WEBVTT 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.699 I tell you what, this weekend, you know, when 00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:21.280 you go around ministering like I do, you hardly 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.320 ever get a chance to really get ministered to. 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.940 And this weekend, I got ministered to, Brother 00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:37.039 Tony. You really ministered to me. And, you know, 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.880 with Pastor Brad and his team and his family. 00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:44.659 It's just such a phenomenal atmosphere. You know 00:00:44.659 --> 00:00:47.920 that. This is your home. And what is happening 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.179 here, this church is nothing less than spectacular, 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.820 not because of what he's done, but what the Lord 00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:00.140 has done, you know. And I was sitting there thinking, 00:01:00.219 --> 00:01:05.219 you know, that success breeds jealousy. It does. 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.859 so aware over the last few years of extreme levels 00:01:12.859 --> 00:01:16.879 of jealousy that has been directed against this 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:22.739 ministry, this man and his family. You know, 00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:27.500 jealousy to the point of, you know, you've noticed 00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:31.040 it with President Trump, how the jealousy against, 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.379 you know, the anger that comes with that kind 00:01:34.379 --> 00:01:38.319 of a jealousy is just incredible. While that 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.099 was happening here, the jealousy, I've watched 00:01:41.099 --> 00:01:46.159 God turn that jealousy into nothing. I mean, 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.879 come on, can I hear an amen? Into nothing. And 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.379 so what happens, you know, it's like I said on 00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:58.040 the first part of the service here this weekend, 00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:03.700 that God has already instructed this land to 00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:10.419 yield. The harvest. The land will yield the harvest. 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.240 There'll be no jealousy, no one, and some of 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.199 it comes from top levels elsewhere. None of those 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.539 can affect it because God has given a commanded 00:02:21.539 --> 00:02:24.500 blessing, and that commanded blessing stands. 00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:31.800 Go ahead and praise him. It stands. You know, 00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:36.500 every time that I have been here, Over these 00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:42.099 last few years, God produced something in my 00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:46.340 spirit. And no less than four different times, 00:02:46.419 --> 00:02:51.539 it was a book. I enjoy writing. But three different 00:02:51.539 --> 00:02:56.159 complete books have been birthed in my spirit 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.360 right here in Harrisburg. You know, come on, 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.099 just give the Lord a praise offering. It's just 00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:08.740 been phenomenal. The last one that I did was 00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:11.080 this one here. In fact, we just released it. 00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:15.199 It's called So Many Dads But Not Many Fathers. 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.939 It's just a phenomenal subject that I believe 00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:23.099 that every family really needs to get their hands 00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:27.680 on. It is such an onslaught against the families 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.300 because that's where the strength lies. Strong 00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:36.000 family, strong church. Strong church, strong 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:41.439 country. And so we just need to absolutely close 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.860 the doors against the enemy. You have no right 00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:48.939 in my home. Me and my house, we are going to 00:03:48.939 --> 00:03:55.800 serve the Lord. Go ahead and praise him. We also, 00:03:55.979 --> 00:03:58.879 I've shared my testimony last night, or part 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.780 of it, and I have it in book form. You want to, 00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:03.900 you know, the reason why you want to do that 00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:07.639 is sometimes somebody is struggling. And I wrote 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:11.259 it as thin as I possibly could. Yeah, I'm serious, 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.520 because people don't like reading long, big, 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:16.920 thick books. And so I put this and made it very 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.300 factual, gave it to my doctor and asked him to 00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:24.990 edit it. Because he's the one that worked with 00:04:24.990 --> 00:04:28.569 me. This is really a remarkable testimony of 00:04:28.569 --> 00:04:32.240 the supernatural touch of God. You want to get 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.319 a copy of that and take it home with you. You 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.379 know, also people have asked me through the years, 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.060 please put some of your stories in book form. 00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:42.680 And when I did, it just prompted, you know, another 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.139 one and another one. This is the first one that 00:04:45.139 --> 00:04:47.180 I did. It's there on the table. And I think I 00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:49.939 have the second one in there also. It's called 00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:52.300 You Won't Believe This. And the other one, It's 00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:54.680 Hard to Believe It. You know, something like 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.300 that. I wrote it as bathroom reading material. 00:04:59.050 --> 00:05:04.189 You know, short stories, you know, just a compilation 00:05:04.189 --> 00:05:07.310 of short stories. And I'm telling you, it's good 00:05:07.310 --> 00:05:10.750 for your health. You know, really, as you sit 00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:13.709 there and read it, everything else is going to 00:05:13.709 --> 00:05:20.490 happen the way it's supposed to. A release, a 00:05:20.490 --> 00:05:28.500 total release, you know. So the last one. You 00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:32.720 know, some of you have read the book, You Won't 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.339 Believe This, excuse me, The Naked Prisoner. 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.519 And The Naked Prisoner have been such, excuse 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.939 me for saying that, but such a hit. People have 00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:46.180 said over and over, it's got to become a movie. 00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:51.220 And so I've tried. I mean, I've tried every available 00:05:51.220 --> 00:05:54.300 chance I could get to get somebody in Hollywood 00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:57.480 to be interested. Just finally just gave up. 00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:02.220 Until early last year, Hollywood contacted me. 00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:11.939 And so what they did is somebody sent this man 00:06:11.939 --> 00:06:15.240 a book. Greg Miller is the producer of Immersion. 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.500 They're the people that was partly involved or 00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:22.740 mostly involved in producing the movie God is 00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:24.480 Not Dead. How many of you have seen that movie, 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.860 God is Not Dead? And so they just signed contract 00:06:27.860 --> 00:06:31.420 with me to make a movie. This is Greg Miller 00:06:31.420 --> 00:06:34.459 right there, you know. Greg Miller Productions. 00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:39.459 And give me the other one, the other slide. Is 00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:42.660 there, yeah. That's, can you scroll down on that? 00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:46.360 That's Emerging Productions. And the thing is 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.220 based on a true story. Now, go down, if you will. 00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:52.480 Down, I don't know. Yeah, those are the actors. 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.899 They've already signed up. You know, Morgan Freeman. 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:05.720 He's not going to play me. Chris Pratt on the 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.480 left, he's the only one that they have not finalized 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.420 it with yet, but it seems very possible that 00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:16.620 they're going to use him to play me. And that's 00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:25.819 acceptable. And the one on the right is going 00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:30.079 to be the one that plays Bessie. And I'm glad 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.819 I'm not doing the acting. You know, she's really 00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:37.079 pretty. And all of these people are really sensitive 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:41.860 to the message of the cross. And Chris Pratt 00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:46.430 especially. I picked him. because I think it'll 00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:49.329 be really ideal. Give me the next slide, just 00:07:49.329 --> 00:07:52.689 to show you the environment of the area, you 00:07:52.689 --> 00:07:55.149 know, that it's going to be a very adventurous 00:07:55.149 --> 00:07:59.730 movie. And so can you give me the one with the 00:07:59.730 --> 00:08:05.129 e -mail for Greg Miller? I gave you the e -mail. 00:08:07.170 --> 00:08:15.399 Yes? Greg Miller? Okay, while he's working on 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.779 that, let me just say, the reason I want to give 00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:20.800 you the email, I would love for you to take down 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.839 the email, and if they don't find it, can you 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.459 please make an effort to find that email? And 00:08:26.459 --> 00:08:28.939 this is what I want you to do. Since they are 00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:33.220 going to obviously have to work on raising a 00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:35.299 lot of money, there it is, it's going to be a 00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:37.480 lot of money that they raise for the production 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:43.639 of this movie, like $60 million. It's very important 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.679 that I have people write in and let these people 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.720 know that you heard, and I want you to do it 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.539 in your own words, that you heard about this 00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:57.500 upcoming movie, how excited you are, and you 00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:00.539 can hardly wait. Just let God use you. Short, 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.840 just short emails. Write it to that if you don't 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.659 mind. I would so appreciate that. Finally, I 00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:09.559 just want to say, you know, Pastor Brad and... 00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:12.350 Pastor Jenny has been so gracious in the past 00:09:12.350 --> 00:09:16.669 to allow us to ask for partners to partner with 00:09:16.669 --> 00:09:18.769 us. And I'm not doing that this morning. But 00:09:18.769 --> 00:09:22.529 I want to just say thank you. I use this opportunity 00:09:22.529 --> 00:09:24.970 to say thank you to those that have partnered 00:09:24.970 --> 00:09:30.090 with us. Please don't stop. We need your help 00:09:30.090 --> 00:09:32.230 as much as we possibly can. And I'll tell you 00:09:32.230 --> 00:09:34.850 one of the reasons we do that is because we go 00:09:34.850 --> 00:09:39.090 to a lot of very small churches. I do not want 00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:41.669 to be in the trap of only going to big churches 00:09:41.669 --> 00:09:45.409 for the sake of money. But we have a budget to 00:09:45.409 --> 00:09:49.710 cover. And so if you can, please continue with 00:09:49.710 --> 00:09:51.690 that. If you feel like you want to partner with 00:09:51.690 --> 00:09:55.809 us, I'll be at the table to sign books there. 00:09:56.230 --> 00:10:01.090 And by the way, once I sign that book, I mean, 00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:08.149 it becomes very valuable. I'll be at the tape 00:10:08.149 --> 00:10:13.070 table to sign some books. If the movie book has 00:10:13.070 --> 00:10:17.029 sold out, please go ahead and pay for the book, 00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:19.929 and we'll ship it here to the church free of 00:10:19.929 --> 00:10:23.429 charge. Go ahead, pay for the book, give them 00:10:23.429 --> 00:10:25.250 your name and so on, and you'll get that book 00:10:25.250 --> 00:10:28.629 here within a week or the latest two weeks. And 00:10:28.629 --> 00:10:30.830 I just want to say thank you very, very much. 00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:42.850 God bless you. Fantastic. I just love the fact 00:10:42.850 --> 00:10:46.330 that God is doing, you know, when he promised 00:10:46.330 --> 00:10:50.289 us through the prophetic word that this would 00:10:50.289 --> 00:10:52.730 be a place where angels would ascend and descend 00:10:52.730 --> 00:10:58.710 and to bring revelation, to bring healing, and 00:10:58.710 --> 00:11:02.850 to know that, you know, and when we were clear 00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:04.730 back in the white days, the Lord said that there 00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:09.309 would be a worldwide touch. from this house. 00:11:09.990 --> 00:11:13.830 You know, I mean, I'm thinking, oh, come on. 00:11:15.129 --> 00:11:20.490 But it's happening, guys. It's happening. The 00:11:20.490 --> 00:11:22.509 Lord spoke to me this morning right before I 00:11:22.509 --> 00:11:25.649 came up and we were singing. He said, all that 00:11:25.649 --> 00:11:30.549 I've promised shall come to pass. Just a reminder, 00:11:30.710 --> 00:11:36.350 all that I've promised shall come to pass. You 00:11:36.350 --> 00:11:40.200 know, we're so honored to have Deborah and Tony, 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.700 Tony's beautiful wife, Deborah, can you just 00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:48.360 give the congregation a wave? Thank you. And 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:53.139 grateful to have Tony Kemp with us all the way 00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:57.519 from the Illinois area, but they pastor pastors 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.919 and they are involved in so many things. Would 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.879 you just stand and welcome Pastor Tony Kemp, 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.399 Apostle, Prophet, come on. Give him a Life Bible 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.360 welcome as he comes to bring the Word of the 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:27.960 Lord. Thank you very kindly. If the person who 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:34.700 does the screen would just prepare. King James 00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:38.080 Version, Isaiah 54, verse 6, and I'll cue you 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:43.360 when I'm ready for it. But first of all, I want 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:48.799 to give reverence to the Father, to Jesus, to 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.200 the Holy Spirit, and honor to Brad and Jenny 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.340 and their family. Let's give them a big hand 00:12:55.340 --> 00:13:04.379 clap, shall we? To Dr. Venter, the great man 00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:14.299 of God, let's give him. I have so enjoyed his 00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:16.940 company and the revelation of the word and the 00:13:16.940 --> 00:13:20.159 wisdom, the presence and the power of the spirit. 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:27.340 And last night it was so funny. How many of you 00:13:27.340 --> 00:13:32.350 were here? Amen. Amen. And it was so powerful. 00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:39.809 And I thank the Lord for a friend and for a partner 00:13:39.809 --> 00:13:44.769 in ministry. Can I say amen? And can you say 00:13:44.769 --> 00:13:50.110 amen? And I also want to give honor to the ministry 00:13:50.110 --> 00:13:53.850 team and to all of you. Give your neighbor a 00:13:53.850 --> 00:13:56.269 hand clap, would you please, for being here. 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.320 And I also want to give honor to my wife. It'll 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:14.220 be 40 years in May coming. And so, you know, 00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:18.940 I think we have, because I think we just came 00:14:18.940 --> 00:14:23.000 from Florida. I think I was in Florida three 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.899 times in January, and I think we only have like 00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:30.340 15 books left. And it's called Face to Face with 00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:34.860 God. Volume 1, we're editing Face to Face with 00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:39.340 God, Volume 2. And, you know, I share the exact 00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:44.000 same thought as Jan. The book is under 100 pages. 00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:51.659 Everybody say, it's an easy read. And very, very 00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:58.220 practical. And just let me say this to you. If 00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:04.759 the Father... permits a problem, the Holy Spirit 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:11.240 wants to prompt you to ask a question. And the 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.480 question that the Holy Spirit wants you to ask 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:19.940 the Father once you are in the midst of a problem 00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:25.419 is, Father, who and what do you want to be to 00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:28.899 me now that you could not have been to me before? 00:15:31.370 --> 00:15:38.190 And when you ask that question, years ago, the 00:15:38.190 --> 00:15:41.070 Holy Spirit said to inquire of the Lord, pray 00:15:41.070 --> 00:15:48.950 before you do anything. And prayer is a key to 00:15:48.950 --> 00:15:52.450 entering into the spirit of wisdom and revelation 00:15:52.450 --> 00:15:57.649 so you know what the Father wants to be to you. 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.720 what Jesus wants to do for you and in you. And, 00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:06.440 you know, that's one of the reasons why, if you're 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:10.379 able to attend the prayer meetings before the 00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:14.960 church service, because it prepares you for what 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.600 the Father has to say to you and what the Father 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.080 wants to do for you and in you through Jesus. 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.019 So you have the problem, and then you say, now, 00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:27.059 Lord, who and what do you want to be to me now? 00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:31.659 That you couldn't have been to me before. And 00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:34.919 then the Lord gives you a promise. And I talk 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.259 about in this book, after he gives you the promise, 00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:43.000 when he provides for you, it happens in one of 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:47.419 five different ways. Look at somebody say, so 00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:53.580 you have to get the book. You know, we'll run 00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:56.460 out. So, and it's $16. And my wife said cash 00:16:56.460 --> 00:17:00.860 or check. And so, but you can go on to Tony Kemp. 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:05.579 What is it? TonyKempBooks .com. And so, yes. 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:13.359 Yes. This one. Yes. Yes. Yes. I never do interrupt 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.640 a preacher. But I just want to say. That, you 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.839 know, my observation about what's going on here 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.980 at the church concerning the prayer. You know, 00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:26.200 I go around the world and I'm sure you'll agree 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.740 with what I'm saying. We don't see many churches. 00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:34.279 In fact, I see very, very few churches that praise 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.339 the way you guys are praying here before church. 00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:40.960 And I meant to say something about that. But, 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.859 Kelly, I'm just telling you that you and your 00:17:43.859 --> 00:17:46.789 prayer team is doing a phenomenal work. And the 00:17:46.789 --> 00:17:49.410 success of these meetings is based on that. Thank 00:17:49.410 --> 00:17:57.990 you. No, no, no, no. Anytime. Well, see, I always 00:17:57.990 --> 00:18:05.789 struggle with how much I should say. Yeah, I 00:18:05.789 --> 00:18:17.630 can't say it all. Okay, let me say this before 00:18:17.630 --> 00:18:25.289 I say that. One of the persons that I saw in 00:18:25.289 --> 00:18:32.190 heaven was Noah. The best way for me to describe 00:18:32.190 --> 00:18:36.150 Noah would be, brother, if you'll stand up for 00:18:36.150 --> 00:18:39.230 me. Yeah, no, no, no, the man on the very end, 00:18:39.369 --> 00:18:46.880 yeah. And turn this way a little bit. Can you 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:51.539 see him? Noah had that sort of a body type, but 00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:56.200 he had a really, really, really long beard. Really 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.980 long. So now you can sit down now, brother. Thank 00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:05.240 you. So let me just make you think. Not all animals 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:10.130 were in that part of the world. So they came 00:19:10.130 --> 00:19:13.549 in by twos and some by sevens. So you have to 00:19:13.549 --> 00:19:16.109 ask yourself a question. How did they get there? 00:19:18.309 --> 00:19:22.430 So God had to translate some animals to where 00:19:22.430 --> 00:19:27.150 the ark was. And then they walked in. Now you 00:19:27.150 --> 00:19:30.349 have to ask yourself a question. How did Noah 00:19:30.349 --> 00:19:35.930 and his wife feed all these animals? Where did 00:19:35.930 --> 00:19:39.460 the waste go? And how do you stand the noise? 00:19:41.859 --> 00:19:44.519 And especially when Noah and his family go in 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.380 and God shuts the door and then the flood begins 00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:51.799 and then the ark does all this. So you have to 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.359 ask yourself a question. What happened? Well, 00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:01.359 when all of these created beings by God came 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:11.309 in, God put them all into hibernation. including 00:20:11.309 --> 00:20:15.730 Noah, his wife, and his family, and God froze 00:20:15.730 --> 00:20:20.509 them. When I say froze them, in place, not like 00:20:20.509 --> 00:20:26.390 froze. So that when the thing went, everybody 00:20:26.390 --> 00:20:30.230 stayed in place, and God just put them all into 00:20:30.230 --> 00:20:33.630 supernatural hibernation. And then toward the 00:20:33.630 --> 00:20:37.039 end of the jury, God wakes up Noah. And then 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.480 you had the raven and you had the dove, right? 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.759 And then God wakes up all the animals and then 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.500 they walk out and bam, they go to all their respective 00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:51.680 parts of the earth. And to this day, certain 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:56.519 animals still hibernate. Does that answer the 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.880 question for you? Doesn't it make perfect sense? 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.650 Yeah, okay. So I know. You'll have to recover 00:21:05.650 --> 00:21:24.990 from that. I'll give you a minute. But the day 00:21:24.990 --> 00:21:33.420 of Noah is upon us. And the Lord is coming. And 00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:37.059 this is something I heard in heaven. I quote, 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:42.900 the Lord is coming very, very soon. I'll just 00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:50.079 leave that there. Next part. Prayer before church, 00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:54.519 during church, praise and worship sets the atmosphere. 00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:04.389 Okay? And if I can use language, spiritual. If 00:22:04.389 --> 00:22:08.990 you were to go outside, you will see clouds there. 00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:14.309 But there are clouds that are present, but they 00:22:14.309 --> 00:22:22.690 yield no rain. Right? But then there are clouds 00:22:22.690 --> 00:22:30.670 created by certain conditions that cause it to 00:22:30.670 --> 00:22:37.960 sprinkle. Cause it to rain. Cause it to have 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:47.000 a downpour or a deluge. Our prayer creates the 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:54.339 cloud and the conditions. And what we do or don't 00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:58.240 do determines in a service if we just have a 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:07.700 sprinkle. A light shower? A heavy shower? A Holy 00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:21.259 Ghost storm? Or a deluge? So, I have this stuff 00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:24.799 that happens to me and sometimes, you know, so 00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:27.460 anyway, it doesn't matter whether you believe 00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:33.309 me because I know I'm strange. but it's not my 00:23:33.309 --> 00:23:38.609 fault. But anyway, there was an angel up here, 00:23:38.670 --> 00:23:42.250 and he was significantly tall, and he had wings, 00:23:42.390 --> 00:23:45.470 and there was a cloud that started up here, and 00:23:45.470 --> 00:23:49.609 it was extending out. And so, you know, this 00:23:49.609 --> 00:23:51.450 African -American brother does this prophetic 00:23:51.450 --> 00:23:56.589 song, and then Jenny is really doing a prophetic 00:23:56.589 --> 00:24:00.079 song, and God's talking, and then... I think 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:01.839 little sister, you was kind of doing a little 00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:04.119 prophetic song too, right? Wasn't that prophetic? 00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:06.940 Mm -hmm, right, right, right. And then the two 00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:08.599 brothers get up and they prophesy and I'm going, 00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:21.480 hmm, the cloud's raining. So I'm going to speak 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:26.259 from the cloud and think of it this way. In the 00:24:26.259 --> 00:24:28.460 day of Moses, they had a cloud by day. Everybody 00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:32.640 say represents the presence of God. And so when 00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:37.619 I say it that way, I mean the presence. And so 00:24:37.619 --> 00:24:42.619 sometimes what prayer does, if we have sensitivity, 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.559 is it helps us to know what's in the cloud. Because 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.480 if you speak what's in the cloud and you respond 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.589 to the cloud of his presence, it rains. What 00:24:55.589 --> 00:25:03.250 you need. And what the promise is. And the invisible 00:25:03.250 --> 00:25:07.150 becomes visible. So if you would be so kind as 00:25:07.150 --> 00:25:11.849 to put up Isaiah 54 verse 6 in the King James 00:25:11.849 --> 00:25:18.329 Version. And so the Holy Spirit is speaking today 00:25:18.329 --> 00:25:21.710 and he's saying, the Lord hath called thee or 00:25:21.710 --> 00:25:25.829 the Lord calls you. As a woman forsaken, or just 00:25:25.829 --> 00:25:28.930 like a woman who has been forsaken and grieved 00:25:28.930 --> 00:25:32.450 in spirit, a wife refused when she was refused, 00:25:32.910 --> 00:25:37.490 says your God. So here's the picture. The picture 00:25:37.490 --> 00:25:41.650 is of a woman newly married who after she was 00:25:41.650 --> 00:25:45.049 married, her husband decided he did not want 00:25:45.049 --> 00:25:50.390 her anymore. And so she was rejected. The best 00:25:50.390 --> 00:25:55.150 way to define rejection. is that feeling of being 00:25:55.150 --> 00:26:02.230 unloved, unwanted, not cared for, insignificant, 00:26:02.710 --> 00:26:10.970 abandoned, left, not paid attention to, not valued, 00:26:11.109 --> 00:26:15.490 not feeling that you have worth to the person 00:26:15.490 --> 00:26:23.069 that you want to be there for you. It is the 00:26:23.069 --> 00:26:31.269 loss of being accepted and being loved. The opposite 00:26:31.269 --> 00:26:35.809 of rejection would be acceptance, where you feel 00:26:35.809 --> 00:26:41.549 loved. Everybody say, feel loved. So we're not 00:26:41.549 --> 00:26:45.549 just talking about the thought. We're talking 00:26:45.549 --> 00:26:48.930 about the feeling. So we're talking about the 00:26:48.930 --> 00:26:56.089 feeling that's in the soul. rejection can happen 00:26:56.089 --> 00:27:05.369 unintentionally. For example, mom and dad can 00:27:05.369 --> 00:27:08.569 have the first child pop out, and that child 00:27:08.569 --> 00:27:13.369 is very extroverted. The second child pops out, 00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:16.789 and the second child doesn't want to be like 00:27:16.789 --> 00:27:20.950 the first child, so the second child is introverted. 00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:24.980 I certainly did not want to be like my older 00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:32.779 brother. The third child pops out. Very gregarious. 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:38.000 And the first child gets the attention. And the 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.299 third child gets the attention. But the second 00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:46.119 child doesn't perceive that they are getting 00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:48.859 the attention as the first child and the third 00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:53.400 child are. Which makes me think that perceived 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:58.579 rejection hurts as much as actual rejection. 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.660 Which means you can get stuck in a perception 00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:21.519 that's not actual, but it's real hurt. Simply 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:29.200 put, rejection can take three sorts of manifestations. 00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:39.200 When it is speaking to your character, it becomes 00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:44.440 inferiority. And so through the lens of rejection, 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:52.039 you look and it... sort of goes like this. I 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:57.619 can do 10 things, eight of them right, but I 00:28:57.619 --> 00:29:01.539 don't pat myself on the back. I focus on the 00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:05.960 two I got wrong. And that's how I identify myself. 00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:14.680 So I never quite feel like I measure up or I'm 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:20.920 good. And so this can get in the way of people 00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:25.839 receiving answers to prayer, healing, or personal 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.079 ministry. Receiving it or ministering to others. 00:29:30.380 --> 00:29:32.740 Now you may say, I don't have this issue. Well, 00:29:32.819 --> 00:29:35.180 the reason I'm teaching this is so that you can 00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:37.900 learn the revelation so you can minister to people 00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:43.119 who do have the issue. Right? Then there's rejection. 00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:47.839 That becomes self -rejection and it manifests 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:53.740 itself in the form of insecurity. So you didn't 00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:59.339 look at me right. I don't think you like me. 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.779 You walked past me and you didn't even speak. 00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:07.079 I don't consider the fact that you might have 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.599 something on your mind or something may have 00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:13.480 just happened before you got here. Or you may 00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:16.680 got an email or a phone call or a text. Or maybe 00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:23.220 you and your spouse just had a slight disagreement 00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:26.900 or a little bit of intense fellowship on the 00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:35.779 way here. But I take it quite personally. And 00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:41.579 I'm not sure that if you really knew me. you 00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:47.740 would still like me. So I hide, and I become 00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:52.140 a chameleon, and I appear to be whatever you 00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:57.059 think just so that I can be accepted. Everybody 00:30:57.059 --> 00:31:01.000 say insecurity. Now, why is it important to get 00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:06.599 healed of this? Because personal insecurity will 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.460 become ministry insecurity. Oh, you didn't hear 00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:22.599 me. then rejection can manifest itself as inadequacy. 00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:33.619 I don't think that I can. And so you have, everybody 00:31:33.619 --> 00:31:39.640 say rejection, self -rejection, depression. So 00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:45.099 now I get down on myself. And I began to look 00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:52.880 at all of my warts, and I look at my flaws and 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:59.420 my weaknesses and my defects of character, and 00:31:59.420 --> 00:32:04.440 I major on that because there's a voice in my 00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:08.839 head that says that's who I am, and anything 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:16.000 that's praiseworthy becomes minor. Even if my 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:29.039 traits that are praiseworthy far outnumber. So 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:34.799 then I wear my feelings on my sleeves and I'm 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.980 looking for hurt. Look at somebody and say, beware 00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:45.750 of finding what you're looking for. Because you 00:32:45.750 --> 00:32:50.089 will discover it even when it's not there. And 00:32:50.089 --> 00:32:52.710 so because of that, I'm afraid to get too close 00:32:52.710 --> 00:32:55.410 to you. So I'm going to reject you before you 00:32:55.410 --> 00:33:00.490 reject me. So I'm not going to be transparent. 00:33:01.170 --> 00:33:05.849 I am not going to be real. I can't be genuine 00:33:05.849 --> 00:33:10.829 and I can't be authentic because my past experience 00:33:10.829 --> 00:33:19.490 has told me. That if I'm that way, whether in 00:33:19.490 --> 00:33:27.950 church or out of church, I'll be hurt. And so 00:33:27.950 --> 00:33:33.930 then I engage in self -defeating and self -destructive 00:33:33.930 --> 00:33:40.829 behaviors. And yet the root of it was rejection. 00:33:47.010 --> 00:33:52.349 Or it can be rejection, self -rejection, hurt, 00:33:52.490 --> 00:33:58.730 and then hate. I don't think you like me, I don't 00:33:58.730 --> 00:34:03.289 like you either. You hate me, I hate you. You 00:34:03.289 --> 00:34:14.559 hurt me, I'm gonna hurt you. And so now, You 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:20.860 self -suicide and you become a homicidal. You 00:34:20.860 --> 00:34:25.400 know, you'd be surprised at the number of homicidal 00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:31.880 saints there are in churches. I mean, somebody 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:35.079 even wrote a book on it called Can't We Just 00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:42.019 Kill Them and Tell God They Died? I mean, you'd 00:34:42.019 --> 00:34:45.849 be amazed. And how much hip hop there is in church. 00:34:54.909 --> 00:34:58.090 You're going to make me lose my cool up in here, 00:34:58.210 --> 00:35:02.750 up in here. You're going to make me act a fool 00:35:02.750 --> 00:35:18.460 up in here, up in here. is not African American. 00:35:18.699 --> 00:35:35.360 Look at somebody saying it goes everywhere. And 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:39.719 so this spirit of rejection and self -rejection 00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:44.760 will ask you a question in first person. to get 00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:48.039 you to believe that this is who you are. And 00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:52.719 here's the question. I don't know what's wrong 00:35:52.719 --> 00:36:00.579 with me. Now, I'm going to answer that spirit, 00:36:00.659 --> 00:36:04.280 and I'm going to answer you. And it's going to 00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:10.739 take you a minute. How many of y 'all love Jesus? 00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:24.119 Raise a hand, unless you have a condition. Look 00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:35.420 this way. Ain't nothing wrong with you. Something 00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:45.480 is just missing. I will repeat. And I use bad 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:55.949 grammar on purpose. Ain't. Nothing wrong with 00:36:55.949 --> 00:37:03.909 you. You just got something missing that the 00:37:03.909 --> 00:37:13.449 Father wants to supply. Let me explain it another 00:37:13.449 --> 00:37:17.530 way. I was just with a pastor. Great man that 00:37:17.530 --> 00:37:20.429 got extremely revelatory. Name is Dr. Morgan. 00:37:20.610 --> 00:37:24.730 Really revelatory. He grew up under some very 00:37:24.730 --> 00:37:29.789 difficult, hurting circumstances. And he came 00:37:29.789 --> 00:37:35.489 to know Jesus. But as he developed this intimacy 00:37:35.489 --> 00:37:39.610 with Jesus, some of the hurt and pain in his 00:37:39.610 --> 00:37:43.030 soul began to come out. And he was a young man. 00:37:43.530 --> 00:37:45.670 I believe he was still in adolescence. Or no, 00:37:45.750 --> 00:37:49.170 he was in his 20s. And so he got mad one day. 00:37:50.269 --> 00:37:53.849 And he hit the wall. And, you know, left a mark. 00:37:55.070 --> 00:37:58.809 And he's upset. And because God's a safe person 00:37:58.809 --> 00:38:01.909 to direct your anger toward, he directed it toward 00:38:01.909 --> 00:38:04.829 God. And that's not to say he used profanity 00:38:04.829 --> 00:38:08.110 or vulgarity or anything like that. He just had 00:38:08.110 --> 00:38:11.190 a burst of emotion in his frustration. You know, 00:38:11.230 --> 00:38:15.369 everybody say irritation. Aggravation. Anger. 00:38:16.389 --> 00:38:20.750 Rage. So that was the expression of it. And so... 00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:25.360 After he gets done, the father speaks to him 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:30.880 in a voice he could hear. And the father says, 00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:41.800 Victor, because I understand you, I love you. 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:58.219 And something in him changed. Because the father 00:38:58.219 --> 00:39:04.260 was supplying something he was missing. Because 00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:12.980 he never felt understood and loved. And when 00:39:12.980 --> 00:39:17.539 the father said, Victor, because I understand 00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:25.409 you, I love you. Something left. his soul. Something 00:39:25.409 --> 00:39:29.110 left his mind. Something left his life. Something 00:39:29.110 --> 00:39:37.889 left his body. And he was free. Something could 00:39:37.889 --> 00:39:45.929 no longer influence him. Because my father, look 00:39:45.929 --> 00:39:48.829 at somebody say, because my father understands 00:39:48.829 --> 00:39:54.869 me. And he loves me. Look at somebody and say, 00:39:54.909 --> 00:40:00.369 I'm receiving what's missing. See, this is what's 00:40:00.369 --> 00:40:06.510 interesting about the father. The father really 00:40:06.510 --> 00:40:12.369 don't call you out. Not like you think he does. 00:40:13.250 --> 00:40:16.389 The father doesn't call you out. He calls you 00:40:16.389 --> 00:40:27.150 up. He calls you. so that what is missing can 00:40:27.150 --> 00:40:40.809 be imparted. So, I know a little about this. 00:40:50.829 --> 00:40:53.610 Sometimes I have like these visions thing going 00:40:53.610 --> 00:41:00.409 on. And, you know, look at somebody and say, 00:41:00.469 --> 00:41:13.550 he's just a unique character. So libraries as 00:41:13.550 --> 00:41:18.750 an idea didn't start on earth. And it doesn't 00:41:18.750 --> 00:41:20.150 matter whether you believe me or not, when you 00:41:20.150 --> 00:41:23.750 get to heaven, you'll find out that there are 00:41:23.750 --> 00:41:28.210 libraries and books in heaven. I mean, your first 00:41:28.210 --> 00:41:30.889 clue is this. In the book of Revelation, it says 00:41:30.889 --> 00:41:39.349 the books were opened. Hello. So there has to 00:41:39.349 --> 00:41:43.469 be a hall of records. Look at somebody say, hello. 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:51.360 And there's a book with your name on it, and 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:54.920 there's other books. In fact, I was with a prophet 00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:58.519 friend of mine, and he died. Went to heaven, 00:41:58.619 --> 00:42:01.280 and he was in the Hall of Records. And while 00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:03.780 he was there, he meets Elijah, who pulls out 00:42:03.780 --> 00:42:07.139 a book. And the book had this prophet's name 00:42:07.139 --> 00:42:10.659 on it. And the book had lots of empty pages. 00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:14.719 And the prophet, Elijah points out to him, you 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:16.920 got a lot of empty pages here, so you can't stay 00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:21.840 here. Because you got to fill up your book with 00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:29.420 the word of the Lord. Hey, you can do with that 00:42:29.420 --> 00:42:30.559 whatever you want to do with it. It doesn't matter. 00:42:35.860 --> 00:42:37.739 So he came back there, and then the brother could 00:42:37.739 --> 00:42:46.119 prophesy. Woo! My goodness. So I'm looking at 00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:56.309 this book. And let me give you a thought. What 00:42:56.309 --> 00:42:58.929 if I was to say to you, and let's just go here, 00:42:59.050 --> 00:43:02.289 in Luke 6, where it talks about, and I want to 00:43:02.289 --> 00:43:04.750 reference this, where Jesus says, you know, 37, 00:43:05.110 --> 00:43:07.730 be merciful, just like your heavenly father is 00:43:07.730 --> 00:43:10.070 merciful. And don't condemn, you will not be 00:43:10.070 --> 00:43:11.329 condemned. Don't judge, you won't be judged. 00:43:11.429 --> 00:43:13.550 Forgive and you shall be forgiven. Let's look 00:43:13.550 --> 00:43:17.150 at the judgment part of it. What if I was to 00:43:17.150 --> 00:43:23.239 say to you that the prodigal son, rejected the 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:28.559 ways of his father and judged his father and 00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:34.659 said, I don't want to be like him. And yet his 00:43:34.659 --> 00:43:43.159 father was living in a state of prosperity. And 00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:46.739 the son leaves home, asks for his inheritance 00:43:46.739 --> 00:43:51.130 and leaves home. And the father knows the son's 00:43:51.130 --> 00:43:54.630 got to learn a lesson because he's listening 00:43:54.630 --> 00:44:00.170 to a voice other than his father's voice. Look 00:44:00.170 --> 00:44:04.070 at somebody say rejection is listening to a voice 00:44:04.070 --> 00:44:12.469 other than the right voice of a holy father or 00:44:12.469 --> 00:44:16.570 the holy father. So he goes out and he partays. 00:44:20.909 --> 00:44:24.610 Everybody say he partays. He don't just partay, 00:44:24.610 --> 00:44:28.429 he partays. And when you're partying, a lot of 00:44:28.429 --> 00:44:32.449 people want to spend your money. And then when 00:44:32.449 --> 00:44:37.829 it's all gone, everybody leave his partay. And 00:44:37.829 --> 00:44:39.989 the Bible says he comes to himself. Look at somebody 00:44:39.989 --> 00:44:42.110 and say, you ought to look for yourself and find 00:44:42.110 --> 00:44:46.730 yourself. And so he says, now, you know what? 00:44:47.690 --> 00:44:51.900 I'm a Jewish boy. But I want to eat. I've really 00:44:51.900 --> 00:44:54.619 hit bottom because I want to eat what the swine 00:44:54.619 --> 00:44:58.820 eat. That ain't good. I think I need to go home. 00:44:59.960 --> 00:45:02.599 But I'm going to show you how he misjudges himself 00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:10.900 in his rejection. Because who knows who influenced 00:45:10.900 --> 00:45:18.579 him to leave daddy to go party. So now he says. 00:45:18.969 --> 00:45:22.510 I'll say, now, daddy, father, I sinned against 00:45:22.510 --> 00:45:25.409 heaven and in your sight. I'm no more worthy. 00:45:27.030 --> 00:45:30.469 I'm no more worthy to be called your son. Look 00:45:30.469 --> 00:45:32.130 at somebody and say, the voice of rejection. 00:45:36.250 --> 00:45:41.730 Make me a hired servant. Everybody say, self 00:45:41.730 --> 00:45:45.429 -rejection. Meanwhile, the father is looking 00:45:45.429 --> 00:45:50.539 for his son to come home. And the spirit and 00:45:50.539 --> 00:45:53.039 the mindset and the attitude of the father is 00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:55.559 very different from that of his son. Because 00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:58.940 the scripture says, the father saw his son afar 00:45:58.940 --> 00:46:08.539 off and ran and embraced him. And the son started 00:46:08.539 --> 00:46:10.900 his spill. I'm no more worthy to be your son, 00:46:10.980 --> 00:46:15.260 I've sinned. Make me a hired servant. And the 00:46:15.260 --> 00:46:18.500 father says, you know what? I'm not listening 00:46:18.500 --> 00:46:22.739 to you. I can't make you a servant because you're 00:46:22.739 --> 00:46:25.619 not a servant, you're a son. Look at somebody 00:46:25.619 --> 00:46:27.539 say, the father corrects the wrong judgment. 00:46:30.739 --> 00:46:36.860 And the father brings out the best robe. I wonder 00:46:36.860 --> 00:46:41.179 if it was one of the father's robes. Because 00:46:41.179 --> 00:46:43.920 he had to have the best robes. Put a ring on 00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:46.179 his finger, shoes on his feet. Look at somebody 00:46:46.179 --> 00:46:48.480 say, you already received the identity of your 00:46:48.480 --> 00:47:01.699 heavenly father. You know, he's the older brother. 00:47:03.860 --> 00:47:05.860 How many of y 'all the older brother and the 00:47:05.860 --> 00:47:09.579 older sister? Raise your hands. All right, raise 00:47:09.579 --> 00:47:11.119 them high. I want to see all the older brothers. 00:47:11.500 --> 00:47:15.099 Okay, okay. I want to let y 'all know I was the 00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:23.460 baby. My mother was the oldest of several children. 00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:27.840 She was the parental child. I'm like my mama, 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:33.829 only I'm the baby. My attitude toward my mother 00:47:33.829 --> 00:47:39.989 was this. You will never be the boss of me. I'm 00:47:39.989 --> 00:47:41.869 just like you. I'm going to be in charge. I'm 00:47:41.869 --> 00:47:52.449 going to run this house. And I did too. What's 00:47:52.449 --> 00:47:55.309 wrong with y 'all? How many of y 'all got a baby 00:47:55.309 --> 00:47:59.329 brother, baby sister? Raise your hands. How many 00:47:59.329 --> 00:48:01.670 of y 'all know you got trouble on your hands? 00:48:03.619 --> 00:48:08.880 Amen. So the older brother judges the younger 00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:17.019 brother. And judges his daddy. Look at somebody 00:48:17.019 --> 00:48:25.440 say, you judge folk. I judge folk. Look, back 00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.340 in the day when I was an athlete, football, basketball 00:48:30.340 --> 00:48:33.559 star. When I was a freshman, the Minnesota Vikings, 00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:35.260 somebody from there was looking at me. I'm from 00:48:35.260 --> 00:48:39.860 the Missouri. I was prejudiced against all you 00:48:39.860 --> 00:48:44.300 fluffy people. I would look at fluffy people 00:48:44.300 --> 00:48:46.380 and say, how can you let yourself get so fluffy? 00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:53.019 Have you ever noticed that you've become like 00:48:53.019 --> 00:48:56.340 the people you judge? Has anybody else ever noticed 00:48:56.340 --> 00:49:08.730 that? I used to be more fluffy. I'm less fluffy. 00:49:08.949 --> 00:49:22.530 I love fluffy people. That's why the son has 00:49:22.530 --> 00:49:26.570 an alcoholic father, becomes a drug addict. Because 00:49:26.570 --> 00:49:28.389 alcohol can be, I'm going to leave you alone. 00:49:29.829 --> 00:49:31.809 Look at somebody and say, reverse your judgment. 00:49:35.179 --> 00:49:38.340 And so the father corrects the judgment of his 00:49:38.340 --> 00:49:42.599 son in love, both the baby and the older brother, 00:49:42.699 --> 00:49:46.760 and brings reconciliation. Look at somebody and 00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:48.800 say, Jesus is getting ready to do something for 00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:52.599 you right now. Look at somebody else and say, 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:53.820 the father is getting ready to do something for 00:49:53.820 --> 00:49:57.579 you right now. Now, let me give you my own personal 00:49:57.579 --> 00:50:05.030 experience because my dad. was and is brilliant. 00:50:06.449 --> 00:50:09.230 He's like really super smart. Mom is in heaven. 00:50:09.309 --> 00:50:12.170 My older brother's in heaven. Dad's still alive. 00:50:12.409 --> 00:50:17.110 He'll be 99 in about a month or so. A couple 00:50:17.110 --> 00:50:25.969 months. And Dad always used to say, listen, you 00:50:25.969 --> 00:50:28.349 know, Mama was always kind of pushing me to be 00:50:28.349 --> 00:50:34.500 perfect. I ain't doing that. Anyway. Just because 00:50:34.500 --> 00:50:39.019 you said it, I'm not doing it. It's interesting 00:50:39.019 --> 00:50:47.900 how rejection produces rebellion. So anyway, 00:50:48.059 --> 00:50:51.840 after I got saved, I was really trying to get 00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:53.460 everything right, and I was failing because I 00:50:53.460 --> 00:50:57.559 was a new baby, new baby Christian. And so the 00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:01.030 enemy was attacking my mind. and I felt rejection, 00:51:01.190 --> 00:51:03.269 self -rejection, because of some other things 00:51:03.269 --> 00:51:06.269 that was going on. And so I began to, I can go 00:51:06.269 --> 00:51:09.849 to the spot of where I had this visitation. I 00:51:09.849 --> 00:51:13.510 can go to the spot. And I'm crying out to God, 00:51:13.590 --> 00:51:16.969 literally crying, and I start putting on God 00:51:16.969 --> 00:51:19.269 how I was feeling, because we have a tendency 00:51:19.269 --> 00:51:21.550 to project onto others what we ourselves are 00:51:21.550 --> 00:51:25.710 feeling. I might even say this to you. What if 00:51:25.710 --> 00:51:27.789 I was to say to you that when we are carnal, 00:51:27.829 --> 00:51:30.800 or we're getting natural, We don't see others 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:37.840 as they are. We see others as we are. So I said, 00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:39.780 Lord, you know, I think you've abandoned me. 00:51:40.460 --> 00:51:45.780 And then all of a sudden, this presence surrounded 00:51:45.780 --> 00:51:54.820 me. It was the most loving presence. And then 00:51:54.820 --> 00:51:59.420 I heard a voice. And the voice said this. It 00:51:59.420 --> 00:52:04.519 was the Father. And he said, I want you to have 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:09.780 an understanding. And then instantly, the Holy 00:52:09.780 --> 00:52:13.679 Spirit began to speak to me about Jesus. And 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:15.119 this is what the Holy Spirit said. If you remember, 00:52:15.460 --> 00:52:23.480 it says that Jesus was made the world. He came 00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:26.059 into the world, but the world did not recognize 00:52:26.059 --> 00:52:30.550 him. And so when you feel rejected, you don't 00:52:30.550 --> 00:52:35.349 feel recognized. The Holy Spirit said Jesus came 00:52:35.349 --> 00:52:38.510 to his own, but his own did not receive him. 00:52:39.469 --> 00:52:44.309 He was rejected. Isaiah the prophet goes into 00:52:44.309 --> 00:52:49.329 the future and describes Jesus and says he is 00:52:49.329 --> 00:52:54.650 rejected and despised of men. As a result... 00:52:55.150 --> 00:52:58.010 He's a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, 00:52:58.269 --> 00:53:06.050 the loss of love. Then all of a sudden, my eyes 00:53:06.050 --> 00:53:09.190 opened up into a vision. And in the vision, I 00:53:09.190 --> 00:53:12.690 see Jesus weeping over the city of Jerusalem. 00:53:13.510 --> 00:53:18.329 And this is what he was saying. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 00:53:18.570 --> 00:53:23.320 how many times I would have loved. to have gathered 00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:26.860 your children together, just like a mother hen 00:53:26.860 --> 00:53:32.840 gathers her chickens underneath her wings. And 00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:35.820 in that moment, and it stopped right there, I 00:53:35.820 --> 00:53:40.519 knew I was completely loved and completely accepted 00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:45.900 by the Father and by Jesus, and I was healed. 00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:55.239 Listen to me carefully. I don't have self -esteem. 00:53:56.920 --> 00:54:02.860 I have personal esteem given to me by my father. 00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:11.079 I don't have self -worth. I have personal worth 00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:16.579 as a result of a revelation and as a result of 00:54:16.579 --> 00:54:21.880 receiving a heavenly identity from the father. 00:54:22.429 --> 00:54:31.269 And Jesus, he supplied what was missing. When 00:54:31.269 --> 00:54:35.769 he supplies what is missing, you move from what 00:54:35.769 --> 00:54:40.670 is missing into the miraculous. And you begin 00:54:40.670 --> 00:54:44.630 to see yourself through the Father's eyes. You 00:54:44.630 --> 00:54:49.610 see your true self. And when you see your true 00:54:49.610 --> 00:54:53.969 self, You are spiritually, mentally, emotionally, 00:54:54.110 --> 00:55:03.769 and in many cases physically healed. Now, people 00:55:03.769 --> 00:55:07.269 go through rejection. In some cases, it's mild. 00:55:07.750 --> 00:55:11.449 In some cases, it's moderate. In other cases, 00:55:11.610 --> 00:55:16.849 it's severe. But I was listening to the prophetic 00:55:16.849 --> 00:55:21.050 words. And it all had to do with the father's 00:55:21.050 --> 00:55:28.489 love. Where he was not calling you out, but he 00:55:28.489 --> 00:55:34.769 was calling you up. Into who he is. And by getting 00:55:34.769 --> 00:55:37.849 a revelation and by absorbing and being baptized 00:55:37.849 --> 00:55:42.710 into who he is, you actually get a revelation 00:55:42.710 --> 00:55:47.289 and you are baptized and immersed into who you 00:55:47.289 --> 00:55:52.539 are. John said it this way, as Jesus is, so are 00:55:52.539 --> 00:56:03.340 we in this present day. Say, why are you doing 00:56:03.340 --> 00:56:09.179 this, preacher? Because there are people here 00:56:09.179 --> 00:56:17.250 who have some sense of rejection. As a husband, 00:56:17.369 --> 00:56:20.289 as a wife, as a father, as a mother, as a son, 00:56:20.289 --> 00:56:23.489 a daughter, father -in -law, daughter, or whether 00:56:23.489 --> 00:56:30.469 it be mild, moderate, severe. Or you need a revelation 00:56:30.469 --> 00:56:33.269 and a message so you can minister to people and 00:56:33.269 --> 00:56:37.250 get them healed and free. So every head bowed, 00:56:37.250 --> 00:56:45.469 every eye closed. And if you're here this morning, 00:56:46.409 --> 00:56:49.590 And you know that sense of failure. You know 00:56:49.590 --> 00:56:53.710 that sense of, I'm just not good enough. I just 00:56:53.710 --> 00:57:00.269 can't do it. I have a sense of inferiority or 00:57:00.269 --> 00:57:05.730 insecurity. If that speaks to you in any way, 00:57:05.869 --> 00:57:11.570 and the Holy Spirit says, I want to heal you 00:57:11.570 --> 00:57:18.139 in your soul. if that speaks to you, and only 00:57:18.139 --> 00:57:21.219 raise your hand if the Holy Spirit says, that's 00:57:21.219 --> 00:57:24.480 you, I'm going to do something for you today. 00:57:25.300 --> 00:57:29.099 You can raise your hand and say, that's me. Raise 00:57:29.099 --> 00:57:33.079 your hand and say, that's me. Keep your hand 00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:38.320 up. Excellent. You can put your hand down and 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:45.760 you can look up. Third John, I believe, says 00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:50.260 this. Beloved, notice how it is the Holy Spirit 00:57:50.260 --> 00:57:56.039 says that. You're loved. I wish above all things 00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:59.800 that you prosper. In the Hebrew, it means to 00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:03.219 have a good journey in the will of God and be 00:58:03.219 --> 00:58:09.679 in physical health, even as your soul is healthy. 00:58:15.980 --> 00:58:18.480 And so this has been a supernatural weekend. 00:58:19.460 --> 00:58:24.559 It's been a weekend of healing, a weekend of 00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:31.659 miracles. In fact, if I can give you a little 00:58:31.659 --> 00:58:35.500 Greek interpretation of Philippians 4, where 00:58:35.500 --> 00:58:38.260 it says, I can do all things through Christ who 00:58:38.260 --> 00:58:41.219 strengthens me. What you're really looking at 00:58:41.219 --> 00:58:45.360 there is a school. And the implication in the 00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.300 Greek is this. I'm not talking about dunamis, 00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:53.300 strength. I'm talking about can do. The implication 00:58:53.300 --> 00:59:00.019 there in the Greek text is that God picks you 00:59:00.019 --> 00:59:04.599 up and carries you to a place you can't even 00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:10.760 get to on your own. Look at somebody and say, 00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:16.559 I'm receiving that right now. And I'm prophesying 00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:19.800 to you right now that as you're receiving your 00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:25.760 healing, God is literally picking you up. Not 00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:30.480 calling you out. He's picking you up. And he 00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:35.000 is carrying you into a healing, into a deliverance, 00:59:35.019 --> 00:59:38.880 into a freedom, into a liberty. You couldn't 00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:41.239 get there by yourself, but he's taking you there. 00:59:44.329 --> 00:59:47.570 We quote a scripture, it's interesting. I'll 00:59:47.570 --> 00:59:50.030 just say it to you in the Hebrew. They that wait 00:59:50.030 --> 00:59:52.550 upon the Lord shall renew their strength. But 00:59:52.550 --> 00:59:56.789 the Hebrew word for renew, in English that we 00:59:56.789 --> 01:00:00.570 say is renew, really means to exchange. And if 01:00:00.570 --> 01:00:04.010 you go back 40, 27, it says the Lord doesn't 01:00:04.010 --> 01:00:10.869 get tired. The Lord doesn't get weary. He can 01:00:10.869 --> 01:00:15.239 run. He can walk. And then it says, they that 01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:17.739 wait upon the Lord, they will exchange their 01:00:17.739 --> 01:00:21.079 weakness for his strength, and then they will 01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:25.179 run and not get weary. They will walk and not 01:00:25.179 --> 01:00:28.440 faint because he gives power to the faint. Look 01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:31.960 at somebody say, I'm being called up into who 01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:36.780 he is. I'm being called up into who I really 01:00:36.780 --> 01:00:40.760 am. Look at somebody say, I refuse to settle 01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:55.260 for less. And so, because I've been there myself, 01:00:55.420 --> 01:01:03.400 I want to urge you, if I could just, can we just 01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:05.639 have an authentic moment? How many of you ever 01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:08.719 judged your dad before? Raise your hands. Okay. 01:01:09.739 --> 01:01:11.579 How many ever judged your mother before? Raise 01:01:11.579 --> 01:01:14.599 your hands. How many, watch this. How many ever 01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:23.929 judged a televangelist? Raise your hands. you've 01:01:23.929 --> 01:01:25.750 ever judged a pastor before, raise your hands. 01:01:27.269 --> 01:01:33.250 Raise them. All I want to get you to do is reverse 01:01:33.250 --> 01:01:37.289 your judgment. Let me show you how powerful this 01:01:37.289 --> 01:01:43.869 is. There was a man, his name was Robert. His 01:01:43.869 --> 01:01:46.730 father was sick. They suffered financially because 01:01:46.730 --> 01:01:48.969 of the father's illness. The father would get 01:01:48.969 --> 01:01:52.150 well. The family would almost make it. The father 01:01:52.150 --> 01:01:54.579 would get sick again. And he judged his father 01:01:54.579 --> 01:01:57.800 because of his physical illnesses. Robert becomes 01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:02.320 a real estate agent and he would make almost 01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:05.659 a million dollar deal and it will fall through. 01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:09.980 And then it was pointed out to Robert that he 01:02:09.980 --> 01:02:13.980 needed to reverse his judgment on his dad. And 01:02:13.980 --> 01:02:17.539 when he reverses his judgment on his dad, within 01:02:17.539 --> 01:02:21.800 two weeks, he makes a million dollar deal. Second, 01:02:22.650 --> 01:02:25.989 And I know this is going to be far out. I have 01:02:25.989 --> 01:02:29.510 a good friend of mine named Ira. When he was 01:02:29.510 --> 01:02:31.929 a child, he was made to cut the grass. He was 01:02:31.929 --> 01:02:34.449 about 12 with a broken down lawnmower. And he 01:02:34.449 --> 01:02:36.170 used to cuss that lawnmower because it didn't 01:02:36.170 --> 01:02:43.309 work. Later on, he has some property. He buys 01:02:43.309 --> 01:02:48.829 a $3 ,000 riding lawnmower. New. Everybody say 01:02:48.829 --> 01:02:53.909 new. And it breaks down. It keeps breaking down. 01:02:54.690 --> 01:02:56.889 And finally, he said, Lord, why is this thing 01:02:56.889 --> 01:03:00.010 breaking down? And the Lord brings him back to 01:03:00.010 --> 01:03:03.989 when he was 12. And he reverses his judgment 01:03:03.989 --> 01:03:06.630 on his dad. And after that, the lawnmower starts 01:03:06.630 --> 01:03:12.730 up and keeps working. I want to ask you a question. 01:03:12.809 --> 01:03:15.929 Let's just see. How many of you are like me? 01:03:16.250 --> 01:03:20.179 You judge somebody and within one year. you were 01:03:20.179 --> 01:03:22.400 found yourself in the same situation or something 01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:24.960 similar, raise your hands. Raise them high, raise 01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:26.820 them high, look around the room. Look at somebody 01:03:26.820 --> 01:03:34.019 and say, reverse your judgment. So, if you raise 01:03:34.019 --> 01:03:39.639 your hand, and you need, you can look at right 01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:45.519 now at a judgment that you need to reverse. I 01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:49.159 want you to stand to your feet. Just stand to 01:03:49.159 --> 01:03:53.900 your feet. If you can look at a judgment, you 01:03:53.900 --> 01:04:01.159 need to reverse. We're going to do the prayer 01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:06.800 in a minute for a healing of rejection. So I 01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:08.820 just want you to think about the people you've 01:04:08.820 --> 01:04:19.880 judged. One of the things I say to people is 01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:21.719 if you're going to live by their praise, you're 01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:30.800 going to die by their criticisms. If you need 01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:34.739 their acceptance, you're going to suffer by their 01:04:34.739 --> 01:04:41.460 rejection. Bow your head and say, Father, in 01:04:41.460 --> 01:04:47.889 the name of Jesus, I have misjudged myself. And 01:04:47.889 --> 01:04:52.889 I have misjudged others. And I repent right now. 01:04:53.789 --> 01:04:58.969 And I reverse my judgments. Every bitter judgment. 01:04:59.610 --> 01:05:04.030 Every carnal judgment. Every natural judgment. 01:05:05.449 --> 01:05:12.309 Every sinful judgment. I reverse it. And you 01:05:12.309 --> 01:05:18.860 forgive me. And you set me free. from every wrong 01:05:18.860 --> 01:05:21.900 judgment. You set me free from the consequences. 01:05:23.619 --> 01:05:28.699 Right now it stops and you're turning things 01:05:28.699 --> 01:05:33.239 around in the name of Jesus. Now lift up your 01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:51.739 hands for 30 seconds and give God a praise. you 01:05:51.739 --> 01:05:54.460 are interested in hearing other podcasts or contacting 01:05:54.460 --> 01:05:58.239 Life Bible Church, go to www .lifebiblechurch 01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:03.039 .org or call us at 541 -995 -8282.
