00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,400
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith. 

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,800
Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:22,600
Now enjoyed this message. 
I want to talk to you about 

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,000
hearing the voice of God. 
Okay. 

5
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,200
But I want to kind of put it at 
an angle that's going to help us

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,500
a little bit because Have you 
ever noticed that? 

7
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:36,300
It seems within the realm of the
church Bond? 

8
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,700
I'm talking to church folk, 
okay? 

9
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,400
I'm not talking to the Lost. 
I'm talking to church people. 

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,900
Tonight's message is for those 
who are born again. 

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,400
All right. 
Have you noticed that? 

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:54,000
If you get around people who are
born again, we are okay with not

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,500
hearing the same thing from God.
We're okay with it. 

14
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,500
We're okay with you hearing God 
something and me hearing God 

15
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,900
something and it may be 
different and we're okay with 

16
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:12,000
that. 
Now I'm going to tell you. 

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,700
There are some things in the 
world that we should not be okay

18
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:19,400
with that. 
It should not be okay, it's not 

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,700
okay for a born-again Believer, 
to say. 

20
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:27,200
It's okay, that you believe 
being filled with the Holy Ghost

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,700
with evidence of speaking in 
tongues is for you. 

22
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,200
But I don't, That's 
unacceptable. 

23
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,300
Because there are things that 
God is saying to his children 

24
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:46,900
that are not holding his 
children from benefits. 

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Things that are rights. 
They have the Holy Ghost 

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,700
responsibility. 
As the teacher is to teach all 

27
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,600
of God's children Kingdom 
truths. 

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,300
Period. 
So there are things again, it is

29
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:09,400
not okay for one believer, to 
say, well you believe that 

30
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,100
you're healed, but I believe 
that God puts sip sickness on 

31
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:18,000
us, that's unacceptable. 
And to make this statement. 

32
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,900
Well, it's okay to agree to 
disagree, is not acceptable 

33
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:29,300
because someone is agreeing to 
be rebellious to God's truth and

34
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:32,500
say God is saying something. 
He's not saying are you hearing 

35
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,100
me? 
So there are some things that 

36
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:42,200
the voice of God is not saying 
different to someone else but 

37
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000
tonight I'm going to show you 
when God is saying something 

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,400
different. 
Because we also develop an error

39
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,100
in thinking God will say the 
same thing concerning certain 

40
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:03,800
situations to everyone, and he 
does not his benefits to his 

41
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200
children. 
What is afforded to you as a 

42
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,200
believer? 
In Christ, he's saying the same 

43
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,200
thing. 
But situationally in your life, 

44
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,800
he may not say things. 
And we're going to see why he 

45
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,700
would say. 
One thing, to one person and one

46
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:24,800
to another. 
All right. 

47
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Now, in order for us to set this
up let's look at a few 

48
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,900
scriptures here. 
First Issa, let Matthew 11:15, 

49
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:34,500
okay? 
Because here's the thing guys, 

50
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:40,800
and Ladies as we continue down 
the path of the last of the last

51
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,800
days, Where there will be more 
and more people deceived and 

52
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,800
being deceived. 
And the love the Agape, the god 

53
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Kind of Love of Believers 
growing cold because of 

54
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,100
lawlessness. 
We're going to need to 

55
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,600
understand why certain Church 
groups are responding one way 

56
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:08,000
and some are responding another 
way and why God could have said 

57
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
that to that church. 
Okay? 

58
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Could have said that to that 
church. 

59
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800
Are you hearing me now? 
God is not saying again, to the,

60
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,500
to a church. 
You can't be healed. 

61
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,900
He's not saying that, he's not 
saying to a church. 

62
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,200
You can't walk in the joy of 
God. 

63
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,600
Casting all your cares and never
have anxiety or worry. 

64
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:38,400
He's never saying that. 
He's not telling a church. 

65
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,400
You worry about what's going on 
in the world. 

66
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:44,000
You guys don't worry. 
Right? 

67
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,400
Because when you learn that 
you're not supposed to worry, 

68
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,500
and that the Bible says to cast 
all your cares on the Lord, be 

69
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:55,400
anxious for. 
That is not for a select group, 

70
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,800
that is for the body of Christ. 
Healings for the body of Christ,

71
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,000
being in do with power, it being
baptized in the spirit, it is 

72
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,400
for the body of Christ, the body
of Christ is to grow up. 

73
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,800
Right? 
And we are to grow up in the 

74
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,500
things of God, okay? 
In Matthew chapter 11 verse 15, 

75
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,400
it says he who has ears to hear,
Let Him hear. 

76
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,200
Now, the key to, this verse is 
the word to because what he's 

77
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,800
not saying is he who has ears 
that hear It's not ears, that 

78
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:38,200
hear is ears to hear. 
To here. 

79
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,900
So what that tells us is that 
all of us in this room actually 

80
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:47,700
have ears, right? 
And that means when I'm 

81
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:52,900
communicating, whether through 
voice are through fingers, We 

82
00:05:52,900 --> 00:06:00,600
are hearing what I'm saying. 
But are you do you have ears to 

83
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,700
hear what I'm saying? 
You know, as well as I do. 

84
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:09,100
Many of us have gotten in 
situations or in places where a 

85
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:14,700
lot of things are being caught 
by our ears, but we're not tuned

86
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:17,700
into those things. 
A lot of times, we call it white

87
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:21,400
noise, you understand? 
I mean, I had, I'm really 

88
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:22,900
terrible at this. 
You know? 

89
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:26,100
If something's on the TV that 
I've gotten very zoned into, 

90
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:30,300
I'll have ears. 
To hear that movie. 

91
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,500
Which means then, when my wife 
has is talking to me and my ears

92
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:41,900
are hearing her, I do not have 
ears to hear her voice, but the 

93
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:48,800
movie that I am currently 
engrossed in, Right. 

94
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,800
And typically it begins to sound
like this because my wife will 

95
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,300
get my ears to hear, right? 
She'll say Earl. 

96
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,800
Earl Earl. 
Hey what right are you listening

97
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,200
to me? 
No, I was not. 

98
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,100
Now she may have been talking 
over the last 60 seconds and my 

99
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:13,000
ears heard her, but I didn't 
have an ear to hear her because 

100
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,500
I was too focused there. 
Now, how many of you done this? 

101
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:19,900
Because this has happened 
without even sound without even 

102
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:23,900
audible sound. 
Someone is talking to you and 

103
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:30,400
you're hearing them in your ears
but then you get a text and you 

104
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,700
open it up while they're 
talking. 

105
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,300
Come on now and you start to 
read that text and now you have 

106
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:43,400
no ears to hear the voice in the
room. 

107
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:49,100
But you're only hearing your own
voice inside your head, that is 

108
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:54,500
not audible, read the text and 
you have no ears to hear the 

109
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,700
actual Audible Voice in the room
anymore. 

110
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,600
Has that happened to anybody? 
Yeah happened to me while I was 

111
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,500
like, did you hear what I said? 
What, why are you reading that? 

112
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:09,000
I mean, I'm talking right? 
Sorry. 

113
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:13,300
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 
That was wrong of me. 

114
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:16,100
If the throw the Fallen across 
the room, right? 

115
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:18,400
Please don't text me when my 
wife's calling, that's what I'm 

116
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,100
asking. 
You talking to me. 

117
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,500
I'm just kidding. 
But you have to have ears to 

118
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,200
hear Right, was tells us then 
not everything. 

119
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:38,799
We're hearing is being received 
at his as it's being given in 

120
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,100
this room. 
We have quite a few pairs of 

121
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:44,700
ears, which means everything I 
speak tonight. 

122
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:48,600
We'll have an issue, not with 
what I say. 

123
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:54,100
But how you here? 
cuz how you here is going to be 

124
00:08:54,100 --> 00:09:01,400
filtered, Through you. 
And any given moment, if you 

125
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,900
ever get offended with me, then 
how you hear me preach? 

126
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:09,800
I've had people come in and they
never heard me preach before new

127
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,300
to the church. 
I preached a message, the Holy 

128
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:14,600
Ghost moves in their life. 
Like I've never heard this is 

129
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,300
most powerful thing, you know, 
it's like you were the best 

130
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,700
preacher on the face of Planet 
but then they stayed long enough

131
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:23,600
to get offended. 
Now, all of a sudden the same 

132
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,200
boys with the same Revelation 
the same anointing. 

133
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Is it received through those 
same ears the same way anymore 

134
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:33,400
or you are like God? 
It meant it. 

135
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,300
I hear God. 
I mean, God is spit. 

136
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:37,900
I Love The Way You Preach. 
I mean, it's so real. 

137
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
It's ministering to my life and 
then God gets to that section in

138
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,300
your life. 
You've never dealt with and it's

139
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,300
the same Revelation, same 
passion, and all of a sudden 

140
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:53,500
theyíre starting to lock up and 
say, I don't hear that, that 

141
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,200
means I can't be a victim 
anymore. 

142
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,500
That means, I can't hold on to 
my past anymore. 

143
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:01,200
That means I can't use that as 
an excuse anymore. 

144
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:09,200
So now, all of a sudden what we 
hear is different, somebody 

145
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,000
walking out so bad. 
I was such a powerful message, 

146
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,900
somebody else like they hate it.
You know, you know what he's 

147
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:19,200
talking about. 
Well, you don't know what you're

148
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,700
hearing about. 
See, I'm filtering through. 

149
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:26,800
Everyone's paradigm shift, if 
you have a paradigm that all 

150
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,500
pastors are there just to take 
your money than any time I 

151
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:31,700
preach about money. 
That's the only way you'll hear 

152
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:34,600
it. 
Tell me where you'll hear it 

153
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000
now, don't go stop me from 
preaching on it but that's the 

154
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,100
only way you hear it. 
If you ever abused by a pastor, 

155
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:44,500
That's the only way you hear it.
If you've only been abused by a 

156
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,300
father, anytime you hear, father
God, you'll think of him that 

157
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:53,900
way. 
So what I say is then, 

158
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:57,000
interpreted through your 
Paradigm, this is why Jesus 

159
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,100
said, repent, change your 
thinking. 

160
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,100
Quit allowing what I say to go 
through your mind. 

161
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:06,200
That way. 
That's why Jesus is Sermon on 

162
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,800
the Mount. 
Sounded like this, you've heard 

163
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,400
the ancient say, but I say to 
you you got it all wrong, the 

164
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,700
way you heard it. 
What in the right way to hear it

165
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,700
because you know what? 
You hurt and then he goes and 

166
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:22,200
throws things down. 
You heard Thou shalt not, but I 

167
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,300
say unto you, we started if it 
wasn't about you physically, not

168
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:28,600
doing something. 
It's about the motive of your 

169
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,200
heart, because if you already 
got in your heart, it's like 

170
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,900
you're done it and that's like 
crazy hearing. 

171
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,800
He for someone who's prided 
themselves to never have acted 

172
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,200
on but yet in their heart wants 
it all the time. 

173
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:48,000
Thus in there, physically are 
outwardly betraying, they're not

174
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,600
doing. 
This is why Jesus said to the 

175
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,400
Pharisees. 
You bunch of whitewashed tombs 

176
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,400
on the outside. 
You look all clean, but you full

177
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:01,100
of dead man, bone. 
Are you hearing me, okay? 

178
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,500
So he who has ears to hear. 
So you have to come in every 

179
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,500
time to service them be 
intentional, believe you me. 

180
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:12,300
I have to be intentional. 
I have to be in tension when I 

181
00:12:12,308 --> 00:12:14,800
study, but I have to definitely 
be intentional when I'm hearing.

182
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,700
Because when you preach as much 
as I have, and studied as much 

183
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:21,800
as I have and been in places as 
much as I have, you can sit down

184
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:27,700
and begin to hear. 
And if it doesn't come out a 

185
00:12:27,708 --> 00:12:31,400
way, you think it could come 
out, you could miss. 

186
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,600
And I will arrest myself. 
Nope. 

187
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,200
Nope. 
You're going to get something 

188
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,100
out of this. 
You're not here. 

189
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:43,100
Critiquing your not here. 
Try. 

190
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:44,700
You know, you're not you're all 
you. 

191
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:47,200
What? 
Just get give me a God. 

192
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,300
Give me a word. 
You got to keep yourself in 

193
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,300
these. 
These positions, you've got a 

194
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:59,900
rest yourself especially when 
you come across scriptures. 

195
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:05,700
That you've heard often. 
Our story. 

196
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000
You've heard again. 
And Kenneth E Hagin. 

197
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:12,900
He's told the same stories over 
and over and over and over. 

198
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:15,500
I mean you could quote some of 
them if you if you listen to his

199
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:18,500
ministry enough but if you don't
watch out the many, he goes to 

200
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,400
1, you can go and you no longer 
have ears to hear although your 

201
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,100
hearing So how do we know this 
is supported? 

202
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,800
If you go to a couple chapters 
over in Matthew, Matthew chapter

203
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,400
13, verses 18 to 23, let me just
read it real quick. 

204
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,300
You know, it hearing then here 
then the parable of the sower 

205
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,600
when anyone hears the word of 
the kingdom and does not 

206
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,400
understand it. 
The evil one comes and snatches 

207
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,800
away. 
What has been sown in his heart?

208
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,200
This is the one whom the seed 
was, sown beside the road and 

209
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,200
the one of on whom seed was sown
on the rocky places. 

210
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,500
This is the man who hears the 
word and immediately receives it

211
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:57,400
with joy yet. 
He has no root no firm root in 

212
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,100
himself, but his own is only 
temporary. 

213
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:03,200
And when Affliction or 
persecution arises because of 

214
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,500
the word immediately, he falls 
away. 

215
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,800
And the one on whom seed was 
sown among the Thorns, this is 

216
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,800
the man who hears the word and 
the worry of the world and the 

217
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,100
deceitfulness of wealth choke 
the word and it becomes 

218
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,700
unfruitful and the one on whom 
the seed was sown on the good 

219
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:23,700
Soul, this is the man who hears 
the word and understands it, who

220
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:25,900
indeed, And bears fruit and 
brings forth some, a 

221
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:28,800
hundredfold, some sixty, and 
some Thirty. 

222
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,700
So, again, what this tells us is
that this describes the 

223
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:39,600
condition of the man's heart by 
which he is the Paradigm by 

224
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,400
which he's hearing and notice 
the word brings persecution, 

225
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:53,800
write the word deliver sets you 
free, but persecution comes 

226
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,900
because of the word and if you 
don't get rooted in it, Then 

227
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:03,600
you'll allow the trouble and the
persecution to talk louder and 

228
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,000
you abandon it. 
Because you'll want to stay 

229
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,800
Associated to the problem 
instead of the word that gets 

230
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,400
you out of the problem. 
You'll abandon the word to try 

231
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,200
to get out of the problem, but 
that just means you'll get into 

232
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,200
more Perpetual problems and then
the one that's on a mug, the 

233
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,700
thrall Thorns. 
Here's a couple people. 

234
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:28,300
Here are the people who worry 
about everything, they're always

235
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:30,400
worried like how we gonna get an
actual eye. 

236
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,100
Every doesn't matter the words 
are that worry. 

237
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:38,000
Chokes. 
It out every dog on time and you

238
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,800
got it but you won't let it bear
fruit because a, how your 

239
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,500
hearing? 
Are you have, you know, the 

240
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:48,800
deceitfulness of wealth? 
Which in one sense the Bible 

241
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,100
says, is the lust of money that 
is the root of all evil. 

242
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,700
And so what it is is it's about 
making it on your own. 

243
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,300
And when you have a knesset 
selfish, ambition, When you hear

244
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:07,500
the word, you're always trying 
to manipulate the word to get 

245
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:10,700
you ahead. 
And it's unfruitful. 

246
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,400
It's unfruitful. 
I was talking with my creative 

247
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:18,100
team, not too long ago. 
I'm going to preach a message on

248
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:23,000
this but here's the thing, as 
long as selfish ambition is a 

249
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,400
part of you, you are always 
subject to deception. if you 

250
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:38,500
have any selfish ambition, you 
will be deceived. . 

251
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:46,000
Can't avoid it. 
Jesus, his greatest modeling to 

252
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,500
us was selflessness. 
This, why couldn't be deceived 

253
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,700
because his life was not his 
own. 

254
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,000
It wasn't about doing great 
works. 

255
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:02,400
It was not about being known as 
the greatest profit, it was 

256
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,099
never about that. 
It was only about only do the 

257
00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:13,300
will of my father. 
That's it will preach that at 

258
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:18,900
length, that's a nugget. 
So we see then it's how we here 

259
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,700
will determine things in our 
lives, okay? 

260
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:30,400
And if we do not allow the word 
to change this like the good 

261
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,900
soil, meaning we're going to 
yield to it. 

262
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,000
We're hearing it. 
We want to hear it. 

263
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,700
We want to be transformed by it.
Then any natural deficiencies 

264
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:47,900
are things that would hinder the
word from producing fruit, we 

265
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,300
get rid of it. 
We get rid of it when we 

266
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:56,000
realize, I gotta change the way 
I think about that. 

267
00:17:56,100 --> 00:18:00,300
Now that thought is actually 
against God's word that behavior

268
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:04,400
is actually against God's word 
that way of acting is against 

269
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,700
God's word. 
I'm gonna have to stop that I'm 

270
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:10,200
going to stop that. 
I'm going to yield to the word 

271
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:12,200
and let it produce that fruit in
my life. 

272
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:18,100
And if you do not do that, it 
will put you in positions where 

273
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,500
God will have to say something 
to you different. 

274
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:29,000
Look at Mark chapter 7 verse 6. 
It says this Mark chapter 7 

275
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,300
verse 6 says and he said to 
them, rightly did Isaiah 

276
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:35,000
prophesy of you Hypocrites, as 
it is written. 

277
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:41,600
These people honor me with their
lips, but their heart is far 

278
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:43,800
away from me, what? 
And when he says Hypocrites, 

279
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,700
he's talking to religious people
keepers of the law knowers of 

280
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:55,100
the word by word. 
But not in heart, so they hear 

281
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:58,700
the word but their life is not 
modeling. 

282
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:03,700
It's why Jesus told the crowd he
said, do what the Pharisees say?

283
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,300
Just don't do what they do. 
Don't model their lifestyle but 

284
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:12,700
model the words they say see 
they don't keep the words they 

285
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:15,000
say but the words they say is 
true. 

286
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:21,500
Okay. 
And the reason why the Pharisees

287
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:25,200
struggled is because they had 
selfish ambition, they had 

288
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,700
different motives So when they 
heard the word, they manipulate 

289
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:36,000
it to their situation and then 
they would modify the word. so 

290
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:45,600
that it would fit their cause 
And it made them unfruitful and 

291
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,800
the most targeted Group, by 
Jesus. 

292
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:51,200
The most targeted Group by 
Jesus. 

293
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:58,000
All right, so Jesus obviously 
again just in a type and Shadow 

294
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,300
we see then Jesus Christ had a 
word for the Pharisees but had a

295
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:08,800
word for the general crowd. 
Sounded different He didn't 

296
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,100
speak to him the same. 
Now, the promises and the 

297
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,600
blessings. 
And the, the the lifestyle of 

298
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,400
God's kingdom rain could be for 
both, but how he spoke to them 

299
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:25,200
were different based upon their 
hearing. 

300
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:33,400
And based upon the hearing they 
have and how they were living 

301
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:38,300
what they heard. 
Now turn over to Judges chapter 

302
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:41,900
6. 
I've ministered how this passage

303
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,600
in the realm of leadership 
before. 

304
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:49,700
I've focused primarily on Gideon
but today we're going to focus 

305
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:54,400
on the nation. 
All right, we're going to focus 

306
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,600
on the nation out of this. 
Passage of scripture, I have 

307
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,000
ministered of message called the
fearless leader becoming a 

308
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,500
fearless leader. 
Okay. 

309
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,800
But we're going to focus on the 
nation. 

310
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:08,100
And so here in Judges chapter 6 
to set context that says this, 

311
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:11,900
then the sons of Israel did what
was evil in the sight of the 

312
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:13,100
Lord. 
What did the Sons of Israel? 

313
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:17,200
Do some evil in the sight of the
Lord, the lord gave them gave 

314
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,600
them into the hands of the midi 
in seven years. 

315
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,200
Why did God give them into the 
hands of Medians for seven years

316
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,800
because they did Evil. 
Not did teach them a lesson. 

317
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:39,500
Not to test them. 
Okay, so we have clarity. 

318
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:44,000
Verse 2, the Power of the medium
prevailed against Israel because

319
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,100
of media and the sons of Israel 
made for themselves, the dens, 

320
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,800
which were in the mountains and 
the caves and the strong horse 

321
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,800
holds for. 
It was when Israel had sown that

322
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,600
the midianites would come up 
with the amalekites and the sons

323
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,600
of the East and go against them.
So they would Camp against them 

324
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,300
and destroy the produce of the 
earth as far as Gaza and leave, 

325
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:09,700
no sustenance in Israel. 
As well as no sheep ox or donkey

326
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:12,400
for, they would come up. 
With their Livestock in their 

327
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,400
tents and they would come in 
light, Locus for numbers, both 

328
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,800
day and their camels were 
innumerable, and they came into 

329
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,600
the land to devastated. 
So, Israel was brought very low 

330
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,000
because the medium and the sons 
of these are cry to the Lord 

331
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,900
while they do cry to the Lord. 
And now, it came about when the 

332
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:34,500
sons of Israel cried to the Lord
on account of minion that the 

333
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:38,100
Lord sent a prophet. 
All right, because again, in the

334
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:41,100
old Covenant, in order to hear 
the voice of God, it had to come

335
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:44,200
through someone because they 
were not born of God. 

336
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,600
They couldn't personally tap 
into the spirit of God speaking 

337
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,200
to them personally. 
God had to send someone so he 

338
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,000
sent a prophet. 
Now, when he sends a profit, 

339
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,600
this Prophet has God's voice. 
So in this context, you 

340
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,900
understand, when we talk like 
this, this is God speaking to 

341
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:04,600
them because in this 
dispensation this is how God 

342
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,300
spoke. 
So it's not a disadvantage. 

343
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:15,800
It's how God spoke. 
So when the prophet spoke it was

344
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:21,900
at, they had the Revelation. 
It's not like they did not 

345
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,500
understand, that's God. 
You got to understand this. 

346
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:28,500
This is not well, I don't know 
if I believe him. 

347
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:34,000
I mean, they knew that was the 
man of God and they were 

348
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,900
confronted with a word from God 
that at that point, they had to 

349
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:42,500
choose whether to yield to or 
not, okay? 

350
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:46,700
So the Lord sent a prophet to 
the sons of Israel and said to 

351
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:49,100
them, look what he said, thus 
says the Lord, the god of 

352
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:52,500
Israel. 
It was I who brought you up from

353
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:55,200
Egypt and brought you out of the
house of slavery. 

354
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,100
I've delivered you from the 
hands of the Egyptians. 

355
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:01,400
And from the hands of Your 
oppressors and dispossess them 

356
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,200
before you and gave you their 
land. 

357
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,800
And I say to you, I am the Lord 
your God. 

358
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:14,000
You shall not What Fear the gods
of the amorites in whose land 

359
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,000
you live. 
But But you have not obeyed me. 

360
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,400
And that was God's word to the 
nation. 

361
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:27,700
Now is this God's will for the 
nation? 

362
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:31,000
No, but it is God's word to the 
nation. 

363
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:33,600
And why is God got an issue with
a nation? 

364
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:40,100
They're doing evil. 
Right? 

365
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:43,600
Well, I they doing Evil Jesus. 
Tells the Lord tells at the end.

366
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,800
What is the last statement you 
have not obeyed me when you do 

367
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,400
not obey, God, guess what you're
doing? 

368
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,300
What did the Lord tell him? 
Do not fear the gods of the 

369
00:24:54,300 --> 00:25:01,500
amorites? 
But they, feared them meaning 

370
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,300
not like being afraid of prey, 
they worship them. 

371
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:12,700
They begin to honor them. 
They began to worship them 

372
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:16,500
instead of Hill. 
And that was evil in the sight 

373
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:19,100
of God. 
And he said, what? 

374
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,600
You've not obeyed me but now is 
it God's heart to deliver? 

375
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,600
Well, let's keep on reading, 
jump down to verse 12, then the 

376
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,600
angel of the Lord appeared to 
him and said to him, the Lord is

377
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,100
with you all violent. 
Valiant Warrior than Gideon said

378
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:37,200
to him, O My Lord, if the Lord 
is with us, why then has all 

379
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,600
this happened? 
And where are all his miracles, 

380
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,700
which our father told us about 
saying, did not the Lord bring 

381
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:48,400
us up from Egypt but now the 
Lord has abandoned us and given 

382
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,800
us into the hands handle Medium.
Now, you know what this tells 

383
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,700
us, this means midi Gideon 
didn't come to the prophet 

384
00:25:56,700 --> 00:26:04,300
meeting. because if he had been 
at the meeting where the Prophet

385
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:08,200
showed up, he would have known 
something else. 

386
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,600
But God Reveals His will. 
What's he say? 

387
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,700
He said the Lord looked at him, 
right? 

388
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:22,200
And said, go in this in this 
your strength and deliver Israel

389
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,100
from the hand of Minion have, I 
not sent you. 

390
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:29,600
Now, if you read the rest of the
chapter 6, we understand that 

391
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:34,100
Gideon's got his own problems. 
He's got his own challenges that

392
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:36,400
God has to deal with and then 
I'm not here to deal with 

393
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,700
Gideon, but Gideon deals with 
his problem. 

394
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,600
His problem is that he's afraid 
he's fearful and the Lord's 

395
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,200
having to drive fear from him. 
Meaning he got to let him know. 

396
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,800
You don't have to be afraid. 
Don't be afraid. 

397
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:56,500
I mean this is a recurring event
that God says throughout the 

398
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:59,600
whole Testament do not be 
afraid. 

399
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,200
Be strong and very courageous. 
Do not be and he's saying it in 

400
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,100
the New Covenant. 
Do not be afraid. 

401
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:09,200
Do not be afraid, Jesus, do not 
be afraid, yet. 

402
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:11,900
We get world events. 
Can place. 

403
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,200
Now is God telling some groups, 
you should be afraid of this. 

404
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:31,900
If God consistently says, do not
be afraid throughout scripture 

405
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,800
then. 
Will there ever be a time that a

406
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,900
group of his kids? 
He'll say you need to be afraid 

407
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:40,200
and other group, he'll say, 
don't be afraid. 

408
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,000
Nope. 
Now that doesn't mean there 

409
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,100
aren't those that are afraid And
being afraid. 

410
00:27:50,300 --> 00:27:53,700
Isn't a problem. 
If you'll deal with your fear 

411
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:58,500
being afraid is a problem, if 
you will not deal with your 

412
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:00,900
fear. 
That's the problem. 

413
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:04,700
How do we know? 
Because obviously Gideon goes 

414
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:09,900
through some tests starts to 
conquer fear, right? 

415
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,700
And then, he's like, I need to 
know that. 

416
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:16,300
I know, I heard God again and he
does the whole fleece thing. 

417
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:19,700
We don't do fleeces in the New 
Covenant because we have the 

418
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:23,200
Holy Ghost in us. 
Do not lay your rug outside like

419
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,000
Gideon. 
You have the third person of the

420
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000
godhead, you do not need to see 
a mat wet and the ground dry. 

421
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,800
The devil will accommodate those
signs for you in the New 

422
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,800
Covenant because that's being 
led by sight in the old 

423
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,500
Covenant. 
They had to have that in the New

424
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:45,100
Covenant. 
If you start doing that, you're 

425
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:47,100
subjecting yourself to 
deception. 

426
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,800
Lord, I just need a 
confirmation. 

427
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,200
If you can't get a confirmation 
in your spirit, you need to 

428
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,400
fine-tune being able to hear the
Holy Ghost. 

429
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,500
I won't tell you that God won't 
confirm it would natural things 

430
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,800
but I don't go around looking 
for the natural confirmation to 

431
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,500
confirm. 
My inner witness. 

432
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:08,800
I have the Holy Spirit on the 
inside. 

433
00:29:09,900 --> 00:29:16,900
And we are to be led by the not 
by some external sign to confirm

434
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:22,000
and internal hearing. 
But in Gideon's day he had to do

435
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,100
it. 
Then we get to verse 2, chapter 

436
00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:29,400
7 and chapter 7. 
Then obviously Gideon has done 

437
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,700
enough. 
That he has told the nation what

438
00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:37,600
God has said to him. 
How do we know this? 

439
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Because he assembles 32,000 
people 32,000 people get behind 

440
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:50,500
what Gideon said and you know 
what Gideon said, Gideon said 

441
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:55,500
the angel showed up at my place 
and it's what he told me and I 

442
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:57,200
honestly at first, I didn't 
believe it. 

443
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:04,300
But it was an angel and then he 
told me to do things and I did 

444
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:08,400
them and it worked and then just
to make sure before I got you 

445
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,100
guys involved, I'd had him DUIs 
on two different occasions to 

446
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:14,800
let everything. 
Be confirmed by two or three 

447
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,300
Witnesses. 
And I'm telling you right now, 

448
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,200
God is with me and he wants to 
deliver our nation like he did 

449
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:26,500
back with Egypt. 
And 32,000 people said, Okay. 

450
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,400
Now you said the Lord said to 
Gideon after these 32,000 show 

451
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,000
up. 
He said, the people who are 

452
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,100
with, you are too many for me to
give to the minion, a nice into 

453
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:41,300
their hands less Israel. 
Boast about themselves against 

454
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:45,900
me saying, my own hand has 
delivered me Right? 

455
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:53,400
So now Proclaim in the ears of 
the men saying, whoever is 

456
00:30:53,400 --> 00:31:00,000
fearful and trembling let him 
turn back and depart from Mal. 

457
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:09,400
Right. 
And 22,000. 22,000. 

458
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,800
A little more than two-thirds of
the men returned. 

459
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,900
But 10,000 right remained well 
what do we hear hear? 

460
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:21,700
What are we learning this? 
What do we learn? 

461
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:27,100
Why would God tell 22,000 people
go home? 

462
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,200
First of all fear will determine
what God says to you. 

463
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:39,700
Fear will determine what God 
says to you. 

464
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,700
Fearful people Mass Their Fear 
and pride. 

465
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,400
How do we know this? 
He said, if I give this many 

466
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,100
people, y'all go down there and 
take many a nights. 

467
00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:57,000
All I know where they are. 
I mean, God knew where then why 

468
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,900
did he tell to get him to ask 
the question? 

469
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:02,100
I mean, think about this just 
ask him if they're fearful and 

470
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:06,600
trembling. 
Because God and before that it 

471
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,500
says, if I take this group this 
group right here and they go 

472
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:15,400
down and I do the battle and 
Whip-It you know what they're 

473
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,700
going to say we did this. 
Look at us, we so bad. 

474
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:21,100
We so tough yet. 
All the while, they so scared. 

475
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:23,900
They're so scared. 
But you can't let you know 

476
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,800
they're scared. 
Can't let you know, they were 

477
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,000
scared out of their mind during 
the middle of the battle, they 

478
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,800
could let you know that they 
were freaking out the whole 

479
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,100
time. 
Because at the end, they got to 

480
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,400
come back and save face. 
They took, I make sure nobody 

481
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,900
didn't know. 
When they were actually hiding 

482
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:42,700
in the bushes head of being out 
in the battle. 

483
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,300
Yeah, we did it. 
Well, we did it. 

484
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:51,100
Yeah. 
Okay, Hallelujah, this is 

485
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:54,500
leadership. 
Do we have any leaders in here? 

486
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,100
Don't need believe followers, 
unless, let's, let's identify. 

487
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,700
So a person with fear May 
assemble though for the battle 

488
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:08,100
but will never go to battle now.
How do we know this David and 

489
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:12,300
Goliath? 
David and Goliath. 

490
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,700
David the shepherd boy he shows 
up there are soldiers bigger 

491
00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:19,600
than him stronger than him. 
Well more well-trained than him 

492
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,100
and he comes bringing lunch not 
dressed for battle. 

493
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,900
Dressed as a waiter. 
You just came out to field, 

494
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:32,500
right? 
And so he shows up and the 

495
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:39,800
mountain of the man's out there 
taunting Now, what does all of 

496
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:45,700
the nation of Israel? 
Have ears to hear. so they 

497
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:53,000
filter that message, not through
God's word, but through goliaths

498
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:02,900
word and their image of 
themselves, And it paralyzes 

499
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:05,900
them. 
I said it paralyzes them and he 

500
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:09,699
does this for days, David shows 
up. 

501
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:12,300
And he's like, who is this? 
Uncircumcised Philistine. 

502
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:14,800
See how he heard. 
He, who is this? 

503
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,800
Uncircumcised Philistine that 
with the FAA, the armies of God,

504
00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:23,300
He's in the church service where
thousands of people are attended

505
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,199
and I got one guy like let's go 
killed a guy. 

506
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:33,199
I got one, man. 
Here in the same thing everybody

507
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:36,900
else is hearing but he hears a 
through a covenant. 

508
00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:42,600
He said whole in, who is this? 
Notice what he said, who is this

509
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,500
on circumcised? 
He heard the man's voice through

510
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:50,400
God's covenant, that man ain't 
even in Covenant. 

511
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:54,000
How can a nun? 
Covenant guy? 

512
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,600
Think he can talk and run off at
the mouth, like that. 

513
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,900
What is happening here? 
You know, just what is happening

514
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,500
here. 
Just like right now I mentioned 

515
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,000
this, I think Sunday I'm gonna 
mention it again because it 

516
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,700
Bears repeating how you hear me 
is based upon your attentiveness

517
00:35:09,700 --> 00:35:14,100
of me. 
I'm going to come back to that 

518
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:15,600
thought process here in a 
minute. 

519
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,400
So here, David's like I'll go 
kill him and then he's like 

520
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,700
shocked at the prizes, the 
rewards and he's almost like, 

521
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:31,800
why is no one moving? 
So, you understand David at that

522
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,400
church, looks like he's a 
fanatic. 

523
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:39,400
He looks a little strange. 
A little too much. 

524
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:42,300
God. 
I mean, you're taking a little 

525
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:51,700
too literal, aren't you? 
I mean, they're taking a little 

526
00:35:51,700 --> 00:35:54,800
too literal. 
Well, he literally went down and

527
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,100
cut the man's head off. 
He literally went destroy the 

528
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:02,300
rest of the army. 
Yeah thank God. 

529
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:04,800
He was literal. 
Thank God. 

530
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,700
He literally believed what he 
couldn't see. 

531
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:16,600
Hallelujah, once again, the rest
of them are here and we ain't 

532
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,600
going and he honestly the 
Lord's, like don't even go. 

533
00:36:20,900 --> 00:36:24,900
How do I know this? 
Because a person with if, if you

534
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:28,300
are a person who will not deal 
with fear, God will not ask you 

535
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:36,500
to go to battle. 
So God literally could say you 

536
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:44,900
should just stay home. 
Okay. 

537
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,400
Me why I got? 
Why would God not let these 

538
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,900
22,000 go? 
He going is he not going to 

539
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:54,600
fight it anyway? 
We know he's going to fight the 

540
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,100
battle. 
We know that every battle is 

541
00:36:56,100 --> 00:37:01,800
ultimately the Lord's but yet he
won't let 22,000 people be a 

542
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,000
part of the battle, although 
they'll reap the benefits. 

543
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:13,000
He'll tell the megachurch. 
Stay home. 

544
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:23,300
You don't want to hear this. 
Just stay home, right? 

545
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I just don't believe the Lord 
wants us to do anything. 

546
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,800
Mmm. 
Yeah you're right. 

547
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:29,200
I know why he's telling you 
that. 

548
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,400
Now, that's not to be demeaning,
but I much rather know why God 

549
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,600
would say something to someone. 
Then assume that everyone would 

550
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,800
get what I'm like. 
Who is this uncircumcised 

551
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,400
Philistine. 
Let's do this thing man. 

552
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:49,300
What's the problem, right? 
And when you're like, what's the

553
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:50,900
problem? 
And they're like, no, you're 

554
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:54,000
like, what's the oh oh, that's 
the problem. 

555
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,400
Okay, okay. 
I'm going to get it for you. 

556
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,800
See, if you're a person who will
not deal with fear, God knows 

557
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,000
you have already lost before you
start fighting. 

558
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,600
Cuz you're not going to be 
working with him. 

559
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:22,700
You will not work with him. 
You won't do it. 

560
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:26,100
Let me just say this way. 
No Victory exists. 

561
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:33,100
Where fear is present? 
No, big tree exist were fears 

562
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:36,200
present. 
This is why knowing the word so 

563
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,700
important. 
See if you do AR, not a studier 

564
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:42,900
of the word, I cannot stress 
this enough if you are not a 

565
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:45,700
studier of the word, Fierce 
coming to your life. 

566
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,300
It's coming. 
The only way you beat fear down 

567
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:52,400
is to know the voice of your 
king firmly. 

568
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,000
Persuaded never doubting the 
only way is the only way that 

569
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,200
you'll say stuff that the rest 
of the world is saying is saying

570
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:09,100
different Like you crazy. 
I have heard the voice of Maga. 

571
00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:11,000
I don't know how to hear 
anything different. 

572
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,900
I have ears to hear only what he
says and to respond only as he 

573
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:19,300
says and it's never by sight and
to a fearful person, you're not 

574
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:22,900
going to hear that. 
You're probably going to hear, 

575
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:31,500
you should sit this one out. 
So on that day, that occasion. 

576
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:37,700
22,000 heard, God say go home. 
You're not fight in essence. 

577
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,600
I'm not even give you a word to 
believe. 

578
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:47,800
Oh man. 
But 10,000 heard God, say 

579
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:52,900
continue towards the Bible. 
Well, let's continue on then 

580
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:56,000
jump down to verse 4. 
Verse 4 says the Lord said to 

581
00:39:56,008 --> 00:39:57,500
get him. 
The men are still too many. 

582
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:00,400
Bring them down to where. 
Now when God says they're too 

583
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,800
many. 
It's not because it's just a 

584
00:40:01,808 --> 00:40:04,000
numbers issue. 
It's the heart issue. 

585
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,300
You got to understand this is 
not just about sheer numbers. 

586
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:13,500
Notice how God identified, the 
too many because of things going

587
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:17,900
on in their heart. 
They've all heard God wants to 

588
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:20,500
deliver Israel. 
From the hand of many the Midian

589
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:23,100
nights and Gideon's the guy to 
do it. 

590
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,000
Although he's never fought a 
battle. 

591
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:33,300
He's only torn down a statue of 
bell at MIT at, you know, eight 

592
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:36,100
in the a.m. when nobody was 
watching with about 10 guys. 

593
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:38,900
And they could those two guys 
could testify. 

594
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:41,100
We did it man, we did we tore 
down? 

595
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,900
And it didn't get up and kill us
or smote us. 

596
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,100
You know, there really nothing. 
I personally think that the Lord

597
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:51,800
needed them to tear that down 
because they were afraid of the 

598
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,500
Gods of the amorites. 
He need let me know. 

599
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:55,300
You need to know that God can't 
do nothing to you. 

600
00:40:55,700 --> 00:40:59,000
That's why I got another name 
that meant let, Bale Bale 

601
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,200
contend with him. 
This is the his father like it. 

602
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,800
Bales got a problem with him, 
let him content. 

603
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,300
Why are you trying to do is work
and killing? 

604
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:06,900
If your God so tough and he's 
got a problem with him tearing 

605
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:08,600
down one of his statues. 
Let him deal with him. 

606
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:09,300
Kill him. 
Guess what? 

607
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:14,100
He didn't die, which embolden 
the 10 and A, you know, allow 32

608
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:16,100
that really hated their 
suffering. 

609
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,900
You understand, you can hate 
your suffering and still be 

610
00:41:19,900 --> 00:41:23,100
afraid to get out of it. 
Okay, I'm gonna say that again, 

611
00:41:23,300 --> 00:41:26,200
you can really hate your 
suffering and really want 

612
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,700
something to be done about it. 
But at the end of the day you 

613
00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:34,400
can't because you're too afraid 
to deal with your suffering. 

614
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,800
At the end of day, 22,000 had to
admit I I cannot face my enemy. 

615
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:44,000
I'm too afraid. 
I'm am scared to death. 

616
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:46,000
You know what? 
It'd be better for you, to be 

617
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
honest, that you're scared to 
death of cancer. 

618
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:56,100
Then the a lie about it. 
You know, I'd be better because 

619
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:59,200
God, so Marshall, he'll say you 
sit on the sideline. 

620
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,900
I'll send somebody that can get 
it for you now, that doesn't 

621
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:03,800
mean you're not going to be 
responsible. 

622
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,700
To have to grow and deal with 
cat cause cancer will show back 

623
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:12,400
up. 
No doubt cancer was show up 

624
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,800
there. 
Anyone who's afraid of it? 

625
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:17,800
It can do it. 
You've got to develop where I'm 

626
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,900
going to deal with fear. 
I'm not going to let anything 

627
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:23,900
intimidate me, that keeps me 
from the promises of God being 

628
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:28,700
activated in my life. 
But God is merciful that if 

629
00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:31,200
you're honest and say, Lord, I 
am afraid. 

630
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:34,800
This is why God was really 
honest with the one man. 

631
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:37,400
He said when he came to him 
because he took him to the 

632
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,100
disciples as son, that was being
thrown around by a demon. 

633
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,200
And he said, man, if you can do 
anything in the Lord's, like if 

634
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,300
you can, all things are possible
to him, who believes the Lord? 

635
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:45,700
I do believe him. 
Unbelief. 

636
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,600
Thank God for his honesty. 
I was Believers, will be more 

637
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:54,000
honest. 
Now, honesty and knowing facts. 

638
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:58,400
We shouldn't stay there. 
But let's be honest when I deal 

639
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,300
with anyone with any sickness 
and disease especially if they 

640
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:05,000
get a little bit older I asked 
the question where are you? 

641
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:07,900
Well, I just believe I don't 
care that you believe. 

642
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,100
Where are you? 
Where are you? 

643
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,900
Because everybody in the room 
could believe God for your 

644
00:43:14,908 --> 00:43:16,400
healing. 
But are you thinking about 

645
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,200
heaven? 
Does your thing about heaven? 

646
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:27,900
We're going to have, we're gonna
have problem and I've seen many 

647
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,000
in fact just today. 
A Rhema pastor's wife passed 

648
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,600
away. 
Leukemia. 

649
00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:43,800
About it for six months. 
Okay, the regional director 

650
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,800
called me. 
Text me says, man, I didn't know

651
00:43:46,808 --> 00:43:49,200
I look at my call log. 
We talked about it, I did not 

652
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,000
realize this is a very dicey. 
Here's the problem with the 

653
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,000
older Rhema graduates. 
They tell us what they believe. 

654
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,200
But they don't tell us the 
severity. 

655
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
The reason when the you don't 
tell me the severity then you 

656
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,500
don't give me any indication. 
I might need to do more 

657
00:44:10,500 --> 00:44:15,400
interceding because the more 
severe it is the more that 

658
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:22,800
talks. 
So I was, I was very candid with

659
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,000
it died last night. 
See, we are way too touchy. 

660
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,000
When we really should be more 
walking in the love of God. 

661
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:37,700
I said, pastor. 
Talk me through what happened? 

662
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:39,000
Tell me, what, tell me what 
happened? 

663
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:44,000
he said, well, you know, he went
through a few things, he says, 

664
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:51,300
you know, she got tired Many. 
He said that I knew and, and his

665
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:55,500
saying it was letting me know 
and he was telling me she got 

666
00:44:55,500 --> 00:45:04,100
tired. 
So got the family together. 

667
00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:08,500
We had some, you know, worship 
music going on the praying with 

668
00:45:08,500 --> 00:45:11,700
her. 
You know, praying for her, you 

669
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:15,800
know, just spending time and it 
was the most peaceful transition

670
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,300
I've ever seen. 
It was great. 

671
00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:18,400
They celebrated it. 
Why? 

672
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,000
Because at the end of the day, 
this is not the end right? 

673
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,600
At the end of the day, right? 
What was so powerful about that?

674
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:31,500
Is that the only reason is 
because she chose to let this be

675
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:38,100
her moment to go, not because 
she couldn't have beat it, not 

676
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:41,000
because it couldn't get off. 
Not because it one is because 

677
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,900
she at some point chose, you 
know, I'm tired of fighting this

678
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:50,800
fight. 
So, I'm going to, I'm going to 

679
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,900
go. 
I was so thankful for that 

680
00:45:55,900 --> 00:45:58,900
Honesty. 
Because you don't have any 

681
00:45:58,900 --> 00:46:03,700
Generations are messed up. 
So screwed up about God is 

682
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:06,500
because they told I'm believing,
I'm believe, then they die. 

683
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:11,700
And they're like, well God 
didn't heal my, if there's no 

684
00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:14,100
documented case, that God never 
not healed. 

685
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:25,400
It's better to be honest to say.
I'm just ready to go. 

686
00:46:26,300 --> 00:46:28,100
You know there's nothing wrong 
with being ready to go. 

687
00:46:28,300 --> 00:46:33,300
Paul wasn't dealing with disease
when he was thrown in prison, 

688
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,600
you know. 
In the Philippian prison he says

689
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,100
you know, I'm betwixt between 
two places whether to go on and 

690
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:44,800
be with the Lord, which is and I
mean seriously when you when 

691
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,400
some people have lived their 
life. 

692
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,300
So long and I've done so many 
things for the Lord, even 

693
00:46:49,300 --> 00:46:51,800
though, you know, I heard one 
man of God say, well just beat 

694
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,600
the disease and then go ahead 
and leave. 

695
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,300
And yes, you could do it that 
way. but at the end of the day, 

696
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,300
I'm not going to fault someone 
that makes the choice. 

697
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:07,900
To say it's going to be far 
better for me to go on and Lee's

698
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:11,000
be honest about it. 
So then we know the transition 

699
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,100
became a willful transition, not
a failure of God to perform his 

700
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:23,100
word. 
Not a failure. 

701
00:47:26,900 --> 00:47:29,600
And hopefully, when they do the 
funeral, they will say, you 

702
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,200
know, we were there and she 
chose I mean, let it let the 

703
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,300
death doesn't have a victory 
over a thing. 

704
00:47:35,300 --> 00:47:37,600
Don't let it happen. 
We chose. 

705
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:41,100
I mean, think about it. 
Jesus left his body because he 

706
00:47:41,100 --> 00:47:44,700
chose to go, it is finished and 
not be called fbt. 

707
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:47,300
Me even though there may be 
stuff. 

708
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,400
Going on our physical body, you 
don't beat me. 

709
00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:53,900
I just choose to leave now. 
Even though medical examiner's 

710
00:47:53,900 --> 00:47:57,700
going to say I died because of 
it and it was affecting my body 

711
00:47:58,900 --> 00:48:01,600
but the word does tell me I 
could have gotten it off but 

712
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,000
where I'm at today in my age and
I'm not going to fault those 

713
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,500
individuals and you shouldn't 
either. 

714
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:13,700
But now you decide on your own. 
Then I mean, if you're 96 and 

715
00:48:13,900 --> 00:48:16,200
all medical just coming against 
your like, I'm gonna live to be 

716
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:22,900
100 bless God. 
Believe God drive on Cause the 

717
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:26,700
Lord heals and I have documented
case of people who will, you 

718
00:48:26,708 --> 00:48:28,400
don't want to die by martyrdom, 
you know? 

719
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,000
I mean it can happen but you 
know, you don't want to but 

720
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,400
there's documented case of 
people who just left their body.

721
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,500
Their we're done, we're done and
it went sickness every disease. 

722
00:48:37,700 --> 00:48:41,700
I'm finished we're done. 
Hallelujah. 

723
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:42,900
You. 
All right. 

724
00:48:43,500 --> 00:48:48,800
Okay, so he said there's still 
too many. 

725
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,600
He said bring them down to the 
water and I'll test them for 

726
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,200
you. 
There. 

727
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,500
And of whom I say to you, this 
man shall go with, you shall go 

728
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:00,500
with you and he whom I say to 
you. 

729
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:02,600
This man shall not go with. 
You shall not go. 

730
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,300
So God's going to have two 
different words for due to 

731
00:49:05,300 --> 00:49:11,000
different people, but why So he 
brought the men down to the 

732
00:49:11,008 --> 00:49:14,000
water, and the Lord said to 
Gideon, everyone who laps up the

733
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,800
water with his tongue as a dog 
laps it you shall set him by 

734
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:23,400
himself likewise everyone who 
boughs down on his knees to 

735
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:28,500
drink and the number of those 
who lap putting their hands to 

736
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:33,500
their mouth was 300 men. 
But all the rest of the people 

737
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:36,100
bow down upon their needs to 
drink water. 

738
00:49:36,100 --> 00:49:39,300
The Lord said to gain, I would 
deliver you with, with the 300 

739
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:43,400
men who laughed and we'll give 
the midianites into your hands. 

740
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:48,600
So let all the other people go 
each man to his home. 

741
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,800
So what does that look like? 
Those individuals got down like 

742
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,700
this and was doing this with the
water, right? 

743
00:49:56,700 --> 00:50:00,600
The other ones did this. 
Okay, so that's the two 

744
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,500
postures. 
You understand, okay so what 

745
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:07,000
what do we learn out of this 
concerning, why God would say 

746
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,500
something different to somebody 
will test will determine what 

747
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:15,500
God says to you. 
Fear will determine what God 

748
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:19,400
says to you and tests will 
determine what God says to you. 

749
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:27,800
If you are a person who lacks 
attention, God knows God knows, 

750
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:32,900
the results will be the 
potential of you hurting other 

751
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:35,100
people in battle. 
Now, what do I mean by that? 

752
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:40,400
Here's the position. 
Right. 

753
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:45,600
I mean the median eyes are on 
the other side of the valley. 

754
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,000
I mean, by All rights, we're in 
war. 

755
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,800
We just had made it to the front
lines and I've got out of 

756
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,700
10,000. 
People 9700 are paying no 

757
00:50:58,700 --> 00:51:07,200
attention. 
People who spend more time on 

758
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:08,800
their phones, while I'm 
preaching. 

759
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:15,200
Are paying no attention. 
The pay no attention. 

760
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:23,700
Where's checking in? 
Your heads, buried, and God's 

761
00:51:23,700 --> 00:51:25,100
trying to prepare you for 
battle. 

762
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:28,800
And you know, you're not having 
ears to hear because you're 

763
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:35,400
reading your text threads are 
your social media threads are 

764
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,200
your notification threads. 
And even though my voice is in 

765
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,200
the room, it's white noise at 
that moment. so when you try to 

766
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,000
ring gauge thinking, these guys 
were like 

767
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:06,300
you've missed a lot. 
I have a boxer. 

768
00:52:08,300 --> 00:52:12,000
And by boxer because when she 
was born, she had a challenge in

769
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,100
her nostrils. 
They didn't what an opened all 

770
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:17,700
the way. 
I remember one time, Brian, and 

771
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:21,600
Cheyenne's boxer. 
They have his name's Andy and I 

772
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,400
had both of these two dogs at 
one time. 

773
00:52:24,700 --> 00:52:27,800
And so Andy was the stronger 
dog. 

774
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:33,400
Tybee was the runt and most 
medically challenged dog. 

775
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:40,600
We had she's healthy now. 
She had problems anyway, Mars 

776
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,100
would be at the end of the road 
at the other house. 

777
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:44,100
We used to live and she would 
like unhook them and I would 

778
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:49,000
like to write and they were 
flying in Dewitt just like run 

779
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,600
up to the house, you know? 
Yeah. 

780
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,100
Then I get out there like come 
on, Chinese, going real fast, 

781
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,000
got up to the house and then 
went and fell out. 

782
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:04,400
She passed out because she 
couldn't breathe because there 

783
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,900
are ways like thank God Marci 
didn't see this. 

784
00:53:06,900 --> 00:53:11,700
I like we killed the dog. 
But she came around, you know? 

785
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,800
Anyway she end up getting this 
like blood blister on her 

786
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:20,000
nostrils and we had it cut off 
later to find out Benadryl gets 

787
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,900
rid of it. 
She got another one on a paw on 

788
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:25,600
the and the vet said we're going
to probably cut her toe off and 

789
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,400
I passed a some Marcy heard the 
Holy Ghost, because I'm gonna 

790
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,700
give her some Benadryl gave her 
Benadryl and it dried up. 

791
00:53:31,700 --> 00:53:33,600
And any time she gets another 
give her Benadryl. 

792
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:36,300
I can save you a lot of money. 
If your dog is like these blood 

793
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:39,000
vessels, these hemo Tobin 
whatever. 

794
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:43,900
Called Benadryl dried up. 
It's crazy anyway. 

795
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,100
We didn't know that the first 
one. 

796
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,300
So we had it cut out while they 
were doing surgery. 

797
00:53:49,300 --> 00:53:52,100
Say Clipper, you know, the 
nostril so she can get a good 

798
00:53:52,100 --> 00:53:55,800
Airway when as a as a pump 
because she couldn't breathe 

799
00:53:55,800 --> 00:54:01,100
when she drinks water. 
She puts her whole face in It's 

800
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:05,000
like Barry to her eyeballs and 
she drinks the whole thing. 

801
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,300
Why? 
Cause she can breathe anyway, 

802
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:08,000
really? 
So she would just drink that way

803
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:10,300
to this day. 
She still does that. 

804
00:54:10,700 --> 00:54:14,800
Although technically, she could 
snort up some water but that's 

805
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,900
how she was trained earlier, 
right? 

806
00:54:17,100 --> 00:54:22,400
That's what these people are 
doing, okay, so they are lacking

807
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,100
attention, see when you go into 
battle, if you can't pay 

808
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:41,200
attention, So here's here's the 
problem, if you accept hdhd at 

809
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,800
180 HD. 
So, you know, so many acronyms 

810
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:52,800
today, Attention deficit, 
disorder are hyper disorder, 

811
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,500
right? 
If you accept that about 

812
00:54:55,500 --> 00:54:59,200
yourself and give yourself the 
excuse to, not be able to pay 

813
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:04,600
attention, Then God, may talk to
you different when it comes to a

814
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,600
faith battle. 
Because you're not going to stay

815
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:14,000
focused on the word. 
I'ma tell you right now 

816
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,900
seriously it we used to say the 
within the youth ministry all 

817
00:55:16,900 --> 00:55:20,200
the time when I was a youth 
pastor I said if you can't come 

818
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,400
to service and not hold your 
girlfriend or boyfriend's hand, 

819
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,300
while we're supposed to be 
hearing from God and experience,

820
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,600
then you probably should 
reconsider the relationship 

821
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,400
because you have an idol. 
Same thing. 

822
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,300
If you can't come in here 
without looking at your phone 

823
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,000
somewhere other than the Bible 
app and taking notes, you 

824
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,600
probably should reconsider 
bringing in into the service 

825
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:42,800
right? 
At the end of this. 

826
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:47,300
If it becomes a weight or 
stumbling block, all right 

827
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:51,700
hinders your attention because 
you know as well as I do it is 

828
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:55,900
creating a bit of a tension 
issue with us. 

829
00:55:56,500 --> 00:55:58,400
Let me just go ahead and do it 
tomorrow. 

830
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,600
Literally count. 
How many times you pick up your 

831
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:05,300
phone to look at something? 
Just do it and you'll rip. 

832
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:07,200
And again, can you curve it? 
Yes. 

833
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,700
Can you fix it? 
Yes. 

834
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,000
But you're going to have to 
discipline yourself, but I'm 

835
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,600
tell you right now, if those 
things are in your life, God 

836
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,800
knows ultimately you're going to
hurt somebody. 

837
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,800
Because you're not paying 
attention. 

838
00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:26,700
The next thing we learn as a 
result of this is if a person 

839
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:30,700
will lay aside their weapon of 
warfare for self-preservation, 

840
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:36,500
God knows once the battle gets 
heavy, they're going to run I 

841
00:56:36,508 --> 00:56:39,900
mean, think about it, they're 
going to war, I mean to get in 

842
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:42,000
this position. 
You've got to get up all your 

843
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,400
stuff off. 
You got to like get it out of 

844
00:56:44,408 --> 00:56:49,000
the way so you can because I'm 
thirsty, this is about me. 

845
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:51,700
Zane about everyone around me 
now. 

846
00:56:54,700 --> 00:56:57,500
See a person is only worried 
about personally sir this is why

847
00:56:57,500 --> 00:57:01,800
I hate that we have been 
preaching a personal 

848
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:06,100
relationship with Jesus. 
Not that we don't have a 

849
00:57:06,100 --> 00:57:09,100
personal one. 
Like I'm one on one with geez I 

850
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:13,400
can have my communion but at 
like no one else in the body of 

851
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:18,400
Christ matters. 
Then God's probably going to 

852
00:57:18,408 --> 00:57:21,600
talk to you different when it 
comes to the battle, because at 

853
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,300
the end, they all you are 
fighting a faith is for your 

854
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:26,500
Reservation, not for your 
brother over here. 

855
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,800
That ain't God, little will say.
You should probably go home. 

856
00:57:39,300 --> 00:57:44,800
Now again all 32 thousand, plus 
the ones who didn't attend are 

857
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:50,800
going to reap the benefit of the
victory. but make no mistake, 

858
00:57:51,500 --> 00:57:57,800
the victory is won because 300 
More qualified. 

859
00:57:59,300 --> 00:58:04,500
For God to say, I'll use you not
because God wouldn't want to 

860
00:58:04,500 --> 00:58:10,000
use. 
Not because it's not his, he 

861
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,700
fulfills, his original will to 
get in. 

862
00:58:12,700 --> 00:58:16,600
In the, in the cellar in the 
basement, I'll use you to 

863
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,500
deliver. 
Go. 

864
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,100
And I'm going to take these 300 
because out of the tests now, 

865
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:31,600
Only got 300 pass the test. if 
you fail tests, God, talk to 

866
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:35,000
you, different I want to do 
something. 

867
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:39,600
You got pass some tests. 
So we'll have us test. 

868
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:44,600
Comes at Family Worship Center. 
You don't pass it. 

869
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,300
You leave it. 
So then you go over to Anastasia

870
00:58:47,300 --> 00:58:53,900
Baptist, you failed that test. 
So then you go over to Good News

871
00:58:53,900 --> 00:59:01,200
Church, wherever it's at, right?
You go to Colonial, you go to 

872
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,600
home Port, you go to the 
Lutheran Church downtown. 

873
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:08,900
All the while you want to be. 
Used to God but you keep 

874
00:59:08,900 --> 00:59:10,500
failing. 
All the tests you come to a cafe

875
00:59:10,500 --> 00:59:12,300
kjersti going to be a giant 
killer. 

876
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:19,300
Same test, don't show up. 
And they leave us and go to the 

877
00:59:19,300 --> 00:59:21,400
next one. 
Now, the trend is, is you talk 

878
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:29,500
about all of us when you go to 
the next one, but, let me say it

879
00:59:29,508 --> 00:59:39,500
this way, 22,000 assemble and 
they're fearful 9700 assemble 

880
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:46,500
and they fail tests. 
But they get the benefit of the 

881
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:50,000
victory. 
Of a place that will believe 

882
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,900
God. 
And the ones that are believing 

883
00:59:52,900 --> 00:59:55,200
God and passed the test and are 
not afraid. 

884
00:59:56,300 --> 01:00:01,500
Aren't against the 22, are the 
10 but they're wise enough to 

885
01:00:01,500 --> 01:00:04,300
know. 
That's why God didn't send them.

886
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,800
And I don't want to be the one 
that God can't send. 

887
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,600
So when I'm out and about in the
community and people at all, no,

888
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,500
I couldn't do that in this 
situation. 

889
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:24,200
You're one of the 22. 
Okay, I get it. 

890
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,400
I understand why God would say 
that instead of saying God, one 

891
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,600
say that God wants you to do 
that. 

892
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:37,000
I mean God ultimately wants his 
promises to come to pass but 

893
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,300
some are never going to get it 
and that Capac, they're only 

894
01:00:40,300 --> 01:00:42,900
going to be at a refit from the 
ones. 

895
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:47,300
Who come out of fear and pass 
tests. 

896
01:00:49,300 --> 01:00:51,500
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Now, ultimately, if you don't 

897
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:52,700
get it together, you're going to
die. 

898
01:00:53,300 --> 01:00:56,100
God, can I just say that? 
May ultimately, there's a lot of

899
01:00:56,100 --> 01:00:59,300
people who died because they 
never dealt. 

900
01:00:59,300 --> 01:01:01,400
They never pass a test and never
got out of fear. 

901
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:08,500
They only got Concord so, if you
are a person who chooses a self 

902
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:14,200
centered position, In an 
approaching conflict. 

903
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:18,800
God knows you'll give up instead
of finishing and that kind of 

904
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,700
position is self-centered. 
It ain't thinking about nobody 

905
01:01:21,700 --> 01:01:25,700
else. 
And guys, I go say, hey, I want 

906
01:01:25,700 --> 01:01:27,400
you to come and help conquer 
this. 

907
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,500
Well, you're self-centered, it's
all about you and what you can 

908
01:01:32,500 --> 01:01:36,400
get. 
And when it gets when you get, 

909
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,500
when the whole group has to come
together, start believing, 

910
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,500
you're going to quit, you're 
going to abandon this thing. 

911
01:01:42,300 --> 01:01:44,900
You're not going to finish so 
you know. 

912
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:55,700
You should go home. 
Notice God will not use the 

913
01:01:55,700 --> 01:02:01,400
fearful and the ones who failed 
the test in the battle. 

914
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:10,100
He won't use them. 
Does he love them but he won't 

915
01:02:10,100 --> 01:02:15,100
use them. 
He won't use them. 

916
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,200
They admit they're afraid they 
really don't. 

917
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:24,100
They love the idea. 
But man, I'm scared up my mind. 

918
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:30,900
Then don't come. 
This is how merciful god is 

919
01:02:30,900 --> 01:02:32,800
because God don't want you to 
get about you going down. 

920
01:02:34,900 --> 01:02:38,600
And all the while saying you're 
fighting for the Lord because we

921
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,100
sing it, he's never lost a 
battle. 

922
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,300
By All rights you think he would
have with the town of AI. 

923
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,100
They conquered Jericho, send a 
little small group, you know, 

924
01:02:54,100 --> 01:02:56,300
over into Ai and get the bus 
whipped. 

925
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,200
Like the Lord lost? 
No, the Lord didn't lose. 

926
01:03:03,900 --> 01:03:07,300
The nation failed. 
One man fell but it costs the 

927
01:03:07,300 --> 01:03:09,000
Hulk. 
It costs. 

928
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,700
A whole knee. 
It costs them, 37, men's lives. 

929
01:03:11,700 --> 01:03:18,500
I think it was Wow, horrible. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

930
01:03:18,700 --> 01:03:20,300
Because again when you hear that
you're thinking, oh man. 

931
01:03:20,300 --> 01:03:22,200
A I admitted it. 
Why they why they kill him. 

932
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,600
He was a murderer. 
He murdered 37 people. 

933
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:35,700
Okay, Hallelujah. 
Fearful people, let me say it 

934
01:03:35,700 --> 01:03:38,600
this way. 97 heard God say go 
home. 

935
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:43,800
That day. 
But 300 heard continue to the 

936
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:49,300
bottle. 
Fearful people, and people who 

937
01:03:49,300 --> 01:03:52,000
fail the test will hear 
something different. 

938
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,400
From those who are fearless and 
tested. 

939
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,900
He's definitely going to talk 
different. 

940
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,200
Now, his will for them, both is 
the same. 

941
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:18,300
This is why you can't judge 
every Global situation globally 

942
01:04:18,300 --> 01:04:21,600
from a national perspective in 
different nations are from our 

943
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,700
nation and think everybody 
should respond this way. 

944
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:31,400
Because Listen, by All rights 
22,000 says, God told us to go 

945
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:37,100
home. 
Why are you not at the house? 

946
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:46,300
God told us to go home. 
God did tell you to go home. 

947
01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:47,500
Why? 
That's the thing? 

948
01:04:47,500 --> 01:04:50,800
You're not asking today. 
We don't ask, why is God telling

949
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,800
me this? 
See, we just assumed because we 

950
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,200
heard God. 
That's God's best. 

951
01:04:58,300 --> 01:05:03,800
No, we assume because God said, 
now you need to say to the house

952
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:05,500
and he don't even want me engage
this. 

953
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:06,800
Okay. 
Well, praise the lord. 

954
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,800
It's the how come I can't 
engage? 

955
01:05:10,700 --> 01:05:12,500
Wait a minute. 
Is there a problem with me? 

956
01:05:12,500 --> 01:05:15,700
Lord, that would hinder me from 
getting involved here because if

957
01:05:15,700 --> 01:05:17,400
there's a problem, we need to 
talk about that. 

958
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:22,400
I need to get something 
corrected. 22,000. 

959
01:05:24,300 --> 01:05:28,600
Then the 22,000 get more 
confirmation that they heard, 

960
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,800
right? 
Cause 9700 show up and go. 

961
01:05:33,300 --> 01:05:39,300
The Lord told us to go home. 
I told you I mean, we heard got 

962
01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:41,300
on the service. 
He said go home. 

963
01:05:41,300 --> 01:05:43,000
I don't understand why y'all 
kept moving. 

964
01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:45,600
Well, y'all are crazy. 
Why you keep moving towards it? 

965
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:51,800
He said go home. 
Well, whose statement is 300 

966
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,800
crazy. 
People didn't come, they're 

967
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:57,600
idiots. 
Don't they understand? 

968
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,200
The majority is responding this 
way. 

969
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,800
the Lord says, Okay, you 300, I 
can take you. 

970
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,200
I'm not mad at them. 
I love them. 

971
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:21,900
They're going to reap the 
benefit. 

972
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:29,600
But you're Fearless. 
You've been tested your 

973
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,600
attentive. 
You're not about yourself. 

974
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,400
You here for the nation, you're 
here for the vision here, for 

975
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,500
the whole common good, I'm going
to use you. 

976
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,300
And you know what the part they 
all they played was a bunch of 

977
01:06:44,300 --> 01:06:49,600
lamp Breakers and the end of the
day, all they did was break 

978
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,300
lamps. 
I hunted you go here honey. 

979
01:06:53,300 --> 01:06:54,400
Go here 100. 
Go there. 

980
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,300
All right, I'm gonna stay here 
cuz 301 Gideon. 

981
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:07,200
Lord says she's break the lamps,
we bad break the lamps, right? 

982
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,700
Blow a bunch of trumpets or 
whatever. 

983
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:17,600
Then they kill themselves. 
And then they go and just become

984
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:25,600
carriers of the spoil. 
But he had to find a list. 

985
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,300
This is how bad they the whole 
nation was in fear. 

986
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:33,800
That he had to find a group that
could at least be bold enough to

987
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,700
break lamps. 
Why? 

988
01:07:36,700 --> 01:07:41,900
So that the minute they saw the 
actual enemy in the numbers on 

989
01:07:41,900 --> 01:07:43,300
that scale because you 
understand when it came and 

990
01:07:43,300 --> 01:07:45,500
invaded, they came with camels 
without numbers, but it's still 

991
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:46,900
there. 
They're hitting people, people 

992
01:07:46,900 --> 01:07:48,600
are in their homes, they're 
getting the group that shows up 

993
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,700
there, they're not seeing the 
vast of them. 

994
01:07:50,700 --> 01:07:53,700
Going Coleman the whole land. 
Now they're all laid out in the 

995
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:58,000
valley and you're like, wow, 
that's the enemy and then when 

996
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,000
you're looking around at each 
other, as 300 light Where in the

997
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,900
world is the rest of those guys.
Right. 

998
01:08:05,900 --> 01:08:10,000
We have. 
I mean there's 330 1700 that 

999
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:14,600
should get there. 
But here right now we need the 

1000
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,300
Lord's like I don't need them. 
That can't use them. 

1001
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,899
I want to but I can't I got to 
talk to them differently. 

1002
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:30,300
But I got the ones who are 
willing to break. 

1003
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:35,600
And then be not afraid to go in 
and trust that I've routed them 

1004
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:39,000
and they're not going to pop up.
Now, there's no indication that 

1005
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,500
they may not may, they have, 
maybe they still had to stab a 

1006
01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:43,000
few. 
You know maybe there's a couple 

1007
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,200
of stragglers doesn't say 
Doesn't say. 

1008
01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:50,800
But we know the Lord fought the 
Battle, but he did not do it 

1009
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:55,500
without 300, fearless and tested
people. 

1010
01:08:58,899 --> 01:09:01,500
Are you hearing me? 
I said, are you hearing me? 

1011
01:09:02,100 --> 01:09:07,300
So remember all knew the Lord 
wanted to want it Israel to be 

1012
01:09:07,300 --> 01:09:11,200
delivered but only 300 plus 
Gideon. 

1013
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:20,200
Actually delivered them. 
So, as as as believers. 

1014
01:09:21,700 --> 01:09:29,700
We need to be not so quick. 
To push our thus saith the Lord 

1015
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:34,100
in situations on people. 
We need to be more. 

1016
01:09:34,100 --> 01:09:38,300
Like I didn't hear that. 
Why? 

1017
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,000
Because at the end of the day, 
I've said this, there are 

1018
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,700
certain situations that churches
should respond differently. 

1019
01:09:52,300 --> 01:09:55,600
And it was right that God wanted
them to do it a certain way or 

1020
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,800
certain ways. 
But I'm not talking about 

1021
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:03,200
truths, like God wanted to kill 
that whole you know, church with

1022
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:07,000
the hurricane. 
He did not want to do that. 

1023
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:14,400
It was not his will. 
Okay. but there are cases where 

1024
01:10:16,100 --> 01:10:18,500
Certain churches going to inform
their congregation. 

1025
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:21,000
We should respond to the 
hurricane this way. 

1026
01:10:22,700 --> 01:10:25,700
And then others may say, we're 
going to do this. 

1027
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:36,700
We're going to talk to it. 
Right. 

1028
01:10:38,300 --> 01:10:39,100
All right. 
Let's pray. 

1029
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:40,400
Father, we love him. 
We on you. 

1030
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:43,300
You're good God. 
You're a good God. 

1031
01:10:45,300 --> 01:10:49,600
Hallelujah, may we hear the 
voice of God? 

1032
01:10:51,500 --> 01:10:59,300
so, that the conclusion is, he 
was saying, ultimately, I can 

1033
01:10:59,300 --> 01:11:05,700
use you. 
If he's not then let us get to 

1034
01:11:05,700 --> 01:11:11,200
the place we can. 
Which brings me back to David 

1035
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:17,100
and Goliath. 
The majority said, we ain't got 

1036
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:18,300
nobody. 
We can't do this. 

1037
01:11:18,300 --> 01:11:22,800
We're not going to be able to do
this but one guy says, who is 

1038
01:11:23,900 --> 01:11:29,400
and after he cuts that Giants 
head off, He calls the fear of 

1039
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,100
the rest of the nation to Fall 
Away. 

1040
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:38,600
And they marched behind David to
Route the rest of the army. 

1041
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:47,900
What am I saying? 
The 300 God wanted to use. 

1042
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:57,100
To help the other 30 1702 come 
out of what they were in to be 

1043
01:11:57,100 --> 01:12:01,000
used. 
Anytime we're here in something 

1044
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,600
that we knows God's word to 
bring in the impossible. 

1045
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,300
It's there to empower someone 
else to believe. 

1046
01:12:13,900 --> 01:12:15,800
I've walked this property so 
many times. 

1047
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:19,800
Saying, Lord, why do you want us
to believe for this? 

1048
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:26,800
And I'll never forget Lord's 
life because I need someone who 

1049
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,200
will let some all these other 
ministers. 

1050
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:35,000
Know that I still do it today. 
I said, I'll believe. 

1051
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,600
One about us, acquiring it for 
us alone. 

1052
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,900
It was about us to be able to 
stand and say, we believe God, 

1053
01:12:49,700 --> 01:12:54,000
and he's the same Miracle, 
working God today, and that's 

1054
01:12:54,000 --> 01:13:00,900
just in that area. 
If you're here today and you 

1055
01:13:00,900 --> 01:13:02,500
never made Jesus the Lord of 
your life. 

1056
01:13:02,900 --> 01:13:05,800
I'm not going to labor long at 
all, you just need to get up and

1057
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,100
come down here right now. 
So we can pray with you because 

1058
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:11,900
his kingdoms worth getting into 
and there's only one word. 

1059
01:13:11,900 --> 01:13:14,500
He's saying to humanity, be born
again. 

1060
01:13:15,900 --> 01:13:18,500
So if you've never made Jesus, 
the Lord of your life by calling

1061
01:13:18,500 --> 01:13:22,100
on his name acknowledging, that 
he came to the Earth died on the

1062
01:13:22,100 --> 01:13:24,000
cross Rose from the grave on the
third day. 

1063
01:13:24,300 --> 01:13:27,600
Come down here right now, let's 
pray because this kingdoms to 

1064
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:34,300

Great hangout and beg you just 

1065

I'm telling if you do it got to 

1067
01:13:42,700 --> 01:13:44,100

If you here today you're born 

1068
01:13:44,100 --> 01:13:46,800
again but you're not been filled
with the Holy Spirit know with 

1069
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,700
and been and have the power of 
God. 

1070

God, come and get the promises. 

1072

God is telling you. 
He wants you to have the power. 

1073
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,800
So just come and believe just 
like you got born again, you can

1074
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,100
come and believe and get the 
power of God. 

1075
01:14:02,100 --> 01:14:04,400
The baptism of the spirit of God
to come upon you and you'll 

1076
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,900
speak in the unknown tongues, 
just a language of the Kingdom. 

1077
01:14:07,900 --> 01:14:12,200
That's all it is, okay? 
So, all it is, is powerful, but 

1078
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:15,600
that's what it is, that this, 
don't make it complicated, okay?

1079
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,200
But if you've never made Jesus, 
Lord of your life, get them. 

1080
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:22,800
Come on, let's do this. 
If you're a child of God and 

1081
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:26,400
you're like, man, I'm fat. 
Let's just say it this way, as a

1082
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,600
child of God asked the Lord. 
Not now tonight for you. 

1083
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,700
Go to Lord, is there anything 
going on in my life that you 

1084
01:14:33,700 --> 01:14:41,600
would have to send me home? 
Just tell me what it is so I can

1085
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,700
overcome because I want to be 
able to be used of you. 

1086
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:53,400
And in these last days, we need 
Fearless tested believers. 

1087
01:14:55,400 --> 01:15:01,700
That is going to go against the 
majority of most Believers, most

1088
01:15:01,700 --> 01:15:05,300
Believers not counting the world
but most believers. 

1089
01:15:07,700 --> 01:15:10,000
We've got to stand. 
We got to believe. 

1090
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,400
We've got to do. 
We've got to be fearless. 

1091
01:15:13,500 --> 01:15:15,200
Are you hearing me? 
I said are you hearing me?
