
  • A father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a follower, an usher,
  • 00:19:43.265 --> 00:19:45.734
  • A parking marshal.
  • 00:19:45.734 --> 00:19:47.069
  • There's a preacher in a tree, there's a preacher in a frog,
  • 00:19:47.069 --> 00:19:49.938
  • There's a preacher in a speaker, there's a preacher in a carpet,
  • 00:19:49.938 --> 00:19:52.975
  • There's a preacher in a building.
  • 00:19:52.975 --> 00:19:55.010
  • Everything that you're looking at at any given moment is
  • 00:19:55.010 --> 00:19:58.847
  • Preaching to you.
  • 00:19:58.847 --> 00:20:00.649
  • Sometimes it's loud that demands you change, sometimes it's
  • 00:20:00.649 --> 00:20:06.121
  • A gentle voice that you slow down and listen.
  • 00:20:06.121 --> 00:20:09.758
  • But preaching is something, if you'll take the time, you will
  • 00:20:09.758 --> 00:20:13.595
  • Hear every day.
  • 00:20:13.595 --> 00:20:15.998
  • And so for the preacher then, the question is--yeah, 2 kings
  • 00:20:15.998 --> 00:20:23.505
  • Chapter 3, and verse 12--i take my time just a little as i build
  • 00:20:23.505 --> 00:20:28.010
  • My case--2 kings 3, verse 12, in the middle of a battle,
  • 00:20:28.010 --> 00:20:34.349
  • Jehoshaphat said, "i need a word from the lord.
  • 00:20:34.349 --> 00:20:40.155
  • I'm not going into this battle without a word from the lord."
  • 00:20:40.155 --> 00:20:45.560
  • And so somebody said, "we have a prophet.
  • 00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:49.264
  • He doesn't give us good words.
  • 00:20:49.264 --> 00:20:51.433
  • His name is elisha."
  • 00:20:51.433 --> 00:20:53.568
  • So look at 2 kings 3, verse 12, and jehoshaphat said, "the word
  • 00:20:53.568 --> 00:21:00.242
  • Of the lord is with him."
  • 00:21:00.242 --> 00:21:04.112
  • And so the king of israel, jehoshaphat, and the king of
  • 00:21:04.112 --> 00:21:08.617
  • Edom went down to get the word of the lord.
  • 00:21:08.617 --> 00:21:13.889
  • Elisha said, "i have the word of the lord, but i need a minstrel.
  • 00:21:13.889 --> 00:21:21.863
  • I need someone that can play to get the juices of prophetic
  • 00:21:21.863 --> 00:21:28.036
  • Gifting to move."
  • 00:21:28.036 --> 00:21:30.305
  • The minstrel said, "i can play, but i need an instrument in
  • 00:21:30.305 --> 00:21:37.112
  • Which i can play."
  • 00:21:37.112 --> 00:21:38.680
  • The instrument said, "i can be available, but i need someone
  • 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:43.952
  • With skill that can make an instrument that is so key that
  • 00:21:43.952 --> 00:21:50.559
  • It can play middle a without any problem at all in the middle of
  • 00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:56.331
  • The desert."
  • 00:21:56.331 --> 00:21:57.666
  • The instrument said, "i need certain materials that can only
  • 00:21:57.666 --> 00:22:02.571
  • Come from certain trees--certain trees can only be planted by
  • 00:22:02.571 --> 00:22:08.744
  • Certain people."
  • 00:22:08.744 --> 00:22:10.078
  • So for one word, you have eight or nine entities preaching to
  • 00:22:10.078 --> 00:22:15.617
  • Each other just to get a word for one battle.
  • 00:22:15.617 --> 00:22:20.389
  • And so sisters and brothers, for this conference, there's been
  • 00:22:20.389 --> 00:22:24.993
  • Preaching going on for the last two years if you would dare
  • 00:22:24.993 --> 00:22:29.931
  • To listen.
  • 00:22:29.931 --> 00:22:31.366
  • God is up to something major here, and what has been preached
  • 00:22:31.366 --> 00:22:37.539
  • Will be fulfilled in your life.
  • 00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:41.676
  • Can i go a little deeper?
  • 00:22:41.676 --> 00:22:44.413
  • In jeremiah chapter 37 and verse 17, in the fourth administration
  • 00:22:44.413 --> 00:22:51.787
  • Of jeremiah's imprisonment, zedekiah sent for jeremiah and
  • 00:22:51.787 --> 00:22:58.126
  • Took him out of prison.
  • 00:22:58.126 --> 00:22:59.795
  • And in verse 17, he brought him out secretly and privately and
  • 00:22:59.795 --> 00:23:05.867
  • Asked him a question, "is there any word from the lord?"
  • 00:23:05.867 --> 00:23:13.975
  • And he said, "there is."
  • 00:23:13.975 --> 00:23:17.045
  • For 2023, 2024, and beyond, we need men and women who have
  • 00:23:17.045 --> 00:23:25.086
  • A word from the lord.
  • 00:23:25.086 --> 00:23:27.889
  • There's too much confusion, there's too much killing,
  • 00:23:27.889 --> 00:23:32.127
  • There's too much division.
  • 00:23:32.127 --> 00:23:34.396
  • Somalia needs help, zimbabwe is going into an election.
  • 00:23:34.396 --> 00:23:39.668
  • Our money has gone crazy.
  • 00:23:39.668 --> 00:23:41.970
  • Madagascar is collapsing, china is going nuts.
  • 00:23:41.970 --> 00:23:46.842
  • We're not sure what's happening in parts of asia and europe and
  • 00:23:46.842 --> 00:23:52.414
  • The ukraine.
  • 00:23:52.414 --> 00:23:53.748
  • We have got to have a word from the lord.
  • 00:23:53.748 --> 00:23:56.885
  • Not pulpiteering, we need a word from the lord that can shake the
  • 00:23:56.885 --> 00:24:03.258
  • Foundation of jerichos all over our nations.
  • 00:24:03.258 --> 00:24:08.263
  • Jericho, you've got to be brought to attention.
  • 00:24:08.263 --> 00:24:11.766
  • You've been too prideful, too arrogant.
  • 00:24:11.766 --> 00:24:14.936
  • You've stood up stoic and stated your position without
  • 00:24:14.936 --> 00:24:19.741
  • Any apology.
  • 00:24:19.741 --> 00:24:21.443
  • But it's time now for this joshua group to stand up and
  • 00:24:21.443 --> 00:24:26.982
  • Say, "we are taking what god has put into our hands."
  • 00:24:26.982 --> 00:24:33.722
  • I'm willing to be the preacher for jericho.
  • 00:24:33.722 --> 00:24:38.960
  • Give someone a high five, i'm saying, "i'm your man, i'm your
  • 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:43.098
  • Woman, i'll preach to jericho."
  • 00:24:43.098 --> 00:24:46.401
  • And so the preacher then, before you preach to jericho,
  • 00:24:50.572 --> 00:24:55.844
  • The preacher must preach christ.
  • 00:24:55.844 --> 00:24:58.713
  • You can't have a church service without mentioning jesus.
  • 00:25:02.017 --> 00:25:08.423
  • How dare we remove the builder of the church, the holy spirit,
  • 00:25:08.423 --> 00:25:14.629
  • Out of the church?
  • 00:25:14.629 --> 00:25:15.964
  • "i will send you a helper, the paraclete, who will lead you."
  • 00:25:15.964 --> 00:25:21.236
  • How can we take the holy spirit out of the church?
  • 00:25:21.236 --> 00:25:25.273
  • How can we remove speaking with other tongues?
  • 00:25:25.273 --> 00:25:28.843
  • How can we push gifts of the spirit aside?
  • 00:25:28.843 --> 00:25:32.514
  • How can we neglect miracle signs and wonders?
  • 00:25:32.514 --> 00:25:36.885
  • "and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name."
  • 00:25:36.885 --> 00:25:44.893
  • I pronounce, "jericho, get ready for a radical series of
  • 00:25:44.893 --> 00:25:50.565
  • Miracles, revival, outbreaks of the holy spirit that are
  • 00:25:50.565 --> 00:25:56.237
  • Totally outrageous."
  • 00:25:56.237 --> 00:26:00.575
  • If you're hungry for that, give god a jericho shout.
  • 00:26:00.575 --> 00:26:04.646
  • Bishop t.d. jakes: good soil is us building us.
