1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,760 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,160 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:16,000 Now enjoy this message. But how many? 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,400 Remember what this year is? Because you understand I'm not 5 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,800 going to minister that Sunday. I got some other things to do. 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,960 So I wanted to kind of end out a Wednesday night on reminding us 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,480 of what this year was. Because you have what's today, 8 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,680 the 20th. You have 11 days to get your 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,080 mouth together, all right. To rekindle what you started 10 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,040 saying, to check up on yourself and make sure that you cause. 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,280 Here's the thing, just because there was an emphasis in the 12 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,480 area of our miles this year, it was raining residents, which 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,240 means our decree should go beyond our lifetime, OK. 14 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,160 And that there's power in our words. 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,720 We're going to see this again tonight. 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,280 But you understand it doesn't stop when 2024 hits. 17 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,480 Because you know, what I am extremely aware of is that when 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,040 God brought us in the 2017 and he said, Pastor Earl, this is 19 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,880 your year to equip the Saints, we're going to deal with 20 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,320 equipping like never before. And we started on a journey 21 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,560 that's produced a book and it took three years to do that. 22 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800 Because then 2018 came and we did it again, two point O and we 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,160 did it equipped again 3 point O. Then we got to 2020 and it was 24 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,000 year to rain and we've been talking about raining ever 25 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,480 since. But what's interesting is in the 26 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,680 Year to Rain was the year the world shut down and God had 27 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,080 given us three years as a corporate body. 28 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,160 Not that we aren't equipping because man, if you've not been 29 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,320 to anchor Faith Church long, let me just let you know what goes 30 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,640 on here. I mean, we have services on 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480 Sunday and on Sunday before you even come into service, you can 32 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,640 do an Anchor Faith live class. There are three that are running 33 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,240 each Sunday that you can attend to continue to grow and develop. 34 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,440 As a believer, we are into discipling the Saints because 35 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,240 the Bible says go make disciples, not converts. 36 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:22,040 Although we have evangelistic things that we do, we are very 37 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,000 purposeful in discipling the believer. 38 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,680 OK, and so you can do that then. Then, if you're not doing one of 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,440 those classes, you can come to corporate prayer. 40 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,120 At 9:30, 10/30, we're hitting our classes. 41 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,200 If you are a vision partner on Sunday night you can attend our 42 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Kingdom Institute, by which you would take three classes, right? 43 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,560 And then you can be disciple there. 44 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,480 If you are a male, that is a male by birth. 45 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,280 You can then attend our 318 classes on Monday night, OK. 46 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,000 And so that's a three-year commitment as well. 47 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,960 So we have that discipleship. Then our women at various times 48 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,360 through the year, they go through some additional 49 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,480 training, discipleship through books and various meetings. 50 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,600 Same thing we do some general sessions with men, not to 51 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,160 mention our Wednesday night that we do here at the church where 52 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,400 we're always training people and doing stuff. 53 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,960 I mean, we're constantly in a position where we are wanting 54 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,640 the Bible or the Saint to grow up and mature. 55 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,680 But there was an emphasis throughout those three years of 56 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,840 what it means to actually be equipped. 57 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,560 And as you remember, one of our context was, if all you do is 58 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,240 educate the body of Christ, and this isn't our book equipped, 59 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,680 there's some great stuffing stalkers out there, stock 60 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,800 stuffing, stocking stuffers. Thank you. 61 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,600 Out there is that if all the church does is educate their 62 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,200 body the best they can produce as a Pharisee. 63 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Because God never intended for the fivefold ministry to only 64 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,360 educate the body. He expected them to equip them. 65 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,840 And equipping is more than education, OK. 66 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,080 And so you know, we endeavor to do that here. 67 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,840 So when we came through those three years, we found out who 68 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,519 developed an equipped body. Because when the world shut 69 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,440 down, the church that Jesus Christ is building prospered and 70 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,400 flourished. During that trial, it continued 71 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,040 to grow. It took its persecution, but it 72 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,360 did not back down and it is thriving today. 73 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,520 Well, then we get into raining, and this may be our theme till 74 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,640 Jesus comes, which could be very soon, extremely soon, super 75 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,920 soon. That's why we're probably 76 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,880 talking about all the things we're talking about by the 77 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,080 Spirit. So you just need to look up and 78 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,840 start practicing flying like Superman, right, 'cause people 79 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,120 go watch me go up and I'm not going to look stupid. 80 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400 How many of you are one of those 80s kids like me? 81 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,760 And there was that one show called The Greatest American 82 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,720 Hero. Remember that show? 83 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,680 And he lost the manual on how to fly and he stunk at flying. 84 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440 I'm not going to look like that being caught up. 85 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,200 And if you do, I'm going to tell you. 86 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,560 When we get to the Lord, you look like the greatest American 87 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,640 hero guy. You should have been practicing. 88 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,480 Say, well, Pastor Earl, how do I practice? 89 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,280 We have gravity. Just jump out over on your bed, 90 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,560 you know, see yourself flying. Imagine it. 91 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,560 Have faith that you're going to look good. 92 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,560 Got to believe God, for some things you understand. 93 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,920 Not like you're going to just be doing somersaults all the way 94 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:46,280 up, screaming, no, you're going to be like, all right, 95 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,360 Hallelujah. So it's reigning residents for 96 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,920 2023. Amen. 97 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,520 And it's concerning the Kingdom principle of decree. 98 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,040 A decree is a Kingdom principle of decree is a royal decree is 99 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,880 the declaration of a king that becomes law. 100 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,080 It is sustained by the King's personal commitment to bring the 101 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,520 declaration or promise to pass. What is a decree? 102 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,560 By just a simple definition, it's an official order having 103 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,760 the force of law given by a person with power or by a 104 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,120 government. OK, why are we talking to Creed? 105 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,520 Well, if you've been at Anchorage church long, do you 106 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,160 know that we know that the Bible is not not a religious book. 107 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,680 It's about a king, his Kingdom, and his royal offspring. 108 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,320 All right? And that's all the Bibles ever 109 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,440 been about. And when we see in Genesis 110 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,240 chapter one, verse 26, when God said, let us make man in our 111 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,880 image according to our likeness and let him have dominion or 112 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,200 rule on the earth. So God created man in his image, 113 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,840 in his likeness. So as God rules in heaven, man 114 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:53,240 was the rule over the earth as God wanted him to. 115 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,800 And in turn, both heaven and earth would have had the same 116 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,000 environment of which God came down the cool of day, spent time 117 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,120 with Adam and Eve, no issue. But when Adam abdicated his 118 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,200 throne by eating the fruit, God told him not to eat. 119 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,360 Then he turned his power over to the devil, which is clearly 120 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,240 outlined in Luke chapter four that he received that when he 121 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200 was tempting Jesus, he said, I'll give you all this domain in 122 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,440 a moment of time, for it's been handed over to me. 123 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,200 It was handed over to him by the 1st Adam in the garden, who 124 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,760 rebelled against God, ate the fruit, and handed that power to 125 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,000 the devil. Jesus Christ said I came to 126 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,240 destroy the works of the devil, right? 127 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,520 Which is the sin or rebellion against God's word. 128 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,320 That's why Jesus only did what God said, because he's the last 129 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,840 Adam. And all the miracles that Jesus 130 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,800 performed in the four gospels we know were under the dominion 131 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,560 that Adam had. What was that dominion He had 132 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,960 demean over the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, over 133 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,600 all the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creepy 134 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,400 thing that creeps on the earth. So it's not surprising when he 135 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,120 can tell Peter, go out into the deep and put your neck down, 136 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,440 'cause fish will listen to him. Because fish were going to 137 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,840 listen to the first Adam. OK, This is why he can say, 138 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,360 Peter, go throw your hook in in the water and the first fish 139 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,440 that comes is going to have your tax and my tax in it. 140 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,440 And that fish heard him when he gave that order or decree to 141 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,240 Peter. And when Peter obeyed that 142 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,320 decree, that fish obeyed the King's decree, found the 2 143 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,600 coins, and went and found Peter. Are you hearing me? 144 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,039 So we know this again. Jesus could curse a fig tree 145 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,880 pretty easy because it's a plant in the planet, right? 146 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,880 He could speak to it. This is why he can multiply the 147 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,000 loaves, because they came from grain, which came from the earth 148 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,240 itself, and it had to listen to him okay. 149 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,840 And so this is all about rulership. 150 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,240 It's all about God being the ultimate king. 151 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,480 Jesus is the king of And who are those kings? 152 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,320 We are those kings and we are not those kings when we get to 153 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,560 heaven where those kings the minute we come into the Kingdom 154 00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:03,120 of God because we are transferred out of the domain of 155 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,520 darkness into the Kingdom of his beloved Son. 156 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,320 A Kingdom, The Kingdom of God does have a physical place to 157 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,160 it, but it's not necessary for it to be active. 158 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,040 Just like it's not necessary for the United States to own every 159 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,160 piece of real estate on the globe to enforce this policies. 160 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,480 Because if you attack an embassy in a foreign territory, by all 161 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,840 rights our nation can come after your nation and you are 162 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,960 ambassadors for Christ. And when people try to attack 163 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,520 the church, by all rights you're authorizing God to send his 164 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,880 special forces. They're called angels and they 165 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:50,880 will smoke you. There's not an army nor a bomb 166 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,320 big enough. Are you hearing me? 167 00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,440 Because those guys are so stealth they can get in behind 168 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,600 enemy lines. Push your button, let it blow up 169 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,760 and walk out. Hallelujah. 170 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,120 So the church is not this beat down. 171 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,880 You know all. We're just wringing our hands 172 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,600 wishing Jesus would come back. We are the most powerful force 173 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,600 on the face of the planet. Amen. 174 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,120 Now we are terrorized and there's tribulations that come 175 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,360 to us because the world hates us and hates God. 176 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120 But we are not in the position of inferiority. 177 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,320 We're in the position of power. And that's why we have mercy and 178 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,360 compassion when we see people attack us. 179 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Because like, you just don't know. 180 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,040 You don't know you're on the wrong side. 181 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,000 You don't know you're on the side that's ultimately going to 182 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,040 lose. And I'm going to respond in a 183 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,600 way that you're not even used to in order to help open up your 184 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,120 heart and your eyes to see so that you'll accept the same 185 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Christ that I did. So you can get out of that junk 186 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,160 and get into what we're in. Are you hearing me? 187 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,560 So then because God made man in his image and image of his 188 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,160 likeness, we know that one of the very first assignments he 189 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,240 did with Adam, when he changed in the guard, he brought him all 190 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,560 the animals and he said to Adam, he said, you name them. 191 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,480 Now, why did you do that? Because God declares with his 192 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,040 words, and so he required then Adam to declare with his words 193 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,040 as well. So our decree rest in what we 194 00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,920 hear Jesus saying, not in what the world is saying. 195 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,560 Amen. And it is heir to think that the 196 00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:35,200 whole world can have a unified idea. 197 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,560 And for some reason we think that's God when the majority of 198 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:43,040 the world does not hold an allegiance to our King and it 199 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,400 always tries to come about it in a particular way to discredit 200 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,320 who we serve. And so, you know, when the mass 201 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,120 majority agrees on a thing, you should take a step back and say 202 00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:01,880 because again, we are not led by what we see or what we hear, we 203 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,400 are led by the spirit of God. You know, he can tell you 204 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,480 something different now. The world can be accurate, 205 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,360 actually concerning a condition. I'll give you a case in point. 206 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,680 Isaac. You know the son of Abraham is 207 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,320 in the land and there is a famine. 208 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,720 And it's factual. There's a famine and everyone is 209 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,840 taking the advice of the land and that is go to Egypt. 210 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,800 That's where you can prosper. But Isaac heard God, and God 211 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,840 said, don't you go to Egypt, You plant right here. 212 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,400 Now, Do you think God knows there's a famine? 213 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,560 Sure he does. Is he moved by it? 214 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,160 No. I mean, this is God getting rid 215 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,160 of competition. Just to be honest with you, I'll 216 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,840 just go ahead and get rid of all the competition. 217 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,000 Let you be the only one in the land to plant. 218 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,280 Then he does. And he ends up having what the 219 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,240 farmers call a bumper crop. I mean, he has a hundredfold 220 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800 return. And the transfer of the wealth 221 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880 of that area goes straight into Isaac. 222 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:09,520 Why? Because he wasn't moved by what 223 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,720 he saw, He was only moved by what he heard. 224 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,960 And we have to do that all the more as we see the day 225 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,720 approaching, is that we must become proficient at being led 226 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,640 by the Spirit. Now let me caveat that the Holy 227 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Spirit will never say anything outside the alignment of His 228 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,880 word. So if you come to me and say I 229 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,520 heard the Holy Ghost say and it is in, it is not in keeping with 230 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,320 the scripture, I'll have to tell you you're not telling me the 231 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,040 truth. Now I need to help you 232 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,640 understand how to hear the Holy Ghost 'cause that really wasn't 233 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,520 his voice. Now it probably was a spirit. 234 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,200 It just wasn't the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit will 235 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,400 never speak against or violate truths within God's word. 236 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,400 I'm not telling you he's going to give you specific Scriptures. 237 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,200 What I am saying is that whatever concept he gives you is 238 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,680 going to have a biblical truth based to it, whatever that 239 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:11,120 leading is, and you'll be able to trust it emphatically without 240 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,240 doubting, and it will come to pass. 241 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,840 Amen. So then God's Word in your mouth 242 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,120 is the same as God's Word in his mouth if you are firmly 243 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,040 persuaded the authority of God is in what you say. 244 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,720 This is not just reciting Scripture. 245 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:34,120 This is being firmly persuaded that the Word I just said, God's 246 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,320 authority is within it to perform it, period. 247 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,440 And it cannot be any other way. And the easiest way to explain 248 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,640 this one is you know when you first came into the Kingdom of 249 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,200 God, OK? And the reason you want to use 250 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,000 this one is because you didn't know Jack, right? 251 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,840 You just knew I ain't right with God. 252 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,520 And somebody right now is telling me that if I believe in 253 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,840 my heart and confess with my mouth, Jesus Christ is Lord. 254 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,920 That He that he was born of the Virgin. 255 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,520 He died on the cross. He was dead for three days, but 256 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,400 on the third day the Holy Ghost raised him. 257 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,240 And I can't get to God by myself. 258 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,560 I could not do it alone. I need what he did, His 259 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,120 sacrifice his blood to take care of my sin issue. 260 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,440 OK, so I'm. I call him Lord, which is not a 261 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,520 religious word. It means supreme in authority. 262 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,360 He is supreme in authority of my life. 263 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,400 OK, When you did that, when you made that confession, which is a 264 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:33,000 scripture at the end of the day, then you know you were born 265 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,560 again. You didn't go and say, well, I 266 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,920 hope I got it, 'cause if you said that, then you made a 267 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:45,280 confession where your mouth without your heart, because you 268 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,400 can say God's word and not believe it. 269 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,440 That's what Pharisees do, right? That's what lost people do. 270 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,400 You know, Jesus himself says, you know, they, they use my 271 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,440 word, you know, But there are hearts far from me, OK? 272 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,160 And so when you truly believe, I mean, it's every bit of your 273 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,920 being, you are firmly persuaded that I am right with God. 274 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,760 And with this confession, I believe God. 275 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,400 I believe God at His word. Well, then, you know you're born 276 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,800 again. And 1st John 513 confirms that. 277 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,640 He says, you know, that once we've accepted Christ, we will 278 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,400 know that we have eternal life. So I know I do. 279 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,280 I mean, I know that I have no doubt about that. 280 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,760 I know that I am right with God now. 281 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,280 Why else do I know it? Because another scripture tells 282 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,560 me that since I was born again, I became a new creature in 283 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Christ. But the Holy Ghost came and 284 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,200 moved in on the inside and bore witness with my spirit. 285 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,880 I'm a child of God, so I had the Holy Ghost telling me, which 286 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640 again, sure, he would tell me that because the scripture tells 287 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,240 me he would tell me that. Now what he wouldn't do is say 288 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,200 you're the most special one of all. 289 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,840 Now we're all special, but ain't none of us better than others. 290 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,480 We all have equal access to the Father, but not all of us enjoy 291 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,680 the benefits of the Father because not all of us accessing. 292 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Although we have equality to do so now, we're not all equal 293 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,720 because our assignments dictate what our Father needs us to 294 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,240 have, and that doesn't show favoritism. 295 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,160 That's just called placement. Are you hearing me all right? 296 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,800 Because if that was a problem for you, then you'd have a 297 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:33,080 problem when he said, well, I gave 1512111, but the five and 298 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,360 the two, when they did what he knew they could do, what was his 299 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,240 report on both of them? Well done. 300 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,200 And that's pretty amazing. So again, we're not in 301 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,680 competition with one another. We're just doing what God's 302 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,920 called us to do to accomplish the task. 303 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,120 Amen. All right. 304 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:51,560 I better get moving or I won't finish tonight. 305 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,080 OK. So with that being said, Psalms 306 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,360 33, verse 9. For he spoke and it was done. 307 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080 Man, you should just say that 100 times. 308 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,160 I mean, this one verse should be on your refrigerator, right? 309 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:07,960 I mean, it's right here. Get you jacked up, right? 310 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,960 For he spoke and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. 311 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,560 That's our father. Our father is not how some 312 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,320 people well, you know if the Lord wants it or not, you know, 313 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,840 well, I mean our God is not like that. 314 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,160 Our God does His word. So when someone's talking like 315 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,840 that, then I I know, OK, you haven't got, you have not set 316 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:38,320 down enough and heard the father's word on it yet to have 317 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,280 a confidence. And that's OK. 318 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,000 But you need to have at least acknowledge that that I haven't. 319 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:53,040 I do not have at this point such confidence that I've heard him 320 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,880 on this matter because when he speaks, it's done. 321 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,000 Now I'm going to add this to my book capacity when we write it. 322 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,200 I was listening to Doctor Miles Monroe the other day and he made 323 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,720 this statement. I thought, wow, I knew right 324 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,720 then. I said I might have to put that 325 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,520 in that capacity book when we write it. 326 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,160 He said, you know, because the Scripture says that the Lord 327 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,160 knows the beginning from the end. 328 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:28,240 And so he says this if God starts something with you, it is 329 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:34,800 guarantee that it's completed because he knows the beginning 330 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,720 where from the end. Which means then he's not asked. 331 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,080 He If he's asked you start this, his guaranteed is completed 332 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,080 because he never starts something that he hadn't already 333 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,920 finished. Wow, you know, so people here, 334 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,000 all the Lord wants me. Don't be afraid. 335 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,360 He's already got it mapped out. Your assignment in this process 336 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:02,640 now is to be led by the Spirit and stay on the path. 337 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,400 Let his words be a lamp into your feet and a light into your 338 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,800 path. You're guaranteed. 339 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,960 Amen. Now, that's if you're hearing 340 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,160 right. Because again, when the Lord 341 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,920 says it, he's already had the end before he spoke. 342 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,520 The beginning. All right. 343 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,040 So he spoke. It was done. 344 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,440 He commanded. It stood fast. 345 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,440 Look at Psalms, 148 verses five and six, he said. 346 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,080 Let them praise the name of the Lord. 347 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,240 For he commanded and they and they were created. 348 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,480 He also established them forever and ever. 349 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:41,480 He has made a decree which will not pass away. 350 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,640 Amen. Will not pass away. 351 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,680 So when the Lord speaks, that's why he's careful at what he 352 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,160 says. He himself is obligated to the 353 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,280 word He says. This is why. 354 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,240 And you know, I'm not going to go down and teach this at this 355 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,800 juncture because there's too many new people in here and I'm 356 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,920 not going to go there. But when the Lord said to Adam, 357 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,720 you can eat from any tree of the garden, but at the tree of the 358 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,240 knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat for the day you 359 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:22,440 eat, you will surely die. That's going to happen. 360 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,280 Let me back up one. Let us make man in our image 361 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,480 according to our likeness, and let them have dominion. 362 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,400 Rule over what? The earth. 363 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,560 They don't own the planet, but they are to rule the planet. 364 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,600 So who now rules planet Earth? Man does not God. 365 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,200 Then he tells his man. You get to do this as long as 366 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,880 you are obeying what I say. But if you eat this, you're 367 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,640 going to die and we're going to be separated. 368 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,560 Adam has never blown it his whole life, never made a 369 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,280 mistake, never sinned, didn't even know what sin was. 370 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:12,000 Then a tempter shows up in the garden, right convinces Eve to 371 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,160 eat the fruit, of which she does. 372 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:18,280 Adam totally rebels, eats the fruit, and then two things 373 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,520 occur. A transfer of power doesn't go 374 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:28,120 back to God, but goes to the voice they submitted to. 375 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,520 Because notice when Jesus was being tempted by the devil in 376 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,160 Luke chapter four, he said. All this domain's been given to 377 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,560 me. You know I can give to you. 378 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,560 I have it. I can give it to you. 379 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,200 Give it to whoever I wish, because it's been handed over to 380 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,160 me. Notice she didn't say it is 381 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,840 written. The earth is the Lord and the 382 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,960 fullness thereof. Notice he did not say that 383 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,720 verse. He did not rebuke that thought. 384 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:08,400 OK, he said. I'll give this to you if you'll 385 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,960 fall down to worship me. And he says it is written you're 386 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,680 only going to worship God. That's all we going to do. 387 00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:20,120 Because you don't know I have a plan to get it back legally. 388 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,200 You understand what I'm saying? We got a plan you're unaware of. 389 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,200 OK, so then the minute that takes place, God doesn't come 390 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,760 down because the way we talk about the Father today, you 391 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,440 know, why didn't the father just come down and say, Adam, where 392 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,480 are you? Right. 393 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,520 And he said, well, you know, we were naked and we hid ourselves. 394 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,480 Well, who told you you were naked? 395 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,760 Did you eat the fruit? I told you you weren't supposed 396 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,760 to. Well, it's that woman you gave 397 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,240 me. She ate it and gave it to me. 398 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,520 He goes to Eve, right? You know, he's blaming God, not 399 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,160 Eve. So he goes to Eve, said what he 400 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,960 does, she tells the truth. I was deceived. 401 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,440 I ate the fruit from this serpent. 402 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,720 So he goes to the serpent and he goes and says, OK, I'm, I'm 403 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,600 obligated to my decree. So this is what we call an 404 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,440 amendment. He said, well, I'm going to 405 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:18,760 bring my seed through a woman because I can't use man. 406 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,960 His seed's corrupt, so I'm going to bring my seed through the 407 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:32,720 woman, OK? And Joshua? 408 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,920 Where's Joshua? Shirley. 409 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,520 Joshua hates it when I do this, too. 410 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,440 I call him out. Yeah, he probably is. 411 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,160 Joshua, you're going to want to talk to me about God? 412 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,600 Said to the serpent. I'll bring my seat through the 413 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,800 woman. OK. 414 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,400 You'll crush his, you know. You'll bruise his heel, but 415 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,200 he'll crush your head again. We we treat forgiveness so 416 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,480 flippantly now. Why didn't God just say Adam? 417 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,000 I forgive you. Let's just sound like it didn't 418 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,480 happen. I mean, you never made a mistake 419 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,200 before because he's obligated to his word. 420 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:25,200 Do you think he loved Adam? Sure he did. 421 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,680 But love put Adam out the garden. 422 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,400 He did that because his word he has to perform. 423 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,360 He can't let emotions dictate his decisions. 424 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,720 And that's the power of our words. 425 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,320 Are you hearing me? Colossians 116 and 17. 426 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,520 For by all by Him all things were created, both in heaven and 427 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,880 on earth, visible and invisible, whether Thrones or dominions or 428 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,040 rulers or authorities. All things have been created 429 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,120 through him and for him He is before all things, and in him 430 00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:06,600 all things hold together. Revelations 411 Worthy are you, 431 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,720 O Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power? 432 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,200 For you created all things, and because of your will they exist, 433 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,080 and were created at His Word. Then when we get Jesus in the 434 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,520 flesh because he decreed He would come because he can't stop 435 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,920 death now in this way deaths in the earth. 436 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,440 So he's obligated to his word said, well I'll have to pay the 437 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,200 price because the wages of sin is so somebody's got to die. 438 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,120 So guess who dies? God. 439 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:53,960 He puts his Son in a skin suit, which is himself. 440 00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,600 Yeah, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 441 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,520 So we know God. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, 442 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,400 our God, the second person of God. 443 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,640 So in essence, God says I'll die. 444 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,680 I'm going to do it. I'm the only one who can. 445 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,400 I'm the only one righteous enough. 446 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,200 I'm the only one who can redeem. Amen. 447 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,280 He created the plan because the other plan's still in play. 448 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,040 Man's died and man's dead didn't stop. 449 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,120 But the alternative to come back in alignment with what God 450 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:38,560 wanted for man, which is to have dominion, has now been reopened 451 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,800 because of Jesus. Hallelujah. 452 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,800 So Jesus. Then when he God, gets in the 453 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,640 flesh, God the Son in the flesh, we call him Jesus. 454 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,200 Notice how he functioned on the planet. 455 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,200 It says this in John chapter 12, verse 49 and 50. 456 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,960 Because Jesus knew he was a king, right? 457 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,880 Jesus knew he was a king. I mean, he said, you know, 458 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,360 talking to the woman at the well because the woman at the well is 459 00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,480 like, you know, can you tell me when the Christ, when they say 460 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,200 the Christ, that's not Jesus last name. 461 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,640 As you know, that is title. That is the Greek equivalent to 462 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,440 the Hebrew word Messiah. That is the king who's coming 463 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,000 and he's going to set up his Kingdom. 464 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,640 There's going to be no wind. They looking for a king. 465 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:28,440 They ain't looking for a lamb, but the king is a lamb and a 466 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,680 lion. He had to be the lamb first. 467 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,320 He's coming back as a lion, bro. I'm telling you, he is not 468 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,840 coming back as a suffering servant. 469 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,080 He is not coming back as a lamb. He is coming back as a lion, a 470 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:46,240 Judah with a scepter to rule. OK, he's paid that price. 471 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,720 He went to battle for you. He did not let the troops come. 472 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,760 He said. I got this all by myself, I'll 473 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,840 pay this price for you. But notice when Jesus wrapped 474 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,040 himself in man. Look how he functioned on the 475 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,960 planet. Because again, Jesus did not 476 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,480 come to earth to let you know what he can do. 477 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,520 He came to earth to let you know what you can do when you are in 478 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,080 Him, because this is how man was supposed to function. 479 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,280 That's why I said every miracle that Jesus performed was in the 480 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,680 dominion that the first Adam lost. 481 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,520 So he says. For I do not speak on my own, 482 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,320 but my Father himself, who sent me, has given me a command as to 483 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,280 what to say and what to speak. I know that His commandment is 484 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,480 eternal life. Therefore I therefore the things 485 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,720 I speak, I speak just as a Father has told me. 486 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,800 We run off at the mouth because we have too much USA government 487 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:42,320 in our way of life. Now what do I mean by that? 488 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,680 You exercise your First Amendment in God's Kingdom. 489 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:53,160 Now let me just be honest with you. 490 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,560 There is no First Amendment in the Kingdom. 491 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,120 Now there's free will in the Kingdom, but people who love God 492 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,720 say I just speak the word. Because again, you realize this 493 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,160 isn't about denying me. I wouldn't even be here if it 494 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,520 wasn't for him. He is the existence of life. 495 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,280 To speak anything other than he says means I speak death. 496 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,360 Again, we look at this thing as right and wrong, good and evil, 497 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,280 but when it comes to God, this is life and death stuff. 498 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,360 So your First Amendment right in the Kingdom doesn't exist, but 499 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,040 we sure use it in the USA church. 500 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,760 Well, let me tell you what I think. 501 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:52,920 Oh, freedom of speech. OK, right. 502 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,040 I mean, that's like having the having Jesus Christ himself 503 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,280 stand up here, or the Holy Ghost, one of the other. 504 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,680 And they tell you what they meant in the book and you argue 505 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,400 with them. Well, I don't. 506 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,440 I just can't believe. I don't think it's that way. 507 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,840 Seriously, let me tell you what I think. 508 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,520 Right? I have a right to say something. 509 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,760 There's freedom of speech here. Well, you know what? 510 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,000 God will let you think what you want and do what you want, but 511 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,960 he'll hold you accountable to what you think and what you do. 512 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,320 And it'd be according to his word again. 513 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,720 So if anybody ever accuses you of being afraid of some groups 514 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,000 or being certain ways, you're like, no problem bro. 515 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,320 You can do whatever you wanna do, gotta let you do whatever 516 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,920 you wanna do. But at the end of the day, 517 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,320 you're gonna be held accountable to what you did. 518 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,200 According to his word. At the end of the day, I'm not 519 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,320 here to make you be different. I'm just saying you it's not my 520 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,080 opinion in the matter. See, that's what ambassadors do. 521 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,000 Ambassadors don't give their. I'm just tell you right now in 522 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,280 our U.S. government, our ambassadors are supposed to. 523 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,760 I'm not saying that they all do it because I don't live around 524 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,200 them. Right. 525 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,080 But by policy and ambassador is not supposed to speak his 526 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,760 opinion. Well, I really think the US 527 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,920 should do this concerning the Ukraine conflict, or I really 528 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,040 think the US should do this concerning the Israel and Gaza 529 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,760 Strip conflict. Ambassadors don't do that. 530 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,120 Ambassadors say, I have no opinion in the matter, but our 531 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:25,480 president's position is, and that's all they speak. 532 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,560 That doesn't mean they don't have an idea, but we're supposed 533 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,920 to be ambassadors for Christ. But what do we do? 534 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,400 We bring our First Amendment rights in on our marriages. 535 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,360 We bring our First Amendment rights in on our parenting. 536 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,440 We bring our First Amendment rights on. 537 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,960 You know how often we come to church? 538 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,320 1st Amendment rights concerning healing. 539 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,240 I mean, the list could go on. You know, I have no opinion in 540 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,840 the matter. I only speak what the Father 541 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,040 says. So what's the Father say 542 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,040 concerning this subject that I've been right now? 543 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,760 Are y'all doing all right? All right, John. 14 verses 10 to 544 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400 14 says this. Do you not believe that I am in 545 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,640 the Father? The Father is in Me. 546 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,560 The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own initiative, 547 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,080 but the Father abiding in me does his work. 548 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,760 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. 549 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,480 Otherwise believe because of the works themselves. 550 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,720 Truly I say to you, he who believes in me and the works 551 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,560 that I do, He will do also and greater worse then these will he 552 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:32,240 do because I go to the Father whatever you ask in my name that 553 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,840 will I do so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 554 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,880 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. 555 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,680 Wow, what a guarantee. How awesome is that? 556 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:53,320 Now if only every Jesus Christ confessing believer believe that 557 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,840 I mean was firmly persuaded and got rid of their U.S. government 558 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,080 thinking concerning the Bible, then it would be this way. 559 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,280 Oh man, their lives will be different. 560 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,480 John 828 and 29 So Jesus said, when you lift up the Son of Man, 561 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,320 then you will know that I am he and I do nothing on my own 562 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,440 initiative. That doesn't mean he didn't have 563 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,040 other thoughts. We know this. 564 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,520 The garden lets us know that when he's in the garden praying 565 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,239 to his father just before he's handed over to be beaten so bad 566 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,840 you can't tell he's a man and to be scourged and have stripes put 567 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,120 on his back so that we can walk in the divine healthcare or 568 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,600 Kingdom healthcare while we remain in the earth, he said. 569 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:48,520 Father, if there's any other way, let this cup pass, but not 570 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,679 my will. Your will be done. 571 00:34:52,760 --> 00:35:00,480 Yeah, 3 * 3 times. Hallelujah. 572 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,240 But he put it down. And do you think he was 573 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:09,240 suffering emotionally? I mean, this is 3 years of 574 00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:13,280 ministry, three years of raising dead people, healing sick 575 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:20,880 people, giving finances away, feeding people, delivering 576 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,960 people from demons and devils. I mean, everybody's seeing his 577 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,320 miracles all over the place and now a mobs come to kill him. 578 00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:39,680 This is the things I get. I mean, even the most solid 579 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,560 person can get a little aggravated at that. 580 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,400 It's like really, Lord, I'm. Dying for these people here. 581 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,560 I mean as much as. We've seen, I mean, and they 582 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,160 still can't figure this out. But what'd he do? 583 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,680 Not my will butcher will be done, he said. 584 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,600 I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak these 585 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,680 things as the Father taught me, and he who sent me is with me. 586 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,520 He has not left me alone. For I always say always, always 587 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,920 do the things that are pleasing to him, and again, that word 588 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,680 pleasing. You have to know that in 589 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,800 context, anytime you're seeing this word pleasing to him, that 590 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,800 is the context of faith. Because Hebrews 11/6 says 591 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,520 without faith it's impossible to please him. 592 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,240 And we saw on Sunday that verse five talks about how Enoch was 593 00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:31,160 pleasing to God because by faith, Enoch just went on home, 594 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,640 which means the Lord told him, son, I could just bring you up 595 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,760 here and save you for another time. 596 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,920 I got a different purpose for you. 597 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,960 And he believed that and left the planet in his flesh. 598 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:48,560 Wow, that's amazing. OK, So he was always pleasing, 599 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,960 which means he was always in faith. 600 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,800 He was always believing Father at his word. 601 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,600 Where does that bring us to us in our decree to remind us? 602 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:02,560 Mark chapter 1122 to 24 right. Huh. 603 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,120 My dad's name was. Enoch. 604 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,920 That is true. My dad's name was Enoch. 605 00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:15,920 My father unfortunately did not care for his name. 606 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,080 But it's probably because he rebelled. 607 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,240 Against God anyway. Not till the later part of his 608 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,760 years He did get born again, and he's present with the Lord. 609 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,400 Hallelujah. But he did not like his name, so 610 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,400 he used the pseudo name Earl instead. 611 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,360 So, well, my wife, my, my, my, my wife. 612 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,480 But my mom got pregnant with me or and had me because they 613 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,240 didn't have what you were having back then. 614 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:48,520 And I came out and it was a boy. So they had a name picked out. 615 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,800 They were going to call me Gregory Frank at one point. 616 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,960 That was really my second name. My first name was going to be 617 00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:01,760 Stephen Paul. Yeah, right. 618 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:11,920 But my father's brother had a son 18 months earlier and called 619 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,920 him Stephen Michael or Michael Stephen. 620 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,000 I don't remember now. I just called him Steve, so I 621 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,760 don't remember if it's a middle name or whatever. 622 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,840 So I lost Stephen Paul because of that. 623 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,880 So. Then my mom was thinking about 624 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,720 Gregory Frank. Frank happened to be his father. 625 00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:31,600 I don't know where Gregory comes from, to be honest with you, but 626 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,360 my dad's like, I may not have another son, so I would rather 627 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,280 him, you know, have my initials. But he didn't like his name. 628 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,200 His full name was Enoch Washington Glisson. 629 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:48,640 Right, So. And here's the thing about 630 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,160 Enoch. It was a family name. 631 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:58,240 It was in every generation. Tell me. 632 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,080 Yep. So he wanted EWG. 633 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,960 So he went with his pseudo name because he went by EW. 634 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,880 So much so they didn't even know how to spell his name when he 635 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,320 was in 6th grade. They say write out your name, 636 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,400 put EW, glisten. They said no, your full name. 637 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,040 He couldn't spell Enoch Washington because he never 638 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,600 spelled it. They always called him EW. 639 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,760 He was from Georgia I. Get it? 640 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,920 I mean, he was from Georgia. I mean, that's true. 641 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,400 Here's what it is. I mean, it is what it is. 642 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:40,880 So anyway, I got Earl Wayne Glisten, but Earl is noble and I 643 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,160 appreciate that. At the end of the day, my wife 644 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,840 didn't like Enoch either, so it didn't make it any my sons. 645 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,600 But my daughter brought it back into the bloodline with Caius 646 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:58,080 Caius Enoch Fouche. So. 647 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,440 He'll be an Enoch that gets caught up. 648 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,960 I believe it in Jesus name. All right, Side Story. 649 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,640 Thank you. Mark 11. 650 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,880 And I was on time to finish early. 651 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,960 So, Jesus. Answered and said to them, Have 652 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,560 faith in God, one translation says, Have have the God kind of 653 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,880 faith. For surely I say to you, whoever 654 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,760 says to this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea and 655 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,680 does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he 656 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,880 says will be done. He will have whatever he says. 657 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,200 Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask, when 658 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,160 you pray, believe that you receive them, you will have 659 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,320 them. So there's power, in our words. 660 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,400 We know this. We've talked about this all 661 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:41,400 year. And you got to make sure you 662 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,760 always recognize this. Because the more and more we're 663 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,920 being bombarded by social media and all kind of stuff, and the 664 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,760 hours, if you don't watch out, are being bombarded, you're 665 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,560 going to say stuff that you should not decree. 666 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,720 OK, your. Words have power, period. 667 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,040 Because. God is going to. 668 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:13,640 Judge us by every idle word. So that's why I said be quick. 669 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:18,320 To hear Slow to open your mouth. Come on. 670 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,760 Reminds me of the. Movie Titanic at the end when 671 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,840 they're all on the boat and the one lady was screaming, he says. 672 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:34,000 Shut that hole in your face. Husbands, you need to let your 673 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000 wives. Have permission. 674 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,600 When you start speaking out of lineman of the word say, shut 675 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:43,400 that hole in your face. That's not. 676 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,320 What a king would say connected to Jesus. 677 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,280 Amen. So again at the end of the day. 678 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,600 You're going to have what you say. 679 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,200 The key here is you don't doubt. So this is not magical thinking. 680 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,400 It's not wishful thinking. These are not. 681 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,360 This is not like this is not a A spell. 682 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,040 Right. You know, a little. 683 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,080 Magical spell that with a little enchant that you enchant and it 684 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,520 comes No, this is a firm persuasion because you will say 685 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,760 what you firmly believe all. Right. 686 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,960 It's going to come out. That's why Proverbs 1821 says it 687 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,840 this way. Death and life. 688 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,920 Are in the power of the tongue. And those who love it will eat 689 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,560 its fruit. That's both fruit. 690 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,080 You can eat death or you can eat life. 691 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,520 It's entirely up to you, but you're. 692 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,960 Saying it. Because there are two laws out 693 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,800 there, right? There are two laws out there, 694 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,560 and let's just go there. Romans chapter 8, verse 2. 695 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,120 Says for the law. Of the spirit of life. 696 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:53,480 For the law of the spirit of life. 697 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,240 In Christ, Jesus set you free from the law of sin and death. 698 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,720 There is a law in play with sin and death. 699 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,080 If you speak according to that law, you will decree that law 700 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,640 and you'll get what that law demands. 701 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,480 But if you'll speak from the. Other law, and this is new 702 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,800 covenant stuff, OK? Because people who says the laws 703 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,160 done away with are ignorant of the word, OK, It's just 704 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,760 ignorance of the word because they take stuff in such a little 705 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,120 nugget and it's so wrong. Jesus, I said don't think that 706 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,800 I've come to abolish the law, I've come to fulfill it first 707 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,320 thing, he said. But you understand things are 708 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,040 not off the books. Because thou shalt. 709 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,640 Not kill is still in this covenant. 710 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,920 OK, all right. Obviously we're not sacrificing 711 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,880 the animals. Jesus is the sacrifice. 712 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,320 My point is, is there is a law in effect. 713 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,680 It's called the law of the of life, the the spirit of life in 714 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,360 Christ. So when you speak what Christ 715 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:59,840 speaks, you speak life, and then it has to be created based upon 716 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,400 that. So if you keep calling, you know 717 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,600 your kids stupid, dumb, they're never going to obey you. 718 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,800 Well, guess what you're. Keeping an. 719 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,520 Environment in your home now again, they are free will. 720 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,000 They can do what they want, but there's no reason for you to 721 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,480 have a counter environment. I mean, they're. 722 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,880 Going to have a challenge. In love themselves you. 723 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,840 Might as well call them. Something else. 724 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,960 Same thing with your spouse. You should call them what the 725 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,360 Bible says. Even if they act different, at 726 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,120 least create the environment that life can show up. 727 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,320 I mean, it's easy to call those things that are as they owe are, 728 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,360 but we're faith people. Amen. 729 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,200 Now, some things I'm calling 'cause they are and 'cause it's 730 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,880 life. You know, when I say my wife is 731 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,640 better than silver and gold, that's not faith, that's 732 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,280 reality. It's happened. 733 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:57,200 I have what I say because she loves God and she does it, and 734 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,320 she is very proficient at putting down her flesh and not 735 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:06,400 walking according to her personal desire in any matter. 736 00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:12,480 And I am the I am a beneficiary of that type of person who's 737 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,240 living by faith and loving God in the fear of the Lord like 738 00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:17,560 that. I understand that it's not 739 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,200 because I declared it by myself, but I sure declared it before 740 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,520 she knew it, 'cause I used to call her a woman of God before 741 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,480 she would even believe she could be a woman of God. 742 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:26,880 She was just glad she's going to heaven. 743 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,600 Right, you've heard her. Testimony, she said. 744 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,880 I was raised in the church. She was raised heathen and at 745 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,280 the end of the day we both got touched by God and he's done 746 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,120 something amazing in our lives. And neither. 747 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:48,560 One of us picked what we're in. We just said yes, I mean that's. 748 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,240 It, you know, you could say, well, you were born to do this. 749 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,240 Yes, I was. I had to find that out. 750 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,080 I didn't know that when I. Was born. 751 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,120 I didn't know he called me into this because I have my own 752 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,920 plans. In the 4th grade I was going to 753 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,080 be an astronaut. And what an awesome report I 754 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,720 did, Yeah. And in the eighth grade, I was 755 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:11,080 still. Kind of pursuing it because I 756 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,040 actually applied to the Air Force Academy. 757 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,720 Yeah, I got a great score on the SAT in the eighth grade. 758 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,200 Then I went ahead and submitted an application of which they 759 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,520 wrote me back and say we love your scores but you. 760 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,480 Need to. Graduate. 761 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:35,640 OK, kind of ironic one time, I. Was watching the Air Force 762 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,320 county play a a football game and a guy was on their team that 763 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,720 had the last name Glisson. Yeah, it never would have been 764 00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:44,640 me. I was too small. 765 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,000 I I don't know. They might be kind of desperate 766 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,840 in the Air Force to actually have players on the football 767 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:53,200 team, don't you think, King? They probably were desperate, 768 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,560 especially when I was in high school. 769 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,840 I might have made it anyway. I didn't make it. 770 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,320 My father died 15 days after I graduated, and I became highly 771 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,280 unfocused. So anyway. 772 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,720 What we're saying or decreeing life and death are in our mouth, 773 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,240 and this is always in play. So again, even though God wanted 774 00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,880 us to emphasize, I think God just needed us to really focus. 775 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,720 And I hope you've been doing that this year and I hope you've 776 00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:21,680 seen that there's been things done different in your life this 777 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,200 year because you've been focused on what you've said and. 778 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,840 Continue to do this and again. You're not better. 779 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,680 We're just doing what he says. And when we do what he says, we 780 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,200 have it. We're guaranteed it, and it's 781 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,240 life. KISS keeps showing up around us. 782 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,360 Now there's trials and tribulation, but we're able to 783 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:42,720 speak through that because we have life and we choose not to 784 00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:47,680 call the problem the problem. We find God's answer. 785 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,040 Aren't you glad God's got an answer? 786 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,400 There's nothing more draining than to be around people who all 787 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,320 they want to do is point out the problem. 788 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,880 I mean, everybody can do that. That's. 789 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,000 The easiest thing. To do is find a problem. 790 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,800 It's a whole nother breed when you begin to say yeah, that's a 791 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,760 problem, but lost an answer. How do we fix? 792 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,000 It How do we not get stuck now at this problem? 793 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,800 We're going to have the answer that gets us in restoration and 794 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,080 reconciliation and, you know, recovery and love or whatever 795 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,320 makes us better. All right, Matthew 1237 says, 796 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,720 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you 797 00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:33,600 will be condemned. So again, what's going on? 798 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,000 What's wrong with your life? You. 799 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:43,600 Nobody else. See, I've learned to speak. 800 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,000 Such with my words that even if people are creating a negative 801 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,840 environment towards me with their words. 802 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,280 Because here's the thing. The words. 803 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,920 I speak have more power. You, I mean, you got to kind of 804 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,640 imagine sometimes, I mean just think if someone's bombarding 805 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,040 you with constant negativity, you know, and that seems 806 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,560 extremely powerful because some people just let that weigh them 807 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,200 down. But you understand I have a one 808 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,040 word from God that can obliterate all that. 809 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,840 Blitter if I believe what? God has said about me. 810 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,200 Let me say this. Yeah. 811 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,960 Thank you, Lord. The way that you know that your 812 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,840 words have power is when you first believe God's word about 813 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,560 what he has said about you. Because the minute you know what 814 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,760 God has said about you, you are the righteousness of God in 815 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,720 Christ. You are fearfully and 816 00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:35,320 wonderfully made, right. I don't care what you've been 817 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,760 through, how you were raised, what happened in your life, 818 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,800 where you came from, what kind of atrocities happened, Doesn't 819 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,840 matter. Makes you got blood ball, man 820 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,720 minutes. You got up underneath the blood 821 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,200 and you got into the Kingdom of God and and you begin to renew 822 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,400 your mind and begin to realize who God has made you to be. 823 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,360 Well then, at that point, nobody's negative words can 824 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,120 touch me, 'cause you ain't talking to me. 825 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,560 So what that? Does it has eradicated all 826 00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:05,680 insecurities? I don't have one. 827 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:11,000 How can I have an insecurity when the king has called me his 828 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,160 favor? His beloved. 829 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,400 Right. How can his child? 830 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,760 How can I have any? That's my old life talking and 831 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,280 it's dead. I said it's dead. 832 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,680 It doesn't exist anymore. So I don't let somebody come 833 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,440 talk to me about my past or my perceived path past or what they 834 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,960 want my future to be. I only speak out of my nature. 835 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,840 And when you know that. Then you can say boom. 836 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,520 And it just Iraq because. Again, they are. 837 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,520 They have what the Bible would call dark sayings, and mine's 838 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,480 full of light and there's no place. 839 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,040 That darkness is. Overcome will ever overcome 840 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,600 light unless you put the light out. 841 00:51:09,140 --> 00:51:10,740 And I'm telling. These last days, you're going to 842 00:51:10,740 --> 00:51:16,140 need it. You're going to need it. 843 00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:22,740 So you need to talk up yourself. Man, you fearfully and 844 00:51:22,740 --> 00:51:23,460 wonderfully. Made. 845 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,640 That's not conceit. That's God's confession over 846 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,200 you. I'm strong in the Lord. 847 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,560 And the power of his mind, I mean, that's what he said about 848 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,120 me, right? So again, I'm only saying what 849 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,920 God said. So I have no inferiority 850 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:48,040 complex. First Peter 3. 10/4 The one who 851 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:52,240 desires life to love and see good days, must keep his tongue 852 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:56,240 from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. 853 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,120 Peter actually got that from Psalms 3413 If you want to write 854 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,840 that down, Proverbs 13 Three says it this way. 855 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,600 The one who guards his mouth preserves his life. 856 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:11,640 The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. 857 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:14,600 So you don't. You don't want to be known. 858 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,000 As a person who talks all the time, I mean, you don't know how 859 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,280 to carry on conversation because there's some people who are 860 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,560 extremely gifted to be able to carry on conversation. 861 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,880 I have no problem with that. Some personalities lend to that. 862 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,520 I'm just saying you need to be aware of what you're saying. 863 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,480 You need to become very aware. Of what you're saying, so that 864 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,760 your words are intentional, exact. 865 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:40,480 Right and and let. Me. 866 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,360 Just say this. You're going to say more when 867 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:49,440 things are positive, you'll say. You'll say less when things are 868 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,280 negative. When I say less, that just means 869 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,360 you'll hold your tongue more to make sure you know what you need 870 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,480 to say before you say. When everything's going good, 871 00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,720 it's easy. Just to talk. 872 00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:03,120 But when things start going bad, you shouldn't try to retaliate 873 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,040 quick. You should be listening in here, 874 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,280 not what this is saying. What? 875 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,560 How do I respond, Lord? Because again, it's slow. 876 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,800 To speak because I'm hearing from the inside on how to speak 877 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,760 life decree the right thing last. 878 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,120 Verse tonight is first. John 514 Well, 2 verses first 879 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,920 John 514 and 15. This is the confidence which we 880 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,120 have before him, that if we ask anything according to his what 881 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,320 will he God always hears his word. 882 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:42,720 In fact, the Bible says that. He is going to and fro looking 883 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,880 to perform His word. His word will not return unto 884 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,720 Him void, but it shall accomplish that which it was 885 00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:51,000 sent to do. He's always looking over His 886 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,200 word to perform it. So when we begin, like Jesus, 887 00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:58,400 only speak what we've heard the Father say, when we declare and 888 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:03,760 decree it as a king in the earth who represents the King Jesus 889 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,840 Christ, then we know He hears us. 890 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,520 And then verse 15 says, And if we know that He hears us, which 891 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:13,560 we do, He hears His own word in whatever we ask, we know that 892 00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:17,280 that we have the request we have asked of Him. 893 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,560 So again, our decree is not our own personal idea, and we're 894 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:29,000 making God submit to us. Our decree is His will for us in 895 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,560 our situation or for our lives, whatever the case may be. 896 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,880 Or it could be a word of knowledge for someone else's 897 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,240 life, because for whatever reason, they just happen to not 898 00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:44,200 be here in the Holy Ghost. OK, in any of those occasions. 899 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,960 We're there to speak life. We are we speaking what God, 900 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,640 which will speak life. And it will cause you know, us 901 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,640 to be able to move in the things that God's ordained for us. 902 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,680 Our decree always rests within His Word. 903 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:02,160 His Word is where the power is. God exalts His Word even above 904 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,880 all of His name. When everything's said and done, 905 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:09,000 heaven and earth will pass away. And when I say that, that mean 906 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:14,720 they will cease to exist. They'll be changed, but His word 907 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:21,800 will never end. So you want to get into? 908 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:28,280 Real maturity. As a believer you know and do 909 00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:35,760 not know. Alone know and do His word 910 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:40,560 rightly divided, and nothing can stop you, because you'll hold 911 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,400 all the authority, just like nothing could stop Jesus. 912 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:50,080 He could not be stopped. On the planet, he had to lay 913 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,000 down his life. I mean, think about it. 914 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,080 The beatings they did on him couldn't kill him. 915 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:06,640 OK, the only reason? Death. 916 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,120 Exists is because sin. And when did Jesus sin? 917 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,400 He didn't. He became it. 918 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:19,160 That's why Jesus has to say it is and he gave up his spirit. 919 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,200 Hallelujah. Amen. 920 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,800 I said Amen. So when you're in the. 921 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,880 Perfect will of God doing. Nobody can stop you. 922 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,800 Nobody. Now your exit strategy or God's 923 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:43,000 will for you may be like Paul. Paul knew and so did Peter for 924 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,680 that matter. It's time to go. 925 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,200 We just happened to go because someone's going to cut our heads 926 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,840 off. And it's permissible this. 927 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,240 Time but before you couldn't do it. 928 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,320 You couldn't kill me in the sea. You couldn't beat me with rods 929 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,720 and kill me You. You couldn't even keep me dead 930 00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:00,880 when you stole me and drugged me out of town. 931 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,880 When Paul said I know a man in body or out of body I don't 932 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,320 know, called it to the 3rd heaven during that time and Lord 933 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:08,640 said you ain't done. Get back in your body. 934 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,880 We got things to do. And then he walked back into the 935 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,640 same town are the people who stoned him. 936 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:15,800 I mean, that's bold stuff, right? 937 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,480 There. Are you hearing me? 938 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,400 And then John. They bold him and all. 939 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,440 He's still alive. I'm not done. 940 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,760 Are you hearing me? I mean, we're unstoppable. 941 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,480 Force. What can man do to us? 942 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,120 So you got to make sure your mouth is always in alignment 943 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,600 with the Kingdom, baby, I'm alright. 944 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,240 Thank you so much for listening.
