Turn over to Psalms 119 verse 89.
Psalms 118, verse 89. I'm going to run through a few
scriptures to get us into some participation mode.
OK. And it says this forever, O
Lord, your word is settled in heaven forever.
O Lord, come on forever, O Lord, your Word is what?
What is it? Where it's settled, Where in
heaven? Glory to God, it is forever
settled in heaven. Psalms 100 and eight 119 verse
89 right. Let me look at this real quick
because you know, I just again just wanting to move in and
whatever the Lord is doing this word settled means the firm
standing or a pillar. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
It means to stand to take one stand, stand upright be set over
established. Now notice in this forever how
long? How long again forever Oh Lord,
your word is what established stands where in heaven.
So if all of us were to leave our bodies right now and we
would be called up to the 3rd heaven, we would be in heaven
where God lives, where Jesus Christ is seated at His right
hand. If we walked into the throne
room and we would hear Him declare things in the heaven
realm, this is what we would only experience.
That word coming to pass period, exclamation point, even that
word is forever settled in in heaven.
At no time is there a time in eternity or in the scope of
forever, that that word has not come to pass in heaven.
In heaven. And when 1 anointed cherub
deceives some others by about 1/3 of the angelic host to make
a run on the throne in heaven, they could not defeat the Word,
for the Word is forever settled in heaven, and they could not
come against the Word and be victorious.
The Word always wins. It wins and it has won.
Are you hearing me? Which means in that realm That's
at a moment. And we want to know how quick it
was. Jesus said I saw Satan fall like
man. Lightning's quick.
I mean, it's fast. I mean, it's like a blink of an
eye, which is, you know, not a full blink, but 1/2 of, I mean,
it's like so quick. And that's how quick that
rebellion went. Because his word is forever
settled in heaven. Now the question is, is how do
we establish a forever word here in the earth?
Amen, 'cause in his realm we know it is.
This is why Jesus said, Now when you pray, pray this way, our
Father who art heaven hallowed be your name, your Kingdom, your
will be on as it is, and how's his will done in heaven?
Always it stands, it's established, it is never
defeated in that amazing, it never fails, and it's forever
settled. Psalms 138 verse 2 says this.
I will bow down towards your holy temple and give thanks to
your name for your loving kindness and your truth.
For you have magnified your word according to all your names.
Another translation says this. I have magnified your name even
above all your names, meaning that the names of God are not
higher than His Word. In essence, what the Lord
desires for all creation to know is that His Word is infallible,
it is irreplaceable, it cannot be conquered, it is just, it is
righteous, it is love, It will come to pass, it will surely
come to pass. Hallelujah, man, what assurance
to the believer, to a child of God, that God's word is settled,
established and it is magnified. What it means is, is God, his
character, is based upon him doing exactly what he says.
He can never be caught as a liar.
Never. He always does what he says he
will never for all eternity, eternity past eternity's future,
he will never be caught. A liar can't do it because he
has magnified his name, His word even above his name, meaning
that he will do even though, OK, thank you Lord, the Lord just
told me this. He said this.
He said, remember how I've said in my word for my name's sake,
right? For my name's sake.
There were things that he did or he was in mercy functioning said
for, for my name's sake, meaning I have to do my word.
My word is above my name, and not just because of my name and
my namesake, but because of my name.
My name is being attacked. My name is being made as mud.
People are talking about saying I'm not doing, you understand,
Gideon himself said some things to God that was not truth when
he was down in the wine press trying to separate the wheat
from the chaff. And the Angel came in and said,
you're a mighty man of valor. The Lord has dunk, you know,
wants to talk to you about delivering the people.
And he's like, where is God? I mean, if he's God and he was
for us, then how come all this stuff's happening to us now?
Do you understand? Did God do that to them?
But he's acting like God has let the nation down.
But why has the nation been under attack?
Why has the nation been subject to servitude?
Is because the nation was in rebellion to the things God said
in his word. If you can specifically find it
in Deuteronomy 28 during that particular time period, he said
if you will obey my words and my commands, all these things are
going to happen. You'll be the head, not the
tail. You'll be above and not beneath.
You'll be blessed coming in and blessed going out right?
He all these blessings are going to overtake you.
Your enemy will come before you one way and flee before you what
seven ways? However, He says if you do not
obey my word, then guess what's going to happen?
These things are going to manifest.
And again, because for His name's sake, He wants to keep
His nation established, but He has to still magnify His word
even above that. And mercy may push back judgment
so that it's not manifesting on specific generations.
But if rebellion as we saw in the Old Covenant occurred, then
there comes a day when the Lord said at this point, because my
word is even above my name, although the nation's going to
be taken over and others may blasphemy me.
But yet he was part of the process which really he said,
listen, if I if, if, if you get destroyed, the nations are going
to know that I came against you because of your disobedience.
Are you hearing me? So God's word is extremely
valuable to Him. It is the most valuable thing to
Him, His word. I said His word, and He
magnifies it even above His name.
Isaiah 5511 says it this way. So will my word, which goes
forth from my mouth. It will.
It will what, not return to me empty, without accomplishing
what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for
which I sent it. So if that word comes back to
Him as He requires it to come back, which is coming back in
faith, when a believer speaks the word in faith and it re
enters the ear of the Father, then he is obligated to fulfill
that word. Hallelujah.
I said he is obligated to feel that word.
And here's the thing, he's only feeling the word he sent, which
means he said something, you heard it, and then you repeated
what he said. Then he hears what he let
released coming from your mouth, and then he performs it.
Glory to God. I said glory to God.
Now that is a principle laid out within the Kingdom.
That's how the Kingdom operates. We know in Ecclesiastes 84 says
where the word of the king is, there's power and there is power
with our King who is in heaven. Hallelujah.
And you understand he loves to perform his word.
Oh man, he loves to which we've saw this scripture a couple of
Sundays ago, if you'll remember in Psalms 33 nine.
What did it say? For He spoke and it was He
commanded, and it stood fast. Aren't you glad that when the
Lord speaks, it comes to pass? Now, if you've experienced life
where you've heard something about God, or maybe you even
heard something from God, but yet you're not experiencing what
you've heard about God or or potentially what you've heard
directly from God. It's not God's Word that's
failing. There is something on our end
that is required, that is required in order for that Word
to come to pass. Are you hearing me?
It's a thing called faith, and faith is a firm persuasion.
But I'm going to explain a little bit more here.
Now let's look at this in John chapter 12.
John chapter 12 is at a context of Jesus.
Now Jesus Christ is the Word in the flesh.
The Word became flesh. I said the Word became flesh,
and we call him Jesus. Amen.
He was prophesied that He would come because of the fall of man
and because man fell, the Word had to come so that he could
redeem man, so that man could be put back in his original
position of dominion. According to Genesis 126, Jesus
did not come to the earth so that we would be in awe of God.
Jesus came into the earth as a man anointed of the Spirit, not
to show us what he can do, but to show us what we can do when
we listen to the Spirit of God that we are anointed of and
begin to speak like Jesus spoke. Amen.
So again, this is not about of seeing what Jesus and being in
awe of what Jesus does because he's Jesus now.
It's pretty amazing, yes. However, Jesus is trying to
convey to us this is how your Father in heaven originally
desired you to function and operate before sin ever enter
the world. And this is another step,
another phase of demonstrating His desire for humanity to be
able to function that ultimately in the new heaven and new earth.
After those that disobeyed or cast into the lake of fire,
which is a second death and rebelled and do not want
anything to do with God, then those that have followed him and
serve Him and love him because He first loved us, then we will
be with Him forever solely in the original position that God
placed us in. In Genesis chapter one verse 26,
Jesus said this. In John 12, we're going to start
in verse 8, excuse me, John 8. Let's look at John eight first.
John 8 verse 28 says this. So Jesus said when you lift up
the Son of Man, notice He called himself the Son of man.
He was the Son of God, don't get me wrong, but He's also the Son
of man. He emptied himself of His glory
and He became like a man anointed of the Holy Ghost and
functioning fully as a man anointed by the Spirit following
the voice of the Spirit in the earth.
So Jesus when he says when you lift up the Son of man, then you
will know that I am he and I do what nothing on my own
initiative, but I I what speak these things as the Father
taught me. So the things Jesus is saying is
a direct result of what he is hearing.
What he is saying is a direct result of what he is hearing.
Which means the Son of Man feels like you do.
We have a High Priest that cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, meaning being subject to or being under the
influence of feelings and emotions that are in the earth
and all of the things that attack us to try to cause us to
side with things contrary to God's Word, to stay in in
essence rebellion to to not do His word, but to act on how we
feel about it. And so Jesus himself being
attacked because he was tempted on all accounts like we were,
yet did not sin. And though he had a lot of
pressure put on him, he, he kept his mind in control by the
Spirit to only respond in the situations to how he heard.
So what he is saying is in direct contact to what he is
hearing. He is not addressing anything
any other way and I'm telling you this is the highest way of
living and and it is it is effort.
If it was easy we would all be here.
But in order to get there, you have got to deny your flesh and
you have to deny your feelings in situations that occur in your
life. Jesus is the master at this and
he we can do what he did. All right, let's look at this
other verse in John chapter 12, verse 49 and 50, Jesus says this
again and we use these scriptures.
Why? Because we let everything
confirmed by two or three witnesses.
So the Father has already established a verses.
We've already communicated that his word is settled and he's
going to do that period. He's going to do that.
Jesus says I'm doing what I hear because Dad's word is settled
for I do not speak on my own initiative.
Now let me make a little quick disclaimer before I finish
reading that. If Jesus, who is the one we are
to follow, did not take up the right to say what he wanted to
say, then why do we continue to hold on to this idea that we
should be able to say what we want to say?
Now in the United States, this is a learned behavior because we
say this is what freedom is. Freedom is you can say what you
want to say. It's a free country.
Well, in the realm of the natural, yes, you can.
I get that. And I understand that.
Especially for those that are not even born of God.
Well, all you can do is say what you think.
And the Bible says there's a way that seems right to a man.
But in the end lies death, right?
So again, and even God because your free will will let you
think and say whatever you want to say because he doesn't
control your life. However, life is in his word.
That's why Peter says, where am I going to go?
You have words of you have words of life, right?
So again, we kind of have this in our own natural culture, this
desire to just say what we want to say and don't deny me that,
right? Well, God doesn't deny you that.
However, he is instructing us. You might want to say what I'm
saying because what I say stands forever.
And I'm fully aware of what's going on in your situation and
what you want to say to that person and how you think that
will make you feel after you do that.
But if you say what I say, it brings the greatest remedy that
mean they'll they'll receive it. But it is how I need you to
respond, because my response is the only thing that offers life.
So Jesus said I do not speak on my own initiative, but the
Father himself who sent me has given me a command as to what to
say and what to speak. I know that his commandment is
eternal man. If we know that, then why are we
not like hungry to devour the word, to know the words of life
that are contained within Scripture and to have it written
on our hearts and in our minds and get our mind renewed to it
to where we're like, OK, God, this just happened.
What do I say that That's like our first response.
We need to become first word responders, right?
First word responders? Because if we don't watch out,
it's easy for us to respond again.
There were many parents. First response was to attack the
authority at the game. Why is this?
Because man in the flesh will always attack authority.
Adam attacked God when God came down after he ate the fruit.
You said how do you attack God? He said it's the woman you gave
me, it's the woman you gave me. It's your fault.
But the law was like it's not good for man to be alone.
So now you're telling me it's a lie and the the mandate of being
fruitful and multiply you were going to do all by yourself.
I didn't make you asexual. No, I brought you a help meet
Hallelujah. And I'm not wrong in this.
Oh, but Adam wanted to tell God he was wrong.
Well, that's that woman you gave me.
And he was like, I'll come back to you.
I'm coming back to you. So again Jesus says, listen, I'm
only saying what He told me to say.
You know, his commands are eternal life.
Therefore the things I speak, I speak.
How? Put that verse back up, verse
50. He said, I know that His
commandment is eternal life. Therefore the things I speak, I
speak. How speak, how does he speak?
What's those two words? Say those words again.
Say those words again.
The Father has told me and man,
you know when I read that, guess what?
Who it reminded me of something that I have experienced in a
just as saying, say just as, all right, we're going to come back
to it. Let me give you 2 more verses
before we get to it. In John chapter 12, just so you
know that this is applicable in the Godhead, the Godhead or what
we call the Triune of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, OK? The Father is the ultimate
authority. What he says forever settled.
Jesus is eternally submitted to the Father.
Jesus has never wanted to take power.
He's never wanted to be the first seat, although he's got
to. Never does he want to take the
Father's position. He has totally submitted to the
Father in eternity, are in heaven's realm, and in the
earth. Amen.
The Holy Spirit is not trying to be though, even though He is the
power, He's the power. I mean, when the Father says in
the book of beginnings Genesis 1, then God said that's the
Father. Then God said which saying is
the word, so that's Jesus. Then God said let there be in
the Holy Ghost made it materialize.
I mean, the Holy Spirit's like, I'm doing all the work down
here. I'm the one who actually create,
calls the stars to happen once you said it.
I'm the ones who actually made all the planets once you said
it, I mean he, but it's not a power play.
I said there's no power. They're always in agreement.
I said they're always in agreement 'cause they're one,
they're unified. Amen.
So in Luke or John chapter 12 verse 46 or 26, it says, but the
Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name.
So who's sending the Holy Spirit?
Not Jesus, although Jesus announced him.
Because here's the thing, the Father's doing all the sending
in the 1st place. Jesus did not come because he
wanted to come for us. Jesus came because he was sent
by the Father. Now that doesn't mean Jesus
doesn't want to come for you. It just the original thought
didn't come with him, it comes with the Father.
So when man fell in Genesis 3, Jesus didn't say, let me go now
Jesus did not have a debate with a father and say man, so you
we're going to have to flood the earth now and we're only keeping
no and his family. Why didn't you send me already?
Then do this, no 'cause I only do what he says and He knows
when, 'cause He's already said I'm coming.
He said I'm coming through a woman, through a virgin.
Could it came through the 1st girl born Kemper virgin, the
seed could have come, but the Lord didn't do it.
He said in the fullness of time there was a time that God had
prepared and it was a perfect time.
It was an exact time. It was not a wrong time.
It was the perfect time, the will of God, time that Jesus
came into the planet. Hallelujah.
But the Father also, after Jesus finishes his work, completes it.
There's another coming. I said there's another one.
And they call him the Helper. He calls him the Spirit of
truth, it says. But the Helper or the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send to my name, He will teach
you all things. And I like this.
Bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
So the Holy Spirit is reminding you what the Word says.
The Holy Spirit is to remind you of what the Word says.
Because again, the Word is only saying what the Father says.
Amen. So we see in John chapter 16
verse 13, it says, But when He, the Spirit of truth comes, He
will guide you into all truth. And He will not speak on His own
initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak and He will
disclose to you what is to come. Notice this pattern that
whatever the Father is saying, both the Son and the Holy Spirit
are hearing and then saying. So what do you think that means
for us as children of God? We should be hearing what the
Spirit is saying. Who is listening to the Father?
And we should only be saying that.
And this is the probably the single greatest challenge that
all believers on the planet have, and that is to govern or
regulate your mouth so that it only flows with what the Spirit
is saying. Hallelujah.
Are you hearing what I'm saying? Now, what I'm not saying is that
it you are he's only talk. How can I say this?
Obviously I'm not saying that you can't go to Ted and say Ted,
you have a great haircut and say, well, Lord, can I tell him
he has a great haircut. You understand what I'm saying,
but there are things in the earth that we need to
specifically be hearing from the Father by the Spirit of God and
those are the things we want to make sure that we are doing.
So again, verse 50 of John chapter 12 said Jesus said,
therefore the things I speak, I speak just as say just as say
just as say just as. So Jesus and the Holy Spirit are
in cadence with the Father. Therefore their words were
declaring his will on earth as it is in heaven.
Now when I was in the army, we did cadence.
How many of you were in the military stand to your feet
because veteran's day was on Monday.
We obviously recognize you last week, but thanks to all our
veterans here. Amen.
Stay standing for me. Stay standing because I'm going
to need you here in a minute, right?
We're going to start with you. All right.
Now of all that are standing, how many of you remember doing
cadence? All right, OK.
Now, cadence is something that we do in the military for very
specific reasons, OK? And I'm going to give you the
purpose of of cadence again. Y'all stood at attention for a
long time, longer than what I'm going to do.
So you're going to be all right. OK.
Now, some of you saying I'm a lot older now, Pastor Earl.
Yeah, but you're able, because you had mental resolve to be
able to stand at attention for quite some time in formation.
And again, I'm not going to keep you that long, but I do need to
say a few things and need you to help me.
The purpose of cadence, OK, Number one, it maintains unity.
Cadence maintains unity #2 it maintains mental focus.
And for any of those who were in basic training at Fort Jackson,
SC, you know the hill and you know that hill that they take
you at basic training up that hill and they get you into what
they say. Double time, double time March.
And next thing. Now we got the run cadence
kicking and now we're going up the hill.
And you understand, we don't like running, but they are
conditioning us. And so when they begin to see
that the troops need their next one, it provides morale.
It builds morale, so they'll start singing a song because
when you sing the song, you begin to get the mental clarity
so that you're not thinking about the pain in your body and
you're just going the next step. The next step because there's a
mission to accomplish. There's somewhere we got to be
Hallelujah. I said Hallelujah.
So with that being said, the cadence will also cause you to
maintain pace because not everybody is feeling the same
yet. It'll give you a pace setter and
it can get you so those that are a little weaker can come up.
Those that are a little stronger is helping to pull and next
thing you know will finally continue to progress together.
Because it doesn't do any good if one goes out by themselves
and the other one gets because there's a a motto within all
military branches. Leave no one behind.
All right. And in the church, it should be
even more so. It maintains unity, it maintains
mental focus, it maintains pace, it boosts morale #5 it builds
camaraderie and teamwork. It's what a cadence does, all
right. And this last one, which is
super awesome because the first cadence happened in the
Revolutionary War, was the very first cadence given was in the
Revolutionary War. And it was designed to to reload
the muskets because during the Revolutionary War, they would
get on both sides, line up. And so the cadence would cause
them to do a reload so that they all would all do at the same
time. They would stand in order to all
fire at the same time. So in essence, cadence
synchronizes the deployment of weapons of warfare and could it
be the church tends to suffer the schemes of the devil is
because we're not staying in cadence on how to synchronize
the deployment of our weapons of warfare because if we're not
saying the same thing. Are you hearing me now?
For all those who standing up, we're going to give an example
today and I'm in the Army. So for the Navy, Marines, Coast
Guard and Air Force, I don't have any of your cadences.
You are an inferior branch anyway.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
We're all on the same team. But that's why that military
they, I don't even don't even mention the US Space Force.
Is anybody in the Space Force here?
Are you in the Space Force? No, you're just in the Air
Force. OK.
All right. Just checking.
I've not literally met a Space Force person yet, but I want to
one day because it is now a branch.
Amen. I think we're supposed to greet
them like this or something. No, I'm kidding.
I don't know. I don't know.
Is that how they salute? I don't know.
I haven't. I don't know.
Right. Hallelujah.
Because you understand those that are in military, We are, we
are veterans first. At the end of the day, we are on
the same team for the same country.
And in our homeland, we may banter about who's better,
better, but when it comes to war, we are synchronizing in
cadence. Are you hearing me?
We are synchronizing in cadence. There's a particular cadence
that I remember Young put it up on the screen so you guys can do
this one and again I'm doing with the Army.
All right now y'all know how this goes.
We say the first line and then you're going to be in cadence
with it. OK, so let's give it a a
demonstration to our congregation.
Now, you better act like you're back in basic so you understand
the volume we're talking about here, all right?
Because don't make me put you on the front lean and rest position
in front of everybody today, all right?
Because you can't smoke a rock. All right?
Ready. They say that in the Army, the
coffee's mighty fine. They say that in the Army it
looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine.
It looks like muddy water. Oh Lord, I want to go, but they
won't let me go. Hey.
Oh, y'all like that? They say that in the army the
chow is mighty fine. A chicken jumped off the table
and started marking time. Oh Lord, I want to go, but they
won't let me go. Hey now I'm going to.
Tell you right now, there's nothing like a platoon going
across the base in Unity. Now notice these men that are
talking right now, they cannot sing the majority of them, they
cannot carry a tune. But do you notice how we sound
together? Now if we could do this in
praise, cause praise is really a cadence time in ServiceNow.
Would you like to participate in the next line?
Come on, stand up church, get it Attention, please.
Now you heard the veterans. Let's see how the body of Christ
can do you ready. They say that in the army the
biscuits are mighty fine. One world off the table and
killed a friend of. Mine.
Oh Lord, I want to go. But then it won't let me go.
Hey, man. We sounding good.
Y'all want to do another one? We did.
I got another one ready. All right.
All you got to do is echo what I say how I say it.
I'm a steamroller baby and I'm rolling down the line.
So you better get out of my way. Before I roll all over you and
we'll do the church version, I made a church version.
I'm a steamroller Satan. I speak His word, not mine, so
you better get out of my way before I roll all over you,
before I stomp all over you. Oh, come on.
I got anybody in VPK here? Anybody got any VPK kids in
here? VPK kids?
You got a VPK child in here? OK, I'm talking my in here, OK,
because I don't want to ruin their little No, don't go get
them. We want them to stay innocent.
Young, be seated. Thank you.
Isn't that fun? That's what we are to do with
our about voice. We are to do cadence to the
Lord's word. And it is a praise to him.
All right, It's a praise to him. So there was another cadence.
I'll close with this one and I won't make you sing it, but it's
called the yellow bird, all right.
And so when I my kids growing up, I would do the yellow bird
with them. All right.
And I'm going to give you the Army version first, all right,
This is the Army version. All right.
You can you can say it back with me if you like to.
A yellow bird with a yellow bill was sitting on my window seal.
I coached him in with a piece of bread and then I've smashed his
little head. Now we're in the Army people,
and they're trying to condition us to go to war and defeat an
enemy. So you got to kind of.
So Brianna does this in our VPK preschool, but there's a
preschool version. So parents, do not be shocked
when you start hearing your child come home, say a yellow
bird, and you start passing out. OK, so Brianna's version is a
yellow bird. Now, the last statement is
usually not echoed because everyone already knows it.
So we just say it together, you know?
And then I smash his little head, right?
OK, so that's how that goes. There's not an echo, but I'm
going to do the last one because I want you to hear it.
I don't want to give it away before it starts, so I'll just
say it by myself, OK? All right.
A yellow bird with a yellow bill was sitting on my window seal.
I coached him in with a piece of red, and then I pet his little
head. Right.
Am I right in that suite? And all the VP cares are so
sweet. Then when they enlist in the
army one day they'll be like, my VPK teacher was a liar.
She was a liar. Oh my God, they killed the
birds. They killed the birds.
Remember that Brianna when it's all said and done?
Remember that John chapter 14, John chapter 14 verses 10 to 14,
Jesus says do do you not believe that I am in the Father and the
Father is in me? The words that I say to you, I
do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father
abiding in me does his works believe me that I am in the
Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise believe because of the
works themselves and again the works are direct result of Jesus
saying what he is hearing. He goes on then and says truly,
truly. I say to you say, say to me.
I say to you, he who believes in me.
The works that I do He will do also, and greater works than
these He will do because I go to the Father, Whatever you in my
name, that I will, so that the Father may be glorified in the
Son. If you ask me anything in my
name, I will do it now. Based upon the scriptures we've
read, you understand anything you're asking is a direct result
of only what you are hearing from the Spirit who is
communicating what He's hearing from the Son, who's
communicating what he's hearing from the Father.
So this verse should be working in our lives all the time
because if we will develop our spiritual hearing to hear only
what the Spirit is saying about the situations and circumstances
and challenges we're having in life, and we get in cadence.
And the thing about a cadence, you know, is all my veterans can
testify is that we didn't do a cadence once.
I mean, we would. And the reason why these, a lot
of these get committed to our memory is because it was an
everyday confession, an everyday cadence that we were just.
So a lot of times when you're in the word and quoting the word,
really what you're doing is you're bringing a cadence to the
earth. You're reminding the earth that
that word that's in heaven, that's forever settled, it's
just as powerful down here in the planet.
And so you're going to be saying cadence day in and day out.
You're going to be speaking the word only.
And Jesus, like, listen, I'm telling you, I'm saying to you
those who believe in me and faith comes by hearing and
hearing from the word of God. So I've heard, now I speak and
because what I speak comes to pass, it's because I'm in
cadence with my heavenly Father. I'm only saying what he's saying
and I'm authorized to do it because Jesus has conquered it
all. He is the king of everything and
his name holds all authority. Hallelujah.
So the word in your mouth is the same as the word in his mouth.
If you are firmly persuaded of the word, if you're firmly
persuaded when you hear from heaven in your life, it, it is
that way because he said he will do what he said.
He said that word doesn't return to him void.
So again, the reason why he said the word that was sent forth
from my mouth shall not return unto me.
Empty your void, but it will accomplish that which I sent it
to do. In essence, he's saying a yellow
bird and then you are echoing our in cadence, speaking it back
to his ears and he performed. So again, if he says by your
stripes you're here and you say echo are getting cadence with
that, that that cadence of healing.
And there's a lot of scripture that is just a cadence of
healing for your body because the word does good like a
medicine. It becomes a cadence inside your
spirit that will then affect your veins and affect your lungs
and affect your organs and affect your muscle tissue and
affect your bone marrow, affect your brain.
Why it becomes a cadence? It becomes a sound on the inside
of you that God now has to perform it in your body.
When you're firmly persuaded, I said when you're firmly
persuaded. Last two Scriptures and we'll be
done in Mark Chapter 11 verse 22 says this.
So Jesus answered and said to them have faith in God.
One translation says have God's faith or the God kind of faith
and we can have God's faith because Jesus said in the
previous passage of Scripture, he says, now I'm saying to you
that if you believe in me, the works I do you'll do and greater
because I go to the Father as I was led by the Spirit on the
earth and did all these things, hearing from heaven, you are to
be led by the Spirit because those who are sons of God, they
are led by the Spirit of God. I hear him, I do what he says,
and it's not my work or my individual effort.
The effort I have is believing without doubting, is believing
with that. And that's a powerful work now
and it's required. It is a requirement for it to
come to pass. It's a requirement now somebody
else's faith can work for you for seasons.
Are you hearing me but God ultimately wants us to rise to
the occasion where we believe we receive as mark 11 here 22 to 24
says for surely I say to you again, he's speaking so let's
get in cadence. Whoever says to this mountain be
removed and cast in the into the sea and does not doubt in his
heart, but believes that those things which he says will be
done. He will have whatever he says.
Now notice Jesus said, now I'm saying to you that if you're
saying because you've heard because faith is in God.
So I'm saying that if you heard to speak to this mountain and
you were firmly persuaded that you heard the Father say speak
to this mountain, move and go to the sea.
I'm talking a natural one. Now, I'm not talking
figuratively, although it can be figuratively and spiritually
speaking, because a lot of times we're in situations that seem
like a mountain to us. And you know what?
If you speak the word over that situation, that spiritual
mountain or spiritual mountain of a situation will be removed
and be tossed out of the way. You don't have to go around it.
You can just move it out of the way.
OK, But he's saying if you don't down your heart, if you're
saying this, then whatever you say, these are cadence.
You're saying whatever you ask, meaning your cadence, your
cadence, your cadence, whatever. So those things that he says
will be done. He will have whatever he says.
So every time my cadence keeps going, I'm going to have it.
Verse 24. Therefore, I say to you,
whatever things you ask, when you pray, believe that you
receive them and you will have them.
The reason why a lot of times our cadence once we're asking
the Father, Father, how do we handle this situation or, or how
do we, you know, have this resource provided for or how,
how is it that you're healing my body?
Whatever the case may be, you give the word on the matter,
then you like Father in the name of Jesus because you asked the
Father in his name. Father in the name of Jesus, I'm
in cadence with you. I'm not speaking my own word.
I'm not saying my own thing. I'm not bringing my own line
because if I was marching with a platoon and somebody else was
throwing out some other words that doesn't provide you, it
would mess up the whole formation.
Just one getting out, getting out of rhythm, getting out of of
what's being said, it can disrupt everything.
And so I'm not here to speak mine.
And even if what you say to me, it blows my mind and I'm like,
how in the world I can't even conceive how that could come to
pass doesn't matter. It's not for you to figure that
out. It's only required for you to
believe. And if you will get in cadence
to what he says when you pray, Father, in the name of Jesus, I
believe you at your word when you spoke to me by the Spirit,
such and such and whatever I have that in Jesus name.
Now everything else becomes the cadence of that prayer, which
is, you know, thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord
of whatever it is that you're you're believing God.
You know, when we were believing God to purchase the mall and all
this property, I would just come on the land in cadence.
Thank you, Lord for 2121 US One South.
Thank you, Lord. I was just in cadence.
I know that we have it. I know it's ours.
I know you're already brought it to us.
I know you've already delivered it into our hands.
We are possessing it to serve our community.
I thank you. I was just in cadence.
I didn't get out of cadence to say I don't know if it's going
to work. I don't know how we're going to
do this, man. That seems like we might not get
it. I never got out of cadence.
She don't get out of cadence. You stay with cadence.
You just keep saying it. You just keep saying it because
he's the one who's delivered that word to you first.
Peter 125 says it this way. Come on up.
Worship team says this. But the word of the Lord
endures. But the word of the Lord
endures. And this is the word which was
preached to you this morning. Now, before we rejoice, and
again I say rejoice because I want us to practice a cadence
before we go because again, as pastor Marcy said, didn't know
what I was doing today. But she says we're literally
quoting Scripture here. In fact, there's another
scripture that says this. This is the day that the Lord
has. I will and come on now.
Now let's do cadence. So follow what I say.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Now I'm telling you, if you had that volume during praise, that
kind of intensity, and again, all my vendors can let you know,
there were many times at 4:30 in the morning before the rooster
had a chance to wake up. Listen, we are waking up the
rooster to crow for the rest of the world because the Army was
right. We do more before 9:00 AM than
most people do all day, OK? And so there were many mornings
that we do not want to say a thing, but man, did it help wake
you up, get you focused, get you moving.
And it empowered you with those are, I mean, I don't even know
enough about you, but I am so much more connected to you
because, man, we are singing the same song.
We're in step, we're in cadence. We're not out of rhythm, man.
We're making this thing happen. I'm becoming stronger.
I'll give you this testimony. I was in my last PT test in my
first six months of that of training when I entered the
Florida Army National Guard. I went away to basic, you know,
for the 8 weeks, two months. From there we went from Fort
Jackson, SC to Augusta, GA, where I was in the signal core
as a telecommunication repair. I did electronic repair and when
I was in there I was a four month school.
At the end you have to pass APT test to finish all your
qualifications to graduate and then they take send you back to
your home unit. Well honestly I was sick and
tired of running. I am in great shape, don't get
me wrong. I've done enough push ups and
sit ups. I mean I could do the push ups.
I can Max push ups in a minute and you had two minutes.
I can Max it 80, get up and be done.
Sit ups never maxed them. I think the highest I ever got
was like 87. I had to do 92 at my age
bracket. OK, anyway, I had those pass and
here we are running 2 miles. That's all he got to do and I'm
running. But I'm telling you, mentally I
am wasted. I was wasted.
I guess I just wanted to go. I was just done, just done.
And so I'm and I'm I am a whole half a lap behind my buddy from
basic. Clark is his last name.
He had the nickname Shadow. I can't tell you my nickname
because it's I can't tell you it unfortunately.
It's unfortunate. Anyway, with that being said,
he's a half a lap ahead, so Shadow's up there and I'm and I
don't know, something Shadow just knew and he said why did
y'all call him Shadow? Well, he didn't talk a whole lot
and he was my buddy so he was always with me.
I was the sanguine personality. So I was kind of like, you know,
I would talk. I was first platoon leader.
I had no issues there, right? Could take charge of certain
situation, no issue. So, but he would be right there.
So they can end up nicknaming shadows.
So he's a half a lap ahead. I don't know, maybe you know,
it's eight times around the track.
I don't know whether we were a mile, probably a mile, maybe a
mile and a half maybe. But for whatever reason, he
realized I'm not on pace. And if you don't pass, you get
cycled back. That means they push you back
two weeks and and over not just fell into a PT test of which I
came in to that post. The first PT test I did was so I
did. I scored so well, three
hundreds, perfect. I was like 28290 somewhere in
that range, you know, and I thought my drill Sergeant gonna
tell me how awesome I was, but that's a different story.
That is in the book Dominionaire.
That's coming out next year, but it's not going to be titled
that. But you understand.
OK, With that being said, he notices, so he slows down for
me. He catches up.
I catch up with him and he's like, what's wrong?
I don't even want to talk to the guy.
You know what's wrong? You're not going to make it.
He's like, look, this is it. It's the last one.
He's called me by my nickname. I can't tell you what it was.
OK, it ended with kicker. That's all I can say.
And I'm running, I'm running, OK, I'm running.
And he's like, what are you doing?
So he kicks into cadence. Now, if you know anything about
cadence, when it when it comes to running, it takes more out of
you because you're using long. It's one thing to just breathe.
It's another thing to talk while you're running.
So here he goes with the cadence and it makes me want to cry
because he done that for me. That's amazing.
And so that cadence started kicking in, man.
And I'm like, here, I'm not talking.
I mean, I just want to lay down and die because not that I'm not
fit, I just mentally gone, but he got into my mind.
He got into my reserves. He he in inspire and because
he's saying he started singing at a pace that I didn't even
realize I was going faster. But man, when we came around the
last corner and I saw the finish line.
I'm a preach about this. A little bit later, I took off
now I left him. He said, well, that's rude.
Well, we were going to all pass anyway, OK, And he didn't mind,
but he didn't have a kick because he had given me of
himself to get to the finish line that we both go pass.
So he wasn't going to fail at my expense.
However, He gave of himself so that I could get to victory and
that's what Cadence will do. It will get you over in a place
of victory. So listen, when when our worship
team or when you come in, I know there's times that you don't
want to finish the service, but just look at the crazy one
beside you with veins popping out of their out of their neck
when they are worshiping the Lord and just getting Cadence.
