I felt like this week there was 6 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:55,560 some answers, some that I've been searching for alone find 7 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,200 again myself. During my pastoral years, I 8 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:07,120 always said I had the morning watch messages always came to 9 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,600 me. You, that's my beautiful wife 10 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,280 back here. Between 3:00 and 6:00, the Lord 11 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,360 would wake me up and I'd go to the office and he. 12 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:25,200 Began to speak to me. Well, I've been waking up at 13 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:36,740 3:00, something that's not happened a lot lately, but it 14 00:01:36,740 --> 00:01:42,280 just the morning while I was praying, I said, Lord, if it's 15 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,360 what you want, you start being my alarm. 16 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,040 Just wake me up every morning at 3:00. 17 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,040 I've woke up this morning, I've went and spent my time in prayer 18 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,440 and I've been asking him for some things and I felt like. 19 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,720 He's. Brought some answers to me, 20 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:17,920 thank you Jesus. So tonight I've got a message 21 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,560 that was given me. It tells you how old it is. 22 00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:32,050 I don't know what year it is, Pastor, and I might be able to 23 00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:37,810 tell you, but one of my prayers was answered in that weekend I 24 00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:42,090 was asked to. I always had it in my mind that 25 00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:48,160 I wanted to team up with my son and preach. 26 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,640 Well, Sister McGee and I, we had taken a trip to her sister's 27 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,920 down in Kentucky. You can sit down y'all for a 28 00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,520 little bit. Don't want you stand. 29 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:07,320 And Brother Mitchell Ferguson had asked us to come to his 30 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,040 church and preach its anniversary services. 31 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,160 Well, he'd asked Brother Paul to preach in the afternoon. 32 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,280 I was preaching the morning. That made a all day thing of it. 33 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,280 He took, you know, dinner on the ground or dinner. 34 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,520 Anyway, Sister McGee, I was on her way from there and come to 35 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:40,240 the motel room. And I sit down at that desk, and 36 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,720 God begins. Put this message together. 37 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Now I'm going to preach it again. 38 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:58,000 Tonight may be different, It's old and it's new, but there was 39 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,800 something special about this message. 40 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,360 So when the God gave it to me, He told me to preach it wherever 41 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,600 I had the chance to preach it. Now, I don't know how many 42 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,560 different churches I've preached this then, but it's coming back 43 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,960 home. And I thought, you know what, we 44 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:25,160 got a whole new group of people. So tonight I'm going to 45 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:32,720 reinstitute it again because I feel like now the Lord, I wasn't 46 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,360 even questioning what I was going to preach. 47 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800 It seemed like that this just coming, it wouldn't leave. 48 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,640 And when I begin to look around at it, Brother short, I looked 49 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,400 at our day and the day that we live in and this sermon is so, 50 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:55,080 so real. Even today as there as then. 51 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,680 It was a stirring message and I still believe today it is. 52 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,200 So just preach with me tonight. I feel the Holy Ghost in this 53 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:13,080 place. You stand with me to the reading 54 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,640 of the word. I'm going to be turned to Saint 55 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Luke. Check chapter 19. 56 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Saint Luke chapter 19 very familiar and read the first 6 57 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,960 verses. And Jesus entered in and passed 58 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,640 through Jericho. And behold, there was a man 59 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:47,080 named Zacchaeus which was the chief among the publicans, and 60 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,880 he was rich. Everybody said he was rich and 61 00:05:51,880 --> 00:06:00,640 he sought to see Jesus who he was and could not for the press. 62 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:08,440 Everybody said the press because he was little of stature, and he 63 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:17,200 ran before, and he climbed into a Sycamore tree to see him, for 64 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:23,280 he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the 65 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:30,560 place, he looked up and saw him and said to him, Zacchaeus, make 66 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:38,400 haste and come down. For today I must abide to your 67 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,280 house. I'm going to turn over backward 68 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,600 a little bit. You know, different writers kind 69 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:55,080 of pick up a different thing about the message in Mark 10, 70 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:02,960 starting verse #46 and they came into Jericho, and he went out of 71 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,040 Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people. 72 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:20,320 Blind Bartimaeus Glory, son of Timaeus, set by the highway 73 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:26,560 side, begging. And when he had heard that it 74 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,240 was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, thou 75 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,400 son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he 76 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,720 should hold his peace. But he cried out the Moor a 77 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,160 great deal. Thou son of David, have mercy on 78 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,760 me. I like this part. 79 00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:04,160 And Jesus stood still. Have you ever made Jesus stand 80 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:11,600 still, and commanded him to be called? 81 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:19,800 And they called the blind man, saying unto him, Behold, be of 82 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:26,800 comfort, Rise he calleth thee. And he, casting away his 83 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,160 garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 84 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,559 And Jesus answered and said to him, What wilt thou that I 85 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,440 should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, 86 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,320 Lord, that I might receive my sight. 87 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,920 And Jesus said to him, Go thy way, thy faith had made thee 88 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,560 home. And immediately he received his 89 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:56,520 sight and follow Jesus in the way. 90 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,520 Heavenly Father, I feel your presence, and I know you're 91 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,320 beside me. I'm asking, Lord, that they will 92 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,520 not hear me, but let them hear your word tonight. 93 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,920 God. I'm only a container standing 94 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,080 here, God, emptying myself. Oh God. 95 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,600 Praying that you'll use this tonight, that you'll stir 96 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,880 tonight, this people you'll encourage, you'll bring back 97 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,880 enthusiasm, bring.

There's a cry of desperation 108 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,680 that's calling to every individual. 109 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,040 More people today is seeking after God. 110 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,520 You don't have to look for them. They look for you, man. 111 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,280 I'm thankful tonight for my dear wife, my my beautiful wife 112 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,680 that's sitting there on that back Pew that is stood by my 113 00:10:55,680 --> 00:11:03,160 side for over 60 years and in pastor and it was 24/7 almost 114 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,640 together. Kids weren't home when we moved 115 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,160 to the Parsonage when I became full time pastor and and it was 116 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,440 just a everyday thing running hospitals and doing things. 117 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,960 Hallelujah.

Hey man, but I want to preach to 119 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,160 you tonight about this because I think that God is doing 120 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,880 something in the midst. Of our church right now that 121 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:40,560 this points toward see because it's always noticed that he was 122 00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,520 in the press. He could not get to Jesus. 123 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,560 He couldn't see him.

It's always going to be in the. 127 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,200 Press. If you think you're going to do 128 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,400 it easy, I'm telling you right now it's not going to happen. 129 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,920 It's going to take a lot of prayer. 130 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,120 It's not just going to be a 5 minute prayer, but I found 131 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,480 myself the other day and I, I woke up at 3:00 and I was still 132 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,080 praying at 4:15 and I couldn't stop praying. 133 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,720 You know why?

Hallelujah, I want to tell you 137 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,840 something. Depression. 138 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:41,680 In my own words is this see the IT says that you know that 139 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:50,000 desperation is without care or danger, extreme, violent. 140 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:57,680 Or working when hope is dim. That's desperation, but I've got 141 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:03,720 my own desperation. I think that desperation in my 142 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,320 own words would be Lord, I thank you for what you. 143 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,920 Have done. But I am desperate for what you 144 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:19,320 can do. Oh, we tie God's hands so many 145 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,440 times. Oh Lord, that he can do 146 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,720 anything. Through Christ, which strengthen 147 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,440 us, we can do anything on the day of Pentecost, that great 148 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,960 power that he had, he passed down to the church. 149 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,000 And whatever we bind on earth or be bound in heaven, whatever we 150 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,160 loose on earth or be loosed in heaven, I'm going to tell you we 151 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,000 need to loosen some things in our territory and we need to 152 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,480 bind some things in our territory. 153 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,640 Hallelujah. I'm desperate for what I know he 154 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:02,280 can do Hallelujah. Oh, Jesus, I feel him in here. 155 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520 Thank you, Jesus. I want to tell you, there's 156 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400 always the throg and there's always the rabble and there was 157 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,440 always the multitudes. There's always going to be the 158 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,440 crowd. There's going to be those that's 159 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,080 going to try to discourage you and trouble you and your walk 160 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,680 with God. There's going to be others 161 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,760 that's going to try to make you change your mind and turn your 162 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,000 mind. You're away from God. 163 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,120 The world is vying your attention on every hand. 164 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,520 I don't care if you turn on the TV or you slip through Facebook. 165 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,840 What you do? The devil is vying for your 166 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,480 attention. It's there for the having. 167 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,720 Why can't the church be so desperate that we vie the 168 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,880 attention of the world? Draw it to the church. 169 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,920 Pray until the answer comes that God will bring him through the 170 00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:00,120 doors. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 171 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,320 I believe that we're living in the world today, that we have 172 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:12,680 tried to fit God into our schedules, but Jesus commanded 173 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:18,680 us to take up our cross instead. And follow him daily. 174 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,000 None of that fits into our schedule. 175 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,120 But we got to. It's got to be a everyday thing. 176 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,840 It's got to be a every night thing. 177 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,720 Come on. We got to do this thing every 178 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,840 day or it's not good enough. I don't know about you, but I 179 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,880 need him. Every day. 180 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,320 All day long, I need him. What a God. 181 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,040 We. Serve. 182 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:49,000 It's a daily walk. Haggai chapter 2 and verse 9 183 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,880 says the glory. Everybody said the glory. 184 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,720 Of this ladder house, everybody said ladder house. 185 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:03,200 Somebody say that to us shall be greater than the farmer, sayeth 186 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,320 the Lord of hosts. Come on, church. 187 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,600 I think we're sitting on our seats when we ought to be 188 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,840 standing. I think we're walking around the 189 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,720 church when we ought to be running around the church. 190 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,440 I think we're standing still when we ought to be jumping. 191 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,000 Come on, Hallelujah. We need to get this excitement 192 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,920 back in the church. Come on, you, you shouldn't have 193 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,280 to ask people to praise the Lord. 194 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,160 It ought to be something that when they come through the 195 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,640 church house doors they start praising because they feel it 196 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:49,920 and they can't keep from it. We've looked around at the 197 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:57,160 circumstances of our day rather than the God that we serve and 198 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,400 said. How? 199 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,400 Can we have revival? How can we have revival? 200 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,119 How's, how is revival going to come to us? 201 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:14,960 Yet Jeremiah 3227 it says, Behold, I am the Lord, the God 202 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,000 of all. Flesh. 203 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:22,640 Is there anything everybody said, anything too hard for me? 204 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,160 Oh, jeez, Revival don't come through our programs. 205 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,240 Well, now I said revival don't come through our programs. 206 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,920 I still remember. I still remember in the first 207 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,440 little church at Kingsburg we was getting ready to start 208 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,080 service. I won't forget this. 209 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,600 Or it had guitar in the hand. Raid lead songs raid, do 210 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,080 whatever it took. Young man come to our altar, 211 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,160 knelt down and he said I want to, I just want to find the 212 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,720 Lord. We prayed Amen without a song 213 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,600 ever been sung, and the Lord filled him with the Holy Ghost. 214 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,040 Five others, one right after another, God filled with the 215 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,760 Holy Ghost without a song being sung. 216 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,000 And the last one was a 76 year old man that sat on the back 217 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,440 Pew. Come on. 218 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,520 The doctors had told him not to get too excited, but I'm telling 219 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,600 you, he sat on the Pew and the Holy Ghost fell on him and he 220 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,480 received it. Come on, I'm telling you about 221 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,640 this excitement. Do we got it? 222 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,000 Rubs off of the old and the new and the middle. 223 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:48,240 Aged, but the Bob back there still got it. 224 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,400 I went back, hug his neck, buddy, and the first thing you 225 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,760 know, he was, he said about to slip right out of the Pew. 226 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,120 I'm talking about the Holy Ghost. 227 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,960 I'm talking about the. Power of God. 228 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,640 When you receive the Holy Ghost, you shall receive power. 229 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,200 See revival don't come through our programs. 230 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:25,680 A program I like this. A program is a prepackaged, 231 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:31,760 manageable, predictable reproduction of what worked once 232 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:39,000 for somebody, somewhere. I'm going to tell you, sometimes 233 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,080 we need to change things around a little bit. 234 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,720 Sometimes we just need to have a break out before church. 235 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,040 Sometimes we need to have a prayer line before church. 236 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,040 We used to do it all the time in the second church. 237 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,760 Come on, you know, you could see in people's kind of relaxed and 238 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,400 you know, not doing much and Lord it just say, hey, why don't 239 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,240 you just have prayer line? You know, there may be some 240 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,160 people in here that needs healing. 241 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,520 And they lined halfway around the church and we had prayer, 242 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,400 then preached. And guess what? 243 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,080 God moved in that there was some. 244 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,560 People healed in that. There was a lady that lived 245 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,400 right across the the right, across the church, right across 246 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,120 the road from the church. She came. 247 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:31,400 She had seven children. Found out she had cirrhosis of 248 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,480 the liver and it was she'd never drink. 249 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,160 It wasn't that and I didn't know this caused it. 250 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,480 They said multiple childbirths sometimes 'cause that and she 251 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,400 was carrying around cirrhosis of the liver. 252 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,800 So she was going every week and they was checking the enzymes, 253 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,840 adjusting her medicine. All of that. 254 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,840 One of those nights. But Freddie, you probably 255 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,800 remember it, sister. Christmas. 256 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,160 Come through that line. We. 257 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,320 Prayed for her. She didn't just shout all over 258 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,960 the place or nothing. Guess what? 259 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,600 The next day was her appointment with the doctor and she went 260 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,040 through his doors. He checked her out and he said 261 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,720 what happened to you? It's gone. 262 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,400 It's not there. You don't have it no more. 263 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,240 Come on. I'm telling you all it takes 264 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,960 some time is a little enthusiasm, say. 265 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,520 Hey, we're going to do this in the face of the enemy. 266 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,600 I claimed my victory before the enemy's got a chance. 267 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,600 Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost. 268 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:44,440 Smooth. Jesus, Hallelujah. 269 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,200 He's a healer. He can do it the first to 270 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,640 service. He can do it in the middle of 271 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,320 the service. He can do it. 272 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,840 The end. Whoo. 273 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,280 Glory. I want to tell you something. 274 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,440 Let's let's talk about Zacchaeus. 275 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:09,040 See, Zacchaeus was in a Sycamore tree, a coffin tree. 276 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,520 They build coffins out of it. Think about that. 277 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,400 He got up in a dead tree. But both. 278 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,920 There's something alive up there. 279 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,320 It was I want to tell you something. 280 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,400 I I. I've thought and I've prayed 281 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,440 about this, and I don't think that tree was there by chance, 282 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,840 but I believe there was a, a planting of that tree many years 283 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,160 ago, Brother Short, and there was angels sent to guard the sea 284 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,960 and make sure that it grew. And that church, I want to tell 285 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,080 you something. That seed began to grow. 286 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,480 And it grew to this place for this day, for a little guy that 287 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,920 was in the press and couldn't see Jesus. 288 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,640 And he said, I'm going to climb the Sycamore tree. 289 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,640 But Alex, I can see him to hey, your Bible said he was rich. 290 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,600 You know, he threw up. And I know my coat's over here. 291 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,240 I could just see him. He's he's taking that coat and 292 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,760 he's just throwing it. He said man, I got to see Jesus. 293 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,600 So he takes a $400.00 coat off and he shimmies up because he 294 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,000 wants to see Jesus. When you get desperate, you'll 295 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,480 do desperate things. If you want to see God, No, 296 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,080 you'll do desperate things just to see it happen. 297 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,720 If you've got family unsafe, you'll do something to see them 298 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:42,040 say. Hallelujah. 299 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,360 Oh. Jeez, my son, Dad said. 300 00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:50,280 Dad, are you up to this?

I had a heart. 303 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,640 Attack all the other stuff that went on 2 stints and you know 304 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:11,840 hey, it's 2 calves a blaze into the heart Heart attack this that 305 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,160 but guess what at the end of all of that they took me down and 306 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,760 run an echo. I want to tell you what God 307 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,240 does, said Boy. You fast past that with. 308 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,160 Flying colors.

Oh, oh, glory. 316 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,880 I know.

Mama had cancer of the breast. 329 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,560 He took it off that afternoon. My Mama was walking up and down 330 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,560 the hospital corridors. She's preaching, she's telling 331 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,560 everybody about Jesus, how good he is. 332 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,120 She came home the next. Day she was at our house 333 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:12,680 planting flowers outside. I'm telling you what God will do 334 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,160 when we really get desperate with him. 335 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,800 He'll move.

Glory Hallelujah, Zacchaeus 337 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,120 climbed up in that Sycamore tree. 338 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,760 He was. Bound, determined, he was going 339 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,160 to see the seed had been planted. 340 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,000 And now today the Lord had been guarding that seed all those 341 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,720 years just for this time. This tree's got to be for 342 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,360 Zacchaeus, because I'm coming this way and I'm planting him a 343 00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:01,720 tree so he can see me. He's short, he's in the press, 344 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,520 he can't get around. People and he's rich, but today 345 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:15,480 he said I got to see Jesus.

My family's heard about it. 352 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,360 If it's still all these every time, it's time to let it out. 353 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,440 That can raise a little enthusiasm in here. 354 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,120 I ain't even told my wife. Well, she's heard the little 355 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,880 story way. Back about what's been going on, 356 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,880 he says.

Son. 359 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:14,200 When I was a little boy, 6-7 years old, I remember my daddy 360 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,560 was a Bible lover.

Now I'm going to tell you when 390 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,920 they prayed for somebody that oil on their hands are going to 391 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,600 be healed. I said, there's a little boy. 392 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,920 I said, dad, I like to have that. 393 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:23,940 He said, well, let's pray, pray. And the Lord brought that back 394 00:30:23,940 --> 00:30:27,820 to my memory. This week I'm desperate to get 395 00:30:27,820 --> 00:30:30,380 it again.

So every night when I go to 402 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,360 prayer, I finally get the place and. 403 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,360 See. I humbly bowed before him. 404 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,600 So I sit right down on the floor. 405 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,360 A little bitty old light I can turn on in there and it's just 406 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,320 like a little night light and it'll shine. 407 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,360 It's OK God, I'm petitioning you for that oil. 408 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,720 I want it mom and daddy had.

Before I end, it's going to 412 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,400 come. One of these nights, it's going 413 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,440 to happen.

It was annoying. 420 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:08,960 Store straight from heaven. I believe it's that oil the 421 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,440 brother Mason was talking about this morning. 422 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,560 There was none made lighted that wasn't allowed to make it. 423 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,040 There's only a few people, the priest that knew how to mix it 424 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,840 and put it together. Come on. 425 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,520 I'm talking about something there's only a few people can 426 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,880 put together and it's in our chart. 427 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,640 It's no, I'm not talking about just this building. 428 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,320 I'm talking it's in the Apostolic movement. 429 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:40,680 And we're not taking all of the whatever it takes to get it. 430 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,720 We're not. Being desperate enough to 431 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,720 receive it. Brother, you're a walking 432 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:53,760 miracle and don't you forget it.

But he found it to a Sycamore 440 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:30,400 tree and up he went. You know what I like about this 441 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,440 story? You know when you get? 442 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:40,720 Desperate enough, you notice that the Jesus seen him, said 443 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,080 Zacchaeus. Come on down. 444 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:49,480 He got a call. Jesus stopped in his tracks 445 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,400 because he was hollering at Jesus. 446 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,560 I want to stop Jesus in his tracks. 447 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,760 When when he. Hears the voice of somebody you 448 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:09,880 know that's reaching out to him. He'll stop him and he in his 449 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,000 tracks.

And right there, he'll fill them 464 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,480 with the Holy Ghost. We don't have to bring them to 465 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:17,360 the altar them. Sister Peterson, Second Church, 466 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:23,120 said none about the third Pew. Hello gal. 467 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,440 That night I loved her.

You can't hold it in it'll it'll 486 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:57,880 cause a breakout in the church. Zacus didn't care what anybody 487 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,880 thought about this rich guy throwing his jacket off and 488 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,960 climbing the tree. Think whatever you think, but 489 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:09,800 I'm getting my answer today. Hey, Jesus is I'm not only 490 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,440 seeing him, he's going to visit my home. 491 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,200 He's.

He walked in with care of other 495 00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:14,360 people that night, couldn't hardly walk in the church. 496 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,600 The next time the wife let him loose at the sidewalk and here 497 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,640 he come walking in without a cane or anything. 498 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,200 I'm telling you what God does when you get desperate with Him. 499 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,200 If you dare to climb the tree of desperation. 500 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,040 Desperation brought Jesus to his house. 501 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,960 Who cares? Hallelujah. 502 00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:52,520 See, what it was is He had the heart of a child. 503 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,160 I got to tickle Piper the other night. 504 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:02,000 Mama had her back here and down and down and she'd go. 505 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,520 She didn't care whether you liked it or not. 506 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,960 When a child cries, he don't care what you think. 507 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,280 And then now she'd do that. She'd just laugh. 508 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,560 She thought it's just the neatest thing she ever done. 509 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,320 I don't know about you, but I loved it. 510 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,880 Because she's starting to be a worshipper before she can even 511 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,840 talk. Don't tie these kids. 512 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,280 Down to the moon. Turn their Blues. 513 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,880 Let them worship. If they see you do it, they're 514 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:45,680 going to do it. Ain't been very long ago, I 515 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,240 asked. Somebody asked me, said can you 516 00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:54,760 still get that leg up there? So sure, I'm still get it up 517 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,800 there. If Daddy done it at 80 years 518 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:06,240 old, sure, I can do it at 77. What I'm telling you about God, 519 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:14,040 what he does now, would you let me change gears a little bit? 520 00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:21,680 I want to talk a little about. Blind Bartimaeus, he had the 521 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,880 heart of a child. He, he was hollering. 522 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,280 People said shut up. That's a master. 523 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,840 Come on, Jesus, thou son of David, quieting down. 524 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,680 This is the master. Jesus, the son of David. 525 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,520 He didn't care what they thought. 526 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,560 He didn't care who they was because he was desperate. 527 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,760 I want to, I want to go someplace because the shorten, 528 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,200 you know, I've studied and studied this over and over and 529 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:02,360 I've run references and I've read commentaries and I've read 530 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:10,600 all this stuff. I'm going to. 531 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,640 I'm going to let you in on a little secret. 532 00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,520 You can agree with me or disagree, I don't care, but I'm 533 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:23,160 going to believe what I believe. Commentaries all, they don't, 534 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:30,360 they kind of leave. But in World's Bible Handbook, 535 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,960 there is a story that struck me good. 536 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,920 He castaway his garment. The Bible said now understand 537 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,600 and and this is probably maybe different. 538 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,240 You've ever heard it, but I want you. 539 00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:47,000 I want to tell you what they said. 540 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:53,760 There are two class of beggars in the East, the true beggar who 541 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,160 usually is poor or physically handicapped and in need. 542 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:04,160 OK. And there's another class that 543 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:10,800 their physicians have told them, your only hope is God. 544 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:20,720 We can't help you. They tell him, say you need to 545 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:25,680 go and set someplace or go someplace until a man of God 546 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,040 passes by you and prays for you and you're here. 547 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,520 That's the only cure. Nah. 548 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,240 And there was three places that they went. 549 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,280 They went to the temple gate. They went to the pool of 550 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,720 Bethesda or they went by the roadside. 551 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,600 We know Bartimaeus, he went, he was by the side the road. 552 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,920 Now I want, I want to, I want to just kind of bring this on down. 553 00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:59,680 See, the sick beggar would wear a robe with which designed him 554 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:08,000 as one in need of physical help. Not always money, you hear me? 555 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:17,120 I I want you to grab this. He wore a robe that could have 556 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:24,760 been a prestigious robe. And from all indications, when I 557 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,880 read this story, in fact, he even says it. 558 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,600 And he said this was the beggar Bartimaeus. 559 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:41,240 He sat beside the roadside because he thought Jesus or some 560 00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:45,720 other man of God might come by and he'd be healed. 561 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,280 So he put on his garment that had just something to do with 562 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:59,040 his prestige, his mom and dad and those kind of beggars let. 563 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,080 Oh, yeah, I know. I don't want to bore you to 564 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,480 death, but I got to make you understand and. 565 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:23,990 He had his cup and he had his glasses and he had his cane, but 566 00:44:23,990 --> 00:44:28,390 he was by the wayside and he was begging. 567 00:44:28,990 --> 00:44:31,630 But what you've got to understand more than anything, 568 00:44:32,190 --> 00:44:34,790 and I want some people to grab this in this church. 569 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,760 Because he had prestige and all of that. 570 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,600 He was sitting there begging, but not for himself. 571 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:48,760 Anybody that put their money in his cup knew that he was going 572 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,000 to help somebody else. It wasn't for himself. 573 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,800 He didn't need the money, but somebody else needed the help. 574 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,080 So he said they're begging for somebody else. 575 00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:03,320 I wonder how many of us would sit and beg for somebody else to 576 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,400 get here. We're we're so thoughtful of 577 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,880 ourselves, but I wonder how many of us it's going to take it to 578 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,600 heart and pray till somebody. Else's answer? 579 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:18,520 Comes How about yourself? How about somebody in your 580 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:23,000 family? Oh Jesus. 581 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,440 Oh I feel the Holy Ghost. I'm trying to hurt y'all but 582 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,120 it's not working. I'll win it, that's for sure. 583 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,760 I'm going to win the bracket of the mission. 584 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:37,160 Come on. Oh Jesus, He was by the 585 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:45,120 roadside. The road My. 586 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,440 It was it was because he was blown to a prestigious family 587 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,000 come on. And when they gave to him, they 588 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,360 knew. That they wouldn't giving it to 589 00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,640 him, but somebody else. And when Jesus come by and call 590 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:07,640 to him, I don't know if you can get a picture of this or not. 591 00:46:19,420 --> 00:46:21,660 Come on, I feel the Holy Ghost in this place. 592 00:46:22,060 --> 00:46:26,540 He cast it all aside. Let me tell you, He was hooked 593 00:46:26,540 --> 00:46:30,060 to a prestigious family. But from this day forward, he's 594 00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:34,180 going to follow Jesus. I don't need your money. 595 00:46:34,540 --> 00:46:37,240 Come on. I don't need the glasses. 596 00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:43,360 I don't need the cane no more. All I need is Jesus. 597 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,480 I've got the healer. That's all I need. 598 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:57,960 He holds a cattle on 1000 hills and he he's praying like Kenny 599 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,320 Carpenter said. Just telling me God, I want my 600 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,120 cow now. Oh, Jesus. 601 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,640 I'm trying, y'all. I don't know how long I've been 602 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,160 up here. 0 minutes. So I'm done. 603 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:12,520 It's good. They knew you'd better turn it 604 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,160 on for me and be in the red all the time. 605 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,760 All right? Yeah, you did you notice 606 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,000 something, though? He castaway his garment before 607 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,840 he was. Healed right that's. 608 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:30,240 Good. That's right. 609 00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:31,160 That's good. Oh, you have little faith? 610 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,120 When's it going to be when we turn loose and say I believe you 611 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:46,720 and enough till I'm getting rid of it all, I'm going to tell you 612 00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:48,120 something. It works. 613 00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:52,640 But Freddie, when I quit my job to power plant, I was walking 614 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,080 down the Mill Bay one day and the Lord said it's time for you 615 00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:03,000 to leave here. Paul Poole told me the little 616 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,400 church we was riding home, there's probably 3 or 4 in the 617 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,160 morning and I just got up and changed my clothes and went to 618 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,240 work that day. He was talking to me. 619 00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:14,880 He said, OK, brother Paul. But McGee, I know you got a good 620 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,880 job, good benefits and all that. I know that. 621 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:23,080 But he said, don't ever let that job keep you from obeying God. 622 00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:25,600 And if. God's going to speak to you, 623 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,040 then turn loose of whatever. You have to to make it happen 624 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,960 when I was walking down that meal Bay that day. 625 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,440 Oh yeah. See this was after brother Paul 626 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,920 and sister Don at all they married Nate done decided that 627 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,280 they was going to go out on the evangelistic field and and they 628 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,280 were working to get their self there. 629 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,680 And the Lord said I called all the kids home on a Sunday. 630 00:48:53,240 --> 00:48:56,320 They sat out my table and I said I got something to tell you all 631 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,200 said this week I was walking down the Mill Bay at work and 632 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,120 said I want something come over me. 633 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,840 And he said you need to leave this place. 634 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,080 And you know what, in my heart I said you're me right now God. 635 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:14,880 And then let me tell you how how the enemy works to try to change 636 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,400 things. Our plant manager, in a few 637 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:26,600 days, he called me to his office and he said, I hear you're 638 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,640 leaving us. Said yes. 639 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:36,800 He said, I wish you wouldn't. I said, well, he said down here, 640 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,120 you're going to go pastor church. 641 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,120 I said, yeah, I'm pastor now, but they need me full time. 642 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,160 We hadn't talked about money, but Freddie, we hadn't sat down 643 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,880 and talked about nothing. Church going to give me. 644 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:52,800 They hadn't done nothing. But I knew I had to obey God. 645 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,160 I knew if I obeyed God, God's going to take care of my family. 646 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,320 Oh, Jesus. He said, you know, Paul, I can 647 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:11,320 give you a leave of absence and if it don't work, here we are, 648 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,720 38 years leave here, 38 years later, here we are. 649 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,480 I've never missed a payment. I've never done without bread on 650 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,960 the table. I've never done without healing. 651 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,440 I've never dealt without miracles. 652 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,480 God still moving. God. 653 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:52,670 Still God, Holly. He said no problem if you'd stay 654 00:50:53,830 --> 00:50:58,150 about 6 more months or so, there'll be a package come out 655 00:50:58,150 --> 00:51:02,430 and you could probably receive severance pay a $26,000. 656 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:13,360 And very seriously, and I said, I appreciate your offer and 657 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:18,600 everything you're doing, but God told me when I left this place 658 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,760 not to have no strings tied to it. 659 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:32,020 Come on, if you'll be obedient, God will take care of you. 660 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,360 I don't care how bleak it looks, God. 661 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:45,740 We'll take care of you.

Everybody signed their name when 665 00:51:56,140 --> 00:52:00,060 celebrated with me. My grandson Kevin was there with 666 00:52:00,060 --> 00:52:02,060 us. Sister McGee and I was there. 667 00:52:02,060 --> 00:52:03,940 And they had this big old party for us that day. 668 00:52:03,940 --> 00:52:10,680 I didn't have to work that day. They partied all day for me, got 669 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:18,520 paid for partying as we walking away from that. 670 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,080 Walk in the.

Thank you for my wife, Laura. 683 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,080 I found out, we found out the other day that really she's 684 00:53:53,080 --> 00:54:00,960 worse than we even know. Mr. McGee had another they run 685 00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:06,640 ACT on her and when we got the paperwork back said T9 and T10. 686 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:14,520 They just said T9 and I've been. Told. 687 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,600 That it usually runs in twos because of the way they're put 688 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,960 together. But they didn't tell us that. 689 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,120 Well, I'm telling you, God's going to take. 690 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:33,760 Care of it so. Bartimaeus, you know, he, he got 691 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,160 healed because of his desperate situation. 692 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:43,560 Oh Jesus, this got the attention of Jesus. 693 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:49,440 He stood still. I know man Hallelujah. 694 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:57,480 See when desperation cries out for revival and brings also the 695 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,400 old Sir Planner joke Jacob to my memory. 696 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,960 He got his way by trickery and by deception and all of that. 697 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:12,160 Yet when God really got a hold of his heart, when he really 698 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:17,480 began to change Jacob and he changed his name to Israel, he 699 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:25,040 wrestled with the Angel there, visited him, said an Angel, and 700 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,760 he wrestled all night until the Angel touched the hollow of his 701 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:35,360 thigh. And Jacob didn't start it, but 702 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:40,320 he won it. He got a name change. 703 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:45,920 Come on. And his name now means he who 704 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:52,360 rules as God. Oh, Jesus, there was a woman 705 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:58,480 with the issue of blood, and she came in the press just like 706 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:05,080 that, Just like just like Zacchaeus that climbed the tree. 707 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:11,520 He was in the press. But when she touched, when she 708 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:20,240 got desperate enough to touch the hymn man. 709 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:25,280 Somebody touch me. OK, Who touched me? 710 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,680 Man? You got a frog around you, 711 00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,480 Jesus, and you're saying who touched me? 712 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,680 He said I felt virtue go out. Let me tell you something, if 713 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,960 you touch the hem of his garment, you're going to be able 714 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,440 to virtue. You can be healed. 715 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:44,320 Just by touching a garment. You want to know why we lose? 716 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,520 Use handkerchiefs. Anointed, that's it. 717 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:55,160 Oh Jesus, I'm about to close till I ask a question or two to 718 00:56:55,160 --> 00:57:06,960 you. Some of you here have issues you 719 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,480 need to get rid of. All. 720 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:17,200 Right, you're not 100% yet. I don't think any of us is 100%. 721 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,840 We're working toward perfection, but God didn't ask him 722 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,040 perfection. He's asking you to try your 723 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:29,880 best. That's right. 724 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,880 Amen. Now I want, I'm, I'm saying this 725 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:43,640 in closing and Brother Mason or whoever can come see desperation 726 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:52,120 always leaves a mark. If you get desperate with God, 727 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,360 he may heal your body, but he'll leave a mark on it. 728 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:04,560 There is always something to remind you of where you came 729 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:10,840 from, that everything wasn't always hunky Dory, You know, as 730 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:18,000 they would say when I was a kid, you might got rid of your cane, 731 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,880 you might got rid of your garment, but there's still a 732 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,960 mark on you. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm coming too 733 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:33,120 close. See, desperation makes you do 734 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:41,680 things you never do before. See what it'll do and what we 735 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,440 need to do if we get in the press like that. 736 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,280 We need to worship a little longer. 737 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,280 I wonder what had happened.
