WEBVTT

00:00:17.739 --> 00:00:20.100
I know you thought Jan was speaking, but thank

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:26.679
you for coming anyhow. It's a wonderful Lord

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:32.640
that we serve, isn't it? And every service, he

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.899
has done great things. He has. Jan this morning

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:41.320
was fabulous. I got right on the phone when I

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.789
got. back and told Debbie about it. I said, Jan

00:00:44.789 --> 00:00:47.670
told such amazing stories. She said, I've heard

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:49.649
Jan's stories. I said, yeah, but these were really

00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:56.009
good. No, Debbie loves you too. And excuse me,

00:00:56.030 --> 00:00:59.710
that's my wife in case you weren't sure. Some

00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:01.630
of you thought I was talking about my angel,

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:06.969
but that's not. I believe in angels, do you?

00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:11.030
And they're here tonight. Because they are assigned.

00:01:12.549 --> 00:01:16.489
Did you hear what I said? I'm a little uncomfortable

00:01:16.489 --> 00:01:19.329
sometimes around people that only see devils.

00:01:21.769 --> 00:01:24.829
And I understand about the activity of the demonic.

00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:29.870
But we've got a bunch of boys on our sides. Come

00:01:29.870 --> 00:01:36.489
on. That outshine all of the works of the enemy.

00:01:36.989 --> 00:01:41.140
Every bit of it. Wow. Well, do you need a miracle

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:43.920
tonight? Do you really need a miracle tonight?

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:48.159
Have you ever had God say something to you but

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.840
more than once? Have you? There's something the

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.060
Lord has said to me periodically throughout many

00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:59.239
years. Not every day, not every week, thank God.

00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:05.019
Not even every year. But it happens periodically.

00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:07.840
And it will usually happen like this. It will

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.460
happen when I'm walking into a church service.

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:11.580
And it makes no difference whether I'm actually

00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:14.400
speaking or whether I'm attending. It can happen

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.099
either way. And I'll come walking on in, and

00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:20.020
it will happen as I'm going to my seat. Not even

00:02:20.020 --> 00:02:22.439
thinking about this. I'm just coming in to sit

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.879
down. Where am I going to sit tonight? That's

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:26.500
what it's about. I'm just looking to find a seat.

00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:29.539
When his voice will come to me, and he'll say

00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:32.900
these words to me, he'll say, Dale, you can have

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:36.460
as much as you want. Now you would think he's

00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:37.979
saying this is going to be a bingo night for

00:02:37.979 --> 00:02:42.419
you. But that's not what he's saying. He will

00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:44.180
say to me, Dale, you can have as much as you

00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:50.759
want. But do you want anything? Or have you just

00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.759
come here on autopilot? Have you just simply

00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.680
come out of routine? Or is there a burn in your

00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.039
heart? A passion? for something great because,

00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.699
and he will say it again, you can have as much

00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:13.500
as you want. He doesn't say it to me often because

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.599
I don't think I come in brain dead most of the

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.740
time. I come in with a passion. But I got to

00:03:19.740 --> 00:03:22.120
tell you, I think every one of us, every one

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.819
of us find ourselves at times just doing routine.

00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.879
I'm going to say to you, do not let this night

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:35.250
be routine unto you. Come on, grab a passion

00:03:35.250 --> 00:03:39.669
right now and say, Jesus, I want this tonight.

00:03:39.930 --> 00:03:41.969
Come on, it just may be a greater revelation

00:03:41.969 --> 00:03:43.729
of him, but you got to get something tonight.

00:03:43.870 --> 00:03:46.129
Don't just come here and just listen to the speaker

00:03:46.129 --> 00:03:48.330
and enjoy the music. Come on, let's meet with

00:03:48.330 --> 00:03:51.430
the most high God and let us be transformed by

00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:54.580
him. In that great, powerful way. So I'm going

00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:56.520
to say it again. If you need a miracle, pick

00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.520
out something specific tonight. I talked at length

00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:00.979
about it last night. I'm not going to talk at

00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:02.759
length about it tonight because many of you know.

00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:05.039
Most of the miracles that happen in our ministry,

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.199
not all of them, but the great majority of them

00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.340
happen as I'm preaching. As I preach the word

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:11.800
of the Lord. Look, this is no new thing. The

00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.139
Bible says that they preached everywhere. I'm

00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:16.339
quoting the end of Mark 16. They preached everywhere.

00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.279
The Lord working with them and confirming his

00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.930
word. With signs following. I'm only going to

00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:27.029
be speaking the things that he is doing. And

00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:29.269
what I'm declaring will be the unfolding and

00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:32.230
revelation of what he is doing among us. So don't

00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:34.189
wait for the end of the service to get a miracle.

00:04:34.250 --> 00:04:36.790
You may get one then, but why wait to then when

00:04:36.790 --> 00:04:39.850
he's already here now? And you can receive now.

00:04:39.889 --> 00:04:42.689
And many, most of us will have a miracle shortly

00:04:42.689 --> 00:04:44.810
into this. If not, it's already begun. Because

00:04:44.810 --> 00:04:47.949
I already saw three clear healing streams again

00:04:47.949 --> 00:04:52.990
in this room tonight. What I know, Jesus is moving

00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:55.550
up and down these aisles. He's walking in between

00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:57.990
these pews, if I may say it that way. He's touching

00:04:57.990 --> 00:05:00.569
people right now. And miracles, come on, miracles

00:05:00.569 --> 00:05:06.990
will take place. They will take place here. Not

00:05:06.990 --> 00:05:11.569
somewhere else and not another time. Here. Right

00:05:11.569 --> 00:05:14.089
now. He's that glory. And you want to keep your

00:05:14.089 --> 00:05:17.310
heart open all the way through because it will

00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:20.290
happen. In some cases, when you least expect

00:05:20.290 --> 00:05:25.490
it, he is that glorious God. You know, I was

00:05:25.490 --> 00:05:30.029
ministering in Florida not long ago, and it was

00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:32.709
a church seating capacity very much like this.

00:05:34.670 --> 00:05:36.990
The healing had happened throughout the message.

00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:38.689
I'd called the folks up like I did last night

00:05:38.689 --> 00:05:40.810
to show us what God had done. And they had stretched

00:05:40.810 --> 00:05:43.269
literally like this across the building. And

00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:46.850
we heard from one after another. But when I got

00:05:46.850 --> 00:05:51.470
to the end, I saw a family coming down the aisle

00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:57.350
with a little 10 -year -old girl. And they joined

00:05:57.350 --> 00:06:00.310
the end of the testimony. Everybody knew them.

00:06:00.610 --> 00:06:03.170
They were a long time. attenders and members

00:06:03.170 --> 00:06:06.230
there. And the lady spoke up and said our daughter

00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:13.889
went totally blind in one eye. She could not

00:06:13.889 --> 00:06:16.470
see at all and lost a big portion of the sight

00:06:16.470 --> 00:06:19.189
with the other. And the doctors were concerned

00:06:19.189 --> 00:06:21.910
she would lose her whole sight. But they'd fitted

00:06:21.910 --> 00:06:25.050
her with glasses and she was managing. And they

00:06:25.050 --> 00:06:26.870
were sitting on the very, very back row of the

00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:30.439
church. We're now near the end of the testimony

00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.860
time when mom looks over and she sees her daughter

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:36.420
just playing there at the pew. You know, it's

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:38.480
a young girl in service. We've had the worship.

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:39.879
We've had the offering. We've been all preaching.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.519
We've had all these testimonies. You know, she's

00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.360
out to lunch. She's just playing. She's just

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.939
playing. But she had her glasses off. And so

00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:49.759
it bothered her mother, and she spoke in a very

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.800
stern southern woman way and said, why do you

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.740
have your glasses off? And her daughter just

00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:56.459
looked up at her and matter of fact and said,

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.259
oh, because I can see again. Just like that.

00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:08.480
Oh, because I can see again. I got to tell you,

00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.680
when I heard that, and then she demonstrated,

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.579
she had perfect sight in that eye that was completely

00:07:12.579 --> 00:07:14.399
blind. I turned around to say to the folks, well,

00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.360
we need to praise God. But when I did, the whole

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.339
place was already on their feet. And for the

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:22.939
next, oh, Lord, it was a long time. It was just

00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:27.680
a constant outbreak of praise. By the way, this

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.079
is America. I love to see what he does overseas,

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.819
but let me tell you, Jesus is great right here.

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.959
And then as I was about to leave, a family came

00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.639
down. They had one of those baby, what do you

00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.439
call them, those little carriers that you put

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.819
an infant in, you know, that you can also have

00:07:43.819 --> 00:07:46.300
for a car seat. They snap in and out. And they

00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:50.160
walked up, and they said, I want to show you

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.439
what happened to the baby tonight. This wasn't

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.279
their child. They were foster parents. And they

00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.040
said, this child is a little over a month old.

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.699
And she was brought into our services after the

00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:13.339
orthopedic surgeon had fixed the broken hip from

00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:17.439
the abuse. And this child had one leg this much

00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.879
shorter than the other. We don't know when it

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.980
happened, they said, but we looked down a few

00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:27.490
moments ago. And those legs are a perfect length.

00:08:29.069 --> 00:08:31.149
And they checked the child, and the child had

00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:38.049
no deformity left at all. And I thought about

00:08:38.049 --> 00:08:45.029
that. I thought about this Jesus. And now, this

00:08:45.029 --> 00:08:46.730
is the testimony, so I'm going to just give it

00:08:46.730 --> 00:08:49.009
to you. That's what we know. The rest I'm going

00:08:49.009 --> 00:08:51.350
to tell you is speculation. This is what I think.

00:08:53.029 --> 00:08:56.070
But I think... that one who always knows and

00:08:56.070 --> 00:09:03.870
who always cares, observed the abuse that happened

00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:09.210
to that little baby. And I think that maybe he

00:09:09.210 --> 00:09:13.570
had a hand in working through this bureaucracy

00:09:13.570 --> 00:09:19.590
system to put her into that home because he knew.

00:09:20.009 --> 00:09:22.309
that family that did not attend that church but

00:09:22.309 --> 00:09:24.590
always came when that church had special events,

00:09:24.909 --> 00:09:30.029
would be there on that first week of January

00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:35.029
because he was going to walk into that room and

00:09:35.029 --> 00:09:45.370
cure her that day. That's the one who's present

00:09:45.370 --> 00:09:51.590
right now in awesomeness. Great power. Great

00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:54.110
power. You expect your miracle. Pick one out.

00:09:54.129 --> 00:09:56.490
Pick one out right now. And while I'm speaking

00:09:56.490 --> 00:09:58.269
tonight, you look for something to happen between

00:09:58.269 --> 00:10:00.370
you and him. We talked last night about the many

00:10:00.370 --> 00:10:02.389
ways that could by witnessing your heart, by

00:10:02.389 --> 00:10:04.669
a touch on your body that's supernatural, or

00:10:04.669 --> 00:10:07.370
just like those folks that just a change. Why

00:10:07.370 --> 00:10:10.049
don't you have your glasses on anymore? Oh, she

00:10:10.049 --> 00:10:12.129
said, she did not say I felt a big touch. She

00:10:12.129 --> 00:10:14.190
did not say I saw a ray of light. She just said,

00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:17.710
oh, simply because I can see now. Maybe during

00:10:17.710 --> 00:10:21.250
this message, you will see differently. You will

00:10:21.250 --> 00:10:24.490
hear more clearly, or your pain will just go.

00:10:24.669 --> 00:10:27.070
But one way or the other, look for something

00:10:27.070 --> 00:10:31.850
more than just lights and speaker. Would you

00:10:31.850 --> 00:10:34.450
do that? Look for the moment of the Almighty

00:10:34.450 --> 00:10:40.070
with you. You know, I will confess to you, Pastor

00:10:40.070 --> 00:10:43.360
Brad, that... It was a bit of a challenge to

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.840
consider what I would speak on in this house.

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:49.159
And part of that is for this reason. A lot of

00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.220
times when I come to a place, my wife will say

00:10:51.220 --> 00:10:54.899
to me, you preach the same thing all the time.

00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:57.500
And she doesn't mean the same sermon. But my

00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:00.500
sermons are simplistic. So she tells me, this

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:02.580
is what a great compliment. She tells me that

00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:04.580
she says, I like your preaching better as a pastor.

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:10.370
Doesn't that encourage your soul? But as a pastor,

00:11:10.470 --> 00:11:14.409
see, I had people that were maturing, and I could

00:11:14.409 --> 00:11:15.669
build, and that's what she was talking about.

00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:17.769
I would teach in series and would teach in depth

00:11:17.769 --> 00:11:19.990
where when I come into a crusade, the message

00:11:19.990 --> 00:11:22.710
is always a simple type of thing because I only

00:11:22.710 --> 00:11:24.830
have about an hour in front of you, and I've

00:11:24.830 --> 00:11:26.330
got to get you to a place from who is the guy

00:11:26.330 --> 00:11:28.830
on the stage to getting a miracle from God. And

00:11:28.830 --> 00:11:31.250
so I found that it is the simplicity of the gospel

00:11:31.250 --> 00:11:34.250
that reaches the masses. That's what I've discovered.

00:11:35.750 --> 00:11:38.570
But I know, I recognized immediately in this

00:11:38.570 --> 00:11:40.789
house that this is a different kind of group.

00:11:41.909 --> 00:11:44.889
This is a group that has a, you got some meat

00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:48.269
on you. No, really, you do. You're a different

00:11:48.269 --> 00:11:49.850
kind of group. I can tell it by the way you carry

00:11:49.850 --> 00:11:51.769
yourself. I can tell it by the way you pray.

00:11:52.049 --> 00:11:54.409
I can absolutely tell it by the way you serve

00:11:54.409 --> 00:11:58.970
and also by the way that you worship. There's

00:11:58.970 --> 00:12:03.110
a maturity level in this house that is different.

00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.779
From many other places. Now that's a shame to

00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:10.799
say. Did you hear that? That is. Come on we should

00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.460
all be like this. And beyond. But obviously,

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.139
the gift that God has put in your house as your

00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:20.740
pastor and his wife and others have created what

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:23.139
is supposed to happen, and that is the development

00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:25.639
of the house of God. That is what the five -fold

00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.360
ministry is all about. It's not about shining

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.600
just themselves, but lifting others up in that

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.200
way. And so for that reason, I tell you, I look

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.279
at it and I say, well, I'd like to preach some

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.500
of that other stuff that I'd love to get into.

00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:41.019
But I want you to, you see, I think that there's

00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:43.259
more than faith in this house to be healed. I

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:45.279
think there's faith in this house for impartation.

00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.159
I think a lot of you, I think you'll get miracles

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.059
tonight. That's not the whole point of it. But

00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:54.240
I do believe that some of you are going to walk

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.720
out of this place and it's going to be more than

00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.259
just my ear here is better now or I don't have

00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:00.360
pain in my back anymore. But you're catching

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.879
something. You're picking up something that's

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.539
going to bring that to your children in the middle

00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:09.059
of the night. Did you hear this? And may I declare

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:10.740
that to you? It's going to bring it to the people

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:16.019
in the coffee house. And at work and in places

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:19.620
just like that. And so I thank God for what I've

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:22.980
seen and what I see in this room. It's just absolutely

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:25.720
amazing. Now, Brother Jan's got great material

00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.120
also in the back. He helps people mature in Christ

00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.120
Jesus. You've got books back there, is that right?

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:32.240
You didn't bring any 8 -tracks or tapes, right?

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:39.019
No, okay. Just wanted to be sure. I've written

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:42.779
one book. It's on healing. And I think you'd

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:44.740
enjoy it. Brother Schambach himself actually

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:47.320
read and did the forwarding on that book for

00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.700
me. But I don't have it in print. I don't have

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:52.399
it here. And that way, so if you go back, you'll

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.200
get all of Jan's material back there. But if

00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.820
you want to get mine, you're going to have to

00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:57.399
go to, let's see, do they have it up? No, they

00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.779
don't. Well, see, they don't care either. You

00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:03.100
go to, whoa, there, well, you know. Yeah, well,

00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.159
you can get it at, have you heard of Amazon before?

00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:08.570
You can get it at. at amazon .com. Just put Dale

00:14:08.570 --> 00:14:10.190
Everett and healing in there. It'll pop right

00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:12.549
to the top. If you like it on a Kindle format,

00:14:12.649 --> 00:14:15.730
if you like it. Just go to my website, DaleEverett

00:14:15.730 --> 00:14:18.590
.org. You can get it there. And you'll find some

00:14:18.590 --> 00:14:20.409
great things in there that will help you understand

00:14:20.409 --> 00:14:22.870
how to not just get healed but how to walk in

00:14:22.870 --> 00:14:25.730
healing. The concept of the book is healing God's

00:14:25.730 --> 00:14:28.230
power flowing through you. And I talk much about

00:14:28.230 --> 00:14:31.129
the ways that God has spoken to me in my lifetime,

00:14:31.169 --> 00:14:33.250
how I hear the voice of God, how I know how to

00:14:33.250 --> 00:14:34.889
respond. I also talk about how to deal with the

00:14:34.889 --> 00:14:37.309
demonic and how to deal with fear and other areas

00:14:37.309 --> 00:14:39.830
that will bring you forth in strength of healing.

00:14:40.029 --> 00:14:42.049
All right? Are you ready for God's word tonight?

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:45.519
Beautiful. I have scriptures before me, and they're

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.759
found in the book of 1 Corinthians, the second

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.639
chapter. 1 Corinthians chapter 2. And in verses

00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.100
9 through 12 is what I'm going to read. 1 Corinthians

00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:57.539
2 and verse 9. I invite you to open your Bible.

00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:59.200
If you don't have a Bible with you, then open

00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.879
your tablet or your phone or whatever. If you're

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:03.759
waiting for it to go on the screen, I didn't

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:08.299
give it to them. Oh, Lord, that means you've

00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:10.659
got to find it yourself. God, help us all. Here

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:12.379
we go. Do you remember, Pastor, the days in which

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:14.019
we knew when we could start reading because we

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:17.460
heard the Bible pages stop? Huh? That's when

00:15:17.460 --> 00:15:19.179
we all brought the Bible with us, didn't we?

00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:22.779
Well, hey, you know, seriousness, you need to

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:27.159
love the Word. You need to read the Word. And

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.080
hear me on this. You need to be familiar with

00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.840
the Word. I think some of the technology we have,

00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:37.200
and I love it all and I use it all, but I think

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.519
some of it has created a certain level of laziness

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:42.879
in us where we are unfamiliar with Scripture.

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.940
We don't even know where to turn because we don't

00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:50.360
hardly experience it unless we're at a moment

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.440
where they project it on the wall. But you say,

00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.799
well, preacher, you don't have a Bible with you

00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.840
either. The pastor asked me, he said, do you

00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.200
have a Bible? Bible I was talking about needing

00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.799
something up here and I don't but you know I

00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.259
mean I looked at it and I thought you know Moses

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:20.320
read from a tablet so can I alright yeah yeah

00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:25.120
he did yeah alright would you stand with me in

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.039
respect to the reading of scripture would you

00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:32.460
be so kind Oh, I feel his presence here. Let

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:34.059
me tell you where I'm going as far as the word

00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:35.419
is concerned. I'm going to talk to you about

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:39.879
grasping your answer today. May I say that again?

00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:43.059
Grasping your answer, now say it with me, today.

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:47.059
Today, yeah. Lay hold of that which is right

00:16:47.059 --> 00:16:52.340
now. We procrastinate our faith way too much.

00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:59.240
God's always going to do it. By the end of the

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.779
week. Here's the day he's going to do it. Someday.

00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:09.279
I know that today's educators are different than

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.759
the ones that educated me and Jan. School, I

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.619
know, is different. But I think there are certain

00:17:14.619 --> 00:17:17.279
things that are still the same. And one of the

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.180
things they taught me in school was this, that

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:22.619
there were seven days in a week. There was a

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:24.420
Sunday and a Monday and a Tuesday and a Wednesday

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:27.430
and a Thursday and a Friday and a Saturday. But

00:17:27.430 --> 00:17:32.230
there was no someday. Someday does not exist.

00:17:33.369 --> 00:17:35.250
If you're ever going to get something from God,

00:17:35.289 --> 00:17:38.150
you need to get it in the now. Really hear what

00:17:38.150 --> 00:17:39.869
I just said to you. If you're ever going to get

00:17:39.869 --> 00:17:41.269
it at all, you've got to bring it into the now

00:17:41.269 --> 00:17:45.809
moment. All right, you found it by now. I've

00:17:45.809 --> 00:17:48.329
given you time. I was doing that on purpose.

00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:50.930
It was 1 Corinthians. If you haven't found it

00:17:50.930 --> 00:17:52.710
by now, bless your darling heart, you never will.

00:17:52.829 --> 00:17:55.339
I'm just going to read. I'm just going to read,

00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:59.680
beginning at verse 9, all right? But as it is

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.519
written, now he's going to quote an Old Testament

00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.440
verse. As it is written, eye has not seen, nor

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.559
ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:18.180
man the things which God has prepared. I'm going

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:22.420
to read more, but are you listening? Eyes haven't

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:24.039
seen, ears haven't heard, hasn't entered the

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.839
heart of man. This is an Old Testament prophet

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:32.579
speaking. The things which God has prepared for

00:18:32.579 --> 00:18:40.599
those who love him. But God has revealed them

00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.019
to us. Oh, come on, that's a shouting moment

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:48.819
right there. The things that men never could

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:51.059
see. They couldn't figure it out. They never

00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:54.220
heard it. The things that had never entered their

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:56.579
heart. The things that were already there that

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:59.059
God had prepared for those who love him. He's

00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:02.579
now revealed them to us. Come on, our eyes are

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:06.539
open. Are you hearing? Jesus would say, he that

00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:08.740
has ears to hear, let him hear. This is true.

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.799
God has revealed them to us through his spirit.

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:13.880
For the spirit searches all things. Yes, the

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.619
deep things of God. For what man knows the things

00:19:16.619 --> 00:19:18.640
of a man except the spirit of man which is in

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.319
him. Even so no one knows the things of God except

00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:26.400
the spirit of God. Now we have received. Not

00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.599
the spirit of the world. But the spirit who is

00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.880
from God. Now look at these words. That we might

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:43.640
know. That we might know. Come on. You're supposed

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:49.329
to know. You're supposed to know. I don't know

00:19:49.329 --> 00:19:51.569
why it is in the church that sometimes we glorify

00:19:51.569 --> 00:19:56.569
ignorance. Our people testify like this. You

00:19:56.569 --> 00:19:58.849
know, oh, I had such a great idea. And you know,

00:19:58.930 --> 00:20:01.730
and I can't even tell you how, but the Lord came

00:20:01.730 --> 00:20:03.529
through and we're all, hallelujah. I'm thinking,

00:20:03.569 --> 00:20:05.410
wait, wait, you should be able to tell us how.

00:20:08.769 --> 00:20:10.509
It's not enough to be saved. You need to know

00:20:10.509 --> 00:20:12.630
how to bring this gift to God to someone else.

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.819
Did you catch that? I'm not saying you figured

00:20:16.819 --> 00:20:19.079
out the Almighty, but when God moves within your

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:21.900
life, he wants to show you the way, not just

00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:30.920
shock you. The things that we might know, the

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:36.380
things that have been freely given to us by God.

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:45.539
You've got more than you know. You've got more

00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:51.900
than you let yourself believe. You're greatly

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:58.480
supplied. And we are waiting for things to come

00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:03.680
that have already arrived. You may be seated.

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:10.539
Thank you. I was asking God, praying a prayer

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:12.160
that I'll bet everybody in the room has prayed.

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.349
And it's an appropriate prayer. But I was asking

00:21:15.349 --> 00:21:20.049
God for his blessing. Would you bless me? And

00:21:20.049 --> 00:21:21.569
the Lord came to me and he said, let me help

00:21:21.569 --> 00:21:24.529
you in that prayer. He said, the truth is, Dale,

00:21:24.569 --> 00:21:27.450
that blessings are going by you like this. I

00:21:27.450 --> 00:21:29.710
mean, they're all around you. They're coming

00:21:29.710 --> 00:21:33.829
in at warp speed. They're whizzing, right? You're

00:21:33.829 --> 00:21:36.829
asking me to bless you. And it reminded me of

00:21:36.829 --> 00:21:38.809
the passage that we are blessed with all spiritual

00:21:38.809 --> 00:21:41.250
blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

00:21:41.390 --> 00:21:44.750
He says, they're coming by you like this. Here,

00:21:44.809 --> 00:21:46.829
let me help you pray. He said, this is how I

00:21:46.829 --> 00:21:49.150
want you to pray. You need to pray for faith

00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:55.349
to see them and boldness to grasp them. Did you

00:21:55.349 --> 00:21:58.329
hear that? Faith to see it. It's right there.

00:21:59.750 --> 00:22:02.569
But then you need boldness to lay hold on them.

00:22:02.609 --> 00:22:04.250
Do you know, if you read especially the first

00:22:04.250 --> 00:22:06.869
three chapters of Acts, the New Testament church,

00:22:07.089 --> 00:22:11.410
they did not pray for faith. They prayed for

00:22:11.410 --> 00:22:15.759
boldness. They had walked with Jesus. They had

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.539
seen and heard of him, and they knew exactly

00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:21.119
how this thing would operate. It wasn't a matter

00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:23.420
of getting God to perform. It was getting men

00:22:23.420 --> 00:22:30.039
to stand up and cooperate. Boldness. It's the

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.579
key to the kingdom, you understand. It's one

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:33.940
of the great keys in the kingdom. Your faith

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:41.839
will never operate above your boldness. If there

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.940
is a lid at all, that's it. So raise the lid.

00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:53.420
Become bold. Bold. Why don't you try being bold?

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.779
Be bold in Jesus' name. Become boldly into the

00:22:57.779 --> 00:23:00.819
throne of grace. I didn't say cocky. There's

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:02.900
a difference between arrogance and boldness.

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.200
They might look the same to a casual onlooker,

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:09.519
but they are different. Arrogance and cockiness

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:12.599
comes from an incorrect assessment of oneself.

00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:23.619
Boldness is born of relationship, not of cockiness.

00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:29.500
If I was sitting at the table today with my son,

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:33.460
now, the pastor's mother and dad had us into

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:39.880
the home, and they fed us a meal that you had

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:48.400
to repent of gluttony afterwards. Now, if my

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.519
son was nearby, here's what could happen. Like

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:54.359
when we prayed, I would have to have one eye

00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:59.960
open. I would have to protect my plate. If he

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:01.619
saw something on there he wanted, he'd grab that

00:24:01.619 --> 00:24:03.259
baby right on off. When he comes to our home,

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.759
he just comes right to the refrigerator, and

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:07.859
he pops the door open, no questions asked. He

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:09.819
does that. Now, he would not do that in your

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:12.390
house. I would never have to say to him, now

00:24:12.390 --> 00:24:13.809
we're going somewhere, don't do that in their

00:24:13.809 --> 00:24:15.549
house. He would not do that in your house. And

00:24:15.549 --> 00:24:17.630
you might have table fare as nice as what we

00:24:17.630 --> 00:24:19.910
had or something in your refrigerator as delightful

00:24:19.910 --> 00:24:21.849
as he would want, but he would not do that in

00:24:21.849 --> 00:24:23.269
your house because he doesn't have that kind

00:24:23.269 --> 00:24:28.210
of relationship. But with me, it's a whole other

00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:32.150
matter. Did you get what I'm talking about? It's

00:24:32.150 --> 00:24:35.210
not a matter of arrogance. When he walks in,

00:24:35.269 --> 00:24:42.359
he knows he fits in. Did you catch that? You're

00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:44.980
not just at the table of the Lord. You belong

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:50.960
there. Believe me, that takes the help of God

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:54.339
to bring us to that understanding. Because you

00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:55.819
see, when we sit down at the marriage supper

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:57.980
of the Lamb, you might be seated between Barnabas

00:24:57.980 --> 00:25:06.259
and Paul. Hello. And without the help of God,

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:07.779
I might be sitting there thinking, am I in the

00:25:07.779 --> 00:25:12.460
right spot? You know, there was an old time hymn

00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:14.799
we used to sing. It said, I'd be happy with just

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.400
a cabin in the corner of glory land. Here's the

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:19.940
problem with that. There are no cabins there.

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.279
And there's nobody that's supposed to live in

00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:28.779
such a thing. Not in this household. Boldness.

00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.420
It's not arrogance. It's born of relationship.

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:35.059
The closer you draw to him and the more you understand

00:25:35.059 --> 00:25:37.680
who you are in him and how he sees you, the more

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.619
you will be bold in the name of the Lord Jesus

00:25:39.619 --> 00:25:43.740
Christ. Talk about grasping your answer today.

00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:46.539
There are things that guys have never seen, never

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:48.339
figured out, never heard. Right today, God's

00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:50.460
revealing them to us by his spirit. It's happening

00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:53.240
right now in this room. And these are things

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.900
that he has prepared. It's not a matter, these

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:56.839
are things he can do. These are things he has

00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.759
done. It's right out there, dude. You just need

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.079
to lay hold on it. You need to see it, and you

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.960
need to have boldness to reach out and grasp

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.220
it. Am I helping you tonight? Let me tell you

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:09.480
something else that has helped me grab a hold

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:12.410
of a miracle in the now. in the now moment. And

00:26:12.410 --> 00:26:16.230
that is when I finally understood that I didn't

00:26:16.230 --> 00:26:19.730
have to make it happen. And I can't tell you.

00:26:19.730 --> 00:26:22.049
Yeah, go ahead. I can't tell you how many people

00:26:22.049 --> 00:26:23.529
I've helped with that when I prayed with them

00:26:23.529 --> 00:26:25.150
and I've said, look, look me right in the eye.

00:26:25.210 --> 00:26:27.549
You don't have to make this happen. But sometimes

00:26:27.549 --> 00:26:30.369
we think we've got to do it. You know, that we

00:26:30.369 --> 00:26:32.410
have to have whatever, that we have to have enough

00:26:32.410 --> 00:26:35.849
faith or enough time in prayer or enough spiritual

00:26:35.849 --> 00:26:38.690
insight for God to be able to do that. I think

00:26:38.690 --> 00:26:40.730
I mentioned last night how I was preaching that

00:26:40.730 --> 00:26:43.130
kind of a concept one time, and I was telling

00:26:43.130 --> 00:26:44.930
people this, that I've heard a lot of preachers

00:26:44.930 --> 00:26:47.250
say, that if you believe, God can do it. And

00:26:47.250 --> 00:26:48.529
the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me. He said,

00:26:48.569 --> 00:26:51.730
I can do it whether you believe or not. He said,

00:26:51.750 --> 00:26:55.390
what made you think I need you to be me? And

00:26:55.390 --> 00:26:57.410
then I understood something, that we had a mis...

00:26:57.630 --> 00:26:59.769
misunderstanding of the things of the spirit

00:26:59.769 --> 00:27:03.430
and specifically about faith that I think sometimes

00:27:03.430 --> 00:27:08.710
we think that our faith how can I say this that

00:27:08.710 --> 00:27:13.430
our faith is God's energy that we come before

00:27:13.430 --> 00:27:16.049
him and we give him faith and then he can do

00:27:16.049 --> 00:27:20.309
what we have faith for well that's absurd to

00:27:20.309 --> 00:27:26.210
think that God needs us to be him I want to challenge

00:27:26.210 --> 00:27:29.490
your way of thinking right now. Sometimes we

00:27:29.490 --> 00:27:31.390
even think of faith as, you know, I don't know,

00:27:31.450 --> 00:27:33.430
it's kind of like, you know, the old Incredible

00:27:33.430 --> 00:27:35.369
Hulk. Remember the old TV program, Incredible

00:27:35.369 --> 00:27:38.529
Hulk? You know, Bill Bixby, that when they hit

00:27:38.529 --> 00:27:40.109
him with the gamma rays, he swolled up real big,

00:27:40.190 --> 00:27:41.490
you know? And so when you hit him with the gamma

00:27:41.490 --> 00:27:43.970
ray of faith, he just gets right out there. But

00:27:43.970 --> 00:27:45.769
when you have some unbelief, he just shrivels

00:27:45.769 --> 00:27:50.390
right down to being old Bill Bixby. I just lost

00:27:50.390 --> 00:27:54.289
everybody under 50 right there, didn't I? It's

00:27:54.289 --> 00:27:56.769
all right. All right. We'll just skip to a bro

00:27:56.769 --> 00:28:02.569
cream commercial and bring you up to date. It's

00:28:02.569 --> 00:28:04.470
all right. I see people that are 18 right now

00:28:04.470 --> 00:28:11.029
going on YouTube and finding that. There's nothing

00:28:11.029 --> 00:28:16.029
I do that makes him who he is. Actually, my faith

00:28:16.029 --> 00:28:21.789
has nothing for God at all. He has no need. Faith

00:28:21.789 --> 00:28:27.980
opens me. Not him. Did you get that? That's why

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:34.000
he is the author and finisher of my faith. I

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.759
don't bring to him faith. He imparts to me faith.

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:42.500
And then I, in faith, cooperate with him who

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:46.700
is whole and complete within himself. Are you

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:50.470
catching what I'm talking about? My... life was

00:28:50.470 --> 00:28:53.049
transformed and I entered into a place of being

00:28:53.049 --> 00:28:55.549
able to grasp in the now that which is when I

00:28:55.549 --> 00:28:58.309
understood I didn't have to make it happen I

00:28:58.309 --> 00:29:02.269
told people I got delivered I did I got delivered

00:29:02.269 --> 00:29:04.009
I didn't have to get delivered from drugs or

00:29:04.009 --> 00:29:06.049
alcohol or things like that I thank God for those

00:29:06.049 --> 00:29:08.470
who have that's not my testimony I just got delivered

00:29:08.470 --> 00:29:13.900
from thinking God needed me to be God And that

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:15.240
could be looked at as an arrogance statement,

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.960
but that wasn't arrogance. It was what I was

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.319
just describing to you. I thought I had to come

00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:24.519
prepared and all together prayed up on top of

00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:26.559
the game for him to be able to do his stuff.

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.579
I just finished a television shoot in Buffalo,

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:33.420
New York with Brother Tommy Reed. I don't know

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:35.000
if you all know who Tommy Reed is, but a great

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.140
man of God and one who served our brother Yungi

00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:42.660
Cho for many, many years. He's now in his 80s

00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:44.339
and he's still knocking it out of the ballpark.

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.319
I got a text from him just this week. He's 89

00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.319
years old and this guy's impacting the world

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:55.200
with the gospel. We had just finished a shoot

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.099
and now we were driving to lunch together and

00:29:57.099 --> 00:30:01.980
Brother Reed was driving. I was in the back seat.

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.279
Doc Kellner was in the other seat in the front.

00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:09.000
And Brother Reed... Just look back for a moment.

00:30:09.059 --> 00:30:10.640
He said, Dale, when you go into a crusade, what

00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:13.660
exactly are you looking for? What are you looking

00:30:13.660 --> 00:30:14.960
for when you go to a crusade? Now, he didn't

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:17.039
say that because he didn't know who I was. I've

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:18.779
been preaching in this church since I was a teenager.

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:25.180
So it wasn't that. I remember Kellner said, that's

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:26.599
a tough question. I said, no, it's actually very

00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:29.319
easy. I said, whenever I go into a crusade, this

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:31.720
is what I'm looking for. I'm looking for more

00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:38.130
than me. Did you hear that? Now, I wasn't trying

00:30:38.130 --> 00:30:40.990
to be humble. What I was saying was this. When

00:30:40.990 --> 00:30:43.390
I come into a crusade like this, now, I know

00:30:43.390 --> 00:30:47.809
the call that's within my life. I'm not unsure

00:30:47.809 --> 00:30:52.490
of it. And I know the giftings that God has brought

00:30:52.490 --> 00:30:54.509
to me. There are certain gifts of healing that

00:30:54.509 --> 00:30:58.410
flow consistently in my life, and I know them.

00:30:58.509 --> 00:31:01.309
I'm familiar. I know when I'm operating them.

00:31:01.369 --> 00:31:03.500
I can tell when they open up. Men of faith know

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:05.299
exactly what I'm saying. This is not an arrogant

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:06.799
statement. It's just like you know how to speak

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.019
with tongues. I know when these certain operation

00:31:09.019 --> 00:31:11.559
gifts happen within me, and I know how to touch

00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:13.500
God and move in them. Just like you know how

00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:15.220
to speak in tongues, I can do these other things.

00:31:15.339 --> 00:31:17.220
So I want you to understand what I'm saying.

00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:19.680
When I come into a crusade, you say, well, I

00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.960
guess that's what you're going right there. You

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:23.640
know right where your faith is at. I know where

00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:25.680
my faith is at, but when I come into a crusade,

00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.339
that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:30.839
for more than me. I'm looking for something that

00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.980
is bigger than my faith. I'm looking for something

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:36.880
that's greater than my anointing. Are you hearing

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:38.880
me? I'm looking for something that exceeds the

00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:41.920
giftings of God within my life. Because he who

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:44.920
has given me this, these are precious and wonderful,

00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:49.359
but he is more. Oh, come on, church. He is more.

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.740
He's more than what you've seen. He's more than

00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:55.160
what you believe. He's more than what you understand.

00:31:55.720 --> 00:32:00.539
He is, come on, he's more. And because you have

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:03.140
not yet seen it does not mean it doesn't exist.

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:06.180
And because you have not yet walked in it does

00:32:06.180 --> 00:32:08.480
not mean it's outside of the scope of what's

00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:10.579
available for you. I'm telling you, there's way

00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:12.960
more available to us than what we understand.

00:32:14.859 --> 00:32:18.259
And so wherever I go, here or elsewhere across

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:20.720
the world, and I step into a moment, I'm not

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.740
looking for that which I know and I believe.

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:27.579
I'm looking for that which is more than me. Way

00:32:27.579 --> 00:32:32.619
more. Way more. That's who he is. And he wants

00:32:32.619 --> 00:32:35.980
to bring you into that. He's revealing that by

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:38.059
his spirit. And one of the things that really

00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:41.380
helped me get there is when I finally recognized

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:45.279
I didn't have to make it happen. It wasn't up

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:51.420
to me. Now, a little couple of things for you.

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.500
If you'll buy into what I'm telling you, I'll

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:57.039
do a couple of things for you. It'll take the

00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:01.299
shackles off of you. from stepping into the power

00:33:01.299 --> 00:33:04.500
of God. Because if you don't believe this, you're

00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:08.640
always going to wait until you're ready. That

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:13.420
means you're going to be waiting forever. You

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:15.980
can get out of the boat, but you've got to step

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:21.140
over the side. The other thing it'll do for you,

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:24.039
and you'll have to hear this properly to understand

00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:28.779
it, it will deliver you from the fear of failure.

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:34.799
When you understand it's more than me and I don't

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.680
have to make it happen. It's not that we don't

00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:38.079
pray. It's not that we don't prepare our heart.

00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:39.779
But I understand this thing is way beyond me.

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:45.619
My mentor, the old voice of healing preacher

00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:48.460
that so impacted my life and trained me, he told

00:33:48.460 --> 00:33:51.819
me this. He said, Dale, he said, and he had great

00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:54.779
healing gifts, amazing gifts of God. But he said,

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:56.559
when people get healed, Dale, he says, I don't

00:33:56.559 --> 00:34:00.180
take the glory. I don't take the glory when people

00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:04.200
get healed. I got that. And he looked me right

00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:06.059
in the eye and he says, and I don't take the

00:34:06.059 --> 00:34:11.260
blame when they don't. Did you understand? Now

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:15.079
he didn't say I put the blame on them. He wasn't

00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:16.940
saying that at all. He was saying I will not

00:34:16.940 --> 00:34:20.800
walk in a sense of intimidation and fear and

00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:25.440
condemnation. Did you get that? Am I helping

00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:27.500
you right now? One of the things that will help

00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:31.940
you step into a now miracle. Is when you understand,

00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:36.400
you don't have to make it happen. You don't have

00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:38.840
to make it happen. It doesn't hinge on you. Come

00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.980
on. Get that pressure off of you. Get that pressure

00:34:42.980 --> 00:34:47.199
off of you. And walk in that kind of light and

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:52.940
revelation. Hallelujah. So when that devil stands

00:34:52.940 --> 00:34:55.280
up against you and says, you think you've got

00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.820
enough faith to beat me? My answer would basically

00:34:58.820 --> 00:35:02.559
be. Well, of course. But you've got to understand

00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:03.980
the beating you're going to get is going to be

00:35:03.980 --> 00:35:17.760
way beyond my faith. Amen. Another thing that

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:22.280
has helped me grasp a miracle in the now today

00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:26.980
is when I really understood that God has provided.

00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:33.480
Everything I need, he has provided. Quit asking

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:38.219
him to do the stuff he's already done. Come on,

00:35:38.219 --> 00:35:40.400
he has provided. Or let me say it to you like

00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.599
this. Our God is, he's proactive, not reactive.

00:35:47.699 --> 00:35:51.800
He's ahead of the devil. He's ahead of our needs.

00:35:53.059 --> 00:35:56.849
And he's beyond our troubles. I think sometimes

00:35:56.849 --> 00:36:01.909
we see God as a God who comes through in the

00:36:01.909 --> 00:36:08.090
nick of time. You know, in the end, you'll see.

00:36:08.510 --> 00:36:13.489
God will come through. So the devil starts a

00:36:13.489 --> 00:36:18.369
fire over here. And we think, oh, see that fire?

00:36:18.530 --> 00:36:21.570
That's not, I can, look at me. You can stamp

00:36:21.570 --> 00:36:23.309
that baby right out. Oh, look, there's another

00:36:23.309 --> 00:36:24.849
one over there. No problem. No problem. I can

00:36:24.849 --> 00:36:26.889
get that one over here just like that. You see

00:36:26.889 --> 00:36:28.929
that one? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm coming. That's

00:36:28.929 --> 00:36:32.949
not it at all. That's not it at all. Let me tell

00:36:32.949 --> 00:36:36.170
you about my God. Before the devil starts to

00:36:36.170 --> 00:36:43.849
fire, he's already there. The answers come before

00:36:43.849 --> 00:36:49.400
the trouble is known. You know, when I see problems

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.219
arise, people say, what do you think? You see

00:36:52.219 --> 00:36:53.559
that problem? What do you think about that? I

00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:55.320
say, well, now I can finally figure out what

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:59.360
God's going to do. Because this thing shows me.

00:37:03.300 --> 00:37:06.039
Isaiah 65, 24, it says, it shall come to pass

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:10.559
that before they call, I will answer. And while

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:14.059
they are still speaking, I will hear. Well, isn't

00:37:14.059 --> 00:37:18.559
that nice of him? Before they call, I will answer.

00:37:19.699 --> 00:37:22.840
And he says, then while you're telling about

00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.219
it, I'll listen to you. But I've already got

00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:31.980
it done. Isn't that sweet? Come on. Isn't that

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:42.500
great? We say the Lamb of God was slain 2 ,000

00:37:42.500 --> 00:37:46.840
years ago for our sin. But Revelation 13, 8 says

00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:48.860
the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the

00:37:48.860 --> 00:37:54.840
world. Before there was sin, there was a Savior.

00:37:59.900 --> 00:38:03.960
I told you when I see those streams of healing,

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:05.579
they come in very narrow, but somewhere in the

00:38:05.579 --> 00:38:07.380
message they go wide, and they're wide right

00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:10.239
now. Whatever miracle you need, would you take

00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:13.099
it from God? It's here. I feel the pull. I felt

00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:15.340
it twice already. There's an anointing that's

00:38:15.340 --> 00:38:17.619
delivering and healing. Come on, grab your miracle

00:38:17.619 --> 00:38:21.280
right now. This is a strong moment. Before you

00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:26.119
call, before you've ever thought about it, before

00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:29.119
you knew there was a problem, before the devil

00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.519
could get enough together to give you the problem,

00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:41.139
he was already your answer. 1 Peter 2 .24 says,

00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:44.559
Whomself bore our sins and his own. body on the

00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.440
tree, that we, having died to sins, might live

00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:51.179
for righteousness. You know that last line, don't

00:38:51.179 --> 00:38:55.320
you? By whose stripes you were healed. He's talking

00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:57.880
about divine healing. Isaiah saw it very clearly,

00:38:57.980 --> 00:39:01.679
and he said, when he looked at the sacrifice

00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:04.099
of Jesus, he said, by his stripes we are healed.

00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:05.320
I mean, he looked at it and said, oh, look at

00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.119
that, we are healed. He didn't say we can get

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.780
healed. When he saw it, he saw it as a done deal.

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:14.260
Do you understand that? So I used to read that

00:39:14.260 --> 00:39:15.900
passage for years and I thought, that's it, that's

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:17.679
my promise. That's how I can get healed. But

00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:20.619
Isaiah did not say, I see that healing can happen.

00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:22.480
He said, he looked at it and he said, well, look

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:24.539
at that, will you? We're healed. Peter looked

00:39:24.539 --> 00:39:26.000
at it and he said, by whose stripes you were

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:32.880
healed. So excuse my grammar again. But before

00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:37.960
I get sick, I were healed. Did you all hear that?

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:43.309
Yeah, before I get sick, I were healed. he's

00:39:43.309 --> 00:39:47.329
already provided. The thing that's helped me

00:39:47.329 --> 00:39:50.869
grasp a miracle in the now, right now, today,

00:39:51.130 --> 00:39:54.590
not someday, not he will do, what's helped me

00:39:54.590 --> 00:39:57.469
step into a moment and grab a miracle, there's

00:39:57.469 --> 00:39:59.710
many of them. One of them is a sense of boldness,

00:39:59.769 --> 00:40:01.730
just drawing near to him and understanding who

00:40:01.730 --> 00:40:04.849
he is and how he feels toward me, and then recognizing

00:40:04.849 --> 00:40:07.280
I don't have to make it happen anyhow. So I don't

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.460
have to like get it all together before. No,

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:12.019
it's right there. Come on. And then when I realized

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:14.579
that, well, he's already provided this thing.

00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:18.019
And when I step into the room, the provision's

00:40:18.019 --> 00:40:20.880
already there. It's not an issue that he's going

00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:25.599
to take the request into consideration. And then

00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.480
think about it. And if it's his will and his

00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.239
divine purpose for the longevity of your life,

00:40:30.300 --> 00:40:31.920
that he might come up with the answer. And when

00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:36.019
you meet with him, you two can hash it out. You

00:40:36.019 --> 00:40:40.659
know, he's actually already done it. Well, he's

00:40:40.659 --> 00:40:44.500
already provided. Another great thing that has

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:46.619
helped me and many others receive him, am I helping

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:49.559
you tonight? All right, is this. Here's another

00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:52.079
idea, that you enter a miracle through rest,

00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:56.940
not through struggle. You enter a miracle through

00:40:56.940 --> 00:41:03.519
rest, not through struggle. Now, in Hebrews chapter

00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:07.789
3 and also chapter 4, The writer of Hebrews is

00:41:07.789 --> 00:41:11.710
addressing the differences between the two generations

00:41:11.710 --> 00:41:15.329
of Israel that came out of Egypt. You had the

00:41:15.329 --> 00:41:18.190
first generation, the adults, that came out,

00:41:18.250 --> 00:41:21.170
and you have the second generation, the children,

00:41:21.309 --> 00:41:26.409
that came out with them. Now, the goal and the

00:41:26.409 --> 00:41:31.190
purpose of God was not to get them out, but to

00:41:31.190 --> 00:41:35.500
get them in. Do you understand that? That was

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:37.380
the purpose of God. The purpose of God was not

00:41:37.380 --> 00:41:39.800
to get them out of Egypt. He had to get them

00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:41.960
out of Egypt, but that wasn't the goal. The goal

00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:44.820
was not to get out. The goal was to get in the

00:41:44.820 --> 00:41:48.739
land of promise. The first generation never received

00:41:48.739 --> 00:41:53.150
the goal. They died in the wilderness. And in

00:41:53.150 --> 00:41:56.250
those two chapters of Hebrews, he tells us exactly

00:41:56.250 --> 00:41:59.210
why. It does not need interpretation. You don't

00:41:59.210 --> 00:42:02.469
need a concordance or anything else to determine

00:42:02.469 --> 00:42:05.369
it. He just flat out says it. They did not enter

00:42:05.369 --> 00:42:09.230
in because of unbelief. That's what he said.

00:42:09.849 --> 00:42:12.170
That first generation, they did not enter in

00:42:12.170 --> 00:42:16.389
because of unbelief. Now, the second generation

00:42:16.389 --> 00:42:20.809
got in. And you would think that he would have

00:42:20.809 --> 00:42:24.469
said, That they got in because of faith. But

00:42:24.469 --> 00:42:27.949
he did not say that. It was involved, but that's

00:42:27.949 --> 00:42:33.650
not what he called it. He said this. They entered

00:42:33.650 --> 00:42:40.429
into my rest. Oh, wow. In fact, it became thematic

00:42:40.429 --> 00:42:44.090
throughout those verses. The entering into his

00:42:44.090 --> 00:42:46.750
rest. And then I understood something. That in

00:42:46.750 --> 00:42:52.860
the mind of God, rest. And faith are synonymous.

00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:58.139
That if you were to step into God's office and

00:42:58.139 --> 00:43:01.599
pick up the thesaurus on his desk, and you were

00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:05.099
to open it up to the word faith, you would see

00:43:05.099 --> 00:43:07.059
the word rest there. And if you went over and

00:43:07.059 --> 00:43:09.320
opened up to the word rest, you'd see the word

00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:12.780
faith there. Because in God's mind, when faith

00:43:12.780 --> 00:43:17.940
comes, the struggle ends. Are you hearing this?

00:43:18.989 --> 00:43:24.789
I know when I'm operating in faith because I'm

00:43:24.789 --> 00:43:31.349
through the breaking point. And when I step through

00:43:31.349 --> 00:43:35.809
that and into that place of his presence and

00:43:35.809 --> 00:43:40.489
of his imparted faith, there is no struggle.

00:43:41.889 --> 00:43:44.929
You all know what I'm talking about. I can tell

00:43:44.929 --> 00:43:48.679
it. The song arises. The shout is there. The

00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:53.619
dance begins. The burden is lifted. You enter

00:43:53.619 --> 00:43:59.820
a miracle not through struggle, but through rest.

00:44:01.539 --> 00:44:07.260
So when I find myself really trying hard to believe,

00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:09.659
I realize I'm not there. I'm not even in the

00:44:09.659 --> 00:44:13.550
right direction. I'm not going to get there that

00:44:13.550 --> 00:44:15.809
way. We were talking about people receiving the

00:44:15.809 --> 00:44:17.949
Holy Ghost today, and we've seen as many as 2

00:44:17.949 --> 00:44:20.530
,500 in a single service receiving the baptism.

00:44:20.730 --> 00:44:22.670
But you all that have ministered to folks that

00:44:22.670 --> 00:44:24.829
are at the point of receiving the gift of the

00:44:24.829 --> 00:44:26.750
Holy Ghost, you can tell sometimes just by the

00:44:26.750 --> 00:44:29.510
look on their face. I'm in many countries where

00:44:29.510 --> 00:44:32.650
all the languages are unknown tongues to me,

00:44:32.710 --> 00:44:34.030
and someone says, well, how are we going to tell

00:44:34.030 --> 00:44:35.869
if they're speaking in tongues or not? I said,

00:44:35.889 --> 00:44:37.329
it'll be very easy. Just look at their face.

00:44:39.989 --> 00:44:42.449
You won't have to understand what their native

00:44:42.449 --> 00:44:44.710
language is versus whether they're speaking or

00:44:44.710 --> 00:44:46.710
not. Just look at it. There is something there

00:44:46.710 --> 00:44:49.030
that's very readable. Does anyone know what I'm

00:44:49.030 --> 00:44:51.750
talking about? And I can tell when a person's

00:44:51.750 --> 00:44:53.530
not going to get it. You can look on their face

00:44:53.530 --> 00:44:56.670
and it just looks kind of like this. You say,

00:44:56.710 --> 00:44:59.789
well, that's not happening here, buddy. Because

00:44:59.789 --> 00:45:03.010
it doesn't work that way. All you get out of

00:45:03.010 --> 00:45:06.730
that is a spiritual hernia. You don't step into

00:45:06.730 --> 00:45:15.760
a miracle. When I find myself knotted up, I realize

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:17.659
I'm not going to enter into that miracle right

00:45:17.659 --> 00:45:21.239
now. I need to stop. And I need to work. And

00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:23.000
I want to say that here's what I do. You take

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:28.280
it within the theological diction of our island

00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:31.559
brethren from the Caribbean. They would tell

00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:35.320
us this. They would say, you just need to mellow

00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:42.230
out, dude. No, you need to find that place of

00:45:42.230 --> 00:45:49.530
rest in him. I look for the moments in which

00:45:49.530 --> 00:45:57.809
he will carry me along. I look for, when you

00:45:57.809 --> 00:45:59.210
say, well, how do you pray for a miracle? Sometimes

00:45:59.210 --> 00:46:02.590
I just sit before him. I just wait upon him.

00:46:02.670 --> 00:46:05.570
I worship him, but I wait upon him. And there

00:46:05.570 --> 00:46:08.869
comes a moment in which, oh, that we would have.

00:46:10.250 --> 00:46:12.989
Oh, that we would have more confidence in him

00:46:12.989 --> 00:46:16.610
than we do in our theological understandings

00:46:16.610 --> 00:46:22.650
and in all of our teachings, our systems. And

00:46:22.650 --> 00:46:25.989
I'm not just talking about dogma of mainline

00:46:25.989 --> 00:46:28.860
churches. You can't believe that. junk that we've

00:46:28.860 --> 00:46:31.840
got in our present day charismatic full gospel

00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:34.079
whatever you want to call them churches we got

00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:36.579
we've got you know brother Oral Roberts used

00:46:36.579 --> 00:46:38.699
to say everybody knows who Oral Roberts was right

00:46:38.699 --> 00:46:40.519
brother Oral Roberts when he had those big tent

00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:42.860
crusades he would say once I can get past the

00:46:42.860 --> 00:46:44.659
Pentecostal people we can start having miracles

00:46:47.019 --> 00:46:49.019
Because, you see, what we are, people like us,

00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:50.659
what we've been doing is we've been trained the

00:46:50.659 --> 00:46:52.260
right stuff. We've been told that, you know,

00:46:52.300 --> 00:46:53.599
you need to have faith. You need to believe God.

00:46:53.780 --> 00:46:55.400
You need to get your heart right with God. You

00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:57.139
need to draw near to him. And we've got all these,

00:46:57.179 --> 00:46:59.539
and they're not bad. There is truth in all this,

00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.199
but it's just not all the truth. And what happens

00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:04.480
to us is we've got a lot of rules about what

00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:06.639
it takes to get a miracle. And, therefore, when

00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.940
one of us get a miracle, it's really a miracle.

00:47:11.860 --> 00:47:14.179
Because we put all these steps and things we've

00:47:14.179 --> 00:47:17.389
got to do. To get one, you know, it's very easy

00:47:17.389 --> 00:47:20.050
to believe God. Here are the 47 steps you need

00:47:20.050 --> 00:47:22.670
to do to get your miracle. We have figured it

00:47:22.670 --> 00:47:24.469
out, you know, and then we teach all these things.

00:47:24.550 --> 00:47:26.789
It's wonderful teaching, you know, and then we

00:47:26.789 --> 00:47:31.710
choke to death on them. Come on, guys. Are you

00:47:31.710 --> 00:47:33.329
catching what I'm really trying to say to you?

00:47:33.610 --> 00:47:36.150
You're going to enter your miracle through rest,

00:47:36.309 --> 00:47:40.409
not through faith. I mean, through struggle,

00:47:40.630 --> 00:47:43.050
not through struggle. When that faith of God

00:47:43.050 --> 00:47:48.329
arises within you. It's a wonderful, freeing,

00:47:48.329 --> 00:47:52.869
refreshing moment. Now, I know you're thinking,

00:47:52.929 --> 00:47:55.469
well, but the Bible says to fight the good fight

00:47:55.469 --> 00:47:59.269
of faith. I understand that. There's more than

00:47:59.269 --> 00:48:03.329
one aspect of faith. But even on that, you understand

00:48:03.329 --> 00:48:05.289
he, and you all know he called it a good fight,

00:48:05.429 --> 00:48:08.989
didn't he? He's fighting the good fight. So you

00:48:08.989 --> 00:48:10.889
say, well, I've heard people say, so what's the

00:48:10.889 --> 00:48:12.929
good fight? And someone says, it's the one we

00:48:12.929 --> 00:48:15.769
win. Well, that's nice, but. No, that's really

00:48:15.769 --> 00:48:18.110
not it. Let me tell you what a good fight is.

00:48:18.190 --> 00:48:24.869
A good fight is a fixed fight. Did you all hear

00:48:24.869 --> 00:48:27.210
that? It's a fixed fight. That's a good fight

00:48:27.210 --> 00:48:29.530
right there. That's the fight that when you step

00:48:29.530 --> 00:48:31.349
in, before you step in the ring, you already

00:48:31.349 --> 00:48:34.530
know what the outcome is. Did you hear what I

00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:37.789
just said? Oh, yeah. There's going to be some

00:48:37.789 --> 00:48:40.489
punches thrown. I get it. And there's going to

00:48:40.489 --> 00:48:42.250
be some hitting going on. But you already know

00:48:42.250 --> 00:48:47.699
who's going down. And come on. And who's got

00:48:47.699 --> 00:48:50.159
the victory? And that is your fight right there.

00:48:51.099 --> 00:48:55.099
There may be some punches thrown. And there may

00:48:55.099 --> 00:48:57.619
be some rounds that you go through. But before

00:48:57.619 --> 00:49:03.300
you get in the ring, you already know. Come on.

00:49:03.340 --> 00:49:06.480
This is a good one. Before you even start, do

00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:07.980
you think this is going to turn out? Oh, yeah.

00:49:08.980 --> 00:49:12.539
Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be cruel

00:49:12.539 --> 00:49:15.539
here or anything. Whatever the word would be.

00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.139
But I never really, I don't jump real high when

00:49:19.139 --> 00:49:21.159
I hear people say stuff like, you know, I read

00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:23.780
the end of the book and we win. I'm thinking

00:49:23.780 --> 00:49:31.300
I read the front of the book and we won. Hello?

00:49:32.260 --> 00:49:35.639
When Adam sinned, God came and he didn't say,

00:49:35.739 --> 00:49:38.320
read the end of the book, it'll work out. He

00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:40.840
said, Adam, come here. This thing's really bad

00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:42.199
right now, but let me explain how it's going

00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:49.030
to work out. Am I right? Come on, am I right?

00:49:49.349 --> 00:49:55.110
He told us up front from the very beginning.

00:49:56.650 --> 00:50:03.789
Wow. Your answer's already there. Your battle's

00:50:03.789 --> 00:50:08.110
already won. You've already been healed by his

00:50:08.110 --> 00:50:10.820
stripes. That's why so many people get healed

00:50:10.820 --> 00:50:13.239
just when I'm preaching the word. And I know

00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:16.460
there's a place of laying on of hands and taking

00:50:16.460 --> 00:50:18.079
authority of the enemy, but I'm going to tell

00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:19.599
you, a lot of people just when they finally hear

00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:21.500
it, they go, oh, that's what it's all about.

00:50:21.539 --> 00:50:25.239
Boom, and they're healed. In fact, you'll notice

00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:28.820
last night when there were so many people that

00:50:28.820 --> 00:50:32.380
testified here, did you notice that there wasn't

00:50:32.380 --> 00:50:40.090
one moment or testimony of a struggle? Am I right?

00:50:41.030 --> 00:50:43.269
There's nobody that had to push their way through.

00:50:43.369 --> 00:50:48.530
It just, whoa. It just came. You can fight if

00:50:48.530 --> 00:50:53.130
you want. And some believers, you know, they

00:50:53.130 --> 00:51:01.650
pray for a fight. There was a guy that was speaking

00:51:01.650 --> 00:51:04.760
at my home church. received the full gospel of

00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:06.440
the Lord Jesus Christ. Part of that point, he

00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:08.519
was saved, but he was part of one of those denominations

00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:10.539
that don't believe in the fullness of the Spirit

00:51:10.539 --> 00:51:15.920
and resisted such things as that. And so when

00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:18.380
our pastor was telling us who he was, they told

00:51:18.380 --> 00:51:21.760
us of that particular Christian background that

00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:25.420
he was from, and they said, and then also, he

00:51:25.420 --> 00:51:29.420
used to be a prize fighter. And I looked at the

00:51:29.420 --> 00:51:30.800
person sitting next to me, and I said, that was

00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.150
a very redundant statement. because most of the

00:51:34.150 --> 00:51:35.570
people that don't believe these things, all they

00:51:35.570 --> 00:51:38.909
do is carry hats to drop so they can fight. They're

00:51:38.909 --> 00:51:41.010
always looking for a fight about this stuff,

00:51:41.110 --> 00:51:43.409
but those of us that have entered into his rest,

00:51:43.670 --> 00:51:48.369
we don't have to battle with it at all. Jan said

00:51:48.369 --> 00:51:49.829
it this way the other night, I didn't come here

00:51:49.829 --> 00:51:53.750
to defend God. He doesn't need a defense. While

00:51:53.750 --> 00:51:56.269
you're all bristled up, just enter into his rest,

00:51:56.409 --> 00:51:59.730
and you'll move right into your miracle. You'll

00:51:59.730 --> 00:52:02.130
move right into your miracle. Praise God. All

00:52:02.130 --> 00:52:06.889
right, let me conclude with this. I didn't say

00:52:06.889 --> 00:52:09.590
it was through preaching. I said I would conclude

00:52:09.590 --> 00:52:12.650
with this. God only knows how long this will

00:52:12.650 --> 00:52:19.010
take. But I will conclude with this thought.

00:52:19.469 --> 00:52:24.389
I'm giving you hope anyhow. If you want to enter

00:52:24.389 --> 00:52:27.510
into a miracle now, then you need to own it,

00:52:27.530 --> 00:52:32.059
not simply believe it's possible. You got to

00:52:32.059 --> 00:52:37.139
own it. In other words, the gospel has to be

00:52:37.139 --> 00:52:41.440
personalized to be activated in you. He cannot

00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:47.119
just be the Lord. He needs to be your Lord. It

00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:48.940
needs to get beyond this, that he's the savior

00:52:48.940 --> 00:52:51.659
of the world. You need to come to the point that

00:52:51.659 --> 00:52:54.800
you can say, he's my savior. Do you understand

00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:57.920
what I mean by owning it now? Personalizing it.

00:52:58.219 --> 00:53:02.710
This is my moment. This is the gift he has given

00:53:02.710 --> 00:53:07.150
me. This is what he's brought me unto. You know,

00:53:07.190 --> 00:53:13.289
when the Lord opened this gift to me, and you

00:53:13.289 --> 00:53:14.969
must understand, I give you a tiny bit of my

00:53:14.969 --> 00:53:17.289
history. I got born again when I was seven, and

00:53:17.289 --> 00:53:19.889
the call of God I recognized when I was eight

00:53:19.889 --> 00:53:21.650
to ministry. All I knew was ministry. He didn't

00:53:21.650 --> 00:53:24.429
give me any specifics. I was baptized in the

00:53:24.429 --> 00:53:26.489
Holy Ghost. When I was 12, I was sitting in a

00:53:26.489 --> 00:53:28.349
camp meeting, just listening to a guy preach

00:53:28.349 --> 00:53:30.210
at an afternoon service, and the voice of the

00:53:30.210 --> 00:53:31.630
Lord came to me and said, Dale, I want you to

00:53:31.630 --> 00:53:33.530
be an evangelist to North America. That's how

00:53:33.530 --> 00:53:35.550
I first heard it. That was the first phase of

00:53:35.550 --> 00:53:37.170
this ministry. I wasn't praying, God, what is

00:53:37.170 --> 00:53:38.289
your will? What do you want me to do? I'm just

00:53:38.289 --> 00:53:40.130
listening to a guy preach. I don't actually even

00:53:40.130 --> 00:53:41.969
remember what he was preaching about, and it

00:53:41.969 --> 00:53:43.510
had nothing in reference to that. Just all of

00:53:43.510 --> 00:53:45.170
a sudden, bang, just like that, the voice of

00:53:45.170 --> 00:53:46.570
the Lord came. You don't have to make it happen.

00:53:48.630 --> 00:53:50.230
He just came to me and said, this is what I want

00:53:50.230 --> 00:53:54.519
you to do. And then after that, he started defining

00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:56.179
it more when he talked to me about healing the

00:53:56.179 --> 00:53:58.539
sick and casting out devils. But I couldn't see

00:53:58.539 --> 00:54:00.219
myself doing that, so I didn't think I was hearing

00:54:00.219 --> 00:54:03.800
God. I blew it off. I know I heard the Lord when

00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:05.860
I was praying. When I walked out the door, I

00:54:05.860 --> 00:54:08.940
talked myself out of it. Is anybody in the room

00:54:08.940 --> 00:54:11.199
understanding what I just said there? Have you

00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:15.380
ever done that? Don't answer. And that went on

00:54:15.380 --> 00:54:18.769
for almost three years. And finally, I was again

00:54:18.769 --> 00:54:20.929
in another camp meeting type experience on my

00:54:20.929 --> 00:54:22.949
back under the power of God for two hours, and

00:54:22.949 --> 00:54:24.590
he showed me the length and the breadth of this

00:54:24.590 --> 00:54:26.710
ministry. Those crowds you saw on the screen

00:54:26.710 --> 00:54:28.690
yesterday in Africa, I saw those crowds when

00:54:28.690 --> 00:54:30.570
I was right at the end of my 14th year, about

00:54:30.570 --> 00:54:33.730
to hit 15, and he showed me the work and the

00:54:33.730 --> 00:54:36.889
walk of this ministry. And then when that took

00:54:36.889 --> 00:54:38.690
place, I remember I got up from that point of

00:54:38.690 --> 00:54:40.670
prayer, and I said to the Lord this. I said that

00:54:40.670 --> 00:54:44.019
this is it. there's not going to be the struggle

00:54:44.019 --> 00:54:46.280
anymore that maybe this is not really God and

00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:48.340
I'm just got some. I told myself over and over

00:54:48.340 --> 00:54:50.099
again, my problem was that I was reading too

00:54:50.099 --> 00:54:52.139
many Smith Wigglesworth books. I needed to get

00:54:52.139 --> 00:54:53.980
serious and find out what I was supposed to do.

00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:56.780
But now that day I said, I get it, Lord. This

00:54:56.780 --> 00:54:58.840
is what you've called me to do. But then I said

00:54:58.840 --> 00:55:02.039
to him, but I just want you to know. I did. I

00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:04.219
said it just like that. I said, I just want you

00:55:04.219 --> 00:55:05.900
to know you really got your work cut out for

00:55:05.900 --> 00:55:08.400
you. You see, because I looked at me and I looked

00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:09.760
at that, which I saw in the vision. I looked

00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:10.940
at me and I looked at that. I looked at me and

00:55:10.940 --> 00:55:15.099
I looked at that. I said, that's not me. I didn't

00:55:15.099 --> 00:55:18.199
understand who he was and what he was like. I

00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:20.099
didn't understand that he was one, that when

00:55:20.099 --> 00:55:25.699
he shows us who we are, he doesn't show us from

00:55:25.699 --> 00:55:28.920
our point of view. He shows us from his point

00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:36.659
of view. And he sees things from the end to the

00:55:36.659 --> 00:55:40.539
beginning. Did you hear that? That's changing

00:55:40.539 --> 00:55:46.340
someone right now. He saw the completion. I wasn't

00:55:46.340 --> 00:55:49.900
even sure the first step. And he didn't talk

00:55:49.900 --> 00:55:52.800
to me from my point of view. He talked to me

00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:57.360
from his point of view. And he saw it done. And

00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:01.099
he said, this is it. And I said, that's not me.

00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:03.699
And if that's going to be me, you got a big job.

00:56:05.579 --> 00:56:09.219
And then I was sitting under the guy that would

00:56:09.219 --> 00:56:12.260
be my mentor. And he started a crusade in Buffalo,

00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:19.110
New York on December 1. Do you understand the

00:56:19.110 --> 00:56:23.170
weather patterns in Buffalo? Lake effect snow

00:56:23.170 --> 00:56:25.889
that can drop down three and four feet in hours?

00:56:26.110 --> 00:56:30.570
In hours? You don't start a revival in Buffalo,

00:56:30.670 --> 00:56:34.409
New York on December 1 unless you've really heard

00:56:34.409 --> 00:56:36.469
from God or unless you've been smoking something

00:56:36.469 --> 00:56:40.510
that you shouldn't be smoking. And that meeting

00:56:40.510 --> 00:56:44.849
went 17 weeks. It concluded two weeks before

00:56:44.849 --> 00:56:48.690
Easter of the next year. During that time, I

00:56:48.690 --> 00:56:53.010
got my Bible education. I was shaped in that

00:56:53.010 --> 00:56:56.349
time. There's some things that are caught in

00:56:56.349 --> 00:56:59.909
partation that takes place. And I remember that

00:56:59.909 --> 00:57:02.849
he was doing a 10 -night series on who we are

00:57:02.849 --> 00:57:06.130
in Christ. Somewhere in that series, I was sitting

00:57:06.130 --> 00:57:08.429
in the second row. It hit me like a ton of bricks.

00:57:09.889 --> 00:57:12.130
I mean, I remember. I don't remember the actual

00:57:12.130 --> 00:57:14.449
message. I remember the theme that he was preaching

00:57:14.449 --> 00:57:17.000
on, and I remember the moment. Because it hit

00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:20.019
me just like this. And I thought, oh God, oh

00:57:20.019 --> 00:57:23.239
God, you know that great big thing that I told

00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:26.039
you you were going to have to do? You've already

00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:30.360
done it. And I did not appraise it correctly.

00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:35.960
I had no idea of the depth of his workmanship

00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:42.739
in us through new birth in Christ Jesus. I was

00:57:42.739 --> 00:57:46.519
always thinking that someday... Remember someday?

00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:49.780
When is that? Is that the second or third day?

00:57:49.820 --> 00:57:52.460
No, fourth. One day of the week is that someday

00:57:52.460 --> 00:57:58.119
it would come. The moment I saw it, the gifts

00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:01.340
of God showed. The healing miracles began to

00:58:01.340 --> 00:58:02.820
happen right there. They didn't wait until I

00:58:02.820 --> 00:58:05.000
started preaching. Healing ministry did not begin

00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:06.760
with me from the pulpit. It began with me from

00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:09.880
the streets. It was because of the miracles that

00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:11.519
were happening in the streets that people invited

00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:15.110
me to the pulpit. It's true. It's true. Someone

00:58:15.110 --> 00:58:16.510
said, well, did you start holding revivals and

00:58:16.510 --> 00:58:18.530
God started healing the sick? No. I just started

00:58:18.530 --> 00:58:21.789
ministering healing in the hospitals. I was 15

00:58:21.789 --> 00:58:24.710
years old. I did a weekly move into the hospital.

00:58:25.570 --> 00:58:28.650
At 15. I went to the hospital every week and

00:58:28.650 --> 00:58:30.150
ministered healing to the sick. People say, well,

00:58:30.170 --> 00:58:31.530
if you've got a healing ministry, why don't you

00:58:31.530 --> 00:58:32.909
go to the hospitals? That's how I got going.

00:58:33.730 --> 00:58:35.489
That's what I did. And we saw people get out

00:58:35.489 --> 00:58:37.849
of those beds and completely well. I was raised

00:58:37.849 --> 00:58:39.250
in Niagara Falls, New York, so I'd go to the

00:58:39.250 --> 00:58:41.030
waterfalls because people came from all over

00:58:41.030 --> 00:58:43.400
the world there. There were 20 ,000 Asians that

00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.260
would come in and see the falls just in July

00:58:45.260 --> 00:58:47.960
and August. You know, I was smarter then. Now

00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:50.039
I spend thousands of dollars to go overseas to

00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.119
them. Then they just came to me. I don't know

00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:54.179
why I didn't sit still in Niagara Falls. But

00:58:54.179 --> 00:58:56.960
anyhow, and it would minister the word with signs

00:58:56.960 --> 00:58:59.849
following. That's how I would approach it. Did

00:58:59.849 --> 00:59:02.530
it then? Do it now. The same way. Finally, people

00:59:02.530 --> 00:59:04.389
saw enough of that, and so a couple of pastors

00:59:04.389 --> 00:59:05.670
saw it, and they said, wow, if you can do that

00:59:05.670 --> 00:59:08.090
on the streets, could you come and do it at our

00:59:08.090 --> 00:59:09.949
church? And I thought, I don't know. I don't

00:59:09.949 --> 00:59:11.630
know if it'll work in a church, but we can give

00:59:11.630 --> 00:59:19.929
it a try. But I remember when that gift was locked

00:59:19.929 --> 00:59:23.269
in for me, and it wasn't in that revival crusade.

00:59:23.349 --> 00:59:25.210
In the revival crusade, I worked with him, and

00:59:25.210 --> 00:59:26.769
he had me lay hands on the sick, and we had miracles.

00:59:26.849 --> 00:59:31.690
We witnessed them. But I remember when the steel

00:59:31.690 --> 00:59:35.889
backbone came, and it was in the hospital, in

00:59:35.889 --> 00:59:41.050
a Catholic hospital in Niagara Falls. When I

00:59:41.050 --> 00:59:43.309
walked in to minister to a man from my home church,

00:59:43.510 --> 00:59:48.389
and God would instantly heal him. And there was

00:59:48.389 --> 00:59:53.429
another man in the next bed that saw it happen,

00:59:53.590 --> 00:59:58.269
who did not know Christ. And when he saw this

00:59:58.269 --> 01:00:01.639
man get, instantly healed. He sat right up in

01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:04.400
his bed. He had an ongoing problem. He'd been

01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:05.860
in a hospital for quite a while and they were

01:00:05.860 --> 01:00:09.960
not able to correct it. He had a constant bleeding

01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:13.739
that was not being stopped. He sat right up in

01:00:13.739 --> 01:00:17.739
his bed and he said, can you do that for me?

01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:21.579
And I remember, I don't even know why I did it.

01:00:21.619 --> 01:00:23.239
I prayed with the man from my church here. This

01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:24.860
man's in the hospital bed there. And I don't

01:00:24.860 --> 01:00:26.239
know why I didn't say, sure, I'll just pray with

01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:28.869
you. Instead, I... turned completely around the

01:00:28.869 --> 01:00:30.329
other way. I have no idea what I did that, and

01:00:30.329 --> 01:00:34.789
when I did, the bed was empty. He was gone. I

01:00:34.789 --> 01:00:35.869
thought, well, where in the world did you go?

01:00:37.190 --> 01:00:38.670
And he was right over in the chair next to the

01:00:38.670 --> 01:00:42.449
other guy. He said, I'm ready now. And I looked

01:00:42.449 --> 01:00:46.570
at him, and I said to him, I said, sir, you did

01:00:46.570 --> 01:00:48.010
not know Christ. I said, let me tell you, Jesus

01:00:48.010 --> 01:00:50.889
is a mighty healer, and he's given me an anointing

01:00:50.889 --> 01:00:53.389
and a grace that when I lay my hands upon you,

01:00:53.469 --> 01:00:56.659
you will be instantly healed. And when I said

01:00:56.659 --> 01:00:59.659
that, something big in me just like this that

01:00:59.659 --> 01:01:04.219
never left. It was when I finally stood up and

01:01:04.219 --> 01:01:10.159
owned it. Did you hear that? I value the covering

01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:13.519
of my mentor and the assistance he gave me, but

01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:17.059
it's when I stepped out when there was no organ

01:01:17.059 --> 01:01:22.219
playing, no believers saying amen. And no one's

01:01:22.219 --> 01:01:24.500
standing alongside. And I said, this is the way

01:01:24.500 --> 01:01:28.219
it is. And when I said it, I remember. But when

01:01:28.219 --> 01:01:30.019
I say steal, that's what it felt like. Something

01:01:30.019 --> 01:01:32.579
literally went, just straightened me right out.

01:01:33.059 --> 01:01:37.219
Right up my backbone, just like that. And it's

01:01:37.219 --> 01:01:40.820
still there. You want to enter into a miracle?

01:01:41.800 --> 01:01:43.920
You need to quit procrastinating your faith.

01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:48.539
And you need to own that baby. When that word

01:01:48.539 --> 01:01:50.239
of the Lord and that touch of God comes, don't

01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:51.860
you sit on that baby. We talked about it last

01:01:51.860 --> 01:01:53.159
night. Don't you say, well, we'll give it a week

01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:56.920
and see how it really is. You will walk right

01:01:56.920 --> 01:02:01.000
out of the moment of your miracle. But if you

01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:05.739
will own it, this is not a mental thing. It's

01:02:05.739 --> 01:02:07.159
not, all right, let me figure out how I do it.

01:02:07.179 --> 01:02:09.619
That's not how it works. It's a matter of sensing

01:02:09.619 --> 01:02:12.679
the presence of the Almighty, catching the word

01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:15.619
of the Lord, and then stepping into it and saying,

01:02:15.679 --> 01:02:19.519
that's it, that's mine. Are you on page with

01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:21.940
me right now? That's what it is. And you need

01:02:21.940 --> 01:02:24.380
to pick up, and you need to get past the idea

01:02:24.380 --> 01:02:28.900
that God has to plow you down. You know, I see

01:02:28.900 --> 01:02:30.960
people, like Brother Jan has a great anointing

01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:32.619
where people fall under the power. They do that

01:02:32.619 --> 01:02:34.059
sometimes when I pray with them. They do it a

01:02:34.059 --> 01:02:35.780
lot when he prays with them. I believe in that.

01:02:35.860 --> 01:02:38.159
I've received God's blessing many times in my

01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:39.920
life like that. But I meet people all the time

01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:41.739
that say, it's not that I'm unwilling to fall

01:02:41.739 --> 01:02:46.150
down, but I don't do courtesy drops. And so when

01:02:46.150 --> 01:02:47.610
someone comes down that line, they say, no, we're

01:02:47.610 --> 01:02:49.469
ready for God to touch us and God to move. But

01:02:49.469 --> 01:02:55.070
all right, I'm ready. Come on. Come on. Hit me

01:02:55.070 --> 01:02:57.630
right there. Hit me right there. And if it's

01:02:57.630 --> 01:03:00.070
God to bully me over, I'll be okay with it. And

01:03:00.070 --> 01:03:03.090
they think, you know, that they're doing the

01:03:03.090 --> 01:03:05.090
right thing. They're not going to be anybody's

01:03:05.090 --> 01:03:08.510
fool. And I look at that and say to myself, I

01:03:08.510 --> 01:03:11.610
don't want to have to have God come and hit me

01:03:11.610 --> 01:03:17.929
with a two -by -four. I would like to be able

01:03:17.929 --> 01:03:26.269
to respond to his lightest touch. I welcome the

01:03:26.269 --> 01:03:32.730
voice that shouts out. But would you make me

01:03:32.730 --> 01:03:34.829
so sensitive that I could hear your slightest

01:03:34.829 --> 01:03:45.230
whisper? That all he has to do is brush me. can

01:03:45.230 --> 01:03:52.090
feel that. I recognize you. Would you own it?

01:03:54.469 --> 01:03:57.949
Just enter into it and say, that's the way it

01:03:57.949 --> 01:04:04.550
is. Draw near to him. You may have to get me

01:04:04.550 --> 01:04:10.369
in the lobby, stop, really take some minutes

01:04:10.369 --> 01:04:13.650
with me to get thought across, but my wife doesn't.

01:04:14.869 --> 01:04:16.769
I can walk in the room and know whether it's

01:04:16.769 --> 01:04:22.429
good or bad. Oh, don't look at me like that.

01:04:24.269 --> 01:04:28.090
Huh? Sometimes just the slightest touch, you

01:04:28.090 --> 01:04:32.010
know. Am I right? Why don't you get to know him

01:04:32.010 --> 01:04:35.309
like that? Get to know him that you can just

01:04:35.309 --> 01:04:37.769
walk right into his presence and know, oh, this

01:04:37.769 --> 01:04:40.630
is good. I don't know what all this other nonsense

01:04:40.630 --> 01:04:44.500
was. This is right. This is right. Why would

01:04:44.500 --> 01:04:48.400
I live like that when the moment I come before

01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:51.500
him, and sometimes he doesn't even need to say

01:04:51.500 --> 01:04:56.099
a word, the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

01:04:56.360 --> 01:05:00.659
and his ears are open to their prayers. Sometimes

01:05:00.659 --> 01:05:03.400
I walk in, and I can just feel him looking at

01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:08.059
me. Would you stand with me all over the room?

01:05:09.139 --> 01:05:15.710
Jesus is here. Oh my God, Jesus is here. Wow.

01:05:18.329 --> 01:05:23.349
Own it. You all know it. Let the redeemed of

01:05:23.349 --> 01:05:29.449
the Lord. Not think about it. Not pray about

01:05:29.449 --> 01:05:34.610
it. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. This

01:05:34.610 --> 01:05:41.639
is the way it is. The promise, the reality. The

01:05:41.639 --> 01:05:46.199
greatness of his name. Do you know that his name

01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:52.599
is healing? You know names, the names of God

01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:54.159
in scripture, we mentioned it the other night,

01:05:54.260 --> 01:05:58.780
they're not titles, they're revelations of an

01:05:58.780 --> 01:06:02.579
aspect of God. That's why you find so many names,

01:06:02.780 --> 01:06:07.019
because he's too big to figure out at one point.

01:06:08.780 --> 01:06:10.760
It's literally going to take you all of eternity.

01:06:11.659 --> 01:06:16.739
And then. Yeah. But he would come and speak a

01:06:16.739 --> 01:06:19.980
name. And when he spoke that name, it wasn't

01:06:19.980 --> 01:06:25.760
informational. It was transforming. And when

01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:31.920
he told Israel that his name was healing, Jehovah

01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:34.860
Rapha, the Lord who heals. Then I understood

01:06:34.860 --> 01:06:37.679
two things. Number one, it's not that he could

01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:42.130
heal. He is healing. Do you understand that?

01:06:42.550 --> 01:06:45.090
He can heal me. When you get in his presence,

01:06:45.170 --> 01:06:46.670
you just stepped into the presence of healing.

01:06:48.949 --> 01:06:54.969
He doesn't know how not to heal. He never behaves

01:06:54.969 --> 01:06:58.750
differently to his character. He is healing.

01:06:59.789 --> 01:07:03.650
I said it like this just a few weeks ago when

01:07:03.650 --> 01:07:06.510
I was in Dar es Salaam. I was up around the beginning

01:07:06.510 --> 01:07:10.969
of July. And I said to the crowd of those Africans,

01:07:11.130 --> 01:07:15.250
I said, you must understand, I'm a Mzungu, which

01:07:15.250 --> 01:07:19.750
means white guy. I said, I don't have to pray

01:07:19.750 --> 01:07:25.590
to become a Mzungu. I just am. I don't get up

01:07:25.590 --> 01:07:26.769
in the morning and say, I'm just going to believe

01:07:26.769 --> 01:07:28.750
God to be a Mzungu. I said, I can't help myself.

01:07:28.889 --> 01:07:30.489
I'm a white guy. I'm stuck with it. That's what

01:07:30.489 --> 01:07:33.179
I am. And I said, I'm not just a mizungu to nice

01:07:33.179 --> 01:07:35.420
people. I'm a mizungu to bad people. I'm a mizungu

01:07:35.420 --> 01:07:38.360
to religious people. I'm a mizungu to people

01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:40.500
that have no faith at all. I just am what I am.

01:07:42.340 --> 01:07:44.000
I said, you need to understand something about

01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:47.159
him. He is a savior. He's not a savior of good

01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:51.619
people. He's a savior. He's a savior of good

01:07:51.619 --> 01:07:54.980
people and bad people. You understand this? He's

01:07:54.980 --> 01:07:56.500
a savior to those that are holy and those that

01:07:56.500 --> 01:07:59.119
are perverts. You didn't like that, but it's

01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:01.429
the truth. He can't help himself. He's just a

01:08:01.429 --> 01:08:02.849
savior. When he walks in the room, he's a savior.

01:08:04.670 --> 01:08:06.469
And then the writer of New Testament said this,

01:08:06.590 --> 01:08:08.690
if you believe not, yet he remains faithful,

01:08:08.869 --> 01:08:13.590
he cannot deny himself. Think of that. Think

01:08:13.590 --> 01:08:18.090
of that. He's a healer. He's not a healer if

01:08:18.090 --> 01:08:24.069
you believe. He's a healer. I know I've seen

01:08:24.069 --> 01:08:27.029
it. I'm sure you've seen it. I've seen God heal

01:08:27.029 --> 01:08:31.279
people that were shocked. When they got healed.

01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:36.979
We had a lady come from one of those churches

01:08:36.979 --> 01:08:41.619
to a crusade of ours in Dallas. You know, it

01:08:41.619 --> 01:08:42.640
was one of those churches that they're the only

01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.659
ones that saved. They knew we were all going

01:08:45.659 --> 01:08:48.739
to hell. But her son had talked her into coming

01:08:48.739 --> 01:08:50.500
because he'd seen so many miracles. And she came.

01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:52.399
She was completely deaf in one ear. And the reason

01:08:52.399 --> 01:08:54.159
why she was an adult woman, the reason why she

01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:55.880
was completely deaf is because they had to do

01:08:55.880 --> 01:08:57.579
surgery to take a tumor out. And in order to

01:08:57.579 --> 01:08:59.439
get to it, they had to go through her ear canal.

01:09:00.170 --> 01:09:02.270
a mastoid operation, so they removed the anvil,

01:09:02.289 --> 01:09:04.010
disturbed the cochlea, the eardrum. She had nothing

01:09:04.010 --> 01:09:06.750
but a hole there. And she's sitting over to the

01:09:06.750 --> 01:09:09.489
side, halfway through my message, her ear popped

01:09:09.489 --> 01:09:10.710
just like that, and she could hear perfectly.

01:09:12.489 --> 01:09:17.829
And she came to the altar half -mad. Truly. She

01:09:17.829 --> 01:09:19.869
said to the pastor with tears, she says, I don't

01:09:19.869 --> 01:09:22.390
understand what's going on. She says, I was eight

01:09:22.390 --> 01:09:23.609
years old when they took that out. I've been

01:09:23.609 --> 01:09:25.710
deaf all my life, and I could not hear, and now

01:09:25.710 --> 01:09:28.890
I can hear perfectly. And that guy's not even

01:09:28.890 --> 01:09:35.619
saved. How can this happen? And his wife is wearing

01:09:35.619 --> 01:09:42.520
pants. You know that's wrong. I got to tell you,

01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:46.359
he is who he is. Do you know where you are right

01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:50.300
now? You're in the place where nothing is impossible.

01:09:52.039 --> 01:09:56.479
Where the glory of the Lord is. Where the healer

01:09:56.479 --> 01:10:00.939
is present. Every one of you that have wanted

01:10:00.939 --> 01:10:02.399
a miracle of the Lord, would you look up at him

01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:04.199
and tell him, I'm taking mine right now, Lord.

01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:07.460
Come on. Worship him for it right now. Give him

01:10:07.460 --> 01:10:10.060
praise for it. Enter in. Enter in with me right

01:10:10.060 --> 01:10:19.550
now. If you are interested in hearing other podcasts
