Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.
Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
Now enjoy this message. Hallelujah.
The Lord reminded me said when I stepped into the earth when it
was my appointed time. There had been 400 years of
Silence in my own Nation. And can you imagine 400 years
where the spirit of God was not speaking through anyone?
That doesn't mean the law of Moses, it was here.
Writings from the prophets were here, but it requires the spirit
to bring it life. So, we have 400 years of the
tradition of man, 400 years where the nation of Israel
became extremely rooted in their religion, their way of
interpreting scripture, and in their way of demonstrating
godliness. Their synagogues were full of
tradition. so much so that when Jesus comes out on the scene and
begins to speak, The crowds recognize that this one speaks
as one who has Authority and not as the scribes speak.
There was a tangible difference in the voice of Jesus.
The king, the savior of the world, the Lamb of God.
But also, what I find very interesting during that time of
of it being Lowell of where there is no expressions of the
spirit of God that, when Jesus came on the scene, he came a
great demonstrations. Great demonstrations.
Now, I would love to tell you that his demonstrations changed
the world. They did not his demonstrations
only strengthen the cause for de gentiles.
That is own Nation. The trading crucified, he hung
him on the cross. I would love to tell you that
him raising the dead, Healing The Sick casting out, Devils
calls, them all to run to repentance.
But the majority actually did not.
But it does. Let us know this, that's they'll
be without excuse. They'll be without excuse
because he will have demonstrated his kingdom.
Paul himself said this, I did not come with you with eloquent
words, a persuasive wisdom or knowledge.
But I came with you came to you, with demonstrations of the
spirit. I do believe that as the day
gets closer to the return of Jesus, the demonstration of the
spirit is going to increase more.
But I do not want you to be deceived and think that the
minute we are raising the dead more often.
I mean, when I say that more often, I mean, you're doing it.
I'm doing it. We're all doing it.
So it seems like, so many people are coming back.
There's so many devils are being cast out that so many people are
being healed because everyone's functioning as a child of God,
as the child of a king in the earth that all of a sudden, the
whole world's going to turn to Revival.
It can be and it will be not that it can be.
It will be that many will reject the supernatural move of God.
But it will serve as an evidence that the kingdom was among them,
and they chose Darkness, instead of light, are you hearing me?
Because the most discouraging thing to a Believer, is to
function in the power and plan of God, but expect a result that
God's not going to have That even God knows is not going to
happen. This is what I love about the
Prophet. Jeremiah the law was very clear
to him. Now, son, you're going to say
stuff, and no one's going to listen.
No one's going to repent. You're going to get no convert
senior Ministry, none, no one's coming.
And you're gonna they're going to start crying out to me as the
Calamity comes. But what is the Lord say?
I'm not even going to Hero. He said because when I cried out
to them they didn't listen to me.
Now, they'll get what they did to me.
Now, when you hear that, you think well.
That's unfair well, it's because how they're crying out is the
problem. Just because a person cries out
for the Lord, does it mean they actually want the Lord?
And we must learn to have discernment and understand why
today when we talk about our reigning, resonance will find
out why our decree might not come to pass because you can
make a decree you can cry out to the Lord and if it does not come
to pass, there is a reason why and we want to avoid that at all
costs. Amen we want to avoid that at
all cost Jared Elijah. Finds himself finding a
successor. because a result does it turn out like he thinks He
shows up on the Mount Carmel. I've been there myself, he calls
the prophets of Baal in and he begins to tell them.
We're going to set up a couple of sacrifices and we're going to
see who's God's the real God. Remember that?
And so he says, I'll let you go first, so they set up their
altar, they began to cry out to their God, the god of bail.
They began to cut themselves, all kinds of things and
nothing's happening. In fact, he begins to mock them.
One translation says, be a little louder.
Maybe your God, went to relieve himself.
He's in the bathroom. Right.
So when they were completely exhausted gone on for hours and
nothing changed on their sacrifices than Elijah gets
bold, he said, alright, it's my turn.
He says, go find me some water and why are you getting some
water? I'm going to dig a ditch, a
trench around my Altar and he poured out water on his
sacrifice went across his Altar. And went all over the wood and
went into the trenches. He did it three times, he left.
No doubt. Nothing here is dry.
And then add a word. He spoke to the god of Heaven,
had a word, and fire came from heaven and consumed, the alt
the, the sacrifice, the alter the sticks, the bricks, and the
water. And not one prophet of bell.
Repented. But they died.
And then the queen. The queen of Israel, sends a
message. Not Elijah, you're a man of God
and what you have done has shown without infallible proof that
there's only one God of Israel. And who are we to have made such
a mistake and followed Bell? No, she sent a message.
What you did to all my profits? I'm going to do to you tomorrow.
And he runs off and says down by a tree and says kill me.
Lord just kill me. Now, why do I bring this up?
Because our decree may not change the people around us.
But it will bring the kingdom in their presence.
It's very important that we understand the days that we're
living in that not everyone's going to get right.
Not everyone's going to be saved.
Not everyone's going to be born again.
In fact, at the catching away of the church more, actually may be
left behind But that doesn't relinquish us of the
responsibility. To do the work that God has
assigned Us in the Earth. Nor to be discouraged just
because people aren't listening to our voice or seeing the
results, Jesus himself told the religious.
He said, listen, fine. If you don't want to believe me
fine, but at least believe the works.
Believe this, the demonstrations that you're seeing, but they
wouldn't even do that. Amen, I said they wouldn't even
do that. That's why you've got to get it
in your spirit. I'm only going to fulfill the
plan of God for my life at the end of the day.
And whether or not anyone turns or not is really not my issue.
I'm just going to do what God Said to do because, no one's
going to stand before Jesus and accused me of not fulfilling his
plan so that they could have an Tunity to see the kingdom.
It's not going to happen. Amen.
So we have a voice back in November, the Lord spoke to me
and he said, very clearly. He said, Rhema and that word is
a Greek word. That means the spoken word.
There's a low God's word of God, which is the written word.
But he said with this is a year of the spoken word, all right?
And so he said to me, he said, whatever you say, you'll have
whatever. And so we've already taken time
to speak to you out of Romans where it says that we've been
redeemed from the law of sin and death that we are part of the
law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
And our words are connected to one of those Realms.
You have to make sure that you're speaking from the law of
the spirit of Life In Christ and don't be speaking from the law
of sin and death out of your mouth.
Should not cook go blessings and cursings, right?
We need to make sure sure, that we are saying What God Says
speaking. What he is saying, that's why
your mouth can't get attached to your flesh.
If there's ever been a day to make sure your flesh stays dead.
Paul says, I Crucify My Flesh. How often how often daily?
Coz that flesh. Will rise.
A it will wake you up in the morning.
It will, it will push you on the wrong side of the bed.
I don't know how that works. I woke up on the wrong side, but
I don't know how that works. But at the end of the day it
will push you over there and you have to crucify daily because if
you do not crucify daily, you'll start speaking from it.
And when you speak from the flesh, you tap into a realm,
you've been redeemed from, you've been delivered from you.
No longer are residents of your no longer subject to So, my
language has changed. My voice is different.
Resonance means having a lasting effect.
We need to have a lasting effect.
Jesus Christ words have had a lasting effect in the earth and
we'll always. In fact, it's the only thing
that will remain. He said, Heaven and Earth will
pass away, but my words will never pass away.
So it means to have this voice that resonates, it's as if your
words are powerful, Meaning full, they have resonance.
I said they have residents, and again, the Lord said to me,
you'll have whatever you say, and whatever you say is more
important than ever. Now, to watch what you say are
you hearing me? Don't allow yourself just to
talk. If there's ever been a day to
apply James, be quick to slow to be quick to hear slow to speak
quick to here. Quick do here means Lord.
What do you saying right now? And how Should respond.
Quick to hear slow to speak, slow to wrath for the wrath of
man does not produce the righteousness of God because if
you quickly speak how you feel, based upon what you just heard
in a scene reminiscent so realm, you're going to be speaking and
declaring and decree and doing things, and bringing things
towards you that you should have never had come in your
direction. But if you'll be quick to hear
to get past the seen realm, the natural realm, the feelings, And
say, holy spirit. What do you need me to say, how
do I need to proceed? What do we need to speak?
And then release, what you hear from God, then you'll have what
you say from that realm and it brings life.
It Aban things up. Are you hearing me it can keep
things at Bay but it's up to you will say, well, God's in
control. He's in control of his word that
you release out of your mouth. Are you hearing me now?
This is an elementary principal actually because if God was in
control, you would all be saved. He would make you be born again
because it's better to be with God, then to be cast into the
Lake of Fire, which is the second death yet people are
going Solon Worley one. What is God controlling?
He's controlling that word of faith in your mouth.
So if you come down or at any point, you've said, Jesus, I
believe that your lord and that you came as the Son of God in
man, and died on a cross. And on the third day was raised
from the dead and your blood is payment for my sin.
Ins all my wrongdoing, I accept you as Lord and savior of my
life, I confess you as Lord, then God will activate those
words. He will control that word from
your mouth that confession of faith, when you call on the name
of the Lord, to be what you, then will be saved.
But many will never call on the name, although it was available
to them to call. So God's in control of his word.
And if you'll speak his word by faith, you'll have what you say
are you hearing me? And again, it's not you.
It's his words through you. I'm always amazed at the
religious. Well, they just think they have
what they say. I'm only having what God told me
to say. And these people function this
in their own principle in the natural, When they're at work.
When they're with their kids. In the natural, they'll go and
say, well, I need to have this. Well, who said that?
Well, my boss right? The ball said, you're going to
stay over today and then people respond, they have what they
say. Amen.
Well, how much more the creator of Heaven and Earth?
I mean, if he's saying it, why can't I have what he says?
A decree is an official order having the force of law given by
a person with power, do you have power?
He said, but you will receive what power when the Holy Spirit
comes upon you. Amen.
But it also means having the force of law given by a person
by a government. And don't, you know, you're in a
government. If you don't I just want to let
you know today that the Bible is about a king and his kingdom and
his role offspring Jesus did not come to bring a religion, but
came to bring the kingdom of God, back to the Earth so that
we can have access to it again. Because God's original design.
A man, let us make man in our image, according to our
likeness, and let them have rule or Dominion.
So man was to rule and have dominion on the earth as God has
Dominion in heaven and when Jesus came back began to preach,
he did not preach get born again.
He preached. The Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand. Now, how do you get in the
Kingdom? You must Must be born again but
he preached the kingdom. 130 something Tom's through the
gospels one time. He mentions be born again.
His emphasis was about the nation.
Because when he demonstrated this Kingdom, round this
government of God, people inevitably were asking how do we
get in? How do we get in?
Amen. So, our decree, rest on what we
hear Jesus saying, not what the world is saying.
You need to spend a little more time hearing the word then you
do. CNN, MSNBC Fox NPR.
National Geographic. More people can talk to me about
global warming than they can about the kingdom of God.
Don't talk to me about emissions.
More people can talk to me about electric cars.
Amen, I do want you to know global global warming is real.
It is real because eventually this whole thing's going to get
burned up. The Bible says that It's true
but it's not just the Earth that subject to the fire.
So are the heavens. I said, so the heavens and it'll
be initiated by God, it's a cleanup plan is the cleanup
plan. Amen.
Well, how can he burn? The Earth of people are in it
same way. Shadrach Meshach and Abednego
and go to a fiery furnace. That's really dumb for God.
The righteous is protected. We're all well, all that's left.
Anyway, the rest are already thrown into the Lake of Fire in
the prison system of the Kingdom Mark 11:22 to 24, then Is it is
it fairy tale? Isn't fantasy.
Isn't Personal Agenda. It's about God.
So Jesus answer said them have faith, where in God, your faith
is supposed to be in God One translation says have the god
kind of Faith which means god believes what he says God did
not speak in the the dockyard document that records, the
history of the creation of the Earth or or the Earth and in the
six days that it's spoken of and will close on the seventh, he
rested. God never said let there be
about land and all of a sudden it resisted him.
Nothing. When he spoke resisted it became
For surely I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be
removed and be cast 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. Therefore, I say to you,
whatever things you ask, when you pray, believe that you
receive them and you will have them in the things I'm saying,
or not. What I'm saying.
It's what God is telling me to say Jesus himself says, I don't
speak on my own initiative but only what I hear the father say.
So Jesus always had what he said because he was only saying what
the father says, what's it to me if the Lord has told someone to
believe God for a car. What's the problem?
If they're using that card to pick car to pick people up,
bring them to church. Amen.
What's it to me? If the Lord's told someone to
speak about a larger home, if they're going to House people
from various times? What's that to me?
In fact, I was talking with bishop garraway and he was
talking about how the widow or the not the Widow, the married
woman who was Barren, could have no children.
And told her husband we need to build a room for the man of God,
so him and his servant could come and he says, now the
husband had to believe he was a man of God because what husband
who can't get his wife, pregnant is going to have two other men
live in the house. And that's a that is a fair
assessment to say because in that dispensation they were not
born of God, their Spirit man was not alive.
And it wasn't until she invested to bake her home larger.
That then the Lord tell you it has the man of God, say we need
to do something for this lady. And the servant says, I don't
hear any little feet running around.
He said, that's it. It's a lady going to have a
child. She said, don't talk to me like
that. Oh, don't do that to me.
That's not funny. He said, I laugh her.
You're going to have a child. And she did, I said, and she did
Hallelujah, but I can hear those religious Christians today.
The audacity of them build on the house while their house
ain't big enough. A child came out of invest in a
larger home. Purpose, showed up.
Oh, I can't even begin to tell you the blessings that happened
for that woman I week. But that's a whole other sermon.
I'm not going to reach that. My point is, is here.
God and say, what God's saying, because whatever he needs you to
have, in order to accomplish the, will he has for your life
and the church that he has Associated you with Because some
of your belief should not be for your address.
In fact, the majority of your beliefs should not even be about
your address because the Bible says, if you seek first the
kingdom and his righteousness, everything else will be added to
you. You want your address taking
care of start believing for something Beyond it.
Have the audacity to believe her something you're not even going
to keep. Amen.
Well they just want your money. No, I want to see people's
lives, change me. This is asinine when people say
that because we give the missionaries all over the world,
all over the world. We're trying to affect people's
lives and it requires a layer of Finance but what's not limited
to that, amen. So part of our faith will be for
finance and increase. That's okay.
But what Good's a finance if you're dead, you can't be here.
So this is why Faith to be healed is really important as
well. Safe to have a sound line is
really important because you're not going to be able to do
anything with your resource. If your minds all broke,
Hallelujah. So, we are to rule with our
words. Now, I'm going to start to touch
here in Mark chapter 11, concerning some things that will
hinder your decree and as mentioned right here in the 23rd
verse he says, for assuredly I say to you.
Whoever says to this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea
and does not. If there is doubt with your
decree, it will not come to pass.
You cannot just say What God Says, and then doubt it and
expect it to come to pass. It does not come to pass just
because you're saying it, it comes to pass because you're
believing what you say. And what you say is again, not
your words but his words in your mouth.
I said it's his words in your mouth, there's a thing in the
United States called power of attorney.
Anybody heard that term before? That means, someone gives most
of you have even done this based upon like owning a home or
purchasing a home the minute you get down to closing if there's
any area that's just not right. Instead of them calling you, you
actually authorize them power of attorney to actually change some
of the documents on your behalf to finish out the closing.
Many of you have done that. Means they act on your behalf as
if it's you. There are times that people can
get into places, where, you know, family members have to
step in and help navigate their lives because they are not
mentally able to continue the process and it's called power of
attorney. While they're living, you're
acting on their behalf but you can actually have Salman and
just actually give someone power of attorney as well.
Well, Jesus has given us power of attorney, because he says, if
you ask the father, anything how in my name?
Yes. So when we're asking, when we're
declaring, when we're saying these things were saying, well,
this is what God has said to me by the spirit, which means this
is Jesus's words to me. So I'm saying it in his name, in
the name of Jesus, this comes to pass.
It's called Power of Attorney which means that I must be
firmly persuaded. It will just this past week.
We were believing God for a particular amount of money,
honestly. Because when it comes to some of
the funds that come into the church, they come through some
government funding. You say, you take money from the
government, you bet I do all day long.
Because the minute it hits me. It's righteous.
The wealth of the wicked is definitely laid up for me.
Well, we have this. We received funds for our
preschool, it's called Episcopal and a grant Associated to help
those of lower income to help subsidized, child care and we
have students that qualify for that.
And so every month we get paid once a month by that Grant.
Well your paperwork has to be correct.
Well, we had a challenge a mistake.
We ended up Up either being here.
One day when we said we weren't originally or vice versa, can't
remember, but they didn't line up.
So we just needed a change it. Well, the minute you change the
paper had to send it to. Episcopal.
Now I don't, you know, understand government takes
these people forever. Well, that's a pretty good
amount of money once a month. We give payroll out of that.
Didn't come. In fact, now they're saying
they're going to wait until next month.
And just put it with the other one.
Well, great. I'm glad it's doubling up next
month, but it helped me this month.
Amen. So man and a few of my staff,
got an agreement over a specific amount of money.
We said well or we believe we received this amount based upon
this situation which is out of our control.
Although we did declare and decree they're going to need a
release those funds. Right.
So we pray. Wednesday night came through.
That money was not in the offering.
Okay, well, we concerned no, because I don't doubt.
And the staff that I have around Finance or non doubters, they
don't doubt. I cannot have a doubter when it
comes to finance. They don't need to see it, they
just need to believe. So, the one who I put over our
finance was in my office, we were talking about what we can
do, what we need to do. And as we were walking, they
gave me the balance to the account.
I said, okay, I said well this is going to be this and then we
why I said that I said that money is going to be here.
They walked back into their office.
I hovered around my water thing and next thing, you know, I hear
her yelling So, I walk into the office, come here and I look, I
didn't have my glasses on. So I had to look really good
because I'm like, The amount that was in our account, now was
10 times more than what we were asking for that.
There was another Grant, we had applied for that, we weren't
expecting to show up till later in March, maybe even April.
It showed up before a grant, we've been receiving payments
from a, we still have one more in.
It came in all at once. Hallelujah.
What I'm saying is when we came together touching and agreeing,
we're not and they came into my office and by the time we
finished our 12 minute meeting the account had changed.
I said the account of changed. Amen.
Now, this doesn't relieve the responsibility of those who have
been should have been sowing towards that other number.
Anyway, I'm just saying that God calls this thing.
Should have been coming in 60 days from now to all of a
sudden, hit the account glory to God because we have what we say.
And again I'm not decreed it because I'm making the money.
It's about payroll, it's about finishing a playground, it's
about building a pavilion, it's about finishing out carpet.
It's about are conditions so that other tenants can come in.
It's about advancing the kingdom of God.
It's about purchasing flight, so we can go to the Dominican
Republic and plant. Another church is about
purchasing a flight so that we can go to Nicaragua plant
another church and Lyon it's about purchasing a flight so
that we can go to India and we can plant another church over in
India. That's what this is about.
Hallelujah, So, dou cannot be in your decree.
You have to get set, Like, Flint.
Now, I'm going to help you and I've done this basic principle
before, but I'm gonna do it again because the Bears
repeating because it's the best way that I know how to let you
internally know how it is to be firmly, persuaded firmly,
persuaded. Okay.
You know that, you know, you know.
Three plus two equals are you sure?
You know what that is? Are you persuaded?
Would you put your life on the line to be able to answer three
plus two? If someone came to you and said,
if you don't answer this, you will die.
How confident are you? That you could get that, right?
That sounds silly. But when God speaks to me, it's
as easy as a rithmetic, it's not complicated equation.
God always has what he says when his word hits my heart and I
believe it. Then all that equals is done
period. His word plus my faith equals
done his word plus my faith equals done.
Every time like 3 plus 2 is always, it's always I'm giving
you the answers. Always it's always fine.
It's fine. I know that I know that.
That's no big deal. I got it.
I know it. It's 5:00.
I know what it is. And I don't doubt it.
When someone says it 6, someone tries to throw it in some kind
of weird equation to try to throw me off.
Someone tries to move it and manipulate it in such a way,
that makes you think that it's not what it is to try to
question yourself because that's all the devil does.
That's all he does, and he does it with things being seen.
He does it with something that comes contrary, right, after you
begin to declare, like, I believe I'm Healed.
I'll still work right now. Ryan has that ever happened to
anyone? Sure.
But are you going to believe the little bit worse?
Are you gonna believe what you say, are you going to leave you?
The hill of the Lord? Are you going to believe that by
inscribing? Sure?
He'll, it has to be this way. Can't be any other way, period.
So, your decree cannot have doubt.
If it has doubt then you don't believe what you say and really
you don't believe what he told you to say.
So you really don't believe God. She be better for us to be a
little quieter. because when we just say what we want to say,
then we condition ourselves to not believe what we say.
When we say things just to please people, but then we don't
follow up. Slight the.
The example, Jesus said, he said, now there was a man that
had two sons and he says, went to his first son.
He says, son, I need you to work the field and he says, yeah,
Dad. I'm going to do it, but he never
does it. Then he has another son.
It could be vice versa, you know, and he says to the other
son. He says, I want you to work the
Phillies, I'm not going to do it but later goes and does it.
He said, which one did Will of his father.
The one who actually did it. Even though he originally said,
I'm not. So if we're like, yeah, I'm
gonna do it. Then we never do basically, we
condition ourselves that I don't ever do what I say.
So then when you start speaking on behalf of God, you'll assume
neither does he? Because you have the evidence
that it don't work for you. No, God always does what he
says. I said, he always does what he
says every time without fail to those who believe this one Jesus
said to the to the high priests are to the religious leader.
He says only believe don't doubt only believe don't even bother
teachers daughters died. Now she's gone beyond sickness.
He said only believe because I haven't changed my mind.
It's going to happen. This is why he told his students
said, this century and had such great faith because he said,
just speak the word only and my servant will be healed.
I'll need you to come to my house.
I'll need you to breathe on him. I don't need you to touch him.
I don't need you to sing a song. I don't need you to do a Jericho
March around my house. Now if a Jericho March is
required start marching, if touches required start touching,
if breathing's required start breathing, but the serious and
cherien knew that all I need is a word.
Now, if Jesus would have said well, is I'm going to it
requires me to show up this time.
He said at your word that's what he had done.
But Jesus said Marvel, Marvel said, I've not seen such great
faith. No, not in.
All of these are, you know, so awesome about this.
The Centurion was actually a gentile.
He was a Roman. Because of that, he the nation
and had more faith than his Covenant kids.
Oh my goodness. Don't let it be known, don't let
it be known in the world. Don't let it be known in the
world that you can't believe. You're God your creator that you
can't believe the Kings voice that.
You can't believe his promises are yes.
And amen. That you doubt.
Don't do it. Don't let it be known among you
that you're a doubter, don't let it happen.
Proverbs 18:21 says, death and life are in the power of the
tongue and those who love it. We eat its fruit.
We saw Matthew chapter 15 verse 7 and 9 said this Amplified
classic You Pretenders Hypocrites.
What's going to hinder your decree admirably and truly did
Isaiah prophesy view when he said these people draw near draw
near me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but
their hearts hold off and are far away from me, uselessly.
Do they worship me for? They teach as doctrines the
commands of men uselessly uselessly?
I don't care. How many people are going to a
church. I don't care how big it is.
Does is not an indicator that God's there.
I don't care how small the church is, it's not an indicator
that God's there. It's not an indicator.
In our society, the larger the church, the more people assume
God's in it. You'll only know whether their
have love for the brethren. And if they're actually being
disciple. You'll find out which ones are
truly living, the god kind of life.
When pressure hits. Amen.
And that's every Church, even this one.
I mean, it's easy to sit in that chair and say, I love Jesus.
That's easy especially because we have it climate control.
Nice cushion seat. You didn't have to come 8 hours.
We support a guy by the name of a famous Wang.
He graduated in 1999 from Rhema this guy.
Here is amazing. And so Amos has a church in
Singapore again but he has planted multiple churches
throughout the world and he is called to people who speak
Chinese, he has gone into China on more than one occasion.
And I remember one particular occasion, he was able to get
into China during winter Mad a smugly mental place.
There was no heater in the warehouse.
The people had been waiting for him for five hours.
So they could hear the word. I don't say that to make you
feel guilty. I say that because we're blessed
and we have the least amount of excuse out of all of our
Brothers and Sisters in Christ globally.
To not be about the father's business with passion.
Do not let the Comfort. This is what Jesus warned his
own Nation. He said I'm when I bring into
the Promised Land He said, I put you in houses.
You didn't build eating from Vineyards.
You didn't plant, don't forget me.
Don't forget me. You got to have a passion.
Because they're our brothers and sisters in parts of the world.
Right now that their very lives are at stake just to hear what
you're hearing. Easy, every service.
They would love to be to openly being a drive to a place of
assembly. In fact, they need, they are at
more risk of assembling than we are, but they know the necessity
of it more than we do. I mean if assembling was not
important, then why do they do it?
Because it is necessary all the more how about us.
True. Oh my goodness, are you hearing
me? Some of you are so limited in
what you're doing, I'm going to help you out.
Can help expand you a little bit.
If some of you would quit trying to plant all your vacations, all
the time for yourself and actually plan a mission trip.
God Not only would pay for your mission trip, bring you the
supply, but give you enough to stay over.
And hit some places you would have never seen before since
you're already over there. There's such a way to operate
in. His kingdom is amazing, it
really is. It's really amazing how to
operate in this Kingdom, if we will allow ourselves.
So he says, man their their lips right?
Their mouth and their lips are talking God, but their heart.
What will hinder your decree your heart?
Matthew 12:37, says, is for by your words, you will be
justified and by your words, you will be condemned.
So, whatever is coming out of your mouths, gonna need the
justify you, or condemn, you? Well, how if you're saying the
same thing? Because the previous verse these
people are actually glorifying god with their mouths.
They're worshiping him. They're praising him.
But the Lord's life don't even hear it.
I don't even hear it. Because their heart is not for
the Lord. Okay.
That does not mean they're not born again.
God understands that we have no idea what it means to live this
life of God when we first come and for many of us were just so
blown away that a loving, God would die for us and take on all
of our wrongdoing so that we wouldn't be eternally judged for
that. And that's just like wow you did
that for me, I'll make you Lord but there's a little bit of me
in that. Because I don't want to go to
hell. And I recognize that you love me
while I was still a sinner. And I'm going to take that
because the alternative I do not want But there's a little
selfish in that. I don't want to burn in hell.
Well, I really hate about burning the house about becoming
a child of God. The more we get focused on that,
which is what God would train Us by the spirit.
But if we never get over to that, it always just to be
about. I don't have to go to hell.
I don't have to do this. I don't have to have that.
I don't have to be judged. I don't have to be And there's a
little bit of selfishness in that which means then you, as a
Believer, could go your whole Christian Life.
And your heart be far from God because you're only thinking
about your own personal interest.
Well, I got my, my insurance plan now.
When I die, I go to heaven. I'm good.
I asked you to come into my heart and save me.
Now, these additional troops they're negotiable.
Because how do they fit my life? Yeah, let me jump on down there.
Jump on over to James chapter 4, I can come back, hit those other
scriptures or they may not. I may not do them James chapter
1 verse. Now, this is James talking to
the church. He says this.
He said, what is the source of your quarrels and conflicts?
I understand this told previous coming up to this stuff.
He's talking about faith, the life of faith.
Stole my, how do you know you actually are operating in faith?
Okay. So context of the whole book,
but he gets his head. What's the source of your
quarrels and the conflicts among you is not the source here?
Pleasures that wage war in your members.
What's the source of their conflict and quarrels?
It's their pleasures. It's my all right.
What they want to do. It's how I want God to serve me.
How I want God to serve me. It's how I want God to serve me.
He says, you lost. And you do not have well, lust
is a problem because lust is not love.
Lust is only about me and you can say well I'm believing God
for a big house. I'm believing God for boat.
I'm believing God for car. I'm believing God.
Well, is it at the assignment? Did he put that in your heart?
Or is this your pleasures? Are you hear me?
Many Believers have taken the scripture out of context and God
will give me the desires of my heart.
For those, they emphasize. My God will give me my The
desires of ma heart. So, the, The Desires in my
heart, originated with me, I've always wanted a big house, I've
always wanted a car. I've always wanted a ranch.
I've always wanted, well, you want a lot of stuff when you
were dead in your trespasses and sin because you were selfish,
you lusted after the world, Are you hearing me?
But really, it says God. That's the emphasis God will
give you the desires of your so the desires in, your heart are
given to you. So my desires were given to me
by so God gives me the desires of my heart.
So what does our I have was given to me by God, now we can
include a house. A boat.
I'm deaf, I'm talking material, it can.
Cause at the end of the day, if God needs that for you to
accomplish something for him, by all means, you should believe
God for it. Amen.
Because when it gets in your possession, you'll be using it.
For the sake of the glory of God, we got to get bigger in our
thinking and realized again if it's selfish, that's the
problem. But if it's for the glory of God
to be used by the king and his What they want.
Then, it's praise God. We had access to something that
allowed us to get somewhere. Are you hearing me?
Do I want a boat? You bet I want a boat.
I want a boat to build a hit down in the Caribbean so that
when they start shutting down borders, I can hit a beach.
Still get the gospel in. Tell maybe one of our pastors
meet me at this place. We'll come in offshore.
Are you hearing me? I got supplies even if the world
is not bringing it to you, the kingdom will.
She got to think in these along these lines, right?
He said, what's your source of quarrel in your lust?
You do not have. So you commit murder, you were
envious and cannot obtain you fight.
And quarrel you do not have because you do not.
Well, if you'd are asking meaning, if you're not speaking,
you're not talking to the Lord. You're not going to have it, but
then he goes on and says this, you act, you ask and do not
receive why, because you ask with wrong, There's many
Believers that are immature, baby Christians that are still
lusting after the things of the world.
All of a sudden find out that God will bless us and instead of
saying give me the blessing for my purpose, they're saying give
me the blessing for me. This is the parable of the
Prodigal Son. Because the parable of the
prodigal son, is he only wanted his inheritance for what
purpose, the youngest one to put it on himself and what happened
to his life? Pig slop life.
It became a pig slot Nicene great.
On. So his social media right when
he left was it was awesome. I mean he was flipping out all
the money. He had all the girls.
I mean this guy look like he was running it, he was the player.
Right? But did it ran out and all the
friends ran out because they weren't friends with him, they
were friends with the money, they were friends with the
inherit as they were Luster's, like he was and if you don't
have a supply, then your Lusty friends are leaving.
So now he's out there having to work starving, he's like man
that really looks good right now.
But then he comes to his senses. Like, man, I need go back home.
I didn't do dead, right, but dad's always done me, right?
Boy in God, a merciful. Father, I said India merciful,
father, he's a merciful father. Amen.
So again we're not here to receive so that we by asking
with wrong motives so that we may spend it on your pleasures.
The minute you begin to decree things just because the Bible
says, you can have stuff Your decree is not because you want
it. Your decree is because he needs
you to utilize it and you'll get enjoy the benefit of it.
Make no mistake about it. As long as it's in your
possession. But it's subject to change at
any time. Right because anything that we
possess, we know it's really the Lord's and we give it away.
I said we'd give it away. I'm giving away a few cars
myself, personally, giving them away.
Why? Because at the end of the day
they're really not mine. If any time if I own one and God
tells me to release it, I've wrote I'll release it.
I said I'll release it. Verse for you adulteress.
Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility
towards God? I can't look at the world and
they make a demand on God to give me.
What do I mean by that? I don't look at the world and
say, well, look, what the world has we should have that.
I would submit to you, I can't prove it but I feel pretty
confident that it exists within scripture, that people who
humble themselves before the Lord are not looking to have a
name. Which means the wealthiest
people in the planet. We may not actually know their
name. Because they're actually
believers. I mean, think about it.
Why would the devil want you to know?
One of your own is wealthier than the names?
We're hearing, are the wealthiest Why would he do that?
Because he don't want to give you any hope that you could
possess Now, not all of us are going to operate in the same
provision. It is based upon your purpose
but we will operate in the same provision in this context.
It's more than enough. I said it's more than enough.
The problem is many times we limit ourselves with provision
car. Like well, you know, I'm not
worthy to have any more than this.
Who am I to think of myself that I could have millions of dollars
or billions of dollars of filter through me?
Well, if the Lord says it do it. And again it's it's a, it's only
one part of kingdom. Advancement.
I only reason why I have to say provision like this, and because
this is what we can identify with you tend to identify with
that because you should have an endless supply.
Joy, you have an endless supply piece, you should be the most
peaceful people on the planet. Then when Calamity hits, you
just sleeping in the bow of the ship storms of life are going in
your life. I'm taking a nap.
Cause I've heard the Lord, he said, go to the other side.
I'm just gonna go to sleep right now.
You're not running around being anxious.
You're not trying to figure out how you can do.
You just believe he's just resting in the Lord.
So again, I don't look at the world to try to determine what I
need to make a demand of God. He goes there for whoever wishes
to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy to God.
I'm not trying to be comparable to the world, I just want what
God wants me to have based upon what I'm hearing him, say, and
functioning and odor capacity. I want to Joshua clay.
He went come down here real quick.
Joshua clay went with us to India.
Okay, it's a powerful testimony actually.
We're just going to do this testimony tell him I wiii happen
when you hit Saudi Arabia. Okay.
Now, please don't give it the clay expanded version.
Okay, let's give it, you know a pointed but enough that they
understand what took place you got it, got it.
Yeah, okay we're good. I had Pastor Earle just agree
with me. We wouldn't have issues with the
transfer that was going to take place from going from Saudi
Arabia in India. So I had a 3-hour layover.
When I showed up they pulled me aside into a room and said you
need to pay 238 US dollars for a visa to be here.
And I said well I'm just in the airport passing through no no,
no pull me aside. So, when I came out, I just
asked the Lord, when I first got there, I said, am I going to
have any issues here? Am I gonna have a headache, you
know, getting through. And I felt like the Lord said
not, you won't, you'll be okay. So I had my word, I'm good.
So after waiting about an hour, I came out and there was 50
Other people with the same problem.
So they're all yelling. I was the only person not crying
yelling her on my knees, but seriously there they were
freaking out. So I stood off back like 20 feet
from where everybody else was and the employees of the you
know the government employees of the airport.
We're watching ended up pulling the military in to calm
everybody down and have them chill out.
I'm standing far back. So one of the ladies comes up
and she's like I'm leaning up against the wall.
And she said, what are you with them?
I said no, no I'm not part of that she said so you're not
going to India on that flight that leaves in you know an hour
and 45 minutes. I said, well okay I'm in their
situation but I'm not over there with him she's like, well why
aren't you upset? Why aren't you stressed?
There's very stressed. Why don't you stressed?
I was like, I had enough wherewithal.
The moment I knew where I was, I wasn't go because Jesus Christ
is I have used some wisdom, right?
But I was like, I'm okay, I'm going to be taking care of no
problem. So, So she's like, would you
like a cup of coffee? I'll see, you know, that'd be
nice. So they brought me coffee and
again, no, stress. I knew the Lord told me, you
won't have a headache and I knew what that meant.
So I stood back another gentleman comes up, he's like
your passport, I want your passport.
Give me your passport and had somebody else.
He was it was an Arabic. So you had somebody else
translate like okay, you know him my passport and like you
said, no stress whatever. So he took my passport and
walked away and went away, and I've got about an hour before.
I need to be getting on my next plane and none of these people
have their issue. Already taken half of them made
them. Pay that dollar amount sent them
out of security and then I think about five of them, never made
it back to the plane. So the gentleman came back with
the passport and my boarding pass handed it to me and patted,
my shoulder and said, you'll be on your plane.
Don't worry about it. And as I look nobody else have
that so I stood back no problem. Another gentleman brought me
coffee and said, here's its Dunkin Donuts coffee from the
states like it's trash but sure, thank you weed.
But again just the picture you've got this guy from Italy
on his knees crying saying please please let me through
don't give us a hard time and people are yelling and waving
their passports and again I just had peace.
So sure enough whenever it came time to go through.
The gentleman that took my passport came and grabbed me by
the arm, ERM escorted me to the front of the line, all the way
up into the security system, security and realized I'll miss
my flight. If I go through this line and I
just stood back and said you gave me peace.
I've got 30 minutes. We'll see what happens.
They came up everybody in an uproar about the security line,
but I looked at the Diplomat line that had nobody in it and I
waited because, you know, I am in a kingdom and I'm on Kingdom
Business. So I looked at the gentleman in
the line. I was like, can I come there?
And he said, no, no, no. Yes, fine.
So I said, okay. So undid the line walked on
through. He didn't check my bag or
nothing, just said, go to your gate.
So I stood at my gate and I had 20 minutes to spare before
everybody else started showing it.
Hallelujah. Amen.
See that's here on the water. You kink.
That's recognizing he has said something.
I'm sure that Joshua was saying, you know what?
Lord you said tell me if I'm right now that at times you were
like you said I'm not gonna have a problem that you said that to
yourself. Yeah.
Because he's decree in the same thing.
He has what he says. He wasn't asking God to give him
$253. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
He didn't ask that what he said. The Lord he asked the Lord.
Am I going to have a challenge? He said you're not going to have
the same challenge. You're not going to have one.
Well he was in the room but God needed him to be there so that
he could get him to the government people that God has
ordained now to escort his son. Through the process.
Of getting his boarding pass and getting through security to get
to the gate. Are you hearing me?
Amen. And that's because he heard God
say you need to go on a trip. Amen, that he paid for the
flight. Because it was just going to be
my wife and I and my and the creative team always wants to go
to document so you can see. I said, man where we're at with
the mall? I'm not going to expense and he
came as a pastor. Earle, would you let me if I pay
myself? Go.
I said, well, if you want to invest in it, you can Ascend.
I once you get there, I'll take care of you.
And he did, he wasn't on my flight, he was on another crazy
flight. Amen.
But my point is, is he heard God, he acted on that.
He came, God saw him through Because his decree what he
didn't do, as he never doubted based upon what he saw.
Number two, he isn't being lustful.
Right? He says, do you say that the
scripture speaks of no purpose? He jealously desires.
A spiritually Spirit which he met has made two dwelling us.
Where's the spirit in you? We have no excuse not to only
say what God say he goes, but he gives greater a Greater Grace.
Therefore says God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the
humble. When God begins to speak to you
about a situation, he's gracing you for that decree to come to
pass. But if you're declaring his word
so that you'll look better, he'll resist you.
Humor is this? You even if the devil rewards
you Because if you start declaring name it claim it in
the context of it's me. I'm getting my look how blessed
I am. Look, what God does for me.
Look all that I have. Well the devil of Comedy.
Get you something. For the purpose of you, losing
your soul. I remember one day there's a
minister if I mentioned his name you know him he was could
another Minister spoke to him concerning his subject that he
ministers on all the time and he's off But he's world famous.
And that Minister, I talked to this Minister personally, that
confronted them about this in private.
Went through scripture line, upon line concerning the
subject, eventually, this, what this world-renowned Minister
says, well how could I be wrong with all the wealth that I'm
getting? Wealth is not an indicator you
have the right Doctrine. He said, if I said that now, I'd
lose all that. Well, So what did he do?
He's for Fitness. Soul for the world.
Still preaching today, and some of y'all listen to him.
You need to get some discern. I said you need to get
discernment but some of y'all listen to him.
Submit therefore to God resist the devil, and he will flee.
So when we submit to God, lord, what's your plan?
What's your purpose? What am I hearing from you?
And then in turn are saying it because our desire, and our
motivation is only to glorify him.
Then our decree will always come to pass because we never doubt
what the King has said to be done will be done.
And our motive is only to see him glorified even though we In
most cases. Will receive a benefit from it
as well. Will be a direct recipient of
being a benefit of it as well, because God's not trying to
overlook you. God loves his children.
I said God loves his children. I love what Joshua said, right
now. When he said I looked over at
the Diplomat line Diplomat, but he is a diplomat, he's an
ambassador problem is I can't show you my passport.
It's the Holy Ghost Inside Me. That is my seal.
That proves that I am an ambassador for Christ.
Very difficult to see that In the natural, but the Holy Ghost.
I don't know whether this is the spirit of God, on that Diplomat
line guy or an angel, one of the other said I was wrong.
Answer. You need ask him to come.
Yeah, come on. Right now, Josh probably would
have been more attractive with this curly hair that day.
All right, let's close with a few scriptures here.
First Peter chapter 3 verse 10 says this, for the one who
desires life to love and to see good days must keep his tongue
from evil and his lips from speaking, deceit.
Proverbs 13 3 says the one who guards his mouth preserves his
life. The one who opens wives his lips
comes to ruin. It's very important that we just
don't say. I don't need a piece of your
mind. Nobody needs a piece of your
mind. Let me tell you what I think.
Don't don't do it. And quit doing it on social
media. Don't do it.
Okay, they don't need to hear it.
At the end of the day. Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord. I put very little value on our
social media. It's there but I put very little
value because I know the ones running, it are controlling it
so I really don't know how I have to trust that God is able
to interrupt their algorithms for his word sake.
But my faith in the future of his church is not on social
media. It's in going and preaching.
The gospel is the scent once. So what we're sending.
But at the end of the day, what do we say?
We've got to guard our mouths, got to keep our tongue, Psalms
34 13 says, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from
speaking to. See, right?
Proverbs 1020 says this, the tongue of the righteous is as is
as Choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is worth little.
So how do you know you're going to have what you say?
Well, you gotta have a heart towards God and then you have to
be firmly persuaded that when you hear what he says.
And you say it, it will come Come to pass.
Never doubting. I said, never doubt it Abraham.
It was spoken of him that he did not grow weak in unbelief.
He did not turn and go on and it's going to happen.
In fact, when he slept with the other woman, it wasn't because
he doubted somebody's getting pregnant.
He believed the whole while someone's getting pregnant.
Maybe I miss it. And my wife was right and she,
it comes through her, but the Lord.
Correct sentence says, no, that was not the plan.
Now, I gotta deal with this seat.
That was never my plan. Amen, jarek.
Sarah is going to be the one and he made that clear.
After the fact, then later on when Sarah needs to separate
from them, after Isaac's, born, the Lord says, you need to
follow what Sarah says are you hearing me?
So he did. But we are got it, we got a
guard or mouths in this world. There's a lot of evil stuff
talking. There's a lot of opinions We got
to be careful, just saying stuff.
Just speaking things, just declaring things.
We may be able to say something factual and be correct, but it's
more important that we get to speaking.
What truth is In the realm of healing.
You could factually. Say I have cancer.
But are we going to only say that are we going to say, I'm
the hill of the Lord? Cancers dead cancer.
You're dead and my body can't see.
You can't live. Let me tell you, two things in
the world. Are you going to keep saying
what the news is saying? Are going to keep saying media
is manipulated even if that's factual, are you going to say
that our government is corrupt? Even if that's factual Is this
what we're going to keep saying? Are we going to find a true to
say instead? You cannot decrease something
that will force someone else's will without their will being
involved to change. What I decree you're going to do
this for me. Well if they don't want to do it
for you, they don't go do it for you because if God could decree
that he'd say, I decree that you're saved.
But you can decree what the will of God is and if someone chooses
not to, they'll get what is the opposite of the decree, Jesus,
decreed I'm the way the truth and the life.
No man comes to the father but through me which means then if
you don't come through him then you don't come.
And that decree is truth, that decree is forever standing that
decree is in effect today And he issued, another all that call on
the name of the Lord will be saved.
That decree is standing and it's in effect, but it won't make you
believe. And if you choose not, you'll
get the opposite. You'll not come to the father
and you'll not be saved. So it's up to you today.
Will you believe the report of the Lord the word of the Lord?
The decree of our King? And be born of his King,
whatever head bowed. Every eye closed on was looking
around father, this year. I thank you that you fine-tune
