WEBVTT 00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:20.129 I want to give reverence to the Father, to the 00:00:20.129 --> 00:00:25.149 Lord Jesus, to the Holy Spirit, to the Lord God 00:00:25.149 --> 00:00:29.350 Almighty who is here with us. I declare that 00:00:29.350 --> 00:00:34.329 the kingdom of heaven is in this place and I 00:00:34.329 --> 00:00:37.869 speak peace to all who receive it in the name 00:00:37.869 --> 00:00:41.509 of the Lord Jesus. The word of God says to give 00:00:41.509 --> 00:00:43.649 honor to your leaders, particularly those who 00:00:43.649 --> 00:00:47.359 teach you about Jesus. Let's give a hand clap 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:57.920 for Pastor Brad and his lovely wife. We want 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.880 to give honor to all of the ministers and leaders 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.280 as well. And also honor to our dear brother Jan. 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:15.680 Let's give him a big hand clap. The Bible says 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.579 honor one another in Christ. And so give a hand 00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:24.900 clap for your neighbor, will you? Amen. Amen. 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.640 So I'm sure that, oh, I see my wife in the back 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.920 there. Let's give an honor to Deborah Denise 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.879 Kemp. Amen. We've been married. We'll be 40 years 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:48.090 this May coming. Amen. Praise the Lord. And, 00:01:48.109 --> 00:01:51.849 you know, when you have to sit up front all the 00:01:51.849 --> 00:01:54.549 time, it's wonderful to just sit in the back 00:01:54.549 --> 00:01:59.010 and just watch stuff. Praise the Lord. Let me 00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:02.530 ask a question, if I may. Is there anyone here 00:02:02.530 --> 00:02:05.170 you're hearing me in person for the first time? 00:02:05.209 --> 00:02:09.590 If you'll be really nice, raise your hands. Well, 00:02:09.710 --> 00:02:16.879 praise the Lord. Okay, well, that's great. Look 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:18.860 at somebody say, that preacher needs a lot of 00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:29.460 prayer. I received Jesus when I was 16 and got 00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:31.960 filled with the Holy Spirit and started preaching 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:38.280 in 1974. I was a youth pastor for like five years, 00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:40.819 associate pastor 20 years, senior pastor. I pastor 00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:48.159 pastors. I get around just a little. I really 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.020 do know how to teach. Introduction, body, points 00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:55.580 one through five, conclusion and summary. But 00:02:55.580 --> 00:03:04.620 I'm not in the mood. My father was in the Navy 00:03:04.620 --> 00:03:07.919 and then he taught weaponry in the Air Force. 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.800 How he woke us up is he actually said the word 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:17.099 trevally. How many of you have been in the military? 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:18.979 Raise your hands if you've been in the military. 00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:27.000 Oh, then you understand. A second way to teach 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.539 is to do it military style. That goes like this. 00:03:30.979 --> 00:03:32.699 I'm going to tell you what I'm fixing to tell 00:03:32.699 --> 00:03:35.080 you. I'm going to tell you what I told you I 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.539 was going to tell you. And I'm going to finish 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:40.180 up by telling you what I told you. Look at somebody 00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:41.800 and say, thank God he's not going to do that 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:48.659 tonight. Then you can speak extemporaneously 00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:53.039 or spontaneously by like word of knowledge or 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.039 the wisdom and prophecy. And then you can speak 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.240 out of what I call the presence of the manifest 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.259 presence or the localized presence or. The glory, 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.000 the essence of what God is in the moment, in 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:23.579 the now. And so, are you ready? Okay. Pastor 00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:26.199 Brad asked me to talk about supernatural realms, 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:32.199 and I can do that. I'm going to be super brief. 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:33.560 Look at somebody and say, he's not going to tell 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.560 you everything. He's going to give you snapshots. 00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:47.519 So, you know, in 1989, I had a surprise. It was 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.180 the month of December, 4 o 'clock in the morning. 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.519 An angel came, about 5 '10", very handsome, looked 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.339 to be about between 20s and 30s, black hair. 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.480 My spirit left my body, and I went into heaven. 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.879 There I saw the glory of God, just like Isaiah 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.939 6, and just like John talked about the heavenly 00:05:07.939 --> 00:05:13.759 tabernacle. Saw Jesus face to face, some witnesses. 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:21.079 And out of that, as a result of that, in conjunction 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.699 with that, the Father asked me some questions. 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.060 Now, before I get into that, here's what I want 00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:32.389 to say to you. From the perspective of the earth, 00:05:32.610 --> 00:05:36.750 God is by definition a supernatural being. Look 00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:41.209 at somebody and say, God, by definition, is a 00:05:41.209 --> 00:05:45.730 supernatural being. Now, I want to say this to 00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:48.490 you. Because a lot of times when people think 00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:54.250 supernatural, they think it's all woo -woo. But 00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:57.389 look at somebody and just say this. Say these 00:05:57.389 --> 00:05:59.430 words, and please say them the way I say them. 00:05:59.689 --> 00:06:04.350 Say that good -looking preacher is telling you 00:06:04.350 --> 00:06:10.649 right now that if it's wholly supernatural, it's 00:06:10.649 --> 00:06:17.790 wholly practical. So let me give you an example. 00:06:18.689 --> 00:06:22.910 So the father asked me a question, and he said, 00:06:22.970 --> 00:06:27.069 what do you think made Abraham great? And so... 00:06:27.389 --> 00:06:30.230 in the realm of the spirit, there's no miscommunication. 00:06:31.209 --> 00:06:34.709 So, I mean, you can talk, but really it's spirit 00:06:34.709 --> 00:06:39.089 to spirit and you think it or you, and it's there. 00:06:40.569 --> 00:06:42.589 So, you know, of course, the first thing that 00:06:42.589 --> 00:06:47.629 comes to my heart, my soul is Abraham believed 00:06:47.629 --> 00:06:50.069 you and it was a credit to him for righteousness. 00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:52.610 And the father said, that's true. And then he 00:06:52.610 --> 00:06:56.029 referred me to Genesis 18. You should read the 00:06:56.029 --> 00:07:02.230 whole chapter sometime because Abraham gets a 00:07:02.230 --> 00:07:07.850 visitation from God and he begins to talk about 00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:10.529 Abraham and he says, I know Abraham. Look at 00:07:10.529 --> 00:07:11.970 somebody and say, it's a good thing when the 00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:17.430 Lord knows you. And he says, you know, Abraham 00:07:17.430 --> 00:07:21.990 will become a great nation and Abraham will. 00:07:24.009 --> 00:07:27.069 Do what's right, and he will follow the judgments 00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:29.769 of the Lord, and he will teach his household 00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:33.329 and his children to follow in his steps. And 00:07:33.329 --> 00:07:37.050 the point of the father was this, that what makes 00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:41.689 you great as a natural father and as a natural 00:07:41.689 --> 00:07:44.810 mother or as a spiritual father or a spiritual 00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:48.990 mother in any aspect of ministry, Ephesians 4 00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:51.629 and 11, apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, 00:07:51.769 --> 00:07:55.009 teacher. is that you, number one, have this intimacy 00:07:55.009 --> 00:08:01.269 with God where you know God and he knows you. 00:08:02.470 --> 00:08:07.449 Philippians 3, 10, that I might know him, Father, 00:08:07.569 --> 00:08:09.870 Son, and Holy Ghost, but there Paul's specifically 00:08:09.870 --> 00:08:15.810 speaking of the Lord Jesus. And so you have this 00:08:15.810 --> 00:08:20.509 intimacy with God, and then you communicate that 00:08:20.509 --> 00:08:24.180 intimacy. You transmit that intimacy and you 00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:29.500 impart that intimacy to your children so that 00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:32.799 they follow in your steps. From the father's 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:38.320 definition, that's what makes you great. It is 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:45.000 not being the pastor of a big church. It is not 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.759 being on Christian television. It is not making 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.980 a million. It is not being well -known and famous. 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.779 It is not, and I'm not against signs, wonders, 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.759 and miracles because the Lord has signs, wonders, 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.679 and miracles in my life and ministry. It's none 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.779 of that. Look at somebody's head. It's intimacy 00:09:07.779 --> 00:09:15.490 with God and communicating that. Okay, so. I 00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:17.830 could not see the face of God the Father because 00:09:17.830 --> 00:09:20.110 of the brightness of the light that emanated 00:09:20.110 --> 00:09:21.970 from his being and the cloud that surrounded. 00:09:22.570 --> 00:09:26.250 So the Father then pointed out to me about the 00:09:26.250 --> 00:09:28.710 book of Judges. Look at somebody and say, you're 00:09:28.710 --> 00:09:32.330 supposed to learn something tonight. Because 00:09:32.330 --> 00:09:34.549 when God is moving supernaturally, you're going 00:09:34.549 --> 00:09:36.470 to learn something. In fact, as soon as I was 00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:39.049 in heaven, the first thing the Father said to 00:09:39.049 --> 00:09:41.870 me is he said, take notes and learn. which means 00:09:41.870 --> 00:09:46.330 apparently I needed help. Look at somebody say 00:09:46.330 --> 00:09:54.110 heaven for dummies. Well, I could tell you a 00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:55.970 whole lot of stuff, but I'm just going to save 00:09:55.970 --> 00:10:02.570 you. So the father brings up about Manoah. You 00:10:02.570 --> 00:10:04.370 know, you should read like Judges 13 and all 00:10:04.370 --> 00:10:06.590 that. So, you know, he and his wife couldn't 00:10:06.590 --> 00:10:10.149 have any children. Obviously they wanted to have. 00:10:11.149 --> 00:10:13.830 And so an angel from God appears to the wife. 00:10:15.269 --> 00:10:17.149 Look at somebody and say, sometimes the woman 00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:18.889 gets the revelation before the brother does. 00:10:21.570 --> 00:10:24.809 In fact, while we're on this subject, somebody 00:10:24.809 --> 00:10:27.409 wrote a book. And the title of the book was, 00:10:27.509 --> 00:10:29.750 I have heard the voice of the Lord and it sounds 00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:39.159 like my wife. Sometimes it's like that. I mean, 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.779 God actually did say to Abraham one time, listen 00:10:41.779 --> 00:10:44.539 to your wife. Look at somebody say, that's a 00:10:44.539 --> 00:10:47.740 word for somebody up in here. Look at somebody 00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:54.000 say, it's already prophetic. So anyway, the angel 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:59.179 tells her the consecration that she needs prior 00:10:59.179 --> 00:11:02.720 to childbirth. The angel giving her the word 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.299 of the Lord tells her. the child's destiny. He's 00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:10.080 going to be a judge and a deliverer and tells 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:15.940 her the consecration that the child needs. And 00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:19.720 the father points out to me Manoah's question. 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.940 Here's his question. How shall we order the child 00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:27.820 and how shall we raise him? What if I was to 00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:33.269 say to you that a husband and a wife Or to get 00:11:33.269 --> 00:11:35.389 together with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy 00:11:35.389 --> 00:11:41.470 Spirit before childbirth and say, Lord, what's 00:11:41.470 --> 00:11:45.629 going on here? And before we start thinking in 00:11:45.629 --> 00:11:47.850 that direction, what kind of consecration do 00:11:47.850 --> 00:11:53.809 you want us to make and keep? Before childbirth 00:11:53.809 --> 00:11:59.909 and after. And what is the destiny of the child? 00:12:00.809 --> 00:12:03.269 What if I was to say to you that when we look 00:12:03.269 --> 00:12:05.970 at Proverbs 22 and six, by the way, the father 00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:08.669 pointed this out. We look at that scripture as 00:12:08.669 --> 00:12:11.250 discipline, train up a child in a way he should 00:12:11.250 --> 00:12:14.210 go. And when he's old, he will not depart from 00:12:14.210 --> 00:12:17.889 it. But what if I was to suggest to you that 00:12:17.889 --> 00:12:21.610 the father wants you as a natural and spiritual 00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:25.870 father and mother to observe and study your child 00:12:25.870 --> 00:12:30.820 to discover. They're God -given natural and supernatural 00:12:30.820 --> 00:12:35.240 tendencies and abilities and cultivate those 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.799 to maturity so the child is successful in life 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:44.460 and ministry. Look at somebody and say, if it's 00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:54.860 supernatural, it's very, very practical. If you 00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:57.580 missed the Lord in doing that, just say, Lord, 00:12:57.700 --> 00:13:05.580 I repent. Forgive me. How many of you didn't 00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:07.120 do that when you were raising your kids? Raise 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.740 your hands. All right. Just say, Lord, I repent. 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:16.919 Forgive me. I missed you on that one. Now say, 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.580 it's forgiven. It's washed by the blood of Jesus. 00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:24.320 Now, listen, let me help you understand something. 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.299 I don't like missing God, but it's not like it's 00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:38.059 a new experience for me. Look at somebody said, 00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:49.120 okay. I am not afraid to fail. Let me tell you 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:57.379 why I'm not afraid. It's like nothing new. I 00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:59.559 can look at the sanctuary and I got like lots 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:06.720 of company. I failed in the past. I'll probably 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.279 fail in some way tonight. I no doubt fell in 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.600 the future. Look at somebody say, in the name 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:18.419 of Jesus, get over yourself. And look at somebody 00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:21.759 say, and if you can get over yourself. You are 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:27.799 in a supernatural move of God. Because there's 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.659 a difference between failing and being a failure. 00:14:30.779 --> 00:14:33.340 You're not a failure unless you quit and give 00:14:33.340 --> 00:14:37.720 up. And failure is always on the road to success. 00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:43.960 Look at somebody and say, fail forward. I'm gaining 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.139 wisdom from my mistakes and God is turning my 00:14:47.139 --> 00:14:53.340 mistakes into miracles. So let me just bring 00:14:53.340 --> 00:14:57.019 this up to you. What if I was the... So the father 00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:59.620 brings up Deuteronomy where he talks about, see, 00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:03.720 sometimes we want to leave the development of 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.960 our children to the senior pastor, the associate 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.820 pastor, the youth pastor, and the children's 00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:11.000 pastor. Look at somebody and say, it's time for 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.580 you to do your job. Because Deuteronomy 6 talks 00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:21.179 about loving God with all your heart. And then 00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:23.860 it says, when your children get up, give them 00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:25.639 the word. As you go through the day, give them 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.240 the word. When they go to bed at night, give 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.840 them the word. Look at somebody and say, what 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:36.159 the church does is icing on a cake that you baked. 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.879 We're talking about, what I'm really talking 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.279 about is the supernatural process of raising 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.470 children to know Jesus and the Father. Look at 00:15:49.470 --> 00:15:51.570 somebody and say it needs to be naturally supernatural. 00:15:54.029 --> 00:15:56.250 Most of the time when we think of the supernatural, 00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:59.669 we think of it as spectacular and sensational. 00:16:03.830 --> 00:16:07.330 But every time you deny yourself, that's supernatural. 00:16:08.509 --> 00:16:12.309 Every time you take up your cross, that's supernatural. 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.860 You say no to yourself and yes to Jesus, and 00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:19.779 you follow in Jesus' steps. Look at somebody 00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:23.519 and say, that's supernatural. Every time you 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:28.740 let your spouse have the last word. Look at somebody 00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:42.179 and say, that's the supernatural. See, everybody 00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:46.019 say, we talking about supernatural realms. So 00:16:46.019 --> 00:16:47.299 anyway, I just wanted to mention that to you. 00:16:48.519 --> 00:17:00.279 So, yeah, I'll stop there. Except to say, David 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.039 loved God. Actually, it's really interesting. 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.900 If you go back and look at the old covenant, 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.940 go back and look at how many people God said 00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:22.539 that they actually loved him. The Bible says, 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:27.200 David said, I love the Lord. Many reverence God. 00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:32.099 They obeyed God. But David said, I love the Lord. 00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:37.480 Isn't it funny? God will give you a song to get 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:39.319 you to sing what he really wants you to say. 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.480 We will sing stuff, and that's the way God gets 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.339 us to say it. Look at somebody and say, and don't 00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:57.799 lose your song in the desert. Because that's 00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.400 how you're going to cause a sign and a wonder. 00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:03.839 Look at somebody and say, spring up a well. Sing 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.720 to it. Look at somebody and say, he's talking 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:17.079 about the supernatural. So, in the book of Proverbs, 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:20.230 a wisdom book, Solomon says now. You know, my 00:18:20.230 --> 00:18:23.150 mama loved me. Okay, I'm giving you the Bible 00:18:23.150 --> 00:18:26.630 African -American style right now. All right? 00:18:27.230 --> 00:18:30.470 You can do a King James style. You can do a modern 00:18:30.470 --> 00:18:33.130 translation. You can go back to the Hebrew, the 00:18:33.130 --> 00:18:34.890 Paleo, whatever you want to do. Look at somebody 00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:36.970 and say, but it's African -American, black English 00:18:36.970 --> 00:18:43.130 time. He said, now look, my mama loved me, but 00:18:43.130 --> 00:18:46.089 I was my daddy's boy. And daddy said, keep my 00:18:46.089 --> 00:18:49.700 commandments and live. And daddy said. Get wisdom. 00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:53.579 Get understanding. With all you're getting, get 00:18:53.579 --> 00:18:55.279 wisdom understanding. Wisdom is the principal 00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:00.420 thing. So, that's what daddy said. Now, supernatural 00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:02.759 learning. The father of our learning is repetition. 00:19:03.380 --> 00:19:05.720 Repetition is the best teacher. What gets repeated 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.539 is what gets remembered, and what gets repeated 00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:09.619 is what gets reinforced. What gets repeated becomes 00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:12.380 a revelation, and it becomes reality. Then look 00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:16.140 at somebody and say, then it produces. Look at 00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:24.849 somebody and say, get the CD. So Solomon starts 00:19:24.849 --> 00:19:31.569 with what his dad did, which was to worship the 00:19:31.569 --> 00:19:38.970 Lord Almighty. Then he offers a thousand bullocks. 00:19:41.349 --> 00:19:46.130 When you go back to the law, to the Torah, to 00:19:46.130 --> 00:19:48.829 the instruction, to the teaching, the priest 00:19:48.829 --> 00:19:53.859 would put his hand on the bullock. To offer himself. 00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:03.299 So when Solomon offers a thousand books, he's 00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:06.779 offering himself fully and completely on the 00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:11.039 altar. Look at somebody say he's building a altar 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:16.859 for the supernatural. Your first clue of this 00:20:16.859 --> 00:20:20.430 being true in the new covenant. is in Romans 00:20:20.430 --> 00:20:24.529 12 where Paul says, because God's been so good 00:20:24.529 --> 00:20:31.130 to you, present your body a living, a sacrifice 00:20:31.130 --> 00:20:34.309 is to offer up one life in exchange for another. 00:20:34.809 --> 00:20:38.829 Look at somebody and say, for me to live is Christ. 00:20:44.430 --> 00:20:49.200 Do not. Do not be conformed to this world. In 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:50.920 the Greek, it means do not allow yourself to 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:54.619 be forced into the world's fashion plate, but 00:20:54.619 --> 00:20:56.880 be metamorphosized, be transformed by the renewing 00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.359 of your mind. Let your mind be renewed by the 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.299 word of God. And this is that you can prove the 00:21:02.299 --> 00:21:04.099 good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Everybody 00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:07.079 say the right kind of worship and the right kind 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.980 of service. So Solomon is offering himself fully, 00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:15.339 completely a thousand bullocks. I don't know 00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:19.380 how long it took. And when the father saw that 00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:23.720 Solomon was willing to offer worship and service 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.799 and give himself completely, he has a dream and 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.539 God says, whatever you want, because you just 00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:36.799 died on the altar, I'll give it to you. Look 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.480 at somebody say, but the problem is sometimes 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:44.200 we commit sacrilege. Sacrilege means that you 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:50.680 dig up. What you buried after you done put it 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:55.759 to death. Look at somebody say, the Spirit says, 00:21:55.859 --> 00:22:00.500 don't commit sacrilege. Look at somebody say, 00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:06.380 be crucified with Christ, die with Christ, be 00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:08.700 buried with Christ. And look at somebody say, 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:14.180 and let that old man stay dead. And then you're 00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:16.400 resurrected with Christ. Brand new man, right? 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.839 2 Corinthians 5 .17, right? If any man be in 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.720 Christ, he's a new creation. When you really 00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:27.019 break down what it means in the Greek, it means 00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:29.519 to be in the original state. You're something 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.539 that never existed before. Old things are dead 00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:35.019 and passed away. All things have become new. 00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:39.180 In fact, when Paul says in Romans 6, he says, 00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:42.279 reckon yourselves to be dead. You could translate 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.920 that when sin comes to try to tempt you. Act 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:52.440 dead. Look at somebody and say, I wish you would 00:22:52.440 --> 00:23:04.980 act dead. Act dead. Anyway. So, all right. Okay. 00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:09.859 So, the scripture person, who could put scripture 00:23:09.859 --> 00:23:12.740 up there? Wave at me. It's be nice to old people 00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:15.950 day. You have to weigh big. Okay, so I want you 00:23:15.950 --> 00:23:21.089 to put like 1 Peter 2 .21. And then when it's 00:23:21.089 --> 00:23:25.650 up there, you guys say, it's up there. I wonder 00:23:25.650 --> 00:23:29.029 if it will appear there as well as there. It 00:23:29.029 --> 00:23:30.930 will? Oh, that's good. That way I don't have 00:23:30.930 --> 00:23:36.230 to turn around. This is surround word, yeah. 00:23:37.490 --> 00:23:48.099 Surround word. Surround sound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:52.460 This be the scripture. This suffering is part 00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:54.720 of the work God has given you. Christ who suffered 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:56.980 for you is your example. Look at somebody and 00:23:56.980 --> 00:24:00.140 say, the Spirit says, Christ is your example. 00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:03.680 And look at somebody saying, the Spirit says, 00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:07.599 follow in his steps. Now, let me give this to 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:09.579 you in the Greek because, you know, I have a 00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:14.160 little edumacation. It's a wee bit. But this 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.420 word example is the word hupogramos. Everybody 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:24.380 go hoop. Hupogramos. Hupogramos. And, you know, 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.160 you're right. English is this way. Hebrew is 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:28.680 this way. It's a verbal language, 22 letters. 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:33.119 And the picture in the Greek is this. You have 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.039 a teacher who's writing the letters of the alphabet. 00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.500 Catch this. A teacher who's writing the Hebrew 00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:44.259 letters of the alphabet. the word of the Lord. 00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:49.200 You have disciples who are watching the teacher 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:54.319 carefully write the word of the Lord, each letter 00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.660 of the alphabet, and they are, in the Greek, 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:03.019 it means to painstakingly try to write each letter 00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:09.690 of the alphabet exactly like the teacher. The 00:25:09.690 --> 00:25:19.029 supernatural is to follow in Jesus' steps. Give 00:25:19.029 --> 00:25:26.069 me Matthew 28, 18. Look at somebody and say, 00:25:26.130 --> 00:25:35.589 it ain't woo, woo, woo. Look at somebody else 00:25:35.589 --> 00:25:39.140 and say, if it's really supernatural. And it's 00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:42.880 holy. It's practical. Look at somebody say it 00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.359 works in life and it works in ministry. So Jesus 00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:49.640 tells his disciples, I have been given Ecclesia, 00:25:49.819 --> 00:25:52.059 exousia, however you want to say it, who cares? 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:54.240 I've been given all authority in heaven and earth. 00:25:54.319 --> 00:26:03.079 Next verse. Look what he says here. I should 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.859 have just said verse 19, but I wanted you to 00:26:04.859 --> 00:26:10.450 know Jesus was the one talking. But I just made 00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:15.569 extra work for the scripture presenter. Let's 00:26:15.569 --> 00:26:17.970 give him a big hand clap or her or whoever that 00:26:17.970 --> 00:26:24.130 is. Now, go and make disciples of the ethnos, 00:26:24.210 --> 00:26:29.349 the nations. Disciples, teach our nations. This 00:26:29.349 --> 00:26:34.190 here is the word. Everybody go math. Tell you 00:26:34.190 --> 00:26:38.849 who. Let's say it again because I just like. 00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.700 One of the things I've learned is that you don't 00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:44.700 necessarily remember stuff because I said it, 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:46.900 but if I can get you to say it, you got a better 00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:53.460 chance. Everybody go math. Tell you who. The 00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:57.940 concept of math tell you who is, this is the 00:26:57.940 --> 00:27:02.740 concept, to walk with a teacher till you learn 00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:05.059 how to think like the teacher, talk like the 00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:09.720 teacher, act like the teacher. So Jesus, because 00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:13.619 of his fellowship, his relationship, and his 00:27:13.619 --> 00:27:17.160 intimacy with the Father, in the Holy Spirit, 00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:21.779 had a supernatural life. And as a result, a supernatural 00:27:21.779 --> 00:27:28.259 ministry. So I am to learn Jesus. I'm to learn 00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:30.480 the word of the Lord. And I'm to learn how to 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.559 think like Jesus, talk like Jesus, act like Jesus, 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.900 so I can have a Jesus life. and a Jesus ministry. 00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:41.980 Does that make sense? Now, you need to hear me 00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:47.180 because I'm going somewhere. That means that 00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:51.640 Jesus is to be the theme of my life and the theme 00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:56.319 of my ministry. Okay. Let me give you something 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:01.519 in Hebrew as an implication. When Moses said, 00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:07.519 if I have found grace in your sight, God Almighty, 00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:12.380 show me a glory. The father replies, God replies, 00:28:12.819 --> 00:28:16.000 you can't see my face. It's too much for you. 00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:20.900 But I'm going to show you my hand to pause. And 00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:22.519 I'm going to put you in the cleft of the rock. 00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:25.119 And I'm going to pass by and proclaim my nature, 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:31.420 my character, my glory, who I am. I'm going to 00:28:31.420 --> 00:28:34.859 declare what I am, what I will be, what I will 00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:38.619 be. And you're going to see, you're going to 00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:41.680 see behind me. But see what's really, that's 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:43.660 what you read in English. But when you go into 00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:47.759 the Hebrew implication of it, it means that what 00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:56.640 Moses saw was God's history. Look at somebody 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:03.779 say he saw God's story. His story. So when you 00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:08.390 see. his story, you are witness to his glory. 00:29:09.650 --> 00:29:15.150 So when I follow Jesus, I am following his story. 00:29:15.490 --> 00:29:19.650 The closer I follow him, you're able to experience 00:29:19.650 --> 00:29:29.630 and witness his glory. What does that mean? Storyline. 00:29:29.730 --> 00:29:32.170 Everybody say storyline. In every storyline, 00:29:32.289 --> 00:29:36.230 you have what's called a main plot, but you don't 00:29:36.230 --> 00:29:38.789 never have just a main plot unless it's a short 00:29:38.789 --> 00:29:44.009 story. You have, everybody say subplots. Well, 00:29:44.109 --> 00:29:48.849 subplots carry the main plot. Okay. Everybody 00:29:48.849 --> 00:29:53.849 say subplots carry the main plot. Everybody say 00:29:53.849 --> 00:29:58.829 the main plot is the father and Jesus. What does 00:29:58.829 --> 00:30:02.750 that mean? That means healing is a subplot. That's 00:30:02.750 --> 00:30:10.230 to reveal the main plot. That means prophecy 00:30:10.230 --> 00:30:15.230 is a subplot. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit 00:30:15.230 --> 00:30:20.210 of prophecy. Right? Revelations 19 and 10. So, 00:30:20.210 --> 00:30:26.650 I don't major in healing. Look at somebody and 00:30:26.650 --> 00:30:31.240 say, it's a subplot that reveals his story. The 00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:41.599 healer. So deliverance is a subplot, right? So 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.019 what happens to us sometimes is we get caught 00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:49.619 in the subplot and we make the subplot the plot 00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:58.180 of our lives. Now, look at somebody say the main 00:30:58.180 --> 00:31:06.109 thing. These people, they're getting all kinds 00:31:06.109 --> 00:31:11.529 of color tonight. Look at somebody say, the main 00:31:11.529 --> 00:31:16.849 thing is to make the main thing the main thing. 00:31:24.309 --> 00:31:28.150 So even when we talk about supernatural realms, 00:31:28.329 --> 00:31:35.759 let... The realms lead you to the Father and 00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:39.799 to Jesus. Now, is it biblical even to talk about 00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:42.920 supernatural realms? Well, let's turn to Ephesians 00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:52.500 1, verse 3. Ephesians 1, verse 3. Whoo! Let's 00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:58.670 give them a hand clap, boy. That was fast. All 00:31:58.670 --> 00:32:00.910 praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 00:32:01.009 --> 00:32:04.490 who has already, past tense, blessed us with 00:32:04.490 --> 00:32:07.750 every spiritual blessing. And this is an amazing, 00:32:08.009 --> 00:32:12.369 I don't know what version this is, but this is 00:32:12.369 --> 00:32:16.170 pretty good. Because heavenlies in the Greek, 00:32:16.289 --> 00:32:20.769 you could translate it territories, plural, domains, 00:32:21.069 --> 00:32:27.269 plural, or realms, plural. Very accurate. Very 00:32:27.269 --> 00:32:30.410 good. Union with Christ. Look at somebody and 00:32:30.410 --> 00:32:36.990 say, in Jesus, there are multiple realms. So 00:32:36.990 --> 00:32:39.269 now, let me give you one of the principles of 00:32:39.269 --> 00:32:44.490 the supernatural. The revelation that you receive, 00:32:44.809 --> 00:32:48.329 revelation being the word. So whenever I say 00:32:48.329 --> 00:32:50.529 revelation, look at somebody and say, he means 00:32:50.529 --> 00:32:56.789 the word. The written word. Or the Holy Spirit 00:32:56.789 --> 00:33:00.430 word that agrees with the written word. So every 00:33:00.430 --> 00:33:06.329 revelation that you hear, speak, and obey takes 00:33:06.329 --> 00:33:12.930 you into a realm. Because every revelation opens 00:33:12.930 --> 00:33:15.390 up a realm to you. Let me give you an example. 00:33:15.589 --> 00:33:19.670 You already believe this. If I preach to you 00:33:19.670 --> 00:33:22.890 and you're a sinner by nature and choice. That 00:33:22.890 --> 00:33:25.470 you should repent from sin, turn away from and 00:33:25.470 --> 00:33:29.950 turn against sin, and believe into Jesus, and 00:33:29.950 --> 00:33:32.789 receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. When you 00:33:32.789 --> 00:33:36.430 act on that revelation, turn against and from 00:33:36.430 --> 00:33:39.150 sin, and believe into Jesus. When Jesus said, 00:33:39.190 --> 00:33:41.009 he that believes, in Greek it means he that believes 00:33:41.009 --> 00:33:47.269 into. That revelation produces a manifestation. 00:33:48.829 --> 00:33:51.980 When you repent and believe. That revelation 00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:55.559 takes you into a realm where you experience Jesus 00:33:55.559 --> 00:34:06.680 as Lord and Savior. Okay. All right, let me do 00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:10.440 it this way. Give me Mark 16 where it says, go 00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.300 into all the world and preach the gospel. I'll 00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:14.980 actually show it to you, and what I'll do is 00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:21.829 I'll exegete this deal. Whatever it is. I'll 00:34:21.829 --> 00:34:24.230 take all the help I can get if that's what it 00:34:24.230 --> 00:34:28.690 is. I don't know either. That guy's supposed 00:34:28.690 --> 00:34:42.710 to find out for me. If you don't find it pretty 00:34:42.710 --> 00:34:45.750 soon, I'm going to have to find it myself. He 00:34:45.750 --> 00:34:47.230 made me say, Preacher, you're supposed to be 00:34:47.230 --> 00:34:53.239 doing some work around here. Okay, let me find 00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:56.420 it. 15. Ah, very good, very good, very good, 00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:00.579 very good. Yeah, 15. All right, okay. So I'm 00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:02.579 going to start with verse 15. And so Jesus told 00:35:02.579 --> 00:35:04.159 them, he said, go into all the world. Look at 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.539 somebody and say, go. And keep going. Greek word, 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.539 their world is cosmos. Preach is the word charix, 00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:14.699 caruso actually, but it comes from the word charix. 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:20.440 The word charix. By history, was an official 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.039 spokesman of a king. So when a king had a message 00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:25.320 for a person or a people, he would summon the 00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:28.920 chariots. Look at somebody say, Jesus is the 00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:32.900 king. When he got a message for you, he summons 00:35:32.900 --> 00:35:35.849 you into his presence. So the chariots would 00:35:35.849 --> 00:35:37.570 come in with a writing instrument. From the minute 00:35:37.570 --> 00:35:39.510 he enters, he observes the king. He wants to 00:35:39.510 --> 00:35:40.829 look at the temperament of the king, the mood 00:35:40.829 --> 00:35:42.889 of the king. He wants to look at the countenance 00:35:42.889 --> 00:35:44.989 expression of the king because he's taking notes. 00:35:45.110 --> 00:35:47.309 He sits down. He listens to everything what the 00:35:47.309 --> 00:35:49.429 king says. He writes it down, and he's looking 00:35:49.429 --> 00:35:53.230 at the mood. Now, the chariots had to live a 00:35:53.230 --> 00:35:55.969 life that was beyond reproach, both privately 00:35:55.969 --> 00:35:58.250 and publicly, because everything he said and 00:35:58.250 --> 00:36:01.530 did reflected on the king. Look at somebody and 00:36:01.530 --> 00:36:06.050 say, everything you do. Private and public reflects 00:36:06.050 --> 00:36:11.110 on the king. So then when the king gives a message, 00:36:11.150 --> 00:36:13.489 he would stop and let the chariots ask questions, 00:36:13.550 --> 00:36:16.050 and the chariots would get clarification to make 00:36:16.050 --> 00:36:18.489 sure he got the message exactly right. And when 00:36:18.489 --> 00:36:20.070 he went out, he wouldn't add to the message. 00:36:20.110 --> 00:36:22.070 He wouldn't take away from it. Look at somebody 00:36:22.070 --> 00:36:27.070 and say, you're the chariots. So Jesus said, 00:36:27.130 --> 00:36:29.829 preach good news to everyone. The good news is 00:36:29.829 --> 00:36:32.050 Jesus is Lord and Savior. Anyone who believes 00:36:32.050 --> 00:36:34.210 the revelation enters the realm, and they're 00:36:34.210 --> 00:36:37.829 what? Believed and baptized and are what? Saved. 00:36:37.849 --> 00:36:41.630 Because they experience Jesus as the what? Everybody 00:36:41.630 --> 00:36:44.550 say the revelation produces the manifestation. 00:36:45.650 --> 00:36:51.269 Next verse. So then, whoever refuses to believe 00:36:51.269 --> 00:36:53.949 will be condemned. These miraculous signs will 00:36:53.949 --> 00:36:55.449 accompany. In the Greek, it means they'll be 00:36:55.449 --> 00:36:58.840 close by. There'll be nearby those who believe. 00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:00.519 And in the Greek, it means not just to believe. 00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:02.719 It means to believe and keep believing. They 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:04.880 will cast out demons, which means after I preach 00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.320 Jesus as Lord and Savior, I'm supposed to preach 00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:11.139 Jesus as deliverer. And anybody who receives 00:37:11.139 --> 00:37:14.179 that revelation, everybody say the revelation 00:37:14.179 --> 00:37:18.460 produces a manifestation and people get delivered 00:37:18.460 --> 00:37:21.739 from demons. Now, as soon as something leaves, 00:37:22.019 --> 00:37:26.780 we need to fill the space, right? So now I need 00:37:26.780 --> 00:37:28.820 to preach Jesus as the baptizer and the Holy 00:37:28.820 --> 00:37:30.719 Ghost, and they're going to do what? Speak in 00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.860 what? Everybody say the revelation produces a 00:37:34.860 --> 00:37:42.860 manifestation. Notice the revelation you receive 00:37:42.860 --> 00:37:46.820 and walk in determines the realm you live and 00:37:46.820 --> 00:37:52.059 walk in. Look at somebody say you choose the 00:37:52.059 --> 00:37:57.909 realm you live in. Walk in and minister through. 00:38:00.110 --> 00:38:03.369 So then, Jesus is saying here, they'll be able 00:38:03.369 --> 00:38:05.030 to handle snakes with safety. In other words, 00:38:05.030 --> 00:38:07.730 this is not snake handling. Look at somebody 00:38:07.730 --> 00:38:11.510 and say, you're a missionary. You get bit. You're 00:38:11.510 --> 00:38:14.289 protected. What's the message? Jesus is your 00:38:14.289 --> 00:38:19.090 keeper. Jesus is Lord and Savior. Jesus is... 00:38:20.219 --> 00:38:22.820 deliver. Jesus is Holy Ghost baptizer. Jesus 00:38:22.820 --> 00:38:24.860 is your safety, your keeper. If they drink anything 00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:28.719 poisonous, it will not hurt them. Everybody say, 00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.380 Jesus is your keeper. So, when you obey the word, 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:34.679 the revelation, it opens up that realm, and that's 00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.360 what happens in your life. Next verse. They will 00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:39.719 place their hands upon the sick, and by the way, 00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:42.619 this Greek word for sick is a rustos, and you 00:38:42.619 --> 00:38:45.579 could actually say somebody who was actually 00:38:45.579 --> 00:38:48.159 comatose. That's how far it goes in the Greek. 00:38:48.579 --> 00:38:50.460 You'll lay hands on them and they'll be healed. 00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:55.719 Everybody say you preach Jesus as a healer. So 00:38:55.719 --> 00:39:00.019 what does this mean? This means there's degrees 00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:05.480 of the supernatural. I got saved in the Baptist 00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.260 church. Everybody say the Baptist church. Now 00:39:09.260 --> 00:39:12.639 traditional Baptists, they believe Jesus is Lord 00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:14.679 and Savior. That's the revelation that they walk 00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:21.699 in. So that's their manifestation. I got filled 00:39:21.699 --> 00:39:23.079 with the Holy Spirit in the Assembly of God Church. 00:39:24.420 --> 00:39:26.880 So, you know what I'm saying? Everybody say degrees 00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:30.099 of the supernatural. So you can believe in healing, 00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:33.340 and people can get healed of headaches, but that's 00:39:33.340 --> 00:39:38.300 different from the deaf hearing. Everybody say 00:39:38.300 --> 00:39:40.900 it's a different degree. That's different from 00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:42.639 the blind seeing. Everybody say it's a different 00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.300 degree. It's a different degree from the paralysis. 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:49.679 We're talking now, I'm roughing the United States, 00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:55.340 okay, because there's a whole, that's a whole 00:39:55.340 --> 00:39:56.739 other subject, but I'm not going to get into 00:39:56.739 --> 00:40:01.159 that. And then there's a difference between the 00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:03.400 blind seeing, the deaf hearing, the lame walking, 00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:05.679 and the dead coming to life. Does that make sense 00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:10.760 to you? Okay. So, and I've seen Jesus do all 00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:15.639 that. I've seen the dead raised five times. One 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:18.420 time in front of, oh, probably as many people 00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:27.820 as in this section. It was exciting. Every time 00:40:27.820 --> 00:40:30.360 that the dead were raised, God did it a different 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:37.099 way. Yeah, see, yeah. So when I talk to you about 00:40:37.099 --> 00:40:43.829 supernatural realms, I'm not just talking. Okay? 00:40:43.829 --> 00:40:52.809 Because I'm going to leave you alone. I realized 00:40:52.809 --> 00:40:55.750 this woman was dead. Everybody say dead, dead. 00:40:57.030 --> 00:41:01.610 So it was the pastor's wife. So she asked me, 00:41:01.650 --> 00:41:03.230 will you pray for my sister? Because that's who 00:41:03.230 --> 00:41:05.909 it was. No, it was the pastor's wife's sister. 00:41:08.630 --> 00:41:11.190 Her name was, the pastor's wife was named Donzella. 00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:14.719 The woman that was a sister was named Ida. So 00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:16.719 he said, will you pray for my sister? Well, I 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:21.500 ain't got nothing else to do. So I want to see 00:41:21.500 --> 00:41:27.340 if she's really dead. Maybe she's just unconscious. 00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:34.880 So no pulse and no breath. Yep, she's dead. So 00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.420 this is in front of people. So here's my deal. 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:43.059 So what do I do now? That's my question. One 00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:45.400 of the things I've learned is one of the ways 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:47.880 you initiate the supernatural is you ask God 00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:56.039 a question. Okay? When her dead body's right 00:41:56.039 --> 00:42:00.000 here, I don't have the faith for it. When I walk 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.139 over here and she's dead and I said, Lord, what'd 00:42:02.139 --> 00:42:05.280 I do? All of a sudden, I had the faith. He said, 00:42:05.420 --> 00:42:13.670 say, Satan, the Lord God rebuke you. So I said, 00:42:13.789 --> 00:42:16.789 Satan, the Lord God rebuke you. This is where 00:42:16.789 --> 00:42:19.570 I'm coming from. Then the Lord said, put your 00:42:19.570 --> 00:42:23.050 hand on her so that what caused her to die would 00:42:23.050 --> 00:42:26.909 be healed. That's why I brought up the question. 00:42:28.030 --> 00:42:31.809 So I put my hand on her and commanded it to be 00:42:31.809 --> 00:42:39.610 healed. This is the thing that's funny. The Lord 00:42:39.610 --> 00:42:41.960 says to me, You don't even know this woman's 00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:47.500 name. Because I didn't ask her name. So I said, 00:42:47.659 --> 00:42:50.699 what's her name? They said, her name's Ida. The 00:42:50.699 --> 00:42:54.019 Lord said, tell Ida to get up. So I said, Ida, 00:42:54.059 --> 00:42:57.699 get up. And then, look at somebody and say, and 00:42:57.699 --> 00:43:03.280 then the excitement began. Because Ida's stomach 00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:08.500 starts going. Then she gets up. Then her hand's 00:43:08.500 --> 00:43:11.199 in the air. Look at somebody and say, the revelation 00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:16.179 produces the manifestation. And I can tell you 00:43:16.179 --> 00:43:17.940 four others, and they're all different every 00:43:17.940 --> 00:43:21.480 single time. But every single time, there was 00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:28.059 a revelation. You know, you can ask me to, no. 00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:32.340 First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to find 00:43:32.340 --> 00:43:35.559 out two things I need to find out. One, are they 00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:40.460 saved or not? Two, how old are they? Number three, 00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:42.920 I need to find out from the Lord whether he wants 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:46.539 them back. And next, whether they want to come 00:43:46.539 --> 00:43:55.159 back. Because they may not want to. I'm going 00:43:55.159 --> 00:44:01.099 to leave you alone. I have a dear friend of mine. 00:44:01.219 --> 00:44:03.019 I was telling him about my good friend Dean. 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:05.659 He was dead an hour and 45 minutes before his 00:44:05.659 --> 00:44:11.000 wife prayed him back. And he met Jesus. and he 00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:12.760 was trying to convince Jesus to let him stay. 00:44:15.139 --> 00:44:17.559 So Jesus said, no, you have to go back. So what 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:19.860 he does is he walks over to the edge of heaven, 00:44:19.900 --> 00:44:23.679 looks at his body and says, mm -mm. Goes and 00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.380 interviews people around heaven, runs into Jesus 00:44:26.380 --> 00:44:29.159 again. Jesus says, you got to go back. He walks 00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:30.679 over to what we would call the edge of heaven, 00:44:30.739 --> 00:44:34.840 looks and goes, mm -mm. Goes and interviews some 00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.909 more people. Runs into Jesus again because I 00:44:37.909 --> 00:44:42.030 think he believed if maybe if I just keep, if 00:44:42.030 --> 00:44:46.869 I act like the widow woman, I can convince Jesus 00:44:46.869 --> 00:44:50.750 to let me stay. Basically, the message that he 00:44:50.750 --> 00:44:55.769 got was this. Jesus basically said, I need you 00:44:55.769 --> 00:44:58.829 down there. And there was such a force, I got 00:44:58.829 --> 00:45:03.929 to go back. That hour, 45 minutes, totally healed. 00:45:04.949 --> 00:45:08.329 I mean. When they have the physician on the biography 00:45:08.329 --> 00:45:12.309 channel testifying, Dean is really, really dead. 00:45:13.349 --> 00:45:17.269 That means he was brain dead, clinically dead, 00:45:17.329 --> 00:45:19.630 no breath, no pulse, biologically dead because 00:45:19.630 --> 00:45:21.710 his feet were black. The only thing they didn't 00:45:21.710 --> 00:45:24.989 have was papers. Look at somebody and say, that's 00:45:24.989 --> 00:45:30.250 dead. Fully functioning. And look at somebody 00:45:30.250 --> 00:45:44.179 and say, his wife prayed him back. People who've 00:45:44.179 --> 00:45:46.000 been to heaven and have returned, they're just 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:51.380 not normal. We won't mention any names, but they're 00:45:51.380 --> 00:45:53.719 like in the middle of the road, like right here. 00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:07.099 That's so funny. Does it make sense to you? So, 00:46:07.099 --> 00:46:08.920 look at somebody and say, you want to be in the 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:12.079 supernatural. Look at somebody and say, to be 00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:18.639 in the spirit. Now, so, when the Lord Jesus had 00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:20.139 finished talking with them, he was taken up into 00:46:20.139 --> 00:46:21.699 heaven, sat down in a place of honor at God's 00:46:21.699 --> 00:46:25.039 right hand, and he was there at the right hand 00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:27.559 when I saw him. And disciples went everywhere 00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:29.300 and preached, and the Lord worked through them, 00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:33.940 confirming what they said, or everybody said 00:46:33.940 --> 00:46:37.539 they spoke the word, confirming the word with 00:46:37.539 --> 00:46:44.699 signs following. Okay, now, all right, so. I'm 00:46:44.699 --> 00:46:47.940 going to talk a little while longer and then 00:46:47.940 --> 00:46:50.500 we'll shift. Would that be all right? How many 00:46:50.500 --> 00:46:59.719 of you are enjoying the word? Okay. Okay. So 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:08.840 the question is, how can I enter since there's 00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:12.500 multiple realms in Christ Jesus? How do I enter 00:47:12.500 --> 00:47:17.219 other realms in Jesus? Well, let me start by 00:47:17.219 --> 00:47:22.739 saying, what is going to keep you out of it? 00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:28.059 Look at somebody say, he can't tell you everything 00:47:28.059 --> 00:47:33.260 in a single message. So I put notes in my phone 00:47:33.260 --> 00:47:34.940 because I can't hold all this stuff in my head. 00:47:35.780 --> 00:47:39.260 So I'm just going to read it to you. All right. 00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:42.929 So. The world around us is inherently negative. 00:47:43.829 --> 00:47:46.710 And this negativity is in our culture and in 00:47:46.710 --> 00:47:49.550 our environment. And it is something that we 00:47:49.550 --> 00:47:53.849 grew up with and possibly something we grew up 00:47:53.849 --> 00:47:59.289 in. This negativity may have been what we consider 00:47:59.289 --> 00:48:04.969 to be normal. It is the way we have practiced 00:48:04.969 --> 00:48:09.110 thinking and a foundation for our way of life. 00:48:10.730 --> 00:48:13.070 At one time you were in sin and you were called 00:48:13.070 --> 00:48:15.409 a sinner, but Christ died and came to life. You 00:48:15.409 --> 00:48:17.630 repented of sin, believed into Jesus, and you 00:48:17.630 --> 00:48:20.550 were born from above. Everybody say you had a 00:48:20.550 --> 00:48:25.690 supernatural birth. According to the book of 00:48:25.690 --> 00:48:28.570 Romans chapter six, the word of God says that 00:48:28.570 --> 00:48:32.030 you are crucified with Christ, that you died 00:48:32.030 --> 00:48:36.119 with Christ, right? Okay. The scripture is clear 00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.739 that you were resurrected with Christ and in 00:48:38.739 --> 00:48:40.619 the realm of the spirit, even though your feet 00:48:40.619 --> 00:48:44.619 are on earth, you are seated with Christ next 00:48:44.619 --> 00:48:46.880 to the right hand of God. Look at somebody say 00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:53.579 you in heaven already. Now says you were crucified 00:48:53.579 --> 00:48:56.480 with Christ and you died with Christ. Your sin 00:48:56.480 --> 00:49:00.059 nature be dead. So according to the word of God, 00:49:00.099 --> 00:49:03.150 right? You really don't have a sin nature. Look 00:49:03.150 --> 00:49:04.869 at somebody say you're a partaker of righteousness. 00:49:06.710 --> 00:49:08.769 Look at somebody say you have the righteous nature 00:49:08.769 --> 00:49:11.210 of Christ. I'm talking about your human spirits 00:49:11.210 --> 00:49:13.289 born again. I ain't talking about your soul. 00:49:14.389 --> 00:49:16.429 Look at somebody say you don't have a sin nature, 00:49:16.550 --> 00:49:23.190 but you probably got a sin habit. A sin habit 00:49:23.190 --> 00:49:27.269 is not the same thing as a sin nature. My human 00:49:27.269 --> 00:49:30.670 spirit. has a righteous nature, the life of God 00:49:30.670 --> 00:49:34.349 is within it. But because I ain't learned how 00:49:34.349 --> 00:49:38.269 to think right, I have a sin habit. Look at somebody 00:49:38.269 --> 00:49:41.690 say a sin habit is not the same thing as a sin 00:49:41.690 --> 00:49:46.369 nature. That's why you got to have your mind 00:49:46.369 --> 00:49:49.090 renewed by the word of God. So you have a sin 00:49:49.090 --> 00:49:51.250 habit and look at somebody and smile and say, 00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:54.510 and look at somebody smile and say, and habits 00:49:54.510 --> 00:49:59.389 can be broken. So in Jesus, you have a righteous 00:49:59.389 --> 00:50:02.510 nature in your spirit, the nature of God, but 00:50:02.510 --> 00:50:05.730 it's difficult for you to access it, access it 00:50:05.730 --> 00:50:08.750 with the wrong kind of thinking. And because 00:50:08.750 --> 00:50:12.250 if you're still having old thinking, you're going 00:50:12.250 --> 00:50:14.670 to participate in old habits. Look at somebody 00:50:14.670 --> 00:50:16.030 say, you're going to have to have some heavenly 00:50:16.030 --> 00:50:21.190 thinking to activate your heavenly nature and 00:50:21.190 --> 00:50:25.769 walk in it for the glory of God. Look at somebody 00:50:25.769 --> 00:50:30.449 say, you get the CD. Now, you need to hear me. 00:50:31.170 --> 00:50:35.670 When you had a sin nature, you had the nature 00:50:35.670 --> 00:50:41.550 of negativity. But your spirit has been brought 00:50:41.550 --> 00:50:47.750 to life in Christ Jesus. So your spirit, Jesus 00:50:47.750 --> 00:50:49.650 is the righteousness. You have the life, the 00:50:49.650 --> 00:50:53.389 Zoe life of God in it. But in areas where your 00:50:53.389 --> 00:50:57.559 mind has not been renewed by the word. Look at 00:50:57.559 --> 00:50:59.579 somebody and say, you have some negative thinking. 00:51:06.780 --> 00:51:09.460 So I've been saved from the nature of negativity. 00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:13.219 But unless my mind is renewed by the word of 00:51:13.219 --> 00:51:15.860 God, I can still practice the habits of negativity. 00:51:16.820 --> 00:51:20.800 So the more you practice negative thinking, the 00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:22.800 more negativity you're going to have in your 00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:28.150 life. Look at somebody and say, how do you think 00:51:28.150 --> 00:51:32.449 that preacher knows? Look at somebody and say, 00:51:32.510 --> 00:51:37.829 I bet he knows because he's been there. So a 00:51:37.829 --> 00:51:40.929 spirit of darkness will feed your negative thinking. 00:51:41.750 --> 00:51:45.030 And as you think negatively, you attract negativity 00:51:45.030 --> 00:51:47.170 in your life and things turn out negatively. 00:51:48.989 --> 00:51:51.070 Look at somebody and say, there's always a relationship 00:51:51.070 --> 00:51:57.150 between the negativity in your mind. And in your 00:51:57.150 --> 00:52:01.650 life, why do I bring this up? Because your self 00:52:01.650 --> 00:52:06.530 -negativity particularly will block your ability 00:52:06.530 --> 00:52:12.409 to access the supernatural life that Jesus has 00:52:12.409 --> 00:52:18.210 already purchased for you. Because you won't 00:52:18.210 --> 00:52:21.070 let yourself go there because you got this guilt 00:52:21.070 --> 00:52:29.400 thing going on. Now, I'm not talking about negative 00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:33.099 events that happen in your life. Look at somebody 00:52:33.099 --> 00:52:38.300 saying, you on earth. Okay, we're talking about 00:52:38.300 --> 00:52:43.840 pessimism, cynicism. How many of you heard where 00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:48.199 I'm coming from? Okay, so negativity comes into 00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:50.219 your life and stays there. If it comes into your 00:52:50.219 --> 00:52:52.579 life and stays there, check the negativity in 00:52:52.579 --> 00:52:55.199 your mind that maintains the negativity in your 00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:58.489 life. Look at somebody and say, because negativity 00:52:58.489 --> 00:53:05.409 needs maintenance. See, they never saw us coming. 00:53:06.329 --> 00:53:07.769 They didn't know I was going to call them to 00:53:07.769 --> 00:53:11.289 repent tonight. Look at somebody and say, you 00:53:11.289 --> 00:53:15.230 might could use a little bit of that. So if you 00:53:15.230 --> 00:53:17.349 do not like the negativity in your life, look 00:53:17.349 --> 00:53:19.329 at the negativity in your mind that brought you 00:53:19.329 --> 00:53:24.469 there. Look at somebody and say, okay, let me 00:53:24.469 --> 00:53:27.159 say it to you like this. You are the thinker 00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:30.099 that thinks the thoughts that creates the things 00:53:30.099 --> 00:53:36.579 in your life. You are the thinker that thinks 00:53:36.579 --> 00:53:39.059 the thoughts that creates the things in your 00:53:39.059 --> 00:53:43.440 life. So all you got to do is have another thought. 00:53:46.219 --> 00:53:47.880 Okay, let me say it to you. I'm going to talk 00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:52.079 just to the women. Whether you're married or 00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.900 not. Okay, first, let's go with the single ones. 00:53:55.610 --> 00:53:57.630 All the single women, raise your hands. And that 00:53:57.630 --> 00:54:00.010 single, divorced, raise your hands high. Be nice 00:54:00.010 --> 00:54:04.349 to old people a month. Okay. Keep your hands 00:54:04.349 --> 00:54:07.050 up. Keep your right hand up. How many of y 'all 00:54:07.050 --> 00:54:10.269 got an ex -boyfriend somewhere in the past? Raise 00:54:10.269 --> 00:54:13.070 your other hand. Raise them up. Raise them up. 00:54:13.070 --> 00:54:16.750 Raise them up. Do you want to know why that boy 00:54:16.750 --> 00:54:19.090 has an ex? Because you quit thinking about him. 00:54:25.579 --> 00:54:29.539 Because one day you said to yourself, self, what 00:54:29.539 --> 00:54:42.380 was you? I rest my case. Now you need to hear 00:54:42.380 --> 00:54:44.420 me because I'm really going somewhere. The practice 00:54:44.420 --> 00:54:48.059 of self negativity is not the way of heaven. 00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:54.480 Now I'm not talking about disregarding flaws. 00:54:55.809 --> 00:54:57.949 weaknesses, defects of character, or personal 00:54:57.949 --> 00:55:02.469 sins. I'm not talking about that. Do you hear 00:55:02.469 --> 00:55:05.110 what I'm saying? I'm talking about you're loving 00:55:05.110 --> 00:55:07.929 God, you're obeying God, but you're still down 00:55:07.929 --> 00:55:11.610 on yourself. Do you hear what I'm saying to you? 00:55:17.570 --> 00:55:19.849 So the practice of negativity is not the way 00:55:19.849 --> 00:55:21.250 of heaven, it's the way of the spirit of the 00:55:21.250 --> 00:55:24.150 age, it's of the earth. So the spirit of negativity, 00:55:24.409 --> 00:55:26.710 the mindset of negativity, the practice of self 00:55:26.710 --> 00:55:29.769 -negativity is not in heaven. It does not exist 00:55:29.769 --> 00:55:33.889 there. You cannot walk in the mindset and practice 00:55:33.889 --> 00:55:40.289 of negativity and expect positive results. The 00:55:40.289 --> 00:55:42.989 mindset and practice of negativity only has the 00:55:42.989 --> 00:55:45.210 power to produce negative results, outcomes. 00:55:45.949 --> 00:55:49.230 Everybody say heavenly thinking, the mind of 00:55:49.230 --> 00:55:54.070 Christ, heavenly practices. Holiness and obedience 00:55:54.070 --> 00:55:59.250 attracts the angels of God and heavenly outcomes. 00:56:00.829 --> 00:56:04.250 Now, I'm not going to be able to finish because 00:56:04.250 --> 00:56:07.110 I never get done. I just have to quit. Let me 00:56:07.110 --> 00:56:10.429 just say that there's a statement. When you have 00:56:10.429 --> 00:56:12.269 the mind of Christ, you realize that every problem 00:56:12.269 --> 00:56:14.349 has a promise and a provision attached to it. 00:56:15.190 --> 00:56:18.050 So God can manifest himself and make you an overcomer 00:56:18.050 --> 00:56:21.030 through his son, Jesus. Now, I have to demonstrate 00:56:21.030 --> 00:56:32.739 this. Here's what I want to do. I need you, you, 00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:41.519 and you. Woman in the middle, men on either side. 00:56:42.019 --> 00:56:44.800 Come up here and stand and look good. You get 00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:48.760 to be in the middle. He's on that side. You're 00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:50.780 on this side. Now stand up here and look good, 00:56:50.780 --> 00:56:54.139 y 'all. Because whenever I call you to the front, 00:56:54.239 --> 00:57:00.659 you're always supposed to look good. Ready? Everybody 00:57:00.659 --> 00:57:05.980 say promise. Problem. Provision. What I'm giving 00:57:05.980 --> 00:57:11.760 you now is a supernatural pattern. Promise. Let's 00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:16.639 do it English. Your name is promise. Say your 00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:20.940 name. Promise. Your name is problem. Problem. 00:57:24.070 --> 00:57:27.909 Sorry, somebody's got to be the problem. Your 00:57:27.909 --> 00:57:34.130 name is Provision? Provision. Okay. So in Genesis 00:57:34.130 --> 00:57:38.630 37, God gives Joseph a promise. The sun, your 00:57:38.630 --> 00:57:40.929 dad, the moon, your mother, the 11 stars, your 00:57:40.929 --> 00:57:43.929 brothers will bow down to you. Everybody say 00:57:43.929 --> 00:57:50.449 promise. Everybody say birth of a vision. Everybody 00:57:50.449 --> 00:57:54.949 say faith. Everybody say revelation. Everybody 00:57:54.949 --> 00:58:02.510 say. Problem. As soon as he gets the promise, 00:58:02.710 --> 00:58:07.469 he finds himself in a pit. Now, these brothers 00:58:07.469 --> 00:58:09.829 are Jewish. Ain't no money in that. So they sell 00:58:09.829 --> 00:58:11.409 that brother into slavery. Let's at least make 00:58:11.409 --> 00:58:18.250 some money off of this guy. My pastor is a Jewish 00:58:18.250 --> 00:58:22.110 believer in Jesus. That's not a slam. That's 00:58:22.110 --> 00:58:24.070 really a compliment. Look at somebody and say, 00:58:24.130 --> 00:58:28.130 you need to be making some money. Everybody say, 00:58:28.190 --> 00:58:33.409 give tithes and offerings. So immediately he 00:58:33.409 --> 00:58:35.289 has a revelation. That's the birth of a vision. 00:58:35.369 --> 00:58:40.150 That's faith. He goes into a pit and then they 00:58:40.150 --> 00:58:42.309 sell the brother into slavery. Everybody say, 00:58:42.429 --> 00:58:46.150 big problem. Everybody say, death of a vision. 00:58:47.050 --> 00:58:52.440 Because I want you to understand. That here, 00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:56.039 when he has this dream, this is a God encounter. 00:58:59.420 --> 00:59:04.619 The God encounter is a promise. But almost immediately 00:59:04.619 --> 00:59:09.219 after the God encounter, everybody say, the pits. 00:59:10.300 --> 00:59:15.599 Everybody say, the promise. The pits. This is 00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:17.760 the death of the vision where your life is the 00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:21.440 opposite of what's promised. Everybody say encounter. 00:59:21.980 --> 00:59:28.519 Encounter. Process. Process. Everybody say provision. 00:59:29.059 --> 00:59:31.360 Provision. Everybody say the resurrection of 00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:33.880 the vision. Resurrection of the vision. The fulfillment 00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:36.059 of the promise. The fulfillment of the promise. 00:59:36.219 --> 00:59:39.079 Watch. Everybody say revelation. Revelation. 00:59:39.539 --> 00:59:42.360 Birth of a vision. Birth of a vision. Faith. 00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:46.880 Faith. Everybody say God encounter. God encounter. 00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:51.469 Everybody say the pit. The slavery, the prison, 00:59:51.690 --> 00:59:57.010 the death of the vision, frustration, and hope. 01:00:01.789 --> 01:00:06.210 Everybody say resurrection of the vision. Everybody 01:00:06.210 --> 01:00:13.170 say love, fulfillment, a new God encounter. Because 01:00:13.170 --> 01:00:15.269 he gets accused of a crime he didn't commit, 01:00:15.389 --> 01:00:17.349 he gets thrown into prison, he interprets two 01:00:17.349 --> 01:00:19.929 dreams, and God gives him a butler, a baker, 01:00:19.989 --> 01:00:28.190 and a pharaoh. If you will forgive the people 01:00:28.190 --> 01:00:34.769 who put you in the pit, spoke out of the spirit 01:00:34.769 --> 01:00:38.429 of the accuser of the brothers and sisters, and 01:00:38.429 --> 01:00:42.619 put you into slavery and prison, If you'll forgive 01:00:42.619 --> 01:00:46.280 them. Everybody say the process. Everybody say 01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:49.199 God's working something out and he's working 01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:53.260 something in. Then you'll get a greater God encounter. 01:00:55.380 --> 01:00:59.300 Everybody say resurrection of the vision. Now 01:00:59.300 --> 01:01:02.539 the reason I'm bringing this up to you because 01:01:02.539 --> 01:01:11.489 it's a supernatural pattern. Moses has a promise. 01:01:11.809 --> 01:01:16.489 Somehow he knows when he's 40 years of age, he's 01:01:16.489 --> 01:01:19.449 going to be a deliverer. He tries it on his own. 01:01:20.289 --> 01:01:24.409 He gets ahead of God. Everybody say wilderness. 01:01:25.829 --> 01:01:29.110 Forty years. Birth of a vision, death of a vision. 01:01:29.130 --> 01:01:33.670 Everybody say faith. Revelation. Birth of a vision. 01:01:34.050 --> 01:01:38.349 Everybody say problem. Frustration. Failure. 01:01:40.349 --> 01:01:43.250 Hope. Then he has a theophany, a God manifestation. 01:01:43.349 --> 01:01:47.269 Everybody say resurrection of a vision. Fulfillment. 01:01:47.869 --> 01:01:50.769 Love. Remember Joseph, when he got over here, 01:01:50.889 --> 01:01:52.849 he forgave his brothers and he loved his brothers. 01:01:53.690 --> 01:01:57.329 Moses loved the sons of Israel so much, he said, 01:01:57.449 --> 01:02:00.309 blot me out of the book. He was so much like 01:02:00.309 --> 01:02:07.110 Jesus. Watch this. Jesus comes upon the scene 01:02:07.110 --> 01:02:10.019 of time. They see him as the Messiah. Everybody 01:02:10.019 --> 01:02:16.199 say promise. Problem. Provision. Resurrection. 01:02:16.300 --> 01:02:18.900 Here you have the birth of a vision. He's the 01:02:18.900 --> 01:02:23.159 Messiah. But then he's crucified. Everybody say 01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:26.099 death of a vision. Everybody say three days later. 01:02:27.460 --> 01:02:31.480 Fulfillment of the vision. Why do I bring this 01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:34.639 up? I want to let you know. Everybody say encounter. 01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:40.760 Process. Another encounter. Okay, so now let 01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:42.420 me share this with you and then we're going to 01:02:42.420 --> 01:02:46.860 close. So it's the end of 97, beginning of 98, 01:02:47.039 --> 01:02:51.840 and Jesus appears to me. And he lets me know 01:02:51.840 --> 01:02:56.219 that I'm going to go through something and it's 01:02:56.219 --> 01:03:00.139 going to hurt. And I let him know in the clearest 01:03:00.139 --> 01:03:15.409 possible terms, I'm not interested. Everybody 01:03:15.409 --> 01:03:24.690 say God encounter. This is what's... He looks 01:03:24.690 --> 01:03:26.929 at me face to face like this. He whispers in 01:03:26.929 --> 01:03:28.409 my ear and he lets me know it's still going to 01:03:28.409 --> 01:03:30.070 happen. He stands back, looks at me, and he's 01:03:30.070 --> 01:03:37.110 gone. He gone. And then he... See, this one's 01:03:37.110 --> 01:03:39.610 funny, God's humor. He knows that I know if God 01:03:39.610 --> 01:03:41.210 says it twice, look at somebody and say, it's 01:03:41.210 --> 01:03:44.659 going to happen. Okay, now let me tell you this 01:03:44.659 --> 01:03:47.480 whole thing from my perspective. Okay, you got 01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:49.199 to understand a little bit about my background. 01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:52.340 This is when I found out that God was a godfather, 01:03:52.460 --> 01:03:59.239 and the Holy Ghost was a hitman, and God the 01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:04.480 Father put a contract out on my carnality. Look 01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:07.519 at somebody and say, you can run, but you can't 01:04:07.519 --> 01:04:15.369 hide from the Holy Ghost hitman. So I would like 01:04:15.369 --> 01:04:19.489 to tell you that when I was in the process, that 01:04:19.489 --> 01:04:21.989 I lifted up my hands and I said, all to Jesus, 01:04:22.090 --> 01:04:30.610 I surrender. No, I squealed like a pig. I did 01:04:30.610 --> 01:04:34.570 not go gently into that good night. I acted like 01:04:34.570 --> 01:04:39.789 a Gentile, the Gentile that I am. And it was 01:04:39.789 --> 01:04:42.829 like God the Father was saying, I got to come. 01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:45.619 contract out on your carnality, I'm going to 01:04:45.619 --> 01:04:56.400 kill you. And there wasn't nothing I could do 01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:04.019 about it. I resisted it. I fought it. And I died 01:05:04.019 --> 01:05:12.360 painfully and got resurrected. And my whole life 01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:22.539 changed. And then I was very happy. Because God's 01:05:22.539 --> 01:05:25.139 sense of humor was this. You know, because you 01:05:25.139 --> 01:05:27.619 don't find out that when you get to heaven, God's 01:05:27.619 --> 01:05:31.000 really got a sense of humor. It's like, this 01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:34.019 old boy don't know what's good for him. So I'm 01:05:34.019 --> 01:05:36.500 going to ignore his resistance. This thing's 01:05:36.500 --> 01:05:38.059 going to happen. But when he gets on the other 01:05:38.059 --> 01:05:39.599 side, he's going to be so happy he went through 01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:43.710 it. He's going to really have some joy. So the 01:05:43.710 --> 01:05:48.570 Lord knows when to ignore you. It's one of the 01:05:48.570 --> 01:05:54.110 secrets to a long marriage. You need to know 01:05:54.110 --> 01:06:04.130 when to ignore your spouse. Okay, I'm trying 01:06:04.130 --> 01:06:07.070 to close. Let me tell you how crazy we get when 01:06:07.070 --> 01:06:10.579 we're in the flesh. All of us. I don't care how 01:06:10.579 --> 01:06:12.679 saved, filled with the Holy Spirit we are. Sometimes 01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:16.579 we act like that guy, that commercial. You need 01:06:16.579 --> 01:06:27.800 a Snickers? My wife has this song that she loves. 01:06:27.860 --> 01:06:31.280 It's called A Little More Jesus. It's not that 01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:33.599 she needs a little more Jesus for herself. She 01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:35.599 needs a little more Jesus because she lives with 01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:47.440 me. You can really relate to that. I need a little 01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:58.639 more of you, Jesus, today. Most of the problems 01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:02.639 is me. Oh, yeah, most of the problems is me. 01:07:04.599 --> 01:07:07.900 I just admit it. The wrong issues with a lot 01:07:07.900 --> 01:07:09.079 of these other brothers, I don't want to admit 01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:12.760 it. Most of the problems is us. It's rarely the 01:07:12.760 --> 01:07:16.760 woman. Say it again. Say it again. Say it out 01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:19.679 loud so everybody can hear you. Say, listen to 01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:28.360 him. Listen to him, honey. She just spoke for 01:07:28.360 --> 01:07:34.579 a whole congregation. Now, listen. Okay, you 01:07:34.579 --> 01:07:36.199 can take me too seriously. I don't even take 01:07:36.199 --> 01:07:38.699 myself too seriously. Look at somebody and say, 01:07:38.739 --> 01:07:45.230 quit taking yourself so seriously. need to quit 01:07:45.230 --> 01:07:48.110 taking other folks so seriously? Oh, they just 01:07:48.110 --> 01:07:54.070 need a Snickers. When your spouse has lost their 01:07:54.070 --> 01:07:55.989 mind and can't find it, they just need a Snickers. 01:07:56.070 --> 01:07:58.510 Just wait upon the Lord and worship the Lord. 01:07:58.570 --> 01:08:04.690 They'll come to themselves. Man, I've been married 01:08:04.690 --> 01:08:08.449 almost 40 years. You think I don't know I got 01:08:08.449 --> 01:08:11.730 issues? I had issues before I met the sister. 01:08:12.010 --> 01:08:16.960 Got issues now? When I leave here, I'll still 01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:19.460 have issues. When I go through the river of life, 01:08:19.579 --> 01:08:22.319 I'll lose my issues. I'll be all right. Look 01:08:22.319 --> 01:08:23.539 at somebody and say, he'll be all right then. 01:08:27.340 --> 01:08:31.819 Let's give the problem and the promise and the 01:08:31.819 --> 01:08:34.039 provision a big hand clap. Thank you, y 'all. 01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:41.420 Why did I bring this up? I want to encourage 01:08:41.420 --> 01:08:44.859 you. That regardless of where you are in this 01:08:44.859 --> 01:08:56.260 continuum, God is faithful. He's faithful. He 01:08:56.260 --> 01:09:02.560 brought me through it successfully because he's 01:09:02.560 --> 01:09:09.600 faithful. Not because of my faith. Oh, I would 01:09:09.600 --> 01:09:11.100 love to be able to tell you it was my faith. 01:09:11.860 --> 01:09:17.520 Look at somebody saying it was his faith. Look 01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:20.659 at somebody saying whatever faith you got, it's 01:09:20.659 --> 01:09:24.680 not really yours. Romans 12 .3, God has given 01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:27.279 to each one of you a measure. Look at somebody 01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:28.960 saying whatever faith you got, it came from God. 01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:35.859 So I want to encourage you tonight. Whether you're 01:09:35.859 --> 01:09:37.579 in the birth of the vision, the revelation, and 01:09:37.579 --> 01:09:40.340 the faith. The death of the vision where you 01:09:40.340 --> 01:09:42.119 have hope that you can't even see your way out. 01:09:42.220 --> 01:09:44.079 And you're in frustration and you're experiencing 01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:46.579 one problem after the other. Or you're in the 01:09:46.579 --> 01:09:49.359 resurrection of the vision where you're seeing 01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:52.739 the fulfillment of what God promised. And there's 01:09:52.739 --> 01:09:55.720 supernatural provision everywhere there. That 01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:59.659 if you'll just walk with the Father and Jesus 01:09:59.659 --> 01:10:05.380 through the process, you're going to find out 01:10:05.380 --> 01:10:10.029 that Ephesians 3 .20 is really true. that he 01:10:10.029 --> 01:10:15.689 will do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond 01:10:15.689 --> 01:10:21.689 all that you can ask or think through the power 01:10:21.689 --> 01:10:33.869 of the Holy Spirit.
