Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
from St. Augustine, FL.
Now enjoy this message. In Matthew chapter 25, starting
in verse one, let me read through this particular account.
We'll go all the way to verse 13.
It says in the Kingdom of heaven because the Bible's about a
king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring.
It's not a religious document. We're not in a religion.
We're in a government. It's called the Kingdom.
God's King's dominion, all right, He has a domain.
He owns everything. He created the heavens and the
earth. And man has gotten him religion
because he likes to define God. But when God defines himself,
you'll realize He's the king. Amen.
And he sits on the seat of love. It is his nature.
He is life. When he speaks, he speaks life.
Are you hearing me? And anything contrary to what he
says becomes death. Then it's rebellion.
God doesn't want that to take place because his words bring
life. OK, says in the Kingdom of
heaven will be compared to 10 virgins who took their lamps and
went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish.
Five were prudent, For when the foolish took their lamps, they
took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flask along
with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was
delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.
But at midnight there was a shout.
Behold, the bridegroom come out to meet him.
Then all those virgins rose, trimmed their lamps the fullest
said to the prudent give us some of your oil, for our lamps are
going out. But the prudent answer No, there
will not be enough for us, and you too go instead to the
dealers and buy some for yourself.
And while they were going away to make the purchase, the
bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in, those who
were what red. He went in with him to the
wedding feast, and the door was shut.
Later the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open
up to us. But he answered, Truly, I say to
you, I do not know you. That means I'm not intimately
acquainted with you. Be on alert then, for you do not
know the day nor the hour. Now I'm bringing some things to
our remembrance. In fact, Peter and Paul broke
both in a context of Scripture says to stir you up by way of
reminder. You know it doesn't bother me.
I love to do this. I'm not here to tell you
something you don't know. I'm doing it to stir you up.
Why? Because you need to be reminded.
In fact, the first thing that Jesus said in introducing the
Holy Spirit is that he would bring things to your remembrance
that he said. So the Holy Ghost is his.
The first thing he's doing is to try to bring you.
When I say first, obviously he's got to reveal something outside.
After revelations come, then he wants to keep you in
remembrance. Are you hearing me?
So again, once you're hearing something I know.
Then the Holy Ghost knows you have heard.
So he's going to remind you. Well, I didn't know.
I don't remember. Well, the Holy Ghost does.
I do this when I lose stuff. Lord, you know where this is at.
I know you know. I mean, if I get quiet, he'll
talk to me and he'll tell me exactly where I left the keys
again. Right now, you understand,
Apple's trying to be God. Because now I can just push my
little watch and find my my phone, you know, and it beeps.
And now this new one, man, it gives me like within feet.
I was looking for it today. I hit it and I'm like beep,
beep, beep. I said OK, I don't know, it's
like, where was that at, right? So I started going well because
I have a two-story house. I was getting closer, but I was
on the wrong floor. I was like saying 1210 feet and
I'm like, I don't see. And I hit it again.
And I it's faint and I'm like, well, it's obviously not it not
here. So I'm like, I must have took it
upstairs and sure enough I did. Amen.
But the Holy Ghost knows everything.
Amen. And he will bring things to your
remembrance. In this passage of scripture of
the 10 virgins, we could see that there are two things
operating with oil. Pastor Marcy and I, as we've
been going through prayer and we've all been participating,
You know, there's been a little bit of a conversation about oil.
When she brought it up the other night about you need to do an
oil change. Now, again, that doesn't mean
you change spirits. It's in essence they're saying
that the oil, the reason why you keep be being filled is because
the Holy Spirit does come in and start dealing with impurity.
Let me just say this when you want to say I want to be on fire
for God. If you take it in context to the
Scripture, what you are asking the Holy Spirit to do is to
reveal things wrong in your life.
The fire of God is to burn off. It is not so that you can be
passionate, but we use it as that man.
We need the. Fire of the Holy.
Ghost. Well, good.
Let him come to tell you. Everything that ain't right.
With you, So you can deal with that and burn that off, right?
And people crying out further. I'm like, what else is wrong
with you? I mean, how many firings do we
got to put you through, right? In one sense, anyway, the fire
of the Holy Ghost is the burn off impurities, OK.
And so with that being said, the oil helps push impurities out
because you'll see one of the properties of oil is it's highly
flammable. Are you hearing me?
And it is to do that. So you want to be being filled.
Why? Because the Holy Ghost will come
in and touch this. You'll say, Yes, Sir, I'll deal
with that. Why?
Because it is just making you better.
It's tweaking your performance. OK, so they that the life of God
and the nature of God and the culture of the Kingdom of God
that is in another realm but exists in this realm through us,
can be clearly seen to all the world because the whole planet
is looking for the Kingdom of God.
This is why all nations are in an uproar.
All they want is a better government.
China thinks they're the best government, so they want to take
over. Russia thinks their government's
better than Ukraine, and they want to take over land and they
want to establish dominance. Iran.
Wants to do this is just wanting to be the best nation because
they think their ideals are the best.
When all the that is is just looking for the Kingdom of God,
they're trying to find it among men, OK.
And so in this context of Matthew 25, we see that oil is
in play. For five, they have an oil
crisis. For the others, they have an oil
reserve. Now I've ministered along the
line of the oil crisis. Today.
I want to minister along the line of the oil reserve, OK.
And I want to bring you back to a particular prophecy that
Brother Hagen had years ago concerning what's happening.
Because God will allow men and women of God that are under the
anointing according to the fivefold ministry.
And again, what's the fivefold ministry?
It's just Saints that God has has ordained for a very specific
work within his church and they have a very specific anointing.
You go to the university, you're going to have people in
different positions and based upon that position allows them
to operate with different type of power.
OK, by all rights, they're all a part of the university, but they
all don't function the same. Same thing happens in the
church. OK, in the church, same thing, a
place of business. You know, I could give you many
examples, but in the church there are five full ministry
called the the apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher and evangelist.
And there's a specific type of anointing that God gives those
individuals within those offices so that they can, you know, help
the church and edify it. One is the office of the
prophet. And the prophet has typically
functions within the gifts that they can see things in the
future, OK. And when we say see things in
the future, we're saying see things in the future from God's
perspective. Now, I'll just say this, There
are other spirits that you can see into, but you can't see.
Futuristically familiar spirits only see present and no past
because they've been around. Are you hearing me?
But with God, he has the ability to see because he knows the end
from the beginning or he knows the beginning from the end.
So again, we're all on God's light rewind, so to speak.
He's just like watching it all over again because he saw it
before he even spoke. OK, With that being said, he saw
some things by the Spirit, OK, in the spirit concerning things
in the last days. And although I'm not going to
take the time as I read this to you to plug all the scriptures
within this, in the context that this would take place, he kind
of highlights some himself. But at the end of the day, I
could dissect this completely out and show you that this is a
scriptural context, is what I'm saying.
But he says this. You're right on the verge.
Right on the verge of the greatest move and manifestation
of the spirit of God that this world has ever seen.
Do you believe that? OK, five people believe that.
Do you believe that? That we're on the verge?
Because if you don't believe that, then you won't get it.
Because you only get what you believe.
Jesus said only. Because if you don't believe,
even though it's available, you don't get it.
Because Jesus Christ has died and paid the payment for all
humanity. But not all of humanity gets it,
because they don't all believe. So do you believe?
That we are on the verge of the greatest move of the
manifestation of God. Well, the Scripture says we are
OK, he says. You're right on the edge of it,
like standing on the Creek bank, about to jump in, and if and if
you'll give the more earnest heed unto things which you have
heard not only of things you've heard about faith, and things
you've heard about healing, and things you've heard about the
Holy Spirit, and things you've heard about angels, and things
you've heard about divine visitations.
For remember that it was prophesied of Joel of old, that
in the last day said the Lord, I'll pour out my spirit on all
flesh, and and your young men will see visions, and your old
men will dream dreams, And upon my handmaidens I will pour out
my spirit, and they will prophecy.
So not only will it be that the young men will prophecy, but the
young women will prophecy, and the anointing and the outflow of
the Spirit of God will be great and amazing in those days.
For there will be visitations of angels.
I wonder why the Lord's having us go down that track this year.
Be not afraid, he said, but take heed unto these areas.
For Satan himself has at times come as an Angel of light.
But examine things in light of the Scripture, and walk in the
light of the word of God that keep you from deception.
And sometimes the Angel will give you direction even in your
finance, and even direction to save your lives, as in the case
of the shipwreck of Paul, and direction concerning ministry as
the salvation of Cornelius and his household.
And Philip as the Angel, spoke to him to go down to Gaza, and
the Ethiopian was converted. Those are three separate
scriptures. And so in these days there shall
come a mighty manifestation of the Spirit.
And the work that God intended should be done in these last
days shall be accomplished. They're going to be
accomplished. Now, how many people are going
to be working that? I can't tell you that.
But who's working? God will anoint.
Are you hearing me? He goes on to say.
For the time is short and things must be speeded up and and
you'll learn much faster spiritual things than those of
yesteryear. And you'll develop much faster
and it'll be said of someday virtually matured overnight.
Now let me stop right here, because some of y'all have just
gotten been born again, not too long.
Some of you got saved not too long ago.
Now I have hope for you. Meaning you can grow up fast.
Growing up spiritually has two elements to it and you cannot
bypass them. The first element is the
studying of the word. You have to be a student of the
word. You have to be in the word
sensitive spirit, not taking your ideas into the word, but
saying Lord, reveal to me what your word says and if there's
any thinking I have contrary to that word, I get rid of it.
That's a requirement. The second thing is, is then
tests, trials. Trouble is coming.
You cannot avoid it, but it doesn't matter because you are
the champion when conflict arises, Jesus said.
In this life you're going to have trials and tribulation but
be of what good cheer. So you're not going to reach
maturity outside of some obstacles.
Now here's the cool thing. If the if, if he is saying by
prophetic word, which I would say based upon the scripture of
Jesus, going out to use a the Kingdom of heaven is like a man
who went out to hire people to get in his field, remember.
And he hired some at the first of the day and he says what?
I'll pay you this. They negotiated.
What are you going to pay us? We'll do with denarius.
He said great come. He goes back at 3 hours later.
You need to come work. I'll give you, denarius said.
OK. He went six hours later, You
know, boom. And then the ninth hour and then
the 11th hour. I mean, one hour worth of work.
These guys are just wanting to get in the field somewhere so
they can stay with the harvest. It's not one day work.
This is. He called me into his field
tomorrow. I have a job.
So he said, why you standing around?
Nobody's called as you can come work my field because I thought
I'd already hired enough. You know, I've done, you know,
fours whatever. 5 hirings already at the beginning, 3:00,
Three hours in. Six hours in.
Nine hours in. You're my 5th higher and I
realized I need more people to help this harvest get in.
So when they all go into the harvest field, now the one.
Who worked an hour? Still worked.
Are you hearing what I'm saying? He still worked.
He still had to do whatever they were, you know, harvesting.
I don't know what it is, but he still had to work.
He still. Got under the trial of laboring.
According to what the master had said, if you'll do this, there's
a reward. And so he was believing that
after this hour, I'm going to get something by faith.
Oh, y'all by. Faith.
He was saying if I go in this, guys not going to cheat me, he's
going to give me at least a wage for that hour.
I don't know what, but whatever, I'm glad.
And he's hired me to come tomorrow.
So you understand all these people were working for free.
He didn't pay them ahead of time.
They were expecting it by faith that it would show up by the end
of the day. So they put in all the labor
before they got the reward. This is how faith functions,
people. Again, you don't get it first
and say, OK, now I can do it. You hear what what he says he
would do. You agree to it.
You begin the process of acting as if it's done, and then you
get All of y'all are doing this now as employees anyway.
You know, oh, I make this much. No.
You work every day for free because they pay you later say
Amen. Anyway, the world functions in
this kind of faith. OK, right.
So the the fact of the matter is the 11th hour guy, the that
worked one hour, he was under the trial of doing what was
asked. Then when the day ended, he said
line them up. Give me the guy that came in
last first and he gave him the same wage, which means he was
able to acquire a denarius faster than the one.
It took him 12 hours to get the same amount.
Now the one who had 12 hours, what happened to him?
He got a little upset about it. I cannot believe that you have
paid that person the same wage as me and I was out here all day
sweating, right? And what did the master say?
So are you jealous of my generosity because I've not
cheated you? I gave you what I my word said I
would give you. You agreed to this, so why are
you upset that I'm giving the same measure just because they
went under the trial too? So my point is, is that you can
mature quickly, but it will not be without opposition.
To what you're believing, for you're going to have to face
that, and the church is not. Failing you, nor is God, is.
If you want something to take place and it's not happening on
your time frame, that's called faith and you embrace.
Oh, I got this test up. Oh, I'll pass this thing.
I'm not going to waver. I'm going to stand right here.
My God's going to provide. I'm not going to let this thing
go. You know.
It's going to come to pass, bro. And then you.
Stay with it. You deal with all the emotions
and you stay with the word. Come on.
Are y'all hearing me? Yeah, that's good.
Preaching pastor. All right, so they this is the
part I love the most in this particular prophecy.
And they shall go forth to speak in the name of the Lord because
they understood the principles of faith.
They'll understand here it is the principles of the Kingdom,
and they'll understand the laws of God and they'll operate
minister in that area and nothing will be hidden them.
So when you get a foundation of faith and then you begin to keep
tapping into the Kingdom and the laws of God are in essence, that
just means whatever God says. That's law, meaning he's legally
bound to it. And if you'll minister in those,
nothing will be hid from you, he went on to say in that
particular night. And I do believe it actually
applies here today. And though there were some who
stand here now and have operated in a measure in those areas and
times past, and because they've let these things slip, they
themselves in ministry and in life have slipped.
We've been preaching the Kingdom since 2009, and I know some
people are slipping. They're slipping.
Why? Because they didn't give earnest
heed. In fact, there were some
testimonies concerning the 21 days of prayer and fasting, and
this one, one testimony I thought was extremely powerful.
They said I realized that I wasn't the person I was two
years ago, and I'm just happy that I'm back to being that
person. Come on, come on.
Because life gets busy and the enemy is very subtle at trying
to get you off course. Wow, is that what time it is?
Glory. To God.
So in these twenty you got examined.
Where are you at? Can you look?
Back in your past and see a person who was more fervent for
the Lord, dedicated, passionate. And if you could and can, then
you're like, man, I I got at least get back there.
And here's what he went on, Sidney says.
And they shall be restored. God wants to restore you.
That's all he wants to do. He only wants you at your best.
Amen. He said.
Yeah, even they shall even be restored this night.
Why? Because how fast is it?
How fast does it take to repent? Come on now, y'all, help me out.
I'm not here to lecture you. I'm here to bring impartation.
And we participate together in what the Holy Ghost is saying
and moving in our midst. How fast when you were standing
at the door of the cross in your guilt, shame all your sin and
heavy burdens. Depressed.
I mean, just like life ain't even worth living.
And you said, Jesus, I believe that you came and died and rose
again. I call you Lord.
I confess my sin. I I repent of my I don't even
know all I did. I'm just forgive me of all that
stuff. I thank you that you do.
I call you Lord. And he snatches.
You into the Kingdom and how did you feel when you got through
the door? You like then you happy, light
free, glowing, smiling. I mean, it was like, bam, done.
Then believers starting to slip and they still look like, ER,
you doing all right? Yeah, praise the Lord, you know,
look, God can restore all things.
I know, like you have more guilt because you didn't do it right
on the other side. I mean, the Lord knows you can
mess up on this side. He knows that you can draw away
from him on this side. He knows some of you trying to
bust back the down the door and go back to the other side.
But in forgiveness, it's like you've never done it and you
know if. He hadn't holding the world in
their sin, don't you know, as a child of God, when you ask for
forgiveness, he's like, I'm glad you did that.
Cause man, there was really no reason for you to ever be in
that position. I'm just glad we got here.
Now let's go on, I said. Let's go on.
And he's hugging and kissing all over you and excited about you
and giving you your purpose and destiny.
And let's keep this thing going, because the gifts and callings
of God are without repentance. This is your destiny anyway.
I just want you to get to it. So.
How fast can it be, even this night?
Then he goes on and says, And the manifestation shall come,
and the glory of the Lord shall rest upon it, and the rest upon
thee and his glory shall be seen around about the cloud of God
which will come and fill the house.
And yeah, it seems as though the whole building is filled with
smoke. Because, you see, the glory of
God shall be a manifestation, and great great shall be the
noise thereof. And praise and adoration shall
go up from his people, and it shall be a noise abroad.
And men from afar shall hear it, and men from afar shall hear of
it, and men from afar shall come to behold it.
For the Lord shall be I love, this shall be a manifestation in
those days in all ways that he has ever manifested himself,
both in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.
You know, he's done some pretty amazing things in the Old
Covenant. Plus, though the multiplying of
the Spirit and the power of God in these days, man, this thing
just gets me excited, He said. For men, as men grow more wicked
and more wicked, and as Satan, because he knows his time is
short and all his cohorts and evil spirits go about as never
before to devour, so the power of God, the glory of God, shall
be increased and shall be multiplied.
It will flow. Come on, we flow it, I said, we
flow it. Are we flowing?
We flow, he said. It will flow like a mighty
river. Flow like a mighty river.
Yeah, the spirit of God will flow like a mighty river.
And many, not only hundreds, not only thousand, but millions,
will be swept into the flow of that river.
And and shall flow forth in praise and glory for the glory.
For the glory of the Lord is in manifestation.
The glory of the Lord will be seen of the face of the Saints.
The glory of God shall shine forth until men will walk into a
place of business and people will fall on their knees and cry
out to God. Though be said, nothing come on
that is so good. And women will walk into a place
of business, and people will fall on their knees and cry out
to God, though she opened not her mouth.
For the glory of God will shine through.
Yeah, the glory of God will shine through.
For the manifestation of His power and the manifestation of
His glory is is here. It is reserved unto this hour.
I said, there's an oil reserve. I said there's an oil reserve.
Let me finish it, though a couple more paragraphs.
And if it could be told, if it could be told in a way that you
can see it even with the eyes of your spirit.
If it could be displayed at the this moment before you, a
tangible form that you could see with your physical eye, it would
be very difficult for you to believe that which will shortly
come to pass. It would be very difficult for
you to accept it. But as you walk with the Lord,
here's the key. You should write these down.
But as you number one, walk with the Lord, #2, as you prepare
your heart, #3 as you feed upon the word #4, as you listen to
what the Spirit of God says, your heart shall be prepared and
your mind will be changed until you flow with the supernatural
as naturally as a bird flies through the air.
And you'll flow in the supernatural as naturally as a
fish will swim in the water. You'll flow in the
supernaturally, as naturally as you breathe the very air.
You will not be conscious of your faith.
You'll not be conscious of what's going on around you, but
rather you'll be conscious of the flow of the Spirit.
And he will manifest himself and will accomplish that which he
desires for you. See, these are the last days.
Whoo, ma, ma, ma, And this is the end time.
And what is done must be done quickly, and it will be done.
And the hearts of many will be calls to rejoice.
So rejoice, rejoice, Be glad. And praise the Lord and prepare
your hearts, and let him prepare you for that which he has
prepared for you. So walk in it.
You shall walk in it. You shall run, you shall fly.
Literally spiritually speaking, you shall enjoy the fullness.
Come on, say fullness. Come on, say fullness.
Fullness of what? Of that which is provided for
you. In fact, the Bible talks about
us. The the the fivefold ministry is
to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry right until we
all grow into maturity so that the body bringing all of.
Their supply being jointed and fitted so that the full until
and we do this till the fullness of Christ.
So the church is the next greatest move on the planet in
its maturity when we're flowing in unity and oneness.
But you understand this happens because of the glory of God, and
the glory of God comes from the oil.
So let me throw out a couple of scriptures at you.
Haggai chapter 2 The Prophet verse 9 says this the latter
glory. Come on, say the latter glory.
Haggai chapter 2, verse nine. He says this for the latter
glory of this house will be greater than the former.
Says the Lord of hoes. Who's saying this?
God's saying this. And in this place I will give
peace, declares the Lord. Now keep this scripture up for a
second. Isaiah 96 says this.
A child will be born, a son will be given.
What's his name? And the government shall rest on
his shoulders. Right?
Then Verse 7 says there'll be no end to the increase of his
government. So the church is more about the
government of God. We're an embassy where all the
ambassadors come together. And so as a result of that, you
understand, the Kingdom will have no end.
He'll set up his throne on the throne of David.
He's he'll bring, there'll be no increase of his government or of
peace, in fact the angels when he was born.
Sang the song Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men.
Right. So peace showed up.
Why? Because somebody greater than
Solomon showed up. Now the latter glory of this
house will be greater than the former.
And what they were looking at was a a particular temple that
was rebuilt. If you go through Haggai you
realize that they have finally you know come out of Babylon and
they're back in Jerusalem and he's basically saying listen you
in your. House, But you neglect in my
house. Mine's sitting in ruins and you
building your house, he said. You're giving, you're not
getting, you got, you're sowing and you got a bag full of holes,
he said. Don't you realize that if you
would put First things first, so the reason why you having issues
agriculturally is because of the way you're living you're?
Holding it up. You're keeping the rain from
coming and keeping the dew from showing up.
But they repented. Then they got excited about
building the house. Now, he said, when you look at
this house, how many you remember what Solomon built?
Because what they rebuilt was nothing on what Solomon built
that temple. And again, we're talking about
the temple. What was the temple of God?
It started as a Tabernacle. Then it went on to Solomon, who
built this massive, awesome gold late.
I mean if. People saw what that temple
looked like. It was so extravagant.
I mean the Tabernacle was really extravagant as well.
But I'm talking about this temple was amazing and when when
he dedicated it because it was to house the presence and spirit
of God, they put the ark of the covenant in there, Remember and
memory did the sacrifices and and and when God came down, when
God came upon the temple, it says the glory showed up and and
his train 'cause that's what's on King's robes.
The train filled the temple man the train filled the and the
priests were they couldn't even stand up because of how much
weight of the glory of God they were on their faces before the
king in his presence. And he says now the latter glory
of this. House.
We'll be what? We'll be what we'll be what
greater than the former? Will you understand?
Where did this come from? Matthew 516 says, Let your light
shine before men. The virgins had a light shining
right in such a way that you may see your good works and glorify
your Father in heaven. Look what it says in Hebrews
189. So again, God wants a light to
shine forth. Well, was someone sent to the
planet where his light shine forth in the darkness?
OK, he says, But of the Son, he says, Your throne Thrones are in
kingdoms, not religion. Our oh God is forever and ever.
And the righteous scepter scepter that's in the King's
hand is the scepter of his Kingdom.
And you have love, righteousness and hated lawlessness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you.
Are you anointed? He anointed him with the oil of
gladness. Above your campaign there was
and that last verse, verse nine, that starts with you have been,
have loved. That is a direct quote from the
Psalm Psalm 45. There was a time that that song
came out of someone who's coming.
In essence, that Psalm says there's some oil being reserved
for somebody. Oh, y'all know there's an oil
reserved for somebody for a house that's coming with a
greater glory. Oh, come on, yo.
I mean, there's somebody showing up that will put to shame.
Probably not a good word in comparison, not even comparable.
The former house and its glory, with the presence of God coming
in that all of a sudden this latter glory is going to
manifest, he goes on to say. In Psalms 9210.
He says. But you have exalted my horn
like that of a wild Oz. I have been anointed with what?
Fresh oil? Who are we Speaking of here?
Well, Jesus, I'll let you know who he's Speaking of.
Look in Luke chapter 4, verse 18, he said For the Spirit of
the Lord is what upon me the Holy Ghost is oil to us.
He said because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor, he has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and
recovery of sight to the blind to set free those who are
oppressed. So Jesus is anointed of God.
He is the latter glory expression.
But wait, there's Because he does his purpose and assignment.
Because Adam ate the fruit that God said don't eat.
Because if you don't eat you can live forever.
This is just a test. Just let me know you love me
because if you love me, you'll do what I say.
Because my word's life. But when he rebelled and ate the
fruit, he handed his dominion over to the devil.
And the Lord's like, well, I'll have to come get it myself.
But in order for me to get it myself, I'm going to have to
come as a man because I've already given dominion to man.
Genesis 126 he said, Let us make man in our image according to
our likeness, and let them have dominion.
This is why people outside the Kingdom are Dom trying to
dominate each other, you know, they try to rule over each
other. You got managers that
manipulating and against their employees and all this.
So why they're always wrestling for power?
Because that's how their father of the devil.
Functions. Why They want supremacy.
Businesses buy out businesses all it's just, it's like why I
want supremacy. Why?
Because God initially put this in man in the nature of God and
noticed, he said. Let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over all the cattle,
over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, over all
the earth, but not over other. Humans we.
Were never supposed to be over each other because God was over
us all. And I don't have to be over you
because we're equals. Come on, stand up.
We're equals. Because in the body of Christ,
he says, I don't look at the outward appearance, I look at
the come on you listening to me. So in essence, when God sees us,
he sees us in Christ, and he has a plan from God.
I have a plan from God and we are equally able to hear God and
do that, that when we stand before the Lord, he'll look at
us as sons and say well done and he'll be pleased with us both
equally, even though our suits look different.
But we're family because our bloodline's the same.
We have the same father. I mean you only way you in
racism is getting the Kingdom. Because in the Kingdom there's
every tongue, every tribe, every nation.
It's all there. It was out of him.
Adam, come on. Hallelujah.
I mean, we have the answer to all world's problems, but we are
the answer to all of world's problems.
There's nothing going on today that we cannot give them an
answer because what they want, we possess, But we have to walk
in it with power. Jesus came down here and walked
in the power of the Spirit. He was anointed, He was the
light. He let his light shine.
And he had an oil reserve. He was always pulling on the
Holy Ghost, pulling on a reserve, spending time in
prayer, getting his download of extra oil.
So when I go in to have to deal with the devil, deal with
sickness and disease, deal with anything I got to deal with,
deal with the religious, I got me the oil I'm got my my life
shining with. But I also have a reserve
because there was a time that it was reserved for this person to
have fresh oil. But here's the thing.
He fulfills his purpose. He became, becomes the price of
redemption for us what we could not do ourselves.
Christ stood. In the Gap for Us paid that
price laid down his life for us. So that then when he was raised
up, put his blood, which is a payment of our debt on the mercy
seat in heaven. Then he says all who want to
receive this debt cancellation power and come into the Kingdom,
all you have to do is acknowledge that I'm Lord.
And when we do that, we come over into the Kingdom.
But when we come over into the Kingdom, we don't come over in
the Kingdom, just as ourselves. We come over as a new person.
We think the same, yes. That's why the Holy Ghost comes
in and says we going to change your thinking.
Because you ain't thinking like a king, you thinking like a
pauper. That's why we were saying you
were a beggar, you begging for everything.
And listen, everyone's begging, even those who have money,
because they're begging for respect.
They're begging for the world to acknowledge their
accomplishments. They're still begging.
They cannot let go of this insatiable appetite because
they're separated from God. But we're royalty and our dad's
the king. He owns the planet anyway.
I said he owns the planet anyway.
Amen. So as a result of this, when we
come into the Kingdom of God, he also look at John first.
John 220. It says this.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One.
And you all know jump down to verse 27.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him abides in
you. Are you hearing me?
It abides in you. So again we have an anointing.
So God says listen, I am the latter glory.
But I'm not all of it. I am the head.
The what verse is it says it's Psalms 1. 130 Where about the
old? 133 That he took the oil and he
put it on the head of Aaron. Oh gosh, Aaron is the high
priest. Jesus is the high priest people.
They started with the anointing oil.
It went in his head, it came down his beard, and it began to
flow down his body. So Jesus is like, I am the start
of the latter glory. But it's not just for the head.
It's going to get to the body. Who is the body of Christ?
We're the body of Christ. We are the possessors of a
latter glory, a reserve of oil. Oh my gosh, we are all reserved
for the last days. And he knew.
I am the beginning of the latter glory.
But I know as the old listen, it takes time for the oil that hits
the head and runs down the beard to get down into the shoulders,
all the way down the garment, even when it starts to get in
the body. That's called the former rank On
the day of Pentecost. It started to seep down in the
body and we saw some miraculous things from Saints just speaking
in the name of Jesus. But he says it ain't done yet.
This thing's been working for a couple thousand years, people.
It's getting on down, it's dropping down around the knees.
It's coming down around there, the calves going to get to the
ankles. Don't you know?
When it finally gets to the bottom of our feet, the trumpets
going to blow. Right.
This oil is amazing. And let me give you some
properties of oil. Oil lubricates because of that.
It eliminates friction and stress.
If you're a believer and you're full of stress, you need your
oil reserve. No true believer should be a
complainer or a whiner because oil eliminates friction.
Well, I just can't be around them.
You need some oil. Well, I wish they'd change.
No, what you need is some oil. Because can I just let you in on
a little secret? You need to change too.
I mean, we. All got to change.
All of us are changing in our mind, realm and how we interact
with one another because we're all learning how to yield to the
Holy Spirit on the inside. Of us.
And when we just yield to the oil, then you know what?
What was bothering me about you that don't bother me.
It just don't bother me because I got oil.
It eliminates friction and stress.
You know what else oil does? Because it it lubricates.
It keeps things from sticking. Some people, I've heard,
Christian, I'm just, I just feel like I'm stuck.
You need some oil. You need some oil.
That's what you need. Now some of you need some oil
that is like super because I am doing a remodel in the bathroom
as you know. And so I my wife decided she
wanted to change all the stuff in the shower to be black,
silver, black. OK, shower, not a problem.
The shower head, the water thing had to do some modifications.
Can I just say that? Because technically there wasn't
the exact piece, but you can't tell can I just?
I mean, it worked. I just had to do a little
modification. OK?
It's behind the walls. You'll never know.
The spout. OK, It was very specific by
design. I bought one.
It wasn't universal, as you suppose.
So I found another one. It's not metal, it's plastic.
And it was silver. But I.
Painted it. The stuff that he hears to play.
It's temporary. OK, don't judge me about this.
I will find a metal part from Delta and get the right part.
But Pastor Darrell will never know when he stays at my house
next week be like, wow, this thing's amazing.
But then there's the tub drain. You know what's on the bottom
anyway? Well, I was like, I know what
unscrews. Well, let me.
Go. There's one others the before.
That is the little thing that keeps you from flowing the water
all into your bathroom. That's a safety valve for when
y'all put your kids in there and you leave the water running.
You get busy and next thing you know, your kids are drowning.
In your whole bathroom, right. But it helps you.
All right, Anywho, then we get you to drain.
Well, I'm like, man, there's a way to do this.
I know. So thank God for YouTube, Right?
YouTube gets you in trouble, though.
Just let you know. I got in YouTube and there was a
don't buy the right tool way of doing it, right.
So you take this pair of pliers, you throw it down in there and
he take another pair and you get you some and you turn it.
It bent all my pliers. They couldn't hang.
They were just like that's what they did.
They just like. They crumbled under the
pressure, baby. They were like, we stuck.
I got some oil. WD40 actually sprayed that thing
in there just hoping I'm I'm believing it.
Seeping in. Did it like, I mean, I dusted in
for an hour or so. I realized, I mean I'm like got
a cramp right there, right. Then all of a sudden because
it's 4, you know, it looks like a cross down there.
Two of them started to get the wave and when they start break
dancing on the inside. So I'm like I'm getting the
right tool to get this. So came to service.
I did prayer because we had prayer.
Ran over to Lowe's, got the right thing, put it in.
Then I got, you know, a big screwdriver.
That didn't work because still one budget.
So then I got another tool that I put another wrench on because
I need to get out. I need to get out here.
I need what we call leverage. Yeah, so.
Here we go. And I'm feeling it starting to
give. And it gave.
The four prongs broke right off. Yeah, I hear on YouTube they
have a way of extracting this without the prongs.
I haven't even looked at it yet. At this point I'm probably going
to. Defer to some.
Professionals that I happen to know are in the building right
now. I'm going to phone a friend.
They're going to wish that I had called them earlier, but I'm
going to look them in the face and say, bro, you're not
stronger than me and you would not have gotten it to break
without breaking. So here we are.
We're at this place. So what am I going to do with a
silver? You Dang right.
I'm painting it. I'm painting it.
I'm going to paint it until I get.
Somebody out there and we can take the thing out and put the
new little black one with the little pop up, pop up, pop it
in, pop it up. And it'd be all cool.
Until then, Pastor Joe. Never know that it wasn't Black
and intentional, Period. Are y'all hearing me.
Well, I tell you all that because oil keeps things from
sticking. I just don't have.
I'm glad that the Holy Ghost is an oil that can't get anything
unstuck. There's nothing you're stuck in
that the Holy Ghost cannot free. You.
Because my human power is not enough.
Now listen, you get enough tool and wisdom.
There's people. This thing that I'm dealing with
right now has been conquered and that's how the Bible says you
are not in any temptation that has not common to man.
But the Lord has already delivered another brother in
this issue. There's a way of escape.
Make no doubt about it. There's enough oil to conquer
your your issue. All right, OK, you know what
else oil does? It gets rid of squeaking.
Gets rid of squeaking. Right.
So gossip's not a thing of the church because oil gets rid of
it. You want to know what squeaking
sounds like in church? It's called gossip, all right,
but it gets rid of it because you want gossip, say Hallelujah.
The oil is the answer to everything.
You know what else it does? It causes things to fit together
easily, to slide into place. Here it is without resistance.
Amen, 'cause this, this church is going to be a Weld oiled
'cause it's been reserved for us.
I said it's been reserved for us.
And here's the thing. The harder it's working, the
more it has to stay lubricated. And the Lord knows it's going to
be really dark at the end. And the church is going to have
quite the job. But that's all right.
I'll keep it highly lubricated. Hallelujah.
I'll keep it highly lubricated. Are you hearing me?
It keeps things here from becoming fatigued and wearing
out. I do not understand it.
When churches talk about burnout, they need oil because
oil will keep things from becoming fatigued and wearing
out. People like pastor, how can you
run like that? I mean, I can talk to some other
ministers that I know run even more than me, right?
And I know it. The answer is it's the oil.
It's the oil. It's the oil.
The oil is doing a couple things.
That's keeping the word fresh in me, and it's keeping me fresh,
keeping me full of joy, keeping me full of the Holy Spirit,
keeping me full of power. And because of that, I'm not
burning out. I don't burn out, I don't get
fatigued and if I start to feel fatigued I know exactly what to
do. 2 things I do. I read the Word and then pray in
the Spirit, and it fixes it every.
Time. Every time.
I don't let myself get to total frustration.
OK, y'all hearing what I'm saying.
All right, let's go on. You know what else it does?
It provides energy, it improves performance and produces power.
So what oil does? Remember I said it was highly
flammable, but another thing it does, it brings provision.
Second Corinthians 4-7 and nine says this, but we.
Have this. I'm closing down now.
Got a couple more scripture. We're done.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the
surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not of
ourselves. Come on, 'cause we have all we
are afflicted in every way but not, oh, you, perplexed but not
persecuted, but not struck down but not destroyed.
Why, 'cause we got so much oil? It doesn't matter.
In fact, when they bowled John in oil, he stayed alive.
And they said we can't kill the guy, Put him on an island.
Are you hearing me? Because the oil of his, the
purpose of his life was not done.
The oil was there. He was afflicted but not
crushed, perplexed but not despairing.
He was persecuted but not forsaken.
He was struck down, but definitely was not destroyed.
And we have that because we have a treasure in earthen vessels.
What is it that we have? Look what it says in First
Corinthians. First Corinthians?
Come on, chapter 3, verse 16, he says.
And do you not know that you are the the what?
What are you? Come on, What are you?
Are you the latter house? Are you the latter glory, You
are that you looking at this temple right here?
This thing you know is nothing compared to the latter.
Glory of the house to come. We are the temple of God and
that the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Wow. We have the third person of the
godhead and I'll kind of close without us going to it.
You can write it down. But in Second Kings chapter 4
verses one through 7, there was a widow woman whose prophet
husband passed away. He was in debt and in had debt.
And because of that debt the debtors came because he died and
said we're going to take your boys and we are going to make
them pay your father's debt. We're putting them in prison,
which means now she has lost all of her ability to bring in a
resource, taking the sons, because women then were not like
women in the United States of America.
She's going to be reduced to begging.
She comes to the prophet and says, this is where at.
And the prophet says to the widows and he says, what do you
have? What do you?
Have, she says. I don't have nothing.
I just, I do have a little bit of say that again.
I have a little bit of, I have a little bit of oil.
He said, oh, well, that's all you need.
Now let me tell you what you going to do.
What you going to do is you going to go talk to your
neighbors and you go find you some vessels, they're earthen
vessels. I want you to get that.
I mean, not just a little, but not just a little.
I want you to feel that they take a bunch of them, get a
whole bunch of them, girl, and you go into the house with your
boys and you pile it on the House and you shut the door.
And when you shut that door, I want you to take that little bit
of oil you have and you start pouring.
Put it into the first vessel. This is an analogy.
We have a treasure in earth and vessels.
Let me tell you, there is enough of supply of the Holy Ghost, who
is eternal, to be able to pour out the whole of gladness.
You can just say pour it out. In fact, Psalms 23 says, you
prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy.
You anoint my head with all my cup runs over.
We're the church. We can live in the grossest,
darkest days. And all we got to do is open up
our spirit and say, pour out the oil, let it overflow, let this
vessel. And you know what?
I'll get around that vessel, on that vessel, on that vessel, on
that vessel, and not just a few. And I'll pour into you and pour
into you and pour into you and pour into you and pour into you,
till we all get so full that there's nothing in the world
that we can't pay. Layoff and rest with the rest.
So there's all in the house and the question is, are you
partaking it? Hallelujah.
Because I'm telling you, when
someone that's not in the Kingdom gets introduced to the
Holy Spirit after they get born again, wow, wow.
We have to acknowledge we have God in US and at this point,
greater is he that's in me and he's in the world.
We have an oil reserve for such an hour as this.
What can man do to me? Right?
We are overcomers because we have an oil reserve that the
world didn't even know about, didn't even know about.
Do you know that oil reserve was able to take both Moses and
Jesus through 40 days of fasting, no food at all, and
sustain them? I'm telling you, it's powerful.
And again, at Anchorpate Church, we're not here because the
Bible's not here to answer your question, Where do I go when I
die? Because that's a religious
statement, because all religions ask that and they're all trying
to answer that question by how they live.
But God says I'm not offering a ticket out, I'm trying to come
to you. Because at the end of the day.
Sure, if you know Jesus as your Lord and you pass away and your
spirit leaves your body, you're going to be present with him,
and currently he is in heaven, and you'll be there too.
But it wasn't about you going there.
It was about him coming to you, God living in you now, you
becoming a child of God today. Or you can say, my Father, who
art in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. You are in me.
I am the temple of the Holy Ghost.
I have a direct connection with the realm of heaven right now
and its resources, because I have its supply.
It was about you becoming a child of God now, of which he
will never leave you as an orphan.
He did not get you born again so that the devil can take care of
you on the earth. Or the world.
He had. He wants you to be born again so
that he can personally show you your future, your purpose, why
you exist. And he will talk to you every
day. And there's many in this room
today that I could come around your life.
My life's totally different. The cause of my relationship
with God who came to me, He came to me and he lives in me.
And I hear his voice and he talks to me daily, and he
provides for me. He's healed my body.
He delivers me out of all my trouble.
Do I have trouble? Yeah.
But I get delivered from it all. God causes my enemy to watch me
prosper. When they first do the attack,
they think they take me down till all of a sudden I'm on the
victory side. And they're wishing they never
would have came after me in the 1st place because they're really
not coming after me. They're coming after my daddy.
The Kingdom's amazing. It is the answer to everything
you have. And God is loving.
God will not make you serve him. You have to want to.
So the truth is, God will let you do whatever you want to do
everyone on the planet, because that's what free will is.
He's really giving you the free will.
That's why he he'll say you can do whatever you want to do.
But in the end, I'll hold you accountable to whatever you do
because at the end of the day, someone has to have the final
say and God is the one who has it because he's the author of
words. This is the problem that people
have right now and on our planet.
They're wrestling their ideal and basically, you know what?
I think? So you want me to take your word
over his? It's as simple as word.
Well, I believe so. You want me to rest my whole
life on you being right about this?
Because that's really what God's saying if you'll rest your whole
life. That I'm right and he is.
Because all of us. Who've come into his Kingdom and
follow him. We know he is.
He is because he's. I am.
And he's saying tonight I want you in my Kingdom, but you got
to want to come. And I've done everything
necessary. I've met every condition in your
life so that you can be in my Kingdom.
All you have to do is call on my name.
That's pretty amazing. So whatever.
Head bow and every eye closed, no one's looking around.
If you're here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of
your life, he is the king of the Kingdom you're wanting.
I'm telling you right now, he is, He said.
Well, how do I know? You have to believe?
But I can tell you this, if you'll believe that Jesus was
the substitute. He came as a man to pay the
price of everything that you're guilty of.
You don't know how it happened, but you just say I'm going to
believe that. And you say man, I come to you,
I believe you stood for me. And I just ask you to forgive
me. And I say you're Lord of my
life. The Bible says you'll become a
child of God and your spirit will change.
And 1st John Work chapter 5 tells us that you'll know you
have eternal life. How would you like to leave
tonight to know that the eternity you're in is life, it
is with God, and that God is now pleased with you and you're in
His nature. You can know it, no doubt, Like
know it like you know you're breathing right now.
