WEBVTT

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.940
I was thrilled that this weekend was open and

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:08.019
I considered a great privilege to have this impartation

00:00:08.019 --> 00:00:10.179
this morning. Would you welcome the servant of

00:00:10.179 --> 00:00:16.980
the Lord, Pastor Moses Vey as he comes. Thank

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:30.829
you. God bless you. Good morning. Ah, you folks

00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:35.189
get up early around here. I feel like the preacher

00:00:35.189 --> 00:00:39.490
who dreamed he was preaching, and when he woke

00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:46.630
up, he was. What a day to be in the house of

00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:48.429
the Lord. What a day to be in the fellowship

00:00:48.429 --> 00:00:52.909
of the family of God. And the Lord knows where

00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:55.390
you folks live. It's amazing how he finds you

00:00:55.390 --> 00:00:58.979
out here. What a wonderful place, and I've enjoyed

00:00:58.979 --> 00:01:02.359
being with you in the great hospitality and friendship

00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.659
of everyone extended to us, and thank you so

00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:09.280
much. I'm sure your hearts are ready for the

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.579
Word of God as we are praying this morning in

00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:16.079
the prayer room back here in the power room,

00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:20.579
and I just thought how good it was that we could

00:01:20.579 --> 00:01:24.420
be together and listen for God. It's a wonderful

00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:28.359
thing to have a hearing ear, isn't it? Amen.

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.599
Eight times in the book of Revelation, Jesus

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.939
said, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

00:01:35.579 --> 00:01:37.859
Isn't it wonderful that God gave us twice as

00:01:37.859 --> 00:01:44.519
many ears as he did tongues? Every one of you

00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:50.200
are wired for sound. God made you that way. He

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.569
made you susceptible to his voice. And he's a

00:01:53.569 --> 00:01:57.950
God who communicates. God is not giving you the

00:01:57.950 --> 00:02:03.810
silent treatment. Amen? His voice is continuous.

00:02:04.250 --> 00:02:08.629
Only our hearing is intermittent. So that's why

00:02:08.629 --> 00:02:10.750
it's important that we have an ear to hear. Morning

00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:16.150
by morning, he wakens my ear. Morning by morning,

00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:21.210
he wakens me. And then he wakens my ear to hear.

00:02:21.900 --> 00:02:24.900
And then he gives me the tongue of a disciplined

00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:30.180
one. One that can speak a word in season to those

00:02:30.180 --> 00:02:32.439
who are weary. And that's what we want to do

00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.520
this morning. I'm talking to you this morning

00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.960
from my heart because I believe God's ordained

00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.180
this time. And this is a time of enlargement.

00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.020
That's my theme. It's a time of enlargement.

00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:52.180
It's a time for God to stretch us. Amen. Men

00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:56.819
are always looking for better methods. God is

00:02:56.819 --> 00:03:01.419
looking for better men. Men who are on the stretch.

00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:04.259
I'm not just talking about men -men. I'm talking

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:09.319
about women -men too. In other words, I don't

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.240
want to get you confused, but some of God's greatest

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:17.319
men are women. And be careful how I say that.

00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:25.340
California, but anyway. God is no respecter of

00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:28.439
persons. His anointing is important for all of

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.979
us, isn't it? But God is, E .M. Bound says, God's

00:03:31.979 --> 00:03:34.539
looking for men who are on the stretch for God.

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.659
Think about it, on the stretch for God. Sometimes

00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:41.360
you feel like he's pulled you to the extreme,

00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:45.620
but there's still more room. He'll keep stretching

00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:49.500
you. He'll keep enlarging you. And that's God's

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:55.419
purpose. service. I felt the Lord gave me a specific

00:03:55.419 --> 00:03:58.159
word for this body, and I'm not going to read

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.020
it, but I'll quote you part of it. It's in Isaiah

00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:02.460
49. In fact, I'm going to just give you the scriptures.

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.840
You can write them down if you want to. I'll

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.560
be speaking primarily from Isaiah chapter 54.

00:04:10.099 --> 00:04:13.240
I'll make reference to other passages, but this

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.939
particular scripture is in Isaiah 49, verses

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:21.560
13 through 17. And the Lord said, sing, O Zion.

00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:24.930
Break forth in a singing. God's a God who loves.

00:04:25.050 --> 00:04:29.389
Thank you, dear. God bless you. And as I told

00:04:29.389 --> 00:04:31.790
you last night, if I get, I got a little fire.

00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:33.810
If I get a little water, we might have some steam.

00:04:40.129 --> 00:04:41.970
I'm not used to being out here in the country

00:04:41.970 --> 00:04:45.970
with all this wonderful, wonderful hay around.

00:04:52.280 --> 00:04:56.439
Isaiah 49, 13, he said, sing, O Zion, break forth

00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.779
into singing. Well, Zion says, I don't feel like

00:04:58.779 --> 00:05:02.139
singing. I don't feel like singing because I

00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:04.759
don't even think God remembers me. I feel like

00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.079
God's forsaken me. That's the attitude of the

00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.540
church. We're called the Zion of God. We've come

00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:14.839
to Mount Zion, haven't we? Amen. We used to sing

00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.709
the old hymn, we're marching to Zion. Anybody

00:05:18.709 --> 00:05:22.009
remember that old hymn? Oh, yeah, okay. Well,

00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:24.490
the truth of it is it's Zion marching. It's not

00:05:24.490 --> 00:05:28.990
we're marching to Zion. We are Zion, amen? And

00:05:28.990 --> 00:05:32.089
he says, Zion says, the Lord has forsaken me.

00:05:32.329 --> 00:05:35.089
And then the Lord asked the rhetorical question.

00:05:35.189 --> 00:05:38.810
He says, can a mother forsake her sucking child?

00:05:39.009 --> 00:05:41.089
Can the mother forget the child of her birth?

00:05:41.470 --> 00:05:46.740
And God said, yes, the mother will forget. Our

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:50.360
mothers do forget. It's sad to say, but we do

00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.879
have mothers that forget. But God said, I'll

00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.680
not forget you. And the reason I can't forget

00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.660
you is because I've got a picture of you on both

00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:03.220
of my hands. I've got you tattooed. That's what

00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:06.500
the Amplified Bible said. I've engraved in you.

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:10.480
I've tattooed you. I have a picture of you. on

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.439
the palms of my hands. And not what you look

00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.279
like now, but what you are going to look like

00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.439
when he gets done processing you. Amen. So every

00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.079
time he whoops you a little, he looks at his

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.939
hand. He said, okay, a little more. Hallelujah.

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.639
And how many understand what I'm talking about?

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.060
Because the father loves us. He's shaping us

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:32.160
into the image of his son. He's creating us into

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.759
his image. And we can move on that. It's powerful.

00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:40.050
But Zion has said this because There's this feeling

00:06:40.050 --> 00:06:43.370
sometimes like God has cut you off. You wonder

00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:46.829
if God even remembers your address. Does he know

00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:48.949
where you live? Does he have your phone number?

00:06:49.110 --> 00:06:52.269
Is he sensitive to your needs? Yes, God said,

00:06:52.310 --> 00:06:55.310
I know all about you. I can't forget you. Every

00:06:55.310 --> 00:07:00.129
time I look at my hands, there you are. And not

00:07:00.129 --> 00:07:02.449
like you are now, but like you're going to be

00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:05.290
because he's shaping us and conforming us to

00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:09.360
the image of his son, the Lord Jesus. Amen. But

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.500
that isn't all he says. He said, I want you to

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:17.139
start singing now because your builders and your

00:07:17.139 --> 00:07:20.060
children are coming to you. Your builders and

00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:22.319
children are coming. Make haste. They're coming

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.459
with haste. In other words, a quick work. And

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:28.420
I'm speaking this prophetically to this church.

00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.060
You're on the threshold of a quick explosion

00:07:32.060 --> 00:07:36.139
of enlargement. It's not going to be a protracted

00:07:36.139 --> 00:07:38.600
thing. It's going to be very quick. And God said,

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.439
I'm going to send you builders. I'm going to

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.980
send you builders, and it's going to be children.

00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:46.360
You know what's interesting? The word for builder

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.000
and building material is the same in the Bible,

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.839
and it's the same word we use for sons and daughters

00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.639
in the Hebrew. It's bana. It's something to do

00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.100
with building material. He said, I'm sending

00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:01.420
you sons and daughters. I'm going to send you

00:08:01.420 --> 00:08:04.180
builders, but I'm also going to do something

00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:07.639
else. I'm going to take away from you those who

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.759
would destroy. Now that's a powerful, powerful

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.779
promise. God said, I'm going to send you builders,

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.720
but I'm not going to let destroyers get among

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.459
you. I'm going to take them away from you. I'll

00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:22.899
keep them away from you. It's a wonderful thing

00:08:22.899 --> 00:08:26.300
God's doing here because, you know, I heard this

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:29.759
years ago, a good thing to remember and a better

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.019
thing to do is always work with the builders

00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:40.169
and not the wrecking crew. You'll find in every

00:08:40.169 --> 00:08:42.409
instance in the scriptures, wherever there was

00:08:42.409 --> 00:08:45.570
dispersion and dissembling in the body of Christ,

00:08:45.610 --> 00:08:49.830
it came through murmuring. Murmur, murmur. Isn't

00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:52.649
that an incredible word? It's not even etymologically

00:08:52.649 --> 00:08:57.970
sound. It doesn't make any sense. Mur, mur, mur,

00:08:58.129 --> 00:09:01.769
murmur. That's the language of the kingdom of

00:09:01.769 --> 00:09:06.679
darkness. Worship and praise is the language

00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:11.620
of the sons of the kingdom. Amen? Of God. And

00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:16.519
so murmuring, that's the devil's language. The

00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.639
Lord said, I'll keep that away from you. I'm

00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.899
going to send you the kind of material that will

00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:26.100
build, that will construct, that will be powerful

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:28.600
and edifying. And then he says, I'll gather.

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:31.100
Then I'm going to gather to you the nations,

00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:34.009
and I'm going to clothe you with them. God said,

00:09:34.049 --> 00:09:36.370
I'm going to put them on you as an ornament on

00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:38.990
a bride. Isn't that marvelous? That's all there

00:09:38.990 --> 00:09:42.269
in chapter 49. Now, I won't develop that because

00:09:42.269 --> 00:09:44.690
you'll have time to look at that later, but that

00:09:44.690 --> 00:09:46.629
is powerful. If you read it in the Amplified,

00:09:46.809 --> 00:09:49.470
it's even a little more poignant, all right?

00:09:49.990 --> 00:09:54.429
And so what the Lord was saying to us, that the

00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:56.789
time for enlargement has come. Let's look at

00:09:56.789 --> 00:09:59.970
Isaiah chapter 54, if you will, please, in your

00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:07.799
Bible. Isaiah is in the Old Testament. Chapter

00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.700
54. And here's what God said. Incidentally, how

00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:16.440
many know that 54 follows 53? Isn't that deep?

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:21.120
All right. Chapter 53, we have the total story

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.240
of the sufferings of Christ. And that 53rd chapter

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.320
opens with these words. Lord, who has believed

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.059
our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord?

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:35.179
been made revealed or made real. The Hebrew word

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:37.580
there is very powerful because literally what

00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:42.480
it's saying, it's in the feminine. The Hebrew

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.200
is in the feminine gender and it says, who is

00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.500
she that has said amen to her Lord or her husband's

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:55.820
report? Who is the she here? Very critical. This

00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:59.600
whole text is wrapped around the sacrifice of

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.279
Jesus Christ, our Lord. There's no chapter any

00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.639
more explicit about the suffering of Christ than

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.620
Isaiah 53. which talks to us as we did in communion

00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:12.720
this morning. He was wounded for our transgressions.

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.559
He was bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement

00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.200
of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes

00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.559
we are healed. You remember the Ethiopian eunuch

00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.039
was stumbling along this 53rd chapter when Philip

00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.559
went up to meet him on the road to Azotus, and

00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.220
so on. And so we find that it's a very critical

00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:34.500
chapter. Who is she? This is the key word here.

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.799
Who is the she here? He's talking about his bride.

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:41.220
Who is the bride that's going to say amen to

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:44.960
her Lord's report? It's a powerful thing when

00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.379
the spirit and the bride, listen to me carefully

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:50.399
now, when the spirit and the bride are saying

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:55.919
the same thing. In Revelation chapter 21, when

00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.539
the spirit and the bride say come, chapter 22,

00:12:00.930 --> 00:12:05.909
He says he will come. In other words, when the

00:12:05.909 --> 00:12:08.750
spirit and the bride are saying the same thing,

00:12:08.909 --> 00:12:13.149
even so come quickly, Lord Jesus. I don't believe

00:12:13.149 --> 00:12:15.049
he's coming till we're saying the same thing.

00:12:15.470 --> 00:12:17.850
We have to come in agreement with him. Amen.

00:12:18.090 --> 00:12:22.110
Who is she that says amen to the Lord's report?

00:12:22.350 --> 00:12:25.509
Okay. Now, after the 53rd chapter describes the

00:12:25.509 --> 00:12:28.519
sufferings of Christ. And then he's buried with

00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.139
the dead, with the rich rather, in his death.

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:34.179
And he's put in a borrowed tomb, as you know.

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.840
He didn't stay there. Thank God. I've been to

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.100
the tomb. I've laid in it. I know he's not there.

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.940
Hallelujah. I didn't want to stay there either.

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:45.909
Praise God. I know he's been there, but he's

00:12:45.909 --> 00:12:49.009
not there now. And so today we're standing on

00:12:49.009 --> 00:12:52.029
the other side of the redemptive work of Christ.

00:12:52.429 --> 00:12:56.929
And in chapter 54, the first word in that 54th

00:12:56.929 --> 00:13:02.789
chapter is sing. Sing, O barren, sing. For the

00:13:02.789 --> 00:13:06.059
bride... of Christ here is depicted as one who's

00:13:06.059 --> 00:13:09.179
been barren, not productive, but he said, you're

00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:12.080
going to be productive. Sing, O barren, sing.

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.100
So the first thing that's going to release productivity

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:19.159
in the body is a new song. In every new move

00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.879
of God, there's a fresh word. In every new move

00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.919
of God, there's a song. There's a fresh sound.

00:13:25.059 --> 00:13:28.500
Every visitation of God. I'd done a recent study

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:32.100
on the history of our Pentecostal roots in keeping

00:13:32.100 --> 00:13:35.429
with the 100 years celebration at Azusa Street.

00:13:35.549 --> 00:13:39.210
I think you all heard about it. And I had a tremendous

00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:41.750
time studying that for a simple reason. I've

00:13:41.750 --> 00:13:48.730
lived seven tenths of that time. And I preached

00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:53.149
about six tenths of that time. So, you know,

00:13:53.149 --> 00:13:56.100
it's exciting to know that. that we've lived

00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:58.759
to see the outpouring of the Spirit of God and

00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.779
the results of it are all over the world. And

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:04.759
believe me, there's no limit to what God's doing

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.419
today. We're seeing hundreds of thousands of

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:10.399
people turning to Christ. And thousands every

00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.039
day are being born again and filled with the

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.600
Holy Ghost. And the revival is on. We've been

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.440
in many countries. And so this great gospel,

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.899
this glorious thing is proliferate all over the

00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:23.120
world. Well, we won't get into that. But I've

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.220
done four weeks of study on that. And I'll tell

00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:27.960
you, I was more excited, I believe, than anybody

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.840
who heard me because it's still in my spirit.

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.039
I'm excited about enlargement. I'm excited about

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.120
what God's saying here in the Word. So here's

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:40.460
what he said. Break forth into singing, O barren

00:14:40.460 --> 00:14:43.440
one, and cry aloud if you never had children

00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.299
before, for more are the children of the desolate

00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:48.240
than the children of the married wife, says the

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.519
Lord. Enlarge the place of thy tent and let them

00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.659
stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations.

00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:59.919
Spare not. That's a powerful word. In other words,

00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:05.240
God said, don't limit me. Spare not. Don't fence

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:10.450
me in. Don't inhibit me. Don't try to put your

00:15:10.450 --> 00:15:14.950
limitations on what I want to do. Amen? Let me

00:15:14.950 --> 00:15:18.250
tell you right now, I hasn't seen it. Ear hasn't

00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:20.210
heard it. Neither has it entered the heart of

00:15:20.210 --> 00:15:24.110
man. The things which God has already prepared

00:15:24.110 --> 00:15:28.590
for you that love him. But that's not a period

00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:31.750
there. It's a comma. but he has revealed them

00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:34.970
to us by his Spirit, for the Spirit searches

00:15:34.970 --> 00:15:38.429
all things, yea, the deep things of God. Now

00:15:38.429 --> 00:15:40.529
we've received not the Spirit of this world,

00:15:40.570 --> 00:15:43.190
but we've received the Spirit of Christ that

00:15:43.190 --> 00:15:47.230
we may freely know, that we may freely know.

00:15:47.370 --> 00:15:50.870
Every one of us should be in the know. Every

00:15:50.870 --> 00:15:53.870
one of us are given a prerogative of knowing.

00:15:54.730 --> 00:15:58.429
What God has already prepared. God is getting

00:15:58.429 --> 00:16:02.090
you ready for that which he has already ready

00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:06.029
for you. Amen. You're not going to surprise the

00:16:06.029 --> 00:16:09.169
Lord. And he's not surprised by what happens.

00:16:09.509 --> 00:16:12.990
He's already planned it. Amen. This day has already

00:16:12.990 --> 00:16:16.210
been planned of God. This congregation has been

00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:19.710
ordered of God. You're here today by divine appointment.

00:16:20.049 --> 00:16:23.129
Maybe somebody cajoled you to come. Maybe somebody

00:16:23.129 --> 00:16:26.090
just. razzed you and said, you got to go to church.

00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:28.269
Maybe you're here because you want to be here.

00:16:28.389 --> 00:16:31.470
All of that's wonderful, but you're here in the

00:16:31.470 --> 00:16:33.909
will of God. And so God is here to meet you.

00:16:34.049 --> 00:16:36.009
And here's what I want you to see. He said, spare

00:16:36.009 --> 00:16:39.409
not, lengthen your cords. Important now. Let's

00:16:39.409 --> 00:16:42.830
look at two things, cords and stakes and strengthen

00:16:42.830 --> 00:16:46.929
your stakes. God said, I want you to prepare

00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:50.970
yourself for you shall break forth on the right

00:16:50.970 --> 00:16:53.840
hand. And on the left hand, I don't know how

00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.120
many other hands you have. Amen. God said, I'm

00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:00.080
going to bless you on the right hand, and I'm

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.000
going to bless you on the left hand. You're going

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.059
to break forth. The word there, break forth,

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:07.799
is a word, bara, which means like a breaking

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.619
forth of a mighty stream. It means an irresistible

00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:14.440
force. It means you're going to bear. You're

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.059
going to have children. Let me tell you something.

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:21.579
You just can't be a little bit pregnant. I know

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:27.700
my wife had six of them. She wished I'd have

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:36.920
had a couple. At least one. Thank you, Jesus.

00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.240
Thank you, Jesus. That he fixed it that way.

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:47.119
Hallelujah. But we love them all. And now we've

00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.440
got 17 grandkids. a couple of great grands, so

00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.720
we're moving right along. Anyhow, he said, you're

00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.299
going to break forth. We finally discovered what

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:59.579
was causing it. You shall break forth on the

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:02.940
right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:08.539
inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities

00:18:08.539 --> 00:18:11.039
to be inhabited. I want you to see something

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.099
here very powerful. For God said, I don't want

00:18:14.099 --> 00:18:17.839
you to limit me. I don't want you to be restricted.

00:18:18.569 --> 00:18:20.769
I read this in our paper yesterday, and it's

00:18:20.769 --> 00:18:23.069
just amazing. You can't read it, but I'll just

00:18:23.069 --> 00:18:26.250
tell you what it says. There's a study going

00:18:26.250 --> 00:18:29.109
on now that people's circle of close friends

00:18:29.109 --> 00:18:34.910
are waning. That's in our Orange County Register,

00:18:35.309 --> 00:18:39.009
very popular paper where we are. And the story

00:18:39.009 --> 00:18:42.190
goes on to tell us that people are disintegrating.

00:18:42.849 --> 00:18:44.670
Relationships are disintegrating. We're living

00:18:44.670 --> 00:18:47.130
in a fast age when everybody's getting involved

00:18:47.130 --> 00:18:49.849
and they're more involved with internet and with

00:18:49.849 --> 00:18:55.269
all of the mechanics of internet and whatever

00:18:55.269 --> 00:18:58.730
you call it, the new age of revelation and information

00:18:58.730 --> 00:19:02.869
and television and video and all of that. But

00:19:02.869 --> 00:19:04.809
let me tell you something. There's an inherent

00:19:04.809 --> 00:19:09.240
desire in every one of you. You are birthed in

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:12.400
God to be part of an entity. You're part of the

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.960
body of Christ. You are the bride of Christ.

00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:20.400
And we are interrelated. And we are interdependent.

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.339
And we do need each other. We're not an island

00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:27.059
unto ourselves. And let me tell you something.

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:32.480
We don't get to choose who is going to be our

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.180
brother and sister. God said, I'm going to bring

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:39.799
you all kinds of people, all kinds of ethnos.

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:43.660
The word Gentiles here literally means multiplied

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:47.240
nations, people from every tribe, every nation.

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.299
God is going to build his church with a multiplicity

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:54.519
of people. And we're not going to limit God by

00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:58.160
our frame of reference and by our simple desire

00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.680
to isolate ourselves. But God is integrating

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:05.480
a glorious church, a powerful church. And wherever

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.019
we go in the world, we meet members of our family,

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:12.680
our body. Amen. Whether I'm in China, in the

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:14.779
underground church where we've traveled many,

00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:17.880
many times, or in Africa where the revival is

00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.359
raging in Africa. People don't realize this.

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:23.180
We hear a lot about AIDS and poverty in Africa.

00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.440
But I'm going to tell you, there's revival in

00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.380
Africa. We've been in the Congo where there's

00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:30.940
been massacre and all of that. But yet we saw

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:33.910
over 90 ,000 people in in one meeting, crying

00:20:33.910 --> 00:20:36.329
out to God. These people had walked for miles

00:20:36.329 --> 00:20:39.950
to be there, hungry for God. We go to Africa,

00:20:40.069 --> 00:20:43.710
we go to Europe and Kiev and Russia, all over

00:20:43.710 --> 00:20:46.369
the nations, God's pouring out his spirit in

00:20:46.369 --> 00:20:51.029
those places that were off limits. And God's

00:20:51.029 --> 00:20:56.809
visiting is chosen frozen. Amen. This spring,

00:20:56.930 --> 00:20:59.089
our son, Marcus, I'll tell you a little bit about

00:20:59.089 --> 00:21:02.839
him a little later on perhaps, but God, ordained

00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:05.680
that he was put in a position to bring all the

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:07.700
missionary leaders of the world. These are the

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:11.319
world's greatest missionary enterprises. I'm

00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.960
talking about the Youth for Christ and the Campus

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:19.519
Crusades, which they have 27 ,000 people on staff

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:24.339
all over the world. YWAM and the Southern Baptist

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:26.599
Convention and the Assemblies of God missions

00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.200
and all these major missionary leaders were together.

00:21:29.460 --> 00:21:32.160
And they got a call from the Vatican. Listen

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.259
to this. From the Vatican. You know what that

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:38.259
is? That's over there in Rome. You know where

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:41.339
I'm talking about. The Vatican called them and

00:21:41.339 --> 00:21:43.799
they said, we want to send a representative from

00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:47.519
the Vatican. The man come and he's a spirit -filled,

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:51.579
born -again, spirit -filled Italian who's married.

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:55.799
Living in the Vatican. Now, you understand what

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.160
I'm talking about? This is the guy that's the

00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.819
head of evangelism for the Catholic Church. They've

00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:03.720
come to realize that they don't know how to get

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.960
people saved. Did you hear what I'm saying? The

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.440
Vatican sent a representative to this meeting,

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:13.440
and he became a very dear friend of my son. And

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.339
they become very close together. And in that

00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:18.740
meeting, he was weeping. He said, please, Marcus,

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.000
come. Come and spend some time with me at the

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.000
Vatican and sit down and teach us how to get

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.240
people saved and filled with the Holy Ghost.

00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:39.180
Unprecedented. And while he was there in the

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:43.779
States, his wife was diagnosed with cancer of

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:48.039
the breast. And he wired back and sent emails

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:50.740
back, said, please pray. God will do a miracle

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:53.059
for my wife. She has been diagnosed with cancer.

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.500
They plugged into the prayer net and three weeks

00:22:56.500 --> 00:23:00.319
later, three weeks later, he wired back and said,

00:23:00.339 --> 00:23:07.339
she's healed. Praise God, she's healed. Two months

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:10.059
ago, our son Marcus was diagnosed with cancer

00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:13.940
of the throat as he was addressing the missionary

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:16.660
leaders of the world in another major meeting.

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.359
God gave them a vision that's unbelievable of

00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:22.880
reaching the unknown. reach peoples of the earth,

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.059
639 groups that they've singled out, that they've

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:29.339
done research on, that have no language, written

00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:32.160
language, that is. They don't have a written

00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.519
language. You can give them a book, but they

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:36.240
couldn't read it. You can give them a Bible,

00:23:36.299 --> 00:23:38.119
and they couldn't read it. So what are we doing?

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:40.420
We're having to reach them orally. And they've

00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:44.180
come up with a whole plan, a whole new structure

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:47.299
of the Bible, the whole Bible in story format,

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:53.339
135 stories in 48 hours. of teaching on CDs that

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:55.339
they're translating into all these languages

00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:58.519
to get to these people so they can hear the story.

00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:01.880
They can hear the story and be discipled. And

00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:05.119
all of this is happening. Two months ago, our

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.420
son was diagnosed with cancer as he was addressing

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:11.160
these people. But let me tell you what, God's

00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.339
healing him. He's coming out of it. My wife is

00:24:14.339 --> 00:24:17.259
healed and we're seeing awesome miracles. You

00:24:17.259 --> 00:24:19.019
know, when the scripture, when you read in the

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:22.069
Bible, 1 Peter tells us, Not to be, you know,

00:24:22.089 --> 00:24:24.170
don't be, don't think it's strange concerning

00:24:24.170 --> 00:24:27.730
the fiery trial. Did anybody read that in your

00:24:27.730 --> 00:24:30.369
Bible? You don't have that mark, do you? That's

00:24:30.369 --> 00:24:33.269
one scripture I don't like to mark. I walk over

00:24:33.269 --> 00:24:35.369
it. I love to jump on the other side of it where

00:24:35.369 --> 00:24:37.609
it says that your faith may be as pure gold.

00:24:37.789 --> 00:24:42.529
I like the gold part. The fiery part I don't

00:24:42.529 --> 00:24:46.519
like. But that's part of it. Don't think it's

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.039
strange, God said, because I'm processing you,

00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:51.900
and I'm processing you. And I just want to take

00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:53.960
this moment to tell you there's something awesome

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:57.819
going on right now in this whole area. When my

00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:01.200
son came down with that diagnosis, his friend

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:03.460
in the Vatican found out about it, and he said,

00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.940
Marcus, don't worry. We have all of our prayer

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:08.660
warriors praying for you. We have a whole cloister

00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:11.019
of sisters over here that do nothing but pray

00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:15.559
24 -7. Think of that. And you're on the top of

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:17.299
the list and they're praying for your healing

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:21.880
in the Vatican. Come on, church. These things

00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.140
just hadn't happened before. We're living in

00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:27.599
an awesome day. So what does God say to the church

00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:31.059
now? Get involved. Come on. Everything Christ

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:35.220
accomplished for us on the cross is ours to live

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:38.440
and enjoy. And he says start singing because

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.859
the whole purpose of the cross is production.

00:25:42.990 --> 00:25:45.990
To bring many sons and daughters into the kingdom

00:25:45.990 --> 00:25:51.069
of God. Amen? So he said, I want you to see this.

00:25:51.109 --> 00:25:54.450
There are over 70 definitions of the church in

00:25:54.450 --> 00:25:57.369
the Bible. Many definitions. The ecclesia, the

00:25:57.369 --> 00:26:00.630
called out ones, the born again, the chosen ones.

00:26:00.750 --> 00:26:04.130
Go through it. It's a bride in combat boots.

00:26:05.990 --> 00:26:09.109
Check it out. All of these descriptions are in

00:26:09.109 --> 00:26:12.630
the Bible. But it's moving time. Church here

00:26:12.630 --> 00:26:17.230
in Harrisburg, Oregon. It's moving time. God

00:26:17.230 --> 00:26:20.049
said the winds of God are blowing. Great shakings

00:26:20.049 --> 00:26:22.849
are going on right now. He said when the Lord

00:26:22.849 --> 00:26:26.190
rises up to build Zion, when the Lord builds

00:26:26.190 --> 00:26:30.910
Zion, then shall he appear. Then shall he appear

00:26:30.910 --> 00:26:35.359
in his glory. Psalms 102, verse 16. He said,

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:38.480
when I get ready to build Zion, he said, you

00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.519
shall go from strength to strength, every one

00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:43.960
of you appearing before the Lord in Zion. How

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.779
many know that when you go from one strength

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:55.000
to, to, to strength? How many know the twos are

00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:03.700
long? And you go from glory to, to. Two glory.

00:27:04.660 --> 00:27:08.200
The twos are long. How many know what I'm talking

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.500
about? You just don't jump from one glory to

00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:12.799
another. There's some glory in between glory.

00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:20.460
Then shall the Lord appear in Zion. Now here's

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:23.700
what he said. Enlarge the place of your dwelling.

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:27.400
That means you have to rip out the old tent stakes,

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.420
get them out from where they are. We're talking

00:27:30.420 --> 00:27:32.319
about a tent. We're not talking about a building

00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:35.440
now, a brick and mortar. We're talking about

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.619
a tent. Enlarge the place of your tent. Stretch

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:42.680
your curtains way out. In ancient Bible times

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:46.200
and even now in the Middle East, a man was known,

00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:50.140
his wealth was registered by the number of tent

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:55.160
pegs he had in his tent or stakes. Let's say

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:58.059
stakes. You know what I mean? We drive down the

00:27:58.059 --> 00:28:02.140
stake. Okay. He was a many -staked man, and that

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:04.720
means he's wealthy. It means he's got a broad

00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:08.880
coverage. His tent reaches out. He's got terrain.

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:12.099
And still in the Middle East, when you go visit

00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:14.960
these people, you'll find the goats and sheep

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.039
and cattle and dogs and cats and chickens are

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.539
all under the same tent. And I've been there.

00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:27.000
But the hospitality of these people is unbelievable.

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.160
Once you're under his tent, you are under his

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.000
responsibility. He's responsible for you, and

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.819
he's going to watch out for you. If he invites

00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:38.880
you in his tent, you're covered. Amen? Now, here's

00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.740
what he said. Enlargement has to happen. But

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:43.359
let me tell you something about enlargement.

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:47.160
Enlargement has to happen in our hearts. When

00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:51.359
God gave Solomon this awesome challenge to build

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:54.769
the temple of the Lord, He cried out to God with

00:28:54.769 --> 00:28:57.470
all the splendor he had and all the finances

00:28:57.470 --> 00:29:02.390
he had. Folks, you think the Democrats can spend

00:29:02.390 --> 00:29:07.089
a lot of money. Let me tell you something. You

00:29:07.089 --> 00:29:11.450
couldn't even calculate what kind of finance

00:29:11.450 --> 00:29:13.809
went into the structure of Solomon's temple.

00:29:14.609 --> 00:29:18.390
This thing was so magnifical, as the old English

00:29:18.390 --> 00:29:22.230
word says, it was magnifical. It was absolutely

00:29:22.230 --> 00:29:26.329
fabulous. profound. And it wasn't as large as

00:29:26.329 --> 00:29:31.869
this building right here. But in 1932 dollars,

00:29:32.109 --> 00:29:34.569
that's when I looked back and started doing something

00:29:34.569 --> 00:29:40.089
I wasn't born in. But anyway, when gold was $32

00:29:40.089 --> 00:29:44.549
an ounce, and it's somewhere around, I don't

00:29:44.549 --> 00:29:48.349
know where it is now, $600 or $700 maybe. But

00:29:48.349 --> 00:29:52.000
at that time, The building of Solomon's temple,

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.859
they estimated, cost at least, at least $30 billion.

00:29:57.859 --> 00:30:04.180
B, billion. That's a whole lot of money. Amen.

00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:09.460
So there was no lack. He had all of that. It

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:12.319
was all laid up. Gold. I mean, they didn't just

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.400
put a little gold ornament here and there. They

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.900
just covered the walls with gold. The whole thing

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:22.519
was overlaid with gold. Every stone in that building

00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:25.880
was interlocked with gold. It had a gold lock

00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:28.920
that tied it together. Every stone in that building

00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:33.900
had been quarried and cut in the quarry and numbered

00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:36.400
so that when that building was put together,

00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:43.240
there was not the sound of a hammer. Not the

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:48.099
sound of a hammer to put this magnificent building

00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:50.440
that was one of the seven wonders of the world.

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:55.460
I don't think we can even grasp that. But in

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:59.960
all of that, when Solomon prayed, he said, oh

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:05.400
God, please God, give me largeness of heart.

00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:11.460
Enlarge my heart. Give me the capacity for what

00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:13.440
you want to do. Church, listen to me carefully

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:16.779
now. Look here at me. Every one of us need to

00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:20.440
have our parameters stretched. We have to have

00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.319
enlargement of the heart before we'll see a magnificent

00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:28.059
enlargement of this congregation. I'm not talking

00:31:28.059 --> 00:31:30.279
about just buildings. I'm talking about the building

00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.220
that God is building. And God's far more interested

00:31:33.220 --> 00:31:35.900
in building big people than he is big churches.

00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:38.759
I'm talking about buildings. You understand?

00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:42.039
You are the church and he's building you. Now

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:44.769
here's what he said. Start singing. Because you're

00:31:44.769 --> 00:31:46.990
going to get pregnant and you're going to break

00:31:46.990 --> 00:31:49.829
out on the right hand and on the left. And he

00:31:49.829 --> 00:31:53.069
said, enlarge the place of your tent. Esther

00:31:53.069 --> 00:31:56.349
said, or Mordecai said to Esther, look, in chapter

00:31:56.349 --> 00:31:59.529
4, verse 14, he said, listen, if you don't come

00:31:59.529 --> 00:32:03.569
through now, sister, if you don't produce, if

00:32:03.569 --> 00:32:07.950
you don't do what God called you to do, enlargement

00:32:07.950 --> 00:32:12.000
will come from another place. The word there

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.619
in the Hebrew is not only enlargement, it's respiration.

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:18.019
It means breath. It means we got the noose around

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:20.599
our neck. You see, old Haman had the rope already

00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:24.039
around the neck of a nation, but God put Esther

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:26.440
there for that moment. Do you understand? And

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:29.619
Mordecai said, this is your day, honey. If you

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:31.720
don't do it, God's going to have to do it some

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:33.759
other way, but he'll get it done. Enlargement

00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:37.490
will come. enlargement will come. Listen to me.

00:32:37.789 --> 00:32:40.549
Enlargement will come. This church is a living

00:32:40.549 --> 00:32:45.269
organism. Amen. Now then, he said, we are no

00:32:45.269 --> 00:32:48.230
longer strangers, Paul said in Ephesians 2, verse

00:32:48.230 --> 00:32:51.490
19, and we're not foreigners, we're not strangers,

00:32:51.809 --> 00:32:54.849
we're not foreigners, but we are heirs of God

00:32:54.849 --> 00:32:57.710
and joint heirs with Christ and we are built

00:32:57.710 --> 00:33:01.210
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets

00:33:01.210 --> 00:33:05.390
with Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone

00:33:05.390 --> 00:33:11.369
in whom the building fitly framed together groweth,

00:33:11.369 --> 00:33:15.240
say groweth. And that means it's alive. That

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:18.859
means it's coming up. It means it's reproducing.

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:23.819
It means it is replicating. And every one of

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:26.880
you are agents of growth. Every one of you are

00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:30.579
agents of production. Every one of you are called

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:33.180
of God, not only to birth people into the kingdom

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:36.079
of God, but to bring them to spiritual maturity.

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:40.220
Everyone in this house is destined of God to

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:45.940
be a discipler. I hope you hear me. You say,

00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:48.799
well, no, I come here and I pay my tithes and

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:52.059
Brother Brad's a preacher. Let him preach. No,

00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:54.880
Brother Brad's here to get you going in the way

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.299
you should be going. He's here to stoke your

00:33:57.299 --> 00:33:59.640
fire. He's here to give you fuel. He's here to

00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:03.619
give you material. But your business is to infiltrate

00:34:03.619 --> 00:34:06.859
your community and your business is to absolutely

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.920
not only infiltrate your community, but you are

00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.579
there to be influential in that community, and

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:18.179
you're to bring people to birth into the kingdom

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:21.099
of God. You're a full -time ambassador of the

00:34:21.099 --> 00:34:24.119
kingdom of God. You are a full -time representative.

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:27.579
You are a discipler. Jesus Christ did not call

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:29.960
us to go into all the world and build buildings.

00:34:30.179 --> 00:34:33.059
He called us to go out in the world and disciple

00:34:33.059 --> 00:34:36.679
nations, not just people, but nations. We're

00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:38.829
going to nations. We are going to nations. We

00:34:38.829 --> 00:34:41.550
have been to nations. God's calling us to nations,

00:34:41.630 --> 00:34:44.409
to leaders of nations. We've got invitations

00:34:44.409 --> 00:34:47.429
now that are pending to go before men of renown.

00:34:47.550 --> 00:34:50.829
One of our young men I was mentoring, God just

00:34:50.829 --> 00:34:52.750
sovereignly put him there. He was there with

00:34:52.750 --> 00:34:55.630
my son in Pakistan a few years ago, and they

00:34:55.630 --> 00:34:57.429
went through chaos, as you know, and they've

00:34:57.429 --> 00:35:00.210
had revolution and change of government and all

00:35:00.210 --> 00:35:03.210
of that, but the seeds are there. And I just

00:35:03.210 --> 00:35:05.150
got an email from him this week. He said, Brother

00:35:05.150 --> 00:35:07.750
Moses, I just want to to tell you the seed that

00:35:07.750 --> 00:35:10.710
was planted by Marcus a few years ago. Our son

00:35:10.710 --> 00:35:13.230
in Pakistan is starting to bloom. He said, I

00:35:13.230 --> 00:35:16.030
had three and a half hours this week with the

00:35:16.030 --> 00:35:19.989
president of Pakistan, Musharraf, and he wants

00:35:19.989 --> 00:35:23.110
us to build a center here in Pakistan. And he

00:35:23.110 --> 00:35:25.389
said, I've already told him if we do, we're going

00:35:25.389 --> 00:35:27.969
to have a center for the kingdom of God right

00:35:27.969 --> 00:35:30.769
in the middle of this business project. We're

00:35:30.769 --> 00:35:32.610
talking about a hundred million dollar business

00:35:32.610 --> 00:35:35.269
project, but in the middle of that is a center

00:35:35.269 --> 00:35:38.050
to tell people how to get right with God and

00:35:38.050 --> 00:35:41.190
to establish the kingdom of God in Pakistan.

00:35:42.469 --> 00:35:45.650
That's happening now. He went from Pakistan to

00:35:45.650 --> 00:35:47.650
Dubai and he said, we're coming back with a hundred

00:35:47.650 --> 00:35:52.550
million dollar check. God's taken the riches

00:35:52.550 --> 00:35:55.510
of these fat cats over there that are taking

00:35:55.510 --> 00:35:58.010
all of our money at the pump and he's going to

00:35:58.010 --> 00:36:07.219
turn it back into the kingdom of God. It's happening.

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:13.239
Enlargement must come. But let me tell you, enlargement

00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.800
can't come until we start pulling up some stakes.

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:19.079
And what God's doing here this morning, you better

00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.039
get ready for it. He's taking you out of your

00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.079
little comfort zone. He's shaking your little

00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:27.739
stick right now. And you're getting concerned

00:36:27.739 --> 00:36:30.239
because this old preacher come here and stirring

00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.440
up this place and going to jerk you out of your

00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:37.280
roots, out of your socket. Amen. But we're not

00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.659
just pulling you out of your socket to leave

00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:42.579
you out of your socket. We're going to socket

00:36:42.579 --> 00:36:46.760
to you. Hallelujah. And God has a plan for every

00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.860
one of you in his kingdom. And God said, I want

00:36:49.860 --> 00:36:51.599
you to enlarge the place of your dwelling. Now,

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.940
two things that have to happen. First of all,

00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:55.699
he said, I want you to strengthen your stakes.

00:36:56.489 --> 00:36:59.309
The stakes are every one of us. We're individual

00:36:59.309 --> 00:37:02.190
stakes in this thing. We're here to support the

00:37:02.190 --> 00:37:05.130
building of God. We are members of the body of

00:37:05.130 --> 00:37:08.030
Christ and God's planted us and placed us in

00:37:08.030 --> 00:37:10.369
our placements. When we had presbytery here,

00:37:10.489 --> 00:37:12.610
some of you folks were a little bit rattled and

00:37:12.610 --> 00:37:15.110
the strange and wonderful things God revealed

00:37:15.110 --> 00:37:18.949
to you. And then you also saw some things about

00:37:18.949 --> 00:37:21.329
your brothers and sisters you didn't know. And

00:37:21.329 --> 00:37:24.010
that's a refreshing thing, isn't it? Or a depressing

00:37:24.010 --> 00:37:28.519
thing, whatever. And God put you on a spot, but

00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:30.679
he didn't do that to embarrass you. God's not

00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:33.079
in the business of embarrassing us. He's in the

00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:35.559
business of embellishing us. And he wants us

00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:38.219
to know that we all have our placement in the

00:37:38.219 --> 00:37:40.480
body of Christ. And we're all important. Now,

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:43.869
you may not be a main... tent supporter out here

00:37:43.869 --> 00:37:46.170
in the middle, some big pillar, but you might

00:37:46.170 --> 00:37:49.269
be a small stake, just one stake holding down

00:37:49.269 --> 00:37:51.469
a corner. But let me tell you what, every one

00:37:51.469 --> 00:37:54.389
of those stakes are vital. Every one are important.

00:37:54.769 --> 00:37:57.929
Every one are strategic because if you get a

00:37:57.929 --> 00:38:00.349
bad stake here and a bad stake here, they may

00:38:00.349 --> 00:38:02.789
be small, but when the winds come, they'll start

00:38:02.789 --> 00:38:05.329
ripping up at this corner and they'll take the

00:38:05.329 --> 00:38:07.869
whole tent. I don't care how strong those main

00:38:07.869 --> 00:38:10.190
pillars are if these little ones aren't holding

00:38:10.190 --> 00:38:12.969
their own right down here. understand, every

00:38:12.969 --> 00:38:16.409
one of you are vital to the strength and to the

00:38:16.409 --> 00:38:20.090
unity and security of this body. And so the Lord

00:38:20.090 --> 00:38:22.849
says, now, first of all, enlarge the place of

00:38:22.849 --> 00:38:26.010
your tent, get stretched out, get out of your

00:38:26.010 --> 00:38:28.010
comfort zone. God said, I'm going to pull you

00:38:28.010 --> 00:38:30.929
out of those, out of those sockets. And I'm going

00:38:30.929 --> 00:38:33.570
to investigate you and I'm going to examine you.

00:38:33.630 --> 00:38:35.469
Now the Lord's not going to throw you in the

00:38:35.469 --> 00:38:38.170
heap and say, you're no good. No. He said, if

00:38:38.170 --> 00:38:39.949
you got a little rot on you, if you got a little

00:38:39.949 --> 00:38:43.809
termite trouble, Some folks do. They've been

00:38:43.809 --> 00:38:47.809
in the way so long. You know, some folks, you

00:38:47.809 --> 00:38:50.650
can't move them. They're immovable. They feel

00:38:50.650 --> 00:38:52.650
like they're planted forever and where they are,

00:38:52.730 --> 00:38:59.710
and that's it. Surprise. Yeah, I thought we were

00:38:59.710 --> 00:39:03.170
planted too. We pastored for 27 years. I pastored

00:39:03.170 --> 00:39:08.079
long enough to be pasteurized. 27 years in one

00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:11.079
place, eight years before that, so 35 years.

00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.159
I mean, come on. What a wonderful, cozy feeling

00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.079
that was. Church is paid for. God's given us

00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:18.980
revival. The biggest revival we ever had was

00:39:18.980 --> 00:39:21.119
the last year we were there. I said, Lord, what

00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.239
in the world are you doing sending me away now?

00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:25.619
We've been praying and seeking God for years

00:39:25.619 --> 00:39:27.639
for this to happen. Now it's happening, and now

00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:34.739
you're telling me to go into all the world? I

00:39:34.739 --> 00:39:36.679
could tell you more about that, but I don't want

00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:39.179
to go there. I just want to show you how faithful

00:39:39.179 --> 00:39:42.900
God is. But he takes us out of our comfort zones,

00:39:43.019 --> 00:39:46.099
and then he takes that stake that may be a little

00:39:46.099 --> 00:39:50.139
dull and may be a little blunt, and he causes

00:39:50.139 --> 00:39:54.579
one of your favorite friends to come and sharpen

00:39:54.579 --> 00:39:59.800
you, grind on you a little bit until you get

00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:05.840
the point. Then he has one of the elders come

00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:07.800
along and wrap a little band around your head

00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.860
so you don't get smashed and split when the hammer

00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:14.099
comes down on you, when God puts you where you

00:40:14.099 --> 00:40:17.559
really belong. Okay? We're all going to be pulled,

00:40:17.699 --> 00:40:19.480
folks. You better get ready because you're not

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.159
going to be the same. You're not going to be

00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.659
in the same old socket. You say, well, I don't

00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:27.559
like that. I'm getting out of here. Well, it

00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:29.559
would be a good time to go because God's not

00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:33.280
going to let you settle where you are. But don't

00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:37.219
you be going because God, you know, God fixes

00:40:37.219 --> 00:40:41.179
a fix to fix us. And if we try to fix the fix

00:40:41.179 --> 00:40:43.440
before we're fixed, he'll just have to fix another

00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:46.360
fix to fix us because he's going to get us fixed.

00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:53.579
Amen. So don't be trying to run. You can't hide

00:40:53.579 --> 00:40:57.079
from him. God has a place for you. God has a

00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.639
designated area for you. And every one of you

00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.039
are vital. Every one of you are important. And

00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:07.000
he wants you, listen, he wants every stake to

00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.639
be strong. That's why he says, make your own

00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:14.079
calling and election sure. You've got to know,

00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.380
praise God. I'm going to stay with it this time.

00:41:16.579 --> 00:41:22.880
Praise God. He said, you make your calling and

00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:24.679
election. We got another church, another meeting

00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:27.630
coming on here. I just, that's just my introduction.

00:41:27.909 --> 00:41:33.130
Anyhow, God's calling for new commitment, new

00:41:33.130 --> 00:41:35.989
commitment. The word commitment's a powerful

00:41:35.989 --> 00:41:39.030
word. In the Greek, the word commitment literally

00:41:39.030 --> 00:41:43.250
means to suture, like you tie together a wound,

00:41:43.369 --> 00:41:49.190
like a physician sutures up a wound. Okay, did

00:41:49.190 --> 00:41:52.289
you get it? Commitment. It means tied together.

00:41:52.929 --> 00:41:56.800
It means sewed together. And it means if you're

00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:58.780
properly sewed together, you're going to grow

00:41:58.780 --> 00:42:02.340
together. Amen? So what we're talking about,

00:42:02.420 --> 00:42:05.380
new direction, new leadership. God's bringing

00:42:05.380 --> 00:42:08.539
into this body. I don't mean God's going to just

00:42:08.539 --> 00:42:11.300
import all kinds of wonderful talent, but God's

00:42:11.300 --> 00:42:15.260
going to raise up leadership here. Our son Marcus

00:42:15.260 --> 00:42:18.079
is the young man I was telling you about. God's

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:20.460
doing a miracle in his life every hour. It's

00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:24.570
just getting more glorious. But he's a part of

00:42:24.570 --> 00:42:29.349
the church in Post Falls, Idaho. And this church

00:42:29.349 --> 00:42:31.489
in Post Falls, maybe you've been there, I don't

00:42:31.489 --> 00:42:34.670
know, but Post Falls is really kind of no place.

00:42:35.449 --> 00:42:38.670
You know, 10 ,000 people in that town, but here

00:42:38.670 --> 00:42:40.690
they have a church that has grown in the last

00:42:40.690 --> 00:42:45.829
seven years from four people to averaging over

00:42:45.829 --> 00:42:51.570
6 ,500 people every week. They have five services.

00:42:52.570 --> 00:42:55.570
But the strength of this church is not just numeric.

00:42:55.590 --> 00:42:58.289
The strength of this church, which is so unique,

00:42:58.489 --> 00:43:01.869
is that almost every one of those people are

00:43:01.869 --> 00:43:06.369
being discipled. Over 6 ,100 of these people

00:43:06.369 --> 00:43:10.250
are in weekly home group meetings being discipled.

00:43:10.269 --> 00:43:12.769
And they're discipling, and they're splitting

00:43:12.769 --> 00:43:15.269
off these groups. My son started a group in his

00:43:15.269 --> 00:43:17.909
home. about three years ago, and now it's split

00:43:17.909 --> 00:43:20.349
four different ways. And all these are converts,

00:43:20.690 --> 00:43:22.590
neighbors getting saved, and they're starting

00:43:22.590 --> 00:43:25.869
their own home groups and expanding. And that

00:43:25.869 --> 00:43:27.969
church is growing by leaps and bounds. They had

00:43:27.969 --> 00:43:33.230
165, listen, 165 new families come into the church

00:43:33.230 --> 00:43:39.510
in one week. In a town of 10 ,000 people, they

00:43:39.510 --> 00:43:42.650
got a church that had almost 10 ,000 over Easter

00:43:42.650 --> 00:43:45.750
weekend. in their attendance, in their services.

00:43:46.809 --> 00:43:49.809
Baptizing by the hundreds. These people are doing

00:43:49.809 --> 00:43:53.050
it biblically. And the amazing thing is the pastor

00:43:53.050 --> 00:43:57.590
is the most undescript guy. Drives an old beat

00:43:57.590 --> 00:44:00.769
-up pickup truck with cowboy boots in the back.

00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:04.699
back in an old water jug, I got tickled. And

00:44:04.699 --> 00:44:07.699
he wears a farmer's shirt to church and he gets

00:44:07.699 --> 00:44:09.679
up and tells the church all these miraculous

00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:12.019
things that are happening. And the judges are

00:44:12.019 --> 00:44:14.599
there, the police chief's there, the editor of

00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:16.820
the newspaper sitting on the front row. I mean,

00:44:16.940 --> 00:44:19.820
everybody, there's anybody around that 50 mile

00:44:19.820 --> 00:44:22.000
radius are coming to that church. You're driving

00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:25.059
from Canada regularly to come down there an hour

00:44:25.059 --> 00:44:28.829
and a half away and to be in that service. And

00:44:28.829 --> 00:44:30.730
he stands up like he said, gee, I don't know

00:44:30.730 --> 00:44:32.469
what's happening. I really can't tell you how

00:44:32.469 --> 00:44:34.769
it all happened. I don't know. So I just come

00:44:34.769 --> 00:44:37.690
and obeyed God, come here, four people and exploded.

00:44:37.889 --> 00:44:40.369
And the thing is just growing by leaps and bounds.

00:44:40.469 --> 00:44:44.090
Why? Because they're building. And out of that

00:44:44.090 --> 00:44:47.789
congregation, they are shaping leadership. I

00:44:47.789 --> 00:44:50.570
was there two weeks ago and they ordained five

00:44:50.570 --> 00:44:54.489
pastors out of that congregation to be pastors,

00:44:54.710 --> 00:44:57.690
full -time pastors. who were raised in that church,

00:44:57.789 --> 00:45:00.590
who came in, was saved in the church, and one

00:45:00.590 --> 00:45:04.210
of them was the CEO of AT &T. The other guy was

00:45:04.210 --> 00:45:06.570
a mechanic. The other guy was something else.

00:45:06.650 --> 00:45:08.929
In other words, just ordinary people that God's

00:45:08.929 --> 00:45:11.449
transforming, and this is the pastoral staff.

00:45:11.550 --> 00:45:13.150
I don't know how many they have now on the staff,

00:45:13.250 --> 00:45:16.230
but it's growing, I think, about 85 now on staff.

00:45:16.489 --> 00:45:19.409
And they're just exploding, and they're reaching

00:45:19.409 --> 00:45:21.769
the community, but they're discipling people.

00:45:22.469 --> 00:45:25.929
That's what this 54th chapter says. Break out

00:45:25.929 --> 00:45:30.030
on every hand because your children will be discipled.

00:45:30.030 --> 00:45:33.449
Your children will be taught of the Lord. God

00:45:33.449 --> 00:45:35.710
said, I'll teach them. And that's a powerful

00:45:35.710 --> 00:45:38.070
thing. Now listen carefully. Here's what's happening.

00:45:38.349 --> 00:45:43.789
He said, enlarge your tent. Don't be bound by

00:45:43.789 --> 00:45:49.929
your previous landmarks or by your previous...

00:45:51.349 --> 00:45:55.030
lines of what you call your borders that you

00:45:55.030 --> 00:45:58.250
have prescribed. God said, I'm taking you outside

00:45:58.250 --> 00:46:03.349
of your prescribed borders or your own self -imposed

00:46:03.349 --> 00:46:06.010
limitations. I'm going to scratch you beyond

00:46:06.010 --> 00:46:09.070
that. Are you ready for that? Now, that enlargement

00:46:09.070 --> 00:46:12.550
has to come here in your heart. You cannot see

00:46:12.550 --> 00:46:15.389
the growth that God wants to give this building

00:46:15.389 --> 00:46:20.440
until we get uncomfortable. Amen. How many know

00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:23.800
that the Holy Ghost is our comforter? Right?

00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:31.199
How many know he's our discomforter? Oh, praise

00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:35.000
God. Has that ever happened to you? Here we're

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.460
seeing God teaching us some awesome things. I

00:46:38.460 --> 00:46:40.380
told the church last night, you know, we get

00:46:40.380 --> 00:46:43.880
so habit bound. We're so rigid. We do things

00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:46.519
by... by rote. We do things, and that's what

00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:48.579
I heard in the permitting last night. God doesn't

00:46:48.579 --> 00:46:51.460
want us to do things by rote. Well, let me tell

00:46:51.460 --> 00:46:53.840
you something I've discovered. If the horse is

00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:59.420
dead, dismount. I mean, don't try to keep beating

00:46:59.420 --> 00:47:03.039
on the same old brain dead project. If the thing

00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:07.219
is dead, move on to something else. Can you say

00:47:07.219 --> 00:47:10.590
amen? And God's stretching us. He's calling us

00:47:10.590 --> 00:47:13.269
to include many others that we never thought

00:47:13.269 --> 00:47:18.090
fit into our circle. How many remember the old

00:47:18.090 --> 00:47:21.590
saying, he drew a circle to keep me out? Heretic,

00:47:21.610 --> 00:47:25.389
radical, a thing to flout. But love and I had

00:47:25.389 --> 00:47:29.309
a will to win. We drew a circle and took him

00:47:29.309 --> 00:47:34.170
in. God wants to enlarge your circle. God wants

00:47:34.170 --> 00:47:36.900
to enlarge the sphere of your influence. and

00:47:36.900 --> 00:47:39.780
the radius of your reach. God wants you to go

00:47:39.780 --> 00:47:42.579
beyond wherever you've been. He wants you to

00:47:42.579 --> 00:47:46.539
lengthen your cords. Get your stakes down strong.

00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:51.159
God's going to plant people in this body. God's

00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:54.440
going to send you, pastor, men and women of God

00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:57.860
that are going to have the capacity for increase.

00:47:58.179 --> 00:48:00.880
And they've got faith, and they've got the means.

00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:03.559
They may not have the money, but all you need

00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:06.380
is one person that knows that person. Do you

00:48:06.380 --> 00:48:08.760
understand that you're only one person away from

00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:14.460
anybody in the world you want to meet? I don't

00:48:14.460 --> 00:48:16.559
need 10 people to introduce me to George Bush.

00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:21.619
I just need one person. And it could be the doorkeeper.

00:48:21.699 --> 00:48:27.119
It could be anybody that has access. Amen. Do

00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:31.179
you understand? God has mysterious ways of giving

00:48:31.179 --> 00:48:34.679
us contact with people. A Holy Ghost influence.

00:48:34.780 --> 00:48:38.099
People that will change the whole topography

00:48:38.099 --> 00:48:41.440
of what you're doing here. God wants to get your

00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:45.500
mind into a larger focus. And God wants to enlarge

00:48:45.500 --> 00:48:50.519
our hearts. He wants to give us enlargement.

00:48:50.889 --> 00:48:53.409
Now, two things are important. The stakes are

00:48:53.409 --> 00:48:56.289
very important. They're individuals that God

00:48:56.289 --> 00:48:58.869
has sharpened and God has placed and God has

00:48:58.869 --> 00:49:01.849
secured this house with. But there'll be more.

00:49:01.929 --> 00:49:03.250
If you're going to stretch out, you're going

00:49:03.250 --> 00:49:04.949
to need more stakes. You're going to need more

00:49:04.949 --> 00:49:08.110
territory. And your covering is a five -fold

00:49:08.110 --> 00:49:10.630
covering. God's increasing that covering. God's

00:49:10.630 --> 00:49:13.250
enlarging that. He's stretching that over you.

00:49:13.349 --> 00:49:15.909
It's going to be a marvelous place. For he said,

00:49:15.949 --> 00:49:18.670
in all of Mount Zion, there shall be a covering.

00:49:18.809 --> 00:49:21.199
There shall be a glory. There shall be an attendant

00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:27.539
glory. But then, he said, your cords. Strength

00:49:27.539 --> 00:49:30.920
has to come before length. You lengthen your

00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:33.480
cords. That means. Pastor, you're going into

00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:35.880
new territories for fellowship. You're going

00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:39.000
to meet people. I see this in the spirit. I don't

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:41.139
even understand where all you come from, but

00:49:41.139 --> 00:49:43.739
I feel God's going to bring you back into the

00:49:43.739 --> 00:49:46.460
Mennonite camp. He's going to put you back in

00:49:46.460 --> 00:49:48.400
connection. Some of them cords have been cut

00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:51.199
off and you feel totally cut off, but I believe

00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.500
God's going to restore relationships. I don't

00:49:53.500 --> 00:49:55.619
know how that's going to happen, but even old

00:49:55.619 --> 00:49:58.320
grandpa's going to come. Hallelujah. Get ready

00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:03.449
for it. Praise God. I don't believe God. I don't

00:50:03.449 --> 00:50:06.150
believe God wastes anything. He's an efficient

00:50:06.150 --> 00:50:08.969
God and he's put people in your life and your

00:50:08.969 --> 00:50:12.449
background and your contacts that are vital to

00:50:12.449 --> 00:50:16.219
you. And you may look at them in the flesh and

00:50:16.219 --> 00:50:18.780
say, oh, never, Lord. But let me tell you one

00:50:18.780 --> 00:50:21.280
thing. God will turn that thing around in a minute.

00:50:21.500 --> 00:50:24.360
God can do it beyond what you can imagine, ask,

00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:27.039
or think. Now, listen. Watch this. Chords going

00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:30.139
out. Chords. I stood in your study last night

00:50:30.139 --> 00:50:33.159
upstairs in that beautiful, beautiful home where

00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:36.650
I stayed. Such a pleasant place. And I'll tell

00:50:36.650 --> 00:50:38.969
you what. I looked at that map that you got on

00:50:38.969 --> 00:50:41.289
the mall. And I looked at the center of where

00:50:41.289 --> 00:50:43.849
this church is. And I don't even know the county

00:50:43.849 --> 00:50:45.889
names or whatever you have around you. But all

00:50:45.889 --> 00:50:48.090
these little bergs. But let me tell you something.

00:50:49.789 --> 00:50:52.630
I saw cords going out all over the place. Like

00:50:52.630 --> 00:50:55.489
a spider web. I saw them going out. And God's

00:50:55.489 --> 00:50:58.969
going to lengthen your cords. You've got to strengthen

00:50:58.969 --> 00:51:00.989
your stakes. Because your stakes have got to

00:51:00.989 --> 00:51:03.289
be able to stand the pull. God will pull you

00:51:03.289 --> 00:51:07.360
through if you can stand the pull. Come on, church.

00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.340
You know it's going to be a pull. But God's going

00:51:10.340 --> 00:51:12.840
to give us stability so that no matter what we

00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.079
latch on to, we're going to have strength and

00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:17.920
length. Amen? And we're going to break out on

00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:19.980
the right hand and on the left hand. And God

00:51:19.980 --> 00:51:23.880
said there's going to be increase. Hallelujah.

00:51:26.730 --> 00:51:29.750
You look at Ezekiel 37, sometime when you've

00:51:29.750 --> 00:51:32.090
got time, I won't try to preach it. That's a

00:51:32.090 --> 00:51:34.610
message in itself, but it's begging me to preach

00:51:34.610 --> 00:51:40.530
it. But look at that mess. Look at Ezekiel 37,

00:51:40.750 --> 00:51:43.329
bones scattered all over the dead bones, all

00:51:43.329 --> 00:51:45.449
over the valley. Where do these bones come from?

00:51:45.489 --> 00:51:48.449
These bones are an army. They're an army that

00:51:48.449 --> 00:51:52.469
has been decimated, an army that's been disintegrated,

00:51:52.489 --> 00:51:55.670
an army that's been... dissected and scattered

00:51:55.670 --> 00:51:57.809
all over the place. What brings them together?

00:51:58.010 --> 00:52:00.789
A word of the Lord, a prophetic word, a call.

00:52:00.989 --> 00:52:04.369
And God says, preach, prophesy to dead bones.

00:52:04.550 --> 00:52:10.769
Dead bones. I've met quite a few of them in my

00:52:10.769 --> 00:52:13.989
life. Boy, here's a whole valley full of them.

00:52:14.630 --> 00:52:17.869
Can these bones live again? God says to the prophet.

00:52:18.050 --> 00:52:20.750
And the prophet throws the ball back at God and

00:52:20.750 --> 00:52:24.019
said, it's in your court. You know, Lord. He

00:52:24.019 --> 00:52:25.659
said, yeah, I know, but I want you to know. Now

00:52:25.659 --> 00:52:28.500
you get back there and prophesy to them. Say,

00:52:28.619 --> 00:52:30.599
thus saith the Lord. Bones, hear the word of

00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:33.119
the Lord. And they came together. There was a

00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:35.719
great sound, a clatter, and every bone found

00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:38.800
its counterpart. You know, the neck bone was

00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:42.360
hooked up to the backbone, and the backbone got

00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:52.829
hooked up to the... At Pentecost, 120 stakes

00:52:52.829 --> 00:53:01.130
were tied to 3 ,000 cords. Somebody listen to

00:53:01.130 --> 00:53:08.789
me. 120 stakes on the day of Pentecost with fire

00:53:08.789 --> 00:53:17.469
coming out of their ears. Great flames of fire

00:53:17.469 --> 00:53:22.860
on their head. Speaking in other tongues. And

00:53:22.860 --> 00:53:28.880
these 120 were speaking 17 different dialects.

00:53:29.059 --> 00:53:32.039
They were not talking heavenly languages. These

00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:35.360
people were speaking known languages. Do you

00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:41.159
understand that? Amen. These people were speaking

00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:44.780
to all of Jerusalem and there were 17 distinct

00:53:44.780 --> 00:53:48.039
nationalities there. and they all heard them

00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:51.139
speak in their own colloquial expression. The

00:53:51.139 --> 00:53:52.980
Greek there is very powerful. And they heard

00:53:52.980 --> 00:53:55.659
them in their mother tongue, speaking like mama

00:53:55.659 --> 00:53:59.800
used to speak. And they were ignorant and unlearned

00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:03.239
fishermen, and whatever they were, peasants.

00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:05.760
But God filled them with the Holy Ghost, and

00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:10.159
120 stakes were driven there, and 3 ,000 cords

00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:15.030
were tied to these stakes in one day. And then

00:54:15.030 --> 00:54:17.949
the next day, 5 ,000. And the next day, 10 ,000.

00:54:18.030 --> 00:54:22.130
Until the church exponentially exploded all over

00:54:22.130 --> 00:54:26.050
Jerusalem. Now, can God do it again? Come on.

00:54:26.429 --> 00:54:29.329
We're celebrating 100 years since Azusa Street.

00:54:30.030 --> 00:54:31.909
If you'd have went to Azusa Street, there was

00:54:31.909 --> 00:54:34.449
nothing there but an old livery stable. Stinking,

00:54:34.449 --> 00:54:41.860
smelly, old warehouse. The main room in that

00:54:41.860 --> 00:54:43.780
building that they swept and cleaned out was

00:54:43.780 --> 00:54:47.880
20 feet by 30 feet. That was the size of that

00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:51.679
church. But out of that little stable, that's

00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:54.900
what it was, a livery stable and a building material

00:54:54.900 --> 00:54:59.539
warehouse. Out of that little stable, the gospel

00:54:59.539 --> 00:55:04.039
went all over the world and millions have received

00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:10.150
the Holy Ghost since that day. Does anybody know

00:55:10.150 --> 00:55:13.610
anything about our roots? Do you all realize

00:55:13.610 --> 00:55:17.269
what an awesome thing God did? And he used a

00:55:17.269 --> 00:55:21.389
one -eyed black brother. It's amazing. He said

00:55:21.389 --> 00:55:29.329
they had one eye, but he could see more. That's

00:55:29.329 --> 00:55:33.610
a little pun, but if you know the story. God

00:55:33.610 --> 00:55:37.360
did an awesome thing. And out of that revival

00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:39.500
that went for three and a half years, day and

00:55:39.500 --> 00:55:43.179
night, 24 -7, thousands received the Holy Ghost.

00:55:43.340 --> 00:55:46.480
And this was a seedbed that spread this gospel

00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:49.880
all over the world. Somebody said, oh, leave

00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:54.760
him alone. It'll blow over. It did. In every

00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:58.619
nation of the world today, God's moving by Spirit.

00:55:58.860 --> 00:56:02.260
All right? Now, here we are, and we're coming

00:56:02.260 --> 00:56:05.809
to a very important part. The thing of which

00:56:05.809 --> 00:56:10.389
I am a part is greater than the part I play.

00:56:11.829 --> 00:56:16.929
The thing of which I am a part is greater than

00:56:16.929 --> 00:56:21.969
the part I play. For where there is unity, there

00:56:21.969 --> 00:56:26.030
is the grounds for the miraculous. Now, he said

00:56:26.030 --> 00:56:31.010
start singing, church. Enlarge. Pull up your

00:56:31.010 --> 00:56:33.750
stakes, look at them, investigate them, make

00:56:33.750 --> 00:56:38.650
sure every one of you are committed. Amen? If

00:56:38.650 --> 00:56:41.090
the Lord jerks you out of your socket, so be

00:56:41.090 --> 00:56:44.369
it. He's not going to destroy you. He's going

00:56:44.369 --> 00:56:47.230
to embellish you. He's going to strengthen you.

00:56:47.449 --> 00:56:50.889
We have to strengthen those stakes. And then

00:56:50.889 --> 00:56:53.690
he says he's going to tie the cords to you. And

00:56:53.690 --> 00:56:55.949
I'm going to guarantee you, you're going to feel

00:56:55.949 --> 00:56:58.949
the pull. You think you've got problems now?

00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:01.079
What are you going to do when this thing busts

00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:06.940
loose and it's 24 seven? Come on. I mean, you're

00:57:06.940 --> 00:57:08.739
going to have to leave the haste. Just lay out

00:57:08.739 --> 00:57:11.260
there, brother, because they're going to be revival.

00:57:11.539 --> 00:57:13.320
You're going to be getting so many people saved

00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:15.559
and baptized. You're going to have to put a pound

00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:18.000
out here to get them all in there once. I'm telling

00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:21.360
you. God's going to bring revival in this community

00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:24.079
and in this place. If you're ready for it, if

00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:26.179
you believe in it, God's going to get people

00:57:26.179 --> 00:57:29.639
together that's going to reproduce very exponentially.

00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:32.900
We're going to see growth like we've never seen

00:57:32.900 --> 00:57:35.699
before. The church has that Post Falls, a little

00:57:35.699 --> 00:57:38.440
town of 10 ,000 people, folks. Let me tell you

00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:44.880
something. They have grown 247 % last year. How

00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:47.420
do you explain that? I don't know of another

00:57:47.420 --> 00:57:49.920
church in America that's growing at that per

00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:52.599
capita rate. There are big churches all around

00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:55.360
us. But I'm talking about exponentially. But

00:57:55.360 --> 00:57:57.940
these are not just people coming and joining

00:57:57.940 --> 00:58:00.760
a church. These are people being discipled and

00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:08.500
loving it. Amen. A little boy was walking with

00:58:08.500 --> 00:58:11.719
his pastor over in England in the big cathedrals

00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:13.280
over there. We'd been over there different places.

00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:18.000
And he was, the pastor was little boys walking

00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:19.579
along with the pastors, the pastor explaining

00:58:19.579 --> 00:58:24.239
this war memorial for those who died in service.

00:58:26.659 --> 00:58:28.880
And the little boy looked up at his pastor and

00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.440
said, what service, sir, morning or the evening

00:58:32.440 --> 00:58:41.659
service? God has called us to enlargement. Many

00:58:41.659 --> 00:58:44.159
of God's great leaders now are being tested now.

00:58:45.289 --> 00:58:47.929
We have never been through, ourselves, our family,

00:58:47.969 --> 00:58:49.710
have never been through a time of testing like

00:58:49.710 --> 00:58:53.170
we have in this last few months. What does that

00:58:53.170 --> 00:58:56.909
mean? God's forsaken us? Oh, no. No. We have

00:58:56.909 --> 00:58:59.530
seen the grace of God in such an awesome way.

00:59:00.309 --> 00:59:03.690
When our son was diagnosed two months ago, the

00:59:03.690 --> 00:59:06.210
doctor gave him two months to live, maybe three.

00:59:07.889 --> 00:59:11.909
What happened? He was making a presentation to

00:59:11.909 --> 00:59:15.539
the world leaders of missions. And he told me,

00:59:15.559 --> 00:59:18.380
he says, Dad, when I get up in the morning to

00:59:18.380 --> 00:59:21.780
make my presentation, I fought the powers of

00:59:21.780 --> 00:59:25.519
hell. God gave him a vision to reach these nations.

00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:29.360
Two things. One is called finishing the task.

00:59:29.579 --> 00:59:36.179
And that is getting the gospel to these unlanguaged

00:59:36.179 --> 00:59:38.559
people. In other words, oral transmission, okay?

00:59:38.980 --> 00:59:43.579
Discipling these nations. Nations. And the second

00:59:43.579 --> 00:59:46.519
vision was awesome. That was birthed in him over

00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:49.840
25 years ago. I remember it like the day it happened.

00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:52.579
And I told him, I said, Mark, write this down

00:59:52.579 --> 00:59:54.960
because this is going to happen. It's going to

00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:59.119
come to pass. And he got up with this vision

00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:06.239
of having massive concerts of prayer. Okay, that

01:00:06.239 --> 01:00:09.340
was his vision, prayer and worship. In every

01:00:09.340 --> 01:00:11.340
major city around the world. I'm talking about

01:00:11.340 --> 01:00:15.360
Hong Kong, Singapore. Everywhere. Wherever great

01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:18.780
people can gather. That was his vision. When

01:00:18.780 --> 01:00:23.440
he got up. To speak. He said dad something grabbed

01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:31.780
my throat. And he said try to choke me. I know

01:00:31.780 --> 01:00:35.880
he said it was demonic. But folks. he struggled

01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:38.239
through that presentation when he told this to

01:00:38.239 --> 01:00:40.579
the world leaders who are there from all over

01:00:40.579 --> 01:00:44.280
the world to hear this they were in tears weeping

01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:46.760
and crying they came to mark said mark this is

01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:49.260
the most powerful thing we've ever heard we are

01:00:49.260 --> 01:00:52.239
going to back you we're going to supply everything

01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:55.519
you need to get this job done but he went home

01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:58.980
and he couldn't sleep his breath was going away

01:00:58.980 --> 01:01:01.519
this thing was choking him he didn't know what

01:01:01.519 --> 01:01:05.289
it was doctors treated him for bronchitis for

01:01:05.289 --> 01:01:07.750
acid reflux and all of the things that doctors

01:01:07.750 --> 01:01:10.650
do for about two months until he couldn't hardly

01:01:10.650 --> 01:01:13.369
breathe. He was breathing through what he called

01:01:13.369 --> 01:01:15.849
a cocktail straw. He said, just that much air.

01:01:16.530 --> 01:01:19.550
His throat was closing right up. Finally, they

01:01:19.550 --> 01:01:21.710
went to a specialist and he run a tube down,

01:01:21.789 --> 01:01:23.849
a camera down his throat. He said, oh my goodness.

01:01:23.969 --> 01:01:26.769
He said, you have a massive tumor in your throat.

01:01:27.829 --> 01:01:31.389
They diagnosed it as cancer. When they put him

01:01:31.389 --> 01:01:33.449
through the MRI, I want you to hear this because

01:01:33.960 --> 01:01:36.340
This is something I've never heard in my life,

01:01:36.460 --> 01:01:39.760
nor had the doctors, because they told us this

01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:41.860
is one in millions. We'd never seen anything

01:01:41.860 --> 01:01:44.739
like this. When they came through the MRI, the

01:01:44.739 --> 01:01:48.199
MRI picture came back. It was so profound that

01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:50.820
these doctors, the oncologists, the chief guys

01:01:50.820 --> 01:01:55.539
in Southern California with UCI and all of the

01:01:55.539 --> 01:01:58.119
major medical places, they all shared the information

01:01:58.119 --> 01:02:01.260
on the Internet, and they showed the picture.

01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:05.539
He said it was like a little hand, like a woman's

01:02:05.539 --> 01:02:09.619
hand, a little tiny hand had reached around your

01:02:09.619 --> 01:02:12.780
vocal cords and grabbed them, and the thumb is

01:02:12.780 --> 01:02:15.980
pressing right on the cord to keep you from speaking.

01:02:18.440 --> 01:02:21.539
The doctor was shivering when he told it. He's

01:02:21.539 --> 01:02:23.320
a Jewish doctor. He don't know anything about

01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:27.039
demons, I don't think, but we do. And let me

01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:28.980
tell you, that demonic thing had grabbed his

01:02:28.980 --> 01:02:31.869
throat. And when the doctor told him that, he

01:02:31.869 --> 01:02:34.349
said, we can't operate because if we do, we have

01:02:34.349 --> 01:02:36.929
to take your whole voice box out. We're going

01:02:36.929 --> 01:02:41.510
to have to take your voice. Marcus said, oh,

01:02:41.530 --> 01:02:46.110
no, no. The doctor said, well, what else can

01:02:46.110 --> 01:02:48.909
we do? He said, well, he looked at the doctor,

01:02:48.929 --> 01:02:50.650
and he's about his age. He said, what would you

01:02:50.650 --> 01:02:53.289
do if it was your brother, if I was your brother?

01:02:53.849 --> 01:02:56.130
He said, well, I wouldn't operate. He said, I'd

01:02:56.130 --> 01:02:59.039
certainly go chemo. Mark said, well, whatever

01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:00.980
I have to do, don't cut it out. I'm needing my

01:03:00.980 --> 01:03:05.039
voice. God's given me a voice. Listen to me,

01:03:05.079 --> 01:03:08.659
friends. Three or four nights after he got home

01:03:08.659 --> 01:03:11.179
from the hospital, in the middle of the night,

01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:15.380
an evil spirit came. You may not believe in this.

01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:18.539
I don't know, but I do. I've been raised in the

01:03:18.539 --> 01:03:21.119
supernatural. I've wrestled with the powers of

01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:24.650
hell many, many nights. I know how. powerful

01:03:24.650 --> 01:03:27.150
and real they are, but also know the power in

01:03:27.150 --> 01:03:29.670
the name of Jesus, which is high above every

01:03:29.670 --> 01:03:33.710
name, every power. This demonic thing stood by

01:03:33.710 --> 01:03:36.230
his bed and he said, I woke up dad at three o

01:03:36.230 --> 01:03:38.809
'clock in the morning and I heard this soothing,

01:03:38.929 --> 01:03:43.190
subtle voice. It was a man's voice saying to

01:03:43.190 --> 01:03:48.989
me, if you will back off your project of reaching

01:03:48.989 --> 01:03:53.389
these nations and your project. of your concerts

01:03:53.389 --> 01:03:57.510
of prayer around the world, then we'll back off

01:03:57.510 --> 01:04:03.269
from you." And Marcus said, the Spirit of God

01:04:03.269 --> 01:04:08.769
came on me, and I said, no deal. And I rolled

01:04:08.769 --> 01:04:16.909
over and went to sleep. I spoke to him yesterday.

01:04:17.090 --> 01:04:21.440
He says, They told me that I'd had three months

01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:23.340
to live. They told me the trach would be in my

01:04:23.340 --> 01:04:28.360
throat till December. But he says, last week,

01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:30.480
the doctor called me and said, we can't explain

01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:33.360
this, but this thing is shrinking. Your voice

01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:36.000
is coming back perfect. You're breathing like

01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:38.460
normal, man. We're taking the trach out. The

01:04:38.460 --> 01:04:40.699
trach is out. And he said, Dad, yesterday, he

01:04:40.699 --> 01:04:42.599
said, it's almost healed. It's almost together.

01:04:42.860 --> 01:04:45.639
And he said, I feel wonderful. I feel strong.

01:04:45.860 --> 01:04:48.219
He's been working in the field and doing his

01:04:48.219 --> 01:04:51.519
ranch work around there and just loving it. He's

01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:53.619
got three wonderful children and all love Jesus.

01:04:54.900 --> 01:04:57.199
This little boy came up to him and said, Daddy.

01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:00.420
He said, I'll tell you what. He said, you're

01:05:00.420 --> 01:05:03.880
healed. Four years old. He said, he laid his

01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:05.980
hands on me. He said, I felt the power of God.

01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:09.480
They made signs and plastered them on the garage

01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:12.260
wall and said, daddy's healed. When you drive

01:05:12.260 --> 01:05:15.820
up there, it says it right on the wall. Daddy's

01:05:15.820 --> 01:05:19.840
healed. I'm talking about power. What's God fixing

01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:22.559
to do? I'll tell you what he's doing. He woke

01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:26.260
Mark up again and he said, son, and gave him

01:05:26.260 --> 01:05:29.309
a powerful prophetic word. You're going to reach

01:05:29.309 --> 01:05:31.670
the nations not with just concerts of prayer,

01:05:31.829 --> 01:05:35.389
but the miraculous. We're coming into a season

01:05:35.389 --> 01:05:38.969
of the miraculous. Signs and wonders. And he

01:05:38.969 --> 01:05:41.389
said, it's not going to be a one -man show. It's

01:05:41.389 --> 01:05:43.969
just going to be the power of God present to

01:05:43.969 --> 01:05:46.730
heal. And multitudes are going to be healed.

01:05:47.150 --> 01:05:50.809
Now, he said, sing, O barren. You that have been

01:05:50.809 --> 01:05:53.969
barren, I want you to start singing because enlargement

01:05:53.969 --> 01:05:57.190
is coming. Listen to me. And the end of that

01:05:57.190 --> 01:05:59.730
chapter, he said, no weapon formed against you

01:05:59.730 --> 01:06:03.469
will prosper. And every tongue that rises against

01:06:03.469 --> 01:06:06.130
you in judgment, you shall condemn. Now listen

01:06:06.130 --> 01:06:09.250
to me carefully. I'm not talking about physical,

01:06:09.409 --> 01:06:13.070
natural birthing now. We have prayed for multitudes

01:06:13.070 --> 01:06:16.409
who were barren physically. But I'm talking about

01:06:16.409 --> 01:06:19.829
spiritual birthing now. And every one of you

01:06:19.829 --> 01:06:22.550
in this house are destined by God to bear children,

01:06:22.869 --> 01:06:26.510
to bear fruit. to reproduce after your kind.

01:06:26.670 --> 01:06:30.469
Am I telling the truth? Amen. It's not the shepherd

01:06:30.469 --> 01:06:32.650
that has a sheep. It's the sheep that has a sheep.

01:06:33.409 --> 01:06:36.269
Amen. And we're going to produce after our kind.

01:06:36.389 --> 01:06:39.090
We're going to bring many into the kingdom of

01:06:39.090 --> 01:06:42.570
God. Amen. Are you a candidate for God to operate

01:06:42.570 --> 01:06:46.809
on you? How many would like an extreme makeover

01:06:46.809 --> 01:06:52.829
like Sarah had? You don't even know what I'm

01:06:52.829 --> 01:06:55.130
talking about, really, do you? I'm talking about

01:06:55.130 --> 01:06:58.489
awesome. I'm talking about God taking a 90 -year

01:06:58.489 --> 01:07:03.429
-old specimen and by all indications of her own

01:07:03.429 --> 01:07:08.570
estimate, she was dead. I mean, her plumbing

01:07:08.570 --> 01:07:15.530
was just completely not right. Her hormones had

01:07:15.530 --> 01:07:20.170
long fled away. But how many know God visited

01:07:20.170 --> 01:07:25.190
Sarah, brought her back into his salon, And gave

01:07:25.190 --> 01:07:29.389
her an extreme makeover. She not only become

01:07:29.389 --> 01:07:35.730
productive. And the old guy. Who also was dead.

01:07:36.769 --> 01:07:40.030
Who considered not the deadness of his own body.

01:07:40.409 --> 01:07:43.809
He was not weak in faith. But he was strong in

01:07:43.809 --> 01:07:47.949
faith. By faith Sarah herself also received strength.

01:07:48.510 --> 01:07:53.519
She became so gorgeous. That a king. Who could

01:07:53.519 --> 01:07:56.679
have had anybody selected her for his harem?

01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:04.460
It's in the Bible. I said, it's in the Bible.

01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:08.840
You got to read this. It's in the Bible. You

01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:13.639
talk about extreme makeover. Here's this gorgeous

01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:20.619
chick at 90 that a king wants to put in his number

01:08:20.619 --> 01:08:30.329
one. Spot in his harem list. God comes down in

01:08:30.329 --> 01:08:32.489
the night and says, you touched that woman and

01:08:32.489 --> 01:08:36.449
you're a dead man. Old Abimelech was scared to

01:08:36.449 --> 01:08:39.510
death. God had already locked up every woman's

01:08:39.510 --> 01:08:42.350
womb in the whole country. God put barrenness

01:08:42.350 --> 01:08:45.029
all over his whole domain. That's in the Bible,

01:08:45.130 --> 01:08:49.050
folks. The first major healing in the Bible.

01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:52.239
was the healing of a nation of barren people.

01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:56.539
I believe the great healing that's coming now,

01:08:56.579 --> 01:08:59.319
the last healing, will be the bride of Christ

01:08:59.319 --> 01:09:01.840
being healed of her barrenness. And we're going

01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:04.779
to see production like we've never seen before.

01:09:05.300 --> 01:09:07.119
We're going to see you getting your neighbor

01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:09.960
saved, the grocery lady saved, the guy on the

01:09:09.960 --> 01:09:12.220
airport. I mean, every day it happens. I see

01:09:12.220 --> 01:09:14.439
it all the time. I had one yesterday. This guy

01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:17.180
was just, oh, he's a... He's a big -time writer

01:09:17.180 --> 01:09:19.600
for the movies. I didn't know this guy. He looked

01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:23.500
like a drifter. I didn't know what he was. Dragging

01:09:23.500 --> 01:09:26.420
a guitar along with him. He's the guy that wrote

01:09:26.420 --> 01:09:30.579
the script for the Pirates. Big movie, whatever

01:09:30.579 --> 01:09:34.779
they're called. Who? Pirates of the Caribbean.

01:09:34.779 --> 01:09:37.779
I don't even know these guys. But anyhow, he's

01:09:37.779 --> 01:09:41.119
written many of these major scripts. Didn't look

01:09:41.119 --> 01:09:43.880
like nothing. I said, what about Jesus? Oh, he

01:09:43.880 --> 01:09:47.510
said, I love Jesus. He says, I'm just into this

01:09:47.510 --> 01:09:49.930
thing now. But he says, we get together with

01:09:49.930 --> 01:09:51.890
our friends and we read the Bible and we pray.

01:09:52.029 --> 01:09:55.149
Think about it. It's happening, folks, all over.

01:09:56.289 --> 01:09:58.270
It's happening. Did you hear me? It's happening

01:09:58.270 --> 01:10:00.189
all over. I could tell you on and on and on and

01:10:00.189 --> 01:10:02.810
on. But it's happening. And people living right

01:10:02.810 --> 01:10:05.649
next door to you are ready to be birthed into

01:10:05.649 --> 01:10:08.510
the kingdom of God. Now, what does God have to

01:10:08.510 --> 01:10:11.810
do? He has to do something in you. An extreme

01:10:11.810 --> 01:10:14.850
makeover. I want you to come real quickly. We

01:10:14.850 --> 01:10:20.270
got one minute. And all I want you to do is stand

01:10:20.270 --> 01:10:26.029
here and present yourself. Hallelujah. And if

01:10:26.029 --> 01:10:28.869
you'll come back to the next service, I'm so

01:10:28.869 --> 01:10:30.930
excited. I can't hardly wait to hear what I got

01:10:30.930 --> 01:10:35.890
to say. Because we're going to finish this. I

01:10:35.890 --> 01:10:39.229
believe. I believe we will. But right now, I

01:10:39.229 --> 01:10:42.600
want you to come up real close. Amen. Come on

01:10:42.600 --> 01:10:45.720
up close. That's right. I've had a bath and brushed

01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:48.100
my teeth. And I just want you to get real close

01:10:48.100 --> 01:10:50.420
because what God's going to do is we're going

01:10:50.420 --> 01:10:52.479
to touch somebody right on the shoulder. Just

01:10:52.479 --> 01:10:55.260
put your hand on somebody's shoulder beside you.

01:10:55.840 --> 01:10:58.300
And I'm going to pray for you. Now, listen to

01:10:58.300 --> 01:11:02.159
me. You just, listen, you know this. If you're

01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.340
a mama, you know, you just can't be a little

01:11:04.340 --> 01:11:08.460
bit pregnant. And if you're a dad, you also know

01:11:08.460 --> 01:11:10.579
that mama can't be just a little bit pregnant.

01:11:11.180 --> 01:11:13.680
In other words, it's real. When God brings that

01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:17.439
miraculous connection, when he overshadows you

01:11:17.439 --> 01:11:20.140
with the Holy Ghost, as he will this morning,

01:11:20.340 --> 01:11:22.619
you're going to go out of here a different person.

01:11:23.159 --> 01:11:25.880
You're going to recognize that you are part of

01:11:25.880 --> 01:11:30.020
a mighty construction job of God. You are in

01:11:30.020 --> 01:11:33.199
a part of enlargement. You are part of this enlargement.

01:11:33.380 --> 01:11:36.020
And God's going to set you in new territory.

01:11:36.810 --> 01:11:39.170
You get ready for it because God's going to place

01:11:39.170 --> 01:11:42.590
you in a strategic place. And maybe your place

01:11:42.590 --> 01:11:44.170
is where you're going to be. I don't know, but

01:11:44.170 --> 01:11:45.869
God's going to strengthen you where you are.

01:11:45.970 --> 01:11:48.350
If he wants to move you, he can move you. You're

01:11:48.350 --> 01:11:51.350
his, right? Anywhere he plants you. Let me tell

01:11:51.350 --> 01:11:54.529
you this right now. Any way God moves you is

01:11:54.529 --> 01:11:58.829
a promotion. Oh, you didn't really get that.

01:11:59.529 --> 01:12:02.029
You really didn't get that. I need to say it

01:12:02.029 --> 01:12:05.909
again. I said, any way God moves you is a promotion.

01:12:06.460 --> 01:12:08.880
When you get your pink slip, look for the blue

01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:14.600
one. When God gives you a move, He is not diminishing

01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:18.300
you. He's ever increasing you. The path of the

01:12:18.300 --> 01:12:20.880
just is like the shining light that shines more

01:12:20.880 --> 01:12:24.619
and more and more unto the perfect day. All right?

01:12:24.619 --> 01:12:28.199
Today, God's going to do a miracle. Amen. And

01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:31.239
you too, brother. Right back there. Praise God.

01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:34.600
The man in the blue shirt. What's your name?

01:12:36.260 --> 01:12:39.180
Ken, God has not forgotten his call on your life.

01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:42.420
You've got busy down through the years and done

01:12:42.420 --> 01:12:44.899
a lot of stuff. And you thought you were helping

01:12:44.899 --> 01:12:47.460
God out, but God's finally let you know. You

01:12:47.460 --> 01:12:49.479
come to a place in your life saying, God, there's

01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:53.140
not much left, but I want your will. Oh, you

01:12:53.140 --> 01:12:55.319
may have stuff. I'm not talking about stuff,

01:12:55.420 --> 01:12:58.100
stuff's available, but God has a purpose for

01:12:58.100 --> 01:13:00.619
you. And I'm going to speak to you, Ken, as one

01:13:00.619 --> 01:13:03.859
of this whole body. The gifts and the callings

01:13:03.859 --> 01:13:08.100
of God are without repentance. God's called some

01:13:08.100 --> 01:13:09.960
of you into mission work. God's called some of

01:13:09.960 --> 01:13:12.619
you to evangelism. God's called some of you to

01:13:12.619 --> 01:13:14.939
pastor churches. And you've been hiding in a

01:13:14.939 --> 01:13:16.859
stuff. You've been saying, gee, nobody knows.

01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:20.979
I'm not going to tell anybody. And I'm not going

01:13:20.979 --> 01:13:22.819
to tell everybody right now who you are, but

01:13:22.819 --> 01:13:25.920
I see you. And some of you are called into the

01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:27.659
mission field. And you're wondering, my God,

01:13:27.800 --> 01:13:29.800
how am I going to do it? How will I ever be able

01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:31.840
to support my family? How am I going to make

01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:34.699
it? Well, God said, you just trust me. Because

01:13:34.699 --> 01:13:37.420
where his finger points, his hand is going to

01:13:37.420 --> 01:13:40.239
supply. But the miracle's got to happen in your

01:13:40.239 --> 01:13:42.899
heart today. Are you ready to be stretched? Father,

01:13:43.180 --> 01:13:46.460
in Jesus' name, I lay my hands on these precious

01:13:46.460 --> 01:13:50.119
folks. And I pray right now the spirit of faith,

01:13:50.220 --> 01:13:53.079
the same faith that Sarah had when she left.

01:13:54.659 --> 01:13:59.399
start singing start singing Sarah start singing

01:13:59.399 --> 01:14:02.760
and start knitting booties hallelujah because

01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:05.060
miracles are going to happen get ready church

01:14:05.060 --> 01:14:07.560
you better be ready because revival is already

01:14:07.560 --> 01:14:10.199
decreed on this body and you're going to see

01:14:10.199 --> 01:14:12.439
hundreds and hundreds of young people coming

01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:14.779
And you're going to have to sit up with them

01:14:14.779 --> 01:14:17.000
in the night. And you're going to have to nurture

01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:18.859
them. You're going to have to coddle them. You're

01:14:18.859 --> 01:14:21.380
going to have to listen to their woes. And you're

01:14:21.380 --> 01:14:23.439
going to have to pray them through. And you're

01:14:23.439 --> 01:14:25.359
going to birth them and change their diapers

01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:28.399
and everything else. Because Jesus is sending

01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:31.260
babies into this house. Brand new born again

01:14:31.260 --> 01:14:33.220
children. And we're going to see them baptized

01:14:33.220 --> 01:14:36.560
by the scores. I say it by the word of the Lord.

01:14:36.819 --> 01:14:39.460
Enlargement has come. And you're going to have

01:14:39.460 --> 01:14:42.279
connections with people you've never connected

01:14:42.279 --> 01:14:45.020
with. Connected with before. Get ready for it.

01:14:45.619 --> 01:14:48.579
Hallelujah. Go ahead and say it. I'm pregnant.

01:14:49.619 --> 01:14:51.779
Good. Don't scare your husband, but go ahead

01:14:51.779 --> 01:14:54.760
and say it. Hallelujah. God bless you, Pastor.

01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:02.560
What a great word. Would you just tell the Lord

01:15:02.560 --> 01:15:05.579
we receive that and just thank Moses for a great

01:15:05.579 --> 01:15:12.750
word. Amen. Amen.
