Now, 00:00:20.129 --> 00:00:24.929 enjoy this week's message. Let's lift our hands 00:00:24.929 --> 00:00:27.730 for just a moment. Let's lift our hands for just 00:00:27.730 --> 00:00:30.510 a moment. Father, we thank you. With uplifted 00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:33.549 hands we give you praise. This whole service 00:00:33.549 --> 00:00:38.030 already has been only about you. And so Father 00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:41.509 from this very moment. Everything will magnify 00:00:41.509 --> 00:00:46.689 your son Jesus. Now there's a presence in this 00:00:46.689 --> 00:00:50.250 room already. And Lord you're moving among your 00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:53.950 people. This isn't just a time to hear. It's 00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:57.570 a time to feel. It's a time to experience. It's 00:00:57.570 --> 00:01:03.420 a time to know. There's a confidence that's coming 00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:05.659 into the hearts of the people right now. There's 00:01:05.659 --> 00:01:10.239 a consciousness of God that is becoming supreme 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.819 and higher than the consciousness of sin. We 00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:18.659 thank you, Lord. There's things changing. This 00:01:18.659 --> 00:01:22.420 ministry, you might as well say is a ministry 00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:28.439 of godly change. Father, things are just happening 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.540 here. Now we invite the angels, we invite the 00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:34.280 presence, and we thank you, Lord, that we are 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.739 winners through and through. In Jesus' name. 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.840 Amen. You may be seated. Well, praise the Lord. 00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:43.519 Tony and I, we coordinated our outfits, so that's 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.379 why we're working together this morning. Amen. 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.040 Praise the Lord. So I have the privilege of just 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.859 maybe kind of tying some things together from 00:01:55.859 --> 00:02:00.790 the last couple of days. And so that Tony and 00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:03.989 I can minister to you and get rid of all kinds 00:02:03.989 --> 00:02:12.370 of stuff, you know? Amen. Jesus, when he came, 00:02:12.610 --> 00:02:18.729 he was the last Adam. Many want to tell him he's 00:02:18.729 --> 00:02:20.530 the second Adam, but God wasn't real pleased 00:02:20.530 --> 00:02:23.889 with the Adam's family. Amen. You know what I'm 00:02:23.889 --> 00:02:27.000 talking about. And so it got real weird. There 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.819 were its and things and God had to get rid of 00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:32.759 that. So Jesus came as the last of the Adams 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.240 to take the Adams family into the grave and bring 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.240 a brand new family, which would be called new 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.659 creatures in Christ, which would be called sons 00:02:42.659 --> 00:02:50.080 and daughters of God, born of God. So our DNA 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:56.349 is of God. Adam was a perfect being. But God 00:02:56.349 --> 00:02:59.789 didn't live in Adam. So God said, I have a chance 00:02:59.789 --> 00:03:02.189 to redo this. I'm gonna make this even better. 00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:04.349 I'm gonna make them faster. I'm gonna, kind of 00:03:04.349 --> 00:03:06.449 sounds like the $6 million man if you were in 00:03:06.449 --> 00:03:13.069 my generation, okay? And God did. God made us 00:03:13.069 --> 00:03:17.530 a divine nature being. So he literally ripped 00:03:17.530 --> 00:03:21.270 out the nature of sin and in its place, he brought 00:03:21.270 --> 00:03:26.479 Zoe, the very life, and substance of God and 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.020 lined us as a spiritual being in the very essence 00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:35.419 of himself. In so much that he could step inside 00:03:35.419 --> 00:03:43.099 of us and live through us. He made us so perfect 00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:48.139 and so holy that the Holy Spirit could live within 00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:51.139 us. It's not the dirty spirit. It's not Casper 00:03:51.139 --> 00:03:55.860 the friend of the ghost. The Holy Ghost. And 00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:58.240 the Holy Ghost living in you means you're holy. 00:03:59.219 --> 00:04:00.860 Well, brother, I'm really trying to be holy. 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:07.580 Stop trying. Become what you are. That's a mind 00:04:07.580 --> 00:04:15.099 shift. Jesus showed us as a prototype what it 00:04:15.099 --> 00:04:20.439 looks like for God to live in flesh. But he did 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:26.040 it as a man. So Jesus had the task before he 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.500 died of fixing everything that Adam messed up. 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.579 So he had to go at the heart of all the dominion 00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:39.680 that Adam turned over to the devil. Jesus took 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.180 that dominion and worked it in the earth. First 00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:45.519 thing he did was turn water into wine. Wow, that's 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.360 awesome. I mean, changed the composition of water 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.800 until it turned into wine. And it was the best 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.670 wine. Amen. That's awesome. Praise the Lord. 00:04:55.189 --> 00:04:57.970 So you think about what he did next. The next 00:04:57.970 --> 00:05:01.709 thing he did concerning water is, well, he told 00:05:01.709 --> 00:05:06.370 it to stop being a storm. And then the water 00:05:06.370 --> 00:05:09.750 just calmed. Well, that's an elevation above 00:05:09.750 --> 00:05:12.670 turning it into water and wine. But then he went 00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:16.819 for one step above that. He walked on it. Turn 00:05:16.819 --> 00:05:19.620 the composition from water to wine. Then you've 00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:22.540 stilled the storm and now you walk on it. I think 00:05:22.540 --> 00:05:27.360 you own it. Right? Right? I think you own it. 00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:30.959 What are we saying? He developed a consciousness 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.360 of complete success and victory. Then you think 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.199 even with the animals, because really the first 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.660 thing that really, really happened before even 00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:40.800 he turned the water into wine was he was out 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.920 in the wilderness. And one of the translations, 00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:45.899 I believe it's Mark, that says there were wild 00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:50.120 beasts out there. Why would it mention that? 00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:53.319 Well, just to help you to realize it wasn't pussycats 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:58.439 and puppy dogs. So these were wild animals, but 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.980 they never touched him. In other words, he was 00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:03.100 lunch, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they 00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:05.459 never touched him because he has dominion over 00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:07.100 the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the 00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:09.579 beasts of the field. And he began to develop 00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:11.740 that in so much that they wouldn't touch him. 00:06:11.819 --> 00:06:16.160 And then he went ahead and paid taxes with a 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.259 fish getting coins in its mouth. I mean, that 00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:25.360 little fish was on its way to school. And all 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.399 of a sudden it got a call and said, teacher, 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.899 little Finn, I have an assignment. And it went 00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:32.379 down and found a shiny thing, grabbed it in its 00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:34.060 mouth, and then looked for the perfect hook. 00:06:34.180 --> 00:06:39.139 And voila. All at the word of, go fishing. When 00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:41.759 you find a fish, you will pay my tax and your 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:47.060 tax. Dominion caused that fish to grab coins. 00:06:50.019 --> 00:06:53.660 And then he went step by step by step, periodic, 00:06:53.899 --> 00:06:57.500 I mean, just systematically through. all of the 00:06:57.500 --> 00:07:02.480 areas of dominion through sickness, disease, 00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:06.160 and then on over into miracles, and then on over 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.060 into death itself. First person raised from the 00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:11.639 dead was a little girl. She'd only been dead 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.639 just a few moments. I love how Jesus went into 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.899 the room. He went in and they said, well, you 00:07:16.899 --> 00:07:19.019 know, she's dead. Oh, no, she's just sleeping. 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.139 Now, he knew when he said that that he was going 00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:25.550 to get flack. Amen? But he's not going to talk 00:07:25.550 --> 00:07:28.089 like them. He's going to talk like God. She's 00:07:28.089 --> 00:07:30.970 just sleeping. Amen? Which is really interesting. 00:07:31.149 --> 00:07:33.730 It goes to our point. Jesus never really looked 00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:36.470 at a problem as though it was a problem. He looked 00:07:36.470 --> 00:07:38.209 at everything everybody thought was a problem, 00:07:38.290 --> 00:07:40.910 and because he was an answer, he then gave it 00:07:40.910 --> 00:07:45.189 the answer. So we tell a blind man to go home. 00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:47.269 How does a blind man go home unless you heal 00:07:47.269 --> 00:07:50.750 him first? How does a man with a withered hand 00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:54.420 actually move it? But he said, Give me your hand 00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:57.259 or move your hand or open your hand. Stretch 00:07:57.259 --> 00:08:00.660 out your hand. So very interesting what he did. 00:08:02.019 --> 00:08:04.560 Second degree, raising someone from the dead 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.240 was the son of an aunt. He'd been dead a couple 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.220 of days. Jesus interrupted the funeral procession 00:08:09.220 --> 00:08:11.500 and touched the casket. The boy raised up and 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:14.019 gave him back to his mother. And then the third 00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:18.759 was Lazarus. And we know Lazarus was dead how 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.290 many? Four days. And what do we know about four 00:08:22.290 --> 00:08:24.709 days when you don't have preservatives like we 00:08:24.709 --> 00:08:31.350 do in America in your body? You stink. Amen? 00:08:32.029 --> 00:08:34.389 You know when you're eating a Twinkie that has 00:08:34.389 --> 00:08:40.330 a 25 -year shelf life. There can't be really 00:08:40.330 --> 00:08:43.129 any nutrition in that. Aren't you glad for RFK? 00:08:43.809 --> 00:08:47.370 Amen? He's finding out that they're actually 00:08:47.370 --> 00:08:49.970 poisoning us on purpose so that we can take drugs. 00:08:50.110 --> 00:08:51.970 And then they give us drugs that actually need 00:08:51.970 --> 00:08:54.750 more drugs. So instead of giving us one drug 00:08:54.750 --> 00:08:56.830 to knock out what's needed, they give us a drug 00:08:56.830 --> 00:08:58.809 that actually causes multiple problems, so I 00:08:58.809 --> 00:09:01.350 need multiple drugs to handle the problems. And 00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:03.309 it really never ends. And then you're always 00:09:03.309 --> 00:09:05.350 going to be on this. And you can never actually 00:09:05.350 --> 00:09:11.330 be healed. Sounds like the devil to me. Amen? 00:09:12.970 --> 00:09:16.870 So anyhow, you think about this. Jesus, he had 00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:19.549 said previous to this, Father, this is but for 00:09:19.549 --> 00:09:21.450 your glory. Now, you know, the denominational 00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:23.629 church took that and said, see, sickness and 00:09:23.629 --> 00:09:25.769 disease is for the glory of God. Well, you got 00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:27.590 to go a little further than that because he actually 00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:31.009 raised him up. So it's like, don't end the story 00:09:31.009 --> 00:09:33.210 with him in the grave saying this is glorious. 00:09:35.289 --> 00:09:37.409 Finish the story and then you see the glory. 00:09:39.110 --> 00:09:44.019 Amen. Amen. And so it's interesting because Jesus 00:09:44.019 --> 00:09:48.100 knew of this situation and he was only a day 00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:53.960 away. And he knew that he was sick unto death. 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.799 He could have gone. This is a really good friend. 00:09:58.899 --> 00:10:03.389 But he didn't choose to go. And then when Jesus 00:10:03.389 --> 00:10:05.409 knew he died, he said to the disciples, Lazarus 00:10:05.409 --> 00:10:06.990 sleepeth. And they said, oh, well, that's good 00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:09.029 because then he'll be raised back up. Because 00:10:09.029 --> 00:10:11.809 when you're sleeping, you'll get healthy and 00:10:11.809 --> 00:10:14.490 strong. And Jesus said, no, Lazarus is dead. 00:10:14.610 --> 00:10:20.429 And then he still didn't go. Why did he wait 00:10:20.429 --> 00:10:22.669 till the fourth day? I have to let you know, 00:10:22.750 --> 00:10:27.909 Jesus was developing on our behalf a mind and 00:10:27.909 --> 00:10:31.429 a consciousness of complete success and dominion. 00:10:32.509 --> 00:10:36.210 Because when he gives us his mind, 1 Corinthians 00:10:36.210 --> 00:10:38.809 chapter 2, we have the mind of Christ. That is 00:10:38.809 --> 00:10:41.710 the consciousness of absolute success. When you 00:10:41.710 --> 00:10:44.370 start to step into the mind of Christ, you will 00:10:44.370 --> 00:10:47.149 literally see answers before you ever see problems. 00:10:47.330 --> 00:10:50.009 You will see victories before you ever see defeat. 00:10:50.250 --> 00:10:52.549 You will on purpose put yourself in a position 00:10:52.549 --> 00:10:55.250 where you can't go back and you will defy everything. 00:10:56.250 --> 00:10:59.149 Because that's exactly how Jesus thinks. He doesn't 00:10:59.149 --> 00:11:01.309 think maybe this will happen. This might not 00:11:01.309 --> 00:11:04.149 happen. Did I do something wrong? Oh no, I don't 00:11:04.149 --> 00:11:06.529 know if the Lord likes me today. What do I have 00:11:06.529 --> 00:11:08.590 to do to curry his favor? Come on everybody. 00:11:10.470 --> 00:11:13.590 He's one with the Father and his last prayer, 00:11:13.789 --> 00:11:16.929 John 17, was that we would know that we are one 00:11:16.929 --> 00:11:19.649 in the same measure that he is one. I in you 00:11:19.649 --> 00:11:22.490 and you in me and we are in the Father. A complete 00:11:22.490 --> 00:11:29.159 union with God. And in that union, you think 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.000 like God. And that's scary. Because you'll actually 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:38.340 start saying stuff you won't normally say unless 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:43.000 you think like him. The reason why Jesus waited 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.879 four days is because if he knew he was going 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.840 to have to get himself out of the grave in three, 00:11:47.019 --> 00:11:50.500 why not experiment on getting somebody out in 00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:56.200 four? Well, that worked. Praise the Lord. I'm 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:06.740 coming out now. Tony used a verse of scripture 00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:08.940 over in Deuteronomy chapter 30, verse 19. It 00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:11.000 talks about, I said before you, life and death, 00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:14.519 blessing and cursing, choose life. Now, isn't 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.039 that amazing that he gives us the choice? But 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.600 you know what else is amazing? Just as amazing? 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:32.539 What doesn't have a choice? Blessing, life and 00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:36.179 blessing, death and cursing. They don't have 00:12:36.179 --> 00:12:40.399 choices. The only one in that verse that has 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:46.019 a choice is you. In other words, you go to the 00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:48.820 family buffet and you come back to your seat 00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:50.519 and you've got four inches of food on your plate. 00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:53.440 And someone says, whoa, I don't know how they 00:12:53.440 --> 00:13:03.509 got on there. No, you do. Don't lie about that. 00:13:03.950 --> 00:13:08.190 You put all that on there. You chose it. It didn't 00:13:08.190 --> 00:13:11.250 jump on there. I mean, you went by and ham jumped 00:13:11.250 --> 00:13:13.909 on. Whoa, ham jumped on. Wow, turkey jumped on. 00:13:13.990 --> 00:13:17.750 Wow. No, you put that ham on. You put that turkey 00:13:17.750 --> 00:13:21.730 on. So just as amazing as it is that we have 00:13:21.730 --> 00:13:26.090 a choice, death doesn't have a choice. A curse 00:13:26.090 --> 00:13:29.710 doesn't have a choice. But also, a blessing doesn't 00:13:29.710 --> 00:13:32.370 have a choice, and life doesn't have a choice. 00:13:32.710 --> 00:13:40.309 You choose them. They can't choose you. So where 00:13:40.309 --> 00:13:45.450 you is, right here, right now, I'm sorry to say, 00:13:45.610 --> 00:13:48.009 it's because of you. And if I'm pointing this, 00:13:48.110 --> 00:13:49.990 I got a lot of fingers coming back at me. It's 00:13:49.990 --> 00:13:53.409 because of me. It's where is our consciousness. 00:13:54.769 --> 00:13:58.269 Do we actually believe in this stuff? Or do we 00:13:58.269 --> 00:14:01.490 have dominion over it? I'm watching my time. 00:14:03.149 --> 00:14:06.929 I'm in Idaho at a golf tournament. My wife's 00:14:06.929 --> 00:14:10.450 family is in Idaho. And I'm playing with my brother 00:14:10.450 --> 00:14:13.750 -in -law. He invited me two years in a row. And 00:14:13.750 --> 00:14:17.169 then I haven't been invited back. But anyhow. 00:14:21.409 --> 00:14:23.629 We did pretty well, but we didn't actually win 00:14:23.629 --> 00:14:28.090 it. But we came real close. So. the first year, 00:14:28.190 --> 00:14:30.789 and then the second year. And in the second year, 00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:33.850 when I got there, immediately I saw someone that 00:14:33.850 --> 00:14:36.490 in the first year, this guy was a real handsome 00:14:36.490 --> 00:14:41.250 guy, more of a darker complexion, jet black hair. 00:14:41.690 --> 00:14:45.629 I'd say about him, he's running for mayor. In 00:14:45.629 --> 00:14:47.169 other words, he's always like, hey, everybody, 00:14:47.309 --> 00:14:48.730 how you doing? How you doing? How you doing? 00:14:48.809 --> 00:14:50.809 How you doing? I say, you know, that kind of 00:14:50.809 --> 00:14:52.870 guy running for mayor. He knows everybody, you 00:14:52.870 --> 00:14:54.960 know. And he's just all over the place, you know. 00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:57.419 And I'm just wanting to sit back and watch a 00:14:57.419 --> 00:14:59.460 guy like that. But, you know, he's just running 00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:03.340 from air. And the second year when I saw him, 00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:10.100 he was real thin. His skin was real pasty. His 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:13.899 hair was completely salt and peppered. And gaunt, 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.860 you know. I mean, he lost weight. And I thought, 00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:21.179 wow, what happened to Alan? So I asked my brother 00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:22.919 -in -law, I said, Kevin, what happened to Alan? 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.240 He said, you know, I think he's gotten sick or 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.460 something. I said, hey, do you mind if I go talk 00:15:27.460 --> 00:15:31.120 with him? Because, you know, the family is sometimes 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:43.299 nervous. My daughter was doing gymnastics and 00:15:43.299 --> 00:15:46.240 she's really, really good. And it was outside. 00:15:47.579 --> 00:15:50.740 and they were putting on a display, and there's 00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:52.000 a double mini. I don't know if you know what 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.419 a double mini is, but it's about a three -foot 00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:57.679 -by -three -foot trampoline that's on a 45 -degree 00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.940 angle attached to another three -foot -by -three 00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:02.500 -foot trampoline that's flat. So you hit the 00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:04.100 first one, and it throws you up, and she does 00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:06.360 a layout, comes down, hits it, does a double 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:09.240 back, and then lands. Well, this one time that 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.299 she did it, At the time that she hurt herself, 00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:14.779 she came down and it was so hot. Her feet were 00:16:14.779 --> 00:16:16.720 all sweaty. And so when she went off, all her 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.179 footies went off and she's in the air like this, 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.980 hitting the trampoline and coming down on her 00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:26.299 knee and wrecked her knee. And so I had to go 00:16:26.299 --> 00:16:29.200 over there and I just went back into slow motion 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.840 instead of running. I just said, no, no, and 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.200 no, this won't happen. God doesn't make bad knees. 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.879 This isn't about to happen. But when I saw her, 00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:43.000 the first thing I had to say is, first thing 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.360 I'm going to say, sweetie, because there's people 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.620 putting all ice, everything around her, and she's 00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:48.799 just hurting and crying. I said, the first thing 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:50.139 I need to say is, I'm not going to embarrass 00:16:50.139 --> 00:16:53.460 you. Because they've heard the stories, you know. 00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:01.080 So then I said, we can go to the doctor if you 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:05.900 want. They do really well nowadays with tendons 00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:07.819 and all that, ACL, all that kind of stuff. You 00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:10.480 go to out surgery, and you'll probably have six 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.519 months for it to be better, and then we'll have 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:14.200 to get back in the gym. It'll take us some time 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.799 to get you back into shape. I said, we can do 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.759 it God's way. And she said, well, I want to do 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:21.319 it God's way. I said, okay, well, the first thing 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.440 I need to ask you is, does God make bad knees? 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.200 And through her tears, she looked at me, she 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.359 said, God doesn't make bad news. I said, very 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.079 good. I said, then there's nothing wrong with 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.480 yours. I said, so take that ice right now and 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.019 get rid of it. And the lady goes, and she takes 00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:36.700 the ice like that. And there's a lady crunching 00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:38.279 ice over my shoulder and I looked at her like, 00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:44.200 she goes. Amen. And I guess I offended them, 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.599 but I told my wife Aaron, I said, I'll get better 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:52.640 the next time. So anyhow, back to Alan, you know. 00:17:53.289 --> 00:17:55.509 So I asked Kevin, I said, no, go talk to him. 00:17:55.589 --> 00:17:57.490 So I walked up and I said, hey, Alan, do you 00:17:57.490 --> 00:17:59.390 remember me? And he goes, yeah, you're, I said, 00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:01.650 Kevin's brother -in -law. I said, that's right. 00:18:02.289 --> 00:18:04.809 I said, Jim. He goes, yeah, that's right. I said, 00:18:04.890 --> 00:18:10.089 Alan, what happened to you? You don't look very 00:18:10.089 --> 00:18:14.029 well. He said, I have four stage prostate cancer. 00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:17.029 He said, I've been all over the world trying 00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:19.369 alternative methods. I've gone through all my 00:18:19.369 --> 00:18:22.170 radiation, all my chemo. In fact, this very week. 00:18:22.889 --> 00:18:26.069 I'm done with it all. Nothing has changed. They're 00:18:26.069 --> 00:18:30.569 turning me out to sea. I said, are you trying 00:18:30.569 --> 00:18:33.589 to tell me that they can't help you? He said, 00:18:33.609 --> 00:18:36.789 as far as medical science, alternative methods, 00:18:37.029 --> 00:18:45.289 there's no help. I said, so you're dying. I said, 00:18:45.309 --> 00:18:48.470 well, I'm going to help you. He said, you're 00:18:48.470 --> 00:18:51.150 going to help me. I said, yes, I'm going to help 00:18:51.150 --> 00:18:56.609 you. He said, what are you going to do? I said, 00:18:56.630 --> 00:18:59.609 do you remember what I am? Do you remember what 00:18:59.609 --> 00:19:05.349 I do? And now I'm getting sassy. Because now 00:19:05.349 --> 00:19:10.569 I'm in charge. Consciousness. Consciousness. 00:19:11.990 --> 00:19:15.470 The mind of Christ. He said, well, you're some 00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:17.390 like preacher or something, aren't you? I said, 00:19:17.390 --> 00:19:19.069 that's right. And I could see it in his eyes. 00:19:19.109 --> 00:19:21.289 He thought I was going to go like this and bury 00:19:21.289 --> 00:19:29.240 him. He said, okay, so what are you going to 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:31.460 do? I looked at him and said, I'm going to kill 00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:34.119 your cancer. He said, you're going to do what? 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.880 I said, I'm going to kill your cancer. He said, 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.819 how are you going to do that? As I walked away, 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:41.220 I said, I guess you have to wait until tomorrow 00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:46.539 to find out. He said, why did you walk away? 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.130 Because I introduced it to him. Now he has to 00:19:52.130 --> 00:20:00.910 find me. So the next day I get there and I'm 00:20:00.910 --> 00:20:05.150 in the cart and he's up on top of the cart looking 00:20:05.150 --> 00:20:09.910 for me. So I then went down into the cart and 00:20:09.910 --> 00:20:17.089 said, Kevin, drive away real fast. I don't want 00:20:17.089 --> 00:20:24.390 him to find me. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. That 00:20:24.390 --> 00:20:26.490 afternoon, they were all around the big tables 00:20:26.490 --> 00:20:31.130 out there on concrete with aluminum chairs. If 00:20:31.130 --> 00:20:32.529 you know what I mean, if you drag an aluminum 00:20:32.529 --> 00:20:36.170 chair on concrete, it makes a lot of noise. So 00:20:36.170 --> 00:20:38.630 they're all around the table, he and his friends, 00:20:38.710 --> 00:20:41.450 and they're talking. So I went over here on purpose 00:20:41.450 --> 00:20:44.430 so I could drag it a long ways, grabbed the chair 00:20:44.430 --> 00:20:49.670 and started dragging. And everybody, turned around 00:20:49.670 --> 00:20:51.829 to see who's the idiot who's making all the noise. 00:20:53.329 --> 00:20:55.630 And I walked right up to him with my chair right 00:20:55.630 --> 00:20:59.009 there. And I said, hey, Alan, now's the time 00:20:59.009 --> 00:21:01.970 to talk about killing your cancer. And you could 00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:06.769 see him. He's going, oh, my God. Right? So I 00:21:06.769 --> 00:21:08.589 said, doesn't look like there's room here. So 00:21:08.589 --> 00:21:10.789 I'm going to make some room. So I went down like 00:21:10.789 --> 00:21:13.150 this. And I pushed him over like that. And a 00:21:13.150 --> 00:21:16.210 guy I don't even know, I went, and I said, now 00:21:16.210 --> 00:21:21.019 there's room. And I pulled the chair up. And 00:21:21.019 --> 00:21:26.559 I started talking to him about Jesus. He defeated 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.019 death, hell, and the grave and took on his back 00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:35.160 every sickness and every disease. Yours, he defeated. 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.920 And I'm talking loud. And you can see he's squirming 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:43.400 in his seat and I got him just where I want him. 00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:49.940 And when I was done talking with him, he said, 00:21:50.349 --> 00:21:52.150 when is this going to happen? I said, tomorrow. 00:21:52.950 --> 00:21:55.349 When tomorrow? I said, it's going to happen after 00:21:55.349 --> 00:21:57.529 the tournament at your house. He said, you're 00:21:57.529 --> 00:21:59.950 coming to my house? I'm coming to your house. 00:22:01.630 --> 00:22:05.190 And I pushed the chair back. I grabbed this guy. 00:22:05.250 --> 00:22:08.549 I said, there you go. I grabbed Alan. I said, 00:22:08.650 --> 00:22:11.670 there you go. I said, see you tomorrow. And I 00:22:11.670 --> 00:22:21.150 dragged the chair. Says, you're making yourself 00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:23.650 look like a horse's rear. That's exactly what 00:22:23.650 --> 00:22:29.789 I'm doing. On purpose. On purpose. That next 00:22:29.789 --> 00:22:33.529 day came. I went over to his house. We were all 00:22:33.529 --> 00:22:35.410 dressed because, you know, you have all this 00:22:35.410 --> 00:22:37.269 tournament and then you got to go, you know, 00:22:37.269 --> 00:22:39.509 have the dinner and people win prizes and all 00:22:39.509 --> 00:22:42.049 that. We were all dressed nice. He and his wife 00:22:42.049 --> 00:22:44.470 are there. He lets me into the house. I walk 00:22:44.470 --> 00:22:46.109 into the house, sit down and say, come on, let's 00:22:46.109 --> 00:22:49.700 get this show on the road. They don't know anything. 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:54.079 I said, well, I said, here's what we're gonna 00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:58.000 do. Let me tell you a story. I said, I was on 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.440 the road. I came back home. It was Wednesday 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:05.400 night. I get a call at five o 'clock from the 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:07.019 church that we were going to. And they said, 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.220 Jim, can you come in? Like ASAP, there's a girl 00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:13.720 here, 16 years of age with fourth stage leukemia. 00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:16.799 Doctors have given her up to die. She's with 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.500 her parents. And I'd really like if you would 00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:24.720 come and minister to her. And I said, okay, I'll 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.539 get ready real quick. And I did, and I went. 00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:28.859 And when I walked in, there were all these ministers 00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:32.240 there. And I'm thinking, you know, I always have 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:38.119 more results when I'm a little ticked. Because 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:39.880 if I'm on edge, I'll do things that I wouldn't 00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.599 do. You know what I mean? Nice is then out the 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:46.220 door. And you do stuff. Otherwise, when you're 00:23:46.220 --> 00:23:54.809 too nice, Healings are messy. Like we make people 00:23:54.809 --> 00:23:58.170 run when they don't want to. And you say, well, 00:23:58.289 --> 00:24:04.029 it could hurt them. But it doesn't hurt me. Okay, 00:24:04.190 --> 00:24:09.210 okay, stop right there. That's way too much information. 00:24:09.470 --> 00:24:11.109 You're going to learn some of our secrets. So, 00:24:11.109 --> 00:24:15.029 okay. So I walked in and it just kind of made 00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:18.420 me think, why are these guys? Because some of 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:23.779 my friends, they work in healing. And so I felt 00:24:23.779 --> 00:24:26.500 that pressure and I didn't like that. So I walked 00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:28.220 in and I looked at this guy that brought me in 00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:30.519 and I said, hey, get me some oil. You ever seen 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.700 someone's phone go off in a service and they 00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:35.319 can't really get to it? And it's still going 00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:39.259 off. And it's like, just slowly. But I mean, 00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:41.400 so he's in his pocket forever. It's like, it's 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:46.660 not that deep. What do you got in there? And 00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:48.950 finally, He comes out and it's a little oil. 00:24:49.089 --> 00:24:51.789 He said, here it is. I said, what is that? He 00:24:51.789 --> 00:24:54.750 said, it's from the Holy Land. I said, oh my 00:24:54.750 --> 00:24:59.309 gosh. I said, go get me a pitcher. He said, I 00:24:59.309 --> 00:25:02.349 said, go get me a pitcher. And I hear all these 00:25:02.349 --> 00:25:04.970 cupboards, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, 00:25:04.970 --> 00:25:08.150 in the kitchen. And the guy comes out in seconds 00:25:08.150 --> 00:25:12.130 with a whole pitcher of oil. I said, good, thank 00:25:12.130 --> 00:25:14.170 you. And I walked over to the girl. I said, look 00:25:14.170 --> 00:25:17.259 at this. She's got a mask on. We all know what 00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:21.059 that's like. She's got a mask on and her hair's 00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:23.500 kind of ratty. She's got sweat clothes on and 00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:25.240 her parents are on either side. I said, look 00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:27.740 at this. This represents the Holy Ghost. There's 00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:29.359 going to be a lot of Holy Ghost coming on you. 00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:32.500 I said, it's going to mess up your hair. It's 00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:34.160 going to mess up your clothes, but you're dying 00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:39.420 anyhow. So who cares? And I said, so here it 00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:42.180 goes. And we pour this all over, smear it into 00:25:42.180 --> 00:25:45.690 her. And then I said, in the name of Jesus, and 00:25:45.690 --> 00:25:50.690 that's all I said. I said, there you go. He said, 00:25:50.710 --> 00:25:53.670 that's it? That's it. Three days later, they 00:25:53.670 --> 00:25:57.329 couldn't find an ounce of leukemia. So I looked 00:25:57.329 --> 00:26:06.609 at Alan's wife, and I said, go get the oil. She 00:26:06.609 --> 00:26:09.220 jumped up. Because you know, I'm building this 00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:11.579 up so there's energy in the room. She jumps up 00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:14.539 and runs into the, and I hear these covers. And 00:26:14.539 --> 00:26:17.339 then she comes out with this smaller bottle. 00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:18.920 She said, this is all we have. I said, well, 00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:20.720 that's fine. I said, you know, we're not going 00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:22.859 to put it all over them. I mean, we got something 00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:26.480 to go to. She said, yeah, but we're Italian. 00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:29.519 I said, that's okay. She said, no, it's garlic 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:37.660 oil. I said, really? She goes, yeah, it's garlic 00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:40.660 oil. I said, I can't put garlic oil on him. He's 00:26:40.660 --> 00:26:45.119 gonna stink. I said, okay, plan B. I said, I'm 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.420 in Ocala, Florida. I'm ministering to people 00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:50.019 and there's a lady in a wheelchair. She's probably 00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:52.640 80 years old. And I looked at her and I said, 00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:54.940 mama, it's time for you to get out of that chair 00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:57.460 and walk. She looked at me, she said, I can't 00:26:57.460 --> 00:26:59.700 do that. I said, oh no, you can. I just told 00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:03.059 you, you can. She said, no, I can't do that. 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.809 I said, I said you can. And she got up on her 00:27:06.809 --> 00:27:10.009 elbows and said, but I said I can't. And I'm 00:27:10.009 --> 00:27:13.349 thinking, this lady is going to ruin my healing 00:27:13.349 --> 00:27:21.690 line. Something needs to happen here. So I said, 00:27:21.730 --> 00:27:26.049 I said you can. She said, Sonny, I said I can't. 00:27:28.029 --> 00:27:30.950 I said, where's Jesus in all this? She said, 00:27:30.990 --> 00:27:33.289 that's a really good question. Oh, you don't 00:27:33.289 --> 00:27:36.869 know him? I said, since you can't go anywhere. 00:27:39.329 --> 00:27:44.210 I said, you're just going to have to get saved 00:27:44.210 --> 00:27:47.849 right here. I said, give me your hand right now. 00:27:47.930 --> 00:27:49.869 Do you believe in Jesus? Oh, of course I do. 00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:51.980 You've never asked him to be the Lord of your 00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:54.299 life. No, I don't know that I have. I said, well, 00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:56.299 he's coming into your heart right now. Repeat 00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:59.819 this after me. And I prayed and instantly God 00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:03.420 came into that. Let me ask you a question. Have 00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:06.400 you ever smelled a Reese's peanut butter cup 00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:12.039 wrapper? Does it smell like an Almond Joy? It 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:16.359 doesn't. What does it smell like? A Reese's peanut 00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:21.250 butter cup. You see, the candy bar affects the 00:28:21.250 --> 00:28:28.049 wrapper. The moment Jesus came in, I said, now. 00:28:28.369 --> 00:28:31.470 And she jumped out and started dancing with her 00:28:31.470 --> 00:28:35.490 skirt like this all over the auditorium. And 00:28:35.490 --> 00:28:38.089 we had a meeting. Why did that work? Because 00:28:38.089 --> 00:28:41.750 when God came in, he touched her body. He's touching 00:28:41.750 --> 00:28:46.650 someone's body right now. See, so many of you 00:28:46.650 --> 00:28:49.430 are overdue. He's been there for a long time. 00:28:49.690 --> 00:28:51.569 And he's been touching and touching and touching 00:28:51.569 --> 00:28:53.569 and touching and touching and touching. But if 00:28:53.569 --> 00:28:56.750 you consciously don't know he's touching, then 00:28:56.750 --> 00:29:00.609 you're choosing something that's not life by 00:29:00.609 --> 00:29:08.009 not choosing something that is. I looked at Alan 00:29:08.009 --> 00:29:10.589 and said, it's time to ask Jesus into your heart. 00:29:10.769 --> 00:29:14.380 We all grabbed hands. Power of God fell. He had 00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:16.319 tears in his eyes, grabbed his heart, and he 00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:18.700 said, I feel something right here. I said, you 00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:22.079 feel more than that, brother. Four days later, 00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:27.119 Salt Lake City, of eight that had the same diagnosis, 00:29:27.619 --> 00:29:30.779 he's the only one that lived. The nurse said, 00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:32.880 there's literally nothing on your, is it the 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.319 PSA? There's nothing there. He said, we added 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:39.279 a couple of little numbers because it's perfect. 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:46.230 A year later, Sorry for this extra part. A year 00:29:46.230 --> 00:29:47.769 later, I called and said, Alan, how are you doing? 00:29:47.789 --> 00:29:49.930 He goes, I'm doing wonderful. I said, what are 00:29:49.930 --> 00:29:51.869 you doing to keep your healing? He said, what 00:29:51.869 --> 00:29:53.589 do you mean? I said, well, like, what are the 00:29:53.589 --> 00:29:55.589 things that you do? He goes, well, I read the 00:29:55.589 --> 00:29:57.609 newspaper. And he said, I'm just so thankful 00:29:57.609 --> 00:30:00.049 when I see people hurting that I'm actually well. 00:30:00.630 --> 00:30:02.390 I said, well, you might want to go to the, and 00:30:02.390 --> 00:30:06.250 I almost said, go to that church. And then I 00:30:06.250 --> 00:30:09.269 thought, no, just keep reading the newspaper. 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.279 Because depending on where you go, people talk 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.740 you out of your healing. Jesus had to tell guys 00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:22.680 not to go back into the town. Then he told the 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.880 one that went back in, just don't tell anybody. 00:30:32.099 --> 00:30:36.420 God's in this room. And if I have the choice 00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:40.200 and the devil doesn't, and death does it, then 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:42.099 you're not dying. I don't care what the report 00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:49.980 is. You're living today. And when we touch you, 00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:54.480 God's power will touch you. And we will kill 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:59.880 that disease with the life of God. And the anointing 00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:04.599 will destroy the yoke, remove the burden, and 00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:10.279 raise you up. Now, That's the only way you can 00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:13.920 think. Think anything other and it muddies the 00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:19.140 water. Become absolute in your thought and you 00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:23.579 reach your destination. Have you ever heard your 00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:27.440 GPS set recalculating, recalculating, recalculating? 00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:32.700 Why? You got off course. This morning, when you 00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:34.940 come up to get ministered to, you might hear 00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:39.779 the word recalculating in your mind because God's 00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:42.640 recalculating you back to something very simple 00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:48.740 and very absolute. This ministry is now a ministry, 00:31:48.940 --> 00:31:53.119 not that it hasn't been, but it now is a ministry 00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:58.220 of such abundance of healings. It's in the air, 00:31:58.299 --> 00:32:01.299 everybody. And if it's in the air and you're 00:32:01.299 --> 00:32:04.480 breathing, you're in a really good place. There 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.019 will be people in the near future that will ask 00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:09.500 to come and sit in this auditorium for an hour 00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:12.200 as though they were in one of those med beds 00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:17.240 just to breathe. Because this air is filled with 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:46.119 Jesus. Amen, amen. If you are in need of prayer, 00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:52.099 send us a text message at 541 -625 -1365. We 00:32:52.099 --> 00:32:53.279 would love to pray with you.
