Get ready to be inspired, encouraged and equipped as 6 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:53,280 we journey through the rich tapestry of Dr. Klemenov's preaching. 7 00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:04,360 We're going tonight on Breaking Through the Barrier. We are human beings of this earth, 8 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:15,920 earthly. We live in this terra firma, in this terrestrial realm. We have humus, humus, humans. 9 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,280 We have a physical body of flesh and bones and literally every part of your body when 10 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:29,400 it goes to the ground returns to the dust. It's all particles of that. God is spirit. 11 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:40,080 God is celestial. God is eternal. As real as we are. Now how can we break through this 12 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:47,520 barrier between ourselves and God? Tonight and those who visit us, we don't have that 13 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:55,440 often just like that. Tonight, just God came down, not created by anything we did, but 14 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:03,240 he came. There were preparations of heart. I know that. But how can we break through 15 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:11,640 this barrier from the natural into the spiritual? How can we break through? One day we will 16 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:16,600 when we die. If we know we're Christians, if we love the Lord, we're going to be with 17 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Christ. Paul said that. That's wonderful. But it's not designed only when we die because 18 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:34,200 eternity is as real as now. But God has designed for us that even today we have the privilege 19 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:41,440 of breaking through. Can you say amen? He has ways and means whereby we can break through 20 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:49,400 into that throne room. The greatest struggle we have is to really enter that presence of 21 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:57,960 God and really touch God and really break from the natural. It's like a scientist that 22 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:05,440 is working through a formula and suddenly he finds the key that unlocks or inventors 23 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,240 who've got great inventions that worked at it for years and suddenly it works. And it's 24 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:19,320 like this with God. Now may I begin to say that not every prayer is answered. Not all 25 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:26,240 prayers reach God. Not all people pray. In India I know they will get into a grotto which 26 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:32,960 is less than the size of their body and breathe there three months, three weeks, three years, 27 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,500 three hours to stay there trying to get God. Or they'll prostrate themselves hour by hour, 28 00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:47,560 day by day on the floor, every inch of the way, trying to get God. And not everybody, 29 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:56,000 not everybody, not every way breaks through with God. Not everything reaches God. The 30 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,800 Bible is very clear in 1 John 5, 14 and 15. It says if we know that he hears us, we know 31 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:11,600 that we have the petition. Once we break through, we have it. Whatever we ask God. And we've 32 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:18,920 got to somewhere break through. So as I begin the subject, I may sound a little bit negative 33 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:25,120 first, but we've got now Godly times answer instant prayers. I know that. 34 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,720 Let me say we used to go in Houston. We are free. We're now at about six or seven lanes 35 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,880 there to the city where we're living in Kingwood where Duncan's living. We lived, it was only 36 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:42,840 two lanes. And I was chairing Benny Hinn's meetings those days and I was going into the 37 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:49,440 meeting with an icy road. It was literally snowing and suddenly just right in front of 38 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:57,160 Elizabeth an accident happened on this June 2 highway. And I've never seen like it. Somehow 39 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,360 that car went, we had a Lincoln Continental. They used to give me one of those every two 40 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,280 weeks to church. Every two weeks, every two years the church did. And it's just as if 41 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:15,320 something went, we went past and went on. Behind us, clang, bang, chatter, everything 42 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:24,600 was crashing. I mean the icy road, and yet as an angel I called it a con. I just couldn't 43 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,560 believe it. God, you see, but we cried out for a moment and God came. Sometimes God will 44 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:39,920 answer instantly. Can you say amen? But there's more to prayer than this. We must somehow 45 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:47,480 be able to break through with God. And you know my prayer life was very strong when I 46 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,280 was young in the ministry. I spent days in prayer. I didn't have those disciplines even 47 00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:58,360 now than I had those days. Now I believe God built the ministry out of that prayer life. 48 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:04,200 I mean literally I'd spend weeks of prayer in the presence of God. And when I started 49 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,320 the ministry I went to Adelaide to help and God put me across the path in my name of Howard 50 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,560 Blatchell when one of those brilliant theologians of this country was asked to become the principal 51 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,200 of the Bible school in Ethiopia, didn't he? But he used to help me for two days a week, 52 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:25,000 to disciple me in those days, build up my understanding of the truths of God. It was 53 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,680 one of the most amazing times I've had in my life. But I think God does that because 54 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:37,680 of what's the way you prepare in the presence of God. Can you say amen? A number of principles 55 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:46,560 about breaking through with God. Number one prayer starts with hope. You must have hope 56 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,520 if we're going to pray. Hope is very important in life. We live with hope. Hope for a better 57 00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:01,400 job. Hope for maybe dreaming about a better car or a boat. Some of us dream, have unusual 58 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,760 dreams. Some of us have you know you hope for a better wife too late. You've got to 59 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:12,720 pray that through and change your life. But you can hope for things. It's one of the great 60 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:18,000 emotions of life. We have hope. Come on, you wouldn't have hope. You wouldn't get very 61 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,520 far. God made us with hope. Can you agree with me? We have this capacity. Now the Bible 62 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:34,000 talks about hope. It says in Hebrews 11 verse 1 that faith is the substance of things hoped 63 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:44,000 for. In other words, faith is nurtured in hope. Faith begins firstly with hope. When 64 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:54,120 talks about Abraham's life, it says who against hope believed in hope. God used that hope 65 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,440 to break through his life. It's a very powerful and the first Corinthians 13 the last verses 66 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:08,000 says now abideth faith, hope and charity or love these three but the greatest of these 67 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:15,800 is love. But there are three things. Faith, what? Hope and love. So it's crucial. It's 68 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:24,920 a crucial part of our life for us to have. Now the greatest for example, the greatest 69 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,680 hope is as Titus 1 says in the hope of eternal life which God that cannot lie promised. We 70 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,320 have hope that one day we're going to be with Jesus. Can you say amen? And it says God which 71 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,880 cannot lie. God said it. God spoke it. That settles it. Amen church. Which God that cannot 72 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,040 lie promised. We have hope in the coming of Christ. We see so many unusual evidences in 73 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,520 this world today, unusual signs. Things are happening around us that are almost horrendous. 74 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,480 Wars are no more fought like they used to be fought. We have wars in the backyard anywhere 75 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,360 in London last few weeks what happened there. And then in Kusadasi just two days ago was 76 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:15,720 it yesterday, another bomb exploded and in a tourist area in Turkey, Kusadasi and in 77 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:23,280 the Ephesus. And it's just seemingly a world of difference of unbelievable terror could 78 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,880 happen here, could happen anywhere. And we just have we trust the Lord. But the world 79 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:36,800 is coming in a most unusual place these days. Thank God for hope. The Bible talks to Christians 80 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,680 in 1 John 3, 3, 3, 3 says looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of 81 00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:47,880 our God and Savior Jesus Christ. So we're looking for him. He had this hope that says 82 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:56,120 that purify themselves. So we have hope. Thank God for that. But there's also that hope that 83 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:04,000 is nurtured to see the fulfillment of what God has promised us. What God wants us to 84 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:13,080 have to experience to know and it starts with hope. For example, the Romans chapter 8, Book 85 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:23,560 of Romans chapter 8, it says verse 24, it says, for you are saved by hope, but hope 86 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:30,280 that is seen is not hope for the man see it was he had hope. So we can't see this is this 87 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,960 is the you know, if I could just make a lovely package out of this whole stuff and physically 88 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:44,360 could see it and say that this is your salvation, just take it. Wouldn't that be easy? But you 89 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:53,120 have to step into a realm called hope. And that hope brings faith and faith brings something 90 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,600 to you or by you know, for example, how many do not know they're saved here? How many know 91 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,720 they're saved? Now that's, you know, what happened? Did you somebody bang you on the 92 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:11,680 head physically? You know, it's a spiritual experience, but it's real. Come on, church. 93 00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:19,200 And it becomes somehow to me my salvation is as real as my wife is to me. It's like 94 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:25,880 a substance to me, whereby I know that I know I belong to Christ. Can somebody agree with 95 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:35,760 me that it starts with hope, you cannot see it, but it's real. Can you say amen? And so 96 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:44,080 prayer breaking through starts with hope. Also prayer and not by praying breaking through 97 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:52,040 the barrier breaking through so that we know we've reached God. True prayer praying the 98 00:11:52,040 --> 00:12:05,640 spirit of prayer has in it force, volume, intensity, passion. In James four, the apostle 99 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:17,760 Paul says, James four, five, five, five, James five, 15. The prayer note says the effectual 100 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:25,480 fervent prayer of a righteous man has tremendous power. When you look at those words there, 101 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:37,960 it's not just saying words. It has intensity. It has force. It has passion. It has feeling. 102 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:46,080 You see the world of God's Holy Spirit allows intensity. It comes at times with tremendous 103 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:54,240 impressions comes with what I call even with velocity. I'll explain force direction endurance. 104 00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:00,160 There's more to this stuff than we realize. It has a lot of emotions, a lot of factors 105 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:09,320 in it that bring about the awesome presence and power of God Almighty. There's something 106 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:18,200 about that you enter that reaches God powerfully. Now, I don't know much about guns. Never had 107 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:24,560 a gun, never possessed a gun. But when you get into Texas, you've got to learn something 108 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:32,560 about guns because everybody has guns. My son's got a brilliant rifle that he got given 109 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:42,240 to him worth about a thousand dollars. He's never used it, thank God. Everybody carries 110 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:50,320 guns in Texas. Some parts of Texas walk down the street to walk like this in guns. I mean 111 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:56,800 that. When I first got this, I went to Texas to the Hill Country. Houston is as far as 112 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:06,400 you can see. Houston has the freeways to go up like this and then the hills of Houston. 113 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,920 That's the Hill Country. I thought that's interesting. I'll see some hills. We went 114 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:17,560 to the Hill Country and the little hills like that, that was the Hill Country. We went to 115 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:25,120 eat there in one of those real country places. I mean they walked in like this. They even 116 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,880 wear these massive hats. The moment I came at the airport, they gave me this massive 117 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,640 Texan hat there. About a hundred people met us at the airport or 200, whatever it was. 118 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:39,480 They gave me this hat and these guys wear this Texan hat, wear it sitting in the restaurant, 119 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:48,080 you know, don't take it off. It's another world, another world. Guns, guns. I learned 120 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:54,360 a little bit about guns. When you talk about this, and I don't know much about this stuff, 121 00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:01,440 when you talk about the velocity of the speed, it depends upon the diameter of the bullet, 122 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,600 the power and the casing determines the velocity. How many of you know something about guns 123 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:16,640 here? You do. Wow. I've seen you shoot it. I know that. That brings the speed. Now for 124 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:24,400 example, if I'm shooting a 264 Winchester Magnum rifle, I'm told, I have learned from 125 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:36,880 Houston, you put into it a.264 diameter bullet. It has a casing that holds fast burning powder. 126 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:48,800 It has the velocity as speed off as you send it out of 3,800 feet per second. That is fast. 127 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:56,420 Tremendous speed. I believe 200 yards away, if you point there, it will only drop about 128 00:15:56,420 --> 00:16:08,360 3 inches. That 200 feet is a long way. It's a long way. That thing shoots speed, tremendous 129 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:17,640 speed, tremendous velocity, tremendous speed before it hits the target. I believe there's 130 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:26,400 something in God where you, like tonight, those who know what happened, I just knew 131 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:32,800 God had come. Something happened to my body. It's gone. It stayed for a few minutes, it's 132 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:38,360 gone. When I was having these meetings, it would come. I haven't had it much and I said, 133 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:46,160 Lord, it's enough. Come on. Do the same here that you've done as I move around and tonight, 134 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:54,120 it just came. You know what happened. I didn't create that. I had nothing to do with it. 135 00:16:54,120 --> 00:17:00,320 It's the presence of God Almighty. Are you with me? It's wonderful. 136 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:06,960 I want to somehow teach you. Daniel made an interesting statement. I was reading this 137 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:12,880 week. It's an interesting thought here. Daniel the great prayer warrior that prayed for Israel 138 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:28,800 when they're in bondage under Babylonian captivity. He said in Daniel 9, verse 7, O Lord, righteousness 139 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:38,560 belongeth unto thee, but to us confusion of faces as to this day. Again, he repeats verse 140 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:47,440 8, O Lord, to us belongeth confusion. Some people, this powerful man of God, they interceded 141 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:54,120 for the nation of Israel whose angel came to them. Jesus came to them there. Awesome 142 00:17:54,120 --> 00:18:00,200 power came. The next chapter, you read it, but he says to us belongs confusion. Some 143 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:07,000 people are like that, confused, trying to break through. How can I break through in 144 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:17,800 prayer with God? How can I shoot that bullet? How can my prayers push right through and 145 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:24,960 have the miracle and have what God? See, God's got to be real to us. Can you say amen? I 146 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,600 do not want just religion. I'm not interested just to have religion. 147 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:37,120 Now, people will tell you I gave to a Spanish sister, where is she tonight? She's somewhere 148 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:41,240 here. Gave her four or five videos when I was speaking in Panama, six, seven, eight 149 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:50,480 thousand people. When people are ready, you can sense something just breaks through with 150 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:57,760 awesome power. I'm asking God to do that here. Can you say amen? I really believe Australia 151 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:04,160 has lost it. We have nice meetings. When we have great exciting meetings, it's still not 152 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:10,400 breaking through as far as I'm concerned because I'm not just interested in exciting meetings 153 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,280 and then go away with excitement. That's good, but I want to break through. Can somebody 154 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:23,360 say amen? I long to see God. We had a powerful service tonight, this morning, but I long 155 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:31,520 to see God break through. Now, how can we break through? This is my question. How can 156 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:40,320 we go from the natural into God's realm, from the terrestrial to the celestial? It'd be 157 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,280 wonderful if we could get up every morning and at the end of our bed, the angels were 158 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:51,280 singing and the choir of heaven was open. We just get up and say, good morning, Jesus. 159 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:59,240 It'd be marvelous, but it's not like that. We get up and our flesh is full of the flesh 160 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:07,680 and we're trying to break through. We're trying to get up to pray, get through to God. A lot 161 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:14,160 of people are very wonderful in church service. I'm interested in what you like in the mornings. 162 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,120 How much of God you have when you get up in the mornings. What you do when nobody else 163 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:26,520 sees you. How much of God is there. How strong you are in the Lord, not just in church. What 164 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,760 your voice is like when you're not here in this service. Hello, church. Now, we need 165 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:38,360 help. Can you agree with that? How to break through. We have great help. Go to Romans 166 00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:49,880 chapter 8, please. The book of Romans chapter 8. The apostle Paul says in verses 25 and 167 00:20:49,880 --> 00:21:03,840 27. No. Verse 26. Likewise, the spirit also help with our infirmities. We know that what 168 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,320 we should pray for as we ought. We don't know. Sometimes we don't know how to break through. 169 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:16,240 But the Spirit himself making the session for us with groaning itself. That's not a proper 170 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:23,760 translation himself. He's not in it. He's a person with groanings which cannot be uttered. 171 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:31,200 He that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit because he make 172 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:38,520 in the session for the saints according to the will of God. Now, notice he says he helps 173 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:44,560 our infirmities. The word infirmities, the word asthenia are weaknesses. Are confusion. 174 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:51,040 Let's be honest. Sometimes we don't know how to break through. The other night I was 175 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:59,840 in his presence praying and I said, God. And I opened to Daniel. To us belongs confusion. 176 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,800 Thank you Lord. You're speaking to me. But to you, there's no problem. That's how I got 177 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:17,200 this message. To you there's no problem. You know it all. But at times, let's be honest. 178 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:24,080 We struggle with this stuff. But it says the God has sent us what? The Holy Spirit. And 179 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:32,800 the Holy Spirit helps our infirmities. Now, we have great models of prayer. I have written 180 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,280 the Lord's Prayer Book. It's a powerful model. I use that to break through with God 181 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:45,480 and it works. I often do this when I walk even at home. I have the Tabernacle Prayer 182 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,160 which is again a very powerful way to break through with God. And these are all wonderful 183 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:58,600 keys that we should use regularly in our lives. I believe that with all my heart. But we need 184 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:05,480 more than the house, more than books. We need the Holy Spirit. Because he helps our asthenia, 185 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:11,520 our weaknesses when we don't know what to pray for, how to pray. So I have a struggle 186 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:18,080 with that. We all have struggles. You know Lord in this. You could stay in faith. It's 187 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,880 very important what I told you this morning. Your tongue is very crucial what you say. 188 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:31,040 But there is this infirmity of the flesh. We don't know at times how to break through. 189 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:37,040 But we have a wonderful person. Can you say amen? The Holy Spirit is in the searching 190 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:44,920 business. See, we're searching after God. But God is searching our heart. He that searcheth 191 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:53,280 the heart knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit. And make it in the session for us, 192 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,520 through us in this prayer according. Thank God for the Holy Ghost. Can somebody agree 193 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,600 with me? I talked about the Holy Spirit not this last Sunday but the Sunday before. That's 194 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:09,520 correct. What a wonderful time. He showed up in wonderful power. Actually we're having 195 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:15,640 meetings that I don't know if you realize. Don't lose what God is doing because of size. 196 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:22,560 Are you with me? Don't lose it because we're not thousands. But we're seeing things at 197 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:28,360 this moment like that meeting on the Holy Spirit. As far as I'm concerned, that was 198 00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:35,600 awesome. And you can just let it all pass by. God is not concerned about size as much 199 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:42,320 as we are. And if I have the wrong motivation for size, it doesn't work. Some of the greatest 200 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:49,920 teachings of Jesus was with a handful of people in homes or with amongst his disciples, a 201 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,240 bunch of twelve. So it's not, God's not the same business that we are because it's a great 202 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,680 confession, convention in America and tens of thousands of people. Wonderful. But size 203 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:09,240 is not the issue with God. He searched at what? He didn't say, I will search the size 204 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:15,080 and will bless them. He says, he that searcheth the heart knoweth what is the mind of the 205 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:21,040 spirit. He knows what God can do. God's got no problems. Hello church. God's not walking 206 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,120 up and down in heaven saying, what am I going to do? I don't know any about this guy. He 207 00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:31,880 knows the very hairs of my head. Hello church. He's not walking up and down saying, what's 208 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:39,440 going on in this world? Come on, understand this. He knows exactly what's going on. He 209 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,800 doesn't even say that. He didn't say, what can I do about it? He knows exactly what he's 210 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:52,440 going to do. You've got a big God. Come on church. We have the problem getting to him, 211 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:59,440 but he's searching our hearts for us to break through. Doesn't he say that basically? We 212 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:08,160 can pray because he knows our weakness, our limitations. What happened to David? He's 213 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:14,240 babysitting. Oh that's good. He got touched and now he's babysitting. Good. That's wonderful. 214 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,880 God bless him so that you can hear the word. That's good. But he can break through. Can 215 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:29,680 he say amen? Now remember, prayer is not blasting all the time. Sometimes you can do a bit of 216 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:37,000 blasting if you wish, but it also says, be still and know that I am God. It's not just 217 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:46,400 wild and understanding, but it's all kinds of things that bring the presence of God. 218 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:53,400 Sometimes you sit before the Lord in his presence. In his presence, God is there. There's nothing 219 00:26:53,400 --> 00:27:03,000 like his presence. There's a great danger for us to think that I know in America, in 220 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,560 certain parts of America, unless you had a time where everybody dances in the arts and 221 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:18,960 it's only then you've had God. I'm not convinced that that's necessarily God. That is a human 222 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:26,640 expression of what we are happy about in our life. I'm not against that. I remember once 223 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:33,920 Pastor Haddon was a very sophisticated person in church. He wanted to impress that person. 224 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:39,600 His dear old saint is to get into the aisle and have a little dance. He preached his best 225 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:47,560 message and he did his best he could do. Suddenly this lady took off in the aisle and he says, 226 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,960 I've lost it. As the man was leaving, he said, well, what do you think of that? He said, 227 00:27:52,960 --> 00:28:02,440 well, your message wasn't too bad, but if I had what that lady had, I'd be a happy man. 228 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:11,360 So not always is it what we think. Agreed? But there's all kinds of responses, all kinds 229 00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:20,720 of ways that we break through. The key is for us firstly to know and understand. If 230 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,720 we know what we're doing is right and we can add faith to it, correct? If we know that 231 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,400 what we are doing will get us through to God, we can add faith to it. Do you agree with 232 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:37,360 me? And something will happen at that moment in our life if we know what we're doing and 233 00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:41,920 we will have enormous results. If you know what you're doing, you can put faith to it. 234 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:48,160 You say, I'm doing my best. Doing your best is not enough. They do their best in India. 235 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:54,080 The Muslims do their best. Hello? I mean, they don't care what you think. They'll be 236 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,480 in an airport. I've seen them put the rug out in Europe and just start praying. They 237 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,840 ain't going to know who you are. They'll find out where Mecca is and off they go. They're 238 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:12,120 doing their best. Doing your best is not enough. You can be ignorant and miss out. It's why 239 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,760 they were ignorant of God's righteousness when they established their own righteousness 240 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:21,800 and never got God's righteousness. So that's not enough. Are you with me? That's not sufficient 241 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,880 for us. Now remember, let's go back to this. The Spirit 242 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,960 help with our infirmities, our weaknesses. We don't know what we should pray for as we 243 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:36,960 ought. So there's this barrier between us and God, this barrier that we've got to break 244 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:43,800 through and that's my determination tonight. Now, the reason why we struggle is because 245 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:50,160 this what I call the human limitations of the flesh. You know, I'd love to bring you 246 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,360 on a spiritual high all the time. It would be marvelous. We'll get into a high with God 247 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:02,720 and that would be wonderful. But you see, it doesn't work like that all the way. We 248 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,960 have this stuff called the flesh, where we live in. Unless you deal with this flesh, 249 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:16,840 it'll always keep you down and under. Now there's all kinds of flesh. In Philippians 250 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:26,960 chapter three, Paul said he had no confidence in the flesh. And he says, he talks about, 251 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,880 you know, all these things, the 8th day of the stock of Israel, the trial of Benjamin, 252 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,280 the Hebrews concerning zeal of pursuing the church, touching righteousness. This is what 253 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:43,360 he was like. Here the flesh is the religious stuff. You can have a very ordinary life, 254 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:50,880 this life that never breaks through with God. You may say, well, you know, I have this history 255 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:58,040 of religion, but it can simply be a fleshly thing that has never broken through with God. 256 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:06,200 Paul had that and he says, it didn't do me any good. A Hebrew of the Hebrew of the Pharisees, 257 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:14,960 of the tribe of Benjamin. Great man had all this stuff. He calls that the flesh. So that's 258 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:21,920 that part that hinders us. Then there's also in Galatians chapter six, it says, walk not 259 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:28,440 in the flesh, but in the spirit. So there's the flesh there of sinful things. Roman six 260 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:34,920 talks about that we crucify the flesh. That flesh can stop us. That flesh can stand in 261 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:40,000 the way of the things of God in our life. Remember that scripture in Romans, it says 262 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,800 the Holy Spirit help us our what? Infermities. And I, in my book on overcoming the giants, 263 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,080 I've got a chapter in the Holy Spirit in Romans chapter eight, and I deal with some of those 264 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,880 infirmities, what they are. The infirmities that, I mean, we somehow have to pray in the 265 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:05,760 morning. How do you get up and pray? It's called the flesh. Some of us up, down, up, 266 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:12,160 down, up, down like yo-yos as Christians. What is that? The flesh. One day, hallelujah. 267 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:21,720 And next to it, oh my, oh me. And the flesh is still pervading within us. We haven't crucified 268 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:27,520 the flesh. You know, we say, oh, like the guy said, I'm going to serve God from now 269 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:36,040 on. He doesn't have to go to church next Sunday. Why didn't he? Well, I slept in. No, it doesn't 270 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,240 compute with me, except I know it's the flesh. If you really mean you're going to serve God 271 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:47,640 with all your might and heart, you get an alarm clock. You get there. I mean, I have 272 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:55,880 never, in 45 years of ministry, I've hardly ever missed a Sunday. Never have I missed 273 00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,960 a Sunday. Now you say you're proud. No, I'm not proud. I thank God. Well, I've had to 274 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:08,920 because I've been the preacher. But the flesh, the flesh. So often the flesh hinders. Come 275 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:16,320 on. Can you understand that? The flesh stands in the way. Now in Romans chapter 8, it also 276 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:23,640 talks about the mind of the flesh or the mind of the spirit. So there's another realm of 277 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:30,400 the flesh there. Unless we renew our mind daily with God, are you with me? We get fleshly 278 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:37,040 in our mind. If you have the mind of the flesh, it says we never grow, we die, we lose what 279 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:45,520 God has. There's a flesh part, please listen to me, that we not need to break through this 280 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:53,640 barrier, the physical flesh, even maybe sometimes the sinful flesh, the religious flesh. And 281 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:59,600 that's why we don't live in commitment. We don't do all that God wants us to do because 282 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:06,040 we're still in this business called the flesh. We've got to crucify it. Can somebody say 283 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:15,400 amen? See, we don't see the unseen. We don't see the spirit world. We're so temple creatures. 284 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:21,200 Temple creatures of time and sense. God is eternal. He's just as real. But Jesus in John 285 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:31,400 17 made a very profound statement concerning this as he's praying. He says here, I am not 286 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,840 of this world. He says, but what's the verse there? I think verse 11. He says, I am no 287 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:43,920 more of this world, but these are in the world. I come to thee, Holy Father. He had broken 288 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:50,360 through. And he says, I am no more. I'm going back to you, Father. I'm going to be with 289 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:56,040 you, but they're still in this world. And you're in this world, like it or not. It's 290 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,240 these three times that deliver us from this evil world as he prays for them. We still 291 00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:07,560 live in this world. He broke through, of course. He's our great intercessor. He's the Son of 292 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:14,720 God, but we are still breaking through. Can you say amen? And now I want to break through. 293 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:18,560 Now, in John Matthew 4, it says, �Man shall live by the blood of man, but by every word 294 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,760 that proceedeth.� Jesus said that to the devil. And the word means that God is speaking 295 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:28,520 all the time there. The mood, the tense, Dr. Terry, he did some work with me on that. It 296 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:33,520 means that God is talking all the time. We don't hear him enough. We could just stop 297 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:41,200 and listen. God is talking. God has many things to say to you. You can only hear it. Break 298 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:48,200 through. Break through. Can you say amen? He's ever searching the heart, trying to raise 299 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,880 to � You see, you're not getting a hold of God's reluctance. You're not sitting up 300 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:58,200 there and saying, �Now, come on. Push through, boy. When you push through enough, then you've 301 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:05,200 made it.� No, no. He's eagerly trying to help you break through. Can somebody say amen? 302 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:14,320 Eagerly. He invites us to come to the throne. But we've got to break through. We have the 303 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:21,000 job as ours. He has given us Jesus Christ who has broken every barrier, the sin barrier, 304 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,920 even the flesh barrier, to crucify that. He's given us the Holy Spirit, has He, who wants 305 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:31,840 to break through, who wants to pray through us? Are you with me? He's done it all, but 306 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:38,680 we have got to break through. I don't think we believe fully the power of this breaking 307 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,640 through prayer life. If we really believed it would be the biggest meeting in the church, 308 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:48,800 it would be the prayer meeting. It's like putting teeth in some churches to get people 309 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:55,360 out to the prayer meeting, not going to a dentist. You know? Anything about that, Lord? 310 00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:00,200 Because we don't believe the power of prayer. We don't believe we can break through. Come 311 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:08,360 on. Let's be honest. Think of weakness as sending you the flesh. But we can break through. 312 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,200 Are you with me? That's what I'm trying to get hold of. We've got to get out of the flesh 313 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:20,520 and of the spirit. Are you with me? Are you with me? Let's grab hold of this. God is speaking. 314 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:25,640 God wants us to know. What was Christ, the key of Christ's ministry? He says in John 315 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,640 17 and 18, I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received 316 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:40,880 them. He heard God's words. He received them. We likewise can receive from God if we spend 317 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:47,160 time, if we break through the flesh. Can you say amen? If we can only take hold of it and 318 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:52,280 see, when God came to Adam, he hid in the garden. We hide in our houses, in our work, 319 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:58,800 in our business, in our emotions. We keep hiding. We keep hiding away from the potential 320 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:05,840 of power of life there is in God. And we've got to break through. Can you say amen? That's 321 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:12,280 why I'm doing this tonight, to get to the place where you say, I can, I will break through 322 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:17,320 with God. Come on, Church. And God will do great things. Can you say amen? He will do 323 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:25,520 great things for us. The barriers of God, it's our problem. We're in the flesh, captives, 324 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:32,000 hostages to the terra firma. That's why we have to pray. That's why we have to push through. 325 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:40,640 I don't know how many of you have the experience, when you start praying, it's like, ugh. But 326 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:49,680 if you start off, and once you start praying, you're there. And it's marvelous. You've broken 327 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:57,560 through. You've broken through a dimension. When you don't want to read the Word, everything 328 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,080 will come your way to stop you reading the Word. I mean, you have every thought of what 329 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:08,760 you're supposed to do, who you're supposed to see. We'll eat some more food or something. 330 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,200 I've got to do this, I've got to do this. But once you start and shut the door and get 331 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:21,200 alone with God, you break through. Because you've broken through this flesh, through 332 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,000 this barrier that stands between us and the others, of course, never do because they say, 333 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:33,120 I'm too sinful. Jesus bore that sin. Jesus broke that barrier for you. No one can say 334 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:39,280 they're not worthy. He is the worthy one. Can you say amen? He is the sufficient one. 335 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:47,720 He is the answer to what we need. Can you say amen? He has the solution to our problems. 336 00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:53,480 And we can break it. Go to Romans 8 for me. Let's read this because there's some very 337 00:39:53,480 --> 00:40:01,560 powerful thoughts there. Paul knew this. He says then, verse 5, for they that are in the 338 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:08,520 flesh, Romans 8, to mind the things of the flesh. This is just natural life. I'm not 339 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,760 talking about the evil flesh there. It's just ordinary life. They're in the spirit to mind 340 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,680 the things of the spirit. For to be kind in mind is death, but the spiritual mind is life 341 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,560 and peace. Because the kind of mind is enmity against God. It's not subject to the laws 342 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:28,600 of God, neither can it be. So they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But then he 343 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:34,280 says this, but you're not in the flesh, but in the spirit. If so be that the spirit of 344 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:40,440 God will. What do you have? You have the Holy Spirit. Many men have not the spirit of Christ. 345 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:46,200 So when you've received Christ, you have the capacity to break through. Can you say amen 346 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:51,760 to that? You do. And if Christ has been near, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit 347 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:58,840 is alive because of righteousness. And so you have something in you from God that can 348 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:05,040 break through to God. Can you say amen? Because you know God, you could something in, if you 349 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:12,160 can make room for that and set the flesh aside, you can break through. Can you say amen? You 350 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:18,440 can break through because you're not in the flesh, but also these unusual words in the 351 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:25,440 spirit. If so be that the spirit of God, when you that's talking about the spirit of Christ, 352 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,280 when you receive Christ, you have got the spirit of God. Can you say amen? Then you 353 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:37,240 have the Holy Spirit who helps us break through, who helps us, but get the flesh aside. Go 354 00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:42,120 to that door and shut it no matter what and put a door against it that nobody can get 355 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:49,240 in. Say I'm here Lord, I've broken through the flesh. Thank you Jesus this morning. I 356 00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:59,040 give you half an hour. There's coffee time or there's work time. But what I'm saying 357 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,360 is this stuff we've got to break through. Can you what I'm trying to say is this God 358 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:09,920 is spirit, as we do now, as you know, your flesh, terra firma, humans, human, you're 359 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:15,720 just this earth. We have something within us whereby we can break through to God. Can 360 00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:22,200 you say amen? We do have. Like Sister tonight was saying, I mean God touched you. Where 361 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,800 did the tears come? Did I say something miserable to you? That the tears came? What did this 362 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,960 presence come? What happens when that heat came? I mean who creates it? There's a little 363 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:38,080 bottle underneath you where nobody could see for a minute. I mean one Sister that for days 364 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:45,080 that heat on her body. Hello. It's God that comes. It's God that visits us. Are you with 365 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:51,600 me? It's real. It's as real as now. But you are not just a flesh being, you are a spiritual 366 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:58,480 being. You're being of spirit, soul and body. And this morning I gave you the principles 367 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:05,000 of success that keeps you in that realm of spiritual power. What you say, how you speak, 368 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:12,120 what you do, how you declare it. Because you are more than just a being of flesh. You let 369 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:17,760 the flesh predominate. Not, well I'm not fleshly. You don't commit terrible sins, but you're 370 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:25,960 still being the flesh. You'd be very religious and pride yourself like Paul did for years 371 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:31,080 until Jesus knocked him on the ground on the road to Damascus. And I've met a lot of people 372 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:37,320 very religious. I mean I've got several degrees, several doctors, but if that ever gets in 373 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:47,680 the way, God have mercy on me. You see, it's not me, it's old Jesus. I have nothing. These 374 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:53,640 things are really useless except they're tools with which to serve God. Are you with me? 375 00:43:53,640 --> 00:44:00,640 They're not my way of heaven. I think God's going to say, here comes Dr. Klyminok in heaven. 376 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:09,080 He won't be impressed at all. Not one iota will he be impressed. He's going to be impressed 377 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:18,320 with what I've done for Jesus. Impressed with my heart, with my faith in him, with my love 378 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:24,360 for him. And I'm going to be impressed by how much he loves me, despite of all my weaknesses 379 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:32,880 and frailties and failures. I'm impressed that he's of his unconditional love, that 380 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:40,560 God so loved me. He loves you too. Can you say amen? Marvelous, marvelous. Amen, Church. 381 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:47,040 So we're just trying to understand this world because we are earthly, he is eternal. We're 382 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:54,080 creatures of clay and dust, but he is eternal. And the most important thing that counts is 383 00:44:54,080 --> 00:45:00,040 that you is your spirit, your spiritual life with God, your life of relationship, your 384 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:07,320 life of faith. You see, not possible. Yes, it is. Jesus came to do it all. He reconciled 385 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,760 you to God. He put you back to God. The sin barrier has been broken. The flesh barrier 386 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:17,080 has been broken. The Holy Spirit can be in you. You can possess the mind of the Spirit. 387 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,880 You can live in the Spirit. You have it all there. You can walk in the Spirit, as it says, 388 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:27,840 to not fulfill the things of this flesh. Right here is the answer. So every morning you wake 389 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:33,080 up and get some spiritual food. That's what Israel had to do. The morning the manna came. 390 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:39,120 They didn't go. They missed it. They were hungry all day long. Get some manna every 391 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:45,800 morning. Get into his presence. You see, when the church grows and things that God is going 392 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,280 to do, I'm making great confessions. I know that we have great buildings and so on. Finally, 393 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,960 for God's sake, I'm never going to be impressed with the buildings, by the way. We're going 394 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,720 to have them for the sake of the world. When we have something, I can invite great singers. 395 00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:04,160 I'll have a thousand, two thousand people. Youth will come. But what about that's wonderful, 396 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:09,840 but until they break through, it's just entertainment. We've brought them there that they may touch 397 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:16,640 God and at least respond somewhere. You understand? But finally, they're going to break through. 398 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,680 They're really going to break through. So that doesn't do it all. God's not impressed 399 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,560 with that either. Do I sound a bit negative at night? I don't know if you think I do or 400 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:35,360 not, but I'm just trying to show you what's important. It'd be marvelous if you rose in 401 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,800 the morning and said the heavens were opening, you were singing and the choir was at the 402 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:46,880 end of your bed, but it doesn't happen like that. It doesn't happen like that. I've walked 403 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,000 many times and said, where are the choir angels, Lord? No, they're not there. I've got to get 404 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:59,920 up, got to find a place, got to give priority to God, don't let the flesh hinder me and 405 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:07,040 break through. I still want to hear the choir, but I'll hear enough to know that God's there. 406 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,000 His presence will be there. If you want a choir, put a nice tape on. There's some great 407 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:24,440 choirs around. Amen. So it's crucial. It's crucial, you see, in Hebrews 11.4, he that 408 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:32,520 comes to God must believe that he is and that he's white, a reward of them who break through 409 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:41,000 the flesh, that diligently seek him. The mystery of prayer is breaking through from the flesh 410 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:47,400 into the spirit, from the natural into the throne. Listen to Hebrews chapter four. I'll 411 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:52,400 finish quickly. How long have I gone? I don't even know how long I've gone. Hebrews four 412 00:47:52,400 --> 00:48:02,000 says, I won't be too long. So we said, thank God. It tells us Hebrews four in verse 16, 413 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:10,040 let us come therefore boldly unto the throne of grace. Imagine God saying to us, come boldly 414 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:17,720 to us. And the Greek that is used here literally means you come into a place or draw near in 415 00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:22,040 Hebrews 10. It means literally you draw near. We drew near to God and some unusual things 416 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:28,920 happened tonight. It was just his manifest presence. We just drew near. There's some 417 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:34,400 we didn't get anything simply because of the flesh. We said, could I have touched, 418 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,600 you could have touched something. Some needed it more than others. And sometimes God in 419 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:47,240 his mercy just touches people and does great things. I don't understand at all. I stick 420 00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:53,640 to this book. Can you say amen? And I want more than just a nice sermon at the Christian 421 00:48:53,640 --> 00:49:02,120 nets. I want to break through with God. See your side and God's side, your side is from 422 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:08,840 fear to faith. And fear is a very dangerous thing. But it's all of us, a man can walk 423 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:16,840 in a 40 story building high and go from beam to beam and jump around. But he's got fears 424 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:23,000 about his wife leaving him. Different kinds of fears. A man can walk into a cage with 425 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:30,320 a lion has no problems, but he can't get near a spider. Different kinds of fears. So we've 426 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:36,760 got to come from doubt to understanding from darkness to light. That's the way that's 427 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:44,280 the that's that Israel from war to peace. Can you say amen? For insecurities of confidence, 428 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:51,120 it can all change in God's presence. Can you say amen? As Isaac once says, he gives us 429 00:49:51,120 --> 00:50:01,880 beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for morning, the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. 430 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:09,920 We might be trees of righteousness, the planting of the planting, planting of the Lord. So 431 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:16,880 what did the psalmist say in Psalm 16? In thy presence is fullness of joy at thy right 432 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:25,320 hand. He knew that round. He touched that round at the right hand that are what pleasures 433 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:35,320 forevermore. Oh, get hungry for God's press deal with this flesh. Let that not stop you 434 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:44,280 entering the marvelous, amazing, wonderful presence of God. Now, God has provided the 435 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:51,960 means and I believe this. There are like doors that opened it up. And when you start with 436 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:58,120 God, you may have one kind of prayer that you pray and that's wonderful. And you use 437 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:04,800 certain cliches. That's good. But there are many doors. So they put it that way. There's 438 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:10,880 a door of worship. Worship tonight brought his presence. There's the door of intercession. 439 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:18,840 It says praying Ephesians 6, 18, praying all kinds of prayer. And so we say, I wonder God 440 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,280 in heaven was like brass. God wasn't there. Yes, he was there, but you're in the wrong 441 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:29,680 door. Learn to get to the right door at times. It may be different the next time. Learn God. 442 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:35,120 Learn how God works with you. Learn that the Spirit works, the Holy Spirit works through 443 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:44,560 you until you break through with God. Can you say amen until God powerfully breaks through? 444 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,840 There is travail that's in the session. There's Thanksgiving. When I was born in Columbia, 445 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:54,800 I learned the power of cleansing before the throne. That's very powerful in my life. They're 446 00:51:54,800 --> 00:52:05,720 revolutionary. A door that opened. So that's why some people only pray sporadically. They 447 00:52:05,720 --> 00:52:12,440 say, God is there waiting for you. You're not getting hold of his reluctance. Can you 448 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:21,960 say amen? But learn there's a whole key realm there to break through. It's like deep. What 449 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:28,720 the poet said was the length, depth and height in Ephesians 3, 18. There are realms that 450 00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:34,480 are depth. God wants us to enter into his awesome presence. Can you say amen? Remember 451 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:45,480 how Jacob and I close with this in Genesis 32, suddenly an angel came to Jacob and started 452 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:54,960 wrestling with him. All night long, he wrestled with his angel. As the dawn breaks, the angel 453 00:52:54,960 --> 00:53:04,760 says, I'm leaving. Now that scene changes. Jacob now is wrestling with the angel. Jacob 454 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:12,960 said, I'm not letting you go until you bless me. He starts wrestling with him until his 455 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:19,520 very physical being is affected. Later on, it's amazing that God would allow himself 456 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:27,920 to be called as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He broke through into realms with 457 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:32,880 God. See, as the angels leave in the morning to get their messages from heaven to do the 458 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:40,160 works of God upon the earth, you're not going, angel. Maybe the angel Lord, I don't know, 459 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:48,160 but it says in Isaiah chapter 12, by a string, he had power over the angel. Imagine that. 460 00:53:48,160 --> 00:54:00,200 Imagine the power that you have to break through with God. Imagine the power you have. If only 461 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:09,480 we'd make that room. That's the biggest battle you will have because I know a lot of Christians 462 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:21,280 that will serve God even in church, but they don't pray. The biggest battle of the life 463 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:28,760 is to break through with God. If you want the best, you're going to get from the natural 464 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:38,840 to the spiritual, from the earthly to the heavenly. And it's possible. It says, we don't 465 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:48,960 know how, but the Holy Spirit helps us. Correct? It's possible. He says, come to my throne. 466 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:59,000 Come to my throne. Come to my presence and I will lead you until you get like these mighty 467 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:06,720 men touched Israel. I've heard of great generals that led armies that you spend an hour before 468 00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:12,120 God and they'd ask their adjutant just to say, don't disturb me for an hour. When the 469 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:19,480 adjutant would come back after an hour, they'd say, is it over already? Because they've been 470 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:25,600 with God. Oh, the mighty men of the Bible knew how to break through with God. Do you 471 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:33,440 want to break through? I want to break through. Can we stand, please? A bit long, I apologize 472 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:39,720 for that. I've made up my mind to finish by quarter to eight. Well, we had an unusual 473 00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:47,400 time tonight, earlier, so it took about half an hour or so. Well, the flesh is around us, 474 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:57,760 so I'm trying to be kind. Let's stand in God's presence, shall we? 475 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:21,680 Help us to break through, Lord. Just worship Him. Lift your hand and worship if you wish. 476 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:45,520 Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. One night I would bring you a tape when I was 477 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:52,760 born, there was about 8,000 people there. We're just worshiping like that and suddenly 478 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:59,720 we heard the angels sing. No doubt, you listen to it, there's no doubt. We stop looking around 479 00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:05,000 and there would be one singing anymore and the angels just singing. We just broke through 480 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:12,000 something with God, because God is the supernatural God. 481 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,520 I will praise Him. 482 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,560 I will praise You. 483 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:24,120 I will praise You. 484 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:30,440 I will praise You. 485 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:35,440 I will praise You. 486 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,440 Worship in church. 487 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:42,440 I will praise You. 488 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:49,440 Holy Ghost, I will praise You. 489 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:55,440 I will praise You. 490 00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,440 I will praise You. 491 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,440 Thank You, Jesus. 492 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:07,440 Thank You, Jesus. 493 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,440 You can break through right now. 494 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:14,440 Thank You, Jesus. 495 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:20,440 Thank You, Jesus. 496 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:26,440 Thank You, Jesus. 497 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:32,440 Thank You, Jesus. 498 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:38,440 Thank You, Jesus. 499 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:44,440 Thank You, Jesus. 500 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,440 Thank You, Jesus. 501 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:52,440 I want you just one minute to find somebody to pray with them, 502 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,440 and encourage each other to learn to pray. 503 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,440 Take somebody by the hand nearby you, and pray with them, 504 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,440 as brothers as quality plays. 505 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,440 Just find someone and pray together. 506 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,440 Say, God help us to pray. 507 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,440 Teach us how to pray. 508 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,440 Teach us to break through. 509 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,440 I ask God to help you. 510 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,440 The Holy Spirit will help you. 511 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,440 Lord help us to pray through, I pray. 512 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:21,440 To spend time with the manner of Your Word in the mornings. 513 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,440 Help us to break through, Lord, every one of us, 514 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,440 that we would see You work in our lives powerfully. 515 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,440 Oh God, come on cry out to the Lord. 516 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,440 Help us, Lord, to break through. 517 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,440 Help us to break through, Master, we pray. 518 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:40,440 In the name of Jesus, from the natural to the spiritual, 519 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,440 from the terrestrial to the celestial, 520 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:48,440 from the terra firma to the presence of Almighty God. 521 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,440 Oh bless every one of us, Lord. 522 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,440 Draw near to us. 523 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,440 Make us people of prayer that break through 524 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,440 with the velocity, the passion, the spirit, 525 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,440 as You talk to us in the name of Jesus. 526 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:10,440 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 527 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,440 Thank you, Lord. 528 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:25,440 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 529 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:44,440 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 530 01:00:44,440 --> 01:01:00,440 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 531 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,440 Let Your blessing rest upon every one of us. 532 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:09,440 We pray as we go. 533 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:20,440 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 534 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,440 Bless this precious man, this father, this family. 535 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,440 Touch his life, Lord. 536 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:32,440 Be with him all his days, give him strength and health. 537 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,440 Let Your presence come to him, Lord. 538 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:40,440 I don't know him very well, but I bless him tonight. 539 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,440 Would You also bless him?
